Higher Education and academia;

Apparently, maybe that's more of a local thing, there are no job offerings in industry* for Physics BSc or MSc other than web development or data science, since most R&D Jobs either require experience and/or a PhD.

Although I chose Physics mostly due to my curiosity, desire to understand how things work and the romantic idea of working in large scale physics experiments or performing researched that mattered.

I soon realized, after working in different groups over 3-4 years, that academic R&D is fully driven by the publishing frenzy and scientific rigor is sidelined most of the times.

Naively, I assumed that this was mostly due to the fact that I was not at PhD-level, and thought that the academic research world was not like this.

I applied and got a PhD grant at a different institution, and to my surprise+shock nothing really changed, other than the added weight of pseudo-responsibility that was bestowed upon me.

Maybe I have been unlucky, but the work just feels empty most of the time and void of any of the "spark" that initially got me into physics(and higher education for that matter).

With that in mind, I should have pursued a CS, EE, Math degree or a professional/technical degree.

Ironically, I'm currently pursuing a new master's degree in parallel with my PhD in an attempt to pursue a job in a different area(non physics academic research/webdev/data science).

It's been popularized, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

It has spread fairly organically because it's not a bad starting point for a philosophy of life. I was introduced to the concept through Tim Ferris' podcast. He suggested as "a good default OS for your mind". I was having some personal difficulties at the time, and it really helped.

It also tends to slot in quite well alongside mindfulness practices, which have also become popular lately.
As if that portal would somehow be more secure?
Google's classic canned response of "We've confirmed we're right, we will not tell you why and this is the last reply you'll receive" is one of the most infuriating things I can imagine.

Government-run portals are not immune to hacking.
Yes - it's essential for debugging.

Your mental model tells you that if the system is in a given state, and receives a given input, what "should" happen. You can then look for evidence whether those things happened and narrow down a bug.

It also works the other way. If, given this input, that happened, your mental model tells you what the system state must have been. That can help you work backwards to identify a bug that put the system into a bad state.
>this nearly passive resistance to be effective

My entire point is to be active about the resistance. Don't just stop using something. Tell others to stop using and say why. Cease any and all contact with that media channel.

The only way this works is when the right thing to do also happens to be the profitable thing to do.
Can we all collectively find a way to authenticate videos as they are recorded?
Official videos are “easy”: store the hash and length in a public blockchain. Gives it a verified timestamp as well as being “signed” by the official wallet. Then videos can be hashed later to verify that it’s untouched.

But, security cameras?
How fast can scancount be?
Sheesh. I've taken the same approach though, I still use my normal CCs for almost every transaction, just wanted to see what Apple Card was all about.

The fact that it doesn't have a web interface or any way I can tie it into my financial reporting services/apps is a major turn-off.
If you can modify the kernel, you could modify binfmt_elf.c in the case of the Linux kernel, and log out the load address to dmesg or something like that.

Another alternative, which I believe are both options available with PIN and DynamoRIO, is to implement or use an existing ELF loader, forking yourself, and loading in the target binary of interest at a known location.

Analysis Paralysis. I don't think I have any bigger wasted-time-sink in my life then over analysis/planning/selection.

* Loosing an entire evening trying to find the best library/language/engine/etc for a side project idea, rather then actually getting the idea going.

* Loosing entire days trying to find the best design/structure for a project rather then adding features.

* Loosing hours comparing and reading reviews for trivial purchases.

* Designing and redesigning an idea over and over in my head or on paper, but never getting it started as the design wasn't done/perfect.

* Rewriting a side-project in a new language because it will be faster, more organized, more elegant, etc... rather then actually finishing it and releasing it.

* Waiting for the perfect conditions, weather, time, mood, etc to do something.

While I agree that most synthetic benchmarcks are mostly not representative for the real world, there is a benchmarck suite for real world.

That is benchmarcking most used ALEXA websites.
It's named TP 5 and TP6, mozilla use it internally (e. G to measure progress on stylo)
Why is the real world (TP5/6) not public??
Phoronix has never used it, mozilla has never publicly published benchmarcks.
I guess they favor chromium but I've never seen all results only the few mozillians posted on bugzilla.
Let the world know, publish the results, even if it favor chromium.
Anyway the mainstream will never be affected by that public information (most people have difficulties discerning a search engine from the concept of browser, let alone talking about benchmarcks)
It's much more logical and moral to let the bad people kill you, so that you can maintain your integrity into death.

A. It's pretty dumb to fail an live coding interview assignment for that reason.

B. Yes, mental models are absolutely critical.

A better interview assignment to test mental models would be to architect a data model or system. No code, just concepts and relationships.

On meaningfully sized non-FizzBuzz problems, starting by banging out code is like starting a vacation by getting in the car and driving. A better use of time is upfront thinking about possible plans, pros, and cons.

> Q: How does dqlite behave during conflict situations? Does Raft select a winning WAL write and any others in flight writes are aborted?

> A: There can’t be a conflict situation. Raft’s model is that only the leader can append new log entries, which translated to dqlite means that only the leader can write new WAL frames. So this means that any attempt to perform a write transaction on a non-leader node will fail with a ErrNotLeader error (and in this case clients are supposed to retry against whoever is the new leader).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that essentially the same limitation WAL mode in normal sqlite has? With WAL you can have as many reads going on as you like, in parallel to a single write. That seems directly comparable to what the dqlite FAQ says, unless I'm missing something.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s Account Hacked
>If it's this easy to hack Trump's Twitter account and say things that could trigger war

I think before going to war with a super power, a country will check with various diplomatic channels if that was really what was said. In addition, if war could be triggered by a tweet, stuff isn't going so well anyway. With the possible exception of North Korea, I can't think of a single country that would go to war with the United States over any possible tweet by the President or anyone else, even if the tweet was real.
OP here. Can't edit the post anymore, but I would add the following points:

* Following mainstream news -- Lots of clickbait, glad I don't do it anymore.

* Watching random YouTube videos -- however, I've also stumbled upon some great videos that have had huge positive impact on my life (and not only mine)

* Tracking currency exchange rates trying to save few bucks

* Buying cheap electronics -- time you spent fighting with it just doesn't worth the savings, unless you're in dire need

I think you probably should build a mental model. The way I see it the code/compile/debug loop style of programming is a bit like a gradient descent. You are probably going to fall into whatever solution pops up rather than really thinking about what makes sense.

With that being said no one is smart enough to not use a debugger.
I mantain a small page about Stoicism: http://pa-mar.net/Lifestyle/Stoicism.html

I would not consider myself an expert but I think that the original texts are perfectly fine (in a recent translation, of course) and do not really need neither transposing the examples to modern times, nor a lot of interpretation.

They were designed to work for humans, no matter what power they had (i.e. they can be useful to a slave or an emperor, and anything in between) and are pretty pragmatic without any need for elaborate conceptual frameworks.
My Capital One Visa card is exactly the same so its not just Apple.
The feature you want is called "counter depth" - I bought a new fridge just yesterday, and I chose this style. Its shelves are much wider than they are deep, so it's easy to see what's inside all at once. Its capacity is lower than the standard-sized fridge I used to have, but I'd rather store less stuff and use more of it.
You’re right, nothing is risk free. In finance though, the three month US Treasury bill yield is considered the risk-free rate. The only reason why this matters is that the risk-free rate is built into almost all financial equations and models.

The Bubble Has Always Been in Active Management
The world feels very uncertain for the middle-class these days, especially in an economic sense, which is one that strikes right at the heart of one's "locus of control". It doesn't offer the same kind of promise or opportunity as it did 40 years ago, and risks are advertised constantly. Stoic teachings have broad applicability: Epictitus(my favorite flavor) says to control the things you can control, and to not worry about the rest.

There is a patriarchal thread to some of this, as Stoicism could be interpreted in a "men's rights" sense of asserting dominion and gender roles. But focusing on "the way things should be" is rather a false way of going about it, since there's also a thread of mutually respecting struggle and self-mastery in the Stoic philosophers. There isn't a point in Stoicism where the status quo ever becomes OK, where you are "good enough". There is only another form of struggle to be had.
Colloquialisms exist. If you insist on assuming that everyone intends only the strict dictionary definitions of words, you're going to (continue to) get in silly misunderstandings.

When people say "free health care," they don't mean literally free, they mean you won't receive a bill after treatment. Maybe you don't like that usage. I don't like it when people use "literally" to mean "a whole lot." The language doesn't care what either of us likes.
Not positive, but it definitely looks different from the marketing materials (even those still being used).

> They do need funding or they wouldn't put ads in node modules

That's a tautology. They decided to monetize their open-source work through ads. I don't disagree with this approach, if users don't like the ads then don't use the software. That doesn't mean companies need to arbitrarily fund that project.

> Before they can write good software they're going to practice writing all kinds of dumb shit and good stuff building the experience and knowledge required to invent a kubernetes.

So what? They can write lots of practice software and not open-source it. Why should anyone be paying for them to do so?

> The problem with it coming to a grinding halt is we're obviously not finished yet. In ten years React should be in the trash like literally everything that preceded it is. We might still be using Flash if we were finished. Its syntax sure looks like it lent TypeScript some ideas.

If it should be so then it will be so. People will write software if there is a need for it. There is no inherent reason why React "should" be in the trash in 10 years, it will be in the trash only if new problems need to be solved and if they do someone will attempt to solve them.

> redirecting traffic, encrypted, via a popular CDN would be a good way to hide it

True, but wouldn't that lead western three letter agencies to an account with a credit card attached? Sure, criminals can get stolen cards, but I imagine those have a limited lifespan and chasing after payment problems is not what the hacker wants to be doing.
> overdesigned

Underdesigned in this case. When thinking in terms of "designed to fail" this is seriously egregious. Having the most expensive phone with every useless widget you can throw in is one thing, but being forced to show off a shiny but pathetically impossible to maintain product because it would simply break if handled normally is really stretching it to the limits.

This is an example of X-Megacorp making a shitty product and then blaming the consumer for not being willing or able to keep it as a status symbol.

That's why we have so many "awesome" phones out there with cracked up screens. Look around and you can't miss them. Shit products at a premium, when the "lesser" models are clearly better.
Fully homomorphic public key encryption is the solution. We need such a crypto that hides the instructions and operands but does not alter the visible arity of instructions, and allow arithmetic operations on operands.
I don't think it's a good idea to start the implementation firmly planted in the trees of the forest you're trying to see.

I think it's best to start with something like an outline. This could be comments, tests, sparse pseudo-code, or some level of documentation that explains what you're trying to do.

Once you have a rough idea of the pieces that are required and will roughly fit together, understanding the consequences of the decisions you make while implementing those pieces will come more naturally, and can help prevent rework. Most architecture mistakes, and often bugs, are from not understanding the consequences, which isn't really possible without having the mental model.

Agreed, with the addition that North Korea wouldn't go to war with the US over a tweet either.
Some forms of 2FA are unphishable. If he used Authy or SMS, where you type in a code that can be intercepted in replayed within a window, yes. If he had set up a hardware key like U2F (like a yubikey), no.

I see, I think we agree with each other, we are looking at things from a different angle is all. Thanks for the clarification, I do want Mozilla to succeed, we need other similar orgs to come out and be willing to compete with tech giants like Google as well, maybe Apache, but they're too busy being a giant corporate project dumping ground I suppose.
Been a supporter of Pod Hunt since the day it launched, decided to have my podcast (The Better Show) become an official Pod Hunt "Supporter", and spent over an hour last night with it's founder, Mubs, on Skype talking product direction.

I can't stress how critical it is to build better podcast discovery mechanisms for the medium to continue to grow and thrive. Right now, most podcast discovery is self-reinforcing already successful podcasts. This is neither good for podcasters, or listeners. For new podcasts, its extremely hard to grow/learn, and for listeners it limits the ability to show them how broad and diverse the podcasting world is (which is one of its core strengths, there is something for EVERYONE!)

After my call with Mubs, I'm super excited to see where Pod Hunt goes in the future.
Maybe I misunderstand what you're talking about, but wouldn't this manifest when you ask questions and talk about your approach?

What product are you referring to?
What feeling is that?
In my case it's not about uncertainty. I am rich, I've got cash, I've assets. I can buy whatever I want, I can use and consume any forbidden drug.

They sell me fake world. Then my fake world breaks like a shattered mirror and suddenly I am helpless, feeling pain, depressed, turning towards drugs.

Why I am so unhappy with my life? Because I am not born with exceptionally good looks, I see my girlfriend chasing guy who looks better than me but isn't as successful as me? Should I be happy about it? The girls who come for me, want resources - they fake love well. Suddenly, love disappears if I stop paying bills.

As a man with means, I can choose to take mind altering drug and numb myself down but I choose to handle psychological pain through philosophy and self realization.

I want to accept things as they are. I don't feel wronged, betrayed, I don't hold grudge towards anyone. I accepted the fact, what people are doing around me are doing whatever they want to do, whatever they feel serves their interest. This way of thinking can't be toxic.

The ones I thought I loved, cheated on me with prisoner (life destroyed but looks big and dangerous), another cheated with some banker (huge debts but exceptionally good looks)

I have a coping saw labeled "FOOD USE ONLY".

It's mainly used to cut sashimi slices from a fillet without thawing the fish first. It goes in the fridge with bite-sized nigiri-sushi rice wads, and is defrosted by lunch time the next day.
