Probably not, I can't remember the last time I looked at 'resolvectl' output and saw anything other than "DNSSEC: no" on any system so I assume it mostly just doesn't exist in practice
This is the single thing that would fix most democracy problems, I can't believe that someone is trying it!!!

Yes very much. I have the impression that some FAANG type companies have diverted resources/headcount to AI related roles while keeping the job openings around, which maybe means if you apply to a job, and it's not an AI job, you might never hear back. One person who used to work at one of these companies confirmed this to me, that resources have been put on AI and taken away elsewhere.
What I'm also concerned about is that the idea is being sold that AI will replace software engineering and of course there are many companies who love that idea and will happily buy into it regardless of whether this will ever happen. This has the effect I think that many people will switch careers and after the AI thing blows over, there will be less talent around, or the talent will be AI focused and there will be a problem to find talent that can get the job done, whatever it is.
The Quest 2 and 3 are at the price point where normal people will buy it.

Imagine once they get it down to half the weight. The headsets are already pretty popular.

>AI code tools cannot create much usefully-intricate, specific, or reliably correct at this point. It's helpful for completing predictable sequences like advanced code completion, but that's about the limit of it's utility right now.

The same can be said for junior engineers. Would you rather pay 20$ a month for AI tools your senior engineers can use, or 110k for a junior engineer? I think people are underestimating how many jobs will be replaced by AI.

Not disagreeing that C++ is awful in a lot of ways and super difficult though. But I still weirdly like it, personally. I find it a fun challenge/puzzle to work with.
Why do the Apple Studio Display and iMac still have big bezels?
Compared to other cheaper options, the Apple products has noticeably bigger bezels. It has fantastic design, build quality, sound, and image but bigger bezels. Why is that? Is there any technical reason? Has Apple had to compromise between those features?
There is also a certification and vetting process for electronic lock rekeying, for obvious reasons. But that is a nitpick.

Speaking to your comment more generally — I’ve long been concerned about these newer manufacturers and DRM. Even if the source code is released, there’s no guarantee or requirement to release keying material that might be used to enforce firmware checks/attest to firmware integrity. That might (or not) be arguably okay as long as the manufacturer remains in business, but certainly not when they’re no longer around.

That problem will only get worse and serves to devalue cars and unnecessarily junk them, which is hard on the environment and a waste of societal resources.
I don't think that having push notifications constantly in field of view sounds ideal for focused work.
> Do people in the US genuinely believe that?

Yes, we fairly reasonably believe that Russia's struggle to make progress against a smaller neighbor using NATO hand-me-downs is heavily indicative of how they'd do against all of NATO using B-2s, F-22s and F-35s.
It's local to UK and more recent British colonies

The PC was already ginormous in its own right way before the internet came along though. Not to say the internet didn't propel it again an order of magnitude but it didn't need the internet to become huge.
So you're suggesting that politicians lying be tried (with prosecutorial discretion) by a jury of their peers in order to determine whether a lie was told? How would this law be written? Would politicians be imprisoned for giving a deceptive compliment? eg. "No, that dress doesn't make you look fat at all"

know plenty that get bonuses, yearly. individual performance + company (stock) performance + other variables = some percentage of salary, handed out as RSUs or cash or both.

never seen any one-off bounties or extra bonus for shipping one specific thing. usually it just gets rolled up in the "your yearly performance discussion".

obviously founders / owners / folks holding a lot of stock are playing by different rules
Insulation is worthwhile, but has nothing to do with what you are asking.

If you are heating a house, or a water tank, or anything, it requires much more energy to keep it at a constant temp 24x7 than it does to let it cool down when you don't need it hot, and then just heat it back up again later.

That is why "smart" thermostats like the Nest became so popular. No need to heat your house while you are away during the day. So let it cool down a bit, then just warm it back up again soon before you come home.
Much less energy used.
It's not inconceivable that a Russian counter-battery strike could force Ukrainian troops to flee (or kill them) but leave behind some intact equipment.
Taken to the extreme, you can then also not trust the free world. Reuters also cites the Russian sources:

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-accuses-kyiv-usi...

So either Russia shot down 4 of the 5 missiles and they landed in apartment buildings, or the one that landed on the beach was also shot down.

Or they staged everything, including blowing up apartment buildings.

Unlikely, since Defense Secretary Austin had emergency phone calls after the beach incident.

Regarding the stalemate, maps shown at the Institute for the Study of War also show little change. No need for Russian sources here.
That is what ROMc and HIP were supposed to be somehow, but even that isn't really CUDA, as in the polyglot programming language environment, with C, C++ and Fortran first, plus others, followed by Python JIT, libraries, IDE, and a GPU graphical debugger.
Ruzzia already has soviet tanks,
and a Russian stole an helicopter and defected.

But my imagination fails me to see how a soldiers is smuggling a missile, it won't fit in his pockets/ass and he can't ride it to Kremlin and they must be some good kilometers behind the font lines. so tell me how you imagine this happening ?

Agree. It took a truly superior product at lower cost to make a dent in Intel's dominance in server, all the while Intel tried their best to flex their lock in muscle.

That happened well after 2008, with the advent of Zen and chiplet bases tech and better perf/W
Let's not forget the core shakiness and trust-based nature of BGP will be our ultimate safeguard against an AGI takeover.

I'm a big fan of rail networks in Factorio, I am really looking forward to the new changes. They're going to improve quality of life a lot, it's very exciting!

I'm also looking forward to whatever happens with the Angel's and Bob's mods, because I really enjoy the vast web of materials I can create.

I have a lot of examples but a funny one that comes to mind is: in the early 2000s when IM clients were all the rage, I wrote a VB6 application to go through my MSN Messenger logs and rank my friends by how much I talk to them. Kind of like a MySpace top 10 prior to MySpace.

I spent a decent amount of time tweaking the UI, improving performance, adding filters, providing different file output formats, etc. Never shared it with anyone.
Yes, unless you have some sort of protection.

Protection could be validating DNSSEC (most likely not)

Or using DoH (DNS over HTTPS) or DoT (DNS over TLS)
Over the past two years I've been working on tooling that allows me to delink programs back into object files. What started out as a bunch of Jython scripts is nowadays a full-blown Ghidra extension that can export working object files from a program selection in two mouse clicks. I'm using it as part of a video game decompilation project, but it also enables a whole bunch of other use cases I've documented on my blog.

It's not that it is meant for my use only (any capable reverse-engineer familiar with Ghidra should be able to pick it up and use it) nor that it will never see the light of the day (it's open-source). However, it is such an esoteric capability and outright heresy according to computer sciences that I'm having a hard time just finding people who can wrap their heads around the concept, let alone people who would actually want to use this. Simply put, it's so far out there that I don't even know where or how I could even advertise it in the first place, which makes it de facto for my own use only.

A couple of people did end up reaching out to me in the last couple of weeks about it, so it might be on the cusp of sprouting a very tiny user base. Still, I've made it for my own use and until very recently I've never expected anybody else would use it.

If someone wants to check out the dark magic: https://github.com/boricj/ghidra-delinker-extension (disclaimer: might give nightmares to linker developers).
More practically: do you have DoH enabled? If you're using Chrome, the answer is probably yes.
Maybe we could have avoided it. Maybe not.

It's wishful thinking to say "All we had to do was give them what they wanted." I'll skip the tired historical comparison, but just point out that we can't know the counterfactual.

I certainly do not deny American entitlement and exceptionalism, and I think it's a massive mistake on our part. But nobody in the US (or Europe) has any designs on Russian territory. Our mistake as about how we treat our friends, not our enemies.

The Ukraine war was put NATO even more on Russia's borders, and Putin has been NATO's greatest salesman. It's hard to foresee an outcome that doesn't end with Ukraine (in whatever territory it can keep) joining NATO.

America definitely needs to fix its attitude. But Russia appears intent on completely misunderstanding us, and doing so in ways that get its ass kicked. That's not good for anybody, but Russia least of all.

> The theater is the political culture war. Millions of human lives will die in the chase for politically charged click bait.

"The culture war will result in millions of human deaths" is one hell of a prediction.

It's the culture war because it's not a real war! Casualties from people arguing on the internet are very rare.
That's why I said that technically the quoted phrase was incorrect, as you agreed with.

After that it's just a question of how much you buy the ignorance.
Suppose that a codebase has two different functions with two different purposes, but they currently have the same implementation. (Say, the "factorial" function is used to implement that operator in a user-facing REPL, but also some growable-array implementation happens to use a factorial function for its allocation policy.) Then if one function starts needing a different implementation (e.g., a new allocation policy), then how do you reliably separate the two in this model? It would seem like there is no way to disambiguate a function apart from its current implementation.
My day job is all about doing presentations, so I obviously wrote my own slide software. It is a pure expression of my workflow, my requirements, and my idiosyncrasies and the way all of the above changed over ~10 years. It is a great performance booster if you can basically brain dump your thoughts straight into slides, and if you can just implement breaking changes (or choose to keep supporting an objectively bad feature for all eternity). I don't need to care about any other users, or the bus factor.

The only part of that software that ever became public was the animated syntax highlighter[0], but I don't believe any other part would help anyone else accomplish anything.

Putin thought he would control Kyiv in 2 weeks and that gambit failed miserably and if he were to leave Ukraine now he would look extremely weak and likely get overthrown and/or executed.

That’s why the war continues.

If it had anything to do with NATO, but maybe you didn’t notice that as a direct result of this war 2 nations with borders with Russia have joined NATO and those 2 nations are significantly more useful members for NATO with a highly advanced defense industry in the case of Sweden, and a history of kicking Russian ass against significant odds in the case of Finland.

And even the nonsense of NATO entering Russia is ridiculous. NATO is made of functioning countries that want to basically just do trade. The last thing they want is a war with a nuclear power. Heck, 2.5 years into a very clear war of aggression by Russia where there is no uncertainty about Russia’s moral guilt and the illegalness of its invasion as well as the legality of Ukraine’s defense of itself, NATO has just given Ukraine the permission to strike on Russian soil but even then in a highly limited area and only indisputably military targets.

All the evidence for decades, including, for example, efforts by the U.S. to increase free trade with Russia, the Brits inviting Russian oligarchs to buy up their key football clubs and all the land in London, and Germany deliberately making itself dependent on Russian gas, has shown that NATO countries want Russia to be a partner in the community of nations and have absolutely no interest in Russia’s largely worthless land.
It has a solution: obsoleting features and then removing them. For examples, see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B17#Removed_features

Part of their ‘problem’ is that they have lots and lots of users with long-living code bases. That means that, if they move fast and break things, their users won’t move to newer versions of the language.

Another part is that they want to be able to generate the fastest code possible. That leads to such things as having all kinds of constructors (‘normal’ ones, copy constructors, move constructors), and giving developers the ability to tweak them for maximum performance.

In addition, a lot of this was invented after the language was in use for decades. I think that makes the constructor story more complicated than needed.

Very much so, people try to sell it like it's a magical solution to all the world problems. Even if it was as amazing as people tout it to be right now (it isn't) it wouldn't make our lives better. Maybe faster, a bit cheaper (for some) but not better in the most fundamental sense. We can do better right now but choose to ignore our most important issues to chase the new shiny thing.

AI R&D definitively has its place but certainly not like this, this feels like just another hype bubble.

There is so much consultancy FUD about DORA. It's not going to impact freelancers or most SMEs.

The regulation mostly expands regulation - there are already EBA requirements around outsourcing for a smaller list of financial institutions - in the European Economic Area (EEA, sort of EU plus) to ensure financial institution operational resilience (ie to ensure they won't fall over when technical or operational issues occur internally or in their tech supply chains).

The regulation, amongst other things, is concerned with direct or indirect use of "ICT third party suppliers" and requires that financial institutions keep tabs on that, make sure that they've got the right contractual stuff in place, are doing risk management, and are testing their "digital operational resilience".

Most SMEs won't be hit by this at all.

If you are classified as a crypto asset manager, or are a critical supplier to a fairly generic list of financial institution types, you'll be in discussions already with your clients to help them rule you out of scope since you aren't going to be critical to their ongoing operations.

There will not be badges or accreditation any time soon as far as I understand. If you're in scope, it's all going to be contractual between you and your client, and mostly to ensure that you're doing risk management with YOUR suppliers and can do incident response and reporting. All stuff serious businesses should be doing already.

See the EBA's information page [0] and look for RTS on ICT TPP. Again, it's not going to be the SME's responsibility unless you're a DORA financial institution.

If you end up protesting alongside white supremacists, you're with them. You don't go to a protest supported by KKK just because you agree on a few specific points they raise. "Oh, hi, I see you're about to clash with antifa, but you see I'm also interested in preserving this statue, respectfully, I'll just stand here on the side". It's not like they were secretive about turning up there with a surprising agenda - the event was openly organised by white supremacists.
This remains a constructive problem though because the U.S. Congress is either variously outright dysfunctional or captured by self-interested parties.

Which we need to fix regardless, but in the interim it’s hard to conclude that the federal government isn’t starting to crumble under the combined weight of that problem and the general, concerning erosion of trust in expertise and institutions, and the rise of populism. The Supreme Court is very efficiently pouring gas on that fire.

"Nothing has changed in 2 years."

2 years ago, Russia was in full control of the Black Sea. Russia's IFV, tank and artillery storage depots were still well-stocked with vehicles. It was still able to fly A50 spy planes over the Sea of Azov and Black sea. Ukraine had no practical means of waging a campaign against Russian oil refineries, it had HIMARS, but no western tanks, Bradley IFVs, Patriot, Samp-T and NASAMs batteries, no Storm Shadow/Scalp missiles, no prospect of western jets and their weapons systems.

For balance, Ukraine still had its power stations, tens of thousands of its soldiers were still alive. Bakhmut and Avdiivka hadn't been razed, Vuhledar hadn't been shattered, and it had yet to spend part of its force on an poorly-judged counter-offensive.

No matter how deadlocked it might seem today, a position isn't a stalemate when so much around either side's ability to wage war is in flux.
