Assuming people agree on things like that is part of the problem. Different groups of people often have wildly different ideas about what the problems their countries are currently facing are, and if you make assumptions and statements that seem to align with one set of views more than another all you're doing is limiting your audience and pre-seeding a group that will discount your argument.

The way around this is the same as it's ever been (even if people seem somewhat more resistant to it). Make well reasoned arguments backed by publicly available evidence, and reference that evidence so people can verify it.

This is the bar. Not hitting it because of assumptions you're making which the bar is specifically meant to guard against is a shame. We should encourage people to do better, not excuse them when they fail.
Yeah, this article seems like a pining for ye olden days of the industrial revolution rather than a substantive assessment of current innovation. I agree with some of the opinions stated, but holistically I don't buy what the article is selling.
There are window managers like i3 on MacOS, it's just rather slow from what I've heard. Plus, I've never been a fan of the bloat MacOS introduces to my workflow in the first place, so I mostly avoid it if it's not necessary. Your mileage may vary though.

there is a point when you are acting like something and having similar influence.

example 1 gypsy cabs, call themselves rideshares, paidpool, delivery etc.
they are quacking like a cab, waddling like a cab thus they are a cab, and must play by the rules.

example 2 FAANG s call themseves services, or subscriptions, but are behaving in the manner of a government, in particular the number of people they effect with policies and actions.

Around here governments are elected, must contend with the will of the people they are trusted to facilitate, and have clearly defined rules.

Even Swift is only nominally open source. Apple maintains private forks of all the projects in the Swift umbrella, and the releases for iOS/macOS development come from those, not the public source.
This is frustrating.

One of my wife's favorite apps, Instagram's Boomerang, has been broken on Android 12 since release. No sign of fixing it. The app store has been flooded with 1 and 2 star reviews as a result. I went digging for an alternative. It's just playing a 5 second loop forwards and backwards, so it can't be hard to re-implement, right? Someone's gotta have an alternative.

You have now entered the Clone Wars. Dozens of imitation apps that claim to do the same, with similar names, touting similar features. Except they are riddled with ads and often don't even do what's advertised without some big watermark or outright paying for it. I'd love to find the one that's ad-free and just does what it should but I'm wading through what looks like aisles of a dollar store. The curation has gone to hell and this isn't helping. We need better ways of sorting and filtering on the app store.
Thanks for that, I wasn't familiar with hexagonal architecture.

I think there's a fundamental concept here about dealing with IO in a pure functional programming (FP). For me, stuff like monads make reasoning about IO in FP languages like Haskell really difficult.

But I haven't really encountered that difficulty with ClojureScript. It pauses and resumes endlessly alongside Javascript, and uses that stop-the-world mechanism to provide and accept data for IO without using monads. So we can write all of the pure functional ClojureScript we want, blissfully unaware that monads even exist. Whereas, other FP languages seem to think of IO as this thing that happens while your program is running, and get lost in the weeds.

Where this is important is for static analysis. Without mutability, we can take the whole syntax tree and turn it into intermediate code (I-code) and transform that tree in all kinds of fun ways with concepts from Lisp. But once we have a mutable variable, that entry/exit point of the logic has to be carried along like an imaginary number, which creates forks in the road that are more difficult to analyze because every fork doubles the analysis required, which eventually leads to an explosion of complexity that limits how far we can optimize or even understand imperative programming (IP) languages.

Now imagine an IP language like C, with its myriad of mutable variables on almost every line. If we transpiled that to an FP language, we'd see countless entry/exit points around pure functional code, with intractable complexity around the mutable state stored in the variables. To the point that it can't really be statically analyzed. Then we get excited about fractional improvements in performance, without realizing that we missed out on orders of magnitude higher gains with parallelization and other transformations that could have happened.

To me, once programmers see this, they can't really unsee it. Our whole world is built on imperative code that we just don't understand. And I am starting to feel that this mutable/monadic/async behavior (whatever we want to call it) is an anti-pattern. We should be trying to get to programming that works more like a spreadsheet, where we can play with the inputs and see the results of the logic in real time without side effects.

I appreciate that the demand for a way round currency controls is a big driver for cryptocurrency, but I'm still not clear how that sustainably functions.
From a resource perspective this makes sense but from a security perspective this drives me a little bit crazy. Sidecars aren't just for managing traffic, they're also a good way to automate managing the security context of the pod itself.

The current security model in Istio delivers a pod specific SPIFFE cert to only that pod and pod identity is conveyed via that certificate.

That feels like a whole bunch of eggs in 1 basket.
Because Coinbase can basically block you anytime. For example they updated their kyc and you need to proved them documents and so on until you can do anything with your assets. This stuff happens very often, especially in crypto.

Also you have the risk that they might get hacked (although coinbase seems to be very secure).

I wasn't missing it - that part is implied by the meat of the bit I quoted.

The point is to keep in mind that just because people are laughing doesn't mean you're a genius, but people do also mock people doing great things.

Elon Musk is another easy example, look at the HN dismissal of Tesla and SpaceX over the years - even in the face of obvious massive success. You basically have to dismiss the naysayers and evaluate things for yourself.
I understand how BPF works for transparently steering TCP connections. But the article mentions gRPC - which means HTTP2. How can the BPF module be a replacement for a proxy here. My understanding is it would need to understand http2 framing and having buffers - which all sound like capabilities that require more than BPF?

Are they implementing a http2 capable proxy in native kernel C code and making APIs to that accessible via bpf?

That's subjective and I disagree. There are near unlimited temptations already, adding another one does nothing. The onus is on the individual.

Synapticure (YC S20) Is Hiring an Engineering Manager for ALS Telehealth
We are searching for an engineering manager to build the team here at Synapticure. If neurodegenerative diseases like ALS are something you would be passionate to work on, we'd love to chat.

Our current product is a telemedicine care platform for ALS patients that ensures every patient gets the care they need along with full molecular testing (e.g., genetics). Once validated in ALS, we will expand to other neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., FTD, Parkinson's, Huntington's). This care platform provides a missing and critical dataset that will improve (1) how neurodegenerative diseases are diagnosed and treated and (2) the R&D critical to finding disease altering therapeutics for the category in years, not decades. Because we have unique access within this disease category, we are already one of the largest care providers in ALS, are fully funded, with public announcements pending in Q1.

Your responsibility as our first full-time in-house developer would be to expand all of our product lines, including a custom-built Patient Application, an off-the-shelf EHR/Care Management platform and a proprietary clinical trials matching product. You would also help hire a team of about 3-5 engineers by the end of 2022.

Although small, the team of employees (11 full time employees at present) and advisors that you will work with on a day-to-day basis are great. They are all very smart, highly credentialed in the healthcare world, compassionate, and driven to help make patients lives better.

- Extreme Ownership - Jocko Willink and Leif Babin: a different take on leadership than I've read previously, once you get through the first couple bits on "we're SEALs and badass" sort of stuff there's some amazingly good leadership qualities on display.

Those programs should be stopped entirely whether or not they comply butni also argue that these uncooperative departments should have all federal aid cut off until they comply. Maybe go as far as to cut off any federal funding to that municipality (no idea how much federal money these places get) in order to get them to start doing something about their terrible policing practices.

Nicotine is a potent cognitive enhancer.
No, you are wrong. C++ is one example. I've been using that language now for about 20 years and I still don't use all of its features. It is possible to write code in that language that you assume will work a certain way but then in practice it does a lot of things you didn't think you signed up for. Recently I started using STL more, after having stayed away from it for most of my career, and the performance of my application went out the window, and I had to override all memory allocation related functions to fully understand where the problem was coming from. It's easy to use the STL and make assumptions about performance, then find out later you get a lot of issues that come with it that you never signed up for. And that is why I don't want rust in the kernel. If a language does a lot of stuff for you, there will be a price to pay.

I'm not saying it's a clear cut thing, and reasonable people can disagree about the reasonableness of an individual FOIA request in the gray areas.

"It is what it says on the tin"
All of my neighbors, and everyone in my friends group, and most of the people I interact with on a daily basis either served in the military or were civilian employees and contractors of the DoD during the most recent war or a prior war. That is part of why I feel so strongly on this issue. I did not serve, although I attempted to enlist I was denied for medical reasons during MEPS. Possibly out of some form of survivors guilt for seeing how horrible the impact of war has been on my friends and people in my community, I consider it the only responsible thing to do to continue speaking out about the reality of our military-industrial complex.

A lot of the corruption in the US government surrounds defense and industry, and it is simply the truth that we treat veterans horribly, many people in the military joined because they came from underprivileged backgrounds and needed a way out, and we send them into horrifying situations and simply discard them when they get home. The GI Bill does not in any way soothe or absolve this nation of the way it treats its veterans or our ceaseless desire for war in the first place.

>Preclinical models and human studies have demonstrated that nicotine has cognitive-enhancing effects. Attention, working memory, fine motor skills and episodic memory functions are particularly sensitive to nicotine’s effects. Recent studies have demonstrated that the α4, β2, and α7 subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) participate in the cognitive-enhancing effects of nicotine. Imaging studies have been instrumental in identifying brain regions where nicotine is active, and research on the dynamics of large-scale networks after activation by, or withdrawal from, nicotine hold promise for improved understanding of the complex actions of nicotine on human cognition.

Not that I advocate for smoking, or that I think it needs to be justified with some kind of 'benefit' to not be outlawed, but one could argue it does have demonstrable cognitive effects that some find desirable. Even if it didn't, some people just find it enjoyable and don't give a shit about the health effects. Given these facts we could replace the word 'cigarettes' in your post with 'coffee' and it'd make just as much sense, but that's a drug you (probably) find enjoyable personally so we won't be seeing any calls for criminalizing that any time soon.
There was actually a court case in Germany, where it was ruled that enabling/disabling certain functionality, on some Tesla Models (I think it included even changing some wiper settings?) was illegal while driving, as you’re not allowed to operate devices that require looking at them (e.g. touchscreens) while driving.
Work isn't liable, no. Workplace insurance is mandatory public insurance in Germany (which also insures e.g. children in school and on the way there), and the case clearly is if the insurance has to cover it, not the employer. Not sure why you think public insurance and the ideas behind it are particular Florida-like though. Or if that was to suggest that the court is being overly weird, could you explain where you think it misinterpreted the law?

I'm still new to Clubhouse as well but my understanding of the ecosystem is that it's a lot more interactive than just a "live podcast" as there's ability for more audience engagement, community interviews, and basically a two-way interaction space where the audience can participate in the "live event". It's basically a discord channel but with more structure on who has the floor and moderation tools.

I think it's definitely an interesting approach to community creation and engaging with your audience. What I'm still trying to learn and understand is where it's going, as I don't think I use it enough yet to fully see the "road to monetization, profitability, and sustainability" of the platform. I kind of wish room discovery was a bit easier beyond the network-based approach that they're using, but I'm just being nitpicky now.
