What is the best example of fine grain permission UX? Everything I’ve seen skews towards this style of overly broad permission. What are good examples that GitHub should learn from?

I really wish more people would understand how such locked down hardware from phones to even tractors is infringing on peoples property rights. Software updates like this show with hard kick who really has the keys to the house. Sadly, I wonder how many people will take this lesson of getting burned and apply it to other devices.
This is apparently an official github page of US Department of Defense! Didn't know they had one.

That said, the project itself seems to miss all the interesting stuff, like hardware to use and system setup instructions.
It is worth being aware that according to the US state department, Russia and possibly other states are currently involved in vaccine disinformation campaigns.

Your mileage may vary but beware anonymous data.
This happened to a coworker of mine during a silent meditation retreat in the woods. He's okay now, I think, but when he broke and turned up at work agitated and babbling about karma, it was quite scary.
This is a little further from the beaten path, but Wireshark, especially with custom per-project plugins, is a complete game changer for network application debugging.
I didn't read the article completely but from my experience the overselling that's typical in the West is a problem here. Meditation (and now psychedelics) are sold as this wonderful cure to all problems. In yoga and meditation classes a lot of people seemed to feel obliged to feel great and spiritual even though they didn't really feel that way. Same probably in 10 day meditation classes. They get thrown into something with little instruction (Goenka's teachers don't really help from my experience) and if you aren't stable I can easily see how problems can arise. I have heard the same about Zen teachers that have breakdowns after 30 years of meditating because they forced something that wasn't there.

After my recent mildly disappointing or sobering experiences with psychedelics I am a little worried about that too. They often are sold as the fix to serious problems and unstable people may get into a bad position when their problems aren't solved but they still pretend that they are doing great.
Hah, I ran into this guy on the support forum thread about this issue: https://github.community/t/why-does-this-forum-need-permissi...

I'm on his side - I think the copy is bad - but he was pretty unhelpful in the thread and ended up getting it locked.

GitHub phrases the permission as something like “This app can view your public email address.”

The “public” there is GitHub distinguishing which of the email addresses associated with your account it is exposing to the app. One of a GitHub account’s email addresses can be set to be publicly shown on your GitHub profile. Other email addresses can also be associated with your account (for login/recovery), but these are private. The permission only allows the app access to the public one, not the private one.

Really, it’s not the “email address” in the grant description that would properly be qualified by “private.” It’s the “your.”

But granting the app permission to know the logged-in GitHub user’s numeric ID, isn’t part of any of the permission scopes, but is instead the base permission the app gets when you click “Accept” on the app binding request. The only thing the “view your email address” permission allows is for the app to look up the primary public email address (if one exists!) for the GitHub account with the ID it now already knows, given a successful OAuth callback.

Technically, just having the GitHub ID is enough to SSO you against GitHub, in the oldschool OpenID sense of SSO (or to track you across the internet.) The implicit default scope of an app grant already breached the privacy of “your.” So the additional permission about emails doesn’t have to qualify anything, because it’s not giving anything still private away. It’s just protecting something actually public from being mapped to from the private credential the app, at that point, already has access to. It’s putting up a roadblock in one direction of a lookup that could be done entirely without the API (by scraping user’s profile pages for internal user IDs + email addresses, and building a table indexed by user ID.)

I hope it's not too political to say, that using tried and true methods is better in an emergency, shouldn't be time for experiments on people. mRNA vaccines seem to be more expensive and harder to store, so what are the benefits? Or who benefits?
I haven't loom at the details, but a free usage tier with relatively low limits so hobbiest can use it would be acceptable. If you're pulling a lot of data out of a project like wikipedia you would at least be paying to keep the servers running.
Going by the complains people on this site have about editing wikipedia, it's not funding that's driving people away, it's the Stack-Overflow-like situation where certain editors are extremely quick to delete content and resist the submission of new content.

Assault of San Francisco Uber Driver
Core chiplets only send signal to I/O die, the distance is measured in mm and the parameters of these wires is tightly controlled by AMD.

I/O die sends signals to the rest of hardware. Wires are way longer, often with multiple connectors in them. I/O chiplet needs to produce and consume more of these milli-amps of electrical current.

One can produce larger transistors with finer processes e.g. by adding more fins to FinFETs, but since they need larger transistors anyway to handle more current, I’m not sure there’s much value in upgrading process of the I/O chiplet.
I’m not sure when the Forestry-GitHub integration came to be but Forestry was launched in 2016 and GitHub Apps was launched in 2017.

Their problem (refined permissions / permission to a single repo) can seemingly be solved by migrating to GitHub Apps but, at the time they launched, there was no way for them to ask for permission to a single repo.

So now there are two problems:
- GitHub Apps is a bit of a mess in terms of user experience from both the product side and user-facing side
- Forestry has probably looked at this problem and said “we will make more money by losing out on customers who don’t sign up due to code access vs spending months refactoring the core concepts of our product”.

Eventually, GitHub will become more strict in OAuth vs GHA and then become more strict with what it allows on its platform (similar to what Google has done with Chrome extensions recently).

But at the end of the day, GitHub probably doesn’t care THAT much. If you don’t agree with the permissions, don’t install the app and/or put pressure on the product to refine their permissions. It’s tough to know the lost revenue due to these issues so give them incentive to change.
I went from the Atari 800 to the 130XE - also had the Indus Disk Drive! That thing was a tank, especially with all the disk-switching that went on in those days.

One of the things I remember most about the Atari 8 bit family was the superior graphics and sound as compared to the early generation of dos-based PCs that came years later. The haunting melody from the splash screen of 7 Cities of Gold was classic. And it still blows me away to see what the Atari 8-bit was capable of with games like Alternate Reality: The City!

I've considered it!

I use an ErgoDox, and there's just enough space in the middle for a numpad.

But I often stick my phone there, and I just don't think I'd use it very often. Technically I can pop up a layer to turn the right side keys into a numpad (advantage of ortholinear) but I don't quite have the muscle memory to really take advantage of it so that's basically wasted.

I've mulled over having a special lighting routine that lights up only those characters, in distinct colors, that would probably get me close enough. But it's just enough hassle that I never get around to it.
That, and human population is still growing, meaning there are more and more humans who need jobs, yet as robots improve, the types of jobs left for humans get fewer. At some point, the lines will cross. Maybe it won't be soon, but if population keeps growing and robots keep being able to do more jobs, then eventually it will happen.
Which process would you rather be put through? Talk to dev manager and team earlier or filtered (and likely lost) in recruitings inbox? Would you rather be contacted by a recruiter? Or contacted by a dev on a team you might work for?

We certainly do both, but the best candidates come from being engaged in our tech communities and sharing our team and roles organically, rather than filtering through lots of resumes after a recruiter spams a bunch of people.

> "We’ve tried socialism."

I don't remember from school the bit where Mr Socialism said "let the workers sieze the means of production so they can shutdown the means of production, because they are lazy and stupid". "define:Socialism"[1] - "Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively". NB. that it involves production, and is /not/ "Systems of social organization in which lazy people get paid for doing nothing".

> "If you tell people they will get $12k no matter how hard they work, they won’t work"

Have you never seen or heard of volunteers? There are countries where the unemployed get money, e.g. the UK, and yet most people still work. How does this fit into your claim?

Maybe people have moved on to wikia (now called fandom) where you can focus on a specific series or topic. The number of users seem to heavily favor fandom too.
The actual money movement “API” is by far the scarier part of this. Any entity you’ve ever paid has your account number, and that’s all they need to pull more money. People talk about this like your online banking password is protecting your money... it’s not. If someone adds an online bill pay recipient from the web portal it triggers loud and slow verifications and confirmations. If someone submits an ACH transaction for my account number in their nightly batch, the money just flies right out.
I haven't done a lot with it, but VMWare Fusion has a `vctl` command you can execute in Terminal:

https://github.com/VMwareFusion/vctl-docs/blob/master/docs/g...

Looks like it supports doing some kubernetes stuff using a `kind` cluster.

I've had pretty good experiences with Fusion, so, yeah, there's some real Docker alternatives up and coming. I think Docker's great, though, and I feel that we'd never have seen a `vctl` on a mac without it's existence.

I, too, clicked through into the comments as soon as I read that bit, wondering whether someone else had the same reaction as me.

As a UK citizen who's lived in the states for the last 4 years, the permissions that Venmo and other financial apps require is even more horrifying than the rest of the US financial system ("tell us what tax you think that you owe, and if you're wrong, you go to prison" // "you have to build up credit in order to be able to afford anything - but if you ever fail to pay it off, you'll be in debt for the rest of your life").
You can be even more ridiculous:

char ds[5];
char * words[4] = {ds, "Fizz\n", "Buzz\n", "FizzBuzz\n"};
for (i = 1; i < 101; ++i) {
sprintf(ds, "%d\\n", i)
printf(words[((i*i*i*i)%15)/4]);
}
I’m glad that you’ve come to the conclusion that if you did get COVID that actually you’d be fine so it doesn’t matter.

You might be right. You very well could be wrong. There are plenty of people who thought they’d be fine or it didn’t even exist and a non-trivial number of them are dead now.

This is a backwards argument and doesn’t stand up to basic logical scrutiny. You’re inventing the numbers and deciding based on the numbers you’ve come up with the conclusion.

That’s your prerogative but let’s be clear that you’re not basing this math on anything other than your gut feelings.
I would say that meditation is fine, cults are bad.

It isn't easy to sit and be still, everyone who tried will tell you, you will find any kind of excuse to not do it. However if you endure it and spend some time meditating, it will indeed bring perspective and clarity in your mind.

These kinds of retreats are stupid... For number of reasons. Also 'apps for meditation' are extra stupid, except maybe Oak because it is just a timer, so it actually serves a purpose. If you really want to meditate, just sit and relax. OK maybe I was too hard on every kind of retreat, but overall they tend to be profitable endevours.

Because your mind will be maleable, cults love to exploit this state to program you and indoctrinate you.

Also... what happened to this girl is known fenomenon. It usually helps if somebody can tell you in advance it would happen. As I read article, they loaded her with drugs afterwards, not sure which is worse.

Again, cults = bad, you have everything you need to be happy.
You are right to criticize me. I think that statement was too strong, and should be weakened to

> using one's native accent on TV for certain programs when they are perfectly capable of speaking in a more standard accent

Thankfully, you are asking only for me to show that it is possible.

If:

* You are as fluent in a standard accent and dialect as in your local accent and dialect

* You know that using your local accent and dialect can cause intelligibility problems with a far greater part of your audience than using a standard accent and dialect

* You are communicating something to your audience

* You have an ethical duty to communicate to as much of your audience as possible

* You don't care that you may not be communicating the important information because your audience doesn't understand your accent well

* You are aware of the above

* And consequently choose to use your native accent, with all other things being equal

Then it is supremacist, because you favor a smaller group of your audience that understands your accent when there is an ethical duty to communicate to as much of your audience as possible.

Of course, much of what appears on TV is rarely important, but for business reasons you already see this: news tends to use a more standard accent for their audience and more informal programs have more diversity (and often in the latter the accents are an important aspect of what is being communicated as the utterances they are a vehicle for).
I'll give System76 (and their hardware partner) this: They're getting closer to something I'd buy.

This looks like a good option for a 15.6" laptop.

My issue with it is that they're still shipping with those barrel plugs AC adapters, and don't appear to support USB-PD for charging on the USB-C ports.

The lack of Australian support also makes it a difficult purchase - a former colleague bought a System76 laptop a few years back and it died a few months after purchase. Having to ship it back to the US, and the associated delays means having to buy a second laptop to continue working while it's being repaired.

The Timex Sinclair was my first computer. Getting an Atari 8-bit a couple years later seemed like (and was) a massive upgrade. Every time I hear kids complain about load times I think about spending an hour trying to load a text game from a cassette drive only to have it freeze up and being forced to start over.
> Like someone else said, distributing work across multiple machines is a form of horizontal scaling.

Sure, but it is the easy kind, when it comes to images or videos. Lambda, for example, can handle a huge amount of image processing for pennies per month and there is none of the additional machine baggage that comes with traditional horizontal scaling.
Agreed, although on that front it completely baffles me that they didn't release a Magic Keyboard Pro with TouchID and Touch Bar at most one release cycle after throwing the Touch Bar into laptops.

I find them completely useless and am ready for them to be gone, but it's like they didn't even try.
That doesn't seem true. Picketey's (probably misspelled) "capital in the 21st century" has a compelling argument for exactly this kind of tax. And my realization that I can't see it implemented ever, is about as chilling to me as climate change in terms of a real existential threat that we as humans see coming but will be unable to stop, because it requires cooperation that seems impossible.

The basic argument is, I'm hoping I'm getting this right:
The return of capital far outstrips return of labour, that difference (if above a certain percentage) is a transfer of wealth from labourers to the capitalists. Return of labour is basically GPD growth, return of capital is income from rent/investment/interest and all of that.

This increases inequality over time leads to destabilization of society, I'd argue you can see that in the USA quite well. And starts happening in rest of Europe more slowly (not quite as capitalistic as the USA but heading there nevertheless). Wealth building for the bottom 50% is extremely difficult (house prices for example)

2.5% is a significant percentage, but rate of return is around 5% or thereabouts, basically a 50% tax if you make the average and continue investing (i.e. it's presumably useful to society). Once you "sit on your money", it would reduce the wealth slowly (no longer useful to society). I.e. if you keep investing, the government will still have less wealth than the capitalists no matter how long you do it. It won't be as a significant increase in national budgets as one may assume.

Also, "government owning things", the idea is that that money is redistributed to the people via benefits (unemployment, education, health care, ubi etc).
Yes, as a contributor or member of a few different technical groups with GitHub organizations, I feel the same way. Those groups don’t want me using app X on their repos, and neither do I!
Nothing definitive. After 1 week I managed to achieve life-time high score in focus and short-term memory task (my previous high-score was from Uni while studying Physics), but I'm susceptible to placebo so I can't rule out that effect.

I feel like I have less "brain-fog" or rather, brain-fog induced procrastination though. But taking this coincided with a less-stressful time of my life so It might be related to both.
There is no mandatory vaccine policy in the US. Where are are there?
The way it most likely works is there is a Falcon microprocessor with a cryptographic coprocessor built into everything post-Maxwell. Nvidia burns in keys during manufacture that the cryptographic coprocessor will use to calculate a signature of the firmware loaded in by the driver against. Since Nvidia/the manufacturer have that key, they can sign firmware that can access the most important, impactful API calls on the card. Likely, the hashrate limiter was intended to be implemented in the firmware.

This is the same thing that has thwarted Nouveau all these years, and if you don't screw up your driver releaselike they did, it is quite effective. You could write your own firmware and load it onto the card, but you can't access the Hi-Security API's like power management, reclocking.

There's no network connection, so if the OEM's key was ever leaked, there's nothing they could do prevent anyone from writing whatever firmware they wished. Just as they can't take back the driver they done goofed releasing.
And also a lot of info is publicly available on the website but you still need an API token to access it programmatically. You could scrape it, sure, but that is not officially supported.
What in the heck is an indie-intellectual?
You want to restrict Apple's right to sell a limited computing device. I would argue that you are infringing on their freedom.
