I moved to London from India to do a masters and then found a job. The market definitely tries to capitalise on the visa requirement. They will try to get you at lower salaries, £40-50k. That being said, comparing it with the US market is quite unfair. At £50k you will have a comfortable life. But given you have 10 years of experience, you should definitely push for more. The other option would be to move here and find a better paying job.

Udacity changes policy from lifetime access to content to 12-month access
Looking for some advice and potential guidance as to what to do because I believe this violates their terms. Over a year ago I and many others signed up for their nano degree programs which cost over 1000$. They claimed at the time that graduates of their nano degree programs would have lifetime access to the content. On October 3rd, 2018 they decided to change that policy, even affecting people who paid for the nano degree prior to this change and telling them they'd only have access to the content until October 2nd, 2019.

Now there are a few things this company has done over the last year that is nothing but a cash grab and deceptive towards customers such as removing their initial 50% money back if completed before 12 months, more than doubling the cost of certain nano degrees ( eg: React) without changing the content even having overlapping content in some of the nano degrees. However, changing this policy and affecting people who bought the product with that in mind is absolutely disgusting. Does anyone know if this is legal? Can they be sued for this? Should I be contacting the better business bureau? I appreciate any help!

Link to change of policy:

A huge problem with GameDev is that there's a huge group of 20-somethings fresh into the job market with tech skills who think of it as their dream job and are fully willing to be abused and exploited in order to work in the industry. It takes years for them to be burned out, at which point there's another batch of eager young go-getters willing to fill their void. This dynamic means that even at the worst companies there is never a shortage of workers willing to grind through the endless crunch-time and put up with horrible working conditions and worse processes in order to get games to market.

Things used to be almost as bad in the software dev industry as a whole several decades back, except software dev moved on and got (a little) better. Additionally, a lot of those folks back then had substantial equity, whereas that's really not the case in GameDev today. There's an endless supply of disposable workers today, and that takes a lot of pressure off the industry to do better. Some places do better, but mostly through their own volition. And, unfortunately, such places are all too rare.
Ask HN: Did reading HN bring anything valuable into your life?
I'm trying to figure out my motivations behind specific online habits. One of them is reading HN.

I'm curious if reading HN bring anything valuable into your life or is it just pure entertainment. Did you learn something valuable, found a job, meet your wife. :)
No questions. Just a "thanks" - mu4e is great.

Let's Encrypt does today depend on DNSSEC because it uses a DNSSEC verifying validator. If you have chosen not to sign names of course your names aren't protected by this, names which are signed are protected.

In a similar way, Firefox does today depend on the Web PKI because it uses NSS, a TLS implementation with a certificate validator baked into it. If you have chosen not to use HTTPS of course your sites aren't protected by this, sites which use HTTPS are protected.
but doing things that don't scale is a temporary move until you figure things out. The results of those experiments must yield something.

they must be doing something that will eventually scale.

It’s a bit of a reality bias, for most poeple’s living memory. Politics and what people wish were true aside, the outcome for Palestinians is more or less a forgone conclusion. Acknowledging what is rather than a fantasy of what think should be isn’t really a bias, it’s reporting facts. In the same way that fact sheets on America will talk a lot about what America is today, and not a history lesson about how it was colonized by Europeans.
I literally don't know anyone who watches Netflix on a device with a space bar.

Hi, I'm mindcrime. Now you know somebody who watches Netflix on a device with a spacebar.
Completely agree. Amazon has grown to be a monopoly that doesn't value customer experience anymore.
Like many people here, I did not believe this until they started denying it so much.
This would imply there's some correlation between countries with large state sectors and political vitriol and dissonance, which absolutely does not appear to be the case.

(Also, politics after the civil war was brutal because Reconstruction was necessarily the destruction and re-building of a culture at gunpoint, that of the slave owners. Their resentment is still a poisonous factor in current US politics, Charlottesville passim)
I've never watched it on anything but a device with a space bar..

Same. I rarely if ever watch Netflix on anything other than my laptop.
If anyone is wondering, "tongue-in-cheek" is also a term used in the US.
Reminds me of around 2000-ish when WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) was still a thing, I was confined in the some of selected sites from the menu unless I'm on the higher tier. (e.g. you couldn't put in URL to navigate to other sites.)

I remember by going to Yahoo news (which was the one of the sites on the menu), pressing a back button at right timing in some screen, it dropped down to URL entry screen, and could navigate to any sites.
> “In 2015, we were made aware of malicious manipulation of software related to Supermicro hardware from industry partners through our threat intelligence industry sharing programs,” Facebook said in an emailed statement. “While Facebook has purchased a limited number of Supermicro hardware for testing purposes confined to our labs, our investigations reveal that it has not been used in production, and we are in the process of removing them.”

Facebook confirmed this happened. But looks like Apple and Amazon are denying it.
I'm voting for false flag because it's the most interesting hypothesis to imagine. Especially with the NCSC statement.
That’s good to hear. I know MAME is fairly rock solid for arcade machines, but I’ve always felt the dedicated emulators for home computers and consoles have long outpaced MAME in terms of accuracy and performance. I’m glad that you were able to make use of one of them to enrich your project.

They would not have blatantly lied about it in an official statement. That could not have passed legal.
Maybe that sounded over the top. I don’t come from a wealthy background. I worked 19 years to be here.
Sorry if the previous statement was a bit blunt to some.
The point is I don’t believe China is telling the truth how can they say the disappearance is “alleged”. Its totally bullshit downvote that too I don’t care.

BMC NIC is generally capable of being bridged to one of the main NICs, although it is possible to disable that feature, but also possible to override the disabling if you control the hardware.

This comment made me read it fully, it didn't disappoint.
+1, couldn't agree more. I wish more nations/Governments would think like this, but too many are motivated by more wealth and power. At some point, you would think, the animal would satiate itself. It appears that is not the case.

I learned details about undefined behaviour in C++ on hackernews. This was a great help when I looked for a job. I learned about Rust, tensors, Docker, GDPR, Angular, and many many more things. Generally my tech knowledge has become much more well-rounded and broader, but also deeper in several areas.

I also learned a lot about Silicon Valley and the prevailing culture there, much to my dismay. Ok just kidding but my jokes triggered some people and I got hellbanned. Where I come from, people are much more chill and love to share good sarcastic jokes.
Mostly entertainment, but occasionally significant tech announcements or scuttlebutt.

Unfortunately, the moderation is mostly unhelpful, I read the raw "new" stream for the good stuff, even though it's noisy.
I really like our Brex experience so far.

Being able to see who in the company made a charge and set limits per user is great. BofA did not have this functionality when I asked our banker ~6mo ago (for debit cards). Getting a virtual card right when you sign up was a great UX.

I’d love a mobile app though.
You can still find Windows 3.11 in some places. Longevity is not necessarily linked to quality
One thing you can do is if you plan to buy on amazon, you can input the order and then before you pay, send a copy of the order to the actual company and ask if they can give a discount if you place the order directly through the company. Most will do the deal outside of amazon because they save money on the amazon fees.
iPhone X or Xs is no good and a UX step backwards...

Last time I looked all the SM motherboards could be ordered sans BMN (saves $50 or so). Parts with -F have the BMC. So you'd think Apple, Amazon et al would order the BMC-less SKU.
For anyone thinking about a setup like this: skip offlineimap and use mbsync instead. It's much faster, and syncing (rather than indexing) mail is the main speed bottleneck to reading email in emacs.
Unfortunately the current development state of Inferno is partially in Limbo (pun intended). This is why plan 9 users like myself tend not to mention it. The code is maintained by Vita Nova and available as open source but sees little if any development. There have been various ports but nothing is maintained. There is no stable bare metal image for i386 or Arm boards like RPi. It also doesn't build on 64 bit platforms, you need a 32bit chroot to build and 32 bit libs to run. It also fails to build on OpenBSD due to rthreads. I'd love to work on it but simply don't have the time. As for now, 9front boots and runs on modern hardware. I have a CPU server running an a low power Celeron J1900 board. However, I do have Inferno running hosted on my Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately it's quite unstable and crashes frequently.
I wonder why there are so many Microsoft branded Apple Stores then?...
It doesn't limit anything.

All right to repair means is that everyone has a legal right to repair something, and apple can't sue you for getting around their restrictions using copywrite or whatever.

I don't think apple should be allowed to sue people for fixing things.

I'm "the excel guy" for a lab of about 100 people, and it is indeed a challenge sometimes. Mostly I just yell at them and tell them to stop using excel sheets as makeshift databases. Then I yell at them some more and make them switch from formulas (which, being written in reverse Polish, are terrible to debug) over to macros. Then I yell at them for recording macros instead of writing them themselves. Then I just do it for them. It's not a ton of fun, but the money is good and the yelling is cathartic.
That’s not crazy. That assumes SpaceX will be successful enough to be an interplanetary railway beteeen planets and there will be multiple civilizations.

The creators of Go are Rob Pike and Google. I think they would know if a different GC were better and use it.

I used to sometimes doubt Rob Pike too and think Go had made some mistakes. After using Go and listening to his talks (like [0]) I realized how wrong I was.
There's a reason he has helped build two wildly successful programming languages.. How many have you built? Are you smarter than Google?

In the end, embracing Rob Pike's brilliant decisions and taste has made my programming life so much simpler and better. I switched to Acme [1], turned off syntax highlighting on Gitub PR reviews with a userscript[2], and my life is infinitely simpler. Rob Pike has been right on so many things and has made Go successful. I'm sure if a generational GC were better for Go, he would have built and used it, so you're obviously wrong.

Even for people who have considerable talent/experience there is often a peak window of opportunity for leaving and if you miss it then it can become a lot more difficult afterward. Putting yourself out into the job market is difficult, and risky. A lot of people work paycheck to paycheck so any disruption to that whatsoever is a risk. Working crunch constantly also burns you out, depriving you of time, energy, and motivation to seek other jobs. You can also get stuck in trying to rationalize your situation. It's super easy to think "this isn't so bad" because you get to work in an office instead of out digging ditches or whatever, because you get to work on "cool stuff you love", because you get to spend all day working alongside a bunch of "cool/fun people" and friends, and so on. And you may not notice the exact point at which each of your justifications top being true, there may be no one glaring tipping point that pushes you to look elsewhere for work.

I'm not going to disagree. But perhaps it's a chicken v egg situation? That is, people would be wiser about who / what they listened to __if__ they were more aware of context. What is at play is confirmation bias gone wild. Start with a false / flawed idea and there are plenty of ways to reinforce that.
yes, but before the ML step the old approaches relied on expert-crafted features. The breakthroughs in those fields via deep-learning is because people found architectures (CNN/RNNs) that could learn those features much, much, much more efficiently than they could be hand-crafted.
And again same thing about HotSpot that you repeat third time in last week-two weeks?

Java has new GC which is non-generational and is focused on low latency like Go GC is. It's called ZGC.

Whom said anything about on-prem? on-prem anything takes weeks and has nothing to do with kubernetes.
AWS, production ready.
I could probably do google too, but it would take a couple weeks to write the automation first.
Also, if your on-prem system is already well organized, the kubernetes portion can also be done 1-2 days. If it takes you weeks to attach storage, load balancers, and configure your firewalls, none of that has anything to do with a production ready kubernetes cluster.

The article you linked is primarily a disproof of your claim.

It cites some hearsay speculation that Warrant Canaries are illegal, and cites several court cases that say Warrant Canaries are protected and compelled lies are illegal:
"West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette and Wooley v. Maynard rule the Free Speech Clause prohibits compelling someone to speak against one's wishes; this can easily be extended to prevent someone from being compelled to lie."
The studies of high iq and correlation to mental illness all seem to be pretty bad (like, "let's survey a bunch of mensa members"), whereas the studies of correlation of childhood IQ and later mental illness are generally better studies. One of the better examples is https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/lower-child...

The better studies of high IQ and mental illness seems to only show a slightly higher occurrence of bipolar disorders.

I think it was between the French revolution and the defeat of Napoleon. But my memory isn't clear enough to give exact dates.

Both cases it's sailing ships and horses. Some of the limitation is probably human endurance. The pony express used relays of fit young men and teams of horses and I think the longest distance traveled by a rider was 130 miles.

This says confusingly 120, 190 and 380 miles.

Are you referring to the original Xbox? Modchips hit the scene for that in ~ 2 years after release. It's not exactly what I would consider a basis for secure computing. Or maybe you are just referencing the procedures "main memory was encrypted by the on-CPU controller. Obviously, no open JTAGs" should be ratified to create a basis for secure computing, a checklist of things to do/prevent before considering a device "Secure".
Apple cannot do anything bad to China or their manufacturing stops.

Apple would have to move tens of thousands of highly specific CNC machines from China to somewhere else, set them up, and get their line moving again.

This is why I find the idea that Apple phones are "secure" to laughable on its face. China could kill years of Apple revenue if they ever did something truly offensive to the ruling party.

Apple would roll over post haste if China demanded it.
Aren't they required to do so in the context of a NSL?

Throughput is going to be affected by anything that can bottleneck your application. Even if response time is the same, if you reduce the time spent cleaning up between responses and requests then you can handle a higher number of requests with the same number of workers. If you reduce the amount of memory being allocated you'd also be able to run more workers on the same hardware, also increasing throughput. And as you're implying, reducing time spent making responses would also allow you to increase throughput too.
