With a syntax that's ridiculously easy to write a parser and generator for (with the one exception of high unicode character escape sequences being encoded as two \uXXXX escapes after each other which form a surrogate pair rather than one \uXXXXXXXX escape, which is a bitch to deal with unless you use UTF-16 internally). It's certainly easier to write a mostly-correct JSON parser than an XML parser.

nobody pay you to smoke marijuana, if somebody did and paid you even more to end up being a crackhead, many more people would and your comparison would make more sense.

People are saying this because so far it has just been much warmer than usual at this time of year, and snow in November wouldn't be the most unusual thing, and most people just assume snow=winter.

Some stats of my weather station in South Germany from this year and last year. It is much warmer this year, and even last year was pretty warm

Oct 2021: Avg: 8.5°C Min: 0.5°C Max: 22.0°C

Oct 2022: Avg: 12.7°C Min: 4.9°C Max: 21.5°C

Nov (1st to end of 11th) 2021: Avg: 4.1°C Min: -1.9°C Max: 9.4°C

Nov (1st to end of 11th) 2022: Avg: 7.8°C Min: 0.9°C Max: 15.8°C

I have no clue about weather forecasting and I can't exclude a drastic change in the coming months, but right now it just doesn't look like that at all

> Just curious whats your product/service? And how is PII used (high level)? As a dev and sw architect, and strong supporter of GDPR, I think its interesting to (attempt to) find engineering solutions for the challenges posed by GDPR (and Schrems)

It's a code forge.

For users with accounts, I have to store at least email addresses, which I believe are PII. I also need to store public keys (for commit signing), which could be considered "identification numbers" covered by the GDPR.

Even if I got away with not using email addresses, I can't get away with not storing public keys, unfortunately.

I believe that once I store any PII, it's game over, right?

By the way, I'm all for strong consumer privacy protection too. I would want the US to implement something like the GDPR as well. So I'm a supporter on some level. I'm just mad at the US government for the CLOUD Act.

We hear a lot of breakthrough-sounding news about novel methods of constructing concrete buildings - 3D printed, inflatable-formed, etc. - claiming to "solve housing" and "be able to give all of Humanity a house".

But I don't understand what problem exactly are these technologies trying to solve:

- Is there anyone in the World without (quality) housing, that can afford the concrete itself but not the labor and the cost of traditional methods to construct with it?

The challenge is for your IT/Ops folks to develop policies that allow developers to create IAM roles that delegate appropriate permissions to services, without giving those developers permission to accidentally grant too much access to automated processes that could, by malice or misconfiguration, create security vulnerabilities via elevated access.

When new services come along, a new set of rules needs to be designed to even allow devs to try that service out.

It's probably Nucleus, which is what Mediatek uses a lot on their low-end phones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleus_RTOS

It's not open source per se, but the phones themselves tend to have very little modification from the reference EVK, which means if you can find the BSP you can usually build a firmware image that will work on a device.

Given the low salaries and poor working conditions that teachers in the US generally face, yes.

It seems, however, that teachers are getting fed up, and there's finally been a bit more strike activity by teachers in the US over the last 4 years.
if everyone read more books, took career development seriously, etc i do agree that some qualities or skills would lose a bit of market value, but the overall take that no one would be better off seems like way too much if a zero sum perspective.

i think a higher standard of professional competency in general would benefit everyone, and i can’t imagine some sort of equilibrium of skillsets in the labour market where there would be no opportunity to set yourself apart in your field.
I think the author idealizes a bit strongly here. Internet infrastructure is not a garden, so I don't think the metaphor fits. And the exponentially growing requirements for hardware and power consumption are at least a real challenge - although certainly not as extreme as with proof-of-work blockchains.

May be accepted by some people but it carries a risk of electrocution.
I was on a ferry ship from Italy to Greece where they had paid sattelite Internet via WiFi. The WiFi AP was at first a captive portal. You could buy Internet access with cash at the reception or you could pay online. For that they had to enable access to stripe.com. But stripe uses fastly CDN, so they enabled one specific fastly endpoint that stripe uses. You had direct IP traffic to this specific IP address. reddit also uses fastly CDN. So with a /etc/hosts hack I could load reddit pages for free. Not images though, as they are hosted by imgur.

I assume one could also create a tunnel over reddit chat connect to the Internet, but I never did that.

By default, reddit did not work though, as their fastly CDN endpoint is different from stripe's, also the stripe's endpoint did not correctly sign TLS for reddit.com. But setting a Host header of old.reddit.com on that fastly IP successfully downloaded the page.

When I still had phone network by the coast, I set up iodine IP over DNS tunnel, but it did not work, even though DNS requests worked on that WiFi. Maybe they had some sort of protection specifically for iodine.

Hehe, I wonder how does he think how 100% remote companies continue to work and excel.
Plan 9 is a fascinating time capsule of a period where text terminals were just being replaced with graphics ones. Which of course Plan 9 had a cleverly designed one for.

However if it had become mainstream, it would be just as cluttered up with inelegant stuff as Linux is now, in the endless pursuit of, say, graphics bandwidth performance, first for videos, then for 3D immersive games and now to merely draw your desktop. Mount an audio device remotely. Lovely. But try to get that working with Bluetooth, something mainstream desktop Linux has only just recently managed (i.e. use bluetooth headsets reliably and without fuss).

Ditto for 10GB ethernet or what have you. Elegance is quickly sacrificed at the altar of efficiency and expediency. At the risk of inciting disagreement, look at what happened to the originally relatively elegant and simple X protocol.

In order for that migration to happen, the original server needs to cooperate and publish a "this person moved their account" message of some kind, right? I wonder if instance admins ever prevent that from happening if they don't like the server you're moving to.
Pretty much every single person using Linux or writing open source is doing it specifically because the choices they had were not adequate.

Don't like choice? Go back to Mac, spare us your hot takes.

You do it with folder-hooks. When you switch to a query that returns mail from a different account, you set a folder-hook that switches your From: address.
No, this is not wrong. You can't magically just "use it for something else". That's not how this works. You need to generate electricity where it is needed (or transport it, which costs money).

If there are landfills out there that are just spewing methane gas (20x worse than CO2, btw) into the atmosphere, why not make sure that is burned and used more efficiently? Please show me a realistic plan to do this. Bitcoin does it without forcing anyone and without taxes directed towards it.
A bit off-topic, but:

- Why is housing construction in the US so fragile?

We see all the time news footage of hurricanes making short work of US homes that are made of wood - and yet - after, they are reconstructed new again out of wood!

- Don't different types of construction have different insurance premiums? - Why isn't housing in the US built out of reinforced concrete & bricks, like in Europe?

Is it fair to say that maybe it’s not Eli lily who wants to charge exorbitant rates for insulin, but rather Eli Lillys investors?

I really think that the best metric is size, as in lines of code, like the article seems to to suggest. Personally I may even be tempted to use bytes.

For obvious reasons, number of features correlate with size, but I also noticed that bad code tends to be too big for the little it does. Dead code, repetition, rewriting functions that are already available because you don't know your API, etc...

Note that it is a metric, not a goal. Making your code smaller won't necessarily make it better (ex: minification), but big code is more likely to be bad and successful efforts to make it better will most likely make it smaller.
I would have been embarrassed to release it in the first case even if FTX were doing great. The investors were impressed that SBF was playing League of Legends during a fundraising meeting. They thought it was a good thing.
I was going to say that such an alternative history C++ could have had MRVs earlier, or even sum types... but apparently exceptions were added a decade after constructors (if we draw that back to the original "C with classes").

So yeah, you're right that constructors led to exceptions, unless the designers of C++ had been willing to go back to the drawing board and entirely redo constructors.
What does this have to do with blockchains?

What's the alternative? Binary protocols tend to be dependent on machine specifics such as endianness and alignment requirements, which would be a non-starter on a network-focused OS like Plan9 - as well as poorly extensible and not always properly documented. There are some well-known pitfalls wrt. text formats, such as parsing and emitting floating point numbers (which is why hexfloats are a thing) but for mostly everything else they're good enough.
> constructors don’t allow returning an error because C++ has exceptions

Didn't constructors (1979) come before exceptions (1986)? So no that's not the case.

Wouldn't kexec with a mounted filesystem lose the filesystem state because the kernel heap+stack is overwritten? I think ZBM copies the kernel/initramfs from the ZFS dataset (presumably to tmpfs), unmounts/exports, then kexec's, and the new initramfs imports/mounts the pool/dataset as usual?
It's probably easier for specific use cases where Jails better be compared to LXD and when you need "system" inside your VE (virtual environment)/Jail. And that's not what docker targeting much.

For the even simple real life use case, I and my team had for running tests over our site with https://www.sitespeed.io/ :

Use our Docker container to get an environment with Firefox, Chrome, Edge, XVFB and sitespeed.io up and running as fast as you can download them. They work extremely well together with Graphite/InfluxDB and Grafana that you can use to monitor your web site.

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/sitespeed.io" sitespeedio/sitespeed.io:26.1.0 https://www.supersite.io/

Our fronted dev and SEO guys can do from their MacOS/Windows machines with 0 knowledge of Linux and docker, just by copypaste the command in _under_ 5 minutes.

Achieving the same with Jails in even 1 hour is beyond my imagination.

Still struggling to hear any real life good samples of team work with Jails instead of Docker.
I don't believe it's saying either. It's saying that the trend is towards net zero emission and that this will happen by the end of 2024. After that I would assume we go into the negatives and improve the current situation.

"Based on the estimated average growth rate of bitcoin mining operators using vented methane of 6.9 MW/month, the Bitcoin network will become Carbon Negative in Dec ’24."
So interestingly, we will see a massive decrease in energy usage from heating thanks for climate change. Actually pretty cool.

The mainstream version of those ideas are Android, ChromeOS and servless computing on cloud environments.

Also note that these ideas are quite old, IBM and Unisys mainframes and micro-computers are quite different from their original versions, yet most applications keep running thanks to their language environments instead of shipping pure native code.

The "taking heads" always want to find some sort of causation/correlation and often it is just absolute garbage.

One day they may make a statement like : "Stocks tumble on Ukraine updates"

The very next day : "Stocks rally on Ukraine updates".

They just look for any "news" to try to show they understand the interconnected nature of news and markets. Often they are just grasping at straws.

Most company leaders are probably clueless on how to react to a downturn but feel they gotta do something. 5-15% of a layoff is the sweet spot and generally accepted practice when recession looms. Look at what Elon did by cutting 50% which is fireplace style survival mode and will crater team moral permanently. I think this article just builds reasoning around the 5-15% number to sound impressive.

This is almost the exact opposite of what I want. A lot of screentime is not healthy, and I don't want an interface which encourages that. This is based on the model of a TV running.

I want to be very deliberate about what I watch, when I watch it, and why I watch it. I don't want anything which will lead me to watching more videos or to watching them casually.

For the most part, I have specific times when I watch specific videos with family. I also use videos as a work break when I burn down. An ideal work break is 5-20 minutes, and I don't want to be pulled into any more.

It seems like a good tool, but for the opposite niche.
