Yes it has materialized somewhat. The UEFI and Secure Boot are not the issue here - neither is uBoot/fastboot on phones. The issue is who holds the keys - if it is the owner of the device, then great! But most laptops and phones don't allow you to set your own keys, just Microsoft's or OEM's, and that is what the issue is. Linux distributions work around this by either explicitly requiring disabling Secure Boot / Unlocking the bootloader, or having Microsoft sign a shim that they can use and using that allow the user to add additional trusted keys.
precisely thats the point. if its open source then people can dig these things and twitter can't manipulate the crow at scale.
So one of the things I like about Tiktok is you get exposed to something you normally wouldn't and it can be fascinating. One example of this I had an Air Force recruiter pop up on my fyp. This is obviously US-centric (as opposed to the article, which is the UK) but here are some things I've learned:

1. The difference between Reserve and Guard? Reserve is Federal, Guard is State (this was news to me);

2. Signing up for the Guard or Reserve is typically a 6 year commitment;

3. Your commitment begins when you sign up but you can defer your enlistment for up to a year;

4. You can sign up having completed your junior year in high school and defer training until after you graduate (which I think you have to anyway) but that's 1 of your 6 years down already;

5. Reservists get tuition assistance of up to $9,000/year;

6. Assuming a 4 year college degree and early enlistment, you can graudate with 5 years of your 6 year commitment done;

7. For one weekend a month and 2 weeks a year, you typically get $250-300/month (plus active duty pay where appropriate);

8. You also get medical and dental insurance.

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. If you go to college, the above can amount to $50,000 plus benefits over a 6 year period.

>Most people have some big misunderstandings about what the Army is like, and some have a very negative reaction to the whole idea.

"Some" in Tech is likely an understatement. At least pre Ukrainian Russia War era.

The closest thing I got to the Army was CCF. Something I wish my kids could experience as well.

My motivation for seeking help from a different physical therapist was so I could pick up my infant without gritting my teeth from the pain in my lower back. Practicing lifts, which I'd never done before, using my core muscles made a huge difference; I felt hopeful again, and was much more functional.

Because we had the checks for it in flight. Also, more often than not these same blocks had been checked before, and found to be fine.

> The only correct way to test for bitrot is to read the data back immediately

No, the only correct way is to read it back after some time has passed. Mis-written data is not the same as bitrot.

> must be corrected or it must not be returned

Every error-correction technique has a limit to how many simultaneous errors it can correct. Beyond that, bits can be flipped in a way that seems valid but in fact is not (detectable by cross-checking with other erasure-coded fragments of the same block on other machines). Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. As I said, and as others have said many times, with sufficient scale and time even the most unlikely scenarios become almost inevitable. Why do you persist in telling me I didn't see what I saw with my own eyes? Are you assuming that my thirty years in storage gave me less understanding or insight regarding these issues than whatever experience (if any) you have?

Same thing with FCA as far back as '08, if not earlier.

My 08 Jeep Grand Cherokee had a UConnect radio, but if you touched either of the UConect buttons you got an angry NOT EQUIPPED WITH UCONNECT message. Apparently a $400 dealer add-on. Looked at installing it myself and half of it was reprogramming the vehicle with specific software to tell it it had the module, and then "update the sales records" to make it appear as an option on any future Moroney labels.

Yes, the new website we launched today is built with Redwood (except docs are done with Docusaurus). We're still doing some optimizations, but you are indeed looking at a Redwood app!
J feels a lot like Smalltalk and Lisp to me. If you got on board early, you could do all sorts of stuff other languages struggled to make easy and performant. Hence the set of dedicated users. And there are some genuinely interesting conceptual things going on in array languages which have real appeal. But in the end I think J reflects a previous era and hasn't caught up to really useful ideas in more contemporary languages, probably because its user base is too conservative.

I wouldn't recommend people use XLisp or run Genera in a VM to solve real problems. Recommending J feels like that to me.
> The Muslims greatly suffered under the Mongol Empire's trail of destruction

Arabs did. The ottoman turks, muslim persians, etc benefited greatly. If the mongol empire was so destructive, we wouldn't have had the ottoman empire - the greatest muslim empire in history.

It's absurdly exaggerated.

> Yet, it is a great page in our history to have dealt the first major blow to them in the Battle of Ain Jalut[1], saving the world from God knows what horrid things they would have continued had they been left unchallenged.

What horrid things did they do? Other than convert to islam and entrench islam in the places they conquered?

As opposed to the arabs who wiped out non-islamic religions in areas they conquered. All you have to do is look at iran/persia. The arabs conquered persia and wiped out zoraostrians. The mongols conquered persia and didn't wipe out islam. And if it wasn't for the mongols, the islamic world would have been conquered in the 1200s rather than in the 1800s. After all, it was the arrival of the mongols in the middle east than ended the crusades.

Those are the rules of using the platform. Not sure why enforcing the rules would be considered a bad thing. If you don’t like it, advocate for changing the rules.

Seems far more inappropriate if Twitter were to selectively apply their T&C out of deference to some and not others.
I'm starting to come out of the dark night of the soul that started when I burned out in 2019 just before the pandemic. I've begun to feel emotions again like boredom, impulsiveness, even stuff like competitiveness, which I let go of while working through ego death.

It's not much, but what really helped me was flipping things around and seeing myself from other people's perspective. Like, feeling a calling to do something to help others or even the whole world, and doing that instead of browbeating myself to be more productive or finish something. Then harmonies have something to emerge from. I don't really know how to articulate it yet, but I think that motivation comes from love.
Isn't this sort of an orthogonal problem? Flow typing implies that your type is in some way unknown at the time the code fragment is evaluated. I think this can mostly happen in two situations:

1) The type is generic: A function may be called with a different type on each call site - but for each particular call site, the type is known at compile time.

2) The type is polymorphic - i.e. the full type is not known at compile time at all.

When the first case occurs, a compiler could either go the C++ way and generate different, non-generic variants of the function - or go the Java way and just pretend the type is polymorphic.

For the "C++" option, I think flow typing would fit very well without introducing additional complexity: For each variant the compiler generates, it knows which concrete type is used, so it can evaluate the condition at compile-time and just drop the branches that don't apply for a particular variant of the function.

For polymorphic types, on the other hand, the additional complexity is already priced in: You need some kind of mechanism to represent values of different structure anyway (pointers, unions, whatever) - so flow typing wouldn't be much more than some syntactic sugar to save you from writing casts you'd have to do anyway.

Svelte is better than React
Most people in the West, including myself, knew nothing about Bandera until perhaps a month or so ago, so I'm not sure what you mean by "he's more favored in the West" unless you meant Western Ukraine. He has tons of monuments and streets named after him throughout Ukraine (someone in this thread pointed out the exact number), so I'm not sure how you could claim he is "not on a pedastal".

Funny how you leave out the crimes committed by the U.S. and its allies in the Middle East, how are chemical weapons in Syria and ISIS relevant to my point? Why didn't you mention the mass killings of civilians carried out by the U.S. in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan which the U.S. never accounts for (and when it does it basically says "oops, it was an accident, but not our fault". The mass sale of weapons by the U.S./UK to Saudi Arabia in atrocities in Yemen? Bringing back slave markets to Libya? Mass starvation of Afghanistan by witholding money which belongs to them by the U.S.? Mass murder of Iranians via sanctions by the U.S. for ripping up its own deal? I haven't even mentioned the horrendous amount of hypocrisy on the Israel/Palestine issue.

With respect to South America, perhaps those crimes are older, but they are still within memory. Support for Pinochet and the UK refusing to prosecute him for his crimes (of course, with the explicit support of the U.S.)? The countless interventions by the U.S. in South America over the last 50 years (funny how no one said anything about the U.S. not being allowed to have a sphere of influence back then)? Ongoing right now...mass murder via sanctions on Venezuela and Cuba for daring to exercise their own sovereignty?

The West is so hypocritical that the rest of the world (unfortunately) does not care about Ukraine. It is not the Ukrainians' fault, but frankly countries like China and India are not going to commit economic suicide by refusing to purchase Russian oil/gas, when they know the U.S. and its client states commit war crimes all over the world that are just as bad as what is going on in Ukraine and turn a blind eye to their own crimes.

> Whether it's kernel/OS or a bare metal hypervisor isn't really all that meaningful: exploits and vulnerabilities exist for either.

This is just not true, or at least it's extremely disingenuous.

Container isolation relies on the Linux kernel. Other than seccomp-denied syscalls (which aren't a thing in k8s by default) any program in the container has full access to the kernel. The Linux kernel has massive attack surface, especially to root users.

VM isolation like Firecracker is much safer. The attack surface is considerably lower. For one thing, you can isolate the process in the guest just as well as you could outside, further limiting attack surface. But more importantly, an attacker either has to attack:

1. Firecracker

2. KVM

Both are very small codebases.

Firecracker is:

1. Written in Rust.

2. Sandboxed aggressively.

KVM has basically never had a public guest to host breakout. You can read about one here, https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/06/an-epyc-escap...

So, to recap, we have "security boundary relies on a fully exposed Linux kernel" and "security boundary relies on hardened, tiny, security-driven programs".

It is not even close.

> There should be proper hardware-level isolation here, depending on the scenario. Most cloud companies can't afford that though, because they're not rolling out their own hardware.

As someone with both an M1 and various intel and AMD machines.

The M1 tends to outclass most laptops (primary in single thread based workloads) but they are well down the ladder of performance in comparison to what is possible to put in a desktop form factor.

The mac studio seems to take a nice bite out of those options as well, but its not a laptop either, and depending on workload its quite likely still loses pretty bad if the desktop is tuned to the workload (aka toss a couple 3090's in, or a threadripper/etc for massively parallel stuff, or faster disks, etc).

People who are stuck in the laptop mindset, seem to forget that desktops have a lot of add in card/etc flexibility for workload tuning. Need a 100Gbit network card, just plug it in, need 2T ram pick a motherboard with support/etc.

Think about what this (somewhat randomly picked) motherboard can do, that you can't get from an apple device.

An interesting subtle distinction is the one between problems that stay in the same complexity class as you loosen the approximation requirements and problems that drop to lower ones.
It may have improved recently -- I haven't measured -- but serial Eigen seems mostly a little less performant at plateau than optimized BLAS GEMM for reals, and about half as good for complex in results I've seen for v3.3. For multiplication/convolution of sufficiently small dimension matrices on x86 (aarch64 in development) you probably want libxsmm; it can be used header-only -- at least for C -- if that matters. I might guess Eigen does relatively better on L1 and L2 than BLAS libraries.
One reason would be that you don't like shitty laptops. Any other laptop (I tried top end Dells, Lenovos and Asuses) are much worse in all things considered.

Even the 2016-2021 MBPs were at best comparable to models of these other brands, never worse. Do you not like fans when you Google Meet? How about fans when you look at your desktop or start your computer?
I'd love to hear a comparison between this and Next.js if someone has used both.
I don't know if I could classify it as "incredibly valuable in almost all contexts". I have no idea what it's like to have such imagery for comparison. I dream, but cannot remember them beyond tiny details. I've had those nights where I wake up really wanting to remember a dream, but it's like trying to hold water in my palm. However, I also know when my eyes are closed because it's just pitch black (though I can tell if there's a bright light and some direction), so I know when dreaming is over quite easily.

I wonder if some of my love of word play comes from being able to just "reorient" around a concept easily. I can also read upside down or in a mirror (but not if both transforms are applied) at reasonable speed. The former was quite handy in groupwork in school because I could just sit on the other side of the table or desk and follow along instead of crowding around.

> When I read his original post and first learned about aphantasia, realized that most people have a functioning 'mind's eye', it was one of the weirdest days of my life.

The strangest thing I found is that, with hindsight, the clues are everywhere. Functioning "mind palaces", eyewitness testimony, the ability to even slightly help a sketch artist. I remember being in a yoga class and they told us to imagine "three circles around yourself". I was thinking of the circles orbiting like moons; apparently everyone else had them as concentric circles centered on themselves. I could easily flip between them, but others thought it weird how I "saw" it at first.

No. The abuses perpetuated by religions justify discontinuing adherence, regardless of worldview. New wine, old bottles do not mix as the parable about the wine bottles (or skins, at the time) dictates.
Not all work requires massive computing power locally. I find the "squid" much less of a hassle than having to sync stuff between two computers. Especially with "newer" computers that can be charged over USB-C. You only plug that one cable, and you've got your screens, keyboard, wired network up and running.

I used to the two PCs for a while, but a single computer is so much easier to deal with.

Pretty much. Flow typing like TypeScript does it is only really sensible when your run-time supports dynamic typing but your compiler checks types statically. In other words only a language similar to TypeScript could have a type system similar to TypeScript's.

Syncthing has worked fairly well for this. It has some caveats, and I don't recommend syncing anything other than some specific directories in your home folder to avoid conflicts with syncing config and cache folders.

What I synced:
~/files (contains all my projects, cat pictures etc.)
~/ide (contains just the IDE installation and other apps)
~/.ssh
I would not that this query behavior (sorted data columns bitmasked together) is further orthogonal to primary-data storage representation. For example, Postgres can give you this same behavior if you declare a multi-column GIN index across the columns you want to be searchable.
If your work environment is reproducible this shouldn't be an issue. Nix works well for me personally.

Another boon is that if your system goes kaput for whatever reason, you've already done the legwork to immediately get up and running again.
If you store your energy in a smaller volume, it gets easier to protect. It gets harder again if you want to store more energy, but the density by itself is a positive.
