It’s true that sometimes an outsider can offer a fresh perspective. From where you sit, there might be a solution you can’t see. The nearest exit might be in the row behind you.

Maybe this applies more often when the one giving advice has more experience than the one receiving it, or when the person who is stuck has habituated a narrow perspective or some form of learned helplessness.

But I recoil at something I think I see more often, which is when several people stand around pointing out the obvious and congratulating each other on their fresh ideas and wondering what’s so hard for the guy who has lived the situation and would love to find a way forward if there were the right resources or the right change in policies or the right change in politics. The peanut gallery loses interest pretty quickly when faced with questions about the real constraints and it turns out their answers are not fresh at all.

But now we have someone who’s “marinating in the stuck,” surrounded by people who still agree with each other that they know how it should all be done but have now also been embarrassed.

It’s an ugly, toxic cycle that bottoms out at everyone constantly having their knowledge and competence questioned over things they know and can do, by people who don’t and can’t.

If someone is stuck, ask if you can help, sure. Ask what seems to be the trouble. Ask what has been tried so far. But maybe don’t lead with your advice.

Exactly. With being cloud portable you can take advantage of the pricing and new features that come with other cloud providers. Hetzner is for sure growing in popularity a lot.

I'm not sure I follow. Why would I want to "use" an mcu board the same way I use my linux desktop? It's not like I'm going to dynamically mount an SD card from a CLI for such an embedded device. Or that I would want to have a CLI at all. It is designed for early prototyping?
I use Home Assistant for doing most of what you're asking for. This integration works great for adjusting light level and temperature: https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting.

My home has an ERV and I use a couple Shelly relays (one for power and the other to boost airflow) integrated into HA to modulate the amount of fresh air I bring in, currently based on indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity. I don't have an air quality sensor, but if I had one I could easily integrate that into my automations.

Users understand the idea of an application "doing things in the background". Multitasking operating systems have been a thing for decades.

If the user doesn't want that happening for a particular application, the user should be able to turn it off. Mobile OSes have given way too much control over to developers. Whose device is it anyway? The user's or the app developer's?
How would that work on embedded videos on sites outside of YouTube/Google, which is what the parent comment is talking about?
Problem is mid-high end Windows PC from 10 years ago with SSD and enough RAM is indistinguishable from 2024 PC for many, many workloads. Btw. I'm alternating between 2012 i7 and 2023 i7 on a daily basis and wish difference would be larger for me but it's not. It's not like a situation with 286/386/486 at all. There are zero benefits in upgrading these machines for majority of users. Sure, if you do video encoding or something similar difference can be huge. But for general development, document editing, multimedia/browsing, it's all the same. That's why this forced upgrade stinks.

And Apple stinks too, but we're not arguing that here.
Music streaming has started to splinter though. Apple has had some exclusive content for years. Spotify has exclusive podcasts and clearly prioritizes record label artists over indies.

Within the next year, I expect some of these streaming services to wholly own AI artists and promote them to users so they don’t have to pay any royalties.

The story was not so linear, though. These new 16 bit machines (8080 & 8086) were useless without an OS. They needed it badly and fast.

86-DOS/PC-DOS/MS-DOS was born as a kind of throw-away OS to fill this hole temporarily. Microsoft was betting hard at the time on another OS called Xenix, which was Unix-based!

Then, somehow the industry decided that DOS was good enough, it lasted ~15+ years and this made Microsoft a fortune.

In the end, Bill Gates saw a business opportunity and acted quickly and ruthlessly. Gary Kindall, on the other hand, delayed the initial CP/M-86 development for too long.

By an irony of fate, Gary Kindall spent the rest of his career anticipating and innovating software concepts (Multiuser, Multitasking, Graphics Environment Manager, even the first encyclopedia on CD-ROM, ten years before MS Encarta) but somehow the timing was always wrong and all this never marked the return of the first CP/M glory days.

Gary Kindall was the greatest PC software pioneer, and as the old saying goes: “Pioneers take the arrows, settlers take the land”.

The main problem with disabling third-party cookies is that for certain applications (especially those using iframes and enterprise apps are full of iframes), the proposed alternatives have bugs.

Interestingly, Firefox does have these bugs, but these apps will not work on Firefox due to other issues.

Actually, it’s not clear whether these are bugs or just different interpretations of the specifications
no it IS more accurate. When i am off-roading i always record my track and have to unplug my phone from the trucks system to get an accurate un-smoothed track.

google maps does weird things but gaia just uses the raw GPS data from the phone and doesn't snap, however when you are plugged into carplay the phone seems to always consider the car/trucks data more accurate even when its clearly not.

this could very well my specific truck (dealer has refused to look and i don't have another to compare to) or a general tacoma thing but it both smooths the GPS data to make "nicer" looking lines and often introduces drift over time as likely some processing it does compounds an error

(i also realize i said the wrong phone, iphone 14 not 12 but even with the 12 it was notably better then the truck but the 14 pro has a much improved GPS and it shows)

Why you need 3rd party vendors where some of them introduces vulnerabilities when you have built-in Windows Defender and Firewall?

Or you love those popups from 3rd party vendors?
so I don't fully understand what you're preventing

const db = await openDatabase();
const keyPair = await getKeyPair(db);
await crypto.subtle.exportKey("jwk", keyPair.privateKey)

exports the private key if I have a XSS vuln.

The recommendation for IP address in the JWT is good, but I don't understand your last recommendation of 1) sending the JWT, 2) additionally sending the base64 JWT in a header 3) sending the signature in the header. The crypto.subtle api only works on https domains so you're not defending against mitm attacks on unsecure networks either. And if we can't trust TLS what can we trust on the web?
Local maxima and sunk costs should not in reality be ignored. For example, I could find a better job, but with opportunity costs of paying less attention to my health or my family for a couple of years, and it may be difficult to fully recapture these opportunities later. Or say, I made an effort to get to know my current coworkers well. New job may have better pay and more respect from higher ups, but that's still one thing where I would have to start from scratch with no guarantee of equally good results.

It's one thing to look at each problem in isolation, it's another to live a good life overall, which may entail many tradeoffs between different problems.

>Because the computer clock advanced past a date which triggers bugs or limitations on some component, and it cannot be adjusted backwards without a full reinstall, or it's talking to networked services which expect the clock to be close enough to reality. It might be possible to fix with third-party updates, but that's no longer "without updates".

This is possible with any piece of software. I don't know if Windows 95 will work after the year 9999, nor do I think it's a scenario we should really worry about.

>And if you need a reinstall, the online account requirement and/or activation servers being turned off might make it hard without third-party modifications.

The online account requirement can be bypassed with a command line option during setup. It does also have some fail safe processing that catches if the online account login fails, falling back to an offline account option.

In terms of activation, you can use Windows 10 or 11 without activating it, but you'll end up with a watermark on the desktop.

Windows XP was the first Windows version to use activation, and it's still possible to activate it via the telephone 22+ years later, so it's likely the activation process for Windows 10 and 11 will continue for some years.

But there are still millions of 32-bit CPUs out there which could be used but are landfill fodder now. Think of all the e-waste!

There's far more to hardware requirements than clock rate and memory capacity. If the hardware doesn't support some feature deemed important adding another stick of RAM won't solve the problem.

The Price of Immortality
Says who, or why not?

This seems like an obvious case of governmental corruption if the answer is "some law that 99.999% of people are harmed by, but makes a handful of hollywood billionaires richer".

If the current laws are bad (and they are) we should get rid of them with more consumer friendly ones. If congress is too corrupt to pass those laws, we as citizens should nullify them by collectively refusing to enforce them, whether as jurors, prosecutors, or employees of media or telecom companies.
Would you rather they deprecate manifest v2 without reaching out to developers to migrate?
They're objectively not any less capitalist than a private company with restrictions on share transfers.
It's more a testament to "Do really dumb shit and find out". Cybertruck (as the article points out) is a mess, and was a bad idea from the start.

The fact the stock is above $50 a share is a testament to how Elon hypes investors. He really has them sold on robotaxi and FSD licensing now.
None. Windows Defender is actually quite good and the third party options are so bad I'd argue in many cases you're worse off having them installed.
That's not quiet, either. But the sounds from the brakes carry much further, at least for my city's fleet.
I agree with you, but I do think it's fallacious to zero in on Salesforce in the example. That wasn't (likely) intended as a defense of Salesforce, it was just an example showing that there is a long historical usage of third party cookies that aren't purely for ads and tracking. It's impossible to predict how many things might break for people. For me (a uMatrix user and Firefox user) it will be zero. But for people who work and compute inside a corporate office using internal software that was "optimized for IE 6" but they still need to do their job, and the customers they serve (I have no doubt there would be plenty of government offices that will have to tell citizens who need government services to go pound sand), it will be highly disruptive. Dismissing all of those people and use cases with "who cares about Salesforce" is myopic and (for anyone with decision making ability) deeply irresponsible.

That said, this has been on the table now for years so it's time for the operators of these old apps to feel the heat. The Times They Are A-Changin'
Biden said he will sign it this morning. Nobody can undo it without a new bill passing through congress to undo it.
Do a CTRL-F (or CMD-F) through these comments and look for the word "refuse". It comes up way too often. This seems to be a huge problem: Apps taking it upon themselves to "refuse to work" until the user gives in to their demands. It's like a hostage negotiation. Developers really shouldn't have the power to say "well I'm in charge, user, not you, so fuck off."

>> Sorry about that, I'm dealing with a troll on another thread so I'm on a bit of a hair trigger.

Hey, no worries. Thanks for being a gentleman and I'm sorry you're being harassed. Btw, just to be clear: I'm perfectly fine with robust disagreement, I just don't deal well with personal attacks; which you didn't do, I was just worried that's where this conversation was going.

So, thanks for the very detailed analysis of your argument. That indeed makes it much simpler to find common ground. Here's where I disagree: point number 2!

Here's why. It's obvious to me that it's entirely possible to have two distinct models of the same process that compute almost identical results, so it's entirely possible for humans to be using a completely different process to catch balls etc, than kinematic equations.

And here's why I think this is likely: first, because of the point I made above about computational complexity and second because of the observed wide variability in the uh, let's say kinematic capabilities of different humans. If we were all solving kinematic equations, we would all have the same skills. What's more: humans can be wildly inaccurate in their motions (I know I am; don't leave coffee cups on my desk), while robots for example, are distinctly not. That also points to a different computation.

So, to summarise my argument: what we do needs neither be the same computational process, nor be computing the same results, as kinematic equations.

Btw, I'm a bit confused because I thought you were talking about kinematics in classical mechanics, but now I think you're talking about kinematics in robotics, with muscle actions etc. But I think both apply, except the robotics equations are I think much easier to solve than the classical mechanics ones, which I suspect may veer off into the chaotic.

Edit: I had more here on my _agreement_ to your point number 4, but I'm cutting it down to shorten the comment. You don't have all day :)

In any case, I think we just can't say for sure what our brains do, until we can say for sure.

I mean, it's the only meaningful way of punishing the company/site. It becomes unusable, people don't contribute anything further because it stops being a hub/valuable site, and eventually their costs outweigh their benefits. That last bit is probably a pipe dream, but saying "Oh well, might as well still enrich them with my knowledge/contributions" doesn't seem like an alternative.
> Incidentally co-ops are not mutually exclusive with Capitalism (private property + market economy),

As I just explained, that's not what capitalism is. Capitalism is a relatively new invention (~500 years) that arose from the ashes of feudalism. Exact same economic structure. Different exploiters.

Consider this: markets exist in supposedly non-capitalist countries. They existed in the Communist bloc. We've got cuneiform tablets describing markets going back 5000+ years. Capitalism didn't create markets or a market economy.

This is what I mean when I say that not only do people not know what scoaialism is, they don't know what capitalism is either. Yet the instinct to defend it is so strong, particularly in Americans. That too is relatively new. Abraham Lincoln was a Marxist, for example.

> People don't want to live like the Amish.

Who says they have to? We can point to an example of people living co-operatively in, oh I don't know, the article of this submission?

> The right to private property + market economy.

Then why did market economies exist before and outside capitalism? Private property is a core tenet of liberalism (which really means "neoliberalism" today). Private property in capitalism can be more accurately traced back to enclosures, which are really an evolution of land grants under feudalism.
the only time i am paying attention is when off-roading and recording a track, and then its very obvious when the GPS is doing a good or bad job and unplugged from carplay i get a far more accurate track.

Socialism as practiced also implies heavy centralized planning to mandate these arrangements and then set price floors and ceilings to set production capacity.

The Amish tend to reject social ownership of land so they are not socialist or communist by any means. Distributist would probably be the best description with any mention in the literature.
