No, OP doesn't. He has a meeting template that forces his reports to spin workplace white lies for an hour every month. This blogpost is just to show off how good he is at two faced managerial 'humanity'.

Spoilers for OP: Not actually that good. Half those questions are obvious traps, and in context make the other questions flagrantly suspicious. People at the bottom of the hierarchy understand "managing up" even if they don't have that word in their vocabulary.
That's intentional, and it can be very handy. Zip files were designed so that you make an archive self-extracting. They made it so that you could strap a self-extraction binary to the front of the archive, which - rather obviously - could never have been done if the executable code followed the archive.

But the thing is that the executable can be anything, so if what you want to do is to bundle an arbitrary application plus all its resources into a single file, all you need to do is zip up the resources and append the zipfile to the compiled executable. Then at runtime the application opens its own $0 as a zipfile. It Just Works.

Fwiw, I think the exhortation not to dilute the soap with water is equivalent to saying "our guarantees disappear when you add uncontrolled substances into this bottle"

Essentially: the warranty is void. Tap water can contain bacteria that a soap manufacturer can't possibly account for [1]

This actually makes a perfect analogy for the original post - even though there was no guarantee or warranty (it's free software) when you theme your computer, it makes dealing with bug reports difficult. It makes screenshots misleading.

If you want to theme your computer, they actually specifically say that's fine, but I imagine they would appreciate 1) noting what theme you use on screenshots (much like noting the prompt that generated an image) or removing the theme when taking screenshots and 2) try debugging and reproducing issues with the theme turned off.

If you're developing software and >50% of the bug reports you field are because people are doing something unsupported that is frustrating

Would that actually help your cause, since it would push people to build and distribute their own user agents which accepts self-signed certs/CA in a user-driven community without big corp oversight?
The halting problem is part of asymptotic analysis on this case.

Just like with elementary limits you never reach it but you approach it.

The halting problem on what we typically call computers decidable but not in practical time lines.

The fact that a TM is not physically realizable doesn't change that claim.

Logical conjunctions are an example of something that is difficult in PAC learning and we know it is at least super polynomial but we don't if there are tractable forms like Schaefer's dicotomy allowing for linear time solutions for HORNSat as an example.

The tooling that works for asymptotic analysis on deterministic Turing machines does not transfer to biological nurons, because they simply aren't deterministic Turing machines.

Neurobiologists are fully aware of the limitations of modeling cortical neurons as deterministic systems.

While in pop science that difference may not be popular it is the general consensus of experts.

Your claims that cortical neurons are the same as a deterministic Turing machine is not the best accepted theory today.

In fact recent research says that qbits are a closer model to cortical neurons.

You can't blindly carry over the properties of deterministic Turing machines to qbits.

As non-deterministic Turing machine s are typically assigned to the special case of the type of NTM that defines the complexity class NP, I won't complicate the conversation with trying to explain the implications.
Assuming you can find the part "full board replacement" may not be as bad as it sounds for a monitor. Your main point still stands though, ideally a faulty connector shouldn't require to replace anything besides the connector itself.
The first code example is on page 89.
> Regulatory capture happens more often with greater regulation.

No, it doesn’t.

Greater regulation happens more often with regulatory capture, because then the purpose of regulation is creating barriers to entry.
This is actually the mechanism behind Nix-Darwin's Homebrew support.

In Nix terms, it uses the module system to generate a Brewfile, and then it invokes the brew CLI against that file in the activation script.

Nix or no Nix, it's definitely a better way to use Homebrew than ad-hoc, imo!
> We could easily cut our use of fossil fuels if we weren't trying to balance that with an arbitrary GDP growth target

Believe it or not, only a handful of people genuinely care about "GDP growth targets" and they have very little influence on environmental policy. The reason why politicians oppose sweeping regulation to stop climate change is because they'd lose their jobs if they intentionally caused gas prices to rise or cause a recession.
Not to mention getting one and its parts outside of the EU is difficult and/or expensive. As a North American I'd be happy to hear if this is different now.
I was put in charge of a nonprofit org's IT recently. Decided to listen to the previous leader's praise about Office 365 [edit: oh, Microsoft 365], which they use. Turns out it's a mess with all this weird Outlook + Sharepoint overlap. I'm pretty confused, and the less technical people there are totally lost. Makes me appreciate GSuite more; I think MS just really knows how to sell to whoever's in charge.
That's why they qualified it.
Sure, but that just sounds like you're agreeing with qubex?

Not sure if there's something I'm missing here, but I don't see a contradiction between "the most powerful forces the world has ever seen will crush you if you change the current system" and "it's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of Capitalism." It sounds like you're both saying the same thing.

Again, I think it's reasonable to ask whether other economic systems if they were dominant would act the same way -- but... I mean, we are talking about Capitalism, that is the most dominant and most powerful economic system in the entire world and the status quo that the most powerful forces in the world see as the default system to preserve. And both you and qubex are saying that changing that system appears to be impossible even when faced with a global human catastrophe.
That's for sure, but what attack vectors do you imagine? If the bad actor, for example, is the owner of the document it can easily put a link to a malware that Google will not detect.
The Kaiser Strike Isn’t Your Typical Labor Action

While they’re non-deterministic at a token level, they’re also still pattern following systems.
Prompt Engineering is about (a) getting more deterministic outputs from the model, (b) using the models’ own bias to get more useful output, (c) refining the prompt to shorten it and reduce costs at scale, and (d) using them as building blocks for higher-level functionality.
As a disciple (if it can even be called that) it may very well disappear as the tech progresses.

> If they weren't, Delta would say so, since it makes them look better. That they won't say means the parts were used in service.

If that ends up being their final answer, with no future update either affirming or denying that the engines with the fraudulently documented parts had been on planes, I will agree with you. But of now, seems like they are in a state of “we haven’t any fraudulently documented parts in use, but we haven’t checked everything 100% yet to claim so without running a risk of being wrong and having to backtrack later.”

However, as these news just now came out, I think it is fair for them to say “we cannot confirm” at the moment (as long as a more concrete update is coming in the future). It is way less problematic to say “we cannot confirm” and update later with “everything is clear, all is good” or “we found fraudulently documented parts to be in use”, rather than claim one now before all the information is available, and then backtrack.

And as others have pointed out already - Delta said they were sure none of the aircraft currently operating use fraudulently documented parts, but obviously it takes more time to make sure that none of the aircraft had used fraudulently documented parts before.
I find it only slightly better than Tabasco. Tapatío is the go-to for me.
Distro creators and maintainers yes. End users when reporting bugs.

If you don't realize your distro is theming that's also something you should know.
Is that confirmed? Do you have any further sources on that? I am not questioning, just interested in learning more. I had kinda assumed that the new chips had new instructions that supported these features. Kinda lame if they are literally just gating them to new phones.
That's a false dichotomy. This is the old, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." It's possible to both believe people should have the right to do something annoying, and simultaneously wish they wouldn't.

Yes, because it's mandatory. If the HTTP/3 implementations allowed self-signed certs it'd be okay. But they don't. Or if HTTP/3 allowed the option of connections without TLS but defaulted to TLS, that'd be okay. But it doesn't.

They are more like a chef who asks the waiters to not add salt or pepper to the dish before serving it to customers, because the customers will blame the chef then. If the customer adds a ton of salt, then it's clearly their fault and the chef says he is fine with that.

> Believe it or not, only a handful of people genuinely care about “GDP growth targets” and they have very little influence on environmental policy

A large number of people with vast influence on all government policy care about the returns of their investments in existing incumbent industries, which in aggregate correlate very strongly with GDP growth, though.

Bill Gates-Backed Startup Launches AI Chatbot for Personalized Movie, Book Picks
When I was younger I worked at a restaurant and someone called in a bomb threat. Super fun. We all stood in parking lot looking at the build while we asked each other when it would blow up. I never did.

As I remember the guy who called in the threat did it from a convenience store pay phone where a cop was parked. They said they caught him minutes after he made the call.
"The most anomalously hot month ever so far," to repurpose a quote from a certain yellow father.

That sounds very helpful, and if AI can do it, then that's great. But also, it seems like rule based file restructuring should already be easily possible without AI. Shame something like that doesn't exist.
Yea, very similar issue with early Sig p320. But the lawsuits still keep coming in after it's mechanically impossible now.

Bro did Reddit/hacker-news on papyrus ...before the internet... :-D
It's incredible that we need to assist to this farce where it is pretended that thanks to the tech giants the web is becoming faster. The average web latency is terrible, and this because of the many useless framework/tracking layers imposed by such tech giants. And HTTP/3 is a terrible protocol: for minor improvements that are interesting only for the narrow-data-driven mentality of somebody in some Google office, the web lost its openness and simplicity. Google ruined the Internet piece by piece, with Adsense and AD-driven SERP results, with complexity, buying and destroying protocols one after the other, providing abandonware-alike free services stopping any potential competition and improvement.
Right. The big problem with accurately bisecting a 180 degree angle is you need to have access to points rather far in both directions from both points. If you want an accurate right-angle corner near the edge of a property that's flanked on two sides by fences, rivers, busy roads, etc., then you might not have convenient access to one of the anchor points needed to perform your bisection. (Or semi trucks snagging your rope might be inconvenient.)

The nice thing about Pythagorean triples for drawing out foundations is that you don't need access to any ground outside the foundation of your building. Being integers, you also don't need any measuring device apart from some rope. You just pace out a bit under 1/3 of the shortest side (or a bit under 1/5 the longest side, whichever is shorter) (call this an "'bout-right") length of rope. You then use your 'bout-right to make a 3'bout-right, a 4'bout-right, and a 5'bout-right piece of rope. Pull the three ropes tight in your perimeter, and you've got your right-angle for your foundation.
I don't know anything about regolith but if you are a distro that does theming, then you should do the QA yourself. Yes, that means you have to check every single package every single time it gets updated.

When I think about the scale of the problem I get the impression that only a commercial company that earns money would have the resources to do this. There is no way in hell you can get enough volunteers to do this in a reliable way.
It's true I was in a bit of a dramatic mood, but there really is truth in that statement; at tape-out (release), 0 known-bugs will exist. That's not to say 0 total bugs exist which, as you correctly point out, is obviously and demonstrably not true, but to the best knowledge of people working on the product at the time, it works perfectly.
Amazing how much good prefixing the title with "Distro maintainers:" would've done.

> I wish they hadn’t changed their name from the more evocative “International Earth Rotation Service”. It used to make me think, “What if we stopped paying them and they stopped cranking?”

They always had the single most impressive name for any organization, anywhere. It's a shame it changed.

Edit: typo
> if they just said "we'll close tickets for anything to do with theming" or similar, it'd be fine

Honestly, this is probably the best approach. It puts the onus back on the person making the modifications for things that they know and understand that are fundamentally trivial in nature.

> I'm sorry but just becuase you make some software that works together you don't get to designate it a platform and decide you should control it.

I don't see anything about this post as an attempt to exert control. I think it's pretty reasonable to ask that users don't theme their apps with the implication that if they do they're not going to get any support. But to your point they should probably just come right out and say that.
E-sports are more popular than traditional sports in Asia
I agree. I think it's mostly the overreactions that drive even more hysteria and fear. We had lockdowns due to a vehicle theft on the property, due to random drug sweeps, being inside with the blinds closed due to a sniper, etc. Nobody panicked or talked about nightmares, just as nobody did when taking precautions for things like fires with fire drills. They need to be providing context if these drills and hoaxes are causing these sorts of issues. Like here is the statistical likelihood of this happening to you vs that, at school vs at home, etc.

> Edit: Of course I didn’t read the article, but now I did and it’s somehow worse than I thought. “Why TCP is not optimal for today’s web”: no answers. There are literally no answers here. Other than, TCP is old. Old things are difficult.

I think you just didn't read the article period. That QUIC hides a lot of metadata that TCP doesn't was covered, for example, and there's stuff about multipath, etc. And clearly, yes, TCP is old, and a lot of the extensions done to it over the years (e.g., window scaling, SACK) are great but still not perfect (especially window scaling) and it's getting harder to improve the whole thing, and then there's congestion control. But TCP was never going to be replaced by SCTP because SCTP was a new protocol number above IP and that meant lots of middleboxes dropped it, so any new thing would have to be run over UDP, and it would have to be popular in the big tech set, else it wouldn't get deployed either.
It's more of a "don't fork, modify and distribute our code without QAing those changes and proving your own support."

There are a billion timers inside the kernel, not all of which can be changed. Some of them are #defined even.

In these days when machines are very large and always have several applications running, having an external network stack in the kernel violates the end-to-end principle. All of the policy about congestion, retrying, pacing, shaping, and flow control belong inside the application.

With "repairable" people mean repairs with freely available tools, parts and (ideally) schematics.

Apple and others put in a lot of effort to stop independent repair shops from sourcing original parts or making them impossible to successfully replace due to hardware DRM. It is already impossible to upgrade some Macs with more RAM because they will simply refuse to boot if they find more RAM than they got in the factory.
I think the second half of your comment argues against the first.

You're right that people are unwilling to make the basic changes that are obviously needed. But we only know precisely that those changes would work to fight against climate change because we are able to say with certainty that those behaviors are contributing factors.

Any suggested actions have to have some level of scientific credibility to be taken seriously. Without it, they are easily dismissed by claiming that the planet is too complex to know if our actions will make a difference.

That, purely by coincidence, I'm sure, has been the exact argument used against making any changes, and against the fact that warming was happening in the first place, and against tobaccos cancer risk, and any other public policy proposal that goes against the interest of those profiting from the status quo.

I love it when people say "there's no reason to do x" where x is a thing that the world's biggest companies spend billions of dollars doing. There are lots of reasons, you just don't like them.

The car release cycle is pretty much exactly what flagship phones do too. They get a major redesign every few years with incremental improvements in between.

The biggest reason is obvious: if you didn't your competitors would and they'd eat your lunch. Modern mobile devices are only 15 yrs old, they're where PCs were in 1995. I'm already seeing people who used to upgrade every two years switch to 3, and before you know it that will climb to 4, 5, etc. as the tech matures. In 1997 your PC was obsolete after two years, now they're fine a decade later, and phones will get there too.
> There are such obvious first steps we could take without a complete understanding of cause if we really cared.

Have you tried arguing people against eating meat? If we can't even talk them out of the main individual contributor to climate change, I don't think we have a good chance to make a positive impact on other areas that depend on conscious effort.
