Most of them actually wouldn't because they have no reason to do it and creating the mapping for no reason is work. Making the thing where you're not exposed to the internet the thing that lazy developers get by default is a win.

Some of them could do it for no reason, but they could also have the devices make outgoing connections to the company's servers and then blindly trust any data the servers send back, even if the servers are compromised or the domain expires and falls into the hands of someone else, or the company's own servers are simple relays that forward arbitrary internet traffic back to their devices.

If a device can make outgoing connections then it can emulate incoming connections. Blocking incoming connections to devices that explicitly request them is therefore not a security improvement unless you're also prohibiting them from making any outgoing connections, because the result is only that they do it in a less efficient way with more complexity and attack surface and less visibility to the user/administrator.

I assure you, that a company cannot have a morality. It also cannot have a preference for chocolate ice cream, basketball or have children. Companies are not made of people either. Similarly, if you want to speak to a company, you will speak to someone whose job it is to represent the company - you will not speak to the company itself - its a legal fiction.

Companies are legal paperwork that real people engage with to get money - such is the way our society is organised.

If you were to argue that some animals exhibit morality - I would see what you mean.

Sampling profilers are indeed very low-overhead, however they can't help debug tail latency, for which tracing profilers are indispensable:

https://yosefk.com/blog/profiling-in-production-with-functio...

https://danluu.com/perf-tracing/

Regarding the slowdown - magic-trace reports 2-10% slowdowns which IMO is actually fine even for production (unless this adds up to a huge dollar cost, for most people it won't) since in return for this you are actually capable to debug the rare slowdowns which are the worst part of your user experience.

However, the hardware feature that I propose (https://yosefk.com/blog/profiling-in-production-with-functio...) would likely have lower overhead since it relies on software issuing tracing instructions, eg at each function entry & exit (rather than any control flow change), and it could be variously selective (eg exclude short functions without loops; and/or you could configure the hardware to ignore short calls. BTW maybe you can with Intel Performance Trace, too, I'm just not really familiar with it.)
My understanding is that countries who have "solved" homelessness either -

• Societally and culturally produce so few individuals who would behave the way America's most problematic homeless do that direct 1on1 intervention is feasible. There are school districts in the US where the truancy rate exceeds 70%. There are other countries where this is not the case. Switzerland and Norway come to mind.

• Involuntarily commit or arrest individuals who are mentally unfit to function in normal society. Institutionalization, basically. China and Russia come to mind.

If there was a silver bullet which was politically acceptable to "solve" America's homeless problem I ensure you, folks in California would have tried it.

I’m not a fan of Chomsky myself really, but I think its important to distinguish cognition from computation. Not saying Chomsky’s model was correct, but he wasn’t working on machine learning per se, which certainly draws more, whether intentionally or not, from phenomenology.

> It doesn't do that. It rewrites the source address that outbound connections appear to come from; it doesn't implement any kind of access control.

It absolutely does. There is no way with NAT to connect from the outside network to the inside ("but what if the attacker is directly attached to the next hop blahblahblah"). That's all that firewalls need to do, everything else is useless noise in the current world.

> Take two networks that are identical, except one is doing NAT and one isn't, and test them.

Here's my IP: 192.168.80.36. Feel free to attack me. Go on. The public IPv4 of my router is 76.191.126.81. I even opened a port 8871 for you with a static page with a Bitcoin wallet worth $1000, you just need to get to it.

You can't. There's no way to get to my computer without hacking the NAT server first.

That's why NAT _is_ a firewall, and a foolproof one at that. It's secure by default, unlike IPv6 firewalls that can fail open.

Note that "US as a threat" was a strawman argument.

(Although USA has threatened to occupy EU territory in the last weeks.)

It does not have to be a threat, but if Europe should take more responsibility for their own defense, it would make sense build up their nuclear capacity.

(And I am well aware of the differences between EU, Europe and individual countries. But it seems to me tha France is the country to build upon.)

Ukraine had nuclear weapons that they gave away. Maybe they shouldn't have?

Also - universal healthcare is not about 1-2 percent lower military spendings (much of which goes back to the country itself). USA is a rich country, you could also afford it.
For what it's worth, I find it much easier for my ADHD to debug and improve existing code than to greenfield - it's actually interesting. Debugging is like a detective's work with small dopamine hit at each step of unraveling the situation and a huge reward once you finally grasp it. It's best to do on someone else's code, so you don't get too frustrated with your past self ;) Greenfielding provides some rewards too, but once I'd greenfielded anything remotely similar already there's a lot of forcing myself to do it around the beginning and end, where there's plenty of unrewarding work to do. For greenfielding to be fun and easy, it needs to be a completely new area that I had no previous experience in, but that doesn't tend to end up with excellent results.

> Could the Go solution add parallelism, sure. Did they? Not yet.

They did: Lefthook lets you define a "group" where you can specify that every command should be done in parallel: https://lefthook.dev/configuration/group.html. In addition, it's possible to configure the whole hook to run in parallel through another property: https://lefthook.dev/configuration/parallel.html.

I'm assuming that Hk's innovation here is that it's a bit smarter with what it runs in parallel. Maybe it uses the globs to automatically run commands in parallel which targets different files?

> "Rust is faster" as an off the cuff comment that should have been left out seeing it has triggered some folks to hyper focus on that point.

It's not a a hyper focus: This was the first reason (out of only three) that Hk itself presented as a reason to use it over Lefthook. So yes, I agree: It should have been left out if the intention wasn't for people to focus on it. Put it somewhere in a footnote if it's not so relevant.

I would agree that protests alone are less effective than if they are combined with other things.
Some of the demand will disappear, when, instead of adding a dependency on an open source package, to get that function you want, you use your LLM "assistant".

(The assistant will effectively plagiarize open source code, and then you don't have a dependency, and you slap your own copyright notice on it.)

LLM-generated/laundered code could move code bases a little bit back in the direction of low-dependency monoliths, like a lot of software was before the wild popularity of open source code (and, especially, modern Web dev).
It might be required and audited for software deployed to / interacting with government cloud. Eventually it will have to be correct too, as otherwise would be a security risk.

India has 1.4bn people. It is honestly weird they are not dominating in more sports. Once they really move out of being a developing nation and spend more on frivolous pursuits like Olympic medals I bet they will do just that.
It's not one or the other though - a bit of safeguards here and there would make you even more productive, imho. Code reviews are indispensable for sharing knowledge within a team, automated deployments help deliver the system reliably and without unplanned downtime, and tests... People start appreciating tests when the red lights warn them about breakages in some completely unrelated places that they didn't even think were affected by what they did. And I'm not talking about 100% coverage - even covering just some of the trickier, but important flows helps immensely.
Thanks for you kind words!

I don't think build systems add -fPIC automatically, nor remove it automatically. C++ build systems do not stoop to the question of how to best build a C++ program, by and large. They are more task graph executors - either bad ones, like make, or good ones, like Bazel, but mostly task graph executors; the most "C++ support" you will get is native support for scanning #include files (as opposed to doing it yourself like make forces you to.)
If you make use of dynamic linking namespaces and some sort of runtime, you can make it impossible to enter specific libraries in certain libraries in certain threads and avoid that cost. If your application is large enough that you can't keep track of deps, then you may want something like that in your application if you're not willing to split it into multiple processes.

There was debate on the team back in ~2009 over changing the query params -- when you estimate how much bandwidth and disk is consumed per day at the scale of Analytics, just for the difference of a character or two on a handful of query params -- even well over a decade ago, it really was astounding.

The migration would never be total, though, because more than a few users had copied the analytics script to their CDN or were in some way depending on a local fork of it. Some backwards compatibility would need to be maintained, perhaps for as long as the product exists. For this and other reasons, changing the params (and supporting both, indefinitely) wasn't pursued.

Since a couple Linux versions something around 6.10 IIRC I've had it where my Nvidia system wakes into a black screen, but with a cursor and alt shells work, specifically KDE Plasma seems bugged here, but they say it's a kernel issue, or at least there are dozens of separate issues open about this kind of bug and it's rather annoying that I can't put my machine to sleep.

If anyone has ideas what could fix this I'd really appreciate it. The machine is dual booted with Windows, and there sleep works without issue, so it's clearly possible, as it was for years before that on Linux as well.

>and offensive as claiming gay men all flounce around in assless chaps

I agree they are painting with a broad and inaccurate brush but to compare it to the stereotypes queer people have to endure, especially in the current social/cultural moment playing out in the US, is honestly far more offensive IMO. Those two situations are not on the same playing field. People in the armed forces (who aren't LGBT) do not know what it's like at all to be judged like the queer community.

I wouldn't say that's the conclusion. If there's only one true thing about work is: management doesn't care about you. They can fire you for any reason, and thinking that by working on stuff nobody else wants to work on you are "safe", it's an illusion.

If any the conclusion is: work on what you want, life is short.
It's used with sarcasm / irony. In this use case, "naturally" implies the author intended to communicate one or more emotions from a certain narrow set of possibilities. That set includes:

- An eye-rolling, critical emotion - where they used up a valuable spot on the team to retain a person who ostensibly promises to specialize in exactly this type of problem, but instead they proved to be useless even in the one area they were supposed to deliver value.

- A emotion similar to that invoked by "c'est la vie". Sometimes this is resigned, sometimes this is playful, sometimes this is simply neutrally accepting reality.

Follow-up comments from the person who wrote it indicate they meant it in a playful sense of "c'est la vie", and indicated that the team found camaraderie and joy in teasing each other about it.

Nope, assuming that code works and handles UTF8 (sorry, but there is a point where it is too far gone to save). You’ve made yourself essential. You know the business better. You are strategic. And often, you become the one person who knows the legacy code base. And you will quickly find yourself a part of super important decisions. You’ll be called out regularly for fixing things that have gone unfixed for years. You’ll also drive value by helping the company avoid spending vast amounts of money re-implementing functioning code. On top of that, new product is often a mix of new and old, so you’ll quickly find yourself in the middle of new product teams.
