Another essay that didn’t address the inconsistency, I guess you got tired of running.
Do you mean it's a bad thing about the law? Or is a bad thing that is seeing the sunlight due to the law?
I do feel like the last remaining werido in my family with a standard drip machine. But why would I replace it with pod-DRM hell? It makes a perfectly good cup of joe, with the quality mostly impacted by the beans and whether or not they were pre-ground. So far, every cup of coffee I've had from a pod has been noticeably worse. And I'm supposed to pay a premium for these things? I'm not even a coffee snob and I can easily tell something went horribly, horribly wrong somewhere along the line.
They govern over non-citizens as well, e.g. over residents and visitors to the geography where the government has/claims sovereignty, but the non-citizens tend to get fewer rights than the citizens.
Maybe it's like that in LA or something, but in my samllish town in rural America the police are pretty upstanding great guys. They help do crosswalk duty for the kids going to school, they help people out who need a tire changed. I'm not saying policing doesn't have problems, but going from LAPD bad -> All police everywhere bad. Seems like a bit of a leap.
This is a great summary-by-quote, I feel fully informed about what to expect if I actually would read the full source text, and based on this excellent summary I am confident I can save reading it for when I've run out of things argue about.

Thanks for your thoughts - I might do uber or pick up a medical delivery route to supplement my income to make sure I don't burn too much of my emergency fund.
Just that in those unknown unknowns lurk many more memory safety issues, that we have not yet discovered and the longer we continue to run that code, the more likely we will some day get hurt by them. Also we don't know anything about safe code, until we have proven it to be safe, either mathematically (difficult!) or by proving a type system sound and using that for implementing things.
nope, the audio volume is too low but generally of better quality than most foss cons
It's been a long time since I've done ASM but do I understand it right that this implementation compiles each function and then executes it immediately? Or does it really compile the whole source code and then execute the binary generated?

And where is the compiled binary saved? Is it kept temporarily in memory itself for immediate execution? Or is the compiled binary saved back to the disk?

If someone could point me to the right sections of the code that answer these questions, it'd be of great help! Thanks!
PEP = politically exposed person ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politically_exposed_person

> In financial regulation, a politically exposed person (PEP) is one who has been entrusted with a prominent public function. A PEP generally presents a higher risk for potential involvement in bribery and corruption by virtue of their position and the influence they may hold. The terms "politically exposed person" and senior foreign political figure are often used interchangeably, particularly in international forums.

Best I could find.
To be fair, the first sentence states that it supports a subset of C.

>SectorC is a C compiler written in x86-16 assembly that fits within the 512 byte boot sector of an x86 machine. It supports a subset of C that is large enough to write real and interesting programs.

The post title could include this, but perhaps it's a little verbose.

In any case, agreed it's impressive to fit it in 512 bytes!

Thanks, I'm mostly confused when I don't even make it to the intro stage with a recruiter. This is why I'm paranoid that hiring managers see something structurally wrong with my work history.
Wow, this is directly going to affect my company in the near term. We had been trying to do it all internally but have found little success. Even at ~$3M it's going to be an attractive choice.
Food for thought: maybe because people try to make better than mediocre games, the average review score is higher than 5/10.
No, UEFI loads PE executables from a special partition called the EFI System Partition or ESP. There's no real size restriction there as far as I know.

Before the ESP is accessed, there is no standardized way to customize the boot process. You could put these kinds of sectorX toys into the firmware directly, which would come with more constraints, but it would be vendor-specific.

There is a platform-independent VM running a special EFI byte code that is part of the EFI specification, which allows you to extend the UEFI system with things like additional drivers, but those are also loaded from the ESP.
1. Find one feature of a language and argue that it's really not _that_ great because it introduces costs.

2. Never mention these costs and declare the whole language is "not particularly compelling".

Just as my own aside, before Rust, the "cost" of memory safety was either a garbage collector or infallible programmers.
Seems like something to do with your deployment server config. You may be redirecting all pages to your fallback spa.html. I built the site and served it with `python3 -m http.server --dir build` and it served the script to the browser without an issue.
Since the job listings are public it should be trivial to compile a public shame list of companies who still do not follow the rules in those states.
The stakes there (a penny) are far too low for the game itself to matter.

I'd say what you're witnessing is instead a debate about whether people are trustworthy or not, plus some attention/status seeking, preexisting social dynamics in the group, and people just having fun stirring up trouble.

It's just a coincidence that Maine has repeatedly reneged on its responsibilities stemming from those sections:

> If the constitutional commissioners who proposed the 1875 suppression of Section 5 intended to ensure the state’s obligations were forgotten, they were successful. Rather than protecting the Indians’ trust lands, Maine authorized some tracts to be flooded by dams, others to be annexed for the laying out of highways, and thousands more acres transferred to white owners. In no case was compensation given to the Indians, in violation of treaty obligations. In 1893, Maine courts even ruled that the Passamaquoddy tribe didn’t exist because it lacked sovereign powers.

Perfect is the enemy of good enough. If laws are found to have bugs, you keep patching them over time to close the loopholes.
Good luck with that.

I'm pretty sure that it has been the case in 99% of scenarios were consolidation always ended up in a shittier experience for the consumer and employees regardless of the promises the merging companies made.

But money talks at the end of the day.

“Most people – maybe more than you think – are peace- and love-seeking creatures who are sometimes caught in bad situations. The most practical thing you can do, even in hard times, is to lead with curiosity, lead with respect, work hard to understand the people you might be taught to detest.

“That means seeing people with generous eyes, offering trust to others before they trust you. That means adopting a certain posture toward the world. If you look at others with the eyes of fear and judgment, you will find flaws and menace; but if you look out with a respectful attitude, you’ll often find imperfect people enmeshed in uncertainty, doing the best they can.

“Will casting this kind of attention change the people you are encountering? Maybe; maybe not. But this is about who you are becoming in corrosive times. Are you becoming more humane or less? Are you a person who obsesses over how unfairly you are treated, or are you a person who is primarily concerned by how you see and treat others? ‘Virtue is the attempt to pierce the veil of selfish consciousness and join the world as it really is’, Iris Murdoch wrote.”
A big range like that means you should feel more than fine selecting the average— so $400k— at the minimum. Anything less and you’re essentially admitting you don’t think you’re worth what the salary range is.

Personally I would ask for clarification, and if they refuse to provide any, ask for near or above the top-end of the range. Theres plenty of $215k salary jobs currently, so if you happen to not land this one, then no loss of what you never had. But if you happen to get this job, making $700k, simply for asking, then congrats!
Thanks for making it a welcome space for SF tech folks.
The problem isn't "some people don't get that it's a joke". The problem is that it's a distasteful joke.
See this kind of thing here is what I think is a problem and has been a problem forever. We have two opposite laws on this,

1. Copying is theft (contents of a CD [software], movies, stuff on a website sometimes, etc)

2. Copying is not theft (VHS copies of broadcasts, cassettes, etc)

Problem is "implied license" (eula-roofie) where we've, without any good reason I think, decided that,

(a) Copying is theft when someone unilaterally declares what you buy to be different from the medium (CD vs what's on it [software, movie, etc])

(a)(2) except when it's a really old medium like a book which you're allowed to quote, and use in derivation, but don't you dare "quote a movie" by copying portions off that DVD or blu-ray because that's different. Shut up is why.

(b) Copying is theft when someone unilaterally declares their putting something up to view, which necessarily requires copying to view (sent over internet), can't be copied for derivative fair use

(b)(2) except when it's over another old medium like public broadcast because... fuck you? I haven't a clue myself how this makes any sense and I suspect it is because "it doesn't".

(c) Copying is theft if you take the copy sent you over the internet and do anything with it somebody unilaterally declares they don't want you to be able to do

(c)(2) except if it's an old medium, like a book, where you can borrow it and quote from it and do all the fair use stuff, or borrow a picture, or a painting, or...

All the fair use and copying and other sensible stuff without this weird "implied license" stuff doesn't exist for formats we've had before to the extent it does now. These formats, in principle, are still just "you get a copy of a thing on some medium", and yet we have two completely different laws based on this pure fiction of an "implied license" that declares you can't copy even portions of one on some format because... because.

I am trying, desperately, to explain there is fundamentally and in principle no difference. The root of all of our problems and why the law doesn't make any sense is the pure fiction that there IS a difference. And I feel like a goddamn madman yelling in the streets trying to explain something that feels so dog gon obvious to me but seems like is obvious to nobody else.
Would you say I'm being irrational by plucking this one quote out of the post?
YOShInOn fundamentally changes the relationship with RSS feeds in that I don't read 100% of what it ingests. In the last run (I do one every two and half days on average, I think) it ingested 7000 articles and sampled 300 to show me. That's a bit less than 5%. I have screens that let me see what came from particular feed, things that fall into automatically generated clusters (roughly "sports", "ukraine war", "neural networks", ...) and that the it thinks y'all (Hacker News readers) will upvote or comment on.

The main screen looks like TikTok for text, it shows me one article at a time that I can thumbs up or thumbs down.

Even in 2001 I was saying that "Failing RSS readers keep failing with the same failing user interfaces that always fail..." in particular anything with a "mark as read" button is putting an undue burden on the user, there is nothing inspiring about interfaces that look like a mail reader or a USENET reader or that have 20 boxes with a list of items in them for 20 different feeds.

Personally I want to subscribe to RSS feeds even if they aren't 100% great because my system does a very good job of filtering good stuff to the top so I am happy to subscribe first and discover later.
I'm not sure there's much to take away from this article. The author spends most of his words arguing against himself and then ends with a very confusing paragraph with a vague call to "understand what security means", a reference to "the growing movement toward legislation" (what legislation?), and the implication that we might be less secure, somehow. Maybe there is some subtext I'm supposed to know before reading, but on it's own, overall just incoherent.
Waze used to do the same thing to me on my morning commute. The worst thing was that the backup I was "avoiding" was itself caused by the merging traffic from that onramp, so Waze was perpetuating the vicious cycle.
>How is someone supposed to reasonably negotiate that role?

Get a competing job offer.

A minimum price lets labor sellers know if it is worth applying or not, and trends in supply and demand for that type of labor (based on which way the minimums are moving industry wide).
I know some human drives do that without Waze. It is a faster and legal route, why wouldn't the algorithm send you down that path?
Exactly. It was an illegal casino dressed up as "investment", while also ignoring the regulations on investment. Part of their explicit plan was to use the house rake to give enough money to politicians that they'd retroactively legitimize themselves. It was an enormous social negative.
Great as an employee approach. Not as good as a founder approach.
The right solution is to drastically raise the bar for obtaining a driver's license, and make it far more easy to lose one. Periodic testing and stringent enforcement of basic rules. Don't use your blinker when turning? No license for a year. Bobbing and weaving in and out of traffic like a maniac? Electric chair. (/s)
Spaces? As opposed to?
This is something I've worried about - when I apply to eng jobs I change my TPM role (which still had me coding quite a bit) to "product engineer". Which is accurate and my prev boss would back this.

Sprint was losing money for over a decade. There was no world where they would be an ongoing concern and jobs wouldn’t have been loss anyway
Be extremely careful and document everything - this happened to me with Amazon when I ordered a high end graphics card, and got an empty box. They said to send it back, but when they got it, forgot all about the part where I said the item was missing and claimed I didn’t complete the return.

Then they claimed to my credit card company I never requested a return.

Then they told the state AG that they had accepted my return when I filed a complaint (perjury!)

In the end, I lost 2500$ USD.

YMMV
Perhaps you could also use such a list to seek damages in states where the law allows for it (Washington state [1]) and provide the list to states where damages are not provided to encourage lawmakers to make the policy more robust.

wasm-bindgen is writing it's own ABI, but still involves a ton of auto-generated JS stubs running for you in the background. it works great! you would never know it's there, but it has a serious performance hit versus actual host object bridging (what we're working towards) since it has to keep serializing things over MessageChannels. You can read some about the auto-generated shims here, https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/wasm-bindgen/contributing/de... . And you can see that wasm-bindgen doesn't actually send objects into Rust, but instead has shims here: https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/wasm-bindgen/contributing/de...

Component Model is designed to eliminate the need for having this autogenerated rpc system & many of these shims, and let wasm itself actually hold references & invoke/use objects in a genuinely shared fashion.

At this point, policy should be that all officers have three redundant cameras on and durably recording at all times. If your cameras are ever all off at the same time that’s a breach and you are immediately off duty and must face a disciplinary review.
Build your own and share it.
This article is not very compelling. My main reservations with Rust are (1) the community (2) licensing culture. The community seems to have a drastically different culture compared to the earlier hacker culture, being weirdly obsessed with social justice and anti-libertarian. But this will probably be diluted the more people use it, so it is not a huge problem. The bigger issue is the tendency to use permissive licenses like Apache or MIT instead of GPL. By writing more and more new code under MIT/Apache it undermines the protections we get from GPL'd code. This boils down to a kind of friendliness to corporations and/or authority in general, which, imo, is dangerous to free software. I was also told that the justification for the permissive license is "I would like to get hired by a $BIG_TECH, and letting them use my package without requiring source release helps with that.".

It sounds like both of you do something very similar to what we do. Our data keys are themselves encrypted by AWS KMS. The data keys are decrypted and kept in memory on application startup. They are stored encrypted in S3.

>Ideally it should be illegal before 18, then parents don't have to worry about peer pressure or ruining children's social lives.

I am almost certain, but I cannot be sure because I am not a teenagerologist, but vague memories of decades past make me almost certain that peer pressure existed long before the invention of the cellular telephone.

A reasonable and rational age would be that where the parent trusts their child to operate semi-autonomously, leaving the house at will to travel to pre-approved locations and returning according to schedules set by the parent with no supervision in between.

In my case that was age 13. It is irrefutably and unquestionably impossible for a smartphone to be any more dangerous than some of the stuff I got up to at age 13, sans smart (or dumb) phone.

Imo the important information is the floor. If I could be offered an offensively low number after the trouble of applying and interviewing, I don't want to bother. The upper bound is at best for outlier rock star devs that might apply, at worst it's just bait or some arbitrary max.
Does Netflix do location based pay? Could explain that.

Not that I necessarily agree with location based pay scales. I haven’t really thought about this idea tbh. On one hand, a company can get location based pay scales simply by having an office in a different area. On the other, if you’re hired in San Fran and working remotely in (some much cheaper to live place) then it’s not really the same. Obviously, the state is benefiting much less from this scenario.
