I urge you to read Hatcher's book (or better, tom Dieck's book published by EMS) immediately. I can't even imagine learning homological algebra without a bunch of concrete topological examples to compute with. That sounds confusing.

The M1 Max runs also at a fraction of the 3080 TDP.

Performance in gaming is a non issue. Apple didn’t advertise it as a gaming machine, and quite honestly, nobody buys a $3000+ MacBook to play games.
This, but unsarcastically.

> An 'us vs them' narrative between citizens and government is really really unhealthy.

Yes, and when we eliminate it from the portion of government responsible for law enforcement by destroying the toxic culture of policing in this country (founded largely in various strains of racism), we can then relax it on the public side.

But even more unhealthy than mutual hostility is when the the armed agents of government have an “us against the them” attitude toward the people, and the people having a submissive, trusting attitude to the armed agents of government.
In my experience we treated the nutty requests with full respect -- but they tied up the system. We had a full office dedicated to responding to requests but it still was a slow process.

It was a poisoned well in the sense that it was the public with unreasonable requests that messed it up for others in the public.

Most of the games I've seen were at local and state level where the sheriff or police chief would just say "nah" or ignore with no accountability.
i'm glad you said that because i read the parent comment and thought how could that list have been so miscontrued.
My pro-tip here is to use the XIVLauncher (get it from github).

Logs you in much faster than the default launcher.

They brought in dev machines to address this. The issue is the queue is for your data center. And it maxes out at 15k. I think they're going to be operating at 17,500 now?

There's most likely some really long open socket connection with no retry logic. So anytime you get a hint of packetloss it's over. Polling would be better but would also require a lot more hardware? I'm not sure how I'd design a better system.

As soon as the queue hits 15k people get booted and you end up with about 2-3 minutes to get back in and keep your spot.
It doesn't work like that when you're one of two players in the segment, that's what antitrust is about. "It's their platform" would work well if there were any significant alternatives, which there aren't.
> supposed to look at for driving-related information...

You should be looking at your instrument cluster, not the middle screen for essential driving related information.

- edit -

I stand corrected, there is no instrument cluster (only aftermarket ones I mistook for stock).

So does this split the screen or take over the whole screen? If it splits it, I'm still okay with it, if it's the whole screen I'm not.
It should be illegal to affect anyone by the smoke.

My dream system would be: If you are at a public place but there is no one else around (clearly defined by distance), that would be okay. If there's a single person they would have right to sue you and it's your responsibility to ensure you aren't affecting anyone as the smoker. If in doubt, you can smoke home.

My point is, anyone should be able to anything to their own body as long as their actions aren't affecting other people. Anything from smoking/secondhand smoke to harder drugs/driving under influence etc would be judged by the same logic.

I don't smoke and actually hate smoke, but I don't feel that I have any right to prevent anyone from smoking, as long as their smoke doesn't get in contact with me.
Looking at it are a lot more questionable things about EasyOS than dropping ISOs. For a distribution that claims to be "easy" it makes even my head hurt as a power user, I can't imagine it being easy for the average user.

> This is controversial, however, it is just a different philosophy. The user runs as administrator (root), apps may optionally run as user 'spot' or in containers as a "crippled root" or user 'zeus'. The practical outcome is that you never have to type "sudo" or "su" to run anything, nor get hung up with file permissions.

This is a horrible idea. It's not a "different philosophy", it's just incredibly dumb and insecure, especially if you're trying to market your distro to the average user. It's even worse than Windows. Using this logic, why don't they do `chmod -R 777 /` then? See how ridiculous that sounds? Exactly my point.

They're basically just doing some buzzword marketing by saying "we support containers!" but it doesn't say if any services actually run in containers by default. And even if they do, the default setup is still extremely insecure, making users run every command as root by default.

> No systemd, and it is also worth noting what else Easy does not have: policykit, pam, pulseaudio, avahi. The Dunfell-series doesn't have the Qt libraries, but that may change.

I can understand not having systemd, for me it's both a blessing and a curse. But the lack of PAM will break a lot of things like Google Authenticator/TOTP and YubiKey support. Arguably, most average users won't need those (though IMO 2FA should be more normalized), but then again as I've already said the "EasyOS" name seems to be self-contradictory, demanding a bunch of things that power users may be fine with but average users will just get confused by.

> When someone boots up Easy, they will see that the menu (bottom-left of screen) is totally different from what they are accustomed to. Ditto the folder hierarchy. The thing is, keep an open mind -- it is very easy to adjust, and there are solid reasons for the differences.

Again, if you're trying to market to the average user this is nonsensical and just serves to confuse them even more. Sure, power users may be able to adjust more easily, but then don't call it "EasyOS".

> Ditto. The kernel-assigned names for drives and partitions are retained. For example drive sda and partition sda1.

Which distribution actually does this? I'm aware of it being done for network interfaces, but I haven't seen such a thing for drive names yet. (That said, I do believe that the new "predictable" network interface names are stupid and just cause more issues than they solve. Maybe it works well to ensure consistency if you have two network cards, but the whole thing falls apart as soon as you change the hardware.)
Compare the "Great Recession" with the Great Depression or the Panic of 1873. That's how much worse it could be.

There's a reason the FDIC was set up as part of the reforms triggered by the Great Depression. Bank failures tend to cascade.
There are some good mainstream recommendations in the thread already. For something less obvious: Given your background, you may find SICP (https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/index.html) works well for you.

If you work your way through the exercises, and read the footnotes, you'll end up with a pretty solid base. You don't have to do the work in scheme, but that in itself is a good learning exercise.
I think I'm inadvertently escaping this by viewing all videos in theatre mode! I find it hard to keep my focus on video and instead look for long texts that explain them. But nothing beats well produced videos. Its the same as well explained topics in text with good diagrams.
What percentage of software projects are complete disasters? In spite of being staffed almost entirely by people with CS degrees? 50%? 60%? I guess that is because it is so easy? Whether from a societal POV they need to be that complicated, the answer is of course "no", it is all about business goals and is mostly crap we don't need. But what has that got to do with the price of tea in China? The discussion is about whether software is "real" engineering, not if engineers are engaged in meaningful work.

On that front, the idea that software systems with 100s of features, millions of daily users, extreme uptime requirements, hackers all over the world trying to break in daily , and billions of $$ on the line is "ifs and for loops" or "librarian work" is... oh come on. Never mind, this conversation is silly.

You say you are an experienced developer, but honestly it sounds like you've never built anything except generative art object apps.
So you'll stick with more inefficient software for the sake of political ideology? The thought of that is very funny to me. It highlights everything wrong with software design today.
> zero expectation that this is something users want, or will use.

Facebook Messenger already has this feature using fiat, Apple lets you send money via iMessage, Telegram already has this feature. Seems like adding payments is staying competitive with features other messaging utilities has. It might also be a money grab, but something can be two things at once.
Some places (Portland I think) deliberately limit the height of buildings so you don't feel like you're in a prison when walking around.
I'd say most non-technical windows users are used to download executables via google search.

As an example case, when you search for "vlc player", the top 3 Google results are:

- vlc.de (A scammer site blocked by my ad blocker)

- videolan.org (The authorative source and official site)

- chip.de (A german tech tabloid providing their own downloads of popular programs serving their own ads)
All dynamical systems have a phase space and ones with the return property don’t necessarily have to be ergodic.
> then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told Congress it was a simple matter of bad apples who would be punished, not a systematic problem with new U.S. military policy.

Rumsfeld's story is symptomatic of how the US treats powerful people: once you arrive you will be among friends, your voice will be amplified by the press, with an infinitely wide safety net and no ability of any group to hold you accountable or even make a dent in your bottom line. For all of the hoo ha about American democracy, powerful individuals are sacrosanct and checks on power are devalued: in the courts, in government, in the workplace, and in culture.

Seems to me that we both are rankly speculating outside the bounds of the given evidence, no?
> Seems like a Microsoft issue to me.

False. Microsoft is not responsible for ensuring that 911 is available - Google is, as they are the phone hardware and OS manufacturer. Teams can only use the APIs exposed to it by Android - if use of those APIs allows 911 calling to be disabled, that's a bug in Android, not Teams.

Similarly, if an application using the standard Linux kernel APIs is improperly elevated to root because of a bug in the kernel, that's the fault of the kernel, not the application. The kernel is responsible for ensuring that even misuse of its API or a buggy application doesn't violate certain constraints that the user expects to be upheld.
What the proposed architecture allows is to continue using SPIFFE or another certificate management solution to generate and distribute the certificates but use either a per-node proxy or an eBPF implementation to enforce it. Even if the authentication handshake remains in a proxy but data encryption moves to the kernel then that is a massive benefit from an overhead perspective. This already exists and is called kTLS.
There is no evidence aside from a Twitter image, and heresay with no records.

Yeah - it's quite frustrating because dumb knee-jerk responses like what we saw on HN make it harder to push back on actual bad policy.

Another recent one was the Covid bluetooth exposure notifications that were cleverly designed in a way that preserved privacy. People on HN with no understanding of how it worked freaked out and as a result instead of that smart privacy preserving approach governments just bought location data or implemented other centralized information systems that are much worse for privacy.

If I worked in policy it'd be hard not to roll eyes at the privacy people and just ignore them - which is definitely not what we want.
Freedom is defined by what you can get away with. Not by what is entrenched in law. Your free to rob a bank and defend yourself in court. Your just not entitled these "freedoms."
I think lots of countries have changed their pension rules in a way that treats people born after a certain date differently from people born before a certain date, whether or not they express it in those terms. Is that fundamentally any different from the proposed smoking rule?
I forget the details, but that was done to at least one major US-based institution in 2008.
Negligence in testing also needs to be disincentivized.

If they've BUILT a system where apps can interfere with the ability to place calls, AND NOT written appropriate exceptions for 911 calls to bypass all such interference, AND NOT tested such exceptions, then there's a huge problem. That is absolutely the regulator's business.

I can't speak to the way modern phones are designed, but in earlier ones, 911 calls have all sorts of special status. They override pretty much all the phone's self-preservation mechanisms:

Transmitter deck too hot, normal calls can't be placed? 911 overrides that; the phone will melt itself if that's what it takes to get your call through.

Battery too low, normal call would be dropped so the phone can shut itself down without corrupting its flash filesystem? 911 overrides that, it will run until the circuitry physically ceases to function, in case that buys you a few more minutes of contact with the operator who might save your life.

Power control? Some phones would allow higher wattage when docked in a car-kit, but limit themselves to a lower power level when hand-held, to comply with tissue absorption regulations. Guess what limits go out the window when you call 911! Of course it's not gonna use the power unless it needs it, but if weak signal would cause a normal call to drop, 911 calls can tap into extra capability.

They will do ANYTHING to make that call go through.

And for software to fuck it up in the name of some obscure feature that clearly didn't get adequate testing, is unconscionable and spits in the face of literal decades of engineering effort.
Do you actually believe that most of the people in the US live in mobile homes?

My house was built in 1916 and will easily last another 100+ years. Almost all the houses in my neighborhood were built around the same time and are still standing in good condition. Yes it's a wood house and yes wood houses can last a long time.
Why would you want to push ‘important alerts’ using an off by default, unreliable api?
You could probably reduce car accidents by reducing the number of cars on the road and destroying much of car infrastructure.
Yep, I think we are in agreement. It's a buyer beware kind of thing for collectors of NFTs to do their own diligence if they care about these details. I do love the on chain projects though and the budding generative art scene. For example how Art Blocks keeps their code on chain... it's a very creative use of the medium.
Author of linkerd argues that splitting this responsibility will improve stability as you'll have a homogeneous interface (sidecar proxy) over a heterogeneous group of pods. Updating a sidecar-container (or using the same across all applications) is possible, whereas if it's integrated into the application you'll encounter much more barriers and need much wider coordination.
any response other than 'this is a bug in android and we are working 24/7 to release a fix' is playing it down. this is the emergency number. kids in kindergartens learn songs about calling 911 or 112.

i know it isn't a verizon problem, because google tried to blame teams.
The PMS name didn't last long. It was a running joke on the project when it started :)

The best part of working at Sears was 92 was in the Sears Tower, and somehow noob me got a window office on the 46th floor overlooking Lake Michigan. On a clear day I could see the MI shores on the other side. It also gave me a lifelong aversion to working for big companies - too slow, too out of date.
There is no easy way to get data out of an unconnected apple device on the bench unless it is totally unlocked. If it was totally unlocked then anyone who has the phone can get anything from it.

To do the kind of account resets being described here the device has to be online for 2FA - as soon as it gets online it gets wiped.

In addition, it can't be used as a recovery device for the account (even if fully unlocked).

After booting up from a shutdown, iphones require a pin unlock (before even enabling face id).

If the device is fully unlocked, then yes, there is a chance tech could access on device content, but that is no different then anyones access if you left the phone somewhere, so bad, but not as bad as these stories (full account invasion).
