They do a pretty good job, that's why we don't have a pandemic every year. But the fact that we have a pandemic now is clear evidence that it's not doing a good enough job.

Why Can’t I Sleep?
I don't know how prevalent my opinion is amongst developers, but the reason I will never take another job with a support aspect is not because of some detailed assessment of the software lifecycle. It's because I don't like it.

And I can't think of anything more annoying than being on-call for work outside regular work hours.

So I think it's awesome that some people want to do this work. I hope they do it full-time, and that lets me do my thing full-time.

Obviously many developers like the mixed model or accept it. I'm curious about whether I'm an outlier or lots of others feel the same?
I'm finding the serif font, whitespacing & line width, and inline code style quite hard to parse.

The whole thing reads (visually) as a bit of an indiscriminate jumble.

The following changes help (me). I'd also look at colouring some other sections to clarify the visual flow of document,

margin-left: 1em;

#page-content {
margin: 2em auto 2em auto;

I've been aggressively fighting these things for the last year. I tried to filter as much noise as possible, to make it easier to get away from the computer. No feeds, very few emails, very few notifications, and a lot less participation.

Generally, it went well. However, I still wish I had a way to batch notifications. I don't need instant messages to be truly instant. I don't need emails to arrive more than once every hour.
While I agree reinfections are likely to exist in small numbers, the tests we're using are often not great so it's hard to say whether those were covid or something else.

This year I've been heavily sick several times (and the flu almost never caused me all this pain before in my life) and it was never covid.

If one of the test returned a false positive I would have been convinced it was covid. If I actually got covid again I would have believed I was one of the rare reinfections.
let me come back to you with a question: do you have an example where this works?

being hackable means exactly the opposite of stability: you can change low level features and break things. if there is a chance to do it, people can be tricked to do it. of course, i'm excluding here people who have knowledge, as i continue to belive that they are a minority.
I doubt it. Every single time I have to do something more complicated on one of these GUI only devices, I get to appreciate how GNU/Linux ecosystem allows me to actually combine the power of multiple tools to achieve what I want quickly and my way.

Combining simple apps together like lego building blocks to build something, is where it shines.

Code as Infrastructure
> C allows much more flexibility wrt lifetimes than does rust.

Because C does not have lifetimes at all, or ownership as a formal langage concept, and thus does not run head first into the completeness problem.

Which is one of unsafe’s use cases: when the compiler can’t prove the code is correct (because there will always be correct programs the compiler can’t prove, and there are currently a fair bit of them), and you can, and there are no suitable safe alternatives, you use unsafe.

> For example: a common pattern in video games is the frame-local allocation. You (cheaply) allocate some object at the beginning of a frame. Share references to it all over the place. At the end of the frame, you (cheaply) free all the objects that were allocated in this manner. This cannot really be expressed in terms of rust's ownership system.

Of course it can, though it requires APIs which are not there (in the stdlib, yet): a frame local allocator and custom per-object allocator. All frame-local objects use that and thus keep a reference to the allocator.

And it avoids storing frame-local objects in locations which outlive the frame.

> This function is not locally correct; in a vacuum, it is impossible to say whether this function violates invariants.

That is also a use-case for unsafe: an unsafe function is one for which the caller is responsible for checking invariants.

This is unsafe anyway because modifying globals is unsafe to start with.

Excuse me?
So I use Process Explorer, but I've not noticed it having a filter? It has a find, which is something, but I mean actually filtering a list should not be that problematic in this day and age? The reason I'm making the distinction is that find returns a list of handles, and then you can't do anything with those handles directly, you select them which then takes you back to the handle within the greater list of processes. It all feels pretty clunky.
I am willing to admit there may be subtleties that I'm missing =)...

> I guess it depends on who "you" are. A lot of kids get exactly one device. Some have to share it with their siblings as well. So I do think it matters whether our most widely used devices are completely locked down or not.

This is true, but RPi Zeros are so cheap and powerful that I think it's much easier for community organisations (schools, scouts, dedicated groups) to start hacking events. The kid who can't get a 10 USD computer and a phone and access to a shared laptop is the kid who couldn't access to shared desktop in the olden days. In those days entry level could be a month's salary for a professional.

For the households where every kid has their own laptop, a Pi is accessible.

And for those who only have access to single shared machine, the kid today has access to a VM. That means they have options the rest of us didn't have - I couldn't run Linux until I had a paper round, because installing Linux on the family computer was not going to happen.

Perhaps one clear advantage to the old world is that in the 1980s and early 1990s, anyone could write an operating system and eventually get something that could do everything their old computer could do. I mean the idea was tractable. It's not like today where even thinking about creating a web browser filled Microsoft and Opera with such dread they gave up.

To be clear: I don't think it's all rosy today. But I don't think it's all bleak either.

> It also matters for democracy how many people only own devices that governments have complete control over.

You are right that there's social implications here, but I think the social concerns are primary and not a consequence of the technical situation. We arrived at this situation because companies decided they own their customers when we have massive social problems mistrust and distrust. This has come on the back of a generation that learnt abominations like a company's only obligation is to its shareholders. If you want to build trustworthy business, you need to maintain the right culture.
the title says "drug users use a lot of drugs". either it's shamelessly clickbaiting or it's what the author thinks. we move to the ketamine section, again, "two studies on users". one clicks on the chinese one and the word "chronic" is in the title. the study focuses on them only. the english one is on "addiction research" but the study is more complex than this dude's summary. he says that "both find that they [the users] take about 90mg". this is, of course, not what the UK paper says, as one can check in the paper.

and to your point: some places have draconian laws about possession of MA in the same amounts that get prescribed in the US. if i were from thailand i would argue that this person is shamelessly drugging his patients.

there is nothing wrong with telling the truth about occasional recreational use, and yes, "drug addicts use a lot of drugs". that's a necessary condition for "addiction".
Wow, that was a great read! Thanks for sharing!
Here is the remote code policy on your own website:

> Your extension should avoid using remote code except where absolutely necessary. Extensions that use remote code will need extra scrutiny, resulting in longer review times. Extensions that call remote code and do not declare and justify it using the field shown above will be rejected.

[End quote]

This has nothing to do with code obfuscation. Remote code in general is heavily discouraged. Your extension can be outright rejected if your 'justification declaration' is insufficient (Google's discretion). And if that isn't enough to deter you, the review time will also suffer (Google's discretion.)

Does this policy not work? Surely it has led to a reduction in remote code exploits. And also given the enforcement team a straightforward path to take down an app in violation.

To your second point, you _don't_ have a way to address a major exploit vector. You've thrown the baby out with the bathwater. You've banned cars and introduced chariots as the solution to hit and run accidents. Now nobody can be run over! We've fixed Google Roads!

I would also like to know what API did exploiters share with ad-blockers? At the time, we were told the ad-blocker APIs had to be removed for performance reasons. Has the argument changed to a purely security one? Was it both?

The MV3 genie has sadly been let out of the bottle. We can't go back. But we can reduce its capability diff with MV2. It will involve sacrificing some of Google's secret objectives, which is why it's important to know them.

Listening to performance arguments one day, then security arguments the next, in carefully worded statements that don't quite add up; is what gives the impression there are secret objectives.
Does having a separate on-call really shield the devs from support? I assume in most cases on-call would need to escalate or reach out to the devs for issues and for that someone needs to be reachable on phone off hours?
You could be wrong and he could be wrong.

I think the flat memory model predates C significantly. Didn't the earliest LISP (195x) already have a flat, garbage collected memory? In fact, C is one of the few languages which actually exposes the possibility of a segmented memory model to programs.
Some more anecdata:

- Me: no idea, we were careful :(

Persona development in user-centered design (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_(user_experience) ) puts a face on the imaginary group by developing a single persona to represent that group.

Of course, there are many possible users, so there may be many personas. Persona development lets you decide which one or two to prioritize.

Cooper use the term "The Elastic User" to describe what this essay describes as "The Faceless Other", and the associated vagueness.

If you are writing software for software developers then you can likely follow the HP approach - "design for the guy at the next bench".

If you write software for non-software developers, it's harder to know if your personal views are a good guide.
Some day, people will start treating their compute, everywhere as rentable commodity, and the price will go to almost zero. CPU + storage + network costs will go to zero, the "edge" will be everywhere, and organizing hosting and launching websites will never be the same. Maybe we'll even get a better federated services out of all of it (if you get people comfortable with leasing their capital, maybe they get comfortable with running services for themselves with that capital other times).

This isn't it for me (blockchain is an anchor around the neck of the idea IMO), but I look forward to the day that this idea finds it's perfect (or perfectly timed) execution.

It's typically because of the adjuvants added to vaccines, and some other mutations done for stability.

The major covid vaccines have fewer adjuvants (to allow for boosters) and 2 shots because that's just how the trial was run, and it turned out to work, but later testing shows they're pretty effective just with one and some countries have been delaying the second one until everyone gets their first.
There's rumors/fears about SPY dipping from the next CPI report, could be causing options/sentiment to lean downwards in the short term.
Yeah, but why would they —- tons of people just got liquid, and they are essentially realizing relatively large compensations over the next several years. At the same time, there’s an influx of new cheaper hires (WRT equity), and a lot of demand to work there. Why are they going to continue paying their workforce with such a disadvantageous distribution when they can adjust toward the mean? Now they can easily replace both groups of people due to demand to work there.
But the fact that you paid for the heated seats upfront increases the value of the car when you resell it. Likely by more than what you saved by renting?

The thing is, these kinds of organizational problems are almost NEVER about people not being "smart enough".

It's not uncommon to have utterly dysfunctional workplaces where the people are all very high in IQ (1), have premium academic credentials and stellar career trajectories. What matters, far more than raw intelligence, is people not behaving like assholes.

If people aren't reading and sharing beautifully prepared internal documentation, it's more likely to be about their perception of status about the author or lack of openness to new experience. A lot people are just incurious or are obsessed with their status. They tend to "punch downwards" and don't handle change well (or at all). This has little to do with IQ.

(1) We don't really know IQ do we? Unless it's measured we can only guess. When someone says that somebody has a high IQ, usually, it just means they perceive the person to be erudite or learned, acheivements, clothes, speech, vocabulary, appearance, credentials, titles-- all these things feed into that perception, but usually NEVER the score of a f-ing standard IQ test.
Most of Reddit is left-of-center though, and prevailing opinions on Reddit can be pushed pretty forcefully. I don't think it's part of a broader problem of "orthodox leftist thought" but of Reddit being a place like no other for cultivating orthodoxy.

Maybe they found subreddits that were less left-leaning to either be even worse or too inactive.
The more devs you have on a project, the more testing becomes vital. If there are tests, you can work on the code with confidence that you aren't going to unwittingly break things.

Frankly, I think thorough testing makes my code better too. If you can't figure out how to test a function you just wrote, how are you going to get any real reuse out of it later? I don't do TDD, but often testing will lead me to refactor things to be clearer.
Right, which is the current state of affairs. The problem is well known in OS scheduling. If you have jobs that are prioritized over others, and there is more work than workers as is the case with the police, you'll have lower-prioritized jobs that are NEVER executed.

I don't know how OSes solve these problems.

To most people stuff is irrelevant until they actually get the time to work on it, have to collaborate and have access to it. In most cases 3/3 aren't present, and is why pair programming was discovered.

I feel like A Pattern Language is overrated standing on it's own. Too much people are extrapolating based on this book only instead of diving deeper into Christopher Alexander's other works. The patterns becomes a small thing in the mindset of working from a whole, piece by piece, and iterating with real world feedback instead of planning everything to the minute detail.

I like the idea of a big spend on electric vehicles. The government essentially buys your petro clunker and gives you a $20k tax credit toward an electric vehicle. Maybe shoot for 5 million vehicles a year for only $100 billion per year. Some of the money could come from a gas/CO2 tax.

Electric roadways aren’t mutually exclusive to a credit either. I think putting solar roofs over roadways might be interesting for energy use and keeping the roadway safer. On sensitive areas you might keep the roads from getting snow and ice buildup in the winter.

I have never heard of the US police doing much more than taking a report for someone who was robbed of $50 either. In fact people get mugged/robbed of items that are much higher in value (phones, bicycles, etc) without investigation.

I understand your attitude, and sort of agree with it. If I take a job with on call duty, it also means I will be woken up at night because of "your" mistakes (in code, testing etc.) and that is fine.

But a very important aspect for me is that, if that happens, the developers give the correct priority to fixing the bug that woke me up at night.

So, it's fine you only want to work during the day. But if I get woken up at night or in the weekend, you better start fixing the bug that caused it as soon as it's day again.
