It’s less that any one particular thing breaks instantly, and more that it destabilizes the system in general. Mac installers often contain shell scripts, for example, and those scripts are going to assume that the core OS tools being invoked by those scripts are the ones that shipped with the OS. Software updates and all sorts of other under-the-hood things contain shell scripts or make assumptions about those tools, their behaviors, and how to invoke them.

Imagine taking an Ubuntu box and overwriting every single core utility with a recompiled version of the utility of the same name from OpenBSD. You might think that’s a bad idea- same reasons, same risks. Sure, everything might work (and probably will), but it’s fundamentally destabilizing a working system.

And for what benefit? Just so some developer doesn’t have to be bothered with learning the differences between GNU and BSD runtimes? That just seems like a terrible tradeoff, and I wouldn’t want to work with someone who both didn’t know the difference and couldn’t be bothered to learn.

Like, if someone can’t be bothered to learn the OS that they’re working on, then there’s a simple solution: don’t use that OS. But if getting something done on that platform is a requirement, then they should take the time to do it properly, and beyond entry-level people I would simply expect any developer worth their salt to get their job done on the platform they’re developing for or deploying to. It’s not a lot to ask, it’s not a high bar, it’s a pretty reasonable expectation for a professional. People shouldn’t half-ass something like that just because they think they are too special or precious to spend time learning how to do their job.

EDIT: if it’s not obvious, I’m specifically talking about developing for a given platform in a professional capacity. I don’t care what people do for fun or education or hacking around- not unlike using a Hackintosh or jailbreaking a device. I don’t mean to sound judgy or anything (outside of a > entry level professional context).
Once interviewed for a Trend Micro position and had the feeling that they were a well-reputed transnational company, didn't know that this kind of thing could have happened. I expect them to code review so this is something that must have been accepted?
A good recent podcast about the decentralized web, with a technical focus, is JS Party #42, https://changelog.com/jsparty/42.

> "Users do not expect sandboxed apps to get this level of access to their systems, but it is important to note that when an open file dialog is opened by a sandboxed app, if you use it to open your home directory, the app can potentially get access to lots of private information including browsing history, iMessage conversations, e-mail messages and more."

This access is going away in macOS Mojave, at least for the built-in system apps, for precisely this reason.

> The macOS sandbox isn't like other sandboxes I've used (JVM, ECMAscript, Tcl, etc). Even if the user hasn't extended it by explicitly selecting a file, and even if the app has no entitlements, there seem to be a lot of holes in it -- and they seem to be intentional.

> Of course, if you choose your home directory in a file picker, all bets are off.

What holes are you talking about? Keep in mind that the examples you mention and the macOS sandbox solve different problems and have different constraints. The ones you've mentioned are meant to execute untrusted code and keep it (almost) completely isolated from the rest of your system. But macOS apps must have much more access by definition.

> The matter of user expectations is the main reason I wish Apple would revert the sandbox requirement for the Mac App Store. As a user, it really does seem like the sandbox should protect me from malicious code, just like Safari protects me from malicious JS, but it really doesn't.

Just curious: how do you feel about the iOS sandbox situation?
I don't know about your question, but Cython recently added [1] the option to use native Python type annotations (Python 3.6, PEP 484) instead of its previous C-like dialect. That could lead to a situation where a sensibly type-annotated Cython file can still be a valid Python file – that would help with portability.

This describes, likely, a large portion of the workforce in general and isn't specific to streamers.

The answer, of course, is that it pays the bills and it's really hard to:

1) Figure out what it is that you'd actually enjoy

2) Figure out how to make money doing that

Hmmm...I remember receiving daily E-mail spam from “Trend Micro”, it was absurd and I had to block it all. I used to think it might be faked but after seeing this I’m sure the original company was responsible for all the spam trash as well.

What I don’t understand about review processes is that scummy apps and companies are really not that hard to spot. Maybe the really crafty ones are hard to see but I have to wonder how much time Apple really has to spend (sometimes just from descriptions alone) to question what an app is doing.

Meanwhile, I once got rejected because I didn’t have a damned minimize button or something.
> I think there is a natural system of balance found in a true free market. When thinking about longer term ideas such as climate change it is ultimately up to the average desire of the population of comsumers as a whole. Even though this has shortcomings I think it is a more "fair" system because it is just a reflection of the psyche and desire of the people and not a controlling party or politburo.

Not when capital is not spread out evenly enough. And even then, larger capital will eventually eat smaller ones and then influence gov't and risk invoking a demagog like Trump (oh we already did huh). These mega corp that are controlled by groups of people called executives will do everything to influence the opinion and desire of the people into their favor. The people barely able to feed themselves will have no time to think about climate change. This is _practically_ the same as a controlling party.

The idea of owning a piece of the earth to yourself (and inherited by your descendant) is ridiculous anyway. Resources of our planet is limited. Usable land is limited. Our population grow by the day exponentially. What happens to those who don't have access to these resources and barely have a livable life? Do you expect them to care about climate change? Now you might call me some labels since this idea is not compatible with capitalism and free market, but I would appreciate a thoughtful reply to my questions in this paragraph.
I have never heard that. Link?
I didn't say choline cannot be gotten from vegan foods. I'm saying, rather, that I was conservative in my sources for daily recommended micronutrient amounts, and the amount of choline those sources recommended were impossible to obtain from food sources given in the USDA database, which is the international standard for the nutrient composition of foods.

As an example of such a source, see tsmoctl's first link in this same thread to a US Department of Health & Human Services article on choline. Its authorship alone would have justified choline's inclusion in my database, though I acknowledge the National Institutes of Health may not be correct in their assertion.

One can be micronutrient deficient and still be athletic or observably healthy. Nutrient deficiency is not a guarantee of disease; it merely increases the likelihood of disease. Or you may be right about choline, and the NIS may well be wrong.

EDIT: I consider food additives to be supplements, such as vitamin B12 to soy milk. If you don't, then our disagreement on the point of vegans requiring supplements is a semantic one.
Yeah, I have no clue what they were smoking when they said this.

Mitra @ the Internet Archive, when integrating DWeb ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17685682 ) and I talked about this.

The most highlighted quote on his page is this:

That suggests to me a positive angle, not a stereotype. Being 48 myself, and having gone thru a less-intense version of what you’ve done, I think the quote nails it for me and the others that I know.

I actually think Baby Boomer generation deserves a lot of credit for pushing the boundaries, and our generation is following up in our own way. I can’t wait to see what the millennials do with this time in their lives.
Yeah, a lot of software engineering schools of thought are just based on superstition, but they're all somewhere in the neighbourhood of "productive practices" regardless of how different they are from each other.

If you do

* 100% pairing,

* buttloads of unit tests,

* lots of microservices,

* use an autoformatter,

* in a Node codebase,

to order-of-magnitude approximations you're probably going to be about as effective a team as if you

* always code alone,

* mostly write integration tests,

* write a big old monolith,

* mostly ignore code style (except for egregious cases),

* in C.

These variables do make a difference, but those differences are context-dependent and can be swamped by other factors. Use version control. Do at least some testing and some code review. Make sure engineers can actually run their code before submitting it (on their laptops or in special staging environments or whatever, it doesn't matter much.) Help coworkers when they're stuck, and ask for help when you're stuck. And try to hire Harrison Bergeron onto your team :-).

I don't think anybody is saying it will be easy. It's a big crazy idea that we would like to step toward.

What facts to include? Well why have a limit? Record everything anybody is willing to testify to. Include all sources.

Joe testifies that X happened. Jill testifies that y happened. One or the other might be mistaken or have a heavy bias, but if the data was available we make our own judgments.

Also, we could try and stop using heavy loaded terms like terrorist / freedom fighters for example. We could try and develop neutral language.

The problem right now is that the news strives to be entertaining. Just facts without colour is very boring.
I'd watched a few videos talking about the old-time YouTube content generators in the "Wild West" of the site, compared with the current grind. They tweaked things so it only seems to make sense - monetization-wise - to be a content generator if you're able to keep up with posting high-quality content daily. Myself, I'd want to post great videos that people enjoy, and if the following grows, great! If not, I would just do what I want to do. If something else is more fun, I'll do that. But I'm not sure it's a good idea to try to make YouTube videos a work-from-home paying gig unless you really enjoy whatever content you're generating. And making regular, high-quality videos is a lot of work, not to mention regular, meaningful content that people with engage with. Otherwise, you're just screaming into the void.

Not at all, just offering a professional opinion. If you’re going to develop on or for a different platform, it’s worth it to learn about that platform. Nobody ever fucked anything up by being too knowledgeable or competent. It’s the path of least risk and improves the developer as well.
Something doesn’t add up, the roach eat but they need to shit and roaches don’t grow after reaching certain size. So at the point they’d be just eating and shitting. The shit can’t be used as protein, so there still need to land fill that waste correct? The article isn’t telling the whole story.

The Reddit “Biker Bar” Essay (2015)
They are not linked, the lodsb instruction loads a byte from the address pointed at by esi into ax.

lodsb (b for Byte) loads into al, not ax. It's lodsw (Word) which uses ax, and of course there's lodsd for eax and even lodsq for rax (64-bit only).

This will be the return value of main and the exit code of the program. Since you errored, you want to return a nonzero value.

Actually that's the non-error path; eax is set to 1 and edx to 0 as initial values for computing fib(n) in the fibloop.

That's definitely a minority view. The point is to avoid creating demand for animal products, so most vegans don't worry about cross-contamination as if it were an allergy.

I've gone mostly plant based starting the first of the year. I haven't touched chicken or red meat thus far and don't plan on it. Per your social pressures statement, I found that most don't notice it. The only issue arises when dining with friends or family who serve a planned meal, which usually has some form of chicken or red meat - at least in the US. I do choose to randomly eat select fish or seafood, so that generally helps in those social situations, but my consumption level is once or twice a month at one meal - mainly if it sounds good My experience so far has been overly positive. After about 60 days I stopped considering it. After 90 days red and white meats started to no longer sound appetizing.

Eating at home was a challenge, at first, to switch cooking styles and get used to new ingredients I hadn't cooked with as much. I cook quite a bit and I feel as though this was my highest point of frustration my first few weeks. I bought about a dozen plant focused cook books and cherry picked what looked good right away and have ventured into odd and more complex recipes over the months. It's been far more fun than I would have guessed as there are so many plants I knew nothing about.

Healthwise I feel much better and blood tests have shown improvement over where I was at before (and I was probably above average compared to the average American at start). I'm about 5'11, started in the mid 170s and am now in the low to mid 160s. I noticed a significant improvement in my running. I'm averaging 8 minute miles on a 3-5 mile run a few times a week. I could probably run lower but I enjoy it and don't try to push it beyond that. Last year I was running mid to upper 8s for the same distance. Nothing has really changed outside diet.

TL;DR - Went mostly plant based at the start of the year, enjoying it. Hasn't gotten in the way and have seen improvements making the change.
Oops, you're right. I should have read that more carefully…

> I think the coolest fact that I didn't grok until undergrad is that gravity relates to the stress-energy tensor and is not just due to rest mass alone. Which means that anything that has energy associated with it (i.e., everything we've ever observed) affects the gravitational field.

And not just energy, but tension. And tension is a signed quantity!

Imagine that you go out into deep (flat) space and build a large disk out of unobtanium, an extremely strong and rigid material. The ratio of the circumference to the disk to the radius is exactly pi. Now imagine trying to bring the disk to Earth's surface. Here space is curved by gravity, so the radius of a disk is just a bit longer relative to its circumference. So the disk has to flex! If it is rigid enough, it will want to spring back into flat space to minimize energy. You could imagine adding some gearing that would let you control this (anti-)gravity effect at will.

Calculating the material strength needed to make this effect usefully strong is left as an exercise to the reader.

(Disclaimer: this makes sense to me, but I am not a licensed antigravity engineer)

I've always enjoyed the Apple App Store because they generally do a decent job of code review of the apps, and most folks can feel generally safe when installing applications. But...I've been reading about the apps recently that have been stealing location data and selling it to third parties. Pretty scary.

Hopefully Apple will figure this all out before long-time users who have trusted them completely, start to trust them less.

I'm a fan of the walled-garden, but sometimes the cracks in the facade worry me a little.

> Companies need to do a much better job of not screening out applicants with non traditional resumes though - I had to go through triplebyte to get my foot in the door.

Right. Imagine any other field where employers regularly complain about "severe talent shortage", yet a qualified candidate has to go through a highly specialized 3rd-party recruiter just to get their resume considered rather than tossed out reflexively.

Puts the whole "tech talent shortage" myth in perspective.

There is no "tech talent shortage".

There are a bunch of spoiled employers who are short on "22-26 year old programmers who got the exact education and skillset we are looking for and are willing to work for the wages we offer, which incidentally will never afford them a house anywhere within 50 miles of our offices (but they won't care, because by then they'll be back in their home country)".
