Why doesnt Katie explain that better education is needed, teaching kids how to recognise and avoid situations in the home, in public and online?

Keeping someone innocent and protected from the realities of life, can set them up for a lifetime of mental health problems caused by historical exploitation in a variety of ways, that will haunt them for the rest of their life.

If education is not the best way, what is?

With VFIO, there is increasingly little need for writing in-kernel device drivers. You can do everything in userspace with better DX and without having to deal with kernel API breakage.

If you want to try out VFIO, you could try writing a userspace program that interfaces with some simple PCI device, like a serial card.

Appendix A is a thoughtful checklist for anyone doing benchmarks:

• Choosing your Benchmarks.
□ Benchmark covers whole evaluation space
□ Justify picking benchmark subset
□ Benchmark stresses functionality in the evaluation space

• Reproducible. Available shall be:
□ Hardware configuration
□ DBMS parameters and version
□ Source code or binary files
□ Data, schema & queries

• Optimization.
□ Compilation flags
□ System parameters

• Apples vs Apples.
□ Similar functionality
□ Equivalent workload

• Comparable tuning.
□ Different data
□ Various workloads

• Cold/warm/hot runs.
□ Differentiate between cold and hot runs
□ Cold runs: Flush OS and CPU caches
□ Hot runs: Ignore initial runs

• Preprocessing.
□ Ensure preprocessing is the same between systems
□ Be aware of automatic index creation

• Ensure correctness.
□ Verify results
□ Test different data sets
□ Corner cases work

• Collecting Results.
□ Do several runs to reduce interference
□ Check standard deviation for multiple runs
□ Report robust metrics (e.g., median and confidence intervals)
Correct. Now you can maybe read up on those things I mentioned and understand why you are still failing to make H1B even remotely look like actual modern slavery. (Spoiler alert: it might have something to do with pitting "uprooting life" & "no friends" against "no option to leave", "life in confinement" and "work till death")
This was a plotline on HBO's "Succession."
I read the whole thing, wondered how any of this could be possible, and then realized "oh, this is about that stupid expensive monthly service thing I don't use." Neither of my Subaru's is transmitting anything to anywhere. They're just GPS (and FM radio) receivers.

I mean, yes, the terms are insane, but I'd also never agree to a silly monthly subscription Internet/entertainment/whatever thing from a car company. I'd never even pay for Sirius.
What are we calling what used to be called FAANG these days?
I am posting this for several reasons.

1. I don't like the original acronym as it leaves out Microsoft.

2. Google renamed to Alphabet and Facebook renamed to Meta since then.

3. I don't know if N stands for Nvidia or Netflix.

What do we have now? Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Nvidia? Is it MMAAANN? or MAANMAN? What is it?
… we used to use a lot of MicroHard modems, which were Canadian made. Something tells me they were UBlox but I can’t find any solid reference to it.
They are not really free when renting contracts would leave them bankrupt and they'd have nowhere to go.

It's a very exploitative situation with extra steps where there's little they can do to protect themselves once in the country.

They can just endure until they're out of it.
Yes low paid.

I get paid more than every H1B I know who is a level above me in my role.
What is likely is that the wheels of censorship will do what they always do and censor that other group. Nobody is immune to censorship for long.

Hopefully that will cause enough ruckus that we go back to being anti-censorship.

Censorship isn't just impacting one group - it's a whole bunch of smaller subgroups that make up both parties. It also hurts the uncensored groups because instead of responding to their opponents they are now just shadowboxing themselves in a corner.
there are many kinds of code, with many kinds of lifecycles.. this comment is too vague to be useful
Correct.

I believe forms of “ma” and “pa”/“ba” are almost universal for mother and father.
Nickel as used in coins and industrial coating would be different from 50kg going into each Tesla battery. I don't think people throughout history have owned that much nickel.
How do you balance the free speech of the platform operator relative to the free speech of the members of the platform? There is some zero sum free speech here. If you require platform operators to include all of their member's speech, you are violating the operators speech.
I'm confused how all of this doesn't violate the GDRP in the EU? I'm not an expert, but at face value I'd assume none of this is allowed by the GDRP, unless they found a loophole or no one was aware of it.
> inferences they can draw about things like your "characteristics, predispositions, behavior, or attitudes."

Presumably this includes GPS data, so they know if you frequent Starbucks or McDonald's. And sell your data appropriately.
“Firstly, you are contributing less to the economy by not supporting local restaurants, sandwich bars and coffee houses in the vicinity of the office and spending less on transport. This means you are of less economic “value”, which may sound brutal but it is a fact.”

What does this have to do with how much someone should be paid by an unrelated company? I’m still going to be buying food from wherever I’m working, regardless of it being near the office or not.

This whole article seems to have been written from the viewpoint of CEOs (which isn’t surprising, given the newspaper).
Not relevant to the article being discussed.
Even cynically, can it be considered delusion? If someone does manage to convince themselves internally that they're having fun, there's no way to externally make that statement false: they really did have fun

For me, I have 2 phones: the one with all the google software removed, in which uber and lyft wont work.
The phone which has all the google software: lyft works, uber wont.
Same experience with uber error reporting as you said. They dont exist.
Message received loud and clear though, I'll just use taxis first and lyft second and uber never.
This dovetails beautifully with today's parallel thread on automakers collecting and selling personal information from their customers (and customers' passengers).
most executives need to a) look good while talking to the mass, but in fact b) steer by the wants and needs of other executives IMHO
"while constantly congregating themselves" you meant a different word here but I can't for the life of me figure out which one
For what it's worth, I appreciate the rules. The experience is much better for me! But I don't typically submit articles, so I'm never impacted by the manual effort.
Trump didn't try to "end" the program. His administration straight up wanted to close the borders to interns, skilled workers, and their relatives. That goes far beyond H-1B visas.

> All these sob stories about why we need cheap, exploitable labor to undercut American workers.

This is not how the H-1B program works.

Also, they didn't try to stop agricultural workers from entering the US. If you really want to focus on "cheap labor", you may want to start there.
Indeed. Apparently even Powerpoint started out there. From Wikipedia: “The first PowerPoint version (Macintosh 1987) was used to produce overhead transparencies, the second (Macintosh 1988, Windows 1990) could also produce color 35 mm slides.”

Apple invested in the company (Forethought, Inc) before Microsoft aquired it in 1987.

How do you know that? There's a 5G modem.
I don’t see an issue with this. I had a very technical CTO at my n-2 job who was in his 50s and would often write POCs himself in C# or Python as research.

When he wanted to see if data that we got had the information we needed he would upload it to S3 and run some Athena queries.

But I still know when he asks me some questions he just wants a very high level overview and doesn’t want the details. I’m working with him now on a side contract.

He now has graduated to using Athena, AWS glue with Python and Quicksite reports. He does that when he is “tired of dealing with product managers and all of this scrum shit”.
I saw in person. It wasn’t in the city city though, was in one of the suburban malls.
Yes, obviously on some level they want it, but they didn't start focusing on it until they were forced to, so obviously on some level they also didn't want it.
They were often just typed/handwritten and copied onto transparencies for internal/academic stuff. It was also pretty common to use HP pen plotters for quite a while when I was working in the late 80s/90s.

We had 35mm slides for customers but that was frequently an exercise in: "Here's our roadmap but this has changed and this isn't correct" because it took effort and time to get changes made once the slide was created.
I know you're joking but some people actually think that way and it's so disgusting.

As a former homemaker, I generally find it offensive that "work" means paid work and "women's work" is routinely implicitly devalued as not really work.

But you do you. We all have our bugaboos.
I'll grant that, but that still doesn't excuse OP making it sound like this UX issue is about freedom of expression. I'd readily believe that Instagram's UX is bad for screen readers.

I've come to the conclusion (after trying kops, kubespray, kubeadm, kubeone, GKE, EKS) that if you're looking for < 100 node cluster, docker swarm should suffice. Easier to setup, maintain and upgrade.

Docker swarm is to Kubernetes what SQLite is to PostgreSQL. To some extent.
> There is no real downside to this change for anybody in US society.

Well, the downside is for the companies exploiting migrants and those are the ones donating money to the people who make decisions. Lobbying is legally bribing them and the effect is that the politicians don't represent the people who vote for them but the corporations.

And No, this is not a cynical take but a factual one.
By exactly the same argument, OP's "coordinated war against freedom of expression online" is also "just normal democracy."

After GA4's launch, where did you pivot for traffic analytics?
Agreed, I'm Indian and thus often it is the case that other Indians try to speak with me in Hindi, but I end up having to insist on English in certain contexts.

It's unnecessarily rude and exclusionary towards others to speak a language others cannot understand in an environment where they have an interest in participating. All it does is form cliques and encourages toxic dynamics to form.

But on the other hand, I previously encountered the opinion that people who insist on speaking in English (especially without the "quirks" and accent of Indian English) despite being able to do Hindi are just trying to be pretentious.
Why? Loads of food containers are made of PP. Is it the age rather than the material that puts you off?

I assume not porousness, since by far the largest pores regardless of material will be the brick joints.
$25k is close to what international students in the US get paid on average. Postdoctoral fellows get $50k on average. All of them get by, many with families.
Okay, then for once I'd like someone says conservatives talk in dog whistles, to also come alongside and support removing the overtly vile things, and find common ground where there is common ground. But I don't see that. Those vile books are in elementary schools because someone put them there, and they aren't removed quickly because people continue to appear to want them there. Why?
>foxconn suicides

>horrible conditions in manufacturing sector

Does the chinese government not have a say in this? This is like saying the consumers of US cotton before 1860s were responsible for slavery in the US. Consumers & companies are complicit, but the Chinese government is surely the primary author of the policies that permit the horrible conditions in those factories.

Introduction to CORS for Go Programmers
This article is a nothingburger.

These companies laid off a bunch of people. Some of whom were H1Bs. And they’re hiring a bunch of people. Some of whom are H1Bs.

That’s simply a commentary on large companies hiring even after doing layoffs which is pretty standard.
You can get well-defined behavior at 0 cost (for x86-64 and ARM64, which covers most everything not very obscure/embedded) on both GCC and LLVM by explicitly adding a modulo operator:

uint32_t foo(uint32_t x, int s) {
return x << (s % 32);
}

foo(unsigned int, int):
shlx eax, edi, esi
ret
Strong reaction? I just pointed out facts. You’re replying to a thread about a comet that can be viewed with the naked eye. They don’t happen often, and this one in particular has a very specific viewing window. Suggesting to some one they can view it at any time they find convenient is not helpful in the slightest
How on earth do these HR companies that scrape LinkedIn and sell the data fall under GDPR? They claim to.
These companies have already found their H1B hire before they even craft the job description. The description will be carefully written to match exactly that candidate's specific expertise and experience, so they can easily decline all other candidates. Also look up a "bench and switch"[1] scheme where foreign hires are lined up in positions that don't even exist to form a defacto H1B staffing agency.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/executives-staffing-compa...
Where in the article does it justify "low paid"?? Given that H1B salaries and job titles are public, and so is levels.fyi, its trivially easy for the authors to be able to fact check this. Unless it's just a scare piece designed to feed into a narrative.

And then they managed to put the two indian FAANG CEOs in the picture, without even mentioning one of their companies? This is really junk journalism...
You can write a perfectly legible 4, 5, or 6 line version in C.
Oh please. I don't even drive. Ever. And a big part of that is not dealing with race driver wannabes.

I absolutely think 50 kph is a bit high for small inner city streets. There could be children, animals, old people. Shit happens. Driving slowly lowers the risk. Also, fuck car sound. I hate it. I hate pointless driving, which happens to be most of it anyway.

Based on your handle, I'd say you are from Serbia or Hrvatska. Or something like that. It's been almost 20 years since my last visit. Here in Bulgaria there is a massive contingent of extremely dangerous fucks with 20+ year old cars. The type with "blood type audi" and such. Fuck these people. They shouldn't be breathing, let alone driving and breeding
You're free to try and leave Dubai without a passport, but it's not consequence free.

I love when authortiarians use degrees of coercion to say "well technically YOU ARE free. But not free from consequences".

It's such a disingenuous line of argumentation.
That quote has a really big problem.

I run a couple of services that are accesible through an API built in Symfony (PHP), but the data is generated with software built with JS (event driven -> lambda, cloudflare workers), Python (depending on GDAL mostly) and also PHP.
And it's worse when it's an invasive species as the leaves are not getting thinned. It's certainly concerning to me to learn that eucalyptus has been actively exported, is now a shockingly common invasive species in some areas and odds seem good it is actively promoting wildfires.
You clearly don’t get it, you just made an unrelated argument. And ya, obviously if you don’t make a half million dollars you don’t have a good enough resume and don’t interview well enough to make that much. That’s tiny portion of jobs and not what anyone here is talking about. Truly a pointless, navel-gazing comment.
I am not joking. Countries are made to protect their citizens first.

Thanks for the information
How about this one ?
Well, it's a little more than that. They also look at private lists airlines maintain about unruly passengers.
"Nobody, not one Australian I know has ever said eucalyptus was a sensible export as live wood, or was suitable for planting like this in these countries. I can't work out who did think this was a good idea."

Well, I'd very definitely agree with that comment. I have firsthand experience of eucalyptus trees and bushfires and I find it truly perplexing why people in other countries would want to put their lives and property at risk by planting this dangerous invasive species that often grows faster and more robustly there than it does in Australia.

I grew up in a very fire-prone part of Australia in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales west of Sydney and I've lived through some of the most devastating fires. At the end I've posted a link to a YouTube video of a fire I was caught up in as a kid. It was many decades ago but I still have vivid memories of the event. It's impossible to forget witnessing over a hundred homes and businesses burn down as the fire raged through the township.

Unless one's been caught up in a raging bushfire it's almost impossible to visualize what it's really like, especially one involving eucalyptus trees, the roaring noise is almost deafening and suddenly trees just explode when the eucalypt oil ignites. It can be very frightening.

Luckily, my parents' home wasn't in the path of the fire it being several kilometers away but I saw the aftermath and I helped out with bringing bedding and provisions to the poor souls who'd lost their homes and possessions—many had lost everything. It was a truly pitiful sight to see so many people crammed into the town hall floor space of the next town with hardly a footstep between them.

The video is quite long, about 30 min, and of course it's a revisited historical video so the camera footage isn't a vivid as one expects nowadays. Nevertheless, it depicts the human loss very well indeed. When I first saw the video some years back I could feel myself reliving the event, it was quite uncanny and unsettling. Incidentally, in the video one gets a quick glimpse of that town hall where the victims were temporarily rehoused.

From images of recent fires across the globe that have involved eucalyptus trees, it seems to me we ought to be severely limiting these foreign plantings. I recall years ago, when I first went to California and saw that the eucalyptus trees grew better there that in many parts of Australia I was horrified. From my experience it was clear to me what was going to happen there.

An even more interesting question is: which version will actually entice millions of independed and variably motivated actors from all walks of life to commit and invest to a particular ecosystem. Technnical and usability aspects play only a minor role in technology adoption. In particular the best technology doesnt always win.

My humble two pennies is that Julia is missing the influencer factor: being endorsed by widely known entities that will attract the attention of both corporate eyes and the hordes of developers constantly looking for the next big thing.

Your money might be on Julia but $100mln was just placed on the Mojo/Modular bet...
It's not the governments job to decide what speech is "correct" in the US at least under the current judicial regimes interpretation of the laws. There are some very narrow exceptions but this is not one of those.

That people honestly think this is a bad thing is depressing. The government simply cannot be trusted in the wider picture to make these decisions about good vs bad speech.

People who go to Dubai and end up in what people call slavery also "sign contracts" and go there "voluntarily".

They're exploited nonetheless.

Your entire comment defending exploitation is and insult to anyone alive.

Disgusting semantics game to defend what the US and other countries do with migrants. You're trying to shame people when you're the one who should feel ashamed.
Apparently, RustConf withdrew an offer to let someone give a talk. So ragequit I guess? This isn't an airport, you don't need to announce your departure.
ABS can be food safe, but there is more to food safety than the type of plastic used. And I don't think Lego is food safe, it is certainly not advertised as such.

An important consideration when it comes to food safety is that your it doesn't become a breeding ground for bacteria. That's why FDM 3D prints are usually not food safe no matter what they are made off. For your Lego lunchbox, assuming the bricks themselves were food safe, you would probably need to regularly take the box apart and wash each brick individually.

That being said it probably won't kill you, but don't expect Lego or anyone in a position of authority to tell you that's fine.

Lots of questionable design choices here.

- Why not all JS or all Python?
- Why is the Playwright code scrolling?
- Why is the Playwright code using explicit timeouts?
- Why is the Playwright code using `evaluate` rather than `locators` and `click`?
