Have you ever seen support forums (like Apple)? It’s full of people who just say what the problem is with no detail about the circumstances. Then when you ask them what they were doing, they don’t remember or can’t reproduce it. There’s tons of stupid users.

For example: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251380226 Okay, you can’t send email? Well, did you delete the built-in email app? Do you have your email account set up?

Telemetry aims to fix that by providing context to what was happening when the problem happened. Whether it actually helps software development, I can’t answer.
I will completely disagree with the above statement and claim that The Atlantic were biased and lacking real statistical data in their reporting.

Given the news this has made, I sure hope browser vendors don't overreact with blocking this too hard:

I genuinely have a use-case for this. We have an internal company wide business app, that works in any browser. The usual create-read-update-delete stuff, reports, factory forms etc.

With websockets we solve communication with local devices on the shopfloor - some computers have serial-port attached thermal printers, others have usb attached notification lights. We have small python scripts that listen for commands with websockets on 127.0.0.1 and control the printers and lights.

That way we can control each users local devices from the web app - without configuring internal firewalls or installing special browser add-ons (an in-house browser add-on is a bigger security risk, than a websocket on 127.0.0.1)
On my team, net workload is not reduced, it just becomes radically different. It's only your time spent on longer term projects that gets reduced (to zero).

Bay Area SWE salaries are bimodal. Negotiating a high salary that's part of the lower peak (which I'm currently part of) is easy. Doing so for a salary that's part of the second peak is not.

If Facebook or Apple or whoever are still willing to give you 400k+ TC outside of the Bay Area, Seattle, NYC, or Los Angeles, it's because you're truly exceptional. Most people who get around that much in compensation working for those companies in the Bay Area will have to take a reduction in pay if they go to another office in a major city, and an even bigger cut if they go full remote.

I am expecting Bay Area SWE incomes to fall in the next few years, as housing & rent prices fall. But I could be wrong, and they'll continue going up despite cost of living going down. We'll see!
I'm a software engineer at Amazon in Retail. (This is just my opinion, I don't speak for Amazon in any official capacity, etc.)

Different software products have different severity levels. For my team, the oncall burden is not so bad. We have an internally facing tool. When we do get paged, it's usually requires acknowledging a ticket, a few minutes to validate something, sending an email out, and that's it. For teams with more externally visible products, a particular page can be stressful, but my understanding is they also spend a lot of time in ensuring system robustness in order to limit the number of pages. The "15 minute" response time the post referred to is generally to acknowledgement - the expected time to resolution can be quite variable.

The working hours are generally pretty good as well. The general expectation is that you're not working crazy hours.

I've ran into "project crunch time" at Amazon, but the experience at Amazon was like everywhere else I've worked. This also will vary by team: teams that need to make changes to support Black Friday obviously have a pretty hard deadline. Or if your team is getting ready for a re:invent announcement, there's no way to work around that. But from what I've heard, teams that have such a hard deadline also have a corresponding quiet period in December or January.

Most people I know within Amazon that get burned out on one team and feel like there's no resolution within that team (or just feel like they've had enough with one area) solve that by switching teams. This is generally pretty easy, since most teams are hiring at any time, and they would rather take an internal transfer than an outside hire.

Amazon has a pretty good system around having a senior individual contributor track (I haven't worked for any of the other big tech companies, my understanding is that they're similar). Part of the benefit of this system is that SDE1's/SDE2's have someone to reach out to for helping navigate management. Anyone at Amazon who reads this who is experiencing something similar to the OP should feel free to reach out to one of the senior engineers for help.

Overall, I don't doubt that the post in the original article is that person's experience, but it has not been my experience.
Yes, definitely some marketing there too. But there's a reason that even ex-consultants (who, presumably, would be "in on the secret" if it were empty marketing) pay for THEIR consultants to travel too.

I may be wrong about the reasons, but I still believe the example of consulting - and entire industry built around paying a high cost to colocate - suggests a value to colocation.
BART! I used it once just to see how it went. A cross between a cattle car and a shipping container. Unbearably noisy and dirty. Reminded me of the public transit in Gotham when Bruce Wayne returned.
Both people and dolphins are highly social. Of course the food is an important part of the interaction, but it seems likely they view humans socially and get more out of the interaction than, say, if they were pressing a lever to get food. (BTW, food is an important part of human social interactions as well — probably the easiest way to get someone to like you is to feed them.)

I don’t know that, of course, but I’m only assuming dolphin social tendencies can bridge the species gap in a similar way that human social tendencies do (and for cats, and dogs, and horses, and lions, etc.)

And the bad news is that, to reach our climate goals, we need to do much more. https://wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/30797/...: “the required cuts in emissions are now 2.7 per cent per year from 2020 to year- 2030 for the 2°C goal and 7.6 per cent per year on average for the 1.5°C goal.”

With the help of this year’s crisis, that 2°C goal seems in sight, but 1.027¹⁰ is about 1.3, so even if that “as much as” is globally, we would need about 10% more, so we still would have to find new ways to decrease emissions. I don’t even see us keep our current gains.

That 1.5°C goal certainly is way out of sight, IMO.
Of course salaries wouldn't go up. Because you removed the cost from the equation.

But now do the thought experiment where the employee must explicitly pay the extra 6.2%. Now of course you have to give them a 6.2% raise, because they would demand it to cover their increased costs.
It's easy to anthropomorphize animals, but it's also easy to go overboard in the other direction. In general, as our understanding of animal cognition has increased, we have moved away from human exceptionalism, finding that traits once thought to be unique to humans are anything but. Certainly we've come far from the Cartesian viewpoint of non-human animals as mindless automata.

"Love" in particular, of course, is both a highly loaded and acutely ill-defined concept, so "can a <non-human animal> feel love" is probably a wrong question [1].

By the way, it's rather appropriate that you mentioned hyenas given how misunderstood they are by laypeople, in no small part due to their presentation in a certain Disney film.

I'm not surprised that a professor that is a well-known, outspoken climate change denier is also opposed to the quarantine. It's honestly the same problem; does one tolerate any economic harm for the public good? If you are opposed, the only way to maintain good optics is to deny that there is any public harm worth hurting the economy over.

Here is an interesting (and completely deranged) article written by him that is only written with the slightest bit of irony https://stream.org/i-am-a-climate-denier/
This is my experience as well, atleast among younger employees. Presumably the older employees that have kids don't have as much time for hobbies/passions like that.

I disagree. That was true for a time, and i enjoyed it coming from NetBSD. But nowadays, if for any reason you don't want to use systemd, or have different opinions about partioning, e.g. limiting access and execution rights and usage for /var, /tmp you are in for an eternal uphill battle against the decisions of 'upstream' and therefore the 'community' which devoutly adheres to these. There are some derivatives addressing that, but at that point you can also say: "Forget it!"
Yep. This was the solution for us. The secondary is the next-in-line for primary. Secondary is also first in line for helping out during incidents. This means communication with other teams, a second incident popping up (rare, but has happened), etc.

I’ve found that just having someone else to commiserate with at midnight, if needed, really helps the mental state of on-call.
In my understanding, Chalk's immediate goal is to be able to reproduce the existing trait system. Achieving that goal does not mean that GATs just automatically happen; they'll need to be implemented in Chalk, and then all the other polish work that happens with new major features needs to happen. There's a ton of work other than "chalk exists."
The economy is in trouble because of the virus, not because of lockdowns or following advice of medical experts.

People scared to die or spread a viral infection to loved ones => reduction in eating out, going to concerts, or traveling => major economic pain for the service industry.
No ?

The only problem OP has solved is detecting overwriting of metadata inadvisably comingled with the user data.

That problem does simply not exist in phkmalloc, or jemalloc for that matter, writing past the end or before the beginning of an allocation does not automatically give you the ability to violate the internal integrity of the malloc implementation.

If you actually read the first link you pasted carefully, you will see what an amazing tour-de-force it was to exploit CVE-2003-0015, which was a run-of-the-mill double-free mistake in CVS.

As I remember it, there were proof-of-concept exploits against list-based mallocs in a matter of days, it took months before bbp's article appeared.

When I wrote phkmalloc, most of the exploitable malloc-related problems were usage problems, double frees, freeing modified pointers, writing past start or end of allocation etc.

If you had seen my presentation in New Orleans 1998, you would undoubtedly remember my handwritten slide with around 20 setuid programs phkmalloc had found issues in within the first year.

That is the primary reason why there are so few malloc(3) related exploits these days: phkmalloc and later jemalloc complained about them.

Those are mistakes which list-based mallocs do not find, because it is too expensive to walk the list all the time, and on top of that, they run slower, because the list is O(n)!

There is neither a reason, nor an excuse for using a list-based malloc in this day and age.

Neither OP nor I claim to have solved the "big" malloc problem, because, as I already explained: That takes hardware support.

> There are many reasons to think it wouldn't. For example, lots of people work two jobs. People work full time when they could work part time. Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos etc all still work. The vast majority of people in a modern economy work more than they need to in order to earn what a UBI would pay.

Bill Gates works, but he doesn't work as a janitor. Who is going to scrub the toilets for a meager supplement to a guaranteed living wage?
Or not. Because folks are hurting now. And with UBI they might be able to move to more affordable locations anyway, which helps solve the other problem right there.

Sounds like you're talking about semiotics. Or maybe something else.

Please continue to refine your questions so someone else can understand and help you. You might want to talk to someone with your voice and their voice, better even face to face (as much as we can do that these days). Sounds like you really need someone else to help you think through this.
And if you have the time, look into parting it out for max value. Often the parts are worth more than the complete unit.

And we probably all have spare bubble envelopes and boxes from delivery services.

Plus you get to learn how it's assembled.

And people will pay more for parts from a 100% functional unit than a scrapped unit of unknown provenance.

Thanks for the response. From the other responses in this thread, it seems like the admin of the nodes/cluster is not overly onerous. Would you agree with that statement? Also, being a .Net shop, the Windows VMs make sense, but is there any tradeoffs to running Rabbit on Windows, as opposed to Linux?

I think part of the sell is how we would manage the admin component of a Message Queue, which tilts things towards Azure Message Queues as it's PaaS. We're mostly IaaS at the moment, and starting to see some of the admin overhead that comes with managing that infrastructure ourselves. We're not ready to jump onto a PaaS solution for the things we've grown accustomed to managing, but for something brand new, I think my company would be open to it.

Architecturally, we'd lean on it initially for background job processing, which is currently at a scale where our homegrown, db-backed solution is starting to show it's weaknesses. Once it's in place though, I think it could leveraged as a key component to decouple subsections our application and give us more flexibility with scaling and deployment.

> Umm, what if I take photos in a public place with you in them and the laws of the country allow public photography?

Here in Germany you are allowed to take photos in public, but you may not publish them in all circumstances. If a person is somewhere in the background it's fine. Also if it's a person of public interest. But you can not just follow anyone in public, take photos of them specificially and publish them. You may be required to take them down. Personality rights exist even in public.

> or posting images which are public record such as mugshots/booking photos?

In Germany (and many other countries) mugshots are not public records.
> During the hiring process, on-call is not mentioned in any way other than the usual salaried catch-all "are you willing to work nights and/or weekends."

It should be very clear what the actual expectation is, though, instead of a nebulous "we may need you to work extra sometimes." It's a guarantee that you will work extra at a fixed interval, and that extra work happens to be psychologically draining.

I ask for quite the premium in salary if I know I'm going to be on call.
Why does an “impact investor” own a newspaper anyway? Does this affect story selection and editorial behavior?

Even universal has winners and losers. How do you deal with different cost of livings between Bay Area and Mississippi?

If the UBI is not adjusted and covers living expenses in cheap areas but not expensive areas, then people might decide to live cheaply without a job. That risks creating slums.

If it's adjusted to locality, then areas will grow and dwindle based on accuracy of those adjustment tables. Which would turn those tables overtly political.
Never fund yourself what someone with 100x the money will fund for you.
You are making my point. If offices were made to be productive, open offices would NOT be a thing.

The fact that companies still pay $$$ for an office in the bay area is for management purposes and making sure that employees are "buts in seats" for 40+ hours a week
You have to wonder if there are Chinese actors within Google influencing these censorships...
Access to an audience is part of speech IMO.

If most of the world's population was on one continent-sized piece of private property, and because it was private property the owners were allowed to censor whoever they wanted, "you can go talk freely on the almost empty island over there, maybe someone from the continent will come listen!" doesn't sound like free speech to me.

I agree that getting rid of algorithmic search/recommendation/promotion would be a big step forward, but platforms for speech of a certain massive size like Youtube/twitter/facebook/etc should also be heavily regulated and their ability to censor limited. They are, due to their overwhelming size, de-facto custodians of speech.
In the US, if you're in a public place you have no expectation of privacy. Someone can take your photo and do whatever they like with it. (This also goes for photos of "private property" that is visible from a public location, which often comes as a surprise to security guards and law enforcement).
motorcycle owners are wealthier on average (this is really easy to google). I don't see really any motorcycles or scooters at all in poor neighborhoods. They generally have beater cars or no vehicle at all.
I'm sorry, but I can't track the point you are trying to make.

I'll reiterate my point that shipping is a cost that has to be paid, but who bears that cost is not necessarily the customer. If it was the case that the customer was the one bearing that cost, there would be a difference in the price you pay for goods at a physical store vs. goods shipped to your home, implicitly or explicitly. There is generally no difference, and in many cases, ship to home is cheaper because you can select from more retailers.
I work for a call centre of sorts.You wouldn't believe the kind of skills people have.
I think the argument going on here in the comments is evidence enough that the title is evidence enough that it's misleading. some of that is just HN's special brand of pedantry, but some people are raising valid points.

> And in any case... I don't understand your criticism at all. If there are more deaths per mile traveled, then every mile driven is on average "more lethal", by definition. So if I drive to the same place I (in the sense of an average "I" across all drivers) am more likely to die. QED.

my criticism is that the average deaths per mile doesn't imply anything about your risk on a typical trip for you. for one thing, the excess deaths could all be pedestrians, and the deaths per mile for drivers could be the same. in particular "So if I drive to the same place I (in the sense of an average "I" across all drivers) am more likely to die." is not implied by the information in the article, because a very possible explanation for the increased rate is that people are not driving to the same places.

let me try to construct a counterexample from my life. in normal times I drive 20 miles each way on the interstate to commute to work. once or twice a week, I drive a mile to the grocery store through a dense urban area. for the sake of the example, let's just assume the interstate has much fewer deaths per mile than city streets do (pretty sure this is true, but don't want to bother looking up a source). I, like many other people, no longer commute to work, but I still buy groceries once or twice a week. so a far greater fraction of my miles are on high-risk stretches of road. the average risk I expose myself to per mile is indeed higher, but this doesn't imply that driving to the grocery store is any more dangerous than it was before. in other words, it is a fact, but not a particularly meaningful one. it shouldn't influence your behavior.

reporting averages without some context or explanation is not very useful and people who aren't familiar with statistics are going to draw all kinds of unsupported conclusions. another random example: I live in a Very Dangerous City if you go by the overall murder rate. but if you dig into where the murders happen, they are tightly clustered in certain areas. I'm no more likely to get shot in my neighborhood than I would be in williamsburg.
