Have yet to see a non-lisp language that fully handles the lisp 'nada' stuff correctly without programmer having to do some extra work. Where equating extra work because language didn't handle primatives as language issue that causes needless problems for programmer.

NIL not equivalent to NULL, "", ''.

Shortest non-theory example, taken from punchcard reader operations manual.

NIL -> no more cards going through card reader.

NULL -> reached end of card

vertical (carrage return), horizontal, "group"/tab space character

all blank card, no data -> no punches, no mem, max line count

all blank card, all spaces -> no punches, max mem, max line count

all deleted card -> assume doesn't jam machine, no line count.

Best command line example would be linearly chaining unix shell scripts using pipes & redirection to simulate a spread sheet. historical command characters (usually non-printable) become the sticking point (pipe & file names). aka is value of 0 a representation of NIL, NULL, no error code, delete character, no-character, string without line terminator, first byte in multi-byte sequence (unicode / internet mask), indirect file/memory location reference.
To handle the aformentioned 'specials', have to go outside the linear pipe sequence.
If Twitter fell like every other social media, it would have barely been worth $20B when Musk closed the deal. Add the mass destruction Musk has wrought, coupled with the fact that the debt holders have been trying to offload the debt at a discount, and there is a very real probability Twitter, if independently valuated, is worth less than the debt.
I have absolutely no idea what anything you just wrote means. You're ramblings make no sense whatsoever, and they lead towards no conclusions. Get over yourself.

> "What's happened here is that you've privileged a bad model that somebody probably taught you out of a textbook"

So you're dismissing the OSI model as a "bad model" that "somebody taught me", yet there's this other shiny thing developed by "dozens of really smart people" and that's clearly the way to go because those people "work with actual networking".

> "And it's quite reasonable for them to expect their communications to have these three properties."

Their communications are clearly secured and tamper-proof already today, despite not using QUIC. How do you square that?

The security happens at the application layer, using mechanisms such as TLS. Additional security mechanisms can clearly come on-top. No need to bake everything into a single transport-layer protocol when there's endless flexibility available by layering the protocols on-top of each other.

> "If your preferred model insists that we can't have security until the application layer then your model is wrong"

How about instead of throwing fits about some vague ideas of "security" you actually provide concrete examples of what it is you're talking about, so that we can have a meaningful and constructive conversation about technology?

All I was saying is that there's no reason to introduce more complexity into the transport layer, since "security" is already handled by the application layer (on a per-application basis). It's unclear whether a single "security" model fits into the transport layer, which should be as agnostic and light-weight as possible (hence it's original intention - to facilitate the transfer of information between endpoints, and leave the rest to whatever consumes that information).
I also see the complement. My comment's top reply is someone including an attack on Linux rather than expanding on their main motivations (unless they see them as one and the same?) and the responses and children thereof are then all about people either also attacking or trying to defend Linux.

It seems like a topic that is really deeply seated for this audience, but the fact that it is so deeply seated is a blind spot that doesn't seem like people have the ability or the interest to examine.
I love running. It's great for my body and mind.

Began running two years ago and it's the best decision I ever made. Just wrapped up this year with 1337km total :)
How to best deal with that resistance in order to work?
Well, PyPI would be in a very bad place, because they can't force them to say "yes". But they've backed themselves into a corner by punishing people for making software that becomes popular. :/
Explain how housing prices remain stable while labor enjoys increasing wages without some other changes?

Write in complaint about never affording a home. I’ll be 40 next year and in an apartment. Largely, still, because my sub-generation got absolutely knee capped by the Great Recession and just general crap conditions.
But again, your options compromise on what the person states they want.

What might be “80% of the experience” to you , may be a great reduction for them.

Take your previous comment, you already compromised on screen resolution (the Air is higher than 2k - depending especially on what ambiguous definition of 2k is being used , it’s slightly higher than QuadHD and quite a bit higher than 1080p), and battery life. Both of those are things they stated as important to them.
Virtually all feedback systems[1] have oscillatory modes in their solutions. Calling something a "random walk" doesn't tell you how the choices of direction are made, but in economics (and electronics) that's something that's subject to analysis. So I like mine better.

[1] Which an economy is, almost by definition: spending makes the people who sold you stuff richer, who then spend; tight purses mean the producers are poorer too.
The key word is "global". The article mentions Europe (especially the post-Brexit UK) and then, surprisingly, China.

"America’s economy enters 2023 in fundamentally stronger shape than either China’s or any in Europe. The Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate increases will tip the economy into recession, but with the labour market still strong and household savings copious, it will be a mild one."
That’s seems like a very very narrow definition of capitalism
Your response is unquestionally a bad one. If someone is desperate and on the edge during economic good times, then they're going to fall off the chart when the economy falls over. Don't blame the economy. It isn't the "economy's" job to keep a population fed and content, this is for socialized economic policies to backstop, not some delusion that good times will always be good times any any policy that adjusts against bubbles and inflation are anti-poor.
Thank you. So it's not really about "nontrivial risks associated with the mRNA vaccines" as suggested in the comment I responded to. They might not have understood the paper either. Thanks again.
Anything that says you don't wat to grow inside the conpany, however they define "growing".
yet still alive, huh
I just added snapshot tests to a project (yesterday!), in preparation for validating a major refactor. They’re invaluable now, and helped me catch two very important but very subtle regressions I couldn’t have expected to test. The output isn’t directly visible, it’s just plain markup which gets styled by downstream users/libraries. And there’s a strong expectation that it’s stable, which makes refactoring especially risky.

Now, I can’t predict whether the snapshots will remain valuable over the long term. I expect they won’t, but mainly because I’d like to see this library eventually fade away and its responsibilities move into its primary downstream target. But that may take years, it took nearly two years to get to this refactor which will help enable that. I’m betting the snapshots will be equally valuable whenever that goal becomes possible. In the meantime, they’re my best assurance that I can honestly tell people I believe the current work I’m doing is safe and correct.

I don’t think they’re right for every project or every testing scenario in a given project, but knowing when they are a great fit is important too.
Troubles at Alameda Began Well Before Crypto Crash
Built my own machine early in 2022 with 12th gen intel chip and other new components and put arch on it. It has never given me an issue. The only occasional problem is KDE clock freezes rarely and I have to restart the window manager. Overall it’s an incredibly fast computer.
Yes, there's in fact good evidence that the amyloids are likely an effect rather than the cause, arising from the long history of failure of drugs aimed at the amyloids.
Late to the party, but maybe I can help. I've helped in the hiring of many developers.

(grain of salt, just my opinion, etc...)

* Don't do bootcamps. It's a red flag for me. This can be said for any 100% online college. (again, I'm just being honest). Community colleges are fine.

* You having a Github that you've committed stuff to often-ish will most interest me. I don't give a crud if you contribute to open source. But just the fact that you're coding is what I care about. Yes, I will snoop around and see how good it is. No, I won't care if your code sucks. (side note: if your code is actually good, than that's better than a four-year degree at a college I've heard of imo)

* Don't get discouraged. I remember I searched for a programming job for two years before I got hired. The 70-ish times I was told "no" didn't matter after the one "yes".

* Be honest about where you are at (not programming professionally). I've always been open to hiring people outside the industry for entry-level programming jobs.

* Coding challenges are beyond useless to me. I will concede that they are valuable to some.

Hope that helped some. 80% of the advice given here is helpful as well.

Good luck. Please don't get discouraged <3.
The Economist remains uncompromised in my view. Maybe out of touch though. Another reason for more vigourous debate. I still think all these troubles are just engineering problems to be solved. I relish the task.
That’s easy to say when you take home 300k and the company generates 600k of revenue per employee.

It’s totally different when you are making $18 / hour and the company calculates your value at $19. Screw up a little bit your done. Push you to work extra for free and they just doubled your net value!
My main workstation is a fedora 36 install. I record videos on OBS for my YouTube channel, I edit those same videos using non-linear video editor. I game via steam and do all my work on it with no issues whatsoever. Oh and i3 changed my life. Tiling done right is amazing. And no vendor lock-in no BS corporate nonsense other than what comes from Redhat
That's more or less where my thinking comes from, I'm in the UK and most people fix for 2-5 years at a time.

Interest rates will come down again so the effect of them being a barrier will reduce. But the fundamental problem for most people here in the UK is getting a 10-20% deposit together when the average house price is £296k, average salary is about £27k, and average household income is £31k.
I stopped wearing headphones while running when the pandemic started. I really don't think about much. It's become sort of meditative for me.

Joe is one of the most knowledgeable person in the world on satellite imagery. He’s a must read.
My guess would be that text-to-speech scales very well for arbitrary data, for e.g. automatic audiobook generation, speech-to-speech does not.

But yeah, fully agreed, for individual projects speech-to-speech appears to be a better idea, much more data to work with in there. Otherwise it will be a Vocaloid-like experience, where you have to tinker with the intonation of individual words.

There is significant work in this area, too, e.g. Zero-Shot Voice Style Transfer: https://auspicious3000.github.io/autovc-demo/
Is immaturity something entirely bad? Maturity aka the absence of play is a sign of a stagnant mind, designated to reproduce, cruise and die.
Maybe we should stop decrying playfullness with immaturity aka unfinished humans as something bad.

Its also a sign of immaturity to have your value determined through eternal views and society, aka to be eternally stuck in high school, without experiencing the growth events that allow one to transcend that scenario via creativity.
> If we have a period of inflation, with increased wages (obviously with a painful lag), but house prices remain stagnant with no increase

This would require heavy regulation of the housing market. For example, we could add a hefty tax on any home that isn't owner-occupied. Otherwise, housing will remain one of the better places to invest earnings and the cost of housing will continue to rise with earnings. However, such a tax would likely increase the cost of renting.
How are you interpreting that English?

Not defined means, it could be anything. If accepting body in GET is out of spec, then spec is supposed to say, GET cannot send body.
Wouldn't be surprised if companies like Uber are promoting this type of future for the obvious reason that it will make more people dependent on their ride-sharing services.

Many decades ago, automobile manufacturing companies like General Motors paid cities to tear up their trolley systems in order to make people more dependent on the automobiles that they wanted to sell them.
object oriented programming.

i must have encountered it during my computer science classes and i certainly did some form of oo programming with LPC in MUDs, but only when i was programming modules in Pike for the Roxen webserver, it really clicked how oo programming worked.

in Roxen each http request causes a request object to be instantiated which lives for the lifetime of the request. further, each Roxen module gets instantiated as an object for the lifetime of the server process.
the request object would call module objects to process the request. the modules would make changes to the request object which would produce the response to the http request, whereas storing data in a module object caused it to be persistent.

i have been working on this for a while when one morning i woke up with a literal eureka moment as i realized how objects and encapsulation worked.

this happened a few decades ago and it was the most clear moment of this kind that i can still remember.
As household wages have increased (especially with increasingly two full time professional incomes now, which was very rare 30 years ago) and internet rates have been low, the monthly cost of housing hasn’t changed as a percentage of take home py, it’s just you need two full time incomes to do it.

This is the fundamental problem though, because there is a shortage of housing, as wages increases, housing costs (either rent or mortgage) increase to suck up every available penny that’s earned.

What is needed is for housing supply to be able to meet housing demand.
> Longer term, Croatia will have lost control of its monetary policy but one would expect they reckon they'll gain more from the switch.

You cannot lose something which you don't have. A bit /s, but don't think its much further from the truth.
Why do you think iPhones only allow one timer? I've been using an app that has multiple timers for years on an iPhone 6s. If you're talking about the stock Clock app then you're probably right, they just didn't feel like adding a little more complexity to a stock app.
Right, they bailed out corporations and threw people out of their homes. Never forgive, never forget.

I’d still largely say this Fed is departing from history. The economy last saw a pandemic like covid in 1918. And that was during a world war.
Reverse Engineering the DualShock 4 – Part 1
I'm trying to repair a strangely broken DS4. So broken it caused kernel panic when I connected to my laptop lol
One of the things I've always wondered about, and I don't know if there is a good scientific answer for it (haven't looked deeply), is if you end up committing to running 5 to 10 minutes a day will you end up turning into the type of person you're describing eventually.

I guess my question is that is it likely a person would get the outsized health benefits because they commit to the minor health change which then causes them to commit to more later.
As somebody who did it several times in multiple companies, it's not as hard as it looks. Usually you don't want to replicate your complete frontend experience, only the user facing part (and admin panel/etc can be a lot of product). Also things like notifications, emails, etc are all usually dispatched from your backend.

So in a lot of cases having just 1 engineer per each mobile platform would be enough. And if you spend say 3 years building backend + web frontent, it would take about 6 months for each to replicate user facing experience on mobile. With current average global quality engineering cost of 70k/year, this means it only costs about $70k total to ship both mobile apps.

There are many ways to do it less efficiently, but this is my personal experience (as a CEO, EM and also iOS engineer in different setups) and it's really achievable.
People don't author papers on mobile yet do they? I mean, an android tablet with a mouse and keyboard should be fine for that given webapps, but I just don't know people who have that workflow. And itbis a biased sampling because of internet pricing, but on planes as I look around I mostly see windows or mac laptops for actual work. A few adults will have tablets, but mostly kids. Adults mostly have a phone reading a book or watching a movie.

At work it seems like developers don't care what the machine they are sitting at is as long as it has ssh and vscode with remote plugin and of course a browser.

Some domain specific tools don't work so well remotely and those people have whatever that software requires, sometimes as a VM but often on metal with a beefy workstation.

For generic office productivity I still see people using Microsoft.
To add to your points, since macOS is BSD derived, certainly the BSD package manager inspired it more (hence also why MacPorts is popular too from
2002 onwards)

Also, I agree with your last point. Comments like theirs are endemic of having too much of a hyper focus on what one is passionate about, and causing folks to miss seeing the bigger picture. There’s also a heavy recency bias involved.
At some point, it’s simply a matter of research, right?

Having a longer window provides more opportunities to study the disease and for treatments
Nope, that is just a matter of personal preference. Once you have ran enough you reach a level where you can just slow down a bit and running will be easy. I like the hard runs but I also like the easy relaxed runs. I recently did a casual very long run, 70 km, and the group of us ran at a relaxed pace, talked shit, stopped to eat several times and just chilled. I only started to get tired at around 62 km. It is like a hike but a bit faster (9 km/h while running) and running motion instead of walking.

Obviously if you do not want to plateau in your training you have to run hard some of the time, but not every run has to be hard.
Hah, just made a similar comment next to yours. 100%.
I've been using Linux exclusively since 2013. It's obviously possible. Screw the naysayers.

Also, hi Lars!! Hope you are well.
The demand for the work some of those people were doing only existed because of fantasy estimates of the value of a market.

When that fantasy evaporates, people face hardship.

Worker efficiency makes that more likely, not less.

The real question is if 10 years of fantasy chasing growth followed by a year or two of reality, is better or worse than constant hardship where we never allow the fantasy of chasing growth.
I would argue that Tesla is losing ground as a high status symbol, at least in the Bay Area. They certainly don't turn heads anymore, it's now Rivian, Lucid, Taycan, Ioniq 5, etc that are the talking points in the fancy grocery store parking lots.
Typing whole novels is a bit too much for me, as I lose interest in 20 mins or a day or two at best, so short content like articles and blogs would be much better.
Put your projects under work experience. Projects have the same stuff like working with other team members, working with customers, collecting payment for your product. It's literally just a start up so you may as well put it like one in your resume.
I've been reading comments like this for 15 years now.
I actually use this as a form of a canary when ssh keys must be reside in multiple systems -- in the case where a key is found outside of is proper place it identifies the source during investigations.
Typically the thing that keeps people from using Linux is their lack of comfort actually installing an operating system. Why do I believe this? Because smart phones are popular and Chromebooks are popular. A Chromebook is generally much _more_ restricted than Linux, and an Android or iPhone is at minimum a different user interface which cannot run the same software, or be installed the same way as Windows. But technically illiterate people have adapted to this just fine.
I think they're talking about lack of motivation to DIY. Yes, it is exponentally easier or cheaper, but the draw back then was "It was either impossible to get or ridiculously expensive to buy something you can DIY".

Nowadays it's mostly reversed, so many gadgets can be just bought for cheap, hell even if you want DIY what you will DIY changed massively.

Back in ye olde stuff like signal generator or power supply was probably the stuff you DIYed or made from kit, nowadays they are so cheap and so much better than whatever you'd make first. On flip side dev boards or breakout boards with various "fun" devices are aplenty so your first projects might be something actual EE might've spend week to build in the 90s

The "everything is a breakout board" might make people not start with the basics at first but in the end I think that lower barrier to entry is a good thing here
IRC has had encryption for a very long time. IRCS is typically on port 6697 but some admins also have it listen on 443 for people behind fascist firewalls.

anyone in IRC chat can still record everything just fine

I addressed this. Yes, someone can invite a bot in a channel they control and the channel operators can kick/ban a bot. Also people can achieve E2EE encryption using OTR. So in fact there are two layers of encryption, one of which individuals control and the IRC admin has no visibility into. There is an unsupported OTR custom client for Discord but it is against the terms of service.

Discord on the other hand has visibility into everything and no way for users to know this. Anything said on Discord in text or voice is a permanent transcription record. People are made to believe they can delete messages, but they are just flagged as deleted in Cassandra.

If I want a private voice conversation with someone or a group, I invite them to my private uMurmur server. There are clients for workstations and cell phones. Some people won't use such things and those are not people I would likely ever talk to anyway.
9 hr/day is not quality work. Quality work is 6 hr/day max.
Shannon’s work has already produced a whole lot of course, but I don’t think we’re anywhere near seeing the full outcome of his contributions yet.

Currently our computers operate by filling the transistors with charge and/or dumping it to ground. Who even cares about in information-theoretic efficiency in that case? The cost of the actual work done is dwarfed by the ancillary cost of running the machine.

If we ever move on to something less brute-force, like reversible quantum cellular automata, I think we’ll see him as an invaluable part in the chain of formalizing what information and computation mean physically.
