> This is the sort of crisis that brings down nations.

What does "bring down nations" mean though? Replacing a government? Violent overthrow and then writing an actual constitution? Because a bunch of the challenges being faced would still be issues under any regime right? A different government isn't going to magically get more potatoes this year, or significantly more energy from strained European countries this winter.
In your list RocksDB is most like Redis, but even faster because the data doesn't have to leave the process.

Think of it as a high performance sports car like a Ferrari. It's not good at taking the kids to school or buying groceries. But if you need to prioritise performance at the expense of all other considerations then it's exactly what you need.
Could this thing be attached to a solid substrate, perhaps a semiconductor, and remain in place? Like in a computer chip

What about using that free electron in the middle to do computing? Perhaps a quantum computer or something

I mean that's what reminded me: quantum computers often trap a charged particle, perhaps an ion or electrons, and use it to store qubits. This stuff here seems to be a perfect electron trap. Or isn't it?

(note, I'm just throwing ideas in the air, I know almost nothing of chemistry, semiconductors or quantum computers)

Footnote: Roundworms and Earthworms are different animals.

The animals cited in this study are roundworms and belong to the Filum Nematoda, one of the most frequent animals in this planet and also one of the most overlooked.

Most of them are not parasite animals, but we know more about the parasites because they cause gross diseases in humans.

Earthworms are the common pink worms found on soil, they belong to Filum Annelida (and is true that some european earthworms invaded America a few thousands years ago).

Earthworms and humans are basically not directly linked in the trophic chain. We don't feed on them, and they don't feed on us directly or cause us diseases.
What, how?! Currently, it looks further than ever.
While I don't want to manage the production environment on a daily basis, I most certainly do want to get my hands dirty in the dev environment.

IMHO to be a good developer one should have a solid understanding of the platform and environment in which their code runs.

At work it's us devs who have the primary responsibility for the dev and test environment. We then hand it over to ops/support team which deploy it for our customers and manages day to day stuff. This way we do get some ops experience while not getting bogged down by it.
that sounds absolutely horrid, imagine scrolling and then your display jumps to 200ms or your cloud provider drops you and your phone is bricked
I for one liked the article a lot, and I applaud you for doing the research and sharing it even if it's a negative result, especially with the HN crowd. Much more respect than what the majority does - plaster on some "military grade encryption" when they mean they have FDE or some other standard encryption at rest where they control the keys. Even better, educating the public about this.

For my own venture (large file transfers) I went through very similar thoughts, but have decided to keep e2ee, but it's going to take a lot of time to see if it actually benefits my users.

I've found that "going against the grain" with offline-first, e2ee etc is mostly a problem of immature off-the-shelf tooling, protocols and libraries. I.e. you need to put in a lot more work to build an equivalent product. Do you think that with a more mature ecosystem, you would have come to a different conclusion?
I won't be surprised that they do. Most politicians are very thoroughly technically ignorant, and have little time or patience to spend on learning technically complex things, and really safe communication means aren't usually very user-friendly.
Brexit didn't really come into force until January 2020, so we're only what, 2.5 years into its implementation now? Seems a little early to be dismissing the dire predictions.
I think when discussing this, it should be recognised that there is ample evidence that Russia has worked last several years to undermine the stability of western democracies. Brexit vote and resulting chaos being one glaring result. I am suggesting that we are just starting to understand the magnitude in which Russia has been able to cause havoc in the west by taking advantage of our freedoms.

The utility of money decreases as you have more of it.

The first $100k a year is huge. The second $100k a year is useful. By the time you're at 300k, 400k, the utility is very low unless you just really enjoy collecting sports cars.

I have a nice home. It is 25 years old, but I do a lot of work on it myself. I have a nice enough vehicle that is reliable. I can afford whatever books I want, to go hiking wherever, and whatever I want at the grocery store.

Why would I give up a work environment I like, with great food and no commute, where I can have it quiet as a mouse, just to make more money that wouldn't make a difference to my life?
This is already deployed. My current employer (at least, my local branch) has some not-mandatory-but-actually-yes-mandatory "training" followed by tests where they do track your eyeball and you are penalised if you look away (they also disallow alt-tabbing, screenshots and many other basic operations). They are losing a lot of people (including me, very soon) and this is one of the main reasons, but I don't think they have any intention to stop, since this shit has probably been decided several levels above the line managers, who are the ones seeing the mess but don't have much decision power about it.

I'd like to think that this insanity will be stopped relatively soon, since tech workers are still in high demand, so people mostly don't put up with this shit. For the vast majority of workers, who don't have that luxury, I don't think they will be able to get rid of this kind of software.

Maybe it doesn't make sense for you, but it makes their buddies in the private sector a lot of money. And that's the game in capitalism, making a lot of money.

The government competing with affordable options for everyone against the private sector is "bad for business".
Why are we just focused on the "stupid" developer here - the sort who thinks your later "wow the 'close popup' button is so popular" example is a good reason to add more popups?

Do we think the people making calls like that would suddenly have great ideas in the absence of data?

Meanwhile, there are plenty of folks out there who can reason about data in less blindly idiotic ways.
There's something wild going on there, too. Leaked documents have shown how their best chance at real Labour-style governance (Corbyn) was intentionally smeared from within as an antisemite, among other things, in order to torpedo his popularity. Instead, Labour has the hugely ineffectual Tory-esque Keir Starmer now. Feels very much like a managed opposition.
That may just be reality. The Disney movies telling everyone they can be princesses may be the cruel ones at the end of the day.

You will not have the same opportunities. Look closely at the ones you have and don't ignore them for sour grapes.

Anything more than "sucks to be you" requires opportunity or real costs and basically no one is willing to do.

Yeah. I've personally been on a mission to throw 'bad', 'worse', 'good', 'better', and words to those effects out the window. They're meaningless and lazy at best. They need to be defined in every context, so it's easier to just skip to saying the definition.

At worst, they sound incredibly judgmental, presumptive, or pushy. It irks me to no end when others try to decide what good is on my behalf.
Thank you, edited to include Yugabyte!
Okay, to be technical, we get the raw values for each metric: say the number of job ad that mention language X, or the number of Google search results. Then, using R/R Studio, we normalize the the raw values so they range from 0 to 100, with 100 fixed as the highest valued language in each group. Then the metrics are summed, using different weights for the Spectrum default, Jobs, and Trending. The results are normalized again to produce the 3 rankings. In previous years all this weighting and combining was done client-side, so you could try your own weights if you didn't like ours, but for the reasons I give the article we dropped this feature in favor of precomputed results this time out.

In any case your own chief of security coming out and saying your security is crap would be devastating for any company. But when it's a person with credentials list like Mudge's - one can be quite sure he's not just doing it because some disagreement about salary and vacation days, and it would be impossible to dismiss this as "disgruntled employee issue". Twitter would probably try anyway, but it won't work.

Twitter is going to be in a lot of hot water now, and I can't imagine Musk isn't going to milk this to the last drop.
> Is that true though? When Apple made tracking opt-in, pretty much everyone refused. I think that's a clear indicator that the overwhelming majority do want privacy, and if they're actually given a choice, most will probably take it.

Is it? Or is it a clear indication that most people will stick with whatever the default option handed to them is?

Humans do not have the capacity to be perfectly consistent with their long term goals. Therefore, as you take actions through life you are also voting for the person you don't want to be simply through failure or randomness.

Luckily there is a REPL for human behavior: feedback from the environment that the decision you made did or did not support your long term goals

This REPL allows you to iterate toward increasing the percentage of your effort that goes to long term goals.

This assumes you have measurable long term goals.
What was the cost of the Cambridge Analytica scandal to the average user?

There were a lot of people in the data set, certainly, but how many can quantify damages?

If anything the Cambridge Analytica scandal was (disturbing) "win" for privacy loss: a lot of the Cambridge Analytica demographics markers were baked into the Facebook ad platform and became standard ad demographics soon after. The Cambridge Analytica scandal as played out looked like Facebook was stamping out bad privacy practices using its platform, but the real message was Facebook eliminating a competitor to their ad business by eliminating their access to Facebook's data. Lucky for Facebook the PR mostly stuck with the face value of "stamping out bad privacy practices", but even a lot of the people that saw/realized it was simply Facebook eliminating a competitor have mostly shrugged and continued to use Facebook (though Facebook did add some opt-outs at that much more modest uproar, versus all the loud thundering noise Cambridge Analytica got).
Hi rivertech, I have no benchmarks but tried Alpine x86, it's a tad slow. I haven't tried a GUI and figured it's not worth the penalty in speed and battery life. Why do you need x86 ubuntu instead of arm ubuntu?, is it because of running x86 windows programs under Wine? Box86 is perhaps a faster solution.
Could you elaborate? What do you mean by anxiety?
The video in that article illustrates your point quite nicely by displaying the palette at each point in time. The early years are dominated by wood grain colors and gold. I'd wager gold being overrepresented in a sample based on museum items.

It then switches away from wood to more grayscale plastics. Until the 60s, when brightly colored plastics take over.

Green energy will save the environment and save the poor decades from now when these sophisticated and complex climate and economic models predict the poor will really suffer from an apocalypse.

It is unfortunate that the poor will likely die at a higher rate in the next three years from reduced economic output, ESG induced famine, inflation and that Germany is back to coal and firewood in the short term. But realize it is for a greater future.
No I don't think that's relevant. They implement their own btree it seems [0].

They don't use a key-value store library.

I know it's a bit of a fine line. But I'm talking about standalone libraries people embed across different applications/databases. That's what RocksDB/LevelDB/Pebble are.

I agree with everything you said, but I'd like to play devil's advocate here. Mudge has worked:

* L0pht / @stake: security research, red teaming, and source code auditing, IIRC.
* BBN: research.
* NFR: technical advisory board.
* DARPA: Managing a program that provided grants for new security products and tools.
* Google ATAP: Google's "invention studio".
* CyberUL: Testing of security products.

None of these jobs really suggest a background in building a security program. I've worked with some large companies in a similar space to Twitter building their security programs and you can spend the first 6-12 months just trying to justify the new budget. Often that money has to come from another team or teams and he would have to justify that. He was apparently only there roughly a year.

Again, I don't doubt Mudge's bonafides. I don't doubt his security knowledge. But this job was nothing like any he's had in the past.

I also don't doubt his claims. Everything he's stated is almost certainly true. It does take more than a year to fix most of these problems and I wonder if he just got frustrated with the political battles that occur in these situations.
Is that what you say when Dennis Rodman throws Pippen into the stands? This is a thread about a lawsuit after all, the games rules have apparently been violated.
What I meant was that I, as a non-Rust-fanboy (it's okay but I don't care that much about the language I use), am constantly coming across Rust in almost every job and interview I do across the crypto/defense/security domains. I'm not out there looking for Rust but it's been there in the last 3 or 4 contracts I've had and all but one interview I had when last looking for a job. Admittedly these are all startups, but still. It's far more common, from my experience, than these surveys seem to suggest.

> These studies always bring out knee-jerk reactions in genpop, but you have to understand what herbicides and GMO crops have done to alleviate global hunger and malnutrition.

"I am too young to remember flipper babies."

To an older, educated portion of the 'genpop' your post is just carrying water for Monsanto and has zero to do with GMO as a concept. You've typed up a manifesto stating the obvious and missing the point. Ask yourself why people would "oppose GMO" if they agree with every point you make here.
Compliance is performative until it isn't. If you've ever been party to a breach, the role of compliance and an audit trail to the security narrative becomes _very_ important. Consider:

1. We had a breach. A factor in this was insufficient oversight on a process that granted privileged access to customer data. We fixed the problem, promise that your data is safe, and don't believe this will happen again.

2. We had a breach. A factor in this was due to a gap in an existing control around customer data that had a problem we had not anticipated. These were the people involved. This is exactly how this problem occurred. This is the data that was exposed. This is documentation of our response to this incident. This is our existing policy around how we handle data and how we respond to breaches.

Customers, partners, regulators, and law enforcement respond a lot better when you can demonstrate good intent and at least imply that you have some kind of process. Of the two scenarios I outlined, the latter provides those assurances.

Compliance isn't the only way to do this, but it's often the easiest.

My tuppence worth of thoughts...

#1. Insist on hunked, with appropriate commit messsage, commits for their PR - can simplify code review

#2. Use git rebase from master to their branch - where they fix any merge conflicts - before submitting PR

#3. Make use of git commit --amend for updates that dont need to leave a trail of noise while working towards #1 - you still have all that noise in the reflog if you really need it

#4. Ensure git rebase --i is used to ensure no commit history noise prior to their PR

#5. Any formatting amendments should be done pre/post PR

#6. Use pre-receive hooks to block PR and reduce any unnecessary forgetfulness of the above points

At the end of the day, they should be following a sane set of coding standards that the project has outlined - which everyone should adhere to, but also be involved with setting, and then following.

There are plenty of coding standards out there, find one that fits your project best, and modify accordingly - be sure create a repo that provides guidance to the standard and keep it up to date.
I think for people in need to get started quickly Firebase is perfectly suited to start without much hassle. For me personally I can get my personal PHP stack (Percona mysql server, nginx, php8.1-fpm) running on a fresh debian server within 10 minutes.

However I don't have the experience (yet) what I need to change in my setup to scale up to very many concurrent users. So far I assume my setup should be able to handle few hundreds connections in the same second.
