   If you can guarantee that the ship can be routinely filled to capacity, it's almost always economical to build the biggest ship you can. These things are often built to the maximum size that will fit into the canal that they transit. I

   I assume the ship had a pilot from the canal authority which should absolve the shipping company from liability. There's another thread about a private sailboat transiting the canal and it mentioned several pilot changeovers; I have to

   There was a single dev response to your bug and it was the above solution. Your phrasing and tone are quite harsh as others in that bug commented and seemingly agreed by the community judging by the fact you got more thumbs down reactions t

   You should read your own bug report for the way to disable auto-updates: either use the portable version or set the ELECTRON_NO_UPDATER=1 environment variable.

   I maintain a JavaScript hashing library and the language's handling of large integers is terrible. SHA-256/SHA-384/SHA-512 as well as SHA-3 all use 64-bit primitives so I need to do some hacks to emulate a 64-bit integer. B

   I agree I wish they had more detail about the exceptions. I've been a FPI user for years as a best-effort to reign in tracking but there are a common few sites that just break with FPI (50% of the time PayPal checkout doesn't work

   I regularly push money into my TransferWise USD account from another USD account and they supposedly added direct debit support about a year ago.

    Please do not bring the American healthcare mentality to a product that is needed by literally everyone. The minute people can spend 5x to get the vaccine means that people will need to spend 5x to get the vaccine.

    kaniko is great but doesn't have feature parity with native docker build. Notably kaniko is missing everything related to BuildKit.

    I've had my own run-ins with issues surrounding trying to use Cryptography and hitting compile troubles. A few months back I made a source distribution (sdist) of an internal Python module using Poetry and tried building an Alpine-bas

    I recently discovered that systemd supports drop-in config files so I'd recommend putting the changed settings into something like /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/disable-stub.conf. That way your package manager isn&#

    There still appears to be some confusion but, from what I read, FPI is a superset of this partitioning stuff: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/930

    I agree with you 100% about Snaps. I only brought them up because one of the common complaints is that the Snap server is not open source. This is why it's weird to me that FOSS supporters would push potential Debian users to Ubuntu w

    Ubuntu has a checkbox to install non-free codecs, I'm forgetting if that also includes non-free firmware. With all the hate directed at Ubuntu 20.04 (mostly about Snaps), I don't know why saying "just use Ubuntu if you use wi

    I feel like distributing the non-free firmware on the installation media but only installing it with user confirmation (they can even have a short pop-up disclaimer about non-free software) is an easy compromise. The open source purists sti

    I believe you're talking about a hypothetical but are you saying that the E2E crypto in Signal is flawed and therefore useful as a NSA honeypot? We've seen from previous subpoena that Signal really only does retain the limited dat

    I was actually thinking about this before I posted and discounted email. It has high interoperability but you cannot move your email address to a different provider if you didn't opt to use a domain you owned. This is obvious when you

    At least on Android, there is a local backup option although you need to manually pull it off the device. I get what you're saying about chat/moderation tools. For some reason I limit my view of Signal to groups of people I actual

    I should have stated in my original post that there are a lot of features that Signal could add/improve on; my post was meant to be commentary about the implementation critiques levied against Signal. Your only point I disagree with is

    You don't need to trust the server with E2E encryption. If you can review and trust the client, the server only has access to the information that the client sends. Even if they release up-to-date server code, we have no way to confir

    I understand what you're saying but I don't know if calling it vendor lock in is quite correct. You can export your list of messages out of Signal and presumably import them to whenever you motivated to do so. Your friends could t

    I feel like Signal is held to a ridiculously high bar when it comes to anything. Is it perfect? No. But come on now; I see other threads on HN where people are debating/bashing their use of Intel SGX, really? Assuming you trust the cli

    This is a dishonest comparison. A more appropriate analogy would be you were deliberately trying to run someone over with your car and you ended up hitting a pregnant woman as well. Then your defense is "I'm not a monster, of cour
