Misusing common words isn't a good sign for any argument. To allow something to arise, whether it be a thought or anything else, is not suppression. To note it is not suppression. To not focus on something or not return to it is also, not suppression. There is no act or mechanism of suppression or inhibition.

I read the paper before I commented, and one of the cited ones from it that mentioned suppression. The talk about active inhibition. For example, from the paper you linked:

> Despite these efforts, unwanted thoughts sometimes per- sist. People can try to ignore these thoughts, negate them, sup- press them, correct for them, or think about something else, but unfortunately, these mental activities can be difficult to implement and do not always work in the intended ways (Wegner & Erber, 1992). For example, attempts to negate or suppress stereotypes and prejudice can backfire and produce an increase in unwanted thoughts (e.g., Gawronski, Deutsch, Mbirkou, Seibt, & Strack, 2008; Macrae, Bodenhausen, Milne, & Wheeler, 1996; Monteith, Sherman, & Devine, 1998). Also, attempts at correction for unwanted thoughts can lead to
biases in the opposite direction (e.g., Martin, 1986; Schwarz & Bless, 1992; Strack & Mussweiler, 2001; Wegener & Petty, 1997; Wilson & Brekke, 1994).

None of that, regardless of whatever semantic distortions you put on it, is allowing something to arise and simply noting it. That is the process of mindfulness. That is not:

- to ignore

- to correct

- to suppress

- to think about something else

So it's not a semantic argument at all.

Please, try not to call me "dude". Suppress the impulse if that makes more sense to you.

Yep, I agree. That's why I said it was perfectly defensible. Getting burned by Mark in the past causes me a bad _feeling_, though, and the world of feeling and the world of logic often don't intersect, even within the same person. Basically I acknowledge that my feelings aren't logical, but that doesn't make them not exist.
I read the book. In my opinion, it's just a puff piece oriented towards a slightly more technical audience.

The entire Renaissance org is pretty walled-in, and in my opinion it is pretty obvious that based on returns they must be exploiting an edge that treads the line of legality.

Measurements cause it to occur. What causes entanglement to occur?

Not sure how it works, but Wikipedia says that it can be explained using Copenhagen carefully.

> (1/sqrt(2))(|up>|you after observing up> + |down>|you after observing down>)

After the measurement I’m not in a superposition of the two entangled states but in one of the two, because I do observe the photon in a particular spin state. Which one is it? And how is it decided?

EC2 sends DEK(Data Encryption Key) from the volume Metadata to the KMS (Key Management Service), KMS decrypts the DEK with CMS(Customer Master Keys), EC2 stores the decrypted DEK in hypervisor memory to decrypt the volume.
It's not about take-home for the individual, it's about the fact that the per-hour price point at the point of sale, even for highly-competitive services, bottoms out in the $80-100/hr range. You just can't really sustain a legitimate business on less.

Lots of freelancers set their price with their salary in mind instead of considering the several moving parts involved in running a business. It's useful to consider that all the local small businesses around you, the type of places that have already been competed down to the price floor, still need to be making around $100/hr to stay afloat.
There are many cases of people who get organ transplant inherit the memory of the donor. I have heard in more than one places or another. A simple search on the web will yield this:

We still don't know squats about how memory are stored. And cases like that can be a valid argument for memory and consciousness being a non-local phenomenon. Kinda like how client-server model in CS. ;-) . Are our brain just a browser?
> Okay, so how are you irrefutably proving a server is clean without physical monitoring?

I imagine the idea is to have something like Intel SGX's enclave attest a hash of the filesystem image that was booted, then publish that filesystem. The filesystem should not allow any kinds of modification or login. If the machine's hosted somewhere like AWS, that quickly gets you towards the point where you could believe that it's not plausible for PIA to alter that machine once it's booted, and can see for yourself that it does not store or transmit logs.

If it's not hosted on an independent cloud provider like AWS, I don't think it's possible. A belief that the physical hoster isn't going to collude with the group deploying the machine to take advantage of physical access seems like a requirement. I might not trust Amazon, and I might not trust PIA, but I can probably trust that Amazon isn't willing to throw away its reputation by backdooring its security offerings in collusion with PIA.

(Although note that SGX claims to be resistant even against physical access -- the private key never leaves the enclave and will only sign statements in a tamperproof way.)

FWIW, I don't think this particular use case is well suited to a Secure Boot scheme, although I admire the goal. The logging could simply be happening on a machine that your packets reach before the provably clean machine, unless the very first PIA-owned machine you hit is one of these transparent end nodes, I guess?
> I've been coding for half my life, out of pure interest for the building things and never got into it for the money.

Since you are passionate about programming you'll probably be miserable in many other fields, say, medicine. So you have to include CS in your future. But maybe you could minor in something else?

When I was in school we had an actual doctor come to our class since he needed IT knowledge to manage an IT grant their hospital was taking.

In many ways IT / CS knowledge is worth more if you do it on top of the actual job. Very few people like this.

I think a good career is one where people come to you. You have to be very skilled or popular for companies to come rushing to you when a system crashed or something. Otoh, people will rush to a doctor or mechanic or attorney, etc. Accounting is also very logical and companies need good accountants.

I find Shenzhen fascinating because it IS a city of transplants and migrants - there's even a saying that sums it up quite nicely, roughly translated: If you live in Shenzhen, you're from Shenzhen. Another I saw on the side of a building was "One drink for home, another for Shenzhen"

One thing everyone seems to fail to mention when talking about Shenzhen is that you can do incredible food tours of all of China just by walking down the street - the place is jammed full of reasonably authentic regional food places.

I do generally agree that it's probably a bit dull for 'tourist' activities, but it ranks highly in my 'cities to generally hang about in' list!

"It takes two seconds to decide upon which special-function key to press. Deciding among abstract symbols is a high-level cognitive function. Not only is this decision not boring, the user actually experiences amnesia! Real amnesia! The time-slice spent making the decision simply ceases to exist.

While the keyboard users in this case feels as though they have gained two seconds over the mouse users, the opposite is really the case. Because while the keyboard users have been engaged in a process so fascinating that they have experienced amnesia, the mouse users have been so disengaged that they have been able to continue thinking about the task they are trying to accomplish. They have not had to set their task aside to think about or remember abstract symbols.

Hence, users achieve a significant productivity increase with the mouse in spite of their subjective experience."

this is not research, this is jingoism. i've heard this study cited so many times but never read it ... i'm astonished it is so bad.

Forth isn't super practical in such an environment; gForth in particular is a bit "large". (Not that this is bad, but it's of the second school the article mentions.)
If you wanted, you could cobble together a Forth implementation that played nicely with pipes. I did this, it works fine, but it's not the type of environment that matches Forth very well.

Forth's design is to give you the machine and let you compute with it rather than to act as part of a pipeline.

> you can't take two mutable references to the same variable in unsafe block,

Huh? Creating multiple, unchecked mutable references to the same object is one of the few reasons to even use unsafe. If you get this wrong, Rust's type safety won't save you--any bug effectively undermines the integrity of the remainder of the program. Of course, that doesn't negate the benefits of Rust's type safety, or mean that any program using unsafe is no better than a C or C++ project.

That IS why (engineers are credentialed and regulated).

I think you’re specifying the solution you prefer to the trolley car problem, rather than finding a way out of the problem. I think that’s the point. Decisions need to be made about how to deal with these ethical dilemmas. It shouldn’t be left up to individual companies or software implementations.

Personally, the Toronto map bothers me far more than the NYC map, because here the Toronto street grid is depicted as a NE/SW alignment instead of N/S... and Toronto is closer to a true N/S alignment than Manhattan, which gets a N/S alignment on the map.
Heh, this reminds me of the dumb anti-gay marriage refrain that goes something like, "Gay people aren't discriminated against, they can marry anyone of the opposite sex that they want, just like the rest of us!"

In that sense neither would putting a recursive resolver in your OS.

DNS can have arbitrarily many levels of caching, because stub resolvers can be caches and can point to other stub resolvers.

For example, you might have a DNS cache in your OS so that if more than one process asks to resolve the same name (or the same process asks more than once because it doesn't have internal caching), only one query has to be made. That resolver may point to a DNS cache on your LAN (deduplicating queries between devices), which in turn may point to a recursive resolver on the internet, which may itself be caching data from the authoritative servers.

If you replace that with DoH between the application and the recursive resolver on the internet, all the intermediary caches are eliminated, even though they might have had significantly lower response times than the resolver on the internet.

This is awesome. After years of being a dedicated Dropbox customer, I changed my cloud to Google Drive last year. The migration alone took more than a week, and I've been miserable ever since.

> In the firmware world, arguably if the ESP8266 firmware was written in Rust it's less likely that some of the remote exploits from September would've been possible.

Less likely, but not guaranteed. Rust is still very new, which means if people are migrating from writing firmware in C to Rust, chances are they are going to bring across C habbits, which will frankly lead to writing C in unsafe Rust.

The security of Rust is only as strong as the author who wrote it. We currently don't have anyone who started their firmware career on Rust.

Smart people have been doing good work for the wrong reasons for decades. Really, for a lot longer than that. There's nothing new there.

The quality of life you have as a junior programmer depends hugely, hugely, on the company you work for. So does the amount of money you are likely to pull in. The two are not necessarily inversely proportional. Interview wisely.

Fresh graduates typically have a disadvantage in having little concept of what it takes to get things out the door in a supportable manner, and they will heroically throw themselves into projects they have hilariously underestimated. If you end up working unsustainable hours, there's a good chance you backed yourself into it. Find people and places that can help you avoid those traps early on.

CS as it is taught bears little resemblance to most of the technical work done in Silicon Valley. It also probably has little resemblance to the passion projects you did as a kid. It is not necessary to be a CS major to become a software engineer, no matter what the recruiters think. But, for the most part, it doesn't hurt, and you probably start out with a broader foundation than a non-CS major typically will.

As a programmer, your job is to reify thought-stuff. This gives you an extraordinary flexibility to push your career in a direction you want. Heck, you might find yourself practically switching careers every few years, or you might decide to stick in one area and specialize. Either way, there's plenty of places to turn in CS if you wish to avoid following the herd.

You will hear folks wring their hands about whether their jobs might be automated away in a few years, or whether the economy will hold, or whether the demand for CS jobs is really a myth perpetrated by FAANG to pay below-market wages to suckers, etc. etc. etc. The world has a thousand ways to make you question your worth, and you will probably hear most of them at one point or another.

When I entered the industry a little book had recently come out called "The Decline and Fall of the American Programmer." It predicted that "the American programmer is about to share the fate of the dodo bird." Yet here we are, decades on, just as likely to bang through projects like bucking broncos as ever, but managing to turn out some fine work along the way.

Ask HN: How do you identify with your task?
I find that in personal projects I understand the problem fully and also unconsciously this makes me super on personal projects

At work things are different you are not exposed to all the considerations you are not the person who had the problem you are solving only one aspect of it. This makes me mediocre at job tasks.b it's pretty much impossible to understand the task fully as in personal projects.

Do other people here have this problem as well? If so how do you manage it?

But well, these are mostly really illegal aliens. What's the problem with this? A nation must protect it's borders. I also don't understand the fuss about Trump's wall - only people who could be against it are those who are making money on illegal foreign labor - what can be wrong about border protection? If a nation isn't securing it's borders (and yes shooting on sight those trying to illegally cross is 100% OK), it effectively doesn't exist. This statement may be in doubt about a monoethnic nation-state like say Poland, but for the U.S. which is not just polyethnic, but derives it's main competitive advantage in being so, i can't see any counter-argument. Effectively, this is how U.S. works: by picking best people and letting them in.
