The problem is, even for large companies, Kerberos can be quite the pain. It's fine for fixed position desktop computers physically located on site or at a remote site with a hardware VPN tunnel - that was what it was built for.

But that is rarely the case any more. People use their own devices (BYOD) that aren't integrated into AD at all, they're using them outside of the office which means there is no VPN available at boot time to deal with token issuance, and the modern "zero trust" crap that uses weird packet filtering black magic instead of proper tun/tap virtual ethernet devices often doesn't play too nice with archaic authentication tools.

On top of that, implementing support for Kerberos in a Dockerized world is just asking for pain.
Rant. I do not see any improvement in the outcome code. Lets not nitpick on fast parsing and just scroll through unnecessary code actions.

> ... u8line(move(line))

We are not reusing parsed line object between iterations. Forcing fresh allocation per line.

> auto words = ...

Fresh allocation per line.

> lookup/insert

Lookup and hashing done 2 times for each word. Each unique word individually allocated on the heap.

> stats.push_back

Not preallocated. Likely doing full allocate + copy per each word.

> sort_relocatable

Could have been faster with additional memory provided. But this is minor because sorting probably was not ideal in the first place.

and the icing on the cake:

>printf("%d ... (int)count ...

As old saying goes "One can write Fortran program in any language". There are zero reasons to write non type safe text output in 2025 in C++ but here we are.

TLDR. One can name their foundation library any name and use any namespace it does not change how the code written much. Right?
Having an engineering diploma is not the same as having an engineering license though. In US, 99% of engineers do not have a professional engineer license.
"Unlkely to be used in initial assault" indeed. Fixed position assets which need grounding and anchoring would take hours, if not days to assemble. And like the mulberries are at risk of storms.

> He responded to my October 2022 email, explaining that he had “stopped writing much journalism as of 2015 so as to avoid distractions from a book project that I thought would take an almost unfathomably long time—two years or perhaps even three. Seven years later, I’m doing my best to polish the third draft.”

One encounters this over and over again—even books that successfully get finished and published take far longer than expected, very consistently, and especially any involving research. Books (non-fiction in particular) written as series often also expand from, say, five planned volumes in the forward to the first edition of the first volume, to (say) a dozen.

You can only put $38k/year into tax advantages accounts working for someone else - $20k in the 401k, $10k with a match (that would be a generous match, but not unrealistic), and $8k in an IRA. You can double it if you are married. Everything is is not tax advantaged. If you work for yourself there are other retirement laws.

You can of course put as much as you want into real estate (which if you rent out can give a nice return), or other investments. However the tax advantages do not apply.

Ranchers don't normally put anything into tax advantaged accounts, but they tend to put a large portion of their gross income into real estate. By 60 their take home pay is higher than tech and those large investments have grown to more than most in tech make.

Tutor CoPilot: A Human-AI Approach for Scaling Real-Time Expertise (2024)
I'm not sure what you're arguing that's different than what I'm arguing. What I'm arguing is that renewables are being deployed on an exponential (S-)curve and nuclear is not. Given the relatively short time frame we have to solve this issue, any viable solution must exhibit this exponential deployment increase.

(This does not mean we'll succeed. Maybe we're all doomed anyway. But any approach that doesn't have this shape is a disaster.)

If you actually care about this problem, the actual question is: how do we get nuclear onto that same exponential pathway that renewables are on? Fiddling around with our existing legacy nuclear plants is so inadequate to our emissions pathways right now that it's equivalent to surrender.
> Suburbs often have physical constraints with the way houses are laid out making this "stoop coffee" approach more difficult, if anything. Houses laid out in a way that you're more likely to drink your coffee on your back patio surrounded by a fence or hedges to avoid being seen.

This has not been my experience in the surburbs. A typical suburban home has both spaces: a front yard/patio and a back yard/patio. If anything the physical constraints are substantially more conducive to hanging out out front than what I'm seeing in these photos here—people in the suburbs have some amount of space that they actually own in front of their home, they don't have to occupy the sidewalk.

As OP said, which one people choose to use depends on the personality of the individual, not the layout of the space. For example: our last four homes, like every home in each neighborhood, have had both, and I always prefer to be out back while my wife loves being out front interacting with the neighbors as they walk by (which, yes, they have regularly done in all four neighborhoods!).

One of the main purposes of code review is to ensure that your code is understandable to other people. Good lead developers understand this. Bad ones find a way to push through their changes without review or get them rubber stamped, in my experience. Then you end up with big parts of the codebase that only the lead dev can work in productively.

Climbing towards NLU: On Meaning, Form, and Understanding in the Age of Data

Quoting the passage that I tend to remember:

>> While large neural LMs may well end up being important components of an eventual full-scale solution to human-analogous NLU, they are not nearly-there solutions to this grand challenge. We argue in this paper that genuine progress in our field — climbing the right hill, not just the hill on whose slope we currently sit —depends on maintaining clarity around big picture notions such as meaning and understanding in task design and reporting of experimental results.
The vast majority of bad outcomes of big systems are not because they’re principally designed for evil and just lacking a few dissenters.

Most systems today are intended to produce outcomes that most people agree would be good, and they’re full of people trying to achieve those outcomes, and yet reliably failing to produce them.

There have been books written about this topic as well, but it’s not as flashy as comparing “every system that produces some bad results” to actual Nazis, I have to admit.

> LLMs can not only add tons of log statements fast but parse the large output from a program faster.

Absolutely valid point, LLMs probably have an easier time adding log statements to the source code and parsing output from the console.

The debugger connection is "better" in certain cases because:
1. It avoids unnecessary diffs related to log statements. Currently, LLMs seem good at adding code, but forget to or struggle to delete code.
2. It avoids making logs noisy, although, admittedly, this can be managed with appropriate severity levels.
3. It provides more precise control over the program execution flow by stepping into, stepping over, and stepping out of lines.

Always a great opportunity to post my favorite passage of him about WWI- just hauntingly beautiful:

“See that little stream — we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it — a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind. And another empire walked very slowly backward a few inches a day, leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs. No Europeans will ever do that again in this generation.”

“Why, they’ve only just quit over in Turkey,” said Abe. “And in Morocco —”

“That’s different. This western-front business couldn’t be done again, not for a long time. The young men think they could do it but they couldn’t. They could fight the first Marne again but not this. This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. The Russians and Italians weren’t any good on this front. You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment going back further than you could remember. You had to remember Christmas, and postcards of the Crown Prince and his fiancée, and little cafés in Valence and beer gardens in Unter den Linden and weddings at the mairie, and going to the Derby, and your grandfather’s whiskers.”

“General Grant invented this kind of battle at Petersburg in sixty- five.”

“No, he didn’t — he just invented mass butchery. This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of Wurtemburg and Westphalia. Why, this was a love battle — there was a century of middle-class love spent here. This was the last love battle.”
