If this is Garmin, I'm sadly not certain the difficulties are intentional. Their software has always been a major detraction from their really solid hardware. Connect IQ seems to be honestly trying to provide functionality, but ends up being a strange bastardization of Javascript and Java that compiles to Java bytecode. The experience was riddled with the same types of alpha-quality oversights and the target market started moving to Coros watches, but before I dropped the project all the watch crashes and firmware updates made much more sense.
asking people filing certificates to file for 90d-1s is a huge pita. well, i guess it's LE that does the filing. but this 1s changes how cron jobs & other downstream systems would have to behave in a frustrating, ever shifting way.

i've done some contributions to an aws/okta authenticator program (https://github.com/jonathanmorley/oktaws) and live in fear of some policy engine or bug report like this that makes our particular corporate "12 hour maximum" policy require folks to change their requested token durations from 43200 seconds to 43199 seconds. i've thought about pre-emptively silently subtracting a second from what people request, but as a pre-emptive guard it seemed a little extreme.

the bug report is accurate, but it's SRG CPS v3.2 Section 7.1 that should be updated, to not be annoying. the situations are a little different- oktaws's users really do use a token till it expires, where-as hopefully LE users are renewing their tokens before the last second. but allowing an extra inclusive second, not being pedantic about time, seems good. extra marginal cost to validators be damned.
> Sure, but usual practice with containers is to put each thing in its own, unless they are very tightly coupled. Web-app with a SQL database and a memory cache? Three containers. You can do otherwise, but that's typical. Usually each container ends up with one main, important running process, and not much else.

I agree, but... getting all the application dependencies in there is more than just getting a single binary in there. If it's just a single-binary Go program, then a Jail works just fine, but it's not that simple for a Ruby application. I'm definitely not talking about databases running in the same container as the application. That's where Kubernetes and docker-compose come in for multi-container orchestration, which are things that FreeBSD Jails don't have as far as I know.

> These are exactly the kinds of things I was thinking of when I noted that the OS itself has been seriously diminished in importance

Yes, but... these are all the things that FreeBSD doesn't offer. These are the real reasons that people don't talk about FreeBSD Jails in the same breath as Docker. The Docker container itself (or the FreeBSD Jail) as a unit of isolation is the least interesting part of the ecosystem. All of the developer tools, orchestration tools, and prebuilt images are what make the Docker universe so interesting, and make FreeBSD Jails... less interesting.

You said you were confused why Jails don't have more mindshare. It has absolutely nothing to do with people being able to invent useless tools and write blog posts about them, and it has absolutely nothing to do with FreeBSD Jails being too well documented. You kind of implied those were the best explanations you could come up with. Those are not the problems at all, and it seems disingenuous to me to say you think those are the problems unless you really didn't know the things I mentioned in my first reply.
To be fair, no one was using statistics and the scientific method to support bloodletting, or miasma theory.
Perhaps. But why do we actually care about market fairness?

I care that companies get shit done. I want to see electric cars, cancer cures, solar power, and vaccines. I don't care that the markets are fair. If an unfair market means I get those things faster I'm all for it.

FWIW I get cheaper strawberries than most people because I'm good at bargaining. Markets aren't supposed to be fair, they're supposed to factor in these kind of soft skills.
Is that not what happened? These idiots sucked at insider trading and got caught. The more fit insider traders don't get caught.

Lying to the public and your investors as some kind of game to "stick it to the man" is not fun, it's obscene (and thankfully criminal). These "retail investors" you defend are morons and gamblers who are leading a flock of other morons into bankruptcy. You should be rooting for them to get screwed, not people who play by the rules.
Maybe your argument still holds, but this is a misleading comparison. The systemd repository contains a lot more than just an init system (e.g. systemd-networkd, which is an optional network manager).

The appropriate comparison would be for the systemd the init system vs OpenRC.
Testing Laravel Blade Components
Can you expand on this? Systemd doesn't make network calls, so presumably you mean services started by systemd, which there exists an API specifically so you can do things like start a firewall before the network is brought up.
I compared systemd vs. OpenRC code size in another post, but here is Musl vs glibc code size:

$ git clone git://git.musl-libc.org/musl; cd musl
$ wc `find . \( -name \*.c -o -name \*.h \) -print`
[...]
7 11 94 ./src/unistd/_exit.c
104637 330017 2883975 total

$ git clone https://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git; cd glibc
$ wc `find . \( -name \*.c -o -name \*.h \) -print`
[...]
49 216 1647 ./wctype/wctype_l.c
1389414 6823487 52867225 total

So 104,637 lines vs 1,389,414 lines. There are more human programmers on this planet who can audit 104,637 lines than can audit 1,389,414 lines. What is glibc doing that is so terribly useful that it needs to be 13 times the size of Musl? It's just standard GNU bloat. And why does GNU awk (gawk) need to add network socket programming support? Isn't this beyond the scope of what awk does well and does best? Keep adding features, keep increasing the attack surface....
Don’t forget that neither is a pure VPN, though that’s not always a bad thing — Private Relay is better than a VPN because onion routing means “no one party”[1] can correlate your connections and identity.

However WARP, being more like a VPN, requires you to trust Cloudflare to not log DNS lookups / the servers you connect to and associate that with your origin IP.

Why do I hesitate to call WARP a real VPN? It reveals your actual IP address to websites you visit via X-Forwarded-For. [2]

Also I think the fact that iCloud Private Relay will be built-in makes it more private than WARP — more users’ traffic will come out of each node.

[1]: Obviously this is imperfect because the Apple (which knows your IP) and third-party (which knows the network traffic) nodes will likely be in the same jurisdiction as each other, subject to the same laws, as mentioned by other commenters.

edit: typo, line break, clarified Private Relay concept
With the exception of MDMA, MDMA has show to have effective outcomes on depression and PTSD in short term studies. They problem is they have to be interleaved with SSRI's or the down state is far worse. That has been the issue with MDMA, it drops a depressed person lower than they where on the down ramp. Therefore there are concerns that it could place someone who was not suicidal in that low of a state. Studies have shown regulating this with SSRI's can mitigate the down state.
Most of the same tactics used to control colonies could be used to control Mars.

Moreover, Mars would probably be utterly dependent on earth for multiple generations.
Within the cloud native and container space, there is work being done on how to implement this (SBoM, Signing etc). It will obviously be tricky to get right, but there are groups looking at it :)

I don't have a "stack" yet but I have run across a few tools in my searches. One, Rasa.io, seems particularly interesting and not so pricey as 12,500 contacts are currently $142/mo. The other, Encharge, seems to be priced similarly. For me, neither would have worked. Rasa uses Fb, Twitter etc to pull from and I prefer more obscure sources and Encharge does the emailing for you...it's not self hosted. But both look like they might fit your criteria. hth

I did that, and came back. Now working is increasingly pissing me off, and I don't understand why it didn't feel that annoying before I left. The amount of things you have to comply with, constantly sell ideas to stakeholders, deal with some very rigid people, wake up on time and nearly every day, engage in long, repetitive discussions, make sure to collect good peer feedback. Ehhh. Coding is still good, though it also feels too easy now. Perhaps I'm simply getting older.
This is my field. I read the article some years ago and looked over parts of it again yesterday. I was and remain _extremely unimpressed_. I do not think the article had much of any influence on the thinking of economists on the issues it covers. I have never heard it discussed or mentioned in an economics seminar, nor is it taught.

There are economists in industrial organization who think big tech firms need a different regulatory approach. This is fair. But this opinion is not generally informed by khan’s arguments.

In my opinion, you can make the case for regulating tech firms most easily for Facebook (which acquired competitors WhatsApp and Instagram and probably shouldn’t have been allowed to).

The big tech firms have also done things occasionally which are clearly anticompetitive. Google and Facebook had a (recently revealed) secret anticompetitive agreement about bidding on ads, for example. That was a clear antitrust violation. Likely Google’s payment to Apple to remain the default search engine on iOS is at least questionable.

I say all of this to illustrate that I’m not a skeptic about regulating tech firms vis antitrust law.

However, the firm where I think this is hardest is Amazon. I don’t see them as being too large or too dominant. As of 2019 Walmart did about 3 times as much retail business as Amazon, iirc. Amazon faces competition from Walmart, Target, and any firm who sells a product online. The cost of going to a competitor’s website is zero. If consumers are repeatedly buying from Amazon instead, that’s a sign that Amazon is doing something right.

The claim is made here frequently that AWS is a monopoly. That is very hard to square with the existence of serious competitors like Microsoft and Google.

To respond to one more of your points: if you achieve a near monopoly by offering lower prices we economists would say that is good! Quantities are high and prices are low. You are a better option than your competitors. Khan seems to think that this is somehow bad for consumers, perhaps bc “eventually” Amazon will raise prices. (This is not remotely plausible.)

If you want a vastly, VASTLY better take on modern antitrust which includes good discussion of tech firms and dominant platforms, read “the antitrust paradigm” by jonathan baker.
One reason is they can't find any decent investments so the buy back is the best value.
Maybe. I don't dispute that law is bimodal but I also am pretty sure there are a fair number of corporate counsels and partners at smaller practices earning comfortable low six figure salaries out there.
All I can think about is the smell. Both of the "soft human waste" that was surrounding the egg, and the contents of the egg.
"It is possible to be motivated by both the money and other aspects of the job, and in my own experience this is the case for all of the best coworkers I've had over the years."

Sure it is, but the question was about the motivation to put up with coporate bullshit, not the motivation in general.
The popular cultural notion that airliners could be used to crash into the World Trade Center had been floating around for decades prior to The Lone Gunman. I had first come across it in 1989 or so, but I suspect it goes all the way back to 1973. It wasn't a unique or new idea.
Agreed. So is the solution to reduce white social trust as well or to empower non-white social trust?
Most of the new features are being done in separate daemons from the init. The lines of code relevant to only the init are in src/core, so your comparison would probably only make sense if you compared that folder.

>Lennart just keeps adding to systemd and refuses to say when he will finally stop adding to it.

I'm not sure I understand, most projects only stop adding code when development is done. So the answer would probably be "when people stop using it." Are you a distro maintainer? If you want a stable version with fixes backported, you can use this: https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable

>How many skilled humans on this planet are available to audit those 600k+ lines of systemd code and are actually auditing it? (And how many work for intelligence agencies?)

I'm not sure I understand this either, are you asking how many C programmers there are in the world that are able to perform code review on a C program for Linux, like systemd? And what subset of those C programmers work for intelligence agencies? It might be worth answering those questions, but I'm not sure how that is related to systemd specifically. If you look at the systemd github (or the github for any other big C program), you will see a good number of people already publicly reviewing patches, so you could get started there.
I don't condone lying, but if you have access to inside information why can't you use it?

It's not like my brain can differentiate anyway. If I find security bugs in some company's git repo is that insider info? The code was public. I should be rewarded for my ability to read code. Those who can't read code are less fit to be investors.

If I overhear company X employees talking trash on a public hiking trail near their office is that insider info? I actually went hiking, I have a higher probability of overhearing insider conversations, I should be rewarded for putting myself out there, doing the legwork, and not sitting in an armchair at home expecting people to feed information to me.
Nothing to add to the discussion but fyi I think you want ceases instead of seizes.
> as they aren't full-on manipulations of reality, I view them as a useful entry point into a subject.

But then, this is exactly the critique the article advances: in this book Gladwell presents a narrative that gives readers (to put it charitably) an incomplete understanding of the nature of American air doctrine in WWII. Omission of facts IS manipulation of reality, and what Gladwell has created seems to be more akin to a third- or fourth-order representation of reality where a heavily biased selection of (to be fair, mostly true) facts is then glossed and presented in a form where one "can read it in the bathtub with a cold beer" and have a good time. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but it's pretty remarkable to assume that such a work gives you any meaningful grasp of a subject in addition to being entertainment.
Why does systemd need an optional network manager? Will this optional network manager become non-optional in the future?
> Why ask others to guess what your motivations are if you can instead tell us?

Because directly stating "the authors of this paper misunderstood the purpose of pay transparency: it doesn't matter what the average pay becomes, as the goal was to reduce pay disparity" is a more forceful statement that makes more assumptions and simply isn't as friendly as asking it in the form of a question (which might be taken as a socratic dialog, but that also feels more friendly to me than a lecture).
I don’t know why you have a problem with one 20-something managing a ton of people because the market rewarded his idea while you have a problem with a different 30-something managing a ton of people.

To argue that young founders that run big companies are capable while questioning if young bureaucrats are is purely ageist.
> As for why non-replicable results are cited more, I'd speculate that non-replicable results are often more unintuitive and surprising

This seems the likely explanation; I saw a paper recently that showed that lay people can predict what will replicate with above-chance accuracy[1]. I imagine scientists are even better than lay people at this.

So non-replicable results are almost by definition surprising (i.e. they are hypotheses that don't match our current model of how the world works), and surprising results are definitely better news than unsurprising results.

I want to believe that it's a combination of (a) the sheer volume of tweets that makes it impossible to catch all the stuff and (b) that there's probably a lot of overlap (at least initially) between people who read the tweet and people who agreed with it (so a relatively small number of people flagging it as a TOS violation).
What strikes me about a unit like that is how it's just a small part in an undertaking where thousands of similar components had to be ready and interoperable within the decade.
Most popular "nonfiction" fits into this category, really.

There is a pattern to these books

* Pick a topic

* Decide on a narrative

* Pick a collection of studies to demonstrate that narrative

* Take study conclusions (which are often dubious extrapolations of data) and summarize vaguely adding additional unsupported projections, a handful per chapter

* Publish and promote

It isn't just "self-help" but nearly everything in the nonfiction section that you hear people talking about.
I'm learning web dev right now, after not having really touched it since about the turn of the century.

I bounced off of React & friends a few times before discovering the Lean Web movement. I'm genuinely happier for having found it. As a beginner, things like React and Elm feel opaque and obscenely complicated, all in order to solve problems that I don't actually have. Vanilla HTML+CSS+JS offers a much more pleasant learning curve, and has made it a fair bit easier to maintain momentum as I learn. From what I can tell, I'll probably also be able to take them really, really far before I need to adopt a front-end framework.

I'm actually kind of wondering, now that I am more familiar with the history of the technology, if the continuing popularity of front-end frameworks is largely a hold-over from an earlier time when Web standards were weaker. Vanilla JavaScript and CSS have become a lot more capable over the past few years, but dropping back down to them may be technically or socially difficult. It's always easier to add more things to the pile than it is to take them away. Sunk costs and all that.
I agree he probably shouldn't have had such power at 22 either. Why are we talking about her age? Who benefits?
Wasn't there a similar post by another former contributor expressing the same thing last year?

Because now you have the taste of real freedom? =)
Definitely worried that I am essentially spoiling my ability to tolerate the BS that goes along with most work by taking a year away from it.

I also opened both tabs for this story about community dynamics and the story about subliminal ads via smart speakers.
In general, nobody who is trying to sell it to me.
Sure, but society picks up the tab
I’m a trans woman and the fact that saying “the experience of a trans woman is not the same as that of a cis woman” can be turned into evidence of transphobia, for which one must be hung out to dry on social media, is fucking horrific to me. There are people for whom it is impossible to say anything correct about trans issues if they are looking for someone to tar and feather. Or about any other issue. The American Left has a terrible tendency to turn into a circular firing squad.

There is a certain style of essentialist thinking that Twitter encourages. No apologies will be accepted. You are a bad person forever, your transgressions will be screenshotted and saved on whatever this era’s repository of Drama is (I think right now it’s Kiwifarms?) to be brought up whenever you’re seen, let us create outrage around you that we may feed upon to boost our own profile, and that Twitter may feed upon to keep everyone glued to the news about whatever poor bastard is today’s Main Character on there and jam more ads in front of Engaged Eyeballs.
That’s quite disappointing. It’s unfortunate that bullies continue to thrive in society and many communities.
That is an interesting comparison in theory only; in reality, the youngest president elected was 42 (JFK). The median age at inauguration is 55.

The only nit I'd pick with the list is:

* That truth can be expressed numerically.

Isn't the basic point of quantum physics that this isn't true? We can only make guesses with probabilities, but we can't know the actual truth, and therefore can't express it numerically.
The other part of the answer from the podcast was that it is technically possible due to the design of Signal for just about anyone (?) to look up whether or not a phone number has connected to the network, so in addition to the virality aspect they'd prefer to have this be more explicitly known by users rather than hidden but technically possible.

I don't remember the exact situation around the contact discovery aspect, whether it requires a mutual contact upload for discovery, or if is just generally available to anyone with your phone number, so please don't take this comment as verbatim on the technical details. This was just the gist of what he said.
True but the reason these territories respected the metropoles laws is because they were aware if they didn’t the metropole had the resources to overrun them if they were upset enough. The same will be true of any off world colony for the foreseeable future.
The SEC complaint mentions this:

> On August 5, 2016, Brown—whose tips enabled his friend, Wylam, to make nearly one million dollars—texted his then-girlfriend to inform her that he was going to Wylam’s house to, among other things, “talk to him about $.” One week later, on or around August 12, Brown took a photograph of numerous one hundred dollar bills spread across his bathroom sink.

> On or about October 10, 2016, Wylam took Brown to a San Francisco Giants
playoff game. Wylam bought both tickets—for seats only a few feet from the field—and paid
more than $2,500 for each ticket. Brown understood that Wylam bought the tickets, at least in
part, to thank Brown for providing inside information about Infinera.
How does decreasing the average imply we are "all" poorer? Literally 99% of everyone could be making more money, but if one person who was only making more money because it could be done in secret is now making considerably less, then the average would still go down. I don't know anyone who actually cared about "average wage"...
This is just lazy handwaving. There have been entire years where Tesla was below fair value. Now it’s not, and dramatically so.
