I just accepted a job in santa rosa for a third of what I would have been making in san fracisco.

I did so, for many reasons, some of which:

* At 44, I experience a hell of a lot of ageism now

* I am burnt out on my previous role - and I had litterly zero passion for the only thing I had pretty much done my entire career

* After spending more than 6 months interviewing with tons of companies, I could literally feel my skills atrophy. My professional vocabulary was starting to fail. I was forgetting really basic things that were previously innate

* Housing sucks in the bay area

* mass transit is an evil joke which punishes anyone who wants to take it

* I am pretty much done with the bay area, and even moving outside it - and not wanting to do what I have done for 20 years will require effectively building up a new path for myself.

Now, I am working in cannabis tech. And I like it way better than ops tech for what I did before, regardless of the pay.
Could a mesh network be created on existing WiFi hardware? For example with a firmware refresh / OpenWRT? Then it’s just a matter of mass adoption / critical mass in neighborhoods.

Are you a U.S. permanent resident or U.S. citizen?

It only works for foreigners, I believe, as U.S. residents don't need I-94 forms (the old cardboard slips). I'm also not sure if it works for Canadians, as Canadians can also travel to the U.S. more easily.

For my home directory/active data I use 'rdiff-backup' to keep 7 days of hourly snapshots. If I screw anything up I never lose more than an hour. My bulk data gets a snapshot every 3 days due to the size/time. All that data is already on raid1 but the extra filesystem level backup will protect from any low level disk hosings. I mirror that backup drive weekly and keep an extra copy off site. If I'm super paranoid about losing something I'll also save it with 'duplicity' to S3, although I also like remote mounting an AWS volume and using it with 'EncFS'.

If I'm going anywhere with my laptop and want access to my data faster than internet speeds I'll preload everything with 'unison' onto the laptop and temporarily have my own Dropbox clone while mobile.

Using those open source tools lets me do basically the same thing as these services while keeping full control of my data.

Unfair to me are situations where people die because they are unable to pay for their own needs like food and healthcare. I gladly pay 50% of my income for basic infrastructure, healthcare and welfare for everyone, and i still have more than enough money at the end of the month after all expenses like rent, food, entertainment, etc.
I had enough rounds of almost enough tickets, come back next time and the prize is gone, or has inflated to twice the tickets to know that playing ticket games was a waste. So I spent my tokens on the fun games. I do like the free game mechanic in pinball though, you can earn one with skill, and there's a chance of a free game by luck with match at the end. Although, both of those are manipulated: modern machines will drop the replay score when it's not hit, and match is set by the operator to a percentage, that may or may not be the 10% it appears it should be.
Maybe that's why the right wing is so pro-climate-change: it gives them more extreme weather to talk about.

It's a big word game about what you're counting as "self-control". The phrasing is clickbait.
> What you are really saying is "I hope there is a massive war so excess human capital stock is cleared and the relative valuation of each human is raised for a generation or two."

Your biases are showing or you're being hyperbolic to an unreasonable degree. The person you're referencing simply says they believe there could be a future where the world needs less Human labor and they hope we can mitigate the problems that would come with shifting from a labor based economy to whatever comes next. To assume they meant massive war instead of something like Universal Basic Income is silly, they suggested no such thing.

I don't think ML people belong to the group that believes we are close before human-like AI. In fact, I think they are some of the few ones in touch about how far away it still is. As it should be.

Even a few years ago, I worked as a student at a Big4 and these firms ran out for "technology consulting" and told their clients about AI this, AI that and it's gonna be robots taking it all over. Of course those were advertisements, ruses even, for getting audit & tax customers via the "compliance" angle (e.g. cloud compliance laws).

But anyway, their is a true craze about AI and autonomous driving which holistically ignores all the major road blocks that we are facing now. It's buzzwords and marketing all over. It's the Gluten-intolerance of technology.

According to general public media we are 2-5 years away from level 5 autonomy. Ask people at Waymo about the issues they face...

Yes, it is still accessible, but usability is decreased. There are multiple ways to activate a button. Accessibility and usability are not contested or mutually exclusive qualities. You can have both great CSS and great accessibility at the same time.
K&R C had no formal spec. It wasn't until 10 years after its invention that it did, and that was after a lot of real-world experience.

I would argue that early specifications don't work out very well. In fact, they are often problematic. One example is that standard ANSI C had a proposal for a while that included an Alias keyword. This was such a bad idea, that Dennis Ritchie showed up to the meeting personally to help kill it.

Standards committees are not usually staffed with practitioners, who are busy developing the language and are quite expert in nuance, feasibility, and utility. Attendees to standards committee meetings are almost always not.

And reality does meet the standardization expectations quite frequently. Look at the number of "undefined" or "implementation choices" in C alone. Therein lie careers for security folks.

Mail Fishing – Ever Noticed Those Weird New Mailboxes? Here’s Why They Changed
Well, many people would take the first case (no crime, and the police trying to find the smallest bs as crime to pass their time), over a country with lots of crime.

(Sure, there's also the perfect case, no crime, and the police sitting idly, but in the real world we rarely have the "perfect" case, and "no crime/police fishing for people stealing a beer case left as a thief trap" is close enough to perfect).

Sincere question, I didn't realize that Rust didn't have a specification. How can folk say Rust guarantees safety when it doesn't guarantee an implementation? I don't see how you could have one without the other.

Now, admittedly, the lowest level language I've used is Go!, so fairly abstracted (and no memory management), so I might be mistaken, but it doesn't seem like you can have safety without a specification.
Because that would be more work. Why not switch to a browser which supports webm/VP9?
Correct if the gambler's money can be divided infinitely small. But if there is a lower limit, like 1c, then ruin is inevitable.
i disagree with the main article, but he is right. C++ was supposed to be more than just browsers, GUI and video games: it shuold have been a better C. It failed. It was supposed to be more secure than C. It failed.

Mostly the OOP failed part, because it wasn't that good of an idea (usefull in some case, to do geometry and grapic stuff, and for other, specific cases). And Java's "everything is an object" did not help C++, with countless students trained on Java then writing software with C++ and doing awfull things everywhere. C++15 is really fun to work with in new, clean projects, with either new or very ancient C++ devs, but i would get away from any proposition including a pre-2013 C++ codebase and any "rockstar"/"genius" C++ dev with 2-10 years of C++ experience as a lead.

And by the way, nowadays python and Js replaced C++ in the GUI usecase (yes, electron is written with C++, this is not my point).

Wait, what? No place I've seen (and all have been open office) has taken sick leave out of vacation PTO. That's crazy. Employees have to draw the line somewhere.
In a typical corporate office, I would not tolerate it. I would push back, and I encourage anyone with sufficient job security to push back too.

Very early in my career, when I as still operating in the break/fix world of help desk support I toured an office during an interview. It was a boilerroom sales team, complete with a gong that someone bashed as I walked along the back wall to the conference rooms, everyone cheered madly, papers flew, loud music started playing off of a set of overhead speakers. I winced the moment the music blared and almost visually grimaced from the volume. Along the way the hiring manager interviewing me pointed to an area in the back of the office with laptops stacked up to the desk from the floor, monitors, cables everywhere-directly underneath one of the speakers. He didn't have to tell me, I figured it out, but he told me anyway

"And over there is where IT sits".

I stopped the recruiter before we made it to the conference room and politely pardoned myself from the interview process. No way in hell.

IMO, that push back needs to start early, as early as possible where possible. Not everyone may have the circumstances to punt on an interview like that, completely understandable, but the interview is just as much for your benefit as theirs. Candidates should evaluate as much as they can by sheer power of observation as they can verbally asking about working from home.

That means taking in what you can that you might not be explicitly shown-or worse, steered away from if you're brought in for an on-site interview.

That's what I can't wrap my head around with the debacle that professional software development has become... isn't there supposed to be a _shortage_ of developers? Wouldn't that suggest that they'd be trying to find ways to retain and attract us instead of finding new and creative ways of kicking us in the teeth?
I use mechanical keyboards in an open office environment. Even clicky ones. Does it bother anyone? Nobody complained yet (in fact, barely anyone noticed I bring my own keyboards to work). On the other hand, I can hear people typing on butterfly and membrane keyboards. So in my experience, in an open space which is already pretty noisy mechanical keyboards don't create noise which is more significant than non-mechanical keyboards.

The legal definition prohibiting encryption is in §97.113(4) and says that "messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning" are prohibited. This is generally accepted to be a blanket prohibition of "encryption" in the sense that SSH, SSL, TLS, VPN type traffic would be prohibited.

However, there are some interesting and positive nuances because the rule specifically doesn't ban "crypto". For instance, it is my belief that cryptography for the purpose of authentication or message signing/integrity checking is completely permissable. That is to say that you can even technologically allow things like TLS and HTTPS so long as you force a NULL cipher; so you get message integrity but no encryption so some observer could see all the traffic but not be able to interfere.
I thought the same thing, but the data does not support this view. See my other comment in this thread - if you look at the symptoms of depression/anxiety rather than specific diagnoses of it, the trends are pretty clear.

It might vary by region. It's fairly standard among my circle of friends. For most of us, doing the math revealed that, with both parents working, child care expenses and the like would eat up all or most of what the lesser-earning parent was bringing home after taxes.

Some of that is about how the tax system works in the US, too - the way that "married filing jointly" works was designed under the assumption that married women are homemakers, and so treating two-income families fairly wasn't a priority.

This paper fails to separate out the effect of disemployment effects caused by offshoring, muted demand and robots.

I've seen this in a few other papers on this topic too (e.g. Ball state university, 2017)

This part of the regs have nothing to do with encryption. This is the so called "documented protocol" requirement. §97.113(4) is the relevant main rule that would govern encryption. There are various exceptions to this through the rest of the document such as spread spectrum, space stations, and telemetry/radio control all having some special case language.

Hm. Not convinced of the link between the two. The article is arguing that procrastination is the proactive delay of making a hard decision to the detriment of our mental wellbeing. A good night's sleep isn't necessarily going to make you want to confront that decision.
Restic looks pretty interesting, I wasn't aware of it, thank you. I don't know how Restic can achieve its goals, since AFAIK you need a binary running on the server to diff/check data/verify restores/etc without transferring all that over the network.

This is because taking additional or remedial actions is work. That work has to be justified against a hierarchy of needs. Until that justification is credible enough, work will be allocated elsewhere.

> How can folk say Rust guarantees safety when it doesn't guarantee an implementation?

Just because there isn't a formal spec, doesn't mean that the underlying systems aren't built with some rules, grounded in computer science and math. We believe that the systems we've set up do guarantee those properties, even if they haven't yet been formally verified. And a subset of them have been formally verified, which also increases confidence.

Adding to that confidence level is empirical results: while people have found implementation bugs, which will always exist in any implementation, nobody has managed to demonstrate that the model is fundamentally broken. That it's been years, and many people have tried, also leads us to suspect that our conclusions are correct here.

Put another way: not all specs are equal. Some are formal, some are informal. Just having a spec doesn't actually guarantee anything either. Most languages don't have a specification at all.
