I'm less shocked by this than I thought I would be. Chapek was a weird choice to begin with, and the way Iger transitioned out was very unlike him. I've always suspected there was a reason for it we never heard about. My personal theory has been he was trying to broker a merger between Apple and Disney the last couple years, but COVID and Chapek's management made that a bad deal.

I have absolutely no desire to hack my own tools. Hacking my own tools doesn’t put any money in my pocket nor is that what I have ever been hired for.
Large companies build up armies of folks to stop SWEs from doing this. It’s literally what auditing, compliance, etc. do.

Because short term optimizations teams do to get things out almost always cause larger (global) risks, from everything from new attack surfaces to yet-another-copy-of-user-data that now can get leaked because it isn’t actually protected the way it is supposed to be.

Near as I can tell from stories, Twitter was already maxing out the auditing and compliance bypassing to get things done, so yikes on the long term fallout here.
Thanks for your comment. co-founder of Openblocks here.

To provide some background info, there are 19 files containing code from Appsmith currently, all of them are about data source integration and have been added the corresponding apache license text.

I'm a super fan of open-source software. Nowadays no software can be built without the dependency on open-source projects.
Openblocks have a direct dependency on dozens of open source projects, I'm grateful to all of them and I don't think using them harms the reputation of open source, instead, this is what makes OSS prosperous.

I was an Appsmith user and the project helped me a lot on building tools, I really appreciate that you maintain such a great project. But building web apps has a big scope, I don't think the story ends here. One of the things that makes Retool/Appsmith stand out is their developer-friendly nature, but there are also many limitations compared to developer-first frameworks like React/Vue. We start a new project because there are so many potentials and possibilities that need to be explored.

Speaking of shared libraries, I think it's a fantastic idea. It will be amazing if we can maintain a common data source/integration library together. There are so many platforms out there that need integration features.
Though, finding the right abstraction for integration is a little tricky. We are working on an protocol and will provide all the integration source codes of Openblocks with a more permissive license. Hopefully, other platforms can benefit from it and be able to spend more time on innovation instead of repetitive work.
It's a good opportunity to right the wrongs and double down on the good stuff. In case of FTX, there are SBF, misters Wong and Singh.

IDE's native tooling makes you more productive because you set it up and never interact with it. If you need to manually do stuff, or do it all the time, you can slap it behind a keybinding. My cmd+F6 to do everything that needs to be done to get the iOS app built and debugging inside a simulator is obviously going to be more productive than having to jump into the terminal every time. Ditto for the run configuration (also cmd+F6 in a different project) that spins up docker and all that blah blah to get the API server running.

This is what I'm talking about, for what it's worth, a programmer doesn't immediately see the utility in the tool and doesn't use it, and that's the story for 99% of the things an IDE does. It's always faster to do it yourself once, or twice, especially considering setup time and learning curve, so people don't make use of the tools. I see people using grep instead of their IDE search because they cbf to figure out how to do it in the IDE!

It's like we're carpenters who hate power tools.

I think the whole industry has degenerated to producing uninspiring grub. No wonder they have mastered it. Everything coming out of the company is CGI+emotional response maximization with little new themes.
They should revert to making things that don’t scale, hire screenwriters with original ideas that are difficult to translate to movies, etc.

A friend of mine regularly compares Quentin Tarantino’s early movies to today’s mass produced boredom. Calling it MBA filmmaking. It reminds me of an industry running on Amazon’s recommendation engine, only making derivatives of existing successes.
The Scala ABI is the constant change that broke me. Oh, you want to use 2.13 but your dependency only ships for 2.11 and 2.12? You're happy with 2.11, but your dependency now only ships bugfixes in the 2.12/2.13 libs? Hmm.

Java's ABI is far more stable.
I don't think so. People who think there was an insurrection and Trump was behind it are not going to be swayed and believe Trump must be imprisoned if not for that then something else. Those who think it's a political witch hunt with about as much credibility of the Trump colluding with Putin to hack the election story won't be either, they'll only ever see it as evidence of political persecution.

If anything I would say it's slightly more annoying for the insurrection conspiracy theorists to deal with because any time someone brings up those tweets they'll have to explain that when you connect all the dots it actually means Trump was behind it, and by that stage you've already lost the attention of most readers.

One of the nonprofits I helped suffered something similar. Tens of $10 charges, most of which were disputed, refunded, and charged a chargebacked feed pretty much erased all funds raised within the month. I trusted Stripe more, but now I believe they are no different thatn Authorize.net, maybe even a bit worse. Anybody can be got on any website using Stripe and test a credit card. A chargeback has a different meaning and that's why it's penalized and I believe Stripe are abusing the system and wrongly charging merchants a chargeback fee. In our case, we're using the most popular WordPress donation plugin - it's not like we've coded this ourselves or that our system was breached - somebody just went to a donation form and tested stolen credit cards with $10 - that's all! And we have to pay $15 for each of those attempts, which Stripe didn't stop! How is this exactly our fault?!

That's what many of madoff's victims believed about madoff!

One way that conmen pull off their stunts is by convincing the marks that they're doing something shady.

A con always has to answer the questions: Where is the windfall coming from? Why isn't someone else taking it first, and Why would the conman share it?

"The money really comes from front-running trades, other people can't take the windfall because I run the trade routing, to make the profit I need to have a huge fund to hide the activity in."

All the better if the explanation is spread among the marks via rumor-- then the con never has to answer an tough questions.

Similar patterns exist in other scams. E.g. early bitcoin ponzi operator pirate40 had some people thinking that he was laundering money for dark web drug markets.

I'd be interested in knowing if there were similar explanatory rumors about FTX/SBF.

IPFS has `nocopy` option for quite some time now, which avoids copying.

> And of course if you're doing this, you're expecting other people to mirror this stuff, so count on hundreds of terabytes of traffic.

Of course you are expecting other people to mirror this stuff, and naturally that will generate some traffic. How is this not a problem with web mirrors or torrents?
I don't have a problem with environmentalism, and I'm not trolling. I'm an environmentalist myself.

I think its reasonable to point out that the environmental movement has fought the best chance they've had the past few decades to end the reliance on fossil fuels and has accomplished very little of their stated goals or what you'd expect them to hope to accomplish. The goal isn't to fight, at least not if you're serious about what you claim to care about.
Simple. I told my parents if they buy either a Windows computer or an Android device, I couldn’t and wouldn’t help them (yes they can afford Apple devices). During the height of Covid, my dad had emergency surgery and I didn’t want to go see him when he was already weak (he’s better now). I sent them an iPad because it was much easier to use with FaceTime than figure out which badly integrated video calling solution that Google was pushing this week.
Personally, I've given up and dropped out. What's the point when the best available to me is less than $15 an hour without any opportunity to advance?
There are studies[0] indicating that PG/VG as vapor cause damage & inflammation to the lungs, independently of nicotine. The FDA's statement of GRAS mainly applies to PG used as a food additive, not necessarily it being inhaled as vapor. So, seems like potential damage from long term use, not necessarily on the scale of smoke but not necessarily great for you either.

"Seriously?" - sorry, but Siri does not understand the word "ously".

[ "Siri - ously" ]

Bad pun, I know. :-)
Incidentally, "Hey Boo-boo" a la Yogi Bear also works on Google Home.
My reading is that the very fact that it's so abstract and general is itself the point. What could the cult be? Politics? Religion? A particular professional mindset or focus? Many could fit. Apart from the reference to "promise of godly exaltation or gift in a theoretical afterlife" (which nod towards religion), you could apply a lot of this to many social groups.
Another way of saying we are all a great distance from absolute truth about the world. Which my cult says is absolute nonsense. Some cults are better than others
Since the swisstable is available in C++ and C, everybody can trivially use it.

This isn't effective because a lot of people talk with their facial expressions as much as their voice. I focusing requires this much effort for you you should consider getting help.

I hope not, my daughters name just happens to have syllables similar but not the same as “siri” in her name and calling her name sets it off ALL THE TIME.
Isn't this experiment a bit bogus? Extrapolating a terminal emulator's behavior to represent a machine's latency /in general/... what if the terminal emulator just sucks? Dan Luu is of course aware of this but he's willing to swallow it as noise:

> Computer results were taken using the “default” terminal for the system (e.g., powershell on windows, lxterminal on lubuntu), which could easily cause 20 ms to 30 ms difference between a fast terminal and a slow terminal.

If that was the only source of noise in the measurements then ok, maybe, but compounded with other stuff? For example, I was thinking: the more time passes, the further we drift from the command-line being the primary interface through which we interact with our computer. So naturally older computers would take more care in optimizing their terminal emulator to work well, as it's the face of the computer, right? Somebody's anecdote about PowerShell performance in this thread makes me feel more comfortable assuming that maybe modern vendors don't care so much about terminal latency.

Using the "default browser" as the metric for mobile devices worries me even more...

I like Dan Luu and I SupportThismessage™ but I feel funny trying to take anything away from this post...
Right, same as the saying “you can control expenses but you cannot control revenue”, as the logic to cut expenses; if applied recursively you end up with $0 expenses…and and $0 revenue.

I would have difficulty relating with anyone if all I cared about was race but hey you do you. It's only considered racism if a white person does it right? Imagine someone like me moving to a place like India, and one of the top pros I could say about it was "you know what, there are a decent amount of other white people here." It would very likely not go over well.

I work at Stripe. Could you email me at edwin@stripe.com and we can look into what went wrong here? (If a fraudster hits your account with card testing, we'd refund just the fraudulent test payments and your account status wouldn't be affected.) Additionally, do you have rate limiting or CAPTCHA in place? Either of those would mitigate further card testing. https://stripe.com/docs/disputes/prevention/card-testing
Pretty much everybody deeply involved in the crypto space, especially old timers, suspected something was off and stayed away. There are lots of examples of people deep in crypto sounding an alarm before it all went belly up. When the most crazy shenanigans started in June (fraudulently modifying customer orders to cover FTX’s own losses), there were calls for people to pull their money out.

The thing is though, mainstream media kept publishing fluff pieces.
Payment processors saw the writing on the wall. The reason they did what they did and PH made a 180 and disposed of incriminating content all in one month is because justice system has teeth and they did not want to find themselves liable.

And justice system has teeth because PH is a proper company participating in a financial system. Good luck stopping a criminal in another country profiting from crime by accepting bitcoin

That's a generalisation and I don't think it works. Many companies run a lean engineering team that makes sense for their product. Twitter didn't and I really truly don't believe they needed as many as they had to work on their product. I know, from talking to someone who left just before the buy out that they just had too many people working on too many things that never even saw the light of day.

Hire to work on your core product and for specific purpose. Don't let managers hire willy nilly to grow their fiefdom.

Don't be so hard on the mainframes. They're absolutely fantastic and they're one main job in life, executing transactions. And you can run the same binary, unmodified, from the original 1960's system 360 on today's Z series. That's what business love. Don't lose my money and don't make me re-write it. And while some Z series are running Linux, they're really there to run Z/OS, CICS, and those transaction workloads. You could move those workloads to Linux but you'd have to recompile them, but also re-create the entire DB2, CICS, VSAM, MQ infra on Linux. That's a great way to light piles of money on fire. And re-writing those programs in other languages can work, but is often a great way to light much larger piles of money on fire. And mainframes do have cool tricks up their sleeves like LPARS, and Sysplexes, and so on. But your comment wasn't really about the beauty that is the modern mainframe. But yes, the original 8086 was meant to look not unfamiliar to mainframe assembly (at some level).

I actually think they're talking about packing general compute cores into a super computer that would be better off having RTL specific to the task. Like AVX 512 (which Intel seems to be moving away from while AMD is embracing?). But that's kind of an early 2000's view of super computers. They have been packing accelerators on them (notably graphics cards) to crank up the teraflops. Whether or not those were effectively exploited, or they actually got the performance, I don't know. In my work I've seen fewer customers head that way, but that's not the pool I swim in. Some machines added FPGAs to the mix. We use them on our custom network cards so we do more of the packet processing outside the kernel. But maybe the weather super-computer should have some RTL for Navier - Stokes (?) that's what I think the weather people use? Or maybe make a custom silicon just for super-computing with a whole bunch of AVX512 units? Or maybe a lot more on-chip separate instruction cache? Might not be useful for CoD or Java but awesome for SC. But I do agree with you their characterization of modern super computers is a little dated.

I don’t think it has a point in that sense? Perhaps I’m lacking critical reading skills but this seems more like creative writing than social commentary.

Your response to all the other comments is very on point though. Cults are real, and I think this story repeatedly interacts with some very scary aspects of real cults - aspects not found in an Agile coach or middle manager, in my uninformed opinion.
Silly question: if the "second coming" is a risk, then could bitcoin itself be amended to deem sufficiently old wallets no longer valid?
