Yes, the second season was terrible. I stumbled on Altered Carbon on netflix, and enjoyed it in fits and starts. Taken as a whole the first season has some great moments.

The local library had the audiobooks, so I listened to them on a long car trip between the first and second season being released. The writing isn't great but the stories definitely have their moments, even if its smothered in the usual "action flick" mindset.

I think netflix would have done a lot better to just stick to the plot of Broken Angels for the second season. But I think there was some rumbling on the message boards that it would have actually cost real cash to pull that off and netflix apparently wasn't willing to do it. So its the worst kind of serial scifi rubbish.

Its really too bad. The trash they invented as filler, was just that. But you can see their problem, the first book took place on an earth city, so they didn't need a lot of custom sets, and loads of CG.

My wife signed up for the hbo trial for a month and then canceled it. That was just about perfect. I watched the last season of game of thrones and a couple other things, and was getting bored with it just as the trial ended. I actually think that model might be the right one for the entire streaming ecosystem. Just rotate the streaming services every couple months.

Hi Mitchell: what's your competitive landscape with Boundary?

When I first looked at the product description, I thought I might be looking at a "zero-trust identity-aware-proxy" sort of thing, but as I read more I got more of the "privileged access management" vibe with more of a focus on controlling access to infrastructure for developers vs. applications for end users.

They didn't get to be one of the most profitable companies in the world by 'passing savings along to the customer'.

It is more dishonest IMO to allow Apple's claims to go unchallenged, given what we know of their history.
It's aging, the one thing that all people succumb to if they don't die of something else first. In the story, the dragon is widely believed to be both inevitable and a necessary part of life, but there are always a few who thought otherwise. It was only when science reached a certain point did it become possible to see how the dragon might be slayed, potentially saving the increasing numbers of people taken by it every year as the human population grows.

Aging is the only thing that matches the dragon.

The approach to hygiene seems very lazy and short sighted as proposed. Given python's culture, I think that the macro system should be designed such that using macros is as easy as possible even if that adds complexity to writing them. Therefore, I wish that we could have real hygiene since it helps give better error messages.

I do think that there should be ways to break hygiene, but hygiene should be the default. I've also found that breaking hygiene is almost always unnecessary when you combine it with a feature like syntax-parameters in Racket.

Maybe it would even make sense to initially limit macros to something like syntax-case which enforces hygiene with later plans to add in more complex macros which can break hygiene.

Finally, for those who think that macros are impossible to debug, I challenge you to check out Racket's macro debugger which allows you to see each macro individually get expanded.
It's unfortunate that Microsoft has joined the webRequest API deprecation club, though it's not too surprising, after all they are also in the advertising business, and it makes no sense to maintain a Chromium patch that could actually be detrimental to their revenue.

Innovation around ad blockers will now be largely constrained by browser vendors evolving the declarativeNetRequest API.

Mediocre ad blockers like Adblock Plus will happily adapt to the new limited API to fill in any void created by uBlock Origin, and most users will not immediately notice the damage that has been done.
Weak article with numerous factual errors. SERIALIZABLE is much more feasible than they say

and can be done w/o any locking or waiting -- you can keep track of which data transaction A has accessed and if transaction B commits that changes something A depends on you abort transaction A and the application can try it over.
Yeah, although this kind of "matrix" representation is pretty useful for reasoning over causal states in, say, Numpy.
Aw! I hope not. I switched to Edge recently and I've been happy with it. That would mean having to go back to Vivaldi :/

Interesting - but that hasn’t been my experience. I removed that U2 album shortly after it was included in my library, and it hasn’t shown up on any of my devices since then.
This is exactly the idea that the article explains over and over to refute. Women's gymnastics by the scoring, culture, traditions, and biology, has all the incentives pushing toward child abuse. It isn't just a matter of pruning out bad actors. It is a matter of restructuring the sport to prevent bad actors from becoming prominent.
The last two years of high school, starting one summer, I started waking up before daylight to run because if I woke up later it would be too hot outside. I kept this habit into the winter because habits and also because being the source of your winter heat feels great.

Come to think of it, I remember now that I also would wake up at 5:30 at around 10 years because there was a cartoon I liked at that time.
Right, and a willingness to experiment on new things inherently implies some of those things will be cancelled.

If cancellation is an unacceptable outcome, they need to have a higher bar up front before launching, and fewer things will launch.

Glow is a fun show, but once the wrestling show found an audience and the characters found a certain degree of fulfillment in their wrestling roles, the stakes seemed lower to me. I'm happy with the season 3 ending as a show finale.

But I would still recommend it, or Song of Ice and Fire, because there are a lot of good parts for both. Same for Stranger Things. Is * really dead? It's not that important compared to how well it nails 80s kids horror fantasia.
The Expanse is already written to 7 or 8 books. Plus, as you mention, they take the “solution” from the prior work and turn it into the “problem” for the next. The authors of the original content did a bunch of background work ahead of time as they were planning on turning it into an RPG.
As far as I know, Gorhill has no interest in porting it to use a separate API, so effectively it will stop working even if in theory you could have a more limited fork.

I might be wrong on that though, please jump in if there are plans I don't know about.

It's surprising to me that Microsoft is planning to deprecate the old API, I thought their plan was to support both in parallel. Surprising and disappointing, I haven't seen any indication that the fundamental problems with the declarative API were ever addressed.
Good.

I think FTP is being kept-alive only by legacy fintech (doesn’t the US ACH depend on banks exchanging CSV or TSV files over FTP?) and low-end shared webhosting services that are too afraid to offer SSH to their customers.

But I don’t understand why FTP didn’t receive much love from the IETF+etc in the early 2000s to keep it relevant. I know many saw WebDAV as the future, but that was too idealistic imo. Why didn’t any of the FTP server vendors get-together to fix their collective shit instead of letting it die? (No, PASV-mode doesn’t count).
The concept of community gatekeepers might explain part of the fundamental divide relating to political conversation happening in the US. There are different groups, different codes, different value systems. These groups would never naturally converge. Bringing them together would require an impossible amount of effort. The power structure will actively reject attempts to coopt the group thinking by the other. One example from academia that comes to mind is the divide between 'freshwater' and 'saltwater' economics. Teasing out most effective codes for persuasion and influence would be an interesting exercise.

WeWork’s Adam Neumann Returns to Real Estate with Startup Investment
I am in the camp that they should just hand them out to anyone who has purchased a new phone. They cannot cost that much and this way new customers are not out an additional cost.

This is easily accomplished at the store and a good retailer could run with the idea to differentiate themselves for a low cost

> they are just a few percent to begin with

To be more precise, losses are exponential with regard to distance. “A typical loss for 800 kV lines is 2.6% over 800 km”[0], which would be close to 60% losses between antipodes[2].

I think that’s still plausibly worth doing, given renewable prices[1], but it’s not great if you can avoid it.

[0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

[1] that said, I know nothing about the cost of making HV power grids, and it is entirely possible the costs I am ignorant of would make it a bad idea

[2] but not, as autocorrupt first wrote, antipopes — cstross has nothing to do with the global electricity supply, to my knowledge
In Canada the carriers show the cost of the plan and then tell you how much extra is tacked on for the phone. The prices are still outrageous here, but it is nice to be able to quickly tell how much money you save or lose by bundling it.
That's critical, of course! The advice here assumes you have a solid business, existing relationships with or warm connections to investors, etc. and that's why YC helps with those parts.
Makes sense. I had read that The Good Place was canceled which actually surprised me a bit as the finale seemed like a pretty natural ending. Of course, that's not to say that the showrunner would have turned down a longer run but the whole show is one of the better things I've watched of late and felt just about the right length.
They are doing the same thing to their signature series "Stranger Things". The first season was pure genius, they should have just ended it there with a "and they all live happily ever after". Each following season just ruins the series further.
> There is no notion of "correctness" for the pyramids of Egypt, the dykes of the Netherlands, Milan Cathedral, or the world economy and yet those huge-scale systems all function.

I think it's impossible to come up with a rational judgment of whether the world economy "functions." I mean, those of us who are alive are alive, but there are a lot of things that have happened that haven't been ideal.

Besides the world economy, nothing you mention has the functional complexity of a large piece of software, and none of it was designed and built with much confidence, other than confidence that came from similarity to previous designs, and from an optimistic outlook that issues encountered during construction could be coped with. This wall is cracking, so we tear it down and rebuild it a little thicker. We have a few centuries, after all. I think you're right that modern software projects are analogous to ancient pyramids and medieval cathedrals. That's pretty much where we are. Yet somehow, working at that low level of sophistication, we've built working software that is orders of magnitude more complex than cathedrals.

I'm not saying I know how to improve on the situation, or even that we can; I'm just pointing out how different it is from, say, contemporary structural engineering where we can analyze the design of a novel structure and have a pretty good idea of whether it will be safe based on its geometry and known characteristics of materials and how they're joined. It's amazing that we've reached the scale we have with nothing comparable.

> If you believe mathematical correctness is such a valuable principle, then you should be able to leverage that same principle in one's own arguments.

The idea that mathematical reasoning is on some spectrum with dispassionate discourse has motivated hundreds of years of attempts to improve natural language by making it more mathematical. Result: some interesting contributions to philosophy but very little change in how people communicate. People are still people.
Limiting distribution to filter out what you don't want to rise to the top has the same effect as explicitly picking winners.

"rode my bike around town and into the fields"

To be honest I would be terrified to let my kids do this, maybe because I grew up in a place where drivers are the leading cause of dead kids (the US).

This is very interesting regarding half day schools in Germany. We've considered moving to Germany for a while so our kids could learn German while they're young (also we just quite like the place). A half day school sounds enticing as well.
Chinese and Indian schools might be run like a boot camp, but that's better than running the school like a prison (forced attendance but less structure).

man is not in charge, not of global warming not of anything.
it is enough for mankind to attempt to be in charge of itself by uniting under one global government.

if the lie of global catastrophic weather change is helpful in yolking mankind together, than so be it. but i prefer to appreciate the history of mankind as being an endeavor of seeking truth even when we know truth is relative. And thus, attempting to pull mankind together with a single giant lie, whether it be an afterlife, a god head, or fear of a fire demon such as old man summer conquering old man winter, we are likely to be run asunder if we rely on a lie to unite us.

as a student of the jewish path, and many other paths, i find that this particular demon or 'baal' , the one of 'climatapocalypse' is unlikely to withstand even the briefest test of time. in 2 generations, at most, this demon will likely be forgotten as just some other random god offered sacrfice and attention at the altar of human effort.

humanity must find a path forwards, one with some profound measure of relativistic truth in it, but this doens't mean shallow lies , lies , of course, containing some measure of truth, will unite us. they won't. study humanity. you will see the patterns are about as slow as the ice ages themselves. after all, we've only been around for 200,000 years in our possibly entirely modern forms. and only 11,000 years with agriculture and recorded traces of writing.
alas, how do we emerge from this , that is a much bigger question. will we have a chrysalis? if 'climate change' is part of it, that's not bad, but it would still be surprising.
But it is. We have progressed out of slavery over the years. Without those who were staunchly pro-slavery and who profited from it mightily dying, they would have been fighting against abolishing it to the tooth and nail over the years.

After we have been molded in our childhoods, we don't change from that very radically. Certain imprints just stay with us the rest of our lives. If billionaires would be able to live forever our world would divide heavily into those who could afford to be demigods and accumulate wealth in perpetuity, and those poor buggers who would toil away in the companies the rich would own.

Maybe at one point the cure could become universally available. But the aristocracy of super-wealthy would remain and the gap between the poor and the rich would become magnitudes greater than it is today.
>Any negative unsourced article about the president is allowed to be shared but, articles about his opponent or his adult children are instantly and aggressively de-platformed. It's a very scary precedent regardless of your politics.

Really? Do you have an example of any other articles about negative news the Obama's children or Biden's children being "aggressively de-platformed"? I distinctly remember an entire news cycle about Malia Obama smoking weed. QAnon was allowed to post bullshit for months but somehow suddenly tech companies are biased.

Coronavirus: France's Macron announces curfew for Paris and Marseille
While true that it is extremely difficult to exploit (especially given the uptake of IPv6) there are some POC samples out there but I disagree with the severity rating awarded.

The 'juicy details' are as follows -

The validity of DNS options is checked with the Length field; that is, the value of the Length field in the RDNSS option is greater than or equal to the minimum value (3) and satisfies the requirement that (Length - 1) % 2 == 0. When an even length value is provided, the Windows TCP/IP stack incorrectly advances the network buffer by an amount that is 8 bytes too few.

(Note: Only relates to IPv6 Router Advertisement packets that use Option Type 25 (Recursive DNS Server Option) and a length field value that is even).

I don't think so. You could perhaps make an argument that banning all NY Post articles would be distribution control, although even then I'm skeptical. But if I picked up a physical copy of the New York Post, and found that the newsstand had snipped just this one article out with a pair of scissors, I'd call that an unambiguous act of editorial control and censorship.

We consume more literature in a year than last generations consumed in a lifetime. Filling all of that with groundbreaking writing is an impossible prospect. Competent production is much more scalable: if you can make one good episode you can make 100.
The opposite unknown is also part of the problem -- the facility doesn't necessarily know what procedures are going to happen until you're in the facility being seen by a professional with the authority to order any procedures. Any speculations about what procedures might be necessary by anyone not qualified to order them is akin to practicing medicine without a license, and so is highly avoided.
> [...] Problem is that I do not have any official experience that I can put on my CV and my job is unrelated to tech (employed in medical field).

Not having corresponding CV entries is generally only a problem for non-tech employers. Document your hobby projects and put them where they can be examined (I don't just mean "put the source on GitHub" as that isn't always the best choice, you have other options like giving a presentation and posting the video and slides, or writing a blog post).

Unofficial experience is still experience.

> I am interested in switching to tech career, but afraid that it is very unlikely at my age (34).

There are some sub-sectors where ageism is worse than others, or where the entry level positions are physically punishing (gaming, for example, where every project seems to be a Death March), but I think you'll find that there are many opportunities available to you.

Well. I think you may be overestimating the benefits of WFH, it can be tough to maintain boundaries. Not having a commute saves time, but being interrupted casually can eat into your productivity a lot. Conversely, you're at risk for working longer hours out of guilt that you didn't get enough done.

Anyway, I recommend having a designated home office with a door that closes, and invest in a very good chair. Also figure out in advance what your solution is going to be if your home power/internet fails.

Anyway, more specific advice will probably depend on the type of position you're looking for (full-time, part-time, independent contractor, consultant, etc.), sector (public, private, NGO), and industry.
