Well, we have a strange case where functions are visible externally unless marked with static, which means they cannot be removed, but inside a module there’s a need for symbols to be PIE which makes the use of a GOT useful when functions cannot be inlined. FWIW, I feel that symbol interposing is usually a lot more reliable when you’re using for inter-library calls rather than intra- library calls.
It sounds like one of the author's main questions is the valid time window for intrusion testing. They make much of the fact that the contract is apparently inconsistent in stating "6AM to 6PM mountain time" in one place and "day and evening" in another. To me, this doesn't sound inconsistent at all: six mountain time is seven central, which is clearly in the evening. I'm having a very hard time seeing the contradiction there.

I led my first from the ground up greenfield infrastructure + development project on Consul+Nomad+Fabio and I became a big Hashicorp fanboy then.

But, if I were in a cloud environment, I definitely wouldn’t use any of those products. As far as cloud, I only have experience with AWS, but there is nothing Consul+Nomad+Fabio would give me that I couldn’t do better with managed services. I’m sure GCP abd Azure are the same.

Whilst you're here, I must thank you for the wonderful advice in your article on that subject, which was posted in this place some years ago. If I were to distil it down to a single phrase I think it would be "present as if you're collecting a paper trail".

This was hugely helpful in helping me help my wife dispense with an egregious parking charge last year, and I feel it has put me in good stead to handle similar matters in the future.

I owe you a drink.

The study has a major flaw in that it ignores the grouping effect that makes self-driving cars & fleets completely different from chauffers. Shared usage will:
- most definitely happen in the case of "errand" like rides. The request to "pick up my shopping from Target" will be clubbed with 5-10 other similar requests and delivered at the same time.
- lead to single rides being a rarity, and at best a perk like "first / business class"
- bigger cars on the road with more seats, driving autonomously vs the nightmare equivalent of everyone having a chauffeur

If an app can harm your mobile operating system or can install malware it is a system vulnerability.

I disagree. That's exactly the authoritarian viewpoint that the article has. You can't --- or perhaps shouldn't --- try to stop all "bad things" from happening, because it will inevitably also stop some good things and it's a perfect excuse to take away freedom.
"A monstrous take"- seems a bit hyperbolic. We are on a pro-entrepreneurship site afterall. I'm not the above poster, so I don't know what the poster really means, but I would guess that sacrificing yourself to the collective when you fail means you become a Harvard Business School case study or something similar. Something new was attempted, lessons were learned.

I don't see the connection between leaders not want to have open ended meetings with thousands of people and being against whistleblowing... sorry.

Nothing wrong with leaders preferring more controlled medium where they can careful and clearly state what they are saying, or preferring such meetings with smaller groups of people in a smaller company. Especially because we're working with the assumption it will be leaked in a raw form otherwise.

Workers should be whistleblowing based on negative events, company projects, or misbehaviour which they have knowledge of and see in the workplace (which can be through other people at work). Which is quite different from rehashing some comment made during TGIF to reporters.

If we're going to villianize people for comments made in open-ended forums then it will defeat the purpose of the forum and make people extra cautious. Which makes them no different than PR-speak-riddled internal memos.

Windows NT (and as a result win2k, xp, 7, 8, and 10) has always had strict user and kernel space separation. Modern Windows also has separate 'integrity levels' within user space - for example, Chrome and Firefox run most of their functionality at 'Low' integrity to prevent compromised browser code from being used to exploit other processes. I'm not sure what the basis is for the claims you're making about the kernel. The idea that distinguishing between kernel and user code is Not Allowed is very confusing to me, how would you do that without running both user and kernel code at the same privilege level in a shared address space?

The CVE here literally has nothing to do with privilege separation or being unable to distinguish between user mode and kernel mode. It's this simple:

* Someone in user-space wanted to parse an executable to get information on it

* A syscall is exposed to parse an executable

* They used the syscall to parse the executable, and that code path had a bug in it which triggered a BSOD (since the failure was in kernel mode).

In the end, this is just "a syscall had a bug in it that caused a kernel crash, and a user-mode application issued the syscall on mouse-over".

I think another point that’s important to make is that startups are an industry.

I’ve had great experiences at small early stage companies but the draw of getting kids to drop out of college or glorifying “hustle” is all in the end to benefit investors and those who stand to potentially benefit with limited risk.

That said, I completely understand friends of mine who look at the lifestyle of a founder or entrepreneur with a big “no thanks to that”.

Yes, but now you have a cause.

Ever thought about attending law school? Or some other related course of action? You can stand up for the other people like you. You could be for them, what wasn't there for you.
I use Alexa to add to my grocery list over the course of the week. If I run out of an item (e.g. Use the last of the milk, run out of butter, notice I'm getting low on bread, etc.), I just tell Alexa to add it to the grocery list. It's faster than whipping out my phone to do it and it has made building out my grocery list more reliable. (Inevitably I would struggle to remember everything that I needed to get when I would wait to do it at the end of the week)
I use Siri mostly for more complicated reminders I don’t want to do manually like “remind me to do $x when I get in my car” (based on Bluetooth connecting to my car) or “remind me to do $y when I get home/work”.

I work out with only my cellular Apple Watch. If I need to send any long text, I’ll use voice dictation”.
A UNIX-style process spawning interface, like exec() or posix_spawn(), requires the kernel to have some awareness of the executable format so that it can create a process from an executable image. It doesn't have to support every feature of the format, though.

A model in which this happens in userspace is conceivable, but it'd be pretty weird. Besides, it introduces a chicken-and-egg problem -- if you need a process to launch a process, you need some sort of special case for init.
Software itself is not the primary product though. I argue that Open Source has paved the way for advertisement and services companies (traditionally non tech companies) to call themselves tech companies and gain an advantage in their respective spheres of buisness. Software has eaten the world, and now nobody is hungry. They do not care about core software or it's beauty. They don't care about hacking in true sense.

In that way, they are probably exploitive.
One Saturday I spent the one day of "in school suspension" I ever experienced during high school reading this book. (I was suspended for participating in "senior skip day", lol. "In school suspension" or "detention",... was kind of like what you see in The Breakfast Club, but much more boring, or at least it would have been, if you didn't have a good book to read to pass the time.)
I use GA all of the time. I usually have bluetooth headphones around my neck and use them constantly to set timers for reminders, directions in the car, and most usefully whenever I want a quick answer to something. It's really nice to be occupied cooking dinner still be able to get a quick answer to "what's backscatter radiation" or some other random thing when listening to an audio book, or thinking about, well, anything. In this respect GA is far superior to Alexa, which returns "I don't know that yet" 3 out of 5 times.
I think it aims to be more of a fiction like experience than your typical nonfiction. Some of the clever stuff is delightful, imo. Also, I learned about the unsolvability of the word problem for groups from that book.

But that's exactly the problem.

20-something's shouldn't be wasting their time on things that, with a mature person's wisdom, aren't worth risking their time on. Rather they're better off gaining experience so they have good judgment when they're 40-something.

And 40-something's can handle it with a family and mortgage, because they're not naive enough to think you need to live on ramen to make it big. No: they have connections, put together a team, raise capital like the professionals they are, and continue to pay themselves a salary that can support a family.

Having an appetite for risky things is dumb. Isn't there a quote somewhere about how successful businessmen don't take risks? They try to only do things that seem to be a sure bet, and try to only use other people's money.

What I really like about Siri is the geofencing capability. "Siri, remind me when I get home to text Daniel" (or something of that nature) This way the reminder is not tied to a particular time, but instead tied to a location that is more relevant or convenient to carry out the task.

This implies there are no other people for which a rideshare would be suitable in either direction at any given time. This seems, like an unreasonable way to predict how mass AV would work. Again, demand is asymmetrical, which means there are opportunities for aggregation and overlap, when talking about mass adoption to the point that "the majority of cars on the road will have zero occupants".

There's the issue with demand for AV availability (ie traffic), which can never be reduced to zero. This would incentivize better judgement than "I'll stagger the school and work times"

Logically, why would AVs be 1-4 occupant vehicles? Once you have AV, you have AV vans and buses, similar to airport shuttling.
Where should the OS's executable parser/loader be if not in the kernel? Are you proposing some sort of tiered bootstrapping scheme, where there's a baby loader that's used at boot to load an executable containing the Real Executable Loader, and that lives in a long-running single process with root permissions responsible for loading any and every dll or exe file ever touched on the entire system? I assume you'd issue requests to it via RPC or something, and it'd need to run on multiple threads so that loading executables wouldn't bottleneck. To get back info on the .exe file like the name of the author, you'd probably need to fire off an async request to the Executable Loader Service to ask it to load foo.exe, then fire another request to ask it to RPC the author name back to you, then after all that copying and RPC has happened you gotta send another call back over to free the loaded executable handle. Oh and I guess the executable loader broker service also needs to verify that the process asking for an executable to be loaded has permissions to access the file, since the I/O is being done out of process now, can't forget that. And it needs to make sure that it doesn't let handles leak if the client process crashes in the middle of manipulating the .exe information, otherwise the executable loader broker service could run out of memory and take down the whole system. Seems good.

Then you ask the broker to load this corrupt .exe file, and it crashes, and now your system (which hasn't bluescreened! hooray, we win!) can't run executables anymore. Under those circumstances, I would just take the OS down and generate a dump that someone can open up in a kernel debugger instead of letting it stumble along half-broken in a way that makes the problem hard to diagnose.

Syd Meade is also an interesting person to study for a book about envisioning the future. He designed a number of cars and is famous for Blade Runner. I talked with him & his key insight was that he always drew a car in a world. A car needs a world (context) in order to make sense of its design.

The fedora/etc problem has to do with the lack of uboot/edk2 and upstream kernel support. Once support lands in the appropriate repos you can expect fedora will enable it.

Agreed - a concrete example is the threading macros:

(defn calculate* []
(->> (range 10)
(filter odd? ,,,)
(map #(* % %) ,,,)
(reduce + ,,,)))

This is nominally a library as it can be implemented via the language primitives. But in practice this occupies the same space as Haskell's do-notation, and the learner cannot ignore it. The lack of special syntax becomes an implementation detail.

> ones that fail essentially sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the collective

Your wording is ironic. If they truly see it as a sacrifice, then urging people into sacrificing themselves would be a disservice. When framed that way, it does seem immoral.
I read that book, and I think that it is good. (I do think BlooP and FlooP can be reduced though; IF and comparisons and multiplications are not needed, since they can be implemented out of the other stuff.)
Yep. The book club at work is reading GEB. I had it at one time, but after trying to go through it, I destined it to "Author trying to play moral superiority" card, and I destined it to the donation bin.

I'm sure that it's a literary masterpiece, just like the emperor's new clothes are so beautiful.
It probably could increase quite a lot because more people might be willing to live far away and enjoy cheaper / more housing if it means that commuting won't be dead time. With self driving cars you could actually work during your commute. As you point out, a number of existing commuters might also transfer from train to car travel.
The foundations of modern science seem to be quite shaky...
A well reasoned rebuttal but it only works if people renting or timesharing vehicles for just single jobs. If things remain in their current ownership model (I buy a car and keep it in my driveway when not in use) their study holds merit.

The fleet prediction is indeed a game changer and should be prioritized over single ownership in order to curb VMT but it would be a large paradigm shift and those don't always go as planned.

Alteplase is vastly inferior to stents according to current algorithms. Unless there's a novel approach the revascularition that has occured in the past month I didn't hear about, I'm skeptical that this isn't some type of p hacking. I can't read the article because it's behind a paywall.
I guess that's the idea. Once a particular user reaches a certain density of articles from X paywalled publication per Y unit of time, they're inclined to pay for it to avoid missing out.

As much as I'm annoyed by paywalls like anyone else, it's not like physical newspapers are providing sufficient income anymore.

Though I think the only way paywalls will be truly viable is with a bundle subscription, something like Amazon Prime for News, where you pay a certain amount per month for access to all major news sites.

Though that's likely to only work if all the outlets can agree to work together on that and also get platforms like YouTube to implement paywalls on video content from said outlets too, so that the ~$13 you spend feels worthwhile for the sheer volume of content and freedom of access you get in return.

At least that's how it was for me with Prime. At one point, the benefits accumulated to such a degree that they became worth the monthly expense.

But I doubt I would've felt it was worth it if I had to pay multiple lesser subscriptions to different providers, even if they added up to the same $13 -- it just feels too complicated.

that sounds like wishful thinking to me. coordinating with other people is hard. and if the ride is free, why bother. also people want to stay independent and not have to share.

the option to share an uber or equivalent for example is already there. every time i used it the trip took longer than had i not shared. missed a train because of it once too.

so i doubt that sharing will happen as much as you think
