If you're an IC, tell your manager.

If you're a manager, start delegating people to go to those meetings.

One of my personal challenges was definitely that, as an introvert, once meetings hit a certain percentage of my calendar I'm just perpetually exhausted. It's amazing, I could code all day and then sit down and code for 3 hours at night. I basically just don't run out of energy for that. But talking to people? I like it, but it's like running up a hill for me. More than 4 hours of that in a day and I'm ruined, I can't code or do anything until I find a proper way to reset (which often means, until the next day).

I don't think extroverts appreciate what they are asking of introverts when they casually schedule meetings - often thinking it's the most efficient way to exchange about 5 mins worth information in an hour long discussion.

I have to say - my reaction to all this uncertainty isn't to rush out and buy RHEL licenses. Quite the opposite actually.

Two reasons:
1) they had plenty of paying customers, so there was a demand

2) the CEO wanted to be remembered as an innovator, views this as being an explorer, and wanted to inspire people (he said so in interviews)
Depends how you phrase it.

"Jessica is the reason we hired you - she says you'll be great here and when she says that she's always right" technically says "we weren't going to hire you", but also "we all believe in you".
Yeah even a basic to do list or calculator web app can take several hours if it’s your first time with the specified framework, build tool or CSS library.

Given the diversity of FE it’s quite likely for a take home project to hit one of those criteria.
If I recall correctly, even NASA found unit testing to be of limited value, finding a small fraction of software bugs. That's not to say "don't do it" but my stance is that the developer should do some ad-hoc testing for everything they write, just don't formalize and document it or you'll land on the wrong end of cost/benefit.

I can point to some subtle logic bugs that no sane unit test would have caught.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I think you're completely wrong about that.

And before you say “Just don’t attend”, I can sometimes use that option. But then other times it becomes all game theory because if they can convince enough other people to attend, you lose politically if people start routing around you on your own project.

Space Shuttle - "a ~2% failure rate"

Which incidentally was exactly what the engineering studies predicted while it was being designed. Which really says something about the quality of engineering analysis which went into creating the Shuttle.

For reference you can nerd out on the following awsome books:

"Space Shuttle Decision, 1965-1972 (History of the Space Shuttle, Volume 1)"

"Development of the Space Shuttle, 1972-1981 (History of the Space Shuttle, Volume 2)"
Because announcing a coup in advance is stupendously idiotic?

Ina traditional coup on MONDAY at 3 am soldiers roll into the TV stations and various government buildings. They announcing a change of government and people turn up to work Monday morning.

On Friday evening?! They must be copying the failed Turkey coup that had to move forwards because they were uncovered.

Most deep sea submersibles only seat a couple people, which wouldn't work for the 'titanic tourism carnival ride' business model. I would guess the weight savings were intended to enable a sub with more capacity that could still be winched on and off the support ship without more complex/expensive heavy lifting equipment.
I'm heading in the direction which is engines/tooling and I'm amazed at the number of corners of SQL that I have discovered that I don't know properly. You can use it fine for decades but when you need to know precisely what is acceptable to the GROUP BY/HAVING clauseS... then you suddenly realise you don't. It's quite surprising.

it would be useful to have that standard. Thanks, will have a hunt.
the great thing about someone else getting caught is that you get to read the court cases about how they got caught

the LLC could have been made in any state, someone else's ID and social from a FULLZ could have been used to make a bank account online, and a prepaid card also from the same marketplace would have been enough to sign up for some digital services.

the marketplaces already require you to be using Tor, and doing the rest on Youtube over Tor would have worked as well, or you rent access to a compromised windows computer on clearnet so you don't get a debilitated browsing experience.

and then you can worry about reintegrating the proceeds into the broader economy again for your own enrichment.

Trying to define elite is fraught, but I think someone who gets their words syndicated in a massive paid newsletter is a strong contender. I'm not sure someone in the muck is the best judge of who's in and who's out, so I reject the framing outright.
This was really fun to play!

I wish there was a way to request hints on my own time instead of getting the flashing after a few seconds. In my experience the flashing hints were coming too quickly for me to even look through the whole board, let alone choose an optimal switch.

Nevertheless, great game! Thanks for sharing.
I would say that is different. A steel part will make sounds as it rapidly flexes under pressure or temperature cycling, but those sudden movements can be within the "endurance limit" of the material, and not lead to fatigue or failure.

The hull sounds they were hearing in Titan were likely snapping of carbon fibers (based on the linked video above), which means a permanent reduction in strength each time it happens.

DeepFlight Challenger, the unused submarine that pioneered this type of design, was intended only for single use:

"But the company that built DeepFlight Challenger has told The Telegraph it refused to back the project, insisting the submarine was suitable for only one dive and could not be reused because of the pressure on its structure at such depths."

"The problem is the strength of the vessel does decrease after each dive. It is strongest on the first dive.”

The best way to insure his death is also a coup attempt. If he succeeds, he lives (maybe). If he fails, he definitely dies.

He still may think that gives him better odds than not attempting the coup does, under current conditions...
I completely fail to see how carbon fiber could be used to build what is essentially a vacuum vessel with 16,000 psi compressing it. You're basically counting on the compressive strength of the matrix it's embedded in to resist the forces involved, the fiber can only help resist cracking a bit.

It's pushing on a string... to me, that's just nuts.

Someone has to have a good explanation on how I'm wrong. If not, that makes it even more tragic.
> I'm generally a fan of free markets but in this case it absolutely seems to make sense for the city to step in and do something about it.

Largely, it's been a problem created by the city "doing something about it."

Zoning laws restrict what property can be used for, producing inflexibility and inefficiency.

Overbearing public safety laws contributed to their abandonment.,

Bureaucratic red-tape and building laws prevent other areas from scaling and adjusting.
What you essentially want for the user to not write any unsafe code is this kind of interface:

trait Allocator {
fn allocate<'a, T>(&'a self, init: T) -> Handle<'a, T>;
fn deallocate<'a, T>(&'a self, handle: Handle<'a, T>);
fn read<T>(&self, handle: Handle<'_, T>) -> impl Deref<T>;
fn write<T>(&self, handle: Handle<'_, T>) -> impl DerefMut<T>;
}

&'a RefCell<T> is pretty close to a definition of Handle<'a, T>, except that Rust provides no implementations of allocate and deallocate that take a const instead of a mut reference for self. Trying to make an allocator that lets you safely deallocate something requires a completely different implementation of Handle<'a, T> than what RefCell can provide, and even if you're fine without deallocation, allocation with a const ref still requires unsafe to get the lifetime parameter right.
You hear those in conventional subs, too, as you go deeper the hull makes all sorts of worrying creaks. (During a sea trial, I had to be aboard a sub from $NAVY diving to 900 feet and change - the crew assured me the sounds were normal...)
Why not Fedora?
More precisely -- you can have x,y coordinates, or (easier to work with) x,y,z coordinates, but you would quickly run into numerical precision issues, and that binary representation prevents that. (Probably it was HyperRogue, other hyperbolic games are wrapped or small enough to work without it. David Madore's hyperbolic maze has a wrapped world so it uses a totally different system. I think Sokyokuban also has tree-based representation of the map, even if the world is small. It could also be Hypermine by Ralith, it is also open world and open source.)
When I did itsec work we joked that the #1 indicator of an attack from Russia was a sudden dropoff of connections from Russia. I immediately assume that traffic origin has been spoofed
It depends on the material. It might work for certain tours of steel, since the failure state is gradual.

Carbon fiber, however, is not known to gradually fail.
> because we live in capitalism

No. Because it costs money to run these organizations. They are either funded by the government (which means taxes, which means us), membership fees or other activities. Last I checked everyone needs to feed themselves or their family. This "it's because it's capitalism" thing gets old pretty quickly.

What should be objectionable is precisely when organizations are government (taxes, us) funded and they sell us standards you are supposed to work and test against for, well, government-mandated certification requirements. So...we pay for their work through taxation...for them to sell us the products they create...and then we pay for the testing services against documents we cannot freely access even though we paid for their development. That's just messed-up.

This is where it gets complicated. If USA or European taxpayers fund the development of these standards, should others outside of those regions have to pay or contribute in any way? China is no-longer a poor agrarian society. And yet they benefit from work done in the EU and USA for decades at great cost to taxpayers.

Not sure what the answer to this is other than to point out these things are not simple. There's the "well, it benefits everyone" angle, which brings us back to "Why are these organizations charging for PDF's at all?".
As an addendum, the same goes for many C toolchains. Anything requiring GCC 4.8 or later is depending on a C++ compiler. And projects like LLVM’s libc, Fuchsia’s Zircon kernel, the bareflank hypervisor, etc, demonstrate that C++ really can be used anywhere C is used.

C++ is the new C in the sense that it’s the language everything else is built on and I expect it will be even more difficult to displace than C. For instance, the complexity of C++ makes it next to impossible to incrementally rewrite in another language, simply writing a production quality C++ implementation is a gargantuan investment so a superset language is questionable, and the C++ community is committed to evolving and improving their language whereas C has largely ossified. Perhaps C will outlive everyone reading this thread, but C++ will outlive C.
Fedora is excellent for workstations - not for servers. It's just not stable enough, and the update/upgrade cadence is too fast and short-lived.

I've used Fedora on my personal workstations forever it seems. But, spend enough time in linux-land and you'll find out there's two very different ways of doing things. There's the Debian Way, and the Red Hat Way. You tend to want to know one really well, even if you can "get by" on the other. (yes, other ways do exist - but they are much more niche)

So, if my servers go Debian (and/or derivatives), so will my personal workstations.
Customer demand. If you're Google or AWS or any sufficiently large customer and the black box firmware is getting in your way, you have the resources to roll your own. Then the incumbents not only lose their business, they face the prospect of new competition when that company publishes the documentation and firmware because they're more interested in commodifying their complement and getting bug reports on what they're now using internally than in competing in that commodity market.

Then from the other end, RISC-V is starting to get good enough that relatively small companies can put the pieces together into useful open products that compete with closed incumbents.

The hardware vendors are better off to get in front of it and publish the same for their own hardware so they can gain some market share in the time before everybody is doing it.
The Wagner attempted coup (marching on the Russian MoD) is real, but it won't result in serious regime change, only a weakening of Russian position in Ukraine.

I have to say that his description of his wife fits my iPhone use as well. As for the App Library, it is not discoverable if you have many pages of the Home Screen which can be true for those of who have an iPhone for a decade or so. The real trick is apparently to learn how to hide those home pages, then it becomes discoverable.

I do think there is a terminology issue with the Home Screen being used for multiple pages. That is just confusing.

As for the long-press, I accidentally do that all the time.
Sure, and if a typical Rust program that I write has no unsafe in it directly, and 5% of its dependencies' code have unsafe in them, that's also the same as writing a program in the "not c++" language directly, and using "not c++" dependencies for all but 5% of the dependency code.

Seems like a silly analogy to me, though.
It's tricky because you almost never truly work on sophisticated systems as a whole. You usually interact with a small part of them that tends to be meaningless, (e.g. writing YAML files for complex k8s).

The exception to this would be if you are the one designing the system, but then most sophisticated systems tend to grow from necessity rather than central planning.

That's my experience at least.

There are ways to do this without coming across like an asshole. Unless you have a very good relationship with your boss, or you work in a toxic hellhole, you probably don't want to be forwarding meeting invites with passive aggressive cost analyses about your payroll cost and loss of flow which would probably take you have the length of the meeting to figure out anyway.
> It's not meant to foster creativity, it's meant to be safe for big business and novice employees.

Interestingly, my experience is the opposite.

I find that the "straightjacket" is extremely precious during refactorings – in particular, the type of refactorings that I perform constantly when I'm prototyping.

Compared to this, I'm currently writing Python code, and every time I attempt a refactoring, I waste considerable amounts of time before I can test the interesting new codepath, because I end up breaking hundreds of other codepaths that get in the way and I need to go through the testsuite (and pray that it contains a sufficient number of tests) hundreds of time until the code is kinda stable.

Which is not to say that Rust matches every scenario. We agree that it doesn't, by design. But I don't think that the scenarios you sketch out are the best representation of what Rust can/should be used for and can't/shouldn't be used for.
Perhaps your confidence in what god would have told a 14th century practicing christian is misplaced?
To be fair your examples aren’t much more than your own personal experience.

And the situation regarding “long press” is far more nuanced than you make our. For starters there was the whole saga of “Force Touch” which came and then went. Plus the fact it’s not just about intuition it’s about lack of consistency and discoverability. There is no affordance to indicate if something can be long pressed. Some things can and some things can’t. And my recollection is that iOS 1 had no such thing.
Arrogance and overconfidence lead inexorably to hubris and they won a Darwin Award for thinking they "knew better". It's obvious they skimped on testing and were too cavalier with unproven "innovation".
Back then you ran games in proper fullscreen mode, whereas nowadays you run them in windowed mode (even when it's called fullscreen windowed).

If you get bad performance in a game nowadays it's a good idea to try proper fullscreen. Alt tabbing might be slow, but the game will run better.
Huh, I'm doing the exact same thing, though off-line - I keep a "running log" in Org Mode. A new file every month, and in that file, a new heading for every day, and under that heading, I just type. 90% of it is just me talking with myself. I do it both at work and for personal stuff (two different set of files on two different computers, of course). It's the only thing that I know can reliably ground me, that can keep me focused to at least some degree, no matter how bad I feel, and that can help me process and deal with emotions.

Is the jail sentence fair? Highly subjective. Personally, and given the financial repayment, I believe the sentence may be excessive, but given that I don't even live in the same part of the world as these proceedings, my context is my own.

Either way, it is an abject lesson in the potential fallibility of any persons choices, when unfortunate external circumstances come to bear. No matter how young you became a millionaire, no matter how many entrepreneurship awards you have, or how prestigious the college on your certifications, how many people have praised you as prodigious and rare, you are still entirely vulnerable to your own missteps.

Sometimes, it's factors like burnout which lead there. And you can't predict how you will react under a given new kind of stress. Stress can drive us all to very strange decisions.
