What I tried to convey in my Haiku but better described!

I'd add to that, Andreas is creating his own memory-safe compiled language to build components for the OS. Jakt has already been used to build things, including its own compiler.

Also I think what makes both HaikuOS and Serenity compelling is the common vision and clear direction: Aiming to recreate then improve BeOS has given HaikuOS project a clear steer ahead, while Andreas' clear guidelines and monorepo has done the same for SerenityOS.
I like the idea of trying to solve this problem!

Here's an idea:

- Require a photo of the author with a photo of gov-issued id.

- Maybe require a dated piece of paper or a Clarkesworld word-of-the-day in the photo.

- If submitter is from a country with hard-to-get gov-id, or just doesn't have/want it, their submission goes in the extra scrutiny pile.

I'm not too keen on requiring gov id, so maybe someone has a better idea?

I'm pretty sure you just need to increase friction for spammers in meatspace to solve this. I'm not saying this is scalable, but we're just trying to fix it for Clarksworld.
Fiber might be but good luck having good pings to Nvidia data centers. Unless this would scale similarly to Netflix with boxes in ISP's own data centers I see small chance of this succeeding.

deep sleep is enough.

idle means the computer is turned on, a Mac on idle consumes less power than an x86 on idle, they both consume ~zero in deep sleep.
Yes, now Ethereum is a security because it went PoS and it promises yields for staking.

But Bitcoin still consumes electricity of an entire small country.
Article doesn't mention emerging trust and DLP issues with freely-available LLMs processing and aggregating deepest desires, and whole documents ostensibly sent for refinement, summary, or other natural transformations. If your employees are using it to make IP, best to keep a tight grip on it if you can. Sevenfold for regulated industries.

Of course, it's not like everyone crawled and indexed the web to keep things like that from search engines.
The point isn't just about business language - it's about participating in a culture. From a soft power perspective, having a large proportion of your population able to interact with another culture makes a lot of sense. India will continue to become more culturally significant and having a handle on that will be valuable.

> when they have to run an extra decoder

it's not that expensive

it's a tradeoff, you lose something there, you gain somewhere else.

x86 has a more complex decoder exactly because it was less powerful and had to save on computing power and energy consumption, not being a mainframe.

"Manifesto for Half-Arsed Agile Software Development

We have heard about new ways of developing software by
paying consultants and reading Gartner reports. Through
this we have been told to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools and we have mandatory processes and tools to control how those
individuals (we prefer the term ‘resources’) interact

Working software over comprehensive documentation as long as that software is comprehensively documented

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation within the boundaries of strict contracts, of course, and subject to rigorous change control

Responding to change over following a plan provided a detailed plan is in place to respond to the change, and it is followed precisely

That is, while the items on the left sound nice in theory, we’re an enterprise company, and there’s no way we’re letting go of the items on the right."

With devices that have biometric validation it becomes something you have (unextractable private key in secure enclave in laptop, phone, or hardware token) + { something you are (face or fingerprint that unlocks secure enclave) || something you know (pin or password that unlocks secure enclave) }

Of course recovery codes are a single factor, so to have it be 2FA still they should not be memorised (to keep them as something you have, not something you know) and be locked away in a way that adds a second factor, e.g in a safe locked by biometric or gated by an id check (bank, notary office) for something you are, or a pin/code/password for something you know.

Sounds cumbersome? Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on your trust model + threat model. Maybe a bank is too much and a trusted friend or neighbour is fine for "id check", maybe not. The less you trust the less options you have for recovery.

As an example: What if one dies? Is there a recovery procedure? Does it entail someone mentioned in a (paper or digital) will having a death certificate at hand? Then one has to trust the designated person not to fake a death certificate, and so on and so forth.

I worked in various places in Northern Germany a few years ago, close to the Danish border. Some businesses and most federal and state-related institutions would stop working at noon on Fridays. I was told it was to alleviate the pressure on the trains and Autobahn. This would make sense, especially given the fact that a very important military population was stationed there during the cold war and the railways and roads were a mess (and probably still are).

I don't know if it's true, nobody concerned would ever come to the stupid idea of questioning this nice practice.
Dansk Pilsner is not named Dansk.. It's named Dansk Pilsner..

As I said in my original post, and the clarification, I've never encountered a brand that is named Dansk before this article about a brand called Dansk, which is an american brand making houseware.
I am unaware of the term deer fly. The name tends to suggest that they'll bite deer; it's possible they're not interested in biting humans.

Horseflies will happily bite humans, though they are pretty well guaranteed to die in the process.

Wikipedia says that deer flies do bite humans and their bite 'may be painful'. They are a type of horsefly, suggesting that the description of their bite is understated.
Soylent showed me their colors at the beginning.
I don't remember where but I funded the original effort becuase they offered a stainless steel travel mug with Soylent stamped on it.

They proved their shadiness immediately to me.

Problems with the Go net/HTTP Client API
The US is one case, I wonder what about Europe or China? It seems part of the problem was that the mandates were loosely followed at a societal level — masks clearly do reduce the spread of diseases when used reliably (see: doctors). It seems likely that in societies who followed the guidance strictly, there must have been _some_ reduction in infections. I suppose the question then is: are there any places where we can compare a community loose on masking, and one strict on it – all other things being equal?
The most usual situation, in my experience, is that a team is required to hit a date that someone else committed to.

Ah, two countries divided by a common language, or something like that!

I don't know how it's done in UK universities now either, but I do know that many (most?) of the less prestigious universities have switched to modular courses where it is the accumulation of points that counts rather than performance in finals.

I always think of classes as a kind of compromise between a lecture which is a large number of students and no individual contact between the lecturer and student except for the occasional clarifying question and a tutorial which is a very focussed meeting with a tutor and typically four or five students where exercise that were issued the previous week are discussed in detail.

Classes always seem to me to be the worst of both worlds: big enough for weak students to hide in (and thus fail to get the help they need) but not big enough to get an economy of scale.
Windows too. That isn’t the point.
similarly, I chuckle when I see big "BBQ Marshmallows" in a charcoal bag sold at Aldi in Ireland. They're great for campfires but I wouldn't have thought to have them at a BBQ.

This was really fun to mess about with. Interesting how some balloons take very similar paths for a bit, but then go on an entirely separate second stage. UK and Norway can follow a very similar path to get to the US, but then Norway's loops around Canada for a bit while the UK's head south. It's fascinating.

If you're bored and want to run mass simulations with your data I'd love to know which country is the hardest to spy on via balloon.
I wiah. But it's not even on the radar. In fact, I'd be marginalized more than I already am. I said to someone on the leadership team, "How can we have a team without a single team meeting?" I got no reply. I'm not even sure they heard me.

Very happy to see this. I have been a silent advocate for bringing back/investing into in-house "cloud" infrastructure for the many SME I've done some work for. I have already seen corporate (non-tech/startup/saas) do this but have yet to see true adoption in-house for more-tech oriented companies

> Spoiler: Ousterhout is right, and the data shows he is right. Maybe not everyone knows it yet, or it's the kind of "right" that not everyone will ever get to (and we'll settle for "good enough" for much longer), but he is almost certainly right.

No, Ousterhout is not "right", Ousterhout has put forward an hypothesis, backed up by _some_ data that's not really borne out from real world experiences in the datacentre.

Infiniband, despite his claims to the contrary solves a whole bunch of the problems he's describing. Moreover its a proven solution that deploys at scale. not only that, but you can run enthernet/IP over the top.

Having proper flow control inside your switching fabric is bloody amazing if you want real-time with QOS over the top. After all Fibre Channel was designed to be fast, guaranteed deliver and low latency. The problem is, ethernet was cheaper and good enough to cover 80% of usecases.

No, you missed the memo, it's just an autocomplete parrot. Parrots don't save people time. Since our a-priori logic (dogma) overrules the a-posteriori observations, you must be wrong. /s
The very first problem you encounter with this approach is that while you are setting up to back into a spot, the car behind you thinks you are passing by; so they nose in and take it.

Or they don't understand you're about to stop and backup, so they pull behind you too close, preventing you from reversing. Even if they realize and want to backup to give you space, there may be someone behind them already.

This is something that only works if everyone is taught and if everyone agrees to behave well. This might be more feasible in regions where parallel parking is common and drivers are accustomed to stopping way back to allow the stopped car in front to reverse.
I make a point of stopping project managers when they use the analogy of building a house to push back on estimates. What was the contractor doing before the current job? Building a house. What will they do after this job? Build a house.

By contrast, software development is doing stuff that hasn't been done before. You may be lucky, and have done something similar. If it's really been done before, you would ideally be using something off the shelf.

For me, a project manager who uses this analogy has no place running a software project.
It's butter all the way down. Also isn't wall street as far as you can get from Silicon Valley while still being in the US?

Anyone calling out "clear flaws" as any serious drawback (I didn't click the link but I assume he hit the audience with the 7% drawdown narrative some nitwit at BB concocted) probably hasn't even done enough investigative journalism to, I don't know, try using the damned thing?
Valets park cars all day long. And they back in.

When you are parking, you have much more visibility of oncoming traffic, and the other drivers see you more clearly too. When backing out, you have less visibility and are less visible.

It’s a terrible article. But backing in is absolutely the safer option.
All of my side projects either simply cost me money, or at best, cost me nothing but time ^_^
But when you're backing in, you risk hitting the vehicles that you're parking between. This means you risk damaging your own car, so you will behave more carefully.
> You almost need your own house and yard because children caught in public nowadays results in criminal charges and CPS visits, and it's entirely impractical to have supervision on children at all times for a decade straight.

That's not a general thing, it's very specific to the US (and I'd guess even not generalised in the US as a whole).

Here in Sweden kids are free to roam, go meet their friends, take the public transit, etc. without parents having to be anxious and scared.

The paranoia in the USA is extremely exhausting though, I really feel for all of you.

Good luck with that, the whole enterprise space is full of companies whose business is to sell Agile development, with the whole package that belongs to it.

This is what managers care about, regardless of what is being discussed on the engineering floor about what Agile is supposed to be like in practice.
Latency is additive, GFN and other cloud bullshit isn't a magic ticket to getting rid of all other latency sources.
That’s the point: no amount of academic papers can be a good ROI for Google’s investment.

Then you also have to try to roll your cart between all the cars to get to the back of your car to unload your stuff. And you must hope that the driver opposite you (behind) didn't back up so close that you now can't open your back door.

M1 has 16 billion of them

AMD is below 10 billion
In theory. In practice, there are a lot of complications to sort out, especially if you want to have Rust call C that calls Rust that calls C that calls C++. Build requirements of transitive dependencies need to be communicated and propagated, keeping in mind that C and C++ rarely uses cargo and at least public Rust crates rarely use anything else.
I've not just used SMTP the protocol as a submission protocol, but used actual mail servers as the broker, in a production system.

Back in '99 I co-founded a mail provider, and we got so used to abusing qmail (+ rewritten replacement components - any qmail installation becomes a Ship of Theseus thanks to the clear API between small components) that when we needed a message broker we used our internal DNS server for service discovery and our mail infra as the broker (and we had a DNS server where the zones could be updated via SMTP). It worked well, and let us reuse a lot of tooling.
Password managers like 1Password also can act as OTP apps for 2FA.

That has the advantage you can install the password manager in several devices, so losing one is not catastrophic.

Sometimes slowing down is also useful, e.g. for learning a new language
I wonder the same. Also scraping for training data feels like something that should be opt in. I really have a problem with the stance that just because a piece of data is technically accessible, that it’s fair game. It also undermines the lineage and trustworthiness of the final model e.g. how does one verify that a model’s predictive outcomes are in line with expectations.
On the topic of WAN vs DC it's about reliability. A lot of the engineering behind TCP assumes an unreliable transport, but in a data center context a lot of the unreliability doesn't exist, or can be engineered out of the network infrastructure you use. A good example of this in my space is video over IP (ST 2110), which is over RTP/UDP, but RTCP (for retransmission and rate control) is much more of a vestigial component, and if I remember correctly is entirely optional in the specs. A lot of the SDN solutions even default to not carrying the RTCP back channel.

Now, in the video over IP space, there is essentially zero time available for retransmission, so such packet loss would be better handled as a dropped frame or audio packet, but it's not like this is an expected outcome of using UDP in such a controlled environment as a dedicated video transport network

thats a strange assertion when the internet was famously invented to eliminate complex failure modes. Quoting from "DARPA and the Internet Revolution" By Mitch Waldrop [0]

"Finally, Roberts decided to make the network completely decentralized, with no one master computer responsible for sorting the packets and routing them to their destination. Such a Grand Central Station approach would have been much simpler to implement, Roberts knew. But one blown transistor could have taken the whole network down.

So instead, he decreed that the ARPA sites would be linked in a complex pattern rather like the Interstate highway map, and that each site would share the routing responsibilities equally. That is, the computer there would read the digital address on each packet as it came in, accept that packet if the address was local, or else send it off again on the next stage of its journey.

This “packet-switching” approach would mean more complexity and more programming during the set-up phase. But the final system would be far more robust: No one failure could bring it down."

I don't see how it's dodgy to craft a resume that tells the story you want to say unless you're inserting things that didn't happen.

Getting a job is an exercise in sales and marketing. Everything I've seen about OP's post and comments can be pitched in a manner that highlights learning and growth.
