There's always an underlying "those OTHER people are them dumb ones" in any and all of this sort of criticism. The thing is though, to sell it to the masses, not-so-smart characters need to be elevated to appearing intelligent, and straw men need to be employed in rapid fire. The truth is that these sorts of movies "Idiocracy" and "Don't Look Up" are there to give people of middling intelligence validation and reinforce their belief that they are the smart ones.
> how the presence of trains indicate peace

A tangent, but I’ve often pondered about the economic and societal value of other inanimate objects; for instance, what the economic benefit of a barricade has always fascinated and perplexed me.

One one hand, a barricade prevents free the movement of services and goods. On the other hand, without them there would be less security, leading to less economic activity.

I think you'd make a very hard time making that stick (and a field like software development, where the 10x more productive programmer is generally believed to be a real thing, would be particularly hard). There is no reason why a company operating in good faith should want to deter exceptional candidates from applying to a position, and exceptional candidates are both much rarer than "slightly-above average" or "underqualified but trainable" candidates and able to command much higher salaries.

But the possibility otherwise satisfied employees being paid a market wage commensurate with their experience might see ads for jobs similar to theirs and conclude they're being systematically underpaid and motivated to take legal action is definitely a negative second order effect of the law...
I think that the objection, that was also raised very recently about a Dior ad iirc, is the real or perceived emphasis on very slanted eyes, which is seen as a racial, if not racist, stereotype. I imagine they see this in a similar way as if a black person with overly stereotypical "African" features (once upon a time the term was 'negroid features', I believe) was picked by non Africans to represent an African.

Slanted eyes have historically been the main racist trope against East Asian people.

I think you're reading too far into my reasoning. I'm not a huge fan of UB, and I mostly write Rust these days to get away from cheekiness like this.

My only point was that, for better or worse, UB is not the culprit in this code. C could have well-defined abstract semantics for copying functions or aliasing function pointers through datatype pointers, and this code would still be platform dependent and would still break on different hosts.

You are correct: if the password used to create the key is trivial, then there definitely exists hardware that can guess AES256 passwords even if a KDF is used weakly.

I'm not sure how to read that table. Is that really the cost for a 100,000 iteration PBKDF2?!?

The idea of "policing" something that isn't even real should be seen as just patently ridiculous to any thinking person.

Oh hey, that's my post :)

This has been one of the most popular and well-received posts I've ever written (the other being the "Redux and Context" post I wrote earlier this year [0]).

I think this one started out at about 5000 words, and I've kept adding to it over time so that it's now about 8500. I actually have several more updates I need to make, including covering some of the changes in React 18. Hopefully will get to those sometime during this holiday break.

The other deep-dive post I typically recommend is Dan Abramov's "Complete Guide to `useEffect`" [1].

I'm also happy to say that a decent chunk of this information is now part of the new React beta docs [2], which are absolutely amazing. They're not complete yet, but they're already vastly better than the previous docs, and we now routinely point new React learners to the beta docs as a starting point.

First, how do you tell a date from a string or a number easily in the code. Second, the functional thing happens for many reasons, and biggest ones are practical. You can’t DCE (treeshake in hipsterish) classes in js due to highly dynamic semantics, but builtin code doesn’t suffer from that. If it was a non-special type, then maybe it was worth just Foo(), but usually there are some methods attached to it as well as introspection capabilities like toJSON(), toString(), etc.

The community seems to be moving towards functional programming/away from classes

The community moves to where React is, no real CV choice. Other parts of the community are non-functional, e.g. new WebpackPlugin, etc.
Your podcast is very useful - I have been a subscriber for a couple of years now!

This is the first time I have heard that and my jaw is on the floor.
In the event that this is a (somewhat/semi-)serious comment:

First: one doesn't have to cycle all the time. If the weather is bad, or if you just don't feel like it, then one can certainly just not cycle. Feel free to take transit or your car/taxi/uber.

But by designing 'human scale' neighbourhoods this gives people the option of choosing their mode of transportation, instead of being forced to own/operate an expensive piece of equipment that sits idle and depreciates most of the time.

That being said, as someone who cycled in the Before Times to work in Toronto for ~9 months out of year,† I've found the risk of rain was more of a deterrent than actual rain. The number of times I was actually commuting in the rain as quite small over the course of a year.

When I started cycling I would look at the weather forecast, and not take my bicycle if there was a decent chance of rain. And most times it ended up not raining anyway. So at some point I bought rain gear and stuck it in a pannier: I no longer bothered looking at the forecast.

Of course one doesn't need to go for all the funny looking clothing. A simple poncho folded away can be sufficient:

† Often the road conditions were garbage in January and February because a lack of decent practices in snow clearing. Those were the months I generally skipped: I often cycled into December (when it was still 'dry') and often re-started in (mid-)March.

There are also tours normally geared towards Chinese tourists, but that are staffed with English-speakers (both the Chinese tour guide and the North Korean guides/handlers), so English-speaking Westerners can get a heavily controlled tour that's just a bit less controlled than the one typically offered to Westerners. The crossing into NK is made at Dandong in China, and after crossing the river, you take a regular internal NK train to Pyongyang, instead of taking a foreigners-only plane or train direct from Beijing to Pyongyang. US citizens used to take these tours, but I think it's probably even more insane to do that nowadays.
The cause of this is a known behavior of Unix/Linux scripts, but unfortunately not everyone knows this. If you change a script while it is running, the shell that runs it will read (what it thinks is) the next line from the old script, but it will be reading at the expected position in the old script file, but from the new script file. So what it reads and executes will probably not be what you wanted.

We desperately need a law that says (or at least need people in power to understand that) if your server sends it (as an agent working on behalf of your interests), you decided it was ok for me to receive it! For HTTP this understanding is literally conveyed in the status code (200-OK). Once data is sent to the client, you can't say they are breaking the law by looking at it[0]. Anyone with a text-based browser would have seen this data right away without even having to use the Powerful Hacking Tool view source.

A law like this would also prevent the grave injustice of being considered a criminal for incrementing a query parameter to iterate through different records (weev/AT&T, I think). That also should never have been considered "hacking". Companies need to fix their damn auth instead of relying on the CFAA being overly generous to financially/politically-endowed interests. That law needs a neuter.

[0]: notwithstanding an actually-compromised server, which is no longer an agent working in its owners interest. We'd have to be very careful to word this law, but I believe we can do a lot better than what we've got today.

Nikon's F-mount isn't just a single thing. It has a very complicated compatibility matrix: https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm

By contrast, Canon broke compatibility twice, moving from FL to FD (1971) to EF (1987). But since the start of EF, compatibility has been excellent. New EF lenses with features like IS, USM, STM work perfectly even on the oldest Canon EOS 650 film camera body. And the earliest EF lenses work on modern bodies.

> Also, in British English "Chemist" means "Pharmacist". I always wondered, what they called a Chemist?

(Brit here). A shop that sells pharma products is often colloquially called 'a chemists' but the people who work there are typically referred to as pharmacists. 'Chemistry' as studied at school and Uni is totally about chemicals in general and not drugs (which would be pharmacology). Someone who described themselves as a chemistry student or professor would almost inevitably be perceived as someone who is working with chemicals.

Exactly. What a garbage post from LastPass.

- was it was sent out to accounts other than those for which the 3rd party had the password?

I don't think it is possible to bring the old photographs up to the same level as the ones for the new situation, it is probably hard enough to find such photographs in the first place. So the only way that I can think of would then be to make the new photographs with old processes and gear. That would be a funny exercise in itself.

That fsck that gets confused when you store a ReiserFS image in your filesystem is a problem. I've long been interested in reading a filesystem as a text the way Derrida would read a text and ReiserFS is one of the weirder ones.

Personally I have no interest in a filesystem being high performing or having interesting features if it murders your data. You might think otherwise now but after you have a serious wreck you might appreciate ext4. (Every total NTFS failure I had had to do with failing hardware but it does seem they are never the same if you make a directory with too many files.)
You're right, having only one person on call for a managed cluster doesn't make a lot of sense. We should probably have planned with at least 2 people for a managed cluster too to cover 24/7/365 operations.

I think our thought process here is that developers are also involved in on call support for the service availability and the k8s cluster availability is mostly managed by the provider, but the cluster can still fail even if the control plane is managed.

I always wonder how much of the most popular open source projects are written by people who are actually being paid for the work by their employers

Many of my open source contributions came from fixing bugs or adding features because I needed them for my job. Many of the biggest open source projects I use come from big companies that have full-time engineers working on them.

I’ve also worked at two separate companies that have hired developers of very popular open-source projects. It didn’t work out in either case because the company wanted them to prioritize work related to the company, but they wanted to continue focusing on the community as before.

On a micro level, it’s surprisingly difficult to arrange to pay someone outside of a company to work on a project for you. The amount of overhead that goes into arranging the contracting agreement, communicating the issue, setting up the contractor with your environment, and managing it all can quickly snowball into a massive commitment for even small work. The exception is hiring contractors or contracting companies who have made a business out of working in that exact domain and are already up to speed on the project and have good relationships with upstream maintainers, but those are rare.
I think the "dream" of writing FOSS for a living is that it's like a normal job except for all the non-fun parts like mandatory HR meetings, boring standups, performance reviews, having to deal with customers/PMs/etc who don't understand the technical constraints, etc etc etc. It is just writing code you want to write with zero other obligations but somehow you get paid for it.

When it's written out like that I think most people would recognize why it is not very realistic to get paid for something like that, but it is still a very tempting vision.
There is malicious prosecution, which allows a defendant to sue the plaintiff for knowingly prosecuting even though they knew (or reasonably suspected) they were wrong or did so with ill intent.

Typically, this can only be done after prevailing in court as I understand it and the bar for success is quite high.

I write code somebody else wants and get paid for it as my day job. It happens to be open source. Some people write the code they want to write, but keep it closed-source. So I don't think your contrast quite works.

I think some of the "no money in open source software" unease isn't because people would like to get paid to write whatever code they feel like, but a desire to retain the benefits of having a massive amount of open source code out there (less reinvention of the wheel by multiple companies, low-cost low-friction way to bootstrap whatever actually interesting/novel software your company is doing, etc) but put it on a more sustainable footing where money is directed reliably enough at the people keeping it together that we can avoid the xkcd "one person in Nebraska" failure mode.
Maybe: the way we structure professional life is incompatible with a healthy society.
Public school students retain constitutional rights (although in a weaker form).

> In our system, state-operated schools may not be enclaves of totalitarianism. School officials do not possess absolute authority over their students. Students… are possessed of fundamental rights which the State must respect, just as they themselves must respect their obligations to the State. In our system, students may not be regarded as closed-circuit recipients of only that which the State chooses to communicate. They may not be confined to the expression of those sentiments that are officially approved. In the absence of a specific showing of constitutionally valid reasons to regulate their speech, students are entitled to freedom of expression of their views.

Hm. Yeah. That may be the case, but IMO it doesn't really matter if the change is anthropogenous, or not. The thing is, there is much wishful thinking in all parties, on every side of the fences.

So...in the spirit of considering all options, to get the real big picture, some of them maybe shouldn't be discarded so fast. OFC 'follow the money' should be applied, but still...
