What makes you think GP is talking about eugenics?

If anything, they're talking about natural selection which is not eugenics. Eugenics is when you select fitness at birth.

GP would be endorsing genocide, or maybe epigenetics if anything, based on the small out of context comment. I highly doubt either was the intention and wonder how you got to the eugenics conclusion.
I lived in Seattle for 4 years (2014-2017) and moved to SF in 2017.

1. Over time the weather in Seattle got to me and I became depressed. I've gotten more sunshine in the Bay Area and that has made all of the difference to me. People complain about the fog in SF but after living in Seattle and Portland I find SF weather to be almost perfect year round. The things I don't like about SF are well documented in the news and social media, just look it up on YouTube or Twitter and you'll see footage from Market St. / Tenderloin areas.

However, most of my time is spent between Golden Gate Park and the Presidio, which is just beautiful and pretty chill. The neighborhoods are walkable, have natural beauty, great food, and various venues where I enjoy hanging. So while I often see SF described as a "hellscape" and a "warzone", much of my daily life feels like a pretty postcard and is fairly quiet and peaceful.

2. I owned a 3 bedroom townhouse in Seattle but rent a 2 bedroom flat in San Francisco. I saved a lot in taxes and had a low mortgage in Seattle. SF is definitely more expensive, but the added cost was worth it for me since I've personally been happier. YMMV, some people seem to hate it here.

3. My pay went up in SF and I have had a variety of opportunities that I might not have had elsewhere.

4. Yes, I have been better at making friends in San Francisco. I never had much of a social circle in Seattle and failed in my efforts there. I do feel like SF has become a bit worse socially since the pandemic. I made quite a few new friends pre-2020, but not as many since. Also some of my favorite music venues and hangouts closed down in recently years.

5. I don't know anything about schools, day care, etc.
I’m always amazed at how many people don’t understand this. Hanlon’s Razor is just a way to sound smart while indulging in self-soothing biases.
Yeah man, totally.
This makes no sense to me... Greenfield projects have problems that legacy projects don't (What language to use, what framework to use, where/how to deploy, etc.), and vice versa (How do I design my feature with the existing limitations of the system in mind, do I need to to redesign a part of the existing system to get it to work, etc.).

None of that has anything to do with "Time thinking about the problem", nor does either one imply that its questions are easier or harder to answer in all scenarios. They're just very different questions, but some devs prefer dealing with the issues a greenfield project presents.
Most people with clearance aren’t working missile systems. The breakdown of work is nearly identical. 99% drudge and 1% interesting technical challenges.

So with clearance, you’re still stuck working on a web framework, but it will help display and track classified documents. How exciting.
I find that battery life extremely uninspiring. I wonder if that's because of Windows, JetBrains or a combination of both.

I run a x86-64 laptop with Linux AND decicated graphics (Ryzen 6850u and Radeon 6800S) and get 6-10 hours of battery life while developing.

Granted, that's after quite a bit of tweaking - I've configured my monitor to go to 60hz, limit the CPU to only 4 cores/8 threads and 2200MHz while on battery. I write Rust with rust-analyzer so the CPU is constantly in use, and my browser of choice (Firefox) is far less optimized for battery life than any chrome-based browser is on Windows.

This gives me a laptop with no concessions with regards to compatibility and it's probably running loops around this ARM based chip, even when running at my tuned-down power settings.

I'd love to have a Linux compatible ARM laptop, but if they don't give you real world double digit battery life, why bother?
This snark has nothing to do with the fact that clearances are a pain and the money isn't there to justify dealing with that nonsense.

The road trains I mentioned are diesel truck conversions. It's that simple. Get rid of the original drive train, put an electrical drive train in. Shove in some battery where the fuel used to go. Actually works. On a 165 tonne road trains. Not a hypothetical but in commercial operation right now defying your notions of what is and isn't feasible. Imagine what a truck that is designed from the ground up to do that could do. Probably would do quite a bit better.

Paying 2-3x for hydrogen and depending on infrastructure that simply does not exist yet doesn't even sound like the beginnings of a plan. It doesn't make any economical sense whatsoever. It's a pipe dream financed by companies reluctant to get out of the diesel truck business. By the time energy really gets that cheap, battery electric trucks will have been dominating the roads for decades and there won't be any point in replacing them with less efficient hydrogen trucks. There isn't one now. There won't be one a few decades from now.
Sure, but it's not necessarily inherent to the job, so the level of effort needed is much higher.
What a strange turn of phrase then. The fact that a message appears to come from a particular number doesn't imply it came from any particular phone.

>And yet there have been plenty of long standing security issues in Linux…

• See the first half of my second sentence.

>Why would you think that a bunch of people volunteering their time would be more motivated to look for security issues

• So they're not harmed by the vulnerabilities. I'm on a big tech red team. I routinely look for (and report) vulns in open source software that I use - for my own selfish benefit.

>and even those that are found, how many would be disclosed responsibly instead of being sold to places like Pegasus?

• Not all of them, that's a fair point. But I'd rather have the ability to look for them in source than need to look for them in assembly.

• Keep in mind that the alternative you're proposing (that proprietary code can be more trustworthy than open source code) is pretty much immediately undermined by the fact that the entities who produce proprietary code are known to actively cooperate and collaborate with the adversary - look no further than PRISM for an example. Microsoft, for instance, didn't reluctantly accept - they were the first ones on board and had fully integrated years before the second service provider to join (yahoo, iirc).

• If you want to start a leaderboard for "most prolific distributor of vulnerable code", let's see how the Linux project stacks up against Adobe and Microsoft. I wouldn't even need to research that one to place a financial bet against "team proprietary".
Hi, ServiceNow dev here. I'd agree that the CVSS might be a little overinflated, but I don't think by much.

I would argue that ServiceNow as a singular component is flawed. It could be several applications on a single instance: Vulnerability Response, Security Incident Response, IT Service Management, IT Operations management, Vendor Risk Management, CMDB, etc.

I actually think in some instances, this vulnerability is considerably worse due the information it provides. User contact information, an inventory of the security vulnerabilities across the organization, applications & versions, Server information, etc. The social engineering issues are massive since they can spoof from essentially your service desk.

Often times ServiceNow has access to other subsystems. Midservers, provisioning tools, monitoring systems, desktop orchestration tools. These systems are often used to handle the response & monitoring. The ServiceNow teams are often understaffed and underskilled.

I've only been thinking about this for the last hour, but compromise 1 account (and I can think of at least 5 different ways that could happen) and a hacker could have:

- a complete topology of your infrastructure

- your active security vulnerabilities

- contact information for your entire company

- a very convincing spoofing method

- the ability to remotely install software on customer desktops

- the ability to monitor your response to security issues

- access to your provisioning tools

This kind of attack could go undetected for years. God forbid ServiceNow's internal instance got compromised. They can remote in to ANY instance.
The guideline to be able to access apps without an account still exists, but the enforcing might have become lighter - or it's just the random fluctuations in review qualities we all know by now :)

What about guix? It uses guile ...
I wish everyone had that attitude about their religions. Learning is something I can get behind in any endeavor.

Guess why this subject gets heated is because Christians do tend to think their freedoms are infringed upon by others having freedom. Like "other people being allowed to be gay, infringes upon my freedom to not allow gays to exist". (gay as just example here).

That is the problem with Religion. If my holy book tells me that something is evil, and I truly believe that god is real, and this book is divine, then now I'm duty bound to go fight evil, even if it is not infringing upon me in anyway. I now must go out and stop it, and take away others freedom.

Pick any hot button issue they are fighting now, and it is very Cherry picked. All of the passages against being gay also include not eating shellfish, so where is the outrage over seafood restaurants?

I think a closer look at all of these issues, Christians are not being forced to do anything against their beliefs, instead they are actively taking away others freedoms. Lets say you do have a religious based food restraint, is there really a school somewhere tying kids down and forcing them to eat it?

In all cases, the need for religious schools is NOT to prevent kids from doing something against their religion, it is to allow them to practice their parents religion while in school, it is to purposely to keep them from knowledge, so that the message they receive is controlled.

Christians are so indoctrinated in the belief that they are the meek, the victims, that they feel justified in fighting anybody that does not believe like them, then prostrate about being the 'victim'.

In any case. It is good to hear about positive experiences. Just seems like for the typical 'user' of the text, the Bible leads more people astray, than it does leading them to any realizations. There are more wrong paths, than paths to your type of experience.

EDIT
Other good example, super hot button: Prayer in School.

But, NOBODY in a public school is forcing kids to pray to the 'wrong' god'.
It is Christians actively wanting to force everyone else 'to pray'. You say you don't want to be forced to do something, but this is explicitly a case where that happens, Christians want to force others to pray, then turn around and act the 'victim', because they can't force others.

I think the US is a bit idiosyncratic in that it uses trucks more than most other countries. The saying amongst teamsters/truckers (often attributed to Jimmy Hoffa) would be, "if you got it, a truck brought it". We also use rail for a lot of heavy goods. Another weird quirk of the US is that the constitution should probably allow private ownership of such weapons according to modern interpretation.
All this reminds me of World of Warcraft. In 2004-2008ish, WoW was a cultural phenomenon. South Park made an episode about it, there was a famous question on Jeopardy about it, parents played it, celebrities played it. Then it started to fade away for many reasons. But as it was fading, people were asking what was the next MMO, what was the "WoW-killer". It never came - sure there were and are other MMOs (ESO, FF, GW2, etc) that people played, but nothing ever peaked like WoW, because WoW happened at a unique moment in time. It was right before social media exploded, and so people were able to be social with each other in the game, creating a unique community situation. All the other MMOs (mostly) grew up with social media, so the social effects were diminished. They were just games.

I see an analog with Twitter. There will never be a Twitter killer, a Twitter 2.0. There will be successful, Twitter-like things (Threads, Bluesky) but nothing can be like Twitter because the era is gone. (Which is the point of essay, more or less). Something else will happen that will engross us for a while, and I'm curious what it will be (and really wish I could predict it!), but nobody, not even Twitter (just like WoW itself was never a WoW killer), will be another Twitter.
I like the direction but have a feeling that 1) the mirrors would give in at some point in time. There are no perfect mirrors. 2) the energy required to stabilize this contraption would be higher than what you could extract from the bh

Twitter unambiguously separates out the feed of people you're following and the algorithmic feed ("For you") in separate tabs (plus you can pin separate lists as tabs). It also opens up the feed you last used when you open a new session. Plus, the algorithm for the "For you" feed is open source[0]

> Nevertheless, Docker runs flawlessly on all major operating systems such as Mac, Windows, and Linux with Mac being the easiest.

Careful, this gives a false impression. Docker is a Linux tool. Windows and Mac docker are indirections, but you're still running the commands on Linux. It's Linux that's the simplest easiest and most straightforward.
Or a dead society theory. The less people need each other for creating value, the more of their communication goes down to attention seeking and identity pandering.
I live in the US but disagree entirely. Works solid where I’m driving, rarely dropping out. I bet I get an average of 55min hands free per hour of interstate driving and it is very smooth. Would definitely pay monthly for the convenience, but so far it’s still free from purchase for me.
Java is conspicuously absent from the list of languages above. Until now, you've had to either spawn an unreasonable number of threads or deal with Java's particular circle of callback hell. Happily, JEP 444 adds virtual threads, which sound a lot like goroutines. Virtual threads are cheap to create. The JVM schedules them onto platform threads (real threads the kernel knows about). There are a fixed number of platform threads, generally one per core. When a virtual thread performs a blocking operation, it releases its platform thread, and the JVM may schedule another virtual thread onto it. Unlike goroutines, virtual thread scheduling is cooperative: a virtual thread doesn't yield to the scheduler until it performs a blocking operation. This means that a tight loop can hold a thread indefinitely. I don't know whether this is an implementation limitation or if there's a deeper issue. Go used to have this problem until fully preemptive scheduling was implemented in 1.14.

TIL, I would've thought from that description that virtual threads and goroutines were identical, but looks like I have an outdated mental model of goroutines from the <= 1.14 era.

There's two groups wanting Linux: One wants access to Linux tooling and will almost certainly have a good experience with WSL/2. The other group wants to not run Windows, so WSL in any form is mostly useless.
The author essentially states themselves that the feeling they have is nostalgia, and it should be noted that we as society should not let our longing for the past prevent our moving toward the future.
However, I do agree with them and believe everybody should make their own website in order to bring this feeling back. We don't need social networks - we can make our own networks via webrings and linking. Bring back "netizens."
> In the world of Almost Famous, Instagram would be the social network for the Stillwaters, the Russell Hammonds, the Penny Lanes. Beautiful people, cool people. Twitter was for the uncool, the geeks, the wonks, the wits, the misfits.

Dichotomies like this are becoming trite in my opinion, even more so because this representation of "cool/not cool" doesn't ring true to my experience on either platform. Who/what falls in line with either category is largely subjective to the subcultures on the platform itself, among other things¹.

> Twitter was the closest we’ve come to bottling oral culture in written form.

This is nice.

1. With the exception of Tumblr, in my experience at least, Tumblr seemed (entertainingly) hostile to the kind of people who probably went on to launch glowing Instagram personas.

When I last checked, the mainline kernel support for the 8cx was EXTREMELY limited. Having messed around with lots of ARM based devices on Linux in the past, I would not bother with this one. Especially given that rather unimpressive battery life.

I'd love a modern ARM based Linux laptop, but I also know that unless it's got mainline kernel support or a dedicated Linux friendly vendor (like Pine) behind it, it's lifetime and updates are going to be extremely limited. And that doesn't even consider graphics API support, which will have an impact on rather basic things, such as YouTube video playback.

Honestly, the only viable ARM laptop with good battery life and modern day performance is an Apple MacBook Air or Pro, which has a very impressive community project behind it. But even that is still incomplete and might peter out if some key figures burn out or become uninterested or preoccupied with for-pay work or whatever.
Indeed there’s a good half-dozen options in Python for this kind of thing. But it depends on which one each project opts to use.
Talking about fundamental OSS projects that is not for-profit at all.

Many of Google's OSS projects are there to help its profits, if not, Google could stop or kill it at will which is fine and is 1 millions times better than closed code, still not the same as projects like python etc.

As an app user, I want you as an app developer to have no control whatsoever over how I use your app and no way whatsoever to know if any data it gets from my device is real.
> Apple Maps wouldn’t have this issue. It’s capable of running offline (without a data connection) because it can download maps to the device.

Why would that matter? Even if the map data is cached locally, a navigation app obviously needs a GPS location from the phone, which requires it to be granted permissions. And the fake data would be equally disastrous to any navigation app.

Or are you suggesting that if Apple were to add a feature for generating fake data, it'd only apply to 3p apps and not their own? I'll admit that it would be totally on-brand behavior.
There are some debatable licensing terms in various Nvidia driver releases that prohibit the use of consumer cards being hosted in "datacenters".

But the real issue is physical form factor and power. As has been noted in the press, etc, something like an RTX 3090 (and more so 4090) is literally designed to push frames as fast as possible power and heat be damned. They're multi-slot (which results in poor density), have card design/cooling challenges, power configuration issues, etc.

There's a story out there about the only dual-slot RTX 3090. Gigabyte came up with one (I have several - they're great) but supposedly Nvidia put pressure on them to pull them from the market[0] because people were putting them in x8 server configurations and using them instead of their much more expensive datacenter products.

> apps could not require users to have “an account” in order to run

There is some big qualification missing or I don't understand what does that even mean. How could a banking app run without an account? An online game? The Twitter app nowadays? Dropbox/Nextcloud/...? Etc.

Yeah, I agree that for a lot of apps, requiring a account is just a marketing gimmick, but I don't think such a general rule could work.
