This applies to ops as well. Most problems we look at have been solved before so it's a case of identifying and integrating (aka opinioinating) the solution not necessarily creating something from scratch.
There's no such "filesystem caching" phenomenon on macOS Mojave and earlier, so that theory falls apart rather quickly. There's also the consistent difference between timing results with internet connection enabled vs disabled.

I'm not sure why you couldn't reproduce the delay. There are several possibilities I can imagine, but these could only be proved or disproved by more testing. In any case, many people have reproduced the delay, on close to "factory default" Mac installs.
> Why not use PostgreSQL instead? It supports a JSON document data type natively.

Yes, that's the thing, it's just a field type. It's not really that different than dumping your JSON in a TEXT column. MongoDB is fun because it's truly JSON - BSON - so you don't have to run migrations, you can store complex documents, and have a more object oriented way of storing your data than SQL.
Honestly it's not a bad idea. Erlang is not a language that is easy for an experienced engineer to pick up and quickly create maintainable code.
It appears as if OS X will revert to using an IP address if a domain lookup fails according to the thread we had on this issue yesterday.

Would it be possible to share these scripts? I would love to see them, they sound really helpful/useful
I can’t decide if I hate that more or less than what I’ve seen: client-side blocking of DNS resolution and driving all queries through Cisco Umbrella or friends.

I guess they both suck pretty hard.
Sometimes, the zero page is available to your C program. For example, your C code could be part of the Linux kernel's boot code, or could be running on embedded hardware.
Yeah, HN's classic cynicism is in full effect here. The truth is that companies are made of people and very often the people just want to make a good thing that's nice and works well.

My favourite is Gusto. Why is Gusto so good? I only use it twice a year or so, the guy buying it isn't the guy using it, and the principal value in their business is integrations not UX. Well, Gusto is good because they want to be good. I'm happy with that explanation.
I’m curious, is there a reason to use image capture when you can just AirDrop the images? Does Image Capture give you the HEIC format file or something?
I always thought the two words are synonyms. (That belief somehow survived decades of philosophical reading, media, and more than a few moral/political philosophy courses.) Here in Australia, liberty sounds like a USA word. We talk of civil liberties etc, but not liberty on its own like that. That sounds 18th C and/or estadounidense.

Your distinction sounds like (what I learnt as) Berlin's negative and positive liberty:

"Negative liberty is the absence of obstacles, barriers or constraints. One has negative liberty to the extent that actions are available to one in this negative sense. Positive liberty is the possibility of acting — or the fact of acting — in such a way as to take control of one's life and realize one's fundamental purposes. While negative liberty is usually attributed to individual agents, positive liberty is sometimes attributed to collectivities, or to individuals considered primarily as members of given collectivities."

"The idea of distinguishing between a negative and a positive sense of the term ‘liberty’ goes back at least to Kant, and was examined and defended in depth by Isaiah Berlin in the 1950s and ’60s."

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/liberty-positive-negative...

That article goes on:

"Many authors prefer to talk of positive and negative freedom. This is only a difference of style, and the terms ‘liberty’ and ‘freedom’ are normally used interchangeably by political and social philosophers. Although some attempts have been made to distinguish between liberty and freedom (Pitkin 1988; Williams 2001; Dworkin 2011), generally speaking these have not caught on."

Ah that's what I thought!

Also, referring to your other comment, if a "despot can do whatever he wants to you or to your family", like disappear you in the night, and it's not a loss of security, I'm not sure what you mean by 'security'.
The reason I mention it is because running a foot-long ribbon cable out of a case vent from an nvme port to an egpu is ridiculous and sure to offend every amateur radio station in your city.
That's only if you consider rectangles / squares in R^2.

Of course, no such squares actually exist in the real world :) In computers, you're dealing with integers or floating point, and in them the set of rectangles / squares have the same measure.
You are welcome to believe anything you like, but when you try to convince other people of your viewpoint you must provide supporting evidence for it, while refraining from doing the things I mentioned. I do appreciate that your claim is actually testable, so that is a plus, although I cannot say that experimenting on myself is a great idea nor am I sure what effect I should be searching for. An actual study may have a hypothesis like "porn usage causes an increase of rates of depression or success in relationships" and then you could actually measure that and try to see if there was an actual difference (keeping in mind that such topics are often difficult to study, because people often lie and social sciences are often fuzzy anyways.) By the way, the "effects similar to narcotics" isn't really that great of a qualifier; for example, any pleasurable experience releases dopamine, whether it be hard, addictive drugs or spending time with your family. It would be absurd to try to continue an argument on that, wouldn't it?
Thing is, the value proposition proposed by "the cloud", whomever that may be (MS/Google/Apple et al), is quite the temptation.

Seriously, I am slowly and surely de-googling, such as storing all data locally (if I need offsite, I use encrypted backups). My calendar now uses caldav on a raspberry pi, my home network uses ethernet for fast data flow to a portable drive and I am using a web browser for many applications such as email; I use noscript and nextdns to selectively control my browsing experience. SSH is powering everything, including being able to access the device from any client connected to the network and if I wanted, from the internet as well (which can be quite useful, needs to be done sensibly however).

It's possible, but it does require effort, staying power (when installing a python package doesn't quite work because python 2/3 still...sigh) and is, quite simply, not something the average home user cares about.

Do they care an enforcement agent can access your documents via a warrant? or your metadata? or access your 'social circle' or profile you? Honestly, not really. But my threat model is that Google can and will use their AI army against you, and if you are unfortunate enough to get caught by them, there's little regards to you as an individual.

I can't risk my data being in a service with such little regard to humans, it's not acceptable and frankly, hosting everything myself is safer, more rewarding from a learning experience (such as how linux works and certain design decisions that are both good/bad and can be frustrating).

go de-google, it's a worthwhile venture.

[P.S: in a previous life I was vastly pro google. I used location history for years, google pay, play store, play games, stored youtube history and the whole works. Thanks to Snowden and forums like reddit/hackernews, I learnt that this was foolish. Giving up my data, for free, in return for little value back (why give them my financial information, for what? Google Pay is no different to my contactless card and that goes to bank directly). Cutting all these data flows was refreshing, and is part of the plan to delete or make my account dormant altogether. I am vastly more pro-privacy and take strict measures to reduce my digital footprint, which is entirely possible but requires additional effort, where the temptation of letting the "nice guy" handle all the work is always there. Paying in cash is still a thing and leaves less of a trace to 'you' as a person than digital]
MongoDB is a joke. Tried to use it on a project 3 years ago: it consistently and repeatedly lost new data on non-replicated, single-instance servers. I don’t understand how anyone can use it.
I don’t know at all, but if I had to guess extension usage is pretty low. I’m not sure the average user really sees browser extensions as something they need. They aren’t as obvious as say mobile apps.
On the flip side, extensions like Honey seem to suggest at least enough people use them to be of some worth.
are you suggesting that if you paid, then they would not trade in your data?
I've been developing Elixir since 2013, and professionally full-time since 2017. Honestly my only complaint is the lack of static typing. There is no way I'd prefer Ruby; Elixir gives you a lot more compile time checking and static analysis. As a project gets larger, it gets harder and harder to refactor because of the despair that sets in when contemplating fixing dozens or hundreds of broken tests that you can only discover by running them.

I really don't know what I'd prefer to it though, every language has its pros and cons and static typing systems while nice also can introduce their own problems. I've spent days tinkering with type abstractions in Haskell rather than getting work done - not because I had to but because I knew more expressive solutions were possible and the allure of them was too hard to resist. Elixir is a fantastic language for getting work done.
I get it, Google loves to automate stuff to save money. Makes sense, I agree. But I'm seriously wondering if all the people in charge of automating such processes are those delusional ego-programmers who think they can solve anything with machine learning, aka "AI". Really, I cannot understand that there aren't basic safeguards in place like "hey this extension got repeatedly flagged and when a human finally reviewed it we found it was a mistake each time, so maybe set a flag on this extension to double-check next time". Or maybe, have such incidents automatically bubble up to the team responsible for the automatic screening. But why do that if you're a wunderkind programmer who never makes mistakes?

Sorry, this is the only explanation I have for this, I've worked with this kind of person twice. Once they got the first version of something running they are done, no further testing, no sanity checks, no asserts or logger.warn() for "this can never happen" branches.

I think you've already got it; don't use Google products. Ideally, pay for alternatives.
Ah I see, looks like we're not running quite the same experiment. I suspect that anything including an app bundle ID is going to see some more interesting traffic.
Management is where the money is at. A big part of a manager's job is managing (manipulating) people, which gives managers the opportunity to focus on those skills,which is how you make real money. I'm just an IC waiting for them to throw me my next peanut.
> Stop worshiping the ground Google walks on, which seems common on HackerNews.

I've had the exact opposite observation here. There are few places on the Internet I see Google get more consistently browbeaten and held to account for its mistakes and abuses than on HN. This has been the case for at least the past six or eight years or more. Threads on Google here are very rarely laudatory; they typically make the front page because of bad things.

HN comments tilt toward overwhelmingly disliking Goliath and favoring David. You see this in most Intel v AMD threads from the past decade. You'd think Intel killed HN's favorite puppy or merged with Oracle. Intel having an inferior product now doesn't explain the visceral response, it's something deeper psychologically, it's a revulsion of big tech broadly. It's mostly just a matter of rooting for the underdog and against big tech. The same thing is common re Amazon and Facebook here (increasingly Apple as well, which has lost a lot of its favor on HN). Microsoft is slightly in favor by contrast, they took a very long big tech lashing previously and people like a comeback story (their open source olive branches help a lot).

Pretty typical, forever repeating psychology. Underdogs, comebacks, goliaths v davids. They won't like you again until after you fall.
So you're saying vote with your wallet but also publicise the fact you are so doing on social media?

But that does not explain the same effect in sweden, where also the people of color were much more affected. And sweden is very homogenized, compared to US.

>> I was trained in Locke social contract theory and am talking about the US government (given the context of the topic), which is not crafted on a Libertarian framework

Actually it was in many ways, and Locke's was a supporter of Natural rights and is the basis for most libertarian philosophy

Locke did not believe it was illegal to murder another man simply because the government decreed such an act to be illegal, Locke believed it was illegal because the man had the natural right to life and no other man has the ethical authority to take that life

Everything I have stated fits nicely in Lockean Philosophy

> What do you mean by legally valid?

I mean the same standard that would be used for any other statement or deposition that was presented as evidence or testimony in a court. Normally that requires a statement made upon oath or affirmation and witnessed by a notary public or an officer of the court.

> Is there a difference between the proposed "affirmation" and what a counternotice currently says?

Yes, there's the obvious difference that the affirmation has to be provided before the content is posted, instead of after a DMCA notice has already been made (and in many cases the alleged infringing content will already have been taken down, assuming guilt instead of innocence).

Under a sane legal regime, YouTube would have an affirmation, under the standards described above, before it ever allowed any content to be posted. So its first response on receiving a complaint of copyright infringement would be to provide a copy of that affirmation to whoever was making the complaint. Then whoever was making the complaint would have to provide some kind of evidence that that affirmation was fraudulent in order to get YouTube to pay attention. They wouldn't just be able to assert without any evidence that the content was infringing and have it taken down.

In practice, under a sane legal regime, the vast majority of people who might want to post infringing content would not even be willing to go to the trouble of submitting an affirmation in the first place. The people who would (aside from large corporations) would be people who genuinely are creating something they want others to see, and want it enough to be willing to go through the affirmation process.

On the one hand I agree with the gist of this article -- that those with less privilege will be worse off because it will be harder for them to get the certificate.

On the other hand, we already have this in California. You can't attend school without your vaccinations. Although the state will provide the vaccinations for free if you can't afford them.

The problem is it actually is a good idea right now to operate under the assumption that antibodies provide immunity, but in the future it may not be.

But if you allow a program that gives certificates for having antibodies, it will be really hard to put that genie back in the bottle.

They don‘t, but you also can‘t prepare (and download) a whole list of (tens of) thousands of items, which is why you only do the parts that are going to be scrolled in next. Both react native and standard native apps do this, but standard native apps are much better at it.
There is difference between “Mongo’s documentation sucks” and “Mongo is technically deficient”. The former can be corrected by updating the documentation.

So how about don't be stupid about it and instead make three engineers devote 1/3 of their time to this? That way it's a broadening rather than a redirection of their career, they can help each other, the on call duties are shared, and the business isn't dependant on a single person.

How can you say there is a monopoly when two organizations have overlapping power over a subject? How can you say there is a monopoly when you could be in county prison, state prison, or federal prison? Those are competing forces subject to different constituencies.

My point quite simply is the false dichotomy that is presented that companies are fundamentally better and more innovative because they alone are subject to competition is a false dichotomy. Governments are less affected by competition but it does exist through intergovernmental divisions of power and overlapping jurisdiction. Governments also have a monopoly on granting the right to operate a business. They can and do limit ability to operate (try to be a lawyer with out government regulated credentials). So you’re basically saying when government confers this right to operate on a C Corp that is competition but when it confers the right to a sherif and police force and immigration agency to detain people that’s not competition. Agencies absolutely complete for resources, public praise, and employee recruitment; and they worry that their effectiveness and policies will harm them just the same.

Further, this false dichotomy is used to distract from the real important insight that government is uniquely positioned to address problems no company or market force could address. One, of many clear examples is the longer time horizon and risk taking the government can take for basic research. Companies have been able to innovate on top of many government funded projects like the internet, gps, interstate highways, self driving cars (remember those crazy darpa funded competitions with $5M prize for a team that got a Humvee to drive its self in the desert?). No company could invest for decades at network scale like governments can and yet we applaud their innovative ability and demonize governments by ignoring the foundation it provides for innovation in the first place.

Silicon Valley itself only exists because nasa brought a ton of scientists to the Bay Area and a critical mass of tech oriented families happened to be in an area. Well guess what their kids ended up being hacker friends in garages building products.

Oh and by the way “all the tea in China” is an Interesting quote given that the British East India company, a literal private corporation, was granted a monopoly on the use of force and acted as a quasi government all while being an extremely “innovative” (And horribly brutal/evil company)
It's nothing novel. It's like a concert ticket entitles you to a 3 hour subscription to an event that you don't get to keep, and a movie ticket means you get to sit in a place for 90 minutes. The event happens and then it's gone. Only your memory remains. You don't get to keep your seat.
That's kinda NSFW.....might be helpful next time if you indicated it as such.
From my experience using a non screen tablet makes the learning curve much steeper while a screen tablet feels much more natural due to people being used to seeing what they are drawing from writing and drawing on paper.

I have seen this one some festivals where they set up a couple Wacom LCD tablet devices for people to draw on - there was a lot of interest and basically everyone was able to start drawing in a couple minutes. Seeing what you are drawing on the screen and not in front of you basically throws all the muscle memory people have from paper drawing and writing out of the window.

This comment is trite. No Android app, no iPhone app, no Google search listing, no Amazon product page, no Stream/Epic store listing, no browser extensions, no cloud servers.

Chrome can load unpacked extensions by enabling Developer mode in about://extensions. Google will definitely get up in your business if you try to distribute an extension on your website this way though.
