>After review, Javelin Incognito Browser, com.jerky.browser2, has been removed from Google Play because it violates our personal and sensitive information policy and section 4.3 of the Developer Distribution Agreement.

It sounds more like they think your VPN is spying on the users. Of course, there is zero chance of someone at Google actually talking to you to explain how you violate their policies and how you can fix it.
Sure it does, if a large chunk of the volunteers are in the US.

The division of the open source world into the “US part” and the “Chinese part” would be a roughly 50% cut in the efficiency of the FOSS ecosystem, and is on the table given the developments he describes.

Ah the IE memories!
You might be right -- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000... says

So, whoever sells ES/QS chips is selling the property of someone else without authorization to do so.
Fifty Years Ago We Landed on the Moon. Why Should We Care Now?
Certainly, that is a theoretical possibility.

Note that I'm not suggesting ignorance and passivity. I prefer this route: 1) get your house in order before you try to fix the world 2) start with small, achievable improvements 3) be just in your judgement.

> Someone who has committed crimes can and should still speak out if someone is committing something absolutely abhorrent in plain view instead of remaining silent.

Absolutely. Yet he may have to answer why his own abhorrent acts should be ignored, especially when they aren't from the distant past and he hasn't shown to be a changed man. The lion telling the tiger he should go vegetarian for moral reasons ...
Ask HN: Salary structure in FAANG and similar companies?
I'm a senior SWE in Southern Cali making ~150k (base of 135k + 10% annual bonus).

According to Linkedin the base salary for senior SWE's is 115k in the area where I live. Though after reading some posts on HN on the subject it seems that base salary comparison does not mean much in bigger tech companies. I've read some say mid-level engineer with base salary of 115K end up actually making around 230k total (double).

Two questions I have are

1) If I were to join FAANG, what salary should be negotiated? is it the base or the total, or both?

2) What would be the expected total $ at FAANG for a mid-level engineer in Southern Cali? Is the expected level the same as in the Bay Area or lower?
no. You don't get it. You literally have no rights with these unconstitutional cops. Wait until you personally experience this sort of thing, as you seem to think that the author "deserved" it.
The more I think about it, the more disgusted I am by your comment. I find it highly deliberately ignorant, as if you are directly ignoring the entire point of this story.
If a US citizen is not allowed into the USA, where could they possibly be deported to LOL?
Constitutional rights?
All this from an agency that sounds like something from the 3rd Reich, and created under Bush Jr.
Highly unconstitutional, and vested with impunity. Wrongful

There’s no reason not to have seen the flaws ( chief among them the minuscule sample size particularly for such a broad conclusion ) if one read the study critically. This gets at a symptom of our culture’s lack of understanding of how research works. That’s why one of the most powerful marketing techniques today is to merely state: ‘reasearch shows xyz’ with only a footnote referring to the underlying studies that no one will read, and then those that do will do so with specific predjudice rather than general skepticism. Those who work under the assumption you mention are making the same mistake of reading the headline and taking it as knowledge, usually because it supports some bias of theirs or some point they’d like to make one way or the other, just like those who are unnerved by the journal not publishing the replication study.
That makes me not trust them.. in fact it makes me anti-trust them.. (heh get it?)
Fair play for the dog fooding on Teams.

Simple solution on Grammarly - MS should buy the company. It’s a definite example of a tool to make SME’s more effective and I’d love to see it rolled into Office 365 rather than the current cost.
I think that you are confusing "being/doing wrong" and "violating some particular law". Laws can be arbitrary: in some countries, it is e.g. illegal to be gay, or profess some religions, etc.
I think most of their revenue is from their distributor's cut - even Valve can't sell $3.5 billion worth of TF2 hats.

Because when the two lines of code are the wrong thing and nobody notices the problem with them for five weeks, you're going to spend much much more than that overhead tracking it back down and fixing the original issue properly.
This is the same browser that used to scrape users' email addresses and automatically sign them up to a mailing list promoting the developer's other products that was impossible to unsubscribe from[1].

I strongly suspect this involves data collection from the built in VPN and has nothing to do with adblocking given how many other browsers with adblock functionality are on the Play Store.

I don’t see paywalls as bad as ads. I hate them, but I understand the publisher is simply trying to sell me access to their content in a honest way, similarly to a shopkeeper asking me to pay for groceries. I hate them not because they’re paywalls per-se, but because they are asking for too much money (I don’t read any of these paywalled publications often enough to warrant a subscription, and they don’t allow me to pay per-article). Also, a lot of paywalled websites still have tons of tracking attached to them (in addition to already having your details for billing purposes) which means despite paying you still have the privacy liabilities that ads have.

Also remember that NYTimes & Bloomberg produce & own the content they publish. Stack Exchange do not. Even setting aside opinions about the paywalls, I think it would be very unethical to put the content users have contributed for free behind a paywall.

What I hate even more is “login walls” that aren’t even paywalls, which means they don’t make you login to make you pay, they instead want even more of your personal data (to use later for ads, or resell to someone who’ll inevitably use it for ads).

Andrei Alexandrescu had a great talk[0] on allocators and this convinced me that if you really care about allocator performance[1] what you need is a tunable and composable system. The whole idea of how and when (runtime/compile-time) to choose the appropriate allocator is also interesting.

That would be ignoring the very deliberate and massive shift in behaviour from both CBP and Fatherland Security ushered in deliberately and noisily by Trump.
It's sufficient to have been an international traveler before Trump and since Trump to bear witness to the night & day difference, as well.
It's worse under Trump than even the worst excesses of the Bush Jr. time.

It IS politics as this "man" has staked his entire administration upon being mean and harsh and fighting a war with the entire world at once. Spare me.

This is actually very much possible, and will not cause much of a performance degradation (if any).

You can easily directly expose the underlying hardware to a container, and it is in fact very much possible to run games from a container.

And I say this as someone who ran games on NixOS inside an Ubuntu container as a workaround (because nix is pretty weird when it comes to dynamic linking).
Debatable, there's certainly lots of money to be made in finance software positions that are both incredibly lucrative and demanding.

Needs some selection editor, ability to view the scene nodes as a tree or other representation and make selections. I tried loading an obj of a face, with groups for the face parts, eyeballs, and inner mouth. I can really only change the view because I can only select one geometry group to manipulate, not all or a parent to multiple groups within the obj geometry. Selecting one part is sorta useless, unless one can select multiple for group operations.
I was being bootstrapped into the new project (pretty big distributed system) for 6 months since I went on call. But then my debugging skills skyrocketed, and I know it’s a little inconvenient to wake up at 5 am because of pager duty sad trombone sound, but I know it’s an investment on my part to become a better distributed systems engineer.
The differentiation of a fractional power (fraction less than 1.) involves a negative fractional power. 0 raised to some negative power involves dividing by zero. This gives you some kind of NAN in, e.g., vanilla languages such as Python. The "issue with automatic differentiation" is really an issue with dividing by zero. Graph x(1./3.). It's slope is vertical at zero.
I've wondered if a web server or proxy in something like Erlang would be ideal there, where there is little server-side penalty in dragging requests out progressively longer.

With the lightweight processes, the cost per should be very, very low, and basically make it easier to Turing tarpit the scammers.

I don't get what you're talking about. I'm a Machine Learning engineers and I find his work one of the best being conducted on the topic. You can say he's snob or inaccessible, but for me Pasquinelli is in the top 1% of the tech critique, especially in the theoretical part.

Also he's not even a native speaker and I don't find his way writing very compelling. Quite the contrary.

A majority of Windows games can be played more or less flawlessly at near native performance on Linux via Steam's Wine-based Proton compatibility layer. This will break with the removal of 32-bit libraries in Ubuntu.

"Grandpa Gibson has resumed his favorite spot at a patio table outside our bakery. Before the protests, his time there was filled by conversations with passersby. But now, he often sits alone."

Very sad. I once read something that paraphrased to: campus activism for young people can be socially sanctioned sadism. A way to let hate and emotions flow at someone and let any decency go out of the window because the target deserves no empathy or dignity. They must be annihilated.

Out of curiosity (not trying to be snarky here, I really want to know), what should be offered by Desjardins? I mean, no amount of money can prevent identity theft and I do not see hundreds of ways to reduce the risks -- especially ways that do not involve Equifax or Transunion...

Realistically, apart from the obvious "this shouldn't have happened in the first place", what more could they be doing?

The movies seem to do well in China. Endgame well enough to break box office records there, and according to this site at least[0] the other Captain America movies didn't exactly bomb.

Those languages where the tensor/array is the fundamental unit: such as the APL family. J and K have optimized builds using AVX.
I'm fairly libertarian, but I have to agree. No system does everything, and that clearly includes the market. It's almost a Godel-style limitation; no system can do everything. The market can do a lot, but it can't do everything. Ergo, you need a system to do what it can't. Insuring attention to things like security is clearly one of those things.
Linux aficionados keep giving Android example.

The Linux kernel isn't exposed to app developers, only OEMs writing drivers.

Google could switch it for something else tomorrow and beyond Google itself and the driver writers, no else would notice.

Same applies to ChromeOS.

As for Apple platforms, with each release POSIX APIs become less relevant with Objective-C/Swift/C++ replacements for them.

So it is pretty much a pyrrhic victory.
How to make Redux more concise
I am in awe, comrade, and from your inspiring example of self-sacrifice I hope to not only be motivated, but to spread that motivation to friends and family, all for the sake of the Mother Earth.

It may interest you to know that my humble family, though modest in our contributions at best, strive to recycle all food waste, paper waste, and bodily waste (like hair from hair brushes and drains, finger nail clippings, and any oral effluvia) in our family compost pile. This takes strain off of our dear nation's infrastructure as well as returning to the Mother Earth what was taken from her. My wife is often reluctant to do her duty, but I always remind her that we are in the wrong for consuming and if we don't make sacrifices now, the future of whoever lives on this land after we die out might not be as abundant as our reality was before we sacrificed it for imposed guilt.

Continue on in your radical struggle, comrade, and when the time comes to name the traitors, please remember me favorably.
Yep, you never know what logs you need until you need it. If there’s an economical factor coming into play (because proper telemetry will cost a noticeable amount of money), you can always choose to sample the more verbose logs.

This is kind of the same reason 16-bit installers were a thing for NT software. In the mid 90s when NT ran on four different processor architectures all of the non-x86 platforms had emulation for 16-bit x86. So MS recommended that you bootstrap your install with a 16-bit process that checked it was running on a 32-bit platform (i.e. not 16-bit Windows) and then launched the appropriate 32-bit installer for the CPU.

> Think of all the different SIMD etc. extensions the average Intel CPU

Most programmers don't care whether a CPU has AVX512 support. Most programmers will use a library or an OS service that'll abstract that away and pick a certain code path appropriate to the running CPU.

I don't think a human being can get a full understanding of a modern x86 without major brain surgery that is not yet available.
The important thing about all this is to measure perf on realistic workloads before and after. I don't really believe in allocators that have "excellent performance" on everything.
It’s not a question or whether they deserved it or not. When dealing with people, things generally go better if one does so respectfully, regardless of what kind of power they have or whether it is legitimate or not.

The converse - that it should be fine to be disrespectful to people who hold state backed power makes no sense that I can see - that seems to be a dehumanizing act with no apparent benefit.

The ATC systems required would be prohibitive, rest in peace any birds that fly into\through the beam, maintenance of the towers, and emitter tracking would all be huge problems.

Also, where/how is all that electricity getting generated/transmitted to the emitter, and what complications does that introduce? What about environmental conditions? How does that effect the efficiency? Does a storm front blowing through suddenly make regular ICE planes a better idea again?

Oh, yeah, don't forget the security aspect. Those emitters are more than 'interesting' enough to be weaponized in the wrong hands.

I mean, beamed power sounds cool and all, but you actually have to take into account a heck of a lot of variables first.
Mastery has been an incredible and incredibly humbling journey.

I'm not so bold as to propose I'm a master yet, but I've definitely hit a patch of "these problems are plaguing the industry and lots of smarter people have not managed to fully solve them yet."

What's been fascinating is I now have sufficient perspective to have thoughts and hypothesis of how to approach solving them, but the experience to have a sense of where I'll likely hit walls.

In the case of business it gets interesting because in many cases, if these problems have been solved, there's vested interests in making sure nobody else finds out how you did it, so these may actually be solved by some companies already and I'll never know.
The financial markets are for businesses, not people.

Just a general question in regards to using memory allocators, in the consideration of a C only application.

The problems I encounter with allocator and heap manager are almost never solved by these types of frameworks. These problems include:

1. Improper usage of the memory returned that contradict implementation.
2. Pool allocators that don't have separation between individual blocks (performance reasons).
3. Specifying the lifetime of the memory to a thread or until specific events happen.
4. Difficult to diagnose corruption, with any tool available.

Here's a specific scenario I deal with very often:
There are N persistent worker threads. These worker threads have their own pool of memory, and prior to getting work we know this pool is clean. After the work is finished and before more work is recieved the memory is cleaned. Any excess requested memory is returned to the global-pool, and any memory that is "unmanaged" is dealt with properly.

This means that people can do whatever heap management call you use (void * obtainMemory(size_t);) in the scope of business logic without having to worry about infrastructure concerns.

Having a faster malloc/calloc doesn't benefit me as much as making the usage of memory easier, and the understanding of what happens easier.
I agree that Trump has influence on CBP, but it's still true that warrantless searches of laptops and phones predate Trump (and Obama). It's not just the US either, I had my laptop searched returning to Canada once. I get that it's in the name of security, but the violation of privacy without any evidence to warrant it, is indecent and dehumanizing.

One difference though, Canadian Customs didn't say I wouldn't be allowed to enter the country (I am a Canadian citizen after all). They just said my laptop wouldn't be allowed to enter. I suspect the same is true for the author. Even if they said he wouldn't be allowed to enter, I don't believe that's consistent with US law.
It's been a few years since I wrote one but at least back then windows installers were an amazing mess. We used Wix as an abstraction on top of the underlying libraries (which at the time were still win32, not sure what's happened since).

Even if it’s incompetence you can’t get better if you never realize you made a mistake.
