Excuse my BGP ignorance, but wouldn’t every FB datacenter require physical access to reset router configs not just one cage?
Cages are not just for segmenting customers but also to segment levels of security. You can have a datacenter which is accessible to your typical tech responsible for rack/stack drive change operations while maintaining an area with high impact devices which can only be accessed with an elevated credential set.

Not that your IT department will be letting you update today, but something to look forward to is that Teams in Windows 11 uses the shared Edge WebView runtime (replacing Electron), which means it takes around 50% of the RAM it did in Windows 10.

Also, WSL graphics support (which isn't coming to Windows 10 for some reason), winget has been moved to stable (that is coming to Windows 10), and Windows Terminal is included in the box (but doesn't replace the cmd.exe or powershell.exe terminal emulator for some reason).
In fact, they often have terribly ordinary last words, i.e. whatever they said immediately prior to what they thought was a temporary intubation.
I try to avoid reddit.com/r/all and have my subreddits pared down to dogs, mechanical keyboards, tesla stuff, cryptocurrency, sailing, and locally-relevant things (city subs for the places I have homes).

I'd say facebook is: older people sharing stuff about their life. Benign posts about traveling, maybe some light complaining about the neighborhood where they live getting too expensive, complaining about their job or sports or something like that etc.

Twitter is: younger people who are angry at the world and looking for a scapegoat. Everything is "here's why $outgroup is the core of all the problems in the world in 240 characters or less". Absolutely psychologically abusive garbage.

Reddit is like twitter, but more of an impotent rage. Lots of corporate pop culture references, but still with a strong dose of "here's why $outgroup is so bad!"

Looking at some of the parenting subs I'm on, some of the top posts are prompts for people to explain how terrible things in the world are.

Just really really toxic, awful things.

If I had to guess why: facebook is relatively private. The only things I see are either from people choose to follow explicitly, or from a tier-2 follow like a group (which I can filter if the group starts veering into toxicity).

Twitter is explicitly public. You see and interact with everything from everybody. There seems to be a strong ephasis on sharing other things from people I don't follow.

Reddit is the worst. Completely public, I never followed any of these people. Ignoring/blocking individuals would have almost no effect.
Agreed! The really fascinating part to me is how we define control over ourselves. In the end, however, I suspect it doesn't matter - it's kind of like a reverse Pascal's Wager: it's better to think we have control, because otherwise why even try?

Put a little differently, regardless of what the absolute truth resolves to - it's in my best interest to take the illusion of control.

It surprises and disappoints me to see them making all of Windows Vista's mistakes again.

Four months public beta wherein they fixed almost none of the major problems. Listened to almost none of the user feedback. Massive inconsistencies and half complete ideas abound.

This isn't the worst Windows I've tried, but it is perhaps the worst RTM. If this was still in public beta I'd call it "serviceable" as a daily driver if you can deal with the quirks.

But RTM-ing this? Shipping new computers with an even buggier build than the latest? Ouch. My barely computer-literate relatives should not walk into a Costco and out with a computer with this initial experience.
Alphazero couldn't.
>They do more rental of “work” or “simple night out” clothing than they do higher formality clothing.

People with all sorts of personality types will find ways to blame others for humiliating experiences even when it was entirely their own fault though...
Well I disagree. You can choose Android. What I feel normally lacks from the discussion is that the consumer has consciously chosen the OS and device. That choice needs to be respected and I think developers are now trying to augment what platform is doing. Apart from making more money I can’t see a reason how this benefits the customer (except edge cases - happy to be proven wrong here but haven’t really thought of a good example when this actually very useful). Also it’s more convenient for me to use Apple Pay and manage my subscriptions from the Settings app than from the 20 diff apps I have subscribed to and each one has an incentive to incorporate dark patterns in order to keep me from cancelling. Apple on the other hand cares for me being the next iPhone, watch, Mac, iPad so they Are not too fussed by me cancelling a subscription which I don’t use or want anymore.
The Apple of today does fix holes as soon as they can. But they don't really need to steal jailbreak tweaks anymore to figure out that people want to be able to change their homescreens…

It's sad and ironic to see phrasing like "We’re proud that Windows 11 is the most inclusively designed version of Windows" when you're basically telling all your long-time power-users to fuck off. Then again, "inclusive" has already become a loaded doublespeak word in these times.

We’ve improved the experiences for touch in Windows 11 when you’re using a tablet without a keyboard. You’ll see more space between the icons in the Taskbar

Thank you Microsoft, for taking away even more customisation, dumbing down the OS to new levels, and shoving more adverts in our faces. Now people have even more reasons than before to try Linux or macOS.

A new era for the PC begins today

You're right about that --- an even more locked-down and user-hostile (all in the name of "security", of course) era begins.

As a long-time Win32 developer who started writing utilities for DOS and then moved to Win16 for a short while, the direction that Windows (and the PC platform in general) is going is really sad and horrifying to see.

All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.
Because they paid for it?
I'm in a fan community on discord, paying via a YouTube subscription (urgh). I wouldn't call it "real business" in the sense that it's probably less than minimum wage for the host, but it's something I'm legitimately happy to pay for. It's a much better community hangout than patreon or onlyfans.
I actually looked it up after commenting and discovered the same. As any curious person would do.

Kind of funny that instagram.com uses Route53, but amazon.com does not.

It is toxic when said users are teenagers and pre-teens, that is the whole point of all the Instagram / Facebook public discourse recently .

At that age as a society we have decided they cannot take certain decisions on their own, which is why Sex, Alcohol, Marriage , Content with Rating PG/R, admission to certain venues, etc are all regulated.

Why should Social Media be different ?

> Wondering what's going on mentally is part of that.

The friend called him up and asked if he could sleep on his couch as well as opened up about the issues. Grilling him about his recent social media posts is wholly inappropriate and unnecessary.

Everyone keeps their public and private lives separate. People prefer to limit the audience for their struggles. It's weird that anyone would think that public social media photos need to be brought up in conversation when someone is separately opening up about their personal problems to a private audience.
That's not what I'm saying- people are picking and choosing when to apply marginal changes to questionably applicable research and when not to.

The same people saying "close enough" with vaccine transmissibility trials based on the original virus applying to delta, are the same ones saying natural immunity transmissibility studies done on the original virus don't apply to delta.

And now that we've got real numbers on natural immunity that beat vaccination (alone) numbers, that number is no longer "good enough"?

BS. It's not just moving goal posts, it's completely different moving goalposts for each side.

ETA:

>extraordinary for it to be invalidated outright.

Actually, if the whole "vaccinated cases are usually so mild you don't have symptoms" is true, and the Israeli research about viral loads for break through cases being as high as unvaccinated cases is also true...

Then vaccinated workers at a hospital could very well be worse, because they'd be transmitting the virus and infecting patients, while being less likely to have symptoms making them aware that they're likely infected and causing harm.

That's not exactly far fetched, based on current claims.

> How does one become self aware though?

I agree with the "humiliating experience" comments below, but how to curate that? One way is put yourself in a challenging environment you (and others) have to confront coming up short consistently.

EG: enter an academic program that isn't up your alley (eg, introverted dev? do an MBA.. You'll learn a lot besides the academics.) Afraid of confrontation? Try to become a manager and watch how you are forced to evolve your backbone. Also, try to get a job at FAANGs or other competitive places. Even failing interviews will teach you - where and why am I failing? Is it tech, communication, composure, etc? Even, try to date beautiful, kind people. Are they going for you - if not, what is it about you that's problematic? etc.

It's a tough way to live in the moment, but it's awesome in retrospect. You evolve and achieve what you would not have - but at any given time you may be more focused on what's holding you back from the next level..
It is not just "these days" and the point is not to get lines of credit and spend, as that is unnecessary risk (going short a bond and long a stock is very risky).

You, as an investor, want to save money for longer than one quarter. You want to save money for 20 years. So you'd like to avoid 80 taxable events in those twenty years, especially as you are just going to be reinvesting those dividends anyway. You want the law of compound interest working in your favor and then you pay taxes when you actually sell.

E.g. at a 20% tax rate say a stock pays a 4% dividend once per period and has no capital gain. Suppose you invest $1 and want to hold that for 2 periods, reinvesting the dividend and then selling.

Then after the first period you get 3.2 cents (after taxes) and you now own $1 and 3.2 cents. After period 2 you get $1.065024. Then you sell for a profit of 6.5024 cents (there are no capital gains)

But if the stock pays no dividend and has a 4% capital gain, and you hold for two periods, sell, and then pay the 20%, you will make 6.528 cents.

Does this lead into control system theory?
It is, but in many cases its still pretty easy to figure out. It depends on how complicated the problem is. If it's truly an incomprehensible nonlinear cesspool, then its pretty much impossible. If it's secretly a linear regression with a few forks and inflection points, its easy.

The problems neural nets are used for do tend to fall into the former, but the techniques to unravel it are getting better.
True. If the network were down, yes, it should fail secure. But if the network is up it should not go to the server(s) for every swipe/auth.

Also not all perimeters have to be treated the same.
If someone from the US wants to sell me a vacuum cleaner sure, but when "Michael" from "Microsoft" is calling me from a call center in India to tell me that my computer has a virus, how many legitimate phone calls can come from India anyway? How about the solution is to allow me to block any call not made from North America/Europe and be done with it.

If you have family in India you can just not block the country and that should be good enough for everyone? Of course my solution that I came up in 5 minutes is probably not the one we'd actually want to implement, but this has been an issue for probably half a century at this point, I'd hope this is enough time to find one decent mitigation implementation.

The psychopathy is not due to the developers nor the designers, but rather, the perverse incentives that bring profits to shareholders. You're looking too close at the end-result. It's the fact that it's legal to profit from these kind of behavior that is the real cause of all of this. But consumer protection online is all but absent, and the "strongest" effort so far, GDPR, was implemented so annoyingly and in your face that most folks' experience with it is a net negative, so future motions will be shot down more easily with wide praise.
TSMC like most advanced fabs rely on western supply chains for operation. TW fabs aren't priority targets for PRC take over, they're useful barginning chips for PRC more than TW. PRC will offer US some sort of production continuity and US will pressure TW gov to accept. Losing TSMC will set back US/western high tech industry years.

But ultimately TSMC is expendable. TSMC is a media side show that obfuscates the actual amount of strategic semi assets PRC can physically threaten that will take decades to diversify out of trivial PRC striking range. Most of which are in Korea/Japan with US security guarantee, hence TW getting more reporting - it's under more theoretic "threat", combined with TMSC making all the leading edge chips for newsworthy products.

East Asian supply chain supports ~80% of global semiconductor production. Destroying TW fabs sets back a few generations of leading edge nodes which are already deniable to PRC due to US origin tech% and effects some high tech industries. PRC undermining/destroying east Asian fabs will set back global semiconductor capex for decades an every node which is essential to every western industry that requires a chip. It will constrain majority of global manufacturing to 90-00s technology. That's the real semi MAD, and why everyone is trying to build capex off TW island.

Every situation requires balancing curiosity and caution, knowledge and exploration, etc. You may be "curious" but you may have a strong fear of failure that prevents you from actually experimenting when you genuinely don't know the likely outcome. Sometimes that keeps you back from important growth, other times it keeps you from blowing your head off.

It's also amazing that in the world we live in currently, you can do very well by just not fucking up. EG: someone born in the 80s could just follow "best practices" their whole life so far and be fine - eg: get good grades, study a valuable major, don't eat garbage, don't marry crazy people/idiots, stay off dangerous drugs, and mainly show up to work, be clean and nice - and you can by now be a very successful 40 year old without really having had to innovate or take huge risks. It's amazing.
I love that since the invention of the telephone the FCC has tried to "rein in" robocalls and failed at every step. Is there a more inept government agency? How many years of failure has it been, has no one ever told them it goes on since carriers profit from it?

This is the agency that wants to regulate internet providers and they can't fix robocalls. It's an embarrassment, because we could use some of the former.
Can you elaborate on this? Curious about how they hire their 500k people.
> Memorizing algorithms has very little to do with algorithm skills. You can memorize any algorithm textbook you like, then go take part in an algorithm competition and see how far that will get you (spoiler alert: not far). If you are good at algorithms, you have the ability to construct efficient solutions to problems you have never seen before. And by "construct" I don't mean pattern-matching to previously-memorized algorithms, I mean writing something that didn't exist before you wrote it.

Yes that's what I was trying to say. When people talk about "algorithm skills" it's not clear what whether they mean only learning the stuff from the textbook, or whether they mean the ability to improvise on top of that. Sometimes I suspect people don't know the difference themselves either. For example in the context of technical interviews, if the interviewer chooses a typical question like implementing binary search, reversing a linked list etc., they are most likely going to filter for those who memorized (to some extent) the solutions instead of those with ability to create novel solutions.

So about "algorithm skills are useless and shouldn't be used when interviewing", I guess my point is, it's useful, but it really depends on the interviewer not to screw it up by picking a standard question that can easily prepared for beforehand.
Not a fan these I'm-better-than-you social media type posts.

Neither is objectively better- I just wish more people would focus on self-awareness and reflection than comparing themselves to others. All of us have lessons to learn.
Only Windows would ship three different terminal emulators in the default install...
Do you have any examples of specific things that aren't working for you?

I don't even think Windows 11 is all that different from a regular feature update similar to the ones that Windows 10 has been receiving for years now. It has the Windows 11 name because some visible UI changes have been made. Other than that, it's really the same OS as Windows 10 in the grand scheme of things.

Heck, Microsoft probably just fell into "doing whatever Apple is doing" by moving their OS from version 10 to 11 just because that's what macOS did.

To me the only thing about Windows 11 that resembles Windows Vista are the vague complaints revolving around people's cheese being moved (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Moved_My_Cheese%3F).
The other advantage is if you are working with other industrial design people (for stuff such as roads / bridges / buildings)... Having it all spatiall mapped correct to each other makes life SO much easier (and more realistic).

I feel like with Computer Graphics, the whole GIS understanding is very limited.
Sure, I don't but... my spouse helps take care of her parents. They aren't fluent in English, so my spouse handles all the calls and callbacks. That means she gets calls from unknown callers frequently that she must answer.

It's a big issue for people who actually need to answer calls from novel callers.
Surely they are upstream from you if they need to rate limit you?

It's a link to a web page. Microsoft is in no position to assert that it knows best about how to display a web page. It has never been, in fact. So, this argument, frankly, holds no water. Literally every one of the major players has implemented a better web browser than Microsoft. Microsoft's own browser was implemented by someone else.

If Microsoft cannot create a page that can be displayed properly in other browsers, then the problem lies not with the other browsers.
Crimea has significant (defensive) strategic value to Russia, not unlike Taiwan for China or Cuba for USA. They really don't want a hostile power putting missile silos or aircraft carriers there.

I'm still annoyed whenever I think back at that, at being taught something that was wrong as if it was true. It costs nothing to say, "We're going to learn a model of the atom - the reality is more complex but this will work for now."
