I've been using kubecfg [1] with kube.libsonnet [2]. I don't like Tanka as it imposes a given directory structure on me via scaffolding - which is a big no-no for the way I organize projects (I value very unopinionated tools in this regard). I also couldn't get into the ksonnet style of mixins/arguments, as it takes away the ease of overriding underlying Kubernetes structures.

Firefox’s criteria for installable web apps
What people miss here is Amazon's is taking advantage of the fact that the cost to deliver packages varies greatly. Where it's cheap/ easy to deliver packages, Amazon delivers their own. Where it's expensive to deliver, they outsource to UPS/ USPS/ FedEx. Delivering a package in rural areas where houses are a quarter mile apart is a lot more expensive than when a carrier can load up a handcart and deliver 10 addresses.

Traditional carriers break even or even take a small loss on a percentage of deliveries because it's important to their business model to have consistent prices and deliver everywhere. Amazon isn't restricted that way, they can cherry pick which places they deliver based on how profitable it is to get the package to the doorstep.

Essentially Amazon is draining away all the deliveries which made UPS/ USPS/ FedEx profitable. How sustainable this model is long term is somewhat questionable.

The last picture has both the peanut butter and banana slices.
My assessment, from a history with a lot of bash and a little, not terribly recent PowerShell, is that PowerShell wound up in a pretty common position of having a better language but a worse UX. Picking out why (wrt UI in general, not powershell in particular) is an ongoing interest...
Its because they stack popular items in local warehouses.
Advantage of vertical integration.
Even Pearl Harbor caused minor damage, all things considered. I think many of the facilities were repaired and rebuilt within 1 year while many of the ships were actually recovered. The carriers weren't even there during the attack.

For the US it was a huge shock, for a country like Poland it was Tuesday.
The author does explain[0] his underlying persective/meaning of Brutalism:

> Brutalism wasn’t a specific material or style, it was an attempt to be true to the raw qualities of materials. It was an ethic.¹⁸ Signifier adheres to this ethic, Brutalism’s core concepts framed my working process and thinking rather than pre-determining the outcome. There’s a sense of the vector, the grid, the underlying digital nature. For instance, you can’t see that Adobe Garamond’s a is digital, but you can see it in Signifier’s a.

And from the footnote:

> “The difference is not merely one of form of words: ‘Neo-Brutalist’ is a stylistic label, like Neo-Classic or Neo-Gothic, whereas ‘The New Brutalism’ is, in the Brutalist phrase “an ethic, not an aesthetic. It describes a programme or an attitude to architecture.” Reyner Banham, “The New Brutalism”, (1966): 10.

I don't believe that the term was applied based on it being a buzzword or a recent trend.

I don’t think they’re really that elliptical in practice. Banana slices are nearly circular.
My favorite Firefox extension is tree style tabs. It displays your tabs as a vertical menu on the side rather than on a horizontal line at the top. I've been using this extension for years and I'm going to use it for the rest of my life. I highly recommend checking it out.
The source of the wired piece was posted 6 days ago here[0] along with the bleeping computer analysis (better than wired's, IMO)[1]. It was also posted again 3 days ago [2], when I also posted it until I noticed it was a dupe (the dupe detector doesn't seem to work on the guardicore URL).

I've been watching this specific botnet since April, almost 6k attempts/server so far.. it's slow and wide (rarely repeat IPs, max rate was 2/minute, but it's more like 8-20/day now) so most detection approaches won't work (search your logs of sshd for "Received disconnect from", "Did not receive identification string from" and "Connection closed by"). It's also everywhere.. a lot of digital ocean, but also AWS, google, Azure. Government IPs, consumer IPs, IPs reported as part of backbones

Could you comment on my way of accessing my servers on AWS:
My server are on VPC and no public ssh is allowed (nothing is open besides 443). When I want to login to my server , I run a script to modify security. (I have disabled ssh password logins and ssh is running on non standard port). And when I am done with task, I plug the hole in security group with another batch code. I am worried that I may be not exposing my servers with my practices.
How does licensing work with software defined Wi-Fi? As I understand it, Australia holds many Wi-Fi patents and most of the money from radios goes into their University system. Would SDR based implementations be in violation of those patents? What if someone made a hardware version?
Part of this is because the yearly burns the Native American Indians did to maintain the habitat

On the evolutionary scale of the coastal redwood ecosystem, those burns are insignificant. Intellectually, the argument is romantic. Some nobler previous state of human existence. It's rooted in an anthropocentric view, not a scientific one.
The physics of fire today are no different than the physics of a million years ago and the Santa Cruz mountains have been around for millions of years longer than humans.

The redwoods survived because they weren't logged. Simple but unsatisfying.
This blog post is focused on the Raspberry Pi portion of the build, since it is the Raspberry Pi blog, but it links to the original creator's blog, which is more detailed and has several videos of the robot actually working.

Personally, the product/engineering relationships are much more meaningful (absolutely and relatively) than the network of customer relationships I've cultivated over the last decade.

This is again a function of who is assigned the leverage due to specialized knowledge in a technology organization. It is usually the product/engineering organization.

Anecdotally, the exceptions here have been when I've sold technology that other people consume, to then sell technology (ISVs). But these are rare because often folks don't like taking inordinate platform risk/dependency if they can avoid it.

I use FF and Chrome, but the sites I visit are distinctly split between these two browsers (i.e. I strictly browse some sites on one of these two browser).

First, I want FF to be around for a long time to make sure there's no browser monopoly by Chrome. That's the primary reason I use FF.

I also trust FF more regarding privacy. So I use FF to log in on sites like my banks, credit cards, and government sites (like IRS and social security). I even use FF to check my Gmail. I use Chrome to browse less trustworthy sites across the internet, and sites that I really don't mind Google tracking my visit such as HN, Reddit, etc. The only Google product that I use on Chrome is YouTube. :)

Thank you, FF engineering team for keeping alternative alive on the web.
I don't think there is a valid use case. It seems like they just weren't validating the resource well enough.

I transitioned to sales engineering last year. My software engineering opportunities had plateaued and I was not interested in management (I hate meetings). I considered going back to consulting, but health insurance prices make that impossible.

Part of the job is to make your quirky company appear to be operating smoothly from a customer point of view. You must give the customer warm fuzzy feelings about spending lots on your product. A prerequisite of this is to know and be able to communicate about your specific product domain very well.

I get paid really well for my knowledge and it's very satisfying. The workload comes in waves and is very different from the grind of coding. If I do want to code, I can code for my company or the customer.
Not to mention how IndieWeb sites already provide way more interoperability than any of these site.js things, while not being beholden to a single stack with a single design philosophy (or an asinine requirement that every site be run as a single tenant on a dedicated server).

Plus, some of us already have post privacy, allowing access via other IndieWeb identities -- as well as making the allowances for people to log in without having to run their own damn website.

IndieWeb principles are based on modularity, communication, community, and compassion. None of those are things I'm getting from Aral's latest vanity project.
Great insight! That makes sense. One of my sales engineer friends pulls the low COL trick too.
They're only against Communism. Russians with money are just fine, apparently. The logical conclusion of "money is speech" is that foreign intelligence agencies can buy as much speech as they like.
It was also true at the time in Western European countries though, especially in the 1970s-1980s.
I think it would have been more self serving for Epic to strike a backroom deal, they've got the clout to do so and it'd probably be better for their shareholders' blood pressure.

On the other hand, if this plays out the way they want, then they get 100% of the income (less overheads) which would be an absolute win for them.

I don't think their motivation matters however - as an ISV getting kicked off the app store is no longer a potential death sentence or a wasted investment; you just need to get smart about how you distribute.
Rarely is an article so explainatory as this one. The author writes (all below quoted):

[...]

> Thinking about the materiality of digital fonts lead to Brutalism. According to architectural historian and critic Michael Abrahamson, “the word ‘Brutalism’ has lost its meaning. At present, it equates to: large buildings, sometimes of concrete, constructed sometime between World War II and the end of the 1970s.”⁷ Abrahamson clarifies and re-orientates the meaning, quoting Peter Smithson:

>

> Brutalism is not concerned with the material as such but rather the quality of the material, that is with the question: what can it do? And by analogy: there is a way of handling gold in Brutalist manner and it does not mean rough and cheap, it means: what is its raw quality?

>

> My question now became, “what is the raw quality of digital fonts?” [...]
I felt the same when I skimmed the article, especially after seeing the "Signifier, version 1".

But the actual version has sharp edges, echoing the "rigid geometric style" that characterizes brutalist architecture.
How does it compare to Mobile Safari ad blocker plug-ins like 1Blocker?
How do you contract syphilis other than sexually? The Spanish did not bring many women with them in their expeditions, and people that don't bathe are not precisely sex symbols... so it's not hard to figure out what happened.

The fact that Spain still has monuments dedicated to murderers, human traffickers, slave owners, serial child abusers says a lot about a country.

you guys understand that Hong Kong has and always been part of China, correct? UK gave back a land that wasn't their to keep.

What can any Western country or US president can do? Do you declare a war with a country over a piece of land that is rightfully their?

I don't understand the logic behind "without a peep from the US"? like what? a WAR with China?
> USPS is a service, not a business. Do we look at how profitable the US military is or schools?

If it was purely a service and designed to be in the red, we wouldn't be having this debate here.

No, it's a quasi-private business that manages itself horrendously, and requires routine capitol injection via Tax Payer Bailouts.

As a service? USPS is more of a jobs service - employing thousands of unproductive employees that will coast until retirement then enjoy part of that enormous pension.
Ah ha, yes the math works out.

I've got 2 versions (230.1 MB and 228.7 MB). The commenter I was responding to therefore must have 3. So the "real" size is ~230 MB, which does seem pretty reasonable, and totally in line with Firefox as well.

(For comparison, Calibre is 207 MB, Gimp is 224 MB, and Kindle is 210 MB, while Word is a whopping 2.11 GB, and Photoshop is a similarly gigantic 2.45 GB.)
"John judges others by the color of their skin" maybe? It actually feels an even stronger indictment to me, as it calls out just what is meant by "racist" and how absurd it is.

So much for the pilot shortage that's been talked about for years.
Yes, like I said, it's not perfect. There will still be deepfakes, but they won't be around every single nook and cranny. And once you ever invalidate a video, all other works by the same key are now suspect.

Imagine two court cases. In one, there is a video signed with a key from a phone that shows no signs of compromise. In the other, there is a video with no signatures at all. Which is more trustworthy? It's a continuum, not a binary.

Edit:

And also, we can scale trust. There should be more webs-of-trust in the world. I should be able to tap my phone next to my buddies and it should create a link between us. We should have the concept of trust online when we need it.

Not if the same public has to deal with the same insecurity and vulnerabilities that iOS was designed to prevent.

Only geeks care about “openness”, ordinary people don’t have a problem with any app that Apple is blocking besides probably MS’s streaming game system.

Epic itself released a buggy installer that caused a security vulnerability. Do you really want them to be the poster child?

Out of all the problems that the App Store has. There are other options that would be better for the average consumer and better for the developer.

1. 30% is way too high for any service or app that has marginal cost. If Apple is going to force in app payments as option for those types of apps, it should allow Apple Pay (standard credit card processing fees $0.30 per transaction + 2-3%)

2. Any productivity app should be allowed to have the same “reader app” exemption.

3. I would be okay if any app that has out of store payments not showing up in the store unless the user specifically searches for it by name or navigates via an external link. That means Apple had nothing to do with app discovery.

4. Non game apps that are subscription based start off at 15%

5. Allow upgrade pricing.

6. Allow a scaling percentage. The more you bring Apple, the less of a percentage you take.

7. Any game that only has a one time in app purchase to unlock the game from demo to full version should be able to pay a lower percentage. This is what Apple should be encouraging.

Mix and match any of these suggestions. They are more fair to developers.
I'm curious why you chose to extend GW-BASIC specifically? Out of the Microsoft BASIC dialects, QBasic would probably be familiar to a much larger audience, and is a substantially more modern language.
Edge Classic's PDF Viewer was good, but now Edge's PDF Viewer is just Chromium's and it isn't as good, has half the features (especially for the long-form reading comfortability of the old Edge Classic / Reader), and is a higher security risk (Edge Classic / Reader ran in the UWP sandbox, Chromium PDF is a C++ app running native with much less sandboxing out of the box; Firefox uses PDF.js running in the JS VM/sandbox).
I decided to measure the memory consumption of browser's new tab pages using a woefully unscientific method (simply looking at the memory usage tab in Activity Monitor and tallying everything up):

Firefox 505 MB
Safari 480 MB

So it seems like they're about equal?
Yeah, people flash their ECMs all the time. I don't really see how using 3rd party software to boost power in a Tesla is all that different. Just don't cover any damage caused by the tinkering under warranty. Tesla just seems salty that they're missing out on their "DLC" profits.

This is only the latest "Bailout" for USPS. They have a history of receiving bailouts every few years.

Might as well be considered direct funding, since they find themselves in that situation almost like clockwork.
You don't risk an expensive plane with head-ons - that's what missiles are for.

This was testing the AI. If real-world AI was going to be deployed in warfare shooting down manned planes, you'd make custom hardware that is smaller, faster and 10-100x cheaper than a f-35.

Are you a bot? What a mindbogglingly-stupid question.

Surely “vk” appears on more than 1 page on the web, so… show those pages? Like, y’know, a search engine.

This feels worse than trying to explain a joke.
If the goal is truth, you cultivate a desire to learn to succeed under diverse scenarios. The incentive is success itself. In a particular scenario, Falsehood can offer greater benefit than Truth. But the advantage of Truth, is that it provides your decision-making a robust foundation, even under volatile conditions. "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked."

If the goal is recognition of bias, you cultivate social-norms which incentivize critique (both in yourself and others). Notice, however, that this begets perverse incentives. I.e. you can fool yourself, "recognize" a billion biases, then applaud yourself for your diligence. You can also invent new biases that don't actually make much difference.

> This kid apparently didn't even understand that 1:1 dictionary look-ups aren't a form of translation, and definitely did not understand/anticipate the immense damage he was doing. There's plenty of blame to go around, but someone should've stepped in and stopped this before it went so far.

This is also an illustration of the dangers of "inclusionism" (in the Wikipedia sense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deletionism_and_inclusionism_i...). It took at least seven years for this person to be identified, and in the meantime they introduced a massive amount of garbage, at least in part because resources were spread too thin for a meaningful amount of quality control to be done in the area that they were active.

With Wikipedia's perpetually declining participation, it would make sense for them to drop areas where their volunteers don't have the manpower or interest to maintain.
The philosophical context of font design is one of those niches of rarified contemporary hothouse cultural specialization that makes me thing, this is as far as we go, as a culture.

Reading these things I inevitably experience intellectual vertigo, the deep-zoom-into-a-fractal sense of perfectly accurate, almost totally unnecessary, precision at microscopy scale. It's more Gibson than Gibson, not least if you're aware of Douglas Hofstadter's obsession with "letter spirits" and their multidimensional relationship to GAI...

Some suggestions/questions for the readmes:

- It would be nice to have some screenshots in the status/analytics sections.

- Does this use docker hub or does it push the raw docker image to the server or does it build on the server?

- How can we deploy docker hub images (for cases where the image is built by CI or using a cache or something)?

- It might be a good example to link to the examples directory from the readme. I almost suggested some examples, but then turned off my extension that hides the files on the repo homepage. :)

My anecdotal observations about people I know and LinkedIn profiles I've seen are that the best way to do this is to stick around at one company for like 10 years and continue picking up increasingly more responsibility. Eventually you're a team lead and then eventually you're whatever the position above team lead is at the company.

C-suite is almost always an outside-hire, though.
