You would be surprised to find out how many large companies(i.e top 500) lost theier databases, banks included. Many can be googled but most never made it public or didn't even know what happened to them. Chances are that your contact data has been leaked by several parties already. My conclusion is that you can't secure data unless you make a goal of that and even then it's not a sure thing. All your private networks have multiple public entery points and possibly a coordinator(i.e kubernetes admin). Most ecommerce companies and even payment processing companies think of security as an accessory to their business not a primary concern. If they are too focused on security they loose market share(i.e the vetting takes too much time) The only solution is to consider all unencrypted data public and use encryption at the client level(i.e mobile device).

I also use Arch, so I can't speak to the Ubuntu situation. I'd certainly hate to have to stay abreast of drivers on any other distribution. For all that Ubuntu promises that it Just Works, it seems like way too much trouble compared to Arch.
MBA programs should adjust to the market by developing more concentrated 1-year degrees in specific disciplines: Finance, Operations, Marketing, Product, etc.

The first year of most MBAs are just core courses in various business disciplines: you'll learn accounting if you know you want to be a brand manager for a CPG company, or you'll learn org design if you're aiming for a job at a hedge fund. While I see the value in interdisciplinary education--and while I strongly endorse interdisciplinary core courses for undergrad--these courses simply aren't necessary for a professional degree and the extra year of school costs are prohibitively expensive.

I'd love to see more concentrated MBAs that really focus on specific disciplines. Basically, cut out the first year of an MBA and just focus on a core set of discipline-specific courses. Most MBA program already have these designed as "concentrations" so I'd imagine the actual implementation of such a program wouldn't be too complex. And if they're only one year long, the price would be halved.

I've personally considered, and considered against, an MBA degree due to the prohibitive costs to even apply, but a program like this would make it much easier to swallow that pill.
Until Krikzz stops producing them. His GBA carts are 10x faster than the ones from AliExpress (and 10x the cost, too)
The next question is, how long does the affect of the college you attend vs. experience matter with an MBA?

For software development, from personal experience of going to an unknown state school in the mid 90s, I was just as competitive with people coming from well known schools within three or four years. It probably would have helped with me landing that first job.
I like the idea of using identicons for build hashes! Might have to start doing that myself.

Thank you. I found your comments very insightful and helpful.
The kind of cross-reference SourceGraph provides is a must have for me after a few years of using a tool like it to understand big projects (I don't use SourceGraph, I use Grok/CodeSearch).

Google open sourced a version of Grok some time ago (https://kythe.io/). [1]
A quick search also found this `OpenGrok` thing which I assume must be yet another generic indexer [2].

I wonder if there are other popular tools out there providing generic cross-referencing of code bases?

<SourceGraph>

I was trying to find the equivalent of this Kythe page (how to write an indexer)[6] on SourceGraph docs, after 20 minutes I was still confused. I wish there was more clarity on the different pieces of the system. At first I thought SourceGraph could create a cross reference index from an LSP server, but I guess makes more sense it is the order way around? (SG can talk to text editors via LSP).

It must be a lot of work to make integrate any single language with both SG or Kythe and LSP, perhaps there's some tools or methodologies to make this easier?

<Tangent>

I feel like language designers don't always think about building their implementations with ease of integration as a goal. I remember wanting to play with doing some AST transformations with both TypeScript and Dart (independently) and finding both languages made the task so hard and tedious. Mandatory remark: this is so easy with Lisp derivatives :-)

Things that a good language+ecosystem should have, IMO:

* Easy to retrieve and manipulate CST (for things like writing refactoring and querying tools, writing code formatters/pretty printers, etc). Many languages provide the syntax tree say, without comments, so it is hard to write a pretty printer.

* Documentation generator with cross-reference navigation.

* Play along nicely with generic build tools like Ninja [3].

* Good debugger and value-pretty-printer support (so I can just drop a breakpoint and print anything easily). And some sort of API to use the debugger programmatically or connect to a remote process.

* An LSP implementation [4], although it seems pretty much every popular language is getting one these days!

INSEAD is a highly respected MBA program (outside of the US) that offers a 10 month MBA[1]. This sounds more like what you are referring to, geared towards those with around 6 years of work experience.

> Apollo’s database contains publicly available data, including names, job titles, employers, social media handles, phone numbers and email addresses. It doesn’t include Social Security numbers, financial data or email addresses and passwords, Apollo said.

Eh? So are email addresses included or not? They’re listed in both categories.
Slightly OT, but I find the quality of this automated translation mind blowing.
It sounds like spreadsheets are complex enough that sandboxing them by static analysis is a losing battle.
TestFlight helped solve very real problems iOS developers had back in the day when it came to managing beta testing etc, and the acquisition was clearly developer tools focused for Apple. I don’t think it’s sensible to read too much MDM ambition (if any really) on Apple’s part into that particular acquisition.

MDM is a very “enterprisey” market for Apple specifically, historically they’ve been more than happy to let others fight for the few dollars it typically brings in relative to their giant consumer/hardware businesses. Even Tim Cook has made the argument that letting businesses like IBM handle the enterprise cruft helps keep Apple’s focus on just making great consumer products.

In Australia they have to record the details of the person buying the phone, but suffice it to say that relying on someone making minimum wage at a supermarket to enforce national security isn't particularly effective.

Is there no legal recourse for us? I understand one can travel with a burner phone or backup, wipe, restore etc but if one wants to travel without doing something a drug dealer would do, is there anything else that can be done?

Is there no collective legal recourse for us?

https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cloudflare-workers/ the original workers release explains why they dont use node and instead build with v8 directly.

Node is not a cure all. It's for prototyping with wasm. You need significantly more integration with the execution environment to have DOS protection. How cloudflare does this I don't know. They'd have to remove features like multithreading and continually patch around v8 afaik. Even spidermonkies API is unuseable in a server context.
If those 2-3 years in industry were in management consulting or finance, then I wouldn't have put those people as the "no idea" group, that's a normal part of progressing within those industries if you've been promoted quickly

Nearly every self-help book mentions the importance of goal setting. It is important even for those with a pedigree and born into wealth (I recognize not every student in this study was born into wealth but the median Harvard family earns at least 3 times the national average).

From https://sidsavara.com/why-3-of-harvard-mbas-make-ten-times-a...

“Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made plans to accomplish them?” In 1979,
interviewers asked new graduates from the Harvard’s MBA Program and found that :

84% had no specific goals at all
13% had goals but they were not committed to paper
3% had clear, written goals and plans to accomplish them

In 1989, the interviewers again interviewed the graduates of that class. You can guess the results:

The 13% of the class who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84 percent who had no goals at all.

Even more staggering – the three percent who had clear, written goals were earning, on average, ten times as much as the other 97 percent put together.

Edit: I had often heard of this study and just pasted the first reference I found. I would delete this post, if I could, as its credibility is questionable. Thanks femto.
Getting up early is a sign of discipline, but it's only a start. It's a mentality of going after every day with a sense of urgency.

Obviously not everyone can become billionaires, but most people can better themselves by adding more discipline to their lives.
But they aren’t equivalent, that’s why they aren’t treated the same.
That’s totally fair. I thought of the imagery of scattering when the light turns on, but did not mean to imply any other connotations. I think there is a certain attributable antagonism to people who chase after credential rent seeking opportunities, but I do not think anything substantially worse of those people, and I did not intend anything like that with my use of the roach comparison.
Also, meetings first thing in the morning isn't exactly a productive, mind engaging activity. That would make pretty much anybody want to go back to sleep. It has to be something that benefits you that you are excited about achieving.
This argument doesn't make any sense, plenty of bad things are human nature, that doesn't mean you should just throw up your hands and say "oh well".
> Interesting perspective. Is it your belief that people read these as how-to or self-help books?

My friends and acquitances definitely read these books to glean some sort of inspiration/hidden jem that would start them on path to riches.

My life has no parallel to lives of these people and there's nothing I could copy.

It's my opinion that the odds of me being a CEO of a huge Corp are same as a person who is homeless for years going through college and getting a job making six figures.
Since they wrote software under a permissive license, they're explicitly giving anyone permission to do that. I would therefore assume that they're okay with it.

I'm not okay with it, so if I write something I default to licensing it under the GPL (and I recommend doing the same), but my opinions aren't universal.
It couldn't be patented since it's been public knowledge for a while:

"In order for an invention to be patentable it must be new as defined in the patent law, which provides that an invention cannot be patented if: the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale, or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention” or . . ."[1]

Getting up early is just a sign of discipline. Ignore that Notch may be a sign of survivorship bias for second. I watched one of Ludlum dares one time and one thing I saw was discipline. There is no other way to make a complete game in ~48 hours without it.
The problem is the lack of motivation: VOIP service providers aren't being smacked with multi-thousand dollar penalties per call when their customers spoof caller ID.

If Peerless Networks was starting at millions of dollars in fines fake IRS scams originated on it because there's no way for someone else to find who actually originated the fraudulent calls, you would be able to bet a farm that a concept of a fake caller ID coming from Peerless Networks would go away.

I manage the personal devices of my family members (wife, parents, in-laws) through MDM. My parents and in-laws are quite tech-illiterate, so it helps to be able to enforce some restrictions via profiles to prevent them from doing stupid things to their own devices, and thus reduce the time I have to spend on providing tech support (across the ocean no less). It's also useful for distributing Wi-Fi/VPN configs so I can enforce that VPN must be used on untrusted Wi-Fi, for example.
I know what Cloudflare workers are. Did you look at isolated-vm? It uses the V8 isolate API exactly how Cloudflare describes it being used, except it is exposed as a Node module so you can write the “parent” process in JavaScript instead of C++. It exposes memory limits and wall & cpu time limits. It is sponsored by the Fly.io CDN from what I can tell for exactly the same use case as Cloudflare workers.

Ah, OK. That doesn't mention that the 1 MB limit is after compression, though.
Ah Taylor Swift, she didn’t really win the lottery though, or if she did, she was able to start off buying a loooooot of tickets. Her father worked for Merril Lynch, from three generations of bank presidents. Her mother worked in finance. When she was 14 her father moved the family to Nashville and worked for Merril Lynch there, and invested in a record label called Big Machine to the tune of $120,000. This was the company that first signed her.

She grew up rich, with the freedom to pursue her passion from the age of 10, when her mother would take her to karaoke contests. The ability to up stakes and move to Nashville, to have your father buy your way into a record label... well... it doesn’t overshadow her natural ability, but it helps to explain how she was able to leverage it so effectively.
Poor sales is the most likely reason.
Beating the market. I always heard it's not possible. It's so easy now that I look back at it.
I think the new parental controls iOS and Android have recently introduced are far more effective for this than using MDM, personally. These features are specifically designed for this use case.
After reading a bit of evolutionary psychology, I realized to my astonishment that humans have evolved to survive, and not to be perfectly rational. Rational so much so its useful. I'm actually convinced that extreme rationality has evolutionary disadvantages. When you realize the universe has no meaning, does it motivate you and your species to keep breeding and take risks? As Schopenhauer said, if you truly considered all the costs associated with having kids before having them, no rational being would ever have kids! No person thinking clearly would ever trade 10-15 minutes of feeling good for a lifetime of costs and responsibilities. Then there's tribalism and ingroup and outgroup psychology which dictates much of what we see. These are survival mechanisms meant for living in small tribes, malfunctioning in a globally connected civilization. I would suggest yuval harrari's recent article on how humans are hackable and how that completely demolishes our concepts of liberal democracy , free market etc which assumes rational actors behaving in their self-interest.
I guess I do agree with you that it’s better for a project to brazenly denounce support than to feign an effort.

In the case of TensorFlow in particular, it allows forward thinking people to realize it’s not a safe project to bet the farm on at all, not even anywhere close, even without factoring in Google’s tendency to sunset projects regardless of their relative success or community needs.

This is why nobody’s using it. Keras gives you the option of other backends, and there’s a large shift to PyTorch as well. Even being new and not as featureful, you simply just cannot stake the long term health of a project on the constant rug pull that is TensorFlow.
Victor here, just a heads for others thinking of applying here. The following may or may not prevent you from wasting your time. Here goes: David asked to meet up for coffee in SF to follow up on my application and then went awol while I was in SF waiting to meetup. No hard feelings but it says a lot about their values and ethics. It's not enough to say you have good values, you have to practice them too. Having said that, best of luck growing your company! Best, Victor.
Get up and work out. Afterwards your mind will be clear and ready to work. And, as a bonus you'll have a few hours before anyone else shows up to bother you.
Thanks for your opinion on this. I use Mac's built-in dictionary quite often. Guess the system provides some way to catch the look-up event, though then I also need to think about the notification part. Anyways spaced repetition sounds like a simple idea that could do the trick. The point of doing it automatically in the vocab learning (for foreign languages) case is so that you don't need to decide whether you've search a word before.
Is it easy to add new languages? I work at a large company with some very old codebases.
These are some pretty great improvements. I never felt I had to have cssmodules or sass, but I’ll definitely use them. Great work!
Shit talking JavaScript is pretty tired. Keep it to Reddit.

It doesn't, and they know that. A classic tactic is to underfund a thing you don't like, then point to it failing as an excuse for killing it outright.

I'm confused; isn't libc an interface and not an implementation?
