thought they have moved mail.google.com to google.com/mail a while ago. Tracking would still be possible over 2 domain, but then google would have to do a bit of ETL operations. Guess this will save some more engineering.

How would you react if someone came in and said "there is no real gravity; it's just that the earth loves us very much"? Or "there are no viruses and bacteria; we get sick from bad air and evil spirits"?

Gravity can be measured more objectively than social science (such as psychology) concept such as introvert/extrovert, which is determined by committees such as DSM IV or maybe now V. Introversion and extraversion are just one thing that is measured within a certain context.

I never understood why company like Reddit, which no users give a fuck if it is 50Billion or 250Billion valuations. It is kinda like Craigslist, it provides a benefit to the society as public forum for information sharing. The cost to run it shouldn't be too high. Just keep it running for the purpose of that. Don't get into those MBA talk about making it profitable. There are business that can be profitable. Something like a public forum, should be like digital public utility, kind alike park and public library.

DevOps is broken 4 years ago

glad someone said it. I mean all the CI/CD pipeline are just in the old day *nix/bsd days bash/perl/awk/sed/python/ruby (fill in the blank) scripts. One problem when IT/Software development become more main stream is that everything got another layer of obfuscation especially in corporate cultures and amongst sales and recruiters and managements. Development Operation or pipeline sounds sooo much better bash scripts.

that is reason many older developer tend to do everything biz logic etc all in db store procedure/functions/view, etc. The cost of getting the data is native, no connection pooling needed, and with V8/python integration in the PG, it is non trivial what language you use. If you are dealing with large amount of data in a db, why not just do everything there. DB like sql has cursor, merge, that makes manipulating large set of data much easier than moving it on to another language environment.

Many developers in now and before like to have their own desk/space it helps them think. Getting ride of that space or changing may not be optimal for many developers I've worked with.

or if the user allows JS in their browser, then just do some GPU/CSS/Font Collections,etc. finger printing and get the unique id, since all the major bowser vendors are not fixing this problem (except may be for webkit).

Yup. For serious people like military, etc they do keep important info in NON-digital form. When Snowden revelations came out, Russians switched to type writer for their internal memos.

For personal use, just have to say offline USB drive is a good investment if you can make the physical switch.

Until we can have something like the quantum entanglement communication.

and also > Now, we’re deepening our integration beyond .crypto to include more top-level domains – including .nft, .x, .wallet, .bitcoin, .blockchain, and .dao.

Hmm, for something to claim to be Unstoppable Domains, why not include .onion as well, seems like that is more an unstoppable domain than what Brave is offering. Any comments on that Brave?

I kind of wish they went for the matlab cell array style where a function can return an array, but it just becomes a data structured stored within a single cell. you mean kinda like json and jsonb in postgres?

GitHub Outage 4 years ago

from the message I'm getting it seems like the load balancer is not able to spawn up server to handle new connections. Again, status page needs to reflect that, which means the status server page is NOT running on the same infrastructure as the main server group. Stop using AWS(or whatever fill in the blank hosting provider) for the status and production environments.

If you look at Haraka in the list, it is used by craigslist to deliver a lot emails every day, they switched to it from postfix to save cost.

I know Haraka is smtp only, however by using ZoneMTA like what wildduck is using, it will be a complete email solution.

The real question is every human being have ability to have create these kind of bomb, I can see civilisation can be wiped out in an instance at our current level of mental/psychological/spiritual maturity.

I think when people compare Matrix/Element a bit differently than all others. It is federated chat client (like email), that along is something worth considering for people who wants to keep their message and communication channel open. All the other chat program, such as What's App, Signal, Wire all belong in the same universe much like AOL back then. Signal actually discourage others from running their own servers. Matrix allows us to have our own domain and address, which is forever ours. If we don't like the provider that is running our server, we can just start our own (just like email). For that along I would rather support a version of Element.io/Matrix.org than another other programs.
