Not only that, but TPM chips are hopelessly physically insecure because of bootstrapping issues. But firmware TPMs (fTPMs), which run in a secure enclave or ME, do not have those issues at all.

The bootstrapping issues are namely that the BMC and BIOS don't necessarily and securely know a public key for the TPM they're talking to, so generally they don't even bother encrypting sessions to the TPM, and even if they did, they'd be subject to MITM attacks as long as they don't know the TPM's public key a priori. The attacks on bootstrapping do require physical access, so it's not exactly the end of the world, but it's still not good. But again, fTPMs don't have these problems because the communications between the CPU and the fTPM are on-die, so there is no external bus that could be used for mounting an attack.
I’m surprised such a company isn’t going out of business. That’s a very low amount to make per-head for software engineers. Do they make up for it in volume?
Best time to shave!

I rarely use anything. And to be frank, when I do it is a small drop of hair conditioner.
I do one step further and just don't use rm much at all. If I have a terminal open, it's probably because I got it from the right click menu in the file manager, and I can just click over probably faster than I could rm, and I don't really care to practice for hours to maybe get fast enough to save a few seconds.

If I were to alias rm to something safer, I would probably get used to it, and over time start being less careful on the rare occasions I do use it.

Then I'd SSH into some system that didn't have the alias, and screw myself over.

rm should ideally have trashed stuff instead from the start, but since it doesn't, I think it's best to forevermore treat it as a dangerous command, unless all major distros switch.
> You would think that the people in charge would see that real estate is an unnecessary expense, where applicable.

Some real estate is a sunk cost, and the execs doubling down on it. Apple and Google both dropped 2 or 3 billion combined on fancy new offices just before the pandemic. You can’t sell those buildings, their too big, and they’re not subdivided well enough to rent out parts of them, so everyone comes back to work

> The company plans on building a larger version of the accelerator, which is capable of launching a payload in excess of 440 pounds (200 kg) and at speeds of over 5,000 miles an hour, plenty of speed to reach low earth orbit.

5000 mph is actually not orbital speed which is approximately 18000 mph.

So will the scaled up version spin a "second stage" fully fueled to launch it?
I agree the correct way to handle this would be to change our culture to be less selfish and obnoxious.

Will Emerson: Jesus, Seth. Listen, if you really wanna do this with your life you have to believe you're necessary and you are. People wanna live like this in their cars and big f-in' houses they can't even pay for, then you're necessary. The only reason that they all get to continue living like kings is cause we got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I take my hand off and then the whole world gets really f-in' fair really f-in' quickly and nobody actually wants that. They say they do but they don't. They want what we have to give them but they also wanna, you know, play innocent and pretend they have no idea where it came from. Well, thats more hypocrisy than I'm willing to swallow, so f em. F normal people. You know, the funny thing is, tomorrow if all of this goes t-s up they're gonna crucify us for being too reckless but if we're wrong, and everything gets back on track? Well then, the same people are gonna laugh till they p-ss their pants cause we're gonna all look like the biggest p-ssies God ever let through the door.

Parent has literally no idea what he's talking about. Investing in indexes has always worked. Always. Over all time periods. Since they existed.
They aim to plant 100 million they make no claims to the efficacy of their project.

This article is full of hype though. The headline claims they ARE planting 40,000/day. The company only attests to 50k so far.

Even the company site has an FAQ where it asks "why seeds and not seedlings?" and doesn't give a good answer other than "we developed the technology for seeds" - they cite "transplant shock" and "increases soil carbon".

Also, who's their target audience? Governments? NGOs?
Yeah, the M1 mac is not a strong example. They began _shipping_ in Nov 2020, so I bet the design was finalized or close to it before the March shutdowns in the Bay Area began.

I like it too. I definitely hear you. For instance, Gilbert and Sullivan... neither of them could have done it alone. Sullivan, in particular, tried, and didn't succeed.

But, I think Seth may be pushing too hard to make his point. I think it's very arguable that at least during the 60's to early 70's, John and Paul were both categorizable as geniuses. As another example, John wrote Imagine without Paul, and it is frequently considered one of the greatest songs of all time. If it was a one-off, that would be one thing, but he also wrote some of the greatest Beatles songs with little input from Paul.

> Animation is usually the biggest pain point with frameworks like this -- and it usually feels like a complete afterthought for framework designers.

It tends to be. The only (popular) JS framework where it's a first class concept is with Svelte. There's a basic set of transitions and the framework handles the post-out-transition removal (which is annoying in a lot of frameworks) but there's also custom CSS animations where a JS-defined curve is rendered into CSS [1], semi-automated FLIP animations for non-transitioning nodes [2], and deferred transitions where the outro of one element is sync'd with the intro of another [3]. There's a few other things like springs and whatnot but I consider the package as a whole to be a significant advancement in the state of the art.

Well, I live in Montana and I don't drive. There are busses, but they stop at 6PM, so I'm not sure where I would go, until I get a job that isn't remote, unless I suddenly developed an interest in going out to eat. But tech jobs here are mostly multi-location and require a car.

I leave the house maybe 1/5th as much as I did in Seattle, and I don't really have many other ideas besides wasting time online.

Is there any Electron usecase that Tauri isn't better suited for?
Believe it or not, even something like physical exertion has hard-to-define limitations. The amount of reps that you can do of an exercise is more based on how forcefully your brain drives your nerves to activate your muscles and keep going. If you have a habit of sticking to sets of 10 reps, odds are you will feel exhausted at 10 reps, and this is because once you hit your magic goal, you're no longer applying the same concentrated mental energy, and you suddenly feel tired and stop there. But if you did that set like as if it were the last set of your life, or like you were at the olympics trying to break records, you'd be able to push 15 or 20 reps, rather than just the 10 that you do as your comfortable limit. You have the physical ability to keep doing something until the moment that your muscles lock up from lactic acid buildup and you just drop. But people rarely ever reach that state. They stop much sooner because pushing further requires more concentrated brain input which they don't want to dedicate. Maintaining your current routine is effortless, and we tend to favor the easy, comfortable. Pushing your limits is uncomfortable, and in a world where we have become so accustomed to prioritizing indulgence and comfort it becomes hard to break out of our safe zones.
Why? A totalitarian/authoritarian government that bans strikes where all worker’s organizations work hand in glove with the government and management describes fascist and communist approaches to unions perfectly. The historical roots of the ruling party are hardly relevant.

> A union is an agreement for the workers to pool their negotiating power, not an agreement for any particular pay structure.

Are you a member of any union? the #1 thing they do is secure a collective bargaining agreement which precisely spells out the pay structure for everyone covered.
Index investing has really only existed in common practice since the 1970s. You can simulate back further and do imaginary index investing, but we really only have 50 years of actual history with it. It's a very young experiment.

One thing that a lot of people are worried about is if the surge of people and money getting blindly pumped into broad basket index funds as if it was a savings account (because those have negative real yield) will itself distort the market in weird and unpredictable ways. It's entirely possible that it breaks the entire system and creates the mother of all crashes.
These sound like separate problems. Your coworkers being more interested in perf than work will not change just because you force them all to commute for two hours a day.

My experience talking to a lot of people both for and against wfh has been that people with shitty teams hate being remote, because it's hard to do when everyone is putting in zero effort to make remote work "work." The other big group that wants wfh to end are the "my coworkers are my only friends" people. Good for them, i guess, but personally i think that's not a wise way to structure one's life. I understand why companies love it and want to foster it though.

A very small number say things like "I find it difficult to collaborate with anyone over the internet."
> Say, for sake of argument, that I'm the World's Greatest Widget Engineer.

Say, I am not.

> so I can get stuff I want by negotiating individually with my employer

I cannot, see above. Does that mean I don't deserve to have the bargaining power for the best deal for myself?

> A union's interests are probably not completely aligned with mine—they're focused on protecting the majority of employees, who are probably not as valuable as me—so forming a union could very easily lead to me getting less of the things I want. For example, if a union convinced a company to pay/promote based on seniority rather than performance, that could be good for most of the people in the union but bad for me.

Well, based on the fact that I'm part of the majority i.e. not as valuable as you, it works very well for us (who are not the World's Greatest Widget Engineer).
ReMarkable 2 and its unremarkable software (2021)
Yes. I believe the idea is to get the rocket up to where the atmosphere is extremely thin so you don’t need much fuel to complete the journey. The hard part of the initial acceleration through the thick atmosphere which burns most of the fuel is bypassed.
Nice. I just gave this a try on my Windows work PC. Seems much lighter and more responsive than Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I completely agree. I've always worked remotely. This separation is all I know, and I can't imagine why someone would want something different. As a manager, I don't conduct "team building" exercises. I try to ensure that collaboration is flowing, but I don't care if team members are only talking about work or if they develop some social relationship.

This is in stark contrast to my wife, who had worked in the office before the pandemic and continued with the same philosophy during remote work. She finds my way too cold, and I find hers too wasteful. I would dread working on her pseudo-remote environment.
Small correction: the TPM you're talking about is actually provided by the processor; the BIOS merely exposes an interface to it.
Language and the Way We Think (1984)
That's a great summary, thank you.

I'm certain that once governments (and people like Elon) realise that they can do age and ID verification for accessing sites, they will start demanding it.

These devices (with their DRM-like remote attestation and revocation capabilities) are just going to further prepare people to accept the idea that their "security" relies on running unauditable software/hardware to do anything online.

Eventually, ISPs will be mandated to check that you're not running a system with an unlocked bootloader, and then governments only need to instruct the major OS vendors to detect VPNs and Tor and E2EE messengers as being "malware".
One of Destiny's big UI constraints is consoles. Lots of the more ambitious apps only work well because you're on the computer.

And then, I assume, since everyone uses DIM, there's not a lot of reason to build it into the game. Everyone already uses DIM, and it could be construed as stomping over the community. And also like it is sort of dev time wasted; you're reimplementing something that already exists, when you could be building more stuff.

I love their API docs though. Everything is an item. Gah!

But why?

There are more important things out there to teach to a 7 year old kid. Later, the kid can learn much faster, more important commands than simple 'ls' stuff.

Life skills, math, sports and stuff like that are much more important and fun, compared to these simple commands.
Well, since the original question before we got distracted was about flexibility in how you work, you definitely give that up as part of a union. Your collective agreement will spell out how, when and where you work, how much you get paid and also compel you do to things in support of the union, even if you don't agree with them. Those are all pretty big individual powers.
Why not?

Apps (an abbreviation for the word 'Applications') are merely one subcategory of the stuff called 'Software'. We call that category 'Apps' to distinguish them from the other main category of Software, the 'Operating System'.

The operating system is a specialised piece of software for the use by any other software to interface with all the peripherals included in a machine's hardware. So, software that allows your software 'app' to use the hard drive, or display stuff on the screen, or allow you to type stuff in.

Any task undertaken on a computer involves some sort of application which runs on top of an Operating System. And that's it! There's nothing weird or wonderful about 'apps', they are merely a bunch of 'tasks' for you to do things with.
On a related note: I've had to help train a bunch of Java/C++ devs about web dev over the years. I've also talked to a lot of new devs. One thing I noted is that there wasn't a good resource that tried to explain the key pieces of web dev concepts, terms, and technologies, and how they fit together. So, I ended up writing a "How Web Apps Work" blog series to try to fill that gap:

https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/series/how-web-apps-work/

The series provides an overview of HTTP and servers, client dev, browsers / HTML / CSS, JS / DOM, and AJAX.

A number of folks have told me they found the series particularly helpful.

If the measuring stick you use is getting shorter every year by design (monetary expansion/inflation) then you can be quite certain that the market will trend upwards for as long as you use that unit of measure.
Yes, where said article cays it's "it's tricky":

> Bellovin and others say one potentially tricky scenario in this new passwordless authentication scheme is what happens when someone loses their mobile device, or their phone breaks and they can’t recall their iCloud password.

and Google ignores the authentication question and just assumes a new, charged phone follows every human being wherever they go (and presumably the same goes without saying for backup codes):

> Google says that even if you lose your phone, “your passkeys will securely sync to your new phone from cloud backup, allowing you to pick up right where your old device left off.”
I'm always aware how much of my life relies on my phone battery.

If that does, I revert back to a 1990s savage!
That’s the problem, in bad times you pour money into the market either directly or with interest rates. Then I’m good times the opposite is supposed to happen. But this time the good times never arrived and now we are trying to fix it in the middle of a war, pandemic and massive supply shock, including for energy. It’s too easy to get it wrong and make the problem bigger.
I am being dismissive. The whole point is focusing on his stupid mansion is just a useless distraction and doesn’t stop climate change whatsoever.

I encounter people in this industry all the time who so confidently assert their way is best. This manifests itself in code reviews that insist on their way.

Because actions have consequences and action at a scale sets norms. Considering he has the choice to walk away and is exercising it, it is sending the signal to the market that forcing people to return to office will have consequences. If he doesn't and everyone doesn't, it just kills the work-from-home momentum at large.

In fact I am grateful to him for doing so because I am not in a position to do so myself but would certainly like to reap the benefits of such actions.
I believe their plan is smaller satellites. I remember a video saying the Gs weren’t too bad, just in a different direction at first.

The problem is more maximum physical size right now. The centrifuge is only so big. So it couldn’t launch full size satellites (in the initial full scale design) even if they were light enough.

But is fine for launching multiple CubeSat like things at once.
I've had this same thought, but everyone seems to be sitting in cash? No one wants to invest unless everyone else invests. Seems the emperor is suddenly naked.
