Good to know even the ProArt B550 has the same issue (I have the B550 Vision D-P) because I was half-considering swapping for the ProArt B550 (which would ruin the white aesthetic I'm going for, but fine), but if it doesn’t have two DP inputs, that’s a no go. It’s possible the DP 1.4 on the Studio Display would be enough to provide bandwidth on the TB4 connector, but I'll have to wait for others to try it first in the hackintosh forums or elsewhere.
This is 100% a side-effect of GitHub. Open Source used to have the additional barrier of mailing lists to detract from "drive-by PRs". The side effect, of course, is that it made it much harder to get involved. GitHub really brought a lot of new eyes on open source software and lowered the barrier to contribute exacerbating (an argument could be made for creating) the drive-by PR problem.
And even if someone can do it, it may raise the cost enough to make it not worth it.
There was recently a thing I worked on where there were multiple similar things that needed to be done. Rather than finishing the beginning of A and then the beginning of B and then C, I opted to finish ALL of A then all of B then all of C. This way, what I learned when working on all of A, I could use to make better decisions about the beginning of B. Then what I learn from doing all of B would be used to help make the beginning of C even better.

If I did all the beginnings first, I'd then go back to doing the middle of A and realize I did the beginning wrong and have to go back to fix the beginnings of B and C.
I think people have some big misunderstandings about power. You’re right, centralized systems can lead to monopolies. On the other hand, decentralized systems where no one has absolute power can make important changes difficult to implement. See: changes to Bitcoin and Ethereum’s protocols to address issues with mining.
Okay.

The disconnect here is what you think that I think web3 to be.

I recognize the decentralized capabilities and find it marginally interesting and optional when convenient.

I don't think it is a sales pitch. And therefore I dont think the whole concept is a con. I empathize with people that come to the space and products within the space for an inaccurate sales pitch.

I like the platforms. I would be fine with an optional EVM that was not censorship resistant, where I could deploy my existing products on simply because the code was compatible. I want the other censorship resistant ones to exist too. You are assuming I care about the sales pitch and am trying to sell that fantasy. I think people should be aware of how to use that part of the technology.
I didn't see much "D good". There was a bit of "Specific R bad", but they only quoted that left-wing rags like the National Review to back up that what they said was bad. I won't repeat them, because they were less half-truths and more "meritless to the point of demagoguery" - (National Review).
> Schultz wrapped up Peanuts because he had terminal cancer. He died shortly afterward.

In fact, his last strip was printed as he passed away. At the time, newsprint was the primary (only?) distribution method for Peanuts.
None of the issues here are related to being cloud native. If you are completely on-prem, but your employees are remote the same social engineering attacks would work on your organization.

The issue is with companies having absolutely garbage security practices.
The initial "rules" of the internet did not come from any legislation. They were not forced into existence, because the internet is a decentralized system. It's rational people finding out that trusted systems actually do work for most cases, and they work SIGNIFICANTLY better and with less problems than decentralized systems. So eventually, everyone used centralized systems because that was the rational thing to do, and it reached a critical mass where you assume anyone who is not part of the establish trusted system is malicious (which is true, 99% of the time).

>surveillance scandals, security incidents, and technological innovations have turned data retention into more of a liability than an asset

LOL! I actually cannot believe that you seriously think this. Yes, Apple is very big on privacy. It is not the reason that people buy Apple products outside of a very small portion of users. And data retention, collection, tracking, etc. is such a gigantic business and is so central to the very function of tech giants that you are actually completely deluded if you think that "data collection is a liability". Almost nobody cares about their data. They are happy to give it up for free in exchange for being able to use websites and services. And why wouldn't they? I don't care how much you think that you are private, how much you think you've bested the giant tech companies with entire teams of the smartest engineers on the planet figuring out how to optimally harvest more data, how much you think you've been able to seclude yourself from the 99% of rational people. You have lost. You have no privacy, period. Privacy as a concept has been dead for years, so the only people who even value it anymore are people like you who think they can somehow best this system.
No, sorry but I don't think you understood the article. Readiness probes don't fix this. In fact, they could exacerbate the problem (although you obviously need them anyway). The problem is Kubernetes and the Load Balancer react to pod status changes at different times. (In fact, it's worse - different Kubernetes components also react to status changes at different times.) The load balancer is almost always too slow to react, so, it sends traffic to an instance that has already started shutting down.

An article I wrote about a fascinating pre-Roman British counting system, that happens to sound hilarious.
Yes, and nowhere in the paragraph or comment you pulled that quote from does it claim that providing updates reduces the lifespan of the device.

I clearly explained how aspects of how updates are handled can reduce device lifespan.

Apple has issues, but the length of time they support their devices is pretty good. It would be even better if they hadn't spent lots of time working to prevent devices older than the 6s from running any software not approved by apple.

As a counter example look at how Sonos handled the S1 to S2 transition. Deliberately bricking functional devices to reduce the second hand market. Not only discontuing updates to S1 speakers that had been bought new only a few years before, but also blocking updates to any S2 devices on the same network as a S1 device. Both of these policies were adjusted afterwards only after they garnered bad publicity and sparked a public outcry.

What is a "mind tool" and how is it "powered by AI"?
> No, the bots are the reason the goods are scarce.

It is possible that bots are creating artificial scarcity, but that would require either one bot to corner the market or collusion among enough bots to control prices. It seems equally plausible to me that RPIs would be scarce regardless.

Fermi surface is on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_surface

Turns out it's not a super esoteric concept. It is a "map of where the electrons are", but (and of course the uni PR won't tell you this) it's not a literal position map, it's a map in momentum space. And like you say, it's focused on the highest energy electrons. So it's really saying how the highest energy electrons are distributed in momentum space.
Okta’s Investigation of the January 2022 Compromise
The DAO fork only directly rolled back that single transaction, right?
There are some use cases for blockhains, namely cryptocurrencies and their unregulated nature. There have been plenty of times that I didn't want to hand over my name and address for an online purchase, but the traditional payment systems aren't set up for privacy.

Payment providers also discriminate against certain aspects of society, such as sex work. The fees an adult content provider needs to pay are astronomical if they can even get a contract with any payment provider at all. Furthermore, the USA has a severe problem that stems from companies like Equifax deciding what you can and cannot afford with no way to protest their decisions.

I suppose the only useful use case for blockchain is close to money laundering, but there are definitely legitimate use cases for it. It's the closest thing we have to cash in the online world.

While I'm all for regulating shitcoins and the gambling ("speculation") that accompanies them, it's an alternative that will need to exist as long as the normal payment system continues to force their own arbitrary, corrupt ideologies on everyone.
Apple suggested that people would care about privacy, and there was skepticism. Of course, privacy had been the status quo in an earlier era of the internet, and the lack of privacy didn't enable much in terms of novel user experience (turns out all the crap about "people would rather have personalized ads" was crap).

Now a crowd of people are suggesting something very different: that people wouldn't care about giving up the conveniences of today's centralized systems. But we do have experience with a less centralized web, and it wasn't a lack of "web3" tech that resulted in the centralized systems gaining their current position. It was open competition with the less-centralized old status quo. The centralized systems that won are very different than the older centralized systems that had lost - AOL tried to force everything inside of its wall; Facebook and Twitter merely extend their reach so that they can touch everything, and won out as aggregators vs doing in-house content production.

So why would the desire to have such convenient, one-stop-shop, minimal-setup centralized aggregator services go away?
Everytime someone says "boost", everybody screams!
Ask HN: Is there any alternative to Codesandbox for TUI's?
Say I want to build a TUI app using React Blessed or ink, I want then to share code with someone to run it and see the results live, like codesandbox with web pages.

Is there such a website?
Not my downvote but I believe when you do the math the equation goes like this:

(reduction in functionality) + (fewer options) + (loss of user control) + (handicapped operation) + (hardware underutilization) = higher prices for everyone

This is not including things like (planned obsolescence) which are intended to make things more expensive without raising the sales price.
> And here it is. When the technical merits of “web3” fail to illicit genuine change (networks effects are powerful and matter [0]), its advocates fall back on the “get in or stay out” mentality, which is frankly a red flag for a supposedly technical project.

Interesting thing to focus on over and over, OPs article had the non sequiturs about having fun not getting rich. The irony being that it’s a meme in crypto and they chose to be a caricature of that meme, personified. I feel like you didn't read the article. What you responded to is for people that read the article.

Opensea is 2 products. One is a storefront for technophobes to try and configure their art on the opensea platform before turning it into an NFT. The other is an NFT reader for NFTs made by people that know what theyre doing. Only the latter is relevant because thats the whole NFT economy, but the former is the thing more people try their hand at so I can see how that is distracting to conversation. The latter NFTs cannot be taken down by OpenSea they can be hidden from their GUI. They would not be hidden by your GUI.
Why is this sad? We live in a world of Ikea furniture and cabinetry, of fast food and passionate gourmet, there's room in the world for the convenient and the passionate tinkerers. Everyone is different and likes to allocate their time in different places. My partner will not put a sticker on her laptop that she hasn't designed and drawn herself, while I type on a handmade desk. That there are easy and hard ways to do things is fantastic; it means I can pick the lazy choice for things I don't care for and the passionate things for those I do. Do you really want a world where everyone cares about the same things you do? I feel the world is better for its diversity.
I think the clojure syntax, with those symbols differentiated, is a pretty great choice.

The choice of default meanings is good too, lists/application, indexed sequences and k/v mappings are useful widely used primitive constructs (clojure makes sets (the math meaning, unordered collection, no dupes) with #{} which is handy).

It cleans up the code nicely, having these literals, and now I find non-clojure styles to be a bit annoying to read with the extra noise from contructor function calls.

And when describing data/DSLs using these literals people generally carry the general meanings over, so things can be a bit more intuitive. And in a lot of places just using ('s and ['s in a way that makes it easy to disambiguate them when reading some DSL or literal value also makes for nicer reading of code (just in terms of a bit less mental parsing effort).

I'm the type to not be immediately a fan of extra syntax added to a lisp, but I've been convinced that edn notation is pretty wonderful and I've been converted.
I had to build bespoke orchestration and access layers.

The gulf between "parallel ssh and a bunch of bash scripts" and "Ansible/Salt/etc" is a huge one.

I wrote an access layer framework that abstracts cli command delivery to nodes, has a configuration layer where env / cluster / datacenter / rack / individual node configuration settings can be applied in a cascading/overriding fashion.

I use this to do adhoc stuff (using the groovy shell) as well as write backup and restore and other automation programs. They can run from the IDE and be debugged, they can run from CLI.

I have a crude directory tree organized "workflowish" organization to spawning cassandra, kafka, zookeeper, elasticsearch, etc clusters and tearing them down.

It works better than parallel. ssh and bash scripts by far, but I'm the only one that knows it. Is it "better" than just using Ansible or Salt or Kubernetes? Uh... don't know. Ansible got thrown out as messy (it became a massive monorepo). Our stateless servers haven't even fully jumped to k8s. Salt has too many servers.

I'll try to open source it, but I doubt it will get traction. It will be useful for certain operations in Cassandra / Kafka / etc in that it is framework agnostic and isn't trying to take over the world, so we'll see.

They don't need to not like it. It's relative. They just have to like the new thing better.

Which shouldn't be hard when they're objectively maximizing engagement at your expense. The hard part is figuring out how to overcome the network effect.
Ah, yes, a system where you can steal an unlimited amount of money from somebody else without any possibility of recourse by just saying that they agreed and hoping that nobody notices, clearly this is better than a trusted processor with strict legal obligations and easy reversibility in the event of error.
In my case: infrastructure group declines to support different Java versions for different use cases. We have a lot of Spark 2.x code, like thousands of different jobs. Spark 2.x only supports Java 8.
Federated database systems are totally a thing also! It's not even that hard to set up a pub-sub system, service bus, or whatever. There's entire ecosystems of vendors that have turnkey or SaaS solutions in this space also.

People just forgot that these things can be done with boring old technology in the excitement of doing something hip and cool.
The reason it’s not that easy is that platform holders have contractual obligations with content providers about their content being secure. These obligations are an incentive to content production.

At the core of any protection boundary crossing is likely going to be a pipe flush (throwing away of tens or maybe 100+ instructions) - post spectre/meltdown we all understand that speculating past such a point into a differently privileged environment is very fraught.

I think this means we won't be seeing 'call gate' equivalents that perform close to subroutine calls on high end systems any time soon if at all
The "original" web3 before the cryptocurrency scammers claimed the term was all about the decentralized web with protocols like IPFS backing them. With IPFS, someone needs to host the data (either yourself or some service you pay) but the more popular your data is, the more hosts will have it cached and the quicker and cheaper the content loads.

Even now, after the surge of cryptocurrency gambling, products like NFTs often leverage IPFS to store data, since the blockchains themselves are absolutely useless for actually storing information and nobody wants their decentralized system to rely on someone else's server.
AD is still shockingly robust. For one thing, if you were using "ancient versions of Windows", your experience was different than today. Though FWIW, it's a personal frustration that built-in features of Windows Server have been left to rot on the vine a bit because a lot of the resources Microsoft had working on them got shifted to Azure, because the cloud is a cash printer. There are a lot of modern UI conveniences that on-prem AD doesn't have for no reason other than Microsoft would rather you move to the cloud and pay them monthly per head.

I suspect that if your title was SRE, and they still had some on-prem AD controllers, they were probably not maintained as well as a place who still calls their IT folks SysAdmins, if the titles are any hint on the general focus of tech stacks.
That would mean China scores points by showing restraint.

Bragging about the long hours you work is a (ironically low effort) way many people self-promote how valuable/important they are. I've noticed these people often do not mention exact what they've accomplished with all these hours, just the hours themselves are mentioned.
While I agree with the sentiment there, lapsus didn't get initial access via social engineering.

They used social engineering to stay ahead of detection.

My point is about that you have no way to isolate a cloud based build bot. No way to detect a threat, because AWS doesn't offer any APIs or pcap streams or anything. It's literally a black box from the perspective of an SOC.

And that is the security responsibility nobody wants to be part of. Neither AWS and neither the organization that rents the machine.
> Cities are a community of people and should be owned, operated, legislated by and accountable to the community, not outsiders.

Isn't that exactly what a charter city is? A city that's accountable to its own community, not to outsiders in the rest of the country.

> It's particularly relevant that Paul Romer proposed this at a Ted talk and then talked the Hondurans into it - citing Hong Kong as an example of a well-run charter city. Remember what happened there two years ago through present? [2] If that's your contemporary flagship... Yeah, that's pretty much what's going to happen to all of these soon-to-be-catastrophes.

Or you could have a country that respected the rule of law more than the CCP does (not a high bar), and was willing to accept the loss of control in return for the advantages of this kind of city.
Your order of operations is inverted. The existing data center providers have been doing this for a few decades. Equinox, Dell, and friends are the ones who do the build out, management, etc. If youre big enough theyll also build to suite, though at that size you probably have a lot of in house expertise as well.

AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc are the alternative to dealing with dedicated physical infrastructure and financing. Things like AWS Outpost are there to bridge the gap for companies/workloads that dont fit existing public cloud offerings.

Romer's charter cities relevant here [1] are not the same as for instance US charter cities [2], they just happen to share the name.

Per Wikipedia:

A charter city is a type of city in which a guarantor from a developed country would create a city within a developing host country. The guarantor would administer the region, with the power to create their own laws, judiciary, and immigration policy outside of the control of the host country.

Think Fordlandia, in Brazil. [3]

The town had a strict set of rules imposed by the managers. Alcohol, women, tobacco and even football were forbidden within the town, including inside the workers' own homes. Inspectors would go from house to house to check how organised the houses were and to enforce these rules. The inhabitants circumvented these prohibitions by paddling out to merchant riverboats moored beyond the town jurisdiction, often hiding contraband goods inside fruits like watermelons. A small settlement was established 8 kilometres (5 mi) upstream on the "Island of Innocence" with bars, nightclubs and brothels.

In 1930, the native workers grew tired of the American food and revolted in the town's cafeteria. This became known as the Breaking Pans (Portuguese: Quebra-Panelas). The rebels proceeded to cut the telegraph wires and chased away the managers and even the town's cook into the jungle for a few days until the Brazilian Army arrived and the revolt ended. Agreements were then made on the type of food the workers would be served.

Or the time the Dutch East India Company owned all of Indonesia and went a-massacrin'. [4]

> Or you could have a country that respected the rule of law more than the CCP does (not a high bar), and was willing to accept the loss of control in return for the advantages of this kind of city.

The question is of course, why? If it were built for the good of the locals it would just be built by the host government without an outside power, through partnerships and investment. When a foreign power looks to create such an exclave its generally because they can't get away with what they're trying to do at home.

If it genuinely is well-intentioned for the "good of the locals" then of course, well-off foreigners coming in and telling the locals what's what has a very long, and very poor track record. See: uh, basically anywhere.
