It’s been a surprisingly emotional stretch in Germany these past few weeks. Between drastic shifting U.S. politics, the rising cost of living in our major cities, and recent isolated incidents that have rattled public sentiment, there’s a growing sense of urgency and determination in the air in my (mostly tech and Enterpise) surroundings.

What stands out most is how quickly this mood has shifted from anxiety to a “let’s build it ourselves” mentality. I see it in the new products and projects around me: there’s a growing effort to reduce reliance on the U.S. and carve out distinctly European solutions. In employment, too, we’re noticing an uptick in candidates who seem more interested in staying or coming to Europe —- something that was slowly happening since covid, but feels quite different from six months ago.

There could be a silver lining here. Despite the political and economic challenges, this could open up blocked opportunities for Europe to regain its competitive edge. Everything before was "there is a better, cheaper, available, from US", now enterprises don't trust their data off EU. If we can move beyond committee-driven decision-malkings fast enough, it might just be the catalyst Europe needed to reclaim and reinvent its place in the global marketplace. Maybe, who knows, maybe, the immidiate recommendation to a tech startup (non B2B) won't be "you need to move to SF!" too.

Personally, I decided against having a Tesla and went for a german brand this year, despite german ones being bad in tech UX. Maybe if soon there is a EU OpenAI/Claude level capable too.
I think we technical people have wrong perceptions of the past. When I was young, family members would say 'ah you know everything about computers, I can't get this (illegal) copy of game x working, please help.' 99 percent of people did NOT know how to resolve IRQ conflicts or even know that 'my documents' is just a folder on the C drive.
I always assumed any TCP/UDP packets would get captured by the OS network stack in order to be sent only to the processes listening on specific ports.

I guess this is a security feature, since a process cannot even listen on some ports without having elevated privileges. I wouldn't expect another process being able to capture all this traffic anyway. This would also require a mechanism of sending the same stream to multiple processes (TCP listeners and all-protocol listeners).

But I didn't even know it was possible to capture traffic from multiple transport layer protocols using a syscall, perhaps that syscall requires elevated privileges itself..?
As someone who has implemented various transport protocols (both standard and custom) the biggest hurdle in layering atop IP will not be the gauntlet of WAN routers, surprisingly, rather consumer NAT devices.

One interesting case for a particular Netgear family of routers was that, while the traffic would survive end-to-end it was not without corruption - very specific corruption which took the form of zeroing the first 4 bytes. Given this aligns with where the src/dst ports would normally be, I suspect it was being treated as TCP/UDP albeit without the actual translation path taken.
> It still blows my mind how dogmatic some people can be about things like this. I don't understand why anyone takes these things as gospel.

IMO, this is one of the key differences between the two books. CC has a vibe of hard and fast opinion-based rules that you must obey, whereas APoSD feels more like empirically-derived principles or guidelines.
Passive Radar Signal Confirms Visual UFO Sighting
If it was 1940, I'd avoid buying one. If you are aware of the Volkswagen profits going directly to a known nazi supporter, I'd love to know.

People can change, as can ownership of companies. If Musk divested himself completely of Tesla, I'd be happy to buy one. I have no bias against Tesla or it's employees, I have a bias against the owner currently hard at work trying to destroy democracy in the US and across the globe.

More to the point, are you deliberately trolling or you genuinely do not see the point being made?

Okay, this is a little extreme, but it seems crazy to me that the world still lacks a sensible legal doctrine for what isn't or isn't a platform.
Unfortunately, the printing industry rolled over for Adobe and set a precedent.

An alternative to Shapr3D might be: https://www.plasticity.xyz/ which has an interesting license and licensing model (I bought a Studio license at launch, but haven't used it since).

Fortunately, FreeCAD is markedly improved, and for folks who want something light-weight and intuitive, I would recommend trying: Dune 3D as discussed here previously:

What about the 14 US flags posts on X?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.timesnownews.com/world/us/u...

There is a long string of veiled and plausably deniable nazi references from Musk now.

No the intention wasn't to make a crystal clear nazi salute. The intention was to make a veiled salute, gradually testing the waters and reducing society's defenses. Same as the long string of similar things on X.

And if YOU got half the worlds press to talk about your arm -- would you not issue some clarification or apology where you explicitly rejected nazism?

The motivation isn't to unequivocally support nazists as you assume.

It is to slowly rehabilitate the symbols and remove society's immune system. This year, it is seen by many Musk fans as just about for LOLs and joking around.

But already Bannon did the salute properly and now he is "only the 2nd one". See how Musk cleared the way for Bannon's more explicit salute?

In 2-3 years, people will as a consequence have less knee jerk reactions against the real nazi groups. In 4 years, Trump can openly use the symbol if he so wishes, as it now represents a new movement and not the "old", and so on.
His response to Trumps napoleon tweet had 14 American flags.
How much time does it take to deliver a vehicle to the buyer? Is sale calculated by number of orders or by number of deliveries?

My guess on the first question is around 30 days, and on second is by number of deliveries. If both guesses are correct we may see the sales go down even more in February.
If you want the responsibility to be properly deflected, you should now call Musk an "DC bureaucrat". That's technically what he is now after all.
This seems like a misunderstanding of the TRO.

Alegeus, a client of DigiCert, filed a court motion to stop DigiCert from revoking their certificate. The courts granted the temporary restraining order.

There is no "update their legal work to prevent customers from legal action" that can avoid a temporary restraining order that is ordered by the courts to provide time to establish facts. Its simply how the legal process works. "they can't help but" seems unfair as the issue was the client Alegeus was unable to replace their certificates in the revocation timeline.

Further "Going through the courts", they didn't go to the courts a client of theirs did.

Digicert is absolutely not blameless. Outside of the TRO, they have failed to meet revocation windows before and yes, are likely using the TRO in this instance as a shield for that.

However the TRO itself is a concerning development that all CA's need to consider depending on their legal jurisdiction, as it could put companies in a bind of being legally ordered to not to complete something they are contractually and legally required to do within the required timeline and interrupt standard security practices in cases like this.
That really depends on your view what the "right" setup for a family is. Historically that's a husband and wife with their kids, but that isn't the only approach by far.

My point there was only that he does seem to actually care about and love his family, especially (maybe mostly?) his kids.
Yes, the SUV - I have barely seen the limousine on the road. The "luxury limousine" segment seems to be pretty dead here, in Germany, too :/
> I keep a dummy Facebook account with no followers and no friends just to access stuff that's exclusively on Facebook.

Facebook still provides an API. Wouldn't it be possible to leverage that API to build a proxy service, and then at least mitigate one side of their monopoly?
We don't need new classics. They are nice to have but not a need.

We really don't need so many new books that we have to pay people to write them full time.

We absolutely don't need so many new books that we have to give authors the right to extract money after publishing instead of having to rely on crowdfunding/patronage and other up front payments.

If copyright ended right now, culture would go on undisturbed.
Over 50% of Tesla's sales are model Y which is going through a version upgrade at the moment. The new version is widely publicised, much better than the old one, and will be available in the next few months. Why would you buy a model Y now?

A big dip was also observed during the model 3 upgrade in Q1 2024.

Everybody is obsessing so much over Elon's behaviour right now that they are glossing over important other factors.
It's possible to go to extremes in either direction in this topic, because there are things you can do objectively better but are cost constrained. For instance with indoor potato farms you can harvest multiple times per year anywhere, get crazy yields/health by jacking up CO2 levels, grow in absolutely perfect temperature/humidity conditions, have far less issue with pests/weeds, and so on endlessly.

And in the context of an early Mars expedition, which probably wouldn't have more than a dozen people anyhow, you could get practically infinite potatoes in a very small land area. This is all dramatically better and more efficient than classical farming with long sprawling fields in every way except for cost/kg, but in contemporary industrial farming the only thing that matters is cost/kg.

Do you have source for that? I'm very interested.
There is no technical reason for UDP to be slower than TCP (at CPU level).

The only field that is computed in UDP is checksum and the same exists in TCP and it must be recomputed each time someone actually re-route the packet (eg: bridge to VM) since TTL is decreased.

So I doubt your assertion.

Writing my comment I understood what your are talking about. There is a bunch of encryption done at user mode in HTTP/3 that doesn't need to be done in user mode. In HTTP/2 it was sometime done in kernel mode (kTTL), so was quicker. The slowness comes for the CPU needed it to be copied out of kernel mode. I didn't follow the whole story so I trust you on this.
Mainly two things, AFAICS:

1) "Prestige".

2) Perhaps some actual advantage in the form of your comments being taken more seriously by people here whom you want to take them seriously, if any.

(Idunno, maybe those are the same thing.)
No mid level managers. No HR. No juniors trying to backstab you with clueless management. No TPS reports. No offshore team. All meetings have a point or you don't go. You set your own hours. You only work at work and you are "at work" less hours generally.

At least that's how it is for me. Lack of the above is worth 10's of K extra per year.

But it's not for everyone. If you lack the ability or discipline to achieve actual results for which you are 100% responsible, at a speed and scale that makes economic sense (or at least the ability to convince people of this), if you lack the ability to keep from being eaten by the world, you are better off with a job.
Seeing 'the best FSD' in a sentence is odd - it makes it sound there are multiple FSDs out there, and Tesla's FSD is the best. At the same time, it is not actually self-driving, rather it is a supervised system that has been called FSD for marketing and false promise purposes.
VSCode git interface is actually pretty powerful, 99.9% of the git actions I do are already covered there, including merging, stashing, tagging, getting output from the git hooks...

However changing the diff algorithm is still a nice one, both for solving conflicts and to avoid the ocassional bad automated merges (the latter is scarier as you don't even know you pushed something wrong).
I grew up in a city with well-functioning public transportation. Biggest luxury I ever had. I miss it.
Agreed. But it is history. For example, you'll know that it was the allies who effectively restarted VW as a practical solution after WW2 and who can be credited with its existence.

Tesla is here and now.

I wouldn't buy a VW before/during WW2. I wouldn't buy a Tesla now.

Not making the two equivalent - but who knows where history is going. We're talking about a US government with fascist tendencies, openly flirting with a mafia superpower.
Much as people want this to be political, I think it's just business. The European EV market has rapidly become very competitive and Tesla just aren't keeping up. They haven't launched a new model for several years, but there's a flood of new cars from European, Korean and Chinese brands that offer very compelling features and value.

The Model 3 was supposed to be a breakthrough in affordable EVs, but it's now twice as expensive as the cheapest EVs on the European market. It also isn't particularly small by European standards, which leaves Tesla with nothing to compete in the very popular city car and supermini segments.

Tesla's cars aren't particularly sexy or novel any more, they're just a bit weird. European brands are selling EVs that look and feel like normal cars, come with the backing of a trusted local dealer, and aren't very much more expensive than their internal combustion counterparts. The huge drop in Tesla sales was entirely predictable based on market fundamentals.
IP laws were designed in a world without the means to effectively make infinite copies for free using only hardware that everyone carries on their person at all times.

You may say that you think copyright still works for the world we are in today (I don't agree) but that it was designed for a different world is undeniable.
I vaguely recall the NeXT marketing materials touting their first machine was 3M. Sounds like this is where the seed for NeXT was first planted.

Andy van Dam cleared his throat and looked right at Steve. "Well, its really impressive, Steve, and of course we'll want to join your program. But it's not exactly what we've been waiting for."

Steve looked a little angry. "What are you waiting for? You're going to have to wait a long time to find something better than the Mac!"

"Well, 128K isn't nearly enough memory to do what we want, not even close, and the screen is just too small. We're waiting for a 3M machine, and most of the other colleges are, too."

"A what?"

"A 3M machine. There was a recently published paper that coined the term. You know, a workstation with at least a megabyte of memory, a million pixel display, and a megaflop of computational horsepower. We believe that's what we need for an effective educational workstation."

But wikipedia lists Paul Berg as the inspiration.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXT:

Jobs met Paul Berg, a Nobel Laureate in chemistry, at a luncheon in Silicon Valley held to honor President of France François Mitterrand.[4]: 72 [6] Berg was frustrated by the time and expense of researching recombinant DNA via wet laboratories, and suggested that Jobs should use his influence to create a "3M computer" that is designed for higher education.

Some of the people listed in the "Whats a Megaflop" post went over to NeXT with Jobs.
My experience is that being fastidious about code formatting is independent of one's ability as a developer. i.e. not a good indicator either way.

The EU countries should be aggressively courting US based scientists. Shower them with money, if they must.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I'd be very curious where in our laws it is written that congressional budgets must be spent in their entirety every year. I could just be wrong here, happy to learn something new.

> Laws shouldn't need to go into details on exactly how every last dollar is to be spent.

Laws should go into every detail that matters to those writing it. If all they care about is that the money is spent and that there's an agency with a certain name and one line mandate, sure that's all they need to specify. If the legislators cafe about what is or is not done, or if they care about any specific metrics of success, those should be codified in the law to make the intention and expectation clear.

Birthright citizenship and immigration is a whole other can of worms. We can go there but it's pretty off topic here.
The ethnic cleansing Uyghur concentration camps are probably the biggest one. Also threatening Taiwan, which is a lovely country I would hate to see destroyed. Besides that the social control the government exerts is pretty frightening to me (I've lived in China).

All that said I still see China as less of a direct threat right now.
In general yes iOS dev is easier than android and especially for screen time apps
But was that malice, or stupidity? Do you think they disbanded pandemic prep because they wanted people to die in a pandemic? It seems much more likely that they were too stupid to realize that being unprepared for a pandemic is way more costly than being prepared for one.

There's certainly a lot of malice: asking for names of FBI agents who worked on Jan 6 cases, and in putting Tulsi Gabbard over the CIA, refusing to enforce the laws against offering bribes to foreign officials, cutting agencies regulating Trump's and Musk's businesses. But cutting pandemic prep, firing people working on basic technology... that shows that they're both malicious and stupid.

What's wrong with making just one moral choice? Isn't it better than making zero moral choices?

People do what they can, based on what they believe is right (which you may well disagree with), their knowledge, skills, money and time available. That may not be all that much, they might be ill informed, but it is _something_. Perfect is the enemy of good.

Not giving a cent to Elon Musk seems like a reasonable cause if you believe he's gonna use that money for nefarious things. And at least for the things he's (very) publicly involved in, it's quite easy. Most people doing nefarious things do it in the shadows, and are funded in difficult to understand ways.

People judging each other for who they support by giving them money seems fair. You make some great points about what else they would probably see as problematic. This sounds like it could be a fruitful conversation without the name calling.

There’s also a ton of money being spent on ag tech. My parent company spends billions per year on ag tech. We have drones tracking cows in fields, sensors tracking animals, mixing food, feeding them, monitoring them… tons of other stuff (I’m not on that side of things).

A satellite in LEO already has a speed of about 8 km/s. The highest speed of a satellite in a highly elliptical orbit is 11 km/s. It you can shoot a satellite at 8 km/s, you probably can also shoot it at 11 km/s.

The problem is, of course, that the perigee of a satellite in a highly elliptical orbit can be over a different part of the planet than your SAM battery.

Problem with less popular formats is that there is no official specs or reliable reference implementations, it tends to break when encoding and decoding with different OS/languages/libraries/etc.

YAML, JSON and XML have very well defined specs and the encoders/parsers have been proven to be very reliable across OS/language/libraries. JSON in special tends to be the least problematic because it is simpler than the others and the browsers implementation is kind of the canonical implementation.

The middle ground here is DigiCert should have been able and continued with the revocation of all the other certificates not impacted by the TRO within the policies and contractual agreements it has.

The policy and its designers aren't incompetent, the intention is to ensure security first when fact-finding can take time to establish a subset of actual abuse. This is common in IT/Security and is clearly communicated in the policy customers agree to as well as something agreed on by all CA's. Security > Uptime is the baseline, and while you may disagree with that and have good arguments for the contrary, the argument is much wider than us and has been extensively hashed out in the working groups and discussions around this and other similar issues and is implemented this way by consensus while weighing valid arguments for different approaches and pros and cons.
