These type of articles are always fun, though I mistakenly thought they meant Discord was running on a single hardware server, that would be fun to read. Though considering they run on BEAM they can spread out the workload plenty. Still, I remember when the hard limit for a Discord used to be 1 million, and then along came MidJourney.

It's funny how in hindsight simple changes to major web applications have a major impact. I remember, Tumblr used to show you every statistic about your blog on the dashboard, that meant every single time someone hit the front-page they had to query the latest data to show you your follower count. Sometime after they removed it from the Dashboard, I noticed Tumblr went offline / down significantly less, I doubt that was the only optimization they did, but I presume they did loads of optimizations to their platform at the time.

The unfortunate thing is that they can change it at anytime. So you basically have to avoid airlines that have the MAX in their fleet, such as Southwest.
Yes, I was speaking specifically of the US.

I'm sure it's possible with a lot of bigger banks. As you say, I assume a lot of smaller, local banks consider it a headache not worth it as the profit to them is miniscule.
I like the idea of this, but in a way it seems like going on to a website to enter your password to see if it was involved in any leaks. And that makes me uneasy.

A system like this would be so much better if all the scanning was done locally, keeping the source private from leaking at all.

For your first point, we're not responsible for detecting what is vulnerable (or even exploitable). Today there are 4 categories of vulnerabilities in software:
1 - CVE's which you've mentioned around updating dependencies. This requires the least amount of context to detect, and it's easiest to change but requires a lot of context to fix downstream dependent code.
2 - CWE's which are common weaknesses in software. This requires a medium amount of context for detection and a small to medium amount of context to fix.
3 - Business and code logic flaws. This is currently unserved by most tools, and this is where the wide variance between code bases is. This requires a lot of context to both detect and fix, and it's what most people think of when it comes to your first point.
4 - Misconfiguration of environments.

Currently, we've focused on CWE's because of how focused and isolated some of the fixes are in relation to items #1, #3 and #4. We've run thousands of tests and see a very high accuracy in results. We do have plans to support #1 after we feel accomplished with #2. This requires more sophisticated tools and logic to handle upgrade changes safely.

At the moment, the responsibility is on the SAST tools at the moment to perform these detections. We've heard a lot of complaints about false positives and it's probably one of the biggest problems in the industry. We have future plans to tackle both detection and prioritization, but that's a separate thing.

To comment on your second point, Dependabot and other code-gen products like ourselves, code ownership will be impacted. I believe our understanding of code ownership will change fundamentally as more of these tools come out and get adopted. One clarification point, Corgea doesn't auto issue PR's like Dependabot does. Someone needs to look at the fix, before issuing a PR.

Thanks for commenting, and it's definitely a different perspective on meaning value. For other code-gen tools like copilot, where do you think the value is then?
All of my non-phone devices are Linux. I like the separation there. Phones are not really good devices for working on, and as a result, aren’t that fun to tinker with. I’d rather just leave it locked down.

The app based model that phones use is kind of crap. I will happily pipe together a bunch of little scripts and programs in bash to make a workflow for my niche usecase. But, phone apps don’t seem to focus on inter-operability. As a result, in the phone ecosystem you just have to find an app, or the task is basically impossible. If I’m not going to use third party store, and there are fewer apps in the official App Store, I’ll probably use my phone less.

On the bright side, maybe making the phone ecosystem worse will open up room for more proper Linux phones with the full desktop suite of tools.

Sorry :) Pandas is undisputed king. But there were multiple bindings from Python into R available in the early 2000's. Some like rpy and rpy2 are still around, others are long defunct. I concede that these weren't standalone dataframe libraries, but rather dataframe features built into a language binding.

This triggers some strong haptic feedback in my heart about one of the best games I've played in my childhood (in addition to Super Mario, Double Dragon, and Metal Slug). It was a NES game called Moai Kun, and it is being featured on the site under: https://moai.games/moai-kun/

I never made it to the end, so when I grew up, I looked in YT to check if anybody does, and of course, if the Tetris was beaten by a teenager (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38841080), why not Moai Kun?! A full gameplay can be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJiIfSniWIU

Still plenty of stay-home moms who raise the kids and make the home.

I ordered from Aldi for the last time yesterday. The cheese was flavorless, I ordered 3 kinds. The kids reject the Nutella substitute. Their cereal is made from 70% cardboard. Produce is good but all Aldi brand stuff that I have had is trash.
Both cost time, which is finite and precious. Stress reduces the amount of time you have available - if all of your time not working is spent destressing, you're not much fun to be around, and that impact your ability to make and retain friends
Aldi pays top salaries, but also expects top performance. An adage goes that they pay you 1.3x the salary of a normal store employee, but expect the performance of 3 employees;-)

They were know for doing cashier drills in the pre-barcode age: you had to sum up a shopping cart filled with certain products and report the sum plus time needed. Even now cash desk time per customer is measured - with crazy outcomes, e.g. AlDi cashiers putting groceries in the shopping bag for elderly people so that the dont block the queue too long.
Eh, these are implementation details.

But how can those stores effectively compete while being controlled by the same entity? The EU breaking up Apple into separate companies for each "store" because of this argument would be pretty funny, though.

This doesn't seem correct. I checked a few flights I have coming up and it identified a United flight as not being a MAX, when United itself tells me it is. And it identifies a Southwest flight as being a MAX when it isn't.

> You misunderstand the law. Common sense is bedrock defining feature of the law.

But common sense isn't all there is. The law is also full of technical definitions, and words which in a legal sense don't correspond to their "common" sense, which is why people spend years in law school.

And like I said, there are multiple valid ways of defining the scope of a digital store. What matters here is the technical, legal definition in this particular case. Not the "common sense" of somebody on the street.

How do you know that? Perhaps just from "Victorian", but I think it would help if estate agents were required to list some basic facts about the house — the year it was built, the basic materials for the walls and roof, the type of heating installed.

- double glazing in 87.5%

- wall insulation of some sort 49%

- loft insulation 39%

On 1/ the content was always split across providers - you just had a middle man bundling pointless shit in with the stuff you wanted and charging you more. If a "single user interface" is what you want, my Apple TV does some aggregating across apps. It's good enough I'm replacing my other TV's roku with another Apple TV (just got to figure out the digital output).

On 2/ can you do that with cable? Inside your own country, could you take your laptop and watch your cable subscriptions on the road? DVDs are region locked too. I've have also watch some Netflix content in Europe with my US Netflix account when I was traveling so it's not a 100% block.

I would bet that the backend crashed.

Probably the backend sent the initial headers and start of the response to the load balancer, then stared rendering the page and crashed. Presumably `<!doctype html>` is hardcoded as it is always sent for HTML pages and maybe fills up one of the initial packets or something. The rest of the page may be rendered and return as separate chunks (or just one large content chunk).

>However gratifying, no amount of speechifying about how journalism serves the public interest will save the profession and the business if the public isn’t interested.

A functioning democracy requires a functioning media. The government has the power, and the media is supposed to keep them to account. but when the media gets their paycheque from the government and they stop reporting anything negative about the government anymore... that's not a functioning democracy.

In public, I've had many conversations with people, they very much care, but they don't care for the viewpoint pushed. Journalism 101 means you report on everything with as much neutrality as possible. Sometimes your team looks bad.

But it's problematic when that stops happening. The media who skews 1 way for a little too long will inevitably lose the audience or worse those people refuse to speak to the journalists. Those journalists suddenly never hear the viewpoint they have been losing and thus lose them even more.

>So the most fundamental problem facing journalism is that much of the public does not see the value of what the profession and the industry has to offer, and an election year bump will not dispel this existential challenge.

We definitely see the value of good journalism. We don't see the value in biased news. This is why the CBC will be defunded within the next 2 years pretty much guaranteed.

They did change the API for Python modules implemented in C. That was actually part of the reason why the 2->3 transition went so badly.

It wasn't realistic to switch to 3.x when the libraries either weren't there or were a lot slower (due to using pure Python instead of C code).

It also wasn't realistic to rewrite the libraries when the users weren't there.

It was in many respects a perfect case study in how not to do version upgrades.
An example of this is that obese people don't legendarily have the strongest joints in the world, since they are constantly adding additional strain on every single joint all the time. In fact being significantly overweight does the opposite!
There are probably multiple refactoring tools which would fit the description by the parent.

Personally I have experience with JetBrains ReSharper for (full) Visual Studio, it has loads of functionality which makes it very fast for me to navigate and refactor even very large C# projects.

JetBrains has different products for many different languages and I expect they offer similar capabilities in each.

Learning all the features at once is impractical, but if you learn a new one every now and again, after a few months or years you become incredibly proficient.

I had a similar experience with conversation macros back in the day when I was a GM for WoW.

You don’t make too many at once as you’ll never remember them all, instead you make them kind of as you need them, which tends to be situations like “this is the third time today I’m writing this long explanation”.
I'm not sure if you're being tongue and cheek here, however in the case you aren't

What the OP is saying is that Java is good for CRUD, consultancies and body shops (which are a way of saying poor engineering consultancy firms, often Accenture is considered one, for an example) and Python for German startups that often fail and don't provide the same type of benefits / pay like SV startups do, at least sometimes.

BS in this case isn't a language, it stands for bullsh*t.
I doubt it with a copy-and-patch JIT, not the way they work now. I'm a serious mypy/python-static-types user and as is they currently wouldn't allow you to do much optimization wise.

- All integers are still big integers

- Use of the typing opt-out 'Any' is very common

- All functions/methods can still be overwritten at runtime

- Fields can still be added and removed from objects at runtime

The combination basically makes it mandatory to not use native arithmetic, allocate everything on the heap, and need multiple levels of indirection for looking up any variable/field/function. CPU perf nightmare. You need a real optimizing JIT to track when integers are in a narrow range and things aren't getting redefined at runtime.

In the movie Blackhat, the Bad Guy communicated "anonymously" with his cronies by setting up (I think) a Bluetooth hot spot in an open mall.

They all virtually crossed paths at some specific spot, where there was a radio and computer hidden in a bush.

The premise is these folks have never met, and assuming that the cronies aren't familiar with the tech and told to "go to this bench, do this workflow, enter in these codes". Rather they were told to download an app to their phone, go to this area and "start chatting", or maybe they connected to the bush server, and exchanged messages without ever having to be in the same place at the same time.

Can a modern phone contact a BT device without being manually paired (assuming it has cooperating software on the phone)? A non-hacked phone? Could they have been using just raw BLE for this?
