> Companies like Intuit have lobbied an industry into existence

Did they lobby an industry into existence, or did they beat the government at providing value to their own esoteric system by 15 or more years, and then lobby to keep their standing? I don't doubt the company is awful, but they're as popular as they are for more reasons than lobbying. At the time, they made one of the worst annual experiences fairly pain free.

I never understood the idea that the government ought to write their own e-filing software when others already exist, and quite affordably so; I usually get free tax filing from some TurboTax competitor (last year it was CashApp).
Honest question: why? I'm not really interested in portable scripts, usually I just want to get a job done as fast as possible and move on (for serious automation I prefer Python, shell is for more interactive use for me). Is there any upside to sticking to busybox commands in this case?
As terrible as that war was, I really don't think that compares to the changes that occurred post 1999, the freedoms that were lost, nor the casualties that are a direct responsibility of Putin.
A bit OT but what is Julia's adoption rate nowadays ? I know there are people who thinks it's the best, others thinks it's not going to cut it, but well.. In your experience ? (my experience is: a little too slow to load, type hierarchies lead to unbearable error messages sometimes but looks like a serious attempt to replace whatever language in the math/physics/stats/... space)
You need to `block_on` only if you need to block on async code. But you don't need to block on order to run async code. You can spawn async code without blocking just fine and there is no risk of deadlocks.
That one part is nothing new. That does not mean the specific mechanisms of what to do to take advantage of this for Ruby isn't of interest to Ruby developers, who are the main audience for this given it's posted on the blog for Shopify's Ruby/Rails team.

This is great, and I'm glad for the PHP developers out there. But if I go job hunting, it's not PHP skills that offer the highest earning potential. At least not that I've encountered.

How much revenue generation occurs on PHP? I'll cede the argument about the e-commerce platforms and CRMs, but I'm just not convinced that PHP is where a budding developer should be focusing their efforts. You enter the business/corporate world and there are tons of applications out there running the world, not just websites. Those applications are predominantly written in languages like .NET, Java, JS/ECMAScript, Python, Rust, and Go. Also, among the managed languages like .NET/Java/JS the knowledge is quite transferrable and sometimes almost identically named.

I'm not trying to bash PHP as a language, but every time I see this argument it's the same. Evangelizing PHP also seems to come with a requirement to mention Wordpress, Wikipedia, and Facebook. I'm sure there's money to be made in PHP, and I'm sure it's a great language for the internet. But learning .NET or Java is likely to have a much larger window of opportunity. Also, if you have a specific industry you want to work in you should be looking at the language predominately sought after in that industry.

I think this is why a lot of developers bash PHP, it's not that it's a non-valid choice. It's that it has limited applicability. I would never advise someone to learn PHP as their first language.
Most of my experience is in customer-facing roles, and I would argue that reading a customer email chain where they try to describe what is happening, sometimes with pictures, requires level 4 understanding.

You often end up with multiple documents (several emails, pictures, logs). There's often competing information (customers are speculating about what's wrong, but they likely include lots of other information because they don't actually know). And you definitely need background knowledge about the product.

Add in translating that into a bug report for the engineering team? A successful high-level customer support agent needs level 5 reading ability.

But my experience asking questions of my teammates in the company Slack channels tells me very few of them are even actually at level 3.
I'm always amazed by how amazing the results are (compared to alternatives), even though it's 10+ year old software afaik.
It’s not one run: they are using BenchmarkTools that provides macro to compute exactly the kind of statistics that you expect.

One can say anything, but the Julia community takes performance and benchmarking really seriously.

Well, there's also a faction in the government who will protest against taxes by making paying them as painful as possible. It's not just lobbying by the companies which benefit from filling the gap deliberately produced by this.
From my own recollection, the construction

> An internal struct[...]

It sounds like you picked option 1 then, which means you don't need to take control of the sandbox. "Create an image that put arbitrary bytes into the buffer that stores its decoded form." simplifies to just "Create an image." There is no vulnerability here. This is just image display happening in a normal way. It's something to keep an eye on but not important itself. You have to add a vulnerability to get a vulnerability.

The original problem of preventing image decoding exploits has been solved in this hypothetical.
I am sure I'd do the same! I'd want to see it preserved... at first.

But it says they have "years more work" to finish the job. There's been people there, students too likely, digging forever now.

Poor guy. Did the right thing, now he has no back yard. Probably little peace. A gaggle of people always there. Maybe had to move.

I suspect the program you’re trying to crack would check that environment variable, refusing to run if it’s set.

This assumes there’s some copy protection on it.

Congratulations on being an exception to the "pretty high" odds, I guess. I'm glad people haven't been like that to you.

75 offers at 200k is 15 million for a year (and I doubt all were that high). This is a drop in the bucket for a company with that much cash. This action also severely damages their reputation: good luck hiring in tbe future, and good luck getting futute investors or business when you've given the impression the ship is sinking.
As the author also found out (but it's mentioned only later in the post), there is already a Linux system call emulator, "linuxemu", written by Russ Cox and Cinap Lenrek:

http://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Linux_emulation/index.html

It seems to be rather outdated by now (only supports 32-bit x86 and might be problematic with current binaries), but it's probably a less resource-intensive solution than integrating a VM. Of course, this depends on the kind of Linux applications you intend to run, emulating an X11 or Wayland environment probably won't make too much sense.
Don't follow any advice to use Apache as a reverse proxy, or bundle php with a classic web server.

There are real application servers using an event loop by now, most notably Roadrunner (https://roadrunner.dev), FrankenPHP (https://frankenphp.dev), Laravel Octane (https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/octane#introduction), Swoole Bridge for Symfony (https://github.com/insidestyles/swoole-bridge-bundle).

In general, you can do a lot with OpenSwoole or Roadrunner. They are vastly superior (in a container scenario) to any other suggestion in this thread!
> "the DeSantis government of Florida has mandated social media platforms disclose statistics about LGBT content on their platforms"

> content moderation policies and statistics

Can you explain how the law would require them to provide statistics on LGBT content? From the article, it seems like they'd only need to provide statistics on moderating LGBT content, which seems… OK? Also they'd need to publish their stance on LGBT content, which would be "we don't police it".

I posted the actual lawsuit on HN yesterday[1].

Reading this article, I was prepared to get mad that the arguments in the lawsuit aren't quoted, but the quotes by politicians in this article are almost as good:

> Gavin Newsom, California’s Democratic governor, signed the law last September, saying the state would not let social media be “weaponized” to spread hate and disinformation.

A clear admission that the purpose of the law is to pressure social media platforms to censor certain speech.

> Jesse Gabriel, an assembly member and author of the bill, said in a statement that “if Twitter has nothing to hide, then they should have no objection to this bill”.

"If the New York Times has nothing to hide, they should have no objection to publishing protocols of their editorial meetings."

Considering that the engine of Chrome and Firefox on iOS is exactly the same, what's in the UI of Firefox that makes it bad for you? And what in the UI of Chrome on iOS that makes it better than on any other OS?
> I think this is a great entrypoint into the static/dynamic argument and I'd love to argue with some people about it.

I don't think it is. You start from an irrational and unsubstantiated belief that ignores any of the basic usecases of shared libraries.

> I believe dynamic used to make sense but no longer does in the vast majority of cases.

It's your personal belief, and one that's unsubstantiated and os based on ignorance.

> Static binaries have their costs, but are so much easier to reason about.

That assertion is completely irrelevant, as it fails to address any of the usecases for shared libraries. Being able to run code, and other dubious claims of simplicity, don't even qualify as questioning the purpose of shared libraries.
How did it prove that?

Switzerland has it in a grey area. You certainly can't publish the videos on YouTube, but it could be examined by the police.

It's certainly a net positive on society to allow dashcams, since it resolves ambiguity around liability.
Rather than keep on restarting your Kotlin app, you should run it as a server, then you'd also benefit from JIT compilation.

Then it would serve requests at the same speed, if not faster, as your Go app.
It is a it like you would limit people from taking photos of your store. Is it possible? Because it sounds like fair use.
As an ex-PHP developer (almost 10 years now), I do not miss it. As a language, it is a scripting language with an okay interpreter. But as an eco-system, it is a hot mess. It has both the worst software developers (and I was one of them) as well as the worst clients (and the cheapest, regardless of geography).

It is not a surprise that PHP is running the web. That's because WordPress made sites/e-commerce accessible to the average Joe. Despite the massive security issues with these setups, it has enabled a large number of people to run businesses.

But if you are a software developer, I'd strongly advice you not to do PHP.
> The employer version of this is severance, not a notice period.

So I can assume that there will be contractual severance allowances in my employment contract?

Maybe, but not in the last several I've signed, with large and small companies.
From a quote in the article:

> X Corp. is being forced to adopt the State’s politically-charged terms

This is a universal problem around government reporting requirements. How many times have I been asked (indirectly by the government) to declare my "race" and not been presented with the obvious option of "human"?

So, X seems to have identified a sliver of controversy in what I think is otherwise an appropriate topic of public concern. The reason I think it's an appropriate topic is because Section 230 immunizes the supposed expressive content of X's editorial policy so ... X shouldn't have as free rein to run that program in secret according to unknown whims.

Tax payment is something which governments actually have a lot of incentive to get right, because it is how they get income. In countries which don't have a powerful political faction which doesn't believe the government should provide services to its citizens and sabotages attempts to do so, paying taxes is generally extremely smooth, requiring no actual effort at all from most citizens, not even filling in an online form.
Do companies even dare to breathe a word about how much overhead they will save as they downsize offices and infrastructure? They are offloading all those externalities onto individual workers now.

I pay rent and insurance on my apartment. I'm provided water, electric, A/C, and consumer-grade Internet service. I have a kitchen stocked with appliances, supplies, and food and drink. I have a workspace, a desk and furniture, and of course my essential BYOD devices. There's my bathroom facilities, toilet and sink, soap and paper out of pocket. I have upkeep and cleaning costs for all this (I actually hire maids to do a deep clean).

I should be sending my employer a goddamn bill for this every month. Pay me less. Crazy talk.

Nevertheless, there's a valid rationale for reducing WFH wages. It's the ultimate offshoring. Companies don't have to care about employees working in HCOL centers anymore, so they can pay us "Rural Kentucky Wages" or "Inner-City Mumbai Slum Wages" or "Haiti We've Got No Infrastructure Left Wages" and we'll thank them for it.
What's weird is that ONLY the headline is wrong. Each time it is referenced as "return-to-office" in the article itself. Curious.

> I think in the specific case of security issues, more bugs have been fixed by upgrading dynamic dependencies than introduced.

That's just your personal assertion, which is entirely baseless and unsubstantiated. It's ok to have beliefs, but instead of pushing them as truths you should at least start by doing some cursory research to see if they are even plausible. And yours isn't.
Moderation of online speech is speech; they're still casing the bank vault.
My intuition (which may be totally wrong of course) lets me think that those countries with the hightest adoption of BEVs will hit scaling issues in the next decade.

Scaling issues that will be a lot less serious with hydrogen powered FCEVs.
I think the idea is that things like that should be static constexpr. They have the same lexical scope but don't take up space on the stack.

Surely any competent optimiser will make them the same though.

C++ isn't C, though.
The correct wording however "return to office", even if we're smart enough to deduce the meaning from the dumb wording, and even if for historical reasons (work being outside the home predominantly) people just used the two terms interchangeably.

In the era of increased WFH (and during 2020-2021 even mandatory WFH) conflating the two terms is an anachronism - and in this case, it's also a subtle weasel wording to diminish WFH.
Any kind of toxicity (including microbial) has a potential to cause a cognitive decline. The reasons why it happens are complex, but it boils down to energy. All such diseases have a common trait: they cause disruption of ATP production at the cellular level, affecting mitochondria. Then comes a domino effect: without sufficient energy supply, cells start to degrade. At early stages, it mostly affects high-energy cells like those in the brain and the rest of nervous system. Then comes the liver and muscles (including heart). At the end stage, the effect may cause a multiorgan failure and even death.

A reason why diets affect this situation so much is two-fold. First, a diet affects microbiota, causing stagnation and proliferation of selected species. Second, the diet affects cells and its organelles, especially mitochondria. For example, some acquired mitochondrial damages can be reversed by a sufficient supply of vitamins and minerals in combination with the right balance of carbohydrates and fats in the diet.

It is worth to mention that one has to eliminate the initial disruption factor that caused the problem in the first place. Be it infection, poison, or something else. Otherwise, the chances of recovery are dim.

Which is based from "work" predominantly being done in offices and factories and such.

In the era of increasing "working from home" and working remotely from cafes and elsewhere, mixing the two is an anachronism that should stop. It also diminishes WFH.
> A more interesting question is which version is more elegant, ‘obvious’ and maintainable. (Deeply familiar with both, but money is on Julia).

Yes, more than raw speed, what impresses me is that the version of code in [1] is already a few times faster than the Mojo code - because that's pretty basic Julia code that anyone with a little Julia experience could write, and maintain easily.

The later versions with LoopVectorization require more specialized knowledge , and get into the "how can we tune this particular benchmark" territory for me (I don't know how to evaluate the Mojo code in this regard as yet, how 'obvious' it would be to an everyday Mojo developer). So [1] is a more impressive demonstration of how an average developer can write very performant code in Julia.

> Here's something you might not realize. The moment you sit in the passenger seat of a Subaru that uses connected services, you've consented to allow them to use -- and maybe even sell -- your personal information. According to their privacy policy, that means things like your name, location, "Audio recordings of Vehicle Occupants", and inferences they can draw about things like your "characteristics, predispositions, behavior, or attitudes." Call us bonkers, but we don't think that simply sitting in the passenger seat of someone's Subaru should mean you consent to having any of your personal information use for, well, pretty much anything at all. Let alone potentially sold to data brokers or shared with third party marketers so they can target you with ads about who knows what based on the the inferences they draw about you because you sat in the back seat of a Subaru in the mountains of Colorado. We're gonna really call out Subaru for this, because they lay it out so clearly in their privacy policy, but please know, Subaru isn't the only car company doing this sort of icky thing.

Am I reading this correctly? I could be a passenger in my friend's Subaru, or even in an Uber, and they claim they have a right to my personal data? Surely this isn't legal, there's no way they could claim to have consent for this...
