This was a good article. Slightly related, because it was linked in the article, I am interested in the Cert Spotter service, but the lack of disclosure of pricing is an immediate deal breaker for me. It's odd, they're upfront about their pricing for their other services; for Cert Spotter, it seems to be hidden behind a 30-day trial. I'm not going to try something I have no idea what the long term costs will look like.

That sounds like an argument that someone with an unusual amount of wealth and power might make to downplay the unusual amount of responsibility that wealth and power confers on them.

In today's economy power and wealth are not even close to evenly distributed.

Claiming that responsibility should be evenly distributed is therefore a highly disingenuous argument.

For me it's two things:

1. You have to use their login service to log into a server that's... self-hosted.

2. The Plex app has very limited codec support, at least on iOS. In particular, I rip directly from disc and Plex would require transcoding for UHDs, or Blu-rays with TrueHD/DTS/etc. audio. Infuse has support for all of that out of the box so my Jellyfin server doesn't do any transcoding at all, and AppleTV/iPad/etc. are more than capable of decoding even full bitrate UHD content.
Some of them come from there, a few of them even exclusively composed for this or that cracking group to use in their key generators, but the vast majority of them were just taken from prior intros (demos) and crack intros from a time before software began commonly using calculable serial keys. The history is not the least unknown to me, as I grew up in both the demo scene and the "elite/piracy" scene of the Commodore 64 and the Commodore Amiga - where all of this began.
> I’m already rich so I try to remain emotionally detached, but when the state drives what should be built

This is simply ahistorical, every developed country got there with the help of the state.

Did the interstate highway system get built by venture capital? Did the power grid?

Western governments are no longer capable of these kind of major projects.

London is running out of water.

United Kingdom has huge canals connecting manchester, London, and Birmingham. They were dug without industrial machinery. With shovels.

When I propose to English people that there is plenty of water in scotland and maybe they should expand canals network and repurpose it to redistribute water, they think its madness. Some kind of unachievable, socialist plan.

China has built a canal network to redistrubute water. That why they will be earing our lunch - actually its their own lunch. We arent making lunch, we are wondering why market didn’t bring us lunch.
I remember when he first took over and he was all like: “I’m gonna listen to the community and do and AMA often”.

Beginning of this year they told devs: we’re not gonna mess with the API situation anytime soon. And then they did, but he: it makes sense and I’m sure the pricing will be reasonable.

Then the last three months happened. I’ve rarely seen goodwill burned so quickly.
The point is that (in the US) no one outside of New York City and maybe Chicago has any ability to really experience this kind of hierarchy. Even in those cities, it's still not prioritizing pedestrians and bicyclists, it's just increased the relevance of public transport due to the inherent density making driving and parking a pain.

Mid sized cities (or larger cities built up after the 50's) just aren't designed to support this kind of lifestyle, and would require laws to change around zoning/parking/etc.
I'll confess I still don't understand. Like the distinction between guineas and pounds and who you pay with each... Why!?!

Did this complicated accounting lead to systematic under or overpayment in particular situations? Merchants in the US pricing at $N.99 apparently fools a lot of people into misjudging the price. Were there breakpoints in this system that prices clustered around because of unexpected cognitive biases?
>FWIW, I think everyone should stop worrying about nuclear war. The US would win hands down and everyone knows it.

Shouldn't it fit in a padded envelope?

I'm surprised shipping is an issue.
I agree. I don’t mind something being more expensive, but I feel like companies should have to ‘show their work’ to some degree. That way customers can gauge if the additional effort was worth the price difference.

I’m sure most customers in this case would not feel like this was worth the price difference.
This has to be the highest amount of jokes and easter eggs per LoC.

We could clearly see all the canals on Mars, and so we promptly concluded that it was just like Venice.
Yeah I run Jellyfin+Infuse at home. The biggest selling point for me is that Infuse has "all the codecs" and I can just throw anything, including full bitrate UHD content at the devices and the server doesn't need to do any transcoding.
And I don’t care what kind of useless endeavours that rich people want to pursue as long as they’re not forcing others to pay for it.

There is virtually no connection between math and philosophy. If you decompose a “mathematical philosophy” textbook into its mathematical and philosophical components you will quickly see which part is wasting paper.
Great tech no doubt, but it's funny that they tout a $1 attachment to a $500+ smartphone as being more accessible to low income people than a $20 standalone blood pressure monitor.
A person who is more concerned about the source or origin of potential evidence rather than weighing the merits on the content itself isn't engaging in a good faith discussion.
Well, for starters I don’t want to live in a world with better lawyers, and secondly, by “actual engineers” do you mean civil engineers? In the US anyway, most engineers are not licensed excepting some civil engineers.
I thought htmx is just a library, does it need support by the browser?

You're more generous that I: We could uncharitably describe some of the trad-caths' absolutist views (such as those on validity) as sheer fantasy, a house of cards lacking even a pretense of intellectual rigor and based on, how shall I put this, questionable reporting of events from 2,000 years ago [0] [1]. The fact that trad-caths hold so fiercely to such views lends support to what one might call a Hitchensian view of religion [2]; in that regard, the trad-caths are more like ultra-Orthodox Jews and radical Islamists than they are different.

Dogma and Habit
I imagine it's neither. It is the psychological aspect of the violation. Just as why many women dread vaginal exams, or even having their breasts examined. Necessary but clearly undesirable. I think it may actually be more violative for the average gay man compared to the average straight man, since it's probably more closely tied up with his concept of intimacy.
That’s an interesting alternative history but not really connected to our world.

There were 3D movies before Cameron was born. It’s been an ongoing cycle in movies, largely driven by the fact that the experience can be better, but it can also be neutral or worse, and the core of the art form is storytelling.

Cameron showed how to use 3D to support storytelling rather than distract, but these was no conspiracy to “recoup investments” — there were just imitators who didn’t put the work in to get it right, and manufacturers who were selling shovels and expected a gold rush that never appeared.

Our economy, and trends in the movie business are not centrally planned the way you imagine. Nobody says “AMC invested in 3D projection, so MGM should invest in 3D production, so this film that’s in development should be shot in 3D”. It doesn’t work that way.

Incidents are part of the Software’s lifecycle.

You won’t be able to fully avoid them, but when they happen there must be a good process in place.

The process should include:
- reporting and resolving the incident,
- writing detailed documentation and
- conducting a retrospective.

The latter is particularly important so the whole team understands the issues that have occurred and collectively find solutions to avoid them in the future.
Javascript was released about 6 months before unicode 2.0, and furthermore was in various ways designed to be close to Java, whose strings are sequences of 16 bits code units. Because this is part of the string interface it’s not really fixable.

Not only that but while Unicode 2.0 was released in June 1996, it wasn’t necessarily super sought after for a while, lots of people were wary of utf8 and while 16 bit code units was fine 32 was a bit much.

While it was singularly late to the party, it took MySQL until 2010 to support non-BMP content, unless you were willing to store content as blobs.

Java and Javascript similarly took a while just to give access to actual codepoints, in Java5 (2004, String#codePointAt, it took until Java 8 for an iterator to be added with CharSequence#codePoints) and ES6 (2015, String.prototype.codePointAt and String.prototype[@@iterator])

Cert Spotter pricing is listed on https://sslmate.com/pricing/certspotter

If we could be more clear about it, please let me know. I know that "enterprise" pricing isn't listed, but that option is for customers who want to negotiate custom terms in the contract or want other special arrangements. Obviously, it's impossible to give a price until we know what they want. For customers who just want an off-the-shelf plan, our intention is to be clear with pricing.

>a full 3D environment wouldn’t allow for traditional cinema direction to happen.

I spent a few years in the early days of the VR rebirth doing live action VR. The issue you mentioned was one of the biggest problems for me. When the camera is locked down in a stationary position, the issue is not as noticeable. You can look where ever when ever you want. Just because the other people are talking to you does not mean you have to look at them.

However, no modern director wants a locked off shot, and wants the camera to move to add _________ to the shot. You've now removed that choice in the environment for the user. If the user is looking in a different direction when the camera starts moving, it is very unsettling. The user is no longer in control of this environment that is meant to give the user control.
I've been using Jellyfin for the past few years, migrating from a frankly janky setup involving samba and VLC clients. I've been very pleased with the experience for the most part, and it's become the most used application that I self host for my immediate family. Annoyingly, the lack of a PlayStation client (which seems to be Sony's fault rather than the devs) is the main reason I still use Roku.
>but it feels like they've given this some thought and decided to not go with that based on some sort of rationale

Was it the same rationale they used to ship the broken butterfly keyboard for 4 years straight, or for the uncomfortable bottom charging mouse that even hardcore Apple fans don't use?

It's always funny to see people making excuses for the poor decisions of their favorite corporation as if Apple can do no wrong and it isn't capable of making stupid decisions just like any other big corporation subject to the same internal turf wars and power struggles.

In case my previous comment was misunderstood, I meant that: I have not seen any cases where Twitter was forced to do anything. Every case I'm aware of, someone provided a tweet/account and twitter employees made the decision themselves (sometimes agreeing, sometimes pushing back).
As I stated in my original comment, the econometrics component of economics is rigorous and objective. The conclusions drawn by economists is not. I have equally little respect for the humanities component of economics. Like with anthropologists, economists are unfortunately also capable of survey statistics and attaching numbers to opinions to pretend they are facts:

For inserting and looking up 10,000,000 integer values with string keys I get 6.4s for both Python and SBCL and 5.2 seconds for C++ (std::string, unordered_map).

Python's dict implementation (in C) is good and the interpreter loop overhead is dwarfed by the dict overhead.

SBCL's implementation is in Lisp and achieves the same speed.

(For the general case of Python speed this benchmark is of course useless, since raw dicts written in C cannot be optimized much. Nevertheless it is sometimes quoted as "evidence" that "Python is almost as fast as C++" ...)

There is also the "enjoyment factor" that doesn't necessarily need to match up with pure efficiency. Separate bike paths that cut through parks or use their own cordoned off streets can make a trip so much more relaxing that it moves up the personal choice hierarchy, even if the time it takes to get somewhere increases.

Not having to dodge F150s or breathe in exhaust fumes can go a long way to upping the desire to ride your bike to work in the morning.

No its a conolaint that markets are failing. Market failure is a real term economists use tondescribe real problems.
Not ignorant at all, You have actually pointed to the core of the problem.

IMO It is not enough to know the logical constructs used for synchronization in parallel programs, you have to know the hardware too.

A little bit of everything from high-level parallel algorithms/data structures through memory consistency models, compiler optimizations to processor micro-architecture (cache coherency protocols, atomic instructions, NoC overhead etc.) is needed. Basically we need to be aware of the overheads for contention at every level in the system.
That's really the key point here: Trusting the people you share the server with.

Jellyfin is kind of binary in that regard. Once you're authenticated - no matter the privileges - you can reach a lot of places.
I've written about this recently, if anyone's interested.

Like others have mentioned, you should probably only expose the server to a trusted group of users (ideally not directly on the Internet).

I use the tiling WM spectrwm. It lets me pull windows out of tiling mode and into window mode. I think a common operation on most tiling window managers. Most of the time I don't want overlapping windows(thus the tiling WM) but every once in a while I do, so the best of both worlds.

It is a bit obscure but I quite like spectrwm, it fills this sweet spot where it is much simpler than I3 but more feature complete than DWM.

Yeah some time ago Plex started adding their own content or pushing you to streaming services, probably in an attempt to be more legitimate. I use Plex currently and I remember this being frustrating. With some configuration you can basically remove those options though. I mainly consume Plex through the Apple TV app and the UX (once configured) is above average.

A tree is a subtype of graph. However, a DAG is not a tree if it has cycles once you forget direction, meaning paths can join up again after splitting. This distinction matters because when different paths "join up" again, there is often complicated data duplication/integration that is necessary in order order to combine the results. On a distributed system, it may mean data passing over a network, which you want to avoid.

Would you agree to at least list some of the common natural deduction inference rules in an introductory class, and do a few exercises with them? Like, for propositional logic, modus ponens, modus tollens, contraposition, transitivity of the conditional, conditional proof, proof by contradiction, de Morgan's laws, distributive laws, etc, and some inference rules for quantified predicate logic?

I agree that full formal logic could be too much irrelevant information, but I think many experienced people underestimate how non-obvious the basic inference rules are to novices, and how confused people are about just being told to produce "convincing arguments". The important part is that the argument has to be truth preserving, unlike a "convincing argument" or "proof" an attorney might give in court. It is very hard to understand this difference if one has only a hazy idea of logic and deduction vs induction.
