Minor correction: I believe your case would require a technical capability notice the first time it was done. Assistance notices are “help us with the tools you already have” and regular warrant stuff, whereas capability notices are “you must develop the capability to help us”, and come from the Attorney-General with approval from the Minister for Communications. (A good summary of what this stuff means: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/nat-security/files/assistance....)

But I also don’t think that this stuff would actually apply to Apple or Google. It’s part of the Telecommunications Act, for carriers and carriage service providers, which, while broad definitions, probably exclude them. Back when I worked at Fastmail (2017–2020), Fastmail as an email service provider was considered subject to that act for data request purposes, but the footnote at https://www.fastmail.com/blog/advocating-for-privacy-aabill-... indicates that in 2021 they were able to change to using the Crimes Act and such instead, so I’m not sure if they’re even subject to the Telecommunications Act in this way any more (not that the A&A Bill affected them anyway since they don’t do E2EE), and Apple and Google’s app stores feel like they would be even more out of scope. But I don’t know; there’s quite a bit of legislation I’ve paid close attention to, but the Telecommunications Act isn’t among that collection. And even if these app store companies aren’t covered by this stuff now, there are probably other governments out there that can already insist on this sort of thing, and plenty of future prospects, the A&A Bill showing how easily this sort of thing can be shoved through.

You are absolutely right that the largest single day drawdown for the S&P was about 20%.

But my message is that we should not be sitting ducks for these extreme risks. There is no known method to accurately know the exact maximum drawdown that a security can get in 1 day.

Days aside. The drawdowns can be worse than we can imagine over several years. For instance people that bought the the S&P during 1929 broke even at around 1955. No profit, just breaking even. A time span of about 26 years [0]

I would prefer a convention… but first wins is backwards IMO. It really sucks when a bad convention gets adopted, like this first wins, or spaces instead of tabs. ;)
The answer would be: use another chatbot, where's the problem?

i think that's one of the real danger of this stuff: society used to put some real value into your intellectual efforts - that was the stuff that promised "the Future", that's a real return on investment. Now these large language models started a kind of inflation in this area of endeavour. I would guess that the younger ones will have to ask themselves the following question: "why bother, if the LLMs will catch up on all of your efforts within five years, or so?"

Earlier generations didn't have to ask themselves this question.

I am trying to teach my kids some stuff, but this question is always lurking somewhere in my mind: I think this effect of a general demotivation is the real danger to our civilization - not these unrealistic notions of a 'robot takeover'.
Show HN: Docker CLI Plugin: Docker-swarm-proxy exec into a Docker service
A problem with Docker Swarm and automation with it has been that you can't directly exec into any service from the command line. There exist some workarounds to achieve this behaviour, but in the end you want something similar and as convenient as `docker exec` but for services.

Recently I have been playing around with the idea of achieving this by deploying `tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy` in the swarm, and then using this to proxy to the proper host in the swarm you want to reach. It turns out that this works like a charm.

I recently played with a prototype for this where you had to first deploy the `tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy` stack into your swarm. Also you had to know which node the task was running on for this to be useful. I improved this situation. All you need to do is install the proper Docker CLI plugin I built, and you can get a shell into any service you need to. All you need is a connection to a Docker Swarm Manager:

docker swarmproxy service exec -it vibrant_bell bash

Maybe this is useful for some people around here :)
> don't expect engineers to do anything other than exactly what is requested. and no more.

> don't expect engineers to answer question that was not asked. be thorough in your requirements. don't make assumptions about prior knowledge.

The inverse unfortunately describes just about every PM I've had to work with. Good developers should be asking questions to fill in any gaps in requirements that aren't likely to be considered by non-developers, but it ultimately shouldn't be their responsibility to figure out the requirements. If a PM can't provide useful feature requirements, then they probably should be fired.

Here's how things typically go:

- PM comes back from meeting with product owners and writes a bunch of tickets with a title and single sentence like "do the thing."

- During backlog grooming, engineers are forced to ask the PM to provide more context and acceptance criteria. The PM pulls some AC out of their ass. Because the grooming is capped at an hour, all AC and behavioral descriptions are half-assed, and contain contradictions. Developers are burned out from constantly wondering WTF and just want to get out of there. Most if not all groomed tickets are wrong in some way.

- PM meets again with product owners and designers to discuss changes to features being worked on. PM fails to update most of the tickets that relate to said changes. Designers, who seem to usually work outside the sprint process, make changes to their mockups without notifying developers. Developers stumble across changes to the mockups midway through developing a feature and go "WTF?" Or they've already submitted a PR and another developer notices that the work doesn't match the mockups.

- Developers have Zoom meeting with PM and designers to ask "WTF?" Nobody takes responsibility. PM pretends to clear up ambiguity by taking suggestions from the developers and changing the AC of the ticket. Designers pretty much roll over to whatever the group decides because they just want to get out of there.

- PM presents merged feature to product owners. Turns out the PM didn't read their minds correctly, and so follow up tickets are filed. Some of those tickets vindicate the developer's concerns or revert changes made to the AC during the sprint.

- Developers are told to "ask more questions" in order to "close the loop" during sprints so that this circus doesn't happen again, passing blame to developers and further guaranteeing that the circus continues.
What are you doing to sync your files? I'm current using the git integration and while it works it's a bit too manual for my tastes. I think I'm ok with last write wins as long as the sync stores history. The whole commiting changes, pushing, pulling, dealing with merge conflicts is a bit too much workflow for my notes.

Hey not bad. 3 years ago now (ugghh wow) I chose what engine to go all in on as a hobbyist. At the time only Unity supported producing web based games and I wanted to make games for the web so I went all in on Unity.

Unity is great. Unity is also horrible, especially on devx. It takes anywhere from 10-30 seconds to recompile code or changes on each save. Making a unity html game takes 5-30 minutes. There are things that can be done to reduce these times but requires knowing a bunch of info (usage of asset database, dividing code into assemblies, etc). Writing a container image to run Unity CLI commands requires you deal with license. Ugghh I wish Unity was just better to use.

I may scope out godot again. I’m working on a multiplayer game and it’d be interesting to evaluate how I’d plug a godot game into AWS gamelift.
The best PMs/managers I have had are the ones that were good/decent (but usually not incredibly amazing/gifted) programmers; they understood when we said it'll take time and adjusted things to balance the delivery with amount of work/effort.

However, a few others didn't have the technical background but took engineers into confidence and generally trusted/supported engineers when they pushed back on specific points. They knew what they lacked and treated engineers as partners that fill that gap.

For both kinds, the above actions made them earn the trust of the engineers which means that when these PMs/managers, (occasionally) said "this must go", they had the necessary support from the engineers. So I guess the common factor is that it was their standing up for the engineers and honest actions that earned the trust. To repeat the cliche, words are cheap, show me actions.
I don't know how you arrived at that interpretation of my post.

I chose evolution merely because a substantial and politically important group of Americans earnestly disagree with the academic consensus; it's an area where there has been genuine public debate; it's foundational to some academic fields; and it would believably come up in first year compulsory classes.

I might disagree with academics about whether mailing a survey to mentally competent adults counts as human experimentation that needs ethics board approval, as outside of academia people use surveys all the time. But that's hardly something an academic would refuse to discuss.

I might disagree with academics about feminism or marxism or underwater basket weaving - but that stuff's all elective, why would I have taken an elective module from a teacher I thought was full of shit?

I might disagree with the high tuition costs of universities, and the money wasted on sports, overpaid administrators, and overpriced journal subscriptions. But most academics would actively agree with me, they just can't change it.

I might disagree with details of how a course is taught, like whether Java is a good language for an introductory CS class. Or whether we really need so much math in the CS curriculum. But that's not really a fundamental belief.

I might disagree with academics because I think the moon is made of cheese, but that would be a straw man argument.
Prepreg carbon fiber is infused with epoxy resin by the carbon fiber textile manufacture, and heat cured after it is formed into the necessary shape.

So what are you referring to then? No need to be evasive - just point out the conflict you had in mind. Like I said, it'd be ignorant to make the suggestion without some kind of example, so I'm giving you the floor for an explanation. Remember, your statement was that F-35s are mostly used for mowing down the housing of undesirables, all you need to do is explain where you got that idea from.

"When the record was finished I took a reel-to-reel copy home with me and I remember playing it for my wife then, and I remember her bursting into tears when it was finished. And I thought, "This has obviously struck a chord somewhere", and I was kinda pleased by that. You know when you've done something, certainly if you create a piece of music, you then hear it with fresh ears when you play it for somebody else. And at that point I thought to myself, "Wow, this is a pretty complete piece of work", and I had every confidence that people would respond to it."

Depending on your environment, endpoints might not default to exposed. As an example where I work, we have to explicitly enumerate endpoints to expose (potentially including wildcards, like admin/*), and anything else is only accessible with direct access to the pod.

I would like clarification: you are advocating that we use AI to come up with new words in English? Using what parameters, Anglo-Saxon root words? Are they still adding and creating new terms from Latin in the legal system? Either way people still have to learn new words, and AI generated new words would be hard to implement if they stray from the roots we have learned to recognize (especially Greek and Latin root words we are taught to recognize in school early on).

In the current case "uterus" and "cervix" are now considered to be the English words for those body parts. Is using a loanword really "jumping ship" when much of English's influence history comes from Old French anyway? I think this would be better dealt with in the hands of a linguist.

Elitism and access is an issue, but to me it strikes that the access issue is more about access to education, than access to the language itself.
In my opinion this is a mind set problem. If you frame issues so it is an us-vs-them problem then perhaps the real issue is how you have framed the problem. I worked in a car factory (a very long time ago) when the war between management and workers was at the height. They were enemies, to the extent that workers would silently watch while management teams directed repairs to the wrong place. Those factories, which operated out of that mind set are long gone.

If this article applies to you, you might consider that the system in place to produce software is fundamentally broken.
I don't find myself doing that very much.

I obviously prefer to play my PC or PlayStation, but will play my Switch if I am in the bathroom, riding shotgun on a long car ride, etc. Mobile games, for me, are essentially waiting room games or something I will whip out if I have exactly 7 minutes to kill.

I don't generally think, "I want to game" and then decide which one is worth the effort in the moment.
> And I can memorably remember being screamed at extensively (by a higher up outside of my chain) in a meeting 20 years ago, for asking what needed to be deprioritized.

I think the list assumes you aren't being abused :( Screaming at a subordinate like that is abuse, full stop. If that's what one is dealing with, nothing on this list is going to help. I had a similar experience, in about the same era, and nothing on this list would have helped me, either.

But it's still good advice! Some people just don't know how to say no, and it's tough watching them bury themselves with stress handling tasks that could have been deflected with no loss to the company, or even the one who asked.
(Hopefully) gone are the days when DBs are spending the bulk of their time blocking in I/O waiting for spinning disks to spin. They spend a lot of intelligence on keeping active tuples paged-in, and memory sizes are exponentially bigger than they used to be, and intelligent query optimization is going to do as much as it can into memory and then apply join algorithms which... are usually sorts.

And even writes, there's sorting there. An LSM or a B-epsilon-tree, etc. they're doing sorting and ordered key traversals before paging out.
What languages are you using day to day?

> Turns out the PM didn't read their minds correctly

that's what frustrating. why should the engineer ask the pm to ask the product owners to flesh things out.

pm has a responsibility to understand product requirement fully - outside of technical limitations. otherwise they are just a glorified middle man. just let the engineer speak to the product owner.

this is why i say don't expect engineer to answer questions that were not asked. why should we take that burden and blame.

consider the engineer as someone providing a service, like someone else commented "outsourcing to india" - yes in a way you are outsourcing to an engineer in your team.

if a PM doesn't understand a project, then why are they managing it. they should be title "email or communication facilitator" or something like that instead.
It's not the carbon fiber, its the resins. Some carbon fiber products have the resin applied when the final product is made, others have it pre-impregnated by the fiber manufacture. Prepreg fibers have to be used before the resins go bad.

Another way of looking at this is, if driving is so important to participating in American society, then it is a privilege you should show the greatest respect for, and make sure you are driving safely and legally.

Driving recklessly and endangering not only your license to drive, but the lives of others, carries a high cost that you will have to pay when it goes wrong. That’s an individual choice. Of all the countries I’ve driven, the US drivers seem to have a particularly low regard for law and safety.
