Not necessarily - I've found that static analysis tools (Coverity etc.) have limitations, and I'd expect them to find less than half of these kind of bugs - serious fuzzing tends to find more.

The static analysis tool has to work with the type system of the language, and C's type system isn't particularly helpful, so the tool has to find a balance between flagging almost every pointer dereference as "potentially a problem", most of them being false positives, and flagging only the small percentage of actual problems that can be unambiguously proven to be problems with the context available inside a single function definition.

$3 billion per year isn't that much at that scale, it would still take them many years to burn through their estimated cash reserves. That is if they did nothing and earned no money, but they earn something. They would have time to come up with a plan even if it were a backup backup plan that involved shedding a large fraction of the company.

If anything being public hinders options. Being private they can do a huge number of things public companies cannot, first and foremost is an IPO.
"In April 2014, City Councilman Ben Kallos, who received $2,500 over two elections from Local 14, introduced new legislation to prohibit climber cranes like the Skypicker from being classified as mobile cranes. The rule would treat the Skypicker like a tower crane, requiring it to carry more insurance and have a Class A operator."

Wow. So, for the price of a laptop I could influence NYC politics and have a councilman of my very own ?

I don't even live in New York and it's still tempting, if only for the lulz.

Do you think Mr. Kallos would pull me in a rickshaw when I visit ? Or would I need an extra fifty bucks ?

> Neither of your strawmen. I am not making my own assertion at all. I am challenging your assertion that maintaining a high standard of living requires moving to the Center Of The Universe for all or nearly all developers.

You seem to be challenging your own straw man.

> You seem to base this assertion on a premise that the difference in salaries outweighs the difference in cost of living, but have provided no evidence to support that.

The evidence is all of the developers who choose to live and work in SV despite the high cost of living.

> I know it's not true for me, but at least I don't assume that my experience is universal.

That is the straw man -- I never claimed it was universal. It's true of the people who live there, or why do they?

> True. You have to be pretty good at what you do.

That doesn't seem to have much to do with it. Plenty of call center workers are allowed (or required) to work from home, because it saves the company from having to pay for office space for them, but that doesn't make them particularly highly skilled or highly paid.

> Again, it's not my argument. It's yours, and it's ridiculous.

Here's you from before:

> Rich companies can and do pay higher salaries regardless of the worker's location. That creates a feedback loop, distorting both labor and capital markets, turning temporary advantages into permanent ones and stifling competition.

If the higher salaries aren't paying for better work then how do the companies get any advantage out of it?

> Have you heard abou this little thing called network effects? The theory is that, by bringing good developers together, synergy creates value that doesn't exist with them separate.

That isn't what "network effects" means.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect

"Big" isn't an advantage here. It means bureaucracy and politics and Mythical Man Month problems. These companies succeed despite these things, not because of them.

> It can be well worth paying a premium to bring good developers into logical or virtual proximity with one another, and the big rich companies are taking advantage of that.

What do you suppose is stopping the same people from coming together on their own and just keeping the money their work generates?

> It doesn't require a monopoly. All it requires is a significant asymmetry.

Asymmetric capital? How is Apple's billion dollars better than any random capitalist's billion dollars?

> Also, Wall Street very much has been playing this game too, with effects and remedies that would be just as worthy of debate if we could get past the facile attempts to deny the reality of it happening.

What game? "Money makes money" has been the basis of Wall St since day zero. The method by which this doesn't lead to permanent massive consolidation of power is that new entities come into existence and displace old ones, but are owned by new people. The problem is the thwarting of that process by requiring the permission of incumbents to make new things.

Hi! What makes Go Remote Jobs better than the other remote job websites, is that the focus is on making it easy on the user. We've put a lot of extra work into ensuring there are no fees to search for jobs, the searching is as easy as possible, and that we have an expressive site search with more to come! Some future updates (because Go Remote Jobs is only about a month old) that are going to be coming, are going to include an email "matchmaker" to pair you with the best jobs and advanced search filtering to do things such as narrowing the listings you see to only jobs with 6 digits. I hope you enjoy!

This is why when I play I ignore that rule and allow unlimited houses and hotels. In fact the very first time I played a game with limited houses was also the last time I ever played that way, since it seemed so unfair I decided the rules were flawed.

Per wikipedia:

TempleOS (formerly J Operating System,[1] SparrowOS and LoseThos)[2] is a biblical themed lightweight operating system created over the span of a decade by the American programmer Terry A. Davis. The software is a x86-64 bit, multi-tasking, multi-cored, public domain, open source, ring-0-only, single address space, non-networked, PC operating system for recreational programming.[3] The operating system was designed to be the Third Temple according to Davis and uses an interface similar to a mixture of DOS and Turbo C. Davis describes the operating system as a modern x86-64 Commodore 64 with C in place of BASIC.

I've tried that but often the other person also doesn't say much. For instance, I distinctly remember a conversation I had with a woman at an alumni gathering where any question I asked about her work was met with monosyllabic responses. She didn't seem to want disengage from the conversation (body language wasn't "I want to walk away") but wasn't interested in carrying her end of it either. In the end I had to make my excuses and walk away because of how uncomfortable the conversation was.
> Database contains photos of half of US adults without consent, and algorithm is wrong nearly 15% of time and is more likely to misidentify black people

I think technology is often a very effective way to describe what "systemic racism" is.

Racism propagates easily, and race-blind / race-agnostic / race-indifferent behavior does not combat it or counteract it.

Imagine a majority-white tech team, largely color-blind, yet still (by virtue of economic and geographic segregation) in a mostly white-centric bubble. The training set might be largely white. If some preprocessing or feature-detection is taking place on the raw images, it might be tracking features that could have higher variability among white people while overlooking other features.

If you don't know to go out of your way to check for, include tests, and give thought to mitigating imbalances caused by race (because you "see no race") then you allow this problem to propagate. In the case of computer vision, you will inherit the "racism" of every library you import from.

This reminds me of gender biased found in Word2vec[1]. It is hard to accuse the dataset of being sexist, especially when viewing it as a reflection of language in news article. Yet, people using Word2vec use it as a representative of language, not a representative of language in news, with all the baggage in today's (and past) culture. As a result, sexism can propagate, autocomplete and query suggestions might be biased. Then spending habits might be biased, etc.

Google’s ‘Noto’ Is a Free Typeface That’s Readable in Over 800 Languages
I just recently completed my journey to "tick all the yellow boxes", i.e. to have sufficient competence in every required technology to be able to build my own full stack applications from end to end.

For all three of the roadmaps on the diagram, it took me five years, part time weekends and nights.

What this means in practical terms is that most of the things that I need to build an application are familiar to me and I have worked with them and programmed them at some point, and I feel like I know where to start when resolving issues with those technologies.

And that was starting from the point of being extremely technical, and having previously owned software companies and already having architected and designed more applications than I can even remember, and having done a little programming here and there over the years.

Edit: the union mentioned in the article. (I hadn't read it).

It appears you're generalizing this union to represent other unions. It's possible for one union to be exploitative while other ones to have merit. Just as some corporations behave responsibly while a few others blatantly disregard consumers and workers.

Sadly it's a quirk of human nature that we get more defensive over our things when work gets tough. It tends to push us to more neoliberal policies. If work gets hard to find; Gen Z and the baby boomer generation would rather keep millennials renting, as opposed to massive social spending. Unless there's a massive shift towards the left we'll only see widening inequality due to the insurgence of AI on the job market. This is more of a cynical outlook, but in the last three decades in politics across the globe there's been no progressive popular movements.
I wrote a class paper about the threat to privacy/freedom from data mining and advanced algorithms in 2003.

Unfortunately the risks they highlight exist without facial recognition. It's interesting to see facial recognition as a point of debate because the battle has been largely lost.

The quantity and intimacy of personal data already captured is much more damaging. Amazon figured out a teen girl was pregnant in 2012 [0]. IMO face recognition isn't even the most invasive modern technology. Sure it helps close the loop on a few Luddites but most of us willingly handed over the keys to our lives long ago.

Pretty much. There are things you can do, but the majority of people won't do them. Our political system is showing its age, being completely gerrymandered, bought by major corporations, and is incapable of changing unless it benefits the rich in some way.

They've definitely evolved from their original charter as a "social network", where I'd interact with friends over content we ourselves put on the site. Now I feel like my feed is (was) 95% ads plus linked and shared news articles and then maybe 5% posts from friends. People still interacted with each other, but it was definitely less organic like you said and more banter about things external to your personal relationships. I don't like Facebook, I probably never did, and I finally got my Spotify login linked to my email instead of my Facebook account so I'm done with the site. Over the last year and a half I realized it's evolved into a giant surveillance vector and just got too creepy.

All that said, no I don't think it's dying for two reasons: 1) young people today (whatever we're calling the generation that comes after millennials) seem to be unconcerned with "oversharing" and appear to derive some kind of dopamine hit from it. So the things that come across as creepy to me probably don't affect that generation in the same way. 2) I could be wrong, but Facebook does also appear to be attempting to diversify their business. They've done this in the past, and I don't see too much reason to panic right now (if I were an investor that is).

Honestly, I would indeed prefer that it died. I think it makes people unhappy, harms relationships, and ends up being a replacement for reality for a lot of people - and I was only a once-every-few-days kind of guy. Some of my friends compulsively use that thing, even if they're actually out with real people not the manufactured online personae on display in your "profile."
1. Organisation is created with good ideas. 2. Politically motivated or terrible at management and long term view people get to the top of organisation. 3. That organisation now protects the status quo, even though it's in everybody's interest to move on.

Tell me you've never seen this story... I've worked with managers who would absolutely go for hiring more people to continuously do the same stupid task rather than improving the process. If they were protected, it would be a very sad place to work.

Sounds like you have more education in a specific field (image processing). You know the industry you want to be in and the kind of companies that have those positions. Similarly, those companies have strong ideas on the kind of people they want and you're a good match.

FWIW, 2/3 jobs I've found on job hunt boards have been pretty good. I'm much more interested in what the team are like and the environment than I am the specific problem domain.

You are probably right that networking is better though. I read somewhere that the time to start networking is not when you want a job - that comes across as being needy. I'm trying to do it more now, at a time where I'm comfortable in my role. I'm hoping it works both ways - I'll also find talented people I'll be able to recommend to employers or work with.
Hammer1 is a log-structured snapshottable data filesystem with near-live master:slave replication, similar to e.g. zfs/btrfs, with very low memory requirements.

Hammer2 will, last I checked, enable multi-master clustered volumes plus replicated fanout mirrors and caching clients at the base system level (e.g. not an overlay application like other systems)

While there is a focus on keeping releases as stable as possible and the tip of the source tree stable, it is heavily under development so some amount of low-level expertise is probably a good idea.. which isn't to say you can't use it for day-to-day use.

Systems are used for different things - one being heavily under development doesn't necessarily mean it isn't suitable for some use cases

And when Uber is clearly going down the drain, more competitors will pop up in anticipation of taking advantage of the situation.
Unit testing a compiler for a language like Swift is hard because there are so many features that interact in complex ways. There are unit tests but it's easy to miss things that look "obvious" in hindsight.

Until recently the focus was on finishing the design of the language itself and not fixing bugs or improving compile time. Now that the language is source stable the focus is shifting to the latter two tasks.

Also source stability means we can build up a larger body of code for testing (imagine having to constantly migrate unit tests that exercise corner cases and quirks... not fun).
It's not. It's impressive Terry's platform has attained a following.
