We seem to have arrived at a set of assumptions that states that if a large number of people like something that we don’t, or don’t subscribe to some cultural norms that we doggedly adhere to, then there has to be something sinister afoot.

To be fair, losing your job in America is a lot scarier than in most countries; especially when your whole industry is affected and your skill set has become obsolete. There’s not much of a social safety net to catch you.

They have their own models, the Nova series, although my experience has been pretty mixed with them.

Elixir's Phoenix LiveView + PubSub covers a lot of these bases out of the box.

AI companies are hugely motivated to show beyond-human levels of intelligence in their models, even if it means flubbing the numbers. If they manage to capture the news cycle for a bit, it's a boost to confidence in their products and

You don't need a driver to read that kind of data anyway, so your concerns are moot. Once you install any application on your PC, there's not a lot that it can't access.

I’d recommend using something like Tailscale for these use cases and general access, there’s no need to expose services to the internet much of the time.

You forget that America is the cause of many countries’ problems, see the Middle East and South America for prime examples.

That's an incredibly naive perspective. KLA represents a real risk to companies, as something going wrong can crash player computers instead of just game processes; this is a PR nightmare if/when it happens on a large scale. Not t

I don’t think millionaires losing some money is sufficient punishment for hundreds of lives lost. What’s so crazy about prosecuting individuals?

It doesn't need it, it wants it in exchange for setting up fabrication capacity in the U.S, where it would otherwise be uneconomical to do so.

In this case I think it's a little different. People are saying that they don't want to have their own productive or creative output used to undermine their own standard of living. That's not the same as simply not wanting to

Well, yes. But I'd say that the direct harm caused by her particular brand of fraud, combined with how utterly ham-fisted it was, also plays a part.

I'd consider myself to be one of these developers. I don't blog, I don't Tweet, and my public GH contributions are sparse at best. I'm a fairly senior engineer in a large company. What bothers me about this post is the i

It's depressing how poor most of the ratings are. Landlords really don't have to put any effort in at all.

VAC probably sets up a hardware breakpoint conditioned to trigger when the start of that memory region is read. When triggered, a function registered via AddVectoredExceptionHandler will be called. It probably just sets some flag somewhere

This is one reason why I decided to switch to ProtonMail a couple of years ago as the account backing most of my internet services. Given that I pay them money, I figure they’re at least somewhat invested in keeping me happy as a customer.

Your conflating harming people with causing them anger is very much part of the problem. 'Harm' used to mean something much more severe; now it basically means anything at or above pissing someone off. The same concept creep has o

I like this idea, however I think the event ID being encoded in the response body places constraints on what each element looks like. Perhaps it would make more sense to encode the last ID/feed position in a response header and have th

Looks like their health check logic also sucks, just like mine.

Not a great comparison. A researcher does not work for a company, a researcher is basically a mercenary; they'll go where the money is. If a company pays too little relative to its peers, or fails to pay out too often due to fine-print

I appreciate the effort that goes into articles like this, but they always seem to be based on the unproven hypotheses of the author. I'd appreciate more it if authors would reach out to the community via, say, LinkedIn and survey deve

That’s really not what it is. Live View is a replacement for most of what you can do with JS, but isn’t great for everything. The browser connects to the server via web socket and a process is started to manage the DOM state. Diffs are sent

Literally no part of this comment is true. They’re not hidden and they’re not malicious. They’re also very much required, because a user mode anti-cheat is trivially circumvented by a kernel mode cheat. The only way to defeat cheats is to w

I feel sympathy for the maintainer here, but at the same time I feel as though they've cultivated a very unhealthy relationship with the users of this project. If the users aren't paying you, you really don't owe them anythin
