A significant percentage of the population will always gravitate towards the type of content produced by Alex Jones and Infowars.

Russia solved this by making "controlled" media outlets (and in recent years Telegram channels) for people who gravitate toward conspiracies and contrarian viewpoints without making them critical of the current Russian administration.

Obviously that is not what The Onion is planning to do but that is what this story reminded me of.
This is a leftover of the Paycheck Protection Program fraud and is definitely a corrupt practice.

I don't think this is true, popular tweeters, including Elon, often spread misinformation that functions as right-wing propaganda. Typically they just quote tweet someone else, add on nothing like "interesting..." or "wow..." and then post it. Of course, they're quote tweeting actual far-right pundits or sometimes neo-nazis. There're some arguments about plausible deniability - I don't know if someone like Elon is aware that some of the people he's quote tweeted are neo-nazis.

Serious answer: I don't know, but we shouldn't rush to judge until all the facts come out. All we know is they did a raid on the CEO home (not the business?) and the CEO claimed politics is involved.

I sincerely hope Congress performs their duty of oversight on the FBI well, so we can learn the truth of the matter. Overt politicization of federal law enforcement is a scary development.

The original headline says "says he's ready" rather than "prepared". The difference might seem small but it's significant.

"Prepared" implies that there's some work towards actually performing it. "Says he's ready" just means that the guy himself would do it, but doesn't suggest that there's anything in the works for it to happen.

The claim is the only news in the article. Everything else is background.

Regardless of whether it's a project run by a big company or a guy in a shed, a security-critical project not fixing critical vulns for 10 months is an important bit of information when judging whether you should use it.

It doesn't really matter whether it's someone's fault, or wrong, or whatever - what matters for the user is that using the project is likely unsafe. Sharing that information is a public service.
Most of these things are DTC operations and usually for supplements since they are relatively unregulated. Turning viewership into money is usually done through ads but these guys are fairly toxic to most advertisers.

Supplements are a good alternative for podcasters. They’re like merch is for musicians etc. but usually run as a recurring revenue stream.

Scratch the surface of any of these people and you’ll find they are like this: huberman, Bryan Johnson, they’ll all have a DTC business.

In America, ramen typically (or used to, at least) refers to cheap packages of noodles with extremely high amounts of salt. They are not healthy or considered anything other than “cheap” food. Hence the concept of "being ramen profitable."

This is separate from Japanese-style ramen, which you can also easily get at many restaurants.

I don't think a supposedly bad decision has to be answered with being snarky. A pull request, or a fork focused on reducing build times are actual net gains. From that poster's original name, seems like they went on and did just that, which is great I believe.

At the very least, giving the original developer the benefit of doubt, or assuming their decision made sense under the circumstances they were in at the time, is IMO a better start than just public criticism.

The reason we know Niels van der Poel's training in such detail is because he wrote a manifesto about it, "How to Skate a 10k", when he retired (after winning gold and setting the WR). He did his base aerobic phase primarily on bicycle, writing:

> My target developed during the summer of 2021 to reach 33h of cycling weekly. I would aim
to do three 7h bike rides and two 6h rides. If I would’ve been able to run, which I wasn’t due
to injury, I would have lowered the hours a little and settled for 25h weekly (or approx. 30h if
I would’ve combined running and cycling).

33h at 240 watts, about 28k calories/week!

It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in endurance sports, highly recommended: https://www.howtoskate.se/
> How about getting rid of these fucking agents.

This is what will likely happen with this law.

The prior system was that the person who hired the broker (the property owner) didn't care how high their fee was unless it caused them to lose a lease, since they weren't paying. So the incentive was for brokers to figure out how much money they could charge before they started blowing up deals for the person that hired them. If tenants would begrudgingly pay several thousand dollars to get the apartment, that is what they would charge. It was a race to the price ceiling since the payer wasn't the consumer. e.g. Owners don't care if one broker charges $2k, and one charges $3k, since as long as either can get a good tenant, they don't care.

Now, their pricing structure has to be directly in line with the property owners incentives. Property owners aren't going to swallow paying thousands of dollars to an agent for unlocking a door and processing an application (there are apps for both of those things that get it done for 10s of dollars). Now, it will be a race to the best price for the service. If one agent is asking $3k and the other is asking $2k, the owner will choose the one who is asking $2k, or more likely, save themselves $2k and do the work themselves.
Infowars is basically only a vehicle to sell supplements and other various crap.

Keycloak has been donated to CNCF in 2023. So it's not a RH / IBM product anymore.

I would even go as far as say that it never was; Red Hat had their own product called "Red Hat Single Sign On" that was, for some time, based on opensource Keycloak project, but the opensource Keycloak project has existed before RH SSO. And exists now that RH SSO product has been deprecated (retired? Idk what happened).

Red Hat does offer a "Red Hat build of Keycloak" now, and of course Keycloak would not exists in it's current form without Red Hat.

But saying that "Keycloak is a Red Hat product and therefore Red Hat and / or IBM should support it" would be, in my opinion, harmful for the whole opensource movement. If, by being engaged with opensource project, a company risks it's reputation then such company could decide against any engagement, or would engage only if it could keep control of the project / community around it.

Not a problem for me, I work on prompt development, I can't ask GPT how to fix its mistakes because it has no clue. Prompting will probably be the last defense of reasoning, the only place where you can't get AI help.
The video game example resonates. I realized recently that I load up walkthroughs by default. Before I’ve even turned the game on, I’m already following someone else’s ideas of best practice.

I think it comes from a misplaced belief about saving time and optimizing for “best” solutions. Taking a less optimal path is scary, even in a game with 0 real world consequences. I’ll consider that next time.

These numbers probably don't mean what you think they mean. Certainly, the number of H-1B holders in 2021 and 2023 is about the same.

An "admittance" is someone with a H-1B visa appearing a port of entry like an airport to enter the US. If a single H-1B holder goes on (say) 3 international trips in 1 year, that will count as 3 "admittances" in that year.

The reason why the number is so low in 2021 is that the US government had a COVID non-immigrant travel ban. People with H-1B visas couldn't re-enter the US from many countries e.g. most countries in Europe. Many people in H-1B status (like myself) simply didn't take international trips that year.

That doesn't help you fix other vulnerabilities that may have been found and reported by others but not fixed. You alone will never find all of them.
You are not wrong. Exam, raises, lateral and vertical move are decided (in most case) by:

1. The law. For example, public worker salary's are explicitly defined on a public grid, which depends on several factor (exact position, how long you have been in the job, the national public worker salary index, ...).

2. Their boss / future boss. Promotion it partly a matter of law, but also partly at the discretion of your boss. Same for a lateral move. If a position open, and you are qualified to fill it, you have to have interview just like a normal job offer.

There is a bunch a caveat and details, but that's the gist of it. So, technically, representative do have power over this. Some representatives can change the law, and some are technically more or less the boss of the top officer at some administration.
But it still make a lot of things difficult if not impossible. A mayor cannot change national law, only Deputé of the national assembly can, so he has no power over the salary of his administration. He also has no power to fire someone from the local administration unless he can prove that they did something that the law consider a fireable offense. The same would go for a minister.

Of course, in effect, they do yield a lot of influence. While public worker are very, very rarely fired, they can be moved to another position, which is easier to do and what usually happen when someone powerful want them gone without having the actual power to do so directly.
If you are a software dev, have a masters, have DB knowledge and can write scripts, you should look into non-tech companies.

I am a fullstack dev, and can solo support and write software for a mid size company. We plan on getting a junior or another dev soon. We will definitely be paying a junior minimum $60k+ and expect nothing but learning first year.
We are in a MCOL area, so this is about average. WLB is good. No on-call.

I would hire someone with more experience, and even with FAANG experience but I would be worried they would leave a job that only pays $100k in the next FAANG hiring cycle.

Maybe we need a job board for devs who are trying to get out of the tech space and work for nontech, trading top salaries for flexibility and relaxed work environment.
>>This "greatest medical achievement" was touted by the "mainstream" media as 100% safe and effective.

It can still be the greatest medical achievement of our century and the media could have been lying about how safe it is. Penicillin was the greatest medical achievement of its time yet it isn't 100% safe to use. Nothing really is.

What is stupid is people dismissing mRNA vaccines wholesale because they read how some articles written at the time of the pandemic weren't entirely true.

>>this is why it is ridiculed, because it is and always was total bullshit.

Just so we're clear, what do you mean as "total bullshit"?

>>Why did they later tout it as 90% effective? Then 80% effective, then 70% effective, then 60% effective

> Surely we can agree, all things being equal, the heat affected zone will be larger absent conductive heat transfer?

It depends on the parts and is figured out in engineering before we even have tooling made. This is the same situation in vacuum laser and EB here on earth. The minimal heat input allows the part to heat sink itself. If we need more heat sinking we use copper mass cut to shape but that is rarely needed. In production welding there might be dozens of hot, welded parts in the vacuum chamber to reduce the number of time consuming pump down cycles.
No, it is the opposite: the number of fingers on your hand has virtually zero heritability. Variation in the number of fingers on your hand is virtually always a result of environmental influences (for instance: thalidomide during gestation).

If you don't understand what heritability means, (a) you shouldn't be using it to make points about the connections between phenotypical groups of people and their measured IQ, and (b) the links I have for you aren't going to do you any good.
Interesting.
So practically, they would have to hire the new applicant and then let go of the h1b worker because presumably they don’t have the budget for it?!
Ghost jobs are certainly problematic, but I’ve been getting actual interviews where the technical bar feels too high. There’s extraordinarily little trust in previous job experience and interviews assess for test taking anxiety rather than actual skill[0].

I have a bit of uneasiness about how this is heavily pushing GitHub actions as the correct way to publish to PyPI. I had to check PEP740 to make sure it was not directly supported by Microsoft.

> The generation and publication of attestations happens by default, and no changes are necessary for projects that meet all of these conditions: publish from GitHub Actions; via Trusted Publishing; and use the pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish action to publish.

If you then click on "The manual way" it adds a big disclaimer:

> STOP! You probably don't need this section; it exists only to provide some internal details about how attestation generation and uploading work. If you're an ordinary user, it is strongly recommended that you use one of the official workflows described above.

Where the only official workflow is "Use GitHub Actions".

I guess I am an idealist but as a maintainer this falls short of my expectations for the openness of Python and PyPI.

I looked at the site and can say that I am someone who might be interested in your service.

This is not a criticism, but rather intended as (hopefully) constructive feedback.

As a technical dev who just doesn't have the time to spend on my own projects, I have general questions about your services. However, from the site it appears that the only way I can communicate with you is to schedule a phone call.

I understand why you might want that initial contact to be via a phone call, but for me a scheduled call is just too much friction when I just want to fire off an email or a chat to ask a couple of questions and see if we might be a good fit.

That may sound silly, but I suspect I am not alone.

This used to be fairly common for H1B roles of any level - I don't find it surprising almost no one wants to fire a colleague ultimately, so doing whatever you could to reduce the number of applicants while still paying lip service to the rules is the logical outcome, rightly or wrongly.

For what its worth, towards end of 2010s USCIS were starting to clamp down on this and were being a lot stricter about the job being advertised appropriately for the role (you submit evidence of the advertisement during the PERM process).
So what would the instructions be typically?
By law, the number of H1B visas issued per year is capped at 80k, and that's how many have been issued every year for the last twenty years.

"Admittance rates" measure how many H1B people travel internationally and then return to the USA. Unsurprisingly, in 2023, more people traveled internationally than in 2021, when almost all countries closed their borders.
Talking to a couple of people who found jobs recently, I realized that none of them actually found the job by applying online. All of them are through human relationships. It doesn't have to be someone who knew someone, but even an outsourced recruiting agency staffed by humans in a call center is more useful than applying online. The better recruiting agencies usually have an account manager who has a direct line to the company that's hiring.

Online job seeking is dead.
Rust isn't so bad, is it? The example of `char ((x[3])())[5]` would translate to `[fn() -> [fn() -> u8; 5]; 3]`. It's inherently an ugly type, but I think it's easier to read than the C version.
It's curious to me how many people think "just convert it to a different filetype" will solve the problem.

Do you think there are other professions/industries that would benefit from this?
> The h1b program is supposed to be for people at the top of their field so they can skip the normal visa line, but it is commonly used to save money through exploitation.

This is false. O-1 is the visa for the "people at the top of their field". H-1B is for regular employees.
Naah! it would ended up like Glassdoors which keeps deleting posts that don't serve the company narrative..
Your feelings that it is not a thing have no bearing on the actual law. I'm sure you and Alex Jones both agree, but luckily the victims, the jury, and the law don't.
Rejection notices? I get ghosted. I would welcome a rejection notice.
Indeed. And one of the wonders of this is that anyone can determine that you have not abided by the terms. Even Stalin’s Russia was tolerant. It merely deemed many people to not abide by the terms of mutual tolerance.
Err, why? Nothing is actually broken with Ubuntu 24.04. The issue GP is describing is just a lack of understanding of how config files have worked on Linux for decades.

On top of that, this issue doesn't even "ship with 24.04". GP probably chose to enable password auth in SSH during installation, or they used a cloud provider that provisions instances with passwords and overrides the default.
In fact it's also reminiscent of Windows 11.

We have an open issue about supporting EDDSA (of which Ed25519 is the most likely implementation) https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-jwt/issues/13 but it hasn't gotten shipped due to other priorities.
I disagree. The conventions for declaring arrays, pointers, and function pointers are all idiosyncratic. In C, the type is always to the left of the variable being declared. Except for arrays, which have part of the declaration to the right. And except for pointers, which need to be affixed to every item if there are multiple declarations. And except for function pointers where you need to wrap the variable name like (*name). Individually I can wrap my head around these exceptions, but putting all of them together, it's just hard to read.
