databases, haha. That's where modern programming throws most of the hard stuff nowadays.

in fact all of the hard parts of modern programming can be characterized by a single problem that all of these languages like go and rust are attempting to solve:

Shared mutating state.

Really the parent and everyone here is just complaining about this one singular problem and how no language has completely solved it yet with a method that's Easy and safe.

In fact all these new languages have a sort of similar primary purpose of attempting to abstract this problem away.

Let’s not talk about projecting/displaying presentations either.
And, if they want to live in any of the same locales where FAANG people happen to live, show them `levels.fyi` for FAANG, and tell them those are the people they're going to be competing with condo/house offers and apartment rents. (Well, in addition to the other parties snapping up real estate.)

Students might know starting salaries, but maybe not know just how huge the income difference can get in a few years. Nor understand how adversely the relative difference can affect their quality of life.
Doesn't that make your sample size very small?

I mean, you have to agree, for a lot (if not most) people, the ROI is massive.

Yeah it's swung around again - it feels like 25 years ago you could choose between DirectX and OpenGL (and software too), then for AAA games at least there was DirectX only for the longest time, but now DirectX or Vulkan (or OpenGL, or DirectX 12 instead of DirectX 9/10/11).
that's more "typo-squatting" than "bit squatting" but its definitely the same broad concept.
Makes sense :) thanks

Let's be real about the scope here, clearly this is not indicative of the downfall of modern banking infrastructure (or the government itself, as it seems some commentors would have you believe).

This was a small event featuring one board member. As the article points out the zoom session itself was run by the hosting institution, some consortium of small banks (I hear those are really known for their technical chops /s). Run enough of these and something bad is bound to happen.

Sure, maybe the Fed should improve its policies on meeting hosting rules and make sure people are informed on best practice, but the fact that a Fed-affiliate intern messed up their Zoom settings is hardly damning.
If such a mistake is too easy to make, this sounds to me like a UX design issue.

Google, Facebook, etc all do that, and it's their entire business model.
Every week we go through this at work STILL. I sit there with my system working perfectly. I can hear. I can talk. They can hear me. They can see me. It's fine. But there are 3 other people in there that are muted and can't figure it out, someone is called in and on their computer, echo everywhere, someone can't hear, someone can't get their mic to work, someone just gets frustrated and screams that we should "do it in person".

I just don't get it anymore. I can't figure out how any of this is challenging for anyone. Especially when they've all done it 50+ times now.

Oh, and the team member who only has her forehead in the shot? Or the person who constantly changes their background through the whole meeting? Or the person who just gets up and walks away in the middle.

Can you feel it? It's Sunday night here for me. Monday is quickly approaching and I just can't stomach the thought of doing this all over again.
Check /sys/class/powercap - if you have some RAPL entries there you can set the maximum power draw of the CPU. But in general if you have a fixed workload (ie, your system wants to do a certain amount of work, not use a certain percentage of CPU) then reducing CPU power limits will result in the CPU slowing down enough that it has to stay awake for longer to do that work, and will (counter-intuitively) actually consume more power to do the same amount of work. Running the CPU fast to get the work done quickly means the CPU can then put itself in a low-power state that shuts down a lot of ancillary components, saving more power than running the CPU at half the speed for twice as long.
Maybe it has something to do with 50 years of neoliberal corner-cutting, especially hollowing out the public sector.
Every virtual meeting in the non-tech world is like this. Zoom is way easier for people than its alternatives but in a world of fools nothing is foolproof.
>> It doesn’t appear that they’re shutting down your account.

Not yet. The rule of thumb is that you should expect the worst as it's a free service
Exactly. The situation was just "a non-mission critical thing had a one-off misconfiguration," which is the least alarming thing in the history of technology.
I think a lot of companies are okay with leaving that talent on the table.
This will result in an immediate ban by Airbnb. I got screwed by Oculus and spent almost half a year getting my account back after a chargeback ban.

Not op, but one killer feature I like is the ease of copy and pasting a webpage and getting all the formatting and images.

And I think the .one filetype is an open format. So there shouldn't be any vendor lock.

It's just a genuinely pleasant app to use. I just wish the dev team moved faster with features. Making a colored square shape is a pain. So although it can do most multimedia in a single file it's lacking in a robust shape tool.

> I want to buy a board for what it can do now not what it will be able to do

Then buy something else.

My VF2 boards (one 8 GB and one 4 GB) were very clearly sold as "Early Bird" and "Super Early Bird", respectively, and Jeff's will have been too.

They are for early adopters and for developers to use to fill in the missing software support. It is not practically possible to do this without a board in your hands.

It is NOT for the average user right now. In 3 or 6 months it will be.
Care to share the example problem?
"Suck up"? I went to magnet elementary school. There were more art and music teachers.

Nearly all these "insiders" seem to be recently departed employees with obvious reasons to have a partial take on the current state of affairs.

There is also a passing reference to the "Twitter Files", which were dismissed at the time by most of the mainstream media - Panorama included?

In that context it's difficult not to see this as more establishment tears after Musk's slap across the face to it and its bias when he took over Twitter.

There are obviously going to be problems during such a turbulent time, and serious alleged cases like the troll victim discussed should not be an acceptable corollary of the new regime, but genuine improvement and insight will not be helped by weak or questionably-motivated "investigations".

I'd really like to see better and braver from the BBC on a flagship analytical programme.

Sounds like more of a game problem. The screen is about 200dpi which is pretty good. As more games test on the deck that should improve.
I tried playing some steam board games on there, the text is readable but on a small screen it's not a good experience. It worked well with an external screen.

It's a tradeoff between cost, performance, portability, battery life and resolution. They've done a nice job in my opinion.
They always used to be famous for dumb questions that made you think like how many golfballs can you fit in a school bus, why are manhole covers round etc.
I haven't played much with either OpenGL or DirectX but I remember wanting to render some text using a 3D API - DirectX supports it out of the box (need to pick the font etc - lots of settings) but at least when I last looked, OpenGL didn't offer that functionality, so I'd need to find a library that handles font loading and everything else associated with printing text.

They could have been fooled by randomness, like many "intellectual" types often are.
> Trustlessness is all or noting, and once you trust someone you are just doing what we do now but far less efficiently.

Not true at all, as the GP explicitly mentions Shamir's secret sharing:

> Shamir's secret sharing (SSS) is an efficient secret sharing algorithm for distributing private information (the "secret") among a group so that the secret cannot be revealed unless a quorum of the group acts together to pool their knowledge. To achieve this, the secret is mathematically divided into parts (the "shares") from which the secret can be reassembled only when a sufficient number of shares are combined.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_secret_sharing

So you can trust various persons / entities such that m out of n need to come together before the secret is revealed. And each person doesn't need to have just one share out of n: if you trust one person more that you can give them two (or more) shares out of the n.
It's more of a mismatch between the intended use case of zoom of having meetings compared to what they wanted to accomplish.
Yeah we don't support arbitrary Flake8 plugins. We do plan to support plugins eventually but the exact architecture and API are TBD.

If there are plugins that would be particularly impactful for you, I'd be happy to take a look at adding them. (We support some of the plugins you use in SQLAlchemy, like flake8-docstrings and flake8-builtins, but not flake8-rst-docstrings which I'm guessing is a blocker.)
Why would you charge back Oculus?
But if you own the IP for 6 months with no abuse, wouldn’t that solve the problem?
A lot of people are in the "if I could just hire right I'd be fine" camp when they should be in the "why is the way I'm trying to build this stupid" camp. Address the root problem, go in with the assumption that it will be easier to start over from scratch and rebuild with 3x the productivity based on what you've learned about what _doesn't_ work, and it will be easy to find people who want to work on your app/platform/etc. I've advised far too many mid to late stage startups where what they really need is to just take what they've learned, rm -rf, and quickly build something that works now that they've gone through the growing pains, and far too many have taken this option later than they should have.
Yeah, I was glad to stumble on swimming. I’ve always tried to jog a bit, but I’ve always hated it (and still do). I’d never really properly tried lap swimming (we did it a little in primary school, apart from that I’d only done recreational swimming), but I took to swimming laps very quickly and easily, now I really look forward to hitting the pool for an hour, two or three times a week.

There is a bit of a curve to get over with technique, breathing, etc. where you really can’t swim very far and you feel super slow at the start, but if you work on it it you can build up pretty quickly. You burn far more kilojoules in the pool than doing something like running too which is nice! I’m 32 now, been doing the swimming for three years now, and with a bit of diet improvement I’m definitely in the best shape I’ve been in since high school.

I’d definitely recommend it for people who don’t like the feeling of other aerobic exercise like running or cycling.
When I was in college in the 90s some of the fraternities had systemized this.

You’d get a diagnosis, get a drug that had value for sale or you could take it, and the reasonable accommodation for ADHD was taking a test in a private room with open book.

I was pissed when I found out as tests were usually graded in a curve, and these idiots broke the curve for the rest of us.

I've noticed this too. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if people in the West were able to participate in conversations inside China the way advocates for China can in other countries.

Whatever the topic, they don't have to be right. Just by obsfucating, delaying, misdirecting, going off on tangents, quoting dodgy research, burying the topic with downvotes whatever...the subject matter just gets turned into a muddy swamp with no clear conclusion and then everybody moves past it to the next new thing. Mission accomplished.
Do they pay similar to US FAANG, though?

That's the comparison sirsinsalot was making.
> Grades and SAT scores are only one factor of many that are used in admissions decisions.

The other factors were added specifically in order to give universities leeway to massage the demographics of the incoming class. IIRC this kind of holistic admission was invented specifically to be able to reject Jewish applicants who tended to be academically strong but less "well rounded" than WASPs. So ivies effectively put a cap on the Jewish quotient by creating the holistic system.
RV64GC expands into RV64I + M + A + F + D + C. The CPU in this board also has the Zba and Zbb extensions (which together with a couple of others make up what was originally envisioned as the "B" extension, but it was decided to split it up).

Still "elevated inflation disrupts the purchase power of most of the population" is a perfectly real phenomenon. It's not an "specific population", unless you think "almost everyone" is "specific".

And yes, the disruption tends to pass after the inflation goes away. But none of that makes the argument specious.

I self host a huge amount of stuff on-top of a custom cloud platform I built using a Kubernetes cluster deployed as a tenant of my cloud.

I run a few servers which all have an "ordlet" installed, akin to the kubelet, which configure network namespaces for isolated tenant networking and boots virtual machines which use a EC2 style metadata server to fetch their boot script, which for this purpose configures a HA kubernetes cluster that then uses ArgoCD to fetch all the manifests from my git repo using an AppSet.

It's so incredibly over complicated and over engineered, it's a lot of fun :)

We really are in a dark ages for GUI. I remember back in 2003-2007 every hobbyist programmer I knew was whipping up random UIs for their projects on windows. VB6, winforms, VCL, w/e. They were all ugly as hell but buttons were on the screens and they had data grids, menus, copy/paste and all kinds of minor UI niceties provided by the OS. It’s too bad the web came and ate desktop UI’s lunch. Now you’re hard pressed to find a good UI toolkit that’s not in pseudo maintenance mode or with some misguided focus on being compatible with mobile and desktop.

Dreaming for a day that desktop and data rich applications become first class citizens of gui toolkits again. Even Microsoft, historically a leader in this area, is letting us down.

It’s crazy that references don’t mean anything in most companies nowadays vs few years ago. That’s another ‘success’ of the overall hiring process with the various sites and ways to be referenced to faang, etc..

Now even if you have a living and respectable proof that you have worked with this person and was good, it means almost nothing. Let’s five rounds of interviews. I have seen the same pattern even for internal transfers! Crazy!
I highly doubt they work as well as an engineer believes. If there are no absolutely no user requested changes - even something as simple as support a new browser type or device type - then maybe. Otherwise, I've seen this viewpoint kill multiple companies because it lead to uncontrollable technical debt.
A private company regulating the private speech on its privately owned social network is not a First Amendment issue. In fact it is precisely the sort of thing that the First Amendment exists to protect.

Facebook and Twitter are not constrained by the First Amendment. The First Amendment exists as an umbrella under which they can do whatever they want.

In this case the federal government (which is constrained by the First Amendment) is the one proposing to ban an app—entirely. That is most definitely a First Amendment issue.

The calculation of the value of your business is arbitrary, ie. negotiable, until you have several years of operations and corresponding financial data. There are some ad hoc formulas, eg. Berkus method, for early stage valuation, but it’s only a starting point. You may attempt to project your revenue and profits over the next 3 years based on expected growth, and that can help with negotiations.

Foe example:

Year 0 $100k revenue, profit $0

Year 1 $200k revenue, profit $10k

Year 2 $300k revenue, profit $25k

In this scenario, you might argue that your business is worth $1 million, a 3x multiple on projected Year 2 revenue. And the investor might argue that your business is only worth $250k, because your maximum potential future revenue is only $800k per year in Year 6 or 7, and they want a 10x multiple on their investment.

So, you negotiate.
Variable rate is less common than fixed rate in the US, which I would suspect is why US spending in particular is proving to be sticky.

>Forcing yourself to become a gym rat from being sedentary has unclear benefits regarding hard outcomes.

'hard' does a lot of work in that sentence. Try running up a few flight of stairs if you're sedentary compared to when you're in reasonable shape or try to take a fall if you're skinny compared with some more muscles on your skeleton, or just sitting in your chair for eight hours for that matter.

This is basically 'torture the data long enough until it tells you what you want' to finding an excuse to not hit the gym. Some studies on elderly people with vague exercise programs with probably no change in physique tells you nothing about middle-aged adults.
