I feel that way after being on OSX for a year. At least on Linux you can access the magical underpinnings. OSX and Windows have all the same problems to me and far less ability to fix them.
> The head of global community development

The article says "a head", not "the head", and refers to him as "manager of global community development".

Of course I can't confirm this, but on one of the big Reddit threads on this topic an anonymous user claimed to be a Meta employee and looked this fella up, he managed 10 people. Just a low level people manager.
One of the best things we invested in is a Circle device. All kid's devices have the Circle VPN. Through it we can turn off their Internet access at certain times, give them a time limit on certain applications or websites, easily monitor what they are doing from our own phones, etc.

You're stonewalling what could otherwise be a beneficial discussion. If you addressed the points made and explained why they don't justify my perceived benefits, maybe I could learn something from you. But you would rather make a snarky comment, ignore the arguments made, then say it's a waste of time... Too bad, really. Have a nice weekend!

There is also the possibility the author would teach you something, since he started with the exact same position you have. At the very least wouldn't it be interesting to see why he had a change of heart (whether it be greed, wishful thinking, or maybe something you haven't considered)?
I agree with the general point but in practice you will find a range of people with the same supposed responsibilities. Not all of them would be executing them at the same level.

Of course, this could be rectified by having finer grained titles. However, finer grained titles introduce their own overhead, introducing more politics/bureaucracy into the system (people at Microsoft would be familiar with this scenario).
A fake local KMS server has been the way most activation hacks have worked for years actually

If you want to get creative you can run your own KMS server and anyone who connects to your local network can now be assigned whatever microsoft license you want. You don't even need to fake it or use the hacked version - just run a real one and get a bunch of edu licenses for whatever products you want to activate for whoever connects to your local network.
Yeah I was -this close- to buying the Framework laptop when my 2017 MBP died (I'm not gentle with my electronics) but I needed a laptop soon and the M1 Air was ~200 cheaper than the Framework would have been. It's the best computer I've ever owned hands down. I do wish I got the Framework for Linux but I can work fine in macos.

One thing about OpenBSD that impressed me is that whatever is supported is supported correctly.

My go to example is my laptop’s keyboard backlight works exactly as expected from tty terminals.

I’m willing to limit my hardware options to the small subset that works with OpenBSD in return for having an OS that I can trust. Fortunately, this small subset includes the X1 Carbon thinkpads which are really nice.

I’m experimenting living with a combination of iPad + openBSD thinkpad - iPad for things like Netflix and Zoom where the business isn’t interested in supporting openBSD, and my laptop for everything else.

PS: Bluetooth is a terrible protocol and should be nuked from orbit out of existence. None of my 5 bluetooth headphones (from different vendors and different price ranges) can figure out which device I was last playing from, my car repeatedly steals my bluetooth audio and starts playing music without my consent every single time, audio stops streaming randomly despite my phone/iPad thinking that they are connected and continuing to play - I can rant for a long time. I genuinely respect openBSD developers for deleting the bluetooth stack to improve the OS quality.

> Has it ever been shown that it’s possible to write a full browser engine in Rust?

Why wouldn't it be possible?
It should be at least no harder than modern C, where any undefined behavior is a license for the optimizer to outright ignore the code you actually wrote. The main practical difficulty stems from the fact that Safe Rust rules are fully in effect even in an unsafe block, so you need to assess where references can be used instead of general pointers etc.
> but has anyone looked at the spreadsheet yet to see for themselves? I think we're proving him right so far, haha.

But we aren't.

The author has described his method in words. My contention is that the method he described does not pass the bar for good science. If my contention is correct, then it simply does not matter what is or is not in his spreadsheets.

Here's an analogy: If I told you that I determined the safest car on the road by measuring the distance to the moon, and that I had very very good spreadsheets for measuring the distance to the moon, would you really bother to check my spreadsheets?

I don't think you would. I think you would (correctly) say, "Hey, that's a really dumb way to figure out the safest car on the road and I'm not going to bother to check your math."

Now, I don't think that the author has done something quite that orthogonal to his stated goal, but I also don't think it's close enough that I want to bother checking his math.
Risk is subjective, involving multiple factors.
> At the oil companies themselves, management has a singular duty to shareholders -- anything else is just PR blah-blah. We can debate whether that's a feature or bug of capitalism, but pearl-clutching news reports that ignore that basic fact aren't helpful in the public debate.

I agree with this, however, we know that energy harvesting potentially has negative side effects, often from byproducts such as methane production. Which can then lead to methane off-gassing.

From an investment perspective this really ticks me off, because I want that methane captured, brought to market, and sold. We should fight the idea that energy companies should be in the business of bad practices. Now, that raises a new set of questions around incidental methane capture, and the technologies needed for capture, to prevent off-gassing.

The key to this is trending - are we heading in the right directions, or not? What major and minor course corrections do we need to correctly steer the behemoth that is the energy industry?

Reading the threads here about parents trying to manage their kids' online usage something strikes me. It's a little hard to articulate, but I might call it the "assumption of normalcy" in regard to media/technology. People assume, to various degrees, that current forms of technology and levels of usage are "fine, just fine", yet if you think about it for a bit it seems really more like a "boiling frog" situation. What I mean is that we are engaged in a massive open-air social/psychological experiment of sorts, and we're more or less doing it on auto-pilot.

From that POV the policy changes that China has introduced seem like an attempt to opt-out, which would make Chinese kids into a kind of "control group" for our media/internet/phone/game mass experiment. The problem is that there are so many confounding variables that it seems unlikely that we can learn much from it after all. And it's moot anyway since there's no political way to enforce similar bans in the West.

FWIW, if I had kids I would ban the Internet, smart phones, and even cable TV. I've been on the Internet, there's no way I would expose my kids to it, even with ad-blockers. The Internet used to be Burning Man, now it's Bangkok. I wouldn't let my kids wander around the open Internet any more than around the back alleys of Bangkok. I feel for parents that are dealing with this.
>I know lots of people who would have been stuck in extremely low social mobility situations in their home countries, and who only managed to go up in social class by moving to one of these Middle Eastern countries, and earning good money and by doing honest work - the last of which wasn't an option in their own countries.

Honestly, I think this is a really difficult topic to discuss on the internet. It's too easy to misinterpret any "Their situation is awful, but was even worse before" as some sort of a justification, rather than seeing it as just being a statement of how things really are for a lot of people on this planet.

Due to where my family is originally from, I know people in the labor class in UAE who basically scarified their lives and bodies so their children could get an education and a white collar job. It was an terrible choice they had to make. Many people are forced to make the same choices in Western countries, but it's not in the news to the same degree. It's hard to have a rational discourse about life when the choices people have are starvation or suicide in their own country, or a lifetime of manual labor in a foreign country for wages that do nothing for them, but a lot for their families back home.

At this point a lot of the times microsoft will just keep updating the OS anyways even if you never activate it - I guess it is not worth the potential blowback to leave machines unpatched? There will be a small watermark in the corner and they do lock you out of some settings
I got so annoyed with snapd that I finally patched the auto-update functionality to provide control via environment variable. It's ridiculous that this is what I have to personally go through in order to maintain control of when updates are applied on my own systems.

If enough people were to ever decide to get together and properly fork snapd and maintain the patched version I'd totally dedicate time to helping out.

I keep seeing this criticism and I don't get it. Presumably no one knew about his proclivities - not his parents, not his best friend, not his wife (if he had one), no one. It's obviously a very secretive part of his life and it's unreasonable to expect an employer to somehow know this about him.

Meta employes 60,000 people according to a quick google search. I promise you there are plenty of Meta employees who have hobbies and interests the employer doesn't know about.
those hoping to avoid that will have to use a dummy Microsoft Account to then create a local one afterwards.

It looks like the shaded area marks colors that are representable in the color space of that chart (CIELCh or OKLch) but not representable in sRGB (which is the color space used by the rgb and hsl functions in CSS). I think it makes sense to allow experimenting with dragging colors into the shaded area, because you still get to see how that effects the shaded area in the charts for the other axes. I would also love this tool to support color spaces from the CSS Color Module Level 4, like display-p3, but I don't think the underlying chroma.js library supports those yet.

> they would lose the ability to deploy new privacy features

I disagree, in the sense that they could still produce their own client which had those new features (and use feature-detection to remain compatible with forks that support them), but you seem to be making a more subtle argument about market forces and group dynamics, which I want to understand better.

What sort of tradeoffs do you think competing clients would make? I can't think of any way that weakening the privacy could improve the UX enough to make people want to abandon the official client (although I could see people abandoning the official client for a fork which doesn't include the crypto-coin, and all of its attack surface).

The only example I can think of (trying to steelman your position as much as possible) is that other clients would remove the requirement for providing a phone number, and this would make it harder to do key verification somehow (and thus it would happen less often). I can't quite make that argument work, and I still think that not providing Signal with a phone number is a choice that users should be allowed to make based on their own assessment of the risks.

Ultimately, though, Signal closing their network cannot make users safer, since their network isn't the only way to communicate. Users who don't like the UX (or unwanted features) of their client are free to install WhatsApp instead, or just use SMS, so I really don't accept the argument that restricting free software development leads to better privacy over all.

> Saying that LXC shares the kernel of its host does not convey the whole picture. In fact, LXC containers are using Linux kernel features to create isolated processes and file systems.

So what is Docker doing then??
You couldn't be more wrong. I made the leap to Ubuntu 20.04 late last year and haven't regretted it. This after a quarter decade of being a Windows guy. There's a couple rough edges, but overall? I'm home.
The confusion is because LXD is more comparable (build/publish/consume) to Docker, but the command you use to run it is called "lxc", so some people call LXD "LXC".
Alright, you give me 70k. I can give you back 70k, or you can take the tax write-off for the loss... which one would you rather have?

“The changes will mirror the same requirements Microsoft originally added to Windows 11 Home last year, meaning you won’t be able to avoid Microsoft Accounts by creating a local user account during setup.”

If I remember correctly, when you install Win11 Home, it forces you to login with a Microsoft account. But the easy workaround is to unplug the ethernet cable, windows will realize it can’t connect and the local account option should appear.

Nevertheless, It’s stupid that MS wants this behavior by default

My friends who struggled with this couldn't understand that they never made their kid responsible for policing his own time. If he went 3 hours instead of 2, he got a talking to (if they even noticed) and was back on the next day. For a while he was really good at apologizing because it got him what he wanted. Any time he didn't do what he was asked to do he would just say he was sorry and get away with it. His reward for being ignorant of his actions was clear, and his punishment was abstract. His parents were exhausting themselves trying to stay on top of things, and so twice a year they would overreact (no screens for a week!) which also blew up on them.

My suggestion was pretty simple IMO: The 2 hours a day is a budget, not a rule. If you went 3 hours today, then the consequence is that you only have 1 hour left tomorrow. If you went 6 hours, then guess what, you get 0 hours today and tomorrow. Straight mathematical consequences even a child can predict. They tried it for a hot second (even letting him bank up time for later, which he found enticing - do a paper tonight, play for 3 hours tomorrow!) but couldn't stay on top of it.

So this kid also learned that rules are flexible/inconsistent, and you can just keep asking for exceptions because his parents had no discipline to teach him. He ran into some trouble in high school because of this. The real world often doesn't care about reasons, they want results.

(Fullmoon author here) I actually started with integrating Lapis into redbean (I have redlapis module that mimics a subset of openresty API over redbean to Lapis, so I can run it over Redbean), but it led to too much work given the difference in the underlying server architecture, so I abandoned this effort in favor of the redbean-focused one (can publish what I have if someone is interested to give it a try). There were also some philosophical differences; for example, I preferred a different routing implementation (with specific routing order) and it was difficult to change or re-configure the one in Lapis.

In terms of the differences, Lapis is definitely the more feature rich one, as it includes its own ORM and integration with various back-ends (including data access and migration). Lapis is largely class-based and Fullmoon is taking a more procedural approach, which I think aligns better with redbean's simplicity and performance. Lapis provides session support, which Fullmoon currently doesn't have, but it's one of the next functions I plan to implement. Routing and templating capabilities are similar in both, even though the approaches taken are quite different.

Fullmoon is likely to be noticeably faster (at least based on my local tests) and can leverage some of the components already available in redbean out of the box (for example, argon2, hmac functions, and direct SSL integration). Lapis is well documented and has several interesting projects built on it, so it's much more battle tested. fullmoon is only 3 months old and is being actively worked on. Its code is also much shorter, so it may be easier to study and tweak. Fullmoon also includes 150+ tests that one can run locally or from redbean.

Hope this helps as a quick overview, but if there are more detailed questions, let me know.
