The Broadcom fullmac cards should be well supported in Linux. I've seen people complain about poor WiFi range and the like on other Macs, but that is almost certainly caused by wrong/mismatched firmware and NvRAM distributed with linux-firmware for those machines. We're going to be using Apple's blobs exactly the same way macOS does, which are tuned to each specific machine and module variant, so radio performance should be identical to macOS.

I wouldn't buy an M1 right now... just because the next generation is likely around the corner :-). But yes, I can't promise all the polish or that every single thing will be upstream, but things should be solidly in the "daily driver" category a year from now. I'd be surprised if there was any non-optional (i.e. excluding accelerators - no idea if anyone cares about the Neural Engine yet...) hardware left without usable support by then. GPU is a big question mark that should become clear in the next month or two as I poke at the kernel side, but honestly I expect solid OpenGL a year from now, at the very least.
> If you are certain in this argument, then you master electric switch is dangerous because you could switch off the power to your house.

This seems like a response to an argument I haven't made yet! (All else aside, if you prebut my argument, it allows me not to make that argument.)

Sure, it's possible to do dangerous things with BGP; that alone is not why I say it's possible to use it dangerously. What is dangerous is the fact that a small and apparently innocent change can have such far-reaching consequences—for example, I'll bet there was no serious consideration at Facebook of not being able to open electronic door locks in the case of an apparently innocent BGP update.

I don't consider my master electric switch dangerous because I could switch off the power to my house. I would consider it dangerous if, after switching off the power to my house, I was ejected from my house, and could no longer open the doors of my house to get in and switch the power back on.
Echoing another comment, I've been following the announcement and marketing of these glasses for some time, and I've yet to see anything concrete about the quality of the "monitors" you get, other than the statement that they'll be the equiv of 1080 monitors. A couple people on youtube apparently had boxed versions of the glasses a couple weeks ago, but even the video I saw where a guy was wearing them had nothing of significance to say about what he was seeing, the quality of it, the nature of head motion, etc. "Interesting" was the word used. Makes me wonder if that reviewer even had functional versions. I'd be shoving a fist full of cash at lenovo if these were verified good - but yeah the lack of info makes me think they're going to underwhelm. My expectations would be for the equivalent of 2-3 32" monitors about 3-4' away from my face. If I had 2-3 27" 1080 monitors 3' away from my face, workable. Hope they're good. Would love them for remote work and privacy.

Note that contrary to popular reports, DNS was NOT to blame for this outage — for once DNS worked exactly as per per the spec, design and configuration:

Less is more. The point OP was trying to make is to keep what is vital. People already have way too many possessions, digital hoarding is even easier.

Please fail to realize the mental toll there is from keeping things you don't need.
It's a trade-off.

Imagine you have some DNS servers at a POP. They're connected to a peering router there which is connected to a bunch of ISPs. The POP is connected via a couple independent fiber links to the rest of your network. What happens if both of those links fail?

Ideally the rest of your service can detect that this POP is disconnected, and adjust DNS configuration to point users toward POPs which are not disconnected. But you still have that DNS server which can't see that config change (since it's disconnected from the rest of your network) but still reachable from a bunch of local ISPs. That DNS server will continue to direct traffic to the POP which can't handle it.

What if that DNS server were to mark itself unavailable? In that case, DNS traffic from ISPs near that POP would instead find another DNS server from a different POP, and get a response which pointed toward some working POP instead. How would the DNS server mark itself unavailable? One way is to see if it stopped being able to communicate with the source of truth.

Yesterday all of the DNS servers stopped being able to communicate with the source of truth, so marked themselves offline. This code assumes a network partition, so can't really rely on consensus to decide what to do.
It's fun to imagine what the value of it would be on the open market. I mean, it's not like anyone could spend it. "Do you have change for a trillion?" The value would be limited to what a black market coin collector would be willing to pay, I suppose.

Yep. I don't want to get into it here but their founders are some of the worst people I've ever encountered in my life as a human being. This is only my opinion of course based on having had a fairly long term business relationship with them in the past.

I don't like negatively talking about folks in public but yeah out of 20+ years of freelancing and dealing with dozens of companies ACG's founders are at the top of my list of folks I never want to think about or encounter again for the rest of my life.
That's the trick, though: if you don't do that level of planning for all of your datacenters and POPs (and fiber huts out in the middle of nowhere), it's inevitable that the one you most need to access during an outage will be the one where your OOB got backhoe'd.

Murphy is a jerk.
If Apple has really annoyed you, put that Mini on the used market ASAP where it can potentially displace a new unit sale.

Not that I'm unsupportive of the Asahi project, it's just a fact that you're dong Apple a favor by keeping that M1 Mini around collecting dust, while every passing day it becomes increasingly irrelevant WRT offsetting new unit sales.
I disagree.

Intel and AMD both contribute heavily to the Linux Kernel. This means that on the vast majority of Intel or AMD based systems, you can boot from USB and have a working system.

Apple doesn't even release documentation on their SOCs.

Apple doesn't use standard, open boot methods to allow other OSes to simply boot from USB. No BIOS/Standard UEFI.

There is a huge chasm between what you can do on the vast majority of PCs out there... and what you have to do to get anything else running on Apple hardware. IF you can get anything running. (Eg, locked bootloaders on iDevices)
There will always be people who are willing to be assholes for money. Yea they're an asshole, but they're not actually making things worse since there are plenty of people ready to replace them.

my hoped-for use case was to be able to use one of these as a shared data grid in a webapp - that is, have a google sheets like collaborative spreadsheet backed by a db table, and use that as a component in my app. I checked a few out a while ago and sadly none of them really looked suitable for that - they were all pushing hard on the no code angle and seemed pretty hard to strip down to just a table component.
Tobacco kills 8 million people per year, and that's with over half a century of regulation and cessation problems taxation. It's also a disgusting habit that destroys any area smokers step in.

Focusing on democratic nations specifically for a moment - I don't see how it could be a balancing weight. Presumably all issues with a country and its handling of their own currency could be resolved solely through democratic political means.

No technical solution - cryptocurrency or otherwise - necessary.

I don't really understand your second point. Taxation by definition is involuntary. I won't discuss the merits of taxation (vs. detriments) but a "voluntary taxation" system would result in a prisoners dilemma where no one would pay taxes. Eventually the government that implements such a thing would be no longer able to fund itself and in quick succession find itself literally bankrupt.

No, it doesn't. It pisses on Apple for being an incredibly and unnecessarily restrictive company.

There's a curious blindspot among coders with regard to customizing their main interface with their machines. Keyboards are heavily customizable.

Some wins are extremely easy: If you want instant access to all Greek letters on a Mac (e.g.), you can have your caps lock key toggle between your standard layout and the Greek layout. (no \alpha, just α.) The rabbit hole runs deep from there if you are adventurous. Look at all the option key symbols you don't use. Swap them out for nice things like real arrows, ∈, and whatever you fancy.

Maybe you have restraints or biases about work code being all ASCII, but typeability is up to you.
There's also BGP, used in conjunction with BGP to detect state changes quicker.
iOS 7 was absolutely huge at the time, it was Apple shifting away from skeuomorphism and the industry soon followed. Granted, Google Material Design seemed to have been independently invented in the same timeframe, but iOS 7 led the charge.

ummm no

Because we both know that yes that money will enter the money supply, just not directly.
> It's still a shortage, but it just doesn't hit rich people as hard.

It sounds like you're assuming that increases in price don't increase quantity supplied. While this may be true in some contexts (e.g. completely unexpected global crisis), there are many cases in which it does:

- In a local crisis, an increase in price encourages shipping in goods from areas not in crisis. Why would someone take the risk of shipping for the same price they can get elsewhere?

- As the GP mentioned, the ability to raise prices provides an incentive for stockpiling goods. Why would someone incur the expense of maintaining a stockpile in exchange for no benefit in a case where the stockpile is needed?

I'd also argue that it's very unlikely for price increases to render all basic necessities impossible to afford, even for poor people. Consider water - even for someone living in poverty what percent of their budget would you guess is allocated to water? Maybe 5%? So even a doubling of the price of water (for context, price gouging laws typically restrict price increases to around 10%) would only increase that to 10%, leaving plenty of room for them to reallocate not-as-essential parts of their budget. For food perhaps the original percent is higher, but there's much more opportunity to substitute cheaper foods in a crisis situation.
Voluntary tax is charity. The whole point of tax is that it applies to everyone by some set of rules that democracy has arrived at.
> It's not even half as bizarre as someone buying a GIF of some cartoon cats as a sort of cryptocurrency token.

I think it is considerably more bizarre. People have always done strange things with their money; NFTs have made it maybe more visible, and have certainly dressed it up in new tech-y buzzwords, but they've hardly introduced the idea of spending money in strange and stupid ways.

But I am considerably more upset about whole countries' economies being founded on strange and stupid decisions than I am on individuals making such decisions. (Which is not to say that I could, or know how to, do any better; we're just comparing bizarre-ness, not solutions.)

The behavior of these cryptocurrency folk is indicative that they don't care about the environment at all. If they did, there would be something like a carbon tax set up to pay for the externalities that are currently being caused until these underlying environmental issues are solved by some future technology. Since no one has any interest in cutting into their profits for that right now, motives are clearly not aligned to fix the environmental issues. This is where regulation comes in to incentivize good behavior and make bad behavior too costly to make any fiscal sense to continue.
Same issue. Except multiple short-term projects with hundreds of reference tabs, in multiple windows, ranging from groups that would classify as "mood boards" to research.

I settled for Workona when it launched about 2+ years ago after trying many extensions else like OneTab, SessionBuddy, Toby and so on.

I'd assume the thought is that the coin is not fungible in any meaningful way.

It's not going to enter the monetary supply, it's more of a loophole to avoid debt ceilings.

Now whether avoiding debt ceilings has an impact on inflation is up for debate (my vote is that it will, but I also don't like the debt ceiling in the first place)

I meant the node itself was state of the art. The application reliability is important, but in practice will be balanced against cost of goods -- just like how consumer PCs use non-ECC memory and try to handle it in software (or just decide occasional crashes are acceptable), there would likely be additional failure compensation added in other areas to adjust for otherwise cheaper parts on a smaller process node.

And if you think a car company wouldn't use a less-reliable part because of safety concerns, look at the Pinto: Ford knew it had a tendency to, erm, explode, but calculated paying off lawsuits would be cheaper than fixing the problem. [1]

Incidentally the facebook app itself really handled this gracefully. When the app can't connect to facebook, it displays "updates" from a pool of cached content. It looks and feels like facebook is there, but we know it's not. I didn't notice this until the outage and I thought it was neat.

This past year, I think immediately back to believing and repeating the grotesque lie that Brian Sicknick had his brains savagely bashed in with a fire extinguisher by Jan 6 rioters.

On the other hand, I haven't had a FB account of any type for over five years, so it hasn't directly affected my personal life.
The wording is a bit unclear (rushed, no doubt) but I expect this means the DNS servers stopped announcing themselves as possible targets for the anycasted IPs Facebook uses for its authoritative DNS [1], since they learned that the network was deemed unhealthy. If they all do that nobody will answer traffic sent to the authoritative DNS IPs and nothing works.

Agreed, I have a M1 mini sitting around doing mostly nothing and I'd love to use it to contribute to the project but I'm not a developer so I don't know where to start. I am definitely looking forward to the mentioned installer release so I can try it out myself though. I can believe the hype about how blazing fast it is on the desktop even in software rendering, given how powerful a Linux VM on Parallels can be on it. It rivals my Ryzen 5 3600 machine and even surpasses it in some metrics, and that runs Linux bare metal.

But DNS didn't actually fail. Their design says DNS must go offline if the rest of the network is offline. That's exactly what DNS did.

Sounds like their design was wrong, but you can't just blame DNS. DNS worked 100% here as per the task that it was given.
