I was viewing this with my sysadmin hat on not from a programmer perspective. So firewalls and OS TCP configuration would be within scope and sometimes you have no choice over the lower level link you have. But yes, I agree that the lesson from the article is don't do this if you don't have to but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in ways the problem could be alleviated. From other discussion, it looks like setting a high MTU on the upper layer could help.

Precautions are not perfect. Just because your personal choice is to wear a mask does not mean you are 100% immune from the flocks of people that choose not to. As the numbers of infected grows so too will your chances of being infected, even if you take precautions.

>The people of the left were completely down with the faithless electorate concept, whoopie!

Well, I certainly wasn't, and I contest that this belief was widespread within the left, but without evidence one way or another we're not going to resolve this aspect of the disagreement. What I do know is that no significant number of people with political positions and political power used that power to throw the election results into doubt, as Mitch McConnell and GOP congresspeople are now doing.
> Perhaps it is considered more of a commodity now?

It is and it should be. What the white beards all too often forget is the fact that the generation before them would say the exact same thing about them (lack of enthusiasm, lack of interest and knowledge, etc.).

This is a story as old as time:

> The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households.

attributed to Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

How many 80s kids were into HAM radio or actually building computers (Ben Eater-style: https://www.youtube.com/c/BenEater/videos ) instead of toying with micros or basically playing Lego with PC components? Same difference.

Today's computers have reached a level of tight integration and complexity that simply cannot be grasped by a single individual anymore.

People keep whining about that when it comes to computers but happily accept the very same thing in other commodities like cars, clothes(!), highly processed food(!), hygiene and cleaning products (soaps, hair gels, rinsing agents, ...), utility grids, etc.

It's hard to get young people enthusiastic about glue or forging metals, even though both are essential to our daily lives - often in ways we don't even realise. Same deal, no whining from metallurgists or chemists.
That's the one I was looking for - Thanks :-)

I don't understand why she's blaming Silicon Valley. She got a huge boost in visibility from the Joe Rogan interview which is hosted on YouTube and Spotify, neither of which removed the episode.

She may have received a lot of criticism on Twitter and Reddit, but it was far from one-sided. If you read the threads on /r/joerogan, they're mostly positive and I have no doubt a lot of Redditers bought her book after seeing it there. She has 42k followers on twitter, has a pinned Tweet that links to her book, and I don't see any evidence that Twitter is stopping her from posting.

It actually seems like a great example of tech allowing a creator to reach audience even if they're shunned by main stream media and retailers.
It certainly seems very likely that what you're doing with said screen matters quite a bit, but this is also an extremely complex thing to try to study. Not only can the net result (i.e. a hypothetical positive or negative result) of a given activity change based on the individual instance of that activity, but it can also change based on the person doing that activity (whose mindset could also change depending on the instance, which could effect the net result of a given instance of a given activity).

The point is, while it might be "pretty obvious that not all screen time is the same," it would also not be that surprising if screen time was still negatively related to the average number of common screen activities over a certain amount of time (which is what you would expect from a study like this).

I'll of course hedge my statement, by saying that the Hacker News community is likely not a representative sample when it comes to common screen activities relative to the general population.
People are almost certainly dying from the shutdowns. Hopefully less than we save from virus, but this is a difficult thing to measure.

It might be worthwhile to figure out what brings you joy by randomly asking yourself how you are feeling from 1 to 10 throughout the day. You might be surprised, in that your joy rating in the moment may deviate heavily from what you predict. With this data you can start prioritizing activities and trying to change your situation.

Indeed. I wonder, though, to what extent the daily read rate is a function of the contested nature of the election (as viewed by Trump supporters) vs the volume/ cadence of emails. It’s difficult to hold up the Biden campaign as a control given the different audiences.

> Based on open data, the average Biden campaign subscriber is now actually reading an email every other day; the average Trump campaign subscriber continues to read multiple emails per day.
>we really don't use, share, or make decisions using information today.

Don't lose sight of the fact that you're reading this on (and the author posted this through) a computer connected to a global network. That's the only reason it's possible to read this. Disseminating this so widely would have been incredibly difficult (and expensive) not that long ago.

Is it perfect? No. But I feel like it's hard to see how far things have come when we're living with it day-to-day.
Apple or Google censoring text messages
> The same is true of so many other fields.

The Dunning-Kruger effect can be fiendishly subtle. So many people are limited by their experience, they don't stop to think (as you have) and imagine what fields outside theirs have taken advantage of in information systems.

I agree with the article that in the mainstream web/app ecosystem, there is a lot of unnecessary trash. Through my own experience, I've seen duplication of libraries and APIs that just frustrates. On those fronts, yes, it would be nice to have a little less paradox of choice.

But as you have graciously pointed out, there are domains undreamt of by the author that wouldn't give up the progress of the last 70 years for any amount of gold, and have much need of software still. Thank you for your examples.
The irony that you don’t understand that you are the problem
I doubt it. It's a cultural thing, and probably partly a manifestation of individualism.
Genius or psychopath?

I'm sure a lot more people would be successful with absolute zero morals - e.g. Hazing your young son for trusting you, as told by Trump Jr
That seems like a terrible control. Plenty of people do non-constructive things on computers at work (I'm doing so right now) and lots of people are productive at home.
I concur. The documentation is very incomplete. I know it can do a lot of stuff, but I wouldn’t know how to make it do it. It doesn’t seem to be intended for wide use, more like “here’s what we use, it’s open source, do whatever, but we’re not going to help you.”

That's an alarm bell if I ever heard of it in an industry famous for losing money.

This is purely my personal opinion, but the wikipedia community seems like one of the most toxic communities on the web. The people contributing to WP - the editors - seem more concerned with coming up with Kafka-esque processes to introduce to the community than making the actual work of making an encyclopaedia. Perhaps the only area where editors are as zealous they are about creating obscure processes, is in policing what content should they should fit into the their volumes. Truly, it is a bureaucracy expanding to meet its own needs. One that attracts a certain group of people, who have a certain view of social interactions, that necessitates certain procedures for social interactions, giving rise to articles like this one specifically.

For the rest of us cooking up an apology from a recipe is feel insincere, an apology is a ritual sure showing how its done ruins the illusion. On a higher level this type of process-over-vision thinking has ruined the goals and ideas of Wikipedia, a site which in the 00s seemed world-changing and lead it to it's decline in the 10s and to what I predict will be its fall in the 20s.

I hope to be wrong about WP, I hope for a new wave of optimistic idealism to swallow up tech again, bringing about a new era of amateurism. But with the professionalisation of even the free software community I have, I must admit, all but given up hope.
What's the difference between getting a burrito delivered and the decades-old delivery option for pizza?

>Amazing that people have normalized paying for the insane number of fees plus tip to get one thing delivered.

By the same token, you can ask why people eat out in restaurants given how much more expensive it is compared to cooking at home. I take your point about the expense though. If you habitually get delivery, it will add up to significant sums .. but then again, so does eating out.
Yeah the slides are pretty awesome
Not really. You could try to get a $25 hub from Amazon and hope it works, half the reviews seems to disagree on that.

However it still won't give you any HDMI or audio or Ethernet output. If you try to get one more adapter, say HDMI to connect a projector, you won't be able to plug it because there was only one thunderbolt port in the first place.

My own personal experience with `sudo spctl --master-disable` (which is narrowly-focused on large numbers of new script executables, not full apps) suggests that it only stops syspolicyd from using the networked assessment's return, not from performing the assessment.

In a narrow test it seems like it may very slightly improve performance, but I did a fairly large multi-project test with this setting in CI and saw no real impact.

By contrast, a narrow test with the "Developer Tools" security exemption added to my terminal, unambiguously demonstrates the large potential performance improvement of actually skipping the assessments.

Unfortunately, the exemption only seemed to work for apps, so I never identified a way to turn the assessments off in CI. Also, it causes my laptop to hang until I hard cycle or watchdogd kills it (after 5 minutes) on shutdown (I did all of this in Catalina, though I verified this was still the case midway through Big Sur beta; have not verified on final release).

> we didn't have millennia of home-cooked tradition built up before the restaurants arrived

Just to be clear, I was alluding to software here, not real food and real restaurants.
IMO the transgender craze mirrors some of what happened in the 80s with regards to Attention Deficit Disorder, and Ritalin. Teachers, principals, and school counselors with zero training in medicine, psychology, or pharmacology, self-diagnosed children with ADD and was a driving force for pushing the dramatic increase in the usage of such medications.

From a personal perspective, when I was but a wee young girl in elementary school, a bit hyperactive, the school made it clear that as far as they were concerned I had ADD, and I must be put on medication before they would allow me to return to the classroom. Forgetting for a moment that a school cannot do this legally, my parents were summarily cowed enough to put me on medication to appease the education establishment.

The author of the aforementioned article makes a very good point but I don't think they stated the conclusion in loud enough terms: People are self-diagnosing, then demanding medical care they don't need, while claiming any resistance is discriminatory. Out of fear, I think doctors and therapists are getting intimidated and going along with it.
Partly, but when I posited that, some time ago, it drew a fair bit of ire.

It's also something emotional. I grew up overseas, so I guess it never happened for me, so I sort of stand to the side, bemused.
https://obsoletemedia.org/exatron-stringy-floppy/

I almost got one of these stringy floppy drives for my Commodore 64, but then my cousin discovered girls and didn't need his 1541 anymore, so I didn't have to buy one. From what I've read since then, I was lucky that I didn't, as they were supposed to be horribly unreliable.

It's interesting how almost all storage media for the last 70 years is either on a long string, a spinning circle, or now a chip.
This doesn't address the bigger problem that is AB5, which never should have been passed in the first place. How many more carve outs do we need before AB5 is basically gutted? How many more millions of dollars need to be spent to overturn this tyrannical law? Seems like that money could be put to better use. We don't need government controlling our freedom to work when and how we desire.
Thanks. I based my 'probably' on a few things -- it's admittedly not strong:

- There was an American school about a lifetime ago that tried that strategy, and the principal claimed it worked fine.

- A general impression that before mass education it wasn't uncommon for people who got schooling to start years older than our start, with no impression that they learned arithmetic any worse. E.g. http://www.scientiasocialis.lt/pec/files/pdf/vol57/90-101.Pi... "In general the pupils began their arithmetical instruction at 10–11 and this
education prosecuted for two years."

- Piaget's picture of stages of development (in my vague understanding) suggests that arithmetic beyond a very concrete level would be developmentally unnatural for younger kids, and more natural later. Apparently Montessori schools do better on this score?

- Unschoolers sometimes reach adulthood with less understanding of math than state-schoolers, but if the average is worse, I haven't heard of it. Anecdotally they're fine.

- Hate and ignorance of math is very widespread (I've read similar claims about average French people with their substantially different school system)

- This jibes with my general experience, having gone to school, etc.

- There's not much reason to expect a claim this far from mainstream to have been carefully studied. Maybe it has been and refuted -- I just don't very much respect the status quo and so I expect there are improvements that would 'easy' except for the obstacle that it's very hard to meaningfully change the system. And this strikes me as a plausible (though unambitious) one.

(Disclaimer: Not a lawyer, but a number of my projects are licensed under MPL)

As I read it, the only time the MPL requires you to share source code is when you modify files belonging to the MPL-covered library. Even then, it only requires you to share the changes you made to the library - you don't have to share any of your proprietary or non-MPL code.

From TL;DRLegal: "You must make the source code for any of your changes available under MPL, but you can combine the MPL software with proprietary code, as long as you keep the MPL code in separate files."

So - did you install a MPL library using a package manager like npm or pip? You do not have to share your project's code.

Did you copy/paste a MPL library into a /vendor/mpl-library/ directory? You do not have to share your projects code.

Did you copy/paste functions from a MPL library directly into your source code? In this case, you may have to share the file you pasted into, but not any other files in your project.

Overall, I think the MPL strikes a great balance between the "do what you want" crowd and the "people should give back to projects that help them" crowd, which is why it's my go-to license for most libraries these days.
Curious to know - how do you tie the no-code transformation with your code-based transformations? Usually these processes end up siloed from each other.
You see this a lot in corporate land. Never admit a mistake because it is a liability when you're getting sued. You often see corporations offering compensation for something they did wrong while at the same time explicitly not admitting fault.

Even at the individual level you'll see advice like "never talk to the cops" because it could possibly be used against you in the future.
I never said there was. The lawsuits that have been frivolous have been swiftly thrown out by the courts so frivolous lawsuits are largely a non-issue.

It’s easy to know what Apple is going to support and for how long, and how much warning you’ll get when things are deprecated.

SV gets the blame because they control the platforms (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) and have no problem with doing whatever they want to further their agendas.

Admitting fault when needed is a core aspect of being a good individual.
Yes, it is, because taking up arms is not how we deal with social problems in civilized society, and civilians are not authorized to use force against other civilians except in extreme circumstances involving a direct threat against one's life.
Any peer-to-peer solution is very likely to (at least in my country) contain honeypots to find the IPs of people downloading (which is not illegal afaik) and seeding (which is illegal) copyrighted media. They then take those IPs to the respective ISP to obtain your identity and send you "pay us or we sue you" letters.

It's a pretty effective deterrent if you ask me.
Wow, what an awful manager. That's the business equivalent of flipping over the gameboard because one is losing.

When I was regularly in an office quite a few years ago, there certainly were days when I just didn't feel like cooking at all and would pickup takeout. However, I also had a stable of recipes that were generally in the vein of throw some things in a skillet and saute for 5-10 minutes. Especially with partially pre-prepped food in grocery stores these days, it's pretty easy to throw decent meals together quickly with very little time or effort given just a little bit of planning.
Indeed the phenomena of large highly diverse organizations trying to be experts, i.e. number one or number 2, in every sub domain is really untenable past a certain size. Even the casual observer begins to notice the pretense of competence versus actual competence. Perhaps the underlying forces are structural.
Interesting. Could you point to some information on this topic?
One data point. Doordash gives an annual $60 credit to Chase's credit card members for using it services. I used it to order food but I picked them up myself since I was usually on the way to somewhere. When the credit exhausted, I stopped using Doordash and ordered directly from the local restaurants.
