Doctorow comments on hardware, from the article:

At the Chaos Computer Congress in Berlin late last year, Cory Doctorow held a presentation titled “The Coming War on General Purpose Computation“. In it, Doctorow warns that the general purpose computer, and more specifically, user control over general purpose computers, is perceived as a threat to the establishment. The copyright wars? Nothing but a prelude to the real war.

“As a member of the Walkman generation, I have made peace with the fact that I will require a hearing aid long before I die, and of course, it won’t be a hearing aid, it will be a computer I put in my body,” Doctorow explains, “So when I get into a car – a computer I put my body into – with my hearing aid – a computer I put inside my body – I want to know that these technologies are not designed to keep secrets from me, and to prevent me from terminating processes on them that work against my interests.”

And this is really the gist of it all. With computers taking care of things like hearing, driving, and more, we really can’t afford to be locked out of them. We need to be able to peek inside of them and see what they’re doing, to ensure we’re not being monitored, filtered, or whatever. Only a short while ago I would’ve declared this as pure paranoia – but with all that’s been going on recently, it’s no longer paranoia. It’s reality.
Godfather II over Godfather?!?

Godfather II over Godfather?!?

Still, it looks like a worthwhile list to plunder.

I plundered a lot of the movie names dropped by Jerry Harvey in "Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession." Imagine having such an eye for movies that you could watch "Heaven's Gate"-- considered the flop of flops at the time-- and surmise that it's probably a great movie that got cut poorly.

Even more impressive-- imagine having such credibility that you could convince an audience who yawned through 2.5 hours of "the most boring movie ever" to wade through 3 hours and 40 minutes of a longer cut of the same movie. He basically invented the "director's cut."
Ah, so in other words, a cold is a syndrome.

Yes. I have spent $4000 on consultants to set up our AWS project and it’s still not easy as “git remote add prod ssh://heroku.com/my-app”.

This “git push” is a killer feature — maybe it doesn’t really make sense security-wise or in a real architecture, but it makes it very sexy.
Structural transphobia such as the medical gatekeeping GCs want to preserve, and incidents of violence, are both actual transphobia. Focusing on the latter and ignoring the former is also transphobic.
> digital artists can now sell collections with proven scarcity

They can't, NFT's don't change that.

Nothing stops an artist from minting a new NFT that contains or refers to exactly the same artwork.

The only thing scarcity depends on is ultimately an artist's verbal promise not to make more, which they can break whenever they want. True before NFT's, and true after NFT's.
We may be a lot like the much older generations that left behind only a handful of prized possessions.

I have a wedding photograph printed on non-biodegradable material (not intentionally for preservation, it's decorative), and perhaps that will eventually be the only tangible evidence of me in the same way that wedding photographs are all I've seen of some relatives born before 1900.
> I don't need to add new barriers to interacting with me. :)

This is an issue for me too. I know the meme is "your real friends will still make the effort and call you / hang out with you / whatever", but I don't think it's that simple— we (especially in the pandemic, but really always) rely on social gatherings/media as a proving ground for acquaintanceships, a place to banter back and forth and onramp a relationship to the point where it would be not-weird to actually arrange an intentional activity or get-together.

And the reality is, when I've had acquaintances fall off my social media radar or be otherwise difficult to get ahold of, I just can't be bothered. When every person but one is in a FB Messenger group chat, and one person wants to be texted-with about what the plans are, that person inevitably gets left behind.

So maybe there's some FOMO going on here, but I don't think I'm at a place in my mid-thirties where I'm ready to effectively shut the door on those opportunities.
Revisit is getting better and satellites have an edge when it comes to total coverage of the earth, but the 120,000 flights around the world each day typically fly predictable routes at low altitudes near urban centers (takeoff and landing). This presents a massive opportunity to leverage all of that "free energy" and use aircraft for earth observation. Coverage can be supplemented with satellites, but revisit of aircraft is far greater for many terrestrial locations.

2x/day revisit for most of the world is probably sufficient for the majority of use cases, but that assumes good weather (for images). On the other hand, LAX for example sees hundreds of takeoffs and landings each day, so if you were interested in modeling retail foot traffic by parking lot volume, pace of urban development, rate of containers moving in and out of port, etc. you could get a massive boost in temporal resolution using aircraft and far cheaper than launching + maintaining a satellite constellation.
> It should have made it clear the goals is to improve the speed with which you can configure a production app, not a development app. Development apps on Heroku are already close to perfect.

What the heck does that mean? All of my apps are "production apps", what is a "development app" and why would I be deploying it to heroku? Nobody is paying heroku prices for something other than an app that will be in production! (Yes, you might have staging and feature demo etc... is that what they're tyring to talk about? They think heroku is great for deploying your staging phase, but when you get to the production phase.... they think the article explains this somehow? Cause it certainly does not).

I for real don't even underestand the distiction they are trying to make here about heroku being good for "development apps" not "production apps". Like before saying whether I agree or not, I don't even understand what they are talking about.
We're in agreement that knowingly associating oneself with pedophiles deserves a degree of opprobrium. However that does raise the question, how much opprobrium?

The person in question probably suffers psychologically a great deal. Who wouldn't if they were dealt with the double-hand of gender-dysphoria and a pedophile father? I think it is safe to conclude this person is not well. Does the world really stand to gain much exposing a fringe activist to the opprobrium of the entire world?

I might sound radical in saying this, but I really don't think they do, and I think that societal shame needs to be regulated in proportion with how useful it is.
Which liability? In which juridiction? From what I read in another other website, the affair seems pretty serious: hired murderer pedophile dad and met husband on a furry forum on which that guy wrote about raping children. Since that individual is a political figure (thus public figure) it’s legitimate the people discuss about those facts.
if you really care why not just reach out. I was one of the first people (that I know of) who decided to live this way so never thought about it. only later after I constantly seen the topic pop up (and finding myself justifying my "odd behaviour" to others) noticed that also now I wouldn't announce it in fear of being called "that guy" who thinks they are special. I didn't want to be seen as "the vegan at the steak dinner" telling everyone that they are better then them. Being so disillusioned with superficial "online friendships" at the time felt it was also my duty to not announce it to all those 95% of my contacts who didn't care anyway.
So, PyWebIO doesn't re-execute the whole script like Streamlit does? I use streamlit, and that's one of its pain points. If the script is complicated, re-execution becomes slow.

Also does PyWebIO support defining inputs based on other ones? For example, to have a hierarchy of dropdowns (select company --> based on that selection, select employee --> etc).
No, plainly. It's not even close.
IMO, you can ditch a smartphone and still keep using the services. I normally keep such services on my laptop, and I just open one up when I need to use one.

It's a middle ground. I can't completely get rid of a smartphone because I'm into motorcycle touring and GPS is essential to me. I'm trying alternatives to Gmaps, but it's pretty awkward and uncomfortable.

One thing that I've done is no notification tone, and I've disable notifications for whatever selected IM apps I've got on my phone

Sure: Koehler is usually improperly applied, using compulsion. Koehler as practiced by Koehler is a very very slow method of training. Put the dog in a sit, put him in a sit again, and again, until he learns to sit.

Ellis style is all about letting the dog decide his actions, and then rewarding it when it makes the choice you want. for instance, to teach a pup to sit, we lure the dog into a sit using a treat. when he sits, you mark the reward with a word (some people use clickers) and then treat. You end up with a pavlovian response, where when the dog hears "yes" or "good" he expects a treat, and gets excited. After awhile the dog will start sitting on his own, and you mark/reward that. Later on you can add in the command, when the dog is performing the action on its own.

The difference between the two methods is that with the ellis style, you end up with a dog that WANTS to work, and looks to you for direction rather than being dead inside.

> So the gist of it is that when she was running for election, she hired her father as an election agent while he was being investigated for his crimes, and also she lived in the house he performed his crimes in at the same time.

That's where it started, but it seems to have intensified (based on my brief research, I think I've come across some of the earlier stories about Knight/Challenor previously, but it's not too of the mind stuff) because her current spouse is apparently an open (not active, at least openly) pedophile who has publicly posted about (among other things) fantasizing about children being forcibly kidnapped, tortured, and raped.

This, combined with the issues that arose around how much she may have been aware of, involved in, or defensive of her father's crimes would probably bring a firestorm of negative attention to her if she wasn't trans, and the fact that it's natural fit with the anti-LGBTQ propaganda angle that everything that deviates from pure cisgender heterosexuality is barely a step removed from bestiality, child rape, and the general collapse of society makes it the perfect magnet for the absolute worst that the culture wars have to offer.
Can someone ELI5 how this compares w/ SushiSwap?
Too many times ration discussion critical on parts of the trans rights movement is heavily downvoted or banned. The people who otherwise support trans people, but think 'affirmation-only' approaches are the wrong way to go, are forced to forums/subs filled with people who are unapologetically transphobic. The discussion there will often lead the moderate opinions to radicalization.

Of course parts of gay culture can be critized. Older man preying on barely legal teens, drug use, and open relationships are all controversial things that the gay community grapples with. Sure I can get behind not giving a platform to people who think gays should be stoned or trans people don't exist, but the moderates shouldn't be lumped in with them.

The blog post process you have linked demonstrates this very well. Btw, I dig your flame emoji :-D
"Criticize" is a broad word. The modern concept of trans-ness only exists in the first place because people felt free to think about and question the conventional wisdom in gender politics. (One prominent example of this dynamic is Marsha P. Johnson, who's usually considered a trans woman today, even though she never used the term "transgender" herself and often identified as gay.)
Not to this extreme, but I try to have a leaner digital life as much as possible. I jump early (must have been 10+ years) onto the idea of no newspaper, no news, no cable, etc. I don't try to preach to others to practice what I do, but I believe it is about not worrying about missing out.

I was very digitally involved and was one of those early adapters and regular beta-testers of new software, including hardware, etc.

People are surprised when I don't carry my phone most of the time, not giving out my phone number when ordering tea; some are even angry when I say "no phone calls"[1]. I use the phone primarily as a camera.

One of the best things was to disable all notifications[2] except for the must-haves such as Calendar.

I still use electronics and digital devices, and mediums, but I have dumbed them down far enough. I will continue to prune and minimize my attachments.

> Maybe don't hire a known child rapist/torturer if you don't want to be hated.

To manage her political campaign, that's the important part. Being a candidate for a public office _is_ justified reason for discussing a person's employees/employers/companies/taxes/PRs/whatever.

I had no frakking idea on who she was until this, anyway.
Maybe, but one of the things that frustrates me is that I know picked up a lot of things because of the books my dad had on the shelves for example. Of course he showed me many of them, but I discovered many more myself because they were there in front of me.

You might have been downvoted for conflating gay and trans concerns as though they are the same. From what I've observed there are genuine conflicts between those communities and discussion is necessary to resolve them - it's not automatically "criticism".

For example quite a few of the "gender critical" people being referred to here are actually lesbians, and they've been accused of hate or transphobia because they loudly refuse to adjust their sexual preferences to include males who identify as women. It's impossible to satisfy both gay and trans people on this specific topic.

We do that on a small scale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_removal#Direct_... - "a pilot plant in British Columbia, Canada that has been in use since 2015[51] and is able to extract about a tonne of CO2 a day.". CO2 is in the atmosphere at 400 parts per million, i.e. to get 400Kg of CO2 out you need to suck 1,000,000Kg of air through (at minimum, assuming you can get every single CO2 molecule out), which sounds like a lot of matter to move and a power-hungry approach.

The world emits about 37 billion tons of CO2 per year which is 33.5 billion Kg, so we need 90 million of those pilot plants to remove a year of CO2 in 365 days of operation, at a cost of $0.3T to $0.6T per year.
It depends.

I'm a senior SWE at a non-tech (tech is a cost center) company. However, many tech (tech is a profit center) companies - not just FAANG - will pay at least, if not significantly more, for midlevel roles. Hence one of the reasons I don't mind downgrading.

OP mentions "Fortune 500", which I often see used for non-tech companies. If this is the case, the above is something to keep in mind. The downside is you're most likely to be leetcoded during interviews so you need to prepare.
Is the theory of gravity still something to be considered only a theory?
I might disagree with you on one point - Gender critical feminists, whose detractors have kindly labeled "TERFs," threaten the philosophical underpinnings of the trans movement in a way that trans hate does not.
Ask HN: How do you use Dropbox without the cruft?
Dropbox used to magically sync a folder across the web and show its status in the menu bar. Nowadays it's its own 400MB app which also syncs file.

I don't want that.

How can I continue using Dropbox the way it was ideated without having to deal with an app? Even a plain hourly/daily sync cronjob would be good enough for me.

Note: I need Dropbox specifically because some colleagues use it.

See my edit. There are lots of stuff browsers forbid you from doing if HTTPS is not in use, so the kind of defaults you quote are not really that useful. For example, the browser won't let you capture webcam video (MediaDevices.getUserMedia()) from a page which is not https or localhost (so, good for a computer where you are running some software, not so good for an embedded device you want to install in your home and access from within your LAN with e.g. your phone, for whatever reasons)
Feels like fundamental problem with everything these days is the obsession with growth.
> The people who otherwise support trans people, but think 'affirmation-only' approaches are the wrong way to go

This is a contradiction in terms. Supporting trans people means believing that transition is not some sort of "regrettable outcome".

> are forced to forums/subs filled with people who are unapologetically transphobic. The discussion there will often lead the moderate opinions to radicalization.

You are the company you keep.
No problem! I think the skepticism is very warranted. We know that these systems can be created, but we don't have examples of this working at the same scale as projects like Linux yet. That takes time and effort, exactly as Linus and Greg Kroah-Hartman say. We'll see how it works out in practice. I also think the "de novo system" and "adding Rust into a large existing system" are two related, but different, problems, with their own unique challenges.
Ah, AskHistorians can be rough. Maybe it's a more technical thing, but on some sports and some computer niche subreddits I feel okay and there's a nice discussion.

Because after she was thrown out of the green party she said ‘transphobia’ was the reason she was being thrown out, presumably in an attempt to deflect from the real reason.

The real reason was that she recruited her father as a campaign manager while knowing he was being charged for sexual offences, and he would eventually be convicted of raping and torturing a 10 year old child which was held captive in the attic of the house she was living in at the time.

I think emotional reaction happens to a lot of things that we like, where we raise up their benefits and downplay their negatives. At least for the first few years, until we're in a different context or something else comes along that solves it even better.

I also think that's why lisp people are so feverish about lisp as well: as you get more involved in the language with its charms, the more excitement you get and you want to see the language in more places/contexts
