Yes. In my case paying for something is however a motivation to finish it actually as there is a stream of cool distractions I could do instead. So I pay for courses with hard deadlines which forces me to study the topics. If it were for free, I'd most likely prioritize something else in its place. It also allows systematic approach that is hard to do just by interacting with peers or from books only.
I doubt any car company would recall this. There’s plenty of production cars with flaws that completely destroy the engine that were never recalled, like the north star engine Cadillac used.
Yeah, a significant chunk of IBM's workforce works remotely. So they don't have to pay cost of living for Seattle or SF. Much of their American workforce that does report to an office is in much lower COL areas like North Carolina or upstate New York.
Just because the current time is worse in some aspects doesn't mean it's worse in all.
I've been a long time user of ZFS on linux. It's got some superb features, but a lot of them are heavily aimed at servers with lots of ram and even the ability to setup SSD scratch disks for caching.

Not saying that you can't use it on a laptop, you can, but you have to be very careful with features like dedup, lest you bring your system to it's knees.

One of the other limitations was native encryption (you could put it inside a LUKS container, but it was an additional hassle), but that was finally solved in May of this year.
I've done that; this isn't the first time I've talked about this problem. HN is not a safe space, there is no room to convince anyone of anything on here, so tirades are all that's left.

We're well past your argument. It's been 11 years, it is no longer reasonable to hold your particular grudge. Get on board with the modern Python or get the hell out of the conversation.
>You mention anxiety, depression, and that you feel lazy. Is part of the problem that there's nothing you want to do right now?

Yes. On one level _want_ to earn a Security+ certificate or do a coding class part-time. I can't say for certain that they'll change my life for the better, but they seem like the _right_ thing to do for someone who has had 10 jobs but unable to begin a career.

>Of the four qualities you list, you already have the one that's mostly innate. The others you can develop.

I suppose you have a point, but I really lack the confidence and faith that if I keep trying to improve these things, then I'll see results. Because of my warped mind, moving myself in the direction of bettering myself =/= positive results, but rather new FUD, new failures, faux pas, doubts, and decline. Maybe IQ is innate, but I don't really use it, and I think I'm losing it. Depression makes my brain feel swollen and hard to grasp the right word and formulate plans. And yes, I have taken many, many medications. Most recently Buproprion and Fluoxetine. Now I've been taking 40mg Fluoxetine daily for a few months, but it doesn't help with any of the aforementioned problems. I think I continue to take it to show that I'm trying to do _something_ about this. Perhaps I should give therapy another shot. I just feel terrible and selfish spending money on it, when I think just saving a few hundred dollars a month would do more for my mental health than bawling to a shrink about my troubled teen years...

Sorry to ramble. Thank you for your reply. I will try to reconsider what I can develop.
CacheBrowser: Bypassing Chinese Firewall Without Proxies
This person was not fired and this was not their job. They were a volunteer and are stopping/resigning in protest of the actions of the company they provided free labor for. While one volunteer stopping is not a big story, it does echo the dozen or so others (perhaps more) who have also stopped in protest.

This resignation coupled with the overwhelming sentiment from the tech community that the recent actions of this company are "bad" makes this newsworthy, at least in my opinion.
Have used DynamoDB a couple times, most recently for data processing.

It is extremely expensive, for data storage and performance. Queries are limited and cumbersome to write.

If you are looking at it, put a reasonable amount of test data in and play with it too see what costs look like compared to the performance you need from it.

> Companies can sue you in court for debt right before the limit is up

Nothing wrong with that. The point of any statute of limitations is to prevent action after a period has elapsed, with the full range of remedies available before that.

Edit: why the downvotes?

Clearly many posters here do not know what a statute of limitations means, and assume it means something it doesn't.

Obviously this depends on the jurisdiction, but in general, and as mentioned, it puts a limit on how long one has to sue.

But if a lawsuit is started right before the limit then obviously the limit does not apply and the lawsuit and any court order will stand.

Nothing new here. This is how it is meant to work. Don't shoot the messenger.
Perl6 (ie raku) did do this. Sort of. They made them look a bit more like bnf grammars (or at least the way those grammars are typically written).

They ignored whitespace (and allowed them to be written over multiple lines, with comments) which made them more readable and allowed referencing regexps (stored in variables) directly within a regexp. I think they also made some of the syntax nicer (eg non capturing groups or lookaheads), and added notation for common things (e.g. like X* except everything is separated by commas) and long names for things like character classes.
Y'all are probably right at least with Craftsman, I haven't bought any Craftsman products and haven't seen their products appear in my research on the best-of-breed for * tool.

They do seem to be assembling their tools in America which is a plus for me.
I'm often guilty of this, but in this case we were all assigned similar tasks so I was quite sure it would fit.

People forcing their way into your problems are very annoying, again I know I do that at times but I've stopped doing that almost entirely and basically try to listen more than I speak.
Why won't they think about these things? Do they really don't care or is it that we don't understand something very important in making cars?! I want to know !
Every single router vendor does this. It is an issue, but it is not a google issue.
So this is the norm? I thought the only meetup.com thing I ever want to was just a bad one. Was advertised as a meetup on a very specific hobby I had recently taken up. When I got there it turned out to be more like 10 minutes of discussing that hobby and an hour of listening to a pitch about joining their hackerspace. It was pretty disappointing and I left with a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing.

While nice for supporting the development of Firefox, it adds nothing to your subjective browsing experience. As far as I understand, disabling it is also not a data point by which you could be fingerprinted.

You're taking it for granted that the reported data is adequately anonymized to the point of being impossible to make any inferences about individuals, which is a huge leap, not only in trust, but data science.

As mentioned later in the article, Mozilla is based in a country with sweeping surveillance legislation, and so should not be trusted to hold or process [potentially] personally identifying data, no matter how well intentioned they themselves may be.

I wonder if anyone here has seen any net new adoption of Oracle DBs in the last few years? It was an absolute juggernaut 10-15 years ago and has rapidly tanked their reputation and spread their business across software, services and cloud with mixed results. Is it actually still growing or just milking their stodgy enterprise customers for more money?

>I think we need a ridiculously fast interpreter so that we can skip machine code generation and linking. To me, this should be the default way of running unittest blocks for faster feedback, with programmers only compiling their code for runtime performance and/or to ship binaries to final users. This would also enable a REPL.

I am most excited about this, where a language supports two modes 1) interpreter for development, and 2) compilation for performance. Never thought about this, but reading this, it makes perfect sense on large projects
I think people thinking about using D care a lot about benchmarks. The reason "most popular frameworks" are in the middle to bottom of the list is becaue they are made with dynamic languages which are/were very popular for ease and speed of development, with a huge number of web-programming functions baked in.

On the other hand, you will note that go / rust and C frameworks (which are playing in the same field as D) are on the top of that list.

No it wouldn't. If, as an example, google.com and piracy.com both resolved to the same hash prefix, how would that help you at all? The whole point is that the server sending the blacklist doesn't get the details of the page that's being visited. piracy.com/info, google.com/searchingstuff, and whatthefuck.com/isthis might all have the exact same hash prefix. They don't because I just pulled that out of my rear to use as an example but there's no way for someone to ascertain the content of a website just form the prefixes of these hashes. The browser doesn't even send the details.
I like my routers dumb and without a speaker and microphone.
A luddite, generally, is one who is anti-technology. A Luddite, specifically, is a member of a 19th century movement to prevent automation from taking their job.

Tbf, C was big way before Google even existed (and nobody expects "Clang" to mean C, unlike D or Go). And even if it obviously didn't cause Go to fail, it's still something annoying when googling up about Go, because "Golang" doesn't always work.
It's impossible to actually anonymize telemetry data, they can only promise they don't tie the data to your IP, FF account, or any other data their servers can't help but know specifically about you. A quick search will reveal plenty of historic examples of breaking promises just like that one, with very little repercussion.

Even though it might sound absurd, Tesla actually applied a "cloud thermostat" approach to car engineering, by which I mean that they did not refrain from using basically consumer-grade equipment for some critical functions of their cars. This is especially evident when looking at comparable cases of part failure, like the infamous touchscreen failures: https://www.thedrive.com/tech/27989/teslas-screen-saga-shows...

You are absolutely right in that this failure should not have happened, because they should use some other medium to store their logs that is not getting cramped by increasingly bigger firmware versions and that is appropriately sized and engineered to withstand at least a century or two of heavy usage. But since cloud thermostat and media player box vendors also get away with just stuffing some embedded Linux distro on a single chip of the cheapest Flash they can find on the spot market, Tesla probably didn't put much thought into why they shouldn't just do the same. After all, this system is just a media player box mounted in a car, right?

(Except that for some totally absurd reason, the car ceases to function entirely if its media system breaks, which is the next big WTF in this story...)

In Switzerland Healthcare is free.

BTW Zurich is expensive, of course it is, it's one of the most expensive cities in the world, but it's also very small, you can live in the metropolitan area surrounding it and spend a lot less.

You could live in Zug or in beatifull St. Gallen and still be 100% in Switzerland, with all the benefits of living there.

In the valley there are no rules, in Switzerland tech workers are not gentrifying the land, families (especially with kids), single moms and other categories are protected so you can't push them out with money, they will have precedence when renting a house.

And everything is very close in Switzerland.

Everything includes (in alphabetical order) Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein.

Wow, talk about making me not want to move to Switzerland. Granted, I'm not in the bay area but...

1. Accommodation prices seem about the same where I live.

2. I work 40 hours a week too

3. 20 minute bus ride for me so no "2 hour commute".

4. 120,000 CHF for a senior? I make over 200,000 and I have less than 4 years of experience. That would be a huge pay cut.

5. 35% income taxes + state? This is just blatantly false as effective federal income tax rate doesn't hit 35% until over a million. I for example paid just 22% in federal income taxes including social security and medicare.

6. My biweekly copay is just $50. Granted, I am on a high deductible plan but the deductible is only 1300 with a max out of pocket limit of 2600 a year and I have a health savings account which allows me to save/invest 100% tax free income for health care spending.

It's the systematic approach to business problems that makes an MBA worth pursuing. I finished my MBA program last year and I couldn't be happier with the breadth of knowledge it helped me acquire. Some other comments are also true: MBA will provide lots of opportunities to meet with the giants in your field and make connections. Internships also contribute a lot to your future job prospects.

I've also come to really appreciate the "don't re-invent the wheel" phrase. Most MBA courses include a number of case studies that are your most precious source of information about real events in the business sector and how those led to peculiar problems and the creative solutions that were thought of to solve those problems.

In this sense, an MBA is much different than just crunching financial numbers to calculate NPV, etc. Hope this helps!

You're right and it's something that's related to the Lindy effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect). "The Lindy effect is a theory that the future life expectancy of some non-perishable things like a technology or an idea is proportional to their current age, so that every additional period of survival implies a longer remaining life expectancy."

If there are trademark issues, it's important for all of us to use it as a generic term immediately. I remember years ago some people organized a meetup using Twitter and called it a Tweet-up.

That and their support is terrible. I had a google wifi AP die 3 days outside of its 1 year hardware warranty and their support told me, nothing I could do but throw it in the trash. They don’t repair them and wouldn’t replace it for me. Google also doesn’t have a great track record of long term support for hardware devices. Although with Nest division that might be different.

One of the problems with the nature of macroeconomic / statistical thinking is it removes any humanity from the decision, because we focus on just numbers. Anytime we discuss policy as citizens, we really need to keep in mind that every 1 in a number represents an actual individual which an actual family and life and life experiences.

An example is raising the social security age from 65 to 67. How many lives did that simple change affect? What repercussions did that have on that individual's family? We don't really think about it, we just think about it's effects on the bottom line.
