I think it matters a lot because the use cases are so different.

Just look at the US - tons of people now install a VPN app like Nord or Mullvad to get around state-level porn blocks. In other countries it's to get around other types of censorship. And to install those apps on something like a phone or laptop is trivially easy.

The use cases for installing Tailscale (I need a home network and I need to be able to access these devices from the Internet) is, I would guess, ~5% compared to the other VPN use case. I'm a software developer, and I don't need it.
I understand why they are excited about it—just pointing out it is a happy coincidence. They would have and should have made such a product to address the need of RAM users alone, not VRAM in particular, before they have a credible case to cut macOS releases on Intel.
That’s if you view cars as boxes that go from A to B judged exclusively by their spec sheet. But if you viewed them as such, why would you have a Plaid instead of a basic long range S?

Maybe if the driver cares about performance, but is only capable of using their right foot. The only enthusiasm is being pushed into the seat at the peak of the traction of the tyres, for all of a moment before the speed limit restricts them again. All without any other theatre. I can see the appeal of being able to have that performance without drawing attention to yourself, but then you specifically clarify your statement by excluding tracks or technical (fun) roads.

…Strangely, I thought I liked the Plaid until writing this. I’m enthusiastic for what Tesla has done to the EV market, and the Model S appears to generally be a good car (all my experience is in the Model 3 my Dad has. I’d assume the experience is similar) but I can’t help but feel like they’ve made something so utterly uninteresting as their top of the line halo model. What could’ve been the GT-R of this era seems to have barely grazed the automotive community.
> I really hate this idea of "far-right talking points" and "far-left talking points".

You might hate the idea, but it's actually an excellent characterisation of how ideas spread in a polarised environment.

If you ever try engaging with both extremes over a long period of time eventually you'll notice that both of them repeat the same narrow set of ideas and sound bites over and over again. It's like these people train themselves in having arguments by repeating the arguments they read about. If you spend enough time with these people you can play a game with yourself, which is to try and map out the set of existing arguments and try and predict if you say X what will the person respond.
Not right now, self hosting isn't a priority for us at the moment. It shouldn't be tooooo difficult to figure out though, the two main infrastructure dependencies are supabase and nextjs and everything else is for additional features. I should make an example .env file to make all that clear though!

> If I have to listen to someone with zero of what people would call "external distractions" I'm barely going to remember any of it. But if I can poke on my phone while I'm listening, maybe look up some information relevant to the topic, then I'm much more engaged and retain far more of what's being said.

This really makes no sense to me. It's well known that human cannot multitask beyond system 1 / system 2 in parallel, so you must be much better at micro time-sharing than pretty much everybody.
I understand there are arguments for it. I can even understand where they are coming from. What is interesting is many of these anti 2A sorts unknowingly speak their murderous intent out loud. They are that which they hate.
while i agree the only thing i’ll note here is the aforementioned GTR (R35) never came in manual.

>Is there a academic study of the heuristic of choosing between option A versus option B?

Americans like cheap

The data doesn't bear that out. Look at the best selling cars in the US, not many cheap cars on that list. Now compare it to the best selling cars in Europe, almost only cheap cars.

Top 3 car in the US are Ford F-series, Chevy Silverado and Toyota RAV. Top 3 cars in Europe are Dacia Sandero, Renault Clio and VW Golf.
There was a time that it did. But once someone started abusing the loophole, they closed it.
I asked before when that post came up here: what is the point?
My experience working on Google Cloud Platform is similar. Even when the solution is relatively technically simple, there are many organizational impediments and politics because the solution likely involves multiple fiefdoms.

The only thing that seems to get the fiefdoms to work on an issue is if a big enough customer calls enough of an attention to the issue so that no leader/fiefdom wants to be blamed in such a "high profile" issue that everyone got their work in gear for. This leads to organizational dysfunction since now everyone understands that there's no point in trying to fix anything until there is enough attention on it, and that is mainly achieved when a big customer complains.

I've even had projects that took months of engineering work that would resolve many user complaints about a lack of really basic functionality, and different elements of leadership would block the launch. I can only guess that some fiefdom did not like change and would not state their objection publicly, so I only got stonewalled, and I never got an explanation to throw away months of work. I am as certain as I can be that if a big customer complained loudly enough about the problem that such basic functionality was missing, the organization would demand that the fix be launched.
I think we have reached a terminus. But I do want to say I appreciate your respectful and straightforward messaging.

What I've described above isn't a theoretical problem, it is an actual occurring issue that has happened time after time.

I don't want to say it's "privileged" but I think you are personally down playing the difficulty these issues raised on specific groups.

If you read the Wikipedia article you will see that minority groups are significantly less likely to have up to date state IDs.

And respectfully anyone without a permanent address can also have a very hard time getting ID.

That point I'm making is that people in these groups will still vote for policies that directly negatively impact their ability to participate in democracy. Not a strawman argument, based on actual voter data.

It could be a part of the larger problem that a decreasing percentage of Americans are even voting at all.
Maybe I'm cynical, but I think most people probably comment without reading things all the way through, and in this case you can't just read the first paragraph and get the gist of the article. It takes a bit of time to digest the examples.
Computer Vision, from 3D Perception to 3D Reconstruction and Beyond
Biggest downside to this is the fact that the modem is probably locked down. Without the ability to issue AT commands to the modem this router will have less features than a COTS router that contains a PCI-3 LTE modem.
Here is a whole course, with videos and links to slides and readings.

https://github.com/margaretstorey/EmseUvic2020
This course is one of my favorite sets of notes and exercises to make the theory of 3D reconstruction from images more practical. I especially appreciate that the scaffolding code and images that support the problem sets are available and well-packaged. That means that unlike some online courses, I've been able to get enough tangible feedback to know whether my mental model is correct.

The course also uses Hartley and Zisserman's book, Multiple View Geometry in Computer Vision. While it's a very comprehensive book that's definitely worth owning, it's also kind of intimidating for self-learners. The course and the book together help to balance each other.
Hardly. x86 and ARM follow similar security underpinnings and outcomes. ARM has TrustZone, x86 has TEEs. I cannot think of a single attack demonstrated on x86 and not on ARM or vice versa. Could you please cite one?

I live in Columbus, Ohio with a current population roughly of 2.5 million, which is about 13% of the entire population of the Netherlands, and that's within 30 miles or less. That's not an atypical American city. In fact there are three of them in Ohio alone.

Within Columbus we have a few buses and that's it for transit, unfortunately - though we are working on building new bike lanes and reforming our zoning code to allow more dense development within the city and hopefully throughout the region too. Nothing but good comes from this and makes us wealthier as a city.

Most people living in Columbus who do commute to some job site, do so within 30 miles or less, and in cases where they commute longer than that it's because they actively choose to live quite far away from their workplace. We also have a large portion of the population (children, elderly, etc.) who do not have to make a daily commute like what we are discussing here, but instead do their daily activities locally.

What's important to note here is that there are no options - we affirmatively mandate that citizens purchase a car and incur all of the associated expenses in order to participate in daily life, whether that's going to church, the farmer's market, to a friend's house, or to the park.

In one area of Columbus I've routinely seen with my own eyes kids crossing 5 lanes of 45mph + traffic to get from one apartment complex to the housing development across the roadway. This is taken as normal. It's not. It's fucking stupid.

> My commute was ~30 miles for over a decade, back before I went remote. That was considered "local". From 2016-2017, my commute was ~80 miles.

Maybe that's a bad, and incredibly expensive design we should stop subsidizing? I'm not sure why we should focus on these edge cases, and they are indeed edge cases, when we can spend money more effectively to move more people more efficiently around our cities. If you want to live 80 miles away from your job more power to you, but I don't think everyone else should have to pay for it.

But it sounds like it's not common. Yet.

I guess I was focusing on the most obvious cases. If a pill makes everyone skinny you'll notice much more that there's no more huge people than that skinny people's body fat went from an average of 13% to 11% or some such. I do agree the motivated have more likelihood to improve, but on a societal level I tend to think first of raising the bottom of the group. I agree with your points.
And yet instead militias are targeted, while disproportionately sparing say the army. It's not the pursuit of justice and equal 'protection' of law, it's a calculated targeting to induce crime to lock away unwanted people over non criminal disagreements.
I don’t spend much time on Discord servers (mostly just use it for DM with specific people) but certainly spent a lot of time on IRC in the 90s / early 00s; are channel bots not a thing?

there must be an existing language that is perfect for prompt coding without even looking into the generated code.

IMO elixir is one possible candidate
We put a lot of effort into making sure our nuclear infrastructure isn't vulnerable to a decapitation strike. I have no idea how AI might cripple all subs, for example.

I completely agree that the line is the dangerous part, and it's an unclear target to aim for! I think that's exactly why we don't see major strikes against nuclear powers. Nobody has a public policy stating "we won't nuke you until exactly X, Y, and Z happen" so everyone else is left guessing. This is far from a complete deterrent, which is why we still see probing attacks like Solarwinds, but they do not strike me as decapitation attempts.

If your entire concept of a fast car is one that accelerates really really fast from a stoplight every once in a while, Plaid is your ticket.

It does not replace cars like the R35 for people who like to drive, track, or modify cars though.
This problem is unsolvable, because we don't want to solve it. Social Security is under attack, while keeping 23 million people out of poverty and being one of the most efficient value transfer and benefits system in the world. We don't want to raise taxes to improve funding for it. Wall Street is chomping at the bit to get access to worker retirement funds. Pensions are unpalatable, even though they could be accomplished with Australia's superannuation model, and are necessary for workers to get investment cashflow to obtain exposure and fiduciary management of the investments.

> How do I even guess if some config-file is hidden in ~/.config/ or ~/.local/share

A config file always belongs in ~/.config/PROGRAM. It never belongs in ~/.local/share/PROGRAM.

Data files (e.g. icons) belong in ~/.local/share/PROGRAM.

User-specific state (e.g. window positions) belongs in ~/.local/state/PROGRAM.

Executables belong in ~/.local/bin/.

Cached files (which may be deleted any time for space) belong in ~/.cache.

I believe that the answer is that certain of those directories make sense to share across different hosts (e.g. your laptop and desktop) and others don’t.

Compare the British experience of privatising their railways. What happens in practice is that other countries' state-run railways take ownership, extract profit and use it to help subsidise the non-privatised railway systems back home.

The outcome is about what you'd expect; it is unclear why this pattern is expected to be a win for the British public, and the policies are now slowly being reversed.
Thank you! There is nothing wrong with large libraries. But you are right, there is something very satisfactory in solving a problem in a few lines of code.
I don’t doubt that you’ve made Terraform work for your needs. The point isn't that Terraform can't be used for dynamic infrastructure—it's that doing so requires workarounds like pre-split state files, sequential applies, or additional tooling like Terragrunt. That’s not the same as having a truly dynamic system where resources can be created and modified in response to real-time conditions without external orchestration.

Terraform works well for many cases, but the fact that you had to “figure out how to do it properly” kind of proves the point—it’s not inherently designed for dynamically changing infrastructure within a single apply cycle. If it were, you wouldn’t need external coordination to handle something as simple as "create DNS records for all instances, even if the number changes at runtime."

At the end of the day, Terraform is great for declaring infrastructure, but it lacks the flexibility of programming infrastructure. If you’re happy with the trade-offs, great—but let’s not pretend those trade-offs don’t exist.
I don’t know enough about the USPS to comment, but I just want to take a moment to hate on Amtrak.

I know there is a huge “we love trains!” crowd among urbanists but Amtrak takes longer and is FAR more expensive on most routes than planes. Ultimately going all-in on airports was probably the better play than high speed rail.

I commonly see people say stuff like “what if you could get from NYC to Miami in 2 hours?” That would require a train ~15x faster than our current highest speed rail service, but only a ~30% faster commercial plane.

One of the highest frequented routes on Amtrak is NYC <> DC. This usually puts you out 200-300$ unless you can book months in advance (which essentially would defeat the point of a train but I digress) and takes 3-4 hours. By comparison a plane will take about an hour and if I book one just two days out that’s only $200. If I have a week or two of notice it quickly drops below $100.

It seems to me that people hate planes mostly because of airports and schedules not being convenient. This is a totally different problem than method of transportation, and one that is far easier to solve.

It would be infinitely easier and cheaper to make airports fast and efficient compared to expanding and maintaining high speed rail across the US. It is not fair at all to put USPS and Amtrak in the same bucket as while Amtrak is subsidized by the government it is insanely expensive. Americans are essentially paying Amtrak for the right to charge us ungodly prices in the name of “trains are cool.”
Steve Wozniak blasts Musk's DOGE over 'sledgehammer' approach
I recently got an 81 Vanagon, it's got all of that except hydraulic steering and low weight, but I only have the two front seats which helps with weight a bit, and it's probably close to a light truck weight, back when they made light trucks. It's a lot of fun. No power steering, no power windows, no power from the engine, but I get to stomp on the throttle all the time.

Later model years added all sorts of bells and whistles like water cooling, power steering, and signs of life from the engine, but who needs that.
An added bonus is that money for the GTR doesn’t go to a nazi though.
If there were such methods, and if these methods were used to compromise-proof an institution, then that institution would see the hammer drop down on them from above like nothing anyone (bystanders, pundits, the world) has ever seen before. Everyone scooped up with black headbags on, rendered to black ops sites.

Because, at that point, the government has exactly one play left... to make everyone so afraid of compromise-proofing that no one bothers. This isn't unprecedented, by the way. Silk Road and Dread Pirate Roberts was a similar situation, and they used illegal NSA surveillance to unmask him and parallel construction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction) to prosecute.

When they have a monopoly on violence and trillion dollar budgets, you're going to lose even if you have superior tactics.
Configuration languages are just structured data, and programming languages also need to be able to express complex literal data.

JSON is already explicitly designed as a ~subset of JavaScript. An equivalent of a JSON written as a JavaScript literal is easier to read than JSON. The only problem is that we often don't want to use an interpreter to parse data.
But I don't miss manuals printing black on brown things for copy protection.
