The people who criticized her and fired her need to be removed from their positions and barred from working in the public sector ever again. Further any action they've taken in the name of "the public" needs to be validated by an independent group.

It's a hard-line stance I know. Anything less tho is just externalizing the damage done by these fools and their "win at all costs" mentality. It's easy to have that mentality when the "costs" to the actor are - at worst - keeping ill gotten gains and some slap on the wrist, while the real consequences are borne by people who are effectively collateral damage.

Sure I'm a crazy hippie, but the fact that this woman got a settlement does nothing to help the real problem. If anything, it makes it worse - the people are distracted by the bread and circuses of a person getting a pile of money, while the NY medical examiner's office gets to purge a person fighting for actual correctness. I'm sure her absence will make it easier for prosecutors to "win" more, since there are fewer people arguing to do silly things like trying to follow the prinicple of "prosecute the actual offender".
I doubt I’ll ever fly on a 737 Max again. I already cancelled one work trip because of it. Told my boss, “two have crashed, FAA isn’t doing anything, not risking orphaning my kids for this meeting.” He agreed with my logic.
This is surprising, given the vitriol that is on much of talk radio. What kind of music was making you more frustrated on the road?
First time hearing of Rivian. Cool concept, i imagine getting electric motors to move huge trucks around is a better/more mainstream application then a 0-60 in 2 second hyper car.

Extending NAPALM's Capabilities in the Salt Environment
As someone who has experienced this firsthand, I think deep / sad music is a depressed person's form of white noise. It satiates the part of your mind that wants you to actively think about why you hate life and allows you to be neutral for a short while. I'm still perplexed by this going through playlists I made while in college during the deepest depths of my depression.
I worked for a big company that made some really popular networking equipment. Of all people you would expect them to handle security ... fairly ok.

Yet they struggled to get headcount for people to respond to security researchers, and despite having seemingly trained the executives there was a regular "Oh man I contacted legal we should sue this guy!" type email every few months.

Meanwhile they had a separate technical support team who knew how to respond to customers in a timely fashion, make people feel like they're being listened to, but for some reasons they had to reinvent the wheel / fail repeatedly at dealing with security researchers as if nobody had ever done basic customer service before. I was on the support team and I sat next to the security guy(s) and I would show them what to do and how to keep a customer or security researcher on track. It wasn't rocket science, but nobody thought to teach them that.

And that was beyond training engineering to stop with the "well you're using it wrong" type responses.

The scale of, incompetence in the security field is astounding as a lot of folks with security written all over their resume don't know jack squat. And the scale of incompetence just DEALING with security researchers is also bizzaro world terrible, even among companies that should know better.

TBH, I tend to give up on the accelerated video drivers on Windows inside of virt-manager. It is often easier to just use RDP for basic office applications.
There's short form podcasts that work in 10-20 minute segments too, The Memory Palace is one that I'm subscribed to.

But I totally agree it's nice to not multitask and just let your mind wander sometimes.
Looking at the talk, how is this different from markojs?
Because there's a risk of being seen as "not a team-player" and a fear of losing your job as a result of it, social pressure is real in tech culture, if all developers refused to take part in the rat-race and left the office at 6 on Friday the management would have no other choice than to deal with it by _managing_ the human ressources differently, or increasing the count of developers which I will agree: is not easy when it comes to software development.

Social pressure, and the lack of interest (or even contempt) the developers have when it comes to unions mostly explains why such abuse is still seen as normal in the industry.

There's no way to eradicate biometric tech, there's no way law enforcement will stop using biometrics, the only thing we can ask for it more transperency how the biometric data is used, processed and stored. No hidden fingerprinting, no unknown-quality proprietary software and hardware, extra-strict quality and integrity controls. The genie is out of the bottle and we can only hope not to wish for the genie not to maliciously comply with our wishes.
Some print media podcast productions are super amateurish production wise. You can hear it's two persons in a tiny conference room with no sound proofing (so it's really echoey) and a third person phoning in so you can barely hear what they are saying. No editing whatsoever. Maybe recorded with a cell phone?

They should get a summer trainee who has been in a band, or even watch a youtube video on how to do podcasts. It should be easy to set up a normal microphone and put some foam rubber on the wall. And please, do get all the people in the same room!

But the content can actually be good - ie some enthusiastic reporters actually know widely about their subject and can discuss it in an interesting way. Vi Hart of youtube fame was invited to a journalist conference and was saying just the same - that we need good quality journalism and content should be front and center - and stop with the gimmicks and forced video features.
Some real stinkers as well (although some ok ones).

My guess is that Uber will be the poster child that kills this IPO season or at least comes to define it.
This is such a wonderful piece. Thank you for sharing.
Do you have this problem with speaking to people in real life too? Podcasts aren't meant to be an information dump, it's about the interactions between the hosts.
This is security 101 - reduce the attack surface.
> Seems odd to praise the BSDs for developing everything in a single repo but faulting systemd for the same approach.

I think it is more accurate to say that the (supposed) problem with systemd's approach is actually tight coupling as opposed to a single repo.

OpenSSH, OpenSMTP, OpenBGPD, LibreSSL, Mandoc, the recent Unwind, etc, may all be in the same repo, but none depending on each other. Try taking systemd-resolved (or journald) and running it on its own.

If the various systemd "components" were actual components that could be swapped out for something else there would be fewer complains IMHO.

systemd-as-init-replacement is/was fine. systemd-as-kitchen-sink is where things went sideways.

4a. Acknowledge that some companies have too many "lucky streaks" for them to be "lucky streaks" (e.g. Pixar, Valve, Nintendo, etc.). Attempt to build a work environment conducive to great creative work such that if there's any way to make this kind of success repeatable, at least we're putting the chances on our side.
I don't see the discipline you refer to. There's no description of the questions, how people were directed to the forms, or even if the survey was anonymous. We don't know if people took the survey after reading a negative story about the 737 MAX, or whether they were truthful about the demographic information they were asked to provide.

For the CBC or Business Insider to conclude the poll "suggested 53 per cent of American adults never want to fly on a 737 Max" is a very irresponsible claim, in my opinion.
I'm a new developer (an intern, actually). I just started writing a system that requires a couple secret strings. Currently I just have them as constants with my code, with the idea that I'll figure out something to do with them once I make sure everything is working.

What should I do with those secrets though? I'm not sure how to store them securely. So far I've been considering putting them in the server configuration so they can be read from environment variables, but that seems inconvenient for me and other developers and also not that much more secure.
I didn't praise them for that. It's more that I don't like the systemd way of making everything systemd. The difference is that the stuff openbsd develops is largely standalone applications, whereas systemd wants to take over the world and replace everything.

This makes it very hard to tweak a system, and I would again bring up the logging issue. Systemd-journald stores files in binary format, which is a pain. I was working on something where I accidentally bricked the system (VM, thankfully) due to configuring some in-depth security stuff. I mounted the disk and tried to read off the log, but couldn't. It's also a pain to replace it, and non-systemd alternatives are becoming increasingly poorly supported.

Systemd wants to take over temporary files, journaling, and much, much more. Many of the implementations are imperfect. That's fine; I understand it's hard to get that much right. Which is why I wish they made it easier to replace systemd components or didn't use it.

The init itself (units etc.) is good, and I actually like it. I just wish they got that polished, then made another, separate project if they thought they could do another piece better.
...Like a scene out of the movie “Minority Report,”algorithms analyze security-camera footage and alert staff about potential thieves via a smartphone app. The goal is prevention; if the target is approached and asked if they need help, there’s a good chance the theft never happens.

I discovered this personally when writing some bitcoin code.

I got to a stage where I wanted to test my code all the way to the BTC blockchain. I figured I'd stick in the randomizing seed later, and just make sure I could talk to the blockchain. To my surprise, every time I made a transaction I'd see another one on the explorer sites, emptying my new address. I did it a couple of times thinking I'd coded something wrong or something like that.

MEh. People go to these meetings still. They still tweet. This information is all public. The "labor" that a journalist does is becoming a commodity
The FAA fucked its reputation in three days, but this was a VERY good thing. It was a completely compromised body for years, and their behavior on the 737 Max is what alerted the world and the public to this fact. If they had grounded immediately, they would have preserved their unearned reputation to the detriment of long term aviation safety.
Basically, we should fund PBS to BBC levels
I think you're oversimplifying the trade of journalism and massively underselling the value and importance of it.

WP isn't "the elites". They're journalists. They have a trade, which is on a completely different plane and set of standards than a random blog.
> Give bonuses to my employees, who are working their tails off, to prevent resentment. Especially in the over-worked video game industry.

Hah.

I've know a few people on break-away titles(on the level of fortnight for an era) in my time in that industry. In most of those cases the employer or publisher had slipped in some sort of cap in royalties on a per-employee basis. So while their % cut of royalties was in the 7-figures they never saw anything above 6-figures.

Kudos on you for thinking this way but I'd be surprised if most of the people working on Fortnight are seeing more than mid FAANG compensation.

As far as I know, it is an explicitly stated goal of the systemd project to provide an integrated (compared to whatever each distribution assembled together to provide one) base system on top of the Linux kernel with the intent of making the best use of the features provided by the kernel.

It seems to me that Lennart looked at the tightly integrated base system + kernel approach of the BSDs and decided he wanted that for Linux too (in addition to whatever other influences he had), and then he made it happen.

I don't understand how. Aren't you suppose to study logic to be a a judge ? Surely laws and argumentation are a central topic, and they all require a brain. How somebody unable to understand simple concept like probabilities can be judge ?
Like that big auto companies taking electric seriously
Because it supports how they feel, this is pretty much how the liking works in general.
"What is super cool about Tesla is their laser sharp focus on creating a good electric vehicle. From the autonomy announcement and then this one, they are creating tools purpose built for cars, like new chips for self driving, battery tech etc."

That's interesting that you cite that because I wish that Tesla would just focus on electric cars.

Instead I see them wasting all manner of time, energy and goodwill on autonomous driving which is not necessarily related to EVs in any way. In fact, I worry that in the long run, Tesla will be done in by autonomous driving in spite of their great vehicles.

You should compare VirtualBox to virt-manager or GNOME Boxes, not QEMU, just like you shouldn't compare Visual Studio to gcc.

Podcasts are radio on demand. They offer all the variety that radio does, or did, and more. They can offer the quality of a good commercial radio show, or the quality of a rotting potato, or anything in between. It’s up to you to find something you like. There’s so much out there that there is probably something you’ll like.

So many of these comments talk as though “podcast” implies news or commentary and that’s it. Did I stumble into an alternate universe? I know those exist (news and commentary podcasts exist, that is), but there’s so much more. The closest I get are news-related comedy shows like Wait Wait or the BBC’s Now Show. I’m always on the lookout for the next episode of Welcome to Night Vale, and on the rare occasions that there’s a new Hardcore History, it’s a real treat. If I run out of something new, I love to listen to an episode or two of the old Dragnet radio series and get immersed in 1950’s Los Angeles.

Podcasts are inferior to text or video? That’s like saying that cheese is inferior to the Central Limit Theorem. The comparison doesn’t even make sense.

I basically can’t listen to podcasts without something physical to do. If I’m idle and trying to listen, I’ll start reading something at the same time and miss half the show. But while I’m out for a walk or doing yard work or cooking or on a long drive? They’re the best! Text or video aren’t sensible there. The only competition would be radio (or, ugh, my own thoughts), where the comparison is just like the comparison between live TV and video on demand.
Thanks for taking the time to write down your thoughts! What are some of the use cases where you find the interactive window superior to Jupyter? Do you use Jupyter as a complement or a replacement to VS Code?

Sorry about the annoying behavior! Some of this is clearly our fault, and I've asked the team to come by and respond to this. I've also added this to the list of things to chat with the VS Code team about as well.

Disclaimer: I originally came up with the idea for the interactive window based on the design constraints of VS Code, but the team that is currently working on this deserves all the credit for building and extending the original idea.
Very few vehicles are going to dealers for repairs at all. Most appointments are for maintenance. Oil changes, transmission fluid replacement, coolant flushes, etc. Teslas need less of this sort of stuff.

Sounds like a sweeping statement. Not sure your example of aadhar is relevant. Everyone needs to have some form of ID so they can be represented in "a database".

My reply was in the context of the new mass surveillance equipment referred to in the article.
you're ignoring the audience and the platform. The audience is people whose only computing device is the Raspberry Pi. Compiling a Qt app on most of the rpi models would take forever. The lower-end models are pretty resource constrained. Most of the rpi software is written in GTK, so it's a primer on using the desktop software toolkit that is used to make the applications that the user is using.
Nasty consequences could still ensue.
