> In that case, old hardware is much more likely to be present

This project seems to be targeting computers and games consoles from the 1980s - stuff that hasn't been manufactured in decades. Why is that more likely to be present than something like a Raspberry Pi, or a WiFi router that can be flashed with OpenWRT?
Ok as someone who has been programming computers since age five (and currently in the industry) and has a PhD in biochemistry... It's not a computer. If you think of it that way you can wind up in deep trouble with critical nuances. That said, it can be fruitful to treat a small percentage of the systems (my gut says 10%), and exploit their computer-like features for fun and profit.
On some of the academic subreddits, one of the semi-frequently occurring posts is "am I too old to go to grad school?" and inevitably the post is from someone who is under 30. It always drives me crazy that people think any age is too late to start a career in a non-physically demanding field.
In the Netherlands, I remember electronics stores carried DIY kits with names such as "TV signal quality enhancer". I only later realized what these were actually for.
Why is that? I assume operating a bank account can't be that expensive for banks. If they don't let customers withdraw past zero, they don't really have risks, but they could still take a fee. Is there some regulation that makes it unprofitable? Are people okay not having a bank account and don't bother getting one because paying rent in cash is accepted?
The reddit thread is over a year old, does anyone know what has happened in the meantime? Did the users get their refund? Are they still doing this?

What a silly thing to tell people is "women's work". I wasn't born until 1990, but even in the 80's weren't personal computers a pretty common thing (e.g. the Apple ][, the Commodore 64, Amiga)? I wonder why a guy learning to type wouldn't appear useful to people?
> If I harmed a patient once

You're conflating allegations of harm vs harmed. Given your position is just assisting the person and not enforcing the law(which the person does not want the cop to do against them), you are magnitudes less likely to have allegations made against you.

Allegations aren't an objective historical fact. They can and are used to spite.

This post is a year old, and it seems from the comments that it might not have been a Tidal problem and instead something from the source, as similar problems appeared in the MP3s from Google Play and CDBaby.

I'm not a huge fan of Tidal's "master quality" MQAs though, which I don't think are actually lossless even though they're advertised heavily as being the original master quality. (MQA stands for master quality authenticated, and the MQA site is full of technobabble about folding the file to make it smaller (10% the size!) and then unfolding it one, two, or three times depending on your equipment, etc). (https://www.mqa.co.uk/how-it-works)
I mean, that ignores the Master's requirement. All PhD programs I've ever looked at have a Master's as part of them, which has all the coursework.

For example, a political science PhD at Columbia (including the Masters) requires a full 12 courses, as well as teaching for at least a year (more if you receive a fellowship, up to 20 hrs/wk).

And you can't do your Masters somewhere else first and then just do the PhD part at Columbia, that's not an option.

Yeah, this stuff always comes with "your mileage may vary."

What I remember is a lot of very optimistic ideas being discussed openly without a lot of cynicism or irony. Go find some old Mondo 2000 or other early-mid 90s futurist material.

I also remember a wave of new technology people could touch and interact with: the PC and Internet revolutions. Shiny starships are awesome but I will probably never ride in one.

The 80s-90s was also the last era of musical innovation. If you include the 80s too there was: hip hop / rap, drum and bass, techno/rave and all its variant genres, grunge, shoegaze, dreampop, math rock, new wave, synth rock, I could keep going...

Since 2001: very little except slight variations on the above and reboots of older forms. For some reason music totally collapsed after 2001. I've toyed around with economic interpretations but ultimately it feels like there's some psychological wall there. We can't think of anything new.

It's a good point. At any given time, the key is either compromised or it's not. And you may or may not know either way.

If it's compromised, and you know, then it should be revoked -- if your only mechanism to revoke it is waiting some amount of time (several days, months, or even a decade) you have a pretty big problem.

If you don't have a way to detect if it's compromised, rotating a precaution almost makes sense -- but then the valid time should be very short. I'm not exactly sure how short, but definitely the decade or two used for CA certs is too long. Make it shorter than a year and automated renewal becomes necessary, but if you have that mechanism why not check for revocations?

The only other reason I can think of to expire non-compromised certificates is to force them to be regenerated to use newer signature algorithms, but even that's difficult to predict. We're currently using SHA-2 for PKI, but is that still going to be reasonable in 5, 10 years? Someone could figure out a potential weakness at any time, which would start the move to something else.

Nobody is saying that you can't use an SMR drive in a RAID with the appropriate write strategy. It's just that you'd expect those tweaks to be enabled when the drive actually reports itself as an SMR drive. Which these drives don't do, because WD tried to defraud their customers by doing a gross cost+feature reduction on a product line that had been shipping for many years.
You have to shop for TVs by sorting from high to low pricewise... the cheap TVs are subsidized. For a project a few years ago, I bought a few Samsung commercial signage TVs for a customer whose security requirements prohibited anything like a "smart" TV.

JS dev here, I'd just like to say that the final sentence is just plain wrong at this point.

Could this be addressed by advising people who have attended a protest to self-quarantine for two weeks?

I imagine that if Trump held a press conference with Dr Birx and Dr Fauci, where they advised protestors to stay home for two weeks after attending a protest, he might face some backlash. But at the same time, he gets backlash for “mishandling the Coronavirus.” So it’s politically untenable for him to give the scientific advice to stay home after protesting. He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.

IMO this reveals some hypocrisy on the part of the media pundits painting these narratives, but I digress...
Read your post. Yeah, conda works fine with pip stuff. And yes, what you've detailed is similar to pinning versions in requirements. Which I do as standard -- I even do it with apt installs sometimes.

But I often need to install via system package management for other dependencies. conda doesn't respect the base system package manager. That is what causes headaches.

If conda respected system package management first, then installed as necessary, I wouldn't have a problem with it as an admin. But it doesn't because it's not built for engineering/admins (want stability + efficiency), it's built for scientific projects (want to run code easily).

Also, I'm using the "royal* we. Like, we as in admins generally. I'm the only admin in my team (voluntarily), so I need to be ruthless with this type of stuff.

EDIT:

I think you missed my point about virtual environments.

The entire container is a virtual environment. Why would we want to use another virtual environement for no reason except the fact that conda wants us to?

It adds extra steps which we'd have maintain. Which means more developer resource spent on maintenance. Which means less time spent on new features.

It's just another thing that could go wrong. Simpler systems break less often.

They also often drive away any possibility of meaty conversation because everyone worth hearing from is drowning under a sea of underinformed responses written in a way that sounds like a convincing in-depth discussion to the even less informed passerbys.

I'm no sage, but it doesn't take a genius to see when Hacker News and /r/programming get swept away by a new silver bullet in software development. Then we all have to wait years before the enthusiastic youngsters are ready to hear a realistic conversation about the prima facie limitations of the new magic beans.
Having suffered from silent data corruption affecting some old photos that I only noticed years after it had happened (backups going back that far had already been purged), I'd argue that ZFS is appropriate for everyone who cares about their data.

Rituals I followed to be a better programmer
Asking a designer to work on your open source project for free is like asking the local pizza parlor to feed your open source project for free. Unless your open source project is something that benefits designers it doesn't...well it doesn't benefit designers. The open source model is mostly developers building things that serve their own interests and the interests of other developers. On top of that developers tend to be paid better than designers and designers get lots of offers to work for free.

Lisp peaked very early, and grew at a voracious pace compared to progress in hardware. The result was that it required "big iron". Lisp was a victim of the same process that killed the mainframes: a rebooting of the computer industry with cheap, but (initially) under-powered microcomputers, to which legacy systems were not able to migrate.

There also arose a new generation of hackers brought up on the new microcomputers who didn't care for, know or else even have access to legacy systems. As microcomputers showed signs of advancement, old hackers who had learned how to make things fit into small memories 15 years prior brandished their skills, which popularized tools like Pascal and C. Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS PC's fit a compiler and IDE into under forty kilobytes.

In the 1980's, people who wanted to use their Lisp techniques to deploy into the microcomputer market were faced with rewrites. A blatant example of this is CLIPS: an expert system written in C which retains the Lisp syntax of its predecessor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLIPS . CLIPS was inspired by a Lisp-based system called OP5. But that itself had also been rewritten into Bliss for speed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPS5 .
> I’m a bit despondent over the casual approach to quality exhibited by a lot of corporations, and the stakes are getting higher.

I don't think that there is any evidence that the quality of the software was low. The problem was the design of the system and the willingness of the developers to implement it.
> Are people okay not having a bank account and don't bother getting one because paying rent in cash is accepted?

It largely is expensive and annoying to not have a bank account. Typically what keeps people from having a bank account is being in poverty: bad credit, no permanent address, dodging debt collectors, and probably a lot more reasons than that.
If you think abiding fascism can't have real-world, long term consequences please review your history. The same if you think abuse of having everyone's private data is no big deal.

The two companies, by the way, are Facebook and Amazon. Unfortunately I'm in a position that I use both, but I don't intend to work for either as things currently stand. I'd probably go to Amazon before Facebook, but I have concerns about their treatment of warehouse staff and entering markets they've built around other sellers and undercutting them.

You might want something like a Philips BDM4350UC then [1] - brought from the 'large monitor' section of your favourite IT retailer. No smart features whatsoever (and no tuner and no remote).

Unfortunately, they only go up to 43-inch - large for a monitor, but not exactly Frank's 2000-inch TV.

> In early 2025, a cadre of these disaffected Zoomers launch a protest movement. Beginning in “parks, rallies, protests, and coffee shops” — first in Seattle; then New York City; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles; Las Vegas; and Austin — a group known as Zbellion begins a “global cyber campaign to expose injustice and corruption and to support causes it deem[s] beneficial.”

These are the bad guys???

On another note, their profile of zoomers is pretty interesting. Perhaps it might just be the spots I hang out on the internet, but most of us do seem to radicalize easier, or at least fall further to whatever respective side of the economic spectrum.

I would not personally consider Kraft products to be cheese. The US has a complex definition, for example:

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFR...

If you look in the cheese section of a decent store, you’ll find many real cheese with ingredients like “pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, cultures”. These contain living cultures but not raw milk, and many of them have long shelf lives.

My point is that, while you’re unlikely to find raw milk in a sterile so-called cheese product, actual cheese is not sterile despite often containing pasteurized milk. And that pasteurizing the milk isn’t necessarily done for food safety reasons — some cheese recipes call for raw milk and some call for cooking the milk.

The statement "being told exactly what to learn" is so counter to my own university experience (admittedly almost 20 years ago now).

It seems to me that going to university to be told what to learn is counter to the actual goal of going to university, namely to have first-class access to resources (people resources, knowledge resources, laboratory resources) to pursue your own learning goals.

I've been tempted to go back to university in order to learn more about organic chemistry and chemical engineering, for instance. There's certainly a lot of information online, but a world-class chemistry lab with access to chemicals would be a great resource to have available to me, along with readily available mentors to help guide me when I have questions.

As for homework and essays, that sounds more like high school than university, from what I remember. It's always possible things have changed in the last 15 years, though.
A monad is an abstract interface for sequencing side effecting operations in a way that guarantees referential transparency. They do this by hiding the extraction of the value contained in the monad and passing that value to a user supplied lambda that takes a value of the type of the value contained in the monad and returning a new monad containing a different type. Thus, you cannot do step one after step two, because step one must extract the value from its containing monad.

In a modern OOP language, like Java, this is analogous to using for each in to build a new list from a given input list. Due to the abstraction, a monad can do this without exposing the internal loop state to the outside world, a single bind expression safe to refactor, whereas moving the for loop requires moving two statements in order to be safe to move.

Multimedia is tricky but, from the way you describe it, you've come across the more general problem that writing concurrent software in general, and parallel software in particular, can be a real sod.

What you're likely to be experiencing are bugs due to race conditions. These are notoriously hard to debug.

It's one of the reasons why there's so much fuss around languages like Rust and Go. They have builtin features that try to make these types of issue less prevalent. I appreciate this doesn't help you directly but should make you feel a bit better; there are whole engineering teams working to avoid the types of issues that you're experiencing.

In terms of how to help you move forward, that's quite hard in this format. Sorry.
