It sounds like you are mad at the security folk not really IT.

No you can’t run arbitrary queries that bring my server to a halt. No I’m not going to give to access to my API only for you to blast my system with some python script during peak hours when you can just extract the data in CSV and use a real data analysis tool. No I won’t support your shadow IT Access DB that you created because you refuse to pay for a sql server with enterprise grade storage and redundancy.

These are things that have happened to me and I can’t imagine being in security and having to deal with people installing whatever they want.

The reason IT (including security) say no is because we have been burnt before and are left alone when someone fucks things up.
Pfizer had a desperate need for everyone to get a booster shot every year to boost their revenues. I wouldn’t trust them.
I wasn't convinced they could teach either. It is like being taught cycling by someone who not only hasn't cycled, they haven't even seen a bike.

Being able to do, and being able to teach aren't separate. I got value because my professors could teach and do, they were experts. If you can't do, don't teach either...just do...something else.

Teaching seems to attract all the dregs from society.

> A RabbitMQ stream models an append-only log with non-destructive consuming semantics

> Streams in RabbitMQ are persisted and replicated. This translates to data safety and availability (in case of the loss of a node)

Let's talk about the elephant in the room: Do streams replicate the same way queues do? If you ever lost a node while you had a few GBs of data in queues you will know that bringing a node back will sync all data over the net while completely blocking ANY operation on the queue until this process finishes. Please don't recommend quorum queues, they lack important features as well.

He's right, though. I'm sure the vast majority of Yemenis are perfectly innocent and fuck-all good that does them.

The observation about "drone strike eligible" populations is descriptive, not prescriptive, and it's about who is deemed expendable, not who should be (no one, obviously). That's the point of the third paragraph that you inexplicably dismissed.

Oh, I want to clarify something as that's a delicate thing. With "business as usual", I did not meant stuff like child trafficking was going on, far from it.

I meant to allude to the abusive work/life relationships that develop in a place like that, where people are isolated and there's no real supervision from competent authorities.

It was like living in a big replica of a Stanford prison experiment, I plan to write about it sometime as it showed me plenty of things about how humans could behave when certain circumstances are met.

It's obviously going to strongly depend on the context, but I've found that there is a shared amount of risk in organisations where IT and Finance both have their choices to make together.

Say you have some on-prem datacenter stuff for a manufacturing plant, you might have the request from factory operations to be as available and consistent as possible. The cost for such a thing might be astronomical, but even a single day of downtime would cover it. On the other hand, the finance department might already have made a risk assessment and set aside some money or had it insured in some way and now suddenly the impact of that risky thing that might happen is a whole lot lower in terms of money.

For a lot of people that can be news, or unexpected. If you silo yourself you might end up engineering something that is completely unnecessary. At the same time, someone might be buying some expensive insurance, but forgets that unrecoverable data doesn't magically yeet itself into existence just because the insurance contract says so. So while on paper it's "covered and we just need to recover our systems and get on with it", in reality that might not be possible. Starting a company from scratch (IT-wise) leaves you with empty systems. Those are about as useful as a brick. A functional brick, but perhaps not the spreadsheet, email or CRM database you had in mind.

This is a lot of words just to say: in most companies (as long as they don't get too big), most people are there for a reason, and most departments are there for a reason. Go up the chain of reasoning and you'll find your common reason ("because the company wants to make money" for example), and now you have all you need to 'justify' to yourself that 'those other people' are there for the same reason and with the same goal as you.
Not just creative fields. A relative of mine did an MPA from Columbia-SIPA. He spent around $200k all told (including indirect costs like housing), and on graduation the best offer he got was for around $60k. Eventually he took up a job (outside USA, as his visa expired) based on his previous experience, so the entire expense on the degree was just sunk cost.

Uh, no, he very much isn’t. The second paragraph is demonstrably false and is pretty obvious Islamophobia. It’s a disingenuous conflation of sharia law and a caliphate, and imagine how weird it is for me that I find myself explaining this, of all people.
I read the article as arguing the low hanging fruit are picked, and that performance can't quite make another leap. Can't bump up clock speed because it'll use more power or because the CPU design won't support it.

There isn't evidence that Apple's team has run out of architectural improvements however, so I do think performance gains are still out there. Plus there's always the possibility of going to smaller semiconductor processes.

Lots of people make other people’s jobs “harder” with good reason. Things like code review, legal compliance, IT policy, etc are just “overhead” if you assume that your knowledge is infallible - but people are fallible and we need systems like this that, yes, slow us down in order to keep from getting burned.
> how does someone know if the target demo wants to see a screenshot?

How do I know they don’t want to see a purple cow?

A significant portion of working as a marketer is understanding the needs and behavior of the target audience, making a decision based on that understanding, and then validating that decision. And hopefully iterating on that over time.

If results are better when there are no screenshots vs. when there are screenshots, why would I include screenshots? Because a couple opinionated randos on HN who will never pay for my product claim to like screenshots?

You might recall the roller coaster that ensued when they thought it might be possible to reach heard immunity. The moment it became obvious that it wasn't going to happen, mostly due to an incredible lack of cooperation with everyone involved, they stopped talking about it. It was no longer valid, so why talk about it?

What backfired is not so much what the experts were saying, but how there was always an 'anti' chugging away at the press and online to make sure nobody knew what was what. We spend way too much time debunking crap info instead of just dealing with the good-at-the-time info provided by the experts.

They aren't hiding anything from the public. They just aren't planning on teaching the public absolutely everything about pandemics - just what is needed to be known at any given time. Otherwise you end up with too much information for anyone to even begin to understand what they need to do.

Telling people that some viruses eventually weaken has no benefit to anyone. The current virus isn't doing that, and raising hopes that it might is bound to give propagandists more fuel to work with.
The problem with dischargeable student loans is it incentives people to follow the most rational choice. Accrue a spectacular amount of debt, get your degree, declare bankruptcy and discharge it. You can buy a house in 7 years when all those earnings you saved from not paying the debt adds up.

This is NOT true.

You can get detained without any solid proof on anything for 23 days, but immediately upon arrest you will get put in contact with a lawyer if you have one, or can request the 'on duty lawyer'.

If you don't have a lawyer, you get assigned a 'public attorney', but even the public attorneys aren't as bad as in the US. They are just normal lawyers that are required by law to ALSO take cases for people as 'public attorneys', so they are usually very good.

During detainment you can request contact to your lawyer at any moment outside of the regular lawyer visits all few days.

Source: I went through this. Throwaway for obvious reasons.
There are two ways you can look at this. What I expect is people will mock and call citizens and lawmakers ignorant, and call for some tougher mechanism to make sure people get vaccinated.

The other is that when you push too hard, you get pushback, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, etc. We are seeing this in other areas too, where pushing too hard on a liberal democratic (for lack of a better term) agenda leads to populist revolt, and effectively swings the pendulum way back past where most agree it reasonably should be. Until recently, it would only have been an extreme fringe group that was against long standing childhood vaccines. But it's not a surprise that when you start pushing people to do something, they start to become more wary and reject things that they previously would have accepted at face value. There is a pathway to authoritarianism where resistant is met by more and harsher rules, and one to a more enlightened society where people are treated like adults and mostly make the right choice.

I learned about this only 10 years ago and then it was to late already, but had they started to convert to Flex-Fuel Vehicle in the 90s it would have meant much cheaper fuel in the 2000s (because natural gas to methanol is cheap and gas was cheap).

Plus you could easily replace it with solar produced methanol overtime.

EV however killed the need for that for the most part.

Today I don't really think synfuels have much of a application. Batteries and storing energy electrically will win. It will not be so long until you can basically do Iron-Silicon battery for a very cheap price. Or if we finally figure Sulfer we could have amazing batteries for super cheap.
The "part" of the virus targeted by the vaccine is the spike protein which is "The spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2, which plays a key role in the receptor recognition and cell membrane fusion process" [1].

A mutation which alters the shape of the spike protein, rendering it protected against the vaccine will most likely render the virus less virulent.

Think of it as a hedged bet.

Nix+NixOS can also be used to describe iso's, installation iso, vm images, ami images, azure images, sd-card images, pxe-boot images, shell environments, and others.

Not to mention that nix can be used (with varying levels of success) on windows, intel macs, m1 macs, redoxOS, and others.

> I don’t want to kill anyone in Saudi Arabia, I don’t find any moral stance for the droning/wars to be convincing

Read what you want to read, I guess, because this is what I wrote

You chose to privilege my first paragraph of acknowledging reality, and invalidate my actual opinion. Fascinating.

We drone strike weddings.

Say it with me: we drone strike weddings, funerals, and summarily dismiss innocents in areas and populations as large as California. Share the air with me and acknowledge reality.

We would do the same in Saudi Arabia based on the reasons we do it to “non-state enemy combatants (and their wedding guests)”

its supposed to make you uncomfortable, focus on something that matters instead of trying to invalidate the one person that says it. Bad habit that might be reinforced by your surroundings.
So we pander to idiots. Great plan.

Why does a successful software business need to be a "visionary startup"? Taking on consulting work and discovering the product by listening to customers seems like a reasonable approach.
>The other is that when you push too hard, you get pushback, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, etc

What type of "outreach" programs can be described as being closer to "vinegar" than "honey"?
Shouldn't we account for both inflation and oil prices changes during the period as well? In any case, it's a fascinating hypothesis.
> To date, I haven’t heard anyone saying Lightroom is significantly snappier on an M1 than on a recent Intel MBP. I’d be happy to be corrected.

This seems to be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. People have mostly been saying that everything else is snappier on an M1, app launches, task switching, etc.
The whole premise is flawed. Intel and AMD can release a CPU whenever they want. Even if the M2 (or whatever) is ready now, in what machine does Apple put it? And more importantly, when does that machine get released to consumers? Apple has never have had a consistent release cycle with their machines, with redesigns clearly slowing down the release cycle.

They told us they were on a two-year transition, and we have until WWDC next year at the earliest to finish that transition. And looking at what happened during the first year, it's pretty clear they meant that each machine would be updated once during the transition.

The Macbook Air, Mac Mini and 13-inch Macbook Pro were obviously the machines deemed to skip a redesign, and were released first. The 24-inch iMac was redesigned, and I suspect every other computer will get a redesign to go with their new chip.

I suspect this Fall, after the new iPhones unveil a new set of cores, we will see those cores used to build a new chip that goes in the machines still due for an update: the big iMac and the big Macbook Pro. The M1 machines will not be updated, and we will only see a Mac Pro at WWDC 2022. Then who knows?
Have you tried telling them about the great BBQ and blues?

> and one to a more enlightened society where people are treated like adults and mostly make the right choice.

We tried that. It was not very effective in the most recent experiment [1]. Nor those before [2] [3]. If we allow you adult choices, and you make choices that harm others (not getting vaccinated for whatever illegitimate reason is put forth), you end up having to be coaxed with policy (mandatory vaccinations by schools and employers) because you are not an adult capable of making adult decisions (you don't qualify for welfare in Australia if you don't get your kids vaccinated, for example [4]).

Harm yourself, by all means, that is your choice to make. Harming others (those who cannot get the vaccine for legitimate reasons) because of your ignorance infringes on their rights, and should under no circumstances be tolerated.

Don’t call me Shirley.
YES please. I'm generally quite happy with my 13 inch MBP. But I do wish it had two more USB-C ports. Would make things less complicated. I don't really even want a bigger MBP (I have a 16 inch as well, if I need screen real estate, but I really like the portability of the 13). Just the same laptop with four ports would be 80% of ideal. The last 20% would be more RAM.
> But the returns on memory investment past 16G are, for most people, just not gonna be that dramatic in general and specifically, probably won’t make your media operations feel faster.

This is only true for editing still images. If you're editing video (with tools like Davinci Resolve - which is free and excellent), 16GB is going to be quite inadequate.
It's always a great time to complain.
First heard about this in closed channels and tried really hard to get a copy, but failed.

Was pleased to discover a few years later that they had open sourced it.

They're up to v10 now and it's so much better than IDA Pro/HexRays that it's probably going to put them out of business.
I would also be suspect of any Biotech company announcing a "need" for more/variation product of theirs.

But yes. Allow consensus to build before jumping to conclusions when we don't have a time pressure on that front.
Apple has frustratingly skipped entire Intel generations in the past, leaving their computers to languish for years without updates.

If the big Macbook Pro is only released this Fall or next Spring, it will be business as usual for Apple.

Same goes for an update to the M1 Macbook Air. I expect that machine to be updated next year at the earliest, with something akin to an M3.
I'm not sure what the alternative is. The status quo wasn't working.
It appears the reasoning is: Minors can't legally give consent, therefore asking them to is likely illegal.

If we follow that premise, then advertising or giving alcohol to minors should be illegal too.. and it is!

Like it or not, it sounds like sensible legal reasoning.

Outside of configuring your system, almost everything from NixOS is applicable to other distro's. The only notable exception I can think of are video drivers, and you will need nixGL for that.

I realize this is rhetorical, but the answer is that the majority of people aren’t single or double issue voters. They may be seeking to live in TN to avoid downsides of other states, making a tradeoff.

And then there are people who are politically diametric to you who are also great employees; these you probably don’t need to sell the idea of residency as much.

Between these two groups, there are enough such people to sustain job markets in every state.
