I don't hate Java, it is a tool like any other. I only bring it up because I have extensive experience with it being used in the government realm.

It was not a passing comment. Exporting sensitive systems to other countries takes special care. There are hoops to jump through and Java made that job more difficult throughout the years. Many times you don't know a system will be exported until you have already built the system.

Additionally, Java went through a period where vulnerabilities were found frequently but the patches took time to develop and deploy.

We might start farming on protected land, replace the crops who are now getting included less into people's diets as a result of increased fruit and veg consumption (e.g. less grain intake could result), we have fertilizer, and the more that demand spikes and the more the prices increase, hydroponic solutions and greenhouses become more and more viable, as does increased genetic engineering research.

You can claim anything with a survey these days. This one says 40% of couples meet online, and 60% of same-sex couples. And that is from 2017. Anecdotally I think you are out of touch, probably because you've been out of the dating game for a decade. Less than 10%? No way. Everyone has migrated to dating apps.

> I'm not suggesting that everything is hunky-dory, just that we bear in mind the proportions of the problem. Also Pinker may well be off the mark here, as others have pointed out in[1].

Tried to find more data on this, which seems to confirm Pinker's hypothesis - https://ourworldindata.org/global-mental-health

The data seems unrepresentative, though. While data on suicide rates is fairly clear, it might be more interesting to look at revealed preferences instead of self-reported ones. To this end, indicators for "lives of despair" (drug OD deaths, hospitalisation for drug/alcohol abuse etc) might be more appropriate.

It's an interesting way to look at it just from a perspective of if something is "successful" (let's just use that term very generically).

At one point an app could arguably very popular and:

Users: This app is great!

Company: This app is yet to reach our goal X.

Parent Company: This app should do Y.

So then what is the next step? Is some sort of self destruction inevitable?

Dead-tree newspapers and TV networks, and the companies who bought ads in them, made plenty of money without any invasive ad-targeting.

Mercenary groups (ie blackwater), Palantir, for-profit prisons, Tech companies complying with federal warrants, so-on. I will give you that it's not 1:1, and I think that's a fair counterpoint to people who don't trust the US.
This sort of of article seems to come up every so often. The vast majority of programs are boring programs that are replications of business processes that were on paper in the past. The vast majority of code I have written is "if the user is from this country and they have an address show this screen". That is business rules and I would wager outside of specialist fields that is the vast majority of the work that programmers do.

Before I was a programmer I studied mechanical engineering. There is a lot of maths in that and the closest thing you get to programming is Control Engineering.
In a perfect world, someone with some backbone in leadership should be able to identify that the product isn't going to meet the company's goals, and a new sponsor should be spun off or selected to inherit the product. Examples I would point to would be Flickr finding a welcoming home (SmugMug) after being tossed from one useless org (Yahoo) to another (Oath). Or what Delicious might have been (Yahoo again).

It's unlikely such a world will ever exist, but I'm a dreamer. Don't kill what has value if it can be self-sustaining somewhere.

>I'm expecting the penalty not to be so disproportionate as to persist 15+ years after the choice

The penalty persists because the years spent pursuing goals other than those that confer useful skills and experience cannot be regained. Are you suggesting that we reward all people equally, regardless of whether they are able to demonstrate the same degree of utility?

>In the case of taking care of other people, I just can't fathom how would you find selfisness in stepping out of a job in order to take care of other people.

Selfish from the perspective that taking care of a sick loved one does not necessarily provide a benefit to society at large. More importantly, that time spent not working or learning is effectively a pause in ones growth as a professional - what is the alternative, making hiring and salary decisions by age rather than experience?

>I know plenty of people who have jobs with a much higher social utility than mine, yet make much less and suffer long periods of unemployment

This is a bit of a conflation. I am arguing over choices which do not benefit society, in which case it is reasonable that one's career value is lower. This particular problem is one of misplaced valuation in our society, as there are tangible benefits to the degrees your acquaintances pursued.
My sister in-law is quite enlightened with adopting rescued pit bulls. Unfortunately that means that for my children to play over at their cousin’s house, I have to trust that these dogs are properly confined. After a kids birthday party, the kids were playing (rough housing) and with the party clearing out, my brother in-law released the dogs. One dog (defensive of his immediate family) attempted to attack my son, who was only saved by being pinned behind a recliner.

The stereotypes are there for a reason.

Yes, the problem is that people are incapable of "making enough money"

- Enough for buying satisfied house and land AND a nice secondary room in the middle of city. So they support two main life styles. Need a peaceful time, go to house surrounding by nature. Need a party, city life, back in town.

- Enough money for commuting between places as you want

- Enough money for buying whatever objects. Get bored, go shopping

- Enough money for not worrying about it so you can do things that improve your contentment.

Well, this is not new, money solves maybe 90% of whatever problems you have right now.
I present you the latest NIMBY measure under an environmental pretense! Brought to you by Berkeley of course.

If they care so much about the environmental impact of natural gas, how about grandfathering the measure to their own houses VS the tiny fraction of new housing that gets built every year in Berkeley?

How about not making the new generation living in the Bay Area pay the burden of a housing-related policy for once?
Reading this makes we wonder if we are even the same species.

You've lost more weight than I ever weighed at my highest (while trying to gain weight during weightlifting).

2 things come to mind:

1. Being hungry all the time sucks. I hated working out when hungry, nor am I a good contributor while hungry. It makes one very irritable at small things that normally would not bother me.

> Could you, in the middle of the afternoon, eat and enjoy an extra 1500 calories and then still feel hungry for dinner?

2. Maybe my stomach is just small, but I find it incredibly hard to eat more than 1000 calories in a single meal. It would result in extreme fatigue and a 'food coma' for at least an hour. I guess it's technically possible if you only eat the highest possible density foods like meat and fat and protein powder, but that doesn't seem like a healthy diet.

Yes - they experimented with this a while back. But they dropped it because it works against the business model.
We don’t want users to trust the green check, because it never meant you could trust a site. We do want users to distrust plaintext, because it means the café you’re visiting can steal your password. I don’t see how this is a good criticism of the push for HTTPS everywhere (which appears to be the context here).
yep, just wasted 10 min on this :)
Seems like a lot of improvements could have been made here. After you get the code wrong, it should reset and send you a different code. If you get more than 3 wrong in some pre-determined time, it should lock the person out for some other pre-determined time. You could even use exponential backoff time in both scenarios. Keeping the code the same after getting it wrong just seems really stupid.

Depends on the exact nature of your question. If you want to argue on simple moral terms, both are wrong because stealing is stealing. But the "wrongness" of each action can be debated so obviously under most legal systems the punishment is not identical - and that is a related but a different conversation. But note that the punishment for stealing, in most cases, is not dependent on the personal wealth of a victim. I say most because I'm sure some pedant is going to find the odd outlier.
I get scorned for doing it this way all the time!

> Russia is a hyper regressive, anti liberal, anti democratic, low human rights, dictatorship. My interests are particularly not served by allowing companies from Russia to spy on me.

Russia is also on the other side of the globe, has a GDP that is less than Italy (despite having way more people and land), and is, essentially, irrelevant outside of online trolling and Agi-Prop.

Meanwhile the person who is going to kick down my door is a US citizen, as is the person who is going to vote to take away my healthcare.
Not necessarily.

As far as I know, both the apps you mentioned use HTTPS. However, apps have the option of doing what's called Certificate Pinning.

That's when the application ignore OS/User trust settings about certificates, and just allows a list of hardcoded certificates / certificates signed by a hardcoded CA. Akin to how SSH works (kind of...).

If I remember correctly both Telegram and Instagram have pinned their certificates, which would probably block all network communication but not allow for a MITM attack, even if the user installed the KZ root certificate.
I guess you'd have to install the certificate on your phone too. I guess that means that visitors to Kazakhstan won't have internet access during their stay, unless they install the malicious certificate on their phones as well. I really hope this doesn't set a precedent.

So uh, should I be concerned at all if my connection came back as a likely MITM from my home network in the US? Or is it most likely a false positive caused by my firewall or something?

It's a feature for developers, because it's in the code, and it doesn't break their product. It won't affect anyone but users like you and I that are developers themselves, it might break their code, but that's not Twitter's responsibility.

Dolphins are pretty smart, I have always thought that they are merely limited in their evolutionary progression by the fact that it is difficult to generate and control fire underwater (and therefore difficult to cook food, smelt metal etc.), and also difficult to domesticate oceanic creatures for agri(aqua?)culture.

This is awesome and helped me find it again! Thank you!
I can kind of relate to you. Not sure about the 10x but on the previous job I ended up working as team lead, pm, janitor, process developer, architecture guy, partially managing the infra, teaching the stuff to others etc. We had quite good team spirit and the people were generally awesome but there were management issues which broke our focus into pieces and we didn't get any real progress on the important stuff. In the end I didn't even realise how burnt-out I was (just trying to help and fix all the things for other devs so somebody could get something meaningful done) until some headhunter tried to recruit me and I started going through pros and cons. Switching to a job with a real focus has helped a lot and I learned a lot from that experience but happy to be somewhere else.

That company kind of imploded as there was about ten working when I left and now there's three guys left trying to get the work done. Luckily their focus has finally changed and tightened and there may be some good stuff brewing up so I'm cheering for them. Still missing working with those guys, though.

Yep... I wonder how common it for "sensitive" software to neither use pinned certs nor some package level signing? But probably common enough that it can be abused...
I’m not saying I never wrote bugs, but tools like SAL or RAII types that manage sharing help. By the time I checked in, they were either squashed or not found until after I left Microsoft.

I built a domain agnostic virtualization and streaming platform that generalized the “Click2Run” features of Office and could apply retroactively to any traditional app that didn’t include kernel code (e.g. worked on Adobe Creative Suite)

I also worked on the early phases of the sandbox that runs WinRT for JS, which also required paying my dues and fixing bugs or implementing new features (e.g. the fetch API) for the Trident engine in IE.

I wouldn’t consider these trivial projects.
Hmmm... I don't think so? I honestly never considered that possibility. My only concern would be accidentally leaking whether a login username/email is valid depending on your strategy for returning salt for invalid usernames. That should be able to be worked around though.

There are farmers markets and then there are "farmers" markets. The original having existed at most major transportation hubs and required for farmers to get their food to market.

That's correct, HPKP does not block this. If some application uses manual pinning, it'll work (or, rather, won't work at all).

I have the same opinion about the beauty of TLA+ vs PlusCal, so I find PlusCal frustrating to read. But I don't think the original poster was giving a dismissive opinion of PlusCal.

These new houses will probably be at least as expensive as the average house there just due to the nature of single family houses in the Bay Area.

Cooking during the whole year and heating during the winter will cost more. Those winter months will be hundreds of dollars more (possibly hundreds of dollars more per month).

The people living in these places can probably afford it just due to them being able to buy the house itself.
