I actually remember it from the time. It was part of the discussion why the page's stylesheet would "win" over a user specified stylesheet when there were conflicts... sometimes things needed to be that way for legal reasons.
> Once you're dealing with adaptive formats (DASH, HLS) containing multiple renditions (different bitrates) and/or codecs, it gets more complicated.

but why does it need to have all these different formats and bitrates?
I've used Moom and BetterSnaptool and have not run into any jerky movement. neither one required any special security level to install, either.
I've seen the "it mostly works, ship it and we'll fix it later" approach used. The second part usually doesn't happen of course
“ I admit that it’s hard to imagine what a set of cloud-neutrality regulations might look like. After all, this is kind of an unprecedented situation. It would be as though Ford, GM, and Toyota had built the Interstate Highway System using private dollars and then charged tolls to other carmakers to use it.”
IDK, I'm just show a concrete value. The person I replied to said it was "not hard". S I mentioned a minimum dollar amount that I've observed at many places seemed reasonable (it can be much much more, like if you cover 100% health for employees and family)

Seems it wasn't helpful.
Alright, I agree completely. But I still don't see how it causes the same issues as microservices does. It is definitely conceptual crack (which is a genius term btw), but it isn't an ominous foot gun the same way the allure of microservices is.

EDIT: Oh I get it, you aren't talking at all about the consequences for the implementers. Only the massive effort required to turn the alluring V=f(S) into the React we have today. Got it.
Or worse: “Why don’t you just x?”

That's just san fransisco effect. Everything is pricey there because it can be. For point of reference elsewhere in CA, I just rode a bird in LA. 5.2 miles, 23 minutes, it was $14.10 after tax. Rideshare would have been higher in my case and I would have had to wait around for who knows how long for a ride to happen, meanwhile the scooter was there already with a half dozen backups nearby.
Technically you are correct, in broad strokes, but the important differences are in the details.
Another approach is to never context switch by running all programs in kernel mode and vetting them with an interpreter/JIT compiler: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death... (only half joking)
The implication is that it’s easy to say universal healthcare, student loan amnesty, and stimulus checks for all. It’s harder to say ‘but if we give stimulus checks, we might cause inflation’, or ‘universal healthcare might cost a few trillion a year, and I’m not sure how we can finance that’.

Stroking the plebs is not a new thing. Trump exists for this reason, AOC literally strokes the left with every tweet, so does Bernie.
There have been numerous articles suggesting Putin miscalculated, had bad intel, and was surrounded by “yes-men.” The crux being Putin can’t stop now even if he wanted because it would make him look weak.

They are all dancing around one of the most prolific war-time headline phrases, almost like the media is purposely holding off on using it until it’s been sufficiently built up before dropping it. I predict we will begin to see very shortly and hear endlessly on the 24/7 news cycle:

Ukraine is an intractable quagmire for Putin.

The media has used the phrase intractable quagmire to describe Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Its like a right of passage for every new generation of media covering a conflict.
It's neither. These are not SSDs in the traditional sense, they lack the controller. They are raw storage modules that are paired with the M1's on die controller.
It would be great if IDEs supported literate programming; the tangle/weave commands, simple as they are, create many possible points for navigation. An IDE would be ideal to go back and forth from the prose to the code.
These are great points. The lemon problem is ultimately a problem arising from asymmetry of information. We are hoping to empower our users with more information to tilt buying more in their favor.
Actually, Poland was defeated in 26 days. The invasion started on Sept 1 and concluded on Sept 27.
Between tech companies deciding which businesses and organizations they are politically comfortable hosting and the already starting ratcheting price hikes, I think a shift away from the public cloud grift is basically inevitable.
This is great stuff. It's how all code and data research should be
presented, where the document is the program and you can reproduce it
as easily as you can read it. After years of using Pure Data (a visual
dataflow) whose unofficial motto was "The diagram is the program" I
got this philosophy stuck deep in my brain. Today I use Org-Mode (In
Emacs) for tangling (with something called Babel) that can run source
code from many languages as part of an active document.

Motorcycles have about 29 times the deaths per mile compared to cars. If all you're worried about is saving space and gas they're a great option - my Honda cruiser gets about 80mpg. But it's incredibly dangerous. I think it's plausible that safety could improve with infrastructure changes and driver education, but I don't think it could ever compare to being strapped into a metal cage with airbags and crumple zones
> Why not just force benefits for all employees?

Public perception. Small business owners occupy a different perceptual space than large businesses. Lawmakers don't want to be perceived as hurting small businesses and craft laws to avoid it. It's more about maintaining political power as much as anything else.
>Consider how in-demand COBOL programmers are these days!

I keep hearing this but I have only ever heard bad things from the people who work there. Considering how in demand all developers are right now I wouldn't even think of getting in to some obsolete tech. You'd have to pay me enough to retire quickly.
Major corporations also often adopt a policy of automated record expunge after a given time. Sometimes that time is very short.
For me it is the other way around, I stuck with Gnome for a long time since 2003 up until 2020, my problem is that with every update I had to work harder and harder to make unwanted changes go away, especially when you have to cater more users than yourself on the machine. That said, the underlying libraries and systems are amazing in that everything goes smoothly, same can be said for Kde. Nowadays I use LXQt and I am so happy with that it adheres opendesktop standards and is flexible but not changing under my ass. I use Gnome and Kde under the hood and this combination keeps me happy.
if you are using neovim, nvim-dap has support for debug adapters, which includes gdb in addition to several other languages (python, nodejs, java etc). Here [1] are available debug adapters.

It is noteable that nvim-dap just provides support for debug adapters, if you are looking for nice UI, there are other plugins such as nvim-dap-ui [2].

In vim land, there is vimspector. I have not used vimspector myself, but from what I hear, it is slower than nvim-dap.

Thank you, glad to hear that our React-Redux hooks are useful!

And yes, the fact that the hooks work so much better with TS than `connect` was one of the major reasons why we now recommend the hooks API as the default.
Rockets are difficult environments for connectors, the spring loaded compliant mechanism of an sd card holder just isn’t appropriate for that application. You could get it to work but it would involve a lot of vibration analysis and design to be gentle enough to the connector and you would have to keep track of every time a card was connected and removed.

> consent popups are a requirement of the law but the enforcers and courts don't seem to like that fact

I don't think you could misrepresent the situation any more if you tried. IAB did not even have a data protection officer. As a massive advertising body.

How you go from the very specific and clear list of violations [1] to "the courts don't like consent popups" is entirely beyond me. That's like a car manufacturer stating the authorities don't like cars after failing a crash test for not having airbags.

> If you don't care that your phone is spying on you, then the Librem 5 is not for you.

I don't agree - you may not care about spying much, but you can still want a handy fully hackable GNU/Linux computing device in your pocket as your mobile phone, that belongs to you and not the vendor; in which case, the Librem 5 may be the perfect choice for you as well :)

> Backups (...) "Unable to find supported SSH command"

Hah, sounds like a missing package dependency! Most likely missed because, well, who doesn't install ssh on their phone right away anyway? ;)

> I installed telegram-desktop with apt and it automatically shows up in the app launcher, which is a good sign, although it doesn't work.

Seems like `qtwayland5` package needs to be installed, otherwise Qt apps go through XWayland. I know that people are using telegram-desktop successfully.

There's an update coming that changes the focus scale in a way that makes it much easier to work with. Still not exactly pleasant, but it's definitely better :)

It's in the quick settings accessible from the top bar - a bell icon allows you to toggle notifications between audible, vibration-only or completely silent.

It's in the hamburger menu.

One website nitpick is the use of a non standard link for the logo and listings auto open in a new tab (maybe this default behavior is better for users?).
Does your phone read the RAW files, or are you shooting JPEG? (iOS and macOS don’t preview Fuji RAW files, which is not a surprise, given how they require very special handling as they’re not traditional Bayer filter sensors.)

And how is the performance when editing on the phone? Those are some big files.
Yeah this is apocryphal at best.

I've just been trying to reach out to my local representatives and express support for preservation of the course. There are already a number of grassroots campaigns that have been keeping me current on developments. I can only hope it all works out though and this space remains for the public; the bad guys seem to win more often than not and the sitting councilman whose district this course falls into certainly has an amicable relationship with the school.
> but whatever an undergrad does, even at MIT, is for the exercise, the experience of doing it, and not for pushing the state of the art and publishing articles.

I'm sorry, but we're running into a brick wall of your viewpoint of the capabilities of all undergraduates which does not match what happens at MIT or any other research university which also formally or informally has undergraduates or even high school students perform grad student level research.

I was in a NSF Summer Science Training Program in the 1970s and real research was an integral part of it, I did grunt labor a lab tech or beginning grad student would do, but learned a great deal about the general field from the Principle Investigator (PI, the professor who ran the lab) and the senior grad student who I directly worked under. In return they got free labor and payed their debts forward to the people who originally mentored them.

Move from eight man weeks in that program to what can be done at MIT in up to four months a year full time for pay, plus whatever can be squeezed in when classes are in session and you get paid in credit, and the system can easily turn out a mid-level or higher grad student equivalent with enough work under his belt to be in real papers published by legitimate journals that wouldn't be what you describe above. And be the basis of a very legitimate recommendation, grad students who turn out not to be able to do research are a messy loss to a department and the professor who finds this out the hard way.

We have no basis for discussion so this will be the end of my replies, but there's at least one other discussion on this system in this topic, and it's common enough knowledge in academia.
Obligatory Simpsons reference: "Can you imagine a world without lawyers?" [0]

But basically without JavaScript we would have used Java applets and the Java Virtual machine.

So your browser would actually be a hypervisor where each "tab" is actually a container for the JVM. An inside that container you could execute any language that compiles to the JVM. Different apps would run in it even a web browser would run on it!....

A little bit like what wasm is trying to accomplish now but 25 years earlier.

Nonsense. A deep study about web accessibility some 2 years ago revealed that 98.8% of web pages have accessibility issues. So saying "might as well not exist" is a dramatization of reality.

The problem is contrast, not scale.
It seems things have changed since I last looked at how Google does deployments. Back then, every test ran on every checkin to the mainline, and all code was checked into the mainline. It even talks about that in the Google SRE book.
Edward Niedermeyer's book _Ludicrous_ spends some time on this subject. According to Musk's own statements, Tesla invited less than 200 customers to a trial, and then declared that there was insufficient demand. Niedermeyer points out that conducting even a single customer battery swap allowed Tesla to book about $100M in extra ZEV credits over the years; according to his own anecdotal observations, there was considerably more demand than Tesla claimed, but Tesla did not seem to be overly motivated to make the program work.
when I started at GOOG, email lived forever. Then at some point, supposedly document discovery was costing n*2 dollars for n accounts and this was some sort of justification for creating a 1-year and 5-year expunge (maybe I have the times off). I ended up losing a fair amount of my long-term correspondence (scientific stuff) because I didn't want to vault things indefinitely.

What amazes me is that the leadership repeatedly puts these sorts of incriminating things in email after being repeatedly told not to.
I'm surprised at the ire around this question. "Why don't you do X" is a great way to understand why someone did Y. A perfectly valid answer might be "X might be better, but Y is fine and it's not the highest priority at the moment." Or the answer might be any of the dozens Brendan Gregg gave (including "for reasons I can't disclose."). Any of these answers might be illuminating to the asker.

Now, admittedly, it's very tone dependent. "Why don't you X" can be asked humbly and with a truly inquisitive tone, or with a sneering tone whose obvious implication is that you must be either ignorant of X or too dumb to see its merits. But in writing, at least, I try to infer the more charitable attitude of genuine curiosity.
It's not quite the same (less action for one), but if the "humans have crazy ideas" aspect is interesting, then the Starfleet Corps of Engineers (aka Star Trek: SCE) novels might be worth a look. Haven't read many of them myself, but "make things work any way you can" is basically how they function.
I remember my first day of advanced computer graphics (25 years ago, so advanced then wasn’t advanced now) the whole class was shocked when the professor did his dramatic start of class saying “you should never document your code!”…dramatic pause…”you should code your document”.

I still think of that today when I’m writing complex algorithms. I write everything first in prose. Then translate that to a more list like structure. And then I fill in the code around that.

Works really well when I have to come back months later and figure out what I was thinking.
Microservices actually allow teams to work independently of each other (once there are agreed on interface contracts) and more importantly, decouple schedule - I don't have to wait or switch to something else if you're 3 days late delivering your component; it is usually easy to mock the inputs and outputs and build test harnesses and do lots of things that are more difficult with monoliths.

HOWEVER, I don't understand why people get religious about methodologies. Every time a new fad comes out, I don't look at it as the "One True Way", I just evaluate its strengths and weaknesses and add it to my toolbox. I also am not religious about following all the precepts of the new religion. I'll mix agile and waterfall if I want. I will conduct my daily status meetings how I want and call them scrum, even if it's just to piss off zealots. I will sit down during standup. I'll mix microservices and monoliths. I will figure out the value I want from a methodology and be happy when I get that; I don't believe in utopia anymore.
Every US administration has been an advocate of that more or less since post-war Germany was allowed to have 'its own defense'.

Part of Julius Caesar's tyranny was his work to cancel the debt of common people and redistribute land- Debt owed to wealthy (the senate), and land 'owned' (seized from the public) by the wealthy (the senate).

That's not "part of [his] tyranny." That's a good thing that he did. He was also a tyrant in some ways, because people are complicated, and lots of people do a fairly even mix of good and bad.

It's extremely misleading, that sort of map view of a war like liveuamap tries to create. There is going to be no attempt to defend farmland, little towns or villages etc.
The fact is that the administrative and economic centres of Ukraine are Ukraine. Once they are under Russian control, there is very little anyone can do.

The sort-of map view of a war is too flawed. It was more relevant in a time when the majority of a country's economy was located in the countryside - where people physically grew food, produced goods on a small scale etc. - and it lends itself nicely to video games (which, let's face it, are most people's only experience of grand strategy and warfare). It's just not how warfare works, and the victory condition for the Russian army is maybe a month and a half away at current pace, by my estimation.

The information in the map that you linked is meaningful for sure, but it neglects the details that actually determine any side's performance in the war - you cannot extract the war's velocity from it.
> . No one is saying you can't hum a song but you certainly aren't entitled to a lossless download of that song.

The media industry says that you cannot. Doing so can have severe penalties under the law. They wrote those laws. Hum just a few of the wrong notes in a song you're writing and you can be sued for millions. Create a base line too similar to one you've heard in another song and they'll see you in court. Hum a few bars of something on your youtube channel and Content-ID will cause you to lose your income and put your ability to participate on one of the largest global platforms at risk, not because YouTube cares, but because if they aren't hyper-aggressive about enforcing the copyrights of others the media industry will take YouTube to court.

It was increases in the accessibility of printing and literacy which caused copyright law to be created. Although we've moved from printing presses and dictation to lossless downloads today it doesn't change the underlying struggle of balancing the freedoms of the average person, the need to support and encourage creators, the harm to progress and creativity caused by limiting the public's access to content, and the desires of certain people to act as gatekeepers for power and profit.

Once you start talking about who is "entitled" to what it's critical to keep in mind what copyright was created to accomplish and what it has actually become.
