That describes my own personal hell with iam, and it drove me to adopt aws-cdk.

aws-cdk is their infra-as-code product and it's extremely valuable for iam alone.

You can say things like: my_lambda.grantRead(s3_bucket)

And it figures out the least privileges necessary to make all of that work.

Plus it's real code, not some annoying DSL, which means you can easily abstract other iam permissions out. I have a fairly tight lambda policy that I reuse in all sorts of places, and it's as easy to use as the above snippet.

Thank you for this perspective.

I’ve been reading Mike Monteiro’s Ruined by Design. In one of the chapters he points out how tech companies’ policies for the communities they create are set by “tech bros” - predominantly white privileged males, who have never experienced life as a poor person, or as a woman or as a person of color, or as a non-heteronormative person or a combination of the above.

He quotes a conversation with a female designer friend of his, discussing twitter’s anti-abuse policies added a few years ago. She said that if there were any women on the team, Twitter would’ve never had launched without tools to solve abuse.

But that problem never existed in the universe of the original decision makers.

I would die for an good proper view of the instruction decoder. While there are some (still not many) resources on microcode. I have yet to see an extensive look at the exact logic of the instruction decoder.

I don't know if the following is also the case for 8086 but recent cpu's have seperate decoding units for sub 4/5 bytes instructions. I would be interested in how it is known that an instruction is able to be decoded by those units of which multiple exist instead of the single full 15 byte decoder

I would argue banning TikTok if it had politics would be even worse.

Just today Facebook deleted the QAnon group. In a free speech society, such control of “what’s good for us” should not be necessary.

While China’s authoritarian government can certainly be abused, they often ban things under the same excuse of “promoting harmony” and to ensure the public does not have Access to misinformation (nor information harmful to the regime). We’re not much more different if we have powerful players who can arbitrarily ban things under the same goals, even if momentarily altruistic.

Datafun is quite cool! Formulog and Datafun seem similar---both combine logic programming and pure functional programming---but they take wildly different approaches.

Datafun is a foundational re-imagining of what a Datalog could look like: start with a higher-order programming language and give it a first-class notion of least fixed points. A type system for tracking monotonicity lets you roll your own Datalog. It's impressive that you can reconstruct semi-naive evaluation (morally: in each 'round' of evaluation, only apply rules matching new results) in their setting (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3371090). Datafun is still a ways away from the performance and implementation maturity of existing Datalogs, though.

Formulog's approach is to try to let Datalog be Datalog as much as possible. We end up with restrictions around higher-order functions and other FP features in order to keep things simple on the Datalog side---quite the opposite of Datafun's fancy type system. Our Formulog interpreter does pretty well with internment, parallel execution, and magic sets, but you could easily port our design to existing Datalog compilers and get even bigger speedups. It's not clear how to do that for Datafun... yet.

(I suspect you could port our SMT interface to Datafun without too much of a problem, too.)
Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal offer more than transactions though; they have "buyer protection", "seller protection", etc.

Very interesting video if you're into compilation hacks.

I always appreciate when a creator is willing to do something a little more niche (In this case, a lot of stuff related to compilation/decompilation, file formats, x86 and hardware hacking).

Glad this channel is getting more recognition, I've particularly enjoyed their videos on LEGO Island and the one on the Mario 64 compilation mistake.
I think the saying goes: The Queen doesn't say she is the queen, because everyone already knows.

The reverse is also true, if someone has to say they are important, then they are likely not actually important.

Applying this to the QAnon 'motto' of 'Where we go one, we go all', I think you can conclude that if they have to say it, then it's not true. Most adherents are then, mostly, alone.

The feeling of community and belonging that these people get is obviously missing in their lives otherwise. That they find these feelings via image macros, chat boxes, and videos speaks to the depth of loss they feel in their lives.

I'm not disagreeing with most of your comment above, except for how the post reads. To be accurate, the post's author set the context to general-purpose computing, not the scientific one. Here are two arguments for why I think so.

1. Intro section (italics emphasis mine).

"... delivering complex enterprise projects:

Julia is fast, and has a very nice syntax, but its ecosystem is not mature enough for use in serious production projects.

For many years I would agree with it, but after JuliaCon 2020 I believe we can confidently announce that

Julia is production ready!"

2. Section "Building microservices and applications". Even more so, practically all sections in the post, except just one ("Managing ML workflows"), describe various general-purpose and enterprise computing aspects.

Therefore, I don't see how one could view the post and author's conclusion purely from scientific computing perspective.

Your definition of "theft" is a bit too broad, don't you think?

Usually theft means that the original owner is deprived of goods - they can't use them, can't sell them, they simply don't the the original item. This is simply not the case for digital goods. HBO won't lose money when I download GOT, won't they?
I think this is an excellent suggestion, assuming the post office survives an ongoing calculated attempt to cripple and privatize it. Routing digital payment requests to bank addresses is a natural extension of the responsibility of routing all physical mail to any physical address.
As opposed to Apple, Google doesn't mandate that your payments go through the store. You could as well do your own payment processing.

I feel like that quote is more relevant today than ever.
China didn't ban Google or Facebbook. China has laws that required Google and Facebook to keep their servers within Chinese borders and they chose to not follow those rules, hence preventing them from operating in China. Whereas Tiktok has complied with all the laws in US thus far but still banned because of baseless national security concerns. And that's the issue here.

>A new factor in the equation, however, is how much cheaper and less labor intensive it becomes to create new music. If you make it so that anybody can produce vocals, that changes the game for a lot of genres (eg. EDM).

With DAWs, home studios, VSTs, 24/96 interfaces, and so on, and most hits being electronic anyway, plus widespread mastering and mixing knowledge and services, the margins to create new music are already as low as it gets.

Cost is not the problem, we have the exact opposite issue: overproduction without corresponding demand, and with difficult to get listener attention.

The ones making it wont be the ones producing more music cheaper, but the ones promoting their music best.
All of these firms use Game Engines? Or maybe everyone on Twitter used too much hyperbole.
We did self-seating, and it worked out great. Many of the tables were exactly what we would've chosen, like "spouse's work friends", but it also let us avoid sticky situations like "number of aunts and uncles don't easily divide by the size of the tables". We wound up with great hybrids like "several cousins but also one aunt and uncle".

Later I learned that decades earlier two brothers had stopped speaking forever over a misinterpretation of the searing arrangement at a family event - it was meant to be a table of "close family", but the attendee assigned there thought it was "the kids' table".

It isn’t like your ‘platform’ is a part of who you are. You could buy a device that they support.

Content creators/providers are legally allowed to restrict the platforms they support. For example, you have to watch some live sports through a cable tv subscription. There is no way to pay for it separately.

Does this suck? Sure, but cable companies pay enough money to make it worth all the lost customers (or at least that is what they are betting on)

You have no legal right to access content under your terms. Content creators have (nearly) complete control (there are some laws around what they can do, but requiring Linux support is not one of them)
This is a neat hack for reducing PDF file sizes. As you may know, macOS already has a built-in filter to reduce file size, but for me, it often results in almost unreadable documents.

I think the part of the answer is that in the US legal system the discovery process is disproportionately expansive and expensive, being adversarial in nature, as opposed to many civil law countries where the judge tells both parties what documents they will have to produce so that the judge can rule. Here you argue with each other why you both need to review 100k or millions of results of keyword searches. Actually an individual or very small company litigant would be at an advantage not having much in the way of records to search.
That's not what Wikipedia says (which is not to say your statement is false or wrong):

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Facebook#China

> In China, Facebook was blocked following the July 2009 Ürümqi riots because Xinjiang independence activists were using Facebook as part of their communications network, and Facebook denied giving the information of the activists.[12] Some Chinese users also believed that Facebook would not succeed in China after Google China's problems.[13] Renren (formerly Xiaonei) has many features similar to Facebook, and complies with PRC Government regulations regarding content filtering.

> As of 20 August 2013, there have been reports of Facebook being partially unblocked in China.[14] However, according to the "Blocked in China" website, Facebook is still blocked as of December 7, 2019.[15] Facebook is not blocked in the autonomous zones of Hong Kong and Macau, as well as the province of Taiwan. Facebook is currently working on a censorship project for China, where a third party would be allowed to regulate on Facebook and control popular stories that come around. This would be a huge attempt on Facebook to get back into China.[16]
Does that mean HBO are giving Linux users a license to pirate because that's cheaper for HBO than supporting them? Where do I sign up?

What's beyond ridiculous is that I get HBO Max with my internet but I can't use it. Great...
Right. UPI appears to be a payment system only. Not a sales transaction system. When you buy something with a credit card, there is evidence of a transaction in both directions - you buy some thing from a seller. That allows disputes, dispute resolution, and reversal.

A one-way payment system, such as Venmo, lacks that. (Venmo is trying to retrofit a dispute mechanism, for which they charge 3% extra.) What's Google proposing? Probably something with terms that include "sole discretion" (theirs) and forced arbitration.
>I recently found some incredibly underrated Zelda remixes that are jaw dropping and have barely been heard at all: https://youtu.be/4r9S2yEiuME*

Those are 1.6 million views. For mere Zelda remives.

Hugely influential albums in the past and hugely important works in all genres have gotten less than 100K buyers. The Velvet Underground first album is said to have initially sold 30,000 units in its first years.

And let's not go into bands like The Residents, The Meat Puppets, The Long Ryders, and so on.

Yes, the entire state apparatus bows to the whims of one man, which is almost definitionally a totalitarian state. We’re lucky, at the moment, that the totalitarian in charge has few concrete ideas and lacks the attention span to see through even those few.
If it was totally legal to pirate all content, why would anyone pay for it? And if no one pays for content, why would HBO finance its creation?

It is disingenuous to say piracy doesn’t cost anything to the content creators.
No. Trumps delayed ban is for a wiggle room for an American company (Microsoft) to acquire US and other non-China assets.

This effectively means that the app is not a national security threat but the ownership of it is.

And that threat was as determined by the executive without any charges.

I am opposed to such unilateral powers where the executive plays godfather and decides the rules of the game.
