Nowhere in their comment they mention the topic at hand, it's just a jab at controversial things Apple has done. It doesn't add anything to the post but causes outrage for the sake of it.

I am waiting for my PhD defense date (on Algorithmic Number Theory).

I have decided I am done with academe and I am looking to get a job as a software engineer, although I'm open to other possibilities!

After submitting my manuscript, I started to work on my portfolio and self-learned the relatively more modern technologies I have not been updated on while writing my thesis.

I also participated in competitive programming competitions like the ACM-ICPC when I was an undergrad.

I have some front-end, back-end and full-stack apps in my portfolio. They are hosted in a VPS and I use Docker to keep things relatively simple.
They didn't fare to well against European knights during the second invasion of Hungary. They did much better during the first invasion ~40 years earlier but seemed to had struggled quite a bit against heavily armored cavalry evne then (the problem was that Hungary didn't really have enough of them earlier)
That's simple, not easy.
China? Japan? As in two countries who together make up almost a quarter of the world’s population?
I would recommend the following that I used so far:

1. Substack - as it is a nice combination between a blog and a newsletter. So anyone that wants to subscribe can do it but also you can just share the article like a normal blog. It supports bringing your own domain which I would recommend from the beginning and also they can export your data but in HTML files. It has basic support for syntax highlighting.

2. Hashnode - it has more support for syntax highlighting, it saves your blog post if you want as markdown directly in Github and it also supports bringing your own domain. The only thing that I don't understand about Hashnode is their business model :)
I just compare with different base - really seriously ill Russian enterprises - VAZ, KAMAZ.

And in Russia things are so bad, that few years ago there literally stole jail.
- One entity won tender, than few months imitate works and sure, received money, and finally declare themselves bankrupts.
> the crazy part is, just like the proverbial "iraq WMDs" the whole "iran threat" is mostly propaganda.

Here we disagree. Iran is a real threat, they are major backering force behind both Hamas and Hezbollah. The Islamic Republic (distinct from the Persian people) is ideologically driven and regularly chants Death to America and Death to Israel. I could definitely see the friction with Iran going hot.
It's entirely understandable that Iran fears a US or NATO attack, but I also think it's incredibly stupid for so many people in the US to consider such an attack. For one thing, the current situation of Iran is largely the result of the US/UK overthrow of their democratic government in 1953. This has only caused grief and problems. The attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan didn't really accomplish much either. The US should stop trying to solve problems through war, because it's pretty clear that doesn't work. Use soft power instead; much more effective.
For sure. I think it’s made the hiring market less liquid. I really did need to study 50+ leetcode questions to do well in an interview. I crashed and burned a few interviews and ended up resigning myself to the grind, and bang, I’d pass those early interviews no problem. It’s a unique tech adjacent skill that not everyone has time to practice. It certainly doesn’t mean you’re a bad engineer if you can’t leetcode.

It’s a form of gatekeeping and hazing. It’s what you get when stem is hyped at every level of education. There are too many people gunning for tech. It attracts all the smart and ambitious students now. There is no programmer shortage.
As far as I know, owntracks doesn't actually store location history, it only defines a protocol for exchanging current location info between programs. If you're using their "official" recording server, writing a script to import history looks super easy [1].

Wow that's interesting! Do you happen to have a source for that? I'd like to read more about this...
Thanks a lot for the tip. I am going to add this to domainstats.com
I suspect that there is some overgeneralization going on with the term "talent". We see something that is hard for us and we immediately throw it in the same bag.
Even if there can be some better explanation.
There is a lot of micro abilities that goes into any complex thing and if You skip on any of is it can change things from easy to impossible. Just look at any disabled person - and compare how hard is for them to do easy things - I believe that the same is going on with Your comparison to talented people - You just do not see those micro abilities that are compounded to create illusion of talent.
There are several systems all with specific functions.

ProRail the infra manager has all the systems related to safety and long term planning. Think air traffic control to keep it simple.

NS has all the systems for communication with passengers and personnel and train movement (planning). Think airliner.
>4. I hate how this looks and wouldn't play it except as a curiosity

What on earth makes you think Doom with raytracing is anything other then a curiosity? It would be shocking if it turned out to be anything else.

Are posters on this site really so dour to not recognize a bit of... hacking?
No one is suggesting to put it in a small box and throwing it in the back of the airplane. It was to ascertain the readers with a mental picture of how much snuff we're dealing with here. Furthermore, it probably won't go pop, most likely fissile out into a dusty neutronic poof, not worth reporting to higher ups for obvious reasons. For a respectable, mushroom-cloud-worthy yield, you need to jam it in a rather serious reinforcement of Tungsten outer shell to make a weak gun-type bomb. It would still be unimpressive (thermo guys are gonna laugh at you), but hell of a lot better than stuffing it unintentionally in a small box. Safety is only important if there are further plans for survival, so it is sort of a moot point in this radioactive extravaganza. If you do happen to lose the material, be sure to have access to Tungsten as it is almost the same density (a tad bit higher than U238) and no one is going to notice it until we need to use it in the next war.
You think apple are above censorship at the behest of politicians?
But also that many men have an inherent biological desire to "protect" Women. Many men don't "want" women to go to war, don't think it's right to hit a woman no matter the situation, etc.

We all are, after all, governed by our evolutionary journey; we're just simple animals at our core.
mailboxapp.com (long dead/euthanised) is there, but mailbox.org (kicking) isn’t.

It might be a list that was made by each company request? Based on some form or authentication or as such? And the companies who didn’t approach Apple aren’t there. Just guessing. But I can imagine Apple doing such hacky things, though most of those remain behind the orchard curtain.
No, something someone working there told me

Perhaps someone can write some GPT-3 based tool to convert these maps into linear text.

This would be great for writing documentation.
Doh... thanks for pointing it out. I asked because it says elsewhere that persistence of objects is a non-goal, I guess it meant storing them clientside or something.
Good to see some practices like default deny networking (ingress and egress) and very limited interactive production access being laid out here.

A couple of other areas that aren't mentioned, although perhaps they're still doing them are around container breakout risks.

There's no mention of what (if any)hardening is being done on the container runtime, either restrictive seccomp, Apparmor/SELinux policies or using something like gVisor/Firecracker. With this year's number of container breakout CVEs, seems like an important area.

A related one is whether container aware runtime security is being used to detect where an attacker might have got access to a single container and be trying to breakout to either the underlying platform or to other containers in the cluster.
It'd be great to get a fairly standard way of doing this. :)

Having worked in this problem space a bit recently, I find this part a bit too optimistic:

> The event.id is used as lastEventId to scroll through further events. This means that events need to be strongly ordered to retrieve subsequent events.

The example relies on time-ordered UUIDv6 and mentions time sync as a gotcha. This should work well if you only have a single writer.

Even with perfectly synced clocks, anything that lets you do _concurrent_ writes can still commit out of order, though.

Consider two transactions in a single-node-and-trivially-clock-synced Postgres, for example. If the first transaction that gets the lower timestamp commits after a second transaction that gets a higher timestamp, the second and higher timestamp might've been retrieved by a consumer already (it committed, so it's visible after all), and now you've missed writes. This is also (at least for Postgres, but I guess also in general) true for sequences.

The approach I'm currently pursuing involves having an opaque cursor that encodes enough of the MVCC information (i.e. Postgres' txid_current and xip_list) to be able to catch those situations. For a client, the cursor is opaque and they can't see the internals. For the server side, it's quite implementation specific, however. It still has the nice property that clients keep track on where they are, without the server keeping track of where the clients are, which is desirable if the downstream client can roll back e.g. due to recovery/restore from backup)

A base64-encoded (possibly encrypted) cursor can wrap whatever implementation specifics are needed and hide them from the client. That implementation could of course be a simple event id if the writing side is strictly serial.
And a good thing they did. Without it, Russia might have easily conquered Ukraine.

Every argument against NATO, US or EU supporting eastern European countries is easily disproven by the current situation in Ukraine. Russia under Putin clearly is an expansionist aggressor.
> Shoelace looks awesome, and I think it's libs like these that are the future.

They are decidedly not the future. If they were, they wouldn't implement the same primitive components that we were re=implementing twenty years ago.

> Native web components are the endgame for flourishing frontend ecosystem

They are not.

> in the future you'll be to build whole sites writing HTML like

Funny you say that. Because the original vision of Web Component was against quote, "great example of an empty body tag, and sort of this pathological case of piling yourself into the JavaScript boat" [1]

But now it's apparently "pile everything into a Javascript blackbox"

> it's a really nice minimally, and paradoxically simple way to build webpages that have the functionality you want without the hassle of heavier frameworks

It is literally a framework that you still have to tie together with data handling, events etc. Just because you hide it behind a "custom-component" doesn't mean the complexity has gone anywhere.

> One thing I really want to see tackled though (by a standards body) is the data management story.

Ah yes. The data management story.

> Then we get a world where we can drop pre-made display elements and pre-made data stores onto pages.

And how exactly do you propose to "just drop them" onto pages? Have you also perhaps solved the API story for those elements? I mean, isn't it the great lie that web components perpetuate of "just use premade components"?

And yet there are now a few hundred avatar web components, several thousand button components, a million badge components, and all of these primitive things are not compatible with each other.

Kudos to the author for crystal clear one line summaries. As someone who struggles to write clear single line titles for Jira tickets, I don’t consider this ability to be easy or obvious.
> Also, RISC vs CISC is for people stuck in the 80s.

Sometimes I joke on this topic to the akin of Indo-European languages vs Sino-Tibetan languages, or in layman's term but a little offensive [1], English vs Chinese. This analogy is quite intriguing to me, since English is relatively easier than Chinese, and Chinese has more entropy than English, like RISC is much simpler than CISC, while CISC does more in one instruction than RISC in general. Of course, the true holy grail would be VLIW, which is like Esperanto, barely anyone knows and uses.

But as I can speak both languages and recognize the difference between both ISA designs I don't really think it mattered, but there will always be some stubborn people who bitch about it. This kind of behavior sometimes lead me to think about Linguistic relativity [2] and even extend the whole argue into the highly political topic of Linguistic determinism [3].

[1]: there are couple more of those Indo-European and Sino-Tibetan languages. Deutsch is an obvious candidate.

Probably stuff in your own history takes precedence?
I think both systems have their place. Games like chess tend to be brain burners, and the skill divide precludes an entertaining game afters a certain ratings difference.

Games with some randomness level the playing field somewhat. Better players will still win more than worse players, but at least the worse players have a chance. This is why the best poker, and backgammon players tend to dominate.

I would say that social games benefit from some randomness, with chance giving everyone a chance.

That said the level of chance in bluffing games like poker is too high for me, and not hidden well enough. I prefer my chance to be more well disguised, like in board games with card driven systems, or even in a card game like Magic: The Gathering. Backgammon is marginal.

I'm sure now, you have not seen those drawings, what military planned to do with silo infrastructure.

They planned to make constantly working build system, so would be tens more silo's than real ICBMs, and they planned to constantly move ICBMs, so nobody will know, in which silo now exists ICBM, and which is empty, and they planned to build silo's from underground, so they will open just before ICBM launch.
Do you know anything about NL train management? Just curious, how do you even know this is a management fault.
I guess technological-determinist arguments are generally easy to source, because there's usually abundant archaeological evidence of the kinds of equipment people use to fight wars.

I'm generally pretty skeptical: there are just a ton of cases where an army strong in one category (say, heavy cavalry) have slaughtered enemies strong in other categories, and vice versa.

It seems to me that technologies that dominated entire eras (heavy infantry for the romans, heavy cavalry for medieval europe, horse archers for the steppes, etc) follow naturally from the social models rather than military necessity. A feudal lord wouldn't have the ability to organize or provision a roman legion, for instance, or the raw culture of mobility and horsemanship for horse archers, etc.

The idea that NATO would actually invade Russia seems pretty baseless. They aren’t even prepared to defend Ukraine directly.
> It scares the crap out of me how many people willingly played along for two years. Do people not question anything?

As one person that played along, my understanding was that by playing along, all of that would end earlier and we could go back to normal faster. This didn't happen, so I have learned my lesson for the next time.
Lol, stay at home Dads get told they're "baby-sitting". They aren't as "manly" in the eyes of their male peers (though this is changing a little).

> I assume that behind that were schedules that weren't so far from being hand-calculated

It’s more than that: The trains are negotiated at political levels! The “8:18 to Marseilles” (fictitious example) could be a headline in the news if the region refuses to fund it, and the worker’s union may have striked to keep it, while inhabitants’ HOA has negociated with the city to keep it under 12€: They are the object of a convergence of fixed interests. They run for generations: the train I took as a kid is still arriving on the same track today (and in one stop, it stops at track E; tracks A-D were dismantled but never renumbered due to this legacy).

The good thing with rails is that they aren’t going away, and trains can be negotiated for decades, they’re far from being scheduled on-the-fly.

Happiness is a marketing term. It isn’t a real thing, it’s an aspirational state which we are told we can attain through a lifetime of hard work, through buying things, through reading this book, with this one simple trick, click to read more.

As long as you seek happiness, you will never, ever find contentment, as you will forever be chasing the tail of a dragon.

For me, I just one day gave up on the idea that I could ever be happy. I had a long, dark teatime of the soul, but came out of it absolutely content with my lot. Completely changed my life and how I live, and while I wouldn’t say I live in some kind of state of exuberant ecstasy day to day, I am content, and am no longer burdened by the quest for a reified concept.
Looking at it from the buyer's point of view: what is the value in a non-profitable project? Even if the idea appears to be good, it would require considerable investment in effort (at least) before it will generate any revenue.

Even for acquisitions of profitable businesses, there typically is a an "earn-out" component. That is, you only get paid if certain revenue/profit milestones are attained.
Hmm, the last time I heard of one being used in the UK I can track to a date in 2002. My uncle bought a commuter from Dan Computers the day they went bust. The credit readers stopped working, because the credit company pulled access; but the retail staff did not realise this, so they broke out the imprint machines and kept going. Presumably the receiver didn't notice the flimsies, because they never either finally got the payment processed through the banks, nor tried to collect the payment any other way.

Originally they were the main means of taking card payments in the UK, though.

You want reliable numbers, look up studies about economic growth during war and peace. Probably nobody will be able to answer that for you around here.

As far as research is concerned, without any numbers, I'd assume the focus shifts from civilian research to defence research. As does production. If it surpasses peace time production depends on the scale of the war. That output so should be measured in production units, war has the habbit of screwing up economic metrics.

You put your project up for auction, and if someone thinks it's worthwhile they might throw you some money for it.

If your project is "cool", cheap to maintain, and non-profitable - then I think you can aim for something like $750 - $1500 for it. There are people who may see the potential in it, and would buy the codebase/brand to get a quick start.

"I think it's more likely that all of this happened behind the back of Russia."

My knowledge of the event is solely based on the article. but it does specifically mention that the us wanted and asked russia to take the material but russia did not want it.

I know that at this time the us was buying a lot of fissibles from russia as well. I think the theory was that 1. it would inject money into russia which was broke and 2 it would remove the fissables from ending up on the open market. win-win.

Honestly I would love to read a good in depth history of the breakup of the soviet-union. I don't really understand what happened at all.
Yes, although in principle this kind of list should only be necessary for fresh browsing profiles (plus people who don't keep a local browsing history). Once you've used the browser for a while, autocomplete should predominantly be powered by your local browsing history anyway.

Firefox on Android e.g. used to (or still has – I'm not sure what the state is nowadays after the rewrite) have a similar (although somewhat smaller) list of popular domains which it would use for providing autocomplete results if it couldn't find anything in your history, but local history always had priority.
I have been working between 30 and 24 hours as a Senior Software Developer in the past 20 years. I have had several colleagues who work a similar amount of hours. I have been telling employers that I am only productive for about six hours per workng day on average and that never has been a deal breaker. The number of productive hours does vary from day to day, but I know that I push myself beyond that limit, I will run in trouble after some months. I have heard about studies that the average employee is only really productive for about two or three hours per day. With me working six hours per day, I might just as productive as someone being eight hours in the office.
