Managing notifications properly? There is no proper management of notifications. Either you store them completely out of sight (and thus are not notifications, but messages), or they interrupt you without taking into account how important

Does anyone have a link to the full paper? When I read the abstract, it doesn't even mention the word calorie.

I think they aren't stating well what makes the work grueling. It's not about the weight of the items, it's about the systems amazon uses to grade/rate the workers. I've worked plenty of menial jobs, and the ones th

I really like a recent thing I read about adult development from Robert Kegan. These go in order in his model, and these are kind of adult development levels to "achieve".. which of course itself leads to a discussion of Kegan&#x2

They are proposing that countries where it is very lucrative and popular to write spyware for money are also countries where golang is popular, thus making it a social reason as to why they are getting written in golang as opposed to any te

Once the driver doesn't exist in the kernel (vfio/iommu), and you have processes and threads and efence/mprotect, this all doesn't make sense for practical purposes. The author's reasoning just doesn't hold up

That is a trade-off for false negatives rather than false positives. It is not an unreasonable choice when dealing with certificates.

So an attack against one challenge doesn't deterministically succeed.

Entirely a sales problem.. but your next line you mention that engineers have significant troubles using current tools. Sounds like it's not just a sales problem to get novices to use distributed branch management correctly.. but maybe

by codemac 9y ago
It is an incredible failure of modern version control systems that distributed branching means that they're impossible for novices to use. However, if you see github.com as a proprietary UI for git, it looks almost exactly like putting

You should really read the attached paper. The whole point is that it takes total cost of ownership (i.e. all those other metrics / factors you list) into account, and function points instead of lines of code.. Capers Jones measures th

It keeps saying I'm in "incognito mode" and not allowing me to view the page. I have an ad blocker, so I can only assume they think that because the google ad services aren't loading, that I'm browsing incognito.

EFI allows for OS's to modify probably too much, and the state of EFI implementations aren't defensive enough. I personally would blame Lenovo for releasing something so brick-able.

It's good to see the Go authors spending more of their time implementing a system using Go. It should inform any deeper changes with Go 2, hopefully.

Something that is kind of unique to Go is it's crypto libraries. Using the crypto libraries in some useful way would be interesting. A cool one might be using the golang.org/x/crypto/ssh to ssh around, and send shell com

That's not the impression I got from lawyers in the past, but I think I just have a lot of fear in the area. Getting real legal advice for this is something I should probably do.

Because you "stealing" IP does not require that you stole anything intentionally, it matters when you happened to do the same thing. There are patents for things like paxos, TCP, "network servers" and everything else. If

It depends -- how would we price things when everything takes 0 labor from humans? Because I bet the price changes drastically , and that's the labor-value represented in object.

by codemac 9y ago
Exactly, which is why Marx uses the concept of a labor value, use value, and exchange value. Labor is what's gone in, use is the inherent/intrinsic value in the object, and exchange value is what people will trade in exchange for

This is the exact same conclusion Marx came to about labor.
