Knowing what you DON'T want to do is sometimes more important and useful than knowing what you DO want to do!

I can imagine there are many teachers and social workers who burn out due to feeling like they're not making an impact no matter how hard they try.

I don't think he's confusing cause and effect. There are instances where burnout is caused by a lack of purpose provided by the job. Just because there are instances of work feeling meaningless caused by burnout, doesn't mean the inverse cannot happen.

> People who do work that clearly improves other people's lives can still feel that their work is meaningless.

I can't imagine this is common. For someone to feel this way, I feel, they probably have underlying issues of existential origin. This is assuming the person is directly doing work that is improving someone else's life.

> If someone has a program which is depending on load/store order in userspace then they likely have bugs on x86 as well

Incorrect. On x86, if you write to memory n times, other cores are guaranteed to see the writes in same order. Second write is never going to be visible to other cores before first write. It's correct to rely on x86 memory model in x86 software.

On ARM, those stores can become visible to other cores in any order.

> since threads can be migrated between cores

Irrelevant. This is about code executing concurrently on multiple cores. Operating system and threads are irrelevant. This is about hardware behavior, CPU core load/store system and instruction reordering, not software.

> ... and the compilers are fully allowed to reorder load/stores...

This has nothing to do with compilers. This has everything to do how CPU cores reorder reads and writes.

> Particularly as GCC and friends get more aggressive about determining side effects and tossing code

If GCC has bugs, please report them. Undefined behavior can give that impression, but again, this topic has nothing to do with compilers.

> An emulator is also going to maintain this contract as well. That is why things like qemu work just fine to run x86 binaries on random ARMs today without having to modify the hardware memory model.

This is not true. See: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/tcg-multithread#Memory_consist...

Remaining Case: strong on weak, ex. emulating x86 memory model on ARM systems

I recommend you read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_ordering.
Indeed but one has to question whether you actually want that level of control exposed given the dangers it presents.

There's a lot to be said for air gapping critical systems.
Regardless of whether or not it is money, one thing is for sure, and that is, it is property.

The donut analogy doesn't work, because in your case, you are donating donuts to the club.

This is more like you lend a TV to the club, with the caveat that you still own it, and can take it back at any time.

The club decides to pawn in, thinking it will just buy it back when it has money again, and you won't have any idea. But then it can't, and it sold property that wasn't its to sell in the first place.
FWIW I've been part of it at two public companies as well, and my experience nicely lines up with yours.

Incredibly vague mandates that result in extremely complex rules and systems. Lots of things being marked as "financially sensitive" even though they weren't at all - because better safe than sorry.

In both instances it quite literally cost the company several employees who were assigned to put the SOX systems in place, because it was so incredibly frustrating (and, well, boring), that they ended up quitting down the road and directly attributing their leaving to SOX compliance.
Back when I wanted to write a Lisp interpreter, I thought Haskell would be one of the best languages for it because of its type system. But looking at this code, although I'm sure it's probably very good, it just doesn't strike me as very intuitive or readable. Is this something you get used to over time, like reading Lisp code? Or is it just inherently harder for non-mathematically-minded people to read?

NHS isn't centralised. And not really locked in. NHS relies patch work of legacy software.

Just as a follow-up, I eventually found the Trend Micro report linked from an Ars Technica article. It's justification for labeling this as Fancy Bear was that they saw an email address from a free provider that they believe is linked and some cyrillic text. That's not really very much, given that the original label for this APT is already quite tenuous, given how the 'signature' from the original report consists of things like using Tor exit nodes that are quite common.

Maybe there's more to it, but if so they should really put it in their reports.
You hypothesis physically implausible - for starters, the speed at which memories are made and recalled is much, much faster than the timescale in which "writing" and "reading" of DNA happens.

While you can encode a lot of data in arbitrary arrangements of a molecule (just as you can encode a lot of data in e.g. arbitrary arrangements of magnetic polarity in a dense material) if you have the right tools to do that, our cells have different tools specialized to do different processing on DNA molecules. There's no evidence to suppose that these changes in DNA are somehow controllable by external factors as opposed to random variations, and there's no evidence to suppose that these changes in DNA are readable in any other way than the usual creation of proteins required for functioning of the cell.
TL;DR: Split test a niche website, slam it with paid traffic, network like a mofo, make it easy to get in touch with you.

Good advice, in the abstract, but it feels like this post is hyping up the golden path, and totally ignoring the realities of the freelancing slog. I did it for years. Pipeline management SUCKS, at least for a not-so-social guy like me.

So these 5 leads...

Why just 5? Paid traffic and landing pages should be pretty scaleable. Are the 5 leads actually new people from web traffic, or is this the long tail of an in-network recruiting burst?

Are they actually quality leads? I could hit the craigslist gigs section and get you 5 leads in 30 seconds, but they're trash. What kinds of projects, on what timeline, and at what price, were these leads? If they're not sane organizations with 5k+ contracts, a disclaimer is needed. If they're 10k+ contracts, start a business selling them, I'll buy.

How long do they take to close? What's the closing like? The post mentions a chatbox on a website. Do people use it? What do they ask? I find those very corporate. if you're looking for JS-focused customers, do they also find those grating, like most tech people do?

The post says the rate was up and too high, and so he got a lot of requests. How many is a lot? What was the rate? What did it change to? How was that decision made? What was the customer response?

Basically, this post really light on unique content. It talks like it's selling the "secret sauce" but in reality, it's a painfully high level overview of some very boilerplate advice.

I want to hear about a real human experience, not a maybe-scaleable super high level overview of babbys first marketing engine.
"Yeah, so this is using only cameras and GPS. So there's no LIDAR or radar being used here. This is just using passive optical, which is essentially what a person uses. The whole road system is meant to be navigated with passive optical, or cameras, and so once you solve cameras or vision, then autonomy is solved. If you don't solve vision, it's not solved. So that's why our focus is so heavily on having a vision neural net that's very effective for road conditions." - Elon Musk, latest TED (https://www.ted.com/talks/elon_musk_the_future_we_re_buildin...)

I had some trouble too and tried some complicated setup with wslbridge and other stuff I don't even remember. But in the end I got it easily working by configuring this simple task in ConEmu (everything is working, including arrow keys):

%windir%\system32\bash.exe -c "cd ~ && bash"

If you want the nice Ubuntu icon, add this as task parameter:

-icon "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\lxss\bash.ico"

You can then use the ConEmu theme of your choice and the colors are far more readable than with the default console.
See default theme for instance:

> If we didn't do that, we'd be completely inundated with American shows flogged off on the cheap

Absolutely. I deleted it from my post, but I was going to mention that on non-primary Australian TV stations that don't have the same content restrictions, we get 2 hours of non-stop Big Bang Theory reruns, or endless repeats of Frasier, Sex And The City, Charmed & Becker.

> What kind of tv show do you consider 'culturally significant'?

Glitch is my favorite recent Australian TV show, started on ABC but apparently Season 2 has been sold as a Netflix exclusive. Back in the 90s it would have been shows like Seachange, Frontline, Kath & Kim. Maybe Offspring & Packed To The Rafters are recent equivalents.

(Outside Australia, I'd think of shows like The Bridge, Springfloden, The Killing & Occupied, that have exported Scandinavian culture onto Australian TV.)
I have no intention to productize my thoughts on burnout - I just know that one of the things that helped me the most was reading other people's accounts of what they went through. It took me a lot of searching to find the help I needed - if, by sharing, I'm able to make that a little easier for a few others, then I'll be happy.
I'm actually interested in all commercial ideas that got funded. That means there was enough things in place to generate confidence from someone else other than the (possibly deluded) founder(s). Once customer cashflow appears, the business recipe gets a partial validation and the entire context changes. In my view the part before that bears a higher risk and that makes it more important.
Wow that sounds bad.
I wouldn't doubt that guns shots are underreported. I lived in the "hood" in Milwaukee. I noticed them at first but they were so frequent that they soon blend in with the rest of the city noise. I had a new room mate move in. His first night he work me up in a panic:
"What was that?!!! It sounded like gun shots!".
Me: "I'm sure it was" - and rolled over. There were shots fired nearly every night. I can only guess, but I'd have to say most of those guns were not legal. I didn't once call them in. I doubt many other people did either.

Contrast that with my time living in a quiet suburb in another state. There was some public land nearby that would attract target shooters. Some neighbors were up in arms (no pun...) over it. While speaking with one neighbor she was worried about the "automatic" gunfire she could hear nearby and she was sure they were not out far enough from the neighborhood. She was right about one thing - it was in the neighborhood, but it was workers nailing sheeting on walls for a new house. They had multiple nail guns running as fast as they could. Yes - she had reported gun shots, many times. I'm sure some of them really were, but they were all very likely to be legal.
That's definitely fair, but I think if what you really want is a disc or a download, then you shouldn't back games that don't exist yet. Like I said, I won't invest in a game (or anything) that might not materialize unless I think there's some possibility for a payout--either the thing I want, or a nice experience.

So for those people who are mad, it's really more like going to the casino and expecting to get a huge windfall playing blackjack. Like yeah it might happen but don't think of it as an investment opportunity.

Using an SSH Certificate Authority is also my recommendation, but be aware that it's relatively new, so associated tooling with it is not super mature yet. In particular, the user still needs some bits in order to login, and whether they generate it themselves and send it off to get signed, or the bits are generated for them on the backend and the user simply needs to receive them, there's a management aspect to it that isn't a totally solved problem with open source tools.

It's not a difficult problem, mind you, but there was custom code written that runs on developer laptops (OS X and Ubuntu) to support this workflow.

(Despite being a very similar looking string of bytes as more traditional pub/private keys, it's different in the SSH-Agent protocol, so don't assume all ssh-agent-looking daemons support it.)
Disagree entirely - for me it hits the nail on the head immediately. And what a timely article given the impact on the NHS today. Are we seeing NSA tools used in the wild? The EU handed Microsoft its biggest fine and still we have this unacceptable state of affairs where we have secret code running public utilities and services, especially of a foreign/extra-judicial entity. Unfortunately getting out of that lock in is going to be tricky.

I've noticed a decline in Monarchs here in Northern California as well. The very few I do see are colored differently than when I was a kid.
They used to be a deep orange hue, but now they are all a pasty yellow color. At first I thought it was a different species. I've mentioned it to other people, but they don't really care. They're more interested in upgrading their cell phone or checking their instabook.
Probably not. We are dealing with a pre-trial motion by the defendant for dismissal. They are just implicitly admitting that plaintiff alleges that defendant used the software without a license, not that they actually did so.

To decide such a motion the court assumes that every fact alleged by the plaintiff is true, and then looks at each charge to see if all the necessary facts to support that charge are covered. If some charge is not covered, then that charge can be dismissed.

So what is happening here, it sounds like, is that the defendant is saying that plaintiff did not allege that defendant signed anything, and the defendant seems to think (for some reason I do not understand...) that you have to sign something in order to have a contract, and so wants the court to dismiss any charges that require there to be contract.

The court said that plaintiff has in fact alleged sufficient facts for there to be a contract, so denied the motion to dismiss.

Yes, the "outcome" to which I was referring was in fact the effect of dual-licensing.

With respect to the book chapter, as I interpret it, reciprocity includes asking for the licensee to open source their work. But I leave this to the experts to interpret definitively.

Assuming I am not misunderstanding, if the licensee "reciprocates", then there is no closed source and the "problem" I am alluding to goes away. Because users can now see the source code and theoretically they can determine where it came from.

(The problem being that GPL source code and the value thereof is sometimes "concealed" in closed source products. This is just my personal view. I may care about things that others do not. Opinions may differ.)
I also tried that. I got a phone off contract for really cheap (I think it was Verizon) and then tried to port it to T-Mobile. My connection was really flaky. I finally filed a claim on my insurance for my phone and switched to a nexus 5x. That solved the majority of my problems. Also each network is divided between bands, and phones sometimes only focus on specific bands. It doesn't really make a difference if your phone was made for a specific carrier, but if you are trying to transfer networks your radio might not be able to fully take advantage of the new network.

At a security seminar last year I got to hear an expert talk about tracking down ransomware over the course of a couple of years.

>Moving away from CDMA and supporting VoLTE is bound to happen even if Sprint stays solo. Other operators have plans to sunset CDMA (e.g. end 2019 for Verizon), and at some point it doesn't make sense to stay with a now legacy standard with no traction.

They backed themselves into a corner because they use unusual spectrum and don't have the funds to upgrade all their towers to modern technologies. It makes sense when you can't afford to upgrade.

T-Mobile has no plans to sunset GSM yet because it costs them very little to maintain, uses little spectrum, and allows legacy equipment to stay on the network. Some even predict they'll sunset WCDMA before GSM.

I ran into a similar problem when using Sucuri's Cloud Proxy. My nginx was configured to serve up Brotli compressed pages, and would work great as long as the first visitor to the site after a cache flush wasn't using chrome. If that happened, then the proxy would cache the Brotli encoded pages and serve them up to browsers that didn't support it and just show a bunch of junk.

Ended up ditching the Brotli compression.
