Yes, obviously I meant Fortune Global 500. The point stands.

During covid WFH, my partner and I moved to Berlin for three months to study German. We stayed on the seventh floor of a nice apartment building, where the elevator broke on the second day of our stay. The owner of the apartment offered us

Germany hasn't created any new Fortune 500 companies in a long time, and it (I grant you, along with the rest of Europe) is increasingly lagging behind the US and South East Asia. 10-20 more years like this and the gap between Germany

I was with you until the analogy to electromagnetism and time dependency. I admittedly don't have a PhD in physics (undergrad astrophysics), so I possibly won't understand your answer, but isn't gravitomagnetism more of a use

Not really, that’s just the same guy writing a PDF. It’s not cited, peer reviewed or published in a journal. It’s literally just a dude writing stuff on the internet - that’s not necessarily a problem, but there are literally tens of thousa

I mean, look - arguing about what happens inside the even horizon is kind of fun but ultimately pointless. Just FYI, the site you linked in the parent comment does not represent anything I’d call mainstream physics.

Huh? What are you saying: you don’t think there are black holes? Edit: the page you linked is a random dude who keeps publishing on a single topic that mainstream physics has been mostly ignoring. I wouldn’t go as far as call him a crackpot

The actual paper is here: https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.181301 The summary says almost nothing, so here’s what I got from the abstract. First some context: we currently don’t have any physics th

I think you have the arrow of time backwards. Technology seems to be getting less reliable, not more so. Every time my laptop manages to connect to a hotspot it's a small miracle.

Ah, yeah! There have been some new features in eBPF over the past few years, without which the bpflsm would be a lot less useful. None of this was done /specifically/ for the LSM, AFAIK, but all of it is relatively new and I think
311.
by t8sr 4y ago
With many of these bypasses, the usage of eBPF is incidental. TOCTOU issues, Seccomp's limitations, process hollowing (what the author describes as an execution bypass) etc. are all real problems, but they were real problems before eBP

Arguably the most common line of code in Go, ‘if err != nil’ is doing what you’re saying you should never do in the language: check if an interface value is nil. (And, in fact, care must be taken when returning custom error types precisely

Sorry, I think "system" is an overloaded term. I'm not talking about "thread X changed my state", I'm talking about a scenario where the physics system wants to move the player collider, but you want to control

Oh I agree with you: memory bugs are annoying and I've had my share of them. My contention is that, while they waste time here and there, the biggest problems are 1 or 2 layers of abstraction up. I've probably spent 10x more time

Hah, I'd forgotten about that (I haven't touched Unreal in a couple of years). You're right, that would be a huge win.

Why do specifically Rust programmers think that people in every domain are just misguided and waiting for someone to teach them the right development practices? The sheer hubris… The kind of bugs that games mostly struggle with these days h

The issue is not with being direct, but with instructing the interviewer to "please list the exact steps and time estimates for each." It smacks of self-importance and arrogance, and the way it's phrased strongly suggests the

As others point out, some of these are quite naive. (E.g. at many companies you have a large monorepo, so the "git clone" comment is silly, etc.) What really gets me, though, is the tone. There's a nice way to probe for organ

Oh look, an internet expert. Since you’re so confident, what makes the business model not viable, exactly? Is a complicated kind of non-viability that’s somehow plastered over by the company’s wild profitability?

To me, that mostly reads like a UX report. This person admits he has no musical education, and just wants to play - the issue seems to be that reading a score maybe shouldn’t require a degree in musical theory, the same way that using a pie

To quote the philosopher Costanza: “we live in a society!” Not letting people know what you’re thinking is good advice if you’re in the mafia, not if you’re trying to raise a child or work at a company. After reading this article, I sincere

Octrees divide space into regular sized chunks. BVH divides space into chunks of varying size, but with a balanced population of bodies in each. The idealized BVH divides the population by 2 at each level. Compared to octrees, BVHs deals we

It isn’t really known whether QM is deterministic or not. In the 90s (before my time), I think the majority view was that it’s not, but more recently there are signs that all “interpretations” aren’t really equivalent after all, and some de

Since you asked for feedback: Good style guides contain rationale, weigh pros and cons and then make a recommendation. For example, you say "use an assert library", but why? You make an assertion (har har) about consistent error o

You know, it's interesting to me how much people fixate on garbage collection. Taking Go as example, there are many pitfalls to using it in low-level situations, but the GC is, in practice, never a source of significant issues. The rea

Probably not, but it's a question of degree. The projects I work on don't get monthly requests to drop everything and rewrite them in Haskell/Clojure/Go but we do get them for Rust. An anecdote: I recently opened a posit
