How is the government going to get anything done if they're not allowed to pay off the mafia?

Or if you prefer, how is the mafia supposed to get anything done is they can't pay off the politicians?
If I've confused this for some other idiosyncratic argument about PGP's "authenticated" encryption, I apologize for scrambling the thread. Probably the top-line response re: PGP is that there might be no cryptographic tool in common use with a less coherently documented threat model than PGP.

When I started getting into reading pop psychology in my mid-20s, I was very lucky to have a dad who reminded me to be skeptical of this stuff, despite it all sounding very confident. Doubly lucky to have a brother-in-law who eagerly criticized Gladwell’s “Outliers.”

Signing commits is a local affair, you don't want to be uploading your private key to Github. You sign locally via command line and then push to Github where they get verified with your public key.
What else would they be signing with? They don’t have your key obviously

I actually read it in the way that Linus meant it — that the issue was with GitHub.
Because he has the street cred to not be diplomatic or political about an opinion. Agree with him or not, he conveys an idea about tech that draws from an incredible intuition and experience, each building on the next and showing an evolution of his thought. He doesn't worry about being "cancelled" and obscure down things with defensive caveats, or being shunned for liking some unpopular concept.
I don't work for GitHub, but I would eat my shoes if GitHub made any conscious choice at all in their design regarding keeping people on the web UI. It sounds almost exactly like a decision made to keep some sort of backwards compatibility without having to do any extra engineering, stray far from vanilla Git, or make the user experience worse for regular users.

Your point is only valid for speeds faster than you can run.

I don't think that qualifies you to say "No, absolutely not" to my previous point when you really mean "except under extreme speeds".

I've also "tried both". I skateboarded for two decades and worked in the skateboard industry for over half of that. I'm now teaching my 8 year old to skate. He feels way more comfortable than on his rollerblades because it's way easier to bail out.

The skateboard hitting something else is not relevant to the point being discussed.
Not really out of the context.
And that thing was probably the whole reason why posting and starting the discussion from this specific url is interesting, as it means a lot while being just little detail.
Architects shape often by saying no and the architecture of Linux and it‘s ecosystem is paramount to the tech industry. So we listen to when Linus loudly says no…
> Christopher Rufo defines critical race theory as everything he doesn't like

Not quite. Rufo knows what CRT is, and importantly, what shares the same problems CRT does. That is to say, different branches of the same general ideology that operate on different topics. The CRT model is kinda like ideological lego, you can just plug in a topic). The demon is legion and has many names. Rufo's stuff is mostly about calling woke thought in general CRT, since the name stuck. I haven't yet seen Rufo label things that aren't wokeness or influenced by wokeness CRT.

It's the same kind of thing as when we call Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy and all the Protestant sects "Christianity" even though they are not the same, or how we still call Zen "Buddhism" even though it lacks the supernatural component of its older cousins. None of those things is the same, but they share a family resemblance, they have a character to them that makes them unique among the sea of ideologies, religions and philosophies. Rufo's nailing "CRT" to that family resemblance, because the family is there, the demon is real, and it needs a name to be talked about usefully, not a legion of them.
Apple made a big-huge list of their extensions and things they've done some years back, which included their Blocks extensions: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1370.pdf

Apple (and others) have also very strongly informed us of the zeroing-things-out work they've done and how it saves them quite a bit of problems. There are folks on the Committee who value their already-existing users and implementations more, where indeterminate initialization provides them the performance and control they like. They also don't want to make those people have to change their code to init things. It's not a direction I agree with, but you have to remember that people like me have a much larger burden of proof. Indeterminate initialization is the status quo, and changing the status quo requires a paper, attending meetings, convincing others, and passing a vote. It's very much an uphill battle, and you have to bring a LOT of evidence to the table to fix it, and even after you bring that evidence you're required to prove it deserves to be in the standard. A lot of work!

For initialization, I am hoping to standardize "= {}" as a way to guarantee a proper static initialization. (Paper here, but needs some more work: https://thephd.dev/_vendor/future_cxx/papers/C%20-%20Consist...) Committee has received it favorably, and it should make C23.

For other things, you might need to lean on C23's attribute feature (e.g. "[[clang::must_initialize]]" and stuff) to provide some of that functionality. Not quite ideal, but attributes have standard placement and are infinitely extensible by implementations, so it gives vendors room to provide users what they need while the Standards Committee chews through proposal after proposal to get things done.

Hopefully this is a little helpful to you about the process!

> I gave you all weekend -- Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

That's quite generous of you. In the spirit of charity I'll reciprocate and then some. I'm going to give you the rest of your life to learn why love of God and love of wisdom are duals. Don't worry, given your obvious philosophical immaturity I don't expect you to figure it out anytime soon, but I honestly hope that you do in good time. A good place to start would be a deeper study of the three normative sciences: ethics, aesthetics, and logic. Respectively they can be thought of as the sciences of what is good, what is beautiful, and what is true. Pay particular attention to their necessary premises. As with all human understanding, they are subject to confusion, so be very sure to keep your thoughts both clear and distinct.

As for your particular examples, they are one and all either nonsense or irrelevant. One thing that Aristotle taught us is that there are persons who cannot be educated, only persuaded. Try not to be one of them.
Interesting. Reading Mozilla’s justification it does make a lot of sense, however it is kind of unfortunate to lose something that was pretty beneficial in terms of performance because of some bad actors. It’s not really viable to maintain a whitelist of trusted libraries either, and doing so would create a whole new class of problems.

Ideally CDN’s are powerful and ubiquitous enough these days that at least when you have the end user going and asking for JQuery from Cloudflare or whoever the CDN probably has a very fast location right next to them distance wise and that data should get over the wire pretty dang quickly. It’s still another performance hit though since you know at least the first time on the site they have to go and get it and if you are hosting your own stuff it might make more sense to just webpack everything together and hand it off to the CDN instead of having something like JQuery be on its own. Less overhead for opening another network request and all that.
I used some WinDev and WebDev at my last job. The tool isn't that bad, it's nice to have everything that just works from my IDE. On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan at all of using closed-source software. I also don't like using products for which the marketing is putting semi-nude women everywhere. Some people complained about that marketing aspect (https://www.jdp-pub.org/avis/windev-catalogue/) and they toned it down, so what's in that link is actually tame compared to what they did before.
You don't. The waiver between the ownee and manufacturer specifies that the owner is liable. Beyond that point, insurance solves the issue. Currently, the driver is liable and is required by law to carry liability insurance, so there is not much change from the consumer perspective. From the insurer perspective, the relevent data point us how often self driving cars mess up compared to human driven ones.
So, to be clear about what's happening here, you only need an SSD for fast plotting in Chia. So it sounds like they are plotting to fill up HDDs, then reselling the SSDs to hedge against the possibility that the coin's value is not going to rise. It doesn't mean they're getting out of the game. It just means the network space has stabilized, and it's no longer necessary/valuable to plot any more space. But if the exchange rate rises, you can bet the network space rises too, requiring more resource-intensive plotting. That's why Chia is only more efficient than PoW when it isn't in demand.
I do have an anecdotal conter-example to your theory.

In my country, highschool last three years. The first year, i was living in the dorms with some of my classmates. One, let's call him M, was fairly dissipated and, while everyone would rather play and discuss than study, and had shitty grades in everything but biology. Math was his weakest, with grade ranging from E- to D+ (i try to convert grades here, my grades wer in the A range and the average was B-), and English/spanish were not a lot better.

At the time, at the end of the first year, we had to choose specialities and which kind of diploma we could do. the "general" kind, with to specialities, economics/humanities or science, or the "technological" one, with three (electric, mechanic, civil). He realized at the end of the year that the only thing he wanted to do was biology, but as this subject was only available in the science speciality, he was fucked. Impossible to get to the "general"branch with his grade. He struck a deal with the school administration: 4 hour a week added to his curriculum, one hour every night after eating and before going in our dorms to make sure he worked. The year, in math, did not start well. He had a F/F- as his first grade (the average was D+, top of the class was B), but our professor was exceptionnal. we had 3 math illiterate in our class, and while the notation was pretty harsh on them, he took time to help everyone understand with interesting examples, stories and exercises. He even took hours of his own time for supplementary lessons. Our class relation was special too, we were only 20, and spent a lot of time together, even after college. Last time i talked to M he was doing a Master in marine biology, and aimed for a doctorate

End of the 3rd year, we have to get the national test. Our class ended up with an average grade of A-, M had a B+ and wasn't the lowest scorer in math (of our class). Miles ahead of the nationnal average (C+/B- that year). It was a public technological highscool in a rural area. The other close HS was one dedicated to farming. Culturally, we did not start at an advantage compared to the average kid of our country, i'd say we were at a disadvantage. But great teachers and small, but close class can help you emancipate from some of your determinations.
I want to hope that this change will happen worldwide, but I doubt it.

It's a shame because I think of all the options presented as ways to increase quality of life this one would have the most drastic impact to the most number of people.
Well, Bitcoin supports total surveillance by default, so I do push back that crypto has solved that problem. Really only Cash and Monero avoid this yeah?

The government should have access to everyone's financial data when presenting a warrant. If the current system doesn't work that way, we should reform the system. Not throw out a useful tool for enforcement of law.

I am generally emotionally unaffected by celebrity deaths, but this one really shocked me a few minutes ago when I saw the headline. I was frantically searching for something piece of info to indicate it was fake, or a parody. Michael K. Williams was such a standout in any role he took.

FWIW Wyoming is full of smoke from California right now. It isn't as dense as it is in California though. It was really bad in Nevada and parts of Utah. Still very valid points though.
The Rust packaged in Debian works to build Debian packages; for that purpose, it's fine. For other Rust work, I'm hoping that at some point Debian packages rustup, which would let people use Debian's secure trust chain to bootstrap into rustup's secure trust chain.

I had to google what Torvalds currently do:

..."What is your job?" Torvalds replied, "I read and write a lot of email. My job really is, in the end, is to say 'no.' Somebody has to say 'no' to [this patch or that pull request]. And because developers know that if they do something that I'll say 'no' to, they do a better job of writing the code." [1]

Do we have any idea what will happen to Linux once Torvalds is not there? Is there any example in history of OSS development as to what happens when BDFL [2] is not there anymore?

I never heard of that. I'm originally from the EU and in the country I'm from, employers cannot control what you do in your spare time, and do not automatically own what you do outside your day job. In the US that's much more complicated.
My favourite is when someone collaborates on a PR and they create PRs for the PR's branch in the forked repo. That repo has its own numbers so you'll end up with merge commits referencing PR #4 in the main repo.
Keep in mind that illegal does not mean unethical, and vice versa. Parent comment is just stating what it was.
It's almost as if any crypto scheme whose mining entails the massive waste of a resource is going to cause problems.
Well that was my point - I wonder why we haven't set up a system that lets me sign the merge commit. Otherwise it's a commit purported to be authored by me but when you look it's actually signed by someone else.
It’s even worse, if somebody rebase-merges a pull request that you authored (thereby creating a new commit that you did not author), GitHub will show you as the author (without a separate committer, like it normally does when author and committer differ), and put “verified” next to it, which usually means that they verified that it was signed by your GPG key, but in this case, it means that the commit was created by GitHub.

Still implementation-defined, like any other field member! If you want to reply on bit-blasting structs, you need to shake hands with your implementer / ask for attributes. Not the perfect situation but there's way too many architectures for us to go yelling at people demanding they lay things out this way or that way.
> 10 years for a device from 2012 OTOH would be completely impossible.

Why? My Nokia N9 is still my daily driver. Only the lack of software updates is making it less and less useful.
The problem is that Git is used for two things: the Linux kernel and anything else. The Linux kernel has this really weird system of software development where nobody knows anyone else and they want to share all their changes over email. Torvalds, for reasons I can't figure out, only cares about that one, niche use case.
I read in some Nabokov's interview back in my time. At some point the questions goes like how do you would rank yourself among other contemporaries writers or something along that. He responds that it should be a typography sign, like a lying closing parenthesis, and then he would trace it as the proper answer. For me, it was the first time I hear about a emoji.
Why not accept Monero as well? Unlike bitcoin, it's actually viable to use it as a currency.
Very good point. Depends on the company.

I was fortunate, in that I didn't have a "shower clause" in my employment contract, so I was able to do a lot of extracurricular work.

In fact, it was a principal reason that I stayed at that company. They paid me...OK...for doing the work I hated (managing -but I was also a good manager), and let me have enough bandwidth to do my extracurricular work; which was my true passion.

Basically, the work I didn't get paid for, was what I really wanted to do. They were extremely happy with the work I did for them, which did not reflect my true, personal passion. I feel like I was "just going through the motions," as a manager.

But I also firmly believe that if I am given responsibility for a task, then I do it to the very best of my ability; whether or not I am passionate about it, and I'm actually a really decent manager (for the type of team I led).

After leaving that company, and learning (the hard way) that no one wants to work with a 55-year-old engineer, willing to work at half the wages of far less-qualified people (because I already had my retirement set), I was forced into early retirement, and actually achieved my dream, which is writing code to help out NPOs, for free.
There are tools like the Tor browser, age and such, but it is challenging to hide your online identity because of fingerprinting, and to hide your online data because of the metadata, and also the data.

For example online services today use data in transit encryption against man-in-the-middle adversaries, and data at rest encryption against snapshot adversaries, but without protecting the metadata created when the data is searched or accessed. Even data in use encryption would not protect the metadata. The data is also exposed to persistent adversaries when you don't control the encryption key.

I'm working on a cloud database that uses searchable encryption, the first of it's kind and it's a monumental challenge. Encryption is the easy part, hiding the metadata is what's hard, the way encrypted data is accessed and searched paints a picture about the data. And the server can't be trusted, so the client or trusted third party must never share the encryption key with it, it also have to be able to verify the authenticity, soundness, completeness and freshness of the data.

In other words, don't expect much privacy. Privacy is very hard, and it's not a lucrative business to get into it. From companies to governments everyone wants to feed your data to their statistical machines to predict you. Don't try to hide, you will stick out like a sore thumb, try to blend in, use fake data, make it look real.
"the keyboard just flips up after pushing on two tabs."

This allowed for third party keyboards to be installed - https://web.archive.org/web/20060216223326/http://www.finger...

I get that they removed this feature to facilitate a unibody design later (weight/thinness), but I sorta wish they brought it back so one could possibly 'detach' the keyboard for desk / laptop stand use.
Sure, they can go right ahead and keep preferring to pass on exceptional people and hire mediocre people instead who will entertain their circus. Sooner or later they'll find out that won't work so well to stay competitive.

Curious that this comes on front page along side the whole Atlassian / Jira debate.

One of the major reasons Github does not / cannot do commit messages the way Linus likes is that the reasons why odd is changed are in and supposed to be in the ticket tracker (where non-coders / committers can view / comment / approve.)

This is not a technical fix that github can make - this is a fundamental split about where the power lies - most companies do not have the final say, the source of truth, in their codebase and consequently their repos.

Linus is on the side of history here. But for those of us coders living in ticket trackers for our daily job, it's a serious culture shock. For non- coders it's an existential threat.

On a separate note, I think there is a space for using hashes to compress tickets and all the ancillary evidence and sign offs, into one artifact, and then reference that in the repo commit. But I just can't see it in my head
The issue with full URLs is renames of user or project names. I don't trust the inbuilt redirection support of Github this much. Plus, tools that don't shorten full URLs would get extremely long lines in their commit messages. I think the Github issue numbers translate 1:1 to Gitlab if you use the Github->Gitlab exporter. If you used full URLs, it would either have to keep the URLs, or change commit hashes, neither a really nice option.

Also, not that chromium did something different. They reference tons of internal bug IDs, change IDs, and this commit msg also has an URL with the non-standard domain go (no TLD):

https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/8b4b1831e333a43d...
Nobody uses Beta or Self. And, no matter how much alphabet soup MS throws at its long, rolling UI debacle, it demonstrates nothing about general programmers' current level of interest in OO.
We tend to accept anything that parses the C Standard - even only a part of it - as a viable implementation! For example, static analyzers are viable implementations of the standard, even if they don't produce code.

I think getting this feature into one other implementation and then writing a paper on it would help. Unfortunately, the cutoff for "new papers that must be submitted to be considered for C23" is October, so there's not a LOT of time, so we'd need to find a 2nd implementation quick-fast, and then write the proposal quick-fast too!
