great analysis.

though for 1) in a way, it IS about maximising efficiency. The recruiter wants to place candidates, and those with whom s/he has a strong human connection are more likely to convert into placements. Hence, efficiency is the ultimate driver for this behaviour
Not bullshit, but malicious compliance.
That's the price of flexibility.
typical ultrawide - 34" 3440x1440. that's 110ppi, regular density. (owning one, perfect size IMO, filling field of view almost exactly)
if you wish retina (220ppi), that'll be 7K - which is alot of pixels. Nothing like this on market though
Cloudflare Radar's 2021 Year in Review
I'm on an Asimov binge right now. Just finished Foundation and Earth. So I jumped to the scifi section of the list and saw Ready Player One on there. I found that book mildly entertaining, but not a work of great literature, and certainly not mind expanding.

I agree with your sentiment about the importance of knowing the reviewer. I think using general popularity as a gauge is a good way to get the worst recommendations.
Any books you recommend on these topics?
Here's an ARRL article from 11-2016 (re the shutdown of 11 FCC field stations) which details plans and motivations.

Usually the 'self-policing' by hams (it's usually very effective) is done gently. They get that the frequencies are free of $$cost, and don't want to lose (any more of) them.

EU plugs have the same feature, while being less bulky[0]. Especially so for the ungrounded variations[1]. Note that the EU sockets also have shutters in front of the live connections like UK plugs, even for the ungrounded ones.

In the Netherlands we have stickers you can stick on your letter box that stop 99% of unaddressed spam from being put in. The sender can get into trouble with the regulator if they don't adhere to this system.

It works really well (it has existed for decades), and many municipalities are now moving towards making this 'no sticker' the default! This means that if you want flyers, you have to put up a 'yes sticker' instead of having none, and without a sticker you won't get any. This opt-in approach has quite an impact on the amount of useless paper pushed around.
Why not share it in a single 10-word comment here for the benefit if all if it's so uncontroversial.
This is unanswerable. Fast and cheap are competing qualities, so its not clear whether you want the fastest $100 laptop or the cheapest laptop equipped with a top end cpu or somewhere in between.

You've got to put some bounds on the question like how much you have to spend and what you plan to use it for that needs to be "fast".
Dumping memory state to disk (e.g. how Redis works) is another example of fork without exec.

Additionally, it can also be used in languages that don't have good support for threading (e.g. PHP) to implement parallel processing with shared memory.

However, I'd say that Redis use case is probably the only legit use case (today) of fork without execing, where benefits are huge, and there is no good replacement.
Why the conspiracy theory? It works very well to stop piracy (since it's a hassle to have to pick a bottorrent program, install it, deal with it's annoying popups and ads (because you're a normal user and chose a popular bittorrent client), avoid the popups on the pirate bay, know what a magnet link it, find a player for .mkv files.

It's easier to pay $15 to buy the show on Amazon.

Anyone who disagrees hasn't tried to help their friends pirate things, or shut their eyes to the reality.
Yes this. I see a lot of elaborate ideas about why recruiters prefer the phone, but it's simply playing to their strengths. It doesn't even need to be nefarious, everyone in the world plays to their own strengths in life.
You can think of it like a Git hash. If there was a rollback, the hash won’t be in the audit log (commit history in Git terms).

If they do people will just move to matrix. A lot of groups I'm in are already bridged to matrix so the move will be simple and chat history will be preserved.
> but things changed with the advent of microservices.

Microservices is just a marketing buzzword invented by container orchestration start-ups. Partitioning of large applications across multiple inter-connected processes has been around for decades. Your computer is packed with microservices.

On Linux, type `watch date` and enjoy two microservices running and interacting. On Windows, observe a dozen of svchost.exe processes in the Task Manager.

Most phone plans in the U.S. include unlimited SMS/MMS messages, including prepaid MVNO plans that are very affordable (with entry-level plans under $20/month). Pay-as-you-go plans are an exception, but they are becoming less cost-effective as monthly plans become more competitive.

I think the consumer mindset changes as soon as something is advertised as "unlimited", because you no longer have to think about conserving resources.

Computing is still a young field, only 80 or so at this point. There are many areas that haven't been explored. For example polyhedral optimization only became a thing in the past 20 years. Zig only gets away with being shallow because LLVM does all the heavy lifting. If you follow LLVM you will find a steady flow of academic papers (it even started as an academic project).
Why? You have global volume control, music players have it. To me it's the same as asking every website for brightness adjustment bar or font size control.

If that's the case then we're largely just talking about reading comprehension - being bad at English doesn't make someone not intelligent (and this is also getting dangerously close to the 'Chinese room' thought experiment :D). And FWIW a child could have simply Googled the same thing and came to the same conclusion Alexa did ("this looks like a challenge to try") - people ignore good or bad advice on the internet all the time, that doesn't mean they are not still intelligent beings to some degree.

Basically the problem with this kind of argument is that there's a lot of dumb humans out there (including children) who fall for all sorts of stupid things because they lack knowledge, but every human still possesses some level of intelligence. Beyond that, this particular question requires knowledge of what a wall plug and electricity are, along with enough comprehension of English to pick up that this is a bad idea, which not every human has. And as long as one human is capable of making this mistake, then we have to agree that an intelligent being could do this by accident and thus it is not any kind of indicator of intelligence.
Thanks for this interesting read.

Say a platform superseded that C platform the article is describing, allowing for an unleash of power and parallelism in computing, what are the implications for Linux and other operating systems?
WTF is layer?

If you are asking what level of abstraction is used by Forth, then the answer is: 2nd. It directly exposes stack, memory, and machine code and provides a thin wrapper on top of that. Developers can build higher levels of abstraction then, of course. It's possible to do an object-oriented programming in machine code, because compiler can.

The trickier question is: What level is Lisp? Is it assembler for Lisp machine (because of opcodes like car, cdr, etc.)? Or, maybe, it is a 4GL because of it advanced meta-programming possibilities?
this is hugely surprising!

a person of your background should be inundated with job offers. The issue is probably discoverability. Engineers live on Github, Recruiters live on LinkedIn. If you spent some time updating your Linkedin with more detail, especially on tech environment / tooling, I should imagine your message rate would go up substantially.

This is exactly what we’re trying to solve at Unbox (S21).

Tons of potholes like this exist in AI we use everyday. We used to be ML engineers at Siri and had to invest millions into monitoring tools to stay on top. This is fine and all, but what’s better is to catch them before you ship and before your users suffer (sometimes literally, as in this case).

We think that better tools for QA-ing models, which allow more people (not just ML engineers) to get eyes on the model, might help catch mistakes proactively rather than retroactively.

Sure, for 1, Nietzsche is always a good choice if you want someone to challenge modern assumptions. René Guenon if you're looking for a mystical, metaphysical approach to religion, especially Hinduism and Islam. I also really love the Tao Te Ching and think it's a totally different approach to Western ones.

For 2, I used Virginia Klenk's Understanding Symbolic Logic in a course and recommend it.
Dynamic linking is not a language feature, it’s a feature of the operating system. If we’re talking about dynamic loading, there are plenty of languages that don’t support this natively, but only through its C bindings (e.g. Haskell).
You get some serious selection/reporting bias when you ask a question like this. Unless you get data on everyone (or a random sample) you don't really get that much information about the population. You might get an idea if what's possible at least.

Meanwhile the anime fansub encoders are taking Blu-Rays upscaled with crappy linear scalers, using fancy deconvolution math to restore the original resolution material, and encoding the result. You get a smaller file, and if played on a player with decent upscaling (i.e. mpv, which is what everyone uses these days), better quality than the original Blu-Ray. There's also often other processing involved, like de-banding filters to remove banding caused by low bit depth processing in the original material, deinterlacing/inverse telecine, color correction, etc.

It all depends on how much effort the people involved put into it.
This is suspicious to me as well. I write professionally and I know many others who do as well. My experience tells me that people have some sort of innate writing capacity to them - some are waterfalls, some are little trickles, but you cannot judge the quality of the water just by size of the stream.

So can I, or so could an American. But a cheque can be written on the spot, and as long as the recipient trusts the writer it's as good as cash. That's the real reason cheques are still around. No one writes a cheque to pay for groceries or a $2 item at a convenience store anymore, the way my mother used to do 35 years ago. For established relationships its often the simplest method, and it doesn't require an Internet connection or technology beyond a pen.

A large-ish cheque is $500-$50 000. Larger amounts would generally go through wire transfers.

Personally, I have never written a cheque, and have only had to purchase a money order once for an rental apartment damage deposit. But I have received plenty of cheques, either from work I've done for small businesses, or as regular paycheques before I set up direct payments with my employer.

I used to think like some here, that cheques are obsolete and anyone who uses them is dumb. But I was wrong; they serve a purpose, and there is no harm in them sticking around.
That, in the conventional classification, C is considered a high level language, is definitely what I learned in some languages class. This seems like an odd result given that it is probably the least abstract language that the vast majority of programmers might ever encounter, outside the exercise or two on assembly that they might see in an architectures class. Sort of how, as far as I know, most (all?) PIC and AVR microcontrollers would be considered "very large scale integration" chips.

This the best possible outcome, though -- since they used up these kind of "biggest classification that doesn't sound totally silly" labels in the 70's and 80's or whatever, we don't have to worry about classifying languages anymore, which was not really all that productive to do anyway.

Although I do wonder what level Verilog should be considered.
> This Alexa result is little more than if the person had run the same search query in google. The results aren't guaranteed to be safe for the rest of the internet, why should this be any different.

This is shockingly disingenuous. Alexa quite obviously didn't merely operate as a search engine in this situation. Alexa went to a page that said this challenge is incredibly dangerous, pulled out the challenge stripped of context, and dared a child to do it. That's not what a search engine does.
Spotify has different selection depending on the country. In the past Spotify was not available in my country, so I had to use workarounds, which meant using accounts from different countries, and jumping between them definitely changed what I was able to play from my playlists.

This is the third time I will be answering to your point of relying on witness testimony vs first person testimony. If that's your standard to believe something, that it has to first person, then you need to discount most of history recorded in history books. In a court of law, witness testimony is valid evidence (unless proven to be a lie). You seem to discount this kind of testimony. That doesn't seem reasonable to me.

> major, massive doubt when you read Ehrman's work

If I rely on Ehrman's work, aren't I relying on he said/she said?

And you seem to be moving goal posts here. First you said that there is doubt because of the small number of witnesses "only manifested himself to an infinitesimally small cross-section of humanity" Now you're casting doubt based on the type of witness (eye witness vs self witness)

You've brought up the term strawman twice now without explanation. Care to explain exactly how I'm arguing a strawman?

Does Alexa have a child safety feature that can be enabled to prevent children from using Alexa? My point is that Alexa is a pretty intuitive to use, children won't have see observe their parents using the device more than a few times before they're able to trigger Alexa.

So either Alexa, and other digital assistants, should have a way to prevent "unauthorized" use, or we might need to consider if it's a safe device for families with small children. Perhaps simply being able to disable answers based on internet searches.

You are exactly correct, and that’s his only (highly belaboured) point - none of those exciting things are coming out of academia, it’s all commercial labs.
I didn't know an open source project like this existed, it's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

How does it compare to the closed-source/proprietary alternatives?
This is correct, almost all user side traffic is nat’d (masquerade/Src-nat) thus port knocking nor any ports externally being open, does not apply.

(NAT , in general, = how the multiple devices at your home all share a single public IP address from your ISP)

This article mainly addresses servers / public facing services (which do not make use of nat)
So you're essentially saying: Stop posting these articles because I don't like them? Just skip those articles then. Nobody is forcing you to read them.
