> Such workers shouldn't be calling BS on their leaders on return to offices, they should keep their heads down and do as they told.

So people shouldn't have any say just because they have lesser in-demand skills?

Note that I didn't say these people were useless, they fulfill some role, just one that could easily be done by many others.

They might be extremely loyal, productive people who just want to continue working from home for whatever reason but because their skills are less in-demand, they should shut up and do as they're told?

Wow dude.

> Isn't their rep part of a council of reps making decisions for the wider area?

The particular seat at issue is not (its a rep to a non-decision-making advisory body, the decision-making bodies it advises are D.C. and Federal bodies), though since D.C. is apparently ending disenfranchisement of the currently-incarcerated entirely, that will be the case in other elections.

It doesn't need to be almost perfect. Waymo, for instance has remote human assistance when it gets stuck, and even a human in a normal car drive to the scene and to get it unstuck if it's really bad. There could well be a point where those humans plus the tech are cheaper than a traditional full-time-per-customer human taxi driver.

You might say people don't want those delays but we tolerate delays in normal commuting. An unattended bag on a tube station stopping trains, a car accident blocking traffic, traffic jams blocking traffic, mechanical breakdowns, etc. As long as they're infrequent enough, it should be OK for riders.
Wow, that's wonderful! The Lévy dragon, like the Koch snowflake, shows one of the weaknesses of the system; I was thinking of adding G to go forward without leaving a trace and /3 to divide the turn angle by 3 (for any value of 3, including negative values).

Except you can't choose whether you accept or not - the transactions sending BTC into your wallet are not at your discretion, you can't 'reject' them.
Monero is banned by nearly every US exchange, and hard to buy with USD as a US National. It still maintains value and has seen growth.

While BTC may burst, it wouldn't go to $1/BTC. it would go to a small percentage of what it is now, but still retain some value.

Sure!

Realistically, I find it not credible to believe that nobody in big infrastructure companies with IT departments is aware that they have vulnerable systems. I find it far more likely that people are aware and people in positions of leadership making decisions about risk have decided that these risks are acceptable.

Do you think getting an email from the NSA telling IT what they already know is going to change those calculations? My experience with bug bounty programs is that leaders who make risk decisions are more likely to shrug and say "I know, we're OK with that risk".

I realize that this is a personal judgment, and other people may have had wildly different experiences.
public ownership of tech companies is the last thing we need. I'm with you on paying their taxes, but partial public ownership is a bridge too far
This is a trick more than one automaker does in the interests of creating a "green" (or "eco") trim, and usually they do it by speccing tires that are all-in on prioritizing fuel efficiency, sometimes with a higher recommended tire pressure too. The tradeoff is that they sacrifice some traction, and either have to go with smaller wheels (big wheels = luxury = $$$, for some reason--Toyota does this with the Camry Hybrid, putting 16" steelies on the cheap LE trim but 18" or 19" alloys on the others) to keep the same ride quality, or just accept a stiffer ride.

It's worth noting, though, that as fuel efficiency goes up each increment in mpg is less valuable, so 6-7 mpg on a car that already gets 50 mpg is not as useful as 6-7 mpg on a car that gets 20 mpg. This is because the thing you're trying to minimize (fuel burned) is in the denominator of the measure. Countries that measure fuel economy in L/100km don't have this problem. Engineering Explained does a good job of showing how the math works out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLQmwOX6Xds
So let's look at the chain of events: companies start to become monopolies, make billions of dollars that way. They become "too big too fail", important "infrastructure" for the US. Then, start to expose their user's data on public networks, and don't follow proper security procedures. Now, the public has to pay for the government to secure the magacorp networks! It's a non-stop scam, where they fail their (already small) responsibilities and use public funds to increase their monopolies!

Elixir in Action is in a class by itself. I'd also recommend Phoenix in Action as a nice quick start and the many, many Elixir books from Pragmatic Bookshelf. I've read almost all of them and all of them are well-written and well-edited.

Also, the official docs and guides are fantastic once you have your bearings.
The question was if you accessed the data which you are authorized to access (like police database for a policeman) but then used it for the purposes which are not part of your duties (like a corrupt policeman selling these data to criminals) can you be charged under CFAA. The SCOTUS said no, if you are authorized, then you are authorized, and the fact that you used the data later for an unauthorized purpose does not make the access itself a crime under CFAA (still could be a crime under a different law, of course). Thus, they restricted the reading of CFAA to a much narrower scope than the government wanted to apply.
Au contraire, seems we're mostly there. It's incredible having watched self-driving, and neural networks, go from new concepts and barely functioning to "order here" and public use (tell me the numerous YouTube FSD videos aren't what they are). Insofar as there are still serious edge cases to address, they're being solved.

Time and again I've watched "ain't happening" technology become the preferred norm practically overnight. Eagerly awaiting my FSD CT, and making long trips without having to micro-manage every foot across thousands of miles.
It's a different scenario. Charging vs fueling has different constraints, and a facility designed for one is not necessarily designed for the other.

Probably more effective for some restaurant franchise to add EV charging as part of their branded setup. E.g. Every IHOP in the country has EV charging.

But you can't duplicate the ownership document that is the NFT, at least not anymore than I can duplicate the ownership documentation of a physical piece. The situation is even legally the same - it would be fraud if I pretended it's the original, but legal otherwise.

The difference is in the copyability of the work itself.
The main downside is the G forces.

Ten minutes at multiple G and an hour in free-fall sounds... fun, kinda? But it also sounds like the kind of thing most people wouldn't tolerate very well.

> They offer to patch your systems for you.

That is certainly not how it works. See the links others posted for context. NSA is more likely to inform you of the vulnerabilities and associated mitigations.
To what tune?
I believe this would still be covered by the first clause, the one not even being argued in this decision.

> Subsection (a)(2) specifies two distinct ways of obtaining information unlawfully—first, when an individual “accesses a computer without authorization,” §1030(a)(2), and second, when an individual “exceeds authorized access” by accessing a computer “with authorization” and then obtaining information he is “not entitled so to obtain,” §§1030(a)(2), (e)(6).

I fraudulently obtain and use credentials to a system which authorize another person to access it. I am still "accessing a computer without authorization", because those credentials never authorized me.

This starts to get really fuzzy if I fraudulently have credentials explicitly granted to me...
I'm a consultant, and it happens that hardly any of my clients use Jira. So this is the result of scratching my itch (and the itch of people who already give me money) first, and dressing up the result for others to use.

Lots of people have expressed interest in Jira integration, and that's definitely on my list to accomplish one way or another. The Atlassian marketplace is like most app stores, though -- if people already know your name, it's easy for them to find and install your app. But if you're a relative nobody, there are 50 other estimation apps, and very little room to pitch what makes you unique.
Let's say you're the Chairman of the Board of Directors at Big Pipeline Co. One day your phone rings. It's the NSA.

They say your systems are vulnerable as hell, and they told the CEO about it, but he did nothing. He didn't allow the NSA to come in and fix anything; he also didn't take any action on his own to have people internal to the corporation fix it.

What's your obvious response? Fire the CEO and install a new one who will direct the appropriate resources to fixing the problem.
> It gets executed in a special Groovy sandbox to increase the security posture

Not a jenkins user but I am really curious about what the perceived security issue is here? Why are there all these layers of protection placed on what is presumably internal infrastructure? I can't think of similar protections being applied to other CI systems where you can run arbitrary bash commands and containers (aka: do anything you like). It seems to be one of the most common pain points, but I can't quite understand why it's there in the first place.
> These cyber attacks are all but literally one bored kid and a computer.

Are you sure about that? A lot of this stuff is way more than just some bored kid. For the company I work for, there is almost certainly a group of well paid people who sit around every day trying to figure out new ways run scams using our site.

When there is financial motivation, people go through great efforts to get that $$$.

"Security" isn't some catch-all box you can check. It's a non stop game of whack-a-mole where your adversary spends each day getting around whatever you put into place.
Did a road trip in Europe in December 2020 and it turned out that McDonalds very reliably had EV charging. What you're saying is not as crazy as it sounds!
Do you have source for the statistics? I remember reading somewhere that it was just a number one of the AI projects said, with no verification, also with no knowledge of the setup.
That was the point of the person you replied to. You’re in agreement.
Should our society collectively pay for walls, doors and locks for every company in the country? How about paying for private security on every site? How about paying for personal bodyguards for every CEO? How about we all chip in to buy a password manager subscription for every private employee in the country?

We should regulate and punish, not subsidize. The same way we have dealth with corporate recklessness for decades.
Looks interesting, will check it out! Thanks for the dialogue. :)
I mean it makes sense. If you've never seen traffic lights be delivered to a new intersection you'd probably blithely assume you'll never encounter a stack of them that are unlit and moving.

Pardon my ignorance, but can this spec thing automatically deduce that 8^n evaluates to "a number which is a power of 2" or log(2, "a number which is a power of 2") is an integer?

If yes, then I agree this is super helpful (and magical).

If not, how is this different from a normal constrcutor (with runtime input validation)?
I think you're vastly underestimating the amount of effort involved in getting something done by someone locally to someone remote.

Time zone is the first hurdle. Although, in my opinion, this can still be overcome in a relative short period of time.

The second hurdle is familiarity with work culture and style. For a person who's worked already in your office, knows the system, knows all the procedures, knows the nooks an crannies of how all the softwares behave, who to call in case of issues, how to resolve them. All these aspects add to a significant amount of non-quantifiable knowledge which lots of organizations don't consider while outsourcing initially.

The third is process. Most organizations have their processes worked out over time. And this is rarely, if ever, documented. Even for people coming to office, there's a certain amount of time till they get familiar with this.

However, the biggest challenge is communication. This means everything - grammar, vocabulary, diction, accent, familiarity with jargon, parts of speech, colloquialisms, everything. To make a requirement understood itself is a challenge. Asking questions about that requirement when faced with a roadblock, is again a bottleneck.

As an Indian, who's worked in most of the English speaking countries, and now working from India, I can just humbly say this - never outsource to cut costs. This will bite you hard in the short run. Only if you have processes set, softwares used correctly, procedures documented, should you look into outsourcing. And that too it should be for reasons other than purely financial. As an example, having remote workers across time zones helps in maintaining support for your global customers better. Similarly, time zone differences can be used to your advantage. Finally, interacting with different cultures can only improve your organization's awareness, maturity, communication and global reach.

Did he exceed authorized access? He did, and therefore he broke the plain reading of the law. The law should be better, and separate violating access controls from violation of access policy, but it doesn't.

I don't understand your point. The corollary to "there is no perfect society, suffering always exist" is not "therefore all societies are equally bad". No, liberalism is an improvement on feudalism. Capitalist “liberal democracies” are an improvement on capitalist absolute monarchies.

All I'm saying is we can do much better than this.

Noise pollution in oceans is a serious concern, yes.

But not transferring from the air to the ocean, the phase transition attenuates sound a great deal.

It's things like propeller noise and sonar which are causing problems. A sonic boom over the ocean is not going to ruin any whale's day, short of perhaps alarming them when they come up for air.
It of course facilitated, but if it didn't exist, online credit card payments would had facilitated the same way so crypto is not at fault. You can be against crypto and still acknowledge that the advocates of a tech/tool are not responsible nor turning a blind eye to the bad uses of it.
Jenkins to me is great for prototyping certain process activities in a very arbitrary set of conventions, but it provides a lesson as to why the Java world moved on from tools like Apache Ant (XML-based Make) to Maven (convention over configuration as a tooling value). While 10 years ago such processes were not really standardized nowadays people are used to conventions like GitOps with well documented processes for how artifacts are built, deployed, and operated with container primitives after we've spent a _lot_ of time now trying to manage Jenkins installations that become incredibly brittle over time and become more of a liability than a force multiplier for the organization. So people are adopting more specialized tooling instead of trying to have Jenkins do everything under the sun from building artifacts to deploying them to deploying infrastructure with CD conventions.

Things I've found better than Jenkins once an organization lets go of over-engineered processes:

- TeamCity
- Concourse CI
- Circle CI
- ArgoCD
- Tekton

For Windows build agents I've met plenty of people successful with Octopus Deploy that have hated Jenkins and your data point is the first I've seen that went back to Jenkins.

Perhaps it's worth looking at Team Foundation Server / Azure DevOps?
> an email from the NSA telling IT what they already know

No, that's not what the email from NSA would say. It would not say "there is a risk of your systems being compromised by cyberattack" in general terms, which is what IT already knows. It would say "your systems are vulnerable to these specific attacks", which IT does not know. So yes, getting this new information should change the risk-benefit calculation dramatically.
> I honestly don’t get why anyone would subjugate them self to this kind of traffic as part of their daily commute.

You may have trouble understanding it, but empirically a huge number of people see this extremely regularly, if not daily.

It's not even necessarily a feature of horrifically long commutes. For one example, lots of places that have basically ok traffic have bottlenecks at bridges, you may be stop and go for a little while every day getting across that.

In my experience with Julia it's no easier or harder than any other code. Macros tend to be pretty transparent, and it's easy to see what code they generate, although I've never had to do so. Most of the time, a library with a macro-based DSL (e.g. JuMP) has a function-based DSL underlying it that's just more verbose.
At the end of the day, when we're working with external data, no language is a silver bullet. But you can get pretty far by doing https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2019/11/05/parse-don-t-va... and yelling at your colleagues when they don't.

FWIW, this sort of thing can be done with a dynamic language, too. It's true that some static languages happen to be really far ahead of the curve with this sort of thing. But it's also true that some dynamic languages put you in a better position on this front than many of the most popular static languages do.

(And for those of us who really do love an intractable quagmire, there's always JavaScript.)

For my part, I tend to find this debate to be mostly a distraction, because the influence of the language's type discipline is quite small relative to the influence of the programmer's coding discipline. In the group I'm working with currently, the most committed fans of static typing tend to also be the ones who have the greatest tendency to assume, "If it compiles, it works," and proceed to check in glaring bugs. I don't bring that up in order to point fingers at static typing proponents (I tend to prefer static myself, though my preference is not particularly strong) so much as to point out that we should be wary of memes that subtly encourage us to become complacent.
I think this would work with every language that has nominal and not structural typing. If you have structural typing, you have to wrap the int. For example, this is "branding" in Typescript. I'm not sure if there is a performance penalty and how big it is though.

IMO, if you try to make industry .1% more efficient, they will lobby the hell out of everyone to make sure that doesn't happen, because it affects their profit, and they threaten to withhold their campaign contributions. So instead, politicians do unimportant things like limit plastic straws.

It's interesting than in super capitalist US the most popular sports (NHL, NBA, NFL) are "socialistic", where the worst teams stay in the league and get the first pick in players so leagues remain competitive and any team can win one season, while in "socialist" Europe well, if you do poorly you get relegated and often the club disappears in bankrupcy.
> They do produce some really nice tools and APIs. I can’t knock what they provide developers.

I wish that were true. But Xcode today feels like a bloated, buggy mess. It crashes regularly, and sometimes it lags so badly writing swift code that it drops keystrokes. It feels like permanently beta software, where the team never has time to fix the bugs in the last version before they’re rushing the next version out the door.

Working in javascript and rust sets the bar for tooling and documentation much higher than Apple seems currently able to reach.
