A large part of this is there are several companies that are effectively the modernized scalpers using very high dollar pay-per click advertising, and incredibly complex optimization methods to charge the maximum markup they can. Most of them use each other as well, in cooperation via affiliate kickbacks more than competition.

Then, add in ticket brokers, with pre-reserved sets and blocks of tickets, feeding into that, and everyone is getting a cut. Not a small cut either. I do have evidence, as I worked for two of the companies for a while.
Probably just gov nonsense someone decided to slip in there because it seemed like a good idea at the time/the person in charge of making technical decisions was out of their depth, as often is the case in the government web space.
Is that how you see people that know several natural languages? You think they're intellectually fractured?
You won't know what past employers say about you. If you can show a past employer badmouthed you or hindered you getting hired you probably have a legal cause of action in the US.

Past employers generally only confirm dates of employment, title, vague job responsibilities. Calling a company to check prior employment will go to HR. The most telling question: Would you hire Joe Bloggs again? Beyond that past employers rarely say anything for fear of lawsuits. A former "toxic boss" may cost you a job prospect but by doing so they have put a pot of gold on the table for you and your lawyers.

Only an idiot lists references when they aren't sure what the reference will say if contacted. Of course recruiters and employers know that, so they only give so much weight to what former colleagues or professors have to say.

Professional certifications may have some value, as long as everyone knows they are fair and objective and measure actual abilities. So many useless certificates exist, and even the good ones get gamed, that I doubt they carry much weight.
This is a unique idea but still feels like sound is a whole lot simpler.

Thanks. I knew about the Old Testament reference, but not the Diogenes one. New Testament references to extra-scriptural texts are fascinating, and (in my experience, at least) mostly ignored in exegeses by biblical scholars within religious traditions.
According to this comment from 2023, most laptops are made by Taiwanese companies: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36651016

I don’t know for sure, but if I read that comment correctly, those six companies are turnkey suppliers for the large computer brands.

I think at least the last bit is incorrect: DRM protected video is still often decoded by a hardware decoder built into GPU.

I am also in doubt about the claim that there's never a single VRAM texture that contains the entire desktop, because while I see potential ways for GPU during sending frame to the monitor to assemble said frame on the fly, it sounds implausible vs just reading it from a premade buffer.

Engineers and scientists that can’t write an essay are going to have a hard time writing persuasive presentations, proposals, and other materials. They’re also going to have a hard time participating effectively in democracy if they can’t comprehend and analyze what they read.

Similarly, political science majors won’t be able to effectively analyze politics and government if they’re unable to do even the basic math required to understand things like progressive taxation. They won’t be about to effectively participate in democracy, either.
I remember the good old days when I would spend so much time choosing the right wallpapers for my PC and phone. Nowadays, the wallpaper is completely hidden from me because I am constantly switching between apps on macOS thanks to my Raycast custom keyboard shortcuts and I never see whatever picture I set...

It's a weird feeling. Kinda like letting go of the desktop-oriented computer in favor of window-manager-oriented. There's beauty in the former, and simplicity and elegance in the latter.
> Ransomware is a profit-driven enterprise. If it is made unprofitable, most attacks will quickly stop.

This is conjecture presented as fact.

Here is an alternative conjecture: what if ransomware is mainly a sociopathically-driven enterprise, with a side interest in profit? Or what if a good chunk of it is?

How many ransomware perpetrators have we captured, and subjected to psychological study, to be able to confidently say what ransomware is or is not?

Interesting comment about AI training data... surely that would violate GDPR.
I've got 2 anecdotes to counter yours.

I knew a guy who served in the Iraqi military after the fall of Saddam. He did not serve under Saddam, he was not pro Saddam. He told me that under Saddam, you could walk down the street at 1AM with ten thousand dollars cash in your hand waving it in the air and nobody would try to take it from you. Religiously motivated attacks simply did not happen. The flip side of that, if you got involved in politics or messed with his business, you disappeared.

Another friend of mine, a Zulu man from south Africa, told me he missed apartheid. I was awestruck when he told me this. He said he couldn't go into certain parts of cities without a work permit and couldn't own certain land in certain regions, he had limited freedom, but that the streets were clean and there was much less corruption and crime.

(Note: This isn't a one off either, there's actually currently an anti corruption ovement that is mostly black in ZA with elements of pro apartheid sentiment, it's truly bizarre.)

These were both very much outgroup people, probably happy with the change in the status quo, only to with hindsight feel like they lost something. I'm with you, I'm opposed to autocracy, authoritarianism, and I'd rather live in a messy society where everyone is free, but often there are tangible benefits in systems like this. Dictators and authoritarians know this, they know that when times are tough people want security, and they use it to great effect, and it works.
I do recall the Fisher-Price complaints. As I recall it mostly came from the Linux (or Linux-inclined) crowd. I never really understood the complaints, though it was common enough that I must have just been missing something. But really, I don't get whats wrong with a functional UI that's also friendly and inviting.
> I don't remember ever installing bc, but I use it frequently and it's always there. Are you sure it's not already part of most base systems?

In my bash scripts, using `bc` makes my script not work on git-bash under Windows. Almost everything else I do in a script that isn't linux-specific (including netcat/nc usage) runs in git-bash for Windows.

Read the title or any of the article: banning payments. In other words, if you’re a victim of ransomware you’re not allowed to pay off the attackers.
Good. as someone who works in cybersecurity, I think hackers should get $0 from the victim, possibly get caught by police, and I think companies that get hacked should have to sit with their actions and DO BETTER for their customers.

At the time I wrote the dupe comment, the Nvidia link was already on the front page in an active discussion.

That said, most quarterly reports are submitted as “$brand Q{n} (year)”. And then if there is a surprising arm of a company generating a lot of revenue, that will be reposted by itself.

In Nvidia’s case - AI (GPUs) is not really that surprising.

If you think individual emotions and impulses don't get moderated to conform to societal norms in any of those places, you need to travel more. People expressing their emotions differently than what an American thinks of as the norm doesn't mean those people don't moderate their behavior. India, to use just one of your examples, has fairly rigid family and caste structures and social expectations that almost everyone has to conform to.

You may say you don't care, but we all have to get along with other people by moderating our behavior to some degree. The alternative is ostracism, the classic punishment, or choosing to live in a cabin the woods and going slowly mad from loneliness.
It's funny to me to read now about employees of OpenAI being coerced or tricked or whatever. Didn't they threaten to resign en masse a few months ago, in total unquestioned support of Sam Altman? They pretty much walked into it, in my opinion.

That's not saying anything OpenAI or Altman do is excusable, no way. I just feel like there's almost no good guys in this story.

There are, for iTerm2 for example: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-1701...

It's entirely reasonable for WASM to use its own IDL. Afaik Chrome already uses an IDL to describe the interaction between native C++ classes and their Javascript bindings.

> In other words, C structs and C++ structs are not the same thing (although C++ can usually handle C structs too). C structs are Plain Old Data. C++ structs are "objects" and there are pages and pages of rules in the C++ Standard about what that means, and there's no way the C Standard can incorporate all that.

I think this glances over what structs actually are in C++, and unwittingly portrays them as something different.

Structs in C++ are definitely exact like structs in C. Or they can be, if that's what you're aiming for. If you include a C header file that defines a struct in a C++ program, you build it, and you use instances of that struct to pass them to C programs, everthing just works.

The detail you need to be mindful of is that C structs support a subset of all the features supported by C++ classes, and once you start to use those features C++ also allows implementations to forego some constraints.

If you expect to use a struct in C++ but still define it in a way that you make it include features that are not supported in C then you can't pin that on the language.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/trivial-standard-l...

Using C-like structs is a very common use case, to the point that the standard explicitly defines the concept of standard layout and builds upon that to specify the concept of a standard layout type. A struct/class that is a standard layout type, which means it's a POD type, corresponds exactly with C structs. They are explicitly defined in terms of retaining interoperability with other languages.

What amazes me about spiders is their complex unlearned behavior. No trapdoor spider learns how to build a trap. No orb weaver learns how to spin a web. Trap/web building behavior is entirely programmed in their DNA.

I think about this a lot in the context of conversations about intelligence. If spiders can have complex behaviors hard-coded, humans certainly do too. (In other words, the Tabula Rasa theory is wrong.) The ability to learn language and emotion are certainly two examples. We are pretty good at certain things (learning language, picking up social cues) and relatively bad at others (calculating an 18% tip).

So if you’re going to measure “intelligence” the first thing you’ll need to do is choose what to measure. What questions do you ask? You might be inclined to pick things we humans think are important. But then that’s not an objective universal measurement, at best it’s yardstick for human cognitive abilities.

I'm actually quoting Prof Andrew Appel of Princeton:

You seem to think that functional programming and in-place updates are mutually exclusive. This is not the case, e.g. Haskell supports mutation as a tracked and controlled side-effect. It can even give static guarantees that a function is pure even it uses mutation internally.
Recent research even suggests that compilers can add the in-place updates for us: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/fp2-ful...

The key thing is experienced Clojure programmers often see a lack of ORM as a feature rather than an oversight. There were some more ORM-like libraries years ago (see Korma) but my impression is that people ultimately didn't want this and moved on to lower-level JDBC wrappers combined with HoneySQL. I found a more detailed discussion on Reddit about Clojure and ORMs back in 2020 if you want to get more info: https://reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/g7qyoy/why_does_orm_ha...

Note that I'm not making a value judgement about Python/Django or any other library/framework combination. It's obviously a valid path, but Clojure is a different path. I can assure you there are straightforward solutions to create readable APIs like the Django example with minimal boilerplate, but the approach is fundamentally different from Python/Django.

If you do decide to build something in Clojure and think, "I already know how to do this in Django, why is it missing?", don't hesitate to join the Clojurians Slack and hop into the #beginners channel. There are plenty of people who can help you there.
