In addition to the other replies, there's more to a font than the shapes of the letters. "You get what you pay for" correlates even more strongly with things like hinting (internal instructions of how to try to align with pixel edges) than it does with the immediately visible appearance of the letterforms.

That's not a consideration for everyone, admittedly, but an incredibly important one for those who _do_ have to take it into account.
I have a bit of an off-topic question for anybody who writes Rust.

I'm more familiar with web development and higher level languages, but I've always been interested in Rust.
While I know a bit of C/C++, I'm far from an expert. One of the things that turns me off from those languages are the frequent use of really short or cryptic variable/function names.

I'm looking at this codebase, specifically https://github.com/hsiaosiyuan0/naive/blob/master/src/lib/to..., and I see stuff like `let (s, kv, vk, be) = gen_map!`. I have no clue what those variables would be unless I dug around the rest of the file.

Is this sort of variable/method naming convention common in the Rust world? I am not criticizing the author or the language here, merely just curious what I should expect if I dipped my toes into Rust.
I'm not sure the author was berating the photographers for ruining the view for others. I read it as revealing the hypocrisy of the photographers shouting at kayakers for doing the thing they were currently doing themselves.
Both MQTT and HTTP are built on top of TCP sockets.

Julius Caesar "Gallic Wars" is certainly worth reading, translated from Latine to French, so probably, the English version is very good also.

In French, some of the best ones include Chateaubriand "Mémoires d'outre Tombe" (Memoirs from Beyond the Grave), the epic life story of a French writer from the American Independence war to the end of the French monarchy mid nineteen's century.
Didn't the article repeatedly advise that the best way to earn trust was to do the right thing?

That was feasible in a world where every computer was air-gapped because there was no such thing as the Internet. Now every app needs to stay up to date for security reasons, even if it doesn't directly use the internet itself.
One of those efforts is druid. I'm deliberately choosing not to make a lot of noise on social media yet, but I suggest people actively looking for native GUI in Rust take a closer look. Our team (currently two people funded full time, a GSoC student, plus a growing, dedicated community) is solving the hard problems, and we're on the hook for delivering a basic font editor by the end of the year. The webpage and demos don't look impressive yet, but this is because we're currently focusing on building out the core.
This sounds interesting but I’m curious if needs to be marketed differently or use some better analogies, since it wasn’t super obvious what it did from the homeless.

I presume it’s hard to explain how it fits into the stack when it does a lot of generic IoT sounding stuff.
I'd argue that it diverges not only across different users, but is also variable over time - as other tools, customer expectations, user expectations, paradigms of interfaces and human-computer interactions change, there is some amount of new features and changes which needs to be done not to lose touch.

Of course if we could isolate the whole domain the application fits in from external influence there might be a stable optimum feature set, but I don't think that's how it works in practice.

> Betrayals of trust have major financial consequences.

LOL at the tone-deafness of the article. Why would/should people trust a bureaucracy that tries to put profit above people?

The other funny thing is whether readers trust advice from B-school professors. Arguably, a lot of the current ails of modern business (including the public's lack of trust in them) result from following wisdom professed by B-school faculty in MBA courses.

> So our need to trust and be trusted has a very real economic impact. More than that, it deeply affects the fabric of society. If we can’t trust other people, we’ll avoid interacting with them, which will make it hard to build anything, solve problems, or innovate.

They've got the priority order backwards.

> Facebook's UI has changed significantly over the last 15 or so years. Features have appeared and disappeared, boxes have been arranged and rearranged. But there's rarely a big fuss beyond it getting a little slower each time (roughly commensurate with consumer hardware speedup, in fact). People don't really notice and they don't really care.

Are you using the same Facebook as I do? Every time they rearranged more than a single button there was an uproar. People do care, but there's exactly nothing they can do except whining. Facebook doesn't care, and people won't leave because their friends are there.
Judging from the state of affairs in the two states in question – the Ukraine and Russia – I highly doubt Russia would be the first one to collapse.

It means concurrency and pattern matching is not really critical for the community as it is for other language communities. There is no insult, but generally speaking an average C++ developer has deeper knowledge than an average Java developer which essentially means C++ developer is somewhat comfortable with traditional concurrency toolkit like threads.
These interview questions are administrated by everyone at Google, so I just picked one used on me after assuring that it wasn't in any public database. The problem is apparently significantly harder than what interviewers typically get, I didn't know that when I picked it. However I don't think it is a bad question, seeing people struggle with hard problems gives a lot of strong signals as well. Also compared with other interviewers I tend to be on the nicer side of grading, so it is not like getting a hard problem hurts them.

As far as I know, most of these payment networks don't extend credit to customers in the same way that Visa's network enables. Consumer credit is a very powerful force that is often under-appreciated, and that benefits all parties involved in a transaction (e.g., consumers, merchants, and banks).

Approaching age 50, there are a lot more "I should have walked away sooners" than "I should have stuck with thats" in the rear view mirror.

But I can't say it's generally good advice to walk away frequently because I'm not sure what the outcome of so much walking away would have been.
An IP address counts as personal data, so that means you can't use any PaaS without having a privacy policy and vetting your platform's policy (which requires legal skills), just because they might keep the logs.
I went to a technical college on Multimedia Development. Classes were anything from video editing to object oriented programming. One of the first programming class was HTML&CSS and the other one was JS. A lot of people would understand JS but get stuck in HTML&CSS. I already knew the basics so I helped a lot of people. Unless you understand it at first sight, it's hard to grok.

And then it's very hard to master. Complex responsive layouts are hard to get right.

There's Lumberyard which you could say is a fork of CryEngine. But in general I don't see studios lining up to use either of the two.

Also the idTech engine is limited to games that are published by Bethesda. So you can count it as an in-house engine now, just like Frostbite is for EA.
I would say it's more generic than that. Not all the data is for EU citizens, and not all the data has photos and fingerprints. What dangerface quoted from the euobserver[1] seems to be the best approach, maybe make it shorter... As I said in another comment, I would emphasize more on the "classified" than "personal information", but that's only me (I would say Facebook has way more info on "normal" people than what's in the SIS database).

There's also the issue of "copied to US", which was not demonstrated. It's really hard to keep all the US companies out of the SIS when you are using an Oracle database.

I would put it like this: "UK made illegal copies of classified personal information from the Schengen Information System"

Part of the problem is that it's become a completely different and independent body of knowledge. And you often have to learn a how a specific hosting stack (AWS, or whatever) works on top of that.

Some people find it really interesting. Personally, my eyes glaze over when I try to learn that stuff. It's literally the most boring stuff in the world to me. Oh, I'm supposed to be able to figure out why our DNS configuration is working because I also wrote some database queries 10 levels up in the stack? No thank you, I'd rather just find a new career.

> It takes a long pause from stress for you mind and body to stop over-producing stress hormones.

I can vouch for this, I feel like I have been permanently damaged from a multi-year stressful job.

Speaking of stress hormones, does anyone in this thread know if there's some quantitative way to measure stress hormone levels, even if it's only somewhat accurate?

The best real relief I've managed to find is microdosing psilocybin combined with meditation, this seems to allow me to see right through my negative beliefs & perceptions, but also largely eliminate the ongoing ~unavoidable mental/emotional (eventually manifesting in physical) reactions to them. It feels like it allows me to mostly not give a fuck about things like normal people. Perhaps something the grandparent should look into.

I've always felt the common relationship between employer/employee was strange. One one hand you have employers who demand loyalty and commitment, on the other you have employees who have the "i've worked here so long, you owe me" mentality. To me, unless your paycheck bounces then your employer doesn't owe you anything. As for employees, unless you're cheating your employer out of what they're getting for their money then employees owe their employer nothing.

if you go to work, do your job as per the job description and contract you signed and, in return, your employer compensates you per the contract then the deal is square.

The "relationship" from business to customer is even more ridiculous. From my perspective as a customer, i'm giving you money in exchange for something of equal value subject to the terms of deal. That's it. To say an organization is a "trusted friend", whether for-profit or not, is crazy.
Here is an example from The Black Swan (cloze deletion)

{{c1::The Platonic fold}} is the explosive boundary where the Platonic mind-set enters in contact with messy reality, where the gap between what you know and what you think you know becomes dangerously wide. It is here that the Black Swan is produced.

Here is a basic card I read and decide if this is info I have forgotten or if I knew about this:

“We had observed a real-estate transaction that takes place each night when we sleep. Fitting the notion of a long-wave radio signal that carries information across large geographical distances, the slow brainwaves of deep NREM had served as a courier service, transporting memory packets from a temporary storage hold (hippocampus) to a more secure, permanent home (the cortex). In doing so, sleep had helped future-proof those memories.”

on the other hand, its SQL backend modules insist on fetching a password and comparing them using their own functionality and there's no way to get to the the user's typed password into a custom query.

Rather than protecting themselves, it's more likely that the author of the software desires that their software is only used for legal or ethical purposes, and that clause is their attempt to require that.

It's fair for a software author to not want their software used to make the world worse. I think you have a very different interpretation of "charitable interpretation" than I do.

As for embargoes - sure. It's just an example. There are plenty of other less morally ambiguous things too.

Edit: launcher part.
It's very simple: because the companies don't need to pay high salaries to their developers. Why should they? There's countless developers lining up for these jobs, so if one person gets burnt out and quits, there's 5 more ready to take his place. This is simple supply-and-demand.

Tell me, why should companies pay top dollar for that talent when people are so happy to work their asses off for less? It doesn't make any business sense.

And no, we shouldn't have any sympathy for these developers (not the ones who have easily transferable skills). They're choosing this career path out of their own free will, at a time when there's tons of very boring software jobs out there practically begging them to come to work there, and offering huge salaries and good work hours too. These people just don't want those jobs because they aren't "fun", and don't involve games.

It's really simple: you have highly-sought-after software development skills, so you can either be abused and work in a game sweatshop, or you can go to work making boring CRUD apps in a nice company where the pay is high and the stress is low. If you choose the former, I have zero sympathy for you.

This is completely true, but that doesn’t mean we should have to accept it as a static unchangeable property of this society. Corporate charters can be changed. The legal model of corporations can be altered to place other values (such as environmental stewardship, equality, privacy, etc.) ahead of raw shareholder profit. In fact, this was literally the result of the FTC’s latest decision on Facebook, which required a privacy committee on the board of directors independent from the shareholder majority (Zuckerberg).
We can choose to enact a better model of corporations for society.

That's conflating maintenance with change.

There are really two distinct types of updates - one that's patching up security holes and ensures the software keeps running on modern systems; the other adds and removes features. They ought to be distinct.

The lawn analogy is not apt, because software left alone does not change at all. It's one of the most stable things in the universe. The environment changes, slowly, and at some point adaptations are needed.

Its not just mental health that stress affects, but physical health too. I had stomach problems for a long time that seem to have been caused by stress and went away when I eliminated much of the stress. It was never concretely confirmed that it was stress related, but my doctors didn’t object to the idea either.

I absolutely agree that taking other peoples personal strategies without making sure they will work for you is unhealthy.

It's true that updates are neccessary.

However I think it's not about teaching people. What about children and the elderly? You can't teach them.

After all, are computers and software specialized tools for professionals? This has not been true for the majority since the millennium the least.

I have to admit that I don't have an easy answer. I just see that the relentless changes and updates are not well received by many people and I am afraid they aren't completely off in this case.

It doesn't natter. At some point, they changed their mind and didn't disclose it to investors. The investor suit would point out that when plans changed, investors were not notified and therefore were denied the opportunity to act on information that represented a risk to their investment. Public corporations are required to disclose risks. This is partly where Matt Levine's "everything is securities fraud" line of thinking comes from. The argument is that they knew, or should have known, that there was a risk, and risks must be disclosed.
