It's been an interesting path. It went from the early days where you'd post just about anything, then people tightened up on what felt "good enough" and some of the charm was lost. I got the sense that people became more anxious about what reached that "good enough" mark. A friend who was making a living from putting up Instagram content just abruptly started turning down money and stopped posting. No one should be fretting about sharing content because they worry about how their grid looks - it's idiotic. I think that slowdown in content in part (also, fending off rivals) brought about Stories.

I grew to appreciate Stories as a way to tell the behind-the-scenes story of the main feed highlight shot/video. And the ability to save those screens into actual stories (of an outing or a project).

Then they ramped up ads, added Reels and wrecked the way the main feed works with integrating Reels. Reels feels like the step too far. Revert the main feed UI, let me switch off all suggested content (not just for 30 days, you bastards), tone down the ads, and I'll be OK.
Ha! And I thought that the same person writing bzip2 and Val grind is my surprise for the day.

I see a lot of appeals to "fund people, not projects", but the main issue I have with it is that I think it strongly biases people to select "super stars" who have impressive credentials / come from high status organizations.

Please, someone, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is essentially how the European Commission allocates scientific funding--professors basically get big block grants to fund their labs to do whatever. Then there are some big grants that go to institutions, with those like ETH Zurich soaking up a lot of the funds, and then those institutions can distribute to the smaller ones as they see fit. Rubbing up to high-profile professors at ETH or GeoForschungsZentrum feels a lot like petitioning King Frederic of Prussia, rather than anything merit-based.

It's really not clear to me that this is a better system; at least in my field (geosciences) I don't think that the European labs are more innovative or productive than their American counterparts, which is what the 'fund people, not projects' idea is supposed to enable. Furthermore, it completely blocks nonacademic research funding, or much project-specific funding. For example, I work for an applied science nonprofit based in Italy, and we have a lot of ideas that would (in principle) be big hits at NSF, but there is no real avenue to fund ~€100-300k projects on an ad-hoc/project-specific basis.
It'd be more like if McDonald's used the same ingredients and stuffed them into taco and burrito shapes and lazily renamed themselves to something like mcdonaria, had their employees say hola when you walk in and their receipts say gracias...

The issue is Facebook misunderstand both their customers and their competition so they're just blindly smashing things together

I blame modern tech hiring processes that filter out people who aren't conforming enthusiastic obedient cheerleaders.

You get a sustain and self-extinguish product instead of one that can respond to what the necessity of the times demand

You must have passionate grumps otherwise you're just shaking pom-poms as you run over a cliff.
It's mystifying - I can't imagine having this much energy period, let alone devoting it to being a negative in other people's lives.

I feel similarly about Putin invading Ukraine. How do you get up in the morning so motivated and full of energy to order kids to go massacre other kids? I can barely muster the juice to write a few lines of code and hit the gym.

It isn’t just a buzzword though. I take it to mean “sys admin handled for you” but there is a spectrum. Clearly with this if you self host it is serverful again to some extent.

Serverless means not dealing with user accounts, operating systems, opening ports, nginx, updates etc.
This doesn't have anything to do with remote work.

If you are ruminating, it means your aren't engaging in reality. Do something physical.
No.

Facebook DOES NOT OWN social networking. Facebook improved on an existing design at the right time, PERIOD! Now, as before, the world has moved on, and the bubble has burst. The laggards in 3rd world countries will flock to the next service to disrupt social media, just like before. Facebook innovated at a time when mobile phones were being delivered to these countries. Not because they were a superior service or somehow godlike in its ability to hold mindshare. Tiktok, by its very nature, is its own worse enermy. Chinas economy is crumbling as we speak, and its not going to be long before the CCP will get caught with their hands in the cookie jar. No one makes money in China without authority from the superme leader. And No one can be more famous then the supreme leader. Tiktok, tiktok; Huawi 2.0.
Apple would sell exactly one kind of burger, which is great but costs $20. The wrapper is rose gold or space grey. Only Apple-certified condiments can be applied to the burgers, and a packet of ketchup is $5. Each year the faithful queue outside for the privilege of obtaining the latest burger.
Doomscrolling. Once you're aware of it, you see it everywhere.
Windows 11 requires hardware that enables this capability. Any Windows certified client systems have required this since 2014. Pluton provides no attestation capabilities that are not present in TPMs.
Most of the issues get resolved like this if they are not used to such things constantly by many people, in which case you may need an organised crowd of people with similar issue gathering for one thing. Perhaps that is called a protest.
Thank you very much. I'll definitely look at that.
Oh wow cool niche question!

Keeping complexity down is going to be the main issue (isn’t it always). Music software can get very complex unfortunately.

Is your daughter set on doing this “in the box” (on computer)? My first thought is that physical equipment might have easier (or at least more satisfying for a child) learning curves.

Hopefully someone can hop in with concrete equipment for mixing or Linux software advice. Mac guy myself.
Your overall point is valid (there are lifetime constraints that mean you shouldn't rely on unpowered SSDs for long term archiving) but IMHO your post is overly pessimistic.

The spec is 1 year minimum for client and 3mo for server, but most drives exceed that.

This thread includes a response from a Micron rep:

https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/944779-enterprise-ssd...

"The very most important thing to realize when looking at these charts is that the data retention number stated are for SSDs which have reached the end of their useful life. They're worn out. If you have an enterprise-class SSD which is rated for 5 petabytes of writes over its lifetime (just to pick a typical number) , then you will not see this 3 month data retention number until you've actually written 5 petabytes to the drive. When NAND Flash is brand new out of the box, the data retention is actually several years (although we typically don't rate data retention when new).

Honestly, Flash-based storage probably isn't optimal for unpowered archiving. That three-month, EOL spec reflects this. In enterprise computing, when the NAND lifetime is used up, the intent should be to move any important data to a new device (or wipe the old device for security reasons).

In client computing (notebooks and desktops), we rarely see the typical user getting to the point where NAND wearout is a concern, so we rarely see data retention as an issue, either.

So, you needn't be concerned about data retention until your SSD gets really, really old."
A standard uncompressed CT slice is ~512kb, so multiply that by the number of slices. Angiograms tend to be much larger as well.
You need the government to step in and run them (they could be used by schools too!). The government will get more tax $ later from the makers when they get high paying jobs.

They could be sponsored like meetups by big employers too.
Most people just don't "get" desktop OS paradigms, or how web pages work, or any of that, and they don't really care to.

That's because they "won't miss freedom they never had".
Windows has had TPM 2.0 since 2016, and remote attestation can be accomplished with the TPM only without Pluton being necessary. However, Pluton has its own issues and appears to make implementing attestations easier, by supporting different attestation protocols - and by potentially receiving new updates for that functionality later on. Pluton is also significantly stronger against attacks which have occurred on TPMs previously.

I haven't seen data on this, but my intuition is the opposite: that all violent crime would tend to be correlated with the murder rate. That's partly because any violent crime can easily escalate to a murder. Maybe I'm wrong though. I'm not finding a clear answer with some cursory googling, but I'd imagine this has been studied.
there are hybrid and ev large trucks now, as well as 4-cyl turbo. truck doesn’t mean large engine.
> their customers

Just so we're clear, the users are NOT the customers. I think Facebook absolutely understands their customers -- the companies that spend the most advertising and marketing through Facebook.
> There’s really no viable platform anymore where you can just go passively keep up with what friends and acquaintances are doing.

IMO it’s pointless to “passively keep up with what friends and acquaintances are doing”. We should either actively keep up (thus actually maintain the relationship), or let it go~

Yes, I remember testing socat as well for that purpose,
and it worked great. Since I didn't have much other use for it
at that point, I still went with rlwrap in the end.

I imagine you can really do a lot with socat, though.
An impressive tool.

As for sam, the 9front version has a few additions
(_ and ^) that make it quicker to manipulate the selected range
with commands in sam's language that are stored in an external file [1].
Too bad this isn't included out of the box in the Unix versions.
When one is using sam -d, this would give a more streamlined workflow
for more complex editing tasks (no
need to write external scripts in another language, sed, awk, etc).

There was a 9front sam port for Unix somewhere as well, though,
but I haven't tried to build it.

List purchases are a whole thing in the industry. It's actually a big line to cross. But it's far from a universal behavior that organizations deal in.

So I will say I have witnessed some amount of "grey market" lists (Tech Target, Experts Exchange, etc). But in my professional opinion, all these seem to do is generate garbage leads and unsubscribes.
but the capability of doing plenty even on that tiny ROM was there.

That sounds more like he just got the BIOS erased and replaced with something else entirely, rather than something intended to parasitically coexist.

Also, for a while, they had write-protect jumpers.
This seems obvious to the younger generation but “my friends who live in X” works just fine on Facebook. I know the older (my) generation is used to more filters but google/fb/ig/tt handle context-free queries fine by default.
They are a complete disaster. Unusable.

Pro tip, you will get better service in the Drive-Thru. The large majority of their sales come from there, and they prioritize filling drive thru orders to keep the line moving.
Irony. McDonald's was instrumental in creating Chipotle -- literally making burritos & tacos. Not at all dissimilar from Facebook & Instagram.
Seinfeld talks a bit more in depth about his writing strategy in a podcast he did with Tim Ferriss:

podcast: https://tim.blog/2020/12/08/jerry-seinfeld/
transcript: https://tim.blog/2020/12/09/jerry-seinfeld-transcript/

The basic gist is to set a small manageable goal every day, and that you're just looking for progress. You don't second guess it, or agonize, you just do it. After you've done it, that's when you review your work with a critical eye for improvement.

I don't really think what Seinfeld talks about there is so much about procrastination, it's about improving at your craft. You can improve at your craft every day while still procrastinating on your important to do list.
> year after year, he performs, creates, and entertains at an incredibly high standard.

That's a strange way of saying "had one incredible show 20+ years ago and never did anything worth watching again". Comedians in Cars was so boring (and doesn't require the strategy above). The standup ive seen him do since the show ended was pretty mediocre too.
An interesting case of logistics deciding outcomes is the North Africa campaign in World War II. It's discussed in Daniel Yergin's "The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power" in some depth, and there are a few other sources.

Essentially, this is where the code-breaking efforts of Bletchley Park had a major result. The reason that Rommel had such shortages of fuel, according to Yergin and other sources, was that Enigma intercepts allowed the Allies to destroy several critical fuel convoys, limiting Rommel's maneuverability:

https://www.e-education.psu.edu/egee120/node/242

> "General Rommel was committed to a war of movement and boldness. In addition to his talent for tactics, he could also improvise. One thing he could not do, however, was fake the fact that mobile warfare was absolutely dependent upon ample supplies of fuel. Fuel supplies had to be delivered along very long supply lines."

> "The grand strategy failed due to a number of reasons including, Allied attacks on German fuel supply lines, the fierce Russian resistance, and Allied code breakers. Clearly, the bitter lesson learned by Rommel is illustrated by his statement, "The bravest men can do nothing without guns, the guns nothing without plenty of ammunition, and neither guns nor ammunition are of much use in mobile warfare unless there are vehicles with sufficient petrol to haul them around."

In particular see:
https://www.nytimes.com/1974/12/29/archives/the-ultrasecret-...

> "During the campaigns in North Africa, Ultra kept Gen. B. L. Montgomery informed fairly exactly of Gen. Erwin Rommel's order of battle and, in some cases, of his plans. It also enabled the British to know when supply ships would sail from Italy - and to sink them, thus eventually starving Rommel of vital fuel."

My grandfather was shipped into North Africa after Rommel's defeat as part of the US Navy SeaBees construction battalion, to prepare for the Allied invasion via Italy. Ever since I learned about this, I've wondered whether without those Enigma intercepts and those sunked fuel tankers, how things might have turned out.

The 80s covered the end of the cold war, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the Iron curtain, so surely you're not including that decade.

The 90s covered the fall and breakup of one of two world powers, and had a gulf war and the breakup/war in Yugoslavia, so that's similarly rules out.

The 00s covered terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and London, changing air travel worldwide, starting wars and inspiring more terrorism (Madrid, Mumbay). Oh, and a financial meltdown compared to the Great Depression. So that's probably also not in your "last few decades".

That leaves the 2010s, which cover (amongst others) the start of the corona pandemic. I guess you're including that event in your "recent decades".

Plenty omitted from the above, such as famines and wars in Africa, news from Latin-America, "where's my vote" in Iran, the Arab Spring, Rohinga & Myanmar, ...; in short: we've been in a couple of tumultuous decades for a while now.
This is so delusional it's laughable.

> Now you're grossly missing the point. The problem isn't the status quo, it's the system.

That is my point. A system in which any of the fortune 500 companies can come into existence is grossly broken on multiple levels. Companies should be afraid of getting more than 10% of a worldwide market for fear of real anti-competition laws coming into effect rather than the farce we have now, or of vertically integrating too much, and should only make proprietary interfaces as a last resort.

A company being in a position to unilaterally change web standards, and force a monopoly on their web browser to further monopolise their advertising business should be grounds for splitting it into pieces at the very least, and seizing it in its entirety as the expected oitcome if they exercise that power.

> Capitalism can work in the tech sector at this scale,

The surveillance state and pending apocalypse we live in where you get jailed for successfully fighting in court says that it really can't. Any regulation or democratic control is ephemeral when you are systematically assigning more power to megacorps on a daily basis.

TBH this is also exactly what Google tried to do with Google+ back in the day. Facebook was a new model that provided online folks with a new and more personal experience, which scared Google management, so they tried to pivot the whole company to become a social network, including forcing their users to abandon their pseudonyms and reveal their irl identity, despite the original implicit social contract allowing pseudonyms. It was idiotic. You would think Facebook would have learned from their primary competitor's (at the time) mistake.
lmao whoever wrote that sounds pretty far up their own ass.
Smaller nations rarely win wars. Consider the success rate of the various Native American groups against the US.

The better metric is how interested you are in pursuing a war for the length of time necessary--it's a lot harder to get people to care about a war halfway across the other world than it is when it's prime farmland just next door.

Can downvoters please explain why you disagree?

Disclaimer, I've never been here, I don't know what it's like, don't know anyone involved. But I do see four 3D printers nearly touching each other on a benchtop. If you're setting up a printer and you accidentally bump into another while it's running, you misalign it and ruin someone else's long-running print job. This crowding, compared with what appears to be an expansive and sparsely furnished co-working desk area, raises questions of how effectively the space has been managed for its community's needs. If each desk gets a lot more use than each printer, someone please tell me I'm wrong.

I aspire to start a simple, affordable, FLOSS-oriented co-working space someday, so I want to learn from cases like this.
I expect you’re meaning product management here rather than project management, yes?
Why do people insist on begging and pleading? Something like a hacker space ain't no charity.

Look at the books, at the numbers, make some form of concrete or possible plan for recovery. Don't just beg for assistance from governments or mysterious angels.

Even places that went through renovation or were funded by an angel happened for a reason. Maybe that was for good PR, because they had some personal memories there. Or it was funded via their charity for a tax break.

People beg too much these days and don't think for themselves. Why?
Spending a few minutes coming back to FB after this article, the chronological feed and news feed seem pretty similar in terms of content. Maybe that's just who I'm friends with though.
Makerspaces are very much like schools. They really fill the gap left by the loss of shop classes in many K-12 programs. Sure, many 'students' find them after they become adults, but it's still filling that gap.
This is incredibly cool, thank you for sharing.
Outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, the murder rate was highly correlated with the violent crime rate. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became less correlated as more people died due to a lack of available emergency healthcare while hospital systems were overloaded.

For looking up a business it's always Google/Website, Yelp, and Instagram for me.
