I run a small consultancy and while we have an accounting firm for tax prep and strategic advice and to tell us how to stay within IRS rules, we do our own transaction accounting (including payroll and 401k) using quickbooks. It would be much more expensive if we had to pay our accounting firm to do this work. I felt it would be useful to say you can do this stuff yourself since I see several posts here talking about paying accountants to to it.
I switched from LastPass to KeePassXC, and I like that I don't have a browser extension anymore. It seems like many of the security vulnerabilities discovered in LastPass were in the browser extension. Plus, the stand-alone app is nice.
If your friend is really pulling in $200k+ in Baltimore, and the reason is because he is very experienced and talented, I can promise him there is a $300k+ compensation package waiting for him in SF. $200k is just a bit above new grad comp at a place like Google or Facebook.

If he values home ownership, then Baltimore is much better situation for him for sure. If he doesn't, then it becomes much more of a tossup at that point and more variables come into play.
That's self-evidently false. Engineers have insight into the internal culture of a firm and how it may differ from public perceptions, not to mention their own opinions on the quality of the back end technology and awareness of future plans or possibilities.

My comments are about the website your service creates for freelancers, not your (Sieve PRO's) website itself: https://bighead.sievehq.com/

1. The "Start project with xxxx" button leads to a form which says "Please be ready to spend 15 minutes to complete this process". I think this is going to be a major turn off to many prospective clients of those freelancers.

2. If they enter their email, they get this: https://i.imgur.com/2K75S2Z.png . Is this supposed to be a prospect contacting this freelancer for the first time? If so then the majority of the freelancer's prospects are going to close the window at this point. Almost no potential freelancing client is going to sign up for a whole system just to share their idea. It's also immediately filled with error warnings. (And address 2 is required but shouldn't be).

3. "Lambda" is spelled wrong in the "Do you have any technology suggestions ?" section

4. As noted elsewhere, American dollars are written as $10 not 10$; this needs to be fixed in the budget dropdown.

5. The timeline dropdown says "budget".

6. In general this form asks a freelancer's potential prospects to answer a ton of information ahead of time and I feel that most just won't and the freelancer will lose the propsect. There needs to be a way to setup an initial contact without going through all this.
I think people like to blame companies for what are actually serious flaws in the models of businesses they run altogether. Even if Amazon was broken up, you'd still see the Chinese fake syndrome because that's more about how peer to peer internet based selling fails to work when gamed, and how cheap foreign manufacturing can be used to clone or game the market. Amazon made it worse mostly by comingling inventory, but there were big problems in the whole "yard sale" Ebay mode of internet business way before that.

Or with ebooks, the problem isn;t "Amazon is too big," it was publishers and authors choosing which standard is the least likely to increase piracy and drive sales, and the customers who actually pay for goods choosing the marketplace that best serves them. If not Amazon, it would have been Sony or Kobo, but it couldn't ever be Smashwords once authors found how often works were pirated from that open platform.

I think people look for scapegoats rather than look at the hard truths about how the internet as a whole isn't particularly working for many types of business models. A lot of the protections that have evolved around physical businesses simply aren't as easy to have or are even available in a net-connected global economy, and the net tends to try and revive a lot of the nasty unregulated models of work from the past as well. Piecework, and penny auctions for example.
when we talk about proven in the empiric sense a margin of error is always expected. but what "innocent until proven guilty" guarantees is that best efforts were made to make sure that someone is really guilty. Trial by social media cannot reasonably offer such guarantees.

Also, I presume you would agree that the police and by extension the court have better means than your average newspaper for determining guilt.

In Washington State, you don't have to enroll in school until you are 8 years old either. [0]

Pretty much every torrent software supports UPnP/NAT-PMP today. The problem was UPnP came a bit late - the spec was published only in 2008, and by that time everything was fire-walled off and required more-than-idiot-capability to expose.

uBlock Origin is GPL licensed. It collects no analytics. The code base is concise and highly legible. The primary maintainer (Raymond Hill) appears to be a principled man. I don't think that it has been independently audited, but I trust it more than most of the software on my computer.

> Seems like you'd need to be proficient in nodejs, go, java and javascript.

That's perfectly reasonable. Three imperative garbage-collected languages, two statically-typed, one dynamically-typed. That's easy enough to understand.

You would also likely need to be proficient with a shell and OS, and with all four toolchains.

Really, there is still only one backend (the shell), and one frontend (the browser). There is some overhead from using four separate runtimes, but that isn't a serious issue.

The greatest difficulty is communicating between each part and the OS/shell or each other. From what I can tell, this does the latter, each part communicating over a TCP socket.

That’s a bad argument. But, hey, you’re the expert who decides who can and cannot be in this industry.
It's also important to remember that innocent until proven guilty is a check on the otherwise unchecked, absolute, and final power of the state depriving a citizen of their fundamental rights by imprisoning them. If you are not a state, it may well still be a good ideal, but it's not nearly as binding on you—in much the same way that e.g. free speech is also a good ideal for individuals and companies but you are not obligated to avoid having opinions on the content of speech the way the state is.
I'm not sure that I follow. My point is that credible allegations of repeated rape and sexual assault should be career destroying even if they are not met with a guilty sentence in a court of law. I could not in good conscience let this person near my coworkers or colleagues for fear for their own physical safety. I don't need a court to send him to jail to make that assessment.
The title is a bit misleading. This is a documentation of current best practices / de factor standards in IRC. It's not a proposal on how to make IRC better.

One of the issues with metal is that it starts out as a ductile material and neutrons can embrittle it by introducing voids and dislocations. (i.e. basically moving the atoms around from their ordered crystal state) I'm sure some of the same mechanisms apply to ceramics but they're fairly brittle to start with so designs/applications using ceramics need to account for the fact that they're brittle from Day One.

A few goals we've kept clear:

* Trying to ensure all of our employees have a 40 hour week (or as close to it as possible).
* Making sure the cofounders have time - whether we're single or not - to spend time with friends and loved ones. That probably translates to simply not guilting each other into working too much - it's okay (and encouraged) to take a good weekend. And that's generally been the reality, too.

Are there other balance-related questions you have, or does that kind of answer it?

Does anyone have a great example of an app that just has sane AuthN and AuthZ examples with users and some sort of basic crud operations? I've been working professionally as a software engineer for five years and of the two companies I've worked at, the user role checking was custome roled and spread all throughout the stack. I feel like I've never seen a good example of something like this that's more complex than just user can or cannot edit. Something that entails groups and read/write permissions on those groups for userse. Right now, I'm working on an Elixir API, but it seems like most of the user role checking and builtins are all meant for AIO webapps instead of APIs.

> Whereas poor people are totally cavalier about their security?

i don't think that was the implication, in any respect.

> They think they are super rich because they are special, and so need protection.

this just seems like a sneering generalization. all throughout history wealthy people - especially those in the public eye, or otherwise with a degree of fame - are huge targets for burglary, kidnapping/ransom and other such things.

this isn't to "justify" anything in particular (i don't use facebook or follow news about zuckerberg or other facebook-related people).

> The truth being that they are super rich because they work as hard as the top 50% but were insanely lucky.

in my view, the sort of "better breed" narrative about rich people being superior tends to be something coming out of the conservative and right-libertarian direction; there if you're not rich, it's because you deserve to not be rich.

Obviously, but the idea that we can only have one standard or the other seems like a false dichotomy. Maybe we should be looking at how to take a more Bayesian approach to legal decision-making.
I'm a little amazed that you read all that, and still think it's so simple. Here's a simple counter argument to your "left of the dot" hypothesis:

setTimeout(foo.doStuff, 0);

When `doStuff` executes, `this` will not point to `foo`, even though it was "left of the dot". This same counter argument applies to every usage of a function as a first-class value.
It's a clustered bubble chart that's been ordered. Clever.
No. First, "neutrality" is itself an agenda. Second, even dedicating yourself to some ideal of balance or data-driven journalism or another "objective" standard, editorial choices are still required to direct limited resources--money, column inches--that will inevitably reflect the publication's perspective on what's important and what's not.
What about IRCv3? http://ircv3.net
Nonsense. It's not a question of whether you understand `this` or not, it's a question of whether thinking about the different cases of `this` is really a good use of your time. Alternately: `this` is poorly designed and gets in your way.

Here's an example of a recent production bug:

async.timeout(server.close, 60000)(exit)

And one way to fix:

async.timeout(cb => server.close(cb), 60000)(exit)

In case the problem is non-obvious (that's the point!), the first line loses the binding to the specific `server` in question. Lovely. `this` in JS forces the consumer of a module (in this case `server`) to have knowledge of how the module represents its state in order to use it. That's not a good pattern.
That’s my whole point; what is the justification for thinking the “practice” for Secure Boot is going to be so dystopian? I’ve been hearing the same thing about TPMs for ten years, and that never materialized. Considering even the specifically DRM-oriented features like trusted path still aren’t being used often by software that uses DRM, I think it’s jumping at shadows to cast everything with secure in the name as a DRM solution waiting in the wings.
You are equating optimization to making money.
> using his money to reduce the need for the security he's implementing

how would that be accomplished? ostensibly, the money's existence is what creates that need.

perhaps you mean he should give it all away?
It would be better to remove H1b quota, but considering that US voters in aggregate do not want that, replacing lower-paid H1b workers with higher-paid H1b workers is the logical choice. At least it may help to eliminate H1b lottery and make H1b processing more predictable.
To a certain degree. If you're unfamiliar with OpenBSD, security is basically its #1 priority and it's often recommended when you want better security on your server

> 12/ Or do you allow cross-compilation? Then the access to underlying system undermines "iOS" walled approach. Only "certified apps" isn't so interesting to most people.

I don't get this point. How does ARM translate to "walled garden"? I see no reason to tie ARM and the walled garden-approach together, just because that's the way it is on mobile. Non-certified apps would work just fine on OSX if the developers build for ARM.

Assumption 1: Most interesting OSX apps are active ones, where the authors have the source code, and are thus able to cross-compile and publish ARM binaries.

Assumption 2: Due to volume (and using an indenpendent foundry) the A11 chip is at least 10x cheaper than an Intel CPU.

I'd love to see a Macbook with 10xA11s, for a total of 20 high-performance cores, even if it can only run non-legacy apps ("legacy" meaning apps that depend on x86 code somehow).

Does anyone know how much space the four inefficient cores on the A11 take up? Perhaps the A11 volume is just so large that Apple can spit them out at a cost so low that it doesn't matter if four of the cores remain unused? I don't think they'd be of much use in a Macbook -- at least not the 40 of them that would be available in a 10xA11 setup.

This is a very good point. Create a diversion to move people's attention away from the State's failures or underperformance; political theater all the way.

This is not to say that an opioid crisis does not exist, only that it is being used for nefarious purposes.

It's not rocket science to predict the outcome, based on current events: opioids become so difficult to get, even for legitimate purposes like breakthrough cancer and post-surgical pain, that the genuine users suffer along with the so-called abusers; politicos declare victory; and we get stuck with more dangerous pain relief that has not (yet) come under scrutiny.

This is another turn of the screw that crushes the populace a little further into servitude.

Hyperbole? No.

Taken together with the other almost invisible attacks on our freedoms, such as

- not being able to deposit $5,000 or more in totally legitimate cash without being reported to the finance cops,

- the loss of 7th amendment rights by more and more contracts incorporating mandatory binding arbitration clauses, and

- the need for good credit ratings effectively forcing us to have at least some debt,

a reasonable person will surely agree that the sum of these, and upcoming, small tyrannies, if unchecked, will leave most of us in servitude to the State and the "Corporate State".
I don't disagree, the original question was how to vet an API though, and I think it's a valid thing to look for.
I wish the elites would stop constantly blaming magical powers that somehow manipulate the poor, deluded masses and instead possibly consider that people don't trust the elites because they are divorced from the masses and populate ideas that will harm them.

Arguments like this really are arguments that we need much more control of the discourse to choke out ideas that challenge the elite mode of thinking. The writer is more along the lines of educating the tech barbarians, but it isn't much of a step to direct control when the barbarians don't particularly want to be educated.

The idea that maybe the elite should reflect a bit never really occurs.

I did not compare to Tensorflow XLA but I compared it to Tensorflow. Of course, it depends on the problem. For instance, for evaluating the Hessian of x'Ax MC is a factor of 100 faster than TF. But MC and TF have different objectives. TF more on scalar valued functions as needed for deep learning, MC for the general case, especially also vector and matrix valued functions as needed for dealing with constraints. But I will give TF XLA a try.
That's why I mentioned it since it seems to be something like 90% of the bugs I've seen related to this. It's not a coincidence that this is the example used in the article.

No, I don't think I'm cherry-picking when it comes to what communist and Nazi symbols represent. Any comparison between the two is simply unaware of their respective roles. True, both have been adopted by oppressive, murderous regimes, but communist symbols have mainly represented -- to this day -- the idea of worker solidarity, and have been used by hundreds of democratic parties throughout the world. This is not true for Nazi symbols.
