I don't think people are saying that it cannot happen, just that you need to prove it instead of hurling empty accusations, especially when it can destroy someone's career. I personally think it sets a bad precedent if every top player immediately starts crying "cheating!" when beaten by a lower ranked one.

In North America in September of 2022, your statement is not wholly wrong. Building cities around the car is a privilege that NA cities have enjoyed in the decades of unparalleled prosperity and abundance that followed WWII.

However, we saw in just the past year the consequences of even a moderate increase in the cost of gas for the average American, how they reacted to it, and how they learned from it. From that, I think I can say with fair certainty that the American brand of city will not cope well with any meaningful shortage. There are other, longer term problems that will begin to show themselves as abundance wanes as well.

A car can only ever be as useful as the roads it drives on, and the same with a cargo bike. If there are copious protected bike lanes that go everywhere you want to go, you would bike everywhere in just the same way you drive everywhere today. The only difference between them is how they deal with black swan events that threaten the abundance that drives driving.

I'm not trying to be a doomer here, but most places can't (and likely none should) build expecting that they're always going to have the resources to sustain excess. This isn't a knock against you either, you don't always have a choice as to where you live and the means available to you to get around. However, it is worth being aware of the narrowness of this perspective.
> Transparency is not your job

I would argue the opposite: transparency is one of the biggest part of your job. You're not in a leadership position, and it's your choice: do you want an opaque company where politics drive individual success? Or do you want a transparent company where employees respect their leaders and where the best insight wins?
This is pretty much exactly how I feel. I have great respect for the Go team. I broadly agree with their design philosophy. I think CSP is a great theory for concurrency. And I just don’t really like writing Go. I don’t hate it, but I feel like I have to either fight the language or just repeat myself an awful lot.

Honestly, I suspect the deficiency is on my end. Perhaps I’ve just spent too much time with Lisp and have experienced some professional deformation.
I would hope they have a paper map and compass as well (and probably a phone). The actual map on any smartwatch isn't super useful.
Surely it's possible for GitHub to add features that aren't related to making it more social or "fun," though? For example, they could improve their support for stacked PRs in a number of ways; that's an area that is far from fine at the moment IMO.
Honestly they're both easy technologies to learn and master.

> To Apple's defense, are they supposed to wait until the app breaks, starts receiving many complaints from customers

Except that Apple is exempting apps with more downloads, and only punishing apps with fewer downloads, which is the opposite of worrying about "many complaints".
I'm really sorry, but I'm the one who just broke it :S

I was leaving a friendly message on other people's todo lists to expose a vulnerability, but somehow I ended up breaking it completely, and I regret that now.

Please see this as construcive feedback. The vulnerability I was exploiting was an insecure direct object reference (https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Insecure_Dire...), but there are many other vulnerabilities there too, like Cross Site Scripting (https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Cross_Site_Sc...)

Again, I'm really sorry to break your application, but I'm more than happy to help fix the vulnerabilities - is the application open source anywhere?

And what are your cost savings from RDS perspective. I'd a similar problem where we'd to provision like 5 databases for 5 different teams. RDS is really expensive. And your solution is open source ? I would like to try.

I actually wrote several responses and realized I was rambling on because of just how difficult it is to explain the reality of being in a decision making role. Rumors and politics are far far more prevalent than any acutal problems that will affect your people.

It is not your job to be responsible for other peoples personal lives, you are not the messiah. All you can do is fight to get them the pay they deserve. What they do with the money you have no control over anyway.

Layoffs at non Fortune 500 companies generally have less warning than anything can be done about anyway. Sure if its budgeted at Pfizer 6mo in advance your an ahole for not telling people. However its usually more like 2-4 weeks that the people in charge even know beforehand. ALso remenber we are talking about CTO. Its the CFO that knows the truth about the finances and may be hiding it from you as the CTO.

In Microsoft's case, there is an entire world of software that only runs on Windows. There are a lot of circumstances where businesses and users simply don't have a choice to run an operating system other than Windows because so much of the software world is built around it.

There software that runs only on macOS, but nowhere near the extent of Windows. The overwhelming majority of people using a Mac have made a decision to use an Apple product. For most Windows users, this was never a choice.
I'm pretty sure this would be called an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) in the US. You aren't stupid; ARMs are sold heavily during "good times" and to be frank, to my knowledge, most of your country uses what we call ARMs without issue.

Having lived through, and lost all my shit, in the last financial crisis as a young man I'd also like to say something more directly to you. You did not let your family down. You thought you were making a good financial decision to help secure their future. Nobody, no matter what they tell you, can say they can predict bubbles. More aptly put, your nations economics, and predictions thereof, do not rest on your shoulders.

The governments of the world will have to step in. Pay attention to government run programs to protect you during a recession. If you do default or get foreclosed on keep all of your records. I fled real life and joined the military after defaulting on my debts. In my last year of service I challenged the total of my debt as reported by creditors and won because they couldn't prove custody or the amounts.

There's a long wind between "oh shit, things look they can be bad" and "oh shit, I'm fucked". Don't jump on the latter outlook just yet, try to ride this out and look for opportunities that will help you safely navigate these times.
I took "solved" as in "the computers can whip our asses sixteen ways to Sunday".

But the competition in chess was never about the computers, it's about the players. And that's true for many sports, otherwise we'd only ever watch the Olympics.

I don’t think the “vibrating anal beads” theory is important because people actually expect it to be true in this instance. It is more about the chrisis if a mind sport where computers defeated humans soundly and througly.

The simple fact is that computers vastly outcompete human chess players. And not just big and expensive purpose built machines but the kind of computers everyone has access to.

Furthermore at the skill levels these players are you don’t even need constant handholding from a computer. A few hints at key moments would be enough to basically shift the balance in someones favour.

So if someone wants to cheat all they have to do is to receive a few bits of information from an accomplice. The question is not even if someone cheated in that particular game, but if cheating is possible.

We can imagine all kind of spy gadgetry one could use to communicate those few bits. People have two hangups with many of them: they can be found in a security screening, or they sound too sci-fy.

The vibrating anal beads combine three properties:
- they could transfer the few bits of information needed to tilt the game in favour of a cheat.
- they are not too far fetched. You can buy them right now commercially.
- they would be very hard to detect by security arrangements. It feels very unlikely that players would agree to the kind of invasive probing which would be necessary to detect one.

So it is not that people think that this particular player in this particular game actually used vibrating anal beads. It is more about the idea that someone could cheat at chess with covert communication methods.
This sounds interesting. Do you have any reading suggestions?
It wouldn't do much good since Stockfish could easily run on a raspberry pi or similar inside of that, say, in a player's shoe
I had hopes this product would be way less draconian. People miss the real reason you should push back on eSIM-only devices! It seems that most of HN hasn't done their DD on how eSIM provisioning dosen't work unless you're a billion dollar telco incumbant..... The eSIM-only precedent telco tech giants are pushing towards is part of the time honored tradition of locking consumers out of their own hardware. Indeed, this is another version of "the carrier owns the hardware you've purchased".

TL;DR in order to provision an eSIM to live inside the eUICC (secure element inside phone); as per GSMA standards your eSIM HAS to have a key signed by a SOLE CA determined by the GSMA and the incumbent billion dollar telco industry cartel!!! With a SIM-card you have the freedom to connect to any network you want including those that aren't inside the realm of:

"Only eUICC manufacturers, and SM-SR and SM-DP hosting organisations that have successfully
been accredited by the GSMA SAS can apply for the necessary certificates from the GSMA
Certificate Issuer to participate in the GSMA approved ecosystem."

Please push back on this draconian nonsense as a whole people!!!

Look up UML (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Modeling_Language).

It is such a language, but it’s so complex that ’not everybody’ likes it.

A big problem with such languages is that you want to use diagrams to tell a story, and that story may require showing more or less details, depending on the goals of the diagram.

Consequently, you may both need a generic “A is related to B” arrow between objects and specialized “A owns B, so if A is destroyed, so will B”, “A knows B, and nobody else does, but if A is destroyed, B may live on”, “A knows B, and they more or less are equals”, “A knows B, and so may up to 5 others”, etc.
It depends on how you view your phone. Is it a single use appliance? Or is it a general use computer?

That was not the reason.

I know its hard to understand if you are never in such a role. People can be very irrational and will look to blame someone in charge when bad things happen. Even if they are the cause of those bad things.

I had one guy that got obsessed with crypto and was doing crypto trading instead of his work, not showing up/logging in, not making deadlines. He went off on me for like 30 min when I fired him and never spoke to me again despite warnings and discussions about the problem before getting fired for one example. In his irrational opinion I was holding him back from getting rich by expecting him to do his job.
I know, I was thinking C# does something like that though, so I was hoping it would be achievable.

The annoying part about the scripting language is that if something is written in Go, you want developers to also work in Go, otherwise the people writing plugins for your software, knowing better the API and use-cases, have a disconnection with the language actually used for the software, losing potential opportunities for contributions.
Yeah, I was at Red Hat for a bit, and loved the business model - sup, we employ a lot of the lead devs on FOSS projects you use, so we've got fantastic support for you.

And that's it, no "enterprise editions", the only extra code you're paying for is backported critical patches, and deterministic builds of software (and all its dependencies) from source. RH puts a huge amount of effort into those builds, it's incredibly painful as an RH dev sometimes, but it seems to be a huge factor in building trust.

But, I can see why it doesn't really work for other companies, step 1 is "Be Red Hat, and have Red Hat's reputation."

I've been involved in Kafka a bit, and it's been very sad seeing Confluent devs having to deprioritise work on FOSS Kafka to focus work on stuff that, well, they can sell for money, but I totally get why.
I meant the new version of Esolang, v96.2, wouldn’t be explicitly supported by your project.

Then don't use them instead of telling everyone else what they can or cannot use. There are plenty of apps that never get made because of anti-competitive App Store policies and fees. Nobody is forcing you to use any competition that flourishes when anti-competitive app distribution policies that artificially restrict consumer choice are dropped.

I always find it interesting that Facebook and Google get trotted out as potential boogeymen whenever the topic of greater consumer choice on all computing platforms is brought up, because such arguments conveniently downplay the very real and actually present enemy to user freedom that is Apple literally dictating what products consumers are allowed to use on their own devices.
If you have a criminal record, you will not be hired into certain jobs. Try getting a job in a cloud vendor such as AWS, Azure or GCP. They do background checks for a reason — you will have access to customer data of banks, the CIA, and other high-risk data. These cloud vendors have controls, and one of the controls is to not hire people who don't pass background checks.

So yes, if you have admitted to cheating in chess in the past, you lose certain privileges, such as competing in world chess championship.
> Shuffle is the SIMD's killer app

A shame that AVX512 only has pshufb (aka: permute), and is missing the GPU-instruction "bpermute", aka backwards permute.

pshufb is effectively a "gather" instruction over a AVX register. Equivalent to GPU permutes.

bpermute, in GPU land, is a "scatter" instruction over a vector register. There's no CPU / AVX equivalent of it. But I keep coming up with good uses of the bpermute instruction (much like pshufb is crazy flexible, its inverse, the backwards permute, is also crazy flexible).

--------

Almost any code that's finding itself "gathering" data across a vector register, will inevitably "scatter" the data back at some point.

Much like how "pext" is the "gather" instruction for 64-bits, you need pdep to handle the equal-and-opposite case. Its incredibly silly that AVX / AVX512 has implemented only one-half of this concept (gather / pshufb / aka Permute).

I wish for the day that Intel/AMD implements (scatter / backwards-pshufb / aka Backwards-Permute).

-------

Fortunately, I got Vega64 and NVidia Graphics Cards with both permute and bpermute instructions for high-speed shuffling of data. But CPU-space should benefit from this concept too.
Statistical methods may include observation during the gathering of data. Whether or not change is measurably different from adversarial change depends on the variables chosen. It is clear that two distinct disciplines can approach the same problem with varying results without invalidating the entire other discipline. There is a difference between sound argument and a straw man employing equivocation. A qualitative difference.

The challenge in technical leadership is letting go of the specifics and delegating them and only in very rare specific circumstances issuing orders.

There are a lot of "person who did everything" types who end up in leadership positions who try very hard to continue doing everything of any importance instead of appropriate delegation and leadership instead of control. I've had that problem, it's hard to let go.
I don't think Hans is very respectful. At this point it is all subjective anyway, and you'd moved the goalposts I feel, so good luck to you.

I bought a box of beyond meat burgers. They taste terrible compared to 4oz of beef with a little salt, and you have to keep them frozen and get the ones you want to cook out to thaw the night before.

I am probably not going to be able to finish the box.

Edit: Most veggie burgers that don’t pretend to be meat are better than these things in my opinion. They are in the uncanny valley.

I wasn't saying microservices are bad (personally I love them, maybe too much:). Just that making technology decisions based on someone's else's anecdotes, in the absence of any technical understanding, is a bad way to go.
> to produce one billion quarter-pounder burgers (113 grams each), it takes 1.2 million cows living for three years on 8,600 square kilometres of land (and then slaughtering them). The same number of cultured burgers would require the muscle stem cells of just one living cow, and they'd take only about a month and a half to grow.
I’ve never even heard of anyone getting promoted by saying “this app is perfect, let’s leave it alone except for bug fixes.” The overwhelming incentive for everyone involved in most commercial software work is to continually make changes, necessary or not.
There are ways to still maintain API compatibility in that case (Windows does it all the time), and it’s also not a reason to require projects not affected by those changes to recompile with the newest Xcode version each year. I’m maintaining a Swift library/framework that doesn’t use any iOS APIs at all, only basic Swift standard library calls, and I still have to produce a new build each year from unchanged source code so that the library can be consumed with the new Xcode version. That’s just insane.

Docker request limits are kind of a pain to deal with in Github Actions. This recently bit us, and no amount of logging into a _paid_ docker account would rectify the problem.

As it turns out, images are pulled at the start of the run, which means your docker login will have no effect if you're currently bumping into these pull limits. This is made worse by the fact that the images themselves are controlled in the remote actions you're using, not something in your own codebase.

So you're left with either: forking the action and controlling it yourself, or hoping the maintainer will push to the Github registry.
I would love to use a proper authenticator app or security key for everything important, but the reality we live in is that many financial institutions still only support phone-based 2FA. If CloudFlare ould force them all to add support for proper 2FA, that would be fantastic, but I don't think that's an option.

If they can make SIMs more secure in the meantime, that's a win, and a very important one.
