It's what allowed me to make the jump to NixOS without having to give up much - every userspace program that isn't packaged up or has quirks along with anything gaming related where I consistently want the newest and greatest runs inside an Arch distrobox container. Can highly recommend!
It's as if there were never ups and downs in tech before 2022. As someone who was working in the dotcom era (and before), I've seen so many booms/busts/layoffs and gluts/shortages that I've lost count.

TL;DR: This is nothing new. At all. And it's certainly not limited to the 'tech' industry.
I’ve been playing guitar for almost 30 years and it never stops being an amazing world to learn! It is endless!

What do you have in mind? I can't think of a case where you'd want "X is typing" to persist more than a second or maybe two past the last-received message that affirmed X is, in fact, still typing. I can think of cases in which a short timeout might break down in bad ways (making the notice really jittery on high-latency connections, say) but I think those are probably just situations in which any "... is typing" message is simply gonna be bad in one way or another.
How do you mean?

I'm going based on the propagation of expectations through the system.

The expectation of a uniform distribution is half the bound. Unless there's some math shenanigans going on, I believe that the expected expected value of a distribution drawn from distributions should be 1/2 * 1/2 * 1 in this case.

Of course it's not a bound but right now I'm having a hard time determining otherwise.

Is there a mathematical motivation for e^-n here? That seems an odd choice since the uniform distribution is 0-1 bounded generally. However I could understand if it emerges in a few conditions.
Lipstick on a pig. OCSP Stapling is a complicated and convoluted override for certificate lifetimes that should never be used and isn't in practice. All three are just different chains to the same CA organizations (in practice), which could just as easily maintain two sets of CT logs.

I should get around to making an "Evil-CA" software that explicitly maintains those two logs.
> I predict more in-person learning interactions.

Which would be a huge benefit for the overall quality of education. A lot of student can write a passable essay in a word processor with spell check and tutors... but those same students sometimes have absolutely no idea what they've written. Group assignments has taught me this many times over.
When you say move into management, is that something that an individual can really control? I'm an IC and I've performed well but I've never thought of management as something I could actually go into. Instead, I've always seen management as something a company decides to open the door for.
This is in reply to the GP, which was inappropriately flag-killed.

The difference is probably that Stallman has no money or power, so he's an easy, safe target to attack.
TBH in Europe "canceling" a meeting is quite common in French and Italian, while the social media inclined "woke" version is almost never used. The title is in French and I think it reflects the most common usage of the verb here, to void a meeting.

Why do people complain about MSFT when Sony and Nintendo are way worse in this regard? I hope they first split all studios among themselves so that EU can have enough ammo to break them all up or regulate cross platform compatibility in some other way. I'm ok with having every game 20% less performant on secondary platforms
Lying liar lies. "It" (this entire thread) said & says nothing at all about net neutrality. This gets weirder & weirder, debating totally unmentioned topics, now with your absurd aggro & ad hominem assault.

"It":

> Ideally what I'd like & have suggested is that citizens be able to get attestation of their content at their desired level. I should be able to get anything I write signed by varying levels of government, federal, state, or county, or neighborhood. I should be able to opt into how much identity to share: name, initials, some rotating psuedorandom identitifer, age bracket, income bracket, other core data

So where again are we talking about what you & other dude jumped in with, seemingly out of nowhere?

I don't care where this is, this is indecorous of you & it's bizarre & unexplained. Blowing more smoke isnt helping.
Honestly, not really. I feel like this is one of the very few areas that doesn’t really have any great open source options. Reaper is about the closest you’re gonna get. It’s not open source, but as far as fair licence and good price without sacrificing any usability, it’s kind of in a league of its own. It was started by the guy who made Winamp.
I just started at age 49 and I'm loving it! I'm focusing on fingerstyle acoustic, which I've always loved.
Kafka PMC is utterly dominated by Confluent or former employees. Everything Kafka does has been and always will be with Confluent's best interest first and foremost. The idea that Kafka isn't completely controlled by Confluent would be disingenuous at best. I don't have anything against Kafka or Confluent, but people should call a spade a spade here when it's blatantly obvious.

I am not so worried about smallish spikes in gamma radiation but I think we should all be concerned about longer term impacts of small particles of DU scattered across large area, making it's way into food supply etc. It's sort of inevitable once you have a lot of it in-theater.
That 2nd link you shared, has 3 links under "Documentation" to firmware downloads.
I kind of just mean in general. Because weight loss for most people isn't about a diet that you do for a month or something. It's about what you eat forever.

You might be able to get away with drinking a ton of Coke if you're bulking and lifting in the gym or you're an avid cyclist, but for your average office jockey trying to get 2000-2500 calories in, if you get 500+ from soda you're really limiting what you can eat to meet your protein, fat, micronutrient needs.
You honestly believe that we wouldn't be doing that if we were in the office?
I mean, as far as we know, that's what his wife did, right? Or is that just Internet wisdom?
I'm not sure what you think I'm implying about their relationship.

It is well-known that Gates continued to associate with Epstein after the latter was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution. There doesn't really need to be anything else to the story in my opinion.

(Editing to be clearer: I don't think he is guilty of Epstein's crimes by association. I think he is guilty of associating with Epstein while being aware of some of his horrible crimes. I'm not saying he needs to be locked up over this, just that I don't trust him, and I question the judgment of people who do.)
As a fiftysomething, I agree entirely. As near as I can see, very few people get paid more based on simple longevity. They get paid more because their increased experienced and larger skillset provides more value to the company.
Regarding the VisionFive 2 this is about, there's some non-open firmware, but it is the GPU's and it is not required to boot.

It is not even required for litting up the screen, as the HDMI controller is a separate hardware block, not is it required for video decoding acceleration, another separate hardware block.

The reason it's done is to teach students how to think. By writing down their thoughts they are forced to think about a topic. It's the same reason small children are still taught arithmetic although we have calculators.

That's the theory, anyway. In practice students learn that "really thinking for themselves" in essays is usually not rewarded while paraphrasing some reading assignments with some sprinkled quotations works much better and is less work than thinking about topics they don't care about.

Maybe the AI stuff will lead to practice better approximating the theoretical goal.

Recessions happen. It's a part of life. People need to understand that they aren't owed a job.
if you think there's a "lack of diversity in music production" you're just not listening to enough music.

Not only are people taking newer music production technology in every different possible direction, they're still pushing the limits of old methods as well as combining them with the new stuff.

Unless you happen to find yourself coding safety critical software. Such as in actual medical industry where failures can cost life.
What is up with these snowflake neues, posting bitter over-the-top political comments?

They stick out like a sore thumb in spring 2023.

It flew under the radar more when everyone was short-tempered, say winter 2021.

The people who are still stuck on it and in their own heads seem to have a __negative__ herding effect. There's a seed of irrationality that drives some, and as there's fewer, they stick out more, making it more grating and driving more people away.
This is a "Seinfeld is unfunny" situation. People don't remember what development practices were like prior to this essay.

> ESR's argument suggests OpenSSL should not hire security researchers to look for bugs, since all bugs are shallow and people will just quickly find them - the Bazaar approach.

It suggests they should release early and often to allow outside researchers a chance to find bugs, rather than relying on internal contributors to find them. Which seems to have worked in this case.

> Especially in security, it's clear that some bugs are deep. Any project that cares about security actually has to follow a cathedral-like approach to looking for them.

No it isn't. I still haven't seen examples of bugs like that.

> Releasing security critical code early is only making the problem worse, not better.

How?
That's going to be pretty exceptional at the scale of most Americans. Even here on HN, I'd wager that's the exception: you need to be working at a ISO-awarding startup, have your ISOs vest, and have your company be doing well enough that exercising them seems like a sane fiscal decision. (… or, well, I suppose you can #yolo.) I've worked for startups for a decade, and I've yet to run into that. (Particularly since employers hold the view of "getting a raise == changing jobs"; this pretty much fixes options' value at $0.)
There are actually 8 of us, not counting Ed Snowden, who once famously explained to Bart Gellman: "turn off the fucking scripts".

Almost all modern browser compromise is via JS.
Same. It's annoying these websites think they are so special and magical they have the audacity to require us to login or even to pay to access words on the screen. Words are no longer valuable. They are lucky to even get any clicks at all.
Zrythm is on the comeup.
This is a classic motte and bailey: "it's normal for adults to be attracted to adolescents" used to defend "it was reasonable for a fat CS prof in his 70s to believe a young minor on Epstein's island wanted to have sex with him absent any coercion going on (or for Stallman to advance this idea)."
That's a lot of words to say very little with.

The great resignation = We want you!

We just witnessed both in less than a couple years.
Not during office hours, no. Do you?
Sounds -- and looks -- like a nightmarish trope of dystopian science-fiction.
agreed. it is a weird situation no? They have a right to charge people to read their articles. We have a right to find a way to read it for free? Always confuses me but I will always downvote non paywalled articles.
I read a lot of Asimov in high school and for whatever reason I didn’t like Foundation.

I also didn’t like the TV series though I will probably watch season 2. It was visually appealing but I found it to be somehow flat. Like, the damage from the collapse of the space elevator - IIRC this was described to great effect in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars series - but in Foundation it really felt underwhelming. (That said: “Three Colours Mars” I would definitely watch!)

Also quite weird to see Lee Pace as Empire, since the series I’d just finished was Halt and Catch Fire (recommended).

The one Apple TV show I really enjoyed was Severance. That was amazing.
Melody? What's that?
You seem to have successfully identified the core issue, and it's not the filler words.
Is that your interpretation, or you read it somewhere? I'm not saying that you are wrong, just that you find others interpretations - those that I was mentioning and that concerns me - everywhere.

stuff like, "The Middle Ages are often said to be dark because of a supposed lack of scientific and cultural advancement. During this time, feudalism was the dominant political system" is pretty common, even Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Ages_(historiography)
I tried this a few years ago and it was addictive and amazing. Highly recommend.

I’d also like to tangent to say: music used to be a much bigger part of our lives. Before the radio a piano was a household staple. Kids would learn, family’s would play and sing to each other. We’ve largely given that up.

Imagining hearing one of your family members just start singing to themselves without any background music, does that feel uncomfortable? Would you sing along?

I think to many the answer is clear, music, as well as many other endeavors are something to now be enjoyed but not created. And oh boy do we get to enjoy the “best” music and “best” films and “best” books on demand.

And along the way we lost the large bits of ourselves which created and enjoyed together. So, in short, 10/10 would do the tutorial again.

As a sneering C++ programmer, why are you even reading / commenting on a new C standard? This is basically a "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it" situation.
Oh, right. The EU antitrust authorities didn't approve. Probably a good move.

I guess my "don't bother unionizing" take is extremely dependent on where you live. I'm in Sweden where we already have very generous benefits and labour friendly laws.
Except that your logarithms can have any consistent base, including 2.

So I don't think using a logarithm to introduce a special dependence on e is warranted in this case.
By the way yes it's relatively popular, out of the various options. Sixels are more popular than Kitty's protocol and what iTerm2 has.

Though more and more console libraries are supporting multiples of these which will help get more reach for all of them.
Now I’m imagining a whole company full of 40 year olds unsuccessfully impersonating 20 year olds, but nobody can tell because we’re all using the same outdated slang.

“You really yeeted that code review,” the term leader says, a slight waver in his voice as he wonders if this will be the one that gets him caught.

“Yes it was yolo,” nods the coder.

They quickly break up the meeting, happy to have survived the interaction.

Actually I think I have to update my slang too…
Ardour (http://ardour.org/) is probably the most fleshed out one, but it's still pretty bad compared to popular commercial options (Albeton, Bitwig, Reaper, FL Studio, Logic Pro).
Yeah I liked the office when I actually had an office but during Covid they got us out of our offices and when we returned put us in cube farms. It sucks ass.
A cellphone isn't a supercomputer. Sure, it might have relatively decent grunt versus computers of yesteryear, but it doesn't trade punches with the average GPC, nor an actual supercomputer.
The article addresses that:

> But none of the faang firms was here this time. Neither were Spotify, Salesforce, Uber or Microsoft. In any case most of those companies and almost 50 others – “all the famous ones” – had already rejected her internship applications a few months earlier.
> Strongly disagree on virtually every point, and this seems to be a common refrain I hear from those seemingly trying to convince themselves as much as anyone why the sky-high cost of living in certain areas of the country is worth paying.

I'd argue on the cost of living front that you'd be better off being in a expensive area, because you can always downgrade COL, rarely upgrade :).

> But these days, even in medium sized Midwestern cities there is typically more variety in cuisine, entertainment, and cultural options than the average person can actually utilize

Frankly, you need to spend more time in the Bay Area / LA or the NYC area with people who like food. The food scene is just incomparable to anywhere else in the US (or my native France).

> And with global warming, the Midwest is generally getting less cold in the winter, while HCOL areas like those out west are getting regular wildfires, record breaking floods, and extreme heat waves

Those things happen for less than a month a year. Compare that with the climate of the midwest, where it goes from "super cold" to "unbearably hot", with a few months of nice spring/fall if you're lucky. Super obvious if you look at https://weatherspark.com/y/557/Average-Weather-in-San-Franci... vs say https://weatherspark.com/y/12083/Average-Weather-in-St.-Loui... . Not to mention the mosquitos.

If you never go outside (which frankly is a thing a lot of suburban Americans do), it doesn't matter, but if you're into hiking, sailing, surfing, skiing, or just eating outside on your patio, California just can't be beat. There's a reason you see folks from all over the world moving here and not to Missouri.

It’s not true anywhere I have ever worked.
That's just one possibility. There are many ways for a development process to go wrong.

That’s another way they’re duplicating the town center on a small scale, sadly.
Some details were of NT were more directly copied from MICA than NT. The wiki article on MICA links to a number of DEC documents in bitsavers which describe various details of the OS.

e shows up because we're doing an iterated product (of random variables, but still). If you look at the central limit theorem, sum(log(rand())) tends to N * E[log(rand())] for large N. Well, what's E[log(rand())]? -1!

Like I said, it's fairly easy to test this in a python terminal. I encourage anyone who doubts me to try it :)
Perhaps, but unfortunately that's where much of the money is. So unless an engineer is ok with their income getting cut in half or so...
From what I understand the big problem with making an atomic bomb is making sure it goes off when you want it to.

All the jawboning about efficiency and engineering is nice, but irrelevant given the above problem.

NULL is a macro.

The original mistake by the standards committee was allowing implicit conversions from integer to pointer. I.e. allowing NULL to be defined as simply 0.

If NULL had been defined always as ((void *) 0) then I don't see that we would have had a problem.

But that's all history now and in this situation I can see that adding nullptr becomes a reasonable way out.

It's ironic though that the fix for the different ways to write null is to add yet another way.
Most industrialized countries in northern or western Europe have most government systems that are an order of magnitude less absurd than the American equivalents.
