Thing is, for as insane as they may seem on the surface, assets prices have managed to keep in line with the return on investment. The returns are where the gains have really been made. In other words, it is not so much an asset bubble as it is a consumer activity bubble.

Which is unsurprising as that is specifically why the rates were lowered in the first place – to spur on consumer activity when it started grinding to a halt in 2008. And why rates have risen again recently – to try and tame consumer activity amid a supply chain no longer able to keep up with it.

So, yes, as consumer activity declines, asset values will go with it. But that also means less for the average Joe. As people have to do with less, it isn't too hard to think that crime will increase as a result. When there are no longer toys to placate them, people will find something to do.
I don't see this as a problem because 90% of doctor visits are for medical issues so simple they can easily be handled by nurses. Seeing a doctor for every medical issue is like seeing an engineer every time your car breaks down.

PayPal is my first choice and if I go to check out on your store and you don't have PayPal as an option, the chances I abandon my cart if I don't have my wallet just went up exponentially. I use it as a buffer between me and the provider. Everything goes through a credit card so I still get the points/miles I would get entering the card directly. Except now they don't have a credit card token they can keep charging forever. They have a PayPal token that I can log into PayPal and immediately revoke, asynchronously, without involving the merchant or my credit card at all.

I don't need to worry about my details still being with that merchant. I don't have to worry about the merchant's convolution and likely-illegal cancellation process. The only negative I can think of is that any dispute has to go through PayPal, and while I've never done it I would bet money they are going to be skewed more in the merchant's favor than the credit card company. But that being said I have had fully legitimate chargebacks (as in not "I want a refund and they said no" but "this is a fraudulent charge I never agreed to") get denied and reversed by Discover so that's not a 100% certainty either.

I never receive money through PayPal so while I've read all the same horror stories everyone else has, that doesn't seem likely to affect me. My biggest gripe is the full-screen advertisement for whatever service they're pushing every time you log in on the website.

All three factors have different security properties. The big downside of biometric factors is that they can't be replaced when compromised. You can't play language games and say "oh, I technically /have/ fingerprints" and pretend that changes their security properties.
The answer to that is: It depends.

You can run barcode detection at 30fps on a 1080p video using any modern PC, no problem at all.

But high performance industrial barcode scanners have certain features that would be undesirable in any other application. A greyscale-only sensor for maximum sensitivity, jittery autofocus and autoexposure to respond fast when something appears right in front of the lens, autofocus switching attention so everything in view gets a chance at being in focus, built-in illumination to help avoid motion blur, and so on.

So although the software can provide a good framerate, a laptop webcam may still perform worse than a dedicated barcode scanner.

(zbar is a mixture of good and bad - if you want to experience software barcode detection for yourself your phone's app store probably offers 'scandit' which is closed source but performs pretty well)
2FA is more than defending against bad passwords but also compromised passwords (e.g. you accidentally share it in a public forum) and phishing attacks. It's very unlikely a bad actor has access to both factors.

Too many sites have broken forms. Sure, you can have the card autofilled but maybe it doesn't trigger the autofill for the address or maybe that wasn't even loaded yet. Maybe you can just click there and have it auto-fill but they can be so broken it doesn't autofill completely or fills wrong. Some sites are smart enough to have a checkbox for "shipping address is the same as billing" and others aren't.

When you use a 3rd party payment provider like PayPal it does a really good job of forcing all of this to be automatic compared to things trying to autofill custom forms just because it's integrated by the site instead of the user. MFA hell is starting to erode that actually being easier though and now there is more and more often no simple approach left.

Why do you say almost never? Don’t let the name scare you; all floating point math is inaccurate. Fast math is only slightly less accurate, I think typically it’s a 1 or maybe 2 LSB difference. At least in CUDA it is, and I think many (most?) people & situations can tolerate 22 bits of mantissa compared to 23, and many (most?) people/situations aren’t paying attention to inf/nan/exception issues at all.

I deal with a lot of floating point professionally day to day, and I use fast math all the time, since the tradeoff for higher performance and the relatively small loss of accuracy are acceptable. Maybe the biggest issue I run into is lack of denorms with CUDA fast-math, and it’s pretty rare for me to care about numbers smaller than 10^-38. Heck, I’d say I can tolerate 8 or 16 bits of mantissa most of the time, and fast-math floats are way more accurate than that. And we know a lot of neural network training these days can tolerate less than 8 bits of mantissa.
I think one of the issues is that software engineers are building on sand. Civil engineers have Newton and Einstein to fall back on.

It feels like there is no ground truth in computing, each layer has to assume the layer below is generating random errors and try to account for that, because humans are not perfect.

> Trust, but verify (Russian: доверяй, но проверяй, tr. doveryay, no proveryay, IPA: [dəvʲɪˈrʲæj no prəvʲɪˈrʲæj]) is a Russian proverb, which is rhyming in Russian. The phrase became internationally known in English after Suzanne Massie, a scholar of Russian history, taught it to Ronald Reagan, then president of the United States, the latter of whom used it on several occasions in the context of nuclear disarmament discussions with the Soviet Union.

It’s a matter of degree. We often put people in the position where they need to do some pretty terrible, degrading work just to eat. In my view as the alternatives you have get worse, it gets less morally questionable to steal. Furthermore, I think it should largely be evaluated by the harm it does to others, e.g. stealing a car from a sheltered rich person who can afford an uber in an emergency does them much less harm than from a poor person, who may not be able to get to work and put food on the table. Im not even saying it’s fine to steal the rich person’s car, just relatively okay. Thieves are definitely selfish, but so is everyone else in our free market system. We consider it a virtue when the right people do it.
Look, most of the time I agree that like, fuck thieves. I just also agree think that the underlying issues are inequality, alienation, and other socioeconomic shit, and that condemning thieves morally is counterproductive because it distracts from the useful changes to prevent them from becoming thieves.
The EU market is rough right now, as you say. The down-level to senior usually happens on the system design and behavioral interviews. Especially in Europe, I find people often downplay their contributions in these interviews, while the Americans are almost brazen in claiming credit. To an interviewer, that might sound like you were just “around” when good things happened. If I were you, I’d do a mock interview with someone you trust, and see if they can help you spot where you’re selling yourself short, maybe.
I’m not even embarrassed to say last night I went to check out, saw there wasn’t an Apple Pay option, waited through about 2 minutes of waiting for the credit card details panel to open before bailing.

OnionCat: Transparent IPv6 layer on top of Tor hidden services or I2P tunnels
Nah, the existence of a scheduler that performs some workload better than the generic one isn't very interesting. It's a well known fact that specialized schedulers perform better. It's just that the generic one advanced enough so that it's not worth switching for most people, but that's only after you look at the hassle of managing them.

What is really interesting here is the central piece of the kernel written on Rust, and working perfectly fine.
Am I missing something or does the security release recommend updating to the latest version without saying what that latest version is (at time of writing)?

In practice libgen uses torrents. The available seed nodes for IPFS are... few. This is largely due to the software/protocol being pretty bad compared to battle tested torrents.

This was the lesson that my team learned, as we optimized image processing pipeline code (C++).

The most interesting results, were cache hits. It could have a huge impact (like 1000X), if you could keep execution and data in lower-level caches.

Often, the fix was cut-and-paste repeated code, as opposed to loops or function calls, FP-like static functions, small stack frames, etc.

> ... use of the freedom C provides (while being unsafe) you have the ability to implement whatever complex algorithm you can envision

This is highly misleading. That is not true. At all.

Just take a sample: Do you write OO on C? No, because C is a terrible OO language. Do you write short optimized array-oriented code on C? No, because C is not APL.

People write C how people write C, the way C make them write it.

Moving into other paradigms, you see things differently.

Rust makes a lot of idioms that are inexistent on C viable: Algebraic types alone will shape the way you do algorithms by a lot. Then they push for better errors, then know exactly where things alloc, etc.

Coding in Rust is distinctly different from code in C. It is like the best way you can refactor a codebase: You come for the safety and tooling, you stay because the algorithms write better themselves.

The kings of marketing and buzz-words at it again trying to re-spin CDNs as their invention. IPFS doesn't solve persistence of data; doesn't solve churn in p2p systems; doesn't actually 'store' anything. Sounds cool though! Space and shit, some-thing, something 'decentralized' --hand waving-- 'space', umm, can I have money now? I'm doing it.
It's always been fascinating to me personally how much literature flirts with the concept of polyamory but just never quite gets there (obviously non-monogamous relationships have existed since time immortal, but polyamory as a word and defined concept didn't really come around until the 1990s).

On an abstract level (I read it quickly so apologies if I missed cues), it feels like they have at least a somewhat functional relationship outside of the usual concerns of insecure attachment, freedom and jealousy. Perhaps if they had a better framework available for dealing with those concerns, they would have had a relationship that worked better for them.
Has anyone tried implementing IPFS on top of Licklider or another DTN protocol? Seems to me that's pretty much essential for any "interplanetary" setup.
Faster shell startup with shell switching
I've had some discussions about AI in healthcare with a friend who is a MD and my interpretation of that is that initial face to face/spoken diagnosis is far from the bottle neck of healthcare. Rather the issue is that it is kind of always possible to find more things to work on. More potential cancers or various ailments. And the issue is that all the care that comes after that stage is what costs money and need to be prioritized. Though I expect the exact way how that prioritization works can differ quite a lot between different systems.

The point here being that adding AI diagnostics might improve on the quality of diagnosis but it might also potentially derail healthcare to some degree if the AI system doesn't question weather an investigation or treatment is actually worth it and should be prioritized. Then again, it might also be possible to make it prioritize more consistently and fairly...
> The observation was that if the practice was reliably so destructive to the value of the purchased businesses that the loans couldn't be repaid...

That is the observation which is false. Nobody claimed that would happen to the extent that the bank loans couldn't be repaid, with interest and fees. I'm not sure where you got that idea. The value destruction comes from the fact that the company is destroyed in the process, and even though the banks got more than they would have if they kept the company alive, the total value is less.

tl;dr: banks are willing to tolerate the company value going down as long as they make money, which they do, because they, like the private equity firms, are effectively transferring value from the company accounts into their accounts.

> there is also the legal problem that IPFS conflicts with copyright. Redistributing anything is illegal by default

I think you might misunderstand how IPFS works, or possibly confuse it with Freenet. When you use IPFS, nothing is automatically distributed, unless they happen to know the hash of the content you've added locally. It's not until someone starts to explicitly request data from you, that you start sharing anything.

Performance doesn't exist in a vacuum. The fastest way to optimise a loop is to remove all the code in it, but you're changing the program in order to do so.

Adding/removing IO buffering absolutely _does_ have side effects. If someone is running `./app >> /dev/null 2>&1`, then mucking arouind with IO buffering is going to have little to no effect.

Which is exactly what he did, in addition to also acknowledging the pattern of the Rust community using hype to attract attention. He didn't force anything onto anyone, he just expressed his opinion.
Completely agree. SCCS goes back to 1973. I meant my comment about the lack of source control as a remark on how many shops had no hygiene at all, not that XP was the inventor of it. Joel wasn't a fan of the agile hype, and published his test in opposition to it. I agree with his assertion that much of the value was in dev hygiene: builds, tests, automation, and continuous delivery. And those could be adopted separately from the rest of "Agile". But agile had the buzz. Was the buzz part cause of broader adoption? I believe yes. Agile consultancies inflicted build hygiene on reluctant teams in the same way that Rational Rose salespeople inflicted RUP on them. And I'd argue those early Agile consulting engagements were better value-for-money than those RUP licenses.

I feel more strongly that continuous integration and continuous testing became widespread as part of the early agile movement. Again - none of those practices were invented there. Booch published his "Booch Method" in 1991, and Microsoft had monster overnight automated testing when I was there in 1992. But Beck wrote SUnit in 1995, and then JUnit when the Smalltalk diaspora fled to Java. XP was about evangelizing practices the authors had found to work and turning them to 11. CruiseControl came out of Thoughtworks in 2001, and the XP book literally coined the term "continuous integration".

Is EU also forcing companies that don't make folding phones to make folding phones because people want them? Or ferraris to make minivans? This argument doesn't make a lot of sense. You may want the world, why would a for-profit entity have to bend over for you? This seems to me to just be another way to control what you do - no longer can you start a company with your vision, you can only start a company that fits someone elses vision, like European Union's vision. Free will is a thing of the past.

Self-diagnosis will be accessible for everyone, with predictable results - good enough for 95% of cases where a doctor wasn't needed in the first place (a nurse or a google search would do), and big problems for the 5% of cases where a doctor was very much needed but all I got is this language model telling me not to worry. That's the best case scenario.

Is this better than no healthcare at all, or having to wait a month for a GP appointment? Likely yes. Is this good enough in terms of what healthcare should look like in a first-world country? Nope, and never will be, not even with healthGPT v77.
Opening your password manage and displaying the strong password openly on the screen while manually retyping it on a different machine - rather than just installing the password manager on that machine - definitely sounds like a "why are you doing that?" kind of thing.

You can certainly just delete a venv. `rf -rf venv`

I'm not sure what kind of custom path you need, but you can put a venv anywhere you want that's practical.

Yes, when you create it, you need leave it there. but they're trivial to create. `python3 -m venv [path to venv]` Installing packages is a LOT faster than npm.

There's definitely issues with python's setup as a global interpreter, but these arn't them.
Yep! It’s deceptive. Worse yet, there’s no native way to disable these merge types, so if you want to restrict a branch to only use -ff merges you need to hack together something with branch protection rules, otherwise it’s very easy to accidentally merge in a non linear commit. That’s what this action does.
