I'm on the hunt for a new challenge where I can leverage my 25 years of experience in software engineering, architecture, and management. I excel at transforming complex software challenges into streamlined, actionable processes, specializing in robust backend systems architecture and development process optimization.
I really enjoy much of Ubers tooling.

TFA seems to explain the problems they are trying to solve but not the solutions. Currently these problems seem well solved by the intellij line of products with [insert favorite linter here].

Maybe I'm missing something
> They apparently just excel at toothbrushes, smart bulbs, and shavers nowadays

Maybe in the consumer space. But they’re still a huge conglomerate, and one of the biggest MedTech companies in the world. I’m not questioning their malfeasance here, but I doubt it’s going to impact sales on their MRI, CT, EKG… devices very much.
Philips Respironics is signing a consent decree with the FDA to basically pull out of the US[1]. Imagine if a murderer could also sign a consent decree to just promise not to murder anyone else (in that country, mind you), and get away scot free.

But no news out of Europe... I sure hope they will not be permitted to sell any machines there ever again too.

Luckily for me, I use ResMed machines.

A lot of companies make money by being second or even third mover. There's a lot of benefit to having someone else create the market and then swoop in with a marginally better product (or even just better marketing).
Again, as a user, why is this our problem?

Let's all stop picking sides when trillion dollar companies fight each other at the expense of an open inter-operable Internet.

I think bitwize's reply is one of the best comments I've read here. If you don't have the context it's really pretty condescending and snarky. but, hexdecoctbin thanked them for the reply.

based on your username, I'll absolutely stipulate that you're correct. bitwize didn't really answer the question correctly.

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying bitwize said what OP needed to hear to grok the answer, and that seems pretty fucking lispy to me.
It seems only US residents are elligible for this recall and compensation. Seems like I'll have to pursue my own legal action.
One can expect minimal generative content for reasons already mentioned in the article. It wouldn't be too surprising if in practice they only have the one reel playing at these festivals. I don't think experiencing the generative or the stochastic in a concrete comparative sense is necessarily the point. It's there to keep you cognizant of and become immersed in a creative process in line with Eno's philosophy. Kind of gimmicky, but passable as a conceptual art move.
It would be nice if we could hold the carriers responsible. If they have to start paying penalties from allowing spammers on their network, things might change.
From what I heard from people who are involved in the development and/or in betatesting, the target price is indeed around 80€, so your estimate is pretty spot on
I didn’t think to say it because masters are basically undergrad and a requirement for engineer positions in my country (European 3-2-3 year system).

Thanks for the advice! I’ll think hard about whether I really want to do this.
No, they are using robodialers, these days. Also, I have gotten a few robovoice calls from local pols.

One issue that corporations should be concerned about, is if they contract a dialer company to initiate their calls, and that company moonlights to scammers, they get blocked, so the legit corporation gets blocked for being a scammer.
Wow, a mystery solved 40 years later!! Found some of these in a box of
bits on an RAF base when I was a kid. They were on some signalling
gear with headphones made of electromagnets and thin circular iron
plates in the ear-pieces. The cotton braided wires had been joined
with these weird copper pipes and then wrapped around with electrical
tape. Obviously a field repair thinking about it now. They were surely
the same tech.
I got a sign that looked like infinity and had ??? as its label. Did I win the game?
Eh, why comparing it to Paris? How about comparing it to other US cities, because that's what people care about? I don't think anyone saying that sentence think about the situation in other parts of the world.
> Being usable was largely about timing, though.

Most breakthrough inventions, in areas where people fumbled for years or decades, could have been released long before with earlier insight. Maybe not as advanced, but if the right things were done right they still would have been a win.

Many of those "right things" were more practicality, psychological, or fit for market, not just waiting around to jump the moment the "right" tech component arrived.

Breakthrough products also tend to take competitors by surprise. If the breakthrough product didn't happen, it could be years before any other team comes together with the same focus and insights.

So timing a little bit. The vision is important, but often was a common dream. The real rare resources are a very clear vision, stable highly supportive management, a densely talented team, and an intensely iterative focus, and a willingness to go deep and get previously unavailable specialized components made.

Somehow "timing" always follows those last resources.

That's the big challenge these days - many people think life is supposed to be "always awesome" - and it's not.

This is true for all hiring of experienced people.

If a company is after an experienced person then they want someone who can come up to speed with their codebase quickly. This means they do not want to spend time training someone in the languages and preferably the frameworks used.

Yes for a permanent position they will also try to get people who can do other things and in a year or two's time the person will probably not be doing the same job.

For a contractor you mist know the languages immediately, they need the person to cover a gap in their knowledge or resourses immediately. You won't be expected to know their codebase but would be expected to answer a question on the language or common library in the first few days to help a coworker debug an issue. In many cases you will not be there long enough to learn their codebase.

If you are a contractor then you learn on your own time - the company will not pay you to learn new things, well at least until you have shown you are above average in doing things then they might allow this as they know they will get a payback.

Basically you can't tell during a hiring process how good someone is (you can find out if they are bad) and so the company will look at how well you have done after some time and make a view as to wether it is worth spending resources to get you to do something different.

Unfortunately many companies have this attitude to permeant employees and don't give enough time for training etc.
This is one of the views I'm coming to.

I'd also suggest that there be a rebate per spam call delivered. Say, $10/call to the customer.

Telcos could seek 10x that from the upstream who peered the call.

That is, there's a protection and credit to both the end-recipient and the telco provider, which might make the politics of such policy or legislation more widely palatable.
>If he was innocent, then he must assume Wikileaks was participating in framing him.

I do not see why at all, and that the defense is in contact with WikiLeaks even if innocent seems highly like because WikiLeaks could provide evidence that he is Innocent
Society being unable to self-regulate and deal with problem people like this is a purely modern issue. I hope we find a solution because, otherwise, I don’t see how things stay together.
I am not an alum but I did have a short chat with him about 6 years ago: "gentle" is definitively not how I would describe him, at least from that interaction.

Everybody has a bad day though so I did gave him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm really not surprised by this tweet "scandal" at all and the way he's dealing with it.
A friend asked his wife to create a horse and an accountant. It took her 1hr of playing to get the former, and 3hrs for the latter. I'm still laughing.
Why do you think they are using robodialers for text messages? AFAIK, that’s still banned by the FCC:

I never get robocalls on my private phone, but probably get 2-3 a day on my work phone.

Most are easy to detect, simply because they're foreign numbers.

What is worse, are the spoofed numbers. Because it could be related to work, I have to answer those.

I've lost count how many times I've called someone back, mere seconds after missing the call, only to get some frustrated person on the other end:

"I'm so sorry, people have been calling me all day, asking why I've tried to call them"

"I don't know why my phone number is being used for this"

"What, I didn't call you? You must have the wrong number"

etc.

Yes! I think their national budget rule is that 1 in 4 Sing dollars must be spent on the military. That is an enormous fraction. The annual military budget exceeds 11B USD. With a population of ~5.5M, that is 2,000 USD per capita.
Any politician in support of that will see the end of their politic career.

I'm an aspiring developer, into programming languages and DevTools. Last year, I built a C debugger from scratch, and recently I've been programming in Haskell a lot. I will graduate from German high school this spring, and I'm looking for internship opportunities.
Apparently they demoed it on Amiga38, powering an A1200 with a '040 accelerator and/or PiStorm card, card and that was no problem. I have not seen nor done the actual maths, but since it's done by actual Amiga community people and not some shady Chinese company, I would say it's safe to assume they considered these use cases.
I like the core idea, but I fail to see why this is a good solution. IIUC the workflow is:

1. Run a Lockbox server

2. Define the API request in automation tool as a webhook.

3. Proxy it via lockbox to add auth.

All this really does it allow you to revoke auth at any time. As they can freely use the key. I see there are plans to restrict the requests allowed but doing that on the fully composed request it going to be extremely difficult to do reliably.

If you are already hosting some API why not do something like this instead.

1. Run a Lockbox server.

2. Send a webhook from the automation tool that just contains the relevant variables.

3. Lockbox composes the variabless into a request.

Basically if you want any sort of security and access control that is reliable you just want to send the parameters of the operation to Lockbox, then have the actual request generated on your server. Rather then doing the request generation in the automation tool then trying to validate that it was generated correctly.

About the what, I can't tell you too much unfortunately. We do realtime OS for autonomous robots in Oberon. About the why, it's a question of heritage from the past. The code works, so why taking the risk to migrate it. It's really a big code base, so migrating it would be (will be...) very risky for all of our running platforms.

It doesn’t, I don’t think Google would like that, but if you have YouTube Premium you won’t see ads, just like the website.

With JPEG you can scale down in power-of-two factors by just not processing the higher-frequency components.

You're still left with the non-lossy compression step, so one could do something like "unzip", repackage data throwing away the high-frequency stuff, "zip".

Wouldn't surprise me if you can do something similar with h264/h265.
You actually just need to say you're an EU citizen, GDPR applies globally.
I'm also thinking about reconfigure the Pi to things like PiKVM for remote controlling :)

Hardware encoding requires a GPU, currently I believe the best option is Intel Quick Sync. (Of course if you are using a CPU without iGPU, such as Intel "F" series, NVENC and AMD VCE is also supported by many applications) So it needs to do PCI passthrough to the VM or using a LXC and passthrough it to the LXC container.

One advantage of using LXC than VM is you can share a single GPU between multiple containers at no cost. Technically 12-Gen Intel CPU supports SR-IOV but I'm afraid that the iGPU performance is split among VMs.
I have an OG mac.com account (got it about five minutes after Steve announced it).

Because of that, a lot of folks enter my email address as theirs; often accidentally (they forget the numbers, afterwards, or somesuch).

One lady made donations to her local ASPCA, and used my email address.

They sold me to some of the craziest, most radical-left organizations on earth.

I get hundreds of emails, every day, from these outfits. Some, are absolutely barking mad. Many, are fake emails from politicians.

Even I can't stomach some of the crazy in these emails, and I lean left[ish] (I'm quite centrist, which means leftists think I'm MAGA, and rightists think I'm commie).

Needless to say, unsubs only make it worse.

All because one lady goofed, when entering her email, for a local animal assistance org.
When a phone is receiving dozens of calls per day, answering each and every simply isn't viable, not matter how critical a given call might be.

Unfortunately, it's often older people with a greater dependence on healthcare providers who are also targeted by robocallers, fraudsters, and telemarketers, often to devastating effect.
You are a demonising antisemite, that’s all. I wish for your family to never have to run to the bomb shelters or bury a relative who was killed by a terrorist.
OTOH, perhaps thinking of the Subaru Outback as a SUV just shows you have let a couple of decades of SUV propaganda make up the definition of "SUV" you have in your head for you. It's not like it's anywhere near a Dodge Ram in looks and design, is it?

(OTGH, if it is, then maybe I'm mixing up the Outback with other Subaru models we have more of over here.)

The problem is that the guy didn't "invent" anything, more like had a farfetched idea and left all "the practical details" to others to work out. That's like saying that Meliès invented space travel - he too had the idea of flying to the Moon in a gun projectile ...

It was only non-functioning mockup, at best, because the vacuum tube electronics of the era was simply incapable of producing a wireless device with those capabilities and weighing 140 (!!!) grams.

Satellite failures often involve uncontrolled spinning. So you've turned a piece of debris in a known stable path that will eventually deorbit into a piece of debris on an unknown but potentially energetic orbit.

Satellites do have deorbit thrusters, but they're a lot more deliberate. I think Starlink have a whole separate remote controllable system just for deorbit control.

Load following Nuclear costs more per kWh because you’re getting less energy when the capacity factor drops and as is often said fuel isn’t the largest cost for nuclear.

So you still need to pay just as much for for salaries, maintenance, construction, decommissioning etc when output is 10% or 100%. But you also need a more complex design with higher inherent costs.

> Hardware decoding is not enabled by default, to keep the out-of-the-box configuration as reliable as possible. However, when using modern hardware, hardware video decoding should work correctly, offering reduced CPU usage, and possibly lower power consumption. On older systems, it may be necessary to use hardware decoding due to insufficient CPU re‐sources; and even on modern systems, sufficiently complex content (eg: 4K60 AV1) may require it.
