Do you have a document stating that J&J's purpose is to buy back stocks?

As it stands, I have a legal document under penalty of perjury that says their purpose is to do business as allowed by NJ. And you _just_ have a statement made by yourself without penalty that their purpose is to return money to investors.

Sure, my document doesn't say they can't do buybacks. But to say the document calls it their purpose is highly misleading.

If you’re reckless, yes. You bear consequences for your actions.

This example of yours would begin with an exploit (or feature) of the third-party software, which in turn managed to pivot into an exploitable hole in the kernel/base system in order to gain these escalated privileges. Securing the kernel/base system is where their focus is.

I'm not challenging the idea of a blanketing solution like AppArmor, just the notion that the OpenBSD team's efforts are "terrible" and "simply not sufficient".
That doesn't apply here.

The study[1] was based on starting from 100% Office randomizing the amount of days people worked from home and was measured by email quantity, quality, and manager performance reviews. A better wording would be "employees send more and better emails when working from home 60-77% of the time". To fully understand the problem you need to study going from WFH to RTO and productivity. Multiple studies have shown the benefits of 100% WFH[2]. Hybrid and RTO is being pushed primarily by management not employees.

I see Canonical as a slightly worse Red Hat - they both do their own thing for the sake of it being theirs (NIH syndrome to the max), Canonical just occasionally use a proprietary component as an upsell (compared to Red Hat that rely only on an Enterprise sticker as a differentiator). But fundamentally, what exactly is the difference? Both force their newly decided stuff on everyone and all associated distros - be it systemd, podman, dnf, regardless if it's ready or not (podman is still not feature compete with docker, and has regular breaking changes making it hard to for associated tooling to keep up, but it is forced down everyone's throats regardless).

> TDD doesn't give you documentation, it gives you tests

Test is the action that is carried out from the documentation, possibly by a human, but more likely by a machine. We are talking about the document that describes what the program is intended to do, which is then followed to carry out the tests.

> They are not for humans to read

I should hope your documentation is there for humans to read. If not, even small modifications required as business needs change would become a complete nightmare. The tests you need to perform, and thereby the documentation that needs to be followed, will not remain static through the entire lifetime of the application.

As the other comment said I'm simply noting the unfortunately reality that what matters is rarely actual delivery. Trying to avoid that reality won't make things more tied to delivery but simply more opaque as to what they're tied to.

There's exceptions but in my experience those teams don't bother with these types of deep discussions on process. The process is somewhat irrelevant since the expectations are fairly clear and what they will be measured on is also fairly clear.

Look for Prof. Andre Beteille work. His father was French and mother a Bengali Brahmin (French had a few colonies in India). M N Srinivas has done a lot of empirical work on caste. Every student of anthropology study caste .

There is a quite a lot of data on both Indian villages and caste system but caste is the offices is not well studied, IMO.

By the way, caste takes a lot of shapes. There have also been attempt to study racial divide in US South from caste perspective (a social category rather than a biological one).

PS: I am a high caste Indian living in India who has more than interests in caste system.

PPS: Mention of caste triggers most Indians, even those who are not living abroad. My wife (south Indian Brahmins) feels somewhat annoyed with my interest in caste. I won't ask my fellow Indians about caste, ever!! It triggers them more than saying bad thing about Modi.

Plese stop talking about adding semantic annotations to every webpage as "semantic web". Semantic Web was originally to intended to make machine-to-machine communication a first class citizen on the web, to complement a human-friendly web. See https://videos.cern.ch/record/2671957 if you are interested in a bit of history (this video precedes cloud by ca. 12 years, IoT by 14 years, and digital twins by 18-19 years).

SOME people assumed this would require annotating human-targeted pages (artificial general intelligence and commonsense reasoning academics). This turned out to be wrong, by the way. IoT enabled machine-to-machine communication all right without annotations, not to mention that your IoT device is not really interested in those semantically annotated fake news posts and cat GIFs anyway. In fact, Wikipedia pages pull in some data from Wikidata, not the other way around (sorry DBpedia).

Now, the problem is that most IoT devices from different vendors can't talk to each other unless vendors team up explicitly. That's where semantics (on the API endpoints, for example) could help.
I'm sorry but there's no correlation to AMZN's stock price reaching all-time highs. 1) The entire world was caught in a two-year pandemic and caused e-commerce to exceed retail spending virtually overnight (See: SHOP, BIGC, etc)... and 2) The fed printed an asinine amount of money that dislocated the market from reality.

Your work-from-home team had nothing to do with either of those two massive tailwinds.

the average age that humans had children throughout the past 250,000 years is 26.9. Furthermore, fathers were consistently older, at 30.7 years on average, than mothers, at 23.2 years on average, but the age gap has shrunk in the past 5,000 years, with the study’s most recent estimates of maternal age averaging 26.4 years. The shrinking gap seems to largely be due to mothers having children at older ages.
So the bug told pilots the aircraft was lighter than it was. I wonder if that would have also factored into the fuel load calculations? It seems like it could have the potential for the crew to take off with less fuel than they need.

> The stock was reaching new heights every day; things were going great; the was no reason to change back at all. Amazon senior leadership were taking their culture of data-driven-everything and ignoring it because they like it better that way.

Why is the real reason for this? It's not clear to me from reading the articles.

There is one mention about how innovation happens more often when people are in the office. I very much doubt that, specifically because if it were so, they would mention numbers/data that this is based on.

I personally work from home 2-3days/week. When I have a good idea I just write it down in our wiki, mention it in slack, maybe grab the phone or just wait until the next meeting to explain it. The best ideas typically need some back and forth, some thinking time, a discussion here or there etc. until they really start to materialize.
This is worth emphasizing:

> "The bug was identified quickly in part because some flight crews noticed the weights didn’t seem right and asked for manual validation of the figures....The Alaska captain said that, as for many things in aviation, pilots routinely use an acronym when they do the pre-takeoff “sanity check”: TLAR, which means “That Looks About Right.”"

Keeping well-trained humans in the loop in all partially or highly automated systems is important for this reason - and although corporate bean-counters in the overly finacialized US economy, whose prime motivation is to maximize shareholder profits by cutting labor costs, may not like to hear this, that mentality is the central reason behind the Boeing MAX debacle.

Ask HN: What are some killer libraries for your language of choice?
Inspired by https://lobste.rs/s/h4j3lg/killer_libraries

A killer app is software that’s so good it justifies using specific hardware or operating system. By analogy, a killer library is a library so good it justifies using a specific programming language. Two examples:

* Ruby on Rails was so good for webdev at the time it justified using Ruby.

* Pandas is so good for datascience it justifies using Python.

Usually there are alternatives to the killer library in other languages, but they don’t catch on for one reason or another— usability, lack of critical features, etc. This can change over time. Arguably quickcheck could have been a killer library for Haskell, but now most languages have a decent PBT framework.

What are some killer libraries for your language of choice?
That is horrible. Basically repeating the mistakes the government makes with people on benefits in the tax code. I don't understand how you can design any financial incentive systems with discontinuities such that you actually earn less by working more. That is a totally unforced error. I agree that people on 100k a year maybe don't need some kind of allowance but then just add another bracket at 85k that erodes it away instead of pretending that the people at 99k still really depend on it.
This comparison is somewhat disingenuous. Why would they compare 3nm to 5mm, when the current TSMC process is 4nm, not 5nm? We don't know how (un)impressive the improvements of the 3nm process are, when we don't know how much of the difference between 5nm and 3nm merely comes from the difference between between 5nm and 4nm.
> It's not comprehensive documentation

Not at first, but by the time your software is working, you will have comprehensive documentation about it.

> Doing TDD you'll not create comprehensive documentation upfront

Where did the idea of 'upfront' come from? Having comprehensive documentation before you have working software doesn't mean having comprehensive documentation before you have any software.

There is a trade-off between the three kinds of improvements. It is possible to pick some points (for example) that give a less than maximum power reduction as well as a less than maximum speed improvment. I think the comparison would be the Apple Silicon that they released is larger than a (hypothetical) alternative that only improved performance but kept the other two constant.
Arguably, the Re: prefix should not have been added to the subject at all but implied by the In-Reply-To or References headers, allowing clients to display it in whatever language they want.

Does Gmail and other clients with thread views even display the supplied subject when replying to a known mail?
Sure, I'll grab the catnip and you put the leashes on, I'm sure this will work out great.
This is not a completely hashed-out thought. But I'll share it and see what others think.

My impression is that the simplest way to improve energy efficiency is to simplify hardware. Silicon is spent isolating software, etc. Time is spent copying data from kernel space to user space. Shift the burden of correctness to compilers, and use proof-carrying code to convince OSes a binary is safe. Let hardware continue managing what it's good at (e.g., out-of-order execution.) But I want a single address space with absolutely no virtualization.

Some may ask "isn't this dangerous? what if there are bugs in the verification process?" But isn't this the same as a bug in the hardware you're relying on for safety? Why is the hardware easier to get right? Isn't it cheaper to patch a software bug than a hardware bug?
Does nobody else here have an actual key to unlock their car / housing?

Like this was a solution that has worked for a long time. Sure houses/cars get broken into all the time but so do online accounts and judging my my spam mail, more people I know have had their online account hacked than their car/house broken into. And I know many more instances of people forgetting their password and reseting it than them locking their keys in the car.
A move to chiplets would be just prolonging their terminal suffering if they didn't replicate Haswell in the first Ryzen chips, making them somewhat performance-competitive and due to chiplets also economically viable with the ability to wow consumers with the first 8 core desktop chips and later 12/16/24/32-core ones.
This is not the first time I've heard of TSMC reserving a very large portion of their production capacity for a single customer, especially in the early days of a new process node. I guess there's an inherent risk in being the launch customer for a new node (unexpected delays, low yield, bugs, etc.) that can only be offset by exceptionally large volume.

Maybe there's a gentleman's agreement among Apple, Samsung, AMD and nvidia that somebody's gotta buy those early wafers, but nobody can do that every single time?
And how do you think that will affect SF and Seattle salaries?
Ah, great point. I forgot they have basic FIDO only keys. I have mostly the NFC and micro ones. I also picked up the Google Titan keys back when, but since they are FIDO only... it greatly limited my use of them.
Probably the latter. Must have bought a fancy house, kids go to the best schools in the city etc. I’m not saying this in a disparaging way, but the fact is that cost of living in India is still pretty low if you settle for 2nd or 3rd best.
Examples of the latter:

You can deal with Gandhi or deal with several million Indian nationals who want your heads on pikes.

You can deal with Dr. King or you can deal with Malcom X and the Panthers.

Etc...
All those things listed are pretty damned large companies....
They have to show they are doing something because they are not doing anything else.
One big reson why the demand is low is because 1080ti or rx580 can still service 95% of gaming needs so what's the point of upgrading?
Then stop putting yourself in those sorts of situations.
Wow - desperation indeed. It's amazing how Intel, who had such process expertise, managed to screw up like this, while TSMC and Samsung have adapted to new generations without any real hiccups.
I would definitely consider that a misconception of what art is or what it is supposed to do. It's the kind of thing Aristotle said, but our conceptions of art have changed since Aristotle's time.

I'm probably one of those weirdos. Although my home office is awesome now I enjoy coming into the office. Unfortunately in the last 10 years at my company they have done everything to remove any incentive to come into the office (you no longer have your own cube you can setup the way you need it to be, you have shared "open space" style office, and reduction of seating capacity by 30% presumably to reduce tax burden. They've really created an environment hostile to productivity.

Your top performers know they are the top performers and they know they have options. They will be the ones to move. The only factor that would deter that is golden handcuffs.

There are also dedicated offline map apps you can use. My current one is OSMAND that works off Open Street Map data and can do turn by turn directions without a cell connection. It's a couple gigabytes to have a complete map of the US that's at least up to date enough to navigate out of the back country.
There might also be an additional effect here. When people start to leave because of this policy, the salaries almost _have_ to go up to retain people and get new hires.
Asahi is based on Arch already, it's been about the only thing you can run until recently. But maybe you're dissatisfied with how well things work at this point.

We currently use a complex system of trying to weigh everything that goes onto the plane - baggage, cargo, fuel, and estimate the weight and distribution of the people.

Sure, estimates are good... But why not just weigh the whole plane just before takeoff?

Simple strain gauges in the suspension struts would give you all the info you need. And then you can still use the old system of weighing all the stuff you put on the plane as a backup/sanity check if you want to.
