I think I can see where you're coming from (we engineers are implementers, and not in charge of the vision for the product, which is mostly true). But yeah, I still disagree with your point overall.

In my humble opinion, as engineers, it is still our responsibility to deliver value to the CTO/CEO and the company overall. Because engineers have the best understanding of the system, and often are the best counterpart to the business people. We guide them on what is and isn't possible, and even more than that, we often understand the business domain nearly as well as they do (from a more technical aspect).

Just off the top of my head, I worked at a US eCommerce company that was trying to open their site to new markets in Europe. The business people designed a flawed payment system because they had a poor understanding of how payments worked. A coworker of mine realized what they had done was wrong and would cost the company hundred's of thousands if it was used, and worked with the business people to rework it (see below for more info). He didn't simply follow what tasks he was given, he saw that he needed to step in and help them pick a better solution.

In the end, the goal of the job is to do work that improves the system and benefits the company. You could just focus on just being a great implementer (the ultimate hammer), but to me, this is not how a true software engineer thinks, but maybe how a lower level dev might work.

... And, the problem my coworker worked on was this: the business people decided if anything went wrong with payments in a foreign currency, the system would default to US dollars. This is a bad idea, because this will create enormous accounting headaches and greatly complicate the system. The best solution is surprisingly to let it fail. Yeah, if there is an error in a payment's currency, something is seriously wrong and we need to know about it.
Using Linux does not prevent you from getting traffic from Microsoft's IP space.
I'm nitpicking now, but it's not necessarily "this worked for me ergo do this" – it could also be a sprinkle of "the other skilled software developers I've observed have also done this". It's not much less anecdotal, but it does shift the perspective from "this is what I do" to "this is what I think matters for other people as well, based on my limited observations".
www.amazon.com sets cookies for (*).amazon.com, though. Session cookies (and affiliate info) could therefore still be accessed on smile.amazon.com. I think affiliate attribution is just discarded regardless of cookie presence.
This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I couldn’t figure out how to change the state of a toggle switch for a really long time. I kept trying to slide the switch left or right. Sometimes it worked, but often it didn’t. It wasn’t until I had been using an iPhone for a couple years that I discovered you’re just supposed to press it, not slide it. What a stupid design.
... which contradicts the hypothesis that k is the minimum. Therefore, K is empty.
Maybe, but based on what I saw in my mother and grandmother in their old age, I think androids in general (not just Boston Dynamic) have a long way to go just on the "accidentally terrifying" front, let alone capabilities. Even for me, things like the following video are the wrong side of uncanny valley:

I use 1Password on Linux and this isn't my experience.

Until recently I was using it for two different accounts in the same 1Password business account, one account enabled with integration to the desktop app and a second account on another browser profile (for admin purposes) with just the browser extension.

Neither of those necessitated logging in again in another tab.

Still using 1Password, but Firefox containers have removed the need for multiple Firefox profiles.

For a second business I use Bitwarden, and that works well, but I find 1Password superior in so many respects.
Yes, a hell where all the switches show the current state.
Indeed. Its surprising how quickly people are getting used to GPT's capabilities and dismissing it even. It wasn't that long ago that people were saying that making casual conversation, making an original joke or novel painting would be among the last things a computer would be able to do. Or that it would never happen.
I disagree, it simply would've taken longer. The West is democratic, and attitudes changed. In the mid-to-late 1800s, the prevailing philosophy justifying colonialism was rooted in racism, e.g. Kipling's "The White Man's Burden".

75 years after that was written, it was well outside the political mainstream.
It does have profiles, which can be used in the same way. Haven't used it in a while, I think the limitation is that you can't use a different profile per tab; you need a whole new window
Too verbose.

I personally prefer a balloon that says "x is on" that appears when you toggle the switch.
Hey Russ, I got your messages that my emails aren't coming through but I'm not sure why. As an alternative, you can reach me on IRC at ddevault on Libera Chat. I'm in CEST, but my bouncer is always online. Cheers!
I haven't found it particularly effective for code synthesis, however, I do use it extensively for fiction generation. While I don't use its output verbatim, it serves as a great source of inspiration and guidance. Additionally, I've found it to be an excellent resource for personal, relationship, financial, and self-improvement advice. Of course, it's important to use your own judgement and not take everything literally, but it has often led me to valuable reflections and insights.
So what is the unmet need behind an obsession with sexless/child-like figures?

My guess is unfulfilled (genetic) longing for a "real childhood", where a child does not have to take on adult roles. This means available, stable, supporting and functioning parent figures.

Not having fully experienced that leads to "holes in roles", which want to be addressed and re-nurtured one way or the other.
As an owner of tools and a former tradesman I can tell you exactly what was stolen out of my tool kit. I would file a report and the police should be able to match that with recovered property.

We got DDoSed by Microsoft once, since the marketing department sent out an email with a link to one of our low traffic services which generally handles maybe a few hundred requests a day, and tens of thousands of requests from Microsoft's email crawlers came in a very short time span and rendered our service unusable.
Off-topic: For a moment, I thought there was an article on HN about the great SCAMP boat. What a disappointment! ;-)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCAMP_(boat)
Most apps nowadays are HTTP APIs on top of a database, which means we have one networking layer – the HTTP API – on top of another networking layer – the database protocol. The idea behind using SQLite is to just skip the latter, which is simplifying the stack significantly and reducing the database latency, which is making things like 1+n not a problem anymore.

With a tool like LiteFS, it is now possible to get replication done by a sidecar process: https://fly.io/docs/litefs/
Ah, there's me confusing 'British restaurant chain' with 'restaurant chain in Britain'.

I'm sure the UK is by far their largest market though, and it has had an impact on 21st century UK popular culture far away and above any other restaurant.
Gaming Pathways
Optiver mentions that two orders sent via two different order pathways can be gamed in such a way that latter order reaches earlier to the exchange? How does one understand this and what data points are needed for the same?
Worth noting that Chrome has multiple profile support too, so you can keep work separate if you like. I don't think it's quite as powerful as Firefox containers though.

You're correct. They aren't breaking even anywhere, so presumably they also aren't breaking even in Japan.

Cool video for sure.

Wasn’t there a post the other day about Tesla’s self driving video was staged since it was the best take on multiple attempts?

Does anyone think this was not “staged” and carefully preprogrammed for a specific demo?

Not that it’s not impressive but still. I can’t have “staged” robots in my warehouse.

Because meat (particularly beef and lamb) is environmentally disastrous and ethically problematic, but a majority of people really like the taste and wouldn’t want to give it up.

Hence the desire to make a product that tastes like meat but is less environmentally damaging and doesn’t have the same ethical concerns.

You may not like the implications (as someone who really enjoys meat, I don’t) but the environmental arguments against red meat are pretty compelling.

It would work for most "classical" software development. In this case, the author talks about conformance tests (a HUGE collection) from an external vendor. Most of them will fail at first, then you make them pass slowly but steadily.

The problem becomes: I want to know if there are significant regressions in the vendor tests, ie. tests that were green for a long time and suddenly changed. You could flag any test that became green at some point as "required" to pass the CI, but then you have tests that randomly succeed or fail depending on code you have not yet written (eg. locking around concurrent structures). Marking these tests manually is impractical and could definitively be replaced by tooling that supports some statistical modeling of success/failure.

You may have the best testing strategy for internal code but as long as you have to test against these conformance tests it's simply unfeasible to say "sorry, only green allowed".

OK, it's 100% likely I saw it, just so rarely I can't remember.

Testing. Over that long time I have used many test frameworks. My normal workflow is to try and exercise all the code I write as I go.

On the other hand I am 100% pedantic about using 'schema' (https://pypi.org/project/schema/) to validate all the types, structure and domains when I read json.
Truth is the first time I check this, but theoretically it was also deployed by default to Firefox some months ago (and I see it activated in my Nightly install).

Have any of you seen/noticed a difference when TCP is enabled? I wasn't paying attention when it was deployed.

The history (and other stuff) wiping is something I'm thinking about doing, but just for "health". I tend to accumulate open tabs to review later... that I never review. I started doing it in my cell phone, opening all links by default in private/expendable tabs. If the apps closes, they're gone. If the link is interesting, I'll do the effort of manually saving it somewhere.
US domestic emissions have fallen slightly - much less than US manufacturing was moved overseas.

Also, I am definitely in no way advocating for authoritarianism. I'm advocating for realistic, charismatic politicians to present the real situation to people and help them understand the urgency of this threat to the future of the world.

Not to mention, there is plenty of room for reducing economic activity without materially impacting living conditions for the vast majority of consumers. All the cheap plastic crap being produced and shipped overseas is an obvious contender, which produces both massive emissions and additional, faster working pollution. Fast fashion and fast food need more care (as they are important to many poor people around the world), but more sustainable alternatives that reduce overconsumption without impact on basic necessity are certainly possible. Regulating and reducing advertising is a more indirect approach that would help revert the trend of encouraging massive overconsumption in all aspects of life (since one of the biggest focuses of modern advertising is simply to increase the whole market, and only incidentally to advocate for a particular brand).

And note that this very much is an emergency, even if the effects are slow to be seen. It's like a contamination with prions - if you don't stop it right this second, it will inevitably produce disastrous effects 5-10 years from now, with no possibility to stop it or even mitigate it later. Just because the disastrous effects will happen later in the future doesn't make the current moment any less of an emergency.

Without 20x margin trading, you can only be profitable running a spot exchange if you are in the top 3. Everyone below the top 3 has been operating in the red. Even the exchange that Binance bought has been operating in the red for years.

You cannot run a fully compliant exchange with trading, AML/KYC, and custody under one roof and be profitable. The IT controls and operational costs are too much. Moreover, there are not enough regulators in Japan with IT system experience to actually vet companies wanting to enter the market (see https://www.ft.com/content/75a05077-6ac8-4365-a8c5-28fc8928b... ). The salary differential between a civil servant and an IT systems auditor is really big. Companies, even if compliant, have to wait a long time to get their application process inspected. It took Coinbase 3 years to enter the Japan, which is quite bad.

I think the future will be splitting up the concept of exchange. I think only stable coin issuers will survive. You issue stable coins then let customers trade on DEXs. Stable coin issuers only deal with AML and some KYC. Since issuers can remotely freeze ETH addresses, AML is relatively easy as long as regulators don't be come too anal (unlike EU MiCA and FATF travel rule).
>Nuclear promises many things, but so far shows no signs of fulfilling them.

Last time I checked, France's nuclear power stations were keeping the lights on in Europe while Germany scrambles to start up coal plants.
For instance, I am opinionated... but I keep my opinions to my own (e.g., personal projects). When working with others I'm less likely to be like that because, well, everything is more subjective than it seems. From my point of view, there is nothing more junior than being fixated with the idea that tool X is the only tool for job Y.
That's a lovely proof. It has the "proof by absurdity" feel of the classic Euclidean proof, but without as much fiddling about with even numbers.
Impressive until it starts shooting at you and streaming in real life.
But now they have more information. Comments. Variable names. Decompiled code is difficult to read.
Touching on the writing point. Think of it as muscle memory, if you watch people put together PowerPoint slides you see that those who do it regularly can create a solid presentation quickly. As a developer, at some point you're going to be writing some basic technical specifications to decompose a project. Even if you've been only writing to yourself, having the ability to quickly pull together a document that communicates with others is an asset.
I'm not sure why this is even on the front-page now, given that it's been released for many years already, but in any case, here's my two cents about this topic:

Containers are a misunderstood technology. People think about them as a privacy feature, but that's far from real. The only benefit of containers is the ability to have different sessions of the same service in the same windows/profile. That's it. A good use case is when you need to work with multiple AWS accounts.

Cross-site tracking is already enabled by default since... 2018? So, using containers as a way of dealing with cross-site tracking is utterly unnecessary.
For discussion about it.

In response to asking about supporting multiple profiles between different tabs.

>Extraordinarily difficult. I would expect person-years of effort for this, as the link between profile and window is deeply ingrained throughout the code.

Chrome doesn't support containers because it would take a big investment that no one is currently willing to make. Google doesn't want to spend millions of dollars and deprioritize more important work for a niche feature that not that many people benefit from.
I assume they are looking for the profile of a browser engineer, which is not that rare
I know, I was trying to highlight how at the moment (like so many of these "innovative" startups) not much of substance is shown.

The article itself seems to alternate between deecribing something that already exists and the theoretical calculation about something that will (hopefully) be built.
What are you supposed to do about people who haven't got anywhere else to go to the toilet?

If you place them in custody, you might as well provide them with some basic housing that costs less than jail. They have literally nothing to lose from fines, court dates, tickets, probation. They don't have a toilet, what else are you going to take away from them.

The police are correctly judging that the need to defecate is not a criminal problem.
As a parent to 8 and 4yo children, fundamentally what they have right is the experience for families. My kids are entertained with colouring while they wait for food, which they love, almost all kids love pizza. It makes them feel they are in a "proper restaurant". While my wife and I can have a nice drink and good food and it doesn't break the bank. Catering to both kids and adults well is hard, that's what makes it a winner in our household.

Ask my kids where they would like to go out for dinner, it's always PizzaExpress.
Could you explain in more detail what makes it too much of a learning investment for you/what might improve it? It's always hard to see which bits are non intuitive when you've designed something.
Largest market yes, by far no. The UK has around 400 Nandos, South Africa around 350.
Not having a network-capable database limits you to only one server machine, which is a problem if your application is more than just a thin layer on top of a database. You usually want a separate worker process (or multiple) to do heavy computation in the background and often, it's useful to run it on a dedicated machine.

For example, you might run the app server and DB on an expensive highly available server, but keep your background workers on cheaper spot instances that might randomly get killed. Or you're running some heavy processing that needs different hardware like a GPU for machine learning.

You could, of course, implement API endpoints for that in your app, but then you need to keep updating it when the workers change. Or you could implement a more generic DB access endpoint, but then you're just reinventing a networked DBMS, but with worse performance and no library support.
Ok, that's a good point, that the real target is OSX.

Still, I don't think they are happy about SteamOS for example. I mean the absolute numbers are still very low, but if gamers start to see linux as a alternative, Windows might get a problem. And there is still a significant portion of linux only developers and not all of them are FOSS fanatics, but pragmatic, but still don't like the walled garden of OSX.

You’re absolutely right about the implementation details of Star Trek tech in the real world. But in the same way “The Lower Decks” is my favorite Star Trek series because we don’t know how much planning and logistics went into supplying the replicators on an Enterprise.

What’s the difference between storing massed of feed elements for replicators or storing canned goods? It’s really a matter of perception.
It doesn't have to, that's just the simplest way to set it up.

There are other possibilities. For example, in https://youtu.be/eb2DhCcGH7U you have to go round _three_ times to get back to where you started.
Exactly. It’s like the folks who say these things don’t understand they are defending criminal activity. Now, one can argue things like the sale of “illegal drugs” shouldn’t be illegal in the first place, but that’s an advocacy issue not solved by decentralized payments. All you do with decentralized payments is make it exponentially more efficient to engage profitably in illegal activity. Not exactly ideal given much of what constitutes illegal activity is well deserved to be outlawed (sex trafficking, murder for hire, etc…)
On iOS, you can either press it or slide it.

The problem is that a lot of websites have started using them and only implement the click/tap event, not the mouse press and move event, or the slide event. So they end up being quite misleading.
