> My solution to every ounce of apprehension is deleting and re-cloning out of paralysis and fear.

Having worked with older version control systems, I found that to be one of the best things about git. If I had a problem with a version control system like AccuRev, that sort of simple fix was not possible. Your every action resulted in a change of the server state, so if you got your workspace into a confusing state, the confusion would be synced to every machine.

These days I understand git well enough that I can fix just about any mistake, but the 'delete and start over' workflow was extremely valuable to me as a beginner. Knowing that there was a foolproof fallback of just deleting and recloning let me experiment without fear.
The SNR of this saga is very low. A speck of something floating under a magnetic field on a blurry video is not proof of room temperature superconductivity. We've seen memes, jokes, shitposting, bravado, Soviet fan fiction, play-by-play updates from non-SMEs cooking stuff under improvised conditions. No actual resistance measurement of LK-99 with a 4 point probe.

If this is real, then discoverers found this in 1999, apparently couldn't synthesize with good yield, couldn't analyze rigorously, sat on the discovery for 24 years, were recently rushed to publish half-baked papers, and are now silent. None of this inspires confidence.

LK-99 could hypothetically be the real deal, and I want to believe, but I'm patiently waiting for people who actually know what they're doing to offer experimental evidence.
That's just strawman. I have my pwd database stored in the cloud and synced to all my devices. How do I get back online? I will use one of my other devices. And in an unlikely event that all of those devices get destroyed all at once I will just hit "Forgot password" button.
When I learned to drive, we were taught hands at 10 and 2 on the wheel. Apparently now, my kid was taught 9 and 3 or even 8 and 4 because modern cars with steering wheel airbags are more likely to injure you if your hands are placed the old way.
Someone might appreciate the write-up I did after using git for a couple of years:

If I say so myself, I think it's better than TFA from redhat.
We standardized on Clickhouse for everything. (With its own set of surprising and/or horrifying ops issues.)
But at least it is a proper high-load, high-availablity solution, unlike Kafka, Cassandra, et al.
This is bad logic. Ferromagnetic explains half levitation but it doesn't explain full levitation. Superconductivity is sufficient to explain full levitation and half levitation.

> Simply because ferromagnets are common

Sure, metal ones are, but Are ceramic ferromagnets (without iron) common? That lone electron in an orbital is pretty important.

As long as it’s used to improve the product what’s wrong with that?

It's not about "not always wanting to work together".

It's about "i want to be able to pick the tools i use", which in turn means "the underlying data we operate on needs to use a format/storage mechanism that any reasonable candidate for a tool can use"

And the answer to that quandry is: plain text files.
For some of us, being wrong is its own consequence.
Like the Malaysian 777, we know it's missing. No idea what happened to it or where it is. Even in the twenty-first century it's not impossible.

In the context of the Russian war, the Russian government stole a bunch of planes being leased to Russian airlines by foreign companies and assigned them Russian tail numbers. With that paucity of transparency I'd say it's even easier to hide a plane wreck over there.
I hope that ultimately it will come to that because I don't think anything else will put this to rest one way or the other (unless it is 100% confirmed/reproduced by another lab). It also seems to be the shortest path to a resolution.
One of the few sentences more depressing (when relevant) than "Stallman was right" is "Ted Kaczynski had a point".
It’s the delivery. I can often get something inconsequential for net cheaper, faster from Amazon. Local stock is usually next day. And I can often get stuff internationally cheaper and faster through Amazon than the real retailer.

Hey Jeff,

My response is focused here to be as productive as possible, and intentionally doesn't enter your other comments about Wasmer or my persona as, while incredibly accurate, I want to make sure we keep conversation properly railed.

We recently presented Wasmer Edge [1], for which developers, enterprises and VC firms are incredibly excited for it as it brings a more scalable approach for both Cloud and Edge computing. Please give it a try and let us know if you have any questions!

https://wasmer.io/products/edge
all the full levitation videos are questionable in origin. I'd even go so far as to call every single one of them fake.

No credible reproduction has featured a levitating sample.

Any bets on when we we’ll see RISC-VI? And which aspects of RISC-V it will change, correcting mistakes or designs that didn’t scale to unanticipated computing environments or requirements?
Thanks for your contribution. Always interesting to learn about such companies.
Because the act of the believe doesn't affect reality. Either u have a robust way to make the right judgement of the progress (in the case u r at the forefront of the research and knows what they r talking about), or u r just a bystander.

In the later case, the is no point in overthinking
>That general improvement, over the long haul, in the material conditions of people lends an arc to the human story. History is not cyclical, like the seasons of the year. Rather, history is the story of a fundamental inversion in progress. We are slowly graduating from top-down systems of political control to bottom-up systems. Like an iceberg rolling over in the open oceans, human society has been transiting from despotism toward democracy over the millennia.

Very much disagree.
He talked about Roman Empire's (and late Republic) massive inequality, but he forgot about Athens, where Western notions of democracy were born and strangled by kings and republics (then Emperors). We have had peasants republics in Dark Age Europe (Frisia, San Marino, even Venezia and Genoa and a dozen elective city-states).

In Asia, my tribe has had majestic maharajas that spun the entire region, who then retreated to their mountain refuges to rule as sacral kings, only to lose power to bottoms-up tribal and village councils that revolted into theocracy only to be subsumed into the colonial state.

Politics is downstream of culture and economics, not the cause of the latter.
And the point is what exactly?

That people should submit to abusive environments and wait for the glorious union leaders to come save them?

How about just not working for abusive workplaces? Why is that not an option you've considered before?

I think so. It isn't about $$ that they are making. More of smaller/less obvious companies that take this path.

In the last 3 years it's been obsessing over how to better exploit customers. As a result, there's no innovative solutions happening, and whatever is being pushed is sloppily executed and filled with vulnerabilities. It is quite disheartening and unrewarding to experience, as no matter what you do (1, 2, 4, 6 pagers proposing interventions; escalations) it has no impact. People in power have made up their minds to break everything (whether they know it or not), and so it is.

Yep, working on what you love can make you do things way beyond reason. It didn't matter that you are effectively working for half of minimum wage - at least you were doing that thing of passion... until absolute total burn out. That was 9 years I will never get back, but whatever, I am in a much better place now. Just chill out and take it easy when you can.
These sort of answers do not inspire confidence. That looks like a play for time, why would they connect those two, it's clear they have priority locked in if the sample works out, the peer review of their paper is secondary to the questions of whether or not it is the real deal or not.
I have actually emailed the EFF about the proposal, about 3 weeks ago. All I got back was an acknowledgement.

Bit disappointed, to say the least.
I think the context of mathematics is more important than what is taught. I took AP Calc with AP Physics, and I found I understood calc much better when it was in the context of basic physics. Instead of just teaching math, we need to put it in contexts that are more interesting to students that helps encourage them to learn.
Spend a week (seriously it will take that long, especially if you've been doing this for a long time and want to customize everything and also haven't been in the gentoo scene for a while) and switch [back] to Gentoo. (don't go all the way to Funtoo, yet, even though syncing and profiles are probably superior)

if you know what `init 0` is then you'll be able to pick up on Gentoo and it'll be the new distro for the rest of your life. another excellent option is Void or Alpine (both of which I prefer on servers, but Gentoo makes a better desktop because it's incredibly flexible).
All I can really say then is, be the change you want to see in the world.

We're all just writing code to scratch our own or others' itches, everyone has differing opinions on what is good or not.
> Relating it back to being a software developer, my expertise is in the problem domain and the business logic.

That's your problem right there.

You're a craftsman. You have three sets of inputs: raw materials, designs and tools.

You've chosen to focus on raw materials and designs, and have decided that mastery of the tools (or some subset of the tools) is not important.

A cabinet maker who said "my expertise is in complex corner joinery and standalone rectangular forms" would be laughed at if they also added "i find japanese saws and routers problematic".

Yes, tools are tricky. Tools are hard. But tools are an equal part of the task triangle, and you owe it yourself to build up your own scaffolding of understanding for the tools as you do for the other components.

It’s possible to use optimistic locking and versioning to ensure that things haven’t changed underneath you unexpectedly.
They are two linters with very different goals. Where Ruff prioritizes speed over all other concerns, and chooses Rust as the method of achieving that goal with a set of generic lint rules, Fixit is focused on making it easy for Python developers to write custom lint rules.

The use of LibCST (which has a parser written in Rust) makes it easy to build lint rules in Python. Fixit allows engineers to write local lint rules in their project repo with a minimum of boilerplate, and then immediately enable them, without needing to write custom plugins or packages, and without needing to rebuild or deploy a new version of Fixit. This lowers the barriers to writing rules, and provides a quick development and feedback cycle when testing them.

Hierarchical configuration allows Fixit to fit well into larger monorepos, with each team/project able to easily control what lint rules run on their code base. Open source projects homed in those monorepos also have tools to ensure that results are the same when running on internal vs external CI systems.
Step 1: go to amazon on a real computer and find book

Step 3: in the post purchase confirmation it says "Want to start reading right away?" and a dropdown of your devices with a deliver button.

It's a kids device they (and you) don't want your kid to be sent 50 shades of gray accidentally.

The other flow is buy book. Go to kindle, "sync and check for new items". But again, it's a kids book, don't want to pull your copy of "catcher in the rye" to their device accidentally.

edit: common question: what's a computer... it's a dying concept where you own the machine you bought instead of rent it, typically consisting of an open source os distribution, and the manufacturer doesn't take 30% of all transactions taking place on that hardware.

edit: I want to buy it on my phone: would you be ok paying 30% more than on a pc? Amazon doesn't think so. And giving 30% cut to apple / google would end up with amazon paying apple to sell the book. At that point why ?

> Furthermore, as Cloudflare Tunnel requires the installation of the 'cloudflared' client, defenders can detect its use by monitoring file hashes associated with client releases.

Is this effective? Presumably attackers could `go build` their own binaries to get equivalent clients with different hashes, or even combine the open-source `cloudflared` internals with a larger payload.
I am not in material science, but how does sharing a sample of the material not part of the paper review? Anyone can write a paper about things they did to make a material X, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If I am a top tier material science journal, I would not want to publish a phony SC because I waited to verify their sample.
You'll get your hands on my git stash when I'm dead and buried and turned to dust in the ground.

Did you mean to say "less value in commit graph"?

It's literally just a matter of a single command line argument to switch between views of whole MRs and individual commits, and both those views can be incredibly useful (especially during bisection).
Amazon is not innocent here. They are incredibly predatory as a middleman
The NFT/NFC is locked so the tag is immutable, and only the seller and Amazon have the public key. Barring some hack on the NFT/NFC tagging software (which could happen in theory), you'd need both the private and public key to create a counterfeit object, along with a MFA token of some sort (e.g., biometric data, another OTP like Yubikey). And this would be true for every physical and/or digital print.
Does this mean your domain reputation system sucks if that number goes down or does it mean you are cleaning up your assetts well? If you knew for certain they were malicious, and didn't block them, that is what it is meant to capture but in reality a downward linechart is all that is needed to fulfill the metric.

Per the document, I think they're referring to a particular DNS service they themselves operate.
They do have adaptive pressure. 100s of millions of years of single cell evolutionary instincts live within our cells and the desire to survive. Being a multicellular organism is a relatively new learned behavior, and a human cell returning to that old mindset is basically cancer.

The only problem is that these individually minded (cancer) cells have every ability of your healthy cells and have basically stopped caring about the greater whole and care about themselves. Then they evolve at a micro level for their survival to fend off chemo, immune system, radiation etc. All it takes is one adapted/surviving cell to come back strong.

The sophisticated mechanisms for evasion exist because they have all the methods of evading your immune system that healthy multicellular organisms need to function and they multiply and increase their mutation rate to try new methods to survive and thrive.

I view cancer cells as single cells to understand their behavior with the adaptations of all the healthy cells returning to their “baser instincts”.

pulseaudio works in Gentoo now, and you can even run it without switching to systemd (which Gentoo also supports if you're into that). Gentoo also has a new sound server called pipewire that is pulseaudio compatible so that's an option also.

(and agreed with all of your other points, and there's still something to be said for the push button utility of ubuntu, etc; to your point, a lot of infosec people, including at large enterprises, prefer gentoo.. I know many of them and am one myself.)
But... go is gc as well. Most JVM gripes are about the knobs on GC, but Go is still a fundamentally GC'd language, so you'd have issues with that.

So... Go was the rewrite? Scylla at least rewrote Cassandra in C++ with some nice low-to-hardware improvements. Rust? ok. C++? ok. Avoid the GC pauses and get thread-per-core and userspace networking to bypass syscall boundaries.

And look, this thing is not going to steal the market share of Kafka. Kafka will continue to get supported, patched, and whenever the next API version of AWS comes out (it needs one), will this get updated for that?

Yeah, Kafka is "enterprisey" because ... it's java? Well no, Kafka is scalable, flexibly deployable (there's a reason big companies like the JVM), has a company behind it, is tunable, has support options, can be SaaS'd, has a knowledge database (REEEAAALLLLY important for distributed systems).

All those SQLite/RocksDB projects that slapped a raft protocol on top of them are in the same boat compared to Scylla or Cassandra or Dynamo. Distributed systems are HARD and need a mindshare of really smart experienced people that sustain them over time. Because when Kafka/Cassandra type systems get properly implemented, they are important systems moving / storing / processing a ton of data. I've seen hundred node Cassandra systems, those things aren't supposed to go down, ever. They are million dollar a year (maybe month) systems.

The big administration lifts in them like moving clouds, upgrading a cluster, recovering from region losses or intercontinental network outages are known quantities. Is some Go binary adhoc rewrite going to have all that? Documented with many people that know how to do it?
Yes, but we tend to focus on passive cooling rather than active cooling - your comment was all about active cooling and the extra costs thereof, and passive cooling techniques do not imply an extra power cost.

But yes - modern lower power hardware (Apple Silicon, lower power AMD Zen, etc) can be drastically faster than older hardware, at significantly lower power - and massively lower total power consumption for work done.

You can get wins here by making sure even modern hardware is running in the more power efficient part it's perf/watt curve - for example, ECO mode on modern AMD hardware (105W+ to 65W, for instance), reducing the board power limit on GPUs when doing compute (~420W to 225W, for most efficient on my 3090!), etc. You lose remarkably little performance by doing so.
Yet I think Amazon brands are setup to eliminate competition due to their insider information in the market place. I wouldn’t put my money in them because they aren’t playing fairly in the market.
What happened to the original LK-99 samples that (allegedly) displayed SC properties?
