i sometimes go to my local library (in a big European city). The computer science section has a lot of "for Dummies" books or titles that are very specific to a certain language version or framework (java 6, Symfony 3). Most of those can go straight to the trash. The many timeless books that exist are far and few between.

I feel like most counter arguments generally fall into the category of X is okay because Y is worse. I find myself more and more stating that the two points are not mutually exclusive and that they can overlap. Both can be bad.

I make this point while recognizing that I agree national security has acceptable carbon footprint costs, while at the same time not liking arguments in support of that cost based not the premise that other policies are worse.

The most important reason for code review is not to fix the code but rather to transfer knowledge between developers. I've learned a lot of techniques for writing better code from suggestions from my code reviewers, and from reviewing other people's code.

Without code review, when will a junior developer ever learn anything from a senior developer?

Right, examples like yours are where it gets interesting. What I think can work is minimizing who needs to be involved in these kind of activities (not to say as few as possible, but only those its relevant too), and looking at how important they are to the desired outcomes, basically understanding how much time they take up vs what the return on the time is. All easier said than done of course.
MacBooks are the most basic form of a laptop. If you remove huge screen bezels, get rid of the cheap plastic case, unnecessary buttons, don’t add a bunch of stickers and logos everywhere, every laptop would look like a MacBook.

That would mean they would be responsible for the damage they caused, which includes years lost income (ie. a LOT of money). So no, they bear no blame.

> Intel/AMD chips are bad and not getting that much better (this one is true, but missed the mark entirely because of Apple silicon throwing a curve ball)

Define "bad". I'm on a 2019 MB Pro with an i9 with 32G of ram. I pretty much never have browser performance issues that bother me. I have Chrome open with 2 windows and a total of 39 tabs, plus some other apps that people always like to bitch about resource-wise (Slack, VSCode). Granted I'm not a designer so I don't have what would be some of the most resource-hungry apps like Figma, but if there is one group of people who I've always seen spend a shitload on their desktops/laptops it's designers.

I think Mighty was always a weird project that pretty much only solved a problem for people that would never be willing to pay for it.
It's not that hard. The US has an extradition treaty. Now, Bahamanian charges may take precedence, but that could just mean getting extradited to the US as he is being released from a Bahamanian prison.

It is possible to fight extradition under a few theories, but I don't see how they apply here.

I use Arc and it deals with the memory issue differently. Only your pinned tabs are kept, the rest disappear over time. I like that functionality. Overall, I'm enjoying using it.
memory-mapped IO is available from a ton of languages, and in C you still have to use an "FFI" as part of this to actually establish the memory map.

Using only the C language, you cannot make a device driver. Full stop. You must use an FFI / inline assembly to establish critical pieces of it. And if you're allowing that for C, then you necessarily need to allow that for all languages. Thus, C isn't very unique here. C's lack of anything resembling safety makes it "good" at working with things like device drivers, sure. But it's not actually that unique of a property, shared by quite a number of AOT'd languages. C++, Rust, Go, D, Zig, etc... heck, even Haskell ( https://tommd.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/kernel-modules-in-has... all can be used in this role.

C's prevalence in the kernel space is arguably more to do with legacy & inertia than actually being a good fit for it. See for example all the undefined behavior suddenly making kernel devs scream and wail endlessly.
"...does not gives you any social signals lower experienced engineers can use to discern quality or correctness" is very astute.

Interesting concept! A couple quick things I noticed trying to use the site.

First, you can't view product details without paying for a subscription. I wanted to look at the t-shirt to see basic details like sizes available, product measurements, material, and country of origin. I made an account but that still requires paying $70 before I can actually see product details. That's a tough pill to swallow for something I might not want to buy.

Next, there's not a return policy specified anywhere (maybe if you have a membership?). For online clothing stores, I tend to expect that returns are included, but the price-point here would make me more cautious. Does the membership pay for my returns?

Finally, the products themselves seem pretty generic (I realize that's the point). But there's a difference between "we created/are using a generic pattern" and "we are reselling blanks intended for printing. Specifically, why should I buy the latter from you? And if they’re original designs that are made well and from quality materials, what actually goes into that?

In what context were they using it? I know that's what Wikipedia says, but their reference is behind a paywall. From what I can see of it, this is not how this phrase was initially used.

"Starve the Beast" seems to be a specific policy idealism with respect to Proposition 13 and the way tax revenues were being used in certain districts. It does not proscribe a particular administrative style, but rather particular property tax policies.

My main pc is a MacBook 2013 and brtfs with zstd has changed the way I use it drastically. It basically doubles its storage for common day things. Sure movies and audio and such don’t compress but everything else does. Makes it feel a tad snappier as well.
I actually meant that it's really unclear whether FTX-US or FTX-Bahamas (or other subgroups) owns any asset. That's what I meant by "which group owns what".
Saying sex is "diverse" isn't forcing the affirmation of a single view. I agree with you, there are cultural conceptions of sex that we need to consider - which increases the amount of conceptions of sex! Which single view am I enforcing? If you're against the enforcement of a single view, what would you prefer here?
I have this one on my chest and like it: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/01/28/17/012817e0a809dd786f56...
We did a similar implementation of Zstd on ScyllaDB some years back. You can see how it compared to LZ4, Snappy and Deflate.

The interesting thing in comparing compression algorithms is — "what are you optimizing for?" Compression speed? Decompression speed? Storage savings? There are Tradeoffs. Getting the most storage savings might be suboptimal with a database if it adds too much latency or hampers throughput.

Thanks! I'm not from USA, and didn't know that, but I think it's much the same in the UK: if you sign Section 5 of the Official Secrets Act, I think you bind yourself to keep ALL official information secret FOREVER. I believe UK law supposes that if it isn't forbidden, then it's allowed. So if you don't sign, then it has to be the Espionage Act, which would be much harder to prosecute.

If the Department of Justice was economically rational it would be the obvious choice to further the intellectual development of the American youth through allowing free access to books and articles. The US just continues to hurt itself.
It works both ways, too--it makes more developers aware of the others' work, what changes are being made and so forth. So it's not just expertise that gets transferred, but also the current state of the codebase.
You are right. I forgot to account for the fact combustion engines have a terrible thermal efficiency: about 20%, which gives the boat only 2 kWh per liter of diesel, meaning it was using 200 kWh daily, more in line with the electrical version.

This is exactly the statistic I was wondering about. One of the things that struck me about the original vote was that it was pretty close (~52%-48%). And the funny thing about close votes is how much power the 51st voter gets for their decision in spite of clear signalling that people don't actually know the answer.

Like, the original thing you're asking is probably not very well understood or not very consequential if about half the population is for and against it.

You can absolutely make a decision based on this, but you're asking a whole bunch of "armchair experts" their opinions, only to find out that they don't know because they don't have a good concept of the suggestion.

So the change in opinions after the fact is actually probably a lot more meaningful than the original vote was.

I've found PRs are usually a waste of time because people focus on such trivial bullshit because they're easy to find.

98% of the review comments I receive hark back to some handwavy explanation about maintainability. But never in any way that could actually cause a bug.

when I run teams my rules with PRs are if it's not a bug, and it's not against the code review guidelines leave it. It's usually not worth the back and forth unless there is a clear mentor/mentee relationship.

>China has by far the largest distant water fleet

PRC has largest absolute DWF fleet size, but per capita she's underfishing, especially relative to TW and SKR, and behind TW, SKR, JP in terms of transhipping. Ultimately PRC with relatively small EEZ due to geography is naturally going to fish in the "commons" which she's entitled to, and even then she's still extracting less than her proportionate amount relative to population vs other actors.

>The issue

The issue is:

1) international system can't get shit together to legislate against subsidies to harm their own industries, including western nations like Europe, who also fishes illegally off Africa. There's no reason for PRC make herself less competitive unless there's global agreement.

2) bluntly PRC distant fishing drama is US driven propaganda to rationalize sending US coast guards to enforce against PRC interests. Which she did as new lawfare initiative right after these conveniently timed articles seeded narrative into MSM. But curiously not against the other DWF fleets like TW, SKR, JP that also behaves poorly but are incidentally also instruments US use against PRC interests.

For reference, for PRC's DWF fleet to match other top DWF fleet's capita fishing efforts, she would have to fish 3x more to match JP, 7x more to match SKR and Spain, 30X more to match TW. Unless you think PRC fishermen and citizens shouldn't have the same opportunities or access to seafood. They're certainly getting their disprortionate share of western media hit pieces and biased US enforcement efforts.
Ah yes, humans are perfect, never make any mistakes. That's why only AI write bugs.
The Internet before the Eternal September began is worth knowing about, even worth mourning. The difference was not one of tech vs. non-technical, or of utopian vs. practical, or whatever rhetorical characterization of things best helps this author's aims. The difference was that it felt like a community one could come to know, even if and when there were strong philosophical differences between people. The influx of people made this sense of being a part of a group of real people impossible. Scale affects things.

This article misses what really happened, and tries to read what happened then through a specific, contemporary political lens — its conclusions are predictable from early on in the article, and roll out just as predicted. Those who whine about gatekeeping are generally seeking to become gatekeepers themselves; this article is not excepted from this rule.

The real problem of the Eternal September is not the noobs; the problem is that the legitimate demands of non-technical people to be able to have online access has led to the removal/deep hiding of the communication tools more technical users were building and expected to be able to use (perhaps we could call it the iOSification of everything). Example One: Google's dumbing-down of search, making it partially useful for casual users, and anti-useful for those who want to be specific, targeted, and deep in their searches. A tiered-level internet (accessible to all, but not built for the LCD) would be far preferable to what we have right now, and would help to build actual communities.
There's also the Starlabs Starfighter which is somewhat similar: https://starlabs.systems/pages/starfighter
AFAIU, you can go in both directions, though in one of the directions (I think X25519 -> Ed25519) you have to discover or choose one among equivalent keys.

I've implemented some ciphers, and many more security protocols, but I won't pretend to understand the math well enough to directly address your question. But I believe schemes sharing keys between Ed25519 and X25519 generally rest on this paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/509.pdf That paper describes the process in both directions, IIUC. See page 4,

> In this case the recipient translates the public key from edwards25519 to an X25519 public key using the map from [17]

and page 6,

> We will retrieve the two candidates for the v-coordinate from the curve equation and choose one of them uniformly at random. We then change coordinates to edwards25519 using the map in [17, 4.1]. This change of coordinates preserves addition on the curve and the basepoint of curve25519 is mapped to the basepoint on edwards255196.

See https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/advanced/ed25519-curve25519 for an actual implementation converting Ed25519 to X25519 keys. See also https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7748.html#section-4.1 (citation reference 17, above) for the mapping function(s), though it sounds like you may have already been familiar with it.

Maybe there's some nuance wrt converting public vs private key components I'm ignoring. But libsodium provides routines for converting both public and private Ed25519 keys to X25519 independently--i.e. doesn't require the private Ed25519 key to convert the public key. Because EdDSA is more common and widely deployed than X25519/X448 key exchange (or signing) schemes, Ed25519 -> X25519 is typically the direction you care about, permitting you to preserve or leverage existing public and private key management infrastructure.
I'd say local code quality is generally good but overall it's a big hodge podge of small features duct-taped together, so the whole app becomes a tangled mess. The metric driven culture tends to emphasize impact, not diffs landed.
So you're advocating for pair programming all of the time? As someone who has to do both pair programming and code reviews quite a bit this past year (mentoring some quite junior developers), I find pair programming much more mentally exhausting. Two hours of that and my mind is pretty much spent for the day.
"The frightening thing in not dying. The frightening thing is not living." -- T-Bone Burnett (from the song "Primitives")
It is up to the code handling the abilities to decide in which order to handle the abilities (or to handle them all at once).

I can't think of any cases where it would make a difference in which order they were handled, however. Can you?

I think perhaps it might in the case where abilities themselves were able to make requests of other abilities, but that's not something allowed by our type system currently
> The Uncertainty is not due to finite information. It is an inherent property!

That's what they said, though? Although I suppose it could stand to be emphasized more:

Physical quantities that have an uncertainty principle, such as position and momentum, are inherently related to each other by a Fourier transform. At a quantum-mechanical level, position is the Fourier transform of momentum, and vice versa - anything that constrains the position to a narrow interval (including but not limited to measuring it very precisely) inherently also smears momentum over a wide range of possibilities, even it was itself previously tighly constained (and, again, vice versa).
> Ofcourse there are schools where there are courses with extensive programming requirements. I am not talking about those. Those are exceptions.
