In order to prevent the survey from being slanted in favor of any specific tool or technology, no product-, service-, or vendor-related channels were used to collect responses.
What about profitability? R&D is fine if they're profitable, but they're not.
Adobe patched this to prevent symlinks but apparently didn’t bother to add any sandboxing to their root helper tool. Logically this means that any future bugs in this tool will result in the same level of exploitability.

Nowadays self-updating software, from the user perspective, can be as easy as using Touch ID, so why Adobe and other companies are still messing around with complex, insecure and fragile autoupdate permission bypasses is beyond me.
This is the same thing.
You can use aliases. You get 600 aliases with Fastmail for example.

But really you could just set up a 'catch all' and have everything routed to one inbox, then use filters to filter the emails to separate folders.

So emails to $PERMUTE1@domain.com could be filtered to a $PERMUTE1 folder, and so on.
Sorry but having to share my contact info at a business is a step too far for me, and is a breach of individual liberty that I am not willing to participant in. Apart from privacy concerns like in the linked article, I think it is also the kind of normalization of authoritarian mechanisms that we just do not need. Some may call this a slippery slope fallacy, but to them I say that slippery slopes / boiling the frog are an effective way to go from a minor breach of liberty to something more dangerous, all with the public's support along the way.
An evergreen headline...

In the 90s I remember hearing this too. Use the high salary and property value increases to build a nestegg, but keep an eye out for other geographic opportunities because the locals are determined to keep you out, as a class, even if they are friendly one to one.

These days, the property value scam has been going so long that new high wage workers are often locked out for many years, to the benefit of all prior arrivals. But same story otherwise.
> commodification means that you turn something into a product which has a money–value.

Nit: you probably mean something more like "productized" or "marketed," not "commoditized." Commoditized implies something worse than what you're saying, that not only have you sold your feelings and thoughts online, that they're indistinguishable from anyone else's.
I'm working on a project to help people learn languages from reading books:
https://unchart.io/
I've been using machine learning to highlight different parts of speech which I've found makes looking at a foreign language slightly less overwhelming.
My stack is Elixir + React Native + Purescript + Spacy for the machine learning.
And once you install anything Adobe on your mac its basically impossible to completely remove it.

People who are into RISC-V and other side projects/open stacks obviously have not worked on mission critical problems.

When you have a Jet engine hoisted up for a test rig, and something fails in your DSP library, you don't hesitate to call Matlab engineering support to help on within next 30 mins. Try that with some python library. People give a lot of flak to Matlab for being closed source but there is a reason they exist. Not for building a stupid toy project, but for real things where big $$$ is on the line. Python is also used in production everywhere, but if your application is a niche one and using PyVISA library to connect to some DSP hardware that you git cloned is not very "production" ready. You need solid deps.

Don't get me wrong - open source software runs in prod all the time - PostgreSQL/Linux, etc. The smaller the application domain (specific DSP libraries or analysis stacks for wind turbines and such), the lower the availability of high quality open source software (and support).

My point is that reality hits you hard when it is anything where a lot of $$$ or people's time depend on it. Don't blame their engineers for using closed source tools.
I agree, I think we need to get away from proof of skill things like leetcode.

In its best light, its discriminatory. How is someone with a life, such as children or other things going on, supposed to take huge amounts of time away from their personal life to practice skills that are unrelated to the thing they actually want to do?

one of my biggest regrets when doing my masters degree was spending my extra time learning things a data scientist would do. Like learning how to go through huge amounts of data, pull NFL data to see which yard lines on the field have the most injuries (1 and 2 yard line because of % of runs), learning NLP techniques like LDA, etc. Only none of this mattered, the guardian at the gate was asking me how to build and balance binary trees, etc.

The fact that I regret spending my time learning how to do the things the job requires is a travesty of the system. It exposes how asinine the whole system is.
Me too; sadly we had silicon that ran great (We had better performance per watt for FP32 and FP64 on 28nm process vs the A100's 7nm GFLOPs/watt) but targeting a market that had 3 customers that didn't want to work with a startup, plus investors that were opposed to us going into the "risky" and "unproven" AI space. Still have 183 of the chips in my closet waiting to see the light of day :/

Maybe he is, but if a system is to function properly it must work in the worst-case scenario.

In general computing, FPGAs will likely see a rise in popularity (latest mac pro offers an FPGA card as an option). In task specific computing, GPUs and ASICs will likely lead.

One challenge about hiring new employees to work remotely. I think many tech companies have managed to make work from home work mostly (modulo issues with kids who can't go to school, etc.) have been successful because the team building that had already taken place pre-COVID-19. With new employees, it will be much harder to build cohesive teames, as opposed to maintaining the cohesion of an existing team.

There are solutions, once it's safe again. You can fly everyone to a common location once or twice a year, but that's not cheap. And so far at least for me, attempts to do team social video conferences have had at least mixed success. It does help with reconnecting socially, but video conferences are tiring in a way that in-person meetings are not.
Posts telling parents to make their kids drink bleach or disinfectant is, sadly, not actually a caricature.

Free Speech is the foundation of western democracies. Having #BigTech censoring and grading free speech is antithetical to this.

I'll bite and talk about the subject, since I've been involved in that community as both a buyer and sort-of-seller (Helped a ManyVids star rise to the top 20 in their category with feedback, strategy and ehem... 'collaborations' but I'll get back to that)

I don't find sex work in and of itself immoral. That is of course an opinion.

On the other hand... It's another subculture in and of itself. And unfortunately, it's a subculture that often rewards immoral behavior and/or pulls people down dark paths.

From the buying side, It's been interesting to see the different ways that sellers behave. The ways some of them cut corners and/or 'lightly cheat' clients is questionable. The worst form I've experienced is when you make a larger services purchase and it become obvious over the session that you just supported some bad chemical habit of theirs. But I've also had sellers try to cheat the clock.

And I've had MULTIPLE sellers violate my consent in hypnosis sessions.

But perhaps worst was initiating a relationship with a seller for 2 years, only to discover that she had a boyfriend (now fiance) out of state in med school. That's the one I collaborated with, turned out that I was really helping someone who lived in a guilded cage buy more toys for her, NOT helping her make ends meet.

And now, I live in constant worry that she'll start distributing the videos we made again. They were made such that they JUST fall out of my state's classification of Revenge porn. Perfect example of an Immoral seller. When COVID broke out she immediately started e-begging, claiming that she couldn't make her car payments (which I knew was a lie on multiple levels.)

And yet, less than a month later she's posting more fancy outfits, gadgets, etc. that she's purchased.

From the seller's perspective:

- You get scammers too.

- You're living on the edge of acceptable behavior. If you're not using a payment service that approves of your work, One properly targeted set of emails from a disgruntled customer could lead to any uncollected money.

- You have to be -very- careful about your online life. Lots of sellers keep their real life online profiles as locked down as possible, lest someone find their real identity via image search algos.

- You get a lot of people who will either waste your time, troll, or outright harass you.

Which, if anything is what concerns me about the business as a whole. Someone else on HN pointed out in another thread that once you perform one bad act, many times you have to perform another bad act to cover up the first.

I've watched sellers go from kind to cruel after going through the industry for a while. It does change people, and not for the better.

This is the real point: Facebook's "Ministry of Truth" is currently a "Ministry of Clicks and Ad Engagement" and Facebook is happy to interfere in the free flow of information if they can make a quick buck off it. Likewise with Google searches, Twitter feeds, and so on. There is no such thing as a for-profit internet content platform which truly engages in some competitive free market. Reddit is sort of close, at least in principle - Google and Facebook aren't even on paper.

I would agree that this is gross and I don't personally use Facebook. But the idea that profit-motived filtering and selection is OK, yet additionally filtering out clear and dangerous misinformation is somehow 1984-level authoritarianism, is just dumb. Considering Facebook has been complicit in stolen elections and genocide, it's dangerously dumb.
Apart from the aggressive nature of your comment, indeed, in most areas of interests to humans there is no objective truth or it is not as interesting as the motivations and interests of the involved parties.
No. Kids of such parents should be rescued from their tormentors. Stupid people will not go away just because you install some sort overload truth provider.
If you spend enough time searching for the darkest corners of the deep web, you can find powerless, sad people saying bad things about women and people of color.

You can find roughly the same things being said about white men on the front pages of NY Times, CNN, Huffington Post, Twitter, HN and Reddit and being celebrated as progressive, socially acceptable views to be shared non-anonymously by people in positions of power.
I mean, that's their vastly lucrative model to engage the attention of people on their websites, but sure we could ask them to stop I suppose.
How does the Twitter bot work?
This is absurd. There is an objective reality and things actually do happen. You can observe, record, and measure these things. Whether or not we say someone is a terrorist or a freedom fighter doesn't change the fact that they e.g. drove a truck bomb into a government building.
If the Lysol post was never made, do you think the parents who would have fallen for it will be safe for the rest of the duration of children's lives? Point here is that in your scenario the problem isn't the Lysol message, it's the low intelligence of the parents. If they fall for a post telling them to give their child Lysol, it's just a matter of time before they do something equally as dangerous and it should be surprising that they haven't yet done so. Are you going to monitor their interactions with the world 24/7 for the entirety of their lives? That's the only way you're going to accomplish what you're asking for here.

> Out-of-the-box software solutions rarely work for a codebase as large and complex as Uber’s Go monorepo.

That's a weird way to put it. Bazel is the open source variant of what Google uses for its monorepo, which is several orders of magnitude larger and arguably more complex.
That's pretty brutal.

Why do they have so little faith in their own concept? Independence but only on our terms?
Rebuild $infra from large company and provide it as SaaS was a pretty good recipe for a decent software business for a while. It might still be. For example, PagerDuty came out of monitoring systems at Amazon.
This is in contrast to Apple's internal software systems, at least if recent reports seem to be accurate; aside from (I assume Xcode), it seems the business-ey enterprise stuff is outsourced to contractors and software consulting firms and is a giant mess...

Granted, their DNA is still in hardware/devices/OS level stuff versus "services" despite all they claim to be, but how much more quickly could they move if they "owned more" of their stack?
You are not alone in this. Many developers find noise to be a especially distracting factor. I am in this category.

Also, I feel the need to comment on the widespread notion that the primary motivation for open-plan office is that "it facilitates collaboration" which in my opinion and experience is barely truthful in any way.

The reality is that open-office is motivated by the costs of rent -- it really is that simple.

The whole thing about "collaboration" is after-the-fact rationalizing because organizations lack the courage to admit that it really is about money.

I'm using Rocksmith and Yousician (the free version), but I think there's room to improve over what both of them provide for practice / exercises. For learning and performing songs they're definitely the best due to the sheer amount of content they have.

I'm very early in my learning journey so I'm not concerned that developing a prototype version I could use for myself will take too long (it could be that I'm underestimating the difficulty of the problem). I was already able to slap together most of the "glue" code in Unity in a couple hours, and given my signal processing background I have solid ideas for how to approach the difficult algorithmic parts.
This is almost certainly a storm in a teacup.

I saw this and went to check - in the few subs i confirmed, they are not top mods. Top mods have the actual power, to assume that they are setting the agenda for every sub by being the 14th mod out of 28, or the 9th and so on is impossible, given how fractious moderating teams can be.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted. The legal background on this problem is useful, and highlights the real problem with platforms like Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook engaging in content moderation in any capacity beyond preexisting legal mandates (e.g. removing illegal content). The key to judgment in favor of AOL was their "hands off" approach. (https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230/cases/green-v-america-onli...) As soon as today's social media platforms give even the implicit guarantee to their end users that they've vetted content to some "standard", they're just asking for liability. Once they get into the politics game as per Hawley's bill seeks to prevent, they're gonna face FEC regulations and a host of state and local election law issues as well. Is this really the road they want to go down? I don't think the execs smug in the certitude of their vision of what their communities "should" be seeing and not seeing are thinking this through.

You certainly can. It's been a standard feature in PDFs for a long time. It's just that the PDF has to be created to that standard. Good chance the forms being generated by Acrobat is not conforming to that standard to discourage use of 3rd party readers.

Unfortunately you need it for some other features of PDFs. For example, if you download the AWS SOC report it has attachments on the PDF (apparently that is a thing?!). You need to open it in Acrobat Reader to extract the attachments. I tried Chrome and Preview and neither work.
>First, how will Facebook or any other entity that takes on the responsibility to fact check stand up to coordinated misinformation campaigns like “Iraq has WMDs” where an omniscient fact checker could have literally saved thousands of lives.

It gets worse. We did find WMD's in Iraq [1]. But those were Chemical weapons and obviously not the WMD's we were looking for in the first place. So even your omniscient fact-checker would be implicitly lying, as while the statement “Iraq has WMDs” is objectively true, it isn't precisely true that they have the WMD's which there was a coordinated misinformation campaign about. Even with objective truth, a fact-checker could be selectively used and misused for nefarious purposes.
