They can do a lot worse than $0, reputation is enormously important. If you have a reputation for screwing over founders, then the next super hot startup that can raise from anyone they want is that much more likely to raise from a competing fund instead. And the power law distribution in startup returns makes it such that being able to invest in those few huge successes is all that matters at the end of the day for these funds.

There is a lot of money chasing those, and this is one great way to stand out from the crowd.
What plan ?

seems to be another piss poor written article from the mainstream
I'm with you. To me electronic voting machines means you've given your democracy to the best hackers. "Hackerocracy"?
I just tried plugging my monitor into a right hand socket on my 2019 MBP, and it worked fine for me.

On my machine it is true that charging on the right is better. Charging on the left spins up the fan.
>OpenBSD

Don't bother. OpenBSD's performance is atrocious. I hear dragonflyBSD actually has first-class multiprocessor support, and have always wanted to try it out.
One of my favorite benefits was the ability to take a 3 month paid pseudo-sabbatical.

You had to spend the time doing some sort of work, but it's flexible. It could helping another team out (intern style), focusing on a useful side project, taking a trial run at a new role (or just walking a mile in someone else's shoes), or volunteering with a non-profit ("technology pro bono").

You needed 5 years of tenure to qualify (it's not an annual thing). I think the bar is a little too high, but I understand the intent – looking forward to it was definitely a source of motivation and factor in retention during my fourth year.
My experience (went to a small liberal school that nobody recruits at) is that it makes things easier for your first job, but doesn't matter at all after that. Even then, grads from my college end up at Google/Apple/Facebook pretty regularly.

This is at all relevant only for getting into the interview process, which is something that is largely handled by recruiting. Once a candidate makes it to a phone screen with someone like me, where they went to school has no bearing on whether they move forward in the process.
This is going to be awkward and then it'll eventually become pretty good. From Apple's perspective, they're making the right move to their own CPU design. Apple has always been about controlling the user experience and by bringing it all in-house it takes things that were out of their control (Intel) and allows them to increase their vertical integration, unifying their product lines, and increasing market differentiation.

It's been clear for a while that ARM processors have hit near desktop performance and it took the megacompany of Apple to push it over the edge.

I'm a dedicated non-Mac user at home, but at work I always chose the MBP option over the craptastic Dell PoS that'll start turning into broken plastic pieces within a year or the latest Microsoft offering which seems to suffer from endless software and driver struggles.

The software story will take a while to work out, but Apple has made this transition TWO times before, which is astonishing. Nobody else has done this successfully. Part of the reason is there is simply less of a need among Mac users to maintain backwards compatibility and simply far less software to carry forward. Even then, it appears that Apple has done some kind of magic to allow older software to work on the new architecture without too much fuss -- I'm awaiting some benchmarks!

(This will hopefully push more of the industry to look at desktop ARM systems)
Now all the Jewish Zionists run the entire mainstream
wow what an ignorant thing to say, you're aware that USA, or western wealth in general comes from labour exploitation of countries you claim to siphon money out of it? If everyone in this world was to be paid according to their contribution there should be only a handful of rich entrepreneurs and innovators, and Americans should be paid at most 5 times more than, say, people in China, if they really are 5 times more productive.
NIFs run without most (all?) of the safety features the erlang VM provides, such as memory safety and scheduling. If the NIF crashes, the entire app (aka, VM) crashes.

This is anathema to some...i dunno..philosophies? expectations? of Erlang/Elixir.

NIFs written in Rust (via Rustler) should never be able to crash the VM. Unlike NIFs written in C.

Rustler brings other quality of life improvements, like easier interop (decoding/encoding values to and from) and managing the cleanup of objects that live in Rust but are referenced by Elixir.
How? Usually that would require a layer of virtualization that checks all syscalls to filter out the naughty ones.
At least you can read the code, Apple's libs are closed source. You have to resort to reverse engineering techniques to fill in the documentation gaps.
Yes, all normal sites should allow you to use WebAuthn without attestation and should default to switching it off. Apple's guidelines recommend enabling it, but that's bad advice.

Attestation only makes sense if you'd actually reject authenticators you don't trust, which might make sense if you're the Foo Corp. Corporate System and you only trust genuine Important Security Inc. authenticators because you issued one to every employee and so that's another safeguard against attack (it prevents employees sidestepping security like those webcams showing an OTP key output). But for a public site and especially if you actually offer other less secure alternatives (like SMS or TOTP) it makes no sense to even ask what type of authenticator I'm using. I always tell Firefox to refuse to answer.

However, the attestation certificate in that x5c field isn't a unique identifier. So basically Microsoft learns that these two users have bought the same brand and maybe (if that brand sells enough volume to make it worth changing out the EPROM or whatever in batches) the same batch, but it's supposed to be at least 10 000 different authenticators sharing "your" attestation.
Except this isn't a black swan pandemic, at all:

SARS-1 2002-2003

MERS 2012-2015, on-going

COVID-19 2019-2020, on-going

Those are all deadly coronaviruses. After 3 pandemics, mankind finally got around to working on vaccines.

And it wasn't "fragility of our public health systems", it was CDC refusing to fund vaccine research for 16+ years.
Would moving the offending piece of code into an external, developed elsewhere, plugin work legal-wise?
If yt-dl had a standard generic way to load external plugins to adapt to various sites, that would shift the responsibility to the external plugin which then could well be available through safer places than GitHub.

Recently bought a Thinkpad E15 Gen2 with 24 GB of RAM for less than $1000. (Different country though (Japan), and ~6 week wait, but extremely reputable retailer)

* As to how that deal worked, I'm guessing that large retailers that agree to buy a lot of laptops get a large discount.
Oh hey advice from the passive aggressive guy. 6-12 months? I definitely kill myself within 2 months if nothing works out.
The Frank Sinatra piece singing "It's bap-bap time - you know what that means!" over and over had me in stitches.
I read a print version of the NYT recently and the feeling I got was quite different than the web version - mostly in that what was being pushed on you was "news", not opinion. Almost all of it could be described as "These People Did This Thing In This Place". It was great actually, dispassionate and informative. The editorials were packed away somewhere in the back, not worth looking for. A very different experience than the web version.
Maybe they really really don't want professionals to buy the 1st gen M1 Macs, because we have the toughest use cases and will shit on it the hardest if something goes wrong. Lack of 32GB seems like a pretty clear signal.

The Mac has turned into a very nice luxury-consumer business. It is a status signal even if its just used to check email and watch YouTube. It's a pretty smart idea to let these users be the gen 1 guinea pigs.
Can’t believe it was $12!
IMHO, the 737Max should be forced to serve in non-passenger service - e.g. courier shipping - for a number of cumulative flight hours (e.g. 5,000) before it goes back to passenger use.

Given the huge rise in shipping during the holiday season this criteria could be satisfied by the end of the year.
It’s fascinating how random selection plays an essential role in the election. The final phase’s selection isn’t random, but many intermediary phases are.

I think randomness is an underrated tool for introducing a sense of “fairness” to problems with strange power dynamics: where everyone is interested in a fair outcome, but the best outcome for any individual causes some harm to the group.

Salary negotiation is one example. Imagine haggling over the range start or range size, and then picking your salary from a uniform distribution contained by that range. I wonder how the distribution of (un-)satisfactory outcomes of this system that would compare to the one we have today.

It’s also interesting to note certain parallels to structures existing today. The group stage draw for the UEFA Champions League comes to mind.
More and more I perceive Apple to be relieving themselves a #2 on their customers' heads while telling them that they should be thankful and enjoy it.
“My point here is, everybody, richman, world leader, scumbag and good people etc, they can all make their speech sound nice and smart and reasonable, you just need 5 episodes of JCS Criminal Psychology to get yourself to understand that, deeply.”

Watching 5 episodes of a TV show will most certainly not give you the eloquence of a JFK or a Martin Luther King. It comes from repeated practice, and in some cases a natural aptitude.

It takes a lot of effort to master the art of rhetoric and getting your point across.
Ah. So that's what's going on right now.

I feel like the cycle is almost finished and I'm about to be hung out to dry.
> Imagine haggling over the range start or range size, and then picking your salary from a uniform distribution contained by that range.

I cannot imagine anyone, ever, being happy with being told "hey you're great but you only rolled a 4 on your salary negotiation so you're $15k out of pocket.
I still don't understand why any news org has an opinion page. The two have nothing to do with one another.
I'd love to, but IME it's unstable with more than a handful of participants and doesn't offer stuff I need, such as breakout rooms.

Unfortunately, Jitsi isn't a viable solution at this point except for 1 on 1.

What is the person buying a laptop supposed to do about that?
MBP will have a fan, so presumably it will avoid thermal throttling (or throttle less).
That was twelve years ago.

Do you think equally-bad bugs haven’t made it into upstream projects directly? Hell, many downstream patches exist to fix security bugs.
IME the physical issues I've seen are entirely operator/technician error.

I've really not seen any issues inside my wheelhouse. I feel for the devs having to codify abberant voting procedures.
In a lot of the world, they don't really have unbiased newspapers. Except for the BBC, newspapers in the UK openly fly their colours for example.
The epidemic of mental illness isn’t from an abundance of arrogance, it’s from an abundance of low self esteem, anxiety, and depression.

most people’s egos are very fragile. No need to bust their bubble prematurely, except to correct technical and serious inaccuracies / understanding of the world for their own benefit.
Instead of penalizing change, why not encourage it? When you work from home, you don't put anywhere near the carbon into the atmosphere that you would commuting. You also spend a lot less on lunch, and you don't need to put your children into state-run schools that are really there to function as daycare centers as much as they are to educate.

If all of that office space in downtown areas stays dark, and the zoning laws are altered or removed, it can be redeveloped into housing that's actually affordable.

We really are running into a wall on the methane crisis, and we we simply don't have the time to integrate these changes at a slower pace.

Let's focus on changing our regulations that prohibit building neighborhoods for pedestrians. Let's work on getting homes with solar roofs and big batteries. Let's get drone delivery everywhere. Let's electrify the transport system with electric cars, electric trucks, eVTOL aircraft. Let's tunnel underneath and between cities and connect them with hyperloops. Let's connect people in rural areas with low-cost, low-latency satellite internet access.

Doing these things will directly provide a great number of jobs for a great number of people. It will make a great number of new jobs possible. It will improve the natural environment. I think this is a much more positive direction to take than to try to slow things down.

Oxygen + solid matter.
What is oxygen? Rejuvinating: maybe vacation, maybe relax more in the work day.
What is solid? The "why", though I don't think I quite got the phrasing. Seems too easy just to have direction and motivation- although, what else could it be?
In not too old medical books, they often referred to a man's "fire" as part of his overall well being. His hearth and happiness, et cetera. In some sense his gall; or gaul: how he carries fire... or his gall bladder?
Trump's attempt at forcing a sale of TikTok to an US company is state-sponsored banditry.
Overall I have positive feelings about my 2019 16" Macbook pro, and USB-C on both sides is definitely part of that... However I have yet to find a decent adapter that will both charge my laptop and output 4k @ 60FPS. I've gone through several iterations now and the closest I've come is a monitor that can connect via USB-C directly, but even then the power output only outputs enough juice when the machine is near-idle... I'm looking forward to the day when I can have a 1 (or even 2) cable dock setup that won't run me $250+. Until that day, I have to use all 4 ports for:

- Charger

- USB C (4k display)

- HDMI (4k Display)

- Ethernet
Top Remote Worker Network Observability Challenges
To be clear: the dispute over the history of BPF/eBPF is not interesting, and I don't want to litigate it anymore than they do.

I'm just here to say that eBPF and BPF are in fact pretty closely related. The eBPF design is uncannily similar to Begel, McCanne, and Graham's BPF+ design[1]; in particular, the BPF+ paper spends a fair amount of time describing an SSA-based compiler for a RISC-y register ISA, and eBPF... just uses (at this point) LLVM for a RISC-y register ISA.

Most notably, the fundamental execution integrity model has, until pretty recently, remained the same --- forward jumps only, limited program size. And that's to me the defining feature of the architecture.

The lineage isn't important to me, so much as the sort of continuous unbroken line from BPF to eBPF, regardless of what LKML says.

Can anyone help me understand this part?

> Dropping privileges means that the daemon temporarily forfeits its root privileges, adopting instead the lower privileges of the user. Ironically, that’s intended to be a security precaution, the goal of which is to protect the daemon from a malicious user who does something like symlinking their .pam_environment to /etc/shadow, which is a highly sensitive file that standard users aren’t allowed to read. Unfortunately, when done incorrectly, it also grants the user permission to send the daemon signals, which is why we’re able to send accounts-daemon a SIGSEGV.

What’s the recommended way to drop permissions while blocking the ability to kill the process (sure you can mask off SIGSEGV but SIGKILL isn’t maskable)?

Also, the wording makes it sound like you can re-acquire the original permissions which I thought is impossible. Isn’t dropping permissions a one-way operation? I would have thought there was some usage of fork here but the usage of `pidof` and 1 result in the write up would imply no forking. Maybe a link to the source here would be sufficient for me (I don’t see one in the article or in the thread here).
Can you expound on the difference between “safe space” and “unsafe space”? I don’t think I understand what these words mean.
As a fellow ADHDer I feel like it makes me a lot better at what I do because I do it all the time because I just can't switch off. By the same token it constantly makes me run myself into the ground. It's especially bad if there are deadlines that mean not only can I not compartmentalize work and switch off, I feel the feelings a lot more too, but can never be sure if the random desire to rage quit due to $todays_small_yet_significant_grievance is signal or just noise from the emotional dysregulation.

Currently getting properly burnt out for real right now and debating whether to stay and try get things back to normal after this project or just leave early next year with this job having been nothing more than a shitstain on my career.

I'm so torn.
I am bullish on better time-series systems, but why would I use InfluxDB IOx over Kafka?

I can choose whatever memory I have available for each topic/partition to do a query - or KSQL to transform topics.

edit: I should say that I can recognize a few benefits from columnar memory and lower level management with Rust, but it would be a huge infrastructure/tooling shift for a regular CRUD API shop or one that has already invested in any eventing system IMO.
I have definitely gotten bored of the web in the past, but it was all while doomscrolling. Ironically, I am on more screen time than ever before, but I lost the boredom by disconnecting from most of the feed-based services.
Why doesn't NYT establish a separate "woke" section?

It's not like NYT can't publish bias; it has the Opinion section. NYT has grown into a media empire and is pumping out more content in more areas than ever before. Why not just create a new "woke" section, where progressives are given more reign over what to publish and in what tenor?

The erosion of journalistic standards in Newsroom and Opinion will ultimately bring about its downfall. Those standards are the reason why so many people subscribe. If the standards fall away, eventually some other outlet will come along upholding those standards and siphon away the subscriber base.
I wonder what Facebook or Google's "poll" numbers would have been if they decided to run one? Given their access to search, texts, social media posts, emails, tracking, etc along with their profile of a large segment of the population, I'm guessing their polling data would be the most accurate.
InfluxDB stores individual events e.g. error occured at 11.01am whereas Prometheus stores the aggregates i.e. number of errors occured between 11.01am and 11.02am.
Will the comparisons (M1 has a 3.5 times faster CPU than the previous MBA and similar comparisons for the MM and MBP) help us figure out what is the actual difference between the processor performance between the 3 systems?

I want to use that analogy of endless busy work to break away from your analogy in saying that:

Maybe there is a breakaway in replacing parts bit by bit to build the fast car you want that can shift into the gears you need at the moment.

IDK, sometimes you're just going to be washing a lot of dishes.
