But the point is you are not doing physics, you are at best tweaking some pre existing model.

I did it in the past while consulting for a major bank, I studied CS, not physics, and I haven't seen any applied physics in banks.

They hire young people studying physics because they are not scared of working "with numbers", but when you past 40 you're not scared of anything anymore and you'll find there a majority of people with a degree in economy, once you grasped the basics, you can do the job.

While the physics student hopes to be a real physicist someday in the future and stop working on trading models as soon as somethings better comes up.

Exactly. Alas, that’s what we’re seeing in Eastern Europe right now. Hungary being the best example, Poland also though luckily slightly less so. I wouldn’t call it Fascism specifically, more like conservative authoritarianism, but still.

I use the remote control you can add to the Control Center. It can be used without unlocking the phone, and some time ago they finally added a feature that makes the remote controls available immediately (if the phone has gone to sleep while the remote was active) just by raising the phone to wake it. Feels like an actual remote now, to the point that I no longer bother searching for the real remote and just use my phone all the time. The pop up-keyboard and keychain access to automatically input passwords are also nice.
I can't tell. I run Firefox at home, and set up my own DoH server (mainly because I saw the writing on the wall and and if Mozilla/Google are going to shove this down my throat, I want it shoved down on my terms, but I digress). If I visit my blog (which has a DNS TTL of 86,400) I get a query for my domain not only on every request, but even if I just hover over the link. It will also do a query when I click on a link to news.ycombinator.com (with a TTL of 300) but not when I hover over a link. It's bizarre.

Trying to see this from the users’ perspective, why does me being secure require a completely different UI? Why can’t all the security patches for the latest version of Windows be ported back into _my_ version instead of me having to learn a new operating system?

I was thinking more or less of the same question. Our intuition of what a particle "is" has a lot to do with how we perceive macroscopic objects. But particles are not really the same kind of thing. Or are they? Is their size correlated with their mass? Do particles consists of some "fundamental matter" or are they more like little machines?

Sorry but as shameful and embarrassing (and kind of funny) the situation is, the article doesn’t mention anything from typewriters and fax.
I’ll leave it to someone else to explain to you how a .gitmodules file or a source tarball URL with a hash is a lockfile equivalent, or how “c, c++” isn’t a package manager, or how Debian do intact use several methods or specifying locked dependencies in a file format (a lockfile, if you will).

Most build environments do have lockfiles. And, just to clarify, that doesn’t have to be a specific dedicated file. It has to be something that can be versioned alongside the code, so each build gets the exact same set of dependencies and updates are explicit commits.

This basic principle is a requirement for anything serious (I.e something with customers). I’m sorry that this statement hit a nerve for you, but it’s true. In fact in some industries it’s a legal requirement.

And no, a dodgy third party plugin that hasn’t been updated in a year isn’t a good solution.

it would but it wouldn't solve the problem. This would require the developer to modify electron and basically run his own branch. It would then make your package possibly acceptable (but attention here: as Apple clearly stated keeping too use private APIs can get you banned so if you miss something you can lose your access to the apple store) leaving however everyone else using electron with the same problem. So the solution has to come from Electron.
I dont think this is required. Every language has some rules but more importantly control structures which are identical but have difference in syntax. ie, take Foreach loop, I almost every time confirm the foreach's language specific syntax. Try jumping b/w php, java, python, js in same day multiple time.

so i will say remembering it is not necessary, but definitely handy thing.

I know many public and/or regulated services use Windows because of regulatory constraints. Is that the case here too? I do not want to be that guy, but if not, for what the courts use this and if it's not regulatory, a chromebook or linux distro booting straight into OpenOffice would work well. You cannot say 'people don't know how to operate it' as for this kind of work it is trivial (as is proven by this being replaced by a typewriter). It would even work on the same machine aka no hardware cost.

So it has to be regulatory?

This depends a lot on the databases used and flexibility of the code that's accessing the data.
One method is to deploy in multiple stages and to use views. In pre-deploy you create a view with schema/data needed for the release. In deploy stage you roll-out the canary code. In post-deploy stage remove either the old data/schema on success or new data/schema on failure.
It's quite an overhead to implement and maintain this process.
Welcome to the new and shiny version of anti-intellectualism: where the only purpose of education is to get a job and the value of a job is determined by how lucrative it is. Now scale that up to the level of an economy and you have a basic idea of how we live in a materially-rich and intellectually-poor culture.

In some sense, this was inevitable when universities opened up to the general population, rather than their original limited participation among the upper classes and very academically-focused individuals. At this point, the best path forward is probably to entirely decouple "skills-based" (i.e. lucrative) training programs from "education-based" programs. Otherwise, anything that isn't economically-valuable will eventually lose funding - which has already happened for fields like philosophy or literature.

I do know just that for apps I ship.

Personally I'd be worried that the easy-to-extract Saudi oil is about to run out and the Saudis know that and that's why they're selling. They run a fairly tight ship and might be capable of suppressing the truth about their oil reserves.
There is a very valid reason for an API to be kept private, if it's based on internals that are too hardware-specific and you don't want to break compatibility when/if you update the hardware (so a higher-level abstraction is needed and that is in the public API) is a very fair one. Core Animation might fall into that or it might not but it doesn't necessarily is a conspiracy to keep 3rd party apps in the mud.

When you consider that Windows has to keep backwards compatibility with applications from decades ago using whatever calls to Win32, to the point of keeping comments in the source code about why some call is done that way and shouldn't be changed then it's pretty fair that a company providing a platform wants to keep a tidy, secure (or at least following their guidelines for security/privacy concerns) public API.

The Java community had a huge debacle about `sun.misc.Unsafe`, it was a private API being abused by numerous libraries[0] and when its removal was announced there was a quite big backlash about its repercussions.

I don't think that Apple is evil because of its enforcement on private APIs, there might be other issues with this enforcement but there are very valid reasons to do it.

> Why would you sell your goose that lays golden eggs?

Well, if the goose is currently valued at the net present value of the original income stream, it does make sense to sell if its income stream is going to falter. That's a simple case of selling something for more money than it's worth.
It reminds me a bit of the spanish conquistadores, who after entering a new island declare the new law (in spanish) and punish every (non-spanish speaking) inhabitant who fails to comply.

It is just so obviously wrong to treat your users like this, the only way to cope with it is literally to take on a mindset that devalues the users (”If they are stupid enough, they deserve it”) or to downplay the impact assymetrical information practices have on the society (Post-Privacy: “You have nothing to hide anyways”).

What it all boils down to is, that you make someone consent to something they don’t understand and that they might not consent to if you put it to them in clear understandable terms. Add nudging and other dark patterns on top and you are going into evil territory.

But no one wants to be evil, so they try to paint an utopia that fits their behaviour, rather than making their behaviour fit an utopia. This is a problem because as the russian writer puts it:

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”

(Fyodor Dostoevsky)
So how do you write fire-and-forget systems? Typewriters can't become hopelessly insecure by leaving the typewriter sit on a shelf for a year. On the other hand, you can't leave a Linux box unattended for more than a couple months before it's hopelessly insecure. Is the solution unikernels, or what? I think we'll have to find ways to make software that stands the passage of time a bit more.

I feel like it's really hard to build software that survives on its own for even a tiny bit of time. Are we in an era that will leave no usable artifact behind?

It’s strange that people seem to have assumed that I want to confiscate all inheritances. I just think inheritance taxes should form some part of an efficient and fair tax system, as they do in many countries, but not mine. Do you feel that inheritance taxation implies a greater form of “state ownership” than the compulsory taxes on labour imposed during your lifetime? For me, it feels like the opposite.
It goes both ways, a vicious circle.

TTLs aren't respected -> people try lowering them even more.

This would be even more ridiculous.
This is just a phrasing of a sentence in a mail. It does not define either what reasons they are allowed to ban you for, nor does it define what reasons they will use to ban you.

They are allowed to ban you for literally any reason. What matters is what they do, not the exact phrasing in a random email.

And in practice, they will ban you if you actively try to skirt their rules after they tell you to cut it out.

Comments like this, especially when someone in the thread has already asked for alternatives, isn't particularly useful. On the contrary, it is the coward's approach of shutting down other people position but not be willing to stake out one of your own to likewise be subject to scrutiny.

I've already outlined the many ways in which Ubiquiti was not a reasonable player on this and other posts, their deliberate GPL violations that exposed users to added vulns was covered in the initial post about their spyware. I'll take it a step further and posit that Ubiquiti has done little to nothing in good faith.

Their offerings are largely thin veneers over open source software with minimal engineering effort (likely because Ubiquiti has little to no actual engineering staff). Look at the packet corruption bugs in the switches, the overheating, or the RADIUS issues that their WiFi gear has (and Ubiquiti has zero knowledge on how to debug). For fucks sakes Ubiquiti shipped their EdgeRouter lineup with an EOL'd version of Debian for ages (specifically the MIPS support had been EOL'd and Ubiquiti largely didn't build or ship security updates). EdgeOS, of course, is merely a thin HTML based wrapper on top of Vyatta (and an exceedingly buggy one for a while).

I don't think there are a ton of great options (although NetBSD on the Oceteon hardware seems like a good solution) once you've restricted yourself to that price point. Lack of better options doesn't mean that Ubiquiti is good or reasonably behaved.

Kinda but IMO it does it the wrong way. Using a special browser is certainly not mainstream compatible. And blocking ads can't be the solution. This is possible since years and it didn't change the system. Donations via flattr and the like are also nothing new and didn't change the system either. Its the walled garden problem again the internet will never accept one party as the right so everyone will use this and therefore every website only has to implement this. Flattr for example was a cool idea but since it can only be used on sites who implemented this it can not scale. There is absolutely no chance that the majority of all websites will use it. And if it would happen it would be very bad. A single company would have way way too much power then. We need an open standard that allows value transfer on protocol level. So everyone can agree on the same tech and different payment provider can share the market and compete against each other. The Interledger Protocol may be the solution to this. ILP is for value what IP is for data.

That's not true - Windows 95/98 will crash on startup if you have more than one CPU core present. You could make it work on Pentium D/CoreDuo/Core2Duo cpus by disabling the second core, but nowadays with modern CPUs there's no option to limit the CPU to a single core. Unless there is some workaround for it that I'm not aware of.
