In my first couple years of professional programming, I put in a little joke for other devs and testers. The URL shown to users to update their app was stored in the Windows Registry. I added some code that defaulted this value to the "Never Gonna Give You Up" video when the registry value was not set--a common condition when testing code.

What I didn't realize was that deleting the registry was a common action our tech support had people try when they called in. Turns out I ended up Rick Rolling a bunch of our customers!

In the 90s the pharmaceutical situation was vastly different than today, too.

To be nihilistic today is not cultural, but a manifestation of the 50 different pills one is taking, which are literally killing the spirit, killing ones health, and trapping one in despair, with no escape. Shame. Shame. Shame.

Lots of opportunities for friendship in something like jiu jitsu. It's not for everyone, but it's interesting because it is a physically close sport, you get used to basically hugging everyone for a sport, it's both physically and intellectually hard to learn, and there's a common language around it. Easy to identify people at your skill level and meetup for open mats, share videos of techniques, etc.

There's a million examples of this out there, regardless of what you find interesting. Art, music, sport, working out, adventure, travel, computers, flying, whatever.

I find it baffling people keep talking about disappearing third spaces. There's so much opportunity to do interesting things with interesting people!
Trying to get people fired crosses a line into harassment, as far as I'm concerned. But if we are talking about mere words on the screen, nothing else, then you do have the ability to turn the device off and walk away.

Speaking with Federal government experience, I'm 99 percent certain that what you describe is go-to-jail illegal to do with Federal funds absent explicit authorization. There is some ability to move funds around to do different things, but generally only related things and only with a paper trail of sign-offs from the proper authorities. Congress programs a budget, and that budget is expected to be spent as designed in Federal land. If there's X dollars allocated for, say, sending reservists on travel for training, you can move that money around to send a different group of people to a different base, but you can't use it to renovate the office.

It's a simple string substitution at the display level - fedetwitter.com becomes fedex.com, but at the link level fedetwitter.com remains. It's just replacing the content of the a tag, but not underlying href location.

Thanks! And definitely hear you on the suggestion, it's something we've heard from other users so we'll implement that
Don't take this as a defense of what is a harebrained idea; but this kind of replacement should be easy to do correctly. You know; in such a way where only real twitter.com links are changed to x.com.

Honestly it is only somewhat surprising to me that no one noticed the error ahead of time. On the one hand, this is the type of mistake I do see in reviews from time to time... usually in the form of a regex that is not anchored to the start of the string, or perhaps it uses a non escaped period which of course means "any character" in regex. On the other hand, it is revealing about the kinds of controls in place that it got through.
Per the older Mashable article above, it is _partially_ fixed, in that they don't do it for the examples in the article but do do it for other cases.

The persecution complex that comes along with this tends to make him view dissenting views as the work of invisible enemies.
It seems this may have only affected the X on iOS App. [1] That greatly expands the range of possible causes. It also makes this quite odd in another way as well, because it suggests this was not a server side change.

10% of last month revenue was donated to FFmpeg
> 95 windows open

You have a problem. First step is to admit it. Second step is to install firefox with OneTab and session manager addons. Third (optional) step is find some way to backup or export these to firefox so you can restore some sanity to your workflow. Save the windows that logically fit in single sessions using session manager. Send the rest (stuff like hacker news articles) to Onetab. Once you've done that, you can accept the fact that you sent most of these tabs to die and you will likely never open them again. But they are always there if you need to resurrect them ;) (Also good idea to back up your firefox profile folder(s)).

Happy Browsing.

People should not go out when they are sick. That they do so because of a logistical and financial situation, trading other peoples health for economical gain, is a very bad situation for everyone involved. A piece of cloth over their face may be a symbol for "better than nothing" solution, but it is a very problematic starting point for a discussion regarding pandemics.

The best solution to this problem in general is social welfare. One such choice that countries did during the pandemic was to encourage or force work-from-home, and reducing the economical friction of sick leave. When the situation is so bad that people have to choose between externalities and major negative personal impact, society can help by stepping in by pushing the right choice while at the same time reducing that negative personal impact. It is a social solution to a social issue.

People as a group can be good and evil, just as an individual. Society can choose to ignore citizens logistical and financial problems while at the same time expect people to act altruistic. A major reason for that will coincidental also be the logistical and financial situation of that country, so they may as an alternative choose an better than nothing solution to it. Sub-optimal as it is.

So basically JDBC? :) I think a similar approach is used with the crypto provider API and some others

IIRC (in JDBC) you also used to have to do `Class.forName("name.of.it")` somewhere before trying to do any DB access, to ensure that the static initializers had actually run, but I don't believe it's necessary anymore

(And then of course you have Spring Boot autoconfiguring which is another level of magic up, using automatic subclassing and proxy injection to add things like transaction management. And then you can get into proper classloader hackery)

Did you configure the Eero to spoof the Orbi's BSSID?

It's not really "secure" in the academic sense of the word, but many devices record the BSSID along with the SSID to be a little more safe from hijacking.

It's trivial to spoof the BSSID if you're an attacker since it's something that's just advertised wirelessly.
I am not imagining myself part of the local population. Of course I am just a tourist staying there for a few days, I am talking about how it "feels to me".

Here's a web app engineer perspective: delivery to the customer's laptop is likely over HTTP so the mechanism is taking customer text input, calling API's and delivering results.

In its simplest form (again from a web app engineer's viewpoint) LLMs ingest text, organize that data (a very complicated process I don't understand fully, nor need to), and provide API's to output text given some set of inputs so this resembles very closely working on Elastic or other search engine technology. A caveat is the API's being called likely maintain state in the sense of keeping track of inputs, context and outputs. I would classify someone that is working on this as more of an API/backend engineer. They need to understand the AI/LLM data model being used which is very specific and the use cases around it but they did not engineer the AI/LLM data model themselves, it was likely some other R&D engineers.

Edit to add: AI engineer to me is the R&D people I reference above - the ones building the data model that others use.

Name just one that's not 50% more expensive than an Arc A770, though.

I don't own an Intel GPU and have no intention of buying one, but if you're ignoring everything besides raw-performance then you're missing the point. This was an excellent first-showing for Intel, and their 16gb budget card hit the market right when everyone was pissing and moaning about low VRAM. It's a miracle they're not worse really.

Salty ex-Twitter developers too busy huffing their own farts to remember when the pre-Elon CISO (mudge) was fired after he uncovered how messed up things were behind the scenes, then filed a whistleblower complaint and testified before Congress.

Twitter was not a marvel of engineering pre-Elon, despite the fantasy arrogant former developers keep perpetuating. Their infrastructure was barely held together with duct tape.
Can you share how you did the marketing? Was it just twitter? I'm getting ready to launch an app right now and have no idea where to start with marketing.
There isn't really anything like this. Writing fast Python mostly means avoiding obvious blunders like copying huge things unnecessarily and calling out to C a lot. The latter thing isn't useful for interviews though.
I haven't seen any strong evidence that that was the real reason he was ousted. It seems more to me like something that was too good not to go viral, rather than actual fact.

This depends a lot on the usecase. For example, data scientists prefer using libraries like dask and polars for faster analyses. What you are asking is, in a way, looking under the hood of such libraries. Oftentimes, you will find that under the hood there's C or Rust code.. anyway, check these articles: https://pythonspeed.com/
> I would say, there is no such thing as fast Python code. It's not the purpose of the language.

It's not the purpose of the language but (business) needs don't generally care about such things. Sometimes you can't rewrite in rust for a variety of reasons and then it can pay off to know what's faster rather than slower in CPython.

Person 1 adds code that uses this with Pandas. Person 2 sees the csvbase:// URIs and copy/pastes them to use with some other library Foozle that uses URIs and it works because Foozle also happens to use fsspec. Foozle migrates off of fsspec to some other filesystem wrapper. 3 years later, after persons 1 and 2 have left the company, person 3 bumps the version of Foozle the project uses and suddenly tests are failing because they can't resolve csvbase:// URIs, but the Foozle release notes say nothing about removing support for csvbase:// URIs.

Most meat substitutes are _way_ more complex than producing a single protein, tho (though, one of the oldest, quorn, is pretty much just a simple fungus-produced protein with other stuff added later, and I think is cheaper by weight than most meat).

> A chicken egg at a grocery store right now costs about $.25, so that's the number to beat.

Well, not really; they're producing albumen for industrial use, so there's some extra processing that that egg has to undergo that they get to skip. I would wonder also can they charge a small premium for what is presumably a much more consistent product; they shouldn't have to worry about bits of egg shell or blood spots or differing densities or all the other complexities that come from using a natural product.

Double-entry bookkeeping is very easy to understand once you ditch the ridiculous "credit" and "debit" terminology.

Essentially, the goal is to keep the accounting equation true at all times. The equation is: Equity = Assets - Liabilities. Eventually, earnings (Income - Expenses) will become part of equity, so splitting that out, you have: Equity + Income - Expenses = Assets - Liabilities. Rearranging to get rid of the minus signs you get: Equity + Income + Liabilities = Assets + Expenses. This equation must be true or something has gone wrong - like money appearing or disappearing out of nowhere. To keep it true at all times, it should be clear that any time you add money to an account on the left side of the equation (say, to an Income account), you must either add the same amount to an account on the other side or subtract the same amount from the same side.

For example, you sell a lemonade for $5. You add $5 to Sales (Income) and add $5 to Current Account (Assets).

The "credit" and "debit" terminology is ridiculous because their definitions swap around depending on which account you're talking about, which is an utterly absurd (mis)use of language and the main reason people find this confusing.

Then take the chance and make a name for yourself by proposing a better state system than the one in Switzerland. I hope you are not suggesting the tyranny of minorities, on which various works also exist.

It is in the nature of human beings that a few will always be dissatisfied, no matter how well off they are or what form of society is applied.

The sovereignty of the Swiss people is a compromise that came about on a voluntary basis through the coming together of people from different regions and languages. No one is forced to live in Switzerland, and yet a considerable part of the world seems to want to do so.
Intel Gaudi 3 has more interconnect bandwidth than this has memory bandwidth. By a lot. I guess they can't be fairly compared without knowing the TCO for each. I know in the past Google's TPU per-chip specs lagged Nvidia but the much lower TCO made them a slam dunk for Google's inference workloads. But this seems pretty far behind the state of the art. No FP8 either.
The first one is obviously distinguishable. It’s an action against competitors.

I’ll save myself the trouble of doing your research for you and ask if any of these involved a fact pattern where customers of a service sharing price info with each other is considered a trade secret.

Here’s a hint: if I am the customer and I am describing something that I myself did, specifically the outcome of a business decision I made on how much to pay, that’s not someone else’s trade secret.
It’s a “get off my lawn” take from someone who has worked in video and film for well over a decade. I have almost never watched a video tutorial an any subject and thought “that was informative and a good use of my time”. As others have pointed out, there is absolutely a way to show step by step how to do something with “static” media. Take the example of an IKEA assembly manual: think about how they are well conceived, and now imagine the absolute hell of having a video showing you the same instructions. Think of all the pauses, rewinds and fast forwards that would be necessary.

And since we are doing half-assed attacks, yours is a very naive take. Setting aside that most “short form video” on social media is not even used to actually convey information (as in the “productivity/office” sense of the original article), the reason video is dominating social media is because 1) advertisers pay way more to have ads shown before a video than among static content and 2) it is much more complicated to do Ad Blocking on video than on static content.
