The article missed an important point, namely that arguing for that C isn't a low level language is entirely pointless if you can't argue for one that can described as such. But this article just makes a point about how there are actions performed on a CPU which you have no control over. Feels like a clickbait title to me.

With respect - if you don’t see a difference between stealing an individual citizen’s bike and stealing one from a fleet owned by a company worth half a trillion dollars, perhaps you should be the one working on critical thinking skills instead of lecturing others.
Plsql, T-SQL, and it's ilk are poorly suited to complex logic.

I have no idea why anyone expected it any other way, even laptops need firmware blobs for the WiFi. (there are, I think two (2) WiFi cards with the beginnings of open source firmware for them, mine is actually one of them and I've taken the time to read through it. Lots of stuff is still totally unimplemented (a couple of popular encryption standards being the deal breaker for me personally.))
What about companies not taking responsibility of their own data?

You could talk about how FB makes $15 per quarter from users and they give up X,Y,Z of data. Yet 90% of the userbase wouldn't pay $15 a month for a advertisement free platform.

Alternatively, how about the Equifax hacks? And your Thesis could be on pricing users data. And viable compensation measures.

> Unfortunately these phones are incredibly under powered, they come from a time when arguments for bizarre custom OSes like Android actually still made some sense

Not much, IMO. As far as compute goes, those old phones were approximately as powerful as a Raspberry Pi 1 board, with plenty of RAM as well (512MB at a bare minimum). And a conventional Linux OS can run just fine on those specs, of course.

(GPU acceleration is actually more important to have, because you can't have a modern mobile UX without it. Even Purism is very possibly going to have issues on that front, BTW. GNOME-Mobile/Phosh is a nice prototype effort, but I do not regard it as genuinely usable just yet.)
> Welcome to the world of central banking.

Milton Friedman writes about this in "Monetary History of the United States". He shows with graphs that the monetary stability was greater before the Fed was established (in 1914) than after. The Fed was simply unable to react as quickly as free banking did.

Hey Derek. For tests, have you tried pgTAP[1]?

> Central banking - especially in the US - tries to keep inflation and unemployment low.

Fiat money (central banking) is the cause of endemic inflation, not the cure. There was no net inflation in the US money from 1800-1914, and pretty much continual inflation since.

The whole point of central banking is to inflate the currency to provide money for the government to spend without needing to raise taxes.

> Even back then free was tough to compete with...

At the time, even though it was easy to see that free software would eventually reach a critical mass and overtake all the system software space, the market was not nearly there.

While I used a lot of Perl (which was free) to write dynamic pages, all my software was running on Solaris and IRIX on very expensive hardware. HTTP was served mostly by Netscape's proprietary server with some traffic on NCSA HTTPd. Linux, IIRC, had terrible SMP support back then and Windows was a joke.

Yes, maybe an alternative to claim a username? Right now users aren't even stored outside of the application, which I realized is a bit boring if I want people to come back. And it will make me feel bad to restart the serer ...

I feel that sometimes synonyms is enough, but at other times a long clue can even be very hard to guess if the word is hard. So I think both are ok. As long as you don't spell it out.

Yes, I think I will change the way clues are given to users, perhaps only using clues from users that are online would be an alternative, and perhaps even alert which clue gave them points.
If i read the commit fixing the vulnerability correctly, you need to have env PATH_INFO set; SCRIPT_FILENAME is unaffected. I would expect other reverse proxies strip newline characters and such from the url, but YMMV. In the bug tracker someone suggested adding an url rewrite that strips away \n and anything that follows. That might be a viable mitigation for versions no longer patched.
If tips are gone then the wage would be regulated higher by the business (read as “should”). Seemingly it would just absorb the 15-30% tip amounts but a lot of places would have to account better for the time when things are slow. Instead of the server burdening there slow sales (driver of the tip) the business would have to guarantee the wage. It takes the employee out of the opportunistic approach that tipping seems to suggest. The same happens when you take commissions away. The sales staff now wants a higher equilibrium to account for the lack of an upside.

I can’t say double is the right number but I’m sure it’s higher than just the effective 15-30% tip.

Tried tipping a police officer lately? How about a border guard haha.

You absolutely can restrict it. An employer can forbid their employees from taking tips, there are plenty who do so already. There's all sorts of regulation around tipping, and under federal law, employers can require employees to participate in a tip pool or otherwise share their tips with other employees.

That means by extension that the state or federal governments can require employers forbid employees from taking tips. You're free to give anyone you want money in a personal capacity but in a professional capacity their ability to receive it can absolutely be curtailed by the government. There's lots of prior art here, especially around business conflict of interest. You can't tip a government employee for their service.

As a thought exercise, if you go to a restaurant today where tipping isn't permitted, you offer $10 to the server. They refuse, because their employer doesn't permit them to accept tips. What do you do? Force them to take it?

No. Use of fraud and force is not part of a free market. A free market also requires a disinterested system of contracts and enforcement of those contracts in order to work, which is what the government is needed to provide.

Free market means people can voluntarily engage in transactions without the government interfering in those transactions, such as when the government sets the price of some good.

The author doesn't make the connection explicit, but tools like Figma reduce the need for files as a means of conveying information between parties. Instead, you collaborate directly in the tool, freeing the designer from having to constantly export and send around documents, and freeing engineers from having to chase down exports. Figma also has a feature where you can "shoulder surf" another person as they work. The ability to see what others are looking at in the document leads to some interesting interactions. (You see my cursor moving in a way that indicates I'm counting the number of rows in a design; you message me and tell me it's 15.)
> google's solution was to just pay people to drive around and collect house numbers which no one is probably going to volunteer for

While Google’s Streetview cars were pretty nifty things, apparently the Streetview cars were not the source of house numbers in many countries. Instead, Google simply bought the rights to existing sources of information. National postal systems and municipalities had quietly created their own databases over the years.

People do volunteer to add house numbers to OpenStreetMap. My own city of half a million people got house numbers precisely because our local OSM club organized weekend outings where we would walk around town and add all the numbers. Then, when I moved out to the countryside, I would bicycle around to add all the house numbers for the surrounding villages.

This is not necessarily true. It depends on your environment. You can track changes to db with the right tools.

It probably comes down to the environment for other work. If the company will "pay the price" then that's okay, but if you will "pay the price" i.e. if a need to nuke everything from orbit and rebuild from backup will simply result in a lot of unpaid overtime for you, that sucks, but in that case you might prefer to do less unpaid work in your off time today instead of more unpaid work in your off time throughout the next week.

Apple’s documentation for all sorts of things is in a sorry state lately. That includes mass “retiring” of perfectly good documentation for non-deprecated things with no replacement. I wouldn’t take missing or hard-to-find documentation for any specific thing as an indication that it’s deprecated. As far as I know, Objective-C++ is as supported as ever. That is to say, it’s not exactly a banner feature, but it works fine, and there’s no reason not to use it if it’s the best solution to your particular problem. I use it in a number of places, including to expose C++ code to Swift, which doesn’t interop directly with C++.
Unreadable . Does it mention E2E? It's way past time for tech to get serious about E2E , ignoring warnings and pleas from greedy governments. People have a right to communicate without being constantly surveilled, and it's the most serious track they leave.

Excellent points, corresponding strongly with my experience.

When I've shifted to night schedules, it's almost always been because daylight hours impose too many interruptions. Even very slight distractions can be hugely distruptive, particularly over time. These range from ringing phones to various street and environment noise (traffic, voices, landscaping equipment, construction), conversations or activities elsewhere in the household or building. Conversations by those you know are exceptionally distracting, far beyond all apparent proportion. The low chatter of a cafe can be tolerable, but a significant other, manager, or co-worker having a quiet converstation nearby will grab your attention, because it could be consequential.

If you don't have full control of your workspace, you've got the added issues of insufficient working room, things not remaining where you put them, and disagreements over organisation and environment (hot/cold, light/dark, windows open/closed, music/none, metal or classical, etc., etc.). Dominion matters tremendously.

The long-term vs. speculative projects issue is one that seems to hinge on trust and communications channel quality. In-person, in-office work benefits by butts-on-seats and the fact that your manager can personally and directly verify you're working on what you said you would be. Creative and speculative work is tremendously uncertain and hard to express / quantify, both as to possible value and any potential progress being made. This is one of a number of problems under the domain of what I call "manifestation", effectively, how directly manifest, tangible, or perceptible a thing is. While direct physical labour is immediately tangible (holes enlarge, wood sawed, big rocks become little oens), intellectual challenges don't lend themselves to ready visualisation or perception. A huge amount of workplace fads over the past half century (and before) have sought to address this. Most poorly.

Finding a manager (or client) who has a good grasp of this might help. I'm really not one to claim solutions, though I think I've a handle on the problem.

And writ large, this is the problem with remote work: it's not manifest.
To be fair, going to a music festival where you know you have to give camera consent is also voluntarily. Doesn't mean you can't complain about it.
> City tax payers are ultimately paying the price for “2-day shipping” in the form of more congestion and pollution, and compromised safety.

"2-day shipping" is only a cause if it makes people order more packages in general (which it probably does, but it's a leap that should be considered rather than automatically made). The delivery companies involved are pretty efficient at this stuff and aren't going to waste money by deploying half-empty trucks, so the delivery traffic corresponds very linearly to the average total number of packages being delivered.

> Or maybe the city should tax companies that abuse the public infrastructure?

What about taxing individuals that abuse the public infrastructure by leaving cars to constantly take up street parking? Delivery companies are certainly much, much more efficient in terms of road usage and parking space needed than somebody driving a car to go buy stuff in a shop.

It always helps to consider the context. This is a personal website for Derek. You can do all kinds of crazy stuff and get away with it in this context, because you don't have to work with others.

If you're working on a big project which requires a team of people (or may grow into a team), then yeah, don't do this. Keep your systems as idiomatic, unsurprising, and consistent as possible, unless you have a very good reason not to. The less cognitive load, the easier and faster it is for others to help without making mistakes.
When pitting politeness against convenience (having the most charge in your car as is possible at any moment in time, in case you need to use it for something unanticipated), I don't have high hopes.

Yeah, if it improves welfare of the wait staff, forcing the employer to pay a living wage. The practice is discriminatory, there's lots of data that shows that the distribution of the tips is highly un-equal. The state already permits things like pooling, so it has the right to restrict tipping entirely. Further, tipped employees are allowed to be paid an absolute pittance well below minimum wage, which doubles down on the impacts of the discriminatory distribution.

Could or should are different questions, but you're intentionally reducing the conversation to something much simpler than it really is.
