Great series! My job would be a whole lot more interesting if it took place in the world Stross created.

Random recommendation: If you enjoy that style of writing, I highly recommend the podcast The Magnus Archives.

It follows the story of Jonathan Sims, the newly appointed Head Archivist of the fictional Magnus Institute—an institution based in London centered on research into the paranormal.

The podcast is a horror anthology series that starts with a small scope, but gradually the meta-narrative develops into a massive world that's interconnected. Top notch worldbuilding and narration!

Not affiliated with the pod in any way—just saw the mention of the Laundry Files and figured I'd mention the series since there's a lot of overlap in style between the two.

Great article, I did know about this at all... DNS is super interesting. I wrote dug, a cli tool I made to help visualize DNS 'propagation' but is a great learning tool. Similar to dig and dog, but specifically for querying or watching large numbers of DNS servers at once.

Democracies are sleep-walking their way into extinction. We keep pretending that autocratic/dictatorial regimes are going to "play fair." They do not. We keep pretending that if we trade with them, they'll want to become democracies. They do not. We keep pretending that if we write agreements with them, they will respect those agreements. They do not.

The Chinese and Russian governments are absolutely committed to destroying democracy, and they are by and large succeeding. They have bought out our politicians, poisoned our social media, and stolen our technology. And we, the democracies, have done sweet fuck-all to prevent them from destroying us.

Good luck to the latest generation: I believe you will be ruled by a dictator by the time I'm dead.
Was Android strategic for google or just reaction to an existential threat?
I’ve actually read so many good things about C# lately here and on Reddit that I plan to start learning it in the coming weeks (other reasons include .Net and F# being an adjacent language)

What don’t you like about it?
NYC apartment vacancy is at 4% compared to 6% nationally. The “vacant apartments and foreign owners are cashing rents to go up meme” is a straight up conspiracy theory.

We need to build more units. It’s really that simple. Any regulation that leads to less units should be heavily reconsidered. Limiting the number of units someone can own would be horrible for increasing supply.
Oh, no. I wouldn't think anyone needs to do that specific thing on the lockscreen.
For the bristlecone pines in California and Nevada, a primary cause of death for old trees is that erosion slowly exposes their root system over time until it kills them. So in a sense, they can outlive the mountains they grow upon.
Where did these numbers come from? You linked to a screenshot of a spreadsheet, but not its source.

From a random search, I got 2.8 violent crimes per 1,000 people citywide, which means all 5 boroughs. For just New York county (Manhattan), the most official statistic I could find is 4.57 in 2019[2].

In that case, yeah, it will work. You just have to realize that WASM has a REALLY tight sandbox around it, so getting a file/network stream into it will be somewhat of a pain.

WASM works best in cases of strict CPU and limited GPU processing (through webgl).
Nah, it's just that ads are a much better growth business, and gaming ads are super profitable.

Growth is generally king for tech companies.
Do you have an actual specific disagreement with c# or are you just venting because you are not familiar with the language?

C# is a robust language with a lot of features like lambdas pattern matching etc. I also find that most of the people who know Swift are Apple developers, so I feel like there isn't a broad enough appeal especially for game devs who are going to be more Windows or Linux centric.
D has an "always inline" annotation for functions, so they'll be inlined even in debug builds if so desired.

Using a symbolic debugger with macros is just another facet of the slow moving disaster of macro usage.
> Poor marketing. Doesn't show screenshots of the OS in use.

It's the same as Chrome OS on Chromebooks

> Doesn't go into detail about productivity applications.

Google Docs or anything you can use on the web

> Doesn't tell us about the apps available from the ecosystem. (Not even the main product page.)

There are none. Chrome Apps are deprecated so unless you use linux via crostini (on normal chrome os devices you can also use android apps but I don't think chrome os flex supports that currently) there aren't any apps except PWAs.

> Not much to get customers excited.

It's for companies that want an easy to manage OS that just provides a web browser, basically. They're not trying to market chrome os flex to consumers. If you wanted a chrome os device as a consumer you would buy a chromebook.

> This is why Apple always wins. (Well... Steve Jobs era Apple)

Chromebooks have been incredibly successful with elementary schools in the US. iPads and macbooks have obviously been successful too but they basically inhabit completely different niches so it's not necessarily possible to say that apple is "winning" against chrome os (apple would have to change their approach somewhat to try to make a cheap ipad laptop at the risk of cannibalizing the market for macbooks to try to compete with chrome os). Chrome OS flex has a good chance at being successful with companies that already have their own desktops and don't need any offline applications.
No worries; appreciate the update.

But isn't the - at least partially - purpose of art to be a critical mirror of society?

Art and the freedom of art have often been used to critise society.

Now if art becomes a product, where is the critical function of art? Critical art is part of healthy and diverse society, without we're one step closer to an orwellian utopia.
Never say never, but the DOM and JavaScript environment relies pretty heavily on garbage collection. WASM is inherently not garbage collected, and that makes it really hard to share data between the environments, so I'd say that it is unlikely.
Ecobee integrates with SRP in my area and does exactly what you describe. They know my billing plan (Time of Use - Demand) and, from my understanding, will coordinate with SRP ahead of a conservation event to pre-cool my house by up to 2 degrees before raising it by up to 4 degrees when attempting to “flatten the demand curve” of the grid.
Yeah, my example is a bit reductive but some form of this happens pretty frequently. Especially when the high-level decision makers are relying on their reports to provide inputs to their strategy decisions.
Turns out I've actually played your text adventure on my RC2014, and sent you a couple of trivial pull requests :).

I had a go at Zork too but found it far too complicated to be playable. I might have persevered if the directions were consistent, but it's just too hard to map everything out when you leave a room by going east but then to go back to where you came you need to go south.
Our ecobee (Phoenix, so HOT) does the precooling and is buggily aware of the expensive time window for electrical rates. Arizona Power just shrunk the expensive time window, not sure how that made sense, but the ecobee seems to not know, nor is there any way i could find to inform ecobee of the new shorter expensive time window.

I've had two Nests before, and two Ecobees, and they both were fine, in general, but for the next house not sure which I'd prefer.
am i alone in finding tiktok to be the single most obnoxious pop culture phenomenon to exist ever?

also, we need new rules. while it makes sense to have no expectations of privacy in public, i think an expectation of not being an unwitting participant in someone else's self-promotional quasi-commercial activities where your picture and voice may be broadcast to millions is reasonable.
There are millions of TikTok creators, but only one person (Zhang Yiming) created TikTok.

"It is how the system works", is not getting it... Twitter is used by a minority yet it supposedly captures significant political power. It is really hard to explain it to someone who doesn't care how supposed work and think I mean that it is about "direct democracy". Elected politicians should be working for the people regardless they voted for them or not. They aren't supposed to write crap on twitter about the "other guys" within the same fucking party.
Too late to edit, but to add: the parent edited the comment after I posted mine.
I don't think that's true. Take something like Clash of Clans. There's a real incentive to pay for an upgrade to help your clan in your next clan war, or you get into an impatient fuck-it mode because your inferno tower is going to take 10 days to upgrade. After a few weeks of play time and some leveling up the game essentially offers the player a choice: either disengage from the game and accept that most of your efforts were a sunk cost (which is extra sad because your base layout if fairly personal and an expression of yourself), or pony up to get the same feelings you got initially for free.

On the other hand, if I buy a hat I like in Team Fortess, like, I might buy more hats in the future but there's no particular incentive for me to do so.

Addiction generally requires a couple things IMO:

- The product/substance needs to provide some sort of short term relief or benefit

- The short term relief or benefit becomes more expensive over time and less satisfying

- The higher the usage, the more invested or dependent the person becomes

If you spend like $1000 upgrading your base in Clash of Clans, then you're certainly invested and likely to spend more in the future. The benefits also start to dwindle -- you have to spend more for the same effect (ie, upgrades get more expensive/time consuming)

On the other hand, if you buy a hat for $5, none of the above applies. Maybe you're a little more invested in the game but that's about it. And well, if you were buying a hat, you're probably already pretty invested.

I feel like now is a terrible time to use C# in Godot, since they're (AFAIK) switching from Mono in 3.X to .NET Core in 4.

I love Godot and I use .NET in my day job, but I feel like C# in Godot has always been a second class citizen.

Ironically, the best way to have a supported Chrome browser has always been to buy a Windows PC. Google will continue to support every single Windows 7 PC until January 15th, 2023, an operating system released 13 years ago, in 2009. Most Windows 7 PCs can also run Windows 10 for free, which punts that out probably at least another decade, but with no end of life officially yet set.

Meanwhile, Chromebooks have a three year lifecycle, and LOL if you spent real money on one.
It's hard to beat JavaScript because the VMs are amazing. If you know a few tricks, like how to let the VM know you want integer math [1], you can get performance that's not too far off from native C in many cases. If you have a JavaScript application with a few hot functions that are slow, optimizing the JavaScript usually makes more sense than reaching for WASM.

Disclaimer: Former Red Hat employee

My info might be slightly outdated cause last I looked into it was a few months ago, but I would guess it's not terribly different. Yes both are essentially the same product. Main differences from user perspective are reliability of package servers and speed of updates, plus community experience if you get involved there (friendly tip: I suggest you stay the hell away from the cess pool that is Reddit. That whole site probably needs to die in a fire)

*Alma Linux:*

- Works closer with upstream (actually sends patches and participates with dev on CentOS)

- Backed by a for-profit company (which I consider a good thing for longevity and reliability, but of course there's a risk of profit and community incentives misalignment)

- Fastest on updates when upstream releases

- Friendly and appreciative (generally speaking) toward Red Hat (without which none of their business would be possible)

*Rocky Linux*

- "Community" owned, but backed by some corporate money

- Very volunteer-run. Have some paid employees working on but many volunteers

- Hostile (and sometimes hateful) toward Red Hat

I mostly use CentOS Stream though and that has been rock solid. I use Alma on my router and on a prod database server that will be nearly impossible to rebuild that I migrated to Alma from Cent, but CentOS feels better to me now than it did before changing to Stream.
The link title doesn't match to the article title so I suspected the comment wouldn't look as audacious in context. But actually it doesn't look much better. Here's the relevant snippet:

Interviewer: Implementing monetisation earlier in the process and conversation is certainly an angle that has seen pushback from some developers.

Riccitiello: Ferrari and some of the other high-end car manufacturers still use clay and carving knives. It’s a very small portion of the gaming industry that works that way, and some of these people are my favourite people in the world to fight with – they’re the most beautiful and pure, brilliant people. They’re also some of the biggest fucking idiots.

I’ve been in the gaming industry longer than most anybody – getting to the grey hair and all that. It used to be the case that developers would throw their game over the wall to the publicist and sales force with literally no interaction beforehand. That model is baked into the philosophy of a lot of artforms and medium, and it’s one I am deeply respectful of; I know their dedication and care.

Sure, he's not technically saying the fucking idiots and the anti-mtx devs overlap completely. But it would be hard for someone to convince me that he wasn't implying that. Also, it's a crafty bit of voodoo he does when he describes the previous era of well planned, well tested games that stood on their own once handed over to the publisher as having been thrown "over the wall." Makes it sound awfully bad when in reality it often meant the product was just better.

Ah well, he's financially incentivized to say all this crap so what can you do?
I don't see any reason why an ML algorithm wouldn't be able to extrapolate to novel ideas. Once it has learned some high dimensional subspace based on the examples given to it, I suppose it could search for areas outside that boundary which are in some way likely to be interesting.
Meh, virtue displays that still help people are fine by me.

I don't think this really helped anyone, but "dehumanizing" is an overreaction, IMO. "Mildly annoying" is probably the more accurate term.
Not even close to the same thing. Someone doing something to themselves that puts themselves in mortal danger isn't anywhere on the same level as wanting to eliminate an entire group of people based on some arbitrary attribute.

They should definitely be warned, and perhaps be put into therapy with a professional, but self harm isn't social darwinism. It's just a mental health issue.
Yes and no. They are a sign of development, in that prices are high because there are enough people in the market with enough money to sustain these prices. Its a bad thing however because it means there isn't enough supply to keep prices reasonable for the actual real population versus just the top echelon that can afford these inflated rates on the shortened supply. The sticker shock doesn't matter as much as the relative buying power of hourly wages.
Mainstream gaming is dead to me and has been for 8-10 years. It seems focused on yearly sports releases (which could really be 100mb rooster update packs), endless reskined Ubisoft sandboxes and the latest iteration of that shooter you've already bought 12 times before.

Obviously im in the wrong..... This is what the market wants apparently. My 80k of disposable yearly income can't compete with whatever auts Whale they can catch with "surprise mechanics". The buying public will vote with their wallets and the publishers will continue shovelling in bland paste to fill the demand void.
That kind of proves my point though doesn't it? There is a definite demand for bike lanes. However, civic participation is abysmal for everyone but the elderly who tend to be NIMBYs. If more people pitched in, we wouldn't have to rely the efforts of a few hyper-dedicated individuals.
A lot of anticheats used to work similarly back in the day. They’d set SeDebugPrivilege, and arbitrarily scan memory and files, then offload that data to some server. Truly behaving like malware.

Edit: Nowadays they take it a step further, like Vanguard. It’s a boot kit that injects a kernel mode driver right at the beginning of OS initialization,
The commercial support being offered is from 3rd parties, not from Rocky Linux itself.
Really? Aside from the dark red links on dark blue background, I couldn't disagree more - it's a rare example where picking custom colours for text & background really does work nicely.
Interesting observations from the comments in this thread so far:

- Nyxt merely integrates WebKit so isn't actually a browser, where a browser consists of an HTML and CSS parsing and rendering engine, plus, optionally, Js; this is disappointing insofar as the enormous HTML and CSS tower-of-Babel specs produced over the last 20+ years still are unproven by a from-scratch implementation

- professional web users other than on Mac OS use Chrome for webapps and FF for actual web sites (presumably b/c privacy features), giving rise to the perspective of separating-out extant web apps into containerized Electron apps in the future (where those aren't already eg MS Teams et al), so by chance we can get rid of the Js ballast and recent CSS atrocities and return to a healthy competitive browser landscape.
Yes, I read your earlier statement. Now what do you mean by the Regulators behavior?
OP:

I think your last point is an interesting arbitrary distinction, if you're going to make one. While Vancouver is pretty well regarded as a NA city with pretty decent transit infrastructure and other nice qualities, it does basically close after 2am which isn't as nice as a night owl. Transit stops almost completely around that time too.

Edit: None of this comment was meant to detract, just a comparison in agreement to the city I'm nore familiar with. Maybe Toronto's different
All the JS API provides is a way to give the user a savepoint on his history that he can go back to, correlate with others on the browser history, or do whatever he wants.

This is only a security issue because the browser developers want it to be. There's nothing on the standard saying that when you click back, it should go to the previous link inserted by JS, or that there must be a single button for everything, or that every site is treated the same way.

Anyway, removing the quite useful possibility of the browser remembering the history of the usage of an application won't solve the issue of browser innovation being destroyed or of malicious sites using any loophole available to get something out of you. For that we need browsers and basic web infrastructure that are focused on supporting your needs, what the current crop clearly isn't.
The quality of the political leadership is a direct consequence of what average people want from their leadership.

For the past decade or so the modus operandi has been:

1. Print more money, give it to bureaucrats and corporations

2. Toss in some non-monetary issue that will piss of ~50% of the population, while making the other ~50% feel entitled.

3. Promise one half to serve their interests by punishing the other half.

4. Print more money, give more to bureaucrats and corporations.

5. Rinse and repeat.

It seemed to work for over a decade: people gave up dreams of retirement, property ownership, having children, we were headed straight for normalizing living with parents while eating factory-produced bug proteins. Thankfully, the black-swan COVID-19 happened, the money printer got too cocky and people finally started to notice a problem.

The quality of life will decrease in the short term. But once enough people admit it's a bigger problem than being offended by what somebody on the Internet said, there will be finally demand for competent politicians offering viable solutions.
For a lot of them, their slave work is basically sitting in a cell so that the for-profit prison gets a paycheck from the government.

Is it more unethical than any other entity selling consulting for CentOS and Red Hat support?
I tried it but it left a dirty blob where it removed the thing from my photo. A bit underwhelming.
What a weird straw man; he did not hand her trash, he handed her flowers under the guise of doing him a quick favor, then ran off. I guess she could think of it as trash after he left and even if she did - you genuinely wouldn't think some random person handing you their trash is kind of a rude thing of them to do?
Yes, this is a good point to make explicitly, thank you. The support is from 3rd parties. Those 3rd parties are probably kicking some funding back, but I don't think Rocky is doing anything unethical by offering their rebuild or by accepting that money.

I think overall Rocky is a net positive for the world and for Red Hat.
Congrats, you're the problem.
