Yeah, this is a popular saying, but couldn’t be further from the truth for the most successful people.

Generally, they begin with an end in mind. It’s a lot easier to get where you’re going if you know where that is.

Or, as the Cheshire Cat says to Alice, “Which way should I go?” “Where do you want to go?” “I don’t much care.” “Then it doesn’t really matter.” (Abridged)
I'm not suggesting to pay credit card interest. I'm saying you can cover any emergency expense with a credit card which buys you a month, and then you might have ordinary salary or time to sell your stocks before interest is due.

No offense but I'm pretty surprised you commented what you did. Literally my first sentence says "... before interest hits...".
Many creative productions take on a similar structure to what he proposes. Many entities, some individuals, some partnerships, and some corporations, come together to produce a single work. The associations dissolve when the work is finished.

Films, albums, festivals, etc.
Technology based on electrons moving in a vacuum is not considered solid state. Vacuum tubes are an example of that kind of technology - the electronic switches that preceded transistors. I guess free electrons might be considered "plasma state," although that might be stretching the definition of plasma.
>The "we're protecting people from themselves" argument seems spurious.

Because it isn't the argument at all? The goal is to protect your reputation from having malware and ad laced versions of your latest hardware flooding the market (and hitting the news). Users are just a secondary concern.
Both Europe and China are of comparable size to the US, and they enjoy high speed train since decades ago. It won't replace a NYC-LA trip anytime now, but the coastal corridors and various regional hubs (Texas triangle, lake Michigan, etc) are perfectly sized.
I don't have any detailed knowledge of it, but I've seen various similar comments based on this article and similar ones:

this is funny
Yes. This is why Moon, Mars, etc colonies are important - it is like small startups wrt. BigCo which is our Earth civilization reaching the state of disfunction.
We aren’t talking about premature optimization, we are talking about Google forcing customers to pay to be spied on. Assuming there are ~100 million Android phones in the US and this is costing individual consumers ~10$/year that adds up to 1 billion dollars per year across the US.

Which seems like the point of class action lawsuits and far more significant than most of them.
A code density prioritizing modern ISA is something that I've thought a lot about too. Would be an interesting possibility in the embedded space. I think that there are certain tricks that can be used to speed up the realignment problem, too.
Not nothing.
I would contend that 5 year EV is probably higher in tech than across all of finance unless you manage to get into only the MOST exclusive megafunds (Hellman-Friedman, Silver Lake, Bain Cap, or Apollo, as most are coming in as associates in 200-300k range) or exclusive HFs (Viking, Citadel, Elliot) and even then, you're usually on a 2 year contract or up-or-out plans. The HFs will need to see you perform well to get anything more than base and your bonus (the chunk of how you get comped) will be at the discretion of your manager anyway.
I can understand, but this view would also defeat any effort to improve data privacy..? Following the thoughts of contextual integrity I think such an app can help achieve the level of transparency/control needed, instead of claiming complete ownership of private data/secrecy?
I'd like to agree with the comment above yours that how communicative you are being and the openness about issues combined with the transparency of the project really raises my and probably many others' opinion of the project and that if you continue this way, it's really looking bright!
Are you assuming you make L6 IC/Manager by 30? Realistic, but not everyone does it.
I was obviously referring to Samsung.

As for ASML, if it were the key to Intel's woes, the article we are all commenting would not have been written.
This is always true, every time, 100%. The UIs that people here are wishing hadn't changed were absolutely hated when they were announced.

In a few months we'll be able to have a more measured discussion about the good and the bad, but this reaction now is par for the course. Every UI change I've ever gone through has sounded exactly like this on internet forums when it happened.
> don't want to let you install apps unless they can get a 30% cut.

They both allow free apps.
...you become _identified_ as one of "them", by users such as kgog.
The cleanability problem for the instant pot is more the ring that the lid attaches to, which becomes an instant crumb/liquid trough. Not that big a deal but still easy to let lazily accrue into an unsettling (and potentially malodorous) food science experiment.
> If it seems confusing, it's because it is. That's the point I'm trying to make. I have seen — several times across a number of projects — people writing code with a philosophical ideal along the lines of "well, this page should only know about the state (a subset of the model) that it is responsible for, so I won't give it the whole model. Also it will only send the messages related to just this page. Oh, requirements changed. No problem, I'll just add another part of the global state as an argument. Oh, requirements changed again, and I need to send a global message. Hmm… I'll just… etc"

But... none of that, as far as I can tell, gives you a signature that looks like this? Even making the kind of changes where you think "okay, this is an ugly hack, if I'd known about this in advance I'd never have written it this way, but I don't have time to go back and do it properly so..."

If you've genuinely seen signatures that look like this, then my sense is that the people who wrote those functions have different problems than the one you describe.

Maybe I'm pulling on something that turns out not to matter here. Like, if you've experienced the problem you describe, and you just came up with an example silly type signature that turns out not to really work as an example, then fair enough, that's not a big deal. But if this post was inspired by seeing type signatures looking like that, and trying to explain those type signatures, and trying to come up with advice that will prevent them, then I would guess the advice is mistargeted. Or maybe I'm missing something and the process you describe really does lead to a signature like that, by people who are generally more-or-less competent; I don't say that it couldn't happen, only that I don't see how it could.

(I disagree with the sentiment "If it seems confusing, it's because it is." If people who lack a certain mental model repeatedly make the same sort of mistake, and generate something that seems confusing to people who have that model, it can be extremely helpful for the people with the model to figure out what's going on so they can try to share the model.)

Did you, perhaps, mean something like

updatePersonalInformation
: PersonalInformationMsg
-> Model
-> Result (PersonalInformationModel, Cmd PersonalInformationMsg)
(Model, Cmd Msg)

? That would let a person say "this branch gets to update the global model, but all the others can stick with local changes and I just need to wrap their return value in `Err`".

(Which is still silly, just start the function with

let local : (PersonalInformationModel, Cmd PersonalInformationMsg) -> (Model, Cmd Msg)
local = ...

and wrap the return values in that. But I can at least see what someone would be doing with a type signature like the `Result` version.)
There is a big difference between “treated as porn” versus “this part of anatomy is specially evolved to be inserted into the mouth of an infant, so we don’t care if you show pictures of that exact scenario”.
If this million dollar threshold had been made clearer, I imagine a decent chunk of the people who are upset by this change would have reacted differently.
This whole release cycle is just one gigantic facepalm after another.

I am feeling pretty heavily smug that I got rid of my Apple kit earlier this year because I wasn't happy with the direction of the platform.
You generate one password per client (i.e. app-based).
But practically speaking, currently it is at the dead end:

Results like this are highly speculative and unfalsifiable.

There is no unifying theory in sight.

String Theory at this point is essentially a pseudo-scientific cult (see Lee Smolin’s book for explanation).

Further advancements require experimental energies we can’t afford.

Any advancements are unlikely to produce practical results, like stable bridge or working GPS.
Facebook is not Internet, that is right. But the decision that applies to Facebook can apply to anything on Internet within the reach of the Austrian state and, piece by piece, that means almost the entire Internet. Saying it is just a Facebook incident is very short sighted, many people could not care less about FB.
When you say punted do you mean you stopped running your own mail servers?
Is a tax or regulation incentive race to the bottom really a bad thing? The residents of those jurisdictions that end up without much tax income and the externalities of the lax regulations so they would suffer and pressure their government to increase the tax and make the regulations stricter. Eventually, it should reach an equilibrium where those things are "fair" as determined by all the participants in the market. Jurisdictions would also have the ability to tax or ban imports from places they don't like. Maybe this is too much of a libertarian view? It seems to be the default state of the world though. What are the alternatives besides something oppressive like using military power to prevent other countries from taxing their citizens too little?

Did Washington residents really prefer not to have Boeing at all rather than the tax-incentivized Boing they got? Wasn't it up to them in how they voted? Sometimes they do reject it, like how New York rejected Amazon.

Learning Computer Science Will Make You a Better (and More Expensive) Engineer
If I'm not mistaken, using a microwave to heat water is significantly less efficient than an electric kettle; a lot of EM energy is wasted just bouncing around the cavity and heating up the air.
Awesome! Thanks for the reply Matthew!
Bridges are an usability disaster. Most have been unreliable for many years.

On multiple occasions I ended up talking to maintainers or developers due to bugs.

It's been many years and you can barely use the official bridges for IRC and with many limitations.
You can absolutely blame companies, specifically Apple, because many things are not E2EE when they could be.
However, isn't quality of life as a junior hire in both finance and consulting much worse than in tech? Every Goldman or McKinsey hire I know was worked like a dog for their first ten years, while at a FAANG you can generally work 9-5 and still have a pretty successful career.
"I predicted all of this, you know. All of it."

Deplatforming and the cry of "businesses can choose who they do business with" were always inevitably going to lead to the creation of platforms that cater to the deplatformed, even if only because it makes business sense to provide service to the underserved. And, if the cultural and political winds blow the wrong way, it's not impossible for them to eclipse the social media giants they splintered from.

The deplatformers footgunned themselves, all while patting each other on the back.

I've noticed even apart from this there are many people who have a strong emotional reaction against space, using almost moral language to describe their problems with it. It's as if the space is truly being wasted, squandered... that the space isn't being valued for the work it can do, but instead left open for aesthetics in a bourgeois obliviousness to the needs of the proletariat.
To double down on this -- I think there was an era 10 years ago, when working for google or facebook actually impressed the average person.

Now (that it's privacy killing adtech) it's vaguely slimy, maybe not as slimy as being a lawyer, but I don't see it impressing people other than recruiters. Which is probably a good thing, honestly.
Masks reduce droplets and aerosols, by multiple obvious mechanisms. That reduces transmission from infectious people. And even cloth masks seem to have some protective effect.

The easiest way to get infectious people to wear masks is to have everybody do it in high contact situations, there's no need to be fancy about who wears mask during a raging pandemic, so your other two questions don't really need answering.
But there’s an easy fix. I use it with my password manager. To log in to my bank account, I need the correct password. No problem, I keep it in a password manager. To open the password manager, I need the correct password. No problem, I already know it. If I don’t know it, I look it up from a less secure source.

Technically what I’m describing is that you can vary the behaviour of OCSP lookups such that if you’re already looking up an OCSP certificate to establish an SSL connection to an OCSP server, downgrade and check over HTTP only when trying to connect to the OCSP server itself. Yes, it would mean one more TLS connection to a random server. Yes, it would mean an extra OCSP lookup. But just one, and just for the OCSP server itself. Which means privacy is preserved in regards to which developer certificate you’re checking. It would be only checking Apple’s OCSP server certificate in the clear, which it could equally cache easily.
Apple has always been a gated community, but now there’s a guard at the gate checking everything that goes in and out. This is something most users probably don’t want. It has me personally considering what a future without Apple would look like.
What happened in New York?
Yes Epic are bastards too. And Zoom. In fact these days it's wall to wall bastards.

But the end user doesn't care. They bought something and they want to keep it and use it. And that's where the buck stops.
"...subsequent content that national brands aren't going to consider brand safe..."

Ever watch the commercials on Fox News? Plenty of national brands there. (For the record, I'm a liberal.) If there's enough momentum, the national brands aren't going lift so much as a finger to intervene.
That's right. And the community replies with a smug "you can set it up yourself".

And yet setting a full Matrix stack requires days of work and endless maintenance.

I'd rather use Briar or even Signal.
Thanks for the compliment. It is possible to use any other methods to synchronize notes because Dnote stores everything in a single SQLite file. The dedicated server becomes useful for providing a web interface and API access to the notes.
Imagine a cpu that executed this sequence of instructions:

r1 = r2 * r3
r2 = r3 * r4
r3 = r4 * r5
r4 = r5 * r6

On a first glance it might seem that the execution order matters because if you reorder lines in this source coxe the meaning indeed changes (e.g. the first instructions depends on an input in r2 but r2 gets a new value in the second instruction).

But if you rewrite the names of the registers (variables) and use a larger set of registers (variables) then you can express the same semantics without overwriting any registers. If you do so you can run the operations in parallel on different execution units within the same core.

The ability to run multiple functions at the same time is called "multiple (or wide) issue".

There are different kinds of functional units inside a cpu. For example, some can do basic arithmetic but not divide. At any given time, some functional units will be busy or free. The amount of effective parallelism present in the input stream you can effectively use is bound on whether you can successfully map your instructions into functional units that are free at that time.

Often, you while cannot run a given instruction because for example the multiplier unit is busy, the next instruction could be run because it depends on the divider functional unit, which at that time is free.

The ability to execute instructions out of order is called, well, "out of order execution". It depends on the ability to rename registers and keep track of actual data dependencies. The cpu needs some memory to keep track of that data.

It's unrelated pipelining (which I could give a try explaining too if anybody cares to hear a similar explanation)
I had just written a reply about how superheating is unlikely because the water would have to be pure (i.e. distilled), but I looked it up and it turns out that's a myth! So exploding superheated water is indeed a potential risk from microwaving

I don't think the video was intended to explain the technique. It's likely that Wardle is privately reporting the details to Apple Product Security.
This is a red herring, just because FB is arguably doing bad things it does not mean we should accept other actors to do bad things.
What happens when the developer leaves and the app breaks?
Amazon already offers EC2 A1 (ARM64) instances available, and I'm sure Nvidia's purchase of ARM is going to bear fruit in the data center.

AMD's Epyc chips are pretty awesome though too so I don't think x64 is on it's death bed.. but it should be an interesting couple of years watching this space heat up.
Industry behemoths do need near-death experiences from time to time. Intel is not yet near-death. They still have overwhelming market share and it still seems to them that they are "succeeding". Their future will depend on whether or not they choose to get high off their own PR supply.
Has anybody ever said they were real? The word "virtual" seems to imply that whoever is using the term should know they are not. They're just convenient mathematical artifacts.
I think Stripe is one of the few bad examples they could have picked to compare against FAANG. Among late-stage startups, it seems highly regarded and its employees' options are likely to hold real value in the not-so-distant future.

But generally I think the OP is correct: working for FAANG has made many, many people far more money over the past decade than they would have otherwise made on average in a startup.

I suspect that eventually the tide will turn, as it always does. The companies will get middle-manager bloat, MBAs and accountants start pinching pennies, systems get dragged down in technical debt, and more nimble competitors eventually outcompete. But we're not there yet.

Rise of the Open Source IPO
I have had the PinePhone devkit for a long time now and while I am very invested in the project and like to see this optimism, I can tell you that it's definitely not ready to be a daily driver yet.

It's coming along fine though and in a few years that might be true! For now, a great device for tinkering and contributing back.
Don't forget that Apple is a multinational megacorp, and is user centric only when it suits them. Consider Tim Cook speaking at the conference used by the Chinese government to promote internet regulation, saying that the vision of the conference is one that Apple shares, and also the handing over of user data and encryption keys to Chinese servers (encrypted, but still out of their control).
Everything Apple didn’t announce at its November Mac event
It’s about having options. There’s not much downside to taking a job with the most elite/selective/prestigious company in a field you want to work in because you’ll be well-paid and you can jump to pretty much any other company later.

Compare that to starting off at a company that is less well-known in the general sector or less selective — you may be able to jump later to a more selective company, but you’ll have more of an uphill climb.
Precisely. This would require more work, but it would only leak the OCSP server’s revocation request, and would make OCSP both more secure (caching OCSP server validity rather than the original certificates) and more private (due to SSL).

Yeah. I got that email from Twitch too. It was just an explanation about the DMCA as if we didn't already know. What a joke.

Technology was supposed to enable us to do more as human beings. It was supposed to empower us to do what we want. Instead we're wasting it on these bullshit industries that honestly shouldn't even exist anymore. It's become just yet another form of control meant depower instead of empower. The computer is limitless, they purposefully restrict it just to force people to pay money in order to use it.

They're not the true threats, though. The big picutre is government control of computers. Governments simply cannot handle the notion that people are not under their control. Technology like encryption and anonymization are inherently subversive to any government. They will seek to regulate it, just like they're imposing laws all over the internet today.
First of all, I appreciate the response! The examples were good - they demonstrated the flexibility and depth of the tool. I suppose I’m just lamenting the fact that I’d like to use this tool to create a data warehouse for sensitive financial info, but I don’t trust myself to ensure I wouldn’t be creating a massive risk of identity theft, given my level of security expertise.. again, loved the video.
This seems symmetrical to me to all the cases where EU copyright violators or varying US national security threats would get extradited to the US for a trial.
> And yet setting a full Matrix stack requires days of work and endless maintenance.

This is not true. People, don't let this FUD scare you.

My home server has been running for more than a year, was easy to setup (reading documentation took the most time) and takes little maintenance. Just apt update && apt upgrade.

Edit: and even if reading the documentation takes you 'days of work', you can follow a video of the server being setup in 30 minutes, including a jitsi instance for video conferencing: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/04/06/running-your-own-secure-c...

Why is Apple limited bu Open Standards? It's not like any other servers are going to be receiving these messages.
