By the title I thought it was a tree 'tree', with leaves and branches :) those you can find in a forest.

Though nice howto nonetheless :)

Does this include CPU optimizations build options? Or specific cpu instructions still count as 'reproducible'?

"ethically dubious", i consider it criminal; though they probably got some (lawyer written) fine print to say it is not so.

Still my point about the reason for the operator to list the url stands. There is no evidence on that page that says its used in such way, and thats' what reason is mentioned for listing it. And i think that's bad. If he had some proof of network traffic etc, showing tracking via this url, you would not see a comment by me. But stating they explicitly mention something, and its not there... Again could still be used for tracking.. but it certainly doesn't say so.

Usability, thats another topic indeed :) usability, should NEVER compromise quality!

And over years of dealing with many of them, i cannot give them any credit for their quality. Certainly not when i realised, found out, there are only a handful of 'original' source lists. And the rest 95% just blindly copies and appends from others, and never bother to revalidate their own list.

Regardless, this seems to become an endless loop, so lets exit() and i wish all a nice weekend!

The above, plus i did not know about 'rem'. And now i do, thanks for that.

So you would favour blocking all sites and services that do any logging? I suggest you cancel your ISP membership if you really don't want to be logged anywhere.

Basically any sane site owner/operator logs access request to his or her site. Certain security policies like PCI also force parties in payment industry to log everything. Why then don't block PayPal? All credit card processors? If you think logging is the same as tracking.

At least then be consistent about it.

Though this was just a shameless plug by that blocklist operator. The url was the topic, he shows that he is is 'bad ass' and just lists it because it was removed at another party via DMCA (claimed by OP). Then says the site EXPLICITLY mentions it does tracking, while it doesn't show this at all.

Those blacklists have a very few unique parties that actually properly collect and maintain a list of urls. The rest just copies the others. Parties like pi-hole etc don't contribute anything, but integrate and copy years old blacklists of each other and then claim to be some internet saviour. If you really care about the connections you have outgoing, use proper egress filtering. (little snitch like apps e.g.) This way you will filter everything, and not just the list of urls that are known by those list maintainers.

If i was that party i'd consider legal actions. And dont read 'i say it doesnt do tracking', i say it doesnt mention it at all on the site, something the blacklist operator does claim. I prefer people have proper proof before claiming something and blacklisting a party.

So you just list it because it was on another list, without gathering any proof yourself? What a great list you maintain.

Also slightly disappointing you take PayPal donations, if any party is nasty in the ad industry... it is them.

I kind of expected network based tests as reviews.

E.g. throughput, latency, connection setup, encryption strengths, fixed ip address etc etc. This is just a feature compare, where one trusts the vpn provider on their blue eyes, e.g. "No logging or tracking"

I cannot imagine a sane service provider that doesn't have some kind of logging, not of your (in vpn case,) browsing activity itself, but when you connected, what accounts are getting brute forced, etc etc. This is logging too.

damn... didn't expect that, though also not FULLY surprised, but thanks for killing my backup dream :D /jk

hmm interesting, do you still have the domain/url? You could search for it in your history using regex :)

Ah okay, that cashback system doesn't exist here and creditcard usually not used at all. Wondered if it was a loyalty bonus or data sharing.

Not sure why people down vote it? then again who cares.

whats the fine print for your 1-3% cash back? wondered about that. Will you be sharing (allowing the card issuer) to sell meta data of your transactions?

welcome to the world of computing/computers :)

Then again, i swear often i should have become a farmer, though i somehow doubt same principles don't apply there too.

Also for MTAs? That's a bold move :)

Curious about the other language. What other language that doesn't add another layer between the code and system instructions were you thinking about?

Performance/status is more then just black numbers down at the end of the balance.

The status of super popular by huge volumes of people. So in essence yes because he is so cool, hip, and also because he creates/thinks of things that appeal to the mass, and people cannot stop talking about it on birthday parties and events alike.

disclaimer, i drive a 20 yo toyota and own nothing of tesla.

If Musk can keep living on credit based on 'his company status', i am quite sure that netflix will be able too.

Though god knows where that 20 billion debt in the article actually comes from...

bit late, with reading replies, sorry.

hmm i never heard of these games, i'll be checking those, thanks

You really just have one browser installed?

Are you sure the 'we' and 'someone' shouldn't be read as 'I' and you just aren't so good at playing monopoly? :) (just kidding; almost weekend)

Though to be on topic again, are there many board games where the goal isn't to beat the other player by whatever means the rules of the board game allow? From tic-tac-toe to monopoly to card games, there will always be a loser, and if he or she can't handle that, they will cry/tirade.

Good to read you are going to spend some time on it. Because iTerm2 is my favourite on OSX and the different vs terminal.app surprised me quite a bit.

Will you be releasing beta version or users to test or any updates will go to the main release version?

"You can read this article in the next version of Smashing Magazine, completely hosted on Netlify."

No actually quite a few resources are served by third parties.

Initially the title make me think this was about libfuse / Filesystem in Userspace

ah great, thanks!

Neat, enjoyable read for the friday afternoon.

Q: Whats that math/graphing app you have screenshots of?

My brain often cracks on startups like these and particularly listed users/client companies. And it kind of worries me that those companies can't do their own analytics and outsource it to segment or alike.

All they need to do is install some dashboard, data processing tools and think of what data they want to correlate with other data and if that correlation has any interesting meaning.

But of course having your company listed at a hot startup site is simply exposure or marketing too. Maybe those companies don't even use it, they just want their logo to be shown every where on the 'hot' parts of the web.

And having listed on your site that 15.000+ companies trust you? Why do you still need to raise money then? Start charging people if your product has value.

Also as a private citizen can i request at Segment if you are storing, processing or handling my private data (provided by parties i did business with) in anyway?

I sort of missed this in the bit, volume numbers and query times.

better try to use something that hides itself as https traffic; or hard to distinguish from regular https traffic

"but I know they won’t sell my hosting data to third-party advertisers and scammers"

How do you know this for a fact?

I'm agreeing with you, and their own text does too

I quote: "Serverless computing allows you to build and run applications and services without thinking about servers."

Serverless clearly is not serverless.
