Well, to be honest, the browsers could super easily solve that. In dev mode, just issue a warning "loaded script that has hash X but isn't statically defined. This is a huge security risk. Read more here" and that's it. Then you can just add the script, run the site, check the logs and add the hash, done.
Beau of the Fifth Column (Youtube channel for Justin King) would always emphasize (before he relinquished it all for his wife "Belle of the Ranch" to take over) that international relations are usually well-orchestrated, even between enemies, with speeches and releases using heavily coded language, to minimize the possibilities of conflict. Friends and enemies both would telegraph to some degree their intentions, their protestations, their agreements, and shifting policies ... very very carefully.

Trump, Vance, Musk ... have upended this all with their amateur hour antics. They are not serious people. They think they can rewrite the rules but they've bought us at least a decade of hurt and isolation on the international stage, and likely worse economic prospects for a while. Nobody will trust us, even if saner leadership comes round in a few years.
I spend way more time troubleshooting than I do building new things. I'm a lead programmer on my team. I regularly hop on impromptu zoom calls to help people out with thorny problems or jump into slack conversations. I don't get a lot of focused time for building new stuff. I'm more valuable to my team keeping them running smoothly and enforcing standards that avoid some of the nastier troubleshooting.

At least part of the reason is strategic economic planning. They are trying to build a 21st century moat between the US and BRICS since everything else is eroding quickly. They were hoping AI would be the thing that places the US far out of reach of other countries, but it's looking like it won't be.
SQL Server uses NT and Win32 APIs, so the SQL team built a platform independent layer. Meaning NT and Win32 is still used by SQL on Linux. It’s pretty cool tech.

Redundancy and failover capability, mostly (in terms of everything.... power, network, storage, compute.) For a hobby project, what you describe is probably fine. For a real business, do you want to tell customers you're down because your one computer shit the bed and you have to run to Best Buy to get a new motherboard?
You created an alt account with "centos" in the name just to complain about CentOS. Yeah, it's the hatters that are the weird ones here.
Zelenekys issue with that plan is the lack of guarantees, because of what happened the last time. He believes Russia will restrengthen faster than his country and when interest wanes, comes right back.

Trumps issue is he knows the lack of guarantees is a better deal for the US because we gain much and risk nothing. He wants to make a deal and get credit, i dont think he really cares what happens after. Maybe he does, i wish that to be the case. But i dont believe it.

> Some antidepressant studies have even been halted because, ironically, the placebo group improved so much that there numerically wasn't much room left for the active group to be statistically better given the sample size.

One might wonder: could this be, in potentially large part, the placebo effect? I suppose that a good answer to that question would be a very big deal.
Rural collectives own agricultural land is not "government ownership of all land" which you asserted to be true.

Moreover, the devil's in the details:

( In China, your maint.loc.gov ) According to the 2007 Property Rights Law, when the term for the right to use land for residential purposes expires, the term will be automatically renewed

Which means that residential land use rights persist, as they do in the US, and while mineral rights remain with the state it's not the case that all land ownership in the US comes with mineral rights, these may have been signed awy by prior owners or retained by the State or Federal Government whe first transferred.

Both countries are more complicated than you sweepingly make things out to be.
This is pretty basic knowledge, there is only State and Collective owned land in the PRC. Individuals can only obtain _leases_ of State owned land. Property rights of _buildings_ are distinct, but will generally follow land title/lease.

In my case, the company I work for isn’t a software company. The bean counters / IT group would rather just have something tacked onto their existing Microsoft subscription vs. something entirely different.

Also, I suspect part of the reason people are hesitant to use GCP because Google is perceived as a company that will gladly kill products off on a whim. Not great for something mission-critical.

If that's the argument, then it sounds pretty flawed TBH. I mean how does not inheriting their wealth, automatically mean they created it? Is theft not also a possibility?
I'm in agreement with you!

I'm just saying the only reason SWEs (and IBs) get paid the big bucks is primarily because of market economics, even if plenty of other high stress roles (eg. Nursing, EMT, Teaching) get paid a relative pittance.

I think a lot of us members of the tech industry need to cut down on our hubris and respect other industries and jobs, and understand that we are cogs inasmuch as anyone else.
We aren't very far away from that, if you think we are you should look closer

Does it matter to you whether the answers you are given are correct? Google results are sometimes wrong but the web gives you signals about reliability, like the author, etc. If I want to know who wrote a paper, I can google the paper's name and get an ACM page about the paper or a PDF of the paper and read the author's name. Very reliable. If ChatGPT says the name I have no clue if it is right.

Multiple sources is a good thing. Using just ChatGPT is like only ever using Wikipedia as a source of all information, but put through a filter that removes all sources and attribution information and cross linking and history and those notices at the top of pages saying the article has issues AND normalising the writing style so that you can't even use bad spelling and grammar as a signal of inaccuracy.
this was a less dangerous idea before we had a president that threatened to invade border allies.
Mozilla's email-related service is https://relay.firefox.com/ which obviously needs to rely on quite a bit of Mozilla infrastructure in its default incarnation, and is probably a fair bit harder to self-host than Firefox Sync.
Graham’s opinions and stances on everything are akin to a flag blowing in the wind. As soon as the wind shifts, the flag immediately follows. Granted most politicians are like this but I’d venture to say Graham is one of the most consistent.
these EULA agreements aren't worth any more than the paper they're written on
His point, which he made very clearly, was not criticism of the US; it was distrust that Putin would honor a ceasefire. Zelensky explained that diplomacy is not enough, asking what diplomacy alone will accomplish with someone who doesn't honor their deals.

Vance took it in a really weird direction, first pushing "the kind of diplomacy that is going to save your country", then accusing Zelensky of not saying thank you (despite him having said thank you several times that very meeting?).

The reporters reiterated Zelensky's point, asking what Trump would do if Putin breaks the deal, and Trump just shoots down the possibility, saying he doesn't think it would happen and the possibility isn't worth considering. "What if a bomb drops on your head right now". His only justification being that Trump is president and Putin wouldn't do that to Trump.

Zelensky needs guarantees or the ceasefire isn't worth it to him, so it's fair for him to push back on the lack of guarantees even at the risk of annoying Vance. But they snapped back at him in a very unreasonable way.
"Every home network needs a MITM proxy too."

I have been running one for long time now. I depend on it so much that I cannot imagine using the internet without it. It is much smaller and easier to compile than a graphical browser.

Others will have different opinions but I personally remain skeptical that TLS provides internet users with more value than it provides so-called "tech" companies that profit from data collection, surveillance and online advertising services, and the CDNs that collaborate with them. While it can be used to protect a computer owner's sensitive data from eavesdroppers as it transits across the open internet, e.g., during "e-commerce", in practice TLS is used to conceal data exfiltration from the computer owner for commercial purposes by so-called "tech" companies. Not to mention the issue of "Certificate Authorities".

IMO, this is analogous to the situation with Javascript. It has the potential to provide value to www users, e.g., as a language computer owners can use to extend and control a graphical browser,^1 but in practice it provides the most value to so-called tech "companies" that are using it to control _someone else's_ browser to allow unauthorised and/or concealed data collection and surveillance.

I don't really understand this take, Russia can just withdraw from Ukraine and end all the killing in the first place.
Can any of those things be traced back to a specific positive outcome for anyone outside the US weapons industry? Like, say the US hadn't invaded Afghanistan back in '01 and the trillion dollars in budget had been put towards handing out how dinners for the poor instead - what would the negative part of that trade off have been?

Yes but it is quite obvious that you are on a site like that so you can ignore it. How am I meant to know if ChatGPT was trained on those websites? How do I know when it is effectively drawing from that vs drawing from a reliable source?

For small orgs: global reach!

If you need an active component near your customers for low latency responses, the cloud makes it very cheap to deploy tiny VMs or small containers all over the place. It’s trivial to template this out, scale up and down for follow-the-sun or to account for local traffic spikes.

If you need it, you need it, and nothing else meets this need except perhaps some CDNs with “edge compute” capabilities — however those are quite limited.
No navy would deploy a battleship today, no matter how good an anti-missile system it had. Only needs to miss one, and battleships just cost way way more than even a thousand missiles. Plus ballistic artillery just isn’t that useful compared to what a drone or cruise missle can do.
I agree with you (this is something that OpenTofu is trying to fix), but the way I do k8s provisioning in Terraform is to have one module that brings up a cluster, another to print the cluster's Kubeconfig, then, finally, another to use the Kubeconfig to provision Kubernetes resources. It's not perfect but it gets the job done most of the time.

So you say "it would be easy and seamless", but did you ever actually do it and upgrade to RHEL? Because most people throw that out as a supposed sales pipeline that was lost, but the real life metrics indicate that almost never happened.

Right. Some people want Sync, Pocket, oneline translation, etc. Others like me just want a browser. There should be a simple option to choose between a browser and some multifunction beast that some people and even more managers at Mozilla are dreaming of.

I feel the exact same way. I see a lot of benefits to writing by hand, but it is just so unbelievably, painfully SLOW, compared to my typing.
Don't forget the push for browsers to ignore your DHCP-provided DNS server and instead get their DNS from a server outside your control over an encrypted tunnel. It's an obvious attack on stuff like PiHole, with little to no real upside for users.
Please explain how a Russian nationalism that sees the Russian Empire at its height as a golden age is not a legitimate threat to all of Europe but especially Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, and Ukraine, such that NATO expansion is fully legitimated.

You can't blame NATO expansion for Russian aggression (and call it "threatening") while at the same time literally admitting that Russia is strongly nationalist and would love to reclaim all of its former territories (which is why all of those countries desperately wanted to join NATO).

Fuck dude, Russia is the largest country on earth (see: expansionism) and has the first or second largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. They have no right to feel "threatened" by their smaller neighbors banding together.
Interesting they chose to split prefilling into its own independent service, I hadn't heard of that technique before. I found this paper that researches why that could be beneficial: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.09670v1

>Just do the opposite of Trump / Musk, it will get you so close to being a saint.

yeah that didn't really work out that well with Kamala.

Problem is, over half the country just doesn't give a shit. Its easy to lose yourself on places like Hacker News and Reddit and think this is the general sentiment, but in reality, on the average 8/10 people around you in US either didn't vote or voted for Trump.
LibreWolf is opt in and if you click the checkbox named "Firefox Sync" thinking you're getting some kind of sync that isn't Firefox Sync I don't think there's any UI change that can help you.
I wish more people would remember that Ukraine was once 3rd nuclear power in the world but agreed to give it all away in return for promise that US will defend it instead.

This is why Zelensky keep saying he doesn't want another paper.
No, but being kind is.
The problem is that if there is a security incident, basically nobody cares except for some of us here. Normal people just ignore it. Until that changes, nothing you do will change the situation.
> We get nothing in return

Isn't most US NATO spending just hand-outs to the US defense industry?
Yeah technology never makes anything better. And the healthcare system is perfect the way it is.

This is the sarcasm thread.

Why would he "not last long"? Who would remove him? Would they not also remove Trump if they could remove Vance?

We do use some of that for building-to-building links. What would be nice is if smartphones supported a lower frequency band, so we could have some connection without having to be near a 2.4ghz hotspot. Our cell service pretty bad here.
The uncomfortable truth Donald Trump is finally articulating forcefully is that Europe built its welfare state under the US security umbrella, but then started getting cocky with antitrust actions, restricting American companies' access to their markets etc, while simultaneously doing next to nothing to secure their own neighborhood by investing in defense (France being a notable exception). Even if we charitably assume that they took 50 years to build back up from the destruction of world war 2, they have wasted the next 20-30 years with zero preparation or thought about their own defense.

No one did a thing when Crimea was taken. In fact, there was simply no firm response after Russia shot down the airplane brazenly. In fact, leaders such as Merkel further increased dependence on Russia by importing gas and integrating them deeply into Germany and many other EU countries' economies! Staggering incompetence and frank delusion!

Lol at "remember Vagrant".

I used it literally this year to create a test double of the NUC that runs my home automation stack. I also used Packer to configure Flatcar and create the qcow2 that Vagrant consumes.

Vagrant is still the best tool for creating a general purpose VM on your machine. It got kind-of forgotten in the containers and Kubernetes hype, but it still gets the job done. Packer is also the best tool for creating VM images that got buried for the same reasons.

The datacenter is coming back, though. IBM would be smart to invest in these tools as loss leaders to TFE and Vault and monetize the providers, IMO.
> I spent hours paying close attention to this thread and moderating it

And we thank you for it… but it also does strengthen the argument that it should be higher up exactly because you’ll want to get the most value out of the evident hard work you, and the others, including the very people you’ve called out who frequently apologise, revise, and add some context to why they felt that way, have done here.

It is a better, denser, broader and more considered sort of discussion than you find on reddit or Lemmy, it is confined to a single thread on a big matter, and it features excellent moderation work (and people being responsive to being called out more than even your typical economics post) - it should stand proudly. Moving it down more expediently because it is more divisive on average, I’ll admit that, does us all a disservice in my opinion.

Based on the livestream of the incident, I personally think the issue was the lack of a Ukrainian-English translator.

Vance was absolutely trying to score domestic political points by undermining Zelenskyy, but Zelenskyy was unable to communicate or respond in the manner he wanted to, and definetly committed some obvious Russian L1 / English L2 mistakes (Zelenskyy's first language is Russian and this can be seen by his "costume" statement, because the direct translation for suit across the CIS is костюм/costume [0][1][2][3] because of French influence), and he inadvertently insinuated that Trump wasn't doing enough even though he was trying to join Vance in dunking on the previous admin.

This is why the Japan and India meetings with Trump had English translators despite Ishiba and Modi having a similar level of English fluency to Zelenskyy.
