Back in the day, at this stage on the Mac, there was a universality to the data exchange.

The Mac had, among other things, four core data types: text, rich text, bitmap, and PICT.

PICT was an object based drawing (lines, circles, boxes), in contrast to a bitmap.

My memory is vague on Multiplan (I used it at the time, as a spreadsheet). But there was another program called MacChart. Either Multiplan didn't support charting (seems unlikely), or I was simply blind to it.

But, consider this simple workflow: Enter numbers into Multiplan, with all its calculating fun. Copy the column of numbers, hit Cmd-] (I think it was on Switcher), and now you're in MacChart. Paste that column, and you get your instant Pie chart, or Bar chart. Hit Copy again, Cmd-] again to MacDraw, and paste that chart in to MacDraw. Add your lines, labels, whatever you wanted to do to doctor the chart up that MacChart didn't do. All the elements of the chart are editable. The wedges, the rectangles, lines and axis, text etc. Copy again, CMD-], now you're in MacWrite. Paste it in there in the middle of your text. Add the "Figure 1", hit the "Center" button, print it on the LaserWriter, at full resolution (vs a 72 DPI bitmap on a 300 DPI printer). Back then we'd admonish folks that were using space to line up text in MacWrite or MacDraw, as it did not line up properly when printer on the LaserWriter. The ImageWriter was WYSIWYG, but the LaserWriter had more WYGIWIGY (What You Get Is What I Gives You). So, you instead should use ruler tabs and what not, vs the space character.

MacChart took rows of text and charted them. (The calculator desk accessory would sum a column of numbers if you pasted it in to it.) The results of the Multiplan calculations. MacDraw was, essentially, a PICT editor. I don't know if it stored PICTs, but it certainly worked with them as native. And then you stomped them into your MacWrite document.

If you pasted them in to MacPaint, then, boom, it's a bitmap, and you can do all your bitmappy things to it (one way trip, the PICT is lost).

Combined with Switcher (this was pre-Multifinder), at the time, not only was this an extraordinary demo (yea, it was a jaw dropping demo), it was an extraordinary reality. It WORKED!

I spent a lot of time doing this, making slides (printed on transparencies on the LaserWriter). I was on loan to this other group in the company, the manager tried to hire me away because of my l33t Chart and Draw skillz.

I don't know today if I pasted some graphics from Mac Keynote into MS Powerpoint if the it would go over as separate objects or what. I remember trying to paste some graphics from Visio into Powerpoint and it spit up its lunch. It certainly did not Just Work. I was aghast that these two MS products did not seamlessly work together (yes, I know they bought Visio...but, still...).

It's hard to convey how simple this all was. How it all "just worked", with no surprises. On this tiny little beige box with a 9" screen that "nobody considered as a serious computer".

Those few clipboard types where pretty universally respected and it let tools "do one thing well". Switcher let you stitch them together.

I didn't realize Cloudflare R2 was available yet. Took a look based on your mention... "currently in beta". But you can still just sign up and use it already?

Anyone here done that and want to report back?

Ah, I found this posted by it's author elsewhere in these threads:

Very useful. Wait.... "no public access" AND "no pre-signed URLs"? Am I misunderstanding what that means? That would seem to make this not use cases of serving files to end-users? or what am I missing?

Interesting. It looks like this day is almost here.
Afaik Backblaze has maintenance every Thursday during which they don’t guarantee uptime.
But we didn’t blow ourselves back to the stone age in the 50s and 60s. This fate turned out to be not quite as inevitable as “A Canticle” would seem to suggest.

Yet evidence pointing to this outcome was all around us during the Cold War, right up to the late 1980s. Development of new and more potent weapons. Serious accidents or near accidents - one crazy one I remember hearing about was one side almost launching a retaliatory barrage when the radar gave a false positive for an incoming attack. Proxy wars. Opaque succession plans in the USSR, China, North Korea, and Cuba. Sabre-rattling and standoffs all over the world.

In elementary school in the 1970s we didn't have to do "Duck and Cover" but we did have drills involving classes marching in a line down to the basement which had signs marking it as a "Fallout Shelter." Sometimes I still see them. (History: https://www.wgbh.org/news/2018/01/23/local-news/what-do-thos...)

When I got a little older, I can't tell you how unsettling it was to see serious looking people talking on the nightly news about some incident on the North Korean border, or a power struggle in Moscow after Brezhnev died, or how many thousands of ICBMs each side had pointing at each other. How fucked up is it that 15 year old me understood concepts like MIRV (https://armscontrolcenter.org/multiple-independently-targeta...) or the U.S. maintaining a bunch of B-52s loaded with nukes in the air at all times?

The news we saw and read was reinforced through pop culture that drove home the idea that we would blow ourselves to bits. In high school in the mid-1980s we were assigned Canticle as well as Neville Shute's On The Beach, which follows a similarly depressing narrative (northern hemisphere covered by radiation, southern slowly dying off, what people do as the inevitable gets closer). Red Dawn. Firefox. Reruns of Dr. Strangelove. Or the TV series The Day After.

We couldn't believe it when crowds climbed on the Berlin Wall in November 1989. That's when people were able to rub their eyes and think just maybe we weren't going to kill ourselves.
The child can just view the photo. The only things that happen are:

2) parents are informed that their child received such content

Missunderstood that part. I'd edit and correct the comment, but due to the edit time limit I cannot.

This is in the same bucket as those who write off several personalities that do well as coders as some combination of neurotic, antisocial and/or weak. Can you find humorous or even personal anecdotes matching the stereotype? Sure. Will carrying that stereotype harm your ability to interact with those people, even biasing your interactions to the worst in their lot? Obviously.

If you are in possession or are likely to be in possession of inside information, there are severe restrictions on how you can trade. Many companies will have trading windows on normal employees and more extreme limits on leadership.

We have a vehicle for how such insiders can divest themselves of stock. It's called a 10b5-1 trading plan [1]. With advance planning the security holder can divest themselves of their holdings without discretion that could be misconstrued as trading on inside information.

Every member of the House, the Senate and the White House as well as all of their direct family members should be subject to those same restrictions. It is utterly outrageous that the likes of Joe Manchin can be chair of the Senate Energy Committee while directly benefitting from his brother's coal company or Nancy Pelosi's husband is just the most amazing stock trader in recent history.

We haven't even scratched the surface of the level of corruption by government officials here. High on that list should be the $2 billion Saudi Arabia gave to Jared Kushner's "fund" with a 1.25% management fee. Kushner can quite literally just keept in in the bank and collect $25 million per year.

Being a non native English speaker I also found that wording a bit odd. To me reads like you don't sue them in the future if they commit the same exact type of violation, that is, if they spam you again, while it now seems clear that the purpose is to avoid being sued twice or more for one violation.

Mirror concert accident 'a fortune out of misfortune'
The CEO is "close to the money" but in many, possibly most companies makes less than the highest performing sales people.

The sales person's job is quite precarious and the tenure is often quite short.

Sales people (except the VP) rarely get options. It's all cash.
Making things illegal, or, rather, enforcing those laws, is an uphill battle if you don't also structure the incentives in such a way that it's easier to follow them than to break them.

Also what does "make corruption illegal" even mean? Corruption takes many forms, and there will always be loopholes through which the most savvy can escape legal repercussions. I would much rather structure things so not being corrupt is just the easier, better, more natural choice. That's also not easy, but sounds more achievable to me.
I mean they announced pricing already and it's much cheaper.... And are you implying that if AMD prices GPUs cheaply doesn't impact Nvidia?
So let me get this straight.

Nice find on the Unplugged <--> Liberty Phone connection. As I suspected, this is yet another example of a company looking to make a quick buck from people who want to "stick it to big tech" while hilariously trying to hide the fact they're white labeling an obscure phone made by a Chinese ODM and shipping a totally-not-AOSP fork (while claiming they're independent from Google, lol).
> drivers belong to the kernel

Pre-Windows Vista, Sound drivers were responsible for a double digit % of Windows crashes.

So they got ripped out.

And video cards drivers aren't exactly the most famously reliable bits of code, having the entire display subsystem be restartable is an amazing boon to stability.

That is one of the things Windows popularized. Auto-mount is a Linux thing. Heck I remember circa 2005 being yelled at online because I expected my USB mouse to work under Linux when I plugged it into my laptop, something Windows had been doing since 1997 or so.
No it's not. Being independent just means your personal identity isn't "My political party is X." There's still your mental image of yourself and it shapes your opinions ("What would do I think the kind of person I want to be would think about an issue like this?"). This is pretty much inescapable.

I mean, yes. If everyone else is nose the grindstone to get something out door and feels on the verge of failing, then buying a new car is a leadership failure. Not because it's necessary bad in and of itself, but because it makes everyone else feel bad.

>TensorDock doesn't actually own any of the server

Vaguely recall reading they're using a mixed model, but OP will hopefully confirm
If I go to Verizon.com right now and select iPhone 13 Pro Max I can get a base phone for $30.55/mo over 36 months. That is equal to 1099.8 which is the the same price (if not less) than the 1099.9 if I bought it out right.

That $30.55 DOES NOT include the price of the contract, which costs an additional $85.00 for 5G Ultraband. I would have to pay $85 whether or not I bought a 0% interest phone, bought it at full retail or brought my own phone.

So no, I don't see where the "double" is coming from. It's just math.
This argument is all over the place.

The history of allegations of vote rigging goes back to the 19th century; there were loud, public allegations regarding at least Kennedy, Clinton, Bush, and Obama before Trump. What was notable, of course, about Trump's rigging claims is that they were accompanied by an actual effort to overturn the election, something that has no precedent. That wasn't the "elites"; that was an outsider effort.

Election denialism clearly isn't a reaction to a rejection of institutional norms by elites, unless we're talking about elites during the time of Tilden.

I might agree with you about the filibuster, the Tea Party (bad, but not batshit), and the refusal to confirm Garland. But that doesn't help your argument, which is I think fatally broken.
Oh yeah, I remember cousin Jimmy, always dissecting toads and weird sh*t like that. Wonder what he's up to nowadays?
Sorry, it seems like a whole lessons section is missing from the app. The only way someone can learn currently is by guessing all of the quiz sections.

First question received: "The best indicator of freshness for ground beef is: a) smell, b) whether it was frozen, c) the manufacture date, d) color.

The answer "a" smell was marked incorrect, "c" manufacture date was the "correct one". Uh... maybe... unless it wasn't stored properly.

Other questions: Is all ground beef the same? How long can fresh ground beef can be kept in the refrigerator for?

It really isn't helpful to guess my way through some quizzes to get access to a recipe.
> your best sales people can and will take their customers with them

And this has been validated by multiple court cases: the sales person owns their "rolodex" (that shows how long this has been the case).

Want to know why every company has a CRM? The CRM companies will tell you about all the integrations etc but the real reason is that they can keep their hands on all the contact info when the sales person leaves.
AWS's pricing strategy changed a few years ago. Previously, they'd drop prices aggressively with much fanfare every time they did. Nowadays, they almost never drop prices, but release new offerings they say will save money [for certain use cases]:

- Gravitron 2 is slightly cheaper than Intel instances, with a greater price/performance ratio—at least for some applications.

- m6i is same price as m5, but new generation of CPU and increased network performance.

- gp3 is 20% cheaper than gp2 and has better baseline performance. It can also scale performance independently of size, so no more overprovisioning storage to hit a certain IOPS.

- S3 has IA, Glacier, Glacier Deep Archive, all offering cheaper storage but more expensive retrieval.

Not defending AWS here, just noting that they don't seem to be interested in direct price reductions anymore.

(EDIT: Previously I stated gp3 and gp2 were the same price. Thanks zerocrates and maxxam for the correction.)
Bullshit. You're using legal terms that you don't even vaguely understand. Go talk to an actual attorney who deals with civil litigation and ask how this stuff actually works.
File extensions aren't really a thing in the UNIX world. Executables and scripts work just fine whatever extension they have, if any. The shell will call the 'file' command to figure out what it is.

Some apps do care about extensions but this is not really an OS thing. And some files have to have specific names but that's really a thing in any OS.
I think we should pay them more. I just think getting better candidates would be much more influential than the reduction in corruption.

Most corruption isn't someone dropping off a bag of money.
It's an organization donating a bunch of money so they can put somebody intelligent charming and attractive in front of the senator who is going to have a really good argument why certain provisions are good for their constituents.
> would you rather take a dip in morale of 20 people, or the rest of the company?

If a sales team taken on rev-em-up blows someone’s morale the company’s culture is broken. The reaction betrays a lack of trust in management. Suspicion they’re acting for non-company promoting reasons. Management needs to figure out why that trust gap is there and address it directly, not put forward another act where feel-good measures that compromise the company are taken because they’re easy.

Most of those methods will still work under a decentralized DNS, because although it's decentralized at the global layer, there will still be centralized clusters

What you won't be able to do is remove at the root, and instead you blacklist

My claim is that under a decentralized DNS, "removing" or "blacklisting" have the same effect on what you consume because you are always in control.

The BIG difference is that, under a decentralized DNS, no one controls anymore what OTHER people consume/trust. And I am strongly against of any group of people limiting how other groups communicate between themselves, even if these "other groups" are sharing child pornography. I'm open to some data about this, meanwhile I have a strong bias into thinking the cure is much worse than the disease
Temporarily, yes.
Thanks for the very thoughtful and well written post. I’m not exclusively a Ruby/Rails developer but currently use it daily for work. My opinion is you _may_ be slightly overestimating the “need” for this because there are a lot of resources already in getting started with Rails. However you have a specific angle with whom you want to introduce Rails to - I think if a non-technical founder is savvy/dedicated enough to create/deploy a Rails app they will likely be able to do so with the existing knowledge out there.
Not saying you should shy away from this idea, though. Maybe you could focus on a specific “barebones” process for getting an MVP online (heroku, SSR from rails and not a view library(?), maybe a payment integration?) - not totally sure.
On the global stage there is likely a larger demand for this but targeting non technical founders seems like a difficult niche to focus on.
I honestly have no idea how your target demographic would theoretically choose to allocate their time but I assume the majority of them plan to have a designated tech team/lead at some point.

It seems you are very experienced with Rails and development so is there a reason you are focusing on non-devs opposed to a specific “technical for devs” topic?

Best of luck however you choose to go.
I think "this new standard" was referring to WebDriver BiDi, not WebContainers, so you might be misreading them.

That being said, I agree that the blog post made it sound like WebContainers is some kind of standard, and I also found that to be confusing.

Atom bomb plans are actually readily available, and were publicly published over 40 years ago.

A nuclear bomb just has to bring a critical mass of material together. For Uranium 235, that's about 104 pounds. You typically do it by splitting it into 4 pieces, and stick something like dynamite to each one so that when they go off it goes together and goes boom.

A hydrogen bomb is an ellipsoid made of aluminum foil with a nuclear bomb at one focus and heavy water at the other. The flash from the nuclear bomb hits the foil, and refocuses on the water that makes for a substantially larger boom.

This is all well-known. The trick is getting a sufficient supply of enriched uranium. The principles of how to do that are described in https://fas.org/issues/nonproliferation-counterproliferation.... Note that operating with elemental fluorine is dangerous to your health, and the necessary centrifuges WILL be spotted by US satellites, who are unlikely to be sympathetic with your desire to build a nuclear arsenal.
