OK, now that I'm actually awake, I'll try to finish answering per the OP's request:

Briefly mention the reason for the attribution. Or in other words write your heart out about why you love your field and why you love "the" books.

For starters, the 3 books mentioned are the only three that really stand out to me as having specifically related to my interest in computing. But it's not fair to say that I credit them solely with sparking my passion for computing. In fact, despite being an avid reader who reads a number of books that most people would probably find ludicrous, I would probably credit more of my interest in computing to other factors. Those would include TV shows I watched as a kid (Whiz Kids, Knight Rider, Automan, Max Headroom, etc.), movies (War Games, Tron, and years later The Matrix), magazines (in the 90's I was constantly devouring issues of PC Magazine, Byte, Computer Shopper, and suchlike), and early exposure to text adventure games and so on.

I'd also credit some books that sparked my overall interest in science / technology / engineering, if not computing specifically. Like a book on electronics that I borrowed from the high-school library over and over again until the cover was falling off (literally), a biography of Charles Proteus Steinmetz, etc.

All of that said, the three books do stand out as having been influential to me. Here's why:

The Soul of a new Machine - Kidder took a story that a lot of people would probably find very dry and boring, and made it into high adventure, involving a fascinating cast of characters. It's easy to read this book and come away with the feeling that creating a new computer is The Most Important Thing Ever. For my high-school aged self, that was profound.

Neuromancer - one of my first exposures to the idea that computers were more than just fancy calculators, or utilitarian tools, and rather a gateway to an entirely different world. No, an entirely different kind of world. The idea of "cyberspace" and the adventuring that could happen there... wow. Ever since reading Neuromancer I think I've secretly, on some inner level, been hoping for the day when we achieve VR or simulations that are that immersive and engaging, to the point of truly feeling like you're entering another world. Watching The Matrix definitely amplified that.

Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier - there are parts of this book that are of dubious veracity, especially some of the parts about Mitnick. Nonetheless, for me at age 24 or so, reading this was my first introduction to the idea that there were specific subcultures associated with computing, and frankly some of the exploits that these characters engaged in seemed rather exciting, if not even enticing. Who read this and didn't want to change the Class of Service on a friend's phone to "payphone" so they would pick up to dial and get the "Please deposit 25 cents for the next 5 minutes" message? C'mon, admit you. You all did.
Hey Buf-thanks for sharing your feelings and your kind words of support. And congrats for kicking ass in your release. A number of people have asked about donating, but frankly, I don't feel right about accepting charity. We'll get through this, and I will continue pursuing my life's work. Thank you again for your big heart. Richard
There are different types of private company. You have mentioned two of them. Twitter is is a publicly traded private company.
Follow Elon's example. He knows what's best.

I wanted to like VSCode, but when I found out that both the Python language server and the remote SSH editing plugin are only available in the MS-blessed binaries, I quit using it and went back to vim. At least that's everywhere.
Thank you for those examples. I agree that they are examples of predictions made by Musk that did not pan out.

That being said, do you think the majority of the predictions he makes in going about his every day business are wrong?

To get to the point Musk has reached, it seems to me that that would, over a lifetime, require a person making billions (?) of small predictions that no one ever hears about. I think it must be the case that he’s very good at making those kinds of predictions.

I agree with you that being wealthy does confer a great advantage to people. I don’t think it explains everything about Elon Musk and the success he has achieved to date.

To be clear, I don’t believe in free will. It seems like an error to me to look at a successful person and claim that they achieved their success single-handedly.
the coincidence part was sarcasm, everyone suspected he knew after the article came out
Minor correction: Rust does need a runtime (normally), it's just very small and embedded in the binary, so it mostly seems nonexistent, but it's there :) More info: https://prev.rust-lang.org/en-US/faq.html#does-rust-have-a-r...

Not to take away from your overall point, which I agree with.

I don’t mind this mandate to work from home. But to use it as a tactic to see if folks will self select to leave so as to not have to pay severance is a dick move.

High ceilings will help. Next step would be to add paint the joints and latticework (or run some colorful tape), and maybe add some LEDs.

Black light tape along the latticework, black light at the top of the room. Other lighting is all dim lighting in the lower half (warm lamps).

I dunno. It'll be hard to make this not look weird unless you do something crazy, like a drop ceiling so the fan and filters are inset. If the aesthetics are important, I'd put it on the home office (out of view from Zoom) rather than the living room.
When people talk about "private companies" they're referring to entities that are not government-owned/controlled. Being listed on the stock market does not change that.
Your saying that this being a possibility means all proprietary software is immoral is like saying that since some businesses are pyramid schemes, all businesses are immoral.

Spyware is immoral, I agree. That doesn't make all proprietary software immoral and collecting relevant usage data doesn't make it Spyware.

the C# debugger in the C# plugin is also closed source and refuses to run on non-Microsoft builds.

There is a C# extension that replaces it with an open source debugger, though.
Yeah the touchscreen was the first that "worked" like you expected it to - before the best screens were the ones with styluses which could work well, but was a piece to lose/harder to use at a glance.

There are a lot of people who are good at looking busy in the office and doing very little.

I can come in at 7AM, crush it, and leave at 2PM. Here is the thing, however - the guy who came in at 10:30AM and is sitting at his computer for some reason at 7PM is going to be viewed as the "hard worker". It's all bullshit.

If this is what Musk is doing, he is going to shed some of his most productive workers and leave those in place who are just good at fronting.
How is this so good? If you told me this was done by a very talented human, I’d still be surprised at how good they are. That must count as a sort of Turing test, no?
Plausible deniability.

Design the system in a way that it'd pick up competitor links as spam (without directly blacklisting them explicitly) using fine-tuned training data.

In case of media attention, tell it's an error and ML algorithms are blackboxes, and take action to "whitelist" those domains only when needed.

Yeah, we buy it, Twitter.
Yes, that would be a nice future. But how do I get to the office, now?

It didn't pick "something"- it chose scientific nomenclature as a basis, and synthesized new classes from that basis.

I see that the same topic is covered by you here

I will give multiple answers over the course of the day there.
I guess Tesla can pretend to employ them.
Well not sure.

My GFs blog is like in its 6th year now and every year its more visitors. Its not that much in internet terms (we are at ~700 visitors a day) but its serious content (dogs and science around dogs). No clickbaits, no cookies, no nothing.
That was exactly my experience. I tried this method many times, thinking I must have made a mistake each time, but it was always the same result. The seasoning would work beautifully for a short while, and then it would flake.

Luckily, later on I learned a better way - a cooking spray called Baker’s Joy, which is essentially oil impregnated with a little flour. The flour seems to help speed up the seasoning process, so you can get to a well seasoned pan quickly. I usually heat the pan up, either in the oven or on the grill, then spray the Baker’s Joy when it’s still very hot. I make sure the pan is well coated, then I wipe out the excess.

This technique won’t give you a hard shell like the flaxseed oil method does, but it does seem to produce the same results as multiple seasoning sessions in a single pass. I’ve also found that cooking an onion in the pan helps when the seasoning isn’t quite what you want it to be yet. I read once that it’s a traditional method for breaking in a carbon steel wok.
I still have my webOS Palm Pre, this was the last version that was round like a stone pebble. It still starts up. It is a very nice design that is satisfying to hold.

Version after the switched to a more flat with a little larger screen. Not as nice but I guess they had to compete with Android.

I made an app and its satisfying to see it in the Museum catalog.
I hadn't considered that option, thanks for the tip. I'm currently on Silverblue and that basically mandates the SSH extension.
Do you have any idea of the SIZE of some States and distances between HOMES, not just towns? Public transport is not feasible in some places, as are not bikes. Am I supposed to bike 30 miles for a gallon of milk? How do I bring it back?
The C# extension from the open-vsx repository is from Samsung. I've never used it but it looks like it uses omnisharp just like the MS version. I would say yes, it is usable.

I wonder if the shrinking of Tesla business translates to others in the electric car industry.
That's an IBM-ism that has a lot of mind-share but is far from the standard operating procedure of most tech cos.
Exposed steel connected to the steel in concrete is a recipe for disaster.
I would expect much more than that just for _normal_ attrition. People leave for any number a reasonable scenarios and you need to backfill. At the scale of a big company, NOT hiring 20-100 people at all times means you are _shrinking_.
I really don't think Tesla employment count has that big an effect on the broader US economy. Do you?
Open VSX (and perhaps VS Code Marketplace) might consider adding support for identity verification through Keyoxide[0]. This would allow interested parties to easily determine whether the user bung87 on Open VSX and the user bung87 on VS Code Marketplace are really the same person and not just someone claiming the same username. There is already support for linking Keyoxide to one's GitHub account and even Hacker News, among other service providers.

> but when they launched GitHub Copilot...

What happened next? Is anyone using copilot for serious work? Has it changed programming in a fundamental way?

I personally have zero use for copilot since the for type of code I write the actual code writing is not a bottle neck, so automating that process is of no value to me. On top of that getting the details exactly right is essential so the ratio of boiler plate to real code is very, very low for me.
I have used Jekyll for over a decade, but for the next iteration of my static personal homepage I am using: POSIX make, POSIX sh, POSIX sed, and tidy. Considering adding POSIX awk to generate a small portion of the HTML from tsv. Also not overly happy about tidy (it is difficult to control its level of output [1]), so I may look for a replacement.

Why? I have been on a bit of a minimalist streak recently and I wanted to see if I could keep things simple and as close to treating it all as text as possible. So far I have to say that it feels refreshing and trying to come up with simple solutions has made me feel much more motivated to get coding.
This is the age old false dichotomy between personal use (minuscule percentage of green house gasses) versus agricultural/commercial use (the actual elephant in the room).
>Also, if they tax the fuel (which they certainly should) someone still needs to work out how to apportion that to the individual customers.

Why is this even a problem? Fuel costs money today, yet airlines are somehow able to "apportion that to the individual customers".
Sounds like maybe fartcannon saw the anti-competitive things large companies have done in the past.

What is "Electromagnetic Field Camp"? URL? Does it have a page in Wikipedia?
That thesis is really fun, but it will take me a couple weeks to digest. Before it even starts I see Pat Hanrahan, who is one of the nicest most creative people I have met in CS (), I know this going to be good.

A fantasy of mine is to have a bag of arbitrary constraints and behaviors of agents that exercise the system. One could sketch a building, model the behavior of people that will use it and let the system run, doing backwards and forwards inference to evolve a structure that makes those agents satisfied across lots of criteria. The designer if they are still called that, can select designs they like and the system can use that as a seed or test oracle. Virtual cows, cow paths and evolvable structures wrt those cow paths.

All that huffing and puffing about remote workers having to return to office was just more of his immature bluster hiding the fact that he was eliminating positions anyway.
Your take on Kermit is too literal. Allow some artistic license. And you neglect all of the other thematic elements from the prompt.
It's a convenient excuse that IMO can actually be the truth, even if I am aware of the Hunter laptop and other censorship (sorry, disinformation prevention) cases the company had.

I can see how some shady content had a similar URL/behavior that accidentally got this flagged (though I'm not a mastodon expert, so I might be wrong).

I'd wait a day to see if the problem gets fixed. Even if they fix it, we will never know if it was a real bug or they hoped there wouldn't be backlash for this "feature".
I think people are missing the point. YES this is bad engineering for a finished product:

- The fan is not designed for high static pressure. It won't do well pulling air through filters.

- It's ugly. It will get uglier as filters get dirty.

- It's expensive to replace filters.

- Etc.

But it's not a finished, industrial project. It's a prototype. Those sorts of issues are universal for prototypes. They're easy to address:

- Switch to a rotor design with higher static pressure

- Provide prefilters. Ideally, there's a nice cover, followed by a washable pre-filter, followed by a carbon filter, followed by the fancy high-filtration filter.

With an appropriate frame, it could be beautiful -- nicer than a normal fan. The filters could actually reduce noise. The frame could guide air (much as in a Vornado), increasing airflow.

Good job OP. It's a clever idea and a good design. It's a proof-of-concept implementation, but that's the point of a proof-of-concept.

(Unless you like the DIY aesthetic, which some do)
Hey Wheels-thanks for sharing your positive thoughts. We had 2 business lines: our job board and our staffing business. The job board is very low touch, although it does require dedicated personnel driving employer acquisition. But the tech side is easy.

By far, the bigger business is the staffing company, and it requires lots of people to land large corporate accts and service them day-to-day and drive job-seeker acquisition. People are expensive, as you know.
> it increases many remote workers' savings rate

I think that was true during lock-outs, for obvious reasons, but now? On the contrary, people have more money to spend and the opportunity to spend it.
People being purely hypocritical when it benefits them is an all too common theme these days. As far as politics go, the only goal is power. Any steps towards gaining more power are right and just, regardless of how hypocritical they may be.
ProGuardCORE is very similar to ASM; they have a similar feature set and a similar visitor-based API. ProGuardCORE came about because ProGuard itself never used ASM when the project was started 20 years ago.

We split out ProGuardCORE from ProGuard 2 years ago, to provide as a library the core underlying bytecode manipulation & analysis tools that ProGuard and the Android security solution DexGuard both use.

Much of our recent focus in ProGuardCORE has been on the code analysis components: we've recently added to ProGuardCORE some of the analyses that power our AppSweep mobile security scanning service (https://appsweep.guardsquare.com/). For example, taint analysis https://guardsquare.github.io/proguard-core/taintcpa.html
A big con is that the ecosystem is young still. You can generally find stuff for almost anything at this point (even enterprisey stuff like OData client generators), but they're not "established" the same way their C++ equivalents would be.

GUI and Game dev spaces in Rust are very inovativne and in how they solve some problems, and I'm fairly enthusiastic about both spaces, but I'd be reluctant to recommend them for production, because they're still immature/developing compared to anything in C++
LOL he literally works for a company that makes expensive electric cars and markets that as the future.
It was very good. That said, I read it for the first time around 35 years ago, and it's hard to say now if my impression of it was a product of the times or not. But that I mean both my age and level of knowledge of computing at that time, as well as the prevailing zeitgeist regarding computers and technology. A person reading it for the first time today might not find it as profound. Or perhaps they would find it even more so. It's hard to say. In either case, I'd still highly recommend it.
Fusion hype is like fission hype in the 1950s. "Clean" compared to fossil fuel. " so cheap you wont need to meter it".
Not to detract from the accomplishment, but none of these are Kermit. The "Kermit" part of the query seems mostly to have accomplished querying for "humanoid frog"
> Unless you can examine what's being sent

You can: telemetry code is open source. For a more detailed reports like crash reports you usually can see the full report and approve it before sending.

> The only reason to collect data surreptitiously

It's not surreptitious at all.
> People don't buy coffee on the way to work, people don't buy coffee on the way home, people don't buy sandwiches and snacks, people don't spend money on commuting, people don't spend money at resturants for launch, companies stop having team lunches.

This is the broken window fallacy. Just like you can't improve the economy by breaking people's windows to get them to spend money on window repair, you can't improve the economy by forcing people to go to work to get them to spend money on coffee and gas
Thanks for your kind offer to help.
The logic of social media pileons is too pervasive at this point. As you can see upthread, a lot of people genuinely believe that they’re morally obligated to join these kind of pileons precisely because there’s not much information available; if we don’t apply pressure, there’ll never be a full investigation and they will get away with it! (And I very much include myself in "people" here, I've been there before many times.)

I think you just have to accept these days that when you go on an online platform you’ll see a few outrage mobs gathered around some tiny scrap of information. It’s like walking into a nightclub and asking people why they won’t drink more responsibly.

They will of course say that it's a bug otherwise they're in potential great trouble.

But "why" that "bug" was there in the first place is another issue.
I understand the desire of people to hate others just because others a richer but I’ve seen a bit too much assumption about how he runs his company from people and how he should be spending his time in their opinion, and it’s not just Elon Musk that gets this. Which CEO would be better, one that gets on the assembly line of the product and spends 80 hours a week helping employees put together the product, or a CEO that in two hours a week thinks of improvements that cut employees time needed to spend on assembly by 50% and increase quality of the product so that sales go up by 10 fold? Obviously productivity measures made in hours spent are ridiculous for both you, me, and CEOs.

In the dns-only mode, IPv6 should work.

The reason for not supporting IPv6 in the firewall-mode is two fold:

1. Firewall today simply stores classless IP address rules as strings in a sqlite table fronted by a lfu cache backed by a typical hash-map. With IPv6, I'd imagine, this won't scale. So, we need a more economical in-memory data-structure (like a crit-bit trie [0] or an art tree [1]).

2. Apparently LwIP has problems with HappyEyeballs (I personally never saw it, but got a couple of reports from users about it that it was an unrecoverable error once the connectivity was lost, and the firewall had to be restarted to get internet back up). We're in the process of replacing LwIP with gvisor/netstack now [2], just to get IPv6 support back on track.

---

That said, I'd imagine the app should work just fine over IPv6-only networks thanks to 464xlat [3]. I may be wrong, because I've never tested it on a IPv6-only network with support for it.
