I have a similar methodology, and you can even use a spreadsheet to assign values across multiple factors. For example, we may use a series of 1's and 0's to represent:

Expected - Do customers expect this feature from us? (e.g. competitors)
Wow Factor - Does building this make our users go wow?
Need by Others - Is this a dependency for other items?

The more factors, the more divisive the points are, and plotting them makes it easy to understand and visualize what to go build next or where we might need more resources

Funny story about New Relic: The name is an anagram of the CEO's, "Lew Cirne". Not sure if that's widely known, but he just used it as a placeholder while working as an entrepreneur in residence at a VC fund for his next project, and it stuck.

I ordered pizza online and tipped in advance, and then when I signed the receipt there was an "additional tip" field. Utterly baffling.
It's a mandatory tip so we view it just like the restaurant that adds a mandatory 20% on a party of 6 or more. We'll pay it but we're not going to pay an additional tip. 20% (or 18% if you think it's not going to the wait/kitchen staff) is rather generous so please...
Sorry for taking this unfortunate shortcut!

Wow this is some Chinese level of censorship. Never understood why a country needs to bother with maintaining its perceived image. Just issue a statement & move on.
So an executive worth billions of dollars and making tens of millions a year with no risk of being laid off has the same skin in the game as the employees making in the lower to mid six figures who get laid off?

The skin in the game being referred to is losing their job, not losing some fractional percentage of their net worth.
Dispute the charge with your credit card. Plain simple, evidence is there.
Good luck for the restaurant doing this over and over.
> Why does everything need to be "disrupted"? If the business is doing well with what it has, maybe that's fine. Worse is when a company starts spraying new ideas at the wall, hoping to find something that sticks.

prefect. we both agree to this.

with this idea in mind how do Amazon justify so much hiring?

what the people do all day?

this my point. bloated bureaucracy growing without doing anything new or disruptive. instead of more efficient.. just growing headcount for promotions and ego. it massive GRIFT.

as a shareholder in amazon do not believe the layoffs go far enough. they run business like charity. company like amazon coddling economic elite class who do little valuable work.

I agree that these are all examples of justice system employees abusing their positions, but the examples given are slightly short of the original claim of "delivering inmates and redirecting profits", which implies some sort of concerted effort to send more people to jail for the purpose of enriching oneself. That's present in the cash 4 kids scandal, but really present when a corrections employee is mistreating prisoners. I certainly don't think the people
T-Mobile's pricing is quite straightforward (but more expensive than you state).

$50/line for 2 lines, $10/watch for 2 watches, $5/line for international plan adds up to 130/month and I pay 130/month, nice round flat numbers for years now taxes/fees/etc are all rolled into the advertised price and not hidden after the fact.
So everything about the human body and how it operates is just obvious to you?
I doubt that. Radar is extremely easy to detect. Anyone who wants to know about it will know it's there.
In my experience, COBRA ends up costing about 2.5x for employees who've left a company that subsidizes their insurance premiums.

Perhaps it's more reasonable if it's for a single young person with a high deductible. The last time I was on COBRA, the cost was unbelievable. For a family of 4, it was over $3k per month, and that was 5 years ago.
Ask the rest of the planet and they'll call these mission hipsters equally privileged.

That's less safe, though: in a request handler that catches panics, you'll leak connections but stay running if something snags in the row collection logic you write, which isn't what you want.

> Unfortunately — and Shel was well aware of this very quickly, but of course by that time, it was too late — ISBNs are terribly abused in the United States. The company that issues ISBNs, Bowker, charges a lot of money for ISBNs (from the perspective of small publishers, anyway), and publishers don’t necessarily read all the rules. Small publishers were re-using ISBNs, and they also took their range of ISBNs and numbered through the entire range, rather than respecting the rule that the final character is actually a checksum, and you can only iterate through some of the digits. (It’s actually worse than just not using the last digit, but I’m not getting into that here.)

If there's a single company issuing them how are there companies using ones with invalid checksums?

Edit: eh, that comment didn’t really say much. What I meant was that there are classes of algorithms that are stateless. Maybe the most useful are proofs.

Look, I’m a C++ dev. I live and breathe state. Weird, mostly-working gadgets are the real humans of the world.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t use linear types and write unit tests for my function composition. Sure, I’ll let closures capture their context, and I’ll allow pass-by-reference in my APIs, but that doesn’t mean I encourage it.

The main target of Wine is x86 Linux not ARM macOS. MacOS doesn't support Vulkan and so that version of Wine is missing DXVK and Vkd3d for better game performance and support. It's a completely different experience.

Plus with Steam on Linux you don't need to run the Windows version of Steam at all. The native client will let you install Windows games using Proton (Valve's modified Wine essentially) by checking a box. Most stuff works very well and it's how the Steam Deck does it's thing. Some titles actually work better than they do on modern Windows like Jedi Knight II which has 3D acceleration support on Linux through Wine but not Windows 10 native.

Humans are Feudal creatures by instict - thats why feudalism lasted thousands of yeats.

This is the brain disease of American politics, anyone pointing out injustice of any kind is accused of Marxism.

The only acceptable way for society to evolve is ever-increasing privilidges for the wealthy untill average man can never hope to afford real estate and can't afford a layer.

Then we will arrive at feudalism.
Another reason I really like open core, besides the reasons mentioned, is that suggesting and collaborating on features that I'd like is a much better experience through GitHub or GitLab than it is via some terrible support channel where I know it's never going to be seen ever again.
Do doctors not routinely recommend pre/probiotics to replenish gut microbiota these days? I've had multiple discussions with medical professionals that would indicate they are on board with the idea. To whit, I had to take strong oral antibiotics for a serious bacterial throat infection I had last year, and afterwards saw a significantly diminished ability to cope with spicy foods (I love spicy food). The doctor suggested probiotics and that seemed to help a lot.

Interestingly, the body of research around fermented foods (kefir [sic], yogurt, kimchi, etc) seems to show more robust benefits than probiotic supplements[1].

Boy ... I m shocked that nobody understands this. This is plain simple math.
A JIT is not, by itself, unsafe. The problem is that maintaining the complex set of constraints and invariants necessary to generate both safe and performant code is extremely difficult, and one slip-up can mean generating code that breaks some invariant and escapes a safety boundary.

You can have simple JITs that are completely safe: they generate code to bounds- and type-check unconditionally and avoid fragile optimizations. But, if you want to go faster, you have to start dropping checks and performing aggressive optimizations (peephole, inlining, object layout tricks, …) and every new optimization is an opportunity to make a mistake.

PAC and friends are an effort to make the hardware support certain checks more efficiently. But again, as they are an extra check, there’s always the chance that they’ll be slower than the unchecked alternative; if so, you can bet that one day an engineer looking to get a 0.5% perf gain will try removing those checks (“safely”) and we’ll be back to square one.
> Remote attestation will make it so you "can" technically run your own hardware and software (and that's what the FUD-spreaders will always say), but you'll be denied access to lots of, increasingly online, services.

It's good to raise awareness of the centralization risks of remote attestation. One pro-security, pro-freedom alternative is local attestation, e.g. to a USB security key running OSS firmware under user control. Widespread use of user-controlled attestations would make it harder for cloud services to impose unilateral requirements, requiring negotiation among competing objectives.

One remote attestation scenario could be disaggregation of critical apps into dedicated on-device VMs which look like cloud lambdas/functions/unikernels. Remote attestation could be done for a special-purpose VM (e.g. banking), leaving other general purpose OS VMs unrestricted. This is possible today with Windows Hyper-V on secured-core x86/Arm hardware, Android 13 with the pKVM hypervisor on Pixel 6/7 hardware, and the HP/Bromium AX hypervisor.

> what are they going to say when it's supported in Linux and we open source it ... the Pluton team also uses Linux daily, builds TWO Microsoft Linux distros, and upstreams Linux kernel features.

On servers, a forward-looking approach is being taken with OCP Caliptra, an open root of trust that will precede booting of the main SoC (including Pluton) and mandates open firmware that must be dual-signed by both the OEM and the datacenter owner. It is an early attempt to forestall ME/PSP/BMC Groundhog Day. If it succeeds on OCP servers (where datacenter owners have power to negotiate with OEM/ODMs), perhaps more transparency and owner control/veto can be brought to client devices, https://twitter.com/platformsec/status/1533398356088737793.

It seems like it would have to be an overstatement to say that any form of money was the norm for “all” of human history.

New Wiki Sucks?

It sounds like you buy a range of numbers and publishers use invalid ones in that range rather than pony up for more of them.
Assembly -> C is not the same as C/Python/Java -> Natural Language. C is not a natural language, so there is no ambiguity in C code (undefined behavior does not really count). Compilers that can compile from one programming language to another exist today. I can imagine an LLM being used to speed up the building of this compiler, but even here, like in self-driving, the hard part is going to be ensuring 100% accuracy, which the LLM seems particularly ill-suited for.
Law and practice can often be different. Often "the agreement" is cash tips are not declared on taxes, and you don't hassle the company when you make an hourly shortfall. My impression is that arrangement is far more common than companies actually making sure you get minimum wage every hour.

Breaking the JIT is just the first step for most browser exploits. The JIT lives in the renderer process, which is heavily sandboxed in modern browsers. To do anything useful, an exploit usually has to compromise the browser process with a second bug (“sandbox escape”). Rewriting the browser part in e.g. Rust would be a great step towards closing off that avenue of attack.

Asking A Brief History of Time:

"What was the universe like shortly before the big bang?"

> "Shortly before the Big Bang, the universe was incredibly hot and dense, with all matter and energy concentrated into a single point. This point contained all the mass and energy of the entire universe, and it was expanding at an incredibly rapid rate. This expansion created space and time, and eventually, the universe as we know it today."

"Why can't we know what the universe was like before the big bang?"

> "The Big Bang marks the beginning of the universe as we know it, so it is impossible to know what the universe was like before it. We can, however, make educated guesses based on the laws of physics and the data we have collected. For example, some theories suggest that the universe may have undergone a period of inflation before the Big Bang, which could explain why the universe is so large and homogeneous."

It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out, seems like a lot of people in both parties are pushing for this. Hopefully it also leads to a greater scrutiny towards the other social media companies. I'd rather this was pushed as a broad data security bill that target all of the social media giants rather than just targeting one of them, but this could be seen as a good first step.

Hopefully the Chinese government doesn't lash out about this. They certainly have a long history of blocking US based websites.

Also:

"Why is space flat?"

> "Space is flat because of the Cosmological Principle, which states that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic. This means that it is the same in all directions and on all scales, so it appears to be flat. The Cosmological Principle is supported by observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, which is the most distant light that can be detected."

"Why is space curved?"

> "Space is curved because of the presence of matter and energy. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity is not a force, but rather a consequence of the curvature of space and time caused by the presence of mass and energy. This curvature of space causes objects to move along curved paths, which explains why the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun."

From the report it was recovered from backup files at the system level, it wasn't as simple as a save game file or whatever.

The case is "LZMOD A24 V3" - found it on caseend.com - there are smaller ITX cases, but I wanted to fit in standard components only, and not to mess with custom PSUs (for example).

The rest of the components are:

Board: AsRock Rack X570D4I-2T (2x 10GBe and IPMI!)

NVMe: 2TB Transcend TS2TMTE220S TLC

SSD: 2x 8TB Samsung 870 QVO

PSU: Seasonic SSP-300SUB (overkill, went for longevity)

CPU Cooling: Thermalright AXP-100 Series All-Copper Heatsink with Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM

Exhaust fans: 2x INEX AK-FN076 Slimfan 80mm PWM

On the air intake side, there's a filter sheet that I replace (or vacuum) once in a blue moon - the insides are still pristine after running for over a year now.

Interesting thing about cooling: one of those cases has a PSU with custom made cabling (reduced cables by about 90%). I was hoping it will reduce the temperatures a bit. Surprisingly there was basically no change. At full load all keep running at around 70 celsius.

Important: in such a small case, if you want silence you'd better disable AMD's "Core Performance Boost". This will make the CPU run at its nominal frequency, 3.4GHz for 5950x, otherwise it'll keep on jumping to it's max potential, 4.9GHz for 5950x, which will result in more heat, and more fan noise.
