Super interesting insight and generally agree with the gist of what you are saying.

> Any weakness in any of these skills is an existential threat, and you don't know for sure what will hit you this year.

Hard disagree with this conclusion. I regularly work with businesses from 100~1000 employees and at a certain scale (number of employees might not be a great proxy), the engine of the company simply takes over - good or bad CEO.

There are great CEOs that can do ALL of the things you mention, but I've also sat in board meetings with some pretty terrible CEOs of $100M revenue businesses. To the point where I would seriously question how the company still was operating, but alas, it chugged along.

It's actually incredible to me how many businesses that do have poor leadership that continually survive. Once you've built a brand, a reputation, a network of clients and a somewhat steady book of business, it's surprisingly hard for most businesses to fail.

Note - tech companies on a VC track are a bit of an exception to this, but thats usually because they are spending more than they earn, so they literally strangle themselves. It's important to remember in the grand scheme the number of VC backed companies is greatly dwarfed by the number of businesses that exist.

Even with cheap modern equipment it should be no problem to manipulate the bus of something as glacially slow as a 286. With common bus frequencies, you don't even need to be really careful with the PCB layout, and e.g. a Zynq (FPGA+ARM SoC) is probably total overkill already but convenient and fun.

But the unbonded pads that you mention are a far greater concern to me...

I disagree about it being “not much better”; with Blu-ray, even without SGX, you can still rely on software like AnyDVD, MakeMKV, DVDFab, etc., to clone and decrypt the media. It’s “easy” for general consumers with $50 to burn on an LG WH14NS40, or similar, to backup decrypted copies of even UHD Blu-rays and then stream them locally with something like Plex, Jellyfin or Kodi. Pair that with backups and something capable of correcting corruption, like ZFS, and you’ve got incredibly long-term access to the media that you own.

Whereas when something streaming-exclusive is removed from whatever platform, you typically have no choice but to accept that it is gone or rely on piracy. Services like Netflix often make use of Widevine and restrict playback of full HD and UHD content to devices with Widevine L1 support.

While it is possible to decrypt L3 content using relatively accessible keys, such as the ones from browsers like Chrome, not only has this historically had a much higher barrier to entry, you won’t be getting the decent-quality versions. In order to do that, you’d need either some sort of exploit or insider-access at a manufacturer to get L1 decryption. They will invalidate known abused keys, so piracy groups tend to be very quiet about where and how they’ve managed to decrypt certain content.

All of that is also assuming that you’re willing to make illegal copies of content from streaming services and that you’ve thought enough about it ahead of time to do so prior to removal. And, of course, not to mention that the content available to L1 devices is often still significantly worse quality than what is available on Blu-ray (e.g., typical Netflix 4K streams are 15Mbps while 4K Blu-rays are usually around 80Mbps).

Anyway, I hope all of that didn’t come off too fanatical or ranty; I am just a bit passionate about the subject! I get where you’re coming from, and I do think it is disappointing that even physical media has so many restrictions in place.

That said, while I don’t like the DRM on Blu-ray and DVD, I think we shouldn’t be quite so pessimistic about physical media. It is not libre in any sense, and I recognize the cost of buying each and every single thing you enjoy is too cost prohibitive for the average person, I would be really sad to see this sort of thing eventually die off entirely. I think despite the annoyances, these discs are still really important for enthusiast viewers, people in remote/rural areas, and longer-term preservation.

Look - I have zero problem with a creator selling a product under their own terms.

I have a LOT of problems with having all of us enforce copyright for them (at society's expense - mind you) so that they can freaking rent you their product forever.

Basically - I think capitalism is structured to be efficient when you have to produce physical goods, and every copy incurs an unavoidable expense - which can be optimized through competition.

I think "modern capitalism" where the goal has obviously become: Extract as much value for as little cost as possible is an ethical quagmire when dealing with digital goods. The clear goal is for companies to keep the right to make zero-cost copies, and force consumers to rent a copy for an on-going permanent cost.

Where is the end game here? What is your plan when literally every item costs you a monthly charge, and you own nothing? Explain to me how that's not just a more complex form of slavery?

It's absolutely true that C++ is too big to keep in one's head, that doesn't mean people can't or don't care to do excellent programming in it. A good team can create quality products in any language. It's possible that your experience has the slight bias that teams that are already effective in C++ don't hire consultants to teach them C++ courses.
> I wonder if for command runner unnecessarily re-running dependencies is really a big deal.

I've used in in the past with python/django roughly like so (untested from memory, there may be a "last modified" bug in here that still makes something run unnecessarily):

.PHONY: runserver

environ:
python -m venv $@

environ/lib: requirements | environ
. environ/bin/activate && pip install -r $<
touch $@

runserver: | environ/lib
. environ/bin/activate && python manage.py runserver [foo]

Setting up these prerequisites takes a while and doing every time you start the dev server would be a pain, but not doing it and forgetting when requirements were updated is also a pain. This would handle both.

Yeah. The trick on the 386/486 is that the visible segment registers are only part of the actual registers. When you load a segment register, relevant data (base, limit, as far as I recall) from the descriptors get loaded into the invisible part (so a sort of "descriptor cache").

The "trick" was just to load the segment registers with a selector pointing to a descriptor with a large segment, and then just go back to real mode without immediately reloading the segment registers, as Intel very careful prescribes in their manual. The CPU would still use the unchanged hidden part of the registers for addressing. As soon as you load another value, that gets replaced with a real mode conformant 64k limit.

Anti-abuse, which every internet platform has to do, has a lot of overlap with intelligence/investigation work. Let’s say you want to indentify:

1. Covert networks of fake accounts on your site that are run by hostile governments attempting to destabilize a country

2. Human traffickers attempting to lure teenagers across national borders where they will be sold into slavery

etc…

You could probably benefit from having former FBI agents on your team.

Even if you don’t care about doing the right thing, the bad press and government scrutiny you will get from those problems is a lot worse than this article.
Completely agree. I've had about as much visibility as possible into the job of tech startup CEO from zero to 500+ employees, across two successful CEO transitions, and it's a very, very demanding role. Very few people have the skill and the experience to do it successfully, and they can make or break the company.

(Corollary: I also have a ton of respect for technical people who become successful CEOs, like Jay Kreps, Peter Zaitsev, Aaron Skonnard. I have a high opinion of my own abilities and I don't think I could do it.)

Maybe my phrasing was a bit clear (and maybe I'm misunderstanding the Wikipedia quote!), but I read it as saying "gojira" was two syllables, the second of which was "jira". I naively would have expected it to be three sillables, "go", "ji", and "ra", but maybe I was misreading the Wikipedia quote and it was just talking about "dz" and "ji" and not the entirety of "jira".
Cracking local software isn't gonna work in the function is in the cloud.
Good question, but as always, the answer is "it depends".

However, given how moving I find your username, I want to provide a few heuristics that I've personally found useful.

1. The merry-go-round

If you find yourself in a state of deep ambivalence, you're probably on the merry-go-round. Sometimes, the job is bearable. Other times, it makes you want to jump in front of a car. Try as you might, you stay put as you watch time slip through your fingers like sand. Much like an alcoholic struggling with drinking, you might swear off alcohol one minute just to find yourself drunk on the sidewalk the next minute. The situation is like a curse that you can't break.

2. Coping with burnout

There was this incredible answer to a previous thread, which I share here (https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=32035364). Once you look past the sarcasm, you can see that a really good point is being made. Not only is it difficult to act like you're not burning out when you are, you feel worse by pretending that things are fine. For that reason, I don't like the phrase, "fake it till you make it". In particular, if you're already mentally ill, smiling through the pain will only worsen the situation.

3. Mysterious culprit

Eastern philosophers are actually very diligent in their studies. They would never celebrate ignorance or apathy. Instead, they would advocate for a rigorous study of the truth, which may or may not yield an action to solve the problem. Because you've given no context, which is fine since you're entitled to privacy, I can only surmise that the truth is either too hard to bear or too difficult to verify. For myself, I find it easy to accept hard truths. The inability to verify something is like a figment of your imagination haunting you. You are so pre-occupied with the belief that the cause of your problem lies in one place, that you'll fail to see the real source of your problems. As the saying goes, if you try the same thing over and over while expecting different results, that is the definition of madness.

There is no silver bullet solution to your problems. You're in a bind, and the way forward will be very painful. Introspection is your greatest tool because trying to control a situation is the fastest way to get sick. Bon chance, mon ami!
It is yet to be seen whether they mean anything at all.
> 'Seizing' is a legal term, where your property is taken and held by the government

Doesn't that perfectly describe civil asset forfeiture? (What the parent was talking about when referring to "seizure", not the wiretap stuff in this case.)

> So there's precedent for 'metadata' about people to be open to government without a warrant (especially if they are open to members of the public anyways)

Phone/messaging records are not open to members of the public, though.

> * And frankly it wouldn't be until 1967 that any substantive restriction was finally put on government use of electronic communications.*

Is that even necessary, though? I mean, we don't need to have a law on the books that says the US President must be 35 years or older; that's in the Constitution. Just like "no unreasonable searches or seizures". Certainly law can help codify and clarify specifically what a search consists of. But I think it's pretty uncontroversial to argue that much of what the US government does vacuuming up electronic data should constitute a "search".
This would probably break too much of the ecosystem, since many top Python packages include native extensions that can only be built with a dynamic `setup.py`.

Wheels are solving that problem, but it's likely going to be many years before warning about `setup.py` is reasonable and not disruptive to the majority of legitimate users.
A few weeks back I was sent a home assignment by a company and it was a full blown production level program. If someone asked me to do it, I would charge them a minimum of $10,000. And it required I pay for an API, complete testing, caching, Dockerized, and a laundry list of other requirements. And it certainly would take a lot longer than a few hours.

The most reasonable company I have dealt with was Trip Ninja, an Amazon gift card for my time. Regrettably I tripped up, and messed up the test, timed tests are my Achilles heel.
Of course, the US can’t really fight inflation in the short term that is completely global and because of supply chain issues and energy markets going haywire because of Russia’s I’ll advised warring.

That being said the US is doing better on inflation than nearly every comparable country in the world.

So whining about Dems and inflation is kind of pointless.

The only action Dems could take to reduce inflation would be to deliberately cause a recession, but the Fed already has much better tools, a fraction of the political pressure, and much better systems and minds to manage the slowing down inflation/causing a recession balance.

And frankly as the latest numbers show they’re doing a good job so far.
Copyright was never meant to be perpetual, it nominally expires. The Walt Disney corporation has paid Congress to extend copyright essentially indefinitely to prevent works from falling into the public domain. Most importantly is "Steamboat Willie", the first work with Mickey Mouse in it.

As long as Congress continues to cash the checks that Walt Disney writes, copyright is an indefinite protection.

On the other hand, federal employees are not paid very well and live in a high-cost area. Some are true believers, making their country or the world better by being a public servant and will stay for 40 years.

And, for the cans, it then cures in place. The BPA is like a catalyst and doesn't bind with the material, which is what allows it to leach out so well.

Polyethylene, in addition to being a safer molecule, uses catalysts which don't end up in the final product, which means you can't be exposed to them.

I understand your point. But I think this could have been an unintended lost-in-translation kind of mistake?

The U.S English definition of 'Latino' is different from the Latin American Spanish meaning of 'Latino/Latinoamericano'.

Maybe they meant to say "Latinos en Estados Unidos", and translated it as "US Latinos" instead of "Latin Americans in the US".

Ah, you think it was intended for "security"? I always imagined one of two things:

1) Intel didn't bother implementing or properly verifying that all the state transitions from protected to real mode work perfectly. But just the existence of LOADALL, and its use, pretty much completely invalidates that theory. Especially now that I learned from your article that ICEs were running the CPU in protected mode...

2) They really, really wanted to lure people away from real mode, and show protected mode as the future. Real mode being deprecated, ideally you would only use it to bootstrap into protected mode and nothing else. Somewhat related to that is the very exotic Intel 80376, which was essentially a 80386 with only protected mode! https://www.pagetable.com/?p=460
