Still annoyed that PowerShell didn't follow POSIX standard for arguments, at a time when MS was working hard on open-source compatibility.
That's not really comforting to the minority people whose lives were ruined by them.
The one thing I'm confident in predicting is that things won't be as they were.

To what extent is impossible to say right now.
Centrally generated nuclear power with batteries at the point of use is the safest and cleanest tech that we have.

The state of biofuel today leaves a lot to be desired as far as the ability to scale without causing other environmental disasters, and many of them aren't even carbon neutral.

As for nuclear cargo ships -- I'd love to see them, but the liability and political hurdles are insane. You'd probably need a really big carbon tax before we'd see them.
Soccer clubs are arranging matchups between pro players who now have no real matches to play. Could be a big thing for eSports.

It's well known that a lot of pro soccer players spend a lot of time on consoles, to the point where they complain if they feel their virtual stats are too low.
I've seen the Philadelphia versus St. Louis response, and I guess that may have informed a couple of decisions. But I think we already knew large gatherings are bad when a pandemic is afoot.

Any other examples?
If you're serious about picking up the language, I urge you to simply start building something. Build something you can relate with, something similar that you've already built with a different toolset. Like a web server.

A lot of the fancy abstractions don't make sense until you have a problem where you'll actually need them. Artificial problems, like some algorithmic assignments in books just don't click nearly as well to many of us.
It is nothing like the pop ups and pop unders of yore but still, you pay a license to use the operating system. There should be zero ads.
Update you. Qt has been LGPL many years.
>Some people are focusing on designing quickly mass-productible respirators

It only takes a couple seconds to buy an index-tracking ETF on your phone these days, I don't think this optimism is competing for time with ventilator production.
> So Macs are out of question... Can't be signed can they?

... you know that even Apple ships some GPL software on every Mac right ? GPL is 100% fine mac hardware. There are even GPL apps on the appstore. Signing does not prevent you to upload a new version of the app to your own device.
We can disagree on both points. I'm making the effort to defend people who do real work (brew devs) vs an entitled vocal minority. Time is the ultimate non-renewable resource, and it shouldn't be wasted by grandstanders.

User hostile patterns should be raised and addressed. This is not user hostile in my opinion (considering the very little data collected, and the efforts to anonymize), it is plainly obvious what data is collected, you can observe what data will be sent, you can opt out of data collection (which the devs find of value), and you can choose not to use the software.

It has clearly not had an impact on usage of the tool:

Haha! That's exciting to see something like that shared across industries. I use it for medical health records to ensure we track every single change and know when something changed. Pairs really nicely with dynamodb in aws.
Way, way, way back in the day there was a tool called Simba and a search engine that you could use to find tons of music, etc. that would open download links in the Simba app. Turns out, that was just an SMB client connecting to open Windows shares.
I'm sure i sound like a luddite but why does anyone need a 65" screen.
Sounds interesting! I'm interested to hear more, if you manage to dig it up.
If you take the opposite line, that Facebook is responsible for checking that the product is sold legally, then the conclusion is that Facebook would have to confirm legal ownership of every product before allowing a sale.

This also seems wrong.

The right solution is in the middle: Facebook should spend some effort validating the legality of the sale. The required standard of effort should depend on how much money Facebook is making from the ads, and on an estimate of the proportion of products sold illegally, amongst other things. The former to ensure that a very small similar website is not held to the same standard, the latter to ensure that if 99% of the products are sold illegally then Facebook is responsible.

Without knowing the total volume of these land ads and the proportion of illegal ones, it is hard to tell if there is anything to fix here.
Generally lauded as a bad movie does not make The Room bad art.

Have you seen the film at a sold out crowd at cinema 21 in Portland?

There is a culture of the film and its participating attendees Marvel movies do not match.

You can say it is a bad film or you can say you don’t like that it doesn’t fit with your idea of what makes a movie objectively good. But it is absolutely not bad art.

Bad art is all around us. But it is not The Room.
What’s surprising is how it’s kept up through subsequent waves of immigration. My dad is an immigrant from Bangladesh, votes straight ticket Democrat, but thinks Biden’s “no tax increases for people making less than $400,000 policy” is totally sensible.
This seems more useful if re-framed as "Why pulling data you won't use is bad for performance."

SELECT * seems like a strawman to me. I don't often see it in the wild anymore. But pulling more columns than you need is extremely common; it happens in every codebase I've ever seen. I habitually do it myself. More-or-less every time I choose to re-use a single function for retrieving data in several places. Because then the function needs to get the union of all the columns that all the callers need.

Which may be a reasonable trade-off. There's almost always a need to strike a balance between maintainability and performance. But it's also nice to have occasional reminders to re-assess what you've been doing. This particular practice tends to have a particularly high cost, and one that, depending on how you configure your environments, may be much larger in production than it is in development or CI.
Isn't that similar to how skiing lifts work?
Although it isn't anything new, it's v good to still work with this idea, coz education shouldn't be limited by money...
I haven't read the rest of the article, but I got to that phrase and my disposition instantly turned from "huh, this is interesting" to "snake oil", whether deserved or not.

Reminds me of the recent "One weird trick!" article [0] and lines like, "the simple solution dietitians don't want you to know!"

Content aside, that kind of thing immediately sets off alarms for me.

Just being practical.
TheVerge took the same approach:

Disappointing. Microsoft has no real argument here, other than perhaps allowing the NSA to use the bug for longer [1]. This is why the NSA has no need for real Windows backdoors. There are plenty of vulnerabilities such as these in Windows that allow privilege escalation or remote execution that are being discovered all the time. All Microsoft has to do is sit back for a few months on them, wait until another one appears, so NSA can start using that one and then fix the old one. "Everyone" wins.

Google gave everyone (only a few big companies actually - everyone else got the "full disclosure" deal) only a week after discovering Heartbleed, and Microsoft is whining about 3 months being too little? Give me a break.

This way you only understand your spikes. Why I have a dip on Christmas? I did something wrong or it is just how internet works?

I've had some issues with the Austin REPL however

I've switched to using the Weasel[1] REPL instead and haven't had any disconnect problems since. Its also a little easier to setup (although still not "easy").

AFAICT, the project zero team is about hunting down bugs and disclosing them responsibly.[1] They occasionally do write-ups on the project zero blog, after the vuln has gone public, but without actually giving out "kiddies-ready expoits", i.e. exploit source.

But even if they did, that still isn't a "questionable practice" - if the full details of the exploit are public, you'd barely need a writeup to connect the dots.

> Even if patches were available, it would be far better to wait for most devices to be patched before releasing a full exploit.

So, for router exploits (say), that would be Infinity? If the manufacturer doesn't care, or the update ecosystem is broken (or nonexistent), nobody is more secure because someone did a writeup about a vuln that everyone (..interested) knows about.

Most exploits, however complex their discovery process may have been, end up as "send these bytes in this order" - they are usually very simple to duplicate once you know where the bodies are buried.

[1] As the GP says, 90 days is responsible disclosure.
Dan and other indie developers talk a lot about the importance of doing your own marketing, even if you are in the App Store. And they also underline how being listed in the App Store isn’t close to the results of proper marketing.

Something else worth mentioning; SSH has built-in support for single-sign-on, via SSH agent forwarding. As long as my public key is available anywhere (and that's exactly what it's designed for), then I can be authenticated by any system, anywhere. Thus, a problem which is so vexing in so many other scenarios, is very cleanly addressed by SSH.

Fundamentally, a password is a shared secret. So you send your password to a server, you are trusting that server not to lose or misplace it. In contrast, an SSH public key doesn't require nearly such careful management.
Basically the same thing, less formal, more diffuse, and self inflicted.

>But even then, it is better to have them within, collaborating on their terms, than to leave them outside, in which case it would be even harder to get any information out of them.

I tend to agree with this sentiment, however I'm always on the fence as to if acting on no new information is better than acting on false or misleading information. If you can't trust the source the data is almost worthless. Anyways, that's for self reported information. Getting any direct access to gather independent information I'd say is nearly always valuable unless it's also targeted with disinformation campaigns.

think about it this way. you have a bunch of technically unsavvy people, because they have been working in government contracts forever. now you come along, and say hey i could build this for you for much less money, and much better.

how in the heavens would he know that you can deliver? you'll choose the one you'll know at least. and since he has documents to back him up(mcse, mcsa, he might have worked for microsoft for a while). he's the obvious choice.

i worked for the government in healthcare for a while. these are not intentionally malicious people. hell, they even want to make it better, but it's a combination of regulation(bidding system that favors friends), lack of knowledge, and a little bit of ignorance.

but if you want more details feel free to ask. it was kind of fun to see a corruption case close up.
Yes, about one third I interview can't FizzBuzz (thank god for http://typewith.me/ )
I understand the asynchronous part and the advantages associated with it, but what baffles me is that at the operating system level how do they work? If it has to do something asynchronously should it not be mapped to OS threads and if so how do they have a performance advantage over things like Apache which make use of threads directly?
So what would be an example of a situation that cannot be dealt with under current laws?

I read them as sloppy caricatures that provide little value to the conversation.

Let's take the security guard: "The only problem is: he now provides literally no value. He’s excluded by fiat the possibility of ever being useful in any way. He could be losslessly replaced by a rock with the words “THERE ARE NO ROBBERS” on it."

That is blatantly not true, the guard provide value since the wanna-be robbers don't know whether the guard will be of any value, and a rock could not provide any deterrent. Losslessly?

The doctor (if there is someone skeptical of doctors it is me, if I were less lazy I would have greatly enjoyed fighting to make some useless US dermatologists lose their license): "Her heuristic is right 99.9% of the time, but she provides literally no value. There is no point to her existence. She could be profitably replaced with a rock saying “IT’S NOTHING, TAKE TWO ASPIRIN AND WAIT FOR IT TO GO AWAY”.

This is an unhelpful caricature, too, because if we add "and call back if it does not", it looks like a very reasonable approach.

Un-nuanced and quite sloppy presentation of heuristics.
> . I've seen too many 'smart people' drop in and do a bunch of fancy stuff that no one understands before leaving again because they're 'smarter' than everyone else.

Eh, they are not really 'smart' now, are they?

Sure, they may be mathematically gifted or what have you. But if your definition of 'smart' includes the individual's performance when responding to their world around they, they definitely were not :)

The 'smartest' (according to my own definitions and biases) developer I know also happened to write the most beautiful and easy to understand code. He could write clever one-liners. He knew better not to.
The Texas grid had similar issues in 1989 and very little was done to fix the issues. If the rumors I have heard are true then Texas lost the new Intel fab in large part because of the unreliable power grid.
working on a similar concept - though with less a focus on 3D and more on 2.5D storytelling and world building.

it's been a lot of learning, but so far it's been a great experience. I was thinking of building atop matrix or similar.

Building the tools at the moment to speed up content development because that's what has been slowing me down.

The implications of this is beyond calamitous. This is why Disney+ and Fortnite logins were hijacked in the first place. I can harvest all these JWT logins with a good chance of people forgetting to ever logout. Hence this, with one push of a button I can abuse an API endpoint to mass delete everybody or what not. Best part about JWTs? They are unencrypted by default.

For that reason, Just do not use JWTs.

If it's not, there's not much future for them. It's not even about mobile devices, but cross-platform compatibility. That's the biggest driver of Google Docs. Not that it's mobile friendly (although that helps), not that it runs in a browser (although that helps), but that it runs basically anywhere, and offers the same experience basically anywhere.

Even in enterprises, BYOD, VDI, and mobile devices are becoming a lot more popular. All it takes is one exec who says "this doesn't work on my preferred machine" and that whole product is axed from the entire company.

Getting OO/LO working online/mobile would be a big challenge for an open source team to undertake but I'd hate to see them fade away and lose an open source option.

I've never seen commodity used to refer to products from the same range, from the same manufacturer. Basically, you've just claimed that anthying that isn't a hand-made one-off creation is a commodity, massively weakening its actual meaning which you're supposed to be defending from misuse.

Commodity isn't a totally binary state, even with fuel or coffee you get variations in quality and brand. It's just that these factors do not dominate. At the other end of the scale Apple is trying very hard to stop iPhones becoming commodities by stopping cross platform Flash apps, not allowing access to iTunes etc. which prevents similar devices from other manufacturers being swapped in without disruption. Saying you want to move your complements down the scale towards being a commodity doesn't imply that they will end up at the extreme, just that they'll have less market power over you, the definition of commodity often being given as an item being sold or bought at a market rate.

Recipes are not copyright-able.. so technically the Wordpress recipe site I made my mother is also open-source. The website uses zero custom code and was very quick to assemble from open-source components.

I think the labor has also required less skill over time or at least compared to other companies. Google has very uniform custom hardware. Usually they only produce a few configurations of a particular platform at any time, and there may only be 1 or 2 platforms in a building. They build the racks in assembly lines before they are shipped to datacenters. Software detects problems with hardware, often diagnoses the issue automatically, and schedules it for service.

I think they even used to have a patched kernel that would disable faulty RAM so that they wouldn't have to replace single DIMMs.

I think it follows a common pattern of replacing medium skilled labor with low skilled laborers augmented with very few high skilled laborers.

Also the biggest DCs are in low cost-of-living/cost-of-labor areas. E.g. South Carolina, Iowa, and Oklahoma have the federal minimum wage ($7.25).
The thing about it, I think, it that it is very _simple_, in terms of the primitives it gives you, but it wants you to do things differently than you're probably used to.

I made a comment above, which got downvoted, but, I'll try to explain a bit more. Looking at tailblocks site ... it's just html/css (verbose tailwind). Having lots of markup for input boxes that don't have any affordance for validation states, aria tags - that's a lot of code in those example blocks that still forces me to have to add lots more stuff to get some basic interaction functionality that's already provided by other toolkits (which, again, all use a common base and therefor all are styled similarly without the need for a lot of boilerplate css).

Someone posted above that tailwindui(?) will be providing react and vue components - that may be worth investigating later. Possibly too late for some current projects, but I'll keep an eye out.
