The Azure service fully operated by Deutsche Telekom seems pretty appealing right about now, but as far as I know they cancelled that. Maybe cloud providers will move to a kind of franchise model, effectively allowing smaller European companies to license an Outposts type software.
The orange dot will appear on the live output, which is fed to an LED video wall/projector/etc. on or near a stage. Completely unacceptable, and makes Macs entirely useless for live visuals.
Why it is hard? The servers need to know the IP address, for sure, but they do not need to permanently record it. In fact, un-aggregated IP is probably not that useful for statistics either, I can be aggregated e.g. daily and then discarded.

You seem to be confusing temporarily holding information in the database (no matter whether in-memory or on persistent media) for operational purposes (be it networking or threat detection) and permanent storage of the same information way beyond the time it ceased to be useful for the purposes above.

India's equivalent of SSN is PAN, the Permanent Account number, which predates Aadhaar by decades.

DBT is also older than Aadhaar and uses IFSC + account numbers. An Aadhaar layer was added to it, wherein a new mapper from Aadhaar number to IFSC was added, but the additional indirection only creates additional opportunity for error and fraud, as the Airtel Payments Bank fraud demonstrated on a mass scale.

Jio's onboarding of 4G customers was not exclusively based on Aadhaar eKYC. They accepted any valid id, as I personally tested, but somehow Aadhaar propagandists fail to quote the break-up of IDs used.

Please, do a cross-check that you're not citing from propaganda material.
Did you read the article?

"In our particular case, this means that this orange dot appears on the stage output, which is totally unacceptable for anyone using macOS as a professional video tool that sends video output to a video projector."

Imagine an orange dot appearing on top of every video billboard in Times Square.

I think this is a problem solvable by doing practice problems.

For me with Math this is something I learned the hard way many times. In more advanced math tests you will be asked to prove something novel (to you) using skills/material from the covered subject. So it’s not enough to know the theorems, you need to understand them at a deeper level so you can apply them in new situations or use a similar practice from the theorem to prove something similar.

This is pretty straightforward for most math/physics/other stem courses since they’re usually accompanied by problem sets in their textbooks, and it’s rare to have to do absolutely all of them as HW.
100% agree this would be an interesting approach. I think this would help open a door to fund research that would voted on by the general public, and maybe even allow non-scientific regular folk to experience outer space.
That's amazing. I am an engineer myself and my problems are that I am not that creative to find problems to solve like you do. Much less the persistence that you have that keep trying and trying again. Kudos to you! I hope one day I will be able to do so.

I think the context is if you are using Mac to generate visuals that get projected on a screen during performances. I guess now you wind up with an orange dot in top right corner.

So presumably you'd see a big orange dot in the right-most screen here:

Looks unprofessional IMO if you were watching a live stream, and there was a permanent orange dot on your video. People may be screen capturing using an external output...

Would it bother you if Star Wars had an orange dot in the corner the whole time? People want to make professional videos and live streams, and not have a constant reminder that there's a Mac somewhere involved in the video... and this has hosed people's workflows.
Because when you are running video out to a 150" LED wall, that orange dot is a very large dot. And even were it not, you are not building your presentational elements around "having some orange dot on screen".

"I mean, jeez. They just left the mouse cursor in the middle of the screen, what's the big deal?"
Doesn't it depend on how many simultaneous strips you want to drive and the no. of leds, for large installations I think an FPGA probably makes more sense?
A couple thoughts after reading this. They aren't meant to be criticisms, just a reflection on my own experiences as well because I have had plenty of failures myself.

For one, failing is probable. Most small businesses fail. The chances that you get it right on your very first try is low. Sometimes it takes many failed business ventures before you learn all the lessons. A lot of the lessons can be learned from reading books though. The common and cliche things like "identify your target audience" and "researching competitors" and "see if there is an interest in the product" are mentioned in every book but still skipped by so many.

There is a lot of talk about the things being built and the technology, but almost no discussion about the marketing side which is arguably more important. I wonder how much effort was put into that aspect.

It sounds like there was not a lot of product/market research before building the thing. I'm guilty of this too, building a product nobody wanted because I didn't do homework first to see if anyone cared.

Some of the ideas sound like they had no passion behind them. For example, the affiliate site for selling dresses. Was that something that was inspiring, or simply an easy-way-to-make-money thing? I think that can have a huge effect in quitting or sticking with it.

And it also sounds like there was a lot of quitting too early because things weren't growing fast enough. The marketing aspect may have played a factor here, but from my experience...solo startups DO NOT grow fast. Having that expectation in the first place might have been the reason for such disappointment. Running a business is a long-term thing that could even span beyond your lifetime.
i do not give a shit if the developers who make houses people do not live in do not build here again. neither should the politicians. our lives will improve if they go away forever. we already have all the houses we need, we just need to stop bulldozing them and instead start handing them out.

if they actually do not want to build here, maybe they should have thought of that before building houses nobody lives in. people should live in the houses.
So it is basically, because you’re using tailwind anyway for styling, using it for layout is nice for consistency sake. I get that.

For (2) however I usually use CSS custom properties to reach for preset values, e.g. setting "column gap" to "var(--margin-inline-wide)", and "row-gap" to "var(--margin-block-short)" etc.
Lessons from 1 Year of Newsletter
Visually distracting.. a loss of control in design.. a reminder of Apple when you are displaying unrelated content.. A live show doesn’t need the visual art to have an orange dot. Im surprised you can’t see how that could matter.
> Build something people want and will pay for.

> Not just say they want.

> Not just say they'll pay for.

Thanks. From my point of view these are the most important points.

Also listen to your customers and pick the things that meet your goals of the product but avoid including features that are very likely not scalable/adaptable/useful for other customers.

It does also not hurt if you are convinced about your product and stick to it for an even longer period (years in my case). But sometimes it is necessary to jump off much earlier (months in my case) e.g. when the market is not big enough or competition is too crazy or similar.
Deployment has no doubt gotten more complex. However video length isn't a great gauge of relative complexity, or a great medium if you want to be succinct for that matter. I'm willing to bet there are articles covering the same topic which you could read in less than a third of the time.
Roel Pieper is a man with a long and interesting history, some successes but also a large number of spectacular failures, and not a few borderline (or even outright) scams.

Yeah, that will do it (I have a close friend in the same boat and understand the distaste). It's difficult, but I'd urge you to separate your views of God from that point of view.
The sheer number of original sources and secondhand sources that each need to be individually vetted clearly requires a lot more work and skill than using a well-curated package manager.

And a lot of vendors that should have been trustworthy ended up taking advantage of it by sneaking unwanted software in with the good stuff. Off the top of my head, Adobe did this. There was a glorious time in the 90s and early oughts where seemingly everything was trying so install another toolbar into IE...

There is plenty here to be critical of.
It would not bother me in someone else's house, I would just treat it as public space as always, but I would not ever have cameras installed in mine. The possibility of being watched would affect me negatively. I'm not paranoid, just need privacy to thrive.

People don't care about privacy incidents because they don't affect their lives in an obvious way. It's not a priority for them.
I'm all for shitting on apple, but does the orange dot actually obstruct anything? It seems to just be sitting in the notification bar being out of the way.
Change the question then: “who or what created the process or the laws that define the process?” I’m not providing an answer, but am wondering about your answer.
This is a tough intersection between highly-visible privacy controls and the ability for artists to use their Macs in live performance situations where any overlays could be a distraction.

In the Privacy menu in MacOS now, you can authorize applications to do things like use locations services and record the screen. I think it would be reasonable to include an authorization for audio recording and bypass the orange indicator. Or they could turn on the webcam green light when audio input is active?

Too late to comment, but I wanted to add puzzle games like Portal or The Talos Principle. The world building is stimulant, and the mechanics can be really hard on your first play. Their downside is the rapidly diminishing replay value, unless you collect achievements, which defeats the purpose of a casual game.

When I replay one of those, I do it for the story, because the puzzles are child's play when you know the solutions.
Everyone focuses on the dot and can no longer listen to the content of the presentation? /s

My honest guess is that the author of the article is SUPER mad about this out of some principle-of-the-thing about how the design shouldn't do this, and they just ran with that in writing self-righteous nonsense about how this makes presentations impossible or something.

It's about as bad as having the cursor show up on the edge of a live presentation slide.
The fact that Uber is so popular even though it is more than 10x the price of a bus shows exactly how much people want to ride buses.

> Is this about "formalizing" connectors?

Operationalizing more than formalising, although that is a variant of formalising. "Let's actually program using architectural abstraction", rather than just (variants of) procedural abstraction. Or rather than just using architectural abstraction to describe systems that we then still have to program procedurally.
This isn't good. Most of the live visuals I've seen are in a dimly lit room with a black background. Often this is so that it's hard to see the edges of the screen and the visualization appears to be floating. Having an orange dot in the corner would break the immersion for the audience. It's also going to be larger when projected, maybe a couple inches in diameter.
Not sure if this is a good introduction, but a good second paper to read is https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.06981

You can think of finite state machines as being two functions: f(input, state) = output, and g(input, state) = next_state. (Traditional FSMs have 3 ‘output’ states, basically ‘terminated - success’, ‘terminated - failure’, and ‘still working’, but in theory it makes sense to fully generalize it).

If you think about plain neural networks as approximating arbitrary functions f(input) = output, then recurrent neural networks are “continuous state machines”, where you have the same two functions f(input, state) = output, and g(input, state) = next_state, except instead of being finite symbols, they’re continuous points in N dimensional space. This, at least to me, clarifies why recurrent neural networks work on simple and short time-based problems, but can’t efficiently generalize to complex problems—they’re just FSMs!

The paper I linked above provides a similar high-level computational analogy to how transformers work.
I tried that but it seems to gloss over what an encoder, etc actually are.

I think I’d do better with pseudo code or a toy example.
Instead of dictating the solution, let’s just make the network operators liable and let them figure it out.

At least in my own experience, using vintage tech often requires collecting a bunch of ancillary equipment to get it to work, communicate, etc. Often you'll end up needing to keep multiple generations of networking equipment, monitors, peripherals, all only compatible with certain systems due to either age or brand ecosystem.

I'd start with Phoenix + Postgres, it'll handle stuff from beginning to very end. When i started with rails, time from project start to first optimization/adding caching milestone was really short.

I guess it's because VCs are are after the exponential growth that is possible with a hit B2C product but not realisticly possible with B2B. B2B can generate pretty solid incomes though. My previous employer had 15-20 clients, around 2M EUR yearly revenue, a solid 20% margin, with 30 employees. Fintech.
I sincerely doubt that my fiesta has either of those things, and it is a 2017. Yep, just as I thought it does not have ford's cellular or gps systems in it.

I also have a 2004 f-250 that will likely outlive me, and it is completely tracking free.
My interpretation from the article is that you might imagine the external display output is a video wall for a concert with a full screen visual show being synced to music or something, thus the simultaneous audio capture going on.
> Of course, "authoritarian vs libertarian" and "left vs right" are both incredibly un-nuanced gross oversimplifications.

Right, but they aren't chosen at random. These are the two axes which empirically fall out if you do principal component analysis on people's policy beliefs:

Whereas Vitalik's axes are pulled directly out of, at best, thin air.
This is spelled out very clearly in the article, more than once.
The main cost of operating a power plant is fuel, which costs you nothing if not used. Keeping a bunch of doctors (like, thousands) trained and ready to handle an emergency at any moment is a huge ongoing cost with a by definition low probability for a payout each year.

Let's do some napkin math for my area: if you started such a company in 2008 and paid your doctors minimum wage to stand by and keep themselves trained, but not actually do any work, one such doctor would've cost you around 100k € until the start of the pandemic. I remember hearing some official on the TV saying we'd need another 300 doctors to keep everything running smoothly. Let's half that. Congratulations: your company is 15 million € in debt. Let's call it 20M € because obviously you need to make yourself at least a little rich too. So that's the bill you need to give the government in order to break even: 20M € for 150 under-trained medical personnel with basically zero work experience. Not a good business model, imo
Not really that "big", but I think Scaleway doesn't have an US presence.

I'm amazed by the amount of shade I've seen lately being thrown onto SSGs and building websites with static HTML. Though, it seems to be permeating from folks that have a vested interested in having you run code on a (or their) SSR platform.

There are some interesting properties of server rendered websites and it can be the best option in some scenarios, but in others it adds complexity and burden on the end user. To suggest that static was a "fun diversion" detracts from the value and I feel we'll be going full-circle once again after we've realized that "what works" isn't always server render HTML.

GM cars have phoned home for well over a decade now. Self driving features tend to also be extra optional features that cost more.
In the UK that would be interference with goods (a tort) or taking a vehicle without the owner's consent (a criminal offense).

Still in the UK, although I suspect that holds more generally, when you buy something using a loan you own it. What you bought may be a security for the loan but that's different. Leasing a car or using a lease/purchase scheme is also different since leasing means you rent but don't own.
This is actually more of a problem than it first sounds - a lot of the time plastic is used because it's not biodegradable, doesn't rot and is not attacked by bugs - its a wonder material in many ways - its why it's replaced wood in an lot of applications.
Sounds like successful bureaucracy to me. At some point, change is difficult for a large organism. It became large by doing what it is doing and doing that well. The reality is that change is oftentimes destructive; what is so much clearly "better" to you is not clearly better to the organism. Slowing things down, getting many people to consider the new, is all purposeful and quite useful in reality.
Visual artists often use secondary monitor outputs to display media on projectors or large LED walls. Secondary outputs are also commonly used in broadcast for keyed font overlays among other things.

I come from a family of accountants. But when I first went to college I chose IT Management which included both IT and Accounting subjects. I've worked on the IT Side for about a decade.

> The other major benefit, and arguably a larger one than the first, is giving me credibility when I talk to Customers' finance and accounting people.

I also have benefited a lot from the accounting subjects I took in college have also been an advantage in my professional career as I can 'speak the language' of my workplace's financial department.

> Finally, I'd argue bookkeeping and accounting is, arguably, the oldest "information technology" discipline in humanity. So much of the discipline springs from the history of bookkeeping becoming computerized ("automatic data processing"). It's a good background to working in IT to know about where it came from.

- Definitely. The software used at my family's the accounting office was older than any other I had used. This year I helped them migrate from an MSDOS Fox Pro 2 application to a newer app.

The MS-DOS It worked well, it is even still supported by the developer (!), but the work around required to make everything work in a Win 10 environment was too much of a hassle.

It felt like doing digital archeology when opening files created between 1989 and 1994 to see how data was stored. Even this newer app still uses an older tech stack: Visual Fox Pro 9. Accounting software seems to run in an alternate timeline.

The webcam light won't work if you're using a laptop in clamshell mode, or even using a Mac Mini/Pro. I think the best middle ground for this is to allow users to grant some permission that allows the app to access the Mic without turning the orange dot on.
