What also does not help is that becoming good at networking engineering at scale is something that is hard, if not impossible to learn on your own. Software Engineering is something one can teach themselves on a laptop, learning to design, build and operate networks at a large scale across geographies is simply not possible without being part of the industry.

Network engineering talent is incredibly hard to come by in most regions of the world, especially if you consider that ISP networking deals with arcane technologies not really used in most "enterprise" networks. (BGP in various ways, MPLS is a big one, and arcane transports like SONET or DWDM solutions).

Sure, one might be able to learn how to configure BGP, how ip works etc from their laptop using GNS3 or a couple of second hand routers/switches, but learning how to design networks at scale is completely different beast.

Most people seem to enter the field by getting hired as tech support at a NOC and working their way up from there, which is kind of a grind compared to some more lucrative positions available to people who posses the technical talent.
>The games are projected on a screen behind him, including the telltale blur of a camera being pointed at a CRT TV.

That's funny, because the video embedded directly above that sentence demonstrates that they in fact used chroma key and directly used the console video signal, no cameras pointing at CRTs here.
> a laptop that starts at $1470 with a 802.11n wireless network interface, in the year 2021? seriously?

https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-14/

So you have the option to not have the wireless card installed (it's $29 cheaper), and buy your own wireless and install it.

Oddly enough, the only way to get your "$1470" figure I see if to remove the wireless card, so you had to have seen that.

That implies I can upgrade the wireless card. I am typing on a Thinkpad x200 (yes...from 2008) and I can (and have) upgraded the Wifi Card.

Here I found a Intel AX200 (Which supports WiFi 6):

https://www.newegg.com/fenvi-ax200ngw-pcie-half-mini-card-m-... (this is not the same card I have in my laptop, I forget where I bought the one in here).

You are free to buy it and install it (I sincerely doubt coreboot enforeces a PCI whitelist), And it looks like you will come out $10 ahead.

To be honest, I wish I could buy all of my laptops without a HD, wireless card, RAM, etc and put that all in myself (I did that for my Thinkpad x2100, and I am very happy I did)

> And then they have the gall to sell the power adapter separately from the laptop, for an extra $59? What brand new laptop on earth doesn't come with an AC wall adapter/charger in the box?

I see "Power Adapter Plug", and no option to ship without one. No option is more expensive. I don't think they are only shipping a "Power Adapter Plug" without a "Power Adapter".
Technology loses out in companies, countries and continents
It's been like this for at least several months.
Looking at the number and type of ports is a pretty good indication that features are being removed. I love the 2015 form factor: retina, good keyboard, thin enough, 2 USB-A, 2 Mini-DisplayPort, 1 HDMI, jack, SD card port, MagSafe. I wish a M1 model with an equivalent enclosure would be produced.
Hard to prove in words, because proving intentions, arrogance and other interpersonal subtleties is always hard.

But relatively easy to notice if you take time to watch lectures themselves. Ego driven complexity is different then inability to explain complexity or it is complicated complexity.
Stop saying this utter nonsense. It’s far easier to flood everyone’s devices with MLM material, cough sorry, Crypto bullshit, sorry information.

As an aside I think part of the problem is FAAMG platform monopolies sucking the life out of real company innovation. I’ve had so many ideas where the ultimately decision was to not do it because it makes more sense for them to do it.
Is there anything dangerous about linoleic acid? I.e. is there harm in trying it, even if it turns out it doesn't work? Just curious how a trial like this would go. If it's essentially benign, it seems like people could just use it, if it had some potential side effects then I guess it would be more complicated.
An investment asset must have a cash flow and/or intrinsic value. Otherwise you do not have a way to recuperate your money, so it is not an investment. They also provide basis for value of the asset. Bitcoin has neither. That is why Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme regardless of all the rosy pictures the believers try to paint. This is very important: Bitcoin has neither cash flow nor intrinsic value. The only way to recuperate money from Bitcoin is for another person to pay for it - the very definition of a Ponzi scheme. Gold does not have a cash flow, but it has an intrinsic value.
Brisket is very forgiving and you can get greatness out of a range of styles.

If you want to get started tomorrow for like 100 pounds, search youtube for clay pot smoker.

If you want to get it right the first time and you don't want to work hard, just buy a good quality electric smoker. Like the large (22 inch) Weber Smokey Mountain. The others are too small for whole briskets.

If you want to earn your stripes as a pitmaster, buy an offset smoker. They're cheap, but don't cheap out. Get a heavy one. Someone else mentioned Oklahoma Joe's - that's my smoker. Prepare to spend a lot on charcoal and wood. If you want to throw huge bbq parties this is your best option because it's big enough for multiple briskets.

A great option is a Big Green Egg or a knockoff. Expensive to buy but cheap on charcoal and wood and holds temperature all day.

Salt and pepper rub. Oak or hickory or pecan wood. Get a good grilling thermometer.

I've had Franklin's. You can make it just as good with any of the above options.
"Income tax is significantly higher than capital gains, and that clearly contradicts the contention that we preferentially tax things we hate."

But filesystems are secure (mostly, ignoring unicode issues) whilst sqlite is an insecure hack.

You'll have hard time to harden sqlite, removing all the insecure defaults, fix the broken and exploitable full text search apis, but esp. its built-in hacks. Like explained here https://github.com/rurban/hardsqlite or here https://research.checkpoint.com/2019/select-code_execution-f...
> Examples of popular apps that can write to the host filesystem (and remember kids, the ability to write to $HOME always means full account takeover, followed shortly by root access if your account can sudo):

I actually use exactly zero of the applications you mentioned. The ones I looked at was:

Spotify - Only access to music and pictures

Element - Keyring and download. It does get all-devices though which could be a problem

Signal - Gets access to a bunch of directories such as desktop and documents. This is a bit excessive.

Tor browser - No access (I wouldn't expect anything less)

Climaxima - No access, but I wrote that application so perhaps that's a bit unfair

Those as the applications I most commonly use. However, now that I look through the list of applications I have installed, I see some that I'm really disappointed are requesting full filesystem access, including GIMP and Kdelive.

> Whenever independent tasks need to be accomplished, independent solutions is the superior choice. The alternative are monoliths and semi-closed gardens.

I don't disagree with this. It's most definitely possible that your proposed approach is better, but as of right now, no one is making that easy (i.e. you need to know what you're doing to benefit from the security benefits).
Stop worrying about a job and start worrying about skills.

The great thing about software is that you don’t need permission (a job) to make impact and to build skills.

Build something or contribute to open source.

If I were staring my career over and had trouble getting a software job I would get any job I could to sustain life -ex busing tables. Then I would spend all of my nights and weekends working on open source or building things publicly.

If you spend the next year doing open source contributions for 30+ hours a week I can pretty much guarantee that you will have a job.

It will be hard sure. But this is the way.

Develop skills and the jobs will come.

The password was in a file that was committed to github IIRC.

I think both the intern that posted the file and the person making that statement both did not realize that someone had given the user write access.. which in my opinion was the actual mistake, not the ftp or the password.
How can they be so little research in this topic? The article says almost nothing.

There seems to be a detachment on the tech and the price of the tech. It’s prob not a ponzi but when that promise starts to take too long, people are still waiting, these prices won’t last long. The current price appreciation, the “cycle” as they call t, is based on a world wide FOMO.

You should not focus on the easiest emissions to eliminate.

The issue is with the most difficult.

Some 10% of our emissions are from steel and cement. There are no cheap green solutions here.

With the recent googlemaps timeline feature (also featured in various geographical websites) it's interesting to revisit land use in the last century.

After scanning my native area in the 50s I was staggered by the amount of fields in my now urban area. And basically every housing project (say 5+ building sets) was either an old forest block or a field.

Also even though we're all hearing about how humanity is too big for earth, the rate of new construction has increased in the recent years (albeit different form of urban planning[0]) to the point I have no idea who's gonna make enough babies to populate these buildings.

[0] 70s gigantic projects inspired by Le Corbusier 'cite radieuse' did have unforeseen social defects, a large amount of them have been destroyed and replaced by smaller, more human like buildings and the effects are surprising.. entire areas where I wouldn't land a foot due to the menacing feel is now walkable, you can even start to see the parks as parks to chill
That's not the part of React people are complaining about. The jab at react is a jab at the whole virtual DOM thing which is just a completely unnecessary layer of abstraction in a desktop app.

If you wanted to say Angular or Ember apps are more like traditional desktop apps, then sure.
My problem with Le Corbusier is not the architectural style of Brutalism - some of my favourite buildings are in that style. It was the iconoclasm and outright hostility to existing architecture he promoted. It reminds me of Mao's cultural revolution - he and his followers seemed to delight more in the frenzied destruction of existing architecture than in the act of creation and invention.
How is that better than any simple captcha?
It "worked" for me on FF 87 on Linux.

But that's not even a click-dummy "desktop". Also, form the tech perspective, it seems pre-alpha state. At least the web version renders with maybe 10 fps on a pretty decent machine, and every click has at minimum half a second latency. No clue why someone put up a website marketing this thing to end-users. It looks like 3 to 6 years of hard work form usable, imho.
Based on the history of humanity, is there evidence we can fix our planet?
Think they mean you can't easily swap out the code and iterate, as the current chain is the "value" so any update has to be widely accepted and heavily tested to not taint that value.
The bizarre thing is western interpretations of Yoga focus so much on Mysore Ashtanga style. I have studied with other schools of Yoga and there are literally hundreds of lineages. It is like insisting Chicken Tikka masala and Naan are sole representations of authentic Indian food because that is what we experience in the west. Most Indian Yoga practitioners have never heard of Pratabbi Jois and Mysore Ashtanga but westerners keep holding them up as some epitome of Yoga.

The insistence that sun salutations are a innovation is again bizarre as there are sutras devoted to sun saluations. In many families, children are taught sun salutations by their parents and grandparents as ancestral traditions.

Even if you grant that modern forms of doing Yoga are an innovation inspired by calisthenics, why did that innovation come from European calisthenics when India has dozens of ancient arts like kalaripayattu that are practiced in Calisthenic sequences?

Salt is not per user, nor is it a cryptographic secret. Salt is only used to make rainbow tables not scale across multiple databases, so each database needs its own rainbow table calculation.

"Pepper" is per user, but widely regarded as unhelpful because, again, it's not cryptographically secure if the database is hacked.

Wait? Why where the comments here flagged and removed, they where right in that china is most likely abusing such things for industry espionage and pushing political opinions, [rest mine:] and we know (Snowden) that the US does so.

Through in both cases both powers most times don't need to use any backdoors or similar as they can just influence the companies in questions directly. Like don't forget the currently ongoing law suite against a (Chinese) Zoom executive or how they repeatedly successful pressured Apple, to erode how much apple users can go against the CCP... (e.g. removing disliked censor resisting Apps and similar).

And lets be honest for most (but not all) people neither power would ever bother targeting them directly, but the side effects of targeting which isn't against them directly still has a good chance of long term degrading their live quality (IMHO).

Our extensive radio transmissions would surely already have been received, but the nukes (being secret initially), if detectable at interstellar distances, could certainly give away destructive capability earlier than radio transmissions could reveal.
Well, the GP is talking margins and branding. That sounds like graphic design to me.

But it does also apply to your definition somewhat though: if we were marketing forcefed a solution which made (possibly better designed per your definition) competitors die, is this excellent design (per your definition) or is everyone parotting eachother because they had enough cash to 'win the race' and are therefor the new standard? Which has nothing to do with design (even in your broader definition).

Ps. I do agree with you but very much feel that GP is mostly talking about graphical design, which I simply do not think is as important as designers think it is. Compared to most other aspects.

What? The M1 MacBook Pro is not the magical device with no compromises???

People were way too enthusiastic and purposely skipped over any weaknesses of the form factor.

People were claiming that it was capped at 16G ram because there were no purpose for having 32G ram (it was amazing to see the hacker news technical set reclaim Bill Gate's "640K ought to be enough for anybody" and "1 monitor is enough for every use case").

There are no perfect computers. Even Apple has to compromise. They were clearly stated but people just didn't want to accept that the M1 isn't a perfect computer that could do everything.

Thanks for that link. Interesting that it was written a year-or-so after the phrase became popular.
I try to exercise every day. This includes sometimes going to gym, or just visiting a park to play badminton with my wife.

I like to read, although that has taken a back seat for some time. Learning a few new technologies on the time I don’t have anything else to do.

Fwiw, I work remotely, and I generally begin late - around 11 am. I wake up around 6 am, which gives me a good amount of time to do all the things I described, as well as get some house chores done. No commute means anywhere between an hour to two hours saved each day.

After finishing work, I watch a little Netflix or something before sleeping. Of course, all this can vary a little day to day, but that’s my average day.

Weekends, I get into some gaming, getting out of house, eating out etc with friends or family. Just doing nothing and have a quite time to myself is also one of things I really like doing every now and then.
There's a big gap between what happens in the larger telcos that run infrastructure, and the white label operators.
Yep. The reason was that geography based communities were relevant. That reason is getting out of date. And it is important to remember that nation states are a step in an evolutionary process, not the end point.

The reason these things are happening is that the world needs different institutions going forward and the failure of the old is part of that evolutionary process. And the old naturally dislikes being replaced and invents myths that claim this replacement is a negative event. It is not.
I think you’re misunderstanding what a buyback does, it returns value to shareholders.

If you own X% of a company and it buys back 20% of it’s shares, congratulations you now own 1.25X% of the company. If you don’t want 1.25% of the company sell 1/5th and it’s equivalent to a dividend. Alternatively, if it does this for long enough without you selling then you end up owning 100% of the company and the next buyback is again equivalent to a dividend.
Thanks. Although that's a few years after the phrase was first popularised - it's still funny :-)
I agree with 100% of that - a much harder problem to solve when learning real network engineering is much more capital intensive and requires real financial resources that may be beyond the reach of many.
Fantastic little post.

I'm still quite new to Go- curious if anyone has any good resources for learning how to implement a db in Go?
Past abuses of power shouldn't justify modern ones, nor should it be normalized and accepted by anyone. It should be criticized and measures put in place so that it doesn't happen again.

We can do better as a civilization and learn from past mistakes. The fact China downplays and denies theirs while trying to gaslight the world should be reason enough to never do business with them until this changes and they can be transparent and honest.

Unsurprisingly comments like yours come to their defense anytime a news story like this comes along. It's tiring, frankly.
