TFA goes into this in detail. They asked Carey, he said Montañez came up with the flavour. Then they confronted Carey with the fact that the product pre-exists Montañez‘s involvement by years, and was developed by other people entirely. Carey replied that Montañez was essential in “reformulating” the flavour to make it the success it is today.

Then they asked the company about that, and Frito Lay responded that they’ve been buying the same seasoning from McCormick since the initial 1989 test market trials in the northeast that predate Montañez’s 1993-1994 Sabrositas pitch. Not only has it not been reformulated, Montañez entire story (not directly related in this article) of single handedly developing the flavouring to dunk unflavoured cheetos he took home with him for his pitch must be bullshit, since it’s entirely developed by and sourced from a third-party company.

His response:

> Carey said he was unsure how to account for that contradiction. “I’m sure if you went back into the Frito-Lay history, OK, there’s probably something in 1990 that was a test market on a spicy product,” he said. “I’ll be surprised if it was this same ingredient, but it could have been, I guess.”

“Ok sure, the entire product may already have been in test somewhere else and I’d be very surprised to learn it had all the same ingredients”, which it did. Incredible stuff. Probably just a coincidence he also gets co-speaking fees with Montañez in some appearances.
I basically never redeem deposits either. My town recycling center, which I go to a few times a year basically to dump all my Amazon cardboard, has a place you can leave deposit containers for a local animal shelter so I accumulate and take it in along with the cardboard.

Isn't there a lot of uncertainty as to how well proof-of-stake will work?
It's an autistic thing, especially visible on HN.

You get the same argument for eliminating airline pilots, yet when an engine explodes, I want pilots to deal with the emergency.
Bank error in your favor, collect ~~$200~~ $10M.
It's just status quo. How would you feel about introducing having to log things into file after all you needed was stdout?

Btw, you still can do that nothing is stopping you, but I don't think each and every service needs to decide (and let user configure) where to put its logs, how to separate them (maybe by errors, maybe by users/domains) and how to rotate them.

I'm still not a big fan of systemd but it does make some things easier (but why wouldn't they think for a moment how easy "systemctl restoptart foo" will be to type, tab complete and issue different commands one after another)
Fair. I think it's because systemd lets you use slashes in unit names, but you can't represent those as files so you have to use a dash instead. This is the worst for the root filesystem mounted at / since that's the entire name. In systemd's defense, it warns you when you try systemctl status the normal way.

Hint: to specify units starting with a dash, use "--":
systemctl [OPTIONS...] COMMAND -- -.mount ...

I found my mount names by running systemctl list-units, so it's not something I had to look up.
I'd start by looking at the systemd unit files in /etc/systemd/system. Beware of service wants.

I had straight up errors in a network unit file that caused weird behavior (IP address disappearing). This was a long time ago though. Sometimes moving a unit from one target (graphical) to an earlier (multiuser) solves the issue.

You might also have "defaults" in /usr/lib/systemd/ to compare with.

systemctl and friends are really good tools for troubleshooting but takes a little while to get used to. Duck duck go is your friend.

Finally, some volume technologies like VDO requires a x-systemd.requires statement in fstab.
those are somewhat different. these are intermediaries when doing a hack. the hackers target smaller defi protocols with flash loans for example
> with a layout override to call that modified filter instead of the normal content

Would it apply to all content in a specific layout or only specific bits of a certain layout?

With the way I have it set up with Jekyll, only a specific post gets the audioseek timestamps added to it, because I wouldn't want it to apply to all lists on the site. I also happen to share a single layout for both podcasts and interviews and interview lists shouldn't get processed with audioseek'd timestamps.

With Jekyll this is super easy to pull off because it's only a custom filter. It can be applied to the specific content I want without having to worry about layouts.
Thanks for the feedback! Those are valid points.
I agree that initially it can feel overwhelming, but once that initial stage passes you understand the potential it has. But there is always unavoidable complexity when your product is a combination of several tools in the same place - text editor, calendar, to-do list, and so on.

Regarding making a small market reach compared to Word - that's true but bear in mind that this is a product that was originally launched 5 years ago, and only in 2018 it started gaining significant traction.
I learned LogiQL [1] in 2012, which is a Datalog-inspired language. We were writing an OLAP system and wrote some pieces by hand but a large chunk of our star schema was generated via Python + templates.

> To each their own, but I won't touch Alpine (outside of docker use) until they get systemd....

Luckily that won't happen as systemd doesn't support musl which Alpine uses for libc.

You described a Custom Element a Web Component is a branding phrase for component that uses the four following specs:

* Custom Elements

* Shadow DOM (seems to be optional in practice)

* HTML Template Elements

* ES Modules (formerly HTML Imports)
Mildly off topic question:

If one had Bitcoin in an exchange instead of an offline wallet, does that mean that when forks occur, the exchange does not give you coins in the fork?

Also, what about PoS coins? Aren't those vastly more efficient than any of these?

In 1988 I was working at Mentor Graphics, in Beaverton, Oregon.

One day somebody mentioned that, at some unknown time in the previous three months, somebody had raided all the Macs in managers' offices, removing all but one memory stick in each. Nobody had noticed.

Also: I found an invoice I paid in the early '90s, $1000 for eight one-megabyte RAM SIMMs. Yes, megabytes. They filled out an Apple SE/30 I used to run Apple A/UX. (A/UX was Apple's Unix, System V with Berkeley extensions, and a Mac System 7 GUI emulator, which worked.) It compiled Gcc in about 2 hours. It had–well, has, still–an 80MB disk drive.

I only just recently found out I could have put in 4MB sticks not long after, and had 32M instead, which would have felt infinite.
This also shows how little security probing is performed on cryptocurrencies and smart contracts. It took over a month and a huge bounty to find the bug in this contract. The likelihood of finding bugs in other currencies and contracts is extremely high despite millions of dollars of value relying on it.

Most cryptocurrencies and smart contracts are copy and paste with little analysis of the underlying code. To the creators the incentive is to create something fast and without expending any extra effort. The losers are always the users who put their trust in the creators. An ideal open source decentralised system should allow the users to verify the claims of the creators but the reality is that the code and the systems around it are far too complex for any single person to be able to verify quickly.

Does anyone know of any organisations that can vet smart contracts and provide insurance in case they get hacked or fail in other ways?

Starting in August, Google is requiring new apps in the Play Store to start using app bundles instead of APKs; I have never tried to work with these .apkm files, but I would be concerned Android is moving in the same direction here.
> I think I am willing to agree with your interpretation of the quote. It may have not been a good example since I can't really go into more details here.

All good. I totally accept that that individual quote did not do justice to the situation you were trying to convey. I am not trying to be aggressive.

> I do have a philosophical objection though. Unlike Dr. House, I do not possess merely theoretical capacity for being wrong. I recognize I can be wrong and I recognize that me being wrong has real world consequences that I need to consider.

I am an overwhelming extrovert. I believe that your gripe is less about inro vs. extro, and much much more about culture. I have worked in environments where being wrong but trying hard is applauded, and I have worked in environments where being wrong (regardless of how or why) is shamed. The latter feels bad to me, as it sounds like it would you.

> It is not about shaking my confidence. It is about whether it is possible I am wrong in this particular case. Confidence is pointless here since the consequences involved will not be BSed away.

I totally agree with you. If getting something wrong will cause any kind of problem (beyond just, "lets fix it and keep going"), it's a culture problem and rightly will impact your confidence.

I would say, your boss was probably a moron, but not necessarily because they were an extrovert.
> Do you believe Facebook is the only company that would ever be affected by this?

It's quite clear that GDPR allows data to cross the border, if particular safeguards are guaranteed by the data recipient.

That continues to be the advice generally given following the rejection of "Privacy Shield" e.g. by https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/third-countries/

This particular ruling affects only Facebook (and is specifically against Facebook), because it is only Facebook that has here been identified as failing to offer those safeguards.

Google similarly is a tech giant operating across this border, and doesn't currently face such a sanction.
it looks really nice :) Im in love with the BEAM at the moment, Gleam looks really nice as well.
Not All Fairy Tales Have Happy Endings by Ken Williams is another interesting one. It's more focused on the business side of the early game industry (especially the end of Sierra, and the author's side of the story relating to all the shenanigans involved), but it's a quick, interesting read. Probably people who weren't around in the 90s have forgotten how huge Sierra was in PC gaming.
The logging is amazing. Transparent compression, easy search, output in JSON if you want to parse logs, timestamps with microseconds if you need them.

No, writing stuff to a file was not fine. It's only fine if all you do is to 'tail' and 'grep' it, but any time you want to do something more advanced, it's a bloody mess.

Why parse a text date, when it started its life as an unix timestamp? Why write a bunch of regular expressions trying to get basic data such as an HTTP response code, when it could be a field in the log that you could just search for? Why deal with parsing while the log may rotate or truncate under you, when the log system could be making your life easier?

I wrote a whole bunch of log parsing stuff in my day, and so I have no nostalgia whatsoever regarding this "just write stuff to a file" approach.
Does anyone else feel like replacing all the legacy finance infrastructure with decentralised code is going to produce a worrying number of stories like this? Most of the examples I've seen so far it's happening to someone who works in tech, has disposable income, and is generally a proponent of cryptocurrency.

I haven't written a lot of decentralised code in production, but I get the impression there is generally more to consider, and a fun new class of failure modes to worry about.
Someday some engineer working on these kinds of contracts will realize they can make a lot more money illegally by “accidentally” adding such bugs to the ecosystem then colluding with whoever exploits them.

Actually it’s probably already happening.
I love Gentoo and really like they chose to make eudev and a elogind so I can continue to use OpenRC, which has been working great for me since forever.
> "I have Signal installed on my phone" seems a reasonable disclosure of a known potential trap.

No, that's a straightforward statement of fact which a software expert might realize implies there's a trap. A police officer could not reasonably be expected to know that.

A reasonable disclosure of a known potential trap is

"I have Signal installed on my phone, so if you use a Cellebrite device to pull my data your Cellebrite device might get hacked by Signal."

There are MCUs costing less than a cent.

It was likelly cheaper, but now they paid likelly hundredfold of what could've ever been saved.
It is at least built in a logical way and once you understand that logic then related commands will be discoverable.

`systemctl` is the systemd command line tool for inspecting and manipulating services/units.
`systemctl status` is the command for showing the status of a service or unit.

The `--` part is not specific to systemd at all, it's used in many commands to separate flags from positional arguments. This lets you use positional arguments that might happen to start with a dash without them being interpreted as flags. [1].

systemd manages mounts, they're named according to the mount point, with a transformation to turn it into a filename (mostly converting slashes to dashes, plus a .mount suffix). Hence, the root mount ('/') is named '-.mount'.

I wasted a lot of time chasing women and dated many attractive ones, including a few signed models, in my mid 20s and now I’m married to someone I consider hot (plus a ton other great qualities that models often lack). I think wasted a lot of time. I don’t think you’re wrong at all but this is PUA-centric life advice. If your goal is to have sex with beautiful women, sure, it’s possible (for more than just rich, established, or extremely good looking men), and after great effort and sinking a lot of time in, you can accomplish that and brag to the internet how successful you are.

But, none of that negates what the poster above you is saying. If you spend your younger years focusing on yourself and your career and gaining meaningful life experience instead of chasing thousands of women, that problem should solve itself. I can’t imagine any woman that would make a non-miserable partner would be attracted to the Tucker Max type - although sadly this is what our culture is heading towards.
I don't think anyone is really targeting JS-less users. It's mostly for faster first renders and the examples of JS-less is to typically show something has been SSR'd and not yet hydrated / not loading anything that isn't needed for first render.
Absolutely. By the way, it seems many frontend developers generally prefer box-sizing:border-box, and Bootstrap sets it for all elements by default.

Which can be a little disturbing when you don't know it, work on a project that includes bootstrap and you expect content-box. Fortunately, browser dev tools are good at telling you what is going on.

Am I reading something wrong?

To me, it looks like it is saying that Bitcoin uses 830kWh and Ethereum uses almost 38 times that.

Considering >1% of the world's energy is used by Bitcoin - it seems virtually impossible for Ethereum to use 38x more energy...

Rust has great tooling compared to C++, at least on mainstream platforms. It's a no-brainer choice for green-field projects where low-level development is required.

And the misfeatures of C++ are the stuff of legend, so Rust does way better from that POV as well.

These days I see it as a bonus. I don't want to mess around with the boot process. I don't want to write some sort of glue layer in between loosely coupled parts. And I certainly don't want somebody else to do it either, because that too often tends to result in some kind of surprise that one has to deal with at 3 AM.

I agree that it's pretty simple to get a button on screen in Qt, but your linked video presents it as horribly complicated. And requiring an IDE to do it is pre-admitting it's complicated.

By the way - Qt and GTK are super-outdated ways to do GUI in C++. Popular, but outdated.
What I can tell as an engineer, is that the main issue boils down to the level of maturity for the technologies you mention in your writing. It's not enough to have publications demonstrating feasibility, as from labs to field applications it's a long way, where non-trivial work has to be invested in things to make them useful enough for any practical purpose. The weak chain-link is electronics tech, which has been developed to cover energy handling, sensor data acquisition, information processing, and electromagnetic field based communication, to name a few. Things change, and as Robotbeat's comment here¹ says, we may rely on silicon carbide based chips now, for information processing at least. You mention using sound for echolocation and communication on short range scale, but the main communication issue is on long scale. You mention wind power but, due to its mechanical nature, there is wear and tear involved that has to be also addressed as part of an engineering solution to confer it any practical value, and not much thought has been allotted to those kind of conditions. To sum it up, in regard to Venus ground activity, the technical means we still have at our disposal are currently still mediocre, unfortunately.

Unless you're an information security professional, it seems unreasonable to expect an average Signal user to know more about the security of Cellebrite than Cellebrite's user (the police).
This is a common error even back in the Sysvinit days. /dev/disks/by-label is not guaranteed to map the name labels to disks on every boot, and it can change with boot timing based on the storage controller behavior. Use /dev/disks/by-uuid instead.

/dev/disks/by-label is a legacy from the old days of systems with static disks wired in a specific, unchanging configuration.

> This is dumb. The transaction confirmations are not equivalent between chains.

Specifically, if there were two identical cryptocurrencies that only differ by difficulty (eg. coin A with difficulty of 1 and coin B with difficulty of 10), the coin with the lower difficulty might be 10x more efficient, but also 10x easier to rewrite. For proof of stake coins, it's essentially "free" if you can get enough people on board (since you won't be penalized, only the losing chain would be).
