It’s a single, standardized uninstaller governed by the creators of the OS.

Sharing between projects is not how I’d frame this. Using a shared/standard OS facility is closer. This matters quite a bit when it comes to establishing trust.
I'm American and was in a union before. Some of my coworkers disliked the union because it was mandatory to pay fees when you started the job, whether you took advantage of union benefits or not. There was also an incident where an employee threatened to stab another employee, but because of the union, it was very difficult and time-consuming to get them fired (imagine working next to a guy who threatened to stab you for over a month).

That being said, the coworkers who expressed dislike for the union also enjoyed the benefits of guaranteed wage increases, free gym access, and generous holiday time.

I think in general in the USA, there is a view that unions slow down progress and create extra bureacracy, which they often do. There are good unions and bad unions.

Yes? Every dollar paid to workers is a dollar not available to be paid to shareholders. Hence people with a zero-sum mentality go to extreme lengths to keep pay down.

Brilliant. Those were standout games from Flash, and so clever. They deserve to come back. I look forward to that release.
Oh it’s Gbps not GBps.
I thought the, "epic trailer music intense tribal percussion and brass" was pretty good. Rather, good enough for something like a video game where the game engine is dynamically generating music based on the present situation in the game.

I could easily find that music entertaining if it started playing the moment my character triggered a trap and suddenly, "the floor is lava" or my character enters a scene with the quest of winning over one of the love interests =)
I will say, it seems better than it used to be in the pre-chip days, but I've had to replace my primary CC once already this year due to an obviously fraudulent charge. To the credit of my bank, it was virtually painless - I had a new card in under 24 hours, and I didn't have to think about the $2000+ charge at all until they confirmed (two months later!) that it was in fact fraud.

A key realization is that people don't buy computers (and phones) to run operating systems, or to run software. They buy computers to accomplish tasks. The software isn't what matters, completing the task in the manner they expect is.
People have been impressed by my ability to catch myself from slipping on ice, tripping, etc. I am not looking forward to when my performance degrades and I can't do it anymore.

There's certainly a viewpoint in athletic training and self-realization (e.g. "Outward Bound") that people often don't know what they are capable of, and anybody in that field has some demos they can get people to do that will usually blow them away but a lot of people get hurt and don't come back to trainers who don't respect their physical limitations.

And it can be gotten more uncensored on HuggingFace.

Not that I have evil intentions but the level of censorship on GPT is completely ridiculous. Even many innocent questions get the standard "I'm only an AI and I won't help you doing bad stuff" blurb now. OpenAI are really crazy overprotective of their darling.

I assume they want to avoid a repeat of the news headlines like "Microsoft's chatbot turns into Hitler" but really who cares. It didn't hurt Microsoft's AI efforts either. They just fixed it and continued. PS source link: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/microsoft-shuts-down-ai-chatbot...

I agree with these.

I think of the all the ORM's, I've ever used. Django was the greatest.

However django is living in the age of past glories.
The admin is extremely unacceptable for anything beyond trivial borderline trivial use cases, and the modifications you'd have to make are just awful especially the more interactive something needs to be. The extremely tight integration between models and the modeladmin is a blessing and curse.

The people who like Django,also tend to overload it to do everything. This makes sense at small companies. The only place I really see Django at large companies is as an api using DRF or something.

For internal admins, I've been lobbying to use https://directus.io/ at my company.
The author says the binary looks like malware because it self-deletes, sleeps and touches this uninstaller thing. But the script he proposes, which would be triggered by this same thing, does the same. I am ignoring the injection thing since he guesses at it (likely correct) and also because, lots of things inject into processes without being malware. (monitoring stuff like AV etc.)
Additionally, binaries which terminate with a run some script via a scripthost... this could just as well be some malware? (stage1 malware downloads script, runs it via scripthost?)

my question(s):
How is the proposed solution better than the original thing? Isn't this a case of using bad heuristics to determine maliciousness?

In the end, he goes a bit further, and sees its non-malicious. So, with a more elaborate rule or heuristic, wouldn't it be clear its not malicious?
And the second of those are mostly more served by buses.

There are probably a few city pairs here and there like maybe Seattle and Portland. But Amtrak mostly has utility for the two halves of the Northeast Corridor where it actually has quite a bit of utility. (The whole Boston to DC run is mostly too long relative to flying.)
What hardware and software would be recommended for a "good quality" local inference with a LLM on:

No. This was a strategic move.Strategy(specially when it works) looks superfluous but it is not.

There are strategic fields like food or semiconductors in which you need to assert independence or you will be blackmailed.

E.g Germany recently made strategic mistake using the gas from the Russian pipelines AND not building alternatives.

Had Germany built energy plants as alternatives, they would have not been used at all(because is is usually more expensive), so people like you would have called them "PR move".

Had Germany built alternatives that they could use, Russia would not have been as emboldened to invade Ukraine, and if Russia would had been stupid enough to invade anyway, Europe would not have paid the start of the war to Russia with overprices and Ukraine could have been given heavy weapons way sooner.

Europe has wasted tens of billions of euros by making such strategic mistakes.

The US is building semiconductors plants in the US. The objective is not to build semiconductors in the US if it is moreexpensive, the objective is be able to create semiconductors very fast if China invades Taiwan.
> You and all the others have to learn why touching the hot stove is a bad idea the same way most children do. It's frustrating to observe.

You say that while your ecosystem still can't get away from cutesy childish terms like "flakes" and "pills". Newsflash: nobody cares. I want "a package" and "a system".

I am not impressed. Before you look down on others make your own thing look uber-professional and then uproot any and all nerd-friendly marketing from it, now and forever. "It was in fact just a phase, mom" -- that's the aura that Nix should radiate before I give it a second chance.

Nix is supposed to solve a very serious problem and if it actually succeeds in that technical goal, the next step is for them to act like it. Very often you're marketing to CTOs or other tech executives -- working programmers are only one chunk of your audience. So that ecosystem has to do better -- starting with you. Your two comments here are basically a text-book argument against using Nix.

I've been a CTO and VP of Eng and I have skipped projects that can't sound professional. I know I have missed out on good stuff; I am very well aware. But we all have only 24h in a day, and only so much energy. We have to filter. One of my filters is: perceived / marketed professionalism.

(To be fair to all sides, I like the nixos.org website. I don't like practically anything else about the ecosystem though.)

> It's fine to criticise Nix for its various flaws, but any suggestion of an "alternative" that has learned nothing from it is just a collective waste of time.

Let's start with that one: nobody needed one more programming language. Nobody will "see the light" if every new technology requires one more knowledge investment. Somebody must tell you that programmers, DevOps, full-blown Ops, CTOs etc. are already overworked and already have to know and regularly catch up with way too much.

If Nix is aiming to help people work less on very annoying problems then it should, you, actually make them work less.

Nix's marketing is a complete mess. "We want you to think less about A and B so here, now learn, X, Y, Z and you should still know A and B -- but it gets better after, one day!".

Nah.

It's fine that you found technology that you love but your bias is very clearly visible and you lack the introspection skills to see that Nix is not that impressive.

Give me a `curl ... | bash` installer plus instant onboarding plus zero upkeep (an oft complaint about Nix btw) and I am sold. Anything less than that, to me you are just one more voice in a huge crowd where everyone screams "use my thing, it's amazing!".

Differentiate yourself and people will flock to you without you having to lift a finger. The fact that this hasn't happened yet is a strong hint that Nix fans are refusing to notice and take a lesson from.
Yes, absolutely know DRF. The only problem is that DRF adds another very heavy pile of documentation to read to start working with it, with some footguns (e.g. ModelSerializers being very very slow, at least some years ago).

I'd rather have DRF (a subset maybe) inside django. No external dependencies and integrated auth could enable interesting patterns like complete modularization of the admin panel, making it json api driven and making deploys very easy such as `python manage.py generateadmin` and you can load that on S3 or whatever.

I also know the existence of whitenoise + many workarounds, but python is already a quirky language, django has its own and its starting to have a huge chunk of incidental complexity (my last django project, very mature codebase, had like 3 libs to work with JWTs...) to work proficiently with. Not to mention the footguns of it!

People like options, but with opinionated frameworks I'd rather have lack of them.

Because it is written In the article. The whole article is about the fact that the observed symptoms hint at cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

From Wikipedia:

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a form of angiopathy in which amyloid beta peptide deposits in the walls of small to medium blood vessels of the central nervous system and meninges.

Also Wikipedia:

Pathogenic amyloids form when previously healthy proteins lose their normal structure and physiological functions (misfolding) and form fibrous deposits within and around cells. These protein misfolding and deposition processes disrupt the healthy function of tissues and organs.
Sounds like the article is incorrect. The relevant standard for EU-wide regulations is EN 50566:2013, which allows manufacturers to choose the separation with up to 25mm (most vendors standardized on 15mm because this is the maximum separation allowed under the FCC standard).

The french disagree with this standard and specify the limits at 0mm and 5mm separation, which obviously increases absorption. However, they did not increase the absorption limits accordingly.

Thus, actually most phones are out of compliance with the new french regulations (ANFR describes it as "a large proportion of phones" as being out of compliance, sounds like de-facto it's almost all). Since the EU is more of an advisory body and allows individual countries to set such limits individually, the EU has issued an application restriction which prohibits their usage in France (presumably until manufacturers patch TX power limits downwards as Apple will most likely do).

I guess you can describe that as an "EU limit" since it's an application restriction approved by the EU, but it's not the same limit as applies in the rest of the EU, it's a local application restriction issued at the request of french regulatory bodies applicable only in france.

https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/ANFR-Data-PDF-SAR-Eur...

https://www.anfr.fr/en/anfr/news/all-news/detail-of-the-news...

I can get behind removing the ambiguity of manufacturer-chosen testing distances and officially specifying this at 15mm. Or if you think that's unrealistic then 5mm and 0mm also make sense, but if you move the emitter closer you're gonna get a stronger signal and the SAR threshold should be adjusted accordingly. Which the french didn't do, because they're low-key catering to the "phones cause cancer" wackos here for political play.

But this isn't just an apple thing and there will be a patch reducing your signal strength for android too, most likely. iphones just get lots of media play.
All opinions are valid. this point isn't particularly special though.

In almost every lang you'll run into something that your aren't familiar with and you'll have to dive into something you aren't comfortable with. I had to dive into some C code when ruby decided to segfault. I've had to dive into Java JVM internals when working in Clojure.

So I'm not sure this is a "elixir" thing as much as a "I'm a developer thats supposed to know multiple languages and stacks" kinda thing.

This is why you need to actually say no to giant enterprise clients until your company is ready enough to weather the multi-year sales cycle with a strong revenue base outside of it, even if those enterprise parties are interested. I think a lot of B2B executives forget this lesson. A sales cycle your company is not ready for could kill it if attempted prematurely, even if it could theoretically close.

Ionizing radiation damages DNA. But microwaves do not emit any ionizing radiation. For a microwave to damage your DNA it would have to burn your flesh. Then you wouldn't be worried about cancer, you'd be worried that you just microwaved your arm until it started burning.

I'll +1. I'm generally a FOSS guy, so if Spotify hadn't helped so much in discovering new music that I really enjoy, I'd be potentially acquiring music via questionable means and just playing them as audio files directly.

There are two companies that have done well by Gabe Newell's "piracy is a service problem - not a price problem" position: Valve/Steam (who also contribute to FOSS through Proton and SteamOS which I heavily appreciate), and Spotify. Spotify makes discovering and aggregating music so easy that the alternatives don't seem appealing.
Doesn't the umlaut seem like a bad marketing decision?

Yes Unicode is cool, I'm glad we have it, I'm glad increasingly more things support it. I don't know the key combination for any character modifier off-hand, I usually copy these sorts of characters from google when I need them. It seems like it makes this framework unnecessarily harder to find.

They lost me immediately in section one. No idea what they are talking about.
I agree with OP - lots of survivorship bias here. To be fair to the author - going through the heaps of companies that didn't make it would be a sig more work.

Most likely the failed companies didn't find it but possibly were close or other issues sank the company. Curious actually if there are companies that found product market fit and didn't survive. That's an interesting group.
Then perhaps the distinction should be the programs called 'Windows installer' type in Explorer that TFA is talking about and not a blanket inclusion of all software that isn't ASM written on the device running it.
As I get older especially I find myself with less and less time to learn things that aren't somehow useful to my life, like game programming. It's sad.
> A big problem that the web has is that it has no standard for micro-transactions

As a user, that's not my problem. And a browser is supposed to be a user agent — acting in my interests on my behalf.

> however, you're a privileged individual that can probably afford to pay for YouTube or whatever else you need, whereas the poor can't afford it.

I can afford it but I have zero subscriptions. Why would I pay for something if I can get an even better experience for free with an ad blocker?

> Fact of the matter is that absolutely all browsers are funded directly by ads

Well maybe we should finally, at last, decide what the scope of the web should be, and stop uncontrollably expanding it into the operating system territory. It helps to remember that a browser is merely a hypertext document viewer with support for macros. Most people still treat it like one.

If browsers could be "finished" without requiring constant maintenance busy-work, maybe they won't need as much funding.

And by the way, the SerenityOS project is building its own web browser from scratch with a small team that runs mostly on sheer enthusiasm (and a whopping $110 000 in donations from two companies): https://ladybird.dev

Yes it's true you can still get leaded gasoline in some cases and you can still buy lead additive. My point was that it is very rare and for a daily driver it is for more convenient to update than to continue to try and force it to be generally available.

As for the website changes there has been a big push over the last several years for https everywhere, but of course https has been around for a long long time. So in addition to https everywhere there has been insecurities found in many of the early methods used. All of the ssl-based methods are considered insecure at this point and I believe the general recommendation is nothing lower than TLS 1.1 at an absolute minimum for compatibility. There is also the certificate signature algorithms that have changed over time and so forth.
Do you know where the sounds came from that you like so much? I think such a perspective is only reachable if you do not.

Yea, one of the main reason I often use VS Code instead of Jet Brains is that it supports just about every language in the same project. For example if I'm working on a Python project with a C++ component I can choose between using PyCharm which doesn't have C++ support of CLion with has very limited python support.
