I wonder how iCloud shutdown would affect this route, but: your Passkeys are synced to your devices locally, and the whole "scan QR code on another device with your phone to authenticate" flow is fully local, utilizing key authentication over BLE.

Theoretically, your Passkeys should still be on your iPhone/iPad/Mac/iThing, and QR authentication will work. (And then you provision another key on another device, since Passkeys' intention is like SSH keys, allowing multiple on a single account)

Alpha or not, is it usable? Because by all accounts windows 9x systems were alpha quality as well and millions of people were depending on it and accepting the shitshow.

So if ReactOS is still rated as alpha but has a similar stability as XP it is something I believe some people praising the windows 9x/NT UIs would be happy to use them.

I only tested it on a VM once in a while out of curiosity, tried some apps I knew but since I have been primarily a Linux user for decades and wasn't particularly fond of the windows UI those were all opensource apps I could run on Linux so I had little incentive to spend much more time on it. From the little I explored it was working.
How about people arguing on behalf of hypothetical / imaginary other people?
Nice article, but I'm not sure I like using the Deref trait just to make code "cleaner" - it does the opposite IMO, making it harder to understand what's going on.

Deref is convenient for builtin "container" types where the only thing you'll ever do is access the singular value inside it. But sprinkling it everywhere can get confusing ("why are we assigning a &str to a struct here?")
Although this judgement was in Germany, I don’t see a reason that it would not apply to any other EU state, and I haven’t found any case law that says that an IP address in isolation is not personal data.

Anyway, there’s no requirement for any piece of data to be independently identifying in order for it to come under the scope of personal data per GDPR.

A piece of information is personal data if it can be linked to an individual. This applies whether the linking can be done in isolation or only with other pieces of information, and whether the link is explicit or inferred, direct or indirect, and whether the controller/processor has immediate access to the other pieces of data or not.

Even if you rely on legitimate interest as a basis for processing personal data (and you might do, depending on your actual interests), you still have to do your paperwork, complete the PIAs and balancing tests.

> AI is too important to be left to a cabal of "specialists"

You do realize you're arguing against yourself, right? "Cabal of specialists" could also apply to the people who work on AI. For profit. Information asymmetry is well known to be the main cause of market failure. How is that cabal alone better than that plus people with other specialties such as ethics, plus everyone able to watch them all and decide for themselves whether that aligns with their own (or society's) interests?
Unpopular opinion (therefore throwaway account): avocado toast guy is right.

Sure, the math doesn't add up. An avocado toast and a coffee every morning won't add up to a real estate deposit. But that's not the point; the point is that people who are barely making ends meet having avocado toast at a coffee shop have the wrong mindset. I'd argue they are barely making ends meet because they're having avocado toast at a coffee shop, and multiple other expenses they can't responsibly afford. I've worked with young people barely making any money out of school, who still religiously went to the pub with their mates for the proverbial pint, and never skipped on Costa del Sol holidays.

I grew up in a lower-to-middle middle class household. Eating out was something we did on special occasions (some birthdays, high school graduation, etc). Travel and holidays were limited to the one holiday a year, to a beach 45 min away from where we lived. It does seem like young people these days have an incredibly distorted sense of what they "deserve" or what they can afford or what's "normal".

Now after decades in tech, a couple of stints at FAANG, I'm pretty comfortable financially. There's a lot of things I can afford in the strictest sense of the word (a 300k Lambo, a boat, whatever), but I know better than to spend money on things I don't really need just because I have enough money to buy them.

Love avocado toast but are on minimum wage? Go to the store, buy bread and avocado, make your own goddamn toast, and organise a picnic with your friends in the nearest park.
So? We also don't live in the middle ages and the reality of our lives today is that many people believe in these antisemitic tropes which spread in these fashions.

> how do you explain the European people supporting their governments assisting Ukrainians

I'm European and I still have to meet someone ready to sacrifice something for Ukraine. People are extremely worried about the state of our economy, much more so than they are about what's happening in Ukraine.

I keep hearing members of the elite like Stoltenberg talking about being ready to make sacrifices for Ukraine, but Stoltenber won't actually have to sacrifice anything. A 50% rise in the cost of living won't affect his lifestyle in the slightest, while it will destroy the livelihood of many families.

In any case, we've all been subjected to unprecedented levels of propaganda. It's not a surprise that many feel more concerned about what's happening in Ukraine than in Yemen.
You're ignoring the context of the post. This is advice for what a new grad should do right now in this particular economy.

You're right that grad school is more effective after working a few years, but its still a better option that starvation if you can get into grad school with a stipend.

And if you throw away the resumes of someone who went straight to grad school, you're just missing out on a lot of good candidates.
It doesn't have to start with something else. It can become something else due to the myriad of "checkboxes" that the industry uses in order to see what will be made.
YYMV: I'm on an OnePlus 8 using the Microsoft Authenticator App. OS update changed the PIN pad, which in turn soft-broke the M$ authenticator app's PIN lock security, rather than presenting a PIN pad to enter my PIN code, it now presents a full QWERTY keyboard... making it excedingly annoying to enter my PIN - to the point where I simply disabled the PIN lock on the app (not on my phone, obviously).

So yeah, MFA fatigue is a thing and a PIN lock on the notification is not going to survive for very long given these OEM shenanigans...

Edit: Also M$ Auth app offers no proper export of my MFA keys, so I am stuck in this walled garden :')
I personally would care if my own rhetoric matched that of a government committing human rights atrocities against civilian populations on a scale not seen since WW2, but that's me.

> There has never been any particular virtue in HTML being an SGML vocabulary. No one that mattered (which mainly means browsers) cared about SGML

You can care about browsers, I care about documents and that they can be read and understood in a couple decades still. Preferably without kissing the ring of an ad company.

Defining your own vocabularies and SGML is also directly mentioned in the paper being discussed. SGML lets you define your own custom language and mapping to HTML as output/rendering language without further tools.

> SGML is a hideous, complex beast that no one wants to work with

As opposed to what? The web platform specs covering all of HTML, CSS, and JS roughly a thousand times the size of the SGML spec? Have you actually studied SGML or implemented a parser for a markup language, or are you repeating what you've heard elsewhere?

> And the current HTML parser is the best thing since sliced bread and my favourite popular file type spec by a large margin despite its size, because it’s clear, unambiguous, and implementable.

Which version of WHATWG HTML5? Oh, WHATWG don't bother versioning their phone-book sized specs. And parsing breaks all the time; eg. current head doesn't contain the param element anymore (as content of the object element still in the spec) which however requires that no end tag is specified, hence a parser for current WHATWG HTML will fail hard in the presence of param elements (similar story with legacy elements such as keygen). Then there are new "boolean attributes" being introduced all the time requiring special rules/markup declarations ...

With respect, the argument isn't particularly relevant anyway as those specs aren't aimed at folks having difficulties following a formal language spec/grammar but need procedural step-by-step instructions instead.

That's not proportional, by design even. The whole game here is to do a small amount of work and multiply the gains by an infinite number of results from people using the bot.

That's always the game with any kind of technology. So no, having a few people experience something bad so billions can avoid experiencing anything bad ever does not cancel out.

Crime is not the appropriate word but there's clearly a well documented history of abusing conditions toward data labeling workers [1] [2] [3]

For those looking for an AI data labeling service also tries to help workers along the way, here's a plug to the company I started "dataprep.be" [4]

We have a small preference for working workers with special needs (deaf, mute and employees with small handicaps). Public subsidies for these type of workers help our case in the EU as well as contraints for some public institutions in the EU to hire more handicap workers.

With clients more sensitive to costs, we also work with remote data labelers from developing countries. We help putting checks in place to limit forced and child labor. We pay 5% extra so they have time to learn high demand tech skills. (Using Khan Academy and free access to a normally 250$/year Datacamp subscription)

Somewhat unrelated but a remark of yours was interesting to me. You mentioned PhDs sometimes have previous engineering experience; did you find it common for ML PhDs to have waited a few years before entering a program? I’m exploring doing the same but had thought the ship had sailed, now that I’m in industry.
Sort of. Being effective in nearly any role requires interpersonal skills, and it's not unreasonable for the strength of one's professional network to play a role in landing interviews. Of course at one extreme, pure nepotism does exist as the "opposite of meritocracy" you bemoan -- but that hardly represents the majority case, where human connection and evidence that someone, somewhere, was glad to have worked with you, improves your perceived strength as a candidate.

TLDR even if you write code for a living, your career is still all about people.
I can think of few better outcomes than someone "taking advantage of" 200,000 people living in Kibera slum in Nairobi by giving them $10/day desk jobs. Or some of the poorer rural populations. Or the hundreds of thousands some of the refugee camps.

That would be transformational.

Dissect and vivisect it.

I turn a new-to-me codebase into a literate program using org-mode, creating all the links I need and documenting as I go (since most systems are grossly underdocumented). Writing tests and using a debugger/tracer/whatever to follow the executable's flow. I have git ignore the .org files and periodically tangle the source files to ensure I haven't introduced unintended changes (as seen using git diff). The org files are for me, and I turn them into documentation for other people if the whole team is new to a system (like when it transfers from one org to another for whatever reason).

I don't think there's really any way to shorten the curve, but this has the effect of focusing my efforts at understanding. Previously I'd just poke about haphazardly, turns out that's too unfocused to be effective for me. It leads to a narrow understanding of the system instead of the desired broad understanding of it.
MechE so I don’t fit your CS/EE ask exactly. I posted this before, tech is a small percentage of engineering. There’s plenty of good engineering jobs out there. Sure, the pay and benefits won’t be as good as tech but it’s still fulfilling in its own way. And you’ll still make a relatively cushy wage where you should be able to thrive, not just survive.

You can have a PhantomData without a bar field. You could have baz and qux fields as well. The compiler does not know the lifetime in the phantom data is connected to any other field whatsoever. It doesn’t look through the other fields searching for *const T. It’s just a lifetime and is connected to T, not any particular pointer to T. The bar field happens to have a T in it, so the T: 'a constraint does apply to what you store inside the pointer, but the *const T is lifetime-erased as it relates to the pointer, so you have to ensure that the lifetime of the *const T matches up with the lifetime your Foo type claims it has (in its documentation). You must do that manually by constraining the struct creation and field access. You would also typically have a safe method to turn bar back into a borrow in some way (like IterMut::next does) and when you do, you will want to be sure that the pointer is actually valid for the lifetime you say it is.*
I think most people here are more interested in how many full time salaried employees Amazon has and what percentage do these layoffs contain? And then additionally how many people that are in product/engineering affected?
I used to have Wi-Fi connection issues that magically went away when I swapped my Linksys Velop network for an eero Pro system. HomeKit works every time now, there are never any unresponsive devices, and all my HomePods work great. I'm not sure this is a HomePod issue based on how immediately the router switch helped.
Is that as slow as it used to be on Windows 10? In my experience it didn't compare at all to a native Linux distro.

Agreed because this time the asset bubble extends well beyond tech. This is a much larger problem and will take much longer to unwind, cutting much deeper than that.

How do you accomplish that for a programming language? Make the language open source but sell a proprietary debugger? And how does that solve the problem corporations controlling languages, given that you would presumably have a corporation controlling at least the proprietary components?
Ah you found it! Didn't think anyone would try that. :D
It’s not a sentiment. It’s the definition of taking advantage of. Of course there are various arguments for justifications, but it doesn’t change the situation.

I also didn’t suggest anything like paying way over market.
a lot of tech companies approached hiring from an anti-competitive perspective. they hired staff they didn't need, in order to keep them off the market and pull the oxygen out of the room for startups that might eventually threaten their dominance in the 5-10 year timescale. the old "rest and vest" type thing. companies are now reducing headcount down to a level that's more commensurate with actual business needs.

same thing happened in the 2000s... mass layoffs resulted in a wave of new startups and competitors in the 5-10 year timescale. forest fires clean out the accumulated undergrowth and allow a new lifecycle to begin. not to imply that it sucks any less for anyone who lost their job, but, this is a release of anticompetitive pressure and it'll probably be a long-term net positive for the market overall.

You have really good newer methods of auth. Instead of selling them as good MFA alternatives security vendors decided to replace passwords because that differentiates them more. But in reality, the layer of defense "what you know" should be complemented not replaced. A reduction in security being sold as a feature is dishonest and harmful.
