> You don't normally design with someone actively trying to destroy your building in mind.

You do, actually. When designing a building, one considers many "attacks" it can be subject to, depending on the geography and demography of the site: what are the precipitation patterns like, what is the situation WRT sysmical activity, how is the soil, what is beneath, what is the crime rate in the area, what kind of animals live there, where does the wind tend to come from, how much sunlight is received, etc. etc., about all of these questions are in one way or another is relevant to security of a building, and you have to consider each and every one of them, and design accordingly. You don't design against destruction because that's hardly possible, there isn't much you can do to mitigate someone bombing a building or attacking with heavy machines. Think of that as analogous to using the ME in an Intel CPU.
Where is this? In the UK and from what I could see in the US it would be included.
There may be other options depending on whether you consider JavaScript or Go to be a functional language.

So, basically, take a document timestamping service that is decentralized, and
throw away this one and only progressive feature of blockchain by making it
have something that resembles central authority.

It doesn't sound like the team of economists was assisted by any
cryptographers (the "Polish Technology Accelerator Blockchain" has none in
their team, so it's not surprising). They may have the competence to design
a financial system, but technology-wise it's headed towards failure.

Yes, I did... But, I didn't wake up one day with the idea of building killer Wall Street robots, all came together as natural progression:

First I wrote some programs to back test different trading ideas, then I used the best ideas to create sort of stock scanner to give me the best possibilities for a trade, then I wrote an alert system to alert me what to buy, then with the APIs being available from different brokers, I started automating the entries and the last step was to develop sort of monitoring to monitor and exit my trades...

No. This article is a lying pile of garbage. Just no. Even the premise of the article is completely flawed. There is no 'medical' cannabia and 'recreational' cannabis. All of the cannibinoids have benefits. I'm getting sick of reading these kinds of articles on marijuana that are written by people who don't have a clue what they're talking about spreading misinformation to people.
Looking for a new developer job, we need to invest quite some time - tech screening call, code challenges, whiteboard interviews etc., before we get to speak to the company about the team, the role and company's approach to engineering.

We want to rebalance the information asymmetries that currently exist in the tech hiring process. You can research and compare engineering teams based on reviews from current and former dev employees and review your team by playing some poker.
Focus on Java, since 99% of online examples on the beginner side will be in Java and learning two language on top of Android will be a lot. There is no need to master Java before you begin learning Kotlin, but currently being able to convert between the two is still a requirement for effective development. Kotlin simply makes your life easier as a Java developer.

I have recently been using Seamonkey as my day to day browser (Seamonkey is good on OpenBSD). I am really enjoying the fresh take on the user interface … but of course it actually has a very old take on a user interface … I've just forgotten.

I think that much of what passes for user interface design is mere fashion. While a bad user interface is eternal, it doesn't seem possible to have a good one over any length of time.

We use gitlab CI for pipelines which is great. You can figure out when everything was deployed last etc. We even built our own dashboard using gitlab api that shows all the latest deploys, just so its easier to track down what was recently deployed if we are investigating issues.
Really? I though the least realistic thing on TV were the people given the perfect hair, make up and just genetic beauty.

Its pretty obvious that Microsoft made a deal with the studio and Broadcasting companies. Just like the popularity of auto bots to pick Chevys and the Decepticons some how fine de-badged fords or the fact that Marvel is full of Audi's. If you open your eyes you will find brand placement everywhere.

Now to the Surfaces, Currently I have switched over three departments to Surface Pros last year (2017). Each employee has a docking station hooked up to duel monitors, keyboard and mouse. So far I have been surprised how well they worked out, mostly that no one has dropped them. I have had few complaints. They run good, they can be used off site and are easily portable. I have also used in with the kick stand on my lap with no issue. Maybe we have different body types. Overall was not a big fan when they decided to do the first department upgrade but I would deploy them with no problem now.
This is pretty awesome. Kudos to the author. It's cool to see the thought process around designing for clarity instead of purely simplicity on high-impact systems like this.
Why can't people do both prism break stuff and build new ISPs? Those can be complementary. The new ISPs could be built with freedom-respecting FOSS software and hardware.

Also could you elaborate on "limit advertising servers and telimetry servers so as to diminish the unspoken incentive the repeal of net neutrality and operating systems that do not respect privacy." What is the unknown incentive? Aren't there other incentives other than advertising and telemetry?
Yeah, I've completely stopped buying this idea that software engineers just need to do what all the other engineers do to improve. Let me know when someone engineers an n-dimensional bridge.

For that matter, let me know when your engineers have built something as complex as the AWS infrastructure, by which I mean, every single service they offer, by information content (something like Kolmogorov complexity). There are some disciplines like power management that certainly have some very large and impressive things that I don't wish to diminish, but the idea that software engineering needs to go learn from all the other engineers is an idea stuck in a very 1970s view of what a "large project" looks like.

I am abundantly confident that if you took the amount of engineering done to build something like the Golden Gate bridge today, then took all those man-hours and saw how much software you could get for the same amount, that you'd be surprised how small the result is. Not that it wouldn't be a good chunk of hours to play with, and it would be much larger than many phone apps or web sites, but if you stack it up to something like a browser or a usable OS kernel I'm pretty sure you'd find that the very visually-imposing bridge is actually orders of magnitude, plural, simpler. I say this not because I don't respect civil engineers, but because I also respect just how quickly big computer projects can chew through the man-centuries. No bridges would get built if each one individually required engineering effort commensurate to a new web browser.

It's past time for programmers to get over their inferiority complex. A sober look at what the programming world does vs the other engineering fields shows that all things considered, we're doing pretty well. Still a huge amount of room for improvement, but we're not doing so badly that we need to go running off to other completely different disciplines to drag in irrelevant, if not actively harmful, practices that are unconnected to the problems we face.
> Why did they halt expansion?

Because it's cheaper to upgrade their existing phone network to VDSL than to install new fiber. Basically, they already own a nation-wide copper phone network, the fiber network was a competitor. They bought the competitor and halted expansion so they could squeeze some more money out of their existing copper network. The official PR bullshit is that by upgrading the copper network they can offer high speed internet to more people in a shorter amount of time than by expanding the fiber network.

> Would they not make enough profit outside of denser metropolitan areas?

The denser metropolitan areas are the main areas where there is no fiber yet. It's the more rural areas that have the best fiber penetration.

Few things,

There are limits on how long you can keep your generators running without causing mechanical damage - hence two generators.

Redundant power company only charges for usage, there is a small recurring fee for connectivity. If Power goes out from one provider, online UPS kicks in - we switch to secondary power-company if there is a long downtime.This happens about 4-5 times a year - longest blackout was 12 hours to the best of my recollection.

When you provide internet service for SME, Banks, and some large-scale corps - redundancy and SLA plays a huge role. Home users benefit from this too.

I probably should have been more clear.
Isn't the key point that brain functions can rely on specific localised areas, that when those areas connections to other areas are disrupted then behaviours can be altered.

> Developed countries tend to have a lower fertility rate due to lifestyle choices associated with economic affluence where mortality rates are low, birth control is easily accessible and children often can become an economic drain caused by housing, education cost and other cost involved in bringing up children. Higher education and professional careers often mean that women have children late in life. This can result in a demographic economic paradox.

Eco-system-wise you might want to try compiling from a functional language to JS and target Node.js -- Bucklescript or GHCJS would be my choices. That way you get access to all of the libraries on NPM.
From my limited research Germany and Australia seem good, though it doesn't seem easy in Germany if you want to become a citizen. With more and more job losses and automation, I think this hysteria against (legal) immigration is only going to grow, justified or not. There would always be a place for people with highly valued skills though.

I wonder if there are smaller countries (like Estonia etc) which might be worth exploring.

On this topic, does anyone know of any resource that can ask a series of questions (age, qualifications etc) and suggest countries they are qualified for?
>> This is certainly not the case for all trans women. You may not feel like you
need to join a community like this, but I don't think it's fair to then speak
for/to the trans community saying that none of us should.

I accept that there are differences between trans women, but I believe my
description covers a strong majority. I don't speak "for" anyone, of course.

>> It ends up with us being excluded _everywhere_ because of some dubious concept
of "socialisation", as if every trans woman has the same experiences such that
you can discriminate based on it.

I agree that the concept of "socialisation" is vague and hard to define. The
problem is that there are differences in the way men and women behave in a
social context and because these differences end up harming women (usually)
they need to be addressed. It's easy to see that boys and girls are brought up
differently (different toys, different advise, being told off for different
things etc) so that's a likely explanation. The alternative is usually a
biological explanation about male and female brains generating male and female
behaviours. We don't really understand how brains generate any behaviours so I
find the biological explanation to be very suspicious. The "socialisation"
explanation sounds a lot more straightforward.

Of course there are differences between trans women, in behaviour as well as
upbringing. There are differences between men, and between women. Yet, here we
are with a tech indudstry that is, in aggregate, unfair or hostile to women,
but not to men. You can't predict the behaviour of individuals, but you can
make fairly accurate predictions for the kind of behaviours that arise in
groups. That's why a community like Leap is needed in the first place.

My concern is that in the case of women-only spaces where trans women are
welcome, many trans women will join, responding to their need to belong, which
you express and which I feel myself. And that given enough trans women
joining, a few of them will eventually display those behavioural traits you can
expect from people who grew up like men and that are the traits the community
seems to want to keep out.

I agree that feeling excluded from everywhere is harsh and feels extremely
unfair. But we can't fix unfair by making more unfair. We can't make the world
fair for ourselves by making it more unfair for others. At the end of the day,
the way forward is true equality. If trans women are accepted as women, and
women are accepted as equal to men (in technology, or anywhere), trans women
will not need to feel excluded from anywhere.

But this is not yet the case and I really think that trans women need to give
some space to cis women until it is and in order to help make it so.

>> Often!

And thanks for letting me have one, too. My experience is that it happens, but
rarely.

We're going to see a multitude of design hot takes here over the next 10 days, but I think most of these designers are missing the problem. The interface that caused this failure isn't because the system lacked designers. This design was created by being handcuffed by bureaucracy, with no strong leadership in place to solve the problems that were caused.

Cloudflare Access: Like BeyondCorp, but You Don’t Have to Be at Google to Use It
Our apps are made by 5-15 (micro)services. I'm not sure if this approach would scale to hundreds of services managed by different teams.

We store the source code for all services in subfolders of the same monorepo (one repo <-> one app).
Whenever a change in any service is merged to master, the CI rebuilds _all_ the services and pushes new Docker images to our Docker registry.
Thanks to Docker layers, if the source code for a service hasn't changed, the build for that service is super-quick, it just adds a new Docker tag to the _existing_ Docker image.

Then we use the Git commit hash to deploy _all_ services to the desired environment. Again, thanks to Docker layers, containers that haven't changed from the previous tag are recreated instantly because they are cached.

From the CI you can check the latest commit hash that was deployed to any environment, and you can use that commit hash to reproduce that environment locally.

Things that I like:

- the Git commit hash is the single thing you need to know to describe a deployment, and it maps nicely to the state of the codebase at that Git commit.

Things that do not always work:

- if you don't write the Dockerfile in the right way, you end up rebuilding services that haven't changed --> build time increases

- containers for services that haven't changed get stopped and recreated --> short unnecessary downtime, unless you do blue-green

It’s most likely that there was a new impairment in the brain that made them change their behavior and they didn’t know that they would be better at the new task.
Imagining using this 3-page design makes me feel uncomfortable at step 2 and 3. What if I didn't know what the "test" notification was supposed to look like and wanted to make sure the system took my input correctly? What if it's such a dire emergency that the operator forgets (perhaps from experiencing intense anxiety) which one was selected? I think a stronger approach would be to flatten the design to one page. You could then visually confirm that you've chosen a test/real alert, which alert was chosen, and then see what those options actually produce. In addition, because of the seriousness of sending an alert, I think it would be better to make the "Yes, Send Now" button harder to engage — maybe a slide to send, press and hold to send, or simply give a confirmation dialog after clicking it would help.
If you cv on a dataset, then change the features (or hyperparameters) and cv again, picking the best model, then you will will overfit to the cv. This is data leakage, it will lead you to be overly optimistic about your model performance on unseen data.

In the 1970s, I read about people doing this at MIT or some such, on real computers. Our high school had a Nova 1220 minicomputer, but we had no access to assembly for it, so all I could do was write programs in BASIC.

After a bit of experimentation, I was able to produce two or three distinct tones of discordant buzzing with loops.

'When designing a building, one considers many "attacks" it can be subject to'

Your use of scare quotes is appropriate, because there is a qualitative difference between intelligently-driven and unintelligent attacks. Not to mention the intelligently-driven attacks when the attackers are manifestly more intelligent and skilled than the defenders! If computer security experts didn't have to worry about intelligent attackers, computer security would be very nearly a solved problem.

I'm curious how you think that could actually happen. If the value is $100 billion and it changes hands once per year, then that's $100 billion that changed hands, and the GDP is $100 billion. If it changed hands twice, that's a GDP of $200 billion.

Note that I'm not making a price prediction; I'm just saying that if the price is low, and the velocity isn't unrealistically high, then that necessarily means that Bitcoin is playing a minor role in the economy because it trivially implies a low aggregate value of transactions.

Conversely if the price is high, Bitcoin still might be playing a minor role, if the average velocity is very low because lots of people are holding coins for a long time. But for Bitcoin to play a major role in the economy, it would need either a high price or a high velocity, so the aggregate value of transactions is a major portion of GDP.

A really high velocity would require fast and extremely cheap conversions with fiat, so you can hold fiat and convert to/from bitcoin at transaction time.
It's about a storage of value. To be able ta have a place to put what you have earned and not worry that the inflation is slowly eating it up. Apart from precious metals an example of asset of this type we already have would be real estate. And I don't think that in itself it's causing things like starvation.

I'm not 100% certain though about the assumption I made at the beginning that you are questioning. I do believe it's better for society if we have it, but I don't think I've read enough history and economy books to be super confident about it. Money makes money and the gap between poorest and richest surely is getting wider. Even in inflationary economy. However I don't know any 10,11 figure VC who isn't worried about that and is not trying to do something to protect those at the bad end of the spectrum (yeah, I don't know many VCs this is just a quote from some Eric Weinstein interview).
Go with Java first. Kotlin fixes a lot of Java flaws and provides many Java-compatible solutions to those. Without knowing the flaws, you probably would have a hard time understanding the solutions.
Also the Store is a deal-breaker for B2B apps. It is not acceptable to not be able to make available an emergency hot fix when your customer somehow depends on your desktop application to make her own money.

The Store publishing latency is probably acceptable for free B2C apps, but not for B2B applications.

You should probably also keep in mind that this isn't a consumer app. Who ever uses this will have seen the entire process before and tested it in a training environment. The redesign seems mostly to focus on making sure stuff isn't done by accident.
In my opinion, the worst long-term consequence will be that even having newer CPUs with the issues fixed in hardware, we'll have a performance impact because of code compiled to work with both old and new CPUs. Just like the case of having a new CPU with fancy features unused because of code compiled to be backwards compatible.

I’m no cryptocurrency fanatic, but you can’t set up a mutually exclusive dichotomy between the terms asset and currency as the latter is a proper subset of the former: currency you own is an asset of yours, currency you owe is an asset of somebody else's (a debt).

Pedantry aside, however, I agree with you that these ‘tokens’ are cryptoassets, entities whose only saving grace is their deliberately manufactured scarcity.

That's all block chains are, really: methods of manufacturing scarcity on a distributed, open medium.
