A related concept is "normalization of deviance", but it's not quite the same as "broken windows" as it's meant to apply to processes (so does apply to software engineering practices and discipline) and not artifacts (that is, the code itself).

Basically, you have a, reasonably, safe and disciplined process. You have controls in place for a good reason, but you relax them. Possibly for a good reason, possibly not, and nothing bad happens (at least not yet). This relaxation gradually becomes normalized (think about a safety critical system turning off alarms and leaving them off, "because they're always false alarms"). The odds of a problem occurring is increased by this relaxation of controls and potentially shifts from being "possible" to "inevitable" (in sysadmin stuffs, consider manual data entry at a critical juncture, a fat-fingered value can cause catastrophic problems when it could have been automated and pulled from a regularly reviewed data source).
If there is this much confusion in a online community like this about what to do in such situations, either

a more thorough study needs to be done by the Feds or

a better job communicating what definitive study results recommend, with easy rules of thumb like “if you can see the lights of a shelter on the road from your vehicle and you haven’t seen a vehicle on the road in the last hour, then walk to the shelter’.
So ... do any of you follow politics? One of the two major parties has given up on governing the country, and has not done so for ten years. This 'grand' old party seems to be toying with the idea of giving up on Democracy next. And we are confused as to why the DC Metro system cannot be fixed??
Here's a tip: Fix that party, and you will find that suddenly the DC Metro has money to fix the automatic braking system.
Scamming does not imply theft. Some scams are thefts, but not all of them are. If you sell something you believe to be worthless, but convinced others that it is valuable, then it is not theft by definition. Both of you entered into an agreement and it is just upholding the contract.

Personally, I do not think I will be able to do it, but SV is built on this kind of wild hubris.
> such that there is more margin to keep the business afloat when there is a squeeze.

Chipotle's margin increased after the change. They didn't tap into margin using prior excess to stay afloat.
Oh where does the time go :-)

Back around 2003, I couldn't convince those that counted to spring the petty cash for Ghost; ended up building a custom Morphix[0] CD - well two actually. On boot up, one image would "dd | ftp <local ftp server>" to create an image to be used by the second which . . . splat the ftp disk image onto as many machines as there were copies of that cd. Improved the life of our PC techs measurably.
If the techs needed to build more desktops they just burnt another cd.
Was an all MS shop, but for this, I was granted an indulgence.

You seem to be saying that anything short of living your philosophical ideals is hypocrisy.

There are a lot of government policies I think should be criminal, but nobody suggests that my only options are accept the policy or completely denounce society.

I think that the large telecoms are built on theft from society and that copyright laws are too extensive. Should I leave society to go live on Sealand?

> In general I've yet to see what these type check systems (be it mypy, pyright or any other) offer over proper tests. Type hints are there for developers not the machine.

In a language with proper first-class typing, the advantage is that they're included in your automated refactoring rather than needing manual updates. But yeah I've never found optional type systems to be any use.
For me, there's a huge difference between going from 0-50% in 30 minutes vs. 0-100% in zero minutes. Especially when traveling or working in remote field sites. In the past I've often not been near an outlet, or my home, or my car, for multiple days straight.

I do carry charger packs but it's a lot nicer to just instantly have a 100% battery than have an extended period of time when your phone is tethered to another bulky block.

Also, for ADHD people, sometimes they fail at "remembering to connect to a charger" when its available, and find themselves in situations where they need their phone but the phone is dead -- swapping a battery in would be a quick save.

I think a one time payment is great when you’re selling a standalone app, but for online services, I don’t think there are many options beyond a subscription or possibly some kind of pay-as-you-go model, the latter of which has a whole host of other issues.

I don’t think it’s invalid to express fatigue at the model, but as feedback on a specific app/service here, it’s a bit tired without at least some kind of suggested alternative.

And truly I get it - I too have far too many subscriptions to things, but putting myself into the devs shoes, I get why it’s a prevailing approach these days.
Many people are of the opinion that leetcode style interview jobs, on average, pay a lot more. Is your experience different?
Just around that time. I work 4 SWE jobs so I tend to move around quite a bit. It comes out to maybe a new job every 4-6 months.
Same here. Love the thing.

By “love it” I mean I never have to think about it or acknowledge it’s existence.

Which is the exact opposite of how the word “love” is generally used.

But I still love it.
When your standards are the human race dying out or not, of course they'll be fine, and the survivors of all the other disasters have been too. But as a parent of young kids, my standards are clearly higher than that. As I said before, I want the world to be better for them than it was for the survivors of all those other disasters.

On this forum, you're well-known and rightly get a lot of respect. You're a great technologist. If you were to just tell me something about programming language design, I'd generally assume you're right. If you gave rationale and sources, that's a bonus for my education.

But on this thread...how do I put this nicely. As far as I know, you're not an expert in early childhood development, you're not a public school teacher, etc. I don't even know if you've been around children going through this. It doesn't comfort me much when you say they'll be fine. You're just some guy on the Internet.

I know kids who've gone through this are struggling in many ways. My kids will probably be fine in the long run because I have the resources to help them. That still won't happen without considerable angst and effort on my part, that of their teachers, etc. Many other kids might be fine by your standards but not by mine. I'm not an expert in early childhood development either, but my understanding is there are certain critical years for language and social development that are golden opportunities. If those opportunities are missed, it's hard to fully replace them.

yea, i agree that broadband access is vital - not just for education, but for everything. It's the new roads and rail of the 21st century. Broadband should be a public utility, regulated as such and invested in as such imho.
I would agree that if you buy a URL, you are supporting whoever is selling the URL, and are purchasing nothing more.
Not sure about drag lock (hadn't heard of it before this) but at least button mapping doesn't seem like something that should be done by either the display protocol or the DE in the first place. https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper will do it at the input layer, similar to how this works but via software.
Once you accept that LC is used 80% for personality traits test, and 20% as actual knowledge test it gets easier to swallow your pride and do the grind in order to get in to the desired company.

That is, if you want to be a part of such company.

Because, yes, compensation is awesome, and you get the shares and what not, but there is more to life than that.

Scratch the surface a bit deeper, there are many different companies out there with different core values that will attract totally different group of people - while having all of the benefits of a "well known company"
> For some people, being a little slower to speak means they're more careful with their thoughts, less likely to be carried away by engagement or perpetuate useless ideas, and more prone to patient reflection.

I speak fast when my mind is sharp and active, and speak slow when I am tired or sick and can't think straight. Bet you most people do the same. So you probably should read it that he had long term retardation of the brain, not a calm nature.
> If you write a type hint in your code and then run mypy on it, it will tell you whether the type is being violated.

Only if the type hints for all the libraries you use are correct (and in practice they're not).
Much as i hate this answer, i have to admit this is the current-day "Truth". In the spirit of Machiavelli/Kautilya we need to learn to face "Reality as it is" rather than "What we would like it to be".

A 9-5 job just gives you enough to survive (not always comfortably) in Society, but there are no guarantees. However, if you bend your Morals/Ethics, lose your sense of Shame/Dignity, willing to screw over anybody to get the slightest advantage, you will go far.
I’ll give you some more advice. Don’t write security software unless you know what you are doing. Using a non-CSPRNG for keys is a complete fail. It is dangerous for your users and shows you do not know what you are doing.
From my recent similar experience I concluded that it was a shadow 2FA enrollment of the Android device’s Gmail/Google app only, without prompting the user to choose backup and recovery methods like SMS — even though it was an Android phone.
I agree with everything you said and it was all thoughtful, with the one caveat that I think this exact style of writing and object of concern is now in the realm of the "normal" political spectrum. Yes, that may mean that being emotionally/mentally unwell is a part of the "normal" political spectrum, though small - but it seems to be true.

That's definitely an unsolved (unsolvable?) problem. The best we can really do is start with a common sense set of initial tests based on the user observable behaviors we want from the system and then add more tests organically as we learn more about the system's edge cases through incidents, bugs and regressions.

I'm not saying code review can't find any bugs (in practice bugs are found in code review all the time), I'm just saying that if we do find a bug through code review, it means we got lucky, and we shouldn't count on getting lucky again, so better add a test/linter rule for the next time when we might not get so lucky. That's just one more way to grow your automated systems organically.
I am willing to take that bet at sufficiently "big money".
Hymn of Breaking Strain by Rudyard Kipling
TBH, I think the "go from yuppie to hippie and it all becomes rainbows" is generally a false narrative. Money does often buy happiness. That "$75,000 a year is peak happiness" thesis does not replicate, like much of the social sciences. [1]

I'm sure your new lifestyle is suitable for you and makes you happy. But I don't believe that's generalizable.

I took 4 at home tests, all said negative, but I was definitely sick, scheduled a PCR test, 6 days after my symptoms started was the soonest I could get an appointment for, and it finally confirmed that I had covid. 2 different brands of at home tests kept telling me I was negative.

So, I don't doubt the anecdotal stories of people getting false negatives with the at home. My coworker also took 4 and only 1 finally showed positive in the end.
Ive seen that, that is more of a public "Want to sell your compute to random strangers on the internet?" as far as I understand. my offering is private, supposed to be something for individual companies to make use of their own idle compute on their own business problems.

Sad to hear it may have changed. I used to host my XPI and use a content type header to get it installed from my website.
Usually you would benchmark on difficult tasks, not the easiest one.
For computers, batch IO operations are much faster than random IO and can easily saturate the network.

This benchmark uses large batch size, 64MB, to test. There is nothing new here. Most common file systems can easily do the same.

The difficult task is to read and write lots of small files. There is a term for it, LOSF. I work on SeaweedFS, https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs , which is designed to handle LOSF. And of course, no problem with large files at all.
The point is we are not in a position to know what is outside our frame of reference either way. Strict atheism asserts there is no god with the same lack of evidence that religious people believe that there is.

Of course many atheists will point to some specific religious belief as being unlikely without evidence, but that is a strawman argument that comes down to the semantic question of defining "god" narrowly enough to make it seem absurd and unlikely. The larger question is whether the observable universe is the end-all-be-all of existence, and that is a philosophical question which outspans the reaches of the scientific method. One can assume Materialism and reject Dualism—many do because they find it silly to consider unanswerable questions and prefer to assume a deterministic universe which could theoretically be fully understood from our meat sack bodies given enough time and resources—but unfortunately this belief is based on faith; it can not be proven anymore than the Halting problem can be solved.
There is no simple path from smart contract development to outsized profits. Tons of brilliant people have been working on these problems for years and I am confident that the vast majority haven't found their millions yet.

Sure there are some crazy high valued NFTs, but 99.99+% are worthless. Seeing bored apes and thinking you can do the same is like seeing a lottery winner on the news and planning to follow in their footsteps.

Giving up is the long term plan, what makes it worse if your new friends are there already?

Is it more comfortable to wait for your current friends to decide that it’s not worth it to social distance so they socialize more?

BTW School is open, kids are in-person. Indoor masking is here to stay wherever there are humans.
It is worse in software, people will copy and paste the broken windows all over the code base in new code.
I haven’t heard a convincing argument for why only ethereum can get users to use key pairs.

You can improve the UX of key management tools without a global network of redundant computers.
+1 to this. Back in the mid-late 2000s, I used to have a modded compiz theme which was heavily inspired by the Matrix, and looked absolutely spectacular. It included things like windows beind "hidden" unless you used a key-combo to "see the matrix", a bunch of animation effects, some sound effects from the movie etc.

I can bet that more folks in school wanted to try out linux (This was around the time when Canonical was sending out free installation CDs to whoever wanted to try out Ubuntu) because they thought it was "cool" rather than because of any of the other philosophical or technical arguments for Linux.
Heh, I remember reading about a few of the infamous ones. Most of them seemed generally harmless; I never got one, although if I’d gotten more software from MUGs and mixtape-style floppies, I might have.

You are definitely correct about loose OS security. It was possible to do a lot of damage with just a HyperCard stack, and those were pretty widely distributed.
Doesn’t prescribe one, no, but when it is over HTTP, it’d be perfectly reasonable to have it accept QUERY for non-mutating requests, like it can currently use GET or POST.
I've taken to using a using an electric hand mixer directly in the jar. It gets the peanut butter thoroughly mixed very quickly. As one might expect, it can go wrong spectacularly if you aren't careful.
But the thing is, only just because we can't prove it now, doesn't mean it's false. You sound like the people who would have believed that the earth is center of the universe in the middle aged. And most people thought that, even "scientist". So you would have been perfectly right to believe it. You would not sound crazy. But yet wrong. What i want to tell you, don't be ignorant and don't form opinions on stuff you don't understand. Try it in lower dose. Imagine sober real life like folders browsing back and forth. But on shrooms (or LSD, DMT etc) it's like viewing a whole folder tree. You are able to make connections to thoughts you never would have connected in real life, because they are not directly related. So called "Ahh" moments. I will never give up drugs because of that greater understanding of own knowledge. Remember, knowing is not understanding. Such drugs allow you to truly understand. And as a side note, i had the same view as you when I was young. Now i know that i just was ignorant. In the end of the day, fuck what others say. You need to think for yourself and understand the world for yourself !
Indeed, just look at OP.
The OnlyFans Stars Who Hire Assistants to Pretend to Be Them
For those who are wondering "Project Mouse Tailor" is a USB hardware solution (based on Teensy 4.1) with the aim of adding mouse button remapping and "Drag Lock".

"Drag Lock" is a feature when you can "lock" onto a screen object (window, icon etc), so that it can be dragged without having to hold down a mouse button.

The op is doing this in hardware due to many Linux Distros changing from X11 to Wayland.
If you don't catch major errors until the QA team has time to do a full comprehensive test of the product then those errors are probably sitting in the codebase for days or weeks, and additional changes are being piled on top of them which will make it harder to identify which commit was the problem. Do a code review and you'll catch a bunch of stuff before it even hits QA.

I don't know what exactly France did and why it does or doesn't work for them, but the article was less about the net number of new cases, and more about the impact of shutting down schools/society.

We know that, if you're vaccinated, you're both less likely to get COVID (not necessarily unlikely, with the new super-infectious variants, but less likely), and once you have it, are less likely to have a high viral load and thus spread it, especially if you don't have symptoms. If we knew that, for example, all of the diners and all of the staff at a restaurant were fully vaccinated, then the likelihood of catching COVID at that restaurant would be drastically reduced -- we'd still be exposed to the odd symptomless-but-contagious person as well as to the occasional person who has symptoms but decided to dine out anyhow, but it'd be very different math than "anyone working or dining here may not be vaccinated in the first place and may have attended an unvaxxed 300-person indoor wedding two days ago".

Same with schools: today, you can be an anti-vaxxer and send your kids to the same school as mine. Being an anti-vaxxer not only means that you're not vaccinated, but also that you're more likely to discount the entire pandemic and spend time in large gatherings with other unvaccinated people. And of course your children go with you. And you pick them up from school, and go to their basketball practice, and attend meetings.

By allowing willfully-unvaccinated people to seamlessly mingle with the rest of society, we're increasing everyone's risk. No one claims that by doing this we'll bring the number of cases down to zero, that's not actually the point. The point is that we'll be far less likely to catch COVID at any regulated place.
And what is more important? Saying "nice" things, or actually passing legislation that affects the main lever of power in our country?

Here is the original link to the Gates Foundation report from 2014:
"Lessons from Research and the Classroom:
Implementing High-Quality Pre-K that Makes a Difference for Young Children"

https://docs.gatesfoundation.org/documents/Lessons%20from%20...

Everything in the report is 2012 dollars. Scale appropriately for today. Boston Pre-K is about $15K now while New Jersey would be about $18K now. These are minimums. More money doesn't guarantee success, but less money almost guarantees failure.

And here is a link talking about Martin Walsh (Mayor of Boston) trying to get the money to pay for what that report calls an "exemplar program":
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/02/22/metro/eight-years-aft...

All of the other exemplar programs were cancelled for lack of funding.

You can persist in believing that there is some magic pot of money flying around education, or you can simply observe cancelled successful programs and teachers asking for donations to buy school supplies.

Your call.
Aha, I replied above and you are saying the same thing!
