Looks like he wasn't kidding, at least for Java shops with untuned JVMs. This was linked from the article and from Dan Luu's work at Twitter. "We spent one day1 building a system that immediately found a mid 7 figure optimization (which ended up shipping). In the first year, we shipped mid 8 figures per year worth of cost savings as a result. The key feature this system introduces is the ability to query metrics data across all hosts and all services and over any period of time (since inception), so we've called it LongTermMetrics (LTM) internally since I like boring, descriptive, names.

https://danluu.com/metrics-analytics/

I'll add that I worked in systems at a large php shop which didn't have good metrics for utilization. After the adoption of HHVM their utilization dropped enough that they ended up buying extra hardware in the 6 figures. They knew that performance was a lot better but they didn't quantify it. So surprise! All it took to figure that out and start making better decisions was to collect SAR data and dump it to a central log. So, yeah. Boring is good or at least a good place to start.
I'd be a lot more interested in an id system that was controlled by the individual rights holder: a verified system granting or revoking access to their data. Individuals have far more incentive to protect their data than state apparatus.
What’s it like to work at Big Tech
You don't say? /s

Developers: We want to distribute our software independent of any app store.

Apple: F* you.

Devs: We don't care about Apple Pay.

Apple: F* you. You have to integrate Apple Pay into your apps and cannot mention other payments systems in your app. But since you sued us, we'll generously allow you to tell your clients about alternative payments systems through any other medium (but not your app).

Devs: We want you to stop gauging us with commissions.

Apple: F* you. But since you sued, we'll not raise the 15 to 30% rates you suckers pay us, for 3 whole years!

Devs: But we sued you ...

Apple: Ok, fine - we'll give some of you a share of $100 million of your own money from the billions all of you suckers pay us annually.

The lawyer who filed the suit on behalf of the devs, and who probably profited the most from the lawsuit, happily declared: “We truly are proud that a case brought by two developers, standing in the shoes of tens of thousands of U.S. iOS developers, could help to bring about so much important change.” - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/27/technology/apple-settles-...
I recently bought an iPad for drawing and I can't help but laugh when people advocate for apple's walled gardens after spending a day in the app store. It's just full of scams and clones and ad riden Spyware. Seriously no one believes that appstore is any better than play store these days right?
IMO once you start down the ufw or firewalld path, managing iptables directly is off the table. Do one or the other if you want to stay sane.
> ...as President Joe Biden appealed to private sector executives to "raise the bar on cybersecurity."

So a new banner has been hoisted, under which some lobbyist interests will be serviced, and if this results in any security improvements - it will be a happy accident. Here, I'll fix the problem for you Biden - here is what you say: "Today I've been directed to announce that... I've directed the Department of Justice to investigate the negligent actions of companies that have contributed to the growing trend of identity theft and associated crimes." Boom, problem solved. This solution is well known, and has been for as long as I can remember. If somebody fills their orphanage-for-the-blind adjacent warehouse full of TNT, and a chain smoking burglar breaks in... the warehouse owner isn't the victim.
What good can come from this? "We want to improve our cybersecurity - lets engage the biggest technology companies in the country." If we invite them all to a luncheon, their collective knowledge of "cyber" must lead to something good, right? Except all of these executives likely have limited understanding of cybersecurity at best. At worst, they or their team already thought up regulations to help crush early companies, and this is an opportunity to get them through.
This analysis appears to be of the modern shakespear text. That can differ from "first folio" versions closest to what was actually performed. The modern text has been sanitized, the poetry cleaned up. I wouldnt dig too deep into specific word counts as they are likely more a result of later rewordings. An extra the here or there may have been added by publishers to perfect the meter. That happens sometimes when a play for the stage starts being sold as a poem to be read in drawing rooms.

Your opinion is misconstrued.
Content blocking made it work for me
Sounds like Chrome is broken.
Agreed. My last few experiences with 'security officers' were that they knew how to read off a checklist, and check said checklist.

None of the three had any clue if what we were saying was even true. Or what it would mean if it weren't.

To make myself more clear: checklists might be ok, if the checker can scour the code and prove such things. I've never met one that does or even seems to have the ability to.
>But that isn't on the police - they don't arrest anyone because the DA doesn't prosecute anyone.

This always struck me as a BS excuse, because if you're trying to demonstrate that the DA is the problem, wouldn't you want to be making arrests and creating a paper trail to prove your point? Apathy by the police just makes them look bad to anyone who's on the receiving end of it.

And getting arrested is still a deterrent without charges. Hell, even "A cop might begin asking me some questions" is a mild deterrent.
So let’s rise to the challenge
> The demise of the department store is largely due to them squandering their biggest advantage which was customer service and customer experience.

And inventory. And different inventory.

It used to be that each department store had different fashions. As such, there was a difference between each chain. However, once they all started selling the same Chinese crap, there was no differentiation so why buy ono anything other than price.

And department stores used to have inventory and more than one of each size. How many times do you need to go into a department store and find that they don't have your size before you quit going in at all?
Very hard work and often takes a lot of creativity. I always thought measurement was the essence of engineering but these days find it to be a lost art. Too often the market for the measure takes priority over the scientific piece.
It’s lighter than air so the flames burn hot but the gas is going up too - and the ship is losing lift and going down at the same time. It’s a good combination if you have to be on fire.

The main key would be a gasbag that’s not flammable.
Trolling is a spectrum, people
you are quite right.

i remember a time when seeing the troll emoji meant someone was being pranked and the small communities i was part of enjoyed the laughter.

nowadays, i wouldn't bother using that emoji. besides, i don't think it made it to the standard emojis.

there is... just something about things becoming popular or going mainstream and turning bad. countless of benign things became harmful once they went mainstream.
> Send a surgical strike into a country that aside from having the presence of the bad actor had nothing to do with it?

Work with law enforcement agencies in those countries to apprehend the person. If the country won't cooperate or shields the attackers, then sure, a drone strike could work.
I always feel pity when I read accounts of people destroying their mental health and lives to the “glory” of a company. If you don’t look out for, and protect yourself, then there are plenty of people/corporations out there eager and willing to destroy you and suck every last bit of life out of you, leaving you broken and forgotten.
How many addicts crash and burn before reproductive age?
Safari Reader View fixed it for me.
It's kind of a weird situation, because it would be a very short-lived union, since the first thing they should want is competing app stores. At which point competitive pressure would keep the various app stores in check and you would no longer need the union for anything.

But as a solution to the immediate problem, it could work, right?
How do they vibrate, then?
"Cybersecurity" = Companies must coordinate more closely with the national security state

Doesn't sound so nice when you put it like that.
I assume they would feel that sticking their neck out like that would put themselves at personal risk, either literally or figuratively.
You can do something similar to what golang does. You can define an interface and then have a `thing_x86.c` and a `thing_arm64.c` etc. If you abstract the problem this way you are very explicit about what is being linked into the binary while not having the complex state management issues of preprocessor magic.
That might feel like ayahuasca wasn't the cure-all, but hear me out.

I was an absolute alcoholic in beginning of 2018 (and for 10+ yeas before that). I knew I was probably going to die really early from drinking, but I had no motivation to stop. I did not see it happening at all.

Then I had few psychedelic trips with friend on mountains, and everything changed. I was still an alcoholic, I still drank way too much. But suddenly I had all the motivation needed, I knew I had to stop, I wanted to stop, I knew I will stop. If I could explain the experience, I had seen far in the future the ways my life could go, and at that point I made the easiest choice ever, that I'll have to pick the sober route.

It didn't happen instantly, I was still addicted, I had a lot of setbacks, alcohol is powerful drug. It took me few years, but now I've limited my alcohol use to tiny tiny percentage of what it used to be.

I know it was the psychedelics, because how my thinking changed in that special time, a complete 180 turn, biggest part being the night of the best LSD trip I had. If you were to ask my friends, they would not attribute it to psychedelics. In their mind I was alcoholic, went to mountains, came back alcoholic, and then few years later wasn't really drinking anymore. They'd be wrong, but I can understand how they feel that way.
Yeah I also think we should disband NASA for their ties to von Braun.

Honestly, who gives a fuck. It was funny, and not a racist deed. He fucked with scumbags here.

E: been on craigslist lately?
Any idea why India is reporting success in the real world that isn't predicted by available studies? E.g. could someone design a study in Uttar Pradesh, with their huge population, to dig deeper into conflicts between the studies available for Lowe's analysis, and the claimed success in UP? There are states in India not using Ivermectin, which could be compared with the effects of UP's official state policy of making Ivermectin widely available to their population.

When experiments don't match our predictions, there is often either an error in the experiment, or an opportunity to improve the models behind the prediction. In this case, one of the experiments (UP with 200 million people) apparently has an unexpectedly good, positive, cheap outcome with minimal supply chain dependencies or safety risks.

If the observations are incorrect, that should be easy to establish.

If we are unable to explain this observed, positive, practical outcome via existing theory, that would be scientifically exciting!
It’s interesting that the answer everyone gives is the least effective and efficient way - electrolysis.

Sulfuric acid and iron into hydrogen is much simpler.
Who’s talking about the person being a foreign entity? You’re seriously confused.
This is, in all honesty, a terrifying point of view.

Forcing people to take part in a society that has already rejected them and conform to someone else’s view of normal, healthy, stable, etc., that, to me, would be literal torture. I don’t consider it humane to torture people.

How do you feel about all the busywork jobs that enable so so much more squandering of human potential? Should all those folks be forced to live your version of their best life?
You keep using the word bike-shedding incorrectly. Did you just learn this word and are really excited to use it everywhere?
It was a bipartisan initiative. Tying Regan’s name to it seems disingenuous.
I wouldn’t blame China for sudden demand for extremely cheap goods. They’re just responding to the same market incentives like everyone else. You see this race to the bottom in every market segment not just the ones that are typically supplied by Chinese manufacturers.
Well, the corruption comes in when they start influencing politics, and also when they use their monopoly in shady ways to evict people and such. I agree it's problem regardless of corruption.
I have been working with Squeak for many years. It's stable, evolving, and always interesting. I'm also a big fan of Cuis, but Squeak is still my personal favorite.
The bit where they limit some of the changes to 3 years likely made it fall a bit flat. They may have meant something different, but it sounded like "then we'll get back to sticking it to you" to me.
That sounds like apathy to me. I think in this industry we have way more opportunities to find meaning to be content with zoning out 40 hours a week.
Or the wonderful world of FIPS and Common Criteria.
Change job ASAP. Getting help while still being abused doesn’t help.
> you still cannot collapse the sidebar on the left

The sidebar bothers me all the time, when I want to have two windows side-by-side on my screen. The actual chat ends up being smaller than the sidebar.

I wrote a javascript bookmarklet that automatically shows/hides the sidebar element on hover. I've gotten a lot of use out of it. It's 821 characters --- less than three tweets long.

Why haven't they solved this problem for users? It's shocking that the only way to shrink the sidebar is to inject javascript.
I didn't want to get into that part of it, but Apple definitely needs developers just as much as developers need them. They tried "just make webapps" (which is way better if your main focus is security over all else) for a year and realized very quickly on that they needed native software for their phones.
It depends on the city. I am living in Mumbai since 2014 and faced power outage only once which was due to grid failure caused by some cyber attack.

Otherwise, there is uninterrupted power supply 24x7x365.
>* Send a surgical strike into a country that aside from having the presence of the bad actor had nothing to do with it?*

Here's the plan: invade Afganistan, and eventually find the guy years later in a compound in Pakistan.
I could've written this article, it is my life almost verbatim.

I was hanging out with this woman yesterday actually, and we were walking around Walmart and she looks at her phone, taps it a couple of times and proceeds to the aisle with the thing we were looking for. Later we were trying to watch a movie on my computer (because I don't have a TV) and it wouldn't play, because my machine doesn't have the necessary what have you for DRM for her streaming service. I said out loud "why do I make my life hard for no reason?" Then I immediately realized why, I have very good reasons.

The one place I diverge is that it is not a hobby for me. It used to be, but I don't enjoy it anymore. I just want to be free of the reasons I have to do it and this is what I have to do.
And America didn't respect British copyright either. Charles Dickens was a bestselling author in 19th century America but didn't make any money from it because American publishers pirated his books -- and it was legal. Dickens eventually did a couple of tours of America where people paid for tickets to see and hear him read from his books because that was the only way he could monetize his American popularity.
Have been running it as a Debian system (realized I don’t need Proxmox, but already had some stuff set up) for about a year and had no idea. Absolutely no problems.
> After examining all available intelligence reporting and other information, though, the IC remains divided on the most likely origin of COVID-19. All agencies assess that two hypotheses are plausible: natural exposure to an infected animal and a laboratory-associated incident.

> China’s cooperation most likely would be needed to reach a conclusive assessment of the origins of COVID-19. Beijing, however, continues to hinder the global investigation, resist sharing information and blame other countries, including the United States.

For those following the topic, there doesn’t seem to be any new information here. We still have no conclusive evidence and are blocked by political impasse.
No. It had 232 tons of bouyancy. Most of that was taken up by its own mass. The amount it could lift, its payload, was a tiny fraction of that amount. Wikipedia says it could lift aprox 10,000kg. Roughly the 5% payload ratio of a typical space launch today.
How do we pay for this?
Me too and me too
The LX2160a has a 50Gbps crypto accelerator and a 100Gbps compression/decompression accelerator built into the network packet processor to help offload some of the processing. The 16-cores are useful for the high speed packet processing in userspace with DPDK.
> The manager of that team demanded I get the release out, and just ignored anything else I had to say. I pointed out that it took them a really long time to respond to my initial report of the issue and we may have been able to come up with something had they responded. The other team wasn’t buying it. From their perspective, the expectation had already been set, and it was up to us to get our job done no matter the cost.

The source of all your misery may have been your inept manager. Your manager's job is to insulate you from these situations when it escalates. Your job is to build a good enough relationship with your manager that they go to bat for you in ambiguous situations. If you can't build this relationship, leave the team immediately and find something else. Direct managers make or break your experience.
I raise beef and dairy on my farm. My milk cow can produce several gallons per day. She drinks at most 20 gallons of water on a hot day. Water scarcity is a huge problem, but the numbers quoted above are completely bogus. In truth, beef can improve the ability of land to capture water by creating fertility in poor soil, as the resulting vegetation leads to increased water retention.
The NFL might have moved past denial, but the NCAA and high school sports don't seem to have traveled very far along that path.

It's profoundly sad that institutions of higher learning are promoting activities that they know can cause brain damage and long term disability, just so they can make money and entertain their alumni.
Reading information aloud to yourself improves memory of materials
Are startup founders the new purchased commissions?
Obsidian uses markdown files stored in a folder, so any fileshare should work fine. There's no account management or permissions needed, either you have the .md files or you don't. I use Dropbox to carry notes between my PC and laptop, but I've seen a lot of talk of hosting on GitHub or similar services as well, which would give you revision history and authoring if you needed to know who did what
If you're going to quote, you could at least do so accurately.
Consumer water needs are just fine. The coastal areas where most people live are building desalinization plants and will keep doing so until consumer water needs are met.

When you talk about California water crisis, you are talking about California Agribusiness water crisis. Yes, the farms in the Central Valley will eventually eat themselves like Easter Island once they drain the aquifer completely.
What in Linux do you need a GUI for though?
Well, yes and no. You can have liability on inputs or liability on outputs. For restaurants, liability on outputs would mean a restaurant being liable for any food poisoning that occurs within X hours of eating there. But, human health has many confounding factors, so the inputs are easier to measure and to impose liability on.

For computer security, I'd want to see liability on results, and not just on the methods and the checklists. If a company has a data breach, then that's something for which they can be held liable. That might mean that it becomes much more expensive to maintain large databases on users, which would be a good change.
In downtown Seoul, the Cheongyecheon stream was vaulted and paved over in the 1970s. People more or less entirely forgot it existed. In the early 2000s a program was put in place to tear up the roadway that sat on top of the stream and turn it into an urban park. The program was unpopular at the beginning because it eliminated valuable roads and cost almost a billion dollars to fix.

Today it's enormously popular, has won numerous global awards for urban redevelopment, and offers a wonderful quiet respite from the grind of the city.

Bonus, they found numerous ancient artifacts during the reclamation and integrated many of them into the system.

Wow, I had no idea troll carried a similar connotation problem as hacker
Another way to look at this is that this person was far too invested in their work and as a result had a negative experience. It's likely they would have similar anxiety issues in most workplaces. Easy to blame a toxic culture. Much harder to accept that your personality is part of the problem. And if this person could accept that, they'd hopefully realize that in caring so much about their work, they were damaging their own mental health.
Funny how two people can hack two separate home phones to run DOOM without realizing it until after the fact. For perspective, I posted a blog article about modifying a CaptionCall phone to run DOOM at the same time [1] as this was posted! What a unique coincidence!

Far more than just SOMA/Tenderloin is problematic. Mission, Hunters Point are just as bad.
And more suburban areas like Fillmore, Western Addition Inner Richmond are still subject to rampant petty crime. I’ve lived in a few of these areas and I am well aware.

Didn’t a family just get held up at gunpoint while washing their car near Bernal Heights?

Not cherry picking.
The "over 55" restrictions on Roth withdrawals isn't a problem for me.

this project allows you to easily run GPT-2/GPT-3 locally on the command line or as a http server, and it's designed specifically for quick prototyping etc on your local machine.

It's fully compatible with all Huggingface Transformers models!
> For IPv4, you can just send a 1500 octet DNS reply and it will be fragmented as needed

As mentioned in theory yes, in practice most hardware base IPv4 routers don't actually implement fragmentation anymore.

> You can always fragment at 1280 but many firewall will drop fragmented packets, also because IPv6 extension header parsing is complicated.

Many of the same firewalls drop fragmented DNS packets as well because of cache poisoning attacks and other issues.

All that isn't to say people haven't tried/used fragmentation for UDP DNS packets but rather it's historically never worked reliably or securely anyways which is why all of the current BCPs RFCs are to avoid it at all costs.

All of that is why EDNS0 specified the min max to be 1220 bytes and dnsflagday last year focused on 1232 of payload bytes instead of 1500 (minus change).
Would you mind sharing/making a gist of it please?
Upsetting super wealthy people too much will get you the gawker treatment, or something similarly debilitating.
