Agreed. Nix expressions should always be preferred over YAML. It's much more readable and maintainable with fewer corner cases than YAML.
Ideally, the business should have their processes defined before ever implementing them technically. So these architectural questions should mostly be addressable from the start. Knowing hoe the processes look upfront can actually lead to some wonderful designs rather than constant reactors. We had a system that we knew from the start would have multiple UI layouts for multiple workflows that shared mostly similar data. We were able to build the UI to dynamically build the pages based on the data.

The way I read this is that it's like how Microsoft missed out on mobile even after making Windows Phone by underestimating just how important it was as a future market.

Sometimes simulation is your only option, so this is a good skill to have in that case. This is meant to show both approaches.

seriously, how does this not violate wire tapping laws? does agreeing to ToS mean you also agree to being spied on in a way that protects them? you are deliberately circumventing encryption for malicious purposes. if people got in trouble for DeCSS for circumventing encryption, how is this okay?

pithy "because they have all the monies" replies not wanted.
I think maybe they’re implying that if the experiment lacks value, funding for it will dry up and our simulated reality will get shut down. So it’s only the end of the universe as we know it. I’m sure that doesn’t matter…

I can't find where that article is getting $90 an hour, I'm seeing 28 an hour starting, with 42 an hour as a max in 2028 (which isn't to say anything about the people in probation; we shouldn't forget people sometimes have to work for years to earn their way into a union). This would suggest the salary is lower than at Tesla (at least according to Reuters) https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gms-la...

From the studies I've seen, factory unions pay the most at formation, and after 5 years they fall to 1-2% above comparable factories in regards to total compensation. This makes sense, as union contracts are usually negotiated against industry averages, and no offense to joe schmo from aluminum castings but the Harvard MBA in charge of negotiating for the company is usually a better negotiator.
I had assumed as much, but wasn't sure.

After all, the US uses not only different units (mi vs km, yards vs meters) but also different symbols for the same units (kph vs km/h, sqm vs m², "klicks" vs km). I've even seen americans use "mt" for metric tons.
> For instance, at the end of WWII we did not have the federal highway system but the nation is much better off for that on-going expenditure.

The federal highway budget is $60 billion. It probably isn't spending the money particularly efficiently, but it's also only 1% of the federal budget.

> Most government interaction is now possible online which requires expensive staff and infra to maintain, but is certainly an improvement over having to do everything in person.

Shouldn't this result in lower costs? You need a $100,000 system administrator instead of two dozen $40,000 clerks, but that doesn't sum to a larger number.

> And to use your direct comparison, can you imagine what the data would look like if the US economy actually pivoted to a war footing with the existential urgency akin to that during WWII (which was vastly more expensive than WWI even)?

It's not obvious that it would dramatically change, because the US already maintains an enormous standing army, and much of the other expenditures are in the nature of assistance for low income people, which would be displaced by those people getting drafted into the war, or obviated because they're meant to offset e.g. high rents, which would decline with local demand if 10% of the population left the continent to go fight in a foreign land.
I think peace could have been bought at the cost of neutrality, so sovereignty yes.

It's possible of course, but it's also speculative, and the window for that option is long since closed -- once Putin grabbed the Crimea and then the LNR/DNR, the "neutrality" bid fell from the table.

In any case he's been quite consistent about maintaining whatever regions he's currently occupying (and likely then some, according to the most recent formulations).

So if we're to buy peace now by just giving him what he wants -- that (or some approximation thereof) is what he'll be demanding. In any case it seems extremely unlikely he'd accept a neutrality-only bid by this point.
rather than displace mainstream os's what id rather have is some way to easily switch os depending on my task, gaming? windows, anything else? linux (for now), and have that run directly on the hardware with little interference... like a meta task switcher os.

someone is going to come on here and tell me we already have this (i hope).

ive been out of computing for so long i dont know if this reliably exists, but back in the day this is what i would have wished for.
Cross-sectional analysis 2020-22: US state restrictions and excess Covid deaths
You know this because you've done extensive research, surveying businesses around the stadium to find out what their books look like on days where there are sporting events and on days where there aren't?

Or are you just basing it on the fact that traffic is thicker to and from the stadium on days where there are sporting events?
Why didn't a big company like Snapchat not have certificate pinning? Something is amiss here!?
I stopped using it a few years ago, but IMO it was definitely being dumbed down and not respecting users any more. Things like upgrades reseting settings that I went out of the way to change - Apple has a "we know better than you" attitude that's frustrating to work around.
I have heard people describe the experience of "It just sounds like noise, but eventually it just clicks and it is the most amazing thing you have ever heard".

Side note, unrelated: Trout Mask Replica's album artwork features the head of a European Carp and that has always really bugged me. Not even the same order of fishes (cypriniforms vs. salmoniforms).
I wouldn't call it arrogance, tbh. After all, the whole point of the SI units is that there shouldn't be any field-specific units anymore.
If any of these miscreants were looking for a new job I bet the place you work would be getting in line to put them through an interview loop.
Two NICs and a giant passive heatsink (or huge slow/quiet fan) would make this a great router material.
I'm not sure how you're defining "mathematical." The definition really changes who is on the list. Schoenberg and the 12 tone crowd had some of the most obvious applications of math, but composers of the Baroque era treated music a lot more like a logic puzzle than anything the 20th century composers came close to. For example, I encourage you to do some research into canons and how they are written. That is what I meant by "mathematical," rather the idea of doing arithmetic on notes (which I happen to think is a crude excuse for creativity).
Your work does this. This is incredibly common on basically every corporate device issued today.

The real issue is the NUX, which doesn't look like it made the data collection clear to users.
My experience mirrors yours. This is pretty closely related to the "visual programming" discussions we had on HN the other day.

Another observation: If you do not have competent engineering representation in owning business units, no amount of rearchitecturing will save you. On the other hand, if you do manage to have decent engineers in each owning team while maintaning quality of your core/platform and don't wreck incentives and empowerment, things have a larger tendency to sort themselves out.

It's when you shuffle your actual insightful engineers into middle/upper management and put helpless "Senior Engineer"s in charge of entire projects with a clueless PM or burnt-out-and-checked-out ex-dev in the middle that things go south.
Books are not at all special. Only a very small fraction of writings from antiquity are still available to us. Some exist only as lumps of carbon in the Herculaneum papyri and haven't been seen by humans in a thousand years.

Overall, most books ever printed have been destroyed. It's just that we've printed a lot of them. It's mostly a survivorship and recency bias.

We're barely into our first century of producing digital artifacts. Some things have been lost, of course, but we do still have a lot of information about the very earliest machines. We still have some of the first programs, some of the first machines are still running today.

We might be able to preserve things in the very long term if we can convince ourselves it's worth the effort, but more than likely the far future will have lost as much from our time as we have from antiquity.
Any app capable of installing a TLS CA is capable of writing to known_hosts (or authorized_keys, while we're at it).
This is because mobile is where all the money is. All the vendors have neglected their desktop SDKs to such a degree that Flutter is now in many ways the best desktop UI stack.

Even Apple has sorely neglected their desktop APIs. Play around with SwiftUI on the Mac for more than a few hours and this will become glaringly apparent.
It's ridiculous that you would claim this isn't a problem.

I'm typing this on a 12 year old MacBook Pro running Debian whose hardware perfectly fine, but hasn't been supported by Apple in years.

FWIW, Debian supports it fine, though NVidia recently dropped support for the GPU in their Linux drivers.

I'm going to miss it when it dies, too. Plastic Lenovos just can't compare.
Forgive my naïvety, but couldn’t X and CDE be ported over?
In college I held a contest with my friends "The worst band in the world". It was always a conversation starter at gatherings where we could debate the merits of our picks.

We had a few people who really hardcore defended Captain Beefheart. There was never any consensus on the worst (the goal was of course fun conversation not consensus). But if I may provide my own contemporary pick: Blood on the Dancefloor is the worst band in the world. And not just because of the music.
i've done the rant many times before [1] but frankly rpi has almost never made sense. there were always things like the ECS Liva/Liva X for $100-125 that were fully-featured, for roughly the same price as a rpi once you consider all the shit you'll need to get that $45 computer booted up. The Liva (and similar booksizes/net-tops, and similar things like AM1 platform from AMD) benefited hugely from using standard drivers and standard BIOS versus a massive amount of early ARM jank (the early RPi days a lot of things were actually soft-float, let alone niceties like UEFI!).

the best argument for rpi has always been the combination of GPIO and linux. But that's a double-edged sword too, because linux isn't really very good at hard-realtime. And you can always just get a Bus Pirate or similar tool for doing just plain GPIO. And nowadays the ESP32 has basically completely displaced it for a lot of those sorts of "GPIO glue" roles.

If you didn't need that, like if you just wanted a low-power fileserver or HTPC... the x86 stuff was better, because it actually worked reliably, at roughly the same price. Like literally just go buy an off-lease mini-tower or USFF mini-pc for $10 from a surplus store, even.

This goes doubly when you consider all the problems with the early rpi. Like basically it uses USB 2.0 (unidirectional 500mbps) as a system bus... but it also dropped USB packets under load due to bugs in the firmware[0], that nobody outside the Pi foundation could address because Broadcom didn't release the documentation for like 5 years.

>>Basic NAT (as defined in RFC 2663) performs just the IP address translation (one inside host to one IP address in the NAT pool). The moment the inside host starts a session through the NAT, it becomes fully exposed to the outside world.

This is a lie. A "session through the NAT" does not really expose the host to the outside world, because in 99% of the cases this is a TCP session, and the NAT machine would drop all "out of order" packets.

>Most modern attacks start from a compromised internal host (e.g., from phishing), or through stolen credentials via a remote access method.

Your statement is a perfect example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias.

Most modern attacks start from an internal host exactly because NAT makes external attacks infeasible for the majority of scenarios.

>Set your firewall to default deny, then add a rule for allow outgoing connections, followed by only allow incoming connections if they are replies.

What about I don't do it, and the system is still _automatically_ secure, because NAT does exactly that while being _required_ for the system to work.

>See Figure A-5

LOL. What about I don't see any figures, and the system still works and is secure for the 99% of the cases.
Snapchat do certificate pinning for it's main API domain. I am not exactly sure why analytics domain are different and why not have certificate pinning. (I thought analytics go through the same API domain, but it must be wrong then).
Our apps would be deplatformed on Android and iOS, and our businesses would be prosecuted by the DoJ and FBI.

It's against the Twitter terms of service. secondly, "The Federal Election Campaign Act prohibits fraudulent misrepresentation of federal candidates or political parties, but the law, written in 1971, is ambiguous when it comes to modern technologies such as artificial intelligence."

Yeah thats fair and I concur, but gp is right.

However and unfortunately I feel your last statement is spot tf on! Our only hope I guess is that they have incurred enough tech debt to be unable to enshitify themselves.

For those not in the know apple is an og hacker company, their first product was literally a blue box! Why this matters and gp is correct and why linux peeps gets in a tivvy and what stephenson was getting at with the batmobile analogy is that traditionally if hackers built something consumer facing they couldn’t help themselves but to bake in the easter eggs.
So if a company is about to close an underperforming store and the employees get wind of it, all they have to do is sign union cards and the company has to keep the store open forever?
My work puts a big banner on the login screen that says up front that they can and will record and monitor everything on this machine. And IMO that's fine, because it's their machine. If they wanted to do that to my machine it would be a problem.
Also conveniently, when prices are partly decided by market factors the fundamental right to a resource may be impacted. If we really think everyone should be guaranteed access to water, electricity, housing, food, etc those resources would just be available and wouldn't require the market abstraction of money.
This is not unexpected, but I think he's reaching bit too far to use it on presidential nominee. It could very well kick off strict AI regulation whether Harris is elected or not, which would be amusing to see given he's trying to get the Tesla shareholders to invest in his very own xAI. AOC's deepfake AI porn tri-partisan bill had no trouble passing the senate.
>But most of 2024's network security problems originate from the devices behind your firewall getting exploited through their on requests, not some random shit connecting from the outside.

That is Survivor Bias at its best.

The originate _inside_ because NAT effectively blocks all _external_ requests.
Can't wait to have a Compute Module(CM) that's compatible with pi-cluster etc.
As someone else who regularly uses 8.93 bit words for computations, I understand completely.
> Because with per-corporation unions, your employees joining makes you less competitive. But with sectoral systems it doesn't because your competitors all have to join too.

Doesn't this have the same problem, but now for your whole country? That industry in your country becomes less competitive against the same industry in another country.
AWS has a similar post for Cloud 9. I get the sense both services may be on their way out [https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/how-to-migrate-from-aws-...].

React is also considerably slower than svelte in this benchmark in selecting, clearing, adding and creating rows and also uses a lot more memory.

For a lot of apps React is fast enough but you're definitely starting at a non-negligible performance disadvantage compared to faster frameworks.
I personally a prefer a stricter syntax with less redundancy. With a sufficiently fast and accurate compiler, things like indentation issues can be resolved very quickly when there is a copy/paste issue.
You know, there is a technical definition of a recession, and even if someone were to memorize that definition, they’d have to understand some concepts to really know what it means. At least 90% of American adults can do this.

But nobody that is taking a survey is going to ensure that every respondent understands the concepts before asking their questions.

So this is more like 3 in 5 Americans feel like we’re in a recession according to their own feelings of what a recession is supposed to look and feel like. And you know what - if you aren’t upper middle class or above, it probably does feel really shitty right now.
Is there something like Jupiter for C/C++
Is there something like Jupyter for C++? Specifically, something that is a long lived process, that keeps its long lived state over this time, and allows me to give it some code, have it JIT compiled, and executed.

Use case: imagine large files in disk and I want to read and parse into memory (imagine this step will take a long time, say tens of minutes), compute some metrics, and generate a plot, but I'm not sure what metrics I want yet, and I would need to iterate on it. Without Jupyter I'm going to have to read and parse the files every time I want to test what some metrics look like. With Jupyter I don't need to read and parse each time, the data is already in memory.
We can't relax. Solving problems on tight deadlines means that we are inherently paranoid about doomsday scenario. But at the same time, no need to be overly pessimistic :)
Legitimate operations don't have to leak anything to the government or much to intermediaries either. I would expect anything I form to be indiscernible.

For civil liability reasons alone I would form everything the same way.
Big tech and telecommunications companies are effectively miniature arms of the U.S. government at this point.

As seen by the "Protect America Act" of 2007[0], the government will retroactively cover their own ass and your companies' ass if deemed important enough to the intelligence apparatus. There isn't a chance in hell that Meta would be brought criminal charges for wiretapping.

No? That's not what the person you're replying to said, nor what they meant, nor is it a logical implication of what they said.
By "the Germans" I don't mean modern-day Germans, I mean the people of the era. And indeed, nobody should get a pass for the atrocities of war, the winners included. But no, we should not "forget it all", that's the worst possible thing you could do. The war happened, it was terrible, its consequences reverberate to this day, and we should all remember how it happened and why so that we can attempt to avoid having it happen again.

Yeah, I've seen things spelled this way before in barbershop arrangements. Usually because it's less accidentals. I think it makes sense from a "what notes should I play" perspective, but seeing these chords spelled in a weird way gives you insight into how some composers actually think, and all that REALLY matters is what the music sounds like.
