edit: I guess I should say I was consulted to do some unrelated things, then helped them with some MySQL stuff that came up towards the end of the contract, then the utf8mb4 stuff came up, and I spent some time going through it with them. It was not the main focus of the contract, which is part of why I don't remember it very well. Just something that came up in the day to day...

I do have a follow up question to this. If the ransomware encrypt the files, then it would also need to delete the original files. Unless the original files are overwritten, wouldn't it be possible to recover them? If the files are indeed overwritten, I would presume it would take a really long time, and, if I remember correctly, this wouldn't work on SSDs, unless you fill the SSD completely. Or am I missing something?
You probably know this, but it's always important to keep in mind what causes such high interest rates.

A high interest rate is a signal that lenders are wary of lending money to the borrower because of an increased risk of default/inflation. That's fine as long as you are aware of this, but don't think you're getting a "better deal" than someone investing in a boring 1% German government bond. That 12.5% you're getting in addition represents the increased risk that the Brazilian government might default on their debts or the currency might inflate enough to negate the advantage.
Twice, when I was much younger, I was suckered by the stock option scam, that's enough for me to know that it is systemic. I was immature then, relatively, and I experienced the downsides of believing that because you are young and everyone tells you you are talented, you are invincible and going to be rich...

Now I advise others, salary is THE most important thing, in fact working for a startup should carry a salary premium, because of the uncertainty and pressure. Crunch time happens but if it is always crunch time, something is going wrong, and you should look at what your hourly rate actually is. The VCs won't burn out or get carpal tunnel. The founders will swan into their next round of funding. No-one cares about you, so you have to care about yourself.

When people talk about a shortage of people in tech, they specifically mean, a shortage of people experienced enough to be useful but not so experienced that they understand the game...

That's not how the GPL works. The GPL requires that you release the entire work under the GPL, but it does not forbid you from additionally releasing the parts you wrote under other licenses. So you can release the parts of the code you own under the MIT, as long as you also release the whole work under the GPL. [0]

This is exactly the point of the GPL, and what, in my opinion, makes it more free than permissive licenses: GPL code will never restrict the user's freedom. Software that uses proprietary libraries is not free software, and so it is perfectly reasonable for it to be GPL-incompatible.

First of all most would be better chance than 95% in favor of the employee in almost all cases like this, and second even $1M would not be considered reasonable costs (they can spend what they want but the court won't rule their costs to be paid by the other party if they aren't reasonable in comparison to the case itself).

I'd most likely face a less than 1% risk of paying less than $100k, even if the other party is a global mega corp. Also, the tech workers union I'm in can step in to back legal fees.

MA – a single-window clone of Plan9's Acme editor in Tcl/TK

My takeaway is that turkish "I" and English "I" as well as English "æ" and Icelandic "æ" are crammed into the same character even though that causes all sorts of problems, but there are about 20 different characters that represent "x"...
I also took a screenshot:
https://s28.postimg.org/vujqgeiq5/ma_screen.jpg

It's written by Felix Winkelmann, author of Chicken Scheme. From the readme:

"MA is a minimalistic clone of the acme[1] editor used in Plan 9, and
is written in Tcl/Tk. It has been tested with Tcl/Tk 8.5, mostly under
Linux. MA has successfully been run on Mac OS X with XQuartz, but needs
a tiling window manager to be used in a satisfactory way.

I used emacs[2] for years, but got bored with the ever growing number
of extensions and key-combinations that one accumulates when intensively
using that editor. I also got fed up with the fact that purely keyboard
driven interfaces involve frantic typing, something that appears to stress
me. Acme, which is heavily mouse-controlled, seems to produce a more
relaxed, single-handed use, especially for navigation and browsing. I'm
slower now (or at least this is my impression), but less hectic while
working (it seems).

Another advantage of acme is the dynamic nature of extending the
user-interface while one is using it - nearly everything is text, and
nearly every text can be mouse-sensitive.

Note that this editor is single-window based - it doesn't provide multiple
windows, nor does it manage them in any way (this is delegated to the
window manager.)"
I'm trying to work out what would count as passive enough to satisfy the grandparent commenter, if writing a book doesn't qualify. Maybe inheritance? Even robbing a bank requires some upfront effort, so it's hardly passive.
Man alive. Here in the UK a five year treasury bond yields precisely nothing - potentially less than nothing. I have a mountain of cash and nothing to invest it in here. Even property doesn't present a meaningful yield any more.

It also doesn't look like it's going to get better, just worse - so as far as I can discern the best course of action is just to spend it before it becomes completely valueless. To stay ahead of inflation here I'd have to have a 10% yield at least - official CPI figures grievously underreport it, as the baskets of goods they use don't account for the shrink ray.
Yes that was exaggerated - however I'm also happy to change my switches if they fail mechanically. A mechanical switch won't just start randomly missing switches, it usually just works or it doesn't (at which point you replace it)

thats so true... It's ridicoulus to explain people email encryption in general that most of the time they don't do it after you explained the basics.
It's complicated and it's hard not even S/MIME with Outlook (builtin support) works flawelessy and sometimes it's akward to troubleshoot why a certain email was not encrypted or why it was empty after sending or why it added \r\n lines to a csv, or whatever.

I'm a contractor:

I got hired by a company that wasnt paying it's wages. Nobody told me about it but in hindsight, it was probably clear given the churn of the employees. I started bankruptcy proceedings when they failed to pay me and got paid because of that, whilst others who didn't quite share my immediacy never got paid.

I left for another company that had form for not paying it's bills and again it still had workers, both employees and contractors that didn't really make me aware until I was already owed quite a bit. I tried the same tactic when they failed to pay me, but they disputed my work (which thus requires court proceedings). Unfortunately the intermediary I was using winded up and I lost any ability to follow up the case and thus this company is no doubt still hiring consultants in and not paying them.

Both companies are still around in one form or another despite having IP that they've essentially stole. On the bright side I learnt a lot about business and binned off the intermediaries.
That's a fair enough position to take. But that doesn't necessarily make it morally equivalent to robbery.

Morality is a spectrum, and you can only make a judgement call on it when all the details are known, which right now they aren't.

This is all true - and if you look at the UK gilt price/yield over the last six months it demonstrates this aptly - yields started to increase in June as everyone tried to sell their gilts. As you say, the yield only happens if the government pays the nominal at the expiry - and if yields are high it's because the market lacks confidence, and people are selling for less than nominal.

It's not clear that conclusion follows. Perhaps he understands copyright but chooses not to respect it?
No, not the same. The general concepts are similar, though.

My thinking goes: understanding classic OOP is helpful in learning JavaScript because the high level concepts are the same but in my opinion more obvious and easier to implement in Java/C#.

By more obvious, a Java/C# (+ others) program starts with a class and to add functionality you either have to add more methods to that class or implement another class. So to a new programmer "duh, everything is an object and objects are instances of a class".

It's kind of hard to convey the same idea to someone in JavaScript when {} is called an object, "xxx" is an object, and to compose a new class, you compose a new function.

However, to someone who already understands classes and objects, it's just a new/different way to create classes and objects.
Congratulations - that is great to hear.

I have reasons to believe that using "traditional OOP principles" is a bad way to program in JS. If you look at TypeScript development history, they started from adding classes to JS, but now work on advanced stuff that has nothing to do with OOP.
Last.Backend a bit more complex solution. In main idea, with LB you'll can build, deploy and auto-deploy your apps from git repos, via push-2-deploy, or by hook from docker registry.

This is a complex solution in the box.

There's a big difference between a three year old who has just turned three and one who is nearly four. We've got a three and a half year old (as well as a six year old who loves board games with a passion). He has just got the hang of moving pieces forward based on the roll of a dice.

He has played Uno (without the scoring and with face up hands of cards) for a while now. The other game he has been able to play and that I recommend as not being as painful for adults as some, is an Orchard Toys game called 'Where's my cupcake?', but he's only just at the snakes and ladders type stage. We played a lot of Sorry too with my six year old when he was about 4-4.5. The other thing we have done is having the three year old 'on a team' with an adult, but that obviously works better with multiple kids.

One they hit 4.5/5, there are tons of games you can play with them. That's when things start get to fun! Basically, I wouldn't worry yet - they just have to get to the right stage developmentally which they will do.
The unemployment rate in the US is 4.9% which is basically full employment.

Now sure there are a number of people who don't report and those who wish to work more. But I don't think it's going to be easy to get those people back into work. Most are either in industries that are disappearing due to automation. Or they lack the skills/training to re-educate themselves.

And without tariffs (which will impact exports) there is little chance of US being all that competitive in most industries that compete with Asia (I assume you actually mean China).

A while back I found a minor bug in Thunderbird, where astral plane code points were considered by the line wrapping algorithm to have a width of 2 rather than 1. So I filed a bug report.

Oh, boy.

Turns out that trying to include astral plane code points in whichever version of Bugzilla that Mozilla uses causes comments to be silently truncated! Because MySQL.

I filed that one in 2010; it got deduped against a bug originally filed in 2007; it is now 2016, and the bug is RESOLVED FIXED, and Mozilla's bugzilla still has the same problem.

I live in Brazil, so if the government defaults, every other investment I could have made here would also crash, and the local economy with them. It's not called the "risk-free" interest rate for nothing: it's the lowest risk investment one can get within Brazil. Corporate bonds, for instance, will have a higher return, due to their higher risk.

As for inflation, when it increases the SELIC/CDI rates tend to rise with it too. And if you're afraid of that (it hasn't been long since we had a hyperinflation, so a lot of people still are), another government bond (NTN-B) has a return of inflation (measured by the IPCA index) plus a pre-fixed component (currently around 6%). Due to its pre-fixed component, it has some interest rate risk (if the interest rate rises, its present value drops, and vice-versa), but that's not a problem if you intend to keep it to term.

And, actually, the high interest rate is set by the government, as a way to control the inflation, so it's not as linked to the risk of default as one might think. The government could decide to lower the interest rate (and it has: a few years ago, it was set lower, but that led to the currently higher inflation, so the government increased it again to contain the inflation).
Do I have any rational expectations to beat inflation by having well diversified index funds?
It's on a different scale, but in the UK the BBC decided to move a lot of their operations out of London. This was party done as a political move to spread the jobs out from the south east of the UK to the north of England, which is in a similar postindustrial situation to the Midwest (I presume).

They needed up moving most of the tech and R&D departments, children's programming, and see news, sport, and radio shows.

But surely that's the interest rate that their central bank charges to the banks (which influences the interest rates banks pay/charge for savings/loans with them), not the interest rate that they are paying on their own government bonds? I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure those are two very different things.
