@axboe We can make this work with patchwork and pre-filtering for just pull requests, probably. Can you send an RFE to helpdesk@k.o?

Everything I Know About the Tech Industry I Learned From Baseball

by me!
We find wisdom wherever we encounter it. And since I’m at the ballpark a lot of the time, that’s where I get my tech business lessons.

@marcan I see your point, but on the other hand it wouldn't be a full "dry run" if we disable features compared to the real thing. I'll think about it.

@brauner @monsieuricon the biggest problem is that lore is just an aggregator and has read-only access to some of its sources. As such, it has no ability to prevent collisions. This is the main reason behind my push for signing the patches and using the keyring info for authenticity validation.

@hyeyoo You're going to get some angry Scots Whisky drinkers in your comments for putting a bourbon in the same line-up as single malts and calling them all "whiskeys". :)

@vegard I wouldn't call Hyperledger "cryptocurrency" as it's really just a platform for deploying blockchain-backed ledgers (for the small niche where they actually do make sense to use).

I don't know the story behind this, but every time I see that the main bitcoin development list is hosted on lists.linuxfoundation.org, I have a huge WTF moment.

@atjn It's not about rendering -- after all, even markdown/rst is rendered into HTML and displayed using webview. The problem is that HTML+CSS is such a complex standard with such a huge attack surface, that by claiming to support the full standard you're opening up your users to huge security risks both in terms of exploits and in terms of social engineering scams.

Microsoft realized this at some point -- after a couple of years of non-stop vulnerability reports in Outlook, which is why they made a decision to not use MS Explorer to render email, but switched to using the MS Office html rendering engine, which supported only a small subset of full HTML+CSS functionality. I believe, this is largely true to this day -- if you expect your email to render properly in most clients, you can't write it to the full HTML standard, but to the MS Office stripped down set of features.

If you don't believe me that using HTML for email was a bad idea, check your incoming mail and see how many of the "rich messages" have "Email not displaying properly? View it on our website!" link at the very top of their message.

If we were inventing email today, anyone suggesting that we use the full HTML+CSS standards to use as the markup language would be laughed out of the room and never invited back.

This new Slack redesign is great if you hate screen space, clarity, contrast, ease of use, information hierarchy, messages, channels, and communication

I put together a mailing list etiquette page, in case it's useful for newbie posters.

Six months after the CBC and Radio-Canada scaled back its use of the social media site X, the public broadcaster says it will mostly remain off the platform formerly known as Twitter because it doesn't bring in a lot of traffic. https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/cbc-mainly-remains-off-x-citing-low-traffic-six-months-after-scaling-back-presence/article_10695842-3deb-50d0-b624-b4102cd553c2.html
