Standard Deviation Not Enough for Perverted Statistician
NAND is popular probably because of nand2tetris, but it's worth mentioning that NOR is also a universal gate; and many early computers like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer#Logic... were entirely made of NOR gates.
BSPDN is not about putting devices on the front and back, the logic layer is still mostly 2D, it's about the power connects moving to the back of the chip so there's less interference with logic and larger wiring can be used.
How does it work, because there is no way to inject anything to HTTPS connections?
True! I went a little far in the name of 'eli5'. I think it roughly holds that you gain about a factor of 1.5 in routing density by removing the power distribution, so you can relax some critical patterning. But I havent looked closely in a long time.
Your first question makes no sense. Gave up after that.

It is a “this or that” question but your answers are not “this or that” answers.

Are you someone who follows a set schedule, or do you prefer flexibility and unexpected events?

You can learn the difference by looking at what happened when Musk bought Twitter. Tons of people moved to other services like Threads, BlueSky, or Mastodon because all it takes is typing a different name into your browser.

When Comcast decided to double-charge Netflix, in contrast, what happened? Most people just had to put up with it because they only had one option for broadband or a contract. There’s no fast way to run new fiber or cable, so if your options are two companies with a history of network neutrality violations the best you can do is switch plans to whoever is currently not misusing their position.
Energy in space is nearly free, due to solar. The rocket equation makes reaction mass incredibly expensive.

If you get rid of the reaction mass requirement, accelerating a superheavy object to a horrendous velocity takes time instead of a steady stream of resources.

Here's more from someone with way more citations than me: https://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/reactionlessdr...
Google does it regularly as they pay out so much RSUs they want to keep the same number of shares on the market. You can look and see them historically doing this

You're right about D, but Rust is drawing some people away from C and C++. Something may emerge that will do the same on the JS front-end. In fact, I'd say that the TypeScript/React combo is more susceptible to being replaced than C and C++ are. There are many large C/C++ codebases that represent many man-years of work and won't be rewritten or thrown away any time soon. JS front-ends don't have that kind of longevity. Think about how many web startups just fizzle out, and their code just goes away.
"Special Olympics T-Ball Stand Pitches Perfect Game" is the greatest headline ever written
IMO this is why communities should do everything they can to build their own infrastructure independent of these massive institutions that can't possibly represent their needs - some being comcast, others being the USA federal government.

I find the concept of "the People's internet" fascinating https://urbanomnibus.net/2019/10/building-the-peoples-intern... not to mention distributed networks like this are more rugged in the face of disaster.
The Onion is still hilarious.
Would be great if mobile HN clients handled such HN links so on a click it opened article instead of a browser ... Just saying
Why does your office only have fibre at 200Mbps down? Last office I was involved in setting up, we didn’t need symmetrical gigabit but the cost was fairly inconsequential compared to lower speeds, so we just went with the gigabit… Really strange that service providers even bother running fibre at lower speeds for commercial accounts…
Well, sure. Technical people even today are able to run ad blockers and pi-holes and use DDG or Kagi or what have you. But what will non-technical people do? They will have to buy a device with a hardware accelerator, and ad people are going to get into that game just like they are with smart TVs today.
I think context has to be taken into account

And the Tor onion link: https://old.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqn...

The problem is that Reddit has started sometimes generating these links with /s/ in them, which are supported by new Reddit (www.reddit) but not by old Reddit (old.reddit). Given Reddit’s track record, I am certain this is the latest in a series of intentional moves to gradually tighten the thumbscrews to make old Reddit less useful, so enough users will switch to new Reddit to justify closing old Reddit down.
Back in the day, they supported byte code execution - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazelle
I think the lesson here is obvious. Who among us hasn't been terrorized by PhysEd teachers, forced to run laps or climb thing or something against our will? Athletic directors must be even worse. Ban athletic directors!

Most of these are basically impossible to cut without CNC. Once you’ve embraced CNC as your joint method, why wood is the next question.

If you want to learn wood joints, learn mortise and tenon, dovetails, dowels or floating tenons, and nailed/screwed joints. Some extra love for biscuit miter joints but really that is all the main ones people use.
I paid them a dollar just to see what happens.
Arbitrary precision integers aren't necessarily that expensive to implement. It does require overflow checking for operations on regular fixed integers, and keeping track of type, but if you're doing that anyway (many languages are) then it's almost free; the bignum code only runs when it doesn't fit in a fixed integer. Common Lisp, Python, Haskell use big integers for all integers, too. And others, I'm sure. It can be optimized away by a compiler to just fixed integers, sometimes.
So do Android and iOS. They're still the primary indicators of the strength of the smartphone market. You probably can't imagine a world without advertisements or smartphones, but that's the point from the post you're responding to that you're missing. If the advertising industry looks healthy, it helps everyone by keeping investors satisfied and share prices up, even if it's a ruse. It is possible for smartphones and the concept of advertising to cease existing some day. There's a spectrum between the current reality and absolute zero, and staying as far away from zero is the goal, even once we enter an inescapable decline.
The onion got really unfunny because they got too moralizing on their pet issues. Hopefully they can fix that.

Is there any actual security concern here? As far as I can tell, docker compose v1 has no outstanding CVEs, and has, in fact, never had any CVEs or needed/received any security updates.

I've always had a sort of knee jerk reaction against distributed systems that enforce global consistency at the protocol level. Wherever there's a conch to have or not have, also there will be the haves and the have nots.

Better, says my gut, to let either sides of a contradiction compete for legitimacy in the eyes of whatever local audiences are relevant.

Assuming consensus from the get go just doesn't seem to square with how large groups of people actually work.

So I hope that these alternatives work out for them because I'd like to have more examples to point at when I try to express this.
I'm particularly fond of this pattern when you can implement the high level API that you want outside the library, which ensures that your low level API is sufficiently flexible and means you're dogfooding your own stuff as a user. It's far too easy to get used to the internal side of a tool you're building, and forget how people actually use it.
The world's been hating my music tastes and telling me to turn stuff off since the 1980s. And then, ten years later they love it, and 10 years after that my ex-is bragging how she used to listen to it decades ago.

And definitely don't like things based on the real world, the real world is shit.
With the amount of mindshare, infrastructure and over 90% of the search engine market share that Google has, it will take decades to even begin to challenge Google's market share in search.

We've seen this with Neeva which is now no more. Perplexity appears to be no different and only appeals to techies and at the same time is already dependent on Google search for their results, according to The Information.

In fact I can only see them getting shut down like Neeva or the case of Perplexity likely to be acquired. Amazon looks more of a potential acquirer for Perplexity AI.
In a typical department store the employee would escort you to the register to pay immediately or hold it there until you're ready. There is usually a register in the department.

If they do just hand over the merchandise there's a decent chance that loss prevention personnel are watching you all the way to checkout.
You're clearly not alone in this, but I never realised they even did videos, fwiw. Similar era I was enjoying great content on the site, and it just sort of faded but didn't disappear, from my perspective, so I don't know to what extent it's purely about rise and fall of video really.

(I did just watch the very good MacBook Wheel one though.)

Better question for you. Why did ISPs attempt to fake support for repealing Net Neutrality [0][1], as well as spend money lobbying Congress? You'll note in that article that there were also fake comments in support of Net Neutrality, apparently mostly generated by one individual, but many, many fake comments against it from ISPs that even used real people's identities [2].

These aren't the actions a company takes if they don't have incentive.

The funnest fun fact about The Onion is that it was started by the guy that did Jim’s Journal comic strip, back in the mid 90s.
Oh wow, this resonates so badly with me. This guy must be my Malay / Aussie doppelganger. My company has the same bullshit, but we have terrible coffee instead of terrible tea. I used to buy my own on the way to the office, but now I've become so cynical I just don't care anymore.

When I joined just after COVID we were working from the office 5 days a week. I'd been working remotely for nearly a decade so thought it would be a welcome change, but oh man, I completely forgot about all the office BS you need to deal with. Eventually they realised that policy made hiring people hard, as now everyone expects to WFH, so they now allow is to work from home 1 day a week. Over Christmas and New Year they were so grateful for all our hard work, that they allowed us to work from home for 2 days a week. That was literally all we got for Christmas.

For the past few months I've been looking for a more chilled out job. I have a family now, and have gone past the point of seeing any purpose or fulfilment in my work. I just want to clock in, do my 8 hours, then leave at the end of the day and switch to family mode. The biggest issue for me has been recruiters ghosting me. I have an interview that goes well then at the end I hear "I'll be in touch by the end of play tomorrow" and don't hear anything back. Or recruiters message me on LinkedIn, I reply saying "yes I'm willing to torture myself with your interview process. Can you call me tomorrow afternoon?" and then I don't hear anything back.

Like OP most of the jobs I've had are through my network, or from recruiters reaching out to me during times when anyone with a heartbeat could get a senior React position. Sometimes I wonder, am I just a bad engineer? Am I just terrible at selling myself?

The best job I ever had was also with a team that had funny shaped keyboards - it's how I learned Vim. We would stay after work to play video games, and go out for drinks as a team once or twice a week. We worked hard, but it didn't feel like work. I'd love to find that again, but nothing has even come close. I don't know if it's just that I was young or naive and "the grass is always greener" when looking back, or that I have now been infected with the cyninism that capitalism breeds.

(And for anyone wondering, I - and I assume OP is the same - do not talk like this to others, and especially not in an interview. My cynicism stays in my head)
Because I don't mind people using my software commercially if they are respecting the license. I wouldn't want to be charged for all my commercial usage of Linux, Git, Postgres, zsh, the rust toolchain, etc.

I believe if everyone in our industry tried to capture all/most of of the economic value of their work, we'd all be poorer for it, metaphorically and literally since a huge part of high SDE salaries is due to high productivity enabled by the open source ecosystem. We are all freeloaders, to varying degrees. Without FL/OSS, most of these source-available companies would never have gotten off the ground.

>there is mass censorship of opinions and views that deviate from a window determined by employees of companies that operate these big technology platforms.

More like deviate from reality. So tired of this feigned innocence and victimhood. "What did we do to deserve this? We just have different opinions."

You mean like QAnon, Bill Gates is trying to kill us all with COVID vaccines and 5G, and Trump won?

You can't have one side polluting the infospace with rank disinformation, propaganda and lies and expect a healthy society to come of it.

So, what you call "censorship", others would call "platforms being responsible".

You want to consume hysterical conspiracy theories? Cool. Go to InfoWars, et. al. But, you can't force every platform to host it and foist nonsense on society en masse. That would be the actual violation of rights.
It's not about money - how valuable the company is depends on how many people use it intersect how useful it is.

One of the coolest things I ever saw in my career was a whole data processing pipeline built around jira. Incredibly interesting & surprisingly sensible way of running data processing pipelines. Very observable & clear to everyone what was happening.

Data would go stage by stage by stage. Cancel & retry options everywhere. Gates for human intervention/approval. Incredibly clear foundation for a data warehousing company. So glad I saw that. Typically data systems are there own thing, but using a more general tracking system like jira powerfully de-specialed what was happening & made great re-use of more human-first progress pipeline software.

I can definitely imagine HR software built from jira or something like.
This defeats the reason for offering referral bonuses. Companies offer those bonuses so employees will refer people they know and can vouch for. If the company just wants to pay to get more candidates they can use recruiters.

Referrals have value when an employer brings in a candidate they know and have previously worked with. They have much less value when they give employees an incentive to spend time working as recruiters. I never refer anyone I haven’t worked with before and I think that’s the usual expectation.

Also, dividends are taxed as ordinary income whereas stock buybacks lead to capital gains, which almost always have a lower tax rate.
I would ignore anyone who used the phrase "class-traitor".

I had to look up what "effective" means in this context, found a couple crypto blogs using it as a talking point citing a 2011 UN study, the study says less than <1% of money laundering proceeds are confiscated worldwide, nothing about the laws. Money laundering is defined as an estimate of any money from illegal activity, including tax evasion.
Among other reasons, because the DOJ accidentally leaked their internal communication about the case to the defense which turned out to be fairly exculpatory: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6345276-Backpage-DOJ... https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6345275-Backpage-DOJ...

The defendants are precluded from using or mentioning any of this information even though it shows that the case is being wrongfully prosecuted because it is the state's attorney client privileged material which was released by mistake.

This is not all that unusual (sadly). I've been at demonstrations with fewer than 30 people (doing nothing other than having signs and encouraging passing drivers to honk their horns) where police saw fit to do overwatch anyway. I suspect it grants a pay bump for the hours involved.
What's even the google hate? the company is great and provides value. Why go into the rabbit hole of worse products?
I have some thoughts on this code:

1. Why is decide_position returning a boolean? The function signature, even without types, doesn't really indicate that it should return a true / false value. Perhaps a better name would be "is_position_good"?

2. Why would the memory get corrupted? Most operating systems should be able to handle such a case.

3. Why do we shut down the entire application? Surely there's a better method rather than killing the entire application due to a single boolean check.

I think this is good news, because G/O Media websites are the worst.

I was at UW-Madison when The Onion started. We had a wealth of student newspapers at the time, along with The Daily Cardinal and The Badger Herald. Scott Dikkers and Todd Hanson, writers for The Onion, also wrote great comic strips for the Cardinal (Jim's Journal and Badgers and Other Animals, respectively).

Some favorite Onion headlines that I remember:

Incidentally, Jeremy Scahill of The Intercept was also writing for the student newspapers way back in the day, though he was obviously doing political stuff and not comedy.

They are complicated in different ways.

With htmx, you plan and prepare partial page updates yourself and htmx swaps them in for you.

With React, you get to maintain the entire npm toolchain that your app depends on, including fun things like 'React 19 will no longer patch the fetch() function, so you have to handle double-fetch manually'.

A side effect is avoiding dilution from RSU grants.

Poster is correct: that is not the reason for them.

We can confirm this. Compare RSUs granted/year -- $150M -- to buybacks this quarter -- $70B. ~700x as much.

I think so, as an early AdWords small advertiser, in the first cycle most of the inbound sales were explained by SEO and Ads, then SEO continued to be more important than Ads but Ads declined, then SEO was an impossible game and we run Ads just because we assigned a budget for Ads, then I hired three different agencies for optimizing AdWords campaigns for a niche market and nothing happened... so I started thinking AdWords is a kind of scam for small companies.
I have several decades of experience as a software engineer and have worked at several different companies that hired management consultants to rubber stamp decisions they had clearly already made. In each case, the company proceeded to deflect blame to the consultants internally, when employees got mad about the decisions. I have heard similar stories from friends and colleagues. So at least your skepticism about internal blame is unfounded.

I urge you to consider the ethics of your current employer and consider seeking employment with a different company.
