The proposed system itself should be fairly portable and in its idea reminds me of SELinux. The problem is SELinux knowledge isn't widespread, it's Linux-only (so no support for OS X and Windows which are the majority of JS developer machines), and especially it operates on a syscall level - which is perfectly fine to limit filesystem access (=for all nodejs processes, limit file I/O to the parent directory of node_modules?), but only barely unusable to sandbox network access.

Therefore it makes the most sense to define a standard for configuring capabilities/permission whitelists/grant requests/(however else you want to name it) and leave the implementation up to the platform/language.
I was actually debating Devuan, but I am kinda afraid of jumping ( maybe I will put it in VM first ). How difficult(long it took to) was it to create a good working environment for you?
Terraform is roughly the equivalent to a Makefile. If anything it reduces complexity by encouraging operations to be run in a reproducible and testable fashion. Is it a layer? Sure, but little more than a shell script is a layer.
>If e.g. you're mainly using the computer for gaming, playing the latest and most demanding games, then you can easily eliminate any other operating system than Microsoft Windows from the list, because almost nothing will work as well on any other operating system.

I think this needs to be qualified. There are many reasons to not want to use Windows, and if the want to use something other than Windows outweighs the cost, then Linux still may be a better choice.

Linux can run games now, even those developed for Windows [0], and even having anti-cheat isn't an absolute blocker anymore [1].

While I understand the sentiment Mr Sheikh is trying to express, this kind of unqualified sweeping statement is helping to keep misconceptions spreading even though much progress has been made.

This is a weird "open letter" but okay.

I feel like Puppet, for whatever reason, has lost out on things and Ansible won, which is quite unfortunate as Ansible is just not as good as Puppet. I wonder if Preforce will be able to revive the interest in Puppet.

Anyway, if someone plans to move away from Puppet (I imagine someone will, because someone always disagrees with a buyout), I've recently found mgmt[0] which has Puppet-lang compatibility. A big plus (to me anyway) is that it's not Ruby based, and is instead written in Go.

I have a side gig B2B SaaS. My business users don't care if it's $1/year or $1000/year or $10,000/year. It's the same HUGE amount of paperwork for them either way, so the right answer is $10,000/year. I do allow very long trials.

I do still consider offering a "free" tier, but with the limitation that there is no free support, and each support incident will cost them $200. But then I remember what I said above.
Yep I was confused reading through it. Only at the end in the FAQ was it clear what they were saying.

Van investment: from $5,000 to $175,000, but more likely $20,000-$50,000.

Camp site fees: $0-50/day.

I think an edit button could improve Notion’s UX for small touchscreen devices where drag gesture is used for both scrolling and editing, but it would make the product worse for larger screen devices with precise pointing. It’s better to work hard in order to build the ideal product, than to make developers lives easy at the cost of a worse product.

Headlights do burn out. I'd rather not pay $1,000-$2,000 to replace my headlights since they are LED built into the headlight. I'd much rather have auto headlights be mandated. Even that can be a pain in the ass if you have HID bulbs and travel in areas where they turn on and off often reducing the life of them.

I think the big point missing in all the comments that suggest linking to the db file and distributing is that it's read-only. Perhaps this is the intent too, but often Excel books are shared for other people's input /additions/ corrections to data. When it's linked to a backend database that's no longer trivial. Whereas just using base rows/ columns it's immediately read & write access.
We use git for all software projects, SVN for all hardware projects. I am not certain about the reasons why hardware department still uses SVN. Probably because every hardware engineer is familiar with SVN and it works for them.

I think your source is overstating it. OED says "a letter addressed to a particular person or persons but intended for a more public readership, as by deliberate publication in a newspaper or journal.", which sounds about right to me.

Microservices in 10 minutes – Minos tutorial
Simply comparing search results between publications really ignores the context of the stories and how they develop. People think that all newspapers should put out the exact same amount of content on each topic all of the time, but it's never worked that way.

Again, Breonna Taylor's story became an example of the case against the status quo of policing in America. Her story was elevated precisely because it was yet another example of injustice carried out by police that ultimately went unpunished. Community leaders and activists elevated this story on racial grounds because they believed it was important to do so.

Who in Duncan's community elevated his story? Who thought it was important to tell the story that a white guy died in a similar situation? It was covered as an event in the press when it happened, but it didn't get the kind of traction that Taylor's did because it ultimately didn't have the community support. Who would be the white equivalent of an Al Sharpton talking about how whites are mistreated by police? I really struggle to name someone that fits that description.
Electric leaf blowers are still noisy.
I'd disagree:

The way modern Linux distros work is that a number of volunteers who pay attention to what's going on upstream package software for users and developers. When something gets weird these volunteers change their behavior and prevent the users from being harmed (the recent Audacity mess is a great example of this.) I don't think people pushing eg cargo/node/snap appreciate how safe this has made their OS and languages that rely on distro package managers (such as C.)

You get the safety that you might expect from an app store without actually restricting anyone's freedom. It's very much like a church with elders preventing people from being captured by vices and whatnot. Yes it has issues but it works shockingly well, much better than many of the alternatives.
Maybe this is true then:

On the contrary, I'm not upset at all, do you claim to be able to read minds?

I actually did, and responded to it. Your analogy is a bad one.
I think Bitcoin also lives from the fact that there is complex Mathematics and Financial reasoning behind that usually nobody thinks about because it just works. (Great cult material) So any time someone explains Bitcoin to an outsider, the outsider will be overwhelmed by unverifiable facts and astonished by people who made a lot of money with it.

Also I don't buy anymore that Bitcoin is resilient to inflation. Inflation is a financial symptom but caused by a failing real economy. Dividing out the inflation just leads to other malfunctions...

I never dismissed anyone's hardship. Read the first line of my comment again.

The intention of pointing that out was in response to a specific comment. Context matters.

I want police violence to stop. Period. I want them to be held accountable for their actions. But when an article talks about the way law enforcement treats people of different classes with two different standards, and someone starts complaining that black people are getting more media attention, I feel obligated to reference the reason why, without dismissing anyone's hardship. Again, context.

These days, for performance reasons most of the old "development VMs" (=Vagrant or worse) got replaced by Docker containers - orders of magnitude less effort.

And in any case a dedicated VM is not going to protect you against attacks on your network, unless you go the full route of using a VPN to provide internet connectivity to the VM, and let's be honest almost no developer is going to do that simply because how much effort and maintenance it requires.
Glorified autocomplete? Autocomplete can guess the next word .. sometimes, GPT-3 goes hundreds of words ahead. On generic topics it can be hard to distinguish from human text.

And it can't cache tokens because all tokens are evaluated in the context of all the other tokens, so they don't have the same representations when they reoccur at different positions.
IMG wasn't considered important enough to be a strategic asset unlike ARM. Remember IMG was on the verge of bankruptcy or collapse. Apple, representing 70% of their revenue will somehow no longer be paying them a single penny. They had lots of baggage that were not part of Graphics IP from Wireless, MIPS, to IoT.

ARM had Mali. So on the surface UK isn't really losing any strategic asset.

And you have to remember, this was in 2016 / 2017. The world still doesn't know a damn thing about China. ( or may be they do but they turned a blind eye to it )

That is a fairly bad excuse and exactly why I think that cancel culture, even if exaggerated, is of concern. Because you just admitted the motivation to deny people opportunity to state their opinion and I believe this shouldn't take too much influence in any academic discourse and a lot of protesters disqualify themselves here.

That is a tragedy not because the targets are indeed often wrong, but because it has a negative impact on when student activism is required and can have positive influences as it so often had in the past. I can be dismissed with references to incidence like those where people just were shouted down.
Yes, the article is chastising people for research and getting opinions from others, and suggesting that the solution is to do research and to get advice from others.

I personally can't see how it would be best for either party.

Elon I would imagine is way too busy with his other concerns to be distracted by a social media company, even though at the moment it does seem to carry an oversized amount of influence.

And Elon's brand is probably too randomly 'firecracker' for a company that's probably already attracting scrutiny from governments across the world due to the above mentioned outsized influence it has on discourse and opinion.
When I was still a consultant I spun up new VMs for each client engagement -- both macOS and Windows -- using Parallels. When the engagement was over I would dump that to an external HDD. It meant over-spending on my MacBook Pro to have the SSD and RAM space to support multiple VMs but there was never any question of client work corrupting my system (or vice versa) or needing to wipe and reload my machine after a client engagement.

> The Lemp case has a number of pertinent differences.

You were comparing the Locke case to the Abou-Khatwa case in the article (about a white collar criminal the FBI was going after, where guns weren't involved) and the Rittenhouse case (shootings which didn't involve any law enforcement agency). The shootings of Locke, Lemp, and Taylor all have certain differences, but they're much more similar to each other than to those other cases.

The reason I (and I assume other commenters, but I don't presume to speak on their behalf) don't care to dig up sources for you is because it's a waste of time. There are only two possibilities: either you're in denial, in which case there's nothing I can present to you that you won't also be in denial about; or you're not, in which case you can just search for it yourself (e.g. “bills that restrict voter rights in America”). Things that are all over the news are also generally easy to find.
This is disingenious at best. Looking at the population ratio vs killing makes no sense whatsoever. In that case just use that to justify why men are more often subject to police violence than women. We all know why, but with race there may be no differences ... but there are.

In the case of race you can't just ignore that black people do roughly 50% of violent crimes (just look at arson, don't even try to excuse it) and make up 25% of the lethal shootings with police.

It's also obvious why the racism is the other way around than some people make it out to be. Every police officer thinks twice to shoot on someone with dark skin because of the media coverage that can and often does take place. With killing white people, even if unjust this is rarely if ever a headline (except you can spin it, like when he helped a PoC).
Baseball cards and Beanie Babies probably weren't designed as a cult or a scam either. But people frantically speculated in them.
We could, but as they currently stand, but I've yet to see any analysis suggesting those come close to it covering the difference.

Most things do just look at parking and gas tax, but licensing fees are negligible compared to gas tax. The car sales tax might be a big source to make a difference, though. A few states don't have a sales tax on cars, but most do, and that may outstrip gas tax revenue if people buy frequently enough.

Nah, Atlassian has not given up, and isn’t going to. @nonrandomstring wasn’t referring to incidents that take more than a minute to resolve, they were predicting an incident of such magnitude that a large company shuts down over it. This is definitely not that.
what you’re referring to is just simulating, at least after the point your modified algorithm does something slightly different in the simulator than the real car did in real life.
>Let's also compare to Kyle Rittenhouse. Attorneys wanted to use the fact that one of his victims was a sex offender as a defense [3]. There are two possibilities here:

>1. Rittenhouse didn't know of this, in which case it's immaterial; and

>2. Rittenhouse knew, in which case this was a targeted killing (ie murder).

>No one is arguing Rittenhouse knew. The whole point here is post facto justification. This is for the court of public opinion and to give the jury something to hang their hat on with an acquittal. That's it.

No, the whole point is arguing that Rosenbaum likely instigated the altercation, using his repeated violent behavior in the past as character evidence to show this. If Rittenhouse had instigated the fight then he would have had to additionally prove in court that he attempted to retreat in order for his shooting to be considered self-defense, if Rosenbaum instigated then it remains simple self-defense.
The Guardian is not just "UK-based", they have a clear policy of news rotation following the sun - at some hours, you'll see a flood of US news, then Australian news, and then back to Europe. They clearly target the whole English-speaking world.
The RTO for products is listed at 6 hours. RPO is the maximum data loss. RTO is how long the recovery process will take. This is saying they should be able to recover the products in less than 6 hours, to a point in time less than one hour before the incident.
Is the basic idea of Replit, to host an IDE, as a way to make collaboration and deploying to the cloud easier?

I want to understand this better. Would this be about the same thing, as having a Linode instance, or EC2 instance, with an IDE in it. that you remote into and always have running?

If so, I can see how making this easier could be useful. It's hard for me personally to look past the middleman, but others might not have that issue, and it might be suitable for them.

This feels about the same as when people started using Blogger and eventually Geocities, and eventually Facebook to do something that could be done as a solo effort. The tradeoffs feel the same.

Pasting a comment I made about this a while ago:

The reason this keeps happening with NPM is because of absurd number of dependencies in the average node app. I have a tiny app I've been playing with using create-react-app. There are over 800 directories in node_modules. That absolutely dwarfs the number of any other language I've used. Even in a medium sized rails app, you likely have some awareness of what every dependency is. It's just impossible with npm.

This makes it easier for someone to inject their package into the ecosystem whether it's actually very useful of not (like the colors package).

One thought I've had to "reboot" the npm culture is to somehow curate packages that are proven to have minimal and safe dependencies, probably through manual review. Maybe it could be recursive, so that safe projects only rely on other safe projects.
I look forward to your peer-reviewed paper on this with some rigorous mathematical analysis rather than what you think you saw on some cherry-picked data in a blog post.
