Why is a Chrome browser specifically required?

Let's have a popup that asks which browser you want to use. I am certain that Google is more than capable to create websites that work with any browser.
It's probable that there are more log4j type of exploits thats just waiting to be discovered. It's also becoming hard to tell which are private enterprises vs state sponsored cyber attack.

It just seems like there's no solution. If Java is this bad imagine how much more attack surface a npm heavy project. Not only that the seeming hardware knowledge of state sponsored attackers seem sophisticated enough to gain access at the vendor level, which forces us to question even the most trusted methodologies and dependency management.

1. Who talked about Linux?

2. Who said spam isn't a problem or that this act allows or even enforce to circumvent the strong privacy rules that the EU (not Apple) actually guarantees for their biggest single market in the world?

News flash: you can combat spam and scams while keeping open and exchangeable basic infrastructure, without any walled garden. Otherwise, following your logic Apple would need to ban access to protocols like IP instantly, as those can be used to transport spam and exchange openly information.

People rather argue that the safety excuse is BS and people do not require being a Linux expert to detect spam, that they can also get over the landline or in person knocking on the door, for that one needs common sense and some not completely bad education.

Docker simultaneously solves and creates problems here.

Step 1: Docker must be installed on all targets. This is not a given and is a new piece of overhead.

Step 2: The Dockerfile hopefully doesn't source from just "ubuntu:latest" and bring in the whole kitchen sink for this SINGLE APPLICATION.

Effectively if you are using Docker and deploying your script to Windows or macOS, you are saying "Hey, this script requires you to install linux in a VM to run this. Docker makes it easy. Go download 500mb of Docker and a couple hundred more mb of images to run this 800k script.
It is amusing that the replies/suggestions to your post recommend multiple different AWS solutions instead of Beanstalk. Definitely confirms the problem of AWS having a confusing amount of overlapping products
This sounds like a very software-engineery opinion. Not saying that you're wrong, I understand that on-call is not that important in software development. But as a System Administrator I think that on-call is useful, else we wouldn't notice any outages happening during the night and would then only start working on it in the morning.

Plus, we have customers who actually work during the night, be it timezones or specific industries, so we can't just ignore outages outside of our engineers work-times. And if you're selling SLAs to your customers with promised up-times etc. you better be able to detect and fix something ASAP.

Overall I think "On call is a symptom of poorly run company. It's a great signal that you should run far away from any place that requires it." is a bit too harsh of a statement.
There is also evidence that they might only work better than a typical placebo because the side effects make them an "active placebo", triggering a stronger placebo response. i.e. if you take a pill that doesn't make you feel any different, you may wonder if it's working, but if you feel weird and have unpleasant side effects then you know it's doing something.

This is particularly underappreciated in the research done on these drugs, because a double-blind study isn't actually double-blind if many of the participants can easily tell whether they're in the placebo group due to very noticeable side effects.

It's been mentioned in other comments, but I really recommend the work of Irving Kirsch on this; he's a brilliant scientist and his book The Emperor's New Drugs is a real eye-opener.

As an alternative / addition to the other suggestions, maintain an internal artifact store that syncs with upstream stores, but enforce that vulnerable versions aren't present. Block access to the upstream artifact stores so builds have to use the internal one.
What about... every other situation in space? One country decides its standard to bring guns into the ISS. Conflict starts on earth. Country with guns now holds hostage other astronauts.

Would the gun be smart to use inside a space craft? No. Would the gun work as intended inside a space craft? No. Could it possible cause damage that would kill everyone inside? Maybe.

Would it work as a tool to control others regardless? Yes.

It seems like you're being willfully naive or are just pro guns everywhere. Even space.

The primary purpose of public transport (within an urban area) is reducing traffic. The vast majority of people can use private vehicles just fine, and if traffic is not an issue, the rest can use taxis. Subsidized ones if necessary.

Reducing traffic is the primary goal. When there is less traffic, the city can reserve less space for streets and parking. That leaves more space for the purposes people are in the city for. Also, areas with fewer cars tend to be more pleasant than areas with heavy traffic.

Congestion and pollution are secondary issues.
Neither the article nor the comments provide a theory as to why it is such a train wreck.

Unlike most networking technologies (like Ethernet and WiFi) the Bluetooth spec specifies application level protocols (like audio encodings, metadata, etc).

You could imagine that could work in theory, but in practice, it means that each device's firmware reimplements all sorts of high level stuff.

Imagine you had to use an unpatchable web browser that was bundled with (and ran inside of) a $20 USB -> Ethernet dongle.
Nuclear ships are one of the dumbest ideas possible. Not from the technical point, various navies have proven it to be relatively safe, although there have been various incidents especially in (Soviet) Russia, but also in the US and UK [0] (and not to mention the Russians and Brits deliberately dumping nuclear reactors and ships [1]).

The problem with nuclear ships is piracy. Ships are already routinely robbed or otherwise attacked (see e.g. the current situation in the Black Sea, where merchant ships got hit by Russian rocketry or ran upon sea mines) - I do not even wish to think what efforts al-Quaeda or other terrorists would go to to obtain nuclear material from a ship, and if it's only enough for dirty bombs.

Additionally, there is also the "rat race to the bottom" that you mentioned: Maritime operators already go to flag states where they have the lowest requirements on crew pay, workplace safety and other rules (such as not requiring double hulls for oil tankers) and enforcement of the rules that exist usually is non-existent unless you fuck up so badly that the flag state all but is forced to intervene. The situation will be just the same for nuclear ships, but the stakes of a nuclear disaster are much MUCH higher - think of the Halifax explosion [2] and add nuclear fallout.

Not quite as bad, but my Subaru is similar. If I'm in the car with my phone when it turns on it connects immediately almost every time.

If I remote start the car and then go out to it it probably connects about 1/5 times. Another 1/5 I can go into the bluetooth settings and manually initiate the connection and it'll work. But a full 60% of the time I have to turn the entire car off and on again for the bluetooth to finally sort its shit out. Thankfully no 10 minute wait necessary.
We are offsetting all our emissions via the Bend Offsets Plan, so the carbon footprint of your $100 Bend subscription is credibly net-zero :)

And yes, line-item and other "level 3" data is very exciting to us techies—unfortunately it's also really difficult to access! One of the reasons we like the Bend model is that it simplifies/abstracts away from that by looking at your total contribution to a company's bottom-line as the source of truth for emissions, which prevents a kind of "line item greenwashing."

But yes, in the future it would be nifty to sync in level 3 data from receipts or something to factor that into our calculations!

And the corollary: since code is harder to read than write, steer clear of writing clever code where simple code would suffice, as the clever code will be much harder to read.

Kotlin took an entirely different approach, one that I agree with. It can easily interact with dozens of other languages because of it.

For a bus line with only a few people replacing the bus with a car is going to reduce pollution on net. Replacing a full bus with a number of full vans will be bad for the environment, of course, but on most routes and most of the time busses aren't full. Ideally we would use a mixture of busses and vans depending on the demand for a particular route.

I think it's important to know what problem the no-unused-imports error is solving. See Rob Pike's talk from 2012, and in particular, the section of dependencies in C++: https://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article#TOC_5.

Basically, the point of no-unused-imports is to reduce compilation time at scale. In the C++ ecosystem, there are lots of redundant and unused #includes. This means that a lot of the bytes sent to the C++ compiler are just thrown away. If you can guarantee that the compiler will never need to look at a source file it does not need to, you can cut down on the compilation time. For small projects, this doesn't matter much. For large projects, it does. Go was designed for large projects.
Low testosterone and too little exercise, just my opinion.

I guess it depends on your definition of "work". Starting a company would be working on my own vision, in a sense, but my paycheck would still be beholden to market forces. I want to spend time on ideas that are important to me without worrying about monetizing them — programming experiments, games, music, etc.

I just got mine a couple of days ago. I'm really impressed with how well its built and how polished the software is. It is much more polished than any other similar (useful!) hacking/debugging hobbyist devices I've bought. Its clear a lot of thought and care has gone into it.
Years ago, I was a second-shift operator in a computer center for an insurance company. We ran production jobs on an IBM mainframe. When jobs would crash we would write up the error on an ABEND form (IBM called crashes ABENDs for ABnormal END), collect the printout and call the programmer responsible. One night a production job crashed late in my shift about 10:30-11 pm and I woke up the programmer responsible. He seemed really groggy and it took a few minutes for me to describe the crash to him. I would always try to be helpful and suggest options for recovery (you got to know the programmers and what their recommendations would be based on the type of production job). Usually they would hold the job, restart it or say they were coming in to fix, this was back in the day where if they could log in remotely, it was with a clunky CRT terminal.

The programmer told me to just restart the job, I noted that on the form. I came in the next day and my boss called me into his office, his boss was there too. They wanted to know why I restarted the job, which caused all kinds of corruption to the database. They had spent the better part of the day recovering the database, then running the batch job, which meant that that system was unavailable for use by the agents.

The programmer swore up and down he did not tell me to restart the job, said I never called him! He was that deep into sleep. But on the form I noted the time I called him and his response to restart the job, so they believed me.

This highlights a problem with people responsible for multi-million dollar systems being woken up in the middle of the night and having to make quick critical decisions.
Oh my gosh, I didn't know where this was going with the half-naked shaved guys until you said, "Songs of Innocence"... and immediately it became a shared experience. If I could somehow tell my phone, "NEVER play Apple Music, always defer to Spotify if you have to auto-play anything", I'd do it in a heartbeat.
True, countless times I had to fix friends/family android tablets and phones where all of the sudden apps stopped working and will boot crash . It is always some crap like apps messing settings and permissions or play not being updated etc… I converted most of family to iPhone/iPad problem solved.

I am a tech person but when it comes to phones I want the damn thing just to work and simple to use.
I think more teams should recognize that some features/products/functionality (especially at large companies is not worth paging for.

Obviously if a customer can't access their bank account or sell a stock then someone needs to be woken up, but if an endpoint has high latency or a business can't fire off a marketing campaign ASAP it can mean entire teams of engineers can avoid the worst parts of oncall - the feeling of dread of waiting on the "ba-dum" in the middle of the night and questions about making plans outside of work - just by shifting oncall to noisily page during business hours only.

Imho individual cars should be banned except maybe for people with disabilities. They simply make people hateful, angry at everyone and generally unhappy. And an awful lot of space is wasted for them to stay parked most of the time.

Between 15 to 50% of the existing roads should be dedicated to non motorized use (depending on the geography, moutains can pose some challenges at times), the rest to a dense network of autonomous buses and last miles autonomous delivery trucks. Long range goods transport should be allowed only on railways, we could remove space used by multilane highways to reallocate them to rail.

You can, but in that scenario, oil becomes a niche product that is very expensive, because for everything that doesn't need oil it's significantly cheaper and more efficient to just use whatever energy source you're using for Y in your example.

In this scenario, oil power plants can't operate anymore anyway, so demand for oil probably gets relegated to stuff like classic cars.

> These days, the service runs about 37,000 trips a week, Lentz said, or more than two and a half times the 26,000 rides the old bus system ran in a typical, pre-pandemic week.

Are "trips" different from "rides" in some way that makes this arithmetic correct?
I read the title and immediately thought of the Carbon API that was used in Classic Macintosh and legacy C/C++ GUI apps on OS X.

> But they are not immutable in the sense that you couldn’t change the history of e.g. a branch.

That sentence doesn't make sense, though. Assuming from context that `they` = commits,

"[commits] are not immutable in the sense you couldn't change the history of a branch"

Branches and tags are mutable - they're just pointers to commits - but that doesn't change whether or not commits are immutable.

When you "change" the history of a branch, what git is really doing is creating another series of new commits, and then making the branch pointer point to the new commits. However, because commits are immutable, the old commits are still there, and at any time you can go back.

I don't think the fact that you keep discovering features is a bad sign for a tool like git. It would be a bad sign if you kept discovering new footguns in the features you use (there is a fair bit of software like that).

I'm 25 and a couple weeks ago I discovered a new way to use a knife to prepare a fish, even though I've been doing that all my life. I don't think knives or fish have bad UX, even though I keep discovering new ways to use knives on fish. What's important is that I don't keep discovering new ways to hurt myself with knives.

But democracy isn't really about numbers, just power and propaganda. It's never been one person one vote. The urban rural divide has been going on for decades if not centuries, and still the rural areas have disproportionate power and the cities almost none (at the federal level). Various systems from the electoral college to campaign finance to the bilateral congress to the courts serve to purposely dilute the individual electoral power of each citizen,transferring power to political dynasties instead... to the point that what we have is way closer to a corrupt oligarchy than any meaningful sort of democracy.

Ultimately the citizens of LA don't have any meaningful political power outside of Sacramento. Water is a multi state thing and the urban dwellers have loud voices but no meaningful representation. They can yell all they want, but most of the country by area doesn't care about them. By population they should win every issue, but they haven't for decades because we don't actually have a democracy.

I've always assumed this is a bug. Why isn't it just resuming from whatever you were last listening to? And why is this still an issue after so long?

This is one of those things that Steve Jobs would have fired people on the spot for.
I think it’s because both systems are bounded and cut out a lot of real world complexity, and since these simplified systems are easier to understand than the real world the certainty and confidence they provide become addictive. Similar to video games in that way.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing though because we’re always working with a simplified system whatever we’re doing in life, the question is just how much is it helping people. Chess provides entertainment and personal challenge, coding provides ridiculous productivity. All things in moderation though.

Yeah, but now you can choose which walled garden you lock yourself up in, so it's even better.
The platform is really about uploading strictly annotated loops and stems to the server and have them exposed via an API. The DAW thing your looking at is really just away to preview the content. So I'm trying to see how far I can push it.
But for an electronic game, players can’t discriminate between AIs that are incredibly good (and thus could be something expert players try to emulate) and AIs that cheat (and thus frustrate experts). In this example, I think the AI is close to cheating, if not doing it already. It seems to know awfully well how slippy the road surface is.

“This back-and-forth between GT Sophy and the game happens 10 times a second, which Wurman and his colleagues claim matches the reaction time of human players” already may mean the AI is cheating.

A literal interpretation has the AI get live data every 100ms, and react as soon after that as it wants (given current CPUs, that could easily be within a ms), while humans act more as if they receive data from x ms ago, and react y ms later (with x and y in the tens of ms)

In another world where, say, I was truly brilliant, I reckon I'd think and behave similarly to Feynman as I've too many diverse interests to focus continually on the same research for decades.

However, the ultimate 'human-thinking AI machine' of the 20th Century and perhaps of all time was John von Neumann. Not only did he have a huge range of diverse interests and a phenomenal photographic memory but he excelled par excellence at everything he touched.

Because of institutional corruption. Lawrence Lessig has some great talks about this topic, here's one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okfLPvBjImM Here's another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxCo2bE9Gtk

(Lawrence Lessig, a law professor, was one of the founders of Creative Commons. He later tried to change US copyright laws to be more consumer-friendly, but concluded that it's almost impossible to do so as long as corporate interests rule politics. He then shifted his research topics to institutional corruption in politics. He actually ran for presidency a few years ago, with funding only from the popuplation, and limited to a certain amount. It failed, he wasn't even invited to TV debates because "if he doesn't take company money he doesn't have a chance".)
