Even more amazing is that there are still people playing that game.

"Everyone seems to increasingly be in it for themselves, not for society."

As human beings, we have an underlying need for belonging and connection. All of us are by default programmed to be connected to our own interests. For many that circle broadens to their friends and family and for a few that broadens to their immediate community. Fewer still feel connected to their country and only some of us will feel connected to the world.

If you read just one article on web3, let it be this one.

I think it's pretty cool that video is getting such a performance boost, however there are more developers than video editors out there that could have used few more general purpose cores on the silicon. If you look at compile times, the M1 MAX is just slightly better than AMD mobile CPUs produced on an inferior process node. Nothing to write home about.

As with anything, we have to ask ourselves why are we offloading the responsibility to the OS providers to solve this, when we really have to determine for ourselves if the risk is even a risk at all on our individual systems. Do I care about this hard to exploit vulnerability on a web server that's streaming video content to the public? No. Does it matter on a DB server with important financial data? Yes it does.

Applying the patch should be opt-in if you ask me. But of course, most sysadmins are hopeless. So then the OS vendors push it out, it's safer than letting the decision to uninformed people.

There used to be a time when every town had a dairy and also nice men who would deliver it to you in glass reusable containers and perhaps even have sex with your wife.

I remember reading about an ELI5: The "Old Math" in Tom Lehrer's New Math. That post was funny.

If you haven't heard the song, he describes the way they used to do math as follows:

Consider the following subtraction problem, which I will put up here: 342 minus 173. Now, remember how we used to do that:

Three from two is nine, carry the one, and if you're under 35 or went to a private school, you say seven from three is six, but if you're over 35 and went to a public school, you say eight from four is six ...and carry the one, so we have 169.

I wish I could give it a try... I don't have a place of my own yet and no access to a kitchen, but hey! It could be worse. I'll save the recipe for the future though.
