> In order to express ideas openly, even firmly and directly, one does not need to be explicitly RUDE to others, and apply personal insults and attacks.

The issue is that "rude" is up to whoever feels treated rudely. If you tell someone they are wrong in no uncertain words, they might consider you rude. If you sugarcoat it, you're a) lying, b) doing the community a disservice by not opposing something that you consider wrong.

> For people who seem to be deeply intellectual, ESR and Linus (though less these days) have an apalling inability to differentiate between "This is a stupid idea" and "You are a stupid person".

Funny, it always struck me that it's people who are deeply emotional who have a problem with it. If you're emotional, you will feel personally attacked and aren't able to put that aside and deal with the issue at hand. If you're intellectual, you will notice the insult, but it will not dominate your take-away, and you will easily be able to address it if you think it's necessary (hint: it's not) and move on to the content. If you're playful, you might just add something similar in your response. If you just want to lighten the mood, you'll make a joke. And then you move on and address the issue they were talking about, because there's usually an issue in there, they aren't just saying "no, you're dumb" just because, they are saying "no, you're dumb, because you're doing xyz".

> They seem to revel in additional personal attacks on other people rather than engaging in a free marketplace of open ideas, and their behaviour has been unchecked for decades because they are brilliant and their contributions are meaningful.

I believe you're putting way too much weight on the insults here. I don't think that Linus sits there and laughs all day because he "owned some noob". More likely, he fires of an email and moves on with his life, the insult not being something that brings him a lot of pleasure, but just a part of his communication style. Not a sadist that wants to see other people experience pain and emberrassement but somebody who has little concern for the feelings of the recipients of his outbursts, either because he himself doesn't mind being called an asshat or because he believes that the stakes are too high to hold back.

> It also turns out that you don't HAVE to be a jerk

I agree if what you're trying to say is "there are highly-productive people that are not jerks". I strongly disagree if you're trying to say "you can choose whether you are a jerk or not, and you don't have to choose being a jerk".
No, it's not. The paper chooses SGX because it's easy to write a PoC against, but there's nothing in it limiting it to SGX. (It's a general technique against any kind of memory load in a privileged context.)
> And the Citroen DS19.

I've long dreamed about a project: rebuild a DS from the ground up but with a modern engine (or even electric), run the hydraulics using electronics rather than the system in use based on Mercedes S class parts. Use an original Chassis, make all the panels out of fibreglass. But that requires a lot of space and time to complete. Still, by far the most beautiful car ever made, I always felt that if Citroen had really caught the retro wave that gave us the New Beetle and the Fiat 500 that it would have been a best seller.

1% might be the case fatality rate, but it's likely at least an order of magnitude higher than the real mortality rate. With estimates of asymptomatic / minor symptoms people above 80%, most infections are not being recorded as cases.

Little Things I Like to Do with Git (2017)
It's not poor and misguided. For example, VSCode has first-class support for JSONSchema giving you auto-complete and things like drop-own boxes for arbitrary project JSON config. It's better done and more mainstream than any other solution I've seen compared to people saying "well technically you could build that for <pet format>."

If you want comments, pipe it through json5 first or something. VSCode again supports comments as a courtesy. More tools that use JSON are starting to as well.

It's just not a big deal.
The problem isn't limited to SGX; it's just that nobody has tried it against e.g. the kernel. If someone figures that out you're going to be seeing that performance hit come there, too.
I certainly doubt you to be lying, but you are wrong afaik.

There are certainly shared rooms in a university in the UK (at least were ~10 years ago and doubt has changed). However it was a handful of students in shared halls rooms (in big old houses etc) compared to a population that must have been a few thousand. It was cheaper, and some people thought sharing a room would help make friends.

I remain dubious.
I agree that inside an atomic, small-ish, teams titles should be meaningless and skipped.

But in bigger companies there is actually some use to the title, when you look someone up in another team you want to know who are you talking to in advance. From my experience this is not something rare or esoteric an actual need.

Add to that the fact that somekind of leveling is usually needed, both for salary ranges and for promotions, so even if you skip the bloated title you'll still have someone's level.

How some good corporate engineering blogs are written
We rarely use containers for our deployments because you can get the same features that containerization provides by other means. The biggest issue with containers is the stability of Docker both the operational stability of containerd and the API stability with the tooling (like to rename command-line switches). As far as Kubernetes goes, my problem is visibility. I have very limited knowledge about what the containers are doing, the provided metrics that you can access are much less than I need to try to operate a k8s cluster. Once you need to look at the actual host-level metrics (CPU, IO, mem, ...) you need to have a map of what runs where. One of the reasons people are pushing for k8s is that you do not actually need to know what runs where.

As far as complexity goes, I would much rather have a nodes where a single application is running and using 100% of resources (instead of having containerd or k8s services running) and do simple autoscaling, having access to host-level metrics that I can map back to applications easier than use Docker, k8s & co. Maybe is it only me, but I care about efficiency. Why waste energy?

The counter-argument is that developer time is more valuable than setting up clusters or autoscaling groups. Well, this breaks down when you have SRE team(s) maintaining the k8s clusters (literally every company I worked for). If you already have SRE people either embedded into your dev teams or separately then you can just build out a CI/CD pipeline that produces that production setup based on blueprints. We usually use Terraform and Ansible with tempalte variables (stage = test|qa|prod, cluster size = x, version = y) that makes it easy for everybody to provision clusters on their own. Does this mean more work than k8s deployments? Yes. Does this mean we have less complexity we need to care about? Yes. In my experience containerization is a development tool to make it extremely easy to achieve fast development cycles but right now the accidental complexity to take that with you to production is not worth it. There are very nice projects like LXC/LXD that I would consider using for security separation and resource management but we usually have clusters where 100% of resources go to a single services. Example: Hadoop cluster, Elasticsearch cluster, Web application (mostly API) clusters. I need to care about the underlying hardware because of financial reasons (what is the cheapest node type I can use to run workload X). k8s would not help here.

To sum it up: I do not think that the industry has decided on this. I also think that we are in the era of wasteful computing which will be finished soon because of reliability and unnecessary CO2 production reasons. Running containers has to be much less fragile and efficient to be considered the way to scale applications. I personally think that Firecracker is a step in the right direction in this while Docker & k8s in the wrong direction.
Aspnetcore Razor pages is basically web forms with cshtml, if you ask me...
It really depends where you are. In much of the south the healthcare standards are not that great.
The only way something like this would work would be the OS treating the heterogeneous compute resources as "first-class citizens" and part of the normal OS scheduling and resource management. I don't think any production OS today does that.

And just after I write it, an article on AMD's work on ROCm pops up.

Exciting times.

> It's not poor and misguided. For example, VSCode has first-class support for JSONSchema giving you auto-complete and things like drop-own boxes for arbitrary project JSON config.

That's just tooling compensating for the shortcomings of a format being shoehorned into a use-case that falls outside of it's scope.

It's the XML nonsense all over again.

> It's better done and more mainstream than any other solution I've seen compared to people saying "well technically you could build that for <pet format>."

That's the same short-sighted line of argument that was used to force the mistake of using XML everywhere.

There are right tools for the right job. JSON os the right tool for a lot of jobs, but config files is not one of them.
The readme shows it runs as SYSTEM which means it can write to disk and make network calls, etc.
I even prefer JSON over TOML because JSON is simple. TOML has arbitrary rules like how `table = { foo = bar }` can't be multiline, and all that time you spend debugging your attempts at its nested table syntax, you could've just intuitively nested some dictionaries in JSON.

For, Then Against, High-Saturated-Fat Diets
Many of the mild infections will never be known about (and thus never be counted as a case at all). There may have been no symptoms, or the symptoms may have been minor enough that the person thought it was a cold. Because of this the case fatality rate is a terrible metric to use to try to estimate expected deaths, or your own risk if you contract the virus.
> The Italian PM has specifically asked them to tone down their reporting as it was causing panic.

That doesn't mean they are being untruthful, though.
This is quite true. About a decade ago GFW was a simple IDS that occasionally sent RST packets down the pipes. Nowadays it's much more complicated. I've witnessed the GFW upgrade in process several times in which they default to drop every cross border connection over port 80 but allow everything else through, then gradually going back to normal one route at a time.

However I'm not sure if the GFW is the blame for every case of passive throttling. Certain provinces have it better than others and there is no obvious pattern, especially CMCC which constantly have issues connecting to domestic services, but otherwise has very little throttling once you know how to get past the GFW. The same cannot be said for other providers which throttles home users extra hard so their capacity can be sold to business customers.

> what “second order thinking” is (awareness or consideration of the consequences of consequences)

This is a valid interpretation of the term. Another, more specific interpretation is "including other minds in your mental model," e.g., when you're imagining the results of your actions, you don't just include actions and reactions of a mechanical nature. You also consider other agents, their values, and their resources.

Well if MIT/Stanford/Harvard are what they are because of the elitism of getting to study there, and the branding-power it brings to one's resume, it kinda seems obvious they will have 0 interest in have an unlimited supply of students/graduates, which surely would diminish/affect the branding power on a resume of any of those universities programs, if literally a lots of new graduates could be graduating from those schools.

Elitism works in a limited setting, probably not in an limited/open setting...

well. the process that contains the JS engine can. The JS engine itself seems to be limited to what JS engines in browsers can normally do, so no intentional file system access.

However as the README says, this is a custom built implementation, built by a company who believes running a JS engine with SYSTEM privileges is a good idea. This means that there are probably exploits available and those do get full access to the system as the highest privileged user.

> Because the flight windows are so far apart, I interpreted it to mean that Vincent, once there, was set. They couldn't really send him back even if they wanted to.

Why would they need to send him back? Just imprison him in Titan. Also, society is based on genetics - where you work, where you live, who you date, etc. How did Vincent expect to live on Titan without Jerome's samples? I think the answer is he never intended to live on Titan because he knew he'd die on the way to Titan. We know that his heart can't handle the journey ( treadmill scene ).

> What would people say when someone found Jemore, alive or his corpse, in the home on Earth?

The same thing the cop said after questioning the wheelchair bound Jerome. Apologize after Jerome berated him and demanded his badge number. Besides, given your point about the flight window, what would it matter? Why would Jerome need to cover for him when Vincent's set on Titan?

I think that Jerome always intended to kill himself from the very beginning ( we know he's suicidal because he's in a wheelchair because of a failed suicide attempt ). Not to "cover up" for whoever he was helping, but because "Jerome wasn't meant to be 2nd place". In the incinerator, "2nd place Jerome" and his silver medal are no more. I also don't think he help vincent for the money or for vincent's sake though they developed a friendship towards the end. We know he was bitter at society ( and himself ) and I think he wanted to screw society once before offing himself.

In the end, it's two people dying to escape their "identity". One trying to erase his "invalid" identity and the other trying to erase his "2nd place" identity. And both perishing in the process.

In estimating the real fatality rate of this virus as 1%, there is a built-in assumption that all infections have been reported as cases, which seems wildly optimistic. Given that >=80% of infections may be asymptomatic or have minor symptoms, it's very likely that the case fatality rate is much higher than the real fatality rate.

> It troubles me that Chesterton charges the man who would tear down the fence with a duty: "Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it." ...When we contemplate changing the rules of society, the archive needs to contain more than just the justification of the new rules, analogous to the purpose of the fence. The defeated opposition must also have their place in the records.

I don't think those are mutually exclusive. As a maintainer, I insist that commit messages which fix things contain loads of information about the problem they're fixing; and in my own commit messages I often include references to other possible approaches and why this one was chosen, to make the "Chesterton's Fence" challenge easier to deal with.

But if you find a bit of code doing something that looks unnecessarily conservative, and the original commit message from 10 years ago doesn't explain why, it's still a risk to remove the checks; and it's still right to insist that an attempt be made to go back and find out why things were done that way in the first place.

In a sense, the second is the reason I do the first. The pain of trying to reconstruct from 10-year-old email conversations the purpose of a given line of code is what motivates me to insist that commit messages contain all that information in the first place.

Similarly, the difficulty of going back to find out why a law was enacted in the first place should be a motivation for people to insist that we store that information for the future.
