It's perhaps a little ambiguous, but I understood the comment as arguing the exact opposite. I interpreted "overdevelopment" to basically mean the kind of sprawl explainted here: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2017/1/9/the-real-reason... ...where cities expand horizontally for short-term tax revenue gains/federal grants while accruing long-term infrastructure costs that their tax bases can't pay.
Maybe I just got lucky, but I never had a single speck of dust on my 10-11 year old Canon P450D's sensor (which I very recently sold).

I used to travel extensively with it, especially across Asia, swapping between the stock lens and a 270mm Sigma as needed.

I'm not a professional photographer, so obviously never used as much as one, but it still got plenty use.

Did I just get lucky?

I'm pretty sure amdgpu has supported AMD's recent cards (from the past few years) before they hit the shelves. Same for intel. It's always fun seeing the commits adding support for chips that you can't buy yet. And I've bought some very bleeding edge hardware from both companies in the past few years, with good results OOTB on Linux.
I would make the observation that mere "dozens-to-hundreds of hours agonizing" over theoretical topics leaves one very far from qualified to design critical complex systems. At best, it gives one a shallow understanding of the domain but no expertise in the theoretical design of operational systems. Every CS grad knows how to design a database engine -- a very poor and naive database engine that has little resemblance to what an expert in the theory of databases would design. Same story with parallel systems, networking protocols, etc.

For as much time as is spent in school on theory, one still needs to spend (at least) an order of magnitude more time going deep in a theoretical domain to understand it well enough to apply it competently. The difference in the amount of self-study required to grok many classes of complex systems design between someone with a CS degree and someone without falls below the noise floor. No matter what, you will need to do inordinate amounts of self-study to acquire theoretical competency.

A CS degree is essentially a theoretical survey course. It tells you these domains exist and gives a little bit of high level context, but if you want to become an expert in those theory areas then you are still learning almost entirely on your own and/or from other experts on the job.
I am going to report it is slow on both, when the bs is disabled. Especially slow on other browsers. You know there are other browsers right?

Are you saying they can forcibly take blood without your consent?

In the UK it's my understanding that you can refuse all testing but if you do that you will be charged with a separate offence which has similar penalties to the drink driving offence you're trying to wriggle out of.
Tell people we need to roll back, clone the repo to my hard drive, open up git, undo the commit that merged the bad code in, push it. All done.

"Production"? Does that mean something that goes to the customers? Very few of our customers keep up with releases so it's generally not a big deal. We can have a release version sitting around for weeks before any customer actually installs it; some customers are happy with a five year old version and occasional custom patches.

I bet it's a bigger problem for those for whom the product is effectively a running website, but those of us operating a different software deployment model have a different set of problems.
If a website uses 10 common assets, that's often an uncommon combination. And if you have 100 websites on your "targets list" (let's say, fetish websites, or LGBT communities) then you could get a positive match on some of them.
It takes a lot of talent to explain something complex simply and intuitively.
Several reasons:

Many large, higher quality ad buyers (agencies and direct sold) can get enough return from non-greyarea inventory like this. There's no point in them taking (even a small) perceived risk of buying this grey market inventory.

However, they likely do use this tracking data second or third hand via their third party data providers brokering and including it in larger data sets they use for cross site targeting via DMPs.

Finally, there's simple economics: people who go through enough effort to block trackers and other things are (perceived) to be less likely to engage with ads (e.g. they see it as you do, when one 'slips through'). So there's no point in paying $$$ for those eyeballs.

All of this in combination means you get low quality, barrel bottoms ads.
Fuck everything about 5 day work weeks.

I'll gladly switch to any job that offers a 4 day work week. It's one of the best perks.

As someone with ADHD, work days are entirely spent getting work done. There isn't any extra slack or allotment for personal tasks. They're 100% owned by the employer.

Weekends offer barely enough time to catch up with chores. There isn't enough time both to catch up and still have fun. I use vacation time to catch up on chores, so that's spent too.

I don't want to spend most of my life working. I feel like a slave, and now my youth is almost gone.

I don't care if it's a 10hr/4day schedule or a 9hr/4day 8hr/4day with less pay, I want an extra day for myself. I'm an excellent engineer aside from my ADHD quirks, and I'll go anywhere that offers this where I live.

My own startup (I almost have the capital for a long runway) will be 9hr/4day.

Fuck everything about 5 day work weeks.
Production doesn't always increase as quickly or easily as economics 101 would have you believe. When there is a severe drought, there can be talk about towing icebergs but somehow it doesn't happen. Instead, people cut back on water usage.

You need to look into how production is actually done in each market to understand how quickly producers can respond to changes in demand.

(I'm not going to worry about beef, though, since there are good substitutes.)
Well written in the sense of artful rhetoric perhaps. But it makes no sense at all to talk about demographic issues without accounting for productivity growth and technological progress. This is pure scare mongering.

Imagine what you could have written around 1700 when the share of farmers dropped below 50% if you had ignored productivity growth.
I’m running an APU2C4 for my router, no wireless. It has pfSense running with OpenVPN and a DNS sinkhole for ads. My wireless is through an UAP AC Pro.

The APU works fine but after upgrading to a gigabit connection I’m a bit disappointed. It won’t saturate the connection on a single thread. (Yes over Ethernet) Maybe 400 Mbps max. Apparently it has something to do with pfSense not multithreading connections and the single cores of the CPU not being fast enough on their own. I can run 1 Gbps over multiple connections though so I suppose it mostly fulfills it’s purpose. I also want a WireGuard server but I might end up just deploying that in a VM. pfSense doesn’t currently have that option.

When I learned of these limitations I gave some consideration to the the Ubiquiti USG but found it isn’t exactly super beefy either and requires turning features off to get 1 Gbps. I’m debating building something similar to the ArsTechnica guide [0].

Overall, I’ve been satisfied with my setup and in particular the UAPs. I’ve deployed multiple UAPs and Edgerouter X’s at friends and family’s houses and have had essentially 0 support requests. The stuff just works and performs. I just had a party last night and even with 20+ clients, streaming music and YouTube TV for football, I had zero complaints or hiccups. All on a single UAP. I haven’t used any recent consumer gear but I know e consumer gear I used to buy would have definitely been choking on that kind of load.

I’m pretty disappointed to see this turn in events with UBNT. I’ve kinda seen it coming for awhile now since they’ve been moving towards these cloud services but I was really hoping they would resist the lures of Surveillance Capitalism.

Are you aware of any way to bundle setting for Firefox (or whatever) that include these kinds of changes?

I know you can export the about:config and share that, but I have always wanted a kind of ansible for setting up a browser with plugins and other changes for my personal use.

Additionally, If I could tell my friends and family: Hey just use my Firefox Playbook and feel safe on the internet, thereby reducing the cognitive load of figuring out how to do that, I'd probably have a lot more success helping curious but busy people take control of their privacy.

i agree with the title, but not with the article. All the things listed in the article can be learned outside of a CS degree. What a CS degree does is force you to learn the academic which gives you the foundation to work at FAANG or some other company that has high [principal] engineering levels, or even just the awareness of knowing what you don't know to round out your skillset post school.

Having said that, a CS degree isn't necessary, just better under the premise that knowing more is better than not knowing more.
Of course. It is a high sensibility field test designed to rule out suspects. False positives are likely. The only thing it is good for is screening suspects for further specific testing. Same goes for other drug tests which can and do react to random substances.

The problem is people get jailed or fined based on the result even though it proves nothing.

Speaking as someone who recently was finally able to buy in the Bay Area, repealing prop 13 would screw everyone in my position and do nothing to make real estate more available.

I agree that it is ‘unfair’ but making it more ‘fair’ would just harm all the people who have actually made it work for them.

Most people who own property in the Bay Area are not predatory landlords.

Campaign contributions, and who makes them, are not secret. The excerpt you posted about "Individual Contributions" refers only to what the FEC distributes via its "Bulk Data" downloads page. The FEC itself posts the contribution form for every contribution. For example, on the "Individual contributions" search page [0], click on the right-arrow icon (in the right most column) of any given entry. Then click the "Open original image" button to see the donor's contribution form.

The Forbes link you posted refers to voter registration data. This data is not secret (some states post it online themselves), nor does it contain who voters voted for.

> When doing a job—any job—one must feel that he owns it, and act as though he will remain in the job forever. He must look after his work just as conscientiously, as though it were his own business and his own money.

I hear this kind of talk from managers at my workplace as well. Extreme ownership seems like the management technique du jour. I am quite sceptical of it. I'll treat the work as my own business when it is my own business and when I have a significant stake in the outcome. Otherwise, I am just a guy you pay to do a job, not a business partner and definitely not a loyal slave.

That only exacerbates the fundamental problem: smaller working cohort, larger dependant cohort.

Resource consumption per capita of youth is less than elderly (especially healthcare), and generally reduces with time (excepting education). Youth lasts only 15-20 years before gainful employment can begin. Old age stretches from 65 onwards. Early retirees may spend 50 years or more "retired".

Why don't they also need probable case to force you to take a field sobriety test? Why does one test need probable cause and the other not?
I'd think a witch hunt is exactly what you'd want if there were no internal saboteurs, though. Getting the enemy to waste time, effort and loyalty like that would be the perfect cherry on top of the physical disruption.
You don't need to, rather you should focus on learning about investing and start putting your money there. We live in a capitalist society but the vast majority of people are purely consumers and not capitalists. People like us who accumulate extra capital get the chance the actually be capitalists and grow the money. The way you talk about your approach to money reminds me of my own approach and honestly it's fairly rare as many people are conditioned to keep raising their spending as their income grows. Reaching a level where you have enough and don't desire more but still have plenty extra capital means you can start investing for the future. Keep in mind things will change as you get older, eventually you may not want to work a regular job, etc and only people who achieve financial freedom have this option. Personally, I started out with a big passion for software development but at this point I'm pretty burnt out on it. Fortunately I have been frugal and saved / invested a lot over my career to where I have a realistic chance of living solely off my investment activities at some point in the future.
For comparison, in Sweden the criminal limit is 0.02 and the more severe crime is 0.05

I prefer the 0.02 because it’s a de facto ban on drinking and driving while 0.05 or 0.08 means you can have a few drinks and then you should judge your own ability to drive (in the exact situation when you are worst at judging your own ability).
That's great unless you need software that is not available on Linux. Not all businesses have that choice, but they might still care about privacy and security.

> Of course, but where productivity doesn't increase significantly from having additional time spent not working, there will simply be less work done

I don't believe that productivity in the service industry doesn't significantly decrease with number of hours worked. I get that with some work you end up mulling over it while you're away and coming up with a solution to a problem in a way that doesn't apply nearly as often for a kitchen environment, but I've seen workers who felt they weren't getting enough time off show up drunk, take 45 minute breaks without clearing it with management, not bother with proper food handling procedures (e.g. putting meat products in ice and water before throwing them in the walk-in so that time spent between holding temperatures would be minimised and bacteria wouldn't grow in the
meat we served to customers), etc. Even as somebody who tried to stay on the ball, I would be slipping up and making dumb mistakes at the end of a 14 hour shift in a hot kitchen without enough time for adequate hydration. Work two of those in a row and I doubt you'll be at peak efficiency, either. When I worked in food service workers tended to be asking for less hours, not more. We'd bribe each other to take shifts. That doesn't mean we didn't want more pay, it's just that the bottom feeders of society also value their free time. Being paid less means that each hour you sell you get less for. Selling your reading time for $8.50 an hour feels way worse than selling it for $50.00 an hour; at $50.00 you feel like you're building towards something, at $8.50 you feel like you're pissing away your life for practically nothing.

> It's not quite that simple - I personally have life-long goals that I would like to work more on. After speaking to people from a wide walk of life, I don't believe everybody has such passions for their side projects, or their goals simply benefit from more cash (i.e. holidays, family, expenses, etc). For some people their work is their goal.

I get what you're saying here. My point with the "you're human" line was that you were making an argument about the service industry employees based on how we as a society could most efficiently capture their labor value, and then stating your own desires for work-life-balance in more human terms.
I was designated navigator on road trips with my dad from like 8 or 10. As a adult, I was surprised to see friends using GPS every time to get to their "favorite restaurant" (located a few blocks from their house).

It's a thing that makes ride share a bit maddening because it's clear when folks can't reason about their situation versus blindly following the GPS instructions.

Edit: Riding public transit to middle and high school helped a lot too.
That sounds somewhat similar to Canada. In Canada, criminal code is solely within federal jurisdiction, but driving is within provincial jurisdiction. A BAC of 0.08 and higher is criminal DUI. But in many (most?) provinces, a BAC of 0.05 and higher can lead to fines, losing your license, etc. It is not a criminal offence, but it is still a civil infraction.
I remember watching an anti-alcohol video in high school wherein they gave 4 or 5 people one drink after another and had them drive an obstacle course increasingly intoxicated.

All but one of them got worse with additional alcohol, but the last guy, who was probably a high-functioning alcoholic who drank daily, continued to drive faster and more precisely with each additional drink well past the legal limit until his skills collapsed catastrophically at around twice the legal limit.

So basically, I suspect it's hard to come up with a uniform standard here so they err excessively on the side of caution and use a limit where an otherwise teetotaler would be impaired. Finding out not even that is accurate is not encouraging.
A nice benefit to that is it may make fingerprinting harder if many people are using the same configuration.

Personally speaking, CS degree has been a negative indicator. Autodidacts, and people coming from math, physics, engineering, finance have all been outstanding hires.

CS grads have typically been strong on opinions, weak on everything else. The whole program is just too "meta"--and it is a huge negative!

You can give an idea to an autodidact, or a math grad, or a real-science grad, and they will approach it with an open mind. Give the same idea to a CS grad, and God help you if it conflicts in any way with their indoctrination.
