I suspect heat pumps are the future for domestic heating, but I’m not sure it’s feasible for industrial uses. Very hard to get a heat pump that can make a 1000* difference between the hot and cold side.

My comment probably shouldn’t have even mentioned home radiators.
I'd like to suggest Rest of World - though I do work there but not on editorial side. It is an international nonprofit journalism organization that "covers what happens when technology, culture and the human experience collide, in places that are typically overlooked and underestimated".

They publish 10-12 stories a week, that are researched, edited, and fact-checked by a team that is distributed across the world. It's fun to sit in editorial meetings from time to time.

or this one:

I think it’s because they have a religious zeal about themselves generally speaking. An inquisition like air that permeates many aspects of culture they are involved in. fundamentalist attitudes abound and an inability to consider alternatives blended with a constant appeal to authority.

In essence, an extremely conformist and neurotic generation.

Here’s a question for you:

“To what extent should developers use advanced programming language features?”

I worked on a project once that had lots of sophisticated code in it. One of the senior developers objected however when I suggested we use typescript decorators. He said other developers might not understand it.

Consider what happens when the question is phrased differently:

“To what extent should developers use unfamiliar programming language features?”

Well, all language features are initially unfamiliar.

It’s a matter of opinion, but I think developers should use whatever language features they want, and all developers working on that should be expected to be active in learning unfamiliar techniques that they are implemented in the code. It’s extremely unhelpful to say that language features are “too advanced” or “too unfamiliar” to use.

If your Arsenal-supporting friend sincerely believes that a rival World Cup would go anywhere at all, then they're a little bit naive and don't really understand the game.

I know Accenture does more harm than good. If a company brings in any of these types of “consultants” it means they are on a race to the bottom and this is their last attempt at turning things around. And at that stage the environment tends to be toxic.

That sucks. I blame Steve Jobs.

This was all going in the right direction of freedom of speech == sexual freedom == censorship free internet.

Then Steve tried to market the appstore as a walled garden and wanted to keep 30% of the revenue so he branded everything as "safe" including no-porn. I don't think this was his intention but it snowballed into this.

I hate crypto with a vengeance but when I hear stories like this I totally get why people are so much into it.
Yeah, agree with 4K240. That would be awesome. But NVIDIA doesn't seem to think so, considering they skimped on DP 2.0 on a GPU that actually has the horsepower to do 4K240 (especially with DLSS 3).

120hz feels so choppy when you're used to 240hz.

This comment was better than the post!
Some of the ADR discussions seem to revolve around trying to create a formalized 'use anywhere' ADR model which does looks suspiciously like UML. The general concept (a historical record of the development of the architecture) sounds good, but a one-size-fits-all approach sounds like a bad idea. ADR approachs should probably be heavily customized to fit each project/codebase.

Some people might say, "but if we had standardized ADRs we could efficiently compare different codebases" but that's going back to UML.

Yes, OpenBB is an amazing initiative but we are very different in the way we focus on user experience and journey tho we have terminal in the name its very much not like a terminal,
its more like a search engine very intuitive, very user-friendly, very fast,

all you have to do is search the stock name, and you'll have access to everything from annual reports to transcripts in less than 10 secs, that is not the case in OpenBB

we have better powerful charts, we have better industry-level data, we have a macro overview section where you can analyze everything on a macroeconomic scale, we also have a biweekly digest helping our user navigate upcoming events if there is any, and important alerts on events like fomc meetings and such, and much more

we do also have a terminal interface, where you can type commands to access everything even faster!!

“Decision support” and “strategic (blank)” are how this is often messaged

In a regulated space, I have found we usually bring them in initially just to find out how our competition is dealing with a new requirement. We may not even engage longer with them on the bigger project. This is actually useful because they have insights to so many companies.
> This is definitely true, but not exactly news to most people

A lot of people believe it’s true, but having a proof of it is newsworthy. This is an old theory and there’s still no 100% scientific consensus on whether it’s true or not [1][2].

Is it worth the time and effort to email the Whois abuse contacts when an IP is probing a web server?

Not likely. Unless there is evidence captured proving someone hacked your machine and did damage, the reports to the domain owner will be ignored or never seen. Reports to the ISP will be ignored. Or worse, they wont be ignored and the ISP just pits you against the compromised server owner who will be in denial and/or won't know what to do.

I find it best to just set environment variables and ACL's to just ignore the attacks. Maybe send them to a dummy page served entirely from RAM or a ram disk and set logging to /dev/null. I would not even bother blocking them. The C&C nodes will detect an edge node can't reach you and will just try at some point from another compromised host. I'd just give them a lightweight error served from ram to reduce disk IO and bandwidth.

If you are bored, something fun to do is make pages that cause the bot to go into recursion loops on your site with dummy pages that have keywords like "Wordpress, cpanel, admin" and that link to each other ...etc. A clever error page can do this in a single page but make it look like infinite pages via relative links.

If the probes are to SSH then just use SSH keys and disable password authentication. Let them probe away. If it's really annoying then firewall restrict SSH to your ISP's CIDR blocks to reduce the noise, and/or move SSH to a high port to reduce noise not for security. If that is not enough I can suggest something that will make your SSH invisible to 90%+ of the bots without moving to a high port.

No, it's a function that takes a pointer to a struct in which you have to fill in dwLength before calling it. The struct also has at least 3 reserved "must be zero" fields. The function and the struct also have A and W variants.
No, but let’s not overestimate what the rest of us are doing. I studied engineering at a prestigious school, I don’t think any of my jobs was particularly useful and this applies to most people I’ve met in my professional life. Something’s severely broken but I can’t really point to what it is.
Short answer: no.

Long answer: no, not really.
Because on this way of building sites, the user submitted data is escaped before it reaches the browser. E.g.: https://go.dev/play/p/MmNSxU5QfAb (hit run to see the output).

The JS wouldn't need to do any escaping, because it's not trusted to handle any unescaped data. It's operating on the already-escaped html template.

My one direct experience with McKinsey was mixed.

We were making a fairly big bet on a new product line so the CEO brought in McKinsey. The consultants were a bit of a mixed bag. The partner and one of the associates were sharp. The other associate less so. They basically just confirmed that what we were planning made sense. But that was useful in and of itself. And they provided our business planning people with complicated spreadsheets that kept them out of otherwise getting in the way. (Only somewhat /s.)

The task takes about 1-4 minutes. In an ideal world, it can start immediately and then shutdown, but more realistically it will have to spin up or batch things up at a convenient point in time. Sagemaker seems more expensive that doing it via ECS.
It's just as germane as turning a story about the (almost universal) horrors of war into some kind of scorekeeping exercise, and nobody's showing more emotion than you. Why don't you try addressing my main point about accessibility and incremental value of primary sources, instead of picking one literally parenthetical comment to quibble about? It's the same thing you did with OP: sniping instead of engaging. Contrary to guidelines BTW. Please try to do better.

Can someone ELI5 what's the main difference between Nvidia 3000s, 3060, 3070, 3080, 3080Ti, 4000s, etc? I am just very confused about it and honestly I don't want to spend hours to understand something that should be immediately clear.

You can downvote me for being lazy, yes. But my point is that there's a ton of BS marketing going on in the IT industry, and Nvidia is no exception. Look at the 3nm process, which isn't about gate distance anymore. Etc.

Did you try playing at 8k with top-of-the-line graphics card?
Did you ever see 60FPS on the highest level of detail?
Did you ever want 240FPS to avoid artifacts during fast action game?
Did you ever wonder how many graphics card are needed for the three-monitor setup?
Did you ever want a ray-traced action game?

All these questions need much more powerful GPUs than current top-of-the-line.
And game makers know that better graphics often sells the game.
Timely—I had a conversation about this with a friend a day or two ago. There is a definite trade-off between novelty and productivity. IMO putting as much novelty into the parts of your domain logic that differentiate you from competitors as possible is the best trade-off. You want your complexity and learning curve tied up in the “magic” parts of your software, not the mundane pieces.

> Moreover, just two decades later, anyone could get their genome sequenced for pocket change by companies like 23andMe, founded in 2006.

Sequencing your genome is still relatively expensive, Probably around $15k. 23andme does not sequence your genome. They look at specific regions looking for specific markers. This doesn't invalidate your point of how great progress has been, though.
> autonomous cars essentially need AGI in order to play to a degree that is safer than a human with other humans.

This is really an astonishingly large claim without any evidence.

I question if you understand what AGI actually is? It's not "AI that can solve game theory" or "AI that can play cooperative games" - conventional video game AI's do this all the time in a myriad of permutations.

For others agreeing autonomous driving needs "AGI", first read what it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc...

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn *any intellectual task that a human being can*.

It's a very difficult engineering problem but we don't need AGI to solve it.
And the fun thing is that once you grant these permissions, the app has them through all updates.

There are some specific cases where consultancies can be very useful. If you'e going through pretty much any on-time transition where you don't have internal expertise, bringing in outside expertise can be worthwhile. Things like opening an offshore office for the first time, buying another company and doing a merger, turning around a failing department or division. Clearly defined time bounded activities that require specific skills you don't have.

Too often though companies use consultants to manage core activities of the company. If it's a core activity, and you can't do it yourself, what are you even doing in business?
Very true. That said The Economist newspaper (print edition) is my answer to the OP. The heds are just an example of the talent at their disposal. The paper is expensive but I’ve subscribed for 25 years without a single regret. Their podcasts are now rising to the same quality.
Good thing they can't ban a web page.
As a subcontractor which was embedded into a BCG team in Virginia on a procurement overhaul project I have had nothing but a positive experience with that crew.

They provided an actual real useful very detailed plan on how to reach the desired end state after spending weeks pitching their plan to the client. Maybe it's just the two partners I work with. Nothing shady or unethical happened. The client screwed themselves up so badly there is so much room for big money proposals to fix things the client already did to themselves.

The leadership goes out of their way to stop both real and perceived corruption. e.g., no gifts or expensed dinners for clients. My team only needs reputation to get more work. And they are good at getting themselves out there and putting out good work. Just my observation.

+1 for The Economist. It’s so dry and unsensational that I literally use it as an antidote to media-triggered-anxiety.
Yep. Consultants are compensated very well to take the blame if the thing executives wanted to do anyway doesn’t work out.

I've heard about this phenomenon before. While ultimately I wish I had found a better way to phrase this in the comment you quote, I'll make my clarifications here.

A) I'm not defending the outright removal of porn/NSFW content from Apple App Stores or other sources.

B) I don't see a meaningful distinction in the way the terms are USED. LGBTQ relationships are typically seen as more sexually explicit and thus, more pornographic (as your source attests). Calling that material "porn" or "NSFW" is ultimately meaningless.

EDIT: Thank you to the commentor who chose to prove my point as I was writing it. :P
Not really, because even if it were that simple (get some people from "over there" and bring them "here" so things are now "better"), it's not in their best interest.

Just like with politics, it's not about doing something, it's about making sure with the next round of "who do we pick", you're the one that gets chosen.

Another fun fact: if instead of considering a distribution on the inputs, you consider worst case, then Queueing Theory becomes Online Algorithms. The techniques there seem very different from Queueing Theory, but I also heard some Computer Scientists calling Online Algorithms boring because the techniques used there are very similar and results aren't too suprizing (I can't say I share this sentiment).
The refresh can be done with the old key, within the time-window. You only need the deeper key for the first time authentication, when starting up or provisioning the service.

What you have to consider is that starting a service is often not just a one time fire-and-forget operations. Applications crash need auto-restart, usually via systemd, kubernetes or something. So the keys-all-the-way down knowledge need to be integrated throughout that whole stack or on the side of it.

Kubernetes ServiceAccounts are based on a very similar flow, they are temporary certificates that are mounted into each Pod, used to connect to the API server and deciding what that Pod is allowed to access.
Seems like you are the one being uncharitable.

For better or worse there are tons of both reasonable and unreasonable factors as to why a large company would replace a part time developer's side project with something that costs 9 figures.

You don't know those reasons, the person you replied to doesn't know those reasons, and in fact the OP probably doesn't even know those reasons (they "used to turn up to that customer annually for maintenance").
> However in modern datacenters no one "installs OSes and configures the network". You plug it in, turn it on, everything self-provisions and starts serving traffic.

Absolutely agreed. That's what i used to in part do, and it's a massive effort to do everything automatically and efficiently, and it needs multiple people's time to create and maintain all the infrastructure, glue between different systems, scripts, tools. Even components as basic as DHCP suck absolutely (your options are either something from the 1990s, isc-dhcp-server, which lacks an API in any real sense, or Kea, made from the same people, which really shows), and before Tinkerbell there was literally nothing that could be used to automate such a thing at scale.

And more to my point, how many datacenters do you think are "modern"? I've only encountered one that was starting to get there (where i used to work before an acquisition by a company with arcane practices in their DCs), and having worked with hundreds of customers with "on prem" stuff, for the vast majority it's a legacy horror show.
