Thanks. This largely made me realize most decisions behind node.js were made on-the-fly rather arbitrarily without putting too much thought into it, and help me compare and contrast it with Go. :)
I checked out Roam (thanks for the rec!) and though I REALLY love the concept, I'm a little nervous to keep a massive interconnected knowledge base with a SaaS. Currently, I use Devonthink and though it's not perfect, I'm just so relieved I can have data on my machine with the storage system I choose. I miss the days of software storing data on my computer or where I want.

As a backend engineer, I just think: "Man, this data is just sitting in a db somewhere for any engineer to grep." Until we get to a point where everything is just encrypted by default, I just can't see myself trusting software like this.
This could be extended to something like:

Ship a USB stick with the device with installer software on it.

The installer software sets up an SSH tunnel to the device, so it includes an SSH client and a script (batch) file that effectively does:
SSH -Llocalhost:<some random local port>:localhost:<installer initial port> setup@<ip address of device>

It has the known SSH signature of the device in its known_hosts, and of course the user has to type the password from the sticker on the device.

Then it fires up the browser with the url http://localhost:<local port used in previous step> which has access to the full setup of the device via the browser. It is HTTP, therefore there are no initial setup TLS issues with the browser, as you are going via an encrypted tunnel set up via SSH using HTTP encapsulated within that encrypted tunnel (effectively a temporary VPN) rather than using TLS.

As part of the setup process, the device generates a self-signed cert, which you can put in your computers/browsers trusted cert store for future use. Also as part of the setup, once the self-signed keys and certs are generated, it disables this local HTTP webserver that is being forwarded to via SSH, so in future the user can use a standard TLS connection to the device using the generated certificates. If a factory reset of the device is done, it blats its config and re-enables the 'setup' webserver (that is only running on localhost therefore can only be access locally,i.e. via SSH tunneling).
Sure he does. They actually want global regulation so they don't have to worry about pesky little things like national entities regulating their stuff and perhaps fining them some billions down the road.

If only there was a global government to lobby to it would make things so much easier legally speaking. /s

Regulation is also great to kill would-be competitors. Classic pull the ladder move.

The government should start taxing data. Just like any asset data should be listed in their financial statement per type and quantity and taxed. Derived models taxed based on the input data.
You made them cook you a second meal because the first one was picked up by the courier you hired to pick it up?!

It sounds like you’re at fault in this case, ordering from Doordash or whoever then trying to slip yourself in the middle of a transaction that is actually between the courier-and-restaurant, not you-and-restaurant

Oh, try running a Linux or BSD hypervisor and putting your desktop OS on that. Once you're decoupled from the hardware, you can start thinking about how you're going to backup or deploy your desktop configs (eg - Ansible) for your perfect WM or DE.

It's a lot easier than it sounds once you do it, but you do have to take some time surmounting the initial barrier to entry, which is mostly reading.

Remember, if you can click on it, it's probably just a wrapper around a documented utility that does the actual work. And if you can do basic webdev like HTML and CSS, you can customize your desktop through its configs.

Yup. Just look at the current most highly regulated industries: fossil fuels and power, vehicle manufacturing, finance, pharma and healthcare, water, air transportation. There aren't many startups competing with the established companies in those spaces, and it's not because there aren't things to innovate on.
The ones who stand the most to lose from the erosion of privacy in the public sphere are those in power. Power needs secrecy to survive. I brought up the case of kidnapping, but also of corporate corruption. Not to mention governmental. Yeah, losing privacy is going to suck in a ton of ways. But letting those in power dictate how we're going to lose it is a recipe for disaster. Because they will most certainly except themselves.

A large part of FreeBSD is the kernel, and another large part is userland tools that support the kernel.

FreeBSD on the Linux kernel would be a lot of work and at the end of the day, I'm not quite sure Linux needs a BSD licensed ifconfig, etc?

If FreeBSD wanted to use Linux video drivers, that could be useful, but there would need to be a stable interface between the kernel and the driver, and that interface would need to make sense for FreeBSD. Stable kernel apis is an anti-goal for Linux, so that's a non-starter; I wonder if Windows drivers could be more amenable, ala NDISWrapper; but that would also be a lot of effort, and if there were effort for FreeBSD video work, I'd imagine the intel drivers would get ported faster.
I'm British, sounds unnatural to me too. I would have said 'degree certificate' (assuming that's what it is) though, not 'diploma'.

A 'diploma' to me is a 'degree-equivalent' (as determined by government; not, perhaps, by employers) qualification offered by non-universities.
Given you use Firefox, have you considered using the built in Sync service and companion Lockwise mobile app:

I seriously considered Bitwarden not so long ago when I was looking for a password manager, and then realized I also need to maintain bookmarks across platforms and devices. Sadly Bitwarden doesn't offer that as a feature.

I'm curious if there is a differentiating feature of Bitwarden over Sync

It's a good training ground to learn to control yourself for sure. But as soon as there's filtering and up- / down-voting, you'll quickly learn that none of that matters.

I tried to engage in some Reddit discussions regarding politics in my country, and as soon as you don't follow the general sentiment, you get downvoted and eventually banned. Even if you're absolutely sincere and have good arguments as to why you think like this, you'll just get labelled a troll for disagreeing with something.
While it's very frustrating, it's also truly scary, they just end up creating their own echo chambers, only allowing people who agree with them to post or comment. Eventually this moves on to the real world where they'll assume everyone has the same opinion because they've been living in an echo chamber.
This statement is weird, though.

Like: I have a menu from the local pizza place stuck to my fridge with a magnet. The prices on the menu are cheaper than on Uber Eats, and so is cost of delivery. The only quote-unquote "problem" is I have to pick up a phone and call my order in. (Sidenote: That turn of phrase is a touch odd, when in order to use Uber Eats I'm going to, I dunno, pick up my phone?)

The point that I'm making really poorly is that I'm not confused about the cost of delivering food, I'm confused as to, generally, what the fuck it is that Uber Eats is doing and why. What value do they actually add, and why is that worth similar to or more than the actual cost of the raw ingredients to make my food?!

Honestly, it's not likely to blow up as it's likely to just slowly deflate. Doordash or grubhub or whatever (y'know, the ones that are somehow even shadier than Uber) will just cease to operate in your area. At least one company (and honestly it doesn't matter which, because they'll be the de facto standard for everyone to partner with at this point) will stay afloat per region, though, because the idea of a centralised 'what the fuck do I want to eat tonight' portal is just too enticing to too many people for every restaurant to turn down.

The real question I have about what happens if these places collapse is what happens to the virtual restaurants on the platform...
The items were stolen in 1984 and she changed her name in 1988. It also sounds like the stolen items were accessible to the public and the claim of being Alan's daughter was not done for any financial benefit. It doesn't appear that any fraud was even attempted.

I am arguing for people to be in control of their own identity. It doesn't matter whether the reason for the change is due to gender like Manning, religion like Ali, or for someone unknown reason like Turing.

Insurance and moat building. When you're that large, the best way to minimize potential risk from new legislation involving your market is to cosy up to the regulators and make sure the regulation is written in your favour. In the process, it makes sense to sway the regulation towards raising the barrier to entry for the market.

We wouldn't want a couple of software engineers in a garage somewhere to start "the next Google", now would we?
Well, also to reduce uncertainty about what the future regulatory environment will look like. If you were planning out a multi-billion dollar investment that would take years to execute, you'd want the regulation in place at the beginning when you could still plan around it rather than being surprised after you've already spent the time and money.
How did those servants live in the scorching heat then?

But yeah, the article says as much:

> Finally, the British had servants. Even common British soldiers had servants. Most of the work the British did in India was mental - writing and reading reports, making decisions, giving orders. They spent a lot of time sitting down in the shade. Nearly all of the physical work that supported British lives in India was done by Indians. Intense physical exertion, in fact, could be deadly; if a British regiment had to perform a forced march, for instance, there was a real likelihood that at least a few of the men would die.

It's a weird question. "How does one survive in the heat?" "Well, one just has servants to do all the work." Uh what?

Melanin really doesn't have anything to do with it. If it leads to a suggestion that it was somehow appropriate for the British rulers of India to have Indians do all the manual labor, because somehow Indians were "better" at it (while the British were "better" at ruling, naturally), well, of course not. The division of labor in British colonial India had nothing to do with biology, literally nothing.

That's a pretty pessimistic and quite frankly not accurate assessment of the software. They have a ton of clinical functionality, and that's what the majority of the dev/design spends their time on at their users group meeting, among other places. You might not like it, but many do.
I do not think placing self-esteem as subordinate to your finite mind, body, and ego is wise. For me, universalizing human experience and studying and concentrating on the Atman has been useful. Keep a positive attitude by remembering we’re all god-in-the-making and this self continues to be projected and manifested and always remember self-surrender.
What makes you say that, given the errors in title and body of the article?
Is the bit by bit construction of the protein an issue? I mean, surely the first half would have already folded into some shape by the time the second half was be added on? And then the rest of it would not necessarily fold the same way as if you considered the entire completed protein starting to fold from scratch.
The monorepo is actually a downside as it weaken any form of backward compatibility one could legitimately expect. The general answer in these case "rebuild", but it completely ignores binary-only software which exists in the real world and which is to a large extend completely ignored by commiters. At some point, you want to spend CPU cycle on something else than "rebuilding world".

Also, there is de-facto no competition, short of a hard fork, in the software shipped. You can't just "switch to uclibc" if an embedded platform has memory constraint.
I don't blame them - from my understanding there are certain Google Cloud services that have glaring security holes/are legitimately HIPAA violations.
They aren't innocent either but I welcome the competition in a market segment that is dominated by so few players who strangle any innovation.

> Rather, you read material like this for perspective. It's a way of training your brain to look at the same set of observations in an entirely different way. Then when you're faced with actual facts in your own life, you can apply the lens you just read about to it and see what the meaning of those facts is, and ideally shift rapidly between different perspectives to triangulate something approaching reality.

Wow, I think this last paragraph of yours manages to capture exactly what a philosophy or an ideology is for: perspectives to help create meaning.

My follow-up question then is: what makes for a "good" perspective? Can you judge it, to get back to the topic of this thread, by the number of mooks it enrolls?
No, but it makes it easier (more “high level”) when you don’t need to explicitly deallocate things, ever.
It's funny that the author chose the Hammerklavier Sonata to hold aloft, which isn't that popular even though Beethoven considered it among his best works. Reading the score for the fugue for Hammerklavier Sonata and imagining it in your head, the harmonies (especially the weird trills) are not so jarring as they come out when played on a real piano.

Similarly, the syncopated harmonic rhythm in the final movement of the last Sonata #32 (opus 111) doesn't throw you off as much when you are reading the score and have the bar lines to reinforce where the measure boundaries fall.

I speculate that if Beethoven had been able to hear those pieces played aloud, he would have made adjustments to them. I hear similar glitches in much of late Beethoven, but those two sections from those two sonatas are the ones that stay with me the most.

Thanks. I'd never considered adaptiveness of a theory before and I like it. Perhaps adaptiveness at times emerges spontaneously from simplicity / regularization. But it is good to keep it in mind from the very start.
Linear algebra can be straightforward to learn on your own, if sufficiently motivated. But homology seems altogether different. The math undergrads who see it often have a tough enough time, I can't imagine an autodidact managing.

Understand that I have to be conservative about this stuff. I'm not an engineer, so I have to assume the worst about the hazards.

Also, I do know from using any of these lamps, that a timer is a good investment, so you don't burn them out prematurely.

I used clearcase many years ago, and this thread on lobste.rs is pretty accurate and interesting. They point out that the biggest problems were exclusive checkouts, file versioning instead of changesets, and the baked in out of date assumptions about networking. Getting your configspec wrong was a common problem too.

At HP we had some in-house perl-script wrappers around the raw clearcase tools that fixed many of these problems. The developers of those scripts had all left to go work for Rational (makers of clearcase), and I don't think anyone really knew how they worked. We also had a full-time clearcase engineer that kept the servers running. Fortunately our smallish projects didn't need the full power of clearcase and those perl scripts kept working fine for us. I did alway wonder what would happen if the one guy who understood the servers left the company.

In short, it's a complex and powerful tool that very few people really understood. Very few projects need all that power and complexity. I'm sure Microsoft and Google benefit from complex version control tools and have engineers to spare for managing and understanding them, but I don't think any open source projects or smaller companies are really going to benefit from "clearcase for the modern age" type tools.
Wonder what the current status is.
Part-time PhD while working at Google: how does it work? (2018)
I agree with you, but I also think it's worth pointing out that I feel like the inverse is also true.

'Typing to people' is different to talking to them, but it has its own very real and rich reward, that I feel is different to but overlaps with talking.

That overlap means that yes, sometimes my need for connection with other people can be sustained entirely by typing, but not forever.

Along the same lines, I do not get exactly the same reward from talking to people as I do typing, and I find that after several days without spending some time thinking and typing to other people, I itch to get back and just have a back and forth about something online.

Usually, I prefer this to be something that I and the person I'm talking to agree on, and we're plumbing the depths of shared experience, but sometimes to much chagrin it definitely is 'beef'.

Sometimes I wonder if this is because the sort of people I type to online are very different to most of the people I talk to offline, but I don't honestly think that explains the whole thing.
I moved myself and the whole family to the often-mentioned Bitwarden 3 years ago. It's been fantastic.
Not a physician but I previously did "unauthorized integrations" with health care systems for doctors to get their data out of systems without APIs

Epic was by far the jankiest. i.e. if you tried to cancel a recurring appointment the wrong way it crashed the entire system. Athena and Nextech were among the least disliked
Sorry - by "own" I meant that it's in their system, a "walled garden". Any other vendor system looking to integrate has to sign business deals with Epic in addition to whatever institution is using it. I did not mean that Epic gets access to see and use that data as what seems to be a separate concern people have of Google.

It kinda is. Use your operating system to get 128 random bits, use that as a key to AES, use AES-NI instructions to generate boat loads of more bits. These instructions can generate random bits faster than RAM can store them.

Honestly, most of us mortals can operate on the assumption that thread local mt19937 PRNGs seeded with 19,937 OS provided secure bits is safe enough for secure quicksort pivot selection DOS protection, even if we can't generate crypto keys or nonces from it.

I strongly suspect that the cause of isolation is that we don't treat our workplaces as our community anymore.

And realistically, where are you going to find a stronger community than among the people with whom you spend 40 hours a week?
