That's one aspect. They implement UEFI, but no support for user loading of certificates. So you have to disable Secure Boot, making it considerably less secure than alternatives. There's no interface or drivers for T2, so again less secure than alternatives with TPM 2.0.

No one tell my Timex! This thing's running for life
As someone who first came to Elixir from Erlang background, but also someone who has to work a lot with Python and hates every second of it... I'd need a completely different set of arguments.

I don't like Ruby-like syntax. Not having something to separate expressions other than whitespace is a big turn-off for me. Something I also hate about Python. Something that a lot of forced Python programmers also see as a turn-off.

Another, and perhaps superficial impression I got from Elixir is that it's Web-centric. I don't care about Web and have a strong distaste for everything that touches it. Python first appeared under the spotlight due to its Web framework, Zope, which kind of set the stage for that. Web had and still has a huge influence on how Python ecosystem developed, and that wasn't a good influence. I'd need an argument that says that Elixir is good outside of Web.

I strongly believe that development speed is only in a very small part due to the language, and in a very big part due to how well you know the language. So, trying to convince me that the language is good because you could shave off a few minutes on a trivial task isn't going to convince me it's good. Working with large old programs is where productivity tools really matter because that where the bulk of my work goes to.

But, really, I could never see the appeal of Elixir, when compared to Erlang. So, there's that. Also, I don't think it's worth it selling new technologies to Python programmers. Overwhelmingly, Python programmers are there either because it's popular and they like it, or because it's popular and they don't like it. Even in my first steps in Python world in early 2000's, I already knew there are better things than that. Quality was never a concern here, unfortunately.
While it's a balancing act, they bought it with the legal understanding that they could veto certain actions because those required 100% agreement. Surely it's fine print BS to say "sure, X requires you to agree, but modifying the agreement so you no longer have to agree in the future and then immediately holding another vote does not require you to agree". At that point, there is literally no value to the first part of that sentence.
While it is entirely possible the problem here is those execs, devs and bioinformaticians. There do seem to be many other common factors than the macs here.

Maybe they all need nonstandard software? God forbid, maybe they need administration permissions, but the org doesn’t want to give it to them, so they end up calling in every other day to get something unlocked (I know that’d be true for me).

Maybe it’s the problem solving skills of the IT team when it comes to mac, so people keep coming back with the same issues (good ones are Outlook/Teams being permanently broken, or VPN not connecting).

On the whole, I’d steer away from any explanation that would require all 500 mac users to be idiots.
Not to be too theoretical, but aren't we the government? It is not some other entity, it is reducing our own debt burden that we owe collectively (presuming you are American). If anything the most angry should be foreign holders of American currency.

This sounds like a really outdated opinion about Linux.

If you make a little effort selecting decently supported hardware, everything should work out of the box.

I actually use Linux (NixOS) because for my particular usecases, maintenance burden is lower than macOS.

The map for Europe is a map of organizational/bureaucratic boundaries within the ENTSO-E; the world map on that page correctly omits regions not connected to the big synchronized grids.

Alaska, similarly, is a set of two isolated grids, connected only by organizational ties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Interconnection
Look I’m no social psychologist but I don’t think this is unstudied or surprising stuff? It’s generally known that humans are incredibly good at getting used to bad things that happen in a regular/routine/predictable manner. Eg deaths from cancer/cars/smoking/domestic violence/Covid/etc don’t make the news, despite happening in large numbers. It’s unpredictable suffering that jolts us - volcanoes, air crashes, shootings. It’s just the way we are.
If I had to guess(but what do I know) it’s part evolutionary - predictable risk can be managed, avoided, plannned for, controlled. Unpredictable is new and thus much more threatening.
As someone with disorganized thinking, I'll counter with this. Documentation and clearer writing is the antidote. If the people around you can't do either, it's time to switch teams.
Is this sarcasm? St. Petersburg is I guess a bit more than 100 km from the Estonian and Finnish borders, but not a lot more.

> If they really wanted a strategic buffer, they'd have created one using their own, existing territory

Russia is big but the homeland is in western Russia, they would have to move their big cities to the east, far away from trade routes and gas pipes to europe and at an impractical cost.

Keep in mind, the buffer is not just for invasions but for icbms. To shoot down one, the earlier, the better. Once they enter space it's harder than hitting a bullet with another bullet. ICBMs are their proverbial penis and THAAD is a strategically placed castration device if I can be a bit obscene here. This also includes medium range missiles of course but essentially, Russia wouldn't be able to use nukes effectively against countries to its west and south.
You must not have opened the map for longer than a quick second because there is no supply route to Moldova for Russia.
I built my first SPA for a company I worked for in 2006! It was funny trying to explain to the lead engineer that it was possible to build a web app without page refresh. He didn't believe me at first.

And that was already a while after Outlook Web access, and even later than people using hidden iframes to simulate XHR before XHR existed. They might not have been common, but they're old by now.

Yes. Very Dropbox.
This is exactly why I tell people not to buy a condo (in the USA). In the north east you see "triplex", or a three-unit multifamily home. Usually separate individuals own each the units and all is well.

However, as life happens one unit will eventually go for sale. I've heard of a case where one of the other owners bought a unit so they owned 2 out of the 3, and then placed a very expensive special assessment to gut renovate the entire thing as it was in bad shape, but livable.

The other owner couldn't afford this and so they too were bought out at a fraction of the price.
That's completely different. With Fon and BT WiFi, your router has an extra AP, so "others" are physically present near the router. With Luminati, the "other" can be literally the highest bidder on the Internet.
As is the case for seemingly all these open source competitors, one notably already needs to have a network connection between the systems a-priori for this to work.

Bluetooth or wifi-p2p networking is still largely untouched, with only Apple and Google having proprietary options, and both being tied to your user account.

I like sagemath. They have integration with sympy, and they also have many features making python simpler when you want to do mathematical things.

There's latex display feature when in notebook. It looks good, can even have symbolical matrices and display them as you would've expected.

It's on par with Wolfram notebook, but you get to program in python instead of some propietary language.

If you got some really long formula, it's easier to see you got it correctly by displaying it symbolically in latex.

They have other things to smooth out the parts of python which are annoying in math, like exponentiation works with ^, and dividing integers returns a rational number instead of floating point or an integer.

In that vein, is there something that could allow me to manage authorized_keys via DNS? Let's say I own capableweb.com, I'd love it if sshd could just read all records from keys.capableweb.com and use those as valid public keys.

I have bunch of personal servers, and bunch of keys in use, many of the servers are not automated (they're pets, not cattle), so when I rotate keys, it's sometimes a hassle.

Right, I guess my point is, they probably use that algorithm wherever there's a blur. Not just in one specific place.

The simultaneity and single reference frame of the sand hitting example means there are no contradictions present.

Assuming a finite speed limit to information transfer exists, exceeding that limit means you can create a potentially unlimited number of contradictions in state.

It would be like watching the waves do what they do, but none of it happened, because no matter what you think you saw, there is at least one contradiction (due to the teleporting meddler). Like if you imagine any one state, and you meddle it to be impossible, as if doing Cantor’s diagonalization on the potential state space (if you can do literally instant teleportation and action with no cooldown).

The so-called separatists don't represent the people no matter how you approach them. In the earliest days, they consisted of local thugs, the kind of people who come out just to destroy something at protests. Then intelligence operatives like Igor Girkin were quickly installed to direct the violence against Ukraine and its institutions in a controlled way to achieve Russian goals, and then regular armed forces took over. At no point did it have anything to do with people and their will.

Nor would I put much value on polls conducted in conditions where people can get murdered for publicly supporting some of the answers. I wonder what Parisians in 1940 would've answered if they got a phone call asking if they wanted to be a part of Germany - while people were disappearing.

> Which isn't that surprising, considering that the elected President they supported was driven out of office by a revolution. That kind of thing would make anyone question their democracy. If you must compare it to Jan 6th, it's as if the Jan 6th riots had lasted for weeks and at the end, the President preferred by the rioters took over.

Yanukovych was removed from the office by the parliament. It's as if Congress had voted Trump out of the office after January 6th riots, Trump fled abroad and some unhappy Trumpers stormed further goverment buildings, and then Mexican army rolled in to support "separatists" and occupied Arizona and Texas, and then Mexican intelligence operatives cosplaying as independent freedom fighters asked Mexico to annex Arizona and Texas into Mexico.
Update: today I was shown 8 ads in a row on FB. The first two ads were for the same storage company (but at different locations). I was shocked to see this pairing, as well as the sheer magnitude of the back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back ads. I took a screen capture video, if you want to see it.

Yeah you could repair this, but after two years you won't want to
I assume GP meant the act of imposing windfall taxes - if you know for certain that x% of your profits will be eaten up in taxes, but you can only make some sort of rough guess at how much more demand there might be as a result of cash handouts etc., there's probably not a great motivation to expand production.
Wood stoves typically have a damper as well. You open it until you have a good draft going and then you close it. It doesn't block off the flue entirely but it keeps a lot of the heat from going up the chimney.

That could help and I have experimented with relative line numbers but have decided against it. I want to see absolute line numbers for matching up error messages and I find it's easier to communicate in absolute line numbers when doing code reviews or pair programming

Do you honestly believe that you’re so much better then the average person? That you’ve unlocked some sort of increased intellectual ability that’s granted you access to The Secret? That you’re just…better than the lemmings?

Statistically speaking, you’re probably of about average intelligence and just have delusions of grandeur relative to “modern Americans”, perhaps based on a fundamental misunderstanding about their thoughts, intentions, and motivations. Do you really think that people “really really really despise” choice in the market? Frankly the most impassioned and vitriolic view…the one that I’d say involves “really really despising” something, or someone, is yours.

Some kid in a bunker in Utah would take his hand off his dick long enough to pilot the drone right down your chimney, and blow you, your family, your gun, your dog, your truck, and about 100m radius worth of your neighbours into snotters, jam, and gravel.

Just like it played out in Afghanistan.

Nope. That wasn't sarcasm.

Oh yeah, they could just invade other countries instead.

Pretty sure that won't inconvenience their population either. <-- SARCASM HERE ;)
I'm not sure what you are asking.

People said disagreeing with the organization of BLM means you disagree that black lives matter.

If you disagree with groups that use it is OK to be white, then using the same logic that means you disagree with the phrase as well.

This research will be ignored because if they implemented this individualized learning program with AI, there'd still be a bunch of kids who would do poorly and the smart kids would do great and then people would complain even though all kids would do better.

Mathematica costs $387 for the "home desktop" version, or $194/year for the online version. Pretty steep for anyone doing math as part of their hobby. Maybe it would be fine if math itself is your hobby, but even then I'd rather spend that on books.

Of course this is all moot if you're an academic and your school pays for all the licenses to any software you need.

I've only dabbled in forth so I'm not the right one to answer - but I just want to mention there are other stack based or concatenative languages like Factor and Joy that have had a lot of work put into them.

Don't be rude? You compared me to a 9/11 truther. We're done here. I'm rude in response to your rudeness. I'm wrong though, I shouldn't be rude in response to you.. The proper thing to do is to end the conversation. Good day.
Oh, but I am going to defend Dependabot. It’s not there to secure your app. It’s there so your smallcorp team can get one or two PRs a day against your codebases, updating your software dependencies one at a time — rather than an unmanageable mess or slow rot on old systems. That’s literally the original design goal. Any security implications are indirect.
>China was taking our "recyclables" that were never actually recyclable, telling us they were recycling it, and instead dumping almost all of it in landfills.

I wish more people understood this. Plastic recycling is mostly a lie and has been for decades. If you use plastic, it's not getting recycled. All your plastic packaging, water bottles, everything ends up in a landfill if responsibly disposed of, or in the ocean if not.

https://www.plasticsoupfoundation.org/en/plastic-problem/bog...

We should really stop using plastics for the vast majority of packaging. Return to wax paper and cardboard, glass bottles, etc. An easy way to regulate this would be to include the cost of recycling, so selling plastic becomes more expensive than traditional methods of packaging. Another is to limit the amount of stuff you can put in a single plastic container by volume, say nothing smaller than a gallon / 4 liters can go into a plastic container. That would be a start.

It's not going to happen because our politicians' election campaigns are funded by corporations. They can't get elected without taking money from corporations. The person who can get the most donations from corporations wins. The exceptions aren't numerous enough to change any congressional votes. This recycling lie, that's been going on since at least the 80s, was conjured up to prevent pressure of regulation. Nothing to see here, it's recycled. Problem solved.
Does anyone notice the irony of it being partly repairable, while offering just three years of security updates, after which you basically have to throw the thing away? The repairability sounds nice, but it is very irrelevant compared to the limited software updates. Imagine buying a Windows laptop and only receiving three years of security updates. (I know, most other phones aren't better.)

It would have been better if they offered slightly longer security updates in exchange of only letting you change the battery. Other things probably won't break anyway before the security updates stop coming in.
Why not a Manchurian Attack?
I'd say generally a refusal to "unlearn":

* Technical skills that you hold onto dearly instead of growing, that once were more valuable than they are today.
Hyatt looks correct based on this game (and also based on the general history of computer chess, and Hyatt generally knowing his stuff on this). A 2000-ish expert puts up much better resistance even against Fischer there. Even a 1500 probably would, but I can believe this engine played some other parts of the game better than 1500s.

When I was in a 'wraps' business (northern US) a few years back, I was visiting an office. I noticed a colorful poster on the wall. Probably printed decades before, it was advertising a minimum-wage rate (~$3.75?) which was half the legal rate (at that time).

Can't help but imagine this tactic is widely-used. Don't imagine that anyone who badly needs the money would ask questions.
