You've made a few false statements, so lets go through them to keep the record clean.

> He leaked top secret information

True, however it was detailing criminal behaviour and projects that were designed with criminal intent. The Government was not allowed to be running those programs as dragnet surveillance is against the constitution.

> fled to america's worst enemy Russia

False, there is ample evidence to support the fact that he was travelling somewhere else and was unable to continue passed Russia. Where he has decided to settle.

> His revelations are not as shocking to the public as they are to tech people.

True, Which is unfortunate, the tech industry taking notice has had positive impacts, like the taps that were placed on google datacenters being less effective due to TLS being deployed between all services inside google. A very serious undertaking. It also pushed us to create new TLS suites (TLS 1.3) with this in mind and was at least partially responsible for LetsEncrypts existence. So, despite the public taking less care than they should have; it has been for their benefit.

> The journalists he went to were not american.

Laura Poitras is not American? Glenn Greenwald is not American?

> If he indeed exhausted legal options to report his findings he should have made his case in a US court.

How did that go for William Binney? I'm fairly certain you never heard of him or his revelations.

I think the point you've missed is that NSA is above oversight. It's "Enemy of the State" but.. actually, it's exactly like that.

> but defecting to Russia makes him an enemy, not a hero

This is so extremely childish that I am at a loss at how to argue this.

He is in Russia, by the US's own doing, there is a lot of evidence to support that he preferred to be elsewhere. If the only thing you have to smear him on is the fact that he's in an enemy country then sir: you've missed the point. He was always going to end up in an enemy country if he was going to be safe from the US's agents.

Assange was in an embassy in London and there was still discussion in the intelligence community (up to the president) on whether they should assassinate him. In an allied country, in a fucking embassy.

Indefensible.

You're also making a cardinal sin, (as am I by responding to you).

If a crackhead gives you a video tape of your child being raped by the local priest, you don't say that the crackhead is a crackhead and thus ignore the video tape.

You fucking use the videotape to go to the police.

This is not about how much integrity Snowden has, that's completely irrelevant. He shows that the NSA broke the law and knowingly lied to congress. This is absolutely not open for debate, it's a plain and simple fact, and yet we sit and bicker about how Snowden just "isn't american enough" and how "it's nice for our enemies". -- No. It's nice for our enemies because our governments are doing things they shouldn't be. Not holding them to account is not going to make our governments any better.

> No state or state files to manage: All state is stored in Azure. Users can collaborate and have confidence their updates are handled as expected.

Not sure how I could "misunderstand" this quote to mean anything else.

By that logic, CloudFormation is also the same; end users don't have access to the state so therefore the state file is the state of the environment itself? We, as users, have no idea what intermediate step exists between the configuration yaml and actual representation of an account's resources.

Its theoretically more repairable but since they increased the number of pairing issues, I'd say that their latest model is the most unrepairable iPhone yet.
It was nonfiction! In fact, it was in that library 15 years ago, and I think they have a website... However, after a brief search it seems they have a lot of books on Cicero.

I was obsessed with Rome (thanks to my high school Latin class) and the name Cicero seemed so cool and elegant to me.

I prefer Objective C to Swift. I'm not professional Apple developer, though, just write code for fun in my spare time, so I have luxury of being able to select tools I like. I guess, in professional setting Swift took over most new projects.
That’s definitely not true. Swift is being used in some new projects but there is still new code being written in Objective-C.
Even 50MB of code is insane.
Great setup!

When I put together my own home setup (see https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeDataCenter/comments/ktz6yo/my_s... )

I had the patch panels above a collection of switches in both the MDF and IDF closet. About a year in I rearranged it to the more common interleaved switches and panels, mostly just to make it look a bit cleaner.

I moved from 10g to 40g for switch interconnects in a few places, as well as used the fiber I installed to do 10g to most of the desktops, etc. Fun stuff for sure!

It's interesting that you have experienced both sides of the leadership problem space. Honestly a bit glad to hear that others share my experiences and that I'm not just unlucky or something.

Also, oh my do I ever have an extremely similar experience of an IC-type engineer going into a leadership position and trying to "engineer" it: put all teams, sprints, tech visions, growth frameworks, etc. in huge spreadsheets. I look back in jest now, lessons to be learned!
> This is an extremely narrow view. There are a zillion uses of databases that are not storing user data from web apps or whatever.

Who said anything about "user" data?

I work in the energy sector. The GDPR rules are tiny issues compared to the requirements we face to be able to submit ourselves to audits of exactly whom accessed exactly what. We're at the point where the role you get when you log on a system, needs to define whether you have access to each column in a row or not, and we need to log it too.

For authorization, policies and logging we have frameworks like OPA, but for the actual data protection... Well...
If you can write the same program with Objective C or Swift, you definitely can compare tooling. Who cares about guarantees? People care about result. I actually feel that recently iOS and macOS programs became more buggy and unreliable compared to old versions. Not sure if that could be attributed to Swift.

The story about Ivermectin is much more complicated, I suggest you to read this: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-t...

Not in papers, but that is definitely the way a conversation goes when you're speaking with a typical researcher. Ask me how I know. Anyway, the abstract is sort of a metadata element, written precisely because the rest of the paper is not concise or succinct.
Yup, I love Termux. It's what makes my Android phone useful as a tool.
Yeah, that’s called arm64, except for the bit that other people can also use it.
Again, any "good cops" aren't stopping the bad ones. In fact, when people protested and made the simple demand that police stop killing black people - or proposed that perhaps if officers don't want to provide social support the funds for those purposes should be given to agencies who would do so - they have in multiple cities such as Seattle thrown hissy fits and refused to do any portion of their job while somehow still getting paid. Where are the "good cops" speaking out against that?
And you are probably not going to pay me the same as someone who already have the experience you are looking for (and you probably shouldn’t).

Because of the stupidity of hiring and raise practices (not your fault as a hiring manager), you can get HR to open a job req at market rates. But it’s a lot harder to get HR to allow you to give your current employees raises to get them at market rate.

That investment is then lost because your employee is going to jump ship.
yeah, I judged it poorly starting at the title
> The complaint states that when the 78rpm records were converted into digital files, IA reproduced copyrighted recordings without permission. When IA copied those files to a server, that amounted to another unauthorized reproduction

Am I wrong to interpret this as trying to outlaw ripping a CD and uploading to a personal NAS? There’s additional claims about distribution to the public that (may??) seem more reasonable, but that seems like some copyright maximalism trying to rewrite history?

Like everyone else, scientists are so convinced of what they know that they won't listen to other opinions.

The problem is that scientists think their knowledge is truth because it comes from "the scientific method." They fail to internalize that the whole point of that method is that no knowledge is sacred and everything should be doubted to the degree at which evidence exists to the contrary.

A crackpot conspiracy theory with a single anecdotal source of data is sufficient to create doubt in the soundest of theories. Just not much.
Dropping in a tRPC use case that I've really got a lot of mileage out of: communication between the Electron main and renderer processes using https://github.com/jsonnull/electron-trpc. Traditional Electron IPC is hard to do type safely, which electron-trpc solves, and the react-query integration (meaning you get automatic type-safe hooks to issue the requests) is really nice.
Maybe the computer engineering is vastly underpaid compared to computer science but, I guess they can’t attract computer science professors and or students ??? It seems very odd.
I actually agree with the logic. Not necessarily on a phone you take out but an average Android phone running Linux should be able to do this.

You can have a very usable web server and have custody over your own data/website.

Couple it with a Wireguard VPN to an IPv6 tunnel broker and you're golden.
I really like this in a cyberpunk-kind-of-way, but think it's impractical from a data usage perspective + the fact that your ip should change frequently on any mobile device.

In the abstract, I feel like editing a file on your phone vs. editing a file somewhere "in the cloud" isn't so different if the interface makes it indistinguishable, so I don't know if you get any real benefit to toting around your webserver...

but I like the notion of a homegrown, self-managed webserver that you keep in your pocket.
There’s no need to do something like that. They just don’t optimize for certain code patterns.

Untrue. In fact, more and more compiler warnings have been added for Objective-C over the years.

Moreover, there's the static analyzer, as well as runtime checkers and sanitizers.

The W3C has no ability to "forbid" anything. You're going to find professional organizations resistant to undertakings that beclown themselves.

I think it’s axiomatic that an order of magnitude more time will be spent on consuming content than producing it. Why would you spend hours every day crafting a deeply insightful blog if literally no one ever read it? As an author or other content producer, you want people to consume your work. Therefore, the equilibrium between content and consumption must settle on dramatically more consumption than production.

I think this handily explains why the “personal website for every human” utopia never came to pass.

(Yes, I know some people will produce great content purely for the joy of doing it, and don’t care if anyone consumes it. I think that’s an edge case, not the operandus of every living person)

P.S. You’re completely right about the $5-7/mo hosting. I used to run a server in my home, but discovered I was spending more on electricity than the cost of leasing a small VPS. Centralizing has fantastic economies of scale.

You're not getting inbound connections on IPv4 without a fight, although, I remember when you used to be able to pay mobile carriers to get a public IPv4 address that might have also been static(!) for VPN purposes. But it's not uncommon for carriers to give you a whole /64 on IPv6, and for that to be full proper connectivity (maybe they block smtp and smb, that's very common).

Yeah, IPv6 isn't everywhere, but if you have it on your phone and everywhere you want to access you phone from...
Sure, but what if your lead has a review list so big that they almost never get to empty it totally? I would consider that the time of such a lead is definitely more valuable than mine. Again, it's easy for me to accept that Linus Torvalds' time is more valuable than mine.

> If changing 3 lines is really an issue, then create a merge-tool for this workflow and add it to your git configuration file.

Or use the e-mail workflow, where the lead can just comment on the patch right away, without having to even pull the branch (and worse, push comment and potentially fix conflicts), right?
Exactly - I have a drawer full of consumer electronics which could be hacked to better run a web server than my iPhone.
To be fair, you're a multi-millionaire with the luxury to afford things and freedom to schedule things without stretching thin too much.

Prior to the most recent National Congress of the CCP, the General Secretary of the CCP and Paramount Leader of the PRC would only serve two terms of 5 years. Xi Jinping is now in his third term. He also made a show of having his immediate predecessor dragged out of the proceedings without explanation, and so Hu Jintao was unable to cast any votes.

When the voting was all said and done, Xi Jinping was retained for a third term as Chairman Winnie the Pooh; and Li Zhanusa who appeared visibly upset and attempted to help Hu Jintao until being pulled back by Wang Huning and Li Keqiang of the Hu faction were not retained for the 20th Central Committee.

In order to show Hu Jintao was not disappeared, he was later appointed to oversee the funeral proceedings of his own immediate predecessor, Jiang Zemin, over 35 other people who were ahead of him on a list of people to oversee the proceedings.

So you tell us, did Chairman Winnie the Pooh here hijack the CCP or is he just their frontman?
TypeScript is actually a great schema language and fixes a number of problems in GraphQL's SDL, especially the lack of generics.

I think if you're defining a JSON API, that TypeScript is a natural fit since its types line up with with JSON - ie, number is the same in both and if you want something special like an integer with more precision, then you have to model it the same way in your JSON as your TypeScript interfaces (ie, a string or array). This makes TS good even for backends and frontends in other languages. You can also convert TS interfaces to JSON Schema for more interoperability.
Courts have ruled that merely executing an exe file is itself an act of copyright infringment, because the OS copies the contents into RAM. That's how deep it goes.

Sadly, cell provider puts me behind an IPv4 CGNAT, they didn't even bother to hand out IPv6 addresses at least. I picked them out because they were cheap more than anything, so I only have myself to blame.

I have previously used carriers that did expose (IPv6) addresses, though. Port 25/53/etc were blocked but I could host a web server on there if I wanted to drain the 2GB of mobile data I had at the time.

NAT isn't a problem with IPv6 support. Of course there's the network firewall, but adding a rule to accept ports 1714-1764 isn't that hard.

Right now I've solved the problem with a VPN tunnel, but that's not really that permanent a solution.
