I like nix and its approach but if I'm being honest I think its also getting easier to be sloppy about dependencies and ask AI to find any dependencies that might be missing from the cleanly installed packaging metadata. There's maybe a paradox for developers in that we can try to drop structure and brute force scan first intensively enough to catch anything likely to get caught or we can ask AI to finally apply all the rigorous methods we decided were too expensive for routine software and probably have minimally more things to run with each release.

The standard for pretty much any multiuser app of a reasonable size is a quorum of SQL or noSQL DBs preferably as a single source of truth for all retainable state. Personally, I think foundationDB is the closest to an attempt to make the minimal viable base layer that I've encountered. But C/C++ based and then owned by apple make it not suitable for the role.

I don't think it was a bad idea, doing any idea requires an investment and a better investment would have been kernel layer, just ask the history of export control law what the US feared breaking more. Having security in userland means attacks in kernel or in userland are worthwhile against it. In the kernel it could have been secured better than OpenSSL was with less resources and could have had keys unavailable from userland. Instead it got basically no uptake as everyone hobbled along on slightly more resources spread even thinner on OpenSSL clones.

Sure but here you are not talking about the 100000+ local firm experts for windows networking or coding with agents you are talking about the people who can rewrite the best advice that makes those local experts out of date where their small experiences probably don't make up for not having integrated X, Y or Z yet.

If they create a system to compensate expert AI users wouldn't that career have a problem in that anyone (enticed by the new careers existence and) integrating their advice on any company particulars with a (weeks) more modern approach is basically putting them in the role of domain expert being eliminated.

Why TUIs are back 3 months ago

The TUIs I've looked at seem to be largely NPM dependent? Bizarre that agents apparently don't have time to rewrite themselves in something that isn't a security tire fire. It kind of makes me assume that all this agents taking over stuff is from people working at garbage-pivot-garbage startups that don't really have to worry about any consequences but not being fast enough.

I find this take a bit silly. There are perhaps a dozen companies that could put as complex a surface out as Ubuntu has and actually expect to defend against any sort of sustained interest from a nation state. Canonical absolutely could have made better decisions in the design of many things for this situation but doing that as a corporation that isn't under attack is extremely hard when no one wants long delays for theoreticals.

It doesn't seem like it is at a deep layer such that it could be used to test updates to kubernetes and CRDs in a cluster that isn't yet updated?

The USB Situation 3 months ago

They now have the option to silently add this kind of detail to logs and have clippy find answers to why is my computer odd/slow only when asked. For a long time I felt like companies leaving product decisions to the Occamist (or the closely related lazy programmer) was a superpower to compete against larger organizations that usually don't, but we may get a run for our money from emulated simplicity.

You are apparently very happy with a market that is defined by an economist who views it as you view the prediction* market.

Prediction markets are useful in their own right because they help people plan with information independent of themselves and more accurate and less biased than other sources. That is very similar to a market allocating a societies future allocations through rewarding holding of past investments. Both actually have many of the same problems and elimination of either can not prevent insider trading on information or significant resources being wasted on zero sum game aspects or faults in how such simple systems of reward function layers allocate as well.

(If you plan to propose to a partner in September might it not be helpful to have an opinion about the night of the 28th? Is that more or less important than the OTC penny stock for a probably defunct mine that possibly has copper? But why not pick equivalent strong points. If you are planning purchase like a next auto might you find future energy market related bets helpful to estimating long term risks for your choice?)

We really have no evidence that if he accidentally had a few extra billion he wouldn't have done the right thing and reported his crimes so he could divide the proceeds with people he illegally borrowed money from, though clearly not immediately first he would need to wait for it to come back from loans to his associates where he would have had to augment the bellow market interest rates with money he saved from his childhood allowance.

I'm not familiar with a stealth meant for even when you have to park it sometimes. If anyone has a great drone dominance then all your anti drone should go into drone related infrastructure. If someone has the corresponding high dominance then you can wait until nature runs out of resources for maintaining the absurd.

The US is a strategy of failure since Vietnam because it is profitable to war hawk supporters to lose every war in the economics and funnel the money back into more strategic losers.
