I think one of the big issues may be with high performance multi-threaded code. x86(I am including x64 in this designation) is a lot stronger memory model than ARM. This has two implications. First, x86 is a lot more tolerant of data races, and missing explicit memory fences. When you port server applications that have been running well on x86 to ARM, you may be in for some surprises as data races and missing fences now manifest as data corruption. The other implication is that on x86, the gap between a sequentially consistent memory order and a relaxed memory order is not that great. Thus, many programmers may use atomics with sequentially consistent memory order to reduce the complexity. On x86, this will generally yield decent performance. On ARM, that gap is much bigger and you are liable to have severe performance regressions.
It seems fatalities per 100 million VMT reached a minimum in 2014 (1.08) and has crept back since then [1] (to 1.19 in 2016, 1.13 in 2018), still not much above 2012 levels (1.14). I can only speculate that the decline has to do with more safer models on the road and then distracted drivers perhaps bumped things up very slightly again.

I think most drivers, at least those not always distracted, notice the prevalence of distracted drivers on the road - cars that drive normally and then, say, gradually slow down to well below the speed limit and the speed of traffic. Which is to say, considering how common they are, it's remarkable these drivers don't cause many more accidents - statistics altogether seem to say they don't (correct me if I'm missing something). A factor to consider is that the "not as dangerous as you think" quality of distracted drivers comes because they do drive slowly, slowing traffic and thereby reducing accident totals (years ago, the introduction of the 55 speed limit reduced traffic fatalities a lot, see same wikipedia article).

Basically, the distraction trends seems to have made driving more annoying but not that much more unsafe. Perhaps something still needs to be done but that something might just some warning bells when driver driving outside the norms.

This is true for most NOVA contractors. In 2010-2012, Accenture and KPMG was pretty new to Federal IT Auditing and most of their consultants had never done anything IT related in their lives.

It's ridiculous that accounting and tax firms like Arthur Andersen was able to rise out of Enron's scandal and were able to create catch-all IT divisions and win those contracts from the US government when they had no expertise.
> What skills are really developed as a management consultant?

Hard to answer because "management consultant "(MC) is really an umbrella term for a lot of different roles. One MC might gain quite a lot of experience analyzing the financials of mergers & acquisitions, and so they would develop those skills and be valuable to a company looking to acquire another. Another MC might specialize in projects doing market research for athletic clothes. A third might specialize in finding inefficient processes in a supply chain.

Outside of niche specializations like that, most MC firms (especially the 'elite' ones) work you really hard and expect you to be able to adapt very quickly to new types of projects. This requires a lot of dedication to your work (and willingness to sacrifice non-work obligations) and the ability to learn new things very quickly. If you survive that work for a few years, then, having something like McKinsey on your resume is more like a certification that you are willing to work hard and can learn quickly, which is obviously valued by a lot of companies.
In all kindness, let me ensure you that experience is rarely gained until your forties. Early on we may feel on top and hold important positions, but it is not the same thing as understanding the other side. To gain wisdom, not there yet, probably take another 20 years.
FWIW, the data doesn't really bear this out. Vehicle travel has been getting steadily safer in the US for decades. Obviously there are problems that need to be addressed, and those change over time, but the war is a long one and we're winning. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in...

That's not to say driving with a phone is safe, but it's not a crisis. We address it with the same tools we always have: law enforcement and regulation of safety technologies.

Decades ago, it used to be “no big deal” to drive drunk. Then, armed with facts and a big public awareness campaign, attitudes slowly changed. If you bragged about driving drunk, it was no longer cool; you were shamed by your friends, you were deemed a dangerous asshole. We need something like this again.
I wonder how harsh penalties would have to get before you'd achieve an acceptable level of compliance. Like, I'm not suggesting this is a good idea. But if you instated a nation-wide death penalty for texting and driving, and then actually executed a few people, compliance would likely follow soon after. People would be terrified to look at their phones while driving.

OK, that's probably too harsh (although viewed from a utilitarian lens, perhaps not?). What if the fine were like $10k, and were handed down liberally for first offenders?

None of this is going to happen of course. I suspect we'll be living with this problem until self-driving cars are ubiquitous. I'm just sort of morbidly curious what level of viciousness would be required to convince people to behave like responsible human beings.

I think a lot of this ability is selected-out or outright discouraged in a lot of environments.

If the new employee starts fixing broken things, they’re often crushed for stepping out of line.

And god help them if the problem becomes worse (caused by them or not) when it wasn’t their job to touch it.

New employee: why do we do X in Y way?

Veteran: because that’s the way we always did it

Reminds me of when I made my own way-finding signs for visitors. While my director loved it and wrote me a thank you card, that didn’t stop janitorial from ripping them down. While they were 100% helpful, they were 100% unapproved.

I still oil door hinges and clean some of the uncleaned areas myself. And fix other things that aren’t “my problem”, but it’s a fine line.
" the org itself is most likely biased to just doing things the way it's always been done."

This is powerful, and true, because often nobody has the power to change anything.

This is why 'funder led' companies can have an advantage, founders have that 'mythical status' that enables them to move the needle on projects. Of course this can be bad as well, but hopefully the bad ones fail early.

Even 'good companies' are full of cruft and bureaucracy - Google, Apple, MS, FB no exception. It seems the 'good companies' are able to move the pieces they need to move quickly enough to steer towards market needs, knowing large chunks of the company will be left behind.

Think of all the Apple apps that have only marginally changed in a decade, and how many zillions of devs are working on them.
It's a routing behavior that is valid for non-VPN interfaces but bogus for VPNs, and it's this intersection of routing behavior and expected VPN behavior where there is a gap. So it's not a particular VPN issue or even a routing bug, exactly. My hypothesis is that routing layers need to allow VPNs to register/reserve interface addresses as "I'm a VPN, drop bogons," and that then VPN software should use these APIs. But I'm no expert in either field, so take that with a huge grain of salt.

I'm going to go ahead and commit to saying it wasn't. I believe they are misinterpreting the findings of the National Transportation Safety Board. It sounds like, among other errors, they used inappropriate load parameters in the modeling software they were using. That's not the software's fault.

The reality is that despite the fact that we have decent software tools for structural design and analysis, they depend heavily on intelligent initialization of inputs from a human. While naively, that may sound like a software failing to non-civil/structural engineers, it would, IMO, be a nearly unsolvable problem to create software that can do it all for you.

For example, in this case, I believe one of the several failings that led to the collapse was related to inadequate structural analysis of construction staging. So the loading on the failed nodal connection was much greater during one phase of partial construction, and most of the analysis occured on the final, fully constructed design. (Though even in that state there were design failings.)

You can have a perfect model, but if you fail to actually use it correctly to assess for all the scenarios it won't help you.

I don't browse Amazon, but when I was ordering something their "Cyber Monday Deals" caught my eye. Oh, okay, I'll bite. Every single item under "Electronics" was an Amazon device. Really? Because, for example, $150 off an iPad Pro seems worth a mention (I bought one). Surely there was something that was a deal that didn't have Amazon's logo on it.

I know, I know, smack 'em on the nose. I don't really care about that so much as the fact that Amazon isn't dead to me just yet, but they're on life support and every little niggle such as this gets me closer to pulling the plug.
One upside of code increasingly being written in languages that are predominantly single threaded like Python/JS is that these issues do not matter as much.
Yep!

My setup is a bit weird now; I have some cases that holster the drives [0], with a low-wattage ATX power supply that exists solely to power the drives. I a bunch of sata male-to-female cables on the case [1], and then a bunch of USB3 to SATA adapters plugged into a couple USB3 hubs into my leader Jetson. I have ZFS On Linux set up on there, and have an NFS share set up on the ZFS mount.

I use Kubernetes to distribute my projects across the cluster, and use NFS for any kind of shared data. It works way better than one might think.

EDIT: Just a note, if you decide for some reason to copy my design, I'm flattered; make sure you either get an ATX power supply that's extremely low wattage or is smart enough to lower the wattage based on load. I made the mistake of taking a power supply out of an old gaming rig the first time I did this, and it ended up consistently using 600W all the time, leading to a hefty power bill one month. I was able to find a power supply that peaked at 200W on ebay for ten bucks, and seems to idle at around 50W, which is much more manageable.
I'm not a lawyer, but I've unfortunately been a defendant a few times. As for examples, I have only my own, but it's worked out well for me, since I've never been convicted of anything.

Anyone can walk into any courtroom at any time (in most cases), so it wouldn't be misinterpreted as stalking. In fact, there are people out there that go spend the day in the courtrooms for fun - just watching the cases unfold.

The gist is that you want a lawyer that is both known and liked by the state and the judge. They have a much better chance of negotiating on your behalf. You definitely don't want one that they don't like, and that is usually immediately apparent in the courtroom interactions.

> The analyst is really just a vehicle to deliver the expertise of the actually-experienced consultants and knowledgebase of the entire firm. The experienced consultants don't have the time to sit and write out the powerpoint deck, so instead they throw as much knowledge as they can at the analyst and the analyst is the one who synthesizes it into something digestable by the customer. Is it worth $50k/week? Fuck no. But it is at least worth recognizing that you are getting more expertise than a sole bachelor's degree.

How much do those more experienced analysts make per week? I would think $50k per week would be enough to buy me the undivided attention of _all_ of whatever team of people at the consultancy has the expertise I need.

it's more optimal when you're doing pipelining, for example adding two numbers to do the operation you start from the lowest byte and add them together and move up. With little endian bytes are already positioned in the order you want.

x86 architecture also was big on backward compatibility. You have registers that can be accessed as 8bit, 16bit, 32bit (and I believe 64bit) adding the extra bytes after similarly makes it easier, because the little significant bits are always in the same place.

Again, I don't have extensive understanding of hardware side, so I might be wrong.
Amazon Dodges Responsibility for Unsafe Products
To be the devil's advocate, what if those deals really were the best? What if Amazon sold those items at such a loss that no other deals could compare? (That's probably not the case, but just thinking hypothetically).

Also:

> That potential favoritism can come in varied forms... even right at checkout when an Amazon customer is ready to buy an item from a non-Amazon brand. This last tactic could be compared to a cashier in a physical store showing you a deal for the store’s own brand when you walk up to pay for a competitor’s product.

Would it really be considered anti-competitive if a brick and mortar store did that? I feel like I've had cashiers actually do that before, and I was grateful because usually it's a better deal on some generic stuff where I don't care what brand it actually is.
Heh very true, and that’s a big part of the reason I don’t ride anymore.
Is the answer, just say no. ?

Filestash: Self-hosted client for your data
I tried to switch over to DDG 6 months ago but wound up reverting to Google.

I sometimes end up browsing fora with poor search tools, and that is commonly when I use a search engine (that or if I'm fact checking stuff, but that's a different usecase). Duck Duck Go always ended up failing to get the results whereas Google managed to get the correct results.

I also have had similar negative experiences with DDG for searching stackoverflow. Google isn't ideal, but at least they do always end up getting me what I'm looking for. With DDG I oftentimes get completely unrelated results which just happen to match the keywords I was using.

Finally the image search would always invariably return porn on DuckDuckGo instead of things relating to the query I was looking for.
Always question what long term loss you are taking for these short term gains.
Or in short, the authentication premise of VPN-routed traffic can be violated by an attacker without knowing the authentication keys, due to some misalignment of (in some cases, valid) routing behavior and VPN integration.
I switched from Chrome back to Firefox some time ago and generally I'm happy with it.

Just this Firefox Lockwise stuff seems to be buggy. Every once in a while it disables automatic password fill-in. The security menu is also badly labled, it states something about asking if login data should be stored, but it's also resposible to fill it in after it was stored.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed response!

We see some unexplained drop at the tags screen, not sure what to do about this since the numbers are pretty low so far... hopefully we get featured somewhere and see some actual traffic.

While I'm on the subject of traffic, I feel an urge to share that running a campaign for such a site is a nightmare. Our ads keep getting rejected and the average cost-per-click is around $0.5usd. Alas, we're not too experienced with advertising.

I'll read more about buddypress (or similar, since our stack is mostly Javascript), but it seems interesting!

Regarding Pornhub, we hope they're chill about us embedding their content, after all it's still their iframe and they can place whatever ads they want there. If not we'll remove it immediately, after all there are many other sources of content.
I think driving an automatic might help but it's by no means necessary.

I don't know what the numbers are, but around Paris, where most cars are manual, there are a lot of people texting on their phones (I'll see at least several of them on my 5 km commute in the city traffic).
As others have noted, the logic is designed as such that it's always possible. It's a graph theory problem, although I don't know if it's coded that way or just a giant pile of if/else.

One interesting thing to note is that some of them have difficulty settings. Certain item dependency chains are more difficult than others, and the locations can be done such that it will always give you easy seeds or always give you hard seeds. Some of them are designed such that you'll always be required to do speedrun tech which are borderline exploits.
Amazon really emphasizes hiring and developing writing ability. I’m convinced it’s a major reason they’ve been so successful.

Even when driving a passenger vehicle I assume this. I've got dashcams recently and I honestly get YouTube-worthy footage on pretty much _every single drive_. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Its very different. A passenger has a stake in the safety of the vehicle and reacts to surroundings. They pause when the driver is entering a complicated intersection and sometimes remind the driver to look at the road.
They edited their comment to clarify that only strict mode ("2") prevents the attack, against IPv4.
How is this supposed to work? How will the packet destined to the WiFi IP address get to the Ethernet interface?

This works both ways. As a car driver, I try to give motorcyclists a nod to let them know I see them.

Apple might be able to implement some sort of "It seems as though you are traveling in a car, we have disabled texting and driving." but then that has the obvious issue of preventing passengers from texting.

If you were to embrace the problem, whats the safest way to let people text and drive while on their phone? Something that doesn't force them to look down off the road?

Hands free voice to text sucks.

When will Firefox support dithering in gradients?
As a cyclist I'm elevated above most drivers on the road. So I can see many distracted drivers who try to be more subtle about it. Distracted driving is a daily problem, but there's almost no enforcement of it.

I can recall one time where I talked to a driver stopped at a stoplight about how he wasn't paying attention and couldn't stay in his lane. I told him to put down the phone and watch the road. This driver tried to change the subject, acting outraged that before he passed me I left the bike lane for less than 10 seconds to pass another cyclist. I told him that's not illegal but he wasn't having any of it. Apparently I'm just as bad as he is, which makes his distracted driving okay. Except that what I did was legal and perfectly safe, yet what he did was illegal and rather dangerous.
Yes, but they are not working hard. Even if they had the runtime, they won't have apps because google won't give the access to the play store, so what is the point of the runtime?

I've seen 3 projects working on the runtime (in 3 different ways with different pros/cons).
The kernel internally routes it to the logical IP address. Since it's an internal address, the packet never goes down to the NIC.
I think the point is more like:

It's hard to imagine a recent college graduate understanding the machinations of corporate entities enough to give meaningful advice about how to run more "efficiently". It's a bit like when a SV company is promising to revolutionize farm equipment and the founders have no background in agriculture - weirder things have happened, sure, but you can see why people are a bit skeptical.

Yes, it's obviously a bit unfair because sometimes untainted eyes can be the most beneficial, but hopefully you can also see why there's a bit of skepticism.
I doubt that is relevant to the UK though.
This fails to consider the conflict of interest. The more 'commercialized' a site is, the more ad revenue they tend to bring in for google, so they have a perverse incentive to bring them traffic.
