It is truly enlightening to see both how incredibly simple and incredibly complex computers are. Of all the classes I ever took, nothing ever blew my mind like that. Building your own processor and taking an operating systems course really builds an appreciation for the giants shoulders we stand on.

I've done these 2 of Russell Barkley's free courses:

It's a risk/reward thing. Some people go all in with their passion first, consequences be damned, and it pays off. Others, I think the larger portion, aren't so lucky. Conventional wisdom is to take the safe job first, and then go from there - the risk here is never getting out of that rut. It's a hard decision, but being really focused on defining and attaining what independence is for you, is the key to taking that safe job first. My 2c.

I may be a one off, but my dentist made me get a mouth guard because I was grinding my teeth. Made sense as I always have crazy stressful dreams. But it seems the causality reversed. Now unable to really grind, the dreams are gone. But a single night away, if I forget the mouth guard, they’re immediately back.

So 1,000 grains of salt. But if you’ve tried it all, maybe a mouth guard for your nights.
What is the structure of Musk/Twitter debt financing?

Is there a relationship between Musk's net worth via Tesla (margi collateral) and how much cash he has to provide to finance debt?
Does he need to raise personal cash if Twitter's cash flow is too low?
Practically, it can be done in a sane way like with Plan9's ubiquitous, per process vfs namespaces.

Buy from Zenni Optical. They are inexpensive and customer service is pretty great. My daughter broke an arm of one of her frames while playing at school. I emailed Zenni asking for tips on how to repair it. They sent me replacement frames for free.
Also true for small business owners.
Perhaps, but his title, and vast over simplification of the technologies he is trying to demystify is doing it all a huge disservice. Its like saying that a "Nuclear Reactor is just a steam turbine with marketing". Chroot was a very specific piece of technology that was nifty in its day, but the entire concept of how the kernel interfaces with processes had to be reworked to make namespaces work. Its not just "minor refinements and marketing" as he states. I appreciate that he is trying to show that "containers" just run in process space, but the approach is just overly simplified with no further explanation of just how simplified it is later on.
This banning of the "just" word is one of those "people are fragile" derived behavioral fashions. It's rather annoying to get stuck in the carpet's flowers in this manner. Interlocutors can meet half-way, and always putting the burden on the speaker to not utter anything that might be construed as unpleasant is quite detrimental to efficient communication. But it seems some people find enjoyment and social prestige in spending a lot of time finding things to be offended about.

Infantilizing your listener by continually attempting to neutralize your speech of any unpleasantness seems like a race to the bottom. In the end, we're all so fragile that nothing can be said rapidly, in jest, without having to first pass your speech through an internal thought police filter?
When running, containers aren’t anything more than composed process isolation primitives like chroot. Docker’s main innovation was the layering system, which made it feasible to build and distribute the large images required to ship an entire system in a container.
Yes, in the very restricted setting of schools, where the concept of "fun" is usually not included, but rather avoided at all cost.
Pushbullet has also learned the hard way how to respond to Google's faceless review process:

> Now that you know you’re up against an automated policy enforcement AI, your goal is to look as much as possible like the training data. Unfortunately, this can be easier said than done since we do not have access to the training data.

> All is not lost, however. You have actionable info in the simple fact that what your app looks like now is not acceptable.

Back when I was studying Computer Science, the fact that Computer engineering is not engineering was a very hot topic. Engineering comes with certain guarantees. If a you don't put a load more than X on a bridge for the next X years. It will not break.

How can we offer that guarantee as a profession when hardware, drivers, OSes and even libraries that we use change and shift without our control and sometimes consent?
It's interesting that the researchers assumed turning off the transmission of device analytics would also turn off the transmission of all app analytics, whether from Apple or third parties.

I also wish they would've tried Lockdown Mode, at least.

Good on you, Liam! Tech will always be there and relatively easy for you to come back to. Take your chances now while you're young and don't fret about the money while you don't need to.

To be fair I am right there with you, I was just pointing out how nifty they can be conceptually.

How is this for a real world example, that wifi interface that you configured via the GUI and clicked "do not share with other users" exists exclusively in your users namespace, ifconfig only shows it to you, other users simply don't see it and have no access to its routes? Is that a saner example of how this implementation can be used?

You can email the author, I guess. As far as I know patent authors have an eternal duty of disclosing prior art on their own patents.

I assume that if you email prior art to the author they have to report it to the USPTO. Not sure if the patent would ever be invalidated though

From the 2019 article: "... A unique Wisconsin law requires voting machine companies to place a copy of the actual vote-tabulating software in escrow after every election. Separate from the process of approving voting machines for sale, this requirement was originally intended to protect local governments’ voting-equipment investment. In case a company went out of business, the State would have a working copy of the most recently updated software as backup to keep the machines counting.

The law also requires the State to allow candidates to inspect the escrowed software if the candidates agree “to exercise the highest degree of reasonable care to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information.” The software in Wisconsin voting machines is the same as that used in other states, and any inspection could have national implications."
I bought an Apple device. Did not sign up to be anyone else’s payday. I want Apple to improve their devices. Don’t care if anyone else benefits from it.

Really frustrating to live in a country that wants forced socialization if their is opportunity to make money off me, but otherwise I’m just a cost center.

In no way does my use of an Apple device act as an open door for anyone else.

I’m not interested in technology to help some coder feed himself but because tech is fun and intellectually interesting.

Thanks. I haven't used Django for ages, but do recall using annotate() in the past. At that time, I didn't need to worry about performance, so didn't look into what happens under the hood, i.e. whether the call generates more than one SQL query.
I don't understand people still hanging on to the fiction that Apple is some sort of bastion of privacy. Do they know that google pays Apple "an estimated $8-12 billion"[0] to be default search and as a result track almost all iPhone users' searches? If that's not "selling your data" I don't know what is.

I finished a PhD in a chemistry discipline and I can attribute to it an early interest sparked by access to books in the school library on amateur chemistry experiments. Even then, it was an older book and pretty hard to find materials for a lot of the experiments ("available from your local drug store" usually meant "not available at all.")

Shame that fear is dominating over permissiveness and the fostering of natural curiosity.
Good for you. Thanks for making the world more beautiful. Good luck!
The problem is that by the time you are retired you are most likely so unplugged from the cultural zeitgeist that fuels art that you can’t possibly be good at it. You can’t possibly create anything meaningful that would speak to people who really consume art, because those people are young. They’re a few examples of outsiders who buck this trend but it’s a little presumptuous to think you’re as good as them. So now you do “art.”
It took almost two years of development to do this conversions in out project... but in my case heavy lift of move from webforms to mvc were already done, so it a bit easier.
Per the article, other vendors do just that: “He and his research partner ran similar tests in the past looking at analytics in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. In both of those apps, Mysk says the data isn’t sent when analytics settings are turned off.”
I’m also a little put off by this article, but in all those examples you could remove the word just and still have the same meaning. It’s not really adding anything.
I don't think that conflicts with what I said. You have to be able to replace the library and them shipping linkable objects does that. Most static releases do not do this.
I would start the same way my high school chemistry teacher did when she said. "sometimes science isn't safe". My uncle's childhood chemistry set had radium in it. There are a lot more of us than there were back then, it is ok if some of us die in the pursuit of knowledge. It is a worthy goal, in that people like Curie paved a way to a better standard of living for the rest of us. If you can't demonstrate any cool experiments how are you going to attract future chemists? A different uncle who actually became a chemist had a crc reference that made your fingers itch just to turn the pages. I'm half convinced it would qualify as a superfund site and it was just a reference book. We worry too much about the wrong things. I'm sure all the big pharma in the water supply is fine, but chocolate has way too much cadmium!

Looks like they just slapped 5$ pricing on the previous free tier, which also gave 1000 dyno hours with 30 minutes inactivity sleep.
I may be misunderstanding you, but can you elaborate on why you believe you need "top-tier" Ruby/Rails talent to run a performant Rails application?

In my experience, you need no more than mid-level talent.

You need a certain % of people who are strong at working with databases to ensure good (normalized, indexed, etc) database design. You also need a certain level of organizational will to avoid letting a Rails monolith get absolutely out of control, but this is less "a need for top-level talent" and more "just stick to boring old Ruby/Rails best practices."

Those are, of course, things you need when working with any stack. I don't find them to be Ruby/Rails specific.
Sounds right. One day I decided to try TitTok. Next thing I knew it was late into the night and I hadn't even eaten dinner. That was the first and last time I used that service.
I own exactly one pair of "expensive" glasses that I got from a retail chain and use as my primary pair.

I will admit, they are of much higher quality than the glasses that I order online as a back-up.

But outside of that pair, I get a print out of my prescription and go to places like www.eyebuydirect.com to get any other pairs.

The quality isn't there but we are talking about hundreds of dollars cheaper. And if anything was to happen to my main pair, I can quickly grab the $80 and I doubt anyone would even notice.

Plus, it makes wearing different styles from time to time a much more attractive offer.
But that would require them to put significant engineering effort into WPF and risks upsetting their entrench WPF users, this way they can try and build a replacement on top of Xamarin having already done the hard work of building a cross platform foundation, and because it lives off to the side away from their nice stable WPF they don’t have to worry about it actually being good enough to satisfy anyone particularly important yet. So it’s in this fun low risk, low cost (to them in terms of developer support hours) playground… consequently it’s going to suck for ages until they get it “over the hump” and critical mass of adopters begins to demand better quality.

Unless like so many other Microsoft, and now basically all Google projects … their half assed efforts to test the waters with insufficient resources behind projects and lack of long term vision for the projects eventual success, they drive away anyone from actually relying on it and thus prevent it from ever really growing large enough they care, and it will eventually rot away until it’s cancelled. Or for Microsoft, just deprecated and left as is for anyone still using it until it stops working after several years of OS upgrades.
Yes, the next workload will include ASP.
Who are "et" and "al"? /s
Thank you - its too easy to get into the weeds with mathematics and lose the "why" of something. Connecting these higher level concepts with the algebra that _most_ people have experience with ends up being a more direct way to share knowledge vs diving into the higher level stuff that enthusiasts really enjoy.
I'm sure you'll do some thinking on the philosophy of art front. To name a few recommendations: Adorno's Aesthetic Theory (1970) and Dewey's Art as Experience (1934).

> Art [as a creation] does not imitate nature, it imitates a creation [or nature, in a Spinozian meaning, which is but an eternal activity of creation], sometimes to propose an alternative world, sometimes simply to amplify, to confirm, to make social the brief hope offered by nature. (John Berger, "The White Bird")

Well, it seems the word 'exchange' in this case is used with a different meaning when applied to FTX than the meaning you have in mind.
I sat through a very similar class once upon a time.
To me, someone saying "wow that sucks" tells me this person doesn't bother to think about what I said and is barely spending brain space on listening to me, instead choosing to blurt out a generic platitude. Their response lack a proof of work. Whereas if someone answers with something that clearly demonstrates that they feel engaged in my struggle, enough to spend some brain power on it to form a useful opinion or come up with some ideas, that's much better.
I have to say that I've never used tiktok on the phone and even on the desktop it's quite engaging. But the only reason why it even exists is because vine was killed by twitter in probably the worst business decision this millennium. So it's neither new, nor unique, nor inevitable. It is just the first non-us social media site and Americans are deeply worried about suffering what they subjected the rest of the world for the last 20 years.

Since Luxottica bought out RayBan, the quality has plummeted. I have a pair of original Wayfarer II's that I got years before the buyout. The plastic is noticeably higher quality, the lenses are polarized and Bausch & Lomb. And they have five barrel hinges! Built like a tank and have survived many drops. Mine are still going strong and are 'buy it for life' quality. Still going strong after 38 years...I got them when I was 16 years old and in HS for a trip to the Bahamas.

Compare that to current RayBans. Cheap plastic. Plastic lenses. Spring hinges that break quickly and don't last. And worst of all, branding everywhere. On the temple. And again on the lens. Terrible.
Well, that's what the 'shadow' in 'shadow bank' means: less/different regulation than a normal bank.

This makes a lot of sense. The whole 'Blue Checkmark' thing got a bit out of hand. A bio/show page level indicator for after-the-fact verification of actual high end celebrity and elected politician accounts (not random nobody journalists/activists/friends of Twitter employees/etc) makes more sense.

Although most likely they'll probably just keep the existing set of verified users around because it's easier than starting over. Just like they've kept the existing moderation system in the meantime.

It should be a very limited mark of credibility, not a luxury gateway to "I'm an influencer" status for randoms. I'm sure it started that way originally, with good intentions, just like the moderation system. But this is why developing a strong culture of resisting impulses is important.

Cooking perfect rice in a pot takes technique, for sure. But it's not that hard, and if you do it right it comes out perfect just like a rice cooker.

Wash your rice. Throw in cold pot with 1:1 ratio of rice to water, + a bit extra to account for evaporation[1]. Bring to a full boil. As soon as it's boiling, drop the heat to the lowest setting and cover your pot as tight as you can and let it steam itself until ready. When ready, fluff it immediately.

[1]: the precise amount extra depends on your setup, tbh… how tight your lid seal is, how much surface area your saucepan exposes, etc. but usually an extra 25% will be about right
