Oddly, the online experience is just the opposite. Looking at sofas, the IKEA website is the easiest to deal with. It has filtering that covers all the criteria I was needed to check. So the process was, filter out all the items I definitely don't want, sort by price, skip ones that don't quite fit (their size filtering is inexact, which is a limitation) then go and view the one of two or three of interest.

By contrast, the process many other sites want you to follow is:

Select one of a meaningless list of made up names, presumably do they can apply price discrimination to you .

Select by colour. The least rational choice is the only one you are allowed to make using an efficient mechanism

Check the details of a long list of sofas until you find one that will actually fit your room

Fail, and go back and choose another random name.

(Ended up getting one from nabru rather than IKEA, whose website is not too bad either. They don't make it that clear but they actually only have 2 lines and everything else is an option, so you can get the exact sofa to fit your space if you ignore the silly branding section and use the design tool)
Absolutely incredible to make a big deal about "donating" all this stuff, and then decide what you actually want is a big fat Pentagon contract.
As a native speaker, my reply is: no[1]

Firstly this appears to be a way to boast about the size of your vocabulary. That's great, but, frankly you are walking into a bigarsed zone of unintended connotations. Its more than likely to do the exact opposite.

Second, half of the suggestions are wrong. for example "very ashamed" is not the same as repentant. shame and regret are two similar things, but not the same. same with "very healthy" being a synonym for exuberant. Exuberant is full of energy, not feeling healthy. again linked but not the same.

All of you who want to sound either more "well read", or more native, this website will lead you astray.

All of you who are non-native, this website will confuse you and make you question your understanding. listen to bbc radio4/read the financial times, it will be better for you and there is wide range of styles to choose from (in the case of the BBC its free too)

using 'very' is perfectly fine, just try to limit it's use to once a sentence at the very minimum(no you can't swap very minimum for "the least" maybe "at the very least"). "Very" adds emphasis in a clear and understandable way. in other words, it can make thing very readable, without very much effort. (yes I am taking the piss.)

How do you know that someone chooses to disable JavaScript in their browser?

Answer: Don't worry, they'll tell you about it.
Yes, this is definitely a problem for a full pixel-streamed apps. Although we’re able to pixel stream an existing X11 app, our vision is that new applications will be rendered by the DOM (so that it supports any a11y features the browser does) and pixel-stream only the component that benefits from pixel streaming. For example, in a visual effects tool, only the rendered video frame is compute heavy, so only that component would be rendered remotely.

In addition to the a11y benefits, this fits our general vision of how apps should work, which is that you shouldn’t need a round-trip to the edge to do a UI paint.
Equifax seems to have been given data for a specific purpose of their client and then used it for another internal purpose.

From a GDPR perspective this would probably be seen as a massive violation exposing Equifax to serious fines.

From a security certification perspective as this is now public knowledge and the company seems to be unrepentant Equifax clients can not claim their are entrusting their data to a company with proper security controls. Equifax should fail their next security certification audit for this.

Nice data point. This is also relevant beyond qsort vs std::sort. Some implementations of Quicksort use a 3-way partition to save work for skewed inputs (if the pivot occurs often, no need to recurse for all those values).

We have found that in the SIMD context, those two comparisons are expensive enough to make this no longer worthwhile. We instead special-case subarrays with one and two unique values, which can be about 4x as fast on real data vs uniform-random data.

> If there is an economic crisis and you forbid firing, the only solution is to close companies. Societe re organizes itself at each crisis, so the people laid off need to find new ways

Firing isn't entirely forbidden for a start.

Secondly, if companies know that firing has a cost they're more likely to grow their headcount in line with what they're able to support. Making firing cheap only serves to encourage the type of behaviour that leads to instability in an economic crisis.

> Of course employment is an exchange of promises between employer and employees to bring stability for less money and less risks. But if the exchange benefits both sides, there is no reason to forbid both parties to negotiate whatever they prefer. In Europe there are too many legal hurdles (called "protection" of course they're going to choose a positive word !)

The vast majority of employee/employer relationships have a power balance that's vastly in favour of the employer. Even for those of us lucky enough to be in tech, we've seen that employers are more than willing to secretly conspire in order to drive employee wages below what would have been the market rate.

"Equifax investigated and fired at least 24 remote workers for secretly holding second jobs."

"secretly" ? Why you'd need to tell your employer that in the first place ?
The argument is that JS-heavy site design indicates worthless content on average. Not that it's easier to maintain for the site owner (which might or might not be the case), or more realistically, creates job opportunities for "web developers".
Why 11/12? I have 13 and my kernel is 4.14. They said these got added in 5.1/5.2 right? Android seems to have wildly varying kernels within versions.
Hazard pointers, epoch reclamation yeah are both examples of tools to work around the lack of GC, but they require new work to figure out how to apply them and they harm your throughput which is probably why you wanted these data structures in the first place.

If I'm paying you as an employer for a tenporary full time stint, say 50 hrs. work/week and you're not actually punching in and out of time clock for me to track you, I might have suspicions that you're in fact short changing me on the time or quality of work you contracted if you're also working another job. I might be wrong, and you'd have a right to contest that, but I'd probably be right more than wrong on average.

If you are an actual employee of mine it's even more likely you are in breach.
Yeah, happens to all of us, don't feel bad :-)

Some submissions get unnoticed and some others with the exact same link gain traction and start having comments and being upvoted.

That has nothing to do with Node.
I used to work for the government on systems with extremely sensitive data. I’m talking… penitentiary consequences for data leaks. 90% of the Information Security employees didn’t even have a background in tech OR security.

You’d be surprised how incompetent an auditor can be if the security framework simply requires them to blindly fill in responses on boilerplate spreadsheets based on the department’s word alone.

For example, risk assessments are performed for all new applications requested by employees.
InfoSec: Does this COTS web application have X security control which protects data in transit via encryption acceptable for use in our operating environment?

Some bozo from marketing: Yeah, I’m pretty sure.

In truth, neither of them are sure. The requester didn’t check, and the auditor saw the word “encryption” on the vendor’s website along with a green padlock in the address bar and that was good enough.

The auditor doesn’t even know how check the ciphers being used for this sketchy web application. The control also requires TLS 1.2+ due to the sensitive nature of the data. The auditor marks the security control as “Met” and approves the software request.

The auditor is completely incompetent, but is used as a pawn in an elaborate game of “security theater” to abstract away liability.

Also, even if the hypothetical security control in the example above wasn’t met, the head of marketing (System Owner) could request an exception be created to skip that security control.

Wait, qzx_pierri, you’re telling me that the security control can be skipped? How the hell is that a security CONTROL?

I don’t know, and that’s why I quit that depressing industry. To everyone reading this: Stay paranoid, and protect your data yourself if it’s on someone else’s server. "Security" (in America, at least) is often complete bullshit.
Which makes sense, but we are already doing very large scale interventions with releasing a lot of greenhouse gases (and also other stuff).
Both kinds of systems may coexist - the question that remains open to me is how to combine them both. Vector search, however, provides tools for non-textual search capabilities. Things like querying images, videos, etc, are non-solvable with BM25 and similar methods.
> “I’d sleep like a baby [on a plane] that flew over a 5G base station at full power output,” he told Spectrum. “Probably something happens that’s unusual and the pilots attribute it to 5G but maybe it’s not attributable to 5G.

You may still update manually.
In fairness, a shitton of these issues would be solved by following C++ patterns like RAII, instead of the defer/gotos style the kernel seems to be proud of.
From engineering perspective, the 5G equipment is not staying in its band, not radar altimeters. Remember that the regs for band usage are on transmit, not receive, and the physical reality makes radio altimeters especially hard to filter.
You'd need something Spotify.

Another similar possibility might be to do more RL with this data, e.g. using upside-down RL. One can possibly steer this with user feedback as well.

Google+ was the turning point it seems.

I guess once your company culture allows you to U-turn so hard on something you’ve been pushing so much, as Google was Google+, U-turning on anything else becomes super easy.
> If you want to eliminate extreme poverty, you need to eliminate extreme wealth.

That is rather off the mark on a couple of levels. Say there is a billionaire and a society of homeless indigents. We set the billionaire's house on fire and wreck all his stuff. This has no impact whatsoever on the people in extreme poverty.

That silly example has played out in practice in a couple of ways (communism being the most showy). There is a compelling picture that allowing extremely wealthy individuals to flourish is good for the communities they are in. Once people start adopting policies to curtail or confiscate resources from people who create wealth it is easy to lose control and end up in a bad spot.
Sure but this has nothing to do with the ethical basis of using such data to discover that or the legal basis of the contractor/employer designation.
Exactly. And there are many other inline instructions (e.g. for doing arithmetic etc) but I didn't show them here. Any instruction the CPU supports can be present in a Forth program. In a compiled Forth, words can be specified as a list of calls to other Forth words or as raw assembly instructions, or both.
Nope, the people that were 2 levels under execs hired them

Execs hired incompetent (or maybe just "profit oriented") management and that incompetence trickled down to the bottom.

It's remarkable how well the fossil-funded propaganda has worked.
We considered that approach, but even plugging in a scheduler would not allow us to own scheduling end-to-end; there’s still latency introduced by having events go through etcd. In the end the complexity of kubernetes got in our way, and we realized we were using it as a glorified OCI runtime API, so we decided to cut it out.
> Contrast this with Linux, where glibc is known to break from time to time.

glibc has a very stable ABI, i.e. older binaries compiled against older versions of it should work fine on current versions (since the breaking libc6 transition which was several decades ago), they employ symbol versioning to ensure old binaries still find the symbols with the behavior they expect.

Of course, there are other "system libraries" that change ABI/SONAMEs more often, so what you are saying still generally applies, but I'd say glibc is not one of them.

I don't have the app installed and I don't want such dark patterns force me to install it. Previously that happened only to unregistered users.
It cannot be fixed because it's an ego trip. HR wants to feel important, interviewers want to feel smart and the executives want to make a bargain.
This is one of the most pernicious pieces of cargo-cult writing advice that gets smeared all over the internet.

When writing, you should think carefully about your word choice, and adapt it for your audience, context, intended effect, etc.

"Lose the very" is the exact opposite of thinking carefully. It ignores all the subtle shades of meaning that different words bring. Almost no words have direct swap-in synonyms.

If you follow this advice, you end up with a mess of incoherent verbiage that (probably) says something very different to what was intended.

I've been using Confulence for a long time in all my companies. It's not the best product for sure.
However, regarding:
1) slowness - it's faster selfhosted than their shitty cloud solution
2) editor - one of the best features, not replicated anywhere is their macro collection. I'd prefer markdown, but dynamic object embedded in our specs/documentation is a very useful feature. Also for non-technical people their editor even in current state is easier than other non-WYSIWYG editors for sure.

There is a place for a competitor to Confluence, because the need is still there. Help non-technical people capture and buld documents self-hosted inside your firewall with dynamic elements.

Atlassian's decision to dump the self-hosted version in 2024 will create the niche for all the companies that would want to migrate away. They just got greedy and got too big, went public, founders cached out and now it's the hired managers playground.
Isn’t coaching basically “non-professionalized” therapy? Like insofar as a decent chunk of therapy is this^ (interrogating belief systems), there’s hardly a reason you need someone to do it from the blessed perch of a paper that says “Doctor” on it, and hardly a reason your beliefs need to be pathologized to the degree that you become a “Patient.”
What does uncorrectable error mean in RAM? I’ve read somewhere that they use Hamming codes for ECC RAM. Isn’t it the case that too many errors (more than floor((d - 1) / 2)) simply result in an incorrect codeword? Or do they know the error locations a priori? (i.e. erasure coding)
Well, even if WE do not have 64TB tables (where one need low latency for the entire table), I believe there are plenty of other mature NoSQL offerings out there? Whether you go to the other cloud vendors or self host.

Cosmos is at best unfinished.
I used Google Data Store for years and it was finished in the sense that it always did what it says on the tin and didn't cause lots of problems for you (although I think higher latency than Cosmos, so may not be for every usecase -- there is also BigTable and Spanner).

And I don't believe Google would ever have done something like deploying a shared multitenant Jupyter system with full access to all customer's DB. Microsoft actually did that.

As I said the main problem is mainly how Cosmos is marketed, as a general purpose NoSQL. If it was marketed with all the caveats you learn about after you go live, and people only used it if they really had to, it would be a bit different.

Though realistically it would drive most people to other cloud providers.
