You need to make sure backhoes know where the cables are. It works very well in Netherland. Except for high voltage long distance power, everything goes underground.

Although in urban areas, I'd expect it to make more sense to have spacious tubes underground through which all the cables are easily pulled, so you don't have to dig everything up all the time. Maybe they already do that; I'm not sure.
Google/AS15169 has an open peering policy.

My site Office Snapshots (https://officesnapshots.com) might be of interest to you.

We publish office design projects and the advertising is based on the content which usually ends up being office furniture, products, and services. We also sell and host our own advertising to make sure they are high quality and that they load quickly.

Your digital trade show note is interesting too as we work with furniture manufacturers who can have a digital presence on the site to highlight their products.

>>I am led to believe they know that these machines are harmful and therefore they are carefully orchestrating...

That's not even close to the simplest explanation. Far simpler is that they are careless, clueless, and paranoid, and don't want anyone finding out something bad on their watch. Or they just don't want to allow anyone to get concerned.

>> The rules don't have to make sense.
Unless we're living in a Kafka or Vonnegut book, they are supposed to have actual reasons and make sense.

Calling out one particular type of measuring device, which happens to measure the one plausible type of hazard in that workplace, yeah, that's suspicious.

>> .assuming no shielding whatsoever.
Does not assume no shielding whatsoever, only a plausible hotspot or focus. The point is that the potential dosing is in the range of values that could cause a hazard, and even at 10% of that value, would be overdosing within a year. It is not like it is totally off the scale (as are many of the public's fears).

>> You would hope that after two months without shielding on the device, someone might notice.

Yes, you would hope that. However, if you've ever read reports on industrial issues, you'll find that far worse and more noticeable hazards go unnoticed/unfixed for YEARS at a time before they get around to killing someone. And this sort of low-level radiation is particularly pernicious, as it is completely unnoticeable until after it is too late.

The simple solution is, assuming that these machines are largely safe (which I generally expect), is to say "you can buy dosimeters on your own dime and wear them if you like, just keep them out of sight in your pocket while on duty. If anyone gets any unexpectedly high readings, we'll investigate, but remember since you haven't got a chain of custody around the meter, it'll be only the beginning of an investigation, not immediate acceptance of your results."

Ye, it may turn out to be bit more work, but it shows you're on the side of worker safety, and on the road to getting things fixed. Mostly, it'll quell any fear and likely cause no one to wear one.

With the rules as it is, I'd be damn sure to sneak dosimeters into my clothes while working there.

I'm 29 and can barely remember the code I wrote last week.

Comments don't get updated when the requirements for the code change, more often than not end up as misleading.

The only thing worth commenting are actual libraries that are maintained, and 'magic values'.
The bottomline is that I've seen it happen in real life, to people in my social circle and family.

I wrote a reply to another comment that addressed something similar. The best way I can create a correlation in the real world is this way: If you go to a restaurant with 20 choices it takes people much longer to order something as opposed to a restaurant that can fit their menu on one page.

It's some psychological paradox, or research, that I can't remember. Someone actually replied with a TED talk that touches on this matter.
After the war, they handed all the machines back to IBM.
A feature of cryptocurrencies like ethereum or bitcoin is they can be anonymous and unregulated which can make small transactions cheap. You can get an ethereum address and I can send you 10c worth of it for maybe 2c in costs and that's it. To do similar in fiat we each need financial institutions which may have to spend a fair bit each to do KYC on us. It remains to be seen where Facebook will fit on the regulated/unregulated spectrum. Somewhere between the two I imagine.

i do kernelspace development in C for embedded devices.

i would take exception at "easy". i assume you're saying that because you're able to use linaro's arm toolchains out of the box, straight from your distro's repositories. and you're right, that is mostly easy.

but as soon as you need more than simply compiling an executable to run on top of an incumbent kernel, since gcc toolchains are tied to kernel version, things get hard. unnecessarily hard. recompiling the compiler shouldn't be necessary. llvm-based compilers like clang address this in a more sane way, but aren't as mature as gcc.

and build systems for C don't support cross-compiling very well either. project based on cmake and autotools will usually work with a little tweaking, but if a project just uses makefiles you'll end up re-writing the build system 90% of the time.

rust's cross-compiling isn't quite there yet, i agree, but the language's (and the compiler's) design choices set the stage for a much better cross-compiling process than you get from gcc.

Kids can only get savvy with exposure. Those lacking certain privileges (like having a computer at home) likely haven’t had any of that exposure.

I was only able to learn BASIC and the DOS command prompt because I was in a multi grade classroom, and an older boy (5th grader) whose mother paid for him to have programming lessons taught me on the classroom computer.

The teacher had no clue about any of that... she only knew I started spending “too much time” on the computer.
Many? I doubt it. I went with my family to the parade and no one knew anything. We were living close to Minsk. My uncle was a policeman and one of the liquidators(later time, outer zones) and despite been high ranking officer he didn't know.

There was an up and comer a few years back called Blue Mars, that was shaping up to be something really cool. It allowed content creators a great deal of control over their virtual landscapes.

But, for some reason they abruptly changed direction to some kind of weird mobile avatar creator on mobile and shut down shortly after.
Comments rot, and details about what is going on is better incorporated using good variable names and functions that abstract aspects of a task from their implementation.

While I don't like comments that try to explain what code is doing (write better code), comments are very useful for annotating WHY code does what it does. They're also very useful for adding documentation references, code use gotchas and things that need to be addressed in the future.
I've spent my career answering this question at myriad companies. In a few cases, the database was actually a bottleneck. In the vast majority of cases, the database was just being used very poorly and was no longer a bottleneck once used correctly. The exceptions to this usually involve exotic data models, which isn't most web apps.

Of the few cases where the database was the bottleneck in practice, I cannot think of a single cases where it should have been the bottleneck in theory. The limitations were always a property of the specific database implementation being used, not intrinsic to databases as a class of software. For example, most open source databases have notoriously poor storage throughput as a product of their architecture; faster storage definitely helps but it often solves a problem that may not exist in other database implementations. In these cases the problem is an architectural mismatch.

Sometimes architectural mismatch is an engineering problem. A handful of workloads and data models are currently only possible with custom database engines e.g. high-throughput mixed workloads or data models that require continuous load shifting. As a practical matter, the exotic cases that require a custom database engine are also the cases where no company should try to build it themselves without a deep expert -- they are considered technically exotic for good reasons.
If you work in a music studio, and you call yourself a sound engineer, no one is going to ask to see your credentials because it's assumed that you engineer sound. The same holds through with software engineering. No one expects you to carry some sort of card. When it comes to structural, or civil engineering, there is a far higher expectation that the things you design are not going to fall down. But we're able to understand this distinction. The idea that we should disallow computer coders/programmers from using the term engineer is not based on reducing confusion...
I have a cockatiel (small cousin to the cockatoo) at home. The first thing I thought when I saw "Australia" was "oh god, cockatoos." Mine regularly severs USB and headphone cables with ease then spends hours stripping all the insulation off preventing any hope of repair. I can only imagine what the Australian flying bolt cutters could do.

Well, I don't have that attitude. Lately, I push beginners towards repl.it so that they don't need to install anything or setup an IDE. There, each script/program is completely separate. So it avoids this issue entirely. Then, when they're a bit more familiar with programming, they can transition to a good local environment like PyCharm or some other setup that manages python versions, virtualenvs, etc.

What I'm saying is that bundling a specific Python interpreter and separate package environment should be the default. I'm not sure what it'd take to get there for a vanilla python install. But more system-level interpreters is not it.

Currently, the way I know of to do that is pyenv [0]. And I know PyCharm let's you pick a python version when you start a project (though I don't use pycharm so that may not be true anymore).

A fiendishly clever brand of meta-level genius propels The Cabin in the Woods, a pulpy, deceivingly insightful send-up of horror movies that elicits just as many knowing chuckles as horrified gasps. [It] comes not only to praise the slasher-, zombie- and gore-fests of yore but to critique them, elaborating on their grammatical elements and archetypal figures even while searching for ways to put them to novel use. The danger in such a loftily ironic approach is that everything in the film appears with ready-made quotation marks around it... But by then, the audience will have picked up on the infectiously goofy vibe of an enterprise that, from its first sprightly moments, clearly has no intention of taking itself too seriously."
Plausible deniability. Encryption systems that are designed for countering a hostile threat that can force you to divulge the key have two passwords. One opens your real data, one opens a decoy. It would be nice is phones had that feature.
You're getting some flack because "good enough" is too loaded and everyone reads it a little differently. No one seems to be reading your qualifier, "the consequences of a dupe would lead to a pretty bad customer experience."

Sometimes, good enough is good enough. If you were able to push back hard in this case, I take it you are senior to the other guy and your decision is/was justified by the product/feature requirements. IOW, in this case, good enough was in fact not good enough.

There were several formats developed for recording video on optical discs before the DVD. Optical recording technology was invented by David Paul Gregg and James Russell in 1958 and first patented in 1961. A consumer optical disc data format known as LaserDisc was developed in the United States, and first came to market in Atlanta, Georgia in 1978. It used much larger discs than the later formats. Due to the high cost of players and discs, consumer adoption of LaserDisc was very low in both North America and Europe, and was not widely used anywhere outside Japan and the more affluent areas of Southeast Asia, such as Hong-Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan.
The point is well made in the article, and I feel the same would happen with stories connected with India. Indian TV is such a clusterefk of bad content and lazy work that when the west would inevitably make a season on any of the countless things which happened in India, it'll be heads and shoulders above anything we could ever make today. And then the same "Oh, this is not the correct story" propoganda will be touted by people, gloriously oblivious to the great opportunity which they wasted by making mediocre me-too drama.

Also, Chernobyl is a great show!
And yet, (almost) everyone has Facebook. There isn't one facebook for techie types and another for evangelicals and another for the elderly and so on, they're all on Facebook. It's a more comprehensive consolidation of it's particular niche than any previous mass media format could have hoped for.

It's not impossible that a "metaverse" would benefit from the same network effects. You would want to inhabit the same (virtual) reality as your friends, probably, and they would like to inhabit the same as their friends, and so on. (Which doesn't mean we would like this outcome!)
Yep, they're great courses. Make sure you actually do it.

Vivek is an excellent instructor, and he goes from nothing to getting you up to speed pretty quickly.

The first parts might be a bit dry, because it's a lot of architecture and theoretical stuff. But after you get through that, and start doing things, you'll find that it's awesome.

Also, if you don't want to be a pentester, you might find a particular affinity for exploit development. And that's a niche field that pays well. That's where I'm going with my training, research, job. Not easy, at all, but it's deep, and fun.

If a court order said he had to confess, and arrested him for not doing so, would you say that is a lawful order?

And if not, what is the difference between being ordered to confess and being ordered to produce evidence harmful to yourself?

Courts should have the right to seek evidence, no one is disputing that, nor is anyone disputing the rights of the court to seek that evidence unmolested, but there is a difference between seeking evidence and mandating compliance.

As far as I am concerned courts should not have any right to compel any action, particularly specific action. They should only have a right to compel inaction. In short, the court can issue warrants that permit their officers to conduct actions that would otherwise be illegal, for example entering my house without my permission, and they may even compel me to stand outside and not interfere while they do so, but they should never be able to compel me to open the door for them.
I suppose if your process relies on that type of design happening regularly, remote work is not going to allow for that. But I don't think colocation is a requirement of iterative & reactive design.

No comment on the race aspect of this, but advertisers, marketers, and salespeople have always benefited from making people feel unhappy. It's one reason so many people loathe them.

It's a very simple and common tactic you will see everywhere: Make the customer feel inadequate, then present the product as a solution to their inadequacy. You don't need to directly attack them as inadequate. You can simply present a scene, or situation and let the customer's own insecurities/lizard brain desires fill in the gaps to associate the product with a solution (e.g. a liquor commercial that shows a couple having a great time partying with friends).

This is most likely a direct result of the recent Supreme Court decision in Apple v Pepper where the Supreme Court upheld the Ninth's decision that app buyers could sue Apple for price inflation.

One of Apple's arguments in that case was that Apple couldn't be sued by app purchasers because they could be sued by app developers. Think of it sort of as Apple claiming a sort of "Double Jeopardy" defense. The Supreme Court wrote that this argument was not persuasive:

It is true that Apple’s alleged anticompetitive conduct
may leave Apple subject to multiple suits by different
plaintiffs. But Illinois Brick did not purport to bar
multiple liability that is unrelated to passing an
overcharge down a chain of distribution. Basic antitrust
law tells us that the “mere fact that an antitrust violation
produces two different classes of victims hardly entails
that their injuries are duplicative of one another.” 2A
Areeda & Hovenkamp ¶339d, at 136. Multiple suits are
not atypical when the intermediary in a distribution chain
is a bottleneck monopolist or monopsonist (or both)
between the manufacturer on the one end and the
consumer on the other end. A retailer who is both a
monopolist and a monopsonist may be liable to different
classes of plaintiffs—both to downstream consumers and
to upstream suppliers—when the retailer’s unlawful
conduct affects both the downstream and upstream
markets.

This new lawsuit appears to be app developers taking that quote to heart.
Not sure it will be the same. 2008 was not just a regular business cycle recession. That was a huge event that I agree would be devastating.

Tech work is much more diversified now, right? Did capital one, starbucks, nordstrom, Walmart, Target, car makers and just about everyone have a sizable SWE team in 2001? They do now and a lot of those are probably in profit center roles.

That sets aside that big tech really got even more cemented into daily lives after both of those crashes. 2013 onward IMO. Just looks at how Tinder has changed relationships.

That said, I'm still proceeding with caution and don't have a self-assurance that I'm correct. I've set myself up to be able to peace out for a year in Vietnam or another cheap place if, somehow, the floor falls out.
As far as I remember having a predefined default was never actually considered.
Depends, would you not jump in and advocate a project fix fundamental flaws if it affected your production security?

Which don't get me wrong, this is likely not advocatable (is that a word?) to something like Find. I'm not defending that. However C bugs in SSL/Apache/etc are terrifying. A person jumping in and advocating RIISSL is similar (but obviously different) to jumping in and advocating for critical fixes, or perhaps even security audits.

> spending 44 days behind bars before the THC and gun charges were dropped, the contempt order got tossed and he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor pot charge. And yet he regrets nothing, because he now sees his defiance as taking a stand against the abuse of his rights.

However failing to comply with the police and then a court order seemed to work in his favor. I imagine the consequences of him committing felonies and allowing the police to get even more evidence would have been worse than just 44 days and a misdemeanor and whatever he paid his attorneys.
Avoiding scams requires being people-savvy. Tech-savvy is unrelated.
