I just DDG’d “brand safety conference”. Turns out to be an executive-class professional role.

> The Brand Safety Institute was founded to professionalize and advance the executive capacity needed at every company to protect their brands.

> There are certified brand safety practitioners at the world’s largest advertising agency holding companies, global 500 brands, and major technology platforms.

Makes sense that someone has to be responsible for making sure their brand not be associated with bad things.
BLM protestors looted and rioted many cities. It was all over the news. They even took control of a police station and part of a town. It’s concerning you’ve forgotten this portion of our history.

George Floyd’s killer was found guilty and sentenced. Does that mean nothing?

Breonna Taylor was with someone that shot at police. It’s unfortunate what happened but perhaps one shouldn’t associate with people doing such things if they want to avoid these situations.

In my case:

Limiting case 1: I worked in an office before coronavirus and was well respected as a lead contributor. Smashed all of my reviews, went contracting, fantastic.

Limiting case 2: during coronavirus I was the only person in the office. This company culture eventually made me lose my sanity to the extent that I had to seek help. I couldn't work at all, 0% productivity.

For me it's obvious that environment matters.

In defense of what? A brigade of null pointer exceptions?

A node pointing to NULL is a metaphor of loneliness. A linked list with tail and head connected, a powerful symbol of a closed cycle.

The Canadian government just doubled down on immigration to attempt to bring in 500,000 new immigrants per year[0]. Note, this does not include other sources of immigration, such as students and other types of international work visas.

Since most immigration goes to the major Canadian cities of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, there is a serious impact on housing and services. For reference, it's as if the US government committed to bringing in over 5 million immigrants per year and putting them in the 5 biggest metro areas, without any increase in housing development, education or health care.

This is also probably why the health care system is collapsing, why educational quality is decreasing and why housing prices have sky-rocketed to some of the most unaffordable in the entire world.

NO! This is extremely dangerous misinformation. Nobody on the right is trying to end democracy. This is a lie started by the left media in order to convince the left to get out and vote. If you keep spreading this misinformation, you will likely push people on the left to violence.
Environment makes a big difference, and environmental changes that make a huge difference can even be much smaller than it seems. I once worked at at a place where I spent years in the same team, always as a dev lead, but with rotating managers. The difference between a review in the top 5% that comes with a big bonus and being marked as needing major improvement can be just a lone manager change and 3 months.

It's not that startups ask for more, and corporate jobs for less: Teams and expectations vary wildly, even within the same department of a big company. There are startups that take two weeks off for christmas, and others where they fire new people ever 5 months, and think that 996 is a good schedule. You could be mentored and helped, or left to dry.

And it's not even that expectations of early contributions are a problem: I've had great success expecting contributions on literal day 1, from people right out of school... but the tasks were planned long before, as we saved tasks for onboarding when we knew there was someone coming soon. Nothing like showing a new person that they can make some quality of life improvements to the team's tools, and see how the entire team gets to keep using them, many months later.

Employee on-boarding success is 90% preparation from the people leading the team and setting expectations. If my new hire is overwhelmed, and can't do what I ask them, I failed them far more than they failed me. But in an industry like ours, we rarely think about onboarding, teach the skills to do it well, or reward people that are being successful. In some cases, it might even be the other way around: Add some stack ranking, and a good part of the team might be better off if you struggle and get the worst review. Other times leads just got there by getting a lot of code written, but haven't had to bother for a second about how other people are feeling, and how to help them be more productive.

So be kind with the people that aren't any good at this, and try to learn how this is done well, just so that when you are in a position to help a new team member, as a lead, mentor, or just onboarding buddy, you can make sure you don't end up giving people the Company B treatment
Maybe they thought they were fighting
oppression. But at the same time they
were oppressing. They became what they
claimed to fight.

I see your misunderstanding. You're misunderstanding the terminology. Oppression doesn't simply mean "being mean to people" or "hurting people."

Oppression involves systemic power. Control of the courts, the justice system, the police, the government, of business. Some or all of the above.

Some protestors acted badly! They were wrong! I agree with you! But that is not the same as oppression.

I mean, plastics were basically invented _because_ of their resistance to natural degradation and corrosion. A material that nature cannot destroy is a weapon of mass destruction. Anything sold to the general public _must_ be biodegradable.

Instead, we're going to invent bacteria that can eat plastics, and plastics will lose its utility as an indestructible material.
Curious to hear about these good intentions from MS/IE after the browser wars. Honestly, not being sarcastic. From what I've heard they stopped innovating because they no longer had competition, until Firefox in the early 2000's.

As I saw someone point out somewhere in the last few days, he can’t see it because he’s Elon Musk.

He’s rich and seemingly successful at everything he does. People fawn all over him. He has enough money to buy his way out of almost anything, and he’s been able to get away with insane stuff like naming Autopilot, testing it on public roads w/o any oversight, lying to the SEC, ignoring his deal with the SEC, stuff in his personal life, etc.

He seemingly hasn’t ever had to face real consequences. At least not since he was a child.

So he’s not scared of them. He doesn’t care. Doesn’t think about it. He’s always right because he’s Elon Musk.

So when he doesn’t get his way he doesn’t understand and lashes out (e.g. pedo remark over sub to help kids in cave).

And he was getting more fans! The right wing had started to embrace him! He knew what to say to them! More praise!

Then something happened. He screwed up massively. He jokingly(?) made an offer to buy Twitter with moronic terms. And based on what we’re seeing that probably would have gone badly.

But it got worse. The market dropped a bunch and now his high price was crazy. But he couldn’t back out because he agreed to terms preventing it! He lost a ton (stock holdings) and now had to overpay for Twitter or face a lawsuit.

And he seemed to be more scared of the lawsuit than wasting all that money and destroying Twitter.

It’s all consequences. And Elon Musk doesn’t know about consequences. So he’s responding to them like a 5 year old, lashing out. But that’s causing more consequences.

Advertisers/etc got nervous about his “no moderation” approach. Consequences. He tried to reassure them and pissed off all his new right-wing friends. Consequences. But the advertisers are holding back so now Twitter has less money (and new heavy debt). So he tries to raise money with the blue check thing and everyone gets mad. Consequence. Decided to cut a ton of jobs to save a lot of money. Now EVERYONE is unsure about Twitters future and advertisers get MORE scared. Consequences.

He’s not living in Elon world any more. And he can’t take it. It can’t be his fault. He’s perfect. It must be someone else’s fault.

Begun, the conspiracy theories have.

> Apple’s Rosetta 2 and Valve’s Proton have shown that these kind of emulations can be extremely effective.

Rosetta and Rosetta 2 are CPU emulation with the same underlying OS – so quite a different problem from what WINE/Proton/etc address. And something Microsoft actually already has anyway – their implementation is less impressive than Apple's in terms of performance, although it can do some interesting things which Apple's can't – in particular, mix emulated x86-64 and native ARM code in a single binary image and process (Arm64EC) – Apple fat binaries are two completely separate binaries concatenated together into a single file, only one of which is actually loaded; Windows Arm64EC binaries mix x86-64 and Aarch64 code in a single binary image, so one function can be native and the other emulated. A program can be native Aarch64, but still be able to load legacy x86-64 plugin DLLs, with some performance penalty incurred for the later [0] – something Rosetta or Rosetta 2 can't do, although Classic MacOS had similar support for mixing emulated 68k and native PPC code in a single process.

Valve's Proton is just a fork of Wine, and it works great for a carefully curated subset of games. However, games are a relatively narrow category of applications, there are lots of things other categories of applications will do which games never will.

> 3. Build a binary parser like Rosetta that detects use of any incompatible Windows APIs

Sometimes, the problem is not with the APIs themselves, but particular patterns of using them. A straightforward emulation of a Win32 API under Linux will behave the same for the vast majority of cases, but in rare edge cases will behave differently. Inspecting a binary to detect what APIs it uses won't tell you whether it is one of the minority of APIs which depends on one of those edge cases. Sometimes the developers themselves won't even know, because it is not unheard of for developers to do weird stupid things by accident rather than intention, yet it just so happens they work, and they don't even realise they've done something weird and stupid.

The biggest problem with your proposal, is will the huge dollar investment it would require of Microsoft, actually be worth it for them? Even if (maybe) saves money in the long run, it will cost a lot more in the short-to-medium term. And the fact is, Windows licensing revenue is still massive enough to more than pay for what Microsoft is spending on Windows development, so there is no financial pressure for them to save money in the long-run – and migrating Windows to Linux would make it easier for their customers to migrate away from Windows, hence risking that revenue stream. Why take such a big risk with one of their cash cows for such an unclear benefit for them?

I assert that getting people to boycott me because I don't buy his services would be an unfair use of his power.

And if you disagree, then please explain to me how boycotting Twitter or people who advertise on Twitter is bad...?
Correct me if I am wrong, but while IIRC most (but not all) Mastodon clients (more or less) blocked Gab by default, it was then Gab that chose to fork the protocol and break compatibility (completely ?)
It’s also very hard to convince the left they have a hate problem as well. Read your comment again, you’re claiming that hate only comes from one side. Republicans have been called Nazis, facists, ultra mega MAGA, uneducated, all to sow hate against them. Are literally all republicans Nazis? Or facists? Or is the left being extreme and spreading hate?
I've run into the same problems. You compiled good useful information, I will bookmark. If you had named it "Choosing the best surrogate key format" I wouldn't have complained at all!

I have a customer with a fairly large database (university students). URLs on the site often have primary keys in them. They use autoincrement integers for the primary keys. Most operations require the user to log in first, so the system can check access to rows based on user permissions, so even if someone tries to change the key in the URL they won't get anything. For the handful of public-facing URLs that have a key in them we set up tokens (UUIDs) that map through an intermediate table to the real key. That way we get the benefits of simple incrementing integer keys for authorized users and internal operations, and hide those keys when presented to the outside world. Very much what you describe. We could not identify good natural keys for the main tables. Some tables have natural keys, i.e. the country table uses ISO country codes. The ordering/pagination issue you mention in your article falls outside the realm of proper relational database design but comes up a lot in real applications.
The risk for Twitter isn’t that it might go down for some periods of time.

The risk is that if it starts going down on a regular basis and/or performance is degraded, a competitor could swoop in and clean their clocks.

FWIW I did look at the "current" bottom of your link - I found a handful of dead out of 1300 comments. Did you see an order of magnitude different?

Ed: again, I didn't say "none", I said "few".
The Post's article acknowledges Roth's tweet -- but that "Trust & Safety organization" seems like a different organization than the election information team that "has worked for years to counter election-related falsehoods."

"As recently as two weeks ago, Twitter was touting the team’s debunking efforts as a key aspect of its approach to the 2022 midterms. But on Friday, multiple Twitter employees told The Washington Post the entire team appeared to have been cut amid Musk’s layoffs."

Funny, I know a decent amount about k8s these days, but I've never really used AWS. I think there's a lot of systems that try to solve the same problems: "define these services, keep them running, here's how to check if they're down, here's how to restart them, keep resource usage to this level." Systemd, kubernetes, and individual cloud providers all have their own way to describe these.

One of the upsides of k8s is that it gives you a general, platform-agnostic way to describe this, on AWS or GCP or self-hosted or whatever. The downside is that it's more flexible and therefore more abstract than any particular provider. The upside is that you only have to learn one set of concepts (in theory).

Can you explain what you mean? also what about higher ranked results that don’t match the topic that closely? are you relying on YouTube’s ranking for keywords or do your own?
I haven't given it a lot of thought, but I tend to agree with you. The sister comment to your comment (about AAPL and it's tracking/privacy changes and the effects on other companies) is a good example why. Some externalities may be realized as effects on other companies that may be part of a portfolio, but some may not be. For example, what about how users value their privacy?

It's a very interesting legal approach, but that doesn't make it right. Externalities are very tricky.
Ok, so maybe this is tin foil hat but maybe the 4d chess is to destroy Twitters relationship with its advertisers so that advertisers lose control of the platform and he can go ahead with the long term “free speech” changes. It is his and Jack’s vision, the only question is does he have the money to fund twitter until he can cut costs and raise money.
It would be cool of it was based both on available bandwidth AND usage over 1TB. E.g. when the network is over-utilized, any users over 1TB will be throttled.
