As someone that is familiar with the software which powers a lot of the Oil and gas regulatory bodies in the US, this is not uncommon. It is basically all up to inspectors and regulators to determine and enter this data, with no tie back to actual measurements or integration to sensors that track well output or detect leaks/spills. Inspectors are typically former industry workers and may have perverse reporting incentives. Places like ND and WV are rife with corruption between wealthy drilling corps and regulatory bodies.

This article doesn't define what an OS is, so it suffers.

The layers that sit directly above the hardware need to be simple and efficient (think like OSI layer 1 and 2). Actual hardware beneath this needs to be even simpler so it can focus on what good hardware should be: high performance. For example, having hard drives implement database-like concepts in hardware is bad. Because then you have to change hardware if your concepts evovle, which is expensive. So let the hard drive do what it does best, which is get data off of a platter or NAND, and let a layer on the OS abstract that for higher-level layers.

The UNIX API is the best we got so far I think, for OSes that are actually useable on a wide variety of hardware platforms. There's a reason why files are byte streams and "type" information is not part of a file - it's not a storage device's job to do anything but store and retrieve data fast and reliably. And it's not the job of the immediate lower layers of an OS to do anything but facilitate that and interface with a higher layer, like an SQL daemon.

The user facing layers high up, like the shell, are technically not OS facilities, they are "default applications" that, in a perfect world, would work under any OS.
A long time ago I heard someone say this about Rogan. I think they were trying to insult him, but it's actually really true.

I think that the number that they show you in the app is different from the number on the card. They show you a number that you can enter into websites etc but there is a section for "physical card" that only shows you the last 4 digits.

I think they do, but Oracle recently announced they won't be backporting security patches to older versions of the open source OpenJDK distributions.

Yes! This is a great idea!

Signing up with a typical SaaS service these days typically involves 1) a qualification call with an SDR (wastes 30ish minutes), 2) a redundant qualification call with an AE (roughly 30 minutes where they probe you for price sensitivity), 3) a 2-3 day delay while they draw up a really high anchor for your price, 4) two or three iterations of you fighting the price (wastes an hour each time), 5) you sign a contract with a lingering uncertainty you got ripped off.

Repeat for the 20-30 SaaS providers you end up using. It's a huge time suck for a dubious benefit. I would love to pay to make that go away in the future.
EF Core has caught up a lot in 3.x. It's LINQ support is now possibly better than EF ever was, especially with the move to the new "throw an error if the query provider can't do it" model where "downgrades" from SQL to in memory operations must be explicit now (such AsEnumerable() calls).

EF (not-Core) 6.3 has also been finally ported to .NET Core (though I think it is still considered "Preview" quality) which should be directly plug and play for some types of legacy applications (Microsoft seems hopeful it will mean more WinForms and WPF apps will just run on .NET Core now).

A bit of both. The base OS itself provides way more functionality out of the box than Linux (imagine an asterisk here) and that is done through APIs that have remained backwards compatible going back to Windows 95 (of course new stuff got added in later versions). When applications want more they bundle their dependencies with them (either via static or dynamic linking) and sadly that is indeed repeated. However the base OS provides enough functionality that you do not need to, e.g, bundle an entire GUI toolkit that implements everything from scratch (ignoring Qt/Java/etc programs here - they do that for portability but they didn't have to if they only cared about Windows).

(now the asterisk: in terms of functionality above and taking an average desktop distribution in mind you'd probably find more of it in Linux, but applications can't rely on most of that functionality being available on all distros as a "standard" and even for the stuff they could expect, way more often than not they rely on specific version ranges - e.g. an application cannot rely on "Gtk", it can only rely on "Gtk <version>.xxx", as Gtk itself isn't backwards compatible across major versions).

Split the OS into different services. The file system, the run-time (EXE) management system, the UI manager, the coordinator, etc. For one, you could mix and match and pick the best part for your needs. That's a more webby and cloudish view of things, I would note.

I do agree our file-systems need to be more RDBMS-like. I'd like to see "Dynamic Relational" experimented with more. You don't necessarily need to pre-wire columns: add them as you need, unless not permitted for a given table.
> The circuit relies 100% on the microcontroller outputting the right signals

I'm not an E.E. but does that apply for DC optimizers? Older optimizers had no AC conversions in them.

> Little boxes like that are hard to waterproof and make resistant to repeated temperature fluctuations.

Hmm. I never checked to see if the warranty for the optimizers are 20 years. The panels are but I'd be surprised to see the optimizers be less than 20. Most, non-cheap, optimizers do have insulation to prevent moisture from getting in.

> It's just as likely to happen on a de-energised panel too - the optimizer is still connected, and the sun is still shining.

Based on your description, that makes it a possibility. Why aren't the optimizers equipped with some type of regulator to prevent output in situations like this?

I will caveat that by saying dental care is not free[1], but the prices are reasonable - maximum charge £270 (for a single course of treatment and anything within two months of it, for treatments such as bridges, crowns, and denatures), and "If you require urgent care, you'll pay a Band 1 charge of £22.70."/ "There's no dental charge [...] if your dentist has to stop blood loss".

> The idea that computing can and should be fundamentally reinvented has been the most exciting discovery of my life.

This was one of the more depressing discoveries of mine.

"Reinvention" works by the main stream of this industry having knowledge half-life on the order of decade or less. Instead of building on top of prior work, we keep reinventing the old stuff; sometimes better, but usually very poorly - I attribute this to bad incentives. In the 70s they had time to think about what they're actually doing. In 2010s we have constant race to the market, and "move fast and break things" culture, which leads to layers of crappy abstractions that keeps relative performance of our software on the level of 1980s while delivering little usability on top.
I misunderstood both your and the grandparent comment. You’re right. I’ve amended my other comment.
Sure, but the feature engineer could escape the asymptope that BERT is converging towards and get better accuracy which could make the product*market fit work.
Audio.

A great many people work with audio or want to work with audio, and Windows and OSX are lightyears ahead of Linux in terms of ease of use and overall quality.

You'd think the PulseAudio fiasco would have improved the situation, but I believe the developers thought as you did, and so built a system that's woefully encumbered with latency. Jack improves the situation WRT latency, but it comes at the cost of an altogether brittle and broken integration with PA, and thus with all major Linux desktops.

Bounded response times may not be needed for your word processor, but there's plenty of folks out there who would be better served by it. Hell, I'd love a snappier editor on account of predictable response times to keypresses.

Like it or not, Jones is in the popular zeitgeist - or was. One could make the argument that Rogan having him on exposed him to people who hadn't gone down the Info Wars rabbit hole and now he's somewhat faded from relevance. Jones came off utterly unhinged, you're right. But isn't this a kind of control mechanism for what gets in the popular narrative?

>There are a lot of interviewers who would have both Shapiro and Sanders on, so your point on that is just not relevant.

Who? Shapiro, an orthodox Jew, is repeatedly slandered as a white supremacist. I'm pretty skeptical that mainstream interviewers who would love to interview Sanders would touch Shapiro. Not necessarily because they aren't interested, but because of the potential wrath from their regular viewers/listeners. Rogan just doesn't have that kind of polarized following, at least it doesn't appear so to me. Interviews with people like Sanders garner just as much interest as his interviews with e.g. Bret Weinstein. People show up because it's interesting, not because they're looking for confirmation of their own views.

I'm glad to see the browser developers being proactive to help protect users from this kind of thing.

I'll be very interested to see what happens when it's countries they have more connections to, who start doing this kind of thing.

For example in the UK it seems likely that the Digital Verification Act will require ISPs to block access to pornographic sites that don't comply with the legislation.

Given the rise of DNS over HTTPS, it'll be hard to comply with that requirement without some form of MITM, so if the UK ISPs do that, will Mozilla/Google/MS/Apple also block their certs...

Other editors take good advantage of LSP and even DAP. Emacs has good support for it. My Emacs coworker has been using it. The best part is once you develop one server it should just work with any supporting editor.

Wonder if Spacemacs / Spacevim will natively support LSP and DAP. Would be really nice.
I would say taking money from, investing with and visiting the houses of a convicted child sex trafficker is a really bad idea if you want to keep your and your institution's reputation intact. It's also recently come to light that Epstein continued to rape children during this time period (post-arrest). Two new lawsuits were just filed against his estate for it.
The Linux hosts for Azure Web Apps also support Python and Node.JS out of the box.
I'd argue it's at least morally questionable to assist in a convicted and apparently unrepentant felon's attempts to whitewash their reputation via large amounts of cash.

Thank you, this is very helpful for understanding your position.

I am having trouble putting my thoughts in order to respond. One thing I can say is that I agree with your criteria for justifiable regulations, I think I (and Elizabeth Warren) just have a much more expansive definition of "harm to a third party". I think a lot of important harm is not captured by metrics like average standard living and economic growth and "innovation", and I was unable to find any correlation between inequality and the Fraser Institute's economic freedom ranking.

> There are things like so-called "price gouging" in disaster situations which many people perceive as wrong, but in actuality are a necessary signalling behavior of the market in order to allocate more resources to those areas. Banning such things only results in shortages which _do have_ measurable negative consequences.

It doesn't make sense to talk about appropriate market behavior in a disaster situation, which can never be a functioning free market. In a disaster, buyers are forced to buy immediately, they cannot shop around, compare products, and choose not to buy if the price is too high. A key feature of a free market is that nobody is forced to buy or sell. High prices are only an effective signal when there is a low barrier to entry to enter the market, and willingness to pay roughly correlates with need. Neither of these are true in a disaster.

This is similar to healthcare, another "market" that by definition cannot be free and should never be treated as such. Participants are coerced into buying, knowledge about quality and price of goods is hidden from buyers, comparison shopping is impossible in an emergency, and ability to pay has nothing to do with need. A market cannot function when many mandatory purchases cost more than many participants' net wealth.
