It's still useless. You don't choose the payment processor of your doctor, and you certainly do not recommend it to anybody.

They should be asking doctors. And if they want your point of view, they should ask something minimally reasonable (like, did you have any problem using it?), not some crazy hypothetical.
That's very sad, for sure... but churches are only a bunch of people, trying to get closer to God. No matter how well any of them do so, they all ultimately will be failing at things all the time - anger, frustration, hate, etc.

Churches are not full of perfect people - it's the exact opposite. It's people who know they're not perfect, and understanding that, are still trying to understand life, and God.

All I'm saying is don't write off God - religion, sure.... Go for it, but God is not religion.
Following the CNBC link also says: "but Consumer Reports put the Model 3 in the middle of the pack and still recommends it."

I'm also wondering what's the relative ranking vs. other BEVs and whether or not the ranking is weighted by some of the earlier production vehicles that had more issues.

I've had endless issues with ICE cars. Never owned a Toyota. But did own a Dodge, an Audi, a Subaru, all of which had lots of problems, some of them resulting in getting stuck and needing to get towed, the last one was ~1500km from home in the middle of nowhere with the Subaru and a seized engine which is when I decided to get the Tesla. Maybe just my luck.

I think I feel less stress in my Model 3 which so far hasn't let me down. But ask me again in 10 years. No oil changes. No stinking gas stations.

$$-wise I think I agree. But if the Model 3 cost $9k I think we both know which one you'd get...
Languages and frameworks are constantly “changing”, but are they constantly improving?

If they are generally following an upward trajectory, they seem worthwhile to track and follow, or even contribute.

If it is all just fashion, what is to be gained by being a “dedicated follower of fashion”? Might as well buy a lottery ticket.

Thanks for your input! I think what I'm grappling with currently is my new employer is more interested in fast work rather than learning. Even when I've spent a half day tinkering or digging into the code myself, the response is always "just ask where to find it and do it".

Everyone seems nice enough, but unfortunately this pattern has also lead to boring and uninteresting work. To the point that I've actually started reaching out to new companies since the work here is significantly less interesting than what I was tasked with at the previous startup I worked for.
Did you disable kernel security to inject the window server extensions? I don’t understand the repercussions so I’m a little reluctant to.
Yeah, and I'm not really seeing the advantage of doing this versus just encrypting the data and storing it in normal filesystem space. Maybe that whoever has to write an anti-evasion for it now has to be able to look in this unallocated space on the SSD, and there's no easy API to use?
Having 4 people is actually not enough I would argue.

BUT!

That's because I advocate for people being able to go on vacations without worrying about work and to be able to not be on-call 24/7/365.

I.e. you don't need them full time and you also need them for all other options, because you need to cover on-call for anything you use. Nobody at AWS or Google will so much as blink when your precious infrastructure blows up on you and you don't know what to do. You need brains to work on those things yourself. You want to only have people on-call every 5 or 6 weeks.

How exactly to calculate the percentages on those salaries, that I am not sure of, but it definitely isn't a full time job to babysit infrastructure like that with 4 full-time brains doing nothing but watching your monitoring dashboards!

Lack of personal connections and interactions? Developers don't see users struggle in person, users don't see developers hard at work. Perhaps there's no real hostility, merely a lack of understanding of each other's problems and context. Also, gathered feedback through software interfaces seems to inhibit mutual understanding, for all that it scales well.

Most of your examples are more about companies using software to control customers and shift to extracting value rather than providing value though, not really about developer hostility.
I loved this article!
Super informative.

Very interesting that the author managed to hit a pathological case in rustc.
Continuously linear implemented with an analog device vs digital “linear” (ie, watch your floats! Take care of quanization error! Have you kept the colors separated according to the Beyer pattern?).

No one has a problem with a mathematically perfect linear transformation, and film enlargers come very close to that ideal (yes they distort, but in a very obvious way and by degrading detail not adding detail that isn't there)

The analog picture is much harder doctor. More gracious artifacts in blow up (grains are random, versus sharp grid). Much more detail is recorded (by virtue of the size of the sensor and therefore the diffraction limit. Sensor resolution is not too useful).
Most of the cost for me was really a "no one here does it yet tax" on the unit itself, along with an "everything is much more expensive in canada tax" tbh. If I were in the US the unit would have been half the cost and it'd probably be cost effective on a reasonable timeline, esp. if carbon taxes increase over the next ten years as currently scheduled.

Right now though the cost to heat my house with gas and the cost to heat it with the heat pump at the marginal temperatures is about the same. I still have an operational and relatively new gas water heater though or I'd be looking into turning off the gas for 2/3 of the year and that would save a lot of money since there's a lot of fixed costs on my bill for even having gas at all.
Wow this is a freaking cool attack vector!
> multiple input streams at the same time

Just in case this isn't clear, BLAKE3 breaks a single large input up into many chunks, and it hashes those chunks in parallel. The caller doesn't need to provide mulitple separate inputs to take advantage of the SIMD optimizations. (If you do have multiple separate inputs, you can actually use similar SIMD optimizations with almost any hash function. But because this situation is rare, libraries that provide this sort of API are also rare. Here's one of mine: https://docs.rs/blake2s_simd/1.0.0/blake2s_simd/many/index.h....)

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is stealing customers because regular phones are boring
I remember when I worked my first job as tech support for an ISP our entire performance was measured by NPS. The company had a question asking 'how would you rate the rep' and 'how would you rate the company'. But, the rep question was a decoy, and the company question actually counted in my personal NPS stats.

I would get so many 10s for the rep (which does not count at all) and 1s for the company which would obliterate my stats. And, only the last person who spoke to the customer was rated, so this encouraged meaninglessly transferring people around like a hot potato.

Number of times I would get a customer who had issues for weeks, and then I take a look at their issue, resolve it in 15 minutes, they would be ecstatic on the call and then the NPS survey comes back, 10 for me and 1 for the company. Then I would get a tap on my shoulder from the supervisor asking me to explain the detractor.

I almost got fired after about 6 months due to my NPS being too low, until I made friends with one of the vets, and one evening in the pub with couple beers too many in him he explained to me that the only way to survive is to game the system. He told me how to crash the call client to prevent it from sending surveys to angry callers, how to transfer people to infinite hold queue which does not result in survey when they hang up, and how to trick the system into thinking that I had and inbound call when I did not (which gave me time to actually do my work, like performing relocations and resolving complex provisioning issues since any time not spent on inbound call was considered to be not adhering to schedule). I went from less than +40 NPS to +90 NPS in one month, so most of the NPS feedback was fake anyway.

If you go into the trouble of collecting it, it's reasonable to use as a KPI, as it carries useful information.

I imagine you are annoyed that they optimize for it. And yes, it's not reasonable to optimize for it. Why do people optimize every KPI?
> By correlating rules with success or failure of the societies, we can begin to tease out what the best set of rules are. Clearly, some sets of rules work a lot better than others.

How do you measure success or failure? Whoever lasts the longest is the most successful? Because by that measure, the longest lived societies were empires ruled by monarchs.. they did not guarantee rights.
The universe does not provide bits of pure, sublimated entropy. There's a little entropy in the low bits of the interrupt timings, but you don't know exactly where it is. You need to "stir" it to get the entropy to affect the whole pool.

Nobody is talking about excluding Thiel from investing in Saudi Arabia, or forfeiting his right to safety or privacy.

What is being questioned here is the narrative that Gawker put him in any kind of serious risk wrt Saudi Arabia, or that his actions against Gawker were taken in defense of gay people's privacy.

He obviously doesn't care much about the rights of gay people, or have many personal safety concerns if he's investing massive amounts into one of the most gay-oppressive regimes on earth, yet he gets a full pass here from you, and Gawker deserved to be destroyed as a company.

Why?

I assure you Saudi Arabia is a much bigger "bully" to gay people than Gawker ever was, yet Thiel has no problem enabling it, and you apparently have no problem with him doing so either.

Its a ridiculous double standard.
Good point, devs should either just not write bugs OR be on call 24/7. That's a totally reasonable way of running things.

I understand if people's lives are on the line. Otherwise, recognize that bugs happen, and either be ok with that or come up with a process (QA) that finds these bugs before deployment or that allows you to roll back to a more stable version easily.
Cool, what does this have to do with Thiel not being concerned with corruption again?
According to some neuroscience article that was posted in HN recently, some people might percieve reality in "less FPS." Not only that, but as people age, the speed also goes down. Most people I know cannot discern the difference between heavy motion interpolation and it being off. In the same way, I remember when people weren't able to discern between DVD and BluRay quality in 1080p displays. Even today, many people can't see the difference between a Retina display and a 1080p monitor, which blows my mind.
Would you really call the experiments AUS (and other countries) have performed in UBI an “unreservedly massive success”?

Haven’t most such places seen increases in wealth inequality and, perhaps more importantly, increasingly unaffordable rent / housing? Not to mention inflation which was probably not at a sustainable pace?

This isn’t even a bait question, perhaps you attribute those results to some other cause or don’t view them as problems. I haven’t heard this POV in my own circles.
No. The high-level design of most CSPRNGs is roughly that of a stream cipher. With an ordinary stream cipher like AES-CTR, we need a 128 bit key; if we had a password or a DH shared secret, we'd get the 128 bit key from a KDF, whose core would be a hash function. With a CSPRNG, in lieu of a key we have an (often indeterminate) stream of unpredictable events --- but we still have the equivalent of a KDF, a "mixing function", whose core is typically a hash function. Adding new "entropy" means feeding it through the mixing function. Getting random bytes means running the stream cipher and spitting out the keystream directly, instead of XORing it against a plaintext.

Cryptographically speaking, the problem of taking a small secret and extracting a very large number of cryptographically unpredictable bytes is pretty fundamental to the whole project --- you know, of, like, cryptography. But for the fact that you'd like to be able to theoretically recover from a bug that discloses your random state (your "key"), you wouldn't really need more than a "seed"'s worth of entropy to run the CSPRNG indefinitely.
> If you put anything I listed to “off” to kill the engine and put it back to “on”, windmilling would have restarted it.

I cannot speak for the particular airframe / engine / propeller configuration here, but speaking from personal experience (supervised training) one can stop the engine from windmilling on a Cessna 150 Aerobat by pulling the mixture back an slowing down. Once it is stopped, you have to dive quite steeply to start it rotating again.

With regard to parachute-wearing, it is the usual practice for glider pilots, mainly because the desire to fly in rising air tends to lead to flying in close proximity to other gliders.

This is a somewhat ambiguous response, so, for the record, Let me say that this looks suspiciously like a staged crash - as did that Beech Bonanza ditching off Santa Cruz some months ago. Even if Any one thing might be explained, each story is just one such thing after another.

Zero indexing of arrays only makes sense in C because array variable is a pointer to first element of the array. In all languages that have actual array type with length and bounds checking, 1 would be a better way to index arrays most of the time and having specified valid range would be the best way.

/dev/random hasn't been a "true" RNG in the sense you're describing (an "entropy estimating" RNG I think) since Linux 5.6. However, even an entropy estimating RNG doesn't want to give raw bytes from entropy sources straight to callers, for a few reasons:

1. There might be more than one source. In that case, it's natural to want the output to be secure as long as any of the inputs are secure. For that, you need some way to securely mix two sources of randomness together, and hash functions are good at that.

2. Truly random numbers coming from lava lamps or thermometers or whatever aren't necessarily uniformly random. They might be, say, 1/3 zeros and 2/3 ones. Who knows. That's still useful randomness, but callers want uniformly random bytes, so again we reach for some sort of pseudorandom mixer like a hash function. In this case I think this step is called "whitening".

> I might for the sake of argument point out that Cuba clearly provides dramatically better healthcare and education outcomes than America

How many Cubans want to leave and come to America? How many Americans want to live in Cuba? Venezuela? N. Korea?

Therein lies the answer to your argument.

It's interesting you chose to compare health care and education. Public education in the US is a gigantic socialist system. So is health care. You're not comparing a socialist system with a market based system. You're comparing a socialist system with a socialist system - which says nothing about what market system could do.

And lastly, who collects those astounding statistics on Cuba? The Soviet Union was famous for celebrating astounding statistics on food production, while the people starved. Why should we believe statistics collected by another communist, totalitarian outfit?
