In my experience, some regular users also dislike the UX of websites as applications, and that's what Electron apps are. They feel heavier than native software, the UI elements tend to redraw and jump around unexpectedly, and the keyboard response is noticeably slower.

You can recognize them because they dislike the feel without even knowing what's an electron app. I can vouch they're not insecure about Electron.
I guess users could enter the data manually as well.
No it wasn't. The comment I replied to claimed:

> This is no different from installing a random package through a package manager

I replied "No it isn't" in response to that, so I was claiming that a package manager was different (in terms of security) from doing curl | sh.

My comment then went on to explain specific attacks (a mirror being compromised) which are solved by package managers / cryptographic signatures.

At no point did I ever claim package managers were immune to all attacks. A compromised build server, leaked keys, or the upstream program thats being packaged being malicious are all still possible.

Its very simple, my Arch Linux install is pointed at the MIT mirrors. What is stopping the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from replacing my next firefox update with a virus? Cryptographic signatures. They don't have an Arch Linux signing key. What would be stopping them if I installed firefox by doing curl | sh? Nothing.
Could this be the answer I needed to run an SQL Server image that refused to run on my M3 MBP? I was about to, sadly, try Docker Desktop, because of that.
Nailed it. This is 100% pragmatism/convenience-based decision making rooted in terrible culture, red tape, bad communication and dumb org charts.

Congrats on the launch! I'm an inveterate search nerd so I can't help but ask how did you implement search?
You know, if you put it this way, it's really a miracle that britain as an independent country still exists at all, that it's not been conquered from the continent since 1066, and that has been in no small part thanks to a british foreign policy of making sure that no country in europe becomes so dominant that they might take on britain, a foreign policy which included that security guarantee to Poland.
Microsoft unofficially deprecated wsus a long time ago. Out of the box it can't even serve modern clients, what started as "just make these changes to iis until this is fixed in a patch" became "we aren't really interested in new wsus versions". I'm glad it's become official .
It was in reply to a dishonest comment that was taken down. It's normal to use elevated rhetoric when correcting the record about a false idea being put forth and made public.

Furthermore saying "probably because the CTO is a dick" to a random person online - in response to a question about why their startup is blacklisted - is definitely fair game. How many people have said "{insert CEO name} is a dick" on these forums?

I spend a lot of time using my phone, and can afford the latest & greatest - but I use a 6 year old apple phone, because it's _perfectly fine_. A 10 year old apple phone is "just barely usable".

When I was in the android ecosystem, a 4 year old phone was "just barely" usable, and phones stopped being "fine" after about two years.

I'll give apple shit for a lot of things, and they could definitely do _more_ about e-waste... but this is as likely to be "we put the image encoder on the camera module, so it would have been slightly more work to backport to old phones"

I have found that people who are adamant haters of k8s, usually truly do not understand k8s or the issues it solves.

It's not for everyone - but having a knee-jerk allergic reaction to anything k8s is silly.

I laugh at your description of my point of view as hostile to intelligence. I see the simplicity which you fail to grasp.

On one hand, African devs should be supported. On the other hand, holding a conference in a specific country means some participants will risk arrest by an hostile government. Simply not going to that country, and going to another neighbouring African nation means everyone can feel safe. Problem easily solved, but in your worldview listening to gay people is hostile to intelligence. How ... ancient.

My plan was to run the laptop Windows and the 'devkit' Linux. This first batch of laptops (AFAICT) can NOT dual boot.

My thinking is this, if Windows ARM is a success -- there will be more units out there that can ALSO run Linux too. If Windows ARM is a failure, then Linux will suffer too.

From Frustrating PDFs to Health Insights: A Tweet That Sparked an Idea
I came across a tweet from Daniel Vassallo (@dvassallo) about how he gets blood tests done every few months but is left with PDFs that do not tell him much. He asked if there was an easy way to aggregate this info and see changes over time. I asked if he would pay for such a tool, and he said yes, if it is good.

That is when I realized people actually need this. So, I am building HealthTestLog. You upload your medical PDFs, and the system organizes them and shows how things are changing over time. The core features are already out at healthtestlog.com. I am adding analytics for personalized recommendations and predictive health insights. Privacy is the top priority. Every data point (except some meta-data like id of a row) is encrypted on the server. Thanks folks, I just wanted to put it out there. Ideas, criticism all welcome.
Far from me to try to defend platforms, but I am still wondering (for years now) :

How are data deletion requests supposed to be handled in practice, when the only way to be sure is to physically destroy the hardware that data was stored on ? (Especially the case for transistor-based storage, and even more so when wear leveling is being used.)

Or is this is actually a "pinky promise" by the company to not restore the data (or else they will have to face legal consequences) ?
I implemented Inngest to handle our video migration queues that help move videos off of other platforms into Mux -- complete breeze. Loved the balance between the amount of complexity that's abstracted away, but still enough of a surface API exposed to do some pretty custom domain-specific work. Also the support was top notch, that goes a long way. A++, would use again, genuinely a fan.
I would guess public sector, academia, and large, older enterprise software companies are most likely to be similar. Or just choose any product that is expensive and bad and apply there.

I had the same view going into this job though. Working with incompetent people may stress you out more than you expect.
They are playing you for a fool. Why do you like this company? I've been treated better than that at every company I've been with, entry level or later, and been offered advancement with way less contribution.

Are you in the US or elsewhere? I wonder if there's a cultural difference at play?

From what I can see from your post, your managers are totally just stringing you along. I wouldn't trust them at all after that, much less work hard and try to impress them.

Find a better job if you can, when you can, where people actually treat you with respect instead of just toying with your emotions and career. Your current place sounds straight up abusive.
> That's a ridiculous statement and complete misinformation.

You appear to be making the argument that my claim that this has not been conclusively confirmed is wrong because of what is likely/unlikely. That is fallacious and frankly comes across as disingenuous.

If you are going to make the strong claim you need to back it up with real evidence or you risk being accused of promoting misinformation for the purposes of justifying further death and suffering.

To the best of my knowledge the source of the rocket has not been confirmed. Are you claiming that it has (IDF or US repetition of IDF claims not withstanding)?

> What level of convincing do you think we need to take this from "unconfirmed" and "just an opinion" to confirmed?

Independent verification of the debris would settle this conclusively. Hasn't happened. Why not? Especially given that it was used to justify an escalation. Without verifiable evidence to support it that just looks like cynical use of these children's deaths to inflict more suffering for political purposes.
Okay, but back to the original question, how does this affect latency or bandwidth?
The environmental report itself requires an environmental report -- how many trees have to be cut down to print it?

Be sure to increase RAM over the default 2GB as well, that SQL Server container is hungry and will crash without enough resources dedicated to it.

That's too good. Did you have to rename the file to get Dropbox to delete it?
The CTO and co-founder didn't check in on any of the concerns, completely disappeared after leaving a heartfelt comment.
This comes off as incredibly disingenuous.
Give me some numbers then on how this materially affects latency or bandwidth.
Full stack developers often use both Java and JavaScript.
Yet they still market themselves as visualization systems. An open source/free NMS-first product like Zabbix or Nagios (and its successors) is plenty.
Sorry for being pandentic but you don't learn much by looking at the inside of a radio because it's mostly electronic components except for the knobs, antenna, dial. Without understanding how the the electronics work, you're just looking at parts. Mechanical parts like a bicycle, much easier to reason. Not knowing your background, can you build a radio if giving a box of parts? I certainly can't.

I don't have any hangups about how other people feel about anything. My "hangup" is that I see no evidence that there is a consensus on a technical definition of the word "delivery". In the absence of such a definition, there is no basis for asserting that exactly-once delivery is impossible, particularly when there are existence proofs to the contrary based on reasonable informal definitions of the word "delivery".
My comment comes from the lack of backup and restore systems for nearly all projects that I've seen, especially open source for services and applications.
IMO if Docker is important to you then Orbstack is worth it.

> From 2010 to the summer of 2024, Britain was run by Conservative-led or Conservative Governments. The Conservatives are the traditional party of business, and in the 1930s and 1980s they pushed through reform programmes that successfully renewed Britain’s economy. Virtually any Conservative minister from the past fourteen years would speak warmly about that heritage if asked, and would express the hope of being its inheritor. And yet, with honourable exceptions, the governments of the last fourteen years failed in this vocation. Failing systems remained unreformed, continuing to stifle Britain’s prosperity. Today Britain is ruled by a Labour Government that recognises this failure to build, and which has articulated high ambitions for changing this. But it remains doubtful that they will be any better at delivering on those ambitions than the Conservatives were.

I don't see anything there that is at odds with anything I have said. All I see there is a restatement of my position.

> One reason the delivery / processing distinction exists because very often the application needs to atomically...

Yes. Do you really think I did not already know that?

> Thus, the application needs to deal with multiple delivery.

That depends on your requirements. What does that have to do with the possibility or impossibility of exactly-once delivery?

> Imagine a "subtract $5 from my bank account" message with no ID on the message itself

I have never denied that you can invent scenarios that will fail. I explicitly said that exactly-once delivery is likely not what you want. What does that have to do with whether or not it is possible?
Only if using DOM right? If someone ported a WebGL game to Electron the same 3D engine would be at play. Or 2D canvas for that matter. I think you're specifically referring to the overhead of browser DOM and how elements therein load, focus, apply styling, etc.
TrueNas needs to embody best practice for application backup and restore even though it runs ZFS.

As a side note, it's pretty interesting TrueNas is heavily designed around the ZFS paradigm. Most people think of applications and time stamps to restore not data pools and the snapshot paradigm accompanying ZFS.

With the right layer of abstraction on top of snapshots one could have the cake you need it to as it is difficult for beginners to grasp ZFS.

No, it isn't, because the situation inside the fort is different than the situation outside. The odds of a courier being intercepted inside the fort are effectively zero. If your computational model includes a non-zero probability of failure "inside the fort" then you are no longer in the realm of distributed systems, but are now talking about fault-tolerant computing, which is a whole nuther kettle o worms.
All of the articles say the deal is Microsoft agreeing to buy power for 20 years. It's possible that's wrong/incomplete, but it would be weird. Constellation's stock rose 20%, so the market at least thinks they'll make decent money on it.

And it may be an "ancient plant" but it was operational 5 years ago, under Constellation's management.
I did some robotics tactile research, it was super fun! We used "biotac" sensors, which are very capable, but are 1) crazy expensive and 2) crazy hard to replace the skins, which do wear out.

One advantage biotacs have over these is that I can send a guy a (very large) check and buy them. Most academically-sourced things like this cannot be gotten for any price. These look cool, I'd love to have a few.

We built the company from the start by scraping low cost airlines, and always did a lot of it.

It’s just a very big undertaking - building all the scrapers, maintaining them (every time any detail of an airline website changed), getting around anti-scraping measures, running servers, and even then your data is out of date as soon as a flight’s price or availability changes. And it’s an exponentially growing undertaking the more comprehensive you want your index to be - I.e, to include round trip and multi-stop tickets.
When you're talking about something like neural networks on a 4004, the "well ackshually" argument does become very much relevant. The limitations of that kind of platform are hard enough that they do not approximate a Turing machine with respect to modern software.

The real magic, IMHO, comes from how Indian food is spiced. Lots of contradictory flavors that are used in ways very different than western cooking. Also lots of steps involving dry roasting some of the spices, while leaving others as is, and which spices get dry roasted changes from dish to dish.

I do a lot of Indian cooking from scratch at home, and while I can slightly improvise recipes and tweak them to my taste, I am still a long way from being able to truly understand WTF is going on with some of the more complex reactions.
