Yes. Everyone adjacent to this field has known for a long time that it's just a bunch of charlatans and liars looking to prey on older people and people with disabilities.

There are so many startups (like say https://www.neurotrackerx.com/) devoted to taking people's money based on nonsense "science". Where even if the science was true, the effect sizes are so small as to be meaningless.
It is soooo expensive what was about $1/hour in China.
International phone numbers can be up to 15 digits, but in most places the rules narrow them down further.

For example in the UK the country code is 44, all mobile phone numbers start with 7, with 9 digits after that.

The middle class in America was only cash flow positive in the 1950s-1970s.

And the story of a shoe shine boy working his way up to head of a brokerage doesn't exist anymore since university degrees act as gate keepers.

I guess IT, if someone had the free time (requires positive cash flow), they could program their way to glory. But even then, I am not sure how they would compete against Softbank style VC-funded startups with 0% cost of capital.
Really, how did you find the site?
>like the freedom to speak your mind, or job security

Nope, it only works as long as you play along with the political games the University administration is playing. Speak out too much and you will find problems getting funding/equipment/people and will be stuck in a basement office working on a 10-year-old laptop.

It gets worse, if you refuse to kiss ass to a particular boss in industry, you can always shop around and find another job. As long as you are competent and know how to sell yourself, you will be fine. In academia, one ruined relation can permanently screw up your entire career. I wouldn't call it freedom. I would dare say, a fairly recognizable blog in a relevant area, and a professional network of ~50 people will give you orders of magnitude more freedom than any kind of academic track record.

>Since you've put yourself in the position of measuring your dick against Lemire's, what's your most influential research publication?

Well, I didn't start it, but since you want to engage in penisometry, I managed to create a product and build a business around it, that pays more than a salaried job would. And I would dare say, comparing academic citations to paying customers is like being paid in monopoly money vs. the real thing. But I realize that the risk/reward ratio of this approach is not for everyone, so I normally prefer to keep my dick in my pants.
We have our CI run a helm —-dry-run —-debug before the deploy step, so we can see the exact kubernetes resources that are going to be applied. You can even save that as an artifact so you can diff it later.
Do AppLovin stock holders prior to the acquisition see a massive price decrease in their shares?

How to Become a ‘Modern Real Estate Agent’ [audio]
Here's a typical example of the pain of Java language evolution. As an ex-Perl developer and frequent user of Ruby and Python I am accustomed to being able to write a regex without having to escape metacharacters such as \d (digit) and \w (word character) as is necessary in Java where regular expressions are merely strings fed into the Pattern.compile() method. So imagine my elation when I discovered that raw string literals were being previewed in Java 13. Then imagine my horror when I discovered that regex metacharacters somehow missed the party and STILL had to be escaped inside raw string literals. WTF!?
You can take solace in the fact that at least one member of the HN community went on wikipedia to read about turbomolecular pumps.

Interesting devices. They seem to be quite expensive, many thousands of dollars [1]. Did you consider buying insurance for your turbomolecular pump?

If you have other high value devices, maybe you can look to insure them. You never know. Better to collect insurance than to start shooting people.

The data on this website has been verified as wildly inaccurate by many many people. It often produces very fake data (including CSAM!) that most certainly was never downloaded from a particular IP. Sometimes it shows nothing when it should, sometimes it appears 100% accurate, sometimes it's a bit of both, and sometimes it's completely inaccurate. Never trust anything you see here, believing ANY of it could be very dangerous.
Some of the other comments have good suggestions for scripts and tools. I'd like to offer a slightly different opinion.

Make your Anki cards one at a time. Quality over quantity.

It's very easy to add 10,000 words and translations/definitions into Anki using import tools and scripts. If this works for you, great! But I often see people do this and then a month later feel totally crushed by hundreds of reviews information completely out of context.

Instead, try studying and only make a card when you have an "Aha!" moment. "Oh, that's what that word means" or "Ahh, I see how the past tense works". Ideally, cards should feel a little bit too easy when you make them. It should feel like you're never going to forget the new word that came up 20 times in this chapter of your textbook. Of course, after a week or so your memory will be a bit more fuzzy and the Anki card will be a helpful reminder to prevent forgetting.

A bonus of this method is that now doing Anki reviews is like remembering all your best hits and moments you were really clever. It's the complete opposite of a grind.
> However, you're testing the speed to print something, not the application.

I'm testing what impact modifications to the application have, to better understand what is and isn't contributing to the original application's performance and bottlenecks. I've shown how far I have to modify the original to actually start to hit I/O bottlenecks, which by extension, also shows how little they contribute to the bottlenecks of the original application, despite people looking to blame it for the "C" vs "C++" differences elsewhere in the discussion tree.

> I'm assuming they wanted to include the process start and teardown.

And there are interesting discussions to have about that in terms of breaking down OS overhead, API overhead, first launch vs subsequent launches, etc. - none of which the original post bothered with. We could peek at a more realistic workflow involving, say, an xargs-spammed executable processing a piped stream, if we really wanted to simulate a startup/teardown heavy workload. We could fire up `perf` to prepare to profile - I at least installed the frontend before realizing actually using it on wsl requires compiling stuff.

The post didn't bother with any of that. And to be fair, I didn't bother too much either. Low-effort on my part as well ;)
Meta provides direct API access for publishing content to Facebook pages [0] and, more recently, to Instagram accounts [1]. Any third party company can apply for access and use these apis as long as they comply with Meta's terms of service and data security requirements, which have become stricter in the last few years (for each individual api permission you must submit documentation and evidence of how your app will use the permissions, and must provide a way for Facebook to log in to your app and test the functionality).

LinkedIn provides similar access, as well as Twitter, and other social networks.

There are literally hundreds of companies that provide functionality similar to Buffer and Hootsuite, including scheduling for future publishing which is not forbidden at all. (Source: I run one of these services.)

The confusion may arise because until 2021 it wasn't possible to publish directly to Instagram. Before that only some big players like Hootsuite and Buffer had direct access to the publishing api, and some less than reputable companies used unsanctioned hacks to schedule Instagram content. But in 2021 Instagram opened their publishing api to other third party apps.

It's not a trick. Incident response (not vulnerability announcement) is all about evidence. If you can't prove it, it didn't happen. They can probably stil take precautionary measures though which the announcement is part of.

What a shame that google is posting this on the android.com domain. Not only is RCS broken and regressive, google does not even ship a reference implementation in AOSP. They haven't updated their stock AOSP apps in a decade. So why should Apple implement some proprietary backwards standard that google only implements in their proprietary app ?
We are way to stupid to solve this riddle but I'm rather optimistic we could build something that solves it or at least build something that can build something that solves it.

I'm looking forwards to all the "easy" things it will figure out and stick us in a loop of "why didn't anyone think of that?" Something like the nth generation ML offspring solving the building of viable neurons at scale by breeding some single cell organism.
The corollary to this argument is that most environmental issues routinely blamed on individual behavior pale in comparison to the externalities from industry and commerce

People talk shutting off the faucet while brushing one's teeth but ~70% of global freshwater usage comes from agriculture and ~20% from industry, with municipalities accounting for only 10%
Before we go further, we need to define "rich". The American Dream, as I've understood it, is: house, car, 2 kids, retirement. Previously that's not been rich, that's just been what ordinary people should be expected to achieve. If it was riches you wanted, it was off to college you went.

But today, home ownership is out of reach for a lot of younger people. And a lot of older people are finding that retirement isn't an option. Ditching the kids can help a bit--a lot of people wait longer to start families or don't start them at all.

So, when we say "sure, you may not be able to be rich yourself", what is it exactly that we mean we can't have?

Basically, yeah, but with the difference that these sysadmins are generalizing and abstracting the patterns they've learned over years.

I personally think of "devops" not quite so much as being about "dev" and "ops" collaborating (though that is a noble and worthwhile goal) as about having "developer-operators", people who know how to do operations effectively and who can turn that knowledge into automated, generalized software systems.

The abstract modules and tools can live in their own repositories (or folders, in a monorepo), and your devoperators can work closely with the product teams to use them (and abstract specific changes to meet projects' individual needs to be more generally applicable).

I just went on fb groups for my local neighborhood - highest upvoted pick I chose. That was 4 cars ago still take my cars there. Was a dealership user before that myself.

I knew he was trustworthy because I asked him to explain what he was doing and why. He went into great detail. Brought an unidentifiable problem to him and he found a corroded wire vs 700 in repairs the dealer suggested. Just little things like that will let you know. Check their certificates, make sure at least ASCE (sp) certified.

Also take a look at the shop and see what cars are in the lot. Bunch of 5-10 year old cars in great shape seems to be a good sign IMO as people who take care of their cars trust the mechanic
But it can still be mitigated.

E.g. when hiring or choosing who to admit to an academic program, drop reference letters: they’re largely proof of whether you know wealthy people or not.

Or blind the application process: don’t let screeners see the names of applicants because that can reveal a lot of info.

> They can then proceed to use it in the small service-specific Terraform configuration, which really is just putting such ready-made modules together.

now, a new requirement comes in for the product team(s) - a new service which bulk reads/processes another team's data (e.g., an export service).

Turns out this is too slow if the bulk reads use the usual web api route. So direct access to another team's provisioned database is required.

This now falls onto the platform team to produce a method for doing so.

Imagine this, but multiplied by N, where N is the number of different features being worked on at the same time, and all of them needs time from the platform team to produce something new for them!

A lot has happened with RCS since that random article.

* All of the major US carriers announced that they'd ship Google Messages by default on android phones (including RCS). I believe Verizon was the last one [1].

* Google enabled end-to-end encryption by default for 1:1 chats [2]. They've said that e2e for group chats is coming later this year [3].

* Samsung replaced their own messaging client with a tweaked version of Google Messages on the S22 (edit: in the US) [4]. Samsung Messages already supported RCS, but I'm not sure if it supported Google's extensions like e2e.

And as others have mentioned: this isn't about Google wanting Apple to replace iMessage with RCS; it's about Google wanting Apple to support RCS as iMessage fallback in addition to the existing SMS support. Apple to Apple would certainly still be iMessage.

Well, you misunderstood me.

I agree that GitHub’s actions are not regulated by the constitution or criminal.

Additionally I imagine Guthub’s contract terms are such that they can cancel at any time for any reason.

What I intended to say is “I agree the poster who complains of retroactive account deletion. We can look to the constitutional process for some reasons why retroactive punishment might be a bad idea.”

I did not mean to imply that GitHub’s actions were unconstitutional. They were bad actions for the same reasons that the constitution bars retroactive punishment. It’s hard to guide current behavior based on future law. They were likely legal.
No, because the acquisition makes AppLovin more valuable. If merging with Unity makes AppLovin $17.5B more valuable than it was previously, then the existing stock's value doesn't change.

Of course, the market may disagree on the value in either direction.

Mergers are weird.

I once was in an interview and the interviewer said "We're going to play a game." I got up and left. Fizzbuzz is a dumb and useless game and if an interviewer uses that as the benchmark for hiring then they waste the interviewee's time.

It would only go in half if they issued double the shares and didn’t get any assets.

In this case, the expectation is that the value of Unity equals roughly the value of the issued shares.

White text on green is significantly different - the older green bubbles with black text are noticeably clearer IMO, even if I also find it unlikely it was done deliberately to make SMS look bad.

Well, natural gas storage is months worth, so that capacity would be there if we needed it. It's going to depend on latitude.

We can look at a model to see how much long term storage is optimal (under various cost assumptions) to deliver a constant output, using historical weather data.

https://model.energy/

For the US, the minimum cost model using 2011 weather data and 2030 cost assumptions uses 6 hours of battery storage and 106 hours of hydrogen storage. For someplace at high latitude, more hydrogen gets used, since it becomes economical to save energy from summer to winter. In Finland, for example, the optimal solution has 2 hours of batteries and 275 hours of hydrogen. On the other side, the solution for Saudi Arabia uses 10 hours of batteries and 48 hours of hydrogen.
The valuation (based on the trading price of each stock) of the combined companies is more than the $18 billion (it can vary in exciting ways).

That's indeed what we do in our CI but it gets very hairy and the end result is often subpar in nuanced ways. E.g. signing a bundle which required us to upgrade our whole CI infrastructure because we had to move to a newer VM.

The bundle is huge because it needs to include a JRE and JavaFX. The install process and bundle building is complex. Especially with signing. And you need to do it all for every platform.
What I really want to happen is for an independent, secure, ideally federated messaging system (matrix maybe?) to become ubiquitous and replace SMS and iMessage. Sadly, I don't have much hope that will happen anytime soon.

I agree with internalizing externalities, but let's not pretend that isn't part of individual behavior (consumer demand drives industry), or that individuals don't benefit from them in some way.
I find this hard to believe, setting up SSO was a piece of cake with Github. Sure you have some issues during the setup, but once it’s there it never changes.

Then again, Github also chargea you $20/month instead of $4/month if you want SSO in a small org, but it’s possible.

You're getting closer. Suburban supermarkets might be unfeasible without long-haul trucking. That's just another example of the public subsidizing the suburban lifestyle, which is unsustainable without fossil fuels and public subsidies.

Integrated GPUs with shader support (Intel HD graphics, not GMA) are fine for web browsing and programming work, which is what I spend most of my time on. In laptops with switchable graphics, sticking with integrated graphics can save power consumption. And additionally they're not anywhere near as scalped/overpriced as discrete gaming GPUs, or as horrible value as low-end GPUs (I suspect some of the price comes from the cost of a display adapter and media decoder/encoder). Though integrated graphics are subpar for gaming or compute for sure.
This link is not particularly relevant, as it talks about how the phrase "no evidence" is used within a specific community and that community has little overlap with the community which writes press releases after security incidents.

Security incident response teams do not have the same strange distinction between "real" evidence and the non-published non-peer-reviewed evidence which cannot be relied on or even really mentioned.
