Assuming that you want to move into embedded.

Focus on C and follow up with an understanding of the underlying assembler code. Haven't played with Rust for about 1 year, so I don't how how mature it is these days.

Also have an idea of how to debug the code. Debugging on embedded is very different to debugging a web/js app.

In a weird way, this might be EU's strategy to finally deal significant damage to Google and Facebook, as this law will encourage development of alternatives on decentralized peer-to-peer technologies. However, I'm not sure if EU politicians are that smart...
Your view is so naive that I won't even try to argue against it. Your argument only works if cameras weren't set up as traps.

Tricky speed cameras make people drive like robots. Some people even drive 20 below the speed limit "just because there could be a camera lurking." This problem isn't easily solved by "just sticking to the speed limit" because many cameras are set up such that they catch you when it isn't natural to drive at exact speed limit (For example shortly before a town ends, or driving up a steep hill etc.).
This is why we need Esperanto.
to see if it was a viable business and they could make the numbers work (they couldn't), to show the board and investors they were staying on top of the latest trends in "micro mobility", and to acquire the software dev and startup strategy talent which it can now put towards other efforts such as self-driving or other ride hailing efforts
Yep, this is what eventually leads to back-to-the-nature movements (barefoot running, free climbing, expeditions without oxygen masks, etc.).
I would love to be cut off from Facebook. Please do it now.
Same could be said about operating systems, yet we have Linux.
The username policy is quite simple. A username:

1. Must represent a single person, not a company, organization, website, band, partnership, or other group of people

2. Must not be deceptive or impersonate someone else

3. Must not be unreasonably long

4. Must not be inflammatory or imply that you intend to troll

If you create an account that doesn't meet this policy, an administrator will prevent you from editing until you choose a new username, and you can continue afterward.

You're absolutely right in that Wikipedia needs to improve its user experience to ensure that new editors know what the rules are before they accidentally violate them.
they double down.

Examples?
I trust the claims because Googles business depends so heavily on PR. If Google leaks everyone's browsing history, they as a company will cease to exist.

Notice how there are lots of people claiming 'Google collects XYZ info', but no claims of 'Google zipped up XYZ info and sold it'. Every article about Google selling user data is in reality Google using the user data for it's advertising business, but explicitly not letting the partners see the data - as well as being legally protected private data, that data is also a competitive advantage they would lose if they handed it over.

Less public facing companies on the other hand I don't trust, because they don't have much to loose on the PR front. That miscellaneous credit card processor? Yeah - they'll probably be handing your data over to every credit check/profiling agency.
The truth of exercise is that the same stuff that worked 10'000 years ago still works. There isn't really a need for innovation in the world of fitness, but people like variety, or the promise of shortcuts, or the scene attached to a style of fitness, etc. (There is gradual improvement in technique and programming, but this isn't the kind of fitness fad the article is about.)
It's everywhere though not just hobbies. Whether it's what clothes you wear, what phone you have, what car you drive. (Most) people want to have better stuff than those around them. "Beat the Joneses" etc.

Consumerism is a drug, and it's incredibly addictive. It took me a long long time to stop caring about having the best stuff. New phone every year, new laptop every 2. As fancy a car as I could afford, high end fishing gear, etc.

Thankfully, having kids let me "grow up" a lot in a very short timeframe, and I now have a 15yr old car, 4yr old phone, and generally just cheap but functional stuff around me, but it's still hard to shake that urge.
Thanks. You said

> In the army this idea about bosses is and large organizations is mostly (not completely though) upside down. In the military this can really work for you if you are engaged and your primary leader isn't a criminal.

Does that means that in the military people lower in the ranks are much more self-motivated and self-directed?

Methinks you are probably overcomplicating things at Azlo. Open the account with your org that was created via Atlas at Azlo, stripe should have nothing to do with that. Inform stripe this is the new bank account.

You have the controlling interest in the org that was created via Stripe Atlas don't you?
I have a software product. People resell it on marketplaces. They make €30~50,000 per year from doing this. When I contact the marketplaces they hide behind safe harbour - yes, they suspend the user account but the same user will register the next day under a different name and keep the same practice. The responsibility of the content published should be shifted from the author to the platform so abuse like this is not repeated.
I don't think it's just "new things", in my experience corporates go out of their way to stop you building anything. Compared to working for yourself it's like wading through treacle trying to get anything done. The only time I found it easier was when I was consulting but even then it was hard.

You certainly will learn more about the politics in a large company but from an engineering perspective you tend to get pigeon holed. You will learn a lot about a very narrow area. Working in a small company gives you a much broader experience, both of the technology and business. I remember a famous poster from this community describing a purchase order as an exotic method of payment. Nobody who has worked for a scrappy startup would think that.

Ultimately though it comes down to horses for courses. You clearly thrive in a big company environment, I definitely don't.
Same in Switzerland. I honestly believe a true speed limit enforcement system would not be based on money, but rather points and after a certain amount of points you would not be allowed to drive for a month or something.
Halo 3 was the sweet spot for me. A little bit more complexity and added equipment, but still obvious enough that you knew immediately what it did.
I went through an almost identical process with English Wikipedia many years ago. Added to a sorely incomplete entry with carefully written and sourced info, to find it gone a few days later. Tried a few tiny updates in case new users were restricted somehow (this was never made obvious), so simply corrected some obvious grammar and spelling mistakes. Nearly all of those were backed out too. At which point there's only one option, give up.

I've encountered torrent sites that make more effort to make newcomers feel welcome.

Never tried again, and won't, despite running across much that's inaccurate, plain wrong or has poor language over the years.
Applied innovation is risky requires investments into new devices, training, new logistic chains etc.

>Hall and Woodward (2010) provide a different perspective. Using an extensive data set on venture capital funding from 1987 until 2008, they show that the returns to entrepreneurs are extremely skewed: nearly 3/4ths of entrepreneurs receive nothing at
exit, while a few receive more than a billion dollars. An entrepreneur with a coefficient
of relative risk aversion of two values this lottery with a certainty equivalent of only
slightly more than zero. An implication is that the tax rate that applies to the successful
outcome can have a substantial influence on entrepreneurial
activity.

I find it hard to see how taxation does not disincentivize applied innovation in the margin.

My experience is that a lot of the US is like this. The banking system, for example, is terrible. Broadly speaking, it seems to me that in the US existing institutions don't really improve. Instead they are replaced by newcomers.
On their own these might all be simple and reasonable, where the problems start is when entrenched people try to "weaponize" these rules for the purpose of waging drama wars to keep any newcomers from becoming relevant in the community, at that point it becomes an issue of personal interpretation which usually isn't all that objective.
Ok so he's a guy with insatiable drive, a hunger for success, a need to be the best- aw, hell, tax rates are a bit too high, why not throw in the towel?

It is a very notable file format used by many devices and lots of software can read it. The only reason its hard to reference is because the company that develops it basically just publishes a C file with how to use it and everyone uses that to write their own implementations.
I find that the admin side of Mediawiki is downright painful. Installing plugins requires mucking around in a config file on the server (it’s just another PHP app), and any errors in that file lead to a blank white page, rather than a useful error message.

I also found scaling MW harder than Confluence, as unintuitive as that sounds. Same goes for troubleshooting speed problems.
Well, yes and no. It's certainly better than some places, but it's clearly very vulnerable to disinformation campaigns, and the government's unwillingness to put this to a vote is causing chaos. It appears a small group has used the situation to take control of the future of the country and steer it into a direction nobody wants, and is now denying the people a vote on the mess they're making.
Sadly, that Prinker tattoo printer is probably a fake product.
This looks more like what an Application programmer needs to know. A system programmer writes these api like epoll.
Low-level software often moves quite slowly and backwards compatibility is important. Embedded systems have to be maintained for decades. So knowing how do handle legacy code, proper dependency management, release management, and requirement management is quite important. Similarly the cost of bugs is usually quite high, because updates are hard. So writing testable code, testing and other QA activities are more important.
You're talking about unreal engine 4 i believe. The parent is probably talking about the previous engines. They were very expensive
For me, it's not so much that they kill the studio, but that they kill the IPs as well. It's one thing for an IP to just die off, but to see C&C stumble along in various forms, then get turned into a mobile game, is disheartening.

With Britain leaving the EU there is sadly a lot less reason for English to be the official language.
We already have a common language that's widely known across Europe (English), it just doesn't have the reach that the native language does.

Some countries are also really self centered in terms of news, etc. Here in Spain, for example, most national news deal mostly with corruption scandals, political issues in Catalonia, sports, and little else. Geopolitical and/or European issues are given surprisingly little time considering we're the fifth largest economy in the union (about to be the fourth after/if the UK leaves).
There is a big difference between management and leadership. Regardless of the size of the team there will be managers. There will be a structure. whether it is a team of two or megacorp, what consistently lacks is genuine leadership.
OK. So I'd like to help make some noise surrounding this issue. Who should I email for best impact?
1. Learn basic C and C++ programming, which is always a good starting point for other higher and lower level programming languages

2. Learn about data structures and memory handling (pointers) https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/data-structures/

3. Try to understand how an OS works (e.g. linux) https://github.com/tuhdo/os01

4. Buy an Arduino or alternative with some I/O. https://www.arduino.cc/

The barriers only seem low to those people who've already passed them.

But I remember teenage me, over 20 years ago, being very reserved about writing online because I considered my grammar too bad and I didn't want to embarrass myself.

And back then there wasn't even anything social media, where blunders like that could lead straight back to "real" me, the whole idea still made me anxious.

Can't even begin to imagine how teenagers these days must feel with social media being literally everywhere and recording pretty much everything they write for the foreseeable future.

At least nowadays they have access to some pretty good grammar correction tools ;)
I don’t like the idea of my data being harvested and passed around the internet. And somebody selling my location data seems super creepy. But what exactly is this data used for? Targeted advertising? Is that it?
I read the 2004 book In Praise of Slow (a surprisingly prescient book, to be honest) last year and Honoré talked about the speed limit. I don't know what it was, but something in it clicked for me and I have been actively trying to make sure I don't speed. Sure, there are times I still do, particularly if running late and on a parkway, but in general I've become a much safer driver (which is saying something).

It's been nice, to be honest. I've noticed it bleed into other thigs in my life and I'm no longer worried about the 'go go go' mentality of modern life as much. But we have a cultural issue surrounding speeding. I've mentioned it in passing and the number of people who've basically mocked me for it is too high. Sure, they're joking, but it's an issue we need to fix on a societal level... Thankfully, I think the automatic enforcement in cars will do that. Hopefully it comes sooner, as I've seen nothing but benefits from trying to stay the speed limit - and it doesn't even slow me down that much since I'm not driving long distances (>100 miles) at a time. Less than 5 minutes usually.

The prevailing opinion is that one does not simply develop proficiency in C++ in a year.
I agree with your statement.
It also adds a lot of bulk, with little substance if everyone chimes in with their own version of a post they agree with.
Yes I was considering only Amazon the online store and its value compared to having multiple other/smaller stores - both physical and online.
The popularity of modern streaming services combined with the shortage of IP addresses and subsequent spread of carrier-grade NAT will make it a bit difficult for regular P2P networks to make a come-back. I can, however, imagine this will have result in a small boost for self-hosted content.

I can imagine someone writing a TOR-based eMule client or something along those lines but it won't be anywhere near as common as it was back in the days; ease of use has always been an important factor and today we actually do have commercial alternatives in place this time.

As I see it, the main impact will be for social networks and other sites that allow user uploads. There's an actual chance the people behind the law simply don't understand that what they're asking isn't possible, and that many politicians think we just need to solve this with blockchains and machine learning (because that's apparently how to fix everything nowadays). In the real world, however, I really see no way to comply with that law without mass-monitoring and very far-reaching automatic censorship of uploaded content.

JIT languages already do this.
The cynic in me would say obedient rather than self-motivated.

The real issue with self-modifying code is that it's basically a security bug waiting to happen, plus you have other complications like having to flush the instruction cache on architectures like ARM. Generally, the benefits are not worth it unless except for very specific cases.
Please stop with this fiction. I bet you never had to learn English as a second language. It's very hard.

TLDR: In an optimistic estimate, to stop 300 illegitimate copyright infringing posting, we would have to block 150.000 non-infringing posts.

Whoever suggests this as a policy, must have received serious payoffs to close their eyes for the overwhelmingly negative effects this law will have.
Surely the case for English as a working language is now stronger. Previously it could have been seen as unfair to use one member state's language over another...
Aside from 1 and 2, I would also add that your counsel needs to be a person who you actually get on and "click" with.

In the beginning years of my entrepreneurial life, I had a lawyer who was up high in his tower and hard to communicate with. His work was fine but he just wasn't my type of person. He was hard to work with and my interactions with him exhausted me.

A few years later due to a contract dispute I switched to a different lawyer (from a high end expensive firm, i.e. the Cooley example) and working with him has been awesome. In part because we get on really well and we're on the same wavelength. That and his work also is much better than the previous lawyer I had.
Linux Device Drivers 3rd Edition is a bit dated but is still a wonderful introduction to systems programming in C. It's for Linux, but it presents information that is useful when working with any system.

Low-level systems programming is hard and can be a bit boring at times. I agree that debugging is very different from debugging on higher level systems. Most of the time an oscilloscope or an LED is the best debugging tool. Also, in well written low level code you tend to have more code making sure that everything is okay than you have actually doing stuff, which can be tedious. It takes a certain kind of personality to enjoy it.

JIT languages don't use self-modifying code, they generate new code at runtime and execute that.
I find it's mostly that posting a comment is very different from entering into discussion. There is a surprising amount of friction attached to entering into a discussion on the web, compared to just lobbing a comment onto a page (like I'm doing right now). Throw in point scoring to comments, and you've created a system that just doesn't appeal to the majority of people.

You get publicly scored on your contributions to the discussion. Most people are turned off by the idea of discussions being adversarial, point scoring, confrontational.

And in that respect, I consider the barriers to comment contribution to be very high indeed.
