I don't think there are any general purpose programming languages with decent performance which outright "prevent undefined behaviour" in something like NSS. Rust, for example, does not.

safe Rust doesn't have undefined behaviour but of course you can (and a large project like this will) use unsafe Rust and then you need the same precautions for that code. This sharply reduces your exposure if you're doing a decent job - and is therefore worthwhile but it is not a silver bullet.

Outright preventing undefined behaviour is hard. Java outlaws it, but probably not successfully (I believe it's a bug if your Java VM exhibits undefined behaviour, but you may find that unless it was trivial to exploit it goes in the pile of known bugs and nobody is jumping up and down to fix it). Go explains in its deeper documentation that concurrent Go is unsafe (this is one of the places where Rust is safer, safe Rust is still safe concurrently).

Something like WUFFS prevents undefined behaviour and has excellent performance but it has a deliberately limited domain rather than being a general purpose language. Perhaps a language like WUFFS should exist for much of the work NSS does. But Rust does exist, it was created at Mozilla where NSS lives, and NSS wasn't rewritten in Rust so why should we expect it to be rewritten in this hypothetical Wrangling Untrusted Cryptographic Data Safely language?

> At that time law enforcement consisted of citizen watches and constables.

Sheriffs, in other words.

We can debate whether or not more or less power should be given to directly elected sheriffs and deputies, or the police, but that is immaterial. Sheriffs and police are two near identical systems of power that are applied in different manners. The critics of police power are also critical of sheriffs, in many cases more so.

I would personally prefer we demilitarize the police, including federal police and the FBI, but the idea that local cops is a standing army is silly.

I don't know anybody who thought OpenSSL was well-maintained in and before the Heartbleed era (it's a fork of SSLeay, which was Eric Young's personal project). Post-Heartbleed --- a decade ago, longer than the time lapse between SSLay and OpenSSL --- maintenance of OpenSSL has improved dramatically.

Programmers rarely change codebase names when corporate names change - it has a huge cost for almost no benefit. That's why so many of Apple's Objective-C class names start with NS - which is for NextStep, the company Apple acquired in the mid 90s.
Not sure if this is common knowledge (??) but I feel I should note here: in my job we absolutely do not consider containers to be a security boundary[1]. On the other hand I still tend to use them for isolation on my personal boxen, because they at least reduce the blast radius of bugs or shitty packaging.

Until they're not anymore. Let's get off this stupid ride, we don't need big centralized services to tell us how to consume the content we're ostensibly paying for.

Navidrome on a home server, hooked up to a big ol hardrive, ultrasonic on your phone connected to navidrome (offlining supported), support artists you really like by buying their shit off bandcamp, rip everything else cause let's be honest these artists aren't seeing stream money anyway.

People will gripe and complain about how much "work" it is to maintain these things, but let's be real: every single person in here has at least one friend who'd be willing to host something like this for them. What it comes down to is that we're in the habit of relying on big tech companies rather than the folks around us. But habits can be broken.
May be I am cynical. I think we need to wait for more information because something about this seems slightly suspicious.
Boulevard actually reached out to me & apologized, apparently the 2 people working with me both left the company. If there's a good reason for someone to fall through the cracks, I suppose that would definitely be it!

I can say that I've otherwise had a great experience with Boulevard.
That's not really compatible with the history of AI, where designing systems to solve a problem has traditionally been considered in scope. Seems that, like many people, Chollet wants to think of AI in terms of AGI (artificial general intelligence).

I actually disabled loading of webfonts. The only two websites I've encountered where I actually notice it, and remember that I did that, is Google Translate and a particular government website I use about once a year.

Everything, everywhere else, seems to work just fine with using the browser defaults.
there's no way to measure the number of people who have been further entrenched by YET ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT where the tribal actions of those belonging are geared towards social climbing within the cloister as opposed to outreach to those who don't already agree with them.

Increasingly, the modern left seems hellbent on demeaning "those people" on any number of topics, from culture war, environmentalism, COVID. They can't meet people half way in the hopes that some, in turn, will open their ears to what they have to say. Instead the entire movement - from BLM, to the pro-vax crowd, the pro-trans movement, the climate change movement, is merely to sneer down anyone who even slightly disagrees with them, including fellow leftists who might be slightly out of lock-step.

This is not a political movement that can grow in any meaningful way. It means to humiliate, dominate and reign it's superiority over others. And for now - they have the power of the media, hollywood, academia, most HR departments and such on their side that helps them feel comfortable in this ... lack of a political strategy.

But when their goals and the goals of corporate america don't align, just watch how this "strategy" will work out for them.

YOu have to actually treat people... like people, even though you disagree, to build your movement.

That's the hard work of politics.

The left is insulated by a corporate system who's tricked them into thinking their goals are aligned. They're not.

I am currently working with a Silicon Valley database vendor on their SaaS offering on AWS and Azure, which gives me very recent experience with many of AWS services and also 3rd party tools like Terraform, Prometheus and many more.

I am now leading a small team and I am looking to step up, perhaps to a CTO role or an 'architect' type of a function in a larger org, ideally with a company or a team that needs to solve problems around large quantities of data - provenance, efficient and economical persistence, high availability etc

I am looking for a role where I can develop a "T-shaped" expertise - deep domain knowledge coupled with wide but shallower knowledge about the broader ecosystem.
Conversely, in modern times we are capable of building increasingly complex and fragile systems to manipulate our environment that are subject to even more disastrous collapses when they eventually fail.

Further, increased hyper-specialization means fewer and fewer of the population is capable of engaging in productive behavior when the systems fail. (Twitch streamers cannot rapidly be recruited to help with electrical maintenance, whereas the average neolithic flood victim is approximately as useful as any other.)

Further, our social technology appears to be barely chugging along, with people more atomized and the social fabric fraying, meaning falling levels of trust and fewer connections, so coordinating responses to...anything is becoming increasingly difficult.

> The only thing really "special" about software, and it applies to all engineering, is you cannot pretend something is working when it isn't.

This is actually less true of software than of other engineering fields. An airplane can only weigh so much, and it needs an engine that's at least so powerful, else it will never leave the ground. With computing, the constraint ceiling is much higher, and it's still getting higher year over year albeit more slowly than it used to. Consequently, you can brute-force a terrible abstraction into kind of, sort of working and it will be acceptable for most use cases, only to break spectacularly when subjected to loads beyond a particular scale.
What I'm not understanding is that by most commercial radio standards, these guard bands are huge. 400Mhz? 20Mhz?

Brave for a payment processor to choose a name meaning to hinder or impede.
I think that you're suggesting something like weego did in another comment, which seems like a worthy goal, but is a bit different from what the proposal seemed to outline (at least in my reading).
so who wants to tell linus to rewrite everything in rust?
They could be replaced with either a weight, steel springs, or perhaps rope or sinew cords like the Romans used. Rubber is more effective and compact, but watch the video and you see there’s nothing particularly special about using rubber & he could’ve picked something else. The rubber puller itself does not exceed 10 m/s.

Pdfcpu: Generate PDF via JSON
To me, PORT_Memcpy is one problem here.

There are two buffers and one size -- the amount of memory to copy.

There should be PORT_Memcpy2(pDest, destSize, pSource, numBytesToCopy) (or whatever you want to call it) which at least prompts the programmer to account for the size destination buffer.

Then flag all calls to PORT_Memcpy and at least make a dev look at it.
(Same for the various similar functions like strcpy, etc.)
Likewise. IIRC Apple Music is a lot more (3x?) expensive than iTunes Match so not sure if the price increase would be worth it to me. But my thinking it wouldn't track my library was what made Apple Music a nonstarter for me.
I would want to consider the points in the article, but I can not focus to read the text on my 27inch/4k screen as the line width is too big. This also makes me doubt that whoever wrote those lines cares about UX and not only about having a minimal webpage.
> The problem is in the ambiguity around the work "working".

We (engineers, scientists, whatever) exploit ambiguity as a work avoidance strategy all the time, but for many fields exploiting ambiguity is the work. IMO it's like the difference between a think tank abusing statistical bias versus using a firehose of falsehood to push their agenda. Ambiguity is just a tool in the former case that occasionally causes problems, but it is the life blood of the latter tactic and creates a much more destructive atmosphere for critical thinking and societal trust in general.
Lol, look at this guy, paying attention to meetings!

Me, I'd be tempted to hook the microphone to the speakers and create a "crossover" meeting and seeing how long it took till someone noticed.
Top 20 Active Darkweb Onion Links and Services 2022

> Although, I think about publishing the core of it as a package, fully fledged alternative to noVNC. Where X server desktop can be shared using WebRTC technology to a browser.

I think that would be nice! There are a lot of ways to approach this (I've used xpra, vnc, remote X, xrdp...) and there are pros/cons to them all. It might be useful for more people without the docker requirement :)
You fire the weapon. The tiny pebble breaks up on impact, creating a little crater in the rock. To you, the medieval siege engineer, this is annoying. The frenchmen taunt you from their parapet, yelling maternal insults and farting in your direction. Your supersonic trebuchet is a failure, tactically speaking.

You can't take their mockery anymore, so you set about fixing your projectile.

The pebble lost much of its energy in flight - drag is a huge issue with any distance to target. You make a projectile in the shape of a rod. This has the effect of decreasing the cross-sectional area of the projectile relative to its mass, minimizing drag losses. There's a limit to the length:width ratio, however- go too skinny and it'll deform under firing forces.

The projectile's length also allows it to burrow deeper into the rock -- when material at the tip breaks off on impact, it's got the rest of the shaft behind it, just as mad.

To pack the most punch into your projectile, you craft it from tungsten (then known as Wolfram). In order to keep it from yawing in flight, you add some rigid vanes at the back. It looks like a small, superheavy arrow.

Now you have the issue wherein it doesn't fit well into your cannon anymore. No mind -- you set it in a cup of sorts that seals the barrel. Wait, where did you get a cannon? This is the year 1217 AD...???

Congratulations: you have constructed an armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot munition (APFSDS). You load it into your M256A1 120mm smoothbore cannon. You peer through the sights.... now where were those sac à merde?
Twitter bios are pretty bad in general. I'll check someone's bio and it just says something like "optimist, player of games" which doesn't help my poor literal-minded brain decide whether to follow them or not.
HappyFunCorp | Software Engineers | Remote | Full-time or freelance | https://happyfuncorp.com

We seek excellent web and mobile developers, currently especially senior React Native, Node, and Rails devs. We work on a wide variety of projects with a wide variety of technologies, so we prefer generalists with a reasonable amount of experience under their belt -- but there are always exceptions.

We do web and app (and occasionally blockchain) development for clients ranging from Fortune 500 to startups. We've shipped hundreds of projects, have won various awards including App of the Year from Apple, and are probably best-known for having built Bookshop.org; and we pay well. Email: jobs@happyfuncorp.com
I think that's fine, but why create so much chaos with a rebrand on a product that currently has very little to do with blockchain tech? Why not spin off a separate entity, "Block (powered by Square)" to prove the idea and slowly migrate?

This name change is going to be extremely confusing to end users who are out of the loop given the current dominance of the Square brand.
UBI will do this. Lots of freeloaders, but at pretty much the same cost as at present.

But it's instructive to look at communistic/socialistic states, which pretty much had this. Anecdotally, Joscha Bach talks about his father, being able to do his own thing in that environment, without needing it to be practical.

And perhaps that's the crucial thing: without incentives, ideas are not made practical, where they can make a difference. Did you ever notice that when some cool new mathematics is developed and applied to do something amazing, it turns out that the math had already been worked out by somebody else about two centuries ago - but that work had no effect on the breakthrough. It would have made no difference if it had never been done...

For me, who loves the idea of people being able to work on whatever inspires them, this is terrible news. I wonder if there's a way around it? Perhaps just better connecting previous work - "idea search", if you like (present academic "literature review" is evidently inadequate).

Perhaps a categorization system like Roget's or Dewey's, but for arbitrarily dimensional application of ideas, maybe somethig relational or like Hoogle for searching Haskell type signatures, which works surprisingly well, probably because types are general in terms of application. The semantic web doesn't seem to work well; too specific/concrete.

Even before this law, non-competes in Ontario were mostly an intimidation tactic.

I'm not entirely sure if this change does anything, since it appears that employers can still put in a non-compete agreement (which is void, but still works as an intimidation tactic).

The only thing here that I can see the benefit of, is that the news coverage of non-competes being void, will make more employees aware that they're void.
If the benchmarks are to be believed, I think it substantially outperforms re2, because it also beats Hyperscan, and I think Hyperscan typically beats re2.
GraphicsMagick is purportedly much better code and faster... but people still reach for ImageMagick for some reason. Either one is a wonderful, powerful tool!
Indeed, I wasn't comfortable watching it until I realized that he was the one that posted the video. But instant desintegration was definitely on the menu there and once stuff comes apart and starts flying it's impossible to predict trajectories. That's a very large amount of energy on what looks to be two run-of-the-mill boards, they're fortunately under compression but the joint at the bottom looks (far) less than ideal for this, especially with the holes drilled in line with each other (that's a definite 'no' if you want to avoid splitting the beams).

A++ for the theory, but the implementation is not something I'd want to be near when it is in operation, it is just too unsafe judging by my somewhat experienced DIY eye.
That would probably only be used by donald@trump.com, and also make them substantially less able to target ads if adopted

Python is a mess of bad design, it gives you plenty of rope to hang yourself regarding approaches to a problem. I suggest learning a language like Go, where the Python motto "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it" is actually true.
To add a contrary voice, I completely disagree. Data accessibility, organization and access to analyst time remain the biggest hurdles to corporate data literacy.

No business user is going to write notebook code, on the other hand I've seen some great exploration, analysis, and dashboarding work done by business users with the right self-serve setup in Looker. dbt + Metabase or Superset seems like a great cheaper / more open alternative stack.

From what I've seen, ML and programmatic stuff is flashy, but enabling business users to easily get tables and bar charts is how you get everyone making more sound decisions.
I'm not sure any API that requires "secure context" can be run from a file://, for those reasons.
I used to mine Bitcoin before it was cool.
Since I don't listen to much music on my phone, I've actually taken in a step further: my Apple Music local library music files are stored in a .sparsebundle on my NAS. I wrote a little Obj-C app to automatically mount and unmount that sparsebundle when I open and close Apple Music (née iTunes) on MacOS. This prevents the sparsebundle from becoming corrupted, as they tend to do.

Then, I use that same little Obj-C app to detect when I'm away from home and open a VPN connection to my NAS's network. So, wherever I am, I can stream music on my laptop from my local library.

After doing this for a few years instead of paying for Apple Music, it has already saved the cost of the NAS and its hard drives.
Exactly. It would be interesting to hook the whole thing up to an electric motor and to winch it (from a safe distance) to the point where it breaks just to determine how much margin there was. Probably not a whole lot past the point that he hand cranked it.
I gave up the gym during COVID and quickly dropped out of shape. I was going an hour a day, 5 days a week and was in decent shape.

I was unable to keep it up at home despite the equipment I had.

Recently I purchased a roll away treadmill and created a treadmill desk set up. I’m finally at least walking 30 minutes a day during the work week, but that’s obviously still not enough.

It’s tough, but the treadmill helps as I can keep working.
And? This isn't news though, we all know.
