Marcy Wheeler holds a PhD in comparative literature. Long blogging about Russiagate and addicted to close reading of legal documents without the least connection to law, Marcy has developed a steady following to which she misinterprets information and presents it as factual. You can see how stoopid this is right off the bat, couched in thousands of words:

A guy provided evidence, and then he said he lied, so he was telling the truth the first time. Thanks Marcy.

I do encourage you all to open the link and note how she writes in what is effectively a context-free grammar, presupposing conclusions, discussing casually about how they're correct, and linking back to more incorrect interpretations. The only way to even try to parse such nonsense is to click on endless links, which will eventually get you back to absolutely nothing. Like Lord of the Rings, except backwards and the characters travel in circles.

Come on, this is a bit too aggressive of a statement. On the other hand, there is some anecdotal evidence that nutrients in pills are not absorbed by our gut as well as more "naturally" delivered nutrients.

This to me speaks volumes about our regulatory environment. Once upon a time the US regulations were so thorough that other countries would just Me-Too certification if the US had certified something. That's no longer the case and the EU has rightly started to question everything.

The US is in rapid decline on all fronts as half our country stands in the way of anyone trying to fix the problems while ignoring our rapid erosion or blaming it on immigrants and leftists.
I have a perfectly good PC from 2015 that has a Gen 5 Intel processor. It is 64-bit, 6-core, supports TPM 2.0, and supports the virtualization instructions, UEFI, etc.

I have 64 gigs of ram in this and other upgrades, it works great, but it will die with Win 10 because the CPU isn't on Microsoft's list. When Win 10 support is done, so is my PC that I've invested a lot of money in. So yeah, it's going to become trash or a Linux box I haven't a need for.
You're serious? Holy fuck get real. I'm not even the guy upthread you were responding to, screw off with your "burden of proof" crap and go walk into a weed store with your bitcoins.

Meta comment on this thread so forgive me. There are only 40 comments and 3 of them are top level comments stating that taking magnesium supplements cured their health issue. One is anxiety, one is sleep issues, and one is migraines.

I don’t have any points to make about the observation, just noticed it and felt compelled to share.

Could you not argue the exact opposite point with the same underlying facts? Meaning “requiring modern low power CPU’s is a great thing for the environment”?

And how reasonable is it to say these PCs will be immediately trashed? Seems like a straw man argument - I know plenty of schools that will happily run Win10 until 2030

> The use of greek letters in academic writing has a single purpose: Compact notation. It has nothing to do with abstract readability.

The compactness of the notation is a major factor in overall readability. Long variable names make it harder to see the overall structure of an expression. When operators, numerical constants and parentheses mostly are represented with one or two characters each but variable names are all much longer, then the only thing you can tell about a long line of code at first glance is what variables it uses as inputs. Mathematical pretty printing can help with some operators (eg. fractions) and make it more visually apparent what's being grouped together by parentheses, but even then long variable names will still detract from the ability recognize the structure of an expression.
>Releasing new CPUs doesn't make older ones unusable; making an OS incompatible with them without good reason does.

All those Windows 7 computers didn't become unusable once Windows 8 came out.
The hype train is already starting RE: "people will switch to Linux, etc etc". MS for once abandons the backwards compatibility obsession, albeit in an understandable but not user-facing, palatable way as with a unified UI - and is dammed to Techlord Mordor. Poor strategy aside, MS just can't win with everyone, the divide is particularly stark for their user base. IMO though they should never have been remotely as lenient over the control panel UI and such, or should've launched a reworked OS dubbed "tileOS" that cleaved off cruft, nix-based with a unified touch & a great package manager, terminal for the backend.

It feels to me like the current strategy splits too many hairs. Apple understood this, which is why they haven't launched MacOS RT/10X then scrapped it or some jazz. (And to be clear the issue with 10X is it that it wasn't really approxmating a cleaned up version of Windows - just a ChromeOS competitor for low-cost garbage)

Oh, but as for Linux on the desktop - the only way that happens is probably MS throwing in the towel (which is a poor phrase given the context would almost certainly be a boon to most everyone) adopting the Linux Kernel or some FreeBSD core, with a compatability layer for Win32 bullshit.
This is a very important question, in my opinion. I am going to check how the amounts are calculated.
Tue, we trace the evolution of the Unix code along the line that currently is FreeBSD over 50 years. The Linux kernel started its life decades later than Unix and it didn't (initially) share any code with the original Unix code base. Furthermore the GNU and other programs and tools required to form a GNU/Linux distribution have their own separate history, further complicating the picture. Linux's evolution, though shorter, is also interesting, but it is a very different story.
But youtube already hosts a lot of 18+ material (not porn, but still requires you to be signed in and verify your age). Same with eg. reddit.
Could you recommend some resources?

People have voted... with their money.

Microsoft can't longer afford being yield back by deprecated processor technology. And the bad publicity of doing so.

By not bumping the requirements a lot of security and speed improvements can't be done.

This is even more visible with the Apple M1 release. Because of it Windows looks like insecure, insufficient and unoptimized.

People have chosen that they don't care about openness neither about supporting legacy hardware and Microsoft is listening.
I'm sure they'll loosen the restriction of having TPM enabled. That seems to be the only limiting factor.

Or they could perhaps find a way to build a piece of software that will enable it automatically...
It's the pareto principle, I think: 80% of code that's out there will exercise 20% of the compiler's codepaths. It gets increasingly difficult to find meaningful code that tests those paths.
The basic problem:

Windows is forcing hundreds of millions of devices into technical obsolescence, for no good reason other than another incremental upgrade to its operating system.

Human civilization has existed for approximately 10,000 years. The main purpose of a society is to survive indefinitely into the future. I would like human civilization to exist in 10,000 years, in 100,000 years.

If Microsoft changes its operating system every decade, we're looking at 10 000 iterations of Windows in the next 100 000 years. 10 000 cycles that, if current trends continue, will each render hundreds of millions of electronic devices obsolete, representing billions of pounds of plastic and metals each. To put it plainly, there are not enough petroleum resources and metals in the upper crust of this planet to manufacture the hundreds of millions of brand new electronic devices that successive wave of consumers will demand every few years.

The author is right. The fact that Windows 11 will be available as a free upgrade to devices already running W10 doesn't change the fact that many, if not most, of them won't meet Microsoft's specs.

I am very concerned about the environmental cost of electronics, and I'm afraid we're not taking the issue seriously enough. We're somehow trying to transition our way into a digital utopia the likes of which exist in science fiction, without the infrastructure or the resources to support it.

One of the most popular PC games of all times is Age of Empires II, a game that originally came out in 1999. The original game can practically run on a toaster, and still enjoys a large and vibrant online community.

Why can't we... settle on the same operating system for a few centuries? (I realize that Microsoft would not do this on its own, and that it would require government intervention in the market, if not an outright public takeover of Microsoft, but I'm throwing ideas into the wind here) Now I'm glad we're not still using Windows 95, but will OS's in 25 years be that much more advanced than 2021 OS's compared to 1995? I don't think so. I think Windows 10 is good enough for a long, long time. Microsoft's concept of W10 as the final version of the product was right, and I'm disappointed to see it go.

Maybe the long term solution is for the government itself to start selling, if not mandating, its own operating system software to consumers and businesses alike. Government doesn't have to meet quarterly profit goals, which is a plus in favor of long term sustainability.
Microsoft can't afford to have a useless version, there are now viable alternatives to Windows.
I'm a wood working hobbyist.

I used to pay about $3 for an 8 foot 2x4 at the local big-box / lumber store. I looked this week -- $9 for the same lumber!

Another issue is that the effect of a nutrient can sometimes differ based on what it is consumed alongside. Pills are not necessarily as effective as supplemented food.
Who would fund such a study? There’s no money in it.

Food politics is awful and leads people to make terrible decisions. People develop health problems due to pursuing plant only diets (stuff like vitamin B deficiency, anemia, etc).

Many overall health issues can be helped by teaching people to eat smaller, balanced meals and less focus on extreme diets.

Ever notice how people praise others? It is always hard-working, law abiding etc, with hard-working almost always the first in the list, as if that is the most important thing in a human's life. Somehow we have convinced ourselves that working as much as possible is the best use of our time. The saddest/ironic part of it is that most of that work is just meaningless drudgery anyway.

Last year, the company I worked for laid off a few dozen people because of Covid. They simply turned off their logins one morning - no warning, not even a pretense of feeling bad. Some of those people had worked for the company for 10, 15 years. At least a handful of those were considered super important high performers. In the end, none of that mattered. It was all about profit and loss. I am not even bitter that they were laid off (it was a business after all), but it was the ugly and inhumane way it was done.

All this to say, it is enough to do a good job for what we are paid for. Nothing more, unless you're working on something super important that would benefit mankind, like developing Covid vaccine. Otherwise it is just plain stupid to do more than what is expected.
That's not a contradiction. A store can have more than one type of customer.

> Magnesium deficiency can be attributed to common dietary practices, medications, and farming techniques, along with estimates that the mineral content of vegetables has declined by as much as 80–90% in the last 100 years.

This is why, when people defend GMOs with the argument that we've been genetically modifying plants and animals for hundreds of years by selective breeding, that I don't think that argument leads to the conclusions they're looking for which is that its all perfectly harmless.
I have been heavy dosing magnesium (glycinate, citrate) for years and am still a nervous wreck. Your mileage may vary.

That could still mean several different things.

The issue with the 401k is that it is essentially an anti-progressive tax. It is there as a way for the government to encourage and subsidize retirement savings; but it does so by providing a 1:1 deduction on taxable income (with a choice of taking the deduction now or during retirement). This means that you get a greater benefit (read subsidy) if you are at a higher tax bracket; even if you are looking at the benefit in percentage terms instead of absolute.

If you don't pay income tax, you get no benefit from a 401k.

We can go a long way to solving this by just making the subsidy a flat refundable tax credit. If we wanted to make it progressive, we could to the inverse of progressive income tax: by making the first $X get you a Y% credit, with a decreasing credit as you go up in contribution brackets.
If you don’t have health problems or your health problems don’t bother you then there’s no reason to eat this way. Eating nothing but meat sucks. It’s a medical treatment, not really a diet. Only to be used if it’s necessary.

The Weakness Question
I wouldn't put all the blame on him. Wouldn't be first or last time the narrowly efficiency-minded nerds and businessmen took a good idea and optimized it into a monster.
`memset(&some_struct,0,sizeof some_struct);`, for starters. I don't know (or care) if some random chunk of the C++ spec says that's disallowed, but it happens in quite a lot of working code. I also use `if(!this) return PLACEHOLDER;` (in non-virtual methods) a fair bit, which amounts to the same thing: C++ says it never happens, C++ is wrong as a matter of observed fact.
Diet is quite more complicated that just taking a multivitamin, unfortunately. Some nutrients compete for absorption (Zn and Ca, for example) and shouldn’t be taken together. There’s also debate about the need for phytonutrients that also come along with plants. The data is mixed enough that the US Preventative Services Task Force isn’t yet willing to endorse supplements as a means of reducing cardiovascular or cancer risk.

My personal opinion is that the human body may be too complex to say we fully understand a seemingly straightforward solution like just taking a multivitamin. We evolved over an awfully long time before industrialized agriculture and supplements. I’m not trying to demonize them because they have solved the number 1 concern humans had for the last 10,000 years of not getting enough calories, but I think it’s wise to temper the hubris of thinking we understand the human body well enough to expect a simple fix from a pill.
We don't have any better alternative, but lets not be naive about it when it comes to building bits of framework.

Semver would just be an artificial impediment at this level.
Innovation had peaked long before the Unix wars. I think that the diminished innovation rate comes from rising inertia due to the large code volume, diminishing returns, and compatibility concerns.

That is the difference today. As you said lot of things you learned decades ago is still applicable knowledge. The AWS ad-hoc stuff we learn today will be outdated and mostly useless information very soon. The undelying principles (even distributed computing) we already learned years ago.

When we moved to the Bay Area, I started going to the farmers markets and was blown away by the quality of the vegetables. Peas grown at Iacopi Farms in Half Moon Bay were crisp and sweet. Zuckerman's Farm grew a special kind of squash bred specifically for flavor (honeynut squash). Fresh plums pulled off of trees in San Francisco were just bursting with juice. Mashed potatoes made from La Ratte potatoes. And Delta asparagus — wow.

Now that we've left the Bay Area, I find that I'm even more disappointed by grocery store vegetables than I used to be. The vegetables are dry, wilted, flavorless — repugnant even. No wonder children don't want to eat them. Seriously considering setting up a miniature green house and growing my own stuff at this point.
Oh, is it then? Remarkable. Then post directly here the part where it says:

I think you could also just run `torify mumble` on the commandline.

Veritasium did a video on this topic of vegetables becoming less nutritious

The only thing TPM based disk encryption protects is the kernel and the login screen. Without disk encryption somebody could modify your kernel or boot sequence and inject something nasty. Likewise they could do the old utilman.exe hack[1] and get admin by replacing one of the programs on the login screen with a shell.

If the device can boot without a password or PIN, there are some surprising ways to get into it just by switching networks (if network drives are mounted it will sometimes send NTLM hashes), or by good old brute-forcing.

Because Windows 10 support eventually ends, and because of the proprietary nature of the software, independent individuals can't patch their own computer like an official Windows Update can. So those individuals who keep using a W10 machine beyond the end of extended support will be vulnerable to any number of threats if their machine is not air gapped.
That's because Windows 8 wasn't incompatible with the same hardware that could run windows 7. You're making my point.

The article criticizes Windows 11 insane hardware requirements, not Microsoft for making a new version of Windows.
