> your email, even with a password, isn't a sensible choice for sensitive communications

This seems like it's shifting the goalposts. Someone says something about "nothing to hide but they have locks on their doors" and you say "security isn't the same as privacy". It's accurate but it's moot. I keep the location of my hide-a-key private so I can continue to keep my house secure with the lock on the front door. I keep my email password private so I can secure the account against unauthorized access.

Some people do use their email for what they would consider sensitive communications, and it's less than helpful to suggest they need better opsec practices in response to someone else saying that they should be able to expect their email to be private. It's saying "just hide it better, lol" when that's literally exactly what many people are trying to do when speaking against this sort of legislation.
Databases are my interest, so if you don't mind… How would removal of foreign keys speed up read access?

I'm also going to disagree with you a little, again on the issue of reading, if you have foreign keys then you can do optimisations like cutting out chunks of joins. Adding constraints means you know more which you can feed to the optimiser which means often you can get better performance (read performance, that is).
They'd usually have to prove they fired you with cause not because you said you quit.

i.e. if you get caught stealing or are sexually harassing your co-workers, they can still fire you. They are not however required to let you work. They can revoke access and continue to pay, they can give you a package and terminate you employment. If you don't want to take the package, they can just walk you out of the building and terminate your employment two weeks later.
>you can't take those numbers at face value because how many people who need MRI aren't prescribed one to begin with.

Citation needed (that isn't your n=1 story). If someone's problem was bad enough, they'd book an MRI regardless of how far out it was. If someone says "nah, don't even bother" perhaps their problem isn't that bad.
Real patriots fly flags from their honking F-150s, play in bouncy castles, shit in snowbanks, and call to engage in fervent sexual congress with democratically elected leaders who have great hair.

Unsure if sarcasm but doesn't the exact same reasoning apply to these? If there's things you don't want thieves to steal then obviously you _do_ have something to hide. Or maybe a better word is protect but both apply equally well

The take that its a sophisticated grammar parser is fine. Could be lol. But when it is better at humans then the definitions can just get tossed as usage changes. You can't deny its impact (or you can, but it's intellectually dishonest a bit to just call it old tech with monies and nothin' special from impact alone). But that's your experience so it's fine.

For the stuff about it being a hard problem , now I know you aren't expressly making a false equivocation right? But I did say simple not easy. You are saying hard not complex.

I think there's too much digression here. You're clearly smart and knowledgeable but think LLM are over rated, fine.

And yes I know it's always the best time to say it that's the point of a glass half full, some sugar in the tea, or anything else nice
The John Deere RTK Radio 900, which does exactly that, costs about $1000 used. You put it on a tripod next to the field, or on top of a building. If you want season to season repeatability, it has to be in the same place. This is GPS correction, not a completely standalone navigation system.

There are more components for big farms. There are repeaters to re-broadcast the correction signal, which in the US is in the 900MHz ISM band. Some Deere dealers have their own stations throughout a farming community. There's a fee to use that.

It's like having your own server instead of using "the cloud". Works fine, takes more attention.

Any dumbing down of end-to-end encryption will hand Russia and China nuclear powered hacking tools for our economy, infrastructure and digital integrity. With near peer wars ongoing, I would relegate this stuff to a noise filter. The US DoD cannot afford encryption to be dumbed down. And they seem to understand that.

These initiatives will always exist because there will always be people that do not understand what encryption is and what it provides. But lots of smart people understand the consequences would be catastrophic, and rapid. We cannot eliminate dumb politically-motivated ideas.
Omg, I love the way this was handled. Impressive and well thought out.
California has had a jungle primary for a bit now, and there has been at least one general election that pitted Feinstein against a Democrat in the general election. As I mentioned elsewhere, the most common argument I got from Democrats around me for voting for her was seniority, for committee appointments and such.
Islam pretty much is a framework for how you deal with God and for how your life here and hereafter will be according to that relationship. That's all it is.

You also acknowledge that even straight people have constraints in Islam, i.e. no sleeping around etc, why not also argue that it's somehow terrible that straight people have to repress their desire to fornicate?

"You're invited to participate in our faith so long as you turn your focus away from your base desires and towards God and the hereafter"

You're insinuating that you're being targeted or singled out whereas Islam "blanket-bans" entire categories of what are considered regressive behaviours such as overeating, you're not being targeted here, so can you stop with the victim complex please? Islam is as against environmental destruction, abuse of animals or overeating as much as it is against what it sees as wrongful sexual desire. What I feel like is being missed for the trees here is that the "holisticness" of Islam. It's against what it sees as destructive behavior, without prejudicing or singling out any specific group. Look at the higher purpose here.

The surprising science of climate protests
If you want to use a quantitative method to weigh these two choices, use something like a Net-Present-Value ([1]) comparison of both these choices.

That would mean listing down all assumptions that impact the total value

- cash

- number of options, strike price, current fair market value

- future vests

- a calculated PE ratio for your stock and EPS (use some proxy if you don't have earnings directly)

- future earnings growth projections

- interest rate (for discounting future cashflows)

Do this for both choices and project the cash flow (for you) from both options.
Then choose the one with the higher NPV.

Unfortunately, there is some crystal ball gazing you have to do to get earnings, earnings growth, interest rate etc., But, if you use the same basis for computing both the options, you have a decent approach.

Don't disregard your gut feel. But do that after you have done the quantitative approach. That will inform and influence your gut reaction.

Good luck.

I'm not even american, but it is getting so tiring. Especially when it comes from europeans, something about throwing stones from glass houses I guess? Self loathing americans aren't much better since they usually have a completely laughable view of the outside world ("America is a third world country!!").

It's not even the fact that most of those generalizations are factually false, it's mostly just that it leads to every. single. discussion circling back to be about the USA.

(It reminds me of the super patriotic american circlejerk on the internet a decade+ ago, that had tons of europe bashing/america exceptionalism. But with the sides reversed and the delusional misplaced self-praise mostly coming from Europeans.)

We have had folks in our Discord successfully run highlight on a Raspberry Pi with 4GB RAM, so our recommendation is definitely on the safe side. We're running multiple infra services in the docker stack (postgres, opensearch, clickhouse, influxdb, kafka, redis) that we would look to consolidate in the future to help with running on leaner instances.
I mean, the more senior you get the more focus you have on the stuff you describe - system design interviews, leadership interviews, etc. I know a few people that interviewed at Meta E6 for example, and they were explicitly told the leetcode interviews don't really matter as much and they are just there to make sure you can actually code.

Imo Leetcode is fine for younger hires since at that point you are just looking for aptitude and/or someone who has the work ethic to grind.

With that being said, Lyfts hiring practices is probably NOT why they are laying people off. This is a business issue. No amount of infrastructure or hackernews-style idealistic interviews would be able to fundamentally change their position in their business segment, especially if its just for hiring ICs. The people at lyft are plenty talented, contrary to what OP is saying.

> I fully agree that continually denying yourself something that makes you happy isn't a virtue.

Murder? Mayhem? Destruction? Greed?

I agree homosexuality is a fine thing, but your comment is altogether far tooo broad.

Societal morals are often about denying ourselves things we want to do: often because our actions affect others or offend others, but also often for no strong reason at all. Virtue is almost defined by holding ourselves back from unvirtuous actions: can virtue exist in the world if we can all do whatever we will?

The EFF seems to be going the way of many advocacy groups, where as time goes by their positions on the things they advocate for become less nuanced and they stop taking into consideration how those things fit into the big picture.

An example of this is the National Rifle Association (NRA). They used to think that carrying guns around in public should be restricted and require licensing, and that dealers should need to be licensed, and that some kinds of guns should be restricted.

For the EFF the thing that made me think that they are going down that road was during the controversy over Apple's plans to scan for CSAM. Apple had actually announced two things: (1) scanning on-device for CSAM in material about to be uploaded to iCloud, and (2) scanning on-device of devices with parental controls enabled to block messages that contained content that might be harmful to children.

Most of the discussion was about #1, both from the EFF and from everybody else. #2 was much less discussed.

Here's how #2 worked in the case where you have a child who is 13 or older with a phone on your family plan and you have enabled scanning.

1. I send your kid pictures of my dick.

2. The software temporarily blocks that and gives your child a modal dialog telling them it blocked something because their parents think it might be harmful, and asking the child if they want to go ahead and view the material.

3. If the child says no the material remains blocked and nothing else happens.

4. If the child says yes my dick picture is unblocked and nothing else happens.

If your child is under 13, here is how it goes:

1-3: same as the 13 and above case.

4. If the child says yes they are given another modal asking of they are sure and reiterating that their parents think the material may be harmful, and telling them if they do elect to view it their parents will be notified. They are again asked if they want to proceed to view it or not.

5. If the child says no, the material remains blocked and nothing else happens.

6. If the child says yes my dick picture is unblocked, and the parents are notified.

The EFF objected to this, on the grounds that #6 violates my privacy since I sent my dick pictures to your kid, not you, and did not consent to you getting access.

WTF? It used to be that a big argument from privacy groups against server-side scanning to protect children is that children shouldn't be getting to the bad parts of the net in the first place, and keeping the kids away was something the parents should take care of with things like time restrictions and parental control software.
Nonsense! I have run a meth lab in my basement long before blockchain.
I agree with your sentiment here. imo they chose the wrong words to describe what they meant e.g. ~0.5-1GB memory usage is more like a hobby-setup (assuming you run it on the same hw as the services you monitor).

However, after scrolling through the GitHub page, I feel like this is not a service which aims at people (might be completely mistaken) who either have a small set of services to monitor (and/or understand the logs and/or the interest to do it) or have their homelab at a relatively low financial priority (1x 8GB 2400 CL17 is €15 here).

8GB for a single service in a (home) environment is, imo, still a lot, but I think it is a sort-of reasonable figure for what it does and need to do to make that happen
> A horrifying example of ~peculiar glitches~ incompetent people with monopoly on violence causing real harm :(

The people who authorize the raids aren't supposed to blindly rely on tech without being aware of its limitations.

A person who doesn't understand that GeoIP doesn't give you coordinates to raid should not be in a position to send raids to such coordinates, and is the one ultimately responsible for this.

The fact that there will be no consequences for them is the real issue.

In the 250 years since America’s founding, the idea that economic success is directly conflated with divine favor has only become more deeply ingrained, dressing itself up in the philosophy of eugenics, various economic schools, and so-called “rationalism,” even as we have (nominally) moved ever farther away from its origins in Protestant Ideology. The idea that unemployment will take on a new meaning in this context seems unlikely. Quite the contrary, the idea that AI-driven dispossession is necessary and preordained to sanctify the wisdom and virtue of its creators seems to already be taking hold.
Sibling comment is a good point. Also there are lots of other battery chemistries available that use less, or no, lithium. Or approaches burning hydrogen, or ammonia, or methane.

More broadly, this is a class of complaint that you can't see every detail of path and the destination from the very beginning of the road. The solution to that isn't to stand around and complain about it, but _start moving towards the destination_.
>SetCurrentDirectory allows setting the current directory to a UNC share.

Exactly. The cmd prompt not setting UNC paths as current directory was introduced around Windows 2000 (or maybe post-XP, it's been a while) to help legacy batch files being run from a share and then getting confused by being on a UNC path instead of one beginning with a drive letter.

This was also why, when you do a pushd \\server\share cmd.exe puts you on a mapped drive instead of directly on a UNC path.

If you use the Windows native version of tcsh, for example, you can happily use UNC paths as current directories and run commands (provided they don't try to parse drive letters from their CWD)
The company doesn't care, but your manager and you team might. It is maintaining those relationships that works to your benefit in the future. Burning bridges just because you can is a pretty reliable way of limiting your future career prospects, at least in your local area. Word gets around.
VirGL works very well but it sorely misses a Windows driver. It would be a gamechanger, but writing such a driver is probably very complex and a massive PITA, so I understand why no one has done it yet.

With modern software such as DXVK, Zink and VKD3D a lot of the burden of implementing Direct3D and OpenGL would probably be reduced by writing a Vulkan implementation and piggybacking over it for the rest though.
> It's hilarious that the very first example you pick is the quintessential example of Western industrialization and infrastructure.

True. America's failure to maintain and update its rail infrastructure relative to other countries is downright absurd.

The US may have had rail first, but you wouldn't know it to look at them.
I think theres a point of compensation that you reach where you just stop caring about the work or the company. If I was being payed that much a year, I'd be thinking about retiring early and trying to leave the working stiff life in as short of time as possible since with that compensation, its actually realistic to become a feudal lord in a few years especially buying into the market in a recession and riding the wave in the following years. 2-4 years of experience tells me they are right out of college too, so if you are fine with that standard of living you could realistically be living off 20k a year or less and the rest is just banked. Then in the back of your head you think if you ever do get laid off, you now have a title that was compensated at that much on your resume and new doors open for you, which you can take time opening with your massive nest egg.

Intuitively it seems like logging and error reporting software would be prime targets for supply chain attacks, as they have access to a treasure trove of exploitable data. A strategic modification in some tiny transitive dependency or two and your logging server could log not just for you. Presumably, gathered data could be used to deanonymize users or exploit your software.

How do people go about vetting and/or self-hosting those, if you operate [software for] a business with actual customers? Is stripping sensitive data at the client enough? Do you lock down outgoing connections through external networking configuration if you self-host? Am I being too paranoid?
I still don't understand some of this -- I developed in Java for 5+ years.

>JVM runtimes have a relatively high startup cost
I think many people are okay with that when developing server software that's going to run weeks at a time. It can get a bit annoying with trying to rapidly iterate. And I think things are changing pretty quickly with AOT builds and general improvements.

>and the build processes for a lot of JVM deliverables is an ungodly mess.

I recall using "mvn package." That's it. This was on two different systems that served a good bit of traffic and weren't simple trivial projects.
What you're doing sounds fair. My reading of the upthread discussion was that someone who had asked for a bonus buyout should delay their departure until they could double-dip. That would be a huge red flag to me, if I were a new employer. But if it's all just part of comp, there's no specific issue.

Of course, the new company can say "you get X signing bonus if you join this calendar year, and x/2 signing bonus if you join next calendar year, since time is of the essence".

You have to remember that General Relativity is wrong. We don't know exactly how it's wrong, but it's wrong. In light of that fact, it's not really a proper answer to say that "General Relativity says it isn't so it isn't." It is true that GR says gravity isn't a force, but the implication doesn't follow. We don't know whether a Grand Unified Theory would have gravity as a force or not. Given that a great deal of the answer to "Is gravity a force?" depends heavily on the definition of force being used, we don't even know what the final definition will be in light of a GUT. There may or may not be a meaningful distinction between gravity and other forces in the real universe.

In QM, gravity isn't a force because gravity doesn't exist. Clearly this is wrong as well. Saying "GR says gravity isn't a force" is effectively the same thing as saying "Gravity doesn't exist because QM says it doesn't." This is exactly where both theories break, so we can't use them to answer this question.
