For two years I've been remote working from home on the PC located in office via Remote Desktop.
While ZeroTier is still enabled as fallback solution to get access to work PC (as well as Chrome remote)
Main workforce became Tailscale.

With Zerotier RD connection were not stable. Even using same ISP at home and at work don't help a lot.
With Tailscale I've forgot about this kind of issues. It's just works.

Also now I'm constantly using Tailscale as a VPN on mobile devices.
> The new reddit site is fast. Yes initial load time is like 2 seconds, but after that, everything else is instant.

Disagree. I just gave it a try on a desktop (!) browser – when switching from the thread list into a particular comment thread, "new" reddit is definitively slower than old.reddit.com, both visually (after the thread page as such displays, it spends another second or two loading the actual comments, whereas on old.reddit.com everything renders instantly), and measured end-to-end (from clicking on the "comments" link to the moment the comments actually appear) as well.

On my underpowered phone, "new" reddit fares even worse, and never mind all that additional "you can only view this in the app"-crap that was thankfully never backported to old.reddit.com.
Or boiled water.
Did you just pull that out of thin air?

Uh? I guess it depends on what 'atomic' means but in the real world that isn't the case.
I wonder if under that system the culture that leads to emotional connection to some particular spot of land and home on top of it would decline?

No. I'll gladly stop eating animals when we have lab-grown meat some day but I'm not interested in these plant substitutes at all. If I want to eat plants, I'll have plants that aren't pretending to be meat.
No, it's not a choice between "lock in" and "security issue". Google is both "lock in" and "security issue". A Solo key is neither.

The tradeoff is, as always, between security and convenience.
Oh, it's the same Nick Clegg? Do you have any idea why he didn't insist on a new electoral system when he had the chance, even if it meant sacrificing everything else?
BQN brings back joy of programming for me — I was using it for Advent Of Code 2021 and it was so much fun.

Easy, have your "load/save_image" calls the OS provided APIs for image handling, while on UNIX assume the libjpeg-dev or libpng-dev are already installed via the OS package system, have the makefile targets adjusted as needed per platform.

Nowadays, use cmake + conan/vcpkg as alternative as well.

Do we need to spoon-feed everything?
Honest question: why has it taken so long? I remember reading an article about the EE department at SDSU running a similar test in 1989. That was 33 years ago. Why aren’t we all driving electric cars by now?
Hmm… That’s interesting.

I seem to have upset people. I’d certainly be interested in knowing why, as my comment directly addresses the parent, and does not coarsen the discourse.

Does that Xiaomi model come without ads? The fact that I even have to ask that is an indicator on its own.

They don't, 37% of the people without collage degrees are never unionised for example. They do in fact track how large fraction of the career is spent in a union job, there's none of these exclusions you've imagined for some reason.

The emphasis on "persistent" comes from the fact that most of the total gains arise in the later parts of a career, so if you spend less than 49% of the career in a union there's not as much benefit at age 65 (if you lack a collage degree, if you have a degree it is on average better to not join a union).

Ah, that's interesting. So if I use Apple keys to log in to sites, I can never log in to them with my Android phone? That's unfortunate, though I don't see this being sustainable for too long, I imagine (and hope) they'll open it up to alternate authenticators soon.
On Sovereignty and Identity
The plant is near the mines in northern Sweden. They could in theory be transporting the hydrogen, but hydrogen can be a bit tricky to transport and it obviously would cost more money. The green hydrogen process is also fairly expensive right now (despite what people might say), and the cost is not just attached to the electricity price. They had a person from the project discuss the value proposition just a few weeks ago in Swedish news. Green steel need both subsidies and green credits, but even so the end cost is landing at a few percent higher than regular steel. The argument was that even if it cost more its better for the environment, and this is a pilot program so maybe the cost will continue down in the future.
They keep loading it up with more and more applets.
FWIW my company is a customer so we've already got a shared Slack/ account reps :P Feel free to reach out to colin@graplsecurity.com though (me) if you want to chat about it.
Both could be done with libraries.

Things that you (can) put away behind abstractions, layers or wrappers.

I'm the author and tried to convey clearly the difference between libraries and frameworks. Both allow code-reuse, both allow "standing on shoulders". But one allows you to do so with freedom of movement, independence and domain constraints (libraries) whereas the other locks you in, enforces architectures and designs and requires workarounds when your domain-requirements differ from what the framework dictates.

I was very unhappy until the day I dedicated my life to helping others.

Now I am the founder of a non-profit and despite taking a much lower salary, working many more hours and feeling much more stress, I have become a very happy and fulfilled person.

Once the center of your life revolves around helping others, rather than yourself, it becomes a lot easier to endure all the crap life throws at you.
Works pretty well on Windows.
You should have installed it already via the OS package system, or the modern alternative, conan/vcpkg.
Thanks! Didn't know this existed
And syncs, not copies/moves.
I don't have that experience. I have personally run many different services, and most of them starts in seconds. The exceptions are usually those that start some process at startup (like syncing jobs, leader elections, database migrations, waiting for database locks etc.), but that is not something specific to Spring.
Picnic Open-Sources Error Prone Support
Being built on top of wireguard is a plus - although it's a shame tailscale (for good/architectural reasons) doesn't support using standard/kernel mode wireguard.

ZeroTier is source-available - but invents a separate protocol, and so misses out on some shared scrutiny / feedback.
IMO vesting is a part of compensation but it's conditional. If the past work was subpar I would fire before and give distribute to other employees. I would explain why it's the case.
If it was done starting in 2020 there would not even be two whole years of data, doesn't seem very useful.

And the collage premium they give is for a lifetime ending in 2019, that's not very long ago.
It's been years since I built it, and then it just worked, though I think you're less likely to run into problems if you do a 32 bit build (it's not like any of the applications running in it are going to need a larger address space). But if you just want to play with it, it's probably better to look at one of the distributions, like Icaros (I don't like all of the choices made with Icaros, but it's a good starting point to have something functional rather than just a near empty default setup - in particular it includes support for integrating 68k Amiga apps into the host system):

http://icarosdesktop.org/

Icaros can run native (booting directly into it), virtualised, or hosted on Linux (or Windows, but I think that is less than optimal still)
Complex measures are a thing in mathematics since… well, possibly since measure theory was. The thing is expressing this in a way which is understandable by a physicist (measure spaces are not exactly “simple”).

I'm in the exact same boat. It's not that I don't like Android, I've even built custom ROMs and still write code for Android apps monthly, it's just that it has lost its value as a daily driver.
You hire a lawyer for that specific work. At $14M ARR, you can afford to hire one when needed. They don't have to be a full-time employee. Same goes for accounting or any other operational staffing. Part-time or project-based contracting works great for such things.
Also their CPUs with Radeon GPU are a lot more performing than Intel equivalents. You can grab a 5600G or 5700G alone, no external video card needed, and expect to play most recent games, albeit not at maximum details. For those not obsessed with gaming at the highest possible details, this translates in saving some serious money.
A search for "5700g gaming" on YouTube returns some examples.
Incompetent management is far worse than a bad colleague, imo.
When you provide what is legally considered to be a service, it comes with legal guarantees. You don't generally get to escape by saying something doesn't count, no matter how upfront about it, that you are. Consumer protections exist, regardless of whether you say they shouldn't apply.

One of the guarantees that probably applies in this situation, especially as it is California which tend to have a few stronger guarantees, is fitness-to-purpose. If there is a service, where an exchange is taking place, there is a guarantee that the product should be considered fit-to-purpose.

> The warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is not limited to sales by a merchant as is the warranty of merchantability. It may be imposed on any seller possessing sufficient skill and judgment to justify the buyer’s reliance. The Code drafters suggest, however, that a nonmerchant seller will only in particular circumstances have that degree of skill and judgment necessary to justify imposing the warranty.” (4 Witkin, Summary of California Law (10th ed. 2005))

The products themselves are unmarked, which means it doesn't matter how upfront that they are with the first customer, because the product is allowed to be resold, and then the limitation on purpose aren't guaranteed to be seen anymore, but it needs to be, if you want to reduce your liability.
In what sense? The design or contrast? Or the language used?

English isn't my first language, so I can imagine I could do better (I'm the author btw). If it's the design: I really need to tweak it a little further, but rather spend that time writing content than tweaking the blog itself :D
Have to disagree, it makes them more dependent on a few mega doners (Google, Microsoft, etc.).

> The Patriot Act got extended without fuss

That’s not quite accurate. Specific provisions from the original act, fewer each time, were extended.

> It contains many sunset provisions beginning December 31, 2005, approximately four years after its passage. Before the sunset date, an extension was passed for four years which kept most of the law intact. In May 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunset Extensions Act of 2011, which extended three provisions.[3] These provisions were modified and extended until 2019 by the USA Freedom Act, passed in 2015.[4] In 2020, efforts to extend the provisions were not passed by the House of Representatives, and as such, the law has expired.[5]

This looks super cool! Typically, products/projects claiming "browser is the new OS" either,

* run a full blown browser in the cloud and stream back pixels

* emulate a native application in the browser (like, github.dev)

Both are okay but per user backends feel like a nicer primitive to build applications with. Apps that run locally in the browser but can access cloud compute/storage on demand.
The architecture behind Stable Difussion
Yes:

> We must, unfortunately, restrict our sample to men for both practical and substantive reasons. Most centrally, the large majority of female earners are categorized as “spouse” in the PSID, and spouse union membership only began to be collected consistently in 1979. We thus cannot measure union membership for approximately a quarter of the potential career span for women.

> Furthermore, we run into multilayered selectivity issues for female employment and unionization in the cohort under study. In 1969, fewer than half of prime-aged women participated in the labor market. Many women in this cohort also faced significant normative pressure and discrimination following childbirth to remain at home, resulting in larger proportions of women in this cohort exiting the labor market (Goldin and Mitchell 2017). Labor unions in this period were male-dominated and had sexist practices of recruitment and upward advancement, particularly among the membership core and leadership structure (Lichenstein 2012). As a result, unionized women working in consistent, full-time employment were a select group overcoming a vast institutional system of gender discrimination, biasing comparisons that can be made across non-union and non-working women.
It is ultra-processed food and often not even environmentally friendly. For instance, Beyond Meat uses coconut oil so we can imagine South East Asia's coconut plantations expanding over the rainforest and oil shipped across the world to produce ultra-processed food for people who want to 'save' the planet...

This is business, these companies are interesting in profit by exploiting people's concerns. Whether the product isactually helps is far from obvious.
Amazing! NFT Collections of your favorite artist on the Blockchain!!!
You also end up taxing actual value that can only be used by one person. If your house is close to your job or your parents, or if your children or if your children have gone to school the previous 5 years in the neighborhood and don't want to leave their friends, you'd be willing to pay more to keep it. Now, you actually have to pay more to keep it.

We shouldn't be taxing people on the fact that their house is near their job. And if they don't raise the price of their house, someone will eventually buy it at the market value of the house, and the value will simply have been destroyed.
If you inflate a balloon with a water droplet on it, it's possible that the balloon becomes 20x its initial size, but the water droplet stays "compact" (and does not increase) due to its surface tension.
"By decomposing the image formation process into a sequential application of denoising autoencoders, diffusion models (DMs) achieve state-of-the-art synthesis results on image data and beyond. Additionally, their formulation allows to apply them to image modification tasks such as inpainting directly without retraining. However, since these models typically operate directly in pixel space, optimization of powerful DMs often consumes hundreds of GPU days and inference is expensive due to sequential evaluations. To enable DM training on limited computational resources while retaining their quality and flexibility, we apply them in the latent space of powerful pretrained autoencoders. In contrast to previous work, training diffusion models on such a representation allows for the first time to reach a near-optimal point between complexity reduction and spatial downsampling, greatly boosting visual fidelity."
To be honest, it's probably best to just wait it out a few months.

One poor-performing employee isn't worth the risk of destroying the morale and trust of all the others.
It is a myth that C and C++ are free of such issues, it is always a matter of how much one cares about performance.

I think it's very rare to give reasons for firing someone.

If someone was a bad performer, they team knows it's because of bad performance, but reasons given will be "cost cutting", "personal matters", or "they've moved to a better project."

If someone was fired right before vesting, and the reason given was "bad performance", everyone "knows" that management is just being cheap.
Not all of us.

Gigantic phones are off putting. Every few years Apple tries making a mini and that’s the time to buy.

I’m fairly tall and have size appropriate hands (I think). I struggle to reach the top corners of my 12 mini. It’s very irritating.
> (considered very expensive in the US, where most enthusiasts live)

That's very dismissive of the entire EU, which has lots of enthusiasts, and these aforementioned expensive electricity prices.

Some electricity providers in Germany even raised their prices to 1.35€/kWh (most famously DB Netz Bahnstrom plans)
Sounds nice in theory, but after decades of everything running smoothly, people forget just how instrumental certain laws were to ensure that stability.

It's a lot like anti-vaxers, anti-pasteurization, and other anti-science fads. And I can point to the repeal of banking regs like Glass-Steagall which resulted in the ~2007 financial crisis and recession. Including a post-it note on a law isn't going to give future people the same perspective as someone who lived through the issues first-hand. If that worked, we wouldn't have voters repeatedly supporting politicians who make the same insane promises that never work.
> you can't read while driving

Hence audiobooks (and more generally, podcasts)
It's going to depend on whether the team agrees that the person is terrible though.

In recent years our management let go of two people because of "bad performance". In one case that was probably a fair assessment. The other guy just got stuck with an impossible project with absent leadership and management blamed him when nothing was finished on time.

And here we're only hearing one side of the story.
> In my experience this has been a point in favor of OTS frameworks

Its not guaranteed. I've seen many developers spend lots of time trying to get the framework they're working in to cooperate or dig through bad documentation. Framework authors are fallible too and general-purpose software is really hard to get right.
That’s me! and my domain name recently had its 25th birthday https://twitter.com/fanf/status/1577952281764454400 … I should probably scavenge some bits from that twitter thread to add to my web site.
I don't know. I'm not familiar with Georgism. It's called "erfpacht" in Dutch, and it's an old practice. Amsterdam is the only city I'm aware of that does it on this scale, but it's not unheard of elsewhere.
You could rephrase that to "murdered her cat while under the influence of mind-altering prescription drugs used with inadequate supervision". People in states of mental illness have diminished responsibility for their behavior.
I just did a comparison between almost every hashing algorithm I could find on crates.io. On my machine t1ha2 (under the t1ha crate) beat the pants off of every other algorithm. By like an order of magnitude. Others in the lead were blake3 (from the blake3 crate) and metrohash. Worth taking a look at those if you’re going for hash speed.

I don’t have the exact numbers on me right now but I can share them tomorrow (along with the benchmark code) if you’re interested.

> Fair enough, but then why did you split the trust in the first place using BYOK? Let’s think about the threat model here. Anyone leveraging privilege in the cloud or exploiting vulnerabilities in the isolation of cloud tenants, will inevitably gain access to the cryptographic services and eventually to your keys. So, do you trust the entire public cloud and its tenant? And why go through all that trouble of BYOK and separation of concerns?

Because as owner of the CMK, I can rotate it as often as I want and limit the exposure if one instance of the CMK has been exposed by the CSP.

And I can decide my own policy on having CMK shared across CSP and not be tied to just one CSP.

We are turning this into a thing now, aren't we?
Unit testing libraries are very valuable.

A unit-testing framework? What does it really do? It has a test-runner. But running software isn't some black magic, its easy and solved. It has naming conventions. But those are really just something a team can pick and never look back. It has ways to call functions based on those naming conventions. But that is really an extension to the test-runner.

Now, all the assert_contains, has_called_x, those are valuable. But easily offered as library.
