> Ask women and you'll find that most aren't interested in programming a computer all day

I think this though itself is an artefact of a male dominated profession. The fact that working with software is "programming a computer all day" reflects a male preference and value system, and many people open acknowledge that it's quite harmful and often creates quite dysfunctional teams. We need better requirements, better communication, better documentation, more human approach to the whole process. I've talked to great women working in software development who say "I don't really care about the programming itself and I would never go home and do it for fun - but I love the other aspects of the job". Perhaps the nature of the job itself needs to change a bit for the preferences to adjust.
Depending on your usage pattern and whether you need to be able to receive calls or push notifications, it's possible your needs might be met by a laptop with an LTE stick that you only plug in when you actually need data, and a voip client on that laptop for making calls.

Obviously there's some inconvenience here, but it has the nice property that assuming you can use wifi at your main locations (home, work, coffee shop, library, etc), you'll only ever be on the cellular network in between places. And because the stick is naturally de-powered when not plugged in, there's no need to seek out a battery-removable phone.
What you seem to be looking for is a single solution to the privacy problem. There isn't one (or it's too cumbersome).

You need to think in terms of risk assessment and onion security. Use your most secure and cumbersome security apparatus for activities and data that afford it.

If you don't want ANY data to be collected about you, anywhere, you're going to have a very hard time. Not even fully analog people can easily manage that anymore.

In summary, ask yourself what you're protecting from. I've gone through a paranoid phase and learn all of this the hard way. It's not fun and brings little tangible benefits.

> Would it be fair to ask to maintain a $120k salary

You should always ask. If they don't come up, then you have to make a decision from there. I'm assuming this is an engineering role; if so, $90k + 0.1% with 12+ yrs experience is pretty low in almost any area (US).
The idea behind sgx is that you don't need to trust your cloud provider.

There are already simpler solutions for local execution.
There were several reasons. One, everybody used two digit years for everything. When writing checks you used two digits. When you saw a date on television or in a book it used a two digit year. So it just made sense.

Secondly there was the idea that it would save space. And really it did. When your computer new out of the box had 3.5 KB available storage, those two extra characters were very important.

And thirdly because computers were new and things were changing so rapidly that everybody assumed everything would be replaced in just a few years. It's a bit difficult to explain, but electronic data was considered a lot "less real" then than it is now. When you switch the computer off it's gone. The idea that digital data would persist for years was difficult to grasp for a lot of people. Floppy disks had a realistic lifespan measured in months and later in years, but single digits for sure. It wasn't until optical drives became commonly available that it was possible for digital personal data to last very long at all.

... I can't help but think how much a review there sounds like a capitalist version of a Maoist "struggle session" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session).

The point of a struggle session wasn't to build people up; it was to tear them down. A culture where the way you move up is by tearing your colleagues down is generally a dysfunctional culture. Everybody involved ends up losing sight of things outside their four walls (such as, you know, what customers want), because they're spending all their time squaring off against each other internally.

I would suggest a healthier, more sustainable culture could be imagined by contemplating these words from the Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell translation, chapter 27: http://taoteching.org.uk/index.php?c=27&a=Stephen+Mitchell):

What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?

Bike shedding is when you discussion irrelevant issues. If I ask you what do you think of about this shade of red for my bike shed your answer isn't bike shedding. If I ask you if I can build a bike shed and you tell me only if it is red that is bike shedding.

When I ask someone for an opinion on my mock up and they give one it isn't bike shedding. That different mock ups will get a different response is interesting, but no response is bike shedding even if some responses are useless.

In the early days, programming was more of a secretarial position. The computer scientists and mathematicians who created the algorithms couldn’t be bothered to write the code and type everything up on the punchcard machines.

This sort of job for women is basically a continuation of the days when women were human computers, hired to do loads of calculations for mathematicians and scientists. The fact that women took these jobs has more to do with their limited opportunities elsewhere than anything else.
So either go all the way, or give up and accept it?

I've played piano for 15 years, and I prefer listening to music. Although, some of my musician friends say it's more noise than music... https://whoami.sh/thought/flow-playlist
Time invested isn't linear with improved talent. We all have our own thresholds, but we all get diminishing returns after working/practicing so many hours in a day.

It also depends on the quality of time as well as the quantity. I'm a musician, and it's a fairly common trope to talk about practice in terms of efficiency, such as identifying "directed practice" and similar terms. I've experienced it myself: if I'm mindlessly playing the same passage over and over again, I won't improve nearly as quickly as if I stop and analyze why I'm making the mistake rather than just trying to force myself past it.
Yes. It is a limited view.

> someone that lives code

> programmer that never goes out to socialize.

I never said that someone has to live and breathe work, only that they don't have anything _higher priority_ than work.

If I have social plans with my friends I'll likely cancel them if there's a bona fide work emergency. If I have family obligations I cannot and will not.

> I'd rather meet and make friends

OK, and I'd rather ski for an hour or two every weekday morning, then come home and shower and finally start working at noon.

I just don't see why I would expect the work opportunities available to me, and the compensation, to be no less than someone who doesn't have that requirement.

Having kids is a lifestyle choice that is at odds with other choices. If my preferred lifestyle is to be a starving artist/musician, or a ski bum, but I also want to have kids and so might have to suck it up and take a soul-sucking corporate job, no one is going to shed a tear for me.

But if instead of rocking out I just want to get the same jobs and paid the same salaries as people who are actually much more productive than myself, that's somehow not only reasonable but unimpeachable.

All it really is is another in a long line of examples of people with kids expecting special privileges and support for their personal lifestyle choices, not only from society at large (maybe reasonable) but from everyone, individually (not).

If you want society to subsidize having children, then the government should do it, not individual software teams.

Can you elaborate on this a bit and/or share article(s)?

Ideally a proper DNN reconstruction would learn the mapping from the raw-space to image-space. See, for example: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature25988 .

There is just too much redundancy in MRI data, and initiatives such as FastMRI are fundamental for us to learn what the limits are of feasible acceleration.
Also, some MRI scans take forever and cannot be used in vulnerable populations because of, e.g., breath holds, the need to stand still, etc. The image quality, perhaps counter-intuitively, in some situations improves with acceleration.

> If I had my way this would be considered employment discrimination and grounds for a lawsuit.

I took issue with the tie stuff, myself, in another comment. It's unlikely to be discriminatory, except in the case -- as you mentioned -- of things that fall into the practice of religion. It's funny, though, how different sectors view the "tie in an interview". I know of many jobs where failing to show up in a tie to an interview will end the interview before it starts. I think software development is leaning in the other direction. And it's all a bit silly to a lot of us from the sounds of it. Standards exist for a reason -- if the tie-less interviewer showed up in a swimsuit with no shirt, I'd imagine he'd do worse than the guy wearing a tie.

As I mentioned in a previous comment, the issue is that someone is passing judgement on you as a candidate based on information that is unreliable to draw a conclusion from. My answer is to provide that information "My dad was a business owner and beat into my head that 'you wear a tie to an interview', plus I have far too many Jerry Garcia ties for how infrequently I get opportunities for wearing it" (I've even jokingly thanked an interviewer for the opportunity to dust off one of my favorite ties). If that doesn't satisfy my interviewer, I don't want the job. I can't manage a situation where "the rules for success" are so arbitrary/subjective that my choice to wear a very loud tie to an interview was enough to eliminate me from the selection process.

Part of it is probably the Garcia ties, thinking about it. They're very stylish, but bold, so while I can wear one to a really formal event and get compliments, the mention of a tie with a loose relation to The Grateful Dead communicates that I'm not much of a tie-kind-of-guy.

I teach mathematics and write math curriculum professionally, and have literally taught the lesson I describe above for the better part of a decade. I say "we" in that post because in more than half of those classes, I did not teach it alone, but in a co-taught inclusion class for special education and general education students together. None of the classes where I used this lesson was an "honors"/"accelerated"/"pre-AP"/etc. class.

Every single one of those students was able to derive the quadratic equation by completing the square. It was not easy for some of them, but every single one did it.

Your parenthetical also implies to me that you think that the "truly disadvantaged" have less "mathematical skill". I would encourage you to reflect on that.
It sounds like informing everyone that these options exist is part of creating a more equal opportunity. If two people didn't have the same information for available options then there wasn't an equal opportunity.
I don't know, that line of thought seems myopic to me.

A person doesn't need a globally completely consistent set of priorities to accomplish anything.

I've been with Robinhood for over 3 years and I have had zero issues with my portfolio or any features around managing my account day-to-day. The only thing that tripped me up was the transition from Apex to their own clearing house, so I had some extra paperwork to file w/ the IRS during that transition year.

I see a lot of people saying things like "I don't trust Robinhood with my money". I am curious what scenario you see unfolding with Robinhood that could result in loss of your assets. Especially scenarios impacting Robinhood uniquely. Are you aware that Robinhood, as well as virtually every other brokerage in America, provides SIPC insurance up to 500K USD on all (non-crypto) investment accounts? This is on-par with the same kind of protections you get with any FDIC-insured checking or savings account. In order to even qualify for this kind of insurance, Robinhood had to essentially sell its soul to the various auditors and regulators. Regulations around these kinds of businesses are incredibly stringent. You would probably feel a lot more comfortable with any arbitrary brokerage if you had to sit through one of their audits, or were simply made aware of how extensive it is.

There is certainly a lot of "controversy" around Robinhood in the press lately (surely no competitor would stand to gain from running hit pieces against a zero commission broker), but from a purely academic standpoint, it is just noise and doesn't impact the ability of the firm to carry out its fiduciary duties in a reliable and consistent manner.
You'd probably need to start with a lone crow. As a group they can be quite nefarious and clever about it. I once slowed down a group of crows from killing and eating an injured bird; once they boldly got past my interference, they formed a sub-group and that sub-group followed me all the way home (1/2 mile) hopping from tree to tree, cawing the whole way.
Yeah, they're hidden in the light fixtures and smoke detectors.
I think yelling is a signal to attract attention in a fear inducing/adrenaline charged situation. I was a little fearful for my own safety and I figured that if I was loud enough, someone would hear me if things got out of control.

To clarify: this wasn’t an office environment. This person was a tradesman and we were working alone with a lot of heavy tools around.

So what if it drove itself down the freeway? This is literally the easiest thing that "self-driving" vehicles manage to do.

Did it fuel itself? Did it take exits and drive itself to the gas station? Where did the driver take over when it got near the delivery docks? Did the truck also get clearance and dock itself? Did the truck even pull itself out of the loading dock when it first embarked on it's trip? Those are the hard things to solve, and conveniently are omitted.
Internet Providers Inflate Official Speed Results
10.9 hasn’t received security updates for three years and a half years. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222

Running an old version of an operating system that’s not actively getting security updates, let alone gotten any at all for over three years, is crazy. It’s one thing to run it offline or heavily firewalled for a limited purpose, like running some important application that doesn’t work on current versions. But to actually use it day to day is absolute madness.

I hope you’re not handling any information that you have a duty to someone else to keep safe. Putting it on such an old OS release, through intentional and tedious effort on your part, would be outrageously negligent. Even logging into work email through that setup would be irresponsible. Or accessing any email account to which someone has sent private information (so just about any email account you actually use). It’s negligent with regards to your own data too of course, but at least that’s just your problem.

Yeah, it's not downward social mobility, crippling education and medical debt, 20 years of pointless war, militarized police and active school shooter drills, impending climate crises we're politically powerless to act on, ongoing erosion of workers rights, no expectation of ever owning a home or retiring, or any other number of uniquely grim realities these generations are burdened with - naw it's smartphones, instagram, and 'not learning to take control of your own life'... and your employer's HR department is here to help.

All social media did was make people realize they're not the only one.

Yes, because cherry-picking any one of those problems, while ignoring the mountain of other ones is not particularly productive.

If you can't get access to third party record rules overturned (Good luck, there's centuries of legal precedent for this sort of thing), it's not a hill worth dying on.
Not sure I quite understand the argument against Facebook here, though I might just be missing something.

The market for messaging apps is pretty saturated with competitors at the moment; if I didn't like their WhatsApp and Facebook accounts merging, for example, I could just bounce to iMessage / Kik / Snap / Telegram.

Whether or not you agree / disagree with the security & user experience argument from FB (I personally can see both sides,) the low switching costs will always mean the user has quite a bit of power here.
How do you get a macro to make an L-value out of a bitfield? That is, it goes on the left of an assignment. I'm doing stuff like this:

ethdev->phy.foo = val; // foo is a bitfield in struct phy

cpu->status.irqlevel = newlevel; // irqlevel is a bitfield in the CPU's status word

No, I don't want a 2-argument macro (or worse, with an implied variable) called something like SET_FOO or SET_IRQLEVEL.

Crummy coding guidelines are not a useful argument against the value of bitfields in the C programming language. Coding guidelines can also ban floating-point types, recursion, or symbol names longer than 6 characters. The problem is not C. The problem is the coding guidelines.

Having your life compromised is never comfortable, but it's never less comfortable then when you suddenly realize you're being watched and having your home "invaded" in a potentially very personal way.

So if I understand it, the scenario is the digital equivalent of someone who uses a single key to fit every lock in their lives -- front door, back door, car door, ignition, safe deposit box, etc...

The key is stolen, possibly through no specific fault of the owner, and the owner may not realize it has even happened...

...and then these discord shock jocks go off and brute force these compromised email/password combinations until they stumble upon a working pair and then the hapless victim is subjected to the electronic analog of them unlocking the front door of their home and bursting into the living room yelling "hahaha gotcha, kill yourself!"

...all in order to increase their views/ratings.

I think it's just a shitty thing to do, but even more so when it involves children, or people who have no control over the cameras (like animal shelter workers)... I suppose _maybe_ if they made an effort to alert the owner first, an email "hey we have your u/p, if you don't change it in 72 hours you're going to be on our show"...

I think the nulledcast crew ought to take a lesson from Jon Stewart: BE A FUCKING PERSON ... think about how shitty what you're doing is, and no, the fact that these people are saps with insecure logins does not mean they deserve this.
> Adding up all the inaccurate redness ratings—“gray,” “pretty gray,” “whitish gray,” “muddy brown,” and so on—and averaging them leads us further away both from learning anything reliable about the individuals’ personal experiences of the rose and from the actual truth of how red our rose really is.

I don't understand this comment. How does averaging noisy signal, even systematically noisy signal, result in something that is noisier than any individual signal? I would have assumed the average would converge on (real signal + systematic error).
