So don't spray tiny objects around. :) Keep them nicely tucked away in an arena.

Vectors actually tend to create a spray of tiny objects... As opposed to a true dynamic array which has limitations in resize. If you're lucky, they will keep a single dynamic array per vector. You're usually not this lucky with bigger data.

This is already done for almost every other wireless carrier with QoS (QCI in this context). No need to cap the heavy users, just de-prioritize them if the spots are too congested. [1][2] (QCI parameters may vary by carrier and region equipment vendor.) I spend most of my month at QCI 9 but I live in a semi-rural area with a high capacity cell pointed at me, so deprioritization doesn't matter for me, I'm harming literally nobody using >1TB/mo. If my town threw some festival and I bogged down, I have the choice of either switching to a deprioritized line or driving to a non-congested cell.

If they really have to hard cap it suggests they are either: 1. assholes or 2. built a poorly designed system that congests at more than the transponder spots.

interesting that you are hacking the apps. I didn't realize you could use the same # over and over. They've done everything they can to not allow VOIP so I had to use my actual #. The extent of this I have done was previously running the app in a VM and being able to change location without having to pay but they made it too difficult and I just decided to pay because it's not that much.

definitely the business model is messed up though.

In retrospect I probably saw warning signs that I wasn't compatible with someone but ignored it because I just wanted a match. Maybe that is part of what was happening when I said I found out too late someone wasn't compatible. It's quite possible I was forcing something to happen. I have to think about that, it was months ago now.

You might be on to something describing the need for validation and desperation that happens. It's definitely making decisions with clouded judgement. A part of me thinks that people shouldn't make the matches themselves, they should be assigned after being checked for compatibility and attraction before any chatting happens. not sure there is a perfect way to do this though.
I thought “surely this will be parody” but no, there it is.
So, I’m sitting here in a small town in Uruguay on the coast. I’m American and I’m thinking about this third world country (please, this is how they refer to themselves - not as a developing nation, so just hard stop right there) and I’m thinking about where we are as humans, are heading. Well, as my father said tonight, history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes…here we are. What is going on??? I try and try as someone who grew up as the only white kid in my area in Chicago, dirt poor, to understand how, in my opinion, we as the United States, and therefore the world, are going backwards. (Sorry I’m using the US as a bell weather for the world because through my travels I’ve found this true.) why why why is there not improvement everywhere? Can we not do that as a human race? Do we not have enough resources. Now, some will write, but medicine has extended our lifespans, etc etc. Ok, but are we closer as humans? Have we implemented solutions that some say we are able to solve like world hunger? Na…anyway, rage came on the scenes when I was in middle school-ish. It was the mainstream radical that had existed during the 60s, but just one band made it mainstream - there were of course others that didn’t blow up. A group that came on the scene when it was comfortable in this country, as we were exporting our manufacturing jobs abroad. Rage spoke up about what was going on and it was strange. People were comfortable in the US and they banged their heads to the music but what did they absorb - what actions were taken? Things need to get shaken up to preserve democracy, challenge it. But this wasn’t necessarily the result from the band. We don’t see stuff like this mainstream. We are at a crossroads currently. I’m not sure the “best” outcome is going to show its face. If it did we would have more groups like this now that were mainstream. But instead we have Taylor swift filling the top ten - family member of JP Morgan Chase (disclosure, I bank w them but don’t listen to her music). I’m ranting, but all I have to say is that their music was inspiring and helped inspire me to pursue “sustainable business”. I hope to live in a world one day that instead of operating at .05% of its potential (quotation needed), it operates at just 25%. The mixture of music genres and messaging that rage created moved along the path of informing us of the struggles through a medium in which we could all connect…if you liked grunge and hip hop and all that.

If some of y’all want to throw some lyrics from their songs up on this post, it would definitely exemplify what I’m saying. Rage, thanks for keeping us apprised…

“Check it, since 1516, minds attacked and overseen
Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream
With their borders and boots, on top of us
Pullin' knobs on the floor, of their toxic metropolis
But how you gonna get what you need to get?
The gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet
The fifth sun sets get back reclaim
The spirit of Cuauhtémoc, alive and untamed
Now face the funk now blastin' out your speaker

Yeah, this is for the people of the sun!”
They do obsess about reducing human intervention, but in every system I've ever seen, you still need humans for the "out of context" problems https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OutsideContextPr...

For example, one day SRE got alerted that a bunch of expensive accelerators were unexpectedly shutting down and not restarting production. SRE has to reach out in this case to the SWEs who build/designed the system to ask some clarifying questions. Together, the SREs and SWEs form a series of hypotheses about the cause, ultimately discovering an entirely unanticipated failure mode.

I think I'm one of the few people in the world who has attached a $100K oscilloscope to the voltage regulator on a machine learning accelerator to debug why a specific training job that did a series of convolutions at a highly specific rate would cause a DC-DC regulator to act like an AC source. It took far, far longer to write and deploy the rule that detected this problem in prod than it took us to identify the problem and stop the killer job.
Adidas took that action out of self interest. Claiming that they didn't want to do it is beside the point.
Has Mozilla provided $35M for open-source foundations that work in initiatives compatible to the Mozilla Foundation?
They had a tremendous effect on many young peoples politics at the time. At least on my politics. That is much more than most political bands by a wide margin. Anyway, I don’t really think music can have a big effect on politics per se, but music can be important for political movements.
OT but does anyone know a general purpose ring buffer implementation for Java?
And now, you WILL do what they tell you.
Rather than embarking on something that proved to be hard by decades of trying, or inventing something complex and unique, Mozilla took a less powerful existing tool, very simple and well known to every contributor.

They acted as if they tried to make it simple and easy for the community to keep MDN up and up to date. Outrageous!
One piece that is for some reason insanely undervalued right now is: a global key sharing system with a baked-in reputation mechanism (you can burn cash to prove to the world you care about your public key). Combined with a human-readable naming system (like https://ens.domains/ or https://www.lens.xyz/), you've got the world's simplest and most useful auth system. SIWE (https://login.xyz/) is going to be the de-facto auth standard for all new web applications at some point in the near-ish future.
Distribution costs are the reason why record labels earned so much money - it provided friction to piracy, since copying a vinyl was as expensive (if not more) than buying a new one. That friction is no longer there, and such a model cannot work anymore. Perhaps the age of "rock stars" collecting rent for years is simply over. Why should artists be rewarded indefinitely for just one piece of work? Perhaps the very expectations are inflated due to the previous golden age.

Artists should be rewarded for their work - but artificially limiting everyone's ability to share information is not the right way to do it. It would have severe consequences for the free society.

Another way must be found. I don't have any ideas, but I know that restriction of sharing information is not a good one.
I read through it, can you please quote the part where Mudge says Twitter lied about their mDAU count, or lied about their count of bots on the platform?

Mudge says Parag is lying about not being incentivized to remove spam, and then tries to do a sleight of hand thing by saying Musk is right because Musk is confused by what he sees in his own replies on the site vs what Twitter is actually reporting in their SEC filings. Those are two separate numbers, and Twitter only reported one.
A c++ vector internally uses an array - which is a chunk of memory where each item is just in the next spot in memory in sequential order. Eg, the array [1,2,3] might have 1 at memory address 100, 2 at memory address 101 and 3 at memory address 102. Given an array index, you can figure out where a value is stored in memory pretty trivially.

When the array fills up, vector will allocate a fresh array (thats bigger - often 2x bigger) and copy everything over. This is slow - because it has to copy everything. But much faster than you think.

So thats how C++'s vector (and Rust's Vec) work.

Javascript implementations (like v8) can swap out the implementation behind the scenes based on how you're using your array. The API is always the same - but the way the array works in memory will be different based on whatever is fastest given the way you're using your array. (V8 doesn't know ahead of time what sort of data will be in your array or what you're using it for, so it guesses then changes things up if it guesses wrong).

Here's a blog post talking about some of the internal details in V8:

https://itnext.io/v8-deep-dives-understanding-array-internal...

The actual implementation is much more complex than this blog post suggests. (I think they also optimize based on push/pop vs shift/unshift vs other stuff).
We're all adults, don't like his style, don't work for him. It's that simple.
Obviously enough people don't think his style is harsh or vicious, as described in the article, otherwise his numerous companies wouldn't have a line out the door of prospective employees.

My take on the article was Musk drives you like a good highschool sports coach. Demanding, hard, unforgiving... and you either live up to the high expectations or you are weeded out.

Which actually sounds wonderful... working with an entire organization that is aligned in thought and motivations, and everyone bringing their 'A' game. Compare that to your current job...

Not to mention the guy in the article only worked with Musk for less than 1 year, over 20 years ago. I don't know about you, but I'm not the same person I was 20 year ago...
You are currently being downvoted, but I think it depends and you are half-right.

Free speech as in the first amendment is pretty universal.

Free speech as in Twitter bans and complaining about cancel culture is largely the far right.

Well, we'll find out on November 14th if the SLS is going anywhere. That's the next scheduled try at a launch.
The prefetcher doesn't even have to get involved for linear sequences, it would only get involved after a cache miss threshold is met. The fastest and simplest prefetcher, L1, is stream based and will work great for sequential data.
They've made 100% of their customer base the garbage cans then. They commingle their inventory with fly by night resellers' inventory so counterfeits are plentiful. They combine products together. That indicates it's just a way to make customers feel comfortable clicking buy not actually allowing customers to share useful opinions.
In the US, the presumption is innocence until proven guilty. The pregnant women would have to prove they were targeted with evidence, not the other way around.

Any method of firing is allowed as long as it wasn't based on protected class, even if they pulled names randomly from a hat. The person suing would need hard evidence. Firing based on lack of fanboy attitude is also perfectly legal. Age and disability are not.

Anything is possible, but my money is on nothing happening.

>60 days severance.

No it’s crazier than that they get paid for the next 90 days but are not allowed to work at Twitter. They’re in a paid but ‘non-working’ status. In addition they will be offered severance. This board is hilarious in thinking that the package musk is offering is in any way ‘cruel’.
It started rolling out to everyone in the US in early October, and first version launched at smaller scale back in January 2021

Thank you. I can now say with confidence that I have seen it all.
I am probably not what you would call a "liberal woke" but I must say I do find this sentiment rather disturbing.

> People deluded into thinking they are important

This is called having self-respect

> and untouchable

I presume you thought it was about being untouchable because of their supposed woke superiority but it's been pointed out that it was just good old financial independence, being free to choose your own path and not be a subordinate.

> when they are replaceable cogs

Sometimes it's true that people do grunt work that is easily learned, but never underestimate the ability of a thoughtful person to make any thing or process better, and conversely a spiteful person to ruin everyone's day. It is really harmful to explicitly think about real people in this way.

> Give it a few more firings and this guy will be the next generation of deplorable.

Let's hope for a better future for you, this guy and the rest of us.
Evangelicals are a very loud minority.
That's just blatantly wrong. There is still great journalism out there and the depth and breath of quality news is now reaching farther than ever before.

But of course you are right: who could have foreseen how much bad news people want to read and how little they want to pay for quality news. Why do people watch Fox or read Murdock media rags?
That chart seems to be indicating 7TB per hour at the peak, not per day.
Oh really? That isn't too much more than the AWS egress fee per GB.
The idea that using copilot "damages" copyright seems ill-considered.

Suppose a commercial software company just took GPL-licensed software and openly incorporated into their own code and then sold. Would that "damage" copyright also? Remember, there's no legal principle that says "if we catch violating copyright, your stuff is now free". The copyright holder can sue for damages or to stop distribution and that's it.

People like Larry Ellison of Oracle have claimed they just steal GPL'd stuff 'cause it there. But Oracle defends it's copyrighted code very aggressively. Oppositely, the GPL is intended to allow more open access than public domain in a time where commercial companies want to take anything they can get.
"Simpler". If you're only single-threaded, the mutable structures are simpler.

If you're multi-threaded, you have to choose: Do I go with immutable, which means that the other thread gets something safe? It also means that the other thread gets something stale (out of date), which can have its own consequences.

Or do I use a lock or mutex, which means that I have to place guards in all the right places, which is error-prone and can break in weird ways if I miss one?

Or do I use mutable data without guards, and just let it crash? (Because it's probably going to crash if I do that...)
Despite the restaurant rant I think Tom Morello is the better activist. Zach was certainly the more committed and extreme activist. Tom’s show on SirusXM is awesome and I highly recommend it.

There are a couple good article if you google Tom Morello activism, I’d link but some plate behind paywalls.
A bad Netflix show can't give me food poisoning or burn my house down.
I don’t buy the premise: it’s not clear to me how prolonging our dependence on personal cars saves the planet, or how anything about space exploration is going to save the billions of humans who live on Earth.

It’s very easy to confuse objects of technical fascination with moral virtue, particularly when our world appears bleak. But Musk has demonstrated no motives other than profit and infamy.
The "public code examples" have specific licenses that aren't being met.
> That voter is much more connected to reality than the typical academic, politician or professional though. Because they actually go out and do things in the real world.

I might be off-base here, but I am unsure if you have thought through the ramifications of your statements. What your statement seems to be implicitly saying is that, (a few examples)

- Surgeons who stitch up gunshot wounds in ERs

- Doctors & nurse practitioners who deliver care to communities across the US

- Developers who write the critical code that runs airplanes

- Scientists & engineers who do nanoscale fabrication

- Environmental scientists embedded inside local communities, studying long-term environmental changes

e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/07/climate/climate-change-ma...

- Embedded anthropologists studying populations & subcultures in Iraq & Afghanistan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Terrain_System

- Poets and artists living in these communities

- Social scientists who study how rural Americans are used as a cheap workforce

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/mlg/

- Developers at Google & DDG writing the code that allows billions of people to do work every day

- Scientists managing the US food supply and researching new ways to protect it,

https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2016-10-19

- Devs at companies like Stripe that power significant parts of the US economy

Your text suggests that all of these people (and the millions more who aren't on the list) are less in tune with "reality" by default as compared to a random plumber or electrician. (I assume that you are referring to working class professions when you say "average voter")

The text also says that they don't "go out and do things in the real world."

It would be deeply wrong to assume that a random plumber or electrician is somehow lesser or incorrect by default. But it's also deeply wrong to say that the people who make important contributions that keep the lights of civilization on aren't somehow connected to reality by default.
Conversely, if you say that "UK politics and government is dominated by Whites" without mentioning that the Prime Minister is of Indian origin you are making an equally misleading omission.
Linked list is useful when you are hurting for memory and need precision memory allocation, like in the kernel. You trade memory compactness for more operation time in dealing with its certain aspects.

I use Airmail and I pay only $10 a year through Mac App Store. I used to use Polymail several years ago but after it started charging insane subscription, I dropped it immediately.
My local dentist used to use this as a sort of intercom system. When the hygienist was done cleaning your teeth, she would use winpopup to broadcast a message to let the dentist know that the patient was ready in exam room 6. It made cleanings at least a bit enjoyable.

Seems like a poor approach to just throw out a system based on a fault case (or two, or ten, or at Twitter’s scale, immense amounts of iffy and bad corner cases).
> What precautions and safety measures does the NCSC take when scanning?

> The NCSC is committed to conducting scanning activities in a safe and responsible manner. As such, all our probes are verified by a senior technical professional and tested in our own environment before use. We also limit how often we run scans to ensure we don’t risk disrupting the normal operation of systems.

That is it? So... One gal looks at in and says, yep, fire up the guns! All is go!? Can I see the publish test? Can I see your "own environment"?

What will they do if (when) this service gets whacked and delivers a DoS on a bunch of sites? Send the webmaster a free credit check?

How does cloudflare, akamai, and similar feel about this?

Personally, I would not trust my dog's toothbrush to any gouvernement.

I would be happy to see this if it was opt in.

In my opinion, they should have spent all the money on securing themselves, increase their own security education, increase security staff compensation to get higher caliber staff, and public education.
Perhaps more controversially is the reminder that Washington Post and Twitter are just two large media organisations privately owned by billionaires. And it's no secret that Bezos and Musk are not friends.

Twenty years ago. I’ve no doubt Musk is mercurial, but the time gap alone is enough to render the article likely moot.
Kinda agreeing, but I have to say sometimes there's a thin line between sport coach and bad leader. You gotta ensure tact and fairness.
It doesn't help that the US keeps throwing tariffs on top of Canadian softwood. Let's increase inflation by raising prices on a critical input to housing construction!
They used various dark pattern marketing techniques to try and convince people to pay and make the site look like a legit library, so clearly some commercial intent even if it was always possible to download for free (maybe to provide some deniability?).
my org is like that, and it’s not full of narcissists who fire people, yell at people, and treat others with contempt. no one acts as if they are the arbiter of all decisions, or that they know some untold secret of the universe. we also put things into space and help humankind, so idk mileage may vary i guess.
The difference is your sports coach knows what good looks like. Musk is a bloviating idiot demanding on-paper code review.
