Some of that may be true, but the world is not zero-sum, definitely not zero-sum at all levels.

If you go buy some wood and build a piece of furniture, you have created something of value that is more than what it was before, and the elite have nothing to say or benefit from it.

And if buying is a bridge too far, you can go into the woods, cut down a tree, and drag it home and fashion it into something.

Yes, entropy means everything will eventually slump into the heat-death of the universe, but here and now we can fight entropy and make our world, even if just the local world of where we live, a bit better.
dfw has world class restaurants and one of the best airports. and a highly diverse housing stock. you can get a new house at 400k or you can live in a mansion or high rise condo or anywhere in between. recreation is the major downside and the heat but that’s what the airports are for. world class private and public schools, major universities, etc

you can also get a mortgage. good luck in buenos aires!
Depends. I can imagine the zoning in some parts of Europe being “this property is zoned as a theatre and can only be used as such” and that will drive down rent.
Yellen is calling CEOs personally to warn on US debt ceiling, sources say
I expect my interviewees to use Google and am disappointed if they don't. It's more important to me that they know how to find the right answer than it is that they just know it off the top of their head. 90% of their time is going to be spent figuring out how to solve all the known-unknowns they're going to come across.
And an interpretation more cynical than that:

The manager who hired them can either a) fire them, admitting they made a mistake, and taking a headcount and budget reduction; or b) promote them, congratulating themselves for the successful hire and increasing the budget.

Nobody gets promoted to stop doing damage, they get fired. Contrary to popular belief, it's not difficult to fire people, less so incompetent people.

The argument goes that copyright has allowed massive corporations to buy up and exert near total control over all of our shared stories. And when you own the cultural touchstones of whole generations that gives you power that no one else can ever wield.

There is a massive amount of amazing stories based on ancient myths because it's one of the few large corpora that isn't copywritten. Once you see it in media you can't unsee it. The only space where that kind of creativity can thrive anymore is fan-fiction which lives in weird limbo where it's illegal but the copyright owners don't care. And when you want to bring any of it to the mainstream you have to hide it, all of Ali Hazelwoods books are reworked fanfics because she can't use the actual characters that inspired her -- her most famous book "The Love Hypothesis" is a Reylo fic.

Go check out https://archiveofourown.org/media and see how many works are owned by a few large corporations.
In EU yes.
Yeah, dependencies are a pain. I'll do security patches ~immediately, and have gotten into a ~quarterly rhythm of just making a big push to upgrade everything all at once. Usually it's pretty painless, but sometimes it opens up a big rabbit hole. But I've found the more I stay on top of them, the easier it is. Big version jumps are always hard/scary.

Re: devx... it kinda sucks, but I've made it work. Honestly, that could be a whole follow up blog post. But basically I do dev in a generated project, and then have some scripts that use git patches to apply the changes back into Pegasus itself. After that I have to add the cookiecutter/templating logic. I learned early on to do as little dev as possible in the actual generator repo, because - as you said - nothing works.
Lock free doesn't solve this. One thread will always make progress, but you have no way to ensure it is your thread so you can miss a deadline with lock free. When the data is under a lot of contention across many cores this is an issue (most of us don't have hundreds of cores so we don't see this).

Generally lock-free is better for these situations as odds are when you hold a lock at least some CPU cycles are used for something that isn't directly modifying the data that needs the lock - those cycles the other CPU can touch it when lock-free. (note that when using a lock there is a trade-off, often it is better to hold the lock for longer than needed instead of dropping, doing a couple operations and then locking again)
Remember when they said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows?

It’s good business considering that a DCP leak of a movie the first day in the theater could be catastrophic.

Heck, a leak of any DCP is bad for the movie studio. DCPs are the highest quality available version of a film the public will ever see. They are better than 4K Blu-Ray in every respect; fantastic news if you are a pirate who wants to re-compress it into some cheap discs for Malaysia. It’s also fantastic news if you are a shady local movie theater wanting to skip royalty payments - what studio executive is going to notice?

(Also, before anyone says “just go after the pirates then,” many pirates are from countries like Russia who don’t give a darn. If a pirate is hosting your movie on Russian bulletproof hosting with a Russian domain, you are basically SOL as a movie studio. All you can do is ask for DNS blocking in countries where that's legal; and hope that you can identify the pirates and wait until they make the mistake of stepping on a US Ally's soil if they ever do.)

I'm using a Fold 4, but would've preferred on the Flip series given its smaller footprint. But Samsung made the asinine decision to enable Dex on the Flip series (could be due to thermals?).

Dex actually works starting with the S20 series I believe, with the same feature parity as the latest devices. So you could pickup a cheap used S20 device to try it out.
This kind of stuff doesn't hurt my feelings, but I do have a question. If I'm being a "bootlicker", how does that justify hostility?

Wouldn't that be good for you and others who feel the same as you? Like, shouldn't you actually encourage "bootlickers" if you have this kind of devil may cry, realpolitik view of morality? Otherwise I'm just competition right?

There are no wrong answers here, I really just want to understand what you think better.

It seems quite the opposite: HN biases towards anti-Apple, often for bizarre reasons that require lots of mental gymnastics to justify.

You don’t really have to buy AirPods, there are lots of products out in the market that compete in that space. Just because Apple provides a certain product doesn’t mean you are being forced to buy it.
Not even remotely. My other comments in this thread demonstrate this, I think. But clearly you're more interested in misrepresenting or misunderstanding my position in order to have someone to demonize.

So, I teach IT at a university, and of course part of me has concerns.

But honestly, at heart, I respect the hacker ethos more than I do the majority of "big (or little) tech" business hiring processes. They accomplished the job.

When I deal with cheating, I see it as my job to be "ahead of it" or I'm not worthy to teach? (And also, I don't much see it my job to be a cheating cop as much as it is my job to teach.)

PERFECT case in point; all the Chat AI things that came out recently. I have a few multiple choice tests that I used to be able to recycle pretty easily. But ChatGPT comes out, and can get 100% with explanations on them. What that meant to me was "time to rewrite at least some of the questions."

And so today, I tell my students exactly this. Most of the time it'll probably be correct, but I've deliberately put like 5 or 6 in there that the Chat things confidently answer completely incorrectly. Good luck.

(note: Yes, they're open-internet / take home. They weren't until the pandemic, and to my complete surprise, my averages came out exactly the same whether or not they were closed-book one hour in class or open-internet, take a whole weekend)
From moviegoers point-of-view it has made a world of difference. For a smaller release the number of film copies we had in circulation here in Finland was miniscule and there was no chance of seeing those movies outside the bigger cities. With DCPs we've seen a resurgence of independent and/or countryside cinemas.

My lifetime experience says to suspect software did this (I've had careers in both hardware design, designing large memory subsystems, and in software development). Yes it's one bit changed which makes the mind go to the ever present alpha particle, but code also flips single bits. If some library code inside a process generating this data wanted to update a bitmap structure but got the address wrong, you'd have the same outcome.

For this particular use case all the possible benefits from integrity consensus can be obtained while still having a centralized authority. The grandparent post notes that it would be better if "several nodes have to agree for the chain to advance.", and that's true, but there's no benefit for it to be distributed, the best and most efficient way to implement that is to simply have like three nodes in a single room 'voting' in a 2-out-of-3 manner, and there is no need to bring in extra complexity required to do the same thing without centralized authority.
When I was younger, we used to sneak food in. It wasn't like anyone checked if someone's purse or pockets had snacks in it. Granted, this might be different in various parts of the country, but I grew up going to movies every week and never had an issue with bringing food into a theater, so long as you made an attempt to hide it.

We even snuck in things like burritos and tacos.
Sounds similar to how (most? all?) life insurance policies will pay out for suicide after a two-year waiting period - the idea being that those who are dedicated enough to plan out that far in advance don't actually end up going through with it, or it's a rounding error.

So perhaps the medical exam stuff should be swapped around; everyone can get life insurance, but if you want payout for certain things to kick in before two years, you get a medical and pass.
Plenty of products are still alive and kicking. AppEngine is a great example of that. Initial release date: April 7, 2008.
These days TVs with large screens are everywhere. When 32" was considered a big TV, theaters delivered a different experience.

I've stopped going to theaters because the cost/benefit analysis doesn't work out. I've got a long list of entertainment subscriptions that need to be paid each month, and honestly because today's movies aren't even worth a $5 ticket price. It feels as though they're too focused on technology and not enough on having a good story.
> They throw ideas at the wall, like spaghetti, and hope things stick.

Yes, and whether they stick or not, they tear down the wall after 2-3 years because they seemingly still haven’t figured out how to internally incentivize KTLO/running stable products (other than a few flagship ones) rather than building shiny new things.
No preemption is needed, the call to free might unmap the page the pointer points to. I was considering adding a paragraph about that but didn't bother. A page fault isn't a privilege escalation issue though, it's a pretty normal thing.
I think they nailed it with the original 1790 act. 14 years + 14 more is plenty.
You don't actually offer any argument other than saying it's bad cause it's bad.

If everyone who cheated and passed performed so well that they got promotions then the world would be a much better place than reality where most cheaters fail hilariously.

If you can't even be bothered to give employees a real interview you don't care about the company and at that point the company is already bloated.

What kind of person are you that when reading a story and seeing 100 wrong things you pick out the one thing that is arguable and die on that hill? An VLLM sycophant?

It would be done in-memory on whatever server the load-balancer assigns the visitor to, at the same time that the request is checked for permissions anyway.

It’s a trade off: countries that are hard to fire are also hard to hire. So your life is great in Europe once you secured employment, but employers are extra careful and very conservative in hiring.
Sadly it seems tech hiring wants to optimize for cheating by putting a lot of importance on tests and credentials. Deemphasize these, and assess candidates more holistically, and cheating is no longer a factor. It’s easy to cheat on a test, or get a credential you don’t deserve, but these are amazingly treated as the solution rather than the cause of cheating.
Perhaps the problem described is actually not the important one to solve. Once you leave the realm of pure digital operations and try to apply blockchain to any real-world use case you run into the same problem again and again - the inputs to the blockchain could be wrong, either through an honest mistake or malice.

Blockchain does nothing to resolve this, and it seems like a much more more common issue than malicious manipulation of data on the backend. Indeed, centralized authorities are actually a kind of solution to the dirty input problem, because they can alter records to agree with reality after the fact if a mismatch is discovered.
If you look at the US’s richest (or the world’s for that matter) they’re not usually bankers, which raises a few questions about your hypothesis
> the malicious and unnecessary prosecution of law enforcement officers

As opposed to what? Turning a blind eye to blatant corruption and crimes committed by law enforcement officers?

I'm not the type of person to shout "ACAB!" at the top of my lungs at the slight mentioning of the words, "law enforcement officer", but if any civilian can be subjugated to "malicious and unnecessary prosecution," and if law enforcement officers are technically civilians, then law enforcement officers should not expect preferential treatment.

Personally, I think police should be held to a higher standard (i.e. like military personnel), but also rewarded with much higher compensation.

Sure, these "unnecessary and malicious prosecutions" are a strain on the justice system, but only a fool would think our justice system is not already highly inefficient to begin with. I seriously question how often these prosecutions even occur to begin with.
Yeah, I mean one thing that's interesting about the world is that every country cheats, but we all cheat in our own ways. I don't think there's anyway to get around it.

That said, I don't really want American culture to continue down this "if the ends justify the means" trend that we've been on. We're not cut out for it! We'll get our lunch eaten.
> they also need to fix their process to actually test skills.

If we're being honest, LC style interviews aren't even about testing skills, it's trying to proxy for testing raw intelligence (or at least the ability to remember and regurgitate lots of facts). If companies could just IQ test people and hire by IQ, there'd be a lot less weirdness in interviews, but that's illegal (and probably rightly so).
But driving and having to take flights for entertainment are precisely what people hate about American urbanism and one of the bigger reasons why people move back.

btw I was thinking if we had a visual interface with the request details (as in local switch, router, which AS, DNS or host is the request at) then it might be even more intuitive and easy to learn/understand. I don't think the exact private position of the packet can be traced that easily on a web request, but if it can then it probably might already be out there somewhere.
Apparently this is moderately common especially during remote Covid work; there were some discussions of it on HN, even to where the person interviewed and accepted was not the person working, and apparently the work was being done by an entire group of people.
> I used to see 3-5 movies a month, now I see 3-5 per year

Same. Except it has nothing to do with theaters and everything to do with Hollywood and what's being released. The question becomes if Hollywood went back to the "old model", the model that saw less franchises and more comedy/drama/etc releases. Would it put butts in seats at the theater? Or has the latest generation/tv-tech obsoleted or diluted the experience thus shrinking the market going forward? (eg. like ecommerce did to shopping malls) Hard to know, but I do miss good unique movies.
the difference between movies and other activities is that i can watch movies at home while escape rooms, paintball or any live performance can not. so paying $30 for paintball or an opera may be reasonable because there is no alternative, but watching a movie has to compete with the option of watching at home where i can create a cinema environment with a small projector and a large white wall too.
