Can you elaborate on what you mean by "everything that comes across the screen?" Does this include the outputs from your commands? If so, what do you use to do this?

Apologies, I was confused by the reference to 32bit integer overflows for file sizes over 32gb.
Ouf, I'm not aware of it! Would love your feedback in a DM, perhaps Linkedin? https://www.linkedin.com/in/guifromrio/
Thanks for the input anyway!
One of my older jobs relied on ancient hardware, and the life of the company was measured by parts in the warehouse and vendors who still cared. From their perspective they'd have a modern system as long as your company delivers.

> hey haven't shown any interest in updating the system.

So expensive to update that there's a calculated end-of-life to the system. They'd love to know about your engineer situation. That'd trigger plans put in place a while ago.

Your company could do a last big batch for the city and send the old guy out with a nice bonus.
Not that I'm aware of, but the underlying point here is you shouldn't be creating custom controls to begin with, if you can at all help it. Not only do you miss our on stuff like this that's currently handled, but you miss out on future improvements you couldn't possibly know about beforehand.
Also, a beautiful, polished UI is "table stakes" for Apple users. They'll walk away if the application does not look and feel polished. Windows, Linux, Android, and so on users aren't as picky and tolerate less finished/consistent designs.
Absurd errors in this article. Starting with:

"it was from an era that computers didn't have a hard drive"

Absolute BS. Pretty much every computer had a hard drive in 1998, and most had CD-ROM.

Then they referred to the 3.5" disk as a "5-inch floppy."

<sigh>
Recently I keep thinking of things like this because of the ongoing enshittification of Spotify.
Just came across this when doing some research about yesterdays news "Switzerland faces landmark climate-human rights ruling" (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39977756).

Ironically, since the referenced court case is essentially driven and funded by Greenpeace, I read that even the co-founder of Greenpeace publicly states that there is no climate emergency. See e.g https://docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/GO00/20220208/114392/HHRG... (he also wrote a book called "Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom" in 2021).

Here a brief description of the movie:

"This movie debunks climate alarmism as a made-up scare with no scientific basis. It shows that mainstream studies and official data do not support the claim that we are experiencing an increase in extreme weather events - hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and everything else. It strongly contradicts the claim that current temperatures and CO₂ levels in the atmosphere are unusually and worryingly high. On the contrary: compared to the last half billion years of the Earth's history, both current temperatures and CO₂ levels are extremely and unusually low. We are currently in an ice age. It also shows that there is no evidence that changing CO₂ levels (they have changed many times) have ever "driven" climate change in the past."

...
"The film includes interviews with a number of very prominent scientists, including Professor Steven Koonin (author of "Unsettled", former Rector and Vice President of Caltech), Professor Dick Lindzen (former Professor of Meteorology at Harvard and MIT) and Professor Will Happer (Professor of Physics at Princeton), Dr. John Clauser (winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics), Professor Nir Shaviv (Racah Institute of Physics), Professor Ross McKitrick (University of Guelph), Dr Willie Soon and several others."
IME many security people are already on call. What you’re describing is one of the roles of Security Operations Centers, unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re suggesting (which I think might be the case!)

You can’t rely on that as a fix though, because it’s inherently reactive, when what you really want is proactive protections. By the time you get paged about a breach, it’s already too late.

Unfortunately not. I don't remember off the top of my head what it was which broke and led us to restrict the app to chromium based browsers. When we grow to be a bigger team we definitely plan to revisit this.
The tool uses scientific methods to monitor dietary intakes. It utilises unbiased, moderated food databases such as Open Food Facts and Food Data Central. I extract ingredients using AI and map them to FDC database foundational foods. Gives users a lot of control over which ingredients where used and in their sizes. Practically it is like recipe ingredients parsing from a text but with editing tooling.
Sex Tips for Geeks (2001)
If you want to build a product with a build system, you need to tell it what source to include. With this information, you know what files to consider and if you are dealing with a statically typed language like C or C++, you have build artifacts that can tell you where the implementation was defined. All of this, takes the guess work out of answering questions like "What foo() implentation was used".

If all you know are repo branches, the best you can do is return matches from different repo branches with the hopes that one of them is right.

Edit: I should also add that with a build system, you know what version of a file to use.
The “usual escaping mechanism” may also refer to CommandLineToArgvW, a Windows API function that implements this. I think it is a pretty common way to implement the parsing side, though I’m not sure if the Visual C runtime does something different.

> Sourcegraph’s maintained fork of Zoekt is pretty cool, but is pretty fearfully niche and would be a big, new infrastructure commitment.

I don't think Zoekt is as scary as this article makes it out to be. I set this up at my current company after getting experience with it at Shopify and its really great.
Then you should optimize for learning, not for "quick deploy and forget" which is precisely the pattern of "cogs".
Navy Wants a Cheap Heavy Torpedo That Can Be Stockpiled Fast
How could a company called Meta be so shortsighted?
Hi n3storm! It means we account for how many pageviews your website is serving each month and we charge a variable amount based on that. That way you only pay for what you use. In the * asterisk, we end up defining a pageview as having a maximum of 10 requests, and you pay proportionally over that. In our experience, considering our SSR-first architecture and the fact that assets are immutably cached at the border, we've found most sites use less than 10 reqs per pageview.
It's hopefully an opportunity to embarrass him if he backs out.

Personally, I see it as a larger problem for the US that the Democrats are no longer anywhere near left enough or dialog oriented enough to maintain the facade of a superpower with European values and special relationships, and I don't think a fake moment of reflection will change that.

Europe would be moving toward seeing itself as bullied by 3 superpowers with less distinction either way but at an accelerated pace if it doesn't even see the Democrats as a relatable government in exile when the US is particularly unhinged.
It's difficult to imagine that it wasn't recorded well before it even reached the vault. Firms like Garda inventory cash in excruciating detail as a matter of standard procedure, since otherwise it would rapidly disappear into employee pockets.
Centralized data warehouse. Convenient tools for querying, running arbitrary jobs against, and building reports from that warehouse. Table and column level ACLs. Strong norms and policies against copying/transferring out of the warehouse for any reason except transient UI display. Sufficient capabilities within the warehouse that it's not necessary.
I don't think spinning up an AWS instance to do that would be the first Google result though.
Actually that's the most sane way for countries sorted by alphabet. Since I live in Canada I always expect CCC...until I hit one.
Yes it can.

Sawstop, like a lot of other companies, abuse the patent process by filing multiple continuations with the exact same specification. They then let the patent office take its time granting some of them, and claim a 'patent term extension' due to the patent office delays.

So if they filed in 2001, but one of their patents wasn't granted for over 14 years due to the patent office taking 10 years in total to respond to the many arguments over patentability, it may expire in 2031. This seems absurd, but is totally legal. Being run by a patent attorney means they (a) are ninja level at drawing these arguments out and constantly filing appeals to continue examination after a denial by a patent examiner and (b) it doesn't cost them much to do so.

I'm simplifying and my numbers aren't exact, but this abuse is the problem.

So I really hope you listen to us, the subscribers, and try to keep focus on improving the products that you have already launched and that we are paying for, before getting distracted on other projects.

Honestly the basic features that are still missing from Calendar are becoming a bit embarrassing. It's also embarrassing for me with my business clients when my calendar system is the only one that doesn't seem to function like a normal calendar does - and they see that too.

You've done an amazing job with product development so far - especially Email - but please don't squander that. Some of your products really really need basic missing features and bugs sorted - and quickly, because you've already sold them to customers. I get the sense that your customers are unusually loyal (which is to your credit) but goodwill won't last forever.

Interesting! A couple of years ago, I attempted to begin "learning to draw well" (technique focus). I did the first couple of lessons on the Watts Atelier online course and attended several life drawing sittings. It didn't stick, though! Do you have any recommendations for the initial phases of "learning to draw well"? I think I focused too much on rigor, too soon, and didn't give myself enough chances to sink my teeth into it with initial easy wins.

Switzerland didn't allow all women to vote until 1990, and didn't allow any women to vote until 1971.

You might say, will they did eventually and recently fix that, but what systemic inequalities allowed that to last so long?

For what it's worth, I do think direct democracy is good, but I don't think direct democracy always solves the most urgent problems or ensures that nonmajority people can survive.

Let me be extra clear, Swiss voting system sounds pretty good. But it's not flawless. It can even be the best system in widespread use and not be flawless. The will of the majority can be wrong, and it needs to be acceptable to challenge it.

Here in the USA the will of the majority was to segregate schools and prevent Black kids from attending them. That's what the majority wanted. It was wrong, and the minority using the courts to overturn the will of the majority is correct. Waiting to convince a new generation to integrate would do irreparable harm.

Challenges to the majority viewpoint are crucial and healthy and normal in a democracy. Whether that majority is conservative or progressive, we need to test the results regularly.

What HQ Trivia Learned–Or Didn't Learn–From Vine (2020)
I went as far as building code in PRs and reusing those blobs when the code gets merged in into main. I find it super weird that in many projects the code gets rebuild and packaged on merge to main, and when released, all while a lot of underlying processes aren't locked.

Oh, there is no guarantee about the spacing of these points. They won't be equidistant from each other, the points may cluster towards one end of the curve or another. With an infinite number of points you'll get the correct curve, but experiment with it to determine how finite you're willing to go.

I was also able to do this in OpenScad. The technique is the same. I was 3d printing a router template for rounding off corners of tables that used splines like this so it wasn't as obvious where the corners started and ended. I think ~40 points was accurate enough for me, but I was hitting the corner with sandpaper afterwards.

I quit my swe job to start a startup, regretting it now
If you're an SWE thinking about quitting your job to build your startup, do not do it in this economy. I used to read posts like this and scoff at them, especially since I had already founded and sold a semi-successful startup. VCs are super selective towards anything non AI at the moment which results in very lowball offers, b2b isn't viable as it used to be because businesses don't have that kind of money anymore, many of which are even laying off their employees.

Anyways, I am back in the job market (due to some issues at home which have increased my financial needs). So if any of you are hiring. that'd be great

I have also founded and sold a venture in the past, did well at competitive programming and have also been selected for entrepreneur first's grad cohort. i have also been to the finals of prestigious international competitions. I quit my job thinking worst case scenario, I would just freelance till something works out, but alas, that market is flooded with laid-off swe's which are driving the prices to the bottom.

NAND flash is... weird. The old generation of SLC and MLC flash actually had more than the binary size, with the extra being used for error correction and wear leveling information. Newer MLC has larger "spare area", but is sufficiently unreliable that SSDs tend to round down the binary size to a decimal number and use the difference for replacing bad blocks as they wear out and fail.

TLC flash has a capacity that's actually a multiple of 3 times a power of 2, with an additional spare area. I believe a "128GB" TLC SSD might have somewhere around 150GB of writable bits.

Nah, boxing is huge outside of the US. The lack of interest is due to the lack of good American boxers. After Mayweather retired there haven't been much.
Yea, I think a lot of us old timers do notice these "little things" and it's infuriating when they are missing from the Shiny New Web Version of our desktop apps.

And, like others said, the existence of these niceties does not detract from the experience for non-power users. It's simply a bonus for more experienced users, and these bonuses are slowly going away as more and more developers choose the "give up once the thing kind of works" strategy.

The only snark here is yours. What are you talking about with "computers in someone's basement?"

He pointed out glaring factual errors in the story, which should not have made it through any kind of editorial review. For example: 25 years ago pretty much every computer had a hard drive. And the disk depicted in the article is obviously a 3.5", not a "five-inch floppy."
Dehumidifiers are pretty affordable and warms up your room a little. Still doesn’t solve the fact you need to ventilate your home. If you can - isolate your drying to a non living space.
I've tried WorkoutDoors. I used to use it exclusively back when the stock watchOS app kinda sucked (three second countdown before starting, seriously, Apple?) It's a fine app (except that it doesn't handle the Always On Display gracefully because it's written in Obj-C), but doesn't fill the role that this app is trying to fill.

And frankly, since Apple spruced up the built-in app in watchOS 9, I find the stock app to be just fine for my purposes, and I no longer use WoD. (And that includes interval work, tempo, and ultramarathon-distance races.) If I need mapping, I use Footpath, which does a much better job on the mapping front that WoD does.

I don't really have a problem with amateur MMA, etc. But paying people for violence as a sport isn't just acknowledging it; it's encouraging it. And it's encouraging athletes to push themselves into injury, some of which is life destroying.
this is quite the difference I saw among different ML Engineers during my work.. most can only do python (more or less like a frameworker) and some amazing ones can go all the way down to the CUDA to squeeze out the performance.
Fuzzing finds logic errors though. This appears to be a compiler error.
I'm not sure how CT for DNSSEC would happen. If we had a spec and implementations then we could get market pressure applied. Mozilla and Chrome might have security indicators on their browser that incentivize the use of TLDs that provide better security. And again, I think DNSSEC already has things that WebPKI doesn't have that give it some advantages in terms of security. CT is not a panacea either, since it requires that people pay attention to what CAs issue certificates for.
I think that the bulk of medical care goes to chronic diseases that have, in my case, been treated more effectively by a better diet. My diabetes, etc. got worse while I was taking medication, and better when I stopped the meds and switched to a better diet.
Back in 1991 I was at Sun and tasked with implementing type-to-complete for file dialogs in OpenWindows. Coming from a Mac background, I naturally implemented... type to complete. But the OpenWindows Spec declared it should be "first letter, keep typing first letter".

That method requires you to very explicitly look at what is selected each time you press 'B', as opposed to just typing 'bagend' or 'bilbo'. Maybe it makes sense if you can't type? In any case, I added a secret preference to do it the right way, and then quit.

Imagine if the web browser incremental search worked that way...
