> The employer often doesn't realize for months that the employee wasn't as represented, and way overpaid.

that employee's coworkers and team members surely would realize how well the pay matches though. or at least, they could, wherever the employer makes that info public.

my own experience with internally-public compensation at a 70-engineer company: is that there's so much _error_ in setting salaries. i don't think my employer really cared if the salary they pay for equivalent work varies randomly by 20%: to them that's just the cost of doing business and they have enough margin to cover that. but when i see that my teammate, who's putting in literally 20-hr weeks and producing half the output as the rest of the team, is being paid 20% more than me? that's reason to feel that my employer isn't treating me fairly and to leave. that hurts my employer more than the 20% extra they're paying the other guy.

i felt like there was a catch-22 here: in theory erroneous salaries could be more quickly corrected if they were internally public. but it's risky to make salaries public before the employer is reasonably confident that they're accurate.

Absolutely, and that's what Nix does. You can of course access anything in nixpkgs by named attribute, and it will have a human readable version number corresponding to the upstream source. But the internal representation is all based on input addressing and hashes.
> But who cares? Why not just let the command figure out the right buffer size automatically?

Well, because it doesn't. At least on the Linux version I used in the past, it defaulted to 512 byte blocks or something similarly small and it commits every block individually, leading to really slow performance with USB sticks with controllers not smart enough to bundle writes together. I wouldn't be surprised if that incurs some heavy write amplification at flash level too. Perhaps it's smart enough to figure a better block size now but this is where that habit comes from.

Another thing, creating sparse files with the seek option (simply put files containing zeros that are not actually written to the disk nor taking space, but do turn up all these zeroes when you read the file). Also something not duplicated with cat or head.

What I like about dd is that it can do pretty much all disk operations in one simple tool. Definitely worth learning all of it IMO.
Ok good to hear. I feel for you.
So far, looks like the answer is a clear no.

It’s pretty cheap to make stuff at scale.

Cleaning something to the point it can be reused safely (without knowing what the prior person did to it), or disassembling something damaged or broken to the point it can be melted down and recycled, is really hard and time consuming.

About the only things it makes sense to do this with are stuff made out of highly valuable metals, or are very large (aka big pieces), or where we don’t mind burning the non-recyclable stuff most of the time (aka crushed cars).
Really? I would have guessed most people would want to know who the "toxic" people are in their life so that they can take appropriate action instead of finding out in a worse way later.
For WEP, it was the bad keying algorithm.
Or perhaps only half of 'everyone' feels compelled to comment each release.
I don’t think you know what your talking about. For instance, Victoria BC, the capital of British Columbia, Canada, didn’t have a waste sewage plant for the city until 2021. I’m quite sure many rich countries are still significantly polluting the land, sea, and air.
I suspect it's not just the occurrence rate which influences this feature being male-focussed. It's probably also the expected reception, which is itself a function of the occurrence rate.

If I opened an app one day and received an unsolicited picture of female genitalia, that would be strange. If it happened every day, then it's spam, even if I don't have a strong aversion to it.
Specially annoying when they use trending topics to tag their unrelated content. It never ocurred to me that I've seen more unsolicited female nudes in Twitter than everywhere else combined, including Reddit and its unsolicited chats.
This information is easy to back into using public information like house purchase price and car price. Even occupation/employer is usually enough to get upper and lower bounds.
Fair point. But idle power consumption will be like 7W vs 15W.

That’s pretty much the point of WASM, isn’t it? V8 is a billion dollar investment in running as best as possible a language that is very, very difficult to run performantly. WASM instead opens up options to run well languages that are much easier to run performantly.
I'll add that I'm also not aware of something like this happening outside of crypto exchanges & don't actually hold an opinion on this hypothesis, as I'm not familiar enough with payment processors to know one way or the other. My comment makes me sound like I support this hypothesis, but that's a mistake in my wording.
What is CoffeeScript and why would you use it in conjunction with TypeScript?
I don't think I've even seen an asdf plugin that directly uses a version manager. They generally seem to either A) download prebuilt binaries or B) fallback to building from source. Either way the installs go straight to ~/.asdf/installs.

The only exception I can think of is any dependencies on libraries that may or may not be installed by the system package manager. Even then, those dependencies are often optional.
I think you mean Crime as a Service. Uber, Google, Amazon, eBay, PayPal, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Telegram, Reddit, etc all profit from crime. Companies facilitating collusion with a wink and a nod are the next logical progression of legitimizing white collar criminals. Police and prosecutors have spent ages chasing their tails with a self reinforcing drug war while mr burns types have been building infrastructure to brazenly fleece the public in broad daylight for decades. It’s time for major investment in dismantling white collar crimes outfits, like apartment price fixing, realtor corruption, wage fixing, wage theft, and the obscene culture of flouting workplace safety standards in virtually every industry.
How does one become a product manager?
The answer to whose fault it is is: Whoever the customer thinks is at fault. Having a strong brand cuts both ways. If Framework develops a strong brand of "buy our stuff, it works great" (as I think they have!) and people buy the machines largely based on that brand, then that's obviously really great for Framework in lots of ways. But this is the other edge of that sword: they're going to be the one lots of people blame when there are issues.

This is no different than the situation for decades with Windows and PC vendors. When I built a PC from commodity hardware and installed Windows on it, if something went wrong, I'd blame Microsoft, or the manufacturers of the components I used, or myself. But when I would buy an HP laptop, if something went wrong, that was HP's fault.

Are they sent by the women who own the genitalia?

I have never once received an unwanted nude from a woman but as spam whereas with men it has happened enough times for me to believe without statistical justification that unwanted images of male genitalia would be more common.
I can't stand even slightly rancid oils, and I've found that most people don't notice it at all until you point it out to them. Rancid vs fresh peanut butter is the most noticeable one to let people taste test next to each other. Once they identify the rancid smell and flavor they all agree the fresh is better. Though a couple of times I've hit people who just cannot tell the difference. I envy them.

The only problems I’ve ever seen a coworker or myself encounter with docker is not knowing it well enough. Admittedly it has a strong learning curve. There are things that will not work unless you know certain underpinnings of docker, dns/networking, etc. But to say it doesn’t work and goes haywire doesn’t make sense. It’s an extremely stable piece of software.
It is just a matter of getting used to it by studying each process one by one. There is no magic behind it.
I've seen his version, and I've the attempts to debunk. I've also seen his attempts to debunk the debunkers, and so on

I am emphatically not convinced by the attempts to debunk.

Furthermore there is a situation where Lars clearly did start with a source, and attempted to reproduce exactly that. In other words he did what you say he didn't. Does he know what the thing he found is the way it was actually done? He doesn't, and says so. But it is one way it could have been done, and reproduces the historical feats of archery.

It started when a group of Native Americans pointed out in https://indiancountrytoday.com/archive/videos-lost-and-found... that they have maintained an archery tradition that Lars had ignored. However after Lars talked with actual Comanches, he found that they had lost the technique by which the Comanches fired so quickly. A technique which, according to both pictures and books, was completely different than the style that Lars had figured out based on Arab and Asian sources. They could still make and shoot the bows an arrows, but not at the speed described in history books.

And so, working with a Comanche archer and with authentic Comanche bows and arrows, Lars experimented until to find a method that fit the historical record. He was able to achieve historical speed and accuracy with a very different technique than he used before. Yes, he did it from from horseback, and whoed it could be done while hanging off of horseback. (He doesn't appear to be good enough to actually do it at speed while hanging off an actual horse, but that is a question of horsemanship, not of archery.)

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liHlCRpS70k for Lars' version of this. And https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMWOUCuZ-kQ for the Comanche he worked with.

If you're a glutton for punishment, he explains himself at length in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4mqt69VZ28. And you get to see what he thinks he got right, what he thinks he got wrong, and the limits of what he claims to know.

The most interesting point for me is that practice with shooting moving things interferes with shooting at a stationary target, and vice versa. This "two related things interfere with each other in your brain" is something I've personally experienced with Go vs Chess. But it is fascinating that it happens with archery.
There's a ton of compromises like this in video games. Like "shotgun=short range damage" or the ability for players to alter their trajectory mid-air. Similar changes are often made in the name of atmosphere.

Reading this made me think of how newer homes and furniture burn faster, giving you less time to escape a fire. Research shows that 30 years ago, you had about 17 minutes to escape a house fire. Today it's only 3 or 4 minutes.
Those are really good points. So let’s make a country team: brand, localization/UX, marketing & sales, talent/HR, a few managers - say 50 staff. Twitter careers list some 23 counties (28 cities). Let’s round up to 50 so that’s 50 locations * 50 staff = 2500. (No way it’s this richly staffed in each city).

Plus the 500 for engineering, DevOps, security and another 1000 for managers, PMs and all the other supporting/corporate roles. Grand total: 4500.

Current staffing of ~7500 still seems partly unexplainable to me, for what the product is.
Back in 1989 - Dow Chemcial made a proposal. Even then, there was too many plastic type to sort out and contamination was a major issue. They had a realistic but somewhat defeatist solution. Just burn it all. Use it for heat and power, treat plastic as an intermediate step of oil and nothing more. Then figure out emissions capture technology so that it can be stored somehow.

I don't agree with it entirely but I did like that it was an realistic approach to a complex problem.
I can't help but wonder how much the open sourcing of Stable Diffusion contributed to the decision to do this release.

I actually suspect incineration is not a bad method at all, just wonder were everything else would go. I assume scrubbers or something.
This is a much better idea, actually. You're right that what I mentioned is a bad misuse of C++ features.

I initially did think of simply letting the build system handle it (CMake can do this excellently, as can Meson, probably) by simply choosing different source files for different target OSs, but when typing out the parent comment, I forgot about it in my train of thought.

Come to think of it, this is far more elegant.
Print it out and put it in a bank safe deposit box. Or, consult an attorney.

> And the vaccine is a statistically safer bet

Given that the risk of infection is well studied now for average healthy people, where measuring severe outcomes is a matter of how infinitesimally close to 0% it is, I trust my immune system that's the product of millions of years of evolution vs. overly self-confident scientists working alongside pharmaceutical companies maximizing profit and minimizing any knowledge of side-effects and risks associated with their products.

I tried to answer this above[0]. Instead of trying to explain it again, I’d encourage you to give it a try[1], and if after going through the 5-minute tutorial you still don’t get the point then a) maybe we messed up (and I’ll be sorry for having wasted your time!) or b) maybe it’s not for you (and I’ll also be sorry I wasted your time). It took me a while to wrap my head around this Docker+Wasm thing too when I first heard about it internally — then again it took me months to wrap my head around my first demo of Docker, so maybe I’m just dense!

True, at the OS level the JVM libs/framework are going to rely on some thread pool of non-blocking IO. Maybe a more fair comparison on calling them the same abstraction is event-loop/callbacks versus fibers.

Yes, women who have paid content on OnlyFans or similar platforms. In some cases it's IRL sex workers.

If you’re looking for alternative analogies, feel free to use a colostomy one here if you want.

The actual ratio will vary as a function of the attractiveness of the recipient. Your average joe probably gets none (or as close to none as statistically possible without actually being none). Your guy who looks like he just walked off a runway in Milan, OTOH, can probably count on getting at least a few a day, if only because they are the focus of so much attention.

The republicans in the WW1 era were the more liberal of the two parties, no?

The democrats at that time were reactionary populists AFAIK and “the left” would probably have been smaller socdem, demsoc and communist parties, as well as labour unions.
The general loss of knowledge is something I've only personally started to notice during the last 2-3 years.

For most of my life I didn't even think that we were still at a stage where we could lose valuable knowledge.

But it clearly is everywhere, including basic everyday technology such as Electronics, Software, Wood working or even Cooking.

My gut feeling is that the knowledge loss that occurs at every generation is non-linear depending on the field, but it is higher than 75% overall, and probably more.

The loss rate could be reduced by increasing healthy lifespan.

It seems off-target to get an emotional response from pointing out that millions of people have a slightly wrong picture of what a Saturn V rocket looked like. This is trivia. Most of those people aren't rocket engineers. Having a better idea of what it looked like would help you draw one slightly more accurately, and that's it.

It doesn't help us understand how much important knowledge was lost by the people who really should know how to do it. It seems like SpaceX is doing okay?

I remember ordering 5-MAPB back in the day and then flushing it because I wasn't totally sure of its toxicity. I'm still not sure, but there are at least some indications that it has physical toxicity similar to MDMA and 5-APB: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27156124/

I'm not sure about neurotoxicity either, but if you do some searching online, you'll find many anecdotal reports of people having miserable times for sometimes months following use. Those are mostly high or frequent doses, but I certainly don't feel comfortable taking a drug about which we know so little.

> pigs fed on the acorns they dropped

I walked some extremely undulating oak woodland valleys recently, which seemed oddly absent of squirrels but perhaps that's normal close to a windy coastline - as a result the floor was completely coated with acorns. I can imagine the more agile swine depicted would be far more suited to gobbling them up in such a challenging landscape; I'm pretty sure a modern pig would have little chance of safely navigating the slopes.
Dd is super useful for incrementally writing boot loader data to /dev device endpoints when offsets are required (multiple images).

This is very common with u-boot and eMMC/microSD devices on SBC (pi clones, etc).

It’s also generally valuable to be precise and explicit when messing with boot loader data in general.

I think the author is under appreciating these use cases.
