derimagia··on Dogecoin's inventor looks to the past for insight into the future
Honestly though, doesn't this also apply to a lot of people's choice of stocks?
derimagia··on GitHub down
Now that it's up you can see:

  This repository is also available on Mango at mango://{...}
derimagia··on Introducing the new SourceForge
Not exactly - you can then push all branches and they will be the same but then if the source repo changes you need to manually push for you. True sync would do this for you, along with ideally issues/wiki/etc.
derimagia··on Towards a bra-free Instagram experience
I think you are really underestimating how much the internet is paid from ads
derimagia··on LastPass’ Authenticator app is not secure
Does make it more vulnerable to things like keylogging - electronic managers skip typing completely. Also it makes people create simpler passwords than they would if it was electronic and becomes pretty unmanageable with a large amount of passwords.

I'm not saying it's the wrong way to go but if electronic password managers "never made sense" then I feel like you don't have the entire picture.

derimagia··on “Username or password is incorrect” is bullshit
A lot of places separate out the email/username field so it's a 2-step form. They will show you your avatar and maybe some other public info when you enter the password. This is a better way to do this I believe, although it does make logging in with a password manager [slightly] more annoying.
derimagia··on Crypto is not cryptocurrency
100% agreed. Also I hate lmgtfy links which they used on this page.
derimagia··on Comcast is injecting 400+ lines of JavaScript into web pages
They could but because of HSTS (https://blog.stackpath.com/glossary/hsts/) which would largely mitigate it. They have a preload list in browsers too. But if a site wasn't using HSTS then yeah they could do that. I don't think that's better per-se.
derimagia··on Comcast is injecting 400+ lines of JavaScript into web pages
Yeah that's correct, they can't do it in https unless they did something with root certs, which would be 1000x more messed up (And that's saying a lot because this is already pretty despicable). At any rate if they were doing that browsers would revoke the CA.
derimagia··on Yelp Wi-Fi
Yeah sounds like marking as spam and then unsubscribing is the way to go.
derimagia··on Cortana is really bad
I've been trying out Listery (http://www.listary.com/) which is the best thing to Alfred on Windows I can find. Like an updated Launchy.
derimagia··on Minecase – A distributed Minecraft server in .NET Core
"World Persistence" too. Although to me it's pretty useless without mod support which would be very difficult to do since Forge/Mods are all java obviously.

But a neat side project. Wish them luck.

derimagia··on Why would anyone choose Docker over fat binaries?
This would copy the runtime for every app you need.. Pretty sure if you used docker this wouldn't be the case but I'm 100% sure. Obviously space isn't the biggest of deals, just mentioning it.
derimagia··on US telcos appear to be selling non-anonymized access to consumer telephone data
They aren't not talking about cell towers like the article mentions. They said GPS.
derimagia··on It’s time to give Firefox another chance
Not really a reason to switch to Firefox, it's more not a reason not to switch to it - Chrome has had it for ages. Still good that they have it though!
derimagia··on iTerm2: Please disable 'Perform DNS lookups to check if URLs are valid'
Yep was already fixed: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/dnslookupissue
derimagia··on Don't use Git rebase
git rebase gives that just fine, even demonstrated here: https://git-scm.com/blog/2010/03/08/rerere.html.
derimagia··on Apple Watch 3
I have AirPods and don't have an iPhone, they work with other devices with Bluetooth just fine.
derimagia··on Vagrant 2.0
You can get close but as someone else said, they are mean't to be processes. You can get more control with Vagrant for a lot of things and have actual VMs.
derimagia··on Vagrant 2.0
Removing features could itself cause issues, and when you put that with adding new features/backwards 2.0.0 releases are almost never as "rock solid" as a 1.0.0 with a bunch of minor/patch versions as long as you're using semver.
derimagia··on No Man’s Sky One Year Later
Regarding preordering - If you're talking monetary value it's of course accurate but I'm sure tons of people were insanely excited for the game. When it turns out to be different, it doesn't matter as much that they lost money but that they had their hopes up for nothing.
derimagia··on An update on the state of the Reddit repositories
You can solve that by having feature branches and not promises repos to be up to date. I mean saying it trails even 6 months or more behind is a lot better than nothing.
derimagia··on iOS 11 Safari will automatically strip AMP links from shared URLs
https://twitter.com/viticci/status/900418370025246721
derimagia··on China’s Bitmain dominates Bitcoin mining, wants to cash in on AI
They could mine it and still sell it, so it wouldn't be 90-10
derimagia··on Hype or Not? Some Perspective on OpenAI’s DotA 2 Bot
Well, almost all of them did the same strategy - I'm curious once the first few "strategies" how many people will be able to beat it.
derimagia··on OpenAI at the Dota 2 World Championships
Yep it's called Drafting
derimagia··on Npm v5.1.0 Released
This is a good time to look at npm again and compare. I will not say one is better than the other, but npm v5 has a lot of improvements and addresses most of the reasons why yarn existed to begin with.
derimagia··on Old usenet maps
Now a days at least there are apps to do this. There's https://monodraw.helftone.com/ for example, although I never used it.
derimagia··on Slack Said to Draw Interest from Amazon
5% of the US population seems very large to me if that's right... They make a lot more money than something like facebook per user - even though we don't know how many organizations are paid vs free.
derimagia··on Slack Said to Draw Interest from Amazon
Just because the chat sends instantly doesn't mean you have to reply instantly. I think that's a poor reason to stay away from a service like Slack
