SFTP is mainly a *NIX thing. And it's a terrible hack built on top of a protocol meant to be something really different.

Also, while in theory SFTP can be as secure as FTPS, in practice it's not. How many people really check that the server public key signature it's the correct one? You know that annoying message that appears the first time you connect to a server and you have to say yes and if you don't it will not let you continue?

Not checking that give you the same security as having a HTTPS/FTPS server with a self signed certificate. You trust blindly the identity of the server, but there could be someone doing a man in the middle and stealing all your data. In that situation, FTPS is more secure, mainly because you need a valid TLS certificate that will give you some guarantee about the identity of the server.
Though one should mention that most languages can evolve and overcome some of their problems, eg. see PHP which used to be objectively a shitty language and nowadays it is somewhat usable - C underwent basically no improvements in that ridiculous timeframe. So it is not against the original creator but everyone responsible for the language since then.
> The down side is that the software teams are starting to think they don't actually need to be "done" by launch day, which leads to a bunch of harder to quantify costs.

See: the disastrous technical state of many modern video games at launch, seemingly especially those extra chunky "live service" titles that are meant to be around for years instead of just a few months like a normal AAA single player game. Examples:

In general, one key tenet you will find even in those books is a focus on 'being' and 'experiencing' reality over taking as truth an abstract knowledge of how something 'should be'.

An approach that might work better could be a gradual and expanding exposure, talking physically in person to others, and exposing oneself physically to the practices and reality of a number of different sects and groups over time - while evolving your own understanding with book reading. It is very unlikely that meditating, or following basic practices, is going to cause anyone harm - but definitely not impossible based on their state of mind or circumstances. Given a large enough group trying something, it is inevitable someone will have a terrible outcome. It doesn't mean others won't have amazing outcomes, however.

It is our own individual responsibility to take ownership for making the decisions we make, taking the path we take, and owning the results, or we lose all handle on the little we can actually control and become even more lost.

Going to a meditation retreat (12+ hrs) without a solid grounding and understanding of the context would be a bit like hopping on a race motorcycle on a track day right after getting a learners permit - ill advised, and unlikely to result in anything healthy. Not impossible it wouldn't go well however, and not something likely to need screening for from the retreat (or track) side. Usually most people would realize pretty quickly even if they were dumb enough to get started and quit before anything really terrible happened.

If someone doesn't know or recognize that, they are unlikely to find the right ways to get in trouble - usually.

Book knowledge can help expand or refine knowledge, but should always be validated and integrated with personal experience. There are too many conflicting ways to take a specific passage, too many personal traumas or gotchas, too many environmental variables for anything else frankly.

It should not be your only or especially your only foundational knowledge about something so fundamental as how to understand or approach reality and yourself.

Be aware that you can't entirely trust his perception of the situation. He has a vested interest in under-paying his workforce.

He is going to doom and gloom any situation that results in him potentially losing money. And him losing out on profit to pay his staff probably doesn't enter his mind. If he made $X of profit last year, he wants to make $X+ this year. So he figures if he has to pay people Y more, he will have to charge Y more so he can still profit what he wants to.

To your opinion on what he should do regarding "extra" employees, I'm going to refer you to the book, Slack. While those employees are technically standing around being extra, they're needed to accommodate the bursts of activity that happens in a restaurant. Restaurants aren't busy all day long, they're busy in spurts. When you need people, you need them now.

And I think that may a major issue. The tipped minimum wage makes things feel like they're running efficiently, when it's really just shifting the money around in a way that is not optimal for the customer and causes them to overpay.

Agreed. Especially when a big part of the value proposition of a restaurant, the time savings, are negated when I can do my cooking while simultaneously in a meeting. Plus I can be in my underwear the whole time!
> I can't remember ever having seen anyone use a mutable object for a hashmap key.

HashMap keys aren't the only issue, sadly. In my experience, this is way more common in HashSets when trying reduce a collection to a distinct set of items. If any of those items is shared and modified in another thread, you're in for a wonderful time debugging.

Mutability makes things so much harder to reason about. It'd be great if there were a language-assisted way to enforce immutability for collection members.
It’s edgy because k8s is clearly the best system we have and has a lot of notoriety. The article is clickbait at best.

The distributed state algorithms that underlying kubernetes are what makes it what it is. I see very little added to the discussion. I see a hacked together AWS system that will be subject to the laws of entropy.
> I want a mesh of satellites around the earth.

I assume your motivation is (alongside with a bunch of us), "bring people closer to space than ever before", but you have provided no evidence, that polluting low earth orbit with arguably redudant satellites is a good approach.

You seem to imply that it will lead in "revolution in prices". I too, commend SpaceX for the landing boosters, but for now it doesn't reduce the price nowhere near enough to let humanity approach the space age. Starlink comparatively, IMO does nothing.

If trying to come up with one of these ideas anyway, that is a good way to find one.

Ask yourself, if there is one thing that I might be able to think of, that almost nobody else in the world can, what would it be? What unique combination of experiences, perspectives, talents, etc do I have that is extremely uncommon and what unique ideas can I think of because of this?

Not super practical in this case since the odds of success are still pretty low(but not 0), but looking at things this way can be useful in other scenarios as well. It's kind of similar to how I often spin negative experiences into a positive in my head, they're still experiences and experiences can always be useful, especially if they're unique
Efficient technologies, some new ones also, exist.

Some say people pay for the experience, for being served when going to a restaurant.

It would be interesting to see if that's true, or if highly automated restaurants with the right experience and price will become a hit.
I think preservation should be verifiable. ZFS, AWS S3, etc are great and should be used, but not relied upon to prevent data corruption. That should be a separate step on top of the storage layer.

We can also do better than hashing by using error correcting codes. If a file doesn't match a stored hash, you have to check other backups to see if the file went bad or if the hash went bad. ECC can do this without checking backups and has the ability to "heal" a damaged file (see Reed-Solomon, which is used in RAID 5/6).

Parchive/par2 is an off the shelf replacement/supplement for checksums.
This is a cool system!
Yeah, that's what "statutory damages" means. In the US, if you have registered your copyright (distinct from the automatic copyright that attaches at creation), you are entitled to damages up to $150,000 per infringement. If 1,000 people can be proven to have downloaded that movie from you, that would be an unwelcome bill indeed. If 10,000, well then now you're starting to talk about real money.
The only justification required is their willingness to accept it.
Estimate the cost of your next data breach
That's what tools like Visual Basic and Delphi were meant to do, and actually were pretty good at for their time. As far as I can tell, we still haven't nearly caught up to the browser/cloud equivalent of these tools.

Things need to sit still for a while longer I guess, but I think there's also some industry changes to blame. In the 90s there was big money in making tools and components for software engineers, while nowadays everyone just uses the best free thing they can find. Granted the free things are way better than they were in the 90s, but I think they're largely killing the market for better things that cost money.
It’s simplified, but more or less accurate. CC0 is an attempt at making a public domain deed possible for jurisdictions that do not know public domain deeds like the US does. German Urheberrecht is not entirely like US copyright, some rights of the author are impossible to waive. So CC0 has a fallback for those jurisdictions, it grants a license to the fullest extend possible under the law. https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode

It really isn't. France has lots of delicious recipes but the food that gets actually produced in the average restaurant in France is terrible.
Beyond insulting intelligent, motivated, highly capable people I know in public service, do you have a basis for that?
Opening Tree is great and I use it a lot but it does not persist my games - I have to download them every time I use it. But I'd love an app with that interface that could persist the data and cross-check it with my repertoire. I guess it would not have to be same tool as the repertoire trainer, it just seems cleaner to have it all in one tool. But you are right Listudy can help with the spaced repetition, it just doesn't know anything about my games :)
Key word being "ground based." SpaceX's work will likely lead to much wider access to space-based telescopes. That may turn out to be a more-than-fair tradeoff.

The other thing about LEO constellations is that they're not permanent. A polluted river may not clean itself up automatically after a couple of years, but LEO will. We can change our minds about the utility of LEO Internet constellations at any time. There seems no real downside to deploying them and seeing if all stakeholders can find reasonable grounds for compromise.
Ha! I salute your openess.
I can prove that languages may differ in productivity (without regards to other variables like the ones you mention) with a simple "proof by extremes": No one would likely dispute the fact that it will be more productive overall to code in Javascript than in Brainfuck (although perhaps not by much).
> If the owners could simply raise prices by 20% and suffer no economic consequences, I have little doubt they would.

If all the restaurants did at the same time, they could. But if only some do, then the restaurants that underpay their workers will have lower prices and outcompete them out of business.

You can look at this an yet another example of the core problem where consumers don't have visibility into the externalities of the purchasing choices. When picking a restaurant, you see the food prices, but you don't see that one restaurant is more expensive because it treats its workers better. That's an encapsulated abstraction. So we choose based on price, which inadvertently incentivizes restaurants to treat employees like crap.
Yes, I’m sure. The astronomy community was silent.
Cool. I confess I don't have this 100% straight, but it must be related to the CRB for range estimation. For time (equivalent to range) tau, [2, example 3.13] gives it as var(tau) > 1/(Eb/N0 * MSB), where MSB is the mean-square bandwidth of the pulse.

> leading developers of Stockfish have terminated their GPL license with ChessBase permanently.

Can the developers do this? I was under the impression that when code is published on the web GPL licensed, the developers cannot retroactively withdraw the license...

Or perhaps they are withdrawing the license for all new code... To publish some code as "GPL, available for all except this person"? Is that allowed? Even if that were allowed, someone else could use their rights under the GPL to redistribute it to that person...
Not sure, but something like 80+% of restaurant transactions are electronic these days, and undoubtably even higher in expensive restaurants where the unbanked can't afford to eat. People pay cash in diners and fast food. Fancy restaurants are full of people paying with company credit cards or collecting points on their chase sapphire or whatnot.

Even if everyone at 4-dollar-sign restaurants was making 6 digits, that's still a small minority of restaurants.
I'm not referring to every book and every blog post. My point is that there are books, easily found, that are far, far beyond any blog post.
That's true. Laws about ex post facto are pesky, especially when there's a dire need to address a massive oversight of harm. I almost wonder if there'd be value in government subsidizing the return of old phones to ensure they're disposed of properly, and maintain the simplicity of a return system, but I don't know if the cost of that program would be on the scale of "government budget rounding error" or "defense spending on the F-35".

I mean... That's exactly what the "you're just doing Buddhism wrong" crowd is saying.

There's a vast variety of methodologies and approaches to meditation, that come with their own effects, some bad some good. This is all quite well documented among the practitioners over the centuries. And beyond documentation, that's also why it's heavily suggested that one have guru or someone to actively guide and judge "progress", at least among the Hindus.
The copy would be a derivative of Stockfish, and (IIUC) (NOTALAWYER) I believe by terminating ChessBase's use of the license directly they would also prevent ChessBase from using a derivative product. It shouldn't be any harder to enforce than any other copyright violation (and I'd bet the court would not be amused by ChessBase trying to do an end-run around their license issues by introducing a third party.
In that case, "headless" refers to the method those tools use to run their automated tests. In the case of this "Headless Recorder" however, it apparently runs as an extension in a real browser and records real human inputs which implies it must be running "headed". So the question still applies.
I wonder if this is the result of us having significantly better understanding of our biology or the major advancements in AI and computer performance. Or both?
I love this idea. Is there some way I can be notified when there’s a JavaScript / Typescript / NodeJS course added?
I don't think it is helpful to talk about multiple universes, that makes a strong implication towards a many world interpretation.

You're correct but the point is "many worlds" or Copenhagen interpretation having no implications, they each describe the same mathematical/experimental results. They're just "ways to think about the results". They matter as much as whether you label the axes of a graph x and y or A and B. So any theory that "requires" many worlds is inherently not looking using the standard interpretation of many worlds and quantum mechanics.
One point: that was no "mock status update call", it was control checking if people were back in and strapped to their seats again. The wording arguably was a bit too much fluff ("Astronaut Bezos", yeah, right)
There is a certain amount of investment needed to keep going. If you are going to close the restaurant next year you can keep the current tables, otherwise replace them before they get too worn out. Or maybe it is the fry machine at the end of life, replace it for $50,000. If the restaurant continues for a few more years it is worth it, to fix/replace things, but if the restaurant is doomed it is better to cut your loses.

Even in the best of times restaurants are the hardest business to run successfully. These are not the best of times, and (as always) it isn't clear what the future will hold.
What about refusing to delete files that some process has open in a dangling descriptor? Is that just a GUI thing? I'm pretty sure it isn't.

Also, is there a better way to hunt down the background process than sysinternals? It seems pretty ridiculous that a low level debugging tool is required to do something as modest as reliably move and delete files, but I never heard of a better workaround.
Amen (hah) - I doubt (up until recently with these getting more visibility) it was ever a problem enough that retreats are screening for this.

Additionally, retreats taught in 'weight loss' fashion are only going to make this worse, as there may be no one with a comprehensive grounding or experience even present on the retreat.

This is one area where years of experience (and depth) and accuracy/correctness matter a lot. Which is hard. And expensive. And hard to scale.
Transferring huge files. The client is FileZilla.
Dumbing things down and making them easier is never a solution for progress, my opinion is that this type of thinking will doom education. Which once again reminds me that people could create their own schools, parents could form their own cohorts and hire their own teachers, which I think is coming and it’ll be a wave that will empty out the public schools of any child whose parents can afford it.

Not necessarily. Bell's theorem assumes statistical independence, but that means that either spooky action at a distance is real, OR that experimenters do not have complete freedom to configure their instruments (aka superdeterminism).
I work in this industry (on administration, no less) and sometimes even adjust claims myself, so I can speak to this with experience.

1/3 of US healthcare spending is absolutely not from
administration fees. Here is a more concrete breakdown of all of the cost components, compared with the same in peer countries: https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/what-drives-health...

If you look at the breakdown, the vast majority of the cost difference comes from just the raw cost of inpatient and outpatient care. Even if you were to completely zero out the administrative costs per capita, you'd hardly make a dent in bridging the gap.

> The free market is not a solution to the problem of healthcare spending. Consumers do not have enough information, they aren't in position to refuse treatment if it's too expensive, and hospitals aren't in a position to turn someone away if they can't pay.

It depends on what you mean by "healthcare". "Healthcare" is way too broad to have useful conversations. What constitutes "healthcare"? Getting the flu? Vaccines? Annual physicals? Routine treatments? Brain surgery? Cancer? It's a spectrum. There are some parts of healthcare that are highly predictable and fungible, and some that aren't. Whether or not a market can provision predictable/plannable healthcare is quite debatable.

Also, what we have in the US is nowhere close to a free market in healthcare, so making this argument is a bit of a non sequitur.

> The rest of the developed world has figured this out but we're too stubborn to adopt what is undoubtedly a better system.

The rest of the developed world isn't a monolith. Singapore, Switzerland, the UK, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands all have wildly different healthcare systems, but all produce fairly good outcomes! All have dramatically different levels of privatization, market mechanisms, and welfare generosity.
