I think people misunderstand the SV salary situation. If you are a mid to senior level, you are pulling $400k annually, with daily pings from recruiters at Facebook, Google, Netflix, Airbnb, Instacart, Uber, Twitter etc., cost of living is the least of your concerns.

Lived experience, while important, should be treated like anecdotes.

While anecdotes are valuable, the plural of anecdote != data.

Should we help people whose lived experience is worse than ours? Absolutely.

Does the mere existence of people whose lived experience contradicts that of the aggregate majority suggest that we ought to upend our systems? No, and that's the point.

In general, when we see (overwhelming) empirical outcomes that don't confirm our priors, we ought to shift our priors. We do this in the context of climate change, there's no reason we shouldn't also do this in the context of the economy and labor markets.

I recall from Chemistry: When hydrocarbons combust, the outputs generally are CO2 and Water.

Driven home by living with a gearhead after college. At least some of the liquid dripping from tailpipes is water.
Yes! And there are some steps in the Ruby community to pull in a web-of-trust as well. It's just frustrating that it didn't happen from the get-go in language after language.

That said, I applaud the Debian folks for putting in the work early. Not just in the web-of-trust, but in many aspects of software security.
Who is "we"? And take over what? Backend web development? Hardly--that's still mostly PHP. The most sophisticated pieces of the most sophisticated internet application ("web") software are generally written in Java, C++, or Go (some Erlang, some others, etc., but mostly those). "Big boys"? What does that even mean?
Today a similar discrimination, of some people, based on birth, in government jobs in india, is held together without violence, unfortunately.

Thats what I am trying to say. You can never be sure, and it is only when you attach the context of them being Indian and his experience in India as a "lower caste" person that you arrive at this conclusion that the invitation must be extended to figure out his caste.

And that makes it a very bad anecdote for an article like that, and in general weakens the point the article is trying to make.

It wouldn't be the first time - I should have phrased that more speculatively - tnx.

So perhaps a feedback loop? Both an effect and a cause.

As "that isn't us - we don't do that - it just isn't done" norms weaken, the available "jumped on" response perhaps does as well.

I wonder how good the research literature on strengthening civil society and institutions is?
Interesting talk...one quote, however:

"How much functionality is added to Facebook year after year? It's not that much!"

This is in support of his argument that per programmer productivity is approaching zero, due to the over-use of abstractions.

Facebook is and has been hiring top talent software people for years, and in large numbers, but most of them aren't working on https://facebook.com/ or https://instagram.com/, at least in any visible way.

I've been programming on a nearly daily basis for over 40 years now, and my total productivity has never been higher. Not primarily because I'm smarter and more experienced, but because the tools available to me are just awesome.

I can write a functional app that allows a hand full of the billions of people around the world to interact, and I can do that in less than an hour, and on the cheap, perhaps even free.

40 years ago, that would have required a lot of time, up front money and ongoing maintenance costs.

There are countless examples.

I'm not dismissing the hazards of abstractions and the freakish amount of complexity that we face today. And I agree that a lot of it is done wrong.
The goalposts have shifted from "having enough food to feed ourselves" to "having enough exotic spices."

Even if we took that argument as compelling, it doesn't explain why we should subsidize wheat and corn instead of said exotic spices.
The way I look at it: Excel has near-infinite space for the user to grow. Almost all its advanced features are easily discoverable, but they don't interfere with basic work. People get to learn Excel as much as they need or like, and the more they know, the more kinds of work they can do with it.

Contrast that with many popular SaaS products, which seem designed around capturing a particular workflow and building a shiny structure around it. This allows new users to complete the desired workflow with nearly zero learning - but then they can't do anything else. There's no space to grow.

It feels like a fundamental difference in thinking. Excel is like a box of tools. Initially you only need to drive a few nails, so you grab a hammer and start pounding. Over time, you'll figure out how to use every other tool around your house, swiftly and efficiently. Modern SaaS tooling is like Juicero. Beautiful on the surface, extremely inefficient and wasteful (and to think of all the engineering hours behind it!), and at the end of the day, all you can use it for is squeeze some DRMed juice until eventually the company folds and you're left with an expensive paperweight.

I mean, the number of products I've seen that would be more ergonomic if implemented in, and distributed as, an Excel spreadsheet, is getting too large to even call it funny. Sometimes a smart business embraces this analogy literally. Ever heard of Palisade? They're leading the information security risk modelling market, and their product is literally an Excel plugin. And, having worked in this space, were I a CISO, I'd chose them over the various startups that've been popping up over the years, simply on the grounds of ergonomics.

So by all means, design a good onboarding process. But it's good to have something to onboard people into.

(Excuse the rant.)

> If you do a worst-case analysis, hash tables just degenerate to a single linked list ... That's where you have 0(n) performance.

Even under a best-case analysis, hash table lookups are O(N) when using a single hash function. Assume you have a perfect hash function such that the N inputs are equally distributed among K output values (each of K gets (1/K)N values). Lookup will be O((1/K)N). O(CN) = O(N) for any constant C. (1/K) is constant, therefore lookups are O((1/K)N) = O(N).

> Out of that, we can compute that hash table operations are on average constant.

The only way you get constant time is if the number of collisions is bounded by some constant. That's not possible for arbitrary N when using a single hash function and constant K, as shown above.

Actual implementations try to improve performance by rebuilding the hash table as more items are inserted, using a new hash function with larger K. This can keep the linked list sizes bounded by some constant, which means O(1) lookups but at the cost of rebuild operations which are at least O(N). (Note: The optimal hash table is one in which K>=N with no collisions.)
That would certainly help to stop the spread of Covid, but if everyone followed your advice, we would very quickly find ourselves with an entirely new set of problems.

You can't optimize only to stop viral spread. You have to strike some balance between maintaining normalcy and reducing the risk of spread.

Covid has killed a million, and will surely kill many more, but global poverty is going to increase this year for the first time in decades, and tens of millions are going go hungry.
Darn. That'd be very disappointing.

Don't have heroes. They'll only disappoint.

In all likelihood, those people are under pressure from their bosses. They need the appearance of everyone being there and working hard. For some people in managerial positions, any kind of data showing the employees still working won't be enough... They want to see asses in seats and all at the same time.

I've had to work under many executives like this and it's pretty annoying. They can't be reasoned with.

Oh and the faster your people work - the worse it is for people who rely on headcount for their job. They can't justify a larger headcount if everyone is working efficiently...

Hey thanks for your answer.

I'm less concerned about scale or not managing my own cluster, and more about the mechanics of how this is implemented. Is it something like:

- User configures an ordering key

- Application sends a message w/ ordering key "4"

- Pub/Sub gets message w/ ordering key "4"

- Pub/Sub buffers "4" until it gets a message > "4"

- Application sends a message w/ ordering key "13"

- Pub/Sub sends "4"

- Pub/Sub buffers "13" until it gets a message > "13"

I just thought that the lack of order was in inherent tension with performance because you need a buffer to order things. Am I wrong about that (probably)?

Some can be seen on demand, others, they’ll give a repeat date. These are fascinating, and be warned, they can swing from happy to gut wrenching. There’s one episode where they’re in a Home Center talking to kids about their projects and the next they’re talking to a guy about kitchen tiles. He talks about his wife always wanting a new kitchen, but he was always too busy... and now she’s dead. So he’s working on the kitchen in her memory.

It’s an introspection on a society that is fraying at the edges. The producers seem to be trying to communicate that. As Krugman says, if you want to know our future, look to Japan.

It’s really convenient actually that the virus is fake here while it’s real in the rest of the world as it means people were able to give up on the social distancing and masks and such, which they were very eager to do.

It seems to have stopped transmitting from 5G towers if the physically very close gossip is any kind of barometer for these things.

> If Ubuntu was the ultimate distributor of every Flatpak on their system, they could also recompile and update the dependencies for those Flatpaks whenever a security risk was discovered.

If Ubuntu was the ultimate distributor of every Flatpak and had the means to recompile and update the dependencies for those Flatpaks whenever a security risk was discovered, they wouldn't need Flatpak. They could just maintain the software the way they've always done before.

Consider what the advantages to Flatpak really are.

1. Anyone can publish them (low standard of inclusion, which I hope isn't Ubuntu's goal)

2. You can easily distribute closed-source software with the exact dependencies they were compiled for (which Ubuntu can't change unless they have access to the source code and its maintainers are willing to provide that charity to closed source software shops)

3. You can easily install the software on any system with a recent enough kernel (Ubuntu being the sole provider wouldn't change that)
Not scoping a variable properly (causing a variable to leak out to global scope) could also cause this.
Not sure if sarcasm or genuine opinion.

Dockerization of Golang Apps
Even if the specific act of letting the extension run is the fault of each user and presumably means they each violated Facebook's ToS, they can probably sue the extension makers for bribing the users to violate the ToS.

Each user only chooses to install the extension, the extension makers choose what data to scrape and I'm sure at least some of what's scraped truly belongs to Facebook, not their users or customers.

If a Facebook account can be considered a technological barrier protecting intellectual property, they could sue under DMCA anti-circumvention provisions. The users installing the extension could be accomplices but they're not really the ones scraping and collecting the data.
Fine, but having managed lifetime, it also manages memory, leaving nothing worthwhile for GC to do.
The "1g" in "zlib1g" is a version. Dynamic libraries can have multiple versions which can be installed in parallel. zlib hasn't changed much lately, so there's only really one version that matters, but this does come into play for other libraries. For example, LibUSB has libusb-0.1 and libusb-1.0, both of which are widely used.

librust-libz-sys-dev is a Debian package for a Rust library that's literally called "libz-sys" [1]. Why the developers of this package decided to call it this and not "zlib" is a question for them, but Debian packages libraries based on the language's own name for the package, not its own reinterpretation of those names.

If the levels/code are passed in plaintext and simply parsed by the app, it is hard to argue it is different or less secure than sending photos in Instagram or playing a game of chess. What is passed may be parsed by the app but it is contained and limited by the boundaries of the app.

The app store is much more concerned with stuff like apps that update themselves to install payloads or change the approved app on a fundamental level.
I believe libz is the name of the library file for zlib, and libz-sys is the rust library's name

I agree. Any kind of borrowing nowadays seems ill advised, what with the economy crashing and everything.

What's with the downvotes? How is the economy doing fine when the fed spends 6 trillion dollars in 3 months? Are you people seriously so delusional that you think everything is fine? Just because amazon and target are okay? A healthy national economy of 141 million people would have more than 12 businesses in it.

It's perhaps the most pernicious misunderstanding of calories on the internet.

All calories are not created equal. Even just taking the same ingredient (say, an apple) and preparing it (say, by sticking the apple in a Blendtec Blender vs eating it whole) changes the amount of calories available for absorption.

While this is all perfectly valid, some appear to be missing the implication of headlines like these as the US enters the fall season. It's a common time for seasonal allergies to present themselves (I'm dealing with them right now), and colds and flu tend to start spreading around this time.

People, being the way they are these days, will see headlines like these whilst having a stuffy nose, then immediately freak out when they realize they can't smell quite as well as normal. They won't take in the nuances of what it's like to lose their taste senses due to COVID versus other causes.

Regardless of how intentional these outcomes are, the media are well aware of the risks and are being rather cruel - not to mention, careless - for engaging in these practices.

That person who freaked out with the stuffy nose is now more at risk of catching COVID by forcing themselves to go to a testing location unnecessarily, thereby increasing their chances of exposure. Not a productive outcome at all.
Disinformation. Some people have a stuffed nose and cant smell as well from that, many people can't smell or taste with the flu without a stuffed nose, way before covid was ever a thing...
