The ugh!: You will be a tiny cog in a big machine, spending very little time writing code, mostly banging your head over someone else's bugs. And M$FT still has a certain stink to it these days and that may cling to you.
In Dutch it's even more sane, the alphabet just goes V = vee, W = wee.
Very true, I was thinking they should remove the dependency on it.
Yes, except some people don't want to be dependent on luck, but just want to produce great stuff regardless of what people think of it.

To pick one extreme example: did Einstein (want to) depend on luck?
What pendantry is this? The only thing that you could take away from OP's comment is that they made a metaphor, and since you can make a metaphor about anything, the chosen metaphor says nothing?

That's like saying, well, you can use words to construct a lie, therefore, all words are untrustworthy.

He's saying that k8s can be powerful, but that that power can be destructive if not wielded correctly.

Personally? k8s is powerful. But you need a team to manage it, and if you're the poor sob who wants to write software but gets stuck managing k8s (due to its complexity) half the time, you're not going to be very happy.
I learned about it on a BBC documentary about the Black Death I saw a few years back. I'm about to run out the door so I haven't the time to properly figure out which one and see what paper they were citing. But I remember it was a French university that did the genetic tests, IIRC.

The data which fit that theory better came from London and some city in Scotland (Glasgow? I'm not sure.) Basically there were houses which shared gardens (where rats would live) but the disease didn't spread between the two houses. Likewise in London there was a poor district that got hit hard, and a rich district next door that saw very few infections. Due to the way the sewers were laid out, the rat population was the same between the two. But the lice wouldn't have transferred without close contact, which of course rarely happened between rich and poor.

The more damning evidence was out of Scotland where the doctor making a very detailed study showed that the disease only transferred between people who shared close living quarters. And in particular, during a lockdown with all-day curfew it didn't transmit at all. But where beds were reused, the new inhabitants got sick.

But the genetic evidence sealed the deal. I'll have to look up that French study later.

I think there is more potential in artist specific ones like BTS heardle. Much smaller bank of songs and more passionate fans.

Let's apply that same reasoning on a different scale.

Rome violently occupied most of Europe and forced its culture on to those peoples. Therefore, most Europeans may eat as much pizza as they like. But if an Italian so much as looks at a croissant or wears pants, they've done A Cultural Appropriation.

Seems sensible to me!
> That's because it really isn't.

What's a "country"? You are talking about "sovereign state"–whether or not Taiwan counts as one, or could, depends on which theory of statehood one supports (constitutive or declarative)–but something can be a "country" without being a sovereign state. The ISO 3166-1 list is officially of countries and "dependent territories", but many people talk of those "dependent territories" (especially the more major ones) as "countries". And then people commonly speak of the constituent countries of the UK (England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales) as "countries" – seems particularly common in British English (and more British-influenced English varieties), but one even hears Americans speak of them in that way at times. Fewer people know this, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands is divided into four constituent countries as well (the Netherlands proper – which includes both the European part and the Caribbean islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, Saba; Aruba; Curaçao; and Sint Maarten). Similarly, the Kingdom of Denmark is also divided into three countries – Denmark proper, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland. And one of France's overseas territories, French Polynesia, is officially classified under French law as an "overseas country" of France. Canada officially recognises Quebec, not as a "country", but as a "nation" (a term which is often used interchangeably with "country").

> Contrast this with Kosovo who claim to be an independent country and are somewhat recognised.

Kosovo is recognised by about 50% of the world's states, including all of the G7 states. They've also been accepted as members of several intergovernmental organisations, including the World Bank and IMF. And yet, unlike Taiwan, ISO still won't give them an official country code - ISO gives the reason that they won't give them a code until the UN Statistical Division gives them a code, and I guess the UN Statistical Division sees it as a political hot potato they don't want to touch.
Yeah, I must be getting old. The whole "super hero" thing never resonated with me — not even as comic books. I'm okay with full-on fantasy like "Lord of the Rings" but this real-world + magic thing always felt ... disingenuous?
Researchers face wait for patient level data from Pfizer and Moderna trials
Microsoft is a friggin dumpster fire, dude. Some teams are great to work for, but a LOT of them are little crews of treacherous rogues who're only looking out for themselves and always ready to stab someone in the back.

You'll run into a lot of the same issues on the Windows kernel that you're getting irritated with in service development land. A lot of infrastructure is already out there, but figuring out how to use it effectively ends up being almost as much work as just rewriting it from scratch. Things are documented but poorly.

For Microsoft specifically you'll often get stuck because of problems with some other team's code, and then find yourself embroiled in multi-week battles with multiple engineers, managers, project managers, and product managers all at each other's throats.

All that said, the Windows kernel itself is a work of art IMO, and kernel development is a lot of fun. I think that if you want to make the big bucks but still work with c/c++, it's getting to the point where your choices are very limited: Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, or Tableau.

Microsoft was terrible to work for, but they aren't as bad as a bad small company. At least there's HR to report gross violations to, they have a TON of great perks, the money is really good, they have good work-life balance, and it's not too hard to change teams (but if you find yourself wanting to jump to a different team, do it well before performance reviews come along, since your manager will definitely give you a bad review and hamstring your ability to move around within the company.. so you'll end up having to change companies. Not the worst thing if you do so, I guess)

EDIT: I just reread your list of complaints.. timing and consistency in the kernel are WAY more complicated than your average web services. There's also a ludicrous amount of red tape around getting anything done. I'm starting to think that you should look at Microsoft as a stepping stone in your career rather than its final destination.. it's still a good place to work for overall compared to random small companies, it'll give a boost to your resume, but it sounds like what you actually want to work on is game emulators or raspi home automation gizmos in your free time.
An ironic one seen was a black person stopping and scolding a white person for wearing dreadlocks as some sort of cultural theft, but she herself was wearing a Scottish weave sweater and speaking English.
> generations do not properly appreciate the art from their own time, either because they can’t or they are too focused on their own personal vision of what art should be

In this case it seems to be the art acquiring meaning from its successors.
i think it's more impressive you were able to land a job in such a vastly different ecosystem. what's your trick against being pigeon-holed?
Nice. The camera app on Windows can scan the code. But the link does not work. Rickrolling was more fun when there was no ads btw.
Gerrymandering is a term best used to refer to the drawing of electoral boundaries for partisan advantage, and thus isn't really relevant to UKIP's under-representation in 2015.

But yes, it is voter disenfranchisement, and UKIP would have been one of the biggest gainers from a fairer system.

I don't know how much complaint you were expecting to see about UKIP voters specifically being disenfranchised, as opposed to the general problem of seats not matching votes (and people not bothering to vote in safe seats, and voting "tactically" for parties they don't like as much).

For what it's worth, here's The Guardian highlighting the efforts of UKIP and the Greens in campaigning together for reform, explaining how the current system is particularly unfair to the former:

They need to be in different trust zones unless your willingness to enter a credit card into any website means you’re willing to allow every other website you may be visiting to observe that input. Ditto viewing bank information etc.

That’s the point: you can’t just pile every website into the same zone, and if you did pile them into the same zone, then using a different password for x.com and y.com is to some extent pointless because x can observe y’s password input and vice-versa.

(disregarding the fact that in current computing architectures “just put all the untrusted stuff on one core” is probably an insufficient solution due to shared caches anyways, no indeed nothing in this attack requires “sharing a core”)
Footnote- there's a very practical reason that personal names are not typically translated: address, i.e. speaking to people or calling to them.

If you're attempting to call to somebody using a translated name, such a person might not recognize and respond to the name, unless they've had considerable time to adjust to it.

On the other hand, one is typically not walking around shouting a country's name to get its attention.

This is not a hard and fast rule, and the translation of personal names has a complex and somewhat sordid history, but there's your short answer.

On the other hand, the variance from countries to cities, provinces, etc... well... I have nothing to offer on that mystery.
Except we do have control over it, if we didn't people wouldn't be complaining so loudly about being shunned for the sinful and heretical crap that comes out of their mouths.

Think so. From an outsider (non-security) point of view at least.

Speculative execution is basically required for fast single-threaded performance, and it also seems to be fundamentally incompatible with running arbitrary programs on the platform securely.

We've all really invested in tricking ourselves into believing otherwise, but this is definitely a tick. It is a trick that many of our careers depend on, so we'll see various 'fixes' bandied about, but they won't solve tomorrow's hole.

Programs running locally should be assumed to have total control. So, like, don't run evil programs. And disable Javascript in the browser. (For the client side, maybe Intel and AMD could put a special in-order, no-speculation, no-branch prediction core on their chips from now on, shunt Javascript to that by default).
In today's arms race of exploits, you need to operate and prepare your interactions with computers with a defined threat scenario. This is never-ending.

> Linux creator Linus Torvalds famously rejected such warnings, arguing that such exploits weren’t practical.

And I would certainly agree with Linus, here's why:

> Retbleed can leak kernel memory from Intel CPUs at about 219 bytes per second and with 98 percent accuracy.

Retbleed adds more credence to this idea of impractical-yet-technically-feasible exploits; where do you draw the line? Do you choose to be vulnerable to this 219 bytes per second leak at the cost of 28% CPU overhead? I would imagine, one could toggle on or off the mitigations they'd want with the implications provided in the future via modifying BIOS settings.
On going the other way, there is/was quite a reaction on China half-ripping off Disney (!) characters in regional parks or goods. I'd argue China making "knock-off"s or "stealing our IP" is pretty close to that as well.

Then, it's pretty hard to culturally appropriate Christianity when it's setup with a doctrine of expansion and push to fit everywhere it can. That was basically the premise of colonialism in the early days. Same way we wouldn't be crying rivers because Asians countries embraced Coca Cola.

> germ theory of disease

Hasn't that been a two-way street for basically the beginning of times ? The Silk Road was as much about exchanging theories and culture than exchanging goods. There's no discussion the very base of our own culture and science is heavily influenced by the early advancement of eastern countries.
What are your favorites overall for book scanning? I'm building a DIY scanner and have only briefly considered the actual software I'll use in the processing pipeline. FOSS or API tooling preferred unless proprietary packages are significantly better.
Aesthetically, I like the Hubble images better, they are more painterly and colorful. However there is no doubt that the JWST contains way more information and is exponentially more valuable.
Agreed.

I've been in the same position a few times after this and it really is all about reading the room and the people you're talking to.

It was clear the execs I was talking to wanted to get a more "feet on the street" perspective on the project and find out what was really making the project lag behind. I felt like I had nothing to lose and could explain things in a simple manner so they could understand what the issue was and give them a viable alternative that could save the project.

In other situations, I've had the CTO sit in front of a room and berate a dev team I was on for not testing an external app and having it crash a bevy of servers for almost two days while asking if anybody had any answers as to why we didn't test enough. The other situation was getting pulled into a VP's office and ask me why a project wasn't hitting our goals. It felt like more of a "Tell me who I should be firing for this." meeting and I wasn't about to throw anybody under the bus and felt like being honest and speaking up wasn't in my best interest.
I saw Blade Runner and Road Warrior as a double feature. Blade Runner was pretty but Road Warrior was the one that kind of blew my mind. No way you kill the protagonist's dog and blow up his car half way into the film!
They don't, that is true.

It's just highly impressive to me what we're able to accomplish when we actually focus effort on a task - including getting high-ish bandwidth back and forth between something in space.
abortion has been a natural right for thousands of years. women cerainly don’t need you nor the state to intercede in what is essentially a right to bodily autonomy.
When I was a kid, it was more "Find a sturdy wall, ideally below ground, to sit against. Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye."

Hopefully, now, they're smaller and farther away. Ideally, they're farther away in time also.
That's an interesting point. He's paid by the advertisers therefore they're his direct customers whilst the viewing public are secondary, and therefore have far less responsibility to maintain the viability of his business plan.
Why have a non-'guest' network? Force anything secure over a proper VPN E.G. wireguard.
If MS or any FAANG wants to hire you for a kernel dev position, go for it; they clearly see a lot of potential in you that maybe you don't see yourself. I want to point out a couple of things that you should be prepared for:

> 2. Debugging exclusively via metrics and logs, since I can't just attach a debugger to a running server.

You often can't do this in kernel/OS development work either. Serial printf logging is often required. It can be a real "my tools to debug my tools are broken" slog.

> 3. Designing systems in general. Some people love the challenge of distributed transactions, eventual consistency and all that jazz, but it just rubs my brain the wrong way. I'm not interested at all in that problem space [1].

I'm not sure I understand this issue. I mean, kernels have subsystems for doing stuff; you might need to design one someday? But it won't be dull-as-dishwater web technology stacks, it'll be you writing data structures directly in C/C++ or Rust if MS goes there.
They pulled down and chewed on every one of the corn plants I grew a couple of years ago. They didn't eat them all, just seemed intent on maximum carnage.
> Most of the workers were in moderately low-skilled, low-wage jobs, such as Autopilot data labeling, which involves determining if Tesla’s algorithm identified an object well or poorly, according to one source.

Sounds like product or engineering were not affected.
> The JWST ICDH team delivered the SpaceWire technology – which is packaged in a digital, low power (1.5W), high speed (66Mbps) Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) computer chip

The concepts of "low power" and "high speed" has changed a lot since JWST was designed.
This is such bs. Why do you have to grow so fast? Wtf. Stop taking loans and having to sell your soul to get out.
What about reflected light, like most things we see in the solar system?
Wasm is trivially accessible from JavaScript, so it's not unreasonable to conflate the two, even if its technically incorrect. Wasm also can't do anything that JS couldn't already do; it's simply more convenient in many cases (and maybe somewhat faster at runtime) to write code in C/C++/Rust/whatever and compile it to Wasm than to write the code in JS. You could (and still can) compile these languages to asm.js instead, in which case the code would actually be JS, albeit a particularly weird dialect.

The site pretty clearly says it works on Chrome 88, on Linux. Chrome 91 reduced the resolution of performance.now significantly, which likely broke this website (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/cross-origin-isolated-hr-t...). You're also trying this out on Windows, which is also not supported by the demo page in its default configuration.

But also: this was a demo page put together by a random security researcher on their own, based on a vulnerability from a year ago. It's not a reflection of what a motivated attacker could do with a sufficiently powerful exploitation primitive (say, this Retbleed attack).
I hope they don't change the ergonomics. In 30 years of using a mouse, trying out dozens of different ones, this is the only one that I've ever been able to use the whole day without discomfort. It's magic.
Or use multiple rounds of hashing to generate and validate the hash. IIRC about 5 years ago MS Office was using 500K rounds of SHA512 by default (as a keygen for decrypting documents), which meant about 8 guesses a second on a good machine. Of course you have to keep updating those specs as computing power increases over time.
True. I got my first consulting client from a Twitter DM.
Also some high-probability relatively low payoff events. The OP could probably expect the hedge fund that took the meeting would feed back to the bank that referred them that they appreciated the introduction and thought the team had integrity and good sector-specific knowledge. That might help cement relations with the existing client and win more referrals for the company.

And hedge fund employees impressed by a presentation are likely to talk to and occasionally move to work at banks. The headhunting relative with the ideal job vacancy certainly wasn't the most likely of the many potential positive outcomes!
Around here by the time restaurants opened again the menus were back out in force.

When the article says "scrambling", this is what it means. Normally there's enough time before disclosure for a patch to be prepared and sometimes even released. I wouldn't consider the phrasing of the headline an exaggeration this time.
Your proposal doesn't in fact say that, and that doesn't go far enough, because it doesn't protect users' rights to actually obtain and run the software. You're proposing to give up almost all of our rights without a fight in the face of the patent menace.

We need far stronger protections from patentholders than that, even if perhaps observing the Geneva Conventions might be a worthwhile concession to make in the process.
It's a lot better than the old Macbook Pros, but that's only because they've been terrible for so long.

All I want is a Mac in a Thinkpad-like shell, with ports and docking support and all that 1990s-style jazz. But they can keep the modern monitor, that's pretty good.
I use mailbox.org and have no issues with it. I don't think the web interface looks amazing but I only use it with IMAP clients so it's not an issue for me. You can get a free trial account which is quite limited in functionality but will show you the web UI at least, so you can make your own decision.

I have also used soverin.net and broadly found it was fine, but ran into a couple of issues like difficulties managing spam settings, poor documentation on website etc. Worth noting that soverin.net also requires a phone number to sign up, which some people dislike on privacy grounds (may or may not be a deal-breaker for you).

It's so hard to fight a pro-nuclear opinion when you're arguing against people of 0 science or engineering background and only see toxic waste that is difficult to dispose of as the problem.

Recent oil prices and obvious climate catastrophes have started shifting the general publics opinions and thus, many of us are coming out from under rocks so to speak.
Is this the guy responsible for the Intel Macbook Pros becoming a useless single-port monstrosity with unusable keyboards? I think his personal motto was "Make it as thin as possible without sacrificing usability, then forget the second half and make it thinner just because I said so."

If so, good riddance! I wish Apple would go back to being an engineering company instead of a boutique advertiser.
