If all products ditch Electron, it satisfies the NSA requirements of having AI-generated backdoors on your computer, while allowing you to reduce your RAM consumption and letting this precious silicon for Sam Altman (He's quoted saying RAM is better spent in data centers than in personal computers - and in an era where everything is Cloud, one might wonder why the base Macbook Pro has 32GB).
> call it End Of Life with flagrant issues still happening
It's precisely because there are unreasonable issues that they EOL them. Retiring products because of issues should be encouraged.
How? Well all products should be sold as a service - medical devices are, even if they appear as a purchase, they have strong post-market surveillance requirements. But that makes everything super expensive. It's only affordable for rich economies like Singapore.
The Cloud thing is completely driven by software companies, not by their customers. I'm really surprised that we did succeed at forcefully moving unwilling customers to the Cloud, it really doesn't answer their needs.
But downloadable software today is completely free to hack. Downloadable software is akin to open-sourcing your software.
I'd rather see the name of the father be stuck to the kid so if he's a failure, everyone knows who failed him.
On the front yard of the court, the lawyer asked the wife for 1000€ cash to pay the judge, she's not wealthy so she could't withdraw that amount on her bank account, and her friends didn't scramble in time.
The man was convicted to 10 years, spent 6 actual years in prison. In normal times I'd doubt the story, but the fact that his wife fought for him, divorcing him only after the prison time, and still tells the same story, the consistency through time makes me believe she's legit.
"Back to the Future" was set in 2015, where Marty says "Arrested, judged and convicted in 2 hours???" and Doc answers "Justice is swift since we've removed lawyers". We don't be flying cars but we have this comedic performative justice without a single fair outcome (talking from France). Criminals are freed, prison is a big networking symposium for some jobs, good people whose accusers admitted to lying are thrown for 6 years, because they refused to give their lawyer a €1000 bribe for the judge... Things happen. And France is still seen as a civilized country.
- 1 computer and Google identity for administrative stuff: Primary accounts for AWS, Google. I also do accounting and have the list of customers. I still don't have any other solution than opening PDFs for the invoices, but it's better than nothing.
- 1 computer for programming, with a non-asministrator account for everything. Claude runs in Docker, with the dev directory mounted, .git:ro (read-only) and .env mounted to /dev/null.
But Claude tries to escape it A LOT. Claude is designed like a virus, we tell him not to do things, and it 1. tried to download the git binary from the internet, 2. read the remotes in the git directory and tried to access them, only blocked because it didn't have the credentials.
DEFINITELY forcefully block out Claude from seeing your .env files, it WILL try to brute-force an access to your intranet!!
I prefer to risk my life every day at not knowing what the government thinks is really important for me to know.
We're getting free from our software!
I find a lot of consistency of his audience in hating him for the very reason that he implements his audience's wishes. To this audience, there is no redeeming oneself.
Do they get the same marketing impact?
I'm ISO27001'ing my company and I wonder if some day, we'll find a better way than written policies, procedures, forms, evidence and audits. To me, it seems like our current world's biggest flaw: We're losing 2/3rd of our workforce to maintaining procedures, they make the work boring and unbearable, and they're not even efficient, even if they do provide upside in systematically organizing things. Standards (when pushed to procedures, forms and audite) are the regression-to-the-mean of collective organizations.
Maybe tell them you're a Netherlands citizen.
