I think the Linux desktop works just fine. At times of shrinking desktop usage, the goal should be to preserve what great apps we have (Inkscape, Krita, GIMP, LO, FF, Thunderbird, and hundreds of others), rather than to come up with new grand unified package managers and GUI frameworks that only serve to put additional burden on actual developers of said F/OSS software. It's not that the alternatives are free of problems either. Have you recently used Windows 10? It's total spyware crap and only useful for gaming. What about Apple's laughably limited, and increasingly failing hardware? I think Ubuntu comes as close to a mainstream desktop Linux as it gets. And if you're concerned about becoming dependent on a single vendor, you can switch to Debian, or merge Ubuntu packages into Debian, or use Devuan, etc.
Your best bet with Mac OS X virtual machines is giving it a dedicated gpu using pcie passthrough with linux as the host.
Yes, this is definitely a thing. Very modern too.

Indeed I had a whole section on what people brag about (deals being one of them, as well as "potential" or being c-r-a-z-y). I plan on releasing this stuff soon.

So the intention of the article was partially to do exactly this, but I didn't want the tone to be too heavy-handed or self-helpy so I relegated this information to being between the lines. If you take a look at the number of penguins I gave each technique, that roughly correlates to how positively I view each bragging technique. As the website name suggests, the less penguins the better!
They released the Windows 10 version for free for a period of time. That’s the version that is cross platform with the likes of the Switch and Xbox One iirc. The RaspberryPi version was also released for free but you know, It’s the Rpi not not exactly a power house. And I’m sure the Java version has been on sale a couple of times.

I ended up buying the game on the 360, PC and Android over the years (though I think I only paid something like 10p for the Android version during a sale or Google Offer). Yeah it’s a pixel game, yes it’s Java, yes it can run like shit, yes it’s a sandbox game with no real objective. But it’s surprisingly relaxing. I’ve lost count of the amount of hours I’ve spend just building.
Does this tunnel all internet traffic through the VPN or has it the option to only tunnel traffic to certain addresses?

Our current OpenVPN set up involves whitelisting addresses for which traffic needs to go through the VPN. All other traffic goes around the VPN. Does Portal Cloud VPN support a set up this?

Really nice article. While I'd quibble about some of the details, this categorization of comments is really good. Really good discussion around each category too.

Not sure if is a separate category or not, but I often do Quirks type comments especially when dealing with APIs of libraries with links to relevant documentation ( even if though those links may go dead at some point, I'll capture the essence of the quirk in the comment and leave the link )
> Wearing a helmet in a steel cage seems kind of redundant.

All kinds of race car drivers were helmets - and their steel cages are much much more sturdy than the ones that commuters have. Statistics als indicate that many car drivers suffer head injuries. So by all available evidence, wearing a helmet in a car is not redundant. Still, people don’t do it - unless they engage in particularly dangerous activities.

The parent poster that you refer to explicitly gave his speed as about 20km/h for commuting, which is neither particularly fast nor particularly dangerous on good infrastructure. So why wear a helmet?
I’m not the complainant, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One thing that I consider to be a really important part of a senior engineer's job that's not enumerated here is: helping more junior engineers come up with estimates for difficulty and time on projects they're about to undertake. To a senior engineer, there are a large number of projects that are fairly easily scope-able, e.g. "add a new API endpoint"; "refactor this medium-large model" that a junior engineer may not have the necessary degree of confidence to estimate. While this can sometimes be the responsibility of an engineering manager, not all EMs are sufficiently technical to know how long it'll take a _junior_ engineer to take on an otherwise easily-scoped task.

> It's not like democrats are not above voter suppression.

You're attempting to deflect the debate here. So let me redirect it back.

California handled redistricting via the California Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is set up to create competitive districts. And further California's jungle primary also works against politicians having safe seat. California also makes it trivially easy to register to vote and has things like the motor voter program. And California also allows mail in ballots and provides generally adequate polling polices.

So I think here your argument that Democrats are as corrupt and amoral as Republicans fails by example.

> wealth disparity

Most wealthy cities deal with poor people by driving them out via policing, taxes and zoning enforcement. How is that better than San Francisco's attempts to tolerate it?

> And giving non-citizens voting rights is absurd

You haven't made an argument here.
I remember a time in America when a Republican & Democrat could peacefully disagree with dignity, and follow that up with an evening out as friends
I think part of the problem is largely calling "right wing", "alt-right", "bigot" any view one disagrees with.
Thank you so much for this article.

Just because a developer thinks their code is a gift from the gods and understandable by all doesn’t make it true.

Great article. The entanglement of The Enlightenment in everyday thinking is the source of much confusion and irony. I imagine we'll grow out of it.

I'm reminded of a 1980s BBC film of Alan Bennett's "The Insurance Man" in which a Dr Kafka struggles with a claim and eventually end up helping his client by getting him a job at his uncle's factory. The ending is stunning: we linger on the beautifully photographed dust-filled air of the factory. Feel happy for the man. And learn that the uncle is in the asbestos business.

No. Git is a Merkle tree, a concept invented by Ralph Merkle in '79. The blockchain also uses a Merkle tree. Git is not a blockchain.

I'd love if that were the reality, but it isn't. A judge will scrutinize a party they believe is acting in bad faith (this is a term of art, but I'm using it in the lay sense here), but you won't show that a party is acting in bad faith because they were linguistically precise during a statement of defense.

You'll show they're acting in bad faith if documentary evidence shows they're baddies.

The theory behind our court system is one thing. The reality is another.
Mixing execution concerns and the language seems like a bad idea.

It's pretty much impossible to decide what an optimised query should look like on a different databases with different data.

Slow network? Fast disks? GPU optimised joins? No way to know what execution order should be, and that's a strength of the relational model.

Customer and legal problems put you at great financial risk. E.g. customers get out of paying one way or another and you cannot cover operational costs, you lose customer data and get sued for damages, you screw up on GDPR and get fined, etc.

Bugs in your infrastructure could also cause you to accidentally spin up a shitton of instances far exceeding your operational budget, but that isn't the primary concern.

Of course they matter. Ideally the decision that was made 6 months ago under the conditions/restraints was the right one back then.
Since then circumstances might have changed that would result in a different decision 6 months ago if you had known.
Only if you have a record of some sort (ideally with background information and not just the time of the decision) people will be able to understand and re-evaluate the past.

Money and time was invested since then and the decision to keep the course or to change again should consider the history of the decision.
I think their reaction to him being there shows the anti-conservative bias still at Facebook. The statement from Zuck on respecting other views is a vein attempt at appeasing conservative concerns now that Trump + the Congress and Senate are rightfully beginning to scrutinize them, Google, Twitter etc.. If they actually meant what they said they could have simply released a statement saying that Kaplan is attending as a friend of Kavenaugh, his presence there was not at all related to his job at Facebook nor does his presence or personal opinions the opinions of Facebook etc....... If anything supporting Kaplan's choice to attend both publicly and privately would have given Facebook some ammunition to say that they are taking tolerance towards other political views seriously... At this point they are continuing to provide more ammunition to the people calling for the revocation of safe harbor, breakup of the company, increased regulation etc..
A smaller blockchain might seem like a toddler compared to the big old bitcoin, however you shouldn't dismiss that the biggest shitcoins in market capitalization have a decent amount of people invested in them.

Take in account a 51% attack causes a double-spend. A double-spend targetting a transaction of a big amount costs the same as if you target a transaction of a small amount. This means that whoever performs this attack could just wait until the perfect victim comes in (think: a big transaction from/to a hotwallet of a big exchange).

This, in the end, could cause a big loss to some user of the exchange (especially if the exchange doesn't take responsibility for the issue); which could mean a lot more value than a lollipop.

Key takeaway from this IMO: don't invest in shitcoins, err.. altcoins sorry.

> English has so many synonyms with slightly different connotations and idiomatic nuances that it is hard to master.

At some point I accepted that this is true for every language. First there's training basic grammar and initial vocabulary (a few months' study) and then there's mastering the long tail of idiomatic expressions (years of study). The first gives you the ability to talk about any topic. Only the second gives you effortless communication.
I have a more radical approach to that : I discard any opinion I see in a press article (that is, most of it, usually), and only focus on new facts the article brings.

I don't mean any disrespect for journalists and I'm deeply thankful for their work (I even considered becoming one, as a kid), but I don't care for their opinion. I did once, before the internet, because opinions were valuable, as the only ones you were exposed to were family's and friends'.

But today, the internet is a massive opinion building/sharing machine. The last thing we need is the press to do it as well, instead it must be the place where we can expect to find facts and fact checking. I don't have any problem with random people sharing their opinion either - it's cool we can do it - but now I expect more from the press.

Now, I'm well aware solving the native ad problem does not solve the real problem : press has hard time keeping afloat. My usual suggestion about that is for browsers to include means for micro-payment (be it using google pay, cryptocurrencies, apple pay, whatever pay, a new standard, I don't care). The main problem with paywalls to me is that they expect users to subscribe for monthly subscriptions, renewed until they're manually cancelled. This is not how people consume news anymore. They come to an article because of its content, they wish to see that content, they don't want to see other articles. We need to allow people to quickly pay a small fee to see a single article, without all the hassle of using a credit card.

I understand the evidence and the virtually iron clad case for evolution and so I know it happens and it is how we got here. Nevertheless, it remains extremely non-obvious to me if I try to actually comprehend how it could actually have happened.

Imagine some human male, just old enough to be capable of fathering a child.

Now imagine standing next to him his father, from when his father was just old enough to be capable of fathering children.

Next to him, put his father, at that age, and so on. Go back to their earliest male direct paternal ancestor for which it still makes sense to say it is male (so a little ways past a billion years ago, when sexual reproduction appeared).

Visualize that long line of organisms, each fathered by the one before it, and father to the one after it. The only apparent differences between each organism in that line and its father or child, even under a detailed internal examination, are either very very minor or are cosmetic or size differences.

Yet if you take two organisms far apart in the line, you get massive differences. On one end you have a human, and a good distance down the line you've got something that swims around in the ocean, and differs drastically from the human. Different number of heart chambers, something other than lungs for breathing, and more.

Now go somewhere between those two, where you can find something that lives on land, but uses four legs, not two legs and two arms.

It is not at all obvious how this is possible, because remember, to get from that thing in the water to that thing on four legs, and from that thing on four legs to us, the changes from father to son every step of the way have to essentially be continuous.

Intuitively, that would seem to mean that between the four legged ancestor and the two leg two arm ancestors there had to be many generations where the individuals had two limbs that were somewhere between legs and arms. They would be not as good at four legged things as "normal" four legged animals, and not as good at arm things as "normal" armed animals. Similar argument for every other aspect the differs significantly between them. And yet, despite those disadvantages, everyone in line managed to make it at least long enough to successfully reproduce [1].

It just seems that so many low probability sequential things had to happened for this to work that I don't find it obvious that it is is possible, even taking into account that this possible evolution space was being explored by a huge number of organisms in parallel and taking into account that our end of the line is not special from an understanding evolution viewpoint--it just seems special to use because it is our end.

It's essentially for me like geometry theorems in higher dimensional spaces. I can understand their proofs and know they are true, but cannot find them obvious the way 2D and 3D geometry can be.

[1] Which is kind of sobering, since I do not have kids, meaning that I dropped the ball and ended a direct line of father/son descent going back over a billion years.
