He was right to do so. Give people an easy way out of designing for a new interface and they won't design for it. It's the same reason why they didn't do a stylus for iPhones and iPads early on. If they had, the overwhelming "touch" design language would have favored small stylus size targets instead of large finger sized ones. Similarly, when they shipped USB on the iMacs, that was the only peripheral port for the first 2 versions. And when they finally added more than USB, it was to add the new Firewire, not to add any legacy ports back.

Would the Wii have done as well with motion controlled games if defaulting to a playstation style controller was doable out of the box? How many pieces of old software and technology stay around despite better modern replacements because defaulting to the familiar original is easier?

Not everything new is obviously better, and new doesn't mean it should necessarily replace what came before. But new needs dedication to giving it a fair shake, and sometimes that requires going all in on the new and making going back to the old difficult.

Hi. I recently took over engineering at Postmark. Noted! Thanks for the feedback.
Those with purchasing 'influence' might. Accounts payable? No.
> We also found that the bug in the code was inadvertently remediated when engineering completed a user-experience enhancement project that collapsed multiple random value generation microservices into a single service.

Interesting. What is the value of a microservice that generates random numbers over just using a language's SecureRandom equivalent?

I have low expectations from C-level executives. But this incident and his response to it has changed my perspective of them just slightly.

It's a rare incident where a C-level executive actually takes accountability for their fuck up. Shit rolls down hill. He is very likely to end up taking the helm at another place or startup on his own. He is the exact opposite of the CrowdStrike CEO (George Kurtz) that caused an absolute shitstorm compared to DigiCert incident.
I believe the primary issue with using full-text search in PostgreSQL is its performance and scalability limitations.

Elasticsearch/OpenSearch offers more than just search functionality; they come with extensive ecosystems, including ELK for logging and processors for ETL pipelines. These platforms are powerful and provide out-of-the-box solutions for developers. However, as the article mentioned, scaling them up or out can be costly.

ParadeDB looks like is based on tantivy(https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy) which is an impressive project. We leverage it to implement full-text indexing for GreptimeDB too (https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb). Nevertheless, building full-text indexes with Tantivy is still resource-intensive. This is why Grafana Loki, which only indexes tags instead of building full-text indexes, is popular in the observability space. In GreptimeDB, we offer users the flexibility to choose whether to build full-text indexes for text fields, while always creating inverted indexes for tags.
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. Recently took over Postmark's engineering and interested in seeing where we can do better as we keep building.
How about a simple "The stock market is not the economy?"

For DNS managers, it’s a known thing to restrict the use of domains that start with _. It’s effectively a reserved keyword.

In this case, a sophisticated attacker can get certificates for domains they don’t control by abusing this.
> the process and policies are the issue

Those processes and policies are set by someone.

From his resignation:

> This incident made me realize that I am no longer the person for this role.

Seems reasonable.

I also find it ironic to discourage this because of the precedent it sets. That’s making him responsible for things out of his control.
I think this comment from the thread sums it up:

“When DigiCert has another incident (and while I have tremendous faith in Tim, it will happen), I would rather that they have Jeremy Rowley with his wisdom and scar tissue around to guide their response and subsequent improvement.”

The demise of Lacros indicates to me that CrOS is dead as an independent project. Inertia will keep it going for a while but in the long run it is doomed to be subsumed by Android in an unsatisfying way. Which is what a lot of people have predicted for a long time. I think they will eventually be right.

I’ve been regularly watching Asianometry. New semiconductor ideas that only get implemented decades later is a pretty consistent theme. Memsistors will happen if and only if they solve a critical problem for the chip industry as a whole.

That might happen in the future. Or not. Nobody knows what will be the roadmap twenty years hence. Maybe memsistors will be the right technology. Maybe something better will come along. Good luck.
> Nothing stopped anyone, including yourself, from modifying or forking a distro like Fedora to make it support non-systemd

Pottering et al went out of their way to make this harder than it would otherwise be (e.g. adding the gnome hard-dependency on logind which they then variously claimed was necessary, was unintended, was accidental...)

Nothing's stopping me from modifying Windows to do what I want either, it's just hard. There was a time when Linux people cared about whether their systems were easy to modify.

What difference does it make? A blockade is an act of war, regardless. Also, a blockade can jeopardize human life just as much as an invasion. Only "civilized" thing to do is to let sovereign states live as they want (so long as they aren't harming people) and enjoy their sovereignty.

I suppose the definition of "harming people" is debatable and part of the challenge, generally speaking. However, in the case of Taiwan, I think it's pretty clear that this is just a national pride/greed based expansion prospect, and they are willing to sacrifice/oppress human lives out of that pride and greed. Humans suck.

> We note that other customers have also initiated legal action against us to block revocation.

How can it make economic sense to initiate a lawsuit rather than just get new certificates?
Kids still get driven to school in cities.
Maybe some mobile apps or IoT hardware with pinned certs that would all need to be rolled first? So they could get a new cert immediately but still need the old one for a while until the roll over completes.

The S&P dropped 2% on Thursday and 1.9% on Friday and 2.9% on Monday. Initial jobless claims report was Thursday, and the employment report plus unemployment data was Friday. Monday was a continuation of fears around the US economy because the US trading day started with Chicago’s fed reserve president saying that the jobs report was bad but that they are not going to react, at a time when many were calling for them to take emergency action. I agree that there are other factors like unwinding carry trades and global conflicts, but most news articles seem to say Monday’s drop was due to fears of a US recession.
Probably less than it might. I expect microkernels to eventually displace Linux, whether explicitly or by gradually turning Linux into a microkernel.

> You will not even have to worry about going to YouTube downloading websites, we can process videos straight from it.

I assume you use yt-dlp for this? In that case, look out for suddenly having your server IP banned by YouTube. I was running yt-dlp on a server for a long time (many months) and then one day it stopped working. And I wasn’t even auto-downloading videos. They were all manually triggered by me, to save copies of videos that I liked. So in total I was downloading far fewer videos on the server than the number of videos I was watching on my phone via the YouTube app on the phone.
How about no dictator at all. You rather want to live in a life if fear, without no guarantees of your life, or never knowing when you land in her secret prison for rest of your life, be her guest. But not here.

And she have few hundreds of political prisoners.

And how do you know you are not her enemy? You don't have to do much to be her enemy. And she's a enabler of corrupted goons.

And also no freedom of speech. Simple, one of her goons think he needs to punish you, he just say this person said something offensive against her or her daddy or any of her family, ta-da you land in the jail. And congrats, it's a hell on earth, enjoy your stay.

Have you lived the way we lived last 3 weeks? You surely haven't.

She destroyed our education sector, and financial institution. So no, we don't want her, nor any dictator.

Nah, it stayed flaky well past then.

No it wasn't. It was just one more annoying option in the list.

That was a misconfiguration that was possible to do in some systems, sure. There were plenty that avoided it.

I don't think there is a single treatment that cures everyone's acne. Everyone's body is different (for the same reason some people suffer from acne to varying degrees while others don't).

Actually, I think eating a perfect diet (no sugar, no grains, lots of vegetables, etc) may work for most people, but that is too inconvenient and expensive compared to the other protocols I ended up using. And even then, one person's perfect diet may not be the same as another person's perfect diet.

---

I used to get severe, deep cystic acne (mostly on my face, but also chest, back, and scalp). Topical treatments didn't seem to work. (I tried so many different treatments: topical, internal, diet, skin brushing, acupuncture, etc)

There were only two treatments that seemed to work:

1. Regular antibiotics to kill the P. Acnes bacteria.

2. OR low-dosage Isotretinoin (Accutane) to restrict the bacteria's food source. (My face is naturally so oily people mistake it for sweat.)

Recently, I think I found a third treatment that seems to work for me:

- DIM supplements to help regulate hormone levels. (Specifically estrogen, even though I'm a guy)

- After 7+ months my deep, severe cystic acne hasn't returned. (I do still get a "normal amount" of smaller non-cystic acne on my face and acne on my scalp near the neck but it's relatively minor compared to the severe deep cystic acne I used to suffer from.)

My acne took one to three months to surface (if I stopped one of the successful treatments, it would take up to three months before cystic acne started appearing again. Then it would take up to three months after re-starting the treatment to eliminate the cystic acne.)

Well some indices confirmed it was a correction:
https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/futures-slide-amazon-inte...

> the Nasdaq Composite confirmed it was in correction territory after a soft jobs report stoked fears of an oncoming recession

My point was that it was explicitly a correction and officially confirmed as such for some indices, and that the label of “minor” is more of an opinion or spin.
Yes, I know. It was a joke.
Microsoft is able to keep GitHub and npmjs.com online, despite all the DDoS attacks. It requires a huge amount of servers, bandwidth etc, to have all the repos, downloads, etc online. Having those online makes coding FOSS possible.

There are some FOSS alternatives to GitHub, but they have had more problems staying online.
> Never has it been easier for me to setup a binary as a service. I dread the memories of customizing or writing init scripts and dependencies.

Bipping? Had to google that.

"Bipping is a slang term for a type of car break-in in San Francisco that involves breaking into unattended cars with little noise. The term may have originated from the sound of breaking porcelain sparkplug pieces thrown at car windows, but today thieves more often use a rescue car escape tool called a resqme device."
> something involving physical assets/hardware?

Very interesting. So unless it’s purely software and the $current bandwagon, then it’s out? Better not to try then. As an engineer, all my ideas involve hardware and robotics too. Sure, software is there, but it’s definitely not the only thing.
You can’t trust Microsoft about open source which has de facto monopoly on the desktop market with its closed operating system if you say it’s about ’values’.
What I’d like to see is an algorithmically controlled middle-ground that cuts out most of the pauses but also leaves natural pauses every now and then to give breathing room.

Basically a kind of auto-edit that helps give natural flow with breaks for the audience to absorb the material.

Think of fluent public speakers. Some of them speak in a way that their words are confident and coherent while not being just a constant stream of words.

For example Steve Jobs. If my memory of watching him speak on video, he speaks but he also takes plenty of pauses in between. (Presentations that he had rehearsed over and over before walking on stage and giving them.)

That kind of thing would be magic to have automatically done by the editor.
No. This is your presumably tech-informed “any regulation that gets in the way of my passing intuition of what’s good is TERRIBLE!” Have you been in a city as dense as (parts of) Japan with completely unregulated use of vehicles like this? It gets quite bad quite quickly. I say this as someone that uses an electric scooter regularly. It’s quite easy for there to be a high enough concentration of idiots doing the wrong thing that it’s not worth it overall. Putting some rules around use is just the intuitive reaction to this, learned by countless jurisdictions worldwide.
We don't know what happened in those board rooms between CISO and CEO. It's not clear if this was _strongly_ impressed upon Jeremy to resign because the market needs a blood sacrifice; or if Jeremy really did on his own will commit the corporate equivalent of seppuku. In the wake of bringing great shame, he just felt it no longer necessary for him to lead them to the future.

Honestly, I can understand that. I can respect it too. I can imagine the stress over that period of time being very high. Personal attacks, business attacks, mounting legal issues from business _partners_. We work in computers sitting on our ass. We are not used to these stressful events. This was probably Jermey's _stress test_ and he unfortunately broke.

I just hope he finds another gig or maybe starts up something on his own. I would probably follow him.
One part of what NASA did was have every line of code reviewed by many people, including someone whose sole job was to make sure the comments matched the code and vice versa.

Does replacing the CISO actually make the system more secure?

Counterintuitively, probably yes. Tone flows from the top down, and if you want to change the tone you need to start at the top. It's very difficult to try and build a coalition to change the system from underneath.

Presumably he had a lot of tribal knowledge built-up and who is going to know the system better than him?

Likely he has a lot of political influence and knowledge of the system and for lasting change all of that has to go. If it has gotten that bad it's no good and needs to be swept away.
Any idea how “OpenSearch serverless collections” are implemented? I’m guessing that a “collection” is basically an ElasticSearch index, and “serverless” refers to some method of serializing/loading it on-demand with some cold start tradeoffs?

Respectfully, you’re almost certainly going to the wrong parts. My source is that I grew up inside Boston and now reside inside SF.

Boston is amazing, and I love it. But SF is too. For similar reasons. SF is a city of neighborhoods. If you’re going to downtown, or any of the business centers, you’re not getting the good parts. The enjoyable nice parts of SF are all residential. Because of the hills, each residential neighborhood (a valley) has its own unique commercial street full of shops and restaurants, surrounded by beautiful old townhomes, and as you go up the hills you get vistas and nice homes. The city quality is inversely correlated with office space.

Boston has similar historic driving forces - instead of hills, it used to be a city of (now infilled) peninsulas. You get wonderful old homes in Boston, and lots of streets full of shops. Instead of tech money (which Boston also has) it was overrun first by the education industry, which anchors many neighborhoods today.
I guess you use Parinfer and structure editing, which is really cool!
One also wonders WTF Apple has against Delete keys. It's infuriating. Mac laptops and small Apple keyboards have only a Backspace key mislabeled "delete," and no real Delete key.

And, despite years of complaints, Apple pettily refused to address this even when physical media became obsolete and freed up the Eject key. They made this into... a baffling "lock" key or something if I remember correctly.

And even worse... when Eject existed, Apple put a HARDWARE delay on it; so you couldn't even remap it to be Delete. Why impose an insurmountable delay on an Eject key? Were people being killed by accidentally-ejected CDs? And if so, why didn't Apple simply make Eject a Delete key, with Eject being a secondary function accessible only with a modifier key... solving two problems at once?
