I can empathize with giving up a platform that has little ROI. As a Mac-only computer gamer (after 30+years of PC gaming) it still makes me sad to see it abandoned.

I can say that the game seems to run fine on Crossover. GeForce Now is also a great option if you're on Ethernet on great Internet.
Love tRPC! For full stack typescript teams it’s the obvious way to go. Super simple and straightforward. OpenAPI or GraphQL are great though if you’re investing into APIs as a product
Where this breaks down is that because of the nature of the internet and DDoS attacks it’s not something that can easily be solved with better policing - even identifying a perp might be near-impossible, and they might be in another country anyways. The government does try to prosecute botnets and DDoS attacks today, but it’s of limited success. Is there a practical solution here I’m missing?

Sometimes when I watch videos like this I really wonder what the future is supposed to look like , heavily regulated I guess? All out chaos? Imagine what a criminal organization could do with a bunch of robots that are this agile? It's hard to imagine.

Personally,I think we'll get really good at killing robots and they'll get better at killing people (military).
This article is absurd.

> But when a large language model scores well on such tests, it is not clear at all what has been measured. Is it evidence of actual understanding? A mindless statistical trick? Rote repetition?

It is measuring how well it does _at REPLACING HUMANS_. It is hard to believe how the author clearly does not understand this. I don't care how it obtains its results.

GPT-4 is like a hyperspeed entry to mid level dev that has almost no ability to contextualize. Tools built on top of 32k will allow repo ingestion.

This is the worst it will ever be.
My family is Ahmedi, (not a community historically disposed to the moral superiority of Europeans or Christians and not an upper class family either) so secularism was and is a way of making sure the masses don’t turn us into mincemeat (in Bangladesh too)

What I’m trying to drive at is that this ignores indigenous leftist as well as minority (historically Ahmedis were never leftist with exception of 1970) movements.
Or does it say more about the sheer number of devices connected to the internet?

Very interesting! Is there reason to believe that the outcome would be different if the experiment was re-run but replacing the humans with coin-flipping machines?
Also certain unintuitive things in math/statistics (like the Monty Hall problem) because a lot clearer when you write up a quick simulation.
Yes it's an interesting trend. I integrate with a good handful of systems in my current work and the most important ones we integrate with are SOAP based. The concepts behind a WSDL are great in theory, but they end up incorrect or unmaintained in practice (at least with the systems I integrate with). There's something freeing and flexible about a plain REST API that makes developing your own wrapper nice and simple, but if all communication is between internal systems, a contract based approach seems great.
Banning a large number of customers for an entire month? doesn’t make economic sense, it’ll be cheaper to just pay a big cloud provider for protection.

(not to mention the number of false positives you'd get, etc etc)
I don't think the strategic action of a CEO is too relevant right now. The need to focus on rebuilding trust and I just cannot see how they will do that. They introduced an insecurity for developers, which already operate in an extremely high risk industry.

If there weren't people at Unity that could influence or stop the former CEO, the problem probably also didn't vanish with his termination.
Anecdotally, on a desktop machine with something like 64GB RAM, when I switched from non-ECC to ECC (and 128GB RAM), the number of unexplained crashes seemed to drop from one every couple of weeks to one every 6 months or so. Could have been from a software upgrade though, probably Ubuntu 18 to Ubuntu 20.

Now I'm on an M1 MBP with 32GB RAM, and I get unexplained crashes roughly every 3-4 months, but I've been chalking it up to MacOS. Behavior also seems to degrade after a month or two of uptime. Hmm, maybe it's time for Apple to go ECC ...
Rubbish. These are just excuses for terrible & thoughtless design.

USB is by far the worst designed thing in the history of humankind, in terms of the cumulative amount of frustration it has caused globally.

All common-sense usability principles were ignored, and these are not new principles. Take the old RS-232C or RJ45 jacks, you just looked at it and you knew which way to plug it in. Hell you could do it blindfolded by feel.
Centuries later software archaeologists will discover your comment and be both enlightened and confused.

I'm not sure what "no compile time safety in this stack" even means in the context of a strongly-typed compiled language.

If you are referring to the dependency injection container making use of reflection, then Spring Native graduated from experimental add-on to part of the core framework some years ago. You can now opt for Quarkus/Micronaut-style static build-time dependency injection, and even AOT compilation to Go-style native executables, if you're willing to trade off the flexibility that comes with avoiding reflection. For example, not being able to use any of the "@ConditionalOnXXX" annotations to make your DI more dynamic.

(Personally, I don't believe that those trade-offs are worth it in most cases. And I believe that all the Spring magic in the universe doesn't amount to 10% of what Python brings to the table in a minimal Django/Flask/FastAPI microservice. But the option is there if your use case truly calls for it.)

Honestly, I've never run into anyone who considers Spring to be "the bane of their existence", where the real issue wasn't simply that the bulk of their experience was in something else. Where they weren't thrown into someone else's project, and resent working with decisions made by other people, but don't want to either dig in and learn the tech or else search for a new job where they get to make the choices on a greenfield project.
They can, if necessary. Oral Valium is a much more likely first step, though. Heavy sedation carries significant risk.

Like nearly all Buddhist teachings, there are practices you can do to develop these faculties. For example, you can reflect that all beings have at one time or another been your mother, or your child; realizing this, how can you feel hatred towards any other being?

It doesn't work for me, of course; I don't believe in rebirth.
Bit flips in memory can affect instruction code, not just data. This will manifest as random bluescreen crashes or visual artifacts in the case of video memory. Similar to errors/crashes from overclocking a little too high, but occurring occasionally on a normally stable system.
It would be very interesting to see how many players of Baldurs Gate 3 were/are on mac, it is one of the blockbuster games of the decade after all. It runs flawlessly and mostly on ultra settings on a M1 max. Instantly swiping between a browser and the fullscreen game without flickering is just as good as it gets, regarding gaming user experience.
It has begun. "Technology Man", not so far off from "Medicine Man".
Thanks for the encouraging words! So far it’s already nice to see these libraries being adopted slowly by more and more companies. Not nearly as big as graphql and trpc of course.
What happens is they do a wil-e-coyote (never look down!) until/if they are forced to. Usually because of insolvency. Then the whole system collapses. The receivers/banks, if it happens, then end up lower rent or selling wholesale to the next company who rents it lower.

The sheer size of such a collapse would tend to get regulators involved though. Think what’s going on in China, etc.

I don't think I'm going to make the leap into color printing until they offer a print head that actually does CMYK color mixing, and not just color swapping between a small palette.
If someone comes here and says "<insert programming language> cannot do X" and that is wrong, or perhaps outdated, don't you feel that the reaction would be similar?

If you are trying to make categorical statements about what AI is unable to do, at the very least you should use a state-of-the-art system, which conveniently is easily available for everyone.

> Audio jacks were the only ports that didn't have a direction back then.

On computers perhaps. There were plenty of round connectors in other uses though, e.g. Edison screw, Belling-Lee (TV/FM connectors), RCA, BNC, type C and type N RF, TOSLINK, etc.

Most of those wouldn't have been much use for a computer serial port though. Something like TOSLINK, with power and optic fibre would have been great. Too expensive at the time I think. But a round TRRP-style jack would have worked and been cheap.

Agree that USB-A was much better than the existing alternatives though.
I want this, but language agnostic.

Let me explain: standards are great, type safety is great, API contracts are great. Locked into a particular language is not great. In fact it's bad for the author. tRPC and now this assume my team has the desire and time to move to another language. The best frameworks assume none of that.

I'm not asking for implementations for every possible language given a framework. I'm asking for a framework for which any possible language can be built upon because the constructs are simple and easy to follow: graphql does this pretty well despite some of the nuances. Bonus points if the author provides examples out of the box in a variety of languages.
The issue with Spring ecosystem is that people use it without knowing why or which problem it solves but because almost everyone is using it. And most of the time, they don't need Spring (maybe a company like Netflix did, but it didn't prove to be the right choice at the end)

Yep, but they don't ever want to admit failure so keep rents high until they are bankrupt.

That's upsetting! I got 3 alerts so far within the last 5 months about suspicious logins (from Twitter, Facebook & Google). I was dismissing it telling myself I am being paranoid. Now I think my employer itself is spying on me?

The first alert was from Twitter. I am an H1B from India employed by a WITCH type Indian company working for an US client (probably top 3 in the world in what they do). One day, I saw some Twitter posts about how greencards for Indians would take decades or even 100 years. I was talking about this to a colleague on client's Microsoft Teams. Just as I mentioned this, teams got disconnected. Later that day, was talking to another colleague through same teams about same topic, again got disconnected. I thought it was odd, but dismissed. Then around 9 pm same day, I get an alert from Twitter that they prevented a suspicious login from an IP address in US.

4 weeks ago, I was talking about how my WITCH company manager is not letting anyone take vacation (from Sep-Dec, they are not letting any one take vacation unless absolutely necessary) to another colleague, through client's teams. 3 days later, I get an alert from Facebook that someone accessed by account, this time from Turkey.

Then 1 week later, got an email from Google with a security code that someone had requested for accessing the same Google account.

Don't know if I should just pack up and leave US at this point, lol!
Like small companies patent trolling bigger ones as their entire business model.

Patents as a whole is entirely negative force. The original thought to make the inventor be able to profit off the invention is long gone. Near every single one is corporate backed and used to stem the competition
Please keep the discussion civil. The findings and the future publication shows a great archeology achievement.
Link to it all you want, but that doesn't make it universally applicable. Do you really think we should still be building on top of Cobol? Almost everything gets rewritten. It's unavoidable, because almost everything eventually becomes unmaintainable.

I have interpreted this to mean implicit deref, as there is no "*" (could be a formatting problem).
Well, Musk did several things in close succession.

Sure, he scared off advertisers by welcoming nazis onto the platform. That's not something you'd want to replicate.

But he also fired 80% of the workforce, and the product kept working. If you have some subscription software where users keep paying $$$$ whether you add new features or not - getting rid of 80% of those expensive developers could be pretty tempting.
Kids will be less likely to lie still if they're anxious; slowing down the diagnostic process.
The actual solutions are:

1) Egress filtering by the ISPs

2) Better malware resistance and vulnerability mitigation on easily-compromised appliance and IoT devices

But neither is going to happen. 1 is a coordination problem. It has to be all or nothing, which can only be compelled by law, and we have no global laws and no global law enforcement mechanism. Some countries inevitably don't care and the rest won't partition the entire Internet by permanently cutting them off. 2 would probably make the entire Internet of Things and a whole lot of home computing just not happen because it isn't economically feasible. Poor security effectively acts as a tacit tax. We all pay a little bit each, but the tax is collected by criminals instead of governments.

Note that even your proposed solution here only works if 1 happened. Otherwise, source IP spoofing easily defeats a blocklist.

Sigil?
What?

Let's go back to username and password. 2FA forces scammers to up their game.

What about password managers? Having separate passwords to every account makes hacking into your accounts much harder and might hurt everyone in the long run.

And don't get me started on end to end encryption. Privacy, long term, will mean the fall of civilization.

Sarcasm aside. I think I understand your point in which we shouldn't just delegate to cloud providers the whole effort in preventing attacks, but just with everything production-grade, the average enterprise just isn't ready to deal with all the upfront cost to run your entire computing solution. Because it doesn't end with this type of mitigation and dependency. A similar argument could be made for not using proprietary chip designs made by cloud providers. Or any proprietary API solution for that matter. It really is a matter of convenience that a community solution might cover in the future, abstracting away fundamental building blocks every cloud provider must have (name resolution, network, storage and computing services) to provide such higher level functions without lock in. We are just not there yet.
I saw chatdev on hn and have been pretty disappointed with it :(

I've been on the receiving end of "Your" (dynamic) "IP has been blocked."

I would greatly prefer not having my semi-randomized IP blocked because someone used it maliciously a year ago.
If the game comes with a non-genuine installer from the cracker, it's usually not worth the risk.
Because when a single machine is infected, at one ISP, it's a good idea to block the whole subnet? I don't think any commercial activity could afford such security strategy, blindly blocking legit users by thousands.
Apparently, it is.

I actually remember from my software ergonomics course at university that black on white is better than white on black. I guess it stuck because it surprised my, I always considered the MS-DOS console easier to read. I do not remember any details, but I guess it must have been about working in a well lit office or something like that. Dark mode is probably only advantageous because we nowadays use screens in a lot of situations with all but ideal lighting.

One clear conclusion is that modern popular concepts of human racial and ethnic groups have little connection with the actual biological-genetic history of individual modern humans, they're mostly artificial (which is why claims about 'race-based biological weapons' are nonsense, for example).

I mean, you wanted free speech absolutism, you got it. I don't see the problem, the system failed as designed.
I think you're still misunderstanding the proposal. What are the types of your variables? This discussion makes no sense without type information. We're defining the meaning of . for pointers here. You seem to be misunderstanding the proposal as being purely a textual transformation that ignores types?

The proposal is literally: "If you see . and the left operand is a pointer, pretend the . was -> instead, because otherwise the code is already invalid."
> Wouldn't it be amusing if the Israelites were genetically Canaanites --- just with religious differences?

As I understand it, that is the expectation: The consensus among archeologists seems to be that ancient Israelites were simply another group of Canaanites who came to dominate the region. The Exodus is not a historical event.
