And about that portability...
While NeXT had just released their NextStep for the Intel PC, it was more precise to say that it worked on a very specific Dell PC or Canon workstation configuration. I was able to get it up and running on a home-built 486, but I needed help from some friends at NeXT to make that happen. A late-night personal plugfest was clearly not a realistic option for corporate IT or for mass-market consumers.
Whereas Windows NT 3.1 installed out of the box.

NeXT also ported to the HP PA-RISC platform, that grew out of their relationship with NeXT NetObjects (or whatever their object-based RPC architecture was called) on HP Enterprise servers. But I've never met anyone who actually ran NextStep on an HP Gecko.

I really didn’t like Dune at all either. I was so excited to read it as it was highly recommended but before I got half way through I knew I hated it. It was boring and a bit pretentious to boot. I also don’t tend to like settings that just project some past era unto a far future as I feel it’s a bit lame and uncreative. I originally planned to read all three just to be sure until I found out it ends with his son as a giant worm.

I’ll stick with the Culture series where even if it’s crazy it seems like how a truly futuristic society would govern themselves.

That said there are things I like about the setting and I applaud Herbert for trying to deconstruct the whole great man schtick.
But you can if you use the faucet to fill a bathtub.
Olive Garden’s corporate owners wont do NFT’s of these low quality images of their locations and pretend its ownership of one.

So because their wouldn't be a collision it doesn't matter that the non-owner minted these earlier.

Even if they did, to be ironic, the social proof from that official issuance, would attract all the value, ignoring these. Which has also happened before in the NFT space.
Maybe it’s one of my mental illnesses, but I really hate the way Herbert uses the word “thing.” Maybe it’s reminiscent of the time but I never saw another old scifi book use it in that way.
For the early months (or longer if you child proof the entire room), you can do just the crib mattress directly on the floor. This is also an easy way to set up a secondary nap spot somewhere else in the house (since it's safer for small infants to sleep in the same room as an adult vs. by themselves).

For those on the other side, who inherit startup code and have to fold it in ... the hatred is mutual.

Yeah, I was wondering what this might sound like to the other side, perhaps something like:

"Yeah, hi, I just got here last week, I'm here to inject innovation into your life. So your battle tested deployment pipelines that deploy all the code that pays both of our paychecks (because my stuff is pre-revenue, naturally), they don't support the idiosyncratic workflow I literally made up myself. Can you drop everything and jump on this instead?"

"I can't prove it."

I would suggest not using slurs and claim that people who think otherwise are schizophrenic then.

"But Intel has gone on record stating there is no backdoor"

It would not be much of a backdoor if they said otherwise.

"People who have reverse engineered it have not stated there is a backdoor."

I am curious about that. Got a link?

"The government can be overly paranoid."

No reason for civilians not to be as paranoid.

"People and business have reasons why they want to restrict access to the source come."

Obviously, one of them is hiding backdoors. Not saying that closed source software has to be backdoored, it just does not raise confidence.

"It would be a better alternative than someone breaking down your door"

Why not let the government have a master-key of every door then? Sounds like a solution in similar spirit.

"If access could be implemented in a secure way and it required a warrant"

Got any technical suggestion regarding its implementation? How would you make sure that a warrant would be required and that the private key would not leak?

Spectacular article, I couldn’t express more gratitude for the deep context provided around every piece.
I think the thing with Dune is that it has a really strong litmus test to it i.e. if you find the setting interesting then it's a really interesting world, whereas if you don't it can seem quite arbitrary and (I guess) odd.

I'm not sure exactly what to put my finger on but the melting pot of culture and religion explicit throughout the book, wrapped in a psychedelic haze is definitely a draw for me. It's definitely more of a below-the-neck type of experience vs. (say) a Dick novel.

Wrt to the new movie I'm just glad that Denis Villeneuve is getting funded. His sci-fi movies are some of the only big movies in and around the genre (especially if you compare (say) Dune to star wars) which seem to be actively trying to tell a story at their own pace. He's a very smart and unpretentious person too, any interview with him is a much watch for me.

Could it potentially be used to keep a distributed database of information collected by a large array of satellites orbiting something like the sun? I know I’m reaching here, and I’m pretty anti-cryptocurrency so I’m not looking for a nail really, but I just think distributed stuff is cool and the way blockchains work surely has some purpose when light lag is in play.

Like couldn’t it be used across a dyson swarm of rotating habitats or something as the transaction currency between them?

Microsoft is not a legitimate standard of comparison.

Their business model was (and to a degree still is) predicated on getting people used to everything having bugs, and not complaining or, more importantly, returning it for a refund, angrily. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, and now everything else works almost as badly.

This is super clear. Thanks for clarifying.
The US has been punching well above its weight: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

I wouldn't trust the numbers from places like India or China, however, and for different reasons.

Having known someone with COVID, and having family members with medical backgrounds, my personal judgement is that it was justified. I understand people disagree, and my assumption is that those who reply flippantly are missing parts of the bigger picture - usually over the other side of the fault line separating individual freedoms and the sacrifices required for participation in a functioning society.

I also won't say that everything has been done perfectly, far from it. The messaging has been uneven - masks / no masks as an oft-cited example. But, it's an essentially unprecedented situation, and politics ain't used to moving all that fast so, you know, move fast and break things like FB says, woo!

Even a Java based gui written using the Swing toolkit (which I believe is considered ancient tech that most have moved on from although I haven't built a gui in java in ages so don't take my word for it) would be an improvement on these electron apps just because it will prevent the cancer that is Javascript, node, npm and the entire JS ecosystem from invading the desktop. We deal with JS/Node on the frontend because we have no choice, that tech invading the server and the desktop is just sad to watch.
> My style is more akin to buying proven cash-cows at reasonable-ish valuations

if it was so proven, the current valuation would not fall far from the NPV via some sort of discount cashflow analysis. It's still possible to get a good deal, but just as difficult, as only an unexpected growth can give you the returns you want.
Well, we do have all of that computation power. The question for what do you want to use it? What kind of endeavors do we have for which we could use all of that power? The better question would be, what would the world look like today if we didn't have all of that computation power.
Our legal team has to review parts of our application to ensure we were in compliance with certain government programs such as ITAR and EAR. They don't do code level review but they do review business processes, UI's and messaging to make sure we're in compliance.

Depends on the on the exact political arrangements. I’ve seen a “low” level manager get the ear of a senior leader and get protection/empowerment that ended them to do something on par with this.

No, growing up was OS9 with lime green highlights on a lime green iMac playing Bugdom. I'd argue that it was still better than flat design, but I would have to concede that nostalgia goggles might play a role in blinding me to how garish it all was. In contrast, the "I love 10.6" crowd extends considerably beyond my cohort in both directions. It's pretty clearly a skeuomorphism thing.

One thing I'll give flat design: it's better than the Fischer Price design that happened between the era of skeuomorphism and present day. Also, it brought dark mode mainstream.

Debugger is your friend :)

Start by adding breakpoints for some key actions of the app. Then step through the flows with the debugger. First pass you can just step over functions to get the high-level idea. In subsequent passes, you can step into functions that seem important. Rinse and repeat until you understand those actions well. Then move on to other areas in the app.

This works because you can see the actual end-to-end execution flow (not always clear from reading code), inspect runtime data (impossible by reading code) and even change the runtime data (variables, DOM) to validate assumptions about how the code works.
1000%. I actually love my work and hours and pay, but am leaving strictly because of how petty and dishonest my boss is. I seriously find out all news and happenings via weird he said she said underground channels. I swear it's rage inducing watching a 60 year old "professional" behave like a 12 year old gossiper.

I don't think employers deserve to be compared to spouses.

My spouse is kind, loyal, and behaves thoughtfully and with perfect integrity towards me. Because she saw my value and it was worth everything to her.

My employer is a legal abstraction run by sociopaths who, when the rubber meets the road, time and again show no kindness, loyalty, thoughtfulness, or integrity whatsoever. Far from sharing fairly with me, like my spouse, I am sure they would happily murder me to make an extra buck. Profit maximization is the only principle to which they submit.

I stick around for the paycheck. I will leave the moment I get offered a bigger one. Because it's what I want, and it's what they deserve.

Maybe some day I will be lucky enough to work for an organization whose values and behavior in the world I respect. I will contemplate loyalty at that time and not before.
Does the wayback machine offer a JSON/REST API to check for URLs, in the sense of sending a URL and getting back a map of specific crawl datetimes that are available in the cache?

I know about the web.archive.org/https://... "hack" but it's probably draining your servers unnecessarily when there are a lot of 301 redirects that weren't archived and on top of that are only able to be validated client side after receiving the whole HTML response.

A REST API would help thirdparty clients to know about this in advance, and the API documentations I found were super unclear in whether something like this exists or not.

Context: I'm building a web browser and I'm trying to offer a feature for error cases when the server or URL isn't available anymore, so that users can see the web archived version of it.

On top of that I have no idea how to "un-UI" the web archived versions. I know that the wget user agent somehow leads to this, but it's also kind of undocumented how the webserver of IA does this in the background and when exactly the UI is injected and all the URLs are rewritten. Something like maybe a http request header to get the raw actual source would be nice.
Interesting. I use Dokuwiki but with a couple of MD extensions, so it stores and I write in MD. Works well.

For what it's worth, Ripcord[1] can do that (okay, it can open channels in separate tabs that can be moved to separate windows). And it is a native (Qt) application.
