Government jobs can provide hazard pay. They just don't always. They should also provide compensation for having to work weekends and holidays or non-standard shifts. I'm not sure of how every state works, but at the federal level in the US federal employees are actually hourly workers, even working a standard desk job. There is a cap on the total compensation they can get in a year (see secret service members who maxed out their pay with OT taking Trump on trips in his first year), but if you hit that you're making pretty good money.

Of the states I have worked in as a state employee or knew people who did, it has been mixed. Some hourly some salaried, some have both. White collar jobs (which IT would fall under) were often salaried so that may present issues in getting proper compensation for a job like you describe.

I understand how email works. "Default case" is a matter of interpretation. Most people today use web based email (at least on computers as opposed to mobile devices), and it is much easier for most people to set up and get working than using a native client. The vast majority never think about wire protocols. I have implemented both HTTP and SMTP in C etc back in the day, but that is not relevant here.

Regardless, I said my preference is to use web based email, that's all.

While I agree in principle that intellectual property is somehow fundamentally different from physical property, in the case of the "stolen" book, the creator is not worse off only if the "thief" wouldn't have purchased the book otherwise.

It's certainly true that the creator isn't out of pocket per person who reads the book, but that's not necessarily the same as "no worse off."
Wow, I mean, what a counterintuitive coincidence.

Trafficking in copyrighted works constitutes theft, but a private equity firm buying a company with debt, transferring the debt onto the company's balance sheet, allowing it to go into bankruptcy because of enormous debt load, and paying themselves huge bonuses along the way is not theft.

You might misunderstand what VW did.

Apparently it is common for cars to have a "test mode" bit, because they run on a dyno (only one set of wheels spin), and the car may disable certain traction control systems, etc.

VW changed the way other systems (the engine itself) function in this mode. So even if everything is exactly the same on the road (e.g. 30mph in a straight line for hours), the car will perform differently and have different emissions. You don't drive around on a dyno.

Optimizing for the test may go up to the line, but VW crossed it.
That's also true of WW2 aircraft. Drawings exist for, say, the P-51, but you can't build the airplane from the drawings because the drawings were made after the fact. The real design was the tooling and mechanics.

If you have links to any documents that discuss how to implement this, I'd appreciate you sharing them. The only relevant documentation I can find is regarding FIDO/U2F support and even the release notes for 8.2 mention that "OpenSSH does not currently make use of this [attestation certificate]".
The lawsuit is only asking for damages for 127 books, for a theoretical maximum of $19 million according to https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2020/6/23/21293875/internet... And with books from the last 5 years excluded, and the opt-out, and the fact they were partnering with multiple other libraries and could probably include their copies, the damages the authors could show will probably be relatively small.
Thanks, they really are leaving it a bit late for definitive rules on this.

I think backtracking is firmly in the past because it causes too many problems in practice [1], but I think there's scope for a text matching engine that's built on top of regular languages, but more expressive.

As mentioned here and on lobste.rs recently, regular languages aren't expressive enough for syntax highlighting (or lexing most programming languages in their entirety).

But it doesn't take much to make them more expressive, WHILE meaning these properties:

1. linear-time and constant space

2. Composition by OR

Backtracking fails at both properties. Backtracking is bad. Like you say with backreferences, there should be something more expressive than regular languages that maintains both properties (and it's likely to be useful).

Example of tiny mechanism on top of regular languages:

When Are Lexer Modes Useful? http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2017/12/17.html

https://lobste.rs/s/m24zv1/xi_editor_retrospective#c_p3zadg

-----

Here's an implementation idea for such a text matching engine:

(1) Start with re2c, because it has some different scaling properties than other engines https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23665569

The compile time and code size are linear with respect to the number of patterns. What was very surprising to me is that the compiled C code starts off slower than interpreters, but scales better as you increase the number of patterns.

(2) Write a WebAssembly backend for it. Compiling its C output to WebAssembly is not likely to be great, because it uses gotos on every line, and gotos in WebAssembly need the Relooper algorithm last time I checked.

(3) Now add a linear-space constant-time VM on top. As a test of this property, it should be able to express LL(1) parsing and LALR(1) parsing. Something like "lexer modes" should also fall out trivially.

I believe this strategy saves a bunch of work, and has some desirable properties:

- an entire RE front end, handling captures and such in DFAs: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.08837 . I'm sure re2c is slower than Hyperscan, but as you hint, I think it's also more general and widely used.

- wasm could be more palatable to embed than other VMs. There are multiple implementations of it.

- wasm avoids dealing with C code and assembly code. It has a few high quality JITs.

- The first version of wasm has a ton of limitations (lack of GC, rich interfaces to the host), but this application hits none of them. It's a perfect problem for it.

(I'm also pretty sure this hasn't been done, but I could be wrong. I googled "re2c wasm" and found that it is used in some wasm tools, but I think that's unrelated: https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/github.com/WebAss... )

And it's also significantly different than RE2 or rust/regex, if that's your complaint :)

If any of that is interesting feel free to contact me at any method listed here: http://www.oilshell.org/ (email, zulip, etc.)

This seems poor hiring rather than anything tech can or should solve.

On a general note, Infra could be more like cattle than pets perhaps ? If configuration is applied via version controlled and reviewed automation (ansible, helm , hand-crafted YAML...) perhaps could have been mitigating ? - dev-ops like this is considerably easier on linux than on Windows

However like i said tech cannot solve poor employee choices, setting up and following the systems without bypasses depends on the same employees, so nothing someone with malicious intent cannot undo.

The problem isn't that judges are elected

This is definitely one of the problems. There was a study that showed judges were handing stricter sentences for the same crime during election years than non election years ("tough on crime"). Elections are a popularity contest in a way, even well informed voters do not always make rational decisions.

If one doesn't have elections to worry about, he/she can do their job to the best of their ability without thinking about pleasing anyone or pandering to any one group, just good old honest work. The moment they have to think about elections, things change. What kind of judge would you like to have - someone who is totally honest and fair without giving a crap about what others think, or someone who is trying to be popular?
I don't want to put words in OP's mouth, but I suspect that OP was referring to just like... "you click and something and then wait" type of slow. Something like, taking several seconds to load an issue.

In my case, we were a small team (<10 users, <1k total issues split in maybe 8 projects), and were running into random load time slowness irritations. It never stopped us from doing what we needed to do, but it sure did make it more frustrating to do it. We are using a cloud instance.

You’re right, being a fascist and not being Catholic are exactly equivalent. Great point.
If, as many have expressed, the political ground has shifted* beneath people's feet over time, such that yesterday's "progressive" is today's "centrist" or "neoliberal" (if not "cryptofascist" depending on who one asks)... doesn't it follow that the meaning of "far right" would similarly be in flux as well, such that the label will, over time, come to encompass views that were not long ago considered respectable? (and, implicitly: ought to still be)

*re the political ground shifting -- it's a facile assumption that such shifts are merely emergent phenomena. As wealth and power concentrates over time (as one would expect under global capitalism), the scope for agentive explanations grows.
Assuming you can't just apply for a different role in the company, which is obviously just the easy way.

One non-confrontational way is to look for other managers and see if you can show them your value. e.g. do a small project for one (or a few) you like and show them the value of having someone like you on their team and then push for one of them to open a role for you etc. This is a very successful way to do this in larger organizations and it makes it non-confrontational with your current manager so you don't create issues while you are still working for him/her. Of course, if your current manager feels you are disloyal that is a different issue, so you have to be smart how you do this, but it can be very good way to move around. BTW if you do this, you essentially are creating the role so you have to define your value and what you can bring to the team since many times "managers" are not very visionary and are more task focused. If you find a real leader then that is totally different and would generally be a better fit, but sadly middle management has that name for a reason.

Other options exist of course, just one idea.

I propose an alternative.

Start including the effect on other cars in crash tests.

In other words, yeah, if I drove a frickin' monster truck, yes, it's going to be extremely safe for me, but it's absolutely deadly to anybody in a sedan. So that monster truck should get low crash test scores.

Your answer merely creates an arms race of larger and heavier cars.

The thing that has me bearish on cpu manufacturers in general... From what I understand parallel architectures vastly simplify the overall schematics of CPUs in general, while retaining the power-saving benefits.

As we approach the critical velocity (supply / demand) for parallel architectures, the prospects of bootstrapping a CPU manufacturing company will become extremely feasible. IMO currently it's mostly the specialized knowledge needed to design CPUs that keeps this mostly out of reach today.

I'm no expert, just have an interest in the space, so any dissenting opinions / facts welcome.
So in your opinion, if I petition a court for permission to kill my neighbor "because he's really annoying", and for some reason the judge says yes, he won't be held liable? Because I disagree. Judges do not have the ability to blanket "bless" actions so long as someone petitions for it. You have to look at the specifics of the case.
I don't understand what you mean. We're talking about a piano keyboard by the way, not a typing keyboard. The browser uses it via the MIDIAccess API, and simply sets up a callback for MIDI codes, such as noteOn, noteOff, etc. I have used it extensively.
> Meanwhile, pointing at memory latency as the flaw in Ryzen has been a popular misdirection for a while now.

How is it a misdirection? The data is accurate and memory latency scaling is a well-known issue for simulations like e.g. games (which is a huge market for high end desktop CPUs and also the market 90 % of reviews address), where you can't really explain the performance differences just by higher clocks. It's considered the main reason why much older Intel CPUs can still outperform Ryzen CPUs in games.

On the other hand, if you take something like Cinebench you can literally turn XMP off (thus using JEDEC timings and bus speed) and still get almost the same score (within, say, 2 %). That's because Cinebench is benchmarking pretty much only ALU throughput. That's obviously an important factor for performance, but just as obviously not the only one.
Totally agree with you here, not to mention the venues looking at this as an opportunity to boost their direct marketing lists. It's our view that all that is required to contact me is a phone number - so that's all we collect!
It certainly is creative, and not abusing data is commendable (and I am sincere). We would not be in this situation if websites were better behaved overall. However, I necessarily use heuristics informed by my experience, because I cannot afford the time or money to do a background check for every site or app.

> I would see acceptance into a top-tier journal - or even a reputable journal - as a very, very strong signal.

Not anymore, I'd say. Both The New England Journal of Medicine and Lancet were fooled by the Surgisphere scandal, and they didn't even notice the statistical errors, let alone the fabrication of the data.

Lancet took years to remove the Wakefield paper on autism and vaccines, and still has other papers with questionable statistics up.

What I consider a strong signal is good data with clear conclusions and well-outlined limitations (these are often as important as the results themselves). Peer review can help with that, but it's not a magic bullet. In that sense top tier journals can be "dangerous" because sometimes they focus on good storytelling instead of presenting the data correctly.

What's your question here? The premise of the OP is that they created a fast issue tracker.

People complain about Jira being slow (me being one of them.) No one has claimed that all issue trackers are slow. ClickUp, Hive, Linear, are all snappy.

That's a pet peeve of mine. A perfect estimate is one without bias. It can't be without variance because there is always uncertainty involved in what needs to be done exactly.

So if you take an estimate and turn it into a deadline, in the perfect case, the deadlines can only be made 50% of the time.

Of course, in practice there is bias, there are things you forgot to include in the estimate.
Yes, the probability cloud tells you how the hydrogen atom (H-O-H) will be shaped. The atoms will be repelled by the electrons that create this probability cloud and this will force the atoms into a geometry with minimal energy (which is the shape you are probably familiar with). Just remember that it's a probability so the shape isn't set in stone, it's more like the most common shape. A common way to learn this is by implementing the Hartree-Fock algorithm.
