There's also a lot of sub-ecosystem issues which are more prominent on Linux, like the long-standing surprise that NPM doesn't have a global rc file in /etc:

https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/533

The argument from the maintainer is reasonable that distros can just patch it, but realistically, everyone wants a newer version of things than what their distros ship—a similar tug-of-war ends up happening in the Python world, where distros like Ubuntu and Debian ship patched versions of pip/setuptools, and then users are encouraged to self-upgrade those tools to the upstream versions.

Anyway, this kind of thing isn't necessarily anyone's fault, but it is just a pretty different experience from Mac or Windows where you tend to have things be more self contained, like "here's where my Python installation lives because it's the path I put in the box when I ran setup.exe."
"I would not expect any help from Apple about how to do this."

This argument is straight up disingenuous- Apple is actively preventing you from running whatever you want on your property and they are preventing you from repairing it. You cannot get them to remove their crap from it.
I like to view SPACS as synthetic bonds. Bonds are boring so let’s instead describe them a different way.

SPACS are loot boxes. You have a chance at some point in the next 2 years that it may open. If you don’t like the opened stock, you can get a refund of 10$ plus interest. If it doesn’t open the same thing occurs.

As long as you are buying spacs (not companies that have completed the spac merger) at or below NAV you won’t get burned. You just pay in opportunity cost. If you pay for a pre LOI spac above NAV u are taking on risk and it is expected that you will get burned.

Lots of Chamath’s followers over paid for his spacs which ultimately burned them.
Completely incorrect for Mac. At least for those that want their peripherals to work.

Correct for Windows. But then they just buy the machines and complain about their issues later, hence, this subthread.
I implemented a firmware signing infrastructure for a large embedded hardware manufacturer using USB Nitrokey HSM devices (sub-$100/ea). We got the functionality we wanted from them at a fraction of the price point of the "big name" HSM manufacturers' offerings. The development effort to integrate the Nitrokey HSM, as a simple PKCS#11 device, was very simple. What we could get of the big-name HSM manufacturers' development docs, w/o an NDA or a purchase, looked to be much more difficult to integrate.
The Mac comparison is better than the Windows one but Mac is in exactly the same position as Linux here: either you use the manufacturer recommended hardware (Apple hardware or the various pre-configured Linux laptops like System76) or you spend time looking up compatibility (Hackintosh/roll-your-own Linux).

The difference is that the manufacturer-certified hardware for Macs has a giant advertising budget.

What happened to OneGet (now called PackageManagement?)

It apparently got to the point where it shipped with Windows:

> OneGet is shipped in Win10 and Windows Server 2016!

It seems to support pluggable backends (docker, chocolatey etc).

I think it is unlikely that crypto in it's current form will become the defacto money. Maybe we'll get the kind of anonymity that monero has or parts of it or corporations that anonymize transactions for a fee( think of it like how a public ip doesn't correspond to an address in a way).
Building an Effective Portfolio
Because not using sudo implies you’re not giving anything escalated privileges. I’m aware there’s a contrary view (which I can’t recall, but will dutifully refresh my memory after I post this answer) but this reasoning still feels more intuitive to me.
Intel is not called Chipzilla for no reason. AMD's been working like crazy to keep up, but Intel still has a lot of cash reserves and innovation. And though I prefer AMD as a company, I cannot deny that advances that have come from Intel and also from the AMD/Intel rivalry. It's better for both of them, and even more players, to succeed.

What is not right is for one or more players to use their market dominance to stifle innovation from competitors. I would be upset if AMD did the same thing (though they'd have to do it a lot, i.e., to the same level, before I would feel the same as I do about Intel).

Edit: Fixed typo.
Are we still arguing for HTTP-only sites ?
I'm confused on what the stream deck actually is. And the elgato site is overloaded with motion graphics. Is it basically just a grid of buttons with LCDs backing them? So you can attach a dynamic icon to each button and pressing it will run some macro on the host PC?

Another option is cut out a template in vinyl or even just some card stock (or 3d print if you can). Position each stream source icon behind the open spots. That being said, tablets aren't likely to cheaper than the device he's using.
I believe the column A, column B description is apt. For sure AMD is struggling with supply-chain issues, but despite that, they are still managing to lead and stay afloat in terms of tech and mindshare.

These unfair practices by OEMs and Intel serve to exacerbate that problem and will make it harder for AMD to gather greater marketshare as well as mindshare which they could have otherwise reaped when supplies are greater. It's a double-whammy misfortune for AMD in that case, which they don't need as their tech really is advancing past Intel in many ways.
If the government has the power to grant money and set metrics, it also has the power to take it away, and change the metrics. So if you are getting a grant based on "objective metrics," it might be a good idea to not piss of the people defining them.
The growing debate about whether inflation is coming
And one more reason why the phrase "Those who can, do. Those who can't teach." is so wildly off base. The multiplicative impact of an effective teacher is incredible.

Just think of the number of people who who have learned from his videos and have used it gain a deeper understanding, been inspired to learn more, or used it to go and do to exciting things.

The amount of impact he has had by effective and concisely explaining complex topics is incredible.
After following this issue[0] closely, I am not surprised.

I've been using ip over TCP for years when that was the only thing allowed.

For the most part it'll work no problem. Yeah tunnelling IP over UDP would be better, but ip over TCP is the only think you have... It's gonna work, as long as the underlying connection is stable enough.
Language Log investigated the "vocal fry problem" a few years back.

"And they want to talk about the crazy ways that young women are speaking. And the first thing they do is attribute it to young women, even though young men are doing it too. So it's a policing of young people, but I think most particularly young women."
I guess there are two discussions to be had here. The first is whether, in light of the author's explicit statements that he means the work to be Christian, we are still authorized as readers to abstract his text into a general idea of "the Hero's Journey." The second is whether there is anything distinctively Christian at all about LotR, when considered on its own terms. I would say that LotR objectively differs from the Hero's Journey in that it insists on mercy and the principled refusal of worldly power as its most central ideas.
Product safety requirements are imposed on engineers. If they don't like them, the option is to not offer products.

(this examines the obligations and loss of autonomy more than the ethical disagreement, but there's literally no remedy for someone that believes antilock brakes are unethical, we'd tell them to pound sand. The analogy would be better if that person existed, but I think it still works okay.)
People keep calling such suspicion "conspiracy theory" as if it's rare of unlikely. Intel in particular has been fined multiple times for this exact practice. Maybe they are back at it- if I were the regulator, I would at least take a look at the issue.

> It's like having a Porsche and not knowing anything about its internals or engineering history and simply driving it for fun on the track. If you join a car club, they'll think you are weird for not caring or knowing the displacement of your engine or your tire size.

Who cares if they do? If you want to buy a Porsche to enjoy hooning it around the track without knowing about any of that stuff, and if you can afford it? Why not do it? Who cares what those people think?

I absolutely don't mind if people want to geek out on the details or really take their hobbies seriously: that's totally cool. I do start to mind a bit when they expect me to do the same when that might not be what I want to do.
It's not really a "tactic" it's just a side effect of people buying everything on Amazon. You say tactic like it is some slimey technique. You are referring people to Amazon so you get paid for it.
It's not a conspiracy theory to suggest something that companies do all the time, and that intel regularly has and will probably continue to do.

I grew up in rural Scotland, and every Autumn the countryside seemed to explode with mushrooms - even the play park next door to my house was covered in them! After several years, the local council started spraying the park with something to kill them, but there were still an abundance available elsewhere.
> The real world is not binary left/right. It's more like Princess Mononoke, with the wolves, the boars, the apes, the Imperial soldiers, the humans of Iron Town, the human raised by wolves, and the last Emishi prince.

Not familiar with the reference, but I get the idea, and mostly agree. But particularly in places like the US where there are only two “real” parties it seems that most of the groups will ally with each other, even if otherwise vehemently opposed and form two vague alliances which you could perhaps classify as left or right if you so wished.

This is even more frightening to me as I realize you can’t trust anyone’s words and see certain factions “courting” other ones (and perhaps in my view, very dangerous ones) in attempt to fight the other side while still trying to claim ideas incompatible with those they’ve allied with and help provide power to.
I lived off Schönleinstraße and can attest to this. I heard it was due to a crackdown in Hermanplatz pushing people one stop over?
Unrelated but a ton of work is being put into HTTP/3 while ESNI has been lingering in draft spec for years. As far as protocol work, I think their priorities are wrong.

Most wireless protocols hide packet loss from upper layers anyways using retry/FEC. I can't think of a common situation where wireless packet loss is even visible to layer 4, so efforts to build tolerance to it are usually pointless
Web Audio's autoplay block was implemented in a very poor way though, basically guaranteeing that existing content will be broken with the user having no way to unbreak it.
The general quintic has no solution in radicals – no Galois Theory needed [pdf]
I'm going to get downvoted into the the ground for this, but I think it has to be said:

Front-end infrastructure and tools design unfortunately does not attract the cream of the CS graduate crop (and even less so Front-End design work).

For some reason, cream of the crop CS graduates usually veer towards systems, compiler, DB, back-end infra, language design, back-end, ML, etc ...

But not front-end.

The net result: the front-end ecosystem looks like the first BASIC program written by a 10 year-old who just got his first computer: it's a mess, it's unprincipled, it's grown organically, it's driven by fashion and immediate business needs, it's an unmaintainable tarpit, and it's increasingly a nightmare to build with.

I'm just ranting, I don't know what the solution is, but I gotta say: the WEB in 2021 is in a very sorry state.

[EDIT]: and if I try to think of a root cause for this state of affairs, I believe a lot of the blame can be attributed to Javascript, a language which sort of gave the "slapped together quickly because we need something now, damned be the warts" tone for the entire ecosystem.
I would link to implement https since almost all other sites I surf on now are https by default.

But the last time I tried it with multiple domains pointing to the same server it was too cumbersome.

And having to renew the certificate is also not very appealing for a small hobby site.

>> This is interesting. I am curious, which PoS coin implementations do you like?

I've been involved with Lisk (LSK) for several years. It's Delegated Proof of Stake though so you can use your LSK to vote for block forgers who offer a good % share of their block rewards and earn interest that way.

>> If an attacker wanted to not raise the price of a coin, couldn't they use crypto OTC markets to buy large amounts while not raising the price

Yes, that can happen in theory but in practice it's not feasible. In DPoS especially, whales would rarely agree to sell more than 50% of their own stake because if they did they could lose their forging delegate spot (which yields higher rewards than just voting). Because the blockchain is public, delegates all watch each other's on-chain activity and they can lose votes if they try to sell too many tokens (doesn't matter if it's OTC or exchange).

>> Aren't cryptocurrencies also only a scarce resource if they have a hard supply cap? Or do you figure in something like inflation vs coin burning to this as well?

If there is inflation, it doesn't affect the security of the blockchain because the attacker must acquire 50% of all tokens in any case. The more tokens there are in total, the more tokens the attacker needs to buy to get to 50%.

>> The only reason I could see the attack making financial sense at that point would be if it was a competitor who was trying to kill a competing PoS network and it was worth it to them to do so in order to promote their own network

Early days of any blockchain are always more risky. That said, the early days of most PoW blockchains are even more precarious than those of PoS. This is because with PoW, the community has no say over who can start forging blocks on its new blockchain (anyone who owns some crypto mining hardware can compete to produce blocks on potentially any PoW blockchain).

If just a tiny % of Bitcoin's miners were temporarily repurposed (e.g. minor software changes) to mine any new PoW blockchain, those miners could easily take over the new blockchain and create any transaction they want. With PoS, in the early days, the community gets to decide who will receive the initial tokens; so outsiders cannot highjack the network unless then find a way to buy more than 50% of the tokens from existing token holders.
I was following this project when it was initially released. It was primarily written by one guy who left the project right around the time that it shipped in Win10. Some new people came in and basically no development or promotion happened on the project since. I wonder if it was a political thing.

"we will not sell you any of these chips unless you agree to exclusivity with our chips for dual channel DDR"
I agree with you to a large extend. Defi will deflate a lot when the bull run is over. Although I've heard of people taking crypto loans to buy houses and being vert happy with the experience so there might be some actual utility in it already.

Overall unless I see real world usage of the networks and people buying stuff with the tokens, using dapps to build portfolios etc I firmly believe that we are in the very early stages of crypto.
"Hi Dell, this is Intel calling. You know how you are one of the biggest computer hardware vendors out there and we give you 30% off on our stuff because you sell insane volumes of it? Yeah we're gonna have to stop doing that if you continue this worrying trend of selling more and more of those AMD chips. We did the math and this will actually hurt you more than you could bring in on the AMD stuff. Ok thanks bye now"

Or maybe the other way around

"We'll give you 40% off instead of 30 if you stop moving so many AMD chips."

It is probably worth while for Intel to do things like this for now and stop the bleeding while AMD is ahead for once.
I am not really following the article, somehow I mostly see ads. Not sure if it's some content is missing for me.

If you install a piece of software which does monitoring of your IT infrastructure in your servers, and that software has malware in it which collects info it shouldn't, wouldn't you have the same issue regardless of what OS you are using?
Not necessarily even marketing. It’s also just the de facto Mac package manager most commonly mentioned in docs/READMEs for Mac install instructions. This is probably more a matter of convenience than anything, and anyone using other package managers can easily mentally map the instructions to their own usage.
In theory you should be able to condition on inherited wealth as well to remove that as a confounding factor (yeah this is a bit causally inspired), so I'd be curious if that's been done here.
I just inspected the page, and saw that this version does not use canvas (e.g. "canvaskit") but <flt-xxx> elements - e.g. the HTML flutter web output. This may or may not make things slower.

I don't have any non-public insight as to how intelligence agencies operate, so this is pure conjecture on my part:

If I was I was a intelligence agency in a country where there is a risk of blow-back, like in Europe or the US, I might prefer to use exploits. That way you haven't compromised your own country infrastructure (as much) and the risk of leaks is much lower since you dont have to work with an outside entity. A government agency forcing a domestic company to add backdoors, looks much worse if it gets out, then an agency using existing bugs.

If I'm a Intelligence agency in a country that doesn't care about blow-back like China or Russia, why bother finding and using an exploit, when you can call up the vendor and have them design the system with your use-case in mind? You dont have to worry about someone fixing the bug you have spent man years making exploitable, and you can make sure the backdoor can only be used by you. Its way more convenient and cost effective.
Before someone jumps in with "assent inflation", that's not the same thing. Just because you can use same word does not make it so.

Inflation as increase in consumer prices, is linked to unemployment, economic activity, wages etc. in a way that stock prices or property values are not.
How to build large-scale Front end SPAs in an Enterprise world
Don't bother. It's hard to do it correctly. If you look through the snippets (or the MDN docs[1]), the value is retrieved using the getParameter() function. You might be tempted to override the function by doing something like

gl.getParameter = () => "test"

but that's easily detectable. If you run

gl.getParameter.toString()

You get back

"() => "test""

whereas the original function you get back

"function getParameter() { [native code] }"

In general, don't try to fix fingerprinting via content scripts[2]. It's very much detectable. Your best bet is a browser that handles it natively.

Of course but that is a move that costs the government something in political capital. There are always dangers in criticising the powers that be, but I can not see that these kinds of press grants are a big problem.

If the country is a democratic one to begin with, the grants do more good by insulating the press from commercial powers than they do bad in this way, in my opinion.
