(First, strcat, thank you so much for your work on GrapheneOS. I should have a little ETH to send to the project in a few weeks, to make this sentiment a bit more concrete.)

Regarding community among people valuing security and privacy...

On my most recent big phone/handheld switch, I tried CalyxOS first, but found that I personally preferred GrapheneOS.

I think CalyxOS also has its merits.

Users of CalyxOS and GrapheneOS are relatively small groups, with overlapping interests, and together are stronger, if the tone is friendly competition and mutual assistance.
I'm relishing the fact that a full reset is coming. BRING IT ALL DOWN!!!! Rebuild a new future!
> It already seems to be an afterthought after Gigapipe and Firebolt debuts.

This is referring to Clickhouse Inc. and is way off the mark. If you're looking for hosted Clickhouse, why would a company whose CTO is the creator of Clickhouse be an "afterthought"? Their cloud product offers separation of storage and compute, but you still have an escape hatch to self-hosting if you need it (which you wouldn't have with Firebolt).

Clickhouse has only one major flaw, joins. If Clickhouse improves join's, it will become the standard open source OLAP database.
all platforms are addsales platforms,

I watched Citizen Kane recently. I felt there were strange parallels with Musk, which makes me think it's a pattern that happens when people get stupid rich.

Basically everything on Amazon has become an ad
Very few engineers are within a constant factor of one another.

One person has the same title as another but everyone knows that person A does person B’s job in the shower.

This is why serious companies use low key stock options or RSUs to pay person A 1000x more than person B.

This stuff is hard, it’s all a gradient right?

But Meta just whacked 10+ percent of staff in the biggest tech layoff ever and the street responded positively.

Most people aren’t smart enough to do this shit, and efforts to democratize a field that should be more credentialed and regulated is why we keep fucking up as an industry. We have no (public) respect for the difference between the pros and the TypeScript dabblers.
I suggest you to start on the field that you most keen on. Then get an online developer to get in touch on your needs. They will supply you with their preset modules and interface to build the project. If you need help, there is their community helping each others, so you won't stuck halfway. There is a minimal fee for subscriptions based on your needs and online courses.

Eh, turn your screen upside down!
I dropped out from mechatronics studies. I don't think I was mature enough to study at that age. The course was designed to take in about 100 people each year with about 20% eventually expected to graduate. I don't think I remember anyone who could say they made it in the field. A friend became a director in a manufacturing company but the stuff they make would require no more than half a year of mechanics studies.. Potentially very interesting field with very few ending up doing something exciting.
why would you do all this work when postgres sorted this all out over a decade ago?
The subtitle (or supertitle?) says "Debunking degrowth", implying that the idea of degrowth is that no decoupling is possible and that proponents of degrowth promote negative growth as measured in GDP per capita.

From my limited understanding, degrowth actually stands for different ideas, such as:

- GDP is not a relevant measure for wellbeing

- reduced consumption can lean to higher wellbeing for the individual (reduced working hours, more time for family, gardening etc)

- worth of policy should be measured by new, more holistic criteria
I’ve got a horrid feeling you’re waiting for this precise question, but any source on degrowth being the aim of a “lot” of climate activists to the extent that it’s vaguely mainstream (as opposed to just being a minor current, which I’m aware exists)

- Use FF + lots of blocker addons

- Use Linux

- Encrypt files

- Use signals

- Use Android without a google account or a play store

- Use google products as little as possible

- No whatsapp, no Insta, no FB

- Use pcloud encrypted solution for online storage

But even with all that, I'm pretty sure the impact is limited, real privacy would require a lot more. Not to mention banking, power companies and so on are going to sell your data no matter what.

Besides, most people would not even do 10% of this. Not even switch to FF.

And if they are transparent and knows you, they give a lot of data on you anyway.

It's a battle we are loosing.

Being slightly closer to a NTP server doesn’t at all warrant saying a service runs best on AWS. Accurate time isn’t going to improve your Linux or Java performance in any way.
As you said, let's not confuse privacy and security.
In regards to privacy, I've given up on absolute privacy. However, I still self-host various things such as email, calendar, contacts, password managers and whatnot, but it's less for privacy reasons at this point, a bit for security reasons, but in reality it's mainly for control.

I won't lose access to my data if a company shuts down, or if some bad actor decides to maliciously send child pornography to my email and get my whole Apple/Google account cancelled (with no easy support for getting it back)

All in all, being able to export (data portability) comes first and foremost, regardless if it's not the most privacy-friendly program. If I can self-host it? All the better.
Yes, this is what the quitting is about. There would be no reason to quit if someone more valuable than you also earns more; that just makes sense.
I was that other student - the one who was being berated. My PI acted terribly towards his subordinates just because he had it badly during his years as a student. That is not an excuse to act this way to another human being IMO.

I went to a U.S. PhD program during the '08 recreation out of necessity. It was a terrible experience and ultimately I ended up quitting. I've never quit anything before in my life so this was an especially jarring experience.

I left, got a job in tech (my original true passion if I'm honest), and never looked back. I learned a few things from that experience.

I learned that if you don't know what you want to do, then just try a lot of different things so you can compare. I learned that you shouldn't do something solely because of external expectations. I learned how important it is to treat people like humans no matter what their job is. I also learned how warm, interesting, and inviting the tech community is.

I'm appreciative every day for that last one as that's why I'm here with you right now.
This is pretty much how it works in the military, except it's because you are single you don't need to get paid as much as people who are married, but since you're not married you also have plenty of time to stay later and do all the bullshit details. Oh, also if you're an E-5 or below you don't need to have your own home with real amenities like a stovetop.

In case you were wondering why there's so much marriage and divorce in the military...

I have given up on privacy.

Any steps I take to preserve my privacy are negated by my inactions of years past, the current actions of my friends and family, and the actions of my government

That said…

I use an adblocker because it makes the browsing experience better and I use Firefox because it makes me feel better about browsing the internet.

I’m in the apple ecosystem which makes me feel slightly more private and occasionally use signal to have certain conversations with certain people

Of course at the end of the day I know whatever I do doesn’t really matter and the worst thing that could happen is I get more targeted ads.

Sure, I could get targeted by the government should it turn evil, but I don’t believe that online privacy would prevent that from happening anyways. I’m just not that interesting of a person so I take solace in that.

Now that I’m writing this.. I’m non religious and I believe in the right to own firearms. These opinions could make me a target or make me more interesting to an evil government. I guess I just hope the checks and balances we have are enough.
There is a big mountain to climb, but I don't think we need to wait until the technology delivers everything we want all at once. Google Glasses were released in 2013 and while they don't possess that long list of features, they are functional in similar dimensions to regular glasses: https://www.google.com/glass/start/. I would wear these. The road to better AR/VR products will be in iterating on these; making the display better and better, and the hardware lighter and lighter.
Assuming an employer is the proper authority for deciding how much workers "need", and completely ignoring the conflict of interest.

* OpenWRT on Router

* Multiple VLANs to isolate black boxes such as TV when I can't avoid it

* I self-host a lot of services

I use subscriptions for everything I watch but I also track each channel with RSS. One of the things I have noticed is that even the subscriptions page is being manipulated and sometimes it doesn't contain all the videos. Its very common to then find the video that should have appeared on subscriptions under the home page as a recommendation some hours after it already appeared on the RSS stream. So while subscriptions is the best way on youtube its only about 95% accurate. The only way that I know that always works is RSS.

Which frankly I think is nuts.
I don't feel like I do much either, but I loathe advertising, so I do run a (to me) modest suite of defenses. I run uBlock Origin, set to default block all third-party content, and DuckDuckGo's extension in Firefox. I have the Tor Browser installed for when I'm feeling particularly paranoid, and a blocking VPN on my Android phone. There are certainly leaks, but I never see any malicious content.
This would make me immediately drop YouTube for good. I only view videos via subscriptions and organic recommendations. No subscriptions basically means no YouTube for me.
If we were serfs owned by a Baron, we would imagine it was politically untenable that the Baron would ever give us freedom, and yet the liberation of the serfs happened.

So, you're saying, hopefully we will soon have "abundant supplies of cheap GHG emission-free energy" and no other resource scarcity to support that infrastructure?

I count myself as sympathetic (but also skeptical) towards the degrowth movement. I don't interpret it as saying that we should (only) reduce consumption and ignore progress in the form of efficiency/decoupling. Rather, the message seems that doing both, simultaneously, is easier/faster/cheaper overall.

I can see Musk making polarization bigger, but for the love of god I cant see him making smaller.
>How can you have a working government which has these problems?

I know after a decade+ of mainstream culture shitting on people for what they do outside of their professional capacity this is going to seem like an odd opinion but doing bad things and/or having moral failings outside of the specifics of work does not preclude being good at one's job.

How do you think all those wife beating cops everyone talks about manage to stay employed? They do their jobs.

All those commies that McCarthy said infiltrated industry, how did they get there? They did their jobs.

Alan Turning's "moral failings" were so bad he was criminally convicted for them yet he did some of the highest quality work in his field.

Etc. etc.
I have a tangential question:

Say you find an youtube channel you like. It has 800 videos, or so Google says when you search for the channel name in youtube.

Can I be sure that when I click on the videos tab on the channel's page I get access to all those 800 videos?
I don't see the significance. That would not explain a burst bandwidth being greater than sustained bandwidth.

BTW, I'm pretty sure in sunny cove they just went from 1x 64-byte store port to 2x 32-byte store ports, so the actual bandwidth did not increase for vectorised code.

It looks to be targeted at large organizations that have very strict ITIL based change control and they have to go through a CAB level approval process for every single change. I've worked in one of those environments before and yeah, the CAB would question the need to have two different configurations to effectively handle the same job.

The concept of ITIL is one of those "good on paper" type things but at some places they think its only a starting point and it's like death by meeting.
I think with the scale requirements of YouTube, we can not assume that the search is powered by one single DB or any traditional, relational DB at all.

Some things that are easy with one DB, get surprisingly hard when you scale up. Lets give them the benefit of the doubt regarding technical issues here.
You know? Whether we like it or not, an asian is not usually looking at the watch to see when it is time to go.

Productivity-wise I think they make some mistakes we westernes do not make, like for example, in communication, because of many cultural things, they tend to not speak out. That is in our advantage to some extent.

On the other hand, they are not going to look at the clock and say "hey my contract is 40 hours I am gonna call the union!". Like it or not, this part is destroying us.

It is a matter of time. China is already overtaking US in some key areas technology-wise, like electric car (they own also 80% of lithium mines) and other stuff. So if you want to fool yourself...

My opinion is that we have been getting steadily worse in values from the fact that we became very comfortable. By this I mean also myself: my parents were better in attitude and my grandparents also.

That is how I see it. God forgive me for being politically incorrect and wanting to enslave humanity (probably I would be accused of things like this nowadays in Europe) or something for saying that, but productivity comes from labour.

I think the problem is not just the quality of jobs, but the number too.

> When I copy the DB over to another system, I don't need that table. So it would be nice to have like primary.db and secondary.db. With 'details' in secondary.db. Any downside to this approach? Are JOINS slower across two files than across two tables in the same file?

I'm in the middle of refactoring my personal project such that "shared" data is in one database, and "personal" data is in a separate database; the idea being that every user will have a separate SQLite "connection", with their own "personal" data ATTACHed. I had reasonably extensive functional testing before the refactor, and after the refactor I didn't have any issues from a functional perspective.

Potential advantages:

- Each user can download their own "personal" database whenever they want

- This is essentially a form of "sharding", which should go a long way towards mitigating the "single writer" bottleneck; as the "shared data" will change much less frequently than the "personal" data. It should also make it fairly straightforward to distribute the workload across multiple servers / regions, should my project ever get that big.

Haven't done any performance testing yet.

Main issues I've encountered so far:

- Foreign key constraints across the databases is missing; that's just a reduction in safety, however.

- Golang's "automatic connection management" doesn't play well with SQLite's "ATTACH" command: it expect to automatically open new connections, but the secondary connections won't have the ATTACHed databases. This is solvable, but something to watch out for.

As implied, I'm still in the middle of changing things over, so it's early days; but so far things seem positive.

- Firefox with First Party Isolation, resist_fingerprinting, uBlock, Cookie Autodelete (with manual exceptions), and LocalCDN. This is the basic set up to have at least some degree of privacy on the www. I wish there was a simple way to have this all set up out of the box, or 99% of technical users won't be able to do this unless their techy friend does it for them.

- On the phone, besides a similar setup for the browser, I run LineageOS+microg, AdAway (system-wide ad-block), AfWall on allow mode (block internet access for all apps except whitelisted), and XPrivacyLua (fakes permissions for apps which refuse to run without them).
