The contents of that hardcoded dictionary are really weird, too. It includes a lot of bizarrely specific entries like:

Many of the English phrases (like "in popular culture"!) are highly characteristic of content from the English Wikipedia. I've speculated before that this may be the result of the use of a compression benchmark which included (or consisted entirely of) content from that site, such as https://cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/textdata.html

If you're curious, here's a full dump of the dictionary:

They did release the DOOM 3 engine as open source in 2011 after being bought by Bethesda in 2009. Microsoft owns them and Bethesda now and they have been getting more open source lately. Although I think it was more Carmack who was pushing for the engine's to be open sourced.
Is this the same exploit that was reported to Valve in like 2018?
I understand they probably tried to keep to 3 letters (because history), but I'm unreasonably annoyed they didn't go with .zstd :(

Then it is also easy to imagine that the same police would not take mugshots of the people they want to disappear.
Seaborn can definitely take longer to render than matplotlib in some (many?) cases, but is often much much faster in actually writing out the code to generate the plots.

I think when most people complain about 'matplotlib not being efficient' (or whatever), they're talking about the time it takes to hammer out the plot, not necessarily the render time (unless they're trying to do animations...)

Do you think it won't become normal for people to present a fingerprint or a face scan in order to buy and sell things online? We already have a similar process for people visiting businesses during a pandemic.
Maybe not quite the right specific area here, but IMO the next "big thing" will probably be AI-generated code of some form. This will let organizations employ fewer developers and instead license AI services (e.g. GPT-3) to have it generate code for some app, then have maybe 1/10th the developer overhead they otherwise would go over that generated code and tweak it as necessary to make the end result better and compensate for the shortcomings of AI at present, with the eventual goal being to replace the developer all together with AI-generated apps.

Then, hosting those apps in some form will likely need to adopt AI-centric workflows in some way. We might even see AI-driven request routing and AI-driven WAF features at some point, too.
Pretty sure they're not the only ones out there doing that
Its like this:
You have one manager process and one GPU process for everyone. (Mind you that this is chrome based, but its quite modified i must say).

Then for each application:
You have a "service process" which is instantiated and is always running, this process asks for the manager to create its rpc service server. Then every rpc call is routed to it.

This application service process is already coded by the developer so he defines what every api does and also how it respond to resources like pages, images, videos, etc..
(it also uses RPC by default to route resources.. but its through HTTP/2 giving its gRPC/Protobuf)

This process, totally in control of the dev code also can hijack its own application launches, so its in charge of app launching and killing (from its own scope)

Then theres the UI process which is akin to renderer and its also coded by the dev, where the renderer is in Swift so totally customizable (Imagine being able to control the C++ renderer events, lifetime, frames, etc.. of the chrome renderer process; in this case you do, with Swift), giving you have a lot of power.

The developer control, codes and ship the service and the ui app. Once its installed, even without any UI, all other applications can consume its services over its RPC api, because there is a 'service process' running and serving those requests (imagine being able to deal with twitter or a google search api (all local and with the same tech) from your app that is specialized in something else)

Yes of course! How can i reach you?
First of all, when we read or hear about severe illnesses due to COVID in the news and articles, what they mean is hospitalization, ICU, and death. Are your coworkers in the hospital? If so, my thoughts and prayers go to them. I hope they make it.

Second of all, the choice was never between giving two doses to 16 million people (as of today) or giving one dose to 16 million people. The choice was giving two doses to 8 million people or one dose to 16 million people. The total death toll from the pandemic would be lower the sooner we get to the point of herd immunity. Giving everyone one dose gets us there sooner and ultimately saves lives.
> Several hundred services probably means going too far to the microservices side.

You can easily hit that in a small fortune 500 company with ~10,000 employees, without microservices.

There's less demand for this in Minetest, though, because modding Minetest is already super easy in Lua—you don't have to learn Java like you do for Minecraft. But you can't load a Lua mod even in Minetest if you don't run the server.

Mobile-code environments for mutually distrusting code turn out to be more difficult than people used to think, but now we have multiple off-the-shelf battle-tested implementations of JS for that. And you can coerce Lua to do it, kind of.
He's made a number of inappropriate (including some incredibly misogynistic) comments in his writings and online. A lot of Apple employees complained, and so he was fired before he even started.

Both sides are at fault here: AGM said some nasty things, and Apple failed to do its due diligence before recruiting him.
There was a public outcry against Apple hiring him, as he wrote misogynistic things as part of some book. I only read the excerpt, which wasn’t great towards women. No idea if it was serious or what the whole book was about.
I am usually very anti advertising, but I don’t understand the backlash here. If it’s done tastefully as you describe it’s basically just a hands free QR code.

Rules:

- opt in: nothing happens unless I click the “I saw something on a billboard” button

- no animation or sound, just a button/link
> The company's patent filing describes a system that would equip cars with billboard-reading sensors, allowing cars to scan roadside signs for relevant information and then display them on screens inside smart cars.

This is absurd, why would they need "billboard-reading sensors"?

All they would need is the car's access to GPS. If an advertiser wants in-Ford ads to go along with a billboard, famous landmark, or a famous person's house they can do that.

I see zero needs for the archaic concept of a "billboard" to need to transmit data to a car in the future.

*Snip*

Context: News broke earlier this week that Apple had hired García Martínez for an unspecified role.

Apple did not say what exactly García Martínez' position was, but sources said he was hired for a lower-level engineering role and started last week.

In the petition, first reported by the Verge, employees write: "We demand an investigation into how his published views on women and people of color were missed or ignored, along with a clear plan of action to prevent this from happening again."

In one passage from "Chaos Monkeys," García Martínez describes women in the Bay Area as "soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit.”

This passage was also cited online when García Martínez started writing for Wired magazine.

Salvaged from my own current tab overload:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookwheel

I occurred to me that this might make a nice working metaphor for web browsers:

Make a virtual wheel with a defined (default-manageable) number of positions to fill.

Add ability to rotate, or slide, in a number of such wheels.

Any wheel that doesn't get active use for some reasonable amount of time goes automatically from active inventory to searchable long term archives.
Pretty much a hard no. Bethesda has stated that Id engines are to be used for internal projects only.
Great analogy! But it's probably all three: debugging (is it correct?), refactoring (readability), optimizing (succinctness). And likely in that order. Exactly the priority ordering as in programming also. Will keep this in mind!
Latest storm in a teacup over a minor celebrity engineer getting let go from Apple after other employees discover his book has some misogynistic / ill-advised / heartfelt / probably-true (pick according to your convictions) opinions about SV women.
True. But the key difference, for now, is that I, again, perhaps mistakenly, believe that their interest still is to make something that serves my purpose well enough for me to want to buy more of their products later.

That, in some way, their way of selling me stuff is to align their interests with mine (as long as I subscribe to their closed way of doing things).

Which isn’t something I can say I believe of Facebook, Google, LG or Samsung (I believe they once even made their TVs connect to public open WiFis when you didn’t set them up. Makes me want to tear out that antenna).

Even though it’s perhaps only marketing posturing; the App Store ads are starting to blur that line. And I could see how well targeted ads could be construed to yield the same effect.
>and Apple failed to do its due diligence before recruiting him.

Seems to be contradicted by the tweet?

>3. Apple was well aware of my writing before hiring me. My references were questioned extensively about my bestselling book and my real professional persona (rather than literary one).
No, the site has a timeline that says it was reported in January, but Valve didn't fix it until they got publicly shamed for not fixing the 2 year old RCE.
People willing to work on ad-tech are skeevy creeps.

Apple hired skeevy creep to work on ad-tech.

People got upset that Apple hired skeevy creep.

Apple fired/rescinded offer to skeevy creep.

Apple is likely about to pay a bunch of money to skeevy creep.
Is it okay to not get everything we want?
We have limited resources, especially if your care about humanity (or life in general) continuing on for awhile. I for one enjoy thinking about life thousands, millions of years hence, understanding and accepting that this book will probably close.
You can only protect people in general, not one specific person. If the police want to kill you they'll get away with it.
Do you have a source for this number? All of the evidence I've seen shows the mRNA vaccines are in the 80% effectiveness range after a single dose, but that data was not specific to any variants.

The last id engine released under the GPL was id tech 4, i.e. the Doom 3 engine (and the updated BFG version)*. id tech 5, 6, and 7 have since been used in Rage (2011), Doom (2016), and Doom Eternal (2020). Carmack was the only guy who both cared about open-source and had the juice to make it happen, but he left in 2013. So I kinda doubt it.

Sounds like where I ended up. We had a moderately successful company doing a lot of ~$100K deals and once we became financially sustainable we merged with a supposedly larger company in a complementary field with a view to accelerating our sales and getting access to a larger and more experienced tech team.

It turns out that they didn’t care at all about our regular little deals - the sales lead bragged to me once that he didn’t “get out of bed for less than $1M”. Long story short they spent all their time chasing much larger deals, but landing far fewer of them, and like your experience, the bigger deals are more complex and expensive to service. It was all driven by ego instead of logic, and it ended pretty badly.
I won’t comment on this specific incident but I think this is one among many such incidents that are part of a new trend: what you say publicly has much more chance to bite you in the ass later. No matter how much you changed. This is especially dangerous for kids IMO as r/kidsarefuckingstupid.

I’ll add that I don’t necessarily think this trend will remain. I think there are two reasons that make the cancelling culture so powerful today:

- Internet amplifies social issues. Without internet and social networks my theory is that many oppressed minorities would never have gotten justice.

- On top of that America is realizing that most of the country is is still stuck in an embarrassingly dark past, and for many people a zero tolerance approach is the only way to fight this war. (Politics is war without blood.)
I've lived situation. Large co bought one of our systems, as their internally built systems weren't up to the task. We sold it at effectively break even. This was in part due to my business partner's view that we could turn this into a bigger deal.

Well, no. We couldn't.

The "customer" wanted specifically to see how we did what we did, in order to copy this. It took me a while to figure it out, but I did, and we wound up walking away from it. Partner was angry, but it was absolutely the right business decision to terminate the interaction.

PSA for any small startup firm with real differentiation: BigCo will, absolutely, positively will, try to see if they can replicate your value on their own rather than buy from you. Patents won't stop this. Pretty much nothing will, apart from an architecture and implementation that they don't understand. They will mess with you. Approach with extreme caution, and be prepared to cut bait quickly.

Why have them moonlight as hackers when you can get third parties to do what you want? I don't believe for a second that it's an elaborate conspiratorial scheme directed from the top.

It's the same as domestic operations here in the USA: GRU comes up with ways to run loosely controlled groups that are accomplishing roughly the same ends. It's about making the battle space more confusing and unpredictable, and it's been going on for quite some time, very successfully. The soldiers don't report back to central control: they're NOT controlled, they're just loosely directed.

This would be the same. The hackers doing this don't have to be direct agents here, they're sheltered by the Russian state and only need to have some indication of where and what to strike. It's one-way communication, and it's possible to get the desired feedback through things like Facebook and Google Analytics (by paying for it like any ordinary customer).

> Apt, more often than not, acts as a gatekeeper for the latest version

It's a distro policy issue, not a package manager issue. There are rolling distros using apt - for example https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable which is updated every 6 hours.

The same way rpm is just a packaging format - you can have both the stable (fosilised) CentOS and the fresh Fedora / CentOS-Stream using it.
I told you they were angry!
Yup. Had a similar experience with a BigCo and an investment. Part of the terms they were insisting on was an irrevocable global license to use our tech, name, trademarks, etc. for them and their partners. Our lawyers said they were trying to buy us on the cheap.
I will never understand why people link to paid articles in a public forum. There are too many other reliable sources for that exact info for anyone who isn’t wealthy to pay for dumb sites like that.

I don't think this is as easy as we would like it to be.

If they are posting mugshots online, maybe they should also be required to post all police interaction's with the public online (including bodycam footage, etc).

Or maybe none of it should be posted online, and if you are interested in it, you have to go to the courthouse and get the record.

I think the problem really is deeper than that. I think all government actions should be public within a reasonable time.

Now we have to define reasonable time. Ughh.
So, just so you understand where our heads are at: we want our users to light their apps up with lots of Prometheus metrics. Then we want them to be able to pop up a free-mode Grafana Cloud site, aim it at our API, add a dashboard, start typing a metric name and have it autocomplete to all possible metrics.

That pretty much works now?

I see the ideological purity case you two are making for "true Prometheus", but it is not at all clear to me how doing a purer version of Prometheus would make any of our users happier.

What am I missing?
> I think the icons should "snap" to a grid in traditional Windows fashion (unless I'm mistaken).

It was the default in later Windows like 7 but I remember I could drag them anywhere on Windows 98 and if I wanted them aligned on a grid I had to use an option in the context menu (that was a one time option that would align them, if I dragged another icon it wouldn't auto align to grid until I clicked that option again).

The idea is that you don't want to fill the memory chunk with real data from the server but keep the contents that happen to be in there from previous allocations. Then when the proxy later retrieves the contents of the memory chunk they get essentially a random block of old heap contents. Thats valuable because those will contain (vtable) pointers that reveal where in memory the game was loaded - most executables nowadays use ASLR so a prerequisite to an exploit is having some sort of information leak like this that can tell you the base address.

I don’t think credibility is the right word. I agree that a well known customer can help the sales process up to a point. But I f you are in a b2b business and you have 100 customers on your books then having a name-brand customer is probably not that important.

In fact, if you have 100 customers on your books then it’s likely that customer number 101 has heard of many of them even if the regular guy on the street has not.

That one big customer - especially if it’s an early one - can really screw up your relationships with the customers that actually spend money with you - and what happens to your credibility when they quit?
