There is not, which is what leads to vulnerabilities where two HTTP protocol parsers will parse the same request in two different ways (which led to the HTTP desync attacks).

https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync-attacks-request...

There's a reason why web servers will slam the door shut even when the client requests HTTP Keep Alive because they are unable to properly parse a request in a way that makes it safe to parse a follow-up request on the same TCP/IP connection.
Sorry, thread limit achieved. For tptacek:

> Not with any attitude: what you and the phone sysadmins propose is, effectively, to eliminate all shared DNS caching from the Internet. A beautiful dream! But that's all it is.

No, a local caching resolver (with or without DNSSEC verification enabled by default) would talk to the upstream DNS server by default, like a stub resolver, so it benefits from the upstream DNS server cache.
Yes, the code you enter is compiled and run against a suite of tests. Any change that fixes the function will be accepted.

Any change that doesn't compile (bad syntax) or fails the tests is rejected. Code that produces deadlock or panic or timeout is also rejected.

If you give me an example of a rejected solution, I'll show you why the solution wrong.
"If there is indeed a background perturbation that provokes quantum collapse — whether it comes from gravitational effects or something else — then all particles will be continuously interacting with this perturbation, whether they are in a superposition or not."

This makes eminent sense to me.

I have a notion that I'll try to present in its simplest form which is that a quantum system exists in background 'sea' or 'substrate' akin to random noise whose maximum fluctuations are of themselves insufficient to disturb or perturb said quantum system.

Without this noise an 'event' such as a particle, photon etc. would perturb the quantum system in a predictable way thus it would 'collapse' into a predictable outcome (according to understood physics).

As the noisy substrate permeates and superimposes on everything it randomizes the 'collapse'. Of course, we'd have to invoke notions such as virtual particles zero point energy, Casimir-like effects—even then, saying that is a gross oversimplification without much additional amplification. Perhaps it's best just to say that essentially a noisy fluctuating background environment would perturb and randomize an otherwise predictable quantum system.

Again, like many of these theories, I've little to support my idea except intuition—and with quantum mechanics relying on it is a very dangerous thing to do.
Fake it until you make it has long been the ethos of SV startups, where in the dust people lose money and jobs. Theranos took this a step further and actively harmed people's health, giving invalid cancer diagnoses for example. She should be in jail for a long time for what she did to people.
Anything involving Apple Pencil interaction. The higher refresh rate makes all the difference, to the point where it actually feels like writing with a pen on paper.
Ok, maybe 'absolutely prevents' should be 'mostly prevents' - the key part is the rational actor bit. If the guy at the steering wheel cares less about the prosperity of his country and his personal wellbeing than he does about fulfilling a czarist power fantasy before he croaks the system is less effective. But I suppose there are very few disincentives to war that would help in that situation.

This is a silly and frankly ungracious misreading. Nobody is saying that an artist shouldn't be able to price something however they'd like, to target whatever cohort they'd like to target. But if an artist wants to charge $X, a scalper who charges $X+$Y is an asshole, and cutting out those scalpers is a good thing.

Fair ticket lotteries for those willing to pay the artist's desired price are almost certainly the most fair, least evil way to do it.

Musk doesnt deserve credit for the success of Tesla, if you mean actually providing any leadership or technical skills. I do not work there so obviously I dont know internal details but everything we know points to him not making any contributions besides being an obnoxious taskmaster who wanted employees to work late.

He does credit for being such a charismatic charlatan and somehow managing to fool most of the world and being a social media and tech darling based on nothing but lies and empty promises. Tesla's valuation comes from a large part from Musks constant lies that FSD was a solved problem and was just around the corner, every ear since 2016. Every time he said that, he got more fanatics, and the stock surged.

SpaceX is almost fully funded by DoD and Musk has acknowledged the end goal is to use it for military purposes.

All his other ideas like Hyperloop/Boring company, the recently released private tweets with his billionaire friends, getting fired by his own board, clearly expose him as someone who doesn't really understand technology let alone be a 'genius'. More like an idiot.

He was born rich, got lucky and somehow people buy into his myth.

And yes, he is a fraud. He's been selling vaporware for close to a decade, charging for alpha code that kills people and lying about it. Its not the same level of fraud as Holmes but Musk was never honest about it either.

One thing I'd do is give a larger weighting to GitHub. StackOverflow doesn't really take down old questions and has been around a lot longer. GitHub likely more reflects current preferences and SO more historical ones.

On the GitHub axis, we can see that JavaScript, Python, Java, and TypeScript are all about the same. Ruby's not even far behind grouped with PHP, Go, C#, and C++.

Don't use Windows filesystem not even Docker for Desktop from within WSL2 instance. Install Docker within WSL2 instance itself (like regular linux). WSL1 supposedly gives better performance when accessing Windows file system.

I remove all Windows auto mounts and use only VS Code remote sessions and not VS Code WSL2 sessions.

WSL2 is more than fast enough. See phoronix site (well respected linux benchmarker).

It's a race to the bottom, because the costs are concentrated and the benefits are distributed. If we allowed each district to vote their own income tax rate, everyone would vote for 0; what's happening with house-building is the equivalent for that. We need state- or national-level housing policy with no ability to override it locally, or at least to enforce some minimums. (Interestingly California at least already has that law on the books, although so far they're only enforcing it against towns they don't like rather than the general enforcement that we need).

I don’t understand why Musk buying Twitter signals the end of Twitter. Free speech is bad? Your feed is comprised of people you follow, so what’s the issue?
Is this a simple, absurdist joke, some obscure reference, sophisticsted play on words or an elaborate innuendo?
Hmm, doesn't feel good having such a negative comment rise up this much.
Tax the rich doesn’t work like the utopic stories tell.

Typically what happens is the rich leave to a place with less taxes or where they’re not seen as the mortal enemy of X local government. Then all that tax money they otherwise were paying goes somewhere else, and the state is left with a net-negative tax inflow.

The top 1% pays over 25% of all taxes, and the top 50% pay 97% of all taxes: https://taxfoundation.org/publications/latest-federal-income...

I agree we have a problem with wealth inequality, but taxing the rich is a simple, poor solution to a complex problem.
If there is a housing crash coming, the builders around me tend to think otherwise. Lots of new construction starts.

I think as it often happens, the most likely outcome is that lower priced areas will see the brunt of the value decrease, while higher priced neighborhoods may at best see a moderate speed bump.

Roughly speaking, an N-level digital logic system requires O(N) transistors in order to buffer/force a signal into one of N states, but only performs O(log(N)) more work with them relative to binary.

Without the buffering step, you'll eventually get the middle logic levels drifting (e.g. your "1"s become "0"s or "2"s). Binary gets this for "free" because there's no middle states; this doesn't apply just to a simple buffer, similar details apply to the implementation of all other gates (many of which are rather awkward to implement).

Analog works out for rough calculations because you can skip the buffering process, at the expense of having your calculation's precision limited by the linearity of your circuit.

SSDs are more of a special case, because to my knowledge they're not really doing work on multi-level logic outside of the storage cells. They pump current in on one axis of a matrix, read it out on the other, and then ADC it back to binary as fast as possible before doing any other logic.

Random sidebar: I don't see any constraint like this for mechanical computers, so a base-10 mechanical computer doesn't strike me as any more unreasonable than a base-2 mechanical computer (i.e. slop and tolerance is independent of gear size). In fact, it might be reasonable to say you should use the largest gears that the technology of your time can support (sorry Babbage).
Most modern ML techniques do a poor job on these types of problems too unless they have a lot of data (hence the reference to sparsity) or assume structure that requires domain specific modeling to capture.
It would be interesting to do look at broader survey data (maybe I'll do that this weekend) and see how driving mileage is distributed. Nobody in my circles ever drives longer than 20 mi. one way regularly, and even then most never more than 10 mi. one way regularly. Of course I live in a somewhat-walkable metro area adjacent to suburbia.

Sure if you have the need for bursty travel (emergency helping a relative in another part of the state maybe, picking up friends from a regional airport, etc) a 240V/20A charger would work much better. But as long as you can find a fast charger along your route this shouldn't be a huge factor. The argument is that most average travel needs can be taken care of by L1 chargers and L2s and L3s can help usecases further out of the average. But I admit, my assumption of normality on driving mileage is just an assumption and it may just be more pareto distributed.
Well, if you picked an example for men as ostentatious as large diamonds, like a garish suit, maybe it wouldn’t sound so silly.

Besides, people comment on Jobs’ clothing all the time not to mention the appearance of men in general so it’s unclear what double standard you think you’re demonstrating beyond the trope of it being bad to comment on someone’s looks only if they’re a woman.

its more like 'dont get them while they are young'. when society teaches children from an early age that public nudity is shameful, they are going to grow up having an aversion to it. i doubt this aversion is innate, its taught by society. on the other hand, preferring the feel of nakedness is going to be an innate preference i believe.
no, you're right. Terraform/Pulumi are much more focused on provisioning resources, while Ansible has its sweet spot in configuring a machine once its running.
I don't work for FANG (or MAANG or whatever it's called now) but for small startup which pays well. I'm not exceptional in any way, nor are people I work with- we are bunch of devs who like what they are doing and try to be a bit better every day.

We had been hiring for a few positions this year (Europe and APAC) and are expanding and will be hiring more next year. I can only tell it's difficult to even get candidates attention, not to mention get good senior people join the team.

Not sure if this is good indicator but I'm also receiving a 3-4 calls from recruiters each week, and it was like this for the whole year.

Maybe I live in bubble, but from what I can see next year looks good enough for tech.
I'm not thinking about your interview process so much as I'm thinking about your role in it. Why is an incompetent developer staring at you, personally? Information is available to both parties about each other at the very beginning, so why are you in a position where you'd be asked for career advice?

You didn't say anything about passing bad candidates forward, that was my mistake and thanks for catching it!

You've seen Reddit right? With just the right sub and its combination with a given set of Reddit features you can get a nice experience. Like there's a sub where people share Volume Eating tips if you're on a cut, or if you are more into straight popcorn there's a sub for full sci-fi movies on YouTube.

Lately I'm getting more into subforums, like for niche topics you can find a forum and then you find just the right subforum, it's like HN. Mobile works really well and is often ad-free. Would mention some but for niche I think it's better to start with what you like. To me it's been a nice way to find new hobbyist efforts in areas like BASIC programming for example. The news gets around fast in those communities, otherwise you might be wondering what the status is if you're just staring at out of date websites.

Yes. I have had one time payment software licenses before with hundreds of apps.

Instead, most of them have replaced that with a subscription rent-seeking grift by overcharging each month and just offering the basics of functionality and unnecessarily creating an account for that purpose.

Want to cancel? You lose access to the software you once 'paid for'. A certain entity once said and still foresights a dystopian future:

It's 2030, you own nothing, there is no privacy, can't use the digital software / game(s) offline, always connected online for license checks 24/7 if you paid for it and life has never been better!
A few things to consider here, so you can see this from a carrier perspective.

1. What are they actually leasing? Are you leasing them land, or a pole, or the right to install equipment on a pole?

If it's either of the latter of the two, what is the wind and weight loading capacity of the pole? Who certified that? When was it last inspected? Who owns it and what are the maintenance obligations on it, so the part closest to the ground isn't corroded through by passing dogs using it as a toilet.

This matters to a Telco installing equipment, as they don't want it to fall on someone (or for their equipment to be too heavy and damage your lighting pole, and you to have a claim against them). You also don't want to have them claiming against you for the replacement of a macro cell mmW base station with an active antenna system if the lamp post falls over, as their kit is expensive.

2. What power is available? Is it independently metered, or an unmetered street lighting circuit? In some countries, you want a metered supply unless their radio equipment and similar is pre-rated by the energy company. Given cell sites use variable amounts of power, they likely don't want a fixed charge based on rated capacity. If your carrier installs backup power, is there space?

3. What network is the fibre connected to? For most mobile operators, they don't want a standard domestic GPON broadband connection - they'll usually want fibre connectivity to one of their transit network providers. What's the redundancy and fibre route like? The provider probably doesn't want to add another fibre provider to their supplier setup, unless they'll be adding lots of cell sites on their network. Usually operators don't like sitting adjacent to end users on a fibre network either - they prefer to sit in their own isolated network. Can that be delivered? Who's responsible for this?

4. Is there enough space for a communications cabinet at the base of the mast? These can be quite large and put out quite large quantities of heat. Is it opposite a road intersection that means it is more likely to be hit if someone blows through the intersection?

5. How long a lease are you offering? What's their certainty of tenure? They won't want to go to all this effort if they aren't getting long term confidence. Dealing with a single site owner can be annoying, as it doesn't scale.

6. Are there enough users to create a business case for this site? A European carrier needed an approx 1.5m EUR business case for return on investment over 3 years before it would even consider building a cell site, outside of their planned build - adding something new into the cell grid doesn't always make sense.

Site/tower companies provide aggregation to carriers and their supply chain partners (a lot of this varies in different markets), but on the whole, while in theory a lot of this is easy, it's actually far harder to provide an offering that "fits" the operator supply chain expectations. With mmWave, more sites are needed, so some of this will need to become more flexible, but on the whole, carriers are quite traditional in their ways.

At least one party in the conflict is generating enough interference on the ground to obstruct both GPS and GLONASS navigation in orbits passing over the region. Its loud enough to detect as soon as the region is visible (thousands of miles away). Source: we are operating a constellation of sophisticated GNSS receivers in LEO.

Hawkeye360 (a different operator of sophisticated RF instruments in LEO) detected GPS interference and geolocated it to Russian forces shortly before the invasion, but at this point it could easily be both parties.

I can agree that there is missed revenue - but realistically it wouldale much more sense to sell that capacity via Fargate (which is closer to undifferentiated generic compute and RAM) rather than monkeying with the spot pricing algorithm.
Because cookies count as personal data (which is pretty strange by itself... data the client stores that the server hands it is personal?), The need to gather consent to store cookies on your machine became suddenly ubiquitous, and rather than cease to store them (which should have been a ridiculous expectation on its face... What, every website on the planet was going to audit how the cookies are used? Nobody's spending that money, and you can't just remove them without risking breaking some flow), companies went with the shortest path to continuing their current practices with no major changes, which was to pop a banner asking for your consent.

That outcome should have been obvious and the fact that it wasn't does not inspire confidence in the people making these laws.
"consciousness is all about the brain; or more specifically, it is identical to the brain"

That's easy to disprove with the computer analogy. If transistors are simplified neurons and CPU chips are brains, then software is consciousness. Just like software is an immaterial something that uses magnetic medium to run on CPU, human consciousness is immaterial something that uses magnetic medium to run on neurons. Mind is parricularly fast type of hardware, an equivalent of GPU, that runs imaginary experiments. One thing that's certain is that software doesn't emerge from transistors and barely can it be understood by inspecting those transistors.

When Mary sees a red apple for the first time, her mind records the relationship between "red" and "apple", while her consciousness registers the new waveform produces by red receptors in her eyes. The richness of this waveform is limited by her eyes, whether they capture basic redness or the entire spectrum, and by her conscioussness that may or may not be able to register waveform of such complexity. She gets to experience a surprise because she hasn't seen such waveform before, and her mind will put the red color into its proper place by recording relationships between observed objects.

Mary can know what it's like to be a bat because bat's consciousness is much simpler: any waveform that can exist in the bat's consciousness can also exist in Mary's consciousness. The reverse isn't true.

None of which where anywhere near deadly enough to change European genetics.

In theory it’s possible a 50% bottleneck to push a trait from 45% of a population to at most 90% at the extreme end. However, 45% of a population having some trait(s) without earlier evolutionary pressure is extremely unlikely. Thus, the prevalence of those traits would trace back to that earlier genetic pressure.
