They did disclose it; it was in the press release:

In the case of Tether, the company represented that each of its stablecoins were backed one-to-one by U.S. dollars in reserve. However, an investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that iFinex — the operator of Bitfinex — and Tether made false statements about the backing of the “tether” stablecoin, and about the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars between the two companies to cover up the truth about massive losses by Bitfinex.

also

Tether’s claims that its virtual currency was fully backed by U.S. dollars at all times was a lie.

The settlement also bars Tether from trading with New Yorkers, and the must submit regular reports about their compliance with this prohibition.

I suspect the AG got what they wanted, they just managed to do so without taking time in the court system. I would assume that Tether realized that it wasn't worth trying to defend themselves and so agreed to settle. My use of "successfully prosecuted" might not have been the right way to phrase it.
Taking vitamins and supplements when you do not need them will always prove to be harmless or useless. All of these supplements can be tested for deficiency. Even omega-3 can be tested for deficiency. I do not advise anyone unless they know their genetics and their deficiencies take high dose supplements.

Local privilege escalations are about a dime a dozen. If you're executing arbitrary code, root isn't a far jump.
Nix learning curve wouldn't be bad if the documentation wasn't so bad. I have had to put together my configuration based on couple of blogposts from randoms.

Yeah this has me a little concerned, but only a little at this time. The only reason I'm not feeling any major anxiety yet is due to the ubiquity of Spring libraries/frameworks/products. They're everywhere used by thousands of companies, so it would be unlikely that this acquisition would have any dramatic changes for Spring. Perhaps a change in ownership or governance will occur, but hopefully there will be little or no impact.
Javac is extremely fast. It doesn’t have to do any optimizations.
I have a friend who does this. But his reasoning goes one step further. He's usually mentoring people on his team, so he finds it very valuable to be able to not only function quickly on someone else's setup, which is usually the standard, but to give them hints that'll work directly for people unfamiliar with the tools.
Yeah, my machine was up for replacement BEFORE this recall due to aging (7 years old.) I've been waiting forever for what Philips stated in the recall will be a 'refurbished' machine.
Your point about branch prediction working better in a microbenchmark than in real code is true in some scenarios. But it's also the case that if the code is called infrequently enough in the real program that it doesn't get good branch prediction it may not be worth optimizing, since that may mean it's not actually on a hot path.

There are also plenty of examples of microbenchmarks you can write for this type of code that don't suffer from the problem of artificially high branch prediction. An example used in this article is a function called downHeap which is presumably used as part of heap sort. Searching and sorting are good examples of algorithms that often don't do well with branch prediction. As a simple example, if you're doing a binary search for a random element in a sorted vector you'll expect half the branches to go one way (left of the pivot for the iteration) and half the branches to go the other way (right of the pivot for the iteration) without a predictable pattern, even in a microbenchmark.
So we should go ahead and do thought policing? That continues to be a hard sell.
There is no way that the US could convert to civil law. The country was founded on the common law of Britain. Widespread adoption of civil law would require the rewriting of literally all of the founding documents ... in a country where making even a tiny change to an amendment is forever a bridge to far. It would be a revolution, a new country.
What’s the material consequence of this lack of uniformity? When a new Python developer joins a team, is it painful or costly to accommodate their stylistic preferences? I see a single standard as a nice to have, but as long as the language has adequate tooling with reasonable defaults and quality linting, this just doesn’t seem like a big deal. Curious to learn first hand experience of those that switched from Python to Go…
The team lead does have a little authority to go with the responsibility whereas the Senior Developer tends to be given things to be responsible for without any authority to do them. But I agree about endless meetings and very little joy of coding.
Or in the case of most police departments, an apple goes bad (commits a crime) it gets put on suspension right next to the barrel while still being paid as the department 'investigates'. If it goes badly for the apple they get removed from the barrel, but then they either sue and get their job back and get put back into the barrel. Or move to next county and get put into their barrel.
It might be the hypervisor and related ecosystem of private cloud today, but I wouldn’t bet $61B on VMWare against the entire field (xen/kvm in Type 1, and all the container solutions) for 2027.
Enron, Lehman, and similar had serious pressure to buy company stocks including making it the default for a 401k contribution. But afaik there was no equity financing by the company. That said the culture was so heavy all in corporate stock many, many employees lost everything.

Never hold company stock. If you work there you’re already incredibly long. Diversify.
How fast to do what?

Go has one, the same one used by the compiler, so there's no arguments, no multiple standards, etc. Python has a few options, and when a new language feature comes out the time to implementation may vary.

Think of it this way, if you could all the python code on github and ran it though autopep8, what fraction of the files would be changed?

Generally in the go community, contributions, patches, code, etc that's not formatted with gofmt is considered wrong/broken.
Mushin: Automatic Differentiation in the GPU with Rust
It tries to be an improved copy of Tensorflow. It works the same way, but with guarantees at compile time. Using Rust's strong type system it ensures mathematical soundness while building your computational graph.

There's still of course a long road to go to be able to compete with something like Tensorflow, but I think the base is very solid.
I work for Volvo Cars. It’s not in any way a charity but I believe my work has a mostly positive impact.

Among traditional auto makers were one of the most serious and committed to full electrification by 2030 and 50% electric cars by 2025. We have the same schedule for selling cars online only, so software is not just a cost center or marketing channel, it’s the future of the company.

Volvo Cars creates a significant number of well paying jobs in manufacturing with good working conditions, benefiting local communities. For example, all employees across the globe, across manufacturing and offices, were recently given 24 weeks of paid parental leave (https://www.volvocars.com/intl/about/family-bond/).

We’re hiring in multiple locations https://jobs.volvocars.com
Not really, no. Took a drive from Seattle to Oregon a bit ago (200 miles one way), never once have i planned around charging stations or even thought of them.

Took a quick look at the map of the superchargers exactly once before the trip, just to doubly make sure there are any at all on the way, and that was it. The car navigation system automatically added the needed one to the path and showed exactly the calculated amount of charge i should have left by the time i get to the charger and/or destination. There were at least 6 supercharger stations on the path to my destination (didnt even look at the regular chargers).

I didnt charge my car prior to the trip, it had about 40% charge before I headed out. A bit past halfway through to the destination, i stopped at a supercharger (that the car notified me about and added as a stop on the navigation as soon as i started the trip, because it calculated i won't have enough charge to make it to the destination). Charged the car to 90% in about 40 mins tops (was one of the older v2 145kW superchargers, the v3 ones that I've seen before are much faster), went to mcdonalds and stretched my legs in the meantime.

There was a tradeoff of stops vs charge time: i waited to 90% to avoid additional supercharger stops, but if i was ok with those, my stop time would have been even shorter, because the charge speed is faster the less charge you have, it is like a logarithmic curve. I.e., about 10 mins of wait for 100 miles of range on the lower end of the charge, but 40 mins if i want to reach the 90% (with the total range being about 330 miles total).

I went into a lot of detail to explain things here, but during that trip (around 400 miles total), at no point have i even thought of or planned for charging specifically, the navigation system handled it for me just fine with pretty much no detours. And i wasn't driving through dense city areas either. Once i got out of Seattle and nearby areas (about 30 mins into the trip), it was all rural areas through and through, but somehow they still had about 7 supercharger stations conveniently placed on the way.
> "you are indebted to us so we'll give you preferential treatment" doesn't feel _not_ illegal.

It's not on the list of protected classes in CA, and CA has at-will employment, so it's probably not illegal, but IANAL.

Also, as others have said, we're missing important information, but offering the loans was obviously sketchy and sets up a bad incentive structure.
A larger problem is that the whole level system to all of these games is just kind of bad. It would be more fun if you just were appropriately leveled for each encounter and that was that. And each weapon were useable without needing to dedicate resources to it.

I prefer feeling confident that I’m at a good state to fight something and if I’m losing it’s just a skill issue to practice.

Farming in all souls games doesn’t actually net you that much, but it still feels like the easiest path forward at times. Elden ring is particularly weird with its scaling. Vigor gives much larger buffs to hp than people expect. Damage stats do much less.
XMPP has explicit support for "transports"/"gateways" for that purpose, so you could plug in AIM/ICQ/whatev support into your XMPP server. See https://spectrum.im/documentation/about.html for example.

I totally agree. That's why I loved it for me, but hated it if I ever had to deal with someone else's code. And why I never use it any more, unless I'm doing a bunch of text processing on my own workstation.

"And our seven months of efforts went in vain."

I see this kind of comment all to often and I think author is being to hard on themselves and their team.

A well intentioned, well though out attempt that doesn't succeed is still very valuable if you learned from the experience. A key factor in success is a management team that lets engineers experiment, fail and refine future efforts.
Exactly, which is why I carry and support the 2A.
My guess is that the demo unit can do some fusion, but it's not sustainable. (Like all the other 4 technologies listed in their page.)

Lol, here we are again bickering about Perl v. Python.

I guess nothing beats a good flame war... Emacs v. Vi anyone?
Thats been seriously untrue for myself. I found myself in a job that was a complete joke while also pounding me with off the wall expectations changing at every turn. How could you possibly plod through an environment like that while maintaining the energy to take on the second job of finding a job. I wouldn't say I quit out of spite, I quit out of severe disillusionment, so perhaps your advice is not qualified to apply in that case. But the general advice to quit a job when you have an offer in hand may be good for most but bad for some in particular circumstances. I would say don't dig yourself deeper into whatever hole you may find yourself, if that means you gotta stick out a job because you have no other runway well then do that. But taking time off from working for the economy doesn't mean its a net loss for yourself in the long run, it can free up resources to pursue more lucrative options, especially true when the knowledge worker is unyoked from all the cognitive demands of their day job.

Everyone, please fully qualify your advice.
Sounds like precisely the opposite world I want to live in.
I get where you're coming from, but their modern tools are pretty much in line with everyone else's--bear in mind that there isn't much of a cost savings from them, either. The Hercules portable table saw with a rack-and-pinion fence is a good example. A friend has one, I've calibrated it for him and gotten up into its guts. And it's built pretty well! But, by virtue of being built pretty well, it costs in line with what a Metabo HPT or DeWalt model does on sale, while having a slightly smaller table. Similarly you'll see pretty equivalent motors, bearings, etc. in those as in mid-range "name brand" cordless tools. I'm sure they shave here and there, but it isn't anywhere near what it used to be, and for light use they'll be fine for quite a long time. (Plus? Good return policies.)

There are few tools I wouldn't rather have cordless, though. Corded drills don't step to an impact driver for screw-driving (the only corded drill I have is a low-speed drill/mixer). Cords on an angle grinder or a jigsaw or the like get in the way more than they help. About the only corded hand tools I have are routers, and I wish my track saw was corded mostly so as to be able to pair the dust extractor with it (but I use the track saw outside a lot too, so it's a wash). All the corded tools in my shop have been retrofitted with either a Festool pigtail or a NEMA L5 locking connector to not have to deal with cords on the tool, and that helps, but it's still not great.
Consider turning your crate into a workspace instead. That usually helps to keep the compile times manageable.
This awesome, I'm convinced WASM SQLite is the future of in-browser strorage for web apps/PWAs.

Assuming this is normal WASM SQLite any persistence will be by flushing to LocalStorage/IndexedDB. There won't be any ACID compliance.

There is a project called "Absurd SQL" to back SQLite with a custom block based FS on top of IndexedDB. It is somewhat absurd but it works incredibly well!

https://github.com/jlongster/absurd-sql

I think combining WASM SQLite with the session extension (https://www.sqlite.org/sessionintro.html) would be a super interesting way to build an eventually consistent datastore for web apps. You could do all transactions locally and sync back and fourth just the changes.
it was a trend made possible by numpy and scipy being built for a decade before the phrase 'deep learning' was coined. it had just the right mix to blow up: easy to read, easy to write, batteries included.

it wasn't inevitable, but it was damn likely.

Personally, I don't care if they feel awkward, nor do I care to be perceived as loyal in matters of business. The awkward exchange wouldn't need to happen if they ensured that they're employees felt taken care of. You shouldn't feel accountable for that.

Good to see LucidRains get the love he (rightly) deserves. He's a beast!

As a thank you to him -- he also does for work for commission/etc, check hus GitHub page for more info. I'm not fiscally or currently otherwise directly linked to him too closely, I've just hung around a while and think he deserves far more credit than he gets. This is literally the smallest piece of the pie of what the man does across several subdisciplines, send him a thank-you please, if possible!
Maybe because most of the new "tech" startups/jobs -- that care more about language than other startup areas -- are in "crypto"/Web3?

P.S. Also, as a cryptographer: writing "high level" cryptography code in anything besides Rust is an unnecessary pain honestly. It just makes the work saner and manageable. Think of it like writing C with another set of eyes looking over you for mistakes.
I've never used the cleaning stuff they are talking about that would damage the foam, but just in case, I've placed a filter[1] in the tubing. It actually makes breathing with it a bit harder -- which is kind of stupid of me to do, considering the CPAP is made to make breathing easier. But I'm only doing this because I fear the thought of just inhaling toxic fumes every night.

Small note on the Bolt that's doing fine, I suspect a big part of why they're doing fine is that they're doing a lot more than just car sharing. Last I checked, they offer car sharing (car rentals), taxi service (think Uber), food delivery, scooter rental, and I'm sure there's other things in their basket. In many markets their taxi drivers do food delivery during slow hours, cars are moved into the rental part of the business when the taxi business doesn't need as many of them etc. It's a surprisingly well run business for a startup, honestly.
This is my favorite advantage of Go. It does the work faster with fewer resources. I know there are a lot of aesthetic complaints about the language but I don't care.
I have a repository with common config files.
Whenever possible I prefer to not just symlink files but instead include them (source in shell, load-file in emacs, etc). That way I can still have local variations, work-related stuff, etc.
Looks like it was WinDiff indeed. Sorry. kdiff3 has the advantage that it also works on Linux etc. though.

Have there been any studies specifically on the effects of violent video games on the mentally ill?

afaik the studies are all investigating whether video games make the average person violent or if they increase population-level violence and obviously they don't because until very recently violent crime has been at all-time lows.

> but it's only the US with the gun problem

Because we have guns. We all know this. But we've always had guns, and only recently have had mass shootings. So something else is at work here.

It's bizarre to me that so many tech people think we need to regulate speech, and news, and social media because it makes people do things they otherwise would not, but then they have this special carve-out for what are essentially mass shooting simulators, which they believe have absolutely no effect on anyone.

There’s no shortage of single-ply thinking in the world of politics.
What does that have to do with anything? They’re both wrong and it doesn’t matter which one is “worse” if in fact either one is. One bad thing does not negate a less bad thing if that’s the direction you were going.
It does not benefit me: you mistake niceness for kindness. There is little I can learn from you and your guideliness when you yourself cannot tell which is which.
I completely agree about the open world. The complete lack of breadcrumbs or anything to help you understand where to go made it a much worse experience for me, especially as my first souls game. The game even tells you to follow the Guidance of Grace, which leads you directly to Stormveil Castle, which you will be underleveled for.

I tried playing blind and ended up in Caelid (~lvl 60 area) instead of Weeping Peninsula. That's when I noped out and spent the rest of the game with my head buried in the wiki. I couldn't imagine trying to play these games without a wiki.

Everything else I enjoyed for the most part. The controls and hitboxes are a little janky, the platforming sections are total garbage (shoehorned into an old engine that never had it), but the open world execution was by far the worst aspect for me. At some point FromSoftware has to start catering to players new to the genre instead of forcing people to struggle and calling it part of the experience. With 12 mil in early sales I guarantee a bunch of players struggled with these aspects of the early game and dropped it altogether.
