Will she carry around the certificate of authenticity to show her girlfriends as she's showing off the ring? Better carry the price tag around as well. That'll make them even more jealous, which, after all, is really the purpose of this whole kabuki dance.
Only partial control if you don't file a counter. I've had just around ten or so of these notices for videos I've uploaded, all related to iTunes bits I've used or in one case music playing in the background at a sporting event. In every case I easily "won" the counter and was never bothered with a notice again.

Yahoo Agrees to $80M Settlement Over Data Breaches
I agree that the OP seemed to miss who the article is targeted at (managers, leaders). However I think this is still very good advice for an IC, even someone straight out of school.

Does it mean they start taking on projects that don't align with their role? Probably not.[0] What it does do is enable them to get a fresh perspective on the org, team and work and perhaps contribute ideas in group settings/meetings/social situations that others may not have considered, by virtue of not having executed the algorithm in the article.

If nothing else it gives one a structured way to gain valuable information about the org and the work, regardless of where you sit in the 'food chain'. It's also a great way to build a network.

[0]Often companies allow for 'stretch' time where ICs can take on side projects. Running this algorithm could be a great way to surface ideas for those kinds of projects.
I am dealing with this at the moment. We have a new contractor and he always wants to make big changes whenever he does something. Sometimes he may be right but I am getting tired explaining that maybe there is a reason why we are doing things a certain way and that the changes he is proposing often are just changes but don't really improve anything.

Hello fellow hackers,

You are wrong twice there... sane people make that bet every day by smoking (limited upside gain, risk of ruin loss) and by taking many prescription medicines that have side effects including death.

Using a cell phone is taking that bet. You are betting that 50 years of cell phone exposure won't cause brain cancer. Nobody knows for sure yet, nobody has had cell phones for 50 years. I'm not saying it will or it won't cause cancer. I don't know. But it has the possibility of risk of ruin.

Second, constant amount betting does have risk of ruin even with an edge. Take a fair coin flip where you start with $500 and get $51 for heads and lose $50 for tails. A clear edge with a constant betting amount. In 100 flips, you have a 27.23% chance of ruin.

For more information consult the concept of "Gambler's ruin" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_ruin
When you think about it, all those talks at the conference is such a waste of time and resources: No indexing, no skimming,no copy pasting, it's slow, cannot be searched.

On the serious note: this is not some unique knowledge that is available in those videos. Much of this stuff was there for years, everywhere. Those who enjoy listening to Jen talking will watch the videos. Others do not have to.
Ham radio is explicitly designed to be a publicly open broadcast system, not a private communication system. You’re not even allowed to use encryption in the US, although authentication is fine (iirc).
"Absence of bias" is a useless concept. A news outlet must make choices about which topics to cover; what facts to report about those topics; which sources to trust, which to use skeptically, and which to ignore; which claims to treat as settled fact and which as disputed (and then it must decide how to contextualize disputed claims); and so on, ad infinitum. What would it mean to cover news without introducing an editorial viewpoint in this way? There is no such thing.

If talk about "bias" is to mean anything, you need to be specific about concrete forms of bias you're trying to rule out, and how.
The trick is not to be too precise about when you start counting from
Nice ad hominem attempt, but even though I accidentally switched a minus for a plus, the point the math teaches is the same: risk of ruin accumulates with the number of bets.

Yeah you have to mind the tolerance, if it gets too high you're going to experience some serious side effects from the grams of caffeine every day, and the guaranteed "withdrawal" when you have to cut down is not very nice either.

The THC isn't the problem. All in all I completely agree. Microdosing LSD is also a great thing to do but does get incredibly exhausting after a while.
Fat tissue is a collector of some kinds of toxins (don't remember exactly which now) and some heavy metals (heh). Going into fat burning actually releases these into your system (which should be bad, though)

All about the Real “No End House”
I work on a system that has 15 year old code in it, lots of it in a bad state (it's being removed, but slowly).

I've seen a lot of people come in (category A) who can spout best practices that we're not following, but can't ever wrap their heads around the way the system works, the amount of effort that implementing an idea will take, and the amount of payoff it will offer. They just cargo cult best practices. With those people, I want to say "please just crank out tickets until you understand more".

However, there have also been a small handful of people (category B) who come in, and quickly find ways to make beneficial changes that are achievable and worthwhile. Those people are incredibly valuable.

Concrete advice: if you take a year for any new hire to understand things enough to make changes, you need to work on the understandability of your system, your onboarding, or stop hiring exclusively from category A.
That's true but I think part of it is also that once we achieved photorealism, we began to realize that photorealism isn't everything.
That's a picture worth a thousand words right there.
It’s often a nesting/dependency problem which is hard to solve after the fact.

A website may depend on libraries, which depends on other libraries. They must all be signed. They are all interlinked against a known version during build, and signing them after linking may not be an option.

The website may offer a download, which is probably a setup file of sorts, which must be signed. It will of course contain binaries, which must be signed too.

The website itself may also be something packaged in another setup file, which too must be signed.

Now how do you “just” sign something like that before releasing to prod? You don’t.

Signing (and time stamping!) must be a intergrated part of every step of the build process.

It takes more work than you would expect to get this done properly, systematically and reliably for every part of your build process. It does take effort and expertise.

That said, for certain build-types (like pure CI) we disable things like timestamping. We’re not crazy :)

Similarly, his book Cryptonomicon is quite long and likely would only hold ones interest if they had an interest in Cryptography.
It's not that simple though, Cage's piece -- Silence 4'44" -- I don't think was tested, but taken as a whole I'd grant it copyright. It was art that caused reflection on the nature of a "work", it was designed to be "played" by a musician with any instrument, it was 273s long presumably to reflect on whether silence could ever be absolute. I suspect it was also intended to encourage the listener to observe ambient sounds as if they had meaning. That makes it distinct as a performance piece.

That logo is, within the field of logos, indistinct, boring if you will, if you sat down 100 logo designers I bet you'd get a few that look very like it. I'm not sure I entirely agree with it but having copyright but for a logo RTM is probably a stronger right anyway.

In short I don't think just being white noise is sufficient, but I don't think it excluded a piece of itself.

This is great. I've heard of lab-grown diamonds for over 10 years now (and they've been making them longer than that). If the diamond market gets shook up over time, which I believe it really should, I hope the engagement ring market also gets a little shook up, which would be good too. It might encourage people to branch out a bit and look at other interesting and cool gems, like emerald, ruby, sapphire, and many others. The whole De Beers "Diamonds are forever" advertising from the mid-1900s is all bullshit anyways and yet managed to successfully brainwash generations of people into buying diamonds for their engagement rings. It wasn't always that way!

> don't expect them to make suggestions for a year

That's not the problem.

The problem is that some newbies want all of the code to be their design pattern of choice; or just want to refactor things until they understand it. Some will just refuse to follow established design patterns and do things like bypass our dependency injector.

For me, it's a red flag whenever someone comes on a team and immediately wants to refactor to use their favorite design patterns, frameworks or style. It's not that their preferred design patterns are better or worse than what we're using; it's that you just don't refactor code on a say-so.

The Electron in the Maze
Talking to someone who is not technical about some technical details requires some extra skill. I've learnt that in my years of being in the technical side of things, I don't have that skill. That extra knowledge of what you should say so that they can understand you. I left that up to the others who possesses this skill.

It is really hard for me to explain some details in a way that everyone can understand. But giving examples from aspects of life they know while explaining is helpful. Like everyday stuff. Just try to come up with an applicable example. Note: if your example doesn't make sense, they will be more confused. Risky....

Why are so many coders musicians? Part 2: Abstraction and language
Sorry, but after 10 years of smoking almost every day (and stopping for months completely in between), I can assure you that this isn't true. At least not in the generalized form. Everyone is different. I have ADHD, for example. Cannabis naturally calms me down to actually focus, it makes me function. I start cleaning and programming where 10 minutes before I was all over the place mentally. I've tried Amphetamines but the side effects are just incredible. Of course there's also the guy who will let his apartment go to complete waste and stop caring, but you can't generalize effects of a substance. Some react completely differently.

I think people overthink tattoos. I believe it's perfectly fine to get tattoos of things that have always meant something to you, meant something for you for a short period, or don't mean anything to you at all. I think people get stuck thinking it has to be super personal and define who you are.

Scott Campbell equates his body to looking like a truck stop bathroom stall. He has poorly done tattoos, great tattoos, tattoos that have no meaning, tattoos that have great meaning, but no tattoo he regrets.

These tattoos help remind him of where he has been and where he wants to go.
This is one of the most valuable lessons of contracting: only try to help people who want to be helped. Sometimes you can influence them to want help with something (e.g. an architectural change that will make things better), but if they don't believe there's anything wrong, it's just going to be a pointless battle.

It gets more awkward when you're brought in by one person, but quickly realize that the people you're working with don't want you to do what you were brought in to do. Or when people tangential to the project see it as a threat to the status quo and actively try to prevent you from doing what you're trying to do.
Just want to point out that there are no actual experts on AI threat, just people with very strong opinions. The most expertise that anybody can possibly possess with regard to AI threat is roughly the kind of expertise that carriage makers had about cars at the dawn of the automobile age.
Probably. It is provocative but not entirely inaccurate.
OK I read the article and obviously lack some context. The author goes on and on about the evils of TLS 1.3 but it wasn't clear why TLS 1.3 would cause the world to end as opposed to say, TLS 1.2.

​Hey Marcus,

By way of background, I am a Mobility Consultant at Simform (www.simform.com) & I've some great Android engineers you'd love to work with.

We have been making apps for over nearly 10 years now & one of our designed & developed app we believe is close to what you're looking for is A Color Story App.

You can download the android app here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acolorstor...

I'd be very interested in learning more about your app & discuss ways we can work together.

How does your calendar look for a call on Monday (03/12)?

Hi. Fusion company founder from 1995 here (Fiat Lux Research, funded by DFJ). We were probably the first in the internet age, but didn't have a website (stealth mode engaged!). We definitely weren't the first. Companies which were earlier than us that I am aware of include Bogdan Maglich's Migma company (1974), Paul Koloc's Prometheus 2 (1976) and Bussard's EMC2 (1985). You could also include companies with divisions targeting fusion like General Atomics (1974) and ITT (1964).

Redis is in-memory only

Cloud Storage - Not sure, how we can use it outside of cloud vendors

RocksDB - Facebook just outsourced the engine to the community, where is the service which adds replication, clustering and network interface on top of it? I am sure, they use one internally, why is it not being open-sourced?

There is also badger but most of these only offer low-level operation.

Sorry, most of my developers are unable to consume them just like Redis.
> I have taken amphetamines myself, and still do occasionally. Ive actually done almost every drug under the sun. So I know

Ah. I understand now that you think that taking drugs is a similar professional qualification to, say, decades of medical accomplishment and meta-analysis in Neuropsychology. What a joke.

> The specific biochemical mechanism of lithium action in stabilizing mood is unknown.

Fun fact: Nobody knows why _any_ mood or cognition altering drug works the way it does, because nobody knows how the brain produces awareness. Nobody can predict which if any mood or cognition altering drug will treat known problems, because nobody knows yet what fundamentally causes the problems. It's why psychiatric treatments always require experimentation to discover which of multiple medications might work and at what dosage. Or are you saying you know that too? Because if you are, then I eagerly await the publication of your well-founded study.

Every time you assert that your experiences are universal, that's a crazy thing. It's even crazier that your basis for asserting it is that you did some drugs.
There are masks you can wear that makes it easier to breath the cold air for running when it's even colder. I guess it heats the air a bit. I like walking in the cold, just have to dress for it and not overdo it so you overheat in your nice warm clothes :-)

I haven't tried the breathing masks though I probably should since I have asthma and breathing in the cold makes it worse.

Here's my programmer cold start algorithm for those interested:

1. Go to indeed.com

2. Type in 'software engineer' or 'data scientist' or something like that.

3. Don't put in a city.

4. Put the money slider all the way to the top.

5. Open a few pages of job postings in tabs.

6. Write down every word you don't know.

7. Repeat the process by searching for each one of those words you don't know and then write down additional words you don't know.

Now you have a list of what technologies are valuable in the zeitgeist and your mission is to determine why each technology exists and what it's use case is. You'll then be armed with a larger and more modern toolbox full of tools to reach for when the time comes to solve that kind of problem.

Rinse, repeat every few years.

Hope that helps someone. :)
Dangerous tools like knives or vehicles can cause instantaneous wounding or death when used improperly. Comparing those to the internet is wrong. Especially since your argument started with

> The internet has evolved from being a source of knowledge into a cancerous entity that craves complete and utter assimilation of any decency humans might have.

Is this about decency, or about instant death? You can't move the goalposts like that.

Additionally, I believe we were talking about adolescents, which are entirely capable of operating vehicles or at the very least kitchen utilities. I would indeed allow a teenager to use a kitchen knife unsupervised, with the proper education.

I'm simply not convinced that the so-called "dangers" out there on the internet are so bad you must ignore all the good that the internet can bring. I'm sorry you find the internet indecent, but "the majority of teenagers" you speak for might not really need freeing. Rock and roll and weed and premarital sex still exist, and somehow kids still seem to grow up fine.
They might not be desirable to people who prefer mined diamonds, but a diamond is a diamond.
