Accepting ones own personal responsibility is a requirement for a healthy mental condition; leaving the responsibility for ones mental health to other agencies and denying ones own agency - well, this is the very definition of mentally un-well.

Educate yourself before you fall into this scenario, is what I'm saying. Sure, if you're so mentally un-well that you can't care for yourself, you're going to need help - but too many times, that help turns to betrayal when one problem (mental illness) gets supplanted with another (pharmaceutical addiction).

There are no silver bullets to mental illness - not even the ones that come in a nicely packaged pill container.

We do not have the handle on mental illness that we think we do.

So no, just assuming "because everyone else is doing it" is not a good enough reason, imho, to put oneself in the position of addiction to pharmaceutical products. Take personal responsibility, and consider the alternatives before one becomes pharmaceutically dependent in order to maintain a 'healthy life'. This is a mine-field, and is by no means a settled issue in our current culture.
I think companies have on occasion lost billions due to a glitch in a contract, sometimes due to delegating work to a novice who didn't fully understand it. And a contract is not totally unlike a program.
> the assumption of a reluctant workforce

From interviewing hundreds and managing dozens, I'd say that this is unfortunately largely accurate and not through anyone's malicious intent, but just human nature.

A good salary helps to mask the reluctance, but deep down most people aren't living their lifelong dream at their day job.

There are many other things we'd rather be doing with our time and I think good managers understand and accept that. Some people are just off the charts innately consistently productive, but most aren't and need motivation to stay focused. Deadlines are a tool that works for some people. Others need praise, others need purpose, others need creative freedom. But deep down I think most of us need some external motivation to stay focused for 6-8 hours a day.

But when you do find that person that can consistently self-motivate, hire them and keep them. It makes everything so much easier.
Dragonfly allegedly is designed to associate searches with a user's phone number, which can be tied to their identity. Since China would have access to this system, it's likely searches for banned topics would be able to impact your social credit, or potentially get you disappeared in the middle of the night.

Indeed, the most impressive part of this is that it's actually half a dozen different exploits carefully chained together to produce the final result. I can't even imagine the amount of perseverance required for each single sub-exploit. Mad props.
I'm waiting for GPU's that can output a holographic interference pattern. It looks like random noise, but makes a 3d image if you shine a laser through it.

I think ray tracing actually has advantage here as a precursor to the information needed to calculate the interference pattern.
> If the same taste can be had in a healthier package and without killing anything, it's a win-win.

Most people that are vegan or vegetarian choose that, because the ethics part of eating meat is the most important factor for them, with price and taste and nutrition trailing that.

And then a lot of those people make the assumption that everyone who isn't vegan absolutely doesn't care about the ethics of it. But that is simply not true. A lot of people, myself included, care about the ethics, it's just that we care more about taste and cost and nutrition. I love eating a good burger, or a good steak. I'm sorry a cow had to die, but I'm not sorry enough to stop doing it.

But give me an alternative that is just as good, but where cows don't have to die, and I'll switch in a heartbeat.
Thanks for the link, I'd never heard of REBL. Very cool!
Switching from Boeing to Airbus would be more than just pilot and crew retraining, though, right? Maintenance and part sourcing would be significantly different as well. Obviously there are differences between 737 and 737 MAX there as well, but I can't imagine they'd be as significant.

In addition, since the 737 and 737 MAX are very similar from a piloting standpoint, I would expect that getting type certified on a MAX when you already are certified on a vanilla 737 would be much easier and cheaper than type certifying on a completely different plane from another manufacturer.
It would be interesting to see how many of these bugs would be possible if an operating system written in Rust would be used.

I would treat any code allocating / deallocating / moving / locking memory by hand instead of using higher level constructs unsafe now that we know that it's possible to automate checking safety of the operations.
Which model did you buy? Does it have an internet browser or apps?
See, the problem is being limited to OS X. Windows is good these days. Linux is good too.

Or, at least, when I left OS X, it was just as clunky & crashy & inconsistent as everything else. And I realized that all my tools ran elsewhere or I could find decent alternatives.

I got really tired of limiting myself to the Apple silo. IMO, Apple's only thing was that they were nearly perfect, and that was reason to accept lock-in. Now, not so much.
Do Jews not eat beef? I thought it was mainly pork?
I have no CS degree either and mostly found that this isn't an issue with technical interviewers, BUT there is one place where it does matter: USCIS requirements for high tech work visas requires either a degree or "equivalent" work experience. I happen to have well over a decade of work experience under my belt and was able to get my work visa thanks to that, but this is definitely a real barrier if you're outside of the US and your goal is to get a silicon valley career.

r2c | Infrastructure, Full Stack, Program Analysis Engineers | San Francisco | Onsite, Full-time | https://ret2.co

We're a small San Francisco startup passionate about analyzing code and measuring its security. We provide tools to developers, hackers, and researchers that simplify program analysis and make it possible to analyze entire software ecosystems quickly (e.g. every publicly available JavaScript project on GitHub). Security issues are an open source public health problem; with your help we can vaccinate the community against entire classes of exploits. Come join us and give back to the open source community!

You'll be an early engineer working with our designers, security researchers, and developers everyday to create a platform that brings together program analysis authors with people who review and fix issues in open source software. Our backend is primarily Python, our frontend is primarily TypeScript with React, and we use modern web infrastructure (e.g AWS, Docker).

We take an empirical approach to product development, proposing experiments and rigorously validating our ideas. We believe in building each other up and 'yes and...' conversations! You’ll have the opportunity to meet with users and set the direction of the product here.

To find out more about r2c, please email minnie@returntocorp.com.

Thank you so much for over generalizing my comments.

The McDonald's burgers I had in Italy tasted just like the McDonald's burgers I remember McDonald's tasting like. I actively will not eat the current McDonald's burgers in the US--they have gotten that unpalatable to my taste.

Fortunately, in the US, I have plenty of options for burgers that are not McDonald's--unlike most of Europe.

So <nyah> to your European master race-baiting.
True, but you usually have at least some idea of what you want to do before you start Googling for something.

Vim's help command is also world class. It's just searching it is hard, but fzf.vim makes this easy, so you can literally type 1 word of what you want to learn more about and you'll find all sorts of results.
At my school they started introducing algebra in 5th grade with legit algebra classes in 6th grade. I think that is a good time to start, although at least half the kids could have started a year earlier even.

There's probably too many security holes inherent in modern technology to get that sort of one-party equilibrium. You'll have the governments who paid for the surveillance tech, the companies that installed backdoors in products they manufactured, the suppliers that installed backdoors in the components of those products, rival nation states, various hacker collectives, and the criminals they sold exploits to all jockeying for power in a cat & mouse game of information warfare.

It'll probably end in a war of some sort, as power struggles usually do, but a chaotic don't-know-who-your-enemies-are war like Syria rather than the Great Power contests of WW2. Then after the war we'll likely see the survival of technologies that don't require large-scale maintenance (like solar, batteries or mechanical/thermal storage, electric motors, market economies, flexible micro-manufacturing, computers, and drones) over those that do (like the electric grid, large corporations, state-wide surveillance, broadcast networks, large standing armies, etc.).
It's completely amazing to me too. As I understand it, one of the tools that the security research community uses is fuzzing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzing). I can at least understand how this sort of technique would help generate some leads.

I'd recommend the Security Now podcast by Steve Gibson if you're interested in this sort of thing. He does a great job explaining many of the exploits out there.
Why call them the "two sides" if there are the same? You need actual change.
Nobody cares about it until its normal and expected.

We just need to get past the hurdle of it, once a bunch of raytracing cards are out in the wild (as now are), more games will be made with such effects, and this will push more need for raytracing hardware, until we almost entirely abandon raster.

Honestly raster feels inherently "unreal", a drawing as opposed to a real space. While raytrace feels like recreation of reality.
Brain zaps are unpleasant. They are nothing like the withdrawals from benzos, which can include seizures which can be life-threatening.

Hey Totaldude,

I taught myself programming over the course of a couple of years, having started from pretty much zero. Now I am working part time as a developer for a startup, and run a business of my own - having built not just the website and app for my business, but also developed the hardware and firmware!

Below are the classes that I took to get started along with a bit of a storyline:

http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ - I started this a while ago and never finished because I got distracted. It's kind of bare bones, but will get your wheels spinning.

https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-har... - I started and got all the way through the last problem set. This course is EXCELLENT: wonderful lectures, challenging assignments, expansive community (facebook group, reddit.com/r/cs50, stackoverflow, etc). If there was only one class to pick from this list, CS50 would be it.

After CS50, I wanted to get good at a specific language and decided to learn Python. It is a very flexible and powerful language. It's very clean syntactically making it easier to learn. You can use if for data science, for little scripts, for web development, for pretty much anything.

https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-mit... - i started this late (not self paced like the CS50), and played catch-up a good amount of the time. A solid class, mostly did it because I wanted to get good at Python. I got most of the way though this course as well.

https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computational-thinki... - I started this class next because I wanted to use Python to crunch numbers, and eventually get into machine learning. I made it just a few weeks into this course before getting distracted with my own projects.

It's not just about learning a programming language, but learning to program. With two hours a day, you can churn through the CS50 course in a couple of months, during which you'll build a website & webapp. It'll definitely be a challenge (it took me a couple of tries to make it all the way through), but it's an amazing course - make sure to take advantage of the huge community.
Raytracing isn't just some expensive gimmick to make lighting look better. It's the entire future of real-time graphics. Right now it's used sparingly, but in a few years it's going to replace the great majority of rasterization use-cases altogether. This will drastically simplify graphics programming and allow for things we never thought possible. I dearly hope AMD gets on board because competition is good, but the train won't wait for them.

No, there aren’t. This is a few hundred cameras and it’s mostly downtown. San Diego is the eighth largest city in the US and this is a tiny fraction of the city. Evaluate it on the merits, but be clear about what’s really going on.
How naive. We may not lose battles that were won a long time ago (so the state may not be as racist as it were) but don't believe that the next battle will be easier to win with so much power in the hands of the few.

Don't worry about it. You probably eat too much protein anyway. Give it a few years and protein will be the enemy and everyone will be rediscovering carbs. Just eat good old fashioned food, a bit of everything, and what you like. Do you know anyone who lived to 100 that even knows what a "carb" is?
The prohibition is against meat and dairy simultaneously.

> Nobody cares about the RTX feature. Gamers always prefer higher framerates over improved indirect lighting which is in practice rather subtle.

You seem to like absolutes … Let me prove you wrong: I care about nicer looking reflections and realistic soft shadows.
I do. Maybe not the tools that become popular, but new developers often consider publishing their first side project or personal tool to be a valuable milestone.

I think a lot of green developers' JS tools don't make it to the mainstream, but they certainly do make it more difficult to filter hype from substance. That's not a valid reason to discourage contributions: more people hacking on more stuff and making more discoveries, even at the cost of fragmentation, is far more valuable than putting a chilling effect on contributions (and there are other ways to mitigate fragmentation).
Right now there's still a huge imbalance between men and women. While not ideal for Han Chinese, just being able to marry and have children makes intermarriage between other ethnic groups a necessity. When the end result is you have a family that more or less looks Han and is culturally Han, no one cares really about the means.
I would assume this refers to the prohibition on eating meat with dairy.
Im there with you, I get this sensation that I am missing something if I am not looking in the correct orientation as the key action taking place
They tend to be really smart and motivated people. For example, http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/gcnc/ is not just a good guide to CNC, it's an amazing guide where you realize he learned half the unwritten rules just by thinking about them. http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/rstory/ for the robots.
I didn't know that, thanks
In response to one of the responses (that seems to have been deleted) that's a really good point about doing it out of interest.

I think I am interested in the fundamentals of this field, at least enough that I've been reading some of the books and papers in my spare time. If it was just a matter of interest and curiosity, I guess I'd just keep up the reading, which I can do for free anyway.

But I would only invest in a degree if I thought it would boost my earning potential in the Valley. Otherwise it seems better to just keep working full-time, maybe do some short courses here and there.

This is so awesome from the general safety, convenience (super simple to use!) and speed perspective. I would gladly pay to have the option to be able to choose which datacenter I connect to.
Nothing obviously a "mess." Your guess is as good as mine.
My interpretation of “not designed for mobile” is mobile devices, not mobile network. In particular, TCP is not designed for a scenario where the device keeps leaving old
networks and joining new ones, or where a device routinely has 2 network interfaces where one has better performance than the other but which one is better changes frequently.
Not to sound moralistic but if yiu wouldn’t do it while being recorded, why would you do it in public at all?
They do not eat beef and dairy together. At least she does not. It doesn't matter if the dairy is kosher or not, the two are not mixed.
Oh no? Burger Kind currently has the best veggie burger of any fast food chain. That char flavour sets it apart. Though maybe that will be in the new one too.
I don't buy this argument - specifically, I don't buy that there are normbie pleb users with "majority tastes" as opposed to the patricians with refined, elite "minority tastes."

Everybody has some minority tastes. Everyone's got their own long tail of stuff they like. Obviously there's stuff that's more popular than other stuff - otherwise they wouldn't be majority tastes - but it's not like someone who watches Jimmy Kimmel on Youtube therefore doesn't also enjoy, like, woodworking channels.

The difference is, I guess, what you're willing to settle for - if the algorithm discovers you like a thing that's easy to find more of, it will really start shoving that in your face, because it's easy, and if you're not persistent enough to keep seeking out specialty content despite the tide, then the popular stuff is what you're going to get.
