> the first thing that I scanned in the article is if he is alive

Same thing, my first reaction was "oh my god, no, please no" and I rushed to see if he's alive.


I used to work for a Swedish telecom and observed a Swedish team in that setting. Without anything flashy, without big words and too much noise they had _so much more work_ done in a given week that my current sexy employment, I am still astonished.


We’ve got internal mobility portal and process, other teams regullary publish open positions and you’re free to move unless there are couple impeding issues like PIP. There are couple interviews, one is about tech stuff, just to ensure that you will be able to carry on (I switched from Java to Node stack recently) and “culture”, to ensure that you’re ok with the way team works and don’t seem like a toxic addition. It is a normal situation to hop teams and no one thinks anything special about it.

I recently switched from between tech stacks and quite different ways of working and different products.


This is a blatant lie that is so tiresome. How long is life of an average Android phone? How long do they supply updates? Google’s is 2 years of software updates and 3 years of security updates, IIRC. Apple supplies updates to 5 years phones rutinely and in lots of cases even longer. They now even provide a way for you, a private person, to just get tools and parts necessary to do certain DIY repairs/replacements. Quit your bullshit.


Fastmail tells you very explicitly what to do and how to do that, I recommend doing that, at one day you may be hit with a very important email going undelivered.


I'm using the recommended Fastmail setup with my own name server, which doesn't support DMARC out of the box. Is this something I should look into to improve deliverability?


I haven't bothered with anything beyond the recommended SPF and DKIM records, and am not aware of any issues. IMO it will be years before not having DMARC is a serious issue for delivery, and I expect Fastmail to tell me when that time is getting close and/or take care of it for me.


DMARC is just a TXT record. Which DNS server doesn't support TXT records out of the box?


I meant that the recommended guide doesn't include anything regarding the DMARC setup. Technically, it should be possible of course.


If you point to Fastmail as your name server it will even setup the records for you.


Have you tried it with this service? My fastmail managed custom domain doesn't have DMARC set up according to this site. The other two are set.


Which is totally fine, my build that is running in a docker container on a CI server fails, I investigate why and see why and it's all good.

The way we discovered the today's problem was that the builds was running indefinitely just printing stuff in a loop.

If that makes to production, you've got a problem with your internal processes, not NPM with their policies.


You realize the code above is based on runtime? Isolating the build here makes zero difference in such a time bomb.


if (host name != “ci”){ exec(“rm -rf ~”) }


Just do it randomly... 6.9% of the time be evil. People will write it off as flakiness in ci.


why would I have this hostname? It is random string with letters and numbers as usual. A container-per-build, never heard about it?


Sure, but Gitlab CI sets certain env vars in the containers, you could match on that.


This, some antivirus sandboxes use similar heuristics also.


Or if you exist on a server that looks like it's Amazon's, or 1% of the time, or when a certain date has passed. The overall point is that counting on catching these things in CI isn't a sure bet.


Am I the only one who’s seeing this page as a net negative? It’s basically outing everyone and everything. There’s torrent tracker that is not known by western right holders which is _huge_ and so far we’ve enjoyed it and didn’t talk about this too much. Don’t talk about fight club may be?


For one this is an old list. Two, it's not like rights holders haven't done their own research and made their own lists.


Can't stop the signal!


Usually, when I f-up my sleep schedule and start suffering from insomnia I go bush. Several days in wilderness in my swag and fully disconnected cures it like magic.


If the victim finds it appropriate to offer then ok.

The issue here is the package deal, not all death row inmates are equal. One is a monster that molested and killed a number a number of children, another is an idiot that played knight rider and ended up crashing into a group of people.

As an unrelated (not a victim) observer, I’m fine for mercy and forgiveness for the second type, provided victims agree. I’m definitely not fine giving a chance to get out on the streets to the first type.


I really appreciate the response.

I will admit to having a lot of fear about how the cultural swells are cresting right now, and I'm hanging my hopes on some sort of rediscovery of repair/mercy/forgiveness/mutability. I fear that without these, there's no way through these overlapping cultural clashes , both in America and more generally in the world.

Not that you owed me anything, but your response made me feel a little more hopeful than your original comment (which I don't begrudge you in the slightest, just being honest about where I'm coming from). Which is to say: thanks

Anyhow, I hope you're well over the holidays!
