Armchair theory: taking the stereotypical idea of "squirrel on crack" both seriously and literally, maybe people on drugs become like bowerbirds with very, very broken interestingness ranking.

All the stuff you mentioned was immediately visible (so no complex problem solving to find it) and would probably look "definitely probably valuable" to a hyped up 5 year old.

Aaaaand thennnn whoever did the stealing probably just sold it all to someone else in _exactly the same condition_ (high on whatever) who also considered it valuable enough to make a fair trade to swap it all for $amount of $thing.

I'm not sure what the balance is, but it's part-hilarious and part-sad that, if this theory is correct, there's an utterly illogical commodity market being sustained by tweaked-out squirrels with half the attention span of a goldfish, leaves people scratching their heads in its wake, and is so confusingly successful people just don't park in certain places.

... which precisely is something I cannot make sure on a device where I'm tempted to use a USB condom, and it won't be useful at all for laptops.
Especially when you have a wave of users complaining to you about it being broken or saying your app is bad but the broke part was a downstream patch.
The product description does a really poor job of explaining what this is to someone who has never heard of it. It's just a wink-wink-nudge-nudge reference to some DEFCON talk.

Can someone explain what this is? Is it a hardware keylogger?
In my experience, all the racks going into the comms rooms on the Navy ships we worked in had TEMPEST filters on their power inputs. The term I believe comes from the name of a NSA program using those kind of techniques for spying.
OK, I see that now, thank you.
Corporations aren't that carefully structured to avoid liability. The standard corporate charter in the united states limits it by default.
One of the questions we had for python developer interviews in my previous startup was regarding implementing parallel/concurrent tasks in Python and we expected the candidates to tell the limitations with GIL to do justice to the parallel/concurrent tasks.

Honestly anything to improve performance with large python applications seemed like a hack - gevent, Gunicorn, uvloop, switching libraries to cython etc. It delayed our product rollout and increased costs(incl. cloud infrastructure). Hence I switched to Go for anything where performance matters.

Good to know that Ruby3.0 has made some improvements regarding concurrency/parallelism.

Idunno, I find utter stupidity just for utter stupidity's sake offensive in all ways, including morally.
Thanks for sharing, fascinating stuff.
>Also wondering how much PS/2 vs USB matters.

I had to get to grips with the USB spec when designing my USB scope [1].

Adherence to the USB spec itself doesn't necessarily create human-perceptible latency; HID frames can be transmitted every 1 ms and could be parsed in a negligible number of CPU cycles on an embedded machine with USB-OTG and no operating system.

Like everything, the noticeable lag appears because the application-layer software is going through 15 layers of abstraction rather than talking directly to the input device, and this can become as complex and bloated as it wants.

'is_instance_valid' does what you are describing.
Maybe, I'm not sure. It's not even about RMS. Imagine an interview with Rob Pike and the interviewer saying, "Tom Howard did so many bad things I'm ashamed to share his name." It's just plain wrong. You don't do these kinds as a decent human being. When you are talking to your colleague - fine. Even if the interviewee specifically asked your opinions on a person you hate, a well-behaved person would answer "I'd prefer not to talk about this" or "we're not on good terms", something like that. You simply don't do thing like this one publicly.
You probably cop a fine

> That honor system didn't seem to work very well on Boeing.

This logic is how everything gets ruined.

You have a system which has caused air travel to have two orders of magnitude fewer fatalities than ground travel despite operating at much higher speeds, but the system doesn't prevent 100.0% of the evil.

Then the instance it didn't prevent is used to justify tightening the screws, even if that makes things less rather than more safe for the reasons discussed.
It can also do keystroke injection.
Sure, mate. Masks "strongly discouraged"? Where? As I recall, the advice on effective prevention measures evolved pretty rapidly through 2020 but at no point did any government organisation here in Australia ever "discourage" people from wearing masks. The strongest statement that I can remember to that effect was (paraphrased) "We don't actually know how effective at prevention mask-wearing is yet".

Australia has had ~1000 deaths from COVID-19 so far, the USA is well north of 600,000. Y'all enjoy that tasty, tasty freedom.
I was just about to say, especially if you are a manager, the way you communicate, the way people hear you, and the way you express yourself are really important and should be on the table for discussion.

Upspeak at the end of sentences, even if women are more likely to speak this way, sounds like questioning and undermines the authoritative tone that most managers are trying to convey. It's worth working on it and it's worth rewarding if your reports can eliminate it from their speech.
Epic’s fight against Apple and Google is about more than just app stores
As someone who was a major vendor for Walmart, they are vehemently opposed to doing any business using AWS. They believe that AWS would gladly steal their company secrets regarding logistics and use it to gain any advantage they could possibly glean from those secrets. The logistics company I worked for also disallowed the engineering department to use AWS and settled on Azure cloud after examining that and Google’s offering instead.
They’d have made more money with an IPO. 40m a year is peanuts.

There's maybe a more direct way of saying that:

"Hey khazhoux, maybe you /are/ sexist for thinking that a vocal trait sometimes associated with young women is a sign of amateurism."

The tricky thing about unconscious bias is of course that it's hard to know when you're carrying it. Nonetheless, I'm fairly confident that that speaking style would be considered un-authoritative by most people, and as a manager I see my job as how to help the individual whose career could be impacted by cultural norms both fair and unfair.
Downvoters: Way not to grok the context.

Given the content of GP's comment, I thought they (and everyone else) would appreciate the correction... That is, appreciate the humour of being corrected by a Swede.
It was confusing. I think she uses the story about the apartment to show later that Apple's not respecting her medical leave or requiring her to provide medical evidence that she could not come into the office post-COVID were unfounded?
Comparing the condition of Aussies in lockdown to being in prison is disingenuous and unhelpful to the debate.

For example, my partner goes for a daily walk along the foreshore of the beach. On the weekend she'll go for a bush hike. This is all within the strict Sydney lockdown laws because she's staying within a 5km radius of her home.

Moreover, their lockdown means that I can go about my life more or less uninterrupted, because their outbreak is limited from reaching me.

Unless youve written every single line of code in whatever industry you’re in on your own, I assure you, you’re using derived work of the companies in Faang or their devices or tools.

Your position on “Billionaires” is idiotic since it classifies people into a cohort that you deem must all be guilty purely by a measure of their wealth.

I’m making the point that if I were to classify you similarly with no regard for your individual contributions to society or how you choose to live your life, but instead by your association with companies I deem “evil”, you will protest the unfairness as you have.

So thank you for making my point for me, I’m glad you see the irony in how your viewpoint shifts when you’re on the receiving end of similar “judgement through grouping”

Yes if you're privileged enough to live in some of the more expensive suburbs in Sydney it's not a problem at all.

As an Aussie, is all pretty on-the-money. To elaborate further, the details of the AZ deal were blocked from a FOIA request by the government under national security grounds. Reeks of corruption is an understatement.

The Aussie population, by and large, really wants to be vaccinated. There's some who are a bit illogical about the perceived risks of AZ blood clots, but that's firmly on the media who played up that risk at a time when the risk of covid proper was minimised due to our success. This has created a subset of people who insist on waiting for Pfizer.

But that wouldn't be a problem if our government hadn't fucked up ordering vaccines so badly in the first place. Their work was truly atrocious.
Lol. It's not that bad. How can you claim a hiccup could bring down "such a fragile system" when the pandemic caused inconveniences and elevated prices. Sure you wouldn't able to buy toilet paper and meat disappeared from the shelves for a few months, but you have to remember we actually shut down the ENTIRE economy, and now we're back with a few things still out of whack.

These shortages are also primarily due to behavioral shifts which redundancy will not correct. Demand for suburban housing skyrocketed since no one wanted to live in the city. Services spending shifted to goods. Global travel halted. Everyone wanted to redo their flooring in the same 3 months. Everyone stopped buying cars, and now everyone wants one to get out of the house or for that new home they bought during the pandemic. I mean, you could pay up to hedge against all of these, but I'm pretty sure 40 years of hedging would have not been a wise investment.

Now I do agree with creating redundancies for critical goods as a hedge against geopolitical tensions, but that's a different story.
Sounds like one of those "VC congratulate themselves" twitters where a bot goes through and surfaces good ones.

I've always wondered why celebs like Elon tweet. Do people not have close friends? Or is it that when Elon tweets he only sees his friends respond? All I see are troll accounts responding and it makes me wonder why anyone busy bothers.
So give the phone app access to your location before you get in a car crash. This is presumably the factory default anyway, since the app comes preinstalled on the phone, or it asks you the first time you open it.

It doesn't need special permissions. You should be able to deny it your location if that's what you really want to do. It just needs good defaults.
I downloaded it and installed it, but could not try as it requires a signup with email!

1. The feature set on paper is impressive, but there should be a way of trying out the limited features in offline mode, without requiring a mandatory sign-up. So consider adding a demo mode both in the downloaded and web version.

2. Is there a way to host data locally?

I'm not sure that's the reason you're being downvoted. You could be being downvoted because the BBC article in the OP says that there was a New Yorker article and The FAA have said there is an investigation. You're concluding that the FAA is doing the investigation because of the New Yorker article. Another (perhaps simpler) explanation of the same facts is that the FAA were doing an investigation (either because of what the agents on the ground told them or because of the flight data or whatever) but it wasn't reported in the press (and the FAA didn't make a statement) until the New Yorker article came out.

Also you're probably further being downvoted because whining about being downvoted is a surefire way to get downvoted.
Totally 200% approved.

However I have the same problem with the Photos app on my personal phone. Apple lacks a proper way to store the private-private stash of late-night consumption vs daytime photos. I never show photos on my iPhone to friends, I never lend it to children, despite carefully triaging photos into albums of my holidays vs memes vs photos of administrative papers vs… porn. They shouldn’t have been in the same app to start with.

In a twist of irony, if Apple employees dogfooded their porn stash a little more with their work iPhone, maybe they would have actually come up with a “Photovault” feature, which doesn’t mix the photos in the photostream, nor uploads them to the cloud, which lead the photo scanning scandal of last week.
I think there is a place for it, though it was poorly justified in the article.

It depends on the type of programming you’re doing.

Algorithmics routinely does stuff that matches while loops and C-style for loops while loops, but doesn’t match iterator for loops very well.

In most parts of line-of-business sort of software development (and that’s the significant majority of software development, frankly, certainly a lot bigger than algorithmics), I’d say it’s rare for a while loop to be desirable: it should almost always be iterator-powered instead.

I think the C-style for loop thing is a particularly interesting aspect to this: I suspect most code that uses while loops where an iterator would not be appropriate would actually be at least as well-served by a C-style for loop. But Python made a deliberate decision not to have C-style for loops, because most uses of them are better-served by iteration. And so this nudging from while to for is really a perfectly natural extension of that.

Still, all things being considered, it’s not the sort of lint that I would ever turn on for myself or for code that I review, because I know when to use each.
You're getting down voted because more and more of the us is back to normal and is not experiencing these terrible outcomes. Kids are back in school. People back in offices. Clubs open, bars open, parties, etc. You come across as someone who feels themselves morally superior because they are living in a state of lockdown.

Like a holy ascetic hermit mocking the commoners.
Note that Chicken has a very interesting garbage-collection algorithm called "Cheney on the MTA". Basically, the stack is the heap, and no function ever returns. The compiler converts every program to continuation-passing style, where instead of a function returning, it tail-calls a continuation. When the stack exhausts its limit, the runtime longjmps back to a trampoline. Variables captured by the current continuation form the roots of a copying generational GC - the runtime traces every pointer from them and copies the live objects to the heap. The stack then unwinds, with every uncopied object being garbage that gets re-used the next time the stack grows.

It's pretty amazing that it works, particularly in relatively portable C. Also gets fairly decent performance, too: as Schemes go Chicken is one of the faster ones.

Linters tell you when your code doesn't respect certain rules. That's it. These rules may or may not lead to better programming, that depends on the rules themselves. I could build a linter that forbids all variable names longer than three characters. Would that make the code good? I doubt it. Sometimes the extra weight you notice on the scale is just muscle, and there's nothing to worry about.
Same in Poland before WW2. These greedy capitalists from late XIX/ early XX c. had felt necessity to build housing for their workers and nurseries for workers children.. What a waste of productive capital.

My grandfather had been worker / specialist and my family had been living in factory’s housing (free rent, electricity and coal provided). And grandfather had been earning a decent wage too. Some long forgotten small steelwork company…

(On the other hand my grandfather had no sense of work-life balance. He had been living for his factory. Even when retired he had been going to factory every day to check if he can help with something).

From my Moms side many relatives had been railwaymen and their families also lived in housing projects provided by Railway company..
