Reliability: Gut feeling. I'm a support engineer. The modern DevOps/Cloud stack is just garbage. People only believe they save money with it because they don't calculate in what they will pay me.

UI usability: This is a discoverable, good UI: https://jbss.de/bilder/scr118d.gif . You can instantly tell what is a button, where you can enter text and what is inert. You can even read out all the hotkeys from the screenshot. Now, without hovering over it with your mouse, check the header of this post (the grey line) and tell me which strings will take you to a place (= are a link), which do an action (= are a button) or are inert. They all look the same and you need to investigate it first with the cursor. And even then you can't tell the buttons ("flag", "vouch") apart from the links ("parent", "context").

Latency and performance: I played RTS games for 15 years. Despite getting old and rustly, i easily hit 120 APM during office work. I can tell if an application can handle it. Things like the Windows Start menu were fast enough for me until like Vista, but now they aren't - i need to wait a bit or i click before it is popped up.

Not at Chainguard but I've watched their growth.

I think this comes down to audience. To a lot of engineers it's just like ... "OK, that's nice. What else?"

But for security teams in large enterprises, Chainguard is like manna from heaven. They immediately understand what is really being sold: the elimination of enormous amounts of compulsory toil due to upgrading vulnerable software -- or having to nag other teams to do it.

It's a bit like visiting the site of a medical devices manufacturer. I probably don't know what the device does, but the target audience sure do.

I had a 9 mile ride one way to work for a while, no shower. Honestly it wasn’t so bad for me, even though i would have liked one. I had a small towel, deodorant, fresh clothes, and could rinse my face and change in the bathroom.

I remember feeling great everyday.

Now my commute is 20 feet. I miss having an office.
Grid fins aren't drag devices. They are control surfaces. As long as they are oriented so the fins are aligned with the airflow, they have no effect on orientation. The benefit of not folding them in is one less part that can fail. There might be a slight reduction in drag by folding them in, but not much and apparently not worth it.

Not really, because broken proxies include anti-virus software that sits at the endpoint, as well as corporate TLS-MITMing boxes.

Browsers have spent years trying to find a way to deploy pipelining, but nothing really worked. You can't even allowlist based on known-good User-Agent or Via headers, because the broken proxies are often transparent. It's also very hard to detect pipelining errors, because you don't just get responses out of order, you may get response bodies mangled or interleaved.

The idea is truly dead. With H2 being widely supported now, and having superior pipelining in every way, there's no incentive to retry the pain of deossifying H1.

For the context for those who are not in the industry, there are many branches of algorithmic trading: portfolio optimisation, high-frequency trading, technical analysis and so on. All of them are very different from each other, needing different skillsets. Only minority is “flashboys” style high-frequency trading with shorter cables, C++ and FPGA devices. A lot can be accomplished just by figuring out daily and monthly asset price movements.

If you are interested in algorithmic trading, have some Python and Pandas background, I published a tutorial this week that goes in detail about how to develop algorithms, trading strategies in this case, where does the excessive profit comes from and how to backtest your trading ideas:

For very simple strategies, PhD in math and statistics is unnecessary (albeit helpful).
This does not seem like a fair criticism or framing of the situation. Every country Germany occupied was used to support Germany's war efforts. The country had little choice but to surrender, they were hung out to dry by their allies.

Despite this, they still resisted at great personal cost. Heydrich was assassinated in Prague by Czech resistance fighters. The reprisals were brutal, with thousands killed in response. My grandmother who is still alive lived through this time. Every day at school they announced the names of those executed by the Natzis in order to intimidate the populace.

I didn't find anything - total clickbait headline - but it was interesting to note the utter lack of reasonable ACLing in the university's campus food-ordering system, as well as the social engineering "attack" of posing as users to post their project and get actual users to try it.
"Today, Chainguard announced that it has become a Docker Verified Publisher (DVP)"

Anyone know how that works? Does Chainguard need to pay Docker for this? What does the verification process look like?
Many organizations pay people (or entire teams) to maintain a suite of hardened images, either for device/firmware applications, or because they use many languages in-house, etc. This is definitely one of those business models I thought "oh, of course" as soon as I saw it.

Umm... Like, pretty clearly H2 wasn't meant to be the Holy Grail? Not sure where you're getting that from. (Though as an aside, it feels like you've now backtracked from "H2 is a failure that's worse than H1" through "H2 was a marginal improvement" to "H2 wasn't the holy grail".)

It didn't need to be the Holy Grail to be worth creating. It just needed to be better than H1 was, or better than what H1 could be evolved to with the same amount of effort. And likewise, it's totally possible for H2 to be better than H1 while also H3 is better than H2.

You appear to be confused by the idea that somebody would ever create something other than the absolute best possible thing. Why create H2 first, rather than just jump straight to H3?

One obvious reason is that H2 is far less complex than H3 thanks to piggybacking on TCP as the transport mechanism. The downside is that you then have to deal with all the problems of TCP as well. At the time, there would have been a lot of optimism about eliminating those problems by evolving TCP. An extension for connection migration, an extension for 0-RTT connection setup, an extension for useful out of order data delivery, etc.

It was only a bit later that it became clear just how ossified TCP was. Up until then, one could have told a story about how Microsoft controlled the primary client operating system, and were not really motivated to implement the RFCs in a timely manner, and that's why the feature rollouts were taking a decade. In the 2010s, it became clear that evolution was impossible even when all the coordination and motivation was there. See TCP Fast Open for a practical example.

So around 2015-ish you see big tech companies switch to UDP-based protocols just so that they can actually do protocol evolution.

The other plausible reason is that it's going to be far easier to get the initial work for making H2 funded, since the scope is more limited. And once you show the real-world gains (which, again, would have been there since H2 is better than H1), you then have the credibility to get funding for a more ambitious project.

Not quite. A full protein, zero carb diet can be lethal quite quickly. I suggest you read about the dietary phenomenon called "rabbit starvation" (it has nothing to do with rabbits starving to death).

3d printed houses exist. Why not crank out a ton of em in the middle of nowhere and build dedicated passenger rail into a metro location?
Cool breakdown.

A few thoughts:

1. I would never be so brazen (brave? have the guts?) as to try all of this. I would expect to be rate limited and throttled or banned or get a nasty letter from a lawyer or something.

2. The HTTPie thing was interesting. I am still not quite sure what that application is, but I am definitely going to stick with curl now.

3. They demknstrated a number of interesting strategies unrelated to tech per se like registering that new domain and getting people to add them as a guest account and making those fake posts on what I presume is a university message board type thing. I bet this is how people who are good at stuff like “growth hacking” or developing engagement numbers and such work. Pretty clever. Still makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.

A cool story. I was hoping the demo image would say “you at $300 of omelets” but I guess it is probably not that fine grained?
Cool project and write up.

An aside - while I love the snark and making fun of these "legacy" systems, it has given me a window into my own maturity as an engineer. I was absolutely this cavalier and cocky about poorly implemented systems I've been a user or admin of in the past. But having now spent nearly a decade and a half getting paid for this work and seeing a lot of stuff and the evolution of best practices, I have much more empathy for the organizations and authors of these systems. There are very very few programs that ever achieve something like elegance and beauty when they collide with the real world.
What age do we decide is appropriate? At the dawn of ubiquitous cell phones, I got my first one at ~15. Still very young and very impressionable. I'm 35 now, but I feel like the world has moved on in that regard. I'm not totally sure a blanket ban would solve more problems than it would create. I am, however, admittedly out of touch.

Why? Plenty of boosters re-enter uncontrolled and burn up all the time.
Curing and especially smoking is fairly hostile to tapeworms but not guaranteed to eliminate them. Roundworms like trichinella you get through cysts in the meat, which I don't think are reliably destroyed by any normal charcuterie process.

The main way of avoiding it is simply skilled and honorable handling of the product at all stages. The US and europe eliminated trichinella by setting farm hygiene requirements, and frankly by killing a lot of contaminated hogs, by throwing out a lot of meat that shows signs of infection.

It's one of the reasons charcuterie is so expensive. Even at a high level of technical skill it's not an extremely reliable process, and a lot of product has to be discarded for various reasons. All of that loss needs to be covered by the final price of the good stuff.

This implies that YT has humans that are not in sales. It feels like YT just has bots building more bots at this point.
Yeah, RPA suffers from brittleness largely due to the focus on repeating clicks on specific regions of the screen vs. letting the system figure out what to click.

Some RPA products have improved this using computer vision so they can more reliably click on the right things.

But I agree that the introduction of natural language is new. But I see that as primarily a change in interface, not outcome. i.e. eliminating tasks that involve systematically doing the same things over and over already has options. This new generation of tech just makes it far easier. I’m sure RPA tools will incorporate it.

I’ll also be curious to see how this kind of thing translates to legacy thick clients where access to the DOM can’t be used to “understand” the interface.
Has the cost gone up, or have expectations? None of my friends paid for subscriotions for anything but a landline, cooked moat of their food, and wore years old clothes a couple decades ago. People consume at a much faster rate today.

Nah. They say they do, but they aren't actually willing to put any effort toward it and they shut down discourse when it is mentioned all the time in practice.

Until you acknowledge this, you're just contributing to misandry, indirectly.
My point exactly.

Markets are always forward looking. My guess is that the value of the AI data is effectively "priced in" as it's pretty much the sole reason for the IPO. Markets would look and say "well, ok, what's next?" and since Reddit most likely has no idea what is next, or even has the ability to create new products, the stock value would drop pretty hard.

Single-product companies don't really work well when it comes to public markets, unless they come with pretty big growth upside in terms of recurring revenue and consumer market penetration.
Nice, I'll have to check it out again this year. Might be a good chance to look into Helix, too.
In which the industry continues to miss the core issue of estimation: task complexity is the shoreline paradox. The reason people fail to communicate lateness is the same reason they make "poor" estimates to begin with. You cannot "realise you are late" any more than you can "realise your estimate is wrong" before the task is complete. The hard part is deciding at what level of internal risk/concern you feel you need to raise the issue and suggest that the deadline is likely to be missed.

The lower a task's fractal dimension is, the easier it is to automate. Therefore, the majority of ticketed engineering work has a high fractal dimension. That is, much of its complexity is unforeseen and unknown. It follows that estimates will be inaccurate.

This is the reason people can continue to shill techniques, tools, and processes that proclaim to solve this problem. I propose leaning into this shoreline model and accept your tasks have a high fractal dimension, and use a multiplicative factor on all your estimates.

Alas, this boring solution is both too mathematically motivated and sounds too much like an admission of failure (or of "messing up") to be accepted anywhere I've worked.

Heh, that's actually one of my favorite Norm Macdonald jokes. Didn't know that it wasn't his invention though, thanks.

And fwiw, yeah, this covers the conundrum nicely.
The wine is a bit much for a mid day meal at work, operating heavy machinery on alcohol isn't the best idea but the cheese and bread are a lovely mid day meal. Cheese is very digestible and high in protein so it's going to sit less heavy than a piece of meat. Bread is carbs and helps with energy during the day. Maybe throw in some high quality French butter and you've got a delicious meal.
They've been in use since the 90s, actually[0].

My understanding is that the earlier rolling code systems are easily defeated and I think this can be done (possibly with stock firmware) using a Flipper Zero.

Prior to that, garage doors had a set of DIP switches (16, or 32, I can't remember). You matched the switch configuration on your opener with the switch configuration on the controller. And as you might imagine, in a typical suburban area about 80% of the garage doors are set to all zeros.

Because the range of the devices was "lucky if you can open the door from the bottom of your driveway", most people didn't notice this. Of course that meant you could open a large number of garage doors by sending the "0" signal for each manufacturer with enough wattage.

Compatible models are made by reverse engineering each individual model's rolling code implementation (in the early days) and making an accessory that had the necessary seed value or other component to allow it to be "paired" with a compatible door head unit. Considering it wasn't uncommon for the higher-end models to charge $150 for an accessory remote, manufacturers had a bit of incentive to roll their own slightly incompatible implementations.

This is from memory and minimal memory at that, but -- late 90s or early 00s, I think, "HomeLink" was created, which basically allowed car manufacturers to integrate a door opener into the car. If you bought a higher-end model, your visor might have the buttons in it. I believe licensing allowed third-parties to easily create fully compatible accessories at that point (pay a fee, get the patent license/datasheets sort of arrangement).

[0] Genie thinks they were first in 1995 but I seem to recall we had a rolling code door installed as early as 1993.

I just read the actual study quoted just to get an idea of what they're claiming, and this further seems to indicate that 'light' labor was anything but...

> 4. The average daily calorie intake of men doing light work was about 600 Cal./day less than that of men doing heavy work. The previous failure to differentiate between intakes was thus not confirmed. The estimated calorie expenditure per minute, excluding what was require for basal metabolism, was on an average 2-2 Cal. for light work, 2-7 for light to medium work, 2.6 for medium to medium heavy work and
3-8 for heavy work.

2.2cal/min would equate to 1320cal additional burned for a 10 hour day! That's clearly far, far above typical calories used in an office job.

I guarantee that you took Adderall IR, and a higher dose than those typically prescribed by a doctor. It’s like slamming back 10 cups of espresso instead of sipping one over a day. And then judging people who drink a coffee a day.

Slow release and a therapeutic dose is significantly different than slamming back meds in school like that. Therapeutic dose means you can’t even tell you took the med, until you either stop or look back at the day and record how much you were able to achieve.

Yes, some doctors are bad and calculate a dosage based on weight or other arbitrary means. Good doctors and psychiatrists start you on the lowest dose and slowly titrate you up based on DSM guidelines.

Lastly, medication for ADHD is something that makes all the actual effective treatments do-able. It’s a first step not a crux.
Having to know structs is not really an issue - you also need to know text formats, JSON schemas, what not.

Re-ordering of structs is always forbidden with the binary format being strictly specified, so there's nothing to worry about there. Can't exactly shuffle bytes in a text format either, and plan9 control strings tend to have positional arguments.

The current structs do leave something to be desired though.
Exactly, they’ve reached feature parity with large expendable launch systems so they can piggyback paying customers with a high risk threshold (starlink) on flights they’d be doing anyways. Given their cadence this phase won’t last long, they’ll likely achieve at least one successful landing next flight.
Bad title, good article. It's about exploiting security flaws in a university meal accounts website to build a Spotify-wrapped style summary of student's eating habits.

In my experience, software estimation's biggest problem is piss-poor management. A few years ago, I worked at a company that needed to move off of a legacy system. They had 5 years notice and the contract from the old legacy system had a hard stop (IE: after this date, we could no longer use the system).

This system was running our entire business and had lots of moving parts. Management dragged their feet until there was 1 year to go. Our entire team ended up working nights and weekends and holidays From August->January. Most nights didn't end until 1am and we were expected to come in the next day at 8am for work.

We would have worked Christmas day, but the director thought the company would get sued because it was a religious holiday. Management didn't have to work any of these long hours.

There also wasn't any automated testing (and the company didn't want to dedicate any resources to it), so you needed to send in these hundred-column .csv files with various pieces of information on it and had to hope that after you got it all working correctly, that the next change to the system didn't break everything (this happened constantly, which also contributed to the longer hours).

The deadline was overshot by about a month, but they somehow were able to get a contract extension.

Management said this wouldn't happen again, but of course, they tried to do it again with a different project. At this point, I left.
I work at Chainguard.

In a nutshell we produce minimal container images with a low CVE count. In many cases they should be drop in replacements for the containers you are currently using.

This is particularly useful if your team uses a scanner like trivy/snyk/grype/Docker Scout and spends time investigating CVEs. Less CVES == less time investigating. It can also be critical in regulated environments.
