I mean, was he proven wrong? How many people face food and water insecurity daily (~2 billion and ~3 billion, respectively)? Life is not binary, it is a spectrum of quality of life, and hope is not a strategy. The damage we’ve done is clear (see my citations above), as is what we’d do on our way from 7.4 billion to 11 billion people (by 2100).

Population and resource contention are inherently linked.
50,000 million? Yes, that's broader economy chump change. But, toss it in a suit case, move it off shore, and the magnitude increases (especially if it's a corruption tool). I think the question is: how does the current % size up historically? (I wasn't able to read the whole article.)
5G was such a crock of shit. It just drains the battery faster as far as I can tell. Maybe it’s good for hotspotting. But LTE was pretty good for my average mobile needs.

I don't change anything about myself when I interview for jobs. I can't even fathom why I would, in this industry (or really any not customer-facing industry, really).

They saw my weird resume - it always gets a comment. It was revised and edited under direction from a retired entrepreneur and CEO who explained how employee employer and employee/employer/HR/hiring managers interactions work "in real life".

They did a phone interview. They called me in. The only times I get the "thanks for interviewing, but" calls is when the recruiter or headhunter obfuscated the job description to prevent poaching and/or losing their commission/bonus and I had literally no idea about any of their stack/business/whatever.

I could just be lucky, I guess, not having to lie or embellish or present a facade.

Neat :) Bafang is one of the larger suppliers. Keep an eye out on the temperature of the FETs in your motor controller, that tends to be the weak point for more powerful motors, 750W is a lot of power for an e-bike, mine only has 350 but it is 'street legal' and insured, if I would hack that it would become a liability. Since I have an e-bike my car has hardly moved.

Do you have a link for your bike? Mine is a Riese & Mueller 'Charger', a 2016 model.

The battery pack is quite anemic (500 Wh), so I'm building a much larger one, I do 130 Km round trips with some regularity (twice per week) and it takes two of those fully charged to fully discharged; and then recharged at the destination which is effectively murdering them, hence the need for a larger battery. A single pack has about 35 Km range. I want to be able to do the trip one-way on 80% full to 20%, which I've worked out to about 1000 Wh plus some reserve. The pack will likely be 160 cells, which is pretty heavy for an e-bike, but the frame has enough room for this.

Currently figuring out how to hook it all up and how to fool the controller in the motor to believe that my oversized battery is a genuine Bosch product without letting out the magic smoke from the toy level balancing unit in the BMS.

A WAF is obviously not a control designed to be a full-scale replacement for good input validation and development best practices. So yes, its inherent that there are fundamental weaknesses to WAFs.

However, there are still benefits. You deploy a WAF as part of a defense in depth strategy, with one of the best use-cases being situations where you have legacy web systems that nobody is maintaining. Additionally, you can get TLS upscaling, easy HTTP rewrite capabilities, DDoS protection, and other granular controls with some SaaS offerings. So while it's true that a WAF won't stop a determined attacker, there are certainly benefits to operating them, particularly in large enterprise environments.

I could spend that $166 better than how it is being used now, so can I have mine back?
I’ve been in a leadership position for smaller consolidation projects / standardization projects outside of DoD, but pretty large.

The issue is all answers are correct. A lot of the differences between the “standard” and whatever is out there come down to politics - whatever is being done somewhere isn’t necessarily there by design, it’s just there.

Usually, 80% of problems are solved by the big consolidation play. The 20% is the problem, because those are either complex technical problems or intractable political problems. Nobody can get a budget justified to spend more money on 20% of the environment, and the the people running the consolidation project push until they declare victory and get promoted.
I live in Venezuela and we've had forex controls for 2 decades now.

Our currency has also depreciated massively over the years to the point of being useless.

We've unofficially dollarized a lot of cash operations so I bet a bunch of it is here.

Cuba and Argentina have similar forex controls.

This is probably the case all over the world.

> No, you're not there yet: doing timeseries with timescale is way riskier than with clickhouse, which is both a bit older (not much) and more mature (much more), while also being more widely used

This is not true at all, and we explain why in the post:

1. TimescaleDB's reliability is PostgreSQL's reliability. ClickHouse has a lot of advantages, but "more reliable than PostgreSQL" is not one of them.

From the post:

PostgreSQL has the benefit for 20+ years of development and usage, which has resulted in not just a reliable database, but also a broad spectrum of rigorously tested tools: streaming replication for high availability and read-only replicas, pg_dump and pg_recovery for full database snapshots, pg_basebackup and log shipping / streaming for incremental backups and arbitrary point-in-time recovery, pgBackrest or WAL-E for continuous archiving to cloud storage, and robust COPY FROM and COPY TO tools for quickly importing/exporting data with a variety of formats. This enables PostgreSQL to offer a greater “peace of mind” - because all of the skeletons in the closet have already been found (and addressed).

2. ClickHouse, being a newer database, still has several "gotchas" with reliability: e.g., No data consistency in backups (because of its lack of support for transactions and asynchronous data modification)

From the post:

One last aspect to consider as part of the ClickHouse architecture and its lack of support for transactions is that there is no data consistency in backups. As we've already shown, all data modification (even sharding across a cluster) is asynchronous, therefore the only way to ensure a consistent backup would be to stop all writes to the database and then make a backup. Data recovery struggles with the same limitation.

The lack of transactions and data consistency also affects other features like materialized views because the server can't atomically update multiple tables at once. If something breaks during a multi-part insert to a table with materialized views, the end result is an inconsistent state of your data.

Now this trade-off - accepting less reliability for faster OLAP queries - may be fine with you. And that's OK. But stating that ClickHouse is more reliable than PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB is just not true.
Think 'hospital', certified power, military, off-shore (vessels, platforms, emergency power and so on).

For a system that is bullet proof and where there are very strict requirements it makes sense to spend that money, for your homebrew system it likely doesn't, but you can pick up their inverters for a good discount at the various surplus auction sites with some regularity and that's the best of both worlds: great quality at a reasonable price.

I dont think either of those is any great option but government has really damaged our banking system.

Science Has Entered a New Era of Alchemy. Good
As recently as 2018, it was actually working really well (for agencies it rolled out to). Without going into too much specifics, the technical challenges were more or less solved. There were some messy issues to work through still, but there are institutional and even practical barriers that needed to be overcome. When DNI Clapper left/after the administration change, ICITE presumably lost its champion(s) and new political appointees wanted to make their mark. Such is life inside the beltway, for better or worse.

Edit: slight edit - I will say the need for ICITE in its original conceived form has diminished somewhat as services have moved to shared cloud services. It’s not all doom and gloom.
For me, a week off work combined with the following:

1. Seeing my GP and going back on antidepressant medication (burnout may be a symptom of an underlying condition).

2. Taking up the offer of set of six free counselling sessions offered by my state.

3. Continuing to apply my own personal coping mechanisms (e.g. mild exercise, adequate sleep).

4. Recognising that burnout / depressive feelings / anxiety can sometimes re-occur for a while despite your best efforts and the above practices, and that is OK.

In my opinion, it's important to acknowledge that relying on just one of these points exclusively may not be enough for you to stave off burnout. My mistake was thinking there was a silver bullet, and tackling that would be enough to 'fix' myself. Instead, a multi-pronged, long-term plan was necessary for me.

I wish you all the best :)

> That was my immediate impression of his music. It feels strangely cold and extremely "produced",

Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins is an example of someone who has both the talent and the taste for making great music in my opinion. There's a really old video of him shredding like a madman [1] completely off the dome which shows he has very good command of his guitar. He's not in the same sphere as Jacob Collier mind you but here me out. If you compare that video with the music he wrote in the pumpkins, it is very restrained. He knew when to exercise the full range of his skills and when to dial it back. Having learned a lot of pumpkins songs on guitar, it is clear to me that he favoured what sounded better and was more impactful over what appeared skillful.

There's another video of him in 2012 [2] where he talks about influential music coming from the internet and people in their desktop studios, not from guys with guitars trying to make it big. Beyond his talent he had a very keen eye for how music was evolving. Having talent is one thing, being able to contextualise your work, and others work accurately in the arena of the world is a quality that very few people possess and in my opinion is required for producing truly influential and impactful work.

> But they do take responsibility and are open to scrutiny by their peers when they actually do wrong. In this sense, it's impossible to be a CEO making profit decisions (where loss of life is a balance sheet issue), and maintain the scruples of an engineer at the same time.

I don't know what you're saying. Engineers absolutely have been involved in everything from turning a blind eye to problems, shirking responsibility, and the normalization of deviance, all the way to deliberate coverups and crimes.

You are naive about engineers. They're people pretty much like everybody else.
It must be the drivers responsibility, surely? As the captain of the vehicle, you are responsible for its safety via the actions you (or it) takes. (Mechanical/electrical failure is of course different). If you don’t like this, don’t engage the system.
Billions of new banknotes are printed every day. Why does nobody care?
"newly identified requirements" is the most predictable possible thing in DoD software writing though, as it is in other industries. This is why it is so important to reduce the amount of time it takes to go from identifying requirements to shipping software to product that starts to meet those requirements, as pointed out by the Defense Innovation Board's Software Acquisition Practices report: https://media.defense.gov/2019/May/01/2002126690/-1/-1/0/SWA...
The Roam reddit team banned the guy who runs RoamStack [1] (who apparently hangs out on their Reddit answering questions a bunch?) for saying that a new policy announcement (that they later deleted) sounded concerning [2]. I believe they later rescinded the ban once they realized who he was.

So I think it's slightly more complicated than that, unfortunately.

100% agree. It's like when you call into phone support and the person on the other end obviously can see your plaintext password.

I'm working with IP security cameras, and the ONVIF standards [1] actually mandate Digest. I own cameras that only support HTTP Digest Authentication for RTSP. I'd tell the ONVIF folks this is dumb, but I don't want to pay $10,000/year for that privilege. [2] The only saving grace is that they aren't "real user" passwords, and you can isolate the cameras to a network segment where only the NVR can talk to them and vice versa. (And the NVR needs to keep the plaintext password anyway.)

>the trouble with intelligence, they say, is that it's mostly inborn. The evidence for this seems fairly convincing, especially considering that most of us don't want it to be true, and the evidence thus has to face a pretty stiff headwind.

I think this is very well put.

Could be even more trouble with bright illumination if it turns out to be inborn to different degrees too.

Then if you need both in excess the odds get pretty slim for a dual strike between such outliers.

I'm not sure if anyone else experiences this but I really can't process all the information in real time. Especially for deeply technical topics, I need a lot of time to think and reflect on what people say, and then my clarifying questions come to mind. I find this is really hard for conversations because it seems like I don't instantly have any questions, but in reality I need time to think about it myself. Maybe that means that writing is a better form of communication for me.

At Pumping Station One in Chicago, I learned a golden rule:

Ideas aren't worth shit.

I'm a veritable fountain of ideas, but that doesn't mean squat. Only instantiated ideas, whose value is successfully communicated to others stand a chance of impact in the world.

Ideas spring from mapping the world (packers need not apply), and noticing things on the newly connected edges of the map. Those ideas then need to be brought into the real world with luck, preparedness, persistence in some mix.

Then you need communication skills and people skills to communicated the ideas and tools you've created to others, to get them to invest their time and effort and start adoption.

Being smart helps, but it's noticing the connections, and having a large set of tools to build on any ideas that are the key piece here. You need some smarts, curiosity, persistence, luck, people skills and a network once you've done the work.

I think that's because the only way to see puts() return value after calling printf is in this weird situation. If you actually assign the return value somewhere and read it, the compiler can't replace it with puts and you'll get the return value you expect. But in this case the compiler is tricked into exposing that it's really calling puts().
