>the point I’m trying to make with my anecdote is that making $$$ isn’t the same as having $$$

This is very true but I feel like it misses the point. Making $$$ gives you resources to have many things that are outside the grasp of the majority. (Whether you squander that opportunity or not is up to you) There’s nothing wrong with that, but feeling like you are disadvantaged when you have access to more than most comes across as out of touch.

I think there’s probably some hedonic treadmill effects here. Thinking at one point in your life “if I can make $200k a year, I’ll be rich” and “feeling rich” once you get there may not align as often as we’d hope. But you likely live a rather “rich” lifestyle compared to those making $40k/yr. I also think there’s often comparative effects that reduce how it feels. $200k feels low once you realize your neighbor who owns a landscaping company pulls $400k.
SDKMAN! already supports the Microsoft Build

When all you do is to write a single opaque value in a register, and never use those bits again, it's slightly excessive to give each of them a name.
This also reflects in chipset documentation, which sometimes comes with pages and pages of "write X to register Y", and not much more.

The value is that the higher level structure is more easily visible when you know what is code and what is data (which is the main issue with disassembly), and the ability to quickly see that you haven't missed extra code that is executed in some sneaky place because everything in the output is accounted for somehow.

The options we have with coreboot are to have 8MB of unaccounted stuff, or 500KB of unaccounted stuff. The latter can be reverse engineered more easily, since the scope is known, and the complexity is a magnitude smaller (no code decompressing other code, jumping into it, ...). That was actually done for sandybridge. We even built tools to simplify reverse engineering (www.serialice.com)

As for the funnily named BDSM register: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/... calls it "Base Data of Stolen Memory". Essentially, both GPU and ME get assigned some system memory to work in, and that register contains the first address that isn't available to the CPU due to this arrangement.

That register itself is harmless. In older Intel chipsets, it was possible for the host CPU to get a peek into the ME's memory by messing with that register, which was used for some ME analysis in 2012 or 2013. Unfortunately they plugged that hole, and that register's role is more of the informative kind.
You reminded me of "Allegations regarding OpenBSD IPSEC" [0] which, WRT the recent news of the NSA (attempting to) compromise encrypted VPNs, makes me wonder a bit (although I don't believe the allegations in the linked e-mail).

I finally found an option in Firefox to change things around, but it still only changes the font and not actual foreground/background colors.
This is a chapter of the book:

Disease Control Priorities: Improving Health and Reducing Poverty. 3rd edition.

Jamison DT, Gelband H, Horton S, et al., editors.
Washington (DC): The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank; 2017 Nov 27.
"Jan. 21: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms the first coronavirus case in the United States."

Which country managed to get it under control it its own house since that date?
Camus actively rejected labeling his work as “existentialism”. It only frequently gets lumped into that category because of his relationship/friendship with Sartre and de Beauvoir and because some of his work contains existentialist-like themes. He was more accepting of the term “absurdism” for his work. But his work never fully aligned with existentialist thought.

“The Plague” is typically read as an allegory of the French resistance to the Nazi invasion and occupation of France, and an analysis of the relationship that humans have with authoritarianism, fascism, and how we can either help or hurt each other in times of crisis. Camus was also a humanist and believed that people were more good than evil (which he comments on in “The Plague”).

Source: I got my university degree in Philosophy and Camus was my main subject of interest/study for a number of years (and continues to be even now).
Metagenomics would solve these issues. Of course we have these problems when a new disease comes along if we have to invent new diagnostics for it. Metagenomics isn’t new, you just sequence the everything and look to see what DNA/RNA is in the environment. That’s orders of magnitude more data because it doesn’t require labels, you don’t need to know in advance what you’re looking for...

The devices to do this are getting cheaper faster than Moore’s law. Just takes the will to set up the programs
So basically nothing on this scale.
Of course not, I used gatsby.
> ... into arguments over the 21-foot rule ...

If anyone is wondering about this:

> Sergeant Dennis Tueller of the Salt Lake City Police Department wondered how quickly an attacker with a knife, or other melee weapon, could cover 21 feet (6.4 m), so he timed volunteers as they raced to stab the target. He determined that it could be done in 1.5 seconds. [...]

> A defender with a gun has a dilemma. If he shoots too early, he risks being accused of murder. If he waits until the attacker is definitely within striking range so there is no question about motives, he risks injury and even death. The Tueller experiments quantified a "danger zone" where an attacker presented a clear threat.[3]

One critique: Adam had to cock the gun to put a bullet in the chamber, while most people who carry a firearm probably do so fully loaded.
That's true, but there are usually multiple ways to compromise protected networks. You still need to protect the database against attacks that don't go through the app server.
Good job framing opposition to government-corporate censorship as a symptom of US self-importance!
Or, another possibility, even someone who can do favors.

It's said Pablo Escobar didn't need to arrange those escapes from prison: he didn't have to ask. It was done for him because he would be grateful to his benefactors.
Thanks! Yes you are right! Seems he/she is basically making the same point as I.
>What's it about geopolitics that makes it so interesting to you? It has always seemed like politicized BS to me.

Yeah, it's just how the lives of billions are organised, changed, and affected, no big matter...

>I think history shows quite well that once individuals and polities alike start on the path of pursuing/promoting some variety of economic freedom and classical liberal values (often including but not limited to what's known as liberal democracy), safety and stable cooperation become enough of a common interest to make most 'geopolitics' considerations quite irrelevant, and often misleading.

That's the very theory put forward just before 1914, about how a war in Europe was not possible anymore, because of "economic freedom and classical liberal values" promoting "safety and stable cooperation" between countries. The possibility of war was laughed at as "The big delusion". We know how that turned out.

Then there was the same idea, of the "end of history", with the triumph of "economic freedom and classical liberal values" put forward after the USSR collapsed. We also know how that turned out.

Historically, "economic freedom and classical liberal values" have been very good at war and fierce geopolitics.

The very idea of economy is competition.
I may be mistaken, but I always thought DNS resolution was handled by the underlying OS, and not by the browser through HTTP. Support from browser vendors would probably matter a great deal for this, but not at a technical/implementation level, right?
That’s an awful standard to measure anything against haha
It seems so rare that we have the opportunity to forge relationships with people far outside our own age ranges. What a great experience.
That would be possible, but other classes of cheating wouldn't be, like maphacks.

I work on a large open-plan floor. My two 24" screens completely fill my field of view. My earphones block my ears and fill them with beautiful, not very loud, flow-inducing music. A low wall separate my desk from passing people.

On the other hand, when I want to give my eyes some rest, I can focus on Manhattan high-rises in the window. When I need to talk to my colleagues face to face, or just see if they are at their desks, it is easy to do, too. If we need to talk for more than a minute, we could walk to the coffee point of to a meeting room.

I can imagine an open space implemented badly: people cramped together, with little elbow room, phone-talking sales reps next to code-laden programmers next to number-crunching financial guys, and no meeting rooms. I won't like such a setup either.

But from where I sit, the open space plan looks pretty okay.
Interesting. Curious, have you also had developers working on glossy Apple monitors and MacBook Pros with 8Gb of memory?

edit: a clarification. It is ridiculous to put backend/Linux developers on Macs with 8Gb of memory on which it is nearly impossible to run a virtual machine. And glossy monitors are very good for designers in light-controlled rooms, not so for developers, who can see every ceilings light in theirs.
>> "Needless to say, I sure wouldn't even want a smart phone from 6 years ago."

It covers all items though, not just smartphones. If I buy a fridge or an oven I expect it last 6 years minimum. Also, I'm regularly surprised by people using very old smartphones (4-5 years).
I went from private office to open floor plan when I switched jobs last. It was towards the bottom of things I cared about when I was considering the move.

Private offices are definitely nice, but I also enjoy the positives of an open office
I actually think something like this might be my ideal -- spurts of intense work, followed by several weeks of not working at all. This is what I tended to do on personal projects when I was younger. I think this could be a quite healthy, long-term sustainable way to arrange work.
Yeah, cutting costs and Taylorian big brotherism.

Effectively companies trade productivity for higher transparency and cheaper office space. What happened to the need to actually maximize productivity?

To give the benefit of doubt it is plausible people might confuse open plan offices with team rooms.
> The number grows exponentially with the complexity of the filter, so the runtime construction of SQL statements is inevitable.

You can still construct at runtime. Just let your typesystem handle the distinction between SQL code and data.
People think of houses in 15/20/30 year loans, so yeah payment is what matters. Few people are fortunate enough to be able to buy their first house with a 15 year loan. Interest rates moving are big drivers on house prices because long loans are greatly impacted by small moves.

Houses are nothing like cars. I haven't had a car payment in many years. I'm still a long ways from never having a house payment.
The contract with foreign contractors is NOT "1099".

AFAIK you do not have to file 1099 form in order to deduct foreign contractor expense from US business revenue.

I'm not a lawyer or CPA, but I run my own business and pay to foreign contractors.

I am a full stack boot camp graduate, been spending my time learning new technologies and experimenting with creative coding. As well as some tinkering with Iot and micro controllers :) I am open to an internship if the culture is fit, but ultimately looking for an entry level position. I am hungry to learn, and looking for community to create some awesome things.
F.A. Hayek[0] wrote in great depth about this "confabulation" (which he termed Scientism), and, ironically enough, lectured about it directly in his Nobel Prize speech of 1974[1].

"It can hardly be denied that such a demand quite arbitrarily limits the facts which are to be admitted as possible causes of the events which occur in the real world. This view, which is often quite naively accepted as required by scientific procedure, has some rather paradoxical consequences. We know: of course, with regard to the market and similar social structures, a great many facts which we cannot measure and on which indeed we have only some very imprecise and general information. And because the effects of these facts in any particular instance cannot be confirmed by quantitative evidence, they are simply disregarded by those sworn to admit only what they regard as scientific evidence: they thereupon happily proceed on the fiction that the factors which they can measure are the only ones that are relevant."

With ISOs, at least 2 years must lapse between the grant date and the employee’s sale of the stock, and at least one year must lapse between the exercise date and the sale of the stock. (This is a restriction - not related to capital gain treatment)

If NSOs are granted with a strike price equal to FMV, there are no taxes due until exercise. If granted at a discount, taxes are due on the difference between grant price and FMV.
If your goal is to reason about correctness, recursion can be a useful tool. Assembly... is not the hammer I'd bust out for that particular reasoning task.
As you can see, there is a lot of trust that is given to CAs. The whole cert security depends on it. The only (current) real remedy is the nuclear option - removing those CA's certs from the major browsers. Then the other side (Chinese browser vendors) can retaliate, of course. So negotiation is required to maintain detente.
I don't see how class="two-thirds columns" enforces coupling any stronger than using a different class name... what if that div only exists for the purposes of the grid layout? As long as the styles themselves are in CSS, how is it any different? I mean, of course if you just arbitrarily named the class with gibberish, that's no good -- but the point I'm trying to make is that the CSS classes exist to impart meaning to the designer (or the developer), not the end-user and not the screen readers and not search engine crawlers... so "two-thirds columns" is perfectly semantic because it is giving meaning to that div whose entire purpose in life is to be a two-thirds column in wide-screen view :)

I totally understand your point, and I'm kind of being obtuse for the sake of argument... but I do think the term "semantic" is thrown around without people really thinking about "semantic for whom" or "towards what purpose".
Ironically, ironically...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_1-2-3 (Decline)

"The inability to fit the larger code size of compiled C into lower-powered machines forced the company to split its spreadsheet offerings, with 1-2-3 release 3 only for higher-end machines, and a new version 2.2, based on the 2.01 assembler code base, available for PCs without extended memory. By the time these versions were released in 1989, Microsoft was well on its way to breaking through Lotus' market share"
That's actually a fun-sounding research project: train humans to classify those images. I'd be very interested to know if humans could learn to classify either sets of images. They might not look like a 'panda' to us, but there is some underlying pattern that a machine can pick out and apply the arbitrary label 'panda' to. Can a human learn that same pattern?
Agreed, the designers of X made some truly brilliant decisions.

Edit: I don't have a dog in the hunt on systemd but if it really is tight coupling then history might prove it was a bad decision. There was a lot of let's say strong opinions against Pulse Audio on Linux but I find (once we got through the growing pains) that it's a blessing. It's far superior to Windows 7's basic audio management in my opinion. I've no idea about Windows 8.

No. People make the mistake of thinking symbols are universal. They are not. Symbols are always interpreted in the context of the user's culture. A cross in the US might mean ambulance or hospital but it means something different in Turkey. Icons are not substitutes for internationalization. Floppy disk icon might not translate well in China given that it was dead by the time computers became common in China. It probably doesn't even translate well in the US with younger users.

Just be careful that you are choosing the right place to train and the correct training partners. In my (bad) experience it is hard to find a BJJ partner who has the same goals as you mentioned above. This I attribute not to the sport but the sudden popularity of UFC. Broken ribs and fingers tend to slow down productivity.

I take it you are browsing from outside the US? That may explain things.
I mean no offense, but here in the US, I never knew this directive existed, let alone how to comply with it. Will some group in the EU pay me to collect their taxes for them? If not, why should I bear the expense? And particularly so since I already have to bear the expense of my local tax laws. --Essentially, it seems this far reaching EU law exists to please some political purpose, like pretending to level a playing field, but as far as I know, it's mostly ignored or unknown outside of the EU (and possibly within the EU as well).
"With the exception of the STEM fields, I would argue that soft skills actually are more important than how smart you are."

Yeah that soil data mart is a whole other animal. Luckily I'm mostly on the agronomy side of things right now, focused on Nitrogen, so we just kinda skim the data for soil properties (such as hydrology) that we need and display the GIS plots as a visual aid for the user. Then it's just manipulating that data to show trends on the GIS plots that the user is interested in. Having that soil data sitting there in a free and consistent format makes my job a hell of a lot easier, as I'm sure you found with the nutrient db.

I've recently started playing with Json (well, Google's Gson anyway) myself for a mobile application I'm working on so this may be a nice learning experience for me, but I'll dive into your source a little more this weekend and maybe try to knock an issue or 2 off your repo's list :)
Nobody has problem with putting bad guys into prisons. All civilized societies do this.

What I/we have a problem with is that everybody is treated as guilty, spied on etc.

This becomes even bigger problem when you consider that most governments consider anyone that is not with them to be their enemy. So in essence If you don't 100% agree and support government you are an enemy and then anything goes (spying, dronestrikes, ...).

Additionally I am not American, I don't even get a vote, but i am beeing spied on, and If I make to much fuzz them might decide to drone me. (As far as I know they haven't killed any EU citizens, but I doubt they would think twice). They also keep expanding who they go after, first it was just the Al Kaida and other terrorist, now its pretty much anyone USA doesn't like. So to put it bluntly I as a EU citizen am far more scared of USA than Al Kaida.

Correct -- the base OS would auto-update, but with how it works today, you would still need to upgrade your own containers.

I don't believe this problem of updating dependencies in containers will last forever -- its pretty reasonable that you could mark some dependency as "auto-updatable" in your own container -- then when there is an OpenSSL issue, the base container OS is upgraded, and your app restarted.

The early RaspberryPi's are/were excellent for experimenting with when trying to squeeze performance out of it, I managed to get one to clock up to close to 2Ghz which was that mythical beast to get past whilst remaining stable (no cpu heatsinks or fans) and the cpu scheduling certainly affects performance on them, but it affects all the main cpu's and OS near enough. So what works on Windows can be applied to Linux and vice versa.

This gives a nice overview, and adjusting the Quantum can certainly help any CPU but like the same on the Rpi, its possible to get to a point where the quantum is degrading performance noticeably and I think this has helped pc sales enormously.
