I think we should be respectful of the audience that this blog post is and isn't for -- where it says that VC's can be "quite persistent" asking for coffees, this kind of shows you the kind of audience this is written for. And yes, if you're the kind of person that in the words of the article:

>I would say “Hey, during these next couple months it will be very tough for me to meet in person, but I’d love to still help how I can. Can I help with anything over email and we can go from there?”
It turns out this was a great way to get to the point with people. Most people admitted they didn’t have anything pressing to discuss though some would respond with specific questions. One person let me know he was just interested in participating in our round whenever we raised money. We ended up contacting him when we did raise money and he did participate.

If you're the kind of person for whom "many VCs were extremely persistent", and for whom if you say, "is there anything I can do just over email?" and a VC writes back, "Yes, just let me know when I can send a check" (obviously not in these words), and then when you're raising money they do participate --

well, that is the kind of audience who has the money to hire people :)

So this blog post is very useful and helpful, but not for everyone.

I did this a few years ago. I don't know if I'm 100% transitioned but I'm just about.

I setup the forward from <name>@gmail.com to <name>@<mydomain>. I then flagged things that are coming from gmail and slowly updated addresses on those websites to point at <name>@<mydomain>. You don't have to be in a hurry to get it done you just have to be working towards the end goal.

> the compiler guarantees to evaluate it at compile time

It doesn't guarantee that.

For example:

static constexpr int fac(int x) { return x <= 1 ? 1 : x * fac(x - 1); }
int f() {
return fac(4); // May or may not be evaluated at run-time.
}
char arr[fac(4)]; // fac(4) is evaluated at compile-time.

Absolutely this.

I have a regime of dumbbell exercises plus at least 5x25 pressups spread through the day.

In this I'm lucky to work from home - not everyone has the freedom to knock out a set in their office environment.

Maintaining condition goes far in mitigating the stress of the particular motor repetitions required by our profession, but I also find that periodically firing up the physical engine calalyses problem solving too.

I used to have a lot of wrist trouble (carpal tunnel I assume) from drumming and computing incessantly, but as long as I stick to the regime, I have no issues.
To anyone who has ever had pain or soreness or numbness after a prolonged coding session and it went away after some rest, pain is the first sign. Eventually what happens (and what happened to me) is that you need more recovery time to get back to a baseline normal. And eventually that baseline normal becomes a combination of symptoms: residual numbness, soreness, or pain.

Please don't take your ability to "pound" away at the keyboard for granted. And please don't make jokes about RSI ever. It is not a joke, unless you think a "punch line" of seriously thinking about having to type a lot as a liability for your career.

That's the question then--is it the case that any rational interpretation of the polls gave an actual forecast of least 70%, and the NYT lied? The parent seemed to be saying that election's outcome alone proved that the 20% number was not only wrong, but dishonest on top of it. You need some more ingredients to prove either of those things, though.
Now someone just needs to write a constexpr ELVM interpreter and teach 8cc to compile C++14 and this whole thing will self-host!

FTC Issues Statement Regarding Marketing Claims for OTC Homeopathic Drugs
I'm still surprised Obama seemingly knew about this, yet did nothing. It makes me wonder how many other things he knows about, and how full of it this makes him.

He says a lot of things, but at the end of the day, he seems like a worthless, know-nothing, unconcerned idiot when it comes to things like protecting the people, looking out for them, helping things progress, and you know, everything else the government is supposed to be about.

It's annoying that this outdated, corrupted, worthless system is being strung along, defended, and operated as though it's the norm, the way it should be, and as though it was, at any time, something other than the product/result of self-serving agendas.

There's a lot more data, technological advancement, knowledge, experience, and general intelligence available these days (enough to show how stupid what's being done is), but all they do is try to drag around whatever's more garbage as though it's not just more shit.

I suppose in one way I'm not too surprised, as whether it was an after school club, a mail room, church, college, or a corporate work environment, wherever I was, it would be the same pattern of shit being defended, propped up, and carried on; and of everyone reacting violently to anything else that would appear.

It would also be the same pattern of no one knowing why anything was the way it was and of no one questioning or thinking about anything, yet thinking they knew something and violently defending whatever garbage was in place. What's that? You don't even know what it is, how it got there, why it's there, or anything else, but off you go saying the dumbest things?

Also, most quickly realize that most things in place are either the result of politics, self-serving BS, "just doing something to get it done," and everything else that's a reflection of stupidity repeating again; yet they continue on as though something else is the case.

2) Probably not good for nontechnical people but on the other hand most accurate for technical people.

Do you know from personal experience that that works? My understanding is that you would not be allowed to work on a Schengen tourist visa. Wouldn't the process be more like "go there, find jobs, interview, apply for a work visa, wait for months to have it issued, find the job gone"?

From a modern perspective it's fun to think about the layers of sometimes-trivial complexity that we fly over with modern development tools, but when I wrote Apple Writer in 1978, I first had to write an assembler, and to do that, I first had to enter seemingly endless amounts of object code to get to the tipping point where I could enter comparatively efficient 6502 assembly-language mnemonics and actually get something accomplished.

Excercise, sleep, and not being overweight!
My family has a furnace for heating water and the house. The furnace has a control unit that controls the burner and pumps. There is also a "manual operation" switch, to be used if the control unit fails, that simply switches everything on: pumps and the burner. The burner has a thermostatic control (that is set to a very high temperature and is essentially used to prevent it from boiling the water).

So, in this case, "burn at max rate" _is_ the safe setting to be used when the controller dies. The only unsafe situation that it will cause is that the hot utility water will be scaldingly hot, but there will be no increased danger of fire nor of CO poisoning.

I had some pretty bad RSI that I thought was going to kill my career also.

Turned out, I managed to eliminate it by completely changing my keyboard technique to tuck my thumbs underneath my fingers when typing. I'm surprised no-one ever told me about this before.

The action of tapping the space bar with the corner of your thumbnail instead of smacking it with a big lateral thumb tap makes all the difference in reducing strain on your carpal tunnel.

If your arms are at rest beside your body while standing, the 'natural state' of your fingers and thumbs in this position is the exact same hand posture you should maintain when typing. If you are instead performing an up-down movement with an unbent thumb, that can lead to RSI problems.

Learnt about this from:

Yes, while that looks really bad, it's:

1) Uncertain at what level it was when the person involved got the boot.

2) Only one actor, which I'd rank fairly low compared to Guardian, Atlantic, Foreign Policy, NYT, WP, etc.

I read your links, and I agree with them, but it's still only what it is, uncertain what it means... there's definitely no proof of a conspiracy, regardless if there is one or not.

The seed of one of these maybe-stories, flaring into a craze of "every news channel is evil, burn them all" is unhelpful at best, damaging to democracy at worst.
If you grabbed all of them, are you able to post a tarball or something somewhere? I'd like to listen to them but I don't want to make thousands of requests/downloads and rack up AWS charges for anyone.
Please illuminate me. I may be wrong, but I certainly wasn't being dishonest. The fact that you leaped straight to that conclusion doesn't help convince me that you have a particularly well-grounded belief in the NYT's dishonesty, either.
As a tag on to this, set a solid hardened ( to your level of tin foil) firewall, complete with replacing router with open|DDwrt one and setting up a VPN over ssh from within your own home network, this has several benefits, you know the holes in the firewall, you use the bandwidth you are paying for already, it makes for a relatively cheap private cloud that also allows for smaller and or lighter footprint devices that can stream remotely from your home storage and also know that your nfs / remote cloud is under control of someone you trust (yourself)

Markets Sent a Strong Signal on Trump - Then Changed Their Minds
The person is very depressed.
Just a note:

I was referring to both people doing manual testing and doing development of automated testing in the case of Microsoft.

My understanding (from the outside) is a that substantial number of people at Microsoft who worked in those areas were made redundant. From what I could gather the goal was to make the majority of testing automated and have the self test systems be developed by the developer of the respective subsystem themselves.

All of the weird regressions I've seen with Win 10 myself (and read about many people experiencing) matches that story.

My feeling is that with something as complex as a desktop OS that needs to work with the a) the history of Windows releases, b) the history of Windows apps, c) the entire, insanely big spectrum of PC hardware released the past 5-15 years or so you do need an army of relatively highly competent people willing to do lots and lots of manual testing over and over and over and over and over ... again. And of course lots of people to build automated systems.. but you can't really get away from the manual aspect very easily.

Don't get me started on database updates or connection methods for aircraft... We have models that use floppys (about 75% disk failure rate per box of "new" disks), CompactFlash cards, SD cards, zip disks (yes, zip disks), WiFi + Ipad, serial connection (9 or proprietary cable) and USB sticks.

The USB sticks are the preferred method these days, but there are a bunch of aircraft flying around out there with Windows viruses stored on their USB sticks. My mechanics get an alert every time they plug one in to do an update.

I didn't use the migration, so can't speak to that. I just had to set up the DNS entries on my domain. Granted, there are a fair few (MX, TXT, SPF, SRV, A, CNAME..), but there's good documentation and it only took me about 30 minutes to set everything up.

Of course, I only have one account (lastname@personaldomain.com) and therefore didn't have to deal with setting up multiple users, migrating data etc. I also set up 2FA for my account.

I did all this over one weekend (from looking at different providers, to signing up for O365, configuring etc), and haven't had to touch anything since. The only question I had was related to billing (I went from a month-to-month to a yearly account) and that was answered quickly by a real human being.

2 petabytes is no big deal for the NSA. Also, why would they store anywhere near this much per session? They can estimate which part of the stream matters and store that part if they want to.

> And for each of these AES operations they also have to check in their 2 petabytes corpus for a match (I hope you way to do that).

Bloom filter plus a large hash table?

The point is that crypto ought to be configured to be secure, with a large margin of error, against an adversary who controls the entire world's computational capacity and is willing to use highly theoretical attacks because achieving this level of security is not particularly difficult. AES-256 satisfies this criterion, as does ECDHE until a quantum computer shows up. AES-128 does not satisfy this criterion even though the existing attacks are barely practical even for a nation-state adversary.

256-bit keys may not even be quite good enough against a batch attack done with a quantum computer because a full Grover's algorithm run against the entire batch runs in ~sqrt(2^bits / batch size). If you assume a batch size of 2^96 (to give a nice margin of error) and you want a work factor of 2^128 for the adversary, that gives 352 bits.

ECDHE is, of course, completely dead once someone builds a quantum computer.
