> That depends on the worker’s goals.

If the worker's goals aren't pro-worker then the business certainly won't be. Your goal of training others is admirable, but that can be often be remote and won't stop them from getting rid of you the moment it is convenient.
It's also sensible to have high quality record markers that make identifying and skipping broken records easy. For example, recordio, a record-based container format used at Google in the early mapreduce days (and probably still used today) was explicitly designed to skip corruption efficiently (you don't wnt a huge index build to fail halfway through because a single document got corrupted).

Even so, I avoid parallel appenders to a single file, it can be hard to reason about and debug in ways that having each process appending to its own file doesn't.
Liz Truss was voted into power on that platform, but was then unceremoniously booted out a few weeks later when she actually tried to implement it and the bond and currency markets had a wobble. If only they could have weathered the storm, things might look very different by now.
Compiling and checking and selecting and filtering and sorting the phone numbers for a phone book and printing that book and distributing it is not trivial.

Fun facts, Grammar schools in the UK were originally schools created mainly to teach Latin grammar and currently there are 163 Grammar schools operating in the UK as academic oriented (or orientated per UK English grammar), secondary schools [1],[2]. You know that the language is hard when you have multitude of schools dedicated to teach its grammar. Latin has a reputation of a complex language with complicated grammar, and the OP kind of demonstrating this perception.

Interestingly, based on School Standards and Framework Act 1998, no new maintained grammar schools can be opened [3].

This article takes a story about some creators getting screwed out of their company by a crooked CEO and makes it about unions.

Whether or not creative artists should unionize (I'm generally anti-union but the game industry working conditions seemed so screwed up I think it's needed) this wasn't a dispute between employees and owners, but a dispute between two owners. One of which was a sophisticated unethical CEO and the unsophisticated creatives owners who built the game.

I think you're getting way ahead of the conversation, and there is no way to know what the implementation would be like and how communication would go between researchers and companies because if you can think of the communication problem today, then we can consider a solution for that problem in the implementation tomorrow.

At the end of the day, I am arguing for promoting people to try to work with companies, and to put out to the public a process for making that effort effective.

I feel like we agree but our solutions are opposite. The current laws are insufficient, so we need adjustments to the laws.

You (and others) propose we make hacking into systems fully legal, presumably because we can target malicious activity based on what they do with that access instead of the access itself. Is that correct?

I also disagree that a ban is equivalent to shooting an intruder. The connection is not the actor, the person using it is. If a person chooses to enter into a protected space they do not have permission to be in, then they are susceptible to consequences to that. I think just because it is easy to do it from your bedroom doesn't change it. Much like how virtual bullying is still bullying; virtual breaking and entering is still breaking and entering.

If we formally adopt this attitude then we also enable ourselves to pressure other jurisdictions to raise their standards to match.

An uncontrolled internet appareny has 1 outcome - malicious spam. That is what everyone in this thread seems to agree on, and the arguments against what I suggest all seem start with the assumption "there is nothing we can do about it" and the corollary "there is nothing we need to do about it"

I think we can actually do something about it, and I think we ought to. But before all of that, I think the first place to start is making a clear legal relationship between security researchers and the private sector and debate the laws that should be in place to facilitate that in a fair way
I love love love these kinds of experiments. Reminds me of the Early Web.

I really wish WebRTC was easier to use. I wish there were some good faith free servers to do the… crap I forget the acronyms… the STUN and TURN stuff and whatnot to negotiate the connections. Ie. Not a proxy, just an operator. Having one I could use freely and comfortably would trivialize a lot of neat projects, particularly fun little multiplayer games.

Your last sentence is right on, though.
The linting plugin is eslint-plugin-react-hooks[0], which enforces React's "rules of hooks"; it can detect when you access a value inside a React hook and will warn you that you should add it to your dependency array. It enforces some other rules here and there but that's the big one worth caring about the most. I would consider it essential for working with React hooks.

The only downside is that sometimes, the rule can end up being overly aggressive and tell you to add things which you explicitly don't want in your dependency array, but it's helpful probably 95+% of the time and not hard to opt out of or work around as needed.

Yes. I've never directly used sftp before, but checking the man page it does seem like it would fit the flow I described well.
Hm I think you and I might actually be saying the same thing, just using different terms? Tests as I understand them (based on reading the article shared by the person I was responding to[1]) run on mock data, rather than real source data. Those are the ones that I feel have limited ROI.

I definitely agree there is a lot of value in tests that check against actual source data (which that person's link refers to as audits[1]).

I will be honest with y'all, whenever someone coming with add-on sw launched into kernel I get anxiety attack as a platform engineer. This is very fragile matters both for performance as well as security. I see ddosify-alaz leverages prometheus node exporter for metrics collection which is awesome, using ebpf for service mash-map is promising but as I said I would prefer this part to be configurable to be not deployed if sre/platform teams do not want ebpf but only metric exporter capabilities to feed in to DDosify observability platform. Overall: Great Open source sw launch, please make it flexible for configuration. Cheers!
that's -60dB, no?

like the reduction from gunshot (140dB) to alarm clock (80dB)... or jet plane take-off (120dB) to normal conversation (60dB).

Depending on the actual, absolute values, one-millionth can therefore be still annoying — especially if it is pervasive and omnipresent.
That's not true yet. The MoE of GPT-4 is not in open models is it? OpenAI has done extensive RLHF.

If you compare the code generation ability of GPT-4 with Falcon 140B, it is clear that all of their efforts are still paying off. There is still a gap in efficiency and performance.

I mean, the gap has definitely narrowed though. And I think it's true that they will have trouble recovering all of the billions. But at least some of it has been paid back already.

The relevant outgroups animating Afrikaner nationalism aren't the Zulu (or Xhosa, or Tswana, etc.) as a whole, but rather the rapidly growing black working class on the one hand, and English-speaking elites on the other. Of course Afrikaner society was and had long between hideously racist, but so was the British colonial government. It was the perceived "threat" of racial integration (and the attendant economic competition) driven by English liberals that made race the primary focus of Afrikaner politics.

Of course if you mean smaller differences that weren't in part ultimately caused by proximity, there aren't any, but that's almost tautological.

This is how it always goes. JQuery was a response to browsers having poor standardization. Then it became a larger and larger ecosystem, and the code owners started getting megalomaniacal (I'm sorry, "live" is deprecated, please us the function "on" which does the exact same thing, we just liked the name better, thank you for complying). It became an ecosystem. Every 3rd party library was designed to integrate with JQuery. Soon there was JQuery UI, a UI library for adding modal dialogs and tooltips.

And then someone realized that browsers had long since reached standards parity, and javascript engines were getting really fast, and re-rendering the DOM was GPU-accelerated, and we just needed a simple little library. And Angular and React were born (and Ember but we don't speak of satan in this house).

React feels like it's following the exact same trajectory. It was created out of necessity, it was the best framework for a given point in time, but it's being stretched to handle the changing landscape, and it's feeling very kludgey. I expect that soon, very soon, someone will release the new paradigm. Probably just as soon as WASM is able to manipulate the DOM without JS hacks, which has been on the roadmap since before there was a road.
This quote from Dave Clark definitely stands out - "Founders have a right to change their mind". Interesting that he's leaving I would have thought his expertise would still be immensely useful.
Did anyone ever actually cut their police budget? I was under the impression that the problems in SF were a combination of the police having their feelings hurt (and therefore refusing to do their jobs), and prosecutors refusing to actually prosecute anyone.
> There is zero functionality that has been removed from class-based components.

No, but the React ecosystem has almost collectively migrated away from class-based components or deprecated support for them.

> Devs use hooks primarily because hooks are better.

You avoid much of the dependency array issues by using class components. But you have to deal with `this` and it's significantly more keystrokes. It's more of a tradeoff in my opinion.
Alright, cool, FEELING attacked is valid of course. But then, if it's factually wrong - if in this case gay people aren't causing them personal harm, just objections to their personal convictions - who has to change?

The best analysts/managers in the world are pulling consistent 30-50% returns over the past 20-30 years. See Citadel hedge fund for example (and not the HFT Citadel Securities).

The problem is, these “profits” are taken by the analysts and managers by way of incentive and performance fees, thus leaving the passive investor/LP with barely break-even risk adjusted returns.
I've been using React and writing it professionally since early days before they even supported using ES6 classes. I have also answered questions for years on one of Reacts largest discord communities.

Hooks were nice when they came out, but woefully under-documented. The fact that decent docs for hooks first development came out literally just this year when hooks have been out for years is kind of a shame.

As opposed to useEffect, most other hooks are fairly straightforward, but the fact it years of articles upon articles of mistakes and documentation to explain useEffect to both experienced and non-experienced devs alike shows that it really wasn't that great of an API for end users.

In fact the most common topic nowadays is how much you need to avoid useEffect, especially if you're not a library developer. None of this was documented/mentioned when it first came out.

Yes it does enable powerful workflows, but plenty of other frameworks/libraries handle the same thing in a nice way with much less drawbacks than react. (ex: automatic dependency tracking, etc)

The number of times I have to tell people to stop putting things in effects at all, or that the reason something isn't working is a stale callback due to missing dependencies in my opinion shows that its not really a good API for the average dev to be using.
The problem is that this will turn into another one of those high profile search and rescue operations like the Titanic submersible. The Coast Guard is going to have to spend weeks looking for this dude’s debris under constant mass media scrutiny, wasting untold amounts of taxpayer dollars.

In retrospect my biggest obstacle in school was, nobody ever really taught me how to improve, and so I was never good enough to enjoy myself.

The dominant culture focused on the value of grit and perseverance through suffering. I bought into it, and learned how to suffer, but your capacity for suffering is always limited. As a result, I would start to deplete my capacity and lose drive to practice before I got to see much in the way of results.

Nobody taught me that you can slowly improve over months and years without having to dip into your capacity for suffering- and get better results.

The sad part is, because you can get results this way, it’s easy to get stuck in this way of thinking. “If I was just a little tougher, I could shave 5 minutes off my half marathon time.” This is how people wind up permanently damaging their bodies, as they focus on ignoring the pain instead of getting better.

- Zip might let you fit a bit more than a data uri

- Some JS APIs would work on a smolsite url, but wouldn't work in a data uri

It’s not science or logic that convinced the UK government, one of the most determined enemies of the Internet. It’s that Meta showed it will follow up on threats when it removed all links to news sites in Canada.

UK politicians love WhatsApp’s end to end encryption as it allows them to evade public records laws (as well as snooping by UK spooks who have not hesitated to wiretap British Prime Ministers like Harold Wilson). Boris Johnson’s extensive use of WhatsApp specifically was in the news during the Covid inquiry.

It’s perfectly OK for the proles to lose encryption, but not for politicians.
