subject: The Day the Music Died

I was looking forward to playing my Yamaha Digital Piano that I ordered from Amazon today when I got home from work at "the country club". Instead I'm stuck tapping this UPS "Delivery Attempted" notice and the melodies just aren't coming through.

?

In the last 6 months I ordered 37 packages from Amazon. I needed to be home for zero.

Why didn't Amazon send me an email, phone call, text, message through Echo, notification through one of my four Amazon iPhone apps, or airdrop from a drone alerting me that I needed to be there for this package?

I also have an Amazon Echo at home so Alexa should have an idea of my schedule and know that the odds of a successful delivery at 4:42pm on a weekday are 1%. Now I'm listening to Alexa play sad songs instead of belting out great new tunes on my Yamaha.

Also, why didn't the UPS driver call or text me when he or she was at my building to ask if it was okay to leave the package? This would have saved them a minimum of 1 trip and I wouldn't have to bet the delivery of my $700 package to a half a cent sticky note stuck to my door being pelted by the Seattle rain.

OK love ya bye

I don't think foreign names are 'bad writing' but I do experience more difficulty keeping track of names that are in a language I'm completely unfamiliar with.

English names already have an allocated space in my brain. Fake names that follow the pattern of English names are usually easy to slot into the existing system. Names in my second language can be slightly more difficult but I seem to have developed a similar system of breaking them down and storing them. But names that don't fit into patterns I'm familiar with can be like trying to memorize completely arbitrary strings of information.

For example (grabbing some Aztec mythology names) "Tlaltecuhtli" won't be accurately stored beyond the first syllable or two until I've seen it many, many times, and if there's another character called "Tlazolteotl" I'm likely to mix them up.

> If you don't want to pay those taxes, then renounce your US citizenship once you have

Haven't you heard of exit tax? If you renounce citizenship (or surrender your 8+ year green card), you must pay 30% of your worldwide assets' value (as if you sold it for cash) to the IRS. And if you own something illiquid, you're deep in trouble!

So no, people can't renounce their U.S. citizenship easily, the IRS has accounted for that...

SaaSiroth is a combination of the acronym SaaS meaning “software as a service”, and the “Sephiroth” of Jewish mysticism.

The diagram on the front page and blackboard in the video is a representation of the Sephiroth, the Jewish Kabbalistic tree of life. It’s something to do with Jewish metaphysics and cosmogony, but it’s very esoteric, may you have better luck making sense of it than I!

Instead of the “ten emanations” of Kabbalah, the diagram in the video contains concepts from the technical domain of Identity and Access Management (IAM).

Yes, clearly the impact will hit the entry-level / lower-skilled folks first. But if we project forward not that far into the future, say 7, 10, maybe 15 years, I don't find it implausible to think that we could find ourselves in a world where even fairly senior engineers and architects are impacted. And of course I'm not only thinking about programmers and other IT types: I'm thinking about all forms of "knowledge work" being impacted.

Sci-fi? Maybe. But how many things in our world would have been sci-fi not so very long ago? And I don't see any particular reason to expect AI progress to stop. Although I could see it slowing for a bit at various times. S-curves and all that, innit?.

The “USB-C invented by Apple” legend was even presented as fact on Wikipedia for a good while. Someone fixed it a few months ago. The source, of course, was Gruber and some “little birdies”.

Scene: A busy London street. A young man has an altercation with a chip-shop owner about insufficiently soggy potato. He storms out of the shop, and walks straight into traffic where he is killed by a cyber-taxi. Several hundred nearby CCTV cameras pick this up, cross reference his face with an organ donor list and the metropolitan AI responds by despatching buzzard drones. Seventy-three seconds later, the first few arrive and begin roughly chopping out his heart and liver. Shortly, several from hospitals farther away descend and promptly start on his eyes. Minutes later, his picked-clean bones lie quietly on the sidewalk. An onlooker mutters about the noise being "a bit of a bother", pauses, eying the eerily clean skeleton, and concludes "could be worse though, I suppose".

My understanding is that pagers are typically radio Rx-only, and that it is not possible to track their location like a cellular device -- which is likely why Hezbollah chose to use them.

Though it would be possible to add this ability when the hardware was intercepted, a transmitting device is also easy to detect.
Yea, I agree it should be available, but children do not have the right to choose for themselves. This is the typical ethical dilemma that comes up in these arguments. I would readily bring up the example of congenitally deaf people who have options of medical treatment - many, many of them decide to forgo treatment and stay deaf. It would be insane for someone to say it should be treated, like it’s some kind of societal ill - which is frequently how this argument is framed (and would make no sense towards deaf people).

It’s a nuanced discussion that needs a lot of nuance and has affected my life personally and people I care about so I am sorry if my tone is emotional.

Of course reference counting is not tracing garbage collection. I never said it was.

I like parameter objects a lot these days, they are more verbose to set up initially but they make function calls descriptive and the parameter order irrelevant, I think this is really good for developer usability.

I dislike parameters within the URL now, when you consider the usability of Swagger and browser debug consoles a URL like `/api/update-thing?id=foo` is much nicer for non-developers, whereas `PATCH /api/thing/:id` is built on understanding REST conventions and generates ambiguous requests in browser tools.

I think it's possible that you just hold a non-majority opinion about what good usability looks like.

That's fine, and I'm OK with a world where we disagree about how usable systemd is, but I interact with the systemd config files and symlinks and logs pretty frequently, and have found them to be orders of magnitude more usable and understandable than /etc/rc#.d and /etc/init.d and "I wonder if this system puts sshd logs in /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/secure or somewhere else". Notably, I interact with a mix of Arch and Ubuntu and RHEL systems over the course of a week, and systemd means I can engage with all of the above using the same methodology.

In terms of creep... busybox is noteworthy for packing all of a system into a single binary. systemd doesn't do this. Their resolver and time daemon and networking and all the other bits and bobs are their own separate binary, and you aren't required to use them.

high time preference thinking
Doesn’t it depend on the time scale?

If we are talking about pre-globalization many countries are no longer have a majority “native” population. (US, Japan, Taiwan, parts of Europe) and that is just the reality of human history.

I think we have to decide on a time when the back and fourth geocoding between groups is no longer acceptable. Most of the world thinks it’s around the end of ww2 and the start of globalization, but are you contending that it should be later, and the Arabs should take back Israel?
I agree. The hardest work on OpenTelemetry (and OpenCensus/OpenTracing before it) was looking at all the different vendors and trying to come up with a common set of semantic conventions[0].

If your team is new to metrics or tracing - or even just structured logging - it's worth to start adding fields in the general structure of the otel semantic conventions, because then whichever third party service you eventually decide to push to, it won't take much of a shim to adapt your data to get there. And if you just stick with JSON logs pushed to ELK (or whatever) you at least build up a useful set of fields to query on.

This is a pretty heated thread, and I’m not trying to fan any flames: the Assyrians and Sumerians were there before that. It always seemed a bit arbitrary to me to claim land based on whose religion started first — although not quite as arbitrary as “my God said it’s mine, so there.” Plus I believe they claimed that Ashur promised the land to them.

Looking at the list of "benefits" another person posted:

> The rights your passport gives you
Are no different than the rights an EU passport gives you, except when entering the US-- but then again, an EU passport gives you better rights when entering the EU, so this is not an exclusive.

> + the legal and embassy protections given to American citizens. Like the American civilians held in Russia that Biden recently traded Russian spies for.

Note that the US doesn't have jurisdiction outside of US territory, so it cannot give legal protection and explicitly embassies do not give legal advice. Yes, there may sometimes be trades like above, but on the other hand, if the US prisoners were not US people, they probably would not have been jailed by the Russians in the first place.

> You still have access to vote absentee,
Voting is a responsibility, not a benefit.

>as well as collect social security benefits.

Wrong-o! You only get social security benefits you have paid for. If you are living outside of the US, you are not contributing to soc. security.

> You can use US bank accounts and other institutions.

So can non-citizens. US bank accounts do not require citizenship. Nor does owning real estate. Nor forming companies.

Realistically it wouldn’t require much volume in the battery. For reference, the amount of explosive material in a blasting cap is about the size of an eraser head, and is easily capable of the explosions in the videos.

Yeah, I mean, I think this describes it. Ultimately the video had many thoughts and layers, starting with a charismatic lead who is proud or pretending to be proud about completely meaningless, arbitrary achievements and metrics trying to motivate his team for rejecting access requests. Then it goes on to this individual who just can't handle it. Which is relatable. I don't think I could be able to perform a job like this at all. So I think this individual there was just so badly misplaced for handling this type of work - he really wanted out from there, but unfortunately it is not always so simple. In an ideal world he would've worked in another role.
I can't think of a good reason to want to implement the complex parts. Write an HTTP service if you must, but make it HTTP/1.0 (or 1.1 for keepalive) and stick it behind nginx to do the newer versions and SSL termination.

(I also think all HTTP services should if possible be written in a shared-nothing CGI type language, and not embedded in your random stateful program. This way you can't accidentally leak info across user sessions.)
> an OO system that looks like it has been bolted in, compared to Ruby

I think the two languages just have different design philosophies. In Python, functions are fundamental and classes are built on top of them. In Ruby, objects are fundamental and functions (i.e. Procs etc) are themselves objects.

You could just as well claim that in Ruby, functions look like they have been bolted in. For example, you can’t call a Proc itself but need to call one of its methods.

Yeah, I went in thinking that it was going to be some case of Apple wanting to bend the Unix philosophy to their will for their own desires and steer implementations in their direction, but no - they are simply pointing out a clear flaw in the design of the function in question for a usecase that does not apply only to Apple. Basically all OS vendors need to be doing something like this usecase to support IPv6 adoption.
That’s not the current documentation, as evidenced by the “archive” in the URL.

If you want to stay at a lower level the recommendation these days is to use Network.framework. If you want something higher level then use CFNetwork (probably through the classes exported by Foundation like NSURLSession).

> two mature type checkers

I’ve never quite understood how this works. Surely a type system is absolutely fundamental to a language - how can you have multiple incompatible ones?

Do you need to choose a particular type checker for each project? Are you limited to only using third-party libraries that use the same type checker?
There is systemd the init and there is systemd the project.

I counted no less then 64 related executables related to systemd on my system.

Accusing systemd of "not doing one thing and doing it well" is like accusing the GNU project of not following the Unix philosophy.
