Automated malware detection typically looks for behavior during installation rather than just the payload. (You can use the payload as a hint, though.) If an installer downloads a PNG and injects the last half of it into another process, and that drops an unsigned EXE into 'all users\startup' that can capture your screen, etc. you can probably block that without pissing too many people off. If you block SCREENCAP.EXE it's a different story.
They also let you pick which batch yours would come from.

With NVMe drives, load times for personal use applications are largely CPU-bound. For example, benchmarking game load times comparing a SATA SSD to an NVMe drive over four times as fast resulted in a less than ten percent shorter load time. Going to a tier above that just doesn't make sense for 98 percent of home users.
Of course I read it!

Interesting opinions but nothing very substantial, more character assassination than 'substantive discourse'. Do you have any ideas of your own on this other than other people's posted light weight rebuttals? you seem to be unsure about contexts and timeframes...

Identifying the fundamental pitches of notes in a chord is a far cry from subtracting them out of a recording.
When you press the button, the window rolls down slightly before the door latch is opened. This prevents you from putting stress on the window when you push the door to open it.

When you use the handle, the door latch opens and the window rolls down slightly and there’s a larger period of time where you can push the door and put stress on the window. So the danger with using the handle is that you _might_ damage the windows if you aggressively open the door, but the button will not.
When I can tell it'll be awkward, I just make up some letters on the spot like "gj5@mydomain.com". It's easy enough to look for To:gj5 in your horded mail to find out what business it was.

After seeing some uncurated examples here, it seems like this thing is mostly a "smooth" Stackoverflow search (as you kind of would expect from a large Transformer); at least things like that out-of-context MergeSort would seem to suggest that to me. Not that that is entirely useless, but I very much hope that this thing will never be used in anything safety-relevant and it falls a bit short of the promise of having a human-like "copilot". I would also wonder how this does in languages like C, where "winging it" is less of a possibility.
Totally agree, I have multiple brokerage accounts and RH is the least feature rich. RH was my first, but I understood its limitations early. It did also allow free trades which was unbelievable at the time. It is the easiest to use and most approachable broker for new people, young people.
The UI is kinda genius, really, for what it is.

Most people will stop at RH, the idea of a complex brokerage account is beyond their comfort zone. They will not see the need to look elsewhere, as it has everything they believe they need in one app.

These things are not about you or I, they are about the acceptability by the masses. And the masses love RH. You cannot dismiss the huge effect they had on the industry with their business model, and they have lots more things planned.

> Corporate tax seems like double taxation, and its existence seemingly means that all companies have a lower margin than they would otherwise, meaning that they need to charge higher prices to be equally profitable. For companies that sell products to consumers, one would presume this would result in higher prices for everyday items.

Isn’t this a good thing? The core reason for incorporation is to have limited liability, leading owners to have a limited potential downside, and unlimited potential upsides.

But the downside is still there, it’s just externalised.

Corporate tax seems to be a fairly reasonable approach to paying for this liability insurance.

> It runs code fetched from a trustworthy origin (your server), so it is not enemy territory.

We should define terms before arguing. Enemy territory is anything you do not directly control. So, as a developer, you do not know if the user's agent is running your code from your server or something compromised. Assume the worst. Anything exiting the user's agent must be cleaned.

> Executing an action against the user's will is a security issue

Non-sequitur. Unless you're saying the `text` parameter could somehow execute code? It can't.

Considering the worst reasonable scenario, that this `text` parameter is sent directly from user input: so what? It may not be great practice, but it's not a security issue. Clean it server-side, which is what should be happening anyway, which the article fails to mention.

Considering the worst unreasonable scenario: the `text` parameter is compromised by a hacker somehow. Well, you're dealing with a far worse situation than could be handled by cleaning input client-side. Better to ensure input is secure... on the server side.

But, maybe I and others here are wrong. Assume many of us do have a worrying misunderstanding of the fundamentals. For the sake of the health of the internet, step us all through this scenario where a secure server side does not save the day, but these methods do.
Samba actually ran into this with io_uring. It can return less that the client asked for for read/write. We were returning this to the client and the clients... didn't cope well (even though the protocol is supposed to allow this :-).

The Samba client code worked fine though :-).

At the time ASUS tended to be my go-to recommendation: fairly good price/quality balance, good repair service, reasonable failure rates.

At the time needs stressing, because this is a long time ago and I haven't kept up since.

One thing I will say is that every brand can have issues. There can be a particular model that's problematic (see the exploding Samsung Galaxy Notes phone of a few years ago for a famous example), or you can just be unlucky with a particular production series that has issues.

"The fund charges 5bp" doesn't make sense to me!

I understand basis points to be absolute difference in some rate, where the rate was expressed as a percentage. So, if the interest rate was raised from 5% to 5.25%, we don't say the increase was 0.25% (because that could be interpreted as understating the change) and we don't say the increase was 20% (0.25% / 5%) because likewise that would overstate the change. We say the increase was 25 basis points to avoid any confusion.
(Agree, that’s why I only waved vaguely, lol. Ted is full on.)
Anything that involves recurring sales and subscriptions.
Louis Rossman has a distinction about this - the difference between right to repair and user-replacable. I can't find the video but the argument is this:

Louis does not want to impede on Apple's ability to make devices smaller or more compact, as that is what the vast majority of customers prefer. Louis, as an independent repairman, has spent 10s of thousands of dollars on the appropriate tools to repair these devices at an incredibly small scale. The problem comes when he needs to buy a replacement part he is physically unable to get the part. Apple, in some cases, will forbid the supplier from selling the part to anyone but Apple.

It's not a question of difficulty. Louis is equipped with every tool and all the time of the world, but Apple is directly impeding his ability to repair customer devices by refusing him access to the parts. That is in large part what his bill aims to change - not to force Apple to go back to 90s style clip on batteries.

The ZeBu emulation team part of Verification Group is hiring a software engineer with a taste for complex challenges: scaling algorithms (we compile largest designs in the world), data-structures, heuristics, multi-threading. A bonus for some digital EE knowledge, but that's not a requirement (at all). Salary is one from a big EDA company (check Glassdoor), growth of the business unit opens up nice possibilities for personal career.

We are looking for a new graduate, or a professional with up to 4 years of experience.

One thing of note: if you want sorted order, there's no reason to be using a hash table.

It would require either worse than O(n) amortized iteration, or worse than O(1) expected insertion (A log n has to go somewhere to satisfy the theoretical lower bound for sorting).

If you want sorted, you're going to use a tree based structure.

I'm also not sure how you'd even naturally get sorted order into a hash table. I'm sure it's possible, but on the face of it it just seems bizarre.
A lot of this is due to legacy software decisions.

To deal with old slow drives, people use expensive compression algorithms which take the CPU longer to decompress than reading the uncompressed data itself.

Also, if we were to directly copy texture data from a fast SSD into video memory, instead of SSD --> RAM --> VRAM, the loading times would see a huge improvement as it bypasses the extra copy.

Let me play devils advocate for a minute. Robinhood had the clear market improvement of making trades cost zero dollars. Prior to their entry into the market $7 trades were considered cheap.

Meanwhile wealthfront is marking up investment opportunities that are widely available in funds or etfs for much cheaper.

I think wealthfront is much more predatory than Robinhood if judged on the basis of services rendered to informed actors.

I do not. It's pretty easy to see the slant most of his essays have, although I do like reading them since he's incredibly articulate and writes in an intelligent yet plain style.

His essays and opinions generally seek to aggrandize what I like to call the "startup industry". Getting young people to take huge risks they can't even start to gauge so that the startup industry (vc) benefits. My personal favorite is when he makes the claim that "working on side projects for money isn't worth it, you should just commit to your employer and try to get a raise". However, I can't agree more with his views on why Cambridge MA is by far the best place to study and think deeply. His essay, in which he visually recants a walk in Cambridge brings back so many memories of my college days in Boston, it's one of my favorite things to read.
