I had no inkling I needed a mercury thyratron until now! Amazing stuff, this is like something from Fallout brought to life, and the mercury makes it suitably hazardous. I'm guessing the mercury is integral to the hue?

I saw something like this in a railway museum in Yorkshire or thereabout when I was a kid - I recall its label included 'rectifier' and I think it contained mercury, and was flashing or sparking in some way. I guess it must have been one of the mercury rectifiers as already mentioned, though I don't remember it glowing quite so beautifully. Certainly had me intrigued.
Blockchains Are a Bad Idea (James Mickens)
Finiteness (scarcity) of resources is the essence of capitalism, and thus the effective counterparty risk is also finite. The banking sector converged on this state via the bad incentives of under-regulation.

The problem is that the counterparty was (and still is) the whole host economy, the country, the world, etc. And similarly the economy would have stopped without the bailout.

There is no bigger fish when it comes to global finance, geopolitical institutions are largely reactionary (eg. the Basel III accords are nice, but they are completely post-crisis, as there was simply no incentive to push for better/stronger capital requirements before the crisis). And each country's financial regulation/oversight agency is bound by the incentives of our greedy human optimization strategies. (That is politics with all of its problems: money in politics as in regulatory capture, lack of campaign finance reforms, etc.)
Indian SBI Card does this, prevent pasting, & has set autocomplete=off to prevent browser from remembering the password. I got into Inspect Elements, removed autocomplete, & then typed in my password & then Chrome offered me to remember it. Now on subsequent logins, clicking into UserID does not trigger the saved id/pw combination dropdown from Chrome, but clicking in Password field does.

amazon.se was until recently owned by a Stockholmer who’d been holding out for a deal. What it went for I don’t know, but in the last 6 months it’s been transferred over to Amazon EU. Currently it redirects to a ‘Buying from Sweden?’ page on amazon.de.

Could you have an extension with a toggle that turns it off temporarily only for password entry? Or even better UX, integrate it into the password manager extensions such that the temporary action is invisible to the end user? It would toggle the switch off during login, and toggle it back on after.

Perhaps it's not a good idea to code too much browser-specific behavior into this stuff on the other hand.
Source, yours truly.

But what drove me away was not the money - I make a lot more money now, but in a much more expensive place. Retirement projections remain firmly planted on the very same date since I left and aren't going to change much either way unless some major upheaval happens.

What really drove me out was my lack of faith. Corruption was rampant (it was always like this, since well before I was born) but it was being investigated, in some cases more seriously than others, but the local equivalents to the DoJ and the FBI (I'm doing this for the Americans in the audience, hope it helps), for the first time since essentially ever, able to work free from executive interference and, unsurprisingly, uncovered a lot of misdeeds. With that, the perceived corruption skyrocketed, government popularity sunk, trust in the government went into a death spiral and the legislative and judiciary decided it'd be convenient to stage a coup (sorry, "impeachment" is not the right word) so that someone more malleable would be in power (there was even a phone recording stating that much).

At that moment I was over for me. I grew up in post-64 coup Brazil and don't want my daughter to go through the same.
Those compiler features were all implemented as macros at some point in the history of language design. The thing about macros is that they allow you to experiment with language design in the language you are working with (which is obviously much easier when your language is homoiconic).
My understanding is that GAFA (sometimes GAFAM, including Microsoft) is a european term, while FAANG is an american one.
Now, I am all for logic programming, but i have rarely found a place where such a solution haven't been to much of a mental burden for a project with more contributors than only myself. I love to find problems where logic programming is a good fit, and I love the elegance of such solutions, but I can'tc expect my team to actually grok it.

What are your experience? Any successful uses?
The phrase "Culture Fit" has many shades and hues. Generally, the hiring manager and his/her team would take a call on "cultural aspect", which in principle should be a fair representation of the company culture. But on many occasions that may not be case. If a manager has a bias and certain prejudicial views, it becomes culture of the team/group. In that case, a "culture fit" aspect of interview is meaningless.
Troy and Krebs should team up to create a security hall of shame and only remove companies when issues are fixed.

We have security vendors who have sslv2 enabled and they can't understand why that's an issue.

We have huge fortune 250 companies that we exchange full credit card data with that have TLS 1.0 enabled with Symantec certs and only two weak ciphers. I sent them an ssl labs report and they accused me of breach of contract for hacking the site.

This list of security and finance related vendors that are double facepalm worthy is just astonishing.

You need to fix yourself. Big time. I'm 38 and in a similar situation. Like me you're probably a very intelligent person but interacting with the real world is frustrating to the point where you'd rather lock yourself in a room all day.

I had to fix myself, it's not easy. But I'd also like to really push a point: see a mental health professional. Seriously. Plenty of us self diagnosed "crazies" pretend we understand our problems; we're prideful, fragile, ego maniacs so we tend to think were smarter than we actually are in some cases. So we tell ourselves: " I don't need no stinking shrink. I'll figure this out myself." But the reality is you need someone who is trained to observe and learn our bubble world we live in and tell us what they see, how to mitigate and how to improve. Instead, here we are, frustrated, pissed off and desperate for relief.

Have I seen a shrink? Nope. Why? Like you I'm stubborn. I also can't get my shit together enough to schedule something with someone. It's my fault for not going. Instead I self medicate with marijuana and try to live a life simple even though it's a massively complex mess. I also lost a lot of weight over the last year and a half going from 215 lbs to 160. I look better and feel better so that's a good first step. My mattress is also shot so sleep has been poor so i use the weed to help myself sleep ont hat slab of crap but that's because I'm too disorganized to buy a mattress and clean my room to prepare for delivery.

It's a vicious cycle if not properly addressed which we have to admit to ourselves is almost impossible without professional help.
True, and the current CO2 problem is exactly because of that eventual release - it's just that the CO2 was locked in oil and coal from millions of years ago. Growing trees would work, but only as long as their decomposition can be stopped (like it did when coal formed) or at least limited so that not all their CO2 is released and a big part of it returns into the ground.

But, major tree growing operations are already being done, lots of companies are into the CO2 trading business where growing trees = an X amount of CO2 emission rights they can sell to CO2 producing companies / factories.

Stop wallowing in self pity. You have a child to support so pull yourself together, stop blaming other, and get on with your life as best as you can.

If I order from Webhallen and similar I usually get next day deliveries (I live in Stockholm), but not even Amazon will be able to next-day-deliver to all corners of Sweden. I can't imagine Amazon does that in the US either?

I also don't miss any products, or envy the prices when comparing smaller stores to Amazon.de or uk.

The us amazon seems like a place where you can get anything, quickly and cheaply. The uk/de stores seems like they have limited selection not as good prices (even accounting for tax and currency differences). I get the feeling that Amazon US is this vast logistical network that makes super cheap and super fast shopping available. And at the same time amazon.uk/de seem like regular online warehouses offering no real price or delivery time benefit over the next store. Does that sound right?
Find some help. You really can't do it by yourself. Really, find someone who can guide you through.

Unless we stop burning fresh carbon, this makes no sense. The power has to come from somewhere, and if that isn't renewable energy, it's going to be a net loss. If it is, we should be substituting it in for fossil fuel instead of spending it on capturing carbon.

Yes, but this is specifically about mental health.

How do they calculate value to subscriber? Is it based solely on subscribe/not subscribe? Do I pay the same as an individual as my corp? Do I pay based on the number of my projects that use the subscribed package? Do I pay based on how much of the package I use (one tiny method vs one giant method vs every single method)? Or based on the number of time I use it as measured by static analysis? Or dynamic?

Will tidelift need access to my source or runtime to determine billing?

While it’s a good idea to help maintainers, I’m not sure this will help. The cost of accurate payout seems more expensive to determine fairly than commercial licenses.

I think existing models of dual license and patronage (red hat) or just flat out patronage (microsoft, google, Apple projects).

Or just having a wallet address in repos and let users choose how much to donate. Maybe wash it through a common wallet or include a hashtag in transactions so you can gamify it. I get a badge on my Github profile for how much I’ve given and received. My organization can show what projects they support. But this shouldn’t be a company. There’s no infrastructure. Having a company take 30% (or whatever non-zero level) of donations just to distribute would turn this into the WoundedWarrior of OSS.
Having been surrounded by people with different levels of depression my entire life (as well as my own, and my mother's BP), I just want to suggest that your situation isn't as written in stone as it seems.

Perhaps you're already doing this, but if not, I'd highly suggest you find someone to speak to long-term, and also find someone to help you manage these feelings with medication. It does make a difference.

Don't get your analogy. Photon is a quantum of light. Quantum computer is not a quantum of computing.
I like that line of thinking.

When discussing the suitability of different programming languages I always point to the problem at hand and identifying the abstraction level the problem is at. What your problem requires you to care about and pay attention to gives this.

Ideally, solving your problem would be a one-liner in an already existing DSL created for your specific problem (domain). In reality, this rarely happens and you must have your pick beteeen everything from niche DSL:s to assembly, but the key really is identifying that problem abstraction level.

I work in a mainly C/JS shop whereas I privately prefer Rust/ReasonML. Rust would be a great fit at work, but Go would also work nicely for tons of things we do. Alas, the inertia of organizations.
MSPaintIDE: Programming in MS Paint
I also did the same as an 18 year old. It wasn't the math that got me at the time, it was the hardcore statistics. This isn't the mid-tier stuff the data science people get paid for, these are the ridiculous sort of probability problems that just bend your mind trying to wrap your head around it.

I think it's a very powerful job background to have if you ever want to get into investing hardcore. The financial background it gives you is incredibly helpful for making investment comparisons. I still use the stuff that I learned when studying for the FM test for personal finance decisions like paying off mortgage vs student loans vs various basic investments.

I've been playing competitive games for 15 years. I think you're overstating how difficult it is to press one other button. It's also contradictory to the common practice of clans/scrim groups having a PTT policy.

I think people saying "Well X does it better." are missing the point. It's always been a problem. Ventrilo, Mumble, Teamspeak, etc. If you've never considered it a problem there is a good possibility a lot of people around you were just tolerating it.

I'm jealous of regularity. I'm ultradian cycling, they can last months, or days. As I get older, I don't get the joy of the manic highs anymore. I miss that quite a bit.

I'm from America, but don't live there, there's really not much of a social fabric. I couldn't even pay child support off of what I'd get, and I'd have to physically be in-country to qualify for any of that.

That does indeed seem to be the reason. As the article states it: "[T]he Krukenberg procedure's poor cosmesis makes it very rare [...]"

I'm sure self-image is a complicated consideration when someone is dealing with an amputation, I can't imagine trying to assess what the right choice for another person would be in that kind of situation.

I did quickly write out the post without putting much thought or research into it.

On power vs intensity since our distance from the sun is relatively fixed intensity is a better unit while distance from a radio tower is variable so power is a better unit. I also figured that a smart crowd like this would appreciate that you would be exposed to much less radiation standing next to the tower than standing in the sun and that it falls off at inverse square from the tower.

So I always forget technically ionizing UV is not in the terahertz range, however ionizing like damage to human biology does start in that range and is not a thermal effect.

The lightbulb statement was power and again was just a quick way of trying put it in perspective.
It's this kind of morally righteous fury that bugs me. You compare web security to unsafe carnival rides? Please.

Equifax had one of the worst breaches imaginable. So did Target. Far as I know, no one died. You know, I don't think anyone even got injured. Did some people have to call their bank and dispute charges? Maybe.

Not really a life or death situation was it? I don't think Tesco or Betfair are really life or death either? Sure they should have better security, but is it worth becoming an angry mob about it?
Aye, I've been on Lamotrigine for a decade now. It's the only thing I've had which didn't come with devastating negatives. Anti-depressants hospitalized me several times when I first started down this route. I think we went through a dozen different drugs over a 3 year period before lamotrigine + provigil created a modicum of stability.
Fidesz' victory was guaranteed in 2010. With or without the bailout. The preceding government was full of typical scandals of corruption and incompetence, and they were seen as the old guard from the Communist/Socialist era. People hated them, and it was surprising for a lot of people that Fidesz lost in 2006.

Without the bailout the economy would have been much worse, and Fidesz could have used some kind of other external enemy instead of the IMF.
> And I personally don't like the results a single bit, not every country is realizing what voting for righ-wing populists means like the French did. Germany certainlly isn't.

The AfD is still below 20% nationwide. And there's a glimmer of hope: Opinion polls suggest that the majority of Germans are increasingly frustrated that refugees and immigration politics are about the only topic of national discourse, even though we have a ton of issues that need addressing (affordable housing, shortage of nurses, sustainable pensions, crumbling infrastructure, the energy revolution, etc.).
Right, and that applies to probably all but a small percentage of organizations.

Not malice, just management that doesn't properly account for the negatives involved in poor security policy. Banks are no exception to the rule that all the managers are humans, and may not have the best information / mindset.

Suppose you were forced to use a language with no objects, and no closures. Since you're an effective dev, you'd find ways to cope. But we invented object systems to do better work.

Closures were another step up the ladder of abstraction, and now it's hard to imagine not being able to use them.

Macros are no different. It seems worth being skeptical of the idea that it's better for a programmer to have less power. And Emacs Lisp shows macros can work at scale without causing friction.

To your point on debugging, it all depends on the language. Elisp has an excellent debugging facility: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Ed...

The key is to internalize that macros are no different from functions. If you know how to call a function, you know how to use macros. The only difference is that they return code rather than values.
I can think of one exception to Troy's claim: companies that hold data of people who aren't their customers. No amount of shaming Equifax would have fixed their practices, because we can't choose to not have our data collected by them.
