Supporting various hardware combinations is already hard enough. The fragmented software stack, constant userland breakage and hostility towards proprietary games, and a userbase of people who except software to be free make Linux not an attractive platform to port games to.
So SAS tokens are worse that some admin setting up "FileDownloaderAccount" and then sharing its password with multiple users or using the same for different applications?

I take SAS tokens with expiration over people setting up shared RBAC account and sharing password for it.

Yes people should do proper RBAC, but point a company and I will find dozens "shared" accounts. People don't care and don't mind. When beating them up with sticks does not solve the issue SAS tokens while still not perfect help quite a lot.

>>They're figuring out how to extend Wayland to something usable that supports screenshots. Anything that supports plain Wayland is going to be crippled by the protocol limitations, but anything implementing a selection of the extension protocols will be useful.

Dude please. Wayland has been 100 percent usable FOR ME for years. Plain Wayland is not "crippled" for MY use case. It may be crippled for YOUR use case, and that's a legitimate concern, but don't broad brush Wayland as not usable and crippled in general. For many of us it's already where it needs to be. That said, I do hope those remaining things get sorted out soon.

Marketing teams can sometimes miss the mark on this one. There's a misconception that improving billing is as simple as launching a new marketing campaign, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Billing is a multifaceted aspect of engineering and business operations, and those who solely focus on it often prioritize following industry trends over gaining a deep understanding of the economic intricacies within the company.

It's crucial to bridge this gap in comprehension for more effective decision-making and strategy alignment between the marketing and billing departments. By doing so, we can ensure that both teams are on the same page and working together seamlessly to drive the company's success.
If it's a secret sauce that is based on public information (aka not insider trading), then it's unlikely that no one else but this one company has discovered it. It's just extremely unlikely. Plus, plenty of "godlike investors" were clearly willing to do things that landed them in jail (SBF, Madoff, etc).

Hiring as an edge makes a lot more sense. Quant trading is often not about a single strategy but about the sum of many small ones. And other quants that have been taking similar hiring approaches also had incredible success (eg. Jane Street, Citadel, Jump Trading, Optiver, etc). RenTec just has a reputation of being "the best", which in turn makes the best people more likely to join them, which again in turn makes RenTec better, like a vicious cycle.

I also want to mention that in some years, there's a massive discrepancy between RenTec's internal Medallion fund (+76% in 2020), and its external funds (-19% to -31% in 2020). Not saying there is something to it (they never claimed using the same strategies), but it does seem at least a bit suspicious.

This is just such a dumb take, even the mafia bosses running the show don't believe that.

Let alone Ukraine not being in NATO at all.

In the US, there are programs where various federal agencies will pay for your education, and offer you a job on graduation. At a high level, the terms require you to repay the cost of education (prorated) if don’t work for that agent for a certain period of time.

I can see this working in Canada (or other states that want a boost in educated citizens). Subsidize education via forgivable loans, then forgive the loans if you work in-state. The main issue I see is that the US has a terrible history with loan forgiveness. You always hear stories of (eg) teachers who should get their loan forgiven being rejected for some paperwork issue or simply bank fraud.

I guess that I'm weird, then, because I genuinely have no envy of him.

I made my comment because it's quite common to see people dismiss criticisms of others based on "they're just envious", when in fact envy is rarely the reason for the criticisms.
My kids go to a school where the majority of the kids are somewhere around poverty level (easy to be under there in Silicon Valley if you are not an engineer in tech).

I absolutely believe the administrators when they say that the meals some of the kids get in school might be the only ones they get for the day (by far not the majority: those are hard working parents, dedicated to their kids). And watching how much hand-holding is needed for some of the families on the pre-school-year paperwork day (back to school night) I am fully convinced that the worst-off kids are likely to wind up without food if their receiving it depends on their parents filling out forms.

And I want to be clear that the kids I think might be on the edge are not (in most cases) there because of neglect. They are there because living here is more expensive than their parents can afford completely, despite working long hours. That is a condemnation of a society that mis-appropriates the wealth (like on Engineers like me).

Yes, it is a waste of money that my kids (kids of a Silicon Valley Engineer) get their food for free, but looking at the alternative (kids going hungry), is it really that much of a waste?
I’ve heard monoculture forests are worse for forest fires too.

Having dead decaying logs on the forest floor probably helps because fungi are naturally fire resistant.
Sqlite-based file formats are also very easy to debug, which saves a lot of dev time. After my app writes to a file and loading back doesn't work, I can just open it in Sqlite and inspect it in any way I wish because I have the full power of SQL at my fingertips.
But if you need to mutate such collection, you’ll end up writing a memory allocator (to handle removals, changes to larger variant, and to deal with fragmentation).
Apple Maps in rural America sucks hard in my experience.
Not to mention listing "Linux" as a supported platform is about as absurd as saying "Darwin" or "NT". Support Ubuntu LTS and SteamOS, and call it a day.
Hey, I just read through this paper. The phase ordering issues are currently based on heuristics. I noticed that you're only using the instruction count of LLVM as the measurement. However, this metric might not accurately reflect the program's actual performance and code size. LLVM has instructions like GEP that can translate into several lines of assembly code. Additionally, I suggest trying to run some large benchmarks like SPEC to demonstrate the performance benefits of using the LLM.

Rust async is stackless. While it's not as seamless as javascript yet, it too started with generators and janky promise libraries before - a decade later - support for it became ubiquitous.

Rust will undergo a similar journey where the compiler will continually make improvements to ease of use, arriving at a very elegant solution that's just as easy to use.

I think billing, taxes and entitlements are 3 different products, with obviously strong relationships. I would rather give the advice to rely on a third party tax tool that is connected to the billing engine instead of the "all in one" if taxes are too complex. Otherwise, just use the basic tax codes of Lago's billing engine

Killing the Empire of Japan's war machine through bombing the culture (which is actually what was occurring) into submission was in fact more than okay: it was necessary and moral.

They started massive wars of conquest across Asia (the likes of which are impossible to relate to for today's generations), butchered countless millions of people in the process, allied with Nazi Germany (!), committed even worse atrocities than the Nazis, and still refused to surrender even after being nuked once (with a large political & military contingent holding out even after the second nuke).

It required total war to stop them, and that obviously includes decimating their infrastructure, manufacturing, and the citizens that were responsible for manufacturing weapons (which had commonly been shifted out of large factories and dispersed into neighborhoods at smaller scale).
FWIW, "soundproofing" projects are notorious for requiring more care than one would think based on initial research.

It's a big topic, but the book "Home Recording Studio: Build It Like the Pros" by Rod Gervais is an excellent starting point.

TL;DR:

Lots of vendors will try to sell you a silver-bullet product, but no such product exists. The reality is you'll probably need to employ multiple techniques, specific to the workspace and your goals.

But if you have the freedom and money to modify your working space, it can be a really fun project. It turned me from a "Let me hire someone." guy into a "Let's redo your basement!" guy. I had a blast.

Also FYI: If you want to outsource this, be aware that your typical home-building contractor might not have the skills or incentives to do the project right. Typical contractors use construction methods optimized for speed and low cost. Soundproofing may require uncommon building methods, and a dedication to iterative measurements and improvements to address sources of unwanted sound.

I wonder if some of the "autopilot" functionality for military aircraft is to swan-dive into water/forest if everyone has already ejected.

If it's going to crash (and can't autoland, which it probably shouldn't attempt even if it could if something ejection-worthy happened), might as well obliterate the thing in a safe place.
Isn't the weight-loss "feature" of Ozempic a side-effect, and not the original primary target of the drug? I could (and very well probably am) be wrong here, but I thought it's original purpose was to moderate blood sugar levels, not cause the user to drop large amounts of weight quickly.

If so, I'm honestly not surprised at all. Magic bullets don't exist. If they do, they usually come with unforeseen side effects.

I think the concern is more about the theatre of most modern pen-testing rather than expecting deep bug-bounty work. I'm not a security expert either, but I've had to refute "security expert" consultations from pen-test companies, and the reports are absolutely asinine half the time and filled with so many false positives due to very weak signature matching that they're more or less useless and give a false sense of security.

For example, dealing with a "legal threat" situation with the product I work on because a client got hit by ransomware and they blame our product because "we just got a security assessment saying everything was fine, and your product is the only other thing on the servers" -- checked the report, basically it just runs some extremely basic port checks/windows config checks that haven't been relevant for years and didn't even apply to the Windows versions they had, and in the end the actual attack came from someone in their company opening a malicious email and having a .txt file with passwords.

I don't doubt there are proper security firms out there, but I rarely encounter them.
I know of a few companies that front-end their email with ProofPoint [1] but I have no idea how much it costs, probably a lot. It can quarantine anything suspicious. It also lets the admin know who clicked on what links in emails. It rewrites links to its own tracking endpoint It also doubles as a DLP Data Loss Prevention meaning it can be taught to look for organization specific data that should not be in email. It can also give you reports on who is receiving the most abusive emails meaning they may be targeted by attackers.

Is the games industry out of touch with open source?
Background: I've been a part of some Godot communities for a few years now, and we've seen a huge influx of people experimenting with Godot or switching to it altogether recently. It's as if game developers have only ever had eyes for proprietary engines.

Why is the games industry like this? Even enterprise software seems years ahead in terms of recognizing the potential and safety of open source software.

I'm mainly asking because I'm not in the games industry. My background happens to be cross-platform mobile for predominantly enterprise clients. So what's going on over there in the games industry? Are you folks alright?

Objectively speaking, there has been a huge surge of interest in Godot lately (Google trends, Discord sign-ups, etc). I imagine other engines are experiencing similar boosts, too. Since I host the grassroots community for C# and Godot developers (https://chickensoft.games if you like that kind of thing), I can personally tell from my site's analytics that it's got many thousands of hits over the last few days when it would usually only get around 10-50 per day, tops.

Your argument is that someone should have tried to predict what random numbers people who didn’t read the spec would choose, and reserve those? That seems…quixotic. Would you reserve other numbers in this scheme, like all
possible birthdays, just in case?

I would argue that if anyone had considered the possibility of people randomly choosing 1/8 addresses, the error was in reserving 1/8 in the first place. This only happened because there were no consequences to making up addresses.

BTW, 10/8 is private, and pretty easy to type.

You mean, like any uncontrolled weight loss with an unbalanced diet/vitamin deficiency?

Ozempic basically decreases appetite. That's its main weight loss mode of action.
I'm unclear on how SQLite (native format, no zip) is achieving sizes similar to XML + Zip. Are SQLite TEXT or BLOB fields compressed? Or are they assuming the caller is compressing BLOBs before writing?
I think this can still be thought of as a "nightmare" for some developers. The mindset may be that the developers don't want users reporting bugs. They'd rather the users passively tolerate the bugs. This way the developers don't need to put in the effort to fix them! These developers may prefer not to support Linux because they simply do not want to deal with sophisticated users.
