Conversely, customers actually were outraged with many models of iPhones and Macbooks whether it was bendgate or the Butterfly keyboard fiasco.

The lesson? Apple customers will buy whatever they're presented, because they do not percieve any way to effectively encourage change in the business they patronize.
That's actually the first python transition I mentioned, per-process hash randomisation had the effect of making map iteration non-deterministic. I believe in both cases this was in response to the hashdos concern / attacks.
The quickjs interpreter C code counts the bytes it's allocated, and refuses to allocate more if over the limit. It decrements by the allocation size when freed. This malloc function is used everywhere the interpreter allocates memory:

static void *js_def_malloc(JSMallocState *s, size_t size)
{
void *ptr;

/* Do not allocate zero bytes: behavior is platform dependent */
assert(size != 0);

if (unlikely(s->malloc_size + size > s->malloc_limit))
return NULL;

ptr = malloc(size);
if (!ptr)
return NULL;

s->malloc_count++;
s->malloc_size += js_def_malloc_usable_size(ptr) + MALLOC_OVERHEAD;
return ptr;

When it comes to inclusion, I look at where the rubber actually meets the road.

If a project welcomes diverse contributors and doesn't foster an environment that alienates them (which, in part, you can evidence by their continued presence and contributions), that seems way more worth its weight than academic quibbles about the language used in documentation.

Are cis and trans women contributors speaking up about any problems? If not, then is the issue really important? I'd rather see a project not actively alienate cis and trans women developers - a higher bar to actively meet than you'd think - than to be religiously attentive to "microaggressions" and the like while doing very little to actually accommodate them as contributors.
I agree. The guy has always thought he's some architect of society and it really rubs me the wrong way.

This is all true if there is a single hierarchy that everything is directed through.

What works better is introducing forms of competition, so that you might have different shops with overlapping, even duplicative responsibilities within the organization. This always appears wasteful to managers, but is the only way I've seen for change to occur in larger orgs.

As Adams noted, people really don't like competition as it forces them to work and innovate. They will go to great lengths to create a situation where they don't have to and can just coast.

You need GPUs to train models. Right now that's just the way it is; you can enjoy inference on weaker hardware, but training is plainly unforgiving.

Thankfully, you can get pretty good results finetuning on a much smaller and cheaper GPU like the 3060ti. Going from GPU-poor to GPU-rich is easier than you might think.
This brings back memories!

There was a period of time, in mid-late 2010s, when I was hopelessly looking for a web-based IDE that supported programming in Java. There was cloud9 for web programming, but it didn't have Java support. There was Eclipse Che and Theia which were apparently related in some way, but I could never figure out how exactly. They however (Che at least), were painful to install and more importantly required Docker to work, and docker required minimum Linux kernel version 3, while the cheap VPS providers I could afford supported this OpenVZ thing with a patched 2.6.whatever kernel version.... Poooff!

Fast forward to 2022: I finally found VS Code Server by Coder.com, a nice, well-documented project with support for Java and many more languages, and that without docker. OpenVZ has moved beyond obsolete kernel versions, and most VPS providers offer KVM machines with decent prices anyway. Happy seeing this progress :)

By the way, I still don't know how are Che and Theia (and Eclipse, and VSCode it seems) are related to each other.
It seems you're missing that the Constitution often is construed as placing restrictions on the states, to be enforced by the federal government. It's not purely just restriction on what the federal government can do, rather that is an argument often trotted out by other entities justifying their infringement of rights. Sometimes this argument works, but just as often it does not. Hence this case continuing on first/fourth amendment grounds despite it being about local law enforcement.

Totally agreed on feedback and correction mechanisms, and applying systems thinking in general. I'd say the US Constitution was a good first attempt but by no means a robust system, but yet we're now stuck appealing to it or judges inventing principles out of whole cloth (aka common law) as the main check against sprawling federal power. Not that we aren't also taking that federal power for granted as it's keeping other sprawling power structures in check.
> As a result of this history and success, there is a certain sense in which Mark Zuckerberg has been cast as the spokesman for the Millennial generation — as the single person who gives voice to the hopes and fears and the unique experiences of this generation

LOL I'm just a bit older than "Millenials" but I don't know anyone in that age range who thinks Mark Zuckerberg, of all people, has the lived experience, and the same shared hopes, dreams, struggles, and fears of that generation at large, to the point where he can speak for that generation. I haven't even gotten through 1/4 of the article and Thiel seems so lost and out of touch.

EDIT: This is why you should read the whole article before posting. Right after that part, Thiel admits that Zucc is actually not that representative of his generation. Pulled the trigger too soon on this one!

I hope not. I can't stand cilantro. Even a tiny amount renders food completely inedible to me. I wouldn't say it tastes like soap to me (although the first time I heard that, I understood). It tastes more like strongly-flavored dust.

I hate this fact because cilantro has become fashionable and has made eating out into a bit of a gamble. I'd be thrilled if I started liking it, or at least stopped hating it so much.
I generally think math competitions do more harm than good for math outreach, especially if only 60(!!) students for a country the size of the US are being given any actual development after the initial tests.
I love the intent behind this letter. So often talented people are just below the "cut off" for whatever opportunity they are seeking, and they see themselves as unworthy. Some may give up, especially if they are young and have not had other forms of recognition.

As a cynical and slacker-esque GenXer, my take is that capable people, people with drive and resources, choose instead to follow all the broadening paths to wealth (and by extension power) rather than pursue politics.

Before the dot.com, the ways to relatively rapid wealth were mostly, finance, law, and maybe medicine (and that was less rapid) — starting a company and acquiring capital was much more limited. Going into politics was actually a decent option if you were smart but a little less connected to get into finance and didn’t want debt of law/med school.

Additionally, with the rise of the internet, being political which requires a lot more public speaking than most other careers, offers way more chance for missteps and life altering embarrassments.

To summarize: GenX basically said “talk to the hand” to politics.

Well, in a conscription scenario you don't weed out everyone who doesn't want to be there. That's ... what makes it conscription. In the AVF (All Volunteer Force) we do in fact weed out people who don't want to be there, and the relative pressure of that weed-out process increases the more elite the unit is that we're talking about. The state of military recruiting in the United States is the worst it's ever been, or close to it, but that is unrelated to that process described above since the problem is upstream from basic training.

I'm probably confusing people with my use of the word "will" in this context, since it can mean several things in English. What I'm really saying is that those who have the actual aptitude "will derive complex concepts on their own, and will be likely to pursue further their math education". It's already difficult to identify those people when they're young enough, and even harder if you teach math in a "lowest common denominator" approach, which is essentially what the American strategy is (with notable exceptions that probably just prove the rule).
You make good points. I think this illustrates well that software engineering is much more akin to writing than it is to carpentry/construction. Thus, a team of software developers is more akin to a team of story writers than a team of carpenters. A software company is more akin to a newspaper (writers/reporter/chief editor) vs a construction firm (business giving direction to an architect and in turn a foreman + dozens of laborers)
I work at a government facility that offers venue rentals. The rental contract states the facility name must not be used in order to avoid the scenario where someone tries to make a private event sound like it is endorsed by the government.

Oddly enough, the facility name gives the impression it is affiliated with an unrelated institution. This results in interesting conversations where one starts by dissuading grifting based upon the implied affiliation, and ends by telling them they are barking up the wrong tree when they try grifting based upon the actual affiliation.

If these people did not exist, many institutions would be far more generous with their space. That is especially true of colleges and universities, where there is often a strong desire to foster positive relationships with the community.

Pixel 4a is built on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G (and 4a 5G on a 765G). It is Qualcomm’s policy that consumer chips like these get 3 years of support for baseband, driver, etc. updates.

Mind you, I’m not saying we shouldn’t complain to Google if we want them to transmit some backpressure on Qualcomm, just that basically the whole ecosystem is like this due to depending on a single chipmaker.

(In other news, Pixel 6 and later get three years of version updates and five of security patches; Pixel 8 and later get seven years of both. As far as I know, this us some sort of Google-specific sweetheart deal—other phones with Qualcomm consumer chips don’t get the same treatment.)

I'm commenting on your answer because you got the "right" answer first. This is what I was going to say:

My explanation is that the reason a mirror appears to reflect text (or anything else) horizontally rather than vertically is because, whether physically or in our mind's eye, we conduct the comparison by rotating our point of view around a vertical axis. If instead you adjust your point of view by rotating about a horizontal axis (e.g., compare what the UCLA on your sweatshirt looks like in your bathroom mirror to what it looks like looking down at your own chest), you find that things are unchanged left-to-right but upside-down vertically.

Trump is technically Silent Generation (edit: Nope, im wrong, he's a boomer), but I feel like he's very much a "Gen-X" president in how he sort of encapsulates that generations id. He rose to prominence in public consciousness during Gen-X's formative years. His TV career likewise took off as Gen-X grew as a share of the adult TV viewing audience, with his shows doing well in that demographic. And finally, during the 2016 and 2020 election his support was extremely strong with them in 2016 and 2020[1], tracking closer 65+ voters than Millennials or Zoomers. Romney did not enjoy the same support from Xers in 2012[2]. Long story short, Trump has tapped into Gen-X in a way even Gen-X politicians have been unable to.

Birth years of last 5 presidents: 1946, 1946, 1961, 1946, 1942. And, assuming no one drops out and they both survive to election day, 1942 or 1946 will be the next one.

Obama, being born in 1961, is on the edge of Boomers and Gen X, since generational boundaries are always a little poorly defined. He was 47 years old when elected to his first term in 2008, so we definitely think of him as a "young president." Plus, he was only a US senator for 3 years before winning the presidency. Bill Clinton, a definite boomer, was 46 when he was elected in 1992.

I joked that I was a half pizza team on my own. The commute had me riding 25 miles per day on bike, I don't eat breakfast and only a light dinner -> lunch was easily 4 slices of pizza.

In seriousness, pizza is not a bad measure since it means basically 3 to 4 people per pizza. Thus two pizzas is 6 to 8. 2 slices is usually assumed to be the serving size. 20 people is not even one slice per person
I like this. "Strong opinions held loosely" always struck me as annoyingly hard-headed, but I think the author is able to strike a balance between having an opinion and seeking out new information to get at the truth. Having to have an opinion forces you to really engage with the material in a deep way, instead of just passively absorbing it, doing things that feel like work. It's a cool shortcut; I'll try it next time I'm learning something!

> And finally what are the remedies shown to work as a cure?

If a "cure" worked, we'd know of it by now. A lot of the people engaged in tang ping and the Sampo generation genuinely believe that the conditions of their existence are hopeless. You can make them more functional, encourage them to start a family or whatever, but fundamentally I do not think these people will be happy unless the society they participate in improves. Worse yet, many of them are probably correct and do not lead financially or emotionally stable enough lives to participate in the world like society expects them to.

I suspect that there isn't any one unified theory of why/how people give up in this way. Rehabilitating the next generation's youth might first necessitate fixing the local economy and giving them something to work for.
I have very little experience with the threat model associated with the macOS keychain and how its promises are enforced. A cursory look into its features reveals an export/import function for elements (except passwords) secured in the keychain. An attacker could just export the keys then.

The next question would be, if the keychain just hands out the keys to the application to be used? How would it ever identity a program as being eligible to receive a certain key? An attacker could just ask the keychain for the key.

A user is commonly able to read the process memory of any process running under his account. An attacker could extract the keys from process memory. And so on and so forth.

So you are very likely again where you were before: An attacker being able to execute code in the context of a user can steal his data. The only thing that varies is how much work it is.

In theory Apple may have exposed a security processor akin to a smart card with which Signal could generate public/private key pairs where the private key resides in the hardware and cannot be extracted. It does not appear the MacOS key chain works that way.
