Honestly, I think when it comes to the large companies I've worked for, they care more than anything else revolves around "support". 15+ years ago the my previous company was all Sun Microsystems based, owned millions of dollars in 880s, 6800s and even an E10K. They said Linux was off limits because they couldn't blame/call anyone when they needed "support", even when Redhat was already around.

Eventually they saw the writing on the wall and moved to Linux systems and replaced all of the hardware, and have an enterprise RHEL subscription that we could call when needed.

I think the story is going to be the same with the current company, mainly "who can we blame if there is a security incident, or get me a Hashicorp person on the phone if we have some kind of Terraform related production issue." Having this in place seems to matter more than everything else honestly.
> Their $8 McDonalds order with a $14 delivery fee.

Yep, I'd agree that paying that fee for a service which doesn't have to deliver to your door is silly, but some people still do it

> In New York, if I’m coming to the door to meet the delivery, then I may as well just walk the 1/4 block to get it myself.

As a fellow city dweller: yep, I'd agree there, too (that's why I don't order $8 mcwhatevers with $14 delivery) but to each their own

It seems unreasonable to expect every driver to know how to legally park around, efficiently gain access to, and navigate the twists and turns of every building, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect every building tenant/employee to do so for their own. If your building was a house, you wouldn't expect the driver to know how to gain entry and navigate to a specific room in it. That's what an apartment building is: a way bigger and more difficult to navigate house.
> I'd suggest you check out the adventuresin9 youtube channel.

Unless I'm mistaken, there is no way to watch YouTube on Plan 9, which rather reinforces the point that it is not made for the modern world, no?
If only there was a way to have just one of those insurance companies, maybe run as a government agency of sorts... Wait, I got one of those where I live, it's called the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. It is not amazing but it easily clears the extremely low bar of being better than the US health insurance setup.

Over in Manitoba they've got one of those for car insurance too. Amazingly, people continue driving there just the same, the government insurance plan never needs subsidies and Manitobans pay way less for insurance. Almost as if the concept of the free market being the best solution for market X needs to be tested once in a while just to be sure, and results may be surprising.
That will be the guy with the horse, I'm guessing? Ask your friend... if they know, they know.
Somehow I expected them to be founded since 1911, cracking those Analytical Engines.
That’s the pharmaceutical version. When going organic, you gotta make compromises.

(I’m kidding. Obviously we don’t put probiotic foods up our butt, even though I do find yoghurt works great as a lubricant)
I work for a company on the list (Aptible), and we do not use Terraform for our customer-facing infrastructure. We experimented with that approach a bit, but I didn't love it. The primary reason I didn't love it is because Terraform itself is prone to flakiness and failures that requires a real human to clean up. This doesn't matter if you're doing it on a small scale (i.e. if you're an SRE and it's just your infra), but doing it at any large scale for customers it just didn't make sense. I do think there's likely a path forward with more flexible tools like Pulumi and CDK, but those are going to have limits in terms of what they're capable of too.

I know less than I'd like about what some of the others on that list are doing, but for a majority of them, they're heavily k8s/Nomad based (which, we also aren't that either, but it's also something we've been poking around at), which lessens the dependency on IaC after you have the initial cluster up and running. Fly.io also has a problem which I consider potentially even more interesting, which is that they run their own severs, so most IaC doesn't even make sense.
What you said is not true. The text of the law specifically clarifies that a false DMCA takedown request is perjury.
It doesn't matter how often it happens. It's a vulnerability that people will end up being exploited or the data will end up being stolen by another hacker.

Not all banks allow desktop usage. Some banks restrict certain functionality from the web interface since it is less secure.
I think the parent comment is implying that if the source code is released at the end of the device's supported life, it will be much easier for hackers to find vulnerabilities. Then users who aren't paying attention will continue running that last version, and hackers will attack them using those now-public vulnerabilities.

So you'd still need some mechanism to force-update devices in response to vulnerabilities found in open-source end-of-support firmware.
ThinkPad works basically perfectly.

>Same restrictions of TPM, some screws tightened somewhat more

Well yes, that windows was basically a direct competition to android (or tried to).
Not sure what has TPM to do with anything really, but regardless;

I am not saying that Microsoft is pure hearted angel that would never dare to restrict client's freedom. Obviously they did it before many times and certainly will in the future.

What I am saying though, is that for now, Android is on completely different plane of user restriction then Windows (in it's main version) is.
And even if Windows is constantly looking for opportunities to tigthen it's grip, none of the restrictions that are implemented right now can justify the conclusion, as if Windows is becoming so restrictive that it's reasonable to compare it to Android.
Criticize them all you want, I will as well.
But let's not bend the reality just so it's easier to say 'all corpos bad', rather then putting a small ammount of effort to distinguish between the levels of opression
I was talking about the more direct cause, but yes, that's the ultimate reason.
> But bring up intelligence along with genetic factors and everyone recoils and tenses up.

I don't think this is true; general intelligence is considered to be highly heritable (40-80% according to Wikipedia). If you start suggesting that g is correlated to race then you'll get a lot of push-back, but as far as heritability not really.

To the degree that intelligence is affected by the environment, we should encourage things that help. Not starving kids and preventing them from ingesting lead both probably have a higher effect than reading, but I would not be surprised if reading doesn't at least cause some development to occur earlier (whether or not there are measurable effects that last into adulthood).
TRAMP is amazing. Whenever I need to edit configuration files or code on a remote server, I get to keep the exact same Emacs setup as if I were doing things locally. There are noticeable delays in opening and saving files on slow connections, but it's good enough that I can't remember the last time I have used nano or vi in a remote server.
BMW: Gasoline Car Ban Poses “Imminent Risk” to European Automakers
Actually, both need to be true, to an extent.

Government being inefficient is required for private companies to have any interest in ownership because profit is the incentive to solve market inefficiency.

If the government was doing an awesome job, the private sector wouldn't have any interest.
> I talk about generators as if they were the coroutine system in Python, but in fact, they’re one of two: Python also has a completely different kind of thing that it actually uses the name ‘coroutine’ for, in which function definitions start with async def and suspend with await.

The async and await system of coroutines in Python is in fact layered on top of the yield system, via an intermediate construct called yield from—which isn’t even technically required, it’s just that implementing it as a loop passing values through from and to the subcoroutine is exceptionally tedious when done carefully[1] and can’t be abstracted as a function call.

As a first approximation, await x in Python is equivalent to yield from x.__await__(). It should have been completely equivalent, arguably, but history got in the way.

David Beazley has a talk[2] where he walks you through implementing an async runtime (to put it pompously) and you can see how the whole thing hangs together. It’s really quite simple, and in my experience it’s much better than trying to wrap your head around the asyncio docs, because while the language-level foundations are extremely nice and simple, asyncio the stdlib module just kind of sucks.

The site has definitely been nuked as you can see here,

https://i.imgur.com/GadzIiz.png

It has gone from 3.2M traffic in 2020 to 172k today.

I'm just having a hard time with the timelines mentioned in the article. He says the site was manually penalized in 2011... but between 2016 and 2020 the site was super healthy as far as positions (traffic) goes.

The site started losing most of its traffic around June 2021, which is also when Google did a big Core Update,

https://searchengineland.com/google-june-2021-core-update-ro...

and I definitely know that this one has been talked about a lot in SEO circles, even being mentioned to this day.

But yes.. I don't get why this article is worded the way it is because it is contradictive to what is actually going on.
Another win if Python was used will be showing how functional programming is done in Python. That said I'm fine with it being based on Haskell. Presenting a specific programming language doesn't seem to be the main point. Also someone can follow book with Python and typing/mypy as exercise.
Maybe it doesn't need a competitor but something that supersedes its design while staying inside the community of communities structure. Most Reddit clones do nothing better than Reddit, they just attempt to painstakingly emulate it. Karma is gamed too easily. Why hasn't someone tried to rank content by a mix of votes and quality indicators (grammar checks, NLP sentiment, engagement)? Innovation usually disrupts.
In my experience both before Doordash and now, deliveries usually happen to the door, and indeed Doordash allows requesting that - it’s usually been honored when I’ve done it, except in rare cases like building policies disallowing delivery people in the elevators (and even then they sometimes came up). In the linked article we are discussing a different case in Brazil where street-level delivery was the contract with the drivers, and the person I was replying to was defending that. I think there’s a potentially viable safety argument for that policy in the unusually theft-prone context of Brazil, but not one that would outweigh the downsides in most broadly safe developed countries.

But as to your suggested solution, I think it’s not appropriate to require a disabled person to explain their burden to every restaurant on every order, or similar. That’s too emotionally harsh. And as I said, delivery to the door is usually not a problem in my experience, but we are discussing a context quite different from my experience.
This is being proposed as a completely voluntary program. No need to participate in it if you don't want an FCC cybersecurity label on your product.
"not having a disability" is not a protected class, nor is "neurotypical", so I think you can probably just do it.
How does it work - listen for keypresses? Is there any protection against this being a keylogger?
Exactly, so we still need the strategic reserve. They shouldn't sell it off.
Wouldn't it "conflict" with actual keystroke sound so we hear "double"?
Can it run Linux fine?
Probably not for a while. If they don't eventually show up as SKUs on amazon with next-day shipping, I will consider Asus's acquisition as a failure.
Where does its funding come from, and who has the power to increase or decrease it?
Please consider requiring making source code available instead of "updates". If the vendor will no longer "support" a product, then the vendor should let the buyer support it themselves and release the source code. In practice, what we know can happen is that buyers may share their support solutions and actually support each other. The story of Cisco's WRT54G router is an example of what's possible.

If security is truly a concern, then all IoT devices connecting to the internet should be routed through a computer that the owner fully controls, which is likely to be running OpenWRT. Any tactics used by IoT vendors to evade traffic monitoring by the computer owner, e.g., discouraging self-signed TLS certificates, should be prohibited.
As someone who works as a broadcast engineer at a Major League Baseball stadium and has interacted with numerous ballpark security employees, the use of facial recognition software is quite widespread in professional sporting venues, both to identify "do not fly list" individuals (banned, trespassed, known terrorist, etc.) and "VIP list" (local and larger politicians, high net-worth individuals, celebrities, corporate magnates, etc.) people.

It also dramatically reduces the amount of time it takes to locate missing children, which is an almost-daily occurrence.
Cool. Personally, I'd favor text-based examples so that the user may easily run them on their own.

Thanks! Sorry for any lack of clarity. My initial draft was way over the character limit and I had to cut a lot prior to posting. Thanks for highlighting the relevant language and clearing things up.
This is a neat little piece of software, however I find the most satisfaction comes from building your own mechanical keyboard that makes amazing sounds when you type :). I recommend it as a good weekend project for pretty much any nerdy-type person.
There's no small amount of irony in the fact that attempting to open your .PDF without the comforting assurance of SSL gives me a "security warning" that I have to go out of my way to circumvent. I'm sure that it won't be long before it will simply become impossible for me to open the file "for my protection."

The push to mandate certificates and other gatekeeping mechanisms that enforce obsolescence for the sake of digital security theatre is ultimately going to benefit corporate bottom lines (especially those of landfill operators), but it will indisputably harm consumers.

I guess I should turn that into a comment and submit it...
Are you in favor of seat belt and airbag requirements?

No. The presence of these features is easy to document, and the harms are limited to the person making the $/risk tradeoff.

What about the bans on asbestos and lead paint?

This is more justifiable. The harm is very far removed from the manufacture (time, place) and it is hard to evaluate whether a given space has these features when e.g renting.
Police departments have well defined use-of-force policies for property crimes including theft and vandalism. This is theft. Pretty simple.

If a suspect flees, resists, or gets violent, then different use-of-force policies will naturally apply.
This is just more of the same "Independent entities invoking their legal right to free speech and association in a way I don't like is an impingement on my free speech" bullshit. It's telling they don't understand section 230 since they don't seem to understand 2/3rds of the first amendment either, and that's only a few sentences.

If you want to require private companies to publish your content, you have to overturn the first amendment, or at the very least, replace the current supreme court with one open to extreme "interpretation" of the text, but maybe don't then complain when they ban guns.

> isn't feasible

This is kind of subjective, and in the context of "is this a JS killer" which is what you're answering, I'd agree, it makes sending the Wasm to the browser a bit of a non-starter that it requires a large bundle most of which is simply boilerplate for whatever runtime, without some type of local storage and persistent cache it's difficult to imagine using Ruby in a Wasm for example. If you're deploying to a container, where you're able to use a cache warmer to ensure the wasm is ready before it's called, then a 1mb binary might not be such a big issue.

(I mean, it is still a big issue because the point was fast cold starts, and big assemblies mean no fast cold starts, but again, subjective value judgments... 1mb isn't too big in many cases and I'd wager most of the cases that I'd really care about. But in a browser...)

But if you're not trying to run the Wasm in a browser then it's still potentially quite useful. You might not be running all of your Wasm in a browser and it might still be a JS killer, and all of those might not be in conflict.
I had the same feeling. When my PRs started failing, a few mins later I went to the status page and got immediate feedback that they were aware of it. That was useful.
> Work doesn't grind to a halt because your git host is down.

When you cannot push your critical change to master on GitHub or run your GitHub Action, then it does grind work to a halt, as it has done with the many commenters here.

> So really, Github still provides a lot more value than self hosting.

Centralizing everything to GitHub is much more riskier than self-hosting given the number of times GitHub has fallen over or had an 'incident'.

> But sure, keep evangelizing and talking down to people who prefer it to self-hosting, I'm sure it will accomplish your goal.

My point is self-proving every month and week that something in GitHub goes down or has an incident. I'll be expecting you to complain again once it falls over in a month's time at the latest.
I think this goal may also have shifted over time. I remember when I learned C, we used c89, which required declaring all local variables at the top of the block. This seemed like a weird/arbitrary requirement at the time (and is no longer required in later versions), but it makes a lot of sense in a single-pass context! It would allow the stack frame for the current function to be fully sized before any other logic is compiled

Expose them to good books. Visit the library, fill the bookshelves at home, read to them. All kids love stories, so your job is simply to make it a nigh-certainty they will encounter stories they love.

The United States produces more natural gas than any other fuel and its consumption of gas is second only to petroleum.

It’s the main fuel used to power electrical plants in the US (all those Teslas generally run on LNG).

It’s also a fuel that doesn’t have a single source supplier. It’s Quatar, Russia, etc.

All these folks talking about reducing gas use and ending global warning by reducing consumption are not looking at this objectively and geopolitically. They see it through the lens of contemporary American environmental politics.

Up until 5-10 years ago natural gas was seen as the major reduction factor in the drop in coal usage and generally a win for the environment compared to continuing to use coal. It was the “better” fuel for the transition.

Obviously we are going to move towards more renewable fuels in future because coming into balance with nature is necessary. But it’s unlikely it’s going anywhere anytime soon and behind closed doors, I think energy policy clearly points to gas as the “lesser of evils” energy source for the foreseeable near future.
Thanks! It does clarify the difference.

For awhile I was using a raw wasm program for a game engine's random number generator. Stored all the state in global variables, so no heap necessary

And yet, every delivery app I’ve used has let me deliver to the door at no extra charge, and that’s usually been honored. We’re disagreeing about the reasonableness of the Brazilian service discussed in the article where street-level delivery is the standard service, at least ignoring the unusually high theft risk in Brazil that may make that restriction more defensible there. In the US and Canada and Germany, delivery to the door has been routine in most of my experience.

I am aware that ARM is well-supported on Linux. However, the OP was asking about ARM laptops with at least half the performance of the M1 and long battery life.

The 13-year old AC100 and Pinebook don't meet the ops' specs of half the performance of the M1 and great battery life. Nor would any of the other examples you list.

The MNT Reform looks neat, but I doubt the performance and battery will meet OP's specs. Nonetheless, pretty neat.
