Two armies take the field. One brings their swords and their gentlemen's honor. This is how Real Men have always fought, it's Right, and it's the way they'll fight today.

The other brings machine guns.

Maybe there is such a thing as absolute virtue, and maybe the army of swords has found it. Maybe it's worth dying on this literal hill to defend the way of the sword. Maybe they believe insisting that the world "should" work some arbitrary way will make it so.

In any case, by fighting this way they've chosen to lose. By losing they've ensured the values they're supposedly defending won't survive—so what was the point?

If your actual true goal is to preserve the way of the sword, you bring artillery and tanks and wipe the other army off the map; then you go back to your way. Or make alliances in which your swords can serve some purpose, or use diplomacy to keep the war from starting. Just anything that's not the least effective strategy.

If your goal instead is to feel Right, you fight as Real Men do and guarantee the way of the sword is extinguished.

There is no world in which you fight with swords against machine guns while ensuring the continued existence of the way of the sword. (There's an echo of the paradox of tolerance here.) You have to choose between defending it effectively, preserving it as much as possible in the world that actually exists, or doubling down and losing everything on purpose for nothing.

It's tempting to insist there is such a world, but that's just insisting on the way of the sword, again, except about possible worlds.
These major storage vendors only make the software; the hardware is commodity.

The customers figured out the prices of the hardware: disks or flash, a way to connect them to a "server", the "server", the network that the "server" offers.
When a video like this goes up, prices probably spike. Tiny inventory, and suddenly a ton of interest. I've seen this effect with other obscure nerd toys (e.g., Xeon Phi hits the reddit frontpage).

Maybe set a reminder to check again in 6 or 12 months after people have time to discover some more dusty crap in their garages or wherever this stuff comes from.
Cloudability is not an option for small companies.

Can you please mention a few of them that are good options in your view?
That's because those two are clearly different things despite your attempt to make them equivalent.
> While I can use a user agent switcher and it works fine that way, and most websites (even banks) don't whitelist OSes. I find it absurd that Chase can claim that they require Windows or macOS at every level, but not block Linux or Chrome OS.

switch bank?

what do you want? them to block Linux too?
This does look potentially interesting and I hope it takes off and does NOT take 5 years just to become useful and easy to install (seriously, I don't care about build scripts; just put it on a few package managers with the scripts embedded inside and be done with it).

That being said, after 20 years of Emacs I finally gave up and started learning NeoVim with its various nice plugins. It's a drag and a grind but every little thing I learn improves and accelerates my workflow -- the experience is rewarding.

And there always is some issue with Emacs, always and inevitably. I got tired of chasing after it, and I tried a number of "distros" like Spacemacs, Centaur, DOOM and 1-2 others whose names I don't remember.

Suddenly and out of the blue, neither Elixir nor Rust LSP modes can find the root of a project (?!)... whereas NeoVim LSP finds them just fine. I know, I know; it's not "out of the blue", but again, I got tired of pampering a piece of software that's apparently so fragile that every little small movement in the other parts of the system breaks it. It's burning me out.

Never should have started with Emacs and it's on me that it took me so long to finally give up on it, I know, but I'd really expect from programmers and "hackers" something more informative and supportive than "make it your own by tinkering, dummy".

Apparently it doesn't occur to those people that doing full-time programming and tinkering with your editors in off-duty hours is not everyone's dream life.

A good reasonable set of modern features and lack of friction out of the box are important. Emacs people don't value that. Pity. They lost a formerly passionate user.
This happened to me trying to buy a RAV-4 Prime 1 year ago (advertised a $40k car, they "adjusted" the price to $60k via a bait and switch). So you know what I did? I literally went online the day they told me about their adjustment, and reserved a Model Y.

My only concern is where all the scumbags are going to end up if car dealerships cease being a thing.
Any language which is dataflow based will be great in an async context. Async is hard in most languages because they are imperative, which stands in stark contrast to the whole idea of asynchrony. This whole exercise of adding async features to various imperative languages is coming at the problem from the wrong way around in my opinion. It's a recognition that async programming is hard in imperative languages, and the thought is that maybe this could be made better with more language features. But the sad truth is that async features clash hard with the imperative nature of most mainstream languages.
At least in the US, they can say that, and maybe they will throw you in the "do not hire back", but you could give 0 days notices legally. "Right to work" goes both ways.
I'm glad you think you are so smart.
Stock valuations had a pretty large pullback though so RSU compensation for existing employees is a lot lower than it was at the height of the red hot market.
>I've run into business that list their supported systems just based on what they test for

I bet that Chase is probably using a FOSS library that didn't whitelist FreeBSD, but whitelisted Linux and Chrome OS, and that while Chase only tested Windows and Mac the real "supported" systems is the FOSS library.

They may claim "our website is working as designed" since it's a FOSS library or proprietary service outside Chase's control.

It's absurd if Chase wants to block FreeBSD, but easier to understand if a third-party service or library blocked BSD. Or maybe Chase expects BSD users to use user agent switchers.

Reminds me of an issue with CenturyLink, where it actually was the Calix ONT causing a TCP connection limit (and a JTAG cable solved with cloning the ONT).

I also remember when Verizon blocked Tor middle relay IPs from their website, but Verizon was very good in escalating it to the responsible security vendor.

>I think when you decide to use something like FreeBSD you also sign up dealing with some things like this.

That's true. I have met many software engineers who don't know what FreeBSD is, namely web developers. They can't test a system they have no clue about.

Many people inside Microsoft (where I work) know what FreeBSD is, but at smaller tech companies, they have no clue. They know about Linux, heck my high school economics teacher knows what Linux was. I could ask a few questions about Kubernetes and they could easily answer, but FreeBSD, and "what's that?"

>When I was younger I ran FreeBSD for a while, but as I got older it wasn't worth it to me.

I've run FreeBSD for many years, being a committer myself, but am getting more involved in the Android modding scene which makes me have to maintain a Linux partition. Not that I really did anything in the Android world yet, it could also fall of my radar and I give up, but still.

I boot into Linux LiveUSBs when I want to flash and root my Android phone, or install LineageOS, mainly since FreeBSD's adb package has been broken for years and I never bothered to fix it myself.

I can admit being a BSD user is tough. BSD is 10 years behind Linux and Windows in terms of polish, due to a small userbase. Sometimes I think about switching to Linux, but nothing ever comes of this.

On an old "free" ThinkPad picked from my workplace's recycling bin, FreeBSD runs perfectly, with blazing fast (meaning 150 Mbps real world) Wi-Fi. But on a $1500 HP Spectre, there are a couple of papercuts, mainly unreliable ADSL2+-speed Wi-Fi.
BayesFormer: Transformer with Uncertainty Estimation
It baffles me that dealerships are raising the prices of cars they already have. Supply shortages causing bidding of higher prices of parts is expected. But increasing prices of cars that manufacturers have already provided to dealerships at the same price, seems like price gouging initiated by the dealership and predicated by greed (and should potentially be illegal?)
> In C++ I could always use my own styles / paradigms / patterns etc. etc.

That's also one of its major disadvantages, unless you literally rewrite the entire thing when major maintainer changes happen, because otherwise you get a mix of different C++ styles in your codebase which leads to nobody being able to maintain it.
I am lost, what is 'book times'?
> The nerdy tech worker was replaced by the modern day chiseled , slick , stock options loaded tech worker who would have gone to banking in 2006.

This reads to me as someone who has been in tech since the 80s as a new way to put down the nerds now that they are actually not socially despised any more.

Thanks but no thanks.
Did you leave off the sarcasm marker?
Right, the local government would have to use subsidies to support college educated workers. The whole system would surely fall apart. It is probably in governments best interest to safeguard against this.
DPM-Solver: A Fast Ode Solver for Diffusion Model Sampling in Around 10 Steps
I don't understand. What about this thread would make you fear running rust? Fear of learning a solution to rusts memory model, and 'fighting with the borrow checker' as they say -- sure. But rust never claimed that you wouldn't have to climb a steep learning curve, it claims that if you do make it up then the result can't hurt you due to a memory fault. So "fallen from the light" seems a little overdramatic.
Improving Diffusion Models for Inverse Problems Using Manifold Constraints
This. The sleight of hand that replaced class awareness with false awareness based on race is all you need to know about where progressive politics diverged radically from the traditional liberal left in the past decade. This is poison for the Democratic party and for workers' rights. It's pretty much the hitlerian model of substituting racial groups and racial strife as a corporatist placebo for class awareness to keep the masses atomized and confused.
I agree but people hear nerd and they picture the John Hughes caricature. This is no more accurate than Hollywood’s “Wall Street bro”. There’s some seriously douchey needs around.
Multi-Modal Fusion Transformer for End-to-End Autonomous Driving
If zero-cost wasn't an aim then it would indeed be much easier. For example, async fn in traits isn't (yet) in the language. The type system level changes to make them possible is being actively worked on (it is high priority!), but if we didn't care about "you can't write more efficient code by hand", then we would have provided that feature with the semantics of the async-trait crate[1], which provides a macro that turns `async fn foo() -> i32 { 42 }` into `fn foo() -> BoxFuture<Output = i32> { Box::new(async { 42 }) }`. Going down that route would have "silenced" that criticism, at the cost of locking us to subpar behavior at least until the next edition. The approach of waiting until things are baked well enough to land in stable is frustrating as a user today, but I believe has a better chance of standing up to scrutiny long term. In the meantime, the community is able to "plug" those failings, at the cost of worse dev UX due to not being builtin.

You can do that in Rust by using a "where" clause. Put in a letter for each type, then define them on different lines.
Sure, but it's not exactly the same. For example, you can't get your 220v out of the tailgate if you're parked in a garage(or generally indoors).
> dealership interests aren’t aligned with EV manufacturers. There’s very little service revenue

Citation needed. Both my EVs and ICEs needed similar amount of service. Breakage of drive trains are super rare nowadays (expect for over engineered performance stuff and just broken designs), same as breakages of batteries (cough, Bolt, cough).

All stuff my cars needed a service for in last 20 years were comfort features, gizmos, internal materials, electrical goblins, etc. Both ICEs and EVs.
All these "has the market cooled" "are we in a bubble, " "bubble burst" etc. headlines come as the Nasdaq posts one of its strongest rebounds ever. This is why the media is useless as far as investing and forecasting is concerned. They are always late. Salaries will remain fat for top tech companies because the factors that were in place 2-10 years ago are still intact. nothing has changed. trillion dollar companies means higher stakes than ever.

Junkyards are an option for indy mechanics, unless insurance is being billed. I had a choice between maybe 3 months for a new part or next-day for a junkyard pull. Chose the junkyard pull, but I trust my mechanic to find control arms that aren't bent.
How are they different? I truly do not understand your assertion.
Not to mention the TERRIBLE experience of being treated like a pocketbook by the salespeople. That also call, text, email and pester you incessantly once they have your details. Block them and they will leave a VM twice a day.

It's not entirely on the salespeople though. Their compensation structure and the nature of not respecting return customers, incentivizes this behavior

What really rubs me the wrong way is the tone in his original post, which sounds remarkably like a boomer complaining 'people didn't want to work and it screwed us do-gooders over'

In his follow-up comment it really sounds like their jobs were either shit or the compensation wasn't good enough. Lots of companies paid their workers well and didn't have retention issues, but the 'big boys' just treat labor as disposable.
the same as caste discrimination has got to go, so too class discrimination in the west is no different and should be eradicated.
Its only dragging on because record labels have some of these mega mainstream artists by the balls. As contracts die, as we see more independents rise to the top mainstream record labels will die. It's just going to be slow like cable companies. Inevitable but undoubtedly.
I think what everyone is wondering is whether it will become like one of those crashes.
My mom used to say I "worked for Google" (back when that was considered respectable) when I participated in Summer of Code one year.

Literally every other car manufacturer. Wtf…?
Eh, the German government will pay for abortions in first trimester, rape/abuse, or an important danger to mother's mental/physical health, or if the fetus is disabled (Yay Nazis?).

Germany allows nudity, sex work, and prostitution; bans Nazi imagery; and has socialized medicine.
So y'all do have a hiring freeze?
Leetcode is a counter response to an interview type that existed well before the current tech boom, and the interview type existed as long as google was an ascendant company, since they were the ones that popularized it. Before algorithmic interviews, there were microsoft's lateral thinking interviews that were the bullshit interview type du-jour that everyone complained about.

The money is the relatively recent thing that made people practice for leetcode more that wouldn't necessarily go into software otherwise, but the algorithmic interview was there before tech started paying a lot and became the only growth engine of the american economy that is left.
No offense and not trying to be racist or anything but I’ve never really worked with someone from South Asia or Eastern Europe who didn’t have some sort of insane crippling communication problem that made working with them nearly impossible. Yes I realize it’s a two way street but usually it’s US companies driving the car.
Agreed, if not a proxy then put your services behind a VPN or a bastion host when possible.
> The surprising incident in US was predicted more than a century ago.

That's my question: was this in US? Because in US if anyone pulls that kind of shit you head straight to the dean's office and address the problem. 2 years sleeping on a couch because of your roommate's conceit? It boggles the mind.
Easier to see multiple cars from multiple different manufacturers in person in one lot through an informed salesperson. Ford showrooms will not have Toyota cars.
Your ICE doesn't need oil changes, transmission fluid, a timing belt, spark plugs, or any of that?
The dealership model has never benefited the consumer financially. The majority of dealers view auto sales as one time transactions where their goal is squeeze money from the customer using morally dubious tactics if not outright lies. You have to place the dealership model in historical context. They were created in an era where the Detroit automakers monopolized the industry. And they created mostly shoddy cars. They created “choice” by rebadging one car and passing it off as another. There are good dealerships who want a relationship with the customer. But in my experience they usually end up selling to a larger dealership who only care about gouging the customer.

Plus with cars basically becoming high tech batteries on wheels with dozens of minicomputers. When an EV really breaks down, I doubt your local mechanic can do much about it. At the most, he can swap out one module with another (if he has it). More likely the only thing the dealer can do, is give you a loaner car while the manufacturer ships the modules and components you need. Ford and Tesla are probably better off giving you a loaner car directly and when the parts are available instruct you to go to the nearest repair facility or in the worst case, the technician will come to you.
Sorry what now? You cannot simply block the current attackers control addresses (they actually do give you these) or domains. First they could be either VPN users or "residential proxies" aka legitimate people with a botnet on their pc. Second the attacker - or anyone else who now knows it exists - can just change URLs or IPs. They can change the exploit signature so anti-virus and IDS systems can't trivially see it.

The ONLY correct solution here is to bring the servers offline until there is a patched version to upgrade to. Anything else would be a terrible idea.

_sometimes_ there is only one config setting that's affected, or some other often lesser-used feature that can be disabled. But it highly depends on the method used.
Anything with trait bounds beyond `fn foo<T: Trait>(t: T)` should put them in the `where` clause (and in this case, it arguably should be `fn foo(t: impl Trait)`).
I agree. there is not going to be major crash as all the overrated pundits are predicting, who keep being wrong over and over.

Yes all the crypto/NFT can crash and burn but demand doesn’t seem like its going to fall unless there’s an actual crash.

Crypto is just a very expensive hobby/fad. It has no bearing on the overall economy. It could all go to zero and the affect on the rest of the economy and stock market would be small or minimal. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 have recovered far faster than bitcoin. Crypto generates no profits, big tech generates hundreds of billions of dollars of profit annually. Facebook alone makes $40 billion/year profit, about 3x that of Walmart.
That's common but sometimes the cause is not what you would think.

In Spain there are many people with foreign or uncommon names... that are also biblical names. Abraham, Sarah, Aaron, Jonathan or Josuah (Josué) were unheard half a century ago. Now they're usual.

Why? In part, because Evangelical missionaries were more successful in poor quarters, specially among gypsies.

Also there's the famous actors thing. But now Vanessa also sounds natural enough.

Lucky for me, Conich, "convincing you" is relatively low on my list of priorities right now.
Ode to Mathematics, Isidore Ducasse (1869)
I'm not talking about pop ethics, I'm talking about good old "golden rule" boring stuff. There is a tragedy of commons aspect to acting in this way, and I knowingly treat others like I would treat myself even doubting I'll get the benefit of reciprocity. You could say that I derive utility from it, and it's selfish? I could also shrug and say that I can't disprove that and what is the difference, at that point.

I simply put myself in the shoes of the other person and ask, how would my decision make them feel? I may be even more selfish, in some interpretations, because I think that behaving this way impacts others, and pretty soon you have a culture of respect and empathy, which I think is good for everyone including myself. So I am acting towards my own benefit.

I haven't read Stirner or Spinoza much, but it seems like common sense to behave ethically in the way that I've described. And maybe you have a point with Stirner regarding your later music piracy point, because I don't pirate music, and I don't do it for any reason other than I feel my integrity is worth more than any song. I don't care at all for the major labels' thoughts, I do it for "selfish" reasons and maybe it's egoism. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My mother has no idea what I do. And she more or less tells people that.

Some days I am not sure what my job is.
Respectfully, you didn't really answer my question at all. The question, which I'll phrase slightly differently, is "why can't a person who's not from a particular race or group (i.e., an outsider) observe that people in that group are treating each other poorly, unfairly, or unjustly?"

What you said, on the other hand, is a bunch of familiar, well-worn complaints dating back to the 1990s from privileged white people who think they're being oppressed, even though that's not even the subject.
