Or more specifically, it assumes that those two systems remain completely separate from one another.

In reality, as the system for maximizing shareholder value can interact with the system creating the regulations. Thus:

> in practice regulation was often faulty

wasn't a coincidence of a situation, but rather was a direct result of the shareholder-value-maximizing machine working towards the removal of regulations that hindered shareholder value.
While I agree with your point in general, I don't think the choice of wording is "the problem" here. But I do agree your wording is more correct.

It is almost impossible to prove a program is "correct". But things like memory safe languages, static typing, and automated tests allow us to prove the ways in which it is not "incorrect". And the more places it is not incorrect, the more likely it is to be correct (even if we can't prove it).
You should just wait until the research has been commercialised then.

That way your time is not being wasted and the rest of us can continue to focus on disseminating knowledge as early and often as possible.
Sounds like it would be wildly unpopular and politicians would mess with your figures to get votes, even when that would ruin the budget. Sometimes specifically to ruin the budget because what they really want is to reduce/remove those services.
My very first language was Pascal. I have since forgotten it, but distinctly remember the feeling computers are fun! And the red pascal book. Thank you Niklaus, for all the fun and impact you had on subsequent languages.
Biggest market for BSDs is the server one, so it's a simple lack of demand.

SELinux can be somewhat classified as an app firewall but it's a policy framework after all and that suited for that.
It's pretty good. Epic added it as part of Unreal Engine to replace their previous hot reload system, which was more similar to the alternatives that people are mentioning here. That previous hot-reload didn't work as well as live coding, was less stable.

Simple dll reloading can work great if you separate state from logic, like shown in handmade hero. If you cannot enforce that then live++ is a good alternative.

Too bad there's no linux support.

I'm a highly adaptable Software Engineer with a focus on back-end development. I'm actively seeking for freelance or part-time development opportunities to contribute my expertise and continue my professional growth. I've been coding in for 7 years and I'm excited about putting bringing a wealth of experience in the development projects.
If you or someone you know is looking for a skilled developer, I would love to connect and explore potential collaborations. Feel free to reach out to me.
> the owners aren't in the business of listening in on their customer's conversations and picking fights with them.

Customers can complain about other customers to waiters and restaurant owners. That can happen in person, in reviews, or on customers' blog articles (you know, like the articles they post on Substack, if Substack lets them). "I overheard that other customer saying that waiters get paid too much." "4 stars. I'm reluctant to keep going to the restaurant though, because the waiters do nothing about loud customers." "That restaurant doesn't kick out people wearing Nazi symbols. Boycott it." A customer's suggestions can be unreasonable. The owner can ignore (un)reasonable suggestions. The waiter can ignore (un)reasonable suggestions and decide not to let the owner know about them. But kicking out a customer on the basis of customer complaints isn't necessarily less valid than kicking out a customer who hasn't attracted complaints from other customers or letting a customer who has attracted complaints stay.
Modula-2 had a huge influence on my early understanding of Software Engineering and Computer Science. I feel it is one of his under-valued contributions. RIP Niklaus. One of the great ones.
If the people you're paying to find weaknesses in the security system are assuredly never going to find a way to access internal data then how did you conclude you needed a pen tester in the first place? I mean, it's probably the right conclusion but only precisely because they'd find a way to access things they shouldn't be able to.
Just a reminder that despite whatever their front page advertises, while your account will be marked as "deleted" (23andMe still retaining your email address and some other pieces of information), your genetic data won't be deleted:

> 23andMe and the contracted genotyping laboratory will retain your Genetic Information, Date of Birth, and sex as required for compliance with legal obligations, pursuant to the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 and California laboratory regulations.

> 23andMe will retain limited information related to your data deletion request, such as your email address and Account Deletion Request Identifier, as necessary to fulfill your request and for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

And that's why I don't use 23andMe, even though I'm quite interested in the product and was super tempted to buy. Just because it's not future-proof, and that's a deal breaker.

If you know of a DNA sequencing service that can do its job, send the result, then destroy every sample and every bit of information they had (save, possibly, for the payment receipt), please let me know. Don't care about ancestry, relatives and other social stuff, just the raw genetic data.
At one point, SELinux being on by default made one of the Red Hat distros a pain. This high-friction first impression cost them some adoptions, when an IT manager did a test install. A "softening guide" might've helped.
"programmers won't use our poorly designed system therefore the programmers are wrong"

Windows registry is in itself insecure. Applications can't own perms to their own entries.

Look at what people are using and optimize for that. Clearly the intended system is wrong, and ego death is necessary to create real fixes.

The easy and expected fix being that applications get perms for their own folder, rejecting 3rd party by default.

The proper larger solution being open code signing. But MS and friends are making big cash so they don't care.
The new Cybertruck is an exceptionally bad example of this, where the taillights are replaced, not augmented, by both the brake and turning signals:

Deploying an ML/Data Orchestrator on GCP in Minutes with Terraform
Being able to run ANY Docker container directly in the browser is incredibly useful. The most obvious application is educational environments - this makes it trivial to provide all sorts of software for students to tinker with without needing to run any server-side code anywhere, just some static file hosting.
Sure, but without going too deep into hypotheticals, think of a group of neo-Nazis talking in the middle of a restaurant dining room or at the bar, sufficiently loud enough to be overheard by staff and patrons.
I've been working on white noise app for a bit, but with a slightly different focus. While it's maintaining the same core points (limited bullshit, hopefully clear interface, sound staying on with phone screen being off) it addresses problem I constantly found myself having with every app: if I want to switch anything, I have to go back to the webpage/app and there goes some of my focus. Link: https://stimulantnoi.se/

So I made an app focused (hehe.) on ease of switching between noise intensity. There's a long explanation why it's important if you want one (https://incentiveassemblage.substack.com/p/why-is-nobody-ser...), but if you're the kind of nerd who knows about 'flow state' and 'Yerkes-Dodson law', you pretty much got everything covered. The core point is: if intensity of your main activity is changing, your background noise should too, so that you maintain the same total level of arousal. Most likely double so for ADD people.

My current solution is to use media buttons (forward/backward) to control intensity. It took much more work than you'd expect to get media interface to do this without breaking currently playing sounds. In general anything that isn't 'Play this sound' works much worse than one would anticipate with how prevalent media is on the internet - I see ambiphone does the same thing with playing sounds separately, but you saved yourself from managing media interface, so I can't quite tell how much pain exactly you have experienced with this.
I started my first company based on Delphi, which itself was based on Turbo Pascal. Wirth was a great inspiration, and his passing is no small loss.
May his work keep inspiring new programmers for generations to come.

One of his quotes: "Whereas Europeans generally pronounce my name the right way ('Ni-klows Wirt'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nick-les Worth'. This is to say that Europeans call me by name, but Americans call me by value."
Essentially yeah but it’s currently opt-in from the app developer. I believe (but may be wrong) that an app which doesn’t implement AppContainer isolation can currently access the data written by apps that do implement it. I think the intention is for it to become the default one day.
Looks like he had a good sense of humor too.
The pipettes I worked with in school 30 years ago were effectively glass straws with a mark for the designated volume. One dipped it in the solution over the mark, used the thumb to seal it, and then carefully let tiny amounts of air in to drop the bottom of the miniscus down to the line.

It was terrible and nothing ever worked and my thumbs hurt.
EU agriculture is an entirely pretend market heavily subsidized for self sustenance - few countries will depend on other states for basic foodstuff, no matter the price. Ukraine joining will not change that.

China has been saying it for 50 years, so that is just status quo.
Move to another country. Open a LLC and work as a contractor via your firm. Bootstrap a B2B startup, you seem to have valuable skills you can bring to market. There are many solutions but they do require you to make a hard trade off.
Property owners already pay property taxes to fund infrastructure. Larger developments pay more in taxes (and the residents who live there pay income taxes etc.)

"Impact fees" are just a way to discourage new development.
It appears so, which would mean it could probably work with only minor changes on other boards.

Not the person you replied to, but… Microsoft apparently revealed that GPT-3.5 Turbo is 20 billion parameters. Gemini Pro seems to perform only slightly better than GPT-3.5 Turbo according to some benchmarks, and worse in others. If Gemini Pro is significantly larger than 20 billion, that would be embarrassing for Google. If it is significantly smaller, that would be good for Google.

It seems reasonable to me to assume it’s somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 billion, but I agree it is worthwhile to recognize that we don’t actually know.
There are also air traffic recordings. Those are very lengthy streams.

Nice work, BTW.
I became self-employed in early 90s after moving to a very different job market (difficult to get work without connections).

I stayed self-employed after my wife's disabilities started impacting my schedule. By the time my wife moved on, I had reached the ageism stage of my career.

I'm still self-employed. Being uninsured sucks but the schedule is pretty okay.

It doesn’t have to grow %x to give great shareholder returns. It can stay the same size and make the owners very rich.

Further, the best way to grow %x for a long time is to provide quality. Shittification is a short-term strategy.
If you have got the time and energy, why not start creating an application related to the area you want to work in? It will be a positive at any interviews. Maybe it will bring you some new contacts or consultancy work. And if it gains traction you could start your own business.

(I've run my own 1-man software business since 2005. But I realize it isn't for everyone.)
I feel like to some extent the problem here is the dynamic linking model that is almost universally used. If programs were designed from the perspective of the linker, then the linker could maintain a graph of function dependencies and have a cascading invalidation upon update. It is hard to retrofit this onto a project that is already a standard make based project.
Most of Paris as we know it was built in the 1950s and 1960s. Especially in the 1970s French politicians took on ambitious public works projects in Paris.

Most of the housing and most of the population was obliterated in the late-1930s through the mid-1940s, as you might recall. Two-thirds of the city's population had fled before the German invasion started even.
Agreed on the first point and good context. Tempted to lump it in with “great responsibility.” Doesn’t just apply to physical size, if you are a CCW it’s important to take extra care to avoid situations you don’t want to be in like someone else (cop or otherwise) thinking you’re a threat when you’re not

On the second point, may I ask do you have big muscles?
I don't know. I've lived in both the Netherlands and Japan, and studied the culture (and language) of the latter. In my experience, groups of Japanese people defer to authority in the case of an emergency with a minimum of fuss, where a group of Dutch would show much more hesitation, scepticism, and sometimes outright hostility in a similar situation.

You're welcome to call that reductive occidentalism.

As a group people from those cultures behave totally differently. I'm not judging either culture with this observation (although I can be quite critical about some aspects of both); it's a simple observable fact.
Have you contacted https://www.nextchapterproject.org/?

If this is coming from either Buddhist or Stoic traditions, both of those strongly emphasize practice and right action. You achieve a calm flow of happiness through right thought and right deed. Maintaining peace in chaos or pain doesn't mean chaos and pain are indistinguishable from other external circumstances, even to a Ruling Mind.

There are excellent reasons for traditions of monasticism to exist, for instance, and to often prescribe activities and mandate separation from common sources of chaos and distraction. There's such a thing as doing enlightenment on Hard Mode, and practically nobody can manage that. Thought and deed, and circumstances that tend to come about by right deed and by choices made in attempting to bring about a calm state of being, are vital to long-term practice.

Neither tradition is delusional, in this way.

He's written about it here.
In Singapore, LKY suppressed the communist party and their patsies to prevent a communist takeover of Singapore.

Puritans back in the old days were basically the Taliban, oppressing anyone who disagreed with their beliefs and way-of-life. They were pretty successful overall.

In Syria, Assad successfully crushed a revolt and is still in power by suppressing speech etc.

In the Arab world, the Arab Spring was successfully squished in multiple countries.

Communist China has been relatively successful by restricting speech.

"In the right" is probably the wrong metric, because it's meaningless. "Succeeded in its goals" is probably a better way of categorizing whether a specific tactic is successful or not. And success depends on the timeframe as well.
This doesn't actually happen, it's only possible when there's a sexual component.

You hear the concept a lot, because it's a cover - "I'm on the sex offenders list, but I was just peeing. Didn't realize it was a playground, whoops!" is different from the true "I raped a girl, and despite the incredibly high burden of proof in that charge I was convicted, and now I have to tell you about it because I moved next door."

Didn’t they invent GUIs by isolating the creative techies from corporate BS at their own campus on the far side of the country and let them run wild? At which point the corporate folks completely failed to commercialize on their inventions?
It wasn't when I tried it earlier.
In some contexts, yes.

No need to be sarcastic-by-allegory.

Are you using `pip freeze` / `pip list --format=freeze` to capture the state of a working environment?

What size system are you working on that you get into difficulties in upgrading a subset of project dependencies? It's often easier to upgrade by re-capturing the currently-contemporaneous set of dependencies, (and then diffing the new output of `pip freeze` with the previous one to see what's changed), than it is to manually follow the dependency graph when updating a single component.

As always, YMMV.
> Being born in a place is a lottery with random chance deciding the rules for you. Sure, as an adult, you can potentially choose to leave for the less green pasture and live in an urban environment of city designed for other means of transpo if you're one that doesn't mind moving away from their entire familial support structure. Not say it can't be done, but people just assume these decisions are something people are willing to make just because they did. It's nonsensical.

Nobody in this subthread is saying anything to that effect. This thread was prompted by someone asking why anyone would want to live in a [car-free] urban environment in the first place. The ability to do so is implied by the question, not something being prescribed by edict.
So you're saying there's hope for Tesla after all? The latest MBP might well be the best laptop Apple has ever built, and it's definitely a contender for best laptop anyone is selling. Though admittedly 'best' does vary somewhat with context.

Immigrants have a lot of motivations. Jobs are one, but unless the immigrant was recruited for a specific job (which is common) it isn't primary. There are jobs everywhere, even in blighted cities.

Immigrants with no particular job in mind look for places where the cost of living is low: they tend to have much worse job prospects than normal, so a minimum wage job in a low cost of living area is better life than double minimum wage in a high cost of living area.

Immigrants often have poor English skills (or whatever the local language is). They often are used to food not common in the country. So if they can find a community of other immigrants that means people they can comfortably talk to, and also makes it more likely that someone can figure out the process of getting food they like into local stores.
Easily one of the best books I read last year, and probably the one that had the biggest lasting effect on the way I look at things.
I think your $400 a year might be a bit of an outlier. Personally I would say the $140 I'm spending per year via KU is probably more than I was spending before. If you multiply this out by the number of people with KU subscriptions it wouldn't surprise me if that's actually more money flowing directly to authors than before.

RIP Mr. Wirth. The first programming language I ever learnt was Pascal, that brings me fond memories. A big loss for the computer science community.
Pascal was the second language I learned after Fortran. I didn't particularly like Fortran but Pascal really hit home and motivated me to learn C.
I also feel empathy. My "sad" is more about the state of the community than the author's own attitude.

But still, even in the current climate, I think this is going too far. The whole paragraph after the part I quoted is just as bad.
