"Top Boy" qualifies as well in that respect (a new, and quite likely final, season has just been released). While not exactly as well-known as "Breaking Bad", it not only offers an insightful perspective on the drug trade itself but also on a specific London subculture.

Fundamentally, that show is about business and entrepreneurship. Sure, the industry might seem more than just a little shady and its methods often are ruthless, but basic business principles still apply (to quote one of the main characters: "Buy cheap, sell dear.").

I think the main problem is that Valve took away CS:GO from Mac players, without giving them a working replacement.
Yet to read the article :)

C# and Rust async models are based on top of state machines and cooperative yielding back to the executor. The difference between C# and Rust is a tradeoff of either the ability to just not think and use async/await naturally with really nice defaults but paying for those with heap allocations of state captured by continuations or dealing with the memory model explicitly which requires more effort but gives you fully configurable and/or deterministic behavior, that can (and usually does) achieve far lower overhead.

Java uses green (virtual) threads where the runtime can preempt (pause/suspend) them (keeping virtual thread stack in memory) and schedule the execution of a different green thread on top of the current physical one, not dissimilar to C#/Rust as they achieve so explicitly, where the next work item is executed by the threadpool once the current one yields.
This is clearly an overreaction. Cloud will be fine.
Microsoft should have done a clean room implementation of their cloud and used that to pivot their customers into more manageable technology for both parties.

That they've chosen to integrate it with all their legacy stack (which is one of the most complicated ones in existence) is understandable and what 99% of companies would have done but... it's a horrible experience using it. Maybe people with only Microsoft experience don't feel the pain anymore.
It's actually often cheaper[1], assuming you need a relatively fixed amount of compute and have the capital for upfront costs. Cloud gives you a lot of flexibility, but at a premium, and trades CAPEX for OPEX which is very appealing if you're a startup and don't know if you'll be around in a year.

This is like fast forwarding through an ad, but done automatically. I don't feel bad at all, some videos have 50%+ or more removed, and with some settings, you can remove also all the self-promotion, "like and subcribe" and other useless crap from the videos.

For upfront costs, it can be. But when your running its pretty smooth sailing.

Or is this the discussion of having a team of SysOps vs a team of Cloud Engineers?
This piece seems like it was written by someone writing strictly from American perspective without seeing what happens elsewhere.

Inflation in America is not, and was not anywhere in this post-Covid episode, worse than in any other developed nation except Japan, which has so many problems hardly anyone will want to use it as a point of reference.
U.S. economy is in better shape than almost any other advanced nation (and poor countries may be doing better but exactly because they are poor, they are playing technology catch-up, once they are caught up they have no avenues for quick growth and are stuck on Eastern European level). It is both currently richer, and grows faster, and is more stable, and provides more ways for an everyday, layman person to invest. Europeans don't buy stocks of European companies - because they know those companies are ridden with protectionist rules and omnipowerful unions - in all of which they actively, and cynically, participate - and will never give a good return. They buy American stocks.

America is virtually insulated from global warming because it's so big and diverse: some places may be wrecked but others will even win - no other nation is like that. It is virtually insulated from potential wars or invasions due to protection of the oceans. It is safe from any demographic issues because it has a guaranteed stream of immigrants with a lot more brains and money than any other country can hope attracting. It has an attitude to politics where people don't expect politicians to do much, apart from entertaining them, an expectation current generation of politicians fulfils brilliantly. Because there is no way America can be wrecked by politicians NOT doing something (as everything was built from the ground up with exactly that expectation - the government not doing anything), only threat comes from government actuallY DOING very wrong things - but American political system is built to very effectively prevent that.

All in all, comparing America to other rich places, it is evidently the best place to be for the rest of XXI century, at least as long as you have cash.
Will it directly get you a job? No, not unless it's some hugely popular / widely used software, with obvious potential uses in a business/enterprise.

Will it help? Yes, it's a nice differentiator on a resume, if it comes down to two candidates who seem to have equivalent experience and interview performance, the one with a bunch of git repos that demonstrate actual hands-on experience is likely to win.

This story has been widely under-reported and the impact is potentially huge. My beef with MS is this: the keys were leaked in 2021 and were still signing authentication tokens in 2023, but there's not a single Azure service that allows me to enter credentials with a 2 years duration. It's a classic case of "do as I say, not as I do".
As someone who runs Qubes on one of my laptops (the travel one) I can assure you that your long battery life days are over.
cedilla, from my very fist example I talked about cases where your solution, even if it existed, was completely useless and despite your best efforts to back up your counterpoints you still came up short. And you continued to carry water for a company despite now knowing that there are so many cases that consist of abusing intentionally arcane and archaic systems that create just enough friction to convince the person to drop it. Are telling us that a company which has been using ML (for some definition of that) since years to do predictive maintenance of their trains can't transition from a paper form in snail mail to digital scans and an email address?

Furthermore their mistakes are absolutely not punishable, as confirmed with a lawyer. When they repeatedly make a mistake in the assessment of those paper forms they don't get referred for prosecution despite each mistake costing the customer hundreds of EUR in unrecovered ticket expenses. So when they "mistakenly" assessed 3 times (!!!) that they don't need to give me back hundreds of EUR it can no longer be accidental. That's 10 times more money than an unpaid bus fine (and many, many times more than a few bus tickets) and not only do they do their best to wiggle out of meeting their legal obligation, they are also not pushed at the end of the process. Unlike the poor lady in the article who went to prison for riding the bus without a ticket (10-15EUR in total!).

The excuse that it's not abuse unless all the customers are abused is like saying it's not rape if you just force the tip in. You are absolutely not posting in good faith at this point. I don't know if you just can't get the point, if you can't accept being wrong, or have some hidden agenda, but defending such abuse is inexcusable especially when faced with the evidence that the very same companies who abuse their customers like this have 0 tolerance for being abused by their customers. And Nazi-era remnants of the society and legal system allow a person to go to jail for unpaid bus ticket but completely shield the bus company from any repercussions from unpaid compensations to a person.
Per level salary bands are easier to figure out for FAANG companies with sites like levels.fyi. You may be able to get an understanding during an interview, probably best to ask a recruiter since they are in the HR department and may have more detailed knowledge. Obviously don't ask "I want the lowest level with the highest salary" but more along the lines of asking how promotions work with titles/levels, annual reviews, etc. because those are relevant things to know and the answers may help decide between one company and another.

All salary bands overlap, a company with a lot more people will have a lot more variation in salary per level/title.
This issue is specific to Azure and Microsoft. I find AWS and GCP to be fine.

Microsoft has some of the worst security vulnerabilities and practices I have ever seen. I can’t for the life of me figure out how executives at big Fortune 500 move their workloads to Azure.

The only selling point Microsoft has for Azure in some domains is that Amazon is their competitor. I wish Amazon
just let AWS be it’s own thing.

I also hope that Microsoft step up their security game but at this point it’s kind of a lost cause.

The answer to your question is the answer to my question, and I actually have no stake or opinion on whether these lands should be returned. Maybe they should. But who should get these lands if we follow criteria resembling the laws of modern civilization (which is the one we'd have to apply here)?

That's the problem with collective ownership - nobody and everybody "owns" the land, and you can say they still own it the same if they still live in New Zealand. And, based on my very limited understanding of their history, they themselves couldn't ensure any sort of ownership given that land changed hands based on frequent warfare and conquest initiated by their chieftains.

About the Rockefeller foundation... You can check the laws that govern the continuation of his property, they are laws that apply to everybody and are codified in books of law.
Or get a Chromebook. Say what you want about Google but its one of the few who really care about security.
And not guaranteed to solve problems like this. Because at the end of the day, the maintenance of a cloud infrastructure is irreducible complexity so you replace having a breach because a centralized controlling authority made a mistake with having a breach because your own hired staff made a mistake and you got infiltrated by either a lucky drive by or a persistent attacker against your organization.
5–10% of people using earlier versions absolutely backs up the statement “Most Apple users always run the latest iOS version.”

It’s not reasonable to compare native apps to browser support. Dropping support for an older version of iOS doesn’t cut users off, they can continue to use the more recent version of your app that supports their device.

It’s especially unreasonable to compare it to people supporting Internet Explorer for a decade. Microsoft halted all development for five years and people carried on using it much longer. Apple comes out with a new major version of iOS every year and nobody is using decade-old versions of iOS.
Imagine you are an anti-unicorn. Could there be a stigma against you? No, because there are no unicorns to stigmatize you. There are no unicorn front groups, or unicorn agents of influence, to blacklist you. Since unicorns do not exist, nobody in the world cares if you write a scathing book against unicorns. On the other hand, if you write a book exposing communist subversion, even if that subversion happened eighty years ago, you are likely to lose your syndicated column, your income, and more. The takeaway is, unicorns don’t exist but communists do – and they will destroy anyone who threatens them.

By calling me a “dinosaur” and a “McCarthyite,” my religious conservative friend demonstrated his superficiality. He sees communism only as an economic system that has been abandoned.

I don't agree. I questioned his statements quite hard. Because I already knew at the time that he was not well-behaved with women.

Now, be aware that I almost fully agree with the rest of this comment and your other comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37699851#37702338. [*]

What one thinks / what one's ideals are is different from how one actually behaves. Especially when speaking about sexism. Apart from obviously bad behavior, there are many things we do that are sexist without even us noticing and it's important to be aware of this so it can be fixed.

[*] With a difference: I understand a "misogynist" as someone who actively dislike women. See [1]. Sexism ≠ misogyny.

Apple showed them that an ARM desktop is totally possible. And also that making the pi 2x or 3x times faster would make a great arm linux desktop.

It's more like they're expanding their top line.
I was pleased that he called his write up on the industrial design for the computer, a case study.
I'm Chris from Airwindows.

I've recently done a bunch of work on extending what's possible in slew clipping and slew softclipping, and I'm about to do my level best to provide legit big-analog-console sounds ITB as open source free software: that is through minimal but unorthodox DSP to target the end state of the sound rather than putting up GUIs and then using traditional DSP to imitate every last analog step in the process.

A recent milestone is Console Zero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDAZTEUtSpk which is a bit of a radical experiment in applying only such mathematical calculations that preserve the mantissa of the floating-point value being worked on (where possible). This led to a 'switched' panner with a completely different (or absent!) pan law, in which every pan position retains the mantissa of the audio word, for an LCR-like effect where you also get a mid-right and mid-left position plus a whole array of increasingly hard-panned positions.

baconpaul from the Surge Synth project has helped me extend my codebase to things like VCV Rack support and is generally pleased with the relentless consistency of my code library (especially the VST2s which are all stereo and have no control variation beyond 0-1 inputs) and my ability to write notes and descriptions in such a way that he can write code to parse that and do things like bring all the plugins, INCLUDING what documentation they have, into a single package via elaborate scripting.

As a rule I put out a new open-source plugin under the MIT license every week. I am paid a bit over minimum wage by my Patreon, and if I didn't need or want to get studio gear to use and study, that would cover my cost of living handily :)
My grandfather, who devoted his life to nonprofit work, liberated concentrations camps firsthand as a US Army officer, and observed in his later years how common it was for people to remember the six million Jews who died but forget the six million Poles.

(The crime of antisemitic genocide is very very great, but if you doubt the Polish suffering, recall that the cry for “Leibensraum” was not purely or even primarily about the Jews, but it was undertaken with great military force, right?)

I have had a hard time independently verifying the Polish numbers to even share them with others so I agree the west ignorance on this runs deep.
Most of my experience of teasing falls into one of two catagories: teasing of a female by a male, teasing of a child by an adult. I can't remember the last time I (m) was teased by another male.

This begs the question... at some level is the teasing of females by males an attempt to infantalise them? A mating ploy perhaps?

While the post is great, terrifying, and seems to contain only true and verifiable information, I’m not sure what we expect.

„Normal“ people will not read this, nor be able to understand, nor gauge or grasp the impact. It’s become way to complex. We can’t simply stop using mentioned services anymore as a society.

Wouldn’t it be more reasonable to teach:

1. You have no privacy, it is impossible to ensure or guarantee privacy, and there’s no incentive at all for anyone to ensure privacy. (Scott McNeally of Sun said that already in the late 1990s)

2. There is no security and every kind of security has been, was designed to, or will be compromised.

3. All your digital information is already public or will become public at some point. (btw: Every top-tier consultancy operates under that assumption)
You mention a small performance hit with wsl...It's brother WSA (android subsystem) hits super hard on Windows 11 for some reason.

I somewhat miss the kernel translation in favor of the new VM style for these like you mentioned since it's really a VM without some of the benefits like network management and clear cut performance boundaries
So can you install gnu/linux on someones desktop and he can just use it on his own without the terminal? What do they do, when the next update tells them that some pgp keys are invalid?

Free software works for devs and geeks, yes and I happen to be one of them. But for common people? Usually not very good, as they don't know the terminal and don't know config files. I know, because I tried to spread linux. It is hard work.
Having depression and needing antidepressants is probably sufficient grounds to deny people the ability to fly passenger planes in the first place.
I notice this when travelling the world and it's one of the main reasons I think the many of the arguments for cryptocurrency are flawed. I've used decades old dollar bills in SE Asia that have been pretty much detached from the US economy for decades and have held value better than bitcoin ever has. The value of the dollar is linked not just to the US economy but also a global black economy and that has some unoffical influence on exchange rates & dollar value.
Seems if you’re an American, having your money in USD would be doubly useful!
>As a "my government made our money useless" back up.

I think that's where you first get into "some other governments money may be less useless" as a first stage backup. Precious metals in direct ownership are really a hedge against all or most other governments money collapsing.

Until you reach a global societal collapse, having gold in your possession seems like a negative ROI and I wonder if, should that case happen, would precious metals again become the medium of exchange or something else (peoples' opinions have changed and a fist full of diamonds might not be as valuable to me as say fresh drinking water should such a thing happen). It would likely depend on the cause of global collapse and what people consider valuable (obviously, but it probably needs stated).

Precious metals seem to be a good medium of exchange historically only at a certain level of assumed societal infrastructure, similar to our fiat currencies. Cavemen and small tribes cared little of precious metals and would rather trade land, access rights, livestock, etc.
> But modern modems aren't connected over serial. There's no concept of line speed. This property is entirely irrelevant to modern hardware.

Says who? I'm just commenting here and on second screen I'm debugging a microcontroller connected over serial link to a LTE cat M1 modem, that's a pretty modern one. It uses 115200 8n1 line by default, but you can change that speed, it even has speed autodetection, after modem signals that it's ready on separate line, you can send it "AT" at your preferred speed until it responds (typically after third AT).
> As another commenter said, it was an incentives problem. Right or wrong, good or bad, helping people with small scripts was not something that would ever be rewarded.

I agree with you here. The long queues for internal dev support is indicative of high demand for that support. If the organization can’t or won’t staff properly to provide that support, both the users AND the devs are forced to make tough choices.

So the devs say “No” to requests (or it takes an inordinately long time to get done), and so the business users make their own tools.

And the cycle continues…
I'm using currently 4:

- One pi4 for my homemade 3D printer (a Voron)

- One pi3 for a homemade eInk clock/weather station (here I could've gotten with sth much cheaper like an ESP32, but the Pi is so convenient)

- One pi zerow 2 for a homemade eInk radio

- One pi4 I just bought for home automation (homeAssisstant)
These aren't really "bars" like ingots. Trading sealed packages of 1oz gold tabs is probably better than trying to trade gold coins of unverified composition/weight.
Grafting works with small branches because enough of the callus can differentiate into xylem and phloem cells before the branch dries out and dies (via use of plant hormones usually).
I'd support jailing the executives of any business that engages in such training.

Careful with blanket statements like these. Run a system with high sustained compute and data egress; even when accounting for engineer time (and people often neglect to account for time spent administering cloud infra), the cloud markup is huge. While it works for some companies, cloud is not universally cheaper.
What Is an 'Infectious Dose?'
Key part is simple. For some apps I wondered why I had them in the "cloud" in the first place. And then I had to do something every month or two because I had to migrate to some stupid new version of an environment, do some DNS entries because the apps couldn't send mails anymore, configure the shitty IAM of the cloud provider I didn't need. Register my apps for some stupid database access.

Now I have apps where I need 15 minutes of maintenance a year, install and configuration takes 5 minutes.

Some cloud providers have amazing stuff, but I feel they all start to bloat and I don't have use cases that need whole clusters.
