Extremely passionate about classical guitar.

I played electric in high school and developed some chops in jazz band. Loved it, but like many others, dropped it completely in college. Years later, I moved to SF for a FAANG and had an impossible time developing a new friend group; I wanted to reignite my old love in a new style, so I filled the time with weekly lessons with a well-known teacher in the area.

Fast forward 8 years later, that hobby’s turned into an obsession, and I’m now playing at a fairly high level. Am studying privately with a conservatory professor (not SF), who’s trying to get me to join for a Master’s degree. I’m performing regularly at public events & retirement homes, streaming most of my practice sessions on Twitch/YouTube, posting progress clips to other socials, and even built my own metronome/practice journal app to track time & organize notes (mujoapp.com). I love it all dearly as a lifelong and infinitely-deep hobby.

That happens often. What does not is an entirely new com bundle being treated as the same app: https://apps.apple.com/ca/developer/x-corp/id296415947

This should have required a new App Store download. What's next? Is it open season now for CCP spyware shell corps to start buying up apps that get automatically replaced without user consent?

Not sure it will, maybe, but with Unreal and Unity, Godot is still far behind in 3d. As where with Blender there is no other alternative.

Godot is like years behind modern engine for 3d. And there is not a single chance it can keep up with Unreal which is used by everyone.

It can be an industry standard for indie / mobile game.
Appropriate eye protection does not provide 100% protection. Outside of a welder's helmet, maybe, even the best eye protection won't stop a reasonably powerful laser beam directed straight into your eye. It will reduce its intensity, though. The main benefit of wearing it is that even the diffuse, scattered light bouncing off of the walls is hazardous, and the eye protection stops that. Without it, you couldn't safely be in the same room as an operating laser even if the beam never comes near you.

If I had not been wearing it, there is an excellent chance that I would have suffered permanent vision damage. The eye protection I wore did exactly what it was supposed to do.

New Hampshire can print whatever copy of Maine's constitution that it wants.
It pretty much is. A government does govern two things, a population and a corresponding land area. You may try to have one without the other, but that would lead to massive problems because of the way humans and their home area interact.

If you govern a population without a land, you are practically instantly at war with some other population because both populations will want their way of life as well as their property rights enforced around the place they call "home". For a current example, see the palestinian exile population, who have a government but no land of their own, thus leading to constant conflict with their host countries.

If you govern a land without a population, you are lacking any kind of compass and attachment to values. Land alone is a dead thing, and a government cannot just be recruited from land, it has to be people doing the governing. Basically, there is nothing to govern without a society.

Citizenship can have a number of definitions, but the loosest one is something like "currently inhabiting the land area of that corresponding government". You may change those definitions, introduce various classes of citizenships, modify the ways in which it can be obtained. But for the aforementioned reasons, any definition that doesn't involve something like "a citizen is strongly associated with a land area and comes from a corresponding populace (governed by a corresponding government)" is a weak and fragile definition that will not last the test of time and human interactions. Note that the government part is in parentheses, because actually governments are far more interchangeable than population and land area.

This case against Rust is not particularly compelling:

1. It strawmans the pro-Rust case by suggesting that Rust is presented as a panacea.

2. It argues that because Rust can’t help with everything, it helping with an important issue (memory safety) is irrelevant.

The crux of it is basically this:

> But this is just throwing the baby out with the bath water. Clearly. Because we have tonnes of safe code, and no one knows why its safe.

We do know that it is safe. We know that it is memory safe. This rhetorical conflation of memory safety and some other form of safety is an issue.

> We need diversity in strategy. We need to actually understand what security means and how existing programs that ARE secure, are written that way.

Absolutely. And using tools that help eliminate entire classes of bugs is an important part of that diversity of strategy.

If it turns out that passing a data set through PyTorch creates enough distance between the source material and the resulting data set to invalidate copyright protections, it will be interesting to see what happens when somebody does that to AI companies' assets.

I wonder what the usage of that feature looked like since I'd imagine a lot of players don't have a physical keyboard hooked up at all times, and X is still a largely text-based social network. Given how many hard r's I've heard gaming, maybe this will actually make X less vitriolic.
Motorola 68000 CPU had no MMU so OS and applications ran in the same address space so anyone could do anything and a lose pointer could crash the whole box at anytime. This is true for all early Mac, Amiga and Atari. 68020 CPU was the same. There was an MMU only from the 68030 but still many OS didn't take advantage of it upon release.

Long overdue. I use both Waze and Google for long trips from MA to ME and despite Boston being a clusterf*ck every. single. time. These apps will routinely behave like they've never seen rush hour (or any hour) of Boston traffic.

It always baffles my mind that these apps consume mountains of data, each day about traffic flow, yet can't predict slowdowns. I have one, human speed brain and I could probably estimate traffic jams better than Google/Waze.
Sometimes, though, an extreme diet to lose weight can allow you to make some lifestyle changes (such as exercising regularly) that do have lasting impacts. Being significantly overweight can really make physical activity difficult and demoralizing.

I agree that it they often aren't sustainable and need to transition into a more sensible long-term diet.
Now lets quantify how many of them are absurd listings.

Recently saw a Senior Security Engineer role for Netflix, $100-$700k salary range.

How is someone supposed to reasonably negotiate that role? $100k is clearly a joke, $700k is clearly a salary someone got during the bubble.

Do I come in at $400k? Is $250k a bargain rate?

I don't think this can be understated. I didn't pay income taxes for two years. Not because I was dodging them, but because I was going through a divorce, single-parenthood, and depression and was barely able to hold onto my job.

2 years later, I got my shit together, paid back taxes and fees (I had the money all along), and it was easy... when I had the bandwidth for it. I just couldn't at the time.

Most things are easy in isolation, it's having patience for someone-who-can't get-your-one-simple-thing-right-because-they-have-too-many-other-simple-things-on-the-go-right-now that is hard.

So I'm not sure entirely followed that. I think there's a significant thread of frustration with portions of the community that push rust as the end all be all that has to be used everywhere (or at least it really does feel like that sometimes), and I'm sympathetic to that (I tend to be in the camp of "if you can use a language with managed memory than just do that"). But I really don't understand the thing about unknown unknowns. And maybe the part before that? I mean, it would be interesting to talk to the OpenBSD developers and see why they don't have a track record of shipping memory vulnerabilities, if that's the intention.
I think it would be more accurate to state that the Prime Minister's power and authority exist at the pleasure of the British Monarchy. Legally, the British Monarch, and by extension, the Governor General of Canada has ultimate authority over the Canadian government.

I'm amazed Canada has retained this system of government for so long.

It all depends on the rulers respecting the spirit of the law more than twisting and revising the letter until it becomes oppressive.

Unfortunately we've not had anyone who respects our liberty for some time. It's a shame - I think the 'loose arrangements/don't be legal-heavy' approach is what brings the most freedom, you're let alone and the common law governs interactions only when necessary. I am sure someone can point out why it isn't perfect but it is much more preferable to many other governments.

Now that feeling that the government is more on our backs is growing. (Online "safety" bill? What in Blighty!? Who asked you to decide what was "safe" for me??)

Interesting to see how it plays out conversely in the US, where it was all written down in what the founders thought was unambiguous language, but now the goal is to stuff the Supreme Court with judges who will interpret the constitution with a bias towards the way your side prefers.
Yep, the modern view is that injuries happen due to doing too much too soon rather than any technique problems. Either way injuries are super rare if you follow a program with a good build up of stress over time.

> People are picking on that lede tweet somewhat unfairly. Numbers in the rest of the article say that the same benchmark run between the two "pro" variants improves only 6%. And that's actually quite disappointing for a chip that's supposed to be a on a new semiconductor node. Not a lot of people make a laptop purchase decision over 6%.

The M3 Pro has been neutered - the normal M2 Pro* was 8 Performance + 4 Efficiency cores (same as the Max) whereas the M3 Pro is just 6 P + 6 E cores.

If you want the full complement of CPU cores on the M3, you have to get the Max variant.

*There was a special 'low' end M2 pro that only had 6 + 4 cores.
I hate this so much. Humans are a disease when considering only things like this.

What authority does any human have to neuter animals at random? Why? Because they will suffer? The kick them out to the wild if you don't want to see their suffering, let them adapt to there.

Few things disgust me more than cruelty disguised as kindness. You can own an animal, you can kill one but only for food or clothing and other survival needs but no one has the right mutilate animals and leave them to linger on.

The problem is humans now have weapons, pesticide and tech to fight off things animals would have helped is with and this is our response. You don't need sterlisarion and kill shelters, animals either starve to death or adapt and move out to areas where they can find food/prey. If you are worried about the ecosystem in a city, donate to a zoo so you can look at whatever animals you want, humans and their pets decimating a city's ecosystem is a natural outcome of the human-animal ecosystem!
Our insistence in regulating ecosystems is what is unnatural. Leave the animals be, get comfortable with strays in your city like some cities already are (istanbul and i hear rome too).
The scariest thing about the salary transparency laws is that it makes it blindingly obvious that companies do not regularly follow the law. Adherence is both very public and easy, but imagine all the other laws being broken all the time that aren't as trivial to comply with.

Except for all the times that happened – like when the High Court ruled that this passage of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (amending section 76 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008: marked F3 and F4), creating a new category of “grossly disproportionate force”:

> [F3 (5A) In a householder case, the degree of force used by D is not to be regarded as having been reasonable in the circumstances as D believed them to be if it was grossly disproportionate in those circumstances.]

> (6) [F4 In a case other than a householder case,] the degree of force used by D is not to be regarded as having been reasonable in the circumstances as D believed them to be if it was disproportionate in those circumstances.

does not “give householders carte blanche in the degree of force they use against intruders in self-defence” (ref: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43652308) – in essence, making the legal situation basically the same as before this amendment was made. (Apparently the lawmakers didn't quite understand how a “self-defence” legal defence worked in court, when they were writing this one up.) As I understand, as of the ruling, there's no legal distinction between “disproportionate force” and “grossly disproportionate force”.

Sure, the High Court didn't overturn it… except for the part where they basically did. They also “quashed with prospective effect” an amendment to primary legislation (the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988) made by a statutory instrument (The Copyright and Rights in Performances (Personal Copies for Private Use) Regulations 2014). There are many other instances of primary legislation on the books that manifestly say one thing, but that according to the High Court mean something different.
> “What the fuck are we doing in the cases where there are no vunerabilities?”.

Keep using that software? I mean, as an example, I don't really think anyone is rushing to re-implement sel4 in Rust because of security, or to re-implement sqlite, which has an obscene level of testing that is likely ~on-par with Rust's own memory safety guarantees.

So the answer is "don't do anything".

Of course, deciding that something is safe is really hard. I used two examples where the work is or borders on formal verification.

> How you write code, how you design code, what environment you are in, what your domain is, what the complexity of your problem is. None of that matters.

This just isn't true, and it's kind of a confusing argument. First off, Rust is designed with C-interop in mind exactly so that you can partially replace some components in pieces. That's how Firefox has adopted Rust - in places where you can't afford to thinking "well maybe it's secure already".

> How much program wisdom, when it comes to how to design a memory safe program, is being chucked out the window to pursue a “security by language design” approach?

Basically none, speaking as someone who has some security knowledge.

> Having a “secure by design” language SPECIFICALLY to the detriment of everything else is not going to solve your security problems.

Total straw man here, in no way is Rust to the detriment of other security processes, in no way does it obscure our ability to leverage other techniques. Ironically, it's quite the opposite - Rust has been able to leverage dynamic analysis like clang sanitizers for ages, it's pushed fuzzing from "a thing security people do sometimes" to "a library that devs actually use", and even has tools for formal analysis of code (miri). Rust has been eager to adopt new mitigation techniques like safestack or CFG. Rust is far more than language safety.

Skipping over the analogy bit because analogies are a waste of time.

> We need diversity in strategy.

We have it. Rust already does this.

> We need to actually understand what security means and how existing programs that ARE secure, are written that way.

No one disagrees with this.

> Because we could end up in a less secure future, where nobody understands why, with red tape that prevents you from finding out why.

Totally unsupported claim here tbh.

Anyway, I found this all very uncompelling and it sounds like someone who isn't super familiar with computer security opining on the matter.

Beyond that, the value proposition is far more than "Safer than C/C++".
Big tech salary postings are mostly useless, because bonus and stock aren't included and could be more than half of total comp.
I'm shocked to see it's that high.

I'm simultaneously shocked to see it's that low in states that require it. I suppose I shouldn't be — no law is obeyed 100% afterall — but I would have expected higher than 60%. This makes me think there needs to be higher penalties for failing to follow it.

I often see "discriminatory" used as if it proves something irrefutably. When I don't go to a shop where employees are rude, I certainly do practise discrimination on the basis of communication culture. Also I enjoy my customer's rights, and do the right thing by creating incentives for politeness. There are discriminations which are legal, and illegal, moral, and immoral, pragmatic, and useless. And everything in between.
The internet and globalization of markets and cheap shipping has taken a lot of the wonder away. It used to be a friend would go to Japan and come back with this absolutely futuristic walkman that simply wasn't available in the US market, and looked like nothing you had ever seen before. That's not really a thing anymore, and to the extent that it is (there are still products that aren't sold/marketed worldwide for various reasons), you can always just buy it on eBay or something.

Without the European conquest, the Wabanakis may have actually been crushed by the expanding Iroquois Confederacy. Hence they, along with other Algonquin nations, joined the Americans in the Revolution, while many Iroquois sided with the British.

The Penobscots, one of the member nations of the Wabanaki Confederacy, have never been displaced from Indian Island (since settling there ~11k years ago), and acquired significant additional land holdings since the 1970s.
This is an often proffered limitation of these laws, but there are second order effects. If someone hires a woman, minority, whatever else, at the $100k rate with the same qualifications they typically hire X group at the $700k rate, they're going to have some 'splainin' to do.
It should be treated like Consignia.

(Consignia was the name the Royal Mail (the UK Post Office) briefly, bafflingly adopted in 2001. Everyone completely ignored this, and they quietly changed it back a year or so later. The early noughties were _weird_.)
Seems to be worse than overfitting, because in this realm inconsistency is crucial.
