I have been interested in an OS that would better implement virtualization and containers better, "closer to the hardware." I know most users aren't terribly interested in that sort of thing, but I think a lot of hacker-types would enjoy easily sorting projects into different areas. How nice would it be to easily spin up a couple different machines to test a server-client relationship on the same machine, without a handful of slow VMs?

I feel I don't know enough to see the issues with an approach like that, or know why it's not already mainstream.
I don't think it's misplaced. Facebook wasn't really backing D by hiring them. And it doesn't seem like that specific project is active anymore.

Where's these personal attacks coming from? Insecurity? You called me a liar. I feel my response was a perfectly acceptable way to defend myself against such an accusation.

There are actually small differences in the two images (text color, etc.).
Close to the last allocation doesn't matter. What matters is the memory returned to the application - and this is memory that has been touched long ago and unlikely in cache. If your new generation size is larger than L3 cache it will have to be fetched from main memory for sure every time you start the next 64 bytes. I believe a smart cpu will notice the pattern and will prefetch to reduce cache miss latency. But a high allocation rate will use a lot of memory bandwidth and would thrash the caches.

An extreme case of that problem happens when using GC in an app that gets swapped out. Performance drops to virtually zero then.

New Zealand is currently at 22, but moving to 26 weeks paid parental leave for babies born from July 1, 2020.

The paid parental leave is up to the parents to decide the split between them.

I think it is a great idea for fathers to be encouraged more to take a share of the paid parental leave.

This could go some small way in helping remedy income disparity between genders.

I was deployed and/or travelling a lot when our boys were young.

Another poster questioned the value of time with infants as opposed to when they are older.

I do think bonding with infants and toddlers is super important for both parent and child.

But it can also feel like a robotic and laborious grind.

As my boys enter high school, I most enjoy our ritualised time together during daily school drop offs and pick ups.

Engaging with them, guiding them on their own journey, and observing how far they have come.

I have few regrets, but one of them is not spending more time wth my kids when they were younger, which probably feeds the extra effort in recent years to spend more time with them as they grow into young men.

These posts are great and there is always great information in them. But to nitpick, it would be a lot easier to digest on face value if you lead with concurrency rather than raw total users as that's the true gauge of how your server infrastructure looks like.

That shows one of the really big problems with 401k's, you pretty much get no say in what companies you invest in. Worse, you usually can't even get information about what companies you invest in.
A feature is not a business.

The answer is pretty simple actually. You make a couple of billions a year. Invest a single billion in a full UX revamp for 5 years down the line, and see how it all works out.

Throwing money at problems doesn't always work, but when you have a lot of money, and a very specific problem, it tends to work.

meh - I mean, I don't know what language you write in today, but I would wager it's a language that has had at least a million spent in some kind of marketing, books, directly or indirectly or through advocacy (that also costs money as it's a company telling employees to put effort into that instead of other things). And if you include that, we're probably talking about $1M to 1/2 billion if it's in the top 10 tiobe index.
I think you are stretching too hard. University is not any corporation. The core value of an university is to pursue truth and knowledge, so free expression and free thinking are essential to universities. At least that's how most people understand it. Maybe you have an alternative theory to redefine university ...
> we already do hold her liable, but only to the amount of her investment

That's the thing, though - we don't. Her liability is limited to effectively zero. Her investment may lose value, but that is another risk entirely. If the company in which she is invested goes bankrupt with a billion dollar debt, she isn't on the hook for a penny of it.
The first part is long since true. Courts have already (wrongly) established that you have no expectation of privacy in anything you entrust to a third party agent like a bank or a cloud service. If you give the provider a key to your stuff, they can give it to law enforcement.

The latter is a tougher desecration of the constitution to sell.
Admittedly, PHP is kinda legendary for having accidentally ended up with all sorts of odd argument orders.

As much as I would like to believe you, I cannot. With literally almost every company around me gathering analytics and with every average person's operating system, web browser, social media, phones, televisions, smart locks, smart fridges, graphic card drivers and graphic tablets sending this data out in bulk, you are not going to convince me that the authors of all that software are siphoning data out of us all for nothing.

The conventional term for a research institution which requires allegiance to specific ideologies is “think tank”. There’s nothing inherently wrong with think tanks, but they shouldn’t pretend to be research universities and they shouldn’t be sponsored by the government.

More importantly in this specific case, if the UC board wants to have a diversity oriented think tank, they need to build it on their own rather than subverting California’s research university system.
Very far I would guess. 10 years ago we took a single bare metal database server running mysql with 8 cores and 64gb of memory to 8 million daily users. 15k requests per second of per user dynamic pages at peak load.

> even if someone had read and understood Wacom’s privacy policy, and had knowingly consented to a reasonable interpretation of the words inside it, that person would still not have agreed to allow Wacom to log and track the name of every application that they opened on their personal laptop.

I agree completely. Tracking every application one uses and reporting on that to third party Google is so contrary to their stated EULA that both a class action lawsuit, and prosecution in jurisdictions that protect privacy, are warranted.
Was there case law behind that decision remove those videos, or was it typical University legal cya running the show?

The experience of paternity leave is quite intense. It's not all fun. E.g. long nights when baby is sick or teething and the baby's mum has to go to work the next day so she has to sleep and the long night goes straight into a difficult day.

As someone that thought I spent a lot of time with my baby before starting pappperm it was an awakening - but also a wonderful bonding experience.

Yes time as a baby is important. Dad's shouldn't have to wait until their kids grow up before they get to know them.

That was slightly different, since at that time the only information we had that this unethical "security researcher" had exploited the bug for months on billions of phone numbers and only disclosed it once Twitter blocked them.

This announcement is different in that Twitter appear to be saying that this was being abused by other actors as well.
> not enforced in the case of ZZ

I don't think it's really even possible for a language to force the programmer to give a proper formal specification.

We may want the formal spec to grant some leeway, i.e. not to specify the exact output/behaviour, but instead to express certain important constraints. For instance, we may not care which traffic-light turns green first, so long as the system preserves the important properties about safety and liveness.

If we wish to support such flexibility, we can't stop the programmer from expressing all output states are valid.

If we don't wish to support such flexibility, what we're really doing is comparing against a reference implementation.
> Enlarging the patterns and looking at the reflection in a mirror revealed the word 'Allah' (God) in Arabic

That's really grasping at straws.

Not that it would be problematic if they really did find Arabic writing. Vikings traded with and had conflict with Arabs and were well known to take religious artifacts as bounty.

That's not an excuse, but a reason to pay for a focus group or study.
I am aware of that. My wife was working part time and had to take vacation days to stay home. I was working full time for FAANG and had to take vacation days for paternity leave, too. I stayed home for 3 weeks, the most I could take. There was no such thing as paternity/maternity leaves prior to 2016 I believe even for big tech companies. I remembered Microsoft was one of the 1st to offer such thing in 2017.

I'm sorry you're getting downvoted to oblivion on this. There are two cohorts on HN: those who think you can do whatever the hell you want as long as you put "startup" in front of it, and those who think anything a company does is the end of the world. And while I suspect these two cohorts overlap a lot, today you've definitely gotten hit by the latter.
I would largely agree.

In a dark humoured way, and beyond the essential need to create an unbreakable bond beyond infant & parent, you can be replaced and better optimised by an iterated Roomba. :)

But with each passing day/year the desire/need to spend time with your kids should grow.

And I agree that it feels like an hour spent with them today provide all of us more value than an hour spent with them as infants/toddlers.

Both are important, but I think I’m less replaceable today than yesterday.

That wasn't editorialized, that was a gallant attempt to fit both the site guidelines and the 80 char limit. The only thing I'd have done differently was take out "Brave" from the title, since it's in the domain next to the title, and since they provide enough mentions of "Brave" themselves. (Submitted title was "Brave uncovers widespread surveillance of UK citizens on UK council websites".)

It's moot now because we switched to the pdf and taken its shorter title.

that is correct. however, zz does enforce api contracts which can be arbitrary expressions within the QF_UFVB theory.

for example check out the err::checked() theory which enforces that a function call must be followed by err::check.

similarly, i expect a community will come up with other standard contracts such as must_not_copy() for secret values that may not be copied.

Machine Wisdom
Lets say you write in bash like this:

if [[ $OPTION =~ = ]]
then
declare "BOCKER_${OPTION/=*/}=${OPTION/*=/}"
else
declare "BOCKER_${OPTION}=x"
fi

Going from here, if you rewrite this in golang you'd probably improve readability.

But the readability has not been "thrown out of the window" yet, like in this case:

[[ $OPTION =~ = ]] && declare "BOCKER_${OPTION/=*/}=${OPTION/*=/}" || declare "BOCKER_${OPTION}=x"
But Podman is not the same thing at all.

Yes, this I absolutely think this is schizophrenic paranoia.
It is non deterministic, but at a much different scale.
It is public information, and that's why it's ludicrous that it's used for two-factor authentication.

Two-factor authentication is a dumb solution to a real problem. The problem should be properly solved, rather than hacked around with stupid solutions like "sending notifications to accounts that can easily be spoofed by willful actors".

I Had to Abandon My Game After 4 Years and It Broke Me
I've been in this space long enough to give you one very important piece of advice:

- language and frameworks get you interviews, accomplishments get you jobs

Note: that advice isn't relevant to FAANG style companies that do algorithm interviews. They usually don't give two sh*ts about your accomplishments and will put you through the same algorithms non-sense they put a fresh grad.

It's much more important to be accomplishing something. The problem with chasing frameworks is that you aren't actually focused on what engineers and developers do; solve problems with technology. So yes, you likely aren't growing maintaining an old code base, but it's not because you aren't practicing React. It's likely because you are spending most of your time tackling technical debt. This is a valuable skill in and of it self, but I would say if you are rather junior, aim for a good balance of greenfield and maintenance. It's important to fully grasp every part of the SDLC. Yes that maybe less relevant in today's "agile" non-sense, but it's pretty valuable for you as a professional to understand what the full cycle is. What does it take to get a project off the ground? What does it take to setup a CI/CD pipeline (and btw, these have existed in some form for YEARS)? What does it take to deliver? Why did you choose language/framework A over B? And so on...

Really there are some rules of thumbs we've developed as a profession around this:
- If you aren't doing something different in ~2 years, you probably want to ask for a new opportunity internally or move
- Always be ready to interview, you're likely to get at least a 20% salary increase by doing this
- Longevity in a position is only valuable if you like the organization and intend on moving to management or principal engineer type roles

Don't focus so much on frameworks and languages unless you want to be a consultant/contractor in that space.

And above all else: NETWORK! Build a real organic network of friends and colleagues. This is more valuable than anything else. These are the people who think of you when a job comes along. These are the people who you join or bring to a new organization to do something trans-formative for that place. This needs to be both organic and deliberate. Keep up with old friends, classmates and colleagues. Make new ones at hackathons, industry events, meetups etc. (this is harder, but possible). And above all else have a life. Participate in non-technology things so you don't burn out. Try learning a new non-technical skill potentially in an industry that you might want to work in.

Good luck!

I'm a dad in Norway too, and I think that's the wrong way to look at it. Getting on with their life? It's the time with your kids that's the bit of the life that's more valuable.

Likewise, trying to measure how beneficial it is for the kids sort of misses the point. I'm sure it can be beneficial, but whether they draw lasting benefits from it or not, they value it there and then.

You do get deeply attuned to your babies as a parent - at least, we did. You got uncannily good at guessing what they want, what they feel, from practice and from the biological connection that they are like you in so many subtle ways most people aren't. And of course, two parents will understand their babies in slightly different ways. They're very capable of appreciating this.

In case you see this and are wondering why?

Basically Unit Tested and Demos pages needed a Web Server and originally I was using PHP. But of course I didn’t want to publish a npm/js project that needs PHP.

I could have simply used express but at the time was developing the project on multiple computers so having a zero dependency express-like web server allowed the project to remain small and very quick to copy.
The key is to figure out what to copy and what to innovate. This is usually captured by the idea of "core competency": figure out what your company's unique competency is, innovate in that area, and avoid trying to innovate in other areas in order to save time.

The question would be whether it’s possible to make one’s behavioural data (online or offline) “radioactive” to then prove with a high degree of accuracy whether someone (like Facebook) is stalking you online to deliver targeted ads.

At the moment advertising providers use a lot of data for ad targeting, some of which is benign and/or acquired with informed consent. As a result it makes it impossible for the user to tell whether an ad was targeted to them based on data they consented to share or if the data used was data they didn’t want to be collected or used for advertising purposes.
