    What about latin? less letters, similiar ones unified, and you speak everything as it's written, no weird pronounciation rules.

  4. And the default emoji sets are just moronic on Inside 'Emojigeddon': The Fight Over The Future Of The Unicode Consortium (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 2

    No comment to the tears of joy smiley, i think you cannot fix it. But the default set from whatsapp (which refuses to respect android's emojis) even ruin basic smileys like big grin or laughing. One of the android manufactures had a nice set, not sure which one, one of htc/samsung/lg i think. But iOS and Google both have not so good ones and even twitter (which gets some better) has smileys where the original meaning gets lost.

    seeing ads is not paying. Indeed, it would even be an better option to have a monthly fee than to have mandatory ads.

    They cannot, if they want to ship the Appstore. They even have to place some apps on the homescreen, when they ship with google play. And they can either ship everything or nothing with the google appstore. So they need to comply or make an own thing like amazon.

    But you're thinking about a gun. That's what a filemanager is, if with gui or something like midnight commander. Using raw shell commands is more like working with the explosives than working with the gun. If you choose to use rather low level tools, because they are effective, you agree that you know how to use them.

    And even then you can alias rm to "rm -i". Just DO NOT use "-f" ever, then.

    you cannot escape bad wildcards by just enumberating a few. Put a space on the wrong side of a * and you're fucked.
    But try "set -u" in bash and it will generate an error for uninitalized variables.
    Ansible should do so as well. (and uses double braces like jinja2, not single ones)

  19. Re:Fun thing about TRIM on Man Deletes His Entire Company With One Line of Bad Code (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    nope.
    That's what the controller tells you.

    TRIM says the ssd "you do not need to delete anything, but zero out the block logically". Then the SSD may or may not reuse the block when it needs a new block to write to. Then it will be overwritten. When you try to read it, the ssd will tell you, it's empty, as it has the entry "block x is empty" in its metadata.

    An expert may even restore more from a SSD, because the next block written at this location will be some of the (currently) spare blocks TRIMed some time before, because of wear-leveling. But you need to unplug the SSD and read it without the controller part.

    A shell is not built to prevent you from shooting yourself into the foot. It's built to optimize the aiming, but let's you decide where you aim at.

    But nothing prevents you from using an alias or function in your shell or replace rm by a script, which calls rm.real. You may find yourself at getting the habit to type rm.real all the time. Ask yourself, why people use "-f" all the time. They get used to it, because distros alias "rm" to "rm -i", but "-f" overrides this.

  25. No surprise on Seattle Police Raid Tor-Using Privacy Activists (thestranger.com) · · Score: 1

    There is no surprise, they should have known this. And there is no evil opression going on. See it the other way round: Run a tor node and download cp (without using tor) and you're having the best excuse ever. So they can come even when they know about tor, just to be sure it was the tor node.
    Most tor FAQ have answers about the risks of running a node. The best solution is to run not from your home. Which doesn't neccessarily protect you, as there were cases when homes were raided, while the node kept running in the data center. So it will always be a risk to run a tor node under some ip which is associated with your name.
