I did, because I already knew about most of the atrocities and subversions of democracy etc. described in the article. But I've been called all sorts of things for not inherently trusting my government. Being called a conspiracy theorist doesn't bother me, but the people who call me a fascist while demanding daddy government stomp on their rights a little harder just baffle me.
The issue is that a lot of the aerodynamic frame advances only work in ideal laminar conditions. However wind is gusty, there are trees and other obstacles next to the course etc. In those cases the advantages largely disappear as Hambini has shown.
If you're not incorporated, business expenses are only deductible if they exceed 2% of AGI[0, p2], so for a hobbyist miner it is quite plausible that they can't write it off.

I do like to know where we stand, but in an ideal scrum team everyone's constantly aware of what is going on and catching each other up is no longer necessary.

But that's idealized circumstances; during the Panny-D and people working remotely, it turns out people prefer to just keep their head down all day and maybe only check in at the stand-up. That is also fine, I guess.

But if you use integers, and delete an array element and reuse it for something else, but somewhere there is a use-after-free integer, you also get garbage memory

Or worse, actual data belonging to someone else. If the integer is a user id, and you delete an user, reuse it for another user, the former user might see data for another use. That is a big security issue
> At first I was puzzled. How could things be fine at 60 startups and broken at 80? It was only a third more. Then I realized what had happened. We were using an O(n2) algorithm. So of course it blew up.

This is neat, but isn't actually right. Each partner has to know each startup, which is, yes, O(n2) relationships. But there's no one who needs to do work proportional to the number of partner-startup relationships: each partner only has O(n) startups to keep track of. So probably the reason it blew up was just ordinary linear growth outstripping capacity: 60 startups was an amount most partners could keep track of, and 80 wasn't.

As I see it, this doesn't reduce the the overhead at all but just increases it by introducing a third party tool to the mix and requiring everyone to engage with it.

Sure, it might help if your daily standup is already a mess, but overall just by fixing the process by having a single person running the daily and making sure no-one starts to ramble too much solves the problem of excess time spent in dailies. Assuming you want to keep them.

I could of course be wrong and if I am, best of the luck for you.

That reminds me of a sports talk show I see on the gym TVs sometimes. A few talking heads, and a host who literally gives/takes points from these old men talking football/sports.
Great question
Our goal is to make standups more effective, not necessarily faster. We found that by adding more structure and allowing people to easily prepare, the result is a more effective meeting that in many cases is also faster.
The prep experience actually makes preparing really fast by leveraging your previous tasks/goals

I dont know if he is cheating. Evidence is not clear. My theory is one of two things.

1) Carlsen doesn't want to play with anyone that has ever cheated. Fair enough. But be more vocal about it.

Pet theory 2) Carlsen is on tilt. We could be seeing a shift in play style, like we have several times with poker. GTO came on the scene and suddenly the whole game changed, and those on the top many times found themselves unable to deal with how the newer players were approaching the game.

> Are there any reliability issues with used mining cards?

Yes.

Specifically, voltage regulators tend - for some reason I am not familar with - wear out and die.

I'd be very careful when buying a second-hand GPU that was used for mining.

Doubtful.

Hi everyone! I am Sam the CEO and Co-Founder of Plural. I’ve been in open source for over a decade. I spent 4 years at Red Hat before spending the next 6 years building products at MongoDB. Most recently I was the Head of Product at Unqork where we saw how difficult it was to create a deployment for our app stack and its related services. My Co-Founder Michael Guarino and I are building an open-source platform that simplifies deploying third-party applications on Kubernetes. Michael and I would love to answer any questions or hear any feedback you’ll have regarding our project. We'll do our best to reply to all of them below. Thanks!

I use Docker, on rare occasion. If I need to run an Intel based container, that usually works using Rosetta.

Everything else I run native M1 applications: 2 Common Lisp implementations, Python, Jetbrains and VSCode IDEs.

The M1 chip can be an inconvenience but using the M1 specific Homebrew (brew) gets me by and is now the way I install Emacs and many other dev utilities.
Speaking of which, why do .cc and .cpp exist to refer to C++ source files? Two compiler vendors that couldn't agree?
I have to look at in more depth.

In the systems I've built there are frequently a few queues and also some resources such as a MapDB or Jena instance, "shutting down" is a matter of flushing out the queues and closing the resources in dependency order.

One of them used the Jena Rules Engine as a control plane, effectively a group of production rules that build all the queues, initialize the processing elements, resources, etc. I got told by the Jena people that this use case was not supported but it worked pretty well.
You're right, they want to be the heros. And some people would convince themselves that being a hero is to prevent a particular person from becoming president, because it would be "a danger to our democracy."

I have been using post-it notes and a pen on my desk lately and it feels like virtual ram for my brain. Instead of holding X variables in my head I can hold X+5 or whatever fits on the post-it note. The ephemeral nature and small footprint makes it easy to scratch out brain-exstension-only notes without being tempted to start making a reference document like I would in a notebook. The note is extremely valuable to me for its lifetime, and a day later I'll glance at it, say "I have no idea what this means," and toss it.
Don't believe anything you read about a war zone that you don't see first-hand. Everybody on every side spins things and gives you their own set of propaganda about what is actually going on.

As far as retreating, who is winning, and other questions like that. The military war is very eventful, but the economic war might be a lot more important in the long-run and might tell you more about the future.
There are the ones that would read it and agree with it. The agency could do no wrong.

There are those that read it, knew about some or most of it, and really not surprised. You possibly believe in conspiracy theories. And find out a few may be true.

Then there are those who are alarmed and shocked the CIA would do such a thing.

Interesting that this comment, one of the only realistic ones in the entire thread, gets aggressively downvoted.

I guess we're going to have to wait until several major cities are utterly destroyed, or a few mass-heat-death events occur, before some people finally get it.

We don't have time, we don't have the resources, and we don't have the global societal cohesion to address this problem in the way a lot of the fantasists in this thread would prefer.

Most people really are better than GPT-3. The bot writes incoherent rambling with flair and style; humans write poorly, but (usually) with some underlying goal that keeps them on track.

GPT-3 output reminds me of the schizophrenia symptom called word salad, but slightly more coherent. It's trying to predict the next word, not achieve anything else, and the result is text that looks like it's going somewhere but never arrives.

Absolutely no reason to masquerade main() in such a fashion!

It's a rule of least surprise, be it for user or fellow developer.
One idea I have is to use a secondary system like grammarly to check if the input is "imperative" in nature meaning it's formatted to command the AI to do something. It's pretty naive but could be a simple start.
Most of it applies to the Supreme Court as well.
That's not how software development works.

First you wouldn't write such stuff in comments, that's useless and not what comments are for. Comments are to explain non-obvious things in code, or clarify assumptions that are made, not to narrate that you found bugs but are too lazy to fix them.

If a third-party library is broken, you either fix it or stop using it.

As a developer, you're responsible with ensuring your application works well and is easy to maintain. It doesn't matter if someone else wrote some of the code.

There was probably a way I could have figured out how to keep the profits, but because I only made a few hundred from mining, and I had other capital gains (from stocks) that made that whole part of my taxes complicated, it just wasn't worth the effort and the risk of an audit to try to find a loophole. I printed the forms from TaxBit and paid what it said.

People say that US taxes are kept complicated because the tax prep companies profit, or because Republican politicians benefit from frustration at taxes. But I think this is a bigger reason: a lot of people, myself included, when faced with paying extra taxes that just "don't seem right", would rather pay extra that go through the complication of figuring out how to fix them. So the government gets extra tax revenue that they technically didn't require.

I keep reading there will be all these cheap GPUs available, which is great, but I then ask where I can buy them but all I get is ebay, and then when I check ebay, they still aren’t cheap. Where will all these miners be selling them? So I can buy a few.
>> Making the loans shorter will make monthly payments scale up, making mortgages less affordable for people.

Pay attention when you get a mortgage. It goes like this:

1) what is your monthly income?

2) what are your monthly expenses?

3) calculate: this is how much we think you can afford to pay per month

4) back calculate: this is how much we will approve you to borrow.

5) Typical money available determines house prices.

The key here is that #4 means housing prices are hugely influenced by interest rates, and also the length of the loan. Housing as a percent of income is actually fairly constant because they'll everyone wants to get you for as much as they can, but the bank balances that against risk of default so there is a limit.

That's my rant. Reducing the length will cause people to build equity faster and will reduce volatility and the dangers of things like interest rate hikes.

Datadog is an application monitoring suite (distributed trace, log aggregation, infrastructure instrumentation, dashboarding) that includes a web-based front-end which makes use of these components.
Is this the same Datadog that sends spam calls to developers after office hours to sell their tools?
I agree with you there. We did email-based stand-ups for a while and ditched it. It devolved into a mechanical habit of "everything is going great" type answers that nobody payed attention to..

The async aspect of it is convenient, but for me as a team lead, often times the standup is also an opportunity to ask follow up questions, to see if stories are on track, or to determine if somebody would benefit from pairing for the day. These things become increasingly important if you have an uneven balance of dev experience or domain knowledge within the team.

Monkeypox is a virus that belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus, a family that also includes smallpox. Like smallpox, it is a large DNA virus with a special appetite for skin tissue. However, smallpox only infects humans, which means we can eradicate it with global mass vaccination, while monkeypox is carried by an animal reservoir of the virus. And despite the name, the natural reservoir is not actually ape.
Boeing omitted MCAS from the FAA certification that they did themselves, even though it's:

a) critical - if it malfunctions, the plane can crash

b) based on something that is known to fail often, with zero redundancy

Both of those they were mandated to disclose, and they didn't, knowingly. Why is none of these bastards in jail?

Yeah sorry, mistook the sensor, indeed it's the Angle of Attack sensor next to the pitot tubes. Both are prone to frequent, for aviation, failure, so the point still remains.

It's more of a dig on people who claim MD5 is okay because it's in Schneier's book. Not so much a dig on Schneier himself.

And yes. I understand MD5 etag headers are common. I even understand that MD5 still passes the avalanche test -- Robshaw's observations on MD5 in 1996 are just as valid today.

But according to Sasaki & Aoki, //both// collisions and second pre-image calculation are faster than brute force. Maybe MD5 //shouldn't// be used if all you need is avalanche.

It turns out that SHA256 has both collision and second pre-image calculation resistance //as well as// avalanche effect. Maybe use that one instead.
Pretty much just Silver Reed, but their machines seem closest to the Brother and other Japanese models. The brand is UK but at least their knitting machines are built and ship from Japan.
Because nobody does this. An sv is a temporary you pass down the call chain, where it is uniformly perfectly safe.

This is why I say it takes extra work to get things wrong. Every example purporting to show "unavoidable" memory faults is super contrived. You have to turn off compiler warnings to be able to miss it.

Totally agree on the point of having dailies. For days where there's no blockers or other items to discuss we support async as well. The idea is to allow a more dynamic meeting series which is live when needed and async on days when the team only needs to share status.
Surprised that there was not even a single mention of Micron! My understanding is that it was a joint venture of some variety between Intel and Micron.

A bit hypocritical of Snowden to criticize the USA while holed up in Russia. But maybe I'm a bit partial considering the USSR destroyed every semblance of culture and national identity in my home country, causing generations of corruption and trauma, and ultimately emboldening my family to move to the States--abandoning lifelong friends and family--where a much better life was possible.

But please, keep lecturing us on how the US is "problematic." It's highly indicative that someone hasn't lived even a remotely hard life (nor traveled extensively, at least not without a US passport) when their criticism of the US is so paper thin. We get it: US imperialism bad, CIA evil, etc. But boy am I happy (not to mention proud) to be an American.

Even granting that not everyone uses every app, Apple made and continues to maintain, improve, update, and support the thriving ecosystem (including many free apps) in which Amazon and Spotify can find the best audience.

Including, with help from fees charged to developers and the 30% revenue cut, funding development of all the tools and platforms that make it all possible.

Amazon and Spotify (and their customers) would not do as well without this ecosystem and its tools, devices, and platforms.

I think the value of the ecosystem including all the aspects mentioned is huge. Device sales alone would not ever come close to paying for it all, if you want devices to be in reach of normal people and you don’t want to build your business off of intrusive personalized advertising.
>Ironic that Snowden found his sanctuary there.

It wasn't really by choice, as I understand it he was trying to relocate to South America. And given events like grounding the plane of a head of state because they suspected Snowden was on board I can't say I'm surprised he hasn't tried to relocate to elsewhere.
>That people wanted accounts with emails and persistent identity on a forum dedicated to harassment is also bizarre.
