I'm a NerdSeq user: looking forward to the NerdSeq hardware tracker. The one I'm using is the Eurorack module.

That said, I've been a Renoise owner for years now. It didn't end up clicking for me as far as composing music on it, but that's mostly because I'm not really DAW-minded. I should probably see if I can use it as a live mixer as I think it'd be more efficient than Logic Pro :)
With arbitrary memory writes, and an apparently reliable form of persistence across reboots, there's a pretty good chance there is something to do with it afterwards (RCE, leading to control of wherever this runs)... it sounds like that part just hasn't been figured out yet.
> Millions of people have been vaccinated so we know it's safe

In those millions we are missing the number of people that get seriously harmed, and killed due to getting the vaccine. So we do not know it is 100% safe, we only know that it is mostly safe, which is not good enough to be cheery and happy about it.
It's fascinating how many comments are of the form "stayed too long with an employer before finally leaving".

Take heed.
Soft skills ate essential, more so even than a deep understanding of the material.A basic competence is important but anyone who has ever had a genius level professor that angrily mumbles while scribbling incomprehensibly on the board for an hour and then you leave will understand this.
> You could double teacher pay and it wouldn't make a lick of difference.

I sincerely doubt that. Having a teacher who isn't struggling financially would be a huge improvement.
I don't understand. Has docker completely given up on enterprise? I know they sold their enterprise offering, but how are they planning to make money from developers only? What is it that I am not seeing? Especially when you have tools like Okteto and ReleaseHub, why would Docker Dev Environments be preferred over the aforementioned tooling?
This software reminds me of AudioGL - what could have been groundbreaking audio generation software that was being developed in 2010 or so.

I never found out if the developer had a sudden death or simply abandoned the project, but he completely disappeared one day and the project stayed in buggy pre-alpha for years. It wasn't vaporware - I had used it for a few hours and it was very cool stuff. Sadly I don't have the binaries anymore :(
It's looking very much like it will, but even if that wasn't the case, it's already widely in use and available in OS libc's and easy to copy, and it has been since OpenBSD first introduced it over 20 years ago. I also believe your performance claims are exaggerated.. and strlcpy does exactly what people want and expect in most scenarios.
That ivermectin has no effect on COVID-19 symptoms or outcome
Yes. Just going off the public report by the sheriff’s department. My message stands whether or not folks believe the report is accurate. Hundreds die every day from alcohol abuse, whether or not John was one of them.
If it's not provable and not false in F it's nonsensical in F. Might become sensible with more axioms.

I'd like to ask you a question...

Can you take the expression you linked to and add its negation as the additional axiom to Peano arithmetic? Or would it lead to some contradictions?
If a majority of parents in your town think it should be done differently, what moral explanation do you have for denying them that?

(Again, I don't necessarily agree with devolving as far as possible, but isn't it philosophically hard to argue against?)

My biggest mistake was not investing enough in relationships - especially with peers. To anyone starting out now, this would be my number one point of encouragement: greet each day with love, invest in your relationships from the outset - perhaps moreso than you think is typical.
1. That's an argument from authority.

2. It's called post-traumatic growth, and there's an emerging mass of research on the subject.
We can believe the vaccine works but that the risk is too great to take it because it's so new. And for the record, I think the alternatives are also too risky.
The article is behind a paywall, so I can only comment on the first paragraph. But man, is that a misrepresentation of history. Totally ignoring the EU predecessors, the German reunification...

Sure, the Marshall Plan was probably the best idea the US had after WW2. But drawing a direct line between that an the current EU? Really?

Edit: Thanks to archive, I read the article. No idea where it wants to go. American security against the USSR? Culture? Economy? Finance? Choose one! Never mind that during the Cold War the current EU didn't exist in its current form. Nor did the Euro. And were is the explanation just how American history of running a continent can be applied to Europe?
Its refreshing that there is somewhere left on the internet where someone can point out that a problem might have nuance and not get immediately down voted to oblivion. HN is great.
Too much is not enough so you can never stop.
Embedding the length means you cannot slice strings. To get a substring one has to reallocate.

Of course, null termination also means that slicing is restricted to being a tail.
I know that it used to matter which side you plugged the cable into (right-top is better) but I thought that was fixed in some 11.x update.
Another thing China and Japan rapid growth had in common were foreign currency quotas, ownership limits, central planning and indirect subsidies.

How do you calculate the risk ratio?
The board in sf is mostly former teachers.
Sure, they can't be completely uninterested in teaching, since they're high school teachers - they're not being hired primarily for their research ability. Part of offering better salaries is also being able to be more selective with who you keep.
In my case that is far from the case. The implications of an effective treatment such as ivermectin are huge in that
a) Covid passports go away
b) Deaths and illnesses due to covid get reduced greatly
c) It puts a spotlight on why these treatments have not had government sponsored clinical trials considering the ramifications. Incompetence in our governments in regards to these kinds of situations should not be tolerated. For example in Canada the province of BC allowed a trial to commence in may of this year and yet has not started. almost 2 years after the start of this thing? ivermectin has proven safe over the 40 years its been in use and if we try similar doses (which is the recommended for covid) there is all gain and no loss to test even as small trials. I would have certainly taken it since I had severe effects from covid.
d) We don't have to have a phase 3 vaccine trial be a public trial where normally that is phase 4
Well, those photos of Lake Mead are terrifying. Maybe severe water shortages this summer will wake people up that climate change isn't some liberal fetish.

You, clearly, have never taught in your life.
Well it's usually when someone from outside America says "Americans do it this way" based on their vacations or even single trips to a single point in America, having stayed in an AirBNB or hotel or something.

To actual American citizens you might as well be characterizing France from your experience in Germany just because they're both in the EU.
It would be nice to make a list of things that appeared to work in hospitals and then failed randomized trials.
Maybe, but the kind of fabs we have left in the USA are running older process nodes and I don't really see why they can't crank out lower performance MCUs and integrated parts indefinitely.

There's probably going to be a kind of sweet spot that develops for fab performance, it may very well be the case that most things don't need a 75nm node process, and it will be possible to squeeze a ton of value out between 100-500.

The 10-cent mcu surely doesn't need great RF and thermal performance. In my mind, the largest problem is where the integrators and product manufacturers are and not whether we can churn out silicon in the US.
This "zoomers are so dumb" argument bothers me as much as the PC culture.

It's like generational differences are a new thing, do people really think your teacher back in the day thought progressive educational practices were effective. I mean capital punishment really worked wonders.
This article is very light on substance and has a questionable premise. A European customs union was a German aim of the first world war, not something foisted in them by America. To paraphrase Timothy Snyder, an actual historian, the best way to understand the EU is as a soft landing place for empires that have lost their possessions. He does some very good lectures about this available on YouTube.

It was 2006 and I was working at CollegeHumor, my first job after graduating from college. During my first week I dropped the production database. I thought I would be fired…

I ended up working there for 4 years and eventually managed the backend engineering team. I haven’t dropped a production database since.
This part of their objection was based on an assumption that doesn’t seem to be as bad as they thought. The trials are controlled to varying degrees of quality.
People have no intuition for the incredible bubble we live in, the historical uniqueness of it, and the immense work it takes to keep it alive.

The living memory of the post-WW2 order is fading and most people basically don't understand that we're living in that house, that it's very real, and that it takes maintenance.

Peace isn't the absence of war, it's the balance of power, and the recognition that not all powers are the same.

Without US relationship with Egypt, it would fall and with it the Suez, and they'd be at war with Israel very quickly. 'Real War'. Without US support of House of Saud and 5th fleet, Saudi Arabia and Iran would be probably at war. And that's just one region.

It's complicated and there is no way 'not to play the game' as in a power vacuum it will definitely be total chaos - so we have to figure out how to balance the power in some reasonable way.
FUD like the fact that the vaccines have had no completed studies on their long-term effects? Or being part of a demographic that has a low risk from COVID?

WHO has very low credibility at this point.
I see this happen a lot, where we need to make some kind of practical decision in politics (how much to pay teachers, how to set water rates), and it inevitably descends into an ideology-driven discussion of fairness, the meaning of life, and other similarly non-answerable questions.

We have to reframe this for what it is, a person being paid to do a job.

The overall issue here is that when you let values guide decision-making, there's no "right" answer. There is no "right" answer to how much the US should spend on health insurance. Likewise there is no "right" answer to what to pay teachers.

The only way I see to solve this is to peg it to something set by a market. Markets operate under constraints. Maybe set pay (all-in including vacation, pension, benefits, etc) relative to a local private school that sets wages competitively based on what teachers can get vs what the school can afford to pay from fees. Modulate +/- 10% based on overall funding levels if you want to split hairs.

The alternative is much worse: a big slugging match between taxpayers and well-organized special interests (e.g. teacher unions), and news flash, the special interests usually win, because it matters much more for them than for the average taxpayer, and they're better at playing the long game (e.g. organizing member rolls, getting members to show up to meetings/vote, knowing relevant laws, developing relationships with city management/school board members). This is a big part of why secondary education in the US sucks. In any other business, software development, architecture, law, manufacturing, the management has discretion to manage -- set wages and salaries, hire, fire, supervise, and hand out bonuses. School managers (administrators) are absolutely handcuffed by collective bargaining agreements that restrict how they hire, fire, and promote.

You think I'm being hyperbolic? Tell me one other job, apart from a competitive process at a university, that gives people firing-proof "tenure". That's insane.
You're failing, like most of the crowd here on venture capital forum, is thinking that money is the most and only important factor.
I love making very bad music. I make it all the time, and find it quite joyful :D
But if they're willing to work for cheap, wouldn't they be worse off without the manufacturing? I mean, those people are already struggling and bringing manufacturing doesn't change that.
Sprawl isn't really a positive indicator. Cities exist to support their population and economic activity, not cover land.
What about long-term effects of the vaccines?
It makes some attacks a lot easier. You usually need admin access to install a rootkit so your virus can re-install itself. You also get full control over the network stack, which makes it trivial to MitM traffic. Admin access will let you disable whatever security monitoring tools are installed so you can stay undetected for longer.

Locking down admin access is less about protecting the local machine and more about preventing the laptop from becoming a jumping off point into more important pieces of infrastructure. It's by no means fool proof, but it adds another security feature that has to be countered.

I don't know whether it's worth the trouble it creates, but I don't think it's totally without justification.
I think one use for this kind of thing is if you are doing some sort of logging you may have a fixed size buffer, both to keep overhead down (you don't want to allocate extra memory) and also prevent overly verbose logs from spamming output. In this case, waiting to calculate the length of a 10 MB string just so you can fit it in a 1 KB buffer is unacceptable. For your second point: not necessarily! memcpy would be slightly faster if you are keeping the length around, but if you're dealing with arbitrary strings you wouldn't have that. Calculating the full length beforehand is just a no-go as I mentioned above, and using memchr first to get the length and then memcpy is not going to be faster.
> for some reason, the US never mastered publicly run institutions

This is by design, sadly, because the "wrong people" might benefit from them. But hey we have MLK Day and Juneteenth now so we fixed racism :)))))
This happens because of what's in the training corpus. But that was chosen from a large chunk of the internet. Why is the text of the internet like this?

When someone walks into a school and starts shooting, we don't think it's relevant that they're Christian, Hindu, or atheist. But we do care about their motives. If they're shooting up a school because they're a Christian and think the school is teaching atheism, now it's relevant.

Well, in the parts of the world where most of the English text comes from, the people who are committing atrocities because of their religion or philosophy are most frequently Muslims. The corpus is biased because people commit violence that (in their own logic) flows out of following Islam, and they do so in really disproportionate numbers.
+1. I never thought I would replace Alfred ever, but Raycast did it. Two weeks now and I don't miss a thing.

Raycast seems very performant and scriptable/hackable.
I'm saying that if you pay teachers a salary consistent with an MIT grad that was able to FIRE, that you will attract people solely for the money. If we are compensating teachers at 4-5x the median salary, then I would gladly quit my job and become a teacher even though I have no real interest in it. I believe that the best teachers enjoy their jobs and are not just looking for the money.

Now we could use a performance based pay system that could pay teachers more. Some of those systems fail to capture the right metrics. All of them are opposed by the teachers union. I think a slightly below average salary (factoring in benefits which are not typically seen in industry) with the potential to make more than average based on performance would be a good system.
My biggest mistake was to discount and ignore the importance of management as a skill.

As a good technician, I moved up to being a junior officer in the Navy and completely missed the point that I was to work through the enlisted sailors, not join them.

I found myself staring East all night wondering why I was struggling. Suddenly, it dawned on me.
Right: every profession does stupid stuff I am sure, and developers certainly waste a lot of time throwing away good code to start over again; but I think today we are talking about designers?
Most states in the US require a civics class in high school (normally called us government). Several states require personal financial literacy class. DIY is not one I know anywhere requiring.

But something being required and something being preserved is very different. It's very normal to lose a lot of that knowledge after a couple years so if your goal is they pass a civics test/know basic finance it'll probably continue to fail even with all states requiring it.
The top 1% pay 40% of all income taxes. Or do we include the top 1% with the “little guy” now?

https://taxfoundation.org/publications/latest-federal-income...

And I believe the top 0.1% pay a significant share as well (too lazy to Google it).

I mean, are we lumping in multimillionaires into the “little guys”? If so, that’s an amazing feat considering the median income is $60k/yr in the Us
I am not in favor of states.

And as I said before, the southern border is mostly made up. People crossed it for thousands of years without some crappy wall in the way. They will continue to cross it even with a wall.
There are conflicts over water. But I think we will see more development of desalination tech as water becomes scarce and people will pay more for water
I agree. I'm running the new OS. There were some UI changes that frustrated me. But when I thought about why I was frustrated, the reason was simply because the UI was new and my old habit patterns didn't work. When I took the time to learn the new UI, I liked it more. The event was a learning experience in why people hate change. It takes effort to realize the benefit (if there is one), otherwise without the effort just frustration (unless the change is bad).
Your simulated environment needs to accurately represent everything you're simulating for RL to be useful, otherwise, it will simply find artifacts of flaws of the sim itself or may fail to discover n-th order effects since they won't ever occur. This is exactly where DNNs have excelled and is most desired to be used: in all the places we don't know the foundational theory to. That may be why they're so successful compared to our traditional reductionist approaches: they might catch all the non-reduced aspects we never add into sims as we know them. We don't need DNNs doing QED or Newtonian mechanics (in general), we have nice solutions to these that in many (not all) cases are pretty darn efficient.

In some cases, you could be computationally bound and never achieve a sim representing your desired environment. In many, you lack theory to correctly build a sim. You need RL building the sims that you plan to use RL to explore optimal processes you seek within. We have a few disciplines that are well formulated enough where sims can be useful in but the vast majority are simply going to give you garbage or are just computationally bound. At best, many sims provide guidance that experts need to interpret.

Because knowing something and conveying that knowledge are different things. Do you want a tech lead that knows everything but doesn't work to develop the people under them, or do you want someone who acts as a force multiplier by mentoring others and transferring that knowledge?
What is "frequently"? I'd like to see a minimum of three years ahead of a transition, and a decent story why. Often the contract ends, the company is sold and the new policies are draconian, etc. Fine.

Given the level of effort involved in bringing someone on, my outfit cannot afford to be staffed like a fast food joint.

Keep in mind that the "Health Cards[0] are encoded as Compact Serialization JSON Web Signatures (JWS)". They're cryptographically signed by the state, so it's hard to fake them without having access to the issuer's key.

- Not leaving jobs often (even without clear immediate reasons).

- Not being aggressive about trying to get better salaries. This was mostly due to the previous point.

- Not leaving shitty managers and teams ASAP (“trying” is the biggest mistake in such situations).

But when I look real close then the single biggest mistake is:

- Having not identified early that Software/CS simply doesn’t interest me. It’s just a skill because I happened to study it and then started working. For me there’s just zero passion in it. And not trying to find an alternative career path early.
I've seen a lot of strlcpys, and of that I think I have seen maybe one place where the return value was used. I think if you asked people why they used strlcpy, 95+% would say "security" and then list out the characteristics my strxcpy has, rather than "I want snprintf-like behavior with a size_t return" which is what strlcpy is. I would not be surprised if most people got the time complexity of the function incorrect because of this.

You’re right. Children die seconds after coming into this world, and cancer and disease can kill the most healthy of us.

I would have wished for that end for my father, rather than the squalor, isolation, and suffering that found him for nearly half a decade before he died. Or for my step mother, not being found for weeks after her passing because she drank herself to death on her birthday.

Mother Nature is cruel. We don’t need to load the deck for her.

P.S.:
I’m not sure what happened in your life than led you to want to make snarky remarks in response to someone sharing about the death of a loved one, and hoping people get help for a disease that not only impacts them but those that love them. It seems to me that it must have been really traumatic or difficult to make you want to do that. There are some really wonderful therapists out in this world that I’m sure could help give you the tools to help move past those emotions and act with more empathy.
Format strings can do arbitrarily memory reads/writes so this will probably quickly turn into an RCE bug (it likely already has but we won't hear for another 90 days unless someone very based decides to tell us.)
