I miss the quaintness of being on the old Internet. Maybe it's just the Endless September of it all, but the content seemed more cared for when it wasn't trivial to put out. I do think it's great that barriers for publishing are lower than what they were, but sometimes I sure do wonder if they're too easy, of people are too connected. Maybe that's just what getting old feels like?
> nowadays I'm very often a flaming angry coder but that's real anger. It feels the same as when you get angry to press the fire button really fast in a video game, kind of thing. It's been a major issue for decades now as if there are any other people around, I have to really watch my mannerisms and mumblings because there have been negative outcomes from it.

I'm the same, I completely control my mannerisms and usual expletives when coding near people because... It can get fire-y for no reason, I know that it's just work and code but my inner monologue needs to vent out each frustration I find. I learned that it can appear quite toxic for an outsider, they don't live in my head to know that saying "this fucking bullshit shouldn't have been done this way" is not a judgment on anyone's character or technical abilities, I'm very aware that crappy code was done under constraints (skill level, time crunch, so on and so forth) but somehow I do need to be angry about it to push myself around to fix stuff that doesn't seem right.

It can look aggressive and whiny at the same time and I definitely want to avoid people having this impression of me because I truly don't care so much, it's just work and I kinda gotta do it this way when alone to keep myself in it.
Hi. Concerning 1Password and leaking to system memory… What about the others like Bitwarden/Vaultwarden or KeePass and Strongboxsafe? Aren’t they doing the same?
> No-one believes either of those things.

“No-one” is a pretty broad claim, yeah?

> including Clinton herself, who has loudly and proudly declared repeatedly that she would/should have been president but for election interference.

The point you make is interesting, but surely there are pretty big differences in those two situations? Are they really identical in any way? I would be curious to know why they are the same thing and can be compared with each other like this - from my point of view, I don’t think I could agree.
If you cant have something you don't have to want it either. It's irrational and a waste of time to want to see someone fired or to want to fire someone if it's not going to happen.
Repairing the tissue damage from weight does take a lot of energy (calories) but it also requires a high intake of essential amino acids. Otherwise muscle growth will be slow and the risk of injury increases. Many people aren't getting enough, and as we age our digestive system becomes less efficient at absorbing those nutrients. The easiest way to get enough is to eat a couple scoops of whey protein powder, but there are other good options for those willing to put a little more effort into nutrition planning.
Calling smart contracts in Java, this tool can help you do it quickly

Of course. It's a tool, can be used for both good and bad, just like any other tool.

And it started at least a decade ago. What do you think crackers for RDR2 used to test their in-house social network in order to bypass Rockstar game protection?

This is interesting. Thank you. I am especially interested in how concurrency is implemented and its syntax.

One problem I am trying to think how to solve is cheap zero cost only synchronization between separate interpreters. I think Java and C# have thread safe object pool Allocators but when subinterpreters communicate I don't want to marshall the object to another interpreter which is what Python does. The identity of an object in Python is created at runtime which means class hierarchies are different objects. How do you copy objects between threads? Only have one object pool?

I am working on a toy multithreaded high level language that looks similar to JavaScript It has a very basic interpreter for my own imaginary assembly and the codegen from the AST. It could be turned into a bytecode interpreter but at first I'm just using strings.

I'm currently working on parsing nested HashMaps literals similar to JSON. I want everything to be an expression including functions, loops and hash literals.

One problem I want to solve is cheap communication between threads and coroutines. I have an pseudo actor framework that can send 20-100 million messages a second between threads used "send", "receive" instructions. There is also a "sendcode" and "receivecode" instruction which is used to send the thread to execute code at a label. It's a bit similar to sending a jump instruction to another thread.

I was thinking how to implement async/await. I wrote an unrolled switch statement similar to Protothreads. I need to write a transpiler that turns the async/await into an eager or lazy run on a thread.

Those were magical times
A long ago long-term manager of mine from the minicomputer industry (now Dell by way of successive acquisitions) just hit his 43rd service anniversary--started in sales out of school I think. I know a bunch of people at IBM who have been there two or more decades. I've been at several places 10+ years but I seem to hit my limit at about that point.
I know I do. It's more or less RBF. I wish people would judge less on looks before getting to know you. At least your friend asked about it and didn't just assume anything about you. :)

I have this expression when focused on work, playing sports, and at music concerts.
Funny. I first saw life over 40 years ago. I saw some crazy objects creates in my college days. I've seen occasional articles about breakthroughs over the years. Understanding gliders and spaceships has been my foundation to grok everything since. Being able to think in the abstract was a key to understanding this article for me, but without a few concrete foundational concepts... I stopped a few times reading it to laugh at how absurdly abstract and full of jargon it is. Completely meaningless techno-babble to the uninitiated. How much of my own specialization sounds so opaque to outsiders? Maybe all of it ;-)
Sky News is Australia's Fox News. The IPA is a right-wing "think-tank". Chris Kenny is a climate change denier.

This is not good journalism, and it would be a stretch to call Kenny a journalist.
No. In an abstract sense, I wouldn't necessarily mind becoming a "lifer" but the reality of doing it in a capitalistic society is an absolute joke.

Why would I consider committing myself to a company that can ditch me at a moment's notice, potentially for factors completely outside my control? That's absolute insanity.

The reality, whether I like it or not, is that I need to keep my skills sharp in case I'm looking for another role on short notice.

I once worked for a startup that hired a "lifer" who'd spent 30-40 years as a developer at a bank and was eventually laid off. They thought they'd scored a real gem. He was a bright guy, a good human being. Had led some big projects at the bank.

In reality he was essentially unemployable for any modern development role. He literally only knew COBOL and such, no lie. With much effort I'm sure he could have reinvented himself and rejuvenated his career. In a more ideal world he could have lead us, we could have learned from each other, etc. But we had hard deadlines to meet.

In reality, all he got for his "lifer" commitment was a kick in the ass out of the bank's door and a set of atrophied skills that made him more or less unemployable. We had to let him go.

I never want to be that guy.
> Practically, though, it's a shit show.

I usually put it as "Deep inside windows is a really beautiful OS just screaming to be let out from under all that junk on top."

The NT kernel isn't that bad, different from unix for sure but still good. It then just keeps getting progressively worse as you go upwards in the stack from there.

Article mentions 6%, not sure if that’s a mistake.

By scaling back headcount, DoorDash aims to curb operating expenses, which topped $2 billion in the third quarter, largely due to stock-based compensation and the absorption of Wolt, the Finnish food-delivery company it acquired last year.

Anything involving payment methods is where HN usually gets flooded with people from China and Scandinavia flogging the "cash is dead" horse and how wonderful their rainbows and unicorns world is now that absolutely nothing in they ever encounter requires the use of low-tech bits of evil legacy paper.

I've been banging on that drum for years, and the first time I posted on the Haiku forums people said it was proprietary and wasn't going anywhere, and that RISC-V would be a better priority.

Fast forward some five or six years and there are literally _hundreds_ of ARM SBCs out there that could be running Haiku instead of hacked Debian.
so no pricing and its offered by inquiry only which i can only assume means we have serious reservations regarding the salability of this 'new' product versus, say, a $24 a month vultr instance or something...

if you had 60 devs using the service thats 14k a year. you could have one of them thats on payroll maintain the gitlab container along with the rest of the CI/CD and im not sure it would really matter. Is there something im missing?
Yes, absolutely. Have received this feedback multiple times.

My father, who is not a software developer but a white-collar worker as well, is the same way.
It’s not even text. It’s just UTF-8 at best and just ASCII in some cases. When did awk get Unicode support? 3 months ago?
I think the real conclusion here is... No substantial security issues were discovered. There are a few things github could change to better follow security best practices to help avoid future bugs.

There were some people on Blind saying their access was cutoff at 12am midnight with no email or announcement. Pretty poor way to handle things IMO.
Many of them are better at being unix-y because they are Unixes or Unix clones.

I've seen the cosmic horror that results from taking a Windows-oriented software and then writing enough headers and glue to make it work on Linux without changes to the main codebase.
I think that everything that's in print is available on the web site, but there are also web-only things, so the print magazine may be a bit of a "quality/triviality filter" in that regard.

I like The Atlantic in general, although I think they have a bit of what I sometimes call a "contrarian bias", e.g., prioritizing "the conventional wisdom is X, but here's why it's wrong" think-pieces even when their theses aren't particularly strong. (Slate and Salon were much worse about that in their heyday.)
Big fan of everything Jeff has put out over the years, having found him back in the day by way of his large catalog of Ansible materials.

One request: please dont advocate for stale bot :( I understand the tension between maintainers sanity and developers sanity, but there has to be a better way. It is absolutely _maddening_ as the consumer to interact with a stale-bot enabled repository. Please, just manually close the issues as 'wontfix' and link to this blog post instead.
First, I think it's a little bit different to compare these two. One is 3 years after COVID, with vaccines, some level of herd immunity, and better treatment options. The other was immediate when little was understood. China's position is extreme, the west never reached that level of lockdown.

But in any case, I agree. A news diet is important. My parents watch CNN, and I can tell it has negative effects. I tell them to not watch the local news every night and don't put on CNN. This isn't a political thing.

But it must be said - there are much stronger calls to violence on one side, than the other, at this point in time.
Doing this sort of thing to a live webservice is a good way to get a perma-ban...
C++ has this IFNDR - "Ill-Formed: No Diagnostic Required" in the standard which marks various things as simultaneously not C++ and so the standard doesn't define what should happen, and yet also your standards conforming compiler is not required to diagnose this and tell you about the problem.

You can presumably argue that all those things aren't "permitted" but there is no way to detect for sure if you wrote any of them, and if you did your entire C++ program has no defined meaning and might do anything at all.

There's a reason this exists. Rice's Theorem says non-trivial Semantic questions are Undecidable. You thus can't always correctly decide whether a program has some non-trivial semantic property, but C++ wants to require a whole lot of such properties. So, when it's difficult they just say the compiler must err on the side of emitting nonsense programs.

[Rust takes the other path here, if the Rust compiler can't be sure that your program has the required semantic properties you get an error. This is rare but annoying, typically you can easily modify your program to satisfy the compiler or when you try to do so you realise actually the compiler was right, this program doesn't have the required semantic properties]

I am increasingly confident that C++ made the wrong choice here, neither of these outcomes is desirable but the Rust outcome has a negative feedback loop - if changes make Rust's compiler annoy more programmers with spurious errors there's pushback. The C++ approach has positive feedback, as C++ gets less well-defined people's compilers accept whatever nonsense they wrote, nobody tells the committee to stop doing this - until one day it blows up in their face.
If you want to allow people to build curl using various different compilers (and old versions of them) on Windows, it needs to support all their libc’s.

And at runtime, libcurl could find itself using a different libc from the application, so a buffer malloc’d in libc can’t be passed to free() by the app.
I remember a colleague who was critical and pretty much the only person who knew how part of the business worked. He had a great analogy that for every new initiative and fresh recruit they brought into that area, it was like the organisation was hooking in another IV into him to draw more blood out. It's an image that always stuck with me to describe people in the situation Jeff found himself in.

Anecdotal, but one of my significant others is morbidly obese. They were already very overweight when I met them and fell in love. They gained even more weight since the pandemic and I still find them beautiful. Obesity is not imcompatible with beauty.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, yes, but it's also about how you carry yourself.
Wouldn't a perfect solution be to add a function "queue file deletion after it is closed" to Windows?
Lol of course they could. Netflix does. But like you said market rate includes the cost of interviewing, which is usually enough to deter 80% of folks so why would you overpay.
You have to mine them one by one.
Whenver I use a REPL I'm annoyed I didn't write it as a test, so I get proper import completion and generally tooling support. Finally I usually want to reuse the code or have a regression.
I think that file locking was a decision made with good intentions, but it's probably one of the single biggest mistakes in the windows ecosystem.

And I understand people will argue for it because it does have some utility, but not near enough to pay for the all the damage it's done to people's time.
The J6 crowd broke through windows and members of congress were literally barricading themselves into rooms for protection. Some brought zip ties for the purposes of apprehending individuals. They beat a capital police officer to death with a fire extinguisher.

I’m not sure how once can fail to see a difference between that group and the one protesting Brett Kavenaugh’s confirmation.

Have yet to see anything really appealing about mastodon.
Don't think I really liked Twitter either except for the fact that everyone is on it already.
To be fair, this isn’t the sort of argument you’d want to make with any historical knowledge.

At some point in history, a lot of extremely bad opinions went from “almost everyone” to “vast majority” to an ever shrinking minority. Just to name a few:

- black people are inferior
- women are inferior
- gay people shouldn’t be allowed to marry
- Native Americans are savages
- Depression/anxiety should be stigmatized

Each of these opinions followed a predictable but long path where more exposure to better opinions eventually won out. I’m unaware of any progressive opinion on egalitarianism that has failed to become mainstream given a long enough time horizon.

I don’t see any reason why this current “debate” will turn out any differently.
Same here — I don't see a decline in quality of the articles. I am annoyed (and refuse to use) their new phone app, which runs animated ads in articles, so that part is going downhill like everything else in the ad world. But the journalism seems to be good.

I carefully read articles about my country to check for inaccuracies, and sometimes ask people from other countries about other articles. The result of these checks is always the same: the journalism is solid, facts are presented well, the articles are always slightly condescending and overuse the word "should". If the "shouldism" annoys you, you can always easily skip these parts.

I continue to subscribe, because it's pretty much the only thing out there.
wanting to work there hurts your value. That’s just logic, if you are happy and want to be there, they don’t have to work as hard to keep you.

Smooth operations do too, if your group is running like a top and doesn’t need a lot of attention, then it typically doesn’t get the attention. Good managers will point that out and try to reward that but it fades.

IBM, Microsoft, Google, etc.. have all come up with different strategies to rank people, they tend to be disliked by many and often create incentives to be less than the best teammates. It’s hard. It’s very hard.
I've been looking for a long time where to check. thank you very much. no more complexity. Now I can check 15 class values directly
It's a bit more nuanced than "neoliberal, centre-right", though.

The Economist is aware of the failures of markets, in favour of drug legalisation, gay marriage, gun control, measures to curb climate change (they've called for a carbon tax from 1987 onwards), and has endorsed the Democrat rather than Republican candidate in 6 of the last 8 US presidential elections.

Not to be too pedantic, but you showed 0 math. If the company's revenue grows at or above 3%, there is no math "problem".

Research for what? If the normal food that people can buy is stuffed full of subsidised HFCS, it becomes the default to gain weight.

> that stop people from making the kind of lifestyle changes

This is not about individual choice: you can't design a system so that the default is way too many calories, then blame an individual for getting fat.

Make the default healthy.

When you get down to basics, JS has arrays, structs, ints, floats, and strings+regex (both backed by very fast C++ implementations. If you stick to these things as if they were C analogs, the performance potential is very high.

Viewed in those terms, it shouldn't be surprising that JS can be incredibly fast (faster than C in some cases).
You can do exactly the same with pure CSS. This is not a Tailwind advantage.
One thing I noticed about The Economist is that every so often they'll bring up some interesting criticism of a widely held view. Then a few days later they'll publish an article vigorously supporting the Current Thing. A particularly obvious example was when they had a column about Ukraine from John Mearshimer, and the various follow-ups. They also ran that takedown of Mohammed bin Salman but periodically tout the upsides of Saudi Arabia.

I don't hold it against them, really; it's a business, and modern journalism relies on maintaining relationships with sources, who are often government officials and agencies. It's not too hard to recognize the stuff that gets published "defensively" once you're used to that.
You are right in your statement: the models are downloaded only once and cached. If that's not the case for some users, it should be filed as an issue
Why does the order matter in "has (or hasn't) reached self agency"? Brain is an organ - you seem to agree that child's brain is under-developed and may lack sufficient "self agency". Adult's can be destroyed in various degrees from 0 to irreversible coma. At some point you have to draw a line and say - "this brain is too underdeveloped/damaged, it doesn't have sufficient self agency".

You don't draw child's line at merely being to express their desires, why would you do so for an adult?
