Chromium is the opensource project Google based Chrome on, there should be no need to explicitly stress it's Google free, Chromium is vanilla until google's APIs are added in. I guess the name persists for additional clarity though.

I personally use Henry's chrlauncher:

Some trust is needed but if given it automatically checks for builds on an automated build server and updates Chromium before launching it.
Twitter is an advertising platform and it's the ads, ad targeting, advertiser tools that change. Doing new things with a large volume of data requires a lot of engineering.

Well, if you have more riches, you can do more charitable giving, so I don't see why he would not be motivated by the possibility of more riches.
> I, for one, will always pick an imperfectly moderated cesspool

I once thought like that. And now, after seeing the cesspool of hate and ignorance on social media, and the turmoil it has created, I miss the days of quality journalism. Today, I fear getting trapped into echo chambers on the net, and not knowing anything beyond the narrow view they create. Having to figure out what content to trust is also not only tiring, but dangerous too.
Smells a lot like the Nextel -> Sprint transition back when I was working for Sprint. (Similarly Verizon's buyout of Centennial Wireless) I quit after the stress involved with companies coming in to move 200+ nextel phones over at the last minute only to discover that the Sprint network would never give them the same coverage. Plus their push to talk features everyone in the oil field relied on wasn't going to work deep in coastal industrial areas like they were used to due to it moving to a much higher frequency.

You basically had to maintain some level of cognitive dissonance to sell these companies on Sprint service because we all knew it would never work.

"Deep Dive Into Roam's Data Structure"[1] really got me very thirsty for having good core underpinning concepts/ideas of what data is, how it's held in the system.

I was unaware that Roam is built atop Datomic. Just hearing that set off a huge light bulb, that there's some very competent information-engineering underneath Roam, that it builds atop. I'd heard some very sunny statements about Roam from engineers I respect a lot, but I've only briefly played around in Roam, and have been unsure why people would feel strongly about it, would say it stands out so starkly against what I felt like were competing personal information archives like Obsidian.

Anyhow, I'm even less well versed in the similar-but-different realm of what Notion is, what Notion is for. Another wiki-ish like substrate for work, collaboration, data, information; adjacent, but different. More collaboration oriented. But reading this in-depth discussion on Roam, it underscored to me that the application layer, the look and feel, the product: it's kind of the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath, the engine of information: that is definitional, is core. Bias beware, this totally validates what I want to hear, which is that software's highest & most principal role is to enable deep use/creation, empower further realms of through, enable creation of better purchases/views/perspectives. Applications all feel done & baked, but I crave software that embraces an unlimited, that is just a starting point, and this review of Roam's data structures whetted this dormant hope, seemed like a strong indicator that we ought be aiming software much higher than we have been.

It suggests strongly to me that the underlying object/entity architectures of software are of key importance, not just as how programmers write code, but as vital concepts to the users of the system. And it re-invigorates my hope that the big solid line between the two classes eventually starts to dissolve some, become hazier.

Does it need to be ordinary silicon, or ordinary silicon processes (including temperature?). One seems much easier than the other, the later seems much more likely to be cheap (I can build a big laser on ordinary silicon today). Much harder to do with ordinary silicon in a somewhat standard process flow.
Sure it gets more people to vote, but for whom, and how are the benefits distributed, and by whom?

Not proof, and I may not like the inevitable conclusion, but this would be immediately corrupted by the democracy it intends to improve, if not sooner.

I think anyone should be able to take over as needed. Having done pair programming with coworkers over zoom, it's painful when I have to describe where I want them to click, and you have to resort to saying line numbers or describing constructs.

'We Make Mistakes': Twitter's Embrace of the Extreme Far Right
In addition to the other note that DNSSEC is _not_ required for FedRAMP certification (it's even discouraged by cloud.gov! https://cloud.gov/docs/compliance/domain-standards/ ), this is some weirdly intellectually dishonest phrasing (linking to tptacek's article Against DNSSEC: https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/01/15/against-dnssec/ ):

> While we are aware of the debate around the utility of DNSSEC among the DNS community, we are still committed to securing Slack for our customers.

The argument is specifically that it doesn't provide that security. At least it's neat to see actual begging the question in the wild, I guess.
Chromium contains google services, and significant google integration. It does not contain any of the closed source components, including some security components and DRM.

There's nothing about DANE that is fundamentally incompatible with Ed25519 signatures. But DANE is going to be an RSA ecosystem for the foreseeable future, because merely saying "DANE should be Ed25519" doesn't accomplish anything, and the installed base of DNS is firmly wedged into RSA (about once a year, Geoff Huston publishes a survey of how much of DNSSEC breaks when you try to use NIST P-curve signatures with it).

And there is a major organizational incompatibility with DANE and CT. The CA's don't do CT because they want to (in fact, many of them actively hate it, for reasons 'tialaramex discusses downthread). They do it because Google and Mozilla forced them to, and because Google and Mozilla will nuke them from the skies if they try to stop. The same is emphatically not the case with the operators of the DNS hierarchy, who are absolutely unaccountable to Google, which cannot revoke or even productively leave .COM.

But, of course, the simplest bit of evidence for an argument about why CT doesn't work with DANE is that CT doesn't work with DANE. The system you're discussing in generalities does not exist. CT works today for the WebPKI.
That's a little terse, but I think it does point towards a valid observation about how people's expectations have had to change. It's gone something like this:

* Once we've been vaccinated, life will go back to normal.

* Well, okay, vaccination requires two separate doses.

* Of course we'll need an annual booster, like flu.

* Actually your certificate will only be valid for 9 months. (EU)

* Did I say 9 months? Better make it 6. (Israel)

* "the minimum gap between the second vaccine dose and booster should be reduced from six to three months." <--- You are here

We're not yet at the stage of people being shut out of society for not having quarterly injections, but who could have imagined the current set of restrictions just a couple of years ago?

Definitely for me. I love MacOS’s UI and the way it renders the screen, apps and web sites. However, the runtime is not standard (not Linux) and it can be underpowered, depending on the hardware configuration. This feature lets me use the best of both worlds: nice UI and standard, powerful backend runtime.

There's the interactive use case while editing markdown where a UI is very nice, but there's also the use case of putting static site generation into an automated build and deployment process. Command line tools that respect standard command line conventions (exit nonzero meaning error, etc) offer an obvious pathway to automation. Often running a static site generator is but one of many steps in a repetitive process, and one part of usability is how easy it is to call the tool from a bash script or use it inside a rule in a makefile.

I can see you're offering self-contained prebuilt single-file binary releases. From my perspective those are a fine way to address the user request of "I want it to be easy to install without needing to first install and configure n other tools". That's one thing that I reckon hugo got right.

Out of curiosity I downloaded a linux binary md2blog release, and apart from needing to unzip and `chmod +x` it, it ran fine without dependencies -- i don't have any tooling related to deno or typescript installed locally.

Are you using `deno compile` [1] to build these self-contained release binaries?

I’m reminded of a chestnut I was once told; satisfied people generally do not post comments, because people don’t go out of their way to say that things are okay, and your everyday person doesn’t even really post good reviews unprompted, because good service is usually the expectation.

People only really get active about bad divergence from expectations.
No one said we are exploiting our workers. That's just an assumption being made because it is not possible to pay everyone huge wages.

And I am aware that labor creates value, but not all labor is equal. No one questions if a junior developer should earn as much as a senior/partner/staff engineer, but it's very much the same here. I ask someone to roll some dough into a ball and that I'll pay them $17/hour to do that. Some people will be faster and produce better balls, while others will be slow and produce lumpy round things. They are not producing the same quality and quantity but the cost to me is still $17/hour, therefore on paper one is more valuable than the other. That's not a heartless or mean way of looking at it, that is literally a required part of costs of goods sold. Ingredients and labor dictate how much each ball of dough costs to make.

We try our best to take care of our employees because they are so important, and you won't find a single one of them that says we are exploiting them. But they are not software people, and the dynamic is very different in the world of manual labor.
Twitter is a platform that offers a product. Your attention is the product.

The part of Twitter required to maintain a decent stock of product has not needed to change outwardly, because it hasn't had to. There hasn't been a new version of human in a very long time. But even then, anything that creates more product (drives more engagement) means more revenue opportunity for the 90% of the platform you will never touch.

The parts of the product that theoretically make revenue for Twitter have changed significantly over time. Analytics, ad intake/spend, promotion for influencers/brands/etc.

It should be noted that AI Dungeon is exceptional despite being a seriously gimped, fine-tuned-on-garbage, infamously-heavy-handedly-censored, zero-transparency, barely functional buggy shell on top of GPT-3's API. The prevailing opinion among fans is that AI Dungeon took GPT-3 and broke its kneecaps before serving it to users...

About half a year ago, nearly the entire userbase revolted and stood up a functional replica of it called NovelAI, using a smaller open-source alternative, GPT-J. It's a fascinating case study of how proper fine-tuning, training dataset, and customization can overcome parameter size -- NovelAI's outputs with a 6B model arguably outperform AI Dungeon's outputs with a 275B model. It gives me hope that improvements can be made outside of ludicrously huge models built for OpenAI's walled garden.

Democrats just passed the largest infrastructure spending bill in ages (including a huge push to get everyone broadband, among other great programs), are actively working on a massive boost to social spending, accomplished a trillion dollar relief package (direct payments) early on, and cut child poverty by nearly half (projected), all while dealing with a paper-thin majority in the senate.

Within the realities of how the political system works, that’s pretty progressive.

> What you are proposing are what I think would be called a security theater.

I don't think putting people to prison for, say, flipping a Tesla by screwing with its computer vision algorithm is security theatre. Rather, it's accountability. I'm pretty sure most people are aware that you cannot stop a determined attacker from breaking a system (which is exactly why Spectre mitigations were implemented as soon as the vulnerability was discovered: it's hard to exploit, but still possible).

Defining a legal code for exploiting computer systems through their hardware or their software is not security theatre, it's to ensure that we have a system to punish crime.
Zero. It is literally the case that you could publish the DNSSEC root keys to Pastebin tonight and almost nobody would even need to be paged.

>If I’ve learned anything in my decade plus in tech on both sides of the hiring table it’s almost no one cares about the race/gender of candidates, and that lack of care generally favors white men.

I don't think it "favors" white men. Go into any university Computer Science or engineering class and what will you find? Mostly White men and foreign students. Of course there will be other genders and ethnic groups but the majority of students are white men and foreign students. Therefore most of the candidates for jobs right out of school for most engineering positions at tech companies are white men because it is hard for foreign students to obtain work permits.

This would say the issue with diversity needs to be solved elsewhere. I think businesses should be judged on the diversity of the departments based on the diversity of people with the proper credentials. It is as asinine to think a tech company's engineering department should match the demographics of society when the demographics of the people obtaining the necessary skills to work in that department are so far off.

You can find demographics data here: https://datausa.io/profile/cip/computer-science-110701
It’s usually about the systems that serve the clients(the people who pay money to Twitter) and other parts of the company. They probably have a lot of internal system and corporate facing that change and evolve as the business evolves. Think contents management, legal, payments, BI, abuse prevention, systems performance, testing, growth, compliance, ads management for the customers and management for the ads purchases and performance, custom access to select people or clients and god knows what.

The hard part is the business part.
The first Lion Air flight crew correctly followed the runaway trim procedure and landed safely. The next crew on the same airplane crashed.

Boeing then issued an Emergency Airworthiness Directive to ALL 737MAX PILOTS:

"Initially, higher control forces may be needed to overcome any stabilizer nose down trim already applied. Electric stabilizer trim can be used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT. Manual stabilizer trim can be used before and after the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are moved to CUTOUT."
