What's more mind-boggling to me is all these thousands of scientists running around looking at the extreme oddity of multi-dimensional string theory, and nobody bothered to check if the cosmological constant is actually real.

It seems like physics is really being held back by perverse incentives.

And of course my pocket view that string theory will turn out to be the single largest waste of brilliant human minds in history.
As mentioned by the article that's already the default behaviour of getrandom() and the BSDs have symlinked /dev/random to /dev/urandom for a long time already.

I think this is a change for the best, in particular this bit sounds completely true to my ears:

> Theodore Y. Ts'o, who is the maintainer of the Linux random-number subsystem, appears to have changed his mind along the way about the need for a blocking pool. He said that removing that pool would effectively get rid of the idea that Linux has a true random-number generator (TRNG), which "is not insane; this is what the *BSD's have always done". He, too, is concerned that providing a TRNG mechanism will just serve as an attractant for application developers. He also thinks that it is not really possible to guarantee a TRNG in the kernel, given all of the different types of hardware supported by Linux. Even making the facility only available to root will not solve the problem: Application programmers would give instructions requiring that their application be installed as root to be more secure, "because that way you can get access the _really_ good random numbers".

The number of time I've had to deal with security-related software and scripts who insisted in sampling /dev/random and stalling for minutes at a time...
The point for doing it as a macro is to be generic over types. In C++ you would do a template function, but no real option in C.

Setting aside the genetic manipulation aspect for a moment, if all retail employees woke up tomorrow inexplicably but genuinely excited to work in retail, that would seem to be a positive for them, and probably society in general as people interact with people who are genuinely (if inexplicably) happy about what they're doing.
You can keep them for yourself (can make further research easier), release them as 0days (not every vulnerability can be used by attackers so sometimes full disclosure isn't a bad idea. an example would be bootchain bugs, they can't be used remotely), release them as jailbreaks, sell them to someone (you can verify they won't be used for malicious purposes; you could sell them to another researcher for example which can use them to make their research easier)

If you expect RDRAND to change its behavior to be nefarious, also expect ADD and MUL to do the same. The RDRAND conspiracy theory is bizarre because underneath lies a core belief that a malicious entity would go so far as to insert a backdoor, but put it strictly in a simple and easily avoidable place? So they're malicious entities, but can only touch certain instructions?

Malicious entities don't play by made up rules. RDRAND being a convenient scapegoat seems like exactly the thing they'd want, too.
Asymptotes. Sometimes it turns out we can solve a particular problem so comprehensively that "solve this problem better" is never a reasonable step. You can try it anyway, of course, but you're unlikely to get acknowledgement much less praise.

The answer to "Why doesn't my music sound as good as I wanted?" isn't going to be "CD's 44.1kHz and 16-bit PCM isn't enough". It might be "This cable has been chewed by a dog" or "These speakers you got with a cheap MIDI system in your student dorm are garbage" or even "the earbuds you're wearing don't fit properly" but it won't be the 44.1kHz 16-bit PCM.

Likewise, it is plausible that Git is done technology-wise. That doesn't mean there won't be refirements to how it's used, recommended branching strategies, auto-complete, or even some low-level stuff like fixing the hash algorithm - but the core technology is done.

> That's where the effort comes in. Those false positives are removed by adding annotations or changing code.

With the former you lose all guarantees and fall back to a safe/unsafe duality, with the latter you need to rethink how your code works to comply yo the analyzer's mindset: in the end it's pretty much like Rust, but in an ad-hoc way, much less ergonomic.

> I said they require relatively little effort, because it's definitely less effort than a rewrite in Rust.

This is a ridiculous way to save your argument. You are well aware that this is not what “relatively easy” means.

It is comparatively easier to deploy such tools than to rewrite a whole project in Rust, but the payoff is also lower in the long run (Rust offers more than zero-UB), so we might get to a point (when tooling[1] and hiring pool have reached a point where it becomes sustainable) where the latter option makes more sense for most people (unless C is mandatory, for portability reasons for instance).

The Fundamental Truth Behind Successful Development Practices
If recruiters are incentivized by a metric of how many candidates get through the process, why wouldn’t they do that without the consent of the hiring team?

External recruiters do that all of the time. I worked with the same recruiter when I was trying to get a job and when I was hiring through him. I knew he prepped candidates so I had to have a different set of interview questions and different coding interview tests (with an IDE on a computer).

I know of one company where the hiring manager had all of the candidates do a merge sort on the board. He used the same interview question for years. All of the recruiters knew what to prep their candidates for.
That's... oddly specific.

You do you, though.
I agree with your main point! I want to state that upfront so that you don't think I'm arguing about the current situation, apart from addressing specifics.

You will have to add some time to flying scenario. You have to arrive early to the airport to go through security (2 hours?), you have to wait for your luggage after landing (30 minutes?), and since airports are usually located outside of the city center you have to add travel time to and from the airport (45 minutes in each direction?). In my example that's an extra 4 hours added to the 2 hours time flying.

It's still a lot less than going by train, but with train you get the convenience of being able to run onto the platform 2 minutes before departure, you end up in the city center, you pick up your luggage and leave, and you usually have more space which makes it easier to work on the train if needed.

Also, flying is extremely subsidized and tax-exempt. I just read articles (in Swedish, so I don't know if anyone wants links) claiming that air tickets should be between 50% and 95% more expensive if they had to carry their own costs, if there was a tax on airplane fuel, and so on. So the price for air tickets probably doesn't reflect their real costs, and obviously doesn't take the environmental effect into account.

But even adding the extra time and extra cost, it would still be faster and cheaper to fly than to take the train, which is unfortunate from an environmental perspective. I wish we had faster trains, and a lot more overnight trains so that you could start your travel in the evening and wake up in a new city. It wouldn't help with a 40 hour trip, because it would still be two nights with one full day on the train.

This might work for people who can work remotely on the train, but not for everyone. Start you journey on Thursday night, work Friday on the train, and arrive Saturday morning at the destination. Someone I know did this recently while traveling to a conference, and the company obviously paid for the tickets. This doesn't help when visiting family, but for work travel, train could be an option.

I have an airplane interested colleague and I asked him about environmental fuels. He said that aviation biofuel already exists, and it's just a question of adoption and scale. A carbon dioxide tax might push air companies towards biofuel, or you could have the option of green biofuel departures and let the customers decide if they think it's worth the extra cost. I'm sure my train-traveling conference goer would consider that option if it was available.

As I said, I agree with your main point that if you just look at price and travel time today, the less environmentally friendly option makes more sense. It would make more sense if the slower option was also much, much cheaper than flying, because that would encourage more people to use that option.

It's funny when people use jungle as an example to make this argument. Cooperation might be even more important than competition in an actual jungle.
Well, as long as Hugo remains a static site generator, it won't be able to support these features "out of the box". E.g. comments are simply not possible just with HTML + JS, so you'll either have to integrate a third-party service (Disqus, Staticman etc.), or move away from the "static site" concept.

But that doesn’t make sense. Here space expands n.
Go a distance d away and now you have nd! So if we were to integrate the summation of nd!+V (velocity vector) Spaces, wouldn’t the relationship not be linear? You have an infinite amount of points between A and B. Each point expands at v. Each time point pk+1 is created you are introducing a new expansion that will then add as many expansions as are vector / dimensions at play.

I know my maths is not very accurate and maybe you can help correct my understanding. It just seems adding up each point that creates even more expanding points would never be a linear function.
Except individual will lose to groups that cooperate, so even if the world is competitive, there is an incentive for collaboration and equality.

The "fork" concept is not native to neither Subversion nor git.

You are probably thinking of branches and tags, and those are used similarly in both systems. They are a bit more convenient in git since they are created in constant as opposed to linear time.

Copies in Subversion are only metadata. Since partial clones are native to the system, it is simple to present both branches and tags as file paths. It was likely considered an easy user interface. Everything is a file and all that. In comparison, git users must learn the git object naming scheme, otherwise things can end up very confusing should you have a directory and a branch with the same name.

I don't get your point. Should we assume there is no backdoor at all just because we can't predict all kind of backdoors that can be?

Being defensive against RDRAND is just one (relatively easy) way to defend oneself against a (relatively easy to implement) backdoor. Yes, this defense isn't perfect, because there can be other (more difficult to escape) backdoors, but that's not a compelling reason not to avoid the “easy” ones…

My rural experience (UK) may be different from what you're expecting if you're taking an americentric viewpoint. I had one neglectful parent who later married physically abusive step-parent.

EDIT: also some of your claims here are questionable. I don't believe that children in an average poor household experience abuse + drug usage. I knew plenty of poor children who had one parent, I knew some who had a drug user in the house and I definitely knew some who were abused but I didn't know a single person who ticked all of those boxes.
