In Germany we have a similar phenomena too. Hard to translate, but unemployed people are now called employment-searching people for example. I get it, there are some people that think they are lazy, instead almost everyone wants to get a job. The terms are constructed to counter these prejudices, but unemployed people actually feel more discriminated against because of the blatant paternalism from academics that have no idea about being unemployed or actually working in a free economy.

Social sciences call that framing and I think it is really not constructive in many ways. Euphemisms don't help the people in question. Their last crusade is of course the gendered nature of our language, so every maskuline term has to be changed to be neutral. They could open their own mental asylum by now. To be fair, there are many social workers that really put in effort and have long since given up to fight against this insanity. But those are the one who actually have contact to patients.... CLIENTS! I am sorry, we don't call them patients anymore if their suffering is due to mental conditions....

Yeah, I have no idea how that works. "Just wing it!" but literally.
Why are you still using the N900? Its kernel, browser and SSL libraries haven't been upgraded in years and years now. If you connect to a network, you are just asking to be pwned.

I kept my N900 for years longer than most people because it has a quality DAC and, as long as I kept it in airplane mode, it was a good music player for the classical and jazz I listen to on high-quality headphones when traveling. But eventually I realized that the N900 could be totally replaced by simply adding a Bluetooth DAC to the Android smartphone I already have (and I'm glad I did that, because the BTR3-FiiO Bluetooth amp I got sounds even better than the N900).

I recently got a Pinephone, but it’s hard to enthuse about it. So much of the cool things you could go with the N900 – Emacs and the whole OS it brings along, writing your own scripts in the terminal – were due to its hardware keyboard. A modern smartphone that lacks a hardware keyboard is just a pain to hack.
Nailed this. This is about controlling the 99% of folks who aren't going to take the extra step of using a decentralized service. Think about how hard it is to get friends and family members on board with something super easy to use like Signal. Open source decentralized services are DOA for the overwhelming majority of people.

That's what I was thinking of (most recently seen by me in a Rule 63 quartet complete with costume horses for New Year's carnival).

Sorry if it wasn't a kids' show; I had assumed so from the all the YouTube comments when I discovered it to the effect of "cool, I totally remember watching this at my grandmother's." But maybe that says more about how old current internauts were in 1978 than what the target audience really had been?
> It's not a lie. Cloudflare is the nameserver, and the CDN. So after resolution the end user still has just a Cloudflare IP.

> In 2011 Google wrote an IETF draft to send Client IP information using the EDNS0 extension and this is usually called ‘edns-client-subnet’. As a DNS client, it means that a truncated version of your IP address will be added into the DNS request. The DNS server will use this truncated IP address to make a more informed decision in how it responds so that you can be connected to the most optimal server. This standard is promoted by the Faster Internet initiative and already adopted by some leading vendors.

Because it is designed to keep privacy, the sender has the freedom to limit the client IP information. Instead of sending a full IP address, the DNS server is able to send partial information such as /24 only. For instance, if your IP address is 66.214.81.22, the DNS server will only expose the first three octets, so 66–214–81. Armed with the real IP address of the querying device, the DNS server can now come up with a much more accurate response.
With this more intelligent routing, customers have a better Internet experience with lower latency and faster speeds. Best of all, this integration is being done using an open standard that is available for any company to integrate into their own platform.

source: https://engineering.salesforce.com/why-is-edns-important-for...

Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 for consumers kills EDNS "edns-client-subnet" and instead offers the ip of the nearest cloudflare server to the user even if the website is not using cloudflare. This means your website can not ever serve content faster then cloudflare even if you could potentially be faster.

This is the reason why many internet archives do not allow access to cloudflare client dns (1.1.1.1) users as a form of protest.

BTW, Cloudflare allows you to get informed about the end user's ip via a "x-forwarded-for" header.
He's not wrong about virtualization. I use Linux constantly at home and at work. I can't remember the last time I used a computer that booted into Linux.
So, this is the real reason of the switch to arm "apple proprietary" cpus.

- First step, only Os X is able to run and the machine and apple control all the layers of the "stupid buyers" hardware to ensure TPM and signed bootloader/os.

- When no OS alternative, they can complete the current evolution to force using signed/notarized third party applications.

- Once everyone will already submit their binaries for apple validation, they could suddenly force users to use the Mac App Store. And prevent any installation outside of it.
(As always, officially it will be for security and convenience of users...)

- Then, they will have the same level of control of your computer as they have on the iPad and iPhone.

- Then, you will have no right anymore on your own computer...

That is the dream of Apple and Microsoft for a few years.
Hopefully this strategy failed for Microsoft and their AppStore, but in their case they did not have control over the hardware!
> Plot twist: Scott's real name has been easily findable for at least a year, based on his own words. So I don't understand why he went full nuclear.

He pointed out that there’s a difference between googleable by looking up someone’s words, where you have to do a bit of work to find it, and it being published in the NYT.

> It's also an assumption by everybody that the NYT article was going to be a hit piece, even though there's no evidence of that whatsoever.

Is that the assumption? Again, going by his words (as well as others who were interviewed for it) it was going to be a generally very positive article.
Thank God for that (niche reason being fine grained performance and thermal management on inadequately cooled machines, which is... all of them :D)
I wish there was something to break me out of my YT filter bubble. I feel like I've watched / decided to skip every single one of the videos YT home page recommends me and would like some fresher content.

It is so bad now that it won't even show me content from my subscriptions if I haven't watched those specific channels in a while - For several months last year, I was really into photography channels and my feed was just gear reviews, photo technique videos and such. Now I barely see them anymore and I have to hunt down people I like / subscribed to and watch their videos manually. Serendipity is totally lost.

This should be a simpler problem than getting balanced news, anyone have any tips on how to solve it?

A note on genetic engineering: a relatively new tool called CRISPR is changing the field. A grad student with a few hundred dollars is now capable of inserting, removing, or modifying specific genes in the entire genome. It's becoming relatively trivial to make Frankenstein plants.
What amazes me most is the cascade of reasoning. It's the most obscene misuse of logic, that might be fine only if it comes from a toddler.

"criticising protesters" leads to "support militia", that leads to "support their murders", so he "do(es) not support the black lives matter", therefore wants "continuation of black people being murdered".

Imagine that for a guy that had his car turned upside down by protesters and was complaining about that.
I suspect that would be a short book.

I do and I don’t think it’s an important distinction at all.

That being said, I of course know that the Chinese government didn’t force Apple to implement this privacy violating feature, and I know that the Chinese government didn’t force Apple to allow TikTok to abuse it. But many people see Apple as a privacy conscious company thanks to its marketing, and its good to remind people that for Apple, privacy is simply a marketing gimmick.
I guess in some way it’s sad, in another way it’s a feature that really not many Mac users are asking for.

I read somewhere that boot camp usage is down to something like 2% of Mac users. In the early days of boot camp it was in the double digits. A lot of the people who “switched to Mac” used it as a safety net in case their apps weren’t on the Mac.

In 2020, third party application support for macOS is so much more comprehensive that booting into another operating system doesn’t really make sense. Even though it’s possible, the Mac is really a terrible machine for other operating systems. Aside from Windows being a mediocre experience it’s already very difficult to run Linux.

Apple’s business model in a way predates Microsoft’s disruptive strategy of selling operating system licenses to compatible OEMs. In my understanding of computing history, the earliest computers around the Apple II era largely had each computer manufacturer writing their own operating system software. Apple seems to just happen to be the only company that survived that particular business model.

Even sadder that no-one will probably now start their programming career, as I did, with Perl as their first language. I feel honoured. At the time it was a toss-up between Java, which my house-mate was using every day to write banking apps at work, or Perl - that funky linguistic creation which granted you magical powers. No contest.

Euthanizing of Dangerous Bee Hive (2020)

Euthanizing of Dangerous Human Hive (2120)
Often people find it easier to reason about real life situations than equivalent formal abstractions. This passage from a novel I read recently demonstrated this principle well. No idea if the statistics are correct, but for me at least the first formulation required some reasoning and the second was immediately obvious.

Good vs. Good
It sounds like you are bringing up the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_paradox. There is an excellent paper by Jaynes on this: https://bayes.wustl.edu/etj/articles/gibbs.paradox.pdf

The point of the Gibbs paradox is that exchanging two different shoes of the same color is not a new microstate, if all black shoes are considered identical. When they should be considered identical and when they shouldn't be is a bit more complicated, and the Jaynes paper goes into that.
C++ was created in 1979 - I doubt Symbian adopted it "very early".

Also, the standard doesn't specify "how exceptions work" even today, in the sense that a lot of what happens when running C++ is implementation dependent.

But I can see what you mean about sticking to pre-C++11 (maybe even pre-C++98 ?) APIs.

They won't stop using strong encryption. The big national security issue is not a break of government encryption; it's a break on civilian encryption.

Consider a foreign adversary with the ability to break encryption used by banks, credit card companies, large retail facilities, hospitals, etc.

There are a few things that seem tempting-- think "steal from the banks", but a lot of that is unlikely to work, anyway. Banks and wire transfer systems have auditing and verification measures in place that would make it difficult to pull this off successfully. Credit card companies and retailers would have a serious issue with reissuing cards, etc.

What would turn things upside-down is the LOSS OF FAITH in these systems and the economic, social, and practical effects. The Russians would be all to happy to exploit this.

Suppose somebody recovers the necessary keys to send out fake-but-authenticated buy/sell orders on the NYSE, NASDAQ, or even commodities exchanges, with the specific intent of causing havoc with algorithmic trading, and causes a crash.

Suppose somebody is able to break into JP Morgan Chase and reveal private records, transfer information, and the session keys used to decrypt them.

Suppose somebody is able to modify a single prescription in West Bumfuck, Georgia, cause their death, and show off that they can do it again.

In all of these cases, you would see an immediate collapse of trust in important institutions. If the attackers make clear that their ability to fuck things up is the result of backdoored crypto, there would likely be spillover from one institution to the others-- "I can't even trust my pharmacy; how the hell can I trust my bank?!"

That collapse of trust would result in severe, immediate, and possibly unrecoverable damage to entire industries. That would likely destroy a lot of wealth as stocks take a giant shit.

Could somebody DO that? With backdoored cryptio, I'd say it's likely, even inevitable. Backdoored crypto either has to have a mathematical weakness inserted somewhere into the algorithm itself (in which case I would expect adversarial equivalents of the NSA to hire fucktons of mathematicians and tell them find and exploit said backdoor), or you have to do some form of key escrow (in which case the master keys used to protect session keys will be SUPER high priority for attack, including technical attacks and the famous "give the right disgruntled IT worker a bunch of money" attack).

Strong, un-tampered-with encryption is SERIOUSLY vital for national security.

Yes, some companies already have issues with this due to shit security practice, but those can be treated as isolated incidents. If it becomes clear that EVERYBODY is fucked, I would expect to see the market crash worse than it has during the pandemic.

EARN-IT is NOT OKAY by a long shot, but as others have pointed out, this is an attempt to make EARN-IT look like a responsible, reasonable compromise. It isn't a reasonable compromise, but Congress is basically a giant bag of assholes, s we're probably screwed.
Deutsche Bank is not a state institution, neither is it partially or fully owned by a state entity (like Deutsche Bahn or VW). The national bank would be deutsche Bundesbank.

Except when you realize all of those implementations needed to be coded by Microsoft. There was no way for a third party to plug in. I heard some things from MS people that the clients for IM services were driven server side which would have made it hard and inelegant to add additional protocols.

Nokia's maemo had this done with better execution. The SMS app had a plug-in for xmpp and I used it for Google talk. I think I used a third party one for Google voice. There was a Skype one that supported calling through the normal phone app but it didn't work very well. The clients were run on the phone and not in the cloud.

Better than risk of accidentally dropping out of meetings abruptly. I see many people still manage to do this and it takes a couple minutes to get them back on.

I use docker lot on the Mac when I need a Linux environment but, overall, the Mac side is a functional Unix environment, so I'm quite happy with it.

I would, however, welcome the ability to boot Linux for when Apple decides it's time to sunset the model.

I think it is extremely egotistical to think that your way is the only way to do things. If some people are not good enough with text files, then by all means we should provide tools so they can help create simple apps without traditional programming skills.
It’s not just security theater: ask how many people will use Linux intentionally versus how many will be compromised by malware which uses the same technique for persistence?

You might be able to do something like encrypting the macOS partitions with a key which won’t be given to a non-trusted boot path but that’s a lot of work and new security risk for something which almost nobody will use since most people are buying Macs for the software and very few people have needs which can’t be satisfied by running Linux under the built-in hypervisor.
Maybe in some circles it was well publicised but in many articles around the time it's nothing more than a single sentence mention, e.g., [0] which is near the bottom, [1] or [2] which are closer to the top but still not really the point of the articles. The Telegraph link from DanBC's post mentions them a few more times for comparison.

I hold the relatively new opinion that being a fanboy, of any company, is no longer a tenable position. There are no good guys, there are no bad guys, they're just corporations.

This has been on my mind a lot recently. Of course, I knew this. But the grip of corporations on our daily live has increased a lot now that software is eating the world. So the effects are more profound.

It has also enforced my belief that it is only worth investing significant mental energy and free time in non-profit, free software communities. While they are not perfect, their interests are typically much more aligned with our own. And in the worst case, the source code, hardware designs, etc. are always available to pass the baton.
They have been grounded.
I would phrase the question as "why would you write Typescript when we have Purescript (or ReasonML)"?

Why would you choose to write a language who's type system is much less expressive than languages like Purescript? Why not have that expressive power and its ability to prevent some classes of bugs, and still have good interop with JS?
