I think the so-called effect of the digital age is totally overblown. It's easy to write headlines about it and make everybody panic, but I don't think people in ancient times were that much of avid readers either. In fact the general literacy and the average time spent on reading by the population definitely increased massively, if anything. The ancient populace didn't have computers or TV to occupy themselves with, but they had plenty of other games and entertainment activities all the same. Bear in mind that reading and writing was never natural to human beings until very, very recently.

Also, it's true that reading whole books is one way to get information. But plenty of great writers/readers have used reading methods where they distill the essence of the work or actively search out portions to put their emphasis on, and it worked out great for them. I was guilty of reading plenty of newsletters too seriously or reading through whole articles from the beginning to the end, even though reading on might produce very little additional information whatsoever. Now I have learned to better focus my energy: sometimes I skim the headlines, sometimes I skim the first and last paragraphs of an article, and I've already got 70% of what they have to say. Of course one might say that reading books can be something different to reading lower-quality news articles, but in the end time is really limited and "actual work" is something that gets done with your own hands, your own exploration and experience, not by reading and talking. This holds especially true for engineering work. One can't conceivably read whole reference manuals end to end without having actually built something serious with the tools being discussed. That's just pure procrastination, not real learning. Of course there are really well written or foundational books that deserve to be read cover to cover, accompanied with practices, and if one is reading for leisure on their spare time it's also totally fine to enjoy every line of a fiction. But I guess in terms of "getting things done", emphasizing "complete reading" instead of "getting the essence and doing" can be a bit misleading.

tl;dr: I think if there's anything worth emphasizing in this age of information explosion, that is "just get real shit done already" instead of "just read the book and lose yourself/procrastinate potentially endlessly". This is something that has cost me very dearly and I'll ensure in the future to avoid this trap as best as I can.
PHP has this problem too - never use PHP unserialize() to unserialize hostile (i.e. user-accessible) data. It won't end well for you. I think it's true for any sufficiently powerful serialization format...
It depends on your worldview.

If you value community, society and loyalty, then what they did is bad.

If you value profits?/money?/greed?, then perhaps you are right.

Many would feel that reducing the world to no more than the efficacy of fiscal transactions and it all becomes worth pretty much nothing. There is so much more to life.

It's only a problem because budget constrained means they don't have very much money, so in addition to wanting to pay for fewer hours they probably want to pay for less per hour.

There probably aren't a lot of shops that can't afford a full time dev, but can afford a nice rate of 60-90/hr.
I'm confused by this - if she refused to unlock her phone, how would they have obtained a copy of the data?
Hey, they can search my phone for a dumptruck full of money any day. While not as ideal as burning in court, that wouldn't be a bad precedent to set either.
This is a really nice write up/story of an approach to solve the top much data on Postgres problem.

I just came across an architect in a very similar space and workload as instacart busy spending countless hours trying to move off Postgres because they’re at 700GB and it’s not “scaling”.

The first question they will probably ask is "why?", so be prepared to have a compelling answer besides just "for my own benefit". Even if you sign an NDA, the new company might still be wary of you seeing the code prior to accepting an offer if you are coming from a competitor. It's a lot of potential risk for less return unless you are the perfect candidate or have some special skill they desperately need.

Not as easy but do an encrypted backup on to a laptop. I know it's not the point you're trying to make but just thinking out loud how someone could do this. Do a backup, wipe phone, minimal setup so it has nothing on it but is functioning, pass border then restore.
"strip everything down" consists in removing packages, especially daemons, you don't need.

You don't (want to) make huge changes to the kernel and libraries codebase tho, even if the changes are meant to remove code you don't need, because testing a heavily modified OS gets prohibitively expensive.

Especially on "modern" embedded from the last 10 years were RAM and storage are not that limited.

There are solutions to priority inversion.
This is an old limitation that is now days even taught in school.

Any decent RTOS should have Priority inheritance that should avoid this.

Pointing to this one things as RTOS issue isn't really an accurate portrayal of current RTOS capabilities.

About 150 per 100k people are the victim of a violent crime every year in my hometown. And the rates are much higher than that in some neighborhoods.

You mentioned London. St. Louis has about twice as many homicides per year as London. There are 300 thousand people in St. Louis. London has, what, 8 million? And half as many murders.

I’m sure you do feel safe there. I’m less confident when I’m back home.

Market cap isn't a measure of the resources a company has at its disposal.
Sorry, didn't mean to say that. I meant to say A birth rate of 1 is a Ponzi scheme. But really it is a game of chicken to force our society to act.

I don't think you're considering how flexible my policy is... As we have more will, we can increase the one child policy to two or even three. All it takes is increased funding.

What do you think Amazon's requirements are for this paid position, and do you think they would be sloppy and tolerant of bad performance here and nowhere else?

Anybody doing this is already a good speaker and writer, and understands what's expected of them. Otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to do it. Again, I know large numbers of poor people who are perfectly capable of this erudition.

RT Preempt / Preempt-RT patch still exists.
It slowly is being integrated into mainline as per everyone's wishes but it is still a thing.
somehow this reminded me my father, we were pretty poor until my parents got divorced and necessity forced my father to be successful in his field, so nowadays he is living in opposite extreme despising cheap things even when it's not rational and difference between top notch product and cheap/budget it's negligible

he had new door installed including electronic peephole and I fail to understand single benefit of having camera instead of peephole -viewing angle it's worse, visibility in darkness it's worse, frame rate it's inferior and you have to occasionally charge the battery (it's really just cheap phone in different package with external camera), so he paid 5-10 times more for inferior but modern looking product. same could be said about his smart watch which cost like 4-5 times of my watch, but functionality it's pretty same, some even worse, especially battery life, he need to charge his watch every other day if he dare to use them, half of the time it's just more convenient to wear his old analog watch, while i wear mine 24/7 and charge battery once in 3-6 weeks and don't use my watch as some thing to show off
When was there ever such a requirement? I must have missed it. I never finished a degree, nor even took any CS courses, and this was common among devs of my acquaintance in the '90s and early aughts.
The solution needs to be long term viable, which means that voting tax payers have to find the people who receive help sympathetic enough they don't vote to change the system. It's a hard balance to strike.
Ideological indoctrination aside, it may suprise some people here that the german GDR had 92% working women, many of them in technical and scientific fields and many having three children. One of the things they did right here is offering proper childcare widely around typical work time windows. The society and often husbands too felt responsible for children, it was not seen as "a mother's thing" like many in this thread seem to do. This has implications up until today, with several prominent and well-educated female politicians and public figures being GDR-born. It was not all perfect (housework and childcare was implicitly still seen as a mother's thing, mothers could request special housework days, sometimes questionable things like full-week kindergardens and so on), but much better than what young people face today when moving to west-german states (where the jobs for educated people can be found) where old-fashioned mindsets and kindergardens closing at 4pm and at random full days throughout the month persist. A single generation of children born among both men and women working in decent jobs did this.

Angela Merkel is one of these GDR children, she studied physics and has a PhD in quantum chemistry. She is childless, but her mother - despite being very old now - is still teaching English because she has never stopped being passionate about her chosen profession (I know an interview where Merkel says that her mothers work attitude always inspired her). Well, she never had to throw her education away because society or her husband expected it either. Another well-known politician I can think of here is Sarah Wagenknecht. Peter Scholze who just won the Fields medal was born in Dresden (growing up in Berlin) - his father is a physicist and his mother is a computer scientist working as network technician.

Did you use js typed arrays (e.g. Uint32Array) to benchmark large array operations or just Array?
The linked trial testimony says otherwise. The engineer states he found bugs, and theoretically it might be possible he was unable to reproduce. Further, he evaluated the software against his own coding standard which was a variant of another.

The engineer was questioned:

" Q. Now, you have not reproduced in vehicle testing your
25 theory that there's a software bug that opens the

30
1 throttle and then the task dies, have you?
2 A. No."

From page 245. Further reproduction questions were all answered with a no further.

To get a successfully task death failure (what the engineer wanted to happen) the engineer had to modify the source code.

Further in the limited testing even with modifications, the failsafe triggered 100% of the time.

Your statement is incorrect.
Using keywords isn’t accurate enough; you’d use a classifier for this.
Welcome to software development? Doesn't matter where I've worked. The software is always terrible.
None of these problems are GraphQL-specific though. Say someone wants to build a feature that requires some attribute or joined model we weren't exposing before. Maybe someone else tells them no for all the caching/performance/complexity reasons mentioned above. That's a slippery slope leading towards a culture where nothing ever gets done because all the senior engineers default to saying "no" to everything, which isn't a place people want to work and probably isn't great for the longterm outlook of the company.

So assuming the feature is going to get built, the implementation might involve sticking the extra attributes in an existing route, or might involve creating a new custom route just for this use. Both of these options have pro's and cons that need to be weighed in the given situation based on usage patterns. And both are possible with or without GraphQL. But they should require just a few lines of configuration in GraphQL vs more lines custom boilerplate code in your controller in a traditional MVC framework, which is a nice win for GraphQL.

The problems can arise whenever people start thinking some tool is basically magic where there's no wrong way to use it and it'll solve all your problems, instead of thinking criticially about how to use the tool and what tradeoffs involved. And this tends to happen much more easily with a hot, new tool like GraphQL than a more established one where people have more experience with the downsides.
> Why Linux instead of an RTOS?

Same reason SpaceX eschews radiation-hardened processors for redundant off-the-shelf cores: supplier competition. There aren't many RTOS engineers on the market; there are many Linux engineers. Once they got over the cost of hardening the kernel, SpaceX found itself at a scaling advantage versus RTOS-based competitors.

My career was mostly a 4 day 32 hour a week job with the US government. For them it was a way to spread limited resources across many different efforts. You might look for a 32 hour apportionment with the feds. Perhaps there is some way to take advantage of limited resources in a private enterprise. I don't know how you'd go about it though.
Xilinx Leads a Tour of Everest – EE Times
I had an "oh f_ck" moment around docs in my OSS project: I made a small mistake. I wrote "@include" instead of "@import" in the homepage of a fairly well-polished project, https://picnicss.com/. Now, I don't want to imagine how many developers copy/pasted that snippet into their code, saw that it didn't work and blamed their code a hundred times until they ultimately gave up and left the library or SCSS altogether.

But it wasn't until a poor soul opened an issue in Github (which made me feel horrible) that I realized how much responsibility people writing the docs have. So I decided I had a to do something for my next project, and I did. Every snippet of code should be tested, see this as an example: https://serverjs.io/documentation/context/#-options

const mid = ctx => {
expect(ctx.options.port).toBe(3012);
};

/* test */
const res = await run({ port: 3012 }, mid, () => 200).get('/');
expect(res.status).toBe(200);

In the build process, that snippet will be captured, the test extracted and run. That way, as a one-man dev, I can make sure that my snippets are tested and working automatically. I've gotten busy since then and haven't had the chance to refactor the code or test all the examples as I'd love, but many of those tests are still there, making sure the code examples are working.

Colin Woodard calls it the "Greater Appalachia nation-state". David Hackett Fischer calls it the "Borderlands folkway". I think I prefer Fischer's book, possibly because my father devoured that particular section and is still quite enthusiastic about it.
I used a title that better reflects the story than the original one.

One bit of transparency sorely missing is that these people are employed full time by Amazon's marketing division - they are not current FC employees. They are only expected to have some FC experience in their background.

A lot of folks who have worked for Amazon have FC background; even I could qualify since I helped with some Christmas rush packing back in the mid 00's (I worked at an attached call center).
FreePBX (built on Asterisk, which is the basis for another dozen PBX platforms) is still far-and-away the most popular PBX platform for small businesses and most VARs. FreeSWITCH does exist and it is fantastic, but the two are quite similar in terms of what they can accomplish.

There is really no other option in the FOSS community for small-to-medium phone systems, as Asterisk-based systems are rivaled mainly by 3CX (proprietary) in the industry which is somewhat expensive and significantly less-configurable than the open source options.
They broke down in predictable way because they did so little. If the Soviets had made really complex cars they would have failed in very unpredictable ways as well.
Right, so given that this doesn't meet the definition of false advertising, would you mind responding to the questions I posed?
The Democrats were still on "don't ask don't tell" in the Clinton era and that policy continued to 2011 so it just seems to me that the rise of this divisiveness came as a natural reaction to Progressives views on race and gender gaining mainstream traction. If you look at how overall society has changed on those issues in the last 20 years the change seems pretty big.
This post really exposes how many people comment without reading the article. This is a non-story and the vast majority of comments here are a waste of bytes and time.

Those systems still save businesses tons of money and make a lot of money for the companies integrating them.
It's for sure partialy due to outsourcing, but I wouldn't neccessarily call it cheap. An experienced developer in Poland costs around 50k euros per year, which I guess is a bit less than in France, but not that much. However, if moving work to Eastern Europe were not an option, the companies would have no choice but to pay more in Western Europe (or try outsourcing software engineering to India, but that seldomly works).

My wife and I waited until our 30s to have kids, for both medical and financial reasons. We lucked out that my job at the time of our first child provided 3 months of paternity leave, and my job when we had our second child provided 4 months.

Even though we're well off, it's very expensive living in the US as a family of four on one income, and you're one job termination or healthcare emergency away from poverty. Due to very helpful HN posters, we're looking at me getting a Blue Card [1] so we can move to Germany or Belgium; I'll take a substantial pay cut, but the work culture, employment regulations, and family support services will more than make up for it. I recognize that I'm not a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. [2]

I think you're presuming the loophole here a bit too quickly. It shouldnt be difficult to determine when it is that a wealthy person hired a less wealthy person to do the unsavory thing in order to exploit the lower fine.

More to the point brought up about Finland's lower wealth inequality: yeah, that should be what we're shooting for. Say we return to a robust progressive income tax system where if you make over say, 10 million dollars a year, you get taxed 90%. The arbitrage loophole doesnt work because, what, are you going to split up your 10M/Year income between 20 different less wealthy people and have them spend your money for you in order to avoid the tax?

What am I saying, of course the rich would find a way to skirt taxes. It's like, their whole shtick. I loathe the whole "Of course I'll do every shady, up to and including illegal things, to pay less taxes because if theres a loophole I want to exploit it". No, in fact you are acting being an anti-social cretin who neglects to give back to the society that produced the material conditions that allows for your wealth.
