For a long time on Windows, I had to "copy" a complex directory structure, never use "move". A file lock could bork it.

No meaningful indication what file was locked. No meaningful indication what was locking the file. The process simply stopped.

It got much better after Win 8 onwards.
I don't think it is. The person I'm responding to seems to be implying that the USG doesn't worry about HTTPS because they've broken it or otherwise extralegally subverted it. I'm saying that the USG doesn't worry about HTTPS because they have effective legal mechanisms for domestic investigations, and using extralegal means domestically is more of a headache than it's worth.
Thanks for the suggestion, this looks great! At a glance LXD seems to be a much more robust version of what I've built. Time to learn something new I guess lol.
Your point is you think you understand anything about spam without working a day in your life in the field.

My statements are backed by experience.
Looks like I've been getting it wrong for years. Thanks.
This is awesomely well written. There's a certain self-congratulatory style that a lot of more senior developers sometimes find themselves falling into, that I really feel like this avoids; it's wonderfully engaging.

Unfortunately I still don't find myself understanding it very well... And I'm a professional backend engineer. I just spend all day writing Python; I keep the database hits of my code to the minimum that I can, and if something is broken, I figure out how to fix it, and I call it a day. I don't know very much about SQL. Where should I start?
Agreed ! Usually when you look at these "haters" there is nothing of value in their "submission" sections under their profiles, which usually tells me exactly how to "read" the comment(insult).
I'm disappointed that Jacky Rosen (D - Nevada) is a co-sponsor. She's a former software developer and should know better.

I just watched some of the Senate hearing on Log4J and she seemed reasonably together on security, open source etc. I was feeling optimistic that she could become the Senatorial analogue to Judge Alsup[1]! But if she's on board with EARN IT, scratch that idea.

That might be the case for rocket mechanics but watching this interview between:

1.02.40

and

https://youtu.be/DxREm3s1scA?t=5641
1:34.01

looks more like the case of the manager repeating stuff heard from the engineers discussion.

Lex Fridman asked the questions, was the one that clearly layout the challenges, and kindly enough repeated the answer that Elon Musk was not providing. Meaning its not a problem of "vector space". Humans interpret the world and give semantic meaning to the scene in front of them.

He repeated it several times as Elon Musk answers completely missed the critical challenges, until he was perceptive enough to pick and regurgitate back the examples Lex Fridman was providing. Like the one where a human would not miss the fact that although some children temporarily disappear from your field a vision as you overtake a school bus for example, they are likely to appear in front of you as they will try to cross from the front of the bus to the other side of the road.

The interview is actually concerning, as its basically Lex Fridman explaining to Elon Musk the challenges and points he is supposed to address, and throwing him a soft ball while he was running around as this is simple, easy problem of creating a "vector space".

Curiously he does pick up on hints a bit later, but still concludes and reluctantly goes on to declare the problem will be fully solved by middle 2022... At 1:26:48: https://youtu.be/DxREm3s1scA?t=5206
> The difference between async/await and pre-emption is that execution will only yield at an await instead of possibly any time.

Yes, that’s a critical section.

Every thread on your computer is constantly being preempted by the OS thread scheduler. It doesn’t matter to your code, just like it doesn’t matter in a preemptive task system, unless you are manipulating global state without a lock and someone else is trying to manipulate it behind your back. Preemption is a feature, not a bug.

> And yes, you _can_ guarantee task order A then B by having Task B await A.

What…? The whole point is that these are separate tasks started by the GUI framework as asynchronous callbacks. They can’t wait on each other because they don’t know about each other. If you think Go code can’t run its own instructions in a specific order… what?! So of course Go could do that too. But that’s not at all what I’m discussing!

> However, you're focusing on task order, I'm talking about the order of instructs of a tasks acting like critical sections.

I just don’t feel like you know how Go works. The order of instructions is the order you write them, barring any funny compiler optimizations which also apply to C#. It’s not “magically” running all instructions of your function in parallel or something. Whether the task gets interrupted or not is irrelevant — it will resume where it left off. As long as you synchronize access to global state, no one will be observe the interruptions to the task, exactly like how your operating system is interrupting your program constantly and you can’t even tell.

“Implicit threading” isn’t even the right term here, since that implies the compiler or runtime is automatically forking your code into parallel sections for efficiency. Go does not do this. If you write a for loop, it executes every loop iteration sequentially. It doesn’t do wacky things like you seem to believe.

> You can bemoan the fact that UI systems are designed around single thread access, that that's messy or whatever but its just the reality.

That’s not at all what I’m “bemoaning”. If that’s what you’ve gotten from this conversation, then I’m utterly bewildered. I’m done trying to get my points across if communication has broken down to this degree.

It's important in this instance to distinguish how wolverine876 thinks the system should function and how the system is intended to function. It's possible for it to simultaneously be the case that you hate the system and that the system is working as intended.

In the US the people elect a government, the government passes laws creating rules (or passes laws delegating rule-making authority which is functionally the same thing) for, among other things, how information gets declassified. That information then gets declassified or not in accordance with those rules.

> we don't know what we're missing.

That is literally always true, it's impossible to prove that the government isn't hiding something.
I've made a Dutch podcast about my first five years being a professional programmer at a web agency: clients were blatantly lied to, colleagues were pressured into doing all kinds of unethical stuff, I considered quitting programming altogether after a couple of years — it was a wild ride

I made it into a podcast because I wanted to practice my editing skills, but it was also kind of therapeutic being able to talk about all this. So I don't care whether there's a huge audience. Creating the podcast was a goal in itself, which I achieved :)

Sometimes that's a good idea, sometimes it might make things worse. A previous server that had a RAID-1 of SSDs was limited by SSD write speed. As the SSDs got old the write speed dropped significantly. If I had 2 servers that each had the same brand of SSDs then one server would need both SSDs replaced while if I had 2 servers with different brands then each server would need a single SSD replaced which would have been more hassle.

> The ISS is literally the most expensive physical structure we have ever built, and it's like 5 floating schoolbuses.

Most of that cost was in the cost of launching it (and the inflation in the price of the modules knowing that they are "priceless" and "can't fail" and "we can only build one copy of it"). Further it's all engineered to very fine margins. The more you get your margins down the more cost these things take. One-offs of anything tend to be expensive. One-offs of very tight margin things are even more expensive. There's nothing in the ISS that is especially exotic. It's copper wiring and aluminum pressure vessels.

Any mention of concerns over encryption are with a really incredulous, dismissive tone. I have a hard time understanding whether that's actual ignorance on the part of the Senators, or if it's some kind of theatrics that plays into the broader politics of the situation.

For the past ~6 years, I've been building and maintaining a website for a text-free visual programming language called BlockStudio at:

https://www.blockstud.io

The site has < 10 monthly active users on average, but they're middle-school (or younger) kids, and some of them have been using it for years now! It brings me great joy to work on it in the evenings whenever I can make time for it.

It's easy to prove you wrong, but doing so requires accepting that MAD is a fool's errand.
The way it used to work in NYC was you'd just collect takeout menus from restaurants you passed by that you thought you might want to order from. Then you'd call, place an order, and that was it. Delivery was free, too, before the apps took over.

The system worked fine. Biggest problem was sometimes the person who picked up the phone had a heavy accent, but that's why the menus numbered their items.

In NYC, all Seamless has added to this equation is the ability to pay to get food from outside your delivery zone.
Interesting. The parent thread in the linked forum said that other bodies used a different method, so I assumed that was the standard.

> Yep, it applies to almost every AE SLR ever made. Notable exceptions were cameras like the OM-4 that metered off the film during exposure, or others that meter off the closed shutter curtain before exposure. But the vast majority meter from the focus screen so are susceptible to light entering through the eyepiece.
Yes, that is much better. I still think that's way too much time but under that system everything I grew up with would already be public domain which is a fair outcome. These corporations have already made their fortunes several times over, there's absolutely no need for them to have a virtually perpetual monopoly on anything.

Some idiot in a big country can do the same.
And governments now outsource some of their functions to bigger corporations as a loophole around human rights- mass spying and censorship, for example.

According to the interviews Anders has given that has been by explicit design.

Anders very much creates 'pragmatic industry languages' that optimize for the broader use rather than the individual use. An important part of this is ability for various developers to work on each other's code bases, relatively efficiently.

The contrast to this is a Clojure where you can end up creating basically a DSL that's optimized to the problem space, but that language is then unique to the application and with a higher learning curve when a new developer has to pick it up.

In one of his interviews Anders specifically said he doesn't like AOP because it allows the creation of 'magic' that is hard to understand for other developers. And that's very true at the margins - sure the standard use cases of e.g. logging are not so hard to grok, but it's possibly to weave together incredibly complex/hard to understand/hard to reverse engineer/easy to misunderstand systems when AOP is used heavily or exotically.

So it makes perfect sense when considering he is optimising for an 'industry language' not a 'superstar whose code is hard to average developers to work with' language, that AOP is not in the core language, especially considering extensions such as PostSharp are available.
In the post I wrote 'between the 2 SSDs SMART reports 18 uncorrectable errors and “btrfs device stats” reports 55 errors on one of them'. That's 37 errors that BTRFS found that mdadm wouldn't have found. 37 errors out of 500G of data isn't a lot, but it depends where it occurs, if it's in the root directory then it will mess up your day (annoyingly BTRFS doesn't track where the errors were so you can't easily determine what the implications of not having BTRFS might be). That is not unusual, I have had similar things on almost all my systems that run BTRFS or ZFS.

Also I use snapshots too.
It's a pity that we should be completely carbon neutral around 2040 give or take a couple of years and power plants that go online in ten to fifteen years (if they are actually done by that time) save zero emissions until then.

Maybe? I’m an old millennial and I never subscribed to magazines for ads. I found out about my interests in other ways, but I did have the Internet by the time I was maybe 12 (in 1996 I’d guess). The only magazines I got as a teenager was 2600 and adbusters.

> I don't like ads spying on me and I don't like intrusive ads but ad in general are not evil to me.

For me I find all advertising intrusive and manipulative. I’ve never owned a tv because I just can’t understand why anyone would want to watch ads like that. I don’t like thinking in moralistic dualisms like good and evil, but I will say I’d be all for a world where advertising doesn’t try to steal my attention and manipulate me.
> On a side note regarding early sapiens: I never understood why most people assume that humans today are, on average, more intelligent than our ancestors 40,000 years ago.

because "intelligence" is a vague thing and it connects with education.

For example, the average person with a school education today can do math better than Leonardo da Vinci, which enables some stuff to be invented today more easily than before.

Apple technology was/will track on your phone directly via AI scanning text messages for nudity. The engine lived on your phone, not in their farm. Therefore your second statement I quoted would now be false. That's why everyone (or the ones in the know) was pissed.
From what I understand, Snowden had access to a whole trove of NSA data that he chose to leak. He might not have had similar access to CIA documents.

For me at least, its not the work tasks itself, its the dealing with the company and the amount of inefficiency that gets in the way of being able to do my tasks. When I do them, I enjoy them. Waiting a week for information and not being allowed to work on other tasks in the mean time will make anyone a little demotivated.

What you're suggesting is exactly what those corrupt senators want.

The reason why popular E2EE messengers are such a problem for authoritarian governments/regimes is the fact that it's transparent and enabled by default. This means that millions (or sometimes billions) of people have strong privacy without having to know anything about it.

Once E2EE is removed from these messengers, those authoritarians can focus on the rest.

Edit: one thing that really confuses me about this whole war on crypto thing is why would a democratic nation want to remove privacy from people. Don't they understand that democracy is fundamentally predicated on privacy? I have a feeling that they do.

Your citation #2 shows Household, Power Supply, and District Heating to total 52% of natural gas usage. Nuclear power can take over both for electric power supply and for home and district heat via electric heat pumps - which can be 250-350% efficient[0].

Twitter doesn't have the purest of intentions in harvesting user phone numbers, that's true. But the flip side of this, especially when I see people getting angry about apps that ask for phone number, is that it's not like 1990's or even 2000's anymore where you wanted to keep your phone number private. It's trivial to get a new phone number now and Signal makes it easy. There's also VOIP services like Google Voice (not sure if Twitter allows the use of VOIP numbers, though).
Oh absolutely, it rapidly falls apart when people employed by Google make choices about any of this. But Google is famously insistent on how humans don’t scale and for trying to automate everything with all their ai and algorithms. It feels like a real possibility that this entire process was only “supervised” by humans without any of them having an “actionable level of culpability” or whatever wording of choice the Google lawyers use to say “look people are involved but not involved enough you can sue us over this”. The level of stupidity we see with the ContentID system and it’s insane copyright claims on things like silence, white noises static, birds chirping, cats meowing, etc… it’s very very easy to imagine that an entire pathway of their flagging and moderation system exists to throw away false reports on obviously ok content or automatically accept flagging on content they have trained machine learning models on to cross check borderline cases, or even automatically flag and demonetise content matching previously flagged and moderated content even without a human ever seeing it. The process may be “match past flagged content -> auto flag -> user requests review -> AI checks it against a model trained on other data -> still rejected -> user re-requests -> Google algorithms check some other thing before deciding if it’s even worth showing to a real person -> final rejection without even showing it to a person.

All this kind of stuff is private info Google doesn’t share and doesn’t want to share about internal processes and would have to be compelled legal disclosure involving an entire round of “sub-lawsuits”, blocking meaningful progress of the main lawsuit before it can even be established just how culpable Google is either by a specific human employee deciding, or some complex web of obligation on them being required to design to fulfill legal obligations such as not discriminating against protected classes.

The behavior of complex numbers under certain operations is seemingly the same mechanism as is seen in physical systems. The style of notation used in engineering usually denotes a periodic motion or a compound of many waves.

Of interest for physics is that without the imaginary part, real numbers alone are a leaky abstraction. This structure extends to quaterions and octonions.
