My point was that there's not always something to be done "now", and sometimes when you "break things" it, shockingly, has negative consequences that forward-looking changes can't necessarily undo.

Honestly, it seems like they're doing the right thing now, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if the answer to this is, "They shouldn't have put it there in the first place." Yes, it's probably som

What about provisioning other, non-securedrop stuff on that subdomain, and not calling it "securedrop"? Seems like that's better than nothing: misc.mydomain.com/securedrop misc.mydomain.com/pacman-game misc.mydomain

IIRC Signal did get a "knock at the door" and, rightly, had almost nothing to give the government - mostly because of how they designed their architecture, but admittedly partially because of the metadata they chose not to store

I would absolutely agree with this, except OP says that they don't know the relevant language or framework well enough to write code - it's possible but unlikely that they'd have the ability to understand the code well enough

I dunno if flagging is right here, but you can't downvote submissions on HN.

Yes, I didn't intend that there was a contradiction, just that "jargon" and technical words are actually used more in technical writing than in other kinds of writing, and it can be tricky to understand where the line is, h

This might not be so bad as a general guide to writing things like blog posts or whatever, but I'm specifically looking to get better at technical writing - e.g. writing software documentation. For example, the prohibition there on &

by x1798DE 10y ago
Yeah, I assumed it was something like that, just that if I were writing a book on writing clear non-fiction, I wouldn't use archaic language in my example sentences. "Avoid unnecessary adverbs - for example, rather than saying &#x

> The way he writes makes even interesting topics feel deadly boring. This sounds like a great endorsement to me. Another complaint I had about Zinsser's book was that he was giving you advice on how to "spice up" your wri

by x1798DE 10y ago
I was so disappointed with this book. Some of the platitudes Zinsser goes into are reasonable, like try to be uncluttered, direct and to the point, but all the worked examples seem to just be arbitrarily chosen to his taste. For example, in

It's not money laundering to rearrange your payment structure to avoid currency conversions. If half your customers pay you in Yen and half your customers pay you in dollars, it's not a crime to use the Yen directly to pay your Ja

I don't think I've ever seen an AMP page on a google search result, so either I'm searching for very different things than you are, or there's some browser configuration that doesn't show tons of AMP sites on Google

Yeah, I know it can be done, I use Chrome because it's more convenient to click the profile icon and pop up the new profile in a new window. In my experience with Firefox profile switching it's always been a much more involved pro

There is a button in the top right for profile switching. For me, it has always popped up a new window in a different profile, not closed the existing window.

Right now, what I'm doing is that all my standard browsing happens on Firefox, with uMatrix blocking JS and just generally locked down. For anything where I want to log in or have a persistent identity (stackoverflow, gmail, etc), I se

If it were me, I'd like entire essentially unconnected sub-profiles, restricted by sites - different caches, potentially different extensions, etc. Even with third-party cookies disabled, you end up with little tricks to authenticate a

Better yet, install an operating system that doesn't even have a setting to turn on or off advertisements, because there are no advertisements in it.

Posing a risk to your potential immediate descendants hardly counts as "the public", and you probably don't want to start down the road of enforcing that people don't have the right to do things to themselves which hav

You're generally not supposed to change the original titles of the pages you submit on HN. Sometimes it leads to low information titles, but I think generally it's an improvement over the clickbait people tend to submit when given

I think you completely misread that comment. He was just trying to say he wasn't involved but he has enough domain knowledge that he should be able (and is willing) to answer questions about the protocol. Not, "believe me when I s

Well, I'm assuming "applicant pool" means the pool of all people applying. My point was that even if women are a small portion of the applicant pool, they may represent a larger quality-weighted portion of the total applica

I can imagine many scenarios where even without biasing your hiring that your company doesn't look, demographically, like your hiring pool. For example, if your candidate pool is 80% foreign and you have a limited number of visas to of

I think the GP meant language arts as in writing, speaking and communicating in human languages, not programming languages. Not sure why you would need an advanced degree in that, though.

I'm struggling to think of a common use case that makes heavy use of the "40-75C" range of the Celsius scale, and even for cooking you're mostly looking in the 150C-300C range, which is no more convenient than using 300-
