Does Microsoft have to approve these drivers? I would argue Microsoft should not allow this kind of thing if they really want to provide security.

Apple would never approve such a mechanism, for sure.
Then you don't want a voluntary resignation, I think you want them ousted.

The kind of person to learn from their mistakes through honest self reflection (and hence would voluntarily resign) is probably the kind of person you might want to keep around, or at least not decide to make a public example of.
Great idea ! Now, try to convince the 30 implementers that did the wrong choice and will tell you they'll never change it because of backwards compatibility.
The big thing recently was the Obon Festival in San Jose Japantown, we had a great time. The valley is very Asian, if you don't make any asian friends you are missing out.

The fact you say "lack of diversity" when many parts of the south bay are more than 50% Asian, makes you sound like the kind of racist who just does not see Asian people. Similarly, San Jose is 40% Hispanic and it's a big part of the culture down here.

Product-Engineering Collaboration – Getting Past Waterfall
Hi Dimitry, nice to see you around here! :)

This is really cool. How about a CircleCI orb too? Postman has plenty of micro-services with OpenAPI definitions that could really use this. My bet is that a lot of mature companies doing spec-first API development will be using more commercial CI providers than GitHub Pages.
You can configure the native screenshot app to create jpegs (smaller), but I think you lose transparency.
The funny part is that these sorts of acts increase consumption to fix or replace the destruction, which generally involves a lot of C02.

"just by running keys down the side of them, at a cost to the owner of several thousand pounds a time."

I imagine quite a few owners would stop caring. At least here in the US, you have to not give a shit about having a nice car in the city due to the high risk of collision, side swipes/mirror, vandalism, theft, terrible potholes, etc.
there are plenty of people for whom this is either not a deal breaker, is a non issue, or support it. secondly i think this may be a point that breakes the red hold on the state it has been purple for a long time already and this will probably result in quiet the backlash against the right.

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like Xanadu was always vaporware for a very important reason: It never had a specification concrete enough to implement because its chief architect always came off like a schizophrenic. I can't be alone in thinking that. No one who's read any of the numerous papers and books surrounding this fiasco can walk away thinking it's author is sane. There's just something about that "stream of consciousness" style of all Ted Nelson's papers that point to there being something fundamentally wrong with him.

I say all this not to be a dick, mind you, but to point out that when something has been vapoware for decades that maybe it's time to ignore the guy who's at the heart of it and, if there's anything useful in it, move on without him. The world did that as far as hypertext goes. Now if only the world could do that with GNU.
Where did Omicron come from? Three key theories

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00215-2

"Omicron forms a stronger grip on ACE2 than do previously seen variants3. It is also better at evading the virus-blocking ‘neutralizing’ antibodies4 produced by people who have been vaccinated, or who have been infected with earlier variants
[..]
At some point [..] something happened to help Omicron explode, maybe because the progress of other variants — such as Delta — was gradually impeded by the immunity built up from vaccination and previous infection, whereas Omicron was able to evade this barrier."
There's a lot of lines you can draw about what technically counts as the world record time. It's also incorrect to say that the world record is 3.47, because there are many on-camera examples of faster solves. They simply weren't done in the course of an official WCA event. The goal of the WCA isn't to most accurately determine what the world record is, it's to determine who can solve a cube the fastest in the context of an accessible and enjoyable competition. Trying to change WCA regulations to better match your personal definition of what counts as the world record is against the goals of the WCA.
“Profit” isn’t always measured in money. Influence and control are also profit, even if do not increase your bank account size or improve your geopolitical strategic position.

Someone posted a timeline above in years, amusingly it lines up quite well with this hypothesis:

I don't think anyone has watched any 30 minute video on Twitter because I've yet to see a Twitter video go more than about 10 seconds without buffering.

I'm honestly shocked at just how bad Twitter is at serving video. For a company that size and for as important as video is, it's absolutely inexcusable.

Set up a system to treat a symptom. Surely the actual problem would be capable of tainting that system as well, wouldn’t it?

The slope is slippery and the cost is great.

No, I’m not offering a solution. To the problem of capitalism, or to any other. But it is hard to get excited about more symptom solving.

Greed comes close, but it is broader. A tyrant doesn’t have to be wealthy. Which is why another “ism” just doesn’t do it for me. Power doesn’t have to be draped in gold. (It just tends to be.)
Yeah it's a shame that Goodreads stopped giving out API keys, that could have helped with automating the list to some extent at least.
I like to take a screenshot too when having just created something. Myself I like to create a screenshot of my whole desktop. Years later I get a nice feeling of nostalgia seeing what theme, wm, apps etc. I used to work with.

I see two forms of complaint you might be referring to.

I don't believe anyone carrying out "MASSIVEN KRIMINELLEN GEWALTTATEN" will fail to understand how the state-backed violence will be used against them. So yes, if they complain about that response, then I don't think it's all that valid.

However, that does not mean that the original complaint - the lack of required and urgent response to the climate change crisis - is not valid.

Suffragettes carried out a bombing and arson campaign. "Places that wealthy people, typically men, frequented were also burnt and destroyed whilst left unattended so that there was little risk to life, including cricket pavilions, horse-racing pavilions, churches, castles and the second homes of the wealthy. They also burnt the slogan "Votes for Women" into the grass of golf courses." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette_bombing_and_arson_... .

That doesn't invalidate the complaint about the lack of woman suffrage.
You are throwing up a false and dishonest choice: it's not "conceive of every loophole and edge case" vs. "let bureaucrats do whatever they want."

I think it's a different phenomenon. There are plenty of extremely good devs in India, it's just that they won't work for peanuts. They will be paid similarly to devs in some western countries.
That’s fine, if it gets people to share their salaries.

You can put all the investment in the world, but you cannot take the mindset of corruption from Indians. Given a chance, on average, they will take the easy way out. The biggest curse of India was Infosys and the "IT boom" which brought in thousands of low level jobs to India, bolstered the economy but killed any innovation in the country. All the thinking and innovation was done in the west and cheap bodies were provided by India. That's why Java was so popular in India. It allows for very little creativity. Leaving India's reputation as a place for cheap, dumb labour with low quality code or scammers. Only recently a tiny subset are trying to break out of this mold.
I am so old that I used to ride a bike across town past the social worker’s house to a park to play all day (and swim the raging American River) at the age of 10.

In some of these countries the cost of living and the median salary are skewed. For example rent is cheap, but for very low quality places, while something that compares to USA is very expensive. Average price for a smartphone is $100-200 because most people buy that, but an iPhone or Google Pixel is more expensive than in USA. In many places software developers earn 2-3 times the city average and several times the country average, but their quality of life is very low, while the quality of the output of their work most of the time has nothing to do with the amount they are paid. In the same city one can find a few excellent developers, but paid less than mediocre ones working for a different company. In outsourcing companies, one can find a few excellent developers paid the same as the mediocre ones, all working for the same client. The end result is a randomness of quality that makes outsourcing a high risk bet.

Source article thesis that this article is a response to (the Atlantic piece):

> "Social scientists have identified at least three major forces that collectively bind together successful democracies: social capital (extensive social networks with high levels of trust), strong institutions, and shared stories. Social media has weakened all three. To see how, we must understand how social media changed over time—and especially in the several years following 2009."

Social scientists have reproducibility problems in their work, so that's more like an ideological opinion than anything else, but if we take it as given, here's the gist of the response:

> "First, social media (and Twitter in particular) cannot account for a societal wide decline in trust or a societal wide rise in radicalism and partisanship. The number of active twitter users is just too small... Second: the better explanation for declining institutional trust is declining institutional performance... Third, what we call “cancel culture” is not a new feature of American life. It has always been with us."

Another possibility is that the chattering classes believe they're more important than they are, and more fundamental economic and ecological factors are behind the deepening cracks in the facade of social stability. A society divided into wealthy pockets and impoverished wastelands is simply not a stable society, and the ecological impacts of resource exhaustion and climate extremes certainly aren't helping with the resilience factor.

The combination of economic and climatic stress has destroyed entire civilizations in the past. Modern technology (for example, the ability to dig deep wells for water, the ability to generate power via different means if one source is exhausted, etc.) can buffer this to some extent, if there's enough social cohesion to ensure that technological benefits are available to all. Otherwise, the historical record points to civil war being the most likely outcome.

Inventor of hoverboard learns hard lesson on protecting patents
The candidate ratio I’ve seen has been all over the map depending on the company. At one place it was more like 90% of candidates who couldn’t write any code, another place it was closer to 50%, and I’ve worked at some places where nearly every candidate we got was at least somewhat competent as a programmer. The obvious answer is better pre-screening or candidate sourcing, but one of the places with generally high quality candidates was a small startup with no recruiting to pre-screen (although we mainly recruited from local meetups so perhaps that was good sourcing)
K8s is certainly a beast and I agree with your posts directionally but just as a counterpoint - as a solopreneur I've been using k8s to run my business workloads (on GKE) for the past 4 or 5 years now. I'm very comfortable with dev and ops and k8s is a force multiplier for me, letting me easily manage much more than I could without it (e.g. due to automation, tooling, community, etc). Building on top of a standardized platform with a huge community has been a big win for me as a solo dev.

I'm not running a very big operation, I only have two nodes which host a few custom webapps and a few dozen WP sites. Running in a single region removes the extra charge for HA GKE, letting me run pretty lean and just pay for the VM, storage and bandwidth. I hardly ever have to spend any time on managing the cluster, it keeps chugging along while I get things done and makes it easy for me to manage app lifecycles. YMMV.

I keep it simple, I tried helm but didn't like it because it added too much complexity. I pull in cert-manager and nginx-ingress to every cluster I run but nothing else. I build my images locally and push to the registry directly, no CI/CD. I focus on the core competencies of k8s and try to stay lean and conservative with adding new tools or components.
I wonder what was DALL-E input for the cover image?
How HN: Silver Bullet: Markdown as a Platform
Silver Bullet is highly-extensible, open source personal knowledge management software. Indeed, that’s fancy language for “a note taking app with links.”

At its core, SB is a Markdown editor that stores pages (notes) as plain markdown files in a folder referred to as a space. Pages can be cross-linked using the [[link to other page]] syntax. However, once you leverage its various extensions (called plugs) it can feel more like a knowledge platform, allowing you to annotate, combine and query your accumulated knowledge in creative ways, specific to you.

The difference in effort, for a cheater, between installing a cheat as a user process and a kernel driver is about one button click.

I can decide to cheat, stick my CC info into a website and download a program in less than 5 minutes. To get hardware I need to provide my shipping info and wait a couple of days. If the hardware is banned, I need to wait a few days before my replacement hardware is there, or with software I just update and restart.

It's not an all or nothing thing, it's a game of cat and mouse. The aim isn't to completely stamp out cheaters at any cost, it's to raise the bar sufficiently high to make it so that enough games aren't destroyed by cheaters.
Very true. People did drink a lot more back then (even John Adams had some hard cider with breakfast), but also, the alcohol content of their wine or beer was probably pretty low.

I've felt neck fatigue around ~250 miles in a day. My solution is to regularly look down when it's safe to do so (not drafting).

One idea I have is a Hololens-like setup, with a camera mounted to the front of the bike to allow the cyclist to ride in a "head down" position for long stretches, preventing neck fatigue and increasing aerodynamics.
Self driving technology did seem to reach human parity in 5 years back in 2010s, and the growth was later revealed to be logarithmic than exponential, and Elon doubled down on a bad bet on it.

It’s not about whether they should have clarified the scope, the scope did include a completely automatic driving. It just that they failed to deliver(tbf no one truly made it).
NL or PLO/PL with numbers means the amount of money you bring on the table, typically 100x the big blind. So NL200 means a games with blinds $1/$2 (blinds are the obligatory bets at the beginning of a game so that there is something to play for).

On certain sites the same game would be named NL $1/$2, some players might refer to it as 1/2 NL (pronounce one-two NL), but it's the same NL200 (sometimes 200NL) game.

In limit games (with fixed bets) you would usually give the amount of the blinds. And some games have more complicated betting structures, for example with antes, but let's not get into that.
> So they acknowledge that running third-party stuff in kernel mode increases the likelihood your machine gets owned by malware

Which is utter nonsense. Nothing will touch this kernel mode stuff unless they’ve already owned your machine. All the data you care about is accessible from usermode anyway.

The risks of kernel mode anticheat have been wildly overstated, Riot is engaging in the same to spread silly FUD regarding cheats.
Yeah, definitely this. It's another gen-z fallacy that continues to encourage me to have nothing to do with that generation as someone on the fringe of the millennial / zoomer label.
It's funny, rather than use the console, awscli, or AWS docs even - I often reach for Terraform or its docs.

The documentation aspect in particular is interesting I think. So often I find AWS concepts or interactions between resources are more clearly explained by the AWS provider for TF than by AWS itself. The latter too often reads like salesman mumbo-jumbo to me, devoid of actual detail or what actually is it.
If UTF-8 allowed that, then a solution would split words wrong according to UTF-8 rules, but it still would not matter, since the problem statement says that "it's okay to only support ASCII for the whitespace handling and lowercase operation".

So if your solution gets word splitting (or lowercasing) wrong for non-ASCII input, it still gets a pass according to my reading.
Yes included. I don't have gas heating anyway. Just a little plug-in electric radiator.
I think it was the immediacy combined with the lack of choice. The ZX81 "booted" into BASIC (in about 2 seconds), and there was nothing else to do. You programmed it or you asked your mum to take you to WHSmiths to spend more money than you had on a game which would take 15+ minutes to load from tape. I wasn't interested in games so I programmed instead.
Northern Africa has a huge opportunity here - build infra that produces hydrogen gas year round, and then export it to Europe. The Sahara Desert is 8_600_000 km², which I imagine is _very sunny_ all year round.
