Yeah and well you don’t act petty and unprofessional as the CEO of any company. Tech does not get a pass on it. I fully enjoy watching an intern evoke this level of response from a well funded CEO. I was employee #1 for a start up still in business so I know how they can be your ‘baby’ but give me a break on this one... the CEO literally is projecting what he himself did onto this intern.
> $2000 for a 30kWh home battery backup? Who wouldn't get one?

Very few of the people that would currently benefit from a domestic backup battery could afford $2k, and most of the people who do have $2k to spare don’t live in places with unreliable electricity.

The overlap isn’t zero, but… for example, I visited Kenya with an ex of mine, we met a local friend of hers, that friend would’ve benefited from a more reliable electricity bill, but her monthly rent and utility bills combined was equivalent to about $85 and she couldn’t afford to move.
large unstructured blobs and large files are among the things not well suited to foundationdb and couchdb 4 actually reduced supported blob size in the transition to foundationdb. it looks like object/blob storage systems are at the moment rather seperating more from key/value and document storage than growing together. but this is a good thing because the tradeoffs are very different and it allows each system to focus on what it does best. blob stores will hopefully move even more to content addressing and merkle dag similar to git and ipfs.
By the way, this is quite interesting! Most events of 20th century were related to ideology. But before that, in old times maybe only religious wars were close to this. Other wars and conflicts were good old attempts to conquer someone and/or to gain resources and power. But was there as much hatred as produced by ideology? E.g. during the napoleonic wars many people died but does someone hate France because of Napoleon? I guess not. Or take WW1, it was only 107 years ago. Surely a lot of people died. Does someone remember it with hatred? Only as a great tragedy I think.
To be honest though - replit is still going to pay significantly more in legal fees than the individual. That all said they almost certainly bear that cost while the individual may not be able to do so.

Same. I have a job. When a recruiter says well first do a call, then a take home test, then a live code, then fly in to interview...uh...no. You contacted me, if you did your DD then hire me. I don't have the time, energy, or will to play your games.
That kind of behavior is what has ruined most social media. The job post threads are great because they are strictly about job posts. They would be much worse if they also included random color commentary. Everyone using this site knows how to research a company. There is literally no upside and a huge downside to what you're advocating.
> Warren buffet said if he could go back he would just put tons of money in an index and wait.

I've run into this a lot lately with woodworking. I started it as a hobby during the pandemic, and I'm clearly still a beginner (just got my 3rd instagram follower that I don't personally know, woo hoo). But any time I show somebody a piece they tell me I should sell them on Etsy.

I just finished my fourth project, a set of trays, and immediately I was told I should make them to sell. They're walnut, so just in lumber and resin a set of three trays cost $500. Then I probably spent 20 hours cutting, drilling, rabbeting, jointing, sanding, and finishing these things. I value my time at ~$100/hr. So who is going to spend $2500 on a set of trays when you can get something close enough for $150 at Ikea?

Now the argument I use to shut them down is that it's a hobby. "But you could make money with your hobby." But then I have to deliver. When it's a hobby and a project doesn't go well, or you just get tired of working on it, you can put it down and walk away. If I couldn't put it down because I'm beholden to someone, and I need to deliver it, then it isn't a hobby any more; it's a job.
Vladimir Nabokov, The Art of Fiction (1967)
Right, even as a joke the above proposal makes little sense. If a king suspects his eunuch of secretly being a predator, the eunuch can at the very least easily prove that he is in fact a eunuch. With an asexual, no such proof can be demonstrated. You have to take their word for it. Eunuchs were valued because you didn't have to take their word for it.

If you have to take their word for it, then you may as well hire anybody and take their word for it. But also consider this: a creepy incel predator can lie and claim to be asexual, but will find it much harder to convincingly lie about being in a healthy relationship. They probably wouldn't normally do that, but given the right incentives (being trusted with other people's computers) they very well might. I don't and wouldn't distrust asexuals any more than anybody else, but neither would I trust them any more than anybody else. It just doesn't make sense.
I see a lot of parallels to this and airline control towers.

I think most can see that what control towers are doing is highly automatable (It's a queue) yet the industry has sabotaged it at every turn. Because the jobs it will eliminate are the ones that need to verify the system works correctly.

A similar thing happens with train operators. We are busy setting up self driving cars, yet a self driving train is almost a trivial implementation that we don't do because the train conductors would never get on board with such a system.

The warrant does not imply that the coins were on an exchange. The warrant only indicates that they needed legal authority to seize coins, wherever they are.

It seem more likely that the FBI/NSA had and gained some access to the gang's infrastructure and seized the money.

Transmitting ransom money to an exchange without any type of tumbler or atomic swapping, that it's not a realistic scenario.

Maybe they tried to use an ineffective tumbler?
Really? That's interesting to know, thanks! Guess it fooled me.
In a BK, some states may force you to liquidate a house if there’s equity in the home. Other states will let you keep a primary home.
So true. I wish they would to the same for their developers and didn't force us to after just half a year to upgrade to latest MacOS version - otherwise you cannot install latest Xcode update. As we speak I cannot even watch their developer conference online live on my macbook because 2 months ago they made their latest Developer.app update on Macos only available for MacOS Big Sur. This has been very annoying for me and is getting worse each year.
> It turns out that for a common ring buffer, with one producer and one consumer, you only need the read/write position to be read/written atomically, and operations on buffer data must be ordered wrt. operations on the read/write positions.

But again, putting a volatile modifier on the read/write position did not achieve this.

Most of what you thought you wanted "volatile" for here is either just always the behaviour for aligned primitive types anyway (on platforms like x86 with a relatively strong consistency guarantee at a low level) or still unsafe even after you sprinkled volatile around (on ARM platforms with relaxed memory access rules, unless your compiler specifically gives different behaviour for volatile)

> This is a quite extreme viewpoint. I can't agree with it.

It's the conventional viewpoint by now, even the C++ Core Guidelines explicitly tell you not to do this. e.g. CP200

But if you want an extreme viewpoint not yet widely accepted by say the C++ Standards Committee, try this:

Neither volatile nor atomic should exist as type qualifiers. A "volatile 32-bit integer" isn't a thing, and neither is an "atomic 32-bit integer". The operations exist and they're important in low-level programming, but the types are a fiction‡.

Rust's model here is much closer. You can do volatile memory access in Rust, but you can't have "volatile" types, they're not a thing. You must explicitly call an (inlined) function to read whatever primitive data you need out of a memory address or write it to the address. As a result, programmers who need volatile memory access are far more likely to remain clear about what they're doing and why, not just sprinkling "volatile" keywords and hoping it'll do what they meant.

‡ If you want some real C++ horror, why is volatile constexpr a thing? Literally the committee's excuse is maybe this could be useful. They don't have a concrete example of use, but hey, why not throw things we don't need into the standard, it's not as though C++ is a bloated language with far too many edge cases already...
VSCode (or more specifically, the VSCode Go extension) can't handle a mono-repo of golang microservices. My CPU/fans go crazy opening the darn thing. With the extension disabled, VSCode is fine, but it lacks all of the "necessary" features offered in the extension.
As long as DDG uses Bing's results then they also implement Bing's censorship policies. That's a choice DDG makes.

If someone on YouTube is soldering directly to terminals, in any form, they're badly wrong and I wouldn't trust the rest of their judgement.

If I’m not mistaken, paying for links is still very much against Google’s policies. Whatever weight that should carry... in my opinion you should always try to be as independent from Google as possible. It’s such a huge liability.
We are all guessing at how it works, but if I were to try to translate that description I would guess that the first hop is used to anonymize the source address and it relays with an address that provides a region or country (so things like web site language or geo restrictions continue to work) but that the actual destination is encrypted to a key held by the second hop. The second hop passes along the generic IP address as the source, decodes the destination, and makes the connection. Address anonymizer does not know the destination, exit node does not know the source and only sees a regional pool IP address.

> For any finite resource allocation, I see getting a GCC backend to be a priority for quick wins and then focus on gcc-rs as an experimental hedge against future problems.

Doesn't that only work if it's the same people working on all those things? AFAIK, it's different people doing the different projects. You can't just re-assign open-source developers however you want.
I don't think that's quite fair since the US justice system does allow for and has come to include advocacy organizations like the EFF and NAACP, and, even without those organizations usually individuals will end up paying significantly less for the same legal services (since most lawyers do have morals and will try and make their services affordable to less well off clients).

But... other than those allowances... Yea, money is pretty important in the US justice system.
If they carried out the attack they would have had the private key in their possession.
I think this is a really cool idea. I think you are guys are upto something. I think you need more example, probably an online editor or tutorial. May be there is some, I couldn't find it easily.

It still feels very experimental is nature and has feel of a side project. Not sure if you guys are pursuing it seriously. If yes, I would recommend you to create more education material. I think it is very radical idea that has a huge learning curve. Also, I would recommending moving the motivation and manifesto to your landing page if any and focus on getting started, setting up your dev environment and how you could run your first application.

The colours are definitely there to indicate who doesn’t have an iDevice.

They predate iMessage being end-to-end encrypted, and predates Apples current privacy push. Additionally Apple senior leaders have got up on stage and joked about how people with green bubbles are second class friends.

All of that together makes me think the bubble colours are primarily there to gently nudge people into getting their friends and family to buy iPhones. Which is also the reason why iMessage doesn’t have an Android app, as stated in an internal Apple email made public in the Epic games lawsuit.

I think that was always the case — the majority of people don't contribute meaningfully, and was quite demanding. I had an old open source project that got a few users, and eventually too many support requests for me to handle. Somebody stepped up and helped maintain things until I lost interest, but that was a very tiny fraction of the people involved. I was lucky there and (as far as I know) they never went rouge.

Outsourced moderation would probably end up something like Stack Overflow — useful things will be closed because non-subject-experts can't tell the difference between invalid questions and valid questions that look like invalid questions.

Why not simplify the medical bankruptcy discussion?

Fact is Americans have high personal cost and risk exposure relative to nearly all of the rest of the world.

Second, our system has making money as the priority, again in contrast to much of the world.

Finally, most of the world recognizes the inherent conflict of interest between for profit and sick/hurt people and both regulate that conflict to marginalize it, and make it so people have options that make sense.

My take, having been chewed up by our toxic healthcare system twice now (having a family does matter, lol), is the temporary dampening on cost and risk escalation starting the ACA brought to us is fading now, and issues are exceberated by the pandemic (demand for care crashing into variable supply), and shifted somewhat as large numbers of people fall into subsidy medicaid type programs due to job loss.

The honeymoon period is long over now, and the drive to "make the number" is going to be front and center and escalating from here.

TL;DR: We are not improving on this front at all. We need to.

I could go on at length about high student debt and it's impact on these discussions too.

The radiology control over labor, preserving income for it's members is totally real, and fron their point of view, necessary. They ask the legitimate question in the US: How can I afford to practice.

Most of the world does not put their medical people in positions to ask that question, with some exceptions, those being far more rare and easily discussed than most of the topic is here.

I hope it would let you choose whether or not the video feeds are cropped in or not, but I haven't seen anything to support this.

One issue I have with group FaceTime that I noticed during the pandemic is that it crops off the sides of the video to make it square, so when you're video chatting with a bunch of people (like, say, your family all sitting in front of an iPad) you can't see everyone in frame even though the camera is capturing them. With group FaceTime portrait/landscape mode doesn't make any difference to even attempt to address this, like it can for 1-1 FaceTime calls.
Yep that's been my experience too (UK lawyers). A few emails, a quick look at my contract (client was in breach by terminating without notice). The lawyers explained exactly what the legal situation was and told me that I would probably win an amount slightly less than their fee and they recommended I didn't bother - totally free advice.

(Annoyingly the reason I wouldn't have won that much in damages was that I had mitigated my damages by finding another contract within days)

That's probably because of spending time on this echo chamber.

In reality everyone has likely been staying with the same databases they know and love but just moved to the cloud. It's why now AWS for example offers such a wide variety of databases e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis.
The intern? Yeah he’s fine. There’s no real consequence for that person other than proving he’s a capable employee who can be a bit obsessive. They should work in a tangentially related area of product for awhile and forget it ever happened. Technical hires who can implement your idea is much more valuable in bulk than ideas themselves.
The IME itself is a backdoor in the first place. I remember a story a few years past when a full line of CPU's went out with IME having no password set at all, allowing a field day for hackers even when your computer was shut down but still receiving power on standby. Intel had to recall all of them but only after the news blew in media in the first place. Otherwise I'd suspect Intel would've just let it stay, cause money talks.
Which is extremely wise advice honestly. This lawsuit is a bit muddled and less clear cut than folks have been portraying it. Speaking out in a forum like this may salve your pride but it isn't going to result in absolutely anything that's helpful legally - it can cause only harm.
