>If you believe you can, you can, if you believe you can't, you can't.

As a technical individual contributor, what matters is what you can do, not how you feel.

Edit: Yes, yes, all absolute statements are wrong; Attitude does matter some for technical jobs. But what you can do is overwhelmingly more important than your attitude in tech jobs, just like your attitude is overwhelmingly more important in management and sales.

Yes, at interviews, you must act engaged, and you must display what you can do, and that is kind of sales, but it's really easy mode sales.

Sure, I mean, it depends on job role. In sales? yeah, that attitude is required.

(To be clear, even in sales, that attitude is not sufficient. While it is absolutely necessary to project that sort of confidence, that unshakable self-belief, it is not sufficient. You still need to sell. Attitude is sometimes required; it is never enough.)

More specifically to the person you are responding to? when it comes to individual contributor technical roles? As long as you are engaged and interested in the technical questions? It's cool. Having a ridiculous Tony Robins kind of attitude can actually hurt you there; Most technical people don't want to work with a person who's true calling was sales. When I'm interviewing someone like that, every instinct I have is telling me to get them out of the office. I mean, I do my best to overcome my prejudices, and I will still evaluate them on technical merit, but man, it's not easy.

I think that outside of sales and management (note, that's a big part of running a business) defeatist talk and feeling are kinda normal, and unless they are overwhelming for too long, not really a problem.

This is the difference with technical work. What matters is not how you feel or what you project, but what you can do

While getting out from under my business I was super depressed and engaged in a lot of "negative self-talk" in public. And yeah, it probably hurt me on selling that business (I mean, I think I still got a fair deal for what the business was at the time.) but just because I wrote like I was depressed online, as long as I kept going for interviews (and acting engaged during those interviews) I don't think it hurt my prospects as a technical individual contributor much.

I mean, sales is... a different world from technical work. And yeah, I am going to have to come up with a new attitude if I want to go into management ever again But as a technical individual contributor? Ability is key, not attitude.
He's sarcastically alluding to systemd's approach at solving this.
CSS is the worst.

Git and CSS are the two hardest things anyone will ever try to learn in computers.

To the extent I've had some success with CSS, I've used bootstrap, and went back and did some CSS 101 stuff because none of it is intuitive -- actually learning how they did CSS helps a lot b/c trying to figure it out will never work -- it's all back-asswards at best.

and that's before you get to browser differences.
This is a very naive estimation of what might happen when someone has access to all your running software. Since it is linux, it loads executables into memory and is able to run them even when they are deleted along with runtime dependencies.

Anything that caches anything to anywhere other than disk will be accessible. Your memcache, your redis, some databases, keychains, your non-userdata browser sessions.

Maybe i'm just lazy, but the additional work of cranking it 20 times (and the bloody noise it makes) means I either have standing weeks or sitting weeks.

Sometimes months. But standing months are rare.

I wonder if spraying some lube in the works will help with the noise... Hmmm.
>Fact check, Huawei is the only full 5G solution provider in the world; whereas no such company can be found in the US.

And..... they are also the only full 4G solution provider. None of the other telecom infrastructure companies have client side business. Arguably Samsung do, but that are relatively new. But that doesn't prove anything.

Credit where Credit's due Huawei has made fair amount of contribution towards 5G. But they don't own 5G like what the Chinese Media states, and they are not the number one in total 5G patents either as many Chinese Media likes to put it.
My feeling about CSS is similar to asm/Assembler. It gives you ultimate handles, but it's very much low-level down to pixels. Same about peculiarities of the underlying platforms and browsers.

While I see great uses for asm directly within parts of an application constructed with higher-level languages, yet building a whole system using asm is unnecessary. Compiler does this job.

With CSS from scratch or not, you need to move, store, add, clear, and jump on your own. And let's not think of how many losely coupled variables a real-life web-design presents to deal with. There's no compiler for this, only a debugger (Firebug, etc.) CSS frameworks simplify some aspects of this, but fundamentally it's still low-level.

That's what makes this CSS chase a somewhat futile exercise in a long run. Assembler is at least is more concise to memorize.
Alot of what they suggest seem to be better solved in the domain of compilers and microcode translation on the fly.

I remember being excited about The Machine [1] from HP:

"The Machine will be a complete replacement for current computer system architectures. There will be a new operating system, a new type of memory (memristors), and super-fast buses/peripheral interconnects (photonics)."

"HP says it will commercialize The Machine within a few years, “or fall on its face trying.”"

It seems later happened...

I take it you've worked with some junior engineers that brought neither the social nor the technical skill to their role.

Instead of considering them to be "so bad", an adept senior would work to develop these people. As a senior, use your social acuity, and bring your emotional intelligence to the table. If your juniors feel threatened, talk about it. Assuage their fears -- point out where they are doing well, and where they can improve. Work through the difficult problems, most likely individually, but through team retrospectives too (when appropriate-- never give individual feedback in a group setting).

This sounds like the approach is to avoid juniors as much as possible. And it's challenging to foster a high-performing team environment if that's the mindset one employs going into it.

I don't agree what happened to him based on his "hack" and deem AT&T's (and the legal system's) actions despicable in this manner.

Reporting on his "hacker hero antics" without putting it in context of what a personality he really is is, in my book, whitewashing of history and engaging in revisionism.
Doesn't work for almost everybody. You are under estimating how hard it can be for people from non-STEM areas or even inclination to jump to something like programming. Sure every once in a while some one will, but most can't.

My company routinely runs coding classes and bootcamps to help people from marketing, advertising, accounting, payroll etc to transition to a software career. Mostly women attend. I don't know of one single person who was able to make the shift.

It's hard to do a 40 hour work week(Most have to put in more than that). Then learn something totally obtuse to what you've been doing all life. And most people get into non-STEM professions, because they don't like STEM much. You have to overcome biases, mental inertia and mental training worth decades, this is after your regular work. And there is an endless stack of books and reading resources to get to doing something decent. All the while you have a full time job, commute, family and other commitments. Most of them quit because they know they have to level down a mountain, and it still wont be worth it, because you will never catch up with the main stream ever.

You need to be motivated and need to work beyond belief to break through.

It's not that people are stupid. But it's really like equivalent of a life long couch potato waking up one day and wanting to run the Bad water ultramarathon. There is simply too much of a gap to make up.

> "our sports are not cheap: According to the New York Times, the total cost of running a marathon—arguably the least gear-intensive and costly of all endurance sports—can easily be north of $1,600"

I've run a few marathons, and I think that's nuts. It's only expensive if you want it to be. You don't need $580 worth of new clothes, $235 in intermediate races, a $130 gym membership, $210 worth of massages, $95 in transportation/lodging (if you run a local one), and $165 in celebration food (!!).

Wear clothes you already have (if you're at all athletic to begin with), get a training book from the library, and spend $100 for an entry fee and $100 for a good new pair of shoes or two. There, I just saved you $1500 off your next marathon.
I'm sorry to bring bad news, but there's indeed a benefit, you just don't see it.

And yet China is making a big deal about it, saying they are unfairly treated, No Chinese should ever be extradited. US and Western Nation coming to harm again.

If that is how the act when they are considering themselves the underdog or developing countries, imagine what they will do when they are full evolved.

Note: Of course US and many other countries aren't Sane either. But the tone used by the Chinese have never been so strong. It is as if they were back to Tsing Dynasty.
Interesting comments from those guys.

I taught myself CSS by reading the CSS 1 spec back in the late 90s (mainly aimed at IE 4 - Netscape 4.6 sucked bad) before there were any books on it. I think the CSS 2 spec was also out by then too, but the browsers didn't support it yet (that took a surprising long time).

I found learning CSS 1 from the spec pretty easy as it wasn't a large spec and was fairly easy to read. The CSS 2 spec was a lot larger (5-10 times?), and a lot more complex with all the new stuff. Learning that took some help from the old Eric Meyer book from O'Reilly with the pair of trout (?) on the front.

The Eric Meyer book helped a lot with understanding fundamentals like how flow worked etc and properly grokking inline vs block etc. There wasn't really any of the tooling (eg Firebug and successors) to help back then.

Of course, I wasn't reading the specs to implement a rendering engine - just to use it.

I stopped doing any CSS about 8 yrs ago just as CSS 3 was starting to happen and never really learnt that. It seems way more powerful/complex/useful these days.

One tip that really helped back then was to try and do what you wanted with the very minimum of selectors/declarations to avoid conflicts, ambiguities and debugging difficulty. So creating lots of scratch empty test pages to explore one specific technique before including it with all your other CSS/HTML.
Yes I know estoppel.

But in this case?
One ever right? I wouldn't count that as "frequent" - lots of programs in memory-safe languages have more/worse bugs than qmail.

Of course, the existence of one significant not-too-vulnerable C program doesn't really prove a lot either way...

I maintain a very similar service to your autoplaylist at http://getsongbird.io

However I was not really able to monetize in any form (needs permission from Spotify, and Stripe shut down the account before it got to even do anything). Did you encounter similar issues and if so how did you circumvent them?

I'm at a loss now and on the verge of shutting it down, but I have a few hundred users that periodically email me to ask for fixes / new features, and it pains my heart to just give it up like that, but it's just not making any sense economically for me now.

No, Huawei does not own all the 5G patents/technology; so it must have stolen from other countries?

So when you want something you don't own, the only option is to steal? I find your logic so absurd. Then how much is the US stealing everyday?

I'm surprised that the word "injury" doesn't appear once in this article. Many people I know who do physical work avoid forms of entertainment which could put their livelihood at risk.

Sure, or you could run low-priority tasks that can be dropped when it becomes necessary. This increases utilization without increasing risk.

An example is using water in "wasteful" ways during wet years in order to make sure there is something easy to cut back on during a drought year.

Another example is using flood-prone land for recreation rather than building housing there.

This is about the US. I don't live there, I do think that and while it is super bad everywhere on earth I think we can agree the US is pulling the cart in terms of terrible. Frankly you I think the argument that "this is just how it'll be" is not one that is terribly convincing on it's own.

Yes, it'll go wrong. It'll also go right. I don't think we need to structure our society like a prison just because it has the capacity to be worse than we like it to be.

Although others have mentioned state machines I wonder if it’s a deliberate feature with an unforeseen side effect.

The Apple Watch walkie talkie feature allows you to talk with anyone who has approved you and has walkie talkie switched on.

But it appears to use FaceTime under the hood as when it was launched it failed if FaceTime was switched off on your phone.

So the “auto answer” mechanism is already in there, just getting triggered at the wrong time?
I remember an article somewhere about these kinds of bugs. A lot of medical hardware/software combos are/can be compromised. And here comes the problem: do you disclose the vulnerabilities since it means potentially killing people? How long do you wait before manufacturers acknowledge and fix the problem (and they often don't)?

So yeah, these types of vulnerabilities are very very scary.
