I took a look at my manager's calendar once and it was nightmarish. 8 hours of straight planning meetings, some of which overlap.

And us boots-on-the-ground devs tend to largely ignore what management plans, as we actually know what is and isn't possible with the libraries we're allowed to use and the time allotted.
I did the same. Dealing with Apple was an endless source of frustration.
Nice educational resource. Things like this help a lot relative to cppreference which often assumes the reader knows many things already. For example:

https://cppbyexample.com/what_is_unique_ptr.html

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/unique_ptr

The former spells out the rationale for the design - such as why you might need get or why make_unique is better than new, and why copies are forbidden but moves are allowed - that the official reference sort of assumes the reader already understands.
OpenWebRX[1] is a similar open-source sdr frontend, KiwiSDR is based on a slightly older version before it was picked up by a new maintainer. It's really nice being able to use the digital protocol decoding baked-in to it. Usually in the VHF ham band you can park it on the default "PACKET" bookmark and look at all the APRS traffic going around, and if the person running it has added the VHF/UHF buisness bands in that particular area the POCSAG decoder works great. Same for the digi protocols like FT8 et al. on the HF ham bands.

There's also another online directory[2] of mostly all available KiwiSDR, OpenWebRX, and WebSDR receivers with a cool map view.

I ran an OpenWebRX node for a good while before taking it down with the intention of upgrading it to an SDR with a wider bandwidth and a few multi-band antennas for better performance, might get around to finishing that up now.

An interesting take, Mr. Zuckerberg.
Seems about right. More users would use Tornado Cash if regulation was clear and allowed it. Zcash and Monero lack smart contracts which limits their use cases.

ZK based privacy was possible and working fine for many users through TC before the sanctions. Now it is risky as you may end up with locked funds or in jail for seeking privacy.

Edit: Should also mention Aztec and Aleo. These are working currently but in the same position that TC was before its sanctions. Hard to know what regulators will do as these tools allow for absolute privacy which is antithetical to the US government’s goals.
There's one case I know of where previously working behavior is broken, for something which was not an abuse vector at all: if your app depends on the hardware "menu" button (which is the case for nearly all apps made back when having a hardware "menu" button was standard for Android), for several versions Android showed an emulated software "menu" button next to the back/home/etc buttons, but more recent Android versions no longer show that button, breaking all these apps (since there's no way to get to their menu). See https://www.xda-developers.com/rip-menu-button-android-10-dr... for details.
This has been predicted for decades now, but always misses a key point for SV being so successful. The SF Bay Area is one of the most diverse places to live and work in the US. Your managers, colleagues, and the area are from very different backgrounds, and when you bring together this diverse set of people, you end up creating things that 99% of the world uses.

Outside of LA and the NY metro area, diversity drops drastically. So while there maybe a growth in research parks/tax advantaged zones to attract satellite offices and software startups, HQ’s are still going to be based where the diverse talent lives.

The second point is Americans simply are not pursuing the highest levels of education. Masters and PhD programs are filled with immigrants, and new departments are frequently established by hiring such highly educated people. And it turns out, it’s safer and more enjoyable for immigrants to live where they’re accepted and already have communities.

One can hope that America becoming more diverse in the future will cause other more diverse areas to be established, but that depends on the politics of the area. Educated people tend to not associate with right wing/republican policies, and these areas will have to embrace that and not just devolve to gerrymandering. And that means your neighbors and communities also have to embrace diversity.

At least you were able to get into a crew. I recently tried to play Golf with Friends only to find that those of us using the gamepass version couldn't play with those of us using the Steam version.
It might not work on iOS, but at least on Android one trick is to accept the "soft" request, and then reject the OS dialog.
or use -fno-strict-aliasing and profile the code to lift it for bottleneck code carefully? linux kernel does not allow strict-aliasing for example. but I agree yes all c and c++ course should teach strict aliasing.

in modern c++, also teach RAII and unique_ptr, combined they can eliminate so many memory safety problems.
ES is not hard to deploy. Maybe to use, but not to deploy.
I don't know that those two universities don't get a lot of respect. I have always heard good things about them, here in my elite coastal bubble.

As a counterexample, MIT is not in NYC or SF, and it gets respect.

For the universities you mention, maybe the (perceived?) sense of lower respect comes from picking up on outsider's suspicions that a Texas university may draw from the state, and thus may have a higher percentage of, you know, people who put tribe and faith ahead of logic and reason (which is not a swipe at all Texans, just more my personal opinion of the red voter types nationwide). Of course those suspicions may be unfounded.
It's my understanding that a lot of branded material(like "sonic the hedgehog") was filtered out of training data so that the copyright challenges were limited to small holders that can't fight back instead of large holders like Sega and Disney.

So any prompts expecting copyright characters is going to end up wierd because of lack of training data.
That's still enough to be just as angry about. Because the state wanted to lecture a woman on the morality of covering up her hair, she died in a "training center" instead of in bed. Her last moments were of being humiliated for being insufficiently modest.
I don't even think it was wrong, it just went on too long. The US had an excellent recovery, but because Congress didn't want to pass automatic stabilizers, and they had a hard time passing laws, they set long expiration times- and the last stimulus bill went on too long in retrospect.
"It makes us look bad to have silenced him."

Does it make us look bad? Why?

I have no background on the user other than the links posted by others. Sounds like he there were warned multiple times not to call names and they did again.

Maybe people should be allowed back, maybe on probation, after some time has passed. I assume that's an informal process of appealing to dang.
If we define the Midwest as the plains between the Appalachians and the Rockies, Pittsburgh is clearly closer to the Midwest than the East Coast.
It's not good. Google should let people opt out. Breaking the trust of it's users makes people rabid for a feasible opptuntiy to leave. Apple starting to monetize data doesn't make a great argument for jumping in that walled garden. Holding your users hostage is not a good look.
One of the few areas where I think the US has got it right. No-one should need more than 3 chances to stop being a dick.
Optimizing for fun is kind of impossible, at least in the sense of making a fun but unfair game. Fun games are inherently ones where you're matched with players at your skill level, and you're actually being challenged while still getting kills. Going 30-0 is only fun for so long (and for the people who don't get tired of it, they often go and download a cheating program).
I used HipChat for years and never actually saw what the thing looked like. Any XMPP client just worked, no hassle whatsoever. When we later switched to Slack it was actually a downgrade from my point of view. :-/
Can you explain the entry/exit thing of monero? I always thought i’m fine when using monero, but never looked into what ring signatures imply.
While the EU doesn't use a "three strikes" model, they do use progressively higher fines and other consequences for repeat offenses. If Google had ignored the 2017 Google Shopping order, for example, they would have lost a repeat investigation relatively quickly and there would have been very large fines. But instead, they changed how the product works, in a way that looks like they're responding to the decision and trying to follow it.

In a company with as many independent lines of business as Google has it's possible to have multiple instances of anti-trust enforcement that don't look like "we already fined you but you're continuing with the prohibited behavior", and the Android, Ads, and Shopping cases do all look really different. Plus they're covering overlapping time periods, which limits how much the regulator can say "you should have listened to us before".

Well the recession were looking at is mild. So inflation seems to be the bigger danger.

Rates were at 0.1% at the start of the year. I'm not sure that's particularly healthy, and they've been at that level since 2008(?) So haven't borrowers and exporters been rewarded enough?
If an app needs a webview, it should always strive to open that view in an embedded Safari webview (called an SFSafariViewController) or link to the view in the user's own choice of browser.
The app is prevented from seeing ‘inside’ this view.

Sometimes an app needs to control some aspect of the external view - for instance listen to some Js event, or inject authorization - and this can be for totally legitimate reasons in the flow of the app. Then the application needs to use another type of embedded webview called a WKWebView, which by definition allows the app to see into the user's interactions in the embedded browser.

Most developers and apps use these for totally necessary reasons - but Facebook is deviously abusing this functionality.

Some of the posters in this thread are blaming Apple for Facebook's evil behavior, but a lot of totally legitimate functionality that needs this type of app/browser communication would be impossible without the ability to enable it for genuine and well-founded reasons.
Aren't both benefits?

E.g. a malicious app mallocs a large buffer and just reads the memory looking for anything interesting? AND as you pointed out a non-malicious app that doesn't handle input.

> It's only on-everywhere because Apple doesn't do backwards compatible.

If this causes issue in an app then doesn't it mean that app has a possible vulnerability? So, it can be argued that breaking an app is increasing the security of the ecosystem. And yes, I understand the other side too of having an obscure app that you depend upon breaking because it is no longer supported. That's also the type of app that doesn't have a high probability of being exploited.
They can’t do anything except create harsh regulations for anybody using this kind of math. This is what US is doing and it does work at stripping away user privacy.
Yes. The fact that it was ultimately impotent doesn't change that fact. Characterizing the riot as being ended by a "single gunshot" is misleading, at best: there is no evidence that the majority of rioters were aware that someone had been shot, much less killed, until hours or days after the Capitol had been cleared.

"Insufficient" means a little bit of scuffling outside of our nation's legislature. It doesn't mean breaking into the windows and doors, rifling through the offices of legislators and stealing documents, and forcing an emergency evacuation of both chambers.
Well you could have just popped over to someone's desk and caught up on their status. You could see, at a glance, whether they were blocked, or struggling or not. Remote requires much more formal process for that kind of synchronous feedback and you're guaranteed to interrupt someone.

Fully async is possible but it's really hard. You get much slower feedback and much longer iteration times. Instead of ad hoc collaboration and course correction, you're dealing with playing tag and over the fence throws.
God, what a nauseating read. I understand promoting companies in different parts of the country outside of the valley - as remote work has become a more realistic and desired thing among engineers, I think investors risk neglecting talent outside of their tiny little bubble.

But pining for, or attempting to establish, a new SV is ridiculous, and doesn't consider the history of things at all. Artificially creating a centralized hub of industry (which already has several centralized hubs) will do nothing but drive up living costs and make it harder for anyone not in STEM to live there. More realistically, this idea will fail altogether and these "investors" will have to settle for small, corn-fed cities with a few tech companies that they can own minority shares in.

These people already got their gold rush, why isn't that enough for them?
Who else might take the time to get the exposure to suggest such a thing? a person whose job it is to do so.. "all arts are a waste of my money" is the pretext? bah!
Why do companies want an app?

Is it just for telemetry? Just for push notifications? Just because their competitor/idol has an app and they want one too?
Born and raised in Ohio, not even in one of the 3 big cities. Child of a non-white immigrant. Grew up being friends with many other children of immigrants who have willingly stayed there. I left because the good tech jobs were on the west coast, not because I felt unwelcome. With crime and homelessness disproportionately increasing in the major coastal cities, I'd seriously consider a move back to the midwest at this point.

I think this whole west coast trope of the midwest being a bunch of insular unwelcoming old white people is overblown.
It may be not be a huge difference in the context of this case, though, since the plaintiffs' First Amendment argument would apply just as much to the government "filtering out or demarcating content believed to be inaccurate or attempting to misinform".

That's not what pyrito said, though. Pyrito claimed that the necessary and sufficient condition is a critical mass of rich people, a fairly doctrinaire application of "trickle down" economic theory. But we can see quite clearly that the Waltons, despite being fairly numerous, close in geographic proximity, and unbelievably rich, haven't triggered a Silicon Valley-like phenomenon.
I have no opinions on the article itself, but I am interested in whether the same actors also acted in coordination to suppress Lab Leak given that they were also implicated.

> Rather, they were the fruits of an aggressive attempt to shape the news by the same government officials whose policies the epidemiologists had criticized. Emails between Fauci and Collins revealed that the two officials had worked together and with media outlets as various as Wired and The Nation to orchestrate a “takedown” of the declaration.

I have no idea if Lab Leak theory is still viable, or rather if it can ever be fully proven, but the censorship it got from private entities leads me to believe there was government support involved.

I agree with what you're saying but just to note, the DRM is optional although most devs take them up on it. Kerbal Space Program is one example of a game where iirc you can just copy the folder out and run it on any machine.
This is an absurd idea.

That would be a complete detriment to one of the greatest innovations in financing: Seperation of capital and responsibility. When you buy a stock you know you can not loose more than the stocks value, so you dare to invest.

Also, would bond holders also be burdened with this? what about derivatives?
I don't understand why this is causation vs correlation?
It's uncertain how Figma will change as an Adobe product. It's wise to have a few alternatives ready just in case.

Sketch remains one of the top UI design apps. I remember when I switched the first time from Photoshop to Sketch. Saved me tons of time and I easily 2-3x my design process.

It is quite difficult to compare the obfuscation features of lightning network with that of "conventional" systems like cryptonote-style ring signatures. Consider two different situations:

A) A user picks the economically best peer to open channels with, or chooses peers randomly. Neither of these are sybil proof, which basically means you are transmitting your requests publicly.

B) A user only opens channels privately within a cohort of peers that privately agree not to keep logs, have special means of transmitting requests privately, etc.

I would assume that most users follow some of A's heuristic and some of B's. To the extent that situation B offers privacy, it prevents you from transacting with other users globally in a more general sense.

In other words, it is useful as a privacy mechanism only if you trust your peers not to keep logs, but don't trust them not to double-spend, and also you are not worried about guilt-by-association of owning a channel with these peers. If you were running some sort of dark net market or something, it would be easier to implement some sort of (cryptocurrency-backed?) chaumian cash, as you already implicitly trust the marketplace's sysadmin to some extent (as they can simply MITM your relationships unless you establish them by keypairs out-of-band (this is another sybil problem), which is probably more dangerous than double-spending).

Then won't they just censor more?
Honestly just to prove how wrong you are and what you're saying is blatant misinformation, i'll correct you, since I don't think you're talking in good faith, or have any idea what you're saying.

Regarding fences, In the intel system programming guide, section 8.1.3

"
Handling Self- and Cross-Modifying Code
The act of a processor writing data into a currently executing code segment with the intent of executing that data
as code is called self-modifying code. IA-32 processors exhibit model-specific behavior when executing selfmodified code, depending upon how far ahead of the current execution pointer the code has been modified.
As processor microarchitectures become more complex and start to speculatively execute code ahead of the retirement point (as in P6 and more recent processor families), the rules regarding which code should execute, pre- or
post-modification, become blurred. To write self-modifying code and ensure that it is compliant with current and
future versions of the IA-32 architectures, use one of the following coding options:
(* OPTION 1 )
Store modified code (as data) into code segment;
Jump to new code or an intermediate location;
Execute new code;
Vol. 3A 8-5
MULTIPLE-PROCESSOR MANAGEMENT
( OPTION 2 )
Store modified code (as data) into code segment;
Execute a serializing instruction; ( For example, CPUID instruction )
Execute new code;"

It further states,

"The act of one processor writing data into the currently executing code segment of a second processor with the
intent of having the second processor execute that data as code is called cross-modifying code. As with selfmodifying code, IA-32 processors exhibit model-specific behavior when executing cross-modifying code,
depending upon how far ahead of the executing processors current execution pointer the code has been modified.
To write cross-modifying code and ensure that it is compliant with current and future versions of the IA-32 architecture, the following processor synchronization algorithm must be implemented:
( Action of Modifying Processor )
Memory_Flag := 0; ( Set Memory_Flag to value other than 1 )
Store modified code (as data) into code segment;
Memory_Flag := 1;
( Action of Executing Processor )
WHILE (Memory_Flag ≠ 1)
Wait for code to update;
ELIHW;
Execute serializing instruction; ( For example, CPUID instruction *)
Begin executing modified code;"

So please tell me how the intel developer manual is wrong, how i'm wrong, and how they all server a "Different purpose" than what is given. I can link more instances from the Intel Developer manual if you want. I assume you've read it if you're trying to talk about the subject.

> This kind of sounds like being mad that the cop pulled you over for speeding, despite everyone else also speeding.

It's a little closer to being pulled over in a Honda Accord with 200K+ miles on it going 71 in a 70 zone while Tesla's and BMW's fly by at 90+. Also those Tesla/BMW owners have had hundreds of tickets but somehow keep their licenses.

Yes, I know this is actually probably completely/near accurate to the real world, money runs everything, but it doesn't mean I have to be ok with it. I'm not advocating I should be allowed to "speed", just that it's frustrating to be the only one getting pulled over with (ok, I've stretched this metaphor as far as I can stand) a tiny dev team while billion/trillion dollar companies, for which my entire team is less than a rounding error, get away with murder.
