Marie Curie was also fine with working with Radium... until we found out that it wasn't good for you. The thing about stuff like cancers is that it's really difficult to say "this person's cancer was caused by X." The best we can do are wide spectrum studies about cancer rates, and try to use statistics to limit the variables.

You probably use every day at least one of the projects with a badge. That includes the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, Node.js, curl, GitLab, LibreOffice, and many others. See a short list here: https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en

As far as being not practiced, that's absurd. We worked to capture the practices already being used by successful open source software projects. Are you seriously arguing that projects should not use Version Control? Are you arguing that projects should not have automated tests? Are you arguing that projects should not have licenses? In short, have you even looked at the criteria?

Also, snake oil salesmen made all sorts of claims because they were going to earn money by selling you a product. Earning a badge requires $0, so the badging process is not a sham to earn money.

Python has operator overloading, though, so a flat rule that comparisons involving values of different types must always be a type error would actually reduce the power of the language. Granted, there aren't a ton of use cases where it's important to be able to do this, but it is useful on occasion.

Folks reading this: Please tread with caution, don't take stock advice from HN. Especially for OTC stock. While the story may be false, it's very likely they may never recover.

- Their product is fungible, folks on the front line buying motherboards may just chose to avoid SuperMicro to avoid awkward conversations with their boss.

- They were having financial issues before, had some shady accounting and got delisted from Nasdaq. They're now traded over the counter.

- Last quarter their net earnings were $17M; that'll most likely be wiped and they'll go in the red.

- They've got $120M in the bank and $700M in quarterly operating expenses.

- The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay liquid.

Many companies are now likely auditing their systems for mystery chips. Many companies have learned of the hacked firmware distributed to Apple. Many in-progress orders may have been halted.

This may be fatal to them.
To be honest I don't find this completely surprising. PHP is widely used and the code can be just as clean as any other language.
> Information and communications technology supply chain security is core to DHS’s cybersecurity mission

How true is this? I know US-CERT is within DHS, but what else does DHS do in this area?

I did a bit of searching and found https://fcw.com/articles/2018/02/14/dhs-supply-chain-securit..., which seems to imply that until 8 months ago, DHS wasn't doing much (or anything) in this area. If that's the case, I don't see how a statement from them regarding supply chain security can carry any weight. You don't go from nothing to being an expert in 8 months.

Actually they said they have 'no reason to doubt' them, which would imply that if something damning was found they could then just say 'ah well now we have reason to doubt.'

In other words, they said nothing at all.

Law student here. We use the term "ex post facto" for laws that have a retroactive effect.

Civil laws can and have been applied retroactively.

There's an Oscar Wilde quote in there somewhere.
When the edges are numerous and blurry, you have to question the utility of trying to formalize a definition. Obviously, the idea of discrete languages is socially useful in many situations, but there's no point in trying to invent a hard rule to distinguish a dialect from a language. That's why it's better thought of as a continuum, with English vs Arabic being obviously distinct but recently divergent and convergent varieties left forever moot.
At the same time, this result is entirely dependent on the types involved. For example, "1.0 > 0" has a well-defined answer, and Python returns it.

Considering the expression "x > y", the full process is:

1. Call x.__gt__(y).

2. If that returns a bool, that's the result. If it raises an exception, propagate the exception.

3. If it returns the sentinel value NotImplemented, attempt the reflected version of the operation: y.__lt__(x).

4. If that returns a bool, that's the result. If it raises an exception, propagate the exception.

5. If it returns the sentinel value NotImplemented, raise TypeError and inform the programmer this operator is not valid on these types.

The Only Metric That Matters: How many are really using your product? (2017)
Read this as "fabulous" - that they are ....
> Yes, and you should treat them as such.

Of course you should. But the debate here is not about how a programmer should do it. The debate here is that Python3 doesn't do it that way by default and at the very least it takes extra code to do it, and as the article points out in some cases like command line arguments makes it impossible to do it that way.

A well designed computer language encourages good code by making it easy and obvious to write it. By that metric Python3's handling of bytes and strings is not well designed.

By the by I have been bitten by this. As others have mentioned a backup program turns out to be a worst case. I had to redo the string / file name handling twice before I was confident it was correct. I'm an experienced Python programmer both Python2 & 3. The final design wasn't obvious to me, and took substantially more code than I thought it would.
I haven't read this paper yet, but I'm a fan of many things published by NIST. If you're a software engineer I'd suggest browsing their website [0]. They have a lot of great high quality content freely available.

They run the US stations for (almost? not 100% sure) everything related to time-keeping [1] [2].

In particular I've found many of their publications on identity management and authN / authZ very helpful in helping me understand the needs of the enterprise. They have some great primers on role-based access control [3] with examples of some of the different kinds of edge-cases one runs into and how they can be solved. It's far too common to read an explanation that just tells you: you can do whatever you want! When you're getting started in a domain it can be incredibly helpful to know how others solved the same problems.

Here's the publication link [4] on the NIST website. I was going to say that I thought it'd be better to link there so people could read the abstract without having to download the full PDF... But I just checked and the website and all its resources weight in over 1MB while the PDF is around 0.77MB. The state we're in is quite unfortunate; I remember their older website being quite nice and fast.

Abstract:

Blockchains are tamper evident and tamper resistant digital ledgers implemented in a distributed fashion (i.e., without a central repository) and usually without a central authority (i.e., a bank, company, or government). At their basic level, they enable a community of users to record transactions in a shared ledger within that community, such that under normal operation of the blockchain network no transaction can be changed once published. This document provides a high-level technical overview of blockchain technology. It discusses its application to cryptocurrency in depth, but also shows its broader applications. The purpose is to help readers understand how blockchain technology works, so that they can be applied to technology problems.

I'm not parent, but Overwatch runs very well on my computer with Wine + DXVK (Wine plugin(?) which translates DirectX to Vulkan). Performance is not noticeably worse than Windows.

Edit: I realize you may have been talking about HotS, not OW, but according to Google that should also work if you configure esync: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/wiki/How-to:-Esync

If you have a laptop with switchable graphics, you will need to use nvidia-xrun to enable Vulkan passthrough to the dGPU, but aside from that I just followed these instructions: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/wiki/Game:-Overwatch

Note that the Blizzard app will fail to launch with DXVK enabled, so you have to disable DXVK, launch Battle.net, enable DXVK, and then click the 'Play' button to start Overwatch. I made a few scripts for this, so I just do `./disableDxvk ... ./startBlizzard ... ./enableDxvk ... click play` to run the game.

WINEPREFIX=~/.overwatch_wine/ setup_dxvk64 # enable DXVK
WINEPREFIX=~/.overwatch_wine/ winecfg # disable DXVK: delete the overrides from Libraries tab
exo-open Battle.net.desktop # launch the Blizzard app, the .desktop should be generated on install

Your literally arguing that 'Whether you’ve enjoyed working at some place is not relevant' ... and then you provide a bunch of data points to try to prove 'job happiness' one way or the other, as though it's relevant?

You arguing the sky is blue, and then not blue in the next sentence? Which is it?

...

"The summary among all these is that somewhere between 50% and 85% of Americans “hate their jobs” and only around 13% of employees are engaged in their work (not mentally checked out)."

This is absolutely false and there is no reading of those five references (3 of which are irrelevant) which indicates this. The data I provided is more nuanced and reveals that even among the 50% that are 'not satisfied' when given an either or choice, most even those are still at least 'somewhat satisfied'. 'Perfect job satisfaction' was never the objective. Less than 10% 'hate their jobs'.

...

(People happy at work) "This is not compatible with either common sense observation nor other hard data such as"

It is common sense to anyone who's paying attention. Most people are ok with their jobs, and most of the rest are somewhat satisfied - as the data shows.

If you need a house, either you work->get money->pay to have it built - or you build it yourself. Clearly, most of us would prefer to be on the beach than do 'work' ... but if you want a house, you have to do 'work' one way or another, most people understand that reality and are fine with it.

...

"I also strongly dispute the idea that any part of what I wrote is negativity, not at all. It’s not cynical, not hyperbolic, not an over-generalization. It is a perfectly neutral"

Because your position is based on bad facts it is effectively hyperbolic and nihilist.

This story is ridiculous. I believe the arguments made int eh article didn’t happen. Apple, amazon, and SMCI have all rebuffed. The Bloomberg journalist was duped. SMCI did nothing wrong and their business remains strong as we speaker. They will shortly:
1) Issue a detailed rebuttal with QC procedures and 2) become current with their audited financials by the end of October. As a result, the stock will revisit $30 per share within 3-6 months which is a triple from today’s price. Who remembers the Johnson and Johnson Tylenol scar? Someone posiomed Tylenol and the stock cratered. This is no different, except the “poisoning” never happened. And even if it did, it was 3 years ago and was discovered.

I'm fighting a similar, but much smaller battle myself... In early 2014, I acquired initial coin distribution stakes in a cryptocurrency called NEM for myself and my son. The developers decided to confiscate any stakes that went unclaimed during a poorly noticed and arbitrary claim period.

In January 2018 the coins my son and I were supposed to receive were worth $9M. I'm extremely upset about this, and the people behind it seem to have no shame about keeping the coins of the hundreds of people in this same situation.

The Bloomberg report talked about how investigators tracked phone calls inside China, presumably by hacking and compromising Chinese telecom infrastructure. I don't see how, even if true, the US government would own up to something like that, esp. when it is accusing China of hacking. Imagine the headlines that would generate if the Chinese admitted to doing the same to the US (tapping US calls without a court order and with the potential power to shut down the infrastructure in time of conflict). It would be a bigger deal than planting chips on a few motherboards. The whole story smells of fog of war.

If a real supply chain attack was actually happening sponsored by a foreign government, the US would flag it top secret and never release the details. I find it highly incredulous for DHS, or any US government agency, to publicly denounce such attacks as a non-issue... If anything, the report by Bloomberg is confirming what alot of people already suspected would happen or has already happened.
So basically Apple stated that they have not found anything and are not aware of FBI investigation and DHS confirmed Apple has not found anything and is not aware of FBI investigation. There is no statement that DHS has not found anything. The rest of the statement is water about DHS taking it's job seriously.
