Technically, it would be better if everybody had internet access.

BUT, it means that Amazon creating a selection pressure for people who cheat. Long term this will be corrosive to the organizational fiber of the corporation as idiotic unrealistic leetcode questions are to the technical fiber.

Amazon has become way buggier for me over the last few years and so has Google. I think this is intimately connected to their organizational dysfunctions.
I don't think much is wasted on encryption. Most is wasted on backwards compatibility in the form of negotiating protocols, algorithm, extenstions, etc.

If there would forever be only one encryption algorithm in use we we wouldn't need most of the stuff.
What is impressive (or hilarious) is that someone opened an issue because it wasn't compatible with VB5[0]. The maintainer added a VB5 branch which apparently fixed the issues.

Get stuff done but not exactly meet all of the requirements.

So maybe features will get implemented but rules and laws not necessarily respected.

And perhaps that’s useful for some companies.
Correct. You have unethical people now, you are probably “cheating” at work by taking credit for ideas not theirs.
I have a motivated pal who's helped me a couple times, but some of them were turnkey. ISTR that moving from MT to WP was pretty seamless.
> But if you consider that a lot of people go out to eat once a week and regularly spend far more than $20, then that $20 price tag is not so crazy.

It’s not that $20 is a crazy amount of money. It’s that it is crazy for what you get. I think restaurants would be in a tough spot too if you could get unlimited McDonalds spit out from a box in your kitchen for $18/month. People would still eat out, but much less given the substitutes.

My MLB team regularly does $15 nosebleed tickets. My MLS team does $25 nosebleed tickets a few times a seasons and the food is much cheaper. But it’s also super easy to pay $100/ticket. With movies, everyone pays the same price.

I don’t think movies are worse as I went to the movies pretty consistently over the past 30 years and there were ups and downs.

The price of movie tickets has kept up with inflation for the most part, just doubling in the past 25 years [0] so I think it’s just that the price of digital goods has dropped so much (mp3 in 2000 was $1, still $1 today) because the price of bits gets cheaper. And this is bad for physical goods with clear substitutes.

Interestingly, movie theaters should have benefits from digitalization as digital projectors are much cheaper as film costs a lot to produce and distribute and projectionists used to be the highest paid employee.

Sure, and in the meantime an established, talented DM will now have to struggle harder to eat because the established institutions no longer support their work. That's all I'm saying. Forcing titans of an industry to go back to struggling in indie spaces without their previous audience because industries don't value quality work is precisely why Ikea makes money hand over fist, way more than any freelance individual carpenter.
Buy a Hisense U6H. Absolute best value on the market right now. It has full local array dimming, runs Google TV, and is cheaper than the competition.

>Pakistan and Khan mess. Super happy they finally arrested him. We shall see how it goes, I'm optimistic it should stabilize pakistan.

Hahahahahahahaahahahahahaha.

By this, your definition of stabilize is that the USA is again more firmly in command of Pakistan as a country. Khan is an antagonist who tried and failed to get Pakistan to be truly independent and not controlled by any other nation. Pakistan is unfortunately a pawn in geopolitical moves, and with his arrest the stooges in place will happily bend and dance for the powers that be as long as they can pocket a tidy sum.
At this point the only thing I can say is. Have you ever been a Julia user? Or are you actively developing Julia? If you are actively developing Julia, yea sure pull down the feature branch after someone's reported a bug, hot fix your toml to point too some specific version after reading ten diffs to be sure you have the right one, maybe stand up your own package server or pay 50k for one from julia computing, recompile Julia itself and everything is totally fine! If it's not no big deal just stomp over the type with your own code, yay. Maybe that's even part of your job. If you're a user expecting to do development and receive updates on packages or language, all I'll say is best of luck.

> all authority is built on faulty logic and falsehoods

That’s a big claim. If you’re talking about current national and state-level governments, sure, granted. But there is plenty of legitimate authority out there.
The people who hired you probably cheated too. Lots of bad hires covering for each other, often without realizing it.
Even within the school system. I intend to teach my kids the only problem with cheating is the punishment that might result. Cheating has a price along with a weighted chance of that price applying. Is what you might gain worth the expected price?

The greatest regret of my life is not lying blatantly to get admissions and scholarships to university.
My comment wasn't really meant for you. It wasn't a criticism of you. It was a message indicating that everyone should be free to make their own decisions and shouldn't feel pressured based on how anyone else perceives them. Perhaps it was poorly worded.

“No internet during dev” is not a business requirement, it’s hazing

When I used to run interviews (no longer working) I’d learn the most from seeing how candidates resourcefully used google, skimmed results, found relevant info. That was immediately revealing.
Kind of irony that there is no Korean language option...
It's also possible the company is setting themselves up for ethics/regulatory issues by selecting for individuals willing to cheat. I guess this should be no surprise since the culture at Amazon already sucks.
I'm sorry, but I disagree with the analogy. If you can spitball the presentation, your time is likely spent better elsewhere than preparing for the presentation.

The best long distance runners, the Tarahumara, got brought to races. The first they didn't do well because they were forced to wear the shoes of the sponsor.

FinGPT is on the horizon, but not much emphasis is being placed on what information is going to be the most valuable. Exploration into the working domains of AI-powered financial models needs to be increased and shared for better understanding of how these black boxes work. Garbage in gets garbage out, so it’s important to not be blinded by the results of small scale tests and continued commitment and focus should be spent in domain research/exploration.
Android forever reminds me of an unwritten chapter in David Foster Wallace’s Supposedly Fun Things I’ll Never Do Again.
I use it for sim racing just about every other day at home. It is, by far and away, the most compelling gaming experience I've ever had. Having race high-end karts before, it is closer to the "real" feeling than I could've ever imagined -- certainly not in terms of the danger and things like that, but with high-end peripherals the driving experience, sense of competition, and mental effort required mirror it perfectly. Truly a steal at many times the cost if that's your sort of thing.

I also got my pilot's license a few years ago after developing a love of flying from the Microsoft Flight Sim 95 era and beyond. In VR, while I've never had the "full controls," in higher-end aircraft software I could very accurately (literally to just about 100%) recreate my IRL flights with the exception of the feel of the yoke and whatnot. Again, awesome gaming experience.

Lastly, I've played quite a bit of poker in PokerstarsVR. The thing that surprises me the most about THOSE experiences is that this attempt to create a pretty simple and at first-glance unexciting experience in VR to me revealed just how incredible VR actually CAN be. Like, yes, I get the value-add that the videogame can have for something like flying an airliner or a formula car, but wouldn't you always rather play poker with your friends IRL? Well, to me, VR showed me that that answer is a resounding 'no.' IRL poker is slow (just from shuffling and dealing, to say nothing of folks fumbling with chips), if you play poker well you'll be sitting out a lot of hands, so that can get boring, etc. In VR, however, I could see many, many more hands/hr, I could pin a TV to the virtual room and watch whatever I wanted as I'm talking with folks all over the world, could engage in side-games with the person next to me if I wasn't in a hand, etc. Just... unbelievably compelling. It made me a believer that I could EASILY see how in the near future even if I had 8 friends at home who really wanted to play poker, that I'd rather have each of us reaching out for our personal VR devices to do that in rather than reaching for a deck of cards.
Respecting What Came Before

The first line is a strong claim, and KSA as well as Iran would disagree.

Pakistan may say the have Sharia, but hadd is rarely enforced as far as I know. Theft is common and so are gangs.
Using robots.txt as a model for anything doesn't work. All a robots.txt is is a polite request to please follow the rules in it, there is no "legal" agreement to follow those rules, only a moral imperative.

Robots.txt has failed as a system, if it hadn't we wouldn't have captchas or Cloudflare.

In the age of AI we need to better understand where copyright applies to it, and potentially need reform of copyright to align legislation with what the public wants. We need test cases.

The thing I somewhat struggle with is that after 20-30 years of calls for shorter copyright terms, lesser restrictions on content you access publicly, and what you can do with it, we are now in the situation where the arguments are quickly leaning the other way. "We" now want stricter copyright law when it comes to AI, but at the same time shorter copyright duration...

In many ways an ai.txt would be worse than doing nothing as it's a meaningless veneer that would be ignored, but pointed to as the answer.
Ironically this option does not exist for me. Pretty much sums up Apple's desired usage level of PWA: Almost 0.
Of course it can be caused by a Samsung issue, but this UI is generally so well hidden because they don't want people to use it.
I've done a lot of screening interviews and cheating does happen. Some of my favorites:

* developer attempts to pass something off as video lag, as he attempts to lip sync someone else's answer.

* developer had printed all the 'common' answers on the wall behind his computer, and would look up to them for reference as we were talking. Then the tape came off and covered him in a a paper stack overflow.

* the glorious mechanical keyboard, as they google for an answer.

* interviewed one person and had a different one show up.
But is it really much more complicated? It looks very simple to me. Maybe actually even simpler than such state machine?
Yeah it was late, sorry. If you don't mind: which comment are you referring to? (Seems we have a different top by now).

An always-reactive notebook is essentially a "literate spreadsheet", where you have data cells in between multimedia descriptions. In this model, all computed data is always up to date with whatever changes you make to the input parameters, including things like graphics connected to interactive sliders and text boxes. You can prototype the logic of an application very fast with real data and interactions.
when i took my quantum mechanics qualifier, i studied for a month, i was honest, i worked so hard. The exam was so tough (I passed), but as I was walking out I saw a student who had all the old exam questions with solutions printed out on his "table of integrals". Sure, maybe I "learned" some quantum mechanics more than that guy. But it's a topic I have never used (I do geophysics and machine learning) so I don't think I remember much of anything about quantum mechanics. So what was the lesson learned there? "Work smart, not hard"? "Do whatever the minimum is because that is all that gets assessed"? "The goal is all that matters"? "The ends justify the means"? "Worry about yourself"?
Close enough, I found a free pdf on Windows Vista ~2008 and there was a chapter with VBScript. You could write these and just double click them to run, spent many hours in notepad making dialogs and small calculator apps etc. Was pretty shocked when I picked up cpp shortly after and the tutorial told me I needed something called a compiler.
What does spitball mean? I don’t prepare for presentations but I can’t tell how that would be cheating.
It's a bit like their abysmal process for detecting product fakes and review fakes.
I am really hoping for micro-LED devices to reach the market soon. My favorite thing to do with my Vive Pro was night flights in flight simulator... then got an Index, which is far superior in every way, but the lack of deep, deep blacks just really doesn't make those night flights feel how they used to!
Thank you Samsung...

What I am saying is when I last ran this experiment a few years back word .doc formatted files (didn’t check .docx) returned the most calls from recruiters in comparison to .txt or .pdf or .html.
I wouldn’t blame the devs for their quality issues. Try ownership.
Probably none because the problem here is unburnt methane.
That sounds fantastic, have you looked into how to actually get access to new films though? I'd love to also set up some community theater and mainly do cinema classics, but it would be cool to also be able to show the less popular (ie not Avengers 6 or Fast and Furious 12) movies that are in theaters too, but I couldn't figure out how to get into the theatrical distribution after half a day of googling
The most interesting example that I read about was a Facebook employee trying to get a new job. They hadn’t done any Leetcode in many years and struggled with it as it was so unrelated to their work. I’m surprised that companies don’t re evaluate people on Leetcode on a regular basis given the amount of weight placed on this.
And this is how you realize real life is not a board game. And this is how you're left with an impostor syndrome after a career based on google-fu and stackoverflow copy pasta.
Surely fun to develop. Worst spent marketing budget in history.
We live in an era of transition. Deals and speed are more important than rigor.

When the easier money dries up, that will change.
How is spitballing a presentation cheating? It's the equivalent of taking a test without studying, not presenting somebody else's work as your own.
Definitely not. I don't think there many standard libraries that use syscalls for every lock. It is near universal to attempt a lock in user space (maybe even spin a few times) and only call the kernel if you need to wait. So low-contention locks should very rarely make a syscall.
Can you give a live example? What is in this ai.txt that isn't in an about page that almost every site has?
Maybe a good candidate in this organization is one that will leverage every edge they have to produce a desired result. Resourcefulness and risk tolerance are a potent pair.
Honestly it really says something about society that this social experience has degraded to this point. I don't know how it happened and I don't know how to fix it but being sick in a theater is not acceptable, more unacceptable than the behaviors I was mentioning. Then you have people throwing popcorn or worse etc. No respect anymore.
Am I the only one that found this stuff surprisingly cheap? Seems like practically nothing compared to the real estate and building costs.
> Average skill of LATAM devs is still low compared to the US

I'd say it is a sample bias of the developers working as contractors (average devs with good enough English).

Top LATAM talent moves abroad or works as employees at international companies that pay way more than nearshores.

"You can actually get out of Boston fairly quickly to reasonably priced real estate" Maybe compared to SV. I'd argue that it's surprisingly still very expensive even an hour out of Boston. I always wonder who are these wealthy people that can afford these million+ dollar mansions not even close to Boston.
Honestly, I'd stick with python or learn a statically compiled language to broaden your world. I spent years in the Julia situation and it's more of a cult than anything else. If you ever end up with a job asking for Julia(not likely), you can pick it up in a week or so of free time after some muscle memory kicks in.
It's also possible that they kept cheating in order to get promoted, of course.

Ah, so == is compliant, and =:= is extra. Makes sense!
But that's per person and if you have a family it's easy to get over $100 for a theater trip.
The cheapness is in the eyes of the beholder because in reality it is only cheap compared to iPhone.

But that means the culture is also broken. Credit isn’t something you can steal in the dead of night; everyone knows who did the work.

At some point, if someone says their company hires cheaters, promotes thieves, and has a culture that celebrates those things. . . either there is more to the story or that person needs to run like hell because the company is toxic.
I don’t live in New York and two tickets all in can regularly be had for $50, all in. Although interestingly movie tickets are only $20 for regular and $25 for imax in Manhattan so the value calculations vary a bit depending on where you live.

Also you need to be selective on when you go. If you have to go now, you’ll may more. If you can wait until May 20th you can get two tickets vs Montreal for $38 [0]

For me the biggest benefit of lock free programming is avoiding deadlocks.

Locks are not composable. Unless you are aware of what locks every function in your call tree is using, you can easily end up with a deadlock.

Not sure what imaginary "are you mad?" you're referring to, but nobody can force you to respond to the actual points in the posts you reply to, so go ahead and don't.
This has been happening for quite a while now, I'm in Brazil and most of my career (11 out of 17 years) was built working for companies in the US and eventually Europe. I know many that followed the same path.

One thing that I'm surprised is not happening more, and I'd love to hear your comments about the reasons, is the move of senior engineers from places with high cost of living to countries with much lower cost of living, specially for those that are already remote. Another person commented of such move but considering how much more disposable income one would have I'm very surprised this isn't happening much more often.

I certainly understand how complicated such a change is, specially if you have spouse and children, but the difference in purchasing power and cost of living is so dramatic that a senior eng making 120k USD per year could easily afford a nice house (mortgage), a decent(bilingual/international) education for the children, healthcare for the family (private that wouldn't bankrupt you) and would still have a considerable amount of disposable income for whatever else they think is relevant (I'm using south of Brazil, where I live, as a reference for that).

If you are in such position, have you considered it? If so, what is stopping you right now?
What is the reward for putting in the presentation effort? If I get my salary if I spitball and I get my salary whether I put in effort, why bother?

I don't bother prepare for client support calls, mostly because I don't want to do them and want to be considered incompetent at them so I am not asked to help in the future as much. So at least for me, presentations are nothing but more work.
aside from the other comments here - robots.txt does work to some extent because it tells the crawler something it might be useful for the crawler to know - if you have blocked it from crawling part of yur site it might be actually beneficial to the crawler to follow that restriction (to be a good citizen) because if it doesn't you might block it by seeing a user agent showing up a part of the site it shouldn't.

AI.txt doesn't have this feedback to the AI to improve it. Also it seems likely users might have reason to lie.
Is there porn on Wikipedia though?
Fake it until you make it.

YMMV
It seems to me that CT (or its operators?) should take a lesson from adversarial blockchains (cryptocurrency) here: a new state should not be propagated without verification.

I think that, for CT, this should be fairly straightforward. Some machine with access to the signing keys should generate new nodes and signatures and push those internally to some front-end machines. The latter (on separate physical machines) should fully validate the result before propagating it any farther. No outside user sees the result until at least, say, 3 machines fully validate it. Then, if validation fails, the state could be rolled back internally.

When a rollback occurs, the signing machine would think it’s signing a new, conflicting state, but that’s fine: no one outside the log operator has seen the old conflicting state.
