One improvement that would be nice in gitlab is an extension / similar feature to the FF_USE_FASTZIP flag.

The default way to cache things is zip, which no matter the compression isn't a great fit, you really want a format that is stream-able like tar. When its stream-able you can download the tar and unpack it at the same time, not waiting for the full download before beginning to unpack. Obviously you would compress the tar (normally) with lz4 or zstd or similar, using this approach you should generally see a reduction in total time to get and unpack the cache. node_modules even more so since it generally has zillions of small files, so the unpack time can be quite high.

Be nice if gitlab supported this approach OOTB.

Edit: An even better way if your environment supports it is to use a mountable image (esp for node_modules) for your caches, this basically removes the entire unpack phase of making the cache available, instead of unpacking you just mount the image and off you go.

In macOS this looks like a sparseimage via attached hdituil, or in linux a squashfs image with a writable overlay mount (you need a privileged container for this if in a container). Since the OOTB gitlab.com runners are a root-user linux VM (i think?) this approach should work quite well. SquashFS images are a great fit for node_modules especially as it moves the creation of the zillions of tiny files to cache-creation time rather than cache-use time. If you share the cache images via a hostPath mount or similar for existing images you can effectively make caches available in 0 seconds (just mount an already downloaded image and done).
Roblox Is Down Again
Performance is worse than a 3060 with basically the same tdp.

Let's not pretend it's about games. Most workloads see 3060 level performance, basically anything except editing video in prores and ML workloads that require a lot of memory.
The article didn't say anything about whether the person was on foot or in a vehicle. I assumed they were in a vehicle because that's the way people would spray bullets into random houses in the neighborhoods I grew up in, precisely because it's enormously less risky, for precisely the reasons described above.

I’m sorry but this sounds more like dating and not being able to find your perfect match.
If you want your perfect job, then fight for it. Put in the long hours and grind starting at an ok position while working your way up the ladder until you have the authority to create the environment you are seeking.
Complaining about this right now where you are a low man on a totem pole gets you no farther than you were yesterday.

I wish you all the best. Pick your head up, find a position that suits your skills and has room for promotion..and begin grinding harder than the engineer next to you.

Good luck!

The issue with solar is not the storage from day to night, but the storage from summer to winter.
It's not an issue of the amount of data, it's an issue of latency, both to query and to update. A reasonable latency budget for reads is single-digit milliseconds. A reasonable latency budget for writes is single- or double-digit seconds. You just can't do that in a global permissionless distributed system.
The COE is in progress.
The evidence relies on self-reporting. If use of force data resulting in death has proven to be inaccurate than what reliability can be expected when we’re talking about an unjustified assault?
I personally think people misunderstand this story. It's not a Lehman like structural issue.

It's a consumer confidence issue in the Chinese real estate bubble and public finance issue relating to how Chineee municipalities finance normal operations via land sales through special purpose vehicles.

Basically if Chinese people stop believing houses are an endless fountain of money they Chinese government is in an enormous mess and this seems to be a step towards that happening.
So there should be no minimum requirements for insulation for example since that's not really a safety issue or for pipe diameters etc.? There are a ton of things in building codes that are modern industry best practices that have nothing or very little to do with safety.

While building codes sometimes get implemented overly slavishly with old retrofits, in general requiring contractors/builders to meet minimum industry best practices is a good thing given that otherwise it's even more caveat emptor than it already is.

And, of course, any subsequent buyer has very little idea what standards the house was built to. (Which they may not anyway with older houses but at least codes are a start.)

That is a great idea, but then the challenge is to find the people to teach such a class. But really, great idea, I'll reflect on what such a class would look like. I'm amazed it doesn't exist already tbh.

> I’m saying that both parties that are waging war are equally responsible for the war being an ongoing conflict. It doesn’t matter who’s right and who’s wrong, it matters that both parties are conducting warfare.

But it does matter. And the two sides aren't fighting the same way or doing all the same things. If you have one person shooting at another and the other throws a rock back, it isn't sufficient at that point to say, "See, they're both fighting. If that rock thrower would just stop throwing rocks we would have peace."

The deplorable thing is an interesting case. Clinton was actually giving Republican voters credit (and she wasn't making a public announcement). She was saying a small minority are in the "basket of deplorables", by which she meant white supremacists and such. She was saying the rest were reasonable, so Trump wouldn't win. But the right seized on it. They are the ones who made it a big story. It was their bloody shirt. They wanted to fight. They wanted the people she hadn't been referring to at all to be insulted. Fox News, the elephant in the room, is working 24/7 to make sure their audience feels insulted and belittled. There is nothing the left can do unilaterally to get them to stop because they are unconstrained by honesty or fairness and THEY WANT TO FIGHT. That's the whole point.

And moreover, what Hillary Clinton said is not even close to as insulting, as vilifying, as what goes on in the right wing bubble all the time. They promote a conspiracy theory in which the left are pedophiles, murderers, and rapists. Their leader promotes violence, says cops should rough up protestors. And these are supposed to be equal? You're comparing a gnat to an elephant and saying to the gnat, "You're the problem!"

Sure, we need to stop fighting, and that's what the left has tried to do innumerable times. That's what Clinton tried to do, and then Obama, and now Biden: turn down the heat. But it doesn't matter what they do if the right hears about it only through the mouthpieces in their bubble who are intent on keeping the heat as high as possible. Unlike the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal you can't protect yourself from belligerent propagandists by covering your head with a towel. They have agency too.
No, I would argue that it’s a terrible slogan for other reasons completely unrelated to whether or not they actually fed shit to children.

Top Black-Led Venture Capital Funds – The Definitive List for 2022
I think Cyberpunk might have faired a little better on criticism if it hadn't been teased along to the public for most of a decade. That level of buildup set expectations pretty high. Combine that with a few things they weren't able to deliver and an extremely buggy launch... Well, I don't think people would have been quite so vocal. The PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn was highly anticipated but as far as I was following things Sony kept it low key. When the launch flopped with graphical glitches, unplayable bugs etc., I didn't see the same level of vitriol.

Yes, more specifically after Java 8u191 you need to flag the client with:
-Dcom.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustURLCodebase=true
-Dcom.sun.jndi.rmi.object.trustURLCodebase=true

While RCE is not possible without these flags, you will still get pingback, in minecraft's example, allowing you to get the IP of everyone connected.

Being freely able to do X or not do X is "multiparadigm". But being told you must choose to either do X, or not do X, and either way obviously you lose access to all the software that expects the opposite, also by the way there are several more choices like this to make - is not "multiparadigm" it's schismatic.

C++ has become lots of little silos of people using dialects that are in practice mutually unintelligible with other C++ dialects. Hence as I said the concern of the committee about this problem. What's the purpose of a "standard" which doesn't standardise anything?

But to be sure, Linus could create yet another silo.

And for implicit allocation, like I said, Rust for Linux did the work. C++ practitioners didn't. Linus isn't going to take something that doesn't exist just because its fans say if it did exist it would be suitable.

> most commenters apparently would prefer to pay for the game

I think, at this point, this is known - but it's limited to certain segments of the audience. A lot of gamers have happily dropped hundreds of dollars on Paradox titles (keeping up with the DLCs) without ever feeling that gut wrenching guilt you get from interacting with freemium systems - even while outspending the average user by a large margin.

Freemium games have several really big flaws that have come to prominence lately - one of the biggest comes into play with competitive games. If the game has no acquisition cost then bans are really hard to enforce so cheating can be extremely common.

> code and audio samples are never available, and verbal descriptions always skip crucial details. I have no doubt that academics have a ton of expertise, but their output in paper form is basically unusable,

It doesn't have to be this way. Here's the process I use in my lab:

1. Every paper that makes a claim of any kind based on code contains a link to a public Git repo.

2. The paper contains the Git hash identifying the exact commit used to justify the claim. Copy-paste it from the paper into your checkout.

3. The repo may have moved on with fixes and improvements, you can have those too.

If you are using version control already, it's not much work to do this. Of course, you have to be committed to making your code public.
Windows absolutely does unless you turn User Account Control off. This has been part of the operating system since Vista.
There is no ultimate meaning of life.
Agreed. If people aren’t chasing after you then you have done something wrong along the way. Learn and adapt. Ask yourself “what did I not convince them of that they didn’t hire me on the spot?”
> Maybe true in SF and other progressive cities, but I’m doubtful this is the norm across all police departments.

Hypothesizing too few good cops in progressive cities, and implying (happily assuming) there are plenty of good cops in conservative areas to keep checks and balances? Color me unconvinced.

> The problem is people are treating all cops the same.

The phrase "a bad apple spoils the barrel" absolutely applies in fraternistic, spartan settings of indoctrination such as "the brotherhood". Yes cops literally call it that; the dominant culture has most people in the course of their duties acting tough by cosplaying military with looser rules of engagement, and other impressionable folks fall into a similar pattern to be accepted by a community that they hold in respect (their brothers, not the citizenry). If you are relatively free-thinking, you are filtered out at the application level. If you somehow slip through, you have no power to make real change. We know this from countless examples of those who left the force after seeing obscene behavior. Chris Dorner's case is the most prominent recent example I can think of right now.
Cannot agree with this more.

Single cloud has a few extraordinary benefits for slow moving organizations.

Once you hang up the sign and declare "we are an xxx shop" it becomes an extraordinarily effective tool to drag unsophisticated employees and departments into the future.

"Microsoft said we have to do this so we have to" overcomes a LOT of internal barriers to technical change.

The biggest problems are never technology in large organizations, it's the humans beings anxiously protecting their overpaid managerial role. Single cloud is amazingly effective at improving the human factor.

At more sophisticated places with a bigger human appetite for innovation of course it's a different story.
So its Github Codespaces except you are trapped on their cloud?

My experience (and the experience of thousands of others) is that in practice, an approach like Tailwind is much more maintainable, even if it's superficially ugly.

At the end of the day it's a lot easier to understand what's happening in a template where you can see all of the styles directly attached to each node instead of having to map things together in your head across multiple files.

For example, for me at least I can't believe how much more difficult it is to look at your average CodePen demo and understand what is doing what at a glance vs. looking at a Tailwind template. With traditional CSS there is just _so_ much indirection in comparison.
I don't think minecraft has enough features to replace the likes of instagram or facebook. Most people aren't gamers.
It's for Browser extensions. Chrome extensions (and also Firefox and Safari). a fail called the "Manifest" that tells Chrome and the extension about the extension and contains all it's permission requests. Eg: "This extensions wants to modify all webpages", which is what ad blockers need to do.

Going forward extensions in the Chrome Web store will have to use Manifest v3. Which has less capabilities than previous version. Which will stop ad blockers working.

tl;dr. Ad blockers will not longer be possible in Chrome.
Avatars Don’t Poop but You Can Be Sure the Metaverse Will Have Toilets
I'm sure it's very nice to use (I've been learning it in the past week), and I think it's a great alternative to Bootstrap. Personally, I'm not fully sold on it as a 100% alternative to styling with css (not least because you can't do pseudo element styling and have to add another node to the DOM). As someone who knows CSS, when I look at a template which uses tailwind I get overwhelmed because I have to mentally process what the 20 classes per node do in combination, where as I can look at a CSS module and (usually) instantly understand what's going on. Sure, once you've done a few tutorials and installed the VSCode extension you'll be able to find out what they do, but the code becomes almost unreadable for people not familiar with Tailwind.
As a Python infra person, I would refine that to:

If you're building an application, use Poetry. If you're building a library, use Flit. Use PEP621 metadata in pyproject.toml regardless.

Poetry is much more focused on managing dependencies for applications than dealing with libraries that have to be used by other libraries or applications. See this deep discussion for some timely/relevant examples: https://iscinumpy.dev/post/bound-version-constraints/
This is an interesting ammunition. A sabot for sure but the flat/concave face keeps it out of the shotgun acting like a rifle scenario. Thank you for directing me to this.

How Do You Tell the World That Doomsday Has Arrived?
Sorry. My knowledge of the data governance space is almost nil, and my knowledge of data catalog products isn't much better.

Pournelle's "Iron law of bureaucracy" comes close...

I don’t think the “companies” are cashing out. Individuals are cashing out because of pending legislation that raises capital gains taxes. The effect of taxes is to discourage activities that generate taxes to some extent, and this is the effect in action. These people believe they have other, better ways to make money. Or maybe they will simply reinvest back into the same stocks but not have their past gains subject to this new tax rate as a result. I don’t think it is some purposeful funneling of money in the malicious way you’re hinting at.
The campaign is awesome; and same with Mulitplayer. The only issue with multiplayer for me, is that there are only a couple maps, and pretty much no PUG's really play the objectives.

Otherwise, it's doing Halo type stuff in an open world + grappling hook is elicits the same type of fun we all had playing Halo CE at lans.

I'm not the biggest Halo fan by any stretch; the last Halo I completed was Halo3; only playing a couple hours of 4, Guardians, Reach, and never touching ODST and HaloWars(1 & 2), but I'm hooked on playing the campaign on Legendary.

I am playing it on the Series X; not my PC.
Extreme partisan polarization in US politics is normal; people just forgot because of the long New Deal + Civil Rights realignments of 1932 to about 1994, which resulted in an unusually long period where the (still very strong) ideological polarization in our political system did not cleanly map to the divide between the two major parties. The era of “bipartisanship” wasn't free of ideological divides (civil rights, anti-war movement, etc.) its just that those divisive issues cut across the parties.

As far as we know, the Wire version is still logically centralised, using a centralised sequencing server.

On the Matrix side we’re working on fully decentralising it (as per https://matrix.uhoreg.ca/mls/ordering.html). There’s also a cool similar project from Matthew Weidner: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3460120.3484542

It’s a bit perplexing that mnot’s draft cites XMPP as decentralised, given MUCs are very much centralised to a single provider which entirely controls that conversation, and if that provider goes down the conversation is dead. But I guess that’s because XMPP is submitted to the IETF, and Matrix isn’t yet.
