I love your story! and thanks for the resume.

I am basic level coder and I have a degree in biological engineering. I haven't practiced Engineering a long time. My strengths are project management or operations. I would love to work for companies like Tesla or Faraday Future.
They considered that option in late 80s while working on NT kernel and decided not to do that. Instead POSIX services became a standalone subsystem running in user mode.
Thanks for the website. I will PM you!
I'm actually having trouble finding any exact law, so in the interest of accuracy, I'll admit I could be wrong about French law here. This Wikipedia article says

"Chest and private parts must be covered except near bathing zones. Burqa banned."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothing_laws_by_country

Another article I read mentioned that a particular city recently explicitly banned male toplessness, which seems to imply that the above statement about covering the chest only applies to women.

Another Wikipedia article here states that the activist group Topfreedom has protested in France, also implying that the covering the chest only applies to women.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topfreedom#France

Can anyone point to the specific law? The Wikipedia article on clothing laws doesn't have a source. I was going off what I've been told by French friends, but I'd like to know conclusively.
No, it's not over. That was likely propaganda.

How so? It affects load time, understandability, binary size, dependency payload...

I personally hate the load times. Node apps always seem to need to think for a second or too. Sublime Text v VSCode is pretty bad. Sublime Text v Atom is even worse.

When you're moving fast and in your flow, it gets to be really annoying.
I'm trying not to spoil the show, but Mr. Robot exists in Elliot's head and is based on his dad who died when he was young. The show changed when Mr. Robot showed up on the subway and said "We live in interesting times!", from there it started to turn into a black hat hacker/Anonymous spin to take out Evil Corp by deleting their bank database and record of debt. Eliot thought Mr. Robot controlled F-Society, but Mr. Robot takes over Elliot's body sometimes and has him do black hat/Anonymous style things.

So in season 3, Elliot is staying away from computers and the Internet and trying to get a life and go outdoors. But Mr. Robot is there trying to take control. Elliot speaks to his friend who he describes as a monster inside him, but really it is the audience he speaks to, like he is breaking the fourth wall like Deadpool does.
I would love to hear more about the challenge (if exists) you had when leaving the military. I have to agree that military is a comfortable job, but I want to do cool things with companies like Tesla.
In C code that we write, we have a rule that every use of plain 'int' must be justified - it's a "code smell". Most places where 'int' is used should be replaced with 'size_t' (if used as an index to an array), or a C99 int32_t etc.

I completely disagree (except with the size_t bit - I agree with that). In my view, it's usages of int32_t and similar that should be justified: why you do you need exactly 32 bits and 2s complement representation - why does at least 32 bits and unspecific representation not suffice?
Looks really cool, but honestly the input lag is noticeable when compared to something like iTerm. Not sure that's something I could get used to. Is that just a limitation of Electron?
This is a great news! I will explore more!
Just saw a guy get pancaked by a tank trying to pull a tiananmen. You don't stand in the way of the military mid coup.
I likely read that wrong. Did you say that you think the free manual is overpriced??
There has been a massive influx of people into the States who don't necessary share American values as well. The Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Irish, Mexicans, etc. Virtually any group you can think of.
It's wasn't the undefined-ness of the overflow that was the problem here - the bugs would have been exactly the same if 2s complement wrapping overflow had been mandated.

So these would still have been bugs under the JVM too - crashing from an out-of-bound array access or failing to allocate a stupendously large number of objects. The JVM would stop them from turning into potential arbitrary code execution, though (as some, but not all, of these bugs did).
It is more than that, he clearly has a version of schizophrenia and maybe DID syndrome with Mr. Robot being a personality in his head that takes control of his body. He isn't always aware that Mr. Robot takes control. That one time in the cafe Mr. Robot showed that he could control Elliot's body and mess with one of the guys to get punched out. What Eliot sees isn't always reality.

There are also those three days Elliot lost that Mr. Robot took over to do the Evil Corp hack.
Does it clearly imply religious affiliation, or cultural affiliation? Either way, it's such a petty and arbitrary distinction and I'd guess that a Muslim girl in a French school wearing a regular head scarf would still get hassled and forced to remove it.

All you have to do is enter a url and it will render web pages. It uses redux and lets extension developers modify any action basically letting them modify anything, so an extension that makes a nice browser is definitely possible. Also I'm sure you could embed Atom into it too. Basically my holy grail , an entire web dev environment in one app/window with tabs..
>A real Chinese restaurant has round tables

Round tables are for big parties. Restaurants in China, Taiwan, Malaysia, etc. have two person and four person tables as well. They also have shared food and non-shared food. It really depends on the restaurant type and the meal you're ordering as well as occasion. (Recall, some people eat lunch by themselves --most take it to go, some eat on premises.) You will see the round tables at "banquet" restaurants, many in hotels, but not all.

Restaurant food in China, Malaysia, Taiwan, etc. is not all that different from the ones you find in neighborhoods which cater to a ex-pat or first or second generation Asians. They both cook with packaged ingredients, it cuts costs, rather than from scratch as you might at home or _some_ street vendors (many street vendors are franchised).
Everything you could possibly use to describe reality is a model. What else could it possibly be?
They worked with Chinese hackers in order to pull it off. Most likely working for the Chinese government to hack into US servers and steal data without getting noticed.

I'm not sure how the data tapes got erased, but they planted a Raspberry PI to the heating system to turn up the heat and fry them all? Bypassing safety checks and displaying normal readings to the people monitoring it? Wouldn't those people feel the heat going up and panic?
If you want Gmail to act like a post office, treat it like one: fetch the emails on your computer, keep an archive. I pop my mail (pop(keep off)->spamassassin&clamav->maildirs, via procmail) and my archive is on my computer, so whatever service I use can't do anything with it. AFAIK there are software to fetch from IMAP too.

With Facebook, well, I guess you agree to them being able to delete your data at their will via the little box you tick on sign-up. And as long as you accept those terms, law won't help.
Over in the sense that the outcome is now a fait accompli, even if some rebels do not understand this yet in the fog of war.

A few mortar shells being lobbed at parliament doth not a change in government make.
Without tackling thoughts on each specific alternative (there are a few others I've played with or looked into as well in this space), the biggest thing I've found is that Sandstorm has a novel approach to security. Some of the other app platforms allow all of the code for different self-hosted apps to run right on the server. Personally, for me the biggest concern is that most of these platforms let apps have full network access.

Sandstorm has lagged in certain offerings of apps while the platform makes it possible for them to work, because they've approached this from the point of locking down everything, and then carefully opening up what's needed to do more. (Early versions of Sandstorm, apps could only provide completely self-contained documents, and had no connectivity outside of Sandstorm.)

Some people might prefer the others for the easier ability to run those sorts of apps. Another big potential reason to choose another platform might be that different platforms run on cheaper servers or setups. (Sandstorm doesn't work on most cPanel hosting offerings, nor can you install it on a Raspberry Pi, which is a popular request.)

I think, if anything, it's fantastic that self-hosting isn't becoming a monoculture. We have a variety of options out there, most of them are open source, a lot of them support the same or similar sets of apps.

This is the beginning of the end of the "as a service" era.

In Star Trek I don't know why they don't use fuses and circuit breakers so nobody dies if a panel explodes, if it overloaded it would just break the fuse or circuit breaker if the enemy fired at them causing a surge or whatever.

Everything looks great, except for bluetooth. Can't we use internet instead.?
This is a nice blog, it would be nice to also read one where you explain how you "judge" whether a review is fake or not - I have heard so many times from small business owners how legitimate reviews get hidden/deleted from their page. I wonder if it's an algorithm or a "humanized" process with lots of mechanical turks :) (Not in detail of course we don't want people to game your algos)
No, that's precisely the point.

The hiring data from high tech companies is not broken down by culture, but by race.

They're saying that racial equality is the important bit, and if black people aren't equally represented then there's prejudice.

According to that logic, it doesn't matter what culture the person has, as long as they have African ancestry. It doesn't matter if they're part of a high achieving immigrant community, or a low achieving black american community.

THAT's the part that makes no sense to me.
Many libraries have scanners, or photocopiers which will scan to TIFF or JPEG on a USB stick, or even email / share directly to a specified device or service.

Otherwise, the 63 combined pages are available for the low, low price of $275.

See my comment to a thread above. Basically, according to tech hiring data, they _don't_ break things down by culture, just by race.

That's why it's such an important distinction. Is hiring 20 highly achieving black african immigrants who grew up in white enclaves just as desirable as hiring 20 low achieving black people who spent generations here being discriminated against?

According to these statistics, both are equally good and desirable.
The bluetooth dependency looka painful. But I'm also highly skeptical of the behavioural analysis. I feel like a piece of malware could replay recorded behaviour and attack at 2:30am when the user is probably close enough to trigger an automatic authentication.
While formally and legally you are correct, Money is data and data is money.

I believe that argument at hand is that massive digital services providers, by power of the market forces, had become just as essential part of our infrastructure as banks. Their behaviour has played a huge role in establishing this position and setting this expectation.

So, the philosophical question is whether Google, AWS, Facebook, et.al. are now "too big to fail" to be subjects of regulation due to their critical role in ensuring preservation and accessibility of human knowledge. They are already being regulated by tons of parties, domestic and foreign, to keep some (lots?) information inaccessible.
Ah, it may not be a legal requirement, but its against their terms of service. They're pretty clear with banning "textual content that depicts or encourages rape, incest, bestiality, or necrophilia."

As children (even depicted imaginary ones) can't give consent, its automatically rape material.
FWIW, I'm not saying we must have a perfect solution: I'm saying that we have to build systems which make the implicit failings of their imperfect solutions explicit. As an example, it is impossible to build a system which gives one person access without permitting that person to lend that access to others: we need to acknowledge that rather than pretend it's untrue.
Prineville is a lovely place and as an Oregonian I'm thrilled that high tech jobs have come to a rural town that does not get many opportunities like this.

Actually erotica is not automatically obscene. Lolita need not be non-erotic, to be non-obscene.
Well, the real answer is because it's a cheap way to make "people sitting looking at computers" seem exciting and dangerous.

I think the in universe answer is that everything uses plasma or something.
This is a terrible metaphor and the entire thought behind it. If you provide some sort of consideration in exchange for something even if that consideration is your eyeballs which the provider can rent out you are a customer.
No, it's not. In multi-party parliaments you have coalitions that together form a government. The NSDAP did not form such a coalition.

Before UNIX was ported to the PC, I used a DOS program called Crosstalk Communicator.

Today it's so easy to run a small UNIX kernel on a PC.

Why would "industrial control areas" still be using Windows, if what they need is terminal emulation? Tradition? Windows-only software?

Windows on a networked computer sounds like a potential security hazard in such places.

Maybe they can get the domain name through UDRP.

I've been using Sandstorm as my primary document writing and storage location for a while. I've mostly been using the Oasis hosted service (and their alpha server prior), but I've also installed Sandstorm on a couple of VMs for dev and testing purposes. I'm pretty happy with it, and happy with the apps available for it.

There's still some things I'm waiting for, such is the life of using a platform that's still in development by a small team. Some way to organize my grains is the big one left right now. But especially recently a lot of the stuff "down the roadmap" is starting to feel finished. The Powerbox features are getting there. Active Directory integration exists now.

Since somewhere in 2014 when I started playing with it, it's always felt like it was moving forward.

Good question. Currently it's an echo chamber of similar minded Countries. I think in order for the EU to grow, it needs to entertain other trains of thought.
Maybe, but almost everything outside the basic multilingual plane is so infrequently used that it's a waste of space to use a fixed-width format.

But I could see it being a useful replacement for UTF-32... If you need to be able to calculate code points in constant time, and you don't mind wasting one bit out of every 64. Self synchronizing, constant time code point count from buffer size, and close to as space efficient as UTF-16, but with none of the surrogate mess.
Islam is a religion just like the other abrahamitic ones, with an old book that's sort of surprising when read (I'm reading bible and am at Numbers atm, many gross things up until now, many awaiting), and some traditions around that. Embracing a muslim country would help weaken the extremist ones and inforce the more secular, peaceful, civil ones, (which are the majority in Turkey), as the former is mostly fed by what's projected as the hostility of west and incompatibility of 'their' civilisation with islam. Turkey has one of the strongest secular muslim communities (despite the later fundamentalists, who are always louder than the sane), and is a good candidate for initiating a process of secularisation of relations between the west and the near-east. Fundamentailsm is a global problem, but the fact that muslim world is in conflict makes out of it a fatal threat, whereas, in west where there's peace and a longer after-empire experience the worst you see is Jeovahs Witnesses, the anti-homosexuality people and anti-abortionists.
I had a look at this earlier and it mentions they operate a CA, to provide S/MIME certs.

How are these certs handled by other mail clients/systems? Do they have a chain to a widely accepted Root CA?
> So in the US (and Japan and only a handful of other countries), fictional depictions of under age or incestual content isn't illegal (per the court case you referenced above), so long as you're not using real people to act it out.

Actually, visual incest pornography exists in the US. I am not sure why (I am within the industry, but I don't actually keep tabs on legalities that I'm not involved in), but it seems that 2 years ago VISA decided it was okay for it to take credit card payments for incest-fantasy sites, and since then there's been an explosion of mainstream studios supporting said material.

Cynically speaking, it seems to me that the adult industry is more scared of how their merchant banks will react to their content, than any chance of being taken down by the US government.
As an algorithm developer and manager I have thought of business ideas similar to what Algorithmia is pursuing. There are a few reasons why I think “algorithms as a service” will not work so well. In most products / services that rely on non-trivial algorithms, the core algorithms are often the “secret sauce” of the business. They are what gives you your edge over your competition. And you need to fully understand and control your secret sauce. You need to know where the core algorithms work well and where they don’t work so well. With an outsourced service, your core algorithms are basically a black box outside your control. Another problem: for most real world algorithms it is pretty rare to be able to take an off the shelf algorithm and have it “just work” well enough for your problem. Often there is a bit of parameter tuning and domain specific knowledge that must be incorporated to get the best results (this is how people like myself get a lot of consulting work). If a generic algorithm does work quite well for your problem, your competitors probably already know about it and you have no real edge over them. A third problem, and this is really the main one: one of the main benefits of developing an advanced algorithm is that once you have it, you “own” it and can deploy it as you see fit. You amortize your costs upfront and are able to use this sunk development cost over and over again without extra cost. But with a service like Algorithmia, you are never able to take full advantage of the tremendous leverage that algorithms can give you. The more you use the algorithms, the more you pay. And if you start paying a lot to use an algorithm you’re going to at some point find it to be better to develop your own implementation and stop paying someone else for the service.
Neat easter egg. Though you should get some better servers for your site. That load time is crazy. Especially on my 1GB connection. Granted, I'm going through proxies, but wow, still horrible.

REPL is OK, work-spaces are much better, ala Smalltalk. The best analogy is like a SQL editor, you can simply write anything and execute it in place. The notion one needs to enter one line at a time, aka the REPL, is quaint; not something to really be desired except from languages that have neither.
And then there are things within the South like Tidewater food, which up until the past century was still a combination of English-settler and aboriginal food: pork and squash, just like our ancestors ate at Jamestown or soon after. It's almost completely extinct now, which IMHO is a damn shame: it can be delicious and filling, and — unlike so many of the cuisines in this country — really is native at this point (the English heritage took root in the Tidewater over 400 years ago, so I consider it native).
This.
Turkey apologized to Russia, and normalized relationships with Russia and Israel. Also their Foreign minister talked about mending ties with Syria - Assad's Syria.

All this happened in the space of a few weeks. It was such an about-face from their past postutring. I guess this puts things in context.
