> HOW DO PEOPLE NOT STEP-STEP-STEP

I think I have felt some of what you are feeling.
The debugger is ... seductive (: For one thing, it is an educational experience, as you step along you are learning what your program is actually doing, which is a good mental checkpoint, especially when I was a more junior developer. I think a debugger as an educational tool is a big point in its favor. And so you may develop a positive relationship with your debugger, and want to bring it with you wherever you go.

But you may find, as I did, that the sparkle of that relationship fades somewhat in time. You will be better at knowing what the code does, without needing the debugger to tell you. You will hit situations where the debugger cannot help you, or is less helpful than the alternatives. You will get better at structuring your code so certain classes of problems simply don't happen as much, rather than using a debugger to peek-and-poke to fix things all the time. You may find the debugger to be a relatively exhausting high-touch real-time experience, compared to thinking about issues more at your leisure, or getting a larger understanding from other sources.

And so, with experience, and hopefully with an open mind, the debugger will settle into its proper station, in the pantheon of your various debugging aids. Not bad, but not the end-all-be-all either.

I am being somewhat flowery in my language, but all I am saying is: it's okay to rely on the debugger, at some stages. Give it time. Just don't forget about the alternatives or denigrate them needlessly. You want to build a big happy family of technologies and techniques (many of them residing solely in your mind) that can all work together.
> What are the downsides to society if banks are less profitable?

Because they touch money they have all sorts of woo-woo respect. Really they are just service providers like lawyers, gardeners, and doctors.

The whole public perception of the finance sector (and its own sel-regard) is backwards.
I was wondering the same. You put money in a bank so no one robs you and steals it. Money goes in and money comes out when you need it. What innovation is there?
Yeah, I don’t think it’s live anymore. I had the same feelings as gp re: up front price, so I went searching for deals and came across that cloudflare offer on Reddit. Several users have commented on the thread post-January 3rd stating that they tried and failed to unlock the deal
You can probably work around that issue by having a script automatically backup the old kernel modules and restoring them after the upgrade. I use one for arch
Yeah it is common to end up with a desk, a desk worth of space
for your chair and maybe half a desk walkway. What tends to happen is company expands but moving office is too hard so is put off.
I did network engineering for a gaming company that was having random UDP problems between their game servers and clients. In my first 10 minute conversation with them about the problem I told them it was probably due the client's router most likely Belkin or NetGear. They did't believe me or didn't want to tell customers it was their problem. Two years worth of investigation, troubleshooting, countless man hours, over $100,000 spent in new datacenter hardware and I found out months after I left they identified the problem was one popular model of NetGear router.
Wiping out stockholders has no effect on solvency, since stockholders only have a claim on residual assets. Bondholders getting a haircut or being wiped out addresses solvency, stockholders getting wiped out is just a side effect of dissolution without surplus assets.
SVB is basically solvent and had a panic bank run. It should be pretty low risk to offer startups credit collateralized against their SVB deposits.
This is one of the more fucked up and destructive uses of chatgpt Ive seen so far.

Whats going to happen when politicians are no longer able to differentiate real mail and chatgpt generated mail?

It all gets thrown out.

That being said, it is still valid (and valued) advice today, and I recommend reading it!
Many gov agencies seem to be going the ID.me route in the US. I don't like that.
I asked what his viewpoints are supposed to be and literally nobody responded accordingly. Throwing shade doesn't cut mustard with me, sorry.

> I do. But I'll disengage at this point, given your insincerity.

Aw :(

Yeah that just about sums you up. Have a nice day.
Wonder why AMD/Intel/Nvidia haven’t invented some sort of device that allows the processor and graphics to share memory like Apple has done.
> Go ahead, tell me a specific thing that I can't limit with pledge and unveil. Note that everything you mentioned when discussing Oracle could be done with them.

Sigh. I've listed numerous examples, and like a dipshit you just change a few words in my reply and parrot it back at me, without seemingly comprehended a thing.

At this point you are just displaying zealotry. Even Theo disagrees with you.

> I've provided code.

Fucking exactly. That shows that you are not following the discussion at all, just blindly defending your niche OS.

We were talking about complex third party programs that are hard to lock down. A short code example using pledge is, now make sure you read these next few words and try to absorb them, entirely fucking irrelevant.

We're not talking about software developers trying to prevent exploitation of trusted code, we're talking about trying to lock down untrusted code in the event of a compromise.

> You just yelled a bit about root escapes, and then when challenged to provide an example, yelled about Oracle. And then yelled a bit about how MAC provides more, without any specifics about which relevant 'more' it provides.

No, I gave specific examples, and you just hand waived them and asserted pledge and unveil offer the same capabilities and defenses without bothering to show how.

> Again, there's example code sitting right there, which can be used for something like Oracle

No it fucking can't, at all, it's entirely irrelevant and has no relationship to oracle at all. Are you on the spectrum or something? How are you failing to follow this discussion to this extent? It's honestly baffling.
During 2008 crisis it worked exactly as described. Most failures resulted in the failing bank’s acquisition being decided before the seizure happened. The way this happened is very rare
Strimzi :)
IMO as a planet we should try to move beyond that sort of colonialism. Yes the UK is a richer country, but that doesn't make their ecosystem inherently more valuable.
Totally. Working in a bank exposes you to the fun parts of running a bank, without the stress of it being your bank.
It's a partial payment against your uninsured balance.

If you have $1MM of uninsured deposits, you might get $100K as an advance dividend.

The importance is that this money is available quickly, while you make arrangements to do without the remainder of your funds, for a possibly-extended period of time. Until the next follow-on dividend, if any, and until you are fully whole, if ever.
From a brief dip in the multi volume full OED it looks like "Vice Chairman" (etc) came about via vyse | visage | "face" .. as in "This person is a substitute | deputy | "the face" of another person or role"

It's a usage going back to at least 1597 and lost in the fog of time before.
Google's downfall was set in motion long ago ... it's only the last two or three years some people found they were trying to use a search engine that was basically inoperative past a basic insert keywords and lets see what pops out. Maybe people like myself that started finding hard limits four years ago might have merely just been part of some A / B test or perhaps it's just I choose long ago not to share my private data since I've denied a number of API scrapers that had no permission or business poking the internals of my system.

But I don't level all the blame at google, I also place some blame the folks who create web sites and yes sure it's nice to see 100 to 500 words thrust up amongst images all pretty like, and fancy tables and interactive, but it's not so bright to not also include text output options for other search engines as well as those who still use simple text browsers or older OS systems.

I'll cheer the day a startup offers a search engine for the world wide web (ie not just for special browsers and geolocations) ... and simply ignores sites that are clever enough to print up your browser is out of date or location no good, instead of just offering a non javascript entry of however few words they have ... Of course some pages are interactive and probably not suited ... but then again, they usually don't contain much info or have chosen that format so as not to share that info without a good scrape of the user trying to access it.
See rendx's post that is a peer to the parent. Ban religion? Start by banning families, and then school. Only after those should you worry about religion.
This is simply impossible. The premise that the brain is a big lookup table is appealing, and that sort of 1 neuron = 1 represented item concept certainly happens at the initial stages of the sensory pipeline, but if you attempt to scale it up and up to higher levels of abstraction, to the point where you have neurons that have rote memorized every orientation of your grandmothers face (and everyone else's face), you would need to have far more neurons than can possibly fit in any animals head, let alone yours.

This concept is literally known as a "grandmother neuron", and its widely considered to be debunked. I refer you to this neuroscience lecture.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_njf8jwEGRo

Beyond the simplest, most common tasks where it pays to have a rote lookup table, you truly do need an algorithm.
Stripe stopped payouts to SVB bank accounts. Seems reasonable.
"we are diverse and inclusive". That's all it takes for western consumers to forget about the unethical and immoral way these corporations make money and feel good about themselves. 20 years ago it was "we're green", in 20 years it will be something else.
That’s as much make’s fault as Zig. You can go further and eschew the zig build system, using `zig build-lib`, I’d that helps.
Do you believe parachutes do anything useful when jumping out of a plane? Do you have a double blind study that proves it?
You can read the code. It's open source.
Increase.com has also confirmed that their banking partners are insulated from the SVB situation.
I thought so too at first, but I've seen more than a few French speakers say the situation is just about the same in French.
If you look at your bank you may be able to see the originating bank for your last direct deposit - or if you get an actual paystub it may list the bank.
There could be something in the filter. A good test would be to make one tea with distilled water, and another with distilled+filtered water. Compare the colour.
>To make a hyperreal object from a real one, take only the details that excite the mind — like getting praise — intensify them, and drop everything else. When you reduce food to its most intense elements — sweet & salt — you get hyperreal (junk) food. That is the formula for hyperreality.

>You might blame "capitalism" for working against our better angels. It is, after all, very efficient at producing hyperreality. But you'd be wrong because humans have been making hyperreality since cave drawings.

This is a pretty shallow understanding of hyperreality. Hyperreality is not merely the representation of reality, nor the essentialization of the so-called real, nor the realization of the imaginary into the real. I'm not sure if the author is actually working from critical texts or their understanding of Baudrilliard or whomever they're trying to reference is based on a half-stoned viewing of the Matrix.

Honestly, I don't want to be too harsh, there's certainly value to using the concept of hyperreality to understand the absurdity around us, but this post would be amateurish by undergraduate standards.
> We were talking about complex third party programs that are hard to lock down. A short code example using pledge is, now make sure you read these next few words and try to absorb them, entirely fucking irrelevant.

That short code example LOCKS DOWN AN ARBITRARY THIRD PARTY PROGRAM that you pass it as a command line argument. I skipped arg parsing for simplicity, but it does exactly what you're asking for.

> No, I gave specific examples

Can you point to the code you posted that breaks out of the sandbox I gave? I seem to have missed it.
You're really worked up about the simply proposed possibility of how someone might (MIGHT) go about firing a lot of people, especially in an organization already hostile to new ownership. It seems like you need a devil figure to channel anger against, rather than someone who does some stupid stuff and maybe some not so stupid stuff.
It's not accurate to say the EU has been printing money like crazy for 10 years, when for most of that time, the money printing was minor compared to 2020-2022.

Europe, much like the US, was printing money, at a fairly steady rate from 2008 to 2020, at which point they doubled the money supply in a little over a year. That is, they printed more money in ~18 months then they had since the EU was formed.

I work in treasury and need to find a safe place for $150M in cash… there’s no universe in which I’ll spread that across $250k tranches in hundreds of other banks, so in your vast experience in the matter that’s evident from your confidence here, what would you recommend we do?
Couldn’t one check and see which bank your ACH transfer was sent from?

I guess it depends on your bank whether this is readily visible, but if not, should be available through a simple phone call to a rep that’s allowed to see more than end-users are exposed to.
A note to the reader: this is how debate-bros corner you into bullshit arguments. Best to disengage from this kind of bad-faith posturing, no matter how much they insist on their "intentions".
Not so simply, no. But if we can pivot to a philosophy of lifting up the lowest among us, rather than exploiting their resources to extract value from them, that would be a positive step for humanity.

Some people are downvoting my reply to jamiequint https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35100305 but if that comment becomes dead then you won't be able to see his reply to me or the surprising conclusion of the story.
I wonder how many people got burned by the previous Brex customer firing event would consider using them again, even with the bridge credits?
so if I own $1M in Treasury bills I'll get them back while if I own $1M in cash then I'll get back $250k?
Back in 1970, Wendy Carlos was Walter Carlos. That sometimes makes it more difficult to search the web for information.

I went in the other direction. I had always known Walter Carlos. I had all of his LPs from the early 1970s, and then he disappeared. And I could only find later references which referred to a Wendy Carlos. It took me quite a while to discover for sure that they were both the same person.
Depends on the equity/cash split of your compensation. A failed bank is worth zero. Cash is cash.
The best you can get is stuff people have extensively peer reviewed.

So Feynman Lectures on Physics for example are hard to beat. Though you will want to check for the various errata, the fact it was taught by a world class expert and received a great deal of peer review after the fact is about as much as you can hope for on any subject.
> you typically run off firm promises of cash from investors

This is a leveraged operating model. It’s risky and tanked many firms when the CP markets froze in ‘08.
I'm sure he knew things were in trouble (seems like they knew there was trouble for probably the past year or so) but I'm equally sure he thought the situation was salvageable probably up until the moment the FDIC walked in the door and maybe even now he thinks it could have been saved if they hadn't intervened.
wow they lost almost half a billion

WOW they had how much money???
all other details aside - if you purchase $80bn of “mortage-backed” anything you deserve everything that will eventually come your way
You just need to tell your brilliant founder friends to get spun out of Netflix.
I kindof assume a decision meeting just finished, and the CEO took to Twitter the same time the PR department started drafting emails.

I expect the email contains much more specific instructions and an actual process to follow. These things take time to write, even at SEV1 priority.

The CEO is biasing towards speed of notification, so they tweet some quick details out ASAP while the PR team gets moving.

That’s just my perspective tho. I am assuming many things

How can any sane person watch this video and say her behavior was "abhorrent?"

I'm talking about the behavior that led to the protection order.

She's trying to play the "thought crime" angle in order to get the protection order repealed and pretend that they're being victimized. It's disingenuous.
This is the 1983 interview with Frank Snepp about manipulating the media.
“Hardly six figures” could be interpreted as very low six figures.
I think this might be the beginning. I think various funds (public or private) which have capitals stored in SVB is gonna be in a lot of trouble. Every investment firms are probably scanning their portfolios and business cash lines to see how much they are impacted by SVB and similar banks.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a run on banks in the next few days/weeks if additional rumors (true or not) come out.

Edit: didn't want to reply to everyone.

1. SVB probably thought they are in good shape, like every bank out there.

2. Even if the deposits are OK by early next week. Every banks/firms/funds will need to start reviewing their books and see what exposures they have. Even the slightest "issue" will trigger a bank run. Tolerance is really low at this point.
97% of deposits in SVB exceeded the FDIC threshold. The question is, by how much on average?

The amount of risk here is significant. I think this is a desperate play by a company in a struggling industry.
The $1 million deposit creates a $1 million cash asset and a $1 million account liability.

The value being in MBS now is a result of a separate transaction (well, a lot of them, probably) where (in aggregate) the bank takes a bunch of money from its cash assets and trades them for an (initially) equal value in MBS assets.

It becomes a problem when the MBS assets lose value, and the bank needs cash to cover withdrawals.
Touché!

For the record, I was complaining about the diversity of ARM targets (as viewed by someone who wants to have to know as little about it as possible, while still getting things to work), and not about your article!
> I think in general it is fair, but the very arbitrary 18/not-18 cutoff doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I saw some neuroscience research once that indicated you don't really mature until your early 20s.

That said, in some cultures you are considered an adult at about 14 (mostly hunter gatherer cultures that lack the insane complexity and fundamental weirdness that we have right now).

18 seems a good rough split-the-difference, but equally, in an ideal world it'd be 21. That said, most people wouldn't want to wait that long to do responsible adult activities like drive cars too fast around the place, vote for the people who do the best job of lying, and consume borderline-lethal quantities of alcohol ... :-)
This was new information for me, but somehow I don't share your surprise that there's a NY Times article that mentions that Trump is to blame.
As context (not that it makes it better), but this data is sent hashed[0].

Advertisers that don't send this data are at a severe disadvantage when running ads on social media due to the privacy changes Apple rolled out.

Inexcusable behavior, but this is why it was done.

And then there was web 4.0.
Until somewhat recently, Roku was profitable.
The effecf of the deposit is separate from the effects of decisions the bank makes after the deposit.

The deposit creates a cash asset and an equal liability for the increases account balance.

Other transactions have other effects.
They're ramping up for their own branded TV line. Might be a temporary injection for that.
No, it's like saying that it's ok that if you're rich enough you deserve to be first in line for heart transplants in the eventuality that you have a heart attack.
You can't get your refund directly on your credit card? It's standard for at least clothes and tools/furniture in my country.
I don’t think people are disgusted at “startups” in general, but David Sacks deserves any scorn that comes his way after his shameless and pathetic Musk sycophancy through the whole Twitter deal.

This guy who has spent years (decades?) constantly whining about how government regulations are excessive and federal agency should be curtailed and government should stop protecting various groups from harm etc. is now suddenly crying out for urgent government help once something is hurting him and his friend circle personally.
That's just another way of saying "that's why its price is down 20%".

We keep getting articles and keep having nothing happen… They need to pull the trigger some day.
So, I'm going to go ahead and assume you are indeed on the spectrum at this point. Not that it matters. But once again you just parrot a point back at me lol.

> That short code example LCOKS DOWN A COMPLEX THIRD PARTY PROGRAM. The fact that you haven't understood this shows that you're not understanding the discussion.

It doesn't do a fucking thing to lock down Oracle you absolute twit. Oracle won't even start if you try to limit it as though it were Chrome.

Why is it somehow not in the least bit surprising that you a) think that would work and b) think it's a viable solution.

Sigh. This is honestly so fucking stupid.

Pledge can ONLY restrict a program to the syscalls it needs. If the program needs syscalls which can be used to leverage an escape or escalation, pledge is fucking useless. SELinux doesn't have that weakness. That you don't understand this fundamental difference shows you're out of your depth, and that as suspected you're a waste of time to try and educate.

I'm not going to reply to you again given how technically illiterate you are in this context. Given how insecure and religious towards OpenBSD you seem to be, I'm assuming you're going to need to have the last word, and likely will yet again just parrot back a paraphrased version of one of my replies to you...yet again demonstrating your lack of originality or comprehension.

Have fun with that, and I hope having the last word gives you that little boost of self-confidence you seem to be craving to compensate for your clear lack of knowledge.

Best of luck to you in life. You need it.
