To be clear. If one candidate has an HN rank of 10 and another has a rank of 100 it doesn't automatically place them ahead. That would be stupid.

Nor does having downvotes cause any automatic placement adjustment.

I agree with the ideology observation and probably also with the tobacco analogy, but I don't think I agree with the dental checkup analogy; here the difficulty is network effects.

Getting the people I e-mail with most to use PGP encryption with me would probably require 20 minutes to 5 hours, probably in person, with each of them. That is likely more time than people spend on professional dental care annually and, if I'm doing the setup, I have to spend that time with each correspondent.

Getting them to also use some kind of homegrown obfuscator or custom block cipher with me (but not with their other correspondents?) is another effort of several hours per person, again requiring meeting in person with each correspondent.

Both of these mechanisms are then very fragile if a given correspondent changes devices or operating systems.

You might argue that, for each person, learning how to use a tool like GPG is on par with getting annual dental checkups (possibly annoying and time-consuming, but just a few hours, and with potential hard-to-foresee benefits over the long term). And that's fine, but if we're still talking about adding completely homegrown custom layers intended to defeat automated cryptanalysis, the picture has gotten a lot more complex. By definition, the people adopting these solutions have to design and deploy them in a customized, personalized way, to avoid having large populations of people adopting the same tools and techniques. If this is supposed to be reliable (and somehow coexist with other custom techniques, so that Alice and Bob can use one homegrown obfuscation layer while Bob and Carol use a completely different one!), I expect it would be an order of magnitude more effort even supposing that most of the participants are already capable software developers.

I mean, maybe there's a way to extend OpenPGP so that you declare a "custom cipher" on top of the main ciphersuite and then implement it as a plugin so you "just" have to do the core work on your custom thing and not on the surrounding key exchange mechanisms, data format, and e-mail client integration... but it still represents a massive amount of additional work for each pair or small group of communicating parties, even given this hypothetical infrastructure.
I find it so fascinating how many people have wildly different ideas and thoughts about automation and what computers and robotics can and will do versus what they can't do (yet).

Primarily people outside tech world but also even some people inside it.

"Country roads, take me home... to my friends:
How intelligence, population density, and friendship affect modern happiness"

Published in British Journal of Psychology (2016)

Abstract:
"We propose the savanna theory of happiness, which suggests that it is not only the current consequences of a given situation but also its ancestral consequences that
affect individuals’ satisfaction and explains why such influences of ancestral consequences might interact with intelligence. We choose two varied factors that
characterize basic differences between ancestral and modern life – population density and frequency of socialization with friends – as empirical test cases. As predicted by
the theory, population density is negatively, and frequency of socialization with friends is positively, associated with life satisfaction. More importantly, the main associations of life satisfaction with population density and socialization with friends significantly interact with intelligence, and, in the latter case, the main association is reversed among the extremely intelligent. More intelligent individuals experience lower life satisfaction with more frequent socialization with friends. This study
highlights the utility of incorporating evolutionary perspectives in the study of subjective well-being."

I skimmed the paper. The theory sounds plausible, but much more research seems needed.

An issue: Apparently the "intelligent" group has an IQ cutoff point at 115 (1 SD above mean), that doesn't sound like 'the extremely intelligent' used in the abstract.

I also don't get what is so impressive about overwriting the MBR. This hardly even bricks the individual computer, just UEFI to boot from the network, re-image the machine and restore the backup from literally hours ago after you know for sure you removed the malware from the image (or restore only non-executable data and use a clean image for the OS). What is the point of a cyberweapon like this that doesn't even persist itself on firmware?
It's exactly that mindset that kills people by statistical inevitability. Each society is of course free to make the choice, and as a result the US has four times as many fatal accidents per capita as Sweden.

Also, 30km/h is used in the same places that would be 25mph zones in the US, i.e. residential areas and school zones on thoroughfares. The default speed on larger roads in cities is 50km/h, which is just below 35mph, a very common city throughfare speed limit in the US.

And on the flipside, many Swedish freeways have a speed limit of 120km/h, i.e. 75mph, which you're hard pressed to find in the US at all, and certainly not in California. It's only in the last decade they've changed the speed limit to 120km/h, but it's because freeways have been made safer, and cars have been made safer, so it makes sense to raise the limit.

Try getting the speed limit raised in California. I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for that.

Fantastic. I'll follow this with great interest, I've had the same urge to make my own 'relatively simple everything' for years, but not even close to this (already) in execution.
Perl has infinity ways of describing the same computation with no clear best practices in many cases.

Rust's problem is the same that any language in its domain encounters: it must encode a lot more information than similar scripting languages in order to describe the semantics of this program.

It most certainly does not read like Perl. The sigils are weird but there's few of them and they're used consistently and without overloaded meaning. And unless you want to make a horrendously verbose language by assigning keywords to stuff related to lifetimes, pointers and references, it attempts to strike the balance between readability and compactness for the experienced developer.

Rust used to have a lot more sigils. Its syntax and semantics are nowadays a lot simpler than languages in the same domain (C++ I'm looking at you) and a lot of the complexity has been pushed into the traits system, IMO for the better.
It's your idea and they're offering you 2%? Or am I just misunderstanding? I got 40% of net profits over all time, as long as I was actively working on maintaining the software, in return for the ability to develop the app on company time over 6 mo + marketing efforts.

What the agreement looks like is up to you; the contracts that were offered to me had ridiculous clauses that were heavily in their favor, mostly because they were 'stock' contracts which they (ellegedly) didn't even read for them themselves. (I know.)

When I sold them the IP out of frustration, I had still not signed a contract that I was happy with. (One version of our founders agreement had me owing them $40,000 in initial contributions — if I were to sign that, I could have royally screwed my family.)

All I'm saying is that a business partnership is more than just a few meetings and agreements. You need to agree with how they do business. If it doesn't align with what you want for your product, you may want to take a step back and evaluate whether it is a good decision to get into bed with them.

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Edit: If I were to do it differently, I would have done everything by myself. It would have taken longer, yes, but I would still be working on a product of which I had a huge passion for. It sucks that it didn't work out how I thought it would.
Tinder isn't going to be what you want.

Consider others that are less focused on hookups.

Also try meeting people naturally. For example, Meetups and the such. Even other guys(they have female friends) and just try and socialize frequently. Also I'd say meeting someone at a cycling/climbing/any activity type clubs are great too. Or even board game or movie type clubs. If you are a se at big tech company. They sometimes have social event groups going on all the time. Just gotta find them.

Also don't wait for people to invite you places. The quickest way to get invited to places with peers and acquaintinces is to invite them to do something. A movie. Board games. Hiking. Potluck. Etc..
Maybe these developers that produce "negative work" think your code sucks. Ever consider that?
Personally I've done work like this for agencies who focused on design and front-end that needed some complicated back-end functionality implemented for a client and didn't want to hire their own person internally to handle it.

I'd like to see some articles like that, too though I have heard stories a few times from a few old timers I've met at company events, I couldn't hope to summarize them nor could I legally, I'm sure. There's not, imho, a massive difference in the company over the 5 years I've been there (albeit in a 'remote' office), but the people who have been there over a decade definitely saw a different kind of company.
Wouldn't it be difficult to do a straight comparison without other variables, given that there isn't a popular webserver that supports the protocols they tested with, as well as QUIC?

Edit: Should note that I'm excited about QUIC as well, just thought I may have been missing some new development where it's (already) more usable outside Google's walls.

Why isn't this Bruce Willis movie yet? ;)
Yeah, more or less.

They're utilizing a dual-port SRAM, meaning that the co-processor can read and write to the RAM at the same time as the Gameboy CPU can read and write to it. Those pins along the cartridge edge are actually just the address and data lines of the Gameboy CPU.

They've written a program for the Gameboy CPU whose job is to DMA data from the RAM to video RAM (it's a bit more complicated due to the architecture of the Gameboy GPU not being set up for streaming video at it).

The game itself is running on the ARM co-processor, writing data to a known location in the DP-SRAM and the Gameboy CPU is streaming it to the display.

Very cool stuff!

Many airliners glide quite well - they can glide quite a bit further from a given altitude than can general aviation aircraft that are (probably) more likely to run into a scenario where they'll need to glide. Air Transat 236 managed to glide 120km and land safely after running out of fuel.

The Helios flight in 2005 was unfortunate. The flight attendant trying to control it had some pilot training, but not enough to handle an out-of-fuel airliner at relatively low altitude.
> I don't know precisely what that level is, but I think many programming languages, such as C++ and Rust, have stepped way past that line.

There are no languages in the same domain that don't have a comparable level of syntax and semantic complexity given the intrinsic nature of the information they want to encode.

And I would make rather take sigils than using a bunch of different keywords every time I need to talk about lifetimes and pointers.

To date I have not seen languages with comparable complexity expressed with more elegant syntax. Some domains just have irreducible complexity.

Interestingly, this has some legal complications where I am from (South Australia). If you tick all the boxes of being an employee then you must be hired as one. To be a contractor you have to prove autonomy separate from the business, eg your own equipment, set your own hours, and not rely solely on the one client.

It is an attempt to stop employers dodging benefits entitlements by hiring their employees as contractors.

Skeptical POV: With modern LTE phones, the farther you are from the sector you're connected to, the higher the Tx power will be. Therefore more battery draining. You can easily experience this yourself in Oregon when on the edge of t-mobile service in rural areas farther away from I-5. Transmit timeouts and retransmission will also eat up battery life.

Also, li ion batteries do not like -10C weather, so unless you keep a phone in an interior coat pocket against your chest, battery life will be greatly reduced. Physics of batteries, not malicious action.
I'm just going to write down some things that went wrong/right with my own freelancer experiences about getting and keeping jobs, hopefully it's somewhat useful to someone.

First, there is a drastic oversupply of programmers, as you noticed, and everybody knows it. You're competing with people earning $5/h or less, or are straight-up working for "equity" or "portfolio". Public opinion of programmer skills and value is exceedingly low ("we just need some coder to make it all work!"), and programming shops that do value developer time are usually religiously keyed to one specific toolset and methodology, only recruiting from that specific pool.

By and large, there is only one in: getting referred by people who already like your work. That's why so many freelancers fall into the working-for-free-to-get-referrals trap, by the way, never do that. But what you can do is start small. Look up local companies working in your field, and comb through your address book for anyone who could possibly have use for your services.

After getting any contact, your most important job is to cultivate the good customers and get rid of the bad. I cannot count the number of times I failed at either of these, it's my number one regret from when I started freelancing. There were two instances in my freelancer career where I let people down very badly that still haunt me - don't be that guy. Sometimes you get lucky and you hit upon a successful relationship by chance, keep such relationships alive at all costs.

Finally, as a mostly-ex web developer I think working for web stuff is poison. Often, people looking for skilled allrounders will actually think less of your skills if they include web work. Also, web development is by far the most overcrowded field in software development. And web shops themselves are getting utterly ridiculous in their use of overblown tools and bloated frameworks. If there is any way you can get into low level programming, graphics programming, maybe game development, framework development, and so on: I'd suggest you do that.

The article doesn't say anything about Pr(Dislikes Rewards), but rather claims to have measured P(Diminished Response to Rewards | Clinical Depression Diagnosis) > P(Diminished Response to Rewards | !Diagnosis).

It's an 84 person study, done using EEG (a very rough measure of electrical activity in the brain), claiming a result largely related neurotransmitter release (ie not the sort of thing EEGs are usually used to measure). You should take their claims with a huge helping of salt.

The first one. They sorted the kids into Depressed and not-Depressed before measuring the reward response.

The second probability depends on the relative sizes of all four quadrants and your definition of "high". The truth of statement one does imply that it's higher, but how much higher is not discussed.
Remember a short time ago when there was a failed coup in turkey, and the NEXT DAY, the regime fired 4000 judicial officials and civil servants? It's almost as if they had the list of people ready to go before the false flag coup... Nah,an autocratic regime would never do that!

So, you are the decision maker for whether or not Intel CPU's get designed into your product? If so, I'm sure several Intel salespeople have you on speed dial.

The 286 had purposely undocumented instructions, of this sort: "Ooops this is b0rk3d. It will always be b0rk3d. Let's pretend it didn't happen." So for generations there were holes in the op code map that people tip-toed around. Especially since Intel (meaning the internal grey-beard collective) also forgot exactly what those opcodes were and what they were supposed to do. You care, why, exactly?

It's not like the NSA slips extra opcodes into executables that you compile with your own compiler in order to spy on you. They have much easier ways to spy on you.

Also, it's not like it is that hard to throw unused opcodes at the decoder and see which ones give you the illegal instruction exception, and which ones do something else. You now have a homework assignment. Have fun, let us know what you find.
It also depends on the timezone you are in. For me when being in South East Asia I found it hard to get clients from USA because of ~12h time difference. I go mostly contracts as referrals from other freelancer friends. Stay in touch with them and let them know that you are currently looking for a project.

Contacting agencies my be a good bet - but so far I found still a lot of them don't want to work with remote/nomadic developers.

As for me, when I don't have contract I keep working on my own apps and put them on shelf when a new client deal is finalized. Most of the time finalizing a deal takes time.
The important thing about Mythbusters is that they have an idea and they test it. Their methods aren't always the best (or even good at all), but they take the right approach: they get an idea, and they try to verify or invalidate it. Pretty much anyone who watches an episode can think of a way to improve the experiment, and I think it's good that the show provokes that response.
Building a cpu using 74 series logic was a required project in our undergraduate micro-architecture course. It was a fun time debugging the bread boards! First time we learnt the fact that voltage at one end of bread board to the other drops due to resistance so 5V gates do not work if power supply is not connected close enough.
I've had good luck meeting nice people with Match. It's not as much of a meat market as Tinder. In my area, at least, it tends to have a lot of professional people that are looking to date more-or-less seriously, but have busy schedules that make meeting people organically difficult.
Not to mention all of that array behavior is available on the standard C++ library with std::valarray<T>, e.g., https://godbolt.org/g/JBSvuH. There was talk of a more thorough standard multi-dimensional array type, but I have no idea what's the status on that.
Explaining some of my life choices:

I have tended to have about a 4 year attention span.

At least 2 former vocations (paid work) have moved into the avocation bucket (un-paid, still do some of it for love of the "work").

Along the way I have secured skills for some pretty well paid hourly consulting. I can make the equivalent of a mediocre FT salary working about 8 to 12 hours weekly.

I try to divide up the remainder of my time between, helping out elderly family members, spending time with my wife and kids and do most of the cooking, spend time on avocations mentioned above and building more product oriented software. I have the thought that I might turn one of those products into a real business that might eventually do better than hourly consulting.

One of the challenges is questioning one's previous decisions and wondering if I should put a lot more time and energy into building up the consulting side. There are many times that more money now would be nice!

Some friends, even one's with a lot more money than I, envy my lifestyle balance while I sometimes envy their greater financial success.

I guess in the end I mostly agree with Sivers but there are days you wonder.
