That's a very fair argument :)

And maybe one day it will be time to do away with it.. but it does have a cuteness factor to it.

And politicians are unlikely to want to burn political capital doing away with a popular cultural institution.

So as long as they behave, remain popular, I doubt the monarchy will go away.
> Gualtieri told the media that someone (they don’t know who yet) remotely accessed a computer for the city’s water treatment system (using Teamviewer)

You can't just hack Teamviewer.

Possible by a national actor, not from a script kiddie.

National actor is obviously not going to change to a value that sounds dangerous but will be quickly found and does nothing.

So it's a insider job, I'd wouldn't rule out someone sat on a keyboard. I'd even put it out there perhaps no one remoted in.
AFAIK, the fear was that people would implement proprietary plugins for GCC and not upstream their changes and improvements. The classic Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish. Emacs modules were delayed for a long time for the same reason, RMS only approved them on the condition that they export GPL symbols.

LLVM has changed the situation quite a bit though. GCC could make itself easier to hack on but it might be too late.
This article doesn't touch on it, but there's also a scientific reason to keep them around — they replace similar North American megafauna which was wiped out at the end of the last ice age, likely because of human predation. For example, Giant Ground Sloths actually filled a pretty similar niche to the hippos, but were likely hunted to extinction.

15,000 years seems long, but isn't actually long in biological terms. The Amazon could almost certainly support some megafauna grazers without significant negative impact.
It’s been years. With that said Reddit’s UX is /terrible,/ a subtle touch to the navbar scrolls to the top of the page which is a daily frustration when reading comments halfway down a huge page on my tablet. Videos on their site is another one, it doesn’t matter if I mute them when I scroll down and back up it unmutes. I wish their was an alternative I would love to never use Reddit again at this point, but all my obscure communities for TV shows, movies and stock trading are on there.
I found that switching to a 40% actually caused me to use a wider variety of "keys" then with the 105-key that I switched from. The ability to control which keys go where in the firmware opens a lot of doors.

For instance, I made a "nav" layer and put the arrowkeys under hjkl because I'm a vim person, and then I put Home, PgUp, PgDn, End under "nm,." because it made sense to me geometrically, and now I use those keys all the time.

Or another one: I brought "Insert" to mirror "Tab" and configured my zsh to do bash-style tab completion on "tab" and to autocomplete from history on "insert". Who the hell uses insert regularly? Me apparently.

Rewiring my brain took some doing, but I'm quite happy with the results.
I'm pretty sure that's part of the satire
The "v" is confusing - the 3DS used ARM11 and ARM9E core designs, which implemented the ARMv6 and ARMv5 ISAs respectively.
Yes, ortholinear laptop keyboard would be the dream! I doubt it's ever going to happen, though.
This was touched upon - the point is that XMPP's extensibility means we aren't "stuck at the lowest common denominator".

One of the burdens of the ecosystem, for example, is Pidgin. I don't want to pick on the project too hard, I know they're working on various things including a big refactor for Pidgin 3.0. But the reality is that Pidgin has implemented few (if any) of the XMPP features introduced in the past decade. Yet it's still an amazingly popular client.

That means the experience for Pidgin users is getting progressively worse as the rest of the XMPP ecosystem moves on, but we don't add new features to XMPP and think "but no, because Pidgin!". We do consider backwards compatibility in general. And while it's surely slower and more effort than just rolling out an update to a single app on the app store, it's not "stuck".

I appreciate the path Signal took (possibly more than many in the decentralized protocol communities), but simply believe that what was lost in pursuing a centralized model is not something I'm okay with losing.
But you’re forgetting second order damage. What if somebody takes out a large enough fraction of power plants in the middle of winter? Or in the middle of a heat wave in Texas? Casualties could be rather significant if the plants can’t be restored in time.
This happens all the time. You have to watch out for liquidation preferences. Anything over 1X these days means stay away. It completely changes the calculus of whether or not it’s worth it to exercise your options. And if the company isn’t forthright about it, then leave or don’t join.
XMPP has far better clients (at least on Desktop) available than Matrix for me.
The problem is not necessarily to be fast for me (I know people who are very fast with the combo mouse / keyboard) but more if you like it. If you don't enjoy working with your tools, you'll have a lot of friction to do your work.

I'm not sure everybody would like a development environment as I describe it, that's why I invite people to try Vim for example for a couple of week (I've some free articles on my blog about that) or i3, and see what they think about it. Exploring new possibilities is never bad.

About learning the tools: I agree, but you can learn much more from some tools than others. I think of Vim as easy to learn, hard to master because there is so many stuff you can do with it. But I used Intellij IDEs as well for a long time, and I don't think it's hard to master, because there's not so much you can master, except maybe the keyboard shortcuts.
> Why are so many keyboards tiny like this? If I want a small keyboard, I will just use a laptop.

That makes absolutely no sense. Your choice of keyboard should not come attached to a monitor.

Furthermore, laptop keyboards are notoriously unmaintainable and uncleanable.

If all you want is to be able to use a nice keyboard that doesn't take over half your desk space, specially if it's already cramped, then this is the stuff you crave.
Massive popularity of Indian accounting software tally is because of mouse-less handling of the whole interface. Mouse uses three organs while keyboard uses only one.
I avoided "local" because the name could technically be claimed by both types: "It's called -local- because it's local to a particular zone" vs "It's called -local- because it's local to my current (local) zone."

So I went with floating vs fixed because it feels less prone to ambiguity. "Fixed" is fixed to a particular zone, and "floating" floats along with me as my current zone changes.
I assume the suitable alternatives are not cheaper
>> They don't need to update their privacy policy because they never have access to the profil information.

irrelevant. Their policy states that their software is "designed to never collect or store any sensitive information." when in fact, it does. Where and how they store the sensitive information they are collecting is entirely beside the point. Assumptions about what people may or may not think that means don't really matter. As written it's a very straightforward and 100% false statement.

> The only difference is that messages are deleted afterwards whereas your profile is stored permanently until you decide to change it. That doesn't make the profile information any less secure, though.

Yes it does. Regardless of the fact that it's encrypted, it isn't as secure as you might think. See this thread for details: https://community.signalusers.org/t/proper-secure-value-secu...

> After all, tomorrow Signal could get convinced by an intelligence agency to permanently store all your encrypted messages from now on and then the exact same risks of AES-256 getting broken would apply.

Funny you should mention that because it turns out the Signal was handed a subpoena back in 2016 demanding that they hand over subscriber's names, phone numbers, and contacts. At the time, they were very proud to say they told them "Too bad, we don't have any of that data". In their own words:

"We’ve designed the Signal service to minimize the data we retain about Signal users, so the only information we can produce in response to a request like this is the date and time a user registered with Signal and the last date of a user’s connectivity to the Signal service."

"Notably, things we don’t have stored include anything about a user’s contacts (such as the contacts themselves, a hash of the contacts, any other derivative contact information), anything about a user’s groups (such as how many groups a user is in, which groups a user is in, the membership lists of a user’s groups), or any records of who a user has been communicating with."

Today, they are collecting and storing exactly that data. User's names, photos, numbers, and contacts. Yes, it's encrypted, but that's when they pull out something like this: https://community.signalusers.org/t/sgx-cacheout-sgaxe-attac... assuming they haven't forced Intel to leave a backdoor for them already or they don't want to take the time to brute force a pin.
Ah yes, the one about mutable default arguments was a real
surprise for me once in a debugging session. Python only
initialising them once during the whole script runtime is not
exactly the behaviour anyone would expect.

> I never got the hate of mouse in the dev community. Isn’t most of work browsing code and Googling things?

So, for example, I use a plugin called Tridactyl in Firefox. It allows me to select any link, any button, or enter any text box in just a few keystrokes. I hit one key to tell it "I want to click something", essentially, at which point it highlights the links & assigns them letters; then I type the letters corresponding to my choice. It's competitive with the mouse.

Firefox isn't too bad without extensions, either, since it has the ' key. (Find, but restricted to links. So, ' + type the link text until match + Enter.)

My work keyboard also has keycombos that I can turn a few of the keys into a crude mouse, but it is so slow that it's usually not worth it.
True but and if it had a clear pricing model it would be fine. Unfortunately Oracle's pricing is closer to extortion. If you're already under their boot it's fine I guess, but anyone not under it is crazy to volunteer to do so.
I hesitate to label it the equity/social justice movement itself. I mean, we should be striving for these goals.

I would argue, rather that the country seems to have been stuck in a place of frustration similar to when a child gets frustrated with a puzzle and sits down and starts sobbing.

A good parent sits down, and patiently says 'Ok, you're stuck, but that's ok sometimes we get stuck. Let's come up with a plan and keep trying and we'll get there.'

As a society (on both sides of the aisle) we have been in the position of the child. Frustrated, helpless, and projecting our frustration in emotional outbursts.

And instead of a patient leader coaching us to become better and work through our problems, we've had our leaders egging-on the sobbing. 'This puzzle isn't fair. It was designed to not be fair to you in particular.'

And so the country's sobbing became worse and worse.

But, things have been remarkably quiet in the past month, and our current leaders (whether or not I agree with their policies) seem to be setting an example by working quietly and patiently. Maybe the sobbing will subside, and we just might get a chance to start moving forward without constantly being distracted by each side's emotional outbursts and frustration.

In the past few years we've nearly solved protein folding, developed a novel vaccine technology, watched the lightning-pace of private space-tech, and a bunch of other cool stuff I'm sure I've missed. Imagine how much cool stuff we'll be able to accomplish when our leaders aren't constantly pitting us against each other for cheap political points.

Oh, I'm totally aware of technical debt, etc. I have worked on both maintaining and rewriting a number of such enterprise apps myself. It is just in this case, if the revenue WAS ever at risk (don't forget we are talking billions here), then you would need to be a bungling idiot to not fix the issue at hand before embarking on a rewrite.

Personally, I think the article is a dramatisation - I would certainly be too embarrassed to write such a thing if it were true.

Such vast, paved, surface-level parking lots are a distinctively American thing.

In Europe, for example, you’re much more likely to find covered, multi-level parking structures once a parking lot exceeds a given size.

All of such heating that occurs instead of using the power to drive a heat pump is at a net cost to society. Even in Iceland, generating power instead of piping the heat directly to the building is an expense.

What’s hilarious about this argument is that people with an axe to grind with cryptocurrency suddenly become hyper-libertarians. They criticize its waste and inefficiency, while lauding fiat currency backed by the state, with all its largesse, as a paragon of efficiency. It’s sour grapes disguised as moral righteousness.
Not only that. Where would the material used instead of this plastic come from?
I'm not confusing cause and effect.

Large cap stocks weren't engineered for stability, but they're lower tail-risk than mid cap stocks, which are lower tail-risk than small cap stocks, and so on.

The same phenomenon has been broadly true across all markets over all of human history, and the underlying mechanism (heterogeneous flows) is well understood and rather intuitive.

Whether or not BTC adoption increases is not relevant to what I was saying. My only claim is that volatility will decrease if adoption increases, counter to the misplaced scepticism of the post I was replying to

If BTC adoption decreases instead, then volatility should increase, ceteris paribus.
As a fellow retrocomputing enthusiast: vintage computers are most interesting when they're running appropriate period software (e.g. OpenVMS or early Windows NT on Alpha, HP-UX on HPPA, and a variety of manufacturer-specific OSes on 680x0). Running a modern Linux on them feels like a bit of a waste -- sure, it works, but a lot of what made those systems interesting is lost.
Sorry to hear that you got nothing for your hard work. But this happens more often than you think. What this means is that people who can scuttle the possibility of investors getting their money out are getting paid to essentially go away and not jeopardize the deal. Investors were getting 1x liquidation preferences in the investing frenzy of the time, so it is entirely possible some of them also have gotten screwed (LPs are generally kept confidential).

Clearly preferred stockholders are the ones who are getting their money out of the pot, leaving nothing for people who can't hinder that in some way (i.e., non-executive rank-and-file employees).
> By the way to just open a single channel for everyone on earth today and close it will take about 70 years, so right around the year 3000 if you (very optimistically) factor in births and deaths.

LOL. Nice. I like it even better than my other favorite example, that issuing a paycheck in Bitcoin to the 125 million full time employees in the US would take about a year to process.
> But let's be clear: nobody thought that literally every program written with Ruby would be three times faster. In fact, that's completely impossible.

Let's be clearer: some people will have thought that.

Techie: Here is my business case for moving some stuff to Rust/Go

Approver: But one of the Devs said Ruby 3 will be 3 times faster.

Techie: It's more complicated than that, for these eight reasons.

Approver: But still. 3 times.
I agree, I'd love to be able to explicitly annotate a certain function for pre-optimization even if there was some initialization cost but that would also guarantee its performance throughout the app's lifetime. I'm not sure if that can be achieved with the dynamic nature of JS. Anecdotally also, in my benchmarks what I observe is that you get optimizations only for things that run consecutively i.e in a loop. When you switch to other paths and return it treats it like a cold path all over again. So when you're switching paths very often you may never get any optimization benefits and then the only option, at least for now, is to use WASM.

Also, all of this without ever mentioning GC, which is extremely hard to avoid using vanilla JS and will certainly cause hiccups.

I also agree that tooling around WASM could be improved but we should give it some time given that it's a fairly new thing (I think it's less than a decade even if you include asm.js). I believe it will become relevant not necessarily because it can run on the web, but because of the feature that it's a sandboxed target environment that is extremely portable. WASM runs almost everywhere already and I think that's it's main winning point and not so much the browser side.
The Google apps function like a security key. I pay Google too much every month for Youtube TV that I don't watch, and at this point isn't a bargain compared to restoring television service to the Comcast plan I need anyway for internet access.

When users access many types of paid subscription accounts, they are asked to confirm the login in a Google app on their mobile device. It's dangerous if vulnerabilities aren't being fixed and their servers still trust these apps to authenticate.

On another note, over the past year a few people have told me their new email addresses, then they continued using Gmail out of inertia. A significant enough problem with their aging apps could be the event that gets users to follow through and make a transition away from using Google services as a default.
Sure, but a child often can't or doesn't know how to discover things that aren't in their immediate environment. A parent's job is not to force them to like particular things, but to expose them to things that they may be interested in. A curator if you will. A curator has a very important job, and the things that are left out can be just as important as the things that are included.
You probably want to talk to a lawyer.

The executives have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of shareholders. That means you. What that means in an acquisition can vary a lot depending on the specific details of the deal.

This is the extent of my legal knowledge on the subject, which is why you need to talk to a lawyer. The likely result of this avenue depends a lot on the amount at stake - if you paid like $5k to exercise, you probably pay the lawyer hundreds of dollars to send a letter and then negotiate a settlement that pays you 4 or 5 figures, avoiding the expense and risk of a lawsuit on both sides. Assuming of course, that you're already a former employee - current employees can and should have negotiated waiving their shareholder rights as part of the acquisition deal, assuming that their expertise is part of how the acquiring company is valuing the deal.
This is my main grip with YC touting startups as a great place to join, but not helping them negotiating fair equity. Yes, founders deserve credit because they took risk, but they need to spread the wealth for execution. It should almost be illegal to give employees such low equity, relative to what founders get.
This is normal, and happens a bunch when founders over-raise. A somewhat canonical example is FanDuel selling for >$1B and the founders getting zero.

As far as the motive/"is it right": I'm going to take a somewhat contrarian viewpoint than those presented so far, having seen this happen on both sides of table in my life.

In my experience, and in most cases, the founders aren't necessarily doing anything shitty or sociopathic. They likely raised more than they needed at a higher valuation than was deserved -- for perfectly normal reasons, such as a frothy market or the simple fact that in startupland raising money is considered a win itself -- and it caused a set of benchmarks that ultimately became impossible to overcome and thus the common stock became worthless.

Transaction happens, founders are considered key to the successful merger and the acquiring company worries that the merger won't be fruitful if they bail so they receive some compensation as a sign-on bonus and/or an earnout.

If you want to argue that early-employee non-founders get disproportionately screwed in regards to their sweat equity vs. actual equity, you're absolutely right but that's a different argument altogether.
