Once the complex configuration is represented in code, we can take full advantage of the tools we already use to manage code, like version control, diffing, pull requests, issue tracking, etc.

Yes! And I watched that the next weekend! The entire story is that there there were actually 2 cancelled flights and 2 rental cars..

My original path was BHM -> ATL -> RIC. My friend and I were traveling back together as far as ATL, then he was going to a different city. We got a notification that the BHM -> ATL leg was delayed, and we'd miss our connections in ATL. That prompted us to rent a car and drive from BHM->ATL. We got the last car Hertz had, a $200 Cadillac, so we rented it. Two other guys from the same flight piled in the back of the car, and we drove to ATL.

In hindsight, it would have been better to just drive to my friend's city, since he was on my way home.. Skipping ATL would have gotten me home hours earlier.

You can run Linux under L4, as mentioned in the post. I understand this is a common thing to do on phones with Qualcomm chips, using OKL4. But that isn't to protect you from malicious software; it's to protect malicious software from you. Qubes is a similar system with more praiseworthy aims, but not using L4 as the hypervisor.

Running a web browser directly on a microkernel is a reasonable thing to do, and it's likely that Fuchsia will end up doing it, but it will involve a lot of work.

The performance expectations of JS generally do not have anything to do with the operating system, but as explained in the post, when it comes to fundamental OS services, seL4 is more than an order of magnitude faster than even other microkernels, much less FreeBSD, Linux, or Microsoft Windows.

Microkernels generally need higher performance for those things because operations such as read(), which involve just a system call on a monolithic kernel, with context switches into and out of the kernel, involve a full context switch to a separate server process and back on a microkernel.

I was not talking about bad science in general. I could say that in general, science seems to be in crisis [1] and pinning it down to people whose political affiliation does not suit your needs is reductive. Also, because there’s some different distributions does not mean leftwing = bad.

Another interpretation could be: the GOP platform is highly anti-science and most scientists wouldn’t want to be associated to such a horrendous organization which doubts scientific consensus regarding an issue that’s threatening the whole of civilization.

I don't find it surprising. A lot of what makes up the gold rush or Silicon Valley is based on implementing dark patterns and foisting things upon the user that don't actually help them. Being able to work on things that addict and deceive the masses gives a sense of power to a lot of people, and it promises a fair sum of money. I personally refuse to work for companies that use software for nefarious purposes, even if everything they're doing is legal.
... A browser extension that automatically launches on settings pages of SaaS tools. When you make a change on these sites, the extension gives you the opportunity to also provide a commit message, similar to how you would with a code check-in. Now you have a record of some button clicks that impacted your environment. The change has a permanent URL so you can look it up later if you forgot what you did, use it to help you move settings from staging to prod, or have others review the changes that were made. ... Our extension is able to capture payloads while being generally agnostic of the site itself. We’ll capture changes even if we haven’t seen the site before or if something has changed from the previous time we encountered it.

This sounds amazing, would have definitely made my life easier on many projects ... looking forward to checking it out!

Oh, and one thing to add if you haven’t already is the ability to whitelist which domains the extension is active on for privacy purposes.

Something I find interesting is that Robert's Rules of Order encapsulate a simple, early version of source control. Amendment processes are early pull requests, built to peer review diffs to the most recent previous document. If done properly, the minutes for a meeting should represent almost a full commit log, including discarded branches.

In College, I did spend some time wondering if a good Robert's Rules meeting running software might be a generally useful project, after being in a few society meetings where branches got long and twisty (amendment to an amendment to a proposal type things). Never did build anything more than a prototype though.
I do not advocate individual change as a tool to rely on to solve problems, so this is a straw man. That would disregard other effective and efficient ways to approach problems. I also don't think it's about "personal ethical edification". That is again a rather condescending spin you are giving to it.

My point is about recognizing the individual influence one has. Often that is avoided by the statement I'm criticizing.

Thank you for the recommendation! I love essay collections and will pick up a copy.

I can't say that Trick Mirror is entirely focused, unless you're responding to my description of her prose which very surely is. The opening essay is on the internet, another on drugs and losing faith and finding faith and megachurches and Houston hip-hop, another on our obsession with optimization, another on the complexity of campus sexual assault, etc. The collection is broad and each essay is deep. (I feel quite strongly that I would read Jia's writing on anything—sawdust, pecans, lice, dry cleaners—and that compounds itself when she writes about topics both so weighty, so broadly applicable, and yet so personal.)

What I love about the collection is it feels the way Joan Didion's or DFW's best narrative non-fiction feels. That kind of awe at the writing, that unfurling of confident and thought-through storytelling, that kind of blossoming of connections that form the richness of life and intellectual inquiry. The difference–and for me this is somewhat personal and so perhaps not universally relatable but feels like it could be–is that, at 30, she is writing about our time. She's writing about coming of age in and with the world we live in now.

Didion writing about the sixties and seventies and Wallace about the eighties and nineties and two thousands are both beautiful and timeless and a masterclass on what greatness feels like in your hands, but there's something special about reading someone cogently weave personal experiences about AngelFire and Twitter and political extremism and Anonymous and the crushing weight of forever being "seen" and performing on the internet. Something special because we are living it now.

I feel about Jia—as well as a few other living writers; Caity Weaver's profiles come to mind—the way I didn't know to feel about other living legends. That feeling of not appreciating what you have because you think it will last forever. I think about when Mac Miller was still alive (less than a year ago) or when Lil Wayne was on top of the world with Tha Carter III or when Chance the Rapper still made good music or when Obama was president or when Jon Stewart was on TV or when Jobs was leading Apple. I didn't consciously stop and appreciate not only the work but to be alive to live it, and now that those times are gone there's only nostalgia. I'm trying to be more mindful of witnessing generational talent in the moment and Jia's writing feels that way to me.

Aside from the “you can’t compare those numbers across categories” issue, there’s the fact that Tesla makes the incorrect inference “safest per collision” ⇒ “lowest probability of injury of all cars”.

I’m not making any claim about Tesla’s cars (because of its low center of gravity and relatively large weight, they likely are quite a bit safer than the average car in collisions) but if brand B has distracting UI, bad steering, or whatever, that causes it to slam into walls twice as often as cars of brand C, being safer in a single collision may not offset that.
No it's not even that. The numbers they produce for front impact don't generalize across class and the real rule is basically the larger vehicle will have lower injury risk in mixed vehicle collisions.
This literally made my day.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. Or to quote Upton Sinclair “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” If someone is against Global Warming at this point it is not because they've seen evidence that convinces them otherwise, or they are naturally skeptical. Those are just justifications for doing what they want and if you remove those justifications they will just choose new ones.

Now the fact that you immediately leap to authoritarianism is just plain stupid. No one at all is advocating for that in the linked piece or any of the comments. Passing a carbon tax for instance is not authoritarian if done through the democratic process.

I have a question, if you don't mind:

I have a stopwatch function in my HP48 that I don't want using a local variable (avoid polluting my precious menu), or having to keep it in a stack.

Instead I want the value of the last time I ran the program to be stored within the program itself. I believe this is called a closure in CS.

Right now I can have
<< value -> X
'expression'
EVAL
rest of the program
>>

And it'll work just fine, but how could I get the value at the very top modified?

(I know my cell phone has a stopwatch. We're not allowed phones at work)

There is a school of thought that says that you shouldn't let people without investment experience, put their money into early-stage tech startups run by people they know nothing about, precisely because they are less likely to understand that the great majority of startups fail.

Ha! I'm pretty sure they're optimizing for cost and precisely as much customer dissatisfaction that customers can take before they leave for competitors. My experiences with Amazon Logistics have not been good. Their processes and staff are inferior to USPS and UPS at least.
Because app development insited on a high barrier to entry approach to paradigms and tooling that put it out of reach of most developers, enough of whom valued a pragmatic approach to getting their ideas out into the world.

The fact that billion dollar companies insist on continuing to take the shortcut approach when they have the resources available to "be better" is not the fault of framework developers who originally innovated to fill the demand

I don't know about Spotify's free-tier economics, but personally, I spend a lot more money on music, thanks to a-la-carte subscription services, then I ever did prior to it.

If the artists negotiated taking 0.01% of the revenues from it, with the subscription services taking 30%, and the record label taking the other 69.99%, that's not exactly my problem. I don't pick which record label said artists sign with.

I’m not aware of any Nintendo titles that didn’t already do this.

This is good in theory but I don’t think it really matters. People are innumerate. I enjoy a few gacha games that are conducive to F2P players. My sense from reading random reddit threads is that most people are both very bad at understanding the in game utility of various items/characters/whatever’s and at understanding the odds of getting them in a lottery. A lot of people complain when they try 100 pulls to get a 0.5% chance, and don’t get it. They consult calculators and look at the probabilities within c pulls and don’t internalize it correct.

And then they get an opportunity to just buy things straight up and perceive $10 for something specific to be good value because it is better relative to the norm.

That’s what really messes with innumerates. Promotions offering low value that is higher than their anchored norm.

I feel like the headline is a bit click-baity but I don't want to jump to conclusions.

> Tsakalidis said that in order to make modifications to Electron apps, local access is needed, so remote attacks to modify Electron apps aren't (currently) a threat. But attackers could backdoor applications and then redistribute them, and the modified applications would be unlikely to trigger warnings—since their digital signature is not modified.

So the issue is that Electron app distributions dont include a signed integrity check so there's no way for end-users to detect if they got a modified version. I thought that the MacOS builds did do this, but maybe the ASAR bundles aren't included in the hash, or maybe I'm wrong entirely.

I assume the a solution would store the signing pubkey on initial install and then check updates against that. The only way the signing key could be checked other than trust-on-first-install would be through some kind of registry, which is what I assume the Windows and Mac stores are geared toward. Am I correct on all this?

EDIT: Either way, it seems like the solution is to only use the projects' official distribution channels. Signed integrity checks would be useful but probably not change the situation that dramatically. Is that accurate?
This article seems a bit clickbait-y considering this means that you'd have to download the application from an untrusted source for this "exploit" to be taken advantage of. The same could be said for most applications if people aren't checking that the hashes match.

I feel like this will get a ton of discussion here anyway due to the Electron hate train.

I'm not denying climate science. The material science papers I've read seem pretty unambiguous. Some seem intentionally hard to replicate, but when they have a video of the material exhibiting the behavior they're describing it's pretty hard to debate :p

But I haven't found nearly as many issues in STEM fields, although I'm seeing some very worrying trends in AI research and reproducibility.

It makes cross-platform desktop development much easier.

VSCode, Discord, and (the new) Slack are written in Electron, and those absolutely excel, even at the cost of a bit extra memory usage.

There's a circlejerk of Electron hate, but there's a reason it's so popular, the ease of development outweighs its weighty memory drawbacks for many companies and individuals.

Edit: Not to mention that it uses Node.js, HTML, CSS, so moving from web-apps => desktop becomes a much simpler endeavor.
