> Mentoring should just be pointing people in a direction and occasional code review. Go do this (for a few days). Let's see what you did.

That's one (totally fine) way of mentoring, but it's by no means the only one.

A lot depends on the work environment and the relationship. I work with a couple junior engineers that are also friends, and in addition to "pointing people in a direction", code reviews, etc.:

* We frequently tackle harder issues together, pair-programming style (using a shared tmux session)

* In addition to code-reviewing their work, I have them code-review mine, and I walk them through my code and thought process

* Talks/meetings once a week or more about architecture/up-front design for projects, in which the junior devs are often included or free to attend

* We have a non-work-related Hackerspace that we attend every 2 weeks where we work on side projects / fun creative projects

Certainly this situation is not possible on many development teams, but I just wanted to point out that mentoring is a wide-open thing that has many approaches and options.
While I agree that we may be able to rid ourselves of JS, why would we want to rid ourselves of HTML? It's become an excellent language for describing a UI.

The only thing I disagree with is the assertion that women in tech (STEM?) have somehow different/worse experience than women in general. Or at least I can not imagine why that would be the case - are educated and intelligent men more sexist than the average Joe? I think the main difference is that in tech we are much more open to acknowledge the problem and discuss it.
No - the giant foreign loans arrived in the second half of the 20s, after Hjalmar Schacht had cured hyperinflation with the introduction of the Rentenmark. Germany enjoyed a debt fuelled boom until the crash of Oct 29, which caused US banks to recall loans, crashing the German economy. During the boom the Nazis had been an irrelevance. In the early 30s unemployment hit 6M and Hitler became Kanzler in Jan 33, and brought Schacht back. This time Schacht created mefos to expand credit covertly and reflate the economy. Hitler wasn't hell bent on war for financial reasons. He was hell bent on war because he saw violent struggle as part of the natural order, and the means for the German people to dominate Europe and to replicate the 19th century US drive westwards by carving out a new empire in Russia.

I think that used to happen on some sites with the button anyway. Not sure how it's implemented but it could be as simple as: append a querystring to image URLs, and if you hit the URL without the querystring, serve a page instead.

Fair enough. I've donated, even though I still think that developing OCR app might be a bit waste of resources.

I still find it to be lesser "evil" than schufa - which, I'm pretty sure, is also extremely discriminatory towards people who move to Germany and giving them worse score by default. Hopefully you'll get enough optional data to be able to prove that too.
> A citizen of an EU country residing in Germany is under no obligation to hold a passport.

Any EU citizen needs a passport or equivalent in Germany. One needs it already when entering Germany. Though you don't need to carry it all time with you. But you need to have one.
Possibly; we'll see. MIR optimization passes may help.

It's hard to say what exactly Jai does since it's not public yet.
Not all the time probably, though in my experience, especially if it's not a flat share but a proper apartment, it's definitely closer to 100% (Berlin).

We have a strong culture of convention over configuration; these two things are not inherently at odds.

To get the default formatting with rustfmt, you just run it. You can configure it via some file but I've never needed to. I don't even know what the options are.
Really? Schufa was the first thing anyone asks when I was interested in a new apartment. My schufa score is abysmal, but luckily the score is not included in this document, only the negative entries.

It's probably slow because the page is loading almost 3MB, and it has a ton of JavaScript. It's an informational page -- what is all that JS doing?

Also, I'm still wondering what niche you're trying to fill. For someone who doesn't want to touch code, there's SquareSpace (which I believe is cheaper).

For someone who doesn't mind code, there are a million static site generators that will deploy to S3 or Digital Ocean or whatever. They get the same amount of customization and it's almost totally free.

So what is someone paying for when they pay you?
If the same amount of people visited the page containing that image, bandwidth would be a lot more with all the page content loading up. Is there good bandwidth and bad bandwidth?

I use Duolingo premium on android and PC and I haven't seen the grammar blurbs on the android app either, maybe I just don't know how to access them. They're not very high quality anyway in my experience (for the portuguese course) so I didn't miss them too much. I use other sources to learn the grammar. Actually the more I progress the more I end up preferring memrise, it's much better for drilling vocabulary and the phrases it teaches you are more practical than Duolingo's "my uncle spoke to the tiger".

>Plus there are some natural language rules that are just a mass of exceptions. For example try to explain to a non-native speaker why you ride in a car and on a bus.

Some grammar and syntax is more important than other. If I told you "I rode in a bus" I'm sure you'll get immediately what I said. If on the other hand I told you "I rided on a bus" it might make you pause to process what I meant. Learning all the rules of a language is generally a daunting task but getting the basics right can save you a lot of time and trouble. When are you supposed to use the preterite and when the present perfect? What's the difference between "I will do it" and "I'm going to do it"? Etc...

>And furthermore, most native speakers don't know their own grammar rules.

Sure, in the same way that I never wonder when I'm supposed to use the subjunctive or about the gender of nouns when I speak my native french while a foreigner could struggle with that. I don't think it means that grammar courses are not hugely important when you learn a foreign language.

Learning one's mother tongue by being completely immersed in it 24/7 for years as a child and learning a foreign language as an adult in a few hours per week is hardly comparable. If you want to maximize your result you should learn the basics of the grammar instead of going entirely by trial and error like a child would do.

Furthermore as an adult you're more likely to require the use of complex and diverse concepts because you're not actually a 3 year old child. That means that you need to be able to actually "invent" new phrases that are not like any you've encountered before. "I've been asked to get the blueprints and bring them to the 3rd floor, could you tell me where they are?". Eventually as you become fluent the rules fade and you get a more intuitive grasp of the language.

No, by law you are required to have a proper ID issued by an EU country.

No passport required, but it might be useful, since many online services require a passport, for example activating a SIM card.

Can you provide more background on your blanket statement?

There are good and bad VPNs but ISPs are much larger corporations with direct ties to governments. I fail to see how a good VPN is worse than ISP + Governments.
... Mohammed Ayoub had claimed at his trial that Sissoko had put him under a spell ...

Mr. Ayoub is the person working at Dubai bank. So, I'd guess some form of social engineering, where Sissoko had been convincing enough to repeatedly make Mr. Ayoub wire money to different accounts around the world.

As a male I enjoyed it, and one of my best female friends also remembers it fondly.

I'd also throw in Sabriel, as a YA fantasy novel that I really liked, that had a female protagonist who kicked ass (rather than was there to support a male, or something else equally stereotypical)

You can believe sexual harassment is everywhere and also believe chat widgets are annoying. Sadly, women getting harassed on the internet by anonymous strangers, while unfortunate, is not a novel revelation. Anyone who says it isn’t common has their head in the sand. You can’t help people like that.
Having the wire, especially if it's fibre, between your home and ISP encrypted is probably of extremely limited value. Your ISP has access to the (unencrypted) endpoint anyway, and any adversary with the resources to actually tap your fibre probably have higher value and more easily accessible means of spying on you anyway.
Good. As long as they stick to reporting factual information and not releasing private gossip and sex tapes they have nothing to worry about.

Like I said, I wish you didn’t need billions to keep them honest but at least someone can do it.
> Most of us derive our sense of purpose from our jobs.

Most of "us", as in your peers, those visible to you. Nothing wrong with feeling a sense of purpose.

Most of "us", as in bus drivers, bored security guards with nothing to do, McDonald's cashiers, cleaning personnel who clean in your office between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. so you never have to encounter them, would they be depressed and forlorn without the "purpose" of their awesome jobs?
> many online services require a passport

This is notorious and infuriating violation by many service providers in Germany.
Do ISPs actually prevent you from doing that? At the very leas you can hook your router to the ISP's router and set up DMZ?
Pintrest spams Image Search results with bogus results and uses them as the top of their funnel.

You click a Pintrest image unsuspectingly, Pintrest takes you to a vaguely relevant board the image is contained on, but you can't get to the image because a signup lightbox blocks the content.

This has wider implications because using reverse image search wont point you to the original images either anymore it'll mostly point to Pintrest results and therefore Pintrests signup form.
I dont understand why they couldnt disable that feature for only companies that wanted it (through robots.txt) or redacted it some and gave the user to drop taht website from your search.
I’ve pulled apart router firmware plenty of times, and am never surprised to see nbtscan, nmap, and all sorts of other tools on there.

A lot of ISPs will perform remote diagnosis by connecting into your router and scanning your internal hosts to see if there are any problems.

Between that capability and general appalling security of routers, you’re basically on Starbucks WiFi from a security perspective even at home.

important note: buying an off the shelf netgear/tplink/linksys/whatever might stop your ISP remoting in, but is still wildly full of vulnerabilities.
Rust can give you speed and safety in one package. But you sacrifice ease of coding, especially as the IDE ecosystem is not there yet in terms of ease of use.

I've taken a few apps from Python to C#/F# and seen speed increases around 50x. With Rust I could increase the speed from C#/F# by around a factor of 10x for string heavy applications processing large files. So the speed difference might be 500x between a Python and Rust application (depends HEAVILY on the problem you're solving though, a lot of the problems that can be vectorized easily work pretty fast in Python).

I'd say I'm faster at writing F# than at Python, because the type system helps me build more easily maintainable code, and the functional style is better for the way I think (I grew up with structural, learned OO in uni and thought most of it is bananas and more obfuscation than helping, and I'm happy the world is now slowly getting to something sensible again). It takes me a bit longer to write Rust programs though.

Cargo is the best build system of the 3 languages though, you can easily add crates (imports) and the build system handles everything, even unit testing. I gotta say on the project setup front Rust with Cargo is much better than any other language I know.

And I think once we get good IDEs with robust code completion and error detection, I can become quite fast at Rust as well.
50/50 may hold true if you are renting directly from the owner. If a real estate agent is involved (or something like degewo) it is somewhere around 100% of all cases.
I work in the credit finance space. The first thing that jumps out to me is the security and privacy of people's credit data details. There is a lot of personal information that could be used for stealing one's identity. What assurances are there that this data is protected and anonymous?
I guess the likelihood increases if you go through one of the newer screen-tenants-first-online-platforms or the building has hired a property management company. Going through newspaper-classifieds or owner-let apartments yielded 100% no Schufa for me in Munich + Berlin.
That seems like a pointless thing to want to do.
That sounds very interesting, but after glancing at your figures, I don't see where you make this obvious.

Also, in the intro you say "the risk of skin cancer increases exponentially with age and is associated with accumulation of somatic mutations8". Your source groups ages into only 3 categories... If you look closer at the data you will see that developing most cancers becomes less common in old age (peaks at 60 - 90 years old). For cancers involving tissue like bone or reproductive organs this peaks much earlier, probably due to when the majority of cell divisions are occurring.
Jim Roskind's C/C++ grammar
Yes. In 1917 Russia was a semi feudal society with 10% literacy. 40 years later it had 90% literacy, universal healthcare, full employment, nuclear weapons and the world's leading space program. The human cost of those advances was monumental: many millions starved to death in the Ukraine during the collectivisation of agriculture, hundreds of thousands shot by the NKVD/KGB, millions sent to the Gulag, and millions of unnecessary casualties during WWII due to Red Army purges during the Great Terror and the casual attitude to spending lives in military leadership.

nutritionfacts.org is an extremely biased site that has been created by a vegan who built his whole career on speaking about health issues. While it has the word "facts" in its title nothing prevents them from cherry-picking studies to support their original views.

If you cherry-pick different studies you might actually find that consuming large amount of plants stresses our digestive system way more than a fatty steak with potatoes.

Intellectual Property is Garbage (editorial)
If you don't have any say now, why do you think you'd have a say in the future? Even if they did, why would a profitable company want to spend political capital, instead of just continuing to profit?

I think the long game is the opposite - make your principled stance. Get kicked out the country. Repeat with N more companies. Wait for population of the country to wonder why they don't get any cool stuff compared to the rest of the world. An angry population is way more likely to effect political change than a profitable company.

If the choice is "be immoral or GTFO", the moral choice is to GTFO. No excuses. Capitulating is just letting them have their cake and eat it.

I'm sure he had no trouble doubling smaller sums (the article stated he also had significant debts), and made up stories about how it would take longer and be more complicated to double larger sums.

Going back to MMOs, scammers in EVE have a jumble of variants on this scam. Typically they'll double your money if it's below a certain amount, but run away with any larger sums. Sometimes they frame the game as a lottery or game of skill: only the first person whose cash transfer shows up in their wallet will have their money doubled. With arbitrary rules like that, it's easier to give excuses as to why they weren't able to double the money. Oh, you didn't read the fine print in my bio: better luck next time! A good rube might fork over multiple donations before he realizes his money won't be coming back. Of course, scamming in that game is perfectly legal, so it's a lot easier to just block and ignore your marks.

You're right that it's could just be a recruiter being over-eager and/or missing the mark on what would attract me personally. But that doesn't really change my stance on the subject.

Interviews aren't really like a casual social interaction. Progressing past the initial phone call typically involves spending from several hours up to to a whole weekend on some cute homework project, shirking on one's current job for more phone calls, burning PTO for on-site interviews and whatnot. I've got precious little time I'm willing to spend on that sort of stuff, so it's in my interest to be supremely petty.
