Word of advice from someone who left: if you've reached the point you're trashing work for a root-level OKR that is considered existential, taking an absolutist exaggerated stance against it, and discussing fine-grained details of internal tools, while claiming they go against PR/"research papers"...you're well past the right time to leave.

We all have unique circumstances, but I can almost guarantee you that you'll be absurdly happier elsewhere.

Life's short, and no matter how much you save, something can take it away.

> Maybe humans didn't originate in Africa. There are many arguments for and against.

Sure, but the arguments against are in the same vein as the argument that, if I draw a circle, it's not a real circle, because I don't have the level of fine control over my hand that would be necessary to produce one of those, and the tip of my pen is too wide.

True, but not really relevant to anything, and in particular unlikely to convince anyone that it's a mistake to call what I drew "a circle".
I don’t think this is really true? The Mongols and Huns were nomadic and also drank.
> does that piece warrant a whole new term?

In my opinion: Yes, definitely! Without meta-tracing techniques, a JIT'd interpreter can only hope to be on par with a compiled interpreter, never significantly faster. It will never go beyond the limitations of an interpreter, because the JIT can't "see" the user code that the interpreter is running.

The day napoleon was defeated, europe was filled with generals who knew it better and would have won. We know much more in hindsight - and every game is easier with perfect information.

We have send people to space in space-suits, which when under pressure would extend there arms and were no longer able to fold them back in. We know better now, but back then we didn't know. So the art to prepare for such "adventures" is very different to what we imagine. No endless information gathering, instead you select a person that can improvise on the spot with the spotty information you have. You give them tools to improvise: Knifes to cut the spacesuit open, duct-tape and rubber-tourniquets to keep the helmet pressurized. Not great, not terrible. Oh, and in hindsight, do the first spacewalk unmanned?

People keep mentioning fail2ban. I claim that both this new behavior in sshd, and fail2ban, are unprincipled approaches to security. Now, I know fail2ban is a crowd favorite, so let me explain what I mean by unprincipled.

This is the problem fail2ban (and now sshd) try to solve: I want a few people to log into my computer, so I open my computer to billions of other computers around the world and allow anyone to make a login attempt, and then I want to stop all the illegitimate attempts, after they were already able to access port 22.

It's simple Bayesian probability that any attempt to head off all those illegitimate accesses will routinely result in situations where legitimate users are blocked just due to random mistakes rather than malicious intent. Meanwhile, illegitimate attempts continue to come en masse thanks to botnets, allowing anyone with an ssh exploit the chance to try their luck against your server.

A more principled approach to security is to not roll out the welcome mat in the first place. Instead of opening up sshd to the world, allowing anyone to try, and then blocking them, instead don't open up sshd to the world in the first place.

1. If possible, only permit logins from known and (relatively) trusted networks, or at least networks where you have some recourse if someone on the same network tries to attack you.

2. If access is needed from an untrusted network, use wireguard or similar, so sshd only needs to trust the wireguard connection. Any attempt at illegitimate access needs to crack both wireguard and ssh.

With those one or two simple measures in place, have another look at your sshd auth logs and marvel at the silence of no one trying to attack you a million times per day, while also having confidence that you will never accidentally lock yourself out.
If you want Linux isn't "just working" over time, give macOS a look. My dad was a lifelong Windows user and sung the praises of Microsoft's monopoly over the industry. As much as he was disappointed and upset with Borland Software dying off, he thought the benefit of a single document format everyone used was a huge benefit for the industry early on when Word started to take over, and by extension all of the standardization through a single player rather than through actual standards. He always said it worked great and didn't see why he'd ever want to change, or why anyone would want anything different.

He ended up switching to Apple around 15 years ago after a series of bad experiences. He was very nervous about it, and really hedged his bets early on. It took him some time to get used to how the OS worked, to find new apps to replace some that he had used since the Windows 3.1 days, and sort out his workflows. He eventually gave up his Windows VM when he realized the only thing he ever used it for was to run Windows Update.

I grew up on Windows, with the views from my dad instilled in me. In college I tried Linux and ultimately moved to the Mac about 21 years ago. I still used Linux on and off for the past 22 years (and currently have a music server running it). I do find Linux to still be much more finicky than macOS. No system is perfect, but macOS is more of a "just works" operating system than Linux (imo), likely due to the focus on polishing that last 10% of the user experience, that never seems to get the attention it needs in Linux. While I am excited to see what Cosmic has to offer later this year on Pop OS, I'm always ending up having to deal with some level of nonsense, even my most recent install of Mint just last week had a few annoying things where things didn't work, and they should have worked.

Sprinting Slows You Down: A Better Way to Build Software
Precisely. Loosely speaking, CMOS power dissipation is governed by the equation P = alpha*F*V*V, where V is the voltage, F is the frequency of transistors toggling and alpha is an activity factor between 0.0 and 1.0, corresponding to how many transistors toggle. More utilization = more transistors toggling = more power draw. Generally.

> There are two poles

I'm not sure I agree. I think you can write a simple-but-not-hacky implementation that does only what is necessary, and is also easy to maintain and extend later.

Of course, you never really achieve that ideal, but you can keep getting closer to it as you gain more experience.
Actually they're not really clear on the timelines of extinction and arrival so it's not an open and shut case.
There used to be no option to uninstall it - now there is.

You will still get it reinstalled during a major OS update, but at least it can easily be removed. Before it was a chore to clean up.

I would speculate there is even some way to prevent it from reinstalling during those major updates. That seems like the kind of capability they would build in because a huge Windows customer complained (i.e. realistically, the major check against dark patterns in Windows).
I don't really drink anymore, and before that I used to drink enough (3-4 glasses of wine most nights) that I rarely hit the sweet spot. But if I could hit it, that buzzy feeling was really pretty damn good (although ... it didn't last very long, and was incredibly easy to overshoot).

No, I'm not saying that.

I'm saying that if you have one PRNG, then you have global state no matter how it's designed. This is true whether you write it so that you get decent statistics, or you write it so you get tons of duplicate values.

And many of the fixes remove global state. Per-thread PRNGs are one option, but so are PRNGs that are used by specific batches of objects.

So, the straightforward broken option has global state, and the non-broken options might or might not have global state.

Which means I have no idea what you're talking about when you use the phrase "need to have global state". What is the PRNG API where that need exists, and what does the version without global state look like?

>Graphic and print designers do not just use Photoshop; it’s not the right tool for that job. The bulk of that work happens outside Photoshop in Illustrator or InDesign.

Illustrator is for vector graphics, which they also use, but it's a different thing. And InDesign is for DTP, not for graphics work (illustration, graphic design, retouching, image manipulation, etc) for web or print.

I can definitely sympathize with alcohol improving me in some situations. When I'm at social gatherings sober I'm in my head a lot, overthinking. A couple of drinks in though and I'm not using my analytical brain, I'm using the part that is good at improv, and I have much better conversations because of it, and usually comes away from those events more positive than sober.
That, or they won't notice at all, and when a repair calls for replacing the logic board, say, they'll replace it with one pre-populated with whatever components match the BOM on file for your system, sending the original board populated with your aftermarket components for refurbishing and/or recycling without a second thought.

Anecdote: At an ED I used to work at, our cardiac monitors got "upgraded" to another manufacturer. Silencing false alarms was a black hole of a game of whack-a-mole. You could never silence them all, another would just pop up to spite you. Anyway, one night, it was continuing to alarm and being ignored (with a glance occasionally to make sure). Except somebody was in v-tach and the person who noticed was a medic bringing a patient in. Thank goodness they noticed amid the noise! (We had as good of outcome as could be expected with that patient, and they went to the cath lab and lived).

These ‘grid enhancing technologies’ look like cheap fixes that can only buy some time before real work is needed. Sure, with better monitoring and some overload management systems you may work closer to some limits, but that’s not a solution for long-term usage increases.

Where I work, they are used a lot to adjust for renewables power surges, not to increase transit.

The bit about automaticaly shifting power to other lines in a strained network is interesting, but I wonder how much security analysis is run to make sure it’s safe (or if it’s just an automation system working within bounds the operator deemed safe).

This doesn't sound like the equipment's fault.
Solar anti correlates with wind. Then the typical:

- Large grid to decouple weather patterns

- Demand response

- Storage

Some companies already support chargers which integrate with the pricing, they can even give you money back through demand response.

You can absolutely dump the traces somewhere and analyze them yourself. The problem is that this falls apart with scale. You are maybe serving thousands of requests per second. Your service has a ton of instances. Capturing all trace data for all requests from all services is just difficult. Where do you store all of it? How do you quickly find what you need? It gets very annoying very fast. When you pay a vendor, you pay them to deal with this.
I wonder how much information any 1 medical device with an alert knows though. GPWS has the benefit of being part of 1 system, where (I think, no experience here) hospitals seem to treat equipment as singular items that do 1 thing or are meant for a specific area of responsibility in an operation. Like a vitals monitor might not know what the drug pump is doing.

I could imagine

ventilation? arrhyth-*C-chord*-ARRHYTHMIA! CHECK PUMP! HEART RATE!

coming from different devices to be pretty distracting.

I think GPWS can set windows of cases where an alert is given. Like, a terrain warning isn't much help when landing. Maybe there's something like that already for medicine, but a device who's job is to consume information from other devices, and only provide alerts based on rules the staff can configure before an operation, could be a thing that's useful.
That's very true. Same with refactoring, there's never any time set aside to clean up and reorganize the code after it's written.

I'm pretty excited for the Cosmic DE later this year. Here is a demo given by the CEO and the design lead. The audio isn't the best, but good enough. This is probably the most excited I've been to try out a new operating system since OS X Tiger. It is being developed by the Pop OS team, but they are making it so anyone can use it, Fedora plans on having a spin, I believe it's out there for Arch, and I'm sure others will have it as an option. Though I wouldn't use it as a daily driver until it's actually released.

Another big thing is streamlining regional abilities to accelerate permitting for replacing old transmission line conductors.

Modern conductors can transmit significantly more energy by better conductor design, so replacing ancient conductors is a relatively cheap way to increase transmission capacity while also reducing line sag which makes the transmission lines safer.
You are right. I somehow incorrectly equated Mcd response as proof. Sorry for that, but thank you for correcting me here.
I have managed to avoid them in my 20 years in industry. I once interviewed and they wanted me to do a take home coding exercise to build a CI/CD system in Python (with a scheduler). No one does that - we use GitLab, Bamboo, Jenkins, etc.

Not a LeetCode example but my point is the coding exercises are silly.

(Plus Activision was apparently using Perforce at the time and not git)
I definitely get the use case. It's naive to ignore that there is utility.

But just because something has utility doesn't mean it comes at high costs. I mean it's a super powerful keylogger that is searchable without technical knowledge. Not to mention that it'll probably fail to LLM type of attacks, which even many non technical people are able to figure out.

But then again, I don't understand why people so passionately store all their chat logs (not just important/memorable messages) and take millions of photos. We kinda spy on ourselves

For me, the best part of TFA was the final paragraph that went into the actual risks to individuals rather than a public health policy perspective.

Both viewpoints are entirely valid, but being reminded that the actual risk of dying from any of the mechanisms alcohol interacts with are very low to start with, so small increases in those risks does not add up to much ... per individual.

As a society of millions, of course, the product of the shift in probability and population is quite significant.

The difference between these two perspectives is often ignored, or at best elided.

I was not aware that Vimium could already do what I tried to accomplish but to give you an answer: I made it possible that marks can be properly re-named and have their note taking place.

It was a joke about the feature of the same name in the context of regular expressions.

They'll ask a series of incriminating questions resulting in negative answers from you that can then be shown later to be false by inference. They may get you to assert that you never been to a certain location or never taken a certain action, they will accept that assertion, and then get you to add details to it. Later they'll show that one of your assertions was false, and therefore, all of the other dependent ones must be as well.
One of the reasons we've used it for centuries is that in the days before treated water it was safer to drink. Microbes in water had the potential to make you very sick or even kill you. Even today, if you're traveling to a location where the water supply is suspect, it's safer to drink beer instead of water.
Popular nutrition science suffers from correlation fallacy. Unless they can explain the causal mechanism, or at least hypothesize, it's practically bankrupt.

Plus, there is a lot of incentive to transition self-medicators off of alcohol and nicotine and onto SSRIs, diabetes medication, anti-anxiety meds and more profitable products.
The wgpu crate in rust can do two things. The first is that it is an implementation of the webgpu spec built upon OpenGL/Vulkan/DirectX/WebGL/Metal. This is what firefox uses. The other is that it can just generate calls to the webgpu api. This is what it does when targetting wasm.

So if you're writing rust with wgpu and you target wasm and run it in firefox you will have a wasm program that calls the browser's implementation of webgpu which is the same wgpu crate you used just built in the other way.

If you run it in Chrome instead it will use Dawn.

And in native land wgpu and dawn are incompatible and have different C-apis. One uses uint32_t everywhere and the other size_t. So they're the same on 32bit platforms like WASM but not on modern native platforms

Can you elaborate on what you mean that you're skeptical of how much agency you have to change what you should consume? A common definition of addiction is that it is the inability to control your consumption. However, "I never made the decision to drink less, I just naturally drank less," doesn't sound anything like addiction.

I began drinking both more frequently and in increased amounts of alcohol during the pandemic, but for me, this didn't stop or ease up until I made a conscious decision to stop. For me, it was habitual. And with habit came increased tolerance.
