They'll be on the same fork as everyone else who didn't update, which may in fact be the dominant fork.
Largely depends on the people, the team, and the area you work in.

For areas that need to "just build" you'll probably see massive performance improvements. People in their internal accelerator Area 120 this is probably great for them. For people who need to play politics, get buy in, and do a lot of team-based collaboration you'll likely see a massive hit. I'm assuming this is going to really kill a lot of their internal infra stuff that needs to do a lot of meetings to make sure things are backwards compatible and get buy in on decisions.

Although, I've worked with many people with very bad social anxiety who I'm guessing are doing fantastic in a work setting right now since they've developed the online communication skills from talking to a lot of people online throughout their life.
Was just thinking the same!
I assume you're using ZFS filesystem for the transparant compression, what's your opninion/experience on using ZFS on cloud storage? I mean; the EBS disks are already redundantly stored by AWS and the COW mechanism could lead to a lot of write amplification; negatively impacting the network attached storage?

(I don't use EBS in my day job, but Azure's disk offering don't really offer adequate perforamance when used with any filesystem other then EXT4 in my experience)
> Of course it’s just a gesture.

Yes and no. It'a a gesture because it's hard to conceive the government would agree. However, in the extremely unlikely case they agree, it's unthinkable the volunteers could chicken out. They must have already fought the battle in their minds, imagining the consequences of a month spend in a jail in Africa - if they are not stupid they know everything could happen. Personally I admire these people a lot.
Why do I see an identical message under a different username?

The number one life skill, based on my own experience is, Self Inquiry (Who Am I?) based Meditation. Know that you are not your body or your mind, but the Awareness or knowing that observes all your thoughts, sensations, feelings and perceptions.

I worked at Aph for a while, and did one of the video games (Roulette).

Hal wrote a Basic interpreter to fit in 2K of ROM. To save bytes, it had only one error message:

Still my favorite error message.

Of course, all of us at Aph were idiots. We had everything needed to make a killer consumer microcomputer, did not, and missed out on being billionaires!
If it's been debated so much and so obvious, a reference should be trivial to supply. That it isn't doesn't point towards someone else's laziness (how are they to know what aspects of the arguments you think are correct and which are "confirmation bias?), but instead towards the topic probably not being as decided as you seem to think.
It's multiparadigm and suitable for writing scripts. (I learned this by going to the project's homepage; I had never heard of this language before).
Yeah I appreciate your thoughts in this realm. It’s balanced. Good to think about. I am of the perspective that it’s all a whole and interactions within a whole create observational effects. I don’t think there’s an absolute answer as much as the consideration of being able to maintain multiple perspectives of thought as equally valid depending on the need.

Distinction is almost strictly a utility of communication. But that could be expanded into language and mind itself and gets meta quickly.

Maybe my poking is more related to an irk that language itself being used is in the context of finality and truth. Every sentence is a statement of absolute truth. No wonder everyone argues endlessly over what is.

Again. Appreciate the reply.
My 48GX broke at the bottom of my bag in college, so I replaced it with a 48G. The G is still going strong, and I continue to keep it at my desk today.
Ask HN: Today I sent a voice message on WhatsApp and my screen went black
I British citizen speaking to a cambodian citizen via whatsapp. I sent a voice message on whatsapp saying "is it true that in the provinces that old women suck the babies cock for good luck" - lots of things happen in the countryside out there and I'd heard it from expats but never khmer citizens

Now directly after sending that voice message on whatsapp my android's screen went blank twice in quick succession almost as though something was being loaded onto the machine...

Look I'm all for governments going out and catching paedophiles and yes I realised I could have hit some key words which could have triggered something but I thought whatsapp had e2e encryption.
It make absolutely no sense that these armed morons with badges are even touching this naked, handcuffed, and head-bagged man - let alone murdering him.
I really like the idea of setting your MX record to 127.0.0.1. I am not sure what problems this causes (the author mentions people are angry about it) but I like it.

This makes me realize that DNS is slightly flawed in that you can prove "the owner of example.com wants to accept email at X.Y.Z.A" but not "the owner of X.Y.Z.A wants to accept email for example.com". (My experience using a managed load balancer on Amazon was that I got a ton of traffic for websites that weren't mine. Some DNS record must have been out there pointing towards our IP, which I guess is bound to happen when you only have 2^32 of them to share among all of humanity. Someone should do something about that...)

I do live in the USA. I used 100kph because that's the car under discussion.

I've never been to a drivable wilderness area, or on a freeway where I'd be comfortable going all that fast. And if I was going there just to drive hard it would probably be rare enough that I'd rent a really nice fast car.
Wouldn’t a doubling of all squares (and replacement of one of those with a block where walls existed) do it? (It’s not clear that you could totally reliably do that in your head while doing whatever other editing/creation task was needed, but the naive algorithm seems pretty straightforward.)
I just left a position where the lead engineer was misleading the team manager and would threaten to get folks fired for stumbling upon the deception. I think team managers need a modicum of technical knowledge, or else there's room for this sort of dysfunction.

There is nothing more challenging about schnorr signatures themselves, but 100% of the lauded "advanced" things that can be done with a schnorr signature over ECDSA-- such as threshold signatures-- as substantially more complicated and error prone.

Until recently (or still) pretty much none of them had production usable implementations anywhere for any application, and most academic coverage has mostly been a glib "trivially you can do that"-- ignoring that naive "obvious" implementations end up being completely insecure.
This is very neat

You can say that about water too. You can literally die if you drink too much water because the electrolytes get diluted too much⁰.

Sure, but it has to be put into context.

In countries with a state religion, blasphemy is an attack to the very foundation of that state. Secular countries have similar laws and concepts. It can include hate speech and flag desecration. Some monarchies have lese majeste laws that are similar in nature.

In fact, blasphemy and hate speech are very similar. In hate speech, you will, for example, insult the ancestry of your fellow citizens. This is not considered acceptable in a society based on equality, and generally can incite violence, and therefore is illegal in some countries. In blasphemy, you insult the religion of your fellow citizens, this is not acceptable in a society based on that religion and can incite violence, and therefore is illegal is some countries.

Other laws that can be related to blasphemy are related to fictional child porn (ex: lolicon). Real child porn is a product of rape, so it is understandably illegal, but lolicon is essentially blasphemy against the sacred "purity" of children. The idea that it can cause distress, incite actual child rape, etc... is the same idea as how blasphemy can cause distress for believers and incite others to not follow the (religious) law.

Note, as an atheist, I am against state religions. I am also in favor of freedom of expression over protecting people feelings, especially with such harsh punishment. However, I am not Nigerian, I don't know their culture, so I won't give them lessons when it comes to their internal affairs. I can only disagree.

The unfortunate reality is that many mitigations are written by people who are not aware of the state of modern exploit development, or are so focused on protecting one particular subsystem that they become (in a relatively good case) myopic of other things that can be used to render the mitigation moot or (in the unfortunate case) interfere with or provide a side channel to bypass some other mitigation. Be wary of software that ships mitigations just so they can list it on a slide, or one that sounds overly cool or clever or custom. Consider that what's sold to you as "defense in depth" may actually mean "here's one more critical piece of code that can't be buggy, and if you break this you can also own the system".
Nonsense. For example, making copies and exfiltrating classified documents from the government office where you work is an example of illegal theft (and other crimes).

Except not if the taken documents reveal criminal behavior that you have a higher statutory duty to report.

You are just creating a lazy false dichotomy between situations that are black and white, but you’re just talking into the wind and your point is still straight up wrong from a legal standpoint.

Whistleblowing is not stealing - literally, in the legal sense. Actions which might be illegal if they don’t result in the revelation of a greater crime can become literally legal actions if they are performed due to a higher statutory obligation to blow the whistle.
This has happened to me previously on FB. Had an account, of my first and middle names, that I'd stayed up to get when they released that feature on FB. Both short names like LeoMark. Woke up one morning and they'd changed it to LeoMarkus, and given the old account to someone. Pretty sure something similar also happened on LinkedIn.

Was pissed off at the time but pretty happy with no Facebook account these days.

Biggest advantage of being in an office over being fully remote is that a non-trivial portion of work includes things which should not be documented - convincing some stakeholders, navigating inter-/intra-team politics, catching your VP for a quick 2 min resolution while he is walking to the cafe to quickly grab his lunch between his back-to-back-to-back meetings, observing body language to infer what your colleagues are thinking about but NOT saying etc.

This is particularly true when you become more senior and replicating that over Zoom is nearly impossible. There are things you simply don't want to put in writing or say over Zoom which are most certainly monitored by the company. And if there are some colleagues who are in office and some who are remote, the ones in office have a massive advantage when everything else is the same.
UVB is what causes vitamin D production, and UVB doesn’t penetrate the atmosphere when the sun angle is below about 50deg, so if you are not out when the sun is high enough, it doesn’t help with vitamin D

I just left a position after being threatened with these layoffs. I was 2nd most sr. in the engineering team and left many incomplete projects. They canned the rest of the team and moved to outsourced labor.

> we either fail to deliver the work we commit to

Given how hard it is to estimate software dev (for oneself let alone for a team), I think the speed with which your team produces quality code is more an emperical observation reflecting your team composition and dev/QA processes rather than a commitment you make. Especially so when the team is new and young.

> or deliver work that ultimately fails the QA process

How many layers of QA/QC do you have? For example, you can think of 4 layers: 0)
spec/ticket/story author 1) code author, 2) code reviewer, 3) pre-release manual integration QA (by testers).

These are very different activities (eg reviewer may not actually run code but could be able to tell by looking at code that something's wrong) with increasing cost of fixing issues at every layer. If you leave most of your QA to the last step you end up with a lot of hours spent fixing bugs while you could have avoided most of the same issues (and more) if, say, devs had clear instructions for testing their code and a solid review process.

It's theoretically possible but the change is so drastic and required in so many countries I really don't see it happening. For instance in the US, even if the Democrats get full control, eliminate the filibuster in the Senate, and decide to pass something more extreme than the Green New Deal style legislation that's floating around at best that'll stick for 4 maybe 8 years at the outside.
This shouldn't be flagged IMNSHO.

Lots of cases here in Spain but hospitals are generally coping fine (with Madrid being a bit of an exception at present in that hospital numbers are rising as well, but are currently manageable).
Luckily I don't live in the Bay Area or California. I live outside of a major city and just deal with a longer commute most times.

I'd guess the super inflated Bay Area pay is likely going to deflate but the average global pay for SWEs will inflate as those companies start looking for people who can add the same value as a local employee for a reasonable price. Where I work we've been hiring engineers from outside the US recently and we've been giving them US-like salaries which are massive jumps from previous local jobs they had in their country.

I'm assuming other scrappy companies who are in a growth phase right now are doing the same. This is likely especially the case if you need to wisely allocate capital.
The option I suggested, Render, is essentially the new Heroku. It's focused on dev experience, run by ex-Stripe people who worked on their infra and it's much less expensive than Heroku has been post-acquisition.

If you want something managed that requires minimal time worrying about infra, they're a great choice. For something that truly requires low costs per user, I wouldn't use them but they make a ton of sense for many projects.

And to be fair, AWS also has some serious limitations in terms of price scalability compared to a VPS like Digital Ocean or Linode: https://questinglog.com/costs-are-part-of-scalability/#just-...
Prime doesn't really have much in common with the RPN or RPL calculators. It has a legacy RPN mode suitable for four banger operations but it doesn't integrate well with the rest of the calculator. More of an afterthought.
Supreme Court cases are usually over arcane technicalities of law. Knowing how to craft an argument towards the interest of one of the judges matters. Not only for arguing the case, but for getting the case on the docket.

Stop managing the team. No 1-1s.

I’m pretty sure PlugWalkJoe is behind this. Someone here mentioned the “dead” account on IG and I remembered, for some reason, Krebs talking about that in his article about the Twitter crypto attack. Either this was a SIM swap or someone in that group has gotten access to IG internal tools just like they did Twitter. I’ve Tweeted @dannyjhall about this.

Dear Techies,
Thanks for educating me on Tech...actually almost none of your comments had much meaning for me, a user. I’m not even sure how I got to this site. Not your issue.

The comparison between “reality” and Tech was revealing. If Tech mimicked reality there would be no fewer glitches but I think the nature of those glitches would be more understandable to the average user. Traffic slowing a page loading, moose on the roadway (download won’t actually do anything), no power to signal lights (display goes dark), those sorts of things.

I imagine the real world mimicking Tech would be more alarming. One might wake up and head for the bathroom when your closet slides in, blocks your path, and asks if you’d like to re-paint it. You decline and it forces you to respond with “We can talk later...” In the meantime, your small appliances clamor for you to perform maintenance routines. You wade through them into your bathroom when you realize there’s no longer a commode, there. You no longer have the administrator permission to use that device. Your phone rings, it’s the developer that built your house asking you to leave the doors unlocked tonight so their maintenance crew can rebuild some parts of your house.

Wait until you try to get to your mailbox!

I, user, don’t really hate Tech. I just wish there was rule in your industry that required products to work WHEN they’re released. Not after endless bug fixes or security patches (Yes, I’ve read the standard BS notices) which make me think, “...this one fixes what they did last time...”

Tech is like having cats. Entertaining, sometimes inspiring, but requiring so much attention and resources that it leaves you wondering whether it’s really what you want.

NOTE! Cats won’t warn you when your power company’s Tech will decide its unsafe for you to have their services.

Let me reiterate. There is no god. If there is one and we have evidence of Her, let her show herself and lay a lightning on me. Oh wait, there is no god. Now then, most gods (or the fanatics that self proclaim that they are the chosen ones on this earth) tend to write books etc that either speak of love or of hate. I am the kind of stupid that I prefer the love over the hate. We can find a million reasons to hate one another. I prefer to go with the one million reasons to love one another. Thus my god = love.

Either way, this discussion is moot since there is no god :)

Definitely. I consider myself a pretty technical guy. But my job is to be a manager and I cannot focus on good technical decisions when I have to pick between them and getting something done.

My point is that it's not just about skills but which slot you fit in to make sure everyone is representing all the various aspects that lead to good overall decisions.

And as you say, I'm only even talking about the best case where everyone is competent and reasonable.
