I also think a lot of praise should generally be a team thing too (but I also love this: "You can praise individuals, but you take blame as a team.")

When discussing success to an outside group (giving a presentation or something) or higher up (especially here!) you always use "we". Even if it is a section that only you worked on or you did most of the work. You can often pick out good managers by just seeing if they talk like this, if their focus is around what they individually did or what their team accomplished.

My point is, it is rarely a single individual's success when things work.
Data Management Trends from an Investor Perspective
For a lot of people, I think overcoming inertial energy is among the hardest parts of starting to blog. For that reason, I think there's a strong temptation to start with wordpress.com, because it's a standard 30-second sign-up process.

That's what I did many years ago, and I'm still there. Wordpress.com is easy and that's why it's big.

(Note: this is not an argument against rolling your own. Do it if you want to!)
I think it's just a sieve that removes multiples of 2 and 3, leaving false positives that are multiples of 5, 7, 11, etc.
Those and other reasons make absolute sense, but I would imagine somebody to offer basic banking to the unbanked with a reasonable fee structure etc and just take the market. Germany's banking system is terribly customer hostile, but we've got that covered. The US is the motherland of disrupting old industries, why is it that it's not sorted out yet?

I get why some old self-important bank does not want to deal with the poor and makes faces if you suggest it, but somebody has to yell pecunia non olet and jump int.

The article text seems to indicate that Palantir was offering data analysis software/services to the British government for a nominal fee. It doesn't seem like NHS was selling the data, they just needed some services, and paying £1 was required to bind Palantir in a contract.

This title really seems like click-bait.

I agree with the overall point that design is about more than looks, but my impression is that design as practiced by the IDEO / Stanford d.school / design thinking crowd is a quite different beast from what’s being taught inside most architecture schools.

The former tries to distill design into a largely linear, repeatable process (that can be peddled by consultants, if I’m being a bit cynical), the latter would characterize such approaches as reductionist and limiting.
Name changes of popular OSS projects feels contentious, but like anything built on language it's inherently political and full of bias. As with anything, it's worth striving to improve things where we can. There are a few great examples including:

2. Whitelist -> Allowlist API in Rails: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/33677

Hi there! Ryan from the Zipline founding team / Romo product lead.

We always had aspirations of building robots that solved real problems. Our early plan was to slowly make the toy robot more and more useful. But suddenly in 2013, it felt like the robotics industry was moving much faster than we expected. We threw out the plan and started searching for the highest impact work we could do.

We spent months talking to customers, exploring technical approaches, and decided to race to bring something to market. Within two years, we were making daily lifesaving deliveries by drone.

I evaluated Squid which was my first option, due to the existing code on the project I integrated the proxy, it wasn't that straightforward to interact with Squid.

I'm still thinking to use several Pies and it's simpler to evolve the custom-made proxy to support that, if you see the Github repo, it's pretty simple.

Last, getting a Scala project to run on the old Pi was a nice experiment worth trying.

Interesting note about Firefox there.

I've certainly expirenced the missing "missing intermediate cert" problem before. It is a bit of a nightmare to debug.

1. Had issue, raise support ticket: TLS not working

2. Ticket closed as can't reproduce

3. Try myself again locally, also can't reproduce. Hmpf!

4. 2 months goes by..

5. Experience same issue. Debug more carefully locally, use openssl go get proof of missing intermediate

6. Raise support ticket with platform team, then try to convince them that just because most people are not affected, it still needs to be fixed!

I am starting to appreciate incremental advice. As for taking on challenging projects, it seems like, on surface level, a very trivial problem to solve. They keep talking about the hard "technical problems" (you know, what's the hardest technical problem you solved is a common interview question).

A particular question piques my interest: if this is a simple problem, what are the hard problems and can I even approach them if I fail at a simple one? Or alternatively, if this is a hard problem, why is it hard despite delivering little value to the end user, and what are the simple problems?
If I have $50 and I use my credit card, and send $50 each to my very trusted friends A, B, and C via, say, Venmo, is that not fractional reserve banking, built on top of my credit with my bank?

It seems that data-related crimes and oversights ("oops we've been hacked") are generally not being punished adequately. It's just data, right? No one got hurt. I have never heard of CEOs going to jail over any of the data breaches and abuses that are reported all the time. So I'd say the risk they'd face by "breaking trust" is fairly minimal.

And, actually tracing back how a machine learning algorithm might have gobbled up this data, to be used in 5 years in a way that no one can predict, is not easy either.

Last year I had to use a Dell 7540 (may have the exact model number wrong, but it was one of their enterprise "workstation" laptops) with Ubuntu for work. I was also skeptical for the same reason as you, not having used Linux as a daily driver for a long time.

FWIW these laptops were rock solid and ran Linux just fine. Sleep also seemed to work as well(I'd have tried hibernation if I knew how. That's my preferred mode on Windows to save unnecessary power consumption).

I was quite impressed and while my personal daily needs are fully Windows-based, I would not hesitate to recommend those laptops to anyone who wants to get away from Windows.
Short answer: Because this is my experience over the long term.

Long Answer: I didn't say that only open source can fix bugs in 24 hours but, in order to get your bug fixed in 24h in a closed source software, you need to pay some top dollar for that service. Otherwise you'll most probably wait for the next point release which may or may not contain a fix to your bug.

In most closed source software, the process is completely opaque after your bug report is acknowledged. You don't know when will it fixed or ever be fixed. That's not a joyful wait sometimes.

OTOH, you're absolutely right. Not all bugs in OSS is fixed in 24h straight. Some got never fixed or fixed out of the tree. Also, an awful lot of software dies. OSS projects probably die more because they are one man shows most of the time unless they get a loyal following and they are very very good. However, you can compile and patch a dead open source project. You can't revive closed source software once it's dead and bit-rotten.

I want to give a couple of fresh examples, from Intel.

I have an HP Spectre X2 detachable tablet PC which runs Windows 10. This PC has an embedded Intel Wireless Dual AC 7265 card. Out of the box, thing works great. Rock solid. Windows updated its driver in some point and that driver which, has WHQL seal and everything, crashes that wireless card. You need to reset the card every time the card goes low power mode and comes back.

Intel has an even more recent driver, which does not fix the issue. The PC has a full fleet of updates too. BIOS, ME firmware, board FW and what not. Nope. The problem is still there. What's the best solution? Roll back that driver to initial version. Now it works. Can Intel fix this? Of course! In 24h? Why not? Will they fix it? Of course not! Why? AC 7265 is EOL, so no incentives. However, on paper all of these drivers support 7265.

2nd example is e1000e Linux driver, again from Intel. This is an open source Intel Ethernet card driver which supports whole fleet of cards. From lowish-end to top end silicon. Intel added a new feature to this driver and some cards started to crash, incl. mine (relevant bugzilla is [0]). Patch is isolated, distributions rolled it back relatively quickly and many people are back on track. Kernel people are still looking at it without rush since, everything is working without the latest patch.

Who wrote the last crashing patch? Intel. Can they fix it? Of course! Even in 24h? They may if they really want to. Will they fix it? Of course not! Why? Not enough incentives.

Bonus: While unrelated to both, I've waited a company to change a string comparison to case insensitive mode (or just capitalize the first name of the file they bundle) for a software that I bought for over a year. I reported that thing 10+ times! They didn't fix it ever. I changed the name of the file on every update. Over and over.

Substack, AFAIK, doesn't let you own your own domain. This is arguably less of a concern with an email newsletter than a blog, but I confess it'd be enough to make me point back to Ghost, which added full email newsletter management -- complete with Stripe integration, if one wishes to charge -- in v3.

(Also, I confess a bit of hesitance with any platform whose TOS restricts content for any reason other than legality, which IIRC Substack's TOS does. If I started a fiction newsletter and wanted, with appropriate communication to my audience, to send out a piece that contained graphic sex, I don't really want my hosting provider to tell me that's not allowable. It's surprising how hard it is to find places that close off that possibility: as it turns out, the vast majority of the commercial internet is not, in fact, for porn.)
This is vague but it was a while ago... some researcher was trying to make AI more accessible to the public by downplaying high expectations. She represented it as a cartoon dog, amiable, willing, but evidently none too bright. I believe it was no more than an experiment, though a clever one. Ring anyone's bell?
> Self-hosting WordPress is a really bad choice in fact. Every self-hosted WordPress blog I follow in my RSS reader eventually becomes a content farm.

Nonsense.

I've been using WordPress since Jan 2004 and followed a huge number of sites. Not a single one has turned into a 'content farm'.

Yes some have stopped blogging. A very very small number have switched to a different way of creating their site. But what you say is nonsense.

>"The only way to not become a content farm is to use commercial hosting"

Junk statement. It's the owner of the blog that determines the content, not the host.

I would suggest that you followed the wrong sites.

I still use WordPress
I switched to sway, which has very good performances, Firefox under wayland also flies, it's been the fastest browsing experience so far. I can have hundred of tabs open with tree style tabs with no lag whatsoever.

Sway has absolutely zero tearing, for this it is very good.

But, a few issues (mostly wayland and not sway related):

· First you need an AMD card, I don't really have a problem with that as their cards are good now. But if your laptop has nvidia, you are screwed.

· Copy paste still fuzzy

· No global hotkey. Well you have to configure them at the WM level, things like discord push to mute will not work.

· Hard to capture (OBS cannot capture wayland app yet without major tinkering and testing)

· Many popup widgets are positioned on the wrong monitor (like fcitx popup for japanese input)

· Complex X apps are slow or will just crash crash, for example qgis is unusable in X mode and crash in wayland mode, audacity do not update properly…

· Some things require tons of tinkering to get right, like having the proper rendering pipeline, for example using mpv, but when you get it right, you can play 4k movies with 3% cpu usage.

· Tray/notification icons are hard to setup and won't work 100%.

Disclaimer: I use sway on a large desktop workstation, so I cannot comment on issues like power, sleep, external monitors…

Singapore to give out virus-tracing devices
I run a number of news website scrapers for various projects. Originally I ran them all on AWS EC2 instances and racked up sizeable bills. Recently though, I pulled an unused Raspberry Pi from my desk drawer, installed them all onto the Pi, and now run them for near free from my desk! Granted I need to be a little bit more efficient with memory and processor cycles, but that’s a fun little challenge. I find if you respect the websites in terms of not hitting them multiple times a minute (or only once an hour which I do) then you’ll very seldom get banned.
The title is literally correct, I don’t see any clickbait.
Isn’t the expression used rhetorically device and therefore should be interpreted in a non-literal fashion?

Why not just use the SSH dynamic SOCKS5 proxy?

Just ssh -D 12345 raspberry
and then just use localhost:12345 as the scrapers SOCKS5 proxy. No need to involve a http proxy.

What's interesting, does that strategy end like: less effective ads -> need more of them -> raise ad price + show more of them?

Another thing is regarding k-anonymity which I suppose privacy-first guys would use. If I gather user info with a high entropy, I don't have an incentive to sell it to anybody and create a competitor, and it'd probably illegal to do that. But if I anonymize the data set into a k-anon data it's now less restrictive to sell from legal point, also I'll probably sell that data to third parties just to make ends meet.
The data for use in model training is worth far more to Palantir. They can spin it as being nice and helping with COVID-19 but in reality Palantir couldn’t buy this data even if they wanted to... so they got the U.K. government to give it to them! Clever.

Splunk your Apache Kafka without building a pipeline
I’m not quite sure of your point—the cart was obviously found in a swamp and would have been poorly suited to hauling things up “steep hills”. I would at least have used a spoked wheel if I were arguing the obvious need of a handcart, the weight and stability difference over rough terrain is quite large. That, or provided video evidence you want to haul a solid wood cart up a steep hill with groceries.

I’m pointing out projecting modern needs backwards out of speculation isn’t likely to yield much understanding of why someone didn’t invent a handcart in precolumbian mesoamerica. Jared Diamond at least compares the material conditions of the two sets of continents—that seems like a decent tactic for approaching the past, even if I do have large complaints with his confident narratives.
