I was about to move the family emails from Google Apps to Protonmail.

That's before I discovered that it'll cost me 300 € per year.

Are there any alternatives that provides the same service, with reasonable privacy?

I don't want self driving cars.

I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.

I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.

I want cities that aren't built around cars-as-default. https://twitter.com/socketwench/status/1112417058581557249

#HelloWorld! The Swiss no-log VPN has officially joined the open source, federated social media network. As an organization focused on giving people greater control of their data, we wanted to join a social media network that respects this. We’ll be sharing toots about service updates, new VPN projects, and news on privacy.

I really want Facebook to go bankrupt with all legal processes due their stupid data collection so we can focused on Google stupid data collection.

It's funny how #Systemd invented a completely new logging format and CLI, yet didn't figure out how to store and display the repeating log messages succinctly. I mean a counter-measure against the log floods many applications love to make.
Even #hexdump can do that: when it sees a lot of zeros, it will not print them all but just '*'.

I spent much of the day working around quirks in the #Julia type system: it seems very expressive, but its lack of traits (or equivalent) has made design more difficult than it should be.

I miss #Haskell.

Interactive demo of using Newton's method in the complex plane with a cubic. Its a little slow, any ideas for improvements are welcome:
