Probably not a lot. Finance is ridiculously well regulated. You can't just drop tables or whatever; there's ledgers for everything and such. Plus law enforcement & anti-corruption has its hands in lots of stuff.

If the President of the US wanted to be evil, the Illuminati would take actions to make sure none of his plans happen. That's a joke, but the credit cards are somewhat like that. The system is designed to be very chaos resistant.

If someone wanted to be evil, I'd say try something that isn't bank or credit card related. Crypto used to be the thing, but it's no longer the wild west. I'd say something acts like a bank but isn't a bank is more dangerous. Something like construction companies. They have the power to basically give loans and move around lots of money but aren't held back by regulations.

Working with 9front has showed me that open source hardware mostly isn't. You're at the mercy of the hardware manufacturer who's only commitment to open source is a Linux kernel full of drivers you can't understand because there's no hardware manual. That or you have to be a corporate partner with licensees and NDA's which is a massive wall for little projects and individuals. This effects EVERY alternative OS to Linux.

It's disheartening as it makes Linux into an unwitting tyrant as you have no choice but to use Linux or find another SoC that provides docs.

My fake job in Y2K preparedness
The reddit threads on this subject were interesting, with hundreds of comments in r/programming and r/linux all bemoaning the lack of Rust adoption in the kernel and the supposed mistreatment of the Rust maintainers.

Are these people just users with a strong opinion about what language their kernel uses? If they're Rust devs and reflective of how popular Rust is in general, where are all of the killer apps written in Rust? Why do Rust programmers seem to mostly just produce partial, feature-incomplete rewrites of Unix utilities?
This is one of the biggest advantages of the newer wave of more expressively typed languages like Rust and Swift.

They remove a lot of ambiguity in how something should be held.

Is this data type or method thread safe? Well I don’t need to go look up the docs only to find it’s not mentioned anywhere but in some community discussion. The compiler tells me.

Reviewing code? I don’t need to verify every use of a pointer is safe because the code tells me itself at that exact local point.

This isn’t unique to the Linux kernel. This is every codebase that doesn’t use a memory safe language.

With memory safe languages you can focus so much more on the implementation of your business logic than making sure all your codebases invariants are in your head at a given time.

Yes. I think this is one that is non-euphemistically "differently abled".

Given a choice, I would trade the postcard recall ability for the ability to multi-dimensionally map concepts and then "see" the gaps, as if a periodic table missing some elements, so you know what key areas need working on even though (because) they aren't in evidence.
I was an actual libertarian once upon a time. The more I read about the actual function of government, structure, and just “civilization,” the less I was able to hold on to my libertarian values.

> What are the bad things about this job?

A softer way to word this:

"What are some of the biggest challenges for this role?"

It won't get into all the dirt, but should give you some insight into things that aren't great.
Mentoring one-on-one (and only one) is not necessarily the same as managing and having a manager. You can change the name of the role but the associated task don't disappear.

It's like saying "We need to save money, we don't need to have a project manager." Removing the role doesn't eliminate the need for the tasks of that role. That is, someone(s) end up doing proj mgr stuff.

Finally, a team of managers of one likely means few of them are good (not even great) at managing. How is that a good thing for the mentees? How is adding responsiblity to so many mentors a win?
When was the last time the "conservative" wing of US politics truly cared about "small government"?

IIRC performance got considerably better when they moved to a JVM-based thing, but yeah it was always pretty slow. It doesn't help that they sort of advertised it for non-programmers, meaning that there wasn't exactly hyper-optimized code being written to begin with.

I one time worked for a company that had a import on the top that called every single SQL query as part of the template, meaning that there was about ~20 SQL queries running sequentially on every page load. I think just using the built-in caching for it improved performance by an order of magnitude by simply utilizing the built-in caching.

I think what killed Coldfusion was really the price. PHP was free, open source, faster, and also had easy templates integrated into the language. Why pay an absurd license fee for a slow language when you can get something comparable for free?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux excludes btrfs support in its distribution because Red Hat does not believe btrfs to be stable enough to be worth considering. That decision trickles down to recompilation projects that pretty much amount to "RHEL, but without having to pay for it".
AnandTech was one of the websites that helped me as a child. I found it around 2002, and the clear-headed manner in which it discussed chip fabrication, function, lithography and the associated engineering and scientific foundations of them - as well as general concepts of bios, motherboard, chipsets, slots, bandwidth etc - helped foster a curiosity and familiarity with electronic hardware that has served me well for my whole life.

It helped me dream larger than my surroundings; which in turn helped me get out of an unstable home, poverty, and a dead-end town. I was sad when [H]ardOCP went down, but this hits different.

I ended up doing cf almost by accident for quite a while (like, 8 years) and was there as it went through the adobe -> railo transition.

Coldfusion had a bad rep but it was actually a pretty good tool to work with. Railo made it a million times better in every way - the performance was solid and the environment was full featured enough to let you focus on the code.

The original adobe (macromedia, right?) version was a mess. There were no functions but you could import modules. Massive caveat that those modules were allowed to mutate state outside of themselves so people would import them to, for example, run some db queries and set some variables in the calling code with the results. You can imagine the absolute unmaintainable mess that ensued.

I agree. So why did you bring it up and indirectly suggest their project is a waste of time over a name? I didn't see anyone say "don't like it, contribute".

I also didn't like that line of thinking for the undertone that working on an educational guide is a waste. A sadly growing sentiment as more people shift to a "hustle culture" and forget the joys of solving problems in lieu of making products.

Civil disobedience is something an individual can can do. That's something very different to this situation.
The company isn't a person, the CEO could do civil disobedience and order that the company doesn't comply. But that'd be the same as exiting the market, as the government will be forced to take action anyway. And then they'd likely go to jail, achieving nothing.

You can't really do civil disobedience while everyone is looking at you, the way to do that is in secret.

In his interview to Bloomberg Technology after the latest earnings call, Jensen Huang said Blackwell's reported struggles were an yield issue, not a design issue. From TFA, it sounds like the yield issue is caused by the design, so maybe that was a distinction without a difference...

Genuine question: What is stopping some small percent of drivers from installing cameras and using ML to identify cars driving dangerously (e.g. speeding, running reds, changing multiple lanes at once, etc.), and when their license plate is identifiable, finding and informing their insurance company?

If even a small subset of users did this, and insurers did something with this information, it would substantially disincentivize driving like a complete maniac.

Are insurers unable to use this information? Are they afraid of the backlash from being the first to accept this information? Is there some legal reason this isn't doable?

> And I think that's partially down to the fact that image generators are themselves, by their existence, low-effort easy-to-use tools to create images

Is the same not true of point-and-shoot photography? Or crayons? There's a near-endless supply of low-effort content due to tools designed to be easy-to-use. Anecdotally I still see more "crappy photographs" (many of which my own) than "crappy AI art".

With both you can get deeper into the details, making choices about ControlNets, LoRAs, inpainting, etc.

> [...] people who don't want to learn those skills, and like... unskilled artisans don't make good things. Sorry not sorry. If you lack the interest in the subject to learn the skills of how to make a thing [...]

I probably wouldn't make claims about ML tools "democratizing art", but at the same time I feel this is too reductive in the opposite direction.

There are reasons why working-class people are vastly under-represented in arts. I think limited ability to dedicate a huge chunk of time to a creative pursuit is a largely overlooked reason, not just lack of interest.

I think it's also fine to want to, say, design a game without hand-painting all the normal maps - instead generating them with ML tools based on your textures. Someone not specializing to have fine-level technical skills in all relevant areas doesn't imply lack of creativity/interest at a broader scale.

> I think it's important to note that the tools themselves are largely just... not really going to fit into a creative's workflow who has the skills already

I'd claim lot of ML tools, like generative fill built into various image editors, already do even for those who aren't going out of their way to experiment with ML.

Sometimes it's useful to work at the higher level allowed by automation, and sometimes it's useful to have fine-grained creative control. These aren't mutually exclusive - the approaches can/should be mixed where appropriate. I've had good success with sketching out an initial block-color image, then iteratively diffusing and tweaking it.

Out of curiosity since I don't follow Rust.

What always bugged me about WordPress is that default installation which has only 7 tables uses 3 different column naming conventions (table.ID, table.table_id, table.table_ID) plus sometimes it uses full table prefix and sometimes shortened prefix. Are you not bothered by it? This is the first thing new user sees. This was years ago I had to check again as I'm not using it and default installation is now 12 tables but the random column naming is still there.
I would be upset. Wordpress is such a terrible platform to develop on, footguns and limitations in every implemented magic function. why would you even open the door to Wordpress with so many better options?

People who drive like complete maniacs aren't doing so rationally. It's called "road rage" not "road reason."

It's really the job of police forces to act on maniac drivers. And they stopped doing so in 2020 for the same reason.
I appears that this is using HttpListener to implement the HTTP protocol:

https://github.com/sisk-http/core/blob/main/src/Http/HttpSer...

HttpListener, while not deprecated, is frozen and not taking new features. For example, it does not support HTTP 2. It might not be as high performance as Kestrel (the default web server in ASP.NET Core).

https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/63941#issuecomment-...

So the authors of the framework might want to consider longer term whether layering onto of Kestrel or some other HTTP server implementation may make more sense.
