An absolutely fantastic publication, nice to see it still going.

If you can find it there's a 1000 page hardback compendium of some of the best articles available too.
Anecdotal but I was looking for permanent positions both at the beginning of last year and beginning of this year. For a frontend developer role in Europe.

I've been having significantly more interviews and recruiters contacting me (and following up) this year.
This is welcome, but the fact you can add a prompt, then find that signup is required, and the prompt is lost once you finally sign in is frustrating.

Fortunately if you go back in the browser history, it is still there.
Sorry, you might know, I don't know you and didn't want to belittle you, so with "we" I've meant me and the clueless public.
Ah yep I misread the post I’m replying to, my bad.
Even im fascinated by such things. I would definitely suggest you to read a book titled ‘The Toaster Project’ where the artist tries to create a toaster from scratch including the plastic casing.

This also inspired me to write about a thought experiment called ‘Man from the Future’: https://rishikeshs.com/man-from-the-future/
It shows encrypted streams that neither you or I can decipher. By default, either will spend its day scraping your surroundings (wifi and bluetooth) and report it back home, unless you opt-out (which both allow). Both are equally evil in my book.
the main benefit probably lies within a 'saturation attack' aka overwhelming defenses by numbers. cheap drones are a gamechanger
Every piece of hardware starts out as "out of kernel", the meaningful comparison is whether support has any chance of being upstreamed to Linux/Uboot and other such projects. And Pine64 will still fare a lot better on that score than the random fly-by-night Aliexpress vendors you're comparing them to, if only because of their FLOSS-friendly community orientation.
Apple should not be at fault! As simple as that.

For reference, 2600 is a famous phreaking and hacking e-zine from the earlier days. The name 2600 itself is a reference to the 2600hz frequency used in Phone phreaking.

> 1. No one, at least not OP, ever said it's a inherent flaw of JBIG2. The fact it's an implementation error on XeroX's end is a good technical detail to know, but it is irrelevant to the topic.

It is relevant only when you assume that lossy compression has no way to control or even know of such critical changes. In reality most lossy compression algorithms use a rate-distortion optimization, which is only possible when you have some idea about "distortion" in the first place. Given that the error rarely occurred in higher dpis, its cause should have been either a miscalculation of distortion or a misconfiguration of distortion thresholds for patching.

In any case, a correct implementation should be able to do the correct thing. It would have been much problematic if similar cases were repeated, since it would mean that it is much harder to write a correct implementation than expected, but that didn't happen.

> Majority of traditional compressions would make text unreadable when compression is too high or the source material is too low-resolution. They don't substitute one number for another in an "unambiguous" way (i.e. it clearly shows a wrong number instead of just a blurry blob that could be both).

Traditional compressions simply didn't have much computational power to do so. The "blurry blob" is something with lower-frequency components only by definition, and you have only a small number of them, so they were easier to preserve even with limited resources. But if you have and recognize a similar enough pattern, it should be exploited for further compression. Motion compensation in video codecs were already doing a similar thing, and either a filtering or intelligent quantization that preserves higher-frequency components would be able to do so too.

> 2. "Lower DPI" is extremely common if your definition for that is 300dpi. At my company, all the text document are scanned at 200dpi by default. And 150dpi or even lower is perfectly readable if you don't use ridiculous compression ratios.

I admit I have generalized too much, but the choice of scan resolution is highly specific to contents, font sizes and even writing systems. If you and your company can cope with lower DPIs, that's good for you, but I believe 300 dpi is indeed the safe minimum.
I would definitely frame it. I framed an email from Norvig and a note from Dijkstra. Get joy from small things.
My point was just that startups can still make rockets and planes, therefore this isn't "absolute nonsense".

As far as "turning a good profit", well, you might be right but that very much remains to be seen at this stage?
The time taken for any process is still limited by Amdahl's law. You can't make inherently serial parts any faster by throwing more cores at it.
> Founders are free to make agreements to swap equities of their companies with each other.

Only in theory.

Firstly it depends on the shareholders agreement, and other contracts with the VC. Co-Sale rights, First Refusal rights, drag-along etcetera etcetera can easily effectively prevent selling common shares. Or clauses just put the idea into the too hard basket.

Secondly: nobody wants to give away voting rights. Small investors don't care about voting rights in public companies so they forget just how important voting is in private companies

Thirdly: the necessary diversification would need to swap more than 50% of shares to get effective diversification. Good luck with that!!

Forthly: the dynamic would be that everyone would want to swap their shares with the perceived best startup in the cohort. It just wouldn't work. The only way it could work would be if founders got some ownership of a VC fund.

> little more diversified.

Exactly: not diversified enough. VCs often own significant percentages of the companies they invest in. And they own preferential shares. Common shares have a completely different risk profile than preferential shares.
Thank you so much! Very helpful to see how it's a foundation for moving on to other tools.
JetBrains' next gen CI/CD with self-optimizing pipelines
Same. The CF templates are a nightmare at any reasonable size.
Despite what the other commenters are saying, it is bizarre.

1. There is very little you can safely do in a signal handler. For a threaded application, that pretty much boils entirely down to setting a bit and leaving it at that. If they did anything more, the behavior is undefined.

2. The memory state that a program receiving a SIGSEGV in is often undefined/garbage, and attempting to execute further at this point is at best unsafe, at worst trampling on state further, continuing execution in a broken state and destroying all evidence that would be useful for debugging - whereas a coredump preserves the state at the time the issue occurs.

There are cases where you need to catch SIGBUS, such as if an anonymous file has been truncated after you mmap'ed it.
Thank you. That's super helpful!
I have two emails in my work Inbox in this order.

One that says don't update mac os to avoid breaking Java.
Another that essentially says upgrade macos to latest version within x days else the issue will be escalated.

It is going to be quite a hassle for IT teams across companies to deal with this problem.
Can’t you root both of those to setup a proxy to decrypt and see for yourself? If it’s encrypted, how can you tell that’s what it's doing to say with such certainty there?
I love what I see!
Noop looks great for local development, and deployment to cloud services.
I'll give it a try as soon as possible.

These are the pain points I'm looking for:
- avoid vendor lock-in (avoid using Vercel, also for bandwidth cost)
- continuous deployment (push to git)
- let's encrypt certificates auto-renewal
- scaling? (might be not necessary TBH)
I use these models regularly, and Claude is dumb as a rock compared to GPT-4.
How interesting. I didn't know that about the Scratch course at Harvard. Seems like it is a good intro for sure. Thank you!
Every single one of their before & after photos looks worse in the after.

The cartoons & illustrations lose all of their gradations in feeling & tone with every outline a harsh edge. The landscapes lose any sense of lushness and atmosphere, instead taking a high-clarity HDR look. Faces have blemishes inserted the original actor never had. Fruit is replaced with wax imitation.

As an artist, I would never run any of my art through anything like this.
Hardware is getting cheaper and more plentiful.

If you need AI to do more work and you need more hardware, you just buy more hardware. And this becomes more true with time.
Super helpful. Thank you.
Neanderthals created stone tools held together by a multi-component adhesive
Been saying this for as long as I’ve been using macOS: it is not a developer friendly OS and am close to the conclusion that this reputation is a psy-op. Yeah it’s pretty, it mostly works when the box is first turned on and the hardware is unmatched but macOS itself is actually subpar. QA seems second tier, things you’d except from other OSes like, I don’t know, using a third party second display are just bad experiences. Docker sucks, posix compatibility is technically there but isn’t really useful, the thing randomly loses network and only rebooting fixes it. I reboot my corporate Mac more often than I rebooted my windows enterprise laptop.
> The lack of shuttles from those hotels to the terminal

https://www.heathrow.com/content/dam/heathrow/web/common/doc...

Admittedly, the local bus services around the airport which used to be free of charge (prior to 2021) are now chargable, but at less than £2 per trip the services are hardly expensive and are fairly fast and very frequent ... unlike the Hotel Hoppa services which seem primarily designed to rip off unsuspecting visitors.
That sounds like a great method.

But that's the gist of the article here, right? That Postgres is taking over all db-like use cases. It doesn't claim that it can replace Kafka but https://www.amazingcto.com/postgres-for-everything/ certainly does. Of course it's not a full replacement, but it might be good enough.
How does that work? Do pilots have an automatic visa / permanent residency to places they fly to?
Because people keep throwing huge amounts of money and content to Elsevier while asking them to stop making money.

This isn't a defense of Elsevier by the way. The scholarly system is abysmal for publications and it's seemingly incapable of any meaningful change over non-geological timeframes.

But if you keep paying people to do something then they're going to keep doing it. If they stop, someone else will appear if that's the kind of thing you're funding.

What's insane to me is the biggest complaints come from three main groups - scientists, libraries/the universities that fund them, and funders. The content producers keep giving Elsevier content, the libraries keep buying it and the funders keep paying the content producers to give their content to Elsevier. Universities keep demanding academics give their content and their time for free to these journals else they don't get the progression they want.

Elsevier is a nasty symptom but a symptom non-the-less of this dysfunction. Those groups can absolutely change how things are done but the field moves glacially.
Is this considered unusual? I’ve used minor variations of all of these except the sleeping on the shins posture, and I’m from Europe, not some African tribe.

Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data
> Sending a working person a 14 page letter about anything expecting them to read it is wild to me

His addressees were members of the editorial board. Surely the editorial board should be accustomed to reading lengthy prose?

Now, writing a 14-page letter, of a quality that matches published articles, is what's wild to me.
I think times were a little different then; when I had a company begin 2000s, we used to send long emails with details before and after meetings, and there had less and more productive meetings because everyone read these emails/docs. Now I try to send only 1 liners, because people tend to literally only read the first line and then ram the reply button and blurb some studied remark like 'ok'. And then these same folks drag out meetings asking, in a pathetic show of laziness, to 'go over the email'. If there is anything I find cringe, it's 'let's go over the email together'. It's just saying; 'I couldn't be arsed to read it and I want to waste everyone's time'.
Great directory website! Love the filters, I'll check it out — Thanks!
I’ve been using macOS as my primary development environment for the past ~4 years and have loved every minute of it. I haven’t run into any of the issues you’ve mentioned thankfully, and docker works absolutely fine for my use cases. I can’t see myself ever switching for any reason.
Imagine all devs working on macs, myself included. If I were to update and I can't run java, I can't work so this is pretty serious.
I think there is room in the Android ecosystem for a producer to make and sell bloatware less phones, a bit like Apple does, and at steep markup too !
> News like these are the major reason why I apply updates only after long periods of waiting if anything blows up for others.

But then you are accepting that you are running an exploitable OS since you are lacking the latest security fixes. Not sure if that‘s an acceptable tradeoff.
Yes, I’m surprised that in a time those creatures existed on land something much larger didn’t existed at sea. My rudimentary knowledge of the past was that dinosaurs weren’t some anomaly, everything was large back then.

Yet. Our current reality is the largest land animal is oversized by 30x by the blue whale.
Worth noting that UK missiles (but not warheads) are taken from a joint pool with the US. They have completely shared maintenance, so any reliability concerns are shared. Similarly, the testing is also joint so this should be seen as two failures out of all trident tests rather than two UK failures.

Not that that is a fun headline of course.

Obviously everything around it is super secret but the muttering around this one seemed to be that the rocket noticed the warhead seemed wrong (which it was because you don't strap a real nuke to it!) And aborted itself. I only add this because I think its interesting.
It looks good! Thanks

I'm not into Python, but it looks great ;-)
When I was 16, I inherited a bit of money. Not a large sum at all, but enough so that I could afford a new bed, a bookshelf and some nick-nacks from my local furniture store. Being 16, I didn't exactly put much thought into how kind my new mattress would be to my back down the line, and so I managed to find the firmest mattress known to man.

At first, it was hard to sleep on, but I'm lazy, and so I kept it. That was a good decision. Today, I have a much softer mattress, and let me tell you, I'm suffering.

Whenever I go camping in the summer, where I'm not in need of any insulation, I usually opt for just a simple, thin, foam sleeping pad, and it works wonder. The first couple of nights it's usually quite rough, not uncomfortable mind you, just hard to sleep as it's not as superficially comfortable, but after the initial acclimation my back's so much better.
Soft mattresses are really not suitable for sleeping. From my experience.
I find this article quite insubstantial. He lists alternative sleeping positions, but no sources backing up the claim that "western sleeping positions" (whatever that is) are worse.

Also only one citation, and that is to back up the claim that there are 200 primates.

Nice pictures though - I feel happy that I can sit (relatively) comfortably in the squatting position (as an European).
Never thought of it that way. Thanks friend!
Very interesting. The author of the paper is around, at least according to the internet, at 90+ years of age and still practising physiotherapy.
There is some sample C code to test with, and the issue is actually in the pre-releases. It’s just not in the first couple.
It has never been about how much you eat... unless you truly do have an eating disorder where you are eating far in excess of your daily maintenance value, (anywhere from 1800 to 2400 depending on the individual).

What makes the difference is what you eat. Unmanaged insulin levels, even for so-called "healthy" individuals, leads to weight gain, especially in areas of the body associated with heart disease and stroke.

Your body requires multiple PHds in multiple medical and biochemical disciplines to understand. Trying to slap CICO on everything is both ingenuous and gaslighting.

Want to lose weight? If you already have a healthy calorie intake, decrease simple/refined carbs, increase healthy fats, avoid unhealthy refined oils from plant sources (margarine, crisco, other synthetic lard/fat replacements), increase meat protein if you're not getting at least 4 oz a day, avoid grains entirely if need-be (but certainly, less is more).

Still not working? Increase salt intake, low salt diets interfere with the angiotensin-renin system. Even with people with high blood pressure, lowering sodium intake often drives blood pressure higher (a documented life-saving quirk of physiology), but increasing potassium decreases blood pressure reliably.

Easiest way to achieve this is just to eat a normal, ungimmicky, unbullshitted, whole foods diet. Is it ultraprocessed? Is there more weird-ass chemicals on the box's ingredient list than not? Can you make this, yourself, in your kitchen, following a basic recipe? No? Then don't eat it.
Good strategy, thanks!

Have you ever launched and run a SaaS business? I'm curious to know why you're looking for an admin dashboard (what should it include?) and what's multiuser strategy.

I very predictably have nightmares whenever I fall asleep flat on my back, sleep paralysis kind of things. In Germanic mythology the mare is a demon who sits on your chest, so my conclusion is that I'm not alone in this.
Mine being that large language and diffusion models are trained on "whatever the heck is there, available for scraping on the broad internet, indiscriminately".

I don't think Apple's money or it being in bed with the Majors solves either side of "acknowledging authorship when none is provided/known", "obtaining formal consent for commercial use" or "fairly compensating a creators base" when it is larger than all humans on earth.
> Can someone explain why the weights are posted via a Bittorrent magnet link?

I think the best way to get an answer to that question is to try to host it yourself and see what happens.
Strange. I've got the complete opposite experience.
Most displays work fine. It helps if you stick with models that advertise at least a bit of macOS support (like some Dells or Samsungs).
Docker sucks, but there's Orbstack.
I don't care for posix, but most of my *nix tools are available in Homebrew.

> you could ship logs into Splork, then let it ingest that data into FlorbHut, and then use a frontend like Glorply to search logs

Seriously though, is there a single OSS product that does all of this ? Like, for a small multitenant app (i.e not "web-scale"), and that doesn't force one to get a degree in observability just to get stuff done.
"get statistics" is not what TPC-B does. Nor the invalid queries nor ...

From https://www.tpc.org/tpcb/, a TPC-B workload that pgbench runs by default:

In August 1990, the TPC approved its second benchmark, TPC-B. In contrast to TPC-A, TPC-B is not an OLTP benchmark. Rather, TPC-B can be looked at as a database stress test, characterized by:

Significant disk input/output
Moderate system and application execution time
Transaction integrity

TPC-B measures throughput in terms of how many transactions per second a system can perform. Because there are substantial differences between the two benchmarks (OLTP vs. database stress test), TPC-B results cannot be compared to TPC-A.

...

Transactions are submitted by programs all executing concurrently.

The signal comes from a safe fetch, which is just a read that allows ignoring the fault as if it never happened. Such a signal is deliver synchronously, so the usual restrictions for asynchronous signal handlers do not apply.

The code in question takes into account that the value read might be garbage. See the big comment here: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/29397d29baac3b29083b1b...

On current CPUs and operating systems, this is not an optimization, so the code was removed earlier this year: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8320317

Some people think that with quantity they can paint over a lack of substance, others think writing more looks as if they did more work, yet others don't seem to think.. at all.

Bottom line up. Ususally what you need the other side to grok can be summarized in two sentences. Start with that. Give details after. If you have multiple topics seperate them into sections or make a list.

Any message is something the receiver needs to decode into actionable information. Often the receivers don't have any idea where your mind is, so you first need to being them there. The worst kind of message is one where you need to read all the way to the end to even figure out what the heck it is about and then read it again just to get what they want.
But your blog link has the same issues the author mentioned - not including some modern apps like wezterm and not measuring the full / end-to-end latency
Your original post was to ask why should anyone care about power draw, to which I provided an answer.

Now you shift goalposts to saying you should only care in data centre contexts, in a thread discussing a desktop processor.

It's okay if power consumption doesn't matter to you, but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter to everyone. That's why it's important to have these metrics in the first place and ideally to try and optimise them.
We actually do understand this, scientifically. They are suffering from a high caloric but low nutrition diet. If you put someone on a diet that is high in all of their required nutrients (all the vitamins, all the minerals, all the different amino acids) but otherwise has a caloric density approximating their BMR (so, slightly below their maintenance requirements), their brain won't drive them into a panic and missing a meal isn't a big deal.

Insulin mismanagement is a bitch.
