> This doesn't explain why they wouldn't accept the offer of work from /u/lopkeny12ko.

I believe the manager explains it right after that. They have compliance reasons that not just anyone can access this codebase. It's also possible that the manager has acquiesced to types of requests before and it was a mess — new engineer doesn't understand they system, requirements of its scale (note that this is a new engineer from a startup so the world that they are familiar with is not this one), and either 1) needs hand-holding 2) has code that doesn't meet their standards and requires extensive code review back-and-forth.

There are many reasons why, "let me into your codebase" isn't a priority for the team you're talking to. Many legitimate, reasonable reasons.

> It doesn't sound to me like they're taking advantage of your skills.

Working as part of a large organization _is_ a skill. One that the OP doesn't seem to have. Which is understandable; they themselves said that they have always worked at startups. You can't walk into an entirely different context with challenges you're not familiar with, then expect to behave the same way and get the results you're used to.
How do so many coins offer absurd APRs for staking?
> What should I do?

The obvious solution: if it drives you nuts, quit.

If you don't plan to go that route, do two things you:

1) tell your direct superior (in writing)

2) whenever you get asked "why aren't you done with this migration", answer "we're blocked by $X" with a reference to their issue tracker / ticket system / whatever.

... and then work on something else.
Hey, just what you see pal.

At least in this case, maybe as legislators get older they'll become more friendly to the idea.
Wow. That is a huge repository.

You can also force it to write all file content (blobs) out to temporary files rather than keeping them in memory by reading the stream from standard input:

reposurgeon "read -" … <dump.svn

That will be slower and use more disk space, but maybe it will fit.
I worked at Citi for a while and this pain sounds familiar. It once took me 6 months of hounding an MD to get approval for my app to connect to a particular database.

It sounds like you're very motivated and presumably talented, but the organizational friction doesn't really allow for your blessings to shine.

On the other hand, this is the reality for many many people and many many dollars. It's a great opportunity to both develop empathy for a kind of user you never imagined (all those people trapped in these processes for life) and to learn new ways to excel, within the context you're currently in.

When I was at Citi I learned a lot about communicating with stakeholders and fostering internal relationships which has been very useful in my career. Maybe you can find the same there ?
Mid-size companies are where it's at.

The huge ones (1k+ employees) are way too big and unwieldy and you'll get lost in the bureaucracy and get fed up with all the people promoted based on the Peter Principle. Good stuff if you want a peaceful-ish place to work at, maybe you have small kids at home and just want to work 9-5 and bring zero work home.

In small ones (dozens) you tend to become the smartest person in the room too quickly, you also usually need to be a jack of all trades and have very little advancement options. On the other hand you can do all the cool stuff and break stuff =) Work-life balance usually doesn't exist.

Mid size corps (hundreds of employees, but way under 1k) are the sweet spot in my opinion. Large enough to have some structure, small enough to not have too much red tape if you need to get stuff done. You can also do lateral moves easier, change specialties or maybe even get some team leading experience.
The public hotspot systems are actually much "worse" in terms of the overheads the author wrote about.

With a couple of unused SSIDs, they're just sending out a simple 802.11 beacon frame every so often and that's it. The energy cost and disruption to surrounding networks/channels must be minimal.

With a hotspot, not only do you have regular network traffic flowing and causing more potential interference, your router/modem is also using more power to process the traffic and modulate that signal into the wireline side. At least one estimate I found would be around $23/year of 24/7 use of the hotspot network (it may be less with newer hardware, article is from 2014) https://www.extremetech.com/computing/185560-new-report-illu...
Why is there only one IA?

Why is IA not globally distributed, like a CDN?

I use IA for "problem" websites, e.g., ones that rely on SNI, i.e., ones hosted at certain CDNs. I simply add add these sites to a list and the local proxy does the rest.

http-request set-uri https://web.archive.org/web/1if_/http://%[req.hdr(host)]%[pathq] if { hdr(host) -m str -f list }

IA "hosts" an enormous number of sites without the need for SNI (plaintext hostnames sent over the wire).

EDIT: @sebow the way they (re)format the HTML is less friendly to the text-only browser I use.

You could try removing it from Google as well (I believe they have a process for this?)
Don't kinkshame.
You try developing deep learning - neural networks models on an OK consumer Desktop !!!!!!!! My PCIe3 Core I 9 based system with a NVIDIA 1080 TI with 16 GB of RAM on the GPU and with 16 GB of RAM takes Days to train models with only 180K training samples.
So I am pricing Motherboards, and GPU's that are PCIe4
When I developed Database software that computing power was not needed.
Now that I am doing deep learning with 12 bit per pixel medical images I have SSD's32 GB of MainBoard RAM, and preferably a 16 GB GPU JUST FOR THE DEEP LEARNING and use the mainboard or another GPU for the display so x570 mainboards are my goto mother boards
This might work better with government jobs than private sector, and it feels like public sector policymakers trying to manage businesses like they manage the government. Government jobs are more likely to have tight wage bands and strict requirements. The private sector will "figure something out" for a p90 candidate.

Since candidates will always ask for the top of the band, I'd expect either very tight bands and candidates get moved to "more appropriate" openings or bands covering 3 standard deviations so employers can claim the range is in good faith, but still leave room for negotiation.
Matt touches on further topics as well here, the rest of the title includes "Also Web3, drug-trial insider trading and Olive Garden NFTs."
The Matrix Resurrections Takes Back the Red Pill
Yeah, but my point (and I kinda knew someone would give me flack for the examples) was that there's a massive disparity between different EU countries, so comparing Canada to an EU-average (15, 28, 27?) is unlikely to prove useful.
Machine to Play Game of Nim (1940) [pdf]
There are lots of people who can specialize though; being the person who can bridge specializations (or determine what specialization even applies) is incredibly valuable. It's hard to reconcile that with our society's typical examples of success, but it's still valuable!
I'm the one who made the original observation of the hidden network in the TP-link forum: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/170160

Took a long time until TP-Link offered a firmware update to disable the mesh functionality. Happy to see the issue mentioned here.
... These sardaukars are still salty after the freemen defeated them using weirding modules.
I've always been confused by the situation with Realtek Linux drivers.

Does anyone know why they are not contributing to the kernel directly? (Just a guess: their drivers are from the same codebase as the Windows driver and use a bunch of abstraction layers that wouldn't be acceptable in Linux)
You don't even need Windows named pipes. Windows supports AF_UNIX since 10.
Moving slow isn't bad? Try mentioning that at the next standup.
Curiously enough, it took me a while to find the current Republic of Moldova on this map. The country labeled "Moldavia" as shown is only about 50% of the old Principality of Moldova - from the 14th century until 1812 it used to extend about the same amount to the east - called Basarabia - and well into what this map labels as the Russian empire.

And while the depicted Moldavia region joined others to create the modern day Romania, its eastern part, Basarabia, only managed to rejoin Romania for 20 years in the late 19th century, and 20 years in the early 20th century, before being annexed yet again, until it finally became the modern Republic of Moldova. In the process, 50% of the native Romanian population was purposefully displaced.

The side effects of this occupation are very much felt even today. Moldovans still struggle with their national identity. Politicians frequently engage in bike-shedding and love to stir up 'state language' controversy to detract from real economic issues, corruption and poverty. There's enormous Russian influence over the region and interests to keep the country busy being poor and in turmoil.

These days I fear that if Russia invades Ukraine, they won't stop at the border with the Republic of Moldova, they'll annex Basarabia like they did in 1812 and again in 1940, to restore the 'glorious' Russian empire of the 19th century.

Wow, my home region (Ore Mountains in Germany) is basically Google Maps quality down to unique buildings (ok not quite, more like "Google Maps when it was new"). At least judging by the historical buildings that still exist.
Show HN: WikiAccents, an Audio Repository for the World's Spoken Languages
Hi HN, long time lurker, first time poster. I created this wiki with the goal of having it store audio files for any conceivable language, with respect to city or region - ideally, if the site were fully fleshed out, one could browse through the languages, listen to a native Vietnamese speaker from Hanoi, another from Ho Chi Minh City, and another from Huế, and distinguish the difference between Northern, Southern, and Central Vietnamese dialects, except with enough audio files, have this process be extended out to every region on Earth. I'm still in the process of seeding the Wiki with languages from other regions; I'm currently gathering English/Yoruba/Pidgin/Igbo from Nigeria, Vietnamese/English from Vietnam, and Swahili/English/Local dialects from Kenya. After that I'm moving on to India and Latin America. Currently, I mostly have audio files from China, but it should be enough to give you the gist of the project. Open to any questions. Thanks.
The simpler explanation would be producers redirecting their gas to a higher priced market. I can't shake the idea that there's a non-zero chance of this being mitigation to a looming crisis with Russia.
I didn't understand that part. Sure, a conventional demolition, where debris is carted off to the landfill wouldn't work in this case. But surely onsite burning would do the trick?
Once you've built all the belts to carry iron to your furnaces, the plates to your circuit assemblies, the circuits to your Adv. Circuits, your Adv. Circuits to processing units, and processing units into speed-modules, and speed modules into Rocket Control Units...

There's nothing to do but wait for your machination to launch the rocket.

-------

Now its a game to set all of that up. But its also a game to reach space exploration in Universal Paperclips to build your universe-wide paperclip factory. There's a lot of intricate steps you need to do to go from a humble "click this button to make paperclip" into conquering the universe.

Have you tried speed-running Universal Paperclips?

EDIT: The core loop is IMO, surprisingly close to Factorio. In Factorio, you mine iron to make plates, you use plates to make assembly machines. Assembly machines can then make new miners, and then you can place the miners to make more iron and accelerate yourself.

In universal paperclips, you click the "buy wire" button to get wires. You click the paperclip button to make a paperclip. You sell the paperclip to get money. The money can be used to buy more wires, and auto-cutters. The auto-cutters make more paperclips allowing you to buy more wire / auto-cutters / sell more paperclips.

In both cases, the game "closes the loop", your inputs become outputs, and the outputs feed back in to accelerate the speed at which you consume inputs.

---------

In theory, you can launch the rocket in Factorio by right-clicking on the mine and doing nearly everything manually. (There's a few exceptions: engines and oil can only be done by machines... but the point remains that you can do a significant portion of the game "dumbly")

Similarly, you can theoretically conquer the universe by clicking on enough wires in Universal paperclips. (Not really because the numbers are so big that you'd never get there. But it could happen).

But any decent "speedrunner" will optimize for the best route: which items to buy in which order to maximize the rate of return and accelerate towards the endgame.
I had lots of fun developing Black and White film with commercial chemicals. They are cheap enough, but do expire. Caffenol works reasonably well, and because it's made from dry ingredients doesn't really go off.

The main issues I had were around the reels for loading film ready for the tank. 26-frame rolls were usually fine, but 26-frame often buckled. Stainless Steel reels were much worse and stuck together. For sale if anyone is interested!
Perfectly normal; a lot of big companies are broken - but... sometimes you can find an interesting/sane part of a big company; you could try and get yourself internally transferred to a sane part.
I've seen whole teams from a startup move inside the big company away from the part that organised their purchase since they were so broken.
Or just leave; the big company owes you nothing [or if it does at given specific dates, just hang in for those and plan your escape]
I might be misunderstanding the service you are suggesting here, but are you suggesting printing a physical book containing a bunch of saved blogs, articles and twitter threads?
If so, the number of articles that I would want to have them physically printed are very few, if any.

But on the other hand if you mean a book as in making a small little ebook, that I could read on my phone offline, I would be interested in a service like that. It would also depend on how the articles and blog posts are extracted, as in, if the blog is technical in nature with code snippets and stuff will the ebook version have that too.
300+ days of sun is awful. I'm not even joking. No seasons, no thanks!
Any plan on developing a database tool? I think it would be a great complement to Sublime Text and Sublime Merge.

I believe Sublime HQ could really bring something in this space, because there are some good existing ones but none are great. Sublime DB could be great :)
This is something I always ponder. My country (Nigeria) has a relatively low incarceration rate -- 33 in 100,000 [1] -- compared to let's say America -- 639 per 100,000! [2] --but I wouldn't say we're more safe,in fact we're facing a high wave of insecurity and banditry.

Part of the reason is that we can't even afford a suitable correctional and judiciary system. Here, most cases such as theft, assault get settled at the police station (precinct) by dialogue between the affected parties, and bail, cough bribe paid. Maybe our relative poverty favors us this way, because honestly I'll never wish my worst enemy to spend time in a Nigerian prison, it's horrible.

As a side note, the Central African Republic is the country with the lowest incarceration rate [3] and it's a major warzone.

The problem with prediction markets is that information is not equally distributed amongst participants, and vote "weight" needs to be adjusted based upon proximity to information as well as rational, objective decision-making criteria.

Otherwise you can run into self-fulfilling prophesies, where fascination with gloom-and-doom scenarios become rampant. Imagine the "QAnon-ization" of a "predictive market." Or, conversely, the positive feedback loop that would result in a tulipmania, or the kind of crypto-coin goldbugs' "Going to the moon."

In other words, you have to account for bad faith actors in a predictive market, manipulations to it, and inherent biases.

"Incentivizing" the "right" behavior doesn't work if people are unswayable from preset biases and presumptions.

Recall the debacle with Policy Analysis Market (PAM) from 2003:

• News: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna3072985

• Paper on the PAM: https://watermark.silverchair.com/itgg.2007.2.3.73.pdf?token...

(EDIT) Last note: Predictive markets tend to fail worst when trying to model for stochastic events — like terrorist attacks — which are inherently probabilistic, but not predictable. I use the analogy: "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, BANANA!" How would you have predicated that based on prior data?
If this was true all the wall companies would be out of business.

Two issues that come to mind are (1) keeping the lights on while otherwise shutting off the vehicle and (b) ensuring that the lights don't all get smashed to bits in the accident.
Yeah, I see how the quoting complications make CLMUL pretty hard to use (or just useless). I have a few ideas about how to deal with the quoting/escaping, and if I get some free time in the near future I'll try and code something up.

I've also pinged Geoff and Daniel on Twitter, linking your library: https://mobile.twitter.com/zwegner/status/147340073352554497... ...maybe they'll have some ideas. (Geoff has mentioned that he had done some initial work on a simdcsv)

I'll also drop some more links that you might've already seen, but could be useful otherwise.
For removing double quotes, rather than memmove, you could use the "pack left" operation on vectors. There's a handful of ways to do this pre-AVX-512-VBMI2 (where the magical vcompressb instruction was added), like in these SO questions:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36932240/avx2-what-is-th...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45506309/efficient-sse-s...

And for keeping the main lexer structure that ZSV uses now, but using a small DFA to maintain the lexer state, this other trick from Geoff might work: https://branchfree.org/2018/05/25/say-hello-to-my-little-fri...
I guess you could set it up that way, but then you create the problem of competing authorities - it's the same problem that the internet has with DNS. At some point, it has to have a single source of truth. The blockchain itself isn't enough when what is recorded on the blockchain is potentially not what the actors intended (or is what a criminal intended in a fraud scheme).
What do you mean by stretching?
I have been more than happy with both my tp-link AX50 and tp-link AX11000.

It's the same principle as junk bonds. The less people believe that their principle will be recovered, the higher the APR to incentivize buyers. If some $100 coin offers you 100% APR, you best believe it's not likely that your original coin is still going to be worth $100 at the end of the year. More likely you'll have 2 coins worth $50 each now.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give that a try!

And yes, some of our repositories are huge. This one is about 240 GB, and comprises multiple projects/products.

Our "most important" repository is only 313,000 revisions, but those revisions take up 93 GB, so it's a not-insubstantial repository as well.
Apologies for being off-topic and possibly absurd question - could the binary lc be considered a concatenative language?
My uncle once told me the story of how he learned not to ignore these signs. He survived a coconut hitting his head while he was relaxing in the half shade provided by the palm.

The locals referred to him as the man with the head stronger than a coconut. But he was really lucky, that the coconut had not hung higher up.

When retelling the story he really always emphasized how damn lucky he was to have survived this.

I mean sure there is "some" truth to it. But more likely than not the acquiring company has two conflicting priorities:

1. acquire startups/talent to improve certain things that the company is incompetent at

2. actively block efforts from the startup because a certain part of the company actually believes that they are doing things better themselves, i.e. ego

I advised a big US car maker on their autonomy and one part of the company actually took 8 months to acquire PC's to do machine learning with(which then ran into a supply shortage further delaying it) and 5 months to upload test data to s3. It's not that they weren't working on it. They had meetings every week.

You give them too much credit. Of course there is probably also that one guy actually implementing in the middle of the 20 people that just talk who's plate is completely full. But that doesn't stop those companies from hiring 20 PMs with their own agendas to manage that one guy.

If you really need the money keep working there. If not either force change it and get fired or run away.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Tuple, it blows all the other tools in this space out of the water. Used it for several months while working on a compilers project back in college, and over many many hours of usage it was rock solid. The latency is so low you practically feel like you’re in the same room as the person you’re communicating with. And the UI/UX is very thoughtful and intuitive, making it easy to point things out to your pair, take control when necessary, etc.

I’d highly recommend checking it out.
No one likes gear.
> Did Edward Snowden do something wrong?

Yes and it was still quite likely the correct choice/approach (how he went about it) in terms of the overall benefit to privacy globally (which seems to have been his aim).

Snowden could have attempted a few other legal approaches to being a whistleblower. The risk would have been far higher they would have buried him and the information in one form or another; they certainly would have tried. And even if he had succeeded through that channel, less information would have gotten out about what they were doing.

Doing something wrong doesn't always lead to a bad outcome or vice versa, there is no inherently fixed link there. Doing something right doesn't always lead to a good/positive outcome for example, that's one example I think more people can very easily relate to; and for the same reason that's true, the exact opposite is true.
I'm guessing the story is overall similar to how gigabit ethernet was ~ten years ago: Use Intel if you want working hardware and drivers that actually achieve line-rate throughput. Back then the RTL chips were a trashfire and couldn't do gigabit even on Windows. Nowadays the RTL chips can do that. And here we are again with bad / proprietary network drivers for RTL chips.
