Unrelated, is the word pagan used in the headline, appropriate in this day and age? It is an umbrella term that is used to refer to non Abrahamic religions with a derogatory slant like 'heathen'. This is similar to using Mythology as a term for any non Abrahamic religious references.
My suspicion is they're bots.

you really think so? it's true that the government in the film was authoritarian, but the plight of the workers seemed far more salient than the structure of power that was keeping them in their place.

I'm curious what "work" the contrafreeloading animals were doing, in making the comparison. Because yeah, domestic cats are lazy as hell but when a mouse got into our house, our cat was more interested in finding it than getting free treats.

OpenAI is basically front for Microsoft now.
The most jarring thing about entering the workforce to me, and it seems to the author as well, is the nigh-pathological lack of pride (or “passion”, which I think is a loathsome term) most people put into their jobs.

I don’t accept that all of those people intrinsically are lazy morons - maybe some or even most are, but a lot of people get that attitude metaphorically beaten into them by lazy and disengaged coworkers. I know this for a fact because I’ve witnessed it happen to many people as they mature as workers and also noticed it in myself. I can’t prove it’s not related to age, or position in life (eg a young single person eager to prove themselves at work, vs someone who prioritizes family) but I know firsthand that there are at least some experienced workers with families, responsibilities, and hobbies that manage to stay focused and engaged for a long time.

I expect some pushback against this, but I really do think this phenomenon - whatever you want to call it - is the basis for ageism. It frankly is a real, observable thing that life has a way of beating the passion out of people into a point they see their job as clock-in, clock-out. It doesn’t happen to everyone of course. One of the reasons I love working with interns and recent college grads is that, despite their lack of skills or knowledge in many areas, they mostly haven’t gone through that transformation yet.
AMD Exec Says Intel IFS Is Destined to Fail
This is solid advice. Find something you're interested in and go from there. If you can't find anything, maybe build something like a weather station. You'll start with a simple task: read the ambient temperature and display it somewhere (on an LCD, in a react app on the cloud etc). You'll then need to start solving problems, like how do you read outside temperature where you'll learn about batteries, wireless technology, water proofing etc.

Don't stress about the electronics and certainly don't be intimidated by text books. When you're starting out you don't need to really know the theory of transistors, but maybe a few youtube videos on the basics won't go astray. Think about if you were learning to code... would you read a book and start stressing about computer architecture? Some people might, but most won't. They'll hit up create-react-app and mess around with that.

When you're learning it's important to get instant feedback. Just learn how to blink an LED and you've completed the hello-world of electronics.

If you can code, you can do electronics. Same for the reverse. The skill sets are closely aligned.
I don't think the comment above you is a valid perspective considering that it does not appear to be a 0-day vulnerability and there is no evidence of it being used in the wild. The information he provided is IMO not enough to craft an exploit out of. Yes, now there is a giant bullseye on cURL and maybe the bad guys will start looking hard at it, but cURL has always been a widely distributed software that needs to interact with the unsafe world (the internet), so I would imagine attackers have been looking at it for a while already. So far he hasn't revealed critical information such as when the vulnerability was introduced and exactly what area it affects, which would have helped a potential attacker narrow down the scope.

So I think it's just fear mongering to say suddenly people will craft exploits because of this notice. Like, if they are so good at finding the exploit then they probably would have found it a long time ago already given the lack of useful intel here.

Someone not understanding what they're buying when the information is all publicly available doesn't make it a scam. Again, a scam implies someone being "misled". If you buy some ecstasy and its laced with fentanyl, you were scammed (to say the least). If you buy ecstasy and you get ecstasy, you were not scammed as you got exactly what you asked for.

In ethereum that only happened once back in 2016 when the DAO was hacked. In any case you're free to use Ethereum Classic.

Anyways you listed some legitimate concerns of cryptocurrencies, but none of them imply that crypto is a scam. Nobody is forced to use crypto, and anyone purchasing crypto should obviously do their own research and evaluate whether it makes sense for them. Crypto has legitimate use cases (eg. for people in countries with oppressive currency regimes) and many find it work the risks.

> Should we just PIP the engineer

No, fire them without cause like a grown up and take the hit to your unemployment insurance. Don't put them through some three-ring circus act masquerading as employee development. It's undignified and disrespectful. You and the employee have a disagreement over the job description -- this not performance related. Don't try and spin it as that.

It amazes me that these B-school pricks managed to enshrine at-will employment across the country, and they still won't just fucking fire people like adults. No, instead we got one of the worst MBA-isms visited on corporate America, the PIP. Fucking cowards, the lot of them.
Although when the s&p dropped 20% in a few days in March 2020 — that was clearly a buy signal. And when tech stocks dropped by 70-90% in Nov 2022. Those stocks are now up 2x/3x from bottom. Sure, long term it probably doesn’t work out to time the market but sometimes it’s pretty obvious what’s happening.

I am right now in Sri Lanka and couldn't connect to a WiFi that I connected to after I still was on airplane mode. After reading that support thread I could reproduce this issue.

I had one of those first gen PPC Macs, Having spend big on a new machine and have everything run much slower than on your old machine, and that in a time where unlike today we did not have performance to spare, was a real turnoff.

It got abetter eventually, but by then 1st gen was already replaced, and you had to buy the next version of the software as well if eventually a PPC native version came available. Office software in those days was also much more expensive than today.

At the same time Microsoft released Windows 95, arguably the first Windows with a usable GUI. The PPC switch was a disaster for Apple, no doubt about it.
It's not entirely clear to me after reading, but the author addresses it somewhat in the article. Seems like it depends on the persistence of the crawler, if the host instance permits that info to be shared:

> In the example above, if Ringo were to reshare John's reshare of my status - John doesn't know about it. Only the original poster (me) gets notified. If John doesn't share his social graph, it might be possible to work out where Ringo saw the status - but that's rather unlikely.

> Mastodon has an API rate limit which only allows 80 results per request and 1 request per second. That makes it long and tedious to crawl thousands of results.

> Similarly, some instances do not share their social data or expose anything of significance. Some servers may no longer exist, or might have changed names. It's impossible to get a comprehensive view of the entire Fediverse network.
That blog post is talking about something else though. He's saying that the CVE system does not do a good job and allows for people who drums up severity for drama. That is just a generic issue he has with the procedure. You can have severity written in C to JavaScript to even Rust, or just simple configuration mistakes. That's not what he's complaining about.

In fact, him saying that this vulnerability is high is part of the point. If every single bug or vulnerability is a "high" severity bug, then nothing really is. It's only when you use this rating when it makes sense to that it would have the proper impact.

Thanks. While what I'm describing can abstract well to ToC (many problems can), one difference is that the meeting taker with headphones pollutes the commons for everyone except themself—and those who want (or relent) to put their own headphones on. In standard ToC, the folks short term logic deteriorates the commons for everyone.
The point is that vocal fry, even when it is an affectation and not just your normal speech, used to be seen as a marker of eloquence and high class. British actors, male ones, used vocal fry extensively. Sean Connery's James Bond uses it in the famous "Bond. James Bond" introduction [0], for just one example. Or listen to William F Buckley, an American high class conservative (buffoon that presented as an intellectual) using it to sound prim and proper [1].

It is an objective fact that hating vocal fry is just a fad, and that loving it has been a fad for at least as long. You are free to dislike it, but you can't pretend it should be hated on objective grounds, and it definitely doesn't convey boredom or low effort.

It needs to go further. Fire everyone who says there are no problems. If there are no problems, why is an under-manager needed? Also fire everyone who makes up bullshit problems.

Had these coincidences a bunch of times when I was writing with someone on Telegram. Like, 3 times in a row. We were discussing potential domain names for a project and they got auto-linked and probably auto-scanned by Telegram's preview bot, which in return probably shares the data with a third-party company.

Never post your domains anywhere online nowadays, until you really registered the domain and the DNS entry is pointing to your server.

What you're describing is the opposite of the whole point of specifications. The aim wasn't to circle around a single implementation, it was to define feature specifications that would allow multiple vendors to build cross-compatable web browsers.

What would be the point of open specifications if there was only a single implementation?

Those are two separate things though. C is more vulnerable than Rust, but either way we should properly sandbox our applications even if they are written in a memory-safe language like Rust (which is not infallable, it's just safer).

One issue is if cURL is allowed to write to "one or more files", then how do you prevent it from writing to a key configuration file or sensitive one that has a lot of downstream effect or write a Bash script that could launch further attacks?
>> The railway companies sometimes faced concerted resistance from local people who refused to adjust their public clocks to bring them into line with London Time.

The cynic in me doesn't find this even mildly surprising. Faced with an inevitable outcome, which had clear benefits, with no discernable down-sides [1], the population still managed to find the time, energy and will to fight.

This stubbornness seems to be baked into the human condition, this "they can't tell we what to do" sounds suspiciously like small child having a tantrum.

As their world changed, it brought about new challenges, which required cooperation to solve. And it was the cooperation rather than the solution which proved to be a stumbling block.

Development and developers are extremely expensive, especially when you have to train them how to use your custom home built product. You are generally far better off using the off the shelf product that everyone has been trained on than using some custom product when you have to start hiring and training developers. The software costs are generally minimal compared to hiring smart people to design, implement and code projects with complex business logic.
IMO, this is a much more comprehensive article on the same topic: https://www.aqr.com/-/media/AQR/Documents/Insights/White-Pap...

For unsophisticated investors, timing the market tends to keep money on the sidelines during growth periods, eroding long-term returns. This is part of why it's considered an investing sin - "time in the market beats timing the market." Sophisticated systematic investors can probably get good results with certain momentum-based market timing strategies, but most of us aren't sophisticated systematic investors.

I don't understand what that passage is supposed to mean. Yes, you write code to please the compiler. Moreover, you first look for ways to make the compiler harder to please, rather than just use its defaults.

You don't write code just to please the compiler, but it's a big deal. (Obviously, if you just wanted to please the compiler, it wouldn't have to be indented, and your variables could have names like l0327.)

A sufficiently smart compiler could warn you that you're introducing an object X with the same meaning as object Y, so your coworker can sleep at night. Or if not compiler than some other tool. We can imagine tooling that scans the code base and tells you that a class exists that is very similar to what you just wrote.

A compiler was written by your de facto coworkers, likely in another organization far away. When their ball-busting attempts turn up nothing against your code, that is a kind of praise.

Apple get phone sales from me because of this stance.

I think article is a bit naive. If your system is designed this way, you probably have no control over it. Maybe some legacy stuff, maybe you jump too fast between 300 microservices...

More sane, but absolutely slow. Every gateway, NAT, firewall, router and switch between two devices would need 15x more RAM, and even with that RAM would need to parse strings, deal with unicode, etc. All of those are slow operations.

Tbh we haven't been focused on monetization at all. We've just put a high number to avoid disappointing people afterwards by raising pricing (I hate when company advertise something as cheap, then lock you in and raise prices). But we don't enforce any pricing as of today, you can use the cloud version for free without any limitation.

The actual pricing will likely be significantly lower.
Initially we thought of introducing a pricing system that's more aligned with the value created (with a generous credit system, based on number of actions taken), because we found that Salesforce charges by seat but in large orgs most of the seat companies pay for are unused, so the incentives aren't aligned.
I'm not sure we'll go this way because people also want a simple and predictable pricing they can understand.

Back when I was doing proper product development, eg burning CDs and printing manuals, this was a pretty good strategy.

Something changed. And I'm not smart enough to see it.

My best guess is that most dev work is now "IT". Agile. Everything is make believe. Nothing ever really ships or is considered done. Then 18 - 36 elapse and its time for a do over. Any knowledge, culture, or lessons learned sent to /dev/null.

I've been binging the Oxide Computer podcast. They're actually making something. Concrete, real, shippable, useful. That'd be nice.
