The comment you're referring to implies yes, and it's often applied to very specific pieces of code instead of the entire program.

I have also seen a similar obfuscation, although perhaps not using The Movfuscator, many years ago in some shareware. You could probably guess which parts of the code used it; it even looks very distinctive when you open the binary in a text editor for a quick glance.

I'm not sure I believe that "most often" employers want this. I did quite a few interviews last year, and I was freaked out because I didn't know any of the latest frameworks. I didn't even know Angular. But no one cared. As long as you understand the problem frameworks are trying to solve, then you're good.

And btw, I interviewed with some relatively big tech names - Squarespace, Blue Apron, etc.

Edit: most of them did list specific frameworks, but upon an actual interview, they revealed that they didn't really care if you had worked with it before as long as you understand basic MVC stuff.

No they don't, not even close. The beers you're referring to cost that for a _12_ pack. 6 packs are ~$5.50, and you can walk into a bar and get a draft old domestic for around $2.00. Wherever you're buying your e.g. Bud Light, it doesn't represent "most places".

Many of us learned in classrooms. At the end of the day you have to sit down at a keyboard and try things. How your filing your head before that I think comes down to the learning styles you’re comfortable with.
I've recently been having issues with Sublime randomly freezing and restarting (may be due to a package, but I'm not going to waste my time verifying what packages are misbehaving out of the hundreds I have installed), I've gone back to Vim.

Right, they don't want to have to pay you to do the learning.

It's usually not "how to get a simple task done with React" – many engineers can get there very quickly – but rather having an understanding of best-practices in terms of architecting your application.

Angular, well, can take a while to learn how to use properly.

I agree that this is a low amount, but I don't think the goal of a program like this is necessarily to fully pay for the cost of the project. After all, the winner hopefully has a useful asset at the end of it (a spacecraft, or self-driving car, or whatever else). I think it's more of a subsidy: "if you were thinking about designing a spaceship, here's a way to get it done for $20 million cheaper."
Abstract mediums of exchange/wealth storage usually decrease in real world utility the more abstracted they become. But they are also more "advanced" so to speak, or useful for modern purposes.

Maybe that's not put very well. Look at it like this.

Primitive civilizations (some of which still exist today) may store their wealth in something like cattle. Often exactly cattle in fact. Obvious real world utility. But cumbersome to trade, can't grow the economy fast, lots of drawbacks and it limit how complex the culture can become.

As civilization gets more complex it moves on to other mediums. Next might be useful metals (tin, bronze, iron). Less immediate use than cattle, slightly more abstracted. Then maybe precious metals or stones, less practical use then the previous stage, even more abstracted. But easier to move around, trade, store and calculate with. Then currency, even more abstracted and even less practical use. Then digital currency in the form IOUs and ledger balances which is essentially what we have now. 0 practical use. Essential for any modern economy.

Point being, "real world use" has nothing to do with value as a currency, a store of wealth or an economic unit in this time and place. The worth is abstracted functionality. And it's entirely possible, in fact even likely in my opinion that blockchains are an evolution along these lines, a next step in abstracting units of trade and ledgers of wealth.

I personally experience this if I forget to take or try to stop taking duloxetine (also known as Cymbalta). It is one of the more annoying and frankly disconcerting withdrawal symptoms.

I have no clue about what it takes to run a profitable insurance business, so no opinion on the soundness of that practice.

But I certainly do use metadata about people's communication in my general assessment of their relevance, trustfulness, clue level, etc. Do you use a Hotmail address? Well then, you really are out of it. Gmail? A lot sleaker, yes, but our conversation will be under third party scrutiny, and chances are that you haven't thought that part of it through. Your work mail for a private correspondance? I wouldn't do that in a million years, so yeah, your total score just went down a notch. Is that an Outlook client I see you're using? Fine, but sort of humdrum, and you are probably the kind of person who will send me .docx documents to read, and make a fuss when you get them back, formatting screwed up. And so on and so forth, most of it subconscious, but the evaluations stick, and mostly turn out to be accurate.

Password managers make me nervous for two reasons: (1) if someone breaches the password manager, they have all your passwords, rather than one, and (2) you have to trust the source of the password manager that it doesn't have an intentional backdoor - even if it was trustworthy, every update is the potential for a new problem.

Also, in my experience, you're not allowed to use one at work, so what do you think people do?

Pro tip: Make savoury food. Anything with a high oil/butter content is good, and because it's savoury the "plant" flavour can be more easily masked by other herbs than you can in sweets.

Personally, I find stroganoffs to be really good, as well as things like small pies/quiches that you can mix the butter into the pastry.

Note: I haven't tried any American edibles and not sure how well the sweets mask the flavour - but for the home cook, a sausage roll that then welds you to your sofa is a good thing!

Its obvious why this is happening; some form of statistical modeling or AI correlated having a hotmail account with being higher risk.

This is a serious problem with all AI that makes decisions like this. Having a Hotmail account is a symptom of a problem which could lead to higher risk, but it is judging that symptom as if it is a cause which leads to risk.

Its exactly similar to the supposition that black people statistically commit more crime, and thus should pre-emptively receive harsher bail or be profiled. Unless you can scientifically prove that ethnicity causes crime to happen, its disgusting. This is obvious to us.

In year's past, correlation fallacies might have meant that black people were profiled by police more. Today, it means that we build AIs which make life-ending decisions like determining repeat offender risk, visa status, employment decisions, all of which predetermines an unknown outcome by correlating your known qualities with the known outcome of people with similar qualities to you.

We need regulation in place to stop any punitive decision making, public and private, which can be found in court to be based on correlation instead of causation.
Millennials?!

My experience has always been that customers with email addresses at older services (Hotmail, Yahoo, Earthlink, AOL etc) are usually boomers that are using an account set up for them by their millennial aged grandchildren back in the 90's or early 2000's...

This is because active record models learn their attributes by querying the database scheme. I haven’t tried it but there appears to be a way to cache this information in the local file system which would likely avoid the early dB connect if you really needed to do that. Also avoids querying the scheme on processs boot entirely if you are willing to trust the cached scheme matches the. database scheme. See https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/24133 for discussion
Try reading "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer and/or "Letting Go" by David Hawkins. Depression could be partly due to an acquired habit of always paying attention to fear based thoughts (like lacking xyz), which came from evolution. The cure is to raise the emotional level of thoughts to love for self and compassion for others (by having compassion for others, you give it to yourself). Another cure is to not pay attention to the chattering of the mind. If you wrote down all the chattering of the mind, you may find that >90% of them are useless. Paying attention to the chattering brings more useless chattering.

All this sounds new age, but it works.

I can't think of a millennial that would be caught dead with a Hotmail account.

However, I do agree it's age. Probably advanced age rather than young age.

The real problem is that we are allowing "AI analysis" to allow people to discriminate upon something (Hotmail ownership) which we would NOT allow people to discriminate on (age, in this instance) outright.
In my case, it's sort of a yes and no. I reverse engineered partly, but I was only looking to replace whole function calls.

Company I came in as a contractor to... Sort of repair codebases and retrain staff, had a product they were getting paid buckets to support.

Unfortunately, someone had broken the codebase quite severely, and they weren't using version control. All we had was a movfuscated release (yay for paranoid managers who go to tech conferences), but needed to fix a certain feature ASAP.

So I used demovfuscator, someone's memory of what the code once looked like, and some ASM know-how to tear out references to the old and inject the new. Took a couple months of going nowhere fast, but I was pretty far out of my depth.

They don't use movfuscator anymore.
