The state median household income includes high school dropouts working at McDonald's, and it includes folks living in very affordable rural areas with low wages. It's not a meaningful point of comparison when you're looking at a subset of workers who are highly educated and seeking jobs in a technically demanding field at companies located in almost exclusively expensive metro areas.

To add to that, the Massachusetts median household income is nearly $70k. And in Boston? It's almost $80k. Moreover, the median family income in Boston is $100k.

Weed is actually a perfect example of the utility of this platform. The sale of recreational marijuana is legal in some US states and other parts of the world. The main hurdle for online retailers of controversial industries is the lack of support from financial institutions. The same problem can manifest itself indirectly with any service a business relies on.

If you build a commerce platform on top of old infrastructure, you will be subject to old social and moral constraints. To build a truly free commerce platform you have to start from scratch.

It's gotten to the point where I have so much trouble keeping focused at work.

Are you sure you're not expecting too much of yourself? Keeping focused is pretty difficult for programmers in general, we often need breaks to recharge. Famous Joel Spolsky essay related to this called Fire & Motion:

Conflating economic with government / ideological constructs is a common trap. Centralised & planned economies are common everywhere, I think, but in 'the west' they're just masked a bit more creatively -- and, of course, they're not planned by the state.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Davis_(Pennsylvania) - 3,213 ft - highest point in PA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tejon_Pass - 4,160 ft

Tejon Pass is on I-5 in northern LA County, and it is a huge trucking route. The grade is very steep between the Central Valley and the top of the pass, and is fairly challenging for trucks. There is no equivalent to those conditions in PA.

Also, if your impression of Tahoe is only the heavily touristed parts, your view is incomplete. The mountain roads in the Sierras have no equivalent east of the Mississippi.
Create some open source projects in the field you are interested in! This is a great way to demonstrate that you know what you're doing, especially if others are using your project and collaborating with you. When I interview people I always look at their GitHub and dig into their work. Just make sure that your code has tests and has ok documentation.

Bonus: if one of them gets popular you'll have companies coming to you.
That's a great point. I'm distracted a bit by how you built a project for a year without understanding what the business strategy was going to be. Some big time comms breakdown there eh?

Given that these companies 'own' the software with which their employees are communicating, and 'own' the hardware their employees are using, it should be entirely possible for them to extract key logs from either or both of those endpoints, which would mean they could happily use TLS 1.3 with no problem.

However, these organisations have a) invest large sums of money in packet-capture appliances that do all this for them on their network, b) deployment of endpoint logging to all client machines is 'hard', and c) they usually don't actually own the software services - they licence ancient things that won't do key export and still have decades until they are EOL'd.

They claim that weakening TLS 1.3 is the only way, but really it's the _cheaper_ way, and they just don't want to take the alternative.

One of my main complaints about cs in university is that they didn't teach how to put their effort and energy into their projects in a healthy and sustainable way. Many students ended up learning the 'magic binge' approach you're talking about.

It depended on that seemingly random lightning bolt of inspiration combined with almost manic mental energy to work crazy hours to get it done. If you've ever worked through the night, met someone who _expects_ future crunch times (aka. binges), or put off working on something important because you just weren't feeling it right now, then you know what I'm talking about.

The closest analogy I've found is writing. Experienced professional authors most commonly give out the advice to work on it consistently, every day, whether you're feeling it or not. I feel like that heavily applies to programming too. If you care about a project, for work or for your self, you've got to make it part of a routine. Pick your days and time that you're going to work on it, then sit down and work whether you're super excited and have 'flow' or not. I think that after a short amount of time each session, you'll find you are creating the inspiration rather than waiting for it to find you.
If you're up on the backstory here, you'll realize that the type of snooping done in those orgs (bluecoat mitm) is still supported by the 1.3.

I don't know. I could easily see myself being the type of person who would have a lot of fun (and get a lot of fulfillment) during a bootcamp, but be bored out of my mind shortly into my first real job. I get a lot more enjoyment out of learning new things than I do from pure programming. I've been lucky that through my career I've gotten to work on some amazing projects at top of the line companies, so there's a decent amount of learning happening day-to-day -- far more than I am sure happens at run of the mill in-house developer jobs. But even then, I found that I dislike jobs that involve programming all day long, so I gradually transitioned into other roles where I can still use my technical skills but don't spend most of my time writing code. I definitely didn't have that clarity of preferences until I'd actually been doing the real job for a little bit, because it's way different from class.

Capitalism is very simple. Capitalism as an economic system is essentially defined as the process of private expropriation of public wealth. Technically, the Earth is every creature’s inheritance but we in our late modern wisdom have conceded that only a select handful of people will get to profit from its resources while the rest are forced by either gunpoint or starvation to serve them forever or die.

Yeah, no.

Look, I'm not a rah-rah capitalism guy, but the fact is that the vast majority of wealth is based on human labor, the labor of individuals, applied to nature. While the latter certainly has a strong claim on being public wealth (a commons) the wealth produced by a human's labor belongs rightly to that person. (Economic rents then tend to concentrate that wealth, but that's a separate topic.)

There is an economic third way alternative to capitalist rent seeking and socialist totalitarianism: distributism. For a modern introduction to this idea, this is a good book:

https://www.amazon.com/Vocation-Business-Social-Justice-Mark...

Some people will be put off by the catholic moral basis, others by the term "Social Justice", but it's a good read for a different way to look at both the history of economics and the economic situation we find ourselves in today.
With the increase in speed limit on the turnpike, DC has become just under 4 hours for me. From my house in the city to the Silver Spring metro stop is 3h 55m on the GPS. Toronto is a 6 hour drive, Charlotte or Chicago are also only a 7 hour drive. I know many people prefer to fly, but between getting to the airport, getting there in enough time (1.5 hours or so), probable delays, actually flying, getting out of the other airport, and getting to your preferred destination, you are looking at a time frame that is either less than, equal to, or within a 2 hour time frame of what it takes to fly. Criticism of international flights is completely valid, but between MegaBus and driving, I feel like a lot of cities are relatively easy to get to. As for international flights, I know a lot of friends who will take a MegaBus to NYC, Toronto, DC, or Philly and just fly round trip out of there. There are a lot of overnight or close to overnight MegaBus routes to those places.

What is "GFW" in this context?
The article states:

Who exactly are "enterprise network operators"? That's a rather vague term for something so central to the drama. Can anyone clarify?
Thanks for pointing this out. I may have overlooked this article otherwise. As a non-physicist I can't say I've ever come close to understanding the problem of integrating gravity with QFT and this statement alone really helped.
It's a frame of reference problem. Note that this article is published by a library research group. One of the hottest topics in library science is how to archive and reference the WWW. While it's entirely valid to view the Million Dollar Web Page as a decaying artifact (let's call this the Art Critic view), it is also possible to view it as an archaeological record that needs its links to be complete (let's call this the archaeologist view).
First, with the caveat of obviously not knowing you or your job, it's my experience that it's rarely the case that an area as broad as "writing internal web applications" is actually inherently boring to a person. The parable of the stonecutters come to mind, are you cutting stone or are you building a cathedral? Find out what energises you. Think back, what were good days and what did you do? Try to do more of that, try to make the work you do more like that kind of work.

Of course, there are plenty of jobs that aren't remotely in the cathedral building business, and if that's the case, start networking. Get on Meetup and attend some meetings or hackathons or startup weekends or whatever. Your skills are generally in demand, so focus on getting inspiration for what might interest you, or meeting people that you think you'd enjoy working with, and let that guide your job search.

And don't let internal webapps scare you. Building a "boring" app for a team that does good things with it and appreciates your work can be very satisfying.

I don't think we have enough data to be sceptical about the presence of certainty of life on other planets. We've only found ~3,700 planets other than Earth - and only ~20 of those are near the size of Earth[0]. We couldn't even see those planets directly until very recently, so it doesn't seem certain (to me, a layman) that we could even identify Earth as having life, at the same resolutions. That's assuming that we would recognize life, if we saw it. (Side note: Children of Men is a book I recently read that touches on this topic. )
I'll admit that I am very optimistic about the presence of advanced life on planets other than Earth, so this is definitely influencing my outlook.

Assuming they're using it properly. I remember cracking a Mifare Ultralight based bus fare system. It seemed sound as the Ultralight had write-once blocks or blocks that you could decrement depending on the card's configuration, so you could make it that a block has the number of trips remaining on the card, each time you validate the card it decrements it and there was no way to increment it.

The issue in their case was that 1) they didn't set the configuration of the card properly, so the blocks they were using weren't actually configured to be decrement only, and 2) the validation machines checked whether a card had enough trips and then decremented the block without checking whether the decrement was successful. I was able to make the remaining fares block read-only while the card was full, essentially making an infinite card.

Rust is getting to be popular for graphics and games, precisely because it has the performance of, and easy interoperability with, C, without GC, and in a much more modern environment.

Low memory requirements means portability to memory-constrained platforms. Interoperability with C presumably also implies easier access to low-level resources such as GPUs, and being able to take advantage of existing libraries for C, such as SDL.

People are also experimenting with Go in the same space, but it seems much less promising. Go is notoriously slow at calling C (or being called from C) due to goroutine context save/restore. It also has GC and a runtime.

I don't see what's wrong with venting frustrations with particular technologies. It helps no one if people just move on silently.

>I think people underestimate how difficult it is to teach yourself,

I wanted to give some counterpoint to that. The point is not to argue with you because you clearly felt that it was "difficult" so by extension, it makes sense to project the learning obstacles out the world so we know they are there. You felt there were hurdles and that's all in the past so we can't argue with what you felt.

(Hopefully, the above was said with enough empathy to not sound critical because one has to be open-minded about the following observation...)

There are others[1] who think that the discipline for self-teaching is the baseline skill for average computer programmers and that attending "coding bootcamps" is a negative signal. I believe the thinking is... if one requires coding bootcamps to learn Javascript/Ruby/Mongo, it doesn't instill confidence in the hiring manager that the person will be able to learn new topics on-the-job that will be more difficult, with an undefined curriculum, under tighter deadlines.

If people still want to say "fuck off" to the types of people that look down on coding bootcamps, that's fine as long you're aware that the hiring prejudices are out there and you have consciously chosen to ignore those companies.
