Yeah. But your reply to pushpop just lost validity.

And you might at least consider whether the person who's wrong on the Internet might in fact be you.

And you might consider whether, even if you're right, you're also being counterproductive in how you're going about trying to persuade others. When someone raises a valid point against something you say, you don't acknowledge the point. Instead, you find something - anything - that you can quibble with in what they said. This makes you look like someone who wants to win the argument at any cost, rather than someone who wants to have a reasonable conversation. This makes some of us wonder how biased your interpretation of events is. That is, your hyper-argumentativeness makes you less persuasive*, rather than more.
Junior engineers probably aren't as appealing to FANGs. You have to train them, and teams built of senior engineers may not want to put the time into doing the training.

If you know which site you want to search, and its search feature is as decent as wikipedia’s, I suggest adding it as a search keyword. Saves me some time to type e.g. ”wk turtle” in the address bar instead of going through the front page or lazily searching via some third party search engine.
On the other hand, it does mean that effective ticket prices would now be more expensive for people who have service animals. While not necessarily malicious, it is a form of discrimination. Airlines don't charge overweight passengers extra for seatbelt extenders.

I think I found a bug: If you set all bits to 0 except the sign bit you get 0 when you should get -0. In IEEE floating point representation 0 and -0 is not the same. This is why:

f *= 0;

Is not the same operation as:

f = 0;

Since the former will retain the sign bit.
Same thing happened to me. I got a Toyota sequoia instead of a smaller car I reserved for a family trip down hwy 1.

There's a massive reason these misconfigurations shouldn't be felonies. Since such errors are so hard to avoid (no company has perfect practice), few sane people would be willing to work in any role that involved taking such responsibility, so a bunch of services would suddenly cease to exist, and the economic cost from the loss of those services could well be way greater than the cost from the occasional breach (which I've as of yet never seen anyone here try to quantify).

Ask HN: Dev vs. ops – how are network security changes applied responsibly?
I am a software developer at a largeish company that tends to lean hard enterprise. Every so often, network security tightens the network, firewall, or security settings and breaks some of my applications with no warning.

In the web world, if I had to make a breaking change to an API that’s out in the wild, or even just internal, I’d monitor the endpoint to see who’s using it, and then reach out to those people individually. However, for these network changes, it seems like patches are being put in without such due diligence. The result being some hours of pain every few weeks. And then I’m a grumpy pain in the ass to the network experts because they broke something that was previously working just fine.

My feeling is that it should be possible to monitor each potential change and provide a similar service - especially if the change isn’t patching a real security threat. I get that breaking changes probably happen more often when messing with network architecture and that slowing things down is a pain, but at the same time, I would like to be able to not have my software break willy nilly.

Am I being a diva, or is the network world really so different from the web world? Do network settings inherently require nothing much more than hope that things don’t break? Or are there some best practices that I can push for that makes life easier for everyone? A couple of google searches yielded nothing much, but my terms were likely wrong.

Much appreciation for anyone with some resources and/or insight into the modern world.

If you are not connected to me as a friend, and you are not a friend of one of my friends, I literally won't see your content.

Scuttlebutt is a distributed peer to peer network so we only gather content from other peers we connect to. Some of those peers are centralized "pubs" but functionally they're just another user (somewhat oversimplified). we ask our peers "hey do you have any info on person x whome i follow" and then follow that person's connections out one more hop.

so, if you are too many hops away from me I won't see you content.

If you ARE within range of me and you message me i will see it, BUT if you spam me I will block you and you'll stop seeing me, receiving my content, and receiving the content from any friend of mine whose content you got through me. You could get their content via another person/pub but I likely cut you off from something by blocking you. I will stop seeing your content completely because my client will stop asking for it.

Because blocks have a follow-on effect enough people blocking you will act like an immune system defense and cut you off from the main body of the network.

Bad actors are rapidly flushed from the system in my experience.
I think we need to start drawing a distinction between "backend" and "CRUD on top of a database". I've been full-stack for several years now, and I can assure you that the complexity of the non-CRUD parts of a live system generating significant economic value very often dwarfs anything you might deal with on a typical frontend.
That's an impressive work! It runs smoothly even for large cities.

I guess you cannot really fix it because it probably comes from the data you are using, but for Tokyo the default zoom is broken because a bunch of unrelated places is also displayed.

Do you think you could also include the railroads/subways? I think here it is a more relevant way of finding your path in the city rather than the roads and the result could be quite interesting.
All I'm saying is that it is evidence that the file was in some way malicious.
Junior engineers are very appealing to most big tech companies because there are lots of them and they need to hire lots of engineers. Also, the smartest engineers with zero years of experience are all looking for a job. The smartest engineers with n > 0 years are mostly happy where they are.

I skimmed the video, thanks for sharing. I think the argument you shared contains a logical fallacy. In its central example, a human being, with their degree of thoughts, feelings, intelligence and all, is transferred to an animal, and the animal is still subsequently labeled as an animal. An accurate representation of my view would, at the very least, label the new animal as one with human-level sentience.

I said humans are at the top of my ethical pyramid because humans are a proxy for “intelligent beings” on a planet with no other creatures that are even close in intelligence (with intelligence being defined as it is common understood, and calling that definition arbitrary or saying that it’s not commonly understood would further illustrate the point in my OP). In reality, intelligent beings are at the top of my ethical pyramid. If we could CRISPR a new species of cow that completely lacks sentience and is simply a substrate for nutrients, and its meat was identical to that of more sentient cows, I would prefer its meat. Alternatively, if we can create cell-cultured beef or artificial beef that tastes as good or better than typical beef, I would totally eat it, and much prefer it to the brain-dead cow, since the brain-dead cow is still a mirror of a being with non-zero sentience.

In my work life, I have a problem where I have to interface with a stringly typed API. For instance, characters 20-25 in a 400 byte string are a floating point number. No it's not a good API but I don't make decisions. So you need a six character float. "12" is wrong because it's two characters, also "12<four spaces>" is invalid. "1.2e01" is wrong compared to "12.000" because it has (many) more significant digits. ".00001" is wrong compared to "1.2e-5".

I don't know how to solve this problem. printf doesn't cut it. It simply can't specify an exact number of characters.

I remember when light rail was proposed. The thing that got me at the time was it was a single line and it went a very short distance (the goal was to have people not park in downtown if I remember because downtown Houston is a pain to park). After the first line was built the number of people who had traffic accidents with the light rail trains were staggering. The light rail even switches lanes from one side of the street to the other with cars having to stop for the train to cross. Downtown is where they aimed it but there wasn't much room to properly develop and design a line there. If they had developed/designed it to bring people into town from the suburbs it would have been better I think.

I appreciate the sentiment, but the prescription is extreme. The technologies mentioned beyond HTML: CSS and JavaScript (yes, even Javascript), can be used to enhance the presentation of the document, and more importantly can do so without altering the document itself (ie the HTML). We need to be encouraging better design and implementation practices, namely graceful decay, and can do so without sacrificing features that improve readability and accessibility, such as syntax highlighting or dark color scheme variants.

When I didn't have access to a car I did use the Metro bus in Houston. The place I was going to was about 5 mins by car (10 mins in traffic). The closest bus stop was about a mile's walk from my house. The actual bus ride was quick enough but there was usually a mile of walking to the front-door of the place I was going to. So, this turned into about a 30~45 minute commute. And I will agree that most of the bus riders are the poorer people of Houston (not all riders). I also can not count the number of times a bus just wasn't on time and I would walk to the next stop. I had even seen taxis come by and haggle with riders when the bus wasn't on time.
