I worked there before and after the acquisition. F5 Security was woefully incompetent. We spent 3 months trying to get approval for a web hook from Gitlab -> Slack, including endless documents (Threat Model Assessment), and meetings - god, the meetings - at one point on a call with 35 people. So I feel Maxim’s pain trying to deal with that team at F5.

On the other hand nginx core developers (the Russians) were arrogant to the point of considering anyone else as inferior and unworthy of their attention or respect, unless they contributed to nginx oss. They managed that project secretively and rewrote most “outside” contributions. They also ignored security issues - one internal developer spotted security issues with NGINX Unit (a failed oss project 20 years out of date before it started) and was told to fix the issues quietly and not to mention “security” anywhere in the issue messages or commit history.

So I can imagine exactly how these meetings would have gone, I’m sure it was the last straw!
But what does belonging translate to in material terms? I genuinely don't understand this it's foreign to me. It seems like one of those fantasy concepts indoctrinated to encourage people "to take one for the team" and accept a lesser deal and status in the tribe. Some locations have less to offer than others and those that choose to stay get a lower quality of life, often for more effort. In a way they're exploited, that's how I see it. Those communities manipulate their populations into staying put at the expense of the individuals, because they need them
I see you're not into serious talk, just attacking, but I'll respond: you're absolutely right and wrong both. Sure, if you try hard and look for only core supporters, you can get a figure of 25, 20, 15% of voters. If you look at elections and the real % of votes from all people, even correcting for manipulations, you'll also get a this modest figure of, let's say, 15-20% of core supporters.

But what are the rest of people doing? They passively accept the elections. There's a curious poll results by Levada team showing that 2/3 of people distrust the elections, yet 2/3 accept the results afterwards as legitimate. They don't rebel and so on. And the reason is what I wrote above.

You may even suggest that Levada's pollsters are manipulating people with questions, and theorize that in some way you could find what people REALLY think. The problem is why don't they assert it? Is it a real opinion that is not told and that not turns into action? And also, unlike sociologists who try to correct for bias and not influence the answer, the government actually does manipulate people all the time, and makes the undecided middle be loyal.

So insisting on this, "Putin has no broad support", you ignore the mode complex and sad reality.

> Throughout history development of tech has almost always driven by seeking economic leverage. I'm sure there are exceptions but I can't think of any.

What about:

- curiosity (much of science, mathematics, etc.)

- artistic expression (musical instruments, demoscene)

- fortunate accidents (penicillin)

- just tinkering around (all sorts of inventions)

- play and fun (many non-commercial computer games)

- communication (telegraph, telephone, email, ...)

- self-expression (blogs)

- being dissatisfied with something and trying to change it (many more inventions)

- basic needs (advances in food, shelter, medicine...)

- trying to gain a military advantage (all sorts of weaponry and defenses)

- exploration (e.g. traveling to the bottom of the ocean, or landing on the moon)

- ideology/philosophy/religion (GNU and free software; cathedrals; pyramids)

etc.

At the end of the day much of technology is motivated by human needs, interests, desires, fears, etc.

OP's move from tech to comedy writing shows that interest or passion can be powerful motivators.
The Russian positions are weak and also largely mud. This is an operational challenge for sure, but the apparent strategy appears to be a localized counter attack to support the withdrawal.

I honestly think removing API access was done to prevent researchers from getting accurate data out of Twitter, making Twitter themselves the only source of information around platform usage.

Spam has obviously not been reduced in any way by the API changes. I think they already had an easy time tracking API account misuse and knew it wouldn't reduce spam in any meaningful way.

Maybe a bit of a conspiracy theory. Also possible Mr Musk just decided API access = spam and shut it down on a whim. Definitely not easy having a boss who makes snap decisions like that and doesn't tolerate any pushback or dissent.
ultimately these are the kind of things programmers care about. code debt is real and anyone who has any experience having to pay the debt off usually learns their lesson and does a better job on the next try
Yeah kinda weird to leave out the iNat discussion. It's a really fun photo but the consensus of "it's a piece of dirt with the mushroom on it" seems improtant if you want to publish it...
One way communication naturally makes it impossible to get any information back whatsoever so no dynamic solution is possible. Asymmetric should be able to be handled though, send and receive don't actually have to have the same MTU in this scenario.

The fallback for anything (one way, lazy, filtered connection, truly anything) is you always have your minimum MTU where the protocol is guaranteed to work at a given size and if it's not the protocol knows the solution will need to lie outside itself. IPv4/IPv6 already have this today.
It was either the UK, France, or Spain; the article covered all three.
I hadn't seen it, looking at the API it seems like it could be pretty straightforward to drop it in and see how the projections look.
Yes, I am wondering if this post contains any new information not previously discussed.

Also it is not the first time they have posted a similar related post to it [0]

Their previous justification for the dupe was:

Which I believe could have been added as supplementary comments in their first popular thread instead of posting 3 different threads on the same general topic.

> The tension between, and variation of, predictable and surprising elements in music are clearly important to it's enjoyability.

I heard this idea a few times as well and I interpreted it more as being about a piece of music in relation to other pieces in the same genre or simular musically (e.g. harmonically, melodically or rhythmically).

When we talk about popular music I think for the majority people it will be nearly perfectly predictable after hearing a composition a few times. Clearly people enjoy re-listening the tunes they like so I think the point of predictability being enjoyable still stands.

Though I guess the idea about the tension between novelty and predictability applies to many contexts. Another example I clearly understand is that the melody needs to be a bit surprising with respect to the harmony to be interesting and enjoyable. Also the structure of the music seems to revolve around this idea as well - even the popular songs more often than note incorporate intros, solos, bridges, breaks and/or key changes to blend the chorus-verse base pattern.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've added the auto-focus and thickened the borders to help with this.
Good catch, I fell victim to one of the classic 4 problems in CS: off by integer overflow, segfault. I'm sorry I can't complete this task, I'm a model trained by OpenAI and my knowledge cutoff date is Sept 2021.

> The attorneys also argue that NLRB proceedings deny the company a trial by a jury and violate its due-process rights under the Fifth Amendment.

Is it really the case that NRLB rulings are not appealable to an article 3 court? If that’s so, the due process claim seems pretty reasonable —- why should an agency be able to just declare you in violation of the law without giving you a right to defend yourself at trial?

Edit: it seems that as you’d expect, NLRB decisions are appealable to a circuit appeals court like federal district rulings are, making this claim seem pretty weak. https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/what-we-do/decide-cases

ok

I understand you

I had the false impression I own the title

you have experience with others and if clickbait is a problem, original title is totally ok for me

others wrote it is outrageous I think I would not have even recognized the duplicate flag or that the title changed myself :) it gave me the false impression something bad happened to me :)

you can totally remove these comments of mine complaining, I iterated on this now and everything ok!

yeah this you are terrible comment may have been too much, I will not be personal in the future!

have a good night or morning wherever you are :)
Leaving it running for 24 hours does nothing lol. Once you make over 1000 comments you cannot access the older comments through the API. If you have made 2000 comments and delete 1000 the older 1000 will not show up on your profile. I have no idea how else to explain this.

If Roe was an actual law, it wouldn't have been overturned. The current Supreme Court is simply remedying years of lazy legislating from executive agencies and the bench, instead of making laws the way we're supposed to. Everyone should support this.
Surely you're creative enough to imagine a system of government less imposing than an unaccountable executive bureaucracy but more functional than gangs of warlords.
This discussion is about truncating at L3, not L2; it assumes that the L2 MTU is fixed and known by every directly connected router, but a L3 packet transits over several L2 networks, each with its own MTU. A L2 network with variable MTU (or a MTU too small for Internet packets, like ATM) has its own independent segmentation and reassembly logic.
Even putting aside Wickard where the Supreme Court dubiously decided that a farmer growing wheat on his own land for his own personal use was "interstate commerce", I'd say that companies that sell products outside of their home state or hire employees or contractors across state lines would be considered "interstate commerce" by any reasonable definition.

If a business only sells products within Pennsylvania and only hires residents of Pennsylvania then I'd say that they're not engaged in interstate commerce. That also means no mailing or shipping orders to customers outside of Pennsylvania. In such cases, I'd say that only Pennsylvania labor law should apply to the company not federal labor law. For approximately 99.9% of companies, this would make no difference whatsoever as businesses in a modern economy are virtually always engaged in interstate commerce. It also wouldn't matter that much because most states have state labor laws that are at least as worker friendly as federal law.

So, I'd agree that Wickard is too broad and should be overturned but I don't see any reason to overturn federal labor law. I think the Roberts Court will likely take a similar position if it ever takes up such cases. Chief Justice Roberts tends to be against extremely disruptive rulings and can usually persuade one of the other conservatives.

Also, getting rid of federal labor law would probably make the "union problem" worse not better for corporations. Many of the more radical union actions that were common in the early 20th century such as wildcat strikes and general strikes were outlawed by the Wagner Act. The labor movement is currently the most popular it has been in decades and a radically anti-union Supreme Court ruling would likely lead to a massive backlash.
I’m intrigued. Do you have a starting point? And how does it handle if I need to integrate with another language as well, like Swift?
They weren't when copyright was created which is the point. Hence the metaphor for financial regulation and coffee.
When talking to people online, living in Norway feels like being from the future trying to argue with people from the past.

Imagine trying to convince people from 1924 that we’re routinely flying around in building-sized planes. They might have many legitimate concerns. Planes they have heard about might have seemed very unsafe. They may have heard of many crashes of early planes. And imagining that a plane can cross the pacific could be hard. But for us living in the present we wouldn’t think twice about flying half way across the planet because we’re so used to it.

There’s many people who think that widespread adoption of EVs would be a catastrophe. There’d be parking garages burning down every day and the grid would totally collapse.

And here we are with EVs all around us.. and everything is just fine. Better than fine. They catch fire less often than gasoline cars, if a parking garage is burning they don’t add fuel to the fire, the grid is fine, air pollution is coming down.. but some people refuse to believe me when I tell them this.

Hell, even within Norway, I’ve had my older neighbour tell me that EVs don’t last even 5 years. I felt like I should tell him my 8yo EV was working just fine, but figured it was best to not start an argument.
The problem with move fast and break things is that you need to at some point slow down and fix things. But we've developed systems that incentivize never stopping and so just enshitify everything. You win by not having no shit, but by being ankle deep in shit rather than waist deep. By being less shitty.
I'm suggesting collective attention/assistance for families may also be necessary to achieve certain outcomes (ie: reducing the number/magnitude of things people complain about all the time).
What I do is I keep using the same (Samsung T7) external drive I lost the data on, but now I use it only to transfer data from one computer's internal drive to another computer's.
Chet is going to be missed a lot in our community. His talks with Romain Guy were inspirational to me: whenever I saw them it was clear that they could each hold the stage on their own, but that having the both of them got more out of both of them, both technically and in entertainment value.

I hope he does well in comedy, but I will miss his example: that you can bring even unusual talents and interests into work life and make something worthwhile of it
Time to find corporations unconstitutional?
Most of the HR people do not first think about the long term company plans when selecting candidates, legal stuff or anything else when it comes to hiring. Most of these problems are related to breaking the necessity for formal education, thus making this position open to kakistocracy and hurting the company in the long turn.

TLDR; The decision of managers in general to have HR from all forms of education, except from legal, has been the main reason for HR ineffectiveness, bias, discrimination and other problem among them prejudice that HR is on the side of the company. When you don't have knowledge, and you work in HR, you need to prove loyalty to the management and be executioner of a lot unpopular decisions, and obedient. They don't understand the legal background for a lot of stuff or managerial, especially when it comes to layoffs. So they only option is to either listen or get replace. And, this will stay the same, since any HR will not allow any HR candidate to get hired in the company that has more knowledge. Those that do not have the knowledge will fight tooth and nail to keep their job despite their lack of knowledge.

If it were congress's job to pass these rules and regulations instead of pawning off their authority to someone else, I would assume that congresspeople would have to generally take the job a lot more seriously.
I think the idea is that any set of rules or principles for filtering applications can and will be gamed.

Nothing unless they can know for sure your machine is not a mac running Linux.
That's the system we live in. Feels pretty natural that people will optimise for the effort/$ ratio if they have the power to do so. Sitting in my home AC'd office, making a computer do things and getting paid more then basically every "essential service" is probably the sweetest deal outside of being born into a wealthy family.

I personally love to code, I literally do it in my free time to solve my own little problems and/or just to learn, but I don't resent people who are only doing it for the money or because it's easier than most alternatives.
They have the most recent Red Dwarf. That's good enough for me.
> The amount of money in circulation expands by an average of 5-6% per year.

I think you have to ask yourself where this newly minted money ends up first. I think you'll find that it largely just increases the nominal value of assets.

> The pie grows every year.

The 'pie' is the world's resources - not the money. If new money essentially just increases the nominal value of assets it doesn't invalidate what I've said. Quite the opposite. An increase in the money supply exacerbates wealth inequality as can be seen recently with historically low interest rates.
This stinks of wishful thinking... but I hope it's true.
Yes, but nearly monopolistic tools will have nearly homogeneous biases, and thus whoever happens to not be on the "not hire" side of those tools will have a really hard time.

People don't all act the same, but widely distributed software does.
That all kinda falls apart when you change the rest of rules to treat corporations like people, though, which was the point of the 14th Amendment.
I think the idea of Framework is really good, but static data limits the applications, excluding monitoring and other cases in which the data is constantly changing, but the dashboard can stay as it is. For example, I'd love to see a revamped Framework version of the LHC beam monitor and related pages (see https://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/vistar/, but check again in 2 months or so, when the accelerator will be running).

In high-energy physics, ROOT is /the/ toolkit for data analysis, and I guess jsROOT (https://root.cern.ch/js/) could also be used to load data to be shown in Framework dashboards. I thought the idea of Framework as a blogging engine with powerful data visualization built-in could be very interesting. Think, for example, about physicists pulling open data (https://opendata.cern.ch) and writing about their analysis or someone pulling data from https://ourworldindata.org/ in their own visualizations to support their case while writing about a particular subject, etc.
If good candidates are being rejected, that harms the company more than the candidate. Presumably someone is getting hired, presumably someone less qualified than the erroneously rejected candidate? And presumably that rejected candidate is applying to other companies, including competitors - the result being the company that doesn't use those faulty tools will get a better candidate with less negotiation power.

Seems like an issue that will work itself out to a certain extent.
Surprised they singled out Tubi, I found Hulu and Netflix and Stars full of DTV b-movies with has been stars or TV show regulars trying to jump to silver screen
That’s an extremely interesting (and concerning) point. If one human doesn’t like your resume, another somewhere else might. But if a widely used AI resume screen doesn’t like it, you won’t get hired anywhere.

This can happen today, but it could get much worse.

(On the other hand, it’s possible this turns into an arms race where you benchmark and craft your resume against a clone of the AI before submitting it)
What does game dev even mean when an AI can approximate physics.

How far are we from arbitrary-precision in-game graphics? If I zoom into a leaf, will I start seeing cells, chloroplasts, thylakoids, peptides, amines, hydrogen atoms, quarks? Can I then just zoom out and resume my quest, riding off into a battle?
Because of the tools? No, of course not. Do the tools make enshitification easier and does the current incentive structures create an environment where I expect these types of tools to accelerate enshitification? Certainly. These are two very different things. I hope we can understand the difference because these types of details are important to prevent enshitification.
Depending on your definition of “core”, I think the cores of those were indeed implemented by a handful of people. Read “Showstopper” for the Windows NT story, for example, with a small gang of ex-DEC engineers putting the basic kernel abstractions in place.

Of course, the full functionality of the system comes after lots more people build functionality on top of that core. Which is exactly why it’s important for that core to be coherent, powerful, and well engineered.

You can have the best chief architect in the world, but if everyone’s building on sand you’re going to get a crappy system. Whereas if the core of the system is solid, it will guide people into doing things better even without an architect.
I mean by hand waving you are focusing on discussing the future robots that are going to take over and perform x task or y task or duplicate themselves. Obviously these robots doing that is predicated on them having AGI so it’s pointless to talk about what these AGI robots will be doing if we haven’t established that AGI is even possible in the near term or at all.

It’d be like me making a prediction that we will have begun to colonize another galaxy in 10 or 20 years time and then only talking about how there’ll be trade between Earth and the colonies and maybe even wars and revolutions. Meanwhile completely skipping over how our spacefaring technology will advanced to the point we can even travel those distances in a reasonable timeframe.

I’m not an expert on LLMs but there doesn’t seem to be very much about them that is even approaching AGI. They’re a useful tool and it’ll definitely disrupt certain sectors of the economy mostly white collar jobs, but we’re in the middle of a peak of inflated expectations. This has happened before with other technologies.
