GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Sweden Drops Julian Assange Rape Investigation

So this would be like mudering a bunch of people, hiding in cave to avoid prosecution and then claim that you are being tortured?

That's a bit silly in my view.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Let's Encrypt certificate issuance was down

Yeah... my own setup for a hobby project of mine renew 30 days in advance but I don't think the way it is set up will try again tomorrow if it fails today.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Jimmy Wales has quietly launched a Facebook rival

I agree that people aren't looking for new social networks, but I do wonder about your view of disengaging from Facebook. I keep reading about it on HN but I'm not seeing it myself. I wonder if it's a US-centric view.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Using Firefox for a faster, calmer and distraction-free internet

I really really want to use Firefox but I am still annoyed by the relative slowness compared to Chrome.

For me it is noticeable slower both when it comes to basic functionality such as opening new tabs, but also when it comes to the dev tools. When I want to use the dev tools I launch Chrome and use it from there just because I know it will be a more pleasant experience.

This doesn't seem to take into account that Access isn't just a database.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Shared Cache Is Going Away

Isn't this just a direct quote of the 4th paragraph?

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: U.S. opens a national security review of TikTok’s acquisition of Musical.ly

With China you know who is in charge. With Hackernews it is a bit more opaque.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Firefox to Discontinue Sideloaded Extensions

I think his point was that the following statement doesn't make much sense:

> This is most definitely a Good Thing, as it means for example no malicious extensions can be silently installed by malware etc.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: New 'unremovable' xHelper malware has infected 45,000 Android devices

I think a large part of "the older generation" doesn't even understand that smartphones have software running on them called "android". My mom calls her Samsung Galaxy "iphone".

Are you smiling because people who chose other options than you are having issues?

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Gitlab ‘rethinking’ third-party telemetry

But what's the difference? You PAY gitlab in both instances and your leverage is the same. Do you want to be involved in reviewing their motherboards for spyware chips as well?

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Amazon’s Consumer Business Turned Off Final Oracle Database

> curl https://install.citusdata.com/community/rpm.sh | sudo bash

Yeahh I guess not. Let me know when I don't have to hack it together with a bunch of scripts and the PG team takes availability seriously.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Amazon’s Consumer Business Turned Off Final Oracle Database

> Postgres

Yes, maybe there will be built in automatic fail over in a few years so you don't have to hack it together using a bunch of scripts.

Of course there's overlap in functionality and most companies should probably chose PG over Oracle. But PG is a joke in some areas like the above mentioned.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Counterfeit books “shipped and sold by Amazon”?

I don't see how it's an excuse. I don't care how they handle their processes internally. If they sell me counterfeit items I will report them to the police.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: CloudFlare is ruining the internet for me (2016)

Are you saying that OP is trying to do denial of service attacks? Stopping random users from accessing web sites isn't thwarting a DOS attack. If they classify random users as part of some bot net, it sounds like their algorithms are buggy.

GetOutOfBed | 6 years ago | on: Why some software developers hate Agile

Agile works perfectly fine where I works. We just try to adhere to the manifesto. Works much better than anything I have been part of the last 25 years of my career, for sure. We wasted so much time back then.
