Ah, money laundering, the international past-time-space-crime.

About damn time, IMO. But as I fix nVidia's bugs, I'm obviously ignorant of anything impacting Serious Cryptographic Engineering.

I refuse to respond to anyone who believes esr over jwz or other pr gnus services, personally. But I never "matriculated" into MIT or CSAIL, despite having direct connections to the Fine Institutes of the Commonwealth of the People's Commeanweal de Cambervillained of Nouveaux Anglishteary Albion Perfidioux. I just picked up their trash in the 90s-2000s and failed out of my BA/BSc+MFA.

Or in more direct langauge: the Tech Model Railroad Club was not the only group that were bigger fans of safe operations of tiny tracks and switchways. SNCF and the rest of Europe use different lingo for consists and that's life and safety critical training even with duplo blocks.

I think I should have said "Psychiatric/Psychology Doctorate holder"

Quelle suprise, je dit-on. (Yes, that is indeed what I said, for the English-only crowd)

A hand-rolled LISP or Prolog variant. You don't want to know it, I promise, because it usually means I'm now your independent security or network/audio systems review consultant.

Slight bit of additional context for those who can't be bothered to click the link at all: Shelf Stories is presented by a doctor of psychology who uses that lens to examine his primary hobby of physical games. As a game designer and programmer/implementer: I'm much more inclined to trust him on the psychology side and he usually gets how things relate to games pretty well too.

Ah yes, a great response here: "Please don't be racist towards people different than you" with a reference to one of the greatest wealth and race based forms of discrimination the world has known. I'm not at all against the peoples and cultures that suffered under Marxist-Leninist or Marxist-Leninist-Maoist domination and oppression from 1917 to today. But I refuse to tolerate the idea that a group meeting with HR is anything like the actual "struggle sessions"/"denunciation rallies": - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denunciation_rally - https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9ance_de_lutte - https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%89%B9%E9%AC%A5

Using that term to describe a meeting for a few hours over hot or cold non-alcoholic beverages is not only showing ignorance of history, it's demonstrating that you tolerate and embed racist notions of the unimportant of the real suffering of Chinese and other peoples relative to the minor burden of on the job training, especially if you do more of the white-collar end of technical work.

Read a few books on the history of that term before using it again, or I have to assume that you literally would rather scare off anyone who has a heritage of suffering under ML/MLM domination rather than hire someone who is considered part of your in-group.

And as someone who is in a real sense a convert to Judaism not from it: I am 110% unsurprised to see this get downvoted. It is simply not safe online in many spaces where we discuss complex techincal issues, especially in games (electronic or otherwise) to center the experiences of more powerful, more affluent, less Jewish, more "properly" white perspectives.

In startups we do this every single time we choose countries with complex racial histories (like everywhere, but for example Canada and New Zealand) and then try to target for affluence or similar markets rather than serving the downtrodden. That sort of behavior embeds some negative values imo.

This video is not for converting the racists, it's for talking to people who don't want the racists to win. Period. I think Jean-Paul Sartre was right when it comes to Réflexions Sur la Question Juive / The Anti-Semite and Jews: “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

There is no convincing them. They argue in bad faith. White Replacement Theory is at its core both anti-semitic, anti-black, anti-"outsider/other". It is not responsive to data, it is responsive to being rejected by those of us who are listening hard enough that those motivated by anti-semitic, racist nonsense eventually hear it. Genuine human connection, not just charts.

Obviously this discussion is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS to post online, so this video is not mine and not my perspective but: #meToo, every time I, as a Cajun lady, walk into any kind of game store, tobacconist, gas station, or grocery store in the United States of America.

American friends keep saying over and over and over again that this is "unique" to American culture but I have never felt this under threat in any country I've ever been in with the possible exception of Austria/Poland between 2014-2021. I am so used to "hackers" in the MIT/CSAIL sense covering up the damage of other academics in order to protect "their own" and it's not ever been cool, and I refuse to respond to anyone who expects me to reply to anything here ever in Yiddish.

Note: while this is an old submission, as it is still May, it is worth noting: this was obviously insufficient to guarantee safe generation of truly random results to many people who played “Risk”, “Diplomacy”, or other “Serious Games” that involve death and dismemberment since before AR/VR was “finally ready” for Oculus or Meta.

Be careful: NetOps/NetEng/NetSRE knows to look here too. 23!eris::::::::, NANOG is not the only cabal.

So many Google engineers have asked this question and run into the same answer: the org chart prevents real action towards unifying services across Alphabet’s holdings. Sometimes that’s a bad thing, but in many cases I would expect regulatory compliance in local areas to trump other kinds of safety concerns.

Note: I am a Xoogler and was far more concerned about the state of the organization in early 2016 than in any year since I was “hired” as an L3 Engineer in Network Software Engineering and Testing in Google’s Cloud division. While I do not expect that to mean anything, it does mean that politics and workplace safety matter more to me than most people. Google paid me less in total compensation over that time than anywhere else I have worked internationally. Alphabet Women decided to walk out separate from issues with Maven, Dragonfly, TCP, BBR, BBRv2, Stadia, and other “magic” features that clearly risked lives long before Waymo admitted that even DeepMind can’t “solve” self-diving cars any better than ReCaptcha’s success rate.

I'm unsure why this took so long to be published here; the pre-print versions were also very clear about this with regards to other tranquilizers with similar methods of activity/chirality.

NB: I am a senior network security software engineer with a B.A. currently applying for Ph.D.s. I suggest that nobody believe anything online, regardless of provenance, until 10 years after publication.

I don't usually post tweets online, but I worked with Tariq while employed at Google, so I'm inclined to believe him.

This will probably not go as well for Netflix as they would like. Everyone I know who streams games online seriously does not trust Netflix.com any more than justin.tv

Posted again here despite its great age because "Moderate by hand versus by statistical inference" debates go back to at least the invention of NNTP[0] but flare up here and on lobste.rs/reddit every September/December/January.

This broadcast was an essential part of my daily life when I lived in Houston. It's one of the most inspiring productions UH does

Thanks so much for this! I was looking for some nice helpers that weren't keeping me away from shaders the way that three.js does.

One minor nitpick: not sure how best to contribute to this based on your github. Do you prefer pull requests or the like?

For most applications where you want these, I've found that skip lists give you most of the performance advantages you want at a far lower complexity to implement and debug. Yeah, it's a probabilistic algorithm, but if you know the distribution well enough to tune correctly (and I usually do for things like time series and high scores) the performance is much better than LLRBT while also being rather cache-friendly, which is overlooked in a lot of implementations of RBTs.

Software security is an engineering problem. If your threat model includes the attacker knowing how you generate your passwords (and it probably should for most companies — insiders and disgruntled staff are a big risk), this scheme may not be significantly better than using 1password or a similar password safe on a device you know you/your employees will always have on them. That's not to say you're wrong, it's just that you're making trade offs here like in any other engineering problem.

If I were to find issues, would you prefer bug reports via github issues or some other mechanism?

This isn't hard data, but amongst my friends in the South Bay it seems to be about 1 year unless there's real promise of upside in the startup. It's just hard to keep talented people if the company seems to be foundering in the shoals, given that there is so much demand for good engineers.

The NetBSD is also a great starting point for people who want to port to weird architectures. It's simple and a little old fashioned, but it's in the sweet spot for most bootstrappable C compilers for memory-constrained devices. This or dmalloc are usually the easiest to get up and running on a device where you can't or don't want to trust the system libraries.

You need to talk to a lawyer about this. There are plenty of good lawyers out there who will give you a short consultation without costing you much. There's unfortunately not enough detail here for good advice to come from HN and you're likely to prejudice any proceedings if you reveal too much here.

In short: get to a lawyer. Search for grellas's posts about who to talk to cheap.

All of the best leads I've had as an independent developer have come from folks I met briefly at networking events or on other contracts.

As a rather introverted person, it's hard for me to go to a lot of these, but going to ones where there's interesting things being discussed either in tech or business has been worthwhile. One of the big lessons I've learned is that everyone's startup is mediocre until it turns out not to be. Being polite and helping folks at these things have helped me more than assuming folks are wannabes.

I wish I had a better answer than "I make one up as needed", but I have more of a filking ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filk_music ) background than any actual musical training.
