Although not as natively customizable as Linux. I've found everything I need that I miss from other OSes on mac. There are a lot of highly motivated developers that come up with some really nice apps/extenstions/etc.

FWIW I've been using macOS/Windows/Linux for over 12 years. Every OS has it's warts. I'm still kind of baffled that Windows doesn't have native Explorer tabs.
I think you’re missing the point. Privileged communication isn’t a free for all. The communication must actually be relevant to the legal representative, in their position as a legal representative. The alternative would be that you could have the company lawyer CC’d on every document and so claim privilege against any request.

AC privilege is a critical part of the legal system, and so cannot be circumvented, so without an escape hatch for abuse, any company (or gov agency) could permanently shield everything they have from subpoenas, etc

Hence the rules for privilege set out that abuse of privilege can waive some or all privilege from your communication, even things that would otherwise be legitimately protected.

So blindly CC’ing counsel not only does not protect things that aren’t legitimate, but can remove protection from things that otherwise are.
Virtually everything you own that was sold in the US had a wide variety of terms set by the US government on your behalf on how it was constructed, advertised, and sold. The question was never if the government should set terms it is what terms.

You are also somehow envisioning the government as a separate entity having no relationship to the people as a whole that instead of literally already setting the entire ground rules in which our society exists somehow needs a very high bar to justify any interference whatsoever.

The government is all of us and the only justification it requires is the people's interests. 99.999% of people aren't chicken farmers so if they demand cleaner chicken farms so the chicken they eat are less likely to give them the shits then cleaner farms it is and those who who don't like it can situate their farms somewhere else.

99.999% of people aren't Nintendo executives so if the people are smart enough to demand hardware they actually own then Nintendo is free to exit the entire US market.

I don't remember anything being off in elementary school. I was just a kid happy spending time doing kidstuff outdoors and sitting through the indoor parts. I did literally fall asleep in class one time to the point the teacher couldn't wake me up, so my parents were called and I eventually woke up in my bed.

I started goofing around in middleschool, but still found math and science interesting enough to learn it just by listening in classes. Luckily when I started high-school home computers were invented and got one which took up most of my brain energy making various programs, utilities, and video games. Otherwise I got into my fair share of trouble outdoors for kids of my age group.

I remember hearing how hard university was going to be by everyone. I was very disappointed and disillusioned that it seemed a continuation of high school. Sure some courses were very challenging but they were few in number and if I was able to get them added to my schedule. It was here that I really learned how much I could slack off and get by. Other than some core concepts, most of my best learning has come from my own side projects and co-op work term work.

Are there any unbiased articles that discuss the implications of Ukraine agreeing to not join the EU/NATO? Something that just analyzes the economics and geopolitical consequences - not ideological or moral issues. Basically, why didn’t Ukraine do what Belarus did to save human lives?
Often the deals aren't limited to cash. There are promises of economic development, education, healthcare etc.. as well.

You might agree to give your land away to a verbal deal where promises are made, only to discover later that the detailed text contains contingencies that give your counterparty an out of one or more major promise that you had taken for granted as part of the deal.
> are any organizations out there who operate at web scale without relying on the specific practice of shipping software with heaps of dependencies

Yes there are. Ultimately you want to put files on a server and start a process. The disposition of the scaffolding is a matter of taste. Aside from containers and virtualisation, there are two common alternatives I've seen:

1. deploy code from a tag or branch in a revision control system (perforce/git/hg etc), with OS-level dependencies and provisioning handled by one of the so-called "infrastructure as code" tools e.g. puppet/chef/salt/ansible etc.

2. package code for deployment using OS-native packages (e.g. .debs), with OS-level dependencies handled natively, and provisioning in a pre/post-install package script.

How they are similar:

* Both still allow use of userspace partitioning, whether it's a dumb chroot, jail, zone or whatever.

* Both still need some kind of workload scheduling, and a release tool.

* Both approaches are from the school of "choose boring technology".

* Compared to containers, both approaches tend to leave resources underutilized, unless the scheduler's bin packing is very good.

* Both are slightly more coupled to OS release cycles than a container or virtualisation approach to distribution.

For scaled entities the glue between the parts, any dashboards, and often the scheduler, are likely to be bespoke. Some PaaS vendors were explicitly designed around the first type (e.g. Engineyard, Opsworks) but like Mesos they're half dead now. I've seen one very large brand try to run this inside their CI/CD pipeline, which you can shoehorn in, but it doesn't fit well due to conceptual mismatch.

How they differ, in my experience:

The first is really easy to get going with, since it's barely a conceptual step beyond installing locally by hand. Your release tool may ultimately be a wrapper around git. It suffers from long deploy times (generally due to local compiles) and can be brittle, in part because config management scripts are an afterthought for many developers. Unwinding a broken deploy is (usually) horrible. Developers often like this style, but the ops tech debt builds rapidly.

The second kind (native packages) is more easily managed and certainly deploys faster, and has a lower attack surface. You need a more sophisticated and probably centralized build service+package repository (a wise architect will use whatever the OS vendor uses). Unwinding a broken deploy is (usually) easy. Developers often complain about this style because they're forced to consider operational concerns, although I personally think that's an excellent forcing function at work. If you like the idea of shipping a compiled statically-linked binary to bare metal, this is probably the best way to enable it, short of baking an entire machine image.

If it wasn't obvious from the remarks, I am personally quite fond of the second option.
What are some interesting p2p or otherwise decentralized content platforms today that could be next to gain critical mass in users and content?

I know webrtc lets you do things like peertube, webtorrent, and p2p videoconferencing, then we have mastodon and some other social platforms, and various relatively unpopular IM platforms.

And good old email of course, maybe that could even incrementally bootstrap some new usage model eg in IM.
Watching the “Making of the Interstellar Soundtrack” is quite simply inspiring. The process and mechanics of making such moving art with such primative tools is amazing.

“On the Nature of Daylight” by Max Richter used in the opening scenes of Arrival is one that really punches you in the gut - if the theme and monologue isn’t enough to already give you a lump in the throat as a parent.

There are different kind of charter cities. Concessions in Shanghai you mentioned was ran by the colonist and work for the colonist. The locals were either rejected or not interested in participating. That was the problem.

Hong Kong was successful because it was ran by local Hongkongers. It began as much as like other colony. But Hong Kong become successful because it was cut out of the the colonist UK's control after WW2. It was a territory in the middle of a communist. The governor need local support in order to sustain their power. So they starts to adapt locals into the power structure. At the end, local Hongkongers were highly participating the society. But it become catastrophic in last two years because the new host country China does not like that.

In that sense, I agreed that charter city did not work, because a successful charter city will be doomed to destroy by the host country. It could either become a country or being absorbed. A colonist style charter city were problematic to start with.

But it is a good method to test new governing idea before a full adaptation to the whole country. It is like startup for government. In that sense, it is a good idea, and Hong Kong was a great experiment. China created Shenzhen based on that.

Here’s a whitepaper on it https://uark.app.box.com/s/f7v6rk7xnwkjaetws7e1yaodomg883fi .

The merkle tree part of blockchains is absolutely valuable here… but that’s kind of where it ends. There’s no real consensus mechanism when there are 'merge conflicts', it needs manual overrides.

It’s more like git than bitcoin – and it helps them for similar reasons to why git helps us even when there’s a canonical source. People go offline and can’t sync immediately to the master store; people want to write events down now and deal with discrepancies later; disagreements are reified and can be formally reviewed, etc.

As best I can tell, it seems other aspects of blockchains just came along for the ride. The best open source code for their use case included it, and using it was better than building from scratch. The decentralisation is all but coded out – the central authority is the only one that can authorise transactions or resolve a 'merge conflict'.
I agree with that. Its partly why I quit a job like that myself.
this isn't true. the phi was extremely complex to program for, and it was not simply a port of standard x86 code. it required you to pay attention to multiple levels of memory hierarchy, just as the GPU did.
The natural extension of "we don't have to simply blindly accept that the result of market competition == the outcome that we'd all choose if we thought about the big picture and not just the in-the-moment choices" is that we would definitely not assume "the result of market competition == anything ethical."

Changing outcomes/behaviors to ensure people act ethically would have to come from an outside-the-market force, like government.
Get the one with the folding peddle. Seems like a minor thing. I’ve left mine unfolded because I was being lazy. Once. It makes that much difference in my experience.
I was excited to read an article of someone saying that long hours is actually good aha

Still a well written and thoughtful post.

Uhh...

It lists all the operations that it can't do, but not what it can do. Can they download a private SAML certificate? Can they impersonate a user? Can they configure SSO and MFA settings? Can they download audit logs?
I'll give you an actual contrarian take on working long hours: I like it, and I'm really tired of people commenting on what hours I keep.

I enjoy my work. It's what I'd be doing in my spare time if I didn't need or have this job. I've thought about this, and I think I'd stick around at my role even if I hit a windfall, because I want to see this through to the end, one way or another. Sometimes, in order to do the kind of job I would be proud of, I need to work very long hours. That's 100% fine with me, but it's not always been fine with some other people I work with.

I'll even go one step further; I like working with others who share this view on working. I know not everyone can do as I do, and not everyone wants to do as I do, but when I'm working with people who can and want to work long hours, I am substantially more satisfied at my job than when I work with 9-5ers.

I don't in any way begrudge those 9-5ers, I just would rather work with people who share my ability and desire to push as far as is needed to complete the work to a high standard that is usually not possible in 40 hours a week.

It just seems like I have to constantly kowtow to the 9-5ers because they get so bent out of shape when you suggest that their style of working is only one of many totally acceptable ways of living. "Work life balance!" they shout, but not all of us have bifurcated the concepts. Work and life don't have to be these entirely severed things, I much prefer to weave them together and work with other people who can weave them together successfully.

It's frustrating. There's some sort of moral nobility in "only" working 40 hours, like I'm the problem and they're just trying to live their lives. I don't mind! I just want to work with people who value the things I do.
I can, actually.

here in Singapore Brompton and Birdy are MAMIL standard ride.
I would not recommend starting with a lower cost folding bike. When I was shopping for a folding bike 8ish years ago I tried out a bunch of different bikes. Most folding bikes feel pretty squirrely and harder to ride than a typical bicycle. Larger wheels help but then the extra size cuts down on the benefits of having a folding bike. Bromptons were the only folding bikes I tried that felt good to ride as soon as I tried them. If you start with a cheaper bike, you might get used to it but you might hate how it handles and avoid using it as a result.
That does not help me on mobile, or in disposable Qubes I browse in to keep totally anonymous. At best I could see using fido2 taps with random identifiers to prove I am physically touching a hardware authenticator even if the ID is a throw away.
As it turns out, rational people actually want to cut costs. This is true even down to the individual level. And time is money, so nobody wants to spend the effort to be decentralized when a centralized system exists that takes less money. Rational choices are what bring centralized systems into existence.
What's amazing to me is that if you want to find any of these decentralized systems, you have to trust some centralized entity identifying them as the true system. For example, want to download MetaMask? How will you find it? Google MetaMask and trust that Google will have filtered out all the fake MetaMask wallets set up to steal your money. Want to lend money on a DeFi platform like Anchor? Again, Google and hope to God their fake counterpart didn't figure out how to fake its way to the top of the SER page. People have lost tons of money this way.

If only there was a trustless, decentralized, immutable, database of sorts that could be used as the source of truth... thegraph.com supposedly wants to do this, but it wants me to connect my wallet and again I'm not sure I'm on the "right" website...
> Which shouldn't be hard when they're objectively maximizing engagement at your expense.

This needs more proof - specifically, would people agree it's at their short term expense even if they agree it's against their long term expense? Lots of successful short-term fun, long-term negative products out there in the world, and we rarely expect - or see - the free market alone to make those products go away.
Untrue. With most machines, you can download a single application to pull data. You only need to stick an SD card in the SD card slot.

If changing this permission requires root access then malware can only access it after they have obtained root access to your machine basically after you have already lost.

It this seems too insecure one could gate such a feature behind a physical switch on the device.

If this is indeed still not secure enough one could require a physical switch AND a password or token ensuring that the person physically holding the device can still be restricted by the owner in case the two aren't one in the same while providing all owners absolute privilege on their own hardware.
One problem is that decentralization sometimes doesn't scale.
It's cool to have completely decentralized email, but once many people use it, there will be lots of spam, and it's hard dealing with that in a decentralized way, I guess.
That’s great. Other studios are working on realistic problems and performance as well like Pearl Abyss. Difference is, they actually have games using the tech.
GrubHub lost its way in 2014 when it merged with Seamless and IPO'd for 2.7 billion dollars.

That's when it gobbled up all the smaller competitors and started squeezing the restaurants.
I think that's fair, but there's a lot we're willing to ignore because it 'won't happen here.' Can you imagine the uproar if a Chinese state-run mining company wanted to start a charter city in the Nevada desert with its own immigration policy, own laws, and own system of government? oof. How about a Russian charter city in the middle of England? You know, to dry-run totalitarianist pseudo-communism?

Even Shenzhen doesn't match the Romer definition which involves a foreign benefactor. Shenzhen is in China, administered by the Chinese. That may be why it works.
> The majority of support engineering tasks are performed using an internally-built application called SuperUser or SU for short, which is used to perform basic management functions of Okta customer tenants.

Pretty ominous name. I wouldn’t hand out “super user” accounts to support engineers from contracting firms for “basic duties in handling inbound support queries”.
If accurate, this is a huge red flag for investors. Ignore at your peril. That which begins in chicanery will continue that way. Such cities could only survive intact if everything is above board from the start. There is no time where things will suddenly move from sketchy to transparent.
That’s absurd. That’s like saying car owners should be held responsible for how safe their car is to drive. It makes unrealistic assumptions about the competency of the end user to judge such things.

I don't need someone gaslighting me about an article that I've just read. Here is what it says:

"The Times also errs by utterly failing to grapple with the problem that “cancelling” represents free speech and free association."

It's a strawman conundrum that White constructs all on his own. It might seem very clever to people who think freedom of speech is some kind of mechanistic rule to puzzle over. Not clever at all when one considers the reason why it became a value for modern societies.

Not only White conflates the two behaviors I mentioned in my post above, he reinforces the confusion by equivocating a riot at Berkley with ridiculing someone.
And of course the smoke inhalation from sending smoke signals.

Good for you, I in no small way envy your dedication to your work (despite choosing to work 30 hour weeks myself).

Would you say the reward is commensurate for your effort?
I've been using Unity professionally for large indie/AA development for a few years now. Before that I did five years of AAA with Frostbite. I've also used a bunch of other engines, including Unreal, in my spare time.

Unity is definitely a very stable engine with a lot of features and very nice and simple to work with. I know several developers who see Unity as a better alternative than Unreal for any scale because the development process is so smooth. As a graphics programmer I feel liberated by how easy it is to set things up.

I've also looked into performance quite a lot and it's not bad. There are issues, especially on certain platforms, and a lot of gotchas. But their analysis tools are really mature and help solve a lot of issues without having to load up external tools. It's definitely possible to make beautiful and performant Unity games.

This is the view they want to promote. What they don't want you to know is that the engine keeps churning out half baked features which never get fully fleshed out or documented properly. A lot of indie developers also complain about support but at least with their enterprise support you often get swift and helpful answers.
I'm sorry, but this doesn't sound like an argument. It sounds like wishful thinking. I get it, I like the promise of the project, but if true, then the project is stillborn
