I see this as a great way to speed up manual code translation from a language to another.

Something like DeepL [1] but for code, where you can select one of several possible translations to translate a section of the code, rewrite part of the translation and have the algorithm take them into account for the rest of the code and indicate some prefered translations.

You cannot replace a human translator but you can certainly make him much faster and automate the trivial bits.

They didn't make that mistake. They tried to shut down 8kun, repeatedly. So many times that 8kun was able to harden their services with the assistance of the DOD.

I always wondered why the military was helping 8kun. [1]

We do have some scientific insight because we have several control groups, aka accelerators.

If it wasn't mostly luck, accelerators would have an improved success rate, because they are selected by experienced people based on judgement calls about their likelihood of succeeding [0].

Accelerators actually have, at best, a very minor improvement on the base success rate.

Therefore we can safely conclude that startup success is mostly luck.

[0] Of course, this is using a definition of success that is more than just getting investment. I would define it as "becoming a sustainable business". But that would exclude things like Uber and Twitter that are not sustainable (yet), but are undeniably successful.
Yes, but Flash was owned by Adobe, while Flutter is owned by the same company that controls the HTML and HTTP standards, so it would be better fit.
>Recommendations AI is based on technology that Google says it uses to deliver recommendations on its own products, including YouTube and Google Search. The cloud company says retailers can use the tool to replace or complement existing recommendation models.

Hopefully some people write their thoughts on this after exploring the API. I have a rather general interest in algorithimic-powered recommendations when compared to human curated, so it should be interesting to see how this functions. This is assuming that, despite Google using it across a number of service types, Recommendations AI is not solely aimed at product purchases.

You're right, working to reduce discrimination at source is undoubtedly worthwhile. But data does not exist in a vacuum - it is collected on behalf of, and used by, people.

Until we reach zero intolerance nirvana, you can't ignore that personal data collection at scale simplifies discrimination, and also opens up new methods for discriminating. Will there be benefits to society from personal data collection at scale? Of course. But there are also costs. There are plenty of examples of people whose ideas or products became used in unforeseen ways and regretted their actions.

Discrimination should be suppressed at source and systems that simplify its manifestation in the real world should be handled extra carefully.
I have seen this problem very closely across multiple firms and environments.

Just a few points that I would request you to dig further.

1. Quick immutable envs aren't so much of a problem for B2C apps. Particularly for B2B apps, it's not just the "run-build--pull-image--deploy--start-svc--share-url" that's the real hard part. The real hard part for B2B apps is the test data - the sane dataset which needs to be replicated as well, per environment. Nobody wants to use a test/staging DB where changes are uncontrolled. Bottomline - Immutability isn't just at the app layer, has to cover the test data and stateful parts (datastores) too.

2. What's the real value of it? One possible way to figure out hassle-to-value ratio, is the ratio of number-of-commits to number-of-builds, and the ratio of number-of-builds to any number-signifying-quality. If more builds (=> more number of envs cropping up, and brought down, that is a high rate of env churn) do not mean increased quality, then anyone choosing such a solution is really just doing it for the sake of feeling self-important or sounding smart.

One really has to be keenly tuned for the real business value, while validating fitment of such tools for the org/business.

Happy to discuss more. I have been designing/building tools like this, as a day job for quite some time.
From a founder's perspective, being able to take good advice first requires separating "good advice" from the "bad".

Security by obscurity is roundly discounted when there's an obvious way to do it right. For example, you store your passwords BASE64 encoded in the database, when you could be using scrypt.

When there's not an obvious way to do it, you have to fall back on the chouices that you have. The choices for a psychiatrist seem to be not have a blog or online profile at all, or run one under a pseudonym.

You are missing a lot of places Rust is used in a “substantial or crucial” way. For example, the core of AWS Lambda and Fargate are both Rust these days.

It is true that there is more Go usage than Rust. But there’s a lot more serious Rust usage than you’re implying.

Rust has https://lib.rs/once_cell for this. It's a wrapper type that ensures something can be written to only once, atomically, and after that it's immutable, so it can be shared freely.

It's not a program-wide stage, but it's sufficient to use it in `main()` to make it behave like that.
Great piece of work, seems to focus completely on NewGrounds, which, as a Flash games developer from 1999-2009, I had not heard of back in the day. There were Flash games EVERYWHERE from b3ta to Orisinal. We wrote games for clients and were paid for doing so, and these often had decent marketing budgets behind them to popularize them, had competitions attached and the like. The biggest was for LBi and British Gas, Generation Green, where we threw everything including the kitchen sink at the game, Box2D, particle emitters, level editor for our game designer, everything. It was pretty amazing. In the end I was working on Facebook games for Square Enix, which was - for me - the beginning of the Free-to-play genre but monetization behind the surface for extras. What a time. Way more fun than it is now.
This, so much. I love being asked for advice, and love handing it out. It's so much easier to see the problems in someone else's business than it is in my own. Whether that's good advice or not is debatable.

And as an aside, about the "right people" to get advice from: I love that concept of finding a mentor who is only just ahead of you, and therefore is solving the mistakes that you're just about to make.
It's interesting to note that the only terminal I use that rendered the VT-100 torture test perfectly is Apple's Terminal. All others balked at double height/width.

Few implement a full set of ANSI SGR commands. VTE and Konsole are the only ones I found that can do overlines (useful in status lines).

Also odd that so many people reinvented wheels - when sixels, Tektronix, Minitel, NAPLPS and others were available, people still invented new "standards", to the point standards became mostly useless.
I totally agree. It's so important to own as much of your content on the web as possible. That's why CMSs like WordPress are a great solution. I know WP has lots of issues, and that's why we created Strattic: static and headless publishing for WordPress websites so you can easily and quickly create content, but not worry about security and performance. https://www.strattic.com
Very much agreed! I feel this dwarfs the reasons listed in the original post (maybe with the exception of #1).

For every piece of advice available, I can find you an equally credible person saying the opposite.
The resistance movement in Norway, during WWii, targeted and blew up the citizen registry, because it was used for evil. Any database we build now could be used like that. Now they are easily copied, so we won't be able to blow them up when it's already too late--we must avoid building them.
There is a nice video listed below with a pilot of this plane (in russian but with decent english subtitles), he answers to this question. Wheels indeed deflate (not blow) occasionally, this happens when breaks overheat and special thermal plate (at 200C) melts and deflates the wheel gradually, which works as an indicator of overheated break/tyre. Since it happens gradually, there is no danger for the plane itself. The parts for this plane are not that common (they may be shared with An-124 though), so apparently it is easier to carry few wheels than wait for their delivery. The plane caries 10 m.tons of equipment anyway just to load/unload the cargo, so few wheels probably are not that much of a deal.

Yep. I've just picked up a few second hand HP EliteDesk 800 G2 desktops with the intention of turning them into a homelab for k8s learning. They have AMT and the web power control, VNC based KVM and SoL work well.

There is no BIOS serial redirection, so SoL is no use until the OS starts booting, and grub has a bug[0][1][2] which means it can't find the AMT SoL when booting in EFI mode. But SoL works fine as soon as the kernel starts, and the KVM VNC works fine during BIOS and GRUB if I have an emergency.

One gotcha which would catch someone out who wasn't expecting it - the onboard video disables itself when no monitor is connected, so the AMT KVM just shows a black screen. This can be solved by DisplayPort or VGA "ghost" dongle in the back of the machine to talk EDID and pretend to be a screen.

I'm a big fan of conserver, and intend to use it in this project to spawn amtterm processes to connect to the SoL ports.

In one of his appearances (maybe on the Fridman's show) he gave an example of being overly attached to outcomes of elections wrt to success of your favorite political party (being frustrated and sad when the party/president is not in power). His idea was that such feeling are not conductive to your wellbeing, and you should maybe do something about them, (just guessing: rationalizing it, meditating it out or somesuch).

I don't think being sad about reproduction choices of your children is beneficial, therefore I'd also suggest dealing with it. In the end it's just influence of your genes saying 'go, do something, talk to them, we need to be replicated'

This quote by John Young of Cryptome sums up the dark truth of the state of cybersecurity:

" Wonder how long it will take to reveal cybersecurity is a Ponzi racket.

Profits from commercial harvesting data of online users now exceeds the total funding of all the global spy agencies, with a healthy chunk of the steal bought by official spies and law enforcement which ignore the violation. Edu, orgs and NGOs part of the rotten racket."

Essentially, every major data breach is planned by the "good guys" having a stake in criminal ops.
God, I'm so tired of hearing this: "debt is currently cheap to get, so for the government not to invest would be rather unrational".

Debt is cheap BECAUSE we had a financial crisis, BECAUSE we let people who shouldn't have indebted themselves indebt themselves.

There will be grave consequences an suffering in enabling inept people and corporations take on more debt.

Thank you so much for the answer.

I have already begun The Body Keeps The Score and is actively looking for a therapist now.

The perpetual cycle of overreach, then crash certainly deepens the negative self talk - the fact that you can't tame yourself through excessive discipline while ignoring "how you actually feel" (ie. often like complete trash because you ARE crashing) certainly doesn't help the "neurotic behaviour/emotional armour". But i somehow thought i could "plough through".

The suppression of real emotions seems like a perfectly reasonable explanation for why you become so tired/worn out. Also you get used to ignoring the negative self talk because you feel like it makes no sense from the intellects perspective and you have to "perform professionally" or whatever.

One thing that has kept me from really going in this direction has been the observation that 3-4 days in bed with only my laptop has been able to "heal" all of the pain and fatigue and tension in the body - if done before for example an important meeting i end up completely calm, extroverted, like another person or "the real me", but the "tension" and fatigue soon returns. Such a weird and labyrinthian process. I guess it has to do with the fact that the negative self talk quickly returns and i get burned out again very easily.

Anyway, i guess the way forward is not ploughing through with a tense body and an "ignored" mind. Sounds almost stupid as i write it out like this, but here we are.
Much more complex to get started with compared to what Ghost? Really? Almost all shared hosting services offer a single click install of WordPress, I don't think ghost is anywhere as simple as that to install(for a non tech savvy user)

WordPress has improved a lot in the past few years in terms of security, "worpdress is insecure" is an old meme. Sure if you just go on installing any plugin under the sun, there can be a risk. But the stock installation of WordPress with just a handful of reputable plugins should be good. Much of the slowness comes from the oodles of plugins that people install.

For speed, there are many great and free caching plugins available for WordPress which can considerably speed up your site.
This is also one of the problems with people believing in the inherent superiority of free speech.

People take free speech as always benefiting society, where good ideas are destined to win out in the end, when the reality is that it depends on if the system encourages good ideas to spread while inhibiting the bad ones. A system that rewards people disseminating bad ideas would result in a weak society.

The biggest issue with CSS I think for many is the emergent complexity from the interaction of different properties. Especially those inherited through the cascade. Much of this emergent complexity is not always consistent cross-browser.

Additionally, there are often many ways to accomplish the same result but fully understanding the implications of certain approaches over others is also a headache at times.

Speaking personally, something touched on in this article, is that many things don't really make sense to me or at least I don't find them intuitive - and I've been working with CSS daily for 14 years. It does often feel like a scatterbrained, horse designed by committee type of thing.

It's like CSS only makes sense when you learn to see the problem through the eyes of whomever specced out that particular feature, which can also be said for trying to read CSS written by another developer.

I would strongly recommend getting a copy of "The Deficit Myth" by Stephanie Kelton.

Those prices might stand up for contractors -- but are a bit low to bring in a commercial outfit, at least for any of the larger reputable security consulting businesses. Would suggest starting prices would be closer to £1000 a day. And rates are significantly higher in the US.

Accountability and consistency is a real concern in crowdsourcing. There is a reason we dont spend too much time designing an idea and then crowdsourcing all development. Why would security be different?

For me the hard part is remembering all the arbitrary rules and special conditions. Most tech "makes sense", once you get it it has system that helps you to remember stuff.

Css has semblance of system, but mostly it us a lot of rules with no rhyme slapped together.
I cannot speak about about dev jobs, but as ex-FAANG myself (only one of them, so experience may not be applicable at all), maybe I can offer some insights.

Things at these companies are moving slow, because they are behemoth. Upside, when things move, they move faster than at any other big corp I now. they also tend to move if not the right than at least not the wrong direction. Also a big difference compared to other big corps I know. FAANG also turned into a political nightmare at times, office powerplays are a daily occurence.

One thing you definetly can learn, is how thngs should be run, FAANG are good at what they do. Learn whatever you can, try to understand why things are done the way they are before judging.

After all that, FAANG is not for everyone, I left after three years. The sooner you realize that, the better for you. Being one year in is not that uncommon to quite, there is alos no shame in doing so. If you can stick with it, regardless of the current economic situation, I would stick around for another one or two years. You are at the beginning of your learning curve.

If you want speed, pick a job at a start-up. From my experience you will get the other side of the coin: speed replaces planning, politics are still the same and SOPs are replaced with chaos. I know what I prefer.
Ex Amazon here - and I know a lot of people in other FAANGs.

On this kind of topic I try not to generalize across a whole (large) company.

Things can be different across teams, offices, cities and countries within the same company.

In my experience "no work gets done and there's no motivation to do any" is the very opposite of what I've seen.

My suggestion: get out of the team bubble and talk to people in different teams and geographical locations.

EDIT: on second thought, I don't want to speculate, but if the team has serious productivity issues the hammer can come and hit the whole team in future. Amazon, generally speaking, tends to push people to either grow or leave.
