I personally prefer including issues as git trailers:

    fix thing in foo

    Issue: ABC-123
Git has plenty of builtins for parsing and formatting these trailers, so you can easily create custom git log aliases that let you see them inline and parse them for use with CI.
Charles Proxy 7 months ago

I used Charles for a while and also jumped on the Proxyman bandwagon. It’s a slick tool and even works for remote debugging (i.e., an iPhone attached to your computer with a cable).

It’s not Tesonet, Proton is wholly self-owned and managed. Proton VPN was briefly sharing employees with Tesonet during initial app bringup, and that partnership is long over. Naturally due to competition and the huge importance of privacy in this space, people still bring this up, but Proton VPN does not and never will sell or share your data with anyone.

Source: I am a Proton VPN employee.

I think most of what makes this font readable is the user using context to sort of guess at what the word could be.

If you start writing things that aren’t sentences normal people would use (or especially if you start mixing case) it doesn’t hold up. Still interesting for a “normal” use case though.

I think the author is speaking about a specific tradition of Buddhism, Zen, and is drawing parallels between that tradition and Quakerism. The “picking and choosing” point doesn’t make sense to me from that angle. Are you picking and choosing from Christianity when you talk about Protestantism, for example? His thoughts on Zen are pretty on point.

Nearly free speech for me is one of those services still (excellently) run by nerds.

Its no-frills, functional UI reminds me of the old internet before services and sites began coalescing into bigger, faceless, soulless monoliths. I didn’t know about this policy before today, but now I love them even more.

If you’re looking for a place to host your next project or domain, I can’t recommend them enough!

A very poignant and well-written piece, which only gets sadder as you realize the scale and extent of these systemic issues landing people in such places, and it’s only getting worse.

The article, for all of its other faults, also manages to breeze over another crucial point:

“Research shows that blue light suppresses the body’s production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. This can be helpful in the morning, when you want to wake up…”

I find this to be a much easier habit to maintain, at least during summer: as close as possible after waking up, get as much light as you can, and at a regular time if possible. Sun lamps are an expensive but effective option during darker months, but they generally aren’t covered by insurance.

The first I heard of this was when I spoke to a sleep doctor, and it has worked much better for me than melatonin ever did.

Switzerland has a national payment network called Twint, created by the Post, that’s based on QR codes. I think the bigger challenge is getting cell coverage to all of these remote peaks.

I think they know this and may already be working on it, but if not, it’s likely they’ve done the math that the engineering investment to flesh out the iPad experience wouldn’t be worth the potential payout - people can always get a MacBook, as you rightly point out.

I’m going to reply in this thread, since I’m probably the employee you’re referring to.

I would like to reiterate that this is completely untrue and borders on disinformation.

ProtonVPN maintains its own VPN infrastructure, and we take our commitment to user privacy very seriously.

It shouldn’t be surprising that the VPN space is a very competitive market, and certain people have a vested interest in defaming certain VPN providers, especially among a technical audience.

As someone who works for Proton VPN, I can assure you we do not resell any white label VPN services, and that the people I work with every day are incredibly smart people who truly, deeply care about users’ online privacy.

I’ll concede that this isn’t much better evidence than the links you provided, but that archived site in your comment really doesn’t read like a reputable source of truth, either.

It’s somewhat ironic that most of these examples are about Russian disinformation, while we hear constantly in American news and on social media sites about Russian disinformation.

The wiki article itself kind of reads like someone has an axe to grind.

“Hello? Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mister Floyd

Will you accept the charges from United States?”

I always wondered what those beeping tones were in the recording at the end of that song (“Young Lust”). I guess I’m not old enough :)

Are there any indications yet that this makes masks less effective for controlling the spread indoors? And if so, by how much?

“Raises R number” could mean any number of things - is it more infectious through touch, by breathing it in, or when viral particles reach your eyes?
