I installed Chrome OS Flex on my old laptop and I couldn't be happier, honestly. It has a really light and snappy shell, I can run all these PWA apps at once without so much as a hiccup, and I can use crostini to run Signal and VS Code. The only thing it doesn't handle is Steam, but I couldn't really play anything natively on that machine even on Windows.

And despite Linux being in a virtual machine the general experience is very seamless - I can install .deb packages by simply double clicking them in the file explorer!

Oh and most importantly, GeForce NOW works and I can still use it to play BG3 :D

(it goes without saying that the experience is much better if you're already tied to Google ecosystem, as the file explorer integrates, optionally, with Google Drive)

Here's what needs to happen:

The tech industry is not ready for pervasive internet enabled devices that have microphones, cameras, or control heavy machinery. It all needs to be taken out. Aside from the threat to human life (due to malfunctioning vehicle software), we're heading straight for a dystopia where you can get arrested for walking down the street and committing a thought crime because every house will have cameras facing the street hooked into some company like Amazon that will simply be commandeered by the government to "fight crime because if you aren't giving us access to your camera you aren't against crime".

I don't know what legal movements this needs, it has to be something that doesn't backfire. The obvious thing to do is just ban Amazon from selling products like Ring, and remove software and radio communication from home appliances and vehicles. Software in a television shouldn't be legal. It has environmental consequences too not just privacy (which right now is a problem since every TV just scans what your watching and reports back to the company.
Aim to converge with the state-level right-to-repair down the road.

If the manufacture stops releasing updates, they need to make it clear how you can update the device yourself without compromising security.

GitHub and GitLab both do this. They only give you enough of a shell for Git commands. I'm not sure how GitHub's is implemented, but GitLab's used to be a locked down Unix shell (i.e. in theory only the commands needed for Git would be accessible, with the caveat that there could be bugs) and now [0] it is a Go program [1] that listens for SSH connections and implements an in-process shell that only supports Git commands. Fun fact: you can create a GitLab PAT with an SSH command. (Another useful trick, to verify your SSH keys are configured properly for Git, is to run `ssh -T git@github.com` which will print a welcome message including your username.)

Amazon and Uber Eats Drivers Capturing Residents in Photos: Invasion of Privacy?
hi,

i’ve been staying at a friend’s apartment for a few days, working from the couch which faces the windows. nearly every day, an Amazon or Uber Eats driver rushes up the stairs, peering through the window as they look for the right apartment. we often lock eyes, creating an awkward moment. then they place the delivery down, step back, and snap a photo. i find this extremely unsettling.

i’m in a private residence, yet the chance of me appearing in a photo has significantly increased. considering how Live Photos work on smartphones, the camera is essentially recording everything it sees until the photo is taken. also to note nefarious use and wide angle lenses… does anyone else find this invasive? how and why are Amazon and Uber Eats allowed to carry out such practices?
The usual direction this goes is, some cultures place higher or lower relative value on parenting your kids, and some cultures are in practice rife with absent parents as a byproduct of what they value.

Expressing physics with more rigorous mathematical or computational formalism might be good: For instance, a force is a triple (sending object, receiving object, force vector). Newton's third law says that whenever there is a force (S,R,F), then there is another force (R,S,-F). Also, this makes clear that Newton's 2nd law is not a definition of force, because it misses out on two of the three components of a force triple (-- by the way, is there a formal term for what I'm calling a force triple?)
I'm pretty sure "disability status" cuts both ways.

That said, this appears to be a recruitment firm. They aren't hiring people, they're matchmaking people with companies. I'm not sure how anti-discrimination laws would apply to this. I can imagine that if a company uses this recruiter and manages to erase that information before candidates meet the hiring team, it could be okay.

Related story, I remember years ago as a kid I bought a Prince of Persia PC game at a yardsale (on a CD), but early on in the game there was a riddle where you needed a password to get through this door, it was some cryptic message of a few numbers.

I don't remember the exact format but it turned out the riddle was instructing me to go to page X, line Y and character Z of the manual for the game!

I remember being so sad that I couldn't play anymore because I didn't have the manual but in retrospect I wonder if this was an anti-piracy strategy

In this case we have two approximately equal economists, but in general any discussion about revealed preferences, utility, and value is remiss without a parallel discussion on how value is wealth-weighted. Feeding a starving orphan creates 0 economic value because the orphan has no money, but figuring out how to merge companies into a monopoly creates extreme amounts of economic value by way of making rich investors even richer.

I read your comment to imply that the ISA is the only thing that matters since that's what defines the software interface and that software is the only thing that matters.

If that is what you're saying, I think you're wrong.

As to the low level hand coded assembly. There's a fair amount of stuff in the Intel architecture that's not officially published. There are tools (from Intel) like VTune and the Intel C compilers that use non-published interfaces to optimize C or assembly, sometimes significantly. It is true you can write software without them, but many people purchase these Intel tools to make sure their systems run quickly and efficiently.

I can't remember if the SiFive U-X4 core equivalents were defined in the open RISC-V specs or as part of SiFive specific interfaces. If the former, then your point is even stronger. If the latter, your point is still valid, though modulo the impact of having relied on a SiFive specific interface.
the subject and composition is without parallel, for sure.

This has been posted repeatedly over time. The problem with the site is that it has the structure of a shallow content farm and Google hates those.

Most of the pages are being properly drilled with a shallow content penalty. The pages are easily 90-95%+ constructed of repeating content farm linking or text repeating structures (the biggest piece of content on a given page is a content farm structure, this: "Slang terms with the same root words"). That's garbage filler that once upon a time was abused by content farms to fake a full page of content (which is exactly what this site is trying to do). Google destroyed that approach to luring traffic via SEO abuse a very long time ago.

To say nothing of the fact that it's just not a valuable content segment today. It's not novel, it's not in any way superior to its competition. 15 years ago a slang online dictionary might have been an amusing entertainment source for a couple of minutes. The interest in properties like this has imploded over time. Broadly these types of farms have no future and they have been dead for nearly a decade.

It'd be like being shocked that your shallow content recipe index with 25,000 recipes no longer gets the Google traffic & love that it did in 2005. Or a famous quotes site. Or a lyrics site. Well no kidding.
Three minor but frustrating differences that have caught me have been cosmetic issues, which don't really matter until they do.

I bought screws from a company for several years when suddenly they changed the head by adding some knurls to M3 socket head screws. A different set of Truss head screws had a small countersink type feature added around the torx drive. And then the finishing process changed. All subtle changes but when one screw out of 20 is different it stands out. My solution was to track batches of cosmetic screws and compare them before transitioning to the next batch. Leftovers go in a spare parts bag.
I was a psychology major in college. In one of my smaller seminars, we had a research psychiatrist come in as a special guest one week. He told us that all the evidence showed that the effectiveness of therapy has no correlation with the training (or lack thereof) of the practitioner. The only factor was the empathy score of the therapist.

I have seen a few therapists over the years, but that always stuck with me. I'd take good conversation with a trusted friend or family member over a therapist any day. It might even serve us better to do away with the credentialing process altogether and sort of lift the veil on actually what happens in therapy.

The one really great therapist I had didn't even "do therapy" but instead helped with all sorts of practical advice when I was navigating a complicated divorce.
>we’re going even further backward with the mechanical keyboard obsession

Well, not quite; single-stage/two-stage trigger technology, as well as progressive triggers, have some benefits when applied to keyboards.

First, single-stage/two-stage triggers give you (with single-stage) a single smooth press with activation point somewhere in the middle, or (with two-stage) a consistent amount of takeup then a wall that you have to break through to activate the mechanism. So you can have the key pressed and resting on the activation point, and then press it the rest of the way when you want the input to register (for instance, if you're in a game and are waiting for someone to peek around the corner).

Second, progressive triggers, where pressing a little way registers a single input and pressing it all the way down/back types something fully-automatically. They're still mostly useless because the manufacturers refuse to put properly heavy springs in the switches, but the technology itself is ready for this.

It's certainly strange that it took 70 years from the implementations of these ideas in firearms to today's keyboards given the advantages of each mechanism are equally applicable to both, but that's the way it happened.

Is "Deno KV" a feature of Deno the runtime or Deno the hosting provider? The docs aren't clear about what it actually is, and that makes me a bit wary when deciding to use it.
What causes this?
I'm going to complicate this a bit and say "If you can use open source, you can prototype hardware"

Part of building hardware is making it robust enough to exist in meat space long term. That means thinking about how the humidity sensor is affected by ambient conditions (including the packaging bag, that one has bit me in the past) and having a plan for re-calibration if drift becomes too great. That means picking connectors for your wire harnesses that can handle the number of times you expect to connect/disconnect them over the course of your things lifespan. That means tuning the length of that wire harness so you can't damage it when you open the enclosure to change the battery or whatever. It means thinking about how ambient conditions affect the rest of the design, so you don't have to clean the contacts on all the wire harnesses every so often, because you didn't get gold contacts for both the harnesses and the connectors, and you live in a high humidity environment.

Don't get me wrong, I'm self-taught on virtually all of these points, it is achievable for the hobbyist. Just understand that swapping out one smart relay controller for another is pretty far from having a smart relay controller you'd even give to your sister-in-law for Christmas.

> The simple answer is that the people who would make those decisions are the people who hold those jobs.

We just went through a season of layoffs - I find it hard to believe that no one thought to get rid of the so-called bullshit jobs for greater efficiencies.

For arguments sake, lets say the conspiracy for bs jobs goes all the way to the top (C-suite, boards) in established companies:
how about startups then? Where are the streamlined startups that are more efficient than incumbents by simply not creating those "unnecessary" roles?

I suspect that coordination problems necessitates these roles as companies grow larger - call it corporate carcinization if you will. If you were to start your streamlined org today, it will evolve into a crab-like form.
The answer is: Standards. Linux core with LTS (Long-term support). Offer that option and don't get involved for the rest. Let the consumer decide.

> This is the enshittification of open source.

You can simply not use it, no?

I am not going to make any sweeping generalizations across all products. But at least in the case of Deno KV, there doesn't seem to be lock-in. So if you were running something self-hosted for KV persistence, it will continue to work unmodified.

> I would see with disgust a bunch of startups use "open source" as their marketing tactic.

Again, not sure which bunch of startups. But I am not seeing that with this product. Seems more like a survival strategy to add some cashflow behind the developers.

I am curious what you think Open Source should be (or should not be). I think it's fair that running a service in the cloud should cost something. And self-hosting it, I think it's fair that it requires a bit more effort than using the hosted service.
Hi, the short of it is that I decided to go to law school and then looked for jobs focusing on cybersecurity. If you're interested in jumping over to law, I'm happy to talk about it more. You can find my email in the FCC directory https://www.fcc.gov/about-fcc/finding-people-fcc
It's so bad. Old apps are grandfathered into features they don't have in their new APIs yet. Trying to write an android app for chrome also sucks, there's missing functionality. The APIs are all documented but in the most confusing way so you never know if something will work until you try it. Terrible, never doing it again.
GitHub projects can be configured to force fast-forward merges.
Does this change your mind at all? https://github.com/denoland/deno/blob/be1fc754a14683bf640b7b...

It looks to me like they've documented the KV Connect protocol they invented to support this feature, in enough detail that anyone else could build an alternative backend for it.

This has helped me feel completely OK with how they're handling this. They get an advantage in that they've already built an extremely robust proprietary backend, but I find that acceptable given the documented protocol.
I think they are drawing on the similarity that both things (pi-hole and black holes) were theorized long before they were proven -

but I dont think this is a very good addition to the article, it just confuses concepts that aren't related

This is a good point, some IoT devices really can't be designed to be physically serviceable, while still remaining reasonably compact, e.g. those that need very high levels of water resistance, especially saltwater resistance.

And adding any remote update mechanism at all would more then likely decrease overall security.

So there actually should be a counter mandate too, for devices that are impractical to design to be physically serviceable, while meeting certain size/weight/etc. requirements.

To make sure remote update mechanisms, of any kind, are never implemented, unless the manufacturer can guarantee that the update mechanism itself doesn't introduce new flaws.
Sim Earth had the same thing! It would ask you a question like "How many moons does Saturn have?" and the manual had some fact sheets at the end with all the numbers. Wikipedia was not around yet, and their fact sheets having slightly different numbers than encyclopedias due to different sources and publish date (moon counts change often, and measurements in meters for anything astronomical have randomness due to imprecisions).
