I'm about a week into the (very painful) process of switching to NixOS.

This is pretty much the promise of NixOS that got me interested, but it seems to be that it's not really true.

NixOS is just running a regular kernel that does regular linux security things. If you want AppArmor or SELinux you still have to configure it yourself.

If you want a sandbox on NixOS, your options are still bubblewrap/firejail, proot, or flatpak. Or of course full virtualization with libvirt.

The NixOS "containers" are just systemd-nspawn which (if I understand correctly) doesn't really offer more security than a properly permissioned user.

I suspect that if you installed a malicious binary in a NixOS package, you'd be just as compromised as you would installing something malicious from AUR.

> When I was doing my PhD

What field, if I may ask?

There's an article titled "Writing higher education differently: a manifesto on style" by Helen Sword <http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03075070802597101> advocating for academic writers to "express complex ideas clearly and succinctly; write with originality, imagination and creative flair; convey enthusiasm, commitment and a strong sense of self; tap into a wide range of intellectual interests; avoid excessive jargon; employ plenty of concrete examples and illustrations; demonstrate care for their readers; and know how to tell a good story"

Also, academics may appreciate the book Writing for Social Scientists, by Howard S. Becker. This is true even if your field is is not social science. You can probably safely skim most of the chapter on "Writing With Computers", as it was first written in 1986 (back when typewriters were being replaced with "word processors") and revised in 2007.

Here is more explaining of what I mean. Coming from other languages you might think TypeScript can add a `throws` type annotation so caller can expect the type of error in the `catch` block. Something like this:

function parse(input: string): string, throws SyntaxError {}

However in JavaScript we can not guarantee that when calling `parse` the only error you might get is the error that this function throws. So there is no point in adding type annotation
So they broke the rules and did not accept absolutely reasonable and just punishment for the heinous crime. Likely they used something threat of genocide to attain their goals.

> Autovectorization is rarely performed as a percentage of all the cases where it’s theoretically possible,

This is not my experience. Do you have some justification for this statement? I've found myself far more impressed by autovectorization than disappointed by it. I've found that code most people think is autovectorizable actually violates scalar contracts. But if you write clear code whose scalar implementation won't introduce UB if autovectorized, the compiler is really good.

Here's my go-to example. Agner Fog's VCL is a well-respected library. It has vectorized versions of all sorts of useful mathematitical functions. For fun, I rewrote his `exp(x)` function using his exact algorithm, but in scalar code, and it autovectorized, and benchmarks the same.

I learned about Turing at university in the 2000s, before his personal history became a vogue subject. Specifically, I learned about Turing machines and the halting problem, alongside Von Neumann machines and such.

It wasn't until later that I learned about Turing's suffering due to his sexuality.

so I am quite curious: why is Flowers underrated? What contributions did he make to his fields similar to Turing's?
Is it realistic though?

It is, which is why the FTC needs to approve mergers.

Why should the FTC care about the console market specifically rather than the gaming market in general?

> How does this reduce competition, and in what market?

The very notion of "console exclusives" reduces competition because it removes incentives to compete on hardware cost or quality and instead compete only on whatever IPs a company happens to own.

Shared housing and shared transit has become gridlocked, initially because of industry forces and propaganda. But today, I think it remains for other reasons: Americans are scared of strangers (sometimes rightfully so) and public spaces are often depressing.

The interesting exception is commercial air travel, which to me embodies the worst parts of shared transit, yet is not considered socialist and dangerous here in the US.
I don't see that as the case. There doesn't need to be a provably secure device for another device to be shown to be fundamentally insecure. What is secure, is leaving all phones, hell, all electronics, out of the windowless room to have the sensitive conversation in. It's a lot of friction but if your thread model includes APTs, you have to give up a lot of convenience.

I totally understand that most people don’t realize how big of an issue online fraud is, but believe me: it is a MASSIVE problem with a lot of unforeseen consequences. There are so many angles to fraud in online services that it’s baffling to see with what new ways scammers and fraudsters come up with every day. So yes, this is something that totally justifies the means.
> I have a PS5 but that is only for exclusives.

I used to keep a Ps4pro for their exclusives and they certainly were enjoyable. But... Seeing previous exclusives now make its way to desktop has me a bit sad about missing out on high fidelity gaming. I could have enjoyed God of war, horizon, rdr2 at higher frame rates and resolutions, if I were just a little more patient.

I'm not happy about the way Epic wrings exclusives, I shouldn't be a hypocrite for Sony.

The reason I bought an Xbox is because of the PS4 I had before. It was quite bad and I have no idea why anyone would think it’s better. The game controller was average, laggy and had to be charged every 5 hours. The console was noisy and the UI was sluggish. Download speeds from the store were also weirdly slow. The whole experience was very meh. Then I bought an Xbox and was pleasantly surprised with the quality.

Microsoft already owns a large number of successful studios and IP, such as Halo, Minecraft, and Bethesda, developers of The Elder Scrolls Series (Skyrim) and the upcoming Starfield. They don't need a helping hand from the government to prevent them being squished out. Starfield was confirmed to have been going on Playstation until they were acquired by Microsoft; now the only way to play it will be on Xbox or Windows.

If Microsoft buys Activision/Blizzard, it's safe to assume that future A/B games will go the same way, and only be available on Xbox or Windows. This is problematic because Activision's IP portfolio is massive (including huge console annuals like Call of Duty), and Blizzard games are still extremely popular. If a normal game studio acquisition is like a comet colliding and adding its mass to the Earth, this would be like the moon crashing into the Earth.

Venezuela might've been middle income in the late 70s and early 80s but it struggled in the 90s. Chávez rose to power in the wake of an economic crisis that kept getting worse throughout the 90s for Venezuela. He didn't come out of nowhere. Chávez screwed Venezuela over long-term, but per-capita GDP rose sharply in the aughts[1] (at least according to the World Bank).

The lesson here is you should generally optimize your economic policy for broad economic prosperity - concentrating economic benefits to specific population cliques (be they socialist or capitalist) is a breeding ground for instability, authoritarianism and economic turmoil.

That’s not what regulators do in this space. Instead, the rules are of the form “use certified vendor, and you will be shielded from liability”.

Also, the vendors and the people being shielded largely write the rules.
This is the problem, there is no easy analogy. If I’ve learned how to code from an open source course, I don’t breach copyright every time I write code in my career. If I clone the course, just replacing some of the examples and using synonyms then I probably have. ChatGPT is somewhere between these extremes and it’s unclear what the principle should be.

You're being generous here. A new grad in France in engineering or development gets more often in the 40k€. The most senior positions in most companies plateau around 90k€.

In some companies in Paris it's higher, but that's the exception.

High latency still makes those machines less efficient to both compromise and them use to scan a bunch of ip addresses. ie US hackers hacking Chinese machines to then hack US machines is really inefficient.

Latency doesn’t prevent such things from working, but your better off hacking local resources and then using those resources to scan locally. So all things being equal either there’s a huge surplus of especially vulnerable Chinese machines or a surplus of Asian hackers.

To be clear there could just be a huge surplus of easily hacked Chinese machines, but that itself would be noteworthy.

Then go to another machine and from your try repo, just type 'try install --name homeWebServer -- and it does whatever your try stack was

China has figured it out so it's clearly possible.

Something like:

- tight competition and selection process for leading party members (i.e. to become "president" you first have to successfully lead a city/province etc.)

- totalitarian speech control

- public "disappearances" of non-desirables to scare the rest of wannabe dissidents

- encourage economic growth, independence, entrepreneurship

- make "economic growth" one of the main political promises of your one-party totalitarian rule

- control economy only at the top (e.g. by disappearing entrepreneurs that become too powerful), laissez-faire otherwise
From the data that I could find, it's perhaps at best 10% of all tech companies that even go public (and very possibly as few as 1%). It's far more reasonable to assume a company is the 90% or 99% of companies that do not go public rather than anything else.

My experiences are the same that equity in private companies is not significant. Worse yet, in all of my experiences the private equity I could have bought or did buy were all 100% losses.

On a different topic, I think your response mrkurt is a violation of the commentary guidelines:

- "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Their point is that "was the rule violated" is a combination of "is a vehicle" and "in the park", hence both axes are relevant factors. If pushed, I would concede that the ISS is a vehicle, but I would consider the bounds of the park to end far lower than where the ISS orbits, so despite being "a vehicle" it doesn't violate the rule because I don't consider it "in the park". "Is it in the park" isn't relevant for most of the questions, but it's still an important part of the premise.
