> Web developers don't have the option of getting browsers to add new code every time they want to add a complex new feature to their app

We lack a mechanism for picking sane new features. Browsers add new stuff all the time. Most of it is horrible. [Say] Adding a js assembly has to be the most stuborn way of tollerating new langages. you may do it, as long as the new lang is js!? You can have butter as long as it is yogurt.

MS and Apple both make hardware and control your OS. It is a fundamentally more in-your-face relationship with many more points of contact for an average consumer. That doesn't mean Google has been any less ruthless in pursuit of their almighty quarterly gains.

>not for any of the broader motives you are attempting to impute

Why do the errors of your "laziness" all point in the same direction? Motivated reasoning is the obvious explanation.

>spinning the torture/murder of Dilawar as a matter of his being framed by locals (as if that were the primary cause of what happened to him)

Yet again I will emphasize that I was responding to the claim "The kidnapping of random civilians to get tortured". Way up in this thread I stated:

>Can you provide a citation for the claim that these were literally random civilians (as opposed to people suspected of committing a crime or plotting to commit a crime)?

Perhaps you were too lazy to read that part?

The question here is not how gruesome the crime is. Repeating myself yet again: The question is the degree to which this crime reflects on the entire US nation, vs specific culpable individuals. Insofar as it reflects on the entire US nation, that's where the implication that we should withdraw from NATO is straightforward.

>There's also the weird way you describe his death as "sad and tragic", as if it were a car accident, or something similar fateful. It was nothing of the sort of course - it was a war crime, straight up.

I already stated in this thread: "I think you are correct that the US service members committed some fucked up war crimes in Iraq."

I won't respond to you further in this thread. It's increasingly clear based on your responses that you simply aren't reading what I'm writing, and aren't thinking very hard about this topic.

And, I don't think my nation should be defending yours. You're not an ally. An "alliance" means mutual benefit. But there's no benefit to me from partnering with you. Defending you is charity, and considered as charity, it is frankly terrible. I don't believe in charity for wealthy, self-righteous, entitled, smug, thankless people -- especially not when it entails significant personal risk.

You haven't remotely justified why my tax dollars should pay for your defense, given the risk of US service members committing more gruesome war crimes in the course of defending you, same way they did in WW2.

Lol yeah. My old team had oncall pages in the middle of the night pretty often where nothing was actually the matter. My manager was only nominally on call. In the handoff meetings every week he was basically just like “that sucks”.

I had a Teal Indigo2 for a few years about 15 years ago. I loved it! It had the cool feet that let you prop it up sideways so you could have it in tower mode. The feet had these little scoops embedded in them so the machine could more effectively hoover up all the dust from the floor. Fantastic!

This! Whenever someone talk about on-call this aspect of that rotation gets swept under the carpet. Whenever I interview I always ask whether they have on-call system (they must if there are servers and apps involved) and if they do whether they have follow the sun.

Most don’t even like the question. For them such questions are red flags or the candidate is not “motivated enough”. Rarely some even have follow the sun policy. They might have one in their HQ, true for a lot of US/EU firms, but their offices in a developing country like India - it’s always something on the lines of “oh, engineers here take full ownership; they are the owners”.

Also, I have seen — 2-3 days rotation with follow the sun is best, week long or longer being worst.

Then there are companies where it could be forever on-call with no follow the sun - e.g. Amazon, Uber (in India at least). That’s another world altogether.

Of course, all these "portable C" stuff only works as long as it is pure C standard library.

One might extend the goals a bit, and include POSIX, and even then, only works if the set of target systems support POSIX, and finally if the implementation defined semantics happen to agree, and not cause random surprises.

In my 20ish years I’ve done every possible day for oncall schedules. I would say each have pros/cons but overall I found it to be a minor difference.

Mon-Mon is nice because it’s a logical time to start something fresh at the start of the week.
Tuesday is good for the reasons in the post, Wednesday is similar.
Thursday is nice because after you’re done you can relax on Friday.
Friday-Friday is less common but can be nice because you get the satisfaction of being done on the last day of the week.
Because rich people got richer, which is always ok
In some cases it might help. Because then it becomes “natural” - on-call thing. It’s not something someone dreads as in “god, that week is coming”. Also, it spreads the fuck-ups and peaceful times better.

You are right, I didn't cover them in my analysis. That was not the dynamic I chose to focus on.

Personally I think the real question is why a robber that stole $500 from a bank teller drawer and anyone that helped them gets thrown in prison without any meaningful consideration of their circumstances while these besuited lowlifes get to go home to their families every night while they decide amongst themselves whether they can figure out who is responsible for destroying thousands of people’s lives.
If regulators don't act, then nothing will stop copycats from doing this again. The end result will be the loss of trust in new banks. The people that would benefit from this effect are established banks, so it may not be in the OG banks' interest to cooperate. I would be interested to hear a patio11 analysis of this situation.

Well, that might be the point of the parable of the dagger that he links to. It can't be the point of Mark Dominus's puzzle, because Mark Dominus doesn't understand it:

> So if you said the treasure must be in the red box, you were simply mistaken. If you had a logical argument why the treasure had to be in the red box, your argument was fallacious, and you should pause and try to figure out what was wrong with it.

He doesn't really elaborate on this, because he doesn't know the answer:

> Here are some responses people commonly have when I tell them that argument A is fallacious:

> "If the treasure is in the green box, the red label is inconsistent."

> It could be. Nothing in the puzzle statement ruled this out. But actually it's not inconsistent, it's just irrelevant.

This is an unfortunate point in an otherwise good essay. The problem in the puzzle is precisely that the red label is inconsistent, in the ordinary sense that no matter what you assume about it, a contradiction will result. Its truth implies its falsity, and its falsity implies its truth. Holding the location of the treasure fixed, no Boolean model exists in which the red label has a truth value at all.

The puzzle is an example of the Cretan paradox; there's not much more to it than that. It catches more interest because it's presented as if it were a different kind of puzzle than it is.
Perhaps I'm just too used to the system, but... I have 6 weeks of paid vacation per year and on top of that I take 1-4 weeks of unpaid.

I truly cannot understand how people in cerebral professions can function at all for more than a year without taking vacations all the time. Perhaps they cannot and just think they are productive?
Just an example to expand on what others are saying: in the N^2-qubit Shor code, the X information is recorded redundantly in N disjoint sets of N qubits each, and the Z information is recorded redundantly in a different partitioning of N disjoint sets of N qubits each. You could literally have N observers each make separate measurements on disjoint regions of space and all access the X information about the qubit. And likewise for Z. In that sense it's a repetition code.

Neural networks can be evolved to do all sorts of algorithms. For example, controlling an inverted pendulum so that it stays balanced.

> In a CPU, we take great care with data representation and protocol definition, then we do formal verification on the algorithms, and we can be pretty sure that the output are correct.

Sure, intelligent design makes for a better design in many ways.

That doesn't mean that an evolved design doesn't work at all, right?

A lot of economics points to fundamental truths which nobody will accept. We should be treating food as fuel and ignore all considerations except nutrition.

The thing is that more slow chargers might be better, if it was 100x more. Or even 1000x. If every single street park has a cable to the nearest light pole. If we get V2G. If we stop worrying about Chinese cheap batteries flooding the market. If we have electric buses.

But if it's just 5x as many, the authors know perfectly well that nobody will believe it. People believe we've got nirvana in fast chargers.

Because in part, people are irrational and want advantage at a price to them, and against society's better needs. Who am I to say that's irrational? Asocial maybe. So what?

Gross, no. This just allows management to ignore problems and push development teams to do feature work, even when everything is on fire and the oncall person is getting paged multiple times per day.

Oncall should be compensated, always. The oncall person should get a flat rate just for being on standby, and should also receive a per-page payout, and that amount should be larger if the page happens outside regular business hours.

Then management will actually realize there's a cost to pushing features and pulling in deadlines at the expense of robust engineering practices. Or they can decide they are fine with that, and paying the oncall person is a cost of doing business they way they want to.

I've seen too many instances either issues they come up during oncall never get fixed, and just page and page and page.

I will never again work at a company where oncall is "just a part of the job". I value my own time too much.

The Photo Gallery [1] features a couple of installations, running on 4k screen hardware and a Xeon X5690 as it seems, but is still based on CentOS from 2004 and running a Linux 4.18 kernel?

Do they have compilation problems or kernel mod problems, or that they need to port their display server and kernel mods to newer APIs in the upstream kernel?

Looking at the roadmap [2] this looks like a major development effort with huge stories along the way. Is there a foundation people can support financially?

Looking at archive.org for September 2023 [1] they claim an "average annual savings reward" of "~2.70%*". At a real major US bank, I was getting 4.65% in my savings account at this same time.

The Annual Savings Reward will vary from member to member depending on one’s luck in the Daily Drawings and is subject to change in the future."

> The R8000 is not a CPU in the traditional sense. It is a processor, but that processor is comprised of many individual chips

And retrocomputing geeks (and just any geek sufficiently old) got rueful grins on their faces.

This is traditional, in the sense of being old-fashioned. CPUs were built out of discrete components back when that meant individual vacuum tubes, discrete solid-state components, and then, finally, discrete chips. Thousands of individual SSI chips in computers like the Apollo Guidance Computer. Even after the first single-chip CPU was developed, larger computers still used multi-chip CPUs, like the PDP-11 architecture being implemented on four chips in the LSI-11 chipset.

Author started with throwing the results of JSON.stringify into a cookie, and I was surprised that his issue wasn't just that someone had thrown a semicolon into the JSON that was being stringified.

Most of the headaches around cookies seem to be around people trying to get them to work with arbitrary user input. Don't do that. Stick with fixed-length alphanumeric ASCII strings (the kind you use for auth tokens) and you'll be fine.
