> Leaving that decision to you with a warning of its implications (ala Debian) is not really freedom because you'll make the wrong choice.

This is context dependent.

Suppose I'm changing an existing laptop from Windows 10 to Debian for a user. Suppose I must install WiFi to convince the user the machine it as all useful. Suppose if I fail to get the machine to work, the user will eventually go out and get another Windows 10 machine.

In this case the right choice is to install from nonfree. It's a compromise, sure, but it's clearly less bad than the alternatives and leads to significantly more freedom than the user had before.

To not leave room in your philosophy for these cases-- and there are many-- is to create unnecessary rifts among allies. You're doing it right now by implying that Debian proponents aren't True Scotsman due to the existence of nonfree.

The "passwordless" described by Microsoft is 2-factor (but is just as convenient as 1-factor). Login link sent via email or text message is only 1-factor.
Notebooks are primarily a discovery tool when you're exploring your data, deciding what ETL transformations and feature engineering to create and testing algorithms.

When you want to run stuff in production, you move to a regular code dev environment (or handoff to developers).

Now some things in business are infrequent enough that you can live with Jupyter for the once a quarter or so when you need to rerun updates but that's not the same as production code that runs daily/weekly.
Font "representing one poorly in a professional environment" sounds to me pretty much the same as insisting on strict dress code, banning facial hair, black or traditional hairstyles, etc.
Machine learning for K8s logs and metrics
Speaking for myself? Content. Philip Glass has 27 albums on Pandora, 105 on Spotify. Nico Mulhy? 7 vs 14. Maarja Nuut. Only 1 album on Pandora. For her, Pandora makes no recommendations for others to listen to, Spotify lists 20. Pandora has no bio, Spotify does. Third Coast Percussion? 8 vs 10. I'm just randomly clicking in my library and doing a comparison, they aren't artfully chosen examples.

I recognize this isn't mainstream listening, and for all I know the ratios are reversed for more popular music.

I found the Pandora choices of songs annoying. I love Philip Glass; I don't want to listen to a bunch of other people playing triplets against eighths. It's derivative and boring in comparison. I do want to listen to his contemporaries that compose in different ways. Or let's take Nuut again. I came across her recently while surveying contemporary Estonian composers. Pandora doesn't let me do that so far as I can tell. I'm interested in what is going on there compositionally over the last 2 decades, I am not looking for another person that writes something that is very 'similar" (according to the Pandora algorithms).

Finally, I never use shuffle. So much of what i listen to are

I believe Signal did create their own crypto (which is also used now by apps like WhatsApp). The difference is that Signal's crypto was created by a trained cryptographer and seems to be generally respected in the cryptography community while Telegrams is not.

But why? Do you have any specific knowledge to the effect that a better hardware RNG would somehow benefit your private lab?

As it is Linux already has completely acceptable source of entropy. The most significant drawbacks are that it could potentially be observed by somebody else with access to the machine and that it provides only very limited amount of entropy. Both are not a problem when you use private RPi to generate a dozen keys for your home lab.
> use OS-provided async IO primitives to poll file descriptors and do event-driven programming etc...

My understanding from reading along with many of these conversations is that the ultimate goal of the async IO frameworks is to amortize system call costs across multiple IO operations, instead of having >1 per.

I've heard some speculation about system call overhead going up in order to guarantee correctness (for Spectre and Meltdown class scenarios, but also for some other classes of concurrency issues). In which case io_uring is the carrot and system call slowdown the stick.

Strange. It's a bit of a red flag if someone is in complete radio silence with all their exes, frankly.

Obviously, you aren't going to enjoy hanging out next week, but I'm surprised you dated enough that there's a "breakup" if you don't enjoy each other enough to have something to salvage.

That website has logged 10 complaints in 13 years, most of them in 2016. This is a bit of a selection bias: yes, if you select the terrible examples, 100% of them will be terrible.

On the other hand, I listen daily to their flagship science show "Shortwave" and science-adjacent shows like "The Indicator" and their general news updates, and they are pretty great both in terms of being pedagogical and in not being misleading when they simplify something.

The word "judging" has multiple variant meanings. It is being used to mean two different things in this subthread.

Judging whether a candidate is coachable, their thought processes relevant to the job, understands the ideas etc is what the interview is for, you're right.

But "I'm not judging" doesn't refer to that. It refers instead to the concept in the word "judgemental". Some definitions of that are "having or displaying an overly critical point of view" and "thinking, speaking, or behaving in a manner that reflects a critical and condemnatory point of view".
The author blames the US for chipping away its treaty agreements and paints the Taiwanese as naively pinning their hopes on US intervention, but China is far from an innocent party in this.

There would be no treaty or peace if Taiwan actively tried to arm itself back in the 80s, 90s, or 2000s.

As a 'rule of thumb' in the late 1970s storage cost about $1000 a megabyte. By the early nineties, say 12 years later, it was down to $1 per megabyte. By the mid-90s it was down again to about 20 cents a megabyte - I was speaking to a computer shop owner and he was raving about his new 500 MB disk: "That's half a gigabyte!". Then the bottom fell out of things, and storage got very, very cheap.

I recently looked at a 256 GB micro SD card online and marvelled at it. If I could have shown my 30-years-younger self that, I just would not have believed that something so TINY could hold an enormous amount of data.

> Can you separate the cultural relevance those techniques have for us from the work they have done in a fascist context?

I think you must be aware of them and learn from history but we shouldn’t abandon everything that was misused for evil purposes or we’d have nothing left. Worse than that we’d inevitably forget it and reinvent it and make the same mistakes being ignorant of the past. The wisest thing to do is to take those things and correct their flaws and turn them into something that can benefits everyone.
So great to hear it being used like that!

I'd really love to have a standalone executable version of Datasette too. I've been meaning to spend some time on that - bundling Python applications is tricky but it should be possible using BeeWare or PyInstaller.

The best way to install it at the moment is "brew install datasette" - but that only works if you're on a Mac. I really need to get on top of the Windows installation process too.
I mean, if I'm looking for a monospace font, I'm probably either in a terminal or writing some code. If I'm trying to create a beautiful document, I'll probably use some variably-spaced thing inside LaTeX or something. I think showing me a big sample of code is genuinely the most useful way for me to get a "feel" for how the font is going to perform.
For Rocket you want to use the master branch which has async support. Then your request handler is an async function and you can just .await the future returned by reqwest.

> 57. There are two red flags to avoid almost all dangerous people: 1. The perpetually aggrieved ; 2. The angry.

I'm not saying this is wrong, but I do think it's oversimplified and misses a lot. Some of the most dangerous people I've known come across the opposite. Charismatic and sociopathic, they can smile while lying, stealing, cheating, manipulating, and sadistically hurting others for pleasure. The clues for these sorts of people are often more subtle.

The rest of this section (Hazards) are good though. This one in particular:

> 61. It is cheap for people to talk about their values, goals, rules, and lifestyle. When people’s actions contradict their talk, pay attention!

Actions are the real signs that break through the sociopathic facade. Talk can be faked and used to warp perception of reality. Action ultimately requires actually interfacing with reality.
Interesting. I'd like that for Notes.app which is my go-to example for how transparent autosave + always-editable can fail catastrophically.

Once I had a very long list in Notes.app that I'd been maintaining over a few years. One day while scrolling it on mobile, I somehow replaced the entire document with some stray input, and by the time I noticed, undo couldn't restore it. Though I was able to recover it because my laptop (which Notes.app will sync to) hadn't yet connected to the internet.

Many conservatives (that's how I'm labelled on here, so...) do not support the police as is. I've specifically witnessed more than one instance of absolutely treasonous behavior by police - threatening to hurt people and make up charges. It's counterproductive to think that only 'the left' is against bad police - nobody wants to pay people to ruin the system.

However, those people probably don't think that the police "committed acts of brutality against protestors", they likely see the videos of BLM peacefully protesting and police standing by, and Antifa committing arson and attacking police and police fighting back. (Portland, Chicago, Kenosha) And they think that fighting and arresting rioters is exactly what they pay police for.

> their enablers being too ignorant or too hateful to recognize the stupidity of the action and how 2020 has set them back decades in getting people to trust them.

You were talking about BLM here? Because "Breona" is just as fake as Jussie Smollet's story, and Jacob Blake would have been shot if he was white, etc. Watch the videos of woke white people in Portland shouting racist slurs at black cops to show how much they care about black people in general.

I recommend watching this talk:

“The Value of Values”

It explains what the difference is between state and value and why most (almost all) programs actually have very little state and can be written mostly stateless. It was a big eye opener for me.
I worked at an org that used Confluence heavily and remember how long load times could get if the page was large.

> 3. Things you use for a significant fraction of your life (bed: 1/3rd, office-chair: 1/4th) are worth investing in.

The most brilliant invention I've seen in a long time is the MyPillow. Like a bed, it's something you spend a lot of time with - but there was no brand recognition in the space. This guy created the best pillow he knew how to make, then advertised the heck out of it with premium positioning. The company is local, I hope I run into the founder someday.
In my view, it is a form of incompetence so common and, in practice essential for growth as a business that it has become a ubiquitous baseline against which we should strive to differentiate ourselves from.

It is complexity that is accepted in small amounts across dozens of projects over many years. Projects that add real value to the business while contributing to this invisible debt that from the business point of view, matters only once it has started directly affecting your revenue.

There's more than one counter-case to rationalism. Atheists, liberals, Democrats, progressives can all be irrational or pseudo-rational.

What would pseudo-rationalism even be? Purported rationalism, yes, but the rationalism would be just a smokescreen for positions that are not rationally derived and therefore not addressable by means of rational argument.

I don't understand why you think asocialism or self-interest is the opposite of rationalism. I think that's on an orthogonal axis.

It's now tough to buy affordable cotton underwear and t-shirts. Acrylic fibers are literally everywhere in our house dust, and end up in our lungs. They also end up in oceans from the washers. So, I think one easy step is to remove plastics from our clothing! Always check the fibers of your clothing and go for the real thing. Wool, linen, and cotton - I try not to buy any garment made of something else. I'm not really sure about bamboo fibers and how they are made, so I pick the traditional fabrics, which can wrong you!

> Researchers aren't (shouldn't be) accountable to business outcomes, but rather the truth of what they argue.

if a business funds research, they expect the funding to have a positive ROI. Therefore, the business will pressure research towards this, and thus, will inevitably make the research accountable for an outcome.

This is why fundamental research should be publicly funded, and publicly available.

I wonder what the appeal of having the build tools written in JS is, as performance is key here. Spoilers on the article:

> Rebuilding our seller tools, which previously took almost a minute on every request, now takes under 30 seconds when we’re starting a fresh compiler, and subsequent requests take only a second or two.

According to [0], esbuild is orders of magnitude faster than we pack. The speedup advertised is from 60s to hundreds of ms. The article talks about 12k js files, while according to [1], 4 year old hardware could handle an out-of-date check in less than a second on the entire code base if using a tool like make.

Im coming at this from an outside perspective, but even the results sound like they could be substantially faster? That said, it's an interesting article and I enjoyed reading it!

It's really obvious that Azure has much lower adoption than AWS. For example, I evaluated their new Front Door combo accelerator / CDN product recently. One page listed their customers, and there were about a half dozen total. Out of curiosity, I scanned the top 1000 domains and found none using it. I got the impression that I was one of the few people even evaluating it, let alone using it in production.

Despite just kicking the tyres on the thing, I found about half a dozen bugs or missing critical features. That's just shocking to me.

For comparison, CloudFront -- the most direct competitor -- is far ahead in features and is used by far more customers. It also works out of the box.

All of the other Azure services other than plain virtual machines give me the same impression of being a first adopter and one of only a handful of customers.
And the broadband that Australia has now is NOT as good as what was originally envisaged.

The idea when the NBN was announced was that bandwidths delivered to each house/dwelling by fibre would be sufficient to cover the next 30-40 years. However, the next administration, said 'Nah! We don't need that much bandwidth, we'll change it to 'fibre to the local node' and then use copper to deliver the data from the node to each dwelling."

Consequently, the NBN is just completed and is already straining to deliver sufficient data for the requirements of TODAY, much less be suitable for another 20-30 years.

Governments just have no idea of what technology is, or what it requires.
