Have you ever tried to convince someone to not buy second hand Windows 10 keys?

Your argument relies upon other people acting in the way you describe. As opposed to the way I've seen them act for the last 20 years.

EDIT: Scalpers exist because they're the only ones who can sell seats after a show has been sold out. 2nd hand Windows 10 keys exist because when a Corporation buys 1000+ licenses but only uses 500 of them, they wanna recoup the costs by selling 500+ of those keys onto the 2nd hand market (even for a loss).

You can't beat economics with just saying "encryption" or "safety". Encryption/safety just changes the economics, and the price will adjust as appropriate. Fundamentally, scalpers (or at lest, more expensive tickets that are sold "after" a sellout is announced) is just an economic reality.
Hum... You are aware that those are one where the attacker gains execution capabilities inside the sandbox and one hardware vulnerability that affects every single language, right?
If one posts a section in their web page stating:

WARNING

This PNG image <link> is an example of a compressed image file that might expand to a huge size upon decompression. PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT. We are not responsible for consequences if you do not follow this instruction.

and someone does that anyways, they are to blame, aren't they?

Especially downloaders who claim they are entitled to download it and hosters must use their proprietary opt-out scheme (like the ones on the original linked article) should also learn that they should follow the hoster's instruction and NOT download the zip bomb.

(And the hoster also lists that specific file in robots.txt)
I would encourage most people to learn to drive a motor car, and get a driver's licence. I wouldn't tell them that it's perfectly safe, because well, it isn't. It can be made _safer_ but won't be risk-free. Nevertheless, "don't try it" is not a good conclusion to draw from the existence of that risk.

Similarly, the thinking that LSD or other recreational pharmaceutical must be either entirely bad or entirely safe, the "bad outcome does not actually happen" or "it only takes one time" is binary, black or white, absolutist thinking. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

And I think that most participants know that it's an "extreme sport" a "daredevil thrill" like skydiving or a roller-coaster. A roller-coaster that never gains velocity or height would be pointless and boring.
Last night I was typing on Google: "How do I get (rid of wax from pots and pans)" and the top auto-suggestion at that point was "How do I get rid of my ai on snapchat"

Among all the other reasons stated, like independence from platform registers, stack-based VMs are really easy to implement -- you don't need to worry about register allocation in your VM code generator, you can leave that bit to the stage of the VM that generates native code which would need register allocation, even on a register-based VM.
Sorry, but I'm calling you out. Minecraft accounts were created before multiplayer was even a feature. Accounts were originally for saving levels.

This is an archive of the page for the second version of the game that had multiplayer. "You need to log in to join multiplayer games."

https://web.archive.org/web/20090612021333/http://www.minecr...

It was free to play the game before indev, which was before infdev, which was before the alpha. This older version of the game remained on the site as a demo, but it still required you to sign in for multiplayer.

Aaronsw definitely not IMO.

I think otherwise simply because that's what the data says.

I was talking to a con artist once who took the point even further. He said smart people are actually easier to con for a few reasons.

The smarter a person is, the better they are at working out a chain of reasoning that can "prove" the con isn't a con. Since a con is appealing to human emotion, not logic, you can make a smart person want to believe the con so much that they'll work out the "proof" that it's legit all by themselves.
> computers will be replaced with appliances that can only run government-sanctioned, closed-source software

this is lacking imagination

Most items around us will be smart withing 10 years.

There are coffe machines that stop working without internet, dishwashers and washing machines that have wifi. You cant buy a TV and a Car without internet connectivity. Mac OS won't run an executable withour connecting to an apple server.

All of them phone home.

The government just needs to tap into the datastores assembled by these companies. Datastores in centralised datacenters, which are large regulated installations.

They don't need to do any extra work. The police doesnt need to raid every house.
I hope so because it might finally allow me to run Qubes OS as a vm to check it out.

The name "imaginary" was due to Descartes and it absolutely was intended as a pejorative, even though they're necessary to algebraically close the reals. Some ancient Greeks, IIRC, were similarly hostile to negative numbers. Of course the "real" numbers have never been controversial despite the whole concept being a lot weirder (and uncomputable), probably because their informal aspects just so happen to line up with everyday intuition.

I don't know how much commercial value his projects may have, but I really think they could be used in education. It very is rare for students (even in developed countries I think) to be able to develop and test their own chips.

I don't agree here, maybe your service or newsletter is absolutely great for me as potential customer, but I close pages with newsletter popups instantly. Not because I'm annoyed, but to make a point. I guess a lot of services might have me lost because of this. You block yourself of getting even data from a user who's just a little privacy concerned.
Ingres was probably the first relational database management system, taking its design cues straight from Codd's own Alpha. System R is where SQL was born and SQL is non-relational.

It's insane how entitled tech companies are. They see perfectly normal and useful for the consumer standardization as oppression.
To human ears, the problem of 3 hens, 3 eggs, 3 days is a simplified and more obvious problem than the original:

"If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half ..."

But it's the same problem in the same form, and GPT4 nails it without extra goofy prompting like "don't replicate human cognitive biases".

A more interesting question would cross logic with problem solving.

"If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many hens are needed to fill Yankee Stadium with eggs in a year?"

But GPT4 doesn't have very good intuition on how to estimate the volume of Yankee Stadium:

Yankee Stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 50,000 spectators.

Let's assume each spectator occupies a space of 2 cubic meters (which is a generous estimate, including seating and legroom).

Total volume (approx.) = 50,000 seats × 2 m³/seat = 100,000 m³

Agreed. Both wife and I need our phones for work connectivity, and it's a lot easier just to carry our old models in case one of ours dies on a trip. I'm not going to buy an iPhone while on a trip out of the country - they won't even have the models that support Verizon in most markets.

My old phone is still logged in to Apple, still works, still holds a charge. I'd like some eSIM system that was as convenient as "phone dies, pull SIM, put in old phone, boot".

In spite of that scoop, they are speculating that Carlson is too much of a legal liability in other pending suits.

That makes a lot of sense. Tucker's liability risk is basically a know fact with all the public information out there. I think this is the Occam's Razor explanation.
I think the world of homebrow eInk devices is set to take off.

The problem right now is that while the screens have come down in price considerably, the driver hardware remains expensive and proprietary. If you want to build something for cheap, you'll be designing the PCB from scratch (as this author did).

Enter EPDIY, which brings wide support to a variety of screens using commodity hardware. It's still under development, but it's looking really promising: https://github.com/vroland/epdiy
I think the difference is criminal law seeks compliance with the laws as they are, but this manufacturing of consent seeks compliance on bills when the elecorate may well note vote in their favour otherwise. Does that make sense? In one case they do what the public has told them and in the other they're telling the public what to do. As public servants the first should be acceptable but the latter now.

There comes a point where reasoning about rights by analogy loses its bite... imo.

Digital rights, digital ownership, digital business models, privacy, security, speech, digital policing... they're all very different from their analog analogs.

The differences between A & B are less pronounced in the digital realm.

Police hacking into devices has more in common, practically and culturally, with signals intelligence than it does with ordinary policing.

I don't disagree with you. I just don't agree that "it's very simple." We need to invent or adopt novel concepts, not insist that nothing has changed.
I can also vouch for Gadgetbridge being a great option.

There have been many fast charging standards that are available on way cheaper chargers that apple just ignored. It's not that big a deal, but it did force apple consumers to buy expensive "official" chargers to actually charger quickly.

I thought I made it clear in my last comment that I'm not claiming that Java's memory management is somehow "better" than Rust's. I was merely pointing out that even Rust has a GC, and it's not a good one, but it might certainly be good enough for Rust's needs as it doesn't depend on it. Overall, obviously Rust and Java choose very different tradeoffs in their memory management strategy.

> ZGC is capable of allocation rates of the order of only ~5 GB/s

That was the non-generational ZGC. Indeed, ZGC's max throughput was well below that of ParallelGC and G1. One of the main goals of generational ZGC is to increase the throughput, and as you can see in the video, they got a 4x increase in throughput.

I liked how the Netflix series The Crown depicted Queen Elizabeth II as having God's ear, as a last line of defense against corrupt politicians. The prime minister has to run everything past the king/queen, which hopefully keeps the system honest, or at least in line with tradition.

There's nothing like that in the US, by design, due to our constitutional separation of church and state. The words "In God We Trust" were added to our currency in 1864, and "under God" were added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954.

Although I think we'd benefit from having an ELI5 branch to provide a final sniff test by voters for all controversial legislation. There's only a 10% correlation between what the public wants and what congress passes, because we never managed to separate freedom of speech from freedom of money to buy speech. So the wealthy have a disproportionate say in our political discourse, that's why they push stuff like corporate personhood to maintain power. Which goes all the way back to the formation of the country as a democratic "republic" to hand off unethical decisions around slavery, sexism and colonization to a semi-elected ruling class that maintains the status quo, much like we hand off minor sins like killing animals for meat consumption to butchers. In other words, the US effectively has a lobbyist branch which worships money, instead of a religious branch.

Of course the same argument could be used in reverse to say that all religious involvement in government is about the final control of money and power.
Fair enough

I'll also ask that you consider the possibility that you haven't experienced overcoming this limit yet. After all, what do we need to learn about our work that can't be represented as text

Or that this limit might be qualitatively different for different people, and that some people are better at online text-only relationships than face-to-face ones. Our teams may have faced limits in real life that only got solved by going remote. (For example, I do believe that when we were in person, we wrote lower quality software, less well-tested, with less communication and collaboration, at a much slower pace, than we do now (you can imagine why - likely we used to rely on informal processes more than we thought or wanted to))

I did mention that I've seen other teams (anecdotally, on less technical areas of the product) face problems with being fully remote- but that was usually fixed with staffing... or a remote leader inheriting the team... We've had many people in our org exclusively remote for the last 20 years as well - these people became the remote leaders on our teams and led by example. It all depends on the remote fit.
My favourite game of the last 10 years was Ori, but every time I have a free afternoon to kill I have to start again. Because I forget everything in the half year I was absent and that game builds the skill you need to play the game... I'm at loss every time I sit down.

So my current favourite games are 2-4 hour long that tells a good story. Eg Journey, tale of two brothers, slay the princess, Stanley's parable...

I assume people who are sufficiently self-centered that they've convinced themselves that this is fine because it obviously is if you can get away with it are incredibly selfish and not nearly as clever as they think they are in many other ways as well.

I used Xen a lot in late 2000s, when it was a great alternative to spinning up more physical machines. Had a lot of fun with the office servers, running all disks with RAID some-number-or-other on a machine with an NBD[0] server on gigabit Ethernet, and then a couple of physical machines hosting all the XEN machines.

XEN felt fast and, though not exactly easy to setup, fairly straight-forward.

With JSON, few typos go undetected, and an (undetected) local typo causes a local error in the data. With EDN, many typos go undetected, and a local typo can cause non-local errors.

I think the difference is that in those situations the people had no say in what was and wasn't acceptable and some of the things we take for granted as basic freedoms may have been outlawed and targeted. This is why you can feel comfortable with it but they could not: there's not a huge disparity between what you want to do or say and what you're allowed to do or say, and you feel the punishment for doing or saying as you shouldn't is acceptable.

It could, but it is quite unlikely to happen. More plausible is a NEMP, in which an adversarial foreign state uses a nuclear explosion in the upper layers of the atmosphere to create a similar effect. A good fiction book in this regard is "One Second After" by William R. Forstchen.

All governments of note have taken some precautionary measures; hardening critical machinery/infrastructure, but you can't plausibly do that for every bit of hardware in your country. Imagine the effect of seeing most cars dead on the street because the EMP took them out. Imagine not being able to call home, or having refrigerated foods.

Would it not be better if promotions were made on the basis of skill and accomplishments instead of looks/talks like/kisses the ass of the boss? You’re essentially defending an arcane social hierarchy where you have to sycophantically jockey for your position. If remote work demolishes even a small part of that, all the better.

But I also got a promotion last year that nearly doubled my pay by just logging on and delivering, so I admit to being a little biased.
"We software engineers take the existence of nonacademic, noncorporate conferences for granted."

We do? I am only vaguely aware that such things exist. I've been to a few trade shows over the years, but only when my employer pays for them. I had hoped this article might answer the question posed in its title, but after getting halfway through, it still seems to be taking the answer as much for granted as the conferences, so I think I'll move on.
