"The Switch" [0]

This set of blog posts that turned into a book is a great history of the underlying technologies that ultimately led to the computer, from the discovery of electricity onward. It's not a complete history of science, as it focuses on just one area, but it really brings out the nature of the interaction of discovery and practical development within their social context. I found it fascinating and enlightening.

Yes. I had to switch the serverless function that checks location to a server in Sweden, or else almost every site was in violation.
> Probably browsers will remove it anyway and deal with EU in court if they make a stink about it.

So how about we stop this proposal in its track right now instead?

russia has 2400 tons of gold reserves.

i would imagine russian soldiers would take gold as payment.
Honestly... I do consider such episodes as purely theatrical: who can be so .... (self-censor, since I have issue finding words that are not insults) to use smartphones for seriously dangerous activism, journalism etc?

Who can trust the bloatload of crap, bugs, backdoors of such devices, even carrying them alone in such situations?

Personally I try, and I'm not alone, to live without smartphones, and some propose to use them as "secure communication tools" for privacy-critical contents?!

Fiber Scheduler Interface feature was added to Ruby 3.0 in December 2020 https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.0/Fiber/SchedulerInterface.h.... Yet, the latest commit in this repo is 3 years ago.

You probably implemented your own custom scheduler implementation, right?

Not robust, but it comes with all systems for free.
As a Canadian who's currently driving a 9 year old Mazda 3, I'm waiting for the day it decides to call quits so I can move to an EV (9 isn't that old, so I'm hopeful at least another 2-3 years)

That said, I wish there was a site that simply told me now's the right time to buy an EV. With supply chain issues, long waits for a new car, government rebates, and the influx of new inventory/models, it's hard to keep up when's the right time to transition!

The very first article from this book was the most "lightbulb" moment for me in my transition from technical SME to management:

https://store.hbr.org/product/hbr-s-10-must-reads-for-new-ma...

It's NOT IT related. But the key lessons on how our role changes, how our goals and methods should change, and which of our expectations/assumptions of leadership are catastrophically incorrect, I think is universal.

For example, if I may be so bold, you said "to transform into a leader role which focuses on DevOps, Tests, QA, Documentation and related topics". NOWHERE in there you mention people ... and that's the #1 problem those of us coming from technical to leadership make :). We think "now we'll have the power to fix all those stupid technical deficiencies", rather than "Now I'm responsible for making sure team is motivated, inspired, working well, and they are in line with company's (and client's) goals and requirements".

It's the one 12-pager I recommend to all people who are becoming or relatively new managers (I read it after about 12 months in management; on one hand I wish I read it day 1; on the other hand, I'm not sure if I would've believed / embraced it as much until I lived it. Your mileage may vary).

Edit: For what it's worth; I did NOT believe or embrace this the first couple of years, but there is no upper limit to training, practice, and enhancing our emotional intelligence skills. It's harder than technical skills, not the least because as techies we may not see its value immediately, and it's a lot less clear cut of a topic. But learning how to understand, get along with, and inspire/motivate/coach/lead your fellow human beings, is a life long study.
So then just say “poor people”. I’m always surprised at how many well meaning people actually project racist views unintentionally.

And by the way, many “people of color” groups outperform white people both academically and economically. Asians Americans, for instance.

The US has a long, rich history of calling a foreign leader "dictator" then installing a new government. We kind of got tired of it because it's actually extremely unethical.

$230 on Amazon. Several books have been recommended that are no longer in print and are incredibly expensive for used copies. I'd be interested to know the reason behind this. If they're so useful, why aren't they in print?

Thanks for letting us know. Now, be the next level helpful and point how to find it for others! I can't see it on my profile
Thanks! Haven’t caught that one before.

The map state also persist from second search on, but I soon have a fix on that.
This is standard brinksmanship.
If you are reading it as a math proof, I am only disputing the claim when the idea was invented.

As I don't bring up the rest of the article's points, I am neither supporting nor refuting them with that particular comment.

Math (or actually, logic) is a bit more resilient than you make it out to be.
> ridiculous conclusions

> - IP addresses are personally identifiable information

I really thought you were going to go in a different direction than this. This is very obvious and there's nothing ridiculous about it. To most people in the EU, an IP address gives a very high resolution to a person.

> That means it is non-compliant to host your website at e.g. AWS

Yes, this is correct. AWS, Azure and GCP cannot possibly be compliant. It's taking everyone a while to figure this out. There's nothing wrong with that, privacy-sensitive information should never touch the US. No US-based company can guarantee your privacy.

> effectively everyone is non-compliant.

This is of course hyperbole. If you don't log or track you are perfectly compliant in every case.
I imagine the main selling point for this is portability, but a laptop is already about the size of a keyboard?

>I didn't know that China was part of the global South.

China was ruled out separately; the remaining countries are either opposed to Russia, very small, or reasonably described as "global South". Your other points are similarly vacuous, and your attitude gives me no reason to continue this conversation.
> This is perhaps for the first time in history Apple has a better "spec" machine for the same price.

This was also true at times after Apple switched to Intel — for example, around the time Apple went SSD-only they were considerably cheaper _and_ faster than the competition who were either shipping HDDs or using slower low-end SSDs using HDD-optimized interfaces. The main confound has been that they weren't selling crappy but super cheap machines or large laptops, so you could find products in those classes which were faster (at twice the weight / half the battery life) or much cheaper and a lot of people would make comparisons for things which were really in different classes.

The difference now is that we've hit the point where it's easier to do those side-by-side comparisons because everyone is using SSDs, solid case designs with decent thermals, etc. so there isn't an obvious confound like weight or build quality to complicate the comparisons.
> And effectively everyone is non-compliant.

You know that's blatantly wrong.

Your examples don't support your argument very much.

Export controls on cryptography were eliminated decades ago as it became clear that they made no sense and were counterproductive in a world where the Internet exists.

Patents are a legal concept that has been in existence for centuries but enforcement is only possible through civil court proceedings between private parties. Governments are not directly involved in enforcing patents. Moreover there have been few if any successful patent lawsuits against open source software.

As for the GDPR, from the wikipedia page you linked it appears to apply to enterprises that process data, not software. I don't think the GDPR attempts to restrict what data a software program can process locally on your computer. It only comes into effect if that data gets sent to some company.
I think there was also a concept for scientifically testing the MWI, but that only works subjectively. You essentially play Russian roulette, preferably based on the outcomes of a quantum measurement. Repeat until you either die or are satisfied that the world you are in is so implausible as to be impossible unless indeed every outcome is realised.

Say, fire an electron at a double slit with a detector in one of the slits, and kill yourself if the particle is not detected. Run the experiment 10,000 times, or 100,000,000 times - one copy of you will eventually be satisfied that in any probabilistic interpretation of QM this is not plausible, and all the other copies will be dead.

This works because the MWI predicts that any outcome that has non-0 probability according to the Born rule will be guaranteed to happen (it just "happens less" by some hard to define metric).

Personally I believe the entire notion is absurd, and that this type of thought experiment makes it clear, but still some like to be contrary.
