There is a theory that says people will be inoculated against fake news, if only they're exposed to enough of it. That critical thinking skills, like immune systems and website security, are made strong by unrelenting attacks.

After all, it's unlikely we'll ever see a day where everyone agrees on everything so completely that no two humans disagree about anything! And as long as that's the case, we'd better know how to deal with people telling us things that are wrong.

The theory goes that seeing social media messages with obvious lies like "Put nails in your tyres for better winter traction" and "Shoot yourself with small calibre bullets to build an immunity to larger bullets" teaches people scepticism and rational thought they can apply to much more complex statements like "inflation is caused by the fed printing money" and "the highest crime areas are those with a lot of immigrants"

Does it work? Have we seen it working hitherto? You be the judge!
It's easier to get a visa when you move from the richest country in the world to teach English in Asia. To get a more "skilled" job (teaching English basically requires any degree and a white face) usually requires a bit more process.

I have a very similar experience with bépo (french dvorak-like layout).
Nine times out of ten, we developers aren't in a position to make or change business decisions of that magnitude.

Remember, every time you tell your boss to do something they don't want to do, you're telling them to spend money they don't want to spend, and if it's something you were hired to do, you're also placing your own value as an employee in question.

But in practice, anything other than "Hillary Clinton is completely healthy" and "Trump is a Russian puppet" is categorized as fake news.

The truth can be benefitial though. So "the drive" for spreading information doesn't necessarily means the information is wrong.
You don't have to humor every opinion, nor rebut them, and it's quite okay to tell people that you don't care about their opinions at all. They can go seethe and sulk somewhere else.

It's also okay to publicly laugh at people who demand the world revolve around them, or insist that you can't wear a certain hat or eat a certain food or travel to a certain place for fun.

Be a little less afraid of opinions.

edit: and maybe a little more vicious in your own defense, lest this all get worse.
It's not drama that people love, it's a group identity based on perceived injustice, gives one like a thrill of self righteousness. If it was drama, it wouldn't be all about the identity politics we'd be reading some gossip mag to find out who is sleeping with whose ex.
There's also a middle ground: put the stuff you don't need on a daily basis AND you expect to not miss if it disappeared into storage. You can even use a LRU scheme, where you have boxes labeled by year of last use.

I was in the exact same position. Growing up and playing online games, spending most of my time with people that were obnoxious douches - cause who cares its the internet (and they were older), shaped me to be an obnoxious douche too. 18 to 20 it was all time low for me. Apart from being very obese, I just didn't care about anyone I'd meet in real life. I'd put up a wall and anytime I'd meet someone I would feel like they don't like me etc.

Difference between you and me is that I worked heavily on it. I understood that I need to be more open to conversations and more kind. Also that not everyone speaks the online gaming culture language I do, people would not laugh at my brutal jokes cause not everyone plays games out there or has been subjected to trolling etc, and not everyone would diminish things so easily as I and other gamers would do. I lost all the extra weight and anytime the obnoxious douche would try to come out and be weird or mean to people I'd say no to him. If it did happen and I was a douche to someone, which can happen even today after many years I'd own up to it and be sorry and ask for forgiveness.

Nothing in this life is a given and yes some people like me and you have to put extra work in order to make things happen. Its totally doable though.

I'd also suggest you to find a therapist that you like and can trust and get some help on it.

Hope that helps you on your quest.

I'm with you, but I'd probably switch entertaining for 'depressing'.

It's about 90% of the reason I've (largely) stopped using Facebook. Every time I looked at my feed I was being shown some kind of 'drama'. Or if not drama, then a post that poked my own personal beehive so much I'd have the overwhelming urge to step in and say "hang on, what?!" But of course stepping in only perpetuates the drama cycle I hate and I'd end up embroiled in something I didn't want to be a part of, and unhappier for it.

For my own sanity, not scrolling the feed, and only checking in to Facebook for the notifications once every few days seems to have helped immeasurably. And as sad as it is to admit, the FOMO dissipated pretty quickly.

I love the Internet, but the some of the 'social' aspects of it have seemed really ugly for the last few years.

When I was a jr developer I worked on small tasks. Fix some random bug here, update documentation etc. but it gave me insight to how the company did stuff and also let me prove that I can make contributions without breaking stuff. Later people started asking my opinion on stuff because I had been working so closely with the code base. Eventually I was promoted to sr and I began directing the workflow of jr devs, deciding on projects etc. And now as an architect I work directly with business stakeholders to identify issues and design solutions. I work with the sr developers and they do the bulk of the more advanced work, where the jrs work on smaller pieces that I used to do. We have a pretty good system and there are clear differences in our roles and skill sets.

There is a very recent development in this area -- there is now a way to do it without ptrace and instead entirely using seccomp[1]. It's somewhat more complicated (then again, ptrace is far from simple to get right) but gives you the benefit that you don't need to use ptrace (which means that debuggers and upstart will work).

It's going to see a lot of use in container runtimes like LXC for faking mounts and kernel module loading (and in tools like remainroot for rootless containers), but it will likely also replace lots of uses of LD_PRELOAD.

I actually prefer this. It's much better than shops that activity try to hide shipping costs until the last moment. Also it makes comparing prices quicker.
It becomes a little more interesting when taking into consideration the option of renting. Photography equipment is very widely available for rental, and if you use it for say fewer than 30 days a year, it may work out cheaper to rent, with the advantage of always being able to use the newest / most appropriate equipment.

A good compromise is renting lenses a few times before buying, a sensible means to avoid "lens lust" leading to buying lenses that rarely get used.
My mother always said "50% off what?" Obviously when the merchant sets the nominal "retail" price to whatever they want, they can set the discount to whatever they want too and maintain their profit margin. This is basic algebra solving for one variable given a desired "discount". It's amazing how effective it is though.

- Test low memory environment

- Add memory tracking

- Ignore double frees (fix broken programs)

- Cache allocations / lookaside lists

- Trace all file operations

- Seamlessly open compressed files with fopen()

- Speed up time() as program sees it

- Offset time() to bypass evaluation periods

- Alternative PRNG

- Intercept/reroute network sockets

- Trace various API calls (useful when debugging graphics APIs)

- Force parameters to some API calls

- Set a custom resolution not supported by program

- Switch between HW and SW cursor rendering

- Framelimiting and FPS reporting

- Replace a library with a different one through a compat layer

- Frame buffer postprocessing (e.g. reshade.me)

- Overlays (e.g. steam)

You realize that the Global Warming Policy Foundation is a climate change skeptic organization, correct? They're entirely founded upon climate change denial.

So what exactly kind of bullshit were you trying to pull by implying that they were an authority on climate change? Either you were ignorant of the GWPF or you were deliberately misconstruing them in attempt to gaslight.
Except that in cases like this, the people objecting aren't just "voicing an opinion", they're what amount to keen amateur oppo research/reputation and business destruction operatives.

Fortunately some of this (bloating the price just before a sale to cover the cost, note: e.g. day before) is illegal where I live. Though it doesn't stop shops from trying. It does give the customer some extra power. If for instance the shop fails to sell all stock and dumps it afterwards you can try to claim the difference as this falls under deceptive practices.

The buy one get two variant is fine as long as there is actual profit to the customer and no shady 'you still pay the same but it looks different' offers.

It is not much weaker, but more pragmatic. A typical application has this need to represent a "missing" value quite often and adding a special `?`-based syntax for it totally pays of in practice.

However, it is important to not that `String?` in Kotlin is not a syntactic sugar for `Option<String>`, but a syntactic sugar for `String|null`. The difference between the two might seem minor, but is quite big pragmatically, especially when combined with flow-sensitive typing.

But do you have the measure of British MPs?

Right now there is this thing called Brexit. There is the 'no-deal', Theresa May 'deal' and 'remain' to consider. However, the truth is that democracy really was subverted by outside interests that funded the Brexiteers. None of that was legitimate spending, it went against the rules.

The Brexit debate should not be about 'leave' or 'remain' when there is this matter of whether democracy can be bought. There is a corruption scandal and addressing that should matter regardless of whether you hate or love Brussels. But none of the British MPs care about this fundamental issue, they are playing politics, stuck with their respective party lines to tow. They have had plenty of time to cotton on to what has gone on and they have not.

There may be some 'great work' done by back bench committees in Parliament, however, I would not mock anyone that has suspicions regarding the state of British politics in this era. The MPs know that the internet poses a threat to them because concerned citizens can express views online that are outside the narrow frame that is permitted within the political establishment.

I certainly agree that sitting in a room full of books you haven't read feels so great because of how humbling it is.

I was once in the house of a very wealthy family (as a waiter), and their library was just so perfect it almost evoked a feeling of the sublime. I made detours on the way to the guests just to pass through the space.

A recent move has me scared off accumulating though. It seems you pay for a book once, and then pay for it again in time, money, and effort every few times you move house.

I think this not so true. The author might be doing micro services the wrong way. You generally break down micro services such that they are loosely coupled and have a good defined API/contract. As long as you don't break the API you don't have to restart everything. That is not to say you never break that API. The idea of a micro service is they should be independently verifiable(test) to a good extent.
I tried Dvorak last year and the theory was great but it was a right pain in the ass for programming and using programs keyboard shortcuts in general.

Do we need a trust system of some kind? Maybe journalists should be held accountable in the same way that doctors, structural engineers, architects etc. An article should be cryptographically signed by the journalist. If a journalist publishes incorrect information, report it to their professional body. Factual inaccuracies should be corrected in the reported article or the journalist should withdraw their certificate from it. Several egregious uncorrected factual innacuracies, as judged by a jury of their peers and lay people, causes a journalist to be struck off and their certificate revoked forever lableing everything they have written as questionable. Protect the word ‘News’ in law so that you can’t use it without having certified journalists writing the copy. People can still publish and read anything they want just like you are free to go to a homeopath if you want, but there would be a trust structure in place.

That's true. But every time you buy two mugs you subsidize the shipping for people buying just one. There are better ways to solve the "hidden shipping costs" issue than tack the price to every item.
This depends on your VPN service provider, not the WireGuard software - the software itself simply tunnels your traffic to the VPN provider, who then route it out to the internet. It doesn't matter if you use IPsec, OpenVPN, PPP, L2TP or WireGuard to send your traffic to your provider if their address has been blacklisted.

What WireGuard does get you is a much simpler configuration format for VPNs (IPsec is notoriously overcomplicated) and a modern set of cryptography choices (most other VPN techologies are old and come with legacy baggage, or strange TLS-like connection setup that then becomes its own thing like OpenVPN).
2015: "Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad"

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/06/us-military-...

Additionally, I must admit haven't thought much about the actual status of the "territories" before.
I quite enjoy mentally parsing these "offers" in logically equivalent ways. E.g., "buy one get one free" as "only sold in units of two" or even "each purchase of one requires compulsory purchase of a second".

As a child I remember considering the difference between "extra free" and "free" which I used to see on cereal boxes. Sometimes the box claimed "10% free!" but other sneakier boxes would claim "10% extra free!". The latter allows the marketer to quote the same nominal figure for a smaller absolute quantity.
And you'd really hope they'd actually test it on real hardware. Although I don't know if they have anything automated, that'd be interesting to know.
