> > The Federal Reserve system is anti-capitalistic because it removes choice and agency from the market, which are critical components of capitalism.

> I can completely agree with this if Boeing is nationalized. While it's not, if they receive FED money, they would just use it to keep operating, come back to profits in a few years and distribute dividends then. This is a capitalist behavior.

> I wouldn't generalize the fact that financial issues can't impact engineering decisions because I've seen that happening in the past. In the case of the 737 Max is evident: they adapted the 737 with a new engine that was too big and because there was no space to put it, they placed it in an odd position and compensated with Software that was operating silently. They did this to avoid developing a new plane, which would cost them time and money.

Agreeing that the Federal Reserve system is anti-capitalistic but things under it are capitalistic is a nonsensical argument. You seem to be applying "capitalism" to anything you don't like. This is poor argumentation and makes for very poor discussion.

Every engineering project has some sort of budgetary constraints, no matter the source of the funding. Even under ideal conditions, poor engineering decisions have been made. Attempting to just blame everything on a singular cause that you happen to not like does not result the important critical thinking required to uncover and correct actual causes of actual problems.

The numbers for their SATURNV supercomputer are either untrue or absolutely staggering. 4.6 exaflops? #1 on the Top 500 list of supercomputers just barely passed 200 petaflops at peak performance. If you add up the entire list you only get 1.65 exaflops. And LINPACK isn't usually network-bound. How can this possibly be true?
The term terrorism refers to intended effect by the perpetrator. If the goal is to effect change by creating fear, it is terrorism. If the goal is revenge for perceived wrong doing, it is not terrorism.

I would argue most school shootings are also not terrorism. They do create fear, but my impression is that the intended goal is revenge rather than fear. It would be hard to frame them as terrorists; most of them leave behind notes expressing a clear desire for revenge but mentioning no kind of policy changes they want.

I do think most of the race/religion inspired mass shootings were terrorist acts though. Their goal seemed to be spreading fear in those communities.

Day to day work at at $largetechco requires such an enormous amount of context that even a simple task can cause my working memory to overflow, triggering my “this must be fixed, too complex” instinct, and paralyzing my ability to work for long stretches of time.

I find that I have to make a practice of ignoring my refactor instincts, because there usually just isn’t anything I can do.

Externalized context definitely helps, but 1 year in, I’m finding my brain has not adapted to this reality.

I use playgrounds and design documents to do most of my thinking because I simply cannot reason about the real application without my head exploding.

This has improved my thinking tremendously, as I was never someone capable of outlining thoughts before coding them. I still can’t do that, but when I encounter a challenge, I can draw up the simplest possible version of it in a playground, write a document about it, discuss with stakeholders, formulate a plan, then return to the real code where I can put my full focus on managing the background complexity, having already worked out the feature complexity elsewhere.

Please share whatever progress you make. Now doing eldercare. I'm desperate for tools, ideas.

One huge challenge is working with people who can no longer learn. For future, I'm eager to have "futureproofed" tools, protocols, habits, skills. Embed a pill management regiment when someone reaches 60 which can serve another 20-30 years without major modification.

PS- Everyone pill minder I've tried sucks. Every pharmacy app I've tried sucks. I apologize for not having constructive feedback; maybe I'm too close to the problem.
I don't think you're accurately representing what the protesters are angry about. The choice of staying home and dying is a false dichotomy, and many see the lockdown as a unjust assumption of power by governments that don't have the right to take such actions.

Earning a living vs being provided one isn't even really the issue.

> Wanted to reply to your response - the 1200 USD suppliment payment per person MIGHT pay for one months' costs. The US is oging on the third month of shutdown. The only way for many to survive IS to go back to work.

I'm confused. I was saying people could demand more money instead of going back to work... precisely because the $1200 they got clearly wasn't enough (like you also said) and because clearly going back to work is otherwise riskier. You just jumped from "$1200 isn't enough" to "the only solution is to go back to work"?

Many bugs in "overly complex crypto-stacks" are more like "complexity to decrypt was reduced by X%". If it took a regular attacker 1,000,000 years to crack the encryption, it now takes only 900,000 years. So if you are not up against some state sponsored actors, these bugs in crypto stacks should be of no concern. The impact of these bugs is, instead of "nobody can read this data" now "only 10 people on this planet can read the data". That's still better than "anybody can read the data".

And sure there are other kinds of bugs like downgrade attacks but even if an attacker can downgrade you to use RC4 and decrypt data in real time, you are now in the same situation as you were when not using crypto at all. Not even that: to be in the same situation as with no crypto at all, the attacker would need to downgrade/break encryption and signing because breaking only one of both would still not allow modifying the data stream.

Bugs in crypto stacks that allow code execution or memory reads/writes on the server or client are rather rare.
It's worse than that with Amazon.

The AWS Elastic Beanstalk CLI imports my package, but, when prompted to interview with AWS, they absolutely insisted that I perform their clowny online technical screening.

They trust to use my code in their product, but they don't trust that I know basic programming skills. The real kick in the shins is that I successfully passed this screening years ago, which they don't seem to want to count. Anyway, there are a thousand other candidates, f'em.

Something to consider in your tooling for this is to target Backblaze's B2 object store, which supports an S3 compatibility layer [1] (so you shouldn't need to change too much code). I'm unsure if Fastly supports B2 in this configuration yet though.

Took over all of cooking at home - all meals so as to give the spouse a break. Lesson learnt, cooking once in a while is fun but cooking every meal every day (in lock down from march 22nd) is really really hard since it requires meal planning and execution every day from the moment you wake up.

Decided to open source some of the personal projects of mine. https://github.com/vivekhub/password-generator and https://github.com/vivekhub/simplenote-backup. Nothing fancy but something I have been meaning to do and started doing it. Started learning K8S as well so that is a positive. Decided to setup a personal website https://www.vivekv.info as well and had to learn hugo to do that. So on the whole feeling good. Sorry about all the links and plugs but hey I am genuinely proud of what I have done :-)

How to achieve more success without doing more
FYI, if you have an NVIDIA card on your machine, you can run their voice filtering software: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/guides/nvidia-rtx-voice...

It works for non-RTX cards as well with some tweaking (https://arstechnica.com/?post_type=post&p=1670164). Works marvelously for removing background noise - mic hum, typing, cars driving by.

One of the nice things about it is that you can also filter the output on your end - so if you're in a meeting with someone who is sitting outside near a busy road, or they have a roommate who is gaming on a mechanical keyboard, you can filter the noise out without missing something if that person decides to speak up.
So then you're committing fraud or whatever. Once again, law abiding people bear the burden while bogeyman-with-beard just gives a false number.

One of the general difficulties with the government threat actor is that law abiding people have to thread the needle of both technical protection and legal requirements.
Rocksmith pretty good and goes on sale on Steam regularly, if you end up finding that building something will take too much time.
I think we’re getting a bit distracted here by the fact that the frequently used “I literally died [of embarrassment]” is obviously figurative because nobody would be able to use the verb “to die” in the first person in the past tense.

When you get to thinks like “She literally died” it becomes murkier. “I could literally die if I ate shrimp” is murkier still.

This is one of the many reasons I’d like a firm firewall between ‘figuratively’ and ‘literally’. It seems I’m constantly besieged by the “language evolves, deal with it” crowd, but what they don’t get is that it’s all fine and well when language evolves in such a way to become more precise (perhaps by adding terms that distinguish between things that were previously lumped together, such as ‘dumbphone’ and ‘smartphone’ splitting from ‘cellphone’, itself a portmanteau of ‘cellular’ and ‘telephone’, to distinguish it from a fixed line) or to make meanings quicker to convey in conversation (by abridging the latter to ‘convo’, for example), but the ‘figurative’ versus ‘literal’ debate is very different, because it’s one of those relatively few instances that add ambiguity, making meanings (at least potentially) harder to convey.

Young kids are an 80 hour per week job. The only way anyone has time for paying work normally is school, daycare/relatives, or one partner dedicated to child-raising. Even for the non-child-caring parent the kids fill in the remaining 30-40 hours after the "real" job and commute. I don't think most people have much left after being switched "on" 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, week after week.

How does anyone get stuff done beyond the requisite 40, with kids? Two proven strategies: 1) ignore the kids a lot, 2) hire help. That's what all those famous old guys who discovered all kinds of cool stuff or wrote amazing literature or philosophized or whatever, while also having kids, did. Probably there are super-humans out there who manage without doing those things, but I'm not convinced they're common enough to count on or to give much consideration. Nb some people will hire help but not really want to tell people they have—don't assume someone blogging about raising kids while doing 100 other things, or crushing it at work, hasn't hired help just because they don't mention it. Decent odds they have.

>> Many people in the US want to earn a living, not be provided a living.

> I don't think you're accurately representing what the protesters are angry about. Earning a living vs being provided one isn't even really the issue.

I'm sorry, I was just replying to what you wrote, and you were telling me that the issue is earning a living. Now you changed your argument entirely. So you're saying this isn't even about making a living then, given that paying people would clearly solve that problem? That means you're concluding it's really a political protest then? Isn't that a pretty strong, rational reason for everyone else to actively ignore the protesters in that case? Rather than "show a little more compassion" for something they're not protesting about?
Being able to code is highly correlated with being male (or inversely, being male is correlated with being able to code). I think you mean causation rather than correlation? The correlated nature of these two attributes is a matter of statistical fact, it doesn't imply that women are worse than men at it.

All such measures are subjective. What rights the reviewers see as important will change ratings. There is no fair way to compare countries that everyone will agree on. If you really want to compare rate countries we first need a crittera discussion which will take a long time (and most people probably don't actually care enough to complete it)
I'm sure the validation process is just "form written on". You could probably write down 867-5309 and walk out w/ your sandwich.
I think we all believe that there are rights that should Never Ever be done away with, no matter what the cost. And if the government asked to violate it, that's a sign that they are inherently being untrustworthy. Suppose that a government said that it was necessary to knowingly inflict a cruel and unusual punishment in a particularly egregious circumstance. I think you'd agree that it is insufficient to let the government do this, and let the courts sort it out in a few years, well after the fact.

Assuming, for the sake of argument, that these debts do not begin at "fictional" and go from there (and this is a viewpoint I don't personally hold, so long as reserves are denominated in the U.S. dollar its motion and not the numbers on a balance sheet are what actually matter): spending creates money, taxes destroy money. If you're worried about inflation, tax better. Which is not merely "higher", but involves effectively targeting those taxes too for more returns.

This is a generality and of course it's more nuanced than just this, but "spend in bad times, tax in good times" is a reasonable place to start. Where we have problems is that the "tax in good times" side of this keeps getting dropped for one reason or another. Cynically, I notice that this "for one reason or another" coincides strongly with a particular political party being elected once good times are back so that they can proceed to drive it off the nearest hillside yet again and somehow blame "government" for it.
