> Obviously not all of this is true. I chatted to Amazon driver for my apartment about some local Chicago sports and he talked to me forever. Ironically I had to end the conversation by saying I needed to use the bathroom. He’s definitely not timed.

In the US and the UK (where the interviews were conducted) Amazon deliveries are mostly contracted out to Delivery Service Partners who are small businesses that work exclusively for Amazon, drive Amazon vans, and wear Amazon uniforms. Amazon puts a lot of pressure on DSPs while giving DSPs the digital tools to apply pressure to their drivers, but there isn't a fully direct link and you can expect variation DSP-to-DSP and day-to-day.

Also, trying to calculate something as complicated as delivery routes to the maximum a human can do is bound to have outliers on either side. Eventually Amazon will figure it out and fix it, or they won't because the driver is smart enough to intentionally slow-roll it and feed them route data that validates their prediction.

Hi, author here.

Yes, we're a startup. With cunoFS, we've made it possible to leverage the lower cost and higher throughput of object storage like S3, and make it work transparently with functions like e.g. mmap(), chmod(), execve(), renameat2().
There's Crystal support on CodeCrafters too! You can Build your own Redis.
Yes, my mom would have us boys go out and piss outside by the garden for the same reason. My wife's azalea bush was getting eaten by deer too, so I told her the trick and got my son to water the bush. The tradition lives on.

Follow me for more life hacks.
Given that there are around 12 million between age 18-24 that are enrolled in a higher education program, 20 million that aren't - AND that 95% of startup founders have at minimum a Bachelors degree - my naïve take on this is that the probability for success (if we define success as getting funding for your startup) is much higher for the college educated bunch, than the others.
Bit flipping is based on falsifiable science. There's no dispute about whether it exists, just whether it's feasible to exploit it.

Reducing Time-to-Start
As a much more low-level developer, I think they have a point, but not that the interface should be exactly S3.

After all, the only thing that's truly "local" is the processor cache, and on the currently executing core at that. Everything else you have to send out for. Even the DRAM is still ~30ns away. The NVMe devices are on the other end of a "network" defined by the PCIe structure.

So many things on the filesystem would prefer blob semantics of all-or-nothing writes. You don't want to get an updated block in the middle of an executable, image, movie, shared library, etc. But there's no way to expose that differing semantics up to applications.

(not everything! sometimes you do actually want a database! But most of the time you don't want to have to do the required POSIX atomic file update dance)

We know that "everything is a file" was never quite true, but it was a useful principle for POSIX. "Everything is a blob" isn't quite true either, but it may be useful.

Is that a benefit or a cost?
This is an important NixOS Flake example.

Why?

Because it contains the following code/technique:

# You can also use a specific git commit hash to lock the version

nixpkgs-fd40cef8d.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/fd40cef8d797670e203a27a91e4b8e6decf0b90c";

Why is that important?

Because (as opposed to a construct like:

nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.05";

OR

nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"

) -- nixpkgs-fd40cef8d.url truly is fixed/pinned/unchangeable/static/"set in stone"/"guaranteed to contain exactly the same code at every point in time"/"locked" (use whatever terminology you will).

Whereas nixos-unstable is always changing, and nixos-23.05, while reasonably stable -- is not guaranteed to be exactly the same code in the future (bug fixes and patches may be applied to it retroactively).

But, "github:nixos/nixpkgs/fd40cef8d797670e203a27a91e4b8e6decf0b90c" is always guaranteed (by means of the commit hash) to be exactly the same code, perpetually and always, into the future, continually...

So, it's a great technique for software hermeticism and reproducibility and container deployments / build recipes.

(In the Flake example above, we also see nixpkgs/nixos-23.05 and nixpkgs/nixos-unstable used as additional Flake inputs. NixOS Flakes support this -- but if hermeticism and reproducability are desired, then only a single nixpkgs.url tied to a specific commit hash via the URL technique shown above, would be used...)

You will notice that the "journalists" who wrote your story don't quote a single instance of these allegedly false claims. This is probably because there were none. Every single story I saw made it clear that these were allegations from Hamas, included whatever information was available from the Israeli government, and repeatedly stated that nothing was certain. There truly could not have been more accurate early coverage. The information simply did not exist.

This is the earliest version of that story I could find from Reuters.

https://web.archive.org/web/20231017192141/https://www.reute...

But you could definitely argue that that article repeats the claims from Gaza too uncritically, which is why it was updated within seven minutes of publication to make it clearer the reports were unsubstantiated.

https://web.archive.org/web/20231017195440/https://www.reute...

But that still gives a one-sided story. They say that the Israeli government has yet to comment. Which is why the story was updated again to include information from the Israeli military, arriving at this version within an hour:

https://web.archive.org/web/20231017202059/https://www.reute...

The fog of war isn't just in video games. As usual, the New York Times has a good article on this subject.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/18/business/media/hospital-b...

You might argue (and I would argue) that it is irresponsible to publish any story at all when things are so uncertain. The original story was accurate, but confusing rather than enlightening. That's why I don't read breaking news.

I don't entirely disagree with your criticisms. We can, and should, demand better from our papers. But the solution isn't to write off the best papers we have. People who refuse to read the Times invariably replace it with something far worse.

P.S. There were "around 500" deaths. The current estimates I've seen are 200-300, which is "around 500" when picking through rubble in a war zone.

If you go this route you will discover a world full of pain.

PDF's look nice on screen and/or printed, but internally they are not always so nice for data extraction (unless the creator specifically set them up to be data extracted).

Inside a PDF, the PDF structure is simply instructions to position font glyphs at 2D coordinates on a virtual sheet of paper. And depending upon how the creating system generated the PDF, it might be relatively easy to extract (the PDF was created left to right, top to bottom, and positions nothing smaller than whole words at a time) or a royal pain (each individual letter is independently positioned at a specific x,y coordinate [this is unlikely, but possible]).

If you intend to consume a specific PDF from a specific generator you'll have better luck (because you can adapt to that specific generators methods) but if you expect to extract from any pdf from any source you'll be constantly updating to cover for some pdf creator program's quirks that you had not seen before.
no problem. best of luck with your company!
Accuracy is not a proxy for Truth. Truth comes from transparency and completeness.

That is, just because something was reported truthfully doesn't mean we got the full story, or even the most important part of the story. Narratives are crafted with what they don't say as much as what they do.

This works well because it's very hard to point a finger at what isn't there. It's even more effective when so much is consumed so passively (read: no questions asked).

This use of opt-out is really an extreme edge case to be honest. There is such a heavy emphasis on civic duty, part of which is to vote in all kinds of elections, that even though the system might strictly be an opt-in voting system, everybody _expects_ you to have already opted-in. To be honest, as somebody not from the US, I don't even understand why you need to go through any hoops to vote. All of it just seems like voting suppression to me.

Anyway, this strong social expectation to vote is the only reason you can even remotely say that you are "opting-out" of voting.

Any other case, where a decision to be made only exists really as a feature in the UI, there is a much tighter relation between the implementation of the UI feature being by default on (thus "opt-out") and the way that we speak about it being "opt-out". If thus, by their own admission, there are things to opt-out of, then this is by definition an opt-out feature. Claiming the opposite is disingenuous.
Which for anyone diving in VMS manuals, it is quite similar in concepts.

As for COM all over the place, specially after Vista, the idea is great, the execution from multiple C++ libraries, and poor VS tooling, since the OLE 1.0 days not so much.

If there are no provisions at all for multi-server, sessions can be stored in local files, which would lead to probably pretty poor performance if they're thrown on an NFS share.

Happy to chime in - Love the discussion ;-) Disclosure: I am the co-founder of Strong Network - a Swiss company. We are using and selling our own CDE solution.

My background is in cybersec and I worked at Snapchat after they acquired my previous (cybersec) startup - first time I saw the concept of CDEs, naturally I thought - can we combine productivity and security? This is what Ozrenko (my partner and ex Snap as well) and I decided to do.

Along with all CDE management functions, we designed infrastructure security mechanisms that are transparent to developers and that make their life easier (I and Oz are developers) - we realized that, we can expand the concept with a load of DevSecOps automation and eventually, we've hit very novel code security practices that we embedded in the environment (and filed patents on them).

Our security is mostly to keep developers chill while protecting the org (and reduce infrasec cost ;-) : protect all resource access credentials from leaking (phishing and malware), we provide data loss prevention (IDE, web apps), we detect secrets and prevent sprawling, we detect external code pasting in the code base, etc. All transparently and no hassle for the dev team - everybody gets free SSO to any resources!

Most importantly, we have hardened the platform at very complex organizations such as Broadcom, SwissRe, Niantic Labs and others with our self-deployed platform - you can imagine the difficulty of running efficiently across WAF, traffic proxies, VDIs and SASE. Oz is the man for that.

So in summary - we have today the most advanced CDE platform that provides both efficiency and security for all your resources and assets. We are a Swiss company working world-wide (greetings from Tokyo this week), so if you are motivated to join us (any function), please let me know!

Sadly, we have not chosen a codename for the platform yet.
I'm wondering what the business model is exactly.

Or rather what it will become once the VCs who are paying for all this start the squeeze.

I'd be nervous about getting in too deep with tools from a company with what looks to me like an utterly unsustainable business model. The house of card will have to come down, won't it? You don't want your stuff to go down with it.

American libertarians do, not those everywhere. In the US they square it by saying that guns are a bulwark against the state going rogue and turning its own weapons on its citizens, but that in normal times (outside of civil war) guns are only meant for things like self defense in cases where the police can't get there in time, or hunting.

I think if you want to argue hypocrisy that's still a better place to start than with being an FBI informant, but the article isn't about gun control.

Yes, the advantage of ECC against RowHammer or RowPress attacks is detection, not prevention.

The attacks usually produce more bit flips than can be corrected by ECC, but the attacker cannot control the number and the position of the bit flips.

When a memory uses ECC (true end-to-end ECC, not the internal ECC of DDR5, which is useless against these attacks, because the errors are not reported to the OS), there are many more invalid memory bit configurations, than valid ones.

Because of this, applying a random pattern of bit flips to the memory is much more likely to be detected as an ECC error, than to be ignored. Computers with ECC are normally configured to scrub all the memory periodically, so the bit flips caused by an attack will be detected even in unused memory.

Because in a normal computer it is extremely unlikely to encounter more than one ECC error per day (either correctable or non-correctable), a decent operating system should immediately notify the user or the administrator in the case of repeated errors, which can appear only as a consequence of a hardware malfunction or of a RowHammer/RowPress attack (many servers are configured to send immediately an e-mail message or an SMS alert to the administrator when such events happen).

Therefore, on computers with ECC it should be impossible for such attacks to remain undetected, even if they can succeed to corrupt the memory.

I want the market to crash and correct as much as the next guy but thinking house prices are going to drop 80% is pure fantasy land. What's more likely to happen:

- Big corporations and billionaires hoover up the properties forcing more and more people to rent in the long term (you will own nothing and be happy)

- Companies are finally forced to raise worker wages which, through a variety of means, they have managed to suppress for decades.

The latter is what should happen but the former is what is more likely to happen, with all the evil that entails.
