So you don't consider people who volunteer to build houses for the homeless as labor? (I am not comparing myself to them!) What I experienced was the same level of stress as after moving a two bedroom apartment in one day. Call that what you will.

About 10 people privately messaged me that they appreciated my effort in keeping the conversation civil and helping everyone be heard.

> Proclamations of emotional "work" are actually just passive-aggressive pleas for others to affirm one's values.

I could honestly give a shit what anyone thinks of my values. But I do want everyone to treat everyone else with respect, to try to understand each other, and have compassion for each other. That is my plea: please care about people.

My son has behavioral issues for which he has seen therapists in elementary school. I was really surprised just how controlled the LCSWs were in communicating with him, almost to the point of being creepy if I didn't know why they were so similar. It was in stark contrast to how his psychiatrist would speak to him, though not to put down the latter. Really puts it into perspective when thinking of therapists/psychologists being on the emotional laborer side and psychiatrist on medical/chemical side.

Electric will absolutely have a role in commercial air travel. It's going to revolutionize inter-city travel that is currently too far to drive comfortably, yet not quite far enough to warrant dealing with a flight by allowing people to hop on a tiny aircraft with minimal security flying out of small airfields. Think routes like SF-LA. But it's never going to replace jet fuel for long haul flights barring unimaginable breakthroughs in battery tech.
> The only major sub-domain of software that I think this may potentially be true of is embedded systems. And even then, that's a big maybe.

The big problem with embedded is that when things go wrong, it has a cross cut with electrical engineering--you have to understand datasheets, read a scope, and understand that digital signals sometimes aren't.

I have never known a good embedded software person who is software-only. Even DSP-types with EE degrees don't often operate on hardware very well.

Generally, the best embedded software types are good hardware EE's and passable software people.

I consider myself a very good embedded engineer, but my software is merely "straightforward". Of course, the best software people I know claim I should take that as a compliment, and they are all happy to work with my code.
Not in polite company.
>it will just use the network to make calls between them

meaning that you get to throw network and server errors into the mix of things that can go wrong, and you get the fun of tracing failures back 3 hops to a server that decides to take too long to run a process one day and times out a connection downstream.

it's horrible debugging stuff like this.

Condoms are less effective compared to the pill even when they are used perfectly. As a birth control method, they are outclassed by pretty much every option at women's disposal. The reason they are important is they also help prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
The problem is, the scans (neither MRI nor CT) are specific enough to rule out danger of some stuff you find. So the next thing is you'll need to start taking some nice needle biopsies, being worried about them.. some things you can't do with the needle biopsy and you need to actually get in there.

A subset of these things you find you'll get the answer that they're tumors but harmless and let's leave them, and then you'll go worry about them for the next 10 years..

Doing medical tests without reason is a russian roulette with your psyche :)

I agree in principle though that it would probably be good to have an early "baseline" full body scan and then get incremental checks every year.

The speed of operating your tools definitely has an impact on your development velocity. Invisible interruptions like switching from keyboard to mouse add up.

That said, even though I use vim/keyboard mainly, I still have embarrassing habits like opening a new vim for each file and cd'ing & ls'ing around to find the files.

On a side-note of pedantry, we really need to stop using the term ‘compiling’ in the context of FPGAs and HDLs. To ‘compile’ is to assemble a dossier of documents and/or fill in forms - this is why Grace Hopper called her automatic code generation contraption a ‘compiler’: because, quite appropriately, it took the description of actions to be undertaken by the machine and fleshed them out in a ritualistic fashion in lower-level instructions.

HDLs and FPGAs have very different principles and objectives. The best term is ‘instantiate’, because one creates an instance of a given hardware description upon the substrate of gates provided by the array.

I’m sure I’ll be told I’m nit-picking, but those who do so would probably recoil in horror at the faux pas of some n00b saying a browser “compiles HTML” and tell them the correct term is ‘render’, and they’d be right.

Please, let’s be careful and deliberate about the terms we use, can we please?
Is this the five independent bit flips in worst possible order and combination from cosmic rays failure?

First -> if this is your worst failure mode (ie, worse than pilot error, mechanical fatigue and failure, engine failures, fueling issues, crazy passengers etc) then you have a plane and overall safety system that is incredible.

Second -> this wild set of events again does not crash the plane - though it would put the pilots in a bad spot similar to the existing MCAS issues.

Although I'm curious, I wouldn't ask you to explain why. You probably have your reasons. But I want to note that I love Elm. Elm is a fantastic language. For what is it made for - to build single-page web app frontends, it is hard to think of a better choice.

And I'm not going to tell you that Clojurescript is necessarily better. However, if your choice is dictated by academic curiosity, by all means, do try Purescript. But if you're seeking a tool that allows you to move fast but at the same time to be not too sloppy, maybe give Clojure a try. Beware though: you will encounter things you probably won't like:

- You will hate JVM startup times until you figure out that you don't have to restart REPL. I have some REPL sessions running for days and weeks.

- You will hate error messages. To be fair though, after using Elm, you will hate error messages in any language. Spec and libraries like Expound do improve things, but error messages never get to the level of Elm-awesome.

- If you have never used Lisp before, you will struggle with parentheses until you find a structural editing tool/plugin that works best for you. But after that, it is tough to live without them.

- And yes, you will miss the static type checker, even after learning Spec. Spec is fantastic, and you can do some pretty neat tricks with it, where for something equivalent in Haskell, you'd have to go Liquid. I missed type inference and static type checker in pretty much every dynamically typed language I've used. Clojure minimizes that feeling, but unfortunately, it never dissipates completely.

Historically, there are two camps of languages with roots in lambda-calculus: ML/Haskell and Lisp.

Clojure from the Haskellers' point of view is "worse is better" of Haskell. Haskell from Clojurists' perspective is "too ceremonial and bureaucratic."

But the truth is - you try to learn Haskell, maybe use for a bit, but the chance that you ever get to the point where you can comfortably use Haskell in production is not great. Admittedly, not too many of us developers ever get there.

With Clojure, you can get there pretty quickly. It is way more pragmatic.
And every time I go back to Haskell/ML - there are things I miss that exist in Clojure, and whenever I write Clojure, there are things I miss from Haskell. My life is never will be the same

Pirates cracked Widevine (and possibly other schemes).

Hey Sverige,

I have been working for Amazon for over 2 years and I dont live in poverty or misery. In fact, thanks to my pay at Amazon (2x the minimum wage in my area) I can live quite comfortably. Thanks to my job I dont stress out when I think about my student loans. And thanks to the innovation which was implemented with robots, my job is a lot easier that what it would be without the assistance of the electronics we use.

>If you need several millions of lines of Python to do what Instagram server does

I have this feeling that you're probably not all that aware of 95% of what their code actually does, and thus probably not in a position to make judgements as to whether their code base is truly bloated relative to what it does.
Um, right, which place would that be that you control the actions of others? I've seen two programmers get in a fight before, in a place I would consider rather safe and non violent.
Putting criminals away and making them lose years behind bars is at least helpful to reduce their penchant for violence as violent crimes tend to more likely in your younger years. 50-60 years old dudes killing people make headlines as outliers because they are not common at all.

So yeah, not ideal, but aging people out of violence still kind of works.
Somewhat similar to my terminal text color code. Mine is FCAF3E on 150C0C background, which I find a bit more neutral and gentle to the eyes. The secret is to avoid pure or saturated colors which I found sometimes can be a punch in the eye, so I usually start with a color then lower its intensity and add a bit of the others to make it less hard to look at.

My experience with small content producers is that their decisions surrounding stopping piracy have almost nothing to do with the economics of it; it’s an emotional decision. I’ve seen people spend 25%+ of their content’s revenue on DRM.

His idea is simple: an asteroid is but a huge pile of resources, so instead of having to go e.g. to the belt and back (that's the major cost for space mining, especially from Earth to there — out of our gravity well), you essentially get a 'freebee' coming right to you. With enough tech, you can mine it and shrink it enough it's not even a hazard for earth, or deviate it enough to put it into orbit or slingshot it towards a handy location, whatever. It's rare enough an event (65 million years and counting?) that it would be a nice space-candy for a budding space civilization.

In such a slightly more advanced civilization, you'd see news like "Space corporations get ready as major asteroid coming towards Earth is expected to yield x tons of useful materials, equivalent to n billion dollars saved compared to belt mining." Not to mention asteroids coming from beyond our system could contain exotic materials scarcely found around here.

I think you misunderstand- the parent comment you replied to is referring to ads on Google using a much, much lower price that isn't actually offered by the hotel; it's not referring to whether or not the number of people looking at the ad is misleading/false.
The other person responding to you is a bit harsh, but I’d point out instead that it’s quite hard for an American company to hire someone who is not a US citizen. I had a coworker myself who was a great programmer and member of the team, we all liked him but once his visa from studying here in the US after college ended, he had to return to his home country as my company didn’t have any way to keep him on legally.

Just having a few degrees and minimal work experience probably isn’t going to be enough to break into the US market in many cases, you likely would need to be known as an outstanding expert or have some special skill to help justify issuing a Visa for you (e.g. the O-1 Visa). I’d suggest focusing on distinguishing your career within the context of the EU and if you still have the US as a long term goal look carefully at how best to get there. (Some others who have accomplished that probably have better advice, of course! As a natural born citizen I’ve never had to worry about this personally, but I assume I might face similar challenges if I wanted to move to the EU to work.)
That's eSNI and I believe it's part of 1.3: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-esni-04

Not sure what's the implementation status though.
Somebody did this with normal 8-bit hardware about 5-10 years ago. Like the current instance, that one also took several hours to get to a commandline prompt.

It's the age-old trade-off, power versus speed. The more powerful your CPU and peripherals, the less time and/or number of instructions required taken to do each particular job along the way to get to that prompt.

I remember looking at the number of instructions required to do 32-bit additions on a 4MHz 8-bit Z80 once. All of those instructions were replaced by one single (and much faster!) instruction on a 33MHz 80386 CPU.

You can assume the "computer" solution is overfitted, too. There's no reason to, because general methods are well-known, but it's even easier to just hardcode a cube and the list of moves that solves it than it is to implement one of those general methods.

Why assume that "I solved a Rubik's cube using a neural network" guarantees that I cheated?

Boeing relied on the pilot noticing runaway stabilizer and doing what they're trained to do on runaway stabilizer - turn off the trim motors.

The first of the 3 sets of pilots did this, and landed without incident.

The next set overrode MCAS successfully 25 times, inexplicably did not turn off the trim, did not override it the last time, and crashed.

The last set successfully countered MCAS twice, then turned off the trim. They did not follow the directions on Boeing's Flight Crew Operations Manual Bulletin: "Uncommanded Nose-Down Stabilizer Trim Due to Erroneous Angle Of Attack During Manual Flight Only", which the FAA turned into a mandatory emergency airworthiness directive.

Blue (and any high energy light) is known to facilitate radical formation, redox and other electronic transitions, hence "ionizing radiation". It breaks chemical bonds. Fruit flies are small enough to be translucent to visible light. It is not unreasonable to think that blue photons wreak chemical havoc in the bodies of small bugs, not unlike x-rays in mammals.
Last time I had a phone screening with the, I learned their entire codebase was in Perl, with no plans on migration to anything else. There were almost no unit tests anywhere. Most developers could push directly to production.

Everything the girl on the phone said was horrifying and I decided not to continue. Their recruiter kept trying to call me over Skype though, and they offer more than most other companies of that size in the EU, so I suspect they're pretty desperate.

This was back in 2015 so maybe it's changed, but it sounds like a terrible place as far as technology and tech debt goes.

I would think part of the FBI's involvement here could also be to keep an eye on him. He came across as a very naive & influenceable person to me (converting to a religion, putting himself at risk by trying to meet a woman from a different country - which could've very well been a trap - woman who later tried to go into a conflict zone, going to Ukraine for <reasons>, etc)... I wouldn't be surprised if he one day ended up becoming one of the terrorists he was supposedly tracking (was he truly tracking them, or was he - maybe subconsciously - "into it" and the whole FBI thing happened to be a convenient way for him to get closer to the terrorist groups?).
