The strategy here is: solve the short-term crisis first, so you can buy time to find a good job.

Some ways to buy time in the short-term are:

- Get a lower paying job even if you are overqualified. Not necessarily development. Work on ridesharing or delivery if you have to.

- Raise money, ask for donations (e.g.: gofund.me page).

- See if you qualify for welfare benefits.

- Sell things.

Remember, all of the above is just a temporary, short-term compromise.

Then, once you are stable enough, take the time to look for a better job, but do it in a less committed way, e.g.: your wife first then yourself, or something like that.
Between pip, npm and DockerHub, we seem to be inviting all kinds of lurking security holes. What if the code was used in an embedded system - probably never to be updated again.

Not a webdev, but from what I've seen webdevs are forced to compete, not in what they can do, but in terms of how they can do it (frameworks, packages). So, an aspect of your work process becomes a proxy for the quality of your work. In a context of permanent competition, this forces an acritical and rapid adoption of frameworks that perhaps only marginally improve some aspects of some other frameworks. Then compound this with the inflow of bootcamp-trained webdevs with poor practices whose employability relies on having being recently trained on the latest hyped framework.

That seems fairly active to me. In almost 10 years I did my first re-tweet last year.
> Similarly, Google's ad revenue allows it to pursue incredible advances in AI and driverless cars that would otherwise be unprofitable.

yet at the same time, they can decide what's "in" and what's "out" (figurately) overnight.
They could declare that driverless cars "are not worth it" or that AI research "has to be reorganized", and who would be there to counter them?
Moovit uses OpenStreetMap to generate its map tiles, Citymapper uses it for its walking and perhaps cycling directions. OSMAnd has quite good tools for visualising public transport routes, for instance you can plot subway routes on top of the street map, and you can select bus stops, see the buses stopping there, then select the route and see its full path and all stops mapped.
Scala for Apache Spark is great, but
Scala for Apache Spark is great, but a language with a full-fledged dynamic type system (like smth from Lisp family) should suite Spark much better. Only a language with the full type control in run-time could be natural in Spark-like platforms. Types should be the same easy to create in run-time.

FWIW that headline isn't great. Docker hub pulls in no way correlate to innocent users pulling/using those images. It could be (and this is quite likely) just other malware which made use of those images and just used Docker hub as a repository.

There are official images for the software in question and I don't think it's that likely that that many people ignored the official ones and got these ones.
If it will be like minimum wage then many people are mistaken thinking that they will be able live on UBI in the future and maintain their current lifestyles (big house, two cars, etc.).
I can't answer for the parent but to me these two situations are not really comparable. Making self driving cars is cutting edge technology and I can definitely believe that having access to a competitor's engineering secrets could be a huge advantage. For something like fitbit I'm not so sure, it's mostly existing technology. I suppose "market research" can be valuable though, but the article doesn't offer enough details to figure out what that means exactly.

It's hard to know for sure without knowing exactly what Jawbone thinks has been stolen.

Not enabling echochambering doesn't mean you get overwhelmed.

If the algorithms only ever selects things you already like, how would you discover things you might not know you like? Or change your mind about a subject because you only ever see tweets that agree with your worldview?

A good timeline would not only show you speech, ideas or content you agree to or like but also stuff you don't like and don't agree with.
eh?

Assuming automated builds, you can just read the dockerfile (and it's hierarchy if necessary), it's less complex syntax than perl by a long way.

Even assuming no automated build, all the information is in the manifest, and using something like portainer it's pretty easy to read.
If it is "to dampen vibrations" then obviously it isn't "fake". Vibrations are serious business; many bridges have collapsed due to vibrations, and many more (Millennium Bridge for example) have had severe trouble. Humans are particularly prone to causing vibrations because humans react to bridge movement in a way that amplifies the movement.

Technical description of the bridge from the engineering firm:

https://facilities.fiu.edu/projects/BT_904/MCM_FIGG_Proposal...

Page 3: "The stay cable pipes increase stiffness for pedestrian loads."

Page 18: "The stays and pylon provide the required structural design to meet the pedestrian loads for harmonic conditions of
natural frequencies"

Page 64: "HORIZONTAL FREQUENCY
In the lateral direction, the fundamental frequency of the
pedestrian bridge shall be greater than 1.3 hertz.
VERTICAL FREQUENCY
The fundamental frequency in a vertical mode shall be greater
than 3.0 hertz to avoid the first harmonic."

Page 65: "The pylon stiffness was designed
to provide significant benefit to the
overall stiffness of the structure."

On the same topic, PyPI has recently moved to a new backend, and in the process all end-to-end PGP signatures (created by the package owner upstream, proving that no tampering happened on the online servers) have disappeared from the UI, and that is seen as a "feature":

https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3356

You can still get them through some obscure API and you still need to know the right PGP key for verification, but this really signals the lack of consensus and awareness on the path toward a secure software supply chain.

Now, I'm interested in how they did the degraded images at the time. Digitally? Or just shot the original photos with a bad camera and lighting?
There is one major point you have to consider about sci fi. The rise and golden era of sci fi were during times of great nationalism. This was in large part the US (who I will focus on, but a similar picture is true across the world) had real and present enemies to unify the people against. The "golden age of sci fi" is considered to be 1938-1946. WW2 was 1939-1945. Star Trek of course came much later, yet Gene Roddenberry was born in 1921 and flew nearly 100 combat missions in WW2. To say he this period had an influence on his views and life would be quite the understatement!

During these times of nationalism, people looked outward for enemies and inward for unification and progress. You can see this exact metaphor within the federation. The enemies take unfamiliar shapes and forms from other literally alien cultures. Cyberpunk started to emerge during the 60s and 70s, with Neuromancer being released in 1984. We went from World War 2 to Vietnam, the rise of anti-nationalism, and an American people ever more able to find their own enemies from within. We went from a government that culminated in sending a man on the moon to a government that, especially after the end of the WW3 that did not happen - the Cold War, seemed to lack any direction or purpose eventually culminating in a behavior mimicking society of simply finding its own enemies within and eating itself alive.

And that trend continues to this very day. The reason sci fi had a utopic future vision was because that's what seemed probable. Today how do you perceive the future in a couple of hundred years? I think "The Expanse* does a phenomenal take of considering this without resorting to trope. I also think Deep Space Nine was also well ahead of its time here. The episode "Past Tense" in particular is something that seems practically prophetic of the times today, down to the exact area and timeline.
But what is that standard? If today someboday has a big house and two cars, and robots take his job in the future then can he expect his UBI will be enough to maintain the big house and 2 cars, because that is his current standard of living? I doubt that.

O2 isn't the only way to do combustion. There is also a fair few of autooxidizing materials (monopropellant) which require nothing but a spark to burn up, no oxidizer necessary.

But like with O2, it's all dangerous to contain as it easily burns without much options to extinguish (esp. Flourine Compounds are nasty and some will burn up sand, fireblankets, water and your fire extinguisher)

I can't seem to understand what the problem with "pile up" is? The whole idea of logging issues is to see how long they're open for! In fact good projects take the painstaking exercise to coalesce tickets that are in fact the same with an original item IN ORDER TO track the correct age of the ticket.

This sounds totally backwards.

Can't you just see your doctor or psychologist, tell them you need a week and ask for a note. Just like you would if you had the flue or had to get wisdom teeth removed.

Well I can ignore the GPL all I want and still use GPL software. There's nothing I can see in copyright law that prevents me from doing that. Microsoft and co conditioned people into thinking that they required permission to use software, but that's certainly not the case in software I use.

However if I want to do something that I can't do in copyright law (like give someone else a copy), I require permission from the copyright holder. That permission is pre-emptively given in the GPL. If I don't like those terms, that's fine, I can contact the copyright holder and attempt to negotiate other terms.

Disclosure: I work at Intel and submitted the post.

Dormando mentions the test was done with the help of Accelerate With Optane, a collaboration we have with Packet to provide access to servers with Intel Optane SSDs. Check out https://www.acceleratewithoptane.com/ for more info, and you can find me and the Packet team over at slack.packet.net. We're especially interested in open source projects that want to test what they can do with the tech and are interested in sharing what they learned with the broader community. Thanks to Dormando for going first!
Maybe they can't do all jobs, but it can be still a problem if they take other jobs. E.g. if self driving cars can be perfected then you'll need much less cab drivers and truckers.

Or if they invent cleaning robots which can clean malls and shops then lots of cleaners will be out of job.

So the robots won't have to take all the simple jobs, because if they take a lot of them then those changes will still cause serious social problems.
The late 80s were all hysteria about Japanese firms taking over America. You can see it in a lot of books and films from the era.

There's a really quite odd film called Rising Sun with Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes that has corporate espionage as part of the plot. 1993 release, which was actually just after Japan's economy slowed down.

To me it feels like the author of that project didn't get the point of resets.

The problem without resets is not that some client/manager/designer wants to see a pixel perfect page, but that differently sized default elements in different browsers can cause whole layouts to break / become non-functional.

If your layout is robust enough to compensate such variations, that's fine and you probably don't need a reset CSS at all, but the idea of reset CSS is not about efficiency in terms of lines of code, but about efficiency of developer resources. Developing something on top of a 100% defined state is much easier than constantly having to worry about different initial states.

Yes, resets aren't pretty, they are pragmatic.

Yes, such terms in a job description - or in my case, in initial contract meetings - are red flags for me. Red enough to either never apply or show myself out with some excuse.

It was all analog at the time, and much faster -- processing that amount of data would take decades at that time if done digitally -- for those who were involved it was a child's play to degrade the signals they've spent so much energy to configure with proper timings and responses.

I am lucky enough to have a good manager with whom I can have very open conversations.

We often talk about things we could improve at our company. Many times it is fixing a bug or improving the UX. Sometimes, it's a process that needs to be built or tweaked. At other times, it's a habit that is counter-productive or something that one of us does that could be done better.

It's a two way street. Just because he is my manager does not mean that we should not talk about things that he needs to change in order for everything to work better. We are equal human beings and differ in areas of responsibility at the company we work for. I am responsible for building software and fixing it, and he is responsible for making sure that I, and others like me, have all the resources necessary to do our job. He is not superior to me and I am not superior to him. We all have flaws and we all strive to be better people.

Conversations where we talk about how each of us can improve naturally have a small level of discomfort. Special care must be given when pointing out how someone can improve. Knowing that there are good intentions behind such feedback makes it ever so easier.

> dramatic shift from the classical view of the future

This was always the colonial view of the future, perhaps adapted up to the Eisenhower era. Like everything else, science fiction writing has adapted to post-colonialism. The watershed was probably somewhere around the 60s-70s:

> Technology has not solved hunger, poverty, sickness, or human suffering, in fact in many cases it has made them worse. The environment has been fucked by centuries of industrial abuse, the cities are a mess, drugs and crime are rampant, the streets are dirty, even the rain is dirty.

i.e., the present western milieu from about the 1970s: acid rain, nuclear rain, superfund sites, New York as "no go area". Many of which have actually improved since then but survive as tropes.

Remember that the "cyber-" prefix relates also to control systems, both in the sense of industrial control like PID loops and by analogy social control systems through feedback. Look for the control systems. Neuromancer (1982) provides lots of great examples of this; almost every character including the AIs are labouring under external control which they are trying to shake off.

Some software just sucks less.
Is it efficient and sufficient though? And can and do we build real security on top of it?

This issue shows systems have been built for decades with blatant holes because it was not taken into account in even core os admin tools.

There is the other problem corresponding to the myth that everything is a fd. Which has never been true, and is even less and less as time passes.

Also, extensive extra security hooks and software using them are built, but not of top of this model.

Finally, sharing posix fd across security boundaries often causes problems because of all the features available for both sides, for which the security impact are not studied.

A model just stating that posix fd are capa is widely insufficient. So if this is the only one, even in the context in pure Posix we already know this is an extremely poor one.
