I think the terror of understanding that your companions are disappearing day by day and any day now your number will be up combined with the final moments until execution probably exceed the fun of running about in fields. We may have no way to know. But then we have no right to assume this isn’t the case.
Interesting how what is essentially a success in handling a crisis, can still be traumatic. It seems like I recall Chesley Sullenberger being on record stating that he and the rest of the crew of that "miracle on the Hudson" flight suffered from PTSD symptoms for weeks.
Could also be that the attacker made a set of random API calls that returned private data, e.g. to test that his permissions are working, and received whatever that API returned at that time without targeting any specific users (or caring about that specific data).
Olives have to be cured in e.g. lye to become edible. Wouldn’t that kill off pathogens?

Yeah, what you say applies to firms who care about their intellectual properties (like software companies or music companies) but most clients who hire freelancers don't fall in that category. Its mostly custom development work for their website or app and the clients are typically startups and small businesses who perhaps don't even care about these things.
Thank you! these are very cool.

Heat pollution is a very minor concern. From "Sustainable Energy – without the hot air" by David MacKay, pages 170 to 171:

"let’s assume that in 100 years or so, the world population is 10 billion, and everyone is living at a European standard of living, using 125 kWh per day derived from fossil sources, from nuclear power, or from mined geothermal power. The area of the earth per person would be 51 000 m^2. Dividing the power per person by the area per person, we find that the extra power contributed by human energy use would be 0.1 W/m^2. That’s one fortieth of the 4 W/m^2 that we’re currently fretting about, and a little smaller than the 0.25 W/m^2 effect of solar variations. So yes, under these assumptions, human power production would /just/ show up as a contributor to global climate change."

EU definition of a personal data breach.

> "‘personal data breach’ means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed;

Based upon this definition just allowing the access is a breach.
Sometimes and not everywhere. The problem with water is that there’s usually too much or to little in the spot you want it. For cooling purposes the water should be of particular quality (eg fresh), so building on the beach comes with its own problems.
MEMS is also used for laser beam steering (depth sensors, projectors), oscillators and even loudspeakers. MEMS is truly a breakthrough where physics meet electronics.

Commercially MEMS is also very interesting because it’s a branch of semiconductor manufacturing which is dominated by different players compared to the regular TSMC/Samsung/Intel trifecta.

Things I wish I knew before building a startup
Yep, this incredibly low price is just for creating a rough prototype (which the client is typically never interested in). As I said, once the client comes to discussion table, I then bring the topics of well-maintained and commented source code, unit and integration testing, benefits of cloud hosting on AWS, etc. and then we start forming real estimates.
Agreed. But also I think a lot of job requirements list every programing language under the sun...so candidates just trying to match the resume screening algorithms.

Well if you solve it, then you've proved that you can solve it, right? So let people solve it the way they solve it when they're working for real. If that means sitting quietly and focusing on their screen, so be it.

Alternatively, the point of an interview is for the applicant to pretend they're bright and solving it on the spot while broadcasting how smart they are: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17106291

Afaik the arizona plant doesnt use sewage but grey water, from drains and canals and such. Large amounts of it, and it gets straight up evaporated. Grey water should ideally be remediated and used for irrigation, not just evaporated - not in desert regions at least.

We will need to use water resources better! There are options for doing that, but no way to make thermoelectric power plant use insignificant.
That's assuming that we use the same order of magnitude of energy.

If the promise of a technology is that we can use several orders of magnitude more energy per person, then that .1W/m2 could become 10W/m2.

If we don't increase energy usage, sure, no big deal, but the entire point of pursuing fusion is to enable fantastically more energy usage, at least as I see it.

So we also need a second revolutionary technology, direct conversion of energy rather than thermal energy conversion.

Fusion will never be a cost winner if it's using thermal energy conversion, anyway. Solar and wind will soon undercut the steam turbine lifetime costs, so even if the fusion part were free, there's no way for heat engines to compete on cost.
You’re complaining that DOS lacked features and protections. But zero cost abstractions like DOS can still be robust (in the sense of being reliable and solid.) yes it requires more trust, But there is no guarantee modern OSes can run arbitrary zero-trust binaries.

Thanks for that insight. What blocks me is the seeming emphasis on failure rather than success. The latter is so much easier to incorporate my contributions. The former just ends up making me feel bad then and afterward.
The photo in the article shows three Song Thrushes (Turdus philomelos) (the larger ones); the smaller one in the middle of the picture is most likely a Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita). The small bird, the in background, next to one of the Song Thrushes appears to be a Serin (Serinus serinus). All are typical of Olive groves in winter.

The first two species are migrants from northern Europe. These successfully survived the Autumn migration so this has a more severe impact on their populations in general.

Part of the reason white-collar salaries are so high (along with demand) is that a lot of jobs actually aren't that interesting to do.

The stereotypical office job is "get on a train for 1-2 hours a day, then sit in front of a screen for 8 hours a day in a boring office with fluorescent lighting, five times a week, forever".

Not everyone works at a company that actually matters so they're ultimately just pushing bits around.

There are definitely other monotonous jobs (checkout staff is the obvious canonical example), but then there's interesting stuff like working for emergency services, mechanic, personal trainer, etc, all YMMV of course.

And just because someone solved (or didn't) a whiteboard puzzle doesn't mean they have (or don't have) the skills for the job you're hiring for. I would argue that actual working code out in the open speaks more than a puzzle solving session.
But at this point you're adding even more bookkeeping and implementation complexity just to use a data structure that's not ideal in the first place (for performance, sequential memory layout is better than chasing pointers).
I Got Inspired by This to Start My Blog
That bit about the assumption of positional authority really rings true.

I've worked with a number of people who used to be in blue collar jobs (former military non-commissioned officers, former trades men, etc). They often have a different kind of work ethic than people without that background and that often adds a lot. You'll rarely see analysis paralysis with them, or non-KISS solutions.

However, I once worked in an organization where all the management came from that background, and really still had one foot (at least) in that mindset. They did not understand what the engineers and developers did, so often made decisions based on fear of the unknown, or out of a sense that their authority was being questioned. Not a good scene.

Or, just think about your phone. If I put my head to the speaker, a sensor detects that, and the OS turns off the screen to save power. If I'm playing music to my Bluetooth speaker, and a call comes in, it pauses the song. When the call ends, the song automatically resumes.

KT's UNIX 0.1 didn't do audio or power management or high-level events notification.
Not to mention the salt

Curing olives implies to wash the raw fruit in saltwater and spices and discard the water after some hours or days. The procedure is redone as times as necessary to ged rid of the sour flavour. You can not eat it raw and green, they taste horrible.

Agreed, but they are not alternatives, they are both possible. Also, I was not referring to super hard questions that require practicing "cracking the coding interview" for a month before passing. I've had "popular" candidates that could not shuffle an array, find a substring within a string or do some other relatively simple task that requires the candidate to think a bit.
The reality is that of course, people with seven years experience should not need to do such tests, but in practice, there are many candidates with such prerequisites that can't even code anything. How they get the seven years, is beyond me. All I know is that they can't code.

WOHA was a cursory and self acknowledged "back of the envelope" style reference, it is also now outdated.

Heat pollution is often not a minor concern locally, see introductions such as "Thermal pollution: an overview"[1]. Even globally heat pollution may have a significant contribution to climate, see studies such as "Global anthropogenic heat emissions from energy consumption" [2]

>Although the mean Antropogenic Heat Flux is small compared to the forcing of GHGs, it may exert quite distinctive effects on the climate and the environment because of the surface-based emissions and uneven geographical distribution.[2]

I don’t really want Java as a data science language, but Scala would be a perfect fit.

There’s already a nice data frame library that I helped develop at my old company called Saddle. Now we just need some quant finance libraries (like the excellent zip line, pyfolio, and alpha lens), some industrial NNs, optimization libs (like cvxpy), and something like scipy.

Is this ever going to happen? Probably not, but a man can dream..

I expect white collar pay to drop relative to blue collar pay in the future, it’s probably even happening now. Everyone knows the toll physical labor takes on your body, plus much of white collar work isn’t that hard so there’s a lot of supply of labor that are able to do it.

Both examples in this article had to do with being a parent. I wonder if this innate feeling was the true catalyst behind their move from blue to white collar jobs. The stress, or drive, to provide for their families and be a good role model. Good for them, their display of strength and pride will influence their children. I bet those kids will grow up to be strong-minded, hard-working adults.

Pharmaceutical supply company line worker, warehouse truck loader, dishwasher assembly line worker, gas station attendant. I had blue collar work from 16 until about 30. Under grad then grad school. Technical writer, jr developer, sr developer, architect. It’s been an insane transition. And the biggest part that gets me is when people complain about workload. I try to temper myself because I know my lived experience is vastly different than nearly everyone I work with. But when Jrs complain about having too much to do or something being a lot of work I can’t help but remember unloading hundred pound boxes from the back of a scalding hot truck in the North Carolina summer and chuckle to myself.

Let's start using DuckDuckGo more often
I'd made a similarly titled post[1] a couple years back and I seriously don't know what kind of usage DuckDuckGo has right now. But I'd like to think that it is extensively used, at least in the developer community. And I strongly believe that people should start degoogling their lives at least slowly and gradually if its not possible to do it at once. If more people start using DDG, the search engine will improve and that least that one aspect of degoogling could be achieved to a certain extent.

I believe this can quite easily be done. The only issue I can see is adoption.

Websites are not gonna spend time and money on adding authentication by an other third party if this authentication system/service is not accessible by a huge amount of users.
Like you said, most of the time what you can see is auth with Facebook and/or Google. That is because a huge amount of internet users have an account on one or both of those platforms and that makes it worth the money to add them to some website's auth system.

On the user's side, some users will agree to pay for a privacy focused auth system but that will still be very few users. This can be an attractive solution for a subset of the internet users who are more privacy aware. But, some users will want services to use the auth solution before they create an account.

It's a bit like an egg and chicken dilemma.
