Of course - I also switched for ebooks from a dedicated reader to a tablet. But I'm still missing the ability for reading in the full sun, power for two weeks w/o charging, easiness on the eyes.

Similar - but harder to tolerate - things apply to a painting tablet. You cannot replace it simply by a multi-function device without losing quite a lot functionality.
I think basically Linux didn't work that well for them more than "MS worming their way back in". It sounded pretty pragmatic in the case of Munich from what I read.

I spent ~five years with a Netflix subscription that I never watched. I'd joke that I ought to get a Christmas card from them, because I was one of their very best customers.

Even now, I'll flip back and forth between paying and not paying, because I only use the service occasionally. I suspect it's less hassle for them to keep people like me on the books than have us fade in and out.
TripleByte has taken on $50 million in funding and covid is deeply slowing down hiring. I'm guessing this is the desperate phase of company growth as they try to pivot to increase growth metrics. I'm curious if they would have done it had covid not happened.

That is only partially correct. In many European countries people enjoy quite some protection also in work life. So in order not to do anything illegal the employer has to carefully control access rights to your PC. And the ones who have access rights cannot do whatever. Reading emails is typically illegal, yes emails on the work account! (Just to mention the legal concepts; of course in today's architecture emails are rarely stored on your PC)

I understand in the US employees enjoy little protection while at work. I could guess video surveillance in the toilets could still be unacceptable. Just to make the point, even if the location, paper and water is paid by the employer and more importantly the time is paid, it shouldn't be like that that the employer controls everything. (Although there have been reports that Amazon warehouse workers in the UK use bottles for their needs, because the employer does not provide for more human arrangements in practice. Some employers are always worse than others and that's why I have stopped ordering from that company.)
Problem is known for many years.

Maybe you're missing to foresee the future step in Apple's strategy which will make it harder if not impossible to run something like Homebrew? As far as I know there is no such thing on (non-jailbroken) iOS. Apple seems be be steering macOS in that direction, a curated platform instead of a general-purpose computing device.
> need to be some degree of agreement and coordination between token producers about what a particular scope string means & agreement between different services (...)

I agree with you on this point. Actually there are already some "common" scopes, for instance OpenID Connect defines some scopes ("openid", "profile", "email", ...): https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#ScopeC...

However I don't think (to be confirmed) there is a IANA registry for scopes (source: https://www.iana.org/protocols)

But there is one for claims in JWT:

And even it that speed, I bet pre-roll ads on videos still end up buffering.

> Your resources (aka content) ACL should not be in the scope itself

I have to disagree on this one, being able to specify which resources an OAuth client can tinker with is useful (e.g. only read access to x,y and z repos).

I'm also curious on how often these use cases are of needing many scopes / a god JWT, vs. production usage and keeping a narrow scope for the task at hand. There's also the other option (if in charge of authoring the resource server) to have broader scopes that encompass several others.
I wonder how that plays together with their intent to firewall the European internet, track it and otherwise mirror Chinese development. Seems like plain PR to me.

Munich, though, has turned back to open source again:

That's a great garden path sentence. (or at least beautifuly ambiguous)

I haven't. Although I reckon there shouldn't be much difference performance wise, since all the heavy lifting is done on the native thread. Maybe it could potentially improve the mounting time, which is the only code JS has to run during the lifecycle of the component.
You forgot, and the users probably will forget too, to flip the switch back so that the browser is no longer a trusted source.

I am very glad to see this - I have been banging on about this (unsuccessfully) for years - http://oss4gov.org/

Good news, even if it is only EU parliament.

Edit: one thing i do think will help adoption is credentialed support - so it's pretty obvious I can always find some other company who knows Apache httpd - but far less obvious if I want to use a mid-ranking piece of OSS and if we are having to build our own OSS system (say something to manage building planning permission).

But if there were consortiums of OSS ISPs who could cross certify on a given piece of software it would get over one of the huge if not hugest problem - who do I call if there is a problem and are they credible?

Of course you want cintiq as big as possible but not tablet. With A4 you get to a point where you have to move a lot around the table with hand in front of you while you are looking straight at your screen its just akward. You dont have space for keyboard etc.
Could you post the specific part in which that document talks about firewalling the European internet?
Regarding your first, this is only true if the ecosystem allows it.

I could repair my own car, except the last time I tried to change a tire, I couldn't as the garage used a pneumatic tool to fasten the screws inhumanly hard. Every so much km, the car starts flashing all kinds of warnings because some computer from the manufacturer needs to be attached to the odb2 service connector. Neither is insurmountable, but why would I spend more money on tools than I ever would on the garage? Why would I spend a ton of my time, and take the risk of screwing up the car I depend on? Only because I like it, i.e. a hobby.

In the computer world, you can still send email, but if 1/3th of the people have a gmail account, you better have configured the server exactly as they want it, and every few months they change the rules. Google has a near monopoly in directing people to your site. If they decide you get no visitos without amp, you use amp or you live without much visitors.

Look at github's popularity. Not that long ago, every open source project ran their own source control, bug tracker, wiki, etc... gitlab's integrated system made that extremely easy, and still the very software devs that should be the main demographic for running their own server have migrated in masses to github.

Regarding your second: It might be true. But in this case you just swapped a huge company/oligopoly for another one that is a bit smaller. You're still not self hosting and peer-to-peering in this model.

None of this is insurmountable, but all of it is a bother. So you'll only do it if you want to, i.e. as a hobby.

I dont want to looking at it as 'doomed'. Technology advanced, and previous methods are now obsolete. We probably lost something charming in the process, but we win other things. That's just the way progress works, both in IT or outside it.
Exactly, it is on our plans, would take a bit of time.
The article mentioned at the beginning is already discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23273247
I'm a web developer with a focus on security and I nearly got phished multiple times. Once was a legitimate-looking email from Linode, which I opened and was fooled by (I didn't check the domain because I trusted my spam filter too much to consider that it might be fake), I was saved by my password manager not auto-filling the credentials because the domain didn't match, which made me look and see that I was on the wrong domain.

The second time, someone was about to steal $30k worth of cryptocurrency from me with a very convincing page on śtellar.org, where I nearly entered my wallet seed (did you notice the accent over the s? I didn't), and was saved by the fact that I keep my cryptocurrency in a hardware wallet, so I had no seed to enter.

Both times, what saved me from being phished wasn't that I'm trained or that I'm more observant (which my parents have no hope of ever being), but that I had used best practices so I didn't have to rely on being trained or observant.

I'm hoping WebAuthn takes off, which will really kill phishing for good, but you can take steps now: Use hardware U2F keys as second factors, use a password manager, don't use SMS auth. Make long, random passwords, etc.
It's not typical (because most people don't know about it), but API Gateway can integrate directly with many AWS services without the need to put AWS Lambda in between.

If you find yourself writing many Lambdas just to do simple transforms and piping around data, it's always a good idea to check if the two services can directly talk to each other first.

Self driving cars: Yes, but only if they really work - now is the perfect time to sell them if they did; for those of us who normally use public transport but don't currently like the thought of sitting in a petri dish for 2 hours.
Utility scale battery storage: Yes but it needs tech improvements to store LOTS of energy; the flow batteries might do it if the hype is true - but currently the UK wholesale electricity price is £-28/MWh due to a wind/solar glut and a quiet weekend, so if anyone wants to get paid to store that energy the opportunity is there.

As for C++ safety; I find modern C++ hard to read - are they going to be able to do safety but end up with something that's actually harder to use/read than Rust?

I started to have a look but that first diagram arrows everywhere, does no one do simple any more?

It does look like what a normal web app would do in say PHP or Django. Is there really an advantage to splitting it into microservices and putting it in AWS Lambda over a load balancer and extra instances when needed? A normal app would have those services split into classes / modules and would run on the same machine (the aysnc tasks being an exception). I imagine my approach would need a lot less ops and coordination between the parts.
Here:

The basis of our arguments is rooted in a new approach of the European Commission manifested in the ambitious agenda that the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen put out in mid-February 2020. The general idea in our action plan is that Europe should play a leadership role in all digital developments. How to do that? The authors of this report are convinced that three bold action plans are required:

Action Plan 1:

European Cloud / European Internet

A European firewall/cloud/ internet would foster a digital ecosystem in Europe based on data and innovation. It would drive competition and set standards, similar to what has happened in China in the past 20 years. The foundations of such a European cloud are democratic values, transparency, competition and data protection.

Nice! I did something similar for my personal infrastructure map [0].
I tried different tools, and each of them was too limited so landed on graphviz + a python DSL [1] to generate the diagram.

It turned out to be extremely convenient:

- python makes it easy to spot errors/typos (you can use mypy even before running the genrator)

- keyword arguments and dictionaries map naturally to node/edge properties

- you can reuse boilerplate by using functions, variables and control structures

- you can always inject graphviz string directly as a last resort hacking measure

- thanks to python's dynamic features, you can even give the nodes/clusters same names as their corresponding python objects, which results in less boilerplate and makes easy to debug

I got this recently from Springer directly, and just as a psudeo-warning, this is a "print on demand" book, at least the one I got was (it said so when I ordered it, so I was properly warned). Now, the print is actually pretty high quality and so is the binding, and it's a large and beautiful book. My only complaint is the paper of the pages is a bit thin, like regular printer paper stock, as opposed to the thicker glossy paper I was hoping for and that would be usual for a book this size. When you're leafing through it and a page is lifted, you can often see the content on the opposite side showing through. That can be distracting and may bother some people.

BTW: If you buy from Springer, you get a free pdf of the book immediately while you wait for your physical copy, because of the delay for print on demand. They say you don't actually "own" the digital edition (can't remember the exact wording), but I can vouch that it's not time-limited. It's a very good deal.
An interesting idea, essentially Trio restructures concurrent code to more closely resemble parallel code, which innately has the property that the concurrency is not observable, ie. the black box property. It's a little more general than strict parallel code though because task spawning is reified as a first class value via which the program can spawn new tasks.

I'm not sure it's totally novel though. For instance, C# has AsParallel() extensions which let you run collection operations in parallel (similar functions in Haskell too). It has the same black box behaviour described by the article, and there's an equivalence between direct control flow in code and indirect control flow reified as a data structure, ie. Haskell's case that lazy evaluation and lists are the only control flow construct you need.

Still, it's an interesting imperative incarnation of the idea!

Having a "brutalist" aesthetic is called out in its README as part of the design philosophy.

Brutalist is a bit of an acquired taste. There are at least a couple different schools of brutalism (this one seems to line up with more of a 90s web aesthetic), but I like to think of it as a kind of intentional ugliness that allows designers to emphasize practicality. You're there to participate in the content, not the pretty boxes around the content. (I dunno if I'm explaining it well or not.)
I wish articles like these would include sections about how their developers dev / test / promote through different environments. Only seeing how a production system is structured is less than half the battle and can mask true complications of going serverless.
Sure, businesses like to control spending, but this scenario seems backwards. If the hoops have been jumped through to get the subscription approved once, and one might need to use it again in future, why would one ever cancel it? Whereas, if subscription approvals were easy, one would be more likely to worry about spending the firm's money unnecessarily.

This is sort of like the fact that strict border controls encourage undocumented immigrants to stay once they've passed the border once.
It looks like you've read only part of the story. The part I read was about Microsoft putting a lot of effort/money, including lobbying, into making Munich switch away from Linux, and now, as the sibling comments point out, Munich is switching back to Linux.

Oh yes you're absolutely right. And while I'm only an engineer and have no "real" say in how the company is run, and no remuneration except for my monthly paycheck, I've definitely been part of the problem. I work crazy hours, I'm totally addicted to the problem-solution "high" feedback loop. There have definitely been times when I've thought some people weren't pulling their weight. But with the passage of time, I've mellowed a bit and I've come to realize the importance of downtime and all those hard to quantify things.

For the most part, my employer has treated people pretty well. Workload has been high, but flexibility has always been high as well. Along with $$$. Working here has definitely given me an appreciation for the hard work it takes to get a company off the ground.
