Joe Biden, the president elect, just gave a speech saying "Our priority will be Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American owned small businesses, women-owned businesses..." regarding pandemic recovery. This is a very popular appro

I've got a handful of years on you, and I disagree that this is anything like how the internet has always been. Unless you've got your head in the sand, you can see that tech companies have been steadily ratcheting up the use of t

I'm arguing that freedom of association is a non-starter as an argument from the modern American left.

What happens when ISPs decide to deplatform you? Domain registrars, certificate authorities? What about banks? At some point you're dependent on another entity if you want to exist on the internet. I think a noble goal would be to chan

The difference is that now we've centralized who decides what is "dangerous [and] fringe". Many of the ideas that are popular at big tech companies are considered exactly that by many people. Now, instead of each community de

Well, I disagree but I respect the internal consistency. You're a step ahead most of the people supporting this nonsense.

Everyone saying they deserve it for "facilitating attacks on the US government", ask yourself if you believe Antifa should be kicked off of every platform they exist on for burning police stations. This is hypocrisy. Far too much

This is exactly why I would never join a tech union. Just read their mission statement: this is about enforcing political goals via any power source they can get their hands on. Much like a lot of recent codes of conduct in open source proj

Funny, I thought it taught us that trust in institutions has almost completely disappeared. They've squandered it for years, and now they're bewildered that people don't trust them when they cry "wolf" anymore. This

Strongly disagree. BPF uprobes allow extremely fine grained tracing of userspace applications, and allow you to programmatically correlate them with kernel level information.

by seneca 6y ago
The kernel has a "god's eye view" of everything happening on its OS. With event based tracing in the kernel there's no chance of missing an occurrence because your sampling rate is too low, for example. You can also corr

Software companies that claim they "Work to make a Difference" strike me as cultish and are an immediate turn off. I work for a living, I volunteer and work in my community to make a difference.

No way in hell I would let Google anywhere near my financial information, regardless of some empty promise while they're trying to get a new app off the ground. I can't think of another brand that has managed to lose as much trust
