How can we tell to what effect WFH has had to make supply chain worse? If some percentage of people are pretending to work, why couldn't that worsen the issues by some other percentage?
The amount of data available in the automotive world is incredible. License plates connect VINs with everyone who owned the car. Driver's licenses can be inferred if not directly connected. History of fines tied to person or vehicle. Dealerships and insurance have records tied to the VIN. Who financed loans for how much...

It just doesn't stop.

This is why I install so few apps. Yes granular permissions are a thing, but I always ask myself am I okay with this app potentially getting my data even if I saw no thanks to some yet-unknown side channel attack? Google apps are whatever because obviously they already have my data since I'm on Android.
Under the veil of ignorance I fail to see how people, unaware of their own race, would agree that certain races were inferior and should be subject to slavery, such as that of the early United States. This is because they would know that they might end up being part of the subjected underclass. Societal standards on the other hand, brought us the institution of slavery. The veil of ignorance is a lens for viewing society through and arguing whether or not someone that came from societal standards is just.
Let's hope Rocket.Chat don't limit federation but use/allow open federation to all Matrix servers and also use and enable the XMPP bridge too. This will give both protocols a boost. Btw: Will they drop the "old" federation?

I am always amazed at how much these old instruments go for, one of my uncles was an extremely good violinist and I remember that as a kid I wasn't even allowed to go near his instrument. (To be fair, I had a bit of a reputation...)
It's a joke. Brainfuck has extremely bad performance.
I think another differentiator is support for streaming. Tbh I am shocked at the number of folks that use streaming, but alas.

One super underrated feature Connect offers for Go devs is access to the request/response headers. No more plumbing incoming/outgoing context :phew:
Wow, I haven't heard of these companies or practices. What do they do?
Since founding GraphCDN, I've been surprised by how many customers we see using Hasura. I was aware of Hasura beforehand, but sort of wrote them off after seeing the fates of GraphCool (pivoted to Prisma) and Scaphold (acq. Amazon).

Apparently, there's strong demand in the market for quicker ways to create GraphQL APIs (see Graphile and now Graphjin), so I'm excited to see more innovation in this space!
I would make a shell corp that held all revenue.

No obligation to fines.

The key is to set multiple avenues of responsibility. It may be easy to find loopholes individually, but collectively it would become too burdensome. At least, for the company, make skirting the charges be as costly as following suit.
> The Tim Hortons app asked for permission to access the mobile device’s geolocation functions, but misled many users to believe information would only be accessed when the app was in use. In reality, the app tracked users as long as the device was on, continually collecting their location data.

How does this work on an iPhone? If in Location Services and I have app set as "While Using the App", I'm assuming it's not possible for Tim Horton's app to collect data "as long as devices was on". Did it somehow bypass these settings?
That is incorrect. Many things can cause the human body to burn fewer calories than height, weight, and activity would suggest, and one of the easiest ways to determine if someone is affected by one of those metabolic dysregulations is to take their temperature.

If their temperature isn't 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or very close to it, they are metabolically compromised (note, of course, that people will practically never have a resting body temperature of greater than 98.6)

I had a full dexa scan and calorimetric exam done and my body was burning approximately 300 calories a day under what it was supposed to. My resting body temperature was 97.3. If I ate what my TDEE should have been I would have been putting on half a pound a week or more.

Eating more and exercising to rebuild muscle lost to over dieting has corrected that issue.

But saying that it doesn't exist is completely wrong. The math is still "calories in, calories out" but you can't assume that "calories out" is static and inflexible. There are many variables at play in the human body.

I'm reminded of the corporation taken to arbitration story yesterday. I'm curious if you would be able to get anything from Tim Hortons if you did that.
It's not dying, it's a dead market. Some haven't quite realized that yet, but they will soon enough. Nobody can complete with Apple Maps or Google Maps, going forward. Not even on quality, let alone the combination of quality and price.
I agree, but only to the extent that we need to consider a cutoff somewhere for extraordinary bad luck. Maybe we only consider maximizing the well-being of the 99.9% or the 99.99% of people like how we mostly ignore the maximum response time for a server in favor of looking at 95th percentile.

Do you have any evidence for the claim that minmaxing causes a steep drop off in overall expected utility? I'm not sure if research has been done about this with traffic lights, but I think that could be a good case study about this. Minmax for traffic light timings would mean minimizing the maximum wait time at a traffic light, though I could see how such a strategy might hurt the overall throughput of the intersection. In the extreme case, you have one granny trying to cross a 6-lane stroad during rush hour; in the pure throughput model, the road would never stop for granny and in the minmax model, she would only need to wait about as long as it takes her to cross the road. Obviously, different models would still allow granny to cross the road eventually and maybe with less of a throughput hit than pure minmax. All of this is speculation though and I'm curious what the throughput hit would be for minmax.
> My salary is approximately equal to what a graduate might earn 1-2 years after graduating in the local market

When talking about the "local market" in Europe one needs to take into account the large number of "dark matter devs" that are working remotely for SV companies, at SV salaries. They simply won't ever show up for interviews at local companies.
Yes. They park it up there so it won't sit in a hangar decaying, obviously useless.
In my case it was La Femme Nikita (not too different from CSI).
Newton was amazing. Once you did a bit of training, it could read your handwriting with easy. The assisted drawing was the coolest thing and something that only recently Apple has brought back. I only had a Message Pad 110 - I really regret not saving a bit more for the 120 - it was a marked difference between the two.
agreed. My favorite office environment was a cube farm, and I’d argue that it was less “soulless” than the myriad open offices I’ve worked at since because people actually personalized their spaces.
I drink instant coffee from Walmart. It's cheap and effective. I actually like the taste too.
It's not necessarily for a street view style product, they could just be gathering ground truth data for more accurate maps.

(I've always been surprised that Tesla didn't leverage their fleet of cars covered in cameras to build a maps product.)
Yes, stock market growth is largely driven by the real growth in earnings and dividends.

Nominal figures are not adjusted for inflation. "Real" numbers are adjusted for inflation (in economics-speak).

The stock market (e.g. S&P 500 index) has real earnings that have consistently grown over time (although earnings are quite volatile). The real dividends paid by the companies that make up the stock market have also grown over time.

Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor at Wharton, wrote a great book called Stocks for the Long Run that shows stocks have grown about 7% per year (inflation adjusted) over the last 200 years.

> What would the market look like if we corrected for the money supply?

I think it's better to correct for inflation. The money supply can grow and it doesn't necessarily cause inflation (see the 2008 monetary response to the Great Financial Crisis as an example).

> It seems like the stock markets (USA) growth is strongly correlated to inflation

I'm not sure this is true. In the 70s, inflation was high and stock returns are low. In the 90s, inflation was low and returns were high. In 2021, inflation was high and returns were high.

Seems like a stretch from the DOJ. I wonder if plaintiff settles or goes forward with the trial.
¿Por que no los dos?

The individual goes to jail, not the company. So how much does a fall guy cost a company? That’s just cost of business if responsibility is only held by the individual.
Maybe rocks in the scree cool down the air in the pores between them. Cool air is denser so it sinks and flows out at the bottom of the porous layer, and new warm air is pulled into the ground towards the top of the scree pile. People found the places that cool air was flowing out and built these grottos there. Not saying I knew anything about these before 10 minutes ago, but that seems plausible to me.
As a fellow Oregonian, I have been unwilling to continue the classic, expensive, ineffective, and problematic war on drugs for a long time. I'm hard-pressed to come up with a worse system. (That old system works really well for drug lords, which really should be enough reason to give us pause.)

So anything else would be better, like what we've done in Oregon.

But you're right that we haven't pushed the treatment aspect hard enough. So let's fix that.

But I'm not paying for the old broken system anymore. Pure boondoggle.
I don't mind the rebranding insomuch as unifying the product and making things cohesive visually. What I'm not a fan of is how Proton succumbed to the "bleach white and minimalist" school of thought that has been raging for over a decade. There is a dark mode, yes, and I've been using it as an alternative. But even the "classic" theme looks like an overexposed photograph - why must everything not explicitly dark be so white and bright?

False. People greatly prefer CarPlay if they are iPhone users, and already people are refusing to buy any car that doesn't support it.

Phone holders are over.

Even as early as 2017, the majority of car buyers already wanted CarPlay in a new vehicle and one-quarter of buyers said it was a "must have". That was five years ago. I'm sure the numbers are much higher now.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/29/apple-carplay-massive-succes....

Over 80% of new cars sold now support CarPlay. There's a reason for that: customers demanded it and walked out of dealerships if they didn't get it.
As others say, the density means you are walking distance - and otherwise public transit or bicycling distance - from all sorts of services, arts, etc. that aren't in the suburbs. I'll add that those services, arts, etc. include much that is far better than what is in the suburbs - better food, art, music, etc. etc. That doesn't appeal to everyone, of course, but if you care about it, then there is no substitute.

Look up a listing of music playing this weekend in NYC, for example. Look up arts and museums. etc.

That's a fair point. Code churn creates bugs. That's a good argument for slowing down the pace of browser development overall, except maybe the kind of development that focuses on security hardening.

Libpas has some security features that bmalloc didn't have. It goes further than bmalloc in avoiding inline metadata (bmalloc had an IsoHeap<> thing that used scrambled inline freelists). Also, libpas opens the door to isoheaping all allocations in WebKit (see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231938), which would be a big security win.

Also, libpas has been fuzzed to death. In test_pas, there's a bunch of fuzz tests I call "chaos" and I've run those for extended periods of time (days, weeks) after major changes. Of course it still has bugs, but considering how insane the heap organization is, libpas also makes attackers' lives much harder in the short term.

The combination of libpas's enhanced security features and the fact that it substantially changes heap layout might be enough to cancel out the fact that it has increased bug tail. And... if you're worried about bug tail from major changes introducing security vulns then there are probably much worse major changes that someone could do.
I'm mostly going against the extreme hyperbole of "we as a species" as if software developers in private offices are a species on to themselves. The percentage of humanity who did not have a private office for their main workspace vastly outnumbers those who did, and its been this way since probably the beginning of civilization. Its absurd to suggest that "open offices" are some recent fad from the 90s or even 80s...offices have had open spaces with multiple people in them since we've had workplaces! And even then, many of those offices had highly skilled people working on difficult engineering problems, and they often didn't have private offices either. Plus, its not like non-repetitive thought-engaging work is only done in offices, tons of challenging work is also done in the field or in labs or elsewhere.

Are brickmakers and steelworkers and mechanics and factory workers and lab techs and pharmacists a different species because they never gave up the loss of audiovisual privacy at their workplace? No. Its an absurd and vastly insulting statement BlargMcLarg was making.
Third option: the team looks at the work from someone who is outside and bring them to do the things that the team is not interested in doing.

In all three cases, though, it sends a signal that there is demand for the changes. This works as both validation for the developers (our users wants this so much they are paying someone else to do it) and also for other companies (oh, why should we be paying this much to a closed-source service if we can pay a fraction of the price to get a reasonably-well-supported open source version?)

> At the "new" office, no one has an assigned desk

Yeah, somehow management has conveniently forgotten that an "office" has a door. If it doesn't have a door, it's not an "office".

With open floor plans, it's hardly a surprise that nobody wants to come back to the office.

Strange.
There are a couple of approaches that might legitimately be simpler than using a general-purpose allocator: in a single-pass batch process, just throw things on the floor and let the OS sort it out on exit[1] (I think the D compiler does this); in a multiple-pass batch process, make each pass litter its own room (arena, obstack, etc.) then demolish said room when done (GCC does this or at least did in the past).

On the other hand, these may require rearranging the logic somewhat to fit them, so the question of how much rearrangement to tolerate still remains. And, well[4],

/*
* We divy out chunks of memory rather than call malloc each time so

*

*/

[1] I am rather dismayed by how Raymond Chen advocates for this for memory[2] but insists it could not possibly be a good idea for Windows GDI handles, no, you stupid sloppy programmer[3]. Maybe because he was involved in GDI from the other side? (Of course, for file descriptors on Unix it’s still the standard practice.)

If you can launch hundreds of useful satellites with a single launch, you can also launch thousands of satellite killers for the same price. A simple short-lived satellite with some sensors, minor maneuvering capabilities, and the ability to turn into a debris cloud on a close pass should be quite effective when deployed in huge numbers. The economies of scale favor destruction if you really don't care about the consequences.
I’m under the impression that as an employee also you don’t have to sign a specific agreement not to use company insider information for personal gain, but having signed that agreement strengthens the case that the accused knew what he was doing was illegal.

The Find any file app is actually free and only asks you to donate, but still gives full functionality.

I remember reading years ago about one of the more amusing machine translation failures. The software translated "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." into Russian, then translated the result from Russian back into English, and the result was "The vodka is good, but the meat is spoiled."

I tried the same test with Google Translate just now and the result produced was "The spirit wants, but the flesh is weak." Not bad.
That setting cannot be bypassed on iOS.
That's pretty surprising. I know that there has been tons of controversy swirling around the company the past few years, but things have seemed relatively quiet lately, other than their recent bad revenue growth.

Do people here think this is a shakeup at the company or that she legitimately wanted to do something else?
Very cool, love the direction and this is definitely needed
