> Docker and K8S are sharp knives with no warnings on them.

And that's nothing wrong with that. You might also "hurt" yourself by installing software by hand.

Let's agree to disagree, this "it could be dangerous!" argument feels like doubling down on a weak position, but I honestly do not care about fighting someone over the internet about it. Your computer, your rules :-)
Thank you! :) You are absolutely right on pre-commit hooks. My experience with FOSS projects is that it's quite hard to get contributors to follow your style guides and/or opt-in to pre-commit hooks. In this case it's much easier to have things auto-fixed than telling people to please install your specific pre-commit framework. It's different if you have a well-defined team with onboarding procedures.

FWIW, you can keep using pre-commit hooks and then have autofix.ci enforce them: https://autofix.ci/setup#pre-commit. For git purists, there's always the option to squash when merging. :)
People (including yourself, even if you don't realize it) argue for limits on speech in order to protect freedom and liberty. That's not an essentially authoritarian position. It's consistent with liberalism. For example, you probably support making incitement to violence illegal. That is an "authoritarian" position that you agree with. You are using the government to force someone to stop saying something that they wish to say. And yet you support it. Because you implicitly realize that there's no pure world where speech can't infringe on other's freedoms. In the real world you have tension between the rights and freedoms of two people. There's no substitute to fairly arbitrary line drawing that balances this tension. People simply disagree on where the line should be drawn in order to maximize overall freedom.
In my experience (both professionally and personally) the exact nature of the app matters more than anything else. I can use most VR apps/games no problem, but there are a couple where I have to bail after 2 minutes.
Just wait, Google will abandon flutter and everyone who built their apps on top of it will be hosed.
You're free to put your code under something like CC0 if you feel this way. Everyone else who puts their code under a license that requires at least attribution and expects Microsoft to follow it can continue taking Microsoft to task for ignoring that responsibility at scale.

> BMW and Toyota have hydrogen cars.

How many have shipped? How many gas stations are pumping hydrogen?

> most people can't charge them

And yet there are millions of them on the road, with numbers always increasing.

The strength of EVs, and why they will win over hydrogen is that they can be adopted regardless of what the majority are doing, incremental instead of big bang. There is a sizable market of people who can charge EVs. This number is only going to grow as more and more apartments/carpark are being fitted with chargers (which people have already said are not a necessity). It's not a small task, but it can be done gradually, unlike hydrogen. Unless you get some massive coordinated effort between multiple car companies and gas stations to roll out hydrogen refil stations across an entire country in preparation for hoped for sales, people just won't buy them. EV naysayers love to talk about range anxiety for EVs. Imagine the range anxiety if you had a hydrogen vehicle today.
Oh now it works! But it wasn't intuitive for me that I needed to do that

Uranus makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Uranian time) in about 84 Earth years (30,687 Earth days).

Exactly. Also we need to do the same for Google, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft too.

China will invade Taiwan when the cost to do so is low enough and/or they are desperate. In other words, the probability of success is considerably higher today than it will be in the future (even if the probability of success today isn't great).

Russia is a declining state relative to Ukraine & Europe, so Putin's odds of success in 2022 were considerably higher than they would be 10 years later. So if invading Ukraine was necessary at some point, 2022 was the best time to do it.

China's regime believes that invading Taiwan is necessary, but OTOH the Chinese military is getting stronger very quickly and they believe they'll be in a much better position to invade in a decade then they are now. So there is no way they're going to invade any time soon.

Avoiding a war completely is highly unlikely given Xi & China's policies. But delaying a war is highly likely. And a war indefinitely delayed is a war avoided.

The fancier Yubikeys have multiple functions - not just the basic U2F.

One function is 'PIV' - acting as a 'smart card'. When you create or load a key, you can choose whether you want to require a button press or not [1]. They strongly recommend requiring a button press.

No physical button press = an attacker with root can sign things at will.

Now let's play a game before reading the article, do we think these cameras are going to be installed in Knightsbridge where Russian, Middle Eastern and Indian billionaires' children hang around revving the bollocks off their Ferraris, or are these going to be installed on the outskirts of Grimsby trying to find a way of locking up that kid who's revving a 2003 Skoda Fabia?

Drum roll please... Ah yes, it's Bradford.

Yeah, that's right, they're spending thousands of pounds on noise cameras to address the real issue challenging Bradford- noise pollution. Good thing they didn't get distracted by any trivial issues like 30% of the children in Bradford living in poverty. I'm really glad they're tackling these noisy vehicles, because as we know, they've already solved all the other crime in Bradford. Let me go look that up a second. Ah yes, Bradford, ranked number 1 in the country for violent crime[1]. Hang on a second... that means it's got the most violent crime, not the least. Weird. Guess we need to spend some more time cracking down on those loud exhausts.

I wrote a scifi book in which I wrote 'heaven' as being an alien construct. Somewhere in the universe a tremendously technologically advanced civilization constructed a device which simulates 'heaven' for all people in the universe. Through 'enlightenment' the discoverer is able to bring knowledge of 'heaven' back to their people but in our history how could a figure like Buddha or Jesus post-enlightenment explain aliens and advanced technology. So you end up producing a story at a level of your current day scientific understanding.

Fundamentally your message to humanity post-enlightenment would be the rules on how to get to heaven. Which many world-religions classes go into depth. There are fundamental rules that benefit everyone to follow that wouldn't really be inherently human to follow.

>We'd probably share Occam's razor. There doesn't seem anything specifically human about any of these ideas.

Aliens will also have developed the piano and chess. They are inherent things to discover eventually.

Fundmantally a great way to analyze what the rules are would be impossible to list. Just look at the list of crimes in countries which are so large lawyers dont even know them all. So you need a system that's much more simply. Isn't that system 'karma'.
Jira's slowness became worse and worse in the past ~5 years. I used to remember the Jira hate and not understanding it because it indeed got a bad rap because people blamed Jira for a shitty PM process - with a proper process, Jira itself wasn't bad and I enjoyed using it.

However the last few times I've used it, it wasn't the PM process that sucked - in fact I loved my PMs because I got to offload most of the Jira upkeep to them and never touch the tool myself. However every time I have to use the pile of shit myself I end up mumbling quite colorful language.

Or a junior dev will see "Error 422: thing_id is required" and instead of updating the request they sent to include thing_id they'll report it as if it's a 500 Internal Server Error until you pick up the ticket and read the error message to them.

Of course, they didn't actually put the error message in the ticket, they'll write "backend crashed" and put a screenshot of the front-end crashing because they didn't do any error handling at all.

Totally agree. The fact is that this product assists developers (both experienced and non-experienced) with increasing productivity and aiding in generation of new code, products and services. This product is fantastic in my view. Attempts at baiting the service to output potentially copyright violating code (which is synthesised because it is copied thousands and thousands of times in public repositories) only shows how desperate those claims are.

That is a work of stunning arrogance and foolishness.

Math is a game we play in our heads that represents a fictionalized ideal version of reality.

An alien intelligence might have realized that two plus two never equals four not because the underlying logic is wrong, but because two does not exist in reality.

The idea that the little game of math we play represents an immutable and universal truth is typical of the overwhelming anthropocentrism of our kind.

I feel like the number 1 factor is the app locomotion method, and people relating their experience without specifying what method they were experiencing is pretty useless.

The commonly called "smooth locomotion" method, aka moving in VR with a joystick like we do in 2d games is the worst to get used to. Natural locomotion (walking in reality to walk in VR) or teleportation does not get people so sick so fast.

Perhaps it’s not that they are boring, but fearful. I can’t recall a single time I mentioned these words in a conversation that weren’t abruptly interrupted with “there is no absolute truth!”. If the rebranding helps us calm down and think about it without fear, it might be worth it.
The concept is shallowly similar, not nearly the same.

Human learning, at the very least, consists of maintaining internal model of the world around us and integrates all data into a coherent structure. Current neural networks are extremely limited in their capabilities - each model operates on a strict class of data, and is not able to comprehend the world outside of that class of data, and as such cannot be compared to human understanding. CoPilot does not understand how the computer works - it only understands that connections between pieces of text exist.

If you're as informed on how ANNs work as you claim to be, then perhaps you should inform yourself more on how human mind works.
> And that's nothing wrong with that.

Yes, except poor documentation and lots of open secrets.

There is no need to fight. We're just discussing. We can do things differently and obtain the same brilliant or disastrous results regardless of the underlying abstraction layer/platform.

All approaches have advantages and disadvantages, so all takes are equally weak IMHO.

> If the technology is there then the PR won't matter.

Oh my sweet summer child, no. The technology is the table stakes. PR/marketing/branding to win the hearts and minds of the public to drive development to maintain the engagement of the public is key. See Blackberry.

Trying to win the hearts and the minds of the public with Zuck at the helm is an uphill battle to say the least. Have they put out any new product that the public has been excited about since they got to know what a psychopath Zuck is? No. They’ve simply bought Instagram (one of the best acquisitions in history) and WhatsApp (not sure this is driving much $$).

Time for investors to recognize that Zuck was a one hit wonder (albeit, quite the hit) but that he lacks any vision for a future that humanity actually wants to participate in.
I guess I disagree that math and physics are universal truths.

For maths, I would say 1+1=2 is a pretty universal truth (although it takes a while to get there in the principa mathematica), but didn't we just invent complex numbers because they are useful?

Same goes for physics, the speed of light is the same everywhere, but how quantum mechanics work is still subject to many discussions.

Love to hear some thoughts on this, as claiming a whole field as universal truth is something I'm a little uncomfortable with.
You missed 5 other things on that line alone.
Part 2 is a very dumb take.

The objetive of fido2 is to avoid phishing in the scenario of a third party actor trying to authenticate from a terminal that isn't the origin of the token emission, since it has origin binding.

So obviously if the third party actor is acting from a compromised terminal with access to the fido2 key, they can be the origin of the request.

>For example, I think we'd share the principle that a controlled experiment testing some hypothesis entitles us to have proportionally increased belief in it.

This isn't even a shared principle among humans. How many experiments does it take for you to have 50% belief in a hypothesis?. What is the number of experiments? It's literally impossible to answer. It's not even clear what "belief" is or what 50% means.

This ambiguity of the word isn't even the main problem. If I run the same experiment with perfect observational tools 10 billion times and it verifies my hypothesis. Does that raise my belief further? What if on the 10 billionth and first time the test shows a negative result? That literally invalidates the hypothesis. Keep in mind we are assuming my observational tools are perfect. Does this make my belief shoot down to zero?

If this possibility of a negative result remains true after any number of tests then what does it say about belief? Why should I believe anything if a single negative experiment can invalidate 10 billion positive experiments (assuming perfect observational tools of course)?

Let me bring a more concrete example. I hypothesize all zebras have stripes. I observe zebras 10 billion times. They all confirm my hypothesis. Then on the 10 billionth and first time I see a zebra with spots. My hypothesis is wrong. This can happen any time.

Anyway to bring it back to his point. Don't assume shared axiomatic truths. PG already assumed that it's shared among humans. He's wrong. The nature of science and the scientific method is not universally shared or even fully understood among humans. He's likely also wrong about aliens as he is about humans.

Jetbrains redesign: Main changes and known issues
I have been using both FreeBSD and Linux for many decades.

Until around 2003 to 2005, FreeBSD had much better performance and reliability than Linux.

That changed after Intel introduced Pentium 4 with multiple threads in 2003 and AMD introduced CPUs with multiple cores in 2005. Before that, multiple hardware threads were available only in very expensive computers, which were inaccessible for most people.

Linux was adapted very quickly to work on multi-core or multi-thread CPUs, while FreeBSD required many years for that transition.

At that time, Linux got a great advance in performance over FreeBSD, which was difficult to recover later.

Nowadays, FreeBSD has device driver support for a much less number of devices than Linux, so you must be more careful when choosing hardware for it.

Nevertheless, even if I use Linux in laptops, desktops and computational servers, I have continued to use FreeBSD in networking servers until today.

The main reason is that the administration of a FreeBSD server requires much less time than the administration of a Linux server (which requires much less time than the administration of a Windows server).

With FreeBSD, I may not do anything manually for years, if I have configured it to make certain automatic updates.

With Linux, at least with the distributions that I like for other reasons, I have to always supervise the updates, because the updates frequently break things. (I assume that this might not happen with something like Debian stable, but whenever I have looked to a Linux distribution like that, it was too antiquated for my needs.)

One of the main culprits is always Python, because there are a huge number of packages that insist that they are compatible only with a certain Python version, and they conflict between themselves even when I have all the possible Python versions installed. I could understand that passing from Python 2 to 3 has broken things, but why some packages like Python 3.9 and dislike 3.10 is beyond me. Also the compatibility with various Qt versions frequently causes update problems.

On FreeBSD all the system is more consistent, so I need to spend no more than a couple of hours for a server after several years of 24/7 functioning, when I make some hardware update and when I might replace the major FreeBSD version at the same time.

Yes, that’s a good point. But it seems to me like that’s a matter of degree, right? Like, even stipulating that the chips themselves are not fungible across products and companies, they are fungible across time for the same or similar products. The price of your 2023 fridge, for example, could be lower because of excess supply of chips for 2022 models, no? And am I right in thinking that even if the chips themselves are not fungible (and there is a genuine possibility that excess production of specific chips goes completely to waste), excess productive capacity is good in and of itself despite some amount of specialization?
