Nope.

To repeat something I said in a not entirely dissimilar discussion: I'm not gonna let Nazis into my car club because we have a single common shared interest. They're Nazis.

I'm also not gonna work with die hard mysogynists because they're mysogynists. Great engineers who are shitty people are shitty people first and they can go right back to gutter they crawled out of.

Don't compare blemishes to prideful hate. The stupid things I've said, the hurtful things, they are not the things I want to publish and stand firm on. They are mistakes for which I feel regret. If I glorified my abhorrent behavior, you'd be right to shun me.
This is... impressively racist.

Chinese livestreaming platforms have an addiction to inflating numbers, so I'm not sure if those are all real, or just growth hacking and user retention tricks.

We just massively reduced GPU utilization on Wormhole for a second time (as of May 12). Give it a try and let me know if you still have issues.

GPU utilization when window is full screen, 4K resolution:

Chrome:

- Radeon: 70% -> 15%

- M1: 65% -> 29%

Firefox:

- Radeon: 60% -> 8%

- M1: 55% -> 23%

Safari:

- 15% Radeon + 75% Intel -> 8% Radeon + 8% Intel

- M1: 75% -> 35%

A bit more detail: We're running into the limits of WebGL. It seems just rendering a white screen at 60fps at 4K resolution is enough to make people's fans turn on.

So we reduce the frame-rate when the wormhole is not warping (render every 3rd frame). We also lower the resolution and scale it up.

The IG Horowitz report from December 2019. FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith doctored a email from the cia which originally said Carter page was a CIA source and he changed it to he was not a source which made a huge difference because if courts had known Carter Page was a cia source, then the FISA warrants and 3 renewals on him would have not ever been issued. Carter Page was helping his own country and working for the CIA. But Kevin Clinesmith turned it the opposite.
And as expected Clinesmith got no jail time.

> In Nov. 2019, the Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz issued a criminal referral for Clinesmith’s role in the FBI’s surveillance of Carter Page. According to Horowitz’s final report on FISA abuse, Clinesmith–identified as “Office of General Counsel attorney“–altered an email used in a surveillance renewal application.

> According to Horowitz, an FBI “Supervisory Special Agent 2” had requested “a definitive answer to whether Page had ever been a source for another U.S. government agency before he signed the final renewal application” of the third FISA warrant application seeking to maintain the wiretap on the former Trump 2016 campaign advisor.

> A Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) liaison told Clinesmith that Page “did, in fact, have a prior relationship with that other agency,” the IG report continued. Clinesmith, however, “altered the liaison’s email by inserting the words ‘not a source’ into it, thus making it appear that the liaison had said that Page was ‘not a source’ for the other agency” and passed it along to the FBI’s supervisory agent.

> “Relying upon this altered email, [Clinesmith] signed the third renewal application that again failed to disclose Page’s past relationship with the other agency,” Horowitz concluded.

> Horowitz’s report also showed that although the CIA told the FBI in August 2016 about Page’s relationship with the CIA, the FBI left that out in the initial FISA application, filed in September 2016.

> The report said the first FISA application left out that Page had been approved as an “operational contact” for the CIA from 2008 to 2013 and that he had had “provided information to the other agency concerning his prior contacts with certain Russian intelligence officers.”

> That information “overlapped with facts asserted in the FISA application,” according to Horowitz’s report. The FISA warrant application on Page also left out that the CIA had given Page a “positive assessment,” the report said.

I think it will be abstracted kubernetes - something a little like ec2, but where the cpu, memory, and disk are multi-tenant, overprovisioned, and your code and aps run on the os provided, but are suspended during non use and unsuspended by the supervisor service on demand. Common architectures are available (elk, ssh/scp, tls load balancer with lamp/tomcat-postgres/etc.) Out of the box with automating, overprovisioned, multi tenant bandwidth, storage, etc.

Virtual private servers, but suspended/resumed/scaled for you without you needing to worry about the underlying method of deployment. AWS lambda + aurora but running actual operating systems. You want more threads or memory - they're there for you. Every user process is metered and monitored. Charged by cpuops + memoryops + iops + hdstorage bytes by the second. You never need to worry about how much disk you need, it's there, unlimited except by your pocket book. You never need to worry about how much compute you need - it's there, unlimited by your pocketbook. You never need to worry about how much memory you need. Backups of your drives are automatic.

All data is encrypted to allow it to live amongst all the other tenants' data. All wire traffic is encrypted.

It works exactly like ec2, except it's on-demand usage and overprovisioned and multi-tenant. Alarms and user-set limits for price and scale are respected. The only thing that will leak about the abstraction is that you'll have to mark processes as suspendable and dependent. You don't need to run your metrics collector if your app isn't running. Cron jobs should wake up the server, etc. Ssh/scp just works. You get service discovery out of the box, and your point of entry is the app lb dashboard. A real, on-demand, virtual private cloud.

> I got downvoted for saying that maybe it's time to treat serious ransomware attacks (infrastructure, security, health, etc.) as terrorism - as in the sense that they're a threat to the national security. But this kinda shows the response I was referencing to.

Terrorism has a legal definition, and something affecting national security is not the determining factor in calling something terrorism.

"Terrorism includes the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." [1]

> There are laws specifically regulating how often such checks have to be done.

But that is true in software as well, as long as you are working on safety critical systems. Sure, most software engineering is not safety critical, but that doesn't make it less engineering. In the same way that an electronics engineer doesn't stop being so just because they happen to be working in non-safety-critical systems.

In essence the argument of safety boils down to "if it can't kill people then it is not engineering", which I find rather humorous.

While we are both technical, the reason we've stayed is because we don't have to usually worry about things. Hardware support is 100% the key for us. We have a UNIX environment can just install the GNU tools and it behaves, in the most important aspects for us, as Linux. This is the first time we've been bitten by something like this in 10 years (Mid '11 MBA was our first device after wifi stopped working on her linux laptop and I didn't have time to figure it out).

It left a bad taste with me because they didn't communicate and support almost fucked it all up. A page with support would have been great and just, 'well, we don't support this or can't help you with this, but here's a support document you can read and try to understand the issue'. I also know they can definitely remove things from devices[0], so I don't know why this wasn't done for this installer.

Technical goals are means to moral ends, so I think it's great that the stuff that matters, the big picture, the point of it all, is getting more discussion nowadays.
I'm not unique in the kinds of projects I've tackled over the years. My projects tend to be technical, scientific, or legal/accounting, and tend to build on a lot of serendipitously found knowledge in articles, comments, mailing list posts, Github issues, research papers, as I read around or discover on the side while researching specific topics.

I should have said, "I asked people who like to tell me I'm doing it wrong what they do...".

There's a small subset of people I found telling me I'm wrong/insane, there's something wrong with me, I'm untidy, that I should do something else and I have a hoarding problem, etc...

Among that subset, I found they consistently had no better solutions to offer when asked, and this is because they just didn't feel the need to tackle problems involving a lot of reading material that needs to be retained, referenced from and used as an increasingly authoritative knowledge base over time in order to complete technical projects using that knowledge.

It is that lack of better solutions from armchair critics which has led me to believe I'm not necessarily "doing it wrong", even though I know perfectly well that it has problems, and what kinds of systems I would prefer to use if I could find or build them.

One of those people was quite helpful though, and rightly pointed me to knowledge-base software (that they themselves weren't using mind), but somehow seemed to think I have a lot more spare time than I do to maintain the contents, and thought I was bluffing about that. I do actually take a lot of notes already, have been doing so for many years, and I know how long it takes me. When to take notes, and when to leave things in tabs (perhaps to take notes on later), is about prioritising long-term task flows.

I'm sure there are people who have much better solutions than I've found so far, and perhaps they could show me someday. (Though, it's not likely to convince me if it involves closed-source software and locked away information, or too much time-consuming clipping process before you're allowed to move on to some other big task, as those do come up.)

But I haven't met those people yet. Only critics who don't have better solutions, and think large numbers of tabs is a sign of mental laziness or something. Whatever I am, it's not lazy. Perhaps I should go to a tab-hoarders' conference and we can devise better tools there :-)

Interesting post by DHS, WRT stating the concern is exploiting encryption to evade detection. Of course "they" will, but that doesnt make encryption bad.

Long term military intervention to prevent capture is completely possible if we're willing to pay the price. Weather and geography alone would make an amphibious invasion quite difficult.

But China could easily wreck Taiwan's infrastructure and industry without invading.
From the reddit post I link to, table of contents, Q4, subitem 4.4, in summary:

> We also know that the overall genetic diversity of the above cases cannot be explained exclusively by looking at the cases from the Hunan market. In other words, the viruses that scientists have identified from the Hunan market are not the parents of all other viruses identified since

> The most logical explanation is that the virus crossed over from nature into humans in the countryside of Hubei province much earlier than any of the Wuhan cases.

> It probably happened somewhere in the countryside, far before the virus made it to Wuhan, and far before it made it to Wuhan’s wet markets, and unrelated to the lab.

With VSCode you can develop on mac with your code in a docker volume, so no need for the code syncing that you're referring to.
The whole point of the thread is about how running Docker on a Linux VM is faster than docker for Mac.
Every niche except moderate or conservative politics. They are incredibly aggressive with censorship, along the same lines (progressive views) as the other platforms, but with even less transparency. It’s hard for me to feel comfortable with their success in garnering massive network effects when they suppress some ideologies and are okay with others.
My guess is that as time goes on Taiwan will see itself more and more as Taiwanese than Chinese. Much in the same way that many French-speaking Canadians do not see themselves as necessarily French.
SPAAS - Space Platforms As A Service
I was previously a JIRA admin, and what I very quickly found was making the workflows the least restrictive possible was the most effective. JIRA itself is quite feature rich and that can be abused, but using it to make your configuration relatively "dumb" makes the actual user experience a lot better.

I very actively pushed back on any requests to add additional states, but nonetheless there were several of them though mainly to facilitate kanban columns and way our dev and QA people worked together.

I think the biggest thing is I ended up adding a ton of transitions between workflow states. Eg: "QA in progress" straight to "Dev in progress" was allowed, as was pretty much any state to "Closed" (so long as resolution was wontfix/invalid/etc). It took lots of time to get that setup properly and ensure transition states had the right name (so the button in the UI had a logical label), but it was well worth it.

The only real workflow restriction we had was that to set an item to "closed" with status="resolved" it had to have a fixVersion assigned. This was a trivial thing to deal with day-to-day but made the list of closed tickets immeasurably better (eg, building release notes, or tracking down what versions a bug affects based on when the feature causing it was originally introduced).

Comparatively, I've used JIRA in a massively locked-down state -- where there are tons of required fields, very prescriptive workflow that often requires 3-6 transitions to get from one state to another, specific roles required to do transitions -- and it sucks. It makes the ticket content and statuses worse (not better) simply because everyone hates using it.

If people aren't following the team's process (such as devs clicking "QA passed" without doing QA), that's a people problem, and it isn't going to be solved in the JIRA workflow editor.

Some of this is a matter of taste, clearly. I strongly prefer having my system packages being rock solid; I can always fetch updated software for the very few cases where I want that.

However, my aversion to homebrew goes beyond taste: my experience with homebrew is rife with breakages. To be fair we were trying to use it in a CI system, which will very quickly reveal a buggy system. By contrast, apt/dnf are rock solid when used in CI.

An actual example: we tried providing our own recipe to install a particular version of libicu. This triggered an upgrade of some dependency; that triggered an upgrade of libicu to a different version than 68. The command exited with a successful status. A real package manager would have detected the package conflict and reported it, giving you resolution options, or errored out in a non-interactive terminal.

Why were we trying to pin versions in the first place? You guessed it, package breakages.
ah, okay. I think I misunderstood. I was thinking about the case where the data is stored in the cookie itself (i.e. an encrypted cookie), and you would need a way to verify that the contents weren't altered. If it's storing a session id, then there isn't a reason to also sign it. Sounds like they conflated the two approaches.
