Have you ever injured a human being or, through inaction, allowed a human being to be harmed?

Or maybe, nomoregoogle.xyz and get your domain taken away?

So, what I hear you saying is to try this in the US
Re:React created roadblocks in our enterprise app on Friday January 22, 2021 @05:29PM (#25877110)
Why not split the frontend and the backend apps into separate applications? That would help with the future proofing since if you wanted to switch to another javascript framework, you could do that.

EDIT: forgot an important word

I miss Adium

Trillian used to be like Pidgin and Adium on Windows but then they went and made its own IM service.

They can stop Trump from posting on Twitter but I was also being facetious.
It's like jsfiddle for multiple languages.
Re:Fastmail was down on Thursday January 21, 2021 @05:18PM (#25865214)
Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking. I think I like the way fastmail does it more than gmail too.
Re:Fastmail was down on Thursday January 21, 2021 @05:16PM (#25865202)
Nice. Thinking about it more, I think I could live without it but I have it with Gmail at the moment. I like the per-address basis though, in Gmail I add the domain alias then when I add an email alias that alias applies to all the domains.

In the US, companies have the freedom to take away an individuals freedom of speech.
Re:Fastmail was down on Thursday January 21, 2021 @05:08PM (#25865095)
Can I have domain aliases with fastmail? I saw I can have email aliases but can I specifically have a second domain aliased to a primary domain?

EDIT: They do. https://www.fastmail.com/help/receive/domains.html#mirrored

I don't mean this as a stink to Finmark but it's also a motivating factor to move on to something that better fits your needs as you get bigger instead of trying to squeeze everything out of a service designed for helping startups.
Re:VSCode, Dev Containers and Docker on Thursday January 21, 2021 @11:27AM (#25860632)
The problem is "technically" still there in Windows it's just that Microsoft decided to push things along by creating WSL which essentially puts Linux (with Linux Containers) on Windows.

The Windows solution is the equivalent of Smart Hulk figuring out time travel.

I'm not saying it's not good, because it is.

Re:Raspberry Pi Lego Sorter on Tuesday January 19, 2021 @02:08PM (#25837354)
I'm not against it as much as in aww because the device itself is made of A LOT of legos, so not only do you have a lot of legos from building the sorting device but then you have a lot of legos for the sorting device to be useful.
By name it wouldn't but they link to several files where the "offending code" resides, so if they're using examples where someone is downloading a movie then that would prompt for a DMCA.
Re:Raspberry Pi Lego Sorter on Tuesday January 19, 2021 @10:15AM (#25834162)
How many legos do you have to have to build it and still have enough left over that you need a machine to sort through them?
Re:Amazon: Not OK – Why we had to change Elastic licensing on Tuesday January 19, 2021 @10:09AM (#25834094)
I am interested to see how long or if Elastic sticks around after this. If people will just move on to another AWS product or if they'll keep using Elasticsearch.
Re:Tech companies are profiling us from before birth on Monday January 18, 2021 @07:16PM (#25828405)
So, like in Black Mirror?
I think preprending “forward” was meant to avoid confusion. Reverse proxy and Forward proxy, but now you’re wondering if there’s 3 types of proxies.
How would "random" bag checks be milder than video surveillance?

- They're typically not going to be watching it 24/7. They'll only look at the tapes if something occurs.

- Random bag checks, like in programming, is not really random. You either have a particular target or type in mind or you apply it to everyone and bag checks are a lot more invasive than video surveillance.

You teach your children what you know, pass on your knowledge and improvise where you need to.
Re:Thou shalt not run a database inside a container on Wednesday January 13, 2021 @08:47PM (#25770748)
If you do just make sure you create volumes to the host for the data to be saved, but yeah as a general rule no.
You just Open Safari, go to your web page you want, click the share icon, and "Add to Home Screen" for iOS.
Yeah, I am willing to admit it was a loose interpretation of "sketchy" but it was that it's titled "About WireGuard" then takes you to a donation page that I was thinking about. Why not just call it "Donate to WireGuard" or link it to an /about page. You could have donation information on the about page in addition to information about WireGuard.
Couldn’t you just change the url to /about instead of /donations? Seems sort of the thing sketchy sites do to say one thing and link to another.

If I want to donate to a project I want to browse the site and learn more about rather than straight to the donation page. Seems like a money grab to take me to the donation page.

Well, it's a good thing the moratorium on federal executions is gone if they can charge and convict Trump of treason.

Re:Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012) on Monday December 28, 2020 @07:52PM (#25565302)
Yeah, I set it up with the Atlassian tutorial, https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles, and store it in a git repo in Keybase.io
