It wasn't surveillance.

It was providing a self healing command and control network capable of surviving a nuclear attack. It evolved into a Internetwork of trusted hosts to facilitate rapid information dissemination. It took a bunch of advertisers to turn it into surveillance nirvana by realizing that you could use http requests and your own portable sensor platform and in-house OS to rake in profit overwhelming.
But NFS isn't a custom protocol for any specific app either, and apps that need good fs performance (eg databases, video editing platforms, "big data" compute platforms etc) avoid it.

Implementation-wise HTTP has the advantage that the apps can tune the client code because the protocol client implementation isn't in the kernel.

In addition HTTP security (transport & user authentication) is works and everyone understands it, whereas on NFS it's a huge mess and enemy of interoperability.

In practical popularity NFS fares extremely poorly eg on AWS (how many apps use EFS vs S3).
Can't really know until you try. The physics does not prevent the possibility. Elon and the people at SpaceX are not just hand waving but actually working hard on making it a reality. Hope they do it.

A lot of people are willing to pay $250k for a minor sub-orbit hop in the Virgin spacecraft. I bet there are millions of people who would pay, at least once, to fly on one of these flights in conjunction with a trip from New York to Beijing or London to Australia. $20k is not much more than a two week luxury safari.

The comparison of the risk of rocket travel to the risk of helicopter travel is more realistic. That is the level of risk many wealthy people are willing to take to save time.
This is my preferred approach as well.

When one does this one hopefully also get a feel for what tests will be useful and which ones will be thrown out early and start writing more of the first ones.

Couple this with a well designed language and a good IDE that can do the trivial refactorings (method rename - including catching overload collisions etc) and it becomes easy to maintain tests.

There is nothing wrong with automatic security updates, I make that pretty clear in the article and don't understand why you come to the conclusion that I wrote that 'all automatic updates are bad'.

The second bullet in the list reads:

It has higher energy density, higher flash point (less prone to fire or explosion), less volatile (doesn't evaporate as quickly), and less toxic.

However, it's difficult to make a diesel that gets as much power/weight or power/volume as a comparable petrol engine.

There are trade-offs. It's not a universally superior fuel.
Because COVID has completely rejiggered the economy. Airlines legally are not allowed to pack hundreds of people into a cramped cabin. They're selling fewer tickets at lower prices, and they were already losing money on poor passengers to begin with.

Plus, the oil crash is still coming. Fracking has delayed it for a short time, and the covid lockdowns also have slowed consumption, but it is still inevitable. Before fracking, the U.S. army expected peak oil to happen sometime around 2015. Keep in mind, fracking is less efficient than old methods of oil extraction, and produces fewer barrels for the same amount of energy, and the energy for that extraction process comes from... oil. So we're burning the house down from both ends. Airlines don't stand a chance, in their current form.

Windows Forms is the wrapper around the Win32 API. We forms is the ASP.NET part that mimics how Windows Forms works, where near every look or button click included a server roundtrip (doPostback or so was the JavaScript function named that did this, which then sent pretty much the entire current application state as Base64).

Those two things are district, even though I've is intentionally similar to the other. And We forms is part of the things that didn't make it to .NET Core or .NET 5.
Ha! The video I posted is tame for gangster rappers. What exactly are you outraged by in the video? Crashing cars? Guns? Drinking lean? The lyrics?

What's really appalling is that Americans enacted stupid policies that pitted the police in war against the gangs over drug profits. The part of Watts where these rappers like Drakeo and 03 Greedo grew up is absolutely brutal, but the Crip set there is well connected after 50 years of activity. I guarantee these guys don't care whether you like it or not... but it's reality until you can overcome your outrage and legalize the things that make gang life so potentially lucrative.

I work in a senior support role and I am constantly telling my juniors not to take things personally.

Funny thing is I used to take things personally and it did occasionally lead to me going the extra mile to save the situation, but it is just so emotionally exhausting, to the point where I do not think it is humanly possible to maintain that level of service (I suppose some one might be able to, but I have not met anyone like that).

A part of me misses that do-or-die personal commitment to the customer, but for the most part I enjoy not going insane

Some apps are growing wise to holdout users, and force you to update to continue using services. That's ultimately been the death knell in every jailbreak effort I try, some essential app will eventually force me off the jailbroken iOS version.
I don't want to defend Apple or iOS here, but Android (talking OS upgrades, not apps) is even worse, by far. Depends on the manufacturer and I imagine Google is one of the less horrible ones, but pretty much every update for Samsung Galaxy:

* Changes the UI in some way I don't like

* Re-enables intrusive, annoying and concerning background services and their permissions and notifications that are painful and time-consuming to disable

* Occasionally adds new ones of the above to the pile

* Contains important security fixes that all users should receive as soon as possible

* Doesn't provide detailed information on what the update actually includes ("The security of your device has been updated" is the ONLY information for the past four updates despite other obvious changes being co-bundled.)

It's a mess.

What's your annual rate for being caught in the middle of a geopolitical superpower dispute?
I mean, their patent application also claims an SFC of ~30-42 MPG at 460-510 mph...

A design cruising altitude of FL500 implies that they're seeing nearly all of their efficiency improvements due to the thin air at altitude (flying around 200 mph indicated, which isn't totally unreasonable for 20 mpg in a small-ish piston-prop), but I doubt they have the climb rate to actually reach that altitude in anything short of a transcontinental flight.

I like to think they crunched the performance numbers once or twice, but if they're off by the same amount they were with their initial SFC calculations, there's no way they'll reach an acceptable cruising altitude during an average flight.
In other words, Adobe products are providing high enough value that people don't find it feasible to move away from it. If it is pure network effect, we should be seeing a regular but increasing decline in their market share.

Yeah but it'd be cooler if the sides were completely digital "windows".

What should these be called? Dindows? Digidows? Digdows?

I live in the arctic and I was thinking of building a home without windows but with same idea. It allows you to remove convective heat loss from windows almost entirely. Not to mention it's much cheaper than shipping up glass windows.
The parent site IBM 100 lists many of IBM's historical highlights.

"Over the past 100 years, hundreds of millions of IBMers, clients, customers and business partners all over the globe have helped IBM make the world work better. To every single individual, thank you. We pledge boldness in IBM’s second century to create a company that never stops moving toward the future. Ever onward."[0]

Lofty speak, and not to be a party-pooper but I can't help but think, if we're getting all nostalgic about IBM history, then part of me just can't help but bring it up. IBM collaborated with Nazis and helped enable the holocaust which has been well document by Edwin Black. [1]

As the Nazis invaded a country they would perform a census to identify the undesirables to be removed to concentration camps. This was an industrial scale data management and logistics problem that IBM was uniquely qualified to facilitate. The fact that they did so is not contested although it is not spoken of often and surely does not condemn today's IBM. We should however take it as an object lesson in the double edged sword of technology and the warning that we must restrain firms that would have us think they won't be evil.

"...in the 2012 reissue Black presents a letter dated 1941 from IBM that directed a Dutch subsidiary to work with Dehomag — years after business with Germany was supposed to have ceased. Furthermore, according to Black’s 2012 evidence, Watson took a one percent commission on all profits made in business with the Nazis, and had to personally approve all expenditures on said business, such as bomb-fortifying Dehomag installations."[2]

"What Hitler has done to us through his economic warfare, one of our own American corporations has also done . . . Hence IBM is in a class with the Nazis . . . The entire world citizenry is hampered by an international monster."
- Economic Warfare Section Chief Investigator Howard J. Carter [2]

That sounds more like clickbait. Just as if someone took the latest marketing buzzwords and somehow tried to make a product out of it. If there was any meat to this, they would lead with the use case and say "Hey here: This is the problem the world has. Here is how we solved it". But anything blockchain related already went more like "Uhh look, here is a blockchain. Enjoy". This is worse...

This seems to be just like Ethereum without the blockchain. What does "building directly on the internet" even mean? What do I ever need distributed, cryptographic consensus for? The use-case escapes me completely, this even seems more useless than Ethereum, where I can see at least some applications thanks to the blockchain. But that thing without the blockchain just doesn't make any sense. But hey, it got WASM, so must be cool.

Nothing moving the culture ahead. Nothing revolutionary as far as content goes.
We tend to have a web focus on this site but not all IT is like that.

If I have a data processing job that takes 3 hours and it fell over at the 1 hour mark (and let's say whoever wrote it didn't have the foresight to make it resume neatly, because that's added complexity that never got budgeted), I'm going to fix the obvious bug and kick off reprocessing immediately. Possibly after some messing around in a REPL to confirm how the code acts.

While it's going, I can then do some manual tests and sanity checks and cancel/restart if necessary - but if not, I've gained a lot of time.

> how is the average person affording 2,700 SF homes today?

They're not. Home ownership is currently at about the same level it was in the 90's, declining from a boom in the 2000's driven by sub-prime lending, but if you look at generational differences, everyone younger than baby boomers is basically owning homes at much lower rates.

Even if Kevin was to stay as TikTok CEO, he would have to leave his role as the COO of ByteDance. It’s totally understandable that he would want to leave given the reduced scope (no more head of a global company etc.). What seems suspicious however is why he would leave prior to an acquisition. As a CEO, that won’t reflect too good on his reputation... so there’s gotta be a tradeoff somewhere. Wait & see!

You can still end up in such situations today without the absurdity of using word, if you're using Windows.

I've wasted an hour or so this year trying to figure out why an instance of Microsoft's sshd port of OpenSSH didn't behave as configured.

It took a while for me to realize that if you create/change the config files with Windows tooling, they will likely end up being encoded in UTF-16, which means that every second byte is a NUL character. If you have a C codebase expecting UTF-8 (like most UNIX-ish tools), that can lead to the config files just being ignored (as the tool likely hits a NUL before the first real character). In the case of sshd, you won't get any warnings or errors, either.
Which is why companies like this are going to be doing what Musk is doing with Electric vehicles.

Now, if they could make these for 2000-3000km flights and they ran on 250kWh to 350kWh electric they'd be what the future entails. Especially if they weren't piloted and were fully automated.

There's also a good argument for using qemu without libvirt, for those who dislike libvirt's complexity. See eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19737289

libvirt is most useful if you use it to abstract over different virtualization backends, like vmware/kvm/lxd etc.
The programming model seems nice (orthogonal persistence especially), but the fact that it's running decentralized is a big cost.

Maybe someone will provide the same developer niceness in a traditional cloud way. The only people who would prefer DFINITY at that point are people who really care about decentralization (which is fewer than the marketing hype suggests imo.)
This is what I do on both Linux and macOS. I like remapping Caps Lock to Ctrl/Command because it's the UNIX-style key layout I'm used to on the old IBM Model M keyboards, and my left and right pinky fingers are used to the Ctrl-[ combination, it's burned into muscle memory.
Here's a question I've vaguely wondered but never mustered the effort to actually look up: how does IRC work? Like, if two people want to talk to each other over IRC, do they need to be connected to the same same IRC server at the same time?

If so, does that mean that IRC is basically like instant messaging along the lines of AOL Instant Messanger, or Google chat? Or is there something that makes IRC very different?
What do you mean? The home ownership is on the decline, especially among younger people, and "one unit of education" (i.e. a bachelors') hasn't changed. Yes more people are going to university on average, but the price of higher ed is not regulated by scarcity.

And can we stop giving elon musk credit for everything? Tesla employs 48,000 people and contracts god only knows how many. It's pretty clear that elon musk is stealing credit for everyone's work, and Im sure the rest of the company physically cringes whenever people say stuff like "Elon is doing great stuff with batteries"

You admitted your original, “learning D3 without observable is basically impossible” was overblown, but follow up with, “Mike is dismissive... and learning D3 outside of Observable isn’t supported”.

Let’s be clear, D3 is an open-source library. In no way, shape, or form is Mike required to support and produce tutorials for the language. The fact that what he has been kind enough to produce was done so using Observable has no bearing on your issue of “getting started with D3” when non-Observable tutorials abound. If you just google “D3 tutorial” you’ll see that all links but one point to non-Observable resources.[0]

The article in Point 2 is a great one, but I'm not sure why you're linking it here. The implementation details are wholly unrelated to a) our discussion and b) whether or not it’s easy to port example D3 code to vanilla.js. It’s like someone arguing that porting Jupyter notebooks to Python scripts (something fairly chill to do) is difficult because of some unrelated implementation detail in Jupyter’s core code - the detail is irrelevant.

To make sure I’m not just talking out of my ass, I just went through a few of the initial "learn D3 Observable" Google results that came up, and in literally all of them all you need to do is 1. remove any enclosing brackets (if they exist) and remove 2. remove calls to svg.node() and boom - you can paste everything into a script tag.

Is that obvious to someone who doesn’t know D3 or Observable? Honestly, probably not. It can be clearer and I agree it should be spelled out somewhere (if it is, I don’t see it).

Is it obvious to someone who writes JavaScript for a living? Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out in the context of what is a literal tutorial.

Does the Observable environment make learning D3 difficult to learn? They’re fundamentally unrelated to the D3 concepts, so no.

And finally, if you (understandably) find the concepts of D3 to be confusing, especially when presented via Observable, should you complain that it’s basically impossible to learn because the author (the same dude who wrote and continues to update the library for free) chooses to host his examples using unrelated software he also helped author? No, probably not. Unless you want to contribute (get it!?) to the worst bit of open-source: complaining.

It won't make sense to buy for any individual. But if you run it close to 24/7 renting it out, fuel efficiency matters much more. You could have it on some kind of a scheduled service but sell out flights as a whole for businesses or families.

That way you still get a private jet experience but at a much lower price due to lower flexibility. Still appealing for most.
I wonder if there are some differences between Windows 10 versions (like Home, Professional etc) there. I have never had that happen. I have Windows 10 Pro.
What I love the most about this is the explicit showing of how to build the various data structures. Many DS courses will make implementing the structure the homework assignment, but the reality is the algorithms have been implemented to death online and the real benefit comes from analyzing which is most optimal. It restricts the possibilities for automatic grading, but students at this level should be progressing towards the "Evaluate" phase of Bloom's hierarchy any way. They should be getting practice assessing the benefits between data structures, not trying to reinvent the wheel.

That said, many job interviews expect people to be able to implement data structures on the fly. However, I'd say that's more a limitation of the interview process rather than an issue with the textbook.
More like the absolute minimum one would expect any contributor to be able to produce.

I'm not a fan of coding interviews, but being able to produce a functioning fizzbuzz should not be considered very difficult.
I wonder if business mail is being handled differently than civilian mail - I mail letters to my Mother 1-2 times a week and standard delivery times have gone from (always) 2-3 days between Medford, OR and Mount Vernon, WA to 8-12 days for the last 4 letters I sent that she has received. And the most recent 2 appear to be on the same trajectory. It is sort of wild, though just an anecdote. I have been sending her letters for decades from various parts of the Western states and this has never happened before.
Once upon a time I shared an office with sysadmins. Patch Tuesday was not something to be taken lightly.
