Personally, I used to be very passionate about coding. but over time I've realized that I'm more excited about products/design and working with great people. I know that going into management is often frowned upon among engineers, but I personally love it because I can continue to work on products without constantly banging my head about compiler errors or annoying bugs. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that it's possible to be passionate about building products without having to sit and code all day.

That’s a measure of programming prowess, not the actual security concern at hand.

If the masterful C developer still insists on using a language that has so many footguns and a weird culture of developers pretending that they’re more capable than they are, then their C mastery could very well’ve not been worth much against someone throwing something together in Python, which will at the very least immediately bypass the vast majority of vulnerabilities found in C code. Plus, my experience with such software is that the sort of higher level vulnerabilities that you’d still see in Python code aren’t ones that the C developer has necessarily dealt with.

About 10-12 years ago a (female) friend of mine went to a "slutwalk". Slutwaks were a precursor to the "#MeToo movement". She carried a sign with a short slogan and got captured by a press fotographer. The photo went into the press foto agencys and for a time almost every article in germany about sexism used it for illustration. Even some international publication picked the foto up.

After a while she tried to contact them and tell them, that she wants her face back. But it was always difficult to get them to drop the foto.

I google it from time to time and even in 2020 the foto still got used.

You can still use `tsc` to validate the jsdoc types. It will spit out errors when types don’t match.

You can use `tsc` to export the types defined in jsdoc and other projects that import your module will get all the intellisense and type checking as if it had been written in TypeScript.
Although this is an insightful article with many good points, I am disappointed that the author didn't mention a more fundamental problem with metrics: that the very framing of business that leads to a focus on metrics is toxic to responsible business practices.

The author talks a lot about listening to the voice of the process. How about listening to the voice of people? For instance, people who are concerned that we're losing our ethics and our vision and our sense of meaning in our work?

The moment someone suggests a metric, my reaction is not to think about causes and effects but rather "what is motivating you to think that dwelling on that metric, OR ANY METRIC, will lead to happiness?

Framing and philosophy precedes any possible notion of improvement. Start there. If that leads you to measurement, so be it... Or you can be like Amazon: a rich company that is famous for its rapaciousness and exploitative behavior.

Maybe their efforts will be co-opted, but judging by the team's background -- André Staltz with Secure Scuttlebutt, Paul Frazee with dat/Beaker/Hypercore Protocol -- I think it's pretty clear the driving motivation for much of the team behind Bluesky is not profit.

As for why people might want to use it instead of ActivityPub, I think it's just... different from ActivityPub. Even though ActivityPub is an available option I don't see why it should be the last word.

Bluesky's answer is this

> Account portability is the major reason why we chose to build a separate protocol. We consider portability to be crucial because it protects users from sudden bans, server shutdowns, and policy disagreements. Our solution for portability requires both signed data repositories and DIDs, neither of which are easy to retrofit into ActivityPub. The migration tools for ActivityPub are comparatively limited; they require the original server to provide a redirect and cannot migrate the user's previous data.

> Other smaller differences include: a different viewpoint about how schemas should be handled, a preference for domain usernames over AP’s double-@ email usernames, and the goal of having large scale search and discovery (rather than the hashtag style of discovery that ActivityPub favors).

Show HN: Deep-Dive into Containers, for People in a Hurry
Hi folks,

I created series of, what I call "Bitesized" graphics on the topic of Containers.

This was primarily done as I was actually interested in the inner-workings of them, and is presented in a simple-to-digest manner in which I would have hoped someone showed it to me. As I usually like to say - these are made so that they can be consumed from your toilet :)

Finally, for those interested - I used Canva (Premium) to make these.

Let me know if you found them useful!

P.S. As far as I'm concerned, you are free to distribute, print and do whatever the heck you want with them as long as you keep my signature at the bottom :)
If you need to micro-optimize this way and you're 100% sure that the database engine you're using would align accesses on word boundaries, sure. Most folks will not need it.
IMO, now that I think about this some more, letting a sandboxed app directly implement native accessibility APIs is risky. First, there's the fact that on Windows, macOS, and Linux (or more accurately, Unix desktop environments that use AT-SPI), the native accessibility API uses screen coordinates. So a provider exposing screen coordinates outside of its window seems like a vulnerability. AT-SPI is very trusting of the toolkit/application in general, with no verifiable link between the accessibility tree and the X11/Wayland windows/surfaces. And while I'm not aware of other specific vulnerabilities in UI Automation on Windows, I wouldn't be surprised to find that they exist. I'm the least familiar with the macOS accessibility API.

> I suspect a11y APIs will gain significant importance this decade, once people realize they can hook AI up to accessibility trees more easily than working with pixels and the like.

I hadn't considered that programmatic accessibility might be helpful for AI applications. Within the accessibility community, AI is more often seen as a provider, i.e. filling in accessibility gaps, through OCR and now more advanced applications of machine learning such as iOS's Screen Recognition. But I hope you're right.
After all the media circus of selecting HQ2? I understand the rationality behind sunk costs (let alone the inscrutableness of corporate decision making) but it does ever so slightly strain my mental capacity every time a major, public decision is reversed.

> As far as I know Japanese or German government haven't requested that we stop writing "Japan" and "Germany".

Because they know it would be silly. Do they go to every language and ask for a change? For instance ask France to stop using “Allemagne” and use Deutschland instead? Now repeat for hundreds or thousands of languages… not only would it accomplish nothing, it is pretty disrespectful to demand of the other language users how they refer to places.

No. It implies the opposite. The assumption was that only the confederates had slave states. My comment debunks that notion.

Everybody knows that the confederacy had slaves. Now they know both sides had slave states.

The voice of the people is also a metric.
It also does require formidable infra to just run these giant models. I wonder if now-useless crypto mining farms could be repurposed.
She wasn't upset at the photo being used, she was upset at the idea that it could discourage women from working for a tech company.

But that isn't universally true either. This is like a conditional hypothetical. If this hypothetically this is causing women to not work for tech companies, then in that case she could hypothetically not like that.

This is somebody (the OP) trying to use a drummed up controversy to promote themselves. It's gross.
"Invalid" used to be used in English in the 19th century. I see it in old books sometimes; had to look it up the first time. It's not a great word choice and sounds more like an illegal immigrant status or something.

Starfive Visionfive 2 looks to be in stock on Ameridroid and Kickstarter? Pine's Ox64 says it will restock "in March". Last I checked, Clockwork Pi was also selling their RISCV modules separately for ~$20.

If nothing else works, get a cheap FPGA and run a softcore?

May I suggest more empathy for your fellow humans?

We aren't good at weighing long-term consequences, especially when we're young (as in the model's case) or in financial need (IDK if that was a factor here; it wouldn't surprise me).

Contracts between parties of such unequal bargaining power can't be ethically valid IMO, whatever legally validity they may claim.

Likewise, 20y+ contracts involving individuals aren't wise. (Fine for organizations like businesses and governments though.)
I most definitely would "define" Australia more by it's desert landscape than I would Iran.

This is a great analogy. And people forget that to program any system effeciently you need to know that system. Not necessarily inside-out, but good enough. A brief look at any emacs config will show you just how many weird and inconsistent things you have to contend with: major modes, minor modes, hooks, global variables, global functions, mode-specific global functions, special lists, non-special lists, and a myriad API calls and functions in between.

Wikipedia says that emacs has 10 000 (ten thousand) built-in commands [1] That's probably on par with JVM :)

I think it’s important to note here that by far the largest consumers of pornographic erotica are women.

Yeah, when she was modelling for playboy she should've thought "what if a nerd somewhere takes this photo of me and unknowingly turns it into a commonplace testing asset in an industry niche in 50 years that doesn't even exist in my current time?"

More seriously, the original copyright owner (the photographer? playboy?) probably didn't license it for use as a visual benchmarking asset for graphics algorithms.
The thing is that the short term is much easier to predict what you're going to need and where the value is, and in the long term you might not even work on this codebase anymore. Lot of incentives to get things done in the short term.

Based on a cursory google search, they are apparently all similarly "sourced" (and testpat includes lena).
SFW on 4chan blue boards is essentially only in the sense of no pornographic imagery (and even then if a rulebreaker posts porn it can take a few minutes for the mods to catch it and remove the thread). It won't stop you seeing threads about how Lennart Poettering and SystemD are part of a Zionist conspiracy to undermine Linux or similar ideas.
I've never written a line of Javascript in my life but that test looks trivial.

a.filter(x=>1)

guessing that arrow looking thing is syntax sugar for a lambda that always returns a 1, then it's implicitly cast to boolean true in the filter, so nothing gets filtered out and b ends up just the same as a.

!!1

not not 1 -> true

b.some(e=>e>6)

at least one element of b greater than 6, clearly true

so both arms of the && are true, so foo() gets called.

I don't think this is a very good test if someone like me can pass it just by making educated guesses.
On a thread about emacs, you posted about telling people to use vim. why do it if you aren't trying to get emacs users to use vim?

Lena has been used for years and this use doesn't necessarily result in you being "cancelled", it might make your colleagues say "hey, can you use something other than lena?" though. The model is a pretty private figure (as she said, she’s not a model anymore) and has not given us any reason not to respect her wishes, so if she has asked the community not to then it's only decent to refrain from using her picture.

Trump is an extremely controversial person who has stirred up no end of trouble and in addition he has directed more than his own fair share of bodyshaming towards others. It does not surprise me in the slightest that people are not willing to extend him the courtesy of not sharing a picture of him that he doesn't like.

I'm not in the business of using or distributing these pictures, so I am quite happy not using either. I'm just attempting to explain why people feel this way. I personally quite like the Ethically Sourced Lena, it made me smile :)
Rule of thumb:

Code is "compute heavy" (could equally be memory heavy or IOPs heavy) if it's deployed into many servers or "the cloud" and many instances of it are running serving a lot of requests to a lot of users.

Then the finance people start to notice how much you are paying for those servers and suddenly serving the same number of users with less hardware becomes very significant for the company's bottom line.

The other big one is reducing notable latency for users of your software.
