If your software works only on Windows, you've written non-portable software. Likely, you have all your core logic mixed up with Windowsy UI and now you're stuck there.

If it works on Windows and Mac, you've written portable software but just can't be bothered to support Linux. At a guess the problem is that you want to ship binaries only and don't want to deal with doing all the packaging and testing for Linux.

For a consumer hardware company, one wonders what the benefit is to binaries-only unless you're hoping to charge a subscription for the software to run hardware you already bought. Or the software is such a mess internally that you'd feel ashamed of it were public (which I can understand, having seen commercial code). Or you have some security feature that you don't want to reveal (e.g. disallowing use of your software with third-party hardware). However, if someone wants to reverse your software methods, they'll find a way.

Perhaps naively, my thought would be that if you want to sell hardware and not software, an excellent consumer-grade and consumer-priced camera platform with an open hardware interface and a decent reference implementation would actually find a lot of uses on embedded (i.e. probably Linux) platforms.

Your comment brings the following Monty Python sketch to mind:

Given the prevalence of lactose intolerance I think it’s hard to classify ice cream as “the ultimate” comfort food.

When I hear people talking about “comfort food” it’s usually talking about simple (easy to prepare), high-carbohydrate foods with balanced proteins like mac & cheese, spaghetti & meatballs, pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches, etc. The stuff you’d feed to children with unsophisticated palettes and an unending desire for calories and protein.

OVH has DDoS protection, and using OpenResty as a WAF works well for me. I have a hundred(ish) lines of Lua code to handle attackers that get through OVH. I think most people could manage with a similar setup because most DDoS attacks are not very sophisticated (you're basically dealing with `ab -c 1000 -n 1000000 nickjjswebsite.com` from a bunch of hosts on DigitalOcean and Linode that some teenager hired a guy on Fiverr to execute so he wouldn't have to do his homework assignment).

I don't know about that multitouch thing and what it provides (is it similar to using 2 fingers to scroll down), I never have any weird thing happening when I attach/detach display and I would describe my software update as automatic, unobtrusive and fast on my fedora laptops.

No idea what "binaries highly optimized with profile guidance and link-time optimization" are though.
I can add my cents wrt AI coverage.

First, remember the rule that 'most of everything sucks'. Is science coverage especially worse than politics, economy, etc.? Not sure.

Secondly, over the years there have been more and more reporters who specialize in writing about AI, and whose articles are generally of very high quality.

It's not as bad as it used to be, and I'd argue it's better than most people thing.

Some context: I co-run the Last Week in AI newsletter and podcast, so I am exposed to a loooot of AI coverage.

>Because you have to convert the crypto into fiat to procure goods and services

You do? What is the purpose of cryptocurrency if you are just going to convert back into cash the moment you use it? I think the end goal for cryptocurrency is to create a circular, P2P economy[0][1]

Seems pretty difficult to regulate only some cryptocurrencies if it's already possible to anonymously and trustlessly swap between them[2]

Pretty much no one does any sort of identity verification anyway on any E2EE messaging system. So that means that the people running the servers can MITM if they feel like it to get the content. So in practice Telegram might be the best of something or another for all it matters. It's sort of a con. Yes our E2EE encryption app is perfectly secure assuming you do this thing that we know you won't bother with and will not be able to figure out anyway.

This is bad advice. It sounds like the dynamics of a dysfunctional, low performing organization.

In general, please don't blindly follow the advice of random people on the internet (including me!). There is plenty of advice around from reputable people with experience building and scaling high performing teams. My latest favorite is "An Elegant Puzzle" from Will Larson.
Couldn't AIs have differing opinions? Due to the Incompleteness Theorems, we know that not everything true is probable (deducable). So even some thinking entity with a lot of computational power can't know everything.
Oh yeah. That makes sense. Its super counter-intuitive. Running a marathon gets harder as the miles stack up. Huge respect for anyone that can do an ironman. Fasting starts out very hard and gets trivially easy by day 5. The accepted explanation is your body just taps out on making the hormone that makes you feel hungry (ghrelin) after 3~ish days. You don't actually get hungrier and hungrier until you're in supraphysiological amounts of pain. The need to eat just kind of fades away - so you're just literally doing nothing. It feels like a non-achievement.
Doesn't seem so extraordinary then. I would treat the last point as a con more than a pro though.

It's truly impressive how systemd turns out the be the right place to do absolutely anything and everything from bootloader to init to dhcp to ntp to network shares... except fix systemd bugs. systemd doesn't seem to be the right place to do that ever. Someone else needs to do it. For another example of this phenomenon, see the nohup bug.
The FireWire iSight camera's image looks like ass but it's good enough for my potato face.

The camera's bundled FireWire 400 cable connects to a hard drive enclosure that also has a FireWire 800 port (the camera's cable is detachable so this could be replaced with a FireWire 400 to 800 cable). The FireWire 800 cable runs to a Thunderbolt 2 dock with a FireWire port and the dock's Thunderbolt 2 cable runs to a Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter connected to an Intel MacBook Pro.

I like built-in, irised camera cover though by twisting it open/closed, I often shift the position slightly. The camera's stand sits on a box wedged between the wall and my monitor; I wish I had a slightly smaller box so the camera was a little lower, closer to the top of the monitor.

I had all these parts so it was a zero dollar way to get a camera above my external monitor. I might try the free version of EpocCam with an old iPhone (too old to work with Apple's forthcoming Continuity Camera feature) but that's bound to be more fussy to start/stop.

WhatsApp Mac app is not native on Mac, it quickly inflates into multi GB RAM consumption and the UI starts lagging even on M1. Very few things bring down this machine to its knees and one of them can be WhatsApp.

Don't forget about scale. You need to multiply the numbers by 100s of millions of users, times the amount of time these apps are running (3651010), times the amount of apps (idk, per user like 10, 20, 40?). Plus of course the overhead from extra hops over the internet because apps are being request-happy...

Let's take the most popular one 'Wefox'. As any fintech/crypto/insurtech company they have been buying themselves lots of ad space on sport teams ranging from soccer to Formula1 to IndyCar.

The argument about Cloudflare being the man-in-the-middle has always confused me. Yeah, it makes sense if you're big enough to run your own data centers, but for most smaller sites you're trusting someone to host it, so how is Cloudflare any different than some other random provider?

I'd still like to know what happened with that domain that got put into pendingDelete with a false positive a couple weeks ago, but, besides that, I'm very bullish on Cloudflare. I think there's a massive amount of opportunity to capture underserved markets in tech right now due to subscription fatigue and increasing prices. More reasonable pricing could do well in the low end of some markets and having a platform like Cloudflare that can scale to $0 makes it much more practical to start thinking about building for some of those markets.

Cloudflare solves a real problem that's impossible for anyone small to solve for themselves and getting to ignore all of that complexity makes it practical for people to build things they couldn't even consider before. Cloudflare is adding value way beyond any risk they're creating by acting as a proxy.

Hi TreasonStar, so I actually went through a pretty painful team matching process myself. I had to wait 4 months getting turned down by hiring managers in favor of internal transfers.

Did your recruiters say that you had passed the hiring committee? If so, then your interview feedback is probably very strong. Even with the hints, Google decided you met the bar. I can't comment on what actually happened in the interview, but I suspect the delay on the team matching is not because of your interview performance.

Unfortunately all I can say now is that it takes time waiting. I was pretty picky with location so I had to wait longer. If you're concerned about the job market or looking to get a job soon then you can express to your recruiter you're open to more locations and also remote options (this would help if you originally said I need to be in X city).

Another thing you can do is look on LinkedIn for Google engineering managers that explicitly say they are hiring. You can reach out to them directly, inform them of your level and that you made it through hiring committee and ask if they'd like to connect. The recruiters don't know ALL of the managers hiring so this can help expedite the process.
Sounds like you got very lucky. To clarify: the (reasonably well regarded) university I attended most certainly didn’t teach me how to learn properly. It taught me how to cram to answer a contrived set of questions and then promptly forget everything. I’ve learned more about how to learn from a few short books than I did across the sum total of my university education.
For x86 chromebooks there's https://mrchromebox.tech/ to replace the firmware with a normal UEFI-booting coreboot, and then you just install whatever you want on it because now it's basically a normal PC.

For ARM chromebooks I'm only aware of https://archlinuxarm.org/ and that's still pretty patchy; I hope that something comes together (or that it already exists and I just haven't found it yet).
Yes, you didn't tell people not to eat meat "in both of your comments above" (nice hedge, I'll look at your comment history later) but you still only preach about eating less meat and not doing anything else to combat climate change.

That behaviour, which is typical among vegans, vocal, toxic, or whatever, is dangerous and destructive because it detracts from the true source of climate change: burning fossil fuels. Not one of you, ever, never, will start talking about the environment by saying that "3/4s of carbon emissions come from sectors other than farming, but..." or something like that.

Oh no. You folks jump straight into the meat business. And you only comment about the environment when there's a chance to tell people not to eat meat. Because you dont' really care about the environment. All you care about is that people don't eat meat.

And "eat less meat" is just one step towards that. It's not about saving the environment, it's about getting everyone to go vegan.

It's your ideology and you're here to promote it. It's like the Hare Krishna. You care about nothing else but meat and getting people off it. No intelligent discussion, no curiosity, no nothing except "Go Vegan! Now!".
Even if the stream you are uploading is 720p, having a 4k sensor to work from is nice and will usually give you better results to a point.

> Immigrants take from the system but don't contribute to the system.

Unless you have proof they are committing tax fraud at a rate greater than non immigrants or are otherwise in leadership political positions directing allocation of resources in an unfair manner, I have no idea what could substantiate your claim.

As the child of immigrants, I would easily say the situation is the opposite. My parents always earned too much to qualify for subsidies, but did not have the white collar job to take advantage of tax advantaged benefits like healthcare and retirement savings that people fluent in English and usually non immigrants get to take advantage of.
"Back in the days" I used to think 256KB of RAM on a modified Speccy was already plenty, and dreamt about getting one of those 256MB(!) PCs, which would open a _universe_ of opportunities.

Heh, that was so naive - not because of it being possible in principle, but mostly because of all the bloat described in this article, plus misaligned business incentives.

These days, writing any software that would fit within mere dozens of KBs like the famous .kkrieger (an entire better-than-original-Doom-looking FPS game!), seems almost out of reach. Although it's motivational to dream once again through projects like Redbean that everyone is posting about.

But at the same time, I feel like unless you've lived through those times, it's sort of a "lost art" and is only appreciated by a vast minority these days.

In other words, the whole idea of minimalism in software is not even thought about as something that existed/could exist (you can't imagine a yellow Jeep if you've never even heard of a Jeep..)

Who said "government control"? I said more regulation. Of course letting any one power source control society's self conversation is bad. We need to accept the concept that regulation exists because the alternative is worse, and that includes regulation of how the news is delivered and the rights of those collecting information for news reporting. As it stands, society expects "good journalists" to give their lives to report the truth the public needs to understand how far our lack of regulation has allowed things to become.

That political party's actions are about weakening the federal government so as to make it easier for large corporations to behave abusively, not because of trust. States have less resources, and can be played against each other.

The public-facing excuse for Joe Q Public is "they can't be trusted!", "less taxes on your hard-earned money" (when corporate share of taxes has plunged from the 50-50 split it used to be, increasing individual taxes), "the government is not efficient" (usually because of lots of onerous regulations and reporting and oversight that, ahem, a certain political party insisted on to fight "abuse")
Probably not. I haven't been able to dig into what they're doing, but I watched the presentation about the feature, and it's an opt-in API for applications. I'm not clear on this but I have to assume that the macOS/iOS resolver code is still leaning on your external recursor to do the DNSSEC validation stuff (otherwise, it's going to generate _a lot_ of extra lookup traffic), which means it's going to trust whatever your PiHole tells it anyways.
