Major League Baseball (MLB) | Senior Full Stack Engineer | NYC or SF | https://www.mlb.com/careers/opportunities?gh_jid=3786700

We are looking for a software engineer who enjoys solving data problems using visual tools primarily aimed for web (eg. d3, three.js, WebGL, etc). Given that it's MLB, the domain is primarily baseball! But we do tackle problems in interesting technology domains, like video processing and camera projection.

Our latest project is currently working on animating real time skeletal data: https://mlb.com/news/fieldvision-plays
FloppySwop: Share files that would fit on a floppy disc
He told investors the same thing last year. Elon milestones mean nothing.
> Is there any non-airgapped use case that doesn't require authentication?

Here's one: Say you maintain the devices in your home LAN/WLAN, and you would like to centralize the storage/access of certain data like photos, music, video, shared Keepass DB files, etc. Let's also assume that you don't have a local threat model in your home network that includes "highly technical people that know about setting their UID who wish to access files you don't want them to see or have write access to". I would argue this is a semi-common home scenario for many of us. Perhaps you want your SO and/or child to have access to shared files on a NAS which supports NFS, and you don't have any Windows endpoints to worry about.

In this scenario it's perfectly fine to just setup the devices which you want to have access to the NFS share(s) and completely ignore authentication for the file sharing protocol. If you're worried about WiFi guests that might be savvy or curious then simply create a guest-only wireless network that can get out to the internet but not the LAN.

The above works fine for me, personally.
I'm missing a huge piece of the process it seems. Sounds like I need a "how it works" section.

Thank you so much for your honest feedback!
AMD Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results
rqlite author here, no, they are quite different. To quote the rqlite FAQ:

"dqlite is library, written in C, that you need to Integrate with your own software. That requires programming. rqlite is a standalone application -- it's a full RDBMS (albeit a relatively simple one). rqlite has everything you need to read and write data, and backup, maintain, and monitor the database itself.

rqlite and dqlite are completely separate projects, and rqlite does not use dqlite. In fact, rqlite was created before dqlite."

Yeah, an SSID is meant to be a publicly available address. You can always hide them if you want.

New Affiliate Marketing Network Gives You Bitcoin for Posting on Social Media
Perspective is weird with large amounts of money. I think human brains are just not good at big numbers. You need something to compare it to, and the big numbers of other companies still leave it completely abstract.

Perhaps it might work better with a comparison to a person, like "Alphabet made so much revenue this quarter that, assuming they had no expenses, after a full year, Alphabet would have roughly as much money as Elon Musk." But maybe not, because now you've just moved the problem to understanding how rich Elon Musk is.
I believe the McNamara Fallacy is a real thing, although I would say Goodhart's Law expresses the more fundamental issue. But, the examples they give (Vietnam and Afghanistan wars) are bad examples, because in both cases the issue was primarily not that the U.S. military was relying too much on quantitative metrics, but rather that it was being asked to do a job which militaries are not good at.

In neither case, despite what many deniers and apologists proclaim, was the war "winnable" by the military, because in both cases the primary problem was that the government of the nation in question did not have the respect (and thus support) of its people. There is no strategy that an outside military can use, which will fix this, because it's not a military problem, and a military has the wrong personnel, the wrong training, and thus the wrong institutional mindset.

It is as if you sent the Red Cross in to defeat the Viet Cong or the Taliban, and then concluded that the reason they failed was that they were measuring numbers of hospital beds and counting how much medical equipment they needed. It was the political leadership, who decided this was a job for a military to perform, that was the root problem. McNamara's metrics were neither here nor there.

I open ibisPaint on my phone and draw a little bit. While I started this habit after getting a Moto g stylus, I quickly upgraded to a higher end Meko capacitive stylus for the task.

The difference between phone drawing and going over to a dedicated workstation or opening a sketchbook is in the immediacy and casual feel. You can be browsing social media feeds in an idle moment and see a picture you like, download it on the spot and open it to do a little study. ibisPaint is designed for mobile and does a good job of getting out of the way(unlike some of the downported desktop apps that have their UI crammed into a tiny screen). Because it's digital, you have some important comfort features(undo, rulers, layers) which make it less of a tribulation to iterate on your work - you can trace over your photo in a layer, and then go back and try stylizing it in a second layer, or test your ability to recall the image by hiding the original and then showing it again to check. These experiments are easy and have real value - they don't need as much "warm-up time" as a programming problem. And you get to build some art skills.
Some people don't care that it's slow. Availability and uniformity is much more valuable for example in school environment, especially at one where they teach IT one hour per week and the teacher is not really a programmer themselves.

I've used my homebrew c2rust converter[1] to translate lodepng and pngquant[2] libraries to Rust. My two key takeaways are:

Good test coverage is essential for this. Count how many bugs you've written when you were writing this code for the first time. Even if your bug-rate is 99% better during the rewrite, that may still be a significant number. Fine-grained tests aren't necessary, but end-to-end tests that touch every feature are crucial to catch regressions.

Once the rough conversion is done, it is necessary to refactor the code to take advantage of Rust's idioms to get safety benefits. Just 1:1 conversion is underwhelming, and it feels like replacing gcc with rustc. I did not realize just how recklessly pointer-heavy C tends to be until I saw it through Rusty lens.

The lodepng conversion was "meh". It's a good C code, but its structure was very different from what you'd do in Rust (e.g. Rust prefers generics over pointer casts, iterators over indexing or pointer arithmetic, has interfaces for steaming processing that C lacks). I don't know how far I can refactor the code to Rusty idioms and still call it lodepng :)

OTOH the pngquant codebase was mine, and I'm happy with the results. When converting I took advantage of Rust idioms, and the Rust version is nicer to maintain and even a bit faster.

rqlite author here. It's not a stupid question. :-) In fact, I answer it head-on in the rqlite FAQ. To quote:

"rqlite is very simple to deploy, run, and manage. It's lightweight. It's a single binary you can drop anywhere on a machine, and just start it. This makes it very convenient. It takes literally seconds to configure and form a cluster. With rqlite you have complete control over your database infrastructure, and the data it stores. That said, it's always possible it's too simple for your needs."

This new generation of air defence can also serve our friends in the region, who are also exposed to grave threats from Iran and its proxies.

This is admirable. Instead of playing the typical offense-first arms race, they are in a defense-first technology race. Its non-violent and the technology and skills will benefit the entire country. I hope they eventually win the war just by building a far better country that people want to immigrate into instead of attack.
Is there any other field that relies on multiple huge arrays of sensors, distributed around the world, that generate huge amounts of data non-stop? Data that is not only fed into processing pipelines but needs to be explored? Meteorology maybe. Something else?

She actually explains that in the article:

"one object might be anywhere between roughly 50 gigabytes to maybe a terabyte. By the time I'm done reducing that data and imaging it, it'll probably have roughly tripled to quadrupled in size. I tend to have larger surveys, so by the time I'm done I might have several tens of terabytes of data."

No, but the data they handle regularly is just much, much larger than in many other fields.

No, microG is a partial reimplementation of some of the functionality in the Google Mobile Services (GMS) app. Unfortunately, this approach has significant drawbacks. In order to install microG, your version of Android OS needs support for spoofing the cryptographic signatures of apps. Some OSes like LineageOS and CalyxOS allow this. See [1] for some pointers about why this is considered harmful.
There was also a recent fairly serious infoleak bug in microG [2] that in my opinion was caused by its broad scope.

The way it works in GrapheneOS is that the OS redirects Binder connections (an IPC mechanism in Android) to a trusted, bundled app (GmsCompat) which will only implement the Play services location API in the foreseeable future. The rest of the Google Play functionality is implemented by GMS itself.

More like the data about COVID is used as fig leaf for metrics in other areas actually driving the decisions, or ideology/dogma.

If you go with hard data and experience, you'd do hard moves like China (and many other asian countries did). In fact, similar moves have been done in the past in Europe (on the communist side of Iron Curtain) to stop epidemics, including even manual contact tracing.

But because a non-trivial force in decision making has strong other incentives, and because of dogma like disbelief in aerosol transmission, we end up with really bad decisions with fig leaf of data analysis.
I'm not interested in cars I can't own. This idea that we'll turn cars into some kind of service and convert roads into places filled with company-owned vehicles is completely foreign. At that point it'd be cheaper to have self-driving buses and subways. I can only think this viewpoint comes from people who have only ever lived in cities where car ownership is inconvenient given the lack of personal garages. At the moment the only company working towards this idea is Tesla, which is unfortunate. I'd like to see more companies working towards selling self-driving vehicles to customers.
Not sure if you're just calling blockchain development meaningless work in general, or referencing proof-of-work, which refers to meaningless computation done for blockchain security despite the unnecessary wastefulness.

If you're referencing the latter, maybe it's worth pointing out that all the blockchains using Rust (or the popular ones anyway) are proof of stake.

>We had one on our street called FuckOffAndGetYourOwn which I always liked

There was an SSID in my building called "Free Palestine." A couple years later, someone created another one called "The Shin Bet."[0]

I found that to be both disturbing and amusing. After the Muslim grad students on the third floor moved back to Australia, "Free Palestine" disappeared, and when the orthodox Jews moved out of the fourth floor, "The Shin Bet" went away too.

Now it's mostly boring, and while I may be doxxing myself (if you can see this SSID, reply here as we almost certainly live in the same building) but I still have the SSID GranMal (an ironic reference to this[1]).

Moral: Looking at SSIDs can be fun!

I haven't live in that era, so maybe it's not my place for me to say whether Morris was particularly soft on him. I think the fact that he said that it was the president's responsibility, that revealed a lot about him.

On the other hand, given the Fog of War did play back a recording where Johnson had a much different view on Vietnam than JFK, I wouldn't put the burden solely on McNamara's shoulders either.

Regardless of what one might think of his role, it was still quite enlightening, and I think more people should watch it. I think the lessons outlined in it are useful, but too few have taken heed of it.

> that isn't useful at all unless it is paired with an entity matching system

You can obviously provide entity disambiguation as part of schema.org-formatted data - it's very much part of the spec, for any "entity" type. In most cases, just linking to a well-known description of the entity (such as a wikidata.org/entity/Qnnnn URI if it's generally notable) is enough. The same works to disambiguate named entities as part of running text.
rqlite author here.

Good summary, I generally agree. rqlite installation is also very easy, thanks to Go. Single, statically-linked binary you can just drop on your machine. rqlite also has a really simple build process (another explicit goal -- just execute 'go build') making it easy to build it yourself -- giving you a high-level of control over the actual software you run.

Agreed. My primary test for a recruiter call is to ask them if the position is funded and what the title is. Recruiting warehouses will often say they want to ask me a few more questions before answering that, and the truth is they're scouring Indeed for the same jobs I could find on my own and adding a recruiter commission to the bid.
I may have a better eye for it than most, all the way to having made my own browser extension to turn justification on paragraphs off. However, if I do turn on left-aligning on the linked example, I get plenty of very jagged right edges—which means that with justification all that uneven space gets shoved between words.
The reality at all the companies I've worked for is that you are handed resumes, one or two at a time, from HR or a recruiting partner. You interview those 1 or 2 until you find a good/great candidate. Then you stop interviewing, make an offer, and wait for reply. You don't interview 50 people then choose the best and most diverse candidate.

Your "action" doesn't fit with the reality I've experienced.

I think cold start times on modern GPS units are on the order of 30 seconds now. Even if you lose all almanac and ephemeris data, and don't know what time it is. AGPS is nice (2s cold start times), but by no means essential for a decent user experience.

(The datasheets are not a lie. I have had a ZED-F9P on the shelf for a month or so. Plugged it in and had a fix in 32 seconds. The delay was that I could only see 3 GPS satellites, so had to fall back to the slightly slower multi-constellation warm start.)
