LOL, I would never have thought to do that till now! :)

I think we've always been on the same page regarding WUFFS and file format sanitizers. For me the question here really is, how do we improve the status quo when WUFFS is not an option? i.e. What are sane defaults for general purpose programming languages?

I still maintain that checked arithmetic should be enabled by default in general purpose programming languages, and that's because I believe in the principles behind WUFFS, having worked exactly on these kinds of tools myself.

A lot of industries, despite being "tech", are still just using computers to "push paper". That means a true technical person can often automate these jobs. It's real and it does happen. The thing is... most people like that are not content doing that and then fucking around all day. I've been in this position. I've shared my automation with the team I was on and the manager I had, and I got a raise. I did this at more than one company when I worked in operational roles, since then I'm more engineering focused so less opportunities to do so.
can you limit outbound network access to specified masks/ports/devices on a per-service level?
Just a friendly reminder that the alternative is sending MP4 or MPEGTS chunks via HTTPS with terrible overhead and latency. Also, we're discussing it in a thread about something that converts camera stream into MJPEG.

RTMP works via TCP just fine, although it's not the best protocol either (but better than HLS)

I don't want it to be handled in JS. Let's just add RTP/RTMP/SRT/whatever support to browsers. They already include full ffmpeg libraries anyways.
Looks like it could be helpful but after spending over two minutes looking for pricing and not finding it I'll never know.

I refuse to even try a product that won't be upfront about pricing. Don't 1) tell me I can get two months free, 2) offer to let me take a test drive or 3) ask for my email address before you've given me a chance to review your standard price model.

I'm sure in the long run I am missing out on some really cool things but I started noticing this trend of hiding pricing to force engagement years ago and I have gotten to a point where I simply refuse to play along.

Happy to hear I'm wrong and there is an obvious "Check out our prices!" link that I just completely missed...
Yep. The moratorium only made it that you can't evict someone. It didn't make it that your tenants didn't have to pay. However, many tenants (for a variety of reasons that may not be their fault) chose to use the money elsewhere. So now the moratorium is ending and the thousands of dollars of missed rent payments are catching up.

Some states had programs that would provide some money to renters to help them with that, but it wasn't enough for a lot of people.

If rentals were illegal the price of buying a 1300 sq. foot home might have been 100k instead of 700k. So I stand by my belief that it's - oh there's already a name for it - rent seeking.

> A collision between two India-bound Emirates planes was averted at Dubai airport on Sunday. Reports said that the Hyderabad-bound plane was accelerating for take-off from runway 30R when the crew saw another aircraft coming in the same direction at high speed. Take-off was immediately instructed to be aborted by the ATC. The aircraft slowed down safely and cleared the runway via taxiway N4.

Option A:

1) Leeches occupy housing without paying

2) Paying renters compete for constrained supply of housing not occupied by leachers

------------

Option B:

1) Leeches kicked to curb

2) Paying renters compete for entire supply of housing

---------------

Option B has higher supply for the competing demand. Prices should fall, unless all leeches become paying renters.
One thing that helped a lot of people is the stimulus money they received. I know there are a lot of stories out there about people using that money frivolously, but the statistics [0] show that roughly half of the stimulus money was spent on rent and bills. If we hadn't spent all that money on stimulus checks, then the current situation could be much worse.

That's exactly the sort of operation for which backup branches can help.

When you rewrite history, Git makes new commit objects that have the same topology as the original branch topology. It also updates the branch pointer to point at that new HEAD commit.

History rewriting commands essentially just fork the repo at some point in the past and create an alternate commit history. The original commits still exist, at least for a little while. Git will eventually garbage-collect them.

By creating a backup branch, you're "pinning" those old commits. With the backup branch in place, after you run a command that rewrites history, you will be able to look at the commit graph and see the point where the backup branch and the rewritten branch diverged.

I used to do what you do until I learned more about how Git works internally. And Git's really not super complicated at its core. I think much of Git's complexity comes from the minutiae of the CLI options. (For example, when you want to delete something, do you use `-d` or an explicit `remove`? It depends on the command you're running.)

But hey, if you have a workflow that works, then you do you.

> To differentiate from Git Pijul should focus on usability... If Pijul has an easy to use interface like Mercurial did then that will massively help adoption.

Mercurial is effectively dead (outside of Facebook?) now. If the goal is simply to grow a project, repeating the same mistake doesn't seem like a good idea.

I don't think the goal or differentiation of pijul is to be popular via good UI, though. If the theory of patches is good, it doesn't matter if pijul "wins" or not, as long as whatever does can integrate it. If the theory of patches is bad, I don't want pijul "winning" just because it has a good UI.
"Fire the employee and hire someone off fiver to look at the script" This is exactly why the employee is incentivized not to tell his employer. whether he voluntarily discloses how the script works or not there is a pretty good chance he loses his job as soon as he reveals its existence even if management is thrilled about it and tells him what a great job he has done.

"in one of my orgs, I'd chat with the employee and find a solution" Its a law firm, what is OP going to do abandon tech and become a paralegal?

Your arguments are all very much ignoring the point of how every facet of this situation incentivizes OP not to tell management and that the most likely outcome of telling them is that they lose their job while the company benefits from OP's work and slashes a 90k salary. You are ignoring that OP as a rational actor can only take 1 of 3 actions.
1. Create the script and don't tell management. This is a win / win. Company gets its documents processed on time and OP keeps his job.
2. Don't create the script. Lose / Don't Win. Documents continue to be processed behind schedule but OP keeps his job but does hours of slow manual labor.
3. OP voluntarily gives company his script. Win / Lose. Company gets their documents processed on time, and saves 90k in salary. OP loses his job.

Option 1 is the only option where both parties win.

You can have the function requirements in the instruction text. So instead of isNumberEven, have "write a function that returns whether a number is evenly divisible by two."

It’s really odd. If they use the 09 runways and the 27 runways (depending on wind on any given day) then you have left traffic in the pattern on the north or south side. It could be some weird compromise with the neighbors about only having traffic on one side at a time. I really have no idea. But noise abatement in urban areas is a big deal so if it’s not geography the I’d guess it’s noise. I’m just a private pilot so maybe an ATP here can weigh in. I’ll ask around.

For a counter example look at Centennial in Colorado (KAPA) which had a similar setup and is my home field. They always have right traffic on one of the runways.
I feel it’s more to present a compassionate attitude, and prevent instability, big spikes. Plus there’s a cost in kicking people from their homes.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

The current state of things appears to be that internet and media/ad revenue AI machine seem to have come together to put us in an sort of shepard tone of fear and impending doom. Pandemic, war, inflation, division, shortages, crypto, every storm has a name, everything is record breaking. I have more to be grateful for than I've ever had before, in spite of all of this somehow- but I can see the inequality growing around me.

To me it seems like chaos has gone "viral." I don't know when or how it ends and we come out better for it.

Side channels are indeed a tough problem, but if all we have to worry about is side channel attacks, we'd be in a pretty good place overall. We're nowhere near that right now.
I wasn't even thinking in terms of compatibility. I don't really use the event functionality in any of the calendar apps, and I don't really share my calendars. I'm more concerned about just having the information I need where I need it.

I am interested in APIs, though, because those bring to light the underlying concepts people are trying to communicate. Examining APIs (I think) will show the problem domain clearly.
looking forward to more attention on nextcloud plugins!
That's a very strange approach to the situation, I'd say.

A much safer bet is that no one wants to be doing a job where they're practically front line fighters during a war, for measly pay.

I think a lot of doctors and nurses were reminded during this pandemic that unlike most other jobs, in case of major emergencies:

a) they can be conscripted to work in dangerous conditions

b) everyone expects them to actually do it

This is on top of the day to day responsibilities and risks (malpractice, etc). Much safer to just become an accountant.
the biggest problem in renting right now is the lack of tenant protections in many states. my landlord likes jerking me around and adding nonsense fees that (at my hourly rate) would literally be more cost effective to just pay instead of fighting with them.

granted, this is a college landlord that is just taking advantage of college students, but I should have more recourse than “sue them eventually” when my landlord charges me a $90 late fee on my $0 balance that requires 6 office visits to resolve.

the other problem with landlords is that they aren’t spending capital to build. they’re spending capital to buy. corporate landlords (say 25+ units) should not be allowed to buy existing single family dwellings imo.
I think so too :D

It's definitely something I am having in the backlog, but I cannot promise if and when it will be implemented.
Or that nursing was a shitty job and it's gone off a cliff since the pandemic started. Plus, nursing school is quite difficult and enrollment has always been constrained.

I admire anyone who sticks with it, but I certainly don't fault anyone who leaves to do literally anything else. The field is a horrific shit-show right now.

The big difference is that with bash (python, perl, php etc..) exploits, all you need is to upgrade a package, and you are secure. No need to touch any of the application code.

Compare it with C, where the bugs are likely unique per app, and require non-trivial effort to detect and fix.

Execution of user-specific code by serverless services requires non-trivial isolation, and is predicated on "each user has its own separated area" to work. This is not the case with most websites. Take HN for example -- there is a shared state (list of posts) and app-specific logic of who can edit the posts (original owner or moderator). No OS-based service can enforce this for you.
Skimming through this[1], for example, it looks like ~1%, though it seems that in some cases they are counting "medical workers" not just nurses.

There are definitely small firms that rely on the young paralegal who is a self taught super user. But that sort of firm wouldn't pay someone 90k for doing a small part of all IT.

Slight chance this person was hired as a "case assistant" or "litigation support" and not IT. Firms definitely hire that sort of person--though they usually bill their time--so hopefully the OP isn't submitting fraudulent time entries. But 90k is a lot for that sort of role without expectation that you are performing other tasks.
Like most efforts from Google, YTO was half-hearted and destined to fail. The same will be true in the very near future for Stadia.
If you’re a big enough landlord you want to have a certain percentage of evictions as a low eviction rate is a signal you should hike rent. When housing supply near jobs is as constrained as it is, evicting people causes more people to cram into a tiny apartment, which means you can charge more rent for that tiny apartment.
Oh. Really?

Why not compare the insane prices of thermal paste and compounds per volume/weight with the stuff that is used industrially?

>> I believe we’re in a content bubble.

> I don't think we are. I agree the the amount of just okay content that is being released seems overwhelming.

Agree.

It's a search space problem. If there was a perfect amount of ideal content, everyone would be glued to their screens 24/7.

Large and medium budget projects come in two forms:

- Easy win tentpole features. Marvel, Star Wars. Typically generic and bland (though they don't have to be) that can attract lots of eyeballs and starve your competition.

- Bold bets that garner attention by surprise. These surface the unknown or unmet interests of a broad number of consumers. Stranger Things (80's nostalgia and horror fantasy), Squid Game (Battle Royale / Hunger Games still has gas).

Netfix is trying to find a lot of the second category by firing shots into search space. It's producing mixed results, which should be expected. Unfortunately they can't slow down yet, because their third party content libraries are drying up.

The problem is that it's all too expensive. Difficult and costly to make, and too many things that can go wrong and turn any good project into something that sucks. Everything has to be perfect.

Netflix can afford to do more curation in the future once consolidation has happened. Perhaps buying NBC, CBS, or the new Discovery could give them some breathing room.
This is completely false. The federal stimulus packages had billions in subsidies to landlords. That's in addition to the indirect support that the govtlernment has provides (such as the stimulus checks). Also most states have additional money for landlords.

> This is the government foisting welfare onto the private sector rather than doing it properly.

This is the key point. It's the same with rent control. It's governments dodging its responsibilities, then pushing the costs to the private sector unevenly. If you really want these programs, send the people subsidy checks. It's more fair to renters, it's more transparent, and it makes it easier to track the true cost. Don't want to send out those checks? Maybe you shouldn't volunteer landlords to subsidize your social program.
So, to run with your for-instance, if we wanted to do all of that in a month, then we'd have to put 45 x 12 = 540 people on it. Nationwide. For a month, and then we're done. That doesn't seem particularly difficult.

Of course, it would take three years to roll out the computer application that they would need in order to make and document the decision, but that's somewhat a separate problem...
