I don't think anybody really blames the victims and people understand the bullies are the problem.

The issue is, what are you going to do about it? Teachers can't be fully responsible for fixing them, and clearly the parents (often) won't. You can't really go "draconian" mode on the bullies either, they're still kids. And even if you would, they'd get even worse.
I’m not in total disagreement with your point, and, frankly, I’m glad that you made it.

But how would you respond to the argument: those that lost money in FTX weren’t consciously in on the con, but instead had (vastly) exaggerated expectations about the future of crypto?
What Twitter is an tries to be is pseudo-public space.

Yeah. Just because no charges have been filed yet, and no grand jury announced yet, does not mean there wasn't a crime committed or that it won't be prosecuted. This wasn't some kind of "shady dealing". This was straight up stealing money from people.
Good ol' Schrödinger's bots.
I have removed signed-integer based values bounds checking in a compiler once and before I noticed, I got a nice 3.8% performance gain in a large diverse benchmarking suite. While not expensive, bounds checks are certainly not free.
Once you have worked with them, you won't want to work without them.
> Are there independent records of these donations.

Wouldn't be called dark money if there were. Sure he's a lying sociopath, which is why it would make sense that he did donate to both sides.
I am very thankful for that opportunity. I learned so much from my colleagues! And they were genuinely great people to work with.

I was well compensated, it's true. It's also true that for every $1000 I was paid, I lowered FB's costs by about $4000. The argument that I should be eternally grateful to Zuck for allowing me to keep a quarter -- before taxes! -- of the profit that accrued to him for writing zero lines of compiler code while he keeps the other three quarters is maybe not the strong argument you think it is.
I've not read the paper, or the original NYT article and will probably wont. So downvote if you want.

But I'm getting a little jaded of "performative science":

1. A group gets some result (in this case probably well explained by maxwell + schrodinger equation)

2. Interpret this within some cool framework like wormholes or relativity

3. Rush to announce

This is then followed by long tail of incremental work that leads to nowhere.

Not saying this particular work is like that, but there have been too many premature celebrations of work which later proved to be unreproducible or unimpactful. Perhaps what I'm describing is a typical scientific process, but after the advent of "Twitter Driven Science", in general i'm feeling less sure of the interpretation and impact of these works.

Back in the day there was a patch floating around that let you mark mounts as "bad", and all open files would be shunted to a "badfs" which gave I/O errors for all operations.

Most of the discussion around it has linkrotted. https://lwn.net/Articles/192632/ has some mentions.

Some filesystems implement a less-comprehensive variant that's `umount(2)` with `MNT_FORCE` -- but generally that's only network/FUSE-style ones:

MNT_FORCE (since Linux 2.1.116)
Ask the filesystem to abort pending requests before attempting the
unmount. This may allow the unmount to complete without waiting
for an inaccessible server, but could cause data loss. If, after
aborting requests, some processes still have active references to
the filesystem, the unmount will still fail. As at Linux 4.12,
MNT_FORCE is supported only on the following filesystems: 9p (since
Linux 2.6.16), ceph (since Linux 2.6.34), cifs (since Linux
2.6.12), fuse (since Linux 2.6.16), lustre (since Linux 3.11), and
NFS (since Linux 2.1.116).
Why spend a few hundred dollars when you can spend tens of thousands!
Latex definitely could make a great book. It has all the neat tricks that the writer of a book can dream and will be extremely pleasant to read, but unless you know it yet, you probably could want to ask the help from an expert on the language.

You can use calibre to convert the pdf to epub later

> There is an extensive cross reference and table of contents that I have no idea how to deal with

Yep, definitely sounds like a job for Tex and friends, born for managing complex cross references and extensive bibliographies. Unless the book is written in an exotically arranged language, Latex should be more than enough. You can include images on your book easily, annotate them, place arrows, draw over the figures or include hyperlinks to open an internet webpage.
The tone comes from the top. If criticizing the CEO’s strategy is prohibited as “cynicism,” then lower level leaders throughout the company will take that as license to prohibit criticism of their own ideas. And often that type of criticism is far more productive.

I’m a year older than him and in finance without an Ivy League education or any pedigree and I can swear to you that innocence act fools no one except people outside the field. This is like a programmer saying he drowned the company because he didn’t realize how much he was spending on cloud costs as he left the auto scaler on. It is the stupidest excuse, except the autoscaler was running on infra the programmer created and owned so he just took all the money. Which is just basic fraud.

It is such basic fraud that it happened even in 2008 and it’ll keep happening. Cherub faced little fucks will evolve to fool you out of your money until the end of all time. Don’t fall for it.
So a journalist who has never built a billion dollar business from scratch knows better than Musk how to run a business? Really?

Check out contract roles that are EU-friendly in London & angel.co for remote jobs in the bay area that are happy with global hires. I had a contract with a company in SF while living in Oxford for ~160k and know London pays 700+ per day for mid-senior developers. There are contract-specific jobsites out there but I can't google them right now because I'm on a company VPN.

But they don't have to do that. They can choose to sue spyware vendors and not sue security researchers who have technically violated the same provision.

It's getting lost with unity/unreal and their asset store that bastardize the craft

But when you are on a mission to make a specific kind of game works, that's when you appreciate the smart people working in that industry, what ever you want on the screen, they'll make it happen, what ever it takes

What the parent is likely trying to point out is that Apple has no obligation to give you the feature the way you want it (in fact, Apple seems to view not providing flexibility as the feature). If you feel this strongly about the feature, then using a different phone (which there are many) is available.
Nah, that's too glib. The people at one extreme end of the spectrum might accurately be called sociopaths, but lots of more ordinary people fall to the right of center on the "enjoys bullying" bell curve.
That's probably your disks cache catching up with what you've done.

NTFS likes making sure that disks flush their caches regularly, and congestion caused by cache bloating makes it harder. Getting an nvme (or better, while you can, Optane) SSD for compilation on is a good start for improving your build times.
If you were a journalist or activist operating in Rwanda you might have a slightly different view.

These are tools that target individuals, and if you are being targeted by a nation state (some of which don’t have the best human rights record) that’s going to be worse than Microsoft’s storing everything you listed.
I was a heavy GIMP user back in the day. Just last week i downloaded again. I didn‘t understand anything. Maybe i just forgot it all, but it felt unusable to me.

The UI seemed so cluttered and unnecessarily complex. Almost like they want to prove how powerful the tool is, by shoving it all in your face. I didn‘t like it.

I think it might be time to reinvent. It would be a shame if GIMP joined the club of 27…
Older automobiles were still useful, though. The Model T transformed rural America and many cities. VR has been portrayed as close to that point many times for decades but has flopped hard at finding anything many people want to do. It was primitive back then, but so were video games in the 1970s and they still sold a ton of systems. Maybe there’s an inflection point where things will flip but it seems hard to believe that we’re still in the pre-Pong era of something which will become huge.
The “intentional” part of your claim is extremely dubious, even if I agree with it if you omit that word.

I don’t think there’s an unintentional relationships which facilitates and under-punishes fraud, but I don’t think there’s a conspiracy afoot.
How, exactly, does building a VR social network harm anyone?
This seems really tone deaf:

“ As hard as this is for all of us, our future is bright. I look forward to working with you to propel Elastic into that future as we make Elastic a generational brand”, especially since he earlier says those being laid off may not even know that for up to 24 hours.

If you think that’s bad, consider that some printers are literally cheaper to buy than the ink replacements. Since new printers come with cartridges it can be cheaper to just buy a whole new printer whenever you run out of ink
I preferred the flying toasters. I'm upset there's no classic flying toasters screensaver that uses the original graphics/style (the original had bagels, jumping toasters, and other animations), but not enough to make one myself.
I understand how debits and credits work in fractional reserve banking and how money is created in such a system. I don’t understand whatever OP was describing.
> He can feel however he likes; nothing compelled him to post it publicly for all the world to read and comment.

He has a blog. He can post any thing he likes, any time he likes. As can anyone here who can manage to put together a blog.
> The effort to paint over such blatant fraud and negligence and pretend it was all a mistake from a well-meaning kiddo is disgusting.

I agree and this thread is honestly plain disgusting too. Many here are happy and find it funny to see people's crypto being stolen by fraudsters.

From TFA:

"It is now clear that what happened at the FTX crypto exchange and the hedge fund Alameda Research involved a variety of conscious and intentional fraud intended to steal money from both users and investors."

And from the bankruptcy filings:

"On-chain analysis has found the bulk of movements from FTX to Alameda took place in late 2021, and bankruptcy filings have revealed that FTX and Alameda lost $3.7 billion in 2021.
This is maybe the most befuddling part of the Bankman-Fried story: His companies lost massive amounts of money before the 2022 crypto bear market even started. They may have been stealing funds long before the blowups of Terra and Three Arrows Capital".

People may hate on Bitcoin, Ethereum, ape monkeys yacht club etc. (or whatever these NFTs are called) as much as they want, it's not reason to rejoice when thieves do scam people (including a canadian teachers pension funds' money).

There's also another angle: the very same who are cheering on people losing all their money to a scam were the first to say: "Pay your taxes on any crypto gain you made" (so that, in the end, they get their share of these winnings too through the state's spendings)...

If the state collects taxes on gain made on crypto, the state go after people stealing other people's crypto.

As simple as that.

P.S: and I hope people are happy that their politicians got greased by stolen funds and aren't giving these bribes (pardon, donations) back.
Hey, Dave is doing great work these days!
Someday one of these password managers is going to be hacked wide open and it is NOT going to be pretty.
Is there a tool like this that can modify part of the HTML without changing the formatting or inserting new tags unnecessarily? I know it's a difficult problem given the complexity of HTML parsing, but I'd like to be able to work with parts of pages programmatically without messing up the hand-written formatting in other parts.
Would be so nice to stop seeing these articles?
I just categorically disagree that you can conclude anything about GIMP on this basis. I will strongly agree with anyone who says that GIMP is missing features and that it's subpar for graphic designer work. But I've used GIMP for over 15 years now and I have the exact same experience as you when I try to do anything in Photoshop. I simply can't find my way around Photoshop's interface at all. Does that mean that Photoshop's interface is terrible? No. It means I'm not used to it.

The crop tool is literally one click away in the GIMP interface, by the way, and once you activate it, it works like it does in any other program.
How is Affinity able to do it?
I still pay for Spotify despite getting YouTube music with premium. But Spotify is still worlds better than the competition.

And I agree that it is monopolistic that Apple gets to both have their service preinstalled, and allow subscriptions in app without an extra charge.
I mean, Apple could just put a warning on it in the app store. Give parental controls, don't run ads on it. But effectively shutting down access to it is egregious IMO in a time where they are a gatekeeper of information for 55% of the population (at least in the US).
I agree with you. The point is just that it suggests a different set of interventions. If you keep digging for the "root cause" when the root cause is, "he likes it," then you're going to waste a lot of time getting nothing done.
Note this op/ed is published by CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency journalism outlet that broke the story about FTX's financial situation that precipitated their collapse. Different authors but same publication. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/24/media/coindesk-scoop-ftx-reli...

This website seems to state problems--or things that they think we should be concerned with--but I am having the damndest time trying to discern what they actually want to do.
No, you don't need an ID. The article has one implementation that avoids IDs, but here's a simpler one:

Place a cookie HAS_BEEN_ON_SITE=true as soon as someone loads any page.

Voila, your server can now distinguish between users who've been to your site and users who haven't, without being able to tell recurring users apart from each other.

The implementation in the article is fancier, because the cache control headers allow distinguishing this on a page-by-page basis, but it's the same general idea. Don't give the client an ID, just ask the client to tell you if it's been there before.
You happen to have a source for that? I have heard that before but no one has been able to back it up.
I don't use them, but my conclusion is that at least one major cloud password manager has been hacked already without any disclosure. If they disclose it, the company should logically be dead. Thus, the incentive would just be to cover it up.
It has stiff competition, but I’m certain that “Elastician” is the worst company demonym I’ve heard so far.
That's what Sesame Street is for. Microsoft just re-invented digital muppets and they're like 'holy shit nobody has seen such a thing before.' It's clippy for kids!
If you scroll down to the very bottom there is a big "we are hiring" icon. I wish everyone who was laid off all the best. I wonder if Amazon with it's elastic fork will try to acquire some of the talent.
Ripoff or Bargain?
It's FOSS, so feel free to implement those yourself and send over a PR :)
Most of them are build without having decrypted passwords or keys for them on server, so attacker would need to get to the point where they can craft malicious update to the client (or exploit the client)
The t4g instances are also burstable so running your database with 4 cores under load would either get you throttled or produce more charges.
I would think Tesla fundamentals and operations are basically the same. The CEO may be a twat in public, but that only dims a halo that smart money wouldn't pay much attention to, as long as he doesn't cross any dangerous lines. The biggest danger is that he's too distracted by Twitter and Tesla suffers. After all, Tesla culture has grown up in his image, no shocks there. There is a danger that people see risk of his self-annihilation, but if Tesla hasn't started planning already for succession in case of boating accident or similar, they really are at risk. And if he's the only CEO-god who can run it, their stock is a greater-fool exercise.
100 copies of the same two choices is not competition.
Nor did anything compel you to read it, or post whiny comments here!

I did choose to work for Facebook. The pitch I was given seven years ago was that (1) the mission of the company is to lower costs of building community and connecting people; running an ad-funded social media platform is the means to that end. That's not a mission that is super important to me, but I can respect it. And (2) FB is the company that is investing heavily in advancing modern developer tools outside of the Microsoft ecosystem. That is a mission that is important to me.

Your statement that I wish I could continue to work for and enrich Zuck is false. I was regretted attrition.

Your lack of empathy is clear.
I am getting the same error in the browser but mobile app is working fine (also US). I wonder if this has anything to do with the release of Spotify Wrapped today for this year.
The whole point of dark money is that it's anonymous.. in either case one of his staunchest defenders in congress is the #3 guy in the GOP who received millions of dollars of support from FTX on the record. Rep. Emmer also tried to prevent the SEC from investigating FTX so maybe everyone can stop pretending that it's exclusively a Democrat problem?

I keep wondering what you think bullying is, at the school level?

Because at my level, it was physically violent - and I was not in a school where this was considered "a problem". Everyone knew who the bullies were, and there was a collective culture of silence because the school could not possibly enforce proper physical safety on the grounds or around it. You avoided them and stayed away from them, because they absolutely knew who they had a physical edge on, and were absolutely willing to do nothing but escalate.

We don't need to "teach children to deal with bullying" we need god damn physical security around and within schools, and a panopticon of surveillance to make sure that justice happens swiftly and accurately.

I think LLVM is smart enough to optimize regular `for i in 0..stuff.len()` loops into the same assembly as `for i in &stuff` loops in almost all cases. I imagine this sort of "we can tell that i is always less than len" optimization is a big contributor to the low cost of bounds checks. In some large portion of cases where they're not needed, the optimizer can already see that.
>I think you problably have some sampling bias in your adult interactions.

Is there anyone who doesn't have 'sampling bias' in their adult interactions? This seems like a misapplication of a technical term.
They tried that.

It was called Windows Me.

Also, the selling point of the Professional editions was and continues to be use in Active Directory and business environments, not developer workstations.
Great, now I'm going to have to rename my dog.
We lived in a normal city where this wasn’t much of a risk, not San Francisco.

Also, most bullies wouldn’t tell anyone, since they are usually bullying people in the first place because their parents abuse or ignore them. Needless to say, if you are a shitty parent, this is a very bad idea.

Also a "write" push-button-switch could be useful if you have wireless update and are playing with less than scrupulously honest people (or children). Otherwise they might say the card "changed", because of a bug or similar excuse.

Our pricing is a rorschach test.

If you come from Heroku, we seem too cheap: https://community.fly.io/t/comparison-of-prices-to-heroku/89...

If you are most familiar with AWS, we seem pretty close to what you're used to. But very cheap for egress.

If you are a DigitalOcean user, VMs seem pretty ok, but bandwidth seems more expensive.

If you are a CloudFlare user, you think everything else is too expensive until they try to sell you an Enterprise plan.

If you're a happy user of Hetzner or OVH, you pay something close to the same price as we do for servers. And might be surprised at our prices. Because we also want to have reasonable margins.

People really like us when they have an app that seems valuable to them, they don't want to think hard about running servers, but they do know they can "eject" and run the rest of their infra too: https://community.fly.io/t/startup-credit-program/6709/3?u=k...

It’s already environmentally worse to buy a newly built electric car than it is to keep your current gas one (or buy a used one).

The battery wear problem only makes this worse.

The real solution is of course to heavily reduce our reliance on cars but highways and stroads keep being built.
