Hmm, thanks, I'll have a look into that. The objection to nest using "Google for Domains" or whatever they changed it to these days seems to be to do with the domain admin having access to everything. Which would be just fine for me, as I'm the only one that uses the domain.

Hopefully signing my address up that way, when it's already a domain account, won't b0rk all sorts of other things :/
Yeah, Xiaomi seems like a terrible starting point if you're worried about surveillance.
Nearly all experiments suffer from correlation/causation problem, even as the experimenters repeatedly claim that it was factored out.

People in general point to scientific evidence only when it backs their stake, or worse, world view.

As soon as scientific evidence is shown that counters their stake or world view, then we go straight to "correlation is not causation."
> It was turned on by default in May of 2020. It was available before then.

Thanks! I do think default matters though. Do you know how they handle groups and metadata?

> He could, though, and you have to trust him not to. I see that as a problem.

Personally I don't. At the end of the day we have to trust a lot of people for society to operate. I'll stay on Signal where I can get my non privacy concerned friends connecting while all signs point to the opposite of Moxie turning. Especially considering the tradeoff of how the space is moving so fast currently. Maybe I'll revisit when no metadata E2EE group chats are widespread and Matrix creates a very simple server setup. Federation makes sense to me for mature technologies, but not for fast moving technologies.

I think I should point your attention to the MIR (МИР, Машина для Инженерных Расчётов - Engineer's Computer) [1] and Setun [2].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIR_(computer)

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun

The first one had pretty much high level language programming circa 1965 (Elbrus came later and iAXP432 much later). The second one used ternary logic which is closer to exp(0) and is more efficient.

The "products for people" innovation in USSR was to make sure that everyone has heated home - and heating was centralized in USSR (and now in Russia too), which made it much cheaper and affordable. It was in different direction and without pervasive advertising.

PS

Many inventions happened also before capitalism.

Itanium was a really bad architecture for the time (and possibly still is). It was a bet that sufficiently smart compilers would be available, but they weren’t available in time. They aren’t even available today 20 years down the line in a form that would have justified Itanium if they were available then.

It wouldn’t have mattered if Intel controlled the OS or not - it just wasn’t competitive. There’s nothing you can learn from it about Apple - who delivered an ultra competitive, likely even when emulating Intel architecture in software.

The Ivies and comparable schools actually are now incredibly generous with financial aid.

For instance Harvard automatically gives a full scholarship to any accepted student whose family makes less than $65,000 per year. For Stanford, the cutoff is $125,000.

There are other private schools that are as you describe, though.

I came to the Mac almost 20 years ago. It was very different back then. The first decade of Mac OS X was brilliant. I felt it was the best consumer OS ever made. It was also a fairly "open" system: Mac UI on top, UNIX underneath.

The second decade of Mac OS X (now macOS), has been a disaster IMO. It just keeps getting worse and worse. All of the restrictions we see now were added in the past 8 years or so.

In short, I was already fully committed to the Mac before it started to get locked down, but I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with it as time goes on. There's not a great alternative, however.
I'm sure you're just throwing in a personal anecdote of interest and already know this, but for readers unfamiliar with these pieces of hardware:

The SNES (early 90s) and the GBA (early 2000s), despite roughly similar graphical capabilities, are vastly different machines. The SNES uses a 65816-based architecture running at ~3MHz that's extremely hard to compile C down to while still getting acceptable performance/code size - almost all games for it were coded in assembly language.

By comparison, the GBA uses an ARM7-based architecture running at ~33MHz. GCC was available for it literally before it came out. Even though I'd experimented a bit with QBASIC when I was younger, plugging away on the GBA when I was around 14 was how I learned C, how computers really work at a low-level, and roughly speaking, how to "really" code.

So this isn't a GBA C++ compiler - that's existed for ages. This is a "just" game engine. It's super cool that people are still working on stuff like this - the GBA is a very fun platform to develop a game on, at a nice sweet spot between straightforward enough to get started on, powerful enough to make something cool, not so powerful that you need a team of dozens to make something impressive (for the platform).
In what way is it not federated like e-mail?

> or I will forever be stuck on one other guys server, right

This is valid criticism at the moment.
There is work being allocated on fixing this issue, with multiple protocol drafts, but it might take a year a two before you can finally transfer accounts between servers.
Looks cool. How do you make money off this?
It’s pretty odd right now that most languages are trying to add more ml features to classic oo and imperative languages. Design frameworks that are much easier to use in functional languages. Then try to make it work with imperative language or classic oo language and wonder why it seems to get add unnecessarily complexity as the app gets bigger.

Seems like we are at a start of a transition period where we will move to more functional languages over the next 20 to 30 years. I wish a large company would design and modern ml and not try to make it backwards compatible with an existing runtime.
Neither did the first demo of a conventional train. It was a horse drawn cart on rails that could hold 5 or 6.
Speaking as the project lead for Matrix (and Element) - we are doing everything we can to improve Element's UX. If you're interested in the details, go watch the first 5 minutes of this week's Matrix Live (our weekly podcast), where Amandine and I spell out how important this is; it's literally an existential threat to the project; and what we're doing to fix it: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/11/13/this-week-in-matrix-2020-...

Our goal is of course to use it as a replacement to WhatsApp / Telegram / Discord for social stuff, even though it's dominated by developers today. And we will get there (despite all the negativity on this thread :|)
I currently have the stupidest microwave ever invented. There's a big rotary dial that turning clockwise does some weird weight thing that nobody would ever use instead of setting the time to cook. If you want to set the cooking time, like anybody who isn't some kind of psychopath, you have to turn it anticlockwise and then clockwise.
A solution for their issue that "no transactions in the last 3 months" can break due to server side changes is to return the message from the server instead of having it in the app.
That’s not clear. They likely spent about the same total cost on components with $100 more for worthwhile components instead of the Intel tax

We will see when we get a full teardown

I think you probably know this, but whey is suitable for vegetarians (being a byproduct of curdling milk) - and whey-based protein supplements are often vegetarian. Vegan protein supplements are generally extracted from things like peas, beans or hemp.
Jeremy here from that Boundary Layer Technologies. That company building hydrofoil cargo ships. Hydrofoils are not new and have been working for half a century in harsh weather conditions. Please look up the Pegasus class ships from the US navy. Technology has changed in the last 50 years which means we can greatly improve efficiency and practicality of foiling ships especially in the world of airfreight.

Foiling vessels can be built to handle any weather condition of a buoyancy based ship. And because we're at sea for no more than 6 days we have a much greater weather prediction to avoid storm swells compared to a tradition ship who might be at see for more than 30 days and cannot go around the storm.

For 99% of the time, the ocean is pretty flat so we can still have 99% on time delivery.

LOL, I appreciate your words about vagueness. We have not been specific about how we will achieve our goals, but watch out of the coming months for a lot more details. I do love a good hater, it's a promising sign.

I thought it was great, a wild journey through the 17th century. But maybe not to everyone’s taste - massive sprawling scope and there is indeed a huge cast of characters; it’s packed with various (mostly super interesting!) digressions into things like coinage, banking, alchemy, court politics. It will take you a while to get through.

If you’re not sure, you could read his Cryptonomicon first, and if you like that, and are good with even more so, and in the 17th century, then Baroque Cycle is probably your thing.

Excellent point; thanks for your clarification :)
Doesn't have to be a superpower. Look at all the autocrats that set themselves up in various African states. If anything, the success of a power grab depends on weak institutions leading to poor incentives to be "well behaved". This could be at a large established corporation, or a nation-state in disarray after a revolution.
Depends on the reason behind being vegan / vegetarian. If it's to reduce animal suffering, eating chicken is almost certainly causing a greater amount of animal suffering than if you eat cows.

If someone's world view of vegetables is broccoli, cabbage or carrots chopped and boiled and served as plate dressing, then in all honesty vegetables are flavorless. The thoughts of eating a mountain of over boiled cabbage just make my skin crawl.

Thankfully there are plenty of options out there that show that vegetables aren't just that, and the internet makes that all the more accessible now too!

OP here. I think this is exactly right "The exact number is irrelevant, the fact that there is a number is relevant. That means the developer not only understood the business requirements but also measured the impact afterwards."

In follow-up interviews, the interviewer may dig into those results, and in reference checks, may try to confirm your achievements, so I do not think it's accurate to say it would be OK to use BS numbers.

But the overall sense that numbers are important, and send an important signal about a developer's work habits, patterns and practices, is true.

This was a super information-rich video and I’ll definitely have to check out the Datasette library. But when I think of a “personal data warehouse”, I see a lot more utility in centralizing financial data (cash, assets, debts, receipts), health records, government documents, and other more... non-trivial information. The examples of “plot your dogs weight over time by filtering tweets” and “rank pictures you’ve taken of Pelicans by ML-graded aesthetic quality” are delightful but absurdly frivolous (and I honestly can’t tell whether they were meant as serious examples or not..).

What I want this to be is a kind of mint.com, but with the ability to ingest from a wider swath of sources, and without having to grant a third party app access to my bank account. I’m sure many companies have tried to make all-encompassing life-tracker tools that I’m not aware of, but I’m equally certain that they have serious security and privacy problems. And it’s entirely possible that this is all just wishful thinking... that centralizing sensitive data in this way will always create a single point of failure that is inherently risky.
Wow, there's some spectacular FUD going on here. "Opaque organisational structure"? Have you even read https://matrix.org/foundation, which I personally spent months trying to make as transparent as possible?

Except we have: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/06/02/introducing-p-2-p-matrix. We have people working on it full time, and hopefully going to evolve into hybrid P2P/Client-Server eventually as per that blog post.

That's the point. The #8CantWait proposal is problematic because it calls for strict bans without accounting for real world situations.

As for active shooter situations, guidelines now call for the first responding officer to immediately move in and attempt to stop the shooter by any means necessary. They aren't supposed to wait for a SWAT team to respond. It's ridiculous to propose separate use of force rules for them.
When making policies on serious (and dangerous) topics for a large population, a single death is not a large risk. Even if this policy is wildy succesful, I'd still expect people with mental illness, police, and mental health processions to be occasionally killed in interactions (as they are today).

The point is these are difficult situations and the goal would be to decrease the rate of bad outcomes, likely not eliminate them.
In my neck of the woods, "unlimited" means 10GB uncapped, with throttling to just about good ol' ADSL speeds after that.
That decision came after the fact of the popularity of cars. The infrastructure adapted to cars after cars came about and started taking over, not the other way around as you make it seem.

I got the same feeling from this post. It admonishes creating poor or unnecessary abstractions without demonstrating how to identify and avoid the problem.

How can you look at one interface/abstraction/api and concretely say “this is sweeping complexity under the rug” - what exactly makes that a fact instead of just an opinion?
"When you’re scrappy and broke, the only path to success is to make the company successful. When the company is rich and multitudinous, an individual can gain more from politics and turf wars rather than actually trying to push an already high enterprise value higher."

OP here. Readers of your resume, and ultimately hiring managers, will make assessments of your overall capabilities based on the type of achievements you use in your resume.

If a senior engineer cited an improved loading time that could be googled in 5 minutes as one of the 4 or 5 accomplishments in her or his two years at a company, they'd be sending a bad signal about the type and scale of achievements they're capable of. Hiring managers will be looking for something more level-appropriate and that indicates a relevant level of skill.
If you, not a designer, realize the problem, imagine how it feels to be a designer looking at this from the outside. It's hugely frustrating.
Perhaps we should think about this from a utilitarian perspective. There are obvious security advantages to app signing. But there are also negative implications for privacy and availability. Given tens of millions of non-technical users, is app signing likely to result in more good than bad, taking into account the fact that it can be turned off? I don’t know the answer, but I’m pretty sure those who relentlessly focus on the possible downsides don’t know either.

I see moves like this as seriously harmful. By removing popular pirate sites (already shady enough), search engines steer traffic to even worse places: referral spam blogs, mirrors with malware-laden ads, abandoned and spam-filled forums, etc. Boosting these sites directly aids malware campaigns like SocGholish that use poorly secured blogs and forums to spread trojans that are then used to give access to ransomware operators, like WastedLocker (which has no qualms with targeting hospitals). But Hollywood's imaginary lost revenues justify any unintended consequences, right?
Nitpick: Hunan cuisine makes significant use of Sichuan peppers for some flavors, not just chili peppers.
