I am the opposite of a grunt worker.

If you want someone who will pursue a multifaceted understanding of your problem, hire me. If you need someone tenacious enough to face an intractible problem, hire me. If you would like someone meticulous and intention-filled in both their code and their words, hire me.

I will be one of your team's greatest assets, guaranteed.

Personally, I will be biased toward opportunities offering experience in "interesting" languages (e.g. Haskell, Lisp, APL/J, etc.) My background is diverse enough to make summaries almost meaningless, but suffice it to say that I virtually grew up hacking around on Linux boxes and with programming. My education is in pure math, with a special interest on algebra, linear and otherwise.

My strongest asset is the ability to quickly asborb and develop an intricate, protean understanding of complex issues. It's a skill not limited just to technical problems. My weakest point is excessive curiosity which tempts me down exciting rabbit holes. I use the task managing system taskwarrior to keep this in check. The thing I care about most on a team is strong communication. I almost subconciously take on the role of mediator and communications facilitator due to this value.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
"Why wouldn't sshd do the job here?" Take "you" out of it. The question is about the problem and the solution, not the person.
Heh. Except it took forever for states to begin decriminalizing/legalizing marijuana, and it isn't legal at the Federal level yet.
But he’s not the CEO any longer and he hasn’t been for years. So why is what he did more than a decade ago relevant absent of evidence that he has any direct control of the company today?
Thanks, that is a good list of learning materials and tools.

Several years ago I spent a few evenings with a quantum computer simulator and a SHOR algorithm example.

Even the selling of bonds would have been unnecessary. They had a rock solid revenue stream. This deal wasn't about ISOC raising money, it was about looting a public asset for private profit.

I really like the idea of implementing mutability control at the level of a collective as opposed to a single object. A great many transactions are multi-object.

Love the idea that a Netscape-legacy language has traction there. I hope they don’t return to their pre-Nadella practices.
Sorry, I see what you mean. Yes, price to rent ratios tend to be inversely proportional to bond yields.
Why would anywhere else have legal power to? .org doesn't sell domains directly to consumers, and ICANN is intentionally centralized, up until a few years ago being owned by the US government. US-owned US-created top-level domains are hardly an international affair.

You could argue that DNS is broken, and that ICANN is bad, but there's no legal argument for .org being subject to foreign governments.
"How come" and just "why" coupled with fairly direct phrasing are a lot better than most of the rest of the suggestions elsewhere in the thread as of this posting, most of which seem highly passive-aggressive.
The jobs.apple.com link appears to be broken :) It doesn't link to a specific job description, just an empty search form with 100s of results.
Their interactive data-journalism featurettes implies they have coders.
I don't mind the phrasing "why didn't you just" too much, but the phrase "why don't we just ... X" drives me crazy. The passive assumption that "just X" is obviously better and simpler than the current idea under discussion is insulting. Part of the problem is it lazily puts the onus on everybody else to explain why the proposal is a bad idea at zero intellectual cost to the proposer. eg:

Why don't we just use a jsonb column and put all the attributes in there instead of inventing a complicated table structure?

My take on this is always: if you so lack understanding of the problem space that you can't understand why everyone is discussing something complicated, stop proposing solutions until you do. When you do understand that, come back with your reasoning:

Although a relational structure is a better way to do this in general, I think in this situation it isn't necessary because the format of the data is intentionally client specific and opaque to our code. We might be able to simplify things a lot by storing it as a jsonb field
Is the Golang developer position worldwide remote or just remote in the US or North America?
> Tolkien's Lord of the Rings...literary reactions to that time period

It was also a response to WWI. Tolkein's childhood friends were killed and shattered by that war...and why? Because in 1831, Britain agreed to be a guarantor of Belgian neutrality.

So when Gondor calls for aid... when Isildur calls the Men of the White Mountains to war... when Minas Tirith is besieged... what ought elves and men do but honour their allegiance? We now have all seen that war is obscene as cancer, but perhaps to march to death is still more fitting than to forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship.

Otherwise... what was the point?
As always, non-profit services cost less than for-profit services for a reason. ISOC could have implemented any price hikes they wanted without the need to pay out a profit as will be necessary for the new owners.

This will be a net cost increase, likely a big one (since there are no actual controls), for .org owners.
You've got the causality backwards. It isn't "the whole word uses this, so we decided to put two US state courts in charge of it".

It was "only two US state courts are in charge of it but the whole world decided to start using it anyway".

No one forced anyone to use the US DNS system. They all knew what they were signing up for when they joined the public internet in the 80s and 90s and haven't spend any time or money lobbying for a change.
LVT makes no distinction between value resulting from your own efforts outside the property itself and value resulting from others' efforts. In any case, recognizing the potential in a piece of land and investing resources to secure it and hold it in reserve until that potential can best be realized (i.e. "speculation") is also effort worthy of reward.
I am from Europe. If you say something as a personal issue, nobody will bat an eye, often.

If you are a leader from a group, such as a politician, or if an entire group is built upon hate against the other, such as the KKK, your speech and even your freedom would be punished right in the spot. And that's logical.

The KKK leaders would be arrested here where I live, and that would something any sane democracy should do. Also, if any islamic nut tells everyone to enslave women and kill gay people, these people are either fined or jailed so no shit hits the fan getting a 2nd maniac mass murderer.

Meanwhile, we can protest against the state and the police with no issues. The Chinese can't do that.
Spot the differences.
Lost on both of them. You should look up other useless stuff, like how many outlets are required in kitchens.
> Or is Kenya importing grain?

Yes, their grain mill example is strange. But what they imply is yes. Either more is imported, or not exported or created/grown.

A better example is the clients buy a TV, then the benefits like family planning from watching things like soapies come through, which stops the destruction of wealth.

Don't get the printing money link.

Money from outside the country is given which allows them to import things they want or hire unemployed people to to create, who then might import things with their wages.

Rather than giving TV's you allow them to chose, so houses don't end up with two TV's, they might spend the money on schooling or a phone rather than a second TV.
UC Berkeley switched from quarters to semesters in 1983 ( https://dailybruin.com/2018/06/08/the-quad-the-long-convolut... ). At the time I thought it was because spring quarter is over later than spring semester (because of Christmas and New Year) and students from quarter-schools had a hard time finding summer jobs because the semester students had already taken all the jobs.
> When people talk about non-determinism of floating point, what they usually mean is non-associativity, that is (x+y)+z may not be exactly equal to x+(y+z).

Good example of this, in Python 3:

>>> (0.1 + 0.2) + 0.3
0.6000000000000001
>>> 0.1 + (0.2 + 0.3)
0.6
There is utterly nothing you can do to prevent the american heathcare apparatus from obtaining and sharing your heath data. It will be exchanged between your state agency, care provider and insurers constantly. Your insurer will likely de-identify data in the event of a leak. The other two may not (save regulatory requirements) I have first hand experience here.
Either they tried sshd or they didnt. If they did try it, then they have a good response ready to go no matter how you ask. The issue here is if they did not try it. The longer they have worked on it, the more gently I would make the suggestion towards sshd. If they have worked on it for their whole life, I wouldn't provide any help unless asked to and only limited to what they have asked me to do. If they have worked on it for 10 seconds, it would seem to be ok to quickly suggest sshd. For everything in between just be gentle. Maybe consider pondering and prodding as to what they have tried and maybe do not suggest sshd but some sort of encrypted TCP based protocol maybe one that is readily available.... maybe they'll discover it on their own.

It's a joke. The whole point is for the author to cast themself in a negative light.
Avoid the whole question of why they didn't do something; that's where the criticism is coming in, and nobody actually gives the slightest shit about that answer. Just say "Did you try...?"
I sometimes start it with "I'm curious; why didn't you use sshd?" I think that does a decent job of clearing up your intentions.

I also believe, as a general rule; don't use the word You. Compare "Why didn't you use sshd" and "Why was sshd selected for this".
I know other people have already echoed your comment, but I feel the same. About a month ago I switched from chrome and google search to firefox and ddg. After about 2 days I completely forgot I was using ddg. It just stuck.
i think it is close to it. I mean for example that FBI guy - Peter Strzok - who led investigation into Clinton's mishandling of emails was himself officially found in flagrant violations of classified information handling policies in particular for storing the classified documents on his personal unencrypted devices, etc.. Somehow i don't think that Strzok is just an exception at FBI - he spent 21 years there after all - , no, he is just the one who got caught because he attracted attention (by his anti-Trump and pro-Clinton text messages on his FBI issued phone while investigating Clinton emails and Trump-Russia collusion - speaking about opsec again :)

There's so many TLDs today, the ability to raise prices isn't what it was.

Though they could 5x prices and even if they lost 60% of their business, they'll come out ahead. I could understand the worries of .org holders.
They buy trillions of bonds from GSEs every day. This wouldn't be any different. Agency debt is a well understood thing.
I think haptic feedback and novel controls are just as important as the VR. How much force does it take to [do critical part of open heart surgery]? What’s the exact hand motion for [neurosurgeon technique]? It would be great if a doctor got to practice the hand motions in as near to real life conditions as possible. I suspect insurance companies will insist surgeons keep up with vr/haptic training if it is found that it increases success rates of surgey.
It may be the worst domain name ever, but the site only exists because I thought that using "0" as a subdomain was a neat trick, and worked back from there to figure out what to do with it.

FWIW - the only way I can ever find my own website is by searching for it in my github repositories. So I definitely agree, it's not a terribly memorable domain.
I wonder how long that is the only threat.

I knew someone volunteering for a senate campaign. They noted their personal email suddenly had what looked like a lot of spear phishing type emails.
It is happening. They do have your info. Sites like Web MD aren't making things up out of thin air...
Parent is talking about load following. Nuclear power plants can absolutely load follow the diurnal predicted demand closely. Most power demand is forecast very accurately with only small amounts of new generation dispatched or load shedded to account for the smaller variances, or when outages happen on some part of the grid.
Right - almost all of the examples from the website use “you.”

To me that actually sounds more condescending. The statement form suggests not only that I thought of the right way to solve your long-term problem in 5 minutes, but also that I'm confident you didn't know about it. The question form depends a lot on tone, but at least it admits that you might have considered the idea.
Don't worry. Huawei barely gets to manage the fund itself from Chinese banks. And the moment that US DOJ launches secondary boycott on Huawei and its financial affiliates & financiers, believe me -- it won't last months.

The most important thing is the financial power. The current wrestle between China and the US (entailing Huawei and Chinese trade deals) is all about the US wanting to forcefully open up Chinese financial markets -- which China will never do.

It would be exciting to see how the new trade deals would unfold.
Or just don’t get offended so quickly, this is just how people tend to speak sometimes. Don’t implicitly add bad intent or insults when none were explicitly made.
Cyrillic А is not the same as English A.

For example, some fonts render A in a way that looks like Cyrilic Л. (Like The Mandalorian title screen.)

This would be incorrect if using the same A for both: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V8fC7bdV-mI/maxresdefault.jpg

"How about sshd?"
That particular position is North America remote.
I think DDG is decent and getting better. The tough thing though is that for search the bar is high. Alternatives need to be as good as google, not 80 or 90 or 98% as good.

Most users, once they experience just a few instances of worse results will just switch back to google.

Ah, thanks -- you're right, the second is prohibited; corrected. The first seems fine per 2.10(c) as long as the registrant agrees on first registration that renewals will be expensive.
"have you tried xyz?"

The problem with the other approaches is that they imply that you are judging the person. This one only implies something that they may have missed.
From my perspective, Brave New World was a cautionary tale of transhumanism, technocracy, secularism, and hedonism. The climax of the novel delves into theology and the condition of man, with the protagonist lamenting the disappearance from society of God or any higher allegiance than to the self or state.

Whenever I hear John Lennon's Imagine, I always imagine the world portrayed in this story.
> the first 256 characters of Unicode are almost identical to CP1252. I'm pretty sure that's not a coincidence.

That depends on whether you consider the fact that Windows CP 1252 is almost identical to Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1), which is exactly the first 256 characters of Unicode, to be a coincidence.
Many libraries, even open source, have hand-rolled x64 assembly for the hot bits, or have transitive dependencies that have hand-rolled assembly. You want to rewrite that AES-NI code for ARM equivalency yourself?

Many open source projects don’t even have build tooling or testing on anything but x64.

That’s a lot of pain, even discounting buggy and poorly tested drivers.
That's why cash flows are discounted at the cost of capital - it's a quantitative decision.
Nobody cares if they tried it either. Just say, "what about sshd?" or something like that.
Follow the money.

If they invest with GS, see how much is left after 5-7 years.
Instead of just food, they add flavour to life itself :) Nutmeg is even better, doing both at once (as noted in the article).

Jokes aside, reading that article with all the examples of the scarcity and cost of spices it brought to my mind the modern day trade of various drugs.
Is it possible to submit Google queries using HTTP POST.

Using POST instead of GET is an option DDG provides. Startpage uses HTTP POST as well.
In addition to more cost, if any part of the led indication circuitry were to fail then you also lost your mic. For some this may be preferred, but I can see some people not happy if the failure of an unrelated part took out their mic.
I dunno... what about this:

most of the time, I have a pretty good meal out of just veggies and try to be vegan with my diet most of the time. Sometimes I want a steak or some BBQ, so I do it.

That's actually a message that a lot of my vegan friends push out, because like most things life doesn't have to be absolute. It has massively reduced my meat intake, that's for sure.

I find it is the same with google. 99% of the time ddg is a-okay, but sometimes I'm not getting an answer so I google something, and the g! thing is how I do it.

I am using substantially less google search this way... why is that a worse situation than the alternative of either just using ddg and not finding stuff or just using google and having fewer options?

My usual would be "the first thing that comes to mind is X". If they have tried it, they know that I'm just throwing out ideas rather than calling them stupid, and if they haven't tried it, it's a gentle enough nudge towards a potential solution.
I can't be the only one who finds it cleaner to just use structs with state and pointers to them, than all such macro and typedef hackery
Registrant can negotiate with ICANN to make their own terms at expiration of the agreement.
That is exactly what it is though. The authors probably could have sold to governments (their tool may not have been sophisticated enough though) and never had any trouble.
>It's possible that the apostrophe rules we have today we become outdated a-la the who/whom distinction.

Outdated due to ignorance driven by laziness.
Let me be clear up front: I'm questioning your motives.

Every citizen of a democracy is a political actor and a participant in the economy and society. The Russians are agnostic, just like our intelligence services. They'll target economic actors, political actors, anyone on the social graph that looks potentially useful. In a world of micro-transactions, targeted advertising, and fake news, that's pretty much anyone.

The only point of the quote you excerpted is that's the bright line at which the FBI would directly spend taxpayer dollars to insert themselves into this issue. If you're trying to tell people they shouldn't worry about FaceApp because they're a member of the "general public", I worry that you are intentionally misdirecting citizens of a democratic society.
> genetics, life circumstances, surrounding culture

Life circumstances like “needing to get their wisdom teeth removed.” The doctor prescribes you painkillers afterward and makes absolutely no mention of how addictive they are, or even that they’re opioids.

I don’t think those people were going to wake up one morning and start using on heroin on their own, so I have a hard time writing them off as “well, some people would have used drugs anyway.”
> a hostile foreign government who has already hacked American elections once and is planning to do it again

What do you mean by hacked? There is no evidence that any vote counts were changed. So I don't think the election was hacked. The only evidence of any hacking was the theft of DNC emails, but even then the DNC has never turned over the servers they say were hacked to the FBI. And Crowdstrike retracted key parts of their report on the supposed hacking.

Certainly I think the Russian government would love to control the outcome of American elections, and they probably try daily to do that. But saying that they or anyone else hacked American elections is a stretch.

I'm not saying this with any political motivation. I'm just trying to interpret the facts of what happened in 2016.
"US intelligence agencies do the same, no?"

Yes, definitely, again another thing beyond dispute. Not sure what the point is you're trying to make though.
So no one here uses engines like Startpage or Searx?

I tried to use DDG consistently a few months ago and didn't always get what I wanted, so I found Startpage.

I'll give DDG another try.
"what happened when you tried sshd?"/"what went wrong when you tried sshd?"
Evil Huawei
That's true, but you misunderstood what I meant.

The parent comment seemed to be implying that we should drop support for non-utf8 charsets.

To me, that rings like saying a website with 'charset=EUC-JP' (such as http://www.os2.jp/) should be broken, as in browsers should error out or display a large quantity of black boxes due to it using a non-utf-8 encoding.

I'm claiming the only reason the author thinks that's really viable is because in our western-centric world, we see mostly ascii and utf8. Things that, if you flip to only utf-8, both still look fine.

CJK websites, on the other hand, that are using the equivalent of ASCII will have to be manually upgraded to display correctly if browsers drop their support.

Sure, all their characters can be represented in utf-8, but there's large swathes of websites that will never be updated to a new charset, and it's only a western-centric view that can so blithely suggest breaking them all.
For mobile, I just use the `pass` Android app. It's very simple as an editor, but has build-in git support. My biggest issue has been forgetting to push and then creating merge conflicts, which don't work well on encrypted files.

I use markdown formatting for everything, so it's easy enough to export if I want to. For my diary I've written a script that decrypts the files (one per day), concatenates them, builds and index and spits out a single HTML file.

That will be very sad if it's the case.

One reason of why I'm using Rust is because it's built by a group of people that I like, and Microsoft is not on that list.

However, I always keep a open-mind, I mean, I don't see anybody will be hurt if Microsoft become a direct contributor of Rust language itself. In fact, I could like Microsoft a bit if they did invest in Rust. I hope they do that <delete>instead of trying to fork things/build something alike (if that's the case here)</delete> (I watched their intro, their design is different than Rust and I somehow like what they did there).
