The CPU is rarely used up to 100% because most code fails to utilize several cores efficiently.

OTOH a service loading the single core with the main thread is a frequent sight :( Interpreted languages like Python can easily spend 30% of time just on the deserialization overhead, converting the data from a DB into a result set, and then into ORM instances.
The interview says they paid someone for collecting signatures, not forging them. Of course at the price of $5 that might have been implicit at the time.

No value whatever. The Native Americans, the Soviets, the Kurds, the African-Americans, the Europeans, the Vietnamese, the Russians, the Chinese, the South Americans, etc, etc, etc. can all point to broken promises, reneged agreements, and straight-out lies.

Britain has been notorious over many centuries as "Perfidious Albion" (or "Lying Pale-Skinned People"). It looks like the US is intent on taking that invidious label as its own "Lying White Man", away from the British.

There's a false dichotomy here.

Local control does not have to imply local funding.

The funding system can migrate to the state level (I find it hard to imagine that the states would agree to an explicit federal level funding system). The control (i.e. how the money gets spent) can remain (substantially) local.

What is objectionable about the current US version of "local based education" is that the funding for it depends to a very large extent on local property taxes. Have the misfortune to be a school student in a poor area, and you will probably get a worse education than someone with the good fortune to be a student in a wealthy area.

Is this obvious? I can't imagine what kinds of attributes you're talking about. I think if they were significant ones (courageousness, curiosity, etc) they would probably have really profound political effects you don't see in reality.
Well.. you can play cacheline ping pong between cores today! No going to DRAM, straight from core to core.

But I'm curious what sort of algorithm you have in mind that needs to spend a lot of time moving data between cores. Maybe some sort of algorithm that needs to alternate short steps of aggregating intermediate data and re-distributing the result to every core, in a loop?

So, the shape of the problem that would fit this solution is not obvious to me :)

Embarassingly parallel algorithms are the ideal. The less communication, the less Amdhal's tax costs you.
I greatly respect partially authenticated links when I'm emailed about service issues. The same would apply if I wasn't recently authenticated (using a cookie from more than a day ago).

Provide read-only access then enforce auth only when mandatory for write permission. Ideally verify my hardware 2FA or a security code generator (but not sms).
> No no, I understand. It is callbacks. Or some fancy syntax that creates and registers a closure implicitly. But technically it's just a callback - the library calls back into the user code, synchronously. The syntax was never the problem, it's more like this syntax sugar (or in the case of LISP, let's call it semantic sugar) is making it way too easy to do something complicated like this. My strong opinion is that this is not a good idea to do.

This is essentially how traditional exceptions work, it's just that it also happens to include a non-local transfer of control first. Every place an exception is raised is an additional surface to the API.

> RPC is bad, it's an extremely leaky abstraction (network requests pretending to be synchronous function calls). Maybe that's ok for scripts, or in a compute cluster that can guarantee high availability and low latency, but it's nonsensical for general programming (another reason for slowness and clunkiness of so much software).

Perhaps this is overfocusing on my example? File system access, database requests, memory allocation, are other examples of things that can fail that have multiple plausible ways of handling the failure, and separating the implementation of handing the failure from the choice of how to handle the failure can be useful.

[edit]

I mostly agree with you on RPC; I picked that example specifically because it has the most non-local exceptional situations of things I could think of on the spot.

Very true, I shy away from that specifically because it starts veering into pure bodybuilding practice — the rationale for that leads to the conclusion of avoiding hydrating as much as possible (which sounds silly, but I saw it with a couple clients, and am not ashamed to admit I get a little giddy when I realize I'll claim a pound back the next morning weigh-in when i realize I'm dehydrated at night)
Combined with a CDN and you can do a lot more, I like to think in terms of origin requests rather than raw req/s. The problem I have is getting people to really understand how caching works at the cdn and browser layers and design their frontends and backend responses around that. There is also lot you can do with edge compute to clean the incoming requests before the CDN evaluates them to increase cache hits. Even if you are trying to give a "real time" view of data, caching it for even a second and allowing stale data to be served while it is updating can reduce origin requests significantly. I've seen people hammer sites hundreds of times a second looking for changes that only happen once every fifteen seconds or once per minute - the best thing you can do for yourself is handle all those requests at the CDN level (eventually you'll do log analysis and see the activity and can take other measures, but in the mean time don't let all of those requests go to the origin). Your CDN is probably giving you better rates for network egress then Amazon or Google anyway - the later are more focused on incentivizing you to use their ecosystem exclusively by penalizing you for sending data "outside". Cheap VPS hosts discourage you exceeding your bandwidth allocation because they are overselling their capacity and heavy usage upsets that - so again you want to shift as much as you can to your CDN.

It's not.

My point isn't that it's impressive in some ultra-tuned performance sense. It's that doing pretty mundane things on pretty basic servers is still very fast compare with a) the past, or b) what a lot of developers are used to professionally. That's why it is interesting to the crowd here.

I don't think you can get damages for what might happen in the future, only for real damages and probably only this activist that had his IP disclosed can prove damages.

Probably the best you could hope for would be to get out of a long term contract "I paid for a 2 year term based on promises that weren't true"

Otherwise, your best recourse to prevent your IP from being disclosed in the future is to find a provider that won't disclose it under any circumstances (probably not possible), or hide your IP yourself.
If you're paying Google for their product, and you have support, the solution is to speak to their support team, and mention this. Failing that, you should contact your TAM. Even if Google's engineers looked at the bug, for all they know you're some random person who hasn't paid for support or whatever else.

I've reported multiple bugs with different vendors, and any time it doesn't get triaged within a week, I contact their support and mention it. It usually gets triaged pretty quick. This entirely depends on the vendor but more often than not it works.

Seems like a great deal for Ford. He started at Ford out of school and stayed for six years. He then spent a decent amount of time in high profile roles at Segway, Tesla, Apple (twice!) and is now back at Ford.

computers and network devices, by their very nature, log all kinds of shit.

you actually have to go in and disable default logging in applications and OS level functions in order to make a system NOT log something.

a court is just compelling them to turn it back on or more specifically, turn it on as it may apply to a singular user.

and yes, if you operate some place - you have to comply with its laws. there's no technical way around this unless you're going full darknet.
My team has accessibility requirements for things like this. We still use red/green, but we also have a rule that color can't be the only indicator of some kind of state. So we'll make a green check or a red X (along with a variety of other accessibility hints and navigation models) so that you can get the information regardless of your abilities.

And I think this distinction is important. We're not going to take away the color coding that the vast majority of people can easily recognize just because a subset of the population can't, but we are going to make sure that the group that can't has alternatives available so they aren't stuck.

> point out how they’re holding back the team to the other people on the team (ie talk shit)

It is terrifying to think that you are in any kind of leadership position. I instantly lose respect for anyone who "talks shit" about team members, especially leaders. If I found out anyone was talking shit, especially someone in a leadership position in my company I would fire them on the spot. Well, I would first ask to speak privately so that they could still have the dignity they were denying their former team.

There are no bad teams, there are only bad leaders.

Don't feel bad - Fallout 3 (atleast from Steam) no longer works on Windows 10 either! Installed it the other day, googled after it failed to launch, and saw there's a few community efforts and hacks you can try to get it up and running. I gave up.
I completed Fallout 3 a few months ago on Ubuntu 20 under Proton (and Fallout: New Vegas). Try using Lutris's implementation of wine ± proton -- my GOG copy "just worked", much to my surprise. Including the mods, and mod managers!

If you continue to have trouble, drop me an email and I'll give you my configuration.

I very much second your sentiment about proton being "good enough". It's amazing! I have a less than stellar GPU -- a Radeon 570 -- and haven't found a single game that I can't play on 'ultra' settings at 1080p, including the in-development BG3.

It's such a shame too. Windows 10 is a great modern OS that everyone expected to last and be built upon, but they just had to go and push out a new "modernized" version and fill it up with ads.

I wonder what you pay to be in the Windows 10 Pro start menu and if it's really worth selling out their professional userbase.
The situation with SMPTS and port 465 is a fun one. By my understanding, at present, implicit TLS for submission isn't standard. Now, a lot of mail server operators listen on port 465 for SMTPS anyway, because very breifly, that was the standard port for such. But there are other operators who are stickler for the letter of the standard, and when asked to support SMTPS on port 465, respond with "That's not standard. STARTTLS on 587 is. Use STARTTLS." I will confess to having been one of those operators in the past. Reflecting, I suspect that was at least partly because in insisting on strict standard compliance, I cut down on the amount of spam I had to deal with (you would be amazed at the sheer volume of poorly coded bots that imediately throw a LOGIN or MESSAGE FROM at you upon establishing a connection, not even bothering to forge a HELO or EHLO).

I totally support RFC 8314's attempt to standardize existing practice, and get port 465 officialy recognized. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8314 Once done, what is "standard" will no longer be an excuse. Though, updating out-of-support middleboxen will probably still take a while.
No, no individual or group consciously decided how races should be divided, that happened naturally. What you're saying its that acknowledging the divide exists is racist, which is the classic "color blind" excuse.
Software has become slower and less efficient because we have faster hardware to run it on and nobody's asking for the software to get more efficient. Back in the day you had inefficient, expensive hardware with limited software. There was demand to make software as performant as possible so it didn't cost you ten grand to serve a popular website. But now you can load up on hardware for pennies on what it used to cost. 16 cores? Sure! 32 gigs of ram? No sweat. Software can now be bloated and slow and it won't break the bank. On top of that, we now have free CDNs, free TLS certs, even free cloud hosting, and domains are a couple bucks. You can serve traffic for free today that would have cost $50K 15 years ago.

Sometimes there's also a misunderstanding of metrics that leads devs to not think about performance tuning. Like, "4.2M requests a day" is clearly incorrect at this 50rps benchmark. Traffic is not linear, it's bursty. You will never serve 50rps of human traffic steadily for 24 hours. If you're serving 4.2M requests per day, 90% of it will be in a 12 hour window, peaking at whenever people have lunch or get off work, with a short steep climb leading to a longer tail. So to not crash your site at peak visitorship, you realistically need to handle 300+ rps in order to achieve 4.2M requests per day. (But also that's requests per second... if under load it takes 5 seconds to load your site, you can still serve a larger amount of traffic, it's just slower... so a different benchmark is also "how many requests before the server literally falls over")
Hm, that's very interesting, thanks. I think I'm approaching this from a physics perspective, where units and dimensional analysis are very important, and there's a very specific formalism and philosophy involved. For example, dimensionless quantities are deeply meaningful -- see the Buckingham pi theorem for example.

On the other hand, I think this library seems very pragmatic: It doesn't match my "rigorous" ideas about units but that's fine because it's actually trying to do something else.

As I understand it, the idea is that I can't /necessarily/ give a quantity of "250 mm" to a function that expects a length because, for example, the quantity might be of category "rod length" and the function expects a "cylinder width". The /units/ match, but the /category/ does not.

That's very interesting and I see why it's useful. It strikes me as trying to be something like a type system, with pre-defined types for physical units that you "subclass" or "parameterize". I think this is something I will think about quite a bit more.

I should also thank you because (over) thinking about this has already led me to discover the idea of "parametric units":
