In my experience, it’s generally less experienced engineers that will happily make a clusterfuck of circular dependendies.

If a more experienced engineer does, it’s generally considered a necessary evil, but not a choice taken lightly.
In many cases they are fleeing violence or poverty. They don't really have other options.
What is comfortable initially is not guaranteed (or even likely) to be repeatable thousands of times. Look at weight lifting - if you ask an untrained person to lift a barbell or heavy bag the way that "feels natural", they'll probably lift with their back or do something else that would cause major problems if done repeatedly over the long term.
If we pull from RH they cannot cover that while also covering the naked shorts they lentto these funds.

Then we sue Citadel & anyone else who was buying in bulk while we could ONLY sell. That is the crime.
Did you even listen to the podcast? It is obviously not "run" by Chris Bedford...he mentioned his inability to deal with even simple ID more than once in the podcast.
I'm a crazy poweruser, who uses linux.
I use the fact it's scheduler priorities actually do something, and that there's different tiers of it. The fact I can change how cpu/mem/disk/etc is limited per apps (cgroups), or globally to use less power... (I get +20FPS to reliability and stability hit 60Fps in OverWatch cause of this, I don't think this PC could run OW on windows nicely at all)
I use xdotool to automate all the things...
I play with filesystems, audio (I still haven't seen any other system as good as mine for making my ears never bleed).
It also handles faulty HW perfectly fine, I can reload it, restart it, etc, isolated to just that component.
It handles old HW very well.
Drivers for everything I've ever tried always without any hassle (Albeit windows seems to have improved this.)
I can also disable the CPU mitigations and get a bunch of performance back... as my desktop PC doesn't run untrusted code.. nor have services accessible.

Windows goes bizzerk within a week every week and somehow just maxes out my work laptop/desktops CPU for no apparent reason... needing reboots to fix it.
Windows updates ruin all long-running tasks (like, unittests).. and unitTests cannot be run at low priority, cause they still effect normal priority apps way too much...
If you start playing with low level systems in it, it'll just start blue screening .
MS telemetry... Ad's on desktop...
A LOT of crap I don't care about comes with it and runs by default.. vs ~32Mb of ram usage by the time I hit desktop.
How to Become a 10x Engineer Using the Awk Command

IIRC this storage engine used to have a 2GB limit, but it did not properly check this limit and would corrupt itself if you tried to store too much. This caused problems for Exchange, Outlook, the ironically named Visual Source Safe, and probably others.
The stock will of course go down again but it remains to be seen if these hedge funds can recover from their 60 billion dollar losses.

It is no question whether this event will have far reaching consequences. With the SEC reacting to actions directed by common people something has changed fundamentally.
By me we already have deeply discounted low income household rates, it's trivial to qualify for and could exempt from TOU pricing if that's a problem.
This is in part because we had to replace the app in 2019, and also because it's not the only client for Matrix - many deployments are actually forks of Element (e.g. France's 5.5M user deployment of Tchap).
That sounds like almost everything on TV. I can't stand any of it anymore.

I think there is not enough awareness of how manipulative moving images really are. It's probably really difficult to make a movie or documentary that is not highly manipulative, intentionally or not.

Cramer says buy buy buy almost every day on his show during lighting round. Is that manipulation too?
For RH to survive? They robbed us blindly this week. They created a buying dip on the backs on panic selling & people lost fortunes. This company is done for.
Armies of people and layers of management. One thing though, there was a natural bottleneck that was in tune with human needs. Today computerized sides of the system (say automatic complaint system on internet) are throwing too much requests that end up in now crippled human services operating half on legacy paper paradigms and half with bad software.

ps: chances are some big fund blockchain project will evaporate all of this in a few moments. It's the kind of thing large enough and capable enough to wipe legacy.
If the electronics and computer industries are any guide the manufacturers will "recover" those savings through desupporting software / forced upgrades. Either that or go to a pure leasing model since the car's software driven propulsion is now completely proprietary protected IP that you won't be able to have fixed except through them.
They won’t cuz they r going bankrupt. Pull funds & watch the rest.
>And finally, we encounter a large issue without a good solution. In encoded videos, a key frame is a frame in the video that contains all the visual information needed to render itself without any additional metadata. These are much larger than normal frames, and contribute greatly to the bitrate. Ideally, there would be as a few keyframes as possible. However, when a new user starts consuming a stream, they need at least one keyframe to view the video. WebRTC solves this problem using the RTP Control Protocl (RTCP). When a new user consumes a stream, they send a Full Intra Request (FIR) to the producer. When a producer receives this request, they insert a keyframe into the stream. This keeps the bitrate low while ensuring all the users can view the stream. FFmpeg does not support RTCP. This means that the default FFmpeg settings will produce output that won’t be viewable if consumed mid-stream, at least until a key frame is received. Therefore, the parameter -force_key_frames expr:gte(t,n_forced*4) is needed, which produces a key frame every 4 seconds.

Er, PLTR still had a lockup for its direct listing. If this trend continues the “usually” aspect will not hold.

Forum moderators are not on the hook for what their users say. The SEC or other law enforcement will do as they see fit. I just don't like the suggestion that nothing should be done. We're all essentially bystanders to young people being lured into losing a lot of money. This isn't just the Darwinian free market taking its course (which you could object to anyways on ideological grounds); it's a lot of people acting illegally and victimizing some vulnerable people.
The average commute in the U.S. is 32 miles a day, pre pandemic. Which means that the load is distributed not only in 24 hours, but every 72 hours for even lower capacity batteries like the leaf.
just off the top of my head...

the multiplier is much higher if you're on the project from the beginning: you have more choices, more history, your code

some factors that can lower the multiplier:
- working with other people's code
- working "in the middle" of the problem - more abstract - sometimes unclear what people will do with your code,
sometimes unclear what layers below you are doing.

sometimes it can become a divisor when:
- unmaintained old old code
- more obscure languages or hardware
- unclear problems or direction

Me: "We are no longer using these licenses."

Adobe: "But you are on the hook for a year. We have reset all of your licenses to have the same annual renewal date, regardless of when you purchased them."

Adobe: "We highly recommend that you accept our generous 3 months free offer."

Me: "That sounds a little ominous. Please cancel the licenses, effective immediately."

This is paraphrased, but follows the essential conversation. Adobe, you disappoint me.

> If we lose that essence of humanity where we feel wonder and awe looking up into the night sky, then we lose one of the prime movers of discovery and science.

Do we? Anecdotally, I grew up in the country and mostly didn't give the night sky a second thought, and yet have always been pretty obsessed with space-related fact and fiction.
I seriously doubt it will be even a blip on their radar. In fact, I think this will be their “no such thing as bad publicity” moment and they will have massive growth. People have short memories (no pun intended) and the switching costs are also nontrivial.
Agreed re: key feel. I learned on an Apple //e and still think that's ideal. MacBook keyboards are the worst for me... the constant tactile feedback I think creates a negative feedback response that overtrains my fingers, leading to weird typing mistakes. Switching back to a mechanical keyboard helped.

Good points have been made about the hosting for rightforge.com - it looks like bargain-basement hosting so if there is anything like what was described in the podcast behind it, there better be a lot more coming to light soon to back it up.

On the arbitration front, check out the situation with IndieGoGo and now Patreon. A large number of people acting in concert can fight back against them without going to a class action lawsuit (which are banned anyway). A few years back, the MO for companies was to require arbitration, not participate, and then let it linger forever. California changed the law recently (2019?) where if the company doesn't respond, they "lose" according to JAMS rules.

* I participated in the IndieGoGo arbitration process. Our fee was $250 while theirs was uncapped with most (public) estimates being in the $10-12k range. With a few hundred people, it starts turning into real money for them.
It's not that resource hungry anymore. Hovering stably around 500M RSS and 8% CPU for me right now. That's with ~25 users and a lot of federated, public rooms, some of them quite large.
Hello, Navita here , Creator of RoughBook chrome extension.
I am a developer turned entrepreneur. My current passion is to make taking notes quicker and simpler. Therefore, introducing RoughBook. RoughBook is an online note-taking chrome extension. It is a productivity tool that helps in quickly capturing important information and set reminders.

The Exact Problem -
There are zillion notes taking apps which help us in beautifully organising our notes. But what about notes which we just want to write-down (type-down) and organise later (if at all we wish to). In such cases, we end up using pen-paper (if at all they present) or just rely on our memory-power to remember things. Thus, the problem in focus is not being able to quickly add notes and the difficulties in searching for them later.

The Solution -
Need of a product which can help us to quickly take down notes/reminders and tag them if required. I started it as a chrome extension (as most of my online time spent on chrome) but surely expand it later on multiple platforms. Pin RoughBook at your Chrome browser and just keep adding whatever coming to your mind and if you want them to be organised, just use simple hashtags. Yes, same hashtags which you use for LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram…
Yep, I also learned to play piano around the same time I learned to type. They're very similar to me.
Sounds like the real issue is the pull factor of lax immigration enforcement and widespread under the table employment in the US. We should be emulating the Australian model which has saved thousands of lives by effectively deterring dangerous human trafficking. With robust work visa verification and strict border security, coyotes and other human traffickers would be put out of business.

Solve the problem of employers hiring illegal immigrants, and the issue of these employers abusing the inherent power imbalance disappears as well.
Yeah I don't know about pushing it as something that would work for everyone. That's not a good idea, as everyone is different. As a suggestion, especially for the desperate, sure, but I wouldn't go out of my way to promote it like that.
Hedge funds have not lost $60 billion on GameStop.
I was trying to be factual with a little sarcastic flair. My personal belief is that there shouldn’t be an alternate justice system within the university.
great point. so far I explored the individual developer's perspective. perhaps I should take a shot at analyzing productivity of teams next!
Submitting a negative review is a lot less effort than dealing with a court case. I think it’s unlikely a small percentage of 100,000 will pursue.
And under California law consumers cannot be forced to bear those costs.
I'm not sure why this article talks about reddit at all. I'm not aware of anyone suing reddit or even considering it (unless the hedge funds plan to do so?).

It seems like they just wanted an excuse to write an article about Section 230, or had already written it when it was a big topic earlier in the month and wanted to use what they wrote elsewhere. :)
I agree that WhatsApp and that stuff is problematic; simple and open protocol will be much better. (You can implement your own client software, and/or your own server software too.)

It is why, I think IRC and NNTP are good (and have implemented NNTP on my own server).

I don't use WhatsApp, Microsoft Office, Windows, macOS, Google Docs, either, and I also don't want to use it. (Although, I have used Windows in the past, but now I don't.)

I also think that really making a better web browser must be required (despite the difficulty of doing so), even if some things are not going to be implemented. Further, deprecating it should be done and using simpler formats such as plain text, NNTP, Gopher, Gemini, a small subset of HTML, etc.
> This is mostly a hit piece.

I did notice that NPR did not really tell his side of this tale, but added a few selected quotes that were rather inflammatory in this context.

e.g. "In a press conference at his apartment building Friday, Doroshin called the city's decision to dissolve the partnership "dirty power politics" and alleged it was part of a political conspiracy. He said that if given the chance, he wouldn't have done anything differently.

It's a quote that sounds like he's a bitter, self-absorbed, crazy person. Could indeed be true, but given that the Principle of Charity is not a journalistic practice, we did not learn his argument and cannot judge for ourselves.

Unfortunately, NPR is considered among the best of US news.
This, but unironically.

No. Naked short would be when I sell without borrowing hoping that the stock will drop sufficiently (or new shares will be available for borrowing) that by the time settlement occurs (T+2) I will be able to cover. The “fraud” of naked short is that you fail to deliver the shares at settlement to the new owner. If you re-borrow shares then that’s different since then you really do have shares to deliver.
Sadly, eSNI is dead in the water, but an alternative is being worked on. It'll just take longer for it to come to market.
You’re talking about people who banded together to drive up share prices. They’ve already demonstrated an ability and willingness to coordinate.

Ah, that sounds like something that should go nation-wide.

BLM has a convicted terrorist in charge of fundraising and does “administrative work”.

This is the thing I have been thinking about the last day. In theory if all the shares are bought, these buyers would technically be price setters and list an arbitrary high price. Could they?
‘Offensive Towards Women’: Myntra to Change Logo After Complaint
> 8. Give equal representation all states in the upper house as in the US senate(2 senator s from each state).

This is a terribly unfair system in the US, resulting in a voter from Texas (population 29 million) having 2% of the representation in the Senate as a voter from Wyoming (population 579000) or 5% of the representation in the Senate as a voter from Hawaii (population 1.4 million)

The system has its origins at a time when only land owning white men (by definition a minority at the time) had the right to vote, and senators were chosen by state legislators, not residents.

Only under that backward system could the current Senate seat allocation be seen as remotely rational, although it can in no way be viewed as just.
You can download an apk and launch the package installer activity to install it. In latest versions of Android, you'll need to serve the apk through a ContentProvider. I tested this myself, it works, even if the app is updating itself.

But I think you can actually still load arbitrary dex files using a ClassLoader? I thought that the update was only affecting JNI libraries. I remember reading how they wanted for any and all executable code to come from a signed package. Even then, if you're determined enough, you can load arbitrary native code by allocating some rwx memory pages and copying it in there ;)
Probably because those are theoretical losses. The previous paragraph is also relevant:

>However, Robinhood is not legally bound to carry out every trade and the lawsuits will not succeed without evidence the company restricted trading for an improper reason, such as to favor certain investors, according to several legal experts.

As mentioned in other threads, robinhood wasn't able to come up with the deposit needed for their customers trades. In that case I don't see how it's any different than a service outage causing you to lose money, but you don't have a SLA in place.
Key point:

"The problem is that facts—at least today—are themselves subject to doubt, especially when they conflict with our political beliefs (21). In the past decades, America has seen a decentralization of news and information (22) that has allowed people to gather their “own facts” (i.e., alternative facts; ref. 23). Most recently, claims of “fake news” allow people to distrust any information that fails to align with their political beliefs (24, 25) and to trust fake news that aligns with their beliefs (26)."

This is the epistemic crisis we're currently facing. Up until about the late 70s we had 3 news networks that were all pretty much middle of the road politically. Newspapers could have more of a discernible political leaning, but even there most of the mainstream ones we're pretty centrist. People who hewed to an extreme political position in either direction were ostracized and thus had a very small audience. We had more of a common narrative which is now gone.
It's funny how often current sentiments correspond with sentiments long ago. Free speech, piracy, information overload, lamenting of today's youth over-reliance on external memory.
For me it's just like... my brain knows where the keys are, and my fingers know how to move to where they're needed. I do have to look when typing one-handed, but it's more to help "aim" that to search for where the keys are.
Ah, I thought they were the same actually.

Yes, but that’s because as a 10 year old I spent many, many hours with a friend playing it on the original NES. Even 25 years on I can still clear the first couple of worlds without really thinking about it.

Games back the were really hard, especially without any sort of saving, there’s no shame in finding them difficult.
You’re right. You should be upvoted, not downvoted. And then there is the cost of accidents. I’ve had two people hit me (their fault in both cases) and both clearly expressed to me their intention to lie about the details of accident to avoid responsibility. They then followed through and lied to the insurance company, just as they said they would.

You might think I must live in a sketchy area to encounter such people. Well no. One was a specialist doctor at Stanford hospital and the other worked at Apple. But they both lied. My car defended me from severe financial costs these people could have inflicted on me. Thousands of dollars if you add up the two cases. And that’s in just a couple years of ownership. Both were caught on video and were held responsible despite their lies.

Of course it might seem that having cameras has nothing to do with being an EV. But some EVs do have a lot of cameras, and that’s part of the cost people complain about, but it’s also part of how the car has much lower total cost of ownership. It should be factored in when making cost comparisons, just like the lower maintenance costs you point out.

The way it does have to do with the car being an EV is that these cameras are backed by a massive battery, so they can be always on. ICE cars can’t come even close to doing that.
Yep: YouTube currently delivers over gQUIC and h3 (IETF QUIC).

We advertise the following alt-svc for most devices:

> h3-29=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-T051=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q050=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q046=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q043=":443"; ma=2592000,quic=":443"; ma=2592000; v="46,43"

HTTP/3 (over IETF QUIC) is still not as widely deployed due to lesser client support, but that's growing as both Chrome[1], Firefox and Apple (in iOS Safari, when enabled) adopt it and the latest drafts.
