So the block works for now, but what happens when
a) macOS is changed such that Little Snitch doesn't work anymore, whether it is because the architecture changes in some critical way, or Little Snitch iself is blocked by trustd?
b) failure of trustd to succeed in its call home becomes a hard failure that blocks execution?

I can kinda see a noble intention behind this: protect system integrity by making sure no "known evil" application runs, like say a ransomware. But I have two problems with it.

First, it seems to assume that the call-home server will always be available, which seems a bad assumption from an engineering standpoint. Even the mighty and holy Apple can suffer outages, for a myriad of possible reasons. Be it a fat-fingering of some parameter during an approved maintenance window, the criticality of of which was heretofore unappreciated, a cascade of on-their-own-innocuous failures transforming into a deadlocked hard-down situation, or the fact that the North-American Fiber-Seeking Backhoe is not and never will be an endangered species, the result is ultimately the same: the mother-may-I server is not available.

The second reason, giving Apple further capability of evil shenanigans is already well covered by other comments here.
That's assuming you want to hire the first person that can do the job.

The companies that popularized this were and still are EXTREMELY lucrative, and get a TON of competition.

They can afford to be choosey. So they can try to find not only the person who can do the job but also do it BEST.

And that's really hard to tell from just looking at their work experience. You want to see how their brain works under pressure, dealing with an ambiguous new problem they've never seen before.

A lot of people who rag on modern tech interviewing don't get this. Unfortunately, so do a lot of people DOING these modern tech interviews. "He said the algorithm was O(n log n) but the answer is actually O (k log n). Not inclined"

And so, we spiral.

I have. Many times. Every time I end up debugging suspend/resume, graphic drivers, multiple monitor, etc.

I spend enough time changing config files for my job, I’m not spending my own time doing it just to get basic functionality working for workstations.
Not in this case. This particular thread is about any app that was not an Apple app having problems launching, regardless of how many times have been launched before. It has revealed that actually every opening of any application phones home.

Have you really used a desktop Linux desktop recently? Sure it might have some problems but Fedora for example is in no way "a distant third in usability".

I haven't used MacOS for a couple of years but I can say for certain that Linux is not that far behind Windows and sometimes even ahead. I think the main problem is lack of application support but specifically for developers most applications are already there.
My more general point is that it may be harder than the GP suggests to distinguish between a military versus an extermination attack.

I've been holding off on upgrading my MBP13 for a few years now because Apple was painfully slow to refresh it. I was ready to order the model that came out in May (with 32GB RAM) but then the rumour about ARM hit the internets so I kept waiting.

Now (I guess always?), it's clear that Apple Silicon is not going to be a comfortable dev environment, at lest not for some and not for a while. JDK macos/aarch64 port is still in dev and so is VS Code. Docker support is probably months away (looking at their roadmap no dev has even started) and when it arrives it's almost certain to be limited to ARM linux images.

Still, hanging on to x86 on a Mac seems like a lost cause and I wonder if I should just change my approach. Rather than getting a beefy MBP, get the cheaper Air with M1 and a powerful MiniPC (NUC or similar) with native Linux. VS Code has a Remote Development (over SSH) feature, has anyone used it? Can it be combined with Docker (on Linux) in a seamless setup where the Air runs VS.Code and all devel happens on the MiniPC through remote coding? Is this setup going to work when VS Code macos/aarch64 is out or is there something else one needs to wait for?
You strongly disagree based on feelings and conjecture?

As engineers, we should know to only use strong words one way or another when overwhelming evidence supports our claims, which is clearly not the case here.

I self-host SearX, and so can you. Its fairly easy with Docker [1]. However via self-hosting you don't get the anonymity benefits from their upstream (Bing, Yandex, whatever else you enable) which you do get via a public SearX. But with a public SearX instance you don't get the privacy benefits from that instance (ie. all searches can be traced to you).

So I end up using both public and self-hosted SearX, DDG, and Google as last resort.

I don't believe the economies themselves are broken either. That's a weird hypothesis and no facts to back it up with. The person might be conflating "economies" with some form of "capitalism".

Nevertheless, I do think we know (for the most part) what is going on. It's just that we reached feudal times again (never left them?), where decisions are made by our rulers and as long as the great ruler of america and the great ruler of china are friends, then there is no war. And everything else is waged on the backs of 'The People'. Or something.

On a more serious note, the above comment mentions a job guarantee. That is part of Kelton's MMT proposal.
There are two things I don't like about it:

1. MMT is called a theory, but it's actually a descriptive model, and it has shown in the last 3 decades, that it is quite the acurate model.
2. Kelton conflates what MMT teaches us about monetary politics and fiat currencies with her own agenda, namely the job guarantee. And it's hard to argue against the latter, when you acknowledge the first. And that is only possible, because MMT is called a 'theory'.

Nevertheless, I believe you are right DoreenMichele, that we as humans should never stand still. I don't think I could 'not work'. As such a universal job guarantee or public programs are scary to me, because although I like work and won't stop anytime soon, I feel like this will be abused by politicians to cement long working hours. And while I do like work, I think less working hours per person is what we should thrive for. This is a conflict in my head.

I am a fan of UBI, because I don't see myself stopping to work anytime soon, and it would have just relieved me of a lot of stress when I grew up with basically nothing. At the same time, I can see that there are jobs people might not pick up if they had sufficient UBI. Thus these jobs need MUCH higher pay. Because the people doing them (mostly) do them out of passion.

Where does it lead us? Unfortunately where we have always been: the very classical class fight. It's not a grand conspiracy theory, there is no one controlling entity with one mind, but in general laws and law making are skewed towards "havers". Which you might as well just call our new feudal lords.

And until we put up some sorts of guards against (too much) abuse of power, dismantling of democracy, opaque deal-making and abusement of the planet's resources (especially without pay or even subsidized) I don't see it ending anytime soon.
>>> And before "have you tried this *nix distro??" comments appear, they are still too hard to setup

I think why Apple, Android, Windows has the advantage is none of those 3 OSes require installation by most people. Why treat Linux differently?

>>> and nowhere near as user-friendly for most people on an everyday basis

User-Friendliness, I think, is more on day to day interaction. It will be interesting if there is a study in an area with low computer/smartphone interaction. Split them into 4 groups. Each group has their own OS. Later on they will be tested with some tasks.
I think Qwant predates the Q-phenomenon becoming mainstream by several years. Other than that, I agree with the other answer – Q is a perfectly good letter and we shouldn't let them steal it from us.
Yeah, the Green New Deal would have stifled the booming US nuclear industry, and our carbon emissions are so much better off without it /s

If we take away the whole 30% store fees, the dev's revenues jump by ~43%. For example, instead of earning $100m, same developer would earn $143m. With 30% fees, if a game developer earns 100m revenue, store owner gets 43m.

The piracy option is not all that shady at all (there are good sites, and even the bad sites just need you to know what a magnet link is and not clicking on other download links), and you can get DRM-less copies in any combination of size/quality/encoding you want. It always boggles my mind how people in developed countries have not (all) caught on to this. You can even easily stream the content, using, e.g., peerflix. There is even opensource software that creates a media server, though I have not tried them. And these are all just the mainstream stuff. There is lots of niche piracy, e.g., Telegram channels and groups that post books, movies, TV series, etc. Telegram bots that just give you any music you request (I personally found them better than a premium Spotify subscription). Google shared drives that have everything. Sites that offer direct download links of everything (these sometimes specialize to a certain category, e.g., games). Piracy is so mature that it was and is much better than the best money can buy.
You’re assuming your light pole cables were designed for 100-1000kw loads, not for 50w LED’s. But I generally agree.
Maybe it is hard to generate, but without it you have no basis to justify your discrimination. I think that people specifically denied policies that allows it by intrinsic discrimination is a very good and sensible step and should continue to be regarded as the better approach.

If you want to discriminate without sufficient evidence, I am plainly not with you on this.

It is the simplest form of power play to treat people differently because it breeds jealousy. Jealously can lead to discrimination as well. You can do that as a team leader and be sure that people are more concerned with each other than holding you accountable. This is actually a common behavior in corporate office culture which had many tech flee the premises because they had a choice.

No company (or academic institution) I've ever worked for developed _anything_ on MacOS. That's a US-only phenomenon, I think.

The thing about Android, it was essentially foisted on people, not chosen because it just works. Also, many Linux distributions today "just work" on typical hardware - almost as well as Android on your phone. And if you were using a hardware config chosen by someone else, and a Linux-based distribution pre-installed and pre-configured for that hardware - then Linux very much "just works".

It is true, though, that this is not enough to expand the user base far enough. That needs a lot of coordinated, collective, public activity.

nervous about this as well, on a 2015 MBP with the dual-core. Already struggles with a 4k monitor plugged in, probably wont be upgrading from Mojave if performance is any worse.
Climate is also a more macro level view of a system. Think Entropy.

Imagine Oxygen molecules in a box. The individual movements are complex and unpredictable but at a very high level macro view we can see all of these movements in aggregate as temperature.

Temperature is not only much more stable then the chaotic movements of individual atoms but it is predictable and controllable. I can heat a kettle of water to a very specific temperature and I can accurately predict the rate in which it will cool down when I stop heating it. I cannot however control or predict the actions of specific molecules within the kettle.

The lower level you go the more chaotic things become. The higher you go the more deterministic things appear to be.
This study was done in China. It is important to know the locals behaviour with regards to natural Vitamin D source (the Sun). Locals do not like to have "too dark skin" and as such are using sun screen with factor 50 and try avoid sunshine altogether.

Well reading the terms and conditions (example: Catalina) it's not so far fetched that this is being done and it didn't happen suddenly but it was rather a long way coming. The outrage wouldn't have any legal ground. It seems that the issue is rather that the oscp service was down and thus was an annoyance (putting it mildly) instead of functionning as intended.

It's not a question of reasoning. It's a question of definitions. The most rigorous definition I've seen is that climate is a probability distribution over things like weather. Climate over a year in San Francisco will get you a distribution of temperatures, humidities, smoke, etc. Climate on Nov 13, spread out over many years is another distribution over weather.

It's easier to deal with these distributions because you don't need to predict the next year of weather to predict what global temperature properties keep the earth in equilibrium with incoming solar energy, for example.
