Re:Financial Times bot warns if articles quote too many men on Wednesday November 14, 2018 @08:47PM (#18456204)
I think that would be discriminatory and if anything shaming people who don't want to come out

They have a rust plugin too
Your advice is so simple and yet something I had never thought of- "set no work hours". Do you blog or have any other advice? You seem to have a lot figured out.
I'm a big fan of remote working and I like github but it needs to be clarified, its "every employee working from home" and not 10.5M per employee.

Dang can you have a better headline- "gitlab made 10.5M by being 100% remote-only"

Re:Private by Design: How We Built Firefox Sync on Tuesday November 13, 2018 @10:14PM (#18447167)
I was referring to them saving encrypted data on their servers. Isn't that e2e encrypted? If not, does that mean an adversary with access to their database knows my chats?

You seem to know a bit about encryption. Which is why it baffles me- how does telegram do this? Does it need a connected device in this way too? So one can upload the encryption key if its lost? If no device is connected, can/how do they do it? If yes, can Firefox copy that way?
Re:Private by Design: How We Built Firefox Sync on Tuesday November 13, 2018 @09:00PM (#18446782)
I like, actually love Firefox. So as a major user I resent them for posting this article, its somewhat inethical when no recent work has been done on sync and they are , as they claim themselves, not willing to touch this code in fear of breaking it. If you are don't understand enough to make changes, maybe don't make an article about itm

High quality? It was web-boys trying to one up each other and bootcampers from toxic work environment practicing how to insult the parent poster without sounding aggressive.

Is there a JavaScript book that only covers the "modern" topics of JS (+DOM API where applicable) My knowledge is probably from 2008

Can I get a quick vote on keepass2 vs bitwarden, and a feature comparison?
Visio? Just guessing...
Has it been established that the video was doctored?

Hoe would you feel if I told you that every single new channel doctored the trump koi fish feeding video?

Re:Microsoft acquires Obsidian Entertainment on Saturday November 10, 2018 @10:19PM (#18424828)
I have always thought of studios as a creative peoples "dev team". So obsidian game developer team. But I've always wondered if there are any operational differences too. Do people move across these "dev" teams? These are all Microsoft employees, right?

Thank you for explaining so well and clearly!

To you and others, are there any other scenarios too that happen in production?

Re:Design Review: Key-Value Storage on Thursday November 08, 2018 @10:41PM (#18412175)
I have a layman question if somebody could please answer. I have never in my entire life seen databases fail. But db failures and issues seem to be brought up all the time. Now I understand that part if this maybe the cost function associated with them. But I'm sure there's also something that I have no clue about. So my questions are:

1) what kind of problems do databases actually face.

2) what kind of scenarios create those problems.

3) how does a programmer go about testing them?

Well said and great argument on both sides but you missed the point that nobody wants to spend time learning another tool. Most experts are very quick at things. Unless you know you're going to beat adobe 100% and with the entire feature set you wont try an innovative way.
