I don't agree with the message this person is accused of spreading, but this is the new reality:

“Andy Slavitt suggested they had seen data viz [visualization] that had showed he was the epicenter of disinfo that radiated outwards to the persuadable public.”

The government can (mostly because of the internet, facebook etc), and are, mapping social influence networks, and then targeting 'nodes' they don't like. In this particular case you might well say 'good riddance' or whatever, but I think this practice is extremely dangerous.
Oh I’m sure you’re being logged. It’s a question of if you’re logged in.
People have been saying this all year. The direction clearly down. Why would funds want bitcoin when stocks have much smoother, more consistent returns. I would rather own amazon stock than bitcoin, the performance of amazon since IPO is comparable to bitcoin too. Once a fad is over, people tend to not return. Like gold in 1979.
As an informed guess: backward compatibility.

This way an SQLite library which has never heard of a WAL2 file will just use WAL mode instead, instead of potentially being confused by the unheard-of existence of multiple .wal files.

If you have a valid passport and a proof of address in the USA, you are able to open a bank account with Pana and even some big banks. What we've seen is that its 10x more difficult with these big banks.
Ah ok first point makes perfect sense.

How do we know we had rings around earth for so long? And where did they go?
All of the recent high-scale data infrastructure projects I've been involved in are written in C++17 or C++20. Mostly fast-twitch analytical database engines and related data processing systems. This is still the go-to language for that kind of systems software, no other programming language is as feature-rich and expressive for that purpose.

The other language that gets used a lot is Python for tooling and similar.

Cash is unwieldy in large amounts, which is why most authorities don't care about cash transactions. When cash is used at scale for anonymous transactions (e.g., when the US airlifted cargo planes full of cash to Iraq in 2004 to pay government workers without an Iraqi paper trail), it is international news.

If tornado cash were just obscuring transactions that could have conceivably been finalized with cash by private parties (~<$10K USD), I guarantee that no one in authority would give a shit.
Join a smaller company that’s writing greenfield code. There’s still legacy stuff to deal with there, too, but the proportions will be more favorable.

The adage “legacy code is anything committed to trunk” is informative; larger, longer-lived codebases/companies just have more old stuff by their nature.
> Aging

I started kayaking this year.

It’s good on the joints, and my first motivation to train upper body strength.

The world champion is in his early twenties and rows twice as fast as me. But 8 of 10 people at the club who row the farthest every year are 65-75 years old. (There are some late-40s men, too.)

My goal is to beat 70 year olds at kayaking, i.e. aging well. It takes decades of kayaking every day to get their health. Probably another couple of years before I beat them on speed!
It makes sense what you say, but I still have doubts. Are you saying that not all x86 instructions are implemented in microcode? And wouldn't shader language be a perfect target for custom microcode, etc.
Context: I write rust professionally I have no plan of coming back to cpp.

Cpp still has the (huge) advantage of maturity. Rust is great but still half-backed. Things like thread-local-storage, custom allocators and async are either unstable or incredibly rough around the edges.

Finally, my experience has been that third-party libraries in cpp are fewer but of greater quality than the ones in rust. There are many many libraries available in rust due to the amazing dependency system. But the average quality is quite poor.

In cpp you tend to be conservative when adding dependencies which means you have a much better understanding of the code you run. Or, you write your own code that’s usually custom made for your purpose, which generally end up as being more performant.
IME, meaning is far more satiating than happiness simply because it is able to offset more BS than being happy will.

More to your question: what happens is your tolerance for meaninglessness decreases, which has good and bad side effects.
Oh nice, and it has a much more complete list of alternatives too. [1]

Min-maxing is a reliable way to suck the fun out of most things for me, too. Way back in High School my friends and I would get together and play bridge. We were certainly competitive, and became decent players, but it was as much about the trash-talking and socializing as about who won or lost.

Later I took a course with an ACBL life master, and learned the complex and completely artificial bidding systems and other ways to communicate every possible bit of information through quirky and limited channels. I guess some people find that fun, but to me it was mechanical and WORK. The game was less of a game.
Ah, damn, that's all the scientists, they got every single one. And some professionals too, wow. That's it, then. The changing climate isn't an emergency, it's actually all good. Make sure to let those people whose homes burned down in wildfires know. I guess the Arctic melting[1] is cool too, we'll do that ice-cube thing from futurama.

At least we can still be safe today in the knowledge that the ocean is filling up with plastic and rain is unsafe to drink. I sure hope no consortium of cranks signs some document to say that isn't a big deal either.

It's not that I'm so conserned with my points really. Just sometimes it sucks if people disapprove of what you said and you're not sure why. It's usually enough if just one person leaves a comment. Sometimes these things are just hard for me to interpret and it frustrates me a bit.
There are too many to really point out any in particular. Here is an LGPO text file for my machine policies. These can be converted to a Policy Analyzer .PolicyRules file using LGPO.exe I believe to get more input as to what they are used for. You also have to add those policy templates (ADMX), which I have a few added for Zoom, Chrome, Firefox, LibreOffice, Office, Edge, etc.

I have never personally used asdf, but working as DevOps I had to help many fellow Devs untangle their environments because they messed up with asdf and everything broke down. One time someone installed it on a build server to try to manage python binaries and all builds stopped working.

Maybe if I got some time to explore the tool I would have a better appreciation for it, but from my experience it is too easy to mess things up.

Wealthy investors have been able to buy bitcoin at least as far back as 2015-2018 using futures or other ways. By now, it's too late and the price is clearly still falling. Anyone who wanted bitcoin would have bought by now. Just sellers remain.
These are fair points and I believe there are similar laws in the US.
Not an expert, but that rings true. Probably environmental impact of a huge volume of air sucked into the cone and fed into a high-speed grinder should be factored in as well.
That's not my experience at all. Before role queue it was common to get yelled at for not choosing a class that would fit into 2-2-2 meta. I quit around the time role queue came out so maybe it has improved?
You're good at maintaining legacy code. Probably the best way would be to switch jobs, but even then you'll probably find that most code is legacy code.

Look again. Their very own data doesn’t support your attempt to blame those darned racist conservatives.

The parent comment link allows you to view responses by political affiliation and answers by conservatives skew greatly to a more “positive” view of Asian Americans over the past 12 months.

Just a reminder to check your biases. Everything you don’t like isn’t caused by the other political party.
The US could have both a large military and decent universal health care. We choose to have an economically exploitive healthcare system and retirement with the politicians we elect.

It would cost the US less as a society to have universal healthcare rather than the horror we have now.
> The only mistake he made was buying the house with the tenants still inside.

I'm not sure how strong tenant protection is in India, but here in the Netherlands, it's well-understood that purchasing a property is not a valid reason to evict its tenants. Rental properties are sold and purchased with the understanding that they are investments, and that the property owners will not be able to live there (unless the tenants voluntarily leave).
It's not that. It's because they are optimized for low pressure differentials.

Absolutely, a more interesting tidbit is this -

Telecom companies cannot take small subscribers to court in India. You don't pay your bills, they can send legal notices, but not much beyond that. We have ~1B+ subscribers. Even if a small percentage goes into dispute, our judicial system will completely collapse.
I am (new as in 3-4 years old) - a shared library compiler for a text language, CLI for easy access to compiler and a visual editor for a graph/node-based representation of the text language, used for audio programming primarily in games - built on LLVM (For the compiler) and JUCE (for the graphics).

The shared library has few dependencies outside of LLVM so that it can be as portable as possible, and the runtime hooks are all C and only depend on c stdlib so maximum portability, even to embedded systems.

Video game stuff still frequently uses C++, and also to support consoles, handhelds, quest/etc, C++ just makes sense because it's supported EVERYWHERE (though the compiler doesn't need to run everywhere, so that's more a concern for the runtime).

We're using conan which is FANTASTIC and finally a good package manager for C++, and C++17 (will upgrade to C++19 soon, but still not quite stable/widely supported enough for my taste).

In my world, this whole "C++ is no longer a viable option" meme is just not true. We all hope that Rust or what google is working on might replace C++ but when we discuss it we're talking on the order of 10+ years.
I once did an interview with a company that wanted me to do a homework assignment. It was obvious from the problem that it wasn't just a way to find out if you could code, but was a real problem the company was facing.

I spent a couple hours on it, but I realized that in order to get it working and tested, it would require many more hours of work. I started peppering the code with comments like /* here I would verify the validity of the data by doing X */ to show them I knew what needed to be done without doing all the grunt work.

I sent the code, but the manager got back to me and said he expected finished code that actually worked and not just pseudo code. I politely told him that I would gladly do the work if he wanted to pay me my fee I usually charge for contract work.

He declined so the company did not get a bunch of free consulting work, which I think was the point of the exercise. Too many companies get away with this.
Unless you want to serve thousands of requests per second on the toaster you just installed NetBSD on. In that case a well written C++ socket multiplexer is a good choice.

Remember that network latency only affects, well, latency. Throughput is another matter.
Have you spoken with management about your concern? Maybe they can help you spread the load amongst the folks doing the AWS migration, allowing you to take on some of that work. If they object you can frame it as cross-training or ensuring redundancy in case of emergency.
You missed the step where you take money from richer people, and then give that money to poorer people.

Across all goods/services, that means richer people would be able to consume less, and poorer people would be able to consume more. Whether or not people sacrifice eating Dijon mustard is up to them.

The goal is not to guarantee Dijon mustard for everyone, the goal is to mitigate how poor poorer people are.

The other way to bring down Dijon mustard prices is for the government to increase supply of Dijon mustard, or remove whatever is restricting supply of Dijon mustard.
Expressing interest is not enough. Everyone wants to work on the exciting projects. You need to come up with ideas, get involved, and fight to work on the new projects.
I'm not asking to be paid for the interview, I'm asking to be paid for doing contract work.

Have you had discussions about this with your manager, and made it clear you're interested in working on different things? How did it go? You probably have more agency in this situation than you think.
Because internal search costs a lot of money. Google has millions of search servers costing billions of dollars just for the hardware.
It's still possible for me, I think @NowhereMan just didn't realise the email field could be left blank. Dark pattern working as intended, most likely.
It's hard to say without knowing you!

It might be because they see in you very strong skill with old flaky code that others are not trusted to fix but it could be that they see you as old-fashioned, uninterested or unmotivated and therefore they don't "feel" that you will be the right person for new stuff.

You could always build some things and then talk to the bosses and ask them. If they can't give you an answer, it is likely to be a negative reason but if they can say e.g. "we didn't know that you knew this new stuff", you can show them what you have been working on.

Noam or no Noam this is pretty well known. Enterprise Risk and Compliance departments for major banks and financial institutions are a a revolving door of lobbyists, regulators, and executives, and they all participate in the draft process of the legislation.

It's about time Big Tech caught up to what the rest of what large corporations in America do. Gotta start paying off those politicians and drafting regulation to lock out all those pesky startups.

I assume this is a command-line application? c++ does have a cross-platform GUI problem, unless you pay for the Qt license that is, which is itself a heavy ecosystem to master.
I suggest two things. You can either do both, or pick one.

1: Go work for a startup, or an otherwise young company. Just remember to screen the company very carefully, because working for a startup is inherently a little more risky than a large, stable, mature company.

2: In your 1-1s with your manager, make it abundantly clear that you're unhappy working on legacy technology and that you'd like to transfer to a team working on a newer stack. At the same time, network within your company to find a team that's working on a newer stack. There may be an internal job board you can look at too. (If your manager blocks you transferring to another team, see #1.)
> where no one had ever been arrested just for writing open source code.

But was he arrested for _just_ the code he wrote? Or more, and the code was just an ancillary property of the person being arrested?
There’s a small minority of people who do that -- not 20% of the population, but large enough to influence statistics. I wouldn't be surprised if that was 20% of women between 15 and 45-year-old. They also buy clothes that they never wear (other than trying). I’ve seen estimates as high as for some people, they never wear 40% of the clothes that they buy before disposing of them.

On the other end, I’m also surprised by the “one-year” thing: most of my clothes are more than five-year-old and they are fine. For underwear and t-shirts, I typically wear them once a week.
Zipcar Down
Complete internal IT meltdown it seems, and many people not able to unlock (or lock) their booked cars.

https://twitter.com/search?q=zipcar&f=live

Seems it is worldwide as reports from both UK and US in there.

Their app isn't showing active reservations, which prevents you using the app from locking/unlocking it.

My reservation started 1h30m ago and I haven't been able to get into the car. That's my weekend plans hosed and a wasted hotel booking that I doubt I'll be able to get a refund on.

Kind of unrelated but in a lot of ways I feel like an OFAC designation is a bill of attainder that is only legal because it’s used exclusively against foreigners.

1. Designate a businessman as an SDN

2. Wait for them to conduct some transaction that uses dollars or involves any American company in some way (if you know about correspondent banking you know this will almost inevitably
happen)

3. Wait for them to travel to country friendly with America

4. Extradite for conspiring to violate IEEPA

This has happened before (see US v. Tajideen). It seems like there should be some kind of legal case against this which may happen now given all of the rich Russians that are having their stuff seized on this basis.

Edit: And the interesting thing is that the Treasury Department accused Tajideen of being a Hezbollah financier which they could have charged him with when he was extradited from Morocco but they didn’t which to me makes it seem like there wasn’t much of a basis for his designation to begin with.
Gravity had them I guess. Saturn's going to lose the rings as well, and "soon" (hundreds or thousands of years).
The book is "Through the Language Glass", which I agree is very good.
If you don't want to do something, don't learn how (or don't admit to knowing).

Candidly though, any project with the word "migration" in the name is not one I'd be salivating at. Those are all long slogs of tedious fiddling, in my experience.

You may need to complain more. If you don't like what you're working on, say so.
No. College tuition is lend people unlimited amount of taxpayer’s money with no underwriting -> colleges increase prices as much as possible without getting too much political blowback in the immediate term. And then taxpayers eat the loss via loan forgiveness or decreased purchasing power of the USD as interest rates and repayment terms are continuously relaxed.
They've been able to easily get clean exposure for a long time now. You have ETFs (BITO), pseudo-ETF (GBTC), exposed companies (MSTR, COIN, VOYG.TO, SI, SBNY to some extent) and fully dependent companies (especially miners: RIOT, MARA, etc)

That was a large part of the 2021 bubble.
My gmail account is very old (got it quite early in the beta phase). Recently it gets flooded with very easy to filter spam: no text, only an image from a randomly generated one-time email address. If they can't filter such an easy class then don't hold out much hope for the future.
Hmm. I actually had the opposite experience. I've been using Gentoo for decades now and haven't found it to be problematic at all. What did you find annoying about it long-term?

I tried Arch and found the divide between distribution packages and AUR to be strange. I assume distribution packages are trustworthy, but a lot of things aren't available there, so you have to use AUR. But my understanding is that AUR is all user contributed and unvetted, so it's essentially like the olden days of downloading an exe and hoping for the best. Unless you go to the effort of scrutinizing every script, I guess.

Updates seem to be hit or miss too. I had some AUR packages that suddenly failed with circular dependency issues and later a full system update made the machine unbootable, which wasn't tons of fun. That's when I went back to Gentoo. :P

To be fair, though, I stopped using Arch after about a couple of months. I could be remembering things wildly incorrectly when it comes to the package management stuff. Unbootable update, though, I remember vividly!
