That's because the specific information on the disk was initially generated by, and is the consequence of, a great many previous events. Even if we assume the disk holds only the complete works of Shakespeare, we would need to understand vastly more than just the drive's physics, in order to understand it completely. That does not imply that the explanation for the drive, as we find it with its specific contents, is not reducible to physics, but performing such a reduction is not the path to understanding it.

That's how I use Python for the last few years.

My scripts end up longer and more verbose typically (I might just not be great at Python) but also a lot more maintainable (I am not great at writing maintainable Perl and I use Python more often).

I also use Node.js for this a lot because of the ecosystem containing so many accessible scripts and dependency management while not great is heaps better than most other ecosystems.

Of course OpenBSD can't do that with Python rather then Perl (as explained in that email). They have a different set of constraints. I am only saying in practice I have found Python to be the better alternative for my personal stuff.
There is a critical bug in 10.15 that deletes random mails and it still hasn’t been fixed! https://mjtsai.com/blog/2019/10/11/mail-data-loss-in-macos-1...
Why?

We have plenty of yaml 'code' which is simple and does exactly what it needs to do.

For all other usecases, there are plenty of alternatives, including libs for your preferred language.

Most people use the yaml way because its easy and does exactly what it needs to do.

Everyone else has plenty of well supported and well working alternatives.
I am a big fan of using namespaces via docker, in particular for development. If I want to test my backend component I can expose a single port and then hook it up to the database, redis, nginx etc. via docker networks. You don't need to worry about port clashes and it's easy to "factory reset".

In production this model is quite a good way to guarantee your internal components aren't directly exposed too.
Rethinking Easter Island’s Historic ‘Collapse’
Whether or not an individual forwarding an email to another individual is technically "spamming" is moot; most spam is company-to-individual/automated-system-to-individual.

As to why they forward it in the first place: how would I, an individual, know whether or not my mom will want to use the 20% coupon code for a cosmetics store I just received, but don't want to use? I'd ask her. I can ask her via an unsolicited phone call or email. Am I a spammer if I do that?

Similarly, if my mom clicks the "unsubscribe" link on what I forwarded, mistakenly thinking that it was sent to her directly by $costmetics_company, that sucks for me if I ever want to use their coupons.

An even more annoying situation is when someone in charge of procurement for a business forwards a "shipping confirmation" email to an employee as a means of indicating that the employee's requested purchase is on its way. If that employee makes a mistake (e.g. they have a lot of commercial email in their inbox and click the wrong one/are sleepy/whatever) and clicks "unsubscribe" on that shipping confirmation, the procurement person won't get any future confirmations for any orders for anyone.

There are mitigations to this (the shipper could use transactional emails without unsubscribe links, the procurement person could do something less lazy than just forwarding the email wholesale), but in the real world those often don't happen. So autofilled unsubscribe then causes problems for random upstream people, not the forwarded recipient.

The problem seems to me that management doesn't appreciate the need for competent (and therefore expensive) software engineers in critical projects like defense, aviation and space. The whole idea of trying to save a few bucks on something as critical as a fly-by-wire system or end-to-end testing seems totally ludicrous to me.

Boeing has been cutting too many corners since the MBA's took over and started reorganizing things to maximize profitability. There's a good chance the company will fail because of this.
What configuration are you running? This bug happens to me several times a day, though I am trying to close Apple Mail when I am not using it, but that's easy to forget and also annoying.
Money and keeping track of it is a big problem. Depending on your problem though, its not fully always in your control. For example, we integrate with a discount calculation service that only supports values up to the 100ths. This means that we have to introduce rounding as an intermediary and then solve the "off by one cent" problem, after the fact.

In addition to the problem @joshuakelly mentioned, I think one of the challenges here will be to gain trust. Asking someone else to keep track of your books is a pretty tall ask. How does it affect a given company's auditing? What about SOC Compliance etc? I would suggest you try to address some of these things.

Best!

Huawei is one of the few Chinese tech giants with success in the West. I think that entire concept scares the US, which until now has enjoyed almost a monopoly on big tech.

There is a security argument of course, and the US government is well aware of smartphones and related technology being perfect spy machines, but I think you have to look at this in terms of great power competition to get the full picture.

Disclaimer: I work for a major West-based supplier to Huawei.
State of the art chips are only partly starting to be produced with EUV. You can do 7 nm without. And even then you don't do all chips with 7, specifying all "high-end" as a race to the smallest node is completely insane, the design space permitted by "just" 14 has yet to be fully explored, and I'm not even talking about the other applications where you absolutely don't even want the smallest node. The strategy makes no sense at all IMO. This is a (very time limited) commercial war over gadgets, and this will clearly lead to China eventually developing and owning their whole stack.
Classes for use with stack-allocated instances in C++ are also very handy. Makes it easy to control the extent (i.e. lifetime) of the side-effects they produce.
You can replicate k8s featureset with plenty of other architectures.

But thats not the point.

k8s is the first infrastructure control plane in existence which is widley supported and standardized.

Well, to obtain integer spin one actually does not need any physics knowledge. All of the possible integer spins map one-to-one on the group representations of the rotation group. It is pure mathematics. One thing with half-integer spin is that if an object transforms according to a half-integer representation and one rotates the object by 360 degrees the state function acquires a minus sign. This is difficult to imagine coming from a spatial object, though, because one would be inclined to say that rotating by 360 degrees is the no-op. So, these half-integer spin objects are actually kind of strange and one would probably not have imagined them if one would just take mathematics as the starting point.

> I like the principle that "a program is a text file", that you can edit with tools orthogonal to the language in question

Adjustable tab display width and automatic line wrapping are features any good text editor offers that do not interfere with the use of any other text manipulation tools on that file.

Now, if you're forced to work in an environment where someone wrongheadedly decided to adapt to users who have bad or badly configured editors and standardized on space indentation that sucks, but that's the fault of whoever made that bad decision.
I suspect we'll see more of this in future, since a lot of the work journalists/reporters do now can easily be automated away with AI.

It's already started happening with stories on sports results, which some outlets have already automated with templates and a data feed. It's probably going to happen with entertainment news too, given how many TV/movie/game/book/music related stories are just rewording press releases or posting trailers/advertisements.

And with the kind of tech mentioned in the article, a lot of the BuzzFeed style low effort stories seen on clickbait focused news sites are probably going to go the same way.

So yeah, we'll probably end up with a far smaller media industry in the foreseeable future, and one where eventually, everything except big ticket stories are written by machines rather than people.

> I don't see why you have to involve the web at all

Because List-Unsubscribe is very new and not supported by all email clients or ISPs (inbox service providers). Since adoption is so spotty, most ESPs (email service providers) start from a baseline of a web unsubscribe system and (maybe) supplement that with List-Unsubscribe as well.

This situation will likely improve over time.
> In that case, the universe of the far future will be littered with tiny, indestructible black hole remnants — the remains of any black holes that carry even a touch of charge

I don't get that. Wouldn't the charge be neutralized by consuming particles with an opposite charge (which are attracted gravitationally and electrically)? Or even by merging two extremal black holes with opposite charge?
I thought this was talking about JWT not restricting by IP specifically because Kerberos does.

Kerberos has very stringent requirements to onboard and preregister user devices, that works in limited contexts like desktop or server authentication in an intranet. JWT is intended to cover other use cases like web authentication. Their (non) limitations are simply reflections of their use cases.
Poisson disc sampling is a brute force technique and isn't an analytic method for packing. Any sample pattern can be relaxed if you are finding neighbor points and using multiple iterations. Poisson sampling is just trying and rejecting many samples based on their neighbors' distances, there aren't any deep principles being used.

It is a lot like a bubble sort in that it is O(n^2) and is useful in practice on tiny sets and as a benchmark.

(Also that link is very cool, but it looks closer to n-rooks / latin hypercube sampling in that it used a grid, which means it won't work in higher dimensions)
You can always simplify your IT and require everyone to use only a small subset of Linux images which were preapproved by your security team. And you can make those to be only deb or rpm based Linux distributions.

The only problem with these Linux based packaging for deployments are Mac users and their dev environment. Linux users are usually fine, but there always had to be some Docker like setup for Mac users.

If we could say that our servers run on Linux and all users run on some Linux (WSL for Windows users) then deployments could have been simple and reproducible rpm based deployments for code and rpm packages containing systemd configuration.

Complete breeze and no need for Docker or K8s.

That's a horrible and dangerous suggestion and I hope the the world is above racial profiling. Given historical precedent and the difficulty in developing extreme ultraviolet lithography, it's reasonable to expect CCP has their top hackers and human intelligence operatives (both paid an unpaid PRC nationals and non-PRC nationals of varying ethnicities) attacking ASML to try and steal its invaluable trade secrets.

I read somewhere that the simplest counter measure Huawei can take is to show it's a private company, by publishing its shareholder structure, thus renders the crack down illegal.

But Huawei won't.

The fact is Microsoft didn't copy anything except the idea, and you don't need attribution for that. Winget was rewritten entirely from scratch and there was no open-source involved.

It's ... not? At all?

That term is super widely used in spam-prevention, commercial email sending, transactional email sending, and inbox provider industries.

You can disagree with the phrasing if you want, but that doesn't make it propaganda--not any more than the Orwellian naming of the "No Child Left Behind" act makes the law itself propaganda.
Not only that, even if you manage to get decent profits uncaught, you'd still have to launder it to buy any large purchases like cars / houses etc without raising suspicion from the tax authorities.
>Kubernetes is for orchestrating a distributed system.

No it's not. You can use it to run bunch of monoliths too. K8s provides a common API layer that all of your organisation can adhere to. Just like containers are a generic encapsulation of any runable code.
I don't see an alternative though.

If your deployment target is Linux and your development machine is not then you need a Linux VM of some sort to host your Linux containers.

How would you implement "real" containers without a VM in that scenario.
SMIC already produces at 14nm. You can cover lots of things with that.
The built-in comma operator has strict sequencing semantics:

Every value computation and side effect of the first (left) argument of the built-in comma operator , is sequenced before every value computation and side effect of the second (right) argument. [1]

The same sequencing guarantee is not applied to a user-defined comma operator.

For the similar reasons it's not a great idea to overload && and || either.

"The alternative to K8s isn't your personal collection of fragile shell scripts. The real alternative is not doing the whole microservices thing and just deploying a single statically linked, optimized C++ server that can serve 10k requests per second from a toaster--but we're not ready to have that discussion."

You are writing this and i thought yesterday how to extend my current home k8s setup even further.

I would even manage that little c++ tool through k8s.

K8s brings plenty of other things out of the box:
- Rolling update
- HA
- Storage provisioning (which makes backup simpler)
- Infrastructure as code (whatever your shellscript is doing)

I think that the overhead k8s requires right now, will become smaller over the years, it will be simpmler to use it, it will become more and more stable.

It is already a really simple and nice control plane.

I like to use a few docker containers with compose. But if i already use docker compose for 2 projects, why not just using k8s instead?
See? That's the problem with arithmetic on containers. Python has that already:

v += 4, 5, 6

Comma doesn't do weird shit: that's just a tuple of numbers. But "+=" then does weird shit: it means concatenation when v is a standard library list, and element-wise addition when v is a numpy vector.
I have the same issue, in fact I'm so used to it that I even do not notice it anymore, except when watching fullscreen video, then I'm like: "It's just the way how things are here...[quits Mail]".

As someone already mentioned - I'm also pretty sure it's related to some disconnect/reconnect thing.
I can only speak for myself as a relatively late adopter, right around early 2020 this year.

I only consider that late because I've been reading the hype around k8s for many years already.

Became a late adopter of containers just before k8s actually. Now I've migrated most of my setups both privately and professionally to containers. And setup my first k8s clusters both at work and in my homelab.

So my perspective is that containers are first and foremost an amazing way of deploying software because all that complexity I did in ansible to deploy the software has been moved to the container image.

The project itself now, be it Mastodon, Jitsi, Synapse to name a few, package most of their product for me in automatic build pipelines. All I need to do is run and configure it.

And therefore, moving on to k8s, it would stand to reason that some of those services are able to be clustered. Where better to do such clustering than k8s?

That's just an ops perspective. We also have devs where I work and with k8s they're able to deploy anything from routes down to their services using manifests in CD pipelines. What's not to like?

Only reason one might get disenchanted with k8s is if you expect it to be a one-stop solution for your aging .net application. Not saying you can't deploy that in k8s, I'm just using it as an example of something that might not be microservice ready.
My guess is that it's because Perl is very comfortable for a team that mostly writes C on a Unix like platform.

The general syntax, operators, etc, are close, and familiar things like stat(), gethostbyname(), etc, work almost the same.
