The original poster is almost certainly talking about Linux's overcommit policy: http://opsmonkey.blogspot.com/2007/01/linux-memory-overcommi...

You can't adopt a defensive / offensive stance with regards to out-of-memory issues, because on Linux... malloc doesn't fail when you run out of physical memory.

Your "error" occurs on a pointer-dereference, which could be anywhere in your program. Once more memory is dereferenced than the system has capacity for, the OOM-killer is activated. There's no defensive stance possible, aside from setting overcommit to "Type2" (disabling the overcommit behavior of the Kernel).

But that's somewhat non-standard, and possibly non-helpful, since some applications depend on overcommit.

I joined this, replied to the post, and now I'm being sent lots of creepy messages and dick pics from the men of the internet :/

Telegram has no option for "Only allow contacts to message me", it turns out.

After lots of messages, they eventually offer to auto archive and mute people not on your contacts, but it's still fairly visible on the app.

Perhaps Telegram should work on better abuse management before adding voice chat! I used to love the app but now I am considering uninstalling.

For example: if you want to buy X for $100, but it's available for $98, then the traditional broker will buy it for $98. Robinhood, instead, will go with the $99.99 offer if that seller offers them more money.

You were willing to pay $100, so from your point of view you weren't "harmed" either way, but with the traditional broker you saved $2/share, and with Robinhood all the savings went to them.

Generally, brokers are either required to go with the best offer, or, if they don't, explain to customers that they don't and why. Robinhood violated that rule by marketing themselves and going with the best offers (but actually did the opposite) and that's what the SEC is fining them for.
I’m a believer in science - was a physics major in college. However, I find the hubris in science distasteful. Theories are treated like facts. Also, words like “we know” are used, and then a decade later that knowledge turns out to be wrong. Science changes, but at a point in time it often acts like it has reached the ultimate truth. A simple example: I remember in Jr High being taught that red shift and slowing of the expansion of the universe proved beyond doubt the Big Bang happened. Except, oops, turns out the universe is expanding after all. But you would be ridiculed if you didn’t believe
Challenge away, it's the internet!

I think that it's possible but unlikely that loperamide is having a unique effect, because (a) they've shown that it's operating via the ATF4 mechanism, which is the same mechanism we see in other opioids (and multiple other drugs), and (b) loperamide's activity has generally been pretty well characterized and it doesn't really stand out (it's by no means a new drug - I remember taking it as a generic twenty years ago.)

I'll admit it's possible in the broad sense because ATF4 isn't some super-specific pathway. It's a stress response signal. So while I think (b) above makes a unique mechanism unlikely, (a) by itself isn't a slam-dunk - there are a lot of stress signals that induce cell death when they get amped up enough, and can inhibit cell death if blocked off.
I work on this team. We host Netflix compute that while "internal" processes requests from Netflix users and the internet. We use industry standard frameworks and technologies in our workloads. All software ends up having security incidents. We have this lower level security to protect ourselves if the higher level technology has temporary security problems.
This is intentional. They want you to just follow their AI more than curate your own world. You live in their world.

> the user should never be navigating the "hierarchy;"

My first impression when I looked at the explorer for browsing was "oh, the Dewey Decimal system. I have to figure out which top-level category my interests like, then click on it, and follow the hierarchy of the system down to the books I want. That might not be the intent, but that's what the primary interface is.
Same. I interviewed with Amazon twice and it's like a 10-hour meat grinder. No offer either time and I have no idea what I did wrong.

I absolutely don't get those wide open questions like "How would you design 1-hour delivery?" (real question btw). As someone who has done a lot of consulting work, my instincts are never, ever try to answer such a ridiculously broad question on your own with no context. The answer to me is to budget for several weeks of planning with a broad range of stakeholders to prioritize features and come up with an initial technical approach that we can refine after an MVP launch, but I don't think that's what they wanted to hear.

I assume you're not American. Here everyone uses SMS by default. Failing that, everyone uses FB Messenger. Discord is used for gaming. That's about all the breadth you'll get outside of work. I guess I know three people who use Hangouts sometimes. Marco Polo and Snapchat are moderately popular things, though a bit different. Still, I have never met a single person who has used Whatsapp, Signal, Matrix, or Telegram. I doubt more than a handful have ever heard of any of them.

Spying on the Scammers [Part 1/4]
I'm on a path to becoming a MD. Was in finance before and discovered HN probably 4 years ago.

I can't speak for the original poster but I think HN users are attracted to complexity and raw truth. Medicine and programming have a lot in common in that regard.

An example is the discovery and isolation of insulin [0]. Banting barely convinced somebody to give him lab space for 2 measly months. He then experimented with tying off the ducts of dog pancreases or removing the pancreases altogether. He realized he could keep a severely diabetic dog alive with injections from another dog's pancreatic juices. There was some drama around the subsequent purification of insulin and the Nobel Prize.

The full story almost sounds like software hacking and startup drama.

Actually, the original HTML was not designed to have the end user agent determine how a page looks, and was designed to specify presentation. <FONT> was not part of the original HTML specification. <TABLE> was never meant to lay out a page.

The WYSIWYG-like tags were added in the late 1990s during the dot-com era because companies wanted to be able to make web pages “glossy brochures” and were doing things like making web pages huge imagemaps until Netscape added HTML tags specifying presentation.

Terms like "fleecing" are subjective, and I wasn't claiming that RH necessary fleeced anyone in this instance. I was pointing out that opaque pricing models are problematic, since they make it much harder for customers to compare competing services and determine which offers more reasonable costs. In the extreme case, this can harm competition and make everyone worse off than they would be in a transparent regime, aka "people get fleeced".

In this case the real questions are: (1) does RH's model result in some customers paying more for the same services than they would pay at competitors, and (2) can these customers realistically make the determination before they choose a service?

We don't exactly know the answer to (1), and the reason we don't know the answer to that is because the answer to (2) is "almost certainly not". In fact the RH model is so opaque that even the SEC can't fully answer the question, and on top of this normal opacity RH added a layer of clear misrepresentation.

Maybe in the end, it should be totally fine for brokerages to make all their money from order flow fees, in ways that are completely invisible and opaque to the customer, and regulators should just back off the whole thing as long as there are a few lines of text in a ToS somewhere. To me as a customer that seems kind of crummy, but I'm not a regulator.
They'd probably want to finess it a little bit more than that, but yeah?

If you're going to bring carbon emissions into it, mentioning current mitigations as well seems relevant unless you're writing an op/ed piece.
I don’t believe in generalists. Everyone has interests and strengths that over time move them in a direction to specialization. To say one codes both the front end and back end of a web site is about as general as I’d accept.

Example, game developers and financial systems engineers have very little shared domain knowledge and would require a huge amount of context switching on the order of months.

Mobile engineers also rarely want to work on server code. The tooling, the languages, the UX, they don’t even intersect on a vin diagram. Tools like react-native try to work around this discrepancy, but it’s few and far between.
Interesting stuff. For the Bloomberg thing, I would probably view warily any company that offered so much to try to get me to join. I'd wonder why they need to try so hard to get people to join.

If I was going to judge dev interviewees solely on presentation and communication I'd have hired FEWER people than I have using algorithm questions as well.

If you're junior, and you can't tell me anything interesting about the work you've done in the past, but can at least write some code quickly to solve some sample problems, you've at least shone something.

If you're pretty experienced, though... not having much you can talk in depth about is a bigger flag.
The Trending videos always disappoint me. It seems like it's always some fame chasing YouTubers/people who dont deserve being on the Trending list instead of actual cool videos and content. People are gaming the algo hardcore to make tens of millions for themselves. The James Charles & Charli D'amelio entire crew of like 10 people who are always in the trending list, Soundcloud rappers, etc. Then, on the flipside, you have the YouTube algo punishing content creators and shadowbanning their videos of content YouTube doesn't like, great example of this is any of the popular firearms channels. You'll never see any of those in the Trending list despite them having millions of views.

Are you a LGBTQ makeup artist rapper who gives money away and plays Minecraft? Straight to #1 Trending video for you. Dont forget the clickbait title and misleading thumbnail image.

Are you producing original and awesome content? No one will ever find your video.
I always get downvoted here, but again, what did you expect? There is no free lunch.

Use a decent broker like Interactive Brokers, Thinkorswim or Schwab. Schwab comes with a decent bank account.

Thanks for that updated picture. Next time I need an app like that, I will give it a second chance.
You know what's worse than aspirations to become a celebrity? No aspirations at all. I know people like that. They just seem to see the future as a regular life with nothing particularly to do in it except exist and perform normal regular practical activities to sustain it. I can't imagine how dull it must be, but they seem to cope, and get all their excitement from immediate events. I hope you can be happy that your relatives at least have ambition, even if it's not quite accurately targeted yet. Not everyone is that fortunate.
It just seems kind of like building a car by hand to me. Why would you want to use raw SQL when you can leverage the power of your favorite programming language? Isn't it cleaner to write a Model with Pythonic field constraints, methods, and subclassing? Don't get me wrong - knowing SQL is important for every developer, but one doesn't need to be an SQL expert to be a back-end development expert.
It’s shameful that one of the worlds best journalistic sources didn’t even bother to reach out to Signal to get comment on a story they ran about them

I feel like a lot of today’s mistrust of news stems from publications not verifying sources, or checking evidence, or at least scrutinizing what others are saying.

Loperamide (imodium-ad in USA) is a godsend for tapering off opiates. It prevents all withdrawal symptoms (aside from actually getting high).
There is exactly one distro that comes with ZFS, so it's a bit exaggeration to say it's well integrated with Linux, considering how much effort is applied by kernel developers to make it even harder to use ZFS. And this one distro that includes ZFS is just one lawsuit away from removing it again.
I'm a big fan of Stahl's Psychopharmacology. Since pretty much every illicit drug has a legal equivalent, but the legals are better studied, you'll probably find that a good source. If your primary interest is illicit drugs, though, I don't have a good suggestion - it's not the sort of book too many careers are built on.
Email or the phone networks aren't global monopolies, are they? They even got text messages working globally—no idea about MMS though.

So maybe there's a way to make a globally non-island IM that works in the Internet as well; or maybe with islands that can work with each other if that's how it must be. Sadly I doubt this will not happen without regulation; it worked for the telephone network, though email happened without.

Morally, blocking ads is equivalent of having your butler cut the ads out of the newspaper before handing it to you.
That doesn't seem to apply at FAANGs. I had some positive interviews where I went out of my way to build some rapport and it got a lot of smiles but no offer. It definitely worked at the completely not FAANG company that I work for now. I think I'm probably better off this way.
i agree. thats why people shouldnt talk about other people's wealth. it is very rude and useless gossip. age, wealth and politics...it's just impolite to discuss or gossip or be nosy about these things. its personal.
Arguably providing everyone the means to pay for what individuals need to live a healthy, thriving life, is what's necessary - so they can cover the costs of these services without the need for ads to cover those costs. The ad industrial complex was a way to fast track processes, however it doesn't account for the externalized costs of manipulative advertising on society - lower quality, addictive products-services having a higher profit margin and therefore a higher budget for marketing/advertising as part of sustaining the complex. Decentralization therefore isn't a necessity except as a failsafe against potential bad actors, however data and network portability is necessary law/policy to be in place to counter actions of bad actors who use this current lack of easy mobility as a network defense mechanism.
That was fun as hell. I didn't realize how enjoyable hipster AIs would be.
I actually miss the Ben Shapiro DESTROYS Feminists recommendations that I was getting 2 years ago. It was kinda fun. Now they have toned it down so much that it's hard to find engaging content. Their music recommendation is still good.
Yes. My cheat sheet includes a "Minimum base salary" bullet point that is much higher than my walk-away number. This anchors the discussion.

I find the recruiters who get back to me are pretty open and transparent. If not, that's a sign they're probably not well connected with the company and may even simply be front-running a listing they found on a job site.

On preview: what @kortilla said. I don't find it limiting since it's a number I would be happy accepting (all other things being acceptable). I'm not out to maximize my salary. I want to maximize my well-being.

When I read the original blog post by Cellebrite, which is on archive.org [1], it left me scratching my head too. Signal is open source. They had access to the device to dump everything. Then they went through the source code to figure out how to decrypt the data. Just as this blog response says, they could’ve just opened the app and retrieved the contents (and even forwarded that to another device if they wanted).

So someone enthusiastically posted about wasting their time as if it was a technological achievement. Then someone (else?) realized that the long technical post sounded stupid and had it replaced.

And some people wonder where their tax money goes to — all these companies who are better at marketing themselves well as experts are getting free lunches!

The Bad Plus (version 1) is such an unreasonable concentration of extraordinary talent, I haven't yet found anything else that comes close.
This limits options that are unwilling to meet your requirements; places you would have passed on due to insufficient salaries anyway. If you're willing to take lower salaries, lower your minimal salary requirements to receive more of them.

Dictating salary reqs up front does two things:

1. Reduces time wasted on folks or orgs that don't want to pay your rate.

2. Immediately moves discussion away from a dance around salary to salary _negotiation_. Any good HR org that can't meet your salary reqs and still wants you will try to compensate in other ways (stocks, RSUs, benefits, bonuses, etc).

It always surprises me that these articles do so well on HN. I would assume the people who want to be in the corporate giants are, and the rest of us... don't want to be? No offence to Google, but I just don't want everything that comes with being at Google. As for the advice, I think the better, more general advice really should be "If you want a job at Google, make the people at Google want to work with you" - it's not difficult to understand what that means, you need to be smart, you need to be someone people want to work with. That's all.

When people give the advice, oh well you need to be willing to learn? That's not advice for an interview - when you arrive on your first day you actually need to be willing to learn.
The system should be configurable imo. You should be able to adjust parameters for how far-fetched suggestions you would get and whether you'd like to see videos you have already watched, and so on.
That should be the purpose I assume, unless you are in a stressing position where you would be willing to accept a lower paying job.

From my experience recruiters prefer to be told the salary ranges you are looking for to no waste their time neither yours.
There are also publications saying that the active ingredient in some dog deworming medication, fenbendazole, has strong anti cancer properties.

Huge +1 on explicitly setting expectations. I've written on this topic[0], and there are a lot of different ways interviewers don't set expectations:

- Is the interviewer looking for syntactically correct code, or general algorithmic skills?

- For a warmup, is the interviewer looking for a basic solution, or an optimal solution?

- For architecture walkthroughs, what level of detail is expected?

The extra pressure is definitely unnecessary.

Depends on what legal jurisdiction you work in. In the United States, job titles in the software industry are neither standardized nor enforced by any organization so people are free to call themselves whatever they like, regardless of education, experience, or even ability.

The downside of this is onerous and often poorly done interview processes designed to attempt to assess what the applicant is actually capable of.
> On the other hand, someone doing the work to find coins seems better than nobody doing that work and having them lay in the ground.

Taking the coins from the ground isn't the important part, its the scientific analysis in context that provides insight into the place's history. A coin in itself doesn't tell much, a lot of the same were probably found before.

It would be better for the sites to be explored properly later on. If it was a first come, first serve kind of thing, there wouldn't be anything left for future technology.
