It's funny, because people who code assembly and embedded systems are exactly the type of people well-suited for remote work.
Makes sense. Macao is fairly underwhelming when compared to Vegas. Chinese must be gambling elsewhere.
There are two distinct threat levels:

1. the mostly anonymized logs that require a technically difficult crack and would impact many thousands (millions?) of people simultaneously.

2. activity that can be tied directly back to individuals by anyone with time on their hands.

You're absolutely right that there are servers maintaining logs and such, that aren't accessible, but they fall into #1. And category #1 can happen, the famous cheating website being cracked as a great example. But that was itself relatively exceptional since simply being a user was enough to end in divorce.

The Slack message history distinctly falls into #2. It's a far more immediate problem.

I’m a versatile designer that can tackle many needs. I’ve specialized in UI/UX Design in the last years by designing responsive websites, mobile apps, and even ATMs with a user-centered and iterative approach, but my background as a Graphic Designer has given me experience with branding identity and marketing collateral as well.

I have previous experience working remotely and autonomously. If you want to see some of my work, contact me!

If we didn't let scaremongerers ruin nuclear with politics we could have had a 100% carbon-neutral (I don't count transportation because we can move to electric vehicles) grid with more cheap power available than we could find a use for by now.

Nuclear is statistically the safest form of energy in terms of deaths/kWh and waste storage is massively overblown, not even accounting for how we could be recycling that waste in new plant designs if it weren't for the fubar politics around it.
Depends on the industry. I work in robotics and remote work is difficult. Almost every engineer needs to work with actual physical things that move and break. Motor controllers dying, cameras lenses getting smacked out of alignment, wires getting pulled, test circuits going up in smoke, these aren't things that are easy to deal with from a distance.

In general, it's also embedded systems that are (a) most difficult to remotely flash and test and (b) most easy to irreversibly damage if you're not in front of them during the testing process.
I find these threads a good way to be aware of interesting tech stacks being used and companies I might not otherwise have read about.

I once talked to a CTO of a local company without the primary intention of working there purely out of curiosity. I did end up working there as the other company I was accepted at had a hiring freeze for a month or more. I turned out to be a great place to be. New (to me) Rails stack, Go microservices when it wasn't so common and scaling challenges.

> reading up the logs for even a single channel isn't a reasonable way to invest your time.

I'm beginning to feel this way about everything. Reddit, Twitter, social media in general...

The hoarder mentality likes for this stuff to still exist in the hopes it might one day be useful. In fact, it has very little value.

Snapchat got it right when they started with ephemerality.
Absolutely. I posted a message on a 'Who wants to be Hired' thread and was contacted about a month later by a lead developer who was hiring for a fully remote front-end developer position. After a few video chats and a 2-hour take-home coding exercise they extended an offer that I accepted.

I've been there for about 10 months and it's been a wonderful experience. Working remotely has literally changed my life, and the team members I work with are all fantastic people.

There are great companies out there and it's definitely worth posting. Good luck!
Just hope this doesn't snowball

This is quite an indictment of the security community.
Bill Gates Thoughts on Linux in 2003
It's a little different in that case, since the person using the parser is also the person writing the input to the parser. So if the input fails the parser, the author of the code can simply correct it. As I understand it, there's no single standard that captures how all robots.txt files are formatted, so there's no "standard parser" that the authors of these files could be expected to pass.

Amazon took that to heart. Seems to have worked out for them.
According to NASA, "A quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide"

"Studies have shown that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide increase photosynthesis, spurring plant growth."

"Results showed that carbon dioxide fertilization explains 70 percent of the greening effect, said co-author Ranga Myneni, a professor in the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University. “The second most important driver is nitrogen, at 9 percent. So we see what an outsized role CO2 plays in this process.”"

Of note: CSIRO appears to have lost some of its independence under Australia's current government[1], probably because "we're harming the planet" doesn't help sell coal[2]. The UN (and virtually every national scientific body) consider desertification (alongside water misuse and land degradation, both of which precede desertification) to be a serious concern[3].

Edit: To be clear, that doesn't mean these results are fabricated or incorrect. I'm calling into question the decision to emphasize them over the overwhelmingly negative effects of climate change on Australia[4].

Right. In a way, Android in 2019 feels like more forward, experiment-friendly environment. Some Android features get adopted into iOS later. It contradicts Apple's branding, but it is how it is. For Apple it's more about stability and privacy now.
I thought about this. My watch needs to tell me (no matter were I am, by using GPS) what time are the most common for meals and what time is my meeting with the locals. What numbers it assigns to these are not material, but UGMT would make the most sense.
I once made a trip south of Chicago. Got to my destination in Indiana. I could not make sense of the miles per hour I realized for the trip. Then later on I realized that Indiana has two time zones and I had gained an extra hour between Gary and Indianapolis.
Sure did. If I recall correctly (this was about 5 years ago), I probably had 3-4 phone interviews / tech screens out of it, and got hired at a really great place (Mavenlink).

I'm not too familiar with this space, so please excuse my question. What is OAuth2 server is?

I was under the impression that for a given service/API typically OAuth2 is implemented by the provider on their servers, either from scratch or using some sort of library.

With an OAuth2 server are you running a separate server or is it an internal service that your application code connects to (and forwards requests?) when OAuth related requests come in?

A diagram of how an OAuth2 server fits into an application architecture and a visualization of an OAuth flow in it would greatly help here.

The only tool the space alien's PM has is a deadline. "Do X by this date or else." Because he has no hope for understanding the true problem domain before the project deadline -- just like a space alien can't be expected to learn english in 4 days.

A PM with a deep understanding of the software process, can ask insightful questions, identify and possibly mitigate many of the issues beforehand. So when it gets to the software lackeys, many of the resource/architectural issues may have been solved.

It's mainly about security. We keep our stuff off of computers that can reach the internet. I get two computers at my desk, one for random internet junk and one for real work.

I happen to like the side-effect on work-life balance. Nobody will ever expect me to do a bit more work at home. When I go home, I'm totally off work. I also get paid overtime, so I'm not getting cheated at the office either.

It's also somewhat about physical hardware. Remote use of screw drivers and soldering irons is difficult.

The title of the article confuses me. I'm hoping it was chosen to emphasise the high level of candid banter in the dialogue, rather than trying to get the audience to empathise with a misogynistic judgement of the female participant. What do others think?

I remember these so well. I remember logging into someone's BBS and immediately getting social anxiety when the SysOp would randomly start chatting with me.

Kubernetes Journey – Up and Running Out of the Cloud – Introduction
Depends where you want to go in the city and what you want to do. Portland has some hellish traffic at times, and free parking isn't as plentiful as you describe. The inner suburbs all have metered parking on 2+ lane streets, and extremely competitive side street parking. Plus, the west side suburbs have zoned parking to keep out non-locals: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/39277

Taking a bike is a much easier thing to do if you want easy access to the inner burbs and urban core of Portland.

The greenhouse that I built in preschool agrees as well.

(Foxes are canids, but not canines.)
We started by building some new functionality with Elixir. For example, a new read-only GraphQL API. Later, we might begin performing mutations and writes, serving all HTTP requests with Phoenix, and handling asynchronous jobs.

Although Elixir solves some of our problems, we don't want to rewrite things for the sake of rewriting them. That's why will probably keep things which work fine in terms of maintainability, scalability, etc. for now to move fast and learn more about the system and the domain (to avoid rewriting wrong features or right features rebuilt wrong).

The InterPlanetary File System is a thing, it just isn't interplanetary yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System
When I was young I played video games like they were an open world full of mysteries I was uncovering by myself, as the first and only explorer.

Then I realized all the little things I was discovering were actually known by everybody else. Specially, they were made by someone else.

As I grew old I kept thinking about how to make a game that would have secrets no one knew, not even the game maker. But that's impossible, not even Dwarf Fortress or similar very complex games where you can do basically almost anything are like that.

Every game is just a treasure hunt made by some adult for kids to play -- and that is very depressing.
