"Where is such block storage available? Seems fantastical...?"

SAN vendors have been selling devices that deliver thin provisioned network block devices you can snapshot, clone, resize dynamically and replicate in a cluster for about 20 years now. Third parties can do all of this in cloud environments as well. See Netapp Cloud Volumes. You could roll your own using Ceph, or even a ghetto version with a subset of these capabilities with thin provisioned LVM+iSCSI, DRBD etc.

You should be able to point and click a thin provisioned, dynamically expandable, snapshot-able, clone-able, replicate-able pay as you go network block device with whatever degree of performance, availability and capacity you wish to pay for. The fact that you can't is a function of the business model and mentality of IaaS cloud operators; they don't want your old fashioned 'stateful' workloads. Neither does kubernetes. So you're swimming against the current.
Yes, when I was in college (mid-1970s), turning in anything handwritten was forbidden, you had to use a typewriter. Electronic anything, of course, was unheard of; back then the only computer was the big IBM in the computing center and computer science was a subgroup of the math department.

Nowadays the most common use for my printer at home is making Amazon return labels.
It's a net positive in that it is the only thing stopping Google from having complete dominance of the web. Both are problems that need to be solved

You can build a simple Doppler radar yourself today using a couple of SDRs, but sophisticated phased arrays are the kind of thing that makes for pretty good military equipment. I doubt an open one will come on the market (legally) soon.

Not really, all modern OS's are C virtual machines.
"Yes" and "No" are just shorthand forms of all sorts of longer sentences like:

"What you said is true."

"I agree with what you said."

"What you said is false."

"I will do what you said."

"I will not do what you said."

"I did that."

"I didn't do that."

"The ball is blue."

"The ball isn't blue."
Now that you've hit cloud scale, engineering leadership can make the case for budget for an ops hire to keep the thing working. Bigger headcount is always a plus.
But wasn't the whole point of cryptocurrencies to be anonymus? or am I missing something here?
>Most devs have a shit ton of projects, code etc to show.

I question how true that is.

In any case, GitHub as resume basically tells applicants that if you don't work in open source for your day job and don't have the time/inclination to do coding as a hobby, don't bother applying. Which is going to be pretty discriminatory against a number of demographics.

It's fine if someone wants to show off some project, but it shouldn't be a mandatory filter.
FWIW: My first thought when reading this was that it read like something Putin & co have said over the years.
Their being shy is of no consequence, it doesn't necessitate an imperative for self-censorship on the part of the Westerner on the conceit that some outsider interest groups hypothetically might not like x/y/z.
I'm very open to the idea that they are. I'm asking whether there's evidence.
My most horrible abuse of `make` was to write a batch job runner.

Most of the targets in the Makefile had a command to kick off the job and wait for it to finish (this was accomplished with a Python script since kicking off a job involved telling another application to run the job) followed by a `touch $@` so that make would know which jobs it had successfully run. If a process had dependencies these were declared as you'd expect.

The other targets in the Makefile lashed those together into groups of processes, all the way up to individual days and times. So "monday-9pm" might run "daily-batch", "daily-batch" would have "daily-batch-part-1" (etc), and each "daily-batch-part-..." would list individual jobs.

It was awful. It still is awful because it works so well that there's been no need to replace it. I keep having dreams of replacing it, but like they say there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

All of this was inspired by someone who replaced the rc scripts in their init system with a Makefile in order to allow processes to start in parallel while keeping the dependencies in the right order.
This is hard to do in the general case: the compilation steps often need system dependencies or to otherwise query system state to do the right thing, which means that the sandbox has to accurately reflect the host.

In terms of hooks, audit hooks and events[1] get us some of the way there. But they can be circumvented as well; I wouldn't rely on them for untrusted code.

Saying they abandoned Facebook is not really accurate, it isn't like the same cohort had Facebook accounts and then left. More accurate to say that Facebook is no longer attracting new teen users at nearly the rate they used to.
This is the exact kind of tool I would have loved to have had during my math undergrad. And as a fellow developer, I applaud you for taking on the challenge of working with PDFs, especially in non-trivial ways, on arbitrary PDFs no-less. Anytime a client/employer mentions anything involving programmatic PDF manipulation/access, I try my best to convince them it's probably not a good idea, but if I have to, I do a little prayer that I can find a straightforward solution with an existing library - otherwise, lower level PDF munging quickly ventures into a flavor of tech-cowboy hell.

> Another potential concern is that other PFAS are now in use. For example, hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO, also known as a ‘GenX’ chemical) is often used to replace PFOA in manufacturing processes, while perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS) is used as a replacement for PFOS. New PFAS also continue to be developed. These chemicals haven’t been around long enough for researchers to fully understand if they might have the same (or even different) health effects.

When I’m thinking through a hard problem something I’ve learned to feel/notice is an oncoming massive migraine unless I supplement some magnesium, multivitamin, nootropics or easy to digest amino acids to give my brain the essential elements it needs to perform. I recall our bodies do not produce magnesium. This advice is on top of being properly hydrated, otherwise I will have impaired cognition and brain fog until proper hydration + supplementation is achieved.

Can anyone relate?
>Standards or diversity, pick one.

This is highly reductive. What you're really saying is that some practices benefit one ideal to the detriment of the other, and that's a problem and a fair complaint, but it is an unrealistic and negative/provocative leap to imply they are 100% mutually exclusive.
This is great, is that a good area to move into? Built a few toy projs along these lines on the binary analysis side but never looked further up the chain. How does it handle dynamic analysis?
I mean this is what I was raised to believe too but this ideology isn’t without its consequences. It denies a very natural and fundamentally human anger and breaks the feedback loop that gives consequences to people who say insulting and hateful things. It takes the “find out” out of “fuck around and find out.” Surely you must see how protecting absolutely a very specific type of harm with no resource has lead to our current political climate.

Hell, we even recognize this problem and try to find “non violent” ways to hurt people who say horrible things like getting them fired, deplatformed, boycotting them, refusing service because a right hook is off the table. The most revered and romanticized political action is a protest which is literally a threat of violence.

And this protection in real life only really extends to the powerful who get the police to insulate them from consequences where if anyone else walked into a bar and said that shit they would leave with a black eye.

As a child growing up in the 90s that would have a lot of labels people really sanctify today, gifted education and that kind of accelerated learning opportunity was the #1 most life changing part of my life. It single handedly taught me how to lift myself out of a cycle of poverty when there was nothing else: I didn't have the innate personality for it, I had barely any family, my family had no connections, I had barely any friends. Anybody who opposes identifying gifted students and helping them succeed is actively blocking one of the few resources that can truly help underprivileged children build a future for themselves.
It is the one you want, it's used in most uni courses on compilers
I don't have a lot of experience with production k8s so I haven't seen too many issues. I have seen PVCs get stuck though. Recently, I was unable to do a rolling restart because I messed up and used zonal disks on a regional cluster. The scheduler would assign pods to nodes in the "wrong" zone and then the disks could never be attached properly.

The fix was to add scheduler hints that moved the pods to the correct zone as I should have done in the beginning. (On first deployment, the disk is created on the correct node and thus zone, so it all seemed to work).
Apple's arrangement is only a good thing in the context of Google's otherwise total domination of the browser market.

Nobody is saying that Apple's behavior is overall good, just pointing out that Apple's bad behavior just so happens to be keeping someone else's bad behavior in check.

You'd also have to do it, though.

Alternatively you could just embed a cheap GNSS chip and let other people build and maintain it.

GPS can also provide much more precise positioning than it does for consumers. There are encrypted bands used for military, etc with significantly better specs.

>Poor students and minority students, even if they tested in, had barriers put in place so they could not attend.

>My mother had to repeatedly threaten and read the district's own rules to them to eventually force them to send a taxi cab to pick me up in my poor neighborhood and take me up to the rich neighborhood so I could attend the gifted program.

>Even at the time, funding was tight (it is worse now), and teachers did not have enough resources to run classrooms.

>but honestly I feel that is due to the district not having enough teachers, money, or any other sorts of resources. There are schools with lead in the pipes where students shouldn't drink the water, managing a gifted program may just be beyond the district's capabilities at this time.

Below your accusation, I've quoted you in three places: the first, where a school district committed extra resources to accommodate you outside of their normal competencies; the last two, where you point out that schools are constrained in resources and may not be up to the task of providing accelerated programs. How does any of that show a basis of racism?
Could you explain the root of this notion that the limits of a legal right are determined by the willingness of criminals to assault you for practicing it?

The tension comes from our addiction to FAANG-style software engineering.

You can't be a Google engineer without thinking about scale-out. However, Google et al have a different kind of engineering than most other companies: they have tons of requirements of you that make engineering hard, but they also have tons of tools and libraries that make scale easy. In these environments, it makes sense to make even the most trivial systems horizontally scalable.

Conversely, if you do not have Google's or Amazon's distributed system components, and you don't have access to expertise with those tools, scale-out is likely the hardest problem to solve. GCP, AWS and others know this, so they charge you a lot to solve the scale-out problem for you (using their internal tools).

This is the source of the tension. FAANG-style engineering is what pads your resume (and establishes you as a "smart engineer" in the eyes of people who want to work at FAANGs), and simpler systems get things done until you absolutely need to scale out.
The context of this story is words written on paper, not absolute freedom.
Violence in response to words is an escalation, full stop. We don't need to go in to all that abysmal "paradox of tolerance" drivel to agree on this.
True. And to be clear I’m not arguing to reinvent it, but rather to build on top of it. SQL and traditional RDBMS are extremely powerful, but also vast, complex and difficult to master. They have for many of us a rather painful learning curve that could potentially be taken away by a product/service that creates the right kind of abstraction. In my opinion supabase does however not go far enough in creating this abstraction.
I'll happily disclose anything if they ask about, but the goal I'm trying to get to is that you land at requirements through conversation. Starting with a blank slate and saying "Give me all the requirements" and expecting that list to be complete, accurate, and never change is, at best, a complete fantasy when dealing with actual customers. If you did that to an actual customer, half the time they would blankly stare back at you with no idea what to say.

Now, if that's the level they engage at, that might be ok for a junior role. I expect juniors to require projects to be spelled out in excruciating detail, and to not deviate from exactly what they were told to do. That's what, by definition makes them junior.

A senior engineer on the other hand, can generally be given vaguely defined tasks and has the initiative to figure out what actually needs to be built in the first place, before launching into building something.

I don't have a specific threshold of performance I'm expecting for passing or failing the interview. It's about gauging where a candidates skills are on a spectrum, and then seeing if that skill level lines up with their experience and the job level the are interviewing for.

If you have senior experience and are interviewing for a senior role, my expectations are higher. If you perform at a junior level, then either we'd offer you a junior role instead or not make an offer. If you have junior experience and do well, then it might be time to make the leap to a senior role, or we'd make you a very attractive junior offer because we see that you're likely to advance quickly.
>why your ORM making inefficient DB queries

It's also crazy that we still have this and other basic problems with databases. Frontend and backend is moving so fast, with so many fun technologies, but even backing up mid-size database, testing backup and restring it, isn't a trivial problem...
This is so true. Hire a bunch of senior engineers to solve junior level problems and they'll turn the junior level problems into senior level problems :p
Tele-ops taxi network? Could work, but you're still going to be fundamentally limited in the sense that

A) your car just became relevant to the public transit system.

B) you just handed networked control of a multi-ton machine that cam move itself places where network connectivity doesn't exist.

C) do you really trust the network enough not to drop out on you at the worst time?

D) what happens if tele-operation critical equipment is non-functioning?
Sometimes you work on a platform that does not have a native style. (Eg. kiosks.) Or the native app is just an extension of a very website-driven service. (Eg. an app for event management, ticket admissions.)

As a user I prefer something that works, making sure one thing works consistently is easier than testing different native things that implement the same functionality. (Oh, and as a user I very much prefer that it does implement the same functionality.)
I see partial windows support, is that just running through docker?
like resource forks. yes. or extended attributes today.

magic numbers are a crude, expensive, and not always working workaround to detect the type of a file based on the first bytes of a data-stream. and there are programs that refuse to load a file if it has an extension that is not supported, even if the content of the file would be just fine. (can't think of an example though, but i definitely remember getting irritated when that happened)

what bothered me about extensions in unix is that they were sometimes arbitrary or wrong. especially on the web, where urls had arbitrary extensions that related to how the page was produced, and not the content that was served (which was almost always html. other extensions only matched for files to be downloaded, but you could never trust it, so in most cases it served no purpose)
So I can make even more money? If they have a great idea and great execution and are going to make a ton of money, then maybe I should take all their stuff, offer it for $1 less, and then take half their business.

This seems presumptuous to me. Living in cold climates does not necessarily correlate with being cold more than people living in warm climates.

I grew up in Norway. The coldest winter I experienced saw 3 weeks of -30 celsius. I've lived in London the last 22 years. I didn't freeze more in Norway. We had better insulated houses, and far better winter clothes, because we needed to. And so if anything I more frequently get "caught out" and have to add extra layers of clothing etc. in the UK because you can get away with not being prepared for a cold winter here, while in Norway you will have a proper winter coat etc.
