That’s pretty simple to do with Linux too… Just install ufw and set it to deny by default, then open the SSH port to only your IP. No need to go through AWS for that.
Unless you mean binaries for Windows, I'd assume the lack of community is due to something else; IRC is definitely foreign to the younger crowd, but its not a hard hurdle to jump.

Personally I avoid IRC since I just don't like "chatting", email or forum is a far easier flow, socially. It also seemed rare to find anyone actually present in their channels, timing never works out. I'll still use it though if its the only option and I realllly want an answer
That's one of the reasons I went with corded... It's a little annoying, but a fraction of the cost, never runs out of juice, I never forget to charge it, and only thing I've had to do in years is replace the blade.

In most of these types of articles, no one mentions the problems that batteries are going to cause... (environment and convenience)
It’s why I hired a company to do the work and returned the battery operated leaf blower.

Why not if one is better than they other? There is fanboyism, which is unproductive and then there’s sober comparison of objective measures of privacy. And I want to know which is better. So as long as someone presents facts that help me make a decision I don’t want to censor them.
Part of the issue with a stale rate of change is that industries get comfortable with successful products.

Developing an electric self-driving car takes a monumental effort. It's easier to continue releasing a new internal combustion model every year. The factory only knows how to do one thing and it is expensive to change.

So we may never have cars like the Jetsons. Fantasy also wants to over-estimate the future for dramatic effect.
This is not a slippery slope. Enforcement of basic health standards does not lead logically to some kind of fascist state. If anything, we are currently all victims of the forces of anti-science and anti-civilization. I had Chicken Pox when I was young, and I survived, although my fever went to 105 degrees F. My sons both skipped that particular disease. Good for them! This is called progress, and it does not lead automatically to Brave New World. You need to read more Heinlein, and less Internet.

When you create a new normal level you will often get a two sided exponential getting there.

First you see exponential increase as more and more opportunities to exploit the new normal are exploited. But then you see the rate of change exponentially reduce as the opportunities left to change gets exhausted, until there are none left and the new normal is reached. The typical example is how at first a technology is only used by a very small amount of people, then it becomes common and then it becomes ubiquitous. Happened with cars 60 years ago, computers 20 years ago.

So it isn't that the future is getting farther away, we are just running out of ways to exploit the advancements we made decades ago. We might make more such leaps, for example in AI, but you can't count on it. Instead any sensible economic policy should be able to handle both scenarios, ie the one where we stagnate and the one where we find new things.
They surely are not equal, but I find them very comparable. When twitter mobs try to get people fired they're trying to prevent them from making a living, what are they after? Do they want the target to kill tthemselves?

Also "comparing" by definition can be done between any 2 things, even if they don't have the same "value". I can compare oranges and dogs if I want to.

Apparently, Sinofsky suffers dreadfully from "not invented here syndrome." He simply does not trust anything that his team has not built, and Midori is the tip of the iceberg. There are a some instances where his attitude worked, but they were far and few between.

You'll notice that there is a very distinct "firewall" between core architecture and "other teams" on the projects he managed, even today (e.g. .Net Office extensions are just COM).

> We basically have an efficient system where two sides constantly adjust their positions so that elections are won basically on a knife edge. The system demands competition, and if that competition doesn’t come from outside (eg there is a war), it won’t simply disappear.

Yeah, but what's the system efficient about? Not figuring out correct solutions - the internal competition demands both sides to define themselves in terms of doing/believing the opposite to what the other side does/believes, so the system is just doing a random walk. The way I see it, it's primarily efficient as a way to grow the market - ever-increasing campaign budgets and ongoing political shouting matches are just funding advertisers and news agencies.
I see it as entrenched wealthy capital interests were far more interested in maximizing their paper clips than improving real world productivity outputs or distributing what was produced more widely.
This, this, this. It's ridiculous that we emulate British royalty who started this trend to show how rich they were by not needing useful crop.
> So traditionally you'd have to print a blank and smooth it (with loads of manual sanding and buffing), and then cast a silicone mould around it, add a mold release ($$$) and THEN (finally!) cast your actual sex toy.

The process is here to print the negative and then do a thin layer of beeswax inside to smooth the layer lines from the print. I haven’t done either method but would like to try it out soon. I’ll probably stick to figurines instead of sex toys though..

It's an awkward literal translation, but I see the author's thinking in how they break it apart.

I've seen "Freundschaft" translated as either "amity" or "friendship". Going off of Duden (I'm not a native speaker), it seems "Feindschaft" also has two definitions. The first is a hostile attitude towards another person, and the second is a relationship defined by this attitude. I'd translate the first as "enmity", but unless you consider "enemyship" to be a word there isn't a perfect translation for the second definition.

Xenophobia is the best translation based on actual usage, but the words still have noticeably different roots. "stranger-enmity"/"stranger-enemyship" vs "stranger-fear".
Ethanol? Actually probably isn't even that much more expensive to run. I think reasonably we could already find suitable alternative and then somehow brand it zero emission or net zero...

Thanks everyone for being you and doing what you do!

What stands out to me the most now is just how little, threaded, simply presented, discussion there is now on the general Internet. So many people won't know what it is, and that's a loss in my book.

A peeve:

Reading that discussion caused me to revisit something I find terribly annoying, and that is one space between the end of sentence period and the first character of the next sentence.

I get it, readability and all that, BUT:

Doing this breaks our ability to correctly parse when to capitalize the next word!

And I hate that, because touch input on my Android would be so much less hassle if this were done correctly.

Done now, thanks for hearing me.

> means the batteries can even be charged straight off of the truck

Get a bunch of long extensions cords on those crank reels and put em in the back of the truck. Batteries are a huge waste of money/time/environment if a corded tool will do the job. You would probably still keep a few cordless on the work truck just in case you need to get to some place far away or high up (e.g. the chainsaw example).
I would be very curious to see how you would connect those dots. Do go on...

Bread and Circuses are exponentially easier to create than innovation. Most innovation is punished or ignored unless it is timed well until it is "rediscovered" when it is desperately needed. Bread and Circuses pairs with anything anywhere at any time.

And when innovation saved the world from a global pandemic you guys are still arguing about the tiny miniscule risk of side effects of a game-changing vaccine rather than getting back on the curve here. So great, enjoy your brave new world of amusing yourselves to death. That seems to be about all we're good at anymore.

> Yup, that's right... I hand-rolled my own authentication on this site. But I had a good reason! Remember all the talk above about making things super fast by collocating the node servers and databases close to users? Well, I'd kinda undo all that work if I used an authentication service. Every request would have to go to the region that provider supported to verify the user's logged in state. How disappointing would that be?

If this is serious I'm horrified that you went down this path. Having requests going to some regions you're not happy with is not a reason to compromise your users' security by handrolling your own flow. What's awful is that there are people who will read this and think it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

You are not a security expert, that much is clear. Because you wouldn't have uttered those first two sentences in the first place.
I think what the parent is alluding to is: What is the practical point of using Nix when similar outcomes can be reached with more mainstream solutions? In other words, suppose I want to deploy a web app that depends on Nginx, PHP, and PostgreSQL.

I could:

(a) Run all as docker-compose type solution

(b) Run all as scripted Nix solution

(c) Install packages manually on general purpose OS

Lets ignore "c" for the moment as the goal is to avoid that exact scenario. Given the prevalence and widespread support for "a" why should sysadmins choose "b"?
I would guess that any criticism would be called out as transphobic. That isn't something most people would be ok with being labeled.

Even more difficult is the fact that I have no clue how to prove that I am not transphobic. What proofs exist that are compelling beyond my own claims? What if no one is brave enough to defend me? This difficulty (proving one's innocence in a public forum) is scary.

One thing you have to consider when debating i0S versus Android in the context of privacy is: you can have the best of both worlds and own an Android phone and an i0S device (if you can afford that, and I'm aware many citizens in third world countries don't have the luxury of owning two phones). It's like the old Chrome versus Firefox debates that happen every other month now on Hackernews & Reddit.

I own a Chromebook where I leverage the Google ecosystem and do Googley stuff all day, then a Thinkpad with Qubes+Whonix when I want privacy & security & sometimes anonymity.

You don't have to be faithful to a single company/OS/provider/whatever. You can leverage all the things and compartmentalize.

While I can get on board with restricting 2-stroke engines in most cases (there’s still many situations where there’s no viable substitutes), I’m puzzled how they expect to have gas-powered generators be zero emission. That seems to defy the laws of physics and chemistry.

By definition, people use generators when there’s no source of mains power, whether that’s during a power outage or needing to use electric devices in a remote area, job site, etc. I don’t see how requiring such things to work on battery power (from where would they charge their batteries?) would be viable in any way.

That said, I wish they’d consider the use of alternative fuels (like propane), particularly for things like generators and larger equipment like riding mowers. Most 4-stroke engines can easily run on propane and dual-fuel devices like generators are already commonly available. Propane burns very cleanly, efficiently, is inexpensive, widely available, easy to store, and doesn’t go stale like gasoline.

I don’t think that it’s popularity that’s the issue. Let’s say a lot of people wanted it, where would it come from?

Invading privacy and using that pays. If your hi is to make lots of money while maximizing profit you’re going to invade privacy. If you don’t and you’re public shareholders might complain about leaving money on the table.

Then there are those who often focus on privacy tools. They often don’t end up building rolls with a user experience for the every person.

It’s complicated.

Printing infinite money might have fucked up the economy.
It's not about resources, it's about reach and jurisdiction. If anything, FAANGs have the most incentive to cooperate with the NSA because they're located in the US and have the most to lose.

The companies that can best resist the NSA are located outside of the US and EU.
It most definitely does.

If money is a medium for people to convert goods and services from one form to another, then in a technologically advancing world where things become cheaper in terms of SI units, we should expect the value of money (relative to other items) to become higher, or for goods and services to become so cheap that we don't even bother about their prices.

In a technologically stagnating economy, we can expect the opposite: we can expect that if technology becomes worse off, then the value of money will get worse and the same physical item will become less valuable i.e will cost more in money. We see this happening with oil prices which are at the heart of energy intensive economies - gasoline is MORE expensive than in the 1970s even when adjusted for inflation. Same goes for other goods central to the economy, such as housing, healthcare and food. The more likely outcome is that to artificially stimulate the economy, central banks will keep printing more money and devalue goods in a never ending cycle. The only things that can really save us is technology that can make things cheaper.

This is doubling down on the mistake of .NET, it won't end well.

We need a microkernel based OS that uses hardware protection to keep all the user code well contained. We need a default assumption of NO when it comes to access to resources, instead using capabilities and powerboxes.

What happens if actual native code gets run somehow by a user processes in this system? The system is owned, instantly. There's no secondary layers of protection at all. It's like counting on a single cable to support a bridge.

Maybe that sex toy would be embarrassing on ones credit card and tagged to ones identity. Cryptocurrency (especially private cryptocurrencies like Zcash and Monero) offers an alternative to doxing yourself.

3. You miss the great innovation of SN: Preventing Double Spends. You cannot enforce double spend without a source of truth -- which was traditionally central server/banks.

It was the Proof of Work that made the ledger distributed and censorship resistant, and it is the ledger that prevents double spends. And with Bitcoin, you have a limit of 21 million coins, which addresses SN's concern that central bankers ALWAYS inflate currency. So, no, existing tools did not suffice. That is why we have Bitcoin today.
It should also be worth nothing that Clojure sacrificed quite a bit to make this as efficient as possible.

“persistent vectors” are certainly an interesting data structure that strike a compromise between fast indexing and being able to relatively quickly create a copy where only one element changes, but it's a compromise and indexing is made slower to allow for the latter. — They also take up more memory on their own but are allowed to share memory with their copies.

I will say that my ideal language contains them in the standard library alongside standard vectors that index in constant time.

Further, it should be noted that much of the performance talk is on the assumption that accessing from memory is truly random access; — with the existence of c.p.u. caches that assumption is not entirely accurate and accessing from contiguous rather than scattered memory in practice is considerably cheaper so one also pays the price for their being scattered more in memory.

Graceful degradation by turning off optional features and making the critical path (order completion funnel) as lightweight as possible by reducing costs (# of results fetched/scored, turning off reco etc) was the best way to scale systems seeing 3x higher peaks year over year; and 10x higher peak during flash sales compared to normal periods, especially without breaking the bank trying to provision that much capacity.

p.s. - btw, no cloud has that much elastic capacity.

First, that's not how monoclonal antibodies are designed to be administered. Second, that's not how they are administered (anywhere). Third, even if they were, we would call it a vaccine.
