Was about to say, either doc registry, or library catalog.

That's the neat thing about consistent search indexing that isn't being maliciously subverted or tweaked. Once a "good enough" structure is achieved, genearally someone can quickly find their way around. I call it the Librarian effect. I first grokked it's impact when I'd volunter to reshelve books in the library. Given a relatively ordered cart of books to put back on shelves, and an arbitrary starting point in the library to begin restacking (imagine going to the bathroom and some student comes and moves your cart on you), once you've done it a few times, you can usually unconsciously navigate the entire data store.

Compare this to most Search Engines, Reddit, or most Internet forums, where you have people maliciously attacking your overall index structure in a constant conflict for top page rank, orconstantly shifting page numbers based on time elapsed since last reply/engagement sorts.

Swear to God, might one day make a Dewey Decimal System-like search Engine. I've not encountered any other way of organizing information that seems intuitively mappable quite like it. Though I'll admit, I'm not sure what gives it the "stickyness" for me, the numbers, or the physical location. I'll preferentially choose a library whose physical layout I'm familiar with over one I don't, but if you take that physical layout and switch around all the numbers, I'll find you, and beat you with the heaviest reference volume in the Library once I find it.

Seriously though, even if you throw me in an unfamiliar layout, I'll generally quickly refresh on general identifiers then do a quick jog through the Library to nail down the layout. Haven't done many non-Dewey libraries, and hate the ones set up like bookstores where you don't have interleaved levels of sorting.
And how laughable, given wikipedia's heavy progressive bias. These people seek out and peddle victimhood as currency. Truly McArthy-esque, to see villains (in our times "oppressors") behind every shadow...

SMIC barelly can do 28nm chips, so Huawei is actually out of consumer mobile business for quite a while. No one that counts will produce chips for them, no one will sell the technology. With SMIC they gonna have to expand a line of products demanding less computation power in order to survive.
I use only Blender for 3D printing.

It's feature set isn't great for accurate mechanical engineering where you can find the measurement for every bit nice and easy. It really is "Connect the Dots 3D". It is more of a "make a cool digital object" thing.

But for example, I can take an object, turn it to "goo", play forward 5 seconds of animation and 3D print a "melted" version of that object. I mean, I don't know why you would, but you can.

Blender enables artistic possibilities for objects in ways that FreeCAD doesn't.

But you can use both!
> if you can assume clock synchronisation is within some modest delta.

From experience with clocks, you should really be actively testing the delta, and not just assuming it.
I'm looking forward to GPT-3 (or its successor) as something to do phrase-level autocomplete, rather than word-level as we have now. It will help as my finger joints get worse.

NFTs imply there is a platform which supports the contract and blocks all non-ownership AND people will use no other platforms
It's not clear that it's illegal. The federal fraud statutes cover obtaining "money or property" through false statements. A prosecutor would have to convince a jury that the site is engaged in conspiracy to commit fraud and that a degree is property. If I were on that jury I'd convict, but it's a riskier bet than prosecutors usually like. I'd be interested in seeing a well crafted law here that makes it obviously a crime, although federal felony is a bit harsh but that's what let's you coordinate across state lines.
>Would you agree then that participating in the 'anti-anti' mobs is also a possible form of feigned 'empathy'?

You have misread the comment twice over. I wrote nothing that would preclude your scenario from being a possibility, and I also wrote nothing about assuming a false pretense. In my opinion, wrt "empathy", most of the mob participants are just fooling themselves, and the cynical drivers of these controversies tend to lean on empathy as an explanation less often, in favor of more opaque theoretical constructs.

I love that very practical approach of "Crashes when I click that? Ok, don't click that."
Here's what this will accomplish: it will very temporarily placate extremely mentally fragile people. That's it. The people who were upset about "blacklist" and "slave" will just be back again later with more demands to change the environment for their (again, very temporary) comfort rather than changing themselves to be less bothered by things that don't actually matter. They're trying to pave the world with leather rather than just covering their own feet. Unwise behavior leads to bad outcomes.
The article appears to more describe the author's limited view of their own position rather than how senior engineers as a whole grow.

There are multiple paths up from a senior position, people management is one path, but there is also technical leadership through being an architect or team lead that still is involved in the nuts and bolts of the product, but with higher autonomy or control.

I'm also slightly confused by the assertion of "bigger company with bigger problems". From my experience, bigger companies often means the problems you work on are smaller in scope as there are specific teams for each area. A smaller company can offer you a far wider reach and experience with a greater variety of problems.
No, not others. Just those who would themselves cancel. After all, how did we solve McCarthy if not by removing him from power?

I'm not sure where you are drawing the line between organization and collective. I don't think there is such a clear separation, or much of a distinction at all. When I get a job at a company, yes I'm doing it in self interest, but I still make sacrifices to that group as part of my participation. Is it an ability to come and go independently and form or be part of different organizations that you think makes those non-collectives?

My counter to that is that free markets allow for all sorts of coercion by organizations that harms individual freedom and prevents new organizations from succeeding. You get a join-us-or-lose situation, as you can see playing out with hyper-consolidation of various industries.

Your premise that free markets translate into individual freedoms is limited to those freedoms that dominant organizations can't directly coerce you out of exercising or lobby/collude to take away from you.

I just took a look at her recent Tweets and TBH she doesn't seem much different from Stallman. Confrontational and set in her ways -- her mission just appears to be different from Stallman's mission and they crossed paths in an unfortunate manner. Both have great missions, and she shouldn't be "cancelled" either. (Stupid word, surely there had to be a better one)
One big difference is that with B2 you can't have append-only backups. (or maybe it's very non-obvious from the docs?) That's pretty much why I use rsync.net instead - I can configure a separate key for uploads. Otherwise what's to stop anyone lifting the B2 access key from the host with automatic backups configured and just deleting all old data?
US Government Just Admitted It Doesn't Try to Collect Rich People's Taxes
No one was requiring them to operate a pub. They were required to maintain a historic structure. Demolishing the historic structure to build a block of flats is obviously incompatible with that.

If they were going to keep the pub building but operate, say, a coffee shop and do a minimally invasive interior fit-out to support it this wouldn't be an issue. But it is only pragmatic that if you have a pub shaped building you cannot change, you might as well operate a pub out of it.
I've got about a decade of experience. I still find it relatively trivial to switch jobs. Maybe that'll change as I get older, but so far it hasn't been an issue even when dealing with FAANG. Maybe I'm just lucky.
Any writeup of this that concentrates on external responses and ignores the strong response from many within the communities that RMS led is failing to tell the complete story. There's no shortage of people extremely familiar with his work and behaviour who felt his continued involvement was inappropriate, but instead we're exposed to story after story about how a group of people pushing a one sided narrative unjustly silenced RMS. Which is ironic, given that they're only presenting one side of the events in question.

What heavy progressive bias is that?
That may be but there is something to the OP's point. The big 5 personality test which is the only personality test rally taken seriously in clinical psychology, has an aspect called agreeableness.

Having high or low agreeableness has a tremendous correlation with all kinds of outcomes. It's highly tied to success in corporate, church, and government settings. It's very likely that to be set enough to go against the majority in your field and build an alternative infrastructure in the face of a great deal of obstacles is going to attract a higher amount of diaageeable people. Now if you ask me, it's possible to be quite diaageeable and remain polite but I wouldn't be surprised if these sort of outsider niches often have an abrasive personality edge.

And when the elites start telling you to tilt you moral compass a certain way, you probably start bumping into some oppositional defiant disorder which correlates with low agreeableness.

A similar thing can be seen when substances are prohibited. People who normally would not do a more serious crime begin doing them because their desire for a drug already brings them outside the law.

Obviously finding ways to build alternative communities with a welcoming and conciecous spirit would be a great problem to solve. But I believe we will always bump into this.

My Lord. If Stallman truly is the reason that this Sarah Mei character didn't participate in Open Source for over a decade, I think the best thing we can do as a community is to make as many clones of him as possible.
How is there any controversy to judging people for what they believe? This seems so normal! At every level of society we judge people for what they think, for their sort of moral philosophy. That's morality on some level (or some sort of meta-morality).

Though I think the added point here is that people who believe something _and_ have some power over other people can effectively apply these beliefs. If I say "I don't think that hiring women is a good idea cuz they might go on maternity leave" and I'm also the managing director of some non-profit, well... I feel like suspicion about my capabilities in that role are judstified!
Meh. It's a system deployed on production that works, and is being used weekly. If he ever gets to the point where he needs to employ someone to do it, the system will be mature, and building a web ui rather straightforward.

Or it might not, but if he's successful to the point of getting employees, he can start worrying about it then. Isn't that like the number one advice for entrepreneurs? Don't worry prematurely about scaling out.
I personally follow a different reasoning: I assume that using a precompiled app from X mean that you trust X. Personally I do not particularly care that whatsapp is e2e, I do not trust Facebook not to have side channels in their apps.

Something like Matrix are likely the best you can go (a federated network where bad actors are likely to get called out, I have high expectations for its future), but apart from this I consider e2e a red herring* as e2e would also need to include source code, compilation, installation, and platform. it is not a magic incantation that fixes privacy (not to talk about metadata)

we find reasonable to have not e2e emails, not e2e file sharing, not e2e phone calls. personally I care more about the long term commitment telegram has publically and repeatedly made (and the my assumption that they do not expect to be able to come out unscathed from obvious leaks)

I understand that others might want more, no problem with that, but there is so much more than just e2e encryption.

*telegram should still offer secret groups

The parent comment specified elderly in nursing homes, which is statistically correct. The 80 year old with 30 years of nursing home life ahead of them is a wealthy anomaly.
I think this is a valid criticism from flatpak / snap. But they are step in right direction about sandboxing (on the other hand bloat and developer trust are main problems abou these platforms for me).
PSA for any devs out there implementing FB Pixels:

– Facebook's pixel will, by default, attach click listeners to the page and send back associated metadata. This simplifies implementation needs, but can create unintentional information leaks in privileged contexts. To disable this behavior, there's a flag[1] you can use. After which, you can manually trigger FB Pixel hits and control both when they're fired and what information is included in them.

– There's a feature for the FB Pixel called Advanced Matching[2] that allows you to send hashed PII as parameters with your FB events. "Automatic Advanced Matching" can be enabled at any time via a toggle in the FB interface. I believe that setting autoConfig to false as mentioned above will similarly prevent Automatic Advanced Matching from working (since it disables the auto-creation of all those listeners to begin with). When manually triggering pixel calls like above, you can use this functionality via "Manual Advanced Matching"[3].

As a general rule, I'd strongly encourage anyone implementing a Facebook pixel to also include the autoConfig = false flag. This makes it work like most other pixels, where the base tag just instantiates an object. After which, hits only occur when explicitly defined in the site code, and include specifically what details you include in it. That way you're fully aware of the scope of data disclosure happening and any need from marketing to include sensitive (or potentially sensitive) information in these calls has to be explicitly requested (and theoretically vetted) as part of the standard dev process.

SOLID (or any set of design principles) are important in the sense that you should think twice when you don't obey them. So it is not necessary that they are strictly well defined: they are stopping points for thinking not for marking on a YES/NO list.

> Yes, an interpreter is exactly what microcoding is.

In a sense, yes, it is indeed!

But when I think "microcode" then I think something like the 8086's horizontal microcode [1], where each line of microcode is wired directly to the various functional units and the microcode jumps and branches are (in some sense) determined based off (some of) the bits in the instruction register.

Characteristics of microcode include: wide instructions (20-40 bits) that perform multiple operations in parallel (e.g. ALU operation and register-register copy) and hardware dispatch to the appropriate microcode to handle each microcoded instruction via zero-overhead multiway branches.

I wouldn't call a 6502-like assembly language microcode, even if it implements an interpreter for a user-level instruction set, because it lacks the relevant characteristics of true CPU microcode.

This is why you should just ignore “people on Twitter.” People like this only have power if you pay attention to them. I’m not on Twitter and have never been. People could be “canceling” me there right now and I’d have no idea, and it wouldn’t affect me in the slightest. We give people power by paying undue attention to them.
> Should we fire 10% of the DOC workforce every year?

If the inmate population is declining by that amount, then absolutely yes we should. We didn't hire them in the first place to "give jobs" or "reduce unemployment". We (ostensibly!) hired them to guard prisoners.

When there are fewer prisoners to guard, you need fewer guards. It would be much cheaper to cover their education costs for a different line of work if you're worried about taking people's livelihoods away. (Which is a totally reasonable concern)

It reminds me of the quote about giving ditch diggers spoons instead of shovels to create more jobs:

I trust Tesla over Ford, given Musk's track record. I can't help but see this as a repeat on the FUD that legacy aerospace put out about how reusable rockets would never work, etc. And we only need to look back a few years to find all kinds of FUD that legacy auto was saying about EVs in general, and Tesla specifically.

> Nope, she is the character that needs to be ignored. That's the proper way to deal with trolls - not feeding them, not fighting them but starving them of attention they so desperately crave.

That solution to trolling has never worked and never will. The reason is that it requires near complete agreement and coordination between uncoordinated individuals, which is impossible for any but the smallest groups. There's always someone who's too new or who doesn't want to get with the program who will engage.
the reality is that signal is a secure communication app, not a messaging app. syncing old messages has unavoidable security problems and so signal chooses (as they should given their goals) not to implement it.
