If you squint a bit, Russia is the proxy. China's to be specific. The outcome tested the waters a bit for how the international community might react to the invasion of a somewhat developed nation vs a developing one. It also uses up munitions and war chests of those that might get involved. And in the now seemingly inevitable case that Russia's economy and political power are severely damaged, it has a trading partner that makes plenty of food and fuel that everyone else has promised not to trade with, so the prices are cheap.
Beyond the actually privacy argument I think there is a social argument. If you don’t post photos on Instagram you will drive more (for want of a better word) ‘engagement’ in real life as your friends actually meet your baby/child in order to see what they look like. Hold of the digital snack and enjoy the much more wholesome reality.
> Assuming that was due to discrimination that would be bad.

But if it was accidental it wouldn’t be bad? I think the OPs point is that we can’t always know the second order effects of our decisions (hypothetical ex: requiring high test scores from a standardized test that native English speakers do better on) without keeping track of the outcomes.
We’re talking about a nuclear waste spill that is still just as dealy 40 years after it happened and none of you think the cesium from early life stages will still be there?

Fun fact I just learned: some salmon survive spawning. So a fraction of adult salmon could be re-exposed. Which is probably the more likely vector since childhood exposure is more time for symptoms to catch up with them.

We do eat a lot of Atlantic salmon here, it’s true, but we also eat named PNW salmon species like chinook, coho, steelhead trout, and at least some of those are indigenous to the Columbia.

Congrats to the Oxide team, this is a massive achievement.

Now that racks are shipping it'd be awesome to see a top-to-bottom look at the hardware and software. They've given a lot of behind the scenes peeks at what they're doing via the Oxide and Friends podcast, but as far as I'm aware there is no public information on what it all looks like together.
Would be smart. And of course bring the video cameras and make a spectacle of dragging a pimply 18 year-old out of his moms basement. Throw the book at him and make it very high profile. Sucks the kid has to waste away 10 years in the clink but someone has to be the example.
You need to decouple the location of the url from the location of the resource. Like having a /resource/ branch with logic that decide which server have the resource and redirects or proxy or whatever to that content. And all locations have the same logic.

So, wherever you start on, you will access the content of the whole federation.
The earlier comments were so cynical I felt like I needed to offer another possibility: maybe they set out to do this in a more systematic way, then got so deep in the weeds they realized it would take them forever to put it into more systematic form, but they didn’t want to just leave it sitting there sight unseen. So they acknowledge it’s sloppier than they would like it to be, but hey, at least it’s something. That’s not really self deprecating so much as just… being transparent?
You can "get abs" simply by rolling 72hr fasts with no physical activity, and easier, because you won't be as hungry since you weren't swimming/whatever for an hour.
That quote, at no point, says they violated. Simply, that they don’t care. Which they do not. They care about money. It amazes me how many people want to split hairs for a billion dollar corporation. You can be compliant and still be morally bankrupt and not care about the GPL. Not mutually exclusive. And important note: “which guarantees that users are free to use, share, and modify the software without paying anyone for it.”

All that said, I will just admit that I am upset with RHEL and need to do some more research into the GPL.
I think these groups are out there, but unfortunately they are informal (not listed on the web or through a company), and also are not for a beginner level.
For me, I’ve been learning how to surf and cook. I found at an absolute beginner level no one really wants to go out surfing with you, or do dinner parties. I did find once I showed enough commitment, and reached a beginner-intermediate level, more people were willing to join me in learning, and form informal learning groups.
Could it be possible that there is also overlap between groups A and B, and the interdependence is what fuels societal progress more than “it’s all group B”?

There is no credible basis to believe the Piorun has a better seeker. Piorun's seeker uses a design similar to obsolete variants of the Stinger.

Modern Stingers share a guidance package with the AIM-9X Sidewinder and, unlike the Piorun, have dual mode imagers that work in both IR and UV which makes them impervious to flares.

But they are. In any remotely evenly matched conflict neither side will have air supremacy. Patriots and NASAMs can not kill things they can't see--against aircraft flying a treetop level their engagement range is very short. However, aircraft flying at treetop level are very vulnerable if they fly too close to a MANPAD launcher. Flight time will be a few seconds and the desired engagement is from behind--about your only chance of beating it is automated flare dispensers or anti-missile lasers (blinding the seeker, not actually killing the missile.) An aircraft that could fly home crippled from a marginal hit will still go in because the pilot has no altitude to trade for time.

Ukraine isn't an edge case, Ukraine is what you would expect from anything less than a turkey shoot. It's just we haven't been in anything other than a turkey shoot since the Stinger came out.

> HBO has always stood for premium entertainment for adults.
It depends on what you mean for JIT. wazero is load-time AoT; i.e. we compile the module in-memory on load, for efficient execution later, when you instantiate, it is not AoT in the sense that we produce a stand-alone executable, the runtime is always hosting that executable code that is generated, and we go back-and-forth between translated wasm and "Go space" at run-time in many cases. It is AoT in the sense that we do not tune the generated code depending on tracing or profiling information, because we don't track it for compilation.

The Wasm model itself gives a certain degree of safety: e.g. you do not have complete control over the host OS, because you have to explicitly expose functions to the gues module; we also provide a certain degree of control over e.g. execution time (you can instantiate a module in such a way that executions can be cancelled or set a timeout) and memory space.

We also provide an interpreter for all platforms where Go runs, and Takeshi (the founder of the project) is also working on bootstrapping an optimizing compiler that should soon land on main, and more work will happen in that space.
It is a very narcisistic perspective. Which makes sense if you consider the author.
I’m not criticizing that specific case. Just that there’s now ridiculous warning labels on everything.

At my previous employment, we used RHEL. Why? It is the only linux on the governments list of "security acceptable software products".

And lot's of CentOS. Mainly for development. If I needed a virtual machine to troubleshoot something, I would make a CentOS one. A lot easier to not worry about the license keys. Same for build machines and temp lab setup machines, CentOS was quick to set up.

Delivered machines required RHEL. The others did not.

It got in the news in 2020 when it happened near Gibraltar; since then it has been reported in the news many times, 250 attacks near Gibraltar have been reported.

And now last week one near Scotland, and this one this week.

Surely if it happened all the time, and it was in the news for so long, it would have been noticed and reported from all over the world?
>Unfortunately, this keeps the parasites in power as it masks the damage their approaches are doing, or would be doing if left to run their natural course.

I hear this, but I also find there's practically no retrospective at the managerial level outside of an acquisition as that's the only way a culture shift is incurred at the upper levels, and that of course all depends on the acquirer.

They're all too busy playing the game of minimizing their exposure, creating leverage and advantage for their ambitions, etc.

I feel like a managerial culture is something that kicks off on day one and gets perpetuated, or it just turns into every other Enterprise eventually.
I think the blame should be less for not keeping the supply chain alive, and way more for being caught by surprise. The interval between needing/buying X and receiving X is critical to understand.

Crucial electronic components for a piece of equipment designed in 1978 and last manufactured in 1987 are no longer manufactured, and replacing them will require a redesign and a requalification? Who could have understood that, besides anyone with a EE degree.

Yeah, as far as I can tell, nostr does indeed solve the issues discussed ITT. I think it stems from the fact that nostr is a protocol, just like HTTP. So instead of federating or decentralizing on top of http, we needed a different protocol all-together
oh, but it is true, though your media don't tell you about it. You just have to search yourself, which I doubt you are capable of.

And what you have written about Russia, in the way you have written it, has a simple definition: libel.
Yeah, I think so. Which is why I don’t think I’d ever do this… as much as gosh it would be satisfying to punish scammers.
My general understanding is that "dismantling of flexible Western production capabilities, increased reliance on these countries, and dissuaded aggression towards them" was the whole point of global supply chains; literally the doctrine.

Not sure about the implicit attempt to address power imbalance: if you invest your IP in some "underdeveloped" country and then they decide to sell chips to all comers, or not to sell to you and sell exclusively to your global competitors something is going to give... or break. Or get broken.

But that's literally how it was sold: give up your industrial base for a safer world. (We thank you for your patriotism, former industrial worker of the western world.)
> For example, by this logic social media is perfectly in their right to block posts from political positions they disagree with, which many folks might find impinges on their right to free speech.

They clearly are, and always have been, and there are even laws to that effect protecting their right to do so.

People who believe that social media platforms are infringing on their free speech rights by moderating or banning content, even beyond strictly policing legality, are simply incorrect. Freedom of speech has never meant that all available platforms must be compelled to carry your speech.
Well done and congratulations to the Oxide team !
Very excited to see where this company goes
I know here in Illinois, USA if your parole specifies treatment (e.g. sex counseling, criminal behavioral thinking counseling etc) then you can voluntarily skip all that by just spending half your parole time in prison and leave with no restrictions and no therapy.

This happens to a lot of inmates involuntarily because the prison system can't find anywhere to house them, so they are forced to keep them in prison and then release them with no help and no support.

There are more mundane issues like lead-free solder. RoHS isn't US law and the military will not use lead-free parts because of reliability issues. Most DIL and QFP parts are sold with unformed leads because vibration requirements generally require higher standoff from the board customized for each application so the leads flex less and can be supported from below with elastoemric compounds. Good luck procuring such things without some significant cash and the right contacts.
Depends on where you live. In most of Europe, sauce always costs extra. For example a regular packet of ketchup at McD's here in NL is 30-50¢ depending on the location.

The demise of on premise and private data centers is greatly exaggerated. Few people here do that because the cloud is great for startups and rapid prototyping. Most on prem beyond small scale is big established companies.

There is a minor trend of established companies reconsidering cloud because it turns out it doesn’t really save money if your work load is well understood and not highly elastic. In fact cloud is often far more expensive.
Yeah, I think nostr is the obvious solution when you realize this article is all about the issues of federating/decentralizing on top of HTTP. The P in HTTP is protocol. So the solution is that we need a different protocol: nostr

Fair enough, IANAL so I guess I let emotion get the best of me. That said as of v3 of the GPL: “ You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License.”

I guess I am curious what the legal reasoning is behind them skirting it is.
Ah yes, what better time to admire russian culture?
In the very short term, sure. All of the discussions of this kind of thing (and of copyrights and patents in general) have this same very-short-term perspective. "Patents SUCK, they're MEANT to encourage innovation but it's been SIX MONTHS and we STILL can't use [technique X]." Sure, but 20 years from now that patent will expire and we'll all be able to use it thanks to the fact that it was patented, and so significant parts of the 'secret sauce' are a matter of public record.

It's a bit odd that people often call these side-effects. They're just "effects". Side effects are things you don't want to happen, i.e. accidental/incidental effects... which is exactly what a pure language like Haskell aims to prevent.
I think the GCC ASM syntax for specifying inputs and outputs is quite clear enough, and doesn't require a variable declaration with unusual syntax.

Well, majority of you know are not majority of actual IT workforce in India. As some one who worked for a decade or so with Indian IT vendor and worked with outsourced developer till today. Most of them have no interest beyond meeting client requirement which is just code word for a massaged resume contain exact keywords that clients put in job requirement.

> They want to create novel and creative things like everyone else. That they're stuck in the modern equivalent of the assembly line is really not their fault, ..

Well they could've take low paying job that's creative. But IT jobs offer high income while sitting in A/C office and following instructions of manager/client.

Nothing wrong with that I am doing same. It is not a fault it is explicit choice they have made.
Off topic, but it seems that we’ve really stagnated, on the terminal front, especially considering how many clients have full GPU acceleration these days.

I absolutely agree with you that everyone should be allowed to use the tools they prefer. My intention is not to denigrate Lisp or to suggest that it is 'dead.' I appreciate its role in computer science history and its unique strengths.

However, it's also important to understand that the purpose of discussions like these is to exchange perspectives and understandings about the different tools we use. The objective is not to declare one language as the 'holy grail' and demean the rest, but rather to acknowledge that each language, Lisp included, has its strengths and weaknesses, and is more suitable for certain tasks than others.

While Lisp is excellent for certain tasks such as exploratory programming, other languages like C, Go, or Python might be better for others due to factors like their robust libraries, wider community support, or greater ease of readability and maintenance.

I actually agree with you. I think the societal impacts of this are going to be huge. I was speaking more to the monetization potential of AI. And I guess I should have specified that this refers legal monetization, since I'm guessing that for a time, illegal bot operators will do quite well.

In terms of societal impact, I suspect that this will ultimately result in the death of all open platforms on the internet and a withdrawal from online spaces in general.
