I'm not sure how requiring an explicit change from private to public would create an undue burden, also it would most likely reduce the potential harm that certainly comes from unintentionally publicly sharing something.

Assuming a particular number of users are going to be too stupid, careless or rushed to set the privacy option, I think I'd err on the side of caution. What's worse: Not having the document available to all, but accessible by the link? or having the document available to all and the link unwittingly?

It is of course the users fault, but that doesn't mean the devs can't take extra steps when a flaw is pointed out.
Whatever you might think about their streaming listings, their DVD listings still contain virtually everything, and they stay there indefinitely. And yet I hear that their DVD business is hemorrhaging cash and has numbered days.

This DVD business is the only place I am aware of for renting a great many movies. RedBox has very limited offerings. If it ever does fold, consider that for movies that don't appear in anyone's streaming catalog or a catalog you subscribe to, the only other (legal) option you'll have is to buy the DVD somewhere.

I don't know what things will look like in 10 years technologically, but if the Netflix DVD business ever goes away, there will be movies that are permanently inaccessible for rental.

I'm reading through the support messages that were posted. Where exactly did they say they wouldn't refund the customer? It was an assumption made by the author that since they didn't ask for the money back from the driver, the customer wouldn't get a refund. It is possible that Uber ate the difference, rather than ask for money back from the driver.

2GBytes/second as RAM is as good as DDR1 memory.

So take a CPU with more memory channels on it, run at least 1 Optane per channel, run hundreds of VMs on it, everything runs from this slower RAM, but it is in memory and you only touch the SSDs for updating the disk. Once the cache is warmed up performance should be just fine.

The problem with supporting APFS and HFS+ at the same time is that FileVault and Time Machine need to be very different on APFS.

FileVault can take advantage of the transparent encryption feature of APFS and TimeMachine can simply backup a snapshot of the file system.

I don't know if Apple (who likes to drop things) will support both concepts.

Also the reason why I assume that APFS will be coming to macOS in the next major release and not in a point release.
> A sane and well person would not jeopardize themselves, and their fellow species.

Sane (by the usual definition, though it's possible you are using an unusual definition of your own) people jeopardize themselves to harm other members of the species all the time.

In fact, societies tend to have organized groups of people who are expected to do this when the targets are enemies of the group, and who are honored for it; they also not infrequently honor people who independently do it against people theor society has decided are "the enemy".
That is correct. You have to unregister yourself and remove that beta profile.

You can't both use iptables and have access to host network interfaces (as an unprivileged user), if that's what you mean. You can either create a network namespace and manage network interfaces (but not have a bridge to the host) or just deal with what access you're given. In the future my plan is to write a CNI plugin that implements pseudo-bridges in userspace so that you could get both (though I'm not sure if it'll work at the moment).

But if you're an administrator you can restrict it like any other process.
I wonder if he could benefit from John Nash's accept and self-monitor approach to his own illness (strikingly similar to modern "ACT" therapy -- the meditative / mindful aspect of it might even jive with channeling his religious energy).

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jun/02/dont-use-joh...

> Whether the rumours are true, I can’t say, but what’s certain is that the truth of Nash’s experience, the way in which he struggled and ultimately succeeded in using the power of his rational mind to overcome his delusional thinking, was replaced with a straightforward lie. And whatever the rationale behind it, the wholly disingenuous use of Nash’s recovery to promote the use of anti-psychotics is to my mind unconscionable.

I think in the coming decades we'll come to see the excessive use of long-term psychiatric medication as barbaric as we now understand the use of therapeutic lobotomies in centuries past to be.

No, by default rust production builds run without memory safety turned on.

Edit: I believe I confused rust with another language.
I would argue that humans are quite easy to hack although perhaps not in the way you were thinking. Our perceptions are quite easily and reliably hacked even when we know it is happening, as demonstrated by the success of stage magic and optical illusions[1]. At one point, there was a great deal of fear that companies and adversaries could influence large groups of people with subliminal messages[2]. Although the efficacy of these techniques are somewhat in doubt, on a more mundane level, most people are used to attempts by advertisers and marketers to subvert our desires and preferences to buy certain products. A great deal of research and money has been spent on essentially hacking our desires and exploiting our brain's response to intermittent reward and social cues. This has brought us product placement in movies, celebrity endorsements and video games that produce changes in the brain not much different from those found in drug addicts. Scientists have engineered fast food to exploit our evolutionary desire for sugars and fats -- something that was good at one point but now serves only to make us and fast food executives' wallets fat. I would consider all of these a type of human hacking simply due to the reliability of their effect, if not on an individual level, certainly on groups of people.

An Entrepreneur, a Manager, and a Technician Walk into a Bar…
CIA mind control
LOL this.

I remember a long time ago there was a team that needed some very expensive hardware from sun (think several 100k).

The manager of the group could NOT get approval for the equipment. It was a massive technicality as another department was supposed to buy setup and "run" the equipment and they refused for a number of reasons.

The manager in question figured out that he could sign a PO up to $7000. A large number of PO's later the server was to be delivered.

This, to say the least, was going to be a bigger problem. Though a space had been secured for it (in a server room no less) getting it into the building was going to be an issue.

They ended up bringing it in on a weekend, only to find the freight elevator locked, and the rack it came in unable to fit in the normal elevator for people.

The manager, his team, the sun sales man and the delivery driver took the whole thing to bits in the lobby. There were parts EVERYWHERE and a rather bemused security guard who was baffled as to why this was happening this way.

It all turned out fine in the end, the manager wasn't fired (promoted in fact), the salesman got his commission, and the team got the equipment they needed.

If I were a betting man that driver was a union guy and ended up with time and 1/2 for the insanity on a saturday!
I'd compare runC to LXC as opposed to rkt. It just takes a path and configuration and starts a container, without managing images or networking topologies. rkt is on the same level as cri-o (or containerd) since it also implements image handling as well as other related things.

Also, rkt (by default at least) uses systemd-nspawn to create containers. In runC we have our own implementation called libcontainer.
Consider a young child, maybe 5 or 6, who loves animals very much. Now consider that this child is living in the year 1991 and watching a documentary about Zebras on the National Geographic channel. Now consider that during the course of this show, a Zebra has an unfortunate encounter with a lioness or 5, which the kid never expected and is likely very upset by what they see. Should there now be a nationwide discussion/outrage about how National Geographic portrays nature? Or should parents rethink their parenting habits by actively monitoring what their kids watch on TV, in 1991? Same goes for the Youtube and the Internet in general, why would you let your kid have free reign on either platform knowing the potential for bad content? Maybe if a parent could pre-watch the videos on Youtube before letting their kids watch it to insure its legit, then kids wouldn't be tricked by the fake stuff.

> Chromebooks also have physical keyboards, which is seen as a real-world usability advantage by educators and regulators.

While I agree on this, I see many still prefer the MacBook (certainly if you can afford the price): Chromebooks are much more limited.

That's not fair. The argument you seem to be advocating for is that we can make people happier by reducing scarcity, they are offering you a counter example.

Why's this guy being downvoted? There are plenty of capable people out there that can run a given Muskventure. He's got enough money to spitball an idea, spend a good bit of time hiring the right people, choosing a CEO, and letting it ride. The only issue his it seems like his ideas won't make much money - how can you sell Neuralink when the technology doesn't exist to make it feasible?

But give it 15 years and Neuralink is the only product on the market that allows humans to be relevant in the face of A.I.... Smells like the kind of profits one would have if, for example, they dragged an asteroid to Mars and monopolized water, or weaponized Saturn's orbit and controlled the only port for deep space travel, etc. Seems silly now but guaranteed there's gonna be people wealthy on a scale we've never seen when these starts of things come through.

A BoD usually means a Delaware C corporation, and that usually has some lawyer expenses. May have some founder employee agreements for some more lawyer expenses. And there may be insurance for the board members, e.g., as at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directors_and_officers_liabili...

But really what I meant was that, when there is a BoD meeting, say, monthly or quarterly, the members need funds for travel, food, and lodging, and usually the company pays for those. Just one BoD member flying first class and staying at a high end hotel once a month could eat into a $20,000 seed round in a hurry.

Or, one or a few co-founders, living cheaply, on their own savings, each with a $1000 computer, typing in software can be cheap and where a seed round of $20,000 to $40,000 can do well for Internet fees, publicity, maybe cloud fees. That's what I had in mind.
One of these organizations produces goods and services. The other is, more often than not, just another parasitic middleman.
My sister and I(male) are both engineers, she is a mechanical engineer and has related to me a lot of the difficulties she has faced with this career.

I think engineering is probably worse than CS because there is discrimination from technical as well as non technical peers.

Among non technical peers (Operators, fitters, boilermakers etc) side of things there is a tendency for people to assume female engineers lack physical capabilities I see it out on mine/construction sites etc workers will refuse to let female engineers carry tool bags etc. They won't look twice when I heft a bag full of Stillson wrenches around yet I've seen on occasions they'll almost snatch the bags out of female colleague's hands.

As a male I'm pretty much left to my own devices when I'm out on site the workers assume I'm competent. For females there is a tendency for workers to "hover" they won't trust her ability until she demonstrates it. The culture out on construction sites etc is not really all that female friendly in general. I mentioned it to my sister once and she was pretty dismissive her response was something along the lines of "That's just the way things are they assume I'm just a clueless girl until I prove to them I know what I'm doing".

On the technical side I see it a lot with external clients when they visit the office sometimes they'll do things like assume a female engineer is a secretary.

Most of the diversity efforts are focused on technical side of things around inclusive office culture and things like that. There are not a lot of initiatives targeted towards non technical peers other than very token stuff like "Don't put up pornography in site sheds and crib rooms".

My sister ended up quitting her job at a power plant and works in government now she seems much happier there.
I'm not sure if spectacle has a menubar icon, but I mostly use that as opposed to keyboard shortcuts. Downside, I guess, is that Magnet isn't free but often seems to be "on sale" for 99 cents.
> Ads, in the broadest definition, are not going anywhere, no matter how much we push them into the shadows. As much as I hate being inundated with ads, at least I know that they're ads. Know what I hate even more? When you can't distinguish ads. So the more we tip the scale from explicit advertising, the more we welcome indistinguishable inline, sponsored, content advertising. Where you start asking yourself, are they being paid for this?

There are enough: 1) really good recorded albums, 2) good TV shows, 3) excellent films, 4) great books, 5) fun, engaging, possibly even enriching video games already in existence that I can't possibly get to all of them in a lifetime. If new media gets bad enough I can simply abandon it. Bring it on—it'll be unfortunate, but I'm already on wondering whether the effort of searching for good new media isn't less efficient than mining the past, so it's entirely possible it'll improve my life. Go ahead. I'll tune out.

In context, it is clear that he is referring specifically to the idea of massive structural unemployment rather than the long-standing situation where new technology displaces jobs but people find new ones. I think this can be regarded as pretty mainstream. His AI referent is specifically clarified as not being self-driving cars (he expects) but r2d2 robots that can replace human interviewers (he doesn't expect soon).
I was kind of interested in writing something for the temple (well, okay, I spent a bored afternoon contemplating giving it a go and half heartedly booting vms and reading code ....)

While I can't answer for the OP, my motivation was specifically that this is kind of an alien environment and the challenge involved in even getting to hello world would definately have seen me walk away at the end the better for the exp, even if walking away from those hours without having gained some marketable understanding of framework foo or language bar.

In the end I didn't do that because the code is insanely complicated (all single letter vars) and my downtime is too precious for such masochism currently; I don't think it's too much of a strech to understand why others might be interested though.

I'm glad to live in a world where such an outstanding personal achievement like Terry's OS really is can exist, and that there are people out there prodding at it.

Isn't it cool that we don't always do things for the money?

I dearly hope that none of the recent templeos projects are attempts to antagonize Terry though. He is a profoundly accomplished software engineer and deserves nothing but respect for his technical achievements from us all alongside understanding of the rest of the package.
They really did use better construction, though. Unreinforced opus caementicum (with particular kinds of Italian volcanic ash) can't be built as tall as reinforced OPC, but lasts infinitely longer. Of course, OPC could last longer if it didn't use ferrous reinforcement...

>the colon is an important delimiting character, which makes having hex coded value ambiguous as well

In IPv6 or in Red, you mean?

In IPv6 the colons are there for convenience only, with the rule being that leading zeros can be omitted and that two or more consecutive groups of all zeros can be replaced with ::. You can only have one instance of :: otherwise it would be ambiguous.

For example, the IPv6 address ::1 is actually 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001.

Likewise, 2a03:2880:fffe:c:face:b00c:0:35 is actually 2a03:2880:fffe:000c:face:b00c:0000:0035.

Once an IPv6 address has been expanded to it's full non-abbreviated form you can safely strip it of colons and use the resulting hexadecimal value to uniquely represent that address.

If you were talking about colons in Red and not in IPv6, disregard what I said.
Comparing Reagent to React.js and Vue.js for dynamic tabular data
I'm not sure, but my guess would be stuff like "10x engineers", lionizing certain celebrities, and generally downplaying how much of everything is actually incremental work that is the shared success of a great many different people.

I don't think software-development is unique in that respect though, humans tend to want to take a messy reality and make simpler stories with fewer and simpler characters.
They mention point 1 in the article - essentially this is what the HPC crowd are doing with their static environment that's easier to batch, but they're saying it doesn't work in the Google-type dynamic environment because they have a lots of heterogeneous threads doing slightly different things for different users.

Instruction level parallelism is in nanoseconds, not microseconds, a 2GHz CPU can execute 10000-ish ops across all its execution units in a microsecond. So that's not a bottleneck in processing things that are on the order of microseconds.

It's not about the CPU being a bottleneck at all. It's about not having your CPU either sit idle for that time in which it could have done 10,000-ish ops, or spend that amount of time running scheduler code that is pure overhead.

The idea is millions of threads (across your whole compute environment, not one machine!) that are each doing compute/usec-latency-io/compute/usec-latency-io/... and scheduling those to make efficient use of your CPU resources. Coupling each usec-latency-io request with a heavyweight reschedule that's on the same order of magnitude is clearly not efficient, and neither is spinning for that time in which your CPU could have been doing a quantum of useful work.

It seems we're trying to "backsplain" why something that wasn't designed to be a real time system isn't behaving like a real time system.

This is going down the wrong path - the issue at hand isn't about real-time latency at all. The reason rescheduling to wait for this kind of IO isn't a good solution isn't because of latency introduced, it's because you might end up wasting 50% or more of your CPU time just running scheduler code - it's purely efficiency.

Use different hardware, e.g. historically DSP vs. general purpose CPUs.

This is also covered in the article, the whole idea is for this to be workable by mere-mortal programmers on general purpose platforms.
