Yeah, if this was really meant to placate a nervous team there's no reason to mention Mudge personally at all, it'll just make anyone who respects him extremely pissed off, and everyone else even more jumpy as the professionalism gloves are clearly off for any interaction about this.
Termux was nerfed in Android 12. See https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/2366

Either way, the statement I replied to was 'Linux in every other pocket'. Since almost all Android users are running the Google Play Services, my point stands.
It is possible that I come from a different generation. I was talking on various chats since I was a teen. Physical interaction was a complement and not a mutually exclusive state. And I still keep up with buddies, who live farther than I am willing to go, because internet allows for like minds to not be limited by geography alone.

I started a new job recently and results are mixed. One person I now chat with daily including weekends; some I only interact with the day I spend in office and that is ok too.

We are not all the same. We should not have pretend we are.
A fair point. Fortunately, I have tested myself well on this front, both by losing lots of money on leveraged investments and by having multi hundred thousand medical bills and at least my position on money clearly has abundance mentality.

I think the opportunity cost thing is a meaningful thing, but I doubt it'll really hurt since I have significant amounts of money I can draw on through my network.
Best-selling organic chemistry textbook becomes open access
The roundworm in this study, C. Elegans is not invasive. It's one of the critical components of an ecosystem. You are thinking of other roundworms.
For once, this would not expose any additional attack surface other than the inevitable bugs in the C++ implementation of it that gets shipped in all the browsers.
Most people aren't paid based on performance. The only difference between GPs behavior and the average company's mentality? The company making fat profits off of anyone willing to bust their hump for a pittance is nowhere near as condemned as an employee doing the equivalent.

Make performance scale better and the problem stops. There aren't enough jobs willing to do so.

Some of us actually remember the 90s, and not this nostalgia-tinged "hey I was young and had no responsibilities so it was better." It's not like I lived in some third-world hellhole. I lived in Los Angeles. Murder rates were quadruple what they are today. Gang violence was totally out of control. Every single night there'd be some story on the news of a girl getting shot while standing in line at an ice cream truck. Always an ice cream truck. The LA Riots happened, and unlike what people in the US call a "riot" today when a window get smashed and trash cans are lit on fire, 63 people died. The LAPD was in the middle of the Rampart Scandal, planting evidence left and right and brutalizing people. My middle school got shot at in drive-bys three separate times while I was there. A black girl in my neighborhood was tied to a fence and burned alive. We weren't allowed to wear red or blue because the school district was so afraid of us getting shot. Medical care was so great that my best friend died from touching a cat when she was 12. Teachers were still getting fired for being gay. Guys like Matthew Shepard were getting tortured and beaten to death. Freedom of expression so great that 2 Live Crew was getting banned by US district courts and the Satanic Panic was still happening in a lot of places. AIDS was still scary as hell and not easily manageable with known medication. We were getting malathion dumped on us from the sky all the damn time because of Mediterranean fruit fly infestations.

But I'm sure it was a much better time on the Internet I didn't yet know existed because my family couldn't afford a computer until my senior year of high school.

Agreed. Bad email. Zero specifics. Not even an apology for letting the situation get to this point. Just empty promises and mud slinging. (Also, formatting? Also, an email? You know what your product is, right? Did you think this wouldn’t get leaked?)
The thing is you’re asking everyone else in the office to come in and experience all the negative externalities (commute, health, family) just so you can have an easy way to get out and about after work. That doesn’t seem fair to me.
A bit amusing to see the article and think "they really could have summed it up as "show, don't tell", aka the old sage writer's advice. :)

Some very good points made in the article, glad I read. I admit the personal instagram would be a huge turnoff for me since it shows ("shows") that there's not an expectation for work sphere and personal life sphere to be airgapped. Then again maybe that's the kind of person they're trying to filter out.
When Is It Smarter to Choose AWS over Google Cloud Platform
Reminds of the french article by Laisant published in 1888 about the factorial number system (factoradic) and its application to permutations. http://www.numdam.org/item/?id=BSMF_1888__16__176_0

I also found an article by James McCaffrey named "Using Permutations in .NET for Improved Systems Security" but I can't find it again.

I used them a few years ago to enumarate all possible permutations to find the best solution to a small sample of TSP and compare it to the approximate solution found by an algorithm.

EDIT: looks like my source was just https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_number_system

"Once, Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering about, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know that he was Zhuang Zhou.
Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuang Zhou. But he didn't know if he was Zhuang Zhou who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhuang Zhou. Between Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things"
Yeah it could absolutely be something that happens elsewhere outside Appple land. I tell that story more as a sort of indirect mention of some of the internet drama over "throttling" / general user experence rather than a story about what MacOS does. I really don't know what was responsible for everything still running smooth when that incident happened. For all I know Docker on Apple Silicon might be doing something there too to keep things from getting entirely out of hand.
If the HR records say that, and it’s not true, that doesn’t get twitter off the hook. It might make it harder to sue the CEO directly though, depending on who was involved in writing the HR record.
OTP is a resource hog (for good reason, it solves a harder problem than valhalla). Covering a US state is very much pushing it for OTP, and covering the planet wouldn't work at all on any hardware.

I didn't use OTP's frontend because I found it unpleasant to use. Valhalla's frontend wouldn't work well with OTP and I don't find it terribly pleasant to use either.

Neither work on mobile, and neither work with vector maps, it seems? I haven't tried out GraphHopper's UI though.
> When was the last time you saw a major consumer application (the TikTok or Instagram client, or your web browser, or VSCode) crash hard and fail on you?

Yesterday. The kindle app. It has a habit of soft locking on a book's cover. TikTok's failure mode tends to be more of a "refuses to play a video" kind. Especially if you're scrolling through videos and one does not exist. It doesn't like that. Instagram soft reboots pretty often (you can tell because you're back to the home feed, as opposed to where you left off), especially after being suspended.

I have to reboot my Mac weekly, both for updates and to keep it from misbehaving oddly.

It's one thing our development culture actually fosters these days - let it fail and restart in a known state; as opposed to doing what you can to keep the software alive through non-fatal errors.
The mechanism of becoming open access via a legal loophole was quite interesting. From the article:

“The author of a popular organic chemistry textbook is making it freely available to students after learning about a loophole in his copyright agreement with the publisher.

“John McMurry’s Organic Chemistry has been one of the best selling chemistry textbooks since it was first printed in 1984. Under his agreement with Cengage Learning, the book’s publisher, McMurry realised he could ask for the book’s copyright to be returned to him 30 years after it was first printed. Without copyright of the first edition, the publisher is unable to produce any more new editions, McMurry notes.

“McMurry, an emeritus professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Cornell University, US, says the move was a tribute to his son who passed away from cystic fibrosis three years ago.”

I go out several times a week now and have a friend group outside of work too. That's a different experience than what the GP is talking about.

My friends don't share my work context, nor do I want to have them hear about it endlessly. Getting a drink with friendly coworkers is a good way to have a conversation with that shared context.
Prolog is a better RM language than SQL. (Codd had a language called Alpha but that's about all I know about it.) It's not a credible replacement for all use cases, but it's pretty capable.
$45k in the Philippines is not even close to $1M in the US. There's a fallacy to consider that CoL increases linearly. At best it's a fixed offset of $XXk. A few thousands more in rent, a few hundreds more in food, and that's basically it. Real estate is crazy in most capital of the world. Consumer products have a fixed price worldwide, and it's often cheaper in the US, imagine that!

Also third world country savings pretty much limit your retirement options to third world countries. You aren't going to retire in the South of France on a third world salary.
Ah you decided to be smart and sarcastic, and inadvertently showed just how limited the tech in these "autonomous" cars is.

And that you can't just handwave these problems away.
You say that as a joke, but it would say a lot about contemporary American culture.

Just think about the gender roles on display, a women attacks her husband and gloats that society will side with her. Not to mention the meta-layer, the celebrity worship that would compel someone to preserve this particular document of all things.
> we need ARM based servers which has perf per watt competing with M1/M2

We have them? Graviton instances are priced pretty competitively compared to similar x86 EC2 instances. A lot of people don't use Graviton though (myself included) for a number of reasons. A lot of software hasn't been ported over to aarch64 yet, and even when it is it can lack the optimization that x86 enjoys (especially with programs leveraging AVX et. al). Furthermore, the CPUs that Amazon use seem to be bottlenecked by low IO bandwidth, which makes for some janky benchmarks when comparing simple database operations.

I think we'll eventually see a return to RISC architectures, but ARM's value proposition hasn't made a lot of sense on the server. It's still encumbered with proprietary licenses that make it extremely hard for CPU manufacturers to compete in the server market. It still hasn't figured out all of it's hardware-acceleration quirks, and you don't get any Rosetta 2 fairy dust on Linux (not that you'd want to use it in prod anyways). All in all, x86 is still the set-and-forget king, and probably more stable than ARM alternatives. I'm hopeful that RISC-V will finally put x86 in it's grave, but that's going to be a couple years out...
I hear you. In this case why even have an HQ in California? Why not become fully remote and hire from a range of compatible timezones?

I'm just saying that such a fully remote company could hire "average talent" 2-3 times cheaper than its counterpart headquartered in an expensive area. That's clearly a competitive advantage.

I'm just saying that being remote also gives an edge for hiring average talent, not only top talent.
Exactly. Some steady sounds mask the intermittent sounds that are otherwise more interruptive.
> Owning Roomba would give the world’s most dominant spy-tech maker yet another portal into our homes and lives. It could map where we live, what we own, and what it should be selling to its hundreds of millions of captured customers.

Is it really the case that Roombas upload their scans to the manufacturer's servers? Edge-ML chips will continue to improve and they'll make it more difficult for manufacturers to justify sending data back home.
i wanted to paint my garden shed red, but my elderly asian neighbour said that it would hurt her eyes. so i painted it purple and yellow. i would die without colour in my life. it is the one thing i miss most from back when i was younger. it is slightly better in california but it was positively depressing when i was living in new england. i think they have colour in their lives only once a year..during fall.

the best colours come from nature. flowers, sunsets, birds are disappearing from our lives too. where are our green spaces in cities? why is our food drab and brown? i work with a tomato breeder and the one thing i learnt is that we still eat with our eyes. people pay more for colourful food. being attracted to colour is hardwired in most species. it is a mating and survival cue for most species. if we dont know how to recognise colour and categorise them, we couldnt have evolved to where we are now in our timeline. the wrong mushroom or berry would have killed the entire tribe drying up their gene pool.

that we are ok with a lack of colour in our lives indicates that our flight/fight instincts are lax...our lives are safer, predictable, comfortable and less fraught with danger. my nervous system is primed for flight/fight. i feel ill at ease when there is no colour around me and i still perceive that as something to navigate with caution. i am always recording colours or details around me...a little recording whirring machine at the back of my mind is noting down everything in my environment to make me feel safer. it's silence and lack of colour that throws me off.

eta: re: the original article... i think sensors and cameras and spectrascopes and all the other wonderful things tech has given us dont need colours. we can measure light and heat in other innumerable ways to harvest required data. a robot's eyes do not need to see like we do...as we automate most functions, colour can become unnecessary. practical example: we used to evaluate ripeness of produce with colour ...now we use a brix refractometer. why try to figure if tomatoes are picked ripe when you can save money and time by picking them unripe and ripen with ethylene gas...easily monitored for over ripening with floor ethylene detectors in large warehouses filled with crates of produce from floor to ceiling. we dont need colour because technology knows how to utilise all the data in the entire spectrum. colour is just a sliver of it.
> hardly anyone does more than disc their fields once a decade.

I guess nearly every single of the "hardly anyone" are near me. Pretty much every field seems to be tilled every year or every other year.
Even if you lived in the same city, you'd have to waste time commuting from respective neighborhoods to some halfway point, which could easily be 30 min off your lunch hour.
> because a pedo instance could federate illegal content to my homeserver and get me arrested and charged for possession of content I did not request and do not want to store on my computers, and if I'm not monitoring what content is getting federated to my timeline, I might not even know it's there. Too risky.

I also work in the activitypub space and my solution to avoiding unlawful content is to make the "federating" relationship between two servers a mutual one. One asks to follow, the other replies favourably (or not). This puts a damper on the "wild west" of everyone federating with everyone, but ensures content is curated at a basic level by a SysOP so there are no surprises.

I understand that some people don't see the value in face-to-face interaction with coworkers -- and I say this as someone who has worked in most scenarios (long-term remote, long-term full-time office, and partial remote). It obviously has more value for some than it does others. I actually prefer full-time remote, but I understand why some people don't like it.

For some people, face-to-face makes it easier for them to get to know co-workers and develop a solid working relationship with them. Also, those face-to-face interactions often result in benefits for the company, as you often do still end up talking about things related to work, and valuable ideas can be exchanged that would not otherwise have been. Even if you don't talk about work things, knowing your co-workers well can be a benefit to the company. Obviously there are cases where you don't want to know an abrasive person well, so it varies.

Your post sounds like you are saying in-office work is obsolete due to it being an "old-fashioned idea" (unless I am reading you wrong). If that is the case, I would caution against the possibility thinking newer is always better, because it clearly isn't always. Again, as I said, I prefer remote work, but I also understand why others don't. The same work model is not best for everyone in the world.
>I don't get this. If you have a coworker that enjoy having lunch with you... what's stopping you both doing so? I mean, even if you both work from home, you could still schedule a lunch together in the city, right?

I don't like the office and work 100% remote but I remember collaboration scenarios that were easier and more natural in the office. Example...

- coworker and I discuss something at the cubicle or meeting room. Maybe use the whiteboard. It's now about noon so we agree to grab lunch at the cafeteria.

- continue discussion while walking toward the cafeteria

- continue at lunch table and/or walk back to desks

No coordination or invites on Zoom. Continued discussion in-real-life just flows while we're multitasking (i.e. getting some food) -- because we're both physically present.

So two remote workers getting in the car to meet for lunch isn't the same.

But at the moment, I'm not working on anything that requires that intense level of in-person collaboration described above -- so I'd rather remain working 100% at home.
Oracle is people. Both in some abstract legal sense and in a literal sense: its a group of people doing things.

As such they are accountable for their actions - what sort of utter stupidity is this "oh but since the word corporation is involved we don't need to hold people accountable" bullshit you are spewing?
Examples? And what about replacing all the good things the EU provided with homegrown initiatives?

:( You have my sympathy.
I also only have public information, but the sense I've gotten was that Twitter had an embarrassing problem, with high-profile accounts being compromised, and Jack personally hired Mudge to fix it, with Mudge reporting directly to Jack. This set up Mudge to essentially be the parental supervision for Parag, which chafed / pissed Parag off. Then, when Parag became CEO, Mudge was out, having not accomplished much because Parag was actively hostile to the interference.

Again, conjecture based on what I could extract from the froth, but mundane enough for me that alternatives (shocking displays of X) start requiring extraordinary evidence.

Working your way through life requires heuristics and stereotypes based on our personal experience.

If you have to think about which muscle to move and when while walking you'll fall down.

To riff off the Oscar Wilde quote, half a decade of no growth may be regarded as misfortune, one and a half decades looks like carelessness.
If you're concerned about your privacy I'd advise against just trying to disable uploading but still giving your photos to apps you don't trust, primarily because of possible future implementation of client-side scanning(they are making steps to mandate that for messengers in the EU atm, for example).

AFAIK android phones upload all sorts of data to google by default, my recommendation is to install a custom ROM (like lineageOS), that will rid you of a lot of these privacy violators without dealing with them individually. If you don't want to do that, avoid google services/apps entirely for anything that you don't trust them with. I'm not familiar with google photos(never used it for (now) obvious reasons), and I don't know what features you need, so I can't really give recommendations on that specifically.
Whenever I read something about leaving messages for future peoples, my mind drifts back to this Mistborn quote, "I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted."
