This was already happening, but I think the pandemic will drive it through. Commodity/cupboard shopping will happen online, and fresh meat, vegetables, fruit, seafood shopping happen locally. Supermarket sites are also hugely tempting for housing redevelopment, that will happen as soon as footfall consistently drops below a threshold.
Checked out the artists blog and found this: https://driesdepoorter.be/quickfix/

It's a art installation that allows you to buy likes on
Instagram, Facebook, etc. Really interesting idea, shows how disposable those things are. It's amazing what people will do in order to get a couple of rows in the likes table of a social media website.
Awesome! I will use this. I would like this even more if it stopped at filenames (ignored paths) and when equal, sorted by file sizes.

If iced buns cost 20 times more than ordinary buns, then yes, but I know that they don't. I've done extensive research at my local Greggs.

'Ironing water' is a marketing term designed to get people to pay far more for something than they need to. If it was sold as 'perfumed distilled water for ironing' I'd take much less issue with it.

I really enjoy books that span over human civilisation as it's a nice reminder how much we've achieved as a species as well as the destruction we've caused along the way. Have you ever read Bill Brysons a short history of nearly everything?

If you enjoyed that then I would say you would definitely enjoy Sapiens as I found it more interesting and less "text booky". I'm currently reading Homo Deus and enjoying it.
If Moore’s Law keeps on going, it’s only a short matter of time before not only can we upload a single consciousness to a probe, but a fully functioning copy of all our society’s members’ consciousnesses. They will either be able to interact and amuse themselves and evolve during the trip, have their threads suspended and thus essentially put into hibernation until arrival, run at some clock-reduced rate so they perceive the travel as being extremely swift, or some combination of any of these items, and then some.

If Moore’s Law doesn’t keep on going... well, then... perception of (very) swift travel it is... ;)

Care to enlighten? I've been using all three, and I'd rate Linux to be miles ahead of MacOs, which is a few steps ahead of Windows.

For what an OS should do, Linux does it far better, and Windows does it terribly with its ancient nt kernel.

Then it comes down to usability for end user, gnome gets out of the way, and allows pretty good customization. MacOs is pretty mediocre and restrictive. And Windows is again pretty bad.

Then it comes to software availability, which is a bit a chicken and egg issue that I don't find too much value in. If the software availability restricts you, then you got to do what you got to do, with the options available.

Then it comes to value for hardware. And here, oh my how things have changed in the past 5-10 years. If you don't buy a mac for the software availability, or for some other restriction, you are literally making a terrible purchase. You get a far worse computer for more than twice the cost. This is no exaggeration. Upgrading components when buying is somewhere between twice and ten times more expensive than the equivalent components.
Your observations are quite subjective and flawed. Yes, Disney world is open, that is hardly the end of it. Is it the same Disney World as before the pandemic? It’s not a binary situation. You can’t just point out that because a place is now open, instead of closed, therefore there are no precautions being taken. We can be debate whether they are taking enough precautions, but you can’t just use this the way you have in this article.

This whole article is just a gut check without real evidence.
I can't stop wondering (sincerely, not for a "holywar" sake or anything) why we still use tar.whatever today, when ~99% of us have never seen a tape drive.

.tar.gz felt such a wild step backwards after 7z when I switched from Windows to Linux. Why can't we just introduce links and access rights metadata to 7z or something and use a modern, feature-rich archive format which wouldn't require you to decompress everything just to get a clue if there is a particularly named file in there?

To be fair if they didn't write that then forcing convicted persons to do any work as part of their rehabilitation would be illegal, for instance community service sentences. A constitution provides the bare minimum rights. The nitty gritty should be dealt with in higher level more mutable law. It's the complete dysfunction of the law making bodies that is the problem.
There's also the Fxtec Pro phone [0], which doesn't look too bad from the spec and the reviews. If I were on the lookout for a new phone I'd seriously consider it.

For some reason I never get along with screen keyboards, even after 8 years or so. I press the wrong key every 5 characters or so, and the auto correct is very seldom right.

I've tried many keyboards, currently I've settled on google keyboard app. I'm very unhappy with its accuracy, but it's slightly better than the alternatives.

I should add I'm not a native English speaker, most of my phone interaction is in my native language, but when I do write English google's keyboard app's autocorrect seems to be much more intelligent. Still, the need to constantly look at it is tiring.

Maybe it's because I'm a relatively fast typist since an early age, and used to the feel of physical keys and placing my fingers just so, so I'm more annoyed with the inaccuracy of phone keyboards compared to other people, I don't know. I also tend to be very verbose in writing, compared to other people I know.

So even after 9 years I haven't touched it, I find myself still missing my old Nokia phone every time I try to write a detailed message on my new Android phone...

I'm really liking CDK so far - it feels like Typescript which I'm using it with fits is really well. Things like being able to pass variables around (like which branch to deploy!) is really nice - makes some things that would be really horrible in plain CloudFormation really easy. I do worry a bit about TypeScript (or really any 'complete' programming language) for defining infrastructure though, I could easily see loads of ways to make it really hard and complex to follow. I wonder if an eslint plugin could help keep things on the right path.
> How is $99/yr a number that any business should even care about? Even for OSS.

If you’re including solo non-business programmers in that, I’ll say I find it unreasonable to ask of an open-source developer that in addition to giving their time to develop and support their software, they should also give their money.

It’s great that $100 is chump change for you. That’s not the case for everyone, certainly not all open-source developers.

But the issue isn’t about money, it’s about the control a petty company exerts on what you can develop: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24217921

Nobody can deny that macOS has the most integrated system especially if you own an iPhone/iPad/iWatch. However, for development, it's going to depend. Excluding iOS/macOS development, the macOS is becoming less and less attractive even for web developers.
It has nothing to do with experience and everything to do with accountability. We all know what happens to Chinese bureaucrats who make the government look farcical. Californian (and many other states) bureaucrats have no such fear to keep them in line and the lack of accountability rolls down hill all the way to the lowest guy on the construction site.
Exception unwinding is not particularly cheap on the compiler although I think it's in the sense that it muddles the CFG and the register allocation rather than inserting huge amounts of code. The LLVM codebase has exceptions turned off for those reasons and binary size (it plays a role at their scale) although its quite hard to compare exceptions Vs error codes or monads for obvious reasons (LLVM's coding standards are rightly or wrongly a C++ sleuths dream with their custom dynamic casts etc.)
You could very easily say "you can do community service or serve jail time" and not have slavery in the picture at all.
May be I don't know Python that well, but in any language that has generators, wouldn't it be pretty straightforward to create a generic memoizator that would cache items of provided generator after they are requested at least once? Nothing would stop you from implementing __getitem__() on it, and the initial version of Python code would still work.

Update: googled up memoizator that almost imlements exactly what I'm talking about: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577992-memoize-generator...

Just add __getitem__() to it that would access __cache, and you're done.

GP is basically arguing it's impossible to run arbitrary software which is BS. It's not as simple as it could be, but Apple didn't prohibit it, they just hid it behind a few menus. And if you are too incompetent to click through these then you probably shouldn't be running arbitrary software. That's why the comic does not really apply here IMO.

> We are at around 50,000,000 cases.

Where is that number coming from? If you were talking about United States, you were off by a factor of 10! If you’re talking about the whole world, you’re still off by a factor of two! At least as far as confirmed cases goes.

We can all assume the number of actual cases is greater than the number of confirmed cases. How much greater, it’s really hard to say, especially as testing has ramped up significantly and I even know Americans who are getting multiple tests with quick responses in certain locations. So you can’t just make up a number as a guess and then use it as evidence.
Ok, I definitely want to know how you discovered that... (and found one of those 500 people to verify?)
I hope you are aware, that this discussion is not about 'destroying children'. It is about the effects of early touch screen usage and if it is beneficial for the development of a child. So the question is if a kid would do better or worse, not if one kid would be destroyed.

That these things have an effect shows the study above. In addition, you have to evaluate the magnitude of an effect. For example, not every high IQ person who wants to have a well-paid job has one even though a high IQ is known to have a positive impact on reaching that goal. Similarly, not every toddler who uses touchscreens regularly will show increased anti-social behavior, even though that might be a related effect.
Legal, encouraged and rewarded. Bug bounty programs allow hackers doing these kind of explorations. Although most programs advise you not to do anything once you get code execution as it might break things on production, so the final part where they started intercepting traffic might not be something I would do, but they took a calculated risk, that this is is docker container that does no critical work and it would be interesting to see if we could break out of it. So that's fine.

You can read up more of such reports at hackerone.com/hackitivity or just searching about bug bounty writeups for X organization
Most likely largely because of this:

>Rust downloaded a lot of crates, but that's probably because the Rust version of the code has more features than mine has.

I'm not talking about "each and every one". My point is that many people just use the tools they are given. For example my client has one department where everyone gets a Mac. I'm pretty sure most of them don't have a very strong opinion on the matter, as they do mostly administrative stuff (so basically MS Office). They could probably get a PC if they wanted, but again, they just don't care.

Of course people may choose MacOS. I've been using it for a very long time and hopefully that won't change anytime soon. But that doesn't mean that everybody who uses MacOS does so by choice.

I am not a lawyer ... but is that clause even enforceable under UK law?

I did my normal 2 minute Google search and found pages which suggests IP falls to the employer if created by the employee "as part of their normal duties"[1][2].

Also, I found one site[3] which has this explicit Q&A:

Q. So how do I know if a contractual provision is enforceable?

A. I’ve got three words for you – restraint of trade. Contractual terms that are in restraint of trade are not enforceable at all. For your employees’ contracts that means not drafting any IP clause too wide to ensure that your back is covered. Too wide and the clause will have no effect.

Because it's not about building infrastructure. It's about the government serving itself.

You raised a pretty good point about being able to review the BPMN. I did not immediately think of this, but now that you have mentioned it...

1. It was good for communicating the engine room

I remember demo'ing the workflows within my team, and to non-technical stakeholders. It was very easy to demonstrate what was happening, and to provide a live view into the state of things. From there, it was easy to get conversations going, e.g. about how certain business processes can be extended for more complex use-cases.

2. It empowered others to communicate their intent

Zeebe comes with a modeller which is simple enough even for non-technical users to stitch together a rough workflow. The problem is, the end-result often requires a lot of changes to be production-ready. But I have found that this still helps communicate ideas, and intent.

You do not really need BPMN for this, but if this becomes the standard practice, now you have a way of talking on the same wavelength. In my case, we were productionising ML pipelines so data scientists who were not incredibly attuned to data engineering practices, and limitations, were slowly able to open up to them. And as a data engineer, it became clearer what the requirements were.

On the point about testing, the test framework in Zeebe is still a bit immature. There is quite a few tooling / libraries in Java, but not really in other languages. The way we approached it was lots of semi-auto / manual QA, and fixing live in production (Zeebe provides several mechanisms for essentially rescuing broken workflows).

The testing in Cadence / Temporal is definitely more mature. But you do not have the same level of simplicity as Zeebe. That said, the way I like to see it / compare them, you could build something like Zeebe or even Conductor on Cadence / Temporal, but not vice versa.
Well its called managed infrastructure for a reason.
I think it’s really easy to claim anti-trust violations actually.

Apple already owns the customer because they’ve invested in the platform, but they’re not providing equitable access to software that other platforms are. This isn’t revealed to the customer though, so it’s not clear as a user that choice is being restricted in this way.

A lot of Apple’s practices have been legal up until now due to their minority market share in all markets they operate in - but what we see those markets as is changing. The App Store is a massive multi-billion dollar industry in itself that Apple holds and exploits 100% control over.

Whether or not a violation has or is occurring is for lawmakers to decide based on whether or not the App Store (or Google Play for that matter) constitute markets within the definitions provided by local laws.

You raise a good point on the chicken and egg scenario of having the K8S cluster created in AWS creating other AWS resources. Rebuilding everything from scratch will take a lot longer since you can't build concurrently.

The advantages of pulumi and terraform over this also come from HCL and the Pulumi DSL _and_ their respective state files.

This AWS controller only has the state through the API objects. Managing that is a pain because the organisation of those objects is left as an exercise for the user or other tools. Pulumi and Terraform constrain that to well thought-out DSLs.

If there was a sane unifying DSL for managing kubernetes objects it would certainly simplify things. It would not, though, solve the speed of rebuilding the infrastructure.

A fraction of those government workers are people for whom the politicians intervened to alter the hiring process in their favor. You're heads in the sand if you think the politicians aren't getting favors in return either up front or later.
