So...my 24 character password and MFA key isn't enough?

Thanks for putting a human face on the issue, but this is a pretty bad reason to lock people into Google/Apple official software.

If someone can compromise your server with a malformed client, someone isn't doing their job, and that's all this really protects against.

Now, if you said you wanted these records to help put together clues after you or a customer was compromised, that could make sense too.

Anyway.

>> to become a radiologist so probably pays a decent amount in taxes now.

Specialist doctors are one of those jobs that is on the cusp of tax planning/avoidance technology. Once you are touching 1mil per year you have enough money to engage proper tax professionals to take care of your money. In the US they will run their practice as a business rather be any sort of employee. Offshore trusts, spendthrifts, deferals ... I wouldn't assume that every doctor suffers a huge tax bill each year.

who creates these expectations? It’s always some loose definition like “society” or “elite”, or some other handy wavy grouping of people.

I suggest reading the book "Manufacturing Consent" to get an understanding of how expectations are shaped by mass media.

Just like there was a concerted effort to create public support for war (WW1/WW2/Vietnam/etc.), there are concerted efforts to shape public opinion and create expectations within our broader culture about morals/values/etc. Sometimes it's explicit, and often times it's implicit and picked up via signaling cues (i.e. high status reporter says X, to go against X would mean no more invites to fancy dinner parties)

Especially since the argument seems to be that ‘elites’ actually live by one set of (good) values while somehow imposing ‘bad’ values or expectations on the lower classes. How exactly are these bad values communicated from the elites if they don’t live by them? How do the elites enforce the ‘good’ values among themselves without transmitting them to lower classes?

I agree there is doublespeak about values among some elites, but I disagree that is the major source of single parent families.

If the code has turned to spagetti then how do you manage to change code quickly (due to e.g. Corona rules) so you can follow where the market went and not get competed out of business?

When the company is in startup mode and has no customers, it's easy to just throw more mud on the wall.

But when you have an existing business based on 1M lines of code and you want to keep being in the market when the market changes quickly, then spagetti code can be death. Being ready means having cleaned up code beforehand so it is easy to change it.

>Western music is based on simple frequency ratios.

Western music is based on simple frequency ratios, played by instruments with harmonic timbres (meaning that when you decompose the sound of a single note into sine waves using a Fourier transform, the frequencies of the sine waves are all integer multiples of the lowest frequency sine wave).

This is true for wind and string instruments, but not true with tuned percussion unless you go to special effort to shape the instrument to make it so (as is done by bell makers). Musical styles that use inharmonic timbres, e.g. Indonesian gamelan music, need different tuning to sound best.

And this also happens in Western music. Piano is technically tuned percussion, and the sound of a piano is slightly inharmonic. Pianos are tuned with stretched octave to compensate:

Fair, that was an oversimplification. I don't believe that that substantially alters my point, though: no one is saying that if only wealthy person X would speak up everything would be better.

> I wouldn’t dare count the number of times I’ve been told the technical details of why something is the way it is, without anyone ever saying the reason why we actually wanted it to be this way. My thesis was usually: we don’t.

In my experience, at the time the decision was made, folks did want it that way. The organization has lost that context as to why and has only documented the technical design.

A curse shared by less effective engineers I've worked with is to rage at legacy decisions unable to convince the organization to revise them. They lack the ability to understand the various stakeholders involved and to come up with a plausible plan. A systems engineer (as referenced in the blog) would understand the various sub-systems that make up an organization and be able to drive the change they desired (the conclusion that it's irreparably broken or you lack the expertise to fix it would be fine too).

Whether or not it was worth it is a good question, we don't know what things would be without all of that. What is certain, so, is that Hartz 4 took a lot away from our social network. And we pay the price still today.

A tangential story about renaming variables to save memory...

Back in the early 2000s, I worked at EA on Madden Football. I was working on a project to replace the old system Madden used for the game's UI (HUD, menu screens, etc.) with a new one based on Flash. A very smart engineer out of EAC in Vancouver wrote a custom ActionScript bytecode VM that could run on consoles and I was integrating it into Madden's game engine.

I was a lowly tools and UI engineer. In EA's culture back then, that placed me near the bottom just above QA on the prestige totem pole. One of the lead engineers on Madden wanted to talk to me about how much memory the new UI system was using.

I explained that part of it was that we needed RAM for all the variable names. He looked at me like I was an absolute idiot and condescendingly explained that compilers for programming languages don't keep the name of the variable around. The name is just used to identify a storage location and you only need memory at runtime for the value. He may or may not have hinted that this was something I was expected to understand if I ever wanted to become a senior engineer like he was.

So I sat down at his computer and tapped out this bit of ActionScript and ran it in our VM:

var someVariable = "its value";
var some = "some";
var variable = "Variable";
trace(eval(some + variable)); // Prints "its value".

Here, it's dynamically computing a string, which is then used used to look up the value of a local variable by that computed string name. In order for this to work, every variable name must be kept around in memory.

The look of confusion and anger on his face was priceless.

(You might rightly wonder why in the hell EA picked a dynamically-typed scripting language with eval() that required keeping variable names around in memory for consoles that were incredibly resource constrained. The answer was that they struggled to hire UI artists who were willing to use the previous weird proprietary tools. They figured if they moved to Flash, they could hire Flash artists. Also, it meant they didn't have to maintain a custom UI editing tool.)

For Handbrake the 12700K performs about 12% faster than the 5900X while being about 13% less efficient - I don’t think “perform far better while being roughly as efficient” is a fair characterization there - it performs better by about the same amount as it’s less efficient.

And the 5700X having low performance is taken into account by efficiency metrics - efficiency is performance divided by power draw, so whatever it in performance it more than gains in reduced power draw. (Of course, you might value your time more than your electric bill.)
The UK wasn't a founding member of the EU, but I see your point. Regardless of the UK's role, I feel that many in the UK regard it's parliament as the highest authority in law- and decision-making. Any body resting higher than that is going to face difficulty when attempting to claim greater and greater control over laws, and running them from "far away" even if that far away place was Brussels. The UK also wasn't part of the Euro, and so one of the main benefits of EU membership and coherence was missing. There was also a general feeling amongst the working classes that the low-wage sector was being undermined by labour coming in freely from abroad, mainly eastern Europe, and this wasn't reciprocal, i.e. they couldn't go to eastern Europe, or basically anywhere else in Europe, and get the same benefit from doing so.

P.s. a broken and undemocratic or unrepresentative bureaucracy is not going to be solved or fixed by adding higher levels of beuraucracy.

I'm guessing it's less than the one or two dozen 60 watt bulbs I used to use to light my house. But yes, I've heard this for a long time - at my work we used twinax or fiber often for top of rack switching and that's one of the reasons I was told. Not sure if twinax is much less power intensive, but I do have a buddy who's using regular old coax in his house (moca or something like that) as a multi-gig backbone (still less than 10G) now and he likes it. Nowadays that I have more money, I would have run fiber alongside the cat 5/6 cable to future proof things, but I'm told terminating fiber is a technical challenge. I guess there's no free or even cheap lunch for 10G yet.

Reliably identifying a (unique) visitor is pretty difficult using ip logs, though.

Cookies generally make this much easier, at the very least identifying a visit.

With ip logs, you’re not just dealing with the fact that IP addresses are often shared between people (eg behind a NAT), you now also need to record IP addresses, which arguably is an even bigger privacy violation than just using cookies.

I’m not saying that one method is always better than the other, but it’s definitely not as black-and-white as you make it out to be.

I met the founder Michael Hart at the 2006 HOPE conference, and with a couple of people we all caught lunch together.

I was very sad when I heard of his passing. I'm sure I made no impression on him, but he made a big one on me:

He was very enthusiastic about technology making information available (and of course books) to the developing world. I wasn't sure how that would happen, but he told me cellphones would do it. In my head, I wasn't convinced-- remember in 2006 computers were still prohibitively expensive for much of the world and so were just about any cellphones with > 1.5" screen, not to mention very slow data speeds. OLPC had been launched a year earlier and it seemed to me that cheap devices of that sort were a more likely inroad to less well-off countries.

Turns out, I was an idiot.

> I think their argument is that this sort of crutch makes you lose the muscle of "just do it and get on with it".

I don't have that muscle when it comes to "internal motivation", and decades of floundering have not particularly succeeded in developing it.

The right external motivation - for me, most typically, something along the lines of not wanting to let down the people who are depending upon me in a reasonable manner - means I can absolutely slay it when it comes to getting things done in a 9-5 work environment, and rather than being soul crushing, it's a relief that I can contribute value. I might grumble a bit at the start of my mornings, but getting into the grove of work quickly distracts me from said grumbling. johnthewise's experience is far from universal.

Precommitment in the form of money laden goalposts and checkpoints alone aren't super effective for me, but they do accomplish something.

> Why would you grind out something you found you don't want to do

Because it will be valuable enough to have it done, to be worth it in the long run. My natural internal motivation is terribly shortsighted - to the point that I'll procrastinate on getting myself food when I'm only a little hungry, because cooking, walking, driving, or even ordering sounds like a bother and a chore. Does spending an extra hour or three hungry improve my day overall? It does not.

It's 10AM, I've skipped breakfast, and I'm rather hungry for lunch. My natural instinct is to spend another few hours doomscrolling reddit or HN or otherwise making not particularly good use of my time, even when it comes to the explicit goal of leisure or relaxation. But, instead, I'm going to hunt down some socks, shoes, keys, wallet, sunglasses, mask, jacket, and go out into the beautiful sunny day that I've been hiding away from, and go grab some delicious food I've been looking forward to all week, and improve my day in the process.

And I will grumble slightly along the way, because among other injustices, I will have to "get up".
Worth noting that it's not actually "Google" that said to "hang tight". An entire brand does not make a decision like whether to support Linux. It's a two-pizza team with a shitty budget and a remit to just keep the damn thing from going down and working out all the bugs with basic features like moving a file to a new folder in a weird drop-down.

I'm sure the team would like to support Linux, if they had a bigger budget, if they could get out from all of their tech debt, if they had one or two specialized engineers added to their team. But the giant corporate behemoth isn't even remotely aware of those problems, nor will it care. There would have to be a clear case that adding a Linux client would create real business value. But considering how small Linux users probably are, and without an additional revenue stream to offset the cost of development, it's a non-starter.
Thank you, sincerely. It was a lazy comment and a missed opportunity.
It really isn't. The UK has very little in the way of power projection. Sure they could lob a few bombs and fire a few cruise missiles, that's not going to make the Moroccan government turn on solar power. All it will do is make them and the Moroccan people very, very angry.

If you want to take a country's resources by force, there is no option short of a ground campaign. Without a civil war in Morocco (that the UK couldn't make happen even if they tried), there is no way for them to put boots on the ground. The only way would be to cut a deal with Algeria or Mauritania for a ground invasion (not happening!), or to stage some kind of amphibious landing.

I thought that by now people would have understood that you can't win a war through air power only.
You would think they would be more aware of very commonly used acronyms, especially those with a negative connotation.
