This is the correct answer.

For those unaware, these packages are built using the same packaging repo as the Debian “offical” packages, by a member of the “official” Debian php team.

I can’t speak highly enough of Ondřej’s work on this.
The argument against that is to 'deploy and fix IPv6', since this just kicks the can down the road, which has already been going for at least 20 years at this point.

"The first RFC to standardize IPv6 was the RFC 1883 in 1995, which became obsoleted by RFC 2460 in 1998. In July 2017 this RFC was obsoleted by RFC 8200, which elevated IPv6 to "Internet Standard" (the highest maturity level for IETF protocols)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

I totally agree and understand what you've said but sometimes I have this urge to let other friends and family members know which books I've been reading or places I am traveling to etc. I used to do this on FB and IG before I did digital cleansing.

That sounds no different than using Debian stable + additional repos for whatever you need.

You are right. But I think the distinction is an important one to make. People might not be aware about this critical distinction.

The researchers we're talking about are in a spat with Facebook over the notion that Facebook isn't doing enough to censor ideas they disagree with. You're projecting your own bad faith arguments onto other people: we're not talking about burying figs under trees. We're talking about the kind of "misinformation" that includes the covid-19 lab leak or the current predident's son moonlighting for oil and gas companies in eastern Europe. You can't have institutions deliberately trying to narrow the window of acceptable discourse in a free society because there is nobody who will be able to watch the watchers make sure that they're not abusing their authority.
We’ve been automating programmers work as long as there’s been programming. Nobody implements their own loops anymore.

As the cost of programming comes down, the set of problems it can be profitably applied to grows. So far, that’s been increasing the demand for programmers whenever the cost comes down.

Same. And I loved Gentoo so much. Made me feel like a car mechanic, upgrading his machine with all the custom parts.

I would go back to running Gentoo if I had the time to mess around, it was a ton of fun and it really did give you a system that was truly yours. But it also needed a lot of love to keep running smoothly. And I don't miss those compile times.

The scientists weren't wrong specifically about the health impacts. But they were wrong about policy prescription.

It should be as simple as not being allowed to advertise a service as providing Internet unless it provides 100% native, full-featured IPv6.

Imagine if in 2001 some company tried to sell an "Internet service" that didn't provide IPv4, or only provided RFC1918 addresses, or didn't allow something as trivial as non-NAT routing of IPv4, even as an option. They'd be sued for false advertising, and rightly so.

Meanwhile, in 2021 tier-1 cloud providers like Azure have an absolute shitshow of partial IPv6 support, yet they get away with advertising that they provide "Internet connectivity". They provide only private ranges, and force NAT for all IPv6 traffic. The vast majority of their services are IPv4 only, so enabling IPv6 is mostly pointless. Worse, if you do enable IPv6 on their virtual networks, this then disables unrelated IPv4 functionality. It's madness.
I agree. Compiling to C as your target just feels like a let down. I guess if you have to compromise on the hard parts why not target something like WASM or JVM bytecode? At least then you learn two interesting things.
But if they're looking for incriminating evidence on your private property (i.e. on-device scanning) then they do need a warrant. It doesn't matter if a copy of it was also given to a third party (i.e. uploaded to iCloud) what matters is where the actual search takes place.

> I wouldn't call smalltalk systems part of the same paradigm as mainstream desktops

Yes, Windows and Mac copied the WIMP UI. But, they ignored the composable message passing architecture. The goal of Smalltalk was to make a computing environment with a GUI, the programming language was like C to Unix.

During the 9x-2000 there was a lot of hype on providing the same system composition capabilities in Windows and Mac: ActiveX, Windows Scripting Host, AppleScript, etc. But, these things are dying. Those frameworks are not cross-platform, and they were not designed with security in mind. The interest shifted to the web.

My point is: It's possible to make a programable/extensible desktop UI. But, today the cost of doing it is high, and the interest is low.

> I think we can do better than squeak/pharo

I agree. I used Smalltalk -to work- for 3yrs. Smalltalk is full of good ideas, but it also has many bad ones.

I'll love to see something better too... In a sense JavaScript and the browser share some of the St GUI capabilities: you can inspect, experiment, and browse the code of any app. But, in other aspects the web platform is terrible.

I hope that the competence between Apple (pushing for apps in iOS/iPadOS) and Google (pushing for PWA), will renew the interest on creating environments where anybody can code and tinker with other apps. (if PWAs evolve to have the same capabilities as native apps, Apple will need work hard on removing the app creation barriers to compete -I don't see native Android apps as a competence to Apple iOS... but I might be wrong)

C functions have one return code for success, and a thousand for the different ways something can go wrong.

You can very clearly root cause a failure. In the reverse case you can identify aspects of the success whose absence would have caused a greater chance of failure, but there are still many more ways for a project to go wrong than there are for it to go right.

It’s not necessarily deflationary, forks mint new coins from nothing and bequeath current holders with new assets.

Miners can agree to change implementation details, or even history (see etc vs eth).

It can be controlled by groups far more insidious than the fed (like geo-political enemies) in proof of work scenarios. Proof of stake scenarios don’t look much different than the Fed (private bank owned by constituent financial institutions with oversight from the federal government). So there’s not really a step ahead there.

There is a big difference between using code to manage and move money and using to actually be money.

Code has two properties that make it wholly unsuitable to be money, first is it’s written be humans and we always make mistakes and second technology changes so quickly and abruptly that it’s bordering on insanity to believe that this is a good idea.

quite often the under-automated things are not "higher-level", but the missed details about the lower levels. think of all of the random bugs
The FIRST order of business is to control a known deadly pathogen that is airborne, and has now spawned a variant that has very high contagion levels, with R0 in the 5-9 range.

It has been repeatedly proven that vaccines, masks (particularly N95/FFP3 level), and ventilation work against airborne diseases in general and CV-19 in particular.

The hard peer-reviewed scientific papers on all of this are so legion that I won't attempt to link them here.

Even if we assume that COVID-19 and flu are relatively similar in risk to children that get it (it's impact is already greater [1], and is already a top-10 killer of children [2]), the fact is that CV-19 has an R0 of 5-9, vs Flu at around 1.2, so being much more contagious, it will affect many more kids, and otherwise unlikely events will become common. Ignoring the risk is foolish.

Schools are already known to be a large vector for airborne diseases, and the CDC advocates all students and teachers who can to get flu vaccines for this reason.

As noted above, I watched as report after report from Israel, BG, Quebec and others showed general population cases tracking school openings, vacations, and closings.

There is solid evidence that Delta is not only a risk among children, but also to the community at large.

Against this, you posit some hypothetical emotional harm to children of wearing masks.

This is absurd on its face, but we'll discuss it.

About masks in general, there are many other professions that wear them all day, not only physicians whom you glibly dismiss. I've read countless physicaian/nurse/HC accounts mentioning wearing masks all day. I've worn masks or even full respirators all day for some tasks in my composites shop, and also when helping others with drywall or other dusty work. There are many other professions that do so. This is not a problem. Hell, I've worn them skiing all day.

There are also multiple cultures who do. You don't think Muslims are a good enough example, consider the Inuit, who wear coverings face coverings for long periods daily almost from birth, barely exposing their eyes.

Humans are the most adaptable species on the planet, and children are the most adaptable among us.

Your claims of some kind of emotional harm are pure conjecture. Seriously, you dismiss all other evidence yet produce not a scintilla of your own.

You claim you aren't trolling, but if not, then this looks an awful lot like a lot of motivated reasoning around supporting an "I don't like it" attitude.

Remember, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

The precautionary principle says to FIRST take care of the large, deadly, demonstrable, and present danger.

You want to instead put a marginal, possibly emotional, hypothetical, and at-best-distant danger in the front.

That is not a recipe for success.

> But that’s it. That’s the only catch.

I'd like to add one drawback with this solution: Complexity.

From my experience, complexity can easily lead to more problems than what it solves. With all the "blackboxes", e.g., WASM, JS, SQLite, IndexDB, ..., it might be hard to find bugs. Most of the tools used are somewhat stable and mature tough. SQLite, for example, has a whooping 100% test coverage (line coverage at least).
"Most people today regard America’s experiment with alcohol prohibition as a national embarrassment, rightly repealed in 1933. So it will be with the closures and lockdowns of 2020-21, someday. "

I don't think so.

Everyone seems to forget that the purpose of the lockdown was to make time to prepare enough ventilators for those that the disease would effect seriously. It definitely went on for way longer than it needed to I'm not complaining.

I also think the whole covid experience has had an overall positive effect on society. It has been a negative effect for people like landlords or businesses owners who exploited their employees.

Things have been shaken up, and the situation is still developing from that input.
Most GUI driven OSes at least endorsed a framework/toolkit even if it's not exactly part of the OS. Some of those make it very hard to do things quickly. I don't think you can make a fast Android app using the endorsed toolkit. It simply takes too long for the widget constructors to run.

Yes. Just as an example, I use VSCode. VSCode no longer works on CentOS 7. It needs a newer glibc, so I'm going to have to recompile a lot of stuff and do some PATH fiddling to get it to work.

It's usually not that it's hard to do that for your packages. It's when their dependencies go out of date and I'm looking at having to build a Frankenstein system where I'm running one up to date system on top of a really out of date one, and trying to make the two co-exist in a single OS.

It's not insurmountable, but it's enough effort that dealing with occasional Arch breakage becomes easier. Or even something in between like Ubuntu.

That is a bold prediction since people are constantly reinventing the web. For a few years it really looked like Macromedia Flash was going to be a thing to learn.

>not all at once generally

I don't get the impression that anyone distrusts them all at once, more like sequentially. Like, when Mark Milley was in the news, people were going oh, the military is run by libs too.

And I'm not interested in debating whether or not the people who run things actually should be respected or not, what's disconcerting to me is that anyone who generally appreciated the military would not realize that's how the high ranking people think.
Okay. But that's mostly poetics.

This definition means that complexity is completely dependent on the individual. And also probably on how distracted they are and how much sleep they had and how much coffee they've consumed.

I can't accept a definition that makes code complexity go up if the engineer looking at it had to stay up late with a sick toddler. Or that makes a bunch of spaghetti obfuscated code go down because the engineer who obfuscated it put in this one neat trick that only they know about.

Also "the ways that code interacts with the rest of the universe" pretty much pegs all software at a complexity of infinity (got to take into account those gamma rays flipping bits).

Not particularly useful beyond selling an Excell spreadsheet to management that's going to give an "accurate estimation" because this time is going to be different.

It’s also worth considering the scope of intended and realised meanings in a work, and whether or not we’d consider that dynamic as one worth pursuing in the future.

Kind of like the old joke about English teachers looking too deeply into classic literature, isn’t it? I might not intend to relate and extend layers of context with the line, “John sat squarely on the desk,” but a reader observing that line as part of a surrounding text could infer meaning and purpose beyond what I originally intended.

With AI-generated text, that dance of writers filling (or deliberately avoiding) their work with meaning, and readers lifting the meaning out of the work, becomes much less human in and of itself. Or does it? Will schools of the future choose AI-written stories and film for students to learn from, over material written by people?
