There should be something like reddit for academic papers. With upvotes and what not. But I guess it takes people longer to read a paper than to read reddit content.
> Also, if they're filtering the choices of what to endorse based on their personal views (as many of the influencers are), doesn't that make it less of an ad?

A distinction is useful because it allows people to categorize for themselves what they think is a worthwhile sponsership. It's adding information to the market which wasn't present (or was hard to acquire) beforehand, which is always useful.

For a simple example, imagine an endorsement of makeup by Kim Kardashian, and a shop tool by Adam Savage. Initially you believe they are using the products because they like them and think they work well. Now you learn they were paid endorsements. Do you provide the same level of confidence to the suggestions of these two people based on paid endorsements that you do if they are not paid for those endorsements? I don't. One of them I trust to care about their integrity and reputation with respect to this, the other I do not.

I was pretty impressed how easy it was for me (a server newb) to setup my own GitLab CI on a AWS server. For my projects now it takes around 15 seconds from when I push to GitLab for it to be deployed.
Nice and clear way to think about it (and touching closer to the kind of numerical analysis I drilled most, too). I wonder, if having a good polynomial description of f then we can "just" use a Taylor integration method, approximating the inverses needed along the way with some high order approximation.
It looks like you're just way more used to XML than other formats. Not knowing YAML doesn't make XML any less terrible.

It took me 10 minutes to learn the YAML format and I find it incredibly more expressive, powerful and readable than XML.

Native app first is the problem, not mobile first.

Web apps designed for mobile first often give you a better desktop experience. Designers making a desktop web app feel obligated to fill the screen with stuff to make it clear that they did a lot of work. But if they start with mobile it stays focused on what's important. Additional interface element for desktop end up as actual enhancements instead of distractions.

Heads up: I work for a company that speeds up the background checks used for EV.

Tying real world identities to public keys is very much a part of crypto. Windows does it with package signing and EV, Debian does it with people holding up their passports at Linux events, and web sites do it with EV HTTPS.

And yes, we (CertSimple) are looking at Certbot support for EV.
I'm not sure I understand this. The claim is that "we dramatically improve the performance of insertions without hurting the IO cost of queries" by writing to the root's event log. However, it seems to me that this is only delaying the eventual write to the leaf node, not avoiding it. As more items are written, eventually the log will overflow and write to its children, and so on, until it is written to the leaf. This is what would happen in a regular B+ tree anyway, so what has been gained?

What am I missing?

> Or is Haskell's map equally not functional?

Haskell's `map` is a function at the time it is called. If it is called a second time, and new objects were allocated in between, then `map` is a different function, but still a function.

> And the set for map doesn't grow over time.

`mapcar` creates new object identities that didn't exist before. It's as effectful as it gets.

> If the work is good and the company is good, why leave?

Possible reasons, off the top of my head:

1. Being approached by a recruiter or hiring manager and end up being given an offer you can't refuse (eg much more money, dream job, etc).

2. Your spouse or significant other has to move to another city for their job, you don't want to leave them, and your current employer won't let you work remotely.

2a. Ditto with needing to move to care for an older and/or ill family member.

3. A shift of passion into a new career.

4. Health problems that cause such an extended leave of absence that you may as well leave.

5. I've encountered some managers who are leery of people who have spent "too long" at one place, wondering, eg "Why did s/he stay there for ten years? Did this person just find a spot to coast and collect a paycheck? Why hasn't s/he moved on to bigger and better things?" I think this line of thinking is just as knee-jerk as being leery of "job hoppers".

A good example is the Sandstorm platform, which fits both cases.

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't corn just a vegetable? Are we talking about the same corn (sweetcorn) or something else?

My intuition tells me that such a vegetable can't be "bad" for you, though that's probably because I eat it as part of my "vegetable" section of my diet.

Is this vegetable really in the same ranks as cane sugar, salt, sweeteners etc.?

> The culture was oppressive towards damned near everyone who wasn't of the highest class.

Yes, yes, "all lives matter". It doesn't change the fact that given a man and woman of the same class, it was generally more oppressive to the woman, Biblical queen exemptions notwithstanding.
That's just one part of AI. If you want to see how 'dumb' the 'modern AI' is, you just have to use stuff like Google Translate. Modern. But dumb. Not AI.

Does it need to stay that way? I'd assume there are only a couple of subdomains (www, news, maybe a handful more?), so replacing them with SANs or separate certificates shouldn't be too much work.
It's quite disappointing to see people defending a company that hires bigoted political activists to crawl users' projects in order to harass users for perceived political transgressions.

And what level of access do these on-staff political activists have to private user information? What measures, if any, does GitHub have in place to prevent one of their political activist employees from using privileged information to go after perceived political enemies or even just retaliate against users who protest being harassed?
Daemon is arguably sci-fi about the future of work. (I haven't read the sequel yet, but from what I hear, it fits better into that category.)

Charlie Stross's Halting State & Rule 34 could be slotted into that category as well, although they can be slotted into a lot of categories: Halting State is very much about the interaction between augmented reality, trends police groupware & management policies, the gig economy as it applies to telepresence & taxi services, & the emergence of a deep state in the west; meanwhile, Rule 34 interlaces the history of anti-spam movements with AI, sexual politics, and biohacking movements.

This view ignores the benefits of the large cities.

The rents are high for a reason. You want to go there. And not just for the cultural opportunities. Most people want good jobs.

You can't have everyone starting startups, or working remotely.

To put it another way, almost everything important and interesting you do will require other people.

> but if you are doing packaged structs that should imply you have a reason to tell the compiler you know better

I am pretty sure this could have been implemented better -- for malloc-ed and statically-allocated structs the compiler can know the alignment of the structure, so should be able to emit optimal code according to each case. Admittedly, probably a very minor improvement.

It is the feeling of surprise at the time that made me react -- this side-effect wasn't documented in GCC manual at the time, and still isn't.

We now have the attribute "aligned", so I am not sure what the code would look like for a struct {} __attribute__((__packed__,__aligned(8))).
As I wrote below:

However, as shown in another comment, the typical "everything is misogynistic" comment is due to intersectional feminism. Which in my experience, largely does claim that men have it very good just for being men, and women have it very bad, just for being women.

A blatant statement of "the culture was misogynistic" is an overly simple classification. The culture was oppressive towards damned near everyone who wasn't of the highest class.

I just don't believe that a rich woman like the Biblical Esther had it worse than a poor free man living in the city at the same time. So her experience with misogyny gave her a better life than 99% of the rest of the population.

> Yoy are creating a straw man and then arguing against it.

No. I'm arguing against the ideas proposed by certain groups of people. People who (in my experience) typically argue that "that culture is misogynistic" means "all men have it better than all women".

I've run into many of these people online and in daily life. If you don't believe this, I'm sorry for insinuating you do. I was reacting to the normal use of that terminology, which, in my experience, does have the meaning I said.
I took extra time to finish mine too. I just put the year I graduated on it and not how long it took. It's never come up and couldn't imagine it being an issue if it did.

A computer science degree is a serious challenge. There is no shame in taking longer than 4 years to finish it.

They're not the same.

Both YAML and JSON map to data structures in your program; scalars, sequences and mappings.

XML on the other hand maps to.. a DOM! You've still got to normalize that into what your program expects. SAX is not any better.

Everytime I land in a project using XML I know I'll spend orders of magnitude more time dealing with data than if the project had used YAML or JSON.
> N.b., a lot of the wailing over school costs is from the Ivy League and SLAC set; those prices drive up the average considerably.

Not really; there's not enough schools or slots in that set to drive up the average much.

> State universities are much, much cheaper. (Still spendy... but often an order of magnitude cheaper).

Both State universities and non-elite private universities have gotten expensive much, much faster than elite private universities (and both, especially State schools, have much less school-provided need-based grants available, resulting in much more dependence on loans, and much more impact on actual affordability from the sticker price increases.)

As others have pointed out, everything depends on context. Did you have several under-1-year stints prior to the current job? That might indicate a trend. One-offs generally will be asked about, but not counted against you.
Unless all your subdomains are unique (e.g. coming out of a PRNG) AND there are no public DNS entries for them, subdomain enumeration by DNS or IP space is super easy. Not using SAN because of info disclosure concerns is security through obscurity.

THIS.

Speaking as a hiring manager, I will absolutely notice any delays or interruptions in your education (unless ancient); in the event you don't give the years, it often becomes obvious when you list high school degree or summer jobs.

The key is to have a reasonable story about the situation. Finishing a liberal arts degree in five years after you spent the first four partying doesn't send a good message. Finishing a degree after taking a break to handle <other important responsibility - family, startup, etc> or as a consequence of a major change that helps employer? Not a significant issue....
Can you ask for an unpaid leave?
I'm in a position to hire at a startup, and I definitely don't care. One of my smartest friends took 5 years to graduate from Caltech and has a 2.x GPA to boot.

Also you should just write your graduation year for education anyways, not duration.
Although I somewhat tire of constant comparisons between Rust and C, in this case it's interesting so I'll ask:

Does Rust do struct packing any differently than C and what kinds of tradeoffs are associated with that? Most people don't even think about struct packing in the context of C++ (which is in many ways closer to Rust) because of vtables / inheritance / etc, but in this case I'd like to know if Rust does anything differently or requires something new to think about in this respect.
Historically ca-certificates has included certificates that Mozilla had declined to include due to lack of audits, most notably the SPI root certificate because some Debian infrastructure relied upon it. They've also generally been relatively slow in removing root certificates after they're removed upstream, despite any removal essentially being a security issue. I think as of six months or so ago there is no longer any difference between ca-certificates and upstream.
I'm not sure anyone would be impressed by Python via command line and nano/pico, beginner or otherwise. An interactive notebook with graphics/animations would be the best introduction. Something like this: http://haskellformac.com
Alright this might be a stupid question, but if packing is about the order in which the fields are arranged... shouldn't the compiler optimize that? I mean, it does much more complex optimizations already doesn't it?
It's a fair point that the only way for these artists to have become successful in a significant way at the time was to move to a town like New York that can supply the necessary patronage, but I'm not sure that I'd characterize the post as "very misleading".

Even with the city's money, the artists still did have to do the legwork to create a scene that was worthy of investment. Rich people aren't gullible saps who will be parted from their fortune at the first opportunity.

An artist also shouldn't have to be as wildly successful as Patti Smith to be considered a success. Other cities of high culture like Berlin have also fostered incredible art scenes over the last few decades, and without the overflowing capital of NY. Few of those artists made it big, but many did achieve comfortable lifestyles of more modest means, and I think we could say that they "created their scene".

Relevant quote from the article:

> The idea is that you live somewhere cheap, keep your overhead low, make whatever work you want to make, create your own scene. Nobody gets super-rich or super-famous, but dammit, they get to live their lives their own way, unbeholden to anybody.

Copyright infringement is to artists as H1-B Visa abuse is to programmers. Both make it harder to earn a living and depress wages/destroy jobs in their respective fields. Both tend to hit the individual or little guy harder than the big company/rockstar-copyright infringement can siphon enough sales from small presses or independent artists to make it no longer profitable to operate.

Many programmers seem to have no real care for creators, so it seems moral to them to more or less destroy their wages, force them to make money not off of creating, but touring, beg for tips via Patreon, etc. If the same thing was done to them, they'd be howling how unfair it is. How about your job pays you little to nothing and you need to advertise and get people to support you monthly on a crowdfunding site just to make ends meet in your field?
It depends on who initiated the breakup, and why. If a person got fired or laid off, that person might not have had any control over it. If the employee resigned, I'd be wary of any duration shorter than 18 months.

It might be that long before seeing your first "annual" pay increase. It is very common for me to see the crap raise that I got for the year and send out resumes to check on competitive offers, to see if I could do better.

It is also long enough to see a company on its worst behavior, and decide that enough is enough. I personally go two years with a merely bad--but not awful--company, to see if I can jump-start any improvements. After that, I send out resumes, and jump ship as soon as it is feasible.

But I'd also see that as an indicator of the quality of companies these days. I have only worked at two companies (out of 8 jobs) where I would have been happy to stay there indefinitely. They both got bought out, and the new owners laid me off without regard to my individual value.

I have always been "at will", so if you're going to question my durance at previous companies, I'm going to question your commitment to all your employees that have no contracts. That door swings both ways. If you're looking too closely at that, I might think you're trying to weed out candidates that are too sensitive to the corporate bullshit that may be driving your existing turnover rate, in which case, I might get spooked and either withdraw or demand a higher offer from the start.
Whoever you were talking to may have had the nous to deprioritize OnTrac even though you didn't specifically ask for that to be done. It seemed to me like the form of words was necessary because I'd complained about AMZL_US quite a few times before anyone actually mentioned that it was a thing which could be done - but maybe they're just hesitant to deprioritize that specific carrier because, as an in-house organization, it probably offers better margins than a third-party shipper would.
In one word, no. If asked simply say personal life events.
Integrating RAID into the filesystem solves a lot of problems, one big one being data integrity. When you have a dumb RAID layer unaware of the data on disk it will just replicate or shard it between disks, when you request that data back and you have replicas it has no way to verify that data is correct, if one replica is bad but the other is good your filesystem has no way to correct for it since it just sees one big block device.

Moving storage pooling functionality to the filesystem is the right call for anything with server workloads, ZFS's self-healing functionality wouldn't work without it (and this is precisely why I use FreeNAS instead Unraid or other alternatives, I care about the long-term integrity of my data, especially my VMWare images and photo collection).

The processes for handling LE cert renewals is quite different than for traditional certs with manual trusted-operator procedures.
