Even if the poster had not deleted the text (I saw it before they deleted it, and the text is posted in this thread, however), that would not do anything to make it legit. It is just someone making a claim on the Internet.

It is good fodder for a security discussion, though. The merits will have to be decided in a court of law.

WTF is Web3, a stupid simple explanation
Neither your very strict, seemingly religious-based and ethically dubious idea of an "upstanding citizen", nor anyone else's, should ever justify someone's reputation being irreparably compromised by a professional phone repair person / google employee on the job.

Anyway, your comment doesn't seem to have much purpose but to weirdly say "this isn't right, but it actually is right."
Goes doubly for the kiddos who seem to love putting everything in their mouth.
One of the problems with things like this is how do you know which site has copied from another, especially if you don't want a list of hard-coded exceptions.

Related is if you have a lot of content from git repositories that are mirrored from different locations (GitHub, GitLab, etc.), all of which are showing the same content. Or if different sites are hosting versions of public domain texts. You don't want to derank those results, even if they are similar to the "copy a popular site" websites.
"So it’s not the “free to do anything” of open-source software, but it is free in many cases."

Pretty much all there is to say.I don't want to bash mathematica/wolfram language because i actually like them to a degree, and i also agree with the fact that you don't let everyone design your language.However,that degree is having an account to make in order to use certain things, even free, and other things that make it harder for hobbyists/students to use.Again, this is not even in antithesis with the "we have a business model suited for enterprises", which can definitely remain even if you were to further open the language, or make the tools free to download, without an account that asks for your address, phone number, etc.

Stephen has done truly something great with this project,and it shows, but let's not pretend this is not an attempt at trying to gain back some of the people who look at other popular solutions(like jupyter notebooks, and the dozen of other solutions derived from it) and say: this is more convenient for me.

Open source has become quite literally like some copyrighted posters exposed in the public space.
Obscure is a good choice. I’d probably use niche. Honestly, esoteric could be a good word to describe lisp, except for the fact that it seems to already exist as a term for a category that wouldn’t include lisp.
I’m close to doing 4-day workweek for my team. For now we do 4.5 (half a day on Friday).

That said, had to subscribe to answering services to cover off hours including Friday afternoon.

You’ll be surprised how many people call at 5pm on Friday.
Visible is enough. It does not have to be focused. It can mostly also be covered by other (browser) windows, but if it is minimized or in another tab, it gets throttled.

That hit me a few times, but ads and malware ruined that for everyone. (and there is no simple permission dialog possible, where you ask the user to allow it)

The least believable part of this story is that they _called Google_ and _talked to someone._ How?

I think that's because race issues are still very much (and sadly) a thing in 2021, and understanding race issues in historical context is very important. Also slavery still exists to this day.
Google Search has been going downhill _fast_ over the past 5 years or so. Since it's probably incompetence rather than malice, what the heck is going on at Google Search? It seems to me the "let's use AI for everything" camp has taken over the entire place even though it's making Search worse than it ever was.

And please spare me the excuse that now Google can answer questions. It can't, it just answers with snippets extracted from websites it deems relevant, and often the answer is flat out wrong or irrelevant.

I just hope the ML/AI mania that has taken over these big tech companies proves to be a fad that just goes nowhere like it did in the 70s and we return to plain old algorithms and good software engineering.
Then you get an app that can generate fakes. Seems very fun to make

Great project, thanks for sharing. Also in this space is Mighty (https://mightyapp.com). I believe streaming GUIs is the future of the web. We are already seeing this take off with cloud gaming like Stadia. Imagine a truly unified auth identity or in memory db that can communicate and share info across unrelated webapps, or browser macros that brings browser automation capability to the end user for their daily surfing. Or, a truly portable web OS that can operate across any device as a fullscreen PWA, complete with FS capability to the underlying Docker box, and access to your files and data across any instance.
Is it legally a good idea for Google to go and blacklist individual sites?

For me, the BaaS philosophy is to simplify development by using an "all-batteries-included" platform. I know some people use Supabase just for the free postgres or other things, but I don't like to use multiple providers for a single simple project. That's why it makes no sense to me currently to use Supabase until there is no functions.
For me, it was like, I know how to write a DOS batch file, and here's Unix, you can do some of the same things.

I was smarter as an 18 year old than I am now, though! That's a thing my IRC friends from the time constantly talk about today; the people we were when we were shouting each other out in 1990s Phrack issues seem a lot sharper than we are now. We used to hang out and build "protected mode program loaders" for fun. You know, operating systems.

I ran a BBS using DESQview on an 80286 with a Rampage memory card. It connected nightly to the Fido BBS "Southern Star". Very cool stuff for the time.

DESQview was a huge help maintaining the board while it was actually running, and especially for the nightly tasks.

edit: I should add, the BBS software was Maximus.

Anyone who's interested is welcome to join the group in #adventofcode on Libera.Chat. We hang out there and in the spoilers channel, especially around and for some hours after the release time each day. Lots of interesting discussion goes on. A lot of people aim for the leaderboard (which is certainly not required), then afterwards discuss solutions, optimizations, rewrites, edge cases, and more. We also have an IRC leaderboard (the AoC site has a private leaderboard feature). It's all good fun!

Disclosure, just in case: I'm one of the ops in the channel.

I'm experienced qa/backend engineer with broad knowledge about entire application stack, currently looking for opportunity to connect those two areas and solve more challenging quality assurance problems.
Doesn't Dart+Flutter cover all those platforms as well? Also Delphi is 90% way there (still ways to go on wasm I believe). So not really "first and only"...
Oddly, iOS Safari’s reader mode chops off the entire first paragraph in this article.
> Whatever tech you work on, I guarantee you it's filled with incomprehensible, arbitrary rules, and weird edge cases that make no sense to someone outside your field.

It definitely is. I resent every bit of it. Every time someone points at those edge cases and how they are unfixable here and how this other tech has fixed it and forgotten about it decades ago, I feel real bad, like my teeth are being pulled.

But there is one crucial bit of my tech I prefer: it usually doesn't put you onto a maintenance treadmill wherein if you fail to keep up with the ecosystem for a month, random bits of your application start falling off.

> And we all know how children (and, indeed, all human beings on the face of the earth) are famed Zen masters, capable of controlling their emotional responses perfectly.

How dare you replace my strawmen with strawmen of your own!

But then, I'm in favor of burning this candle from both ends: yes, you need to be able to stand up for yourself; also, bitter words shouldn't be things that incapacitate you and get you into depression. I guess none of us are born with this skill, but it sure can be learned.

Also, there are bullies and there are bullies, so some will fuck off once you show you're not that easy a target, so you only get to fight the few nastiest ones. Hopefully it's a duck the size of a horse problem vs two dozen duck-sized horses problem.
Anyone have any suggestions that do?
We're no better at giving sight to the blind than we were 30 years ago, but now we can 3D print the lifeless fake eyeball inserts, which should shave a few dollars off.
Do they not have original content? I'm always frustrated when I click too fast and land on geeksforgeeks.org, because their code examples are so low quality and without explanations.

> The books that are usually recommended seems to be CUDA-centric and out of date.

The CUDA-ones are usually best, because they're at least with a modern API. The other recommendations I got are the 80s stuff on vector computers and the CM-2.

It turns out that a huge community of high-performance programmers have experimented with all of these concepts in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and 00s, long before GPUs. All of their concepts still work today on modern GPUs.

Looking up the right keywords: such as "CREW-PRAM algorithms" (Concurrent-Read Exclusive Write, Parallel RAM model) immediately gives you plenty of results for some things. (Ex: I just searched on 'CREW-PRAM DFS' and got: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/82490222.pdf).

The key is understanding what the "old word" for GPU was. That's PRAM, the Parallel-RAM model. That's how programmers from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s talked about algorithms written for the GPU-style called it back then.

Newer articles / books talk about GPUs directly.

--------------

I'd say the fundamentals are covered in the 1970s, such as "A Parallel Algorithm for the Efficient Solution of a General Class of Recurrence Equations" by Kogge, which leads to the development of Prefix sum (as it is called today).

Of course, CUDA code is clearer than a theoretical CREW-PRAM discussion. So perhaps its easier if you just read GPU Compute Gems by NVidia to cover the same material. Still, I find that the 1970s writing is often times better written for a beginner (back then, fewer programmers knew how parallel programming worked, but were clearly more math-heavy than today. So I find that reading old articles like that one helps my personal brain and personal thinking pattern)

---------

Ah right, the recommendation. I'd say "Data Parallel Algorithms" by Hillis / Steele (ACM Communications 1986) is an excellent introduction to general-purpose SIMD compute. It was written for CM-2, an ancient supercomputer that no longer exists, but the PRAM style applies to GPU algorithms today.

Its like 15 pages, but it really opens your eyes to the possibilities. A lot of CUDA stuff is very specific to NVidia GPUs (important specific details: like bank conflicts and shared memory, which you absolutely should learn about... but such details should be studied after you learned the way of parallel-thinking / PRAM model / etc. etc.)

Shoutout to philmcp who was able to quit his job recently to work on https://4dayweek.io full time!
Echoes my comment above. The guys I met from Aerotech took their time over a long lunch meeting to get to know me and what I valued in a company and where I wanted my career to go before looking for opportunities.

That said, I feel that recruiters work harder the farther along you are in your career. They make more as a percentage and they realized that experienced candidates likely have a larger network and will send them more referrals. It's a sales business, they're not stupid.
> And the people they contract it out to almost certainly have procedures in place which are meant to ensure that neither the devices themselves nor the data on them get out.

I think your impression of what phone repair places are like may not match reality. The industry is far more ad-hoc and margin chasing than the rows of immaculate benches staffed by well paid professionals in a brightly lit facility like they might show in a brochure.
Readers of Nassim Taleb, doubts raised over our blind trust of institutions like their reaction to coronavirus, any mainstream nutritional advice (fat is bad and causes heart disease, “the China study” was written by a nutritional biochemist), papers that p hack to be published, replication crisis of psychology, statistics and using it to lie.

There is no paranoia, an allegory is an ivory tower of studies about language from non native speakers with a PhD, and a native speaker who gets no recognition for using it daily but doesn’t have a fancy diploma or credentials so someone who speaks “proper” Spanish from Spain who has never been to Spain is more “credible” than the Mexican speaking “improper” Spanish daily.

Academia is to be ignored unless it’s relevant, Fritz Harber didn’t need the Nobel prize to have real world effects in nitrogen fixing to help farmers grow and sustain our population, Obama wasn’t more relevant because of his Nobel prize, and Perelman’s refusal of the Fields Medal doesn’t change his contributions.
Your friend factory reset the phone and put their own password on it? To be fair to Google, they should refuse - if they agreed to wipe someone else's account that would be a HUGE breach of protocol based just on your word. What would keep people from selling used phones and then calling Google to deactivate them? Or just calling Google and deactivating random phones?

If your "friend" refuses to log out and re-reset it then the correct thing to do here is to report it to your homeowners insurance. Your friend basically stole your phone. Insurance should pay for it and then they can go after your friend to get their money back.

I left home right after high school (not in a bad way!) and wound up going to basically every hacker conference for the next couple years, and a side effect of that is that a lot of those people are still personal friends today. There are good stories about where a lot of those people --- especially the UPT people --- ended up, but a lot of them are skittish about having those connections made and I never know which of them are or aren't sensitive.

We all thought we were pretty cool, but of course, there was an even sub-er subculture that was doing the UPT thing but on BBSs set up on X.25 networks; that's how you get to, for instance, the 8lgm people.
