Fully denying internet access for an app is actually in iOS and has been there for many years.

Of course they will. Loads of people go around taking hundreds of photos with the biggest camera they can afford even though no-one else will ever willingly look at them.
It looks like these all come from the Reddit embed in the middle of the article. Default uBlock Origin settings blocks 13 urls (and more, due to Reddit's frequent pings), but disable 3rd-party frames brings it down to 1 url (since the original embed was blocked).

What are you building?
You've described my job, but I've found some excitement in the "distributed systems" part of it. It's not trivial to make the right design decisions to make a microservices architecture run well. If it was trivial, we wouldn't have so many problems at work.

That said, I do kind of miss the programming itself being interesting. I did more difficult programming at university.
I could never get the hang of snippets, too much to learn and too inflexible. Copilot for life.
You said it was zero, let's talk about that math.

If you care to show me how it's zero, I'm happy to listen. I'd prefer if the answer is not based on lying because it's "better." For me, actual science is better.

>That's better right?

Not if it could have been better than that but wasn't because someone lied to get their product purchased over a better one.

The better product being selected because it's factually better for the environment; that's better.
Reuniting with lost dog after 8 years
I don't pretend to know their playbook.

All I can see are the visible actions on the surface and try to infer from that what the underlying rationale and strategy are.

But if a new regime took control in another nation and did everything the Red Hats have done, you could infer that they had a coherent strategy that explains their actions.

When the stated rationale for an action like tariffs doesn't make sense (preventing fentanyl from Canada?), the reason it doesn't make sense is not that the action itself is "dumb", it's because the stated rationale for the action is bogus.

So they're doing tariffs for a reason and they're hiding the real reason. If you're on the inside and know the real story, you win. If you're on the outside and keep believing their stories and thinking they're just ignorant, you lose.

Then you see the largest physical movement of gold into the US in decades, and now you guess that insiders are already positioning themselves for what's coming.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-31/jpmorgan-...

If it takes a hoard of gold to protect yourself, then what's coming is not good.

The last one to figure out the real strategy will be left holding the bag of devalued dollars and repudiated Treasury paper.
If the only metric by which you judge your media consumption is enjoyment then I could see how a term like guilty pleasure is not relevant to you.

If you generally seek media that challenges your comprehension, or grants you new insights into yourself or the world around you, then a Dan Brown book may feel a bit like eating a cookie. It’s not bad for you or anything, you might enjoy it a lot, but the calories may feel a bit empty after.

This reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld's comments about his critics in "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee".

Summarizing, when the audience laughs, they vote about the quality of the bit. When the tickets sell out, they vote about the quality of his work. So, who cares what the critics say?

This might not make sense, but sometimes this perspective helps me (not a comedian, or anyone critics have ever heard of).
My impression is quite different, not in the sense that your comment is incorrect but that the

> > Who try really hard to reason properly

is not in my opinion the distinctive element of the group.

I think that the parent would have been more correct had he written

As this implies an entirely different class of actions.
Why would I ask an llm anything?

The asian economic miracle as you put it took place in countries with cheap land, essentially free labor (by Western standards), zero environmental protections, and cheap global shipping.

News flash Einstein, they weren’t buying our expensive shit to begin with. So they didn’t really need tariffs. Why? Because they lived in huts with no electricity or running water and ate rice and vegetables for every meal.

Neoliberal takes. I’ve been reading the Wall Street Journal daily since before you were born, back when it wasn’t just another mouthpiece for some rich asshole with an axe to grind.

Is this data requestable via a GDPR takeout?

searching for “mastercard level 3 data takeout” and such bring up the same 5 pages that are not relevant.
Looking for the most "extreme" high-quality micro-sd cards on Amazon, and also on B&H to avoid the chance of counterfeits, I'm struck by how they are all so damn cheap. Whether SanDisk Ultra, Extreme, Extreme Plus, Extreme Pro, or Max Endurance, the 64GB card is less than $20. (I've seen reports of Sandisk Extreme micro-sd cards dying, at close to the "typical raspi" rate ... I haven't seen that yet for Max Endurance, and that does sound like what I want, so I got one and I'm trying it. But it bothered me, ironically, that it's pretty much the same price.)

Meanwhile, if you go to a professional electronics component vendor like Mouser or Newark, a SwissBit "pseudo-SLC" micro-sd card is over $50 for 32 GB. I'm pretty sure that is real industrial usage quality, and will have similar longevity to a "real SSD" of similar size. (I also got one of these, it works well so far, but that's not a conclusive test yet :)

I guess I could instead get the 512 GB "Sandisk Extreme" whatever, and the additional size will probably give similar longevity? It just seems silly, and a bit less of a sure thing, than the priced-as-expected industrial thing. It is kinda strange/annoying that in the consumer side of the market, they keep adding superlatives, but it seems like the same cheap flash for the same cheap price? The real stuff surely costs more than $16, but it's not on the consumer market, at all.

And why doesn't the Raspi foundation/company sell some of the high-priced industrial stuff, just to make it an obvious option, even if not for most people? If you're just messing around and learning, use the cheap one, but if you want a raspi to do real work for more than 4 months straight, you're gonna want one of these real industrial SD cards. I guess most people who care about storage use m.2 adapters, which you might want for the performance, or the better pricing at higher capacity. But if you don't need the performance or capacity, or don't have room for the m.2 in your application, and just need the damn thing to not break ... the real "extreme" does exist, it is the SwissBit.

What does that even mean? Trickling in changes you want to make via multiple pull requests, spaced across days or months or whatever, instead of submitting it at once?
> The LLMs are much more eager to please and to write lots of code.

My process right now when working LLMs is to do the following:

- Create problem and solution statement

- Create requirements and user stories

- Create architecture

- Create skeleton code

- Map the skeleton code

- Create the full code

At every step, where I don't need the full code, the LLM will start coding and I need to stop it and add "Do not generate code. The focus is still design".
Not just difficult, but there's just so many of them (for the same company ofc). You could ace 3 interviews and not even be half way through the process. You have to be continually on top form for days/weeks on end.
I really hate those who ask for GitHub profiles. Mine is psuedo anonymous and I don't want to share it with my employer or anyone I don't want to. Besides privacy, I do not understand why a company would even expect the candidate to have free contribution in the first place. Can't the candidate have other hobbies to enjoy or learn?
C++20's concepts IMHO are a massive update over C++11. You can basically remove almost 90% of inheritance with them without incurring in any issue (you could do that earlier too, but at the expense of incredibly hard to read error messages - now that's basically solved thanks to concepts).
Check out my project, WarpBuild [1], if you want managed Mac VMs for CI/CD purposes. It plugs in nicely to the GitHub actions ecosystem and provides machines on demand.

I only use my Garmin for GPS+heartbeat based workouts such as hikes + my runs. I've never had any issues integrating their services into Strava or a variety of workout devices in gyms. Though, on a sidenote, it is beyond annoying when many of those devices only support Ant+ or Apple HealthKit integration; but I wouldn't really tag that a Garmin issue as much as an ecosystem one.

That all being said, I could imagine more complicated workouts that surpass simple lap/leg tracking could be problematic.
Make the model write annotated tests too, verify that the annotations plausibly could match the test code, run the tests, feed the failures back in, and iterate until all tests are green?
I don’t think what you are thinking of would happen because we’ll just redefine what a “junior” is.

In some industries you see education inflation- apprenticeships may be declining, but you can get a 2 year degree in auto repair at my community college. Similarly, you used to be able to become a lawyer through apprenticeship and self study, so a “junior” in the profession was the apprentice. Lawyers now enter the profession after 3 years of law school, so the bar for what a “junior” lawyer does and is has changed.

More significantly, you’ll see what is expected of a junior developer (and developers in general) change. My understanding is that prior to personal computers and spreadsheets accountants spent an enormous amount of time doing arithmetic. Presumably, junior accountants were expected to do a lot more of the arithmetic than the senior accountants. The invention of the digital spreadsheet eliminated a lot out of this work, but accountancy (and junior accountants) ended up evolving to deliver ever more insights about how a business operates and now there are more accountants than ever.

As a principal software engineer, I have far more problems to solve than I have time or available resources. If a new grad can solve those problems I’ll happily let them do so. There are precious few problems I have that an LLM can largely solve on its own and where that is true the new grad is often better at utilizing an LLM than I am.
> I’d say this is mostly a function of the language or framework.

frameworks cannot ensure your program does what it's supposed to. People are responsible, not tools.

> contributors are humans

Yes - which is why I would discourage haphazard thread usage, and document existing thread architecture.

That's safer than "hey I threw on a mutex because who knows where this is accessed from".
Naw I don’t blame them. I’m not suggesting anyone spend hours researching each company. And I don’t expect candidates to do anything, I’m saying the candidates who do are the ones that tend to land the job, but it’s entirely the candidate’s choice. All it takes is minutes, really.

You sound like you’ve been burned. That sucks and I’m sorry, I sympathize. I’m hearing that the job market is very tough right now. A big part of that is because it’s extremely competitive. Taking it personally and assuming it’s disrespect isn’t going to help get the job though (even if there was disrespect… but that’s not the only explanation, so it’s a dangerous assumption).
mutable global variables are intrinsically incompatible with a multithreaded environment. Having mutable shared state is never the right solution, unless you basically can live with data races. And that's before taking maintainability in consideration too
You can tell if something was auto-killed or flag-killed by if it is [flagged][dead] or just [dead]. In this case, Animats' comment was not [flagged] which suggests either moderator action (unlikely, it was instant I saw it at 0 minutes and it was dead), a banned account (not in this case, check his history), or a spam or content filter.
The problem with this article is it assumes you control how an app wants secrets. In my stacks, I end up running a bunch of services that all have different configuration paradigms. This is why I wrote the dcsm to help me store encrypted secrets in git, template them into environment or config files, and need only to distribute the decryption key out of band.

By the way, I’m planning to add support for more frameworks and languages, hopefully with help from the community.

At the top of my list are Laravel (PHP) and Spring (Java), but I’m keen to hear what other frameworks would be popular here.
As someone who doesn't understand anything beyond the word 'set' in that question, can anyone give an indication of how hard of a problem that actually is (within that domain)?

Also I'm curious as to what percentage of the questions in this benchmark are of this type / difficulty, vs the seemingly much easier example of "In Greek mythology, who was Jason's maternal great-grandfather?".

I'd imagine the latter is much easier for an LLM, and almost trivial for any LLM with access to external sources (such as deep research).
> you have to pay a US company to calculate it for you

You don't have to pay a company to calculate it for you, but it is difficult to calculate. I think all the states with sales tax assert that the correct sales tax for a delivered item is based on the location of delivery, and determining the tax jurisdictions from the location of delivery is complex. Using the city field of the address is often wrong, because that's really just the name of the post office that serves the delivery location, not an indiciation of what city (if any) the delivery location is in.

Once you've determined the jurisdictions, you also need to confirm the rates for the shipped items and collect and remit the taxes.

It's a lot harder than schemes where there's a single rate for a country or at most one rate per top level subdivision of a country, where delivery addresses almost always have the subdivision clearly marked.
I have so many of his books; there was a time in my life when I was traveling a lot, under a lot of stress from various projects, and on the plane all I wanted to do was to turn my brain off. Those books fit the bill.
One must not forget that cheaters are now everyone, and it's likely you gonna be interviewed by a cheater. I've seen this multiple times already, recent is Meta interview ~8 months ago. Very low quality interviewer - complained about bug in the code, while there was no bug. Can't keep the conversation going, the same for system design - poor guy didn't even want to listen, and was pretty much rude.

I would say that if it wasn't a pattern. So let's not pretend they're not cheaters. Call them out.
Even if I assume that is true, Asia in the 60s-90s and the USA in 2025 are very different geopolitical entities with very different trade relations to navigate and resources that they have/do not have available. This is the whole reason an analysis is necessary. Making good political choices is about taking relevant information and making trade offs, these levers are not some context-independent magic wand that we should hope will work because "hey it worked for the other guy".

You'll also note that good trade relations with the US, not pissing off your trading partners, were a key element to that success.

I'm sure deepseek will also let you know that tariffs are by and large considered a terrible strategy in the vast majority of circumstances.
Could you expand on this? I don't understand the point you're making, or how it's useful.
The problem I see with this is: no-one is born a senior developer. One starts as a junior-level dev, and through trial and error, mistakes and mentoring, grow into an increasingly senior person.
You are not just investing into a person who will leave; you are investing in your future senior devs.

The problem is that infinity is neither a real nor a complex number, nor an element of any algebraic field, and the proposition that "x * 0 = 0" only holds if x is an element of some algebraic field. It is a theorem that depends on the field axioms.

The real numbers can be extended to include two special elements ∞ and -∞, but this extension does not constitute a field, and the range of expressions in which these symbols make sense is very strictly and narrowly defined (see Rudin's PMA, Definition 1.23):

(a) If x is real then
x + ∞ = +∞, x - ∞ = -∞, x / +∞ = x / -∞ = 0.

(b) If x > 0 then x * (+∞) = +∞, x * (-∞) = -∞.
(c) If x < 0 then x * (+∞) = -∞, x * (-∞) = +∞.

The extended real number system is most commonly used when dealing with limits of sequences, where you may also see such symbols appear:

3.15 Definition Let {sₙ} be a sequence of real numbers with the following property: For every real M there is an integer N such that n ≥ N implies sₙ ≥ M. We then write

sₙ ⟶ +∞.

In no other contexts do the symbols ∞ and -∞ make any sense. They only make sense according to the definitions given.

It's usually the case that when you see people discussing infinity that they are actually talking about sequences of numbers that are unbounded above (or below). The expression "sₙ ⟶ +∞" is meant to denote such a sequence, and the definitions that extend the real number line (as in Definition 1.23 above) are used to do some higher-level algebra on limits of sums and products of sequences (e.g. the limit of sₙ + tₙ as n becomes "very large" for two sequences {sₙ}, {tₙ}) to shortcut around the lower-level formalisms of epsilons and neighborhoods of limit points in some metric space, which is how the limits of sequences are rigorously defined.

In no case do the symbols ∞ and -∞ refer to actual numbers. They are used in expressions that refer to properties of certain sequences once you look far enough down the sequence, past its first, second, hundredth, umpteenth, "Nth" terms, and so on.

Thus when you see people informally and loosely use expressions such as "infinity times zero" they're not actually multiplying two numbers together, but rather talking about the behavior of the product of two sequences as you evaluate terms further down both sequences; one of which is unbounded, while the other can be brought arbitrarily close to (but not necessarily equal to) zero. You will notice that no conclusions can be drawn regarding the behavior of such a product in general, whether referencing the definitions comprising the extended real number system or the lower-level definitions in terms of epsilons and neighborhoods of limit points.

So much confusion today comes down to people confidently using words, symbols, and signs they don't understand the definitions nor meanings of. Sometimes I wonder if this is the real esoteric meaning of the ancient Tower of Babel mythos.
Deepseek R1 has 671 billion parameters. Even if you could quantize each parameter to just 1 bit (from 8 bits), you'd still need 84GB of RAM just for the weights. There is no 32B parameter version of the V3/R1 model architecture.
English is an official language of Ireland, and by far the most wildly spoken. Gaeilge is also an official language but <4% of Irish people use it as their main language.

However, this is another reason why flags aren't a good choice for languages. It works for some of the main languages - German, French, etc. where there's a clear one to one link between originating country's flag and language.

It's less clear for English - the UK flag, the US flag, the Irish flag and apparently even the Canadian flag gets used.

It's basically impossible to choose a flag for minority languages, and many countries have multiple official and widely spoken unofficial languages. What flag should represent Balinese, for example?

I don't have a better solution, and if your site is translated to just a couple of languages it's fine. But I guess as machine translation gets closer to perfect and very cheap, it'll become more common to have lots of translations.
