If we are to investigate whether freedom is desirable, don't we owe it to ourselves to find out what freedom is first, find out if we are free, if we even can be free? Otherwise we can debate in circles about different meanings of the word and ultimately get nowhere.

I don't think the poetic appeal of the definition is useful if the definition itself lends itself to contradictions.

That's not true. When a write is committed to the SLOG, it acknowledges back to the host immediately. If you've got disk contention on the back-end, the host will absolutely see faster write response until the point your memory is 3/8th full. If you do not have an SLOG, the system will not ack to the host until it has committed the TXG to disk on a sync write, meaning any disk contention will present itself as massive latency. With 768GB of memory and a 480GB SLOG in the system that is a LOT of outstanding transactions that could be buffered.

Sure if your workload is primarily long, sustained transactions the SLOG will do little. But for any workload that is even a little bursty in nature (like hosting virtual machines) it will absolutely make a difference.

All of the above is assuming you have enabled sync=always, which I hope people are doing for production workloads unless they happen to have an app that can tolerate lost writes/partial writes.
There are several commercial alternatives to MS Office
I prefer WPS Office or Softmaker Office to OpenOffice.

In my personal opinion OpenOffice is not a suitable alternative.

I still let MS suck money with Office365 due to great grammar and spell checking (in multiple languages),

Yes, but is fundamentally true that humans don't really have any other reason for existence than to make more humans. So it makes sense that it's the easy button for manufacturing purpose.
One thing that's amazing about this scam is the sheer level of orchestration behind it. They had professionally produced music videos, polished conferences, and all the other markers of a well-financed and legitimate organization.

I'm the parent and yes like the other reply here I do the same. I keep a bouncer (Quassel in my case) connected 24/7 on a VPS.

Quassel is really nice, it's got infinite scrollback, multi-network, GUI configuration that is stored on the server, logs go into a database, and the desktop and mobile clients (QuasselDroid!) are really good. It brings IRC into this century without giving up what makes it so good. Unlike Matrix which is aiming more at the Whatsapp/Telegram/Discord community.

I use both mind you, but I don't integrate IRC into Matrix for this reason. I use Matrix just for the individual and small group chats and Quassel for IRC. Matrix gets too messy when you're on tens of different group chats.

That's exactly my point though. The only pruning of the graph which counts against your freedom is that which is done with the threat of legitimate violence. You are still free in spite of the fact that you cannot access said orchard. It's simply beyond your capabilities, much like you are still free despite lacking wings to fly over the barrier.

Who erected the barrier is not relevant here. What if the barrier was a circumstance of nature? An orchard on a plateau surrounded by unclimbable cliffs?

Hey! Sriram here, author of this work. I'd be glad to answer any questions. There's also a short talk I gave about this here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4Txdhlji4k) if that's helpful!
It is a delicate balance maintaining the right number of sub fora. One of my favorite a decade ago (electro-music.com) is still there but is very very dead, I think because they have something like 100 sub forums, so you would need a 1000 daily posting users to make it seem active. On the other hand, you have forums (gearspace.com) which don't seem to have enough subs so the main forums (I mostly go for the Electronic music forum) which makes it seem a little too busy or chaotic.
You can get higher rates, but not for extended periods of time, or as a reliable income. Only for a short time as you advise/solve an emergency issue. The highest hourly rate I've ever seen was in London for a very specific banking tax issue that only existed briefly. It was the equivalent of $7500 an hour.

The content at a URL can be changed at any time, NFTs that don’t prove that the content that serve hasn’t changed make for worthless NFTs.

IPFS is ideal for this use case because the URL contains a hash of the content meaning that either the original asset is served or nothing (which you can fix if you have the asset).
While I know contractors who have worked the same job for many years, this is not the standard, they're not making $1000/day and they have huge risk exposure. For the rest of us you don't work 10 months a year and vacation for 2. You spend a lot of non-billable time lining up work and selling. Then when you get that work it's (a) gross income, (b) temporary and (c) rarely remote at the start. Add to this giant pile of preconditions that a guaranteed 5% return doesn't exist in the world today and this "advice" is essentially: "My single data point => ??? => PROFIT!"
Thank you for this comprehensive explanation! I will look into Stripe for billing, and look into Auth0, SuperTokens, and Stytch for auth.

I just checked out Warrant and your docs are very clean :)

One limiting factor for my adoption of Warrant would be that my application would need to perform auth on each request from each user, which in total may be on the scale of thousands of requests per second for my application. When I looked at the pricing section, Warrant's Standard Plan costs $1 per 1,000 API requests / mo. This would be too expensive for my use case, but perhaps I am not the target customer...? sweat smile Regardless, I wish you the best of luck with Warrant!

I agree with what you said about rate limiting. Given that Warrant is also an API product, has rate limiting been something you have found to be a necessity already? What factors or indicators would push you to add rate limiting?
Here's hoping they open source their modifications.

Markdown, Gatsby. Source is in GitHub, GHA builds the HTML output, then schleps it over to an S3 bucket.

I inherited this setup. Works great from my end, but we've got an engineering team that set it up and owns the plumbing of everything. That's key, because many orgs have a "we set it up, now it runs forever and you deal with it" mentality. And Gatsby has a super steep learning curve. And I'm not a designer.

Previously used Jekyll and still use it (minimally) for my blog. Jekyll is okay but once you get past a couple hundred pages, performance gets exponentially worse. Had a site with a few thousand pages, and builds would take an hour or more. And that org had the aforementioned problem. A team designed it, then got laid off, and I'm trying to read a dummies book to figure out what size hammer to hit the thing with.

I've been in this for 25 years, so I've used about everything else. Flare, DITA, FrameMaker, RoboHelp, PageMaker. No typewriters, thankfully.

Not in my country, I actually get tax break for being self employed. In the end I pay less tax on my income than someone employed earning a similar income. Not to mention I make 2-3 times what I would make being employed. And I'm not playing any tax tricks.
For the record, if you search this password in Google but with a date range before 2019-01-01 you will end up with some actual reversed password list that gives two email addresses for this password, where they are almost same and only differ by dots.

> refining is where the real money is, so why don't Indonesians do it themselves...?

The economics of oil industry is more complicated than that. Canada does not refine most of its oil either. It's not because we don't have the technology or the money to build more refineries. It's because refining any more than the current amount does not make economic sense.
Yeah, back in uni I had a friend really, really good at algorithms.

This has come up several times in the past. One name for it was stdx.

Some in the ecosystem are very cautious of picking winners and losers, limiting the exposure to new break-out crates. Rarely recommending crates for different problems. This comes at the cost of making it a harder barrier to get involved because you need to be "in the know" for what crates to use or avoid.

Another problem with stdx is if anyone uses types from this in their public API, they are decoupled from the individual crates semver constraints which makes it hard to know which breaking changes from your dependency are a breaking change in your API.
JFYI, an old Italian proverb/saying:

Fare i conti spesso, moderar le voglie, spender men di quel che si raccoglie.

That roughly translates to:

Do the (financial) math often, limit your cravings, spend less than you can gather.
> People get to live or die because of views and opinions.

I disagree that my (largely uninformed) opinions really carry that much weight. If I were a doctor and patients were asking my medical opinion, then it would be extremely immoral to give them a harmful opinion. My opinioms about which politician said something racist or taboo are likely inconsequential. And of course if I did find that my opinion were having harmful consequences, I would change it, because I'm a moral person.

What are you talking about?

Lots of languages and frameworks make it easy to be self-hosted with there own server. In Python, .net, Go, Rust this is quite common.

This means that your app can be a self-contained app + server and the server part can have some business logic as well.

With Go, .net, Rust apps (and potentially others) that's quite nice to be able to produce a single binary app that you can just run anywhere without installing any framework or setting up any external server and it's ready to listen to incoming queries.

That can even be a good enough setup for home things that are not exposed to the web and where setting up reverse proxies could be overkill.

Unless you or anyone else has a copy of the file, then they can put it back and the URL will be the same. If you own an NFT that points to something on IPFS you probably want to keep a copy of the file lying around to do this if necessary.

There are projects trying to create permanent decentralised, content addressable storage (in some case as layers on top of IPFS), so maybe even that problem will go away.
I cringe at the thought of json.

I wonder what would be better? having search engines able to deal with different languages or having different search engines for every possible language, Don't see the point for the latter to be honest, having an universal language makes more sense to me.
This didn't work with Bash 4 (zsh is now the default shell), and Apple created in-house alternatives for OpenSSL (SecureTransport) and OpenGL (Metal), showing a degree of willingness to write replacements for impossibly-difficult subsystems that few others show.

I would hazard a guess, based on that tendency, that attempting to pressure Apple through open-source licensing is more likely to cause Apple to replace open-source with closed-source, than it is to benefit open-source in any way whatsoever.
> Being aware of this is healthy in so many ways, especially socially.

On the flip side, ascribing success entirely to luck is not at all healthy. I see lots of people who complain about their lot in life but then do nothing to change the trajectory.

The difference is "ego strength" is a real term used by real mental health professionals, and your analogy to metallurgical concepts is something you invented. Ironic, that in a discussion about ego and narcissism you would dismiss medical terms as "muddying the waters" and try to replace them with your own beliefs to benefit your opinion.
yes, thats where I learned about this, forgot it concretely though. Thanks for the reference!
Why do you think this shows incompetence?
When there is an oversupply of labor, we observe falling compensation for labor. If there were an overproduction of ‘elites’, we should expect to see less benefit and more distribution of wealth and power. Clearly the more reasonable explanation is that we are (and always have been) observing mimicking behavior by the non-elite, much like fashion.

Perhaps it is the same with the Ivy League. If you orient your life toward getting into an institution, club, or organization, then you are probably not elite in that context, even if they do let you in. It would be the other way around if you were. We can make that tautological if we define the elite as the points of accumulation for wealth and power. They do whatever interests them, and the rest of the world watches and competes to serve that interest.

I’m not sure that the concept of overproduction makes sense in that context. But perhaps there are many disappointed acolytes, as there are remorseful fashion buyers.

Yeah but some comparisons suck.

If you measure the IQ for the same ethnicity you will notice that the IQ changes over time.

Having proper levels of iodine is responsible for about 15 points of IQ. Removing lead from fuel, some extra increase.

Pollution, nutrition, water purity, all the accrued knowledge about fetal and child development that is applied in modern economies, etc. plays a role.

Also, there are negative factors like exposure to violence and trauma, substance abuse, which is correlated with poverty and inequality... which is a legacy of slavery, racial segregation, etc.

Same here. His point of not fighting the market is true though. For me, by being a good people person, who can convince people and beging good at many things better than others gives me value no one else has. Dont be in the rat race i think is the key point to me.
This isn't an invitation to attack us beyond as part of our HackerOne program (please don't make my life more difficult) but to steal a line from someone else at Monzo: Kerckhoffs's principle probably has some cross-over relevancy to this stuff.

I am perfectly willing to sacrifice some performance in exchange for not being locked into a vendor-specific proprietary NAS/SAN hardware platform or closed source software solution that's proprietary to that one vendor.
true, meant "most successful people work hard", to be more precise
It's also worth noting, (although there is nothing special about the security procedure described in OPs article; I'm in an industry that's been doing this for some time), Monzo doesn't stop you from running their app on a rooted Android phone; in some misguided belief that it's somehow more secure to prevent it, like all of the other major banks with their seriously sub-par app experiences (compared to Monzo).
They are probably focusing on shopify because they need to automatically ingest financial metrics for the valuation. Shopify has the transaction data so they can automatically value any company on the platform. They are probably starting with shopify since its the biggest ecommerce platfor.
The only difference is the pyramid scheme your bank account is embedded into has been going on a lot longer.

I own my house because I have a piece of paper that says I own it, but really it's because my neighbors choose to acknowledge the "legitimacy" of that paper. If someone else moves into my house while I'm on vacation I can oust them (probably) simply because I have more people "on my side". If enough people choose to acknowledge the legitimacy of NFTs then the scheme will not collapse. You are just making a prediction that people wont choose this, but I think you might be surprised. People attribute value to all sorts of nonsense, especially once they've invested in it themselves.

One day all this will be dust, but today, for a brief moment, some guy can trade his collection of digital monkey pictures for a real life piece of paper saying he owns a house, or a whole bunch of database entries at a crusty old bank. Or, I guess, even "cold hard cash" if he prefers.

>If you were to get hit by a bus after a few years, which path would give you more satisfaction having spent the last few years of your life pursuing?

One of the reasons I have a aversion to this question is that it's usually followed by "follow your passion" or something equally trite.

However, I do think it's useful when you are in a situation you hate and you wonder if it's worth leaving. Yes, definitely leave that.

If you have an "okay" job that lets you maximize your mental health and time for other things (e.g. family), maybe you'll feel like you made the right career tradeoff when that bus hits you.
