Enterprise security is typically B2B with annual contracts in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars; most any company dealing with any kind of PII requires every employee workstation/laptop to have a security product installed with periodic scans, often daily, and then an audit trail a mile long.

Vs. consumer security, I am guessing, Windows has a built in virus scanner now that's pretty good, and also free; LifeLock is a sort of credit freeze/identity theft monitoring service... a product marketed directly to consumers, but also as a pack-in offering that credit card companies are starting to offer to customers for free, especially as part of settlements due to personal information breach legal settlements. Different market/scope.
Unfortunately using AVX512 instructions only gets a speedup in very specific situations and for many real world use cases it actually underperforms due to oddities of scaling and switching delays. Profiling for more than a few milliseconds is one place you see phantom gains, so take care not to be deceived.

TurboBase64 runs at 3-4 GB/s. The authors' work runs at over 40 GB/s.

Not to say that Turbobase64 isn't impressive, but it's not at all the same level of performance.
Not only it is just a standard approach, it even misses a relatively common optimization for base64 decoding: instead of computing `(lut[a] << 6) | lut[b]` etc., one can precompute `lut6[x] = lut[x] << 6` and compute `lut6[a] | lut[b]` to avoid shifting. This optimization is famously used by Nick Galbreath's MODP_B64 decoder, which is used by Chromium [1] and turns out to be the most performant non-SIMD decoder according to Lemire et al. [2]

The upside to this complaint is that it should be "fairly easy" to test. Though you probably need someone to obtain some systems from a plane currently in operation.

But if the fault rate is 1/4 of the systems, you probably don't need many samples.
Why do they say then "We use the SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) instruction set AVX-512 available on commodity processors" ?
I totally agree. A specific example I found insulting was Portland, OR. He uses it as an example for his argument, but the reality is that our LRT is still supported by a vastly larger bus network. I live a 15 minute walk / 5 minute drive to the nearest train station, but there are still at least 5 or 6 bus lines closer. Additionally, the bus network still seems well funded. Not only are busses relatively clean and modern, they also support all the latest mobile payment options like ApplePay and the iPhone’s new mobile card thingy that works with RFID just like the trains do.

The minimum viable product for a passenger plane startup is a newly FAA certified one, which is already a higher quality standard than how Boeing 737 MAX plane was certified.

A few years ago the police did something similar by running a honeypot site called Hansa [0]; they gained control of the site, but rather than shutting it down immediately, they quietly ran the site for a few months, making changes to it in the background. Then, they siezed the big darknet market at the time, Alphabay [1], which drove everyone on the site, dealers and users alike, onto Hansa.

Before the influx of users, they had modified the site to record a lot of data that a normal darknet market wouldn't. For example, instead of discarding photo metadata, it would extract it for law-enforcement use. They changed built-in PGP encryption software on the site, so that when people used it, it would first record the information entered before creating the message and sending it to the other user, which allowed them to get information like mailing addresses. Instead of hashing and salting passwords, they recorded them in plaintext, which allowed them to capture accounts on other markets when users had recycled usernames and passwords.

The operation, called Operation Bayonet [2], was complex enough that several different law enforcement agencies from Europe and the US were involved. The Dutch police, Interpol, the FBI and DEA etc. It was quite an interesting case.

Nothing you said is wrong, per se, but...

> Such bluffs are punished by the market, with the people calling the bluff getting the money (and people falsely calling a bluff losing their money if they turn out to be wrong).

I think this kind of wording (the market does this, not the individual actors) can be misleading. Look at this quote from the article:

> "Our total position by Black Wednesday had to be worth almost $10 billion. We planned to sell more than that. In fact, when Norman Lamont [the British finance minister] said just before the devaluation that he would borrow nearly $15 billion to defend sterling, we were amused because that was about how much we wanted to sell."

They weren't just placing bets on events outside their control. They deliberately created the situation where the UK couldn't borrow sufficient money to maintain the rate. The fall was arguably inevitable, but they caused it to happen at a time of their choosing, in a way that enriched themselves at the UK's enormous expense. Sure, the BoE folks should have yielded sooner, but they didn't, and the people paid for it while Soros profited. This isn't something I would be proud of.
Right but basically every CCE in California has cheaper rates than PG&E. So "more expensive" is very unlikely on power generation. It may be more expensive because PG&E decided to extract all of the cash and neglect maintenance, unlike other California investor-owned utilities (SoCal Edison, SDG&E). But that boat has already sailed.

OS distributions have package managers and package repositories that have maintainers who are mostly decoupled from the developers. So that takes care of the quality/security problems that arise in ecosystems like Node.js.

There is also C. The tooling and the "package manager for C++" would be expected to seamlessly work for C and be expected to be accepted and used by the C community.

(personally I use CMake + OS package manager)
There is no claim about memcpy. The memcpy is used as indication in the benchmark.
IIRC SDG&E said that they'd want to sell their grid if PG&E and SCE were sold to the state. They may just decide this is a good time to sell out and transfer the risks to the public.

A critcal point in that book is about profit margins. No one making 40% is interested in a new business making 20% even if it may eventually be 10x bigger. It’s seems risky until it’s too late.
You don't want to write unrelated code, you want to write orthogonal code.
Have they been? I don't know if they were anti-AirBnB protests on the streets, but their meatspace ads have been defaced in the past. At least on HN, AirBnB has been getting comparable levels of criticism to Uber, for roughly the same reason - they're burning down society for profit, piece by piece.
Very rarely actually.
I recommend the book: The pragmatic programmer. There's a section there explaining orthogonality by explaining a system that is not: a helicopter.

That example sticks with me.

This is fascinating. It reminds me of a line from Hamilton: "I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory". Lin-Manual Miranda has said that was the most auto biographical thing he's ever written and that he thinks his drive and positivity both come from that attitude.

I wonder if there's an easy way to replicate the exercise yourself. Perhaps every month write a letter to be read out at your funeral? One idea I had years ago but never did was to make a short video for my funeral every year where I shared my thoughts, fears and hopes and where I was in life. The idea was I could look back in future and see how far I'd come, but that it would also be useful exercise at the time.
The Swiss army is mostly based on myths. Yes, the army reserve does undergo regular training, but most of that is a joke and they would be nowhere near ready for actual attacks.

> you are not maintaining, but still using things like postgresql,nginx,redis, rabbitmq

I don't maintain them because they are written in either C or C++, which has many more practitioners, guidelines and tools to trust.

On the other hand, I can easily see people using postgres' extensions have to quickly make a patch to fix a bug or change a behavior, extensions being smaller.

The issue is that, eventually, you would like to patch, review or audit the extension. All of these operations will require you to find third-party Haskell developers, Haskell auditors, Haskell reviewers, who are rare in the job market, and therefore it represents a risk for your project.

If the core developers stop to maintain the extension, no one else might be available to maintain it, and now you have code debt and code that no one can fix
That's not the same thing at all. Different versions, sources, etc. Should they really be he job of the OS package manager even when statically linked?
I heard the same thing about Charleston from a European airliner that is buying boeings.

The project managers wished their airplane wouldn't be assembled there, because that causes a whole bunch of extra problems.

There were plenty of rumours going around of what was happening at that plant. The quality difference was definitely there, and I'm surprised not more airlines requested that. Maybe they did bit it was behind closed doors.

> in addition to fees that make all our products more expensive

There's a decent argument to be had that they make products cheaper.

What, you didn't think it was free to handle cash, did you? It takes time and effort to do that. So much time and effort that a lot of smaller places are going card-only here in the UK so they don't have to deal with cash.
Google's actions might be orders of magnitude less evil than Big Oil's (and I don't see why they chose AMP as their example over a more salient point). But Google also has orders of magnitude more influence over Google's decisions than they do big oil's. It looks like they're repenting for their lack of self control at home by pushing their moral standards onto others at no direct cost to themselves.

I'm just saying it feels incongruous to hear Googlers act moral about "big oil" while making their money maintaining humanity's largest surveillance system, ya know...?
They're technically not wrong.. just not available on many commodity processors.
One of the suggestions I keep making to prime ministers office is to open up lateral recruitment is government much more and deploy these people with mid management experience to tackle some of the issue in government delivery. Lot of these people have expertise in managing mid to large scale project, are far more professionally trained, experienced, with exposure to more developed economies. It will help Indian government a lot if it can leverage this talent pool effectively.
I don't think this is correct, as the try catch will only catch errors that happen while returning the promise, not awaiting it; you need to do this:

const result = await (async () => {
try {
return await funcThatReturnSomeType();
} catch (err) {
doSomethingWithErr(err);
}
})();
I used to like Twitter Fabric's docs. It was so straightforward it was practically copy-paste. Facebook does similar well with their APIs.

PHP has really good documentation, compared to say, JS. On the other extreme,

Android has the worst, so bad that the unofficial documentation is Stack Overflow and this: https://guides.codepath.com/android

Parse's has a few holes in it. But overall I like it because it highlights lesser known features like their many-to-many data structures and security ACL, and straight up tells you how to use them without being too wordy.

I do worry about it in the case of tobacco. I think the big push to ban nicotine vaping is driven by big tobacco, and politicians cashing in on the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement: it created really perverse incentives where states literally receive a portion of all tobacco sales, which can add up to a huge amount. Anything that reduces that is directly an attack on the state's budget.

“I immediately did what any professional IT/IS guy does”
This has been a long time coming. INFY and others like them have been slave-driving their staff with huge markups for eons. I’m glad the chickens are finally coming home to roost.

I’ve worked in wholesale finance for decades and seen how these guys are treated both on- and offshore by their employers. It’s frankly despicable.

Let’s hope the market in India finally pivots and smaller, more nimble shops take more and more market share.

That being said, I wonder how much of this is embedded in cultural norms that will not be easy to shake. For example: saying yes to your client’s every request, even if it’s stupid, is not something that comes easily, I suspect, if you’re ingrained to just say yes...
And hide from planes
I'm afraid that no innovation would come after that: there would be simply no incentive to improve the Internet as it would be, because eventually it would be "nationalised" so to say, and profit will max out for Internet companies.

I'm all for thinking of ways to tackle the issue with Facebook and Twitter's monopolies, which are a special form of one in the sense that the technology to build similar platforms is more or less open source, but the ability to gather together millions of people isn't.

But let's not kid ourselves and be led to unintended consequences out of it.

From the article:

"I immediately did what any professional IT/IS guy does: I began the lockdown. All associated devices get removed from the account," fidelisoris, who asked us to use their internet handle, recounted.

From me:

No, No, No, No, No - what any "professional IT/IS guy" would do is delete the account - if you have been compromised, anything short of scrapping it all and starting again is a fools errand.

If you have had a root kit on your windows machine, you use external boot disk to format and re-install, you don't remove it. If you are in a sensitive area you probably bin the computer.

If your x account is compromised, kill it.

Exactly. Small town grocery stores have significantly higher prices and lower selection than in bigger places. So it turns out that the people with cars only use the local grocery store for perishables/emergency shopping trips and do their grocery stock-up trips in bigger places.

The quote was about not sweating about the most efficient solution first, and instead focusing on getting it correct, because you can easily fall into the trap of optimising for the wrong thing before profiling and making bad trade-offs on complexity and maintainability.
