The highest level of mastery is realizing how much you don't know and that nobody knows anything compared to what there is to know.

Beyond the feeling of unease that comes from the above realization, who is the voice the back of your mind who is critical of your code or your technical decisions? Is it an old voice from childhood, a parent or a teacher, or is it current, your peers for example? These voices are sometimes triggered by events going on in your life, work related or not.

Is it really your code or is it that you don't work in a supportive environment? Perhaps someone is gunning for your job and being subtly critical in ways that are getting to you.

You might want to look at "egoless programming" and work on getting your ego out of your code and into the competitive workplace where it is more relevant.

This rings true.. I was a CTO of a startup growing to $10x M company, and now am the CTO of an $100x M company, and the envelope of work is very very different.

I spend far more time thinking about, researching about, and developing about what we will do in 2-3 years, instead of 2-3 months.
The Betrayal of Roe
I hope no startups learn that lesson, but instead hone their products with quick turnaround from users and then when they have achieved marked fit then offer to sell their product to enterprise companies for a massive fee. And by package I mean they deliver some servers with Kubernetes on it and run the same software they run in the cloud.

If a startup tries to sell to the enterprise they are likely to die before they make enough in sales and enterprise concerns (such as on prem >> price) aren't usually shared with normal businesses.

Not saying you can't make a fortune selling overpriced products to large companies (hello Oracle) but it isn't a game for a start up.

In our experience the weird lab origin controversy was broadly limited to the US and to a lesser extent the UK, and probably caused by your rather idiosyncratic politics at the moment. For most of the rest of the world it was never that big an issue, with expert opinion broadly saying that it was plausible but on balance of probabilities the virus's origin was probably zoonotic as with SARS-1.

It really didn't matter that much, beyond the discussion that if proven we should be improving lab security, but that sort of improvement should be happening anyway.

I suspect in the US & UK it was inflamed by two things:
1. A political desire from certain groups to blame China for the pandemic.
2. Some confusion and conflation early on between the lab leak hypothesis and the fringe conspiracy theory of COVID-19 as being a Chinese 'bioweapon'.

Whatever the cause, it wasn't a universal controversy.
This one will be another talking point right beside the "arbitrary code execution in SNES games via controller inputs" as a rebuke to arguments about even small systems (like an image decompressor) being "made secure".

Those medical experts should look at themselves for why people react this way.

An absolute refusal to accept any legal liability for harms done by the product, whilst simultaneously insisting it's perfectly safe? Check.

Claims that anyone worried about long term effects is a crazy malicious person when Moderna was failing to progress beyond animal trials due to multi-dose toxicity as recently as 2017? Check. [2]

Fanatical insistence on forced vaccination, even when the logical basis for mandates has been invalidated by equal infectiousness? Check. [1]

Constantly shifting claims about effectiveness, invalidated within months yet all presented with absolute confidence? Check.

Insistence that nobody look at the database of injuries and papers which do so should be retracted, despite it existing specifically to be analyzed? Check.

A million different non-vaccine explanations for the sudden spike in public heart attacks, none of which are remotely plausible? Check.

We could go on for many pages of this. The medical/public health establishment has consistently wrecked their own credibility and acted in untrustworthy, suspicion-raising ways. They don't then get to make a sad face and say "but sci fi". Let us know when Pfizer/Moderna can be taken to court for injuries and deaths caused by their sci-fi tech, and interest will grow.

Depending on the problem, it may be you need to experiment, research or call in an external expert. As a leader, you may need to make the call as to which approach but the execution itself should be handled by the problem owner.
Even if you knew what to do, convincing the naturally suspicious people back then to trust a strange outsider would be tricky. Then you have to get the right materials.

If I were a bit more clever, or maybe if I was 50 years older and had played with this kind of stuff growing up, I'd probably try to make a spark-gap transmitter. That seems to be in a sweet spot of not requiring too many super clever bits, and having obvious applications.
Also, can we create hashes that are not CSA and match CSA?

https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/12/15271874/ai-adversarial-i...

If we can, then, hypothetically we need to get non-CSA images onto important people's iPhones so they get arrested, jailed for years and have their lives ruined by Apple.

>I had one job where there was a lot of technical debt, but my manager did not respect me and my colleagues had what was basically a "learned helplessness" attitude. So I'd go around trying really hard to make things better, but everyone responded to me like I was just crazy or naive or didn't know what I was talking about.

Heh, the job I just left had a team like this.

I'd bring up ideas _for discussion_ all the time, at the very least to make my team members reconsider how we handle certain things. Even if my idea weren't the accepted one, we really had good reasons to improve our status quo. Yet just like what happened for you, when I'd call out some issue or situation the response from the team was that I misunderstood something or was crazy or etc. It gave me a lot of self-doubt, but I'd also bring up the issues to a senior engineer and he'd agree that usually my topics were worthy of at least some discussion since they had the potential to become improvements.

Khat and coffee are stimulants but cathinone and caffeine are starkly different. The intent is to avoid substances that can be distilled or processed into products that cause significant harms, like stimulant psychosis or death by vasoconstriction.

Coca, khat, and ephedra are plants traditionally chewed, resulting in a mild stimulant effect from doses of cocaine, cathinone, or ephedrine(an amphetamine analog.) Those plants are processed to get pure cocaine, various "bath salts" and amphetamines.

Coffee is boring in that regard. Caffeine just kills you or makes you incredibly uncomfortable as doses get higher. The others can be consumed in concentrated forms that alter health and behavior outcomes in a huge way. Under their model, it does make sense to ban qat/khat but not coffee.

Despite that, what we need is better education about drugs and substance use. Legalize everything and divert a portion of the enforcement and bureaucratic budgets to health and education. Stop criminalizing and stigmatizing users, creating black markets and enforcing ignorance. The harms of prohibition and the drug war are about as obvious as anything can be... so let's stop digging and crawl out of this goddamn hole already.

Inflation should raise interest rates which would then help savers and discourage borrowing due to higher interest costs. Furthermore, it would pressure housing and asset prices lower making them more affordable while also pressuring wages higher. Seems better than the current climate.
> iMessage has native support for GIF images, the typically small and low quality animated images popular in meme culture. You can send and receive GIFs in iMessage chats and they show up in the chat window. Apple wanted to make those GIFs loop endlessly rather than only play once,

Any chat or message software you want to be REALLY secure should not have support for rich media of any type. I am even suspicious and skeptical that Signal supports embedding animated images.

I can name exploits of this type on desktop PC operating systems going back probably 22-23 years...

I do realize that lack of rich media inline in messages is a non starter for most non-technical consumer end users.

Joking aside, this does illustrate the "magical" properties of technology to the layperson. As a corollary, failure modes end up quite suprising and hard to reason about without a certain amount of proficiency in these technologies.

No, it just means that they've found vulnerabilities that can be triggered without user interaction. This is entirely doable by just fuzzing or reverse engineering the released iOS binaries.

> You might be better served by actually looking how X11 works, with quirks and what it was originally designed for, I promise you that your hair will stand on end.

You are confusing things. Where can you "interfere" with the renderer? What you can do is _replace_ the renderer. This is one extension point Wayland _forces_ on you, so what is your complain exactly?

Manipulating things around using the ways provided for things to be manipulated is not a quirk. The server allows other processes to render to windows they don't own because this is how you implement decorations and the like. The server allows you to read the contents of windows you don't own because this is how you implement screen grabbers and color pickers. The server allows any two processes connected to it to communicate in any way because that is how clipboards and things like that are implemented. This is all by design.

And that is the problem. If all of this was still possible with Wayland (WITHOUT having to patch the compositor), I'm certain there won't be as many complains.

But no; they tried to fix "security" (for some definition of security) at the same time and thus had to spend a decade to see any hint of adoption. And face a lot of resistance.

At least fetch the UNIX haters handbook if you want to see a minimally valid criticism to X...

> but it was known to be easy. Hugely easy.

Still is. Wayland or not. Therefore: Yes, I will downplay this issue.

You would need an even more radical design to make it not trivial on Linux (e.g. passing individual input device descriptors to the process owning the focused window or the like, and then make each process a different user or god knows). Basically: something like Qubes (which used to do it with X11). And then face all the "it's not working!" complains because you break even more things.
More good JIT tutorials can also be found in the PyPy ecosystem, which provides tooling to add JITs to any interpreter for a language implementation written with its (R)Python toolchain.

I have another problem with this. In a lot of jurisdictions virtual CSA images are legal. i.e. cartoons and images created entirely in CG.

These images can be 100% indistinguishable from the real thing. Without knowing the source of the images that they are putting in the database, how do they know the images are actually illegal?

> The Pi, despite its warts, has two things going for it: a company that devotes a lot of time to testing, documentation, and bug fixes, and an active and broad community [...]

True, but lets not forget another non trivial one: advertising. I'm lucky if I can spot a new board discussed in a few sites, while every time a new PI is launched, the news resonates like someone set their feet on Mars. If manufacturers want to build a community and have more developers/ports/bugfixes etc. they should allocate some resources where it's appropriate. Not easy since the PI is pushed by Broadcom themselves, I know.

Also, I would avoid the term "clones", which gives a bad impression of the products. There's no such thing as a Raspberry PI clone, unless having similarly placed connectors in some models counts as cloning. The hardware is (thankfully) vastly different.
Also, Broadcom doesn't sell the PI processors to anyone else ensuring that cloning them is impossible, as is building any product using the same technology, short of hosting it in the form of a compute module, which may not be the ideal/cheaper solution in many contexts.
Not a big issue since there are much more powerful platforms out there, but few know about them for the above reason.

Personally, if I see an interesting board, my 1st and 2nd stops to see if and how well they are supported are the Armbian and DietPI boards and forums (other suggestions highly welcome!).

According to our CTO, it was related to security. With Microsoft, the TFA options did not include a hardware token. So now we can authenticate with a phone call, a text message, or a security token. ( https://www.okta.com/identity-101/security-token/ )

The main advantage is that the hardware token can be used in areas where mobile phones are prohibited, and of course immunity from a SIM swap attack.

I understand that as being the main motivator but in light of the recent Supermicro and Huawei incidents, and the recent escalations between the US and China, I can't help but wonder if lots of electronics manufactured in China are being "bugged" and drones would seem to hold high potential value for surveillance
FWIW, the author is also the original author of LLVM's "lld" linker, and has written multiple C compilers.

That makes them the author of both of the two fastest linkers in existence, AFAIK. This person has a very impressive resume.

https://github.com/rui314/mold/blob/main/docs/design.md

> "Concretely speaking, I want to use the linker to link a Chromium executable (~1.8 GiB in size) just in 1 second. LLVM's lld, the fastest open-source linker which I originally created a few years ago, takes about 12 seconds to link Chromium on my machine. So the goal is 12x performance bump over lld. Compared to GNU gold, it's more than 50x."

There is good discussion as well in this prior post, and Reddit thread with the author in it a while back:

Arxiv isn’t supposed to be a badge of credibility. It’s literally the place any academic can dump a paper to have it stored free forever. Many academic papers that never make it into journals are stored there. From their homepage they say:

> Materials on this site are not peer-reviewed by arXiv

That said, they shouldn’t actively accept joke papers of course.

Deduction mechanics in games
Probably the first thing that should be acknowledged here that being good CTO isn't the same as being a good dev.

I'm not a CTO and never have been, so feel free to completely disregard my advise, but from what I've observed being a good CTO is far more about communicating effectively with the rest of the org, understanding business requirements and ensuring the development team is equipped to solve problems than being a good dev. To some extent you also need to be available to unblock devs when there are key decisions that need to made at a higher level.

In a smaller company you might need to wear multiple hats from time to time, but when you're acting as a CTO your job isn't to be a good dev and to do things the right way, but to ensure you have the right devs and architects in your team so they can tell you the right way to solve problems. The most you should be doing is approving and guiding their decisions. If you feel you have something to offer as a dev then by all means, share your opinion with the team, but your not there to be a dev, you're there to be a CTO.

It sounds like you're taking too much on honestly. You can't be expected to know everything or be an expert on everything technical problem that comes your way -- that's not what a CTO does. A CTO just needs to have a solid high-level understanding about how things come together and delegate everything else.

I think first you need to decide if you want to be a full-time CTO or a CTO who is also a developer. If you're going to continue to be a developer while being CTO then you'll probably just need to accept you're statistically unlikely to be the best developer on the team to solve every problem and therefore from time to time you're going to do things wrong and you're going to need to seek help and feedback from other devs.

For what it's worth a small-medium sized company I used to work for had a CTO who was also a dev (he was the first dev), but by the time I joined the team he was also the weakest dev there. Thing is, he acknowledged that and that's why we were there. He picked up a few dev tasks from time to time where he could and when he had time, but otherwise he would trust us to tell him the right way to solve problems and let us get on with it. He was a great CTO in my opinion, not because of his dev skills, but because he trusted us and gave us the resources we needed to get our jobs done. There were many occasions I needed help from other devs on the team or even external resources and he would always make sure that help was available to me so I could do my job well. That's your primary role as CTO in my opinion. You're not suppose to be a good dev, you're just suppose to ensure you have a team of great devs who have everything they need to be great devs.

Not enough of a nutter to argue passionately about it, but it’s not that out there. There were secret service men right behind him in a car that suddenly lurched forward after the shots were made (so a physical force could have caused the accident not just an itchy trigger finger on a guard). His wound implies behind shot from behind but placing the snipers behind hasn’t made sense ever.
Anecdotally, I’ve been ordering a bunch of stuff this year - hardkernel/radxa/friendlyarm/pine64.

Apart from PINE64, I’ve been able to get almost every board I’ve had my eyes on - in due time. They can go in and out of stock in intervals of weeks or months.

This is all ordering directly from vendors. Domestic redistributors seem to be dry all
over though. I guess you could say seeeed falls in the middle of those.

Basically if you can afford to wait and subscribe to when things come back in stock (if you’re unlucky), you’ll usually get your stuff in due time.

It takes some discipline to not be part of the problem by ordering extras just in case.

These small Asian vendors are very agile and have swapped out NICs and stuff to make up for missing components.

On the slightly more industrial side it’s ridiculous, though. Due to Intel NIC shortage, PCEngines APU has been out of stock globally for I think 6 months and the manufacturer was transparent from the beginning that it would be a year or two before they are available. I think all of 2022 is already reserved.
