Your last sentence betrays your entire argument.

“Windows has a lock on PC gaming because macOS isn’t available for PCs. Of course, macOS would have to radically chamge to be even remotely usable as a gaming competitor to Windows.”

If macOS is that bad for gaming, no gamer is going to use it even if it was available for PCs.
In Europe we would actually call him a ‘Social Democrat’, albeit a left leaning social democrat. Social Democratic parties are really popular in Europe. I think of them people that are really into equality (though not always when it comes to immigrants, refugees, and climate policy) but also favor capitalism. Bernie Sanders actually goes further in his social policies than many run-of-the-mill social democrats in Europe, which is why he would be left leaning.

I consider Social Democracy to be a rather confused ideology. But in Europe it is immensely popular. What is probably different is that capitalism is extremely popular in Europe, and in many ways Europe goes harder on free markets than even the USA, even trying to solve the climate crises with some capitalistic cap-and-trade scheme (Americans can think of western Europe as an extreme version of California).

In the USA, capitalism is only popular among the rich (and subsequently politicians). Politicians on both sides of the aisle are more focused on social issues (as are voters) so capitalism remains an unasked question when it comes to the polls. When you talk to a random economically informed working class person in Europe, chances are they favor capitalism. In America however (at least on the West Coast where I live) you’d be hard pressed to find a working class person that likes capitalism. However in the USA the social issues are so glaring that most voters seem to be OK with voting for a capitalist just to prevent a fascist getting power. In Europe this would be unthinkable.

This is why it is actually a bit confusing to put Bernie Sanders on the European political spectrum, because in Europe he actually would be a run-of-the-mill politician (albeit a bit left). In the USA, he is spectacular.
Such accusations should be backed up with facts and examples.
From afar, Caddy is one of those weird HN cargo cults.

It seems like in every thread about web servers, the developers are in here peddling their wares, and the disciples pour in with endless praise.

It's another product with insane footgun defaults (the admin API on localhost) in a sea of mature alternatives. That's all I need to know.

> creates an artificial sense of scarcity

It isn't artificial, you are consuming resources and have to pay for it. You are not renting hardware for full month but buying some time share. It is similar to electricity from grid vs solar panels.
Another reason why things are worse and they will keep getting worse.

About a toaster company:

"If you are passionate about toast, you will not work at a company that does not build toasters, that only does marketing. So my central thesis here is that if as an organization, you outsource too much with the idea that we will still retain the designers and our own power to innovate, it will not actually work.

The smart people will not work for your company, because you have turned into a marketing and financing exercise. And the smart engineers, they want to build better toasters, they want to touch actual stuff. So the thing is, there is a point of no return.

If as a company you have outsourced too much. No good engineer will still want to work for your company."

It's a gray area - most big companies will get cybersecurity insurance - Then the insurance company pays the ransom (assuming your policy covers it.). When working at a Small Cap financial services company, our policy cost north of $2MM a year.
I think I looked into the protein amounts back in my vegan days and was disappointed to discover that the amounts are fairly low. Maybe it depends on the type. Lots of other reasons for us to cultivate more mushrooms though. Mycelium Running outlines a lot of cool ideas.
Manual memory controls? What are those? Rust does not have "manual memory controls". You write the code so that the borrow checker does not complain. End of story.

In the CS world I find it interesting that innovative, high-benefit, systems development usually isn't enough to get a Ph.D. or tenure, but might be good enough to get a Turing award. I also think of Tim Berners-Lee, who as I understand it completed an undergraduate degree in physics.
Obviously everyone has to make their own decisions on tradeoffs, but for me there's no such thing as hardware good enough to put up with all the complications that Asahi Linux will face for some time to come (as they work to iron out all the kinks).
This is the closest thing to an answer.

The economy has essentially been ruined by looting. People finding ways to strip out assets from companies.

Variations on this include private equity racking up debt and bankrupting companies. Executives doing stock buybacks to boost their options while hollowing out the company's resources. Hedge fund management fees. It's everywhere.
This is correct, well-documented, and not talked about much.

Is it just me, or does the inclusion of a Microsoft Pluton HSM (and of course the AMD PSP) inside the SoC make this a no-go for security critical stuff?

I'm sure systems vendors will love putting these in Windows laptops (a growing market with a bright future, I'm sure) but I can't imagine hackers having much use for these things.

According to the FAQ it uses a Shamir Secret Sharing Scheme to split an encryption key. But you can actually use a Reed-Solomon scheme[1] and have no encryption key to achieve this objective.

First, you process the input data with an all-or-nothing transform (AONT)[2]. Then you split it into Reed-Solomon shares. AONT is required due to Reed-Solomon being vulnerable to a distinguisher[3] and it will most likely leak information about its input.

I don't see that taxing financial transactions would cause a phase change. Each financial transaction already has an associated cost of the people employed to create it, and yet complexity still grows. The real problem is that the financial industry has access to extreme amounts of cheap leverage, which forces everyone to play (aka the "everything bubble"). Witness all of the crying about interest rates having gone up a modest amount. Interest rates need to be held at least where they are long term, which is still lower than they were before they were dropped to distract from the needless and destructive conquering of Iraq.

I would say that eliminating tax deduction for advertising expenses is the wrong way to go about things as well. Adverting is a bona fide business expense, so it makes sense as a deduction. Rather, a direct tax should be levied on advertising, to account for the externalities of us all having to suffer the cacophony. This could even be done state-by-state rather than federally (a la sales tax).

Wholeheartedly agree on the certification. It blows my mind how cavalier people are about plugging Amazon's gensym branded products into mains power - especially given how shoddy even NRTL-tested products seem to be built!

You can have transaction taxes without penalizing small/micro investors.

It’s criminal how the people who trade stocks for a living get away with paying less taxes as a percentage than their janitors.
"All of these languages have different syntax and semantics from C, only interoperate indirectly with C, and are not systems languages because of restrictive memory management or garbage collection."

Sorry, but Rust, Ada, and D are definitely systems languages.

Low-level programming, operating systems, and embedded systems have been created in each to various degrees.

C for All looks interesting, but disregarding these languages as "not systems languages" because they are not C is disingenuous.
Indeed, many programs interpret a kill -HUP signal as a "re-read config" command.
It would improve things for everybody but the certificate authorities.

They're selling something with a marginal cost of zero for $50 each. A wildcard certificate costs more not because it is materially different or "harder" to issue, but because it replaces many $50 certificates. Thus, it "must" cost more, or everybody would just use wildcard certificates everywhere and reduce profits at the large public CAs.

It is actually possible to get a domain-specific CA like the one you're thinking of. I saw one at a large department of education. It allowed unlimited issuance of certificates such as HTTPS, mail-signing, document-signing, and some other types that could be locked to a DNS domain. However, there was still a cost per certificate and the up-front cost was huge, something like $100K.
I'm at one the companies that issued layoffs. It was dictated by VCs that there had to be a significant reduction in cost before they gave out additional funding.
If things work this way the solution seems to be relatively simple in that you put a boot on the booter's car and demand at least as much to take it off as the booter demands from you. When the booter approaches you to get his pound of flesh you take your pound of steel out of the boot (pun intended) and lock it to his truck. If he starts getting physical you call the cops and/or defend yourself. Given that this seems to be a form of legalised extortion it should be fought, not rewarded. Also, next time there is something to vote for vote for the politico who promises to do away with these practices.
The other “half” of the issue is getting the os, browsers, and devices to support the standard as well. That’s a whole other can of worms.

> Insert list of subsequent wars.

Like the Mexican–American War? OP's explanation of why US is the top-dog can't be whole story, but there's something to it. For example, it's hard to imagine the US would be half as powerful without the territorial gains made as a result of the conflicts surrounding the Mexican–American War (for example, by far the most economically important states are California & Texas!), yet at the same time virtually everyone agrees that the War was completely indefensible (Grant in a diary called it "one of the most unjust [war] ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation").
Honestly, the roller bottle approach seems pretty reasonable when they’re making sure that the process is making good chicken. They’ve at least reduced the problem to making giant sheets of chicken-paper.
I thought the exact same thing. Though I realize for me this might just be that I don't know what he means by "socket" - must be some product jargon that I haven't picked up yet.
Let the wars begin:

- Unity itself can hire dark botnets to beef up their profits at any time

- game developers need to start selling with the caveat "5 re-installs included" and of course you change the price to over-sell how many installs the average person does

- game developers are now incentivized to make huge huge huge game downloads for no good reason other than to make people think twice about uninstalling and reinstalling later since it takes so long

- steam and game distribution platforms now need to start limiting re-installs and downloads for everyone, more complexity, more hassle, more bugs

- everyone needs to start running whitelist firewalls again, since automatic private data exfiltration is getting so out of control we need to block all internet access by default now

https://nicolasbouliane.com/blog/digital-gardening

I like the metaphor of a digital garden. A garden is a work in progress, not a finished product. I publish things and refine them over time. Sorting posts by publishing date does not make sense if they get complete rewrites on occasion.

I have a "timeless posts" section above the stream for posts that are always worth a read. I also have sections for projects and recipes.

The website I live for is organised more like a knowledge base. I also review the content there frequently, even though I publish infrequently. You can find a link in my profile.
This is (unfortunately) very, very true. I don't have firsthand experience, thankfully, but 2x secondhand experience, and I cannot think about those two cases without getting tears in my eyes. It's not common, but uncommon things happen all the time in large populations.
The main problem with this take is that the US and China simply have different standards and rules for IP.

China is not "ignoring IP regulations"; they have different regulations. Both the US and China are parties to the WTO and Berne Convention and cases can and have been tried. The US has won many cases against China in the WTO; it hasn't done as well making cases for IP theft and protectionism, which is notable as this is a (relatively) neutral forum.
It didn’t even occur to me that ABS pipe is pretty much only used for drainage and vents. I think it’s still probably decent to have unrated pipe tear smoothly rather than rated pipe—over pressured—shatter?

I guess the pro move is to either (1) fully characterize the amount of pressure made from a random shot of hairspray, then choose a PVC pipe to accommodate, or (2) put a larger ABS sleeve over the inner PVC combustion chamber to contain the shrapnel.
I think your'e overemphasising how bad it is. I worked for quite some time as a computer tech fixing problems on-site and seeing exactly what issues customers face. I didn't come across too many "bad" clients. Now maybe this is because most customers could not call me directly, they had to log a call first but most people realise that your work is just as important as theirs is.

I don't disagree. Please don't take my statement as a defense of Unity. The intended implication was, "A market sans Unity is not a robust and competitive space, it's Unreal as a monopoly."

I don't know if there are many other options for mobile, but for XR (in this phase where UX norms are being hashed out), I really hope that people look beyond the two, and even dark horse Apple, to what Snap is doing. Even further: look at what people are doing with Dreams on the PS4/PS5 (https://twitter.com/MartinNebelong).

Part of why this hurts is that we let ourselves be taken in by a singular platform... again. Maybe standards with plenty of authoring options instead of cottage industries, next time.
I still do on occasions, but I can't at work. I miss it all the time, but in someways, and I hate saying it, but I have been more productive. I spent too much time changing my config, QoL improvements, and breaking things. The sick part is that I miss it sometimes. I thinks is due to Emacs being the only software I have worked[1] on that actually meant something to me.

[1] Worked on in the since of configurations, my own modes, packages, etc.. I have never contributed to Emacs the project.
Mine did; I'm still wearing them (I bought mine in 2016, and they haven't needed resoled yet) and the $100 boots I was wearing (US Navy authorized) would barely last a year. So for the $300 or so I paid then I got 6 years hard use out of them, and I'm still using them for stuff now that I don't wear them for work.

I have other pairs of dress shoes from Red Wing that are similar; I doubt I'll EVER need to replace them.

Note: the boots are style 2412, the shoes are a variety but the oldest are called MIL-1 Congress boots (Chelsea). I have a few pairs of a different style dress shoe from the heritage line as well.

This particular law is also intended to defeat the CA Coastal Commission, who basically think nobody should be allowed to live near the beach (except single family homeowners) and that the only way to maximize access is to cover it in parking lots.

This is not nearly the only housing law passed though; AB1633 is one of the most important for cities. A funny thing about that one is that it was written by reps from San Francisco and has clauses that specifically in writing punish San Francisco.

(In California, most voters do support more housing but still elect NIMBYs at local levels, while supporting laws that punish them at higher levels. The exception is LA, where they still don't support anything good ever.)

> The actual best image AI, midjourney, is probably a gigantic model under the hood, that takes 8 A100s to run

Google generally sells the ads on the SEO spam sites, so it actually does profit when it serves those results.
It works perfectly fine. You just copy and paste the code you need. If someone else needs it, they search the code base first, which is normal in large code bases. There are tons of different libraries that provide deep equality checks for instance. When I work in a code base, I need to search for existing solutions in the code base before adding someone new. It doesn’t matter if the functionality is provided by a first or third part library.
Is that approach information-theoretically secure? Shamir Secret Sharing is, and the mathematics is very simple.

Note that the encryption step is, strictly speaking, not necessary for Shamir either. But there are benefits to encrypting the secret and only using SSS for the key (I'm not sure if that's how Horcrux works, but that's how my fairly-similar tool Paperback[1] works).

Let's do some back of the envelope calculation using the asteroid that "killed" the dinosaurs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater

10 Km diameter, made of carbonaceous chondrite that has a density of 3g/cm^3, falling from sky at escape velocity of 11km/s https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=4%2F3*pi*%2810km%2F2%29... -> 9.5E22 J (Joules)

Total weight of atmosphere: 5.2 E18 Kg

Specific heat of air: 1.0E3 J/Kg°C

Assuming all energy went to the air, we get an increase of https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=9.5E22+J+%2F+5.2E18+Kg+... -> 18°C (32°F)

Assuming all energy went to the air, and you live in a nice place where the temperature is already 20°C(70°F) then the temperature increase to 40°C (100°F). That's bad, but you probably have time to jump into a lake if it's nearby (otherwise you are toasted).

This is mush less than an oven temperature like in the GP comment.

I am an adult and child psychiatrist. I see a mix of people but many very bright people or wealthy people. Some of my patients have used these services. They can be helpful as others said, doing some kind of prep and hand holding, mostly it's about starting the common app early and doing some more activities in HS.

The article alluded to a deeper challenge, how to motivate kids who have everything? I have treated kids like this, some of whom got more motivated and went to HYPBSC etc. But that is more like a therapist role. When these companies do those services, beyond working with the founder, it seems somewhat like psychiatry group practices where someone (hopefully good) hires a bunch of people to work under them. The head does not really know what they are doing but has some general supervision sometimes but a lot of it is you are just working with a less qualified person (who the founder is making $ off). for the record I don't have great love for that kind of practice and am old school solo practitioner dr.
