Completely overkill for just an intercom, but an analog telephone adapter would let you connect those to a VoIP server (like Asterisk, etc). Could be cool.

For just a hotline/intercom setup, I think a telephone line simulator might do the job, but those seem stupidly expensive!

EDIT: The other reply seems a lot more knowledgeable, ignore this one
This sounds like a poetic way of justifying the pretense of tolerance while not actually being that, and using it as a symbol to mask the same behavior it is on the surface condemning.
I definitely remember Hotline! Got me into trouble in college...a friend and I opened up Hotline servers on our machines and threw a piece of software on there (probably a cracked version of Macromedia Flash or something like that...) and a README that said "please leave something if you take something". A few weeks later, we both got calls from the sys admin at our school asking us to come in for a little chat...we hadn't really been paying too much attention, and apparently people had put all kinds of software/games etc. on there and that we had been serving up from our machines (I believe the admin said "millions of dollars"...but he may have been trying to scare us straight...). We didn't end up getting into too much trouble for it (I believe we were banned from using the internet for a few weeks) and ultimately I got hired to work in the IT department, so it worked out for me at least...
Getting VLC to output multiple tracks simultaneously (or more correctly, all tracks) is via command line parameters (--sout-all --sout \#display).

Of course you can find PhDs that don’t master fundamentals properly, but that remains rare. PhD quals are supposed to root that out. It’s also true that in day to day electronic engineering, any sufficiently complicated circuit would be solved with SPICE or an equivalent. For a PhD student in electronic engineering to not know that SPICE essentially solves ODEs still seems very surprising.
Agreed - if people really want in, they'll use technology ranging from rock through a window to cordless angle grinders before they'll invest time in learning how to pick locks.

My note was clear that the package insert is insufficient for prescribing. It is explicitly marked so -- see a comment I wrote to another reply to my GP comment.
That's my point exactly, that my entire curriculum from highschool until my CS degree I always have gotten away with only logic design. I'm pretty sure at some point we've learned what a FET is and how it works, but I guess designing a circuit that involved one was deemed either too advanced, or not advanced enough.

I even had courses in verilog. I'm pretty sure I'd do better designing a CPU in verilog, than designing a home automation controller. It's almost like a challenge of how close can you get to learning about electronics, without actually learning about electronics..
> However, _Elon Musk_ himself has not been a great contributor to that work, and he is not a good engineer.

This old sad meme again.

Do you mean he is not a technically certified engineer? Because a lot of people are not that but go into engineering, specially in software.

What would you suggest qualifies somebody as an engineer?

Musk studied physics and was was accepted as PhD student for material science at Standford. Many people from that path go into engineering fields. Musk didn't finish his work on ultracaps and instead created a software company where he was the main software engineer. He actually wrote the code and lead the team of coders at a company that sold for 20+ million. Does that not count as engineering?

And Elon did actually work on the actual Falcon 1 rocket. Both on design and on the actual hardware.

He is not the Chief Engineer in name only. He does what a Chief Engineer does. He is in every technical review meeting with senior engineering leaders and make top level decisions, he defines the strategy and direction of the engineering work. He fundamentally makes a the choice of material/manufacturing process and so on, and takes responsibility if it doesn't work out.

There are plenty of domain experts who have interacted with Elon who have talked about how he actually has the knowlage to talk with all the engineers about domain specific details in those peoples field. And those people were not working at Musk companies.

> * The hyperloop is a ridiculous concept that defies physics and engineering.

Funny then as it was validated by engineering teams of both Tesla and SpaceX with the best simulation tools available in the industry at the time. Please tell me what defies physics.

> * The boring company makes tunnels. They are not particularly cheap or fast to dig, unless you compare their tunnels to tunnels several times the diameter (as Elon Musk does in his marketing material).

Well the bought a commercial tunnel boring machine to start of at. So of course those are not faster. But the point of the company is to make it faster. Are you suggesting that they have made their next generation tunnel boring machines slower then currently commercially available designs?

Where do you get your knowlage about tunneling prices and speed? Do you have some sort of internal knowlage about cost from the boring company?

The Boring Company just raised 600M$ but so I guess at least some investors who look at the tech don't think its trash.

I feel like social media as it currently operates cannot operate alongside absolute free speech. The reason is really simple - the social media websites don't simply allow you to follow people and see what they say. They show you 'recommended content', they push content on you via features like 'trending' which also have editing. By doing this they're choosing which speech the user should be made to view. If Twitter (for example) simply showed me a feed of what people I follow post in chronological order and did nothing else then the whole absolute free speech thing would be fine. But they choose to get involved and show the 'outrageous' content that will try to get me to 'engage'. You can't have it both ways. Either take responsibility for all the content on your platform, or relinquish the power to manipulate and editorialise.
no such book would ever exist on the soviet side.
Imagine a jobs program that instead of pissing away money building rifles and tanks, we spent that money and labor building high speed rail, more light rail in cities, solar panels, wind turbines, e-bikes, electric cars, hybrid transit busses.

We spent two trillion dollars in Afghanistan. Imagine what that could have done for our country's energy and transportation infrastructure.
And then their main opponent was removed from all social media.

Masterful work. Real politics. That is how you win.
That does not make any sense. Suppose I was upset that other people now have free speech; how would me quitting twitter affect it in any way? If I really wanted to somehow (what whatever reason) prevent others from having free speech, how would me closing my twitter account achieve that?

The reason I closed my twitter account yesterday is because I dislike Musk and do not particularly want to participate in his social media platform.
> A degree in film is absolutely worthless for obtaining work in the film industry. What matters are connections, professional experience, and the ability to raise large sums of money. Those aren’t things film school can teach you.

Well you're very unlikely to get a job with any degree without writing a resume, attending job fairs, networking etc., the degree is helpful but not sufficient.

Film school is a place where you've got the equipment, you've got people there who want to work on projects with similar profiles to yourself, and you've got experienced faculty who have been paid to teach you stuff and who are on the lookout themselves for really good students to refer to their industry friends. It's a place you go to to create a fucking awesome portfolio, so that you can be taken seriously when you network. Of course schools don't put that in the brochure, because they are businesses in a competitive field, so they try to talk up what you can get if you go to their place in particular. You have to figure this out for yourself.
My first book took me four years. That was too long, so with my second book, I aimed to get it done in two years. It took me six, instead. Estimation is hard.

I feel you're right about most customers preferring the standard McDonald's cashier - but at the grocery store most customers prefer self-checkout. I wonder what that means.

Maybe it's the customization? If all I have to do is scan things, then I can do that about as fast as the professional checker, but if I have to make customizations and select from menu options and so on, maybe it's faster, and certainly easier, to let the professional do it.

I wonder if McDonald's, or similar, is taking the audio from their drive-thrus, and the resultant order, and using that to train a machine learning model. If you could train an ML system to be as easy to order from as the standard cashier, and combine that with a screen and an intuitive (and standardized) interface to modify the order, perhaps you could bring more people to self-ordering.

A lot of green username here. Well, I'm building the same kind of product! If it's not javascript based, I'd immediately apply for the job. Not sure how the code scanning would evolve as projects evolve? Is FlyCode tracking the dynamic content holes, as the place it was currently edited would be moved around? There are other aspects I wonder for this approach.
Along these lines is the venerable TRIBES Engine Networking Model whitepaper. It was so good, it was shipped as part of the XDK for a decade. I believe Bungie even leaned on it quite a bit when creating their networking stack.

>Yet, I believe the humanity was close to achieving real global peace after the USSR's collapse if more effort was made.

Does global here mean "the US, Europe, Australia and Japan"? I followed this a bit, but it's concerning that you don't consider the US a malevolent entity. By numbers alone, the in the last 30 years the US has done the most harm to innocent civilians worldwide.

I read the GP a lot more differently, in that non-proliferation was a mistake and if you are a nation-state it's likely of utmost importance that you begin to build nukes in order to prevent Russia (if you are Ukraine), China (if you are Taiwan) or the US (if you are Iran, Palestine, Libya), for fucking your shit up.

>Where are all the politicians raising the alarm about plutocracy as a threat to democracy?

Either they're taking fat stacks of cash and keeping quiet about it or they're being subjected to a relentless character assassination campaign that is largely working as intended.
To also play devils advocate here, it is one of the few things keeping many kinds of manufacturing alive in the US itself, such as metalworking and ship building.

To lose all the knowledge that comes with that would be a disaster, as we would have to rely on other, possible hostile, countries to provide those goods. At least by having some of this expertise and machinery inside the country we could ramp up training and production if needed.

I got introduced to focus-follows-mouse mode when it was the default on some X11 unix system I used years ago. I have been using linux as a workstation for decades with this feature, and loosing it is the biggest barrier to my using a Mac or Windows machine for anything serious. (For a few years you could feasibly enable this in windows, but it doesn't work well enough to use anymore.)

It saddens me that there are so many cases where the 'better' way to do things gets lost in the noise of the beginner-friendly masses, and can't be standard because people aren't used to it.

Another example of this is electric vehicles and one-pedal driving. Only a few EVs (BMW i3, for example) allow you to mainly drive with the accelerator, where releasing it slows the car to a stop, without use of brakes.

A lot of our electronics suffer from this too. You notice it sometimes if you compare electronics sold in Japan to those sold in the US. The market here is seen to not support 'too many' buttons and features so we get a dumbed down version.
Some busy power brokers and intellectuals assembled a few ideas just 250 years ago and wrote them down as the second draft of requirements for their Modern Nation app.

It makes sense that we might need to do a little debugging and refactoring now and then.

Just like the accessibility and exponentially amplified voice provided by the printing press prompted some of the “core principles” of Europe to get reshuffled, it’s pretty reasonable to me that social media could prompt some reshuffling of it’s own.

Dogmatic commitment like you hint at for yourself is an important part of the dialogue of how that reshuffling might look, but I don’t know that your characterization of others is very accurate.
No, that's not true. The board's job is to determine how far off the share price is from what they believe the company is worth based on their own internal projections. The board is certainly not expected to take the spot price of Twitter common stock as the ground truth of the company's valuation.

PayPal was sold to Ebay and was under different managers after.

In my raw, sore and offending, dry opinion: for dependencies, if a student write a small chat client he/she is excused for not knowing, studied and checked all the deps he/she use. If a big enterprise with significant development teams pull code from git head of some project directly to production it's about time to look for a big mast, glue and sand. They deserve the outcome.

For CI/CD and some other cited attacks: again a student can be excused, a bit company MUST have it's own infra with it's internal operation, security etc. If that's not the case just because it's easy and cheap pay less internal technicians and talk more with colleagues commercials from some other companies whose jobs is just selling someone else technicians services with an automated UI they deserve the outcome.

Distracted devs who publish credentials, distracted admin who left default pig&dogs open instance of some services etc can always happen but if it's more than once in a while for a quickly fired employee than that means a complete IT department re-build is needed.

Please do not tell me the joke about the need of being quick and agile etc. Modern crapstructure are quick only in making disasters. To be really quick we need to came back in the history, restart completely erasing modern IT from IBM and onward and learn how to work properly, this, yes, is far from being quick, but that's the sole reasonable option I see. Keeping layering crap to offload crappy unsolvable problems to third parties like "cure the symptom > cure the the problem" is only a recipe for a worse disaster, like re-paint a wall with a broken corroded pipe behind: initially you quickly solve for few days, than for one day, than you haven't even the time to finish painting.

More real supply chain attacks, like some SoC who do not work as they say they do... There is only one mitigation: open hardware and internal production, the latter can't be done essentially by anyone, the former must be mandatory by law IMO.

> But there are many social media platforms, and it's easy to start new ones.

There is one Twitter. Losing access to Twitter, YouTube, etc. looks like losing access to a utility to me.

And it is not easy to start a new Twitter or YouTube in any meaningful sense. One could just as easily say "ISPs are not utilities or monopolies, you can start your own intranet easily with OSS!"
Sure, we're saying the same thing in that regard.
This is exactly what I'm remembering. Thank you for sharing.

We had one staff member in charge of both the library and computer lab at my school, and I always admired her know-how when we'd watch her demonstrate something or troubleshoot a problem. Looking back now at the selection of software she curated for us, the uniformity of the look-and-feel across all Macs on campus, having a networked file share accessible from the 2-3 iMacs/Macintosh LCs we had in each classroom and in the lab, I appreciate how she really went above and beyond for that period of time and fostered so much intrigue in me. I really have to attribute a lot of my interest in tech to her during those formative years.
Their main opponent also tried to stage a coup. And for years, this person wasn't removed despite many other posts that would have otherwised violated ToS -- special treatment for being a head of state. So there's some context to this quip.

Ocotillo Wells may be a bad example, because it is adjacent to the Salton Sea. There is an ongoing conversation about building the world's largest lithium extraction plant at the Salton Sea, which would massively increase development in tbe surrounding area, and permanently raise land values in Ocotillo Wells (among other towns).

I'm not saying you're wrong, just that OW may be a bad example because there is a separate local phenomenon going on.

Stop making languages, start making interactive debuggers, standard libraries ("batteries includes"), autocompletors (LSP support as good as rust-analyzer), dynamic syntax highlighters, linters, autoformatters, visualizers.
I think the problem is "we the people" keep forgetting that the government is what we make of it and "hiring" a president every 4 years and then ignoring our responsibility until the next election isn't how this thing is supposed to work.
In this case it doesn't seem too critical? It means jq remains stable, which is probably what should happen once a tool like this gets a lot of users.
Alternative point ( as somebody that uses macOS, Windows, and Linux about equally )…

Apple may leave “wobbly windows” or even window manager behaviour as the kind of thing a third-party could add. They might do this because they want software companies to be able to make money making software for the Mac. A rich community of software providers is good for a platform.

As a user, this means that high quality software is more likely to be available for the Mac than it is for Linux. Companies struggle to make money on Linux and so fewer companies try. Microsoft used to get roundly criticized for adding stuff into Windows for free that third-parties could be selling for money instead. In fact, Microsoft was branded as “evil” by many for including a web browser for free shortly after Netscape had biggest IPO in history selling theirs for money.

I prefer the “everything in my distribution” model myself but calling an OS a “toy” because it does not bundle a utility or functionality that is hardly universal in utility or preference does not resonate with me.

Not being able to run the software I need for work is a more legitimate beef. I love Linux and I can use it for almost anything. I have to admit though that even just using it for my work email or calendar is a far inferior experience to either Mac or Windows.

For most people, an article about how Linux is still a toy because it poorly integrates with iMessage or Face Time may even make more sense than complaints about NFS.

I do not like macOS as much as I used to but there is a lot bundled into it. Even simple apps like Preview work a lot nicer than what I have on Linux. The Linux printing subsystem ( CUPS ) is a gift from Apple.

Again, I like Linux more than Mac these days. I am thinking of putting Garuda Linux on my MacBook Pro later today in fact. That said, this article did not hit with me.
> The company's chief operating office, Julie Brazil, told local news outlet Link NKY that Gravity Diagnostics stands by its decision to terminate Mr Berling, whom she said violated a "workplace violence policy".
"My employees were the victims in this case, not the plaintiff," she said, adding that the company is challenging the verdict and is mulling an appeal.

Seems like the company is doubling down on their defense and now saying the plaintiff was a violence threat could make it worse for them as defamation.

HR fascinates me sometime and this might be a good case study in workplace madness.

Company throws birthday parties so employee asks them not to throw one for him.

They throw anyway, he has a panic attack and leave.

In a group setting they say he was acting like a girl.

He has another panic attack.

They fire him.

They lose the case and say he’s a threat of violence.

It seems like they just keep doing weird things for no benefit to them unless they just really like birthday parties. Should have been the simplest thing ever to avoid all this.
I deliberately haven't been tracking my time spent writing my book because it would be super depressing to see an hourly rate less than minimum wage. But without knowing that number it's still super exciting to get an email saying I sold a copy, and to see a payment arrive every month. It's like free money!
Out of the box macOS doesn't have a button to maximize the way Windows does. The green button in modern macOS is for full-screen and option-clicking that button will bring back the old "zoom" behavior which expands the window to fit the content being displayed. It's a lot less frustrating of an experience when you realize that the button doesn't do what you assume it does.
Their mistake is understandable, they were assuming that the discourse would be digital-native only.

What they did not anticipate was the odd combination of regular media like TV channels reporting breathlessly on (essentially) online trolling for which you'd be banned immediately from any 2008-era phpBB forum.
