I don’t even use the same OS at work. I use macOS at home, but work at a Windows shop on a Dell.

I guess this is because in college and my first few dev jobs used Macs. A nice side effect is my wife hasn’t had any tech support complaints since we switched, it has been great.

I’d still never use company hardware for personal stuff. I don’t even login to Spotify on the company laptop.
The difference is people like you mean consciousness = "consciousness as the average human experiences it", whereas others include every single potential conscious experience, including the delibitated one. From your perspective, a knocked out human isn't conscious the same way a corpse is not conscious, because he does not conform to the average human experience.

Meanwhile others think that the knocked out human and the corpse and the average human are all conscious, but they experience their respective consciousnessess aka the consciousness of an average human, knocked out human or corpse. You could say that this is just a disagreement in what the word conscious means.

Blackbeltbarrister [1] has a good overview of what these regulations are attempting to do; legislate end to end encrypted inspection tech into existance. Either it's a smokescreen for something more sinister (require backdoors or weaker encryption) or its a delusional attempt by regulators to enforce oversight over encrypted traffic. Either way, something has to give.

I’m guessing you haven’t been in a situation where the problems are apparent? Your advice probably works fine for small projects. You can upgrade the toolchain and fix all the new warnings in the same commit. Often there’s nothing to do.

It doesn’t work for a monorepo where the toolchain needs to be upgraded for many projects at once. Enabling each new warning (turning it into a build-breaking error) may require touching hundreds of files. Getting a toolchain upgrade done in one monster commit doesn’t work; you will inevitably break something and have to roll back, or be unable to commit it all due to merge conflicts with other commits.

I’ve been on a team that needed to be able to upgrade the toolchain in one commit and then turn on each new warning in separate commits. Having an explicit list of all the warnings that are turned on and then gradually updating it to be the equivalent of -Wall was the way to go.

For me it has very little to do with religiousness but rather calming down some rather frequent panic attacks in the middle of the night. The fact that thinking the wrong thing can erase your consciousness while thinking it, doesn't help from the group that believes thinking the wrong thing erases consciousness.

Yeah. Spelling the name of the language wrongly is also a pretty clear indication the author isn't familiar with Go. And doesn't grok it gets used for very different stuff to Rust.

This is builtin with X.509 certificates having an expiration date, and also the ability to revoke them before expiration. Unless you have a cryptographic timestamp proving the signature was made before expiration or revocation, signatures stop proving authenticity once the certificate has expired/been revoked.
I'm not the original commenter here, but I don't understand your question. What does visualizing have to do with knowing where someone is?
The real related question is who is going to investigate the Kansas State Bureau of Investigation.

They swooped in to help investigate and now should be investigated.

They should be arresting the Police Chief not supporting him.

FWIW, they donated the project to the Apache Foundation, so it is open source (albeit unmaintained).

Am I inferring correctly that you are suggesting I may cause a perverse incentive, wherein they would be more motivated to cover it up due to the potential of punishment? I don't think that applies, as the punishment I'm suggesting is for the cover-up and knowing prosecution of innocent people, so the incentive would be to not do that. Not to mention they already seemed fully motivated to continue saving face anyway

Having rich people face actual material consequences to their life, rather than "punishments" like losing a job or honor, would hopefully reduce corporate malpractice, yes, as they now know that they are not invincible (obligatory note that I am talking about criminal responsibility, not suggesting we do away with LLCs or something)

I could not believe this, so I looked it up. What I found was that in 2015 some Chinese minister complained that Chinese ball point pens were not on par with respect to writing quality when compared with non-Chinese ones. In 2017 they had this worked out and that made headlines in the West. Maybe there is more to this which I could not find right away, but as of now I could not find any evidence that China could not produce ball point pens 15 years ago, only that the quality was not top notch until 5 years ago.

I don’t understand the OSS argument.

Warnings spilling over from library dependencies can be mitigated easily by including them using -isystem instead of -I.

For code that is not libraries, there is nothing strange about having dependency on a specific toolchain, preferably two supported options.

Besides, warnings or not, devs using different toolchains than CI is just inviting for works-on-my-machine situations the rest of us left behind in the last century.
Reviewing code on GitHub is tough, especially with larger changes. However, Gerrit's user interface is so beginner/user hostile that I would still prefer it to Gerrit. It scares away new contributors. :(

They do, to a certain extent. It's called whole wheat.
Yes. You are so right.

It’s fascinating and quite scary, how fast our minds can get used to things.

The first time I saw output from DALL-E I thought: Is this actual output from ML/“AI” or is it a hoax? It wasn’t a hoax, so I was very impressed. And now it’s the new normal.
Replacing hardware memory safety with WASM is a great idea, but FWIW you can get most of the benefits by just using hugepages. Eg, clang spends 7% of its time on TLB misses and you can get a free 5% speedup using hugectl: https://easyperf.net/blog/2022/09/01/Utilizing-Huge-Pages-Fo...

The practical solution would be to replace the MMU with a tiny one that's backwards compatible and extremely cheap in silicon area and latency. Old binaries would limp along due to translation overhead while new software would use only a couple of pages across the whole system since memory protection is done in software when the bytecode is compiled and you never need to swap to disk. New binaries would run >>7% faster. I wouldn't call this a high-level CPU tho. Most high-level CPU ideas are really stupid ones like tagging every word with a type ID that must be checked by hardware while wasting cache on something the compiler could have done.

> If you get rid of branch prediction and prefetching logic you get more space for more cores. If you hook up memory in parallel to those cores you get higher effective memory throughput and executed instructions per second.

Sounds like a GPU. Compiling normal code to run on chips like that is still an open problem and I doubt it will be solved within the next decade. We'd need AGI to rewrite code the same way humans do

> CPUs already contain trie walkers for their page tables, you might as well use that for looking up data in indexes directly.

I had the same idea and I feel like it should be possible with today's CPUs, tho I'm not sure how to implement it. Eg convert IP prefixes to page table entries and use the TLB to decide where to route packets the same way routers use TCAM in ASICs
Those numbers look like they could be about right for 2020/2021, but using them in a 2023 article is meaningless given the effects of the war in Ukraine on gas and electricity prices. I don't know how much Portugal's grid depends on gas, but I could believe that it's less affected by gas prices than the UK grid is.
I can imagine, sounds like you're doing interesting and challenging stuff, best of luck. And yes thank you! You confirm some thoughts I had and clarify others. I appreciate it
Housing is a function of what buyers can afford. The move from single to dual earning households now necessitates a dual income family. We’d actually be in a better position (childcare wise) if we stuck to only one parent working.
I don't think this is actually an improvement. It's more complicated and most people don't need this. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
> If they say “yes,” you’re happy because the terms or money are so good, it more than compensates for the distraction, perhaps funding the thing you really want to do.

Perhaps. Make sure you're high bar is high enough. Opportunity cost is an underappreciated metric. The exceptional (read: as in a rare exception well above average, mean, etc.) can be addicting, and eventually self-defeating (read: before you know it your temporary digital ditch digger stint gets less stint-y and more permanent-esque). It's like a bad-ish romantic relationship that goes on too long. Regrets, and the some.

If you're going to go this route, be certain to plan your exit. For example, "The first X weeks are $Y per hour. After that we revisit, if necessary." Baking this into the agreement will force you at the end of X weeks to recalibrate the revenue vs the opportunity costs.

In fact, for any type of contract work with too many unknowns and/or too much possible career friction always include a time limit along with the rate.
I've always respected choosing 0 as an invalid state. It makes it much harder to accidentally have a function succeed if the default representation is "you messed up"
when you get a work computer you have to get it set up to do your work immediately. The work you are doing is probably the work you will be interviewing for thus you have everything you need to set up for the coding challenge already set up on your work computer.

When you get a personal computer you do not need to set up all the things you need to do your work immediately, so you will do the setup of things as you need them.

thus if you get a new personal computer it might not be fully setup yet.

If you are of the age that you have kids you may not have time to do any sorts of personal projects, if so and you have an old personal computer it may not be up to date with what is needed for the coding project because you have not been doing a lot of stuff.

If you have kids or other problems your personal computer may end up broken or unusable and you might not have the money at the moment or the reason to buy a new one.
> Its really impossible to go back in history, at all

Sequencing ancient DNA allows us to do this in some respects. We’ve learned a lot in the last <10 years about population movements, relations, and timing from this. See “Who We Are and How We Got Here” by David Reich. Main takeaway: there was a lot more mixing of early modern human population groups than anyone expected.
Yeah sorry to get hung up on the entire discussion that was happening

> So, don't blame Musk and the AfD - blame the ultra-progressive EU politicians who believe you have to help everyone who's escaping their country, sustain them on welfare indefinitely, and not criticize them no matter their crimes.

Yes, but write out all the chemicals inside them the way you did for the wonder bread.

> As an aside, anyone thinking you need all those ingredients in bread should try baking their own loaf.

As a British expat living in NYC, I am mostly able to find a good freshly baked loaf on the way home from work. On the occasions we can’t, my Polish wife will bake her own loaf, as we would never eat the extremely sweet breads typically found in bodegas/grocery stores. And yes, she only uses 4 ingredients.

I just don’t think it’s superior because of some false pretence about the number of ingredients.
That was very funny (read to the end!).

I've read most of qntm's books [1] and enjoyed them greatly. See also hatetris [2] and absurdle [3].

Ah, thanks for clarifying it: you're against GDPR! Difficult to sympathize, sorry. Being against encryption backdoors is very different from being against any legislation meant to actually protect privacy, and I find that the two are actually conflicting positions.

> Someone took advantage of a catastrophe to steal one of my most precious belongings…

This is the type of stuff that one would expect to happen centuries ago, like piracy, only to find out it's still alive and kicking. Quoting from chapter XIX of "Les Misérables" (1862):

> Every army has a rear-guard, and it is that which must be blamed. Bat-like creatures, half brigands and lackeys; all the sorts of vespertillos that that twilight called war engenders; wearers of uniforms, who take no part in the fighting; pretended invalids; formidable limpers; interloping sutlers, trotting along in little carts, sometimes accompanied by their wives, and stealing things which they sell again; beggars offering themselves as guides to officers; soldiers’ servants; marauders; armies on the march in days gone by,—we are not speaking of the present,—dragged all this behind them, so that in the special language they are called “stragglers.” No army, no nation, was responsible for those beings; they spoke Italian and followed the Germans, then spoke French and followed the English. (...)

> Nevertheless, on the night from the 18th to the 19th of June, the dead were robbed. Wellington was rigid; he gave orders that any one caught in the act should be shot; but rapine is tenacious. The marauders stole in one corner of the battlefield while others were being shot in another.

Humans might be far from the ideal driver, but they’re better than that.
I think that’s the virtue of setting a high price on what you don’t want to do as your “not saying no”/funding strategy.

It’s a reflection of your perceived opportunity cost.

But you are right to suggest time-bounding your engagement up front to avoid getting stuck in a local maxima.

Or, at a certain scale, have a segregated set of people doing these requests where possible to limit and help govern the distraction.
My personal favorite was this weird spinoff called Google Coin. The app made random metallic sounds and the loading animation was a spinning coin. Too bad it was cancelled after three months.
> I tend to separate refugees and migrants, as the process and framing is very different. From a cursory look I'm not the only one.

This is certainly an important distinction, however refugees are a small minority of people coming here. Most come from countries that are classified safe* and most even pass several safe countries to come here, which makes them migrants by default.

*: However, they could be in danger because of their religion, sexuality, race. It happens, but it is rare.

No, it works just fine like that. The ideal outcome is for FireFox to continue to exist with a very small marketshare. That's enough for the FigLeaf function and not enough for Google to worry about killing it off any further. And contrary to the other time when a monopolist kept their competition alive I don't think this one is going to end with FireFox reversing its fate and ending up with market dominance after a surprise success.

> “It doesn’t matter because it’s just an ops problem” assumes that it’s okay to just throw a bunch of money at it via astronomical cloud fees or salaries for dedicated ops people.

It's okay to have different roles and responsibilities within organisation and it's okay to outsource certain aspects of operations. AWS RDS costs essentially the same for PG vs MySQL (PG is about 3% more expensive) and I doubt it would be much different in ops salary if you do it yourself, so it's not astronomical.
Downside of this approach:

Often you are quoting a super high price because you don't want the work and maybe it isn't really what you love to do or your expertise.

But the buyer assumes you have a super high price because you're the best and can charge what you're worth.

End result: The buyer is unhappy with your work, because you priced as if you were a world leading expert and actually you are learning on the job and don't want to be there anyway.
I used it for a couple of theatre projects, and thought it was great. The multi-media sharing was like nothing else at the time, and the threaded discussions worked well. I don't remember the details, but I think we had to stop because everyone I was working with had collectively run out of invites and Google wouldn't give us any more. (And by "wouldn't" I mean "completely ignored emails to their 'user feedback' address", which seemed to be the only way to contact support for the project.) I was, and still slightly am, disappointed that it went away.

A few years ago I was invited to a (pre-release, I think) focus group at Dropbox headquarters on their Dropbox Paper project. We went around the room, speed-dating like, to different tables, where PMs and/or engineers showed us particular UIs or use-cases and asked for feedback. At every table I told them that "this looks a lot like Google Wave", and was met with blank looks.

There are downsides to the tech industry's extreme youthfulness.
> I don't want people writing me patches that trigger my pet warnings.

They will fail your CI. There's no issue.
There lies the problem IMO.

The publication date of the DKIM record will be _after_ the email has been sent.

Obviously there is no real way to 'prove' the publication date of a DNS record, other than asking the DNS service provider for the logs maybe.

So IANAL, but I'd say the lack of provability of the publication date of the key makes it unsuitable for deniability. Just because the DKIM public key is currently public, does not prove in any way that it was already public when the email was sent.
This response is comic. Are you sure I am the one stifling dialogue?

I did not assert any false equivalence, that's your mistaken interpretation. Given your poor reading skills, I agree there's no reason to continue a dialogue, actually.
If that affects your break-even point you may have problems with your business model. Hiring juniors, training them and keeping on junior salary is a gross misunderstanding of how things should work.
