Each one-job Unix program has to do about four things:

1. parse command line arguments

2. parse an input format

3. do its one job

4. format output

Two or three out of these are superfluous and could be shared with a larger program if it were just a function in it.

For instance, regarding (1) if the program just has a "dry run -n" and "verbose debugging -v" flag, and it becomes a function in the larger program which already has those flags, all the function has to do is refer to the configuration.

Regarding (2), the function probably has access to some data structure constructed by the larger program rather than raw text.

Regarding (4), the function may be able to put out a data structure for whose type the larger program already has an output format.

Unix itself showed that the one-program-for-one-task is a weak idea when Awk was developed: a programmable utility that allows a single program running in one process to avoid using numerous Unix tools.

Solaria can be very good. There's a song, Dawn by Circus-P, that I've used on a few occasions to startle people with its apparent authenticity. It exhibits an unnatural range, but there are only a couple of moments (unfortunately, near the start) where the pronunciation sounds clearly artificial if you know what you're listening for.
Ah, with the previous comment and its diction I thought you were doing to start advocating for the great firewall outright as a means of internet protectionism.
> Security reports from proper pentesters tend to include easy to reproduce steps and if you can't reproduce it yourself from that, you can ask them to expand, since it's in their interest for you to be able to understand them, since that's how they get paid.

Fair point, but it's also in their interest to overestimate the impact of the bug they found. And, even if the reports are well written, many reports that I've seen (mostly from new gray hats) were not actually exploitable, even with aggressive poc code.
I know most studies show remote work improves productivity. I have the opposite experience even though I need to take one hour to commute one way. Our office is 80% empty on average. I think this has greatly hurt the interaction between people, increased friction and slowed down project progress. I am sure some people are more efficient at home, but there might be a silent majority, who enjoy doing less work remotely and never voice themselves (or even say the opposite).
If you look at the wiki on the UNIX philosophy it does say "Store data in flat text files" and "Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface."

You can do a surprising amount with flat files. For decades HP / HPE has been using flat files for Serviceguard / SGLX which is a high-availability cluster software that gets used in some very large Enterprise environments.
>Is there any data that suggests retail options traders should not even attempt to be clairvoyant

The market makers and other participants are not playing the same game, but they are playing in the same market; and that is ultimately zero-sum. If the market makers are making money on your transaction costs, and they're profitable (which they are) then there's already some signal there, surely?

This is correct. For example, when I connect my iPhone to my provided work wi-fi, and I get a Tinder notification. I can partially see the message on the lock screen (once Face ID authenticates), but as Tinder is blocked on the wi-fi if I want to read and respond in the app I have to pop to cellular.

You've clearly and concisely stated what I've been struggling to verbalize for several years now: that heated emotional flamewars aren't discouraged/forbidden on HN because emotion is bad (which is a strawman often brought up), but because HN is not the place for that, because we optimize for intellectual curiosity.

Just like programming languages - HN is neither the only forum in existence, nor does it need to serve the needs of every human in existence.
> Then I found I preferred it over Pepsi.

You "found" that either because of advertising, or because you were primed to like Coke more because of your childhood experience.

And the reason McDonald's only sold Coke? Advertising, of course. McDonald's believed they were better off selling Coke over Pepsi.

Advertising is everywhere. I try to avoid advertising as much as possible (adblockers, never watching ad-supported TV or movies, etc.) because I know how pervasive ads are, and how insidiously emotionally manipulative they can be. I know I can't make myself immune to their effects, so the best I can do is just avoid them as much as I can.
SBF committed $200M to Sequoia Capital funds while Sequoia put $214M into FTX
"Among Wall Street’s financial elite, SBF’s Bitcoin arb is mentioned in the same hushed tones as Paul Tudor Jones’s 1987 shorting of the entire American economy, or George Soros’s 1992 raid on the Bank of England, or John Paulson’s 2008 bet against subprime mortgages. Alameda’s capture of the kimchi premium (and other trades like it) gave SBF the grubstake he needed for his next move: founding the crypto exchange FTX—a company that may very well end up creating the dominant all-in-one financial super-app of the future."

Hm I guess it depends on use cases, and machine configurations. I encounter many, many bugs. Off the top of my head:

- On reboot, sometimes the Menu Bar fails to load entirely, and I have to keep rebooting until it appears.

- WindowServer process memory leaks that require a reboot to fix.

- Finder steals focus from other apps. For instance, when I cmd-tab to quick switch between Mail and Notes, Finder will insert itself into the quick switch stack and replace the last focused app.

- Finder drag and drop randomly stops working.

- Spotlight fails to find files in normal directories, so I have to drop into Terminal to find them.

- Terminal sometimes loses input focus for no discernible reason.

- Calendar notifications either don’t show up at all, or dismiss themselves automatically, or the snooze action dismisses them and they never return.

- Safari page content crashes when the I resize the browser window. No discernible pattern for what causes this.

Death by one thousand paper cuts. The list just keeps going.

Sure, but a lot of people use other people's DNS services. The number of times I've been allowed to build a DNS service for my employer is zero. I've used static DNS, where you just put in your X number of A records and hope; dynamic services where you put in X and have them serve only Y of them in any request and hope. I've used services with load feedback, but those are always a much higher tier.

It doesn't "lean more" towards civil law, it is a civil law legal system. Nevertheless, precedent ("jurisprudence") is still part of the legal framework.

The cour de cassation, the highest court of appeals, has rendered a judgement about something which is ambiguous in the law. This is a judgment about a particular case in a particular situation, and judges are explicitly forbidden from writing anything in their judgment that would look like a general statement. Lower courts are independent and can render different judgments in similar cases if they interpret the law and the situation presented to them differently. So why does it matter that the cour de cassation created this precedent? Well, it's the highest court of appeal. Any lower court who judges differently sees clearly the "risk" that their judgment is appealed, passed on to the cour de cassation, overturned, and needed to be judged again. We have professional judges in France, and they recognize there is little point in wasting the State's resources on such things without good reason.

But because we are in a civil law country, it is quite likely that the existing law will be clarified and supplant the precedent. In a civil law country, precedent is always subordinate to codified law.

Isn't machine code also microarchitecture agnostic? I thought that the definition of a microarchitecture was a particular implementation of an ISA that externally conformed to the ISA in the same way as any other microarchitecture.
It's available (usually as an optional feature) in lots of languages where dependencies are linked statically. The most standard terminology I'm aware of for it is "dead code elimination"

In Javascript, webpack (as well as other module bundlers) supports it, though they call their dead code elimination mechanism "tree shaking".
>Like who wants to be on the other side of a Jane Street transaction? Absolutely fucking nobody. If you're talking about "mispricings" during the "housing crisis," my dude, nobody wanted to sell their house to these dumb fucks! They were going to starve, they had no choice! How does that not seem like a scam of some sort to you? That's not honest money!

This comment makes me think you don't have the slightest idea of how the financial sector works, how Warren Buffet makes money, what happened in 07-08 or how Michael Burry made money during the crisis.

>If the Mercers were good people, would they be Republicans? No dude. C'mon, use common sense. Don't get hung up on "normal sense." Use common sense.

This comment makes me think you are just a troll.

>But the Jane Street people: No dude. Not Warren Buffet, not Burry, none of those vultures.

This is just ignorant. If Warren Buffet looks at Coca-Cola and thinks hey this stock is under-priced and will be worth more in the next decade and makes 10B off it there's no scam involved. Michael Burry evidently read through hundreds of Mortgage Backed Securities and saw that the underlying assets were more risky then they were priced at and made a killing betting against them. No scam. I'm not privy to what Jane Street's techniques are but it's most likely some ML driven search for alpha but again nothing screams scam. They aren't taking retail investor money, you couldn't invest with them even if you wanted to. Where's the scam?

All of your posts reek of paranoid delusions frankly.
Been running Docker under WSL for a few years. Don't need systemd if you're either happy to start it manually with an alias or poke it into one of your profile/logon scripts.

The experience is light-years ahead of the monstrosity that is Docker Desktop
Cannot disagree in concept, but the reality and logistics of doing that can get complicated. Going back a few versions, there were issues with the installation and also online license activation which I was always able to resolve without changing anything at my end, but it was considerable time on my part so really do not want to deal with that for free. Not to mention I would have to spend additional time reading the support logs to refresh my mind how I did it. Also, it is a .NET 2.0 program and I had to help a few customers that had not enabled .NET 2 when they installed Windows 10, so that could be yet another support issue to handle.

Same rule, he explicitly stated remote work is allowed if approved (by him).
What are you using arrive at this opinion? What creativity existed in a measurable way before 2020 and what does that metric look like now? Who is less creative in this environment and in what ways are they less creative? What amount of creativity is necessary for a business to operate successfully or solve meaningful problems?

Not all problems require new or genuinely creative solutions either. And it seems really difficult to try and measure the creative output by individual contributors at any given company. You have no way of gleaning the micro decisions or solutions that people come up with for their internal issues. So this doesn't seem like one could "easily argue" this point at all, in fact it seems quite difficult.

Are you suggesting that product offerings are less creative as a whole? And if so, again what metric are you using to arrive at this conclusion? And are there really no trends of this same metric before 2020?
Ah yes, inflation is just fine if you exclude housing, energy and food, the 3 things sustaining everybody's life.

That's not the gotcha you think it is.
The cour de cassation does judge specific cases. They don't make the law and lower courts are not bound to their precedent. I wrote a more complete explanation in a sibling comment.
Yeah but if they want to do anything more than struggle to fight fires 24/7 they need at least average people, and management that trusts them, and buy in for the work needed to make a robust system.
Sure but I've witnessed poor engineering from trying to keep app size down.

A great example is 'make that feature entirely as a WebView to our site so we don't increase app size'.
It looks awesome! I have a clarification question on this one:

> Using the SDK, your program prepares API requests describing pipelines to run, then sends them to the engine. The wire protocol used to communicate with the engine is private and not yet documented, but this will change in the future. For now, the SDK is the only documented API available to your program.

Does it mean the sdk is making a round trip to the dagger API remotely somewhere, or is the round trip to a locally running docker container?
Exchanges are legally obligated to provide the best possible buy/sell quotes to people, so this is not gonna work.

For illustration purposes, imagine you own shares of a ticker that trades around $150/share, with a bid-ask gap of $1. So the lowest sell order is sitting at $150.50, and the highest buy order is sitting at $149.50.

Now, imagine you queue in your way out limit sell order at $200, and then some unsophisticated trader submits their limit buy order at $201. Your limit sell won't trigger, until the entire queue of sell orders sorted by increasing prices (starting at $150.50) gets filled first. If that unsophisticated trader wanted just one share, they will get that one share at $150.50.

The whole idea of a limit buy order at $201 is that it will execute at the cheapest available price, as long as it is below $201. Similarly with limit sell orders, your $200 limit sell will execute only at the edge of bid-ask gap price, as long as the cheapest available ask is at $200 and meets the bid at that number. Until that moment, for every buyer, the queue will be processing all the cheaper ask prices first, until it chews through all of them (which would pump the stock enough to reach your limit sell price).
I think there's so much innovation ahead with HCI. We've pushed the boundaries of what can be done with touchscreens, and I'm excited to see a pragmatic reincorporation of physical buttons, wheels, sliders, etc.

Touchscreens are great for developers but often terrible for users.
> other formats, like HTML and SVG, are not.

You can mandate them to be if you are building something that uses them. If you don't have control, than its up to someone else to decide, and people wanted to be able to link remote resources.
No, see Molly White's blog and the WSJ parent article. What seems to have happened is that 1) FTX.intl loaned money to Alameda Research in the US in exchange for some token, 2) Alameda Research, which is a crypto trading firm, speculated with that money and lost, 3) the collateral from Alameda to FTX turned out to have little value, and so 4) FTX.intl goes down. Bear in mind that Mr. Bankman-Fried heads all three organizations.

Whether FTX.us is also involved is not yet clear. But it will be. The SEC and CFTC are descending, with hard questions.

Molly White: "This suggests to me that a) they are in a really bad spot, and b) they want as few people sniffing around in their books as possible." Right. That was probably the real goal of a merger with Binance. In bankruptcy, all the dirty laundry comes out. Being acquired by Binance offered hope of keeping any criminal activity hidden. That hope is now gone.
