Worked at a startup that built a 3D modelling tool in the browser. They did a major refactoring that was still ongoing. At this point in the core team of 5 they churned through 10 engineers in 1 year. So when I started my job I learned that you could neither create a working build nor would any of the tests run. (Not to speak about the CI pipeline) Eventually the build could be fixed as well as the few tests. But as it turned out every basic user functionality had to be rewritten and the structural refactoring was still in progress.

IMHO the refactoring sounded very reasonable since the old code base was unmanageable. But there was a culture of extreme pressure from the CTO, making everyone haste through tasks preventing everyone to do "proper engineering". At the time the CTO was in some sort of permanent absence already. Afterwards the team lead left because of burnout, I also left and later on I heard they closed down the company.

Actually I've seen similar destructive refactorings at other places. At one they also had a lot of subtle problems leading to many user complaints. It could be fixed but by then it was already too late.

IMHO refactorings are great but it's always necessary to keep regressions in check all the time and really understand the design decisions of existing code.
I don't really know much about this field. Can you say more about what "batshit-insane sensors" might entail?
Why don't retailers of luxury durable goods use dynamic pricing? Surely Best Buy would love to charge the actual market price (~$800 from a quick eBay search) for a PS5. Sony could just auction batches of consoles to retailers and let them price / promote however they want. Instead they stick to MSRP, leading to shortages at retailers and leaving lots of money on the table for resellers. I don't get it.
Ask anyone who experiences it, phantom pain is painful. Regardless of the existence of the proprioceptive location of the pain the individual is experiencing, phantom pain is still a subset of pain, and thus it is pain, and like all pain, it is unmistakeable.

Pff, this is nothing, I was just today explaining to client that phrase "...will switch off at VARIABLE midnight." where variable is number 12 is complete nonsense, maybe it is acceptable in English, but certainly not in most of the languages, since midnight is midnight and there is no 12 or 24 midnight, it's either 12PM, 24:00 OR midnight, but not some digit together with midnight

Yes use jlcpcb regularly but it’s about 2 weeks turn around with shipping…

the super swift option to me seems slower the jlcpcb… 5 business days compared to 2 ? Also 10x cost

This is why I’m thinking something like voltera one - since it’s supposed to take 30 minutes… thank you for advice about lungs
Are you getting fragile about there being two different reactions to… two totally different drugs with two completely different mechanisms of action and two incredibly different safety records? Hormonal birth control has been out for ages and has many benefits outside of preventing unwanted pregnancies. Male birth control still isn’t even a safe thing yet, in 2022.
Rather than the chmod of the printers /dev node, the user could probably be added to the `lp` group to grant the correct permissions.

"Just `chmod 777` it" as the universal solution to permission issues is usually solving the wrong problem.
Fancying myself somewhat of an archivist of such matters, I believe the timeline of the Culture War must include 'mansplaining' (LiveJournal, 2008), Dickwolves (Penny Arcade, 2010), and Gamergate (originally WordPress, 2014). Each of these events brought feminist writers / bloggers into explosive contact with the meme-engines of the web, giving terms and concepts such as 'mansplaining', 'rape culture', and 'toxic masculinity' wide and rapid dissemination.
I would explore a career as a Technical Quality Engineer. Feel free to reach out directly to david@vydra.net if interested.
This is way cool. What a great idea.
The Edited Latercomer’s Guide to Crypto
The best QA setup I've seen was a parallel one. Devs and QA were given the same requirements doc, and independently worked out their assumptions and implementation. QA was often ready before dev work was done so sometimes devs could even run their tests locally to see if they pass. It was really remarkable.
It's frustrating its not so clean usually.
This looks like a nice guide. I had a couple of questions.

When reading the "entering protected mode" section I started to question my own understanding of some the details. My first question is:

When a CPU starts up in real mode it's running in a kind of privileged state since there are none of the 4 protection rings that protected mode give us. We then build a GDT and switch the CPU to protected mode. In practical terms where does this code live GDT building and long mode jump code live? Is it in GRUB or whichever stage 2 bootloader is in use?

My second question was about the "chicken and egg" situation about how the kernel code inherits that privileged address space defined marked with ring 0 bits in the GDT. Is magic that once the GDT has been defined, when we subsequently decompresses the kernel into those memory addresses the kernel memory will have ring 0 bits in its descriptors?

This is how I've understood it but I've often found the texts about this a little murky and this part still feels a bit like magic to me I guess.
this is a formal fallacy - joining something substantial, serious and a matter of public law, to something personal, of little consequence, and governed at a local level. please reconsider this as this important public discussion evolves on YNews?

So in the UK there are different things that happen depending on your age for the majority of crimes.

In Scotland:

0-6 - Nothing, not criminally liable.
6-16 - Gets sent to the children's panel and they'll normally waive it off.
16+ - Adult court.

In Scotland they're an adult at 16.

In England:

0-10 Nothign, notcriminally liable.
10-18 - Youth Court for minor stuff, crown court for major stuff.

In England they're an adult at 18 but they still end up in the normal system when they're above 16 as far as I understand. (I'm Scottish, so most people I knew who went through that system did it in Scotland)

And in the UK there are time bars, so if you get arrested and charged they have to have you in court in a certain amount of time. Unlike in the US system, the game of delaying going to court doesn't work or even really allowed. The court date is set and that is when it goes to court. And if you were arrested for something at a certain age then you would be convicted based on that as far as I know. However, if you get arrested at 20 and convicted once you're 21 you go from a YOI to a HMP. There is no real difference other than the HMP is more relaxed as older convicts don't feel the need to prove themselves daily.
Yeah, it seems like political correctness to me. The author obviously understands your point, and what the author writes isn't exactly false--but it is misleading enough to keep some likely screamers off his/her back.
The same guy insisted to me that Windows (pre-95) was not an Operating System either, for the same reason mine wasn't.

Fully agree with you. It feels like people who think differently on the matter have abstracted away everything else but the fact that there's a camera looking in your direction. Sure, if you think like that, they're the same, but if you consider the context AT ALL, they're two totally different things.
Same. I was happy to pay for it a couple of years ago, but I recently cancelled a pretty long running premium subscription.

If they're not outright removing videos from people I subscribe to, or outright removing people entirely, they're creating an atmosphere where those who remain rigorously self-censor to preserve their clout and income streams. Most of the content that's left is uninteresting because it's too risky to discuss anything controversial, let alone express a controversial opinion. RIP.
I believe that React's hooks implementation is sub-par, not that "a" hooks implementation wouldn't work. Their current implementation badly needs a real compiler (the whole dependencies array stuff is atrocious, as well as some of the useMemo/useCallback performance issues), or a totally different approach that is actually reactive (e.g. SolidJS). IMO the burden of their implementation on the developer is too large.
Good QAs are so important. There are so many bugs that would have never been found by us. In the past 3 weeks, both our QAs have been off, and the inbox list of problems have grounded to almost zero! Not because we are writing more-than-usual-amazing code, but because no one managed to find them.
What a cool idea. I'm not sure if there is a permission in Android to "allow phone to answer calls on your behalf"
We do have a dedicated QA team and it's absolutely essential because developers (like me) aren't necessarily domain experts.

It's not about our laws, it's about their laws. Whether bribery is legal or otherwise tolerated seems to be a question properly for the country whose officials are being bribed. It may be hard to imagine, but this is just how it works in some countries. They don't pay their public officials enough, and everyone expects that they pad their inadequate official salaries with corruption. I certainly wouldn't want my country to be run that way, but it's just how some societies work.

Yes, the bribery is technically illegal in most of those countries, but thinking that is is of primary importance is mistaking western legalism for a universal ethos. In many other places, the technical requirements of the law are much less important. The real law in all cases is what is actually practiced, which in these societies can be quite different from what's on the books.
I hope he at least has one of those receipt spikes to stick it on when the issue is closed.
But artificial scarcity creates new demand. Won’t someone think of the profits to be made?
There are lots of USB-IR remote receivers. The nicest, in my opinion, is the Flirc (flirc.tv) which has all the smarts in the USB dongle to convert IR remote signals into a simulated keyboard. It's reasonably cheap, too. I like using a TiVO remote, because their ergonomics are almost perfect.

To turn on and off a TV you need an HDMI port that supports CEC. The Pi does, so you just need to install cec-client.

As for OS, you should use the general purpose Linux distro that you are most familiar with. If in doubt, use Gunnar Wolf's Debian for Pi, which is as close as you can get to 100% Debian on a Pi.
I live in Kazakhstan and while I don't have any evidence, I'm pretty sure that many huge western companies operating here bribed officials.

I don't think that's necessary part of local culture. Of course in poor country officials with $200/month salary are happy to get $1000 gift for signing $100 000 agreement. Western companies are huge part of corruption source here. That's my opinion.

I've heard that Ikea decided not to bribe officials, so they didn't get approval to build their shops here. I kind of applaud them if that's true and I wish every so-called civilized company took that stance. But money doesn't stink I guess.
"Grandma would move out"

So gentrification? Get rid of the "undesirables" instead of building more housing...

The problem isn't "grandma" (Or, I think that problem is vastly smaller than lack of new building/investment due to hostile regulations). The problem is anti-grow regulations that block what can be built (IE: must match look/feel, can't build high rises, etc)... and anti-grow regulations that demand massive investment in what can be built (IE: requiring water sprinklers in new homes, solar, etc) making new options grossly over-priced.

Cars aren't more expensive just because of inflation... they are more and more expensive due to regulations upon regulations such as air bags, abs, etc. Some of which is good... but a lot of which is debatable or outright wasteful. Same for housing.

Making grandma move out won't create the massive amount of new housing required for some areas. Those areas need new, affordable housing to be invested in - not getting rid of "undesirables" to raise taxes.

"feature high taxes and cheap property"

It's not cheap if you're taxed to death to stay there. Artificially low prices due to artificially high taxes aren't a solution any more than over regulation is.

And the idea of higher wages won't solve the issue that'll end up being inflation adjusted higher prices to pay higher taxes to pay for higher prices to pay for higher taxes to...

I think he feels like a prop for someone else's agenda. Imagine living a long life with congenital issues that seriously impacted your physical development, made you infertile etc., then suddenly loads of people are talking about your condition. But it's rarely in order to benefit you, and very often just a sort of debating tactic, to advance the goals of XY people who don't share your condition at all and whose goals you disagree with. I would also find that upsetting.
Yeah, but what are they doing with that to benefit me? Does it identify dental issues that traditional imaging misses? How common is that?
Unclear if it is hard to measure intelligence or if we just don’t like the results.
Of course poverty and education can change the results. This is only a problem with the tests if we know for a fact intelligence is independent of material circumstances. Nobody would be surprised that good nutrition and regular exercise make it possible for someone to run faster or lift heavier weights.
Of course we as a society are also failing to provide the basics to large segments of the population, but getting rid of testing is a motivated effort to hide failures rather than try to improve. “Can’t get a fever if you don’t check temperatures…”
Most jobs done need to exist to begin with.

The principles and habits of healthy software
Mobile Safari didn't used to do that. I wanna say they introduced that bug a year or two ago. It annoys me constantly and it's worrisome that they haven't fixed it yet.
Well according to the article in this case 3D imaging is reducing false positives by about 6% which seems like an actual benefit. Would it be a benefit if it is easier to maintain or easier for the doctor to read?
>Why are you particularly concerned about these ones?

I'm particularly concerned about this one because the critical safety evaluation process was accelerated by a factor of 5-10 and the clinical safety data is not available for third party review, however it was used to justify propaganda that has influenced (biased) all subsequent research. Just like software, the marginal gains of throwing money at a problem eventually approach zero, some things just take time, especially when you're evaluating biological side effects which may develop slowly.

I'm particularly concerned about this one because it hijacks your cellular machinery to manufacture a sudden megadose of an inflammatory protein (not a complete virus) which results in short term (at least) autoimmune behavior.

I'm particularly concerned about this one because it was effectively mandated for hundreds of millions of people with an obviously incomplete cost/benefit analysis and anyone who asks if maybe the benefit is overestimated and the cost is underestimated is immediately branded an anti-vaxxer/right wing conspiracy nut.

>Novel medical technologies are developed all the time. Every year new life saving treatments and drugs come out that transform the lives of people all over the world.

And how many of the candidates that make it to clinical trials never make it to market, or worse, are withdrawn after measurable harm? Now throw in the accelerated (rushed) safety analysis and systemic pro covid vaccine bias and it would be foolish not to be at least a little skeptical.

>and development and testing methodologies have been improved and refined over many decades of experience, in many countries around the world working together to develop best practices and cross-check each other's work.

And those testing methodologies still take time because of the nature of biology, you can't just snap your fingers and make adverse events happen more quickly. All those best practices and cross checking go out the window once a rigid sociopolitical orthodoxy solidifies around certain subjects, and suddenly few researchers are willing to risk careers for simply asking the wrong questions.

Nothing about the mRNA vaccine development process has been "normal", and these are emphatically not typical vaccines, this technology is unprecedented and its effects on the body are complex and difficult to study.
Also depends a lot on the nature of the screening and what is being screened for.

Prostate cancer being somewhat of an outlier as at least to my understanding, essentially all men will end up with some kind of tumor or another if they live long enough, but some large fraction of those won't become something that requires medical intervention before the individual would die from any number of other age-related causes. Outside my area of expertise but the relative size of the tissue that produces various breast cancers as well as the proximity to lymph nodes change the calculus on that a bit.

But I would definitely expect overall screening protocols to evolve as methodologies are developed that can potentially exclude the false positives from another metholodgy. While test A + A may still produce false positives due the nature of the test failing the same way, if we have A + B + C that are all relatively low-impact and not horribly expensive, that may end up being a fairly good program if some combination of A, B, and C generally exclude the parameters that the other produces a false positive for.
I don't know much about the topic so forgive my ignorance, but aren't Android apps written in Java/JVM language?
Meaning decompilation should be really straightforward, I remember IntelliJ having a decompiler, many times I would accidental open a `class` file and it would suggest decompilation. This kind of code was still hard to read, but it was Java, not bytecode.

It has been a few years, but when I last used Google Fi, all international roaming was handled by the T-Mobile SIM profile, except when using Three UK, which had it's own profile/shadow number.

VoLTE roaming agreements do not exist everywhere, so it is still very common to fall back to 3g for calls when roaming.
I would suggest starting in something fairly simple like SQL / Report developer, or perhaps specialize in a particular application like something built for integration. The logic being is you don't have to learn so much to get working. With regular development, you need to know database, back end, front end, networking and all that. With SQL/Report dev, it's really just SQL and whatever report tool is popular.

With a specialized application, it's the same. You just learn the application and don't have to keep up with all the changing fads of regular development.

Once he gets a foot in, he can expand to other things as well.

Best of luck.

UBI doesn't work well at all, like you stated, if there isn't a big increase in the supply of housing. For example, Seattle needs 10x more housing than it has today, and in 10 years it'll need 100x more housing than it has today. Ideally, all of these should be new luxury condo buildings, with 1000-3000 sqft condos, driving prices of all housing down by 10x. I would really like to see the city make this their only priority.
"What about the juniors" is not a super convincing argument to me since I've been on-boarding them throughout the pandemic but also prior to that, quite successfully, through the use of basic video linking and sharing of screens.

What I read is your perception. That's fine. Mine is different.

Mine is that he hates assholes who use any belief as a cudgel against other people. Atheists using our lack of faith to attack the faithful are also assholes. I agree with that. Stephens intent is always comedy first and foremost.

Regardless. Agnostics do indeed lack a spine and try to wiggle their way out using philosophical minutia. Case in point this discussion. You're trying to project thoughts into a comedians intent. Instead of admitting that the words themselves have truth to them.
Yes, in development mode, we use jenv: https://www.jenv.be/, that's how developers can switch between JDK.

But often times, our laptop don't have enough memory to perform the build and various tests. So we have to offload that to the CI/CD pipelines.
