Again, I don't think this is the only signal, or the most important signal, but there's still signal there. Imagine I get two data science candidates who seem basically the same and say they work in SQL daily. One of them can comfortably write out a JOIN with a GROUP BY and an ORDER BY when the problem calls for it, the other struggles and makes a lot of errors. I'm going to guess that the former is better at SQL, acknowledging that this is an imperfect proxy.

I'm also not nearly as picky as a compiler/interpreter. I can tell what you're trying to write, and lots of people make silly mistakes. But a high volume of mistakes, or especially difficulty getting anything substantial out at all, those start to make me worry.
It's funny it feels like a 'downgrade' as it is more lucrative. It is also really fun. You feel like a superhero when you show up at peoples house and rescue them from their problem (which if you are a plumber is often serious). I also noticed that we did a fair bit of almost counseling when we showed up at peoples houses, which also felt great. It got me out of the house and meeting people. To me it seems like a good noble career.

And let's not forget what Einstein said.. "If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances."
I thought most of the shoplifting damage isn’t the teenager (or senior) pocketing a snickers bar but the roving bands of professional shoplifters. These people can be caught and deterred.
Like I said, "This article is fantastic" :-)

The author isn't wrong, in that you can't really be wrong about a subjective opinion. The man dislikes podcasts, and that's a-ok.

I just happen to love them for all the same reasons he hates them. He's right that far too many podcasts sound like Ira Glass wannabes. He's right that the production quality isn't very high most of the time. There's plenty of garbage.

But the fact that podcasting allows garbage to exist? That's pure gold.

> E.g. here is a minimal QEMU command-line that gives you access to a serial console in the guest:

> `qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -no-user-config -nodefaults -m 2048 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi -device virtio-serial-pci -serial stdio -drive file=/export/cirros.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=virtio`

That's far more than I typically put in my qemu calls. You can technically be fine with just:

qemu-system-x86_64 foobar.qcow2

but I always add `-enable-kvm` and use `-monitor stdio` or `-nographic` depending if I want a graphic display from the vm or not. `-nographic` is all I need to give me access to a serial console in the guest (besides configuring the guest kernel with the paramater `console=ttyS0`). I also add `-m` because the default amount of memory is just 128 MiB, which is typically not enough for my use. Sometimes I add network related arguments, but we're going beyond minimal then.
>podcasts airing episodes from other shows on the same podcast network

I get your point but it's also allowed me to discover podcasts I probably wouldn't have otherwise learned about. And my general experience is that, if the cross-post is on a favorite podcast, it's probably worth at least a trial run.

I mostly pre-curate a playlist before getting in the car. There are very few podcasts where I listen to all or even most episodes. I do wish there was a better voice interface of some sort so that I could better interact while driving.

I just listened to an interview podcast that was clearly done on Skype. Interviewer on the left stereo channel, interviewee on the right. Despite the sucky sound quality of Skype and mics, the stereo separation made it relatively easy to follow.

Of course, this one is all about kitchen remodeling. I don't expect kitchen remodeling experts to also be audio engineers.

Respectfully, I think calling the most used language, or at the very least one of the top 3 languages on the entire planet a language that "has its niche" doesn't really do it justice. Niche is usually a dimunitive term.
Can you point me to some high quality podcasts? Most I have listened to have so much fluff and unnecessary banter that I subconsciously tune out.

>I hope they get caught and put out of business...

They may be caught, but it won't be by a prediction system. I can pretty much guarantee they will be the ones taking advantage of the prediction system. These rings are very difficult to crack even by seasoned store detectives and law enforcement. I would not count on AI/ML to do what your average city detectives can't, that's just wishful thinking.

If these rings get cracked, there will be some clever, human based, detective work behind the takedowns. AI/ML is just too easy to trick in all the predictable ways. It'll likely derail the opportunistic shoplifters, or less intelligent shoplifters that work alone. I don't think it will get close to disrupting these shoplifting networks though. (And in fairness, even the human police officers are easily diverted if you appeal to their biases. That's just the neuro-psychological nature of attention. No way around it in humans, just have to be aware of it and trust your hunches. If you have a hunch someone is trying to divert you, step back and take another look at the big picture.)
IBM has a division which produces technical books based on internal staff, business partner and client contributions. They've been doing this for quite a long time (I participated in one almost 20 years ago). Historically they had red covers and so to this day they are called the Redbooks. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com
The average age of the vehicle on the road in the US is about 10 years. Not everyone buys brand new cars, and after a few years things start to break.

Although from my experience things not related to drivetrain break:

* Suspension

* Brakes

* Steering rack.

As these components handle the most peak force.
Generally I agree with you. However using "he" also doesn't cost anyone anything in this context. After reading I couldn't have told you if the author had used "he," "she," or "they" until you mentioned it.

It's more complicated than "FP or not". Languages like Haskell isolate state and IO. But the mechanisms are there, and Haskell was intended to do it; it's just formalized and very strict. There are FP languages that don't have this pure separation (I believe OCaml and Scala mix IO freely), and that's more at the core of where the friction might be of interacting with a database rather than FP itself. I would often not use Haskell for database-related stuff, I agree, but it's more because I often do no require the level of strictness that the type system enforces in all my database interactions such that it would be worth the investment. But if you're doing mission-critical stuff, it may be worth getting the safety guarantees.
I can relate to this but I would never call myself "dark" even though I've been depressed more often than my peers. Instead I think I have experienced first hand more of the emotional spectrum than others might have and I consider this one of my strengths, that I have felt many things close to or within the realms of despair, without dying. I believe in and adhere to "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger".
The average car on the road is closing in on 12 years old [1] so you can't just look at the first 3 years. The first few years of an ICE vehicle might be very similar to an EV, but that changes drastically as a car ages.

> people in those countries lack concrete tangible mechanisms and systems to ensure their freedom, independence, and safety, in a productive society that also protects minorities

China does have these mechanisms. They may not be as effective as the ones in democracy, but they do exist. For example, their affirmative action policies are among the strongest in the world.

Also, China faces growing pains that the US already dealt with long ago. Just like how Americans viewed native Americans as fundamentally incompatible with contemporary civilization, China views the Uighurs and other minorities the same way. The American solution was war and driving natives on to ever smaller patches of land. The Chinese solution is forced assimilation. While I'd like to think that the US could deal with this problem a lot better today, our pattern of military intervention leaves me skeptical.
That might explain it then, i'm not fantastically well traveled outside of Europe and the only place I've seen monsters like this is Florida and Maine...

It isn't a concern for adoption, so I don't know why it would be a concern here. Courts care about the legal parents of a child, not the genetic parents.
Not really...

It's in the CL standard, and compliant implementations support it. SBCL, LispWorks, Allegro, CCL, and others all do AOT native compilation, from the REPL and via eval (which should be avoided, in any case). ABCL does AOT compilation to JVM bytecode, and Clisp to its own bytecode.

It's a cool feature for Nim to have, but claiming to be the first makes them look bad.

Synthetics last for so long that the breakdown of oil is not really a concern anymore. The primary reason to change a synthetic oil is due to contamination.

Modern engines are designed with much, much better tolerances than before and crank cases no longer vent into the atmosphere. If you use new synthetic oil in an old small-block Chevy, the oil will hold up for a long time, but it will be so contaminated by gasoline, moisture, and debris that it will still require shorter replacement intervals.
I'm not sure the article supports its thesis with anything concrete. It's the author's opinion that submodules and some scripts are inadequate, but in my experience, a variety of reliable and flexible developer experiences are possible.

Many devs barely scratch the surface of what git can do anyway. Onboarding them on a few extra scripts seems better than an entirely new scm tool.
These occasional hits are basically mathematically impossible. It wouldn't make sense for anyone to run a script to do this.

If you were really concerned, you could make a multisig wallet.
Well, simplicity is one thing, but I was shocked to learn that it doesn't even come with the complete POSIX toolbox (e.g. out of the box awk is missing). And finding out that `ftp` also handles http and https was a bit weird too.

To some extent, I like that simplicity too (especially security wise) but I wonder if they are taking it too far.
And it will happen.

Every time we make an advancement someone uses it in exactly the opposite way than intended. In this case people will get too confident in the technology, and start accusing random people with a tick or other false-positive indicator.
To add another existing implementation of this, Naughty Dog's Lisp-based assembler could do hot code reloading, and that workflow was extensively used for developing Jak & Daxter. Plus, obviously any JIT'd language can do this but it's fair not to count that. Still, that's just splitting hairs and it's really exciting to see this in Nim. It's a great language and it's a shame that it doesn't seem to have found a real niche yet.

To clarify the title: they’re guessing insecure private keys, not keys generated by normal (and not buggy) wallet software.

This isn’t surprising. “Brain wallets” have been been discouraged for a long time now. Unless you really know what you’re doing it’s easy to accidentally pick an insecure phrase. Even a paragraph of text from, say, an obscure book will probably eventually be found, if that book ever ends up digitized on the Internet.

The safest way is to generate a truly random key, then map that to a wordlist like BIP39 does.

Weird. The podcasts I listen to are mostly improvised long form conversations between interesting people: EconTalk, Partially Examined Life, Primo Nutmeg, The Henry George Program, Software Engineering Daily, A16Z, Track Changes, Joe Rogan, Tyler Cowan, and so on. Mainstream anything is kind of bad, but the supply of truly interesting podcasts is quite tremendous.
In the throes of what was, in retrospect, probably depression, I made a playlist of my 'blues', the saddest songs I knew, to try and get a handle on what I was feeling. Somehow knowing I wasn't unique in sorrow helped, as did hearing how others dealt with it, even in such a packaged form.

Lots of other songs hit closer to home, but, somehow, 'Everybody Plays the Fool' by 'The Main Ingredient' always puts me in a better mood when it comes on.

> If your understanding of unions begins and ends in terms of what's "in it for me" then I'd urge you to rephrase the question: "what's in it for us?"

Respectfully, and with a heavy heart, I must decline to do so. I am not interested in some nebulous "us", doubly so one that is poorly defined. I want to know how a union will improve my life. It's far too easy to sacrifice me in the interests of "us". After you, my friend.

I do not want to hear how a union will improve the safety and privacy of hundreds of millions. That's the job of governments. I want to hear about how a union will improve my privacy and safety. I want to hear about how this union will unconditionally have my back. I want to hear how you propose to make sure that a union doesn't turn into another way to bully, harass, and sit in arbitrary moralistic judgment of workers.

Alternatively, tell me how your union will expel - and render unemployable - practicioners who through ignorance, negligence, and recklessness endanger the safety and privacy of hundreds of millions. I have worked with more than a few engineers in my time who have been guilty of that. No warnings, no slap on the wrist, just up-front education and swift, harsh incentives to be careful and not fuck up. I know, I know, unrealistic and cruel, right? No need to wreck someone's livelihood, right?

You're absolutely right, of course. It's in every way about taking back control. You'll have to excuse me if I'm reluctant to take it back from one faceless and unaccountable group that doesn't care about me so I can hand it to another faceless and unaccountable group that doesn't care about me. That seems like a needlessly complex way to not solve the problems at hand.

As I've stated in another post on here, what's the point of these articles? It just says everything sucks, but doesn't really dive into why or how we could possibly fix any issues they may directly point out. Also it kind of sounds like the author really doesn't have any idea what GitLab is or does, so maybe he should check it out.

But allow me to retort these bald assertions presented in the article:

Monorepos are great.

Multirepos are great.

Git is the best source control system ever. And if you think it could do something better, well have I got news for you. It's completely open source and extendable with various script entry points and an easily accessibly API.

Thanks for reading my blog.
There was a case of that happening with a lesbian couple who split up, but the donor and couple in that case didn't go through the proper channels. They basically went the turkey baster route rather than finding a donor through a sperm bank.

23andMe don't sequence DNA. They use extremely low resolution SNP chips. Such SNP chips are currently used in exactly zero real world (human) medical applications. This is because they are useless as a test with anything near acceptable diagnostic performance. Anyway, the point of the article is that the interpretation of the results may not be accurate, and that is a fairly generous way to put it.
I like the idea of creating a source control protocol that can be implemented with any number of tools rather than having wars over particular implementations of source control products.

Adopting an Omakase Approach to Containerized Infrastructure
The typical approach of sliding the kernel around only offers limited benefit. One leaked address and you're done.

The current approach, called KARL, relinks the kernel so that while it may load at the same address, symbols internally do not have the same offset. Learning the address of printf will not reveal the address of malloc and so forth. In the context of kernel defense, I would argue this is more effective.

Also, simply as a practical matter, the bootloader and kernel are tightly coupled in ways that make altering the load address a nontrivial endeavor.
Could this allow bootloader unlocking, custom roms, etc. on an otherwise locked device (e.g. S7)? Tried the engineering bootloader, but horrible battery management.

I'll avoid updating until I know more.
