I ran into the issue earlier when implementing WebAuthn. Realizing that user authentication was tied to a single device/ecosystem, I wanted to allow the user to register a second key -- but because their authentication was tied only to their existing physical authenticator, I had no way to authenticate the second machine without magic email link, or setting a password and logging into the second device, which seems to completely defeat the purpose.
I love this comment. I'm only 25 but had similar experience with shops around the city with lava lamps, those things really fascinated me when i was little. And your comment was beautiful it reminded me about those feelings

Two people being able to build the same source and get the same result, does not mean the source that was built was the same source the developer originally contributed. Signing git commits would be a great start, easier than what other distros do to solve the same problem. With reproducible builds in place, the biggest remaining risk is someone tampering with git history.

Also packages being built by a central party is actually a problem. What stops someone with ssh access to the build systems from tampering with the results?
Grind isn't always bad, infact if you're the type that gets into fancy companies you probably did a lot of grinding beforehand. It's the psychological environment of these prestigious companies that make them torture for some people.
Notation and terminology? Sure, some explanations and mechanical manipulations are elided in mathematics because with context they're clear.

Rigor? Ha, you have got to be kidding me. Math is rigorous to a fault. Typical computer programming has no rigor whatsoever in comparison. A rigid syntax is not rigor. Syntax, in turn, is certainly not the difficult part of developing software.

For years I've made little "for fun" projects and almost never shared them. So, here's the first project I've made explicitly to share with the world.

More specifics on some aspects of it are viewable here: https://twitter.com/backlitbytes

But basically it's 2D with a pile of CSS to make some things look 3D-er. You can unlock carts by finding them in various levels. Hold a (on your keyboard) to run! Open to thoughts / feedback. Thanks for checking this out.
During this, I worked at a major bank. I was a virus expert even prior to working at the bank, so my job was specifically dealing with viruses that might affect the systems in unexpected ways because it's a sure bet that no virus routine was written with Y2K in mind.

Nothing happened in that regard, but our war games showed things could certainly have gone awry if specific conditions were met, and we were quite ready for them.

It wasn't wasted time. Some of the developers played part in our war games, and learned some new things that they subsequently were always on the lookout for, but had never occurred to them prior.
Not defending the trolls, but this kind of abuse is part and parcel of merely being online and putting anything out there. I've received hate mail and even one death threat from just commenting on HN. Lots of unhinged (but ultimately cowardly) people out there who feel empowered by distance and anonymity. I don't know a single female internet user who hasn't been on the receiving end of absolutely vile anger and hate at least once. Thick skin is a must.

You have a point but need to drop the identity politics bullshit. Since when are women "underserved"? Men are far more likely to "tough it out" i.e. refuse to see a doctor when they have symptoms of illness, so by your logic they are the "underserved minority" in terms of gender. Claiming women are disadvantaged in literally everything ever is a groundless cliché. The racial angle may be less false (though not for the reasons you imply) but is still irrelevant to this story.
I have a 2070super GPU and realized that for most modern games, the bottleneck is my CPU. Seems like most games have pushed a lot of complexity to that these days.
I find that this is true about most non-fiction books I have read. Even when extensively cited, I often get the impression that the author is drawing large conclusions from small data.
One thing about CGA is that it was meant to be output via composite video instead of VGA-style RGBI. This video demonstrates the difference: https://youtu.be/niKblgZupOc?si=ASm2NFJx3I8Q9hTz
Server VGA output to HDMI capture input? Needs an active converter in that direction, not a passive pinout-changing one.
What is up with them releasing big new features and not even posting about them? Like adding image generation, and things like the advanced data analysis were barely announced.

Terence Tao's Introduction to Measure Theory [pdf]
If I were writing a story about this, I would have the IceCube / IceTop / DeepCore neutrino observatory be a cover-up for drilling deep sampling tunnels into the submerged alien ship, through which robotic probes would be deployed into the wreck. https://icecube.wisc.edu/science/icecube/ Perhaps in the story, there's a still-active hostile AI inside the ship and robots that are brought back up have been reprogrammed to hurt the human staff and then sneak aboard the medivac aircraft to reach the mainland and physically infiltrate key data centers, or something like that.
tl;dr: infected by bacteria.

> I think real world stress is something that academic institutions don't prepare you for.

Should it, though? Stress results from abuse and abusive working conditions, and a workforce should not be conditioned to take abusive relationships as normal or acceptable.

I argue the opposite and go as far as to claim that software developers are in a dire need of a union. Having to work nights and weekends should not be tolerated in any industry, which includes also FANG jobs.
Why is the author blaming older workers for not having a large inheritance?

Blackrock owns or invests in companies to raise (maximize) rents around the world. You might not even realize there's entire industries now to maximize what they can force people to pay for products, services, including raising rents.

Corps are squeezing every last penny from consumers, while mass inflation and sky rocketing interest rates.

Its a race towards the bottom with high prices while the corps make as much as they can.

I love a good migration post-mortem, thank you to the author for publishing it! There's a bit of extra detail I'd be curious to know, as someone completely unfamiliar with both Vercel & Fly.io:

Re: "we required a lightweight server" as one of the drivers to migrate -- how did deploying to Vercel impede this? What specific business/operational issues was this causing?

Re: migration issue of large container image -- what business or operational issues did the large container image size cause? Why was it necessary to shrink the image size, when it could be previously ignored?

edit: it appears that fly.io previously had a 2GB container image size limit, relaxed on 2023/08/11 to "roughly 8GB" -- https://community.fly.io/t/docker-image-size-limit-raised-fr...
You have a point. But what is the cause then? That the fight for survival and chasing a bit of comfort and relaxation is actually mentally beneficial? Certainly seems so
They're not arguing that google is a monopoly. Everyone, including Google, agrees that google has a 90%+ monopoly.

The whole point of the case is how google maintains that monopoly, mainly by paying hundreds of billions of dollars to make their product the default everywhere possible. It's (argued) that's the reason google remains at 90%+ market share despite their search product becoming increasingly useless.
Yeah, that excuse makes perfect sense if you don't think about it.
> You always "need" to care about the abstraction that your infrastructure is providing to you.

Sure. But as long as it implements something reasonable, you don't care about the details of how. "Runs version x of this programming language" is generally an easier abstraction to run business functionality on than "it's an x86-compatible computer".

> Now add background tasks or streaming responses or a cron job. Oh, guess what, you have to suddenly care about the options your provider is giving you, or go out and buy some stupid cron-as-service or ssh-as-service because you don't have any control over your infrastructure.

Cron is a terrible model for actually solving business problems with. Do you know what happens when a cron job fails to run/errors out?

Running your own unix system gives you a bunch of options that a higher-level abstraction doesn't, sure. But those options are rarely worth the cost, IME. (And like I said, if you're actually getting a unique value-add from running the whole server, then do it!)

> And now suddenly your infra is way more complicated than mine. I am still one that single dockerfile.

I guarante you that anything Docker-based is more complicated than what I'm doing. Docker is the worst kind of layer; it doesn't provide a consistent abstraction of its own, you still have to know all the ins and outs of how the unix system it's running on works, it just adds a whole bunch of extra concepts on top that you have to learn. And then sometimes breaks the usual rules of the platform it's running on as well! (e.g. silently bypassing your iptables rules).

> In fact I am wracking my brains right now to come up with anytime I had a problem because of having a server and coming up short.

- Your program runtime crashing because of mismatched system library ABIs

- A dependency you didn't expect is suddenly available because it got installed by the base system

- /var filling up because of out of control logs or the like

- Any other disk filling up for whatever reason

- Log collectors going AWOL

- Directory traversal order differing because two servers are using different filesystems

- Upgrade changed the network management commands and now all your traffic is being blocked

- Buggy RAID controllers

- Thermal throttling kicking in when it shouldn't because of a broken temperature sensor

- Power outages

All this stuff still needs to be fixed, but it's great to have it be someone else's problem and get on with your program.
According to this page at Cloudflare, their pricing is 50 cents per 1000, is that correct? Or is it a different product... https://blog.cloudflare.com/merging-images-and-image-resizin...

> "Yet they are not in widespread use; most devices have prioritized capacity/weight/size over longevity, Apple included. My current M1 has lost 10% of its capacity after just 120 cycles"

A simple way to significantly extend battery longevity is to limit charge to 80% (only charging to 100% occasionally when you know you might need it, like a long day travelling).

Unfortunately Apple doesn't yet provide this option on most of it's devices, other than the iPhone 15 line. But you can use third-party apps to do it on Macs.
Alan Wake 2 doesn't really have the option to disable ray tracing, only to disable hardware ray tracing. Software ray tracing is pretty good for diffuse GI nowadays.
The very first paragraph talks about a signing bonus. It is very common practice to claw back signing bonuses if you don't stay a predetermined amount of time. From the article:

Why would they need that on Cloudflare?

Since they didn't had to change much of their original functions to docker, if they would have switched to Cloudflare from Vercel directly.

That would have been a lot quicker for them to do...

Alternatively, Cloudflare supports hono which they moved too.

I think one of the major draws of D&D is that it lets you spend time with friend and acquaintances in a fun, yet emotionally charged situation. It's a third place.

I'm guessing this is also something that sports fans get out of watching games together, where the emotional highs and lows are important - but in D&D, you and your choices & actions are the source of those highs and lows, instead of watching someone else make those decisions.
That made sense in the olden times of a decade or two ago. Now, when you can not trust any software on your machine to refrain from exfiltrating telemetry—no longer. Even FLOSS is not enough.

Thankfully open-snitch is now available on Debian.
That will go against climate change (aka global warming) narrative. At this point, doing that is considered blasphemy to those hardcore left. I would reckon your take will only happen after carbon AND methane taxations are well in place and regulated like income taxes per business entities and per individuals basis. Total destruction is like economy public goods. No one will value it unless you can "fence" it as private responsebilities. Leonardo in Look Up was a great exposition of that indifference.
You’re right. It only attracts people who are excited for the work not arbitrage power.
It is not. Arrogance has nothing to do with curiosity. OP is going through serious trauma and anxiety. My guess is there are high chances asking questions led him to bad experiences in the past, and associated it with something bad. Asking someone to explain something is a normal and safe thing. No wonder why OP has anxiety disorders if he learnt otherwise during his childhood.

Here's a thought experiment people may or may not find helpful. If you're writing say a Flask app, what Flask is doing for you is routing a request to a function. That's where the core kernel of value is; the rest of what's going on is overhead you pay to wire your function up to what it needs, like a database connection pool and such.

So if you were AWS and you saw everyone running an instance of Flask, you might think to yourself, I could run one really big instance of Flask that everyone could share, and the economies of scale would mean I could charge a cheaper price.

And you as the software developer might think, well, I get paid to execute these functions, not to run Flask, so I might as well rent a spot in the big Flask. Then I won't have to spend time updating and maintaining the framework, I can focus on writing my functions.

This may or may not work out for a specific use case, eg maybe that database connection pooler that we threw out was load bearing and moving to serverless overwhelms our database or causes us to spin up more database servers and costs more money. YMMV.
> You never hear from the many others who would say it's a good or OK job, or even those who think it's not great but just aren't the type to get on twitter or write blogs about it.

Places like Amazon have a high regretted attrition rate. I think the average tenure is 3 years. Some teams see their team members rotated out in a span of a year.

The number of people that stayed is eclipsed by the number of people who got up and left.
You are very lucky. I don't think my urgent care even has an MD in the building anymore. Anything more than a cold or obvious case gets a "nothing we can do" and follow-up with your doctor. Anything mysterious but potentially severe gets you referred to the ER.
The operator of that service seems to be opposed to privacy. Those failures are intentionally caused when it detects certain privacy-respecting configurations, e.g., use of a DNS resolver that doesn't send EDNS Client Subnet information.
I'd recommend you use a stack that has pieces you know already.

The problem you've described is solvable with all sorts of tools, so the "fastest" path to something that delivers useful functionality isn't language- or stack-specific.

You'll find plenty of folks who'll assure you that their favorite tool FooBarWhatever written in Blub will make your application super-easy, but that only applies if you already know Blub.
Or we should be funding transit 100% from taxes because it's infrastructure that everyone benefits from (even drivers, because more transit, less other cars on the road).

You know what would prevent all friction? Making it free and properly funding it from public funding. It's literally one of those things where it doesn't matter who uses it because everyone benefits (if a rich guy gets on it for free, that's still good even though they "could have afforded it").

Absolutely. Luckily, the websites I scrape don’t change very often (ie, every 5-10 years based on Wayback Machine), and also a couple of them all use the same underlying legislation management system and APIs.

Well you're spending your Sunday staring at a screen on a venture capitalist's message board, having contributed nine comments in the last 24 hours. Where are you right now, exactly?
I've gotten used to it, but I never liked it because the direction of movement is decoupled from the direction of the camera. Moving the mouse left and right also swivels the camera around a moving invisible point looking inwards, instead of stationary around the character looking outwards.

Also, is the obstruction you speak of really an issue? Never had I thought "God damn, move over!" to the character I was controlling straight from above-behind in ye olde days.
We used to eat this stuff (and the vegetarian counterparts) while backpacking in the 90's. If you're putting on high mileage, you end up consuming 5000+ calories per day. Pemmican is one of those things that your body learns to love. The first time you taste it, though... and some folks never get used to it. There's probably a whole generation of Philmont boy scouts with horror stories to tell about pemmican bars.

Once my group went super high mileage, we just took tea, rice, vitamins (electrolyte powder wasn't popular yet), and iodine for water treatment. It's amazing how far you can go in a couple of weeks if you're willing to wear river-washed clothes, eat flavorless food, and lose 10-15 pounds in a go.

I'd always carry a can or two of spam, though. Ten or twelve days in, the guy with the salty canned "meat" is a bonefide hero.
The Ghosts of Gamma Cas
Exactly. And people who say apps are crap don't consider different types of people.

A more introverted person can't find people to meet at a club or a bar because they don't want to go to a club or a bar. That's who they are.

Gay people can go to gay bars but even those are rife with straight people now, and usually filled with the "scene" type gays that someone might not be into as well.

As an introverted gay nerd you can meet people organically in person but it's a considerably more difficult.
I definitely covered the column space and row space in my undergrad LA class, long before I had ever heard of Strang.

An exceptional minority of people has the ability to learn linear algebra in its full abstract generality as their first treatment of the material, and come away with something resembling an understanding.

The rest of us dopey oafs must develop intuition carefully from specific concrete examples that extend gradually from algebra and geometry that we are familiar with already. Those of us in this sad deficient category must be led painstakingly over several weeks of course material to even the basic idea that a matrix is just a particular representation and special case of something called a linear transformation.

If you are one of the former type, you are blessed, but it's unfair to sneer at the latter, and it will only do your students a disservice.

It's unfortunately been this way for a long, long time. Though it does seem to have gotten more frequent in recent years. I've been running PortableApps.com for nearly 2 decades and, in that time, I've been sworn at, harassed, doxxed, received death and rape threats, etc. My personal favorite was a user who accused me of donating a kidney to my father because I thought I was better than everyone else and to try to garner donations. Despite the fact that I donated it years before PortableApps.com existed. Just this week I had someone mad a meet for not updating an app due to the fact that I am recovering from a concussion.
