This guy was a mixed bag of ethics. Sure, he donated a lot of money, but some of the donations were done on the premise that they would be invested in funds that he managed. Shady. And he donated mostly to expand the athletics program at a university. Gee thanks, schools need more football.

And then he did the classic old rich guy move: donate tons of money to healthcare to see if it will stave off death. And also donate money to right your wrongs! Spent a lifetime investing in planet-destroying oil? Maybe I should invest in Wind...

I wouldn’t pay any attention to his musings, he’s a passionless capitalist.
"Triumph of the Will and the Cinematic Language of Propaganda"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ1Qm1Z_D7w

The propaganda was incredibly successful. To this day "Triumph of the Will" continues to be used as a reference point for the mental construct of the Nazi regime. The modern understanding of the Nazis is deeply informed by a propaganda film produced by the Nazis for the explicit purpose of creating that mental construct. "Triumph of the Will"'s endless lines of soldiers marching in formation is exactly the image they wanted you to think of when you thought of them.
That’s been my approach as well. An astonishingly large number of companies think they can buy an off the shelf static analysis tool and pipe the default output to developers. That’s counterproductive. A very small percentage of developers will understand the output, be able to assess the exploitability/severity, and care about fixing it. One might think you could then just have them take the “better safe than sorry” approach and fix everything, but FP rates for all of the commercial tools make that completely untenable. At the same time, you can’t expect to convince small teams of developers to model everything out and define sources/sinks using some obscure DSL that they have to learn. But, there are classes of issues that are extremely high impact, but only low accuracy static analysis rules can find the candidates. It’s that part in the middle that you don’t want to throw out, but you need security experts to vet. Other cases with high confidence checks are appropriate to short circuit straight to the devs, but it’s a bad first step.
That's a very US specific thing. There are different interest groups for or against taxes across different states that I doubt it would change any time soon. I would love for all advertised prices to be the final price (or very close based on reasonable estimates), but such a law would never get broad support. Taxes are such a taboo in the US that the government can't even offer free income tax returns.
Detailed descriptions of ~50 debt crises that had happened in the past century, both deflationary like the 2008 subprime crisis in the US and much of the world, and inflationary like the 1930s Weimar Republic hyperinflation can be found in Ray Dalio's book "Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises". The main determinant of whether a debt crisis becomes deflationary vs inflationary is whether the debt is denominated in local currency (and can therefore be managed/socialized via money printing, like QE after 2008, or the Roosevelt's Executive Order 6102 in 1933 with the follow-ups) or in a foreign currency (when the debtor country cannot do so). Only borrow in a currency in which you earn! This applies to governments too.

The article makes a few valid points about Java. It's worth pointing out that there are some changes happening to Java, the JVM, and the wider ecosystem of languages running on it.

One big disadvantage of Java has been the lack of value types and the reliance on heap memory vs. stack memory, which is what languages like Rust would use. This is changing and they are in the process of supporting value types in Java. Currently it's unclear with which release this will land but work here is progressing. This will improve performance for a number of use-cases where the advantage is currently for languages like rust. Of course Rust has many other advantages that give it an edge but this is a fairly big deal and it's likely to narrow the gap a little.

Another big change is the introduction of the graal vm and ahead of time compilation that supports. This does not work for all programs as some things like e.g. using reflection prevent using this. However, frameworks are evolving that enable using this. This means faster startup times and lower memory foot prints; which is useful for e.g. server-less type environments. Of course the flip-side is that you miss out on run-time optimizations that hotspot would do as well as some of the more advanced garbage collectors.

Finally, Kotlin as a language is addressing a lot of the concerns people have about the Java language. It's similar to Swift and like Swift and Rust, there's also a llvm native compiler for it. A lot of the cross platform Kotlin libraries are written such that they work in both native and jvm environment. Additionally those same properties also make them usable with the Graal vm. So, it's no longer true that Java (and Kotlin) code is limited to the JVM.

IMHO graal and kotlin native are going to be interesting. Kotlin native is currently in beta and the graal vm is still relatively young. As this stuff matures, there is inevitably going to be a some movement of people to those runtime environments. Also popular frameworks like Spring (which is increasingly Kotlin centric) are also focusing on facilitating using the Graal vm.

Finally, they've been working on improving interacting with native code. This currently requires writing a lot of stub code and they are working on automatically generating that. This will facilitate easier interoperability with Rust and other native languages on the JVM and on Graal and is probably going to be a big deal for e.g. Jruby and other scripting languages on the jvm.
Is there some kind of nonfree software he needs to use in order to sue someone? If not I'd assume he's already in the process of doing it
yeah sure subprocess.check_output(). If you ever dealt with much perl you know how much more pleasant and easy launching processes was in that language - like shell. Python is great, I'm not on the "bash python" wagon. Launching processes, getting the output, munging it and shoving it at another process is more fiddly and less natural in python. If you want to use that as evidence that I'm a garbage developer go ahead, I realise I'm not writing a carefully researched paper here with examples.

In Perl you literally took the part of your shell pipeline, quoted it and opened it like any other file.

./output_generator | wc -l
becomes

open(SRC, "output_generator|");
open(WC, "|wc -l);

And you do whatever you want with those filehandles. It's been ages since I wrote any perl. I miss it.
I am slowing moving from bash to python for my utility script.
I was unable to love Perl, I think this weired syntax is a very bad choice.

Anyway bash is still faster to use, and a lot of Unix services are based on it. The book is well written and have a great added value.
Thank you for sharing!!
From my experience that mostly only applies to the application layer. Especially updates on distributed databases are often not as easy as "stop and rollback" as you have to achieve a stable quorum or other similar dynamic states like that which you can't easily achieve from restoring a snapshot. There your best shot often is to learn how to deal with all the failure scenarios manually and do as many tests on a staging system until you feel comfortable.
I think there's a difference between running a website vs being a user on somebody else's site. A website must publish its registered agent address if it wants to take advantage of the DMCA system (i.e., receiving take down demands instead of lawsuits). E.g., Wikimedia receives take down demands as described at https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:DMCA.

I'm unclear what the difference is between how Wikimedia is set up and the situation with the Guardian and Mail.

That link above doesn't seem to contain everything that Wikimedia receives on its various sites, e.g., there's also https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Office_actions/DM...

If you rent a car and it says "unlimited mileage. Speed reduced to 3 mph after the first 10 miles". The car keeps driving, it is "unlimited" but useless for normal usage.
Netflix and youtube will simply not work (buffering for 5 seconds every 3 seconds is not working), but you can keep using it for "whatever"* (*maybe, sometimes, for the first 10 days).

For me that depends on the level you are looking at: Tactical, Operational, Strategic. The first two have to be data and metrics driven, that's where you make or loose money right now.

On the strategic level your performance metrics are giving only a baseline for your capabilities, strength and weaknesses. That should only be affecting the implementation of a given strategy and never the definition of it.

And as always, if a metrics system is ill defined from the start it will steer you in the wrong direction. Like a broken speedometer in a car. And we didn't even start to talk about the corresponding incentive and bonus program yet...

As an American citizen living in Switzerland, it's somewhat of an impertinence that I'm essentially limited to using one bank - Post Finance - when Germany and a number of other countries with large expat populations here now ask for and receive the same information on their citizens.

I'm using an LG OLED TV (2018 model I think) with an Apple TV, and it's working pretty much exactly like a dumb screen. I haven't connected the TV to the network, and I control everything with the Apple TV remote - it turns on the TV via HDMI CEC as needed, and when I turn off the Apple TV the TV turns off too. I've also connected my home theater system via HDMI ARC to get better sound, and CEC turns on and off the speakers too.

All I see of the LG interface during normal use is a small box in the top right corner that says "Apple TV" on boot and "Denon available" or something like that when the speaker systems has booted.

Also, the screen turns on quickly so there's practically no waiting for anything.

I was thinking of getting one of those in-store displays instead of a TV, but they don't usually have HDR.

A++++, would buy again!

That could be potentially even more interesting than a bash-specific one (as it is harder to get it right -- bash can be figured out out of the single reference, anything "portable" has many dependencies).
If your sensors are telling you something that should be impossible, do you normally assume you're seeing the impossible or that your sensors are wrong?

The key here is that the movement of the ocean in the background makes it seem like that object must be moving extremely fast, regardless of whether the sensors are correct or not. But what nobody ever explains in the context of those videos is that the aircraft is banking and the camera automatically panning to stay on the target. The apparent motion of the object is better explained by parallax. Neither the aircraft nor the UFO are going very fast, it's just that the orientation of the camera is changing in a way that causes the background to shift rapidly.

As a "late" chronotype living in Germany (Bavaria specifically - different states have different laws) I can confirm this. Also, the government makes lots of other decisions on the putative behalf of the individual. There's more involuntary tradeoffs (imho) that don't necessarily work out in your favor. The argument is that it's better for society, but implicitly that means everyone has to subscribe to the same narrowly defined concept of society.

I use nodejs. Sometimes it's a case of "go with what you know" rather than "use the best tool for the job". I have too many other things to do for me to bother learning yet another language just for command line scripting.
The overhead of repeatedly launching subshells/processes to do simple operations can add up quickly, especially if it is happening in loops or in parallel. Yes, you shouldn't be using bash for performance, we all know that. But scripts often grow over time and suddenly are found to be slow/resource hogs. I have seen people demand that proper logging be added to a bash program and it then get minutes behind because of the overhead of all the processes called to do the logging. I was able to make that 10000x faster using pure bash.

As to why people like it: it often feels more natural when you are automating what you would type interactively. Unix pipes/coreutils/etc. also feel like a better fit when that automation is mostly about connecting other programs (it's the auxiliary stuff that you'd maybe want in pure bash). Reading the subprocess Python documentation does not exactly fill me with joy. I've heard libraries like Plumbum make it a bit neater - but then you have to ask why learn a bunch of new libraries when I already know bash? In the end it's about the best tool for the job. The danger with bash is going too far, especially if you don't actually know it very well.

It's interesting to ponder how a metric, through its design, is a psychological brain hack that trumps rational thought and common sense. Perhaps it's the gamification aspect that gets us?

An example I think everyone can relate to is in education where grading is a rich source of perverse incentives. In developing minds, no less. Yet the metric persists.

(Just to be clear, the alternative to grading is not no feedback, but personalized, situation-specific feedback. Freeing yourself from a bad metric can open doors.)

It's not laziness at all. It's the project's Ubiquitous Language, which helps refer to concepts objectively and free from ambiguities.

There are plenty of large European countries with good healthcare systems: Germany, France and the UK, for example. I don't think there's a reason why countries with 60-80 million residents can establish good healthcare systems, but countries with 300 million people can't (even China, a much larger and poorer country than the US, is approaching universal coverage). But even if that were the case, individual US states could step in and set up their own universal healthcare systems.

> There is no Mississippi in Germany, those populations are in other countries.

It depends on what you mean by that comparison. Germany relatively recently absorbed a much poorer East Germany. There are still states like Mecklenburg-Vorpommern that are much poorer than the average in Germany. Yet they're all integrated into Germany's very good healthcare system. It could be the same in the US, but it isn't, for political reasons.

> If you compare the whole European Union to the US the disparity is much smaller.

This is not true. The European Union member states have a much greater range of GDP/capita than US states.
It depends on your definition of "user".

We have an API that is used by external systems, those systems (and developers) are our "users".

It's vital to think of API consumers as users, because it avoids the "REST is CRUD" attitude by focussing on the business/system functions that are being expressed, which leads to focussing on the Nouns, not the verbs of the business.
