Exactly, very cool but unsurprising. The Wikipedia article starts:

Wgpu-rs is also going down the rabbit hole of re-inventing the world: in addition to implementing WebGPU and targeting all the GPU APIs that are available, we are also trying to do all the shader translation ourselves now (project Naga). I hope to not be burned by this.

Would you rather someone find it and report it to you, or sell it on the dark web / exploit it?

Making this kind of research illegal only makes sure the end result is always the latter.

The design process was rather long. The major task was to connect programming with fantasy world, and to design a deck that is helpful in many ways. First it should be practical. That is why there is a Python deck, but also Java, Javascript, C# and PHP. Secondly it should be fun for one person to play with, but also for up to four players. There were a lot of taught design decisions to make. The final result should spark the imagination, give satisfaction and show programming from a wider perspective. A fantastic journey that gives freedom and a way to express creativity. The way I see what programming is.
This is actually the big area where I think the criticisms are right and fair. Dropping 8 years was uncool.

Moving to Stream is an option immediately (see post[1] for more information about how CentOS is NOT unstable or "the new Fedora" or whatever else everybody is saying), but there are also forthcoming announcements about new free RHEL subs for individuals and edu institutions and the like. I don't know anything about those. I personally think it was terrible to announce the CentOS changes without those to accompany, but hey if I ran things everything would be perfect :-D

Where are you going to go to sell it? are you going to go find some tor hidden service with a forum that you can post your exploit on and hope that somebody will give you some bitcoins for it? You think that those are not under heavy surveillance already? The "black market" for this kind of thing is way overblown. And if you think you can just go sell it to some nation state, think again. That's an easy way to end up in a federal supermax.

I think part of this is that the people who use IDEs then prefer the actual code to be dumbed down to the point where the IDE can both understand it and then is required to manipulate it; I hate programming in Java because it is a language kind of designed to make it hard for me to build my own rapid abstractions... which of course would break the ability of the IDE to parse it at all much less refactor it; but, I then argue that the more powerful code abstractions obviate the language flaws that required "refactoring" in the first place. And to me, that is a way in which I feel like IDEs are awkward and harmful, but it is almost more at an ecosystem level than at the scale of a single person.
Ok, thanks. Does redpanda do some kind of auto anti-affinity on hosts for partition group to spread across remote cores?

ps. redpanda link from article is broken, goes to https://vectorized.io/blog/tpc-buffers/vectorized.io/redpand... 404
Is there any real concrete — or at least scientifically backed — reasons why we’re continuing to see numbers rise, in spite of more lockdowns in place and more people (supposedly?) wearing masks vs. in previous waves where the spread and deaths seem lower than now?

This is especially baffling considering how much more prepared we are (or should be?) and how much more we (should) know about the virus now vs. before.

It seems like one or more of the following is happening:

- Actually fewer people are wearing masks, or are wearing them less vs. previously

- Even though lockdown mandates/recommendations are increasing, they’re not being followed/enforced as much

- Masks aren’t as effective as we think

- It’s spreading in other ways that we’re unaware of

I’d love an ELI5 of why we’re continuing to see record numbers of positive test rates + deaths + hospitalizations, in spite of (again, supposedly) more diligence with masks and lockdowns.

To be clear, I’m a strong believer in wearing masks and staying home (I almost never leave my house, and when I do, I’m wearing a mask), but it’s baffling and a bit frustrating to see the numbers continue to rise without anyone seeming to have answers as to why.

I’ve been on calls almost like this. What you get are solutions/sales engineers accompanied by sales. They’re all generally helpful, including the engineer to engineer conversations. I’ve even been in a position where a representative of a vendor worked directly with us for months, yet the same issues kept coming up ultimately leading to the project being scrapped.

This point is truly worthy of an article or domain name. People here ask why there is so much “hate” for Chrome, but forget something important, that it doesn’t fall out of the sky.

More and more I find that sites / apps work badly on my FF or Safari. It’s truly shameful and that IS my why absolutely am disappointed with Chrome and devs who can’t be arsed to do the work for other browsers.
The odds that such a simple set of rules would create a message with no mistakes seem impossible. Bible codes just look for a short sequence of meaning hidden in chaos, ie a few 5 letter word patterns hidden in 1000 pages of gibberish, which are almost guaranteed to exist in any large body of text. In contrast this solution requires the whole message to make sense, which is much more entropy.
Granted! But it seems less of a case in the SaaS B2B horror stories that come up frequently.

I never use Chrome really and decided to try it. I figured it wouldnt actually make a difference, so I didn't try to take any tests etc to see before and after.

But, subjectively, my computer post-restart is MUCH more responsive and e.g. firefox is MUCH faster. WHereas it would take like 30-45 seconds for fx to load all of my pinned tabs, just now it loaded in like 5.

I don't know what is going on, but I definitely notice a difference. I honestly expected this not to work, and was really surprised when it did.
you might want to ask them where they're going now that no one wants to touch red hat with a 10 foot pole?
good advice. "apt-get install apt-rdepends" and it becomes possible to work out the reverse-dependencies of packages.

by counting the numbers it becomes pretty blindingly obvious what the critical dependencies are. as mentioned in another post above, bash and glibc6 are blindingly-obviously high on the list... yet the GNU Project receives an unbelievably low amount of funding despite their critical importance.

likewise, this particular bug in binutils ld, which centres around the incredibly short-sighted "4GB should be enough for anyone" removal of Dr Stallman's memory-resident algorithms in the late 90s, is having some very serious consequences:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22831

yet because there's no money not even from redhat nobody's looking at it.

likewise: PAM no longer has a proper maintainer, and hasn't had for... a decade?

these are projects that people are relying on yet completely forgetting they're a critical part of the infrastructure!

why? because, just as rhencke said above: they're not on github, they've not got "unnecessary changes" which are counted as "activity to be glorified and worshipped".

abharya: i heard on slashdot the intent to start from github, to exclusively focus on github. this will turn out to be a serious mistake.
> It hardly qualifies as drama when your OS fails to remain completely stable and dependable for more than a decade and a half

Isn't stability and dependability the precise reason of CentOS popularity? Do you have any source on it not being stable and/or dependable?
A "market" needs a bit more than "is worth something".

What multiplier of the $7500 bounty would you want for the trouble of committing a crime? Who's the buyer (FB afaik doesn't buy a whole lot of publicly traded companies, so it probably needs to be someone who can get into the deals, and quickly)? How do you find them? How do you convince that buyer that your deal is worth the money and the hassle of committing a crime? How do you trust the buyer? How do you handle it if the hole gets closed before the buyer can profit? How do you value the risk it gets closed before you got your deal? Does all that work out in a way that you really don't want to take the bounty?

People buying backdoor access into companies probably happens occasionally, but it's probably not the easy high-profit thing compared to bounties many people think, but rather on the level of selling account information by the dozen for a few bucks - and for something like that you'll burn them quickly.

I'm going to say bogus is too kind a word many times. There was a famous academic troll[1] that revealed some of these humanities for the make believe they are. These people basically made up garbage papers that sounded like these feminist, gender studies, and critical race disciplines and published them in peer reviewed journals. Even the people in these disciplines can't tell satire from seriousness - and that's damning. They even published a rewrite of mein kampf. Why should my tax dollars go towards that? These people should get a real job and contribute to society. Bogus is being too charitable.

It made for one of my all time favorite episodes of Joe Rogan though. Worth a listen.

I've been using a lot of typescript lately. The ide support in vscode/tsserver is very complete, but it is NOT fast. As an example, it frequently takes multiple minutes to use find references. Rg or git grep with fzf are both hundreds of times faster, and are easier for me to navigate. (Obviously language aware find references is much more powerful, but with carefully named variables it's acceptable to just use rg.). Sometimes, even a simple "go to definition" results in a 45 second hang. (This is on a 2019 Macbook pro)

I've also used intelij idea with Java, and while it was much smoother than anything in the typescript ecosystem, it's definitely not faster than using grep.
Ho ly cow I just skimmed the oil source tree, trying to see how you generate the regex based lexers and how you combine them with a parser generator, or a hand crafted stack machine? which depending on its current state would presumably switch between the different regex DFAs?

The eggex approach looks very interesting, stand alone, independent from oil. I appreciate they are separate!

I have the opposite reaction. I wonder what kind of computer/monitor the author is using.

I found that lighter colors (whites/greys/very light pastels) display way better on an Apple-made monitor while darker colors look much better on Thinkpads/Acer/Asus/etc. monitors.

I got into quite a few back-and-forths with designers that only design on Macs because the colors look _way_ different on other devices.

Which Covid-19 Rules Are Useless? Too Many of Them
If I'm interested in A but not how A affects B, then I'm actually just interested in C rather than A? That makes even less sense than saying that altruism doesn't really exist because altruists enjoy being altruistic.

> If we set our ethical standard at "so long as I am interested in doing the building, I am being earnest", our efforts will forever be deployed by others, perhaps with effects that do not align with our values.

Firstly, "earnest" here seems to be about "less likely to get distracted (and so fail to make money)" and has nothing whatsoever to do with what's ultimately to the most social good.

Secondly, demanding control of everything downstream of you is a great way to get nothing done.

You seem to be advocating that innovation should follow an ethic of "do not call up what you cannot put down", when "fail forward" has a history of working rather better.
Well, for one, going as far as buying a domain for a single rant is a little bit suspicious. If at least it was a website dedicated to gathering issues with chrome, but a single issue with zero evidence or research. That's not generally how people "decide to share it".

So currently the partition allocator - https://github.com/vectorizedio/redpanda/blob/dev/src/v/clus... - is primitive.

But we have a working-not-yet-exposed HTTP admin api on the controller that allows for Out Of Band placement.

so the mechanics are there, but not yet integrated w/ the partition allocator.

Thinking that we integrate w/ k8s more deeply next year.

The thinking at least is that at install we generate some machine labels say in /etc/redpanda/labels.json or smth like that and then the partition allocator can take simple constraints.

I worked on a few schedulers for www.concord.io with Fenzo on top of mesos 6 years ago and this worked nicely for both 'affinity', 'soft affinity' and anti-affinity constraints.

Do you have any thoughts on how you'd like this exposed?

Cool project!

Just a heads up, the Google search API provides different results than the normal Google web search. [0] It uses a different index that isn't as big, and handles term matching a little differently. There will be a personalization element for different results, but there are a lot of results that Google just won't be return through the search API.

> monstrously complicated packaging apparatus

Huh?

.debs are gzip'd tar file with predictable top-level folders and some manifest files. An APT server can be as simple as an FTP site, again with a predictable hierarchy and some manifest files.

Keysigning gets a bit messy but it is still relatively simple.

You can set up your own private package repository in minutes using nothing more than ftpd, gpg, mkdir, and vim.

The documentation is clear, comprehensive, and relatively easy to read.

How is this "monstrously complicated"?

some of the only fans users makes in a month what a plain SE would make in a year. besides the fact that there are some serious wrong thing with the world, I thought this kind of skill would be more rewarded.
