Thanks for this, much appreciated. Always a pleasure to read essays that credibly bring to life times long gone, which in this case brings Dostoevsky to life too.

For example: "In the mid-1860s, Russia was in the throes of a true crime craze." and "Sections like “The Criminal Chronicle” became a regular feature of daily newspapers, introducing new social types like the charismatic defense attorney." and "By the end of the century, terrorism was referred to by those throughout the world—including Karl Marx—simply as “the Russian method.”

It creates a better understanding of the surviving literature, moored in the social and political context where it belongs. We can probably never escape the fact that we view everything from our own social and political context - but a good dose of historical knowledge broadens our perspective at least.
> I'd love to be able to have a "relational database" that is also some "NoSQL" databases (since there's a few major useful paradigms there) that just takes care of this for me. I imagine I'd have to declare my schemas, but I'd love it if that's all I had to do and then the DB handled keeping sync and such.

You might be interested in what we're building [0]

It synchronizes your data systems so that, for example,
you can CDC tables from your Postgres DB, transform them in interesting ways,
and then materialize the result in a view within Elastic or DynamoDB
that updates continuously and with millisecond latency.

It will even propagate your sourced SQL schemas into JSON schemas,
and from there to, say, equivalent Elastic Search schema.

I don't disagree with anything you said, but my take on their lock-in argument is they're saying that once you install RHEL, and pay for the support from Red Hat, you are stuck with it. It is very easy to stop paying for support and attach your existing RHEL servers to other repos. That's what the use case of Liberty Linux seems to be: stop paying RH, keep your existing RHEL servers, pay us instead. It really can be that easy hence my argument that there isn't lock-in. But frankly the only reason we're having this discussion is because SUSE's marketing and description for this product is way too vague and possibly misleading.
Well the pilots are dead in a lot of incidents so it's kinda moot? Airlines are sued all the time over crashes and right now Boeing is being sued over crashes from MCAS, even though there is a magic combination the pilots could have pressed to override it.

Generally, in any kind of crash investigation the pilots are one of the least important things to look at - telling people to do X or Y to mitigate some risk has a terrible track record.

for the pinephone specifically, it feels like its ignoring what does exist?

https://xnux.eu/devices/pine64-pinephone.html there is a strong kernel which is upstreaming its changes.

Now, as a time-strapped developer, who gets told "if you wait, the fixes will appear, or you can double/triple your effort to manually patch things, and then undo that when those patches go mainline anyhow" like, I would personally be happy leaving my distro broken for 6+ months for that stuff to settle, cause elsewise you are going to be building apps to support APIs that might change completely between patch and mainline, because there isn't an abstraction layer like ios or android.

Its a new approach, drop hardware and specs, and embrace community passion, I thought it was a bad idea at the start, but I'm now sure I'm wrong.

A Kickstarter phone beginning around the same time, custom hardware and OS, even with a budget and price 3x what pine goes with, would have probably far less progress than what exists now with pine devices
Microsoft Joins the Open Invention Network Community (2018)
That was my experience too. Pretty underwhelming, and uncomfortable.
The same strategy was pursued with Android. It was open-source, but Google set up the Open Handset Alliance with OEMs in 2007 and one of the membership stipulations were that OEMs could not create competing OSes based on forks of the open source code.

Over time, more and more functionality became linked to Google Play Services, which was not open source. The logical result of this was that OEMs simply went with the Google-approved proprietary flavour of Android.

There is a lot of remote equipment that can't be remotely powered on or reconfigured after a full shutdown.

Imagine a Y junction switch that can take switch between the power from 2 plants into a local city grid. The switch's control circuits might only having a power supply on the side of one plant. (Dumb cost saving measure, which I heard is falling out of practice.)
MATT DAMON HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME
> manually set prices at the maximum of $9,000 per megawatt hour.

$9,000 was a cap. If it wasn't for the cap, I'm sure prices would have gone up much higher under market rules. (ie: It's not like the market operators pushed prices up to that point, the operators capped it at that point.)

> (By comparison, the average hourly price in 2020 was $25.73

Commodities markets are notoriously volatile when there is mismatch between demand and supply. (There are also cases where power prices go negative, when there is more supply than demand. What's happening there is that generators are paying for the right to say online, on the premise that a shutdown is more costly. For large baseload units, this can absolutely be the case.)
Agreed, it’s false. Pizza in Italy (and in the rest of Europe, for that matter) is very little like pizza in the US.

Amusingly, however, while it’s influence on the food itself is at the very least debatable, the influence of the US on how pizza is consumed is in fact very real: the fact that Italians nowadays drink beer with their pizza is something they learned from American GIs in WWII who brought the practice over from home.

Before that time, there was no overlap between Italians who drank beer (Northerners) and Italians who ate pizza (Southerners). Thanks the American soldiers Southerners learned to drink beer and Northerners learned about pizza.

I have a patent, so I've touched the system a bit.

It doesn't make any sense. There's no way reading a patent helps anyone understand anything, because the whole thing is done by lawyers, not engineers. Even reading the patent I applied for does not explain to me, the person who came up with the idea, of how it works. (Long story, not willing to get into it.)

The whole idea needs some kind of evidence that it works. We can all imagine that maybe if there weren't patents, certain things wouldn't get invented. But that experiment happens in people's heads, and the outcome depends on how they are invested. And it's not easy to come up with reasonable evidence, there would be a lot of confounding issues, such as whether patents themselves stop certain beneficial things from happening.

From what I can see a huge amount of innovation is called off due to patent uncertainty. I have a friend who is an inventor in the medical field, and quite a lot of the ideas he comes up with are junked because he's found some patent in a database that sounds too similar. At the same time he has to pay a tax to the lawyers on a bunch of low probability inventions.

It should just be a free-for-all. You see someone with a better mousetrap, you make a better mousetrap. You compete on actually bringing it to market, which is not the same thing as whatever you think the innovation is. Surely that creates the most value for society, or at least should be the default until the quite high hurdle of evidence for patents is cleared.

Won't that mean nobody thinks about better mousetraps? No, people will just think of better mousetrap production-and-marketing ideas compatible with this legal environment instead of what we have now.
Exchanged are the weakest link in crypto. If anything can kill crypto, it will be due to the exchangers, from hacking to over regulation, etc.

> 2FA tokens for all users worldwide were subsequently revoked to ensure the new infrastructure was in effect. We have mandatory 2FA policies on both the frontend and backend to protect users during this revocation phase, as outflows such as withdrawals have a requirement to setup and use 2FA in order to withdraw.

How is this supposed to work? They revoked all of their 2FA for all accounts? Doesn't this just open them up to credential stuffing attacks? This is a really, really odd response to me. I can understand migrating to a new 2FA system, but they'd have to re-establish the chain-of-trust somehow. Are they just hoping that users don't have compromised email/SMS accounts in order to enable the new 2FA system?

Windows is likely a big task for the same reasons as SMAP (https://github.com/microsoft/MSRC-Security-Research/blob/mas...). XNU should be comparable to FreeBSD, which CheriBSD is a fork of, as both use Mach's VM for memory management and have a bunch of shared code in various places, but userspace is more of an unknown quite how much effort it'd be (you'll need to port Objective-C and, now, Swift, for example). For Chromium we have ported WebKit, so I'd imagine Blink isn't too dissimilar. V8 is likely interesting, though we have a version of WebKit's JSC JIT for Morello, which gives confidence in V8 being doable.

> but I wonder if USPTO could set up some rules whereby the person asking for a patent has to do some sort of search for prior art, in order to get the patent

Disclosing prior art, and how your patent builds on and is different from it, is part of the patent application process.

> and if they don't or do it badly/ not to the rules, then a penalty is applied

That penalty is the patent is completely invalidated.
The whole point of addressing alert fatigue is preventing such misunderstandings from happening. I understand that it could have been a mistake, in which case the thing to address would be to not wake anyone up in this scenario next time.

I'm wondering if it's a badly-worded way of saying "anyone in the system gets kicked out and has to re-2FA".

If they literally removed 2FA from everyone, that's insane.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was referring to the Template Haskell part of that refinement types library, where the construction of values can indeed be statically checked at compile time.

> > Pre/post conditions are complementary to a type system.

> Do you disagree or agree with this statement? Because you never addressed it either.

I agree with it. I write web applications in Haskell for a living, and the very nature of web applications is that most values coming into the system are not known until runtime. It is not a reasonable design goal to want every possible value in the system to be verified at compile time. However, it is valuable to be able to statically verify the relationships between functions and values as those values — once they have been parsed at runtime into a more principled type — move through the system.

When running on Kubernetes or Lambda, you are still directly interfacing with the Linux kernel, unless you’re under something like gVisor. I also don’t think the endgame of “cloud” is that literally nobody knows how to run servers; in fact, Kubernetes is one of those technologies that makes bare metal much more appealing. I think cloud has outsized appeal for now simply because things are moving so quickly that it’s difficult to keep up, and I feel like that is probably not forever.

Even just for Kubernetes administration, it’s probably good to keep tabs on Linux, especially technologies like cgroups, even if your nodes are managed.
It does, there's just usually someone braver out there.
I have mentioned a few times in the Pine64 community that they should really focus more on their compute modules. It means they can mass manufacture a single board that can be well tested, reducing overall risk and offering an upgrade path for their hardware. They can then fit their product lines with an appropriate module, even if this ends up being at the slight cost of size.

Another thing that kind of bugs me is that they currently have some "star devs" they send all of the new hardware too, but they are very over worked and split between many projects. Even they don't really get a heads up regarding what is in the pipeline. I believe if you want devs to be involved, you should somewhat consult them in the process.

> Many of the distros targetting Linux for mobile devices have people working on the important focus areas, but as a matter of necessity: to accomplish their goals when no one else is working on these problems, they had to become experts and divide their limited volunteer time between distro maintenance and software development.

Not sure if it's distro maintainers that become software devs, or the other way around.

Don't do this... please don't do this. Just set all your taps (internal and external) to drip slowly. That's all you need to do. Shutting off the main could actually make it worse because it creates an area without expansion.

> So what would I do to "winterize"?

Consider putting in more insulation in your attic, R30 should do it. It will help with energy bills in the summer too. Fixing walls is nice but not worth it unless you're doing a whole house reno.

Also next time you get your AC replaced, consider swapping it for a unit that also functions as a heat pump. Get one rated to 5-10F, that means it will be within rated efficiency range until that point. It will still function and operate below that but will be more like the electric heat you have now below that. But still generally more efficient overall. That reduces load, less load overall means less chance of things going out. It may seem small but those two things can have an effect.
I agree. when they added those things I immediately turned them off and never looked back. the author argues that they are just a couple lines..but they are a couple lines of useless noise
