I had great success with NetLimiter. Just like Little Snitch, it's a pain to set up, but it's very revealing.

Also makes you wonder why your Logitech App is talking to all these servers and why it needs to have 4 applications running in the background to... do what exactly?
I work on matching at Indeed. Not sure when the last time you used Indeed was, but over the past year or so we've made huge strides in our match quality. And we've recently began experimenting with alternative revenue models in order to better align with candidate and employer interests. We honestly do want to provide high quality matches and help people get jobs. Spamming employers with irrelevant candidates is not a very sustainable business model and helps nobody.
Yea this sounded scary to me at first but now that I think about it does not seem all that bad.

If you were dirt rich it is probably a great time to be in the skyscraper buying market
It's most definitely a chore for the first week. Then it disappears from sight until it finds something unusual.
Most of the complaints I've seen are about the number of args and the complexity of calling it vs something simple like fork. There are a lot of knobs to turn which you need to be explicit about. That's not even getting into the whole ProcThreadAttributeList and the myriad of options it exposes.

In saying all that I do prefer the `CreateProcess*` APIs on Windows vs the POSIX ones but that might be because I understand the former better.
> That's unreasonable to be polite.

It is not. It's the defacto stance of most people (to be upset at multiple groups), regardless of the specific reasoning. Everyone I've ever talked to (40+ years), has a lifetime of people they passionately disagree with. This isn't just democracy, it's humanity.
It's not as bad as the vine says, but one thing that drives me crazy, is widgets.exe seems to get a new hash /often/ and I constantly get prompts for it.

It's all the installers that phone home at some point, and video drivers needing access etc. (Wireless displays come at a cost I guess).
> What if all similar jobs were automated?

Hopefully, we would reach a Star Trek-like utopia where people aren't required to work in order to live.

More realistically, the middle class just disappears, and we have nothing but the super-rich and the destitute left.
I am probably too far gone to be taken seriously, but my startup got acquired and we had to switch from Google to Microsoft and I actually kind of like the Microsoft stuff. It has dark mode! If you're going to be Last Name, First Name at an 80k employee company, at least your calendar can be visually pleasant to look at.
> This doesn't address the issue of whether teaching the way schools teach is actually not very effective.

Learning to see through bullshit, and play along enough to get by has been a valuable skill in my life.
> When Coinbase files for bankruptcy, crypto deposits will be at the back of the line. They are unsecured creditors.

I'm aware. This has nothing to do with your point about "stealing" deposits like other exchanges (e.g. FTX), and is irrelevant to stock-based compensation. It contributes nothing to the discussion. More noise to encourage others to feel safe that their bias is well liked.

> Coinbase executives will have enjoyed years of massive pay days selling stock

More irrelevant and false points. The company has only been public since April 2021. Not even two years. You are attempting to frame them as fat cat wall street types purposefully driving the company into the ground at customers' expense.

Somehow you extrapolate this to "all exchanges" when Coinbase is the only publicly-traded exchange.

remember that Coinbase was audited by the SEC before going public, and is one of the oldest exchanges. If any exchange is safe, it's Coinbase. The problem is the SEC doesn't give clear direction.

Anybody that feels the SEC will "protect" them by forcing coinbase into bankruptcy is welcome to move their assets on-chain. Many people advocate for that.

Again, I'm highlighting how lazy and absurd your argument is.
This does not reflect the reality of business bank accounts in Canada.

When you have treasury access you can wire as much money as you want practically instantly just like with SVB. I bank with one of the big 5.

Nothing is stopping you from going into your bank and wiring money away it's just cash that they don't want to give out without multi-day delays.
Fwiw, I switched from gmail two years ago and it was relatively painless. It took a couple hours and there were a handful of websites that didn’t allow changing emails (as usernames) but otherwise it was fine. And worth it to no longer get spam.
"Metaphors, similes, and analogies.." all of which are seductive and cause us to think we know more than we really do.
Which bit, the APIs or the implementation?
I think I saw that Little Snitch itself doesn't show all its own connections as far as I know

EDIT: Source was old posts on alt.hackintosh saying that you have to block one specific IP to prevent the call home and another one regarding LS4 saying that you have to nullroute some some Hetzner hosts.

My guess was that if you had to add some hosts to prevent LS to check its own license online, that it means that LS has its own way to go around the firewall rules.

EDIT2: Genuinely no idea, I guess we have to ask someone who uses a cracked version
Right. The skillset to pull the right drive from the server and put replacement one.

Says that you know nothing at all about actually running hardware as the bigger problem is by far "the DC might be drive 1-5 hour away" or "we have no spare parts at hand", not "fiddling with server is super hard"
What this indicates to me is that most websites are in a constant state of breaking and needing maintenance, such that no company wants to have even a small distraction / obligation / annoyance of keeping a site up. Has the feel of like, you inherit a free building that's constantly falling apart, might as well get rid of it, no matter how many people find it useful.

Is that the reality of owning a website?
I bet you can think of some irrational things you've done in the last few years. I'd be curious what they might be.

Let's see, for me... Well any time I got games in a steam sale recently, my backlog is huge and I don't have time anyway. Any time I spend on Twitter, I know I don't enjoy how I feel after. Plenty of times I had irrational excuses for why I didn't have to go to the gym on a given day. Made a batch of really good ice cream despite trying to lose weight. Etc.

When I was younger I made some irrational decisions in stocks, now I don't anymore, I think if you get burned enough maybe that's what it takes? I too often wonder why people seem to need to "learn the hard way." For me, if a friend gets in a car accident, I listen to how it happened and make sure to never repeat their mistake, triple for motorcycling. But maybe its domain specific in that regard? Some people are good at being more rational in some areas rather than others?
justin sun has a rather bad reputation in the crypto industry. He was able to sustain his token during all that time, however.
Coin flip.
Yeah, sorry I kind of snapshotted the last one and thought you were taking issue with the short-circuiting rather than merely describing it.
My biased suggestion and would benefit from your C++ understanding is the Nix community (https://github.com/NixOS/nix).

More frankly, “best” is very subjective and you should find a passion or topic or task you are already interested and use that to guide your decision.
Yeah, I agree with this. Last big trip I did, I brought my heavy full frame camera but still took a few hundred photos with my smartphone.

The iPhone photos (about 1 year old iPhone Pro) look fine, and are a great documentation of a lot of the interesting things I saw but which I didn't care to take pictures with the SLR (interesting things out the train window, shops and restaurants I went to, random things on the street, etc.). The SLR pictures are just something else though, and I had the eight or so best of them printed in large format to hang on the wall after I processed them, and I also show them to people on my iPad.

I guess the phone photos are all most people care to take, and that's fine. But I wouldn't just take a phone because I do want to actually make that art, and it really does make an incredible difference. I showed somebody some of the processed DLSR photos on the iPad and they were confused, thinking they were just iPhone photos I'd taken, saying "Why are these, like, good?". There's just something about a real lens and a full frame sensor that even non-photographers can immediately spot.
More to your core point, you only make money investing if someone is building. Talking to S&P 500 goes up because those companies are building something and the stockholders get a piece of profit when the things that are built sold. If no one builds and no one buys, stocks are worthless and are not an investment.
> more malleable and eager to prove themselves.

That's just a polite way of saying "willing to work for less" which again means either somebody's asking for too much or someone's being exploited, which is the real issue.

Obviously its mere anecdote, but every company I have ever worked for has gladly hired middle aged entry level employees. If anything they have been preferred.
If I was Netflix I would de-cloud, but if I was a small team like 37signals then de-clouding is just insanity. I think DHH is either very stupid or extremely naive in his cost calculations or probably a mix of both. Hey and Basecamp customers will see many issues in the next few years and hackers will feast off their on-premise infrastructure.
systemd is not bash. Otherwise indeed true.
I've always thought this should be a feature in an OS for advanced users. Combined with some OS level security optimizations it could be quite a powerful security feature for the paranoid and at-risk.

I haven't tried mini but there's probably plenty of UX gains in between the standard Little Snitch fine control approach and the UBlock Origin style community curated defaults where control/customization is optional/on-demand.
Jumping the Licensing Shark
Price seems fair, honestly. The full blown app is like $70, plus upgrades when those come.
Many folks are justifying this decision on the basis that Amazon might lose some amount of money keeping the site up so of course they are shutting it down. That take isn't wrong, but man it's depressing. The lack of common goods in the digital world bums me out, especially since that world keeps occupying more and more of people's time.

In the physical world there are countless spaces that exist as an open ended resource that people can use in a myriad of ways to enhance their lives and community. Things like city parks, libraries, national parks, blm land, lakes, etc. Places that will likely exist for decades or centuries. But there is almost none of that online. Most things are run by profit maximizing corporations that only look at the world through that one lens.

I don't think it _has_ to be this way, but unfortunately the current culture is too ok with it for much to change in the foreseeable future.
All it shows is that they both have similar member lists. Which is a given considering how extremely niche the topic of “internet archival” is.

How does that actually link the two organizations?

By your extremely broad definition, every organization in the world is “linked” to every other by the fact that they all are Earth based. That’s technically correct I guess, but not even remotely helpful in actually establishing a connection between two organizations.
>> While there is a value split traditionally nobody has some weird legal positivist view of the law where we can only take things super literally.

No? I thought that was one of the primary legal divisions within the Supreme Court? The textualists vs the "living constitution" people?

>> I promise you no Google lawyer instructed their CEO to tell someone to move to off the record chat while under a hold

I promise you they did, because that feature was added specifically due to complaints by lawyers about chats being retained! And as you say, try talking to a lawyer over email and you'll get one answer: "let's take this to a phone call". Lawyers love moving conversations to non-recorded media.
"We just don't care enough. The amount of apathy the average person in a developed country has for the rest of their fellow man is astounding if you stop and think about it for a bit."

I wasn't going for that angle. I wasn't talking about the labor part. I accept that labor competes internationally. I have no moral right to a higher pay for the same work.

That's not the issue. The issue is that it shouldn't be possible to ship an oak tree across the entire planet for practically nothing. The true cost is not nothing, it has to be enormous. The "natural" pricing is heavily distorted by subsidies, trade deals, lack of taxation, dismissing all externalities, state sponsorship, the like.

None of this has anything to do with fair competition based on labor. It's a rigged game.
It's remarkably difficult to compare the two with how they describe them in totally different ways.

It really makes my wish they had one of those side-by-side charts that tells you which features are in what.
You're assuming complete connectivity; no one builds networks of nontrivial size that way.
Those k8s license fees will get ya.
You’re right, thanks for the correction!

Yeah that one doesn't count, they've made exactly zero changes since acquisition and Actions still has downtime every few weeks.
I hate it too. It allows people to engage in borderline fraud knowing that if they get caught they pay a fine and keep some of the ill-gotten gains anyway. Like a get out of jail free card. Worst comes to worse, you settle and admit no wrongdoing and pay fine. Best case scenario, you avoid the dragnet and nothing happen, so you keep scamming. Either way, you avoid jail.
Related: I've been seeing a ton of news/references to LangChain recently. My own team is working closely with LLMs, and my non-technical cofounder is pushing hard for us to adopt LangChain as one of our core tools. So I spent a couple days diving into the LangChain codebase and I just don't understand why I would use LangChain. It feels to me like almost all of the LangChain codebase is dedicated to solving non-complex problems or interfacing with dozens on dozens of third-party APIs.

All that said, the LangChain team looks solid, they've definitely been shipping code fast, tons of people have committed to the ecosystem, they raised a bunch of money, and I'm a huge believer in just going with standards.

Has anyone here worked through this same dilemma, or a similar one, and could maybe help me with how I should be thinking about it?
Facebook is issuing DMCA takedowns against LLaMA projects
> I concluded long ago that if I made studying the market my full time job and hobby I could make a good income doing it

I'd be curious how you reached this conclusion. The outside view (lots of academic papers on this) is that nobody beats the market over a long time frame. I've often thought this assumes scale-invariance; as I look to make lower volumes of money, I'll see things that aren't worth a real trader's time. Another way I can see this as true is if you don't need to have the money invested all the time - if you strategically pick 1 investment every 5 years, can I expect to beat the market by picking the absolute best trade?

Despite those ideas, I concluded long ago that nobody can beat the market over time, with maybe 1-2 exceptions.
>a small regional bank

They were in the top 20 biggest banks in the USA. "regional" is a term of art more than used in the conventional way. I think that most people who hear "regional bank" think of one with only a few branches and a relatively small amount of assets (compared to global behemoths). SVB was very much a world-class player in terms of both general sophistication and AUM.
Remote works for some people, for most it probably doesn't work. There is a reason why everyone doesn't have six pack abs - the same reason why people are, in general, more 'productive' when they have people in their immediate vicinity to hold them accountable.

Instead of having the possibility of playing videogames at home, while being online on Slack.

It's kinda common sense - humans have a limited amount of willpower they can expend daily, and it generally takes a lot of willpower to not slack off - especially if your job is boring as hell. Dev work isn't very boring, because it's kind of like art - but you better believe a lot of 'remote' work is mind-numbingly boring.
> The trees and the people/machines are right next to each other. And still we can't make the economics work. That's because the economics are a scam. Trade deals, subsidized shipping, state sponsorship from China. You can't compete on wages when everything is asymmetrical.

That's not the primary problem. The primary problem is "customer service" and that means that there is NO middle market in anything.

There is cheap, high-volume crap optimized to the penny with no customer service and there is fully-custom, super expensive high end stuff with great customer service.

Fixing any complaint or fault is expensive if you're not in the high-volume camp. If you're in the high-volume camp you simply say "We'll comp you a new one" and you're done.

If you're in the low-volume camp, to fix things, you're rolling a human to make sure something is broken and worth fixing. With furniture, maybe you have to roll shipping. Then you have to do the fix. And then you have to roll it back. At the end, that's probably $500+ for furniture. If it's really bad, you're sending a whole new thing ($2K+). Did you make enough profit on your other sales to compensate for that?

This "missing middle" due to customer service is the bane of everything right now. It even infests high tech stuff like test instruments. There are $1K or less things with no customer service or $100K things with great customer service and excellent quality. However, the $5K-$10K things get squashed.
Is this the end of all designer jobs?
> Moreover, this trillion has a higher propensity to spend than most of the investor wealth that gets destroyed—so there will be proportionately macroeconomic effects. Deflationary effects. This money that people thought they had, was not money, and now cannot be spent. Sad!

Nice, maybe this should be tried to deal with inflation instead of rising interest rates.
Also, the reasons mentioned in this thread of execs trying to re-establish previous power hierarchies pre-COVID.
Depends on the culture, not all are equal.
The results are pretty impressive. I wonder if the general idea can be applied with a bit more data than the roughly 21 bytes in this version. I know it's not a format that lends itself to be configurable. I'd be fine with placeholders that are say around 100-200 bytes. Many times that seems enough to actually let the brain roughly know what the image will contain.
How we Release Dagger
Completely agree. Occasionally I run Charles Proxy[1] on my iPhone to analyze network activity and am disturbed by what I see. Software shouldn't be able to open arbitrary network connections without user consent/control, but we're not there yet to a large enough degree on mobile unfortunately.

I gotta say from dev perspective it is very convenient solution. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that runs anything less complex than "a few services in a database". The tens of minutes you save in writing deploy scrips will be replaced by hours of figuring out how to do it k8s way.

From ops perspective let's say I ran it from scratch (as in "writing systemd units to run k8s daemons and setting up CA to feed them", because back then there was not that much reliable automation around deploying it) and the complexity tax is insane. Yeah you can install some automation doing that but if it ever breaks (and I've seen some breaking) good fucking luck, non-veteran will have better chance with reinstalling it from scratch.

I personally believe that people are more productive in person together, but there are some important caveats:
a. the commute must be quick and pain free
b. you must enjoy the people you work with
c. you must have work that is inherently collaborative, or at least partially collaborative. If it's not fully collaborative, you should work remotely part of the time.
d. perks, like an office gym, free lunch, are bonuses that the company can give to help you offset the time/expense of commutes. Free parking is a must.

If you don't have these things... the argument for working in person is low. You should either work somewhere else, or work remotely and save $$$ and time.
Yes, that should be obvious. I can't imagine what the parent was thinking.
Thank you for taking the time to write this article. I was disturbed about the shutdown of Darksky because I really loved the features of that app and reading your article took me on a nice walk down memory lane. Raising the discussion here has been not only been cathartic in that I now know I have a lot of company for my thoughts, but has also provided some alternatives to try to recapture the experience. I'm not a big fan of Apple Weather and at least now I have some options to explore.
