Like GP, the trend over the last decade or so to use meaningless names for tech products is one of my biggest annoyances. Occasionally something gains such enough popularity that it doesn't matter ("Google") but in most cases these names are only meaningful to the people who work with these products every day and for everone else it's alphabet soup.

[EDIT] - I missed a key point, the author does say in the article that they deleted their account long ago.

While I'm all for bashing Facebook when they do something nefarious, this seems more to do with someone else having the author's password and using their account at an inopportune time (during the FB account deletion process).

As a refresher for all:

- FB delete != FB deactivate

- You can't log in (or let anyone else log in) for 2 weeks post FB delete through https://m.facebook.com/help/delete_account

- The only way you can be sure they delete your info is if you're in the EU, where the government has stepped in appropriately.

Facebook will very likely still know who you are, and have tons of information/"shadow profile" on you, because your friends will still post stuff there.
I love you man.
Actually I think that an extra step is required to fully "delete" while the standard procedure only "deactivate" accounts.

I've permanently delete back in 2014 but actually needed a "ghost account" in 2016 to access some FB walled garden content.

I used the same email as my former one and data was gone, no restauration was proposed. (However friend suggestion based on email showed up due to some probable shadow account).

As a fellow gun enthusiast, I agree. I have shot real NFA select fire weapons (full/burst) and while they are a fun day at the range, there is little legitimate purpose for them outside of laying down cover fire.

These modifications that make something "almost NFA" have always rubbed me the wrong way. I wouldn't be surprised if the ATF issues a new opinion letter regulating their manufacture / sale.
He explicitly says that he deleted his FB account "long ago". So this isn't about somebody interrupting the deletion process, it's about FB keeping the account around, ready to be "reactivated", even after the 2 weeks.
Neat. It's still fairly new. It doesn't appear to prohibit collaborations, though it doesn't seem to emphasize them. I only skimmed their site and Wikipedia. There's probably room for lots of prizes, without diluting the importance of the Nobel.
It's a Utah company called DirectScale. The company is really great, but some circumstances surrounding the product and work environment were making me feel really unproductive. Which might not be a big deal for everyone, but it was for me. I rode it out for a few months, lobbied for some changes, and eventually decided it was time to move on.

I disagree, I think "waterfall" (at least in stereotype) would be more like coming up with the specifications in advance and then _sticking to them_ regardless of new information from the world or from the experience of developing the software. That's not the story the OP told.

I also agree with the person who responded that there is a difference between building products, and building tools for building products -- building shared libraries/code/tools may require different approaches. One of the things I've noticed about shared code, is it's _much harder_ to fix rethought decisions or change paths. "Backwards incompatibility" doesn't even exist as a thing in your local app really, at least you can always at least theoretically global search and replace when you change APIs.

I don't think we've figured out any magic bullet process for developing software. It's definitely not the stereotype of "waterfall", but I don't think the stereotype of "agile" is it either -- at _least_ when it comes to shared library/tools. And I'm absolutely convinced that those shared tools which do well were almost always designed carefully and intentionally with understanding of the domain, not just slapped together with stimulus-response.
Fuzz testing is far, far easier and more complete if you have the source code. It is not required to have the source to fuzz, but white-box fuzzing can be combined with code coverage analysis to make sure you hit all code paths, including ones that would rely upon a more structured sequencing of the inputs. Black-box fuzzing could eventually reach the same end result, but it would take far longer or far more resources.
I think there's something of a human selection effect with the more impressive outputs they've opted to show; much as you can throw a far dumber algorithm at far less selective samples of Shakespeare and end up with the non-incoherent examples seeming wonderfully poetic

Take the example of the woman's face and Munch's The Scream. Ask an art student to pain a woman in the style of The Scream and you'll probably get her with a simplified, harrowed expression, surrounded by swirly waves and skies. Run this through the algorithm and you'll get a photograph of a woman's face with brushwork superimposed over it including a choppy, vibrant orange forehead instead of a choppy, vibrant orange sky. It's not particularly visually interesting and is obviously the work of a dumb algorithm[1]

On the other hand, I combined the woman's face with Picabia's Udnie and the results were very pleasing, especially the way the contrast of black and white and sharpened edges happened to emphasise the model's cheekbone structure and eyes, and it looks like something a human might draw and sell as an original semi-abstracted portrait (albeit something an art teacher setting the "draw her in the style of Picabia" assignment would probably still frown at and say they'd missed the point of the exercise in producing representative art and not really grasped Picabia's massing or shading either)

[1]And I'm sure it's not the first time I've critiqued computer generated art based on combining Munch's the Scream because it treats the top of the image as vivid orange sky regardless of what it actually is...

That language will be sure to link against some C libraries, at least, libc. That might be enough to crack deeper into the system.

The problem with C is that it's widely used for critical system-level software, and practically all other tools were (and are) inadequate for the task.

How Code Becomes Legacy
what happened was, apple went to a furnace company and said we want a lot of furnaces. then later they said we also want you to run the furnaces and make glass. the company couldnt deliver because that wasnt what they did and it was outside the scale of anything they did before.

the company declared bankruptcy because of the apple investment. apple basically created a glass factory out of thin air in somebody elses name, and it failed to produce.

Sociologist and poet Eve Ewing on how creativity helps tackle social problems
> The content producers who care about performance usually buy the best CPU and GPU. HSA isn't available on AMD's Ryzen or Threadripper processors.

Raven Ridge will be based on Zen CPU cores and Vega GPU cores. But naturally, Raven Ridge will be slower than Threadripper because the GPU will take up some space (that otherwise would have been additional CPU cores).

Rumored specs of Raven Ridge APU is 4 CPU cores and 11 GPU Compute Units. In contrast, Threadripper is around 16 CPU Cores and Vega 64 is 64 GPU cores, separated by a PCIe x16.

So basically, its the price you pay for sticking so many things onto a single package. There are thermal limits, as well as manufacturing limits (ie: practical yield sizes) to how large these chips can be.

If you want the best of both worlds, like an EPYC CPU with Vega 64 or a high-end NVidia Pascal / Volta chip, you'll need to buy a dedicated GPU and a dedicated CPU. True, a hybrid chip like Raven Ridge (or any of the AMD HSA stuff) has benefits with regards to communication, but the penalty to CPU speed and/or GPU speed seems to be huge.

-----------

I personally expect that if any "mainstream" FPGA solutions come out, they'll be connected to the PCIe and not merged into the CPU. There seems to be just too many heat and manufacturing issues to make a merged product compared to the standard PCIe x16, which is quite fast.

Alternatively, certain tasks (like Cryptography) can be accelerated using dedicated instructions, like the Intel AES-NI instruction set. Or Intel's Quicksync H.264 encoding solution. Fully Dedicated chipspace (like AES-NI) is way faster and more power efficient than FPGAs after all.

Anyone else have similar results?
That seems to indicate “we” as a profession don’t actually know. Because the developer is always part of writing the code and thus, any process that results in C-Code has at least one insecure element.

When it comes to sourcing information from discussion boards, each top thread is effectively the one and only time the algorithm will interact with that thread for that topic.

Unless each thread is monitored and updated by a small subset of power users when weighting for reputation matters, it is likely that the persons managing a thread are volunteers at the scene of breaking news or have been (self-)coopted into that role by circumstances. Such self selected thread managers can safely be treated as a one-time participant in the prisoner's dilemma game.

If this is true, the algorithm can safely assume that the other prisoner (the "thread") is going to betray them and so, betray them first by low-weighting them.

Of course, you use some sort of reputation for the source of the threads - for breaking tech news, a GitHub issue tracker is probably going to be a better tracker than an HN thread than a general purpose Reddit thread than a 4chan thread.
Even if you manage to put the control of filtering in people's hands, it doesn't solve the problem. Social science convincingly shows people don't want to be told the truth if it runs counter to prior beliefs, and will use all the tools at their disposal to avoid or discredit it. In fact, forcing the truth on them will convince them even more of their false beliefs (see: the backfire effect). Give people more control over their filters, and they will create even tighter filter bubbles.

Maybe the solution to what news to let through the filter bubble is to apply a very simple answer: none at all. Google shouldn't show anything that's more recent than a few weeks.
People are becoming less detail oriented. They are willing to close their eyes and fall backwards and trust that engineered goodness will catch them.

It's too high-level for a lot of low-level work, and too low-level for a lot of high-level work.

This is true in the very specific cases that you gave, but I believe that is the minority of use cases, not the majority.

Even the example of writing a GC that requires tons of unsafe code, that is not a good argument for making all the code unsafe. All the unsafe GC code would be abstracted away into a module and would be more obvious to those looking at it that they will need to be watchful for undefined behavior. Now you can proceed writing the rest of the project in safe, simple Rust.

People will also mention "fearless concurrency", but guaranteeing the absence of data races is not hard

Maybe for developers that are very familiar with the race conditions of parallel code, but definitely not for most people. Even seasoned developers will make mistakes with simple multithreaded code.

Also, the reasoning behind "x is easy so why do I need my language to check it for me" is questionable. The whole point is that you have a guarantee. Have you never had a compiler catch a stupid mistake before it happened and felt relieved? I doubt it. Now imagine if instead of debugging stupid data races in your parallel code you can spend that time optimizing and improving it. I fail to see how this can be viewed as negative.

Sure Rust doesn't cover 100% of use cases, but it definitely covers more than you're implying. It's low-level enough that Redox OS can be written in Rust, but high-level enough that Firefox is now outpacing other browsers and parallelizing everything with Rust.

I'd worked in OpenStack for 4 years and with Python in general for about 10 years.

I can say from my experience it is definitely possible to maintain large codebases in Python. The type errors of the superficial variety that the OP refers to were usually caught before they made it to production (and were rare besides if you were experienced enough to avoid them). It requires discipline to maintain tests and write code in a way that avoids errors.

I've been learning OCaml and Haskell for a couple of years along with formal methods using TLA+ and Lean. I used to think type theory was the accounting of maths. I still think that's at least partly true but the power it brings you as a programmer is quite powerful.

I find working with Haskell or OCaml to be much more productive. Instead of stepping through a debugger or following tracebacks (a descriptive error) I get prescriptive errors as I make changes to a Haskell codebase. The propositions in the type system form a much better specification than unit tests alone.

I still like Python and C for many reasons and will continue using them where appropriate. However I think Haskell/OCaml offer quite enough power that everyone should at least consider what they bring to the table.
That's already reality with IPv6 and the sky is not falling because instead of NAT the router boxes provide (simple) firewalls.
