Yes it is. If you do it right, it will not only improve your security but also your reliability as well as scalability. It forces you to think about you business processes and documentation. This helps by onboarding new employees as well as bringing structure to existing. In addition, you gain stability to you enterprise.

But, this does not come for free. You have to invest time and Money and most companies don't understand the importance of not copy and pasting existing SOP and other documents.
Your salary is a factor of what you are bringing as added value to a company.

If you are more Business focus, choose the managing path, if you are more knowledge focus, choose the professional path.

Somehow reading this article really made me think of lisp and some old jane street and k lang articles here on hn over the years. I wonder if it’s the composability or the centralization?
It will happen slowly, through raising the price of individual vehicles (you can already see the trend with electric vehicles - there are almost no affordable sub $30k cars), raising the price of insuring a human-driven vehicle, etc.

It won't happen overnight, and probably take anywhere between 30-50 years, but it's definitely possible in the long term.
Compared to one major IB bank Python system, this is all extremely clean and neat.

Consider a Python API that is a thin wrapper on COM calls intended to be used from Excel. Want to request some data? Fill in a 2D virtual Excel table. Want to pull some data? Query it and parse a text-dump of a table excerpt (remembering to parse #NA! Etc as nans). Want to automate a job? Enter it as a new row to a global spreadsheet. And for Gods sake, do NOT edit any of the other rows, lest the whole house go down in flames!!!
> Maybe CLI, GUI with mouse or touch screens are all not the ideal interfaces at all, maybe the kid will imagine something else altogether, who knows. Why limit their perspective into a box?

Being exposed to old/existing ideas doesn’t stop people from coming up with new or improved ideas - quite the contrary, it serves as a potential inspiration upon which one can create a better product. That’s not putting perspectives in a box, that’s just how innovation works - you build off of and improve other people’s work in an incremental fashion.
I love the place I work. It's got a Glassdoor rating of 4.8 [1], probably the highest I've ever seen for a company of its size. There's this theme of working hard that crops up there. The average person who makes it past the culture filter is actually grateful to be able to work that hard; in most other places, a workaholic trait is exploited. Whereas here, we're literally asked to take more breaks, stop thinking of work at home, stop working weekends, and the vacation policies are there to respect the people putting in incredibly hard work. They're also proactive in helping people deal with mental health issues.

But when all is well, there's really nothing to be talkative about. You just find a place that resonates at your frequency. I tried to post about it in this thread, but you're right, the feeling is pretty meh. Nobody wants to hear good stuff. Whereas I've complained a lot about bad companies in the past.

Given that this is an article about a YouTube video of a town hall, and that no final written declaration is available yet from the city, the only way to clear up everyone’s confusion here would be to watch the linked YouTube video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEXDdYKGee4

I haven’t done so, but I encourage anyone who does to report their findings with time index markers — and to watch the entire video, or read the entire transcript, rather than skimming and pull-quoting without context.
For me it's the exact opposite. I can listen to classical music while I code, but certainly not to songs. Even unconsciously listening to spoken words completely destroys my focus.
The problem with that theory is that auto manufacturers face declining average costs and so are incentivized to produce more cars and sell them for a lower unit price.

This is why the only source of auto inflation is by adding more features to the car. I don't see any reason why this would change in the future.

For EVs, wait until cheap Chinese EVs flood the US market.
Very cool! It can be very useful in an educational environment, especially in universities
> Commercial ovens inject steam for the same purpose, but you can't do that at home. Dutch oven apparently simulates the same effect.

At least in the UK, consumer ovens are available (starting at the low-mid end) with water reservoirs and a steam function.

But you don't need that, if you don't have a casserole (aka 'Dutch oven') you can put a tray over the bread, and a container of water underneath. Remove them when you'd remove the casserole lid.

I bake a loaf slightly more often than weekly, and do this occasionally because my casserole isn't large enough, and usually squashes the top flat.
Just crazy enough to work. Hydrogen doesn't autoignite till 500 degrees celsius, while your average hot air balloon only heats gas to 100 degrees.

You'd want to be damn sure about the reliability of your thermocontroller though.
Doesn't seem that strange compared to K[1] or Q[2], which are used by Wall Street banks. K encourages you to use single-letter variables and bunch your code up as tight as possible into long lines.

The whole point of 2FA is that 2 devices need to be compromised - your phone AND your computer. With desktop Authy only one device - your computer - needs to be compromised.
Most of us, I think. I tried to introduce my daughter to programming two years ago (she was 7) using a very simple language I created specifically for the task (a mix between BASIC and Pascal) with no success. And that's not a bad thing. There's a lot of awesome interests out there for our children outside of computers.

Also, I think the main issue today is that "modern times" offers a radical range of enterteinment we didn't have in our times. If I was born today instead of 1980 I think I'd stuck with my early child dream: being a cartoonist.
If you use a Google Titan Key with Apple devices, have you been able to pair and successfully authenticate using either (1) bluetooth only, or (2) NFC only, on any Apple device?

I have not, and it's frustrating that Google offers no support beyond their help pages for their own branded hardware.
Cool, yeah, Zentner has a lot of cool content. He has his own channel too, if the CWU lectures aren't enough.

It doesn't, though. Go actually read the article this time, not just the headline.

We couldn't defeat a handful of semi-literate mujahedeen with little more than Kalashnikovs after paying several trillion dollars, laying down several thousand lives, and spending 20 years on the ground. Just on this basis alone, we don't need "IVAS" or whatever, and we especially don't need it for 22 billion dollars, and _especially_ when we're already nearly 30 trillion dollars in debt. This is insane and pointless boondoggle and nobody will be using this shit in any kind of an actual combat scenario. I'd like the heads of those who approved this to be propped up on pikes outside The Pentagon (in Minecraft).

I can see the benefits of this collection of tools within an all-in-one monolith. Ease of deployment is a big benefit. I can also see the costs. As a stack its probably better in some ways than how a lot of other businesses operate as well as worse. There's probably a lot both ways.

The mainframe mindset might be a factor here as well. The giant mainframe where all the magic happens is still a thing to behold and this is definitely part of banking's history and present. Mainframes are beasts and are still far from any kind of obsolescence. A monolithic Bank Python with a standardised set of libraries etc would slot right in to that mindset and way of thinking.

The part about programming languages frequently not having tables is interesting. The closest as mentioned is the hash, but you lose so much in that abstraction eg the relational aspects. The counter argument then becomes the obvious: why aren't you using a database library, or in a pinch, sqlite? Rightly so. Why would you add relational tables to python rather than have a generic python database spec or a collection of database connector libraries. Databases are separate and large projects in themselves.

I'd still be overly disturbed if they were running some old python 2.5 or similar. Just saying. That would be a source of pity.
If you care about helping the world, you can do a hell of a lot better than Netflix, let's not kid ourselves.

> A promising solution [for long-haul carbon-neutral transportation] are drop-in fuels (synthetic alternatives for petroleum-derived liquid hydrocarbon fuels such as kerosene, gasoline or diesel) made from H2O and CO2 by solar-driven processes [...] While individual steps of such a scheme have been implemented, we now demonstrate operation of the entire thermochemical solar fuel production chain, from H2O and CO2 captured directly from ambient air to the synthesis of drop-in transportation fuels (e.g. methanol, kerosene), with a modular 5-kWthermal pilot-scale solar system operated under real field conditions

The research article itself seems to be paywalled. A few divulgative articles have been published, e.g. https://techxplore.com/news/2021-11-technical-feasibility-su... , with an interview with project architect Aldo Steinfeld and study co-author Anthony Patt:

> For the past two years, researchers led by Aldo Steinfeld, Professor of Renewable Energy Carriers at ETH Zurich, have been operating a solar mini-refinery on the roof of the Machine Laboratory in the center of Zurich

> [The produced fuels] are carbon neutral because solar energy is used for their production and because they release only as much CO2 during their combustion as was previously extracted from the air for their production. [...] [T]he solar redox unit ... converts CO2 and H2O into a specific mixture of CO and H2 so-called syngas [to be converted] into liquid hydrocarbons [...] [With] the not-so-optimal solar irradiation of Zurich ... during a representative day run, the amount of syngas produced is about 100 standard liters, which can be processed into about half a decilitre of pure methanol ... Substantial process optimisation is still required.

> 2019 global aviation kerosene consumption was 414 billion liters; the total land footprint of all solar plants required to fully satisfy global demand would be about 45,000 km2, equivalent to 0.5 percent of the area of the Sahara Desert
YMMW, but FWIW. You no longer have the luxury of hours-long uninterrupted coding streaks, but it doesn't prevent you from thinking through things that need to be done (e.g. when you are walking outside with a stroller). The net effect of it is that when you do have a chance to sit down and code, you produce something that requires no rewriting or refactoring later on. If you then compare time it takes to get X done, the think-then-code comes on top of code-then-rewrite and by a large margin.

In a sense having a baby forces you to become a more thoughtful and effecient programmer :)
Slightly unrelated, I was curious if anyone here could recommend a 3d printer? Smaller one would be better just trying out now.

Thanks for writing! I'm too interested in cultural events since long ago.

I already did complications version of this concept in the past, this time was like the final, Flash mode, do it, try it hard one more and time.

Technically, I felt in love with this project. Natural language processing + scraping + data mining and maintenance ... So, this time was from other angle, 1 index.php + 1 mysql events, and focus on getting data right, quickly, 1 monoth.

Songkick is giving me popularity, the only thing I add is event views (each visitor of an event +1).
But I already added bayesians, apis, and shit that made me never ship. This time I want to focus really on user experience and quality data. Be patience and work a lot on SEO.

> I wonder if anything similar can be done for the undergrad electrodynamics course, which was more or less an experiment of “how many gnarly multiple integrals can you grind before burning out?”

The classical field theory course was one of my favorites at the master level. Classical EM is beautiful in the sense that by sprinkling some math magic you can basically calculate everything from a few basic laws. Everything sort of fits together in a coherent tight package. TBH, the class did have a fearsome reputation for being math-heavy, and many of my class mates struggled (which was weird, because I was never super-strong in math compared to many of them).
Just checked, Georgia's population increased from 2.6 mln to 4 mln under Stalin. Maybe there was terror, but I wouldn't call it depopulated wasteland.
Do you set aside time for yourself to just do nothing and let your mind reflect and contemplate? Sometimes when going for runs/walks I find myself thinking about all sorts of things, sometimes related to work or a project but also just random things. It’s nice to not always give your brain an agenda and see what it comes up with itself.
I'd flip that and decide that there is no algorithm that exists and is documented that you can't implement yourself, for amusement and educational value or, given time and the will, more than that. Just making that decision has value for you even if you don't actually do it terribly often.

Same as you can design a cpu in HDL and flash it to an FPGA. (The "Nand to Tetris" course seems popular) Same as you can write an OS. Same as you can write a compiler and/or interpreter.

Believing these things (and they're actually true!) gets us all away from learned helplessness. There's enough of that when it comes to actual silicone...

Nobody understands it all. _You_ understand as much of it as you choose, in the direction that takes you, as deep as you want to go. It's just work, a lot of it, but no more than that.
Sounds like the Quartz platform at Bank of America. When I interviewed with that team they joyfully espoused the virtues of their Principal Engineer who quote, “created the database software from scratch!”

Edit: For the record, I implement third-party vendor Excel functions (DLLs written in C++) in C# and it’s a great way to send useless processes to the shadow realm.
Or they could use instead use CSVs. What could possibly go wrong?

That’s not how it works. Unless you explicitly give the vector space an inner product, it doesn’t have one.

What you probably mean is that “you can always define an inner product” but that’s a very different statement.

That’s not true either though, the different dimensions in a vector space do bot have to belong to the same field, so you can’t assume you can add them together.
As I understand it, “amazon time sync service” is just a bunch of NTP servers run by Amazon. Their ClockBound library calculates error bounds the same way you would if you were using a different NTP server: |Local Offset| + Root Dispersion + (Root Delay / 2)

>how exactly would GPS work at scale for 10,000s of servers

GPS module (+ GPSDO + Rb clock optional) -> SBC running NTP server -> machines running NTP client

I’m not sure what you meant by “clocks on the system board” but if you’re talking about the system clock on the NTP server or the NTP client, it really doesn’t matter. Any old crystal on the NTP server is accurate enough to stay locked to a PPS input. The clients are limited by NTP so their clocks don’t really matter either.
Yeah, I feel a bit bad for sticking my 15-month-old in a 2m x 1m playpen with his favorite toys so I can attend to something else for a few minutes. He also apparently hated being swaddled, managing to break loose by about six weeks old.

Babyproofing, like IT security, is best approached as layers and can never be absolute. And toddlers are hackers. Mine even has what I call his “reverse-engineering noise”.

That's not at odds with him having raped her. In addition, most rapes (and murders, and most violent crimes) are committed by those in close relationships. Double in addition, I don't doubt for a minute that a rapist 40 years her senior would manipulate this woman into a "consensual" relationship post-facto.
>Peng's social media post was quickly deleted by government censors. Her social media account disappeared hours after her post. China's state media outlets have not mentioned her accusations at all.

>Screenshots of Peng's original post continued to circulate widely on the Chinese internet even as censors scrambled to delete any references to her allegations within group chats and blogs, a sign of the immense public interest in her allegations. The speed with which her post was deleted also reflects the extreme sensitivity of her remarks, which come just as Communist Party leaders convene in Beijing for the Sixth Plenum, an important political meeting during which the state is on high alert for any sign of discord.

Chinese internet censorship is insane. How many people work as censors?
Thank you very much, @kylegawley!
That was what the traditional agent told me a few months ago. I asked how much he sold an identical house next door to me 2 months earlier, he didn’t know. He wanted an obscene 1.5%.

I work for an education focused nonprofit (medium sized 1000~) and while I still get frustrated at times, it's the 'this can be even better' VS the 'this is hell on earth' that I've dealt with at big corporations. Everyone is so dang nice which coupled with a savvy ceo and flexible work life has been ridiculously soothing to my previously burnt-out self. The unpleasant people that exist at all businesses are rare and are definite noted outliers. Even if people get upset or frustrated, it's always clear that it's about the situation or problem rather than lashing out at others. It is sweet relief to work with people that care about what they do and having the mission being a genuinely good thing.

I think it's _exceptionally_ unlikely they would use copilot in private repos. Not for licensing issues, but for security issues. People include secrets all the time in private repos. Trying to get an AI that can train on that sort of data, but avoid including these secrets would be a technical nightmare, and they'd get sued as soon a secret inevitably leaked out. And they have no incentive to; there's _plenty_ of data available in public GitHub to make copilot amazing. And they have access to that data in a way no other company does, so competition is going to be waaaays away.

Outside of that, I see copilot like the future of search engines. Instead of searching for plain text matches, it lets you search for abstract and complicated patterns. The killer feature for me would be seeing for a given suggestion (or search result), where the suggestion was derived from, linking back to the code snippet in GitHub.
