> As an example, my SO and I can both play a multiplayer game from the same computer this way. I can use a VM with lookingglass on my Linux host while she uses a monitor connected to the GPU her VM has attached, along with a passed-through hub with mouse and keyboard.

You could also run regular multi-seat Linux with such a setup.

It should also be possible to do it without multiple GPUs, but that's unfortunately more involved (if anyone has a simple way to do this in wayland land, I'm all ears!).

This was unique to PayPal in the previous decade since we were one of the few(only) tech platforms dealing with money then. Kinda fun to see other monetized tech platforms failing in spectacular ways. :)
$40/hour? That seems super low, unless all the emails were processed by mid-level admins. If a web admin, engineer, etc processed it, you probably need to double that. If it went to counsel, the value could be tripled or more.
I've never gotten a negative reaction. But I do tend to cut the conversation off quickly by saying, "I write software for small government entities - do you really want to know about the details of the bureaucracy of small government?" Almost everyone just says, "No", and we move on.
Instead of regulation, I'd like to see the government offer a free service. A digital commons. In this case the public library version of Tinder, with strict rules of who can be banned and where everyone is treated equally.
Congrats on the switch to Haskell. I see a similar path when I'm finally tired of big production web apps. I want to work on some wonky functional system at some point.

Curious what sort of work you do!
> The details of these things is incredibly important and can't be solved by some sort of generic market vs government debate.

> most of our regulations are poorly designed and have been captured by corporate interests

Isn't the second comment a generic statement? Do you have specific data? I agree that the details are incredibly important.
Sounds pretty cool! TBH, I don't understand how the "modern" app security models are not deemed to be fundamentally insecure in 2021 where any random app on any random system can simply leak your whole photo library to their servers, or delete all your files. Why do banking apps need full access to my filesystem? Why don't the reviewers of the app stores prohibit such practices of excessive permissions?

Yes, there's always a question of usability, but if you're an advanced user, it's still scary that you're not afforded any control to prevent these incidents unless you go ahead and redesign the whole way all these apps are working all by yourself.

It seems terribly inefficient if every engineer has to do it on their own, and in their own incompatible way. Obviously most people simply give up after a while, since maintaining such a setup might itself be a whole full-time job.
I'd say mostly because we don't have transnational law that has teeth. Most nations have laws prohibiting murder, yet if one nation does it to another nation, somehow it's not illegal.

I think many of us may fear a transnational government, yet we have transnational organized crime, transnational companies, transnational communication networks, etc. at some point, I hope we also get more transnational governance to balance some of those other entities.
When we were doing our virtual learning – we totally stalked what they were doing on Google, when they weren’t doing school work. One of them was googling ‘Trans Day of Visibility.’ And we’re like, ‘Check.’ We’re going to invite that kid when we get back on campus. Whenever they follow the Google Doodle links or whatever, right, we make note of those kids and the things that they bring up with each other in chats or email or whatever,”

Are the kids or their parents aware that their searches, e-mails, and chats are being monitored this way? And how exactly does this surveillance work? Are their teachers the only ones that get this data, or is there a private company the schools are partnered with that also hoovers up everything?

This gross violation of privacy is the bigger story, in my opinion.
Doesn’t the government already do that all the time? Copyright, trademarks, spectrum auctions, right of ways, public run utilities, private government projects bid out to single entities, eminent domain, licensing etc etc are all tools the government uses to mess with the market. It is not free and hasn’t been for awhile and I’m not sure any of it has to do with what’s best for the people.

Isn't this how we just end up in the same situation we have with ISPs? It doesn't matter that we have Comcast, Cox, and Charter if any given area only has one of them.
What is the unifying goal of the community you live in?

We don't have one in mine, the US. We have anarchists and right-wing stochastic terrorists and suburban dwellers engaged in the rat race and college professors seeking tenure and veterans working to find good healthcare and teachers paying way too much out of pocket for their classroom supplies and business owners often cheating to milk PPP loans or other shady revenue streams and public work officials making side deals and.....

If the bottom line is GDP, let me introduce you to GNP, and both of which miss cottage industry generally.

We don't have a shared mission, because society does not have a tangible owner.
Slack is a bad example here because you can't really use different accounts at a time (at least on web). It just provides a relatively easy link to switch between them. Maybe app/mobile are better?

But yes, I think OP is asking to be logged into two accounts and see the rooms/contacts/notification from both in the same application. This is not currently supported in Element and I don't think it is on the near roadmap. But some other clients do have multi-account support.
I think I've seen videos saying they somehow overengineered the hardware too, and without libs (as you mention) people struggled to make use of the many processors and couldn't reach goals.
Duo repo seems to be the sweet spot for me.

I didn't take it as fighting, so I'm not sure what the hostility is about. I was making clear that by highlighting men's experiences I am in no way invalidating women's experiences. That and putting some emphasis on the fact that shitty systems result in shitty TOS.

This is an unnecessary and unfortunate remark.
I'm pretty sure this will provide the desired semantics, though I am away from a usable postgres and not bothering to test it.

More reason for me to distrust public school systems. Big red flag in an educator if they're trying to "get to the kids" early about anything other than what the agreed upon curriculum is.
I don't see how this relates at all.
Maybe that's for the better... my code from when I was 15 years old haunts my GitHub, and that's not even my first GitHub account.
With the PS2 Sony were already some way down the road that led to the PS3 and Cell and all that complexity, what with the various vector units in the Emotion Engine CPU and slightly odd graphics pipeline. So its not surprising its somewhat hard to emulate, although as other post points out it should work nowadays.

The Dreamcast is somewhat simpler, a fairly straightforward CPU and an "off the shelf"[1] PowerVR chip that isn't as weird (though the tile based rendering stuff is I guess?). Cue emulator authors pointing out all the weird annoying bits of the Dreamcast I've missed.

[1] In itself an interesting choice for the late '90s, when consoles still nearly always had bespoke graphics, instead of just variants of PC GPUs.

How is the POSIX non compliance a major problem? Does it have practical impacts when writing scripts that are not meant to be portable to other systems/shells?
It is astounding to me that a state as paranoid as Israel has leaned so hard into the far-right that they would actively sell some of that highly sensitive tech to other states that not that long ago had a death wish for Israel as a main position of said state.

A state born of hard-edged refugees escaping a world that had recently written them off to die, carried through several existential wars, and now they are EMPOWERING that same evil.

Also, please please do not trot out the "NSO isn't Mossad/IDF" nonsense. I wouldn't be surprised if all of this was a façade to penetrate the infrastructure of states that Israel wanted to monitor.

There has never been a more competent, sophisticated, and dedicated group than that of Israeli intelligence. To imagine that they would allow all this as an oversight without some state benefit is not something my brain can comprehend.
Okay, how about instead of coming into effect immediately after reaching some market share level, it comes into effect 1 year after you first reach that level?
I don't think "coding" is an analogy. It's pretty clear that DNA is a kind of code. It's also fairly obviously Turing complete. It's rather more than Turing complete in fact. It encodes for life, after all!

I think it does make sense to deal with DNA from an information science perspective. It might not be sufficient, there might be higher levels of emergence to be taken into account.

But I think that without having a bit of an understanding of information science, it's really really hard to understand anything about how DNA works at all.

That said, the article actually seems to be pretty good starting point for programmers who want to get an initial intro to molecular genetics, and the author doesn't take themself TOO seriously.

Opensource Linux-vserver https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux-VServer was available in 2001. At the same era commercial Virtuozzo was ubiquitous amount hosting providers.
True, although they are mostly a cohesive operation sharing expertise and technology. For example the Porsche Taycan and Audi E-Tron GT are built on the same platform and are almost the same car. It’s main development was lead by Porsche but it’s technology will be used by the whole group.

This may be being developed within the Porsche cars group but the plan is bigger than that. It’s just the PR that’s focused at the Porsche use case right now.
I've explicitly asked for strong barriers from external leads and developers from my manager before and gotten them. My current boss aggressively puts barriers in place to keep us from being bothered or distracted.
I ended up moving on for personal and geographic reasons, nothing to do with the tech. The tech is all there for short-haul flights with batteries as the only limiting factor for range and speed.

There are various paths to economic viability for an eVTOL aircraft but I don't see how Lilium's current prototype fits into any of them. Unlike an ultralight design, it will require a certified pilot to chauffer passengers around until the day when full automation moves into the aviation space. Other than selling as an extravagant toy, this limits it to air taxi service. The design is complex so will be very expensive to buy and to maintain, so I don't see it as an improvement over existing helicopters beyond the 'green' energy source and claimed lower noise.

I am familiar with the Moller SkyCar. Lots of promises were made and broken, and lots of money burned on that project. Many modern eVTOL concepts suffer from the same basic design flaw: forward flight hanging from small propellers is inefficient. If you care about range, you need the lift of a large airfoil. Moller also had stability issues, but the responsiveness of electric propulsion and the advances in IMUs have solved this problem.

I think you can have a viable eVTOL product without a hot-swappable battery in the same way that electric cars have shown.
Use a tool like ‘repo‘ to manage multiple repositories as a single unit. This gives the best of both worlds.

Slight side note, I am surprised how Mixergy/Andrew has almost zero social media presence. There are no social icons on their site and there is no engagement with fans on Twitter (or anywhere else?).

I wonder why this is.
My take was actually the opposite. I can't see this changing anything.

Since this thing won't be able to take off from my driveway or land at my destination, I figure it will still take 2 hours to go door to door. Once you arrive, you'll still need your own transportation too.

Unless this is somehow cheaper and more comfortable than driving, I can't imagine ever using something like this.
If you want to add another level of complexity, add (non-overlapping) labels to your boxes and arrows ...
In a well-functioning system (of which there are very few in this world), it's possible to use these tools responsibly.

For example, you could secure access and get insight into a terrorist ring using encrypted messengers, once the necessary paperwork has been done, reviewed and approved by an independent judge. Phone taps and internet taps worked great until everything became encrypted. Hard drives that cannot be accessed, conversations that cannot be monitored, you name it; the governments of the world have a difficult decision to make after about 120 years of easy access to criminal's conspiracies.

I'm not sure if there's any system of government in the world I'd currently trust with this power, but it's not inherently impossible to use these tools ethically. At the end of the day, governments are desperate for a solution for the encrypted nature of modern data and communications and don't think that there are any other solutions than either allowing the police to hack or banning/restricting encryption. I'm not sure which option I prefer, but I believe (fear) either will become the accepted norm within our lifetimes.
Alright, keep that goal post moving then. In the meantime, I'll go with the best we got.
Countries conducting espionage is a well established and has been done for centuries. At the same time, the CIA doesn't get court orders when they want to listen in on FSB agents, nor vice versa. I don't see why Uganda should be held to different standards or why partnering with an Israeli company instead of developing the tools themselves should matter here.
Not yet. Hopefully one for 2022!
It's not an AWS incentive thing really, it's a developer/consumer incentive thing.

It's like the duality of modular code. If you want to manage one change in a lot of places, it's easiest to change it in the one module that everything else sources. But that means that one change to that module can take down everything. The alternative where you copy+paste the same change everywhere is the most resilient to failure, but also the most difficult and expensive.

AWS provides a lot of modular, dynamic things because that's what their customers want to use. But using each of those things increases the probability of failure. It's up to the customer to decide how they want to design their system using the components available.... and the customers always chose the easy path rather than the resilient path.

The great thing is that with AWS, at least you have the option to design a super freaking reliable system. But ultimately there's no way to make it easy, short of a sort of "Heroku for super reliable systems". (I know there are a few, but I don't know anything about them)
Depends on the industry. For general purpose computing it’s generally not an issue but it does matter for some specific workflows.

I tend to look at it the other way though: given containerisation is so easy these days, what are the compelling reasons to run virtual machines.

Neither is a wrong answer though.
I suspect Meyer's work is in part preparatory to lawfare in order to force websites to pay for lawyerly services. The letter is akin to a fire insurance company knocking on doors while carrying a torch.

Advanced technology was once held mainly in the hands of governments.
In recent years, corps and mega-corps are getting far more advanced technology than the government has.
For governments, this means loss of power.
So governments around the world use whatever means they have to prevent such technologies to prolifirate.
US govm't tried to stop the export of strong encryption. The it shutdown Facebooks crypto-currency - to prevent FB to have its own global-dollar.
That's why the US just waited for the right time to end the party where dollars could buy you cyber abilities only reserved to the NSA and CIA.

It's not about civil rights, it's ont about money laundring, its just about the US trying to keep ahead of everyone else.
It would really encourage people not looking for marriage to use the app for dating, since their use would be free. It would, of course, also result in the site taking steps to eliminate them, maybe even tolerating false positives. In the end would it produce good results? Dunno.

(Also would add legal complications most dating sites, regardless of model, don't deal with because of the Statute of Frauds in relation to contracts in consideration of marriage.)
A graph and tables are similar perspectives but different in a number of really important ways. Tables generally lend themselves best to analysis of homogeneous data within a small number of tables for example, while graph databases make it easy to perform deep queries across many different schemas while still keeping the resultant objects separate.
> - Our well-known cloud hosting provider's networks would occasionally (a few times a year) disconnect all long-lived TCP sockets in an availability zone in unison. That is, an incident that had no SLA promise would cause a large swath of our customers to reconnect all at once.

I’m kind of surprised that it was that infrequent. I would expect software upgrades should cause long-lived sockets to reset…
> I think the free market will take care of this on its own.

How, if there is no competition?
China has everything to lose to cut itself from the global market. They are not going to do this unless US forces them to do so. The cold war mindset is pretty much one sided. What China needs is time and that is what US elites won't lend to it.
Well not granting monopolies is a start, but governments grant monopolies all the time in the form of patents, copyright and trademarks.

Proving a monopoly exists or are forming could be another way to do so, but so far they have recently made lackluster arguments in Courts of Law on that front.

If you then prove a monopoly, can you also then prove that it’s activities are harmful to the people in the marketplace by denying them choices they would otherwise have? Maybe, but probably not very often and certainly not easily.
Yeah, there are some unique wrinkles for me. I do like Discord a lot, actually. (I used to spend a lot of time on IRC so...) Most of the things I like, the Discords tend to skew pretty young for my dating comfort, since one issue I have is women who want therapists/mothers instead of a partner.

The other is that I work in politics plus have a politically-diverse family and so I would need a partner who is comfortable being around and loving people who disagree with them politically. Many LGBT people in queer nerd spaces like Tumblr, fandom spaces, art spaces, etc. prefer to live in a political filter bubble (I'm not judging if it's for mental health reasons; I think people have the right to associate with whomever they want), and that's not compatible with my life direction or values.

Being a statistical minority within a statistical minority is exhausting sometimes. I'm super happy you and your fiancee found each other, though! I hope you have a wonderful wedding and many happy years together.

And no LGBT bars in my area. I am NOT a big city person. I gave it the good old college try. I tried multiple countries and coasts, even, but nope. I'm a small city person. I like my hometown. It's dope and the cost of living is low.
The people who refuse vaccines don't do it for a really strong principled reason, AFAICT. I think they compartmentalize vaccines and the industry that makes them completely distinct from the rest of the pharma industry. Even more than that they view the Covid vaccine differently than flu or any other vaccine - largely for political reasons.
What part do you see as bullshit? Theater tickets and premium video channels like HBO are long-standing examples of the model. There are some services that act more like purchases, with Amazon video being a big example. But it seems to me that the vast majority of video and music content today is being sold on the access model, not the purchase model.
It work just piles up then there probably won't be a time when you habe no work left. so it doesn't matter if work gets pushed down the road since it will always be there.
I believe that is when the Year of the Linux Desktop is scheduled as well.

I'm not sure how you got "backups are for old people" from my post. My point is that there are two sides to this. Perhaps the data being stored on S3 data _was_ backup data and this engineer was proposing replicating the backup data to GCP. That's probably not the highest priority for most companies. Maybe the OP was right and the other engineers were wrong. Who knows.

In my experience, the kind of person that argues about "arrogant 25 year olds that know everything" is the kind of person that only sees their side of a discussion and refuses to understand the whole context. Maybe OP was in the right, maybe they weren't. But the fact that they are focusing on age and making ad hominem attacks is a red flag in my book.
