> ...but your comment pisses me off.

That's your choice, I guess. I'm happy :)

> You had a poor experience with MacOS.

No, I've had poor experiences with every OS. The difference is that macOS problems are the worst type of problems that can't or won't be solved because Apple will just pull the rug out from under you at any minute. That and there are just too many things which macOS simply cannot do.

> ...so naturally the OP must either be misrepresenting their experience or "doing something wrong"?

Nope. I said that they're most likely doing something wrong. You added that bit about them misrepresenting their experience.

> Why on earth would anyone want to purchase another computer for the sake of using an OS that they already have been soured on...

Well gee, I thought this was a forum for tech enthusiasts. And didn't the guy say he has like 47 years of Linux and Windows experience combined? Doesn't sound sour to me... Sounds like he kept trying for a reason and that reason is obviously that a Mac couldn't fill his needs this time for a few different reasons.

> especially when they could just spin up a VM?

Perhaps you can read one of the 32 replies that "handrous" wrote in this thread to find out why he didn't use a VM. If you can't think of any reasons why someone might not want to use a VM for their combined gaming and workstation experiment, then I probably can't help you answer your question.

> That's just being wasteful...

Incorrect. That's just being pragmatic. Hey, I hope you enjoy being pissed off and sour with the other guy though. I'll continue being happy and living the easy life with my single OS computers that do what I want them to because I keep things simple.

This depends upon the size & complexity of your monolith & how your development teams work. Essentially it's a trade off about which becomes most work and causes most issues.
You'll be surprised that a lot of what blogs and online communities peddle as cool or not cool doesn't reflect the actual industry and professional preferences at all.

REST is trendy because everyone sells imaginary features like self-discovery, performance and universal clients, while actually shipping random ad-hoc JSON snippets over "pretty" URLs.

REST is cool because it doesn't actually exist, so there's nothing specific to criticize about it that sticks. Any attempt at REST critique is quickly drown out by the noise of thousands of REST fans saying "but this is not REST".

Something that might be useful (and maybe pay for hosting/aws/whatever costs) is to find products people mention and get affiliate links going. That is if you want to monetize it, if not thats cool too.

An example - I posted a question about non standard keyboard/mouse setups for coding. There were a lot of product mentions in there and what people are doing with them. Not a lot of links though so it would take some text processing.
Why argue against something that isn't actually in the legislation and is intended to scare people?

Sure, if you bend over backwards and squint through one eye, you can contort yourself into the bad faith interpretation that developers will be treated as brokers--given they can engage in "transfers."

But just because some entity can be considered to exist on the same "continuum" as crypto brokers, doesn't mean there isn't a clear division between them:
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Continuum_fallacy

One could also contort themselves into the assertion that convenience stores engage in transfers with "digital assets" (shifting credit via digitally created loans provided by Visa).

Maybe I should publish an article saying this legislation will require 7-Eleven to report to the government every time you buy a twinkie? That'll really get some clicks!

> However, a far larger portion of illicit drug transactions are for cash dollars than for bitcoin

The regulatory system, and people who are ok with deferring to it in its existing incarnation (i.e. the revolving door between people within TBTF bailouts-every-day with "open" "market" operations banks [where these cash dollars inevitably end up] and the people who "look" after them system), are fine with this because slaps on the wrists and fines are considered the cost of doing business and there can't be anyway possible to live and exchange value without them being involved under the guise of "protection" or "else" racket.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. It's at very least plausible. The reasons for much lower birth rates in western (and westernized) cultures are education, security, and stability.

Eh, as a landlord, taxes don’t determine how much rent I charge. I let the estate agent tell me what market rates are and go with that.

The place I own is in the UK so taxation is calculated differently (and as I don’t live in the UK, it’s confusing and that makes it a bit scary), but I don’t see how my decision making process of “delegate pricing to experts” would change if the UK hypothetically copied any of the American tax codes.

This is not isolated. This was directed by senior management. I believe such actions should pierce the corporate veil and render the entire c-suite liable for criminal charges. But I am also an experienced adult, and know their c-suite will have zero repercussions beyond the expense of a PR firm.

Don't fall for the misinformation. Pakistan is rife with transphobia and the CIA is working tirelessly to put an end to that.

Founder of cryptotaxcalculator.io here. First of all I agree the proposed rules aren’t particularly well thought out. The thing is, the 1099 forms that the IRS gets from existing brokers don’t make any sense because as soon as you move funds between exchanges the broker can no longer accurately track the cost basis. Pre-crypto you generally wouldn’t have this problem. From a tax compliance perspective it is an absolute nightmare, and I am sure this is just an ill thought out attempt at trying to make their lives easier. Probably not the best way to go about it though. There is a lot to solve in this space.

Yeah, no, I don't buy that. When the CEO sends an order to "take [them] down" and then this happens, that's no accident. All that means is the CEO is adept at "not knowing anything."

This article is dead. It took me a long time to argue against it because I assumed you knew what "adaptability" of bitcoin meant in practice. It seems you didn't and will need to do a lot more research before discussing viable attacks in the future.

Your attack vector fails and we know Satoshi knew the game theory and outcomes of just this scenario over a decade ago, as it is detailed in his posts on the bitcointalk forums. They are a great starting point for you to learn more about bitcoin's various defense mechanisms.
And at only 3.3x the price!

Nobody is arguing that the Index isn't better (except for wireless-ness) but at 1/3 of the price, the Quest 2 is incredibly affordable and very, very nice.

And since you can play all the same PC VR games as the Index, plus Oculus-specific games, plus standalone Quest games... It's very versatile.

I have an OG Vive and just "upgraded" to the Quest 2 and it's hands-down better IMO.

I've upgraded my Quest 2 with some hand straps and the elite head strap, so that brings the price closer to 2/3 of the Index, and I still prefer it thanks to the standalone games and the wireless PC link. Not listening to the whine of the lighthouses is another small bonus.

Zero trust means this solution does not depend on ('trust') hosts or networks (VPNs, firewalls, SD-WAN,etc) to communicate between the Mattermost client and the Mattermost server.

This means:

1. You limit your attack surfaces.
Threats on your LAN, WAN or Internet can't communicate with the user computer or the server, e.g. they can't be landing points (attack surfaces) for malware or ransomware.

2. You isolate any damage
In a full zero trust architecture, if one app is compromised, then there is no network for the virus to leverage to spread. For example, a ransomware loader can't call home to acquire more robust functionality, and can't find other data on your network to infiltrate and encrypt. This is because the loader is not on a 'trust' network in which it has access simply because it found its way into a network.

Other solutions are open to networks (large attack surfaces) and are susceptible to spreading attacks (as they spread through the 'trusted' network).
I always thought the CEO should be responsible for what their company did even if they were carefully screened from direct knowledge of stupid things. But obviously that rarely happens.
ok so your cement does not expose additional co2 from the lime-to-quicklime transformation, instead it takes co2 from the oceans.
that is released to zhe athmosphere during cement production. and that co2 from the air is then recaptured by the ocean. so your process creates a ocean-co2 -> air -> ocean cycle.

and when and where the hydrogen is replacing some carbon based fuels, somehwere, that counterbalances the carbon based fuel used in the cement furnace.

now I get how it becomes carbon neutral overall.

do you guys have data points at hand how long it takes for an ocean to recapture the co2?
Designing Fast and Slow: Just Agile Doesn’t Cut It
C++ is being adding basically both the kitchen and the sink for years now and still it hasn't broken anything. If anything, lots of warts have been removed now. This whole reasoning doesn't hold when the ISO C standard adds half-assed, optional rubbish to the C standard only to deprecate it the next release.

The ISO C can't create a newer, saner C string library or a more useful time library, but it finds the time to devise and release crap like VLA, threads.h or _s functions. Meanwhile, C++20 has stabilized std::chrono::tai_clock, which works on all major operating systems, and does not break anything.
There are bazillions of alternative HN UIs as the API is freely available.

So it is good that the standard interface is very conservative and accessible.

I think the that process could use some improvement!
It may have been a quirk of the Riot client app. All I know is, whenever the cert got updated, the ipad app spat the dummy, although the message about a different certificate seemed to be more a basic ipad security warning than Riot-app-specific.

The Android Riot client was fine with the updated cert, other than the cert update possibly being the catalyst for needing to re-login.

This was three-odd years ago, not sure how much progress there's been since (including on my side in the use of certbot).

I use certbot to automate certificate updates on a couple of self-hosted sites, and it works fine for them - it really was just the ipad being repeatedly / repeatably finicky back then.
New sci-fi and fantasy books to check out this August
I agree 100%. I can't wait to hear the cries of failing businesses because their no-code / low code developers can no longer understand how the system works. And while waiting I'm broadening my knowledge into the field of devops too, so I can understand the whole stack from top to bottom.

That being said, if you are a reasonably skilled coder, Copilot can help you __a lot__. I've started using it a few weeks ago and it typed __a lot__ for me. The sheer amount of time I don't have to spend typing amounts to hours / week once you get up to speed with the tech.

> How do you think those Java libraries got made? Java has also long had a culture of roll your own libraries -- and you had to, because the base language and standard library were quite deficient.

That’s quite a silly argument. Basically no language has all the things I pointed out in the core library. By this definition every language community is the same, which is obviously not true.

Also, the Java standard library is pretty damned big compared to CL.

> Where Java won out was copying Perl et al. of having a centralized place anyone could upload open source

You’re rewriting history a bit here. Java didn’t start with a central repository, it was shipped nearly a decade after Java was released. This wasn’t a planned decision by the Java team, but a consequence of decisions made by the community. CL could’ve done this decades ago too, but they’ve been very slow to the party.

I also believe that QL’s plan of manually approving every new library is putting unnecessary friction in the process.

> It really seems like you just want CL to get the libraries and tooling you expect from the Java world, especially stuff mostly used by big companies with big deployments.

Not personally, no. I’ve worked in CL, and I did not enjoy it. I do not suffer from “grass is greener” syndrome, and I’m perfectly happy with Java.

But to those that still hold up CL as a reasonable alternative to Java, my answer is that these things are the tablestakes for even being considered for industrial use.

Large parts of the world shift civil time by an hour twice a year. Drifting 1 day every 200,000 years doesn't sound like kicking the can down the road.

If human civilisation still exists by the time we've reached just 1 hour of difference we'll be occupying multiple bodies throughout the solar system, if not further afield, and have to have come up with a new time system anyway. Even the length of a second varies because of relativity.
I’ve been using Copilot for weeks now. It’s definitely useful for building upon what you already wrote. It’s very effective for single lines, but I don’t trust it to come up with entire functions. I tried, but obviously YMMV.

The licensing is definitely a problem, but I think that Copilot only highlighted the issue - it didn’t create it.

The concept of software license looks pretty fragile to me. You can own software but you can’t really own PL statements.

You can own the whole but you can’t really own the atomic parts that make the whole.

If so, closed-source is just a way to make you work really hard to achieve a result that someone else already achieved by means of obfuscation and secrecy. I’m not sure where open-source stands. Maybe it’s just a social contract.

I feel like giving criminals a platform like this is wrong.

I'm all for reformed criminals giving interviews in the context of what they did being wrong, but this is an interview about how they're getting better at their crimes.

Regardless of how easy it might be given security practices, these are crimes, and they are crimes for a reason: they cause damage. Their impact is felt beyond the ransom money paid, it's felt by employees who may be put in terrible positions as their work is held ransom and who might pay up personally to avoid problems at work, it's felt by customers of these companies who end up with higher prices, it's felt by countries as their output is hit. The fact that this "industry" is getting more "professional" does not change the fact that it's harmful. They don't deserve the publicity and attention that this sort of platforming provides them.
It seems that you believe government is less transparent than private companies. There are laws which require transparency in government, and your elected officials can make those stronger. Private companies don’t have this inherent obligation and in fact desire to keep as much private as possible in order to compete better.

Are governments or private companies more transparent?
