There's a bunch of larger companies in Manchester (ARM, IBM and more) but also a bunch of smaller startups; however without the experience it might be hard.
You could try for a job as something like a software tester if any are going and see where you can get from there.
Also, depending on which hard science your degree is in, you might try finding some companies with overlap.
Thanks for the advice! I really don't need distributed copy of the app or miners. But, the app can be edited by anyone. So, everyone who is using the app should be able to approve the latest change. Will blockchain work for that usecase - allow strangers to edit the app and "trust" they did it correctly?
In this case the manufacturer is also an Amazon seller, so buying through them instead of a third party could help.

As you note, due to stock mingling that doesn't ensure that you won't get a counterfeit, but it probably does at least give you better options to deal with it if you do.

If you buy from Aspects, and Amazon's mingling means you get a cheap counterfeit, I'd expect you'd be able to get an exchange from Aspects.

If you buy what purports to be an Aspects feeder from "Sneed's Feed and Seed" [1] and you get sent a cheap counterfeit, you might be out of luck.

A year or two ago, I freed up like 100GB of space from my Windows OS drive by deleting these files: https://serverfault.com/questions/746849/windows-temp-large-...

It was a corporate laptop, so maybe the problem exacerbated itself to that level due to frequent patches the employer was pushing.
Probably because YT and Google are the only two of the 20 big enough to be an antitrust danger.
Wow thanks! I spent two weeks to create that space illustration myself so I guess it’s worth it... :) please give it a review or spread the word so more people can find it.
> Also, the default behavior is to first ask the user, and with iOS 13 you get again several notifications from the OS that a particular app used your location multiple times over the last X days, with a scary map showing where the app requested the location too

I'm an android user right now, but having the option to see when/where app take advantage of their permissions sounds amazing.

What is this iOS feature called?
Does anyone know of a simple way to do this on Android?
According to [1], "Ded" (literally Grandfather) is used here in the sense of an old man or an ancestor. Snegurochka is his daughter. Ded Moroz's mother was Baba Yaga, and his wife was the Snow Queen. Hope this clears everything up.

I don't feel like creating a userid on his website just to tell him this, but one thing he seems to have missed that may have caused some of his problems is that the ESP32 I/O pins are 3V and NOT 5V tolerant. Elsewhere in the article he seems to assume 5V levels (when he's talking about using PWM to output 2.5V from a 5V pin). With an ESP32 or ESP8266 when you need to interface with 5V devices you should use a level shifter.
Definitely. It would be surprising if genetics affected almost any of these problems tbh. Much more likely is that the damage arises in a poisson ransom process or whatever and we have little recourse
Very informative. Thank you!

Python dictionaries are ordered, and iterate in order (since 3.6, as guaranteed property since 3.7). In older versions of python where they are not ordered, str also does not preserve the order in the literal (except for one of all possible orderings).

Python 3.7.2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> str({5:6, 4:5, 3:2})
'{5: 6, 4: 5, 3: 2}'

Python 2.7.15
>>> str({5:6, 4:5, 3:2})
'{3: 2, 4: 5, 5: 6}'

You might consider what I wrote offensive, but maybe you can still take the above as evidence that there are areas where your mental model is imperfect. I have the impression there is a puzzlingly common class of CS engineering failures stemming from misguided abstraction attempts because people are either unable or just unpredisposed to making extremely back of the envelope task breakdown of the most direct implementation in terms of primitive, costed operations. I also see this happen to rather smart but inexperienced engineers. Since you are not inexperienced my advice is unlikely to be helpful.
Polish borders were decided in Postdam conferrence between USA, UK and USSR with a pupped goverment that acted as reprezentation of Poland. But they were USSR designates. Polish government in excile was not invited to the talks. So Poland could not annex anything. The big 3 decided how to draw borders.
I’d also be interested if people could add if being on call is (a) voluntary, or (b) required on their team.

Also, it’d be good to know if on call comes with additional compensation?
funny, I could rescue an small laptop with 32GB eMMC and 2GB RAM from been thrown away just a day ago

i did a fresh win 10 install and it works amazing fast
but I have just around 5 gigs left after updating and i want to work with linux as well

does somebody has some tips for slim it down and get the most out of it?
I'd love the have a fixed BT or alternative:
- multi/broadcasting support
- separate device-per channel support
- better device management - priorities, user/sensor/audio context into driver (when to do hand-off and when not to)
have my BT "stolen" by the wrong device daily - a battle between by local headset/speaker, the car's BT stack, and my headphones...

It's great having a minijack to plug into as a backup -- I use it often in the car or w/headphones if I forget something or of BT is giving me a headache - don't think I'd buy a phone w/o one as long as I have a choice. (At least up to my Galaxy S10 there is still one.)

Storage-wise, most of the "bloat" in modern Windows is pretty defensible. The extra space needed for a service pack / feature update is mostly to enable aborting or rolling back the upgrade. A good chunk of a small storage device is reserved for hibernating the system (hiberfil.sys), which might not be great for desktops but is table stakes for battery-powered systems. A lot of seemingly redundant data is from WinSxS (Side-by-Side), which is Microsoft's answer to "DLL hell" and -- loosely speaking -- a precursor to things like Snappy, Flatpak, and AppImage. The same fundamental concerns will most likely cause the average Linux installation to be similarly "bloated" in another 10 years or so as more backward compatibility needs accumulate.
my favorite counter-example here is john bardeen[1]; wins 2 nobel prizes in physics (theory and experiment!) and yet by all accounts was warm and friendly and polite[2].

every time there's some kind of comment like this it always strikes me as self-serving or projection. i have always believed and argued that if you're smart enough for the difficult things (arbitrary tough stem thing) then you're smart enough for the simple things (pleasantries).

> Wow. No tests though

These are commits from the "dark ages" and doesn't mean he didn't test his code locally. The "public" TDD culture didn't really surface until Kent Beck et-al published their TDD manifestos in the early 2000's.
I disagree about your claim re: decoherence. Decoherence is just when any informational aspect of a system leaks such that the mind of an observer can update it’s state of knowledge to know which Everett branch it had been on all along. Nothing “splits” .. you just discover which version of “you” that you are.. which of the continuum of possible outcomes your personal measurement happened to see.

Likewise I think you are incorrect about your discreteness claim. I agree with you that QM suggests the nature of reality is fundamentally discrete, but that reality also places the Born rule as a continuous mixture model across discrete states, and this is specifically what allows there to be a continuum of universes of every measurement regardless of whether the outcome is continuous or discrete.. like reality’s own Lesbesgue-Stieltjes measure.
The latter is required; the former is also “required” but more nebulous (it’s only a problem if there is some incident and then during an investigation, look back and it turns out the bank didn’t file the report, creating a convenient scapegoat in an otherwise difficult case).
> My AirPods will drop out if I cover my iPhone 11 Pro with my hand in my pocket. (snip) Bluetooth has issues.

To be perfectly honest, that doesn't sound like a bluetooth problem at all. That sounds like an Apple defect in their product.
Let's say there's "slowness" on a route in a Rails app. A
really junior engineer might start blindly optimizing.

A mid-skill engineer might start by trying to diagnose the problem, and usually will get somewhere, but occasionally they'll run out of ideas. They might assume it has to be one of the things they've seen before, but their list is not exhaustive.

A top engineer will start by looking at the big picture and generating hypothesis. They will usually be able to generate more hypothesis and have more ways to test them than less seasoned folks. Often this is because they've seen more things.

For example, off the top of my head, the slowness could be:

- n+1 query problems

- slow remote service calls

- streaming to slow clients

- object allocations

- loops in loops--bad big O

- resource limitation (memory, CPU, IOPS)

- database connection limits

- worker process/thread limit

- frequent cache misses

- noisy neighbor problem

- lack of indexing and data size growth

A top engineer will run through their own list, and for each, they have some ideas on how to check on that item or to rule out what is unlikely. Some of them are trickier than others. The key is they have more angles that they'll know off-hand to follow up on.
Can it boot from the microSD card or USB? If it can, you can install Linux on a card or USB Drive just like you do on a HDD or SSD.
The bloat in Windows is an interesting issue. I put together Windows OS images and a freshly-installed, before-updates Windows 10 image might be around 2 gigs (maybe a bit more or less, I’m going from memory here). Granted, a Linux distro may hit that size with a lot more preinstalled software, but I haven’t paid much attention.

Windows starts bloating when you apply updates. It keeps a lot around to facilitate rolling back updates if needed; this gets cleaned up over time but it can be an issue on a small disk. There’s ways to get the size back down (while sacrificing the ability to roll back updates that you’ve applied), but you don’t regain all the space.

I get the feeling the Windows Update mechanism is a large legacy mess that is stuck having to account for corner-cases that have built up over time. Microsoft are improving it; I think it’s just a really big engineering task that they’re having to slowly work through. I vaguely remember something about the way Windows handles overwriting open files in-place which makes this worse, but I can’t remember the specifics off the top of my head.
The proliferation of data platforms and fancy tools makes it easy to build dashboards, etc.

One former colleague is doing a lot of research and statistics gathering by correlating use of campus swipe cards to grades and other academic warning signs.

If they detect that you’re out late, using soda machines at 3am, bugging out for the weekend, etc they may trigger some of sort intervention.

When I look at AirPods and AirPods Pro I don’t necessarily see a platform, but what I do see is the 2nd wearable hit from Apple (after the Apple Watch), and what is likely the basis for their AR platform.

Wearable, miniature, real-time allow-latency (audio) processing and with the precise indoor location tracking on the iPhone 11 series, I see Apple setting the technology stage (as the often do) for a true platform, AR, with these technologies coming together.

This is one of the pieces I’ve been meaning to write up for my audience of zero...

You don't really even need to build one. Buy a $20 toaster oven, turn it on, and put your board in. When your solder paste reflows, turn it off. There is a reflow waveform to follow, but for small runs and personal projects is hardly worth the time and money. Check out YouTube four specifics.
> A drone operator flying like an idiot is far more likely to get other people killed

IF something catastrophic happens. Issue is that a 2lb drone is much less likely to do damage than a plane. You seriously can not compare the two. The danger levels of the two are nothing alike. If they were, I'd agree with you, but these things have magnitudes of difference in danger.
Exactly. And he complains about not being able to search for apps that have location set to "Always" or "While Using", but it is hardly a bother to scroll through the list of installed apps and do a once-over to check their location settings.

He also complains about the "Bluetooth tab" in privacy settings, saying that companies would only need this permission for "crappy tracking". In essence, he makes it sound like Apple is in the wrong for having this setting configurable at all. But has he ever used a phone before? Apps didn't even need to request permission to use Bluetooth radios in older iOS versions. Besides, disabling them completely would break functionality for apps that need to search for bluetooth devices (Smart devices, namely).
Techstars
I’ve tried diving into this in my spare time. Where do you start if you have a web dev background?
Bluetooth access is not required to be able to use headphones connected to the device. It’s for everything else.
The OP's main concern about privacy was that "third parties" might get the data. There is no recognition of the fact that a student might deserve or expect privacy from the school, only from some nebulous Other who is certain not to treat it with the great respect sure to be afforded it by the Benevolent and Definitely Not-For-Profit university. There is no question of whether this totalizing monitoring of a life is an affront to dignity or whether it normalizes authoritarian power structures, only that it is "extremely useful", that is, it subjects pure quantities to optimization.

There is already a lower bound on the level of acceptable data collection set by normal human interaction. There does not however appear to be any upper bound whatsoever suggested by the argument in the OP. As long as the data is not sold and it continues to be useful (ie. the Mathusian race has not yet reached the bottom), no aspect of human life appears to be too sacred to be put into into the optimizer.

(I am not wott, in case you did not notice.)
A business needs cash to operate. It doesn't matter what talent you have if you can't pay them. Startups die when they run out of cash, not because they couldn't hire anyone.

Startups offering more cash has no implication that they must generate revenue (although that's obvious to building a good business). The point is that operational costs exist - and so a business must already have cash to exist - and increasing costs for better salaries and benefits is a better trade-off than increasing equity which is mostly worthless anyway.

Also global tech talent has more supply than demand once you get past the SV/HN bubble. No serious startup has failed because they didn't get the perfect engineer.
Thanks for that information, but I learned that the esp32 is not 5V tolerant the hard way. ^^

Will fix the bit about the PWM in a second
...so does this mean that if you buy a Librem 5, you'll be automatically considered absent and will recieve a lower grade? I can't imagine the apps these colleges are using would be compatible.

I realize this might seem like a lower concern compared to everything else, but it strikes me as one more way that people are permanently locked into the major platforms.
Moon is close by, has plenty of sunlight, aluminum and apparently iron ores, some water. It all is at a reasonable gravity that allows to safety operate on the surface, but cheaply launch a lot into earth orbit, even using electromagnetic catapults that don't require a propellant.

Bluetooth devices often have problems when you're outside, in large rooms, etc. because there aren't any nearby walls for signals to bounce off of, so they're stuck with the lower SNR option of going straight through your body.
Customers saying "this has changed recently" means little. For example, I found such reviews for a pet flea product. When I investigated further I found similar reviews both very recent and going back 4, 6 and up to 8 years. Perhaps there are random bad batches but I suspect that part of the problem is the perception that a product is different. People often fail to recognize other factors such as changes in their own usage patterns, or in this case, changes in their local flea population.
Holy Christ.

Do you understand that if these types of fiefdoms are built, they will be able to attract people with misleading claims or by dangling short-term economic relief in front of desperate people who they can then ruthlessly victimize?

Maybe you do, and you just think "ah fuck em"

Which is in character for the types of people who want to start a fiefdom in the ocean.

I'm gonna have to recommend you pick up BioShock, for real. It's on sale for 5 dollars.
I trust most journalists. I don’t trust any newspapers.

Most news is too complex for the modern news format. And they have to cover too much information

There are tons of really good journalism books.

For example, Ronan Farrows articles are pretty crappy. But his books, including Catch and Kill, are excellent.

Thank you for responding with logic and sense here-- it seems this Twitter user does not understand the history or context behind these privacy choices. Perhaps he should be complaining about his wife, since she was the original perpetrator of bad privacy choices?
Administrators are leaches, at least homeless people pay by the disrespect they receive but administrators suck away resources and hurt people while everyone acts like they actually contribute something to the world. Professors lack the appropriate autonomy to teach and students lack the appropriate autonomy to learn and all the while administrators are seeing what different deals they can make with these software companies to wedge one more thing onto everyone’s machine in order to gain more control.

I’ve been told all this extra tuition money isn’t going to professors or research, it’s just going to administration; they are what we’ve mortgaged the future for.
The repressions varied in time, place and also depended on who's in charge. As the old anecdote goes, bent along the line of the Communist Party.
I don't see why they don't require proof of purchase for every single item in their supply chain by a third party reseller, with valid, verifiable invoices issued only by the OEM.
You mean "It's impossible to predict the bias" :)
Transponders also use a lot of power.. assuming you are looking for 'real' aircraft to see them. Most of the hobby class drones don't have the payload capacity for extra battery. Even a Cessna can't pull of a transponder if the alternator goes bad (for very long).

The N number is there for when the drone crashes into something/someone. They had dropped the requirement for a while - looks like it is back on again.
I just searched for "toyota oil filter", "logitech mouse", and "play yard", and I never got an option on the left side to restrict the search results to a specific seller.
So the music app might work fine without bluetooth access, but his point on the Sony app is valid. If you need to set up a new pair of headphones, Sony needs bluetooth permissions to handle device pairing. I presume you may pair outside of the app and re-launch the app once connected, though.
The last halving was mid 2016, so the retail interest may occur in 2021 if the cycle repeats itself.

Seconded re ZZT. I remember learning HTML so that I could build my first website, which was a ZZT fan website (there were more). That game literally launched my career as a programmer.
