> but I think this is just the cost of the incredible volume of software that we have

This may obviously be a personal stance, but I will never accept the excuse of scale for anything. If you can't do it at scale, then you can't do it. Quit scaling and making everything worse. This applies to software, population, consumerism, consumption, etc.
You're absolutely right to ask why, and the reasons you give do drive the difficulties here.

Although I'm fairly technical, I think I have a fair understanding of those in the non-technical camp due to my background and general experience, but I sense I sometimes expect too much of the average person (not meaning this to sound superior!)

Improving bug submission is worth consideration because there's value to be unlocked: the people in need of a solution have insights the developers etc benefit from and they themselves would benefit (one hopes!) from the solution but there's a good chance it could apply for others too.

From the little I've read about behavioural science, i suspect that a selection of nudges may help but it could take time and perseverance to get it right. There are little tricks that Github and SO already use to shift things the right way. It's important to base these on how they'd work for target users, as designing them for how people who design such systems or already have well developed problem solving serves no one and will fail! It's also important not to be overly Draconian or pushy (keeping the nudges reasonable) seems important too, and the smartest ones probably lead people on to better submissions as much as block bad ones, the earlier the better (no one wants to fill in some onerous form only to be told off by a computer!)
This document is useless. It lacks any of the normal features needed to inspire professionalism or to be considered a relevant financial document. If it is being released to fulfill some form of regulatory it most likely isn't meeting standards.

There is no dated periods, no document title, some expense categories have had category names changed over time but same amounts (this fact taken when considering costs only rise over time). No budget, no last updated, and no actuals, no responsible party listed (not even the auditor).

If there are factual inaccuracies in the released document, this could be considered a form of fraud in some jurisdictions.
After Hangouts died (yeah it's still Google Chat now but it's not the multi-function tool it used to be before they chopped it up to announce a piece is migrating to Chat) I switched to Signal. If I were to do that transition all over again I would do Telegram instead.

Signal sounds nice but it's a bit overbearing - backups are somewhere between difficult to impossible depending on the device, there is no web client, and it's only open source in that you can audit source or run your own independent chat network (3rd party clients on the official server are treated as hostile) not as in it's an open community. Despite all of this kind of stuff being defended for contrived hyper-secure hyper-private reasoning you can't send a chat without giving out your phone number and it's ridiculously easy to cause your verification number to change making people numb to all of the protection in the first place.

I did grab a Telegram account recently but only since Beeper supported it and I figured "why not" so I'm missing out on these features but I almost wonder if I would have even been so excited about new things like Beeper had I went Telegram originally.

Interestingly of all the chat apps WhatsApp and Telegram usage seemed to align heavily. Not sure if that was just a quirk of my friend group or a more general thing.
The login screen was too complicated for you, eh?
Just to clarify - this is Solana, which is and always has been big vc funded and controlled.

That might be true, but your reputation is at stake as well. For the same reason that you might wear a suit to an important meeting, you might also take steps to ensure that your video and audio quality are presentable when you're having an important meeting virtually. (Of course, once you've paid the cost for that, you can just do a good job for all meetings. Much easier than a trip to the dry cleaners.)
I have the Lumina! I think the hardware has been pretty good from the very start when I got it about a year ago. The software originally was... not very good, but you guys have improved it by leaps and bounds over time. I still have to manually adjust the exposure (which is fine), and fiddle with settings to get the colors right, but it works better than any webcam I have so far. Keep up the good work.
I don't find them hard to understand, at least to a certain depth of understanding - but deep enough that I get a lot of value out of them, far more than news articles.

On the other hand, Avicenna claimed to have read Aristotle's Metaphysics 40 times before Avicenna could understand it. So it's not a new problem!

> if you just fix the damned lighting?

How do I add a new window to my apartment??

Yes, all cameras look good with great natural light. That's not particularly interesting or useful, because we're not always in perfect lighting to compensate for mediocre cameras that've stagnated for 10 years.
specially if the "bad" pixels are noise that consume most of the bitrate without carrying information.

5 quarts (4.7 liters) is common size. Yes, it's cheap. But not usually very good quality, though.
Scotland would make a good tax haven since it has a relatively small, homogeneous, and centralised population.
It would be so great if we could write mathematical expressions such as

Oh that "This update is being rolled out gradually" refers to the payment becoming available? I thought it was about the text it belongs with, speaking of "over 100 fixes and optimizations" and other stuff, and that the subscription was available now (since "Today we're launching <star> Telegram Premium" in bold up top). Confusing, but thanks for the reply!
In our system of justice, even a werewolf is entitled to legal representation.

NFT is just an URL pointing to CDN (or even S3) stored on the ledger, how one can "lose" it?
Surely you recognize that we had services that could talk to each other before k8s existed? And therefore all of the things you point to are solved problems and don't require k8s in any way, shape, or form?

Like, if I'm configuring the foo service and it needs to know how to contact the bar service... that's not a problem? I just put bar-service-lb.mycompany.net in a config file and I'm done. I don't understand why people think they need complex "service discovery". Just give things names!

My cloud provider (or heaven forbid, wires in a data center! gasp!) already gives me perfectly good networking. Why layer anything on top of that?

No one really needs "ingress". Your server program can listen on a port! Like we've been doing for 50 years! This is a completely self-inflicted problem.

It's so depressing seeing the k8s generation completely forget the highly effective ways that we used to do things. All those things are still possible! You can choose to design, build, and run a simple system if you want to!

DMs work just fine. I use both Discord and Telegram btw :)

"Gamery" features like voice calls, video calls, videostreaming an application or videostreaming your desktop?? :D

Servers where you can talk/do/post whatever? And just drop in?

Now I use both but Telegram feels more like Whatsapp to me with 1 to 1 convos and Discord is more of the Teamspeak/Mumble philosophy where its a voice room/server.
If you lost less than .1% of your muscle mass that's abnormal. There are 100s of studies on people losing weight and they almost all lose some amount of muscle mass.
Easy solution; use Fujifilm. We both agree they don't overheat. Incidentally, I think they are also much better cameras for most use cases.
I always wondered how feasible it is to analyze whatsapp network traffic to test their claims.

I temporarily lost part of hearing, too. Happend to me after casually biking in a fasted state after attempting a short but steep climb. When I was at the top, I made a break just to start getting into this bonk state rather slowly over the next approximately 5 minutes. I was still standing all the time not becoming unconscious. I thought of having a stroke or something. Scariest moment of my life so far.
Completely agree, this is the old adage: "Garbage in, garbage out". Improving the data the sensor collects is surely much easier than using ML models to correct after the fact. The people willing to pay a premium for nice big lenses/sensors are the market to go after, everybody else won't care since they already feel their current set up is good enough.
Yes, indeed.

I do like both the Telegram and Discord clients. I use both myself.
The EMS notation looks exactly like the language and compiler Hal Laning made for the Whirlwind in the '50s, which was the first compiler ever, anywhere.

Hal Laning was also personally responsible for Apollo 11 not crashing and exploding when operator error caused overloading of the Apollo Guidance Computer, resulting in system crashes several times during the landing. It reset, each time, and picked up the high-priority processes where they left off.

Laning was every year passed over for the Turing Award he so richly deserved.
So is PGP...
Interesting you should mention about submitting details like app version number, OS version etc.

Although it's not within an app, and only partially automated, i tried building a tool to help people gather Python environment details etc to help them create richer Github issues with less effort: https://github.com/nmstoker/gatherup

The demo video needs work to explain it better and as a project it didn't really go anywhere but it was interesting to work on a few years back.
Another messaging platform is unrelated?
I know it's a losing battle, but I'm going to tilt at this particular pedantic windmill.

Not all financial scams are Ponzi schemes. Most are not. Ponzi schemes involve the operator deceptively using incoming funds to pay out early investors. Ponzi schemes are based on deceptive manipulation of cash flow not on price appreciation.

If Bitcoin were an actual scam (and I'm not saying it is is) it would be a pump-and-dump. Most ICOs and shit-coins are clear pump-and-dumps.

There is a huge variety of financial scams, and it would be a fiscally safer world if more people knew about them and could discuss them.
The question there would be, it has that advantage but at what cost?

I'm not incredibly familiar with sixels, but my basic understanding is that they're in a format that was convenient for use with dot matrix printers and were later adapted to terminal use with color support and such. This means that interacting with them is not going to be straightforward for developers familiar with any sort of modern graphics APIs on either the software or terminal ends.

If the main advantage is compatibility with old terminals that only really matter to a niche subset of retrocomputer enthusiasts I'd argue that any efforts to add graphics to the Linux terminal should be focused on a more modern design such as the base64-encoded images supported by a few terminals.
People do value that, and they also value a great UX, which Matrix also has. Additionally, matrix, doesn't forcefully associate your plaintext account with your phone number! People with a clue value that.
> And if you do use containers, how do you feel about the benefits of orchestrating them

Why would I need that?

A container is just a fancy executable. No one ever talked about "executable orchestration". Container orchestration does not need to be a thing.

If you need anything more complex than `docker run` you are either extremely large and this whole discussion is irrelevant, or you need to question your life choices.
Colored coins is one of my #1 favorite topics! The same issue (high fees) that plagued ETH would soon arise if doing "Colored Coins" for NFTs on BTC. Regardless, this could certainly be done. Colored coins was actually one of the 1st concepts that seriously drew my interest to this space.

One might think Lightning Network would be a good solution, but LN is fungible, so that wouldn't work.

Still, colored coins is an awesome concept and I'm planning to help with at least 1 use-case (fingers crossed!) in the next few months.
> but for most smaller sites you're trusting someone to host it, so how is Cloudflare any different than some other random provider

Easy - you’re trusting someone, true, but it’s likely not the same person that someone else is trusting.

With Cloudflare, pretty much everyone is trusting the same party. Compromising Cloudflare compromises everyone.
I've been looking at Talos for almost a year now. I love the fact there is no shell, each machine is just a K8s node. It seems wonderful, but I can not get it to install. A friend has has the exact same experience, he finally went with Ubuntu and k3s. Has anyone successfully installed it?
Oh this is good to know. I would recommend asking the recruiter directly if you passed HC.

For borderline candidates what they do is wait until a hiring manager is interested in your profile before moving to HC. They do this because if a hiring manager already wants you on their team, then your chance of passing HC increases.

In any case I think the plan would be the same to reach out to hiring managers and see who shows interest. I'd also ask any friends you have at Google if there are teams hiring at your level. It will be easier if you're experienced hire (L4 or higher)
Nah, they do help the folks who don't know about it.

whale has put up $170M of SOL and borrowed $100M of USD. that USD was supplied by other people on Solend who expect to be repaid. “liquidation” is a way to ensure those lenders are repaid: if the borrower no longer has enough collateral to be incentivized to pay back the loan — or rather before that happens — liquidators will recover the lenders’ money by seizing the borrower’s collateral, selling it on the market, and returning the USD proceeds to the lenders.

the worry about SOL price drop is: can this $170M of SOL really be sold to make the lenders whole of their $100M USD? or will SOL significantly drop as that trade is executed and the lenders can only recover (say) half that?

most lending platforms place a cap on the total amount of each type of collateral they’ll accept — in large part to protect against these liquidation scenarios. it looks like there’s worry that Solend was too lax with their cap.
Just FTR for the active speaker Zoom streams heavily compressed 720p that goes up to 1080p if HD is enabled. It’s low bitrate but still makes a difference in clarity.
Thank you, duly noted.
I also worked in insurance technology on the first point you've mentioned. Most of what I was trying to do was implementing the business logic of a worker's comp company that was attempting to optimize risk across different states, and comply with what regulators permitted.

It was all in excel and just needed to be ported to something more modern and future proof.
That conveys my own experience exceptionally well. IME, it's the same bicycling within cities, where you live or as a visitor. I know those places and their people so much better now.
> computers and in particular phones and tablets have partially destroyed my attention span

Right on. That and the constant, never ending polling for information that comes with it leaves you with no downtime and a very worn out feeling. We need downtime throughout the day - pick up a task, do it, put it down and do nothing for a while before switching to another. Without that you can't focus and that leads to irritation which makes things worse.
What conservative 'way of thinking' do people get kicked off of social media for?
I will say this about the car license argument... A car license is not a right. It isn't codified in the constitution as something we are guaranteed, like voting. That brings me to stories like this:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/getting-a...

I don't view car licenses and the right to own a firearm on the same fundamental level, neither do many/most Americans. It has to do with what we view as our fundamental rights vs. what other countries of the world view as their rights. We feel the same way about speech, which isn't the same in a lot of countries, for better or worse. Both of these fundamental rights and the viewpoints they bring do cut both ways in action and attitude. I can see that.

The majority of dissent in America in views on guns is the urban population vs. the rural population (this is actually the similar in Canada, if you look at the difference in views on hunting and gun ownership, just like in America - even though their gun violence is a fraction of ours).

Most concerning is Gatekeeper, as I do still routinely run into scenarios where it harassess me about applications I am trying to run and on the odd occasion I have to manually codesign things.

It will be super annoying if this now starts making developer's life hell because it is nannying binaries they are building, sharing or working with as part of their development work.
Autopilot for air is probably far easier. Take off, land, fly straight.

Begin listing the functions for autonomous car. I’ll wait.
Programming is mostly copy/pasting from stack overflow and example codes. (if you write documentation make sure to have great examples). Then there are software libraries for about everything, and compilers do the optimization for us.

You only learn stuff (become a good programmer) if you are forced to. Examples when you learn is when debugging, or working with constrained resources, you are forced to optimize or scale up, your service goes down, data gets corrupted, you are getting hacked, etc.
> Its not Solend's problem.

Right, that's my confusion. Which is what makes the whole thing smell fishy.
Not if they're compiled by separate invocations of the compiler. If a.cpp and b.cpp both have a vector<string> and are compiled independently, the first tool that actually gets to see them both is likely a linker (or archiver but that's a glorified zip tool)
Well, not all of us can be Gaston. Most people cannot do that regularly without feeling full much sooner, and even you are better served eating those eggs than trying to feel full from massive quantities of starches.

Obviously you should find a color temperature that works for your setting, but in general, warm is a safer bet for preserving skin tones unless you are actively fighting daylight bulbs in the room.

Since warmer tones tend to be safer, I recommend it in the absence of more specifics about the environment. But you’re right, it’s not always the best fit.

Here in New England, we judge a town by how easy it is to get good ice cream (not from the market). We eat it year-round, even when it's snowing. In NH, we pour maple syrup on snow and eat that, also.

Most ice cream is too sweet - vanilla and pistachio are good choices.
I despise Team Xecuter for a number of reasons, but these two exploits aren't necessarily comparable. The Playstation vuln in question would allow people to create pirated Blu-Ray disks that work as-expected on vanilla PS5 models. TX created a custom firmware that required hardmodding your Switch to persist. Nintendo couldn't really wring out TX without proving that their damages went beyond just the owners of hacked Switch consoles, which it certainly didn't. In Sony's case, they could probably sue pretty hard if people started selling pirated or counterfeit PS5 games, since every PS5 owner is effected.

IANAL, but I think you have to keep the scope of the damages in consideration.
There are still new controllers for retro consoles (like the NES, SNES, Genesis) that used traditional serial or parallel ports being manufactured. I just bought a newly made SNES mouse, in fact.

I'm not aware of a similar market for retro PC controllers, but I do know people who've modded PC fightsticks (note: not flightsticks) to the neogeo-style game port for use with arcade boards.
We all jiggle a bit as we rarely have time to work through APIs and their dependencies down to the sand used to make the chips.

Though I'd agree that no engineers should be copying code without understanding its intent and interfaces.
- Have you proven the market? (how many people have you talked with? is the pain point big enough that they are willing to pay? how many in the waiting list?)

- Do you have a right to play? (do you have experience in the field that not many people do, etc)

- Are you passionate about the problem?

If you check all 3 then you're in a good position I would say.
The guy also developed quite a bunch of useful low-level software—he and Rinnegatamante basically carry the homebrew/jailbreak community for Vita, at least lately.

Meanwhile, his twitter says ‘Security Engineer @ Google’.

Bit weird that he didn't turn this into a jailbreak for PS5, though. But perhaps I'm missing something about PS5's firmware update scheme.
