FANGS hire plenty of senior talent especially on the infrastructure side, but there is a core challenge of what ever senior means.

I've seen many senior people get managed out due to performance as the game is much harder. Perhaps, it is needlessly hard. However Price's Law applies and is soul crushing.
Is Valgrind any use in Rust?
Whats important to note here:

NYC has a FUCKTON OF PEOPLE. And crime isn't uniformaly spread among it all. Some small sub-sections could be accounting for dispraportionately more than others. So with both of those things, the liklihood of a crime happening is very high. But not per 100k people.

That's the big difference. If there is 1 shooting per 100k people, and there are 5 million people around, that's 50 shootings. Vs if you have only 10,000 people around. At 10,000 people, you might see a shooting every 5 years, but proportionately that's double the NYC rate.

That's where the visibility vs reality is so counter-intuitive.

Also interestingly enough, I see A LOT of homeless (I work near a shelter). And they are indeed crazy looking. But honestly the worst they do is yell at you, and often its because they haven't had real human contact in months. Just imagine being isolated inside a massive crowd.

> Speaking of software quality, I think it’s fitting that I now work full time on Rust, a systems programming language that didn’t exist when Valgrind was created, but which basically prevents all the problems that Memcheck detects.

Just like Ada has been doing since 1983.
However people might feel (and they might feel less safe!) does not detract from the raw factuality that the subway is extremely safe. If people died and were maimed on America's highways at the rate they are in NYC's subways, we'd save tens of thousands of lives and livelihoods yearly.

> How many attempted homicides, attempted muggings, stalkings, etc. are there that never get reported?

Do you have a source indicating that NYC underreports these crimes uniquely, and not merely that they're generally underreported? Our police are generally zealous when it comes to violent crime statistics, since it allows them to pump the Fear Machine and keep public support up.
They said that their new employer uses Gitlab. The link in the OP describes that before today you couldn't use both at the same time.
I can't believe that article didn't use "Mayor Leadfoot" in the headline.
The real problem is that NYC is much more dangerous, and much more unpleasant than NYC of ten or five years ago. And for no good reason other than bad policy choices.
I liked Comedians in Cars (and Seinfeld, of course), and enjoyed seeing him perform live about 7-8 years ago. However, like you, the idea that he is "remarkably consistent," along with the sentence you quoted, simply doesn't ring true. It's a phony setup about a phony anecdote for a phony article about a boring concept to (potentially) create a personal habit.

In Vanuatu, where I am now. Facebook is free to use on mobile phone networks provided by Vodafone or Digicel.

Consequently, Facebook is 'the internet' for most here. We have Facebook groups with member counts that are 1/3 of the country's population. For example the group 'Yumi Toktok Stret' has 128K members for a country of 300k. It is an amazing look into the thoughts of a nation since everything from jokes and gossip to serious arguments on policy occur there.
And yet people have very little angst getting out on a road filled with other people poorly driving massive overpowered vehicles at high rates of speed.

Isn’t it also super unintuitive that developers will have to manage partitioning customer data at the Application Layer even though they think they are using a Data Layer security policy.

When RLS is enabled, their should never be a situation where Customer A might be able to gain access to Customer B data. That’s literally the entire objective of the feature.

This is giving people a false sense of security, and for multi-tenant applications has massive consequences since this will leak data.
This is awesome and cool!

It's hard to say how well it would translate to other kinds of manuals. I say this just knowing how exquisitely high quality the design is for lego manuals, and how much effort went into ensuring 3yr olds can accuracy understand them.

Many people are buying homes exclusively for the price appreciation. They are using leverage to turn a $50k down payment on a $400k house into a capital gain of $200k when the price of that house rises to $600k. In the process, no actual value has been created. But the gambler, er homeowner comes out way ahead.

Someday interest rates will return to historical norms, and these folks will get crushed. They partied hard, and the hangover will be epic. Financial prudence, scorned for the past 20+ years, will be back in style again.

Nonsense? As you state the Houthis have been inhibiting the safekeeping attempts, which amounts to sabotage; kind of dismissive to call affecting at least 3 Saudi desalination plants and Jizan "aesthetic" damage in addition to the effects on the Houthi like the blockage of shipments including food aid to Houthi controlled ports https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8682806/bin/NIH... Tactically, given the odds of a more advantageous outcome now during the summer it might make sense for the Saudi's to destroy it as this winter will likely be its last one fueled and the target June 1 UN defueling start date has long past, but the assured strategic international response seems more concerning. What would be nonsense would be to try and connive VC amounts of money off of this like making a deal with the Houthis to let a group of hired "Somali" pirates siphon off the oil and blame any "slow leak" scenario on the thieves.
It's kinda funny that cash is mentioned because at least according to rules I see posted by the Japan post, you can't send over 100 Krone (~$15) via mail into Sweden from abroad.

I suppose if you're in the EU you might be able to get away with it but it is indeed tough.

The main thing that I think is missing in Mullvad's FAQ is about if they have backups of their data. If they do, then differential analysis is possible. Perhaps they only keep backups of past 14 days or something.

There are couple of risks involved using this service:

- adversary identifies that a Mullvad user is doing something, and activity started around X. They might be able to figure out what account number is associated to that.

- adversary identifies that Mullvad user X is doing something. Through payment records and differential analysis (along with other information from banks or the like) they could identify who user X is (modulo credit card theft and the like of course).

Given that Mullvad had accounts with payment processors and those processors have record keeping requirements, it feels like the second threat is very practically doable without very smart handling of backups. But it does seem like handling the first threat is done relatively well. The one risk is that someone starts doing something risky right as they sign up to the account.

Mullvad states 500k accounts. over 10 years that's 136 people/day. You're still looking at a pretty wide net if you can isolate payments from a certain time period.
I went from CTO to SDE II, and it totally made sense. There's nothing wrong with being downleveled if you are playing a different scale game.

Maybe the ponderings of a highly-respected thinker of the 20th-century might be useful in this discussion, this PDF includes Bertrand Russell's essay "Science and Values". The essay's found on p. 619. of The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell, a section of Part XVI, 'The Philosopher and Expositor of Science'.

[https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/The-Basic-Wr...]

"Science used to be valued as a means of getting to know the world; now, owing to the triumph of technique, it is conceived as showing how to change the world."

That it has.
I agree, there's no obligation to refer to the CIA using their own lingo, any more than it is to refer to criminal gang members with their self-assigned titles.
You ask some good questions. I wonder sometimes; if Facebook disappeared tomorrow, how badly would my life be affected? And it's strange to me that the disappearance of a platform which seems to pervade my daily life would only cause minor inconvenience.

I'll admit that Messenger has greater sway over my daily life, but I could probably switch over to an alternate messaging platform with minimal pain.

> Maybe the answer is that I should delete facebook and go back to beforetimes when the world was smaller

It's absurd how highly we've come to value a platform that brings only an incremental amount of joy to our lives (and who knows how much grief). I would be lying if I said I don't enjoy seeing what my old friends are up to, or knowing who's had kids, etc. But well, maybe I'll have to call them up for coffee and a chat instead.
However, RISC-V is not x86. So, if you want to use the x86 instruction set, then will you need emulation? The modern x86 are too complicated anyways (in many ways; Pluton is just one of them but not only one, also the instructions is too complicated), but I think the old 8088 is reasonably not too complicated.

That's interesting. It never occurred to me that people would use Facebook that way.
Top-level cryptographic identifiers that create an identity separate and distinct from a network location are basically de rigueur for network protocols these days. Almost as if it's a missing layer between IP and TCP? Interesting to see the trend continue in this proposal.

Without an easy way to pay for content online, this will be subject to the same distorting, ad-infiltrating forces as the web in general. Charging even tiny fees for content online resolves a host of problems... while of course creating others.
It's a quarter where we are seeing an inflation explosion, COVID and international uncertainty which is causing recessionary behaviour. Companies across the IT sector are cutting jobs and revising forecasts either because of actual or expected drop in revenue.

Can't think anyone serious would look to derive any meaning from a single data point in this environment.

For all we know the entire DAU drop could be from Ukraine and Russia alone.

This is pretty much how MoviePass went bankrupt. The unifying gist is, the business model depends on acquiring customers that don't use the advertised service. But customers are smart and want to maximize the value they receive for their money.

Eventually, you either get an ISP-like situation where everyone has caps on their "unlimited" service and there is no room to disrupt the market, or you get MoviePass.

There is not going to be a free-market solution to this problem, because no service with defined limits will be able to compete with the "unlimited" service at the same price point, and there are no consequences to simply dropping the expensive customers.

From "Accidental Exposure to Ultraviolet-C (UVC) Germicidal Lights: A Case Report and Recommendations in Orthodontic Clinical Settings" (2021) https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/03015742211013...

> While UVA radiation is the least hazardous and most associated with skin ageing, UVB is known to cause DNA damage and is a risk factor in developing sunburn, skin cancer, and cataracts. UVC is a “germicidal” radiation with the ability to penetrate deeper, killing bacteria and inactivating viruses.6 There are various types of UVC germicidal lamps—cold cathode germicidal UV lamps, hot cathode germicidal UV lamps, slimline germicidal UV lamps, high output germicidal UV lamps, UV LEDs, and UV lamp shapes with lamp connectors. The latter two are the safest to be used with the utmost precautions.

> This case report describes a vital observation of adverse effects produced by exposure to UV germicidal lamps. There are very few studies reporting accidental exposures to UVC at work in hospital settings. 7 [...]

> Importantly, overexposure to UVC radiation causes ocular and epidermal signs and symptoms. Typical skin reactions in a welder and acute sunburn produced by an electric insect-killing device with an irradiance of as much as 46 mW m-2 have been reported previously in the literature.13, 14 As for germicidal lamps, adverse effects include facial erythema, burning sensation, irritation, pain, keratoconjunctivitis, sunburn, conjunctival redness, blurry vision, photophobia, and irritation to the airway due to the generation of ozone from UVC lamps.

Except that it's not comical. I've lived in both, and I've experienced way more crime in my life in the country than in the city. In the country, we didn't report neighbor disputes because we didn't want them to murder us in our sleep, because we ratted them out to the police. We have a neighbor kill one of our dogs (by feeding it antifreeze), we had them threaten us with guns on our own property (which, obviously is why we were worried they'd kill us in our sleep). We had property stolen numerous times. There were always trespassers in our woods. There was a hit and run on the street in front of us (we did actually report that). We had constant problems with meth heads. This wasn't in some crazy backwoods filled with trailer parks. It was relatively affluent (for the country).

My brother lives in a small town, and kids in his neighborhood shot their kids with BB guns. They have issues with neighbors leaving their dogs off leash and attacking their dogs. They've had people from the neighborhood try to run them off the road. None of these things get reported to the police, because the police won't do anything, and you'll start a crazy feud with the neighbors. You don't hear about family feuds in the city, but they're a constant in small towns and can last generations.

I've lived in New Orleans, NYC, SF, and Tokyo, and other than New Orleans, I'd say every place has felt safer than when I lived in small towns or the country when I was growing up.
And you will get paid for looking after your "ex" employer's interests, even if not actually with a paycheck (though there's been cases of that too). Big corporations aren't the only ones who know how to grease revolving doors.
In both cases the people benefit, but in one the people benefit and it's still public property, whereas in the other the public goods were sold to business people and the business people are now getting a cut. [0]

If somebody is making money off of a transaction, that money is coming from somewhere. At the margins that is fine but when we're talking about 10s of billions of dollars it just looks like a handout from the general public to people who had enough money to invest in a transportation corporation during its privatisation.

Counterfactuals are not resolvable though, but I think we can look at how this stuff was built out and decide if there are structures to do it without having to just let go of democratic control of vital infrastructure.

What’s your anecdote?
> just simply want to see what their friends are up to and posting

People keep saying this is what people want. Show me the numbers that it's true.

Because when Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, Youtube etc. all move to this model and stick with it the evidence is clear that it's not want people want.
You’re eating it wrong!
I think that approach only works on general purpose operating systems, right? It can’t be used to add assets to executables that are used on, say, embedded systems. Or WebAssembly apps.
> LaMDA or GPT-3 that are as susceptible as they are to Jedi Mind Tricks

True, large LMs can't be used as they are now. You can lead these language models into saying anything.

They would have to be hardened against adversarial chats - maybe using the "red teaming" technique of training an adversary to trip the chat bot into bad conversations. Automate the discovery of attack angles.
I'm a former president and board member of a makerspace in Ohio (hive13).

We thrived on donations (a lot of donations from members who had extra to give to help support the space and help students or those who couldn't afford our membership), and didn't receive much local help.

A few years ago the hive grew to the point where we couldn't expand it any more, and we moved locations. We're still going strong. We spend money by voting on project, and even when projects aren't funded, the community finds a way to make it happen anyway.

We didn't try to run it for profit: memberships are $50/month or $100/month (if you can afford it) or $13.37 (if you're a student or can't afford it).

The hive is still on great footing, financially speaking, and it competes with maker spaces from the Cincinnati Public Library as well as a commercial makerspace in Sharonville.

Maker spaces do work, but, it takes a lot of time, effort, and quite literally blood to make them work well.
I liked Threema but it had the same issue of getting other people to use it. For me it was usually very specific individuals I wanted to share a channel with so it wasn't too difficult. But for more general contacts and friends there was no chance. And maybe that is ok in the end.
Myspace was never a ~trillion dollar company.
What do you think? There's a bit of tongue-in-cheek comedy but the base concept is probably quite useful.

Agreed. I started using blazor webassembly and I love it. It enables logic sharing between backend and frontend.
+100. I have different slacks and discords for different groups. One for extended family--we share pix there.

I sometimes post the same content to two groups, but it's pretty rare.

I do miss the broader reach of classic Instagram where I could follow friends without them needing to be in a close circle with one another. Lots of them are unwilling to join the chat.

But I don't miss it enough to put up with f---ing TikTok behavior.
Facebook was indeed very innovative, I loved it and I was fascinated by the things it made possible up until 10 years ago. I also made my first money by creating apps and selling them back in 2008.

I guess it's always more fun when the VCs pay for all that and all the fun evaporates when they want their money back.

Sorry, the argument is:

The refutation is that by default users are an admin. So no, they’re not protected against persistent threats like UEFI malware.
Sounds like a single day in the city. Rather than people just threatening with guns, they just actually pointed guns at my head and tried to rob me. At least in the country it was legal for me to carry and point back. If that's all you got from a lifetime in the country it sound like a joke to time spent in the city.
