The long migration from control panel to settings is one of the big tells to me that MS doesn't have the windows UI anywhere near a top priority.

They have a large amount of potential resources to throw at any problem they like, they could have done a v1.0 for win8 that provided a complete set of equivalents in the new style when they judged the OS was ready to release. Then iterate from that v1.0 in later releases as they have with other aspects of the OS, if anything MS seem to keep parts more fluid than long term stable now and aren't afraid to make major changes in service packs, win10 reaching EOL is quite different to the initial release and similar for win11.

I can appreciate the UI being 'uneven' in a project with loose coordination as you find in a lot of linux distros, but for windows it could be better than it is like an orchestra playing together

I'm not sure — what do C and C++ have to do with this?
AFAIK, 250W is the net energy of light arriving at the wafer after it has reflected off of many mirrors, with a very inefficient process to generate light from the tin plasma on top of that.

> but this is only difference in quantity

As if that excuses anything. That reminded me of the time some country (Sweden?) with gun control had its first shooting in thirty years and the reaction in the US was “see, gun control doesn’t work”. For a large portion of things, quantity can be everything. “The Dose Makes the Poison”.

Either way, that is not the point.

> Clearly America has money in politics problem

Yes, it does. And whoever you give money to reveals who you support and is an indication of your beliefs and your character. Tim Cook either supports Trump (or his ideas), cares about money above all else, or is a spineless coward. It does matter which one it is, but neither of them is good.
They really avoided all but the briefest mention of the most important thing for any large project like this: the potential ecological effects, not to mention geopolitical since said ecological effects will be across the border in India.
Yeah there’s plenty of high quality websocket client libraries in all languages now. Support and feature are excellent. And they’ve been supported in all browsers for a decade or something at this point.

I vomit in my mouth a bit whenever people reach for socket.io or junk like that. You don’t want or need the complexity and bugs these libraries bring. They’re obsolete.

The logic here is that it's you who come to visit, not them. But the next issue is that everyone agrees it's not normal for a private service either, even if it's free, and it should be disallowed. But laws don't work like that. We simply have no law systems that could manage that, nowhere on this planet.

so when the left literally changed wikipedia entries, what was that? not rewriting history?

to put it bluntly, it’s hard to have sympathy for your case when the left does the same. when will the left stop complaining that the right is doing things they are also doing?

when will the rest of you figure out that parties are the problem?

Great piece. This subculture has been overanalyzed to death, but the early roots were very humble indeed, and the spirit of entrepreneurship this woman possessed was quite real and strong. Circumstances and tragedy unfortunately short-circuited her trajectory, yet she made a lasting impact, and it seems she found grace in her stride again through her final chapters.

My parents had at least one Janis Joplin record and each dipped their toes into the hippie scene, so I was aware of it early on. Bell-bottom jeans were reviled by many in my early youth - including me - but by the time I was in high school, I started to see the appeal in more than one way. I helped create a fake video news report on Woodstock as part of some kind of A/V class. I took acid. I listened to the Grateful Dead tapes a friend had acquired through the still robust tape-trading scene going at the time (incidentally, some of my favorite background music lately has been some instrumental-only jam collections posted by gratefuldeadosaurusrex on YT, check it out if you're so inclined).

Only a tiny percentage of baby boomers were actually significantly involved in hippie culture, even during its height. Like nearly everything truly special, it got overblown. Despite its exaggerated presence and oft-deserved mixed reception, though, there was something important about it. There's a reason so many keep going back to take another look. I think it's wise for some of us to continue sifting through the remnants to find what's worth holding on to.
The article establishes pretty clearly Dittman is not imaginary, and he is not Elon.

I’ve been skeptical, but I thought it was possible. The evidence seemed weak, though - I’m a relative nobody, and when I had a tiny bit of e-fame there were a few people out there relentlessly cheerleading/shilling me and aggressively agreeing with everything I said. So the fact Dittman did this with Elon was hardly conclusive. I thought they did sound alike, but that’s not conclusive.

A few people did claim they heard Dittman in spaces while Elon was on live television, but of course since I could not verify that for myself I considered it possible that they were just Elon boosters making that up to defend him. But it looks like they were right. Musk and Dittman are definitely different people.

Isn't this the premise of Silicon Valley (the show)?
it's hard to escape the 'gimmickry' or narrow purpose in a cost-effective manner to allow the company to survive long enough and reach large-scale deployment.

The reason is mixture of hardware and software constraints. You need a range of sensors and equipment (end-effectors, batteries, GPUs), expensive at lower volumes, to extend the robot's physical capabilities (e.g. reach, manipulation, navigation) and enable certain software robot skills. Besides their dependence on hardware, robot skills are not entirely solved nor general enough to work in all environments, that means the company needs to do R&D and data collection, or purchase bought elsewhere. For example, Generative AI models (LLMs, VLAs, world models) are a boon for robotics thanks to knowledge reuse and eased domain adaptation but they're (for now) somewhat unreliable. It's difficult for such embodied GenAI models to be more than technically correct when performing tasks because they lack or ignore knowledge about the physical world needed to ensure risk-free actions and outcomes.

For example, asking for a robot to "pour water on that glass" can lead to dropped bottles/glasses or water pouring on a table because the model won't have a clear models of bottle/glass/water ("entities") nor expectations (nothing broken, nothing wet; only what is more or less expected with the act of pouring water conditioned on the most probable areas for representing the of object of interest.

Just have a look at 1X's videos, a well-funded humanoid robot startups, and pay attention to object interactions: how those interactions start and end.
Mostly North American problem, not Western. Europe is still building gigantic bridges, rails, ports and etc. Not as fast as China, but it still happens.

This article [1] claims that only 0.4% of all the plastic in the oceans floats to the surface, and is therefore reachable by boat.

I feel like ocean cleanup is done more to make us feel better about using plastic bottles than to actually solve the problem. Maybe that money would have been better spent lobbying against some kinds of platics rather than on boats to scoop the coastline?

Docker has a known security issue with port exposure in that it punches holes through the firewall without asking your permission, see https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/4737

I usually expose ports like `127.0.0.1:1234:1234` instead of `1234:1234`. As far as I understand, it still punches holes this way but to access the container, an attacker would need to get a packet routed to the host with a spoofed IP SRC set to `127.0.0.1`. All other solutions that are better seem to be much more involved.

Every server gets constantly probed for SSH. Since half the servers on the Internet haven't been taken over yet, it doesn't seem like SSH has significant exploits (well, there was that one signal handler race condition).

Unless you're trying to do one of those designs that cloud vendors push to fully protect every single traffic flow, most people have some kind of very secure entry point into their private network and that's sufficient to stop any random internet attacks (doesn't stop trojans, phishing, etc). You have something like OpenSSH or Wireguard and then it doesn't matter how insecure the stuff behind that is, because the attacker can't get past it.
Peggy sold LSD for Owsley Stanley. Owsley was an legendary audio engineer and the first large scale LSD producer (1965-1967). He made five grams that made 5 million doses. Tom Wolfe wrote about him in the Electric Kool Aid Acid Test (1968), although I don't recall him mentioning Peggy. Truly an oversight.

The "Acid Tests" were large parties where people drank fruit punch mixed with LSD.

> How long has it been since the high speed rail system was proposed? China built a national network in less time

China's population distribution (and lack of strong-form property ownership) makes intercity passenger rail a lot easier than in America. We absolutely should have it in the Northeast. But it's unclear it makes sense almost anywhere else, other than as a drive-on drive-off system. (The case for municipal rail is much stronger.)

The Great Filter could indeed be an aggregate of subfilters, but this wouldn't change the argument.
I was thinking this exact thing as I was reading the article.
That very in order guarantee is the issue. It can't know exactly where the connection died, which means that the client must inform the last time it received an update, and the server must then crawl back a log to find the pending messages and redispatch them.

At this point, long polling seems to carry more benefits, IMHO. WebSockets seem to be excellent for stable conditions, but not quite what we need for mobile.
The point is also brought up a few times in SICP:

You can't just click a few buttons and have industrial machinery - and when you DO get it there's a ton of safety warnings on and around it. And I don't agree with your fundamental premise; self owned computing should be for everyone. It shouldn't be - at least for some subset of basics - arcane or onerous.
I don't think it's that unreasonable for a database guide not to mention it. This is more of a general server/docker security thing. Just as I wouldn't expect an application guide to tell me not to use windows xp because it's insecure.

Most general guides on the other hand regarding docker mention not to expose containers directly to the internet and if a container has to be exposed to do so behind a reverse proxy.
I implemented a long polling solution in desktop software over 20 years ago and it’s still working great. It can even be used as a tunnel to stream RDP sessions, through which YouTube can play without a hiccup. Big fan of long polling, though I admit I didn’t get a chance to try web sockets back then.
There usual route that people would take is either use VPN/tailscale/Clouflare Tunnels ..etc and only expose things locally and you will need to be on VPN network to access services. The other route is not to expose any ports and rely on reverse proxy. Actually you can combine the two approaches and it is relativity easy for non SWE homelab hobbyists.

From TFA:

> This was somewhat releiving, as the latest change I made was spinning up a postgres_alpine container in Docker right before the holidays. Spinning it up was done in a hurry, as I wanted to have it available remotely for a personal project while I was away from home. This also meant that it was exposed to the internet, with open ports in the router firewall and everything. Considering the process had been running for 8 days, this means that the infection occured just a day after creating the database. None of the database guides I followed had warned me about the dangers of exposing a docker containerized database to the internet. Ofcourse I password protected it, but seeing as it was meant to be temporary, I didn't dive into securing it properly.

Seems like they opened up a postgres container to the Internet (IIRC docker does this whether you want to or not, it punches holes in iptables without asking you). Possibly misconfigured authentication or left a default postgres password?
As an aside, why is buying from the publisher (the preferred method) almost always more expensive? In this case it's $40 vs $30.

Why list it on Amazon for less? Shouldn't the direct from publisher be lower since they don't have to pay Amazon? Plus Amazon throws in free one day shipping.

What's the economics behind this?

We’ve found this out a few times when someone inexperienced with docker would expose a redis port and run docker compose up on a public accessible machine. Would only be minutes until that redis would be infected. Also blame redis for having the ability to run arbitrary code without auth by default.

That's because you're using `mov rdi, rax` again. You keep changing `edi, eax` to `rdi, rax`. Why?

The default operand size in 64-bit mode is, for most instructions, still 32 bits. So `mov edi, eax` encodes the same in 32- and 64-bit mode.

For `mov rdi, rax` you need an extra REX prefix byte [1], that's the 48 you're seeing above, but you don't need it here.

It's billions short on just the useless Merced-Bakersfield segment [1].

Given "its sole source of ongoing funds, from the state’s cap-and-trade program, expires in 2030," and there is zero chance of new federal funding through 2026 (and realistically, through at least 2028), the chances that this gets killed in its entirety are quite high.

I now realise that my comment had a bit too much pathos, and could easily be interpreted as looking down on the creator of this harmless concept. Companies waste such an insane amount of resources on advertising alone, that this fun little project can not be seen as morally problematic.
