I may very well be mistaken. By poorly edited I mean there is much heedless verbosity, rather than many grammatical errors. An under-appreciated job of the editor is trimming and tightening, chasing out the dry chaff.

I’m sure to be in the minority in finding this fellow’s writing poorly edited and roundly devoid of incisive insight. I’m being droned at by a textbook whose author has an italics fetish (lest I miss his point in a deluge of exposition - em

In our present marvelous age of information, instructions for painless suicide abound. In societies which grant primacy to the rights of individuals to live and die as they see fit - that is, in which there is a degree of free speech - thes

I do believe death is unjust, though not an invalid solution. Death is the fundamental injustice of existence. That something is natural does not make it just. The quest to vanquish death is a perpetual motif in recorded history, across cul

No, I’m not an advocate of suffering. I’m a skeptic of the state’s role in its ultimate antidote. As a cadaver may not be incarcerated productively, I question if one’s right to death is - or can be - denied. Moreover, is not assisted dying

Is it not dystopian for the apparatus of state to be involved in suicide? Is killing not a gross violation of the Hippocratic Oath? Assisted dying seems an evil thing to me - all the more so because suicide is feasible without society’s inv

Your response made me reconsider two of my claims. Evolution _can_ provide a teleology of both humankind and of consciousness. The latter may be understood as a genetic trait which provides extraordinary survival fitness, and so existence,

In fairness to the explicitly agnostic, I don’t think evolution or genetics are teleologies of humankind, or of consciousness, or even of simple life. These primal questions remain unanswered, if not unanswerable. Granted, a whole host of p

How strange to find so very many people working in soulless drudgery in this world where no one is forced to do anything.

Self-awareness - let alone analysis! - is not a part of their or their viewership’s culture. May as well ask when Donald Trump will next reflect on an emotional state not his own.

No, probably not. The word “Zeus” is far older than Greek - it’s a Proto-Indo-European word, and he is an Indo-European sky god, with analogues from India to Iberia. (“Dios,” as in the Latin languages’ word for the Christian god, has this d

That would not be abuse. Eminent domain isn’t theft, and can hardly be characterized as illegal.

The two filters you mention could likely be implemented by anyone with reusable Github Actions workflows.

I recently implemented Terraform for a Jamf instance. In my experience macadmins are often much better at code driven workflows than Windows admins. MacOS is, after all, a real Unix. And Apple’s MDM protocol documentation is far superior (t

There is a lot of innovation, with many viable options, in the Apple MDM market. Kandji, FleetDM, micromdm, etc. In my experience, Jamf is only the ‘gold standard’ when one has only cursory knowledge of the space.

Because suffering is a facet, perhaps even the salient quality, of sapience. Awareness of one’s ephemeral existence, awareness of absurdity, particularly that of pain’s pointless pangs, are attendant to any sufficient self-awareness. Ignora

When I used it, I was managing mostly Macs - and I never used it pre-vmware. This probably encouraged my flippancy! Is there even an established, reliable alternative to intune for Windows? I don’t know.

I’ve used it. At large enterprises with sophisticated deployments. I disagree.

The senior sysadmins neglected to configure osquery’s client performance safeguards and apply properly scoped access (observer mode!) on the server. Systems administration is the art of protecting everyone with less access from footguns whi

Deploy your own, stand-alone osquery instance - it’s open source. Airwatch/Workspace One was a terrible product even before the acquisitions. You may want to try FleetDM, an MDM product that deeply integrates osquery (an intersecting s

As we are not cooks and git is not a kitchen, one must take issue with your “literally.” Be wary of ever qualifying an idiom that way, as they are so often prepackaged metaphors, as here! But your point is otherwise an insight. Coordination

The medium doesn't matter: it's metonymy, pars pro toto. Pulp fiction remains pulp fiction despite literal pulp's retirement.

“The modern equivalent of pulp fiction…” is pulp fiction. It isn’t some antique term connoting a dross sui generis (as that’s an oxymoron). Pablum is literacy’s unalterable, insuperable attendant.
