On the other hand, if you're young, one route is to join the military for a lot of those same benefits. That's what I should do honestly, but I value my free time and peace of mind as a civilian too much.

You should look at it this way. You either pay in money through debt, or you pay with your mind and body as a military personnel or a prisoner. Both sucks ass and none of us are any better under this rotten system.
IT is about highly scaled standardized system level engineering of documented verifiable reliable processes in support of even more complicated business processes that theoretically make, or at least save, profit.

The article title is correct in that teens don't know anything about that. Most management personnel don't, either.

Although the article contents seem to be that teens are somewhat worse than average at manipulation of UIs. Given stereotypical teen performance at automobile operation, culinary skills, operating romantic relationships, and muscular coordination in general, I'm not sure why anyone is surprised.
This may be a workaround for the app for those who are more technical. Since I have NextCloud Server set up, I added a custom script on the server to auto-download all my ring MP4s from the Ring Server every 15 mins. Also:

- creates GIF for faster viewing through the nextcloud app.
- updates info for current status of the ring devices.

While I laud the call to be optimistic, Equifax debacle taught us that people can be desentized to seemingly constant stream of news about breaches. And that one breach actually affected people's money.. something sacred in US.

Yes, but "do" and "do better than alternatives" are different things. I already gave examples of possible alternatives/enhancements to typical English text that would help at least my brain. I won't reinvent that sub-discussion here.

How long do you believe it's realistic to keep at it if the benefits come slow? For example, if I keep coding in Lisp heavily for 2 years and STILL find it sluggish to read, is it realistic to then give up in your book?

> From that we can easily see that...

Who is this "we"?

I've been reading words and symbols for multiple decades in various contexts (programming, regular books, etc.). I've concluding after these decades that if used in the right spots, symbols GREATLY ENHANCE my ability to parse/grok/absorb written material IRREGARDLESS of the domain or the specific language.

For example, one thing I like from C# over VB.net is that C# uses square brackets for array indexes instead of parenthesis like VB does. It improved my head's groking speed of array-related code because parentheses have multiple meanings in VB. (I'm not claiming C# is overall better, this is just one aspect.)

Symbols MIXED with words (well) enhance the absorption of words. It's a ying-yang kind of thing. They COMPLIMENT each other. I truly doubt a billion years of using mostly just one OR the other will prove better than using them both.

Sorry, I believe Lisp is just plain lacking there. I want my ying-yang MTV. Go play your Wordy Gurdy in Jennifer's juniper garden.
> It shouldn't be too surprising that people don't bother testing against the only browser that isn't just a download away.

What does that mean? If you want to test Safari you only need a Mac or an iPhone, which Google has plenty of since they make native software for those platforms. If they want to test Chrome on a Mac, they can also test stuff with Safari on that same Mac.
I think you are missing where the author is coming from.

People knew how to use websites and applications in the early 2000s as well, but with the advent of home computers, WWW and smartphones there was a widespread belief that, by nature of being surrounded by tech, young people would automatically learn how it worked under the surface and possess an inherent fluency in IT.

That didn't happen. It's still people interested in tech actually learning the tech and your average high schooler doesn't graduate able to write drivers, create software or hand-code websites and web servers.

It was a belief in the coming of a tech-utopia where every young person would know those things. But it doesn't just come automatically. There has been a huge surge in usage, driven by increased accessibility, standardization and user interfaces that don't require prior knowledge.

A lot of the older generation (probably mostly the less tech savvy ones) still believe we are getting there and have at least somewhat gotten there. We really haven't.
This is changing (slowly) for .NET. Nuget packages support something called Source Link [1] and can embed URLs to Github/Bitbucket/Etc.

IDEs like Visual Studio and Rider can download the code on demand and debug step-through.

Tons of popular .NET libs (including the Microsoft ones) already support this.

I could show this article to my neighbor who owns a Ring doorbell and he wouldn’t care. Nobody I know seems to care about digital privacy.

Ouch. The root of the issue is that they do a validity check for the local and domain part of the recipient email address. If either one (or both) is invalid, they then check to see if the domain part is empty. If it is, they replace the empty domain with the default domain, and then say it's all valid, ignoring the fact that the local part might also be invalid.
This seems like it's missing the punitive character of imprisonment.

But even ignoring the suffering inflicted by the prison system, both on the incarcerated person and their family, your example should make us ask -- when does it even make sense to put a person in prison to remove the opportunity to do crime?

How much do you think a person takes per mugging? People don't carry that much cash these days -- suppose one mugging gets you $100 (seems high).
Apparently the cost of keeping someone in prison varies by a lot from state to state, but an average value is around $33k, which comes out to around ~$630 per week -- i.e. we're likely paying more to keep your hypothetical criminal in prison than they would cause in crime on the outside.

And when you look at stuff like drug crimes, it gets hard to even figure out what the actual cost to society is for the crime -- but we put a lot of people in prison.

Even if you disregard the suffering inflicted by incarceration, even if innocent people are never convicted, sometimes prison is a bad deal for _everyone_.

Don't know how an unsubstantiated rant like this (from 2016, no less!) is trending, but I'll respond.

When I was a teen, I knew practically nothing about computers - I remember trying to use regedit to hack a server-side game because some friend told me to. I could type and play games and surf the internet, that was about it.

I wrote my first program in college, and I'm doing reasonably well in software (graduated 2017 with a SWE job at median wage for my area, job hopped for a 20% raise after a year, and just got put in for a promotion at my new job).
There's no golden age when people used to know how to use computers. It's always been a small percentage that had any idea how things actually worked. You used to have to have that type of obsessive, systemizing kind of mind to work things at all, so most people just didn't. For every one of us futzing around with autoexec.bat, there were a dozen or more who didn't care to frig with systems where troubleshooting was more complicated than turning it on and off and blowing dust out of the cartridge.

Most people are not curious nor do they care to know things at that level of detail.

I think you're right, and my wording isn't as precise as it could be. There's still the concept of societal violence though, where society is set up to form or force its inhabitants into shapes they would naturally not be able to contort into. Its a matter of degrees. The more a society has exacting expectations of its inhabitants, the more there will become troublesome elements.

Eat lots of fruits and veggies. try to make 50% of your diet fruits and veggies. the other 50% should be Whole grain, beans, nuts/seeds.

Right, this system would run through the entire runlist at several kHz when idle and 0.5-1kHz under load on a PowerPC 405 that ran at about 200MIPS. Our shortest deadline was 10ms so it was plenty fast enough. Context switch was swapping out 12 machine words.

FISA warrants extend two steps removed from the target. Consider what this means for the Carter Page warrant:

1. can spy on Carter Page

2. can spy on anybody who communicated with Carter Page

3. can spy on anybody who communicated with anybody who communicated with Carter Page

If a person exists who communicated with both Carter Page and Donald Trump, then the warrant allows spying on Donald Trump. It is nearly certain that such a person exists.

At the same time this was going on, restrictions on dissemination of the unredacted information were greatly reduced. The information was being put into briefings delivered to large numbers of people.
>The victim must have severely diminished critical thinking ability for the scam to work.

This is why lists of "elderly owned" phone numbers go for so much on the black/gray market. The cost of running these scams is so low that they spam everyone with their bait, but I suspect the real cash cows are elderly people who have large savings / Social Security checks.

Part of the problem is that it is super difficult to teach a parent or grandparent what inspect element even is without delving deep into Web infrastructure and how browsers work...very complicated, technical explanations. Simplification works to a point, but if you just tell them "don't trust what you see on the screen" they'll ignore actually important warnings, blast through alert boxes faster than they can read them, and when your next lesson includes "look for the green padlock next to each address" they'll just get even more confused since, you know, you just told them not to trust anything.
Okay so what’s driving recidivism in the 92% of the former prison population that wasn’t housed in a for-profit prison? What’s driving recidivism in states like Illinois and New York where private prisons have long been banned? Or the 23 other states where, although private prisons aren’t banned per se, private prisons hold 0-1% of inmates?
Looks like the assembler has free-form syntax, simple text-replacement macros, assembly-time infix integer arithmetic, decimal, binary, hex, labels (including backpatching of arithmetic results, naturally), ifdefs, and some of the Z80 extensions to the 8080 instruction set? No stacks, recursive macros, conditionals in macros, typechecking, variadic macros, or user-defined opcodes? Roughly speaking it looks similar in power to the assemblers we used to use under CP/M, unless I'm missing something.

I've found C# to be one of the easier languages to do multithreading with. I think this is owing to the capabilities of a Visual Studio like parallel stack viewer.

Also, anyone working with an OOP should really read Java Concurrency in Practice. That really helps in terms of learning how to think about multiple threads in a OOP world.

Not sure how events by themselves can solve the threading issues as events can be multi-threaded too. I've seen people write far worse event driven code than multi-threaded code. If people want to use events heavily, I think it's better to use a well known design pattern so others can understand what you are trying to do.

Well, after all, the whole point of these tires is to dig into the "road" to get better traction than is possible with normal friction, so it's not too surprising that they dig in to a lesser extent on hard surfaced roads.

That said, this type of tire is a very tiny fraction of the total miles driven on public highways, and so if you're looking for someone to tax based on the costs they create, it's all heavy trucks.
