Also a dream job for many software engineers.
One of the media players I used (on Android) had a bug in which it was susceptible to getting put to sleep when in the background - it would promptly be reawakened by the player service, but that would cause a glitch each time (especially at the transition between tracks). Once I removed the player from the power optimization list, the glitches evaporated entirely. Maybe something to look into, since it's a different cause than the three on your list?

Interesting indeed, a triumph, no.

Right, the idea of running hostile programs on your system is broken by design, Wayland is engaging in folly by trying to protect against it. X11 gives up that pointless quest and, by doing so, at least it can provide some extra user-assistance features (including ones that can help mitigate security related user errors).
This is basically it, with the addition that Finland is no lomger in control of its own money. From the war up until adopting the Euro, Finland would devalue its currency a little over once a decade to keep commodity exports going.

The EMU is a mechanism effectively set up to extract wealth from the european periphery, for the benefit of Germany (and maybe to a lesser extent Framce). Finland is very much on the losing side, along with Greece, Portugal etc.

Perhaps with the difference that the culture is very protestant, with high trust in government. So rather than letting the situatiom deteriorate to what it was in southern Europe durkng the Euro crisis, the populace will flock to the stern faces speaking of deficits in the media, and dutifully vote them in.
Depends. It can have an effect.

Reading Local Variables with Bpftrace
Interesting claim here about engineering org dysfunction:

> FE code has gotten so complex that many orgs now have specialized positions - FE and BE. In practice this means that it's very hard for any one developer to get a fullstack change out.

> Short-term this means that all changes incur extra cost due to context switching and collaboration overhead between FE / BE dev

> Long-term this means a general architectural bias against doing things fullstack. Both sides will go to great lengths to not have to do things fullstack which often leads to suboptimal architectures throughout. This is how we got heavyweight client state management (Redux), interesting RPC protocols (GraphQL), and the push towards JS-only stacks (NextJS, Nuxt, SvelteKit, etc) - all methods to try and lower the pain of FE <> BE communication.
A nasty bit of implicit timezone behavior in Golang. (2021)
> We're claiming that the restrictions should concentrate at a different place than where they concentrate in Rust. They should orbit around the interfaces.

Rust's restrictions can also be interpreted as restrictions on interfaces. A function taking (a non-`Copy` type) by value is a function that Xr0 would annotate as `free`ing that variable, for example.

> Moreover, we are in no way suggesting/claiming that we can deduce the safety of arbitrary C programs, which is the whole reason the annotations are required.

You are claiming that Xr0 will deduce that a function matches its annotations. If those annotations are "this function has property P", you'll have to deduce whether the function actually has property P. This can be augmented by inline annotations (i.e. annotations for code, not interfaces) and those will likely become necessary once you implement loops. But at that point you'll have reinvented Frama-C and you'll realize why Frama-C isn't used outside of safety-critical software: It's both hard and exhausting to use.
>...the results against MDC instead of true AEAD are in, and it’s a fail...

It's really OCFB-MDC. It's only a authenticated mode when the two things are used together (like GCM). It doesn't provide protection of associated data (the AD part of AEAD) but that isn't something that seems to be potentially useful for the stuff that the OpenPGP standard is used for. I don't know what "true AEAD" means in this context. As a user I only care that the OCFB-MDC mode is actually secure. I am not interested in any philosophical aspects.

The stuff about offline stateless applications only adds to the argument. A version of OCFB-MDC could be used, for say, TLS and would be expected to be secure.

I had a guy out to install my windows this weekend. Man! he was a hard worker. Grunted every time he picked up a window, complained about his back, smashed his finger (REALLY bad... I probably would have gotten stiches) wrapped it up and kept working.

The whole time I thought: "I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go to college and get into this field".

But not once did I think, "I'm so glad my company is so gracious to pay me".

Yes, we are paid well for working in easy conditions, but it is commiserate to the value we provide due to the stuff in our heads. It's not because our companies are generous.

Best Buy used to have a service where you'd pay like $150-200/yr and any tech you bought from Best Buy, Geek Squad would come out and install free of charge. I used it a bunch when I was too lazy to setup stuff myself (cameras, in-ceiling speakers, etc.) and the service was always solid. They did away with that program at the end of last year unfortunately, but that program paid for itself 5-10x over the cost.

It's a personal choice of input mechanism that you can add to the measured number. Also, the activation point is extremely repeatable. You become fully aware of that activation point, so it shouldn't contribute to the percieved latency, since that activation point is where you see yourself as hitting the button. This is the reason I don't use mechanical keyboards; I can't activate the key in a reasonable time.

The definition of inflation is "a general increase in prices"; it doesn't matter why that's happening. Do you think that stores weren't trying to sell products for the highest-possible price previously?

Price-gouging is not what we're seeing here - there's no supply constraint. What we're seeing is just the market price.
> The hypothetical that I'm working with is that the insurer can perfectly price insurance by perfectly estimating the _risk_ or _expected loss_ for each individual customer.

So is mine. But my premise is that the true risk (that is, what uncertainty cannot be eliminated with sufficient information about the current
state physical universe) is small, most of the apparent risk is just insufficient current data or an insufficient model; things like the drone data gathering are an attempt to narrow the first problem, and the second will improve over time with scientific progress.

As those improve, the expected loss converges toward the actual loss (and does so at any given proximity on progressively shorter timelines.)

i actually am working on greenfield wpf currently but ill be first to admit thats an exception.

windows shop still reach for it heavily in "boring" industry in my experience.

there is a difference between performance critical and sloppy of course. most people default to heavy crap cuz its good enough, or a good fit sometimes, i get that

and this is coming from someone who had to use wpf for software where it ended up too slow in all rendering paths despite MS "trust us bro" and had to render using directx directly. not super uncommon but we were paying the price early (.net fw 3, fuzy wpf text, vibrating layouts, the good days)
The Japanese, who actually had it, didn't seem to think it was so great.
The data isn't open because it's not required to be. Every manufacturer is either making a good faith effort to collect that data (to their own standards) or they probably shouldn't be on the road. Regulators, NHTSA especially, don't have the expertise, time, or mandate to get it from them, analyze it, and make it available. That could (and should) change though.

As an unrelated aside, measuring safety performance is hard. Doing it accurately without putting vehicles on the street is probably impossible. Simulation is not a fully adequate replacement for road testing and many companies are already looking at cutting the latter because of the expense. It'd be nice for regulators to outline an acceptable road test framework that better balances the goal of public safety from unsafe vehicles against ensuring safety can be demonstrated in real world environments.

The laws are there for people who may feel like they don’t have much choice in the matter. And yes lying to officials that you did in fact have a choice and are totally doing this of your own free will and yes of course you understand the document you’re signing is a big part of it.

I like the orange color as another path to recover the sub-tree caches where available.

Cache invalidation in arbitrary UI's is hard to get right for most cases.

SwiftUI manages state in a similar way, with automatic hashing and view-specific data-dependent updates. The annotated (@State, @Binding, @Environment, @Observable) data is the slice of interest, with other data expressly ignored. SwiftUI also gives the programmer some control, via explicitly changing the view id to trigger a refresh.

Caching schemes are measured in the context of the kinds of use they get - for views, the runtime update model. The OO general-purpose procedural model of listening for changes proves both too heavyweight and too chaotic in its generality. It's faster to use flattened view-models with these cacheable slices, but these don't handle any real backend cross-component logic or batch updates, so you end up with threading driving UI. Often, logging updates shows a scary amount of duplicate renders.

SwiftUI has already have a couple of direction changes and most developers consider it unfinished. Take that as a rough measure of complexity for the domain before getting too entangled :)

No FOSS desktop is even close to offering this. The windows 'greying out thing' is an entirely separate desktop instance, for example. A lot of security consideration was put into designing it. I don't think any FOSS desktop is working on anything even remotely similar, which is a shame.
How Job Sites Automate Experiencism
"sonder" is a German word stem with the meaning of special, set apart, different.

One form is "besonders" which can be translated as particular, peculiar, unique.

In English maybe well known is "Sonderkommando" which can be translated as special troop.
> "Users rated Asian men and Black women as less attractive than their counterparts..."

Attraction isn't a choice or a preference. No one can control who they're attracted to. Dating sites "automating racism" = showing you people that you're likely to be attracted to. Nothing is wrong with that.
Going back to the App Store Minimum Payment Threshold Table[1], it shows how highly effective Apple became at dealing with money transfers in a large part of the world.

Isn't the article more about algorithmic sorting that you don't have any control over, vs e.g. filters? Or another way of looking at it, the service filtering you rather than you filtering the service.

It doesn't seem like you are talking about the same thing as the author, but I didn't read it that closely so may have missed something.

There is at least something potentially interesting there, if an algorithmic sorting approach is responsive to a social bias, there are obvious mechanisms by which it could end up amplifying that bias, rather than just representing it.
It’s true that readability is culture-specific, that if the culture were different and people learned different things then different languages would be more readable. But I still think there are differences between languages in the sense of how much you can understand without knowing the definition of every term.

For example, if you’re looking at Lisp code and you don’t know whether an outer term is a function, macro, or special form, you really don’t understand anything inside it except at the most superficial level. It might as well be JSON. Macros aren’t marked, so any unknown term might be a macro. (Knowing the surface syntax is still helpful, though. Well-known syntaxes for data are useful.)

With Forth it’s pretty bad, too. Not knowing what a single word does means that you don’t know what’s on the stack afterwards.

A Unix pipeline is a bit more orderly since you know that there are streams of bytes. You know the command names and the arguments to each command. But if you don’t know what a command does, you don’t know much at all about what the data looks like after that point.

I find currying and point-free programming to be pretty opaque because I can’t tell where the function calls are or how many arguments each function takes from usage. I don’t know what the dataflow looks like. It seems like you need to know some precedence rules too?

Languages with conventional function call syntax, augmented with named parameters, seem better. I can tell where the function calls are and where the inline functions are. Augmented with reasonable names for temporaries, I can make reasonable guesses about what the code does.

These syntax concerns seem independent of whether it’s a functional or imperative language? Making reasonable guesses is what we do when we read pseudocode. Maybe what I’m saying is that some syntaxes seem better for pseudocode than others, and I like languages that look like pseudocode better.

I suspect that these syntax differences also have an effect on how good the error messages are when you screw up.
