The PE should also be doing a lot of behind the scenes (from senior dev pov) strategy work with leadership team w.r.t identifying long term technical risks and ensuring right investments happen, grooming tech talent bench through perf/promo processes, seeding/sponsoring new tech initiatives etc.

All this is informed by the observations and insights that come from the "support" work they do in those outage huddles or design discussion meetings.

The technical thought leadership work they do with the business/product leadership team is where they really earn their paycheck.
Monero transactions use ring signatures and are very difficult to trace. Each transaction is signed by at least 11 keys and there's no way to tell which key is the source of the coins. The source and destination addresses as well as the transaction amounts don't show up on the block chain. Even if they did people can just make new subaddresses to make correlation extremely difficult if not impossible.

The US treasury tried to sanction a Monero address once. They ended up sanctioning a transaction identifier.

Sleeping just long enough to fill the remaining time-slot for an operation is actually a valid countermeasure; in theory.

The problem is figuring out how much sleep is necessary based on what variable time work has been done, and actually sleeping the right amount. This can be difficult with the granularity involved.

In practice, attempting to fill the remaining time is either not effective, or requires a level of instrumentation that severely degrades performances.

I'd recommend section 5 of https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/613.pdf for a survey of these ideas.

Using Kubernetes to rethink your system architecture and ease technical debt
I got a 16" MBP last year in order to WFH. I could not get it to work with an old 1920x1200 Dell monitor using DVI adapters. Months later I bought a 1440 monitor that works over HDMI and DisplayPort, but the display is fuzzy. I found some tweaks to improve it, but it's still noticeably worse than a hackintosh running High Sierra.

I have felt like the performance isn't great, but I chalked it up to Docker and the Linux VM it uses. However, I also noticed that the computer was warm to the touch with fans running even when I hadn't used it for hours. I've taken to manually forcing it to sleep at the end of the day.

I'm excited to try this HiDPI hack, because it may solve the power usage problem and the fuzzy display. It would be a real shame to lose the built-in display if this only works in clamshell mode, but it just might be worth it.

Edit: I just realized that I can't use Touch ID in clamshell mode. That makes this a harder call.
Usually, getting older Linux games to run is way harder than getting their windows equivalent to run through wine, simply because the libraries it's using have moved on since.
A case where it can matter is when there is no clear commitment yet to use that API.

For instance if there is 2 or 3 alternative services, and you want to explore one of them to have a better idea of the trade-offs. Setting up an account and making “real” requests will be your benchmark.

Actually, even for a service with a decent chance to commit to it, there will still be an exploration phase to get an estimate for the implementation cost. Depending on how much the devs struggle to just try the API, the project could get more or less reprioritized for lower hanging fruits.

3.) If you are establishing emergency fund, then you are less poor. Also, poor don't do career choices, they have jobs or don't have jobs.

That’s true, but it’s just as dumb to say that success is all or mostly luck.

> Java for enterprise server software.

Big corporations are horribly inefficient and Enterprise Software necessarily so from that...if you're saying Java is terrible by nature of it being the goto for enterprise, then that makes sense. It took 20 years for it to swap places with COBOL and I expect it will be something else in 20 more.
No one is saying only privileged people can be successful. Just that observation has shown that the odds are stacked against them. I would call that unjust, and thus would be accused of playing the status game.

You claim that MySQL 8 is ahead when it comes to scalability. What are the bases of this claim? When I see comparisons or entire systems that rely on a database (that is, not micro-benchmarks) such as the TechEmpower web framework benchmarks [0] , I notice that the 'Pg' results cluster near the top, with the "My" results showing up further down the rankings. I understand this isn't version 14 of the former versus version 8 of the latter. But it makes me wonder what the basis of your claims is.

This has changed hugely in Europe over the last generation. Certainly here in the UK there is zero appetite for nationalised industry and strong centralised industrial policy. The last labour government under Blair and Brown avoided such talk as utter poison, and Corbyn, the last Labour leader to openly talk about such things may well have killed the Labour party stone dead. They've now got a very centrist leader, but the harm is beginning to look incurable.

Socialism today in Europe mostly means Scandinavian style strong social policy combined with a very large private industrial sector. Even the Conservative party here in the UK is fully on board with this approach, it's just a matter of proportions. Conservative leaders ever since Maggie have bent over backwards to show support for the National Health Service for example. Now ok, whether that's at all genuine or not is a separate question, but the political reality is that switching to a system of private health care is inconceivable here even for the political right. It would be just as suicidal as talking about nationalisation was for the left.

So the voting public have resoundingly rejected both hard left socialism and radical right market reform, in certain sectors. It's not a matter of ideological purity or even consistency, just a matter of which model has worked out for which type of industry or service.

There's a very interesting comparison to be made between Wittgenstein and Spinoza, but saying something like "basically just a rehash" completely missed the point. Saying that Spinoza is "just a rehash" of Stoic ideas is a bit more correct, and still not very interesting outside of a very specified discussion.

The title "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" was not Wittgenstein's idea, but Moore's.
For open source games, sure.

But this isn't an open source game, as far as I can see, and most games aren't.

Also I often find the fixed releases of most distros to be a bad fit for games because the stability argument matters less and less - there's little in the way of backward compatibility to keep, and hence no real reason not to upgrade.

(not that I'm much of a believer in fixed releases to begin with)

Indeed. Growing up playing with voice recognition on Windows I knew how to talk to computers. You speak clearly, enunciate your consonants, and keep a consistent pace and even tone. When I used my "computer voice" on Android I could carry on a text or IM conversation with my phone sitting in my pocket. Nowadays it hasn't gotten any better at understanding my natural drawl but the "computer voice" fills the sentences with bizarre punctuation and randomly-capitalized words that make me look like a lunatic.

I really don't know just what the hell my phone wants from me anymore.

I spent a good hour just getting the Box cli running yesterday... Which requires a developer account, creating a 'custom app' to facilitate the CLI interactions, going into an obscure admin interface to approve the request to make the custom app, generating a key pair and downloading configurations for the app, downloading npm crud, and sharing data with the service account associated with the custom app, using uids that aren't terribly obvious in the user facing world.

But then it works just fine! :P
>But did warfare really play out that way? Teeth found in fifth-century B.C. mass graves in Sicily suggest otherwise

Teeth found in one city (out of the major cities of mainland ancient Greece, Sicily's was more recent-ish colonies) is not exactly proof of widespread mercenary use "against popular lore" (which includes existing history and centuries of scholarship).

(They did use Scythes for something like guards/cops in Athens, and ocassionally made use of others, but nothing major).
Ask HN: What are these strange files that appeared on a WordPress website?
I noticed the following very large files that appeared on my server on a specific domain:

core.926

core.930

core.957

core.958

core.959

core.961

Each of the files is about 5GB in size. The web developers working on the website have no idea how the files got there.

I've since deleted them, but I'm just curious if anyone knows what these are. Is this some sort of vulnerability? Malware? Out of date WP plugins causing this? A search doesn't seem to pull up anything useful.

Seems like the solution to this problem is to figure out ways to have stronger networks of friends and family.

Of course short term disability insurance is effective for this specific instance, but loving parents, sibs, kids, cousins, etc is probably more robust.
Tons of organizations require your SSN to "put you in the system", including most higher ed institutions. And if you're hired, they'll need it legitimately anyways.

So while not ideal, this doesn't feel particularly egregrious to me. Of course, like any time you give out your SSN, you need to verify you're entering it on a legitimate site, or that you're dealing with a legitimate recruiter.

Pretty much every recruiting process at any large company has dumb policies, sadly. If something this small makes it "not worth it", I doubt any of the other companies would be "worth it" for you either.
I imagine being under mountains of student debt makes them more nervous.
Knowing what you're doing is the most influential thing - learn about individual and social psychology. It's an incredibly deep rabbit hole. Applying it on the field to "influence people" requires balls of steel and a level of smoothness you can get only with hard practical training; changing your goal to "using psychology to achieve mutually beneficial results" helps a lot.

As for the learning, Wikipedia is your biggest friend, but don't rely solely on it. Always try to consider multiple opinions, sources. Don't forget that words can have different meanings in different contexts, that's very often the case in psychology so never trust yourself and always check, even if you are sure.

Agreed with the first two. I’m happy with a different pricing model so long as it’s financially viable at our usage tier and self-serve. On a project with a budget, or with funding, there isn’t a meaningful difference between a free trial, prorated per call, and paying for a month upfront.
+1 for that eslint plugin, I was just idly wondering if something like that existed earlier this week. Thanks.
I agree. The act of trying itself opens you up to new possibilities which are just locked if one just complaints and do nothing about it. That's why trying is necessary.

But that doesn't mean one should deny the fact that some things are entirely dependent on pure luck. In my opinion, the luck part starts even before you're actually born (your place/country of birth, family etc.). So, one should acknowledge the fact that luck too played an important role in their current wealth along with their own hard work.

These are just some of the many improvements in the new Postgres release. You can find more on what's new in the release notes, such as:

Suppose I have the following struct and functions.

struct my_struct{int a; char private[10];}
void * get_struct_field_nonconst(struct my_struct *ptr)
{ return &(ptr->private[0]); }

With these elements you are only allowed to give non-const pointers to read or write inside private field.
In order to truly apply this to const pointers (no casting etc.) you will need another get_struct_field() function but defined as this.

const void * get_struct_field_const(const struct my_struct *ptr)
{ return &(ptr->private[0]); }

This will work but it is ugly. Here _Generic keyword allows you to write these functions but use them with a common name. Such as get_struct_field(). And that would be something like this:

#define get_struct_field(ptr) \
_Generic((ptr), \
const struct my_struct * : get_struct_field_const, \
struct my_struct * : get_struct_field_nonconst) \
(ptr)

Hope this would help!
Part of it is that there's just so many more people. Many more voices. And a louder speaker for them to yell into. And so much less reason to focus on any particular individual.

You could spend your whole life studying philosophy/economics/political science, etc, write an amazing thesis, many volumes long, have all sorts of insights. And in terms of the world's massive population: how would you stand out? Would you be famous? Would people read you? Considered canon / important? Unlikely. You might get some notoriety, but that notoriety is more likely to spread to rather mediocre or showmen pop-philosophers like a Jordan Peterson (or their equivalent on the "left").

And in some ways knowledge of many kinds has been democratized, and information and materials more broadly available to all. So we're building a broader knowledge base and things are applied in that way, rather than by "great men"... which is likely the sign of a mature civilization and a more democratic ethos.
