We have built massive multi-user systems with no sudo at all. Every users had the privileges required to do what was necessary.

To me, the most useless use of sudo is for admin access. When people creates nominative accounts, which are allowed to sudo everything. So people ssh to the system (via per-user account), then sudo su -, to do stuff.

Surely, it made sense before ssh keys where introduced (where there even such a time ?), because we had a single root password. A security-minded people would use auditd to link the whole process tree with a specific ssh private key, regardless of the user used.

But again, sudo is still useful in some cases.
We’ve done pretty well with quantum theory as well, but when we try to integrate that with general relativity, we get nonsense answers. So at least one of those incredibly accurate, incredibly useful theories is incomplete or wrong in some way.

Dark matter seems to make up about 25% of the universe. It seems to obey general relativity (that’s how we inferred its existence), but not quantum mechanics (we cannot seem to interact with it electromagnetically, e.g. see or feel it).

Something is making distant galaxies accelerate away from us. Taken as an amount of energy, that’s about 70% of the universe. It’s accelerating a lot of mass! Often called dark energy.

This is all to say that despite our success with the physical theories we believe in today… we still have some pretty darn big unanswered questions in front of us. It seems a little early to be definitively ruling things out.

I'm gonna add that it is not super super well explained why did it stay that way either which was the curious part for me.
I did not consider the problem with joysticks. Did DOS flight simulators never support any more advanced joysticks, for instance by using the MIDI-based API that some later joysticks had, that still allowed the use of the game port but with any number of axis and buttons? Was that something that only happened in Windows 95?

But Dosbox is a bit more flexible than if you had to target actual DOS only on real hardware. A DOS game can support VESA modes up to 1920x1080 (at least?) in Dosbox-X for instance. Mapping extra joystick buttons to keyboard keys sounds like it should be possible on a modern machine? Supporting ancient DOS hardware sounds like fun ("fun"?), but I think more of Dosbox as a very stable and portable virtual machine. No need to be restricted to what would realistically work on a real old DOS computer.

> we have so many freaking fossils

Does that challenge that we only have fossils for “only a handful of individual animals across thousands of taxa per 100,000 years”?

Less than 0.1% of species wind up in the fossil record [1]. (I’ve heard but can’t reliably source 5% for animals.)

Most of those species existed far longer than we have. Hence why the astrophysicists who came up with the hypothesis ruled out fossils, much less fossils that would show evidence of industrial civilisation.

> no doubt human civilization is leaving its own behind that will be detectable millions of years from now

Sure, 2+ million, per the paper that sparked this.

> And TCP wants to pretend that all your data arrives as a linear stream one after the other;

That’s one of the reasons people use TCP.

> For example, when you are transferring a large file, you could use erasure encoding to just automatically deal with 5% package loss.

It’s never that simple. You can’t just add some erasure coding and have it automatically solve your problems. You now have to build an entire protocol around those packets to determine and track their order. You also need mechanisms to handle the case where packet loss exceeds what you can recover, which involves either restarting the transfer or a retransmission mechanism.

The number of little details you have to handle quickly explodes in complexity. Even in the best case scenario, you’d be paying a price to handle erasure coding on one end, the extra bandwidth of the overhead, and then decoding on the receiving end.

That’s a lot of complexity, engineering, debugging, and opportunities to introduce bugs, and for what gain? In the file transfer example, what would you actually gain by rolling your own entire transmission protocol with all this overhead?

> Fountain codes are how deep space probes send their data back. Latency is pretty terrible out to Jupiter or Mars.)

Fountain codes and even general erasure codes are not the right tool for this job. The loss of a digital packetized channel across the internet is very different than a noisy analog channel sent through space.

Violin plots are massively overhyped, IMHO. If your data is simple and unimodal, use a boxplot. If the distribution is more complicated and you need some detail, use a histogram or a ridge plot. Violin plots are never the best option; they're curvy so a little more pretty but don't do a good job of conveying information.
I guess this might be a regional thing, but where I live (in Finland) there's a healthy trade amongst parents with other local families for clothing and toys.

Facebook marketplace is used for this a lot, and also the local WhatsApp groups that you seem to find yourself in with the parents of your child's friends. The kinda group that has "Hey we're going to the park, who's coming?" and similar "local" stuff.

I know from the time our child was born up until at least the age of five we only really bought new clothes once a year or so - and that was exclusively the outwear (winter clothing for the snow and subzero temperatures).

I can't imagine going out to look for a dedicated marketplace for such things. There are charity shops nearby which are packed full of used clothes for kids up to the age of 11 or so - after that I guess fashion might lead to demands of new stuff.

I guess maybe if you have no local relatives, and your kids is the biggest/fattest in the class you might need special options. But otherwise the local trade of used stuff seems to be handled quite casually and happily - and that's what I remember from being a kid in the UK; my parents would throw big bags of used clothing from cousins, neighbours, and similar people at me now and again up until I was 12 or so.
Firstly, cloning a industry leading servo is no easy feat if the end result is within striking distance but the price is significantly less.

Secondly, internally, the clone motor appear to be superior on paper since it's using a brushless motor versus the original who's spec sheet says it's a carbon brushed motor, but that's just a speculation since until we can benchmark them side by side it's impossible to say exactly.

In Australia there is no tipping and the full price, including all fees and taxes, is the list price. So if you're in a bar and see a beer for $5 and you have $5 in your pocket, you can buy that beer. It speeds things up considerably because when paying for stuff, you can just tap your card. No need to click through a tip UI or fill out a receipt, just tap-and-go.

If it guarantees delivery and preserves order, what’s the difference vs. TCP?
Their protocol only uses cryptographic hash functions, which means that it's post-quantum secure. One reason why this is significant is because existing post-quantum public key algorithms such as SPHINCS+ use much larger keys than classic public key algorithms such as RSA or ECDH.

*Edit: As other have pointed out, for SPHINCS+ it's the signature size and not the key size that's significantly larger.
I imagine restaurant chains could make this their competitive advantage:

"No hidden costs. Service included. No tips expected. What you seen on the menu is the real price"

What link? The one directly below the title links to the authors about page. The next link down is a “google scholar” link which just links to a search for beyondcorp. The first link in said search is to a “dialnet.uniroja.es” site. Is this what I’m supposed to know to tap on?

Why not link straight to the pdf? The URL we’re commenting on certainly seems like it’s supposed to be the canonical URL for the publication on BeyondCorp, but it seems like all it does is show an abstract and a link for you to search for the actual publication. This seems kinda backwards.

More and more it seems of which, as it is in China these days, counterfeit. Whether the real stuff works or as much as claimed is not the issue. Spray painted or disguised components meant to look like the original plants, animal parts, fungus. Or worse a plant is substituted with something that looks or smells similar but will harm you. Plus using animal parts which can cause extinction of some species.
> Raise minimum wage for restaurant workers so they do not need the tip.

Servers at my mid-range restaurant bring in around $20 per hour in tips, on top of a base $16 minimum wage. So approximately $36 per hour is where you'd need it to land. Anything less and they ain't showing up. It is already hard enough to find anyone at that rate!
When I was a network guy I used to argue more in favor of letting everything we could over the internet. it was cheaper than the various private circuits, and more reliable than VPNs.

Then when I started programming I realized we can’t trust programmers to do anything safely. And I wanted to airgap everything, but ofcourse that’s ridiculous.

So while we should assume all endpoints are open to the internet, I don’t think we should actually let them be. That would be madness.

does anyone expect every printer and network managed light fixture to stay up to date and vulnerability free? Even if it does, do we trust the vendors to not start spying on their customers?

I suspect this was mostly about selling the enterprise on saas/the cloud/google office. And it worked.
As far as I can tell, what is really meant by “rebase is only possible for "private" commits.” is that for public commits, rebasing would require to coordinate with everyone interested in that branch.

This seems to be very similar to what you say with “requires some basic communication as to what is considered ‘tip’”

Requiring coordination (or a constrained model of allowed changes) when modifying things (such as what the tip/branch points to) is a general principle unrelated to git and applies to every workflow.

That said, I do understand that Meta’s centralized tool is more useful for your usecase.

I was confused before: parent post is talking about OpenEHR with an "H", which is different from OpenEMR.

Tipping isn’t illegal in Europe, and as someone who has worked in the service industry I don’t really like the idea of making it illegal either (Even if its just making asking for one illegal).

But IMO it should be a measure of the service provided not an expectation pushed on the customer. A nice gesture given by the customer.

I remember a visit to the States where I stayed with friends, so got to see “Real America”, not just tourist traps. On my visit when we were just chilling out I remember my friend’s parents ran a Limo service and the discussion they had because one rider hadn’t tipped the driver, and who they were going to call them up and demand a tip. I can remember thinking that shit just wouldn’t fly back home and if I got a call demanding a tip after the fact I would just laugh my head off and put the phone down.

But it’s a different culture I suppose, one I still can’t get my head around.

EDIT: I see how it would be hard to change right now, IMO it would have to be gradual. Servers can easily make more than their wage just in tips, removing tips and paying the staff the same "wage" as if they got tips would have to put that increase of costs on to the products, which the avg customer will baulk at even if they are paying the same overall.
