Anyone interested in this might be interested in the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions https://dlmf.nist.gov/

It’s the digital successor to the Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables by NIST’s predecessor NBS. It’s a classic reference which google scholar says has like 120k citations. It’s colloquially called “Abramowitz and Stegun” after the editors. My pet hypothesis is that it’s so well known partially because “Ab...” tends to put as the very first entry in most of those 120k reference lists.

It’s a super handy reference for all sorts of various properties of special functions. To say it’s extensive is an understatement.

> So what does that leave? Hope? Not much of a strategy.

Open Source everything that is IT in government - from the basic design specifications to actual infrastructure configuration - and pay sizeable bug bounties (to the tune of at least 100k per bug) to incentivize third party experts is a very valid strategy.

It is also a great way to get contributions/feedback for improvement ideas from actual experts in the field instead of from some random freshly graduated junior that's sold as a senior consultant by the contractor.

It's ridiculous that many billions of dollars of taxpayer money are spent every year for proprietary software or, worse, hardware that cannot even be audited by independent third parties.

A side effect of a full OSS strategy would also be that waste (e.g. ridiculous/incomplete specs, "deliverables" that don't match these specifications, unrealistic timetables) can get uncovered and tracked by the public.

Given enough eyeballs and sunlight, all issues will eventually be found out. As citizens, we should demand transparency from our respective governments instead of knowing that there are issues and hope our enemies don't discover them.

>the cost for a ~$1 million mortgage

The scenario in this thread was originally "the house they live in just happened to appreciate significantly and is now worth over $1mm". You're describing quite a different situation.

That owner by definition does not have a $1m mortgage - or if they do, they have quite literally cashed out.

That owner is, in fact, saving a proportion of everyone else's general housing costs, compared to new buyers and ongoing renters.

Someone with a $1m mortgage is in quite a different situation (while likely very rich in terms of net worth, does not have to be a millionaire in terms of net wealth).

That setting is misleading. It just toggles whether DNS resolution happens on client side (the machine the browser is running on) or on SOCKS server side. As the SSH client acts as SOCKS server and as the SSH client usually runs on the same machine as the browser, this setting doesn't make any difference when using SSH as SOCKS proxy!

When using SOCKS over SSH and running the SSH client on your local machine, DNS resolution will always happen on you local machine as well (except when using DoH of course)!

This is already being done in many cities. Although, usually without the fish.

When Vancouver built its athletes' village for the 2010 games, it included a large swale to clean the wastewater before it went back into the bay.

In Las Vegas, after going through preliminary treatment, all waste water goes through a massive swale complex before returning to Lake Mead. The swale complex is known as Clark County Wetlands Park, and Lake Las Vegas.

In Chicago, most new large skyscraper projects have to have stormwater handling systems. Very often these days they're going into natural treatments like public/private parks and landscaping. The reason for this isn't environmental, though. It's economic.

I think a response would take about 30 minutes billed time to tell them that it's fair use. If Sega decided to drop their DMCA claim, I don't think the cost would exceed 2 hours billed time even if they decided to write back or schedule a conference call about it or whatever. Depending on the nature of the claim, Sega's real disposition, and what was on the page, a counternotice might have sufficed to clear it up without ever contacting Sega.

Note that what they did really is fair use -- there are lots of situations in which people think that fair use extends farther than it really does.

Hiring a lawyer to fight a DMCA claim is not the same as hiring one to defend you in a lawsuit or a criminal matter.
Reminds me of the "Siemens Healthineers" madness. German companies are really good ruining perfectly fine brands (look e.g. at the new BMW logo), so I wouldn't be suprised if this was real. If they really want to change the name why not just use "Volta", which at least is short.
I really don’t understand NFTs. You’re not buying a thing. You’re buying a hex code. Take for instance these NBA clips. Are you getting an exclusive license to the clip? No. Are you getting an exclusive login to view the clip? Also no.

A few weeks ago some artist said he was selling a “limited edition of one” image as NFT. I downloaded the image off the web, and tweeted, “And now there are two.”

At least the MP3 Warz was about copyright and licenses. NFTs feel like their nothing but bragging rights among a small clique of the ultra rich.

Can Sled Dogs and Wild Mustangs Work Together?
In a very reductionist mood, I observe two overly simplified employee behaviors. Some people are like sled dogs. They love to be put in a harness, pointed in a direction, and told to run. And others are more like wild mustangs, who value autonomy and creativity and self direction.

I'm observing that its hard for the two behaviors to work together. Can they? How does a small team, where some are sled dogs, and some are mustangs, play off of each other's strengths so that both are happy and feel useful?

This is fairly gross, pretending to be socially concious when if the technical claims were true it would be a horrific potential for abuse (revenge porn etc).

NFT's have nothing to do with ownership, if someone puts up your data illegally or even just breaking copyright, get the police / a lawyer involved and they will take it down, luckily NFTs are heavily centralised so it wont be difficult.

This shows another huge misunderstanding of "amdahl's law". Again it is a very simple ratio.

Programmers who are much more effective are that way due to a lot of reasons you are missing. Amdahl's law is about programs that have parts that must be done and must be serial.

Great programmers are doing a lot less. They aren't wasting time with all the things you wrote here because what they make works, doesn't break, scales, and doesn't need to be changed while being much simpler. If you look at the source for doom, it doesn't have huge amounts of class hierarchies and ridiculous plumbing from bloated frameworks. John Carmack didn't go down a bunch of rabbit holes to procrastinate getting things to work. He isn't wasting time communicating with customers (why can't someone else do this?). He doesn't need to waste as much time with documentation because what he does is simple and works without needing to be changed. Not only that, but someone else can do most of this too. Tests are the same way.

The mistakes here are thinking that you have to waste a good programmer's time with nonsense and that they are trying to do what the average programmer is doing faster. The average programmer is terrible and is perpetually pushing their boulder up hill because they don't understand what is happening with what they write. They don't understand what will be slow, what is already simple, what has already been done etc. They create nonsense that is always being redone like someone trying to build a new house out of cardboard every time it rain because other materials are 'too heavy' or 'too expensive'.

Interestingly enough, most NFT would disagree with you as long as they are backed by content-addressable systems. What do you mean with that "NFTs are heavily centralized"? The metadata itself is stored on Ethereum or similar while the actual bytes of the media is stored in IPFS. How is that centralized?

GitHub: General availability of secret scanning for private repositories

Even before Draft PRs existed, I would often encourage especially junior devs to open PRs early and just include a note (in the description or the first commit) with a "Work in Progress" or "Not Ready to Merge" type comment and then either delete that (if in the description) or add a new comment with "Ready to Merge" or similar when ready.

It's great to see GitHub add this as a real tool now, but there's always been lots of good reasons to open PRs early, evolve them rapidly with discussion, and merge them only once discussion converges. It can be a useful workflow for some types of teams.

What they did was absolutely reprehensible, but I later learned that the more accurate story is that they bore the brunt of media attention for something that nearly every auto manufacturer was later found to be doing -

That doesn't make it any less wrong, but it does put them back on par with just about every other auto manufacturer in my mind. And it does seem (as others have cited) like there was some genuine change that followed.
That's just it. There are millions of developers who could do FAANG jobs. Or at least, hundreds of thousands.

The companies go through hoops -- or rather, make you jump through hoops -- to get what they imagine to be the "cream of the crop". But the vast majority of them will tell you that they're not really that much more productive than the next developer who didn't make the cut. They're not sucking up all the 10x developers while the rest of us are stuck with 1x developers. Even if their tests really did get them the 10x developers, they could get a 9.9x developer for half the price.

Worldwide, it's certainly millions. Even just in the US, it's tens of thousands at a minimum, if not hundreds of thousands.

FAANG developers get paid mid six figures because FAANG companies make 11 figures. Lifeguards are not less skilled, more numerous, or less important. They just don't have access to the enormous pot of money. Same with schoolteachers, programmers in other industries, and lots of other people.

Being a programmer is great, and a lot of us are really good at our jobs. No reason to break our arms patting ourselves on the back. We're incredibly fortunate to be skilled at something that's making somebody a ton of money, and they're slightly unbinding the mouths of us kine who tread the grain. But we should remember that this is more about luck than our inherent greatness -- and that goes 10X for FAANG employees.
