I don't think it matters, roughly half of browsers have it on and half have it off. The most important thing is to not change it from its default since thats the real marker trackers can use.

IMO, not even governments should have this kind of power. The same way we desperately needs to break big companies, we also need to stop big governments.

> I also considered "offline" managers like KeepassXC, but synchronization gets way worse, and there's also the issue about trusting someone else with your mobile apps.

I'm using KeePassXC. Originally between three computers (Debian desktop, Debian laptop, and Microsoft laptop) where it was part of my git repo that I'd sync in between the machines as needed (git repo hosted within my own instance of gitolite, btw).

I've migrated more functionality into Syncthing - so now it's very rare that I ever need to do a manual merge within KeePassXC (which was always a robust operation anyway). KeePassXC has a setting to reload from disk if it sees that the password db file has changed, which makes this process seamless.

Part of my Syncthing setup is that I have a receive-only copy of my various repos on a Debian VM that runs a couple of archive tools (dirvish and borg) which provides for point-in-time restorations if needed.

So - I'm wondering what synchronisation problems you've had, and what you've tried. And what alternatives there are to trusting someone else's OS (replete with non-free components) on mobile, along with someone else's bundling of code into mobile packages?

There's a handful of keepass-compatible android apps, some of which are GPL, and Syncthing can keep a copy on Android easily enough, but ultimately there's a lot of trust in mobile land no matter how you slice it.
For CDN purposes, you assume that something on each end of the TCP connection --- something outside of BPF --- is going to be running a full TCP. In our case, that something is Linux's TCP/IP stack running in a Firecracker VM (we could load XDP programs into our VMs, but we don't).

You can do a lot with TCP, and be tolerant to out-of-order delivery and drops, just by shuttling the individual packets. So we can in fact "cut through" TCP sessions directly to Firecracker, avoiding our proxies. We don't, though: our "tcp" handlers actually route through our Rust proxies, both because that's what they've always done, and because in most cases there isn't much of a win to bypassing the proxies, which have a lot more load balancing and resiliency logic than the BPF-based UDP data path does.

DNT was an entirely pointless idea. Given the easy choice, no one wants to be tracked when not being tracked is an option so browsers rightfully started making it the default since its what everyone wants. But no tracker is going to think, gee, no one wants me to track, guess I'll shut down my business so they ignore the marker or use it as another tracking point.
Companies swap out their internal functionaries regularly, and regression to the mean suggests that as an organization they're likely to lose any principles they may have started with.

People can certainly lose their principles, but from observing past behavior (e.g. the number of times Raymond has told moneyed interests to fuck off), I believe that certain people are capable of holding certain principles for longer than a corporation would be able to.

Secondly, these individuals and communities recognize the inherent problem with needing to trust them, so they jump through hoops to make sure that publicly available binary builds are reproducible and verifiable. They publish their open-source software in a way that doesn't require you to trust them as much as you would need to trust a corporation with a closed-source product.

Not only do many corporations not bother doing this, many corporations that maintain open source products deliver binaries that obviously have more stuff baked in than their source code would suggest. For some categories of product, like a password manager, open source with reproducible builds is table stakes, not an optional feature.
I am a big fan of Educative.io as I have realized I don’t learn concepts well through video, but I still need my hands on the keyboard while I am working through material to stay focused. The small quizzes also force me to pay close attention to key details and absorb better.

I find that video tutorials are better for learning ways to be efficient with tooling so random Youtube or conference videos work fine for me. Or even better, a remote pairing session with someone really strong in some particular tech!
We do not treat death as an infinite penalty in our decisionmaking, as evidenced by various cases of people choosing to die for one reason or another, prioritizing the achievement of some other goal (with a finite reward) over survival.

People can and do use statements like "death must be avoided at all costs" (it's also mentioned in the paper), but that statement simply is hyperbole which is not exactly literally true description of reality.
Once, I wanted a parser, and being the sort of person who thinks there is value in seeing what other people have done before, I took a look at parser generators.

The learning curve seemed long and steep, much more than seemed necessary for my modest requirements, so I rolled my own.

I got a parser out of the exercise, but also an appreciation for why the tools exist, and a new-found motivation for learning how to use them.

I used to work for a pair of real estate investors involved in a pyramid scheme in my early days as a developer. The investors would pay a lot of money to access a data broker to find houses that were, for example, going through foreclosure, short sale, arbitration, etc. We got some pretty violent phone calls regarding how exactly we knew what we did—your home is usually the last thing you want to lose next.

There isn’t any panacea for scrubbing your data from these brokers. All the spam email, texts, calls, or even snail mail most of the time are coming from hydras like the real investors I mentioned, not large companies. Personally, I’m so sick of spam emails, smses, and calls that I’m just going to bite the bullet and start over by making an anonymous email/sms/voip service with Twilio (I did this professionally for 7 years) and put an end to it all.

I've been reasonably critical of medicos and medical science in posts to this article, but in all fairness I think this sort of thing happens in almost all professions.

Everything from time constraints to lack of knowledge to incompetence and or a combination of these is often found in most walks of life.

With medicine, we've a terribly complicated field, and like any profession, there is a range of competencies. I recall decades ago knowing a state director of health (the state's top doctor) and he said to me 'if you ever get really sick come to me and I'll put you in contact with the best advice available, as there are too many in this profession that I wouldn't give you a quarter for'.

As I said, this is a problem with all professions, finding the best advice available, can, at times, be a daunting experience.

Really, when all these missteps are stacked up, how was anyone thinking that this company wouldn't fail? I know hind sight is 20/20, but these all should have been immediate red flags.
In theory, I agree: there should be no second-class users of any software.

In practice, I'm not sure how that's possible. I18N is hard, really, really hard, to the point that only very large teams can really get things even close to right. Really, you almost need as many people working on the issue as there are written languages, or at least some people are going to be second-class users, right?

But let's says we stick with EFIGS, since that covers most of the western world and supporting Arabic and several different Asian character sets is well outside the expertise of the majority of people reading this page. That's still really, really complex.

NB Like this 2009 article, that cartoon is explaining a mechanism which is now obsolete. Your browser still knows how to do things that way (for at least a while yet), but it would rather not because it's less safe for you.

The TLS 1.3 walk through somebody else linked represents more or less what an actual browser does when talking to many popular sites, and even though TLS 1.3 isn't a majority of sites yet the behaviour for most (but not all) TLS 1.2 sites now more resembles that than these older articles in crucial ways.

Most essentially, we do not do RSA kex (client picks random secret, encrypts it with RSA, sends it to the server, thus implicitly verifying the server knows the RSA private key) unless that's the only permitted way to get access. For whatever reason people like explaining RSA key exchange, long after we don't like using it because it isn't Forward Secret.
I wonder why IDE-enforced markup-schemas haven't caught on. Like a static type system for your markup (i.e. Kubernetes could declare your "types" and your editor could ensure the config fits them).

VSCode has something along these lines for JSON - at least on its own settings configuration - but somehow the approach hasn't become prevalent. Are we lacking a standard? Motivation?
Thanks for the links. Very interesting to read how you get around these tricky dynamic operations!

> get threads that want to monkey patch to stop other threads and tell them to start checking for redefined methods

As an aside, this sort of reminds me of branch prediction at a higher level. A very neat way to speed up for the general case of no patching.

> This is a great example because people said 'surely... surely... there will always be some overhead to check for monkey patching - no possible way to solve this can't be done' until people found the result already in the literature that solves it.

There is still overhead when patching is used though. If you don't use the feature, you don't pay the cost, however when monkey patching is used there is a very definite cost to rewriting the JIT code and thread synchronisation that compiled languages would simply not have.

I can see where you're coming from here. If we can reduce all dynamic costs that aren't used to nothing then we will have the same performance as, say, C. At least, in theory.

It would be certainly be interesting to see a dynamic language that can deoptimise all its functionality to a static version to match a statically compiled language. Still, any dynamic features would nevertheless incur an increased cost over static languages.

It's the dynamism itself of Python that incurs the performance ceiling over static compilation, plus the issues I mentioned in my previous reply about boxing and cache pressures. However you've definitely given me some food for thought over how close the gap could potentially be.
Speaking of global trends.

The famous Limits to Growth report was published in 1972.

In 2008, Graham Turner wrote "A Comparison of The Limits to Growth with 30 Years of Reality" where he compared 30 years of historical data to The Limits to Growth, he found the data to match the "business as usual" scenario.

Then, in 2012, Turner did another take using 40 years of data. Again, the data matched the "business as usual" scenario.

The point here is that The Limits to Growth "business as usual" scenario predicts a collapse of the global system by the mid 21st century, with first signs appearing somewhere between 2015 and 2030.

This Global Trends report, like many other future-probing reports, do not seem to place much emphasis to the megatrends explored in The Limits to Growth. I find it strange, since resource depletion, environmental/climate problems and sudden population drops certainly would have a massive impact on everything and completely perturb e.g. the geopolitical landscape.

Of course the "business as usual" isn't going to end up exactly as described. But, since according to Turner, the data in 2012 was more or less tracking the "business as usual", factoring it in might perhaps make for more robust predictions.

I don't mind using Amtrak for business travel between Boston-NYC. Parts of the trip are pretty scenic. You can get delayed quite a bit by other rail traffic, but as you point out, you still have a table and can move around. Acela isn't much faster, but it is a lot smoother then the regional trains.

But for family travel, we end up driving, as the cost for 4 people is just too high (even considering expensive NYC parking).
I don't understand how the more expensive providers can still have customers.

Same network, same conditions, different label on the box, 3x the price, at a price point where it should matter to most people...
The Volt and Prius Prime are plug-in hybrids, not pure electric vehicles. If you take those out (which I think was the OP's intent - driving a plug-in hybrid doesn't make you look as "green" as driving a true EV) Tesla is clearly the majority.
As a tech enthusiast on a forum heavily populated by people interested in disrupting aspects of the world through technology, you are missing a big, big boat here. And I'm not even referring to the possible investment opportunity - rather just the opportunity to watch with open eyes as some of the foundational facets of human society are disrupted. I find the anti-BTC tone of the discussion here very disappointing but also very interesting (I can't figure it out except through intellectual arrogance).

I offer the perspective: you hold a set of deeply held assumptions that are being actively questioned and poked at by this technology. The level of your reasoning is not up to the task of understanding what happens, even long after the disruption has happened. I recommend investing in education on this topic.

Isn’t this related to Pareto Distributions?

Once you lose, you generally have lost some resources or access to resources, so now you have less resources. Having less resources, you are less likely to be able to take some resources and try to win again?

Winning means you have more resources or greater access to resources, meaning you can try again.

The unfortunate part is in the losing cycle, you can get stuck at zero... you lost and hit zero... now you have no resources and no way to get out of your situation.

While I understand where you are coming from, and in fact use http on my personal site, I have to disagree about which is better.

For the Web (Meaning HTTP/S), compatibility back past 5-6 years seems kind of pointless. There's to much changing to fast at too many layers to be a really good target, unless you are serving an actually static site (Which is not a bad thing, it's what I do). Even then, HTTPS still has value, as it can prevent ISP's from injecting advertisements. I don't believe this is currently a large issue in the US, but I remember a recent discussion about bad behaviour by ISP's in India and other countries.

Edit: I do however believe that (for a static site on https) it is a good idea to allow a fall back to http, assuming of course that you are fine with the contents being mitm'd. Also, I think the Gopher is a good thing to serve in this kind of situation.
My understanding is that even beyond deduplication, ZFS performance relies heavily on caching data in memory, and without that it's actually quite slow. As in, it'll work with even 1 GB of RAM, but becomes less and less useful.

Yes, that's unfortunately true. Once you need to collaborate you need to export. Earlier versions of Scrivener still had the option to work on individual files with external editors. But I'm not even sure if this is still possible, it might be, but the files are all randomly numbered now and not named, so it kind of makes it impossible to use an external collaborative editor.
>Modern software is so huge and complicated (...) Not sure what can be done.

It's assserting that there's a need to differentiate more situations from each other than there are real numbers, and basing its conclusions on the assertion, but it is not providing a convincing basis why that assertion/assumption/hypothesis is true.

The author demonstrates that a system without such a capability would not be able to solve a certain set of problems. However, going from that claim to a claim that this capability is needed for human level AGI is a non-sequitur - there is no evidence that such a capability is needed for human-level intelligence, and there's no evidence (at least not mentioned in the paper) that humans have the exact capability described.
