Then have a rule that the any elected member of the current house(s) can have an account. Moderation actions on those members should be rare, public, and conducted on the authority of the Speaker (or sensible equivalent for the political system). Whether the posts should enjoy parliamentary privilege, and/or be constrained by the rules of "unparliamentary language", is a detail that would need working out

Of course this has the downside of losing your account if you lose your seat, and not getting one until you're elected, but hopefully this will nudge political parties to run their own instances for their members

The above would presumably not apply to other accounts like the press accounts of a government department. I think they/the acting government can police themselves, as they currently do with Twitter, and as they've done with statements to the press since before computers

If you mean that you construct your program in such a way as to not have data races, then I do the same. Even with mutable objects like char[], it's relatively straightforward to just not share such objects, and in the limited circumstances where you must share, to synchronize.

If you mean you somehow unilaterally do away with data races on shared mutable data, even if the concurrent thread does not synchronize in any way, then I am genuinely asking what you're referring to. To be specific, I'm not aware of any implementation of `String(char[])` that operates correctly if another thread is mutating the char[] without synchronization. The JMM guarantees are extremely limited even for distinct indices, hence the need for AtomicIntegerArray, etc.

If you mean you cannot eliminate the data race, but you can do a post-condition check of the String invariants, and you want that checking code to run even in non-debug builds, then fine. I think there is a place for "production asserts" like that, but I think they need careful application, and they don't belong at every level of the stack. I'd check the validity of the String in intern(), but not in every single String ctor as a post-condition. And certainly in most languages with weaker memory models than Java, but my guess is even in Java, such checks provide no real guarantee that data races can't ruin invariants. There's no magic tape to repair that crack in the foundations.

Wouldn't it be much cheaper and effective to add a random secret to the bit before the at rather than after?
Yup, basically.

The situation is relatively straightforward, though people with biases (&/ desire to just argue &/ trolls) complicate it over and over again:

UNIX, and specifically Linux as a descendant, was evolved with very sensible and fairly solid security models (in multiple ways - including balancing simplicity [making it easier for users to specify and have that specification actually match their intention] against flexibility / rigor). Furthermore, from early days, there were heated substantial arguments about security vs. usability.

When I was younger, I had a more "Theo de Raadt" POV - it should be way more secure. But, I think that the arguments people like Torvalds made about "enough trouble getting adoption AT ALL", in essence, were better arguments.

Linux has been pretty good through the years. Far from perfect, but a good enough mixture in terms of balancing "getting sh1t done" against "keeping people safe".

Windows is a mess. It's always been a mess (though, to be fair, it DID really improve between 2000 and 2010, but only to the point sort of REQUIRED to continue to be commercially viable). The incentives etc. are all different. The M$ model is always "make things as easy as possible to just start using" and "try to keep everyone chained to the platform, in part through the otherwise almost altruistic method of never breaking ancient software".

There is no question that security - in terms of what is best for the user - is not the key principle / drive, there. You can judge that however you like, or not at all - it doesn't implicitly mean Windows is "worse", because that always depends on what is "important" ... what perspective you're looking at it from.

But, I certainly find that model ugly and unfortunate, personally.
In most places in the USA, two married social workers can afford to raise two children without starving. It's only a few expensive areas where this is impossible.

Employers in high cost areas take advantage of the informal subsidies being discussed here to underpay social workers (as well as other socially valuable occupations such as teachers). But that won't change until the workers move away or switch occupations. There's just no incentive for employers to pay living wages as long as workers are willing to accept less.
The payback on take home tests is seldom worth it. There is too much liability and risk and very little incentive to the company to provide honest feedback.

You should learn to accept the fact that you will not get an honest review. If you choose to enter in to a take home test go in to it with that understanding.

The interview process is a chance for them to review you, but also for you to review them. Make sure the process is equitable. If they ask for too much you owe it to yourself to push back. Ultimately they will respect you more if you stand up for yourself. It shows you have healthy boundaries and will protect their interests when you work for them.

The article shows that federation delivers data to Meta even if you personally don't use Threads, but I agree with your point.

If you want to control distribution of your data, don't join a federation designed to distribute data. Trying to blacklist nodes in a graph that you don't control is not a solution.

SiFive has pretty good documentation for their cores and chips -- they are more PC/Server class (some lowspeed peripherals plus PCIE and Ethernet) than SoC style.

In addition to a documented RV64 SoC, it'd be cool to see some RV32 MCUs that are a little beefier -- more competitive with the mid-range Cortex M4 and M7 stuff (more peripherals, more SRAM, etc) -- instead of the existing stuff that looks similar to very tiny M0/M3 devices.

There are two separate mechanisms here. In this particular subthread, we're discussing code signing -- when an executable lacks it, Windows says "this isn't signed, you sure you want to run this?".

Interesting discussion. Every tech company I know of has a career path for engineers who don't want to get into management (with roles like staff, senior staff, principal, distinguished engineer, technical fellow etc.) and so you can keep progressing basically indefinitely as an IC. I have never seen this done on the product side, however. After a point every product manager has to start to focus on people management to get ahead, which undoubtedly has a negative effect on the product itself. I wonder if more companies will start following this approach for non-technical roles as well.

> Some of this is good advice, but I definitely wouldn't advocate embellishing your resume in this way. You're going to waste a lot of time on the phone with recruiters exploring roles you probably are not a good fit for. Also if I contact you because I'm looking for a FOO expert and you actually only read a blog post about FOO, you immediately lose credibility with me. Very low chance of it turning into a job.

I think it depends on whether you already have a job you're OK with vs. if you're unemployed and have N months until you're living in your car.

I've been unemployed with a family and burning through a very small savings account. When you're in that situation, "finding a good fit" is not a priority. Getting an offer letter from any company by any means is the priority. Embellish and spam. Knock on physical doors if you have to. Let the company decide whether you're a good fit. This is one of those unfortunate "don't hate the player, hate the game" realities.

> you should have a cloud-native setup ready to go

why is storing the file as a FAISS/LanceDB on-disk vector store not "cloud native"?
I am running this setup in production across dozens of nodes, we migrated all of our infrastructure off Pinecone towards this solution and have seen 10x drop in latency, and the cost improvements have been dramatic (from paid, to totally free).

I have a bit of an axe to grind in the vector DB space, it feels like the industry has gaslit developers over the last year or so into thinking SAAS is necessary for vector retrieval, when low latency on-disk KNN across vectors is a solved problem.

Again, this is not a bug. There are many, way too many places in standard library which are thread unsafe. Some of these are actual bugs, but not this one. If Java originally moved in Odersky's direction that won't be the case but now it's way too late to point fingers at these "quirks".
In order to properly fix these issues the whole standard library has to be redesigned around immutability and, probably, immutable arrays must be supported at VM level.
This is not going to happen.

But it's specified that standard Java classes are thread unsafe by default. So this is a specified behaviour.

This doesn't matter. If I did the same with your medical records HIPAA wouldn't give two shits. I improperly secured data, end of story.

Short story time: I never could memorize various geometry equations, like surface area or volume of basic shapes. Then one day while bored at my part time job, I found a paper and pencil and decided to use what I'd just learned in calculus to see if I could derive one of those equations, by leaving variables in instead of using concrete numbers.

It totally worked, I reinvented the volume of a sphere equation and ever since that day I've never forgotten it because now every part of the equation has meaning. I know why it is the way it is, and it makes sense.

> when they eventually add ActivityPub support

What does that have to do with anything? Mastodon is explicitly setup to allow all user data to be harvested. What Threads supports or doesn't support in the end has no bearing on Mastodon having all user data public.
MSIs often contain CAB files, which 7Zip can also open, though usually files in MSIs aren't named the same as their uncompressed files (i.e., .dl_ for .dll).
Resistance from Mastodon enthusiasts doesn't matter. Governments and companies can still decide to run their own ActivityPub infrastructure, running on Mastodon or something else. Threads and other services will federate with them, users will be able to follow accounts from those government and company instances.

Small Mastodon communities can choose to not federate, but they would be missing out on a lot, assuming ActivityPub takes off.
Sadly, my arguments that URLs should follow the same logic (instead of middle-out) and go something like:

.com.example.sub/path/to/folder/and/file.html

have yet to meet success. I suppose it's because the date format naming has a great immediate effect: sorting a folder by file gives you intended-time sorting as well (which may not match creation time if you copy or download the file).

My understanding is that this is kind of the pattern of the beer downturn. The huge operations are doing okay, shifting around amongst their sub-brands, introducing seltzers, etc. And the hyper-local stuff is still doing well it seems. But the "pretty big" craft brewers that went nationwide, they're facing the brunt.
Subqueries and windowing and partitioning are annoying tedious areas if you only use that sort of SQL occasionally (<1/month) and the GPT4 API seems to massively help for turning plain text into the appropriate stuff. I know enough to be able to be confident in it after running some tests of the query, but not enough to knock it out cold without a few minutes research.
I'm literally dealing with that as we speak. Some architecture developed by the Staff Eng. on a team that's really not workable and was causing the team to run in circles. Ultimately, I had to jump in and ask a lot of questions about the implementation. i.e. Why was it built that way, along with the related questions about what goals of the implementation were (elegance, speed to delivery, future-proofing, ability to parallelize code effort, etc) and what app/business problems the code was solving.
Types (interface contracts) are already easily sharable with an IDL and code generation. There's no need to stick to a common programming language to share types.

I'm highly skeptical of code sharing for other scenarios, and rarely (never) have seen the effort worth the payoff.
