Linux still has AV scanners. MacOS still has AV scanners, the most common ones are just built-in and unbranded.

Everyone needs Ransomware scanners. Some Linux users and MacOS users rely on security through obscurity, which isn't actual security.

Even with the most rock solid and secure kernel, as long as software is allowed to run in userspace you need to detect when the user accidentally ran software they didn't intend to and/or that is trashing that user's space. You can't just delete a bad userspace, people store their files and increasingly their whole lives there.

You likely will never agree with me on this, but from what I've seen the NT Kernel is one of the most secure kernels on the planet in active mainstream usage. It doesn't have that reputation because the NT Kernel also paradoxically has to be the most open to plugins and third party drivers. People blame the NT Kernel for things the plugins and third party drivers get wrong. Every time Microsoft closes plugin APIs and moves drivers to userspace: companies and users get angry even as the overall security goes up. (That was the real "Vista problem": it moved too many drivers to userspace at once and hurt a lot of third party feelings and seemed to break a lot of hardware for a bit while things caught up.)

But you also don't really care how secure the kernel is because you don't live in kernel space, you live in userspace. You and everybody else also want to be able to run whatever software you want in userspace because you should be in control. (Yes, it's good to have control of your own userspace, that's a lovely freedom.) So Windows doesn't have a working central App Store today and users can still install software from anywhere they find it. That's considered a useful freedom. Things like Defender (ClamAV) and UAC (sudo) and more are still desirable tools that need to exist to protect userspace. (Tron fights for the users!) That's not a failing of OS security, that's a tool to protect user freedom. We know for a fact from mobile OSes that the alternative is locked down app stores, locked down file systems, and a lot less freedom in your userspace. Those are trade-offs we make every day now in which devices we prefer to which tasks. Neither is necessarily the best solution and it is nice being able to pick between systems with more user freedom for some tasks and systems with less for other tasks.

I don't expect you to agree with me and this discussion is close to arguing in circles at this point, but I still believe the reputation of Microsoft's "incompetence" is sorely over-exaggerated, in part by third parties that have always benefited from the platform's openness and predilection towards user freedoms over kernel lockdowns (and also some governmental oversight decisions that claimed to be for user freedom but mostly just lined the pockets of third parties while moving userspace security features out of the normal install for too long).

Avoid work-about-work with AI, Aiden v0.0.2
'Work-about-work' refers to all those pesky tasks that surround actual work, like unnecessary meetings, endless status updates, and hunting down information. These activities suck up our time, break our focus, and lead to burnout. According to Asana's research, a whopping 60% of our work time is spent on ‘work-about-work’ instead of real work. Crazy, right?

We start by introducing AI into standup meetings and making it Async. When we tested Aiden with our team, we saw a 60% reduction in meeting time and way more efficient task management.
Here's three different ways to write a small shell script that turns letters into uppercase:

Node:

process.stdin.on('end',

);

Python:

import sys
sys.stdout.write(
sys.stdin.read().upper()
)

Ruby:

Funny I worked for a place that, before I was there, was a major vendor of search engines for the porn industry despite the owner being a conservative mutual fund manager. (e.g. I had a poster for an ETN I liked on the wall of my office and it got taken down before he visited)

I know things went bad and I had something in my contract that I'd be immediately dismissed if I was found to have pornography on my laptop or any other computer belonging to the company.

I don't really understand how was JACK supposed to be used. On Windows or Mac you typically run a DAW and load plugins into it. But on Linux the user is supposed to run every plugin as a separate application and connect them using JACK? Doesn't this mean there would be lot of context switches? Also, in a DAW you can save your configuration, but how do you do this with JACK and a bunch of independent applications?

Also, given that Pulseadio and Pipewire both support ALSA clients, does it mean that the preferred API for applications should be ALSA? This way they can play sound on any system, even where there is no audio daemon.
I wish we didn't use euphemisms like "reproductive healthcare" when talking about abortion, because I don't know if this comment is suggesting there have been actual changes to healthcare for pregnant women, or just saying there have been more unwanted babies delivered that would have been killed in-utero previously.

I know that private equity purchases of healthcare companies have decreased access to healthcare in rural areas and decreased quality of care at many hospitals. I know that PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) have decreased access to medicines. I know that the AMA has restricted the number of OBGyn residency spots which keeps the number of doctors too small, and correspondingly overworked. I know that many experienced nurses left the field entirely during covid, due to hours/stress/pay/trauma leaving many hospitals and clinics understaffed and with inexperienced nurses barely out of school running wards.

Any of the things I listed in the second paragraph seem far more impactful than changing how many weeks pregnant a person can be to have an elective abortion, in terms of maternal deaths.
I've been to the place this was removed from, Huangcun, a small village half an hour from Tunxi in Anhui. Fantastic place - as in, like a fantasy setting. Covered in subtropical rainforest. Barely connected with reliable roads when I went - several landslides during the monsoon. Nearly every flat surface is a managed cascade of rice terraces filling in the 50-100m wide valleys between straight 30-60 degree slopes, climbing the hollows into the hills; It has apparently been in this configuration for literally thousands of years. The village is a densely packed cluster of old masonry buildings and new modern houses. The masonry ancestral temple survived the Cultural Revolution partially intact. Visitor accommodations are in a side building constructed much like Yin Yu Tan at around the same time period.

They were trying to use the Peabody Essex money to start a tourist industry there without it being as obscenely overdeveloped as the nearby World Heritage Site at Hongcun.
When I was in the military reserves, there were some guys who graduated High School and went straight into a minimum-wage job, working at Home Depot and the like. At first they thought it was great -- I have my own place! Sure, it's a room in a flat shared with three other guys, but it's mine! I have my own car! Sure, it's an old beater that guzzles gasoline, but it's mine! I can buy a Playstation and afford whatever game I want, and stay up as late as I want!

But pretty soon, once the novelty wears of, it begins to pale. I mean, I have my own place, sure, but it's with three other guys; not someplace I'd want my GF to move into, and definitely not a place to raise a kid. I have my own car, but it's a piece of junk. I can't really afford to go to concerts or long trips, all I can really afford to do is sit around at home and play games on my PS/2.

So, after 2-3 years they all started do things to make themselves more valuable to society: one took classes to become an EMT. Another took classes to become a fire fighter. They landed better, more stable jobs, and could afford to move into a nicer home, get better cars, attend concerts and sporting events, go on trips, start families.

That would be my ideal for how UBI would work: make sure people never have to chose between a bad job and starving or being on the street; but also make sure they have a clear path and opportunities to improve their situation and become more valuable to society.

Are there "deadbeats" who would just play video games for life? Sure, but there already are. I'm not sure how much those kinds of people contribute to society, even if they are working a minimum wage job to support their lifestyle.
Ok, Go generics is pretty limited but you can achieve this in C++ via concepts.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <type_traits>

// Concept to check for 'foo' field of type int
template <typename T>
concept HasFooInt = requires(T t) {
{ t.foo } -> std::convertible_to<int>;
};

// Concept to check for 'bar' field of type string
template <typename T>
concept HasBarString = requires(T t) {
{ t.bar } -> std::convertible_to<std::string>;
};

// Generic function that accepts T with either 'foo' or 'bar'
template <typename T>
requires HasFooInt<T> || HasBarString<T>
void printField(const T& t) {
if constexpr (HasFooInt<T>) {
std::cout << "foo: " << t.foo << std::endl;
} else if constexpr (HasBarString<T>) {
std::cout << "bar: " << t.bar << std::endl;
}
}

struct Foo {
int foo;
};

struct Bar {
std::string bar;
};

struct FooBar {
int foo;
std::string bar;
};

int main() {
Foo s1 { 42 };
Bar s2 { "hello" };
FooBar s3 { 100, "world" };

printField(s1); // prints: foo: 42
printField(s2); // prints: bar: hello
printField(s3); // prints: foo: 100 (prefers foo due to order of checks)

return 0;

Thank you for that. I was going to post something similar.

What the Apple engineers did was take obvious inspiration from what they saw at PARC but then ended up going in a different direction when they actually had to both implement it and make it workable as an OS. The overlapping windows is the most oft-cited innovation they came up with but there were many other perhaps more subtle ones.

The impression I have though is then that Gates basically copied Apple engineering, not PARC.
Well, there definitely are extremist feminists who just categorically hate men, which seems pretty toxic to me.

But most of those don't have a real type system though? And definitely not a strict one.
> I personally find systemd-networkd to be a tiny fraction of the headache that NetworkManager...

I find this take interesting, because NM automagically gets out of the way in both Debian and RedHat.

Any interface you define in /etc/network/interfaces is automatically "unmanaged" by NM in Debian, and since RedHat stores NM configs in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files directly, you can either create your own files, or edit already existing ones.

systemd-* doesn't have this magick and loves to compete and override other daemons silently and wreak havoc in the process.
I agree that the learning curve can be steep, but it's worth it. The key is to keep things simple for as long as possible. There isn't that much you REALLY NEED to get started and to grow up until you reach a critical mass of notes (>=500 IMHO). Avoid falling into the trap of focusing too much on the system and too little on get value out of it

There are vault templates you can start with and build upon, instead of trying to build your own system. Some are very basic, but others are more elaborate and better documented. I have to mention mine since I've been working quite a lot on it, based on my own usage as an author/blogger. It's called the Obsidian Starter Kit [0]. It includes a clear structure, templates, plugins, automation rules for easily creating and filing notes, and a detailed user guide going from theory to practice.

The key parts it includes and that I recommend are: a simple folder structure (I chose to combine Johnny Decimal and the PARA method of Tiago Forte out of habit), tags (to ease search), clear naming conventions (for consistency), templates that define the base structure for the different note types and include the base tags to recognize those.

The combination of links/backlinks, tags and Maps of Content (even simple indexes based on tags) is key to finding whatever you need whenever you need it.

Regarding the integration between Zotero and Obsidian, having looked into it a while ago, I would recommend importing what you need in Obsidian, and accepting that as duplicate information, but enabling you to centralize as much as you can (reference information) inside of Obsidian. It's all right if you capture highlights in Zotero (I do that with Readwise), but I consider those as "transient" knowledge inboxes. You can find a copy of my Zotero template in [2].

In my own system, described in [1], Obsidian is my single source of truth. The other apps (eg Zotero, Readwise, etc) are just secondary and limited in scope. The important point for me here is the ability to connect everything within a single tool, which is where KM really shines.

PS, I've described my system a while ago in this blog post [3].

Hope this helps!

The following was advice an accomplished PhD wrote to me discouraging me from co-founding Pretty Litter which would eventually become a billion dollar (sold to Mars) CPG business:
“here is some free consulting advice: you need to think very carefully through the economics and competitive environment of the cat litter business. At the end of the day there needs to be a real business, not just an exercise in PR and crowdfunding, and the risk-reward in cat litter is not at all appealing.

Cat litter is a commodity product, and there are huge brands that know how to manufacture, distribute, advertise, and market it at massive scale. There are already other color-changing cat litter products. Your team has zero expertise, IP, or competitive advantages in manufacturing, chemistry, consumer products, animal health, diagnostics, or distribution. Cat litter is not an industry that needs disruption.”
I fully agree!

Not at all like Guatamala and Mexico. At the time there was no united Germany though there were people who wanted that. There was German language. There was German culture. There were German settlements in different places. There were lots of differences and variety because of all of that, but there was something German about them all. And some people even wanted (and fought for) unification.

Instead compare 19th century German-speaking and cultured people with today's Sioux. The Sioux are split into two main language groups and many subgroups within those in different locations.

We can never quite decide the "correct" place to draw ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and geographic boundaries.

I recall stumbling upon this while trying to answer the question "can you tell if there's a risk of fire on one end of the extension cord by measuring temperature on the other?"

Turns out that no - at least not for any extension cord of practical length and design.

Copper is a great heat conductor, but not nearly as effective as a dedicated heat pipe. You'd have to run it along the length of the cord to get a temperature reading above noise.

Code is absolutely a liability. Code deteriorates as conditions change, and unchanged code also becomes more vulnerable in a way that conventional objects can't.

Single-client model is not bad because it doesn't require kernel to do the mixing, sample rate conversion and they can be moved to userspace (which Windows does these days as well [1]). The less code in kernel, the better.

With dependent types you still end up having to do dynamic checking of invariants for a substantial portion of real world code to construct the value with the properties you want. Anything coming from disk or network or a database etc. In practice I feel that it is far easier to just do manual dynamic checking with the constructor hidden from other modules such as `constructEmail :: string -> Email' which uses normal value level code, a common Haskell pattern. Obviously a little less flexible for the common dependent type examples of such as appending two vectors of a specific length.
such a bizarre article, its very odd to conflate trans issues with being fat.

I'll basically ignore that major part of the article and state this. Severe obesity reduces the life expectancy of 6-14 years. moderate obesity reduces life expectancy by 2-5 years. even the moderate case is worse than most chronic illnesses. I don't suggest that we go around being cruel to fat people, but the truth is you cannot accept obesity in the same way that you cannot accept cancer, its a disease killing you.

Of course there is commercial value. The cost of reshooting video materials is huge.

It's particularly crazy that people bet on decisions by individuals and small groups as opposed to the outcome of a contest.

Every ideology that promotes radical change, including extremely positive radical change, will develop some extremists and ideologues. Animal welfare groups have groups who would murder humans to save cows. Environmental groups have fringes that support eradication of human society. Feminism is not exempt from this phenomenon, and that's what's meant by a "toxic kind of feminist".

It is idiotic to paint the entire group using the pigment of these extremists, and this is what misogynists do when they talk about man-hating feminists and dig up some juicy quote from a Berkeley professor.

I find it useful to remind myself of this periodically to help avoid doing it myself, for example by fixating on (genuine) Nazi supporters of Trump and generalizing their views. I'm sure I do it with other groups I disagree with, too.
