That is, undoubtedly, a problem created by Google itself. See for example: Kagi’s small web (https://blog.kagi.com/small-web)

> I’m not saying that one should believe everything at face value

It’s for (often implicit) communities to decide; communities whose members share a certain set of norms.

Further, legality does not imply correctness.

For example, it’s probably legal to call somebody a transphobic slur in many parts of the world but to suggest that trans people shouldn’t attempt to avoid or “cancel” such people is ridiculous.

And if you sincerely think that the only acceptable action to take is make a petition to change the law, I would suggest you go out and touch some grass. The law doesn’t work that way.

1) This argument works only if the justice system is effective, which is not the case everywhere in the world

2) A lot of sexual misconduct happens behind closed doors and is (I would imagine. IANAL) difficult to prosecute. I’m not saying that one should believe everything at face value but if multiple people make such allegations it’s more likely than not that such allegations have weight.

3) Not all sexual misconduct is “illegal”. But it doesn’t mean that communities should not attempt to censor people who engage in problematic behavior.

Was atom functionally ever any different from vscode today?

Yeah I think this computation doesn’t work anymore once you factor in the tls handshake.

I think you’d be surprised to learn that Indian mobile speeds are pretty fast, at 133 mbps median. Ranked 26th in the world (https://www.speedtest.net/global-index#mobile).

They want your attention because it makes them money. It’s not attention for attention’s sake.

How was the auth done? And for that matter what logic did the traffic shaping use?

Anecdotally, whenever I see someone mention Matrix online, very frequently it’s to complain about it.

cgroups is for controlling resource allocation (CPU, RAM, etc). What you mean is probably namespaces.

> conviction that this future will be bright and worth embracing

This is a bold claim and one that needs backing up.

Your DNS server not resolving to localhost may also serve as an additional line of defense.

Sure but even if you exclude Silicon Valley, the minimum wage for a US worker must be a fair bit higher than the equivalent non-US worker.

Is it just about having dense industrial zones? I would have imagined cost of labor to be the major cause of price differences.

That was a great read. Thanks for sharing!

As parent says, would you rather have “undisciplined” obese people or undisciplined non-obese people? Because those are the realistic choices here.

(At least on iOS) shutting down the phone has something to do with wiping credentials/keys from RAM from where they can potentially be dumped. A just-booted phone is fully encrypted with no keys in memory.

Not sure about the nature of the generated code, but wouldn’t doing the equivalent of dynamic linking mitigate this problem?

Wikipedia says "In industry dimethyl sulfide is produced by treating hydrogen sulfide with excess methanol over an aluminium oxide catalyst”.

Which part requires a living organism?

Is this a difficult problem to solve? There’s only a handful of major cloud players and these questions don’t seem terribly complicated.

Or is it that it lets you answer arbitrary questions of this sort without having to figure out how to get that data?

Why do you call curl via the binary instead of using libcurl?

Wouldn’t the TTL value of received packets depend on network conditions? Can you recover the client’s value from the server?

At least it’s arguably better than working for giant ad engines.

Docker does not virtualize the kernel, in fact the kernel version “inside” Docker is the same as the host.

I’m not sure what this brings to the conversation. Are you able to attest to the correctness of what Sonnet claims?

I get what you're saying, but I’m not sure it’s fully true. If it were true, then all public companies would be bad (using bad in a loose sense here). I think Apple, for example, has a good balance between optimizing money and product.

From going public? What do you have against that?

What you said applies to programmers who are actually good.

Consider that the world is full of programmers who are objectively shit (I live in India, and have personal experience). The only difference is that they’ll be copy pasting from ChatGPT instead of StackOverflow, and honestly I’d rather have ChatGPT.

Homebrew and chocolatey?
