Yeah, I wonder will we see the Next Big Front-end Thing™ in the following 5 to 10 years. I remember how fundamentally novel and different React felt when it started getting traction.

Now, all its competitors (Vue, Flutter, Svelte, Solid) look very React-like to me. A few minor improvements in some areas but nothing groundbreakingly different.

Elm is different but remained niche and obviously too exotic for mainstream. There's something about the pure-functional approach that doesn't sit well with most people.
Betteridge's Law of headlines says: no!

We can be skeptical of researchers' results without the hostility of assuming that they are guilty of fraud until proven innocent.
It's hit-and-miss per LB/server and I have not seen this become a priority since it's not a super popular feature. Here [1] [2] are a couple articles on the topic. My experience has been with HAproxy and F5 load balancers. HAProxy uses an out-of-band process to lay down a .ocsp file and load it via the API. This in effect acts like a cache assuming the script creating the .ocsp file has error handing to avoid clobbering the file if the upstream OCSP endpoint can not be reached.

F5 load balancers will cache the response in memory. I have not tested Apache with OCSP stapling/caching recently so I can only assume based on feedback from others here that they have not improved it. I would expect nginx to improve now that they are owned by F5, maybe, eventually.

I am a fan of OCSP stapling/caching for the privacy aspect. No need for browsers to leak to the OCSP end-point what domain you are visiting. There are enough nosy people sniffing our traffic already.

I'd be curious if it depends on when you purchased the shield. I just tried this on my older shield reverting/disabling worked, but my newer one does not.
From my experience, most of it is. I just left a high paying position working in the healthcare space as a data scientist, because it became clear this was known and there was no intention to improve the situation. Instead, the focus was on selling and making a quick exit.
I think there are two separate versions of "private research" that people below are responding to. In one, a company has a problem and they pay researchers to work on it. The key metric is solving the problem or making progress on in depending on the time scale- good orgs have different scales (usually from 3 months to 5 years at most) that they are investing in. In this case, there is little room for fraud or deception, but it goes up with time scale because of how you frame early results. (I work doing applied research for companies, and they want and will only pay for something they can use to improve their business. Actually a lot of my time is spent helping make a clear connection between how research findings will move the needle on business objectives). I think it is this kind of research you, the parent, are referring to.

There is also "sponsored" research as others have pointed out, that is more of a bought study that a business hopes they can use for marketing. These have a big conflict.

I agree that government is probably the worst system in most cases. It's the same kind of "picking winners" that doesnt work in corporate funding. I'm from Canada where our tech industry basically runs on subsidies, and very little escapes the bubble of trying to get more government funding and actually becomes self sustaining.

Personally, I have seen there is a legit appetite for corporate funded research that advances the company's goals. As an academic, I would rather seek out companies for funding, knowing that I'm working in something that someone wants, and not trying to optimize for government priorities. I'm coming at this from a hard science perspective. I imagine the dynamics are very different for drug trials or other efficacy type studies, which are maybe more relevant to this discussion.
I will address the elephant in the room on this one.

168 comments so far, I did a research for word "vaccine" in the page, not a single result.
So I assume this has not been discussed despite the current situation we are living right now.

I've just read 2 articles about Moderna in general and Bancel in particular :
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-07-14/moderna-m...
And Vanity Fair, unfortunatly in french
https://www.vanityfair.fr/pouvoir/business/story/stephane-ba...

This is a frightenning read as we people in France are being literraly forced by our gouvernement to be vaccinated (Moderna, Pfizer) or be socially terminated.

I did not know, I'm pretty sure 99,99% of people also don't, that Moderna did not release a single product before 2020 and it "all in" bet in the Covid Vaccine with up to 1 billion funding from operation warp speed. Moderna was sometimes refered as the next Theranos. His leader fits clearly in the sociopath territory of Silicon Valley tranhsumanist billionnaires. "risk very big, win very big" is his mantra, this man wants to vaccinate billions of people annualy (read article please).

More, if you read those two articles, you could change Vaccine by any software product and you would have a typical business article about a Silicon Valley startup. This is frightening to death to think that this technology "software vaccine" is to be used on the whole population with only a few month of study and, worse, with "forced consentment" on populations.

Guess what happens when money conflict with health.
Are these attacks through Blast Door? I thought Apple's been pretty proactive putting engineering into this issue - but if blast door is getting blasted open not a good look.

I saw one article saying 14.6 is getting punched through - ouch!

BlastDoor was apple's efforts to rein in the iMessage holes.
Haha amazingly there’s a chance I interviewed you, or you interviewed with my company when we were first rolling this out, or another company was also using the same question. I remember the idea was to make the analog like one of those analogs that didn’t move continuously but ticked at every sixty second interval. So it never needed to be in between minute ticks.

Lots of us didn’t fully understand the question when we were giving it initially and it caused a lot of problems. I’m guessing you had the minute hand drawn as if it moved continuously since you mention seconds.

Let me apologize for either myself or my company :)
I never heard of this and went in with an open mind.

Well, so much for that idea.

Getting sufficient oxygen is a key limiting factor in metabolism. The more oxygen an animal can get, the bigger an animal can afford to get.

And it's not just insects. For example, the ancestors of dinosaurs evolved a highly efficient respiratory system towards the end of the permian period when oxygen concentrations were low, which likely helped them survive the deadliest mass extinction ever. Afterwards, oxygen levels skyrocketed up, and the dinosaurs, who still had their efficient lungs, could take advantage of it and became the giants we know and love. This same system is also key to the ability of modern birds to fly.

Insects and other arthropods breathe through their skin, so the amount of oxygen they can get is limited by their surface area, whereas the amount of oxygen they need is determined by volume. Thus for any given oxygen concentration, there is some maximum surface area to volume ratio for insects, and in turn a size limit for any given body plan. This is why, for example, the largest species of tarantulas across multiple continents, despite evolving separately, are all the same size - being big has a lot of perks, but if they got any bigger they'd suffocate.
Everyone should consider a manufactured home (mobile home) as an option. I lived in New Jersey where house prices were very high ($200,000 minimum for anything on the market). I bought a mobile home (1st house for me) for $50,000 and lived there for 6 years. Thanks to the crazy prices recently, I was able to sell it for more (this is not typical). But during the time, I paid significantly less in per-month costs than I would have, had I been renting.
Oh, of course. She was only tortured for eight years. How silly of me! Surely everyone would be happy to receive that amount of torture!

Assange is only accused of trying to help Manning circumvent. Ergo, even evil USA prosecutors don't allege that he did help circumvent. Ergo, Manning had the same access after contact with Assange that she had had before contact with Assange. You are wrong and you should feel bad about it.
> There's no advantage to passing on a house to kids passing on stocks.

Except for Proposition 13 in California, which allows you to pass on your real estate tax to your inheritors once.

In the case of my neighbors, that means their son will pay ~$1200 in taxes per year vs ~$30k for us who own an identical house.

"With software development, though, mistakes are free! If we make a mistake, we can tab back to our editor, change the code, and try again. We even have helpful error messages that can (sometimes) point us in the right direction. This is an incredible luxury, and not one that we take advantage of enough."

This is definitely very underrated and partly why I think computer science education is still sort of broken in some universities. Trial and error should be embraced as a a part of the process of building things. But instead, many curriculums in universities use exams to test your knowledge without any sort of debugger or console. You just have to go off of what you know, getting things as close to correct as you can in the first pass.

All evaluations in CS should surround some type of project based work, it's a huge luxury other fields don't have. Students studying architecture or mechanical engineering, for example, simply can't build a functioning bridge as a test due to the cost of raw materials and how fatal an error may be (that would be really cool though). It's an advantage that we literally can build the bridge equivalent as a project in the CS world.
But now you're working for someone who knows less than you do, and is willing to punish you for that. Yay.
True, but while I don't know Austria's laws, I know that in any country that isn't fully corrupt (and even in many of them) anyone can take anyone to court for anything. There are different rules around loser pays (there is no good answer here - only bad compromises) and how fast the judge will dismiss fraudulent claims, but if there is anyone who can't get a day in court over a legitimize issues the country is corrupt. Austria isn't perfect (no country is), but there international reputation isn't nearly bad enough that I would expect someone to be unable to get your in court for anything they want.

It would be cool if this took in zip code to automate things like property tax rate or wherever else that data is relevant. It would be interesting to have some check mark too if you are a first time home buyer to apply those benefits.
Fundraising for the development of surveillance products would be much more challenging if there was no legal use for it. Right now, companies are encouraged to build whatever they think LEO and counter-terrorism would find useful, and people get shocked when they realize its also being sold to authoritarian third-world governments to use against political activists.
I don't understand what the problem is: The data in the double-blind study clearly shows no statistically significant effects (just look at N and the standard deviation bars) and the company doesn't claim that there would be such effects.

The company only says there is a "positive trend" which there indeed is.
We need a lot more peer review for academic papers.

Couldn't we also say that stripped of their dogmas, these are all useful lenses? They're tools we have access to. Options. We've also collected a lot of information about when they might and might not be the appropriate device, or when they might even be harmful. The idea isn't to throw out history, nor to maintain the status quo. It's to solve individual problems using the best tools for the job, without getting emotional or activistic or wearing a t-shirt or waving a flag or joining the cult that revolves around the tool.
This answer is insightful and matches my understanding.

The article demonstrates an interviewee skillfully maneuvering around their interviewers. It undermines the dominance display which, judging by the comment section, more than a few folks enjoy but also don't want to admit to enjoying.

I'll go a step further and say the desire for dominance in this scenario stems less from avarice and more from insecurity. A new face who who does their job too well, and knows things that the interviewer does not, is someone who can replace the interviewer.
Related to this age observation, I happened to be listening to a recording of Anand Giridharadas speaking in Seattle about how technocratic, engineering-oriented, "rational" mindsets (like most of the people here, like the people who work at tech-influenced foundations) very often do not understand or apparently don't consider the power component of their policy or solution efforts. Net net, more young people in power and more understanding of the power dynamics in society might go a lot farther in getting the "right thing" done.

To e40's point, sadly, when Anand asked the audience how many would be willing to commit to getting involved in the then upcoming election, it was a small minority despite generous applause at other points in his talk about effecting societal change. And this was for local changes in taxation if I recall correctly. I'm guessing they were mostly "old" and have their life's effort to lose in the latter halves of their expected lives.

This is where technical solutions seeking wide societal traction need a helping hand from that other side of our brains that relate to stories, myths, meaning, and purpose.
True, but at least you get to answer that question, instead of your landlord.
I'd love it to provide some mechanism for guestimating my taxes (maybe based on the state or city I live in) - I was too lazy to dig out a tax return to fill out those fields, which meant I couldn't easily use the calculator.
Well would you look at that, you are right. The different layout fooled me, with the pawn row being smaller. It even has the same number of different types.
From the tweet linked by gberger, it seems this was rejected but ended up in the publish queue by error. Sounds like a procedural error, I'm curious what their process looks like now.

Not sure I'm following your point. If you weigh the bad actors and financial incentives of climate change proponents against the bad actors and financial incentives on the fossil fuel side, do you think the scale tips in favour of more honesty for the fossil fuel side or climate change side?

There's no doubt groupthink happens in academia on many issues, but the need to displace fossil fuels really is very important. Not just for climate change reasons, but overall human health. For instance, air pollution from fossil fuels kills tens of thousands of people every year.
Still in embrace IMO. First they have to get corporations to adopt the Microsoft version, though this can be helped along by Extending the Microsoft Linux distribution. Then, once it becomes the most popular distribution, perhaps in conjunction with buying Canonical, they will control Linux. Sure, they likely have to dance with IBM for a while to retain Red Hat's kernel developers, but if IBM can make some cash and secure some concessions from Microsoft, they'd probably be glad to sell Red Hat's assets to Microsquash sometime down the road.

It's all conspiracy theory of course. But wouldn't the world look different if Microsoft acquired Canonical and Red Hat. And before someone drags out the GPL and says that can't happen, that problem is easily fixed by putting all of Microsquash's enhancements in kernel modules, or inventing some new wiz-bang tech to run their stuff outside the kernel and outside the GPL. Nah, that could never happen.
No results because vaccines are not accepted based on publications and peer review on scientific papers.

They go trough completely different and extremely rigorous testing process where everything is documented carefully, documents are examined and double checked.

It's great to see 168 comments before first anti-vaxxer comment.
Nice, a niche topic I am in on. I've experimented with a few of these materials for photography.

One thing that is good to know is that the extreme darkness you typically see in demonstration videos where any sense of depth disappears, is not true to life.

Even indoors, with plain daylight shining inwards, and judging the object with your own eyes, will not give the effect. You'll perceive it as gray and extremely matte.

The difference can be explained by Youtubers picking favorable light conditions, but also because the camera capturing said video tends to have a smaller dynamic range compared to your own eyes. I believe it has been experimentally established that human beings can detect even a single photon:

https://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-human-e...

So don't expect full magic. Fun can still be had though, like half-magic. I have a background painted with a very dark paint (more on the brand in a minute) with inside of it a figure painted with the same paint. With artificial lighting in my office, you can't see the figure at all. When picking up the figure, even directly looking at it won't give away any sense of depth.

Anyway, the paint I use is Musou Black, which is claimed to be darker than Black 2.0 or 3.0:

https://www.ko-pro.black/product/musou-black-paint/

Their darkness is compared by their maximum light absorption rate, supposedly Musou has the highest: 99.4%. Do know that actual absorption depends on your method of painting. Ideally, you thinly spray paint several individual layers for maximum effect.

This same company (I promise I don't work for them) has a material I find far more intriguing. It's called Fineshut Pro.

Whereas the paints you can see as organic, meaning the way you apply it matters, the sheet is "pre-engineered". In the real world, the difference is huge. In particular the sheet also has the full darkness effect in unfavorable light conditions (direct daylight). However, only when light hits at a particular angle.
I noticed the increased frequency of mentions, but who is pushing?
Judging by how hard it was to get a concrete answer on what my property tax would be after actually buying a house a couple months ago, I suspect this might be a big lift.
When I got my Black 3.0 bottles via the Kickstarter I turned two wooden eggs and painted one with their gold and one with Black 3.0. Here's a picture of the two taken in a very well lit workshop: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159690521351509&set=a...

It looks like the black egg was Photoshopped out of the picture, but I promise it looked the same in person and that table used as a background is painted 20% gray.
Read a similar article from this publication on quantum mechanics, and have a similar background in that area, and I concur completely. Maybe that's just the exact audience this is targeted to but it's by far the best "popular-press" publications on subjects of this level I've read.
I Googled what I forgot till I found text that was interesting to read, basically.

For me, once I have found something to remind me, it all went back fast.
I once interviewed with Boeing research and gave them the spiel about my PhD work on network protocols. They started asking me about Petri nets. I know nothing about Petri nets other than that they're another approach to distributed systems.

I'm fairly sure I left them convinced I didn't understand my own research.
Be wary of mobile home parks, though. The owners of the parks are increasingly selling them to two types of folks:

1. Those who are looking to jack up rates and price people out.

2. Those who are looking to replace the park with, say, an office building or a mall.

Particularly in the 2nd case, you are being evicted. And despite the name, mobile homes are not mobile in most cases. You will lose everything. Some states are passing regulations to protect the homeowners, so check your local laws.

I have some friends in Texas who had their first home as a manufactured home in a trailer park. But note that the validity of mobile homes / manufactured homes depends strongly on your local culture... culture that's quite different from state-to-state, or city-to-city even.

There are plenty of locations where mobile homes were driven out by NIMBY laws, and are simply not an option.
Thanks for skulpt. Using it as a replacement for replit to teach kids.
I bet they weren’t as dumb as you think and you were passed on for being stubborn and drunk on ego.

Of the many scenarios where amortized complexity is not okay, code in a tight loop where predictable performance is key, e.g. code running game logic, jumps immediately to the top of the list. The fact that you were unable to incorporate this into the conversation makes me suspect you were more interested in putting on a show than a practical solution to the task at hand. The worst case performance for a dynamic array is O(n), but the amortized performance is constant. They aren't the same thing.

You may be a different, more mature, engineer nowadays. But, when I encounter the type of persona your story describes I tend to respond with strong no’s irrespective of whether you have since written a textbook.
> rate of return the money you would otherwise use for the down payment

Really the most important number, but all of these suggestions are crucial to the calculation. Money that doesn't get invested in a house gets invested in other things. Pretend it's in an index fund.
Once had a interviewer for a startup ask their final question after they found out I performed stand-up comedy as a hobby:

If SNL were to call you and offer you a job while you were working for us, would you take it?

I know what they wanted me to say but I thought it was a pretty dumb question. So I said:

Of course I’d take the job with SNL, but I didn’t move to this city for stand-up comedy, that’s just a side hobby.

I did not get the job and I guess they were looking for someone more dishonest.
For the record. Most analog clocks have smooth motion for minute and hour (for the precision of the gearing). Its the second hand that ticks.
