>everyone should avoid Chinese crapware.
Well, I'll tell you how I know the policy I'm talking about is more popular than the one you're talking about: LTSes themselves, and vendors offering extended, enterprise support for old software in general and OSes in particular.

If enterprises would consistently and massively upgrade early (for example within 1 year of a new release), vendors wouldn't need to offer this super long support on such a widespread scale. There's a reason Windows Server is supported for so many years, or RHEL, or SLES, or Solaris, or whatever.
What did the malware do precisely? The definition is so broad and context-sensitive, that just saying malware doesn't really say anything. Some people would consider TPM and it's code malware, others would consider anything they don't like malware (like telemetry collection in Windows or whatever).

> well designed systems have a way of making sense so that documentation and understanding flows naturally from base abstractions

Honestly, thats the main revelation I had when going through that playlist. Basically Nix is just attribute sets (which is sort of just a JSON object). The entire thing. Nix files are just some preamble and then they return an attribute set at the end. Understanding that will get you 90% of the way there in terms of understanding the syntax and being able to cut through the "weirdness".

At that point its about understanding actual concepts like overlays, derivations, etc but its much easier now that you understand the attrset concept.

Amazing how a few meters of mirror can make out objects billions of light-years distant. Yes it's big - insofar as human-built telescopes have been - yet is so relatively minuscule per what it observes. Having gone from first flight to JWST in such a short time is staggering (Wright Bros 120 years ago - I've been alive nearly half that time); how soon will we achieve orders-of-magnitude bigger telescopes? say, multiple 100x-wider JWSTs operating from multiple LaGrange points? Think big!

I think it's a promising project, well done
I think Destin of the Smarter Every Day YT channel had an interview a couple years ago with Dr. John Mather, the senior project scientist of the JWST, where he asked something like "will you be nervous during the launch and deployments", and Dr. Mather replied " I don't get anxious about stuff I can't deal with", and that they've tested everything they thought of to test.

I was super impressed with Dr. Mather, not only that he seemed so wise, but also that this super busy man took the time to do an hour long interview with a random You-Tuber. I think the JWST project is in good hands.

Edit:
I guess Destin is not a 'random' You-tuber, but someone that was well-placed to connect with Dr. Mather. Still, he's not CNN or BBC - he's a guy with a handheld camera that doesn't ask fluff question, but questions intended to help inform himself and his audience. Still think Dr. Mather thinking it was important to spend so much of his schedule with Destin was impressive.

I don't know of any calDav, cardDav servers written in Go, but i have heard of the following popular servers:

* https://radicale.org - written in python.

* https://sabre.io/baikal/ - written in php...which i see that you are not so crazy about...but i note it only because it is quite solid reputation.

I'm curious why would you want a calDav, cardDav server written in Go? Is it for scalability? Or, ease of deployment? I am not judging your preference at all; i'm genuinely curious? Also, separately, i first learned of cyrus imap from a blogpost that FastMail folks posted, but do not much about it (other than it is highly respected as a platform for mail, calendar, contacts)...Is it built in Go?
That said, if you want to look smart about wine without spending a ton of money, the best choice is something from a region relatively few people have heard of, and therefore inexpensive, that nonetheless produces brilliant wine.

How is this possible in the Internet age? I mean, I've always liked Dolcetto d'Alba (I know, Piemonte is a well known region, but not for this wine), but in the 10s, there were a few popular articles talking about how it's such a great pizza & pasta wine, and all of a sudden, bottles were more expensive...

Yep, came here to say the same thing.

There's already a lot of open source work going on around CSL, which I think originally comes out of Zotero.

While CSL comes from Javascript world, there already is a complete ruby implementation, providing ability to format a cituation into any citation style in the CSL style repository. https://github.com/inukshuk/csl-ruby https://github.com/inukshuk/citeproc

Even if github or other open source authors weren't happy with that implementation (whether for legitimate reasons or "not invented here"), it would still have been nice to do something around the basic CSL standards in some way, instead of inventing a new similar standard in ".cff".
The difference?!?

I don't support the CCP, but have you heard of the Opium Wars? Literal drug smuggling wars waged by outside countries? Countries literally forcing drugs down Chinese throats...

What they're doing is ugly but it pales in comparison to abuses they've suffered. The only redeeming factor is that those abuses happened a long time ago and China should definitely know better than eye for an eye.

IP is a government-granted privilege, that is why the word "royalties" is derived from the word "royal". In Great Britain of the 18th century, where the concept began, the one who guaranteed your IP rights was the Sovereign and his/her courts. There isn't anything like IP in the Common Law or other traditional legal systems, while ownership of physical property dates at least until Antiquity. Two very different concepts.

I am not against IP as such, but violation of a legally guaranteed monopoly, even though it causes some loss of capturable value, isn't the same as theft/larceny.

Words have meanings and we should respect them. Piracy is legally similar to a non-organized blacksmith setting up shop in a city where every blacksmith must be member of a certain guild to work. This kind of monopoly was routinely granted before by either the Sovereign or particular cities.

> She didn't say "unpopular". She said those that go against the official narrative, regardless of popularity.

Yes, she said that because it sounds more sympathetic than “I am owed an audience” or admitting that many of the people who saw their reach reduced were in fact trafficking in mistruths. The message that this is the “establishment” suppressing the truth is a very powerful one which inspires a strong emotional reaction from many of us, but it's also far too simplistic — for example, she scare-quotes “fake news” to dismiss it without acknowledging that there was in fact a ton of provably untrue material heavily promoted by the major social networks during the 2016 election cycle to the point where many poll respondents would express belief in falsehoods. Valuing free speech doesn't mean we should pretend that there aren't problems with real impacts.
>I'm not saying that I don't buy anything made in China, almost everything is made in China, but everyone should avoid Chinese crapware.

If you spend just a small bit of effort, you can look for items not made in China. They are usually higher quality. Japanese companies (and increasingly large American ones) are moving / have moved their production elsewhere due to an increasingly hostile business environment in China.

Sony makes their phones in Thailand, speakers/headsets in Malaysia.
Panasonic produces a lot of consumer electronics in Malaysia.
Samsung makes some of their phones in Vietnam, and the high-end ones in Korea. Their fridges are also made in Thailand/Korea.
Google makes their Nest line of products in Thailand/Vietnam now.
Some Netgear Arlo products are made in Indonesia, (some?) Netgear switches are made in Thailand.

On the enterprise side, Cisco has moved production of a lot of lines to Thailand for example.

This trend is only going to accelerate after the SARS-COV-2 pandemic subsides.

As a result I unintentionally caused the very problem I was trying to prevent.

I have seen books from the 1920s that recommended chemicals you could add to your water to prevent the water from eroding the lead. Water is a great solvent for almost anything, and so if you are not careful water will pick up whatever is in the pipes.

I'm not going to look up those chemicals - I doubt that they would pass modern safety standards. If you maintain a water supply that has lead anywhere you should figure out what modern chemicals to use to prevent lead (or whatever your pipes are made of) from being eroded. I hope the people who maintain water supplies already know about this though.

Yeah because that's the only possible interpretation of someone who's not fervently critical of china. Since it's "impossible" that they could be right in their advocacy for consideration of a Chinese perspective or their criticism of Western policy regarding China...the only possible alternative is that.

Well done! maybe you should be angling for prime minister of Australia the way you're going...

Better yet go for defense minister then you can make savvy smart clever and incisive comments like well "Keating is just Grand Appeaser comrade keating." Well played, Dutton! that really eviscerated all of Keating's points.
Some highlights:

> Outright performance easily exceeds everything else on the market. The new Golden Cove P-Cores offer a significant uplift in terms of instructions-per-clock (IPC) and allow Intel to regain the single-thread performance crown. Having twenty threads available in a laptop processor also gives Intel the multi-threaded performance lead.

> Intel has also been able to integrate the CPU and chipset into one package for the 12th generation H-Series processors, and that System-on-Chip provides a lot of connectivity and expansion options, as well as compatibility with four different memory choices in DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR4, and LPDDR5. There is support for four Thunderbolt 4 controllers, as well as two by four lanes of PCIe 4.0 for storage, and another eight lanes for graphics and an additional twelve lanes of PCIe 3.0. Intel now also includes Iris Xe-LP graphics in their H-Series, with the full 96 Execution Units on tap with the Core i9-12900HK.

Destin's channel is one of the older, best-known channels in the YT's educational sphere. Recently, the US Navy even let him on a multi-day tour of a nuclear submarine and tape classified information (later redacted). He himself worked in the military.

>Often enough there is just no reason at all for the fence

The article makes the point that people do not build fences for no reason. It costs time, effort and resources, not to mention it's a lot of work and people are lazy. There's always a reason for the fence.

>or the reason is completely lost.

This may be true. A fence in the middle of a wood may have been put there 90 years ago because of old property demarcations, or an effort to keep the dread bearded grindlesnatch from attacking the village. The property is now owned by one person, and climate change killed the bearded grindlesnatch, so the fence isn't needed anymore. But the point is to find out why it was there before you tear it down, and if you can't find the reason, you should be extra careful about yanking it down. Perhaps now the fence harbors a mini ecosystem of berry bushes that has increased the potential environment for wild game.

Progressives tend to be very dismissive of the Chesterton's Fence analogy, because they think change is an unalloyed good. There are a lot of social mores or codes that seem unnecessary, outdated or even bad, but they don't want to look at the reasoning behind them. Second order effects are easy to dismiss as speculation, so they usually are dismissed; but any change, radical or otherwise, will have second order effects, so careful thought must go into them.
