Take a look through and undergrad CS curriculum. A lot of what you're missing would be breadth stuff - math, basic physics, introductory logic, operating system theory, computer architecture, digital systems, algorithms and data structures, compiler theory, finite automata, ...

Personally I'm a big advocate for learning all of this stuff, even if you don't ever need it for your job. It still changes how you think about problems and makes you more well rounded (though formal education is not the only way to be more well rounded).

If you have an undergrad degree or past experience in a different area, you may not be "missing" anything from the perspective of being well rounded.
The DCP firmware has multiple endpoints. Currently, we only use and understand the main endpoint, which lacks raw I2C/DDC/EDID interfaces. Presumably this is available on another endpoint, but we haven't looked at this yet. Your gist gives me hope.

The HDMI port on the Mini is funny. The M1 supports exactly one internal display (the panel on a MacBook or iThing) and one external display (over DisplayPort/Thunderbolt). This is why M1 MacBooks can only drive a single external monitor.

For the Mini, the "internal" display is an internal DisplayPort connection, converted to HDMI with a mcdp29xx chip, and stuck on the HDMI port. Expect weirdness.
Everyone knows why they applied, but for the benefit of employers, we have created a society in which it is not acceptable to say "I'm only here for the money, I literally do not care about your company."
Depends on which Yubikey. The nano series (aka the "gnubby") are designed to be permanently plugged in. The 5 and 5C are designed to live on your keyring.
The yubikeys are designed to be non-clonable, so it is two factors: something you have and something you are. Not all factors are created equal, and in the past there have been issues with biometrics not really being a reliable indicator of something you are.
You’re right!

The issue with these trolls is that all that history exists publicly on the blockchain

So if someone is a troll you’ll see their transaction history of multiple blown up contracts and you’ll know to stay away

Not everyone is “rational” given the incentives, but you can choose who you play with based on how they’ve treated others
The maths may be right but the thought is wrong since it takes zero trees to offset the whole world's population of air-breathing organisms as all the CO₂ they produce started out as... CO₂. This is taken up by algae and plants, which are eaten by organisms which are eaten themselves until the target organism is reached, which will use the energy gained from consuming the previous hop in the carbon chain, breathing out CO₂ upon which the circle is complete.

Had humans consumed fossilised carbon the thought would still be wrong since trees only store the carbon temporarily, eventually it is released as CO₂ when the tree burns up or rots away.

This leaves aside the whole discussion on whether there is any need to offset CO₂ from non-fossil sources - which there is not as far as I can see.
The list is missing one of the most astonishing discoveries of all time: if you reflect the universe in a mirror, you can tell whether you are in our universe or in the mirror because the laws of physics are different in the mirror.

It's always odd when people with at least a somewhat scientific world view decide they can draw broad conclusions from their extremely limited experience, especially when they start throwing around hopelessly vague, impossible to measure terms like "do-er".

It's great to share your personal experience, that's not worthless, but you gotta understand and accept the limitations of that.
“Fire in a crowded theater” comes from the Supreme Court upholding the criminal conviction of a man handing out pamphlets protesting the WW1 draft. Not exactly the precedent I’d reach for if I was trying to argue that governmental regulation of speech is not dangerous.
Let me do more research and get back to you as this is the first time I’ve been accused of being a liar - I must have got some seriously wrong let’s see
I bet if high taxes for high level of public service can work anywhere, Iceland is it. The population is small (350,000 people) and highly homogeneous. One Icelander is similar to another so problems are more common.

US is vastly larger. New York City alone has 3X as many public school students as Iceland has people. We are vastly diverse ethnically, culturally and geographically. It is much harder to find "problems and solutions everyone agrees to" in the US than in Iceland.
I highly doubt it, too. Remember Jobs also not only saved Pixar from oblivion, he turned it into a powerhouse.
It doesn't defeat the purpose (if you take it, they've lost a Factor and you still don't have enough of them) but it will certainly teach them to have more than one.

(Aside: I have a story for another time about how I soft-bricked my first while finally getting around to setting up a second; that I've not yet quite recovered enough to properly tell...)
The bigger point that I've been trying to make (regardless of whether or not you think Apple would try to lock down an M1 Macbook) is that I don't trust Apple because of their history.

They have a LONG history of making decisions that ultimately are hostile to the user. Apple also has a history of explicitly locking out Linux users.

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Apple-T2...

> It looks like even if disabling the Secure Boot functionality, the T2 chip is reportedly still blocking operating systems aside from macOS and Windows 10.

This is further than Microsoft has ever gone with hardware.

Apple has been dipping their toes into the telemetry and ad tracking waters for a while now. If they see Asahi cutting into those margins because people are buying Apple hardware and installing an OS that prevents them from collecting user data, I can believe they'd see them as a threat.

Why? Again, history. Apple has shut down numerous developers who made "competing" features for iOS via apps in the App Store... even though those developers had the app first before Apple decided to add the features into iOS.

But yeah, something something security something...
I think it's clear that a "do-er" is someone who is more motivated, relatively speaking.

Surely you can grant some people are consistently motivated than some others.
Both writers seem overly sure of their own righteous-ness, but once everything’s mixed up in legal fees and reputation it’s hard to back down.

In the end though I have sympathy for Dawn, just because she is well drawn as a loser and that I can relate to.
A repo need not be in a US or any jurisdiction. If it is important enough to have legislative talking time, it is important enough to be made public for people to make their own decisions about it. By keeping it private this is all hat and no cattle.

Really depends who you are grouping into telecoms.

Comcast/AT&T etc are not utilities, nor are they classified as such.
FIDO keys are really more about avoiding human errors/ human auth. If you need to authorize a server you may want to just use a client certificate.
Isn’t there actually just a tonne of complexity with handling payments once you leave the United States? In many countries there are preferred payment methods that aren’t just “enter card number, expiry, and cvv” and users are going to expect/hope to see their preferred method (and perhaps a way to get to it if the interface guesses incorrectly because eg they are on a vpn or an expat with banking relationships in their home country.) And then there are all sorts of ‘security’ things where the user must be redirected in many ways. Now multiply the complexity in payment options by the complexity in payment flows: maybe someone may get charged a variable amount up to some limit in the future (eg like a hotel or car rental) or maybe you want recurring payments (and the customer may be accustomed to using a different method for these) or maybe there is some other kind of flow I hadn’t thought of—businesses are quite diverse. And that ignores the complications of local laws and international money movement and foreign exchange and, of course, tax.

I think there are a few possible definitions for the word ‘boring’

1. Things you can’t talk about at an ordinary dinner party—math is boring

2. Things that are mundane or pedestrian—checkout at a supermarket is boring

3. Things that are simple but tedious—transferring your contacts from your Rolodex to your mobile telephone is boring

I think that because some definitions apply to stripe for the user or developer (definition 2, probably 1) it is easy to assume that definition 3 applies to the front end or the system as a whole. And surely it is a success of stripe to make their business look so trivial that people assume it is trivial. But I don’t really think that’s true.
Or it could have been increased taxes due to the cap on SALT exemptions.

This is definitely becoming epidemic. Online sellers like Amazon should start adding "Verified" checkbox for actual companies. There should be clarity and filter on "Made in XYZ". The 3rd party sellers should be clearly identified. The UX can quickly show near-duplicate products and price spectrum. Shoppers needs tools to fight this epidemic.
Leaving this comment here for posterity: tftp I had completely forgotten about - it works (I installed the tftpd-hpa package on Debian). This is much easier than trying to transfer stuff with HotJava. FTP is harder, the supplied ftp client for this version of Solaris doesn't support passive mode so you need to configure the network to your QEMU VM as...something. I think at this stage I would like to set up a bridge on my second ethernet card and run all the VM's out of that, which would likely fix everything to do with networking.

Regardless, tftp is perfectly good for bootstrapping Solaris 2.6 into something gnuseable.
> stealing the future of the next

How would the next generation like having a pristine Earth, without any infrastructure whatsoever?

No roads, no buildings, no domesticated animals, no libraries, nothing but nature.

No pyramids, no poems, all the oil and coal in the ground, "noble savages" all around.
Just as long as a stack of bibles is involved.
So obviously, the policy isn’t perfect - no policy is perfect.

Keep in mind that most of the really important books, especially reference books, have never been allowed to be checked out from the library.

Chicago did this same policy about 2 years ago. It has similar demographics as New York, so you would assume that any problems New York is going to face would have already been seen in Chicago. And as far as I’ve heard, the benefits have far, far outweighed the problems. My family never had problems with late fees at the library (maybe $5 per year?), but the new policy definitely changed our library experience for the better.

Also, New York, Chicago, and many other library systems have extremely strong philanthropic organizations attached to them. It is very prestigious to be on the board and it is very prestigious to raise or donate money to the library. They are very well run and very well funded. Losing/Replacing 1-2% more books per year is not a financial issue for them. The ridiculous cost of eBooks are more of an issue than lost paper books.
There was a girl in my high school who really messed up her freshmen year - partied too much and flunked every class, pretty much no way back for her. So she transferred schools to another county and re-enrolled as a freshmen. But before she left she purposefully incurred a five cent library fine. The school refused to send her transcripts anywhere until she paid it. Clever girl.
Most of the YubiKeys support PIV (NIST SP 800-73) mode, which gets you X.509 support (and a PKCS#11 module), which has much broader support than PGP.
This looks like it might be a bit of an early testing-the-waters, or even a one-off to satisfy a specific set of customers (note that they're FIPS compliant only).

If there's more traction I would expect future models to include more features.

> This has all happened before” is true.

No, it isn't. Individual countries or small groups temporarily suspending the gold standard for a particular emergency and returning to it thereafter has happened (particularly in the final century of the general dominance of the standard).

Very much not the same thing.
Why does any of this need OS support? You should be able to configure fan speed via a BIOS menu as you have been since the late 1900s.
This completely ignores the why somebody is unmotivated.

I remember being beat down very early in my career. I took advanced math classes, could build compilers, loved embedded device work, wanted to work on more advanced things (operating system level, backend, devices, etc). The only people that would even talk to me were people that wanted web pages built. All because I wasn't fortunate enough to go to a big name school or any education beyond a BS.

Often the only motivation I had at that point was to not starve. But after working for an abusive boss and 2.5 bad companies. I was burned out, used up, and left with nearly zero motivation.
I bought some Yubikey standards back in 2014 and they were $25 apiece. The Yubikey 5 NFCs I got 4 years later were $45 apiece, but had NFC and did more stuff. They released some U2F-only yubikey security keys that I thought were $20 but I am not sure (they were blue, and cheap).

Now these, which the site suggests can only do U2F/Webauthn with fingerprint, are $80. I think it's cool to have a portable fingerprint-secured webauthn token, but it's disappointing to see them so expensive. I wonder if this is the long-term price, or if they are more expensive temporarily due to supply chain issues or something like that. Or, maybe they are substantially cheaper in bulk.
After reading the article. I initially just wanted to bring up first ammendment freedom of speech and then dive into one of the reasons universities were created for in the first place. Which was for the purpose of getting the opportunity to experience and communicate with individuals from all sorts of backgrounds and walks of life. It even at the time was presented as the place to discuss what we concidered the taboo subjects.

I can see some frustration or a sense of a loss of control by professors over the last one hundred years. Simply with the changes of who is accepted into universities these days. As we all know not every university was open to mixed races or having woman and men in the classroom. So I can see some professors feeling like they lost their opinion and control of the environment.

Going back to the taboo topics that most highschools would simply shut down. These taboo topics included religion and politics to cover the two that sometimes could sneak into a highschool for a few minutes before being erased from the classroom. With a simple stop! Followed by a unsatisfied "because I say so!" for any student who pushed the envelope.

Living in this day and age I have seen the dramatic change from lets agree to disagree and walk away from it. Without social consequences or loss (unfriending someone on social media)

Sadly I can see it being an instructor led cancellation. Ive had a professor attempt to silence me in a classroom simply because that instructor was of a different political belief than me. The professor allowed students who politically aligned speak even though no facts were used and it was only emotionally driven rhetoric.

When I stood up for myself and argued freedom of speech and what the purpose of a university environment is designed for I merely got a baffled professor. Who immediately went on with the lesson and never made eye contact with me again.

The academy freedom alliance wrote an excellent letter. That is linked in the article and covers far better then I could. The wrongs of MIT against not only their policies, but against what higher learning is about and even the first ammendment speech.
I haven't used FIDO. If you lose your FIDO key, do you have the option of buying another one and making it authenticate like the original without having to inform all the servers of the change?

I think the only advantage of FIDO over OpenPGP is that some web services support it. Are there other advantages?
The most counterintuitive fact, er... fib is this nugget:

"0% selected the right answer on this SAT question: Circle A has 1/3 the radius of circle B, and circle A rolls one trip around circle B. How many times will circle A revolve in total?"

You know how hard it is to get 100% of the people to do something? Don't insult our intelligence like that, or of SAT test takers in general.
Open source contributions aren't discounted, they are treated just like any other development experience you have. A multi year effort at a job receives a few seconds worth of attention as they read the few lines you put in your resume and helps you get hired at higher levels. Open source gets similar levels of attention per level of effort expended by you, if it is a hobby project you spent a few hundred hours on then that is as relevant as a job you stayed a month at, ie not relevant at all unless the project is successful and headed by you.
I remember seeing a (gag) variation of counting sort that just provided each element as an argument to `sleep`.
You are right, but we don't know how "successful" people got where they are. Look at E. Musk, for example. Widely taken as the pinnacle of success, with his education, fortune, "achievements" literally built either on his family's apartheid's fortune or on putting his name on other's successes.
> “Price gouging” is precisely the behavior that makes it economical to keep around extra stock in case of supply shocks.

That idea doesn't hold a drop of water. If price gouging were legal, are you going to stockpile masks and sanitizer for a hundred years, so you're ready for the next gobal pandemic? Of course not: it's a dumb idea and you'd bankrupt yourself in storage fees and spoilage. Even an actual distributor wouldn't do that, given how short business time horizons are.

What a smart price gouger would actually do is 1) make what they would have made otherwise, except collect higher profits, or 2) watch the news closely and rush out to try to buy up as much as they can before the general public acts, then sit outside the store they bought them from and scalp the goods at an exorbitant markup. Then they can satisfy their greed without wasting money on long term storage fees.
Is it possible for a retail user (no domain, AD, etc.) to use a YubiKey as a Windows Hello second factor? Forgive me if this is obvious; I’ve spent a lot of time googling and I only come up with references to using in context of enterprise device/user management.

Because if YubiKeys could be used, this seems much better than the typical cheap USB fingerprint readers that are for sale.
> when the real cause was the pandemic.

No, the lockdowns were the cause not the pandemic. We didn't have to do lockdowns--they weren't on anybody's pandemic plans until March of 2020. Lockdowns and our reaction to Covid was entirely upon humans.

> It's not like everyone was going to continually working normally in crowded spaces with people dropping like flies in the hospitals. China especially was hit so incredibly badly in that first wave

Were they really though? Or was the hysteria in March off the charts?
Bitcoin Lightning Network fees are $0.02 per transaction. Yay for crypto disrupting legacy finance.
Importantly though it's a good single factor. Passwords aren't good.

1. They get repeated.

2. They get phished.

Even just as a single factor, even without a fingerprint reader, a yubikey is far superior to a password. Adding a biometric on top of that is wayyyy better than a password.

Most of what MFA has done for us is actually just provide slightly better "A's". It's not the quantity that counts, it's the quality.

Previously to reach a good quality we'd need multiple factors. We've reached a point now where we have standards for authentication that are strong, often "strong enough", even with a single factor. A password then becomes a bit of a bonus.
Charles Schwab supports it
Were it configurable, I would agree. But the Cloudflare DNS servers can't be disabled nor redirected to local DNS servers because it uses DNS over TLS.

For a platform that describes itself as "puts local control and privacy first", forcing DNS queries to be sent to an external third party seems like the exact opposite of what should be done. For those running their own local DNS servers for local control and privacy, Home Assistant won't respect the DNS servers configured manually or via DHCP.

It is also worth noting that if Home Assistant loses internet connectivity or if the Cloudflare DNS servers are blocked, Home Assistant will slow to a halt because it constantly (many times a second) tries to connect to Cloudflare.

> What sort of 3D animation do you want to do?

This is perhaps where I go wrong, as I assume it's 'all the same thing'. I currently work on a web app that provides an editing interface for 2D animation with DOM objects (so, rectangles), so I have a notion of using matrices for camera transforms but the extension into 3D animation seems like another planet. I get what you're saying with the tool perspective, but I'm usually nervous about "how do I fix something if something breaks".

In the past when I've spoken of what I work on with friends of friends who're professionals in other fields, and I'd frequently be asked about my 3D animation skills as they had some business idea they wanted to execute on. This experience was primarily my motivation to looking further into 3D rather than say gaming so gun to my head 3D modeling and editing would be the first stop.

But the comments here have been helpful

I think he's likely to trigger a lot of ire with this tweet. However, given what I know about his history, I think I know where this is coming from. Carmack himself did not finish school and was motivated early on to get involved in the profession of writing software despite lacking official credentials which entitled him to do so. I have a similar story and can relate. Therefore, I think what he's getting at is that it's important to just get started on something without waiting until you think you're "allowed" to. This quality of being a "doer" can stand out in colleagues. But of course there are many sides to the story. I don't think he meant to discount the others.

Update: I want to add that I think I recall being aware of figures like Carmack in my teenage years. Knowing of people like him, who were making lives for themselves by actively pursuing their interests, is I think a huge part of why I got involved in software early on in high school. It was a way for weird kids like me to have a sense of self-worth and accomplishment even if we were getting bad grades in more traditional subjects like "World History" or "Social Studies" on account of just not fitting in. And it was also at a time (in the 90s) when the economy highly valued such people going into the dot com bubble. So this tweet doesn't surprise me at all. I think the historical context I've given here probably describes Carmack's life as well and is really relevant in understanding his statement.
I agree. My complaint was that the title is clickbait. It promises a solution ("and what can turn it around"), which the content doesn't deliver.
Couldn't we make use of the excess solar energy that's often shown in the duck curve? That is, in the middle of the day, there's usually a time where more solar energy is produced than needed. We can harness that to capture CO2 during that time. It might not capture much but at least it's not wasted.
