No u ;) Just Sqeaky. I think the relationship between hiring and firing and interviewing is a little more subtle than a strict if/then statement. It can be impossible to know up front if it will be easy to fire someone. Some people can

I have more than 20 years of experience and I manage to find time to do leet code exercises before I interview. I'm saying that testing people for their skill, in any way, will have imperfections and will wind up excluding people. If i

It is my experience that caution during the hiring process means skipping on possibly excellent people to accidentally prevent hiring a dud. There are plenty of both on the job market most of the time. In practice firing people is hard at m

Do I really want a mix of programmers on my project? That's a very sweeping blanket statement and you're putting a lot of your beliefs on to other people. The smoothest projects I've worked on were always full of nothing but

Doesn't a take-home task also prevent any chance to ask questions in the middle? And I mean questions both ways. An interviewee can ask questions about the code base that might be common knowledge to people on the team and an interview

No one is claiming expertise is permanent. But some people know more things than others in select topics. And no one is perfect but someone who has more knowledge and has spent more time studying a thing is more likely to get it right. You

Person wilfully chooses germs and hearing loss and tooth decay. Not they want to do the good thing but fail somewhere, they just want the bad thing. Maybe they are just too dumb to value their opinion. Ignoring the computers is reasonable,

Yeah, exactly. They're not being assholes they're making minor suggestions. They requesting minor wording changes and how the thing says it doesn't work outside a chrome. If people aren't allowed to say that then people

They chose to publicize their hobby project and put it in front of a bunch of people it doesn't work for, they can expect criticism from people doesn't work for.

And that information is clearly irrelevant and misleading in this context.

Real hardware running midrange AMD only CPUs? This doesn't hit Intel or AMDs Epyc or Threadripper.

But that doesn't persist through reboots, does it?

This isn't catastrophic this is clickbait bullshit. The attacker needs ring 0 privileges, this enables someone with kernel level access to right to the firmware. That's not good, but it's not catastrophic either

Oh my god, is this a level headed comment based on the actual technical merit?!

by sqeaky 2y ago
Why? I'm anal about security and this barely registers with me but not as something to be angry about. Somebody with ring 0 privileges (a prereq for this) on your CPU already has root and you have to presume they've already had th

I have no information that conflicts with what you posted but none of that indicates that the CPU gets written to. Consider that even things like CPU microcode don't get stored on the CPU, it's simply doesn't have persistent

I find the article compelling. He cited a lot of other articles, isn't making outrageous claims, provided concrete numbers, and isn't spinning unrealistic conspiratorial claims. The only core feature of human behavior we need to a

I think a solution is something the government needs to do, I don't believe there is a free market solution to a problem caused specifically by a free market.

I encourage you to build a more reliable space plane. Please link me to your blog and I will read your updates daily.

And then we find a new category of bug, consider how we ran millions of different programs for many billions of CPU hours on all of our x86 CPUs before we learned about Spectre and meltdown.

No snaps, better reliability during upgrades, more trustworthy devs. That was enough for me to switch some of my machines.

This!! People keep trying to look at war economics as each side spending a dollar to cost the other a dollar. Really it is a countless series of wildly inequitable exchanges. Sometimes you waste a cruise missile on a single dude because tha

I'm not sure why people keep considering the cost of the target like this. In the grand strategic scope it sort of matters. If you want to win a war economically you need to inflict more damage on them than they can afford, but a lot o

Nothing is too expensive when the alternative is death. We'll see it again as soon as two super powers are engaged in an active shooting war.

Oh yeah, not trying to say this level of failure is normal. Puget getting 5% failures, or thereabouts, is a typical historical failure rate and they are getting it by being more conservative than others. Ending else is running more aggressi
