Fallujah and Mosul (post occupation, but they provided artillery and air support, so...)

The most popular tool in HashiCorp's ecosystem that wasn't written by them was written by a consulting firm who hated HashiCorp's UX

Which tool is that?

On a related note, Vault has a really excellent API. A joy.

I really don't understand why people are pretending the licensing makes any difference here.

The Russian speaking news sphere has been super mad about Kosovo for years, this isn't a new thing invented for the invasion.

I mean, they have a HSR system and we have a Tutor Perini Yacht Slush Fund.

New York has an astonishing number of police per capita compared to the west coast. That seems like the biggest, most obvious structural difference.

The worst thing about this process is that no one can even figure out how to stop it. The joy of ballot measures.

Certainly a less edgy name for a podcast than "cumtown".

Have you gone down the fancy selvedge denim route? A lot of that stuff is overbuilt and might make you happy.

I mean, it happened in 2019 with the big wildfires, and it happened when Gray Davis was governor in like... 2003? It's not really a regular thing.

The secret is to have your employer buy you a brand new top spec MacBook Pro every two years, then it's fast enough and doesn't bother you. That's also what all the Electron devs are doing.

“Your grand-granddad was a torturer for the KGB” should be public knowledge, and it should be to the youths to decide what to do with that knowledge. It is not anybody’s to hedge.

Why though? If the great grandkid isn't torturing anyone, why should they be held responsible for that? They literally were not present and could do nothing to prevent it.

The dry goods store seems poised for a comeback- no customer access to goods, you order at the counter.

You could do it all with people, you could run it like a giant vending machine, you could do a hybrid thing- but you reduce exposure for your workers, and if things get real bad you can always install those giant bulletproof plexiglass things.

The Java problem is that you wind up in a blame game where one team blames the code and the other blames the GC settings and you wind up doing a lot of fruitless flailing. No knobs really cuts down on that nonsense.

Being forced into the cash economy means being victimized by crime.

The flower, vegetable, and mushroom farms near me don't have to deal with that. The farm that grows baby Marijuana plants has to hold a bunch of cash and gets robbed. This is California, so it's all theoretically legal, but it's not equal.

"Tech Work" really doesn't mean anything. Being a sales person is terrible, but it's totally unlike being a backend engineer or working in HR or doing marketing.

Probably they are required to. There are lots of required-to-track stats, and it's almost always required to track by race in the US.

IIRC AMD commits a large volume of generated data for drivers, so it's maybe not precisely what most people think of when they think of lines of code.

As a Californian, if the demand is there, it will eventually bid up trash fire apartments to 2k a month, even if they're still colocated with violence and bad schools, you don't need to induce any demand with development.

Probably they want to handle wheat waste and corn waste long term. Seems like there should be plenty of both to go around

The end of that inflationary period coincided with oil prices dropping, which isn't really something Volcker had any control over. Real supply shocks really are real supply shocks.

The report is pretty interesting-

The NTRU Prime submission [60], which consists of two structured-lattice-based cryp- tosystems, was first proposed in [231] as an exploration of the design space of “NTRU- like” cryptosystems, with the goal of reducing the attack surface with only minor loss of efficiency. Design. NTRU Prime has several unusual design features. It has two variants: Streamlined NTRU Prime, which is modeled after the original NTRU, and NTRU LPRime, which com- bines some aspects of NTRU with some aspects of Ring-LWE cryptosystems (in the style of Lyubashevsky-Peikert-Regev [150]). In addition, NTRU Prime is constructed over a dif- ferent ring: the “NTRU Prime ring,” Zq[x]/(x p −x−1). Finally, certain key parts of NTRU Prime are designed to operate deterministically (e.g., using rounding rather than random noise and eliminating the possibility of random decryption failures). The submitters have argued that these features improve the security of the scheme. Security. The current version of NTRU Prime has performance and concrete security es- timates (e.g., quantitative estimates of the computational resources required for usage and cryptanalysis) that are roughly comparable to other lattice-based cryptosystems.13 As a result, the current version of NTRU Prime is notable more for its unusual design features, and claims that it offers higher security in a qualitative sense. In order to state these claims, the designers of NTRU Prime have advocated for a spe- cific approach to security analysis, based on a taxonomy of security risks [15]. This taxon- omy is used to justify various design decisions, such as using rounding rather than random noise, and eliminating the possibility of decryption failures. However, some care is needed when reading this taxonomy, as it is a matter of subjective judgement which risks are the most serious and what is the best way of mitigating those risks. One particular issue is the choice of the NTRU Prime ring (rather than a cyclotomic ring), which is claimed to eliminate the possibility of certain kinds of algebraic attacks. To date, most work on the cryptanalysis of algebraically structured lattices (see Appendix C) has focused on cyclotomic rings, because they are widely used and simpler to analyze. Relatively little is known about the security of cryptographic schemes that use the NTRU Prime ring.

...

Overall assessment. The case for NTRU Prime relies substantially on the claim that its unusual choice of ring provides a security benefit over the algebraic structures used by the other lattice candidates, i.e., the claim that (1) there is likely to be an attack that signifi- cantly diminishes the security of NTRU, KYBER, and Saber, and (2) no similar attack is likely to affect NTRU Prime. At the end of the third round, the evidence for these two points is not particularly convincing. No algebraic attack has been published that directly impacts the concrete or asymptotic security of any of the third-round structured lattice can- didates.14 From a practical perspective, it seems likely that an unexpected breakthrough in cryptanalysis of any structured lattice scheme would reduce the community’s confidence in all such schemes, including NTRU Prime. For these reasons, NIST is not moving NTRU Prime to the fourth round of the evalua- tion process. In order to hedge against the possibility of a security vulnerability involving structured lattice KEMs, NIST will consider standardizing a KEM that is not based on lattices, after a fourth round of evaluation.

So, incredibly, unbelievably close.

Ian Lance Taylor worked on generics for like a decade, and the final design was heavily based on the Featherweight Go paper, which had formal proofs of the design given a simplified version of the go language. This is a very odd complaint around this feature.
