or the hundreds of ARM manufacturers that take a more passive route of not caring about user freedom?

I think ARM SoCs are even worse. Try finding a full (or just partial) datasheet/technical documentation for anything like the ones used in recent smartphones and tablets, for example. They are going to want a NDA. The only ones publicly available were leaked. They also differ significantly between each other and often even within the same model line, so it's nothing like a PC where a lot of things still remain relatively standard.

ARM also has TrustZone, their DRM technology of which there is almost no public documentation.
Yeah, RDP is a damn powerful remote work solution. If you don't care too much about cost I think it's definitely the way to go.

That sounds strange to fear something purely based on its medical name. Driving is "rarely fatal", and that seems good enough for almost everybody.

premature ventricular contractions are basically extra heart beats that disrupt the normal rythm. If you have the feeling that your heart skips a beat, that's most likely caused by a premature ventricular contraction. It can be caused by heart problems but is in itself apparently harmless.

Speaking as someone who worked fulltime with C# when it was relatively simple in v1/1.1 which was before generics, and Object Pascal/Delphi for many years before then - when generics arrived in C# 2 it was a truly wonderful upgrade.

However the complexity of C# has exploded over the years, and it now lacks in simplicity, where Go shines. Yet I expect adding generics would improve Go as it certainly improved C#.

However the trick is knowing when to stop adding features, and with with the incredible pace of churn in most languages these days, it's a major competitive advantage to just not change the language. And advantage that would complement the simplicity of Go nicely.

(Of course it's theoretically possible for users to not upgrade as the language upgrades, but the reality is when the language changes it fragments the documentation, user base, and overall experience - so the argument for users not to upgrade, is not realistic.)

In chess there is the concept of a zugzwang, a situation where it's actually a dis-advantage to make a move. There's lots of other kitchen sink languages these days, Go may be best to keep building on the strength of it's simplicity, by simply not changing.
I'm not really a fan of the term because it covers a huge variety of people and the most vocal ones are working here and there and largely just prioritizing the idealized "digital nomad life".

Then there are people, like you said, who are renting apartments for weeks/months, prioritizing quiet work spaces, and often continuing to hold full time jobs.

I'm kind of in this category right now and am certainly never working from the beach. I went to Latin America so I could find apartments with good internet and continue to work in the same timezone that I started out in.

This doesn't seem to be quite the same. A Bitcoin fork is more like somehow giving everyone who holds dollars an equal number of jstanleytokens, and jstanleytokens can be passed around just like dollars and are still hard to counterfeit. My wallet with $50 in it now has $50 and 50 jstanleytokens. The corner store may not sell me a soda in exchange for jstanleytokens, so you haven't exactly increased the number of dollars in circulation, but it seems to me that you've done something that will have significant effects.

You say this but modern historians are desperate for these kind of sources even back a few hundred years since they provide an understanding of how the vast majority of humanity lived unlike the few royals (for example) whose lives were well documented.

It's unlikely historians of the future will lack sources in the way we do today but you never know what people will wonder about our times because we didn't think anyone would care.

I implemented a system similar to this, where callers would be automatically given an explanation of not wanting to be called. After that they were put on a direct line with Rick Astley’s best hit.

I think he should just go on with his research and don’t bother with understanding every obscure reference in papers. One can grasp the core ideas surprisingly well even when skipping over proofs and formulas.

And when the time comes to write his own papers, he should remember to intentionally make it harder to read for outsiders. E.g. instead of writing “I calculated the total error by summing the per-neuron errors”, one should write “the loss function utilized an integral over the output lattice using a discretized method by Newton et. al.”, or some other bullshit.
And to clarify further: Normal activity with no coffee (or caffeine?) represents the common risk factor “1.0” as the control group. People who claim to totally avoid this psychoactive stimulant (but naming brewed coffee specifically), and are otherwise typical, have this risk level.

The study links improved health and coffee, with its statistics. People drinking a handful of 8 oz. cups of coffee (black? light and sweet?) seem to do better, having somewhat healthier hearts with less disease, than the control group of consumers of exclusively non-caffeinated substances (naming brewed coffee specifically). Coffee drinkers do best when consuming 24 to 40 fluid ounces of brewed coffee, distributed throughout waking hours, with the range of optimum quantities likely varying based on body weight.

According to this research, excessive drinking of coffee at 80 ounces (or more?) is as bad (or worse?) than drinking none at all. The research examines 1,279,804 participants and 36,352 heart disease cases.

So obviously in cases of personnel threats you need different controls.

On HSM setups I've seen the keys are under dual-control (i.e. two different people have half the key and in the event that it needs re-entered, both have to enter their keys independently), along with other general controls (hiring background checks etc)

That's not to say it's impossible, just there are controls in place.

Now in all this I'm not trying to suggest that bank security is perfect, it's obviously not, but that particular concerns about password strength and threats of attack on this could be misplaced, due to lack of understanding of the controls in place.

I don't think any competent senior engineer would say that backups are too expensive without looking at the actual cost first.

Your example doesn't work though - using someone's laptop is likely not secure, reliable, and definitely not appropriate for any compliant data. It really doesn't meet the actual requirements of a true backup.

My backups sit on disks that supports disaster recovery, are proven to be reliable, and meet all compliance requirements for the data we store.

Normally, yes. However, something on that page concerns me:

"Jessie and Stretch backports of Firefox release and beta are gone because of the requirement of rust to build them, which is not available in Jessie or Stretch. Please update your apt sources to use Firefox ESR instead."

I'm not sure how that Rust requirement and ESR 59 will play together; I'll assume they won't play together very well.

> The paper looks at corporate and income tax but completely ignores sales tax, so it treats Oregon as being the highest tax state (with a 9.1% income tax rate, 0 sales tax) while a state like Texas is treated as a 0% income tax state when it has an 8.25% sales tax rate for major urban areas.

Point taken, but, there's a practical limit to how much a high earner can buy and thereby pay sales tax, but there's relatively less limit to how much a high earner can earn and thereby pay income tax. Kind of like shorting stock.

To say it another way, you can choose to limit your purchases, but you're highly unlikely to forgo income.

Orthoganally, both taxes greatly impact low earners, since most or all such wages must be spent. Sales tax impacts high earners much less than income tax.

Frankly, I had no idea the humidity was that high in Arizona! Color me impressed.
Fair enough, in that case.

However a common situation is that the language is supporting a wide range of uses, not just the use a particular developer has in mind at the time.

I've seen this most commonly where a developer operating at a higher level of abstraction, without understanding low level details, complains that the language doesn't match his high level needs exactly.

When in fact it supports lower level operations for maximum performance or flexibility, while allowing layering on top for higher level uses. In language design it's essential to support the lowest level use cases you are targeting, because you can build on top but not go lower than the language exposes (unless it supports embedded asm or another trick to go lower again). I'm using higher/lower here only to refer in the sense of the level of abstraction.

It's a really common trap for someone working usually at one level of abstraction and not deeply understand other levels, to not understanding why a language or library is the way it is because if needs to support others users needs that are different to ones own - I've done it myself enough to detect the pattern, and seen lots of other people do it. Lurking on design committee discussions can be eye opening!
> "The paper looks at corporate and income tax but completely ignores sales tax..."

Good point. But I would take it a step further. It's all taxes. For example, tax on energy, gasoline, etc., or property taxes.

The state and local govs require revenue. To think these entities exist but don't require revenue is simplistic, if not naive. Regardless of what form it takes, a tax is a tax is a tax.

For the sake of transparency, simplicity and efficiency (i.e., each tax has some infrastructure to implement it, police it, etc.) we'd be best served with a single trackable tax. As it is, we get nickled and dimed without realizing it. What's worse we (thr people) can't "manage" and can't hold accountable that which we can't identify.
