EF for some time (since the "Core" reboot) has made things like "crazy cross apply" "opt-in only" and instead you get runtime exceptions for LINQ query shapes it thinks can only be done that way. Some of those crazy things early days EF silently supported still aren't even possible in today's EF, for mostly better (but sometimes rarely worse), let alone opt-in behaviors.

I think more than ever current EF generates SQL that straightforward looks like you would expect given the LINQ you've written, with only surprises being runtime exceptions before it ever tries to confuse an SQL database with a horribly deoptimized query.

Today's EF also has more tools than ever to optimize its queries. It logs query text by default in some debug contexts to visible debug consoles, and to certain telemetry providers when errors occur in certain release/Production contexts. It's easy to opt-in to such logging in even more contexts should you desire that. (Thanks to modern .NET's ubiquitous System-owned ILogger infrastructure and the modern "Generic Hosts" approach.) For advanced scenarios, intercepting specific LINQ queries and enhancing/optimizing their output based on domain knowledge of the queries or the specific databases is easier than ever with simple dependency injection.

Just barging in to say that, in that particular case, no, they shouldn't have commandeered the handle. It's pretty well established now that this hasty rebanding is going sideways in more ways than one. Like, actually imagine being so dim as to reband to something already trademarked by your largest competitor. This ongoing Elon-saga really goes to show that, no, billionaires aren't actually the best and brightest. Anyway, all they've done here is strip a longstanding user of their handle that they've had and used for years, and Twitter will be forced to rebrand away from X soon anyway. They've just publicly alienated one of their own users for all to see.

Even if you strongly agree with her criticism of the pope, the way that she expressed that criticism -- by deceiving everyone on SNL to pull off her stunt -- certainly branded her as a loose cannon in the industry. Unpredictability might entertain audiences, but it's a huge liability from an entertainment industry perspective.

And arguably, her antics greatly overshadowed the message she was trying to get across. How many people even realized what she was criticizing? So it ended up pissing off a lot of people without actually being effective in drawing attention to the issue she wanted to raise awareness toward.

There are plenty of 6 figure jobs outside of FAANG, and the lowest pay I'd even fathom taking for a software development role isn't far below that (maybe 85-90k for a straight-out-of-school junior dev). If you're making less than that, with enough experience to be talking about "the last five years", then you probably should start looking for roles at other companies.

I'm not understanding how giving the client a token that you put in a request header that proves you've paid, or is just an account lookup token to then ask a payment processor whether or not their account is in good standing, is limited in a way that WEI makes better.

Most of them have a receiver option too. Dexcom does. They're another cost though, and quite expensive for what they do (~$400 for the G7 receiver). They don't have Wi-Fi though, so they can't upload data (at least for Dexcom).

Why are you proposing some sort of reverse slippery slope? So because "we" don't oppose a TPM, we shouldn't oppose any form of attestation?

If anything you are just proving the point of the most paranoid.

I don't even have a strong opinion on this but it's so weird to see this argument over and over. It's just calling for even an even more extreme reaction to any effort that goes in this direction, just in case it's used to justify a push for even worse stuff down the line.

They're not. Depending on your competency, you have a _ton_ of tools at your disposal for filtering traffic ranging from basic throttle to sophisticated behavior/request profiling.

I've spent more than a little bit of my career dealing with bots and I'm not really sure that a cryptographically signed blob proving that the request came from $thisSpecificVersion of firefox running on $thisExactVersion of osx is really going to help me.

I don't care _what_ made the request because that can always be spoofed; this cat and mouse game always ends at the analog loop hole. I care about what the request(s) are trying to do and that is something that I figure out with just the data I have server side.

WEI doesn't check whether they are a bot though.... they can trivially use a "trusted" browser setup and just automate it with Selenium or whatever. Or in a worst-case scenario, a $5 robot arm, with a perfectly attested browser.

The whole "this will block bots" part of the spec is complete bollocks and a red herring to distract from the real purpose - to block adblockers and competition from new browsers. And DRM, of course.

If the IP address is dropped in the de-identification pipeline, why is it stored in the "raw events"? If you don't need an exact timestamp, why are you storing it? Why does the app send all of this identifying data to be stored for 21 days instead of "de-identifying" it beforehand?
> has anyone written to the respective competition authorities

Just a reminder that several states have already filed an antitrust suit (in part) over a previous Google plan to turn the web into their own walled garden.

> Project NERA was Google’s original plan to create a closed ecosystem out of the open internet. Google documents reveal that Google’s motive was to “successfully mimic a walled garden across the open web [so] we can protect our margins.”

According to Google’s internal documents, the strategy would allow Google to extract even higher intermediation fees. A Google employee aptly described Google’s ambition for Project NERA to “capture the benefits of tightly ‘operating’ a property … without ‘owning’ the property and facing the challenges of building new consumer products.”

Google main strategy to do this was to leverage its popular browser, Chrome, to track users, by forcing them to stay logged into the browser. Google did this by logging users into the browser when they logged into any Google property such as Gmail or YouTube, and logging them out of services when they logged out of the browser.

For me it would be, first and foremost, "not having to deal with Python's many idiosyncrasies".

Technology can capture energy, and the amount of energy we capture increases every year.
Smart contracts are fundamentally a business technology where money is hosted & manipulated natively on the platform.
This is pretty awesome & could be very dirsuptive.

The problem is at least in ecosystems such as Ethereum you have a single line of defense, your smart contract code. And that code is written in a poor language with very little security features.

Worst if something go wrong you can maybe pause, suicide your contract before your money is gone (what goes again the very principle of the platform) or if you are lucky & worked very hard on this you might have the chance to upgrade your contract.

The result is any contract being used seriously need to go through a long & very expensive by one of the few serious company is this field.

For now the Ethereum project have been very focused on solving the scalability & decentralization problem but my guess is without big progresses on the smart contract security & developer experience front no serious actor will ever consider adopting the platform.

This isn't the whole story, but linking is CPU-intensive and older linkers are mostly single-threaded. A lot of the performance gains come from doing work in parallel, which makes for a big improvement on beefy modern multicore CPUs.

When workspaces are finite and defined one can simply bind hotkeys to switch to a particular workspace and tend to put the same things in the same workspace. EG your main browser window is in workspace 9 full screen on your monitor and you can switch to it immediately with super+9

Switching between windows in a unknown workspace arrangement is more effort because you are triggering an action, possibly by taking your hands off the keyboard, grabbing your mouse, moving it somewhere, clicking on something, hunting for the desired item, selecting it. This seems trivial but you are performing the same actually constantly.

> 32-bit only atomics, I don't think its a very serious solution in practice

Yeah, I think I encountered that while porting a hash map from CUDA to HLSL.

However, I'm not sure that's necessarily a huge deal. Probably not an issue for machine learning or BLAS stuff, these use cases don't need fine-grained thread synchronization.

For applications which would benefit from such synchronization, traditional lock-free techniques ported from CPU (i.e. compare and swap atomics on global memory) can be slow due to huge count of active threads on GPUs. I mean it's obviously better than locks, but sometimes it's possible to do something better instead of CAS.

> so much API-crap you need to even get Hello World / SAXY up.

I agree for D3D12 and especially Vulkan, but IMO D3D11 is not terribly bad. It has a steep learning curve, but the amount of boilerplate for simple apps is IMO reasonable. Especially for ML or similar GPGPU stuff which only needs a small subset of the API: compute shaders only, no textures, no render targets, no depth-stencil views, no input layouts, etc.

However, unlike simple apps, real-life ones often need profiler and queue depth limiter, relatively hard to implement on top of these queries. I think Microsoft should ship them both in Windows SDK.
> These days? Thanks to affordability of what it takes to produce a track and the ease of getting your material released to the public, you can go from a nobody to someone with a hit track overnight. All for the price of a laptop, some decent speakers/headphones, and a midi-controller. And even that list is optional, as there are people who produce great stuff with less than this or even something entirely different.

But how many actually manage to pull off that feat? You can probably count them on two hands. One-hit wonders yes, there have been a fair few of these that managed to hit the zeitgeist thanks to social media (Wellerman!), but a sustained career after that, from scratch and with no prior experience?

There have been some incidents with Russian modules and spacecraft over the years demonstrating the gradual decline in their capability, but so far it hasn't been determined to br worth the effort of figuring out if the sides can even be disconnected anymore.

The talk about private space stations isn't really about privatizing the existing ISS. There are private trips to there every once in a while (required to be led by any former astronaut at the ISS though).

Besides that maybe you're thinking of Axiom's space station, which is intended to have modules docking to the American side of the station and gradually building off of it until their modules can handle being independent, at which point the ISS modules would be disconnected and deorbited, leaving their private space station on its own.
> The Atlas V has absolutely nothing to do with the launch delay.

Boeing announced in May 2016 that their first crewed flight would be delayed to 2018 due to issues related to Starliner's Atlas V N22 launch vehicle. [0]

Starliner's problem isn't delays--it is a failed program. The only thing delayed is terminating the program and selling those high value but soon to depreciate Atlas V boosts to something worth doing. (7 of 29 remaining Atlas V (as of 2022) are allocated to Starliner. To get past 7 requires a whole new integration/test/certification for Starliner.)
