Better than driving on a real road whilst talking to a camera off to the side, no? Every car scene in every movie and TV show is "fake" too, just so you know.
I hope so?

More seriously, I think I'm coming around to -- I don't care where or how the applications are made per se. I used to hate the web-stuff->desktop applications idea (electron et al) because it seemed dumb and slow, but both Discord and Obsidian disprove that pretty well I think.

It really is about "where is your stuff." It's fine to optionally store whatever in whoever's cloud. But increasingly, I believe that anyone developing any sort of application in which the user's stuff and how it moves around is not 100% transparent is quite literally evil and I wish them utter failure.
At Berkeley, this depends on the major. If you're accepted to the College of Letters & Sciences (which houses degrees such as Physics, CS, Math) with an intended major, you're actually undeclared when you start out.

Once you complete your lower division prerequisites passably (typically after two or so years), you can then declare your major as a CS degree.

This isn't the case for College of Engineering which houses the EECS program (while sharing the same department as CS, confusing I know), wherein admissions are more selective, but you don't need to declare your major. You also have the advantage of already being in the program, which helps with registering for courses (especially upper-division courses, which typically only have a small number of slots reserved for non-majors).
Oooh it's kickin off now.
I agree: space is a SHARED place... why should some US corp. be able to pollute it ????? And why should US citizen ONLY have something to say about it ???? I can understand that the US may decide what is above its territory, but I surely dont want to MY french nights with Musk or Bezos satellites... and moreover without my consent !
If it comes to needing to discharge your student loan debt and you’re gonna declare bankruptcy anyway, it’s fairly easy to convert some or all (depending on the amount) of it to credit card debt. In fact I did this bec I’ve just been rolling it around on 0% apr cards for the last few years, paying essentially 0% interest.
I can't think of anyone powerful enough who isn't also rich. Although "rich" is a vaguely defined term. There still to me seems to be a direct relationship between money and power - billionaires can push the world further than millionaires, than the upper class, etc.
This was the point of the question :) To see what questions we need to ask if we're designing a software development environment in 2021. It may well be true that the current paradigm is sufficient: I was just curious what else came up.
My mistake, I appreciate you correcting me.
- Docker's built-in service management works plenty well enough for a lazy home setup, which saves you having to care about how your server's distro manages services.

- Using docker means I can easily specify the version I want to run.

- Docker images are, for some reason, often simpler to configure than OS packages, for the same result.

- It's also really easy to tell what you need to back up, and to be sure that you got all of it. Plus it's very easy to make sure everything—data and config—for every service lives in a single branch of the filesystem tree, for further convenience.

- For similar reasons, entirely erasing a daemon is very easy.

- Using docker means I don't have to care which version(s) of the software I need is provided by my distro, or go track down extra repos, or whatever. This makes it easy to run a boring-but-stable distro to minimize maintenance, but still have the latest versions of the things you're actually running, and upgrading one of them will never mess up anything else.

- There's a lot more server software available through docker-hub than most (all?) distro official package sets—and, again, that works the same no matter which distro you're on, so everything about it, including the knowledge, is portable.

- All that, using the exact same docker-compose files or simple shell scripts, works the same on any distro, plus macOS. Migrating to a new server can, trivially, be made as simple as rsyncing your entire docker-stuff tree and then doing one "docker-compose up -d" or running a single very boring and simple shell script one time.

Really, the only down-side is you can't use it on FreeBSD right now.

As someone who's run Linux servers (public-facing, even, in the early days) at home since, oh, 2000 or 2001 (plus managing them professionally) I can say that Docker's great for home servers. Less fiddly trivia to worry about. What distro's on my home server? I'm not even sure. I think it's Debian? Dunno. Hardly matters. I've written zero "config as code" stuff for my home set-up, yet could have a new server up with identical services in maybe 3-5 minutes longer than it takes to install the OS, and all but maybe a minute of that would be hands-off, just watching progress bars complete. With effort I could get that down even lower, but I got that much for free.
This is beyond ludicrous.

Your drivers license does not live with Apple nor does Apple control whether or not you have one.
I'm kind of curious where you live and how much time you spend outdoors? Or just people with similar opinions in general.

I'm right with you on the trackpoint. That'll be sorely mised.
What makes you think governments aren't involved? The article says:

> Apple’s mobile ID implementation supports the ISO 18013-5 mDL (mobile driver’s license) standard which Apple has played an active role in the development of

If you do a little casual googling, you will find references to the Australian government being involved in the development of that standard. You can also find proposals from the US Department of Homeland Security that refer to the standard.

Speaking of Google, Wikipedia says

> For example, Android's JetPack suite comes with specific support for ISO 18013–5 from version API 24.

Does that qualify as device agnostic?
This might not be anything like what you are looking for, so please ignore what I have to say. Beyond interacting with those who require GPG, I've usually found a better tool for the usecase. I'm [[grateful|https://philosopher.life/#Gratitude]] that GPG exists; we'd be lost without it. I don't want to use GPG, and I only use it when I'm forced to use it. There's tons of reasons to use public key cryptography though; it's hardly correctly integrated into our lives. I definitely want a world in which we relatively equally own the means of production, including the keys to our justified kingdoms. A yubikey is really waiting on the rest of the ecosystem to systematically adapt (and, I have no idea if or when that will occur, and I'm relatively pessimistic that it would be used wisely). I want to see yubikey related technologies dedicated to helping the global poor, especially in automating both liquid representation and redistributions of wealth (itself part of the problem of representation of our competing desires and theories of [[The Good|https://philosopher.life/#The%20Good]]).
I agree and had a very similar technique. Only change perhaps was all my notes were written as question on the left, answer on the right. Id just run through the page(s) top to bottom with hand over the answer repeatedly. If it was long after a while id just write down a new page omitting the ones i was confident in by that stage.

I would say that this is great for school but not a technique that really prepares you for 'life'.
He’s faulting the regulations for creating a complex situation that requires expertise, not saying no one should pay to navigate them.
I'm glad you found what worked for you! Everybody's different.

I've counselled students headed off to college, and I'd give them my recommendations (these days, I included taking notes by hand as that seems to be far more effective, and leave the laptop at the dorm). None followed it at first, and got poor results, then did, and things improved dramatically.

One thing I wish I had done was get a cheap cassette recorder and record the lectures. My notes were effective at exam time because they'd evoke the lecture memories, but are gibberish today because they completely lack context. I'd also have something special today to donate to the Caltech archives. All those lectures are lost to time.

P.S. with your username, you had to be a techer!
This is how it was done for me. I’m not OP. But I didn’t have access to the money at all. It went directly to the school.

Yeah you are basically right. I hate passwords with a passion so I guess it is foolish to even complain about passwords in the aggregate but I mean mentally it just adds a layer where I have to vaguely remember if I used passwords or another alternative form of authentication with a specific service.

I do a lot of data ingestion work, I run my own servers within a ZeroTier setup that links a bunch of machines together. I can only access it from my machines that have a set SSH key setup, so I agree, that's a great system. I ingest data from a bunch of data providers as well as some exchanges/brokers. But for example, look at the disparity for some of these web operators - Gemini only uses Authy for 2FA management iirc + password, Coinbase is Authenticator (or whatever you want) + password, Interactive Brokers has some weird bespoke setup that requires an initial mobile login and then another layer of auth that I can't fully describe. DigitalOcean is authenticator + password, GitHub is authenticator or SMS + password [I'm referring to actually accessing the website from a client device for all of these] Then they all have API key generation which has variable definitions. AWS is nice for its consistency with its AWS access key + private key combo that you can generate whenever you need with IAM profiles.

It's just... this is a lot to even need to know. I wish I didn't have to know the intricacies of all these crazy systems. I want to get some stuff done. I'd be down to have it be biometric or something. I'm tired of having to think about how I log into stuff and managing keys for all this shit. Literally - that's my complaint. It's all too much to keep in my head and I'm frequently frustrated by needing to recall this stuff. Sure, lastpass is fine for what it is and I also do try to keep my SSH keys safely stored for re-use where desired or generate machine specific configurations when that is reasonable for the project specification, but it's really just a headache for me.

I'd love a ssh key management solution that doesn't drive me bonkers - if you have any suggestions I'll owe you a coffee next time youre in town lol.
How does it compare to emqx?
Expectancy bloat in the ecosystem is a thing, but it's also democratic. So long as it's an unspoken requirement due to massive usage of typescript, I don't think it's undue influence. I don't always like the change of tides - I guess to a certain degree I say Javascript had an undue influence on my programming. But in other ways it's not undue, as there's clear market conditions etc
But on the day of the flight on the stage he went along pretending he’d biked there.
~2d was intended to imply effectively 2d for human activities, even airspace is probably closer to a layered 2d cake than true 3d like deeper space. LEO may be closer to an extension of airspace due to orbits and gravity. Still, due to the exponential growth with respect to the radius, there is significant room in LEO compared to anything terrestrial.
Doesn't the lecturer give out notes ahead of time?

I used to just print them out and then highlight or make my own notes over top of the printed slides to make sure I was internalizing it.
I hope Musk values his self-imposed mission enough to not take that risk. If he actually takes that flight it would be the single biggest threat to the future of space exploration.

I recently started making photographic images with pinhole lenses exposing directly to photo paper. It certainly changed what I pursued as 'good' photograph. To even think about composition, texture, tone, subject you first have to get past the difficulty, and ease of making mistakes in the technical process. It certainly gave me great respect for people who make art photography in the pre-digital era.
A large part of my motivation for trying this was looking at all everyone (myself included) snapping away all day every day making photos .. for what? .. It was hard to not just see them as habitual Trojan metadata carriers.

for home I can recommend openwrt running on a BT Home Hub 5A

you can buy them in the uk/ ebay for 15-20 pounds already with openwrt installed (you can do it yourself, but it includes a bit of soldering) - I have two in case the main one fails - talks to most if not all ISPs

I love openwrt now, it does take a bit of getting used to if you havent used it before.

I mainly use to lock my wifi down between hours for the kids. whilst keeping another wifi/ SSID open.

for security all my NAS's are wired and locked down to key wired computers - I keep meaning to create a Nextcloud gateway on docker

giantg2, GiorgioG, and nradov seem to be agreeing: everyone who lacks a counter-indication such as allergy to a component of a certain vaccine shoud get vaccinated!

I seem to have missed which statement is illogical.

Vaccination does not prevent the targeted pathogen from entering the body. While it technically can prevent the pathogen from reproducing by pure chance encounter with the immune system, normally this does not seem to be the case. Rather, the immune response to the pathogen or to cells altered by the pathogen tends to begin after the pathogen is already reproducing in the host, and is stronger after suitable vaccination.

In the case of a virus, this results in lower viral load, reduced symptoms in the host, and shorter duration of active infection. Lower viral load and reduced duration of infection result in less viral shedding. Reduced viral shedding results in reduced transmission to other hosts.

This results in less risk to others, regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not, and less disruption to society. If you can't get vax'ed yet, or have doubts as to safety (there is no reasonable doubt as to efficacy), your best protections are to isolate from all others as much as possible and wear a tight-fitting facemask† of appropriate material when you cannot isolate, until you either you can get vaccinated or you receive enough information for you to believe the benefits outweigh the risks.*

* Note 1: Keep masking and isolating for at least two weeks after receiving the last requried dose of a vaccine. This is you're immune system's learning period for the current COVID-19 vaccines, and allows your immune system to maximise its defense.

† Note 2: The primary benefit of masking is to reduce the spread from a knowingly or unknowingly infected host to other potential hosts. It also slightly decreases the wearer's risk of becoming infected via airborne transmission (moreso if wearing a very firmly and properly fitted N95 mask or better).
It’s wrong to say it doesn’t want anything, it’s solely motivated to minimize training error.

If you align what minimizing train error means with a larger purpose, it will seemingly make magic happen.

Just like you, online, trying to figure out how to turn this into copulatory success. It doesn’t matter if you succeed but don’t understand why, only that you succeed.

Which just requires choosing a different shell (altitude). It takes me more effort to write this post.

It's more work during launch and orbit raise, but at that point you don't have to worry about hypothetical or future satellites, only the existing ones. Space is big, it's easy to avoid millions of satellites, as long as they're actively powered and you know where they are.
I enjoyed Agency, having said that, there's a significant plot thread that is just resolved in a very offhand and uninteresting manner. There was a lot of similarity with The Peripheral as well, and there's what feels like forever in the middle where nothing happens except characters shuttle repeatedly between different locations without really knowing anything or doing anything actually significant. None of the viewpoint characters do all that much or have much 'agency'. All of the actually interesting stuff is happening offscreen.

I suppose it's strange to say I enjoyed it given those criticisms, but I do like his writing, and there are some fun ideas hidden in there too.

You would need the inheritee and the engineer to both be willing to commit murder and run the calculus that the money is more valuable than the risk of them going to jail and losing their inheritance forever, which is probably a really bad bet given one of them is a spacex engineer or something and the other is, what, an heir to the bezos fortune?

Silly
I recommend Schmidle’s recent book “Test Gods” if you are interested in Virgin Galactic and test piloting. Schmidle is not an engineer and I would have enjoyed a deeper dive into Virgin Galactic’s design choices, but it is a great book about (among other things) the tensions that emerge when a complex technical project is overseen from a distance by utterly nontechnical, PR-oriented upper management. The company’s communications and business strategies make a lot more sense knowing that the people calling the shots do not comprehend in the slightest how their product works.

For many reasons (some alluded to in this article, many more in the book), SpaceShipTwo is an inherently risky experimental test craft—with death always waiting on each side of a narrow envelope—and it always will be. Management is willfully ignorant of this. Engineering leadership has done what they can to make the vehicle safer (at the cost of performance), but the intractable issue is that any one mistake by a pilot is likely to be fatal (and already has been, in the 2014 accident). Voices like Stucky and Ericson who wanted to acknowledge the inherent danger of the vehicle (which doesn’t mean grounding it) have been ignored and ultimately removed. The company’s business requires the vehicle to be understood to be safe by the public. The chickens will come home to roost.
Or not. Since a random process doesn't care, its easy to carry around indefinitely. Like that closet you never bother to clean.
Without delving into COVID-related travel restrictions, the very first sentence was about dismissing middlemen in general. There are middlemen who add value and those who... don't. But the idea that I should, for example, be only able to buy a product directly from the manufacturer is not a great idea. Amazon retail and Alibaba and Walmart (among many many others) are middlemen.

The magic of Neuromancer is not just the story, it's in how its written.

An average sentence carries as much information and visuals as a whole paragraph in a more ordinary book. The data per character rate is absolutely insane, there's nothing quite like it. It's like reading a zip file. So fucking cool.

This aspect of the book will be next to impossible to capture in a movie... least you'd be expected to pause every few seconds to decipher what you see and what's going on.

So the chances for a movie adaptation that really groks the book are zero. But perhaps it's for the best.
Money creation happens when the money is deposited and loaned again

me -> deposit $100 in bank a -> bank a loans $95 to business -> business deposits $95 in bank b -> bank b loans $90.25

This loop repeats indefinitely until we're talking about fractions of pennies. The reserve ratio (and bank willingness to loan up to that ratio) determines the money multiplication effect. No bank is loaning more than it's actual deposits, it's just the effect of the same dollar getting deposited and loaned multiple times.

I intentionally took a down-level, going from director of a 40+ team to an 8 person team. It was an opportunity to work on a product that I was excited about, and I didn't believe my ego was wrapped up in team size. It seemed like less responsibility for more money was a great deal.

I still maintain that's true. However, in hindsight what I learned was that no matter the org, it's frustrating as a manager to not have the level of influence you're accustomed to...especially when you see organizational problems. I had more experience than my boss did in their role, and they were drowning. I realized within two weeks that I had made a mistake and could only watch. Six months later that entire org got dissolved and reorganized. That leader was laid off.

The only way I'd recommend a down-level to anyone is if you really believe you can accept people operating above your level being bad at their roles.
