I noticed it on several completely unrelated sites since a few days. I've never seen it before.

I was wondering if they're was some kind of consolidation/buyoff of pro-ad-protection services.

The French one is not bad, except for some elemnts (namely the last sentence on the page which I did not understand). Funny coming from a French company, 10 km away from my place :)

Thank you for being condescending, this helps the conversation.

Could you please point out in the comment I was responding to where you found this quote?

And maybe refer to

>Why not ask his son, who has joined him on sections of his walk, or at least read the abundant press coverage about the two and why Bushby was unable to follow his infant son to Northern Ireland?

which true to explain how great the relationship was once the kid grew up?

> Contribute a new question that was well stated and broadly applicable and get a response. You had to earn your answers

After hundreds of thousands of rep points (it's a long time I haven't been there,) - this is simply not true anymore.

It was the case at the very beginning, and then there was a flood of useless questions, and the psychotic users decided to downvote everyone. Some groups (such as Golang) became a real sect. Meta was for unhinged psychopaths.

I loved SO and spent a long time there. At some point it became a 4chan. Shame.

Plenty of the nework sites zre still great though.

No matter what, a kid needs his parents as a kid (in normal healthy families). There is not a case that I can imagine where not having them is good.

The fact that he gtew up to be a man much, much more mature than his father just shows he is the better person. And absolutely nothing on the father.

... and linkding (which I moved to after using Karakeep). https://linkding.link/

I had a .name domain since its birth. Then proceeded to loose it because of bad luck and bad planning.

I tried to retrieve it but after a week of back and forth exchanges (mostly back from my side) I gave up.

Moved to .fr hoping that it will be stable (price wise) as a national TLD - so far so good.

Probably, but corporations and assimilated organizations will not take the risk.

Yes I was - for me and my family (and a few friends)

What are the positive things he wanted to accomplish?

Note that I am French so this question is because over here he has always been seen as a conman

I moved to the cloud for a simple reason: if I die tomorrow people who depend in the service are screwed. And this is an important service, like email or digital archives.

I had no idea that example.com is even registered. I thought that it was the official placeholder for, well, examples.

It would not occur to me that my examples may lead somewhere at all. I was actually glad they do not, to spontaneously break incorrect configurations.

I was happily active on the SE network, in several sites, for 15 or so years. Without any special efforts I accumulated some 500k internet points. Cool.

And then something changed. Ego trips. Questions immediately downvoted. An extremely, psychotic Meta site.

I get it that plenty of questions are low quality. But for fuck's sake - why not just having a second look at high rep questions, which are more likely to be well rounded ? This is how you lose your more enthusiastic members.

Within SO some groups were great and others (Go, I am looking at you) were elitist cliques.

And then there are the niche sites: cooking, LaTeX, ... Welcoming, happy questions and relevant answers. These are the ones I will miss a lot.

A tribute to an excecrable individual.

This is the whole "should the man be separated from the artist"? I think not but the other perspective holds water as well.

Because we have the greatest lighthouses. A lot of people, great people told us we have them. It is true.

I despise wifi in planes on long hauls. With the improvement of the reliability, there are now people yelling their super important corporate call across the whole cabin.

On a recent flight I had to tell a guy in a seat nearby to stop yelling. He was obnoxious so I asked his neighbor to switch seats for a moment so that I can participate in that call as well. He stopped.

I always wish wifi was down.

I had a company card in the name of the company. The company was reimbursing it. I was supposed to file expense claims and they should match the reimbursement.

I had very high spendings so it would have been easy to smuggle something. I never did that because it is simply stealing.

I now have a company card at my name. The company bears the cost and it has an extended reimbursement time. I have to reimburse it so it is in my interest to file expense claims quickly. But I could use it for anything.

This is what annoys me most when people talk down security by obscurity. Sometimes it is not even security, but logs sanity. I usually ask them if they prefer to have more or less useless logs. Still waiting for someone to want more (except researchers)

Security in depth is made of (ideally independent) layers. Obscuring things is one such layer.

You can add a camera pointing to the display and analyze the image. You would have a perfect galvanic separation for reasons.

First of all, this is impressive.

I do not know how what the legal context is in your country, but you may need to have a device that uses public roads licensed to do so. In case of any legal issues (accidents, mostly) not only you would not be covered by your insurance, but your situation may worsen for having operated it. Something to keep in mind.

SSR (Server Side Rendering) provides the browser with a page that is created on the server (and possibly enhanced/hydrated on the client).

Having a separate backed and frontend allows for separation of duties: the client is responsible for the user-facing content and the backend deals exclusively with data flows. This allows to have several independent clients, machine to machine connections etc.

Whatever arrives to the server is untrusted, and the API (or other interfaces) only verify raw data (a JSON for instance) and there are excellent (backend) frameworks for that.

Mixing the visual content with the data is possible (Django does that for instance) but from a security perspective less efficient (again - separation of duties). It also requires to possible double the work to have an independent API.

In other words, if you separate the two you do not care about security on the front at all, and the one who builds the back can focus on their expertise.

From a security perspective I greatly prefer a client-server approach: you have an unsafe frontend where you care about ergonomy and aesthetics, and a backend which provides an API which handles the security.

Two different worlds and often two different kinds of developpers

I doubt they are doing this in the EU. One GDPR request and they would be in a lot of trouble.

Since I cannot find any mention of this in the French press and after asking a few friends who have children in high school (hopefully this is lycée, a tad too late to push people to reding) -- it is very likely not a nationwide experiment at all

A friend of mine briefly managed a "celebrities and ovni" kind of newspaper. His first decision was to distribute papers to generic people asking them to highlight the words they did not understand. He then proceeded to having these words added to the spellcheckers so that they are flagged as incorrect.

His time was a nice success for the newspaper and a sad addition to the average stupidity of the world.

I am French. When working for a large US company, I visited SF several times between 1998 and 2008. It was usually great, especially in the earlier years.

Then I went to visit with my kids in 2019. Oh man, what a change. The city felt really, really different. Even the guy who was giving us a tour had some nostalgia in his voice.

I won't be back soon.

I guess you are talking about that guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Omar_case

If so this was an action coordinated between the US and Italy, and he was not Italian either.

Does not work for France, it's a pity. I guess that all of EU will be out too as we have similar systems

An in addition Ireland is not part of Schengen
