As long as you're anonymous enough about it, I don't see why running your own [private bridge] is any less anonymous than using an unpublished bridge, or a snowflake proxy.

An adversary with lots of intercepts could certainly figure it out. But otherwise, how would anyone know?

And at least, it protects you from malicious guards.

Also, your point about violating a residential ISP's ToS is troubling. Because nobody in their right mind ought to be running any sort of Tor relay from home. It's a ~sure way to get your IP address on many blocklists.

And about getting notices, that only happens for exit relays. Not for guards and middle relays.

Edit: Actually, I meant running your own unpublished bridge, not guard. In the bridge torrc:

ExitRelay 0
BridgeRelay 1
BridgeDistribution none
PublishServerDescriptor 0

And in the client torrc:

UseBridges 1
UpdateBridgesFromAuthority 0
Bridge [transport] IP:ORPort [fingerprint]
The problem is that a certain social standing is only attainable by a limited number of people. While college may be necessary to get to that social standing, not everyone will be able to get there, even if they go to college.

If your only reason for going to college is to try and attain that certain social standing, and you fall short, then it truly was a waste of money (and, more importantly, time). Colleges do have a struggle to convince those people of their relevance.

A similar phenomena has been seen in incomes. Incomes have held stagnant for decades, even as more and more of the population have become credentialed. Maybe a degree is necessary to reach the top 1%, but those who fall short of that goal are no better off than people were in the past, when they didn't go to college.
I know that using .c and .h files is the traditional way of doing it in C, and I started the engine this way, but to be honest, is there any gain to it in this scenario?

The headers are library code, and having more files just means more maintenance and build complexity. Is there another advantage I am not aware of?

I'm actually with colorincorrect here. There's a nontrivial overlap between formal modern Chinese and Classical Chinese.

This is especially evident if you ever read contemporary Chinese works about Chinese history. Large tracts of Classical Chinese are discussed without translation assuming the reader understands the text in question and often the contemporary work itself can read very classically.

Modern literature can also occasionally lapse into Classical Chinese constructions for a sentence or two.

And anecdotally I don't think I've ever met a Chinese high school graduate who didn't have some proficiency with Classical Chinese.

I've said this before elsewhere, sometimes it's useful to think of Classical Chinese as a separate language from modern Chinese, sometimes it's useful to think of it as an extremely elevated register of modern Chinese. Modern literary works can be more or less "classical" in nature depending on the whims of the author.
I feel you. First thing I do is setup some form of hot reloading. In my last workplace we want from half a minute to <5 seconds of dev loop iteration. It’s a night/day difference.
Her book with Katrina Owen “99 Bottles of OOP” lays out an even better case for this I think. Particularly useful is the introduced language to help measure the state of a codebase (“shamelessly green” vs “incomprehensibly concise” etc).

Also quite like Fowler’s observation in Refactoring that (to paraphrase) abstractions are earned, not enforced.

I think this is quite an oversimplification. If it was purely neurochemical, you wouldn't find any developers (or any other profession where performance is measured) who are productive during times of depression or grief. Yet sometimes those are the most prolific periods for folks (see many NBA stars this past week after Kobe's death, or the output of artists dealing with pain).
“UK plc” is common parlance here. I’m guessing the (British) Economist is awkwardly trying to use the same idiom.

The problem with Taleb is that he's incapable of recognizing any error, and he's not smart enough to do novel intellectual work. I recall pointing out some trivial mistake in the stat reasoning on some Facebook post of his, in a comment section full of fawning adulation by sycophants, and was immediately banned.

What really draws people to him is that controversial overconfidence, mostly from folks who don't understand the math anyway but are drawn to the personality. It's the standard confidence con frankly not much more sophisticated than Alex Jones. He mostly got lucky publishing a book about market crashes right as the market crashed, that's pretty much the extent of what his fans understand about the matter.

I consider Tor to be completely compromised. Consider this:

1) Political entryism by ideologues. These people stand against merit, and these are the same people who every few weeks post a lead-balloon of a thread against it in this very forum and others.

2) Recent purge of non-aligned team members on trumped up bullshit that only offends the now-dominant political ideas

3) Large, long redesign with obvious flaws

4) Unwillingness to address the reported flaws

We are not talking about ICQ here, we are talking about Tor. If the Tor team is not concerned about this, then what are they concerned about? What else are they even doing? Why is it that in this age of total surveillance, when even Torvalds had to face the wall while they purged his team, nobody in power is bothered by Tor? Ain't that the fucking shit?

Debug Riot-OS on PineTime Smart Watch with VSCode
I have to disagree. There are people who, outside of any job, discovered programming to be fun at a young age, such as modding games, and if they keep at it, they become at least intermediate-level at a young age. Then there are people who heard coders make good money, studied it in college, and got a job doing it (at a place that doesn't need to pay for, or can't determine, the former type), but wouldn't do it for fun. They know the concepts, but they have a weak link to enjoyment of using them, and only learn what they need as a minimum to make some contribution. They want to like what they do, but it's not easy. The former can easily be 10x more productive than the latter, but they're on such different levels, it's unlikely they'd work side by side so you could compare them. This is ignoring the rare savant who's closer to a 100xer, but I've seen them too.
Depression is weird and influences so much stuff. But give any mediocre dev (or any professional) a dopamine-active drug of your choice and they'll see them skyrocket. It's not a popular opinion but that's the biggest factor in anything. Sure there are IQ differences etc, but they don't matter as much.

How do u suppose startups will cater to these 300 million Amish users?
It's very convenient to think it's a myth or to think that the only way you get to extreme productivity is to be a cowboy, but I have personally seen that it's not the case. Obviously this is just an anecdote, but I have worked with at least one freak productivity monster so I know they can be real.

At one of my employers we had a very large and highly skilled dev community and being quant-biased, we tracked code checkins over time, number of tests written, number of pushes to production etc. I was very proud to be about number 3 or 4 out of about 1000 devs on these productivity metrics consistently over a period of 8 years there.

There was one guy however who literally dominated. Not only was he number 1 on any metric, but he did more checkins than the number 2, 3 and 4 devs combined. He had so many checkins that eventually our glimpse code search index whitelisted his userid because it thought it was a keyword in the language.

And it wasn't that he was a cowboy, he was obsessive about code quality, fixing bugs etc and also was top if you looked at test coverage etc. He was just a flat out machine - every day he would just come in and code all day whereas I have spurts of productivity with downtime etc. He didn't seem to need to be intellectually fascinated by a project and was just as productive at the beginning as at the end of a project - one of my colleagues joked that this guy's interest level in any project was always 83% ("Almost but not quite very interested") no matter what it was. He was very skilled and just churned out massive amounts of code all day every day. He never fell into the classic engineer's trap of overcomplicating things - in fact a lot of what he wrote was very simple when you looked at it (and I think that's part of what made him so good - he had a brilliance for finding really obvious, simple ways of solving hard problems) and because he wrote tests for everything he didn't really need to go back and or refactor things much.

if you were an alien observing from space and never had personal contact with a woman it would be just as obvious. the idea that it took you being diagnosed with cancer to break your echo chambers is ridiculous.

Tensorflow is only a small subset of the massive engineering investment that has been done into cuda by various orgs and open source projects. We have GPU databases, GPU accelerated analytics packages, GPU accelerated DSP, etc. All with hand-written cuda kernels.

Unless AMD can provide a toolchain which takes cuda code and generates whatever it takes to run it with performance parity to Nvidia cards, it'll never take off.

ROCm is a decade too late to simply coexist with cuda and battle for market/mind share. Unless they can offer a massive perf/cost advantage, there is no incentive for anyone to invest in porting their code.
This.

There's a reason why religions exist. If they didn't increase the fitness of their adherents, they'd die out rather quickly. We may get caught off guard by shifting demographics and a decline in secular value systems. There are many religions which preach the 'fertility gospel' in one form or another. If the religion is effective in keeping the new generations devout, and that is an important question, we're going to have a population explosion.
So by the 10x logic, that would mean that 10x programmer will:

- Finishes 100 sprints, in the same time that your average programmer finishes 10; Given that they are in the same size and duration. This one seems pretty debunkable if you ask me; Never in my life have I seen that kind of proficiency

- Bring 10x more value to the table, compared to the average developer. Sure, maybe - a 10x programmer could probably detect and fix bugs, or improve systems, which will be of 10x more value than the rest. You see this in sales, where rainmakers will literally bring in orders of magnitude more revenue.

But tbh, I don't think it's really possible for some single developer to be 10x, other than through short periods of time. To be consistently 10x over the course of many years, seems extremely unlikely.

However, I DO think it's possible to bring in 10x results if you're in charge of the more strategic aspects - but that seems to go more towards leadership, than anything else. But then again, is it possible to be 10x on a consistent basis, throughout your whole career?
If all you need to do is chain together external programs, set environment variables, redirect filehandles, iterate over files, etc with the tiniest bit of logic, and don't want to have to set up an execution environment or download something to do it, and want ultimate Unixy portability, and you want virtually anyone to be able to read and maybe modify it, you want shell.

If you need to do a very specific task that involves interpreting/modifying data structures/formats, if you have non-trivial logic, if you need to use a module, if you need to access an operating system primitive which Unix shells don't really expose, if there's no Unix tool that does what you want, or you just need more control/certainty/reliability, you want Python or something else.
Do you believe that 0.1x developers exist? In a crowd of "0.1x" developers a "1x" developer becomes a 10x developer.
Should the conclusion not rather be that the average CMU student is really smart, some are really fucking smart, and a few struggle to keep up? This was conducted through a class assignment at CMU no? I would expect to find a good proportion of 10x engineers no???

Back in the day I really wanted to build an ethernet ready and HTCPCP compliant coffee machine. Never got around to it, but in the days of Pi Zero and similar hardware it's not as of complicated anymore.
Nice try. Manufacturing them also has non negligible costs. I'd only buy synthetics anyway. Not very keen on 18th century slavery, which is pretty close to what happens in diamond mines. In addition to that synthetics are more pure, so better quality if the cut and polishing is done right.
NVMe is somehow better in random access performance. Also ThinkPads before X240 has no space to accommodate M.2/NVMe as those machines predates the standard.

True that. But everyone should keep in mind that script bloat is real. If you're not careful you'll end up like me, and accidentally have to maintain what is essentially npm but written entirely in bash.
It's pretty obvious when one gets stonewalled for political reasons when attempting to contribute to a project.

He doesn't need to provide specific examples or explanations, doing so just makes the issue worse. Often these issues involve specific people and specific intuitions that will be hard to interpret without lots of context. It will put the problem people on the defensive and likely cause some sort of outrage or personal attacks, or other unwanted drama.

Being polite yet firm on his own page is the best that can really be done in these situations. It allows the technical problem to be magnified while not focusing on drama.
> The best actual form of government is technocracy

In a fantasy world where we actually had sciences for all the things governments are asked to do, sure.

But in the actual world we live in, no way. You can't have experts running government if there are no actual experts.
If you have a way to run a server anonymously, then you could just use that instead of Tor.
What is the email? They put it back and just banned it again. This is very frustrating for something I worked long nights for.
Given it's limited to SATA3 speeds, why not just replace the internal hdd with a SATA3 SSD? My X260 is very happy with a 2tb Samsung drive. I suppose this would be lighter, but we are talking about 50g of extra weight for a 2.5" SSD.

Some of the future mods though look very cool. I particularly would like the Unifying Mod & WHQD mods.
A lot of people can write code, but on the path to making a shippable product a ton of programmers don’t have clarity on “what to write next” to arrive at the finish line. It often seems like a product is 80 or 90 percent done, but by the time it is actually shippable as a product, 2x or 4x or more work will be done, and major revisions of the code will happen to reach that point. The real 10x programmers are the ones that have done this enough times that they don’t get distracted doing naive things that will be discarded and redone as often.

I wonder if this study looked at a lot of programmers who just fix bugs or add well-defined features to apps, or really distinguish between those people and people who can build shippable products from ideas.
First: If you're going to do that, then why bother with Tor? Just get a couple of private cloud boxes and make your own VPN. (You'll be just as secure. Which isn't as secure as Tor, but it's better than nothing.)

Second: "An adversary with lots of intercepts could certainly figure it out." Exactly. If you use Tor properly, then nationstates with virtually infinite resources can't figure it out. (That's why some countries block Tor; if you can't crack it, then block it.) But if you run your own guard, relay, rendezvous, or exit node -- and you're the only person who uses it -- then an adversary with lots of intercepts could certainly figure out who you are.
It seems like a proper status code if client visits an url behind a paywall. Very similar to 401. 401 also shows client state of not being logged in.

Seriously? If my phone makes any kind of noise and/or presents any text or other media that I have to look at and/or dismiss then it is not enough spam filtering for me.
It's omitting a lot of details of the methodology.

Is this only including students who did all the problems, ran the test cases, and submitted all the statistics they asked for? That would tend to exclude all the low performers.

And what happened with the defects? Did they just go unfixed, and data for broken programs is included, or did they have to rework them until all tests pass?
I have had this idea also in my head for quite a while. Did not bother to search if it was already done. I am do tired of paywalled things/ads. I do not lind paying, but I don't want to subscribe everytime someone sends me a paywalled link on another website. How many websites and customers do you have?
People around me talk about not just current issues. They talk about own childhood, elementary school teachers, sports club they have been to, what they did with friends, previous jobs.

So college comes up too. Plus if you are hiring it is in cv.

Moreover, the older we are the less interesting new things we have to tall about. We work and then go home to children. And there is often not much else engaging to talk about. So people talk about past.

Is it so difficult to believe that a person could want cost effective healthcare but have vastly different ethical boundaries with regard to how they would be willing to achieve that goal?
Hmm. Couple of thoughts on this one:

1) Our standards for products have grown exponentially. It probably does take more labour-hours to produce, say, a mid-range car today than it did in 1980, but that car does unbelievably more than the 1980 model did. Everything in it is controlled and monitored by software. It has navigation and safety and vehicle control and convenience and entertainment features beyond anything you could get even 5 years ago. It'd be astounding if it didn't take more time to build.

2) Wages in real terms haven't grown significantly in a long time. This translates to labour hours being relatively cheap, so companies can spend more hours on their products for the same R&D budget.
