Nobody can look down on you unless you do that to yourself first. People here are just random strangers on the Internet, and what we think about you shouldn't be relevant to what you're actually worth.

You choose the people to compare yourself with. There's really no point in choosing a group to compare yourself with if it makes you feel sad and inferior.

Maybe you're in a bad spot now (judging from your username) but don't let money and "career achievements" determine your worth. In the end, very very few people, even in tech, are able to accomplish actually meaningful things beyond getting a paycheck and feeding their families. (I mean, for example, would I want to be Mark Zuckerberg? Probably not, being responsible for creating a mostly toxic social network isn't necessarily something to be proud of as my legacy.)

You probably need to reorient yourself, trust that your value doesn't just come from the number in your paycheck or how high you climb the corporate ladder, and figure out your own reason for getting out of bed every morning.

I mean, I know it's easier said than done, but I can only say what I can say here. Good luck.
To be precise it is 30% revenue.

Ah, of course. I always feel a bit stupid when I read assertions like "Henry Ford could run a socialistic enterprise" as though that weren't a contradiction in terms. The man was violently anti-worker.

He publicly opposed the New Deal as a “socialist scheme” and refused to cooperate with its programs, eg the Social Security Act.

He hired thugs and spies to prevent unionization and in 1937, at his “Battle of the Overpass”, Ford service members beat UAW officials and union supporters who were trying to distribute flyers at the plant. Hardly a "socialistic" undertaking.

His Americanism, was based on individualism, nationalism, nativism, and Protestantism, precepts anathema, certainly, to the "internationalism" prevalent among his socialist contemporaries.

All in all, I highly doubt the guy could tie his shoes in a socialistic fashion, let alone "run" a commune.
As long as the Air Farce runs CAS, instead of the army, they will continue to attempt to kill any mission that doesn't involve winning wars through the holy doctrine of Air Power (ie incinerating as many civilians as possible).
What this actually shows is that Linux users are more technically proficient and more likely to put in the effort to file a bug report when they encounter a problem.

It doesn't directly figure into the reporting rate, but Linux users also file better bug reports, likely due to the communal education and technical support that is so central to contemporary, personal Linux usage. Any newbie asking questions on a Linux forum, IRC, Matrix, or Discourse is bound to learn strong norms about including diagnostic info and other context in issue reports, as well as what asking useful questions looks like.

Linux users end up helping to identify a hugely disproportionate number of the bugs that affect Windows users because of this.

Past HN discussion of another indie dev's experience with this can be found here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28978086

This might be bad for you if your company over relies on metrics about the number of reported or open bugs in an unhelpful way. But in itself it's a decidedly good thing for your software quality and the experience of your users to include Linux users in your user community.
It’s risky to make definitive claims about what is or isn’t a possible security vector, but based on my years of training GPTs, you’d find it very difficult for a number of reasons.

Firstly, the malicious data needs to form a significant portion of the data. Given that training data is on the order of terabytes, this alone makes it unlikely you’ll be able to poison the dataset.

Unless the entire training dataset was also stored in this 38TB, you’ll only be able to fine tune the model, and fine tuning tends to destroy model quality (or else fine tuning would be the default case for foundation models — you’d train it, fine tune it to make it “even better” somehow, then release it. But we don’t, because it makes the model less general by definition).

Well, for starters don't call them studies, call them "hunches" or "intuitions" or whatever you like to indicate that there is actually no real evidence to prove your thesis.

Occam's razor tells us to believe that it's much more plausible that psychologist publish massaged data to keep getting funded, than because it's actually very hard to admit that "we don't know for sure, this study proves nothing".

Have you ever heard of my fellow Italian professor Francesca Gino?
Also, it's not clear why we should accept that the brain would develop with locked-in "old strata" to a degree that we do not see in all sorts of other organs and systems.

> But for every one of those there's a cyber truck, a "self driving mode," etc.

Cybertruck is entering mass production soon. Yes, it's late, but it's coming.

Same for self driving. It is clearly getting better all the time, and it's coming.

Again, he is often late delivering on very difficult and ambitious things. Have a look how the competition are doing with re-usable rockets, mass producing electric vehicles, self driving, etc.

None of these things are easy, and they take time.

>> If you have malware running with your user permissions, your entire browser can be swapped out with a hacked version that keylogs you.

That's not true either. The malware would require privilege escalation to co-opt my browser. Even if you weren't wrong about that, I don't know why you complain about both weak security models AND a very big improvement in Linux security (Wayland).

Oh right, on X the malware could just wait for me to type in my password for something I wanted to do and grab it. then it could sudo just like me.

The difference is that no one shares data in a statically typed language by sending over dlls or .class files. The entire point is that something so dangerous has been normalized because of dynamic typing.

Every time there's a new tool, it's worth considering if it locks in previous choices. E.g. ArgoCD means I can't move off Kubernetes. Will Kargo mean I can't move off ArgoCD or Kubernetes?

> the topic of TFRs/NOTAMs annoys me to no end even when just flying a drone. Tons of junk, hard to parse and keep track of

Like many unusual situations there are usually at least two things that need to happen to cause the scenario I described:

1) Ignorance to TFRs/NOTAMS (Notice to Airman for those unfamiliar).

2) Loss of communication with the correct air traffic control.

When air traffic control notices these people violate airspace they always try to reach them via radio. In the event they're reachable it's "we have a phone number for you". When they go silent it's send up some fighters AND "here's a phone number for you".

> Most of GA is low altitude anyway so in reach of cellphone towers.

This is frowned upon. When airlines ask you to turn off your cell phones it is for two real reasons:

1) Pay attention to the safety briefing (no one does anyway, and no one turns their cell phones off).

2) The request of cell carriers. From what I understand cellular devices at altitude with significantly better line of sight are somewhat problematic to the towers as devices are able to attempt connection/association to many more than they usually would. Apparently combined with the faster speed the carriers don't appreciate this. Of course they deal with it with all kinds of means in terms of directional antennas, etc but like I said I've heard it's an issue.

I point out #2 because there's likely little industry support for the approach you describe. Additionally, you add an additional safety issue because users (pilots) will learn to depend on them and the variability of cell connectivity at altitude, weather, speed, geography, etc is uncertain. Aviation doesn't like that.
The already cheap cost of distributing data gets cheaper by the day. For an entity like Apple, with its vast economies of scale, distribution costs are negligible.

> I'm not certain I understand how double free is memory unsafe (in the sense of "causing vulnerabilities")

Perhaps there are some allocators where doing that hits UB. UB in memory allocation is probably always a memory safety issue. I would say if your code accepts any allocators where double-free could be UB then you've got a safety issue.
It's not a retail store. The App Store does not purchase, hold, and resell inventory from wholesalers. These are necessary functions to be considered retail.
That's a great point I hadn't considered; thanks!

I'm getting better at not eating "just because" or based on what time of day it is or that I won't be able to eat for a few hours (trying out fasting a few times helped me be okay with going without- I'm not going to die that easily. Probably has roots in a stressful childhood where eating was an escape from family strife). Sugary foods are so easy to eat and a difficult treadmill to dismount. So far it's like a local maximum that's still too easy to roll off of but it feels so good up there when it all comes together.

> "Every one I've seen includes "celery salt" which is just nitrates with a different name."

This is not allowed under EU and UK rules. You can't just add natural nitrites (like celery juice extract) and call it nitrite-free.

Here's the ingredients list for a popular brand of nitrite-free bacon in the UK:
https://finnebrogue.com/products/naked-smoked-streaky-bacon-...

They explicitly state that they do not add any nitrites in any form: "We do not use any nitrites, whether from traditional sodium nitrite or nitrites derived from vegetable extracts like celery juice."

Having children is definitely going to be another "tragedy of commons". At an individual level, one has to sacrifice a lot in terms of time, money and effort to raise children. Some people love that (myself included), some people would love to do that but do not have resources for whatever reasons (student loans, crazy work culture, expensive housing etc). But a lot of people simply don't want to have children and all the costs associated with raising them.

And that "selfish" attitude worked over the past 2-3 generations - why go through the hassle of raising kids when the government will anyway provide you pension and assistance when you get old? The costs of kids are privately born but the benefits are socialized in terms of taxes and welfare programs. And now you are looking at South Korea with a 0.7 TFR, with other nations not far behind.

It will be interesting to see how South Korea and Japan deal with it. A range of outcomes are possible - a "Ship of Theseus" scenario with these cultures getting slowly replaced by immigrants, awesome future based on awesome robots, dystopian future based on overhyped AI tech, complete collapse of social programs as the young refuse to care for the previous generations who either preferred partying or were worked to bone by their corporate culture, or a soft landing where the society actually get its act together.
If you had a ton of incredibly smart people working on the project, a ton of secured funding and a track record of actually delivering things that are incredibly complicated and ground breaking, then some people would choose to believe you, and they might even invest in you.

Of course, there will always be people that don't, and that's perfectly fine too.

You could, but usually that causes lower performance. When building an airframe, a gram not needed is a gram wasted. In fighters it's far less stringent than spacecraft - for those, even a screw one turn longer than needed is something to avoid.
The main geopolitical lesson from Red Alert: Build more Tesla Coils.
Well usually it is pilots responsibility to try to aim it in safe direction as much as possible and only then eject. Basically like captain on the ship you don't eject but you are last one to leave the ship after you made what is possible to save others from harm (unless they are of course hostile forces).

I think quite some pilots died this way because they were trying to the last second to save other lives.

If plane is that much out of control that you cannot do much, adding some code to try to do something might make things actually worse from my perspective.

Any hardware router introduced in the last two decades has IPv6 support; in my somewhat outdated experience the barrier to implementation is implementing dual-stack logic in software built for single stack.
The word emulating has a very specific meaning when playing a video game on one platform that was designed for another. If you are using the word emulating to mean something close to the word "mimic" or "imitate" then you are correct, but the word emulation shouldn't be used to describe proton because it is not an emulator in the way most gamers will understand. This point is specifically drilled into the Proton history. Proton is a fork of the Wine project. In 1993 (!) it was declared Wine is Not An Emulator. Recursive naming is an open source tradition.

Aside from being an incorrect use of jargon, it hurts the project. Emulators have a reputation of not being able to handle the latest games. Proton is very good at playing many modern games. It plays some games better than Windows natively on the same hardware.
If you're a large company that's actually serious about security, you'll have a Red Team that is intimately familiar with your tech stacks, procedures, business model, etc. This team will be far better at emulating motivated attackers (as well as providing bespoke mitigation advice, vetting and testing solutions, etc.).

Unfortunately, compliance/customer requirements often stipulate having penetration tests performed by third parties. So for business reasons, these same companies, will also hire low-quality pen-tests from "check-box pen-test" firms.

So when you see that $10K "complete pen-test" being advertised as being used by [INSERT BIG SERIOUS NAME HERE], good chance this is why.

30% is not exorbitant when comparing to say, Walmart, who purchase products wholesale for up to 50% less then retail pricing (depending on the product category).

In fact, when 30% was announced, it was considered generous compared to what developers were paying Best Buy, CompUSA, mobile carriers, etc before that.
I'm not trying to say anything in particular other than drawing conclusions by making comparisons the US from 100-200 years ago to China today isn't very relevant and therefore is not very useful.

My original comment that started this whole thread is similar. I'm not trying to communicate any kind of opinion on it. It's just an observation of things I've personally seen happen in the world. Others are putting their own opinions on if it's right or wrong. I'm not trying to say any of that, just share my honest observations on the world.
In America it's even worse because they say "What's up?" in the same way we Brits say "Alright?", but "What's up?" to me like the person has detected something wrong with you and wants to know what the problem is. At least "Alright?" is more generally asking for your status.

Of course, both are generally rhetorical, which must be confusing for some foreigners learning English, especially with the correct response to "Alright?" being "Alright?" and similarly with "What's up?".

I haven't done much PC gaming lately, but I ran NixOS on the living room gaming and emulation PC for years, and it likewise worked well for me.

It's probably not a use case people think of when they think of NixOS, but it's popular with users and contributors nonetheless, and thus also fairly well-supported.

It's also generally a nice way to cope with proprietary NVIDIA drivers (although the new open-source ones are already available in Nixpkgs as well!).
