QubesOS inherently has a higher attack surface due to the features it's added to be more usable.

An AWS VM in the cloud I ssh into can't possibly snoop on another window I have open.

QubesOS on the other hand includes usability features like displaying graphical interfaces from VMs, clipboard sharing features, etc etc https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/gui/

These usability features increase attack surface, whether they're implemented on top of a Xen or KVM hypervisor.

My assumption for a local qemu setup is that the user wouldn't use things like 9p or display sharing, which I think means a smaller enough attack surface to make a difference.
Way before 1.0 (IIRC), Rust in fact used to have structural records, and wanted to try to only have them. But due to the challenges described by you and the article, they went back to regular nominal ADTs.

I do think think that was the right call at that time.
the biggie for me was that analytic window functions are either non-existent or experimental and must be achieved with array function hacks.

it does have nice built-in skew and kurtosis functions, though.
This was the tl;dr around that for me.

> It only recently occurred to me that what we actually needed was to grow up—get to know ourselves, learn to communicate. Trying to weasel out of all that with an app is, well, basically the entire value prop of Silicon Valley, but more importantly antithetical to growth. Managing your social life requires self-knowledge: Will you be in the mood next week? Will they be mad if you cancel? Will you have fun tonight even though you’re dragging your feet? The trick to answering these questions, I’m finding, is not technology or mind-reading or asking for surpluses of empathy. It’s to stop being a huge baby.

The 'baby' nomenclature, while definitely not polite, is a striking way to describe someone who isn't confident enough in their friendships or their self-understanding to bail on plans with honesty.

Also, the title of the substack is "Maybe baby" so probably playing on that.
You refuse to say what you mean by 'confiscated' or how that might work. Until you do so, it's meaningless and impossible to evaluate as an option. Frankly, you don't seem to have the slightest conception what 'wealth' actually is.

Wealth is control of economic assets - companies, resources and property. Transferring wealth means transferring that control. For example it means taking Tesla away from Elon Musk and giving it to someone else. So what I'm asking is, who would that control go to and how would it be exercised to better serve the average person? If you can't answer that question, you're not making a proposal it's possible to evaluate. I may disagree with Marxists, but at least they have an answer to this question.
My first thought as well, should we expect `prntscrnkeyhint` soon?

Not necessarily. For alt mode applications you'll be stuck with the 480MB/s data pins because the USB3 lines are repurposed.
As a professional photographer, I delete over 90% of smartphone photos I take right away. Noone will ever have time to look at all of it.

Even for commercial portrait shoots I end up using maybe 5% of the photos. Weddings are different - over 25% is usable.
> "Genuinely, would you be happy with just container isolation between you and other
customers of your cloud provider? Most people absolutely would not."

But that's exactly how VPS hosting works today - you don't get your own private blade unless you're ready to pay premium prices and have the competence needed to run them yourself. The technicalities of how private resources in a VPS are isolated from each other will differ, but the concept remains the same nonetheless.

People bite the bullet, only to be subject to things like rowhammer [1], or other container escape scenarios [2].

The top comment in this thread reflects the proper way of dealing with this: containers or sandboxes are may not be treated as a secure boundary.

Not an attempt to refute your points, but just some input. IG is the only social media platform I’m still on, and I don’t think anyone except meme accounts, influencers, brands are posting anymore.

1. My wife and I have been joking for a couple of years about the large number of old acquaintances & family members that follow us that haven’t posted in years. They still watch every story we post though!

2. IG just re-introduced the ability to sort your feed chronologically. When I first looked at my chronological feed, it was immediately clear that they took it away because there wasn’t enough new content anymore. I follow between 250-300 accounts and there is consistently less than 20 accounts posting a day (and those are mostly meme or ‘influencer’ accounts).

It is possible that I’m just following boring people though.
> As ridiculous as the US college system is in terms of cost, I'm happy things like this exist to at least give people more options.

The only people I want in an army are those who have freely and independently chosen to join the army and who have been psychologically and physically checked to be fit for service. The motivation of a soldier should exclusively be to serve their country, not financial or status (e.g. citizenship) gain.

People who have "chosen" because they have no other perspective to rise in life later-on should they survive their service or because they were pressured to do so by their family or friends have no place in the armed forces.

An army should strive for excellence - Putin's troops are the current showcase for entire generations to see what happens otherwise.

For the life of me I can't understand why any software engineer would want an under-powered machine that's optimized for battery life (i.e. a laptop.) I've worked from home and always opted to build my own PC (not that you can't find powerful pre-built desktops.)

If you need mobility, get a cheap laptop and remote into your powerful desktop machine.
> At RubyConf 2014 someone in the lunch queue asked what I did before I was in tech and asked me if I enjoyed killing babies when I explained.

To some extent your question is in the same category as the above. It decontextualizes the situation entirely. He lives in a democracy. He obviously believes that society is less worse than some visible alternatives. He therefore believes he can fight on its behalf based on what the democratic leadership determine. It's obviously possible for him to morally re-evaluate that at a later point: it might even cost him his life to do so. But his actions are morally considered whereas I think the question is morally thoughtless.

> with power to spare

...but without money to spare. If the desktop fits his needs there is nothing gained in replacing it with a proprietary and form-factor limited device like an Apple laptop unless he's hog-tied to the Apple world - which does not seem to be the case here.

I use a bunch of devices, some portable, some not. When I need something portable I take, let's say, a T42p running Linux. I'm typing this from a resurrected iMac 27" running Linux which sits next to a Compaq 6910p in a docking station connected to a 24" monitor. The iMac is the newest device at 12 years, that T42p is 17 years old yet it still works fine for most things as long as I can reach the server-under-the-stairs. Sure, that M1 makes for faster media consumption but... that is not what I use these things for. I also foresee a not-so-distant future where that M1 lies in a cupboard due to some malfunction - bad battery being the most likely - which is deemed too expensive to repair while most of those old devices around here still continue to work.
I don't really think it's unclear. I feel he definitely did this stuff. But I agree that it's unknown (at least from that source, heh :)) whether he did it in his home lab or at work.

I haven't taught a class, but I don't think that discredits my opinion at all. Why do you think it does?

I never said you don't need simplification, but the way article poses it is disingenuous at best. Eg. look at the example of multiplication they give and how it's "technically correct" to call multiplication mostly reducing numbers. Bollocks. Neither "making things bigger" nor "reducing numbers" is technically correct: neither applies.

The natural approach to learning multiplication is to work with objects, and thus natural numbers. That's why it's called "multiplication": you make multiples of something.

You can easily introduce negative numbers as being in debt for X things, and in that sense, multiplication still only increases your debt. Negative numbers are a shorthand for "you owe me this".

The next step is to introduce rational numbers, which are parts of something. That's pretty clear too. Then you introduce multiples of parts of something, and it all still makes sense (quarter of a quarter is now something slightly different). Particularly inclined students will "feel" that you are now entering somewhat abstract "multiplication".

Similar goes for real and complex numbers though that requires a bit of leap of faith.

This is a proper way to teach multiplication. It starts simple, yet it's never wrong.

The premise of the article makes it a come up with a completely unnecessary and untrue statement: "People generally multiply positive numbers greater than 1, so multiplication makes things larger." People mostly multiply natural numbers: this is what drives the intuition and naming of the operation (technically, this still falls under article's statement, but that one is unnecessarily technical in allowing only numbers greater than 1, and allowing rational and real numbers, though I am not sure where complex numbers fit in ;-)).

By focusing on technicalities, the article misses the natural way to simplify things which are never wrong.

Mathematics today is beautifully built from very simple concepts up. Depending on the level you are teaching at, it requires different levels of suspension of disbelief.
> First: I am not "my dude" to you.

Well, calling yourself "AnimalMuppet" you kind of set yourself up for dude-dom.
Absolutely, +1 for Syncthing. I use it for pretty much all of my devices at this point, and it's maybe failed me... once over nearly 12 months of daily usage? For not having a centralized sync server, it works so much better than it has any right to.
There are also products like these: https://www.amazon.fr/Concentrateur-Anker-adaptateur-PowerEx...

Don't know what they're worth, though.
I agree, with the caveat that it doesn't work with people acting in bad faith (e.g. liars, manipulators, narcissists). In those cases, communication often makes situations worse. Of course bad faith should never be assumed, but once it has been demonstrated, it's hard to forget—if someone was willing to lie once to get what he wanted, how do I know he'd be unwilling to lie again?

For the vast majority of people, though, communication is better.
Anker is a Chinese company incidentally. People often disparage "cheap Chinese" knock-offs, but the salient feature here is cheapness and dodgy branding, not the fact that they're made in China. Geopolitics aside, the Chinese are absolutely capable of building good stuff, as demonstrated by brands like Anker.
> When you presume a feeling for someone else, you're robbing them of their own agency.

Yes! I've done that too often, tiptoeing around things trying to game out all the possible ramifications. It's far better to simply try to:

* know your needs/desires

* communicate them

* ask about theirs

* handle the consequences

Even though it is straightforward, it may not be easy.
Consider that it's just an abstraction for "immaturity" and it seems to make more sense. They're not intending to shame someone - except perhaps themselves - for being a baby, they're just describing behavior (albeit, vaguely) as undesirable.
Interesting to see this compared to gaming consoles, which are much more popular I would guess. Somehow VR hasn't gone mainstream and it's been on the fence for a while now.
This isn't a positive. It is a tragedy that these services (education, healthcare) are difficult to obtain without military service in a supposedly developed country.
Let me jump on this opportunity to give a little unpopular opinion on the M1 MBP, after 1 year of using one (being completely new to apple), since most (all?) of the comments I have seen here are dithyrambic.

Granted, the hardware is great. Silence, good perf, no heating, amazing battery life. I love this.

The software part has not been that smooth for me:

- I use the python scientific stack, and it's not there yet. This will probably improve in the future, but for now, I'm stuck using rosetta stone and well the perf is not as good as it should be.

- I thought the stability of Mac OS X would amaze me. It did not. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely OK and I did not lose any work. But I have had to 'hard poweroff' the thing quite a few times.

- As a long time debian user, and for what I do (ML, image processing, simulations), linux is just less hassle in my opinion. Homebrew helps, yes, but feels so 'second-class' compared to [your favorite distro] package manager.
The leaders of cartels and triads also don't manufacture or sell drugs, they just profit off other people doing it. The money mules also don't actually touch any drugs.

Either way, profiting from the sale of illegal drugs is uncomfortably close to drug dealer.
Those 5 years were when Johny Ive had full reign over Apple design with no Jobs to keep him in check. I imagine engineers were screaming in agony but unable to do anything but work within these constraints that heavily prioritized form over function. It's really funny to see all Ive's bad ideas undone over the last 2 years — the touch bar, the lack of ports, the thinness taken to the extreme, etc.
That's the joy of buying at the low end. You never know what you're going to get!
I've not seen much issue from UEFI beyond mobo manufacturers occasionally releasing really buggy firmware.

UEFI also permits rather advanced features. For example, if a mobo manufacvtorer wanted to, they could theoretically code in support for using a USB monitor for the bootup display, enabling firmware access without any video adapter on board at all.

One can quite easily add new boot-loaders to the EFI system partition, and add the entries to NVRAM, making it possible to add add custom pre-boot diagnostics programs, or a small direct-boot emergency recovery kernel, or other fancy features.
What about the argument that technological growth and developments are the cause, or at least a catalyst, of all our problems rather than some part of the solution?

I don't think they were literally looking for an answer for this specific question, but pointing out how unsettling, at the very least, the lack of concrete answers is.

Anyway if they won't say it I will: signing up to fight without knowing who or why you'll be fighting is morally compromised at the extreme very best.

Modern economic powers like the UK do not use their militaries for self-defense. Someone able to write with his sophistication about the military knows what they use them for. In serving, and even in writing this piece of pro-military propaganda, he's supporting imperial violence.

I've kept half an eye on Redwood since the early days, but i'll have to give it a proper look.

My original understanding was that it was a static site generator, but this doesn't actually seem to be the case? In which case, i'm curious how the request waterfall problem is mitigated, given that the data loading is cell-oriented rather than interaction-oriented. My background with GraphQL comes from using Relay for 6+ years, so I'm used to there only being one query per interaction (pageview, click etc); whereas from the looks of Redwood, the nature of cells seems to indicate there can be multiple queries, potentially cascading ones involved in building a single screen.
Technically you don't need a degree to be an officer in the UK: you only need A Levels (finish high school) to go to Sandhurst and begin officer training. In reality however something like 98% of Sandhurst applicants are university graduates. I don't know the exact percentage of entrants who don't have a degree though, so don't quote me. It has been a while.

P.s. as a famous example, I believe Prince Harry went to Sandhurst without going to university first.

That's right. Twitter has problems, but that's not one of them. What are the problems?

1. It has a free speech problem. The defacto public town square doesn't believe in free speech!

2. It has a political problem. Twitter bends the knee to the loudest activists and is sympathetic to a specific political party. The town square has been captured by a political party. It doesn't matter which one because being captured by any party is a problem. The town square must be neutral. Free and open debate is paramount for society to progress.

3. It has an anger problem. Twitter rewards anger and fear.

4. It has a transparency problem. How does the algo work? Who are they shadowbanning and downranking and why? What topics do they remove on trending? Which do they boost?

What else?

> Though to address the GP a bit, the problem of concurrent writers without a sequencer (like a database) is less common than you might think.

My point was that even if you have a single non-scaleout database with a single time source, a sequence or a timestamp or a combination of both isn't as reliable a sequencer as you might think, unless you have at most one writer.

Thus, I think a "standard" should encourage a cursor concept that can use something that may reliably provide _all_ changes. If you have a single writer, you have a pretty easy job implementing that, as a plain sequence would work. (A timestamp could still break on clock adjustments, though)

This pertains to the "data replication" part of the listed goals, where getting everything is more important than in e.g. a social media news feed style thing where chronological order may be tenable - or less consequential if an item is missed.
