How about the static linked executables? No LD_PRELOAD? The technique is at least 10 years old. I guess this is cutting edge hacking at blackberry - the Iphone killer.
When I worked for google, several of my projects were developed locally on laptops. My intern (who was developing tensorflow robotics computer vision stuff) used homebrew to install tools. Not everybody at Google used blaze.
The self-sovereign and censorship-resistant bitcoin also challenges political control of BOTH of the major political parties in USA.
It was 1:50 vs 1:53 - probably just noise.
Usenet is a spam-riddled cesspool, the only advantage it has over Reddit is that it is technically more open and it doesn't annoy you with its mobile app. I heard stories that it was better before eternal September, but I wasn't there, maybe some greybeards can comment on that.

And sure, some newsgroups stayed good, but the same can be said of Reddit. Some subreddits are very nice and technical, others are terrible.
I’m starting to slowly realize how terrible it is working in environments where people simply aren’t curious. It’s so hard for me as an individual contributor to decouple this way of thinking. Curiosity is how we find better ways of doing things or finding out hidden flows that can be better. Incurious people are a contagion, but I want to believe you can make people curious. It can’t be innate.

Every company talks about wanting to have driven curious employees to solve complex issues or challenges but you just get stomped with a boot to your face if you do anything outside your lane or simply ask why.

It’s also worse because I’m starting to realize how lucky I was to be raised as a curious individual from my parents who never went to college but at least were curious themselves about different things (pottery, soldering, gardening).

The quote “Curiosity is insubordination in its purest form” suddenly has a different context when working for a company.

How easy is it to get papers on? Do you email the PDFs or similar?
> It seems pretty clear to me that in the video games industry (and pretty much any 'art' industry for that matter) great results are driven by singular, great people.

Nah. What actually happens is you have one [or more] driven people and a team of others helping guide them and restrain their excesses. After a few commercial successes, the rest of the team gets forgotten or left behind eventually and the single celebrity creator, now unrestrained (and ego inflated by fans), starts producing crap.

Hideo Kojima, I'm looking at you.
Throttle your connection and use a machine with low ram, and you'll soon find most websites are unbearably slow.
These days you could fight spam simply by adding a proof-of-work requirement for posting content to the network. Isn't that exactly what this Web3/Blockchain fad is all about anyway?
29,000 tech layoffs in 3 months: 3 Steps every manager needs to take
It's not a good time for tech:
- 3rd largest NASDAQ downturn in 20yrs
- Growing companies down 75% in 6mo

And now… 30k people laid off since March.

Including from companies like Tesla, Superhuman, Loom, Bolt, Clickup, Netflix, and Canva.

There's a lot of stuff written on what founders/execs should do.

But nothing for the manager caught in the middle.

I thought I'd write a quick take for us to discuss

---

First... the doom and gloom your reading is probably true.

Your company isn't immune from this -- and it certainly can't survive without your help.

So Tech Managers here's 3 things you need to do:

---

1. What to do today: Change your mindset

- You’re not a bottle floating in an ocean at the whim of the wind. Be a buoy
- It's extra important to be a diligent leader today.
- Don't create fear or spread rumors. But do due-diligence on your function to get ahead of things.

---

2. What to do this week: Do an audit
A) Goals: How are you tracking? What's best case, most likely, and worst case? Whatever it is, build a plan to get back on track starting now.
B) Team: It might be time to kick some of the nice-to-have projects down the road 6 months so you can stay hyper-focused on your goals. Make sure your team knows why they’re essential to the operations of the business - it will help focus.
C) Expenses: Cut what you don’t need. In reality, you should consistently be doing anyway. But take this time to re-set.

And tally the total… you’ll need it later.

---

3. What to do this quarter: Take action

Don’t get paralyzed by analysis.

A small action now is just as meaningful as a large action much later.

---

There's so much more that you could/should be doing including...
Discussions to have with your team
Get serious about managing up
Use your network for any hires
Questions to ask your boss
Make diamonds

There's actually so much of this other stuff I wrote an article to cover it (https://hypercontext.com/blog/modern-manager-community/how-managers-should-prepare-for-layoffs)

What'd we miss?
Why shouldn't they be able to know/inspect/scan the content that they are physically storing?

I'm genuinely curious the logic.

From my perspective, they're a company providing a service and can determine the terms upon which they'll provide it. You don't have to use them if you don't like it.
There's no smoke 'cause there's no fire. No innovation in computers or comp sci has taken place in the last 20 years. Not one.

Everything being sold today as Web3, the metaverse, etc are all repackagings of existing technologies with failed products already in the market.

Web3 is last week's leftover produce, nothing more.
Each build is unique and requires way too much overhead. The new generation of preapproved factory assembled SMR's are the future.
Delete every recreational app on your phone. Also delete anything that gamifies passive consumption, e.g. Duolingo.

Put some ebooks on your phone and read those. Stop mentally associating the phone with the infinite novelty generated by algorithmic social and YouTube feeds.

Do not open your web browser unless you have a specific search query in mind.

Disable all notifications except for the calendar and clock.

Treat your phone as if it had no online connectivity. When you open the phone, use it to organize your notes and structure your thinking, or to look at photo gallery. Begin thinking of it as an extension of your brain instead of a bottomless anti-boredom device.
iOS "app library" has been a huge improvement to the iPhone experience for me for this reason. I don't keep any apps on the home screen anymore, just widgets for the weather, quick contact buttons, etc. (I also have a widget to show my 'Today' mailbox from Mail.app, but it never updates properly, so I'll probably get rid of that.)

For a long time I've had notifications turned off for all social media apps using their internal settings, but the newish "notification summary" feature has helped to cut down on noise from other apps that like to send stray notifications.
Well its irrelevant because the progress bar is content only and the scrollbar includes the comment section.

I never did a CS degree so much of the learning was decently useful but it also took me years
Google uses git. I used to sit next to Junio Hamano, the primary developer of git, and lots of teams that used my team's services were using git. Lots and lots of teams. There was even an extension to use git with google3, which was really nice, but was replaced with a system that used hg instead.

This is my understanding as well. I believe that they may even shut down at sea and run in on batteries/generators, which doubles as a way to test those systems. Refueling is quite the ordeal, so there is an incentive to minimize fuel depletion.
> Because nuclear plants are expensive, and they take a long time to build, financing their construction can also be a significant fraction of their cost, typically around 15-20% of the cost of the plant. For plants that have severe construction delays and/or have high financing costs (such as the Vogtle 3 and 4 plants in Georgia), this can be 50% of the cost or more.

This is why nuclear power plants should be state-sponsored projects. States typically have loans at 0% rate, or even negative interests.
pro and max are the same clock speeds as the base m1, just more 'performance' cores. m2 has faster core speed
I have a Synology NAS and I'm using their Drive app to access all my data everywhere. It can sync like Dropbox, though on my desktop PC I just mount the volume to ~/Documents.
Back in my private torrent site days when I had to maintain a good ratio I would run deluge on a seedbox and auto download and seed new releases. From my experience deluge was the only client that could saturate a 1gbit/s connection when seeding hundreds of different torrents.

However this was a long-time ago so things have probably changed since then.

PS: I also think deluge is a great name..

How about doing anything at all? I have an iPad 2 and an iPad mini sitting around that aren't useful at all. Just sitting there, collecting dust because I don't have the heart to chuck them.
From the paper's definitions, "predictable" or "unpredictable" is from the POV of an agent whose action will probably cause some effect (predictable) or might cause some effect (unpredictable). The affected lives are identified - eg names and faces - or statistical - anonymous members of some population. The paper takes the ethical POV that from a policy perspective all lives are equivalent, albeit the loss of different lives can have different consequence in terms of liability.

In terms of the relationship between the agent and the potentially affected, neither empathy or group identity is mentioned in the paper, but that would be interesting to look at elsewhere. Hypothetically, at what point does "the other" that you treating anonymously and categorically become specific and individual to you?
A naval reactor produces most of its power in direct steam propulsion and relatively little (~1/3rd) converted to electricity. I think the largest vessels can generate just 125MW which isn't much at all. The only beneficial use of a navy vessel as mobile infrastructure that I can recall is when the USS Carl Vinson was used to produce drinking water for Haiti after their earthquake.

Which DAWs use XML specifically? Haven't digged deep, but I never found any XML when dealing with any DAW.

Games don't use HTTP (or WebSockets, which I suppose you mean) for gameplay. Maybe for stats, lobbies or such, but gameplay networking mostly happens over UDP.
To your passage I would add the following brief excerpts (not for the sensitive):

"a system of monetary bribes"

"hours of blandishments, threats and promises"

"how sweet it was to bring that coffee to her, and then deny it until she had done her morning duty"
sscanf is essentially being used as a tokenizer for the JSON grammar, which means something like this:

{"foo": "bar"}

Is potentially turning into 5 different tokens:

{
"foo"
:
"bar"
}

After each token the "state" of sscanf is being discarded and each invocation of sscanf is independent. The API simply isn't descriptive enough to know that a string is immutable and hasn't been changed and there are certainly many valid use cases where one might be re-using the same char[] buffer with different contents.
“What the spill consists of is still not clear but it is not mineral oil [1] ...” the coastguard said in a statement.

This is oddly specific. I wonder if it is an English translation artifact, and the intended wording is:

“What the spill consists of is still not clear but it is not crude oil byproduct ...,” the coastguard said in a statement.

Are they saying that this is likely to be some sort of vegetable oil?

Make sure you read the article; the contents are not exactly the same as the title.
The ABA keeps a list of current litigation on election law. [1] Election law cases almost invariably come down to nobody wanting or being able to take responsibility. People are aware of issues, but the court cases take too long and the courts rule there is no remedy after the election, the plaintiffs suing have no standing, there is no remedy in law, since the legislature should oversee not the courts, etc. Yet, the legislatures do nothing but talk. Saying there isn't elections fraud all around is incorrect.

Also, you'll notice this is my first comment and you'll think I'm shilling, which is understandable. I felt the need to comment cuz I felt the same way. I was tired of reddit and discord groups.

I have high hopes for prefab modular systems. The same design approval covers 1000+ units, most designs fit on a flat-bed for transport, and instillations can scale up as needed.
this post is way too optimistic. you're implying the people making the decision that leetcode tests are used are competent enough to know they suck but still use them for the soft-factors you mention. I would bet essentially all of my money that instead they're simply incompetent and actually think these tests are good at testing ability.

that being said, everybody talks about like leetcode tests for a week straight is the norm. I've recently been through the whole thing with several big tech companies and some smaller companies, and all of them only used them for the phone screen.

in fact with microsoft for various reasons they skipped my phone screen and I went straight to onsite, and there was no leetcoding involved at all. still some whiteboard coding, but rather about highly specialized problems relevant to my field, none of this algorithm puzzle bullshit.
I'm talking about actually making reliably devices, not just satisfying regulations.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here. Medical devices are often safety critical. They need to work extremely reliably. That's obvious; I think I must have misunderstood your question sorry.
Software compatibility is quite good on MacOS for all but specific niches, like industrial software or PC gaming. The same criticism could be said for Windows or Linux, which is why things like Wine and WSL exist.

Absolutely false, in this case.

There is a much higher barrier to entry for combustion-engine vehicles than electric ones.

Combustion engines are far more complex, and much less about their workings is published outside of corporate walls.

For evidence, see the many greenfield electric startups entering the US market and the nearly zero combustion startups in the last 30 years.
Isn't that what parchive[1] and/or RAR recovery volumes were for?

> but all else being equal (ie: assuming total production cost stays constant), it’s better to have a larger fraction of your electricity costs be variable, so that if demand drops then production cost drops as well.

This is how capitalism gives us scarcity when there is no reason for scarcity. Infrastructure like trains and nuclear that absolutely swamps current demand, and whose costs cannot be adjusted very much (even if one can run fewer trains, remove some fuel rods) is good. But woe unto anyone that floods the market utopia-style under capitalism --- you will just get paid nothing and your investors will not repeat such a project again.
For deleted items, could you not store a memo of the object in addition to the user-local changes they did?

So if you undo a change to an object that was delete by a different user, you can restore that object first to the last known state, then apply the undo?

I'm not sure this makes sense for other cases besides object deletion.
We only included projected values of SPARC and ITER because they're the only ones whose physics basis has been published in the peer-reviewed literature. We would certainly like to include other devices - hopefully this will encourage more teams to publish results in the literature from which we can extract the required parameters.
> Depending on the use case, the state of features like user selection, user page selection, user zoom setting, etc. could be included in the undo/redo stack to provide a great experience.

Does anyone have an idea what these use cases could be? My mental model for undo/redo is based on productivity applications and I’m at a loss; I’m genuinely curious though since this is something I’ve been implementing.
+1 to Nextcloud. It works really well and you own the data completely.

Office document editing experience isn’t the best on mobile but I don’t use that feature anyway. Markdown editing works well.
The whole article does not provide any evidence or explanation to support the claim that "we cannot adapt".

> "counting on adaptation to limit damage is no substitute for urgently cutting greenhouse gases, a leading climate scientist has warned."

I don't think anyone claimed that it was a substitute.

It all seems like a setup to bring up Stuart Kirk's now notorious speech and to attack him.
No it’s totally right. Going in cold is basically impossible. You have to be ready to regurgitate leetcode answers, “approved” system designs, STAR stories about your career that show various BS story arcs. And of course pretend like you’re not just regurgitating for… reasons. It’s all a bizarre cargo cult acting session at this point.

Other competing services gave you 2-5MB, which was so low that the standard thing to do was to delete email after you read it.

You've hit the nail on the head. The problem is not the phone, it's unlimited internet. You can waste almost as much time on a laptop with unlimited internet as on a smartphone. OTOH, it's pretty hard to get into unhealthy smartphone usage without (or with serverly rationed) internet access.

I am so stoked on these recent developments. I have piles of useless iPhones and I know people that have huge stashes. I can't wait to waste months trying to get the lidar working on something. It really disgusts me that old phones are bricked. Getting a high powered SBC with an actual 5G modem alone is amazing.
At this point I would say your incorrect. The e-ink is acting as a temporal low pass filter, for the desired signal that is the brightness of that pixel. Perhaps you’re thinking of a spatial low pass filter?
This was one of the primary reasons I ended up going with Keycloak, it's "batteries included" as far as UI goes.

UI for management, impersonation, configuration, etc... with RBAC, end-user UI for account preferences, profile, login, password reset, etc... all customizable/themeable.

With the switch to quarkus, is has a much more "single binary" feel and is very easy to deploy / configure.

The Lowball
I've had very different risk appetites during the trajectory of my career. Early on, I was okay with taking roles in teams and companies that may not have been a surefire thing because I basically only needed to make rent and feed myself. Now that I have mouths to feed and a mortgage to pay, I have far risk appetite.

I've been in a large company now for a few years (watching my peers capture huge salaries in the interim) and there are trade-offs these folks should be aware of. You're going to find far more ingrained politics and baggage. Your opportunity to make waves (positively) is limited. You really have to sharpen diplomatic skills to navigate the sheer quantity of siloed team structures. It can be quite a jarring transition for folks used to moving faster.
