I think it's reasonable. Not the exact details of this installation necessarily. The reality is that there are a bunch of people that want to lash out at the government for whatever reason, and the civil servants that just want to do their job shouldn't be put in a dangerous situation by allowing those people to walk into their offices unimpeded. If you believe that the agency shouldn't exist, lobby Congress. Don't take it out on people that just want to do their assigned administrative work for 8 hours a day.

Remember that someone was so mad at the IRS that they filled their airplane with gas cans and flew it into an IRS building, killing an employee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Austin_suicide_attack

Some security precautions are understandable in my opinion. (I don't think the ID requirement is reasonable. Take and store a photograph, deleted after 3 months, and make people go through a metal detector. Also, put the ID requirement documents online. It's free.)
Yes, it seems like a surprising factor to overlook here! Companies are still innovating -- but when they're onto something, big tech takes notice, and it sure seems like they're all but forced to blitz-scale in order to avoid being eaten alive.
I'd be curious if the design of the Cybertruck affects readings at all. It's got angles straight outta an F-117.
How do you find gimmicks from Bob Martin like (d + e*g) which in theory are great but to use it in practice would take loads of coaching?
Direct physical access by the attacker isn't strictly necessary (i.e. operation Olympic Games) to "network" a computer you otherwise believe isn't networked. Unless you're bootstrapping from nothing attackers have tons of potential "ins" (firmware, the operating system, application software) to introduce backdoors or side-channels.

I've very nearly reached the point of just assuming all "modern" computers are effectively "networked", even if only by ultra-low bandwidth, exceedingly high-latency unidirectional side channels. Just bringing an "untrusted" computer into proximity of a "trusted" computer (say, having a smartphone in your pocket) might be enough to allow for exfiltration of data from the "trusted" system (assuming there's a side-channel in the "trusted" computer you're unaware of).
> But it has many other good language features, IMO.

It also has a few rather problematic corners, e.g. that preconditions in multithreaded applications interfere with thread synchronization.
In fact the Muslims initially prayed towards Jerusalem (as did the Jews then and today) until revelation specifically turned them towards Mecca:

> "So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Mecca). And wherever you are, turn your faces toward it..."

That's exactly what I'm getting at. You'll want one layer in charge of ensuring consistency and authentication of incoming write requests.

I found an interview with the founder of Synapse and the setup was more complicated than that. It seems that client transactions were happening directly on the bank and the bank was notifying Synapse who were then updating their client balances.

If the bank screwed up this notification process then Synapse didn't necessarily know about it until the customers started complaining.

The notification process was some janky thing involving text files, cron and sftp and frequently failed. Sometimes it didn't work at all (which Synapse would spot) but sometimes it just omitted loads of transaction records.

And it gets worse from there with the bank allegedly pulling various shenanigans and Synapse being blissfully unaware.

I don't see how you can run a finance business when you have no oversight or control over what's happening.

I want to be super clear here, I actually have no special objections to e.g. recruiting in high schools for college ROTC programs. As you say, the goal is to produce an effective officer at the other end of years of development, but also years of just maturing and growing up outside of the home. A good friend of mine actually separated from the Air Force (as a captain) and subsequently rejoined specifically to do that (as a stepping stone for getting a waiver to fly an A-10, but he was deemed just a little too colorblind for that, and so he resigned as a major), and it didn't seem at all problematic.

My issue is specifically with recruiters driving enlistment right out of high school, especially for jobs that don't have much of a civilian equivalent market. My friends the nuke techs, or the guy I knew who did something with missile controls on a guide missile cruiser were pretty much in the same spot as when they started, but with the GI bill (although only one of those three used it). The guy I knew from high school who deployed to Afghanistan got a Purple Heart and a Combat Lifesaver certificate, but not much else before he was old enough to buy a beer.

Yeah, its an important job, but its just a job, and we don't let Walmart try to drive applicants in 3rd period. If the steady diet of nationalism and militarism that kids get from age 3 on isn't enough to get them to join up, maybe we should rethink letting them interrupt Algebra 2 to dangle $50k in front of a bunch of 17 year olds.

Does UNIX philosophy holds anymore? Most of the modern CLI tools I've seen here try to be all at once: file manager, git client, grep.

IMO keyword is incremental, but we don't know what relative gap is being maintained against detection... if any. As in detection, queuing, targetting might well have caught up, but the virtue of stealth may still be it forces adversaries to have denser sensor networks, even if it means stealth is dead if caught within net. My understanding focus is more on LO materials vs LO shaping in terms of design (to not compromise kinematics), but report suggest coating is not reliable after decades. If LO fighter that doesn't have optimzied LO shape can't fly with LO coating is not a good combo.

there are semi-competent arms of the US security apparatus that are not principally theatrical, that I would find shocking to be hit. The NSA comes to mind.

If anyone ever hit the TSA I'd just laugh at their piss-poor targeting. Thanks for clearing out our dusty community theater, now maybe we can build an ice cream shop there or something else actually useful.
Reinforced doors and a belief among everyone from passengers to pilots that a successful hijacking is likely to lead to death rather than inconvenience reduced hijacking after 2001. I would be surprised if searching passengers more aggressively or requiring people to prove their address to get a driver's license had much to do with it.

What you wrote was "you write tests so that you know your code works," but what you seem to have meant is "you write tests so that you when you get burned in production by problems that your tests didn't anticipate, you can write more tests at that time to make sure those newly discovered problems don't burn you again."

That's nice, but it's far from "knowing your code works". When code works, it doesn't burn you in production.
If the default ETag algorithm for non-encrypted, non-multipart uploads in AWS is a plain MD5 hash, is this subject to failure for object data with MD5 collisions?

I'm thinking of a situation in which an application assumes that different (possibly adversarial) user-provided data will always generate a different ETag.
Don't you have to pay an annual fee to Apple to sign software? It looks like they have a fee waiver program but for some reason it doesn't cover open source or even let an individual person apply at all: https://developer.apple.com/support/fee-waiver/

I'm not sure it is reasonable to demand that open source devs pay a fee to Apple so that you don't have to right-click the app and whitelist it...
For better or worse Kubernetes is capable of handling any edge case you could possibly throw at it.

I am lucky enough to have met my wife through Church as it gives me access to a large network and community events I can attend but I can't even imagine attempting to find her through a dating app, it would be probably impossible for us to match.

So many people are struggling and in part I think it's due to having access to unlimited entertainment at our fingertips.. going out and meeting people is difficult, it takes effort and doesn't always work.. it's much easier to just stay home and watch Netflix or play video games or scroll on social media. Looking back, the trend accelerated when "smart phones" became a thing, before that, I recall people going out more often and streets were always bursting with social activities.

Of course I wish I could preach "going to Church" as a solution, but it's not realistic, not everyone shares the same beliefs, yet I know the community aspect of it would be a net positive for many people.

I hope the secular world can bring back their 3rd places without the religious aspect of it somehow.
Campuses have for the last 10+ years been a place where this principle has been challenged over and over again by (a loud minority of) the student body, with the university usually folding quickly under pressure and shutting down the 'offensive' speaker.

So what's going on here is a classic case of 'I never thought that the leopards would eat my face!' Progressive activists are learning that you can't spend decades building up the precedent and infrastructure for silencing speech on campus in the name of creating safe spaces and then expect to keep control over which groups of people get to declare a safe space.
Someone who is self-taught is likely to have an interest in the topic of programming. Most bootcampers I've come across have no interest in understanding the fundamentals.

In my experience, the former produces much higher quality developers and it's not even close.
Airline and security protocols are no longer "comply with everything so that nobody gets killed". Doors are locked. Passengers will likely bum rush you. There might be armed security on any given flight. The odds of success are unbelievably long compared to what they were in the 80s. Just not worth it vs a "boring" bombing or whatever.

It's just function calling with a new name and a big push from the LLM provider, but this time it's in the right direction. Contrast with OpenAI's "GPTs", which are just function calling by another name, but pushed in the wrong direction - towards creating a "marketplace" controlled by OpenAI.

I'd say that thing you're feeling comes from witnessing an LLM vendor, for the first time in history, actually being serious about function calling and actually wanting people to use it.

Legitimate is an interesting choice of words for any government in a country that has not had free elections since 1948. Fidel Castro was in charge of Cuba for 50 years without receiving a single ballot cast in his name, despite promising free elections in his first year.

Such dictatorships propped by a foreign power from another side of the planet at the expense of the safety and well-being of people in the Americas looks exactly the kind of thing Monroe Doctrine sought to prevent.
Ah time to repost the classic:

It's not that messy, it's just a disagreement about what a "country" is. You're thinking with the European mindset of "nation", where a country is defined by its borders, history, etc. The OP is thinking with the American mindset where the country is defined by its founding documents and legal principles. They're entirely different.

In the latter mindset, Prussia, the German Empire, etc., really have nothing to do with modern Germany, because Germany is not a kingdom or empire, it's a country that was founded in 1945/6 by Allied occupiers. The only messy thing about it is the reunification in the early 1990s, because two formerly separate countries (DDR and BRD), with extremely different systems of government, were stuck together, but under the same system of government as the western side, which really makes it an annexation.
Nah, I advocated for hiring someone out of a bootcamp who was previously a dancer. She ended up being a great addition to the team, was an excellent communicator, and was a significantly more clever and harder worker than others I’ve worked with who came from elite schools.

I sometimes think this attitude that you can’t teach good programming practices quickly on the job comes from folks who have never tried. We literally have code review practices for this reason.

Agreed. I feel like the majority of startups I've seen on here are reinventing the wheel, solutions in search it problems, etc. Maybe this will stop VCs from being so frivolous and needing bailouts.

If he wants to make useful changes perhaps stop corn (high-fructose) subsidies and get rid of tariffs on 'regular' sugar.

Accepting that HIV and AIDS are linked would also probably be useful for a Secretary of Health:

> In his book The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the War on Democracy and Public Health, Kennedy writes that he takes "no position on the relationship between HIV and AIDS,"[292]: 347 but spends over 100 pages quoting HIV denialists such as Peter Duesberg who question the isolation of HIV and the etiology of AIDS.[311] Kennedy refers to the "orthodoxy that HIV alone causes AIDS"[292]: 348 and the "theology that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS,"[292]: 351 and repeats the false HIV/AIDS denialist claim that no one has isolated the HIV particle and "No one has been able to point to a study that demonstrates their hypothesis using accepted scientific proofs.": 348 He also repeats the false claim that the early AIDS drug AZT is "absolutely fatal"[292]: 332 due to its "horrendous toxicity."[292]: 298 Molecular biologist Dan Wilson points out that Kennedy falsely claims that Luc Montagnier, the discoverer of HIV, was a "convert" to Duesberg's fringe hypothesis. Wilson concludes that Kennedy is a "full blown" HIV/AIDS denialist.[311][292] Epidemiologist Tara C. Smith suggests that Kennedy's book "even flirts with outright germ theory denial," quoting a portion where Kennedy contrasts germ theory with terrain theory.[312]

I’d wager that the algorithm is slightly eager to throw a consistency error if it’s unable to verify across partitions. Since the caller is naturally ready for this error, it’s likely not a problem. So in short it’s the P :)
> An accurate clock / watch -- hard necessity. Good luck functioning in society without it. Opening hours, appointments, public transit schedules, are just few among many things synchronized in time, that expect you to have a clock so you can stay in sync too. And no, you can't get away with a rooster or a sundial, like you could 200 years ago - you need precision of at least a minute.

Prostrations are part of every Orthodox tradition, to my knowledge. You will even see people making prostrations publicly in church especially during Great Lent, but you will generally not see people doing it at a Sunday liturgy since (in most traditions) prostrations are forbidden on Sundays.

I lived overseas for a time in an area that didn't use English. I loved it, enjoyed being there, but one day I noticed that I was talking to myself! At first, it was just exclamations out loud (quietly) when something happened around me. It progressed to me describing or evaluating my meal, a book, a scene I was looking at. I realized it when I noticed ppl looking at me strangely (they normally did anyway), and as I looked back wondering why they were looking at me, it hit! I had been talking out loud to myself, normal volume! Why? I figure it was loneliness; but loneliness for hearing English. I was the only one who could speak it! And then it hit me again, a new found epiphany about all those "crazy homeless" ppl who I'd seen back home, muttering to themselves as they wander around. What if, instead of (or in addition to) being mentally unwell, they were just lonely, and having no one to talk to led to them talking to themselves? Whoa.

Alexander Technique can have benefits if one puts in the effort and to some extent believes in it. FM Alexander referred to his method as "the work."

But, it takes time and a certain mindset to integrate it into daily life without becoming self-conscious. That's where it came apart for me since I overthink everything. I think others on HN may be the same. As soon as you start to doubt, it stops. Now, I am in the coffin-corner of going through the Alexander steps because they are "in my head" while getting nothing out of them.

Additionally, it is not a way to learn new things and avoid bad habits "by design." It seems to work when people (artists, musicians, dancers, etc. who are the chief customers of Alexander) have trained themselves to do certain things but who have pain from doing those things less than optimally. Reeducating themselves to do things differently may work. I tried to apply it to new movements and failed utterly.

It's fascinating how much more complicated this ends up being to deliver in the C and C++ ecosystem.

#embed has to pretend - in principle - that we're going to conjure all these byte values into existence, as actual numbers, and then by the "as if" rule the compiler is not really going to do that because it would be crazy slow. The reality that we're just going to shove the data into the program as if it was an array is an (obviously, implemented everywhere) optimisation, rather than part of the language specification.

The analogous Rust `include_bytes!` just gets you a &'static [u8; N] -- an immutable reference to an array of N bytes which lives forever.

At first I thought OK, well, maybe the C approach lets you do some clever compile stuff that Rust can't do. Nope. If I have a compile time function checksum which calculates a 64-bit checksum of the slice passed by immutable reference - and a file of 128MB of data called firmware.bin, Rust is completely fine with let sum = checksum(include_bytes!("firmware.bin")); and that results in a 64-bit value, the 128MB file evaporated after being checksummed.
