And also considering that Netlify is marketed towards beginners just dipping their toes into web development as well as industry professionals, is it really a good idea to encourage beginners to roll their own anything in any conditions other than training exercises? We already tried this experiment with cPanel in the early 2000s; so many sites got pwned due to bad configurations and injection-prone PHP that we spawned entire industries and standards boards to deal with that problem. From a cybersecurity perspective it makes no sense to give beginners this responsibility and from a general productivity standpoint it makes no sense to ask beginners to become sysadmins + DBAs + SREs before they can get a single page up.

Rolling your own hosting is prohibitively expensive for most but the largest companies. Most instead will opt for running their infrastructure on a cloud provider, which perhaps gives you more control over things, but you will succumb to some of the same downtime Netlify and the like will experience.

You need to do the thing to gain expertise but also learn it inside out. Academic + school of life = expert.

Academic can mean formal education, can also mean self taught from books, papers or talking to other people.

Lots of drives don't seem to measure their own power supply... That means if you run them on a laptop with a slightly out of spec power supply, you can get the drive marking hundreds of bad sectors, yet when you put them in another machine they're fine again.

If you're designing something as complex as a drive, you would have thought they'd have a bit of electronics to test the power supply and refuse to work (with some relevant error code) if it's out of spec.
To the extent that the US administration (slightly worse than France) is incompetent, the British, Belgian, Italian, Spanish, Peruvian, Swedish and Chilean administrations are all worse and some significantly so if you look at deaths per 100,000. Brazil has lower per capita deaths than the US.
So I've actually been paid to work on two projects of this kind: Apple's Newton, and Peter Neumann's Clean Slate project (https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/30/science/rethinking-the-co...).

In both cases, for different reasons, and in different contexts, the projects set out to reinvent computing from the ground up. The Newton failed in ways that make it a punchline, but the punchline obscures useful things about how it succeeded and how it failed.

Clean Slate seems to have morphed into another research program called CHERI (http://www.csl.sri.com/users/neumann/20191213-ctsrd-ftr-fina...), but it hasn't taken the world by storm, either.

Both projects embodied some fairly radical rethinking of how computing should work. Both were fun and inspiring to work on--among the best things I've done in my career. Neither has conquered the world, though some of Newton's novel features have become commonplace, at least in some form.

On the one hand, the fate of these projects is most likely the fate of any similar attempt to reinvent computing. The scale of the existing computing ecosystem is planetary. No small group of visionaries can exert the force needed to move the planet, and no group big enough to move the planet can be cohesive enough to embody a coherent vision.

On the other hand, I think it's worthwhile to invest in pipe dreams like these. They sometimes invent compelling new things that go on to make positive contributions.

They're also instructive. They teach you what is possible when you ignore inconvenient realities. Smart people given a green field and an inspiring vision can invent some truly wonderful things.

They also teach you what is not possible. You aren't going to simply wipe away the existing infrastructure and replace it wholesale. Its gravitational pull is inexorable. At some stage you have to come to terms with what has gone before, unless you're content for your effort to become a footnote.

Both things are useful things to learn: yes, you can do something novel and inspiring, and that's well worth doing for its own sake. No, you can't, simply through the charisma of a beautiful idea, undo all that has gone before.

Nor, if you could, would that necessarily be a good thing. Finding workable compromises with your surroundings is, after all, a constructive endeavor.
I’m not being facetious but isn’t that the whole point in the “believe women” slogan.

That casting a critical/dismissive eye is dangerous as it means we no longer try to confirm the claim?

It’s a think grey line here: but I think charges being filed should lead to him being questioned.

We should not say though that he “definitely did it”, (or that he definitely didn’t) just that he needs to answer the claim.

In this particular case it’s “damned if you do, damned if you don’t”.

Answer the charge and be extradited.

Don’t answer the charge and be thought of by the public as guilty.

I do believe rape is a serious issue, especially because it is a systemic problem that everybody blame but hardly anybody is willing to address as such. However, accusing opponents of immoral behavior to make em look dirty is such a classic trick from the people in power to delegitimize dissent that it should be regarded as highly suspicious. Still worth checking though, but last time I checked, the allegations seemed very dubious. Were they true, I still think JA should be granted immunity as a political figure after which a government is rabidly after I do think that making public the bombing of children and the assassination of journalists by the US is more important to the world's fate than the condemnation of a rape. I have read many times that nobody is above the law but it is not true, many people have legal immunity for being part of governments or other positions. You should not let your sympathy guide in this case but your opinions on what gvts are allowed to get away with and in what kind of a society you would like to live.

I think tmux's scroll mode (ctrl-b [) is similar. You move the cursor freely and if in vi-mode, you can us vi commands (as if in visual mode) to select and copy (y) contents. Pressing 'enter' goes back to non-scrolling mode, and then you can paste the contents with the configured tmux keys.

I described some of my criticisms in another post, basically they cherry picked only the evidence they wanted to from the papers they sourced their ideas from. This is not research. There is nothing new or original in this paper, it's just taking things from elsewhere, stripping off the context and stitching it together into their own narrative. There's nothing original or substantive there to refute.

70% in Sweden is against this change to for-profit social security companies, but the parties in power doesn't prioritise it.

And for whatever propaganda reason you keep using Sweden as some sort of objective evidence of free market utopia when the facts on the ground are just a vast increase in inequality due to aggressive neo-liberal policies for the last ~30 years.

The reason you don't use mdadm is because it keeps track of bad blocks by default, although that can be disabled, but when using the debian installer to set up arrays it sets up the config file in /tmp then blows away any changes made when dropping out of the installer to modify the temp conf on return to the installer, making it impossible to set up a md array that doesn't track bad blocks when using a serial console (although if you aren't, you can open up another terminal to do it) for the install?

That's precisely the reason you don't use mdadm?

He didn’t misuse any computers though. He claimed to have rainbow tables for NTLM hashes (when asked by his source) and then was sent an NTLM hash to crack by his source. He never cracked any hashes or sent anything back. Manning gained no additional access to any computers by the action of Assange.

They’re charging him with conspiracy to crack hashes. This is a technically literate forum and we should talk about things as they really are, not hand waving nonsense like “misuse of computers.” In some sense he’s being persecuted for knowing that Hashcat exists.

Yes, it is. And we must fight such idiocy.
They work, they are cheap and they are efficient in addressing the business needs.

In my experience, they are at most two of these things. Most of the time, I see lots of businesses bend over backwards to mold their processes to match the tooling they use, or expend lots of manual labour because their business flow isn't modelled efficiently in their tooling. Impedance mismatch is the #1 factor why many business automation projects end up costing multiples of what they were initially intended to save.

These problems aren't limited to off-the-shelf solutions, it could take an experienced developer months to really learn the business process and model it efficiently. Most businesses don't allow for that in their software budget, so you get either:

- something that works, and is relatively cheap, because it was cobbled together by someone from the business (see: excel sheets, access applications or nowadays, Microsoft Flow)

- something that works and is efficient, because it was built by a team of developers in close cooperation with the business

- something that's cheap and efficient but doesn't work, because it was built by a fly-by-night developer on a shoestring budget.

The only cases where you can have all three is when the business was built around a single piece of well-designed software, the CTO and CEO have been very conscientious about following the capabilities of the software, and the software manufacturer never decided to completely overhaul their interface for "reasons".

Sharing PSUs between components was an Amstrad staple.

Sugar used the technique in products from hifi's to computers as an innovation to save money and keep costs down. That's not necessarily meant in a bad way. Amastrad often used the savings to to bump up the spec somewhere consumers cared more e.g. memory or a bundled monitor or printer.

I think when commodity PCs became wide spread Amstrad ran out of corners to cut to get an edge and became uncompetitive.

Whichever one earns more dollars is more productive in terms of dollars. If you want to do this right, pick a good metric (plumber dollars is fine), then optimize your workforce for that metric. Do not reward them for that metric or it will be gamed. Consider other metrics that are important (e.g. customer satisfaction) and set constraints on the processes that set a standard that must be met.

> but I am skeptical that it yields much insight

It allowed economist for instance to measure that the price US society is willing to pay to avoid the loss of one random American life is about 8 million USD. I think this is a valuable insight.

As for your last paragraph, I think you can truncate it: "a measure of the phenomenon is not an explanation". I agree, but I am not sure why this is a relevant point. We are talking about ethics, not the history of ethics. Understanding virus biology won't necessarily explain virus evolution to you but is still valuable.

As for your other earlier point, I am not sure I understand your criticism. Economics has proven that many human decisions are irrational or rationally bounded. It is pretty certain that ethics is no different. Why would it make it incapable of producing worthy results?

I am not sure but you seem to assume that "ethics" is a quantity that I propose to measure through a single number. This is not what I am proposing. I think ethics is a domain as large as economics in which some phenomenon can be identified.

I am also proposing that people could then use the ethical models produced as a moral guide and have a coherent morality (but a conservative one: customs and normalcy define "good") and reach it through an objective process.

I consider myself a progressist, so this is not the morality I will adopt, but I recognize that this is a worthy endeavor nonetheless. If only to measure ethical progress within a society.

OK, I am sure you are correct. But the government is doing a lousy job of presenting the data and their history of massaging the figures does not inspire confidence.

Mister potato head, mister potato head -- they're not mutually exclusive!
The biggest problem is that a lot of them are siloed, sometimes seemingly intentionally.

E.g. we have a bunch of stuff in Airtable. It's great. You can do amazing stuff with it, and it has a great API for most things.

Except for the change history and comments.

When you're aware of this, it is fine, but the moment your business processes start depending on using the comments and change history, you're locked in unless you're willing to use phantomjs or similar to log in and use the API (of course there is one) that their web client uses to access the comments, in a way that is a massive pain.

I'm happy for users to start building stuff and automating stuff. The bigger problem is when they don't design and don't understand the trade-offs. Often it works great for years, until it doesn't and you have a massive job untangling dependencies in some cobbled together solution.

Sometimes that is worth it.

Sometimes it causes you to incur costs far higher than what you saved initially because knowledge often gets lost as these system grow in complexity without any coherent thought behind them.

Very often, even if you end up using these tools, you'd still be far better off if there was still a review process to get someone to say "stop,if you do it this way you're creating a risky dependency, do it this way instead." Or to say "we really need the dev team to handle this."

Computers haven't changed, but the world has. It feels like hackerspaces and certain scenes still have the same energy of the web's early days.

What's changed is that the ratio of those people to the total population of computer users has drastically decreased. And furthermore, the ratio of creators to consumers has also plummeted.

Ironically, I think that's the lesson that should be taken from TikTok's success: there's actually a surprising amount of people who yearn to be more creative than currently popular platforms allow them to be.
