Cloudflare Identity. Auth0 or Okta offerings but built and managed by Cloudflare.

I do not feel comfortable sending clients to Auth0 or Okta, but I would be comfortable sending them to Cloudflare for identity services, and an engineering first org is better suited for providing this sort of critical service.
I'm honestly sick of this conversation.

Have we as an industry forgot how to make systems? that's pretty telling if so.

Why are people so utterly afraid of running their own systems.

If a SaaS platform goes down it's followed by "#hugops; running large systems is hard!", when someone says "Well, if it's hard, why not break it into smaller pieces and run it myself" it's met directly with "Do you think you can do better!?!".

Honestly, probably, maybe not. Why does it matter?

Those two things cannot be true simultaneously. You cannot say "running big systems is hard" and "they can run a big system better than you can run a small system".

I'm not going to fall into the trap of arguing points like the fact that if you own the data you can have your own D/R & backup strategies and the fact you can run maintenance's on your own time (hell: you can run maintenance's to migrate things around, which is more than github can do, which is not an indictment of them, just the nature of being a hosted service).

Honestly, I miss sysadmins. People who were not afraid of servers, even if they said "no" sometimes. Because, you know, being afraid of servers and hosting things is just pathetic.
Visual studio will be rebranded as the github app.
This one's very personal, it's only a good thing to do if you genuinely really enjoy it.

I used to be a maths teacher and I love maths, and would do it for fun outside of my job. That in turn often helped with the job itself, and certainly helped to keep my interest in the subject alive even when 90% of the job was teaching fairly basic stuff that wasn't particularly exciting.

I'm now a software engineer - I'm much happier in my job, but I don't love writing code enough to ever want to be doing it outside the 40 hours a week I'm paid for. I'm slightly jealous of the people who do, because I know first-hand that it's a great way to do better at work and keep feeling fresh and interested in what you do, but forcing yourself to do it doesn't bring any of the same benefits.
It's unfortunate that this was the take by EU politicians when everyone's favorite villain, Trump, was telling the EU nations to increase its NATO spending to the 2% guideline and was telling Germany to get off its Russian gas addiction or face the consequences. [1]

Well, Germany (and its politicians: shown laughing at Trump in the video) are now paying the consequences of blindly walking into yet another trade deal with yet another autocratic power. [2]

You'd think playing host to the horrors of WWII would have taught Germany a lesson or two of the consequences of such powers but no, it's business as usual. [3]

The naivety of the EU in global politics would be laughable if it wasn't directly funding the artillery barrages and murder of more than a hundred children now by Russia.

The economic models already describe the harms of pollution, and they have for a long time. The negative externalities of pollution are taught in an intro microecon class, so I'm really not sure why you would expect someone to receive a Nobel for discussing it.

You're pretending that laissez-faire economists represent the majority in the field, but that simply isn't true and hasn't been for quite a while. Your rants are about 30 years too late to be relevant.

The dean didnt actually say (or write) that. The article links to the tweet screenshot which shows what they did say. (I have no idea if they 'stood up' while typing it).

Someone else said something a little closer to that, but still not that. I've also linked to the Dean's response elsewhere in the thread.
Much love to all the people that make Clojure such a wonderful language to use.

I'm particularly happy with the new keyword args semantics, which solves a long standing pain point.
Good point, looks like I'm too late to edit, but here's a link [1] (excuse the R style indexing).

Yes, I love these things and very curious to see what hackernews comes up with. Project Euler was an eye opener for how things could be optimised in different languages.

If you just want to skate through life on the coattails of doers, that's up to you. But I think the time is long overdue that you hunkered down and grew up. Hope you can appreciate inappropriate sarcasm.

You've reminded me of an anecdote told to me by a relative from a previous generation. He said a friend bragged to him he could get 250 people on the street just by making 10 phone calls. The relative told him he could do the same with just one call. His friend asked him how. He told him, "I'll call you."

We're not actually in the same argument. Who you are has very little to do with who you know. Who you are is what you have done. Hopefully in the distant future, your obituary will give a summary of what you have done, then list your surviving immediate relatives. It may detail an occasion of you meeting someone notable, like a President. But an obituary will rarely if ever list the people you know because who you know is incidental and an accident of fate. And chances are pretty good if these influential people you know have advanced your career, it is probably because of what you have already done and not because you incidentally are acquainted with them.
Panama?
Not sure why you are being sarcastic. Being poor doesn’t mean people don’t deserve privacy. In fact it can enable for more business opportunities.

Government doesn’t operate in series on an issue one by one. This is why you have so many ministries in the govt. Just because roads don’t exist doesn’t mean govt should stop building railways and only think of roads.

>There exists a disparity between men and women when it comes to sentencing

There exists a disparity between men and women when it comes to behavior, which is reflected in sentencing. This is the key component that people are unwilling to acknowledge because they have been conditioned to express a visceral reaction to anything remotely appearing to suggest differences in behavior/decisionmaking among demographics. Which, again, leads us to the invalid assertion that all differences in outcome are born of unequal treatment; invalid because the other half of the answer is socially taboo.
My answer won’t be PC nor in line with most people’s view: fix it. Fix HMC, it’s a real problem that both you and others suffer. Dont ask for others to help guide you at this stage because nobody has fixed this as you’ve said yourself. Make it the rest of your life’s mission to fix this problem and make this disease disappear from humanity like so many others have.
Good luck.

Hi Connor! Thank you! I haven't considered universities – to be honest I'm focusing on making the interviewing flow as smooth as possible and from what I've heard proctoring tools are pretty intrusive (they want you to install their app, have your camera on at all times, etc.) but I'd be happy to change my mind!
Most people who use one of these will be doing so through an EC2 VM (or equivalent). Given that cloud platforms can spread load, keep these GPUs churning close to 24/7 and more easily predict/amortize costs, they’ll probably buy the amount that they know they need, and Nvidia probably has some approximately correct idea of what that number is.
At inference time it will be possible to do 4000 TFLOPS using sparse FP8 :)

But keep in mind the model won't fit on a single H100 (80GB) because it's 175B params, and ~90GB even with sparse FP8 model weights, and then more needed for live activation memory. So you'll still want atleast 2+ H100s to run inference, and more realistically you would rent a 8xH100 cloud instance.

But yeah the latency will be insanely fast given how massive these models are!
It's changed from a downstream distro to upstream. Rocky Linux has since appeared to take its place in the community, by one of the original CentOS founders.
missed opportunity to call it stealth matter instead of dark matter
Usually the architecture name isn't the only distinguishing feature of the product name, you don't need to remember Intel codenames because a Core 12700 is obviously newer than a Core 11700

Nvidia's accelerators are just called <Architecture Letter>100 every time so if you don't remember the order of the letters it's not obvious

They could have just named them P100, V200, A300 and H400 instead
More like a very reasonable C# that fits in your head :) Even C# programmers are complaining about feature creep.

Java's Project Loom will be superior to C#'s async/await.
Yea it's not ideal but really no option is. Built in to Linux would be a problem too given the rate of GPU driver development. Most Linux installs in the corporate world are stuck on the major version of the kernel and system packages they shipped with.
Try some Karmuh fun for remote team building
One of my favorite team-building tools with my remote team back in the day was karma on HipChat. We would use it to reward team members with the most karma at the end of the week. I built this Slack app to help teammates recognize each other’s accomplishments. If anyone is interested in trying it out, use your Slack email to send me a message at hello@karmuh.app once you’ve signed up to get an extended trial. Hope you like it!

OCI images don't necessarily mean lxc/docker style containers. Many are run directly on MicroVMs. https://fly.io/blog/docker-without-docker/ Ditto Google Cloud Run.
Are there any CI/CD metasystems that aren't vendor locked-in? GitHub/even GitLab, Jenkins (freestyle and scripted)/Azure/Travis.... all vendor-specific, as far as I know.

Sure, have all the heavyweight stuff in separate scripts that are just called, but platform specification/multiple platform builds/specifics of caching/secret handling/deployment handling are always different. Some tools (e.g. codecov) do abstract over some platforms, but not all, and the GitHub Actions model of "here is a literally pre-prepared step in your pipeline" can be pretty appealing.

It's literally, pick your poison, and resign yourself to reimplementation if you ever need to switch platforms.
Can I use this to create a user facing app with auth instead of just using it for internal use?
As a grad student in High-Energy Physics I worked at the XENON1T dark matter detector in Italy. I left feeling disenchanted about the search for dark matter, and I felt like a lot of us were just doing the best we could at the time, which was build a bigger and bigger detector to get more and more sensitivity.

One talk started with a lecture on the lamppost problem. It asked: why exactly are we looking for WIMPs? Because we know how to build a WIMP detector.

I'm not equipped to answer questions about dark matter anymore, but I will say that a lot of the knee-jerk comments in this thread underestimate how smart physicists are. Some of the most brilliant minds in science have contributed to dark matter cosmology. They are particle physicists, cosmologists, fluid dynamicists, and simulationists (reaching a little bit with the terminology here) all working together.

Science is progressing in the natural way of excluding theories from easiest to hardest. The fact that there are so many people working to exclude the "obvious" (or even "obviously wrong") theories should be evidence of how difficult this problem really is.

It may turn out that dark matter is explained by a non-particle phenomenon, or that it is matter that simply acts purely via the gravitational force and nothing else. I don't know what the implications of this would be. But none of that is obvious or easy to prove at the moment.

Nor is it easy to come up with a dark matter model which satisfies all the necessary constraints. You cannot just say, "there's some stuff out there" without collateral effects on (say) the distribution of matter in the universe.

For why we believe dark matter exists, see here: https://kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2021.5760...
But many large companies, like Brendan's, _do_ contribute to large projects that they use. To successfully adopt big pieces of OSS infrastructure, large companies often want some assurance that their bug fixes, performance improvements, and possibly feature additions can be upstreamed without too much pain.

It's hard to get brilliant jerks to accept new ideas. It's hard to motivate your engineers to invest deeply in toxic, unfriendly ecosystems. Of course, extreme technical success can outweigh many of these factors, but that's the exception and not the rule.
Getting sick less is a secondary benefit of not getting hypothermia. Being cold isn't really an enjoyable thing.
RISCV doesn't have condition codes, which makes building systems like this with lots of ALUs a lot easier, everything happens in the registerfile and the renaming system.

It does have 'sticky' state bits for FP and I can see how I'll implement them - the big problem is not setting them (because they can be accumulated in any order as instructions hit the commit stages), it's how you test them that effectively becomes a synchronising point in a pipe where you spend all your time trying not to do that - everything has to stop and line up in order before you can sense that state reliably.
Why outsource this to Okta in the first place? Cloudflare has the expertise and resources to do it themselves. So why rely on a 3rd party.
Yes, firemen and the technical personnel who had to turn off the power in a room with 1-meter long arcs definitely could have gotten hurt.

Also,

> the level of actual danger

was quite high, 10 meter is nowhere near enough to ensure a fire won't jump over and it might suit you not to make insinuations on the level of danger if you don't have enough experience in the area you're talking about.
Of course it is possible to screw up but if you don't update your packages and record the date that does not seem to be R's fault.
So is there anything useful in this? I see these dumps of big corporate data every so often, and so far I haven't seen anything materialize from them.
I believe that is correct. It’s also hard to make container builds really reproducible (even with other parts of the build being so).
Some sibling comments have talked about why.

Containers are to ops like C is to programming languages. Man is it useful, but boy are there footguns everywhere.

Usually still better than the ops equivalent of assembly, which is what came before though - all the custom manual processes.

Kubernetes is maybe like early C++. A bit weird, still has footguns, and is it really helping? Mostly it is in most cases, but we’re also discovering many more new failure modes and having to learn some new complex things.

As it matures, new classes of problems will be way easier to solve with less work, and most of the early footguns will be found and fixed.

There will be new variants that hide the details and de-footgun things too, and that will have various trade offs.

No idea what will be the equivalent of Rust or Java yet.

This is the container community’s response to this ambiguity I think.
I routinely replace such 1000 line Python scripts with five lines of bash. Usually, it's in the middle of some production incident, and the script is written for Python that's too new / old for the production machine, or pip does what pip does, or whatever.

Protip: These monstrosities usually end up accidentally invoking bash at the bottom, so just copy paste what it would pass to bash and reimplement the argv parsing.
Let's agree on "Pastor of Muppets."
Lol. Affirmative action has little impact on black admission rates at Ivy League schools. This has been shown time and time again. Whatever sort of historical anger Asian Americans have needs to be directed towards the group that maintains the status quo.

“We use public documents from the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard University lawsuit to examine admissions preferences for recruited athletes, legacies, those on the dean’s interest list, and children of faculty and staff (ALDCs). More than 43% of white admits are ALDC; the share for African American, Asian American, and Hispanics is less than 16%. Our model of admissions shows that roughly three-quarters of white ALDC admits would have been rejected absent their ALDC status. Removing preferences for athletes and legacies would significantly alter the racial distribution of admitted students away from whites.”

https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/713744

Plus, as a percentage of student population, Asian Americans are over represented at elite colleges. Both Black and Hispanic Americans have seen their representation decrease over the last 40 years. Asian Americas, in relative terms of US population, hold 4-5x the seats in top colleges. In some case 10x!

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/24/us/affirmativ...

But yeah, let’s blame the 4% black population at UCLA, or the 8% at Harvard for taking Asian Americans deserved spot. Oh, and probably 2-3 % of all black admits are international students.

How about the focus be on expanding school capacity? College admission rates have hit all time lows because of increased competition and a failure to increase capacity.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-pandemic-ivy-league-accep...

Its pretty ridiculously that in 1980 most Ivy League schools had admission rates between 20 and 30%. Low admission rates are not a sign of good health for our education system.
Most AWS dataplane services are on ALB + EC2, some of the newer higher level ones do use containers.

CRT does not claim that disparate outcomes based on gender are "fair".

It explicitly acknowledges gender as an intersecting variable.

The idea disparate outcomes between genders are "fair" isn't supported logically or evidentially, especially when we consider misdemeanor crimes without a component of violence.

Yep, I'm with you. I'm afraid this is another misunderstanding and a new quest for ether. But this is a good thing.

I bet one coffee that there is no dark matter in the form it's been looked for in the last decades. I bet two coffees that when somebody will discover the cause of the measured effects we'll be able to build some great new stuff, much like general relativity eventually gave us GPS and then navigation, etc.
That's not a low bar at all. A lot of activities people do while driving are way more dangerous that driving "drunk". In fact, "drunk" (0.08 BAC) driving is often the baseline multiple that such activities are reported in.

Self-driving cars which are merely as safe as driving with a 0.08BAC will still greatly reduce traffic accidents. Of course, no one will report it as such. Having something that's paying attention 100% of the time is going to be a huge boon for traffic safety. Spending 15 seconds picking a song on your phone is all it takes to rear end a car or blow through an intersection.
How to Use the New AMD P-State Driver with Linux 5.17
We run on thousands of EC2 instances and our biggest systems operate at millions of requests/sec. No containers*. We use EC2, Route53, S3, and some other AWS stuff, plus custom tooling built on their APIs. Most of our code is Go or Clojure so deployments generally consist of self-contained artifacts (binary or jar) plus some config files; there's little to no customization of the instance for the application.

*Well we do have an in-house job queue system that runs jobs in Linux namespaces for isolation. But it doesn't use Docker or whole-OS images at all.

Doesn't this "monitor" have enough processing power to run a complete MacOS? How is it different from the new iMac?
I agree with this. In principle the solar panel owners are taking all the profits while socializing all the costs, which is good for them but it's not a fair system. Unfortunately by the time the lawmakers realized their "mistake", the solar panel owners had already gotten used to this system and as we all know... Nobody likes paying taxes/levies that reduce their income.

> I have practiced law for more than ten years, attended some of the institutions mentioned, and have worked in and with firms that would be considered "elite." I don't recognize any of the phenomena described in this article. Frankly the writer is either very far from the reality of modern legal practice (chasing noise in the system, without any real data) or she's viewing things selectively to serve some ideological purpose.

I am in a similar position as you. I have practiced for more than 10 years, and at one of the largest law firms (which will be kept anonymous), and I have forever been a full-time trial litigator. And I do not share your experience.

I've seen the exact opposite, i.e. as per what the article has described - 'woke' juniors coming in with ridiculous expectations, and being a bit too forward despite their lack of experience. I've seen resumes where applicants wrote that they preferred not to be hired at the firm if it didn't include the diversity policy of their choosing (and which is shameless, since a large firm has no ends of good applicants to select from), and where these applicants listed their own social activities (none of which included legally-relevant matters) with 'woke' topics as if that were of any inducement to a large legal firm that was billings-first, over virtue-signalling. I've seen some of these folks during meetings virtue signal and judge against other associates who they thought didn't reflect their standards, which was very toxic for the work environment as your political/social ideologies should really be kept out of the workplace. And so on.

If law firms are shaped by businesses, then the institutions producing these new students - and capitulating to these unrealistic 'woke' demands - are educating the new generation completely devoid of legal business reality.

They don't need to pin it directly.

They only need to "npm ci" (based on package-lock.json) instead of "npm install" (based on package.json) within the Docker container to get a fully reproducible build.
I think this depends on the scale of the problem. For small, algorithmic, problems, the kind you would see in a coding interview I find it far more efficient to solve on paper, or on your head, before getting bogged down in code. The difficulty in these types of problems is not understanding the issue but coming up with a solution. For much larger problems, just getting you head around the problem is very challenging and you need some scaffolding, in the form of half-backed, but still precisely described solutions, simply to provide ballast to your thought process.
