> people should stop calling Signal secure as long as it is tied to a phone number.

Like nearly everything, "secure" is a spectrum and not binary. On that spectrum, Signal is overwhelmingly more secure than most messenger apps people actually use.
iCircuit is great
He says "docker, just plain docker" but in reality uses docker-compose - in my view a significant addition.

However it aligns well with my own sentiments - for anything below large scale complexity or scalability needs, docker-compose hits a beautiful simplicity vs power tradeoff.
Another thing I like with Amazon is that you can easily know the exact date you have to return something. With Best Buy for example, they have a FAQ page by category, but I couldn't find nothing regarding turntables, for example. Way easier on Amazon - at least after you order - just going to your order page and seeing the return deadline there.
Ooooh, nice-talgic! I'm reminded of the fact that the menus for the DVD release of Wayne's World (1992) were an approximate replica of the Prevue Guide of the day -- a channel dedicated to (Amiga-generated!) scrolling program listings for your particular cable system. The DVD menus even displayed movie trailers in the upper half for other Paramount DVD releases, the same way Prevue did for movies showing on premium movie channels.
Yes - this is Part 4 of journey for repairing them.
Sadly not possible on iOS. Even on macOS, creating a good sandbox profile is non-trivial (and technically unsupported by Apple).
You can dismantle privilege by tearing down existing systems or by building greater inclusivity into them. "Dismantling the systems of white privilege" is too vague to disambiguate this semantic dispute.

By analogy, you can force male-only clubs to close and you can force male-only clubs to be inviting to women. Either action would dismantle the systems of male privilege.
Well, at any given point of reference (e.g. a star or galaxy) there's a clear ordering of events, who is first there. And the relative velocities between different stars and galaxies aren't that large; if we're speaking also about cosmic time scales (e.g. not days or years, but millions of years) then there's no need to involve relativistic reasoning about who's first.

Current versions of Chrome still use gQUIC for most instances when talking with gQUIC-capable servers such as Google and Youtube.

Just checked, mine used version Q050 just now.

Of course, there are many versions of gQUIC, some more like IETF QUIC than others as they are transitioning parts of the protocol in stages. Version Q050 is the pre-TLS version.

As it's used between Chrome and Youtube, a lot of the world's internet traffic is over gQUIC at the moment.
All the vintage mainframe stuff is pretty mind blowing.

Your investment thesis would then be that GME becomes a token of value independent of the underlying business, dividends, and so on. More of a collector's item.

Intriguing, and (lamentably) not entirely impossible. But, you know: bubbles do have the habit of bursting.
I did not dismiss the article, I've read it. I just replied to the pretty strong statement that his choice is a "go-to" stack for building SaaS.
Every polyphasic sleep story: “I did this for a few months and it was incredible. Then I stopped and went back to sleeping through the night.”

Is it just the social pressure, I wonder?

Nevertheless, I’m glad to hear that science is confirming what seems anecdotally obvious: siestas help.
There are like 10 weak points in the linux security model. Wayland plugs one of them but there are still a bunch of ways around it. Yes any program you install from the package manager can still see everything but wayland combined with flatpak and SELinux gets really close to a secure system similar to MacOS.
It comes down to what counts as admissible evidence in court.

Absolutely... I think HFT is useless rent seeking. It provides little efficiency, I think, and the liquidity often drops out when the market needs it most, anyway.
Maybe what's happening is: if you have a Kindle (you bough it form Amazon - or you bought kindle books on your account), they assume is likely you want a kindle version. If you don't have a Kindle, they want to show you how cheaper the Kindle version is, and maybe you will end up buying a Kindle.

I really have no issue with assuming familiarity, the part I was concerned about was you calling my comments a "misdirection" when it was not my intention to be misleading.

And, I am sure there is a reason, I just have not seen anything that indicates anything good enough that it is worth drastically reducing the quality of the ASLR they provide.
The way I see it, there's a level of complexity above which SSH becomes too painful to administer. So now what? Well, unless you find something inbetween you are up for setting up a full VPN and managing the complexity and security of that. And if your network needs are quite fluid, that itself is going to be a pain. Zerotier to me looks like that "something inbetween". But I'd be interested in Sam's comments.
I’m sure you have. I think we want to discuss the details or something to bite on than a knee jerk reaction.

I kind of agree with you - build with whatever tools you have. But, we also want to be curious and open minded of other tools that exist.

Sorry for my harsh reply.
This will be standard soon, and is one of many reasons we will always be filmed by several cameras when in public in the future.
Completely agree. Most racism in the USA can be explained by poverty—of which "POC" are disproportionately represented. America's systemic racism is better described as systemic poverty combined abuse of the poor.

I don't plan to compete with those huge services and their catalogues.

Instead, I'm building a platform as a service. My ideal customers will be the software publishers that want to run their own streaming cloud. There's a lot of demand for enterprise solutions that allow you to demo things online. With a regular unlimited demo version, you have the risk of people trying to crack it. If the demo is a streaming service, then you can use everything, but copy nothing.

In essence, a high performance streaming solution is the perfect copy protection for pricey enterprise apps.
Right. Often there are 2 types of interfaces in a project. The first are "natural" interfaces, that you have put some design into and are meant to be reusable. Things like Streams or Collections. When you write a function that uses one of these, you really are expecting to be able to use any implementation. If you want to go to the implementation of Stream.Read, obviously the IDE isn't going to be able to do it, it's abstract and there are any number of implementations.

You get the other kind of interface when you want to loosely-couple your code, and so you define interfaces for many classes. Often, there is only a single class that implements the interface in your project, though there may be mock implementations in your test code. Even though there is a single "real" implementation, the IDE can't/won't jump to that implementation in the same way it won't in the first case. This is frustrating though, because it would have worked if you hadn't extracted the interface for improved testability.
I disagree, docker-compose is just a wrapper around docker. It is in fact just a python package.

The daemon itself is just plain docker.
I feel like this is probably a rare side-effect that people should know about. I hope it doesn't affect many people, and for those it does affect, that the psychosis doesn't turn out like this.
You don't have to, package maintainers and developers do. Flatpak gives them the tools to do this. Flatpak solves a lot of other problems like making program installs a user level task without touching the OS. Which is needed because in the future the OS will be an immutable image.
Also, does this becoming accepted bother anyone else?

"curl -s https://get.docker.com | sudo bash"
> Then most apps have no need to have access to the input system.

I never said as much; I simply said that giving them access to it is tantamount to giving them full access, and that many other such privileges also are.

Eventually, the list is so large that many applications need access to at least one thing from which they may escalate to full access.

> Sandboxing does not mean the OS cannot extend the sandbox on demand in response to user consent.

The point is that as soon as one have given the text editor consent to write to arbitrary text files on the system, one has given it full access as now it can edit the file that contains these permissions.

In the alternative, one has to grant it access to files, or directories, on an individual basis with every save, which is something users will quickly grow tired off, especially if it be configured to periodically save.

> These should be enumerable.

They are, and users will quickly complain that it becomes unworkable to grant access to each of these individually.

> See above for sandbox extensions.

I would also become annoyed very quickly if I had to give permissions again every time I wanted to save elsewhere.

And you didn't address the fact that if he browser have recursive write permissions to the `~/Downloads` folder, it can alter anything that any other application downloaded to it, and thus install whatever malware it wish in there.

What you want can work in theory, but few users would be willing to live with their the extreme reduction in quality of life and productivity, or walled garden that results from it.
This would be even rarer but do you use Chocolatey and/or Brew or similar to install Firefox? That could put you back in the Linux package manger situation where a 3rd party application updates the Firefox binary out from underneath it.
If you truly believe that GameStop is as valuable a company as people say it is then I have a bridge to sell you.
To add to hardware that's being mentioned in this discussion, for reference, I use a 27" 4k monitor (Dell P2715Q) at 1.5x scaling and a laptop with 15" 4k screen (Dell XPS 15 9550) at 2x scaling. Both on Arch, X11, and just a window manager (currently Xmonad, but just before that StumpWM and i3, too). One of the reasons being I prefer to have direct control over Xresources, xinitrc, etc. to set up dpi, color management, etc.
>To limit what malicious software that runs as one's user can do, one must limit what the user can do

This is completely untrue. You can gain root access on Android and have full access to do anything while still keeping applications sandboxed. Limiting user freedoms is simply an extra thing that came with new mobile OSs.
Suppose that there is no need to have in the equation living beings. So you have your von Neumann probes assimilating all the matter in their path into new von Neumann probes, lets call them Borg von Neumann. And they are nodes of a collective /distributed "computing" scheme called Alien Civilization 3.0.

Still you need time to stop, make your conversion, pick next target, accelerate and deaccelerate. And you may be turning everything into nodes, i.e. suns, exoplanets, etc. As we find stars pretty far away and exoplanets in far away solar systems, we are safe for some million years at the very least, even with relativistic speeds.

And still, it is about what we think with the wrong mindset and a lot of unknown unknowns to properly understand the problem. Expanding may be obviously wrong for advanced enough... something.
Yeah, I doubt it'll be solved anytime soon, given how Democrats see it as a way to gain future votes, and corporate Republicans use it to privatize gains and socialize costs. Paying someone under minimum wage while they collect far more in government services than they pay in taxes is a classic example of abusing unpriced externalities.

Taiwan is great! I loved it when I went there.

But this feels like trying to stir up politically trouble. For all practical purpose Taiwan is independent. But yeah 天下大势，合久比分，分久必合。there is no stopping the tide of history. Taiwan is part of the Sino-cultural sphere, more so than Korea and Japan since they even speak the Chinese language. It will be united into one whole China at some point.
You could look for anyone who lied about the short position or spread other misinformation and check if they have a financial interest. These laws aren't unenforceable just because a bunch of people did it on the internet.
No one who understands wayland was under the delusion that wayland would protect against an application which has full access to your user directory. Wayland becomes secure when combined with an application sandbox using SELinux/flatpak. Previously you could sandbox the app and X would provide an escape.

Can anyone answer why python is a choice anymore instead of i.e. golang for saas applications like this? I previously worked heavily with ruby and I cannot imagine building beyond >1000 LoC in interpreted, dynamically typed languages. Aside from developer familiarity which trumps all other points.

It's also significantly easier to dockerize a generated binary from golang or rust, etc. Some of my worst docker headaches have been from trying to debug something like mayan-edbms, which uses python and celery workers.

I just don't get it unless you specifically need some libraries that no other language has.
It seems outposts are more or less priced as 3 year contracts for similar instances (bar some outliers)? Is the author here just outraged over the fact that AWS is charging AWS prices?

The prices in this article don’t seem that crazy to me considering you are already paying them for multiple c5.24XLarge instances.
The Robinhood shenanigans that stopped people from buying GME and allowed selling GME. Melvin Capital claiming they got out of short positions, without any significant changes in short %. The entire financial media propaganda telling people to sell GME. etc.

I didn't say WSB crowd was acting with noble reasons, but they are acting with more than financial interests. If you've read recent WSB posts, lot of the emotional appeal is ideological and class fragmentation, than lolz gainz. And, very few people actually posts in forums, so you have to multiply the sentiment by thousands, if not millions.

The bottom line is the price of GME, it's still above $300. Which everyone knows and agrees is over valued. Why, especially after the turbulent week?
I like the simplicity of the asynchronous tasks. The author mentions it's just a sleep and he isn't kidding: https://github.com/simplecto/screenshots/blob/master/src/sho...

Of course, this only really works when you're not worried about multiple workers for the same "queue", etc.

Still, simplicity is key -- don't build for scale just because you think you might be there in X years. I like your style!

> So he is referring to copyright.

Doctorow is referring to IP, which he explicitly claims is a mix of unrelated terms under an arbitrary umbrella, only one of which is copyright. IP also groups trademarks & patents, which are unrelated to copyright.

He also explains how each part of the so-called IP laws used to have an escape hatch, something that was useful to society at large even though the "owner" would prefer it didn't exist. And how, given the trend towards concentration of money and consolidation of monopolistic actors, these escape hatches are being eroded.

> Books do the same thing, do you find books abusive as well?

There's copyright for books, sure. But nothing else applies. I can resell books. I can quote them (with some restrictions, such as not quoting the entire book). I can lend them to whomever I choose. I can read them upside down. I can cut them up, I can pick a page and analyze its chemical composition. I can do all sorts of things that, when books turn into digital goods, their publishers make an effort to prevent me from doing -- making it effectively and practically illegal to try to bypass their arbitrary restrictions.
In a literal sense, personal experiences (when accurately described) are a proper subset of facts.
The doc told him he wouldn’t continue it because it wasn’t helping outside of the therapy session (and each session was quite expensive).
Assuming the index is priced correctly, the fact that SPY is up 20% means the net present value of future cash flows for the largest companies on the exchange have increased through covid. In and of itself, there’s nothing unethical about that. Unless you’re claiming they’re maliciously profiting off the backs of the unemployed? Would be interested in any evidence of that.

Are you suggesting RH should have only restricted new positions to people that A) hadn’t added new money to their accounts and also B) hadn’t liquidated any other positions in the last 2 days?

I suppose you could make that argument and if you wanted to encode that as law I wouldn’t vote against it, but recognize it’s going to manifest in brokerage behavior where you can’t trade as fast or you have to keep more cash in your brokerage account.

[edit] I’d also love for you to cite what law a casino would be breaking by shutting down a game mid roll because I have no direct experience there but my mental model is that Casinos have wide latitude on allowing the games to run or not.
The short sellers? Who exactly? It's not Melvin. How much are these shorts? Where are you getting your information? Are you really taking financial advice from Reddit trolls and unsourced Tweets? I really want to emphasize how naïve this is.
“People get locked into disorders like depression because they develop this system of thinking which is efficient, but wrong,”

<-- I take some issue with the above statement and I'm very surprised to see it came from a doctor! I'm a neuroscience grad student and would like to do research on psychedelics in the future, therefore this article was an interesting read otherwise. Coincidentally I also suffer from a state of depression, and have been for years. Mostly I can do fine but some times I can't even get out of bed until the evening, and on many nights I wasn't convinced I'd live to see the next day.

The way the sentence above is presented, to me, feels like people suffer from depression just as a result of thinking "wrong". I'm sure your judgement is clouded by such a serious mental condition in some ways. But in others, I like to think that I with my depressive POV might have more realistic view points on some things than an unaffected person. I would hate to not even have this one tiny little advantage from all this, and that in fact I'm not "sadder but wiser" [than some]. Am I wrong?
Also we should teach that these other sources on softer topics are sometimes editorialized...
I don't see any issues using it for many topics, especially in computer-science and hard sciences. But there are biases with some content.
Mine too. My main gripe with object graphs is that often you need to make arbitrary decisions about what comes "first" -- should I represent my customers as a list of `(name, address)` records or a record `(names, addresses)` of lists? This is a silly decision to have to make, and an even sillier one to have to deal with when later you need to transpose the structure to more naturally fit some other task. Relational tables sidestep this issue.

Over the years I've found that these transposition problems are a huge drag on programs, and once you recognize them you start seeing them all over the place. They make simple and obvious relational tasks into dozens of lines of nested data structure traversal and manipulation.

The notion of transposition comes from the array programming world, where a multi-dimensional array/tensor can be seen as a tree structure, whose levels may be easily reordered by transposition. I sometimes use numpy arrays for general-purpose programming; it can be very powerful with a well-chosen representation. Unfortunately array concepts basically require the data to be rectangular -- `x[i]` has the same shape as `x[j]` -- which can be hard to adapt to general problems.

My dream then is a general-purpose data structure that takes the best of both the relational and array-programming worlds: the freedom and flatness of relational tables, enriched with tacit ideas like broadcasting that make array programming so ergonomic.
Your post got me thinking a bit. I see what you mean but I think it’s not the kind of thing the article is talking about. I should point out that I’m assuming conversations here are in the minutes-hours timeframe, not weeks-months timeframes.

My take on this is that it isn’t an issue of whether you can discuss truth or not, but rather if it’s philosophically relevant to the conversation. What I mean by that, and what I think the article means, is that the person isn’t questioning the meaning of truth really but instead avoiding the discussion going really any further by throwing out a catch phrase which is pertinent in a very distant and vague sense, but the person has no real intent to go into it.

It’s sort of seems like a form of “whataboutism” where somebody counters a point by going “Yeah but what about truth?!” It effectively ends the conversation because it’s not a matter of agreeing on the meaning of truth in the context of the discussion, but more of a distraction which can never be fully answered which stalls the original discussion.

Maybe in context those specific definitions do matter and should be stated assumptions, but often I don’t think they are. In addition, it truth or morals can’t be pinned down in centuries of effort, how could they be in these kinds of conversations? I don’t believe they could.
