> Slug is used in a number of games (and congrats to Eric for winning those licenses), but not as far as I know in any UI toolkits, and there are reasons for that

Presumably because its antialiasing is crap? But there's nothing inherent to fragment-oriented approaches that prevents you from doing good aa, and they slot nicely into the existing rasterization pipeline (which is why slug has fewer feature level requirements than pathfinder). They also permit arbitrary domain transformations (some caveats here as you have to calculate a bounding box still), and given appropriate space partitioning should not be significantly slower than scanline algorithms.

Also: UI toolkits are not known for being on the leading edge of graphics research. I think fastuidraw demonstrates this rather well. Insofar as there is exciting work happening in industry, it is mainly happening in web browsers; and I would expect mozilla and google to devote their efforts pathfinder and skia, respectively.
> The Product owners don't know what the thing does.

This is the dumbest part. You’d think that someone documented something when they originally built it, but nooo. Don’t even know the requirements, just that it has to be the same as the previous one.

It's part of the societal contract, though: Why would I rip myself a new one for a country that hands out suicide pills or lets me die in agony because some kid on the other side of the country doesn't get free healthy food from their school, if the resources for universal healthcare are there, but are not distributed equally?

Old people vote. Kids by definition don't (and parents of kids that can't afford healthcare are also less likely to vote).
> You could store [2fa backup codes] in your password manager

Aaand we're down to single-factor authentication: your password from your password manager plus your backup codes from your password manager.

I do recommend a password manager, but not to keep would-be-two factors in one vault.

Also the very first item in the guide makes a blanket statement about dictionary words being really crackable. I forgave that one for simplification reasons (reality: passphrases are equally secure if you use enough random words, just like using a password with enough random characters), but I've now read the recommendation for 3 points and 2 are bad and mediocre advice.

I am an IaC advocate. I see articles like this as a barrier to meaningful IaC adoption.

> In the tech industry, we can be guilty of the same crime sometimes. Certain practices get ingrained into the profession to the point where we forget exactly why we did it in the first place.

But in school he hadn't known why he did it in the first plave.

And more often in tech I see cargo cult practices that people don't understand but follow some steps that may or may not "work." Often these are misunderstood "best practices."

He goes on to say:

> Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a practice I really feel should be implemented everywhere it is relevant. It is good common practice, the popularity of which continues to grow.

Which is exactly how cargo cult practices spread. What do they do? How do the do it? I dunno but everyone seems to be doing something and I think it must be like FOO.

It's also incredibly dangerous to say we should follow a practice because of how it "feels." Does it "feel stable" or "feel understandable" or "feel fast?" Who cares. Show me the value, don't try to give me the tingles!

Affic | https://www.affic.com/ | Amsterdam, Netherlands | Onsite | Full-time | Software Engineer (Founding Team)

We’re building a company that aims to play a fundamental role in enabling tomorrow's workforce to work anywhere. We believe we’re in the very first innings of massive change that’s coming to how and where we work. Our goal is to support these changes by building the right solutions for tomorrow’s workforce.

The products you’ll build will make it seamless for workspaces and platforms to connect. Currently, it can take weeks or even months for workspaces to connect to platforms, create commercial partnerships and share their data and inventory. We believe this can be reduced to minutes with the right tools and implementation. The impact you will have with your work will be profound.

The tools used on the team include - but not limited to - PHP 8.1, Laravel, PostgreSQL, Redis, Google Cloud Platform, Terraform / Pulumi, Gitlab CI, and Docker / Kubernetes.

We're planning to expand quickly (and eventually move to flexible remote work), with our first hire being a software engineer (founding team). For more information, please see https://jobs.affic.com/software-engineer-ft/en
I think what the OP is getting at is that Apple has a "secret" list of domains that it has approved for suggesting. There's no means by which we can get on to that list. In an open source browser, this list would be public, and assumedly there would be some way of submitting a change request.

All that said, I think this is a little overblown. I doubt many people go to one site over another based on the existence of this list.
Wouldn't the ambiguous chain of command be part of the charm of a game like this? Emphasises diplomatic ability.

It's arguably a continuation of MK-85, which if you go mad with soldering could be upgraded with enough RAM and disk to run UNIX V6 or V7 - as the pocket "programmable calculator" had essentially MicroPDP-11/73 or MicroPDP-11/83 on a chip, including the MMU.

And the CPUs weren't clones, they were in-house design by Elektronika that had to adapt by decree to supporting PDP-11 instruction set and Q-bus.

But it absolutely does. The definition of marginal cost is "the increase or decrease in costs as a result of one more or one less unit of output."

So not only was the maginal cost exactly zero, some engineer actually spent time building the gating logic.

No, it was considered a design fault with these particular trains, and fixed soon afterwards.

Being unable to accelerate or unable to use regenerative braking is not in any way a safety problem. Either situation can happen at any time. (Electric trains have banks of resistors used to dump the unwanted kinetic energy when it's not possible to return it to the power supply, and this was the normal method for decades before regenerative braking became common.)
I have an MK-52, which I bought a few years ago very cheaply from an Ukrainian vendor on Ebay. It's interesting because it's programmable and even has a hardware expansion slot (although those expansions are hard to get). However, the keys are a disappointment, they're quite mushy.
This seems like a really attractive way of publishing events to a third party. Platform independent and easy to understand.
I don't know of any platform for this. You could ask around on Indiehackers, or just think about who could be interested in that project and google around to find potential acquirers. Who could add it to their existing offering as an interesting bonus, or add it to their core product?
Generally the kernel is involved when it comes to making use of hardware. Specialized hardware emerges when widely applicable bottlenecks are identified, like rendering 3D graphics, decoding video, or in this case TLS encryption. Not everything is destined for the kernel as userspace has generally desirable properties as well.
No one forced Putin to invade and commit war crimes in a so-called “brotherly” neighbour.

Sure, but. The USA did not tolerate Soviet missiles on Cuba and I am not sure this has changed - would the USA tolerate Russian or Chinese missiles at its border today? Therefore just saying that the Ukraine or any other Russian neighbor are sovereign states and can do whatever they want is at least somewhat of a double standard.

And just to be clear, I am not justifying the invasion, I am not saying that there was no attempt to find a compromise, I am not saying that Russia is not responsible that no compromise was reached, I am just saying that states constantly have interests in what other states are doing or not doing, and saying Ukraine or any other state is sovereign and can do whatever they want without consequences is naive a point of view and at best yields the correct conclusions by accident.

With that said, I still hope that the Ukraine will defeat the Russians as quickly as possible, with as little casualties as possible on both sides, and regain control of the entire territory as it was until 2014.
The idea is nice and needed. However maybe the spec is a bit elaborate for me to adopt it immediately. I've been rolling my own for some time at some clients, for our kafkaesque/event sourcing patterns.

However what I used there was simple http stream/json stream like this:

- No start of [] but JSON newline entries a new line is an new entry

- Using Anything as an id (we've been using redis XSTREAMS as lightweight kafka concepts, just 64bit integers)

- have an type as an event, and versioning is just done by upgrading the type, ugly, but easy.

- We'er considering using SSE at this moment

Compaction is not something that I would do in the protocol I think I would just expose another version of it on a different url I think or put it in a different spec.
Can anyone who used both this and PopOS compare their experiences?
You think a one sentence summary of events may not have provided all the nuance of the situation? Preposterous.
A truly independent investigation is what is needed. And the U.S. hypocrisy statements is not helping Ukraine's case one bit, like Anthony Blinken promising to hold perpetrators accountable. How about cleaning your own house first?

Again, an independent investigation is what we must ask for.
Cool website! I bought one of these for a pittance about 5 years ago on eBay. Came from Ukraine as ‘new old stock’, with the old manuals and everything. A time capsule! Unfortunately this thing has the worst buttons I’ve ever pressed. I’ll buy any RPN calculator I come across though.

Theranos' tech is impossible though, as far as everyone else in the field is concerned.

Blood from a finger prick is just not homogenous enough to give accurate levels of pretty much anything Theranos said they could test.

The most egregious thing uBiome has been accused of doing basically amounts to insurance fraud, which isn't great but also isn't on the same level as lying to customers about the accuracy of the test results they've received.

Insurance fraud isn't what made Theranos "Theranos" at all, so I wouldn't call a corp doing that "Theranos-lite".
I suspect the underlying application (Mastodon) is just unable to deal with that many users (the screenshot shows a waitlist of 1.4M users, in addition to all those that have already been invited), which would explain why they're taking ages to fix it because there's no real "fix" other than building such a platform from scratch which would take ages.
To be fair, the author does provide arguments for why Infrastructure as Code should be used, in the next few paragraphs.
Feels like a bit silly not to have made this compatible with SSE since all the mechanisms for acessing that are built into browsers these days.

Not sure how you can consider yourself a victim in the right with this sort of tone. Regardless I won't be wasting anymore of my time on this conversation. It may be beneficial to take a look at this conversation at some point when you have a calmer mind(perhaps after you have taken your medication if that's what it takes.)
Yeah, we're also pushing for SSE for this kind of things.
CloudEvents: Specification for describing event data in common formats
The article contains too little information about the exact chemical composition and structure of the new cathode and of the new solid electrolyte to allow one to assess whether the company will be able to deliver real products soon.

On the other hand, all the claims are theoretically possible, sulfur could indeed replace the much more expensive cobalt or nickel oxides, if a cathode structure allowing good reversibility has been found.

If the claims of the company are true and their batteries will start qualification tests during this year and mass production next year, it would be a very important development, by allowing in a few years much cheaper batteries, produced in much larger quantities.

Of course, until further information, the claims could also be over-optimistic and the new batteries might have some undisclosed problems that will not be solved in time to permit the announced schedule.

One possible problem is that the batteries have a solid electrolyte, which is presumably necessary to avoid a degradation of the cathode after too few recharge cycles. A solid electrolyte might limit the density of current, which would lead to a low maximum power per volume. In that case the new batteries might be disadvantaged in high-power applications, like power tools or electric cars.

There is absolutely no information about how many charge-discharge cycles they have achieved with their completely new cathode structure. This is usually a major problem with most new promising cathodes. Their new battery might be twice cheaper than the current batteries, but it might have a lifetime of only a third of the lifetime of the current batteries.
I met some really hard working people that literally had no good ideas - only poor clones of the most obvious solutions. So for me, event if it took him some work, he was far above most of others.
And I like to read the quote about Feynman method as a remainder of the obvious: we do not control our creativity - there is no structure to it that can be thought or sold (contrary to what some self help book writers would like us to believe). There is only chaotic exploration and time, and for some it bears fruit and for others it only makes them go round in circles.
This indirectly summarizes the problem with prep industry. When you optimize for interviews, you are going to get a lot of people that are pros at the interview game.

Darwin is open source and there’s nothing you can do to get your patch in (unless you’re the upstream of a package they include, that is).

Hmm, I see that Chromium shipped their implementation a year ago now; I had missed that. Other than that, there’s been no real change in the situation in the last almost two years (since Shoelace 2.0 was released, the last time I examined the situation). And there still doesn’t look to be any real interest in actually implementing it outside of Google: Mozilla are unenthusiastic though not against it <https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#declarative-s...>, and WebKit still find fault with some aspects of the design (https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2021-February/..., https://github.com/mfreed7/declarative-shadow-dom/issues/9), though they’re content most of the earlier issues (especially performance) are ironed out.

So you certainly can’t rely on scriptless server-side rendering of Shadow DOM being possible—it’ll work in Chromium only, and it’ll probably be at least another year or two before other browsers even contemplate doing anything with it.

(And of course, even once Shadow DOM is serialisable, that’s a far shot from a particular frameworky thing being SSR-compatible, but I was quibbling over the Shadow DOM and impossibility aspects, so I shan’t step back on that.)
> are to prevent you from making a bad hire who embellishes their skills.

Indeed. And exactly how do code puzzle interviews accomplish that? Because here is the gist of what happens, as described in the article:

The similarities to the test prep industry are very interesting. Is an algorithm
interview reflective of how an engineer works in their day-to-day job? Along those
lines, what is the SAT really measuring?

Whenever I standardize tests, at some point the parameters of my standards become known. It becomes possible to prep for the test instead of what I want to test for.

I kind of like this, I feel that it has a sort of realism that probably doesn't translate into a fun game, but showcases perhaps what these scenarios would actually look like.

The lighting moves around so fast shifting from dark to light as energy balls and fireballs are thrown around it is hard to track where the enemies are and it's frustrating but perhaps this is what such a chaotic event would look like?
The Ideal Engineering Team
Having a standard for what events look like is a decent idea as people generally just make some random thing up without thinking too hard and having a standard is generally helpful - but making your own polling system etc when there's already a battle tested one available seems like wasted effort and a bit counterproductive

Every time I see this statement I immediately think: which dictionary?
There are more languages than usual suspects (eg English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Mandarin) and L1/L2 speakers of those make up sizable portion of internet users. Are Welsh/Hungarian/Slovak dictionary words really as easily crackable than English ones? If you have dictionary for those, yes, otherwise I suspect no.

There are many contexts in which you may apologise, and the cause of getting people to recognise this is not well-served by this frankly hyperbolic stance that all of these contexts are abuse and that not apologising (properly, in your estimation) must be brainwashing.
