You'll find that linuxbrew exists, apart from the AUR being a thing. And yes, apt and other distro package managers work perfectly fine in both wsl and wsl2.

You might also like umatrix for this, it gives unmatched control over blocking resources.

This was the case a while ago, but this has been fixed, I am able to resolve archive.is to the correct ip using 1.1.1.1

How does that change anything? The amount of ease of use you get from the internet is not zero-sum; everyone benefits from it.

Calling the internet "cable television as a service" is ignoring the incredible reach and user-friendliness of the modern internet, and all the advantages that come from that. Nostalgia is okay, but that doesn't change the fact that the current internet brings a lot more information to a lot more people, albeit with differing quality. It has absolutely changed humanity for the better, and is orders of magnitude more transformative than what you seem to be calling old internet.

This might just be my experience, but I've found Quora to be of extremely poor quality questions/answers with a few outliers. Reddit on the other hand seems to have both good answers and people just horsing around, but not as much astro-turfing as I find on Quora answers.

Ather has been doing an amazing job with their first vehicle, I'd definitely purchase one of I were still in Bangalore. I have high hopes for more in the future from them.

Iosevka converted me into a narrow width font fan, +1 for this suggestion.

The idea that you speak of, about bug entrenched companies not being able to see new things coming - it's the central theme of The Innovator's Dilemma. I highly recommend that book if you wish to read about this further.

If it were a different color, yes. If each of them were a different color, your eye would still be able to, as long as you had enough focus. So the analogy holds pretty well.

As an aside, I've been reading the Matt Levine newsletter over the last few days, and I've really enjoyed it. Does anyone have any recommendations for other good newsletters of this kind?

If you're interested in reading about AI goal theory further, I suggest Superintelligence, orthogonality and CEV as books/topics you could explore.

Where's your line on what constitutes politics then? Is a discussion on let's say patterns of harassment of female employees by senior staff and ways to avoid that a political discussion? Is a discussion of salary disparities at the company among employees of different genders and races a political discussion?

The point is that instead of drawing a line around topics to say which ones are acceptable and which ones are not, there should be a line that says any discussion that causes harm/hurt to colleagues is frowned upon and to be avoided?

It's quite easy to say let's avoid politics because it causes problems at work, but that stance ignores the nuance in the situation.

This is akin to the idea that you don't need privacy unless you have something to hide. Freedom of speech is important, but at the same time, so is the responsibility of a person to his team and community to maintain a minimum level of politeness and empathy. That entails understanding that some people are affected by some political issues significantly more than others, and that it might be intimately tied to their working situation.

A person's privilege to speak out about issues facing them in the course of their work is to be protected, irrespective of it being offensive.

And that is the problem, isn't it? If the majority had been left to make decisions, things wouldn't have changed. Things only changed because the minorities spoke up and convinced the majority that change was needed. This is why discussion, debate and dissent are necessary, because opinions should percolate and attitudes should be exposed to contrary influences.

I think a large majority of the arguments here are folks looking at this through an engineering lens, trying to optimize the workplace at the cost of minorities or discriminated groups, but shouldn't this be the other way around? Workplaces should instead be optimized for everyone to be able to work there, and inclusion is an important part of that goal.

The ideologue does what the ideologue does, and campaigns for change. That's as you said, their role is to believe that change is possible, and that their efforts will contribute to bringing it about. And the whole point of theirs is to reach out to the non ideologues. The fact that there's some bad actors out there that either die to incompetence or maliciousness make a mess of it doesn't mean that the ideology is flawed.

The poster was making a pun, replacing pwnd with pawnd, with pawn as the chess piece.

You could run everything in containers.

For Indian developers that's above average pay, and HCL has a heavy Indian presence.

Prices for developers outside of the US and Europe are actually quite low, and part of the reason is the low costs in other countries that let companies get away with paying less, and another part is that there's a lot of engineers available.

Even if the average engineer is not as good, there's so many engineers in India that companies have a huge candidate pool from just the above average ones.

I'd suggest turning termination protection on across production instances as a first solution, and consider some sort of infrastructure as code in the long term.

By creating a weapon of mass destruction that destroys whole planets? I think the scale of that endeavor and the resulting destruction of Alderaan is justification enough for destroying the Death Star. But destroying Alderaan itself? I don't see any justification for that in the vein of him protecting his empire. They certainly didn't seem to pose a threat big enough for the planet to be destroyed.

When one side escalates to that point, and the other side takes away their weapon of escalation, it's false equivalency to try to equate the two.

From personal experience, this is not really true, there are some languages that do maintain some sort of mutual comprehension, but the vast majority in India have no guarantee of that apart from a few choice root words. Speakers of a particular Dravidian language will almost certainly not be able to understand another, and you could make the same argument for Indo-Aryan languages with a very high percentage of success. It's like calling English and French the same language because they have some words that have a similar root. Or even English and German.

Tala Moana, exile!

Very interesting to see a GGG answer here! I admit to being very curious about the Path of Exile architecture, and your answer has barely whet my appetite. I have some questions that might give me better clarity over architecture if you are up for answering them: 1. How is data replicated across regions? And how is trade across regions handled? Do the instance servers hand over character data to the account authority in the new region? 2. I remember speculation about some builds that caused extreme amounts of server side compute and slowed things down, was this compute performed on the instance servers? Like poison/chain/monster damage calculations? 3. Is there any sort of automated detection of inconsistent game states done by the instance servers? Duping protections or some such? 4. What is the scaling plan like at GGG? Does the system have obvious bottlenecks that are known or is it easy to scale for the near future?

He mentions this in the earlier post. He tried that once before with a game, where he put quite a bit of effort into making the graphics better, but people didn't really notice the improvement, they still complained about the graphics. From this, he concludes that what people want isn't just a short upgrade, it's a vast improvement in quality, and he cannot afford to spend time on that at the moment. I think that's a fair tradeoff that he can make from the numbers, and his experience in the industry gives his decision a lot of weight.

Of course they don't affect other queries, these would be non-locking queries on replicas. Or, to be even more accurate, they'd be non blocking queries on indices cached in memory on edge servers and probably several levels of optimization beyond that. There's no reason for these type of queries to lock a database.

Also appears in Asimov's classic "I, Robot" collection, as a Powell and Donovan story called "Runaround"[1].

Docker containers don't have a robust security boundary, due to the kernel sharing that they do. These micro VMs combine the low resource cost of a container with the solid security boundary of a VM, which is very useful in a multi tenant architecture.

AWS Fargate and AWS Lambda run entirely on micro VMs.

There's this[1], though not exactly what you asked for.

This is a very interesting take on the road we should have taken with respect to cybersecurity. I agree with what you said, but I think there's still scope for this sort of thinking in current nation states. It's a strategic mistake, but one that a generation more in touch with technology would probably not make as easily, so I expect that there's already people thinking this way in most governments, and that will only increase in the future.

They did tell the vendors about this, and the vendors actually released a patch too, all this before the tools were leaked.

I remembered this comment when I noticed that the person that wrote the Dockerhub breach blog post [0] was a Mr. Kent Lamb. Baader-Meinhof?

I would love a source for this, or any further reading recommendations on similar topics.
