IMO everything borpik says hits the mark.

But if I were you I'd save up for a few years, throw away my career and work as a Ski instructor for a year or two anyways just to see how bad it turns out.

It's one thing to hear from others how extreme steps are unlikely to lead to a good outcome, and how we are trading one set of problems for another, but it's quite another to never have taken extreme steps in life and wonder "what if"?

Then once you're through with skiing, come back to programming. :)

Take the job, work a couple of years, then go Ski to your heart's discontent.
Not necessarily from a single machine. It's pretty easy to divide your network and control the divisions from git clones f your Ansible files.

Ultimately you could have a git clone for every machine and only ever run it against localhost.
You're aware that most operating systems have a C API, right? Give me a place C doesn't run where js does.
If you visited it recently: please keep in mind that modern-day Russia is not USSR. It's completely different country - at least in terms of economy. In USSR, money meant NOTHING. In today's Russia, it means EVERYTHING. That's the difference.

EDIT: forgot to mention that Moscow is not a typical Russian city. You won't make a big mistake if you consider it a separate country. Whatever you observe in Moscow is specific to Moscow only. The state of the roads/public transportation across the country at large is (reportedly) not much better than it used to be in USSR (on average).
Oh, great, now there's a SECOND remote Rowhammer exploit
They aren't left alone. As your quote says "You're with two guides, one male, one female."
That same service will eventually also replace Google Play Music, a rival music service Google has inexplicably operated at the same time it was trying to get YouTube Music off the ground.

They got me again. I can't believe I let them get me again. I was subscribed to Play Music, then Youtube Red appears and okay, I get that in addition, now they're closing Play Music and forcing me into Youtube?

These motherfuckers.
Then you get a reputation as a rude developer, whether or not that's fair or warranted.
Every time I see another PR release about an awesome use of AI, I get a little depressed. Maybe learning Java 8 streams, or Python 3 , or Scala 3, or anything other than Andrew NG's AI course and my old linear algebra notes is a waste of my time...

And then I ask Alexa a question - something a bit more complicated than the weather or what's the best Prime deal. Then I'm relieved.

Until I see something more impressive than a massive if-then-else, I'm not losing any sleep over my lack of interest in this latest fad.

> None of these “fancy” tools still builds by a traditional make command. Every tool has to come up with their own, incomptaible, and non-portable “method of the day” of building.

100% this. Learning Make a few years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s simple (until it’s not), straightforward and available on just about any Linux and UNIX installation (version compatibility aside).

Trying to make the case for POSIX-compatible Bash scripts has been tough, though.

I also agree re: Docker. While you can secure a container image with USER statements in the Dockerfile and knowing how to give containers just the capabilities that they need to do their job, it is WAY too easy to run them as root and give them privileged access to things. It should’ve been the other way around. Also, every container orchestration platform seems like a really elaborate hack.
We are also exploring to let the contractor and project owner decide who the mediator is.

Our goal is to make tools and services around Bitcoin that showcase some of it's features. There is more to Bitcoin than just HODL and trading.
I was talking about animation. Show/hide on request made/resolved gives only binary information about starting and finishing something. But the spinning animation itself does not represent any operations being executed. It may very well be that the request failed and a bug in JS made it not remove the spinner. You end up with a forever-looping animation of "work", even though no work is being done. This makes the spinner an untrustworthy element.
Laying around on a couch sounds like a waste of a good shroom buzz. Shrooms are much more fun if you're with a medium-to-large sized group of people who all know and are comfortable around each other, all of whom are on around the same dose. They're so much more of a body buzz and less of a mindfuck than LSD/DMT. Then there's PCP... which is less of a mindfuck and more of a fuckyou.
The concept of self-healing is a bit weird for me. Surely you want to investigate the cause before it heals?

Funny that we have tools like tripwire which have the opposite idea of the world.

My dream would be to have both functionalities in a single tool.

Bidirectionality! If you solve a problem on one machine you could pull that fix then push the same fix out to other machines as a preventative measure.

Some mix of git/osquery/augeas could do this.
Woah! That information about Docker is bananas. I've worked on projects with more than 200 VMs. Talk about things that don't show up on HN: scaling issues with popular technology where you never find a solution.
I would take that claim with a grain of salt. The person already claims that she didn't agree to $1000 shipping, but I think it's safe to say that there wasn't a glitch with Amazon's payment processing, she just didn't see it.
The model assigns opportunities every 6 months for 40 years and decides whether the talents of the potential beneficiary are adequate to exploit the opportunity.

It doesn't work this way. People waiting for opportunities don't encounter them with the same frequency as people actively looking for and/or trying to manufacture them. An opportunity for me to double my assets or income might exist, but will I even be aware of it? If I am, and my talent is adequate to exploit it, what kind of risk does it come with and what is my tolerance for such risk?

The last event in my life roughly conforming to the opportunities generated by this model was something I actively sought, carefully selected among hundreds of similar opportunities, and took enormous (stupid, I'd be saying now if it hadn't worked out) risk to exploit.
Preferred Infrastructure. They have this weird naming system which I don’t fully understand there’s Preferred Infrastructure and Preffered Networks. They seem to be essentially the same company, but use two names...

Can’t read the jstor art but the duke art is in line with what I have said.
It's trivial to find someone that has equal skills that have either more wealth, or less. In fact, longer term studies have shown that wealth is inherited, and it takes I believe four generations to change from the lowest to the highest economic quintile. All of this is easily quantified, and has been repeatedly studied. The results are just sociopolitically unacceptable mythbusting. Read the wikipedia article on socioeconomic mobility [0], or perhaps the article about the economist that setup identical real world experiments, and found success was random chance.[1]

Anecdotally, the vast majority of the money I've come across in my life is pure luck. Skills, education, and not a sufficent (or even a necessary) condition of gaining wealth.

Agreed. DevOps has been a thing for a long time. The funny thing is that the core of the DevOps philosophy —- to unite development and ops through code —- is still a rarity. SO MANY big companies have entire departments for DevOps that are basically either developers doing release management sysadmins writing pseudo code for infrastructure while making it somehow less accessible to development teams.
Copying large files to and from USB storage is probably slower than just copying across their internal network.
i agree there is definitely a gap between what is possible in the near vs distant future.

but i personally would embrace it rather than fear it. and i'm not a tech guy, i work in a call center selling insurance lol.

the day that i can say "Mr. Robot, make me a pizza, brew me some cold beer, and tell your robot friends to deliver me a couch for the game tonight" is the day that i am pretty damn satisfied with the state of technology

if everything in the world is manufactured and fulfilled by robots, and i never have to leave my home to do anything, i would be thoroughly pleased
When he talks about the default mode network that sort of matches with my intuitive understanding of what the experience of taking psychedelics is like.

People do things in loops— they go to work every day, come back home every day, hang out with the same people, engage in the same hobbies, think the same thoughts.

It’s just our natural mode of being to repeat ourselves, and psychedelics seem to just shut all of that down. You’re no longer a person who does these things or has those habits. You’re barely a person at all— just purely living in the moment, without any feeling of separation from the rest of the world.

And as you come back from that, you engage in the reconstruction of your personality— and if you’re careful about how you do it, you can change it — in both positive and negative ways.
As some others here have said and as someone who is currently interviewing candidates for a remote position, skills are equally as important as culture fit. A demonstrated ability to (successfully) work independently and with little oversight is an incredible skill sure to impress any potential employer.

So showcase those personal projects you've worked on, translate your work on them into how you'd be successful working with a remote team, and start finding companies to apply for. I'd try to find ones that have hired Canadians first if possible (many distributed teams will list the many locations their company is currently in on their careers page).

Here's a list of 200+ remote friendly companies: http://hallwayapp.com/articles/list-companies-remote-work-fr.... You can also try searching angel.co jobs listings and adding "earth" as your preferred location.
There's probably some threshold (either a fixed amount or in conjunction with the purchase price) where shipping is obviously a scam or mistake. For most transactions, I expect a severe warning if your freight is more than $100 would be appropriate.
"Think", heh. So far "AI" see mostly good for devaluing concepts like intelligence or thinking, and I wouldn't rule out the possibility of that being the primary payload. All those half-baked articles about half-baked achievements fully achieve that part of it. The robots still can't do anything really interesting, but the humanity limbo is making great strides.

I think what you're (and I'm) observing is this:

Many people know js
People don't understand C++
People sort of know C
Very few people know rust

Given that background, this is what I think is happening. A large group of programmers know and work with js, and so, whenever these projects crop up, the mode of comments is somewhere in the positive part of phase space, just by statistics. I personally think it's weird, but I don't drag on people for fun projects, and I usually hold my tongue here since you guys love your web things.

Since fewer people actually grok C++ and even fewer rust, when rust rewrites come out, it's a smaller, more systems/low level oriented set of folks with specialized knowledge, and therefore, they have more to say and shit to sling, and the typical comment is negative.
They're just trying to keep Watson contained
Thanks for the tip. I've made a habit of turning off location services on Android once I'm done using navigation (Waze), do you know if this sufficiently blocks all background tracking for apps I've consented to allow GPS location tracking? Thanks.
Location data is what, maybe 1kB per sample, including lots of overhead? 100 samples/day is 3MB/month. It's not going to affect your mobile data budget.

> I'd most likely hire a lawyer and sue you.

This is America so anyone can sue for anyone for anything but what exactly do you think the grounds would be for a suit? I won't call without your consent, I have no intent to cause you harm, if the reference calls go well you'll even likely get a job offer.
Everyone compares it to chef and puppet
It seems like having secretaries or assistants has become a luxury over time, and is gone for many people. If companies would have them, and the employees give those numbers for emergencies as well as client calls, then it would provide a barrier that could potentially address routine calls that need a call back (or not) vs. emergency calls that need urgent attention. That would seem courteous to those who call as well, having someone talk to them and tell them that their message would be conveyed.

With smartphones, the option available is to have everyone put their phones on Do Not Disturb mode (hopefully that's available for everyone) and keep all the phones in silent/vibrate mode in a corner in the meeting room. On IOS, further configuration is possible for favorite contacts and repeated calls to get through. But this solution is still grossly inadequate by itself.
Going to be honest, whenever I see or hear someone put them in the same category, it usually colors my impression of said person as essentially never really learning C++.
Wondering if this near-human-level performance in a limited style of general-domain question answering impresses you even a bit?

>Namecheap then always keeps expired domains in a grace period status for about two weeks where I can still renew after expiration.

That is standard behaviour for a domain-registrar, when a domain expires. When a domain expires the previous owner can re-register it during the grace period, after that for an extra fee it can be renewed in the redemption-period.

Finally just before a domain is available for re-registration by an unrelated party it will land in the pending-delete state.

Opportunity comes for those who can seek it out, which predisposes a certain level of security (for most, though not all). Risk taking is done on a scale close to risk tolerance, and risk tolerance is higher when the downsides are slimmer.
Love this and I totally get it. Thx for sharing this.
It's still pretty popular, and arguably works better than Bitcoin and had a better community.
Nobody felt the need to justify tracking the personal information of billions of people for their own benefits. Nobody asked if we were OK with it; they just did it. Nobody offered us any compensation for this supposedly valuable data they were gathering about us and our daily lives. Nobody offered us so much as an explanation or made any effort at being transparent about data gathering; they just put up a cryptic terms of service document at the footer of the page that say "we reserve the right to collect this data because reasons". If people hadn't become "paranoid" about user tracking, we wouldn't even have found out about how extensive it is and how much companies share with governments in the first place.

So why do we have to justify anything to corporations? Why should we care if they lose some millions marketing to the wrong people? Not our problem. Honestly, it's the company's own fault for trusting user input so blindly. Tracking users is not a right, it is a privilege and it can be revoked.
To borrow your metaphor, I'd say it's more like an oil company investing in solar, and advocating for it's future, because it knows it's current business will not last forever. Getting on the front of this allows Salesforce good PR, and lets them have a role, however small, in shaping the regulations to come.

Any business leader who has studied the tobacco industry would do this.

>People do the calculus to decide if risk is greater than reward all the time.

Technically you're right but what you seem to be missing is that people (in general) suck at risk assessment. Although they are doing "the calculus", most of their calculations are based on heuristics that just don't reflect a rational analysis.

That is why so many people fear plane travel more than car travel, immigrants more than cigarettes, and pharmaceuticals more than "raw water".

Why would they need a screen shot? The order confirmation e-mail would show the shipping charges as well.

I very much doubt that the vendor was able to slip these charges by invisibly. Seems more likely the customer simply did not read the order screen before hitting OK.

Apple and Amazon operate completely different businesses, your comparison doesn't make sense. Walmart has more than double the revenue of Apple (or Amazon) and yet has less than a 2% profit margin [1]. Is that suspicious? If anyone is an outlier I'd say it's Apple selling luxury priced goods (along with their fat margins) at consumer like scale.

It's graded immediately (automatically), so there wouldn't be any issues. Further, the text of the problem makes it clear that I'm not actually going to check their age - they can return any valid number (although it does check >0 and <100, perhaps discriminatorily). It would be a little invasive to their privacy otherwise, I think.
I think a lot of stuff that I used to need to know —- OS kernel internals, hardware specifics, relatively deep network knowledge —— is less useful in the age of public cloud, containers and immutable infrastructure. There isn’t really a need to tune a kernel for performance or do deep troubleshooting to root cause OS issues and ensure uptime; if something seems off, kill the machine or container and let auto scaling or the container orchestrator take care of it. If something wrong with cloud networking, call AWS, as the most we can do is prove that it’s on them. Etc.

While I still know these things, I haven’t had to employ them in a while. I will probably use those even less as I start getting into management. That’s a bit saddening.

But the new stuff I’ve learned over the years, namely, designing systems like I’d design software, is amazing. Applying TDD to infrastructure isn’t something I thought I’d be doing, but here we are, and we have “modern DevOps” tooling (and lots of other things) to thank for that.
Im a stable, sane, not depressed or anything person. I once took LSD (mixed with other things aswell...) and had a trip during which I spoke to God, Satan and various other imaginary beings. It was not a fun experience - I'm a man of science, but the feeling/perception was so real, my entire world view was shattered. It stuck with me for months after. I've gone from someone who 100% believed in evolution and a material universe, to someone who deep down thinks there may be a God, and I may actually have to face some kind of hell for some kind of sins I may unknowingly commit in this life. I don't consider this a spiritual awakening or something profound - it's more like I put a crack in my sanity that I can never completely fix.

These drugs are extremely powerful. They can potentially destroy healthy minds. I support more research and even, in time, legalisation - but I am sharing the story so others may take away the point that when you start hacking with your brains firmware, you should be EXTREMELY careful you dont accidentally brick it.

EDIT: For clarity purposes, this wasn't my first time doing LSD and it wasn't a huge dose. Nobody understands exactly how these drugs work, maybe this was a 1/1000 event. But it happened - and I don't do drugs any more.
Ansible? I could see using it to build a container that then got "orchestrated", I guess, but ... hmmm. I've never really looked at them as doing the same thing. (Nor have I looked at either Chef/Puppet for CM. Maybe I'm just stupid... My ex- certainly thinks that I am...)
I think the old reddit is one of the most useable sites on the internet. I spend a lot of time there because it's a lot more functional and text oriented than other sites.

Did the design team consider that reddit's core user base likes the old design and may be there because of it?

i.e. The redesign may be more pleasing to non-redditors, but displeasing to the site's actual users. Did you test on regular users or just new users?
