Excellent write up on howto. A note from me, Windows also supports GIDS smartcards since a while too. Which means that Google titan key (Feitian ePass FIDO-NFC) will also work now (both as as smartcard, and a fido key.)
Not really the case, mathematical terminology and conventions change over time.
Because all of those require level of knowledge that is hard to acquire without external resources. You wont get better just iterating.

Or the rather more gloomy explanation that there is no economic way of breaking out of most gravity wells & interstellar life is practically impossible. So there are lots of little earth-like civilisations out there, but too rare for us to detect them, and none ever grow large.
What does WebRTC--or any protocol for that matter--have to do with your container solution? When I develop a protocol now, do I have to "design it to integrate into kubernetes"?! FWIW, WebRTC works great for client-to-server deployment, as using it like that means you don't have to worry at all about the oft-cited peer-to-peer NAT incompatibility issues.

This will be fixed in an update of Erlang.
Instead of seeing the bright side of life, in which this person clearly vastly improved their situation in life, all they can see is what they don’t have.

“I knew I was the only poor person at my tech startup because I had the only fat body in the building.”

I’m sorry, but no, being poor doesn’t make you fat. Your eating choices make you fat. Poor people have agency too. Agency is not something you buy. This is coming from someone who probably makes half of what you make in a year.
OK. I know I said I wouldn't engage more.

I lied. I liked your response.

What I wrote was completely self-expository. It really is who I am, and I'm used to writing that way. It was not a challenge, and it was not an attack on anything (I can easily do "attack" -I'm an old UseNet troll).

As I mentioned above (below?), it saddens me that people see self-exposition from others as weakness and a vector for attack. That's one of the reasons that I'm no longer interested in working for anyone else in this industry, and why I no longer want to be a manager.

Things are nasty these days. Hyper-competitive. We can't just be good at something. We need to be better than someone else.

We can't just be enthusiastic. We need to be combative. Everything is a gladiatorial contest. Thumbs up/down.

After leaving that silo I'd been in for 27 years, I started looking for work, and rapidly discovered what this industry I love has become.

I don't really want to play in the cesspool, but I love to code.

I guess I am "taking my toys and going home," but I am very, very fortunate in being able to do so.

I'm working on a fairly ambitious project, right now, that will (I hope) help out a lot of folks. I have some prior art in the area. I'm working for a non-profit, for free.

And loving it.
Embarrassing. My heart is supposed to break for you because nobody else wanted to eat your kind of Cheetos? One of the most materially fortunate people who ever lived, richer than pharaohs and emperors of the past, still finds some way to write this tedious thing about being poor... at a startup... probably in California. Could you at least go visit rural areas of Cambodia or Nepal or something to get some vague notion of what being poor is like? Hint: it means you can't buy anything because you don't have any money, and there's hardly any way to get any.

I find the theological aspects fascinating. If there are alien races, do they get their own Jesuses (Jesii?), or did we get the only Son of God? If there are multiple Jesii, are they considered to be the same person (to make the Trinity) or is the Trinity a little larger than 3? Did all the Jesii occur at the same time? Or at the same developmental point of the alien race (assuming a standard civilisational progression for all species)? Are there sapient, spacefaring aliens who have yet to have their own Jesus, and are therefore still in the "virtuous pagans" category?

I realise this is kinda poking holes in Christian theology (always fun), and there are these kinds of questions for all religions. Can an alien reach Nirvana through meditation? Are there alien Buddhas? Are there Mecca-equivalents on all inhabited planets, or do aliens need to know the direction to our Mecca to pray?

The woo-woo "aliens are gonna come and teach us how to be better humans" is less interesting, I think. The underlying psychological need for some beneficent parental authority figure to come and solve our problems is almost too obvious.
It's crazy sometimes the gap between an appropriate hourly pay and the monetary value of the output. I'm sure OP would have come up with something in between as well, but being put on the spot and caught completely off guard like that for the first time I think the $100 was a fine deal.
Yeah, it clearly made all involved people uncomfortable. If I knew this I would have serious questions for my next HR one-on-one: "I am not going to work next to an exploited person - are you going to pay up or should I take the next recruiter call I get today?"
Likewise. It’s superb, and I haven’t had an issue getting developers (though half have been Ruby devs who picked it up easily).
> burying it deep underground where it's unlikely to be found.

Most people who want their works to last forever want people to read and use and enjoy them. Burying and having it forgotten doesn't meet that criteria.

Making millions of copies and burying some, with incentives for future people to make more copies and bury some again seems more likely to succeed.

And the blockchain isn't far from that.
When they come across humans, they usually have nothing to laugh about anymore.

That's IMO the worst behaviour of the rich listed in this article. I've heard stories that at Google, the non-engineering workers at campus may not socialize with engineers at all. What kind of society is this that Google is building? Aren't you even allowed to acknowledge someone else's humanity?

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why doesn't nVidia just make the best cards they can, and sell them for the highest price they can? What does nVidia care if their customers are using their cards for gaming or mining?

The problem is that good negative results are also a lot of effort to achieve. You need to figure out if you have a real negative result, and not just some error or mistake in your experiments. And spending that additional effort when the result by itself is not interesting might not be justified.

I would be curious about this one. What did happened in the gym? Not really doubting, some people in gyms are quite unfriendly when you dont look fit. But I am still curious what happened there.
Fair points, if I were being more careful I'd probably phrase it in terms of "we should minimize incentives for regulatory capture that leads to mass incarceration." As I get older I'm increasingly less idealistic a lot more comfortable with the fact that the world is a generally irrational and unfair place, but this is a topic that still rather gets my goat.
About 25 years ago, we were looking for a new car. We visited a couple of dealerships in the Washington, DC, area without buying. We then visited on in "West Shore" suburbs of Harrisburg. The saleswoman made the sale when we all sat down in her office, and she waited for us to speak first--it was almost unnerving to hear silence from auto sales staff.
When David Murray (8-bit-guy) first announced his 'dream computer' I was quite excited. His early descriptions were akin to something like a C128 but with more colours, faster CPU and modern connections, all in a single case, like the C128(not D) or C64. Plug into a screen or TV and just 'go'.

Somewhere along the way serious scope-creep happened, and now we've got something that looks and feels just like a mini-ITX Desktop PC running some sort of BASIC 'shell' (even though it's not). It just doesn't exude any Retro-vibes. I could build something almost identical out of off-the-shelf parts, and run a bare-metal Retro-OS emulator on it, and the end experience would be 99% the same.

It's a real shame... and like other commenters have said, I can't see this ending up as a commercial success.
I never said "that some British officer threw up his hands and said "I don't know whose land this is, here you have it"."

Land and property was stolen after world war 2 by the allied. History has painted most of that as being acceptable because the Nazis was bad and the allied good and so anything that occurred after victory was good. Land and property was stolen and the people who lived there were forced to fleeing their lands and to never be allowed to return.

For most of those, yes, we are supposed to just accept that those people and all their dependents are condemned to eternal refugee status. It seems that most conceded land has simply been accepted as belonging to the victors as any person who actually lived there is now dead given that it been almost 100 years. What makes the Palestinians situation a bit more unique among conceded land is that the people actually did not get removed a 100 years ago and so the conflict is still alive today. People are trying to remove them today.

As a concrete example of conceded land, Finland conceded much more land to Russia than the area size of Gaza, and the Finnish population (Karelians) had to flee while people from Ukraine, Belarus and Russia settled the captured land. Today the conceded Finnish land is still owned by Russia. The conflict is however pretty dead because Finland do not want to own a bunch of land where everyone is Russian-speaking, and the cost of bringing the standard of living to the same level as in Finland would be pretty expensive. Any descendant that used to live there will just have to accept it, and the idea of forcing out the Ukraine/Belarus/Russia descendants that live there today is so far away from reality that it thankfully does not exist.

In my own opinion, trying to find a solution based on who owned what a 100 years ago is unlikely to be productive. There was a world war, a lot of people died, and most everything about it was tragic except that the Nazis lost. The conflict today is not going to be solved by trying to fix history, but rather by finding a solution for those living there today.
That's a weird thing to say. Do people in the US go around wishing prison for others? Here it's more like society is cornered into imprisoning some people in self-defense, because it hasn't figured out how to get those individuals to collaborate and live cordially with others.

> Stefany and I disagree over some of the design at the moment. For example she has an integrated floppy drive, MIDI ports, SID chips, and a whole host of other things that I don’t feel are necessary and will inflate the cost of the computer.

> Even if she agreed to all of my design changes, it would still be a computer that would be $80 or more for somebody to buy, well above the original price point I was hoping to target.

In my experience, that alone can act as a powerful blocker. Although I'm quite sure that the jargon thing is being used as a proxy for something more substantial, I doubt that it's a useful one. I suspect it's actually more of a social-group thing (are you “in” or are you “out”) than anything else.

One question about the “Q.C.D.”, though (quantum chromodynamics?). Could it be that you meant q.e.d. — quod erat demonstrandum (≈ “what was to be proven”)? Lowercase to distinguish it from the acronym for quantum electrodynamics.

> No they shouldn't, China sells products in the global market. The emissions belong to them, along with the price they charge for the product.

Well, emissions caused by burning oil would belong to Saudi Arabia, then. I believe the ultimate consumer of a product bears responsibility for its emissions. Without a consumer, the product would not have been made.
I absolutely love Quanta. Everything I read from them seems to strike the right balance for an interested layman to get enough from, without feeling like I'm being tricked into a false sense of understanding.
I have glasses from Zenni. Very cheap, and well made. My current glasses cost ~10% of what the previous pair cost me in NZ, and the lenses are better quality. The glasses cost less than the optometrist visit, and I bought a second identical pair as a backup.

The trick to being the only poor person is to not let on. Once people know, they exploit the hell out of you. They don't seem to do it consciously; somehow it just happens. I made that mistake a few times during my time in SF.

> > I knew I was the only poor person at my tech startup because I made more there than I’d ever made before; a daring amount I had been afraid to ask for during the offer process. I discovered through misadventure that I still made less than any of the executive assistants, or the receptionist. I was, in fact, the lowest-paid person in the building including the interns. I hadn’t known what was possible, so I couldn’t even think to ask for what I was worth to them.

A lot of these issues would probably have been fixed if they just earned market rate. It seems that they were very underpaid. It is unsurprising that they felt poor when they earned the least of anyone in the company.
Oh ignoring the cleaning staff is utter kindness compared to what WeWork did: costumed them in outfits featuring slogans like “Do what you love” etc. while refusing them $10/hr pay.
Anedoctal but my two last GPUs burnt out after a few years. Bought new GPUs from reputable suppliers. Never mined or overclocked besides factory overclock (which for most of the time I had disabled). I was playing a lot more than 1-2 hrs/day. I guess it was the worse of both worlds. Heavy usage + cycling.
A lot of effort is being put forth in this thread to discredit the article and its author. It's weird how defensive an article from the 1940s about actual, literal, card-carry big-N Nazis is making people.
You can also point out that there are 2 law systems ... one of them makes it a crime, punishable by death, to give someone of the other group shelter (whether letting them stay, or even selling them a house).

> The Fermi Paradox always seemed like an incredibly simple-minded idea to me

I agree, but for different reasons. My favourite way to dissolve the Fermi Paradox is to simple state that the main assumption, i.e. "the lack of evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations", is just wrong :)
I tried this on my macbook pro today - latest OS version. First I installed openssh with brew. Then I found I could barely get the new ssh key working with GitHub, frequently getting `sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for ECDSA-SK / invalid format` errors while trying to commit and not actually being prompted to press the Yubikey, despite it being plugged in and ready. I keep my mini Yubikey USB-C in my laptop persistently which I wonder could be the issue.

Anybody else having similar issues?

Looking into Elixir, but from what i've heard, Elixir isn't very memory efficient when it comes to web servers.

Is that still the case?

Also where does one host Elixir apps these days? Heroku, Vercel or Bare metal?
Several versions ago Jose talked about how Elixir is basically "done", which is so refreshing these days!

But since then, the developer experience has improved by leaps and bounds through all these improvements other than the core language. As a professional Elixir developer for the last 4 years, I'm loving it. A few improvements in the last few versions off the top of my head that have been really nice:

* Robust, timezone handling DateTime support in the standard library. I don't need Timex anymore!

* Finally a good approach for configuring applications ar run time (e.g. with ENV vars), that works for dev, test, prod and releases, via config/runtime.exs.

* Better compiler warnings verging on a little "light" type checking

* Mix.install in this release finally makes Elixir work well for one-off little scripts, since you can just throw a Mix.install([:jason, :mojito]) on top.

* LiveView is amazing, and I now keep open a LiveBook notebook for doodling in code, exploring an API, CSV, etc

* Not really Elixir, but I'm jazzed about Erlang/OTP 24 JIT support for better performance.

Basically, if you took a look at Elixir a few years ago and thought it wasn't ready, might be worth another peek now.

I dunno, how many Jews do they probably employ? Say 100k Google employees, say 2.5% of the US population is Jewish - maybe 2.5k employed at Google?

So 250 signatures out of ~2.5k Jews is order-of-magnitude 10% of the Jews people employed at Google.

So if they were literally all Jewish, which they probably aren't, this still doesn't really tell us what Jews at Google think. Even if we do care what Jewish Googlers think. There is nothing here.

I don't really see this as a valid criticism of the list though. A person identified a bunch of ways they are not like almost all of the rest of their coworkers.

Do they have the information, experience, or responsibility to accurately categorize the specific cultural origin of every single one of those differences? Does it make the argument weaker if they miss a couple? Maybe a little but it's still strong.

Your software based key is exposed unencrypted to the host OS and any software running on it. It likely sits in memory unencrypted for some period of time. Malware that steals your key can "clone" it.

A dedicated hardware device never exposes the key to the OS itself - if your host gets compromised, power it off, re-image or replace it, and your keys are still protected - malware on the host didn't steal the underlying key. It might have pre-signed some attestations or similar (hopefully your token requires hardware user input like pushing a button to use it), but it won't have had any access to your key, so can't "clone" it.

The one thing I’ll say about Elixir I’m always impressed how disciplined they are with the issue tracker on GitHub. Currently 17 issues for such a broad piece of work seems nothing less than astonishing.
I find the Fermi paradox quite shallow too, but for different reasons. Even if a twin sister civilization of humankind existed somewhere on a different planet revolving around a different star, how would we detect it? Space is huge, and hoping to detect some signs of intelligence close to a distant star is like trying to photograph a firefly that flies around a lighthouse, from miles away in the sea, only about 1 trillion times more challenging.

You just need to see what faint a signal we receive form the Voyagers, which are deliberately pointing their antennas at us and are thousands of times closer to us than any star to appreciate how improbable it would be for us to ever detect extraterrestrial communication.
