I'd like to point out that just because it is expected that folks are going to try to come and try out a product (and potentially damage it) does not justify it.

OP entering a funky command is not unexpected. But then purposely antagonizing the sales rep was a d*ck move in my book. If OP had just shown the guy "Hey here's what I did and what it does" that would be perfectly fine (important distinction, OP knew more than the sales guy compared to your case). But if the sales person was legitimately panicking that's not very polite, to put it mildly.
How about international money transfer for a start? I can and have moved money internationally in minutes for less than it would cost through the SWIFT system which would take days.

This is all fine and good for me, as I live in a developed country, so I "could" just use SWIFT ,but what about remittance payments? For people who have a mobile phone, but no bank (a large number of people in the developing world), a relative in the US used to send money via Western Union, the receiver would travel to the nearest Western Union branch, of course WU would take a chunk of that money, and then you're walking around with your cash. With crypto, it gets sent to a wallet, and they can use that. This isn't some pie in the sky idea, it's happening today, but will increase as crypto gains mass adoption.
> I don't know who you are or what your motivations are.

I'm a rubbernecker passing by a car crash. I have no other motivations. I don't know you personally or anyone who works at Dgraph. I'm piecing together a guess of the culture from what's available externally.

I would love to read the details when you're ready to share.

Editing to say that the only reason I remembered the blog was because there were multiple parts of it that made me cringe when I initially read it:

> I can be a good CEO. I just can not be a good CEO, a good CTO, and the top engineer on the team for a highly technical product, all at the same time. If I could have found a true engineering replacement for me, I’d have stayed on as the CEO.

> And two, we lost a couple of deals last quarter due to engineering challenges I can help solve in weeks but would take my team months on their own. Some of these problems wouldn’t get solved without my help.

Publicly throwing your engineering team under the bus repeatedly isn't something you commonly see.
Indeed, it's been theorized by many that life actually started at the deep sea hydrothermal vents. It's rich in energy, metals, etc. Even if not started there, there was a period where nearly the entire planet was under ice, and might have acted as a reservoir.

On the scale of billions of years the earth spun more quickly, and the moon was significantly closer (and reflected more light on earth).

Seems reasonably to expect there where more volcanoes, more hydrothermal vents, more earthquakes, and more tectonic activity of all kinds earlier in the earths history. Not to mention early in earth's history the late heavy bombardment. All making potential hospitable environments even if the earth was on average cooler than ideal.

On the flip side the moon is going to keep getting further from the earth, as energy transfer via tides increases the moons velocity ... until 1 day = 1 lunar month. Thus the need for occasional leap seconds as the earth spins more slowly. Afterwards the moon will slowly decrease it's orbit because until it kits the Roche limit and turns into a ring ... unless the sun expands enough before then, which is the time scale of these changes.
I wasn't even aware how many sites mirror GitHub until Google stopped finding GitHub for me at all.

For social capital, the statement is tautological and has no meaning. Social capital is generally defined as the set of all interpersonal relationships and shared or individual ideas. This isn't a paperclip maximizer nor is it meaningful that groups of people are compelled to act in ways that follow what people in that group believe, do, and how they interact with each other; it's a tautology.

I think that the fact that this applies to capital in general and to abstract SHA256 capability in particular is much more interesting. After all, a bitcoin ASIC is not an interpersonal relationship or a goal of anyone or any group of people.
Quick web search on the model number shows this is a $125 padlock. Out of my league, but thanks.

I was out walking and saw some guy stealing a bike by breaking the U-lock with a car jack. Unfortunately I couldn't do anything about it (discreetly take pictures and call it in) because the person I was with was so oblivious. But I didn't know before how that type of theft worked.
While I think that's essential, it's not that simple: Some things require much more preparation (e.g., becoming a brain surgeon), and there is also a lot of failure, regrouping, learning, and trying again - which the four Beatles didn't do as much of as most people. Most people have many years of 'failures'.

Also, most importantly, don't expect popular acclaim - the Beatles are an extreme exception - and don't measure your 'success' that way. Especially in art, have faith in your vision and accept that the public may not grasp it now, soon, or even in your lifetime. Even many great artists recieved little acclaim (or worse) in their lifetimes.

> They did not wait for ideal conditions.

In fairness, they didn't need to wait because ideal conditions were there - in culture (esp. at time that valued innovation and creativity), in music (ditto), in recording technology, in television, in mass media generally. It's a bit harder to be the Beatles today. (Who is doing it?)

The Cultural Revolution did not upend and destroy an existing culture and whole civilizations, but neither did the other events you're describing.

A big difference between the Cultural Revolution and things like the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution is that the Cultural Revolution entrenched the existing leader of PRC, while the French and Russian Revolutions overthrew the existing leaders, which is generally considered to be one of the most important things about them. The Cultural Revolution was more akin to Stalin's purges of his opposition within the Party, the Night of the Long Knives, the Salem witch trials, the Cambodian Killing Fields (as CamperBob2 pointed out), the Terror, or the Roman Dominate, but it has important differences from each of them. For example, the Night of the Long Knives lasted three days, the Cultural Revolution lasted 10 years, and the Dominate lasted about 300 years.
Depends on what you mean by "like the Beatles." If you mean popularity, it's because there's only so much room culturally for artists to reach that level of popularity. They are essentially the mascot for Rock and Roll music and there's no changing that.
I like Twitter blocks! But you can't use a simple keyword block filter to block aggressive spammers who are careful to not use the obvious keywords. Also I'm actively engaged in discussion on Twitter about NFTs and Blockchains, so blocking those keywords does not work for me.
Ok, I'm genuinely asking here. -4 points, downvoted. WHY? I stated a fact. The response by OP was to give more data, and then I actually figured it out. So why the downvotes?

Unless it's been secured, you can probably boot using the miniroot on the installation media, go to the password file and clear the root password and save.

Restart that Indigo, and log on as root, no password.

When doing various services on these machines, I would keep a drive ready to boot miniroot. Would clear the root password, archive the hash, then do the work, put it back and on to the next gig. Most of the time nobody even knew what that password was.

Took {big company IT} quite a while to finally call and ask how those services were getting done...

I am not an expert.

My impression is that in India “Hindu” numerals and arithmetic were developed using some kind of erasable board, but among Arabic speakers (and later Europeans) the spread of Hindu numerals went along with paper as a prerequisite technology.

This looks relevant https://cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/sites.ucsc.edu/dist/f/704/file...

Here is a relevant looking book: https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300089554/paper-print

In e.g. Britain, the transition to Hindu numerals did not occur until 1600–1800, depending on the place.

There are use-cases that Podman can be used for that don’t involve Compose (yes, even with orchestration). Likewise there are a lot of features Podman and family have that Docker does not. Historically rootless is the big one; Docker sort of has that now but it’s still not daemon-less.

Right to repair is in the best interest of both consumer and nature.

Apple's design flaw defected my mother's macbook panel (flexgate). It was a 5 dollar display cabel that desintegrated after about two years and was built into the panel in a way that rendered the entire display unit unusable.

So not only did the repair shop have to throw away the fully functional panel, but also apple tried charging 750 euros for the repair because they have a monopoly on the display supply.

Thanks for letting me know, is this in the web version? If so, what browser? I tried Chrome and Firefox and I don't see this issue. I use a plugin to make sites dark ("Dark Reader") and it seems to work for my web calculator in Firefox.

Or is it Android? On my phone 1/sqrt(2) looks fine in "dark" and "very dark". If it doesn't for you, could you tell me what type of phone you have? I put some contact info in the "about" section of the app if you'd rather respond privately.

For dark mode on Android I just set the color and background-color attributes of the HTML display elements. (I didn't actually fully implement dark mode in the HTML version, though there are some commented out CSS files). But it's possible that something else is needed to work with MathJax in some cases.

> Rust treats correctness as paramount, not just memory safety

My favorite example of this is that Mutex in Rust is a container type. I think it's very interesting to reflect on why other languages that could do this (basically everything but C and maybe Go) still don't do this. I think it has to do with how you can't stop pointers from escaping the critical section if you don't have a borrow checker.
Yes, the damage is done at this point. The speculative frenzy is what drove the price increases, and it should've been short circuited early last year.

Prices will be stickier than rising rates increases affordability. But at this point it has to be done. Increasing buying power makes inflationary pressures worse, not better. Higher rates will kill the psychology/speculative aspect of rapid price increases.

And the Fed is acting far too late. The yield curve is about to invert as investors think that Fed hikes will lead to a recession. They have to do many of them and fast to get inflation under control, which will very likely lead to a bust. Every time in US history that inflation has been over 5%, a recession followed when the Fed took necessary measures to bring it down.

It could've been a smooth landing if they had started long ago and done them in slow increments with moderation. Yet they kept emergency level money printing and rates in place for two full years, far after the acute crisis had passed.

A recession would basically undo a lot of the quick recovery/good that the fiscal spending brought about. But seems too late to avoid if the Fed is serious about inflation and doesn't let it run unchecked like the 70s.

Though it's pretty apparent to me that prices will come down considerably if mortgage rates were to rise 2% in a short period of time. Which may just happen in the end... We'll see. Only ~10% of homeowners have moved at these prices levels, so there are many with much higher equity levels that would be willing to sell for less in a slow market.
There is very definitely a point.
Inflation provisions liquidity. You're not going to buy shit if everyone HODLs: if nobody is willing to use the coin, how are you expected to sell for the coin? Currency losing value over time discourages hoarding that currency and doing nothing with it.

Deflationary things are fixed assets, not currency.

I would be more inclined to get behind a cryptocurrency that correlates liquidity with value.
Literally everyone (100%) I knew that are into cryptocurrencies are primarily using them as speculative asset. That alone is not a problem. The problem is when they advocate cryptocurrencies or blockchains, they always talk about "decentralization", "uncensorable", "privacy", "future of web" or some other crap that they are not use the cryptocurrencies primarily for. That is what makes cryptocurrencies fraudulent.

If most (in my personal observation, 100%) use cases of such sector seems fraudulent, I do believe it is justified to generalize to the entire sector.

It doesn’t help that the compulsory “Business” edition is burdened with the anti-feature of Docker Registry but that SSO is still “on the roadmap.”

There’s no way we would have gotten the product through IT Security Management on time, much less through purchasing. Docker appears to have fallen down a bit on their market research - they forgot that their real customer for the Business subscriptions weren’t the developers at large companies, but their software purchasing processes.

I seriously question why you ever want to do this in any language except as a research effort. (for all practical purposes)

A model that can create realistic animations of talking faces
GP is upfront about the tradeoffs.

> You pretty much get all the pros and cons of home ownership.

And that's the heart of the matter. Everyone here is arguing in circles based on their feelings about cloud vs their feelings on bare metal (and from what I can tell, pride in their own abilities), but at the end of the day it's a cost-benefit tradeoff. Everyone picks that tradeoff for themselves. As my immigrant parents are getting older, I'm thinking of getting them a business internet line and a SIP phone in their house so that if they need me in an emergency (health or otherwise) they can reach me quickly/reliably. It's something I'm weighing based on the cost of the service/infrastructure/maintenance against my parents' technical and social capabilities (which are limited as older immigrants from a non-Western country.)

It's all about tradeoffs. As computing professionals we have the knowledge and the skills to uniquely take advantage of these tradeoffs in our personal lives. Much like I know quite a few cabinetmakers who do actually make furniture for their house with their skills, their tools, and the shop they work in. That doesn't stop most people from buying furniture from Ikea or most businesses from using cloud hosting.
Alexa can't even hear the 3 things I say to it every single day with any accuracy.

But, it seems like all voice control development keeps getting bought up by the Big 3, so it's not likely to have any significant breakthroughs independent of what Apple, Google and Amazon think voice control is good for.
You're already doomed to work with them.

I think you're right though. It is your responsibility as a skeptic to speak your mind, engage in discussion, offer compelling points, discuss technical details and social consequences and whatever else is important to you, and it is my responsibility as someone who understands and believes in (some of) this stuff to speak as well. And through it all, it is both of our responsibility to ourselves and those around us to be willing to learn from one another.
For comparison librrd is a 0.4MB .so; the entire rrdtool userspace is about 1MB. Yes, I realize librrd is much simpler and less featureful than Prometheus. But it's an interesting comparable for what a small, old utility that does something similar could be.

I think this is just the price you pay when talking about things people have vested financial interests in. I imagine there was a great deal of spin on BBS' around 2000 about dotcoms.

Unless you're going to ban talk around topics where spin and sway can directly make people money, you're just going to see this kind of thing. The best you can do is to engage honestly and openly with others and do your best to understand their viewpoints. Hopefully they do the same with you.
Rust: Detect Unsigned Integer Underflow
No, it's starting at the wrong end and not in any relevant way provide an improvement.

Checking for an too old & vulnerable is where you start.

And then you can consider to maybe also block other stuff.

There is nothing inherently less secure about an rooted device.

Sure you can make it less secure if you install bad software, but you can also make it more secure.

Or you just need to lower the minimal screen brightness for accessibility reasons.

Your claiming it's ok to take the agency from people away to decide over a major part of their live (which sadly phones are today) because maybe they could act irresponsible and do something stupid.

But if we say that is ok, then we first need to start to ban cars, because you could drive into a wall with it, and knifes, also no way to have a bath tube you could drown yourself.

And yes that is sarcastic, but there is a big difference between something being "inherently insecure" (driving without belt) or by default is in no way less secure as long as you don't go actively out of your way to make it less secure (by e.g. disabling security protections).

Yes I like it for the phone. The walled garden has very little malware and has high quality apps. I am never pestered to install crapware or malware and I don't have to be paranoid about it. You can still run your own development software on these machines, and software distributed in controlled channels outside of the store. The controls are reasonably convenient and necessary to keep unwanted software out.

Compare it to Android Play Store or much worse the Galaxy store situation. The grass is much greener in the walled garden.

For the Mac, it's a different story, you can and should be able to run whatever you want on it. But iPhone as a product is a well tended garden (controlled but quite wide and powerful) and I can appreciate that.
Interestingly, it looks like it is no longer sold and the terms disallow redistribution.

If bicycle helmets were essential for causal-speed, safe path, everyday bicycling, the Dutch would use them.

Interesting fact: in the US, riders without helmets receive more average buffer space from road vehicles than those with.

If you're downhill mountain biking, wear a proper helmet. If you're racing in Manhattan, wear an equally suitable helmet. If you're leisurely riding on a wide, empty side road in a residential area and cycle often, it may lend more placebo overconfidence to the rider than it confers necessary protection. It seems like gearing-up in knee and elbow pads to go for a simple walk.

I'm not sure what "eat section 13 of Mongo's license" means, but if you're asking whether you should self-host Mongo or pay Mongo Corp to host it, I would say the latter. It's not that expensive, they have a nice management UI, failover, performance hints, backups etc..

And I say this as someone who doesn't like Mongo DB and believes it's almost always the wrong technology for business to use. But if you're using it, might as well get the experts to host it for you.
