If a child can't use a dangerous toy responsibly, you take away the toy first. Maybe, when the child is more mature, it can have its toy back. You don't let the child keep the toy and wait for it to mature on its own, all the while allowing it to keep harming others and itself.
Hi Cliff - A write unit does not correspond to a single INSERT. A single INSERT with less than 16MB of data generates ~0.01 “write unit”, so a single “write unit” typically corresponds to ~100 INSERTs. In your example, that would come closer to $11 a day. Depending on how small of batches you plan to write in that examples, there may be ways to reduce that spend further, by batching even more or turning on "async_insert" inside ClickHouse.
Gawker didn't get it quite right. Here's what the New Yorker article [1] actually says:

> When I asked Zuckerberg about the IMs that have already been published online, and that I have also obtained and confirmed, he said that he “absolutely” regretted them.

It doesn't say that Zuckerberg confirmed the particular quotation that you offered.

That said, I take your point. The New Yorker author said that he had confirmed the message containing the quote, and Zuckerberg didn't deny sending the message, and he expressed regret about it.

> Most of us have to pay taxes on property we own every year, pay for many of the public services (water, sewer, trash, etc.), and the benefits returned from taxes (like roads and police) are generally not worth the amount paid in a strict sense.

If you don't think the benefits aren't worth it, why do you keep owning the property? Choosing to continue to own the property implies a revealed preference that the benefits outweigh the costs.

The biggest benefit from owning property is the right to exclusive use of a certain location for infinite time [0]. And the value of this right is proportional to how desirable living there is, which is made up of factors like economic liveness, proximity to nature, government services etc. The thing to note here is that while not all of these are due to government subsidy, all of these are the result of "other people's work"; you can just sit there and if other people do good work, the gains go to you.

Also, as a sidenote, most local services are not funded exclusively by property taxes: there's usually funding from things like sales and income taxes (either from that area, or transferred from higher levels of govt).

[0] - Minus property tax of course, but property tax is rarely equal to the benefit you get; if it was, the purchase price of the property would be 0.
RDP works fine for Windows honestly, but in Linux the only decent solution is nomachine and sometimes not even that.

Anyway, in my company they decided to hand us out a company laptop and connect through VPN to the corporate network, with shared drives, and it's the best solution IMO.

Another funny tidbit:

> On March 24, 2017, a few months after his initial copying of Splunk’s source code,
Mr. Sharp resigned from Splunk to co-found Cribl with Dritan Bitincka and Ledion Bitincka— both former software architects at Splunk.

Except that they didn't because initially the had created a company called diag.io that was focused on troubleshooting fault configurations.
Yep. FB has issues, but people are dancing on its grave a little too early.
You should really try xorgxrdp. It is now part of most modern distros, has good audio support, and excellent video quality (I can watch YouTube on a Pi running Remmina, using nothing but stock OS packages on both client and server).

One catch is that some distros (like Fedora), for some reason use the Xvnc backend to xrdp by default, which is idiotic. Just go into xrdp.ini and enable the Xorg section (get rid of the Xvnc one) to get things to work properly.

I personally cannot abide NoMachine (it was a spectacular fiddly failure for me many times, especially on Mac and Windows clients) and never found ThinLinc to beat the simplicity of RDP, especially considering the client software (I have very configurable RDP clients like Jump Desktop for iOS and Android that work perfectly with Bluetooth mice and keyboards, so I seldom pack a laptop these days).
1929 refuted the notion that “what goes down will come back up.” Society in the US pushed hard for decades to investigate and protect against similar market conditions through banking regulations and oversight. Galbraiths work is worth reviewing on this. (The sad truth is much of those safeguards were dismantled by the 50s.)

Definitely history worth studying.
Even including the retail employees, Apple's footprint is barely double the size of Facebook.

I agree that it's really bizarre how wasteful FB's operations seem to be compared to Apple's.

Amendment: the Esquire and SAI sourcing is poor, but the New Yorker is more credible on this point, partly because it interviewed Zuckerberg. See https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jbullock35#33099479.
> Modern IDEs tend to support SSHing out to remote hosts to perform builds there, so as long as you're ok with source code being visible on laptops you can at least shift the "I need a workstation with a bunch of CPU" problem out to the cloud.

I'd mention SSH port forwarding in this section. For webdev you'll want to run your server on the remote host and use the local web browser. SSH port forwarding works great for this. I recently used this setup to get some extra RAM for a short project that could only be run as a collection of memory hungry microservices. This way I could get the whole thing running on one box; I spun down the server once the project was done.
It reminds me of Nikola Tesla, "Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my shop."

> but it doesn't prevent intentional exfiltration

It can prevent accidental exfiltration, or deliberate exfiltration by a relative incompetent, which are the majority of such problems.

You are right in that they will not stop deliberate actions by a competent disgruntled or a competent external attacker who has access (but you have a much wider set of problems in this latter case).

Maybe I'm old-fashioned (I am definitely a “working in an office, living at home” person which seems to mark me out as a dinosaur in the coming remote-work age!) but I don't think it is my employer's responsibility to provide me with unfettered unfiltered internet access to do personal stuff with. Work stuff on employer provided Internet which they can monitor all they like, personal stuff on my own devices & connections which they can keep the hell out of.
Hiring professionals for gutter cleaning in North York is highly demanded. Gutters are the minor parts of a house that collect rainwater and drain it. They are essential for your home because they contain water and prevent it from leaking. This blog will explain why you need to clean your gutters and how to do it properly to get rid of those pesky molds, mildew, rust, moss, or other things that may grow on them.
They hire the best people and then have them do effectively "menial" work - metrics reporting, etc. whilst strategy is decided by executives alone.

This makes them disillusioned.

I'm not sure what the solution is in big companies really, but it's a real problem when standard engineers can't get their ideas or features, etc. considered, or easily prototype stuff, etc.
In effect this is the end of covid season layoff. Peloton wasn't the only company who made investment mistakes during covid, just very visible. Many big companies greatly over hired during the same period. Now they need to correct course.
That's the thing, it shouldn't be a business practice at all. Browsers are part of the Internet infrastructure and that should not be treated like any other business but be regulated enough to ensure anyone gets fair use of the infrastucture and should rely primarily on public funding.

The Internet being global makes this challenging, and almost all countries (including so-called democracies) wanting to drink as much authoritarian juice as they can get away with does mean that there is plenty of risk here as well. But letting one or a few giant megacorporations entirely dicate the primary intrastructure for information interchange is so much worse.

IMHO remote desktops (cloud or DaaS) is a terrible idea with even more terrible executions.

It's even more direct. The diversifications are Google Ads, in a very real way. Google financial reporting splits Google ads revenue in an important way that hopefully allows people to see this. Total revenue of Google AdSense, on the non-Google internet, is about 7 billion. Nice, but Youtube ads is ~10% less than that ... and Google's own properties get 5 times more than that in ad income. Ads income from non-Google properties is called "Google network", ads income from Google properties is called "Google Search & other" in the financial reporting.

That's not even counting money someone actually paid to those diversifications, no ads involved. That's another 10-15% of the total ad revenue.

Google's internal websites, taken together, are just shy of 85% of their total ad revenue, and 90% of their total revenue. Google does not make that much money from people browsing the internet, it makes money from people browsing Google. Although not split out, it is widely assumed Google search is a whale here. But how much exactly? Not clear. People keep saying it's going down for a decade now. And of course, a business 1/10th as good as Google search is still a great business.

Yes, Google Ads receives the dollars, but it's the "diversifications" that "only cost money" that brings them in. Numbers like this make one thing clear, 7/8th of AdSense is a way to optimise ad income on Google's own websites, and only 1/8th of AdSense is an actual Ad Network. Google is not the biggest Ad Network, despite their reputation, by a very wide margin. Google is the biggest "TV Network".

So saving money on diversifications as a whole ... I'm going to say this is not what I'd like Alphabet to do. Now saving money on specific efforts, sure. But, frankly, the way to grow Google, even their ad business itself, it to spend more money on the diversifications.
I don't think internal company culture is the problem. The problem is that a lot of these companies' consumer products are based on the "attention economy", and the market has finally adjusted to see these things for what they are (essentially a system to put more ads in front of eyeballs) and thus considers them "underwhelming".

The "A"s in FAANG which aren't based on the attention economy (Amazon, and Apple until very recently) don't (yet?) have this problem.

> Perhaps an x-ray service so you can see inside parcels - would be handy for businesses that do returns who need to check the real goods are headed their way.

Funny story: In a previous job I led a team developing the UK Post Office's self-service kiosks. Because of that work, another national post office in Asia contacted my company to investigate a similar kiosk. One of their requests -- I swear this is real -- was a "snake detector." Apparently, mailing snakes out of the country to be sold as pets is a real problem. We never quite sorted out the best way to accomplish that.
Isn't this illegal?

I worked over RDP for a couple of years. It's not terrible but it's not too good either. You pretty much have to have a wired Internet connection and there are still problems with Alt+Tab and high DPI displays.

That's a reasonable compromise from your org. Good on them. I was suffering with corporate OneDrive. Fortunately everything I do ends up in git anyway so I just turned it off and don't use it.
It might be worth looking at Russia’s unusual nuclear doctrine of “escalate to deescalate.”

I agree numerous tactical nuclear weapons would be required for combat operations, but not necessarily for information operations designed to shape western democratic citizenry.

People like us in the west can more easily afford to have opinions on Ukraine.

People in China, and particularly India can’t afford to have as many opinions when they are struggling to afford food and energy,

COVID related fiscal and monetary inflation is eating a chunk of the real gains made in recent decades.

A bit hyperbolic I know, but India has continued and will continue to purchase energy from Russia as will China even if a small number of nuclear weapons are used within Russian territory, within Russian controlled territory, or within Ukraine.

Food and energy price inflation pressures matter more to many countries than whatever is happening in Ukraine, 3rd world problems rather than 1st world privilege.

Facebook was PHP (and then built its own). Google now has Golang (even if they probably still mostly use C++).

Most Telcos, what’s app used Erlang.

Apple used Objective C, and built its own language.

Microsoft used C++… and built a series of languages.

Most of the web programming was in flash… until suddenly JavaScript won out.

Except for Figma which uses WASM based stuff.

Also,

> We will include non-free firmware packages from the "non-free-firmware" section of the Debian archive on our official media (installer images and live images). The included firmware binaries will normally be enabled by default where the system determines that they are required, but where possible we will include ways for users to disable this at boot (boot menu option, kernel command line etc.).

"Debian Votes to Include Proprietary Firmware" in the headline is misleading. The Debian distribution already contained this firmware (in an isolated repository).

This vote seems to be about making it available by default on official media, making installation easier. This supersedes the previous approach, which as of this comment is still described here: https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware

Look at the ratio instead: 4k open vs 162k closed. Or 4k open vs 80k+ packages.

If we split things up, there will be less open PRs per project of course. But I doubt the ratio will be much better. It will actually increase the number of PRs as large scale refactors will be multiplied by the number of repositories.

I know this sounds gross, but I wonder if Chromebooks could benefit from being able to trigger local browser actions in the remote browser. So you can click "open in new tab" in your remote and it opens in your local browser. Bonus points if the remote session is also in a tab, so it just switches you away and you can come back easily.

Automatic rewriting of Java code based on rules looks quite interesting and promising.
It’s a miserable experience from top to bottom. Onboarding a new developer takes much longer and is far more tedious than one might expect. There are multiple layers of security employees must navigate. And when something breaks, anywhere, it’s a huge pain to sort out the source of the problem, find the right person responsible, and get something fixed.

If you find yourself in an organization that thinks this remote desktop environment is a great idea, do yourself a favor, if you can, and leave. You’ll give other devs more incentive to push back and make this a thing of the past, like “thin clients”.
But then you have to deal with conflicts in a sensible way that won't lose users files and make it simple enough for people to choose which files to synchronise.
Similar, but also with Google's help: on the second date with my current girlfriend, we took a selfie. Google Photos then identified her face from a picture I had snapped five years previously... it turned out we had already met at a wedding, had a somewhat tipsy and flirtatious conversation, but since we then lived a long distance apart, and I was still disentangling myself from a previous relationship, I didn't make an attempt to follow up at the time, just left with a vague memory of "cute girl in city X, it would have been nice to get to know her under different circumstances." Now I live in city X and the circumstances are so much better :)
If you look at puffoflogic's comment history you can see they are maliciously claiming incorrect things about zig over and over. Here I am refuting them again.

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1291

This is an open issue from 2018 that I opened that specifically acknowledges this as a valuable use case that should work.

Don't let puffoflogic put words in my mouth. They are a troll account.
Sure but then it's like... for example, if you land rockets and your advertisement says "People told me it couldn't be done!", then fair enough. But if you, say, build an electric car and your advertisement says "People told me it couldn't be done!", then ... who exactly have you been talking to?

The phrase "They said it couldn't be done!" is an evocative proxy for technological novelty. If the experts are not representative, the claim of novelty will be misleading.
Yes I've written several apps with it.

It does have child views (to do item). You can't get a circular chain any more than with react. ListenTo is written manually only for special cases there, otherwise a controller is simply bound to a model and it's all handled for you.
Gemini is on the other extreme (except for requiring the crypto complexity that comes with TLS). I would prefer something that still lets people express themselves creatively like the early web did. Personally, I think even newer CSS is fine even if more complex than it could be if re-designed - the problem is mostly JS and million different APIs that come with that as well as the expectation that that the browser will be able to execute that JS insanely fast.
