I think the problem is security in the software industry is not compatible with the US' volume production style economy, so more spending will be on more low/no assurance software that matches more checkboxes, raises costs and further deteriorates security. Companies that minimize their attack surfaces will be the only ones that cease to qualify for insurance under most legislation that would appeal to the industry.

People can be censored but wrong, however, that doesn't mean the censorship policy was good. Censorship distorts your information market and makes getting to the truth harder. Sure, only the general public might be being censored but that makes said public (and the news media) associate taking the censored hypothesis seriously with craziness and evil. Which makes it substantially harder for university scientists (and to an extent, government ones) to research (this can take the form of cancellations, like Steve Hsu, lack of funding or just reputational damage)

That looks like a CompEng degree, something of a mix of CS and EE content. The physics and digital circuits courses don't seem very typical of pure CS degrees.
Keep in mind that I am referring to this:

> If your path is sensitive to 200us of latency you should probably optimize your application and tune your GC.

> Don't guess, measure.

yes, I am saying that the original code has already gone through a complete optimization process, everything is written in written in assembly, and you are at 970us on your 1ms time budget. (I'm not pulling those out of thin air, I was literally at a client yesterday with some real-time code with a 1ms deadline on a desktop OS and we have to cram as much things as possible in that millisecond)
That's also a strength? If you (the technical founder) know how to leverage Scala and can hire competent Scala devs (there are a lot of them who exist), you can potentially cut your development team by some large factor.

> This article makes a decent point of that: now that Trump’s racism is out of the way, maybe we can more critically examine the facts.

I highly doubt it, in most cases "Reductio ad Trumperum" will remain a useful sleight of hand. This is a different matter, being "tough on China" is a bipartisan issue, it's just about showing how the other side was "doing it wrong". For instance, you could say that Trump had "no evidence" supporting his lab leak theory.

Since it's basic physics, how much power do you think is required to spin a cubic meter of water at 1g centrifugal force? How much energy is required to do that for a year?

I'm pretty sure it's lots :) I think that we just haven't figured out how to do this, so the "obvious" solution is not on the table (yet).

The government already has baseline security standards that are created and published by the government, not private entities. NIST 800-53[0] is a good example of this, and it generally applies to critical infrastructure providers:

Regulations should not adopt a private company's baseline security standard; we should lean on the work NIST has already done and standards that already apply to (mostly defense) critical infrastructure.

I think I agree with you almost fully but not quite. Systems design in the sense of 'designing systems' means that a lot of the time you are dealing with glue, but perhaps quite a bit of time is spent on the 'blueprint'. A good system design means that you can synthesise your learned knowledge with that of the body of knowledge to produce a new solution. So sure, you from experience know that a doesn't go with b, but if you include c, you can z. But sometimes you need to break things down further, to components you have haven't used, have never seen before, and only barely understand. This is where your CS first principles come in. You need a URL shortener. Should you create a hash of the url on demand when requested? Well maybe not, because you could get collisions, how about pre generating and picking them up at request time? Oh look, someone has written an article on this problem!

So much of system doesign is understanding what your 'actual' problem is, and then thinking it through, looking for what others have done, and then bringing it together with your team knowledge.

I think I inadvertently just discovered I missed my calling!

I've won drawings for dozens of random things since I was 5, not because I sought them out, but because a disproportionate number of the times I've thrown my name in a hat just for fun, my name's been picked!

The first thing I ever won was a Frisbee at the California state fair after a pig race, but by the time I finished school, it included a TV, coveted tickets to my school's away game at our rivals, and even my undergrad and grad school tuition!

I've always figured, in a random universe, there are bound to be outliers who win things a disproportionate amount of the time, and I just happened to be one of them, but now I'm curious what would happen if I put that luck to the test!
IHMO junior develpers are not a problem. A customer of mine hired a developer at his first job after university. He graduated in Mathematics with some college level expertise of Java. We gave him an Ubuntu VM with Elixir and our Phoenix project and he learned to work and to use the language (the former is more difficult than the latter.) I think that learning Elixir was as difficult for him as it would have been learning any other language, including Java in a real world environment.

The problem could be with senior developers: if we had no experience with Elixir we probably would have resisted starting a new project (the main project of the company) with a new language. But this is the same with any language. Would I be confident to build a company on Python or Ruby or JS if I didn't know them well? Not at all. Would I start with Java? Not after all the years I have not used it.
Ok, that's fair, but what I'm saying is no reasonable person would consider Fauci to be an independent observer of any of this. That's just not his role.

Games have used a form of content protection since the 80s. It's not a new thing. We traded code wheels to CD keys to online activation. Most games actually DON'T require an active internet connection, they require an online activation at install and then they can be played offline. With digital downloads it's basically moot and games can still be pirated anyways. Some big titles like the Witcher 3 are actually entirely DRM free.

Steam is a marketplace that gives developers and investors a place to securely sell software and is easy for consumers to use and have fair prices. And it doesn't require users to give up all control of their PC to the manufacturer. Nor do all purchases have to flow through Valve.

And Steam as a game store predates the App Store by a few years too.
I suspect it is a distinction in the common names of things. Eg to me “logic, Boolean algebra” feels like something that ought to fit into a lecture or two (assuming here that logic doesn’t mean formal logic full of things like tautologies and modus ponens and some ZF set theory). So I have to assume that there’s more to it.

Another example is that in my education I think of analysis as being the “pure” thing with a first course consisting of 0. epsilon-delta; 1. sequences, series, limits; 2. Continuity, limits; 3. differentiation, Riemann integration. And calculus is the application of integration and differentiation and probably involves physics and integration by parts and things like Stokes’ law or Green’s theorem and maybe differential equations (unless they go in a separate course). But I understand that at other universities these might all be called calculus.

> I'd get a lot of other students coming to me for coding help. Most just wanted me to do their job for them and I was too naive to say no. One wanted to count cells in a microfluidic device using image processing. I sat down with them for a couple of hours and walked them through a few methods they could look into to get started collecting all the examples in a script. Basic stuff so they wouldn't feel overwhelmed. A few months later I see he published my simple introduction as a paper with zero modifications. He had the good grace to at least thank me in the acknowledgments.

That can't be the whole story, surely? You verbally suggested a couple of possibilities for what might work and wrote down a couple of lines of code, and then I imagine the student tried out all of those possibilities and reported what did and didn't work? I mean, what academic journal would want to publish half-working examples with unstudied properties?

Mind you, I agree about your broader point that (especially in academia) a lot of people don't really understand and respect code authorship.

Being one of the worlds biggest companies that wants to eat everything and everyone (considering the verticals they are expanding into) surely would give them some reason to push their employees more than others. Some logistic companies are fine with their current size and quality, while others try to grow and satisfy their shareholders, that must have some impact on how the companies also treat their employees.

Not sure, but I don't think we need to see people who have this view and perform those actions as hypocrites or whatever.

I don't like the capitalistic system we have today, but I do participate in it and exploit what I can in order to help me and others close around me. I could spend time trying to go against it, but ultimately that would make things worse for me and my closest, at least in the short-term.
Ask HN: How do you manage bibtex?
Hi all,
I have been in academia for some time and I find citing tedious. Latex and bibtex are great, but the bibtex files for papers on the web are often incomplete or change over time (e.g., a paper first in Arxiv is published in a conference). Is there anything that I can use to pull the official reference from somewhere? If not, why isn't there a centralized place for bibtex?
So far I have been using Mendeley and fixing references by hand. It seems that referencing in latex is stuck in the past for something that should be relatively simple to fix (ie., have a repository with bibtex and people submit pull requests with changes). Having a DOI helps, but it does not guarantee that the bibtex is correct either.
Thanks!

When I was at university (mathematics; not so long ago) there was basically no ethics course in the curriculum[1] at all. Common career paths were:

- academia

- intelligence agencies

- teaching

- various “data science” or “AI” type things (could include eg pricing insurance or selling/targeting ads amongst other things)

- computer programming

- finance (investment banks, quant shops, etc)

[1] A few lecturers started trying to do a few lectures in ethics topics while I was a student but I think they weren’t really a proper part of the curriculum

Leaving a key inserted is still a vast improvement over the current situation. Yubikeys have to be pressed to generate a new code each time (as they expire after each use) and the situation you avoid is remote hacking especially via social engineering.

> Someone sells you BPF observability that's buggy and dissapointing, and you avoid BPF in the future. So in that case it's hurt the BPF community.

Ok, so someone sells me closed source tooling that uses BPF and it’s buggy and disappointing, so I avoid BPF in the future. This association problem exists regardless of closed source vs a fork vs an old release.

> Funding goes to a project that gives nothing back, instead of funding a project that does. Again, it hurts the community as funding isn't infinite.

This only hurts if it’s a closed/hidden fork. This also presumes that the fork isn’t just stripping out tons of upstream features (I’ve had to do this for clients because “security”).

My view is that forks of open source (GPL in particular) should be encouraged and done in public. Iterating on central projects only is just so slow and stifling.

Maybe your projects have very little churn so lots of people experimenting in parallel doesn’t make sense, but this has been my experience with larger infrastructure projects. Let a thousand flowers bloom.
It isn’t very clear. The author says you have to create flexible products (using configuration) but down the line, be more opinionated (using convention). He lost me.
The backup thing is really weird, I think only very small non-startup companies care about them a lot because they just cannot afford not having them. In all other places when I bring up the topic everybody seems to be lightly surprised and the sense of urgency just isn't there.

Personally I find this just puzzling, in my home folder I loose files at least once a year and I also lost whole partitions. So having no backup at all is no option for me at home. I cannot understand how no or unmaintained backups can be an option at companies.

This is a perfect description of the Fisher–Yates shuffle – the standard you should reach for when shuffling, and what the latter article suggested, too.

Of course, as a technical implementation detail, instead of having two actual arrays, you can use one array and swap within it to get the effect of two arrays, except in one for performance.
