Agreed. Having Jeff and Joel on the podcast was great and the hosts really complimented each other. However, once Jeff left, that was pretty much for me though and I tuned out after a few episodes. Just wasn't the same without Jeff.

Personally, I was a latecomer to the podcast and was about a year behind the launch of SO but still in top 13 today.

Is that Illumos or SmartOS or are those considered interchangeable these days?

Any thoughts on re-listening to your previous podcasts, finding interesting topics that were either skipped or digressed from and inviting back the guests to do a Q&A style podcast? I feel there are deep wells of interesting topics to be discussed.

Now Bezos has all reels of DJT from filming the Apprentice. I wonder how long it will take until we see those leaked. I predict, it will come out once some big legal hammer falls on the 45th President.

Love to see that relationships (edges) are directional. I hate to see graph models where relationships are bi-directional as it loosens up data rules far too much with very little benefit.

I've worked with systems where the relationships are typed and can have attributes just like the vertices allowing the system to model data in a more intuitive fashion.

Give me ZFS option in the installer, I will give it a go. Presently om Ubuntu because it has the best desktop experience with excellent ZFS support out of the box.

One missing mention is `console.groupCollapsed(label)` which is handy for nesting large dumps of data that you don't want to steal visual real estate.

Eg: console.groupCollapsed('data$ at load'); console.groupCollapsed('GridData'); console.table(data$.GridData.toList()); console.groupEnd(); console.groupCollapsed('Loads'); console.table(data$.Loads.toList()); console.groupEnd(); console.groupCollapsed('Drv'); console.table(data$.Drv.toList()); console.groupEnd(); console.groupEnd();

This will present `> data$ at load` and clicking on the chevron will open the data showing the list of entries and clicking on their chevrons will show the table for each.

Agreed, that is a significant cause. However, that must coincide with a updated monetization model for the platforms to account for the inevitable drop in user engagement. This free platforms model is a hot mess.

Agreed. I went to Reddit r/networking and the mods were closing helpful threads in real-time :(

I just watched a CBC Marketplace spot on this topic. What scared me the most was the danger of toxic materials in fake products and especially makeup. Some lipsticks from brand name knock offs had had mercury levels hundreds of times higher than the maximum levels recommended by industry standards.

Probably several dark versions of this out there have access to this type of technology already. Its just too tempting for maleficent organizations around the world to ignore.

Just think about the investigators around the world (FBI, DEA etc...) who are combating evil organizations but are not careful with the the information the post online; those people are screwed. Time for a new job.

I'm glad that this one was done in the USA so we have a way to bring more light to these issues.

I suspect (and hope) that clearview AI will not last long here in its present form.

Would be great to have a way to roll through time rather than just look at present day.

Great presentation tool.

Why are they not considering keeping the pre 1.2 compressed runtime.pclntab and have the data be decompressed to a separate file on first run. This way, memory footprint is kept low whilst keeping executable size down?

This is great news for the Rust community as Bryan has been a strong proponent of using Rust at lower levels of computer systems such as drivers and it sounds like Oxide will be focusing much of their development on this level of development in order to deliver best in class enterprise grade servers.

This is a fantastic development for the Rust community that will likely have a positive impact on the linux ecosystem, in the long run if they do this driver development in an open manner.

I look forward to following their developments.

I often maintain hard white list for remote services when VPN is not an option.

A cool option that does not have much implementation out there is using port knocking to open ports on demand. If the scheme is dynamic, it could be virtually impenetrable.

Another way to go is to have a web app on your network, behind some decent authentication scheme, that has a menu option to open a remote access session. This app then white lists your IP on your edge firewall for N time for service and presents a quick launcher link -or- send email with link etc. This would be a good option for an SMB with little tolerance for VPN.

RDP uses a single port so opening a port on the public IP NAT for RDP is trivial, however it's always best to hide RDP behind a VPN. This security rule applies to pretty much any remote access protocol, which you should avoid having listening on the open Internet.

Saw that too. What a wicked feature. Will make reverse engineering and debugging other peoples code much much easier!

Assignment expression is something I miss from JavaScript which I used a lot to strip lines of code. Great to see in Python.

I recently had an IPMI on on of my Supermicro servers and it was super funny to hear the conspiracy theory from the SuperMicro support that it was not working because maybe the Chinese were worming through a backdoor that was hidden on the machine.

I'm quite sure that the issue was just a faulty IPMI as I've seen it happen before with older units but I had a good laugh.

I'm a believer in Murphy's law where whatever can happen will happen. Supply chain attacks are quite possible, would be very fruitful and therefore must be happening. But will we ever get the truth from the big vendors? I don't think it will happen any time soon but with this x-ray technology, it will be way easier to detect them.

I wonder if this technique can be used to scan a PCB as they can be in attack vector for supply chain attacks.

Was also thinking of Proton-Native. Was hacking with proton recently and it was not working correctly on a few fronts.

Have you had any experience with react-native-desktop?

You are correct that the ratings system is fundamental to the breakdown of these systems. I don't believe we really fixed those corruption issues. I'm looking forward to seeing some analysts of the ratings from independents vs S&P etc.

We also cannot downplay the significance of speculation systems themselves. There needs to be more burdens put on such financial mechanisms to prevent them from getting out of hand like in 2008.

I wonder how much troubleshooting and debugging strategies in early designs play into the long term niceness of systems. Software and hardware developers who love debugging wicked systems may likely lead to the development of wicked products and processes. If debugging is a first class deliverable of the project then maybe the end product will be less wicked?

I have seen so many complex systems that are wicked to debug as they had absolutely no formal debugging strategy. Many failed as a result of this.

Needless to say, I am a big debug first kinda guy.

I agree whole heartedly. I've been following their work for some time now. The collaborative work coming from around the world is great to see.

There are very limited cases where growing trees for carbon sequestration purposes is a net benefit for the planet. Yes, there are places where land is un-utilised, and water is sufficient but it's often better for the environment to allow wild plants grow so wildlife can flourish. Here is a very good article by the respected Bob McDonald speaks to this topic: https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/trees-carbon-emissions-bo...

I am trying the interface after first login via google drive and cannot find out how to start a new document. I am not presently an orgmode user and use EccoPro on Linux.

Is there a way to create a new document in the mobile interface?

I recall my brother coming back from a trip to Japan with a top end Walkman in the early 90's. It was seemed to be all metal and so small. Was a mechanical work of art.

If the scanning system has a database of your regular pulmonary patterns, can't this be used, albeit crudely, to detect the emotional state of a subject?

With automation I can't help but think that this is unfortunately going to bring George Orwell's dystopian vision closer to reality.

Thanks for the info. Now know to steer clear of NF.
