Nothing against Arthur Westbook and his career choice [;)] but I think the proper way of turning mastery of a crappy codebase into a career is joining a bug bounty program. Some are big enough (think Yahoo's scope) that you can earn a living mastering them and finding bugs. But won't those bugs dry up eventually you ask...well thankfully new features, API endpoints, (sub)domains etc. are intruduced constantly.
I'm not sure what is meant by oneliner level here.

LXD is meant to run system containers in LXC. It's meant to feel like a virtual machine in the sense that you log in, install software, maintain it, etc.

A similar concept might be images from TurnKey Linux. They're at least available in Proxmox, and are prebuilt system container images, but I can't see them being very popular compared to Docker itself.

I work IT at a market maker/prop firm. 110% bullshit job but it’s low stress, pays well, great benefits, they feed me, pay for my gym, and give me plenty of vacation and unlimited sick time. On top of this I’m very good friends with my coworker so I’m basically getting paid to work with my bud. I don’t need my job to have meaning.

> The "means of production" was barely relevant when Marx found out what a factory was from his factory-owning mate. A plumber owns "the means of production" when he owns his own tools. It's far too low resolution a phrase to be useful, except for anyone who finds it useful to teach people to hate another group of people.

A plumber owns a fraction of the means of production so small it’s not worth mentioning. How much of the means of production is owned by megacorps? A sizeable amount.

How much of the means of production is owned by singular entities in the context of local economies? Sometimes over 90%.

Multiplication becomes addition after you take logs. That makes many things easier to understand and manipulate.

Exponential trends become linear.

The geometric random walk where you multiply by X or divide by Y with equal probability becomes an additive random walk where you add log(X) or substract log(Y) and you can represent that as a standard random walk (where the up and down steps have the same magnitude and probability) plus a trend.

A big part of wanting to live in a big house far away from the place you go is that it insulates you from the pollution you bring with your car to the place you go.

This is basically a prisoner dilemma, you enjoy the common goods of the city but don't get the downsides by defecting to the countryside, making the city worse in the process. In the end everybody loses.

> Not really. For example the switch to LCD monitors from CRT was a step back in quality. LCD was just way cheaper and more convenient as in taking less space that regardless of worse quality it still took over.

That pretty much depends on quality metric. I switched (in late 90s) from big 17" CRT to 14" (TN) LCD just because it has incomparably sharper image and no issues with refresh flickering.

Yes, it has crap viewing angles and contrast (and probably also colors), but that does not really matter as much as sharp image.

These kind of articles are sooo dumb. Those tech CEO's are acting like complete idiots.

1. You can measure productivity in a precise way only in some mindless repetitive jobs e.g. are Twitter employees more productive now that they are in the office. How do you measure that (if you measure it in profits, app quality etc. I'd say that they are much less productive)

2. Each person is different. I may be 10% more productive at home than in the office, and my coworker may be 20% less productive. Why do I have to be in the office because of some stupid statistic?

3. Fine, let's say people who work at home have lower productivity. But working from home enables you to hire people from all over the world as well as people who cannot go to the office for various other reasons. I'm not a big tech CEO, but somehow it seems to me that the best candidate in the world, working at 90% of their capacity will still perform better than the best candidate who happens to live in your city and is willing to travel.

4. Working from home is also linked to a better well-being, which means less turnover, better working environment etc.

5. Most importantly: the fucking planet is dying, because of carbon emissions and you want to just dismiss the obvious and already implemented solution for reducing those by letting people not travel to work, just because of some 10% profit increase.

I'm pretty similar, my wife and I have been looking for 5-10acres for the same reason. I will say tho, while i prefer smaller homes (less room for stuff), these days i massively value two offices and tons of storage.

I don't want stuff, but buying a home (i'm in my first) led me to realize all the practical stuff you accumulate. Organization of it is challenging. Doubly so if you're super space constrained.

>I can only imagine having a coffee with some personalities (Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Einstein, Alice Cooper, et al) and being taught about their lives, beliefs, absorbing wisdom, etc.

You wouldn't be having coffee with them, you would be having coffee with an AI generated facsimile, operating under the assumption that all available information on the web is factually accurate, and that somehow the whole is equal to, or greater than, the sum of its parts.

They wouldn't be able to tell you anything new, or offer any real insight into the life or thoughts of the actual person they represent. There is no wisdom for you to absorb that doesn't come from external sources. It's all fake. Hollow.

You'd be better off just reading the things they wrote, or a biography about their lives than letting the cancer of hyperreality spread even further than it has.

My takeaway from those stats is that it highlights how the suburbs are the worst of both worlds. I live in an apartment in the city, if I were to leave having a bigger house would be the primary reason. The fact that 44% of people already in the suburbs would prefer to move somewhere with bigger houses suggests that for a lot of people the suburbs aren't fulfilling their promise.
> is that it insulates you from the pollution you bring with your car to the place you go

This is a citation needed comment to me. It's one heck of an assertion that I have never heard. Most folks I've chatted with who have made this transition do it because of the density of people, not the pollution (which is miles better in cities than it was even 20 years ago).

Great read. This made me curious about “the story” of the creation of the internet.

2. The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution

Any comments on the above? Or other suggestions?
I largely agree. My goals have shifted from having an impact moving the technology world forward to not being frustrated and depressed from work and getting enjoyment and satisfaction from personal small projects with no deadlines.

Since having kids, most of these have shifted from a few months in time to a few years, but they are unambitious, poorly defined and unimportant so who cares if they take a little longer?

My main goal at work is not getting annoyed or frustrated and getting paid well for my time.
I think this approach to non-Bayesian hypothesis testing is dangerous or misleading.

> Let’s say you study P. You know that P belongs to the family 𝒫. For example, 𝒫 = {N(μ,σ²): μ∈ℝ, σ²>0}. To be aware of 𝒫 is a prerequisite to do any sort of testing.

Okay, sure: you’ve decided on a family of probability distributions. It’s surely an approximation (very few things you would test are actually Gaussian — for one thing, the negative tail often makes no sense).

> For example, to test H0: μ=0 vs H1: μ≠0. After all, a typical hypothesis test is just a likehood ratio test.

This is indeed the usual formulation.

> What you don’t have to know or even to assume existence of—if you don’t do Bayesian stuff—is a probability measure Π on 𝒫 (and its appropriate sigma-field). … But you have to have well-defined 𝒫 either way.

If 𝒫 is well defined, then there is some probability that H0 is true. But H0 occupies a lower-dimensional space than 𝒫 — it’s a measure-zero subset. Most probability measures 𝒫 (and all measures that are continuous on their parameters) give zero probability to H0. So (in Bayesian terms) H0 is a priori wrong w.p. 1. And in non-Bayesian terms, you’re calculating the likelihood of your measurements under two competing hypotheses, one of which is correct w.p. 0 even conditioned on one of the two hypotheses being correct.

And this results in what I consider to be useless headline results:

“This intervention has an effect with significance 0.02” — great, of course it has an effect. What is the effect? Can you say anything intelligent about effect size? Did you even try?

“We did not find significant evidence that some intervention causes some undesirable effect” — great, but that’s actually a statement about your trial and conveys essentially no information about whether the effect is there. I can do a study with n=1 and fail to find significant evidence of anything! But I also learn nothing! Why didn’t you either (a) come up with an actual reasonable hypothesis and test that or (b) put some confidence bounds on the size of the undesirable effect.

And you can do (b) without a Bayesian prior as long as it choose your hypothesis well. “Our data is inconsistent with the intervention causing the undesired effect in more than 0.001% of cases” with some clarification as to what “inconsistent” means.

"The main aim of this fork is to provide once again a real community project where everyone's contributions are welcome and no one single commercial entity is in charge of the project."

Okay... but was the Single Commercial Entity actually doing anything to harm the project? Or is the assertion that the presence of Single Commercial Entities in the Linux space a bad thing? I could see forking the project and keeping pace with changes being made just in case the Single Commercial Entity did something that was not in the best interest of the open source community but to proactively fork the project seems both premature and dilutes the pool of talent contributing to the overall project.
> The Russian population could get fed up. The Russian elites could get fed up.

I think the Russian populaiton is still largely supporting Putin and eating his propaganda on bread every morning and evening from state media channels.

Some of them who are fed up cannot do anything about it as they can face extremely harsh punishments.

The elites may be sick of it, they lost a lot of ‘business’ since the start of the military operation, and from time to time another one bites the dust from an open window high up on a building.

And there are factions within Russia that fight one another and yet they are somehow all in support of Putin.

Written on the Body: An Interview with Claire Simon
> it's clear that they are being careful and are upfront about the some potential misuses and the proposed handing of them.

On the contrary, my main issue is that they identify one of the primary issues and fail to address it.

The biggest issue is that web designers will design around WEI such that the web is unusable without it. For example, while the current use case might be “captcha without WEI, no captcha with WEI”, a future use case might be “captcha with WEI, 401 without WEI”

Essentially this means an end to the open web: websites block you if you aren’t attested. If you want to browse from NewOS, tough cookies that’s not recognized by attesters

This is addressed in the proposal in “Open Questions > How will we prevent this signal from being used to exclude vendors”.

The only proposed solution is in section “Holdback”:

“[…] we are evaluating whether attestation signals must sometimes be held back for a meaningful number of requests […] Such a holdback would encourage web developers to use signals for aggregate analysis and opportunistic reduction of friction, as opposed to a quasi-allowlist […]”

This is a massive potential issue. The author acknowledges WEI could become an allowlist for the web. The author implicitly acknowledges this is most likely if most clients are using WEI (hence, the proposed solution of artificially decreasing WEI usage via holdback)

And even then, the proposed solution of holdback is not a solid one. There’s no technical reason that WEI will continue to have holdback in the future, at best maybe a google pinky promise. Further, there’s solid game theoretic reasons we can predict that holdback may vanish: if popular sites start using WEI as an allowlist, then any browser with holdback will have a degraded browsing experience on a percentage of visits. You can win market share by abandoning holdback!

As a tragedy of the commons, we can reasonably assume in the long term WEI is supported on all visits by all major browsers and a nontrivial number of websites use it as an allowlist.

In conclusion: the author admits WEI breaks the open web with sufficient market share, but the only proposed solution seems guaranteed to fail in a competitive browser marketplace based on game theory.

That is interesting. Googling "firefox open links in active profile" provides plenty of results about the same issue.

I do know there's a flag to launch the profile manager, but I find that to be a nuisance. I don't want to launch it every time, because I'm constantly launching and killing browser instances. Dedicated shortcuts cuts out that step, but in my case would require 5+ shortcuts via .desktop files on my Linux machine, and a matching set of icons on my Windows machine, with the mental overhead that comes from selecting and switching.

The extension is much closer to the behavior I want (Chrome's).

Conversely, I experience a frustrating Chrome bug on Linux, where after some amount of time, external links open a new instance of every profile, and an error window. I've had no luck troubleshooting that, and it helped motivate me to try Firefox again.
I have not found a good way besides restarting FF. There is an extension but it wasn't reliable, as in unloaded active tabs and not unloading inactive tabs. IIRC the extension API didn't have sensible hooks so it was difficult.
Everybody doesn’t lose. Conservatives in Texas win big time with this strategy. They suck all the money out of the cities where all the liberals live and rely on the rural voter base to wage the culture war.

For example, the legislature just passed a law that stripped Austin of the ability to make various ordinances. It also funds its rural schools with payments from the cities — a consequence of having no state income tax and instead a high property tax.
