The article is mentioning Instagram as an amplifier of this need to fake being happy. But I think Facebook is responsible for it as well. I was once talking to a colleague who was showing me some old vacation pictures. Some tropical area. I

If you really want to make it easy to understand, make it graphical. That is: benchmark the code, varying the input size, and plot the results. Almost anyone should be able to understand. This might also reveal effects that are not taken in

When I read the title I thought: this must be yet another closed question. But this is actually posted on their blog. Too bad that you cannot discuss such topics on Stackoverflow. It’s an interesting topic, and it would cause an useful deba

Other comments say that Chromium is affected as well. Is it? I reread the article, but it doesn’t seem to state it explicitly.

Thank you for posting all the info here. And I’m glad that you managed to fix the problem. I think it must have caused you a lot of stress.

So CI, automated tests, SCM, small patches, API docs, stand ups and the ability to take breaks. This is not a “highly effective environment”, it’s the bare minimum to have a functional environment. Might have been good advice in the late 90

What about false positives? From the fine article: one Google system was detecting emails coming from another Google system as phishing. This is ridiculous.

Sad. I have often switched to Chromium whenever a Chrome update was breaking various websites I used. Chromium is lagging a bit behind in repositories; some delay is enough to let the website owners update. Then I can switch back to Chrome

Empirically, it is much faster than Python, but I don’t know either if the opcodes have anything to do with it.

I agree with you, but moving to Switzerland is not a very good solution to achieve that. Salaries are high there only because the cost of living is much higher than neighboring countries. The country is very small, so demand for workers is

This reminds me of this post from the hostifi founder, sharing the code they used for the first 3 years: https://twitter.com/_rchase_/status/1334619345935355905 It’s just 2 files. Sometimes it’s better to focus on

I had a similar problem with a rented bike. Once I reached the destination station I tried to hook it into the parking thingy, but it didn’t lock. Luckily I noticed. However, the bike computer didn’t think it was rented anymore, so it didn’

Not sure if you followed the links I posted, but as Poettering said, the problem is that there are collisions in UUIDs. UUID generation should be robust to random number collisions.

They are using it only to generate UUIDs. They could have avoided collisions using the clock or even a counter as part of the uuid. But for some reason systemd is always creating a lot of drama before they accept they were wrong and fix the

Some questions that come to mind: 1. Why does systemd implement its own random number generation code? https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/27231dc14c925935b669... 2. systemd uses RDRAND to generate UUIDs
