I don't mean to engage in whataboutism, but the play had a line which said "hit them with slippers", it's not "sedition". It sure might be wrong, but not "Sedition".

When people started using the phrase "Stockholm Syndrome" with respect to git I took it as a sort of hyperbole. A rhetorical device.

But the more 'improvements' they make to it the more literal that accusation becomes in my head. And what's worse is that I've grown enough callouses now that my response is an eyeroll instead of pain. I use git all the time, but it's terrible and I need something that is better, not just sucks less. And apparently soon, because I don't know when that koolaid is going to start looking good but it's not long now.

Send help.
Do you know if nobody did a basic pentesting with metasploit or not, or some other security audit? Was that actually the root cause of the problem? From the actual article

"Such a test from DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency would have focused on security and not the performance issue that Wolf said was most likely responsible for the failure. Still, Wolf said this was a “concerning event” given the amount of scrutiny around elections security after Russians targeted the 2016 presidential election.

“We don’t see any malicious cyber activity going on,” Wolf said. “No one hacked into it -- so this is more of a stress or load issue as well as a reporting issue that we’re seeing in Iowa.”"

I think they had a buggy app collecting caucus votes and I see people claiming it's some kind of vast conspiracy without any evidence. With all the people (metaphorically) tripping over their d*s around the world, it seems odd what kind of coverage this is getting. Particularly since (referencing my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22239685) a much more egregious issue happened in the same state's caucuses 2012 (not to mention the 2016 NV Democratic party screw up). The reasonable conclusion is caucuses are a mess and should be scrapped (which both parties are gradually doing).
This did come to mind, hah.

Sure. I guess to me that feels like an implementation detail. I like Mozilla and I want them to exist so I give them money. If they stopped making Firefox, I would probably stop giving them money. But whether my money goes to Firefox development is up to them, they know their financial arrangements better than I do. I understand if you don't agree with that policy.
The Xbox One X specs are at [1]. It's basically a custom RX580 and custom Athlon 5370 sharing 12 GB of GDDR5. That gets you a bandwidth of more than 300 GB/s. The parent's mobile system 'only' has 4GB GDDR3 and 100 GB/s graphics memory bandwidth. Bandwidth and capacity will be key to buffer up the high-resolution tile images. You can get a desktop card with similar capacity for around $200, but it looks like you'd either going to need to be the 1%, have an old crypto card, or have a newer PC build.

What do you mean by "free speech" if not that which is protected by the first amendment? I have seen statements like "hate speech is not free speech" quite often (as opposed to "hate speech _should not be_ free speech"), so I get the impression it is common to argue the law does not already protect it.
I don't understand it, but I can eat the same thing at home for breakfast every day of every week for years and not get bored of it. If I ate at the same restaurant every morning, I'd be sick of it before the end of the week.
Python chose spaces a la PEP8 by the way.
I have done all of the above except the classical music. I find spending time to do meditation is more useful.

All of the above, I find cooking is an incredible skill that many people underestimate greatly.

Here are the things that I do for my cooking for every week or every two weeks.

+ 30-45 minutes grocery shopping including driving.

+ 30-60 minutes per day to cook daily dinner and prepare breakfast.

+ 10-15 minutes to clean up.

And what I think it solves/helps/improve our family daily life:

+ Food quality is definitely way better than outside. We have good amount of vegetable, fruits, fresh meat/fish/poultry and other dairy products.

+ Lots of time saving for not going out, spending time waiting, driving, moving the whole family around.

+ The cost is very low, probably around 1/3 of eating out.

We do spend a day or two to eat out or eat carry-out food.

While this takes time (months/years) to get a good skill at cooking and minimizing the time, this is so far one of the best skills I have had and I do think people should invest in it.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you choose Kotlin?
It can reuse the Java ecosystem which allow you to save tons of money, and give you advanced features and scalability.
It is a sexier and more ergonomic language too.
And with e.g ZGC, you can have a GC that is fine tunable, and that has very low latency.

By choosing rust you will suffer a great deal of the limitations of it's poor, not production ready, ecosystem.
I'm not even talking about the immaturity of the async await support.
You could replace some of nitrogen by argon to defeat pressure issues.
I strongly recommend the book version (the films by Tarkovsky and Soderbergh are okay but the book is better) of Solaris. It explores this idea of an alien life form that is decidedly un-humanoid.

[Lem, the author]... wrote that he deliberately chose the ocean as a sentient alien to avoid any personification and the pitfalls of anthropomorphism in depicting first contact.

Thanks for the detailed comment and feedback.

We're changing the dimming of the non-highlighted code right now -- that's feedback that we've gotten before.

We're also looking into ways to embed code into the markdown, and scrolling to the relevant code is a particularly good idea.

I think a lot of the value comes from when you're not sure how to navigate the codebase, so I agree that the example doesn't show the total value of the code. In larger codebases that are harder to navigate, I expect these to be much more useful.

Right now, we save the ref of the commit the slide was created on, so it's possible that the code will go out of date, but the slides will always be in sync.

One niche we were exploring was remote teams. We saw that they generally resort to screensharing to explain code and thought that this may be a better, faster alternative.

Thanks again for the detailed feedback!

Looks like the big challenge is managing a large, LRU cache, which tends to be a difficult problem for GC runtimes. I bet the JVM, with its myriad tunable GC algorithms, would perform better, especially Shenandoah and, of course, the Azul C4.

The JVM world tends to solve this problem by using off-heap caches. See Apache Ignite [0] or Ehcache [1].

I can't speak for how their Rust cache manages memory, but the thing to be careful of in non-GC runtimes (especially non-copying GC) is memory fragmentation.

Its worth mentioning that the Dgraph folks wrote a better Go cache [2] once they hit the limits of the usual Go caches.

From a purely architectural perspective, I would try to put cacheable material in something like memcache or redis, or one of the many distributed caches out there. But it might not be an option.

It's worth mentioning that Apache Cassandra itself uses an off-heap cache.

As far as I know, that kind of collision isn't practical at this time. So predicating UI decisions on that basis seems like a mistake to me (given how long git has already ignored the looming threat of SHA1 being broken).

When and if someone injects a SHA1 attack into your repository, and the main git CLI throws up its hands and says "hash collision" trying to access it, I'm not seeing major problems here. The git CLI doesn't need to provide convenient commands to interact with attacks that are not practical today. To the extent that these will become practical, I think git should drop the SHA1 lookup after a migration period regardless, and it would not hurt to provide a gitconfig knob to disable SHA1 lookup.
The feature I most wanted out of Asana, back when I had to use it, was a way to open links to individual issues as some kind of basic, plain HTML page so I'd rarely have to load Asana itself. I dreaded opening it every time, couldn't just leave it open because it ate too much memory and too many cycles for something I only needed to look at a few times a day.
Other worst cases - you leave the firewall wide open, and some script kiddies steal the photos, replace them with kiddie porn and refer you to the police.

100%. In Java, you would often use OpenHFT's ChronicleMap for now and hopefully inline classes/records in Java 16 or so.
Also worth noting: Most requests to the service have to update many Read States. For instance, when you @everyone in the Minecraft server we have to update over 500,000 Read States.

Buttigieg's path to the nomination is having it given to him by superdelegates if no one gets a majority.

Sure, and Steam exists for that. But that's also why it's clogged with thousands of shovelware GameMaker titles, porn games, and downright scams. Discovery on Steam is completely broken.

The EGS is much more akin to a console ecosystem. You don't have to use it, except perhaps for the occasional exclusive. But lots of people feel that there is value there.
runtime.ForceGCPeriod is only exported in testing, so you wouldn't be able to use it in production. But as you said, the distribution could easily be modified to fit their needs.
PEP8 isn't a language requirement, but a style guide. There are tools to enforce style on Python, but the language itself does not.

How does Go allow you to manage memory manually? Malloc/free or something more sophisticated?
I don't have a theory... I'm just noting that professional neglect at this level is malice, whether due to laziness or actual ill intent.

Like, if I sold someone a piece of software that I knew hadn't been tested and told them it worked great, that is malicious behavior, whether my motive was to make a quick and easy buck, to eat ice cream instead of doing actual work, or to ensure that my customer failed. The behavior is malicious independent of motivation.

Why do you think it is? Go has a really great gc which mostly runs in parallel to your program with gc stops only in the doman of less than milliseconds. Discord ran into a corner case where they did not create enough garbage to trigger gc cycles, but had a performance impact due to scheduled gc cycles for returning memory to the OS (which they wouldn't need to do either).
LOL that should’ve been at the top. The improvement in gc between 1.9 and 1.12 is absolutely massive. They could’ve just upgraded go toolchain.
Or they can stay 'private' by not being stored or correlated with other user data. GDPR doesn't apply to the network itself, it applies to whoever is using it.
I agree 99% with your observations.

As you pointed out, this is not just "normal human incompetence", these are layers and layers of incompetence.
Every indication I've heard so far (I live in Iowa, not that it matters since this is a national story) is that it was just gross incompetence on the part of the app maker.

They repeated all morning on the radio "No interference or hacking."

Really it's just a classic case of people under-preparing and shit hitting the fan because everything didn't go 100%.

The People predated the States. People weren't created for the convenience of the States, it was the other way around. Now the States are just another layer of bureaucracy that people have to deal with, and I argue that giving people a larger voice in both local and national politics makes more sense than having these artificial State constructs get in the way.

Another way to look at it is that the salaries of other workers are pegged to the salaries of H1B workers.

There is a way to improve this situation -- allow H1B workers to easily change employers.

Alternatively, employing an H1B requires paying into a tuition scholarship fund. $50k/year sounds reasonable to me.
"We can model flight quite well, and predict the behaviour of wings quite well, yet it is hard to give an accurate account of it at a layman's level."

The problem in that statement is an implied equivalence between having a good model and having a good understanding of the phenomena in question.

It's not so much a layman's understanding that's at issue, but having what's often called an "intuitive understanding" that doesn't resort to the model.

Sure, it's easy to plug in numbers in to a computerized model, and get answers back about the behavior, as from a black box, but it's quite a different thing to oneself have an intuitive understanding of what's going on.

It's often useful to have visualizations of mathematical models and equations precisely because complex models and equations are so difficult to understand, and this difficulty in understanding them highlights that models and equations are not the understanding itself.
I feel like if you use React right, it’s a pretty good for making DSL-like stuff.
And there are lots of alt-nails out there too.

The problem is that it's not trivial to distinguish between your bitnails and all the other altnails, so you have a massive counterfeiting problem the moment any real value gets attached to your bitnails.

(So, no, I won't be investing.)
If we're name-dropping, the Vernor Vinge pack-mind dog things are another fun example of non-human races with actually non-human modes of cognition, even if they're not as far removed as Solaris/Revelation Space sentient oceans. In contrast, although I really liked A Deepness in the Sky for other reasons, the spiders ended up feeling way too much like humans in funny bodies rather than any kind of actual non-human intelligent species.
> everyone can read the code with the indentation they prefer, while the file stays the same.

Have you ever worked in a code base with many contributors that changed over the course of years? In my experience it always ends up a jumble where indentation is screwed up and no particular tab setting makes things right. I've worked on files where different lines in the same file might assume tab spacing of 2, 3, 4, or 8.

For example, say there is a function with a lot of parameters, so the argument list gets split across lines. The first line has, say, two tabs before the start of the function call. The continuation line ideally should be two tabs then a bunch of spaces to make the arguments line up with the arguments from the first line. But in practice people end up putting three or four tabs to make the 2nd line line up with the arguments of the first line. It looks great with whatever tab setting the person used at that moment, but then change tab spacing and it no longer is aligned.
> I suspect if you made a wing out of a flat piece of material, tilted at the appropriate angle of attack, it would be sufficient to fly a plane.

You don't have to suspect. Many aerobatic aircraft (not to mention many high performance military aircraft) have wings that are symmetrical top to bottom (they aren't exactly flat but the top-bottom symmetry is enough to prove the point). They still fly. (The article mentions this.)
I wondered the same, I made a mental note to check out this supposed feature. But now that you've asked this question and since the author was just peddling unsubstantiated hyperbolic horseshit in the 2nd half of the article, I'm guessing there's no such Wireshark feature.

I am not very fond of poetry (except some specific poems), but there is one book of english poetry which I think you may enjoy: the Spoon River Anthology[0].

It's a collection of epitaphs for the cemetery of a fictional town, and each one basically tells a story. Fiddler Jones[1] and Blind Jack[2] (coincidentally, both about fiddlers) contain a few of my favourite verses in all literature.

More seriously, Western countries sold Saddam plenty of chemical weapons which were used to kill lots of Iranians during the particularly brutal Iraq-Iran war during the 1980s.

The whole situation is complete madness from the average individual's perspective. Technically there were still WMDs in Iraq (because "we" sold them to them so of course we knew) but it was probably covered up or obfuscated.
Don't worry about it. None of the major tech companies understand the endurance sports market and it's too small of a niche to even interest them.
Enterprise web development (or any enterprise development) has always been dehumanizing. It´s the vertical organizational model applied to software development. The enterprise implementation of Agile is just the vertical model in new clothes (status meetings disguised as daily meetings, story points used for stack-ranking, etc). When you enter the enterprise you trade leverage for job stability and 9-to-5 working hours.

Startups and mid or small sized niche companies are a little more human. But here you tend to get long working hours and more stress, plus sometimes they are also "vertical".
ML is hierarchical. the upstream layers categorise more abstractly and downstream layers categorise more specifically.
And yet autopilot is doing millions of miles a year with fewer incidents than humans, and expanding in capability (for example taking lane changes and turns), all while constantly lowering the level of accidents.

I think average conditions do matter, and supervised computers will continue to take over driving until humans are simply not required. Of course they will not replace humans this year or next, but at some point humans will be passengers, not drivers.
"Stored" is definitely the purpose of a router. "Correlated" can be necessary for debugging routing issues (or client-server connection issues that are tied to the intermediary fabric near the client doing something weird; hard to determine if an entire subnet is acting up if you aren't allowed to maintain state on errors correlated to IP address).
