There with you. I can't formulate words and speak them while listening to music, but I can write them. Interesting that it blocks words to speech, but not words to fingers.

> In particular, people never musicalize conversational speech.
> (You can try, but I guarantee you will ruin the vibe of the conversation.)

On this statement of his, however, I'd disagree. If you have ever watched the show Letterkenny, the banter is clearly musical. I have friends that went to school with the creators, and that style of south/central Ontario banter is very much a thing, we can do it on cue. Theatre people can have a certain way as well, where stories told by stage actors are often sonorous and rhythmic. Some British trained actors begin to speak from their lower registers (think Ian McKellen or Patrick Stewart)

Then again, maybe part of being a great presence as an actor is stupefying an audience with a musical voice. I've met hypnotist/NLP practitioners who work on rhythm and tone in their speech, and this could be construed as a technique for disarming and neutralizing critical faculties. Personally, the idea that there is an out of band way to mesmerize people by turning off their critical and conversational faculties using rhythmic musical intonation is too much existential horror for me to accept.

I'll stick to writing, thank you.
Twitter, ~$35B Market Cap, no profits, operating expenses keeps growing with Gross Profits. Future projection of profitability is still slim. Along with trillions of social / political issues that you have to due with because you are running social media.

Square, ~$100B Market Cap, profitable, still mainly US based and growing. Crypto and Payment. Lots of potentials.

It is not too hard to pick which one to run.

BBC: Vaccine Booster Schedule Accelerated to 3 Months
You say Slack, and I agree, that's telling, but you have to add to that AWS itself, which had a DNSSEC bug in its wildcard record support as well. Slack and AWS together couldn't make this feature work. Further: the open source tooling Slack (like most places) relies on for deployment is also DNSSEC-hostile: one of their problems is that Terraform's Route53 provider doesn't safely disable DNSSEC once enabled. It's a mess everywhere you look.

I think another interesting question here is why Slack bothered in the first place. As was pointed out on the other DNSSEC thread today: practically nobody in the technology industry uses DNSSEC in the first place. Presumably, Slack did DNSSEC (they don't anymore!) in service of FedRAMP compliance. Why? Slack has one of the most popular products in all of computing. What bad thing was going to happen if they said "nah, we're going to go with Cloud.gov's recommendation and not this FedRAMP document"?
I took this course on Music as Biology: What We Like to Hear and Why [1] a while back and the presenter had lots of data showing similarities between speech and music, in fact saying we humans like music because it is very speech like to our perceptions.

Chicago would beg to differ. And New York.

When everyone is armed, people are very polite to one another.
The subtext here isn't that Slack is bad at this (they are not), but that DNSSEC is somehow intrinsically unsafe (it probably is).

> contracts meant for other lawyers who speak "Legalese English"

That's a misconception. Contracts are supposed to be drafted so that non-lawyers can readily understand and follow them (and so that, when necessary, ordinary-citizen jurors can understand and enforce them).

It's certainly true that some lawyers like to use legalese mumbo-jumbo. Maybe they want to make themselves look important. Or justify the hours they bill. Maybe they're terrified of deviating from what's been done before. But good lawyers aren't that way.
You've added some thoughtful features. I don't have a mac, but hopefully people will check this out.
I imagine they'll happily let your neighbor accept the terms and conditions you have yet to accept too =P That's a failure mode I hadn't thought about, I didn't realize people tried to control a TV with bluetooth.

Why would you do this? Initial configuration but then never again? I can't think of a technical reason it meaningfully helps when you can already type in a wifi password with the remote, so I'm inclined to assume that the feature isn't for the customer but rather because they want you to use their app on your phone because the data on your phone is more valuable than the data on your TV.
My LG tv started having an annoying popup message every few seconds, "Unknown device is disconnected", which was caused by a faulty WiFi module, documented here: https://www.theraffon.net/spookcentral/tcp/2019/07/10/lg-sma...

Since I use a Roku stick for streaming, I have no need for the WiFi module in the TV. I was able to follow the instructions in that post, which involve removing the back of the TV and physically disconnecting the Wifi Module, and correct the issue.

I suppose that's one way to make sure the TV is not silently connecting to WiFi, although I'm not sure how difficult that operation would be on other manufacturers.
Are there any good Linux CLI tools for generating an ERD?
I'm attempting to make a ERD and most of what I find on google are just heavily SEO'd SaaS-wares begging me to pay $$ per month for the privilege of manually dragging my mouse around their slow websites for hours. I'm using postgres but I'm fine with anything that requires a little bit of scripting or config files as long as it doesn't require yet another free trial of barely useful. The non-free ones that I have tried, have huge usability issues such as requiring me to drag literally every table into the diagram, one by one, and also the auto-arrange feature made an obsurdly large diagram with cartoonishly high amounts of whitespace.

Long term, I'd like to be able to automatically generate 5-10 ERDs (because all-in-one is too big) of these as part of my CI/CD process for my documentation.

I think if its sufficiently niche (topic or membership wise), the communities can have fairly civil conversations (and even disagreements). I think this is largely due to the fact that being niche means its less likely to attract troll-types looking for a platform.

I really hope the privacy-conscious people downloading this aren't just downloading these binary blobs and instead compiling it from source. Especially after seeing this disclaimer on their download page:

While they're being a bit of a smart ass about it, the criticisms are totally valid and they're not being entitled for offering them when the project is posted in a public space.

In fact pointing out that it contains telemetry and JS from Twittwr seem pretty important things to point out to people, at least in my book.
The pure Nullsoft Winamp was from 1997 to mid-1999 with AOL having Winamp under it's ownership until 2013 (technically until mid-January 2014) when it was sold to Radionomy (who then were bought by Vivendi but then bought themselves back under the guise of Audiovalley).

So that time with AOL covers v2.5 when it became free after starting out as shareware through to v5.666 along with the maligned WinAmp3 period. So that's whole a lot of not doing much but still producing releases for almost 15yrs. Winamp (& SHOUTcast) were sold before Verizon did it's thing with AOL.

NPR's fascination with and fetishization of race is sad to see. The fact that they list the 1619 Project (an ahistoric and well debunked project) as a "book we love" was all I needed to see. The mask fell off and the leftist/wokeism bias is on full display.
Oh god. The thought leaders. The truly despicable aspect of Twitter. These people pop up on my feed and it’s just extremely cringeworthy. No need to explain in depth what their thoughts are. Just 140 characters and off you go.
That's not censorship.

I'm not out celebrating when a country like Turkey or something blocks Twitter.

No, I'm advocating the Amish approach. It's perfectly reasonable and noble for a society to get together and decide "we're not going to use X". There's nothing censorial about that. It's the same kind of logic people use to advocate against things like ICEs and eating meat. Are vegans trying to "censor" your meat-eating? No. It's the same kind of reasoning behind us having _any_ laws to begin with.

And I'm not even talking about blocking Twitter. I'm saying that legislatively we should make sure that no company with a product like it can do business in our country(-ies). The same way that we have laws in place that prevent companies from business practices like "dumping toxic waste next to your housing development" under threat of force (like we will fine you to hell and back and then throw you in prison). Is that censorship too?

Come back with a more thoroughly-reasoned argument, please.
It won’t be long until we start taking a ddwrt approach and jtagging our tvs and replacing them with custom ROMs.

That's true. And when you have a huge number of operatives, like the CIA, it's even easier to escalate nascent conflict. Read up on Conintelpro and watch the Church Committee hearings to get an inkling of what we were (and are) engaged in on a global scale.

> I suppose the target groups of people studying his introductory book is not any random junior student at a random CS department if he is expecting them to pick up Knuth's Art of Computer Programming right after Introduction to Algorithms.

I don't think he's expecting a student to do that. He recommends the book in response to the question "What’s next?", implying that if a student would like to learn more, they should go to Knuth's books. Also, judging from the Quora link, he assumes the student has had a course in discrete mathematics, so they should be familiar with mathematical proofs and be comfortable with some level of rigor.

I don't think Knuth's books are impossible to read, but a primer to some of the material can help (and understanding mathematical proof is a prerequisite).

Perhaps you meant to respond to another comment, but I don't see any connection between your objection to my analogy and the original point. I did refer to housing but only as an example of a good where the market price for similar goods is not a perfect substitute for the original item from the owner's point of view, creating an incentive for the owner to set a higher buyout price. Losing the copyright doesn't mean losing access to the work, true—nothing like needing to find alternate shelter on short notice—but it does mean losing control and that would most likely lead many copyright holders to set a higher buyout price than the going market rate. This aspect is similar to the emotional investment in a home which makes it worth more to an owner (with no plans to sell) than it would be worth to a stranger evaluating it on purely financial grounds.

Judging from your phrases "monopoly on rent-seeking" and "ability to stop that productivity", I suspect we're approaching this from similar mindsets. As I said before, if it were up to me I would not grant copyright in the first place. Requiring payment for copyright privileges and creating an option for the public to buy out the copyright holder are steps in the right direction. However, I wouldn't want to see the same eminent domain model applied to true property, such as real estate, under the mistaken assumption that it results in an accurate valuation for tax purposes.
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT WHAT MOZILLA VPN CAN DO FOR YOU?
I've seen this sort of comment many times, implying that indicators, flashing lights, use of the horn is unique to certain countries or regions. Yet every time, there's replies saying "hey I'm from <region not mentioned> and we also do this".

It seems to me people haven't realised the behaviour displayed in their part of the world isn't as unique or quaint as they think it is!

I mean, I agree with you and don't find the language disingenuous (I felt like it was more of a tell that the people working on this cursed project weren't super read into DNSSEC and DNS security in general, which isn't a knock; it's a boring thing to keep up with, especially when the best-practice answer is so simple --- just don't bother with DNSSEC).

But I'd also say that DoH (1) largely obviates any need for DNSSEC (the last-mile DNS problem is the only on-the-wire DNS security problem that needs solving) and (2) doesn't enable DANE in browsers, which is what people are talking about when they talk about DNSSEC intersecting with browsers in any way other than randomly making sites fall off the Internet.
Seems like an added deterrent for any would-be assailants. Along with the usual issues moats present, raw sewage floating around would certainly make me think twice about a night swim across the moat.
I have read several self-published non-technical books and the lack of professional editing smacks you right in the face from the first page.

Two that stood out in that aspect were "Unix: A History and a Memoir" by Brian Kernighan and "Not All Fairytales Have Happy Endings" by Ken Williams (of Sierra, Space Quest, etc.)

Had really high hopes for both and they were an absolute chore to read. The "Unix" was excruciatingly boring, despite the underlying material. The "Sierra" was just over-board quirky and poorly structured, more like a collection of random notes stapled together and padded to target thickness. Both could've been much better given a bit of professional editing attention.
Because they're a library with a DMCA exception (which may be expiring soon), they are allowed to host that content. That doesn't mean you are allowed to download it though. Normal copyright and DMCA law still applies to you as a consumer of this content. Also Jason Scott has stated that they prefer to take a stance of "just upload whatever it is first, then if someone complains we will take it down".

We really lack a better name here than packaging.

When it was packaging substrate, wire-bonds, chip, pins, and heat spreader, yeah, ok. But now the substrate is probably it's own interposer, perhaps with more interposers in it, the chip is probably at least two chips, when more and more is stacked together & intricately interconnected: the word packaging feels super super insufficient.

Massive shout out to "The Rising Tide of Semi-conductor Costs"[1] for talking to a bunch of related concerns. It didn't go nearly deep enough into this point, and this article does a little more, but it found the choice quote, and it's implicitly about "all this":

> ASML, in its investor day, made a bold statement that Moore’s Law will continue with system-level scaling.

Which seems exactly so. Via "advanced packaging". Via stacking more chips up. Via better interposers & EIMB to string together more chips more closely. We're on the cusp of advanced chips becoming many chips. For places like flash memory, this has been the way already for a while, but we're stacking cache and main memory and real compute atop each other, connecting them side ways-- what was "the chip" is being reborn, is now a system of chips.

However the Rising Tide article's core point is much more complex, about costs & complexity. It could well be blistering correct that this reformulation, that this advanced packaging, while allowing much more advanced scaling, wont aid the same Moore's Law we have come to enjoy:

> I want to focus not just on the technological headwinds, but the cost headwinds. One of the major historical assumptions of Moore’s Law is that not only would your transistors double every two years, but the cost of the transistors would decline. No longer.

That absolutist statement is also incorrect.

"Go has strong memory safety guarantees" is more accurate. But neither "Go is memory safe" nor "Go is not memory safe" are correct.
There is still some mysticism that exists embedded in a type 1 world. Nursing literature sometimes refers to nurses’ intuition, which is an indescribable feeling that something is wrong with a patient but you can’t quite describe what it is.

Otherwise, nursing is very much a type 1 world of models that describe how nurses interact with the world around them.

Advocates for free speech that support a "public square" model of free speech but who refuse to adapt that to the modern digital communication systems are doing more harm than good in my opinion.

A public square filled with nation state actors influencing the volume and contents of the subjects of discussion in the public square are doing more to inhibit free speech than any technological solution owned by a social media platform. Corporate censorship is a lot easier to fight, as users can walk or investors can react when things are not matching the desired effect. It's not perfect, but better than an open-ended "everything free" world where it can be manipulated by those with the right resources (in my opinion).

What we need is for people to get a lot more creative with how to create, support, and sustain free speech online without relying on millennia old concepts which do not map to our current problems quite well.
Both Vivaldi and Brave have adblockers built in by default, and Brave's both won't get fucked over by Manifest v3 (since they're part of the browser) and do CNAME uncloaking, the thing that makes uBO better on Firefox than Chromium.
The problem with this is updates: there is no trusted publisher of binaries, and even if you pick one person to trust, oftentimes builds are 6 - 8 weeks out of date with Chromium which means you're susceptible to all the published zero-days.

Tried building it myself and it takes 4 hours on my 32-core 5950x, and you still depend on someone actually porting a version bump because their patches need to be regenerated for every new chromium build.

I like the idea of it in principle; if someone donates some CI time and we get official CI builds, plus getting more active with picking up new builds it'll be a real contender. I'll stick with Firefox for now.

I have a friend who is preparing himself for divorce and he is terrified of what may happen.

As I tried to counsel him a bit to help him down from the worry ladder, I thought to myself how scary it is that even despite our current point in history, divorce has rarely if ever worked well for men, and most of what I say to console him is likely meaningless comfort.

With all the problems in the world, worry is what kills the most of us. I manage it by only focusing on what I can control and by staying out of the spotlight of scrutiny and shame as a man myself. It's probably also the reason why I've chosen to not get married unfortunately as well to this day.
