Why the title change?


They didn't for me - it meant my SO would wake me up after they'd been woken up.

I then started wearing headphones to bed so that I would hear the phone ring and not disturb them, but when you're rolling out of bed and hopping on a call at 3AM it's difficult.

What I seriously underestimated was the strain that being on-call can put on a relationship, it's a massive regret.


You’d assume so, but this is in fact false. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue–green_distinction_in_la...


That doesn't really support your contention. The color naming debate underlying the entire discussion is primarily focused on basic color terminology, for which colors that are merely allusions to a physical object (e.g., turquoise, gold, lavender) are excluded. But that doesn't tell you what terminology people will actually reach for in description. Japanese, for example, uses "ao" to refer to essentially the entire blue/green spectrum, but "midori" (lit. "leaf") is used to green, increasingly to the exclusion of "ao" in modern Japanese (side note: this is literally an example, explicitly mentioned in your reference, of what the GP is suggesting happens).


As far as I can tell all that articles says is that there are languages that use a single term for green/blue, not that speakers of those languages are incapable of identifying the difference between the colour of a leaf and the color of the sky. I can distinguish between the colour of the sky and the colour of blueberries (and treat them as categories of colours) even if I use the same word "blue" for both.


Looks fantastic! Could this be made available in the Canadian App Store by chance?


I'm the CTO at ad-hoc labs. Thanks for the feedback! We do plan to make Firewall available in the Canadian app store soon. We have to go through the Canadian wireless carriers and build out the support for them one at a time.


Unfortunately quite a bit more complicated on the back end of things when you need to report on it. Both loading a webpage and downloading it have a similar request pattern. Take, for example, a PDF file which loads seamlessly in Chrome.

If this is something you can currently distinguish, I’d be very interested in hearing more!


(a) Why do you need to identify it on the backend? Wouldn't someone who's arrested presumably have their laptop confiscated?

(b) Why does something being illegal imply that you have to be able to distinguish it from something legal in every instance? They could just only apply it when they can make a case that it was done in an illegal manner. It's not like we don't already have laws where intention makes a strong difference, despite the fact that you can't always establish intentions.


Just a quick aside here, having not had to deal with Plex support before. Their support email is disabled, and honestly soured me immediately on the handling of this announcement. I realize that this is probably a trend, but emailing someone about an issue I will most likely want to talk about via a no reply address, then responding as follows is sure to run many the wrong way as I under no circumstances would like to join your forum:

As much as we would love to talk to every single one of our users, we are simply unable to provide one-on-one support via email.

You might have a hard time avoiding both.


I can't agree more - I'm a huge proponent for star rating systems. I get that they are perhaps more complicated than a Boolean value, but they help me out personally.

I miss the days of "tap tap scroll four clicks" on the iPod to help me rate new music, specifically.


Interesting info, but I find it odd that none of the photo sources are credited.


Riak and MySQL are in Universe, for example: https://github.com/mesosphere/universe/tree/version-3.x/repo...
