Sharing data about wages, I think, is not wage-fixing. Agreeing not to go higher than a particular wage is. What got RealPage into trouble was the fact that, in order to use the system, you HAD to use their algorithm for selecting rental prices. You entered into a legal agreement not to compete on the prices that RealPage provided.
Conjecture: control over tlds should be determined by capture the flag. Whenever an organization running a registry achieves a level of incompetence whereby its tld is captured, the tld becomes owned by the attacker.

Sure there are problems with this conjecture, like what if the attacker is just as incompetent (it just gets captured again), or "bad actor" etc. A concept similar to capture the flag might provide for evolving better approaches toward security than the traditional legal and financial methods of organizational capture the flag.

Performance today is a very different story :)

With that said, exceptions are still very expensive and cost about 6-7us in .NET 8 and 3-4us in upcoming .NET 9. The cost will grow if the catch/catch with filter/multiple finally blocks are present and need to be executed up the call stack.

When it comes to I/O, the cost of "file no found" exception will be minuscule comparing to reaching to OS I/O stack. Luckily, many codebases today adopt one of the community packages to expose potentially failing operations with Result<T, E> instead. For some reason, the highest adoption is in the line-of-business code. Lower-level codebases often just do just Try* or T? patterns instead.

Your assumption is that it was stopped at a red light. What if if slams the brakes on in the middle of the road due to a mylar balloon, etc? Does it sense a vehicle approaching quickly and sound the horn to hopefully alert the driver to stop, and pull forward from the stop line into the crosswalk if it's clear to provide extra braking distance?
Yes, there was but the magnets can break and I believe getting them removed is hard.
That's a pretty basic service

I guess one way to monetize it would be to sell integrations with enterprise products (preferably only the ones which are already not free).

You could well make the integrations open source as well, just with a different license (I'd personally require payments only for businesses with more than x revenue).
You can't. It's meaningless. If the government tells you you have rights, but there's no practical way to claim those rights, then you have no rights and the government is lying in your face.

I have always wondered if/when Google will start using their streetview data to improve mapping. They could (in theory) generate directions like "turn left after the green building" and find speed limits, road surface, width, and potentially even bus routes and stuff like that. They don't seem to, though. The routes they generate are always incredibly naive when it comes to actual road type, like "let's go up this single track road with a 20% gradient to save 2 minutes".

Curious whether you think this is more than just improving mapping/routing related stuff, though.
It seems that subtlety doesn't cut through the 'akshually' layer. The point I was trying to make is that regardless of what the company files publicly, employees will have more relevant information than an external observer such as us. There may be internal memos announcing upcoming changes in working conditions or benefits, chatter about SLT, chatter about acquisitions, layoffs, etc...

So, the argument that we can better figure out if the strike is worth it or not is bullshit.
The statistic, just like the other ones, doesn't tell you whether these firings were reasonable or not.
>> > but what was relased under the GPL remains available under the GPL.

perhaps, in line with what you are saying, t would be better to express this as;

"but what was obtained under the GPL remains obtained under the GPL."

In other words, at a moment in time, a user can request the source of the (GPL) product they are using. They have rights and obligations for that code as it exists then.

It does not give them a right to any later versions of that code. And it does not allow the author to retroactively "deny" the rights they have.

One of the rights they have is to publish that code. (more accurately they can publish something based on the code, and hence by extension pass on the code to more users.)

Nothing says the original author as to keep the GPL version in any kind of public place. And the original author (assuming he has 100% copyright) can of course build on that code himself, and release the new code (or indeed the same code) under a different license.

My intuition tells me that there are quite a lot of dangerous cars on the roads in states where it's a free-for-all, so I'd be interested in the research you're referring to.

If it's just an annual emissions test (as I assume many are, but I'm not well informed), then there's unlikely to be any significant prevention of mechanical failure on the road.
With Haier, specifically, I certainly it were a lot easier to tell what they build in Kentucky versus what they ship from China. For now you can still seem to count on the GE Profile series, if you are rich enough, but the mid-grade stuff is slippery, GE badge or not. (Some of the non-GE badges are coming from Kentucky, too, but like I said, I, at least, don't know how to figure it out without begging any friends that work at Haier to give me specific model numbers to look for in stores.)

Bell's theorem is a theorem. If hypothesis applies conclusion must follow. That's math. Everything is fine with it (They are a reformulation of "Bonferroni inequalities" or "Boole's_inequality" by the way).

You've got to reframe the problem so that Bell's theorem doesn't apply. When you build your theory, if you manage to define what a measurement is, so that you don't satisfy the hypothesis of the Bell's theorem, you get to avoid having to have its conclusions.

One of Bell's theorem implied hypothesis is that measurements/observations are probabilities, so by defining measurement instead as a conditional probability, you get to avoid being subjected to Bell's inequalities.

It's inductive reasoning, you don't get truth you only get self consistency, and a model that looks much nicer than QM.

Why make this about Google Code? It reads a little like Main Character Syndrome.

Github beat basically every Code hosting platform out there. Probably dusins of Github-like startups tried and failed because Github did so well.

So whether Google Code "wanted to win" or not doesn't really take away anything from the posts argument that Github won due to timing and taste.
Garmin has rolled out a sleep mode feature that makes the AMOLED watch face sparsely populated, and you can set the brightness to the lowest setting for sleep mode.

Compared to my watch set to the lowest sleep mode brightness, the brightness in this image is not set to the lowest level (probably for the purposes of showing the sleep mode watch face features), but this gives you some idea:

This is also another winning point of the framework: Frameworks save you time, and allow you to write less code. By writing less code, it is much easier to understand what your program is doing, and change it as requirements change.

When you work without a framework, you invent your own framework. It won't be as well thought through - guaranteed. When changes come in, the sheer amount of code means mistakes will be made and your code will slowly turn into spaghetti. If this is a custom FFMPeg conversion service - totally worth it. If it's CRUD, like how 90% of apps are CRUD, then it's probably a mistake.

As I told another programmer, using a framework doesn't mean you are a "semi-skilled" programmer (what elitism). It means you know you aren't special, you aren't smarter than other programmers, you know your own limitations, and know that using a framework other people understand (and keeping the amount of code to a minimum) is the best for your company and the project.
Thanks! Happy you liked it!

I can confirm the bug - thanks for the heads-up! We recently did a few iterations on that part, and it looks like something slipped through the cracks...

> Our computer security analogies are modeled around securing a home from burglars

Well, no home is burglar-proof either. Just like with computer security, we define , often just implicitly, a threat model and then we decide which kind of security measures we use to protect our homes. But a determined burglar could still find a way in. And here we get to a classic security consideration: if the effort required to break your security is greater than the benefit obtained from doing so, you're adequately protected from most threats.

CAA records are not addressed to end users, or to browsers or whatever - they are addressed to the Certificate Authority, hence their name.

The CAA record essentially says "I, the owner of this DNS name, hereby instruct you, the Certificate Authorities to only issue certificates for this name if they obey these rules"

It is valid, and perhaps even a good idea in some circumstances, to set the CAA record for a name you control to deny all issuance, and only update it to allow your preferred CA for a few minutes once a month while actively seeking new certificates for any which are close to expiring, then put it back to deny-all once the certificates were issued.

Using CAA allows Meta, for example, to insist only Digicert may issue for their famous domain name. Meta has a side deal with Digicert, which says when they get an order for whatever.facebook.com they call Meta's IT security regardless of whether the automation says that's all good and it can proceed, because (under the terms of that deal) Meta is specifically paying for this extra step so that there aren't any security "mistakes".

In fact Meta used to have the side deal but not the CAA record, and one day a contractor - not realising they're supposed to seek permission from above - just asked Let's Encrypt for a cert for this test site they were building and of course Let's Encrypt isn't subject to Digicert's agreement with Meta so they issued based on the contractor's control over this test site. Cue red faces for the appropriate people at Meta. When they were done being angry and confused they added the CAA record.

[Edited: Fix a place where I wrote Facebook but meant Meta]
Three answers to that:

- if it's free software you use locally (or SaaS you know you can self host), you should be able to keep using it even if the business model changes (which can happen in the proprietary world, see Adobe for a spectacular example). If the software is popular enough, there's some chance the thing will be forked and maintained by somebody else. Of course, no guarantees on this. I strongly prefer local software for this reason.

- you should definitely look at the business model of whoever builds your software. If it burns investor money or runs on ads, it's not good, for the reasons you mentioned.

- paid software is not a guarantee against your concerns. I already mentioned Adobe, windows is also full of ads and spying nowadays. VMWare and Confluence also have fucked their customers quite hard on pricing recently. Actually, I quite strongly distrust proprietary software seeing how common these things seem to happen in the proprietary world and there's no "someone is going to fork it" backup plan.

MacOS isn't without issues neither. It forces you to login for software upgrades and to access the app store (that's tracking in my book), and it's game over when Apple stops supporting your hardware. Its proprietary nature pretty much guarantees nobody will take over. Perfectly good hardware becomes insecure or waste unless its owner decides to replace the OS with Linux. Which isn't possible on iPads and iPhone.

On my end, I haven't had bad surprises so far. Ubuntu has been a bit worrying but I've been using something else for years now. The biggest concern for me today is Firefox. The strictly open source nature of the repositories from which I install Firefox is a first "safeguard".

My software is largely sponsored by companies selling support, they have an incentive to make sure it keeps working. It is so good that I can install the latests versions on 15-20 year old hardware.
Yes it does. I even need to disable my iGPU that my Ryzen has so it does keep downloading the driver.

I haven't been specifically in a 7-day situation, but was at an early stage startup where the founder/CEO expected us to work Sundays. I think this was intended to be a temporary thing due to the company not having found product-market fit. But the company never produced a product that had any traction, and folded.

In retrospect, the company made a lot of choices about how we worked that were rather inefficient and arguably we would have moved faster by abandoning some bad practices. These included:

- Diluted ownership meant that too many people were involved in each discussion. This included backend engineers being in meetings on relatively aesthetic design considerations (e.g. color schemes, rounded vs angular graphical forms).

- The founders wanted the team to have an engineering thought-leadership brand and position, and a non-trivial amount of attention was paid to separating out libraries which could be open-sourced and polished.

- Meanwhile, the code for our specific product was quite tangled. We worked in clojure, and did a terrible job creating clear definitions, so to understand what keys should be in some map received by a function, one would typically need to read the full pathway that created it. Naturally, this made it quite challenging to make rapid changes.

- And because we were always trying to hack together new functionality as quickly as possible, we rarely had the time to go back and rewrite a cleaner version of anything.

- Perhaps most surprisingly, a large portion of the work was done in pair programming.

So we worked more hours than we should have but the way we worked as inefficient, and not even consistently directed at solving the problems the company needed to solve to succeed. I might be over-indexing, but I now treat long hours demanded of engineers as an indicator that something else in the organization is probably broken, desperate, or ill-considered.

Is big tech non-diverse? It seems to have a higher non-white population than the US itself according the numbers I've been able to find. If we count contractors and off-shore, it will become even less white. I'd bet tech has a higher proportion of LGBT+ people as well (without looking at numbers, admittedly, but I'd be surprised if I was wrong). Gender diversity is an issue; but not for lack of trying. Cis women are probably 5% of the resumes I see.
It did not get changed.

Windows Powershell is up until 5.1 because it runs ONLY on Windows.

Powershell 6 was named Powershell Core due to being built with .NET Core. It was not fully compatible with 5.1 and lacked some functions based on the WinApi.

PowerShell 7 is still built on .NET Core, but has a much better compatibility with 5.1. They dropped Core because nobody cared and it's shorter and works equally well on all platforms.

So Powershell is the v7 and Windows Powershell is the old 5.1. Nowhere is that confusing.

The author doesn't like being blasted by all of the ads on Fandom pages, but specifically says that he doesn't use an ad blocker. He explains that he has empathy for developers who apparently must blast their userbase with advertisements as well as regular ad-blockless users who suffer through the unwanted ads. What lunacy! It's astounding to me how often these bloggers will embrace and defend enshittification

Then again, I noticed thst my own ad blocker stopped over 40 elements from being loaded on his article, so I can't be surprised
This sounds more like "steam does amazing marketing, I'm not willing to do it myself, but I don't want to pay 30%".

You are totally allowed to release a website and allow purchase and download of your game through that only. People can still add the game to steam (but no cloud saves!).

You cannot do that on iOS, Sony, Microsoft (xbox) and Nintendo, you are required to pay them to reach those customers.

Now, yes as a customer I prefer if your game is on steam because it gives me some guarantees: no virus, often cloud saves integration, reviews to understand the type and quality of game before purchase. These are things you don't get even if the game was added to steam with "add a non steam game".
One of the biggest benefits of a (good) TUI (or GUI) is that it guides someone who doesn't already know exactly what they want to do towards the most relevant information and the most common actions. Once you already know these things, it is usually faster and more powerful to work with code instead. With this TUI, someone who doesn't know very much about the internals of a binary gets that information presented them in a way that helps them learn the parts of the file, and their relations and relevance.

It is also easier for many people to remember how to navigate a GUI/TUI to achieve a task than to use the CLI, likely because it makes use of the parts of our brain for navigating space. This often makes them easier to use for tasks that you only do occasionally (at least until you learn how to take good notes, manage snippets, and work with your shell history).

So why a TUI instead of a GUI? Probably mostly for aesthetic and comfort reasons than for utility reasons - but I prefer staying in the terminal if possible, as I have a lot of control over its appearance and behavior, and TUIs generally have much better keyboard support than GUIs.

I have restored a few hundreds LTO-1 and 2 tapes using an LTO-3 drive a few years ago. If you keep the drives around and run Linux (which supports obsolete hardware better), keeping LTO tapes 10, 15, 20 years is not a problem at all.

A few weeks ago I wrote for a customer a restore utility for LTO-4/5/6 made with a now-deceased archival system from a deceased software company. Most of these tapes are up to 16 years old, have been kept in ordinary office cupboards, and work perfectly fine.

But you're right that archival isn't much about the media, but is a process. "Archive and forget" isn't the way.
Can that be said to be a result of the coup, though? The nationalization of copper mines was never reversed and the post-coup economy was pretty bad and unstable until the tail end when Pinochet was already on the way out.
It’s really disappointing to hear that a prominent brand with a positive reputation like boar’s head actually had serious hygiene issues. Articles I’ve read talk about the disgusting conditions in the plant, and I have to assume this is true across the entire company. There’s no way I’ll buy their products again, or eat at restaurants carrying their food (many advertise their sandwiches as using boars head). I wish restaurants were forced to reveal their supply chain.
I’ve never used it, but I’ve used the Starbucks app a bunch. Order on the app when I’m 5-10 mins away, and can just roll up and grab my food/drink, vs waiting in line, ordering/paying, then waiting for prep. Useful when you’re tight on time or just don’t feel like waiting. I assume the Taco Bell app is similar.
How sure are you that the incentives in place don't encourage inching toward this behavior as they begin to establish themselves?
