I think one mistake the author made is assuming crypto exchanges are not a giant scam rife with wash trading and front-running. Investors will never "figure out the value" of crypto as the fraudsters will run through all the trading exchange scams from 100 years ago, and the regulators will (too slowly, of course) fix one scam only to find two more have sprung up in its place. If the crypto exchanges ever become as safe as the equity exchanges are today, the big players responsible for the volatility will move on to the next scheme, and crypto prices will slowly fall as the get-rich-quick crowd follows them, leaving only bag-hodlers.
To understand the metaverse first you need to understand the metaverse. That's what I take from these comments and the article.
You're pretty much spot on. The problem is less about signing and more about existing PKI for git commit signing. We're working with David Huseby to help refactor the way gpg is coupled with git to enable stronger/different PKIs: https://github.com/TrustFrame/git-cryptography-protocol

I always personally struggle to recommend signing when it's so hard to do correctly. Until there's actually something workable, that supports time-stamping like you mentioned it seems like a false sense of security at best.

You're absolutely right. Silicon based 'life' system does have the advantage that it would not be restricted to Earth environment - it can probably also adjust itself in way that biological beings here on Earth cannot easily achieve (genetic engineering are almost always generational, software engineering is the complete opposite).
Morson is a well-known scholar of Russian literature. A number of his articles have appeared on HN before. They seem pretty good for non-specialist readers.

This article doesn't focus unduly on Freud, to judge by a quick "cmd+f" in the browser.
I agree with you on the overton window part, and that's why i'm not against "cancel culture" even though i won't participate in an obvious bourgeois plot (/s).

The social liberals are the 3rd political group who used it, i'd say at least as efficiently as the far right (first group that used internet to shift the Overton window) and more efficiently than the libertarian/fiscal liberals (second group).

But as social liberals are far more numerous than the far right, the impact is magnified. I find it hypocrite that members of the first two group trying to open the overton window are calling them out on this.
Name and Shame: LoanStreet (NY) cheated me out of equity
Apologies for this -- I apparently failed to test on dark mode in Firefox. I fixed it up just now (https://github.com/grork/personal-blog/commit/b9df1e924ef296...), and should be much more readable.
Do you think Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, or Kevin Spacey should have been cancelled?

I agree that it's overboard on a lot of things, especially in the past couple years, but I think it's important to remember the "cancel culture" started as a way to hold certain people to account who were exhibiting socially unacceptable behavior, but were not being socially punished.

All societies have social norms, and all societies have informal (i.e. not through the legal system) means of enforcing those norms. There was a pretty significant gap in U.S. society's ability to enforce social norms against certain types of people, and social media filled that gap.

Now some people have taken that tool farther than can reasonably be justified, but the best way to fight back against that excess is not to say "cancel culture is oppression!" because it DID fill a need in our society, it DID punish people who deserved to be punished, and I don't think we can get the cat back in the bag. So, don't fight the tool, fight the people using it where it isn't justified.

(Who gets to decide when it's "justified" you ask? Well, we do. As a society. Together, online. We're going to have to figure it out. But if we go into a discussion about cancel culture assuming the other side is only interested in opression, repression, and censorship, it's not going to go well.)
How that compares to hazelcast ?
The problem is that there is no justice system for things that are not illegal, but are ethically or morally bad.

Society in the US and in much of the western world has agreed that the only official punishments due for anything are when laws are broken. No law broken, no punishment. This is actually a weakness of our society when the lawmaking bodies choose to sit on the sidelines when the ethical or moral values of the society change, but the laws do not.

This is not to say that I endorse lots of new laws to accommodate punishments for people that break moral or ethical values that our society holds, but that without a system that can handle these problems in any capacity, society picks up the slack using whatever tools necessary. As of right now, our society has picked up and run with the idea of ostracism.

Trying to guide how our society treats people who break moral or ethical values is a right we have mostly all agreed that lawmaking bodies are in charge of. Unfortunately, most lawmaking bodies in the US, and maybe other parts of the world, are too concerned with outrage-farming for trying to win re-election. I wish I had a good answer here, but honestly, our society has a lot of social problems we are dealing with poorly right now, and this seems like a low-priority one, unfortunately.
It appears that you're both being downvoted for taking the exceptional case (Microsoft in the 1980s) and applying it to all businesses today.

Even taking into account the different business culture of the 1980s, Microsoft's early ruthlessness is well known precisely because it was not the norm then, and certainly not the norm now.
Perhaps the titles at least should be optimized for people deciding whether to click the link.
It's a biography, shouldn't the title include name of the person it is about?
Honestly, you don't have to.
In fact, it is not the purpose of a justice system to ensure that you retain all your clients when you're accused of misconduct. In our justice system, it's rather the opposite: most of the function of the justice system we have is to ensure that people retain the freedom not to associate with people, with only very narrow exceptions.

You can lose jobs, friends, and clients simply for being a jerk. There's nothing illegal about being an asshole, but plenty of people refuse to work with assholes.
In my head Grafeas does two things: provide a data schema, and a data store. I think they both still have some value, but the schema is probably more interesting to me at this point.
What's wrong with `git push -f`? When I'm working on a branch that's been previously pushed with `-u`, it's pretty normal to force push it, particularly if you're amending or reordering commits in response to review feedback, or rebasing due to conflicts in preparation to merge.
We saw during Covid that as soon as there was a tiny bit of financial stress on athletic departments they immediately started cutting non-revenue sports, here's a fairly complete list from the last year:

https://businessofcollegesports.com/tracker-college-sports-p...

You can see from that list that the vast majority of sports that were cut were non-revenue, men's sports. $1.05M lost to paying the football team could just as likely be covered by cutting one or two non-revenue sports as it is by raising ticket prices. The reality is attendance of college football games was already down before Covid, even for powerhouse schools like the University of Georgia:

https://ugawire.usatoday.com/2019/03/27/college-football-gam...

It is extremely unlikely that even the biggest football schools will be able to cover the cost of paying their players through increase ticket prices when they are already concerned about filling seats.
Its society's problem to solve. We shouldn't do away with college sports without a replacement avenue for people to get into high level sports.

Most people who want to do away with college sports seem okay with killing their professional leagues. We shouldn't be okay with that.
> Most people seem indifferent to this sort of thing, but not me.

The average person who walks into a museum will be able to tell you which paintings they like, and which they do not. An art historian, however, will be able to tell you why they like certain paintings, and discuss specific details in the composition.

You are like the art historian. When you play a game on a laggy TV, you can tell that the TV's latency is making the game worse. A layperson just finds the game less engaging, and doesn't know that it could be better, much less why.
One thing that is missing here is that certs are a good starting point for a technology? Say your changing from AWS to Azure then a cert can force you to get up to speed on the subject
Fair. I'm on the fence myself. But it is certainly a better discussion point than "Cancel culture is bad"; a lot of these people being "cancelled" definitely should be.

I don't know if you remember Google Glass was a thing, and turned out that wearing glasses on your face 16 hours a day is far more annoying than those "little hand-held glass display" you're trying way too hard to be dismissive of.

Google Glass didn't die because it wasn't AR, it died because wearing glasses all the time wasn't practical.

Not practical technologically in terms of battery life, weight, and not practical in terms of simply that you don't need to interact with some digital UI every waking moment of your life.

Also while in our imagination we can conjure up virtual displays in AR and use them for complex UIs, actually waving your hands in empty air, aside from being super weird, is also super inconvenient, compared to handheld multitouch glass.

You're not making AR predictions based on "current trends". You think you are. Instead you're trying to draw a straight line from the present reality to your favorite sci-fi movies that have shaped your idea of what the future is going to be like, while also skipping over all the pesky details that can trip up that idea from concept to realization.

In other words, same reason why everyone was dead set flying cars are coming. And yeah, the generic "no one believed in XEROX PARX and no one believed in trains and car engines, no one believed in airplanes" argument was brought up about flying cars. Turns out that this argument is not an automatic win for believing whatever you wanna believe is coming.

Just because someone didn't believe in airplanes doesn't mean I can't roll my eyes at predictions that faster-than-light travel is just around the corner.
If I were to guess it would be that to those on the inside it is obvious where the PPV porn numbers top out at in terms of near-future revenue and that these numbers are not sufficient to justify the valuation growth that they want to see. Profitable is nice, but if you want to build a unicorn you have to aim for bigger profits and lower risk than what the current OnlyFans model provides.
Is there some kind of "law of headlines" that states most headlines dealing with breakthroughs in health always end with "In Mice"? If not, there should be. This study shows how it works... in mice:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-020-00736-x

I'm not trying to dismiss things, just seems important to note this is from work done on mice, not people.

"Hey, There's a Second Brain in Your Gut And now scientists know how it works In Mice" still sounds ok to me.
-People into vulgar displays of wealth?

It may sound snarky, but there's definitely a market for that kind of thing - and this device, probably not by accident, is priced just so that you can afford it even if you're only aspiring to the wealth you wish to signal that you already possess.

Clever.
I think it was because #BLM belies a much more complex political movement than the face-value meaning, while #5DemandsNot1Less directly referred to 5 specific things.

This meant that supporting #DemandsNot1Less implicitly meant you supported its specific tenets. While on the other hand, Supporting #BLM was more complex, where many people would absolutely support the literally meaning, but not necessarily all of the rest of the political goals. This makes it easy to attack critics of a particular BLM political goals as if they did not support the literal meaning.

In that context it it easy to understand why the author drew a line between the two memes. Of course that was their opinion, and opinions differ. The author wasn't advocating that everyone have the same opinion on specific memes, they were arguing that such opinions should be informed & critically examined.

They weren't saying "Here's a formula to discover which memes are bad." They were saying "Here's a method to help you come to your own well-informed opinions on the them."
I don't think this is the only reasonable reading of the situation, and your framing here is pretty inflammatory. We're supposed to get calmer and more careful in our writing as topics get complicated; see the guidelines at the bottom of the page.

You're fixating on that euphemism word, but it's actually irrelevant. You can even remove "euphemism" from my first statement and its meaning won't change. The key word there is "equates".

Besides, I wouldn't lose it over this fairly boring argument. Emotion is a powerful tool when you keep it on leash, but is a source of misery when it leads you.
Since you're running on a general purpose OS, you can't do better than soft-realtime anyways due to the kernel's preemption. You can probably register general purpose timer interrupts using the OS's API to use with whatever audio stuff you need to do.
$299 for 30 days sounded to good to be true. I used it nearly 30 years ago and it was something like that.

But it's really $499 after the introductory offer ending already the day after tomorrow. And it's limited to 10 trips, which can be problem if you also want to do some shorter day trips e.g. in the Northeast.
I'll probably have the same issues with AD too :(

You ever think about the college kid who can't afford that price? What about the family of five living on food stamps who can't just pony up the money for better hardware? What about large swaths of the population who are on fixed incomes?

The way software companies are going and your general attitude is, "Eh, this is old technology, anybody should be able to afford it, what's the big deal?"

Totally tone deaf to the poor and people living on the edge and others living on a fixed income. My mother in law is pushing 80 and I had to build her a new PC since she couldn't afford to purchase a new desktop to do her taxes on since now our state requires you to file electronically and shockingly, her tax software no longer runs on her 8 year old desktop.

I do not think this is a problem with education. It sounds like they understand, they just do not care. I think that is a different (harder) problem.

You're unhappy that people do not believe it is beneficial to be debt-free. As you note - there are many groups who benefit (profit) from this kind of spend-spend-spend consumption culture.

Frankly, I am astounded that COVID did not bring about a massive economic collapse that would have driven the point about financial security home in a dreadful way. I'm grateful it didn't, though.
I used Puritanism to refer to a specific cultural belief. Not just this specific situation.

I understand the concern around anonymous identities and want to make sure it's always possible to use them.

OIDC is really just the protocol, you don't even actually need to use email address-based tokens if you don't want to. We actually already support SPIFFE and machine-based identity tokens as well.
You don't want to tie everything to one, single update. That means you have to delay smaller filter-rule updates until you deliver larger app-based updates. Or, you have to force a restart of the app to apply changes to filter lists, which is also not idea. Having a component-based system, where items can be updated and managed individually, is far better for everybody.

It boggles my mind that the author wrote an entire long article based on this.

The rhetorical question saying that surely that weird refactor of two different functions into one, followed by calling that new, non-trivial function twice for no reason surely shouldn't affect performance.. He already lost me during the premise of the article.
Windows is a gigantic market so in general the vast majority of things one could do in MacOS are going to end up being possible in Windows (assuming Apple even was the first to market some feature in the first place).

It's almost unthinkable that some in-software feature that a lot of people like can be done in an Apple OS and not a Microsoft/Android OS.

The question is not whether it can be done, but how easily it can be done. If you have to jailbreak your phone or cobble together a collection of different applications to simulate the experience, for 80%+ of people that's basically equivalent to impossible.
Moving forward doesn't mean moving on.

An apology that admits the wrong lets the victim stop doubting or blaming themselves. So the anger comes after it is acknowledged that what was done to you is wrong. In that way, anger after an apology actually means it may have worked.
It's not grounds for being fired because there are no grounds for being fired. You can be fired for depositing your first paycheck in a bank that starts with the letter A, if your boss wants.

There is a specific set of things for which you cannot be legally fired - "wrongful terminations" - because terminations are by default rightful. And there are a specific set of things for which you effectively must be fired if the organization doesn't want to be seen as approving of your behavior, which is what the abusive workplace stuff is about. Note that the links you provide are about laws that apply to companies, not to individuals.

Between those two extremes, there's a whole lot of stuff for which you can be fired. Reflecting badly on the company and making their customers unhappy, while breaking no laws and exposing the company to no legal risk, is an extremely common case.

It is pretty unfair that people lose their livelihoods because of their employers' whims, and it happens to a whole lot of people who have not even done anything worth apologizing for, and I think our society needs to address this problem in general.

A bit less painful, in the sense that you probably won't lose work, but still quite a headscratcher is line endings issues. Not amount of `git checkout .` or `git reset --hard` will help, and you just have massive diffs with no obvious change. I recloned the repo quite a few times in my younger days over this, and I still have to think deeply to be sure to use the correct configuration.
I did something very similar to this (though I never got to JITing to actual machine code, it was on my roadmap, and there were differences in goals[1]) back in the 1.8.x days and the reality is that writing any kind of ruby interpreter is an astoundingly complex task. It is not a simple language and it has a lot of awkward corners.

I spent months getting it to the point where it could just properly run rubyspec, and then months more just making it pass a decent number of its tests.

I can't imagine this has gotten any easier since then, it would be a hell of a project to make anything like this a complete working project.

[1] it's kind of horrifying to me now but it's still up on my github at github.com/stormbrew/channel9 -- the actual goal was a multilanguage vm where you can implement languages in themselves. It was originally written in ruby and eventually the bytecode interpreter core was rewritten in C++. The OP project is much nicer, more directed, and better documented by far than what I wrote there though.
Because it was probably more expensive (and risky) to go to court and spend a ton of money on lawyers than just pay the license and be done with it.

Just dug into it! Looks like you've done a lot and are a senior eng with a lot of experience - your in one of the most sought out roles so I'm unsurprised that you get a bunch of interviews consistently, and probably wouldn't be a fit for the tool.

Yes, none of my high school graduate children really understand any of this. When they got their first jobs I made them do their tax return by hand on paper. For so many people, "doing your taxes" is when you give your paperwork to H&R Block and you get a refund sometime in the first part of the year. They have no concept that the "refund" was their own money to begin with, and the fact that they are getting it back means that they have been giving the government an interest free loan for the last year.
No, because KYC is not mandatory to use rewards and anonymously contribute to your favorite sites and channels. Only if you want to add funds or take out some or all of your revshare is it required. It's not required by default, which is why it should not be advertised as if mandatory. HTH
