Companies have very little interest in investing in their employees personal education, because once they have learned the new stuff, they might just leave to another company and take their freshly acquired knowledge with them. It's the same reason why companies want to hire only experienced people even when the skills they require could be acquired by an otherwise competent person in a few months with proper training. In economic terms, it's a market failure; no-one wants to be the one paying (either in terms of money or employee working hours) for stuff that someone else can benefit from.
This (along with other posts from Vitalik) keep ignoring any solutions that don’t require blockchain. As an example, he writes:

> Certificates, for example cryptographic proofs that some particular individual is a resident of the city, could be done on-chain for added verifiability and security (eg. if such certificates are issued on-chain, it would become obvious if a large number of false certificates are issued). This can be used by all kinds of local-government-issued certificates.

He does point out latter how does could probably not be decentralised 100% due to legal requirements.

We already have a working solution for this problem in the PKI World - Cert Transparency. It works, is somewhat decentralised and has worked really well. Doesn’t need a blockchain.
The rule of force. Legitimated by violence. We don't share the same values. What you call legitimate I call factual.
The argument is that there is no inflation if people can't afford stuff, because they'll just be priced out and forced to not buy stuff anymore, thus their expenses will be stable. Duh. Inflation is not how much money people spend, inflation is ever increasing prices leading to people affording less and less stuff with their rapidly depreciating money.

It's always just a question of detecting these things and code them in.

It's like writing a game bot with Java robots and pixel detection. It may is inefficient, may takes longer to make than a network solution. But I have yet to be detected anywhere
Thank you for that post. Thats personally something I probably needed to hear and make a consideration to address what is, frankly, a negativity problem.
> Internet down - cannot do anything because you cannot even commit stuff with subversion.

That, in itself, I consider a poor argument. The obvious solution would be to ensure Internet does not go down.

However, as an important design precondition, it forces the builder of such a system to embrace asynchronous, eventual consistency etc. Which leads to a much better design, even if your internet is 99.9999% available.

I'm convinced the "offline" requirements are the reason merging, rebasing, etc are so well done in Git.
I don't think that's a fair comparison. If we look at this rationally, an incredibly small percentage of the population was and is at any risk of terrorist attacks. Any further attacks could have been prevented without the widespread erosion of privacy and giving incredible powers to the government and law enforcement.

Covid on the other hand put everyone at risk. Even if your individual chance of getting seriously sick is relatively low, (nearly)everyone is at risk of catching it and playing Russian roulette with the outcome. That alone warrants certain steps that limit personal freedom temporarily. I support those measures, as long as they are actually removed soon. Maybe I'm being naive, I don't know, but I certainly don't think comparing the terrorist threat to covid is correct or even appropriate.

Why can't gendered nouns stay as a cultural curiosity?

To me the Moon will always be feminine and the Sun masculine, even if they're not gendered in English. So what? People that are bothered by this duality tacitly imply that one of these gender is inherently worse than the other, and speaks volumes about their assumptions and views of the world.

So what if fruit is female and pencils are male? How is that misogyny? Are fruits "weak"? Do they have "emotions"? No, saying it's rooted in misogyny is cultural and historical revisionism pushing an agenda.

Gender activism tries to make society more moderate and inclusive by taking an extremist position: culture will eventually settle towards a more moderate, but still progressive view of the matter.

I expect society to be more inclusive after these efforts, but I honestly do not want nor hope these extremist views to actually take hold. They're just a means to an end. I accept them in the hope they make a better world, but viewed by themselves they're just posturing bullshit.

Maybe - Red Hat have been doing more and more serious development lately, and (surprisingly) Microsoft are also stepping up to the table. I'm talking about whole new GCs, compiler changes, etc.

Plus there's GraalVM. Graal and OpenJDK are actually totally separate teams inside Oracle, who compete with each other! They have different licensing, versioning etc models too. And they've written an entire JIT compiler from scratch, which other firms are also developing expertise in (Twitter, Spotify). So even if OpenJDK changed a lot, that wouldn't necessarily imply Graal would change too.
DNS gets cached all up and down the stack. Your OS, routers, application libraries and probably even your application code might cache it. Consul allows you to have it handle the caching, and be notified when a service goes away so it won’t return that address to your application.
This kind of thing terrifies me when I see it in in code -- particularly when it's something like `$VAR -flags` -- because my first thought is always

As an author of an alternative shell myself, I purposely removed this ability for that reason.
I'm currently recovering from post-1st dose pericarditis. In my case, it was mild (4mm) and localized (posterior wall), but I wasn't able to walk normally for a week.

That's what motivated me to post for the first time here.

For a technology that was supposedly developed over twenty years, we don't know the mechanism that produces these outcomes. We don't even know if it's an auto-immune mechanism, or if the spike protein is being expressed in other body parts than the injection site (seriously! the only data I found comes from a rat study in the Japanese approval documentation, and this data is being expressly discredited in the media). The FDA just started a study of the long term effects.

The cardiologist I saw advised me, unsolicited, to get the second dose as we don't have evidence of repeated harm. Given the public health advisory for people in my case, we're supposed to defer the second dose. Then, how are we even supposed to know about 2nd dose effects? How was this doctor's advice serious?

At the same time, we're dealing with an emergency, and in emergencies, corners get cut as we're administering a prompt response. We need to acknowledge that.
Long-term rates are not the same thing as rates in the long run. In the short run, monetary policy can create an imbalance and move the real rate of interest temporarily, but the real rate will adjust to its natural level as markets return to equilibrium, in the medium term. This is known as the Fisher hypothesis.

> really just a matter of making the right investments

Right. But the person deciding on those investments is a product owner who's looking to release new features because that's what management wants. At least that's my experience more often than not.

My guess is that the bias might be the opposite. Maybe these companies become more popular because they are reliable and have the mindset to focus on that.
Another publishing anecdote for the thread:

One of the big publishers asked me to write a chapter of a bioengineering textbook. Compensation? Digital access to the book for 12 months.

the thing can even provide dns... but it has fancy interfaces and an http endpoint. Technically you could do everything with dns just fine.

Even if consul provides some sort of liveness (due to latency and concurrency it means little), I can't think of a usable case where the clients won't have retries and ability to maintain multiple open sockets, etc.

One point to add to the XKCD - driving an automatic transmission car is "steering wheel, gas pedal, break".

Most people don't even realize that there are micro explosions there around 2k times per minute let alone rest of the magic that happens in a modern car.

No one reads car manual and probably no one uses most of options in their cars. But still it is such a useful tool that many cannot live without one just like nowadays devs cannot live without GIT.

So I think it is perfectly fine to use only couple commands and don't even think about distributed graph and then adjust/learn when you need to understand more.
I have been tracking my household expenses religiously for years. Down to how much we spend on milk each year, or how many boxes of breakfast cereal we go through. And without changing habits (I worked from home previously) or spending any differently for most of 2020 I saw a slight upward tick that was more than I would expect for previous years, about a 10% increase across the board in terms of energy, health care costs, food costs. In 2021 that upward tick turned in to way more than just a tick.

Food habits haven't changed, nor have quantities. I shop at a mixture of Food4Less, Ralphas, Gelsons and a few small items at Whole Foods, but food expenditure has increased by 30% to 40% since start of 2020. Household energy usage has remained the same, but somehow the price is 20%+ higher than at the start of 2020. Monthly health insurance costs have increased by 17.1%

A gallon of milk or a carton of eggs is about where it has been for the past three or four years, because a gallon of milk or a carton of eggs doesn't go up by 3 cents each month, it jumps by a dollar once every three years. Low-end commodities like that tend to stay artificially deflated for a while. I am expecting milk, eggs, and other basics to jump by a dollar or two in the very near future.

I am just a single data point, but something seems "off" with all officially reported statistics. Something isn't being captured somewhere.

What does it actually do? What is the point of a fake display that doesn't exist?
Generally you need them even when running in a "Cloud" of some description. Namely because they provide distributed locking primitives at a speed that can't be matched by any other mechanism.

If you only need service discovery you can probably get away with whatever you platform provides (EC2 API, k8s API, hell DNS works, etc), similarly if you only need slow master election there are alternatives there too (DynamoDB w/conditional writes, k8s configmap).

However for what these systems do best, i.e very high performance distributed locking and consistent metadata with fast reads w/watches and relative fast writes there is no replacement. You either need one of ZK/etcd/consul/something else based on raft/paxos/zab.

EDIT: I realize now you might be talking about Nomad/Vault also.

So in this case I think they are running their own DCs on bare metal and they opted for Nomad over k8s. Vault is somewhat special because it has capabilities no other secrets system does out of the box, specifically it has integrations to create short-lived credentials on the fly for clients - so called dynamic secrets have many advantages and is why services like AWS STS are so popular (the magic sauce behind AssumeRole).
I haven't found the sanitzer builds to be particularly slow. You mean running the test suite? Even that it wasn't particularly bad.

It is the system but I have yet to find anyone that understands the process of how they do it. I do because I experienced it. From the aspect of them stealing my patent. They do not purchase low-quality patents it is far different. It is time to expose the methods they use and the assistance they get from the examiners. From day one of the application they do an assignment and a Provisional Application that goes expired. Attorney's from different offices use same customer number that go to a central office the inventor is unaware of. Then an Attorney from that office files a POA and Oath to a foreign priority Application and in my case DECEASED.

So it varies depending on your teams experience with ZK and/or if you are using some sort of community managed deployment primitive that has sensible defaults baked in.

On the hardware side, I think delta-sigma ADCs [1] might solve the same problem. They only sample 1-bit at a time, but they do so at a much faster rate than conventional ADCs.

I found Ryanair one of the more friendly ones to scrape, albeit for my own personal project. When you query for flights, they make a GET request with a JSON object in response, complete with flight times and prices.

It all started with neomorphic design, the first time I saw it I liked it a lot(and like you, I was tired of flat design), but alone it does still has its flatness, so I figured out that action elements and inputs can become the less flat elements of this design, so there you have it, neomorphism everywhere :)

There are 2 main drawbacks, the first is about space, which neomorphic design requires to achieve its effect of deepness the second is about layering, the more UI layers you stack up the less the deepness effect is achieved(kind of good I guess because it does force you think of a simple UI/UX)

I think I'll write a blog post about it soon on my blog at blog.thepra.dev
Acta Vertebrata closed exactly for this
Their advisory is well-written and explains the problem well. The example code they use:

if access_level != "user" { // Check if admin

opens up a whole can of worms though. You don't need cunning invisible control codes to break that line, you could just replace any of the letters in 'user' with a different, but almost-identical looking unicode symbol and you'd still have an exploit. Even better, this would be a completely deniable attack ("oops, I must have accidentally pressed alt-R while typing that letter" excuse) - whereas explaining away why you checked in some magical RTL/LTR encodings and hacked up a comment is impossible. Plus, it would render well in far more apps, terminals, command line programs, etc etc
Old prediction from 2013:

There will be no "collapse" the way some of these people think of it. It's not going to be like the movie "Dawn of the Dead" or whatever where one day suddenly shit hits the fan and prices skyrocket and everyone begins to riot and the SS comes marching down the street to kill everyone. There will be no "happening". It's far more insidious than that. Read the poem "The Hollow Men" by TS ELiot and you'll understand.

You'll just notice that every day simple things will become a little more expensive. Everyone's homes and apartments will start to get smaller. your work hours will get longer, but your pay will decrease. You'll see family and friends less, and find that in time you care less about them. Every day you'll find yourself lowering your standards for everything: work, food, relationships, etc. Job security will no longer exist as a concept. You'll notice houses and apartments shrinking. People will start hanging on clothing longer and longer. Less people will get married, even less will have children. People will engross themselves in technological distractions and fantasy while never truly experiencing the real world.

Whatever dream people used to have about what their lives were going to be will become for them a distant memory. The only thing left for them will be the reality of their debt and their poverty. And every minute of every day they will be told: "You are stupid, ugly and weak, but together we are free, prosperous and safe."

That is the collapse. The reduction of the American man into a feudal serf, incapable of feeling love or hate, incapable of seeing the pitiful nature of his situation for what it is or recognizing his own self worth.

If the first World Trade Center attack in 1993 would have been more successful, it could have killed thousands of people - the bomb was intended to topple Tower 1 into Tower 2, bringing both down.[1] Luckily, it only ended up killing 6 and injuring 1000.

Does anyone actually do that in a production code?

I myself am not native English speaker and use unicode when writing in my mother tongue, but in 20+ years of programming I've never seen anyone using non-ascii chars in their professionally written code? Of course, you use the language in localization files, and perhaps in comments occasionally - especially in TODO stuff that's not meant to be permanent - but not in the actual code, like e.g. for a variable or function names.

I'd actually consider it a bad idea, as it limits significantly who can manage that code in the future.

Don't forget to count the contractors - although the purpose of contracting out all the really low-pay stuff is to obscure the question of whether they're even your employees at all.
I do too, and it's fine as long as you (a) have a relatively small number of operators, and (b) use one language, or several that have conforming precedence.

Does "<<" in C have the same precedence as "shl" in Pascal? How does it compare to multiplication, of which it is (essentially) a specialization? Does a<b<c in C mean what it does in Math? What about Python?

When I learned APL (and J and K), the first instinctive response to the lack of operator precedence was wtf? -- all same precedence, all "right associative" / "right to left" / "left of right" / "long right scope" (same meaning, different terms).

But after using it for a day, I realized all the other programming languages have it wrong. Math notation gets a pass because you handwrite it, so a set of rules that minimizes writing does make sense. Not so for programming languages.

APL/J/K have tens, perhaps even a hundred, operators -- so there isn't really any other practical way. But it just works so well, that it puts the Algol/C/Pascal decision to copy math in an unfavorable light.
