Good feedback, trying to condense all the info is tough but will obviously evolve. Pretty awesome to think this is our worst version and will only get better from here.
I think you've mistaken me for a unit testing (your restricted definition) and TDD zealot. I wouldn't aim for 100% code coverage using the restricted definition of unit testing you've provided, or any other testing mechanism. The lines you're missing coverage for, in particular, are ones where syscalls fail. Those are hard to force in general, and I'm not going to be bothered to mock the whole OS and standard library. I do see a way to cause `open` to fail, though, you can change the permissions to /dev/null, but that doesn't get you your desired version of a unit test that doesn't touch the file system.

At some point, I, and probably most people, operate under the assumption that we don't need to test (ourselves) that syscalls will do what they say they will do. Until they actually fail to act correctly and then I'd investigate it, and write tests targeting it to try and reliably replicate the failure for others to address since I'm not a Linux kernel developer.
When I was locked up in the feds I worked at an electronics recycling facility in the prison and we would get old Russian space program stuff like this all the time from NASA to tear down and recycle. The coolest thing was something the tag from NASA said was a "Russian Piano Console" not sure exactly what it was and can't find any info on the net today about it.

The damage could have been much more difficult to repair.

"If the windings within the transformer itself were damaged, it would probably require replacement of the equipment. Transformers of this scale are rarely manufactured without an order, which means we don’t have a lot of spares sitting around, and the lead time can be months or years to get a new one delivered, let alone installed."
The story says the black hole was "wreaking havoc in the Kuiper belt," which implies that it's not very big (else it would be wreaking havoc in the entire solar system). So spaghettification on a human timescale is quite possible!

Assuming “there’s no reason to be concerned” about the unborn children of a high profile, convicted criminal is awfully naive. In the real world, good parents don’t abandon their kids at birth. They also don’t defend criminals who abandon their kids.

How selfish.
Are you saying that all the tech companies are conspiring to lay off workers to cause the employment rate to drop from its near record levels so that the Fed will panic and reduce interest rates?

They're going to have to lay off a lot more people to move the needle aren't they?

Also, if the US really did start having to deal with the absurd horseshit Russia has been inflicting on Ukraine via missiles, we'd probably be much more sympathetic to Ukraine.

As far as I know, this is one of the first major armed conflicts where the power grid has been sucha focused target. It's beyond my imagining to think how Ukraine has been coping with this. The article points out how slow & plodding the supply chain is for this kind kf equipment. That's an awful fact of today's economy. America in particular I'd expect to be extra plodding in response.

Bitcoin maximalism has immediate parallels to religious doctrine that regular currencies do not.

1) Divine creator whose existence is impossible to prove

2) A holy book: (whitepaper) that's taken as absolute truth and therefore doesn't require any revisions or updates. Proposed changes to core beliefs create split factions (BTC v BCH, Old v New Testament, or the Shia-Sunni split in Islam).

3) Monotheism: Belief in the primacy of Bitcoin blockchain over all other competing chains, and warning of divine punishment for apostates (NGMI).
Sure, but no promises on how long that might take. :-)
Electromagnetic locks are better suited for gateways that are open by default. I can't imagine why someone would create a vault dependent on electricity.

> Rather than compromising or de-escalating, he raised it to the level of a political issue asserting that his civil rights (of free speech) were under attack

Curiously, in doing so, Linehan chanced upon an actual civil rights movement, of women losing single-sex spaces to males who choose to identify as women, and started championing this instead.

Though, many gender critical feminists find Graham's unasked-for presence in their activism rather embarrassing and irritating due to his generally quite aggressive behavior and his occasional bouts of sexism.
Is it just me or is it impossible to find from this source link any _real details_ about the actual RCE?

* This post claims an RCE being exploited and warns people not to play.

* It links to Rockstar forums where people are warning about the game being exploited but provide no details on the attack vector or indicators of compromise.

* It links to a screenshot of a tweet of some random person again warning not to play but doesn't provide any useful detail.

* The _original source_ linked in this post is a tweet with some screenshots of a mod that clearly indicates some game modifications but says nothing about an RCE.

Can anyone point to an authoritative source with real technical details?

> Cheaters have been rampant for many years, with people using apparently purchased cheat tools that allow them to choose to do server-side things like drop unlimited money and spawn vehicles anywhere, rapidly cycling through weather changes, and locking people permanently in cages.

First I ever played with friends, we were driving down a highway, stopped by spikes that killed our tires, and someone spawned bags of money in front of us. I took a few million, logged out, and did not touch GTA till many years later. I remember I also bought cars and apartments with my friend, I figure we didnt have impossible amounts of money, so Rockstar would never ban us, sure enough, we were fine.

I played a year back with the same friend, but despite there being less hackers, I hate not being able to do gameplay more isolated to just friends, even if you lock out some missions.
I wonder why!
You can. It's just if you do disconnect from Apple entirely, then certain features like Visual Lookups break - unsurprisingly.

Not sure why there is this persistent myth that you can only use Apple tech if "connected" to Apple.
I too found that noteworthy.

Here's some speculation. I think there is an agreement between the government and SBF's NY-based lawyers. The lawyer SBF had in the Bahamas was not aware of it. In order to get him to come to NY instead of staying the Bahamas and fighting extradition, the government made concessions. One of those was that SBF would not have to spend any more time in pre-trial detention facilities. Meanwhile, the government's agreements with Ellison and Wang and their plea hearings were kept secret while SBF was being transported to NY. The NYTimes published some information about this some time ago.

The bail amount, announced as the highest on record or some such, was obviously chosen as some sort of publicity stunt. It seems to me that SBF and his family knew he was not going to sit in a detention center in Manhattan no matter what the bail amount. This is why the bail application could specify two additional bonds but no one even knew at the time who would be the sureties for these, nor what would be the amounts.

It was all part of an agreement.

I would guess the sureties will be a sibling and a relative, e.g., his aunt. We may never know because the names might remain redacted.

It seems like much of it is rooted in methods that have kind of fallen by the wayside due to the incredible success of modern techniques.

TBH, that's one reason I find this interesting to begin with. It's a pet interest (obsession?) of mine to look for ideas that have been "left behind" and forgotten about prematurely for whatever reason. I suspect that from time to time there's a technique / idea / whatever lying out there in the sands of history just waiting for somebody to pick it up, dust it off, and turn it into something amazing.

Sming: Framework for Embedded C++ Applications
> Nest Hub type product is I think the only one with user facing UI, and an extremely limited one; really more an appliance

And that took them probably 5x longer than they told mgmt it would and missed multiple deadlines.

(I worked on the product for its original launch, and before it was all rewritten for Fuchsia)

The whole world of shipping multiple OSes and home software stacks at Google was a minefield of politics, turf wars, and "shipping the org chart" that was just painful to watch and be a close spectator to. Much dysfunction.

BTW, I don't think any third party devices run Chromecast Linux; that was always only first party devices when I was there. The third party stuff was running Android generally.

We shipped the first round of the Home Hub stuff running on a Chromecast stack with a UI written in HTML/TypeScript, and it worked pretty good. Then a few months later they decided to rewrite the whole thing from scratch in Dart/Flutter and replace the whole OS with Fuchsia for some reason. So a whole elaborate transitional shim layer was built to get Dart/Flutter UI to host on the Chromecast distrib, while the Fuchsia people did their own thing that would also run the same UI. Every little had to be re-built from scratch, on an already shipping and successful product. It was insanity.

This string of high-tech layoffs this feels like a wage-war to me.

At some point engineers & scientists of various disciplines need to form country-wide unions. Imagine for a moment that CS & software engineers, electrical engineers, MechE's, ChemE, CivE's, etc. formed unions and then maybe collaborated to occasionally act an unified super-union.

Those unions would wield incredible power over national economic policy and the dealings in a lot of company board rooms.
ELI5 the value a “prompt engineer” provides
not done much digging, but my naive understanding is that a "prompt engineer" crafts statements which, when used with a user's input, elicits a more accurate/desirable result from whatever model they're interfacing with.

Assuming that's the case, how is that role not BTFO by shifting that responsibility to the model by tuning it better(?) to return the desired response from a naive input, or by requiring the user to craft the higher-quality prompts themselves (probably not desirable.)

The few sources I've come across appear more hand-wavey than anything, would appreciate some technical insight if possible.
Now it’s docker pull and editing a compose file or setting env variables.

IANAL, but I thought corpus delicti only means there needs to be evidence that the crime has been committed, not that the crime has been committed by the person confessing to it.

So if they find a body with multiple stab wounds and I go in and say I stabbed the person, I can be convicted. If I say I murdered Audrey Farber, and the police can't even find a record of an Audrey Farber gone missing, then I can't be convicted because there's no evidence than an Audrey Farber was murdered at all.

It might all be chance, but Ive visited a few Roman religious sites that appear to be built on top of earlier sacred sites and it makes me think that the Romans just slapped their temples down on top of other religious places and carried on with the rituals.

Same reason why people create doorknobs and car locks that depend on electricity. Also this: https://www.protoolreviews.com/lockdown-logic-vault-door-cre...

That being said I'm sure it's a bug. I'm sure whomever made this security thing accounted for power outages. But I'm sure some loop hole appears during that power outage that the builders didn't anticipate.

Also yes, obviously it's some security thing that has to do with power not necessarily a vault door. That was just an example.
> Kubernetes, Istio, knative and an internally developed specification for “hardening” containers are now the default software development platform across the military.

I'll go back and read the rest after I've stopped laughing. But seriously, no. Not the default platform across the military, not by a long shot. DOD and defense industry dev is woefully behind the times with a few pockets of "oh fuck, they're ahead or caught up with industry". By a few, I mean touching somewhere around 0.0000001% of the total work, maybe less.

I saw Chaillan's name and description as USAF CSO while reading the article and was confused, he left in 2021 and checked the date of the article. This was published in December 2019, that line is even richer coming from over 3 years ago.

Looks like it's mostly related to Microsoft's inability to sell to the Pentagon, which seemed like a big use case and a way to make up for their costs:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-18/microsoft...

"Microsoft won’t be getting more orders for its combat goggles anytime soon after Congress earlier this month rejected the US Army’s request for $400 million to buy as many as 6,900 of them in the current fiscal year. The rejection of the request, in the $1.75 trillion government funding bill approved in December, reflects concern over field tests of the goggles, which are adapted from Microsoft’s HoloLens headsets. The tests disclosed “mission-affecting physical impairments,” including headaches, eyestrain and nausea."

I have to imagine this will happen with other VR headsets, given theirs was more fleshed out than others.
Eh, I think there's always the danger of lack of urgency in a large corp and instead enjoy tweaking forever, but it ships on millions of devices, so it's not vaporware by any means. I just hope Google doesn't end up strangling it organizationally because they can't bring themselves to actually pull the trigger and replace the core of Android with it.
Amazing, isn't it - people love to act like if you don't buy an Apple device they will send jack booted thugs to confiscate your non-Apple tech. Sigh...
My mother (quite the opposite of a techie) complains about how hard it is to find stuff on Google - especially unbiased stuff that isn't being promoted by a company or individual with a promotional / commercial agenda.

Especially Perf(now GRAD)-evaluated people who care about promotions and performance reviews. Which is of course completely normal, not blaming the individual engineer here.

It's arguable. No one is so valuable that they could never be let go, laid off, or fired, regardless of circumstance. That much is true, sure. But I have certainly seen projects veer off course, wither and die, or else crash and burn due to a coworker's involuntary departure. They were irreplaceable. Not that it saved their skin. Projects with a bus factor of roughly 1 happen from time to time, so the person who happens to equal that factor is de facto irreplaceable. The organization will move on as if everything's fine, but the loss of certain individuals may be far more expensive than anyone in charge is willing to acknowledge.
