> Caucasian, US born male here. IMO, Western culture is less suited to many of the challenges of the modern world. I don't want to imply that Asian culture is somehow flawless, but there is quite a bit the west can learn if it wants to be efficient and stable in the near future.

Especially to the economic situation of middle and lower class individuals. For most young people, it is simply __impossible__ to replicate even the family situations their parent generation had with a stay at home wife rearing the children and a breadwinning father -- simply because the real wage stagnation has made it impossible to finance a family without at least two 'good' incomes. Staying in the family home during university perhaps until marriage at age 30, this amounts to 10 years of more efficient spending on rent/mortgage, bills and other shared appliances. Having an extra $100k saved up at age 30 this way can make and break a family project.

Upper middle with >$500k household income at age 30-50 and above likely are in a better economic spot than they have ever been in and not really comparable to the plight of the commons.
Half of refugees, not half of immigrants. Most immigrants are employed of course, that's how you normally get in Europe.

And it's not like refugees were allowed to look for jobs immediately, getting work permit for a refugee takes awfully long in Germany.

Cost of their children is pretty much the same as for German children. And it's a necessary expenditure, otherwise the said taxpayers are going to have a pretty rough time when they retire.
I was told that ''fiding your passion is stupid'', and that ''its better to become an unhappy physician than a happy artist''. Since I've hit the job market I've spent thousands of $ in therapy and many weekends in various spiritual activities to reorient my life. And I still my first burnout at 30.

My opinion now is that sense of purpose AND being able to support yourself are essential; you have cash balance to keep in check with the tribe, and an emotional balance to keep in check with yourself. An adult should be able to do both. I think that people who do the former without doing the later may succeed economically, but on the long run they drain everybody and subconsciously expect others to take care of their own emotions. My father was like that, and his own children don't call him 'daddy'.

I also think its a very male difficulty, because boys learn to suppress emotions at a young age. It makes it harder to find meaningful careers, but also to sustain relationships and to evolve in your spirituality. Men drop out of school, do not enter the workforce, and lament that tinder is unfair. In my humble opinion, it is a purpose problem, not a ''how do I clean my room'' problem.
When I look at my own country we want the doctors and scientists but NOT the wretched refuse of teeming shores.

Americans think it's racist but actually it is just business.
Great stuff, in particular the part about arriving at a local maximum is something I've observed a lot as well.

I think I was introduced to the concept in some talk about AI, something which I never really pursued. Nevertheless, the concept stuck with me and I've been reminded of it professionally more than once.
Should we also reflect this in wages for sports and physical jobs?
Maybe some awkward decisions here and there, but the bigger goal of using FF is to save the internet from another monopoly.

It's far less bloated than the (only) competitor, and does most things right.

Yeah, I happen to have relatives who are doctors in the US. I think they get paid more than my father-in-law did, but they talk about malpractice insurance taking up a lot of that income, so I'm not sure how it nets out.

You can't legislate away practical constraints like economies of scale or basic economics. The Soviets and Maoists tried that and it doesn't work. Also at this sort of scale, of big international business, they are, well, international. Europe can legislate itself into an artificially divided, segregated, politically engineered economic corner as much as it likes but that won't help it's companies compete in America, or China, or anywhere else.
Postgres’s transactional semantics are really useful when building a queue, because of how it interacts with the various pieces.

Connection 1

LISTEN 'job-updates';

Connection 2

BEGIN;
INSERT INTO jobs ('a-uuid', …);
SELECT PG_NOTIFY('job-update', 'json blob containing uuid and state change info');
COMMIT;

Connection 3 (used when Connection 1 is notified)

BEGIN;
SELECT id, … FROM jobs WHERE id = 'a-uuid' FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED;
UPDATE 'jobs' SET state = 'step1_completed' WHERE is = 'a-uuid';
SELECT PG_NOTIFY('job-update', 'json blob containing uuid and state change info');
-- do the thing here: computation, calling external API, etc. If it fails then rollback.
COMMIT;

Because notify has transactional semantics, the notify only goes out at transaction commit time. You want to use a dedicated connection for the notify.

The only downsides I immediately think of are you will have every worker contending to lock that row, and you’ll need to write periodic jobs to cleanup/retry failures.
I tend to do like this

ssh $server "echo $(cat script|base64 -w0) | base64 -d | bash"

No scp, no quoting hell. Obviously there is other ways of doing it. And also if you run it with the base64 printed out it's possible to pass along and the user can still see what will be run.

I got good enough on escaping to really give up on it, the worst cases are just not worth the effort.
You are forgetting enslavement and genocide of indigenous populations they encountered, the Atlantic slave trade, mass land theft all in the pursuit of profit.

No indigenous population was left better off - as much wealth and resources as possible were looted.

To say that it was anything but utterly disgusting is an understatement.
If you want to use transactions for multi table updates you are probably best to use a proper rdbms. Not to mention read consistency. If you only have one table Redis may be fine. I usually find my work grows beyond one table. Redis does make an unbeatable cache.
Meh. All your objections are hand wavey and not factual.

Databases actually work fine as a queue but emotionally you don’t like it. That’s fine it’s just not real strong objections.

What you have not said is “it physically does not work”, and that’s because it does work fine.
I wondered when these shells would make a comeback.

Containerized apps could do with a similar interface.
All right but it is illegal to exchange fiat for cocaine still it seems to be happening quite a lot.
The UK-style constitutional monarchy can be argued as being in reality (rather than on paper) more democratic than the US-style republic:

Although the "I may be one some day" point is true, its also very unrealistic to the point of being near-impossible; and in the UK case we aren't talking about a small percentage of the population (as in, eg. the US) that has the dreamed of status that won't ever be attained, just a handful of individuals who have it. That's just the ultra-billionaires and celebrities and doesn't take into account the clear familial traditions of those who are elected to run the country and their senior staff (Kennedys, Bushes, Trumps etc.).

So its kind of comparing 10 people in the entire country (UK) who have a status that you know will never have vs several hundred (US) who have it; just the latter has a smaller-than-lottery (?) chance of the average Joe getting there compared to next-to-zero (revolution or massive constitutional change) of the former.

Having established that the former set are "different", we then unify and either venerate them or revolt against them according to personal preference.

When you then add in the regal mystique, charisma and authority granted to holders of office with actual power like, say, [fill in your bogeyman President here], having a separate unelected, symbolic but powerless national figurehead - who genuinely represents all of us - starts to look like a much more attractive - and democratic - proposition.
Rightly so. It's absolutely pathetic, and it's because of the lack of competition through the scale of those who own and control the market, combined with the government keeping their hands off the market-controllers.

Purely rent-seeking and stagnant. Pathetic. Damagingly awful.
If you store protos in your Redis keys (like most people using “NoSQL” for data storage), this comment doesn’t have much punch. Pretty sure we all can think of some pretty high profile examples of NoSQL + structured data working very very well at scale.
Really interesting content, but its almost even more amazing how many ads they were able to squeeze in there at least on mobile.
> For example in recent weeks a whole lot of people were surprised to see the lab leak hypothesis go straight from "debunked conspiracy theory" to Biden ordering it to be investigated, apparently without any intermediate points.

I absolutely believe this was from a lab leak and I also closely follow the science.

The question is, why would you want a potentially man-made virus (via gain of function research) in your system at all?

With the vaccine, you teach your immune system to see Covid-19 right away and take care of it at first sight.

Without it, you have to GET Covid-19, have it embed itself inside all of your vital organs, then have your immune system hopefully slowly learn and take care of it. Meanwhile it is sitting in your heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and pancreas doing damage that is coming to light in more and more studies.

Your an adult. Your choice, but in my mind this is a poor choice.
That's a bullshit analogy. The current Italian state is not a direct successor to the Roman Empire, while it's the same damn government in the UK.

Besides, it wasn't that long ago. It was done by your parents and grandparents, and you are still enjoying the fruits of that exploitation.

libsodium is from DJB & Tanja Lange, it doesn't get better/more trusted than that without preferring to trust some state entity of choice. (For some reason ranging from regulatory requirement to hopelessly misguided.)

This is a very interesting article, but I was kind of turned off by the ease with which it described killing people. "To get a solid kill, just put the plane in the dot and squeeze the trigger, super simple!"

I've seen detergent bottles that were more apprehensive about their process of use.
Just one correction; targeted ads have enabled the existence of many small businesses.

Want to launch a board game aimed at left-handed nerds in a specific city? Before, you’d need a big media campaign that would also reach many right-handed non-nerds, wasting a lot of money. Now, you just need a few thousand $’s worth of targeted ads.
Some of the NHS health care is shocking. I watched my dad dying on a ward with utterly shit jobs worth nursing staff. After enough of that he ended up in ICU with great care and died. Northern Ireland's NHS is an utter shambles. 3 week wait to see a GP. Surgery wait times of years. It's a crisis. I've got private health cover. Though don't be critical of the NHS, you ll be branded a heretic.
> Meanwhile, the big open-source desktop C++ libraries (Qt and WxWindows) still don't fully take advantage of the types and features in the standard library in 2021.

Of course not. C++ and libraries don't go along nicely. STL is not really useful for cross boundary interop due the fact that C++ ABI is not stable.

Shipping libraries that leak STL types all over the place will only give you headache.
I don't get the mindset where you finally ship but botch the launch marketing. The window of opportunity is so small and rarely comes back, that you really need to get the basics right, e.g. closely monitor launch posts, answer within minutes, be truthful, thank people if they provide useful feedback, etc.

We’re clearly talking about technological work here.
British equally carried out similar atrocities there is so much evidence of this. But none of it is taught in British or Australian schools, I also was brought up with the myth of "British weren't as bad as so and so"

Here is the map of British massacres in Australia that have written evidence (so you can double, triple the actual number). They have this right across their empire.

https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/map.php

If detail accounts I recommend reading "Conspiracy of Silence" a detailed account of massacres throughout colonial Queensland in Australia, the accounts and actions and just as horrifying.

That's like making major code updates on a Friday afternoon after a really long and hectic dev cycle.
So you're saying parties in Europe are interchangeable?

We know what happens with Covid due to science, modeling and stuff. But a virus spread is oretty easy to model compared to a society and its economy. So until now it worked really nice, haven't seen a lot of studies saying it won't in the future, rather the opposite.

Edit: or do you mean because we're getting older and hace fewer kids? Yeah that'll be a challange. Bit eventually every country will experience that, so lets figure out how to deal with this! And yeah, also let immigrants in ;)

This is exactly the same 5 year old BS that we heard from Trump times.

Even the USA ambassador was embarrassed and grilled by the journalist in the Netherlands to provide one example of “politicians being burned” and “no-go zones” in the Netherlands.

This echoes my feelings on the matter. It's infuriating how useless much of the curriculum is. Kids spend hundreds or thousands of hours of their lives sitting in chairs absolutely bored out of their minds having to cram useless stuff to spill on the test and then forget.

Meanwhile there's no time and place to learn reasoning skills, critical reading, actual in-depth history (not just memorising names of kings and dates of battles), philosophy (again, being able to make a reasoned argument, not cramming stuff), economics, etc.

> For some years I had noted that the effect of the early introduction of arithmetic had been to dull and almost chloroform the child's reasoning faculties.

There's something very wrong when you suck out all the natural curiosity and will to learn from a group of children.
Thanks for the clarification.

That said, as an aside, I find it a bit worrying sometimes that the basic facts of our public conversation are provided without sources, or even in many cases, particular care or diligence.
I’m not saying it doesn’t work. I’m saying you’re shooting your toes off down the line.
> Shell parsing is hard.

No, shell parsing isn't hard. The SSH protocol is broken: "Now, the SSH wire protocol only takes a single string as the command"

This needs to be fixed. It should have an execve mode.
During the US's best period of economic growth in the 50s I don't think they had the crowds of bums thing.
I run a newsletter. We swore to find the least ad spammed website when we cover current news and link out. It’s getting more difficult by the day.
The key takeaway here is that the SSH client doesn't quote the arguments that constitute the command line when it transforms an argument vector to a string, which might be rather unexpected.

Why the "exec" SSHv2 request only takes a string and not a vector of strings is anybody's guess. Perhaps for Windows compatibility, perhaps because the data representation used for the SSHv2 protocols didn't have a variable-length array syntax (though what would've been wrong with a "string cmdline" where each arg is separated by a NUL?).
It could be just a coincidence that one of the most stable and longest democracies also has a monarchy.
Australian lottery winner who won TWICE and survived coma (1999)
Creating jobs isn't monetizing. It's the opposite, it's SPENDING money. People as a rule paying rent more easily and having better paying jobs is what the EU looks like. The scale factor of US mega-companies is about heightened efficiencies of scale making the companies not HAVE to 'create as many jobs' as a hundred smaller companies would have to create. You've got it all backwards as far as how the giant US companies are competing.

You DO NOT compete by paying more to the workers and having more workers than the competition. EU is doing the things you say are good, and that's why they are not competing as well with the giant US firms.
Why aren't house prices included in inflation?
A private corporation committing atrocities is still the country or empire that sets the rules. It's still British people carrying out / orchestrating the violence.

It is funny, every time I have used beanstalk over the years I have put it in thinking I'll replace it later. I never have. Multiple startups I have left years ago are still running it, untouched years later. No one mentions it probably because it didn't do anything but run. I wish the same could be said for RabbitMQ.
I thought most OTH can see stealth planes because they usually aren’t optimised for being scanned from the top, but rather more front, back and bottom face scanning.

I don’t know much about stealth though so I could be completely wrong.

Your first paragraph pretty much sums up what docker is, it’s a convenient way to design and build a system, but it is not a security mechanism.

If you’re building a system that’s handling classified information, there is probably not an accreditation authority in the world that would let you use containers or even hypervisors as a way to separate different information classes.
The end of the Empire is not precisely defined (Suez? Wind of Change? Hong Kong? When Northern Ireland finally stops being part of the UK?), but British/Empire forces have faced and lost cases since WW2, the most recent cases that I know of being last decade (but I don’t keep close track of this sort of thing, so may be this decade).

The current British government does not appear to wish to face up to anything, but that isn’t merely limited to war crimes or crimes against humanity committed by those who are now half forgotten statues — this particular one also denies its own election pledges.
I believe in the vernacular "kill" refers to destruction of the enemy aircraft not ending the life of the crew (they are correlated, of course).
> Due to that, statistically, Europe does worse than the US wealth inequality

I had a quick look at Wikipedia's wealth Gini figures and this isn't the case. Places like the Netherlands and Sweden score atrociously, but the three big European economies (France, Germany, and the UK) all have less wealth inequality than the US (significantly so for the first two), as do a whole host of other European countries.
Wouldn't surprise me - it's the eternal cat and mouse game between defense and offence and stealth as a concept isn't new anymore.

It's not about been totally hidden (sans a cloaking device that is never going to happen) it's about been less detectable after all.

If the distance the stealth platform can see you from is greater than the distance you can reliably detect them from you are already dead - the missile simply hasn't arrived yet.
Because the cost of living is set by what other people spend. If I earn $3k a month and my neighbor earns $3k a month, and I want to save $300, I only have $2700 to spend. My neighbor can offer more for limited resources (housing), and thus I can only save if I don't have to pay for that housing.
I’m not sure what you mean by there being no public key cryptography here. In the Crypto constructor, a random secret key is generated, and then the generator for Curve25519 is scalar multiplied on the elliptic curve by this secret key to generate a public key. That’s the standard process for X25519 key generation, and it’s what Libsodium does to generate a secret key/public key pair [1].

To establish a shared secret session key, the standard ECDH procedure is used, as seen in Crypto::setRemotePublicKey, where we multiply the other party’s public key by our secret key on curve25519 to establish a shared secret. This shared secret is then used for encryption, since symmetric encryption is generally cheaper + more secure than asymmetric.

I absolutely agree that this project needs a more formal cryptographic approach, and should be using a higher level construct (e.g: crypto_secretstream, also from libsodium), but as far as I can tell at first glance, this is a working implementation of X25519.

I'd be curious to see services designed to run as PID 1 inside containers, and contain or run nothing else other than the required binaries. Maybe someone is doing this.

Sounds like things you hate are tied to your current job. I wouldn't discount an entire industry because of that.

Because as others have mentioned your environment is toxic, when you raise these issues openly, be wary of empty promises and other games to maintain status quo. Since you are experienced, I'm sure there are many companies out there that will welcome you.
I don't think he's saying 'it cannot be physically made to work (given enough effort and discipline)'. The impression I got was more like 'if you go down this route then the incremental path of least resistance leads somewhere bad'.
