You actively lied about the person that was jailed to further a political agenda of suppressing free speech, protest, and democracy. That's not a mistake, that's malice. Your bad indeed.

Moreover, it's pretty clear that "heads must roll" is a euphemism used for people being punished or losing their job, and is almost always used in a non-violent context: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heads%20will%20ro...

There's no clear call to violence here. You are actively trying to justify tyranny.

I agree. But to be clear they didn’t kill them altogether. There are still their party apps that use a subscription to pay for the API.

The problem is that the best app on iOS, Apollo, had its developer chased away.

And really it was about communication and trust rather than an unwillingness to sell a paid app. He also expressed dismay over the short timeline to adapt his business since he already sold his customers paid versions of his app, so changing everything abruptly or forking the app to being something like “Apollo 2” would be screwing his own customers over.

But if Reddit had communicated the changes more clearly and had treated him better in general I think he would have kept the app. Instead Reddit basically burned the bridge and the dev didn’t need the bullshit anymore.
Although the author points out that there's been a "huge amount of writing" on the topic, the issue persists due to the myth of "I have an MBA, therefore I know better." MBA programs often instill in their graduates a misleading confidence in their management abilities, dare-I-say smug arrogance, which, in my experience, frequently leads to the implementation of cargo cult practices [1] with potentially disastrous results.

It requires configuring the installation before you boot from the USB stick.

I don’t think the point of this price hike is to profit off of non-rational customers. I think it’s likelier that they expect and maybe even hope that they’ll lose customers.

Let’s say a full 50% of Canva’s customers eventually churn because of this. They’re raising prices 3x, so they’d still make 1.5x their previous revenue. And they’d make even more profit, because their customer support costs have been cut roughly in half.

Meanwhile, the 50% of customers who dropped are now on the market for a new design tool — and a big hole has just opened in the low end of the market. So it’s good for competition, too!

Of course, if 80% of Canva’s customers leave, that’s bad for them. It’s a gamble! But in general, increasing prices by Nx in hopes that you’ll retain at least (1/N)x customers is a totally reasonable strategy.

As pretty much any professional trader or quant knows, there are degrees of efficiency. Ex-US markets are significantly less efficient than the US. Some US securities are less efficient than others. Certain instruments and exchanges are less efficient than others.

Markets become more efficient as a result of entities who make them so. It is possible to make a very good living by being one of these entities.

Walt Disney Was Right; Our Cities' Problems Are Our Biggest Problems
Honestly, it's really tough to pick it out from such a high level. You can also see countless companies that succeed in spite of the fact they're doing the wrong things, if you follow the business success playbooks.

Businesses and markets are really complex and it's difficult to look at individual businesses or decisions and make definitive claims. It takes a lot of time and research to pick apart the different factors that correlate most strongly with success.

Does that mean PG's observations are worthless? Not at all. Between today and those research papers being written, we need to make decisions based on observations that we or others make. Some of those things will be helpful, some will be harmful and some will be irrelevant. We do the best we can with the information we have access to.

You shouldn’t speak so confidently and condescendingly with so little experience.

Graphics programming, data science, anything involving handling user input and probably many more classes of software require ceremony and boilerplate to get going.

Vulkan famously takes 1000 lines of C++ boilerplate before you can draw a triangle.

Look into writing a X or Wayland compositor and you’ll see a mountain of boilerplate involved in handling input loops, displays, and communicating with the kernel.

It's one of many metrics that you can use to evaluate a business.

Note that's it's not "bad stuff", it's interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

I'm not sure anyone consider depreciation bad?

It's a metric that strips away things that can distort net income. It allows one to see what the core business produces.
The Rust community is no more zealous about naming conventions than any other language which has naming conventions. Perhaps you're arguing against the concept of naming conventions in general, but that's not a Rust thing, every language of the past 20 years suggests naming conventions if for no other reason than every language provides a standard library which needs to follow some sort of naming conventions itself. Turning off the warnings emitted by the Rust compiler takes two lines of code, either at the root of the crate or in the crate manifest.

That's incorrect.

The 3 primary colors of light are red green blue. The 3 secondary colors are yellow, cyan, and magenta.

The 3 primary colors used in printing are cyan, magenta, and yellow (why it's called CMYK where K is black).

Cyan is primary or secondary in both of the major color models.

Objvious difference: no one who's calling the shots, is really worried about climate change or CO2. It's about switching away from non-renewable fuels to enable future economic growth. But because for leftists, "economic growth" sounds like "making the rich even richer" and switching away from non-renewable fuels threatens their sources of inspiration - Putin's Russia and Arab petrostates - they found a way to phrase the same in a manner the leftists will like "hey the Earth is burning, we need to do something about it!".

SRLabs | Security Engineer | Berlin, DE | Full Time

Our security team is growing across offices, and we are looking for Security Engineers that are knowledgeable in blockchain security, application security, and vulnerabilities.

Here are a few things that you will be doing:

- Review systems to secure digital assets (e.g. cryptocurrency) from attackers

- Analyze and present results to team member and clients

- Work closely with security engineers and development teams in IT security projects

- Participate in hacking exercises, and conduct developer trainings

- Code review of blockchain implementations

Take a look at the job description: https://srlabs.breezy.hr/p/f569b4d83eb601-security-engineer-...

Take a look at our research blog: https://www.srlabs.de/blog
From the article,

- dynamically built identifiers is 100% correct, never do this. Breaks both text search and symbol search, results in complete garbage code. I had to deal with bugs in early versions of docker-compose because of this.

- same name for things across the stack? Shouldn't matter, just use find usages on `getAddressById`. Also easy way to bait yourself because database fields aren't 1:1 with front-end fields in anything but the simplest of CRUD webshit.

- translation example: the fundamental problem is using strings as keys when they should be symbols. Flat vs nested is irrelevant here because you should be using neither.

- react component example: As I mentioned in another comment, trivially managed with Find Usages.

Nothing in here strikes me as "routinely solves harder problems," it's just standard web dev.

I suffer the same problem. It is all about conserving mental energy.
The way I see it, each person has 2 different mental power gears. A high power one, that drains you and makes you excited at same time. You need this for planning and thinking big or learning about a new tool.
And a Low power gear that allows you to fix bugs and create a small feature for a known tool. We mostly use this low power gear in our daily life, in meetings, while driving or preparing coffee. The high power gear is used sparingly, when we can't sleep at night because of an idea, when we try to learn something new. it is exciting, but draining and painful at the same time. We want to do it again only after forgetting the pain.

I think proscratination is because we use a high power gear too frequently, we are exhausted mentally, and it is too painful. so we say let's do it later. But what if you have a small task that does not need a lot of thinking to do? something not painful? Well this is easy. I can do it. The trick is, it needs to be easy. you should not waste 1 hour to set up your environment to be able to start. it has to be easy.

So to advance on a project, I need to make sure I always have low energy, easy tasks ready for me when i am not in my mental capacity to use my high power thinking.

It is as if I am 2 persons. a developer and an intern. you need to make sure there is enough easy tasks for the intern to work on. You have to accept this about youreself

Dont waste days planning and creating issues for youreself. This is too draining. you need to write the big plan only and make sure you have few tasks ready. not all of them defined from day 0. do a big planning every 2 to 3 weeks (looks similar to a sprint)

It is all about conserving your mental energy
> “investing in people” and “hiring the best talent” is as expensive as it is naive.

All things in moderation. I've seen most of the spectrum at this point of practices.

Let's look at the opposite end. Hiring 'cogs'. Every time I've seen this attitude, the result Conway's law being expressed in the business; rube-goldberg type business processes and software that often require 'lots of bodies' but doesn't give optimal results. Even -worse- is when an org has 'cogs' in higher echelons. [0]

TBH the most 'productive' places I worked at was one where 'the smartest person in the room' depended on the specific topic.

It would seem insane to worry about hiring people "too smart", but when the first lesson in 48 Laws of Power is "never outshine the master" I'm not entirely surprised.

In other countries, maybe, but what we’re experiencing in the US seems very much based upon “lie” based media consumption.

Right now we have political candidates who will cheerfully, and without pause, tell lies and use any form of image manipulation to try and influence the vote - whether this be by traditional means or using AI - and the supporters not only lap it up but then spread this information far and wide.

It used to be that one needed proficiency in a tool to manipulate images, now access to a suitable AI LLM with broken or deliberately weakened safeguards is all that’s needed.

Fama's actual position was of course more nuanced than simply declaring that "markets are efficient".

His key EMH paper [1] notes that a generic formulation of the EMH, that security prices at any time "fully reflect" all available information is untestable: you need narrow down the information set and the pathways in which they are reflected in prices. The paper goes over various technical definitions of "efficiency" and concludes from reviewing the empirical literature (in 1970) that no evidence against certain formulations (weak, semi-strong) of the EMH has been found/published.

I don't think it's fair to characterize Fama as "chief cheerleader" of the EMH, but the papers are there for the readers to judge for themselves.

Larian Reflects on Baldur's Gate 3's Success, Future Plans, and Canceling DLC
I dunno, I keep reading the comment but I don’t see the satirical part. I can only interpret it as genuine.
Micro VMs are not lower overhead than Docker! Where are people getting this idea that micro VMs are faster? Micro VMs provide greater security isolation, resource isolation, and allow the guest to run a different kernel/OS than the host, but they aren’t “faster”. OCI runtimes can spawn a container orders of magnitude faster than Firecracker can spawn a VM, even though Firecracker is quite fast and light compared to traditional VM runners.

If you’re a hosting provider like Fly or AWS, micro VMs are an important primitive for those reasons. But if you’re a company building out a cluster to run your own apps, you are probably fine to share a Linux kernel version and reign in or relocate noisy neighbors. After all you will probably use the same base Docker container as a starting point for your similar, homogenous apps. If you’re sharing base layers, why not share the kernel at runtime?
