I am genuinely curious besides NAS what do people use gigabit ethernet for?

For those at the top, yes the system is absolutely working as intended, and they do their level best to keep it that way. The problem is that the system itself has some serious drawbacks and that's what the original article is about. Most of the 'created value' you mention is created as a side effect of the quest for wealth (and on a very related note, power) but for most people on Earth doesn't come close to compensating for the created costs (which can largely be avoided by the wealthy). Did you actually read the article? It's all explained there much more eloquently than I could do it.

After my day in software engineering I cannot grind leetcode. Why is it OK to demand people grind leetcode and pass ridiculous circus interviews, but it's not OK to demand they show a personal project they worked on? Both our equally time consuming to pull off.
> Email and SMS aren't reliable, you've no way to know if they've been read.

For me, ephemerality, one-shot, and unidirectionality are characteristics, not issues.

There is not a single entity that is getting all of it, which is the most important to me. Encryption is nice, but for most of my communications, that's not the most important feature.

Assuming that media and consumers will want to consider photos/videos of random everyday people, it would require that:

1. All manufacturers, including manufacturers of shoddy but cheap mass-market devices (ones that a not-wealthy person would have on them to document interesting events) support that cryptographic signing in all their devices;

2. None of the signing keys/secrets can be ever extracted from any such devices;

3. None of these manufacturers or their employees ever generate a valid key (or a million valid keys) that would have been put in a camera of the same model that respected journalists use, but are just available to the government where the factory resides, or just for sale on some internet forum to sign whatever misinformation a resourceful agent wants to publish.

Signing pictures can mostly work with respect to a limited set of secure, trusted hardware manufactured and delivered with a trusted chain of supply, where a single organization is in charge of the keys used and the set of keys is small enough to control properly. E.g. Reuters might use it to certify photos taken by Reuters people using specific Reuters-controlled camera hardware (and they can do that just by ordinary signing of what they publish). But there's no motivation for most people in the world to accept that overhead for the devices they use for photography and video, and there's no single authority to control the keys that everybody else would trust due to international relations.
I know. Horrible right.

Finally got to try Bitwig. I like how it approaches things and it seems to be extremely powerful but it was one fatal flaw: it has severe lag when recording tracking guitar, which is my primary use case. It's bad enough I can't use it. At first I thought maybe it was my rig - so I tried with Logic just to be sure everything was all right and it tracked perfectly. Bitwig seems geared more for midi/keyboards. Since my interest has been piqued I want to play around with that this week. Thanks!
I don't agree. Awk is very readable for people used to c-like languages like javascript. And it is much cleaner that Perl.

Of course, the teachers are not great (most good teachers are teaching stem subjects), most students won't pay attention to the texts, there are a lot good information in the text book. I don't remember most of them, but I do remember text made me want to study hard and go to college.

Which is probably for the best. If this type of trickery had made a meaningful difference, the people fooled by the trick would have had some legitimate complaints. Moreover it would have really undermined the credibility of the winner, even if it wasn't their doing.
See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#Variants_summary_table. base64url is common, with - and _ instead of + and /. As for concatenating, that’s not valid even in variants where = padding is mandatory: padding marks the end and is not allowed to occur mid-string. But I don’t think this is a problem, either: transparently concatenating Base64 strings is not generally a useful operation; I can’t think of any valid use case for it off the top of my head, I’m curious why you might think it useful. Base64 is a transfer encoding sort of a thing, and concatenating blobs while in their transfer encoding just… isn’t something that you do.

For context. Runelite HD is an graphical overhaul plug-in to go with Runelite, the de-facto 3rd party client for OSRS players. The project has been announced a while ago and regularly updated (teased).

This morning we learn that the plug-in would have been released today, but Jagex has asked the developer to shut it down.

Are you sure Youtube is serving you VP9 video? I've seen Youtube roll out AV1 to more and more devices so this may have something to do with that. You check check by right clicking the video and selecting "stats for nerds".

For me (Linux, Firefox) Youtube has been serving more and more AV1 content. Decoding speed for AV1 is very different between browsers if you don't have hardware support on your device.

I've personally never had too many frame drops on Youtube, but regardless of the quality I usually need to restart Firefox regularly because of memory leaks that cause massive browsing lag. Video content, specifically from Youtube, seems to cause this problem for me.

In case Firefox is your main browser, maybe check if the installed addons matter (try: menu -> help -> troubleshoot mode). I've run into a lot of browser crashes because of a seemingly unrelated addon messing with other pages; this took me a few months to find out.

I agree. This also ties back to the whole "a junior developer could clone Stack Overflow," or "I could do that in a weekend" mentality.

Sure, maybe a junior dev can make a simple forum, or you could make a web app that duplicates the functionality of SO at low loads in a weekend. But, when you're serving an average of 500 requests per second, you need to know what you're doing. And, IMO, this "knowing what you're doing" is the difference between knowing how to engineer a system and how to write an application.
This sounds like a lot of advice that boomers give, "do exactly what I did".
Agreed, but its not just backed by the military and police. Its backed by all the people interacting in the economy, both domestically and internationally.

Here is a script that I use to send SMTP mail, via the gawk networking extensions. I have a few different versions, but this is the most basic:

#!/bin/gawk -f

BEGIN { smtp="/inet/tcp/0/smtp.yourhost.com/25";
ORS="\r\n"; r=ARGV[1]; s=ARGV[2]; sbj=ARGV[3]; # /usr/local/bin/awkmail to from subj < in

print "helo " ENVIRON["HOSTNAME"] |& smtp; smtp |& getline j; print j
print "mail from: " s |& smtp; smtp |& getline j; print j
if(match(r, ","))
{
split(r, z, ",")
for(y in z) { print "rcpt to: " z[y] |& smtp; smtp |& getline j; print j }
}
else { print "rcpt to: " r |& smtp; smtp |& getline j; print j }
print "data" |& smtp; smtp |& getline j; print j

print "From: " s |& smtp; ARGV[2] = "" # not a file
print "To: " r |& smtp; ARGV[1] = "" # not a file
if(length(sbj)) { print "Subject: " sbj |& smtp; ARGV[3] = "" } # not a file
print "" |& smtp

while(getline > 0) print |& smtp

print "." |& smtp; smtp |& getline j; print j
print "quit" |& smtp; smtp |& getline j; print j

close(smtp) } # /inet/protocol/local-port/remote-host/remote-port

This allows me to bypass the local MTA (if present). The message ID is also returned, which can be useful to log.
Yeah, considering the actual day to day life of all people, Michael Phelps's genetic advantages are pointless. They confer advantage only in a specifically designed field that society has created and that is really a tremendous waste of time all things considered; it's just a performance.

But the aim of all this genetic stuff is not saying "well, Kenyans can make better marathon runners if we stick them into a sports contest." It's usually a lot more pernicious than that, and involves intelligence. And ordering society in some manner around genetic expressions in a way a lot more dangerous than recognizing some people are better at public performance than others.

Protonmail cannot, cannot protect you on their own from all privacy concerns, nor can they educate you in a frontpage splash.

Proper Opsec for dissidents requires multiple layers and technologies and simply cannot rely on a single vendor. Any proper company accepting credit card payments is going to be subject to court orders and there are limits to their ability to resist them.

Protonmail has taken extraordinary measures to limit their exposure to those risks but anyone who is assuming they can e.g. be an enviro-terrorist or CCP dissident and be safe solely because they use Protonmail is terribly naive and ignorant..

> every instance of attempts at building socialist governments have been tied at the waist to authoritarianism

Hence the fierce insistence from large parts of the socialist movement throughout history that it must be radically democratic - otherwise oppression, rather than liberation will be the result.
I appreciate your comments and agreeable insight about needless complexity, but I'm tempted to read this as "I don't understand it either, so they must be idiots".

I agree it could be better presented, but a sibling comment actually presents this in a way that makes more sense than OP, but without disparaging the whole field.
Recognizing a somewhat similar incident from one's own country's history is not at all "whataboutism", especially when there was no obvious intent to diminish the impact of the original subject or otherwise distract from it. Not every comment on a web forum is an attempt to argue or act in bad faith.

MIT explicitly permits merging, publishing, sublicensing, and selling. BSD isn't explicit about it. BSD 2, 3, and 4 aren't explicit about that. Some people (e.g., lawyers) care about licenses being explicit rather than relying on implicit phrases like "any purpose" which sound rock solid but can still technically be argued about in court.
I would assume you'd also need to have some sort of armed forces too, otherwise whichever country wants you data can sail over with their Navy and take it.

2. You implement a basic, fixed (but can be expanded) ACL-type system based on categories such as "hacking content", "politically sketchy content", "sexual content", etc.

Who or what ensures that the Q conspiracy channel is properly categorized as "politically sketchy content" and not "hacking content"?

> and the tour de force that is the M1 doesn't count as innovation?

Not really. You can't buy an M1. It's a part of a bigger product. Is the M1 impressive alone? Or is the MacBook and everything else including the M1 impressive?

And it's not the first chip Apple has done. It's just the first one for a small selection of computers. The M1 a tour de force? No.
In that case no-one has violated your privacy - your wallpaper is private, so friend A didn't, and you invited friend B over, so they definitely didn't.

I would entertain the idea that friend A is being a bit of a douchebag by painting stuff all over your house without you asking them to, but if you subscribe to that thought process you'd already be running an ad-blocker and this scenario wouldn't ever occur in the first place.
That would only make sense if all transistors were the same size.

They're not. Not even close. Especially, in combinational logic they're all over the place.

When verilog is being turned into gates there are many arguments the engineer can give the tool and they will give very different results. It's kinda like picking which optimizations get turned on during compile, like picking speed or binary size, although not exactly like that.

The industry tried using bit/area, because an important advantage of small transistors is more memory/area, but that has basically all the same complications as well so it doesn't really work like one wants.

So just counting transistors can be totally unfair when two designs are made for totally different applications.

In the end picking a node is a complicated, multi-dimensional, decision. Often, and more often than the public thinks, the smallest one is the wrong decision. Note: Google's TPU is at least a generation behind the bleeding edge, if not two, and not because Google can't afford it if they want to.

So, basically expect the marking names to continue for process node names for the foreseeable future.

Then the issue is with the self-described socialists who don't want socialism. Market based capitalism with wealth distribution and strong social safety nets is not the same thing as a society in which the means of production are communally owned. In fact, the two are in direct opposition of one another, and cannot coexist.

I don't disagree with you that most "socialists" want what is essentially a government modeled on the Nordic states. But its highly problematic for those people to delude themselves into thinking that is socialism. I think it boils down to a bunch of lemmings who essentially want social democracy who don't realize a fraction of their comrades genuinely want to abolish private property and install an authoritarian government. At the very least it makes one doubt how seriously their loud opinion should be taken when those opinions are completely internally inconsistent.
The people you highlighted to the best of our knowledge seemed to have done such a shift out of their own volition. My conspiracy is that in my examples people are being payed towards an orchestrated destabilizing agenda.

What are the debates being resolved?

Clear evidence that one group differs from another doesn't provide any useful information for dealing with individuals.

Like make up a characteristic where women differ statistically from men, but have the difference be about 1/2 the standard deviation for either group. Lots of women will be closer to the average for men than the average for women, and vice versa, there's no useful generalization to make from the clear evidence.

And lo and behold, most human characteristics are similar to this pattern, with clear distinctions available between groups and of no value in making decisions about individuals, because of intragroup variation.
> The idea that racism is wrong because we all have equal capabilities is preposterous to begin with, why, you might as well justify sexism in that way.

Nobody challenges that women are physically weaker then men. Trying to point to this, and scream out of loud as part of some fetish is preposterous, and trying to justify sexism.

Nobody denies that genetics exist. Waging a sneaky campaign to seep into scientific publications to legitimise racism, and attempting to "scientifically pronouncing somebody dumber than others" is preposterous, and is racism.

This vexation of finding scientific basis for somebody's inferiority is exactly what German, and American Nazis did in nineteen thirties, while hiding behind the fig leaf of "doing real science."
True, this probably didn't actually change the results, but it likely narrowed the margin in an already narrow vote.

There are more than 200 people working on the Rust project itself. Depending on how you define “Rust programmer” there are already companies that employ that number of people individually.

That said you’re not wrong that it’s a gargantuan task that can’t be realistically undertaken, just you’ve really really underestimated the number of Rust developers.

Isn't it intuitively obvious, though? At the beginning of the disk, the radial velocity of each sector is much higher than at the end of the disk. It stands to reason you should want your swap file to be where it can be most quickly accessed, and that higher radial velocity should translate directly into lower seek times.
