Your numbers are by definition wrong, since young people would not have a problem to afford housing if they were "the richest generation".

I guess this is the progress of new-speak? We've had a decade of people saying "oh, people are so rich today that they don't want to have children". Now it's "oh, people are so rich today that they don't want to have homes". In a few years it will be "oh, people are so rich today that they don't want to eat food or have medical care".
This is my opinion about caffeine pills too. Cheap, convenient, effective, and safer against overdose than coffee (in one hand, a box of pills is probably lethal amount, but in the other hand, at least for me, it is much easier to control the amount of caffeine using pills, than using coffee).
For some definition of "other mitigation strategies", yes. The differences between CrowdStrike's EDR and any of the other top 5-10 products in its category are negligible, for example. But having strong GPO controls and a firewall and an email gateway doesn't absolve you of the need for something on endpoints. "Malware can hide, but it must run", as the old SANS saying goes, and the endpoint is where that happens.
It is surprising how the past three Presidential elections the Democratic party has had the least democratic process during the primaries.

In 2016, the Clintons ran a normal primary, but Bernie was creatively railroaded by the establishment and the superdelegates. The superdelegates went for Clinton 78% to Sanders 7%.

In 2020, COVID caused a lot of problems and Biden was basically selected without much of a real primary. Although he did secure the nomination and go on to win.

This year, due to party control they concealed the fact that Joe Biden was deteriorating. Fear of Trump was used to keep anyone from really challenging the incumbent. There was no real democratic primary here either. Due to campaign finance laws, the money donated to the Biden/Harris campaign is now locked to one of those two candidates. In effect, Kamala now is likely to be the candidate because of the lie about Joe Biden and collecting all the donations. For tons of reasons, the Democrats are now locked into a Harris campaign.

All of this is just a way to subvert a real democratic process...

Which is really annoying, and makes a ton of templated code in C++ have have to bifurcate on void unnecessarily. They already let me do return f(); in a void function if f also returns void... they should let me declare a variable of type void and the language is going to become a lot more pleasant.

wut. I was pretty sure they do learn from mistakes. but they call it 'training'
> Have you considered that those people queuing outside Starbucks might be drinking coffee because they enjoy the whole experience?

Not the OP, but to respond to your question I think that Starbucks is actually hitting its customers with a triple-whammy of caffeine, sugar, and fat that most brains can't resist addiction to. Are you sure they actually enjoy Starbucks coffee and not its addictive components?
The calling convention does say where to look for the return value. So in a sense the return value always exists, but would not be meaningful if the function has a void return type.
I don't see how this contradicts what I said. Indeed, there are helpers, but the verifier is supposed to check that the eBPF program isn't calling them with invalid arguments.
A pilot friend who flew for ryanair showed me around control tower of Frankfurt Hahn (hint: nowhere near the real frankfurt) some ten years ago. We were shooting the shit with the controllers as a private jet plane came in on the radio, asking permission to land. After some back and forth they discovered this was the fake frankfurt, and eventually didn't come in for landing. That got a good chuckle from everyone...
Have you used vercel before? It's a lot more than just a layer on AWS. They really understand specifically what Front end engineers need to be productive with their external stakeholders (ie: design, product, etc). I'm sure other products do this now but they were, as far as I know, the first to automatically deploy a version of your app by PR, for example.

Can you do this yourself? Yeah, obviously. But it's a build vs buy conversation and for a lot of people the value that this tooling gives you immediately is worth the buy.
Hydrogen comes from petroleum. It’s just oil with extra (cryogenic) steps in the fuel supply chain.

Just because you have not been aware of the discussions on this topic that have been happening for years, doesn't mean that they haven't been happening. This isn't some new analysis formed 3 days after an incident, this is the generally accepted consensus among many experts who have been working in the space, introducing these new APIs specifically to improve stability, security, etc. of systems.

I think this is especially true in businesses where the thing you are selling is literally your ability to do good engineering. In the case of Boeing the fundamental thing customers care about is the "goodness" of the actual plane (for example the quality, the value for money, etc). In the case of Crowdstrike people wanted high quality software to protect their computers.
RRWeb only records changes to the DOM, it doesn't actually replay the JavaScript that makes those changes happen. So you see exactly what the user sees, but you're not able to inspect memory or anything like that.

There are a few caveats since not everything is captured in the DOM, such as media playback state and content in canvases. The user may also have some configurations that change their media queries, such as dark mode or prefers reduced motion.

Edit: and yes, to your point, browser differences would also render differently.

TL;DR: s3-batch-object-store is a Go module that allows for batch uploading of objects to a single S3 file and retrieving each object separately using the AWS S3 API, fetching only the bytes for that specific object.

The method basically consists of appending multiple objects to a single file, keep the information of where each object is placed in the file, and then upload one single file to s3 with many objects in it, reducing drastically the number of PUT operations needed to store a large number of objets.

The developer company educed storage costs by 70% with our new approach. You can head to their s3-batch-object-store GitHub repository (https://github.com/embrace-io/s3-batch-object-store) to check out the module and try it out.
For coffee, for me personally: because it wasn't that hard to acquire. It took me like 2 cups of black coffee to get used to the bitterness, and the rest of the flavor is delicious.
The majority of the people I know who have PhDs have families with children by 30-35.

My experience in grad school is that there are two different classes of people pursuing PhDs:

- people whose parents have MSs or PhDs, who had guidance from a very early age, who have been advised the entire way through and are able to complete their PhDs by age 25-28

- people whose parents don't have advanced degrees, who are at a pretty severe disadvantage, who don't know how to start preparing for grad school applications during sophomore year of undergrad, who don't know how to pick a decent advisor, who don't know how to organize their own funding which provides some level of research independence and the ability to focus on completing their degree instead of worshipping their advisor, and these people are much more likely to take 6,7,8+ years to complete their PhD if they complete it at all

But that's not really relevant to this story. This is an article about a woman who dropped out of her PhD program to have kids, and was given an honorary degree decades later because the work she did complete was groundbreaking.

Given how long it takes to validate in a GxP environment, and the cost, this makes sense.
They're a thing that if present will maybe make a detector go click (or beep, or light up, or whatever that detector does to say "yes something is here").

Can you add your contact details to your profile? For those who don’t want to post their profile as a comment or don’t have a HN account.
The problem you describe is more about alignment between implementation and use cases. e.g. if your main use case is to have the data displayed on screen to be loaded, then that should be loaded. If it's desirable to preload other data in the background for later screen updates then just do that. The idea is more about first intent, load what is displayed on screen, if it's better to have parts loaded incrementally, then just do that.
The article also said "Those who sit at or near the apex of the social ladder (who decide what behaviors are prestigious) have decided that family stability is unimportant."

Who is at the apex of the social ladder? Am I?

I wish the author had expanded on this a little more because that feels like a high leverage point.
It would be a mistake to put Chinese paper mill science into the same category as western science. I mean this is a country where Government and private sector have no boundaries. China is purposely attempting to dillute actual science with partisan science.

Information that come from authoritarian regimes have no value. China is wasting its time on research that has no merit outside China.

And batteries are terrible at storing energy if you care at all about weight... which airplanes very much do. Every extra gram impacts range, speed, usable capacity, etc. etc.

[Edit] But of course I appreciate the effort.
Adding on (and it's not terribly relevant to eBPF), it's also worth noting that there are trivial programs you can prove DON'T halt.

A trivial example[1]:

int main() {
while (true) {}
int x = foo();
return x;
}

This program trivially runs forever[2], and indeed many static code analyzers will point out that everything after the `while (true) {}` line is unreachable.

I feel like the halting problem is incredibly widely misunderstood to be similar to be about "ANY program" when it really talks about "ALL programs".

[1]: In C++, this is undefined behavior technically, but C and most other programming languages define the behavior of this (or equivalent) function.

[2]: Fun relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1266/
Yes, that's the problem you face when you're dealing strictly with functions of a single argument. Still, there are two options: first, it's arguably is already written into the register so you don't need to do anything.

Alternatively, you may instead represent () as a full, 64-bit wide machine word and then map every 64-bit value to mean () so, again, you don't actually need to write anything: all registers contain a valid representation of () at all times. This is similar to how we usually represent booleans: 0 is mapped to mean False, and everything else is mapped to mean True, although in this case we sometimes do need to rematerialize some definite value into the register of choice.

In any case, it's mostly just a matter of correctly writing the constant materializer; but if you adopt multi-argument/multi-valued functions you simply never encounter this problem:

for arg, place in zip(arg_list, arg_places):
load(arg, place)
invoke(fun, kont)

for val, place in zip(ret_values, ret_places):
load(val, place)
kontinue(kont)

Notice how degenerate loops simply disappear with no additional handling.
I'm totally the other way around, I rely on colorized output heavily.

But! There's supposed to be a solution to this, set $NO_COLOR to some value. https://no-color.org

Totally reasonable to file a bug report against tools which don't check and respect that env variable.

You could also just dump it into a deep part of the ocean. Objectively this is safe and effective, but emotionally it's just terrible and people will think I'm trolling for even suggesting it.

Look up the PPM for uranium in ocean water, then multiply that out by how much ocean water there is. The amount of uranium naturally dissolved into the oceans is staggering. Nothing humanity can do will ever come close. Even when you throw the nasty transuranics into the consideration, it's nothing. Dump nuclear reactors straight into the oceans and stop worrying about it.
Ah. Yep, that makes sense. Thanks!
Eh, not really. You can literally ask Claude how to do this and do it from zero to working within an hour. Sure, if you're building a massively scalable solution running in multi regions with serverless and non-serverless, k8s, and RabbitMQ, sure that's hard. But half the people in these comments are running basic front-end apps with zero need for anything more complex than a small server somewhere.

Also, the truth is, for most small businesses, they don't need half the shit they are paying Vercel for. Most small businesses barely have any traffic so they're paying Vercel for a worldwide CDN and caching etc when a single AWS-micro instance in a single region would be fine, and setting up a single instance in AWS doesn't need complex server admin experience.
My best guess is that my blood pressure dropped precipitously. I would get light headed if I stood up. It would happen roughly 15 minutes after taking the medication.

There's a constitutional requirement that the candidate must be at least 35[1], which seems arbitrary to me. That was decided in 1787. I wonder what age they would have picked as a maximum age back then. I say that because (at least these days) it seems almost impossible to change, and people live a lot longer. Like we might be stuck with "Any age between 35 and 57" because people died young in 1787 relative to now.

Good thing they made this instead of expanding the standard library to be more like Java's or Python's. It still only contains the most basic functions, and std::monostate ;)
I'm not that familiar with C, or C++. My impression is that void is a special case that doesn't need to be special, some accidental complexity that came from mapping machine instructions to a higher level language.
The current version of the Hippocratic Oath says this:

"""
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures that are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
"""

Which does not include "except those I don't feel like doing".

The Declaration of Geneva states the following:

"""
THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF MY PATIENT will be my first consideration;
I WILL RESPECT the autonomy and dignity of my patient;
"""

Which I read to similarly state that a doctor's own preferences as to the procedures is necessarily secondary.
I know you're showing a rough example, but others might want to throw a `-d` in there so that folders don't get expanded. And put `$@` in quotations so spaced file names don't get interpreted as separate arguments.

i.e.:

ls -ltd "$@" | head

edit: `-d` may be a bad choice. It also results in directories being listed first on my system, even with `-t` passed.

edit 2: That was an alias I had setup. Carry on with the `-d`.

No, I agree that extreme wealth inequality is not desirable. But the question I'm trying to get at is if we can have medicine that will make people live dramatically healthier lives isn't it worth it even if some billionaires get to hold onto their wealth a little longer?

"But if we cure aging won't that mean that the ultra-rich will never go away??" That's what these conversations always seem to devolve into and it seems to miss the bigger picture.
Tendons may be the limiting factor here. They are soft tissue that has an elastic limit that is likely to be lower than solid non-deformable bone. Exceed that and tendons will either tear or pathologically lengthen.
Worth noting that Emacs makes Markdown tables pretty easy to create and format cleanly for plain text viewing, and other editors may/could/should do the same.
By "bad guy" you mean stereotypical management/business types, yes?

Sometimes you have to fight as dirty as the other fella is willing to.

That being said; many companies specifically structure their share offerings in such a way to keep the muggles from even being able to accrue meaningful voting rights. See Facebook/Meta's share partitioning strategy.

The fact is you have one meaningful vote: and that's "I will not work for you." After that the best you can do is raise awareness amongst others to hopefully get them to make the same decision. As usual for our capitalist system, however, greed is considered good, so the number of successes you'll see starving a project for talent will be far lower than implementations that shouldn't have been done being done because the lucre was too good for someone to pass up.
You can't fix Microsoft Teams, only Microsoft can do that. It's wild to me how Microsoft, Slack and others have taken what has existed for decades, eg irc, and completely ruined it. In both applications the UX is horrid and search either doesn't work or is a terrible experience. Teams on Mac is so buggy you might as well uninstall it, your communication over teams will be just as effective as if it was installed.
I’m really curious about the percentage of total software projects that have real scalability concerns.

The majority of my career has been working on products that barely get 100k monthly active users. These projects don’t really need to worry about scalability because it’ll never happen. It hasn’t happened in the last 30 years, unlikely to happen in the next two years.

With that in mind why spend so much resources on complexity where the only benefits are to the engineers that get to add another buzz word to their resume?

I’m guessing the total percentage is less than 5, probably 1% seeing how Wordpress is still the most used framework on the internet.

I’ve worked at companies that cared about complexity and it was baked into the code. After the product was released we only got 500 users when the initial projection was 10,000 (this was a company selling Medicare advantage plans). The org was eventually disbanded.

We probably spent $20 million in additional “engineering” effort that was never used.

At some point you have to question why things are done a certain way if there aren’t material benefits.

In infra case there is ton of marketing and momentum pushing people to not do their own. Sandwich case is not really similar in this aspect imo, generally it is more of a bragging point to make your own healthy sandwiches.

I'd still like to see Milton Friedman's idea of a negative income tax tested some day. It would not have any of the downsides - it's not universal so you don't give out money to people who are already well-employed, and it increases as you make more (to a certain point) so it incentivizes working.

"If it appears as though it returns a member of ∅, it must hang/crash, because there are no members of ∅."

If you want to go with math, think more group theory. I'm specifically thinking about how you can always create a monoid if you have an associative binary operation, because even if your associative binary operation doesn't have an identity element, you can just declare one. Similarly, if you have "functions" that "return nothing", you just declare that nothing right into existence. Then you can just think of the C language layer basically erasing away any attempt to examine that value returned behind the scenes, because as you say, why?
