Time for some savvy US entrepreneurs to spin up a TikTok alternative..
I don't remember it this way at all. Git always had the halo of the tool kernel devs use, written by Linus himself. There was no escaping this.

Mercurial slowness was never a problem for me, and these were the times before SSD! It probably was slower but I used it on some pretty large codebases (NetBeans) and it was fine.

BitBucket was much better for me than GitHub because it offered free private repositories with 5 users, which just happens to be enough for a small team/company/startup.

Sun Microsystems picked Mercurial for OpenJDK/NetBeans/etc, Mozilla was on Mercurial.

I'm still puzzled how Git won because in my bubble it was a tool with much worse commands and 'metaphors' compared to Mercurial.

I think it's a big loss for the industry that we are all (me included) on git.
Why should I care (assuming I'm a designer). If I make my column the correct width it would work no matter the size of the browser window. If they want to narrow it to the same size as the column they'd just see the column. But for those who didn't want to do that having the column helps them as well.
I don't have a full list, but generally the Toronto office has the following types of software roles: (1) Quartus compiler - this is what takes a digital circuit netlist and tries to map it in an optimal way to the FPGA hardware - doing things like clustering, placement, routing, etc. Lots of very interesting optimization problems. Hardware knowledge is helpful but not required, it's much more important to be able to reason about algorithms and write efficient C++ code to implement them. (The team I'm hiring for is a part of this group). (2) High-level design - basically, how can we make FPGA programming accessible for software engineers who know nothing about hardware? This involves a bunch of compiler work to translate C-like languages (or even higher-level constructs, like machine learning models) automatically to a hardware circuit description, at which point the Quartus compiler from #1 above takes over. Again, hardware knowledge is optional, ability to reason about compilers / algorithms is key. (3) Device modeling - how can we model all of the enormous complexity of a real physical device (with all of its complex timing and power characteristics) into a simplified software model that the Quartus compiler can then use efficiently? Other than these 3 main groups, there are others (e.g. working on specific hardware pre-built blocks that customers can use right away, or working on combination of hardware / software / embedded firmware to make it easier to interface between FPGAs and modern memory microchips).

>WireGuard has anything to offer that would motivate a switch.

A lot slicker in my experience. Instead of support everything it assumes both sides speak wireguard. Increases speed, reconnects faster etc.

...whether I'd break an existing setup for it...probably not.

Depends if we're looking at bytes or requests count. I don't see the latter being overly skewed for any site.
This seems to suggest they won't recommend a product if they can't make an affiliate deal off of it, which is not the case. Yes, they make money through these links, but I've not seen a case of them not referring to a good product because it is not available on a store they have an affiliate deal with. And if the product is their chosen product and no affiliate deal is there, they link to the brand store or other retailer.
Tried this, you will encounter a ton of sites that assume you are a bot. You will find it annoying to browse quite a few sites. Some will outright refuse to work.

@dang Would it be possible for the "Who is hiring?" and similar to display all items in a single page (instead of "more" at the bottom of the page) as it is easier to do a textual search. Thanks.
Encryption is worthless without properly enforcing it. How easy is it to trick your victim's bank into granting you access with a SIM swap? We need 2FA everywhere and stop relying on SMS for authentication.
I understand what you're saying, but in an actual conflict with a modern nation I'd argue that the role you describe would be hard to fulfill when the carrier is targeted by any number of modern armaments and is quickly relocated to the ocean floor.

Basically the usual ones that end up with copying the modified files to a temporary directory and doing a fresh clone followed by a manual merge and commit, because someone messed up their local repository while trying out some git command beyond clone/pull/push/checkout/commit, and now cannot push without messing everyone's else.
Meatspace is a lost cause. So you must blend in. Just do whatever you must to get along.

But online, there's still a chance. As in Vinge's True Names. You hide your uplink using nested VPN chains and Tor. And then do whatever you want. Using as many unlinked personas as you like.

I'm an experienced director looking for new opportunities. I've spent most of my career in health tech startups, so I have a lot of experience with healthcare integrations, but also domain knowledge like billing codes, HEDIS measures, HIPAA compliance, etc. I would love a position where I can utilize this experience, but am not locked in to health tech. I have a lot of tolerance for decrepit systems, and find the challenge of making their data available to those who need it an enjoyable experience. I'm a big proponent of async work culture, so I'm seeking remote leadership positions (management if you're fully distributed, or IC), for the right opportunity (> director level, top IC on a new and exciting project, great learning opportunity) I will commute to an office. Contract work considered on a case-by-case basis. If any of this sounds like you, please get in touch. You can book time with me directly at https://bbhoss.io/hireme
> In the book I argue that there's a big shift going on--not only an economical shift, but also geopolitical and social. And this is going to be a surprise for a lot of people, but this shift is coming from social credit systems and the establishment of a new economic model based on social behavior.

I'm glad to see you chimed in here with this additional detail, because after reading the overview:

> There’s currently a geopolitical arms race taking place to merge biotech and infotech to hack humankind. Technological disruption is creating an unprecedented realm of opportunities for authoritarian regimes to flourish.

...I got the impression that you thought the main issue with mass data collection was somehow to provide an advantage in biological engineering, when the most obvious advantage seems to me to be analysis of human behavior such that it can understood (to the best of our current but ever improving capabilities) and shaped in various ways. Some of the shaping techniques may be considered (by Westerners) to be nefarious I imagine, but I see no reason why such shaping has to be nefarious, but rather if done properly, may very well be in a way that can be overwhelmingly aggregate net positive to those being shaped.

I've been thinking about how in the long term an authoritarian China with a fully modern technological surveillance state coupled with wise leadership and a (correspondingly) supportive citizenship might have a massive advantage over traditional democracies. The typical thinking on the matter seems to be roughly: because all historic authoritarian states eventually collapsed while democracies tended to flourish, then therefore a completely risk-free assumption can be made that this pattern will persist into the future, always and everywhere, without exception, and therefore there is absolutely no need to consider the possibility that this historic pattern may not materialize. To me, this seems like very dangerous thinking based on extremely poor logic.

I'm curious what your thoughts are on the matter, and whether this is a theme you touch upon in your book.
Hi! Could you send over that listing? We believe it's connected to the scam mentioned in the article. I would appreciate any information you have on hand.
I knew a guy who I always thought was basically the opposite of clinically depressed - I thought of him as "clinically happy".

In some ways I was a bit jealous of how he never seemed to let things get to him. But on the other hand, he would let certain aspects of his life fall apart in ways that seemed to me his perpetual good humor perhaps didn't allow him to address. If he had felt a bit more discomfort I think he would have taken a different path from time to time and ultimately wound up in a better place overall.

That's a pretty weak argument. If you already have malware on your computer with enough privilege to change shortcuts then it's game over already.

> > An index is much easier to use.
>
> Why? I don't miss it in hg. I use it in git, but it mostly feels like it's an extra thing to remember. Yet most git users agree with you, so I'd like to understand why.

With `hg record`, if anything goes wrong, I have to start over. That can be extremely frustrating.

With `git add -e/-p` I can quit at any time and leave the things that were OK in the index while I take time to think about how to "absorb" the rest, or even commit what I have now and then go about dealing with the rest.

The index not only gives me the ability to do that sort of thing, but it also lets me get atomicity -- no matter what happens in the workspace, the index stays as I left it until I either add more to it or commit it or reset it.

That part really is wonderful. I don’t show it in the guide, but I’ve set up three peers now, and my config file is still just 15 lines long (including headers), and once you wrap your head around what AllowedIPs means in the two different contexts, it’s really easy to read.
AirPods Pro Review: They’re Great (and Expensive)
Facebook has released a TikTok clone, Lasso, but they miss a lot of basic things that made TikTok popular, both from a policy perspective and from UX. It's much less competitive than Instagram's cloning of Snapchat.

Initially Lasso only supported registering with a Facebook account, defaulting to exposing your real name to the world. TikTok let you browse anonymously and register with just a phone number or email account, letting users protect their identities much easier. Lasso now allows you to register with an Instagram account.

Lasso has much worse video quality-- seemingly SD vs HD, presumably to save bandwidth, but it makes videos much less appealing since they're noticeably blurrier. This may be because Lasso decided to show me Spanish videos for no apparent reason (or maybe that's where their users are?), and most Spanish-speaking countries have predominantly Android phones which have worse video quality.

The infinite scrolling feels worse because videos fade in from black instead of displaying their first frame while scrolling into view. The feed isn't actually infinite, but refuses to load past a certain point. You can't swipe right from the feed to view a user's profile.

Regarding censorship, I'm not convinced ByteDance's Chinese style "ban anything contentious" censorship is actually a downside for most teen users. Instagram has _very_ loose censorship policies, which easily allow the feed to become very sexualized. I expect this makes younger users feel less comfortable posting publicly-- Instagram is where the bikini models and their followers hang out!-- while TikTok's more carefully curated space feels age-appropriate. That may all be network effects, though, with social networks as always being colonized first by the young.

As someone else said it's a move to appease Congress -- but also the Air Bosses who lose several of their F-18s to tanker duty as well as the F-18 crews who HATE the tanker duty. I imagine the E-2D crews will be cautiously watching to see just how much ISR gear will be fitted to the MQ-25 in the name of "since it's on board, and since it's going to do a lot of loitering aloft while waiting to tank someone about to bingo, let's see how well it does in a limited ISR role..."

After that it will be "What if we put a Wescam Ball and AESA array on an MQ-25?" At that point the E-2D program will be in jeopardy.

For the same reason that BD won over HD-DVD: «Greater capacity tends to be preferred to better UX», except in this case it's performance rather than capacity.
According to St. Thomas Aquinas, no you cannot, because the immortal soul presupposes a participation in the infinite and eternal. Aristotle made this clear, which St. Thomas then expounds on:

"Man’s ultimate happiness consists in the contemplation of truth, for this operation is specific to man and is shared with no other animals. Also it is not directed to any other end since the contemplation of truth is sought for its own sake. In addition, in this operation man is united to higher beings (substances) since this is the only human operation that is carried out both by God and by the separate substances (angels). (Summa Contra Gentiles, book 3, chapter 37)

and

It is impossible for any created good to constitute man’s happiness. For happiness is that perfect good which entirely satisfies one’s desire; otherwise it would not be the ultimate end, if something yet remained to be desired. Now the object of the will, i.e., of man’s desire, is what is universally good; just as the object of the intellect is what is universally true. Hence it is evident that nothing can satisfy man’s will, except what is universally good. This is to be found, not in any creature, but in God alone, because every creature has only participated goodness. Therefore, God alone can satisfy the will of man, according to the words of the Psalms (102:5): “Who alone satisfies your desire with good things.” Therefore, God alone constitutes man’s happiness.” (Summa Theologica Part 2. Q.1. Article 8)
I agree that we need 2FA and that we shouldn't rely on SMS. That said, saying encryption is worthless because other threat vectors exist is a bit hyperbolic. Security is all about defense in layers. There's several orders of magnitude difference in the difficulty of performing a SIM swap attack vs sucking up passwords on coffee shop wifi.
443/UDP is used for HTTP/3 (aka QUIC), and is pretty quickly becoming ubiquitous – and OpenVPN also supports UDP, so if the port is open for TCP, it might well also be open for UDP.
