Your argument is suffering from being too abstract, I guess. It would help if you used more examples. Many people here are probably not aware of modus operandi of the Putin regime's propaganda and I'm only semi-aware as well.

I can see one example of what you're talking about and that is how Putin co-opted some prominent western anti-US-imperialists in service of his own agenda and his own imperial ambitions (setting up permanent bases in other countries, exploiting natural resources by means of war, killing innocent people by thousands, pretty much anything anti-imperialists abhor about the US). Enemy of my enemy... I guess. These people then talk about how Russia was invited by Bashar, or whatever and that makes it ok for it to bomb people there for years - but this is usually unstated, you just sense the implied sense of legitimacy and lack of criticism for Russia.

Many of these people have some followers that then repeats their talking points, or defer to their authority.

The only way to turn off Play Services is not installing them at all.
That site is extremely uncool on mobile, and I can't even find a way to contact them about it. Their desperately uncool need for Facebook and Twitter credit, along with their insistence that you read at a font size they've chosen, means I see three to five words per line. Ironically, tapping on 'accessibility' and starting to scroll auto-scrolls instantly to the bottom, then it's 'sticky' until it auto-scrolls all the way to the top!
Not sure why the link to Sony disagreeing that they don't own copyright to Bach links to a tweet by Jeff Bezos.
Completely agree. I understand the intent and sentiment of the OP, however in my mind abandoning and further isolating ourselves from China, will not be ineffective. I just don’t see the whole world lining up and agreeing to do this. This would also negatively affect the United States. Even if it did succeed in limiting China’s growth, it would be at the cost of billions of innocent Chinese people who just want to live better. The government would probably just control the story and China would become more isolated and I doubt a New Democratic government would just open up in its place.

I think the only way this is going to work is to continue investing in China. Play their game, call them out on foul play and punish China on a case-by-case basis. As the Chinese population becomes even more united, rich, educated, we have to hope that China naturally evolves towards a more open form of government and economy. It’s already making massive progress compared to where it was before.

In recap, this will be a long process of challenge and play. Any extreme action such as further or completely isolating China is not only extremely unlikely to even be possible, but also unproductive.

Try to "simply follow" when it's nested twelve levels deep.

Anyhow, with both approaches, nested or early return, the reader has to read the function from the beginning (or read back until the relevant part) to grasp when exactly a code portion will be executed. In both cases, all if's are relevant, there's no guessing.
Apologies, but it is hard for everyone to Unlean Things. It is just human nature/the way we are wired. It take discipline and great effort. What would doctors want to be different? We all got a comfort zone :)
It does, but those will vent to the atmosphere, if there is enough overpressure and it lasts for long enough the amount of gas released would be considerable.

It seems one solution might be to have a small constantly-burning flame (the other posts here that say small gas leaks are basically being ignored suggest that it wouldn't really cost much more) at the relief valve exits, so that if they vent, the excess gas just gets burnt. Obviously the relief valve exits should be located away from flammables, and preferably visible so that extended overpressure events are immediately noticeable from the flames coming out:

The goal is to not silently create an explosive mixture, but to burn vented gas to make it harmless and create a visible indicator of extended venting.

The end of the list is called Senior author and is very important and sometime a point of contention between collaborators. Still, if your name is on the list it’s because you presumably had a significant scientific contribution.

So no, being a CEO is not an automatic qualification. It’s actually a good measure of how narcissistic a CEO is.
Looks like the sites down, but if anyone's considering it I've got a Define R5 and it's the best case I've ever bought. So much noise deadening and unlike my coolermaster full tower it had a hole in the back of the mobo area so I could mount a new CPU cooler without taking the mobo out.

I think you are conflating a few different things. That they want you to use their OS is obvious. The 30 day period may even be a wear-you-down period, so that you grow to like their OS. That is quite unrelated to the evil reseller backstory, mainly because the reseller could do that after 30 days too, and if they only wanted to thwart resellers, they could do captcha + ip checks, which they presumably anyway do.
I prefer to have a package manager, that I control, rather than having a runtime that can randomly go out to the internet and download code, while I'm trying to run the application itself.

I had a professor that spoke fondly of the LPU, the "least publishable unit". And, needless to say, you shouldn't waste more than one LPU on one paper...

(Side note: I was amused to see that the LPU has a wikipedia article. It also references "Salami publishing"... Side side note: I was also amused to see that the acronym LPU also stands for "Lovely Professional University" in India.)

It's the academic analog to Hollywood's "executive producer" credit. At least they typically only take the last author slot on the paper's author list. That's how it is in computer science research.
> they have plenty of people intelligent enough to do better

Now, that's a very charitable assumption. I am not sure we have any evidence for that :-)

> Given how these stories over the poisoning have played out it certainly looks that way.

But that would mean that they were provoking the Western countries to give them hell. I am the first to admit that I do not hold their intellectual powers in any high esteem, but even so, even for them, this sounds outrageously insolent and stupid.

> Another problem was that I used several different ways to do the same thing in the code, without being clear about why. For example, I declared some parameters as constants and others (which weren’t being changed) as variables — mostly because I was being sloppy.

That's why C or especially C++ is probably the worst possible language to teach programming.

Also, be frank with your students from the beginning about one thing: there are areas that they should understand, and then there are areas that they should just treat as "magic" and not go into, on a certain level of development. Not because they're really magic, but just keep first things first.

> My reasoning is that the reader should know at each line what conditions are assumed.

I don’t get it. How do early returns not convey assumptions that can be made in the rest of the function?

> Returning in the start is as anti-pattern for me as goto in the middle. both of them leave you with lines of code that only a debug session (in mind or in action) can tell you what lines will be called.

This is really confusing to me. What do you mean by “in mind or in action”?

In any case, if you have runtime conditions you can’t tell what code will be executed in general just by looking at the code regardless of whether you’re looking at nested code or code with early returns.

> I will choose nested code any-day if that means i can simply follow what `if`s are relevant rather than guessing.

Are the conditions for early returns not relevant or something? What about them leaves you guessing?

You are aware of such things as layered security, yes?

SSL isn't unbeatable security, it has holes, but it can help prevent a number of issues, such as the one in the OP to become critical at all.

Similarly, PGP signing helps against a certain class of attacks.

Both together cover a wider attack scenario than either alone.

A software exploit could undermine literally any secure system but in this case the addition of SSL would have prevented this exploit from being dangerous to a huge number of people.

Since they introduced JIT compilers for JavaScript, keep spending money pushing forward an operating system that is basically a browser juggler and introduced PNaCL.

Rendering performance.

The way DOM semantic works is no match for a composition engine designed from the bottom up for accelerated graphics UI.

DOM is for displaying documents not interactive graphics.

This is also the main reason why Flutter team dropped DOM, at they were hitting the border of what was possible while keeping DOM semantics.

Also why Houdini project exists, but it is far from ever reaching the browsers.
They should just have a self checkout machine without the bag scales, that's the part that ruins them.
Well, honestly, I think the wall you're encountering might be the one that guards the powers vested in those who enjoy authority.

So, to express awareness as a peer tampers with someone's will to power. Would that you place yourself at eye level with royalty, still choose to do so, knowing it be treason that criminals are broken upon the wheel for toying with?

This is an abyss with no bottom, you must almost half-realize. I mean, somewhere in all this, the true cost behind any doctor's bill (above and beyond funding their mortgage and BMW) is malpractice. Someone catches bell's palsy after a chiropractic procedure, and before it resolves itself, BMW doc's former college roommate gets professionally ruined by an ambulance chaser. Nevermind he was a chiropractor, not even a real doctor, and flunked out because organic chem.

This horror story fuels every bill for every surgery, and every insurance company is really just an endless phalanx of lawyers suing institutions as busy work, looking to extract every spare penny that didn't get blown on lost keys fobs for luxury sedans, as if it were spare time spent folding clothes at The Gap outlet.

If your herbal tea cured your rickets, how can anyone replace your knees with titanium hinges? You didn't even take the MCAT.
>And that's why entrusting a third party with managing something as critical as your source code is unwise.

Yes, but signing your code strongly reduces the need for trust. If every commit is signed, and every checkout and clone checks that commits are signed by one of the trusted parties, Github has no chance to insert or modify code.
How does checking at the start not convey what conditions are relevant and what assumptions can be made in the rest of the function?

I didn't rely on T's docker integration, that would have been a loss, I guess. HAP has much better behaviour though, T tended to buffer requests a lot which lead to several times in which either T crashed or the host system started swapping like crazy because the server had balooned to a few gigabytes memory.
To do what you describe they simply send guys from a well-known ‘republic’, which is all green light on any crime you have in your russian crime book. All russians understand this language, and there is no reason to use wmds for that. If it was a message, it must be very secret language of selected few, not for a diaspora. I really doubt that there is a thing like ‘looking over their shoulder’ since what’s the reason for that? Why not just look over all shoulders?

The fact that no one understands (or asks himself) how these irrational political actions take place at all shows that they are smarter than you may think. Or that they are just complete idiots. Choose your enemy and good luck with that. Or don’t and stay aware.

But let’s not be fooled by politics, I already feel from these hn discussions how russians are more and more viewed as monkeys with grenades and even if it wasn’t a someones goal, it was totally reached. As if it was a shame being russian, politics excluded. I’m deeply offended by this ignorance, vot.
Don’t blame Serverless. Blame it on a poor implementation. AWS Cloudwatch supports cron rules that include the year that it should be scheduled and it can trigger lambdas directly. There was no reason he had to over complicate this.

As far as using a queue, lambda also supports triggering based on a queue.

Romanian Hacker 'Guccifer' to Be Extradited to US
I don't know what "accident" (or even "incident") you're talking about. What happens is: the guard looks at the bottle, asks if I have a prescription. I show the (fake) paper, they look at it, nod and let me go. No record is ever made of this.

Most of the time, the guard doesn't even speak the language; I'm not sure they're even trying to read it, they're just ticking a box in their mind that says "there was a paper".

My guess is, it would work with any paper; I may try that some day (show a completely unrelated prescription, or something that isn't even a prescription).
Building Deep Learning Solutions:Debugging and Interpretability
I'm a professional. I don't need someone else to configure my system tools for me.
I am aware of that, yes. Layered security and privacy of which packages you've downloaded are the two most compelling arguments in favor of SSL that I've seen in this thread.

But I think it's reasonable to talk about security systems by giving the developers the benefit of the doubt that their code doesn't have exploitable bugs. My main point is that, assuming it's implemented without bugs, PGP is more secure than SSL, and that SSL alone would be worse than PGP alone. Combining them would be an improvement, but I'm rejecting the idea that the current design is insecure.

Having the package maintainers personally tell you their package's checksums would have also prevented this problem, but it's clearly not practical. Sometimes SSL isn't practical. If you can design a system which is secure without it, it is an improvement, but not a requirement.
I've been programming for the vast majority of my life, professionally for something like 30 years. I've done other jobs as well. My general advice to people thinking of becoming a programmer: Go ahead if you like programming. If not, then there are almost certainly better jobs than this.

Don't get me wrong. On paper it's attractive. Quite high salary. Casual dress. Often flexible hours. No heavy lifting. High demand for skilled workers.

On the other side: You have to concentrate to a level that most people can't even understand -- and you have to do it all day, every day. Nobody understands what you are doing and most people under appreciate the difficulty (which is actually a huge understatement). Many managers believe that the reason things are going more slowly than they would like is because you don't have enough stress in your life. Unfortunately, the reality is that while you don't have much day to day stress (unless you are are in dev ops), you have ridiculous long term stress. No matter what you are working on, you don't have enough information to do your job. As soon as you learn enough to do your job, the job changes. Your tools change on a yearly, if not monthly basis -- and the amount of learning necessary to get good at your new tools is a full time job in itself. On top of all that, the field is immature to the point that it is likely that every single person on your team has a different way to solve every problem. And they are all convinced that everybody else's solution is crap. And they are all correct (pause to let the implication sink in). You're going to get it wrong almost all the time, and it will take you something like 30 years (if I'm any measure) to realise it. But even when you finally figure something out, nobody will listen to you, because they all think you are wrong (and they are probably correct about that too).

It's a terrible job. Only do it if you really, really want to do it.

On the other hand, I've known a few people who are able to clock in and clock out, do a competent job, and not get too stressed about stuff. I'm still trying to figure out how they do it.
Using smart contracts for smart hires
Number 3 has some merit. But. Number 3 is also the cause of much grief. I have had to deal with the consequences of "gun/guru" developers doing 3 because it is easy, without them considering the effects on those who use the systems in question.

It is our responsibility to look at what is needed and what complexities, if any, are required to achieve the results. Of course, the opportunities to actually talk with the end-user of any software system is rarely available in the normal course of development, especially for junior programmers. It would be a useful tactic to have all programmers have to deal with the end-users and actually face their complaints and have to learn what the code is doing to those end-users.
Those disadvantages are based on the particular implementation. You could replace MD5 with bcrypt.
I'm not sure if it is still the case nowadays, but back when I had an iPhone I remember that Apple had a killswitch which allowed them to remove already installed apps on one's phone.
