Edit: Going back to the book, here’s the most relevant quote from the late Maltzman: “the patients contacted prior to the court injunction all expressed a willingness to cooperate and to be interviewed” Maybe “delighted” was too strong of a word.

An alternative to Apple using cobalt from Congo is Apple using cobalt from Cuba, Russia, Iran, and China itself, a perfect quadriga.

And Apple works as one huge lobbying company on behalf of Chinese state, interfering on any USG attempt at tackling Chinese political influence in US.

You may think of how Apple may have monetary incentive to lobby for China against anti-slavery laws, but you cannot conceivably imagine why in the world Apple lobbies for laxer campaign financing rules, and against stricter rules against foreign campaign donations.

The only way to solve the Apple issue, is make it cease its existence as a business.

If US don't kill the Apple it surrenders this option to the enemy.

For as long as Apple has such enormous incentives for continuing being amicable with communists to continue its existence, they will continue to lobby for them.
This is an interesting problem in the same way that many other codegolf problems are interesting. The question isn’t about solving something that’s directly applicable to everyday life, but instead it’s exploring what is possible in the language/framework provided as guidelines for the competition. So as long as we take it at face value it’s a fun and entertaining thought exercise.
I don't think it's just a random process. The coolest-sounding technologies are the ones where you can describe to a layman how it works, but they've still rarely or never seen something that works that way.

3d-printing is perfect tech for this: the principle is graspable by anyone, it makes for cool stop motion videos, yet it's still rare in practice. Injection moulding is too commonplace: we've cast metal in moulds for thousands of years.

A cool name helps as well, of course. 3D printing is definitely sexier than "additive manufacturing".
His nationality matters in that the US shouldn't raise as much hue and cry as people expected them to do. In fact, the US response was more than sufficient.

Most countries don't even bother with such hassles - on the contrary, if you're unlucky enough to be British, your government will try to use you as a bargaining chip.

This is all quite true, the loophole seems to be that you can take these rules seriously but have much less obligation to keep what you publish within the limits your choices within the rules create.

The original publisher could only claim to know it had an unconfirmable suppressive affect on drinking for the short period they were allowed to contact the subjects. The limits were clearly used to imply more and alternative researchers that responsibly asked for sufficient permissions at the start would have been at a double disadvantage. (Harder to recruit subjects and results that were less likely to be remarkable.)

What are the benefits of using eBPF besides a promise of observability "for free"?

Can eBPF be used for observability using platforms like Java or .net core, or does their platform VMs obfuscate too much and monitoring them using eBPF is not feasible?

How does eBPF work wrt OpenTelemetry etc.? Should OpenTelemetry be seen as standardized interfaces to which eBPF reports data?
Wow, that shows some great taste.
Probabilistic Flakiness: How do you test your tests?
This functionality already exists in the C++ standard library as std::filesystem::(recursive_)directory_iterator with the default constructor creating a sentinel value. This is solution (1) and this is due to the restriction that prior to C++20 iterators were required to be the same type. C++20 relaxes this restriction and allows the sentinel to be any type as long as it is equality comparable with the other iterator. Since on *nix systems readdir is used under the hood, the sentinel can simply be an empty type that is only equal when the actual iterator's last cached dirent pointer is equal to NULL. The sentinel itself can be an empty type.
Iterators are a very powerful concept, however, it is very cumbersome and often impossible, to implement some interesting iterator based on the standard iterators. This stems from the idea that any iterator can based on a single pointer and use pointer comparison for indicating the start and the end of the contents.

The most common case, are forward output iterators, for which I usually define a class that defines the methods more and next, that can be used as:

for (MyIterator it(data); it.more(); it.next())

Oh come on. It's not like Italy has been bombing foreign scientists, sending assassins all around the world, or illegally occupying an entire country for seven decades.
Sure, this is the technique that you want to use for programs that you write today. But given that it's using the iterator concepts that have existed for decades, that will be deprecated soon if not now, why claim it's "modern C++"? The only thing I could see in the whole article that wouldn't work in C++98 was range-based for loops. At least they didn't use std::iterator, which was deprecated in C++17.

The title is misleading marketing: It gives the impression you need this nice new blog post instead of all the old out of date ones, and that it's all you'll need to know for the foreseeable future.

> Most companies ultimately value more predictable and less productive over slightly crazy and more productive. I realized this is kind of my situation.. advice on what do is much appreciated :)

Are you considering yourself as "slightly crazy and more productive" (it's not certain from the wording)?

If so, you may want to think in terms of time perspectives. Another way of viewing the dichotomy is "Most companies ultimately value (more predictable and less productive in the short term and more productive in the long term) over (slightly crazy and more productive in the short term and less productive in the long term).

Thinking oneself as "more productive" doesn't motivate to build the personal and technical skills required in the long term, instead, it centers the focus on one's ego (I'm cool; if they don't hire me, it's because they're wrong).

But I'm also skeptical of the entire concept, at least in some cultures. Excluding staff workers, there's a lot of mobility in American companies, to the point that it's quite common to change company every few years (say, 2 to 5). How "crazy" should one be to start disrupting productivity even before a couple of years?

P2P no longer has platform protections, you can't claim that some illigal image you're storing isn't of your own action. This is different from TOR where you're just passing through unknown, encrypted non stored network traffic.

Your IP is exposed in any actual P2P network, meaning that if you happen to be the hoster of an illigal image you're toast from the start. All it took for the FBI to take down silk road was one single IRC connection unproxied. That's a dangerous game to play.

Funny thing, if you make the most straightforward no dependency version in "Vanilla HTML+CSS+JS" you'll easily get below 250 characters, but it will break the last rule

> Starting HTML body should be empty except the <script>

Because you'll have no <script> tag. To fulfill this, you'll have to unnecessarily wrap the whole thing in script, like:

<script>document.write(`<style>:checked+*{text-decoration:line-through}#t{display:none}</style><p id="t"><input type="checkbox"><input><div id="f"></div><p><button onclick="f.appendChild(t.cloneNode(true)).id=''">+</button><button onclick="f.innerHTML=''">×</button>`)</script>

(277 chars, golfable even further, but I'm not going to replace button elements with something inappropriate.)
Energy consumption of other manufacturing methods is also quite high, for instance, injection molding is super energy intensive, as are most forms of casting and machining.

It's clear that 3D printing is no substitute for injection molding, stamping or or other such mass fabrication methods. But, like with every other manufacturing method: it is complementary, there are applications for all of these.

And yes, I've stepped into factories, and worked with/for them, beside that I had a metal workshop and was partner in an early CAD/CAM company. So FWIW I think I understand the limitations of the tech quite well, and I think that if 3D printing could be sped up by a factor of 100 or so (which is definitely in the realm of the possible) that the other disadvantages would matter a lot less than they do today.

I think it is a little bit more than putting together coders of very different skills.

It is not just that the difference in skills causes frustration but also that frustrations over long period of time also influence the developer.

For example, if you have observed, over long period of time, that people are generally slow and unreliable, that your products tend to work better, that you can think up better designs without bothering to talk to your team,

... wouldn't that influence your character and the way you typically interface with other developers?

I personally think that the Hofstadter butterfly stuff is absolutely gorgeous, and it was a large part of why I started working on 2D materials in the first place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstadter%27s_butterfly

In the '70s, Hofstadter wrote about this neat fractal pattern that would show up in the band structure of a material in a sufficiently large magnetic field. Specifically, the magnetic field strength times the crystal unit cell area needed to be big. Magnetic field strength is limited by how much current you can put around a superconducting solenoid. Unit cell area is generally something that you can't change for ordinary crystals: it's just set by the chemistry of the material.

Back in 2012-ish, a few groups managed to artificially increase the area of the unit cell by multiple orders of magnitude by aligning the graphene with hexagonal boron nitride, which has the same crystal structure and a very similar size. When aligned, the moire pattern itself has a large size, and that was enough to see the butterfly.
according to this article from the columbia journalism review:

“For 10 years I interviewed engineers and scientists about new technologies and renewable energies. And I kind of learned during that period that, well, it doesn’t really work,” De Decker tells CJR from his home in Barcelona. Around the same time, De Decker stopped flying, opting instead to travel by train, boat, or bike. Readers would sometimes remark that while the magazine preached an ethos of low-tech, it still relied on the most prominent of high tech inventions: the internet.

> How come when we hear about this stuff it is always Israeli companies involved?

Everyone seems to be focusing on the "always" in your statement, so i'll ignore that and give you a straight answer.

Strong investment in STEM education, after school programming and computer security programs, mandatory military service where they get a chance to evaluate everyone and funnel the smart technical folks in to Unit 8200, and heavy investment into security startups.

Israel also benefits from everyone else depending on their tools. Not only do they get to see the intelligence being collected by other countries and gain insights into their espionage operations, they also would be able to piggy back into any networks that were of particular interest.
Not really. A better comparison would be electric cable where the company who provides you power is also responsible for maintaining the infrastructure. It's more practical to do it this way, otherwise every time your lights went out, you would have two parties who would be potentially responsible for fixing it.
