I think OpenBSD has an interesting solution to this problem, randomness is saved in a seedfile on shutdown/periodically during runtime, and injected directly into the kernel via boot loader before the kernel loads.

This gives you a quality of randomness as early as possible during kernel boot, and allows you to employ it with kernel structures that are otherwise impossible to modify post-initialization (that say may be required to get "randomness harvesting" working).
Things don't change overnight. Your legacy code doesn't get rewritten in rust overnight even if rust provides actual significant benefit for you.

I will give it a few more years. People who work those jobs are also majorly illiterate and may not be willing to change as implied in the article.
That's also my understanding.

I would also be strongly surprised if this was the only study used by, well, most of the world to determine their policies. Even if one study isn't as well-{architected, tested} as a computer engineer would hope (hint: they never are), the fact that pretty much all models/studies lead to the same overall conclusion is quite encouraging.
I apologise - you're quite right, I've misremembered. It looks like the Financial Times hasn't joined IPSO or IMPRESS either.
Are you saying that if Chicago,LA,NYC have death rates of 23.14,7.01,3.39 per 100k, then the combined death rate of Chicago, LA, and NYC is 23.14 + 7.01 + 3.39 = 33.54 per 100k?

If that's what you're saying, then you're wrong, because the combined death rate of 3 cities would be the number of deaths across 3 cities divided by the number of people across 3 cities. It would not be the number of deaths per 100k in each city added together!

If that's not what you're saying, then I don't understand how it can be meaningful to compare those figures.
I read "whale fail". I expected an insightful article on the failure of large software projects. smh.
this is not a cure, but mAb therapies are a very promising approach for a therapy, particularly because the basic idea already is known to work well, there's been some encouraging preliminary work, and it looks like a good target.

You'd assume so but as others have recently started posting in the comments on this thread, maintainers for small projects regularly get barraged with demands and spam/other forms of aggression in retaliation for not meeting said demands.

I'm not sure why but some people like to assume that just because you posted something online that you must fix any problem people have while using it and add any feature that it doesn't have. I suspect that this is the main reason those "This is a hobby. Please don't get mad at me if there's a problem" README tags started showing up.
They complement each other. There are certain things that I’d love to pull up a command line for (e.g. quickly aligning dozens of objects using a non trivial heuristic); but on the other hand there are plenty of things where the act of visually working through it, placing multiple options side by side on the canvas, rearranging things by hand etc., helps in solving the problem itself.

What would be really nice is if we had a solid set of standards for inter operation, such that I could work on the same video editing project in After Effects, through the command line, through some open source tools someone else wrote... etc.

I have a project right now where I have assets generated in Sketch, some other assets generated by Python scripts, all feeding into an AE project, the output of which gets fed back into some of the Python scripts... I can do great things, but it’s super kludgy/buggy to work with, and as a software engineer see so many trivial ways in which it could all be so much faster and more pleasant to work with (e.g. After Effects natively only supports very limited JS like scripting, so I have to have duplicated Python + AE code... and if the AE motion tracker could serialize tracking data for Python...).

I’m not holding my breath because this kind of computing, while more aligned in philosophy with the early composable UNIX roots, is IMO most entirely incompatible with the state of the (creative) software industry/economy (Adobe, like everyone else, would like to do as much as they can so that you do not give any of your time or money to creative software other than Adobe’s).
I think the issue is that your use of the crypto functions is dependent on permission from a CA. Depending on the nature of the application you're serving over HTTPS, a CA could be compelled under DMCA to revoke your certificate, and thus your permission to use the crypto APIs.
You can do TDD at any level. You can do TDD for unit tests.

From what you're describing your issue might not be TDD but defining and implementing the right tests for your systems.

I would say, look at your functions. How can you test them? Look at your interfaces. How can you test them?

TDD is just doing that before you code.
Their stock went up 158% on Friday due to this press release. Seems overly optimistic and speculative; this is a small company and investors have been burned by them before, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/RobinHood/comments/89tnhb/biotech_i...

It's known that golang optimizes for latency at the expense of throughput, and it doesn't give you the option to change this if your requirements change. This is the power of the JVM. In any case, the JVM now ships with ZGC, a low latency GC, and it may be worth running the benchmark with it. There's also another low latency GC in the works called Shenandoah.

I’ve never heard of any company that has fired someone (which usually implies that it was with cause, as opposed to a lay-off, which does not imply a cause, but rather that the company needed to do cost cutting) giving them a severance package.

> your trades are getting a different result than if you explicitly paid a brokerage who charges a commission on it.

Yes...the average retail customer submitting a market order will generally get a better fill with PFOF. This is what most people don't usually mention when talking about those terrible high-frequency trading firms.

E.g. if a stock is trading at 10.00x10.10 and I submit a market buy via Robinhood. Citadel or someone else is going to pick that up and sell it to me for, probably, 10.08 or 10.09. Not the 10.10 I would've paid on the open market hitting the offer. It's in fact illegal for me to get a worse (higher) fill than 10.10.
My number for Germany comes from https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/gehalt/gross_net_calcu... & includes Solidaritätszuschlag & health insurance.

But it depends on state and stuff like church taxes (optional, you can declare being atheist & pay none) plus other things like marital status, tax classes, which public health insurance you choose, etc.

And the end of the day you pay similar taxes on income in Germany as you do in a high-tax US states like California.
This a thousand times. If you hit a bug on my code and put together a PR to fix it, the reasons I would merge it are in order of importance:

1. For you, since you are nice and helpful debugging it and fixing it for you and others so I want to make it easy for you to use the working code.

2. For other users that might hit the bug, for every PR bugfix there are likely N people hitting the bug.

3. For me in case I hit it in the future.

4. For correctness sake.

But not all bugs are straightforward, many have side-effects or disadvantages that I might not be comfortable merging straight away. So I have to evaluate how long it'll take me to review the PR and whether it's even worth-it (the vast majority of times PRs are worth-it, but issues are a hit and miss).
I was speaking to written form language.

In written form, Hindi is closest IMHO to Sanskrit versus the other major Indian languages. However it drops certain aspects like explicit अ and a few less common characters. But largely if you can read Hindi, you can read Sanskrit without much issue.

Whereas other Indian languages diverged more in their written text form. Though even there, I can read Gujarati text to some degree.

I’m ethnically Bengali so I can understand some spoken Bengali but struggle to read any due to the more marked difference in how the letters are formed.
Palantir is relevant because you cannot invest in it. That's the whole point. Did you read the previous part of this discussion about how publicly traded indexes do not represent a targeted bet on the economy because there are plenty of companies that are not a part of them (e.g. Tesla not in the S&P 500) that can completely replace the ones that are?
Do they though? In most parts of the world academics are not well paid relative to what they can get in the private sector. Even for most liberal arts subjects you can get paid more to produce good entertainment or good books than you'd get in the academy.

You can become a master programmer with no degree at all. Look at all the successful CEOs who dropped out.

If computers get significantly faster then no...but at this point I always reach for a native application if I have the choice.

The only non-native app I dont detest that much is VS Code but it still feels painfully slow compared to something like Sublime Text.

Lets look at the chat apps that provide a similar functionality.

* Teams

Takes between 600-800MB on my PC. It's sluggish as hell and will often choke to re-render if I click on something.

* A native chat app
Takes 15MB...Is just as eye candy as Teams and yet i dont care if it's running or not.

This is a question you have to answer once for your project. Similar to choosing which OS, database, library, or framework to use. There's no avoiding having knowledge or learning when choosing dependencies.

Just about any of the implentations will work fine. You only have to concern yourself with avoiding use of the Oracle runtime in production without a license. If in doubt, install the latest AdoptOpenJDK[0] Hotspot version that's compatible with your app.

For a used EV, I think a buyer would need to know the range and some indication of the useful life of the battery.
Yes, there's definitely still a place for them.

I'd say that that when you're writing an application which is fundamentally just a pretty wrapper (e.g. it exists to take user input and pipe it over HTTP to some web service or use it to generate a command for some other binary) and your users don't care about performance, resource usage or reliability, it makes sense to use a browser. Your application is very UI-focused and if you're already familiar with HTML, CSS and JS, use what you know.

However if you're working on an application that has strict resource usage, reliability and/or performance requirements like say a control system for industrial equipment, a 3D game, a video encoder, photo editing software, or software that's going to be run on an embedded system, you're going to find it difficult to do what needs to be done with a browser/wrapper. It can be done for sure but it'll be something you work around rather than with.

Wholeheartedly disagree. Vetting a possible maintener or fork is >0 work, and you don't owe us anything.

If you had to go to the trouble of creating your library in the first place, it means either

A) "the community" had not met your specific need, so why would they start now? Or

B) you did this for fun/learning/visibility/coping with a mania, in which case you still don't owe us any favors.

That said, doing either of the above would be nice and appreciated, but you don't have to donate anything above and beyond what you are have.

Similar to being a bicycle messenger. You could make $20 an hour if you're efficient, which is more than working at a big box chain or delivering for a ridesharing service, and it has prestige.

2. How many units they deliver each day

3. What the cost of delivery of each unit and what's the value of the food content?
For Mumbai?

Will need citation for that but regardless, my point is that it is still not a livable wage regardless of whether it is average or above average.

Secondly, the parent compared food delivery startups and companies - both of which pay more than 12k monthly assuming you work 8 hours per day.

This is amazing, thank you so much. Typos are very troublesome and they slip through the cracks too easily. A typo PR or issue will get merged 100% of the times in my case.

I meant that I closed the issue section, not individual issues. For individual issues I don't recall closing a single non-rude one without at least a short explanation.
I agree, in part because of performance, but also in part because I value being able to bootstrap from source as much as possible. There are only a few projects seriously working on this, one being GNU Guix: https://guix.gnu.org/

The trouble with Electron apps though (and most Node apps) is the sheer number of dependencies. It's just infeasible to package them for a distro if you care about their dependencies being packaged as well - at least, not without the entire process being automated.

While it is always good for executives to learn how long-established and well-run things work, it looks to me a lot in this system depends on the social context of Mumbai (or other big cities in India): big income disparity and the prevalence of stay at home domestic partners. I mean the first example in the article is a stock broker who has food delivered from home, cooked by their spouse.

Why would this work in countries with a set minimum wage, double income households, and restaurants that have to be able to maintain their margins after delivery fees (something that domestic partners do not have to do)?

Another breathless, gasping story about the evils of FB / technology / capitalism / <insert boogeyman here> from the Guardian, which has established itself as the nexus for alarmist 'journalism'. The footer: "in the coming year, and the results will define the country for a generation. These are perilous times..." Doesn't sound much like a news outlet to me.

...then you read the piece and find out there's really very little content, just links to other articles (some by the Guardian!). A lot of words on the page that give the impression of something important, whereas in reality they're just building on the narrative they've been selling.
I think that's exactly the problem because of things like this:

It's worth mentioning those drawbacks are implementation problems, not soundness or ergonomic problems with the model itself.

"3.4 mistakes per million deliveries". There are lessons to be learned from these guys, but I think definition of a mistake and this stat in general is, well, flexible.
The Fed's response to the pandemic has been essentially to bail-out every financial instrument. Today we are seeing deflationary pressures. But this is only in the short term. Eventually this unprecedentedly massive printing of money will turn inflationary. We have possibly (I don't know) run the course of inventing new financial instruments to turn money into more money. Or maybe the Fed will continue to exceed its charter and and encourage moral hazard.

One thing is for sure, smart capitalists are searching for real assets to acquire. There is a tsunami of capital looking for preservation in the face of coming inflation. Look for consolidation of small residential leases, productive farmland, productive forestry and mineral land and leases in a big way.
No this was a misunderstanding I said if you need (concurrency control/transaction and index) use a real database not a filesystem, since it’s the whole reason database exist.

I think there's quite a lot, when you count the jobs where there's no specific degree requirement but HR/recruiting/middle managers will express a strong preference for candidates with degrees.

Don't look at others, just look at yourselve.

How do you think rich people cope with a friend earning more. They don't, since they ( mostly) don't care. As long as we both are good off, it's good for our friendship.

Balancing a friendship between poor/rich is much more difficult/fragile because of possible jealousy. When you are in the same boat ( eg. We are both doing fine), it's much easier and it's insane how easier friendships become, just because of that "simple" thing.
Never has for me but YMMV. Maybe a salt circle just out of an abundance of caution.
And the fact that the average length of employment at this is measured in decades, possibly generations. It's an ecosystem not a startup.

To add my own anecdote about US healthcare, I needed a hernia repair surgery in my early 20’s.

My dr referred me to a specialist, I asked if he was in network for my insurance and everything seemed good. But in what I have since come to realize is a quintessential US healthcare experience, it turns out the facility that this independent surgeon used and the anesthesiologist were not in network. Nobody bothered to tell me about this before the surgery, so I went through with it.

Later I see the bill is about $39k, and my insurance has decided they’ll pay $1174. I was freaking out, but I got a call from the billing department and they asked if I could just pay $200, which I did and they called it a day and everything was settled.

It makes just as little sense as any of the horror stories I’ve heard, but somehow worked out pretty reasonably for me. I still have no idea how this happened. Did I get incredibly lucky? Or are more of these horror stories you hear where someone “ended up with a $50k medical bill”, just on paper and those amounts rarely actually need to be paid?
