I don’t understand what metrics you use for “more scalable” and “more maintainable”. If your application’s needs is sufficiently fulfilled by RLS, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel in the application level. Less code there to maintain is good.

Plus, I don’t see how “just by reading application code you can tell the expected behavior” doesn’t apply to RLS. Policies are written in a consistent format. USING for visibility, WITH CHECK for altering. I only have to keep an eye for these, and I’ll already get a good summary on what it does, no?

Right, I don't think you and OP are in conflict at all. Basically, GUIs presently suck. The average perfomance differences between TUI's and GUI's point directly to the fact that GUIs are very very bloated. There's no reason that a GUI shouldn't be as performant as a TUI, given the relative minimum it ought to take to convert one to another. A little vector here and raster support there should mostly take care of it.
I've familiarized myself with the relevant computervredebreuk legalese and read that our public prosecutor doesn't prosecute cases where all the responsible disclosure guidelines were followed. (Of course they'll still check that they were, since not every claimed white hat is truly a white hat.)
I don't see why resolution without a "symbol table" is a big deal. Knowing whether A is a type or not resolves these fairly easily. And in well written code, it should generally be obvious whether A is a type or not so it should not be a readability problem either.
Certainly true in my case - I live on the command line but currently being on a Mac, Docker is Docker Desktop.

The article assumes that we aren't living in a golden age. But in terms of pure science and technology you can argue that we pretty much are living in a golden age. Just look at physics, we're now in an age of gravity wave observatories, particle accelerators, and incredibly detailed surveys of the universe and a steady stream of high quality papers that would have drowned Einstein and the like.

Not to mention that science, math, and tech have become even more social and collaborative enterprises with large, sometimes huge, teams involved in making major breakthroughs.

So the article seems to be slightly lamenting that a single charismatic individual cannot corner an entire field in the public imagination any more? Or that they can, but they just do it for being an "entrepreneur"? Or maybe it's just that Elon Musk (for example) can only convince a small minority that he has expertise in any actually "real" field of endeavour (other than grift, PR, whatever) where in the past he may have been able to read a handful of books and sound a lot more convincing. Perhaps we just need to define genius more carefully.

As for whether highly privileged people will again decide to spend their money on tutors (instead of yachts or Rolex watches or whatever else they spend it on) seems to be a question of very niche interest and almost no social consequence.

> On 12 May, the Italian Association of Scientific Societies in Agriculture (AISSA), which represents 4,000 scientists in Italy, published a public letter defending the Puglian scientists and their work. “The claims do not have a scientific basis — that’s what has shocked the scientific community,” says Vincenzo Gerbi, AISSA president.

Unfortunately, such letters will forever be tainted by the legacy of Daszak & co. I used to think (perhaps naively) that scientists wouldn't make such public defences without clear reasonable evidence that what they were saying was true. The fact that it was done so brazenly in a worldwide pandemic that everyone was focused on, and still had very little negative consequences for them, makes it clear that the incentive structure is not too heavily stacked in favour of honesty and scientific integrity.

I don't know about internet cafes specifically, but pretty much all cafes have internet these days.
CPUs in the automotive space are primarily chosen for being cheap, and with the right number/kind of IO. If you do enough stuff¹, it's certainly possible to reach the CPU load limits of a single core CPU, and it might cheaper to upgrade to a dual core than put in another ECU (also, faster ECUs with the same IO/arch might not be available).

I've also seen arrangements where the dual-cores have separate memory spaces, and one core acts like a safety processor/monitor while the other is the main compute module.

1: examples of CPU intensive stuff include active damping, active aero (spoilers), active rear steering, steer by wire, etc. You may think these things are irrelevant w.r.t. an engine ECU, but if the engine ECU is responsible for producing torque, then systems like traction control, stability control and etc are all directly related to torque production

OP's employer would likely want to avoid looking complicit in hacking a direct competitor to their line of business. What they did does not look overly unreasonable from that POV, the problem is OP put them in a pretty bad position. It's not just about being factually right either, appearances can matter too.

Ideally!

In practice, for use cases where you're spelunking through different directories and running different commands: you're going to have an easier time either staying in a terminal (where opening a GUI to perform a task is awkward), or an easier time sticking with a GUI (where opening a terminal to run a command is awkward).

Currently, TUI provides many of the benefits of a GUI, without having to leave the terminal.
This is why it is a good idea to use Tor or a VPN for most things or even just for when you casually go reverse engineering a competitor's product :)

You missed the part where he immediately reported the vulnerability to his manager, security team and execs and got the assurance that it was being handled. If after that he is still thrown under the bus and fired, it's clear that someone at his own company dropped the ball and put the blame on him. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual fraud was committed by one of these people as well, using the very hack that he found and disclosed.

> According to SEC filings, as of October 2018 only $1 million of those shares had been sold and the company had a $37.4 million deficit, largely from a stock incentive plan for its employees, prompting Ars Technica and Vice to question its financial sustainability.[4][5]

I happened to read the SEC filings when they were doing this and am certain it's fine and Vice reporters just don't know how startup finances work.

What I did notice is that the perfectly normal looking and very detailed Form C didn't say the company owned any IP from alien spaceships or was going to acquire it. Their website definitely suggested it though, so if you're lying you could sue for securities fraud.

I appreciate that an open source developer is likely to be burned out on some people's expectations or unthinking requests, but that page was too long for me to even skim.

Usability-wise, one could lead with a terse bulleted list of "use cases" for which people should contact you, and how.

Then state you can't handle all the other usual reasons people want to interact with an open source developer, maybe giving examples. Then follow it with explanation of why.
Where is this muddying happening? The only place I've noticed it is on HN, where others always correct the poster by pointing at the Open Source Definition.

Maybe it is time to ditch both "open source" and "free software" and go with something that has a clear meaning that isn't possible to muddy, like "libre software", prefixed with "always" for copyleft licenses and "currently" for permissive ones.

Is that so? The answer seems to be in your quoted section, but infuriatingly, that contains garbled english right at the key point.

If the quote said:

.. then that would be a slam dunk - no t-shirt sales allowed. But it doesn't.

The way it is actually worded, it sounds more like it would be OK to sell t-shirts, as long as it wasn't being done "to misleadingly divert Internet users. But that doesn't really make sense either.
Just scroll down in the thread.

You're right, and C++ is hopeless to parse without a symbol table in other ways. Later versions of C++ added keywords to disambiguate, but of course there's legacy code.

Who is molding who in this threat model you describe? What human nature need we be cautious of here?

In my view, the West's only wake up is that they are right, 100%. Ukraine began a low long slog to kick off corrupt, useless authoritarianism. The government was shocked & surprised when they pushed for authoritarianism & anti-European policies & got serious kickback during the Euromaidan color-revolution, the revolution of dignity. People resisted molding then: in that we agree. But human nature was to seek democratic ideals, to let our voices free, to cast off molding from the state then.

And that's still the heart of what petrifies & goads Russia into this vile war: Russia has to believe in molding people, has to believe it can exert top down control over people. Russia is insecure that it cannot shape human nature. Human nature, in a connected world, has perspective to understand iniquity & injustice & illegitimacy & the individual works to better mold society towards a more healthy & self-legitimizing state/State.

The chattering classes have been right about their own virtue, about how vile sad corrupt & unjust the alternatives are. What we are seeing is someone unwilling to be molded by the this superego desire for betterment. That person is not moldable, they are set in their ways, but to think that there is not a malleability, a flux within society, is exactly the wrong lesson to take out of all of this. This is a gasp against flux & change & re-molding.
> Directly informing the effected bank and then informing your then employer would've been a better solution?

You're conflating laws and enforcing those laws in a legal sense with the capability of a private or public company to control what is published on their platform. It is the reason a president was removed from social media platform(s) and this action was considered fair and constitutional. In this context the concept of hate-speech absolutely exists.
I get that.

And on average for loans which are repaid that is true.

But the concept speaks to a "limited supply of money" theory which does not in fact exist.

There are loans which are not repaid, which are subject to default, to bankruptcy, in which the debtor dies before the loan is repaid, etc., and for which the creditor ultimately writes off the balance.

Under a growing economy, that doesn't occur at a rate which exceeds total loan revenues --- moneylending is a net-positive activity. And I will grant that virtually all post-WWII economics is premised on the notion that total wealth will and does grow, which is wired into all sorts of models, laws, policies, and practices. But it is not necessarily the case, and a fiat currency system can in fact address this directly. (Much will have to change for this to be the case, but it's not inherently impossible.)

This does create a huge vested interest in perpetual-growth ideologies. Again, I don't deny this. But again, it does not necessitate this.

I’m not suggesting you can’t add value, but that it grows asymptoticly towards a limit.

Human ingenuity is scarce and even if it wasn’t, I’m allowing for some things to be not scarce in practice, like information and maybe energy someday.

But concrete / metals / something physical will be scarce, and as long as it is, the rest of the economy cannot tend towards infinity. Otherwise, in the far enough future, this scarce thing would be essentially free.

Most interesting part about this for me is the name. I was never aware of there being a GA 3. It seems like every product went from numbered versions to continuous updates like when windows went to 10 and declared there would be no more numbered versions. But now the trend seems to be reversing and everyone wants that yearly numbered announcement with the hype that comes along with it. I wonder if we will start seeing more consumer software and online services hold back features to go in one big release rather than letting them drip out as they are done.
I'm pretty sure running destructive pen tests on a competitor using work resources without any prior authorization from either company counts as doing your job improperly.

McDonalds, shit. I used to write software. There's definitely more to it than the hourly rate. Just the same, it's a good thing my wife's job offers good health insurance :-)

Back to pricing though: I shoot for an hourly rate when I quote things knowing full well that sometimes I won't hit it if I run into unanticipated learning opportunities. Sometimes I price myself out of work/the customer doesn't have a realistic expectation for what a thing should cost. It is what it is.

Hilariously, I have a friend in the trade who's married to a pricing analyst. He has as much trouble pricing his work as anybody else I know.
