> Waited hoping one day someone will hire me without requiring me to white-boarding. Yep it is worse than water-boarding.

Never tried waterboarding, but my issue with white boarding is that it’s deeply subjective. With working code you at least can judge the correctness straight away with a real piece of runnable code. You can also observe how the candidate reasons around the problem and how they formulate and test hypotheses. With a white board you can observe the candi^Wvictim making a table test, a term I first heard in the 70s and last heard in the early 80s. It is just cruel.
Ghidra is as good as IDA with caveats, in my opinion. If you're reversing a less-common architecture (not ARM/x86) which Ghidra supports well, it's much more effective than IDA simply by virtue of having a psuedocode decompiler (IDA's Hex-Rays is architecture-specialized).

The IDA GUI and scripting functionalities are much more common in tutorials and the ecosystem, so the Ghidra learning curve can be greater, but it's not really inferior.

IDA has fewer decompilation/disassembly bugs but in both IDA and Ghidra, bugs are usually fairly easy to spot and not a huge detriment to achieving a goal.

IDA deals with C++ better than Ghidra (imo).

Anyway, for free Ghidra eats IDA's lunch, and the IDA home edition offering is weak - so for a hobbyist, Ghidra is a clear home run.
Well yes that's true. But at the same time a lot of your potential real life friends are also going to be playing video games instead of being sociable in real life.

I do empathize with you a lot having had a very similar experience in my youth. But ultimately finding people that were like me in real life was crucial.

While it's hard to make large generalizations, some people just don't make friends easily in real life and gaming/the internet give them a means to be themselves without having to worry about being awkward so taking that away is almost the same as telling them to not make any friends.

On the other hand, I've definitely seen an echo chamber effect where some people have negative growth socially due to the internet/gaming. E.G. The red pill or incel channels.

In my experience, cifs is the client side, smb[d] is the server side.

On Linux, anyway. cifs has been in the kernel (supporting access to SMB shares, including through SMB 3.1), whereas the user-space samba has always been the only way to get SMB sharing (server-side).

edit: clarification
I anticipate this being downvoted by people who aren't aware of the nuance of the idea here (although, to be fair, that's because the nuance wasn't properly explained), so I'm going to explain it:

Patents allow smaller inventors a monopoly on their inventions. Without this monopoly, then because of their massive amounts of capital and engineering talent, massive megacorps/conglomerates are able to easily copy (even if imperfectly) most things that you might want to invent, with little recourse from the inventors.

(yes, behemoth organizations can still get patents - that's often still a better trade for a smaller inventor)

...that said, I'm still not convinced that software patents are a good idea.

An obvious difference between many modern games and video platforms are the micro-transactions, which I think do clearly put them in a different category.
People talking about the benefits of games reminds me of people talking about the benefits of, say, a glass of wine with every meal: it's worth looking into but at the same time it's the sort of thing that obviously doesn't scale linearly with the amount/intensity of consumption.

I similarly have mixed feelings as well, but for slightly different reasons. I've read about studies that say that musical training (which is often believed to translate to improvements in other cognitive aspects of life) doesn't actually correlate to said improvements, and I suspect that the same might be true for games (e.g. solving game puzzles doesn't necessarily mean you get better at school math or whatever)

This line of reasoning is also supported by research on correlation between games and violence (i.e. the consensus is that no such causation relationship exists).

All of these suggest (to me) that gaming is just its own activity without much impact on life other than opportunity cost itself.

However, there are some aspects of gaming that can affect overall well-being, specifically aspects related to repetitiveness (e.g. grinding). Repetitiveness is something that does come up in a lot of disciplines (e.g. its soothing effect in autist kids, or repetitiveness as tool in the context of meditation, etc).

The "addictive" aspect isn't necessarily a bad thing either, IMHO. Games are, almost by definition, supposed to be engaging. But that addictiveness may come in a form of trade-offs, for example, back in the day of grindy RPGs, delayed gratification was basically the entire point of grinding. The one aspect that I think is justly vilified is monetization strategies that tie to addictive elements of gameplay (especially the gacha variety) and this is something that I'd actually commend China for trying to address via regulation.

> Reading did that for me.

Reading decidedly did not do that for me. I didn't have the attention span for/interest in most books.

> but it doesn't have to be gaming to connect with people of your age, isn't it?

Socializing was always difficult for me. Gaming was one of the few things I could mention and my peers would say "oh, me too!"

> I'm quite sure that e.g. a 1 hr/day limit would be a good thing

That would be more than twice the limit described

> You can say "parents", but at one point children stop listening. Then what do you do?

My parents actually did limit me to 30m/day on weekdays (they took the limits off on weekends). I don't know why you suggest that I could've simply ignored them (but somehow couldn't ignore a government mandate?).

When I would reach my limit for the day I'd generally do what homework I had (fair enough), and then... do nothing. Mindlessly watch TV out of total boredom. Looking back, I'm not sure why they thought that was better.

Anyway: the common theme for this and all other totalitarian ideas is that individuals are different people with different needs, and what's best for one isn't best for others.

Adtech isn't particularly complicated.

Ad Targeting, broadly fits into these categories (with limited and over simplified descriptions):

Geographic - Where are you viewing the ad from?

Contextual - What is the content surrounding the ad?

Demographic - What do we know about you based on context? (sites have demographics)

Behavioral - What did you buy in the past?

Appliance - what you are using to view the ad be it a toaster or Chrome on Windows?

There are all sorts of possible reasons, to your observed targeting failures.

> An ad for a food product I cannot consume for medical reasons.

How would an ad company know that?

> An ad for a local pizza joint in a city a thousand miles away.

This is a geographic targeting failure, unless - you are on a VPN where the IP is misrepresented or you have purchased from the location before.

> An ad for something to use on body parts that I don't possess because of my gender.

This could be contextual or simply dumping impressions to meet a campaign run expiry.

> a small group of people within the SV bubble decided to reinvent the wheel, and did so badly.

Nope. So you are disappointed the heuristics don't have more concrete data about you? It's the same as it always was. Smaller and new(er) companies have different priorities for what to focus on, but it's all the same tech.
I agree that game engines should empower everyone to create more and better content with less effort. However, I don't think that a game engine specific scripting language is the best approach. For simple games that are similar to other games, GDScript is tolerable... it's when you try to push the boundaries of what's possible in games that GDScript falls apart.

nope. what i mean is doing undo operations on a project as opposed to a buffer. lets say you have 3 buffers open and you edit buffer 1 (i), then you edit buffer 3 (ii), then you edit buffer 2 (iii), and then back to buffer 3 and you edit it some more (iv). finally you want to do project-undo from this point in buffer 3. the undo sequence then goes like this:

(iv) - (iii) - (ii) - (i)

How do you exercise right of way over another submarine that you don't know the position of?

The whole point of submarines is that they're stealthy. Active sonor would give away their position. They're basically swimming blind. The only way this all works is the ocean is big enough that random collisions are statistically rare - but there's not much actually preventing them.
I'm totally unfamiliar with French Civil law; can contract law ever be punishable with any prison time? In the US copyright law is (at least in theory) a criminal offense, punishable with prison time, but my understanding is that breech of contract is not.

The implications, if true, would be that if you license something in France, and start selling copies in flagrant violation of the license, you cannot be threatened with criminal charges?

There are some papers on wideband / high speed HF communication techniques. Most applications are basically backup for military applications when satellite communication fails.

I think it's an interesting topic, but with mesh networks and satellites, HF high speed links are not as relevant.
But as the article also points out, the different ways of enforcement typically result in drastically different levels of compensation (read: incentive) with contract law being judged on missed profits, which is often zero for FOSS libraries.
Why is it regulated anyway? What’s the balance at play? Limits?

This is a bit off-topic, but I would really like to see a good query optimiser for GraphQL. Last I checked the industry standard solution to the "N+1 selects" problem that nested queries trigger was to add a delay and attempt to batch those N calls into one. I expect EdgeDB's GraphQL implementation just translates to EdgeQL/SQL and can simply optimise that. (Probably Hasura does this too.) But I have yet to see anything near that in a GraphQL server implementation for any programming language.

From the GraphQL FAQ:

> Accessing and manipulating data is performed with arbitrary functions called resolvers. ... Generally, these resolver functions should delegate to a business logic layer responsible for communicating with the various underlying data sources. These data sources could be remote APIs, databases, local cache, and nearly anything else your programming language can access.

Somehow the lets-implement-this-syntax-in-100-popular-languages part of being a new language means these GraphQL server libraries just give you bare bones "get by id", "get all" interfaces to implement, and you're stuck with their dumb processing. This looks like a pretty standard experience of implementing GraphQL, and having to clear out a dozen jaw-droppingly dumb bugs introduced because the libraries do literally nothing for you: https://www.toptal.com/graphql/graphql-internal-api-optimiza....

Being a language, of course it must describe what the queries actually do in abstract, naive terms. Just like a programming language standard. But undefined behaviours are meant to be exploited, not used as a prototype for every implementation on Earth. I don't think GraphQL implementations are doing this nearly enough, considering that the goal is to build an SQL-like for arbitrary data backends. SQL databases ALL have optimisers. It's simply non-negotiable. For GraphQL, do whatever you need -- ask me which collections are available as tables in the same database so you can reorganise a query and send them as one "codegen unit", ask me to estimate the cost of using a resolver, ask me to build and keep indexes. That's the job, right?
I'm not particularly familiar with music creation, but it always seemed to me neural nets would be better at handling music production more than composition. That is, changing the sound to be, say, a trent reznor style output given the original.

Does that make any sense?
Lot of dismissive reactions to these questions, but there actually are non sound related signals we use to detect submarines and there is absolutely research on how to do that from space.
This article is great, but just read the "Signal Processing" section if you're interested in space.

If you want to be the global superpower and also keep your strangehold on society, you don't want children spending a lot of time on games.

The US brain-drained the entire world for more 100 years, and the CCP likely sees efforts like this as a way to catch up.

I disagree -- I think you become as powerful as the US by being the best place for smart people to move to, not by forcing your populous into a predetermined mold -- but they're never going to be the attractive bastion of freedom that the US was perceived as.
Bad idea.

That assumes a static level of exploitation. If criminal gangs decide that Honda/Acura is the low-hanging fruit and ramp up theft of these vehicles, the insurance companies will have to react with increased insurance costs, which will put pressure on the manufacturers since it raises TCOO.

Ditto. Did not enjoy Oatly, but the store brand was great for use in cereal (and I drank regular milk forever). It was the same for my kids. Not complaining since the store brand is even cheaper.
For the top law firms, things are pretty straightforward. You have to pass the bar, there's the school you went to, your class rank at the school, internships and clerkships, and then associates are largely up or out.

I assume it actually works pretty well but there's obviously a huge amount of gatekeeping involved.

MOE: Hey! What’s the idea of the three watches?

CURLY: That’s the way I tell the time.

MOE: How do you tell the time?

CURLY: This one runs ten minutes slow every two hours. This runs twenty minutes fast every four hours. The one in the middle is broken and stopped at two o’clock.

MOE: Well, how do you tell the time?

CURLY: I take the ten minutes on this one and subtract it by the twenty minutes on that one. Then I divide it by the two in the middle.

MOE: Well, what time is it now?

[Curly grabs a clock from the inside of his jacket pocket]

CURLY: Uh, ten minutes to four.

MOE: Hmm so it is!

[Moe breaks the watch on Curly’s head.]

The Limitations of Existing Deep Learning Frameworks: Resource Dependency
This article will introduce the importance of resource dependency and the limitations of original frameworks in dealing with this challenge.
When you were a kid you had a lot of extra time and video games fill that voids.
I would probably ban my kids from playing anything with those gambling-style mechanics, yeah. I think it's a disgusting trend that's turning a wonderful medium into digital cigarettes. I might make an exception for something all their friends were playing together, but I wouldn't pay for any loot boxes.

But I would caution against being too picky about single-player experiences. The most meaningful games for me were not generally story-based, they were "play-based". Exploring mechanics, exploring a world, seeing what might be possible, what might lie out there to be found. Zelda, Pokémon, etc. A game doesn't have to be a work of literature to be meaningful and worthwhile; children in particular benefit from play. I would cite Minecraft as a good modern example of this ethos (which can of course be played either alone or with others, and is valuable in both modes).
In a cut-throat environment, where 10% of people are PIP'ed, it is expected: your senior colleagues are not going to help you, will lead you down a wrong path, etc. That way, the tribal knowledge will be with them, and they can outshine any new employee.

In your interview case, they should have given you hints, even if they want to not hire you later.
Surely not.

The submarine with the larger more sensitive instruments in a quieter environment ought to be able to detect sound levels below that which their active opposition can.

If X amount of noise-energy hits the submarine, it only reflects Y<X of that energy, and only Z<Y of that reflection goes in the right direction to be detected by the opposition. The noise should be louder at the submarine, than at the thing detecting the submarine.

Both of these weigh in favor of the submarine detecting the searcher before the searcher detects the submarine.
Comparison between Weber’s electrodynamics and classical electrodynamics [pdf]
I hope this doesn't displace Samba.

NFS is a pain to use specifically because it's compiled into the kernel, and reads config files that have to live in /etc. That makes it very hard to run or control as an unprivileged user. It also means that a file in /etc needs to be writeable. That makes NFS servers very hard to start, stop, and configure as part of a test bench.

Kernel NFS also essentially displaced all userspace NFS servers (that I'm aware of anyways). At least, I've never
been able to get a userspace one to work.

I like Samba specifically because it's easy to configure, start, and stop from userspace. I don't want to see it get obsoleted.

It's unlikely to be useful in any other situation. Certainly not for averaging the temperature of a galaxy.
I think it really depends. I have way too many personal anecdotes of people I knew from back in the day (middle/high school) who gamed like 8 hours a day. Most of those people were _addicted_, and a handful went on to drop out of college and aren't really doing that great today. They still play 8+ hours a day..

I remember I'd ask them if they wanted to study, or if they want to go hiking or do something IRL, but they'd always refuse and prefer to play some MMO and get high level loot there. Personally, the people I used to play some MMOs with were huge into merchanting and controlling the in-game economies, and I think there's a different complexity involved in running spreadsheets and following trends vs following what an addon tells you to press next. These guys were much older than me, and they taught me a lot about basic economics. Most games are designed to have people keep playing an endless grind, but purely focusing on in-game money and controlling the economy was not something the games would have designed by default.

I think by default, most young people would benefit (esp mental health wise) by having their video game usage cut down. As I grow older, it is insane how cigarettes or gambling aren't the only addictive things. Kids are exposed to it from a young age by trading their time for something meaningless. And I'd argue that people like you and me who feel they learned problem solving or how economies work (through gaming as kids) are quite rare.
It's limited because they don't want to create a defacto lower limit on what it costs to start using HAM bands.

That said, I agree it's taking too long. The technology for the higher symbol rates is now cheap enough to be a non-issue.

It will probably be only a few percent improvement in individual cell access time. Pretty much all RAM performance improvements have been in expanding parallelization which only improves burst access.
