As someone who has "rolled his own crypto" for various reasons, I was just wondering why you're saying this:

> 2) Strong knowledge of computer architecture

Is it so we can do performant things? Avoid side-channel attacks? Computer architecture isn't focal in my thinking when I'm working on cryptography. Very rarely it becomes important (I could leak information because of ... or boy, that is branch heavy and isn't going to be fast ...)
The Baltimore Banner's first few stories have been absolutely amazing.
I've absolutely seen it, so it's not a myth.

I worked for a large company (>£50bn revenue) that used to do this in the UK - I had to sign off the 'savings' my procurement stakeholders achieved on the projects (you had to 'agree' their savings and sign them off) because that would go into their performance reports which then triggered their bonus. So it happens.

What else do you think procurement teams get targeted on if not savings/price decreases?

So what do procurement teams hate? Things purchased from a single supplier, with no competition/accepted substitute, and no/little ability to negotiate the price or payment terms.

The former feels like you’re doing something to immediate effect. The latter is invisible, both the solution and the problem, until it’s too late.

I don’t think it’s a uniquely American trait.
And at the same time, when you inevitably fail at the unfailing part, apologize to them and then just try to do better. Strive for unfailing, but also understand that you'll never achieve it while yet we are but mortal flesh.

I think this depends on industry. The last time I went to Home Depot or Lowes to pick up wood screws, I don’t remember seeing Torx at all, but the square drives (Robertson) are.
This gold rush started -at least for my generation- with the App Store.

The reach of the internet is so great that even simple ideas are still raking in thousands of dollars per month.

I remember sitting at a dinner table with new acquaintances, and my -now ex- girlfriend saying it’s baffling how seemingly simple apps [1] even make any money. They were making twice her monthly salary at the time :D

Yes, let's compare CPUs that took literally decades to mature and there are a handful of companies that can design and manufacture them to K8s.

We don't want to run k8s from scratch? Let's buy the managed version in the cloud?

It sounds like an argument for containers.

I mean, at that point why not use a simpler abstraction, like a VM. Or just use functions.
> In contrast, pensioners have more than enough free time to read the news and vote

Not with that attitude. I'm reading a newspaper since I was 14. If they don't make time to read a newspaper, they're just not interested. Don't try to sugarcoat it with some pointless victimization.
It unpleasant to watch journalists who were screaming every day that the guy is tearing apart almost every US institution and irrecoverably destroys this country, with the ultimate goal of him staying in power.

The journalists have seen these stories from other failed states, and they cannot unsee the similarities. And they were right. Just take a look at the proceedings of the Jan 6th committee. If it was not a dozen of people in the correct roles (mostly Republicans), on Jan 6th, he could had indeed achieved his goal.

I totally agree. I once broke off a relationship because she was very clear about not wanting kids. I did want kids. I was madly in love otherwise, but I just couldn't see this working.

Also she smoked. It was clearly a relationship where my emotions conflicted with any sense of reason.

You seem shocked that these two things could be true at the same time, when they are often true at the same time.
Assuming that this guide is aimed at people entirely unfamiliar with these concepts, I think it fails to explain the concept. Yes, it is plain English, but it is not simple or common English, and it's mostly code examples. I'm familiar with the concepts, but not fluent, and functional programming jargon I already knew is not clearer to me now than it was before I read it.

Good sample code, though. It only required me to look up a handful of things I wasn't already familiar with.

Not if takes at least 45 minutes to get to the airport, plus 1-2 hours waiting to board, plus 20-30 minutes to leave the plane and yet another 45 minutes to get to your destination. The 1-hour flight just became a 4-5 hour journey, full of stress and discomfort.

>It doesn't take a complicated renderer to make a usable browser.

99.9% of front end web developers and back-end as well won't even know how to begin to do this in C or C++. Nowadays to even build a trivial renderer in C or C++ using vulkan is not something someone can pull up a tutorial for and learn. Not like React or Vue or even some backend framework.

>I don't think it's pointless at all. If advanced pure web dev is relatively less complicated ,even at the highest levels, then it's important to define where the line ends and begins

You accomplish nothing with this other then to put one set of developers in a stupid bucket and another set in a smart bucket. These buckets are real but specifying and talking about the bucket only pisses people off. Additionally the line is very complicated and has several dimensions and in many areas the line is not a line, but a gradient.

You'd only be aware of of this dichotomy if you worked outside of web development (and not in datascience).
Distributed OS hides distributed nature from the application. Kubernetes does not try to hide it. It allows developer to embrace it. Hiding network latency is leaky abstraction. Kubernetes does it right. It does not pretend that there's no network between your services. It's the other way around: there's always network between your services. Sometimes it's loopback network, sometimes it's real network, but you're aware of it.

> staying compatible with the almost 45 year old CISC instruction set

It's easy to take for granted how unusual it was the WinTel hegemony happened at all. As a fan of the breathtaking diversity of classic 80s desktop computing (Amiga, Atari, C64, Spectrum, MSX, etc), I lamented the steamroller of WinTel beige-box homogenization as it paved over so many divergent evolutionary branches. Yet the fact I can still install and run mass market consumer software products released in the mid-90s on Windows 11.

Yes, a high price was paid in both silicon and OS software to sustain such extraordinary backward compatibility - and is still being paid. While the utility of running circa-Win 95 software today in minimal, it's pretty amazing and I think the underlying stability in APIs, user interfaces and peripheral interfaces had under-appreciated positive impacts on the rapid prolife ation of desktop computing across society. Remember that the landline phone and cable companies initially envisioned the "home computer" to a be little more than a dumb terminal consumers would rent like a telephone handset. We're fortunate that vision failed when the commoditization of PCs allowed the home "internet terminal" to be a full user-owned and controlled computer with significant local processing and storage.
There are people who read every story they encounter through a political lens and judge every person based on how likely they are to be a political ally or enemy (without even knowing for sure... just stereotyping them).

It's a form of intellectual dishonesty, where the only thing that matters is someone's political beliefs and simply switching the paticipants would yield a different opinion.
It's not that I say 50ft is the only zone, but its my main focus, that and traffic around me (Mind you, this is all highway) With the Comma, it moves out a good bit, Allowing me to process more of the future traffic going on and the more edge cases that might come up at highway speeds. Also its vision and radar based so it keeps me 250ft+ from the car in front of me and keeps speed, it won't ever change lanes. This is why its more of a LKAS with better settings.

Of course there are cases the system doesn't work at all and is not well suited for surface roads very well.

Its behavior is very predictable and easy to feel when its seeing something I'm not. (Slowing down to match speed 1:1 with the car in front of me when they let off the gas is a common example)
There's a reason Mitt Romney and Donald Trump are members of the same party (and Mitt Romney considered Trump's endorsement key in 2012). There's also a reason that Vladimir Putin considered it relevant to his interests to tip the scales to their party in 2016.
Exactly. There definitely are some scary Youtube videos, but how do you ban something that's apparently safer [0] than the average road user?

As far as I'm aware, there have been zero fatal FSD beta crashes. I hope it'll stay that way.

What would be your arguments as the governing body for a ban? I think you'd need some hard statistical evidence, random Youtube videos might not count.

* That they're not "blank slates". I thought that personalities were imposed by the parents, but that's not (on the whole) true.

* Don't smack 'em. The only purpose it serves is to assuage your rage. You don't have to use violence to teach kids about hot cookers and electrical sockets.

* Don't expect them to be like you. They won't; and especially as they enter their teens, they'll do their damnedest to be unlike you. That's supposed to happen, it's normal and good.

* Cook for them. Kids get to like what their parents feed them; if you can get them to like what you like, then you get to eat what you like, AND they'll be pleased as well.
That argument would work much better if corporations weren't explicitly designated legal persons for various purposes related to contracts and liability.
This totally worked for 737 MAX. This one doesn't even have a well defined algorithm so it's behavior can be predicted ahead of time.
And yet this subthread is filled with several people who have yet a 3rd (maybe even a 4th) interpretation. I don't dispute that yours could be the intended one, but let's not pretend that it's completely clear.
And assuming I am "confident that the existing system is maximally good" is equally as bad of footing to begin a discussion. I think nothing of the sort.
Yet no mention of Operation Mockingbird!
I just get a blank page on firefox.
> In fact, the MCAS exists because without it the MAX would be 100% uncertifiable for commercial flight.

My understanding is that they had to change some things about the plane due to efficiency regulations, which should have resulted in a new plane which would require flight lessons. They kept the things that they had to to escape FAA definitions of "different plane" and MCAS made the resulting monstrosity airworthy. If, so we are back to MCAS being a "737 emulator" required by SWA's mandate to receive the exact same airplane for all eternity.

Not that this is an excuse.
This was the sentence that convinced me it's talking about something being special about small towns: And the most unusual thing about all this is: None of this is unusual. At least not within the national tapestry that is The Great American Small Town.

The author blogs pretty much exclusively on the cultural tapestry of the South.

> and the author argues that this is universal in America-

I see a comment arguing that, but not by the author.
This young fellow is why computing should be accessible everywhere. How many more wunderkinds are we missing out on and failing who may be wallowing in poverty or suffering elsewhere in the world?
There are ways to get that sort of return legally, but you need a lot of collateral and a strong stomach for risk. Basically leverage hard and invest in something risky - you multiply the return (which should be good already) but also multiply the risk.

If you know what you are doing and have luck you can make very high returns.

Mostly people don't know what they are doing though and get into big trouble.

Since I am unable to reply to the other flagged/dead comments, I'll add here that the book itself (in the intro. materials and the last chapter) says how one can determine for oneself if it is, in fact, what it says it is, and receive an answer from God. Thus the question becomes not a matter to debate harshly (which has been done enough already), but one of individual knowledge and conscience. I can't prove it to someone else, but it has been satisfactorily proven to me, about which I have written elsewhere at some length.
1. Ok

2. Yes revolution is bad, violent, and dark times in the short term. More of an argument to reform our current system rather than listen to romantic ideas of ditching capitalism as a whole.
>> With all its problems, social media has proven over and over to be a far more useful tool for communities.

I just LOVE how you proclaim this, without first seeing (a) the cosequences of social media (good or bad) 30+ years from now, and (b) whatever disrupts current social media next.
I think you're probably right, by and large. The trick, then, is to get as many rolls of the dice as is possible, and to recognize as early as possible whether you've won or lost. If you've lost, cut your losses and roll again, if you've won double down and cling on for dear life.

While simple, this is not an easy call to make, I imagine.

It doesn’t take that long to cook more meat as long as the grills haven’t been taken down for cleaning. During rush hour they are doing way more volume than that, it’s just the staging cabinets are in between someone who is cooking meat and someone who is assembling product. Chicken nuggets and chicken paddies are much slower to cook, 4 minutes or so rather than 30 seconds it takes to cook a run of 10 to 1 meat.
The best approach remains to know the right people who can tell you about which doctors are good. Or as the kids call it,"networking". E.g. my dentist (an exceptionally good and professional woman) is someone I know because she's friends with the wife of a colleague of a girl I went to high school with. I hope that the new health platforms that are springing up will lead to knowledge of which doctors are worth their pay being easier to access and spread.

The thing about the CD medium is that generally the cheapest player sounds identical to the most expensive. It’s more about what outputs and such you need. Newer ones (2000+) may have better buffering and tolerance to scratches/etc.

Sure, but since they've moved into an entirely different class of device, I don't think the A<n> series establishes a very useful baseline. I mean, scaling the phone/tablet type chip up to laptop/desktop class must have made them bump into some bottlenecks that previously looked infinitely wide. Depending on how difficult those bottlenecks are to clear, we could see some years with quick progress, some years with not so much.

If you complain about the quality of discussion, the onus is on you to be better. But, you are not better, or even as good. My original "important" was more accurate than your criticism taking it as an example of unfair dialog and, supposedly, correcting it.

But you do prove your point: discussion of the topic was here, with your comments, overall only a little better than your own contribution. Without, though, substantially better.

Can't count how many times the people saying this live in rural areas that have, per capita, higher violent crime rates than Chicago.

Romney's right, but incomplete. Our current problems are made cataclysmic by our also becoming unable to function anymore except by groupthink.

I think our lifeblood is not tribalism — we aren't that alike to divide into only two tribes — I think the real problem is fear. We've allowed ourselves (and the past 30 years of childrearing) to be overwhelmed by it and now can't function without assurance: being in a crowd of others — the most basic form of security known to animalkind — safety in numbers. The result of that now, intellectually, is we simply refuse to entertain ideas or arguments not already endorsed by others. So we cleave to whatever 'gang' is handy, never mind how dysfunctional their agenda or ideas or rationales are.

The hallmark of our times is the death of the individual.
Markets may stay irrational longer that you can whatever.

To me markets look like evolution processes: there's definitely a vector towards better efficiency, better "fitness", but the trajectory is more like a random walk than a targeted shot.

With that, markets fail, but all highly-planned regimes have historically failed even worse.

What I take from this is that one should not emotionally invest in a business, and not make a serious business out of things that one has emotionally invested in. Be curious, try things and see if they work. Many of the best-looking of them won't; some of the sillies of them will.

Language independence is a trait of k8s in the sense that none of its interfaces are in any way specific to a language - the most restrictive in that are the few APIs that are based on gRPC, because state of gRPC libraries is still poor in some places.

Unless you want to embed another language in-process of some k8s components, but the need to do that is disappearing as things are moved out of process.
Good overview, but missing any discussion (that I could see) of how non-SCHED_OTHER scheduling classes (such as SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR) interact with "normal" scheduling. The rules described here (e.g. "the task that has run least runs next") do not apply to tasks in these scheduling classes.
