I've seen this movie so often I know all the lines. They come in and either buy out or leverage a mod, who brings in their cronies, some of whom also become mods.

They then begin banning content/users who don't align with their plan.

I've seen this go several ways. They either take over and use the sub for whatever, or tank the sub/message/whatever.

It's always incredibly frustrating seeing it from the inside. I've seen this firsthand done in personal life, business, online, everywhere. No aspect of existence has this shit not eroded.

The fact that we all just accept this as status quo is mind blowing. It's like rotten politicians in every movie. Why do we accept it?

FWIW I left reddit years ago after seeing exactly this happen to several subs.
There is some math on the Internet that's commonly linked. With some super pessimistic assumptions, it shows Starlink just barely breaking even (aka, not losing money, but not making much either). Most of those assumptions have already been proven to be false. Doing the math with less pessimistic assumptions shows it to be insanely profitable. I'd do it here, but this has already dropped off the front page so nobody will see it.
To throw on the anecdote pile... my brother was committed due to overreaction of an LSD trip. He had been up for days and was almost incoherent after being brought in to the emergency room by the police. They said it would be 2 days, then 5 days, then another week. I called and told them that his insurance had contacted me and said they weren't going to be paying for any additional time. He was released the same day.

Presumably these people are hooked up to the electrical grid, and if that is the case why isn't that equally uneconomical? Do they have phone lines?

Having people hooked up to fiber or at least DSL is in my experience often mostly a political issue.

So, your suggested alternative to avoid data monopolization is to use a FAANG (with a worse product)? I accept that those are alternatives, but no thanks.

No. MacPorts is so much better nowadays.
I'm slightly confused by this wording in the docs: "This allows it to reload code that is followed by blocking instructions such as the infinite loops you can find in the examples."

The examples just have loops where the reloaded function is called in a loop. Is this just updating the definition of the function between calls?
Don't have a ton of experience with either macports or homebrew but pretty much any package manager deals with running multiple different versions at the same time, or projects using different versions of the same dependency, without getting in your way. Biggest/most famous example I guess would be javascript/npm/npm inc registry.

With the current regulations in place, it's definitely possible that regulated drugs have killed more people than unregulated drugs.

Would that still be the case without any regulation? All the regulations do is ensure that products intended for pharmaceutical use have a certain level of evidence of safety and efficacy.

It doesn't mean that unregulated products are unsafe or do not have a positive effect on health, it just means that one cannot sell them or market them as something that can cure disease.

Keep in mind that even with this regulation in place, people still try to sell things like the MMS [0], which the FDA warns against consuming [1].

While regulation isn't perfect, in this case I'd argue that it's a net benefit, all things considered. It's not perfect, but it's better than having no regulation in place.

That would be nice if phones were open and free, but they aren't. For many, especially in developing nations, the phone is the way to access the internet. If Google/Apple wouldn't have such a stranglehold on the world of mobile phones, people would be free to choose which app repo they use or which apps they sideload. But sadly, they are not.
The way the fraud works is different. In the US it is their insurance is good, keep them in. In Portugal everyone has the same insurance so it is keep our faucility as full as possible, only releasing just enough people to make it appear like we are doing something.

I have no idea what fraud occurs. In either system. I know enough humans to know that some are honest and some are not. Thus if it is possible to get away with fraud odds are someone is.
Yes, we keep saying this. But the alternative is right in front of us... it is the open Web and related technologies.

If someone was hosting a website outside of Pakistan, it would be much harder to take down than just petitioning Google or Apple.

Wordpress powers 40% of all such websites. But for Web 2.0 where are the open source alternatives? Discourse? We need something that can handle chatrooms, videoconferencing and more, and can be hosted anywhere.

All around the world, we need such web based tools.
Masks and vaults: how anonymity overshadows real online privacy
I never said it was a good idea. I said Pakistan's territory is their sovereign land, and they get to decide how things work within that territory accordingly. Whether anyone likes it or not.

There are a lot of really bad nations and a lot of really, really bad laws out there. What's the plan for all of that? Because the Internet is a tiny little fraction of that problem and it's tied up in the fact that people outside of a nation generally don't get to dictate what happens inside of that nations, that goes for trade / culture / laws / religion / et al.

Is the problem Pakistan's culture? Government? Religion? What's the plan for dealing with the first order problem there, given the restrictions on the Internet are distant down the line from that. Bar Pakistan from dictating their own culture? Invade Pakistan and re-orient their government?

I don't expect anyone will dare to go anywhere near any of this intellectually. The easy thing is to just say: but Pakistan shouldn't do a thing regarding the Internet. Cool, now what? You've said it, now what do you plan to do about the way the nation of Pakistan operates, because that's actually the central matter here. They are de facto the gatekeeper for the Internet within their sovereign territory, period. See: China and how they operate the Internet within their territory. Would anyone confuse whether China is the gatekeeper there? Of course not.

An extension of all of this is: companies and individuals should never trade with bad nations, because they have to comply with local laws to do so typically (and that can facilitate oppression and tyranny in such nations). That's identical to Google & Co. complying with what Pakistan tells them to, in order to operate within Pakistan's sovereign territory. So, what's a bad nation? Which ones go on the list? What kind of trade is acceptable? Who decides that? More fun.

>This kind of thinking can be a problem. Spending outsized effort on unproven theories. Would it really have a serious impact if the shutters were bad?

Yes, because if he felt the same about other things ("woult it really have a serious impact if this/that") he'd have built worse or more-samey to other OEMs products.

So, it's not like you can have some precise cut-off point to stop caring, where the faulty systems in the keynote don't matter, but some other aspect of the product does.

If he ended up only caring for functionality, high impact, aspects of the products, it wouldn't be the same products.

And if the Keynotes didn't have such high production value demands, they wouldn't been as good.

It's not a binary issue (stop being too demanding and start being ok with good enough).

It's "where to put the cutoff point" in a sorite range (human caring).
Isn't this the point where the entire sub just moves to something like /r/realwallstreetbets or something other similarly named subreddit?
That's true, but including the very latest research isn't really what encyclopedias are for—there are other places for that.
The last couple of years at least you could watch live streams during it, and recorded sessions after.

A lot of the fun is in the hallway conversations etc though, so would still recommend attending if you can at some point in the future
It’s possible to set `HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE` and `HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS` to somewhat alleviate this.

Yeah, the app store has become a source of a lot of controversy around policies, so signing up for more public criticism of how they handle a package manager is probably a headache they don't need.
>it can use localhost which is realistically as efficient as domain socket but is more flexible.

Actually, Unix domain sockets are substantially more flexible than localhost. For exampe, Unix domain sockets have filesystem-based access controls, they can have meaningful paths instead of magic numbers, and they are trivially used across different containers (just bind mount the socket file in to whatever container, just like any other file).
I'm not an amazing presenter, but I think I'm ok. People ask me how do I approach giving a talk, etc. I tell them, "It's a performance. You are telling a story. There is emotion involved, both with you and them." People always look at me in bewilderment and never seem to get the fact that a great presentation is really not about the information. No one ever said, "You know what would take this presentation to the next level? Another product shot of Gmail."

> How do you think my silicon valley co-workers would look at me if they knew the truth of the things we did, and continue to do, in their name, despite what R or D prepends some puppet presidents name at the time?

I'm entirely comfortable with this knowledge. The only frustration is the communications barrier with the vast majority of people who think the two party kabuki theater they see on their propaganda of choice is in any way representative of how the US empire is actually run. If anything, I find it comforting because it makes it easy to ignore the now transparent emotional manipulations of those mainstream propagandists.

Edit: To be explicit, primary sources are the only ones that I believe have even a chance of not being thoroughly manipulated to achieve some contrived political end. Individual primary sources still have agendas, but often that agenda is simply to relay their experiences, or if they are attempting to be manipulative they aren't nearly as good at it as professional propagandists.
One could say Homebrew is successful despite Apple not trying to even mention their name, even less help them be successful. Many groups also look at successful groups and think "How can we make them more successful?" but don't think that's in Apples DNA.

Or perhaps "just" the wisdom to understand that organisations need a change in leadership from time to time, and that such change is best made (as stated) at a time when the organisation is strong and the pressures low. Every leader eventually runs out of steam.

My own opinion is that leaders ought to pre-announce their resignation date on the day they take the job in the first place, and that date should be not more than 5 years after they start. Five years on and you're running on empty. Time to move on.
True, I really should focus more on chemistry/biology related tech startups. I've not been facing rejections for long thankfully, but I don't want to get to that point.

We also use these displays in slot machines, where a long, skinny touch screen replaces the old physical button deck.
Sure those big routers are costly but they're maybe the cost of a dozen satellites and serve half the total constellation size. Buried infrastructure has a 20-30 year guaranteed lifespan if built with fibre. Routers tend to last 10 years minimum. The opex cost of constantly replacing satellites is going to be pretty substantial.

Also Starlink doesn't have last mile costs as such (they just push that to the consumer) but they do have ground station requirements which will grow linearly with demand. It'll be interesting to see how they manage that as they grow. And of course, they're going to need those big routers too...
Don't Believe the Hype About Hypersonic Missiles
Homebrew is what a package manager would look like if Apple was doing it.

So quite limited in scope and not much configurable options and if you say that you need some features, they'll tell you you're doing it wrong.

It is quite easy to install though and has a lot of packages but if you have specific needs that are unmet, you are on your own.

It's more of a update manager than a true package manager.
They've demonstrated 650Mbps connections between Starlink and a jet plane. Sailboat & wave motion will be trivial in comparison.
Yep :-) When I went last year I decided to just pretty much camp out in specific dev rooms and that worked a lot better. It had grown to a point where trying to flit from room to room was pretty much an exercise in frustration.

All things that you have mentioned are supported. That said, I'm working on a guide for writing backends, while it won't directly address this kind of questions, it should give at least some picture of features used by project.

I don't understand if there are implications to upgrading to homebrew 3.0 for me a lowly user. Will things break? Will I lose access to formulae that haven't yet been upgraded to work with brew 3.0?

Should I upgrade right away or hold off for a while? Which is least likely to interupt my workflow in which I count on brew just working?
Few years back, I did something similar to this with PHP.

I was always marveled at the capacities of xDebug, and never stopped using it since I found it (Some 10+ years), and honestly, coupling it with PHPStorm is another level.

But still, hitting reload on the browser, or running a script from the CLI gets tiring after the 20th time; so I made this little class where you would call a method, and the method will reload the script where the code was located continuously until I managed to get it to do what I wanted.

It was very Johnny Mnemonic, but it worked.
I wonder if it would be feasible for e.g. Canonical to offer a free, hosted implementation of the Sync servers.

The protocol is openly documented afaik, and there might already be efforts to implement an open server. It also has e2ee built-in.

Of course then you might as well go off and use Firefox, Brave or Vivaldi, but it'd be an option nonetheless, if not quite an expensive one.

>Was every case justified as 'something very important at Apple will crack if I'm not all over this employee'?

Does every case have to be justified? Perhaps without the overall "pressure" climate they wouldn't get as good results.

Almost any company exec, even one phoning it in most of the time, would be all over an employee if "something very important at the company would crack" otherwise.

But doing it for small, medium issues too (not just "company on the line" ones), helps maintain the pressure climate better than just flipping off when there's something very very serious.
Is it wrong to demand features in open-source projects?
If internet services in general were less centralised, Pakistan's sovereign power would remain unchanged but its ability to wield that power against its citizens might be reduced. Pakistan might be able to get you kicked off the App Store but I doubt it can get you kicked off F-Droid

Of course, a nation state that's truly committed to the warpath can always escalate and ban more stuff, but that's a costly activity and there's a lot of friction associated with doing so
To add a data point, that's basically one of the roles of firefighters in France. You can learn a bit more in here [1]. The highlights: " In addition to providing fire protection and rescue, the French fire service is also one of the providers of emergency medical services.", and "As of December 2015, there were 246,900 firefighters in France [with] 78% voluntary/call firefighters."

(How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (In Python))
Ha, I'm just working on integrating the `pydev.debugger` code reloading into `debugpy` (so that the code reloading from the PyDev debugger will be available for Python-VSCode debugger users too).

The in-memory reloading (which may be seen at: https://github.com/fabioz/PyDev.Debugger/blob/main/_pydevd_b...) unfortunately doesn't work all the time (fixing the references at runtime in Python is difficult), but it works well enough for the cases where you have a simple function and change it (that file does explain some of the issues that the reloading faces).

One major issue is that after doing the reload, you need to get out of the function and then back into it to see the difference -- so, if you're stopped in the function in a breakpoint, it's not possible to simply drop the function and restart it as Python itself doesn't support that... maybe that's a good idea for a PEP ;)

Anyways, when it works, it's pretty nice in that you don't have to restart your whole debug session to see changes (the other approach, which webservers use in general is just restart the whole process, so, for instance, Django has an initial process just monitoring for changes and a 2nd process which is actually serving requests which is restarted when something changes -- not as good if you have a heavy startup or are working with something where you have to click through multiple things to get to the state which you want).
And how can they be properly informed of the risks without empirical data from trials? Regulations exist to prevent malicious sellers from taking advantage of sick patients, who are making decisions under duress, about things way more complex than they can handle.

I realize it sounds paternalistic, and I can appreciate your point about giving people freedom to make the choice, but sometimes it’s not really a choice in the true sense you describe (no pressures from failing health; proper time to research everything; ability to weigh benefits and risks correctly).
