Of course it is. I agree with your comment.
I also think FB is the work of secret services, from its inception to the present day. I've seen Zuck talk, and he doesn't strike me as a specially smart guy. But he's young and always smiling, shows enthusiasm and that's what people need. It's a nice cover.
Very specific tools, sure. If you have the time, people, and skills to keep your own list of baked-in dependencies and monitor it for issues - great. But for a random person downloading something from the internet, it's a dangerous thing to default to.
if you could only chose one language for server side "web apps", would you choose python or javascript?
I imagine it’ll also probably be hell on tires. You’d need W- or Z-rated tires to do that and those are $$. Perhaps smooth concrete will mean lower rolling friction along with lack of sudden maneouvers. Still, going that fast is expensive in all sorts of ways.
I could but I won't. What keeps me on VMware if that I can easily expand the vm to use 1 or more monitors. I am not sure if hyperv handles resizing of the window as smooth as VMware the adjust the display settings in the client. Last time i checked hyperv (rdp) just gave me scrollbars. It is probably antitrust concerns that is the reason why Microsoft never has improved the RDP client.
Where did I say I hated it? It just has different security characteristics, and I think static linking proponents are sometimes a bit hand-wavy about the implications of those.

I suppose my gut feeling is that it's more prone to issues of human error - why should I have to recompile my application if the security hole was found in a library I've linked to? With dynamic linking, assuming you're publishing your software for an OS with a conscientious approach to security patches, ie. pretty much all the major ones, it's a solved problem. With static linking, if you forget to update your binary, well, it's your problem.
> Musk played a simulation showing the wheels folding neatly underneath the car’s undercarriage when not in use. Adding them during assembly or after-market would cost $200 to $300, he said, and would not interfere with the vehicle’s normal operation.
Yeah, I'm thinking of going with only the minimal istio installation (pilot only), not to roll our own, and setting it up with our existing consul service Discovery.
You're assuming that it's important to actually solve the problem. I'm not sure that's the case - it's really asking whether or not the candidate understands that brute forcing is a poor solution and determining whether they're capable of even looking for a better solution. A lot of developers find it very hard to look past the obvious first solution they find to a more efficient algorithm instead. Specifically companies like Google want to hire people who can do that deeper work.

The real issue with problems like this is when much smaller companies hiring a dev who'll be bolting together APIs and won't ever need to know an answer start to copy the technique believing "it's how you hire devs".
And too many people that can't be bothered to think of easy ways of filtering them without something stupid like fizzbuzz

Who's the faker again?
Huh, TIL Tesla Autopilot only works at speeds below 50 mph. I thought it was mainly for highway driving, but highways are more like 60-100 mph. I assumed it worked at highway speeds. What gives?
We're actually looking to put Envoy in front of the redesign stack at some point in the near future! The major services backing the redesign can be isolated into a few smaller pieces, and we'd like to have Envoy be a routing layer that can abstract this for the central browser client as we evolve the backend.
Serious question: Why would you use WASM for a dynamically typed, GC'ed language?
Depending on you work you don't need to use it again. I have not used it for a decade. I somewhat remember the theory. For interview i can just memorize it.
Power users get Pro, typical home users think that sandboxes are children playgrounds.
I would advise against putting any phone in your checked luggage. Too many dishonest baggage handlers and security screeners around.
I find this amusing because lots of people put bullshit on their resumes that one has to filter them out.

I already have my hands full trying to filter out the posers and assessing for culture fit. I don't have time to ask a candidate for some questions that aren't related to the role at hand.

But hey, you do you.
They built it with a lot of drawbacks: Small modules, complex assembly, requiring modules to have their own propulsion systems, etc.

Plus, since this seems to get forgotten a lot, size matters. I find the best size comparison between the ISS and MIR is with the Space Shuttle attached: ISS [1] vs Mir [2].

> I make a lot of cool stuff day to day, and usually that requires a lot of code and knowledge about programming and topics that are rather advanced

I'm not entirely sure who this guide is written for. But if we're playing the 'nobody does this in real life' card, I wonder which would be a tighter filter for new CS grads: this dynamic programming questions or writing a regex with capture groups.
Many libraries don't use it. Another convention uses it for methods that might raise an exception.
In case you think these questions are not actually asked in Google interviews, I should add that I was asked this very question in Google SDE interview just 6 days ago. I failed to answer this and was consequently rejected. Also, the interviewer asked me nothing other than this question. Nothing about the breadth of work that I have done in different sectors, my interest/passion, personal projects etc. I was so upset after the interview was over and I cried a lot after reaching home. :(
I feel it lacks some features like being able to preinstall software such as adobe reader on the virtual desktop.
Per-service proxy deployments are a bit complex for the infrastructure but provide a nice abstraction for the service and service developers themselves. The configuration scheme is indeed daunting, which is what we're hoping Envoy and its xDS APIs + centralized configs can help us solve for developer teams.
2. Do you have multiple non-containerized services per machine? If yes, did you go with one proxy per machine or service instance?
This is Swedish law (or at least clear authority guidelines). I can’t find an English link but if you absolutely don’t believe me I could translate (but just want to make sure you didn’t think I was talking about US law before I waste that effort :D )
Yes but Google wants the right answer, regardless of the way you think and regardless of the fact that you came up with a proof for P=NP on the interview
>So, the selfish question then is: How do I protect myself from such unwarranted searches? Is there a way I can present my phone such that it drops into a mode that contains no data? Do I need to back my phone up before traveling, wipe it for the border crossing, and then restore once I feel safe?

Save your encrypted system configuration/data on a service. Leave all your devices behind. Buy new devices on the other side of the border, and restore from the encrypted backup. This is really the only way to completely sidestep the risk.
The consensus view as reported by WHO estimates around 4000 in total will eventually die due to Chernobyl. Not millions.
As much as hyper-v. Without sounding disparaging (because this is really cool), its just a one-click application-on-windows-on-hyper-v. So all the pros and cons come with it.
this isn’t over, not by a long shot.

if this company is still being pulled along (i hesitate to say led) by the CFO, and i believe it is, then this will have lasting repercussions.

the spark of revolution has been quelled and the peasants have been appeased. but their hand has been shown and they have but one card to play. ok sorry for the poor job at evocative rhetoric.

basically, from this point and for the next 5 years the culture will be changed by subtle, barely perceptible nudges. at the end, the engineers will be left without any real voice and any uprising will by met with backlash from their peers, not their betters.

then, google will be able to explore china and similar markets.

or perhaps, much like many tech companies license their IP from an IE subsidiary, the core tech will be licensed to a subsidiary that isn’t constrained by western morals.
What should software engineers know about quantum computers?
What happens if a car breaks down in the tunnel?
That is what Windows store apps and MSIX sandbox are for.
And it's best not to think about what happens if a car stops for any reason, or worse, catches fire. I do not believe any escape hatches were part of the demo and cost calculations.
DIY Automatic Railway Crossing – DIY Projects
Is this safe? I didn't see any escape paths. What happens if there is a fire and you are in the sixth tube down?

Electric trains are considered quite safe yet tunnels have a lot of escape paths and service tunnels built parallel to the main one.
For some reason with the 1809 version of Windows, I've been able to run both Hyper-V and VMWare Workstation simultaneously. Never was able to do that before.

Anyway, I eventually switched for docker support, and used this powershell-based tool that converts VMWare workstation VMs to Hyper-V VMs - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=424...
Here's are the procedings [1] and the complaint [2]

Say what you will about the US and the fact that you can get shot for looking at the wrong guy at the wrong time, but the mere fact that this happening and so easy to follow is quite interesting. In Germany you'd be laughed out of the room and I've had my fair share of racism to deal with from the authorities despite having grown up here.

Would the constant movement of cars in the tunnel induce a wind, reducing the pressure differential?

I guess that depends a lot on the density of cars and topology of the tunnels (a simple loop would be ideal, I think).
It’s sad but not unreasonable that you implicitly discount the possibility of a political solution.
In a disc brake system, the brake fluid level will become lower due to normal wear on the pads. Often an indicator that pads are worn is that the low brake fluid warning light will illuminate on the dashboard.

If you top up the fluid at that point, everything will seem normal, but the pads will continue to wear until the friction material is entirely gone.

Sinking pedal while stopped can also be caused by leaking seals in the master cylinder.

So yes, low fluid level is either an indication of pad wear or a leak, it's not a normal condition and if you don't know the cause, you should take it to a shop that can check it out.

From the same news website:

I realize there's little the Chinese government can do if you're not in their country, but to what extent do they have control over the car? The same concerns go for Tesla so please don't "what about Tesla?" me.

I'm all for electric cars, but perhaps foreign markets shouldn't so readily accept 2 ton computers running software straight from China. How much analysis on the software can one feasibly do to ensure nothing fishy is going on?

You've got to understand the purpose of those books.

You, dmd, are not going to do anything with the knowledge gleaned from those books, except possibly one of two things: Peruse further study, or inspire others (usually children) to be interested in the field. The book opens up the field, the basic concepts of the field, and a bit of history of the field to you. You now have the tools to go off and either learn more or inspire others. You can even get into conversations and debates with those well-versed in the field.

The book is a gateway into a field, not a path to follow in the field.

Until a court rules that they can ask for your encrypted remote backup because reasons. And then hold you in contempt until you comply.

This isn’t a technical problem, it’s a political one, which means it demands a political solution.
We run one proxy per machine, even when there are multiple services running. The proxy is just an abstraction to the downstream dependencies. Even if there are multiple services per machine, they can still reach downstream services via the same proxy path.
"People"

Here's the thing. Nuclear power isn't automatic. It isn't static. It isn't founded on anything so reliable or durable as, say The Pyramids of Egypt or South America.

We don't build these things to last thousands of years. We build them to last a few decades.

And the people that run them? You can select dependable people, but no one seems to be able to quantify the objective details that make for an ideal nuclear engineer. Is there an unlimited supply? What if market forces apply pressure to our feedstock of nuclear engineers?

How do you know there will always be people to tend the flame?

Look at New York City's MTA and its subway system. There are people willing to spend time running those trains and maintaining those tunnels and booths, but how much skill does that require, and how much does it cost?

Given the option to take on a role operating a train as an engineer on an NYC subway line (pick any line), underground in smelly, toxic soot covered tunnels inhabited by roaches, rats and bums all urinating and defecating as needed, drunks on the weekends, commuters punching and fighting each other in the morning and on the way home during rush hours, 12 hours a day for the rest of your life, which other jobs would you take first, provided matching pay?

Garbage man? Dishwasher? Short order cook? Professional baseball player? Basketball player? Porn star? Cashier? Branch manager at a bank? Librarian? Truck driver?

Now perform the same exercise for nuclear engineer.

Nevermind the science, What about the social forces? The human factors are the issue.

If it were as simple as stacking bricks and leaving them where they are, with a failure mode rendering the system dead and little more than an explorable landmark, without consequence no one would complain. But that's not what happens when these things fail.

If the potential is so valuable, why not build them with all the reverance of an international landmark?

People can see through this fact. Such a plan will never see the light of day. Nuclear plants will always be bult with all the charm of an American public school. A place with all the charm of a child prison, running on a razor thin margin.

If the power they can produce is so plentiful, why are they not built to lend the impression of an unlimited budget?

Does anyone know the track width? It's more likely to become a global standard if they picked a nice number in meters.
Tunnels looked wide enough to get out and walk thru. They’ll need ventilation and will probably get maint / esc hatches for regs. Dunno about ADA. Didn’t seem like a detail worth hashing out in a debut tho.
Ask HN: Home security without compromising privacy?
Some people in my household want to get a Ring doorbell camera (2 'yay' votes). Others are against the idea (2 'nay' votes, one of them vehemently so).

It's a Christmas present type idea right now and we had a largely emotional discussion that didn't really get anywhere concrete on details or requirements.

On the one hand, I believe proactive defense preparedness is pretty much always superior than not planning ahead. On the other hand, I share some of the concerns of the nay votes:

- intra-surveillance concerns

- "it's not necessary" (which, to be honest, doesn't seem a fact to me: hindsight is 20/20, foresight is not.)

- concerns that they are ineffective (been browsing some reddit posts about these home security doorbell type things and not all of them really inspire confidence in the products themselves..)

- discontinuation concerns

So far I consider myself in favor of some type of video-based security but not if it means compromising non-negligible degrees of privacy. Then again, it's the people who actually own the house who are in favor of it.

I'm trying to figure out if there is some compromise that works out best for everyone.

So.. how do you secure your home, and with what technology, and what should I think about? (Questions I'm thinking I should be thinking about are "what is your threat model?", etc)
At this point, only maybe, after the next revolution.
Because Germany has a hard time matching supply and demand internally. It is not a reliable seller. Negative prices are a symptom of technical problems are they face.

Sandboxie is a broken POS. I gave up on it a few months ago after getting tired of having to troubleshoot why another app wasn't working the way it should.
What? Where did you read this? I have a Model 3 and Autopilot works at regular highway speeds (65+ mph). I use it for highway driving all the time.
The elevators in and elevators out are the bottleneck.

Then inside it looks like a safety and escape hazard nightmare. What happens when someone gets a flat tire?
I don’t build the VMs myself, they’re created as part of a CI pipeline. I once tried converting the VMs to VirtualBox while I was waiting for the VMware license—didn’t work.

But maybe it’ll work with 1809, who knows. Don’t have it yet.
Considering the elevator bottleneck at the end I don't think theoretical speeds are that important anyway.
Interesting. How long ago was this? I've used Sandboxie for around 10 years and in that entire time, it has always just been a matter of right-clicking the program and "Run Sandboxed", even trivially accessing the sandboxed start menu via the notification icon.
Microsoft Releases Trill as Open Source Product
Theoretically yes, but it would probably take a considerable performance hit.
It’s explicitly not Tesla exclusive. Doubt regs would allow that anyway.

I'll take this one step further: Microsoft should make this as easy as "right click > Run in Sandbox". It would make the lives of everyone so much easier.
I assume your criticism applies to OO? Or functional programming? Or event sourcing? Or any number of programming concepts without a "standard"?
Quick thoughts...

First thought: I'd love to be able to ship an app w/ this enabled by default (i.e. it's an ephemeral app w/ no local data storage).

Second thought: I'd love to pause this snapshot and resume it. Too many apps store preferences that you don't want to reconfigure just because you want isolation from the rest of the system each execution.

Third thought: Instead of always-dispose-on-app-close, I would like to namespace/cgroups-style it instead. This is how I would expect the Chrome equivalent of FF's "containers" would be built (I know I can --user-data-dir which is similar).

Oh no! You were so close!
Right, maybe the best way to figure out its completeness is just testing it. AOT has received a lot of love these days, the runtime accepts many flags when dealing with it, e.g. "fullaot".
Do you have any info that shows it's not "as elegant"? Sandboxie works great for me and has always done it's job.

it's just detecting the emission of .5 MeV from the positron hitting an electron (annihilation). not much in terms of testing actual entanglement related to spin.
For mobile devices there are apps that will pretend to be something innocuous (say, a clock, or a flashlight app), and actually work as hidden storage. It would depend on whether the agents are using computerized inspection or manually looking through your phone (as they could easily build a blacklist of such apps), but if they're doing it manually and the app really does do the function it suggests it does and has a hidden unlock mechanism, they won't detect it.

For laptops, you can install multiple operating systems and simply set the BIOS or EFI bootloader to boot the dummy one by default when going to the airport and make sure the dummy hides the partitions of the real one. Once again, this will fool manual inspection, but not computerized. Fooling computerized inspection would require placing the real encrypted file system within the dummy one, without any headers indicating that it's a file system: much more complicated and can lead to data loss if the dummy system writes over it.

Either way, you don't want to simply wipe everything and restore once you're across borders if you actually want to cross. For one, there's the chance they'll just confiscate your device, but if you're not a citizen of the country you're entering, they'll just deny you entry on suspicion. You want something that's fake, but convincing, which takes effort.
Seems like it needs to be centrally controlled automation so they’d be able to adjust fleet speed in relevant area for any issues that arose.

Flat tire seems easy, probably a limp home mode to nearest exit + slow down nearby fleet. There should be many exits and relatively close to each other since they’re so low cost.

I’m more concerned about fire & earthquake.
It could just be that we simply haven't had time to figure out the manner in which it's hostile.
