Why would any developer who doesn't use a Mac even consider bringing their extensions to Safari? The vast majority of developers use Windows or Linux: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-de...
A static placeholder doesn’t really count as “back online.” Their domain name found a home—that’s old news at this point. The jury is still out on whether (or where) they will find hosting.

I’m calling this one misleading clickbait. No, they are not back online.
snaps are tied to the proprietary Ubuntu store and they are not available on all of the Linux flavors. For instance, I don't see snapd on Alpine Linux:

Not cool, I think.
As someone who works in medical devices I can tell you in the medical field it's not enough to just write on a box "If you use this incorrectly and get injured, it's not our fault"

Medical products have risk assessments a mile long for every scenario the manufacture can think of, and the mitigation for being administered on the wrong patient is often "Don't sell to non ISO-13485 approved clients"

If enough people get injured because of your product, the FDA or MHRA is going to investigate you, no matter how many disclaimers you put on your products.
It wasn't wrong for the MacBook though. The use of OLED and other modern techniques could have made MacBook even thinner and lighter. And in that extreme, having only one port, butterfly keyboard, and enlarged TrackPad were Trade offs that was understandable.

The problem is they then bring that mentality over to MacBook Air and to the Pro.

TrackPad causes false positives [1], why were they using butterfly keyboard just to get 0.6mm thinner? It was basically all the wrong trade offs.

Oh and the cable were too cramped they failed after closing and opening every day for a year? [2] Which was clearly a design flaws. Not only did they not fix it for free and at try to use the opportunity as good gesture, they actively push their customer for a $700 fix in order to push for services revenue increase. And the problem has been known since 2017. Those report by mainstream media only came in 2019.

And many other things, Post 2016 MacBook Pro was so bad at one point in time 2015 MacBook Pro's 2nd hand price was higher than 2016-2018 MacBook Pro.

> For example, does Teams really record the actual messages a user posts in a Teams chat?

I’m confused with this question. Why wouldn’t it? It’s not like Teams has (or will have) any kind of end-to-end encryption in place. Teams is a sluggish and monstrous replacement for chat that stores all messages (on Microsoft’s servers if the organization uses Office 365) to synchronize views across devices. The easiest way to achieve such synchronization with history is to store everything on the servers. That also has the potential to make searching faster (though such a potential is squandered in Teams, in my experience).

> The Microsoft spokesperson continued: "We also believe that privacy is a human right, and we're deeply committed to the privacy of every person who uses our products. Only the global administrator has rights to the analytics and reporting experience, which provides insights into the ways in which the organization is using Microsoft Teams, not the message content itself."

IMO, this part is perfect wording in legalese. It doesn’t say that the global administrator does not have access to the message content. It says that the analytics and reporting experience (which the global administrator has access to) provides insight into how Teams is used and that this experience does not provide the message content. There must be another “experience” mode that provides access to all message content from every user in the organization’s scope. After all, every organization has its users emails available to it at any point in time in plain text form (unless the user has encrypted them with specific keys unknown to the organization). Why should chat be considered more private?

You're conflating web site and web app which I specifically called out. If you're building the new great gig delivery app, using the same API for a mobile app and web app isn't a big deal.

My issue, and I think a serious issue with the web today, is all of the essentially static content treated like it has the same needs as some web app. Your gig delivery app needs to represent the instantaneous state of the database back end. Your blog post does not.

JavaScript-based "sites" are often little better than the Flash sites they've replaced. They're often inaccessible, opaque to search engines, break linking, and are also opaque to microbrowsers [0]. For every site that relies on JavaScript but doesn't have those problems there's dozens that do.

Unfortunately, no. Frugality is almost 100% irrelevant. The only thing that matters (at least in growth businesses) is product market fit and you can see that reflected in all of the megacorps today as well, which are extremely wasteful.
I like your point. However one thing I severely dislike about East Asian meal & drink culture is the implication that drinking alone - simply sipping your drink while enjoying the meal & conversation - means you are not enjoying yourself, and possibly also insulting the host.

This means that every time you want to sip your drink you have to entertain this needless protocol: identify someone around the table - preferably someone you have yet to drink with - say cheers (translation required), and sometimes drink all of the 60 mL cup at once. You should also keep a checklist of who you have and haven't drunk with. The more political, the greater the need to move around the table at random intervals, shake hands, and drink. This is a demonstration often devoid of meaning.

If it's a real party it can be fun to bottoms-up all the drinks. For a more relaxed meal & conversation setting (my preference), as an outsider this is uncomfortable. It ruins the slow enjoyment of expensive alcohol. Why can't I sip my own damn drink with my meal?!

Also as someone who drinks a lot less as I get older, I lately find myself not drinking at all at these events, because there is no middle ground.

Agree service meshes today need extensive configuration to make it production ready. My opinion is that service meshes are still not mature enough. Many products are built as a layer on top of istio (check solo.io or ambassador, or knative), but are still complex to manage, and require some basic envoy proxy knowledge.
Will they be integrated with kubernetes and fade in the background? definitely not, not even close.
Ad fraud is real. It goes the other way too, the "proxy" site could serve up a different ad from the one it's supposed to be sending, and it would be hard to know.
It is a part of reality, and a demonstration of the power that derives from ideas.

Perhaps ideas could also be used for good, but that would have to be tested of course.
The Jews who wrote Genesis aren't the Jews who wrote the Midrash. The culture from which the myths concerning the Nephilim and Benei Elokim arose had no problems with God having sons, e.g. Mot, Yam. The Jews of Elephantine are documented as having a temple to Anat, daughter of El (God) by his wife Asherah, in the 5th century BCE.

The opposition to reading any of the Hebrew scriptures as referring to "Sons of god" likely arose as a reaction in Rabbinic Judaism to Christianity, both of which (along with Karaite Judaism) arose out of Second Temple Judaism.

The source code version of vscode (ie, your own binary) is incompatible with one of the extensions microsoft developed (pylance?), which is AI powered python code completion.

Microsoft did not open source this extension. Therefore, the fact that it does not work with a non-microsoft build of vscode is not surprising - and in fact, should be perfectly acceptable. To claim that microsoft _should_ be releasing this proprietary extension as open source and free is to claim that a user is entitled to it, without paying the cost (presumably, that being the telemetry that the microsoft build of vscode collects).
The requirements for a space reactor, and for a terrestrial reactor, are radically different. No space reactor will make sense for terrestrial power generation. The temperatures are different, power density is different, safety cases are different. A 20kg reactor likely needs highly enriched fuel (space reactors are typically fast reactors too, so we're talking about something that's almost a bomb there.)

An external neutron source does not greatly change the needed enrichment (since any practical subcritical reactor would still need k fairly high, so it is only a bit subcritical.)
Of course not, but if you retell it twice, one might turn into the other.
In my experience, Teams, even with the official Linux app (Electron-based) simply doesn't work on Linux, just like Skype for Enterprise didn't work before. Had an appointment the other week with a customer, and had to resort to dial-in with audio-only. I guess you need a corporate account or something, but Teams wouldn't say. When I wanted to start a video call, an error message would flash up briefly, like 100ms, so you can't read it - typically MS, I thought, shrugged, and deinstalled the app, for it to be never installed again. That was for a .deb-based package; a snap wouldn't even install. Regular Skype, OTOH, has worked for like 15 years.
My guess would be they mean running a specialized unikernel.

Keep in mind, any such kernel would have very simple requirements. k8s typically runs on a hypervisor not bare metal, taking care of security, and bare metal compatibility. k8s manages the sharing of resources. The file system typically needs to be ephemeral rather than persisted. IPC all happens through explicit APIs.

What else does a kernel even do?
Well, NT runs on top of a HAL so could be considered not running on bare metal. And some systems have supervisory code running in a coprocessor. At the other end, a modern OS, like the mainframe OSes of yore, did IO by talking to coprocessors that did the heavy lifting. In the old days we called them "channel controllers" but now we just say that the USB chipset handles the details with the OS just orchestrating.

But I agree with you, as I hope my comment was clear: while it's an interesting metaphor, K8s is a long way away from being usefully thought of as an OS. And if it ever does reach a point where such a term would be useful it will be unrecognizable when compared to where it is today.

What is fascinating and tragic is how how Soviets treated their own repatriated POWs. The hero of this story remained classified a criminal until 1957 when the head of the Soviet space agency personally pled his case.

He's spending 1B$/year and BO's approaches are reasonably novel.

You're probably thinking of Amazon's house brand approach, which is funny to imagine in this context.
We’re probably not that far apart. I do think in the future that more people will be concerned at least with basic low level optimizations because some “next gen” languages make it so much easier. Part of what makes it hard now is that C lacks many of the very useful abstractions and features that have matured over the last few decades.

The first compression algorithm I implemented (on and IBM PC/AT in the mid '80s) was LZW. It's my favorite type of algorithm - elegant but hard to get your head wrapped around. Once you "get it" it seems so obvious.
> That being said, it's not even true anymore that ETH is GPU-only; despite attempting ASIC-resistance, there are now ASIC miners for ETH too, although unlike with Bitcoin, Ethereum is still able to be mined with GPUs.

Last time I looked those "ASIC" miners for ETH were basically a few GPUs stacked together in one case. More of a special PC setup than truly ASICs and that's why there is still GPU mining. Those ASIC miners were not that much faster and cost effective than a regular GPU setup.

Has that changed?

Cookies are used for all kinds of session state management besides auth. Your shopping cart, for example, depends on them. Without cookies, the server would have to send the entire state of the session in each response, and the client would have to send that entire state back on every request. Cookies allow the client and server to exchange only a small token that the server can use as a key to state storage.

Even if you could shrink that state down to something reasonably small, it still introduces the problem of the client and server getting the state out of sync.

The Wikipedia entry you link to and which I quote here doesn't go into that. Wikipedia is no higher a bar than Youtube.)
Thinking About Deploying MongoDB? Read This First
I agree that Service Meshes should be easier to use and configure both statically and dynamically. The cost of running them is also a con. Those extra sidecars make your pod heavier and slower to start.

I disagree that they should fade out of sight. This sentiment is to a larger extent applicable to reverse proxies too. My experience debugging problems when the service mesh is not accounted for can be painful.

For example, setting keepalive parameters and max connection age parameters for gRPC clients and servers. If the intermediary proxies and sidecar components are not accounted for, connections may close sooner than configured on the server but still be open on the client. Similar permutations of this abound.

Another example is retry logic. If retry mechanisms are configured between client and server, there can be a multiplicative blowup of connections established/dropped to/from servers due to intermediate proxies retrying.

I think hiding the service mesh will end up with complications similar to "dll hell".

Yes, but segmentation by that would be prone to high error rates most likely, and result in error rates too high to gather meaningful data from A/B tests like this.

Absolutely not. After 30 years in business I have seen too many execs walk away with huge (>50+ million dollar pay packages, upwards of 250 million due to pre-arranged exit deals) even after failing greatly and seriously harming franchises if not permanently destroying them. And when times get tough, the C-suite uses their management consultants as cover to whack a ton of ordinary folks because "you know, overlaps". Think like a mercenary at all times. They do. Don't get me started on gentleman agreements about bonuses to be paid after 12 months "if" I came onboard.
That seems unlikely, there are important seasonal phenomena in hunter-gatherer life, such as game migrations, and knowing when a part of their range will have specific foods ripen.

You do not need another copy of the FreeBSD userland in a jail.

My unbound dns server, for instance, has something like 24 total files in it. The reason it has so many is because I run two different jails from it - my unbound jail and my nsd jail share the same directory/mountpoint.

Which is to say, I run two different jail commands, that start two different jails with different IPs and startup commands, but they both point to the same directory/mountpoint.

Updates consist of replacing a few binary executables.

Not everything will fit into that model, but when it does, it is fantastic.
