> but we will someday look back on it as asbestos and wonder why we kept at it for so damn long.

Maybe. But there is good reason for C dominance - it's low level and close to systems as in "syscalls and stuff". And we need that level of systems control, not only for max performance but also for not loosing what is available in hw and os.

Asm is the other option to have full functionality :) Maybe it's just case of available libraries but still C is curently only one option for feature completness. And on low levels all you have is bytes and bits and calls and that allows to do everything with bits, bytes and calls - Core Wars style - and most of languages try to prevent or easy use of that by cutting possibilities, eg. "goto is so nono !11".

And yes, C is not perfect and bullshit even grows, eg. in last years NULL checks are "optimized-out"...

C actually should be improved and not fucked up into forced disuse...

That sounds good, then? Hope you are not implying that it's a negative thing.
Why is it nice to have that behavior as an option in addition to/instead of just trying to compress everything as it's written?

aside: gotta love that the commenter who said they wished for this feature got downvoted before a respected filesystem developer casually dropped by to mention that it was a feature he thought was worth implementing in his cool new filesystem.
I'm aware what was being protested. I'm not sure that makes any of it any better.

It's a different kind of bug–changing the type on a record cannot give you a shell, it can just let you do something funny with the record, such as deleting it. Which is bad, of course, but a bounded bad.

Memory corruption is unbounded bad: in general, corruption is arbitrary code execution. Your program might never interact with the shell but it's going to anyways, because an attacker is going to redirect code execution through the libc in your process. This is just not possible in languages like Java* , which provide details of what kinds of (mis)behaviors are permissible when a race occurs. The list of things is always something like "one of the two writes succeeds" or similar, not "¯\_(ツ)_/¯".

*Barring bugs in the runtime, which do exist…but often because they're written in unsafe languages ;) Although, a bug in runtime written in a safe language will also give you arbitrary code execution…but that's because the job of the code is to enable arbitrary code execution.
Design Systems Engineer - UI/UX, React, Typescript

* Location: Europe

* Remote: Yes

* Willing to relocate: No

* Technologies: React, TypeScript, UI/UX Design, NextJs

* Résumé/CV: http://metamn.io/

* Email: bartus.csongor@gmail.com

I'm a developer who designs. A computer scientist, and a self-taught UI/UX designer with works featured in online galleries.

The last 15 years I've been designing and developing websites and applications. From back-end to front-end, from architecture design to UI/UX design, on various stacks.

My current focus is consistent and scalable user interfaces and experiences -- design systems and component libraries. I make them available to companies with less resources.

I'm looking for a job at the intersection of design and engineering. Perhaps with a progressive company ready for novel ideas.

> The only evidence PG needs is that people continue to spend money on private schools in order to increase university admissions.

No, he also needs to prove that the people from those private schools aren't in fact smarter than people from public schools who attend the same universities. Especially due to affirmative action, which has immense impacts on how people are selected to attend college.

We know people who send their kids to private schools tend to 1) have more money, 2) be more involved in their kids education, 3) more commonly have two-parent households. In short, they tend to be more successful and lots of that success can come from intelligence, however defined.

I am the first to poo-poo the academic establishment, but PG's reasoning is shoddy and I would be highly surprised if any data showed this to be true.

The jury's out on whether Rust code with unsafe around all of it is better than C. It's good that you can slowly reduce the unsafe, which is not something you can do with C, but the code is frequently harder to read and may have new bugs.
That's all nice and all, but costs and politics are a problem:

>Consider the Mars Sample Return mission. NASA plans to partner with an important ally in space, the European Space Agency, to launch a sample retrieval rover (developed in Europe) and an ascent vehicle, built for NASA by Northrop Grumman. This mission, launching no earlier than 2026, could perhaps fly on United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket. Then, a European-built return orbiter would launch on an European Ariane 6 rocket to bring the small cache of samples back to Earth.

>Such a mission would likely have a broad array of political support because it would fund multiple US contractors and bolster ties with Europe. By contrast, a SpaceX-only mission on Starship would upset NASA's other contractors, the European Space Agency, and the politicians who back their interests.

>"Just because Starship is flying, I don’t expect that all of a sudden the Science Mission Directorate’s budget is going to double," the NASA official said.
I like this concept. Finding and assessing agents stinks. I've spent a bunch of time looking at places in the Truckee, CA area. Finding the good agent was the hardest part - I wish I had been able to look at their opinions on places, and how they compared to the consensus.

Care less about the social features with random people. But I suppose I do care about yelp reviews, and trip advisor reviews... so maybe my thinking is flawed.

"I'm not talking about growth though, ..."

The definition you provided included this bit about "(thereby scaling non-linearly)". If actual growth does not matter and the only criteria are marginal cost reduction and automation that requires software, then why mention "scaling".

"Tech" companies are like pyramid schemes.^1 Unless there is growth, the "business" does not "work". This might have something to do with the fact that most of these companies do not generate enough revenue to survive, and rely on investment rounds to pay peoples' salaries.

1. Every participant had to recruit six new participants for the scheme to see any return from their own investment.

"Tech" companies are not self-sustaining, they cannot draw the requisite investment to survive, without "non-linear" growth.
Degrees are really straightforward to verify (at least from any accredited domestic school), a standard new hire background check would catch this. Obviously tech companies just don't think the degree is a super valuable signal, which I get. But I think they've turned around and placed too much emphasis on these whiteboard interviews.

Memorization can certainly be important. Memorizing random algorithms that you will never actually use during the job is less so. Conversely, other skills are important too. Poorly executed whiteboard interviews will select crammers who lack many other skills.

Some times these events (not security specifically) simply mask a market correction or trigger it. I have been in infosec a long time now and historically security incidents have rarely moved a stock price. Maybe temporarily, but it tends to bounce back after a year. Look at the massive Home Depot breaches from a while back for example. Perhaps consumers are less forgiving if it happens to a tech company.

Some other things to consider in favor of the traditional IRA:

- Assume you are in the 22% tax bracket (single filer, $42-89k income). If you contribute $6k to a traditional IRA, you avoid ~$1300 in federal income tax right now and can put those savings into some other non-tax-advantaged investment account. You have absolutely zero restrictions on withdrawals from that account and of course only pay capital gains taxes when you do withdraw.

- IRA contributions are limited to $6k per year and if you are eligible for a Roth IRA then let's be honest - you probably aren't going to be moving up that far in your tax bracket when you retire (sorry).

- (Long shot) If Congress ever changes the laws about IRA taxation, it will be paid at the point of withdrawal. With the traditional, you haven't yet paid anything and therefore can't be double taxed. Don't be so sure about a Roth.

- When you contribute to a Roth, you pay federal, state and local taxes on that money. There are 6 states that have no income tax so that may reduce the tax paid. On the other hand, when you contribute to a traditional you pay no tax now and instead pay at the time of withdrawal. But there are 9 states that do not tax withdrawals, and 27 more that limit taxes on withdrawals.

Anyway, I think the Roth is great, but it is definitely not the right choice for 99% of people :)

to me, it was clear from the start that the vaccine was not PREVENTING the transmission of the virus, they were talking about a REDUCED transmission... but politicians(leading by polls) we were so in the rush(arguably legitimately) to restore the economy that we came up with paperwork for the vaccinated as a solution (which I fill monthly to travel and I present to eat chineese food). And some citizen were so in the rush(arguably legitimately) to go back to "normal" that they just let go of the other known working measures like masks and social distancing(take the tube in London to see what I mean)

Even If I am fully vaccinated, I do not wish to send someone who have decided not to take the vaccine to the ER. Even if it was in my opinion a bad decision. I do not mind wearing a mask while we collect more data to have a more efficient response.

Generally, taint tracking.
Still pistols have some barrel so they should be vastly more accurate at range. I forget the ranges they are good for, but I think within 100 meters you can still hit your target most of the time.

Though if this is a real war I'll take a real rifle. The ar15 (m16) and ak47 are the staples of modern armies for good reason, and they have much better sniper rifles that in the right hands are amazing.
OK, as usual, someone picks up on one of the least important bits to intimate that the whole point must be wrong. Perhaps if you'd read past that you might have been able to address the theme rather than one of the less important parts.

OK great, the mother wasn't involved, TIL. But the rest stands, there is so much wrong with the whole picture leading up to the (inevitable) tragedy.
An issue is the original files are not guaranteed to be trusted. If for instance your were copying files from a flash drive or a network permission, it would seem natural to rescan every file that is copied to a local disk.

From there the more the "outside"/"inside" line gets blurry (e.g. what if it was synced from Dropbox ? or data got injected by an arbitrary program etc.), the more it becomes justified to just scan every file moving anywhere. If the goal is indeed to scan files in the first place.

> You could have said the same thing about air travel if you were in the 1930s.

Space travel and air travel are not comparable in the way you're implying. For instance the Taylor Cub (predecessor of the Piper Cub) came out in 1930. A little 500lb plane could carry two people ~200 miles. It could do this because the atmosphere does a lot of the work lifting the plane and the crew doesn't need to bring their own life support system everywhere they go. A tear in their jacket wouldn't cause them to suffocate.

Space travel has much higher minimum requirements to simply keep a human alive. Humans need their life support systems, power for the same, and ample supplies of everything because there's none wherever they're going.

> Ultimately the limiting factor is energy.

That is the first of several problems.

> In space nuclear fission is much less problematic than it is down here inside a biosphere.

Fission has its own problems in space. Reactor design is more complicated due to lack of gravity, the non-trivial challenges of excess heat, and no ready sources of a working fluid for turbines.

> If we crack fusion we are done and eventually nobody else in the galaxy will be wondering about a Fermi paradox.

Marginally better than fission but has several of the same problems. Heat is an even bigger issue to deal with because some sort of fusion engine is always wanting to melt itself.

Space travel is hard. It's not at all safe to assume it can ever be "cheap" or democratized. Air travel is just not a good comparison. The atmosphere does a lot of the work involved in flying. In space there's no medium to work in. You've got to take everything with you everywhere you go.

How we became weekly
Bezos, Gates, Musk, Buffer have their fortunes tied up in the operational reality of their companies. Gates and Buffet have committed to giving away almost everything, and at least for now, frankly, it's probably better for all of us that Musk keeps plowing into Musk projects.

Mackenzies money is essentially her bank account, which is a very different thing.

It's not a condemnation, but I think an important contextualization.
> What if cloud vendors focus on the lowest layer, and other (pure software) vendors on the layer above?

I'm at AWS re:Invent this week and I can tell you this absolutely not what Amazon is doing. Two themes really stand out in the keynotes and associated presentations:

1.) Becoming a home for data and ML services backed by hardware technologies like Graviton, Trainium, and stupid fast network connectivity. Amazon has dozens of value-added services from S3 to analytic databases. By my count they have at least 16 managed data services.

2.) Extend Amazon cloud wherever possible into non-cloud environments. Specifically: push to on-prem through technologies like AWS Outposts and Container Marketplace Anywhere as well as integrate with IoT.

#2 looks like a pump fake to defuse customer lock-in concerns. The real play is #1, which is to become the preferred home for data, taking the maximum possible share of revenue in the market. Taken as a whole, Amazon has the best data story of any company I know of.

Parents dictate these outcomes, not the teens. Those in the best position to meet these requirements fundamentally need them the least, because their parents had the money and ability to put their kids into good schools, good programs, volunteering, and did not throw them to the streets for their LGBTQ status. That already meets plenty of generic scholarship requirements. If this org was for the betterment of LGBTQ individuals they would target those whom are disadvantaged and did not have these opportunities.
I'm not a Catholic, but I am religious. First visited the Notre Dame Cathedral in 1975. Kind of hard to put it in words but it was a place of great beauty and at the same time I felt a deep sense of spirituality.

The feeling of spirituality was present the entire time that I was in the building. The last thing I'd want this old church to become is the latest Disneyesque attraction. Old school cool is still the preferred way to go.

This. It's a modern variation on tulips.
ring incorporates a barebones ASN.1 parser that also webpki uses, which is probably the crate you want to use if you want to do certificate verification in Rust. webpki is C-free but it does use ring for cryptographic primitives so that will have to be replaced if you don't like ring. More generally, I think Firefox wants to have great control over this specific component so they likely want to write it themselves, or at least maintain a fork.
It's so strange. Square has good branding. Why would you just drop that completely? Crypto stuff aside, changing the name of your company like this just feels insane to me.
Eh, you could do it manually by hanging a projection on $all and republishing to streams per correlation id. But it's cheaper to let the db do it internally.
> Italy, Japan, South Korea and Turkey are examples.

These are also countries with high prevalence of private, after school tutoring (i.e. so-called shadow education). For example, as of 2013 more than 40% of Italian secondary students attend private lessons. See Table 1 at https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20965311198901... And in Turkey this figure was nearly 60% in 2003, which may very well be even higher today (or at least # of hours is probably higher). See Figure 4.1 at https://etd.ohiolink.edu/apexprod/rws_etd/send_file/send?acc...

Not going to bother posting figures for Japan and South Korea as I don't think anybody disputes the prevalence of tutoring in those or other East Asian countries.

If you want to prevent richer (either financially or in parental involvement) kids from getting ahead, you literally need to suppress their ability to capitalize on those assets. Such as China is doing by regulating tutoring companies, or woke school boards are doing in various U.S. cities and universities. Of course, arguably you're merely hiding the underlying inequalities. But I guess this is just Goodhart's law in action, combined with pursuing the path of least resistance. That is, far easier to pursue a metric reflecting a consequence of economic inequality rather than metrics more directly measuring that inequality (e.g. Gini coefficient), let alone addressing the underlying causes themselves.
