When I was working on one open source terminal library, I wanted to get a 3270 family terminal (with appropriate bridge for TCP/IP or RS232), just to look for ideas that were lost to the Unix and other communities I already know.

I understand some other, more generic serial terminals, like were used on Unix, also had block modes (local editing of screen regions), but I'm not aware of Unix software taking advantage of that.
Agreed. That's why I find it easier if you announce ahead of time, "hey guys, I'm going offline for a while to focus on $SOME_SPECIFIC_THING". At least with the places I've worked, and the cultures I've worked in, I've found that people (usually) respect that.

There is also the story of Amazon mandating that all internal systems communicate with each other through APIs. I think leadership at Amazon has good technical knowledge so they can develop these strategies and see them through.

In my company nobody with a "C*O" title (including CIO and CTO) has any clue about tech so they are very susceptible to snake oil salesmen telling them things like "we must do ML". So they tell some random person to "implement AI" but nobody has any clear objectives or can make a judgement whether things go in the right direction. In most cases these things end up as expensive disasters. I am waiting for the "Blockchain Excellence Initiative" with a lot of presentations and shiny newsletters.
It seems a bit contradictory to me, though, that here we are on a forum whose entire premise is aggressive curation of "quality," talking about a video streaming platform considered by many here to be a vapid cesspool of inane nonsense and clickbait wanting to improve the quality of what its users see, and the immediate reaction is to cry censorship, and wonder whether "quality" even means anything, rather than say "it's about time."

And if you like Logan Paul videos, you're probably already subscribed to his channel. Be sure to click the bell to be notified. There's also a search bar you can type "Logan Paul" into. He's not quality, though.

Assuming Youtube isn't secretly pushing some left-wing agenda of propaganda and mind-control (I don't believe they are, but a lot of people do) and that their goals are as stated, then I don't see how adding a "quality" metric to all of their other metrics is a bad thing.
"Naming things" is jokingly referred to as the hardest part of computer science.

I remember a TON of articles written about Go, and how the name would impact search ratings, etc - and about how a modern language could never be called "C" because it wasn't "Googleable".

Naming things is definitely a "thing" we all talk about, constantly.
Bitcoin itself doesn't provide any network anonymity; it's sort of left as the user's problem. A user can use something like Tor or Dandelion if anonymity is important to them. The high latency is just due to Bitcoin's consensus mechanism.
Interesting thought.

Well, workers can buy equity in some company if they want. And shareholders' dividends get diluted.
I've had this on lots of laptops, but the worst was a thinkpad, whose only exposed metal was a little fingerprint reader that lined up perfectly with the softest, most sensitive skin of my wrist. I hated the little shocks from that thing.

For low-skilled factory workers a union is largely about defending their rights and making sure they're treated fairly.

For a tech worker, a union is largely about providing a worker-focused counterbalance to your companies decisions. Who buys the tech we make? What tech do we make? Do we allow ourselves to make tech that evades, impedes or outright destroys a person's rights?

I don't want tech employees to quit those facial recognition companies. I want a large group of employees with a seat at the table saying that their work should be used ethically. Those companies can always find employees who for a variety of reasons will do the work. My hope is that there is a group of employees there who want to do the work and for the right reasons. More power to them.
Pure pith.
This is the paper. The library, well the library literally discovers a new category theoretic construct that previously no one believed existed in Haskell.
They do sometimes manipulate the audio channel by muting it because of a copyright claim, that's what I was referring to.
I've heard this one about so many things. I deeply and honestly followed people saying it to see what they meant. Spirituality, sex, drug, philosophy, meditation, human relationships, sport, games, love, traveling...

The link between all of them is how much they over sell their experience and pretend they have access to something unique other people just don't get.
It is certainly doable, but I doubt that most people have IaC which is complete, reproducible and tested enough. And the data migration from the breached host still means some risk.
I think it's a voyeuristic tendency of some people to watch other people work. You can join a few dozen Slack channels, and peek in on them constantly, similar to twitter or reddit.

Maybe a desire to find drama? Vs focus on your own "boring" problem. The funny thing is, it can make you feel productive!

Drawing from margin prevents you from needing to sell and rebuy securities to free up $ as needed. This means no taxable events occur, so you don't have to deal with capital gains.

It's also the cheapest possible credit you can obtain as a consumer. TBH it's so cheap that you can reasonably expect your investment returns to at least match it in the long run, so as long as you aren't drawing so heavily as to get an unhealthy leverage ratio
> If you allow someone to have rights to another person's product or service

Who said this should ever be the case? You're assuming I support a right to healthcare. I don't support that, nor do I support most positive rights. Especially if they're not constitutional and are federally implemented.

The obvious solution to all the problems you mentioned is that nobody has a right to anyone else's product or service, which goes back to my original point: what right have you to the fruits of my labor?
Outside money is helpful if you want to grow in a specific direction and want to do it fast to make sure you get there before competitors do.

It sounds like you have a nice thing going, there's no need to jump into the deep end if you don't have the ambitions to.

A lot of VCs talk about raising money as 'the big leagues', and the takeaway from that is: success is judged as performance against expected returns. Perform or get out.

If this doesn't sound like what you want, then don't take VC $. If you're ambitious and it sounds like an interesting challenge then maybe it's something to consider!
I've been through the ringer... I'm in my 40s and at the point in my life where if you'd pay me good money to dig holes, then I'd dig holes. I go to where ever pays me the most to dig. I don't identify myself by where I work at. I don't expect other people to have my values, and definitely don't have those expectations on a corporation. I have this mercenary attitude because I know that I'm solely responsible for myself and my family. If you are going to expect that a union, corporation or a government take care of you, then you are going to be very disappointed - that is my problem with socialism.
Tech workers are becoming more fungible. More and more employer consolidation in the industry. More globalization.
If you really have product/market fit and know how to find and sell to customers most of the risk is gone.

I saved a few papers on deterministic multithreading both to knock out concurrency errors and support formal verification. I'm not sure how helpful they are in your use case. I'm just dropping them in case they give you ideas:

This seems like an all or nothing type of thing. I for one would never join a union so if some tech workers started to unionize I would always be available to take their place for the right price. It seems like incomplete attempts to unionize our industry will benefit those that don't want to unionize the most by making them more attractive employees.
Recently I broke my terminal emulator's config while I didn't have an internet connection so I had to use a virtual terminal to fix it. It made me wonder, does anybody use virtual terminals as their daily drivers?

It is hearsay (person from a security firm told me, don't remember which one). I'm very curious about the update mechanism. Either way, as a Java app it should not be too difficult to decompile it.
It is very easy to convince the public, OEMs are the ones that need to be convinced.

ART is already being ported into Fuchsia and Linuxisms are not part of NDK stable APIs.

So managed Android apps will just work, and NDK libraries only need to be recompiled.
It's too many grammar restrictions for this person. That's obviously what's implied by the person's original comment.
The thing to be worried about is competition.

Could someone replicate your product/distribution exactly (which means they have product/market fit) then go raise a ton of money and crush you?

Relatedly, imagine the Soviet Union still existed and continued to own all productive property within it.

Would the people who give absolute value to the right of property holders to do what they choose with it support the Soviet Union's right to organize its economy however it so choose, along with controlling the media it owns and the workforce it contracts with? After all, it owns the property, and anyone with credible contrary claims to it would be long dead.
Exactly. Take pride in being that person who is so busy/focused that you can't be bothered to respond instantly to every discussion. Slowly train others to understand this working style.
It requires a single pass through the array, whereas the article suggests different approaches that all go through the array multiple times (or even O(n^2)). For small lists this is probably ok, but for big lists it is a very slow approach.

Edit: I would probably use a bloom filter for this.
Econometrics Behind Simple Linear Regression
Other decentralized techs had promise but were later re-centralized (FM radio is the first example that comes to mind). It seems to me techies think that the natural tendency to monopolies in the capitalistic economy can be countered by distributed protocols, and I think the evidence is against that. FM radio -> clear channel. TCP/IP -> NAT. SMTP/IMAP -> gmail, outlook, yahoo. http -> web giants. XMPP -> Facebook messenger. The idea that monopolies are obsolete by the time they form is preposterous. Recommended reading: "The curse of bigness" Tim Wu.
Basically you need to make sure the host you are SSH'ing into with an agent is secure. Otherwise the root user on that host can access your agent socket and connect to any other machines your agent can.

So if you SSH -A to a compromised Jenkins server, and you've got all your production keys loaded in your agent, the hacker can now authenticate to all those production machines as well.

So don't ever SSH -A into a machine unless you KNOW its secure. The way I think about it is unless I trust the machine enough to leave my private keys on that machine, then I'm not going to SSH -A into it.
There's some irony in the example.

How do you name a black hole? It is pretty complicated
Before believing a study take a look at its methodology
I have, to some degree, given up trying to hire senior developers. Instead, I'm doubling down on the internal training programme (and have hired extra juniors).

5% of time is set aside for training. Works out a little over a half-day every fortnight - every fortnight, after lunch on Friday, drop the code and hit the books, pet projects, videos, experiments, whatever clearly makes you a better software engineer. If you don't spend that time on your own training, questions are asked. Nobody has been fired for not training yet, but if we get someone who simply refuses to, I could see it going that way; when we hire someone, we're not just hiring that person today - we're hiring that person next year, and we're banking on that person next year being better at this.

There is CapEx for books. We have PluralSight licences. New starters' agreed objectives include reading and thence using "Effective C++"; I will come by your desk every so often to chat about parts of it. We have short presentations every fortnight (the time of which doesn't even come out of the 5% training time) on technical topics. Once you've covered the basics, the company starts contributing towards conference attending.

The last senior dev who got internally promoted currently has an allowance of 50% of his time for helping more junior devs understand things. Fifty percent! The intention is to get his senior dev knowledge and experience out of his head and into the heads of five other people; growing ourselves five more senior devs.

I got all this by asking for it. Grow your own. Everyone wins. The company wins, the employees win. Just had to ask; if you ask, and your company isn't interested in improving, isn't interested in producing better products, faster and cheaper... well, is that really the company for you? :)
Yes. We offer it. What we do not have is working on a bleeding edge work - electric vehicles, space flights, cure cancer .. etc
“Socialist” is a meaningless label by itself. In the US they call Sweden and Venezuela “socialist” although they are totally different countries.

Even if they're organized by the window, I don't have any context as to what I was thinking when I saved it (was I interested in the entire site, or just a piece?). After a certain point bookmarks and OneTab are just too noisey to have any value.

Salty water (or acidic, or basic water) would be even more conductive, no?

And the salt would reduce evaporation (and remain until it rains) until next time.

> I find the people who are clamoring for unions in tech are among the least talented and skilled of employees, and they should probably find a new industry entirely instead of trying to change the one they’re in to be more hospitable to the lowest common denominators.

That's one perspective, sure. Here's another perspective: There's nothing stopping a company from firing it's junior and 'least talented and skilled' employees in favor of contractors or outsourcing.
GDPR Feels Useless
So `cat /tmp/hello.txt` does not read stdin from `/tmp/hello.txt`? Why does `cat /tmp/hello.txt` set stdout to `/tmp/hello.txt` this is confusing

Also his example ` exec 5<> /tmp/lines.txt` fails with ambiguous redirect.
Feynman's argument is made from a phenomenon predicted for rotating black holes, that is analogous to stimulated emission. I believe Hawking radiation is predicted for all black holes, whether rotating or not, so I am wondering if there is a phenomenon analogous to stimulated emission from non-rotating black holes? (I am making an analogy of analogies here: if the original phenomenon is like stimulated emission from rotating black holes, and Hawking radiation is the corresponding spontaneous emission, then is Hawking radiation from stationary black holes also like spontaneous emission, and if so, what is the corresponding stimulated emission?)
Ack. Thanks for that, goodness knows what I was thinking. Still, the value is high in any case.
> owners and especially managers nowadays controlling priorities and work rules

So? I do think some people have bad practices. Non-competes, for instance, are often abused. But you can still leave...

> existing corporate management structures... rely on state violence to maintain themselves... If a bunch of workers enacted control over their workplace

Yes, if there was a workers uprising, I would darn well hope the police would come in and crack heads. You don't get to "enact control" over other people's stuff (including their company). But I do think that crony capitalism is cancer, see Amazon's recent $15/hr push to force competitors out of business.

> You're simply defining your narrow conception of property rights and economic organization to be the Right and Natural Way for Things to Be, and you choose to not see the club of government used to enforce it.

You're absolutely right that property rights are the Right and Natural Way for things to Be. If you don't agree, read about the tragedy of the commons. And look at the 100s of millions communism has killed.

We live in a nation founded on the basis of property rights. One of the most basic functions of our government is to enforce property rights. It's impossible to run a civilization on our scale without it. If you really don't like America and the way she's run, you could leave.

And the idea that you can have my stuff just because you want it is plain wrong.

First paragraph of the article, for some context:

>Diana Kennedy (born 3 March 1923)[1] is an authority on Mexican cooking known for her nine books on the subject, including The Cuisines of Mexico, which started changing how Americans view Mexican cooking. Her work is the basis of much of the work of Mexican chefs in the United States. Her cookbooks are distinctive because they are based on her fifty years of traveling Mexico, interviewing and learning from cooks of all kinds in the country, and from just about every region.

Apart from all she has done about research and writing about traditional Mexican cooking, the part about her quinta (homestead), i.e. the section "Quinta Diana" is also interesting.
Outside of the small percentage of fanatics that you find in any group, I don't know any bicyclists who want to take people's cars away.

I know that I don't. I don't even think less of people who drive. I just want to be able to use the transportation methods that suits me best, just like they do.
> Another weird think in the interview is Lightman saying that he don't think Feynman didn't have a big ego.

I only got to know him pretty late in his life (when he was in Boston) and FWIW, compared to many folks around MIT he was not especially or showily egotistical and he had the time to talk to random students about interesting things. He was more patient than most of the MIT faculty.

I can't say I was some sort of pal or anything so perhaps I got the benefit of a more edited persona?

I can’t tell if you’re joking? Today the drivers buy the cars. A driverless car can’t buy itself, so some entity will have to, and if it is not Uber itself buying the car whoever did buy it will want to get paid just like today’s drivers do.
