yes, i don't want to have to "negotiate" raises. that is a waste of time and energy that is better spent finding an employer that will just handle it professionally.
All while happily throwing Sitel under the bus.

This whole communication from Okta is a total debacle. They are trying desperately to under play the event and deflect blame in the poor transparency after the event all while not once mentioning that they plan on making any remediations or changing anything in their day to day operations after this incident to prevent it from happening again.

So aus has the NBN which in theory covers everyone through a combination of FTTP, FTTN and high speed, high latency satellite.

Unfortunately the NBN organisation itself is a massive boondoggle (see also Australian politics for the last 10+ years) and their idea of 'coverage' often could be beaten handily by a pigeon and some string.

So people pay through the nose for alternatives like Telstra mobile broadband or starlink and given the current neoliberal firesale gov I'd say that's an intentional outcome...
Cache coherency on SoCs is one of the more hairy aspects, and one that's getting an increasing amount of attention from the software world.

Certainly for Mac it's a well-known topic, though I won't necessarily say it's all safe. Like I said: it's hairy.

(fun fact: when you have 10s-100s of millions of units out there, those "1 in a million" chances become all too frequent...)
I am puzzled by the choice of derailleur gears over intra-hub gears.

The motivation must have been that it allows the integrated rims and hubs, which are probably much easier to manufacture than spoked wheels at this size. The downsides seem significant though: A derailleur with gears this small is going to wear very quickly, and when it is time to replace it, you just have to hope that Kwiggle is still around to supply you with spares.

I have been a bike-fiddler since my teenage years, but it was only recently (40+) I tried taking apart an intra-hub gear. To my surprise, the whole gear mechanism is fitted to the axle an can be replaced in one go [0]. The only functional parts of the hub/housing is half-bearings and ratchets. The cool approach for Kwiggle would be to replicate these and just pop in a Shimano gear.

Blockchains are hierarchical power structures. They're democracies, in fact, but instead of "one person, one vote" you get a share of votes based on how much electricity you waste.

As the article explains, mining capacity is centralized, and therefore, so is Web3.

Blockchains are no better than any other democratic institution; substantially worse, in fact, because they're wasting electricity to do it. Web3 pretends to be a big FU to hierarchical power structures, but if you believe that, you're being scammed.
You typically don't get dogs for free, they aren't like cats.

But noone cares about hello world. You're not building hello-worlds in real life.

Slow startup time is a problem in automated testing of big codebases - when you aim to test the whole codebase, but each test alone does not stress any code path hard enough for the hotspot compiler to kick in. So basically most of your Java code in testing runs in interpreted mode, which is like 20x-100x slower than properly compiled and optimized C/C++/Rust.

If lakes form, then it means that water falls downhill. No, "GitHub.com" is not hardcoded, it's the largest of the lakes that we happened to end up with. We could have had different lakes, and might somehow in future. But it shows that the gravitational pull of centralisation is in operation. The technical fact that "core git is decentralized" doesn't matter, centralised usage is the usage subset that prevails in practice, due to social forces.

"Github is not coded in" is not an argument that "decentralisation could have prevailed". Some form of centralisation apparently was inevitable. This is the one that we got.

> GitHub and gitlab and dozens of others can all exist independently of another and still interoperate.

Do they "interoperate"? Isn't it overwhelmingly more usual for a project to pick one of those and stay there. i.e. centralised usage.

Yes, they use the same protocol. it's decentralized like http.

"I'm old enough to remember when the Internet wasn't a group of five websites, each consisting of screenshots of text from the other four." (1)

This indicates that centralising forces are happening here too.

It makes sense to me you might need a memory flush when doing a core migration. Everything is still coherent from a single core perspective. But if you point a different core at the same PC, well, maybe it sees things differently that haven't been flushed.

Yeah... This kind of overly defensive and dismissive response is precisely the reason that HIPS exists, and why MHR gave up on speaking with the standards bodies. The complaints by a federal project are a serious concern, and so are edge cases that they hit, because HL7 seems to have more edges than a razor blade.

MHR is five years old. These problems do not get resolved over time. An undecidable FHIR is a problem in practice, because that's where it was discovered to be a problem. It's not a defect that gets resolved because a few vendors implement software that gets widely used - it's a defect because it'll get resolved differently between those vendors. A data format should be a regular language.

HIPS exists so that the MHR devs don't have to see a single HL7 document of any kind - because the formats are awful, in every possible way. I'm sorry, but I have nothing good to say about working with HL7, both the standards and the working groups.

Lean startup is not about building something bad and ugly. Although the core process is named Build-Measure-Learn-Loop, it really starts with "Learn". You've got to define hypotheses about your business model (e.g. customer pain points) and build experiments to validate. A MVP is the product with the narrowest set of features that predictably converts a target into a paying customer. From the customers perspective, you think of a MVP as a minimal lovable product (MLP).
Something doesn't add up with their comments does it.
Really cool! Will definitely submit some things :)
Even though it lets you see network issues there sadly isn't always a way to fix them. One time I reported an issue and I was told that the issue was with my ISP despite having many people test and and using both residential and from within a data center. I was also told that my 60ms of ping between San Jose and Los Angeles was due to overhead of running it from a virtual machine. Despite having the ticket open for months it went nowhere and I eventually just found a different company to host my servers who didn't have routing issues.
A bunch of people that probably haven’t bought a scalped ticket in their lives trying to explain how NFTs will revolutionise ticket sales is definitely peak crypto charlatan.
"were taken from a Sitel support engineer’s computer upon which an attacker had obtained remote access using RDP. This device was owned and managed by Sitel. The scenario here is analogous to walking away from your computer at a coffee shop"

It really is not analogous at all.

That RDP was enabled, let alone could be accessed from outside the network is worrying.

To me this would appear that, to save a buck, they outsource a lot of functions that then meant customer security was partly out of their hands, and relied upon another company having their security ducks in a row. I'm sure in their marketing materials they boast about state-of-the-art security, but that's only as good as the weakest point in the chain.
I think you make a lot of interesting points.

Sure, for me I focus on a few aspects:

1. What are the high priority projects?
2. What must have my attention? What can be delegated and monitored? What can be delegated and forgotten? What is in our responsibilities and what needs to be redirected?
3. What is a personally engaging project I want to work on to stay excited?

1 and 3 are the ones I get careful about and closely monitor myself to see how tired I am and how my thoughts are; since a lot of my work is not just technical but also communication of this to a lot of persons (internal and external), I take the time to be very aware of my mood and my thoughts and feelings. If I'm feeling angry or grumpy towards everything, it's time to stop because this will bleed into my work and I've worked enough. I force myself to send an update that I will have something more substantial later and a brief summary of where we are at.

For technical items, I kind of let the linter tell me how many mistakes I'm making ;) If the linter is working hard, probably it means I'm just too tired to be effective, and it's time to write down my current thoughts and plans in the next 5 minutes and call it for them, and either rest for the day or relax a little

I constantly violate schedules so task lists and timers don't work for me. I prefer an ultimate deadline and I'll manage my way there. On a day to day basis I just decide what my task list is and the priority and then go one by one.

Hope this gives some inspiration.

Royalties. The ticket seller can set that and every time the ticket is resold, they will get % of that sale. For an artist that would mean they can sell a ticket with % royalty set and then profit from future sales on an ongoing basis.

That's why I said over HDMI. Sometimes it's all that available, either because it's a TV or due to a missing cable. I find those USB-C to DP cables pretty flaky.
Actually the other protocols all exist, and work fine, thanks.

The major exception was high bandwidth communication, where it remains cost prohibitive to do without scale - video has come a long way, to be sure, but large image, audio, video processing have remained difficult to do at scale and right, at least without the correct hardware and supporting algorithms.

There are solutions, most of the ones I can think of involve paying money versus using some "free" service - this is why you don't see a lot of private fileshares with random videostreams between friends, not so much technical reasons.

I could write on a piece of paper that I grant you exclusive rights to something I created for $x and then you give me $x and we both sign the piece of paper. A court would consider that piece of paper valid which makes the contract real. Replace the piece of paper with a text file with cryptographic signatures and a court may consider that valid as well.

Isn't an NFT basically such a text file embedded into a decentralized marketplace? It's real if you can find a court that says it's real.
I don't know, that's been scaled pretty far, where farms and especially ranches don't take many workers.

There are plainly people that abuse this and are offended because they want to. Maybe they just don't like you or have an unresolved problem with themselves. Being upset doesn't net you anything, but the a important thing is that you aren't allowed to shut people up in the name of an abstract unprivileged group and we see that too often when people want to police speech.
Ah yes. The magical "click my fingers and there's a new Woodstock every time someone raises a price" free-market.
Of course the sole purpose of a publicly traded company is to maximise the revenue for its shareholders, however, you can take a long term or short term approach on this.

Okta appeared to have kept this under wraps to prevent a shareholders backlash (short term approach) However, as a result they achieved the opposite, as the share price is still down this morning. This may of course be a temporarily glitch, however, I can see it resulting in a temporary loss of revenue. If I would be evaluating Okta versus a different solution right now, this may well sway my decision.
This is really no different to Apple’s Activation Lock. If the previous user isn’t careful to sign out of their Apple ID (or, at a minimum, disable “Find My”), the new owner will need the previous owner’s password to reset the device.

This is a good thing. Combined with remote lock, it renders stolen devices useless.
It's not the book/register or the mindshare. It's a central authority (sovereign government) and it's legal system that grants and enforces the ownership rights. Remove that authority and what do you have? Anarchy. There's a reason why central authority based systems have evolved. It reduces violence.

What massive pace of what technology? It's a ledger (1600s technology) protected by a digital signature (30 year old technology). What exactly is the 'innovation' work being done by 'respected researchers'?
There will never be new genres or art or music. Everything has been discovered already. Like colours, they are all already known. Sure you can have a new take something or maybe discover a new subgenre, but the majority is already there. And just because a genre would have a new "name" (just a branding thing anyway) doesn't mean it's not part of some other genre already.

You can't capture psychedelic and or mystic experiences, which are very subjective anyway and yes, rooted in _reality_ or require a reference to _reality_ as they are the so far away from that.
You can resell your paper, or email ticket already.

> The best known way to allocate meager resources for best possible use is not to interfere with the free market. And anybody who disagrees and tries to do otherwise will learn this fundamental the hard way.

The "free market" is a bad idea in scarcity times, as the only ones able to pay the profiteering prices will be the rich and wasteful, and ordinary society is left behind. Just look at the PC market where shitcoin miners have completely ruined the supply chain - it's still almost impossible to get decent GPUs at a decent price point after years, and there have been serious though temporary impacts on deliverability of RAM and HDDs with other shitcoins. Or with rental markets where entire city quarters are either taken over by AirBnB-style operations (because ultra-short-term "hotel" rental yields sometimes up to 4x a month what regular renting would allow) or left idle as "speculative" assets (e.g. Londongrad).

To make it worse, when scalpers buy up the remains of the available inventory, that inventory gets locked away from being used productively by anyone as scalpers have an incentive to keep their inventory off the market to drive up the price even more!

In times of resource scarcity - no matter if food or anything else that's critical for society - a good government steps in and limits the free market (e.g. by banning cryptocurrencies or scalpers, by introducing quotas or by introducing vacancy taxes) so that at least some movement of goods happens.
Video doesn't mean with a camera, just pre-rendered.
Right, but it's possible that this is just a side effect of x86 doing TSO, so any stores are visible just by executing the instruction, so I'm not convinced (at least by that snippet) that interrupts have to be fully serializing. If they're not, I wonder if it's possible to observe load-store reordering across a privilege boundary…
Not sure what is your problem here. The code is almost the same as in C# most of the time (not embedding C#, writing equivalent pwsh code).

On the other hand, in 10+ years using it I had to use C# inside no more then couple of times. Accessing other stuff via native calls (such as [DateTime]::Now or [string]::IsEmptyOrWhiteSpace) is more common.

well, this was fun, past tense. analogies compare the ways dissimilar things are similar, not the ways they aren't.

this is a thread about selling them and not asking why people are willing to pay for them. so what you or I need isn't relevant, if you don't want to buy one then don't buy one. if you want to make money, sell one. unless there was some point you were trying to make, in which case there are plenty of sister threads to make that point in.

I could write on a piece of paper that I grant you exclusive rights to the piece of paper and sell it to you for $x.

The piece of paper is real, but it doesn’t matter if there is the address of a house written on it or whatever - the only think you own is the piece of paper.

That seems a better description of most NFTs which have no contract meaning at all.
Given the quantum eraser experiment and general lack of time directionality in particle physics it seems causality as an "axiomatic" physical truth is already broken. At least at a quantum level. My suspicion is that event-based causality falls into the 'its only resolved for >= hbar/2' realm. Then even if you had a bunch "tachyons" it'd be impossible to send a signal back in time more than a few planck constants of time much like its hard to entangle more than a few qbits.
> Why wouldn't there be as many chains as their are email providers

Email providers can send email to each other, making them all as equally useful. Different blockchains wouldn't be compatible with each other by default, by definition, so it's more of a winner-takes-all situation.
You may need to interview outside of that geographical area, maybe in Europe.

> my point is there are dozens of other convenient questions you can ask to filter out projects

Absolutely. And I agree with you that "Is it widely used in production?" is a better filter. But that does not diminish the value of the filtering done by "Is it properly documented?". After all, it's not like we're limited in the number of criteria we can use to filter out bad projects.
