Indeed, lately I have lost my interest in reading long-reads, I just want to get to the point.
>Surely you can’t stipulate just anything in a contract and have that upheld as binding by a court, even in the US?

That's a great question. I'd expect that courts would not uphold claims to one's first-born child[0][1], but only because that sort of thing is already illegal (human trafficking). As for stuff that isn't illegal, I expect that YMMV.

That said, people actually "agreed" to give up/assign their first-born children with these "Click-wrap" agreements.

That people are so cavalier about such things should be a huge red flag for regulators to require not just a link to such terms, but that both parties should be required to demonstrate their specific understanding of terms and conditions before such a contract can be considered enforceable.

But that's not how US courts have interpreted this sort of thing. So, as always, Caveat Emptor!

I personally ponder the idea of de-FAANGing my life as much as possible. There's something distasteful about these very small number of global companies shaping so much of our human condition.

I already dumped Facebook. I feel like I could do Google and Amazon next. I make my living with AWS, so there's that.

I'm not sure if Netflix is worth dumping, by din of this criteria.

I feel like Apple is the least offensive here, but their app store missteps this year put a harsh light on their relationship to their dev community.

Twitter I'm likely to close after the election. I know I need a year off it, no matter what happens.

You don't push in something like git, but you also don't try to do mesh. You interact with maintainers and their trees, but not necessarily always the same.

You clone a maintainers personal tree (which can be anywhere), make the change, and email them the patch with git send-email. They then apply it with git am -3. Trusted maintainers might tell another maintainer to pull their tree from wherever they put it, but they can place it wherever in the moment, including just on their own machine - it only needs to work for a single fetch as well, and could be a new location every time.

Technically it's private, not privacy. The original point of VPNs is to be in a different _private_ network, like a LAN, "virtually", instead of locally.

The privacy thing was just added on by simply sending all of your traffic over the tunnel, in the hope that the VPN exit router monitors less than your local one.

The author claims the commit hash is bad links to an article... but that claim seems entirely unsubstantiated? Its not the hash that is bad, its the files that are bad. If you manage to hack git to get the commit without the files (clever trick by him), you don't hit any legal issues.

They're using the fact the YouTube-DL (sp?) is being removed by GitHub automatically when rehosted in new repositories, due to DMCA complaint (and likely overreach). If someone rehosts his repository onto GitHub, the repository will be taken down, and the rehosting account likely banned.
Small nitpicks:

Unless I'm missing something, they are never smaller, but they can be equal (at powers of two).

Not much of an issue - the world goes on without systemd.

You'll meet a few annoying dependencies on it, but as one will quickly find, it's rarely critical, and mostly because of people using its dbus implementation or similar (which has no relation to the rest of systemd, and yet is entangled in libsystemd...).
The hash is probably an excellent heuristic for spotting commits from the original YouTube-DL Git log, and so GitHub probably scans for that when searching for rehosted copies.

On the topic of pigs and pork I enjoyed this recent Adam Ragusea video about why we don't have a good explanation for decrees against eating pork:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sew4rctKghY

Like most of his work he tries to research and source everything he says.

I can't recall if it was in the video or a comment, but one idea is that chickens just do it better. They convert garbage to food (and eggs!) more quickly and efficiently. You can eat one chicken but can't eat a similar sized part of a pig, which is important before refrigeration. They don't make lard which was a major use of pigs (apparently they were often grown fat on purpose for lard, not meat) but warmer climes had access to and preferred olive oil anyway, since it kept better.

Github complies with the DMCA, recently famously through the DMCA takedown of youtube-dl. The writer, Joey Hess (a relatively well-known OSS programmer, moreutils, for instance), is choosing to interpret this as their banning any repo that hosts the commit hash for youtube-dl (which they banned).

So he is jokingly showing you a way to create a Github poison pill. The joke is that if you include this 'illegal' hash you subject the repo to being DMCA'd out (not really, but it's sort of an 'imagine if'). Which means his repo is now unpublishable on Github (for long anyway).

It's kind of hacker humour in the sort of vein that you'd expect from an old-schooler like him. You sort of have to get the joke to get the joke.

It sounds like you're an early stage company - most established companies have the problem of too much feedback.

At the early stage my experience has been:

1. You should install SmartLook, FullStory, or similar to watch users. Qualitative feedback beats quantitative b/c your raw numbers are too low to be useful.

2. Identify key points in the customer journey when you want to collect feedback. For B2B SaaS I ask for feedback via email at these stages:

- When a customer signs up for a trial

- When a customer converts to a paying sub

- When a customer doesn't convert

- After 1-2 months of paying

- When a customer churns

First I'll make sure that I get system-generated emails when these events happen so I can send them manually.

I'll eventually automate sending these emails once volume gets too high. I'll automate them by sending from our app or from a tool like UserList or Intercom.

And when I get feedback I centralize in the tool I'm building (www.savio.io) and use it to prioritize what to build next.

My last company, went the dedicated route, had management that understood how much of a ripoff AWS/Azure/GCP was and hired people who know how a lot of apps are built and run, and didn't need to redevelop them to fit the architecture which costs a metric ton more with little benefit. Press releases are almost always complete BS from companies when it comes to tech, again not all but most, we saved x using some dubious calculation.

AWS makes some things easy sure, but at my house I have what would cost $15k a year and I spent ~1500 all-in including 10G switch(used) power use is a joke, even with expensive electricity where i am AWS still a ripoff. Same processors as AWS essentially as he was quoting, 10G to my home nodes that need it and bobs your uncle. And I do tensorflow things at home too, i bet that would cost 30k/year, i do it for $1500 BOUGHT and for another $500 for a 3080 or a few in my servers and id be saving tons. Yeah it can go down, but just buy two or a rack, its going to be cheaper than AWS hosted colo. I could scale this myself to a few thousand servers, ive seen it done wrong so many times.....

The truth is more like he mentioned in hist first paragraph, if you have a fan boy at the helm it doesn't matter if he's CTO he knows it all, Ive worked with a lot of CTO's lately they don't have a clue and I feel sorry for them, wasting so many company assets because underlings couldn't possibly know more, i love the x google/facebook guys saying basically scrap everything re-architect its funny and so wasteful but at least they are making more money than me!

One guy said he hates Jenkins, some teams have hundreds of jobs in jenkins that work just fine, he said it should all be redeveloped, some of the stuff has been working fine for 10+ years, not sure he has company interest in mind, he want' everything to be "serverless" its the same damn thing effectively genius.

Hire some sysadmins to run your show, the good ones cost a ton, and computers at their core haven't really changed much in 20+ years nor has the fundamental way the internet works. Good experienced sysadmins can save you a ton and its just as reliable. You just have to trust experience over advertising and real math over funny math.

An individual has immunity when the immune response is triggered. By definition. It was very confusing to me at first before I caught on to the meaning of the term.

It makes sense when you think about it. Can you "get" the virus a second time? Of course of can. That doesn't contradict the fact that you have some level of "immunity".

After all, the immune response is a big part of what most of us feel when getting sick.
Is there any evidence that GitHub is automatically removing reheated copies? Last I saw, GitHub had posted a comment asking folks not to re-host, at risk of being suspended, but there was no indication they’d started any kind of automated scanning.

Beyond that, it seems like a very community-hostile move to intentionally embed commit hashes that would even potentially cause a user to get banned from another platform if they push a copy of the code there. This doesn’t stick it to GitHub, it sticks it to the users of your repo.
Did they? The top level post is referring to "construction labor" and "qualified tunnel workers."

Quoting from the linked torrentfreak article:

> If you commit or post content to this repository that violates our Terms of Service, we will delete that content and may suspend access to your account as well

My reading of this is that github wants to stem the flood of garbage pull requests to their [dmca](https://github.com/github/dmca/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed) repo, which I guess is probably reasonable.

I don't quite see where github is banning certain commit hashes or tree hashes on sight.

I certainly respect the authors desire to not publish their repos to github (and indeed one of the nice things about git is how easy it is to self host). And I can understand not wanting others to fork the repos to github (due to objections about the company itself), but I'm not sure how I feel about adding deliberate boobytraps to repos that seems to be purely punitive.
> As a consumer, I suspect hosting a "holding" domain, and possibly email, with AWS Route53 DNS might be a sensible approach that wouldn't break the bank.

This is what I do.

Totally isolated AWS account that owns `my-account-recovery.com` in my country-code TLD (because I have legal rights and strong and easy access to appeals processes with that, so unlikely the domain could be wrestled from me and likely I could eventually regain ownership if lost).

I use Amazon SES for incoming email to simply drop all incoming messages as objects in a S3 bucket.

I have SNS notifications going out to my regular operational email whenever a new message comes in with the metadata (sender, subject, etc but not the body as that could contain actual reset/account recovery links) so I can keep an eye on what's coming in.

Haven't looked at my bills lately, but including domain renewal and stuff this is maybe $100/yr to establish this as a root of trust/access. Even if other accounts are breached/suspended/etc, I will still have access to this account and can recover my way down from there.

I'm putting all my eggs into the AWS basket here, but I've had a good experience with them in the past and I really can't find any examples of people being locked out of their accounts in the same way I can with Google. And I know from experience that it's not impossible to get in contact with a real live person when it's required to resolve an issue.

Rosetta 2 translates x86 instructions to ARM and cache result. That translation seems quite good given that they demonstrated a complex 3D game running translated code on ARM hardware much weaker than what Apple will deliver in laptops.

Honestly I think x86 games will run better on these ARM laptops. Keep in mind x86 on laptops don’t work great. Apple could outperform most of their x86 laptops with a passively cooled ARM tablet.

An ARM laptop with active cooling will destroy their x86 lineup.

Besides you also get the whole iOS games catalog now which is much larger than the macOS game selection.
