Not everyone needs external challenge of "afford rent". Some people are entirely fine with picking their own goal and striving for it, without their survival at stake.
Every once in a blue moon when I pick up my locked iPhone (which auto-locks in just 30 seconds) and engage the home button just as the screen comes alive from the gyro sensing movement, it unlocks on its own. It just flashes the PIN dialog and slides right onto the home screen. I don't use Touch ID, and never stored my print with it even once to test the feature/hardware. It's been happening ever since iOS 11, with both my 1st gen. iPhone SE and my current iPhone 8.

I’m saying that talking about a worker shortage won’t raise anyone’s wages. Offering and paying higher wages to attract workers will.

Companies can complain about a worker shortage all they want; if they want to fix it, they need to realize they have a salary shortage.
Besides my opinion that iOS is just simply better built and more secure, the biggest difference for me comes down to the UI. Maybe my mind is just wired more for iOS, but subjectively I would say that it's by far the superior user interface. Snappy as hell too.

Fwiw, an entry-level tenured professor in France has to teach about 200 hours/year. This is a bit daunting the first year, but as you gain experience it's not that hard. Notice that this also includes hours for mentoring undergrad interns, masters students, etc. So if you are active in research, it's quite easy to cover nearly half of this teaching load for "free", thanks to students that want to work with you in your little projects. It's an awesome environment to be honest!

They CLAIM that they are planning to do that.

'Most money' I won't argue but I don't see how 'free market' leads to 'worst morals'. In a 'free market of ideas' people do their best to choose the best morals, some tomfoolery might make that harder to distinguish but people aren't helpless babes with no capacity for critical thought, and most of us rightly disdain empty virtue signaling.

I tried it. I was thoroughly entertained for a few hours, then I quit. It’s like junk food for your brain. Extremely high reward never ending content.

I think this, or a future version of this, would have real potential.

I'm thinking about this in terms of the navigator-pilot pair programming approach, and believe that as a senior, if it's even half-as-good as working with a fresh out of uni hire, then it could have real value. When there's a piece of code that I would like written, when I have good test cases in mind, but would prefer to offload it on someone, I could perhaps write the test cases and function signatures (maybe with the bot's help), get the bot to fill in the blanks until it passes the tests, and then give it direct feedback on how to refactor the code.

I've signed up for the waiting list and am excited to try this out.
Android introduced face unlocking in 2011[0]. It used the regular front camera and hence had no depth information, which makes it vulnerable to photos[1]. It was removed in Android 10, when a new face authentication interface[2] was added. Face unlocking without specialized hardware such as what iPhones have is not secure.

Imo, the problem isn't that cultures influence other cultures, but the speed at which this now happens. I like many parts of American culture but I don't think that it should be the only culture. For a smaller group to develop and preserve its identity, it needs time and some amount of isolation. Not sure how this could happen in the modern world, but wouldn't it be great to be able to go somewhere and see people with different scientific ideas, art, technology, philosophy etc?

> Art is just old school NFTs.

I am an art collector. None of it is rare or wildly expensive. Nor do I expect to resell any of it.

It might shock you to discover that I collect that art simply because I enjoyed looking at it and having it. I go to art galleries to see art that I do not own, not because of its financial value, but because I enjoyed looking at it.

The idea that art is exactly an precisely an investment vehicle is simply false to the fact. And honestly, I find it horrifying and empty.

Given how much engineers make at Google after a long interview process to supposedly only get the best people, how significant the login system is to security, how "industry standard" the Google process is, it's not a bug that should have ever made it live. The bug fix show that the issue was clearly a case of a set of people not communicating well, code reviews being lax, and a general lack of understanding of how Android works.

It's also possible that the code is too complex to understand fully which is a requirement for a correct operation. Bugs happen, but I've seen way too many cases where complexity and lack of understanding led to surprisingly bad outcomes.

The login process should have the highest amount of scrutiny.

Besides a wrong push, the reflog gives you all that albeit not very intuitive. I admit that I often put tags at the current stage before trying anything advanced in order to find the last known good state easier.

Undoing a wrong push involves so many corner cases that it would be hard to implement. Where I work we are using gerrit and the default project setup doesn't allow direct pushes. Than it's only abandoning a change.

When I started working with git I came from Perforce and CVS. I had the complete wrong mental model in my head because of this which got me trouble understanding why things where not working as expected especially when pushing to remote.

No. If your going to targrt political stratas, don't be narrow sighted.

The BLM and Antifa riots of "Defund the police" is exactly about the same concern, and supporters caused widespread violence to prove that point. There's a different reason, but many prominent Democrats urged those protests on, making it more broad than just some leftists commies.

The major difference is that BLM/antifa targeted local police with a national organization and got their way in many places, whereas conservatives are weary of the federal government are just some disorganized people that become easily targeted by the feds.

I imagine auditing for security, and managing dependency upgrades, must both be onerously expensive time sinks?

Modern devs don't care. They just install whatever, let it pull in 1000s of other packages, and continue on their merry way.

Meanwhile, a package you use today, can root your stuff tomorrow. That is, next update and bam!
Package was sold to Evil Entity, or just the dev decides to rm your drive based upon geo location.

I get paid a lot to cleanup much of this mess, and while tools such as composer and node.js are useful, they are a horrible, horrible security risks.

If you use node or composer, be prepared for dozens of updates weekly. Each update risk laden, and feature and security fixes all mashed into one.

On a large project, you'd need multiple devs, just to audit all the change.

But as you will soon see, there will be all sorts of $reasons given, which all lack understanding of how traditional Linux distros handle updates, and boil down to "not my problem" or "someome else magically makes it safe!"
How about the fact that 99.999% of all services and products ever created were created by people working in person together?

Yes, but if you want to repair a C64 with a broken SID or build a C64 from scratch, it's a decent replacement part even though it's on-chip emulation and not exactly the same sound as a real SID chip.

(Besides, even real SID chips are different from each other.)
This simply is not true. One of the reasons TikTok is so addictive is because of the high signal to noise ratio in favor of signal. People talk about the quality of their algorithm all the time. The first day or two is naturally not as good as you are just getting a bunch of highly random content because it literally knows nothing about your tastes. But it’s literally the flick of a finger to move onto the next video and a tap of a heart to let it know you found something you like.

I can now get pretty much 80% videos from creators I enjoy and the variety of that content is amazing. Funny rap, followed by serious rap, followed by a professional chef critiquing the creation of a dish, followed by a SNL skit, followed by a Ryan Reynolds skit and on and on.
It's a good point. Having just read the terms of service, it is completely unclear that GitHub could monetise your code by training ML models on it.

They can analyse it. They say they can't sell it or distribute it outside the service. Even though this can apparently happen with copilot sometimes!

Less confusing than undo/redo on Emacs. Wanna redo? Just undo your undo after breaking your undo sequence. You broke your undo sequence and want to resume undoing but not redo? Just `M-x undo-only`. What if then only the reverse and just want to redo? Just `Mx undo-redo`. Also keep in mind that if you have some region selected undo only applies to the region rather the file. Unless you use C-/ which always operates on the buffer.

It's without doubt powerful. But hell it's confusing.

The discussion on race conditions at the end is an important one, and IMO the bugfix is a bandage at best: the notion of anything accessing the “current” object after any kind of delay, especially in an event handler, when there is any chance the thing is not a singleton, is a recipe for disaster. In this case, dismissing the “current” security code screen was a supported API surface and that should set off all the red flags.

Of course it’s annoying to have to track the identity of “our screen” and bind that identity to event handlers, or make it accessible with context etc. But it’s necessary in anything remotely security-adjacent.

(And never assume anything is a singleton unless you add a breadcrumb comment for someone who might change that assumption on a different team!)
I kinda hear what you're saying, but if it's reimplementing existing business logic you can spend less brain power on solving a business problem and more on a technology problem.

I don't believe there's a 1:1 straight translation from (in this case) Ruby to Go without a lot of extra work in the form of re-evaluating features, flows, performance, etc; the problem they solved wasn't the business feature, and a programming language should never be a problem.

I got an email from the Russian Gov for mirroring Telegram channels in a website
I got an e-mail from the Russian Government for publishing Telegram channels in a website

On 8/11/2022 we received emails from the Roskomnadzor intimating us to remove a link to a Telegram channel from our website. Referring to the Federal Law of 28 December 2012 No.272-FZ "On Sanctions for Individuals Violating Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms of the Citizens of the Russian Federation".

We immediately verified the veracity of the e-mails, both of which came from a government domain.

The type of violation associated with the webpage was as follows: "contains appeals to mass riots, extremist activities, participating in mass (public) events held in violation of the established order unreliable socially significant information disseminated under the resemblance of reliable messages, which creates a threat of harming life and (or) the health of citizens, property, as well as the threat of mass public disorder of the threat to sabotage livelihood facilities, transport or social infrastructure, credit institutions, energy facilities, industry or communications; information materials of foreign or international non-governmental organisations whose activities were considered to be undesirable in the territory of the Russian Federation"

The Telegram channel in question merely publishes news about the progress of the war in Ukraine, as an independent media outlet operating on Ukrainian territory.

We therefore did not comply with the request, which was also forwarded to our CDN provider Cloudflare. We were given a simple ultimatum by Roskomnadzor: within 24 hours, we were to remove the page from their website.

Our servers are in Europe and we comply with European laws. Our democratic principles and values protect freedom of expression and we also guarantee access to information for Russian citizens who want to know the real state of the war in Ukraine.

The European Commission has already condemned this censorship operation by Moscow. The Russian government implements an ISP blocklist of all independent media and forces journalists to flee the country.

The Roskomnadzor actually blocked our site within the Russian Federation via ISP after 24 hours. Our service TelegramDB.org makes the groups available on Telegram more findable on Google by indexing them.

Fortunately, however, we continue to receive visits from Russian citizens who want to inform themselves by circumventing the blocks imposed. Telegram is currently not blocked in Russia and is one of the most used information channels by Russian citizens to inform themselves about the real state of the war in Ukraine.

We will continue to work on improving our service, ensuring access to useful information on Telegram for as many people around the world as possible.

We wanted to inform you of this event, which surprised us, but not worried as we live in democratic countries.

Thank you for your attention and Slava Ukraïni!

Current FAANG employee here -- how I wish this were true.
Hollywood will have to reinvent itself or will become marginal. Actors will be licensing their 3d models and do voice-overs in the beginning (after that even voice will be transferable), but gradually it will be more influencers/celebrities.

Imagine if "AI" would generate beautiful movie/tv show from reading given book series, with maybe minimal edits required to keep pace as expected, probably several versions with various trims for die hard fans as much as casual viewers.

No fan complaints about twisting original book into mess. Imagine things like Wheel of time, Malazan book of the fallen or Hyperion cantos done exactly as you read them, no 'creative' invented crap that somebody felt urge should be added just to increase views.

This all will be for old schoolers like us. What young will be doing on next generation of tiktok is anybody's guess.

Another example would be properly self-adjusting and generating games tailored to individuals, virtual world reacting to actions, be it singleplayer or mmo.
>Hopefully breaking the link between people's labour and their worth as a human

Look at how people who are Nth generation welfare recipients and Nth generation trust fund babies turn out (as people, not in terms of wealth). People just find other ways to dick measure. You could fill a library with all the dumb stuff victorian royalty did to keep score amongst each other.

And you can see impressions of this kind of human behavior among all sorts of groups who work minimally and are mostly provided for by others.

(Inb4 some jerk looking for a few quick virtue points straw-mans me) I'm not saying work is the meaning or life or anything like that but people not having to work for their basic needs (which is always a relative target) isn't some harmonious utopia.
> As a consequence, I expect people to come back to localilty, be it associations, sports clubs or neighborhood related, because that will be the only place where they will be able to experience humanity.

I see the opposite. My expectation will be that computation will be cheap enough for the average people to create their own "local" AIs that, once tailored to their master's expectations and tastes, emulate human interactions and engage with other community "members" (in reality other AIs) in the same way that you and I are interacting. These AIs will act as avatars and give answers that optimize for personality and desired response. They do so independently and with little external input. We'll just have AIs talking to other AIs on our behalf just like that Twitch experiment where two Google Home devices endlessly talk to each other.

The few cases where humans interact will, like dialing 911, only be done on an emergency basis, .

In my interactions with beginners, adding more tools has never helped them learn faster. That goes for linters, autoformatters, debuggers, and version control.

Manual formatting and printf debugging goes a long way, and takes only foundational understanding of the problem, not the manual for another tool.
