Agree that in situations where you're experiencing chronic pain is much difficult but having a stoic mindset can reduce the domino effects of pain. Anxiety is the difference between reality and expectations, and worrying about whether it's going to get worse or last forever is only going to make it worse. A stoic realizes that physical pain is sensory based and this pain is an automatic response from the body. The pain they bear with but don't react negatively and pessimistic about possible outcomes imagined by the mind. Celebrating the few moments of feeling no pain is way more effective than stressing over all the time when it does hurt. Easier said than done of course
I don't think that's true. In my experience there are many Russians moving to London for software positions. The parent is also not Russian from what I understand.
Automated Instruction Stream Throughput Prediction for Intel and AMD
Several of your factual assumptions are just wrong. For example, there are no "exclusivity agreements"--those have been illegal under federal law since 1994. Also, ISPs never received "hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars." That number is a total fabrication: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7709556.

But leaving the facts aside, this is something you can logic through. Instead of speculating about what problems Google might have faced, look to its actual conduct to see what problems it tried to avoid. If "industry lobbying power" was the problem, you'd expect Google would try to deploy fiber somewhere it had the leg-up lobbying-wise, like Seattle or San Francisco or Mountain View. It never did that. Under your theory, you have to assume that Comcast (based in Philadelphia) has more lobbying muscle in Google's own back yard than Google.

What did Google do instead? It went to medium-sized cities in Red states with overhead utility lines. Atlanta, Austin, Provo, Kansas City, etc. Why? Because those cities waived regulatory requirements they applied to incumbents, including the crucial one of build-out requirements (the requirement to build out to the whole city). Google went places like Kansas City, which fast tracked permitting, gave free leases of public land for fiber huts, and waived the obligation to cover low income neighborhoods. Indeed, the willingness to waive build out requirements (which are routine in the industry), is one thing these disparate Fiber cities have in common.

All of this tells you that the basic problem with Fiber was profitability (not just making a profit, but enough profit compared to what else Google could be doing with that money). Build-out requirements kill profitability, because you’re forced to spend a lot of money building to neighborhoods where you can expect few customers. (The major cost of a fiber build is wiring the neighborhood, not hooking up each house.) That’s why a cornerstone of Fiber was the idea of “fiberhoods”—neighborhoods with demonstrated demand for fiber. (Of course, remember, the initial fiberhood selection exluded most low income neighborhoods in KC, as you’d expect. Google was forced to back peddle and add a bunch of low income neighborhoods in. But that misstep tells you a lot about the money math that was driving Fiber.)
This is great article.

Well, for the past 40 years Intel managed to deliver node shrinks mostly on time. Management got used to that and thought that 10nm troubles were temporary, not something that required new design like rumored 10/12nm hybrid replacing original 10nm plans.

I'm not arguing for Chrome's implementation. I'm saying we should do the more useful but harder thing of just not using "www" as a thing in browser URLs. They have correctly identified it as redundant, but instead tried to fix it by being too clever.

As I mention elsewhere, the first two are bad examples. (In fact. ntppool.org and www.ntppool.org are the same thing.) The third is a hack from the era where responsive design, browser sniffing, and polyfills didn't exist. It should probably die too, but doesn't have to here. The m.tumblr.com name is distinct from tumblr.com and is of the form I think better. Note that they didn't use www.m.tumblr.com.

Summary quote:

Buffett is not cutting his children out of his fortune because they are wastrels or wantons or refuse to go into the family business -- the traditional reasons rich parents withhold money. Says he: ''My kids are going , to carve out their own place in this world, and they know I'm for them whatever they want to do.'' But he believes that setting up his heirs with ''a lifetime supply of food stamps just because they came out of the right womb'' can be ''harmful'' for them and is ''an antisocial act.'' To him the perfect amount to leave children is ''enough money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing.'' For a college graduate, Buffett reckons ''a few hundred thousand dollars'' sounds about right.

That’s in 1986, so the equivalent figure is more like a million bucks and change today.

The majority of homeless aren't lazy. Instead, a whole lot of them have severe mental issues, causing them to be incapable of holding a job.

No, this is incorrect, they spent a ton of money and time building new last mile aerial fiber. Don't confuse long haul dark fiber IRUs with the last mile access layer of the network.
The compiler does not catch your logic bugs. But stronger, more expressive type systems catch syntax bugs and structural errors like you wouldn't believe. It's not an all or nothing.

I have spent an embarrassing amount of time troubleshooting a < that should have been a > (in F#) where it actually resulted in a very subtle defect. I'm not aware of a type system that works have prevented this and yet,I do strongly agree with the assertion that in more strongly/statically typed language, "compiling successfully = very likely to run correctly."

Yes, you're right of course.

Looking at it again, I'm reading Wirth's statement as pretty much a bog-standard endorsement of synchronous circuit design.
You're making a lot of assumptions.

1. That working in tech is the only way to enjoy the tech community.

2. That the "cage-monkey" job described at the top of thread is as good as it gets, and that aspiring to do something else means something non-tech.

3. That good looks and some other job necessarily means modeling.

Look. I was clear to indicate it was what I would do, and also to indicate that I would have the same intelligence. What I was trying to imply is that based on inherent cultural (and likely neurological) bias towards good looking people and symmetrical faces, I would prefer to leverage that natural benefit into a better position, or something I liked doing better. Because I've been a cage-monkey before. It's better than a lot of things, but it sucks in a lot of ways too. Spending large amounts of time in a very loud and very cold room using crappy crash-kart setups to do emergency maintenance on systems sucks. Racking equipment and running cables is actually the fun part.

So, I understand you were probably conditioned to assume the worst given the thread and how your initial response, but please, it isn't warranted.

There are quite a lot of things which people transmit as true beliefs, which we all know are false. We tell people that not only love exists, but true love, and justice, and objective truth, and honor. No one has ever touched or measured an atom of love -- but we all need to feel loved, and acting like love or truth or honor don't exist leads to atrocities. Funny old world, ain't it?

It is worth mentioning that grande is now owned by the same capital group that owns Wave, which has been a pioneer in affordable gigabit access in condos and apartments, where they can reach a premises economically (flat rate $60/100Mbps, or $80/1000Mbps), no caps, no quotas, no upstream rate limits.

A message can still be considered a DMARC failure since the check depends on both SPF and DKIM. You can have various failures like recipient rewrites and general SPF/DKIM failures which will fail DMARC a significant amount of the time.
I'm curious then, what do they use for real time simulations? From what I see, some groups use Opal-RT:

I would caution you not to. What goes on the internet stays there forever. Google will fight your right to be forgotten. Real names are a great way to attract batty twitter haters who want to ruin your life due to some perceived slight from reading your stories. You can easily go from pity story of the day to "ZOMG I hope you never get a job and die in the streets" in just a few words on this board. Be wary.

So twitter was lying when they said he was banned for his video with the CNN guy?

> false equivalence of trying to compare him to Jeong a complete farce

Exactly - he clearly is not as bigoted, racist, and hateful as Jeong.

A more similar comparison would be Sarah Jeong and Richard Spencer.

> but that’s incompatible with defending extremists like Jones.

Why? I don’t need to agree with everything you say to defend your right to speak.

Alex Jones is a conspiracy nut but he’s also brought up lots of interesting topics worth discussing.

There is no need to spread malicious lies about him like saying he has called for armed uprisings.

> blood and soil guys

Ah yes the fringe fake right who want socialism and open borders but only for whites.

Maybe you should put down the fake news and go out and meet some conservatives. There are millions of us in California.

> The birthers

The birthers belong in the same category as the 9/11 truthers and the current Trump-Russia conspiracy theorists.

You can hardly compare them with hardcore racists like Jeong.
This is a perfect example of them doing it wrong.

Modern cryptographic algorithims rarely get broken, but keys get stolen by malware all the time. Instead of moving the keys out of system memory and thus out of reach of malware they just add layers of obfuscation to a key that is going to be decrypted into system memory. Mixing unrelated strong ciphers is likely to yeild nothing but a false sense of security at best and yeild malleability attacks at worst.

If you take your key and encrypt it 3 times, or 200 times, it is still moot if it by design it ends up plaintext in system memory.

You don't see anyone else doing this sort of nonsense mix and match security for a reason. Their threat profile is fundimentally broken if they think attacks on modern crypto primitives are more likely than malware on an end users system.

I've been using ag, the silver searcher, for a few years now. It's blazingly fast (easily searching a massive code base in single-digit seconds), automatically ignores files I almost never want to be searched (anything in .git for example), and has convenient defaults around color highlighting and showing context.

I'm more than open to add ripgrep to my collection of everyday tools, however, if there is a real benefit. Does ripgrep do anything that would replace or complement my ag usage?

Note that it may also be possible that for new users, ripgrep is the better tool, but that ag is still more than good enough if you already based workflows and habits around it.
If only we didn't care about privacy.

In someone else’s car with a perfect stranger? I truly don’t care about privacy in that situation, and having an expectation of privacy there is delusional. In my car, I want the option for as much privacy as being surrounded by windows in a public space allows, but the whole point is that this would not be my car.

Come on.
To me, the senior execs leaving is what's probative. Reading between the lines, the CFO left because he feels Musk is unstable and doesn't know what to expect. I take that as much more significant than my own perception of Musk or some random person on the internet. Also, I tend to discount FUD about cash and production goals, but again, I weight the insiders' actions much more highly.
Does anyone know of a similar open source tool for mocking ISO 8583 based APIs?

Yea, you'll get asked for ID to prove you're of drinking age.

That's totally different than some kind of state proctored or recognized bartending exam that a bartender must have passed in order to work at the bar.
I'm comparing path finding and other navigational and body maneuvering abilities within the context of their world and constraints. Insects are very good at navigating their space and other very complex behaviors that are at least as difficult as driving a car.

I was comparing the two to illustrate how far behind biology we still are when it comes to AI. Our AIs consume hundreds or thousands of watts and are demonstrably inferior to the brains of insects that consume milliwatts. We are many orders of magnitude behind what biological brains can do both in absolute terms and in terms of efficiency. The difference in efficiency is so large I think it argues strongly for unknown unknowns -- things living brains are doing that we simply don't understand at all.
This is an interesting take. But I'd have to disagree about this:

"Musk seems to be highly functioning bipolar"

To add to the great advice you got by davelnewton already, you should consider a few more things.

It's obvious that you're at the point of frustration, and you're taking it personal. It's either affecting your style of communication, or your style of communication is combative as a whole.

Speaking of personal, your resume is very personal, where it should be professional. Reading your resume should be a succinct representation on your professional skills. Your personal style and hobbies are something that co-workers learn during interviews and after you start your job. As other people have said, less is more in this aspect.

Hiring managers find objectives in a resume mostly useless. Even if you insist on including an objective, the current one is weak. It's about as generic as the label you'd find on white bread. It should be a summary of who you are (professionally). For example: "A Software Engineer with over 10 years worth of experience with a track record of delivering exceptional quality on time with a focus on electrical engineering"

Your resume should sell, and you are the product. With that in mind, you should write it in a manner that describes the value you bring, not a laundry list of things you've done at your previous positions. It's great that you wrote driver software, but what impact did it have?

Everything on the resume that adds no value can be removed, that includes all of these 1-2 month long internship (it's ok to combine it into 1 "job" with multiple bullet points demonstrating value). It also includes everything that's extracurricular, hobbies, interests, languages, GPA, etc. (Use judgement here, if the job requires multi-lingual proficiency than you'd want to keep that)

References should not be on your resume. If someone wants a reference, they will ask for it.

You should list major roles and describe you VALUE and not day to day tasks. 3-4 bullet points each one a paragraph elaborating on how your contribution was valuable. Small roles can be combined, but the same rule applies - the place/title doesn't matter only the value.
The gap is increasing but the poor are overwhelmingly getting richer, not poorer.

I'm talking about in real terms, standard of living has gone up across the world for decades, even as the population has grown.

> It seems wrong that faith-funded organizations are allowed to discriminate based on religious belief.

Not that I think it's morally acceptable for faith-funded charities to turn away some people based on their lack of faith, but:

a) Individuals acting on their own founded and run the organization. It would be a violation of several important rights (theirs) for a government to regulate how they choose to run their charity, or whom they choose to help.

b) I have a hunch that a lot of these anecdotes attribute discrimination incorrectly -- i.e. I suspect the person in question was more than "not a believer". People who get turned away because they're chronically abusing the system (or for similar reasons) tend to infer malice where there is none, and level accusations accordingly.

That being said, I strongly disagree with any open-to-the-public charitable organization discriminating on the basis of religion or any other categorization, beyond the "this person is abusing the system and we don't want to hurt them further by continuing to enable this destructive pattern in their life -- so we can't provide further X to them until they do Y and Z".

I'll say this much: software is so disgustingly intractable, from week to week, that teaching people how to do it a specific way solves almost next to nothing.

Whatever you teach anyone in September, by June, it may not work. It's a bottomless pit of futility that sucks the life out of you, and even if you find a way to derive some pleasure from it, the rug will be pulled out from under you, and the forces of access denial with lack you out of the things you master only a month ago, for little more reason than bumping a version number.

Go ahead and learn something. Your learning will be so dependent on gigabytes of irrelevent libraries with highly specific build numbers, such that when support is dropped, and those builds are no longer available for download, your acquired skills will be struck down and renderd unusable.
It's hardly outside the realm of possibility that the big telecoms are lobbying for regulation that makes it easy for them and hard for everyone else.

I think what differentiates hopping between airbnbs and being homeless is whether you have the financial means to live in more stable conditions. Living in Airbnb’s could mean you’re a luxury traveler spending $100k+ year on accommodation or it could mean you can only pay for shelter on a day to day basis (ie you hustle for cash every day, convert it to some electronic format, and pay rent on a daily basis). There’s also the case where you can afford a 1room Airbnb in an area but not rent, which I also wouldn’t call homelessness
