Check out Nick Lane's videos on his theory of life origins on earth. Fascinating stuff.
To summarize, the author started with brushing up on network programming and ended with submitting patches to OpenBSD. Cool.
For a more mature implementation of this concept, I would highly recommend having a look at Kore: https://kore.io

It has a sane architecture, and is fully privilege separated by default, with private keys isolated in a separate process. I've been using it lately to write REST APIs in C, and the experience has been awesome, it has great APIs to parse requests and easily construct responses.
There is a reports already that currently flagships are the last ones:

Most of the jobs I saw were in the 120-190 range. you don't start hitting 220+ unless you're already on the tech pump-n-dump wagon i.e. have "internet-scale" experience.

And with the rent and cost of living so high, 165 is basically the poverty line. If you want to actually enjoy some of your money before you die from the politics.

tops out at 300-400k unless your management. and thats usually phd-grade stuff (cutting edge).

minus "acquisitions" (employees that came over from acquisitions for talent).

blockbusting using h1b's and hiring fresh grads keeps the real rates low. thats why theres so much of an emphasis on constant meetings and mentoring. you train your lower paid replacement.

its even worse when you consider the level of automation being dev'd and deployed even as we speak. Call it what you will, but coding yourself out of a job, does not strike me as a very rewarding job.

Same thing with "frameworks". Count how many horror stories you hear about a company bringing on x-tech, to implement, only to realize there's serious design flaws in the stack they've chosen. I think the best company I saw, did all their development, in-house (for the money-making stuff). C/C++ coders. And they only bring in "mature" technologies (10+ years) -- where the tradeoffs and fixes, are pretty much well known. SANE.

I was not much impressed by the quality of engineers out there. Theirs way too much "compartmentalization". Even worse now with the microservices (circa 2015-2017) implementations that failed to grasp basic architectural decisions that still need to be made.

If anyone's hiring for those 300+ k jobs, drop me a line.

I only have one requirement. Get the fuck out of my way.

M.O.V.E. :)

One other note: When you're applying, don't do the end of the year (normal cycle for a normal co; they know how much they made, what their next quarter's budget is going to be, prospects are closer etc). H1'bs are all busy getting imported. Wait until they run out of their H1B's and give a month or two to clock their new wage-slaves through their "onboarding". The experienced engineers will get a good sense of what material they're working with and call out for more labor ;)

Retarded, but hey, "silicon valley".
Let's try to rescue this statement. Airdrop is useful in general, but there are still large pockets of people for whom it's useless. Large, like don't know, Europe.

Airdrop is the kind of tool that follows Metcalfe's law (with "network" being "people who can Airdrop to each other"). In places where Android is the dominant market player, you'll have little luck trying to use Airdrop to exchange data with other people. This is not dissing Airdrop, just calling out that there's a huge market segment that still has this problem.
I'm very sorry for your and your family's loss.

In the information age, there are so many irresponsible and incomplete bits supporting this, that or the other in as many superlatives as possible. What can a person do? I thought that VBAC was more dangerous for the mother than the newborn, for a healthy young woman, coupled with even a tiny amount of pressure this could easily lead people to make a decision they were not really comfortable with. The "sheer force of opinion surrounding ... childbirth in general" is astonishing; I agree with you here. The information age is badly curated and gives far too much weight to the inexpert opinion, imh (and non-expert) o. Mothers must give birth naturally, mothers must nurse their infants for x months, fathers must cut the umbilical cord.

All the modern medicine in the world coupled with the power of the information age can't make these decisions for us. Maybe, in the future, machine learning methods can pull relevant information out for people to counter some of the cultural pressures.

No...?
If it's any consolation, forums full of theoretical physicists can have discussions on topics like law, economics, or computer programming, and those tend to fill up with shocking displays of ignorance. Of course, one can find that in discussions touching on law and economics here too. :-)

ETA: you also get experts in one subdiscipline getting another subdiscipline terribly wrong, analogous to experts in programming language design making crazy statements about wide area networking.

The image to me looks like mold growth, which made me think about whether or not there are any parallels between human infrastructure growth and bacterial/fungal colony growth.
This. The entire progress of science happened because illuminaries and savants started sharing their discoveries and discussing them in groups. There was an enormous amount of individual work involved as well, of course, which was the main element, but without the networking part to vet and discuss the result science would really not have happened.
But dark matter no longer is particularly simple. At the time of its initial proposal it was little more than unobserved masses, which could have been something as simple as e.g. red dwarves. And so it made sense to reference dark matter as a place holder. But over time as we've discovered things are even more off, dark matter itself has started to morph into our 2000 pound Gaelic speaking deer. Now it comprises the vast majority of all matter in the world, it can't be baryonic, it mustn't interact with anything except itself and gravity, we need to have entire galaxies made of nothing but dark matter, and so forth, and so on. Add now add in the whole slew of experimental failures to detect it, as null hypotheses, and it features ever more exotic conditions as well.

And on the topic of those test failures, every single test we make to detect dark matter, which everything we hypothesize about it indicates we should be able to measure, says it's not there. This should not be a problem except for the fact that we've performed alot of experiments at this point to try to detect dark matter of all sorts, with increasingly high precision. And they've all returned a strong negative. With Bayesian logic it's almost surprising we haven't had a false positive yet, given all the failures.

I really do think the geocentric model has a lot in common here. Prior to Newton's discovery of strong mathematical indicators for gravitational mechanics, heliocentricism had long been proposed. And it was in many ways a much more simple explanation for many phenomena than geocentricism, which over the centuries became ever more convoluted and complex. The 'petal weaving' geocentric astronomic models are enough to boggle the mind even today. But one of the big problems was not even the church, it that there was an immense amount of academic work based around a geocentric model. As but one example astrology, which was considered a scholarly and academic pursuit in the past, was based heavily on the assumptions of a geocentric universe. For instance Mercury starting to 'go backwards' (which was required to glue together a geocentric astronomic view) is still a part of astrological 'theory' today.

Alternatives to dark matter look increasingly more likely with every failure of experiment designed to test it. And these alternatives need substantial refinement, but I think really the biggest issue with them is that if dark matter is not correct it would basically destroy more than a century of astronomical and cosmological work. Nearly everything we know about the cosmos is predicated on the assumption of dark matter. If it turns out dark matter is not the issue, we're looking at setting astronomical and cosmological work in many areas back a century. It would be, by fair, the biggest failure in modern science. So there is reason that alternatives to dark matter are held to a higher standard than dark matter itself, beyond simplicity - which dark matter no longer really is.

They knew through sheer logic that one of these positions was by deduction not tenable.

If you want to accept credit card payments over the internet for your business, no matter which technical solution you choose, you have to tell someone up the chain what your business model is, and they will review if your business model poses a risk to them with regards to fraud and chargebacks. And every single one of these companies in the entire chain, processors, banks, card issuers, gateways, whatever, are incredibly risk-averse, so they would rather deny your business than allow you to have something that kinda maybe is on the illegal/unethical/questionable/weird side. Or if they plain just not like you for no reason or for fuck you reasons. And there's nothing you can do as a business against that, you are at the mercy of others.

I wish Android Beam had been pushed harder - it was an OS-level solution, and I understood it as playing really well with the Intent-centric API on Android, which meant basic functionality was essentially "free" to implement.
How an Amateur Rap Crew Stole Surveillance Tech That Track Almost Every American
> Ideas, not technology, have driven the biggest historical changes.

A Radcliffe outreach symposium about genetics research included a sketch of the history of the field. Someone asked where the dramatic innovation was coming from. It was clear they really wanted an answer of Kuhn-revolution changes in perspective leading to better questions. They were notably unhappy with the answer that, no, it was mostly technological economics. Advancing tech (sequencing, PCR), dropping costs by orders of magnitude, changed the questions we could afford to pursue.

This is probably too much to ask for. I recently fixed an issue caused by UB in openresty of the form "nginx uses a NULL pointer and a length of 0 to signify a null string" + "nginx sometimes searches for strings in other strings using a function that takes start and end pointers for the haystack". This function works fine on lots of 0-length haystack strings (probably returning no match), but as you probably know, NULL + 0 is allowed to evaluate to anything. This seems pretty hard to detect statically short of banning programs that do arithmetic on any pointer without first NULL checking it.
"wait what? making one phone call (5-10 min) is hardly an ordeal, and is better than the cash alternative - losing a couple hundred dollars"

I lived in part of a murder capital that gets 300+ cops per shift according to one guy keeping up. Basic precautions kept my family, friends, and I from losing cash on hand for the time I was there. I mean, you can take as little cash and ID as you need for one trip. A guy who claimed to sell drugs and be street smart taught me to keep about $200 on me since it covered about every situation. He kept the rest of the cash in hidden safe at the house. Even working-class people can usually take a $200 hit (i.e. utility bill) vs losing a whole bank account. Whereas, various banks have done security holds, surprise fees, and screwed with me on credit items many times. A few caused real damage in ways like AnthonyMouse describes.

The worst was Chase not letting me pay off a smaller, high-interest balance until I paid off a large, low-interest balance with the high-interest balance accumulating interest with every payment to other one. Before Obama Administration banned that, I told them I wasn't paying until they let me pay the higher-interest, accumulating account off first. I thought they'd, as rational actors, let me pay my debt and collect interest on other balance to avoid a major loss. They put me in collections, did a charge off, and (thanks to corrupt lawmakers) the full interest was counted by IRS as income as if the interest was loaned to me to use, too. As in, goodbye tax return.

I depend on and trust credit card companies as little as possible these days. I keep paper statements like I did before. I pre-pay and minimize my use of them to credit building like I did when I started. Difference is now I see them as a toxic asset in that they can turn on us at any point. Chase decided to take a loss of about $3,000 in bogus interest and fees when they could've made the $800-1000 I actually borrowed from them that year plus claimed interest. They thought being evil would pay off by the numbers. Instead, they lost $3,000, destroyed my credit that year, and kept doing the same shit. I read similar stories by people using all kinds of services since most for-profit banks pull the same shit in a cartel manner.

Use cash, credit unions with good reviews, and credit cards you don't really depend on for stuff you already have money for. Keeps the risk low. Don't assume anything will be easy even if it was in the past. My previous dealings with Chase, esp on fraud, were great. Later on, they destroyed my credit record to achieve a net loss. (shrugs) That's how such companies think. You might luck out being in an area, segment, or whatever to a company that doesn't try that stuff. Could also make it all look more easy and reliable than disputes really are for folks in another class, area, or company.

Edit: One sentence was incorrect given I changed that practice a bit. Fixed it.

I care about openness a lot.

I also care about performance.

It's too bad AMD doesn't put in the effort NVidia does to make sure computation on their GPUs is as easy to do as it is on NVidias.
I'll offer my experience here. I'm aware this likely isn't representative of the industry, but hopefully another data point can be useful.

I got my current job because of my side projects and codepen portfolio. The team that I came to work with really liked my previous work and we're impressed with my ability. It was great for them to see real projects I'd created and see just how capable I am. While we still had a whiteboard (and other) interview steps, it was the visibility into my work that tipped the scales.

The difference, I think, is that I had a collection of small, targeted side projects. Each project didn't take more than a few weeks so that I could complete the idea and move on to another one that would be fun to work on. I think if I spent a lot longer on each project my portfolio would have been much smaller and thus less impactful (unless of they became widely used apps which none of mine did).
Fair point r.e. low cross section.

Think the main reason neutrons are ruled out as DM because free neutrons decay, they have a
half-life of ~10 minutes. So if DM was neutron, nearly all of it would have decayed into protons, electrons & neutrinos, the former two of which we would definitely be able to see.

Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" is really good, and only has one equation. My mom read it, even.
Is it possible that self replication was ignited at the time of heavy bombardment? It's really strange how origin of Life on Earth is correlated with this time. One possibility might be that our planet was covered with ice at this time while constant bombardment should produce a lot of phase shifts and randomness, contributing to significant recombinations of available molecules in water. It's a kind of top-down approach.

What you say only applies to DNA.

Other types of data sets might not be globally unique, but that's also an irrelevant point if one can't be bucketed to one or more sets. And without pervasive, unregulated tracking, which is the very point of this article, it can't.

You're also too quick to declare winners. This pervasive surveillance is pretty new, society and government move slowly and it seems that our societies are starting to better understand how this new form of exploitation works. TFA is actually a cristal clear expositions of the clear disadvantages of data collection.

We still get people on HN crying "how does this affect me?" as a pro surveillance argument and the article puts that question to rest.
I thought this was about select() with file descriptors, which also needs to be fast. :)
I would think the opposite. If something is easily copied, it means the execution is simple. The value adding part is coming up with the idea that people want.

Genuine question here but why would you want to write REST APIs in C?

I’ve been writing C for 25 years and I wouldn’t trust myself not to do something stupid.
linuxrocks.online is a cool tech-focused instances.
Again, study is pointing out that c section is being performed more than necessary, in fact so much more that it's epidemic. From data WHO calculated that about 20% deliveries should require c section. But numbers are reaching to 45%. Bad Effects in children born with c section are un clear and major surgery has risks for mother as well. Doing a surgery when not necessary is always a bad idea. So if you had a good out come, good for you. But understand you're one data point and can not be reflective of what should be.

I still don't believe that the Qt dlls are 500Mb, I tried to Google around and what I found is someone complaining of the size, in his case a simple Qt GUI app had 14Mb.
If you think 500Mb is the right number maybe you can find a link so I update my knowledge.

I am familiar with this complaint , at a previous workpolace we switched to Adobe AIR because of the installer size (the boss felt better if the customers installed AIR from Adobe and then our 2 Mb installer).
At that time Qt did not had a built in way to create installers, signing them, and autoupdate applications,(not sure it has now) Adobe AIR had such mechanism so this also was a factor on switching to this toolkit then.

So if you think Qt is big what would you use instead?

I thought these sorts of planes would have a safety.

And if the safety is designed in such a way without i.e. interlocks and such that you can fire off guns accidentally by poking around in the wires/connectors, that's a little sad.
You believe this is all about you, when in fact it's about our societies and vulnerable categories of people (mostly the poor, and various religious, political, ethnic, etc minorities).

You're basically declaring at first they came for everybody else than me, but that's okay because I'm still okay!

If the effects of pervasive surveillance are a negative to society it doesn't matter that you're benefitting - your "bargain" will have to cease existing.
Instead of going after the cheaters/cheat makers, maybe they should have better cheat detection and harsher punishments.
One of the under the radar movies I watched lately was Death of Stalin, and true beauty of this dark comedy was the simple fact that none of the actors tried to speak English in a Russian accent and on top of it, there is a mix of British and American accent depending on the actor. This made the movie truly enjoyable and free from pretense.
