Selinux and AppArmor?

Android has it figured out too.


Have you ever tried to fix an application that was getting denied based on SELinux policies? It's a cryptic nightmare. You run a tool that gives you some magic string and hope that it works because nobody really understands what's going on. If that doesn't work you're in a world of pain. Almost as bad as Microsoft's ACLs.

"I don't care about x" clearly indicates a lack of want but is considered ruder than "I don't want x".

I suspect that whether it's considered more rude will vary by culture, but yes I think "I don't care about x" is a way to specify a lack of want in contrast to a negative want. It's also probably the most common way, but still used rarely I find, maybe because people consider it more rude.

Many of my university classmates would give up on more than one paragraph so I'd say we're already there.

I have a modest proposal for dealing with future unemployment.

There are too many people in power right now who I wouldn't put it past to take that proposal seriously.

Ha ha, yes. You should write that up as a pamplet somewhere.

I've been using it for a few years on Gentoo. There were challenges with Python 2 years ago, but over the past year it's stabilized and I can even do img2video which is the most difficult local inference task so far.

Performance-wise, the 7900 xtx is still the most cost effective way of getting 24 gigabytes that isn't a sketchy VRAM mod. And VRAM is the main performance barrier since any LLM is going to barely fit in memory.

Highly suggest checking out TheRock. There's been a big rearchitecting of ROCm to improve the UX/quality.


Bought a Radeon r9700. 32GB vram and it does a good job.

An unused parameter should be commented out.

Unless it’s there to conform to an interface

Especially if it's there to conform to an interface. You can comment out the variable name and leave the type.

"shall" recommendations are statically analyzed, "will" are not.

Stack "allocations" are basically free.

No. And they're unsafe. Avoid them at all costs.

In hard real-time software, you have a performance budget otherwise the missile fails.

It might be more maintainable to have leaks instead of elaborate destruction routines, because then you only have to consider the costs of allocations.

Java has a null garbage collector (Sigma GC) for the same reason. If your financial application really needs good performance at any cost and you don't want to rewrite it, you can throw money at the problem to make it go away.


How has the Section 174 elimination of 5-year amortization for domestic SWE salaries impacted decisionmaking on whether to hire overseas?

Since overseas workers are still subject to 15-year amortizations I'm wondering if people are getting pulled in from Canada.


Those are excellent questions but really more directed to those hiring at tech companies. From my limited perspective, I haven't an impact on hiring.
