It is critical to distinguish risk from uncertainty.

> "Uncertainty must be taken in a sense radically distinct from the familiar notion of Risk, from which it has never been properly separated.... The essential fact is that 'risk' means in some cases a quantity susceptible of measurement, while at other times it is something distinctly not of this character; and there are far-reaching and crucial differences in the bearings of the phenomena depending on which of the two is really present and operating.... It will appear that a measurable uncertainty, or 'risk' proper, as we shall use the term, is so far different from an unmeasurable one that it is not in effect an uncertainty at all."

Drivers and mind share are the only serious problems. Emulating Posix is not a debilitating chore. The browser can run adequately under OS emulation. Getting Vulkan ported is doable. Anyway, ordinary CPU cores are good enough for all but game graphics.

But the overwhelming mass of devices to drive is the show-stopper. Probably the best that can be done is to implement drivers for Qemu virtual devices, and run under a hypervisor that has drivers for real things.

How can you say that? I can’t run home brew games on an Xbox due to intentional locking down of the device by Microsoft forcing me to buy games they bless to be on their platform.

For the record, you should be able to do these things. But that is somewhat of a naive view of the world.
Transcrypt is a tool to compile a fairly extensive subset of Python into compact, readable JavaScript. It has the following characteristics:

It’s lightweight, in accordance Pareto’s rule adapted for IT: 99% of the result can be achieved with 1% of the effort.
It offers the semantic essence of Python along with the clean syntax that the language is famous for
It cooperates flawlessly with the JavaScript universe of web-oriented libraries
It translates Python into highly readable, easy to debug JavaScript

Regarding 3), how well someone's social strategies pay off is completely separate from their morality. It's irrelevant.

Just as a thought experiment: if there was little social cost to it, killing your competitors would probably be a very successful strategy. Would you go: "sure, he kills people, but it makes him very successful and we should give him kudos for that"?

Regarding your last statement, that "being nice and consistent" is a recent social norm, I call bullshit and citation needed.

Wikipedia was mentioned in the article and it provides a great example of a product that was built in a decentralized way. Ironically, the author doesn't appreciate that Wikipedia's success had nothing to do with Web3 or crypto. The success of large companies isn't because of a lack of technology, it is due to human nature and economies of scale and network effects. Anti-trust is the way you fix this. Break youtube out of Google, Instagram out of FB, etc...

Also, Wikipedia has shown that centralization is necessary sometimes. For example, political pages are frequently locked because people with the most extreme and inaccurate viewpoints are the most vocal.

Even though you don't see it, I'm pretty sure the creator tried to tell a deeper story in this series. And from that perspective, it's quite obvious why a second season couldn't just be a repeat from season 1.

> I interview a lot of candidates. I just can't imagine to make a hiring decision for a dev, let alone a manager that manages other managers, based on 20 minute discussion.

But what if others in their 20 minute discussions with the candidate ask the questions you would have asked if you had spent longer interviewing them?

If the hiring decision is based on the feedback from all the interviewers I could see having many of those interviews be short interviews where the interviewer just concentrates on finding out one important input for the group decision working, provided that there are enough interviews to cover all the important things and if there has been some planning on the part of the company to coordinate who covers what in the 20 minute interviews.

I have no idea if Stripe does the necessary coordination to make that work, but the fact that several of the interviewers started out mentioning they would only need 20 minutes suggests that it was some sort of organized thing.
This is exactly how I interpreted it. I'm Dutch and the film interpretation of my countrymen is usually someone with a German accent, someone who gets high or a prostitute. No American will ever complain about that.
Its shocking and gore, portraying a totalitarian sub society with hints of communism. It reminds us of North Korean. But for some reason, westerners think its a “critique of capitalism”.

Edit: to clarify, the “hints of communism” here refers to the game on the island, not south korea. These people willingly left capitalism to join this weird commie authoritarian style game to make money.

It's also not afraid to have protagonists of questionable character. Northern Asian media at least understands that people aren't perfect and crafts excellent stories of growth at the hands of a self-inflicted struggle.

Western media is full of level-headed, mild-mannered, sharp, witty, moral paragons of protagonists with motives that are practically announced from loudspeakers.

Pretty shocking to see Taleb write such a poorly thought out article.

Taleb fails to account for opportunity cost (a huge fail, if also a widespread one), the inevitability of exposure, and much else. He then invokes eugenics, and calls people who disagree psychopaths. What the actual fuck?

And his math is baaad.

> Now if we were to compute the effect on life expectancy, note that the effect acts across the board: a 30 year old loses more than 50 years of life, an 80 y.o. loses about a decade, etc.

It's pretty easy to understand and not deep at all.

It'd certainly be nice (although an oxymoron) if Framasoft could singlehandedly create a deep decentralised network of video content creators to challenge YouTube. But that isn't really necessary - if all they do is bring down the cost of someone else to compete then that is more than enough to be helpful.

And while I do agree that a savvy marketer would have had a video in the article ... a video is actually a bad medium for communicating a new release. Videos are better for stuff with a bit of visual spectacle.

Lol absolutely not. They participate out of free choice.

Its a warning that people could choose to participate in a centralized, communist totalitarian system if they are encouraged to do so. It reminds us of the communist revolutions from the early 1900s and a lot of the leftist rhetoric from today.
Regular logs are just whatever your app logs normally (engineering/debug).

Process logs are business processes that you need to report on or answer for later.

Audits are another business layer for safety or life critical data, or adversarial data (handling money based transactions). They could be compliance related. Auditing is a three step process - Ask a question, figure out how to answer it, and make sure you've answered it.

So specifically, if you have a magic bean shop and you want to log transfer of the beans, that would be a process log. Then at the end of the day, you would send a manifest of all the beans sent that day. The audit process would look at the final location of the beans, and also at the process log to answer your audit questions.

I think a lot of people make a hard distinction between business logging and engineering logging, and I'm not sure that makes sense.
> Hero of Alexandria made, or at least described, a simple steam turbine. But it was just seen as a toy

It was in fact a toy [0]. It was basically a kettle mounted on a spindle with two spouts on opposite sides. When heated the steam escaped via the spouts and the whole thing rotated around the spindle. For many reasons it could not have done useful work:

* Very low pressure - with no valves to maintain a working pressure or pistons to drive a machine

* Not engineered to withstand useful pressure (simple copper welds)

* No way to reload water when in use

Sock puppets obviously sock puppets agreeing with “the other side” so you would convince yourself whatever “side” you were on was obviously correct if the other side needed sock puppets.
Solaris has (had?) QFS which allows for multi-host access:

> Shared QFS adds a multi-writer global filesystem, allowing multiple machines to read from & write to the same disks concurrently through the use of multi-ported disks or a storage area network. (QFS also has a single-writer/multi-reader mode which can be used to share disks between hosts without the need for a network connection.)

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QFS

A few jobs ago I inherited a setup where files/artefacts were uploaded to a file server but had to be shared with clients, but for 'legal' reasons the internal host could not be exposed to the outside world—but (some of?) the data could be. So an external disk pack was purchased and one SAS port went to the internal machine and the other SAS port went to the external machine.
Agreed, I was a huge BeOS evangelist back when Be, Inc. was still around and a while after they were bought out. I ran it as my main OS for several years and to this day I prefer its interface, multimedia back-end, and file system to anything modern. Haiku would scratch that itch if only, as you said, it supported modern hardware and current necessary software. This announcement is one step closer to the former becoming a reality, and I'm so there for it! I feel like once it's stable enough for use as a daily driver hardware-wise, the software porting side will begin to catch up.

Seriously? It portrays current South Korea, which is one of the most capitalist societies in Asia. Did we watch the same show?

In fact, most of the circumstances that bring the players in the squid game are due to poverty and failed capitalism.

Who said anything about hard problems or "big investments"? I never said that. Why are you saying that?
I think there's a middle option between (1) building your application up from a low-level stream-of-events data model and (2) having your application full of logic to snap from one high-level state to another without a good data-layer audit trail:

I'm talking about indexes.

Yes, the index part of your database is amazing, because it constantly snaps itself into various states, and you know exactly why: because it needs to maintain itself in the same deterministic relationship with your models.

I think that if databases would support more complex and composable indexes, like providing the ability to index join queries, then application programmers would be more nimble and bug-free working with their data.

I've written more about this here: https://lironshapira.medium.com/data-denormalization-is-brok...
Is the idea to hit the database directly from the web browser, without a server component? Do people actually do this?

I mean, I can see the appeal, but I feel that having a layer of indirection between your database and your API is useful to keep the database somewhat normalized while making your API endpoints logically useful for the problem domain.

But, I haven’t been in the web programming game in over 5 years and pretty much stuck with plain old rails back then, so I think I’m just out of touch in general.
You're conflating different people's comments. From reading the thread, people expressing opinions described in your second paragraph are not also expressing opinions described in your third paragraph.

The show can have a good message and also have bad writing/be derivative/etc.
> They didn’t say this. They wrote a vaguer statement. You jumped in and assumed a lot.

I am just trying to understand by what 5D logic you are coming to your conclusion so I am speculating.

I am literally struggling how anybody could come to such a conclusion because its so nonsensical. It just literally make no sense to interpret his action over the last 20 years with this framework.
> Y'all seem to think that we're in some kind of meritocracy, that predatory capitalism isn't centrally planned, that you earned your position in society and so everyone who's poor just isn't working hard or smart enough...

Not everything is perfect, but we're not living in a dictatorship yet. Sure, some poor people don't have a chance and the closer you are to money, the easier it gets, but it's not like it's all on the system. There are also quite a few capitalist countries other than the US, with less problems.

> there's still people in this thread saying "I don't understand the appeal", "it's just brutality and shock value", "if you can watch this you're rich and who it's aimed at", "pfft, this is a ripoff of [obscure manga]"...

I agree that squid game can be interpreted that way. But let's be real here, there's massive amounts of gore in there and it's portrayed extensively, far beyond where it would be necessary to make a point. And I'm pretty sure that a lot of people watch it mostly for that and for the crime story, not the implied portrayal of society. You can see it in there, but squid game is mass market first, social critique second.

How well does Haiku work on bare iron nowadays? Any tested laptops - better, any repository of tested brand/models, or of tested hardware in general?
Yeah I did!
I don't understand why the message ends up "let's go crypto" and not "make protocols, not startups".

He started by talking about the good old days. He clearly identifies the issues of crypto and that there was nothing wrong with open protocols besides speed to market (which is easier to fix than the snafu of crypto)

He identified Wikipedia vs Encarta and Wikipedia is a success but has nothing to do with crypto.

There are so many issues with blockchains compared to publishing RFCs and pushing an opensource client as a scout... it boggles my mind.
Not sure what you’re arguing against here. A piece of fiction can have a strong moral point of view and still be of poor quality. The righteousness of message doesn’t instantly make the messenger appealing.
Kinda expected to see some elaborate packaging, in the spirit of Les Joyaux De La Princesse, or something like that.

I thought boxsets are usually in large part decorative items, owing to the limited but quite paying demand and the physicality of the goods.
The interesting thing to me is its popularity. Back in 2007, the same people that are now singing praises to SG would not have looked twice at Kaiji. In fact, I bet that had SG not been popular, the very same people would not watch it or allow themselves to enjoy it.

In other words, it seems to me that it first had to be publicly announced as 'popular', before people would consider watching it thus actually making it popular.
Touched on that with "My experience is that many of them aren't terribly good, or were good but are no longer maintained, etc"

But... I realize now my comment was edited some during writing, and I merged two different directions I was heading in in to one comment, and didn't really finish either direction...

You're correct that the quality is mixed at best, and... discovery is a pain. I regularly use phpstorm, and when working with others using vscode, I see they've gone through multiple php plugins for vscode, with varying success, and almost nothing comes close to the built-in functionality with JetBrains. The "live share" aspect of vscode is really nice (and 'codewithme' is OK too) but I've rarely been on a team where people ever paired enough to make it a useful or regular part of work.

The 'remote' thing is where vscode has really seemed to rocket ahead in the last year or so (just my own observation from colleagues). I didn't understand the attraction, then... on thinking about it more, I guess I can somewhat understand the attraction, but it's not something I've felt compelled to pursue - it's felt like a step backwards. Maybe that will be something I revisit in 2022...

Yes. Basically it is a re-branded, re-heated and re-packaged entertainment version of today's rat race.

Unfortunately, lots of people are just easily impressed by what influencers are watching or what is 'trending' these days. So they follow the hype squad around; like sheep.

It is great for Netflix's business since they have a successful hit, but count me out of the hype squad; since I simply cut through the hype.
