This article is not very good at explaining what is it they are actually describing. Is directfs just a way to access hosts local fs? If so than my understanding of it is that they used to use rpc to access local fs before (horrible overhead) to sandbox it. Now they've just replaced a part of the operating system filesystem API that resolves paths to file descriptors with their tool so once a file descriptor is obtained the container can talk directly to the fs.

To me this resolves a very narrow use case where you have to run untrusted containers on trusted hosts. This is a very narrow use case. I imagine main target users for this are people that want to offer a service like fargate and run multiple customers on a single host. Why would they want to do that instead of separating customers with VMs? My suspicion is this has something to do with the increasing availability of very energy efficient arm servers that have hundreds of cores per socket. My impression is traditional virtualisation on arm is rarely used (I'm not sure why as kvm supports it, arm since armv8.1 has hw support for it). So "containers to the rescue".

Personally I'd much rather extra security to enable untrusted containers access to the hosts fs is implemented in the container runtime, not as a separate component. Or if the "security issues" it addresses perhaps even in the hosts operating system?

If that means "prepaid cards" then I suspect that an abnormally high volume might indeed be a red flag.

Damn. Wow.
Who knows? Maybe society will change for the better once this technology becomes widespread. Maybe people will finally stop publishing their lives for the world to see.
I'm still confused about what was actually being done and why. Like what's the purpose of this experiment? What are the outputs, what does a successful result look like and what does a failure look like?

So I take it that positioning the reflector over the plutonium core generates more or less output from the sphere. Was somebody measuring that? But if so surely the actual precise distances involved are important?

So if the point is "how close do we have to get to get to X output", then surely distance measuring is of critical importance, and a screwdriver is completely unsuitable for that task.

Now I get it was a demonstration, so the actual data output may not have been important. But still, the person you're teaching needs the actual useful results when they do the experiment for real, so surely they will need something other than a screwdriver?

>The fix for bad words isn’t to swap them with “good” words, but to answer “what?” and “so what?” in your product description.

This seems to be the central thesis, but the first problem is that we don't always write marketing copy to be pointed, we most often write it to be engaging.

The second problem is knowing your audience. If your product is creating an actually-simpler way to do something complex without trading off the power to do those things, guess what? You should say that it's simple while still powerful.

There are certainly marketing taglines that just string together these words in less meaningful ways. Here's an example:

> A simple and powerful way to build a checkout experience.

This is meaningless guff and fits the article's definition. But then:

>A simple but powerful way to build complex checkout experiences.

Now the intent is to tell the reader that the simplicity doesn't compromise the depth of customisation. It's also fair to assume the reader has enough domain information to understand what such a compromise might mean.

Therefore these words aren't "bad", it's using them to gloss over poor copy writing that is "bad".
It's one of the skills that indicates someone is more than a software-engineering, misanrthopic robot. This world has enough of those.

Signalling is an important thing, it's why you iron your shirt before the interview - it may even be why you have a degree. The cost of false positives is high, so if this filters out skilled engineers who think are appeasing the interviewer's ego, the system is working.

Either way, really - many in-house recruiters do actively source via LinkedIn and encourage inbound messages there from interested candidates. But it seemed like this was a suggestion to use LinkedIn as a front door rather than as a back door.

> Instead of focusing on the source of stress and trying to solve the underlying issues, it fights the symptoms.

This only makes sense if you assume that being stressed is a correct and useful response to your environment.
Meta studies study individual papers which in turn are essentially asking people if they feel happier if they do X. Anecdotally.

This particular one does a lot of math which no one has the patience to verify. It just sounds smart, like the papers on nature.com that advertise probiotics.

If you trick yourself into being happy while being exploited by the system it may indeed work (that's why rulers liked Christianity as a tool for pacifying the masses). But you are not solving the underlying issues.
My limited understanding is that the gene involved is very large and therefore difficult to use in traditional gene therapy, though I have obviously very limited knowledge in this.
Why can't the owner set up their own private key when the car is purchased or transfer ownership? It's the owner that needs it protection from unauthorized use and not the manufacturer.
Walking or exercise also have that effect, similar to mindfulness, if that's your goal.

Therapy in itself has limited scientific backing (specific types for specific diagnosis often do). But it feels rational.

However the main point is:
Buddhism, and all religions, focus on why you do what you do.

The Western Way is confusing, partially career & material, bit of humanism, etc. Now that's fine. You can figure it out in this system and some people do. But there is no clear road. There is freedom in that, but it comes with a huge amount of anxiousness & confusion.

The western reason for doing things: focusing on getting external circumstances in order (friends, career, house, family) will cause a huge amount of anxiety. Buddhism, and perhaps also Christianity, give non-personal teachings to elevate your focus to a point where it's less about what you do & who you are.

You don't have to believe me and can wait for science to figure this out. But seeing the rise of anxiety, depression & pill usage, I don't have much confidence in the current understanding of the Western world in mental health.

> I would suggest to email directly to a company hr or apply directly through company's job portal. Apply to companies that don't advertise on linkedin or similar portals. This is how I got essentially all of my jobs and this is how I get leads even now.

How do you find out which companies are hiring, please? It's like a catch-22 situation: in order to know that a company is hiring, you need to know that the company is hiring. If I search for open positions for my role on Google, all I am seeing is the endless stream of recruiting agencies with no visibility into what companies they are actually recruiting for... Are there any places left where companies advertise directly?
That goes a long way, tailoring the CV and, if absolutely needed, cover letter for each application. The CV also when recruiters reached out to you, as they still have to present it to HR and hiring managers (also having a recruiter presenting the CV and candidate helps a lot, and means the CV can be a bit less polished). And if recruiters, or the companies behind them, require a cover letter, being contacted first by the recruiter makes writing those a lot easier since you don't have to cold sell yourself as much. And the first discusion / phone screening, ehich propably didn't require a cover letter, gives you hints and hooks to use in the letter (I say that as person who hates selling myself and especially writing cover letters, also I found my last job that way).

Now the trickey part is, so, to have solid recruiters hiring for real positions reaching out to you. For some reason, they did in my case more or less every time I kind of needed it. I have not the slightest clue so why, my LinkedIn profile was up to date but far from polished...

Well, I content myself with being lucky for some reason, and I am aware how lucky I am when it comes to that and quite grateful to universe, and hope to never have to go through that whole process again, because applying, getting new jobs, tinse and repeat, gets stressful at a certain point. And now I reached a point in my career where I like the stability of a job, collectively (and relatively high) bargained salary, good, bordering very good to almost stellar, retirement benefits, I job that is truely challenging (new stuff that allows me use my experience almost completely, while being borderline scary at times) working on a product for which projected end-of-service-life is over a decade after my legal retirement age.

That being said, I had a period in which I had to write a ton of applications whipe seeing the clock running down on my unemployment benefits. That alone can be soul crushing, so I try to cut people somenslack when it comes to CV and cover letter polishing. It still means one shouod put some thought behind both tasks so.
How do you find these third party recruiters and convince them to work with you?
> having it stay open for months on end, right

I stayed with you. Here's the non-sequitur. New positions appear on an ongoing basis and the latency from opening to accepted offer is non-zero.

> AI only takes, it doesn't give anything back, it doesn't inspire.

Totally wrong. There is even a well known counter example: dream-like videos generated by ai wasn't something we had before.
This statement tells me you never used it.

> just so that some billionaire can afford another yacht

You are heavily mistaken, that the scenario where ai learning isn't considered as fair use of material. In this case, only megacorps will be able to trains their own AI by spending billions in content.

> Obviously that would cost a lot of money so big tech companies are once again looking for a free ride.

You are constructing your own story while ignoring what is happening.

Adobe and Dall-e models were trained with datasets they mostly had rights over. OpenAI partnered with Shutterstock, and Adobe have their own photo stock.
Big tech companies didn't had problem looking for image content.
Stable Diffusion on the other hand is open source & open research, but didn't had any rights on most of the image they trained.
I find meditation, mindfulness on the one hand and apps, smartphones, and technology, on the other, to be a grotesque contradiction in terms. Obviously I know this is not a widespread opinion.
> What we've seen happen over and over is that product A needs Feature A, and product B needs Feature B, and they both need it tomorrow, and the platform team only has resources for one. And since Product A and Product B are in different business divisions

That seems like an unnecessary coupling between different products.

I understand this concept of a platform team mainly within one (larger) product. But maybe it's the same thing, just on a different scale.

> What we're striving towards instead is an "inner source" model, where a platform is collaboratively developped and maintained by multiple product teams. Each product team is then empowered to build new features as needed into the platform, and others can reuse them.

I think it breaks down at a certain point of complexity. The platform itself is complex enough that it's very difficult for product teams to understand it holistically. I've seen this multiple times when the product teams were still able to make the changes as needed, but over the long term this approach created a hot mess of platform features which didn't align to each other and no single person understood.

Although in retrospect I guess my bad for believing what he said once.
This is not a crackpot theory, this is how the Constitution works.

You cannot impose specific restrictions on Congress on personal rights that ordinary members of the public have (trading stocks and other property assets) without a specific clause set out for it in the Constitution. Their private property rights are explicitly protected by the Due Process of the 5th amendment and Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment (same as you and me):

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.]"

They do not lose 5th and 14th amendment protections in their private affairs just because they were elected to Congress. Bribery is illegal for everyone, not just Congress. Trading stocks are not.

That being said, you'd be naive to believe that implicit bribery does not occur in U.S. politics. And in practice, it's very difficult to prosecute a bribery case against a member of Congress as it's not permissible to introduce acts of legislation as evidence in court (US v Helstoski, 1979). In US v Brewster (1972), it was found that taking of a bribe was not protected by the Speech and Debate clause since the taking of the bribe was not related to "performance of a legislative function". Even then, though, Brewster was found not guilty despite quite overtly requesting a bribe.

You're vastly exaggerating the costs of changing domains (and setting up a redirect).

I'm glad you mention TLS certificate, because those are an ongoing thing, not something you set up once leave unchanged for 40 years.
That's also true in other domains - the more I learn about a sport the more interesting it is to watch because there is more to see and understand.

I can see the opportunity though for analysis to overcome emotion. You want to respond instinctively to something, but learning to be an expert in something sometime requires nurturing a dispassionate, analytical response. I can completely see how learning about wine might take away some of the joy that you might experience trying something new, because you're just cataloguing it.

Semi-related: my wife has a friend who became a "serious" coffee person over the pandemic. He firmly warns everyone that it's the worst decision he's ever made - he's become too much of a snob and now can't drink any coffee apart from that made at home. He can't even get it from a high street vendor and enjoy it.
Sure it works for you but if you need tools to manage then I can't imagine the average applicant in your process has very good odds.

Even if only a few companies hire through direct contact, many of the ones that do will hire more than 1 in 10 of the relatively infrequent direct contacts, while their HR process may be sitting on the thousands of regular applications.
You can still meditate with focus on breathing for even 1 minute. It may not be as effective as if you had more time, but I used to do that on the bus to work or even at work when taking a break so you can still do something.

Thank you, I will take you up on that offer at some stage.
> Perks. We often meet directly with recruiters in person, and they have expense accounts and take us for lunch/drinks we don't have to pay for. This makes us want to keep using them over direct applications (yes recruiters, this 100% works, we won't use you if you're shit regardless but we'll 100% entertain looking at your candidates if you take us for lunch or drinks - check compliance limits before suggesting a venue though).

How badly are you paid?
You invest in Apple or Tesla, get hit with 30% tax, and receive communication from IRS while living in Europe and having nothing to do with USA. Then try to clarify the whole mess.
The bigger the employer, the more likely it is, that after a first recruiter phone screen, you still havebto go through the normal recruotment / application process, for compliance reasons mostly. No big deal, as the recruiter is working on your behalf on the other end, if he decided to invite you to an interview with the hiring manager, to fast track you application through whatever arcane or byzantine process there is.
Coping skills are great, but there is definitely a danger of psychological professionals assuming that changes are not possible and they should just train people to cope. I've literally had a psychologist apologise for spending several months doing that to me, because he didn't realize that I had the resources, and let's be blunt - money - to make greater changes to my life than he expected.
The perceived value of results is higher if it takes a longer time to load, users feel the computer is hard at work. If its true for flight searches, its true for backup systems.
I think it depends on what you want from the platform. I like the real world contacts this platform can generate.

On the other hand, I must avoid touching hot button topics because some of them, no matter what stance you do take, essentially ruin your ability to interact with large swaths of the population or with employers.
>not this US-style agent-works-for-me stuff

These still exist for large companies (especially US companies) and those with internal recruiters. It's a shame that the latter get tarred with the general term - they have very different motivations and methods.
That seems quite reasonable.

Mastodon for some reason doesn't seem very inviting or maybe it's not marketed well enough.

But good to know it's working for you :)
You're looking at the section titled “Use eSIM Quick Transfer on iPhone”, which explicitly states “Some carriers support SIM transfers from your previous iPhone to your new iPhone without needing to contact them.”

So this doesn't apply in the case where you contact the carrier to transfer the eSIM. Which you'd have to do if your SIM card were damaged or lost anyway…
Am I the only one who thinks meditation with an app is super hilariously weird? Its hard to explain without falling for too much cynism, but... the topic is mindfulness, not "have my phone tell me what to do next". If you are unable to mediate without the help of an app, start here, instead of pretending you are meditating just because some app tells you every step along the way.
This is so helpful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
`tidy` is similar to python context managers, or an automatic `defer`. So any resources within the function have their `.close`s run.

`heap` is a semantics of `new`: allocate to the global heap
`temp` likewise means allocate to a smaller temporary arena
`pure` means no allocations and no resources

$vars are compile-time where $lowercase are integers, $UPPERCASE are types.

The type int*10 is a static array, so $T*$i is a compile-time variable but run-time static array.

The `api` keyword is for interface types, it's a syntax transform to a compile-time variable, ie., `fn($T) generic(x: $T)` with a compile-time constraint on $T

> Since you're all over this thread playing word games, some of your own medicine:

Are you seriously disputing that it is rational to hold the view "Gay Marriage Should Be Legal" and "People Objecting to Gay Marriage Are Not Calling For The Cessation Of Existence Of Gays"?

Because it sure looks, to the average reader, that you are incapable of understanding that many people can hold two non-conflicting thoughts in their head at the same time.

Aren't you able to hold two thoughts at the same time without having a neural meltdown? Why do you think others can't?
Which is why they're so interesting to study!

What will also be interesting imo is seeing what CCF looks like in another 20 years after we've (maybe) gone through another recession. Will they cut back the menu to save labor costs from needing so many people who can cook wildly different dishes at the same time? Smaller restaurants with less kitchen space? More centralization of food prep that is then shipped into an individual location flash frozen?

Businesses that try to expand too much (in all senses of the idea) will face scaling issues and potentially need to cut scope to increase efficiency and lower costs, or be forced to raise prices to compensate. CCF has been around for 45 years according to Wikipedia and has only gotten bigger and more complex at the individual store level. For a restaurant, that is an incredible feat and deserves a lot of analysis that can hopefully be shared with smaller chains or owner-operators to help them find profitability with their existing "small" menus.
Putting your resume on job boards for 3rd party recruiters (at least in India). Not sure how it is in EU/US.

For recruiters within a company, try looking for them on LinkedIn, check out a recent post of theirs to verify if they still work for the company, and reach out with an application if they have an email address, or via LinkedIn messages.
The methods in the article emulate hardware-managed tiles (https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/PPU seems a good starting point for the NES) in software, using a frame buffer of independent pixels: the challenge is adapting a sideways scrolling game engine to look good in a completely different system's memory space and bandwidth limitations, not "figuring out how to do sideways scrolling" per se.
Haha we had the same thing! Mum was always complaining about the phone being in use and I used to have to put the duvet over the pc to hide the modem calling, the AT commands to turn off the speaker never worked.
Eventually that company released the pay once never again CD that put an add at the top of the screen. That was happy days for awhile until they they went bust.
