BPF, you say? https://lwn.net/Articles/847951/

> The obvious place where BPF can add value is making decisions based on the outcome of previous operations in the ring. Currently, these decisions must be made in user space, which involves potential delays as the relevant process is scheduled and run. Instead, when an operation completes, a BPF program might be able to decide what to do next without ever leaving the kernel. "What to do next" could include submitting more I/O operations, moving on to the next in a series of files to process, or aborting a series of commands if something unexpected happens.
You can amend some legal requirements, but certainly not all. There are many, many restrictions on the types of contracts that are legally enforceable.

> but I made a mistake" (or it has an error) would be very hard to prove

I don't think it would be that hard to prove that the implementation of a smart contract doesn't match the clear intent. The bigger issue isn't the disputability of the contract, but the difficulty of identifing who you would take to court.
Those (in this case, the general) who implicitly consent to doing wrong, should not preach others. If this said general had resigned to protest the USA's support for Saudi, yes, one can listen to his 'sayings'.
Yes, check the documentation for the IOSQE_IO_LINK flag to see exactly how this works.
Wow, how fast does this site load!
My point here is that groups in the US often say either teachers are underpaid and cops are overpaid or the other way around but a simple Google search shows they make about the same. I've never found someone making this claim that could tell me how much either made, just that it was either too much or too little.

If you feel teachers are undervalued, fine but teachers being underpaid and cops overpaid simply isn't logically consistent.
USB2 can do 10MSPS easy, but in my experience small SBCs like the Raspberry Pi struggle to keep up with this rate at the CPU. Might be more practical with the newer models, but I gave up on an RPi 3 with a 10MSPS SDR because it was excessively dropping samples at around the 5MSPS point... so it's possible that 4MSPS is approaching the limit of the CPU, at least for a given level of optimization of the software tools (I was mostly just sending out I/Q samples over the network).
That is one group. There is another that, while they may be informed of the ill their particular group supports, believes the group across the partisan chasm to be literal evil incarnate.

A far better bill would be to ensure that all streets had publicly owned cable trunks owned by the municipality and any company can pay to run their cable in the trunk.

Every time a street or path is dug up, put in a public wayleave with a fixed rental price to run your cable. It means that company after company don't need to keep digging the public road up. We don't have private roads in towns, shouldn't have private cable troughs either.
How can this happen and how to prevent it?
Familiarity can lead to feeling safer, even if nothing else changes. I’m comfortable on a bicycle, but in a new place I’m more on-guard until the route feels known.
I wasn't making a broad claim about the natural world, you were. To contradict your broad claim, I merely pointed out a couple of counter-examples that suggest something other than the heirarchy-based view you described.

If you want to contradict me, given that I'm acknowledging the presence of strong-takes-weak, but noting that it's not the whole picture, you'd need to show that actually, it is the whole picture.

You can't do that (because it's not true).
All of the points in there were spot on, and the interview ones even more so.

Notion is alright for collaboration, but I don't really like it for anything else.

> still produces nuclear waste,

Yes but you only have to worry about radioactive reactor parts and other structural materials, not spent fuel.

> still capable of producing nuclear weapons material,

I don't get this argument at all. A fusion reactor does not generate heavy elements such as uranium or plutonium. However, the fusion reaction can be a neutron source which could be used to convert heavy elements such as thorium or uranium into fissile material. But by no means would this be part of any power generation station. This leads us to...

> We'd be better off just coming up with good fast breeder reactor designs

So this neutron source is somehow more clean and secure than the other one you just dismissed?
No, much different, in a Ponzi scheme you're fraudulently claiming that the high returns you're delivering your old investors are real, and result from your investing acumen, when in fact they aren't real, they're just money from new investors that was never invested in the first place.

This is more like if you bought a lot of dollar bills that were 75% backed by gold and %25 backed by Dogecoin. They are comparable in that both keep working as long as no one tries to cash out, and money keeps coming in.
I'm eager to see if it is more stable than SoapySDR, OsmoSDP, CubicSDR. I find that all three tend to be fickle cross OS.

I use a HackRF One, and I can scan up to 5GHz, but it is painful: the bandwidth depends a lot on the hardware. You need ~$20k in radio hardware to effectively scan a usable part of that domain, and by that point it is better to just invest in a RTSA.
Stoop [1] - but their customer service has been terrible for me.

In 2021, you don’t even have to search for engineering jobs. You either start out with a shortlist of companies and roles or a recruiter reaches out to you and kicks off the process.

Maybe this would be useful for folks just starting their career, but on the hiring side of this, in the last year I haven’t made an offer to a candidate who didn’t already have at least one other offer on the table.

Overall I think there are a lot of misconceptions about how people are hired from the recruiter side — which is why most of these platforms see the recruiter as the target customer, not engineers. I get that y’all are trying to change that, but without insight into the hiring practices at any given company (e.g. my company gives a lot of latitude for salary negotiations but every hiring manager negotiated differently) it’s going to be hard to pull a signal from the noise.
Have you ever read the local rags from two, three decades back?

Think Buzzfeed with no spellcheck. You had colorful characters, but I wouldn't argue the informational content is all that more hollow today than in that time period.
I definitely need to sharpen up my interview skills, regarding the leetcode aspect at least. But thanks for the encouragement!
There’s been some wonderful recordings that were designed solely/primarily for mono playback (early Motown/rock n roll/blues for example) that IMHO actually kind of benefit somehow from lack of stereo separation. If mixed well, the instruments can blend really well and work as one unit and there’s kind of an energy and punch to the speaker/s working as one... Early stereo records often had rather drastic left/right panning (eg. some Beatles stuff) or had to hedge their bets in case they were played back through eg. mono radios/badly set-up stereos and so on… Something similar is still the case when engineers think about what their track might sound like coming through a crappy mono phone speaker with no bass at 128kbps/what have you… The advice I’ve always heard is that you should make sure that your mix would ‘fold down’, so to speak, to mono anyhow… So you should never rely on the listener being in the sweet spot (if you think about eg. a club where an audience member could be stood directly in front of one speaker, but barely hear another, or some listeners weird home setups with one speaker balanced on a bookcase and the other on a table or something). In most environments you get complicated reflections and build ups/absorptions of various frequencies due to the acoustics anyhow… Although with single-sided deafness you won’t get the effect of directionality from the delay between the sound hitting one ear before the other, I imagine you would still experience the attenuation of certain frequencies as the sound moves around your head, the height dependent effects and so on …I suppose it’s not a million miles away from if you were to close one eye - monoscopic as opposed to stereoscopic? Bass frequencies are mostly experienced more or less monophonically, so you’re not missing out there... I wonder if reverb effects/using impulse responses of different environments and volume adjustments might also help give some of the impression?

Sounds like they were in the same boat. You can rebuild your app from anywhere, might as well do it from somewhere cheaper (yet still vibrant).
I mean, Kubernetes is a superset of Docker, right? https://www.cncf.io/the-childrens-illustrated-guide-to-kuber...
It's also a calculated risk. Every ICO in existence has its' detractors. But with so much free funny money floating around, the calculation is heavily outweighed towards FOMO.
I agree that what you've described is likely the true situation. It just looks funny to see a company claim to be worth $2 billion dollars and namedrop big brands and yet require a 6th cash injection. There is an incongruence there.
It's also not just edge cases in English or any specific language. The concept of a "word" doesn't exist in some languages. Chinese, for example, only has something comparable that is contextual and not syntactic. So how do you define "word count" in a document that mixes Chinese and English? Ignoring the Chinese characters altogether seems incorrect in the spirit of the metric, and trying to count using English syntax rules will still give you something incorrect in the spirit of the metric.
They're hard to type if you're a Windows user. Other OSes have better input systems.
The need to mingle notes and tasks, and then have something smart that would show me the todos in one list later, is what drove me to Orgmode.

All IP networks are oversubscribed, even the ones charging "datacenter transit rates". The difference, in this respect at least, is that good providers monitor utilization and proactively upgrade capacity.

I call bologna.

If you stick to built-in methods and avoid extensions, really the most breaking thing someone is going to do is turn off `allow_url_fopen` off, and you can either work around that or just complain to the user that you need it and `exit(1)`.

> If you’re deploying code that has to run on someone else’s computer without supervision, it shouldn’t be a shell script at all, this is why we have compiled languages.

This is the most frustrating comment in this thread, imho. The _ideal_ is all code being distributed as readable source. Binaries are at best a sad compromise in the name of performance.

Why would you _desire_ the code you run to be an impenitible black box? I'd far rather run a script I can see what I'm actually doing to my machine instead of a binary.

I believe the point the poster was making is that "smart contract" is a misnomer and contracts comprised of code should be more realistically called "dumb contracts" since they lack the intelligence to understand and compensate for context and intent.
For Windows 10, you'll pretty much want to use the built-in Parental Controls[1], which will require setting up a bunch of Microsoft cloud junk.

Definitely yes. They’re just desktop hardware anyway.

A new PlayStation or Xbox is all the more PC most people ever need. We could reduce e-waste by reducing the need for multiple, specialized machines.

In the same way, I think I should be able to run a desktop by plugging in my phone. If a pi can do it, my iPhone definitely can.

Tell that to users of OpenSSL for the past two decades. Have fun when your dependencies use a different version. And yes, 0.9.7e is not compatible with 0.9.7g because semantic versioning be damned.
There is a type of scam where "hackers" offer to get your money back from a previous scammer.

The idea is that someone who fell for a scam is going to fall for another one.
Oh, wow, interesting idea. I'm definitely bookmarking this.
I remember that there was a general SGML editor called Thot (from INRIA) that it was built on. I was interested in generic SGML/XML editors at the time.

Aside from that, I think that Amaya was also used to provide a sample implementation of new/proposed web technologies. It's been a long time though and my memory is fuzzy.
Very very interesting.
Ayahuasca is interesting in this respect. The effects require the co-ingestion of two different plants - one contains DMT which is usually metabolized too quickly to have a psychoactive effect. The other contains a MAOI that deactivates the enzyme which deactivates DMT, allowing it to have effect.

The MAOI plant does have some psychoactive effects alone - and increases the effects of many things, so that's probably how this was discovered, but still pretty amazing that people were able to figure this out through trial and error.
It's amazing to me that all the comments here are about Apple when the much larger Google Play store also has a Google cloud offering that competes with AWS. If Google implemented something similar to this they could score big customers who have an app on both Apple/Google stores.
If you want to start your own ISP, lawyer up.
huh, interesting. As far as I can tell the main advantage this has over IOCP is that you can get one completion for multiple read requests.

Looks like they took a lot of the concepts from Winsock RIO and applied them to file I/O. Which is fascinating because with network traffic you can't predict packet boundaries and thus your I/O rate can be unpredictable. RIO helps you get the notification rate under control, which can help if your packet rate is very high.

With files, I would think you can control the rate at which you request data, as well as the memory you allocate for it.

The other thing it saves just like RIO is the overhead of locking/unlocking buffers by preregistering them. Is that the main reason for this API then ?

I would be very interested to hear from people who have actually run into limits with overlapped file reads and are therefore excited about IoRings
It keeps working, so I can't hardly blame companies for doing it. The people who are falling for it, on the other hand....

As someone who doesn't know much at all about crypto, it seems insane that apparently coins can be closed source? But how? How does the chain know what code to execute?
No, it's an argument against another $68 Billion, 170 mile High Speed Rail[1]. Just because the government could do something efficiently, doesn't mean it will be done efficiently.

There are so many examples of this type of massive program bloat, every state in the union has numerous examples.

So while there are some cases where a municipal fiber network has been built efficiently and well, that is the "unicorn" example, not the norm it seems. Besides, nobody has operated one of these municipal networks long enough to see if the local government has the stomach (or pocketbook) to maintain the network long-term (10-50+ years).

Yes it can be done... but will it? That's the question that should be debated, particularly when the local government already doesn't have a balanced budget or has excess debts. Local governments can't just print money like the Fed... and that $9 Billion Bond Californians voted for doesn't even cover 15% of the cost of the HSR.

I’ve used it in production roughly 5+ years ago. Both graph data modeling and cypher queries are very fun to work with. It’s both dynamic and powerful but still gives you a decent amount of structure and ACID guarantees.

One thing that is much easier to model and query, or rather more natural and simple, is authorization and other granular questions you might have about how users and data is connected.

A thing that I can’t wrap my head around however is temporal data modeling with graphs. Haven’t seen or thought of anything too satisfying yet, that meshes well with how I think about graphs. Whereas in SQL it is more explored and clear to me.

I agree that their marketing is very aggressive, but this tech has quite some merit.
The optimal mode of locomotion in an aquatic environment (at least for medium-to-large animals that find themselves neutrally buoyant) represents a similar evolutionary minima/descent toward a "fish-like" shape and anatomy. There is a "best" way to move in water. Moving is important for survival. Therefore these creatures generally trend towards being more effective movers (absent other, non-locomotive descent vectors).

Unstable coin?
Man, throwback! I loved Ecco back in the day. It was definitely the spiritual successor to the niche hit Lotus Agenda, which was unfortunately so weird that Lotus gave up and created Organizer instead. That was a shame, because Agenda was insanely powerful. I was really glad to see Ecco happen, and sadder still when I eventually had to move off it.
Not interested in discussing merits and validity here but some bugs I have are US-age-of-consent-old. Some could be called features or are just UX changes or bad integration with WMs and KDE.

Well, outside my personal opinion that GTK applications became worse in UX and looks (by nature just by following their abstract HIG or peer pressure to be a "GNOME app"). The most common issue is the terrible filepicker (alien UX, no large thumbnails) that at least now you can use Portals when it's supported. Same could be said about other components like color chooser, modal dialogs, fonts that are barely readable even after KDE patches. Integration issues with Flatpak I only have with GTK applications like fonts and dbus. Some issues with Wayland, SDL, that I can't remember, maybe it was SSD, lack of window controls, abandoning system tray, I don't keep track of things that make my day worse now I just find an alternative until they come back to haunt me.
Thank you for the blog post / demo, very insightful.
I got my job through TripleByte. I consider it my dream job. Honestly, I loved the experience with TripleByte. I got a bunch of interviews to happen at the same time. Having them all together increases our bargaining power. It's hard to get the processes with different companies to coincide if you're just waiting around for recruiters to reach out. I already felt like it gave me the power. I'm sad to hear it's changing, because I would've used it again. I've also referred tons of people out of genuine liking of the service. Not sure if I can recommend it anymore. Still, I'm very thankful for what they did for me. I hope their new style works out.
Honestly I never heard of it, I had a few in mind but that wasn't one. I'll give it a try next time I need a graph db maybe it can scratch my itch so to speak.

My concerns basically range around memory consumption, query language and language ecosystem.

Edit: Oh and I guess around like functional extensibility. The last time I used a graph DB I had to export from the db itself to HDFS and use Spark to do things like PageRank and I'd rather be able to write that natively in their query lang or some like UDF equivalent.
Programs have bugs in. This is something programmers should be aware of!
I accept your caution. But it is fun for me to consider the differences in these:

enum Size { P, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL }

enum Size { Petit, Extra_Small, Small, Medium, Large, Extra_Large, Extra_Extra_Large }

enum Size { 小小小, 小小, 小, 中, 大, 大大, 大大大 }

Which do you prefer: P, Petit, Petite, 小小小, 3小, XXS, 2XS?

English is chalk full of non-English words. And lots of symbols are useful. Sometimes it's worth it to learn the symbol. And often not much harder than learning the English abbreviation.

enum ⏻ { ⭘, ⏽, ⏾ }

Again, "typeable" is ambiguous but obviously an important consideration.

None of this is to argue against your point. Just musing.

Given that Amazon already makes a lot of money on AWS and that they have lots of cash on hand, I am very skeptical that they need more financial incentives to be able to develop new services.
