The cynic in me thinks that this is because they've realised that the options are either a loss of history, an industry-sponsored scheme, or a legally-mandated exception to breaking DRM for preservation grounds.

Microsoft's DRM on their latest xbox is insane – they actively consider the customer hostile at every available opportunity, have essentially always-online DRM, including for physical discs [1] and have had senior architects giving talks explaining how the "only" way to make a games console is to have a physically secure enclave in a chip with a truly unique root of trust, a very strict hardware watchdog, engineered resistance to under/overvoltage or clocking techniques and literally everything, including all buses and IO, encrypted to the nines. This is clearly incompatible with recording history (and also produces lots of errors like "this game isn't ready yet" – utter tosh. New Xbox consoles require an internet connection at least once to "activate" and play games – meaning any unsold will become e-waste once the servers shut down [2]).

I'm glad they're making the argument -- the preservation of our culture is hugely important, and emulation is a good way to do it, particularly if industry sponsored (I think it's a shame that, e.g. there isn't a good PS4 emulator yet) -- but there's a definite false narrative behind this.

Why not then lease dedicated servers from a hosting provider?

You still get ridiculous cost savings over cloud, and none of the long lead times you mention when buying your own hardware.

Okay, I'll make sure Ubuntu's next release puts my fork of emacs in /usr/bin instead of Gnu's. If you're still not understanding this, you might read Nudge by Thaler and Sunstein.
Ah, so the real world requires trust but despite what the blockchain says. I get what you mean now but you can still make it a lot easier.

Using your example, you could write a contract such that: you buy an item for X dollar amount, the contract holds it in escrow, waiting for FedEx to confirm receipt of the package and a deposit of Y% of X into a rolling insurance fund from both FedEX and the seller. At this point, if FedEx fails to deliver you’re fully refunded out of the insurance pool and the seller gets their money back. If they deliver, FedEx gets 90% of the insurance payment back, the shipper gets your payment, and they split the seller’s premium as a shipping fee. If the seller never drops off the package you get your money back.

You could even throw in a return period where a third party can confirm whether a bad package is eligible for refund.

There are obviously holes in this haphazard scenario but the big picture is that there’s a lot of stress that can be offloaded to a truly unbiased 3rd party, even if you can’t achieve full trustlessness in real life.
Congrats on your retirement, sorry to hear about your family difficulties.

The objection isn't to using content from Wikipedia, the objection is that .cat websites are supposed to include Catalan content and this one chose to satisfy that requirement in the laziest and least interesting way possible. Why not pull from an article about something actually interesting and relevant to the site at least, rather than a couple intro paragraphs in Catalan about the place where most speakers of that language already live? It's not a huge deal but it seems like a missed opportunity.
As the person who said that I should point out that my parents did teach me and work with me on things, just not technical maker projects (pinewood derby, build a bridge and see how much it can carry, etc). Other kids had dads with garages full of woodworking equipment and had trained them. On the other hand, my parents provided me with a computer and the freedom to learn from it (the thing I liked about computers is that you didn't have to depend on other people as much to learn how they worked).

As an example of what I missed out on, while I was on a team of makers I was using a cordless drill and stripped a screw. A coworker poitned out there's a knob that controls the tension of a ratchet, so you can make t he drill stop spinning before stripping the screw. I had no idea, at 45, that was even possible. They had all known about it from early childhood.
On Kafka...

Message retrieval is push? Nope, definitely pull.

Payload is text or avro? Neither, it's just bytes, how you serialise your payload data is up to you.

> Client libraries might have a hard-time of keeping up with ever-changing protocol specification. Therefore upgrades might also be challenging.

Kafka maintains backwards compatibility for old clients for a very long time. They've only just (Kafka 3.0) deprecated the protocol released in Kafka 0.8.

Choose a client library that has active maintainers, you'll be golden. If your client lib of choose

It defaults to this, but it can be set much higher if needed.

Lastly - Kafka's not really a message queue. Apache Pulsar offers far more MQ like semantics though.
> the defense's email client might have compressed the video automatically (not how it works)

On the contrary, this is exactly how it works. The biggest pain point in sharing high quality photo or video content in 2021 is that every single service insists on quietly compressing or transcoding your content. Some, like iMessage, even do it inconsistently depending on things like current format and file size. To make matters worse, Gmail, iMessage, and friends will often show you, the sender, the original quality, so you don't even know that the content has been butchered.
I see a lot of crazy valuations in the tech industry. Makes me wonder if I'm crazy or if its the kids that are wrong.

Isn't your source citing the WHO's advisory from early 2020 on how face masks were counterproductive as they convey a false sense of security and thus contribute to violate critical measures such as social distancing and washing hands?

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/who-director-warns-masks-can-...

From the article:

> “Masks can also create a false sense of security, leading people to neglect measures like hand hygiene and physical distancing,” Adhanom said. “I cannot say this enough: Masks will not protect you alone from COVID-19.”

This was a quote from a WHO representative, made two months after your source was published.
Focusing on the game itself is foolish, in todays cloud-ified world.

Microsoft Games for Windows Live is gone (2007 - ~2015), for example, taking down the hosting infrastructure for hundreds of games. Games I loved like Section 8 can be started & have some skirmish modes available. But the serving infrastructure is all missing, the core multiplayer expperience is not possible. My all-time favorite game ever, PC or mobile, is Titanfall Assault, a cute fast mobile game: another game that, without the vast wide cloud hosting infrastructure, is dead. All I have are some random cell-phone videos I decided to take.

There's some wild wild works every now and then. Return of Reckoning, for example, is a reverse engineered server for Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, a shuttered MMO. I haven't logged in to find out, but I'm quite curious if any or all of the quest lines &c still work. If the various PvP modes work. https://www.returnofreckoning.com/

As for keeping games running, emulation? He's probably almost certaining meaning consoles. And yes, the people traditionally seen as pirates have long been doing the good thing, have been doing the careful work. But I also think of works like Proton & WINE, who similarly are better at running many old games than Windows often is.

Where we're headed sucks. Endless remakes of games. Oh yet another Skyrim you can purchase. Yet another Grand Theft Auto 3 you can purchase. I feel like trash for eventually having given in to Steam & having collected a huge library of games I don't really own but paid for, games that are non-transferable. The future is only getting worse, is only making us less empowered.
Thanks, forgot about pf! Murus seems the perfect middle-ground for when day-to-day management through commandline tools is too much (I lasted for about a week!), but GUI tools sometimes too restrictive.

Depends very much on your diet. Lots of fish, milk, other animal products? Probably fine. Otherwise, maybe not so much.

soft real time systems, for sure. if it runs any hard real time systems, get out of the lab.

We could of course debate the boundary between hard and soft, but I'd rather not.
I was playing with my old iBook from around 2000, and I needed to dig into the open firmware commands to set up network booting. Back in 2000 I didn’t know or care about Forth but since the pandemic I’ve gone down a few Forth rabbit holes (thanks CollapseOS!) so it was fun to know what was behind the scenes of the boot interface :)

There is a lot of parallels with Matrix here. I'm sad to say that the Element client just isn't polished enough to win me over Discord.

Most people, including myself, don't really care about the proprietary nature of Discord. I can fairly trivially move off Discord if it fails me so I don't really see the point in working harder to use Matrix.
I used to work for Blackmagic Design in the BRAW team (yes, technically not RAW, Red somehow got a bullshit patent on the compression of RAW data that they defend aggressively).

There was definitely an R&D cost associated with developing the libraries to read/write that format, and additional QA steps required when implementing them, but no additional hardware was needed (it actually required less on-hardware processing to write to RAW).

If a company has RAW support on one camera but not another - especially for still photos, it is 100% a market segmentation strategy.
This is an absolute game-changer for both writing and reviewing code. Kudos to the Graphite team for bringing this workflow to the world.

You were not suicidal. Not passively, definitely not actively. The needs of the actively suicidal are not the same as someone who is unhappy and just calling to check the experience. I don't know if you've ever been around someone who is actively suicidal, but it is a completely different state of mind than normal interactions. What they need is not a connection or a therapy session to talk them down - that comes later. They need help. That could be talking, but it could be figuring out whether to send an ambulance, law enforcement, whether someone is there who can restrain them from taking irrevocable actions, or to drive them to a hospital.

So yes, maybe you got someone who had no idea what to do with you. Maybe they did suck at that job. But you were applying the wrong tool to the problem. If you are unhappy, call a therapist. If you are suicidal, call a hotline.

This is laughable. Theming is done thru CSS variables in any legit shop, not inheriting some dumb set of rules that will never work generically without specific rules.

CSS-in-JS is also able to compile to non-inline styles in some situations if I’m not mistaken, but I do agree this is something of an anti pattern
Wonder how this compares to apple care.
I didn't see an ethical problem with it. What prompted my comment below was that it was touted as a personalized service in the article when really it felt less personal than regular recruiting (and as you point out, there was a more thoughtful process of finding people in the first place, but then they got the fake videos + automated task to do).

It's equivalent in my mind to sending a form email that begins "Hello, $name". It's personalized in a technical sense but it's not personal. But not unethical either. On the ethics front I'd be more concerned about asking potential candidates to do some task - critique the website or whatever it was, without having any real skin in the game on the side of the hiring company. I don't agree with this kind of one-sided screening.

Yes, I've seen the marketing materials, too. The thing to think about is what you're actually using — the very next paragraph from your quote would be a good place to start:

> Specific visions for Web3 differ, but all are heavily based in blockchain technologies, such as various cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Some visions are based around the concepts of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), which seek to enable many people to have equal ownership and governance in an organization. Decentralized finance (DeFi) is another key concept, in which users exchange currency without bank or government involvement. Self-sovereign identity allows users to identify themselves without relying on a centralized authentication system like OAuth.

Note how the common thread is that these are all working around the scalability and reliability issues inherent to the popular blockchains. It's perhaps survivable for an identity system to be that slow when making changes if you don't do that very often, although it's definitely a risk for the overall network, but there's no way you're building an XMPP competitor on top of it even before you think about handling audio/video content, and privacy would of course preclude that as well.

That means that you're really building a system which looks a lot like the competitors except using something like a wallet ID to login. Beyond being rather less disruptive than the Ethereum salespeople like to tell you, that's going to look a lot like XMPP — a traditional networked service running a protocol of some level of standardization, only with a different login option. There are some natural trends which are hard to avoid: users will gravitate to the more reliable service offered by the larger companies who can invest more time in optimization, various parties will add extensions which either aren't well documented for competitors or favor their infrastructure choices, and abuse will be a problem which leads to some combination of arbitrary moats being created or users leaving to services where they don't get spam.

That last point is key: imagine if your web3 messaging startup starts to see enough usage that spammers descend en masse? Your real users will leave unless you do something about it. You can add entry fees, which will tank your user growth (which is probably already dangerously limited if you require a blockchain ID), or restrict federation to peers whom you trust to control abuse by their users.
> The gain is that the average mortality goes down by 0.001%.

What made you come up with that nonsensical figure? Suicide is the leading cause of death in males under 45 in the UK. [0] And here's another tidbit [1]:

> Eliminating suicide as a cause of death would have increased life expectancy at birth by 1.92 years for males and 1.36 years for females from 2011 to 2015 [in the US].

We can debate whether and how much reducing mortality helps society, but please don't pretend that suicide is in minor in the grand scheme of things.

I don't understand, doesn't it? If the key for a host changes, it throws a scary warning. If you haven't connected to a host before, you're asked to trust the key. How does this utility manage to MITM exactly?

Where's the chain of custody on the original file content?
i'm a bit ambivalent about this sort of idea - reviewers adding "tiny" changes without extra reviews could be a place where bugs leak in. what's tiny or insignificant might turn out to be big - that's why code is reviewed by multiple people!

I think for style formatting, making it an auto-format step during commit/push is the "better" way. Codified formatting means you argue and hash it all out once and be done with it forever.
You can do focus bracketing with the Olympus mFT cameras and auto-generate macros with deep DOF.
Take 1.5 month, until 1 Jan, to close in finished form (1- why you wanted to do that; 2- how you did that; 3- what you achieved and what you learnt) as much as you can from your past projects… these will be your portfolio, the starting point for any approach, discussion, opportunity. Good luck!
>riddled with big time issues

Big-time issues or big time-issues? I read it as the latter initially but I think the former makes more sense.

Beyond the speed of the trial is the fact that it is farcical from up, down, and the sides. It should be thrown out the window by spinlaunch.
I don't understand what you're arguing. I don't find meaning, value, and substance in memes and digital communities structured around DAOs. I'd much rather be involved in some real world community that is working towards solving some tangible problem instead of wasting my time speculating on pixelated NFTs or buying something that already belongs to every citizen of the United States.
Of course you don't have to be an engineer to use it, but if he's really claiming to know nothing about encoding, that's quite the contradiction.
The title of this post is a bit misleading (the important 'How' is also missing from this posts title). Control of current (and any near term) QC is classical, including the control of any error correcting code, such as Shor's.

> If work accomplished is proportional to load, then the total work done by the entire system is O(number_of_servers * log log number_of_servers). It seems very suspicious, magical even, that the total work is more than linear with the number of servers. Free energy discovered?

No free energy for at least a couple reasons:

* This is O(...) meaning (roughly) "bounded above by", not Theta(...) meaning "bounded above and below by".

* This is max load, not average load. Even if it were theta, it wouldn't follow from the max load on a server being Theta(log log number_of_servers) that the total load is Theta(number_of_servers * log log number_of_servers).
most successful crypto projects begin centralized and become distributed over time.

you can conceivably encode certain limits into the underlying LLC that physically stewards the document (“the document may not be intentionally destroyed”, etc) and then have the shareholder decisions be held via crypto votes. the problems which remain are the same problems existing corporations have: e.g. what happens if the company doesn’t fulfill their shareholder obligations? existing law provides mechanisms for recourse. if ConstitutionDAO goes the route outlined above, it’s really not much different than ordinary corporation-based ownership, just with a more accessible/visible shareholder voting/discussion mechanism.

I'm putting together devops content for the B2B arm of $FAMOUS_BOOTCAMP.

Here's my curriculum so far (based on AWS, though):

- Why DevOps (basically, a distilled version of "Accelerate")

- Terraform

- Ansible

- Docker

- Kubernetes

- ELK, Grafana, Prometheus

- Jenkins

- Automated testing

- MLops

- Secret management, databases, database upgrades

(The nature of the $FAMOUS_BOOTCAMP and the requirements from the initial customer makes it more about "here are the specific technologies you might use in your job today" and less about "here's the background principles").

Any suggestions or thoughts?
You are correct; I seemed to remember there was a catch but was too lazy to check, sorry. This isn’t a precedence parser, that was 18b, while this one solves 18a, which was just to resolve parentheses correctly and disregard precedence. (Original comment fixed.)
These prosecutors are the rabid political wing.

I would say if you use AWS daily, yes. At the very least it gives you some baseline knowledge.

If you do not use AWS daily and it's not something that you feel you're lacking, it may be a bit overwhelming.

I used the Solutions Architect Assoc. as a stepping stone to get out of web dev. It was a slow process but it set the wheels in motion and I no longer do web dev. I'm currently studying for the DevOps Pro but not in a huge rush.
I certainly have had the same thoughts, but I think it's a little different when you're up in these prices ranges and on a very high profile item. There's a lot at stake, not just for the dao, but Sotheby's as well. Not to mention the possibility the other bidders could conceivably be left holding the bag.
Providing customer service, including cancellation requests, is a fundamental part of running any customer-facing service.

If you can't manage that within the "willingness to pay for the service" then perhaps you shouldn't be running said service in the first place. Because soon enough your customers will have issues and nowhere to turn to, and then they won't be customers anymore (unless, you know, you make it a pain in their asses to leave).
