"Sharing useful knowledge with the broadest possible audience," unfortunately, is the worst possible thing you can do nowadays.

I hate that the internet is turning me into that guy, but everything is turning into shit and cancer, and AI is only making an already bad situation worse. Bots, trolls, psychopaths, psyops and all else aside, anything put on to the public web now only contributes to its metastasis by feeding the AI machine. It's all poisoned now.

Closed, gatekept communities with ephemeral posts and aggressive moderation, which only share knowledge within a limited and trusted circle of confirmed humans, and only for a limited time, designed to be as hostile as possible to sharing and interacting the open web, seem to be the only possible way forward. At least until AI inevitably consumes that as well.
For me, I encounter a floating point bug/issue every 4 years of so. So "almost never" sounds about right to me.
Springs do not have to wear out. If springs are made from a material such as steel that has a fatigue limit and the stress they experience is less than the fatigue limit, they may be deformed forever.

As for the answer, it appears to be yes. It is possible to make logic gates which only use rigid rotary links[0].

It baffles me that the US has been the nest of some of the greatest things for human beings, and now has completely forgotten itself, it baffles me that you had a guy called Kennedy coming up with this perfection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FAmr1la6w0
And now you remember nothing of what he said, it is unbelievable that you're here only measuring the success of a company regardless of the effects it has on the people, you measure the success of the company by money, ok. I consider US tech company as the worst, as the most exploiting, depressing, cheating, dangerous, who serve no purpose other than the one of their shareholders. Do you own the definition of success?
Probably not since replacing the ancient equipment only capable of DSA is likely cheaper than maintaining an OpenSSH fork.

I’m going to assume that the hardware that supports DSA only has long been abandoned by its manufacturer.

Not just floating point, but 64-bit IEEE 754 specifically. The last few bits of the mantissa are not sufficient to represent the last decimal digit exactly. 80 bits would suffice for this particular example, but would fail similarly with a longer mantissa.

BTW this is one of the reasons why you should never represent money as a float, except when making a rough estimate. Another, bigger reason is that 0.1 is an infinite repeating fraction in binary, so it can't be represented exactly.

How old are you?

Xillenial here and the internet was a utopia when I first explored it.

Everyone you interacted with was similarly curious and interesting. All the content was some flavor of passion project.

I’ve recently been getting into ham radio because it has a similar feel to me as the early internet. You need a license and an outlay of equipment and everyone else is a hobbyist also. It’s not an app anyone can use with their thumbs.

I think we’ll see a backlash at some point where people abandon these app-driven spaces and we go back to grass roots communities.

At least I hope so

I think that answer overflow is opt-in, that is individual communities have to actively join it, for their content to show up. That would mean that (unless answer overflow becomes very popular), most discord content isn't visible that way.
No disagreement there! If I find a topic interesting enough, I'll start with Wikipedia and then usually buy or borrow some books on the topic for detailed study. On more than one occasion, I've then returned to Wikipedia to update it with information from those books. But yeah, definitely it shouldn't be the sole source people use.

> How about the general decline of cognitive ability with age?

I don't think there is an inevitable general decline of cognitive abilities with age, or the effect isn't strong enough to matter. At least, I haven't really seen them.

What I have seen is older people who are just tired of the constant personal improvement that any career needs to continue to flourish. People often find their niche and just want to stay there. That's a different thing entirely, though.

Quite the opposite actually. My intent is to shed light on the fact that sharing information with OpenAI is not private. And you should not do that with information that you wouldn't even share with people you trust.
Boston here and what we see now is the only company consistently hosting is google and exclusively for kubernetes meetups. Organizers for several meetups have communicated struggles to get anyone to host. A big part of it seems to be the bigger companies that used to host literally left Boston as a side effect of acquisitions or downsizing closing the Boston offices, leaving only buildings further out in the burbs (Burlington for example) open. A lot of the hosts that were acquired but sill in town were bought by companies like Vista Equity Partners who seem to have an outright distaste for engineering community as a whole and reject requests from their own staff to host events.

The flip side is even when a host is found, its sometimes in the burbs because that's where the bigger office space is that's still a tech space and asking people who work or live downtown to commute to a specific suburb just for a free slice of pizza and a pitch to work for a company who is RTOd and has no downtown presence gets zero interest
> Signed content is the only way to get that.

This does nothing to guarantee that the content was written or edited by a human. Because of the risk of key theft, it doesn't even guarantee that it was published by the human who signed it.

It is physically, philosophically, and technically impossible to verify the authenticity of digital content. At the boundary between the analog world and the digital world, you can always defraud it.

This is the same reason that no one ever successfully used blockchains for supply-chain authentication. Yes, you can verify that item #523 has a valid hash associated with it, but you can't prove that the hash was applied to item #523 instead of something fraudulent.

I don’t remember the details but the spirit of the GDPR is basically that processing of your personal data requires your informed consent, and service cannot be withheld if you refuse to give this consent. What Meta is doing (not refusing to provide the service, but charging for it) is interesting, but sort of goes against the spirit of the law.

Personally I find this kind of condescending: I’m not allowed to enter into agreements as I see fit because some EU bureaucrat wants to “protect” me. It would be much better if the regulators focused on keeping these giant companies honest, holding them to their own terms of service and forcing them to communicate those terms in a clear and transparent way.

(And yes: I never wipe my ass without checking the latest EU regulations…)
IncidentLly I've noticed a disturbing uptick in borderline sketchy ads on YouTube recently, things that used to be subliminal in those "doctors hate her" banners are now overt and unskippable.
Okay, well it turned out that the entrepreneurial yuppies in question failed to deliver on "it will just automatically do everything for you, we can't even define what, just everything".

> RIP "invisible hand" efficient market hypothesis.

Smith didn’t claim that an “invisible” hand was a sole or even predominant mechanism, just that it could apply to specialization. In fact at a microeconomic level Coase’ “Nature of the firm” says the opposite is true, and he’s as mainstream as you can get.

In general (this is not a comment about you, schiffern) most people who exalt Adam Smith have never read his book and would be shocked that he was such an enthusiast for welfare, regulation, and government intervention and support.
> they're on a very restrictive diet.

I'd argue it's basically entirely this. The modern food environment is incredible (over)-stimulating. Food is ubiquitous and abundant, with a dizzying array of novel variations. Food cues enticing you to eat are ever present.

Being vegan has the accidental side effect of counteracting much of this. A lot of the built-up food infrastructure suddenly becomes non-existent.

Imagine. You're walking into a busy mall in a foreign country. On your left, there's a café advertising a variety of tempting pastries. Your sister told you about that cafe. She loves their cream cheese cake. To your right, the sizzling flames from a steakhouse grab your attention. Moving to another level, you spot an ice cream parlor showcasing a new flavor: Strawberry Daifuku. But all this has to wait, because you're heading straight for the ramen shop you've heard so much about. They're known for their amazing pork bone broth. It's why your foodie friends have chosen to meet up here.

Now if you were vegan, all of that is just ... gone. Possibly the foodie friends as well ;)

Non-vegans don't think about this but they recognize it subconsciously -- most non-vegans would balk at having to go vegan even for a short time, just due to the inconvenience alone.

Some of the aspects of the modern food environment come back when you figure out where to look of course, but even the even a savvy vegan consumer won't encounter the same level of choice, variety and catering and let's not forget cost-competitiveness that a modern omnivore experiences.
> What have they added besides huddles that is actually useful?

I really like the new Canvas feature they have. I realize it's more updated version of posts that they already had but seems to work much better than posts IMHO.
Agreed. I just switched my personal email over to Proton after already using them for my business email for a year or so.

The webmail is slick (and refreshingly simple) and I'm really liking their iOS Mail app which is a huge improvement from the old version from a year or two ago.

Hope they continue to invest in Calendar and Drive (encrypted storage) - both need a bit more work, but are usable enough for now.

> [Vista] was surprisingly alright in my experience

I never understood the hate for Vista. People were overly complacent and wanted a OS that ran on 128MB of ram like XP did. Vista was not that. When 7 came along, it was pretty much the same core, except now many computers were already Vista-capable.

I was using the Vista Beta of my 2GB-RAM computer for 6 months before release and it was vastly better than XP.

> Then how would a network connected torque wrench make sure that airplane bolts are tightened better than a digital torque wrench?

It reduces the potential for human error by automating part of the process and therefore reducing cognitive load and human err.

> What I linked isn't connected to a network at all, what is your point here?

My point is that you can leverage the advantages of a network connected wrench while also mitigating concerns about internet connectivity by just configuring the network. You don't have to use a tool with fewer features.
The last three companies I've worked for prefer hiring older workers. Well, they're not looking for age -- they're looking for very refined skills and experience -- but those thing are highly correlated with age.

Keep thinking beyond the immediate for another step and you will see how harming self esteem means a person won’t productively alter their behavior. It’s in the literature I’ve cited if you’re actually curious.

I think the price point was meant to discourage people from paying. It's on par with streaming services, but with the content produced by the users. Do they get 200+ dollars in ads for the average user?

For example, I considered paying but I have a semi-inactice Facebook account which isn't worth that to me. I'm also not convinced of Facebook's integrity to honor the deal and not process the data anyway.
COVID really hit the scene over here in South Germany. There were a bunch of meetups that tried online meetup events during lockdown for maybe 2-3 times, but then eventually they all stopped.

And it's not language- or topic-specific either: Java, JS, golang, cyber security, devops, all types of meetups really aren't what they used to be. You're lucky when you organize an event and more than 20% of registered people show up, even when you made them pay 10 bucks for it that they get back on arrival.

The biggest event I've attended to last year were Chaos events (Gulaschprogrammiernacht / GPN, CCC etc), BSides events, and that's pretty much it. All other events kind of either died out, or have been taken over by software consultancies holding the same old "we are cool with PWAs, Angular and FuGu, now hire us!" type talks that they never change and repeatedly broadcast to as many who will listen.

I tried to start a cybersecurity / devsecops / golang related meetup again, and we're now around 10 regular people of the former ~150+ ones. I am now thinking of starting a dedicated developer forum (maybe even in German), because even reddit isn't what it used to be in this regard.

I don't know what changed specifically, but I think the threshold of "when" people consider going to an event changed radically through COVID, and they rather be a lazy ass in the evening than meet people. Maybe that's the global social depression everyone is talking about. Dunno.

Did you observe similar behaviors?
That's... really odd. I loved Monopoly as a kid, but my family didn't love playing because the games dragged on so long. As an adult, I realize the problem with the game is that the result gets decided fairly early on and takes a REALLY long time to play out/drive itself into the ground as the losers get more and more bored.

I don't see anything about the game itself that would lead myself or anyone I know to lie and cheat.

So Amazon-owned Twitch makes huge job cuts, they cut jobs in Prime video, introduce ads for prime video users, all within the last few weeks? Is something wrong with Amazon's financials that they're taking more drastic measures?
Here is my take: The company could not sustain itself since its beginning and always needed vc money- specially for growth. But growth somehow became the modus operandi and that did not change with the IPO. Fresh money was coming in but certainly not enough to live up to overhyped expectations such as building a creator market, serving a yet to come "metaverse" and competing with fortnite-funded epic games. The company tried to get into many different markets simulanteously and underestimated the associated costs. At the same time technology did not advance as quickly as desired and vr & metaverse went nowhere.
Not at all, malicious may even be preferable as that's easier to correct than "skill issue." But I would argue it does matter from the "$TECH_CO bad amirite" perspective.
The MT7976C (AKA FiLogic 820) provides 2.4GHz and 5GHz. This article is about the 830:

https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/10/06/mediatek-unveils-fil...

I'm reasonably sure this line of chips is designed to be the only active radio in an access point:

> Filogic 830 packs a wide variety of features into a compact, ultra-low power 12nm SoC, allowing customers to design differentiated solutions for routers, access points and mesh systems. The SoC integrates four Arm Cortex-A53 processors operating at up to 2GHz per core for up to +18,000 DMIPs processing power, dual 4x4 Wi-Fi 6/6E for up to 6Gbps connectivity, two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and a host of peripheral interfaces. Filogic 830’s built-in hardware acceleration engines for Wi-Fi offloading and networking enable faster and more reliable connectivity. In addition, the chipset also supports MediaTek FastPath™ technology for low latency applications such as gaming and AR/VR.

My reading of that is that the ARMs are there for software defined networking tasks, and not to run the router OS. I could be wrong. However, the OpenWRT spec lists this chip as a network adapter, not as the main SoC.

A point that people seem to miss: epoll supports both level-triggered and edge-triggered. Most similar APIs only support level-triggered.

Edge-triggered is theoretically less work for the kernel than level-triggered, but requires that your application not be buggy. People tend to either assume "nobody uses edge-triggered" or "everybody uses edge-triggered".

Completion-based is far from trivial; since the memory traffic can happen at any time, the kernel has to consider "what if somebody changes the memory map between the start syscall and the end syscall". It complicates the application too, since now you have to keep ownership of a buffer but you aren't allowed to touch it.

AIX and Solaris apparently also support completion-based APIs, but I've never seen anyone actually run these OSes.

(aside, `poll` is the easiest API to use for just a few file descriptors, and `select` is more flexible than it appears if you ignore the value-based API assumptions and do your own allocation)
