Ultimately it all comes down to business case. If there isn't one to invest in CI, developer time to build a test suite with 100% coverage, and then ongoing upkeep of that, then it's not going to happen.

We are too often religious about these things, and may not have visibility within the business to see why there isn't a case for it.

Having said that it can also be very hard to convince management of the business case. That may have had a bad experience of these tool and practices before and see them as a waste. Thay may also, in that specific case, be right.
I am a limey brit, and was no great fan of Obama but... I don't think his judges ever overthrew precedent the way Trump judges have. Ironically the main place they have done this is Abortion, which Trump didn't seem to give a damn about, so really they should be called Republican or Christian Right judges rather than Trump judges maybe? Who knows...
Fastmail comes with WebDAV. I used it with Joplin, but it pushes a very large number of files to the server. I have a paid OneDrive account. Found out that sync didn't work with OneDrive (random files just won't sync). Maybe they've fixed it, but I was not impressed.
With their latest functions update to the API it seems the logic is simply passing methods to call the API via JSON to a trained model and it predicts which function is best to call for the info, then OpenAI does the call for ChatGPT, then feeds the resulting Json back to ChatGPT which uses it to give an answer.
I'm with you on this.

Something tells me the people here arguing that Flaherty wasn't coercive or threatening would be arguing just the opposite if this was the Trump administration.

“Prank” channels come to my mind at this. Like the one that got shot semi-recently for messing with people, who then said it was “worth it”.

It’s a shame how hard people can hyperfocus on fake Internet points and even let it hurt their actual relationships. I had a friend who was intensely upset over a comment suggesting a new camera angle because it “made their channel look bad” to be constructively criticized.
We now live in the most peaceful time in human history.

And just to be clear, we're contrasting this time of unprecedented peace with entities that have killed in spasms of violence with no apparent public casus belli than "my book is better than your book and it told me to do so?"

Spasms that, in one set of instances, led to the deaths of a significant fraction of the global population?

“Estimates of the number of people killed in the Crusades begin at 1 million (Wertham…) and go as high as 9 million (Robertson…) passing through 3 million (Garrison…) and 5 million (Elson…) along the way. I took the low middle (Garrison’s estimate) as my estimate. The geometric means of the extremes is 3 million.” Matthew White, The Great Big Book of Horrible Things: The Definitive Chronicle of History’s 100 Worst Atrocities (2012), p. 576 (see f.n. 1 under The Crusades).

The only way to end the cycle of violence is by embracing the scientific method, rationality, and empathy. Anything else is a step to madness. Voltaire said it best,

There have been people who once said, you believe incomprehensible, contradictory, impossible things, because we have ordered you to do so; therefore do unjust things because we order you to do so. These people reasoned wonderfully. Certainly, whoever has the right to make you absurd has the right to make you unjust.

Or, more succinctly, as Desmond MacCarthy put it via a fictional Voltaire,

Ah, my child, as long as people continue to believe absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities!

We must fight irrational lunacy and ensure that the light of enlightenment doesn't die out.

i think this is a strong point, and it's underscored by how little anyone is willing to center the discussion on something quite fundamental: is the behavior from the individuals in question acceptable even if it were legal? My answer to that is no, it is not and could not be acceptable human activity even if the laws protected it.

We've largely lost the ability to talk about the things themselves, preferring instead to look at things through the tremendously artificial lens of "what do the lawyers say?"

I've been coding now for about 30 years. I've never moved up into management and, now at almost 50, it's pretty clear I never will, and will spend the remainder of my career coding (which I'm perfectly fine with).

In the 30 years I've been coding, languages have come and gone, platforms have come and gone, frameworks have come and gone, methodologies have come and gone, but two things have never changed:

1) Software development is wildly unpredictable. I've never met anybody who could reliably predict how long something would take to develop, even if the requirements were "frozen" and even if they were the person delivering it. I have met people who could predict ahead of time how long it would take them to deliver something, but what they delivered always had "bugs" (either actual incorrect behavior, or edge cases that nobody thought of until they actually used the software) that themselves took an unpredictable amount of time to fix.

2) No organization can ever accept any amount of unpredictability. Every "advance" in software development I've ever seen has claimed to (implicitly or explicitly) remove the inherent unpredictability in software development, although none have actually delivered. They're fine with spending months in planning meetings while not actually developing anything tangible as long as those planning meetings provide the illusion of predictability.

Dumbifying and polarizing the debate, pro-business or anti-business (no matter what the "business" is up to), pro-government or anti-government (ditto) is the pattern of our times. Its part of the enshittification process and ultimately a tool for control.

I don't see how SELinux or AppArmor would help here. From the details provided, it looks like all that is needed is mmap. At most it "requires minimal capabilities to trigger" based on the article.

Granted, it is possible to deny mmap permissions, but I don’t think most policy writers would consider mmap a particular dangerous permission to grant.

I just checked my CentOS 8 system running stock policy, and every process type has permission to map every file type. Granted, this is gated behind a boolean, so an administrator could disable it if they wanted to, but the default is true.

Not that it is relevant to this issue where it doesn't matter what you mmap; but since I know someone will ask, having mmap permission does not bypass the check on, for example, read permission.

You are correct about SELinux in general terms.

However, there is a large scale exception to this: Android. Android uses SELinux extensively, and it is also used as part of further sandboxes in Chrome and Android System Intelligence.

Totally random, wanted to do home automation first but it wasn't a big pain for customers (it was a nice to have) and the market was very crowded.

Started talking with agriculture companies and just developed whatever they wanted (HW/SW). Agriculture is a slower moving industry, which gave us time to learn from our plethora of mistakes.

At the end of the day, home automation or agriculture, both needed some measuring, uploading and graphing of data.

And even though the points raised are mostly valid I think there is a lot of nuance to this.
If you write control software for medical devices this is simply not true. Same goes if you handle incredibly sensitive data or critical infrastructure or assistance systems for air travel and you can probably come up with a a bunch more cases where bugs are not ok.
And also I think this sentence

> Where high quality is nice to have, but is not the be-all-and-end-all.

while being mostly true in all other cases I don't think it does it justice what mediocrity actually means for everyone involved. I have seen very varying levels of quality requirements/enforcement, testing, delivery speed and eventual bugs at different costs at different companies.
And I in general found that higher quality software and less bugs were associated with much happier and more productive developers. And I would make the argument that less happy developers => more turnover => more second order costs. So while it might not make or break the company it certainly has a negative impact on profits downstream. And for customers too. Vendor lock in is a great thing for a company to profit from but if you really make a shitty product it opens up a lot of venues for competitors to eventually canibalize your market or from users to jump ship the next time they can. Take MS Teams for example. Lots of lock in but trust me the second better competitors are on the table I vigorously fight to switch. It's a slow burn but a burn nonetheless.
Paperspace gives free access to Graphcore IPU nodes (with 4 IPUs each), which is pretty neat. Theoretically that is way more throughput than a Colab T4 instance.

... But in practice, I tore my hair out trying to port an actual Stable Diffusion web UI, until I hit a wall. I needed to upgrade the "Poplar SDK" or something beyond the ancient Python 3.8 version to get things working, but the download was behind some kind of corporate login.

That left a bad taste in my mouth.
In my experience, people that don’t get that amount of vacation time on paper usually make up for it through slacking.
I seriously wish you couldn't change fonts in it. OneNote itself defaults to 11pt Calibri, but the web clipper outputs 12pt Verdana because fuck you. And if you change the font to Verdana, page title font changes from 20pt Calibri Light (IIRC) to like Verdana 20pt which is comically heavy.

Plaintext based notes apps are a blessing in that regard: Since they only store the text, your pages actually look nice and consistent. I have a ton of web clippings in OneNote which are ugly as hell because of font inconsistencies.

The Trump administration was doing the same thing.

> When the White House called up Twitter in the early morning hours of September 9, 2019, officials had what they believed was a serious issue to report: Famous model Chrissy Teigen had just called President Donald Trump “a pussy ass bitch” on Twitter — and the White House wanted the tweet to come down.

> “It was strange to me when all of these investigations were announced because it was all about the exact same stuff that we had done [when Donald Trump was in office],” one former top aide to a senior Trump administration official tells Rolling Stone. “It was normal.”
I need to carefully read the article, but sparse attention is an interesting technique that has been used previously (as in BigBird) but has often proved to perform (way) worse than full attention.
The sliding component that performs full attention is indeed useful (much like the Blockwise Parallel Transformer), but the sparse patterns are elements that don't intuitively resonate with me.

The model might select random words in the context. There's definitely a case where this could be unfortunate if it ends up selecting irrelevant words.

The graph on the first page, in my opinion, seems like a needless flex
It is not, due to the many restrictions upon it, and warnings in its use.

“To accelerate searching the WAL, SQLite creates a WAL index in shared memory. This improves the performance of read transactions, but the use of shared memory requires that all readers must be on the same machine [and OS instance]. Thus, WAL mode does not work on a network filesystem.”

“It is not possible to change the page size after entering WAL mode.”

“In addition, WAL mode comes with the added complexity of checkpoint operations and additional files to store the WAL and the WAL index.”

https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol15/p3535-gaffney.pdf

SQLite does not guarantee ACID consistency with ATTACH DATABASE in WAL mode. “Transactions involving multiple attached databases are atomic, assuming that the main database is not ":memory:" and the journal_mode is not WAL. If the main database is ":memory:" or if the journal_mode is WAL, then transactions continue to be atomic within each individual database file. But if the host computer crashes in the middle of a COMMIT where two or more database files are updated, some of those files might get the changes where others might not.

Seems like such a sad existence to be looking forward to holidays. My dad told me not to look forward to weekends because it will make life fly by too fast, and it will make your weekdays miserable.

I took it to heart, and maybe its because I found a good career, but I like working. I even like working on side gigs after work. Sure bugs can be frustrating, but so is playing Zelda. I find solving the bugs more rewarding than grinding on BOTW.

I imagine people indulge on holidays, drinking and eating unhealthy foods, of course that is fun. The next day when you are dealing with the hangover and now have to diet/be in pain for ~3 days to make up for the excess calories; is less fun.

On the S3 side, you need to factor in Intelligent Tiering. We're not paying S3 Standard prices for this--recall that this is a mix of mostly cold data. It's a 10x difference per GB on average between EBS and our mix of S3 Intelligent Tiering.

Add in that your RDS instance needs to be high availability like S3 is (and like our RDBMS is). That means a multi-AZ deployment. Multiply your RDS cost by two, including the cost of storage. That still isn't as good as S3 (double price gets you a passive failover partner in RDS PostgreSQL; S3 is three active-active AZs), but it's the best you can do with RDS. We're north of $500/month now for your example.

Add in the cost of backups, because your RDS database's EBS volume doesn't have S3's durability. For durability you need to store a copy of your data in S3 anyway.

Add in that you can access S3 without cross-AZ data transfer fees, but your RDS instance has to live in an AZ. $0.02/GB both ways.

Add in the personnel cost when your RDS volume runs out of disk space because you weren't monitoring it. S3 never runs out of space and never requires maintenance.

$500/month for 1TB of cold data? We were never going to pay that. I won't disclose the size of the data in reality but it's a bunch bigger than 1TB. We host an on-prem database cluster for the majority of things that need a RDBMS, specifically because of how expensive RDS is. Things probably look different for a startup with no data yet, blowing free AWS credits to bootstrap quickly, but we are a mature data-heavy company paying our own AWS bills.

As a final summary to this rant, AWS bills are death by a thousand papercuts, and cost optimization is often a matter of removing the papercuts one by one. I'm the guy that looks at Cost Explorer at our company. One $500/month charge doesn't necessarily break the bank but if you take that approach with everything, your AWS bill could crush you.

You actually can be pretty agile in a government contract... if your government customer will be agile. That's pretty rare, though. But when it happens, when your customer actually wants and needs that, you can make that customer much happier by being agile.

In fact, this is where agile (real agile, not Agile-in-name-only) breaks down. Somewhere up the org chart, it reports to someone who is not agile, someone who thinks in waterfall terms. That impedance mismatch either takes a huge amount of translation work by the person below them, or else it eventually kills real agile, turning it into waterfall with some agile lipstick.
People can most certainly believe in a collective moral code that is, at times, at odds with the laws of their country, and simultaneously not dictated by a central religious authority.

Desiring the state to more closely model one's personal moral code isn't a signifier that people are placing the state at the "moral center", it's an indicator that they want those with a monopoly on violence to act in accord with what they believe is right.

I do believe the collective moral codes are drifting from those dictated by religions, but I hardly think that is a bad thing, given the rigidity and absolutism of many religions.

I was in a successful company that nearly died in 2017, where our entire production system corrupted itself due to a sneaking scale bug we had ported the system into. The problem was, the system with data had been running migrated for 3 months with the bug in it, so it was no longer possible to revert to the earlier working design. We were down for a week where no clients could run, and we spent the next 12 months purely digging ourselves out of that hole, with all new development paused, and all hands on limping the ship along. I would say, that bug was very close to ending us. Luckily, we never disappointed in a similar way since.
> Could you ever think that maybe people tried forgiving loans because borrowers were truly screwed over?

The businesses which where shutdown/severely limited by government weren't screwed over?

Students with loans were appropriately compensated by pausing the loans. The forgiveness was not about anyone who truly were screwed over. There is no pause button for businesses. They can't just stop paying employees, distributors, utilities, etc. and expect to comeback months later and restart like nothing happened. Government did not force students to take out loans. Government forced some businesses to close. Government restricted some businesses' operations. Businesses had no choice in the matter.
