Very curious as to how this develops. Does Snapchat have a police backdoor for account access? Does LexisNexis store password leaks and sell them to the police? There are many things not being said.
History can determine who should have the highest remaining allowance.
Most of the time it's no the answer I know, it's how to find it. All I want to do is walk them through the thought process and instil some rigour in diagnostics.
Bell Labs is a good example of Icarus syndrome, I'd say they're doing that just fine.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Launches on PC in November
I misspell it as Githug far more often…
They're really doing their best to jerk around their AIB partners as much as possible, aren't they.
I don't see why any of that should require the email address. They can communicate with the customer through the app or through the car UI.

In general, apps and sites these days hoover up more info than they need simply because they can, not because it adds to the customer experience (and often doesn't help the company either). There is no incentive to be in any way judicious about what to collect and the frequent breaches show that even the companies don't value PII as something worth protecting because it's not core to their business.
> ruined a Van Gogh for a climate protest

tried to ruin. The painting was protected by a piece of protective glass. Doesn't mean these kids shouldn't be prosecuted, but the good news is that a priceless piece of cultural heritage was NOT destroyed by teenagers.
Weird post seemingly written by an intern during lunch. The pictures of "lines" scream desperate, "see! people want our cards!". I think nvidia is in deep trouble.
Microsoft preps DirectStorage 1.1 with GPU decompression for faster game loads
What is going on over there? First the confusing move to release two 4080s, now a confusing press release about unreleasing one of them, that itself reads like somebody released it prematurely?
Every single reviewer has shit on this thing... Nvidia might be semi-scared.
Vogtle Unit 3 starts nuclear fuel load
the image is boring and dumb. but a place where this is considered not safe is not a place where would want to work.
> What if they required some “expensive” proprietary battery that was sold separately?

Yes, in that case they would be sued.
MeiliSearch is really nice to work with, can recommend it. I built a Twitter bookmark search recently and used PG + MeiliSearch after using PG FTS in another project. Very happy with that choice. I like PG FTS for some use cases (internal search where you don't need the best performance) just as it's very simple and works well enough.
Why do you say that? They just pulled a cheaper sku leaving the more expensive one, no?
You're going after the wrong people here. Journalists hungry for clickbait can't wait for incompetent customer reps to tweet some stupid shit. So the "journalist" can blow it out of proportion. It's literally their bread and butter.
There are certainly employees who think that they're so uniquely valuable that it would be unthinkable for them to take a 3-4 week vacation. Their employer, for the most part, does not suffer from the same delusion.
You are assuming copying around buffers won't consume any cpu? Maybe it's perfectly fine, maybe it's not. But it needs some experiment before we can handwave it.

It's not quite aimed at IT/System admin, but Handmade Hero[0] is an excellent resource for learning how a computer works from the ground up. It starts with an excellent intro to C on Windows[1] and works its way up from there. It's really long and involved, but I've found that internalizing the general ethos is quite valuable, even if you just watch a handful of episodes.

I had a nagging feeling that there was an exception slipping my mind, thanks.

The freebie to get students hooked on a lifetime of product fits the model, they also offer (at least, used to) student discounts on services, like classes for the Apple Stores which have that. Or did? I have no idea if that's started up post-covid or not.

If they were going to give away a free charger, they may as well put it back in the box. They're good chargers, the number of people who would turn it down at checkout is a rounding error.
These examples do nothing to establish that "what man has broken, man can fix". I'm honestly appalled by the lack of scientific thinking in this thread.
I blame responsible disclosure. If your wide open infrastructure and customer data is not fair game for anyone who wants to host warez and bankrupt you, then the risk of security vulnerabilities is just another low priority business risk, we'll deal with it when it happens. It's not an existential risk.
I thought so too, but someone needs to set that in the message which perhaps they forget. The problem with Snapchat is that it is not E2EE (End to end encrypted). Snapchat seems to sit in a strange place of being a little more private than Facebook and other big tech messengers but not as private as E2EE messengers such as Matrix, XMPP, Briar, Signal.. I suppose it is because they revenue is ad based and they need some data for ad targeting. Their future seems very tenuous to me.
“I had a 89 Corvette...designed in the late 70's early 80's before computers were generally used to do so. It was a mass of shims and slotted holes to get things to line up.”

This has nothing to do with computers. Detroit just didn’t care about building decent cars back then. Mercedes and many others were able to build very nicely designed cars long before CAD/CAM was available.
That was not my point, and there are gradations in those analogies. Cookie-cutter tourist vacations are not much different than watching the corresponding youtube travelogues, except for the smells, because they are so stereotypical. There is something interesting to traveling but i wonder how much value there is in it anymore. The author himself said that traveling is like fiction to him.
Im on my phone but you could probably look in the network requests panel of your browsers developer tools to see if any request is sent to space-track.org.

Side note: does anyone know of a good tool / app for looking at things like that on iOS ?
I use both ElasticSearch/OpenSearch and Postgres Full Text Search.

It's not even close: Postgres Full Text Search is a kludge compared to Lucene-based services. It is better than nothing, so, yes, I agree with the Pareto improvement idea. But it is also much, much worse than a Lucene-based alternative. If you need something and can't support having ElasticSearch/OpenSearch (heck, even Solr) running at the same time to support full text search, then sure, use Postgres FTS. But if the queries are still too slow or you need ranking or other text/information retrieval/NLP-type features, you'll want to give up on Postgres FTS and move to something else.
Decentraland’s billion-dollar ‘metaverse’ had 38 active users in one day
I'll take any wins, but the stakes here are so high that it is a little depressing if things like this change people's minds.

Speaking English doesn't confer magic powers. The same people who made up the the communist/nazi secret police are in every government, the only question is if they are in the ascendant. The stakes are very high, and we've seen in the 20th century that the situation can turn sharply and without warning that most people will accept to the point where some violent idiot is running the show.

In some senses, a constant string of leaked nudes out of police departments is the best case. At least that will keep people asking how to preserve privacy. I'd rather have this Wilson bloke looking at people rather than the return of Lavrentiy Beria. Mr. Wilson is on the heroic end of the spectrum compared to what will happen with these spy networks, which are most effective when wielded politically.
Where the car analogy breaks down is the mechanic. If the mechanic can't reliably fix my issues, I'm taking my business elsewhere.

If the cloud provider doesn't … well it takes a lot to move a stack to a different cloud provider.

And what matters is results: sometimes with a car, I need to know a bit about how the car functions in order to help the mechanic. If I know more, I can sometimes point the mechanic in the right direction. And sometimes, you're broken down on the side of the road and you don't have a mechanic, and you need "how to change tires", "how much force is too much force on a lug?", "how to jump", "how to repair/replace battery enough to get to the mechanic".

Sometimes, I get better answers from cloud provider if I can describe to them exactly where they've gone wrong.

> and abstractions exist so not everybody has to learn everything.

In an ideal world. Problem with cloud stuff is that support is usually dumb as bricks, and the only way to get anything done is to break the glass on the abstraction & get your hands dirty.
I'm guessing that the block size is a power of 2, but it's not divisible by 3, meanwhile the pixel size (and so the line width) is divisible by 3. Misalignments in a line will cause diagonal patterns.
>There are distinct advantages to making the internet unlivable, so that insane comments like this don’t have to exist anymore.

I always imagine these kinds of things starting in a conversation of a bunch of stoners munching on Funyuns while chugging Mountain Dew. "Like, dude, it would be so cool, if like, we made a giant sun shade in space. That'd be so rad!" Only someone thought it sounded smart when heard from outside the circle which is the really sad part.
First learned programming in Turbo Pascal and have fond memories of that IDE. Thanks for posting this. Would love to learn of a framework for reconfiguring this UX to do whatever I want (menus, scripting, etc).
That's a fantastic idea. I got my start in tech by being a Jr Linux Admin and I haven't had the opportunity for mentorship beyond a few roles.

I've learned a lot since in the last five years, but I still have a lot of respect for the IT Greybeards.
Corporate fines make a lot more sense once you understand they're not there to stop the behavior, they're there to make sure the shakedown ensures the state gets their cut. They don't actually want to destroy the company, they want their piece of the action by proxy.
Cards are already made, they will be launched in the future for sure as RTX 4070Ti.
Rust's memory safety is never a 100% thing, but that is no argument, as long as it's a significant enough improvement...
Also notable is this statement in the context of modern SaaS products:

"Who knows whether a new version will be available and usable when the current one stops working?"

With SaaS products the company can go out of business; they can change the product on you without your opt-in, making it unusable (or less usable) for your purposes and there is no way to downgrade to the previous version; they can stop supporting your web browser; your account can get disabled or compromised; new policies and regulations on data retention and privacy could render a particular SaaS product unusable for your purposes.

What are you meant to do if a SaaS tool you depend on suddenly stops working? How do you install the old version and get back to work?
> Companies already all push their 50 required apps on your private phone...

There's a very simple answer to that: "Just say no!". I've told multiple employers over the years I will not put anything remotely close to spyware on my personal phone. If they provide a phone & plan, that's acceptable.

If you're too timid to tell people no, just lie and say you only have a dumb phone or no phone.
For software development, I feel like being "overemployed" would be relatively easy as a mid-level or senior developer. Job #1 is your 'mainstay' job with decent pay/benefits (but requires more concentration), Job #2 would be the 'side' job that you could fulfill your responsibilities with minimal effort.

A full-stack dev with 7ish years of experience could easily create/maintain CRUD apps for a smaller company with minimal effort while focusing the rest of his efforts on a more challenging role at a larger company.
The GPU cost too damn high.

The name is bad, so we're unlaunching it? Is something else going on?

These big companies really need to get naming input from someone other than marketing teams. The second the 4080 and 4080 (not a typo) got announced, Nvidia was shredded by the media. It was immediately and obviously clear to basically everyone that this was a bad naming system and only a bunch of navel gazers could have thought it was "good".

I get that Engineers tend to be more practical in their names, and don't have the finesse that marketing is looking for. But at least some sanity checks would be good....
I second this. The people who want the knowledge read.
How is there vendor lock-in? The LiteFS & Litestream code is all open source under Apache 2.
Love this! Bubbletea is a great library for TUIs. I've been a long time user of hnterm (https://github.com/ggerganov/hnterm) which has a nice feature for collapsing comment threads, but doesn't look as nice otherwise.
Dead.

"Better to Die on Your Feet Than Live on Your Knees" as they say.
Same -- I can appreciate there maybe confusion but this was done by nVidia before. There is a precedent -- though I guess with marketing the customer is always ultimately right.
Setting up a LAMP stack used to be the starting point for learning web dev. I like the idea of starting with plain text first.

How to Store Data for 1k Years
Depends on your jurisdiction, really. Even in Western countries the laws differ on what is slander and what isn't.
The "4080 12GB" name was misleading almost to the point of fraud because it led customers to think it would have the same performance as a 4080. I don't object to the product itself, just the name. Removing it from the market is the right move. Maybe they'll relaunch it with a non-misleading name.
Friendly reminder that a private company with launch capability currently is massively increasing the space junk problem and about to trigger the Kessler scenario for a quick buck and internet access without cables, while at the same time ruining surface-based astronomy.

So why stop there? And as always, the Simpsons have predicted it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3LbxDZRgA4
China's surveillance state grows under Xi
For those not in the know the "4080 12GB" as compared to the 4080 16GB was not just the same card with a little less RAM, as you might assume from the name. It also had ~20% fewer GPU cores and was significantly slower for that reason.
Oh also shameless plug -- If you liked all the F/OSS search engines in this post, you're going to love Awesome F/OSS[0][1] -- I'm going to highlight a new open source project every day for uhhh forever (terms and conditions apply).

I know of at least 5 more search engines I can't wait to share and they're burning a hole in my bookmarks folder.

Also, donating 60% of subscription revenue towards supporting the open source project of your choice (or one that was featured if you have no preference) -- you can sign up for that as well[2].

John Carmack Admits That the Metaverse Is Absolutely Terrible
I really like the resources reccomended on teachyourselfcs.com
What is the status of FUSE on macOS?
ABIs will have already made tons of cards, boxed up and ready to ship out, just contractually unable to sell them on-masse quite yet. And now they really can't sell them until they've reprogrammed and reboxed them to show up as (almost certainly) 4070 instead of 4080 because that's essentially what they are. The 4070 wasn't missing from the lineup: the GPU chip on the 4080 12gb model is literally a completely different chip from the one on the 4080 16gb.

(Think of it like Intel calling the 14th gen i5 "an i9". Or heck, Exor deciding to label a Fiat sports car "a Ferrari 812 V4" while keeping the real thing "a Ferrari 812 GTS").

And of course, that's an gigantic dick move because it costs NVidia nothing to announce this, but probably means no one will even be able to make a profit on the 4080 12GB cards they already made (which a cynic might say was precisely NVIDIA's goal here, as plausibly deniable punishment dished out to the remaining ABIs for daring to let one of their own disobey the corporate overlord).

If EVGA hadn't already broken their partnership, this definitely would have make them do so. "Thank you for jumping through our hoops, after paying for the entire course yourself, now make a new course because you displeased your master" is not a great way to treat your partners.
Cat IIIc landings are no joke.

Patents form a large part of the enterprise issue.

If you're going to have to pay Qualcomm for the patents, you don't have much margin as a separate vendor and you might not save enough money and gain enough control to justify it as an in-house design. If you're Apple, you also don't want to put your chip out there and see it fail to connect to some towers than Qualcomm chips do which makes iPhone look bad; you really want your product in the testing matrix the base stations use, so if it fails to work, it's a base station bug, not a handset bug.
>But how is that Apple's responsibility?

"Apple's responsibility" is determined, in countries with consumer protection laws, by that country's authority. In this case, it's Apple responsibility because Brazil says it's good for their consumers. It does stand to reason that having more high quality chargers from Apple is better than having fewer.
That's what stuck out to me as well. This legitimately reads like it's by someone who's never written marketing copy. And what the heck is with the last picture of the box buckled into a desk chair?
There used to be (maybe still is) a pretty robust couch surfing crowd in the days before airbnb. I did a decent amount of traveling that way in my 20s around the world and was able to accomplish this that way. Good times.
> excluding candidates who otherwise do as well

But the explicit, stated goal of diversity efforts is specifically to exclude candidates who otherwise might do well, but are not diverse, because non-diverse teams can't perform as well as diverse teams.
Every hardware reviewer complained a about calling something xx80 while the card performs as a xx70 is a scamy move.
This is why smart companies offer sabbaticals after 4-5 years. It forces the senior employees to teach their peers how to do their jobs and make sure they don't have any critical information or the only ones who can access a resource.
So.. it's like gunicorn (pre-fork web server) but for PHP and built on top of Caddy?

Looks neat!

It should be about motivation, and most people are best motivated by being paid adequately, not being harassed and being able to maintain a work-life balance. It doesn't hurt if you feel that you are making a difference at work either.

Now in most culture-obsessed companies this is not how it works, instead you are being gaslighted into sacrificing yourself for the company.
I think this was one of the big differences from Scheme vs CL.

Scheme, especially R5RS which is what I played around with the most, was about purity and simplicity. It wasn't really a practical/pragmatic language (though practical Schemes existed, like Racket), it was almost a "group study" in functional programming and greater programming concepts.

Common Lisp of course, was a practical/pragmatic language from the start. So of course you use vectors / hash maps / object-oriented programming.

-------

That being said, I fondly remember a lot of my scheme code, even if it was a bit quick-and-dirty. Its a paradigm that clearly works for a ton of problems.
I hear you. I have the same feelings on "web developers" these days. A lot of them start with some framework and cannot write a simple Form submission in HTML. Many cannot explain the difference between a regular Form submission and an AJAX submission but they surely know how to do ajax.
im not working currently but at my last job of 5 years I took between 6-8 weeks of pto a year. 2-3 week trips internationally. my gf works a little more then i do on trips her unlimited pto isnt as flexible.

> choice of accommodations?

I have to make sure there is working space for 2 and good wifi and internet so I had to pay a little more on those trips and carefully read reviews and look at all the pictures. I'm not a work from a coffee shop person. I need quiet.

> impacts your itinerary

Not so much, though we don't really plan that much. While working you can stay a little longer. So it becomes do one thing in the afternoon, or in the morning. I like trying lots of new food and exploring cuisine so filling the day with work then eating is fine with me. I did the work-cation thing more on surf trips where I was surfing a lot, less tourist focused stuff. Did this in bali, kauai, puerto rico and europe
Track records of accomplishments and experience show that someone can apply what they know. I may know from books or videos how to build a bridge, but if I’ve never built one I can’t show that I can apply what I supposedly know in a useful way.

Show, don’t tell, in other words. A documented track record comes closer to showing than just listing “skills” one supposedly has.
I would say “yes” and “no” are locale specific. Why not German “ja” and “nein”, French “oui” and “non” (with the advantage of being of the same, short, length), etc? Yes, “true” and “false” are English words, but in programming circles, IMO transcend locale.

(The more locale agnostic ⊤ and ⊥ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verum and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_tack), IMO are a bit elitist and difficult to type)
Yes, this is bizarre and cryptic. I kept rereading it a few times because I thought I for sure missed them telling me what gets renamed to what now.
Here is what I would suggest. Write it down in a blog post or something and make it easy to find. After that, it's out of your hands. If you think it has value there are at least a few other people who would as well.

To add it further. If it required some cable that could be considered standard enough so people can buy it anywhere from anyone, then the answer would be "no".

AFAIK, technically nobody ever deemed any cable standard enough. I am confident (but IANAL) you would win the suit if you require a USB A to USB C cable, but you will probably get sued.
Why does Snapchat not have E2EE (End to end encryption)?
Reminds me of the time I first used the internet.

People were always telling me to use Google if I needed some information.

But I didn't speak English very well and always assumed it was goggle. Took me months to find the mistake.

I just assumed I'm too dumb for the internet and used Lycos or something.
