This practice should be banned on the premise that any digital data that could enter the country physically on that device could just as easily cross the border and enter on any internet connection. Searching the device does nothing to prevent anything from entering the country, which is the primary role of the CBP agents - to control the flow of people and physical items. Not data.

If the CBP then claims that it's a useful tool/practice because they can identify bad people who shouldn't be allowed in, they should be asked to provide stats on how many people were denied entrance after their devices were checked. My guess is that number is statistically meaningless, probably in the <1% range for people who actually unlock a device.

One of the only exceptions I can think of is cases like this one:
http://cyb3rcrim3.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-laptop-child-porn...
where there is already a legitimate investigation going on and a person is suspected of serious criminal activity and they don't have enough for a warrant. In these cases, the CBP uses the rules regarding border re-entry to their favor to compel a search of a device because they have at least some sort of reasonable suspicion that a device may contain data for which the mere possession of is highly illegal. Other than that, I'm hard-pressed to think of any cases where the mere possession of data would be a felony unless they suspect you of having classified information without the appropriate clearance.

What I described happened on G2553 with USCI_A in SPI mode. Given the fact that various code samples on the net do not handle this behavior it seems that it is either happening only for some configurations or only on some versions of the HW. But: when you see even bytes on SPI dropped or replaced with previous ones, add NOP.
Well, you can still utilize it. For instance, if you serve `/static.css` from your CDN; you would (should) also add `Link` headers to all same-domain assets tied to it.
I don't have any social media accounts. Last year I crossed the border for the first time in 20 years (to Canada and back) and wasn't asked for anything.

It might be the case that having no online presence reduces your chances of being flagged. Fewer obvious associations, fewer chances for "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" to occur, less chance of some algorithm picking you out of the crowd.

There were some scare pieces a few years ago that somehow not having social media accounts would make one suspect when going to apply for another job, since background checks wouldn't reveal any online presence and that must mean that you're socially defective somehow. It seems like it was probably just a way to goad stragglers into adoption.

The upside of not using social media is better relationships and better mental health.

I'd say only marginally. Even actual degrees are worth less than your portfolio of your actual works. "Non-accredited" certificates like nanodegrees (as opposed to "real" certs like CCIE that companies take seriously) can give you an edge when you say you have a certified coursework if you're pitted against someone who is similar to you. However, it won't be much of a leverage against someone more matched for a job or more experienced than you.

Heroic Driver Sacrifices His Tesla to Save Unconscious Man in Runaway VW
Congrats with the launch!
I write safety critical software. We also have unclear requirements and unreasonable deadlines. Communicating with the relevant stakeholders until the requirements are clear and the deadlines are manageable is a very important part of the process. The main difference to normal software development is that we document everything. Every change to the software needs a new or changed requirement, tests and reviews, all documented. It's not done until C2 coverage is reached and each requirement has a test to verify it. Then we had the software off to other people who do even more tests, on real systems. They also document everything.
> but who actually changed the world?

All the production of electric power in the world and most of its distribution today is based on the Tesla's methods. Not accidentally: Edison's were simply ineffective.

(Some also claimed that the first ever AND electrical logical circuits, today minimized in every chip in every computer, were the ones that Tesla built as the part of his wireless remote controlled boat in 1898. Here the article: https://www.computer.org/csdl/mags/dt/2007/06/mdt2007060624-... just mentions http://www.tfcbooks.com/teslafaq/q&a_024.htm but I can't find other sources. So let's stay by the electric power today. Tesla.)

> Sometimes people think they know their favorite language, but most would fail a language puzzle quiz.

But that is especially true for C++. People who are confident in knowing it often lack the fundamental C knowledge (i.e. pointer arithmetic, the complete C type system, the subtle conversion and promotion rules, etc.), but would insist on knowing C++ very well just because they know how to define classes, virtual functions and throw a shared_ptr or a vector or a map at every problem.
That's a nice tutorial for beginners, though sticking dplyr code in functions is skirting dangerously close to the world of hurt that is non-standard evaluation.

The example:

join_and_summarize <- function(df, colour_df){
left_join(df, colour_df, by = "cyl") %>%
group_by(colour) %>%
summarize(mean_displacement = mean(disp))
}

Will go really badly wrong if someone following the tutorial simply replaces the `disp` with a function argument.
I bought this a year or two ago: https://www.amazon.com/Tricks-Programming-Gurus-Advanced-Gra...

It's basically a set of tutorials that lead you through the steps of building a software 3D graphics rasterizer. It covers rasterizing, lighting, shading, shadows, textures, etc, and the math behind each set of concepts. It's built on late-90s C and DirectX, but the capabilities used are covered by just about any game programming library. The author builds kind of an abstraction library on top of the DirectX code, and that's pretty easy to rewrite in whichever language and toolset you're comfortable with.

Also, I am skeptical of this focus on wireline. There are 3x as many wireless broadband subscriptions in the U.S. (more than there are people!) than wired broadband. Wired broadband penetration has actually plateaued and is now shrinking.
You're mixing up blatant discrimination (the first category) with two very complicated social problems.

People aren't necessarily against refugees, per se, but more against the idea of accepting anyone who declares himself to be a refugee, without checking that he is, in fact, one. Things are made worse by a few "refugee" cases where the "refugees" preferred to move away and live as illegal immigrants in Germany than as legal refugees in Hungary or Romania (a status which includes state aid, as meager as it may be in these countries).

The third point is really complicated and it does include discrimination but also a lack of trust and respect for the others from both sides. A lot of it has to do with the difficulties of integrating a very tight-knit nomadic culture into a modern, sedentary society where property rights are clear and respected.

The part about sizing being wrong was not that much about AWT (although IIRC it also has this problem, at least on Unix, where it looks decidedly non-motif) as about just about any non-native toolkit that tries to look native.

Instead of bitching about it, you could very simply and easily fork this entirely open-source project and remove the code. It's literally a single line-change.

> My understanding is that it is pretty much guaranteed, especially in larger cities.

Induced demand can only happen when there is a non-trivial amount of people who have and use some other option. (NYC, for example, where there is a large subway network. A new freeway might convince some subway-users to switch, inducing demand)

For a city with no alternatives (like no meaningful public transit), it's impossible to induce traffic demand, because demand is already at 100%. Traffic still grows as population grows, but a person can only physically drive one car at a time, it's currently impossible to induce any higher demand than that.

> Do you happen to have any examples of where induced demand has not happened

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-6_(Michigan_highway)

"A year after the freeway opened, traffic volumes along parallel roads like 44th, 56th and 68th streets dropped 40–50%"

That's pretty typical for proper freeway construction/expansion. It's just that we stopped doing that 20-30 years ago, but population growth hasn't stopped in the meantime, so we're way behind on our urban transit infrastructure (all of it, freeways, rails, and public transit).

He says he needs help, he doesn't need everyone telling him how disapointing his entire resume is.

He needs people to let him know what they like and dislike about his profile. But that does also include mentioning what is attractive about his resume. Otherwise we might as well tell him "yo bro, tech isn't for you honestly" if there's nothing likable about what he's done.

He needs to find where his profile adds value and concentrate on that. Conversely, he needs people to let him know about what they think is his profile's weaker points so he can adapt. But asking for help and having everyone tell him the same thing that his interviewers have told him isn't what he's asking for. Is it ?

Some answers have been very helpful it seems (as simple as "well maybe you're applying for senior positions instead of junior ones" or "maybe it's your personality rather than your achievements"). But saying "yeah man; I'm sorry but none of your projects impress me, they're all at best avg" does seem kinda harsh to me. To the point where it might be detrimental to OP's motivation.

Back to the main question:

I think your resume is great, you clearly have valuable skills. Assuming you're applying to entry level positions (you're only 23), I would guess that it's everything besides your resume that isn't working out. Maybe it's your cover letter, it might not be transmitting what people want to read. You should be able to get interviews with your resume, I'm surprised you're not. Have you tried to contact people directly ? I mean as opposed to responding to job ads ?

Also, little tip, rather than saying you're the best at what you do and that's why someone should employ you, I would also add to my cover letter why you want to work for who ever you're applying it. Is it because you're in love with drones, with sports, with lingerie, with whatever you're gonna be working on if you get the job. Because employers are looking for devs that love the product they're coding. I'd rather code with someone avg but passionate about what he does than someone super good but that doesn't give a shit.

Anyway, don't give up bro, you're young and you're clearly not dumb, so it'll work out. Good luck !

> So, why is Twitter such a car crash as far as censorship goes?

There's been many theories. The overiding idea being pushed from the "media" is that Twitter simply doesn't censor enough "hate speech" and "harrassment".

I have a lot of qualms with this though. I mean, FB by a long shot doesn't censor anywhere near as much. Take a look at basically any thread there. Yet still...FB seems to manage user-base and stock value wise. So it can't be the above theory.

The other, for obvious reasons more suppressed, reason is that they censor and control too much, and the control they do do, is like you say, one-sided and bias.

There's plenty of evidence that supports bias censorship on Twitter, yet there's none that Twitter doesn't censor enough, at least when you compare to Twitter.

To be honest, I'de be pushed to think that people love scapegoating "the other side", "bigots", etc., for the collapse of Twitter, just so they don't have to come to the realisation that their political orientstion pushes people away from a platform. It's essentially admitting defeat right?
You're correct--large clock anomalies (or VM pauses, message delays, etc) can cause serializability anomalies. I don't exactly know what will happen, because our tests explicitly focused on staying within clock skew bounds.

To speculate: if clocks do go out of bounds, I don't... think... you can violate single-key serializability, because that goes through a single Raft cluster, but you can definitely see multi-key consistency anomalies. I think you could also get stale single-key reads, because the read path IIRC relies on a time-based lease. Might be other interesting issues if Cockroach is shuffling data from one Raft ensemble to another--I think the range info itself might have a time-based lease that could go stale as well. Perhaps a Cockroach Labs engineer could comment here?

Note that the time window for these anomalies is limited to a few seconds-nodes will kill themselves when they detect clock skew.

Slightly off topic, but is being a generalist considered a bad thing?
What I found out the hard way is that there's a qualitative difference between 'can' and 'must' here that causes a lot of problems with the development cycle.

When the project can no longer fit onto a developer's box it changes a bunch of dynamics and often not for the better. Lots of regressions slip in, because developers start to believe that the glitches they see are caused by other people touching things they shouldn't.

With Mongo we had to start using clustering before we even got out of alpha, and since this was an on-premises application now we had to explain to customers why they had to buy two more machines. Awkward.
