Yeah I never said it was "all" downside.

I never migrated the majority of what I do to "the cloud" and I have multiple devices, laptops etc. in my house. Setting up a new Linux install takes me about 20 minutes. Wouldn't know about Windows. Then again, I probably use way fewer "services" / "apps" than most people. It's funny, I've always been a very tech savvy computer nerd. I've developed software for a living for 25 years. But the older I get and the more the industry changes the less I find I use "modern tech" as a consumer.

I'm also not thinking back to 1995. This all started, in my memory, following the "mobile revolution" at the tail-end of the 00s. That's when more and more software that I use every day stopped selling perpetual licenses and started charging monthly subscriptions. Everything went "mobile first" and "cloud first" and it got more and more persistent as the 2010s went on.

On a positive note, there is some software that used to be inaccessible due to price, like Avid's Pro Tools, that I can now afford thanks to the switch in pricing models.

But even if it took me an entire weekend to set up a new device, I think that I would still prefer that over needing literally everything to have Internet access. It removes the control from me, the user, and places it in the hands of "the corporation." They can change the software without my consent. They can suffer outages (to be fair we can have local hardware failures too but it's under my control which makes a difference). I remember almost returning my PS4 when it required me to connect it to the Internet just to be able to use it on first boot.
My favourite thing about 'dreich' is how often people hearing it for the first time just... get it. The word sounds dreary on its own.
What about drag shows is inappropriate, for what ages, and what intervention would you consider reasonable to prevent the harm of children? Plenty of drag shows are designed to be family-friendly, and generally parents can just not bring their kids to things that they don't think are appropriate for them.

In any case, the way you write about self expression (and the Matt Walsh-level unseriousness of describing drag shows as a mockery to trans women) suggest you're not really looking to find a common ground that would allow non-conformity in public.
Oh man, that shell command is awesome. I could set it up to run some of the services I have to manually do from my phone right now.

How would they sell at all?

Are there any plans to support multi-tenancy? I understand that the current recommendation is to run multiple separate deployments, but will it be supported for a single deployment?
There are a lot of great tools in the space right now, I firmly believe that teams should not just accept what GitHub gives them. After all, we don't use Notepad as our main editor just because it ships with the machine.

I started CodeApprove (https://codeapprove.com) because I saw from the inside how big tech companies (Google, Meta, etc) optimize PR review. Rather than try to automate, replace, or artificially speed up the process, instead they've made great interfaces that allow reviewers and authors to always know whose "turn" it is in a code review and quickly find what they need to address. The goal is to get to resolution (or in other words, consensus) in as few rounds as possible and to make code review painless to the rounds themselves are short. A good tool goes a long way here.

Last year I also wrote a quick survey of other tools which I've seen in the space and think are promising:
https://medium.com/codeapprove/the-best-modern-code-review-t...

That list is already a bit out of date, I can think of some newcomers (Planar, Pullpo) which would also be on the list if I was writing it today.

I've helped a bunch of teams make their code review process better (tools aside) and if you're looking for free advice on how to help your team review better I'm always happy to talk to people about this. Email is in my bio.
I'm curious....are the shortcomings that you encounter the types where elements of your scripts need to differe between Mac, windows, and Linux?

I ask because i really don't like powershell...but am crafting more and more cli apps on linux, and now (sadly) am starting to spend more time across both linux and windows (forced on windows due to work)...so it makese sense to consider a cross-platform shell.

My little cousins first started with an LTE Apple Watch. This allowed them to use iMessage to call/text friends and family, but prevented the use of any web browsing/social media. The downside is Apple Watches only last a few hours on LTE.

They are now ~12 years old and just received their first iPhones. Parental controls/screen time is used to limit their access to social media.

I personally refuse to use TikTok. But I know that is the main App children use today. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to handle that situation. A teenager without access to TikTok today is absolutely going to be mocked by others.
I had a new GPT4 chat in ChatGPT today say material that was very explicitly based in another chat. It isn’t supposed to know about other conversations, right?

Specifically, I had been asking about the difference between knowledge and understanding in another chat. Then I started another chat where I copied and pasted material from an earlier chat about factors of wellbeing. The response didn’t have anything to do with wellbeing, it just explained the difference between understanding and knowledge. So, again, there was nothing about this topic in the current chat, only in an earlier chat.

It was kind of spooky. I thought that each new chat was separate from all prior chats! Clearly it broke out of one particular box.

Yeah Vivaldi is quite a substantial browser in that sense, there's a lot everywhere you look.

It is interesting however that this feature is making its way back around, Vivaldi, Arc, Opera, Edge, are all browsers that added it. Firefox offloaded it to an extension (not maintained by Firefox), and Chrome doesn't officially have it but like Firefox there are extensions around.

I guess the little feature just needed a bit of a rebrand!

Class-action lawsuits are a way to punish some entity, but not provide any meaningful restitution to victims. They just provide a way for law firms to reap the rewards of the victims abuse. The victims are even required to give up their rights to sue in exchange for the $0.05 - $5.

It's really messed up.
> Writing bash is fun the same way as doing cross words are fun. And I say that as someone who enjoys writing bash scripts.

Most of the time people who say they think the Unix shell and tools are difficult haven’t bothered to learn them. But not all the time, and that small minority makes me distinctly uncomfortable, because I simply can’t understand how that can be.

Given you say you’re part of that minority, can you try to explain or demonstrate the problem? Perhaps give me a problem I can try my hand at, if you have one that makes sense out of context? Because while I’ll admit there are plenty of tasks for which I’ve found shell scripting unsuitable, for those it does work on I’ve rarely found it difficult.

(I feel like I also have to point out that “writing bash scripts”, especially writing them to last, is very much not what my original comment was about. What it was about is more like this thing I just typed at the terminal because I couldn’t be bothered to write a script:

curl -fsSL "$URL" | pup -p 'a[href$=".pdf"]' attr{href} |
sed "s,^,$URL," | aria2c -i -

It doesn’t do things Properly™ and wouldn’t work with an arbitrary $URL, but I knew which one I meant, and it was certainly simpler and faster than digging up requests and beautifulsoup and whatnot.)

The regularion required informed consent. Nobody ever said it has to be done with popups. This is what people ended up doing afterwards.

Only when deceptive patterns became clear the EU made clear that allowing one simple "ok" option and a million convoluted ways to say "no" is not resulting in informed consent.

A minor dirty trick in the scheme of political dirty tricks. There are far worst ones and committed by both sides. No doubt about it.
"Being able to confirm Barnes’s account, the Times said, is difficult “after so much time”.

“Barnes has no diaries or memos to corroborate his account"

"Barnes – a Democrat who served as lieutenant governor of Texas and was vice-chair of John Kerry’s 2004 election campaign"

My opinion this is just a ex-post-facto smear campaign by someone with political motive.

If I'm wrong and Barnes is telling the truth and has evidence, then Barnes himself should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting treason.
Considering OpenAI trained on Twitter data among others, I think it'll make for more flavor that users crave, based on the popularity of both of those platforms.
There's also the "exec" keyword that lets you run a command in a "Match" block like so:

Match host my-pc.local exec "wakeonlan -i 192.168.178.255 11:22:33:44:55:66"

This doesn't cover the case when the connecting machine is in another network but it does avoid a hop. Perhaps you could also run another SSH command in the exec condition that connects to the Pi and has it send the WoL packet.
Except in this analogy, we're in the mid-20th century and you're lamenting that a new horseshoe-making AI is going to put mom & pop blacksmiths out of business.

Mediocre art, writing, and music on their own were already completely worthless. Go look on Soundcloud and watch as hundreds of new songs get posted every minute, most of which get 2 or 3 plays; no AI necessary. Even before ChatGPT, if you looked at the latest Medium blogs it would be a steady flow of articles with a handful of views.

Flooding the internet with AI-generated garbage content is going to be virtually indistinguishable from what we have now.
Right, that was my point. The article says that port/starboard is used because left/right is confusing depending on the direction. But unlike ships cars have the driver side right or left so it's not that useful.
And I guess you would have said the same thing about people warning of the dangers of social media in its infancy.
We must have read different articles. What I read amount to special pleading where the author confuses scientific and judicial epistemology, doesn't do a literature review, and comes cross as hopelessly naive.

There are different conventions, yes. Even for the shuttle I've seen +z point in the opposite direction in some documents. I work in systems engineering so I'm less exposed to terms used in operations and more in discussions about which part of the spacecraft things are located.

Actually I work on rovers and it's a perennial debate whether to follow spacecraft convention (+z is down) or automotive convention (+z is up). Then mechanical engineers will usually follow what is intuitive on the screen (+z is forward). This is because computer graphics convention is +z facing out of the screen.
> Life on its own can seem pretty meaningless -- you can try to learn all you want, achieve your wildest dreams, and then we all die and in a few centuries will be utterly forgotten.

Does something only have meaning when it will be remembered for <arbitrary period of time> ?

I don't consider this to describe a meaningless life:

> “To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

It's not paranoid to listen to a guy dehumanize and label LGBTQ people as child abusers every chance he gets, and then wonder what he has in mind when he signs a law lowering the threshold for the death penalty the same week they approve the death penalty for child abusers.

Yeah sure, let's put child rapists to death, who could disagree with that? Until all of a sudden what you do in your private or with your friends or with your family is considered "child abuse". Until your lifestyle is considered "child abuse". Until your existence is considered "child abuse". The way fascists work your religion will be considered "child abuse" eventually. You've heard of the 9 most terrifying words, well the 4 most terrifying words in English are "think of the children!" There's no limit to the atrocities people will commit in the name of God and in the name of protecting children.

Do you ever wonder how a society can go from civil to erecting industrial scale human-death factories. It's little steps like these, and people rationalizing them along the way. We can make our children safe from rape and abuse without putting anyone to death. 0 people have to be put to death to keep children safe. And yet, here we are, the state is making it easier to put human beings to death as a matter of law. There should be no higher red flag raised than that.
I agree with you wholly in reality, but we're not discussing the definition of writers, we're discussing a qualified definition of writers. The qualifier is "economic worth".

We're not disagreeing, you're just talking about something different than the topic of the OP.

I can confirm this for Berlin from personal experience this January.

But as I wrote above, both were late. I.e. 8:15pm and 9pm.
If EU's safety is its problem then why are we not allowed to take an independent stance in any matter? As to the cheap resources, I'm sorry we didn't invade Iraq, Libia, Syria to get oil for pennies. The EU bought at market price from Russia, what's your point? Was US oil cheaper and we said no?

> the process of learning is a dopamine hit

Perhaps reading newspapers produces some dopamine, but I imagine it is tiny in comparison to the effects of smartphones, and does not provide the user with the easy option to keep scrolling for more dopamine.
This is a perplexing attitude that’s common in our field. Somehow the field at large is creating the best teacher, doctor, entertainer, communication tools, and makes it available to everyone for low cost and some think they are less important than the inferior things they replace en masse. In contrast, doctors, for instance, create artificial monopolies and ensure supply is limited and consistently pat themselves on their back.

Perhaps it is because the value created is done by large teams of specialized people who cannot individually attribute the revolution to their work directly. Perhaps it is that the value created is power law distributed and only certain individuals in our field produce the majority of value created thus the rest legitimately believe what you described.
> The author just says "use NaCl" here but what should I do if I am not in a position to do that but can still use ECC?

Not being in a position to use even a single-file C library like Monocypher (well, 2 compilation units if you want the optional parts), is… well, unusual.

> My understanding of ECC is that it is not really suitable for encryption as-is, as RSA was, rather it is used for key agreement (somehow through a multi-step process that I do not understand)

The steps are: once you’ve done key agreement, you have a shared key. You can then use authenticated encryption with that key. One caveat though is that key agreement often don’t give you an actual key, but a statistically biased shared secret. So the actual steps are:

1. Do key agreement. You now have a shared secret.
2. Hash your shared secret. You now have a key.
3. Encrypt your messages with your key. Use AEAD for this.

Caveat: I omitted a number of important details, most notably forward secrecy.

The correct answer in metric is 9.98 Gg (gigagrams).

> we're still measuring disk sizes in half-kibibytes by default

Where do you see that? Marketing and operating systems always measure disk sizes in bytes (or KB, KiB, MB, etc.), not sectors. Only in low-level tools like some hex editors and disk partitioners do I see data measured in sectors.

> the sector sizes have actually been 4/8 KiB for years

512-B sectors for hard drives and flash drives, yes. But I'm too young to recall whether older hard and floppy disks had varying sector sizes. I can say, though, that CD's sector size is either 2048 bytes (data mode), 2324 bytes (XA), or some other value in other modes.
Undercooked has a broader meaning.

A steak can be undercooked but never will be al-dente.

I see this so often. People try to show what GPT can or can’t do without explicitly stating the version. Since not many people have access to GPT-4 it’s usually safe to assume they didn’t use it.

This post discusses a variety of Lisp macro that doesn't merely expand into something else, but actually reaches out to rewrite its surrounding context.

> So people have spent a lot of time thinking about ways to write macros more safely – sometimes at the cost of expressiveness or simplicity – and almost all recent languages use some sort of hygienic macro system that defaults to doing the right thing.

> But as far as I know, no one has approached macro systems from the other direction. No one looked at Common Lisp’s macros and said “What if these macros aren’t dangerous enough? What if we could make them even harder to write correctly, in order to marginally increase their power and expressiveness?”

The first example discussed is a defer macro that can be invoked with "no indentation increase and no extra nested parentheses".

As a macro-lover and an indentation-hater, I think this is a brilliant and hilarious idea.

> It sounds as if it made perfect sense, except to know that it actually completely doesn't you have to spend hours reading the spec first.

This has been my experience as well. As I work on some projects I’ve been asking it basic questions for things I’ve already learned or know quite well. Once you deviate past the basics (content you’d find in common tutorials) the hallucination rate is out of control.

The surreal part is that it all sounds so confident and plausible. The way it puts words together satisfies my “that sounds about right” reflex, but the actual content is incorrect or illogical quite frequently.

If I continue prodding I can get it to come up the right answer many times, but I have to ask it a lot of leading questions to get there.
