Capsicum shows that the capability model can be practically implemented within Unix, ignoring bugs (i.e. ignoring monolithic vs microkernel consequences). But the poor uptake of Capsicum and the popularity of Docker also show how impractical it is for the current ecosystem of software, even though conceptually it should be a relatively easy shift. It's far easier to enforce and adopt in the context of smartphones and IoT, where APIs are already highly restricted. But these restrictions also reflect a substantially limited capacity to innovate--only the platform provider can innovate locally; everybody else has to treat the environment as a dumb terminal with accelerated graphics. Even the underlying capability frameworks are largely hidden; capabilities are an implementation detail of the exposed APIs from the perspective of the application--unless the application developer is also the platform developer like with Google and Chrome.
I didn't realize Tether owns eleven aircraft supercarriers and collects tax revenue from 330 million people. Pretty impressive for a company that operates out of a backroom somewhere in the Bahamas.

It's not an issue of legally allowed. It's the very spirit of the community that allows for this. The FOSS community has worked very hard to create a system where permission isn't needed because it's already there, baked into the system. So while yes, some large corporations abuse this, I also don't consider Amazon to be part of the FOSS community, and I definitely consider NixOS to be a part of the FOSS community. To declare that you will go so far as changing the license to prohibit certain persons or projects from using your software is an affront to the FOSS community itself. If the whole FOSS community degraded into "It's free for everyone except you and you and you because I don't like you or maybe you're gonna make my life difficult" then we would have no FOSS at all.

I can understand the author's concern, and NixOS offered to maintain it's own fork to mitigate it, and the author rejected the idea. That tells me that it was more of a temper-tantrum stemming from some other deeper issue than just a concern about support.
The context is worse than that single comment. It's a "tear you down to bring you up" entire comment. Hurtful to someone we can only assume is genuinely seeking out help.

The current theory is neither out of India nor Aryan Invasion. It's almost universally agreed that IndoAryan migrations were slow defusion of Indo Aryan tribes into today's India, and mixed with native people.

> modern/collaborative programming or project work has passed me by and I suspect I'm unemployable now.

You’re not missing out on anything. If something you’d be unpleasantly surprised how convoluted team work and new pipelines have become. Being independent is a healthy path to keep away from toxicity. But I agree about the unemployabiloty nagging feeling, it’s psychologically unpleasant to feel that but should you ever reenter the corp pool you’d hate it with all your guts.
I think you're right, they can't collide.
This is intellectually lazy. You can't just assume that the large numbers of people who hold a position you disagree with do so only because they have some secret bias. It's a position which is not falsifiable and which absolves oneself of having to think critically about their own position.
I started using zsh with oh-my-zsh as it made me realize how powerful, ergonomic and productive my shell could be. I was annoyed by the slowness. I thought of moving to barebones zsh with the few plugins. My colleague suggested that I used prezto. I have been using prezto ever since with my preferred plugins enabled. And, I have been happy with my setup. It has all the features I need without the slowness of oh-my-zsh. I ended up getting all the features of fish shell using plugins. I didn't want to use fish because it's syntax is not compatible with bash which I have to write at work.

Give prezto a try. You might like it.
My guess is that it's some effort to maintain some kind of compatibility with ARM32. Back when I used to write ARM asm, it was the ARM 26/32 days, and it was rXX for all the register named in the APCS.

It doesn't seem to be as confusing as the x86 situation anyway: none of the registers are _really_ special purpose on ARM.

Here's a link to the details in the ARM64 APCS: https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aapcs64/aap...

I would agree that the author's reasons aren't good enough, because when they proposed a solution that would mitigate the reason, he rejected it. That implies that there's far more to it than the reason given.

Tips to prevent adoption of your API
I read through some of the comments on an earlier post. It seems that this is meant to compete with Perforce and Plastic SCM and assumes that there will never be enough focus on large binary files in git based solutions for git to compete with the commercial tools. Is this a reasonable summary?

Also, since you are in the space, how bad is svn for this use case?
The incentive system that academic scientists live under explains why they don't push for studying metascience.

What are the limits to this abolition of competition? How could you possibly eliminate all zero sum games? Watching toddlers ‘compete’ makes me believe competition is very human and a natural extension of desire.

Yeah I can definitely think of catastrophic scenarios where a ship couldn't help you, it's just the article makes it sound like an impossibility.

> However, if the pack’s three pounds of fuel runs out, if another astronaut doesn’t quickly grab you, or if the air lock is irreparably damaged, you’re in big trouble. No protocols can save you now.

Perhaps the author meant and there. If SAFER stabilizes you but you don't have enough fuel to get back to the ship, the ship could possibly still get back to you.

The value of tether is a function of how close the supply is to the underlying assets. The only thing that matters at the moment is that you can redeem for dollars now, not whether you can do so in ten years.

I'd rather prefer it died already so the crypto ecosystem can purge itself off it, but I can't make a bet as to when that will happen. It'll be a bloodshed in the short term but it'll recover in time.

Wow, they really used IRS/DMV as a model for their HR UX..

I like that he calls them "coin". Because they definitely aren't cryptocurrency and have almost nothing to do with cryptocurrency. They're all just off-chain market inventions created by financial people because they refuse to understand what cryptocurrency is and want something more like their normal, easily manipulated, financial markets and derivatives.
Perhaps someone already mentioned this elsewhere, but nothing forces you to use only a single shell. A shell, after all, is just a running process. Yoh can even launch it from another shell.

As a GNU screen user already, I can imaginr having one of my default windows that load when I launch screen be nushell if I was so inclined. I can keep the rest as my default (e.g., bash or htop or whatever else I wany running there).
So, you are saying that the TV license you are paying for is actually being used by the renters in the house you own. Is that a fair statement? That puts a bit of a different spin on it.
I was curious how they would actually implement this, if it's actually onion routing that's pretty cool.

Similarly, I heard someone the other day assert that no one had done an double blind placebo controlled trial of the effects of FDA regulation.
You're setting up a false dichotomy. The choose was between Gorbachev and Yeltsin. Between the two, the majority preferred Gorbachev.

Compared to the people killed by Yeltsin economic tyranny, the people that died in the collapse were a rousing error.

Even nowadays, if you poll those who were adults during the fall of the USSR, the majority would have preferred it not to fall.

The will of RFE is to further American dominance. If that's what you want, it follows it, otherwise it doesn't.
> the difference is that I can do the minimum wage job and they couldn't do mine

[citation needed]

A lot of low-wage work is skilled physical labor. I for one would need months to years of physical training before I would be strong enough to perform many of those jobs, and then it would take me months to years of practice before I could do them efficiently and effectively.

If you were to give a day laborer the same amount of time to learn to code, they might be a pretty competent developer.
Technology is neither source of good nor evil. Just like a hammer ain't to blame or prise. It's about its application and how tech is developed and applied is decided based on "politics" if you want.

However, ever-evolving technology leads to globalisation and acceleration of processes. With shitty tech we can make lots of mistakes and pay small, local consequences. Shitty nails result in a shitty coffin. Shitty fridges result in an ozone hole. Our margin of error for doing the "politics" right is shrinking every day.
Webhooks are easy-ish to send and retry. Building the UX to help users successfully use webhooks is not simple. You need debugging tools, retry handling, notifications when they break (but not the first time they break, when they break repeatedly), etc.

The tech industry is grooming people for a highly paying kind of job. That is much less problematic (maybe even not a problem at all) than grooming people for a low paying high demanding job.

Well (a) SMS doesn't work with me (b) A lot of SMS messages to my Twilio numbers get dropped so it's a shitty protocol (c) SMS based on a SIM card number can't be used if the SIM card is changed (d) SMS is limited in how many bytes it can send while with e-mail you can easily send megabytes.

If it's too formal that's their problem.

Also, I would never give one of my 10+ phone numbers to someone who I wouldn't give an e-mail address to, except maybe my one junk/spam number.

Well, you're placing the same level of confidence in your experiments as a physicist would, because 0.1% is really good experimental error. That's near certainty.

>When you think about it, it's insane that metascience isn't studied more. We're going to question every little detail about the universe, but we're just going to take on faith that peer-review and publication in journals is an effective method for weeding out "bad" science?

In a sense we do have this: engineering and finance. Engineering turns good hard science into new tools, machines and weapons, and Finance turns good (predictive) soft science into new ways to make money.
we used livescribes which were very usable. However instead of constantly improving their physical device they wasted a few years trying to make a platform for apps.

The pens were fat and they should have invested in making really nice form factors.

1) you wrote on their special dot paper. I filled many moleskin notebooks

2) You could record at the same time that you wrote

3) the writing was digitized

4) You could touch anywhere in the notebook and the audio that was recorded at the time you were taking notes would play.

Livescribes are really amazing, but I think their marketing was crap. Every college student, business analyst etc should be using one by now.

Right, but in this case even a minimal deviation from period will be catastrophic. I do however like the idea of jumping "up" (north) while facing the earth and landing in the same spot 45 min later.
Therin lies the rub. With options, you're making a double bet :first that it is overvalued, and second that you got the timing right.

If you're wrong on either, you lose money. You don't get the really huge blowout risk due to the stable nature, but the other two still apply.

Oh sure, but "e-mail on a phone" is newer, and since it solved literally every problem SMS had, I deprecated SMS.

> If that still isn't enough, shop around for small warships or gun boats. Or mount a gun pod on your planes. A rapid-firing 20mm cannon can do a significant amount of damage since they can use explosive shells.

Yeah, you can pretty effectively and safely (to you) threaten un- or lightly-armed ships with a 1930s-vintage biplane. Don't need fancy or expensive equipment to do that, if you're willing to go so far as actually firing on violating vessels. A handful of cheap used Cessnas with light "dumb" bombs attached would probably be damn effective at getting fishing vessels to go away and not come back for a while, even—again, if you're willing to actually attack. It's got to be restraint, not cost, preventing damaging or sinking the violating vessels, even for fairly small nations.
They had different ideas / approaches.
Part of the draw for me is a device that does very few things with hardware/software optimized for doing those few things well.

In a lot of ways that's the opposite of Android. It doesn't mean that an Android implementation as the base OS has to be bad, but it requires extra effort to constrain it to be good. I've also had performance issues with Android in the past, but maybe that's better now.
This is similar to what we tried (and failed) to achieve with Blocks UI[0] at Gatsby.

The critical piece almost all current-gen UI editing tools are missing is that there needs to be a sync between changes in the code and changes in the design. John Otander and Chris Biscardi built a complex system based on Babel to manage syncing visual changes to the code.

I wonder how Utopia solved this! How do you "move" the visual changes made in the editor to the code?

That's all fair. At the same time, there tends to be a certain amount of gripe-age with any job and some people are more inclined to try to work through it and others are more inclined to start job-hunting. Which is perfectly fine but, if it's a persistent pattern, I probably won't hire you.

To be clear, I'm talking about a persistent pattern. Even those of us with fairly long-term employment (~10 year stints) in general often have one or two short stints for various reasons. E.g. dot-bomb in my case although the job wasn't a great fit anyway.
Agreed. The article addresses that by suggesting that purchasing trains from Japan or Euro producers would meet both enviro and labor standards.

> this armed and dangerous mass shooter was still at large amongst the public

And quickly picked up from his summer school class in Kileen.

The phrase mass shooter seems to be a suitcase phrase, a lot of different meanings are packed into the same scary words. Additional information is needed to understand the risk profile. Was the mass shooter on a continuous rampage, or performed a horrific act from which they fled, or periodically performs the same act? It seems in this case there was a mass shooting from which the suspect(s) fled. What is the risk profile to address in such a case and what tradeoffs are socially acceptable and feasible to address the risk?

A-AS made a call to not describe the suspect and also a call to perform some virtue signaling as justification. I think the former is reasonable given the risk profile but the latter is a poor reason outside the specific circumstances.

The part that confused me the most, as someone who has never done research science, was how the questions were casually categorized as gender, ethnicity or no-identity salient.

If someone is from Brazil and is of second or third generation Japanese descent, how much of the questions are 'salient' to Brazilian identity vs Japanese? There's an unspoken implication that part of the 'good at math' stereotype relies to some degree on speaking a non-English language at home, which I don't think is a safe assumption at all.

> In the Asian identity-salient condition, participants (n = 16) were asked (a) whether their parents or grandparents spoke any languages other than English, (b) what languages they knew, (c) what languages they spoke at home, (d) what opportunities they had to speak other languages on campus, (c) what percentage of these opportunities were
found in their residence halls, and (f) how many generations of their family had lived in America.
