The best counter-argument was given by Alfred North Whitehead back in 1912:

"By relieving the brain of all unnecessary work, a good notation sets it free to concentrate on more advanced problems, and in effect increases the mental power of the race.

It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle — they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments."

This ignores the vast amount of software that interfaces with physical systems. When software fails and causes a rover to crash into the surface of Mars, there is certainly a cost and one cannot trivially start again from scratch. Same even with software that does not interface with physical systems, like algorithmic stock trading.

I'm reminded of the recent incident where the developer of the NPM "colors" and "faker" libraries put show-stopping bugs in those libraries in order to cry out for people to give him money. Both incidents reinforce my opinion that it's very hard to make a living making free software. Maybe a takeaway for free software developers is the need to have clear, realistic plan of how they're going to earn money and if it's going to be through their free software, to be very upfront about that with users. These two developers' attempts to get money may have been born out of frustration, yet their methods were underhanded and abused users' trust in them and their products.

In my opinion it's pretty clear. Rust promises memory safety to me, so all code that is safe IS memory safe. I need to mark a block "unsafe" and have an understanding with the compiler that it can't ensure memory safety here and I am on my own. Makes perfect sense to me :)
So first of all: I do have to clarify that I just use bare podman containers deployed by ansible and not a while k8s setup, so I'm defending containers and not k8s. But anyway:

Who said graylog is only logging on that single server? That server is by far the biggest and hence why I run multiple services with big dependencies on it, but I have that server, 2 cloud servers (one running my personal web page and other publically accessible services, one running a couple of game servers) + a couple of Raspberry Pis.

Even if I didn't have all that, a web interface to configure it to email on ssh login or send me a mobile notification that my offsite backups are still happening and/or not happening for devices or similar items would still be a nice feature, even if you personally feel it's too complex or you could write a cron job for each of them.
Why is transferring files to my device is called "side load" ? who's responsible for this propaganda ? is there a conspiracy ?
Yeah, similar event happened to the car industry. Analysts and factories forecasted dramatic slowdown in sales, so are rental car companies. Yet after the reduction in investments happened, it turned out consumers in COVID prefer to buy additional cars, or rent to go to smaller towns. Cue pandemonium. (And the supply chain shortages of chips)

To be fair, if COVID happened anytime before broadband is available to homes, the analyses wouldn't miss. Novel pandemic, novel technologies, novel situations all around.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a great steak in the UK. The beef is just very low quality compared to what is sourced in the USA. Far too lean in the UK. I and I generally find them a bit tougher too possibly due to more roaming by the cattle.

Now, UK pork on the other hand is tremendous.
reMarkable is on the expensive side cost wise, but otherwise a device that fits what you want. If you're on the technical side of things, it even provides a root shell over SSH if you want.
How can the blame be put on property developers?

Most of property costs can be tied to government policy, re: zoning, interest rates, tax laws etc.

The government is usually always the one that could fix the problem by encouraging building. E.g. in the US we have an 18% tariff on Canadian lumber, which artificially increases cost to build (though is meant to protect domestic lumber industry).

Many municipalities have zoning laws that prevent densification etc.

Government could easily require investors to put more money down in residential (New Zealand just did this), increase tax on non owner occupied, upzone to allow more dense homes/building, office to residential conversions, etc.

I’ve had two Kindles (a Voyage and a first‐gen Oasis) and never tied either one to an Amazon account. I’ve always kept them in airplane mode and sideloaded books over USB.

It’s unfortunate that Kindle doesn’t support EPUB but it’s easy enough to convert with Calibre, and some free book providers (like Standard Ebooks) provide compatible .azw3 for download.

Even though I’m not keen on how locked down Kindles are and their software and rendering quality could be improved, the physical form factor and ability to sideload is enough benefit that my next ebook reader will be a Kindle too, unless something clearly better comes along.
If that is the case, then banks in US are taking the same "ridiculous" trade by offering fixed rates to almost everyone, and will be decimated by any kind of interest surge.

It's not clear to some countries stick almost exclusively to fixed rate mortgages, and others stick almost exclusively to variable rates, but the people in "variable rate countries" have saved a lot of money historically.

Those 60 million Bison lived ~15 years on average. Cattle on the other hand rarely make it past adulthood, so those 33 million cattle slaughtered every year requires significantly more food.

That’s the core reason we are feeding cattle with farmed corn, you simply get more beef from the same land.
The transmissible factor being genetically favoured is a no brained, but frankly given 99.9% of cases did not result in death the morbidity of covid is arguably already very low, why should it favour a decrease over developing new symptoms likely to increase transmission such as stability in different environments (there is clearly a seasonal effect in the West and the virus would be more contagious is stable in the warm there).

Which leads to the question why should Omicron have become so less lethal if this is just the 4th strain with <100 mutations?

If you're already on windows (imageglass doesn't look cross-platform), why not use the built in photo viewer? It's pretty lightweight. It's not open source, but if it's already part of the operating system I don't think that's something to worry about.

Totally true. I really dislike Teams.

With the same account I had about the same bugs in Teams in different, OS with different computers, and even in my phone, and every time in every machine in every OS I had to close the application and open it again to solve it. They funny thing here is that they weren't account related fails, like not having permission to do Z thing, but not having audio, video, or being unable to watch a shared screen.

By the other hand, a simple thing like Google Meets have worked in any OS without any problem to most of the people I know, and the problems were usually related to microphone and webcam permissions.

Oh boy and I was just reading (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30022022) about ISO C unsuitability for OS programming specially its implicit reordering of the control flow of the code, breaking parts that are sensitive to the machine code generated.

I wonder if that point was introduce as a response for this ISO C nuance, does this means the machine code generated by ziglang code will be explicitly what each statement does?

>a good portion was dedicated to learning about ethics as well).

This is the first I've seen this point in the discussion. Engineering is considered a profession, distinct from a vocation. The term derives from professing an oath to serve the public in an ethical manner. If developers had to take a similar oath, I wonder if it would open them up to civil/criminal liability when they acted unethically (e.g., creating code in a social media application with the goal of manipulating behavior for profit)
I don't think integer overflow is an especially common source of buffer overflow. This isn't based on any hard data, but I'm pretty sure that the 2 main types of buffer overflow come from

1. not doing the bounds check.
2. not storing the the bounds with the array.

I agree with you. It's just not going to work to trust peoples credentials especially now that people from across the states can apply to our jobs. I'm a fan of take-home projects though. You still need to find a way to reduce the number to something meaningful but a take home gives them time to think about the task, but also gives me an opportunity to hear them walk through their code when we talk.

If they "cheat" by having stack overflow do their work for them, but they can explain it well enough, they probably understand the concepts at least.

> Like in no universe is it ever OK to do this even if nobody responds to your discord poll

As far as I can tell, they didn't even really make a Discord poll.

The first mention of "spider" (or "IP" or "proxy" or any related words) is from the release announcement of a version which already contains Spider, which got negative reactions: https://i.imgur.com/gLKce8W.png

It's very deceptive wording since "I made an announcement to poll people's reaction" is technically true, but it wasn't a poll or before the changes were made as is implied. Same with "There were very little comments", which leaves out the fact the comments they did get were negative and the low quantity is just from it being a small unknown Discord server.
They also _coincidentally_ implemented a feature that autoran ImageGlass as a background service a day before the malware was slipped in.
It was through the IRC channel. I sent a direct message as response and exchanged a couple of sentences, then they gave me their IBM email address to submit the detailed proposal. My understanding was that it would have to be justified and for that I would have to show that it could be more efficient than an implementation based on the existing SIMD instructions which I’m not familiar with. I suspect that the kind of instructions that could actually be put there might not perform better than that.

I regret not sending at least an amateurish proposal, I still think it would be a good idea to have no-cost UTF-8 en-/decoding. Not just for text, but for general variable-length encoding of other kinds of data.
But they cannot stamp a design, meaning it's not legal (depending on scope and permitting requirements). I can tell a person what ails them if they give me a list of symptoms but that shouldn't be conflated with me practicing medicine as a doctor. An HVAC technician can lay out a design for, say an operating room, but a licensed engineer is the only one who can stamp it saying it meets standards for ventilation. This where the fuzzy terms of "engineer-y" can get us into trouble. ~engineerish != engineer

Worked with McK on a modeling tool built with a data pipeline in Kedro - it's very opinionated as to how the pipeline has to be built, and I was not super convinced that it would be useful to use it in any other context (as in, outside of a collaboration with McK).

To everyone confused by this announcement: previous to this feature, on the most recent Kobos you had to do some pretty advanced stuff (for average users) to avoid having to log-in with an account. This eliminates that. As well, it may have been obvious to you, long-term user of these kinds of devices, that you could add your own books without going through their store. But, to those familiar with Kindle, where the store experience is front and center, that might not have been obvious. Kobo coming right out and saying you can do this is a win for consumers.

A question (and then I really need to stop talking about Covid):

Have we abandoned the idea of a covid vaccine, in the classical sense, ie one that renders the recipient immune to covid? We got mRNA vaccine, they didn't stop covid, and we started talking about preventing hospitalization and severe infection and everything else. Did we just give up one the idea that it's possible to make a better vaccine for it that stops it? The article is right that mRNA vaccines are not a "sliver bullet" but does that mean a silver bullet is impossible, or that we need to try something else?
