Sometimes it takes a spade to call a spade. For me, a “bright boy” raised in a household with a subscription, I was seduced by the seeming certainty of its language and the comprehensiveness of coverage. “The world’s news at my fingertips, and with a suave guide!” is probably what young me thought, grasping for intellectual superiority and moral certainty. I probably imported many of its attitudes uncritically.

The survey of the magazine’s history and the insight into its editorial missteps and outright treachery was enlightening and probably necessary. I don’t mind admitting my own ignorance when it comes to this stuff, I needed this history to properly contextualize it. Also, the quip about being a “handbook for arrogant, dull, outdated men,” was genuinely hilarious.

I wouldn’t take it too personally. For you and me, it’s really just a magazine and perhaps the point is that we ought to treat it as such.
Sorry, I don't understand. Why is it uncomfortable to name a piece of software?
To clarify, egui has a mode where it only redraws while you're interacting with the app (e.g hovering, clicking). It doesn't do anything while idle (e.g. In between keystrokes)
YouTube is full of propaganda comments (from Russia / China / right wing), it is toxic
There's different ways to think about it but it's pretty rare for both a patent and child to be great athletes, at least in the same sport. It happens, there's exceptions.

Michael Jordan's sons didn't play professional basketball. For elite sports, having an elite athlete parent has low predictive power.

My startup was bought by a large corporation late last year. My laptop finally died a month ago and I was issued a new one from corporate IT and they really messed Windows up. Our desktop app that we develop won’t even run on it.

I have to change my password every 2 months, I can’t change power settings without an admin account (it’s locked on balanced), ssh wasn’t working because I needed admin to start the service, I can’t change which programs run at startup, I can’t uninstall programs that they’ve preinstalled even if I don’t use them, they automatically install/reinstall Java 8 which messes up my JAVA_HOME environment variable and I’ll randomly have to fix it so I can compile my Java 11 code base, everything in my home folder automatically goes to One Drive (rip node_modules), the fan runs at 100% no matter what because of some shitty corporate back ground processes.

It’s absolutely maddening. I’m going to reinstall my own copy of Windows or buy my own machine soon.

> 9. Does your Infrastructure as Code live alongside the service it hosts?

That means minor changes to some test infrastructure have to go through the strict review process, because the gitlab-ci.yaml is in the part of the main code. Last time this happened to me I found it annoying, and I don't think the code quality guardians care about some CI config anyway.

We will se whether my generation let you take a jet at all.
The idea of a ticketing system is to put everyone in a line and have them wait their turn. You were basically trying to skip the line. Yes, it was something trivial and easily fixable - but it was also something that didn't really affect your work productivity--your laptop wasn't falling apart, was it? So you could have put in a ticket and waited your turn like everyone else. Perhaps there were others with productivity-affecting issues that needed to be taken care of first.

The only way they are being unreasonable is if your company is in the high single or low to mid double digits of employees and they are using it as an excuse to avoid work. For large companies, there's enough trouble with managers and officers of the company all thinking they can just take an IT worker at their pleasure regardless of other workload, so they're probably going to be extra defensive for anyone else.

You should work IT servicedesk for a few months for a large company that doesn't want to plow money into IT and see how it is.

I think calling it malware might be wrong. Ultimately, what it does is display a message box when installing the package if Russian timezone. It doesn't cause any damage to the system, I can see how politically opposed person can be annoyed by it but that's a "valid" protest by an owner/creator IMO and I don't think it should be classified as malware...

> Imagine if the EU and others had taken a reasonable stance 15 years ago, and said "every car sold after 2015 must be an EV or a series hybrid with more than 50 km realistic range on pure electric". The transition towards zero carbon emissions from the road sector would have gone exponentially faster.

This is basically what they did. Generally laws try to avoid specifying the technology these days, to prevent locking things in, but the EU and other sensibly governed places have been putting tighter emission standards in place for decades. People were free to meet these goals with whatever tech they came up with, better aero, lighter materials and so on.

If PHEVs were the answer, we'd have more of them, but pretty much everyone realised that going straight to BEV made sense as soon as the oil/battery price passed a certain ratio, and that it was only going in one direction in future.

Here's a 2011 (11 years ago), McKinsey slide: https://therationalpessimist.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/mck...

This is also where the $100 per KWh target people talked about a lot comes from, if batteries get sufficiently cheap, BEVs win, and they did.
Your comment exemplifies the attitude I'm talking about. You've presented a scenario that's false in it's premise: either your data is safe or it isn't. But really, whether a thing is protected isn't quite so zero or one. Whether your production environment is actually at risk for the exploit being patched is a reasonable thing to ask in all scenarios. "What's our exposure here? Can it wait a few days?" would be a reasonable thing to ask.

But in my experience that isn't how it goes. It goes how you suggested: ITSecOps presents an easy-to-decide case based on a false premise, and then immediately asks for CYA if the company says no. Over time, this becomes a rubber stamp from management, who are also demoralized by the process.

The solution is to not present every security patch as a sky-is-falling event, but rather to be reasonable about the threats one faces and the impact to the business of forcing updates.
If you've ever worked in IT support, you know that the ticketing process is about the only thing that keeps the idiots at bay, spamming support directly with the most inane issues.

You may be quite adept with computer machines, but work a few days in IT support, and you'll understand why there is a ticketing process.

The comment that you're replying to isn't arguing that computers shouldn't be complicated, or that we don't need them to be. It's pointing out that they are complicated, and in a way that leaves most people powerless.

There's no need to run in and defend computers, or security policies.

I cook a lot of Chinese food, and I've had food in Sichuan province before too - so I eat plenty Sichuan peppercorns and oil (aka "prickly oil").

It doesn't taste or feel anything like a battery, but it is quite unique!

It has a peppy citrus flavour, but also kind of numbs your whole mouth - it might sound odd, but it's really nice when combined with other ingredients.

You should be able to get peppercorns or oil from your nearest Asian store if you want to try it for yourself.

> So they pass costs on to consumers as well as pushing those out of work that would compete with them. This is pretty straightforward - and demonstrated in the literature as I posted

The literature you posted demonstrated no such thing. Again, you're now making expansive claims that are interpretations well beyond the scope of these papers, using "first principals" and "common sense" -- they show that unions increase wages at the cost of slightly raised unemployment among certain groups. There is no free lunch, but unions eating lunch at the expense of shareholder profits is absolutely a good thing and the point. Their affect on consumer prices was not demonstrated by your literature, but I assume you're going to make the same false libertarian argument against "minimum wage" -- that it raises some consumer prices and unemployment, and therefore, should be abolished (in spite of the massive evidence that's shown that it's been radically effective at lifting people out of poverty while having little effect on both)?

Your blanket condemnation of unions is ideological.

> Unions Reduce Inequality. You keep parroting this claim, despite my just having shown you multiple papers clearly demonstrating that this is simply untrue. Those people now unemployed in those papers, those not getting jobs in the future because unions stagnate growth - are they now better off and more equal?

Ok, here's a source that supports that unions actually increase productivity, that's about 20 years more recent than the source you posted.

"In total, results suggest that right to work laws work as intended, increasing economic inequality indirectly by lowering labor power resources. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed."
https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/708067

Union Density Effects on Productivity and Wages
"Accounting for selection effects and the potential endogeneity of unionisation, the results show that increasing union density at the firm level leads to a substantial increase in both productivity and wages. The wage effect is larger in more productive firms, consistent with rent-sharing models."
https://academic.oup.com/ej/article/130/631/1898/5824627

"Decompositions based on public-sector earnings indicate that increases in union density have produced inequality that is 29 percent below what it otherwise would have been"

Oh no. I failed to include that part in the original comment. The logic was that the name(think “LordVoldemort.exe”) cannot be aired or published, so authorities cannot communicate arrests to the public, which makes it moot to do so, thereby shielding the users.
Well said.. I was excited to see HN link something that potentially checks a common bias here (TE), but this article was long and shallow.. not a good combo.

The U.S. had John and John Quincy Adams and William Henry and Benjamin Harrison. Al Gore was the son of a Senator, and John F Kennedy's family had numerous high-profile politicians, including his father being US Ambassador to the UK. This is not a new development. Not saying it's good, just that it's not new.
Something similar to this already exists for citations in court decisions, where you can see if a citing decision has a positive, neutral or negative treatment. It’s not unfeasible.
Water tank and water pipe analogies fail pretty fast when it comes to thinking about electricity. Keeping grids energized by real-time management of supply and demand is not much like keeping water or gas flowing through pipes.

If you want to examine smart grids, it's strange to ignore what's been developed in Germany and NW Europe over several decades. A lot of this revolves around fast communication strategies and supply/demand prediction algorithms:

https://eu.landisgyr.com/blog/grid-control-the-future-of-the...

> "To be able to operate this complex solution infrastructure, Netze BW has applied a so called “traffic light concept”. The green light indicates that no congestion is predicted, while the yellow light is a sign of a potential bottleneck in the grid that might require certain restrictive measures by the market players. For example, a Virtual Power Plant operator would adjust the operating mode of its storage and generation assets to avoid predicted transformer overload. However, despite these actions taken during the yellow phase, the actual technical limits of the electricity network might still be violated in real time due to unforeseen events. In this case, the red light would call for immediate mitigation measures enabled automatically by the REMS system."
The main issue with crypto is the exchange rate and volatility. The local ATM gives you a shitty rate on bitcoin and by the time you spend it its value may be lower or higher by a big margin. The merchant may experience a similar issue.

> No Widescreen

What are you talking about? To a good first approximation, every laptop computer or phone you can buy today has a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio screen (much to my annoyance).

The fact that people don’t use it is because wide designs are hard to read. This is an established fact in print, for example, which is why newspapers use columns, and why properly typeset books have around 80 characters per line.

> No Fonts

WTF? Almost every page I visit wants to download tens of megabytes of web fonts, none of which I permit.

> No Multi-tasking

I can’t even work out what you mean by this. I’m replying on a iPhone with a Picture in Picture video playing in the top corner, and just received a notification. I’d love to know what your definition of multi-tasking is, frankly, because it has zero basis in operating system reality.
The number one issue with IT is that companies don’t see the value in having a full support staff and hire the bare minimum to get stuff done. My wife worked for a few big enterprise companies in Denver and they’d only have 4-8 people supporting hundred each. Higher ups choose the software and hardware, they’re stingy with licenses, only replace hardware every five years, will have a faulty computer repaired dozens of times before getting replacements, buy hardware that’ll be obsolete in a year), upgrades are all computers at once because the software doesn’t support testing groups. A funny example is she recently helped a hospital network upgrade to new computers in 2021; none of the computers support windows 11 so they have to buy new computers again because their new software doesn’t support windows 10. This happens all the time.
As somebody who works in public health in the United States, I can guarantee that obesity is seen as an epidemic, tracked in the population with annual surveys, and targeted as a component of disease. Governmental and non-profit public health organizations spend lots of money and time fighting obesity. They'll never advertise programs as a way for somebody to stop being obese, because accusing your audience of a moral failing is just bad advertising.
When I say the military, I mean, all the military, that's the minimum we the citizens of the world should be requesting.

Anyway, if you are talking about the USA military budget, that's just nonsense. Just check the numbers.
A victim (again) of its success? Perhaps.

Jobs famously pared the Macs down to laptop/desktop and pro/consumer to create a grid of four platforms (of course this predates phones, watches, ipads...).

I suspect Jobs was over-correcting because he had to, because Apple was floundering. But the model matrix for the Macs are not a lot bigger than Job's 2 x 2 minimalist stable.

So, I don't think Biden is exactly a hack but I do think he is a status-quo guy who doesn't understand when a long-term predictable plan makes him a sitting duck.

On the other hand, Jon does have to make a case for pretty much _any_ political expertise outside of punditry. I'd like to give him a chance sooner than any Republican.

Welcome to Scite.

One thing that is missing from this simulation is that (at least some) ant species walk straight back to their nest once they found some food. They do this (as far as we know) by accumulating each step they take into what is called the "home vector", effectively integrating the whole path they took. That way they always know which way is "back to the nest". There is a vast amount of papers on the topic. Some (personal) highlights:

If you put the ants on stilts they will follow the same home vector, but because each step on stilts is effectively longer they will overshoot the target: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Fig4-Odometry-by-stride-...

If the ant is placed close to the nest after gathering food, it will still follow its home vector ... away from the nest: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.1098/rspb.2004...

Crazy little buggers these ants.
Eh..not really. Moonie is a specific religious sect (and a horrible, vile, dim-witted one without sugar-coating). If you ask me, they should be singled out and massively shamed for their atrocities.

Mainstream religions like Christianity and Islam have billions of adherents between them and aren't a single group. They're many sub-sets within them, many of whom aren't fond of each other, so you can't generalize with that case.

Call it "bigotry"...but what else can we say about a "church" whose adherents bless their AR-15 and wear a crown of bullets [1]. It's not bigotry to be scared of such loons and the kind of havoc they can potentially cause.

Religious freedom does not give people the authority to be nuisances within their community.
