> Sorry, I meant $20 per user per month. But it should be cheaper

I understood you:

The cheapest Enterprise Mobility + Security license is ~$105 per year.

A Windows user CAL is ~$10 per year. To be on-prem requires a physical server; if a $10k server lasts 6 years, thats ~$1700 a year to do more than AD but let's assume 100% of costs are for AD. Also, the Windows Server license (depending on purchase method) is ~$100 per year.

Up until 18 users, the server investment is more expensive. [18 * 10] + 100 + 1700 = 1980 versus [18 * 105] = 1890. At everything above 19 users, EMS is more expensive, 1990 vs 1995. Note that this comparison is very slanted in favor of EMS licenses. A $10k server is more expensive than most small business have and 100% of the cost isn't actually for hosting AD (domain controllers are generally lightweight and non-resource intensive). In reality, it becomes cheaper at something closer to 8 users, which covers most small businesses that are more than just a personal laptop and a point-of-sale terminal/CC machine.
That's reading too much into the lines. Apple wanted to guarantee that a central piece of software for Mac's marketing success was under their control. Maintaining a Windows version of that software adds no value to Apple's users, so they stopped developing it.

From there to "Apple bought Logic to lock people to Macs" there is a huge leap of faith. The majority of Mac uses do not use Logic, so if their goal was to lock their users to their ecosystem, this move makes no sense.

Also, there are good and often better alternatives to Logic, including Cubase, which work on all major platforms. So if you don't want to move to a Mac from Windows or Linux for the next Logic version, you have many good options.
I'm checking Gandi.net, and .site, .website and .space seems to be around 1 USD per year. They are marketing it as 95% off, but that doesn't change the fact that it's that price.
Terrorism is a permanent low-level threat but pandemics and and floods are acute and have a reasonably well-defined end. The latter justify emergency powers specific to combating the issue at hand.

Imminent invasions also justify emergency powers, but not overseas wars.

Why was the title editorialized? The article doesn’t say that. Do we have to push narrative here?
Emergent phenomena. Like how a row of toppling dominos will have a front which seems to move through the dominos, but is actually just a long chain of mostly stationary dominos. It would be odd to argue the front is a physical object.

Taking this further you might conclude that a soundwave isn't physical either. And sound is actually an examples of quasiparticles (phonons) when you get down to the quantum level.

Then again most people would be of the opinion that light propagates slower through solids like glass, but the photons in that description are quasiparticles (which have mass, unlike the photons in isolation). And quasiparticles share many properties that you'd normally expect only physical particles to have so it gets complicated.

The point of the story is that the humans should know their place. Aspiring to accomplish great things through cooperation, rather than prayer to god, is presented as hubris.

I downvoted you, because I think this is not true in general. Regulation can actually increase the freedom. It is a concept in philosophy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

And it's also not true in particular, you might happen to be in a group which benefits from given regulation. Hopefully, in a democratic society, the group that is negatively affected (if any) is as small as possible.

> Academics flat-out refuse to question each other across disciplines, practically as a matter of honour.

That's not really true. In fact, it's practically a trope that physicists and economists blithely wade into other fields; there's even an xkcd about it (https://xkcd.com/793/). However, it often turns out that people in the original field do actually know relevant stuff, which makes it hard to do this well.

For COVID, I wanted people outside the field not to shut up entirely, but to tread lightly: before trumpeting a "cubic model" or "quadratic spread" from the rooftops, do some digging to see why this very simple solution hadn't occurred to anyone else.
Yes, once you learn enough languages I feel like you just find yourself constantly wishing you had aspects of another language, pretty much regardless of what language you're using. Sometimes its directly related to the language, sometimes its something like the ecosystem surrounding it.

This is why I'm wary of "right tool for the job" when it comes to languages. In my experience usually there isn't a singular obvious right language. Maybe one is 35% right, another is 38% right, and the golden ticket language is actually just 45% right. And sometimes you won't really know until you're halfway through the project.

If you wanted a 100% singular obvious correct language, you would have to make a custom language with traits from a dozen different ones. But in the real world, the differences between languages you can actually choose from end up being not that large.
Reserve Judgement: Focus Effort on Decarbonisation Not Depletion [pdf]
Why not instead modify the test so that it more accurately measures the capabilities of interest instead?

Such as in your elevator example, make it so that the operation of the elevator is tested with a heavy load approaching the desired safety factor, and evaluating the performance under this heavier than normal load? The idea being that the only way to "cheat" is to design a better elevator that can still meet the requirements.

Of course the reason this isn't done is because of the extra cost of performing a more comprehensive test, but given how much students are paying for education, surely we could make some improvements over the status quo.

I can't help but draw comparisons to SpaceX's starship development process vs that of the more traditional aerospace manufacturers. There isn't any way for the engineers to cheat because their work is tested under the target conditions and either passes[0] or fails[1][2]. The goal being to achieve the most efficient design that still meets requirements.

You seem to be looking at it from the point of view of attacks against the domain owner.

If someone gets control of your domain, then yes, there really isn't much difference between a system where a public key in your domain's DNS records is used by clients to tell they are talking to your sites and a system where a certificate issued by LE is used for that.

As you note, once they have control of your domain they can get new certificates from LE for it.

But attacks against the domain owner aren't the only kind of attacks. There are also attacks against the domain's visitors.

Suppose Bob has an old router at home with out of date, buggy firmware that I know a remote exploit for that allows me to change his DNS settings. I change it so that instead of using the DNS servers it get from Bob's ISP via DHCP to resolve DNS requests from the LAN, it uses my DNS server.

My DNS server points your domain to one of my sites instead of yours, where I run my nefarious fake version of your site.

Under the public key on DNS server approach, it's my DNS server, so I can put a public key on it that corresponds to my keys on my fake version of your site, and everything will check out from Bob's point of view.

Under the LE approach, this does not work. To get LE to issue to me a certificate for your site, I have to get LE to use a DNS server I control to resolve your domain.

That's the difference. Under the current system to securely hijack your site I need to compromise your system, your DNS provider, your domain registrar, your ISP, or your hosting provider. Under the keys in DNS approach, I just need to compromise end users.
You have a Rose colored view of history if you believe the Trump administration is the first and only Administration to use the "Justice" dept or FBI for their political ends

>A lot of time is spent figuring out what ”types” to return.

Typescript infers return types, so even if you don't write out a return type, it will still be fully typed.

If you still want to specify the return type, you can take advantage of IDE support. Write the function without an explicit return type, then you can hover over it to see the inferred type, then copy the type.

In my preferred IDE (PyCharm), it's even easier since there's a lightbulb action for it. Alt+Enter > "Specify return type explicitly" > Enter

From the FAQ linked in the post:

"This move will provide global stakeholders more choice for their strategic open source initiatives. We believe that more choice and greater diversity will be of benefit to both the global open source communities, and for the industries that rely upon and collaborate with them. The Eclipse Foundation aspires to be a truly global institution, now with a new European home."

What does this really mean? If the move creates more choice, then what is restricting the choice today? If it creates greater diversity, what is restricting it today?

This reads like there's something they're trying to say without saying, but I don't know what I should be reading between the lines.

If the virus disappears tomorrow, the airline industry would take many months to return to its previous patterns and volumes.

But the virus will not disappear tomorrow. It will be with us for at least a year, probably two. Other pathogens will follow. Passengers and airfreight will not return to 2019 volumes in the foreseeable future.

That means fewer flights, smaller planes, point-to-point instead of hub-and-spoke. Short hops will fall even more than long-haul as people trade flying for driving.

The airline industry is inherently mal-configured for this new world, and cannot be profitable with even 20% less volume.

So the airline industry cannot, and should not, survive in its present form. But Boeing and the dinosaur carriers can't manage the re-configuration on their own because they'll keep trying to re-invent the past.

We'll trade a few massive, lethargic, inefficient and customer-hostile megacorps for many more small, nimble, innovative, clever and customer-focused niche players.

Bankruptcy, liquidation, and reorganization of the underlying assets by new entrants is the only way.

Transferring even more billions of borrowed government money to the dinosaurs only delays the inevitable.

Makes sense to be where your developers/members are.
Genuinely curious. What are these? I was hoping to find these in the article. The article talks about growing in Europe (which seems like it should be possible if the "base" is in North America but with a large EU presence) and working on "innovative new open source projects" which should be doable from anywhere.
IMO, until TypeScript gets the following features, it's not worth using:

- Native TypeScript runtime interpreter in Deno (TypeScript alternative to Node.js).

- Native TypeScript runtime interpreter in all major browsers.

- At least 20% performance improvement over plain JavaScript.

The build step has to go away because:

- Source maps are unreliable, bulky, slow and add too much complexity for some environments; many environments fail at using them correctly and this can make it difficult to debug code. Being forced to debug ugly transpiled JavaScript is unacceptable and should never happen.

- It's slow to work with. TypeScript often claims to be 'scalable' but reality is that large projects often take multiple minutes to build for every change. There are no good incremental build solutions which also do proper type checking. There is no runtime type checking.

Native browser support is also essential. The bundling step makes in infeasible to freely mix and match modules written in the two languages in a way which is debuggable.

Microsoft should look into Adobe Flash's ActionScript 3 migration from ActionScript 2 for inspiration (both based on ECMAScript spec BTW, just like JavaScript/TypeScript).
I remember ActionScript 3 clearly because it was able to deliver a 40% speedup AND runtime type checking...

In spite of these huge benefits, I remember that some developers were still hesitant to switch to ActionScript 3! This new generation of developers has clearly lost its ability for critical thinking - I find the current complete lack of resistance to TS is very strange.

There are a lot more reasons to resist JS to TS migration compared to AS2 to AS3 migration.

I remember in AS2, most people were not declaring types in their code (even though there was support for compile-time type checking). Only in AS3 people started adding Type annotations to their code.

I’m not referring to “native” as in compiles down to x86 and doesn’t need a runtime. I’m referring to native as the opposite of a cross platform framework that produces apps that don’t take advantage of the native OS’s look and feel.

While I’ve always been pro WFH occasionally, it’s great for family emergencies and some errands, WFH mostly has always confused me.

The main benefit of full WFH is that you no longer need to balance commute time against COL; you’re free to move further away or to a different city to leverage the differences in land cost. But with mostly WFH you still need to live close enough for the occasional commute and you have to foot the bill for a larger home with an office. This does not strike me as a winning combination.

Self-signed certs don't protect against active man in the middle attacks, but they do establish an encrypted channel that is secure against passive eavesdropping and after-the-fact decryption of network captures. So there's still some security benefit there.
