Erlang: ‘Let It Crash’ under attack
Reinventing the wheel is cancer to support. There's already Concurrent::ImmutableStruct.
But SGX is almost no better than plain text, especially when centralized.

At least solutions like Matrix give you the choice where your metadata is stored, and have never had a requirement for PII like phone numbers to worry about in the first place.
A form of self-destruction’: Japan weighs up plan to expand nuclear power
I simply cannot afford it. The price for what you get is too high. I never understood why these supposedly cool new things have to be so expensive all the time. I'm better off eating neither meat nor beyond meat or at least in lesser quantities.
Speedscope is the best.
29/30, were not there yet :)

Thanks, this was a fun and revealing experience
Reverse wireless charging and NFC or usb-c to usb-c cable
I think the most important thing is that the work stays varied enough to be interesting in the long term. If you aren't able to move to new projects you'll eventually get some combination of bored, restless, and burnt out. Then it might be time to reboot your career inside the company (if that's something they make easy to do) or you might find yourself ready to move on.
Can't home-grow a COVID vaccine, seeing at each stage how the product develops and what material/chemicals are involved.

I would also assume that the ills of inhaling burnt plant matter are more well-understood in the long-term, compared to new definition-changing RNA """vaccine""" technology. Such RNA tech only seeing wide-spread adoption thanks to overblown flu panic and "Warp-Speed" authorization.

I'll consider the incinerated plant matter, if ever I become a hypochondriac and also all the Ivermectin dissappears.
Plot twist, the OP is >800 years old.
I could totally see lifer being great at Google, especially with FIRE being an option eventually. And maybe at an unnamed other FAANG.

Some of the others seem to have had a relative ruthlessness baked into their founding DNA, and I wouldn't bet on them working out long-term. (Because leadership shapes lasting culture; and someone who's nice to you, but nasty to others, will eventually be nasty to you.) Also, for any duration at those places, I'd also need to vet whomever I'd be reporting to, for whether they'd have my back if/when daggers started flying around internally.

Another one seemed to have good founding DNA, but I know less about that one.
Concurrent::ImmutableStruct is thread-safe and tested. Dry is cute, but too new.
Looks like you need a gateway (not that expensive but too expensive to just hack with those tags at home).

I’d love to find cheap e-ink tags that can just receive a picture over some cheap wireless protocol and display it.
Change your location and observe yourself. If you feel better, that's the right direction.

I'll e-mail you with more ideas.
Maybe make it an NFT based CCG and hardcode a transaction fee of 5% to make money on the secondary market.
> Apple may be under the false impression that the competition is far behind.

I believe Apple is falling into the "arrogance" trap..

When we were kids, we used to be told the "rabbit and turtle race story" and, if you hadn't heard about it, you must have been born directly as a teenager :)

Apple is slowly playing the rabbit role, and yes, it can sleep for as long as it wants then, maybe waking some day to realize what damage the once-believed turtles have already caused to it.

Yes, the "rabbit" role is, by no means, new in tech industry.. Kodak, Blockbuster, Windows (with its epic IE) -to some extents- , were all "rabbits" at some points in the past but not any more. And, guess what? Nokia Mobile was also the big "rabbit" that was taken in no time by.. Apple!

I don't know if there is a proper term to describe this concept, but I will write it in plain English: I always tell myself, friends, and relatives that if any entity, whether it is a single person, a community, a company, or a government, is misbehaving and/or walking in an incorrect path, sooner or later it will pay a high bill in the future that is not apparent at present.
I think it varies and it depends on how you look at it and your current position. Remember 2008 and the recession? A lot of people barely noticed it, yet it was absolutely detrimental to others.
"SMS-transmitted OTPs are susceptible to a variety of attacks. One is by obtaining control of a target’s cell phone number, often by calling the cellular provider or going into a retail store of the provider and impersonating the subscriber. In 2016, the chief technology officer of the US Federal Trade Commission had her number hijacked this way. In other cases, the interception is the result of compromising the mobile account because it’s protected by a password the subscriber used on a different site that was breached. Still other interceptions are the result of exploiting decade-old weaknesses in the SS7 routing protocol that carriers around the world use to ensure their networks interoperate. OTPs are also vulnerable to phishing and social engineering attacks, as long as the attackers enter the codes quickly after obtaining them."

How does this compare to wasmtime, wasmer, etc? Why would I choose one over the other?
tell me a story about a boy who meet a unicorn.
It seems like if it’d only take 30k for you to leave then you’re underpaid for your experience or you don’t actually have it that good. I say this because when I have it good it’d take a ~30% raise to get me to leave.
Yep. There was no reason to add trivial functionality that already exists. Just something else to go wrong, support, and add bloat.
Peak: Secrets from New Science of Expertise

The book is not actually about problem solving, but about deliberate practice. It is a bit tangential, but in seen problem solving as a skill, you can see how the principles in that book apply.
A good book - however, like many books of this style, I find it somewhat repetitive too.
> It’s not convincing to just call everyone stupid. Everything is a trade off.

I wish it were less acceptable to play the "balanced" person in the middle.

If and when there is a balance point, someplace where the actual truth tends to be, imho, it's almost never in the middle.

There are reasons those frameworks (and Golang, too) tend to do things in an opinionated way.

I wish there were more strong opinions lightly/loosely/weakly/gently/another-word-ly held[1]. I think opinions too strongly held is a surer path to there than starting from a place of trying to "meet in the middle."

[1] DDG-ing the term showed a bunch of adverbs of holding! Here are a some:

why it works: https://www.nwea.org/blog/2022/strong-opinions-loosely-held-demystifying-social-emotional-learning/

someone also said something on medium: https://medium.com/@ameet/strong-opinions-weakly-held-a-framework-for-thinking-6530d417e364

It's such a silly hill to die on, too. SGX keeps breaking, their push for it remains annoying, and it's not even that great of a feature. Why are they so ardent about it?
These kinds of posts have a very high bar to provide a thoughtful comment on. I'd suggest checking lobste.rs if you're into only CS/programming stuff.
You're not even going to tell me which ones I got right?
I guess you are referring to wizer [1]? (it's the closest to snapshot restore in the WebAssembly world).
In case you are referring to that, the wizer strategy is valid for any Wasm runtime (and it will be fast once the Wasm module is snapshotted by wizer).

If you refer towards Wasm module loading times (once a module is already been precompiled), Wasmer is already one of the fastest ones.

Your experience probably counted for a lot though. 55 years old and you may just be at your mental peak - with tons of experience that comes with it. That's (for some) an ideal situation to go into consulting or starting your own company.
> Twitter is one of the last ones that allow their content to be freely shared but the char limit is a pretty significant limit and even that has popups.

I do not believe this to be the case. If not logged in, it will lock the screen and block you reading after a few entries. That's not "free".

Turn on closed-captioning, and mute the sound.
Nuke tech has gotten incredibly more safe, with fuel that is contained in inert pellets so as to avoid chain-reacrions, and other types of nuclear fuel that can turn inert.

I'm all for it! Do the research and build them safely.
I don't think offline translation kicks in automatically when you have a bad (as opposed to no) connection. You can easily verify that it can translate without any connection (both on iOS and Android) by downloading the language and putting the phone in airplane mode. (At least, the basic text translation works fine. The more advanced features, such as speech and image translation, don't.)

Also, Microsoft's Translator app can do the same (offline translation for text) and IME is about on par with Google).

I did some work on navy bridge equip entailing touchscreens.

Touch screen is susceptible to being put out of commission.

Also under heavy rolling or adverse motions, miskeying remains a serious UI issue. Automobiles should also not use touchscreen as it requires averting eyes off the road.

Dusty or moisty condition makes cleaning problematic and can render its tactile feedback inoperable.

Ribs or bump line/grid outlining buttons on touchscreen does not even help further.

Knobs and switches are kings for any ruggedized and furtive environment.
you seem pretty joyless... i guess youre broke?
Yes, but I didn't make the claim that "it's not an internet connection", because clearly it is. The vast majority of people will never care that theirs can't do server stuff, because they will never try to run one, or even know what it means. It's a perfectly fine internet connection for such folks.
Displaying to the screen and stuff was already working, you can already use Asahi Linux and have a GUI and everything, it’s just that it’s all rendered by the CPU right now

Slightly OT, but there's a great podcast about the era when these landmines were laid, In The Shadows of Utopia: https://www.shadowsofutopia.com/ The presenter takes the time to give a lot of historical context before getting into the Khmer Rouge etc. It's been a real education for me.
Tbh I think he’s talking to this specific person because he thinks she’s hot. I’m totally serious about this lol

Have you read the article? Because transmission not happening “in many if not most” is massively different from stopping transmission per se.
Hello, my probably-fellow-Iowan.

What is a lifer?
Exactly! People read "affordable location" and think it means somewhere boring and depressing, like Youngstown or Peoria. There are numerous, wonderful US cities where you can buy a respectable place for under $200,000 - they're just not on the coasts or in the sun belt. Move to West Rogers Park in Chicago and walk to the best Indian food you've ever had, or Brewer's Hill in Milwaukee and walk to a vegan brewery where all beers are $5. If you like the small-town feel, try Holland, MI or Stevens Point, WI. If the winters get you down, you can fly to Maui in January from O'Hare for $400 round-trip, or you could just wait 20 years for CO2 to do its thing.
Labyrinths [0] has selections from his best works.

If you like the stories within, their original collections are exceptional (esp. The Aleph and Ficciones).

Six-sigma! Can be applied to any situation or purpose as long as the consultants are paid.

I run one on /feed. I merely haven't linked to it, which I ought to fix!
In addition to the BBC, if you live in the US you should know that CNN repeated the line about vaccines stopping transmission (not ‘in many cases’) repeatedly. I’ll let you do the Googling since I’m busy and you’re the one arguing against what most people can recall.

Dude, that’s a whole lot of accomplishments. Super impressive.
I looked at a number of the pictures and I have no skin in this game but I'm not convinced. Many of the matches don't seem to actually be matches. One of the first for example - the lock of hair doesn't match any part of her hair and it's not crazy to think she may have brought some type of prop on a photo shoot.
I think things are starting to heat up at Google lately - with increased pip quotas and top down pressure. But it’s also the only FAANG I know with people who have been there for 8+ years. Definitely seems like it was a very comfortable, low stress place to work for a long time. I’m guessing places like Bell Labs had similar vibes, but it’s a pretty rare thing these days.

>older folk will always be at a disadvantage due to their obligations to things that isn't just the company

You're talking about kids? I would think kids require less work over time. I would think a 30-year-old employee with a 1-year-old kid would have more home obligations than a 55-year-old employee with a 26-year-old kid.
35 and with 45 one is too old to be hired in tech anymore. Eventually as a consultant through some middleman company for a year or so.
In aggregate, Airbnb pushes real estate prices upward. If we didn't have them, and the utility of dwellings was limited to its use as primary home, more people could afford housing. As it stands, the people with more money earn more money.

I didn't suggest squatting is a solution. You punched your own straw man.
Infectiousness is slightly different to peak viral load or the decay rate of viral load, and also includes symptoms, and has been tested independently of those.

There was a paper going around not too long ago whose headline result showed there was only a mild decrease in infectiousness, something like 24% immediately after vaccination, which some thought was a gotcha all by itself but (a) that is certainly better than nothing, and (b) it was based on prisoners who shared a cell, so a fairly extreme case of proximity and duration anyway.
You're making an apple-to-oranges comparison between TEEs and SGX. The attacks on SGX here are on the processor/model of SGX itself. Buffer overflows are bugs in the applets that run inside the TEE. SGX applications can and do have similar bugs. Here's a random paper I found, there are many more: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.06657.pdf
This is a full system simulator with an emulated RISC-V CPU in under a 1000 lines of clean C, in two files, so you can include it basically any program (STB style FTW).
Yes but also see my sibling comment.
I applied as SWE in 2018 an was asked whether I ever thought doing Data Science instead. I said I thought about it but it didn't appeal to me, for reasons similar to the article.

Still, I got hired as Data Scientist. The money was good, but I didn't believe in the field and was kinda ashamed of the title (though it did seem to impress people - I think rural Europe is a few year behinds).

After 3 years I left for SWE SRE and my only regret is not doing that earlier.
Decent grasp of SQL and a bit of handwavy knowledge about stats comes in handier than expected.

Cloudflare Price Increases
I'm pretty sure that M1 Linux GPU drivers are indeed that exciting. Being able to ditch the ever-increasing burden of keeping macOS from telling the Cupertino mothership every single little thing I do on my Mac for a proper Linux desktop on the best laptop ever made (I have a maxed out 64gb/8tb M1 max rMBP) is... exciting, to put it mildly.
There is a beautifully simple game with a very inclusive and fun concept. But everytime I want to play it I have to scroll through my installation history

If you search for the title word for word, you will never find it. If you search for the description word for word you will never find it. It is so deeply buried under a mountain of garbage that I sometimes wonder what other gems the play store keeps from seeing the light of day.
Found this enlightening ...

"White is also sceptical about solutions purporting to show which crypto companies represent a risk for banks and their customers. “It’s hard to individually predict which companies might later become a problem because, if banks knew a project was fraudulent, then people wouldn’t really be putting money into it,” she says."

and this quite validating:

"As financial institutions and the crypto industry continue to grapple over the right amount of regulation, others in the private sector have begun questioning the longevity and relevance of the industry itself after back-to-back scandals. Earlier this month in The Economist, the FTX collapse was described as a ‘catastrophic blow to crypto’s reputation and aspirations’ while a Reuters podcast similarly declared that the incident ‘consigns crypto to fringes of finance’. "
> Time from getting out of bed to meeting someone is like 30-45minutes, and I have to spend money. In the city,it is more like 15 minutes, meaning you can do it twice as often, hang out longer.

How tightly packed is your calendar that this makes such an enormous difference?

I'm asking because I always met my friends in the city centre, to which the commute alone from my place was 45min.

Data isn't knowledge. Records like these seldom, but not never, actually cast a useful light. The worst of the malfeasance can pay for the workarounds or don't care that the information they record is simply false. Without the power of a criminal investigation you can't do anything about the obfuscated or false information, and with a criminal investigation there is little need for the database-- because you can pull the records directly, subpoena the relevant parties, etc..

But an honest business person isn't setting up a maze of proxies. Their PII is published, exposing them to crazies, kidnappers, extortionists (including extortionists that use the courts), and suppressing their free expression because any harsh word uttered online can send off someone with a grudge to invade their lives, any unpopular view can unleash a total war on whatever they're connected to.

[It's not even that uncommon for a poster to tick off a HN commenter only to have them come back with irrelevant personal information as means of intimidation, and HN is a lot nicer than much of the internet.]

Where corrupt public figures have been a concern-- apply the transparency directly to the public figures: At least then it's just part of the tradeoff in assuming the responsibility and they can be compensated accordingly (private security is remarkably expensive...).
I agree. Sometimes I'm prototyping something or feeling my way down one possible implementation -- it's a lot more efficient to go deep in one area of the codebase and come back to fix up everywhere else later once I'm sure this is the right trajectory. In my day job, I use Flow.js which gives me this and I'm a little hesitant to give that up, given there's no many static type checkers that work this way.
Ah yes, the factory recovery disks, such a low point in computing. I remember it not working when needed (and if it did, it would wipe the machine), having to use Windows XP/7 CD-Roms from older computers to fix my installation. Microsoft handing out Windows 10 for free and OEM keys being available for 10€ on Ebay ended this weird time when Microsoft had piracy-anxiety even though Windows came preinstalled on new computers, while at the same time the hype around the Apple's MacBooks was at an all-time high.
Amazing accomplishment! If I didn’t know better, this could have been in the next bobiverse book!

My guess is that the status quo helps consolidate and that helps the monied interests behind the scenes. Or they'd make sure the industry had a parachute, so to speak.
The government should also set up more food NGOs that provide food regularly to the poor and needy. School meal program, however, are not enough to solve the problem. We need to tackle the supply problem as well. There needs to be more food grown sustainably.
Yep, except this one 3rd party repair shop insisted on my password to my drive just for a screen clamshell assembly (MacBook) and keyboard replacement.

I let him watched me type it in (on a cracked screen with a broken A key) and the proceeded to erasing all partitions before I left it with him.

It was preset to "fuck you", just in case.

Batteries.

Everybody have better manufacturing capability then Tesla. Everybody know better then Tesla how to do cars.

No really!!!

It was always about costs side of equations. Manufacturing does not solve costs. Batteries factories and battery chemistry R&D solves costs. This and only this is why CAR oems didn't do good EVs before.

So Toyota can do zero with their manufacturing until they invest in batteries.

Nobody can, until they out-invest Tesla... Who has best deals in whole industry so far.

So it's still Tesla that can build best cars is they choose to do. Cause why sell cheaper when you sell all at higher price???
Same. 400ms would be perceptible.
