Eh. They’ve certainly always foresaw people using capability systems they were building to sell computing services to each other, but I don’t see anything pointing to the particular stylized flavour of computing of cryptographic smart contracts before those developed independently(?) over the last decade.

While I’ll admit that I find the corporate gloss of the Agoric website thoroughly repulsive, I would actually like to see cryptocurrencies succeed as a boring payment instrument. It’s just that my interests have always lain more in userspace resource allocation (etc.) among applications on a single machine, and in that context both E and the original agoric papers are completely separable from their money aspects, while any developments in the cryptographic consensus direction seem unlikely to be. Conversely, it’s not like the original object-capability work seems universally attractive to me—Shapiro advocated some system mechanisms that are, as far as I can tell, DRM-complete. But those are, again, separable from the rest of the ideas.
Interesting. Learned about liquibase which I hadn't heard of and looks like just what we need to handle schema changes over time across environments. Anyone used it or alternatives specifically for Postgres?
Suicides have been rising since 2000. I think we should go back to tricyclics antidepressants. They worked better than SSRIs.

Well, sometimes at least: We moved from Asia (Singapore) to Europe, and while waiting for our movers to arrive, we checked the childrens bedroom in the new house against the dimensions of their beds _looked up on the European IKEA site_: The bed would not fit.

When the movers came with our container, I checked the dimensions on the actual IKEA bed we had bought in Singapore: It was smaller than the European version, and fit perfectly into the bedroom.

A reflection on where entrepreneurship and finance went wrong, and a call for a better way of doing things.
Well, back in the day, when intros still fulfilled their original purpose of being added to cracked games, every byte that you could save counted. Most games already used the 880K available on an Amiga floppy pretty well, so the chances of finding an extra 64K for your intro were slim...
I think your comment is pretty reasonable, but I really can't resist making this observation.

> It will put very strong pressure during the transition...

As opposed to exponential growth? With the number of people we've got wandering around, we're one slightly-worse-than-COVID disaster away from 100s of millions to billions of people starving to death. An outcome like Japan's is significantly better than what is likely to happen in Africa.

I think you would have heard howls of protest from global airlines if they were forced into suboptimal routing as part of some grand experiment.

In fact the trend is opposite, towards technology-enabled free-routing of each individual flight.
" "why don't we all stop wasting money on locks and just all of us agree to stop stealing?" Or "why do we need money? Can't we just all do our part and only take what we need?" Or "why can't we agree to end wars?"

We can and do so - in small societies, like inner family and close friends - where trust exists.

So in thery maybe this trust can grow to eventually connect all humanity, but I really would not count on it.

So wouldn't it be nice, if we are all nice to each other? Yes but we ain't. Not with these existing tensions.

Know what the poor world thinks?

"The west got rich by polluting and now we are supposed to stay poor, because polluting is not allowed anymore? Not fair."

And I think they have a point.

When you are starving, you cannot afford to care if the gasoline and coal you are using is causing more long term problems. You are happy, that you have the coal in the first place, if you are cold or need power.

So yes, idealism likely will not solve anything. But it can help make the transition to a sustainable economy.

And I rather would distribute low tech solar cookers and high tech solar panels on scale, than mess with the atmosphere.

When I think about the problem statement I see some type of identity verification service which can be public and require higher level KYC before granting access.

Think if the tech sites allowed for student access like a Facebook social loving integration. Instead of directing to fb they could be directed to an IdP which contains validated age metadata that the sp would accept and then minimize privilege gates?

I found the vulnerabilities, but am no expert for the Wifi stack.

DoSing is now "easy" as you say, just send those frames and a Linux computer that is currently listening to the network (e.g. scanning for networks) and thus processes the Beacon frames will at least crash. It might be the case that some wifi chips will filter those invalid frames or crash themselves, that depends on the actual hardware / firmware.

The victim must not be connected to a malicious AP or similar, so there is no requirement for tricking a user into something.

RCE is not trivial at all, but due to the nature of the different faults, might be possible. Therefore, see e.g. Mathy Vanhoef who discovered several impressive Wifi vulnerabilities in the past:

Yeah, it seems like everything these days is about figuring out how to get everyone motivated to have a revolution. We probably already hit peak civilization at some point over the last 20 years and this revolution stuff is just speeding up the downslope off of that.

In your case you need a couple more steps: generate uvs and render to texture.
I previously worked at Microsoft in an unrelated area, but had a friend who worked on CosmosDB, and later a different part of Azure.

There are some Microsoft products I genuinely love, but some are terrible. To an extent it is a reflection of the inconsistency in internal teams. Culture, values, skill level, and quality bar are all over the place depending on who you talk to, even compared to other large companies.

From what I had heard, CosmosDB was not a healthy team, and I would not consider using it as a product.
I used to report things like this that I had found, including cases where I can see people used the default "sample" config for security purposes, but I found that either people would not care at all, or massively overreact and somehow blame me.

If an organisation is disorganised enough to leave critical details in public, they're probably too disorganised to handle someone reporting it.

Even in PC-land, I don't think there's much choice when it comes to ECC in laptops.

I can only remember one model of Lenovo that had an option to have a Xeon CPU with ECC RAM. I've never seen one with an AMD CPU.
Co-founder of Raycast here. We've been using Linear since the beginning when it was only two of us. We're 16, and the app has become integral to our workflows. In a small company, it's crucial to be aligned. We use Linear to spec out our work and build up momentum. We ship an update of Raycast every two weeks and use cycles and projects to ensure we keep the release schedule.

I love the speed of the app. The real-time sync and keyboard shortcuts guarantee fast interactions. We surround ourselves with the best tools to raise the bar of what everybody expects from software. It helps us to build better software, and Linear is an app (and website) that pushes our understanding of quality forward.
I find it odd how all the innovations in getting broadly useful algorithms into a standard library happened in C++ but not C.

It almost feels like the people who keep churning out new standards of C just gave up and decided that part of it couldn't be improved any further.

C++ Developer (Qt) – Audacity
I saw this today as I opened Audacity for recording a vinyl record I bought and was annoyed at the UI, which prompted me to search "Audacity Qt" in hopes of seeing the audacity team or someone taking it up, and well, this was the first result. A job opening if someone wants to rewrite Audacity into Qt.
If we all live like billionaires, who does the actual labor affording us this lifestyle?

Starvation poverty is not the result of overpopulation. Quite the contrary: people in extreme conditions are more likely to have more children because high child mortality means any individual child is less likely to surive so if you want a heir (and an income provider since child labor likely also exists), you'll need more of them.

Studies have shown again and again that raising the standard of living (and access to medical care and family planning) reduces population growth. Studies have also shown that extreme wealth disparity directly leads to social instability (read: crime). Not simply poverty but poverty next to oppulence.

If you want a stable society with a stable population size, you need low wealth inequality. If you want to eliminate extreme poverty, you need to eliminate extreme wealth. Changing tax law so billionaires can't exist won't fix poverty but it will seal a constant drain on societal wealth and make it easier to fund public works programmes to empower people to leave poverty and welfare programmes to support those who can't.

Of course that's a much less edgy answer than just letting poor people starve because they're just too dumb to make good choices like not being poor or not being born in a country coerced to optimize their economy for the cheap export of unrefined resources and low-value cash crops wealthier nations can refine and use to create luxury goods to sell back to them at a massive premium.

Death spirals happen. Its a risk that lockups expiring create ongoing dilution not met by increased demand. Thats not controversial or exclusive to crypto assets, the early liquidity is currently exclusive and competitive.

The liquidity pool technology fixes the liquidity issue and many company’s investors park additional capital in the liquidity pools. Sometimes even their unvested tokens sit in them or the generated liquidity pool shares is put in the vesting timelock smart contract, guaranteeing liquidity for others (which often increases confidence for holding, knowing that people can get out at any time)

I've had extensive experience on both sides of the fence -- working on apps within existing frameworks, and also maintaining custom frameworks & libs for apps using those. Unfortunately I find this article of very little value.

The author's claimed idea of "decoupling from the framework" is generally ineffective & impractical. It leads to extra layers of adapters & SPI with high cost and almost always zero value.

These sure add bloat & make the codebase pointlessly difficult to navigate, but are improbably unlikely to ever add value in allowing the framework to actually be changed.

Difficulties include mismatched abstractions, endless adapter layers, parameter types for methods also all needing to be abstracted, restricted capabilities, difficulty conveying behaviour/ dynamism rather than static values, and -- of course -- poor performance.

Results are severe choke-points hindering functionality, broken abstractions where stuff actually had to be done, and 90% of the SPI abstractions turning out worthless if you ever did try to migrate to another framework.

I'm an architect. I've seen people's non-portable abstractions so many times. The article's advice just seems so unlikely to help.

Pick a framework that offers long-term maintainability and lets you separate out your domain model & business logic, and just code directly in it.

Rather than railing against bad frameworks from limited experience (perhaps in rickety languages too), the author should perhaps spend some time to find a good one. Spring is fine for many purposes. The MVC is coupled at the front, but your domain model need not & should not be. Focus on that, which should be your business value.

It's worse than that - android kernels process beacon frames even if wifi is disabled.

So you should be worried about this if you have an android 11/12 phone, even if you don't use wifi.

Linux desktop/laptop users should be worried if they have wifi enabled, even if not connected to a network.
No, I agree, it is the sensible thing to be doing, but it looks like we are at a point where radical short term fixes are needed.

It's a result of antisemitism - Jews weren't allowed to participate in most trades (or have building on streets for example, like here in London), so money lending was one of the few roles available. I've never heard religious teaching barring Jewish people from other trades.
if "they" have been doing chemtrails for years to avert climate change, then the conclusion to draw is that "they" are the ultimate source of the insane conspiracy theory. why? if only loons are against it, then the vast majority of people will be inclined to support it. if you didn't do that preperation, you'd have much closer to an even split.

There was a significant part of the UK IT consulting market which was not really consulting though right? People turning up and doing the same job day in day out for months or years.

At least in the IT industry people legitimately had some freedoms. I was amused to learn that a lot of lorry drivers were operating as contractors outside IR35. Not even those driving their own vehicles. The driving regulations make it pretty difficult for one driver to do anything different from another driver.
> Again... Jews are not a race unless specifically directed towards those people originating from a specific region.

You are fairly unique globally in this view.

My understanding is that you realise Jews are an ethno-religious group, but you believe criticism of Jews is generally based around religious ideas rather than race.

My belief is that unless religious law is specifically mentioned the simplest case - racism - is the most likely reason. Occam's razor and all.
I deal with this by having a directory in my development tree, named ”doNotCheckThisIntoSourceControl”, and I add a wildcard of it to my global .gitignore.

I’ll put things like server secrets and whatnot, there.

Of course, I need to make sure the local directory is backed up, on this end, since it is not stored in git.

Works a treat.
The full quote is

> I think I started thinking about this idea when I read the remark "win32 is the stable Linux userland ABI". That is, Linux churns so much that a given program written today won't work in a year; meanwhile, programs written in the Windows 95 32-bit era are guaranteed to never change again.

I think the point is that the Linux kernel ABI is super stable, but the Linux userland ABI (meaning, the system libraries your program uses) has breaking changes.

Traditionally, Linux binaries aren't distributed with their libraries; it's expected that the distro will place the libraries in the right version and in the correct place. Unfortunately distros rarely keep around old libraries indefinitely. This means that distributed binaries will eventually fail to run. (get any .deb from an old Debian and try to run on a new Debian, it likely won't work. Now, get any installer from Windows and try to run.. on Wine, it will probably work)

So, if you want stability, you need to use one of those package formats that bundle the application and all its libraries (like Snap, AppImage and Flatpak), that looks awfully like Windows installers :t except that Windows application don't need to bundle system libraries like the libc, because Windows extends their stability guarantees to dlls like user32.dll - that is, Windows has a _stable userland ABI_. Contrast this with Linux, where glibc is known to break from time to time.

So.. suppose you have a binary to run but doesn't have all of its libraries - the binary expects that system libraries are to be found at their well known places. Would you prefer this binary to be a Linux binary, or a Windows binary? Since Linux can run Windows programs just fine (or sometimes, better than Windows) with Wine, win32 might as well be the stable userland that Linux is missing

Technically correct.

Russia is about 40% of the continent but few people want to go there, especially under current circumstances, and the remaining 16 countries are either EU associated (Switzerland & co), former members (UK), EU candidate countries, or countries frankly too small and/or poor and/or remote.

The EU is the elephant in the room.
