Its called "hazard pay". We're out there earning it.

If you cant keep up? Maybe your business already needs to quit asking taxpayers to subsidize your workforce via welfare. Rent is stupid expensive relative to pay these days.
No, they say it's for your security, and we can surmise that's the actual intention in Apple's case, but I definitely understand the privacy concerns that come with this method.
I've had a successful career as an independent consultant for the last six years and in my experience branding hasn't been a primary concern at all. As @brudgers already pointed out, sales should be your top priority. Until you're fully booked you should be speaking with friends, acquaintances, and strangers every single day to find work. Your next priority should be delivering the absolute best work you can, so that you can stop making cold calls and start fielding inbound leads. Your past clients are your best source of new business. Even better, keep your clients long-term so you're not kicking off new projects all the time.

I don't think this matters as much as what I mentioned above, but I'll answer your questions:

* Maintain your LinkedIn, Twitter, AngelList profiles just enough to back up your credentials when a potential lead google's your name.

* Don't waste your time blogging unless you plan on committing to being the "go-to" individual for a very niche technology/service. You'll read successful content creators advising the opposite, but for each one of them there are 1000 who never got traction, didn't publish anything valuable, or simply gave up.

* Your most important asset is your reputation

* Use your "personal brand" for as long as you can (i.e. until you're hiring other people). Building a reputation is hard enough, don't make it harder on yourself and others by adding misdirection when it's really just you behind the curtain.

* My niche for the most of my career has been "early-stage startup needs product-minded engineer to wear many hats". There has never been a shortage of rewarding work for me, but your mileage may vary.

Good luck! Happy to chat some time if you want to dig deeper. Contact info in my profile.

Most companies I’ve encountered have moved towards split-tunneled VPNs so an employee clicking on a phish page would traverse the employees gateway, not corporates.
Runs fine for me. Are you using a SSD or a hard drive?
"I found that using only one monitor allows me to focus more on what I’m doing, and I don’t miss anything about a multi-monitor setup."

This.

I had the same realization maybe 7 or 8 years ago and it is true for me. With multiple monitors it's like moving your hands away from the keyboard all the time and looking for the mouse. Same happens for me while looking for anything across the 2 or 3 monitor setup. It just weakens your focus... If I'm on a laptop (and I usually am), I just use the laptop's screen. Getting used to a different screen size while working with my laptop setup would also slightly slow me down when I'm bound to use only the laptop.
I don't like it when headlines say scientists are "shocked" or "amazed" (those are very rare in science proper, although you do see it when your paper is rejected/accepted by a major journal.

In this specific case, it is an example of baffling.
I tried that with rebel.ca (domain reg) a few years ago. They setup this dark pattern where domains wouldn't expire they get renewed two months before they were due.

In my case they froze the account preventing me from moving domains. I called support and they unfroze it. The next night the system it froze again. It became a race, manually moving 200 domains over in 12 hours. They don't allow bulk moves and you can't quickly open each domain for editing in a separate tab.

Fyi: Why move. There prices went up to some crazy amount $30 for a .org 60% more for[a .ca it ended up costing me hundreds extra one month. Glad I caught it...

"Ownership", "move", "lifetimes", etc have nothing* to do with what happens in the compiled program. It's a kind of static analysis. The closest analogy from the JS world would be what Typescript is to JS. Though that analogy is far from perfect.

If a function "consumes" your owned value that means the value can no longer be used by you. It's swallowed by the function you called. The function may simply drop the value (in which case the memory is likely freed). But it's also able to reuse the underlying buffer or integrate it into another type. Which is where `into_` comes in. It can take the value away from you and give you back another type which is now responsible for managing your original value.

-----

* Note: "nothing" is perhaps a bit too strong but conceptually it helps to think of ownership as its own thing.
Have you tried stacking mode? The title bar will still be visible, while the window is out of the way. See it in action if you zoom into my monitor on https://michael.stapelberg.ch/Bilder/2020-05-22-desk-setup.j...

That works for me, but I understand it’s not for everyone :)
> Doesn't seem like they went even as far as to get a desk.

In the last onboarding I endured, I was only assigned a desk after I finished after the process ended. Considering how the author claims that she unilaterally decided to skip the onboarding process and instead to present herself unannounced to what she assumed might be her workspace then it's better to take the accusations with a grain of salt.
Out of interest, what circles are you moving in? Are people filling their databses with videos or something?

I'm sure I just lack the imagination, but i cant imagine how there can be thwt many companies who can make TB of data they then want to shove in a database. The complete sales history of even a medium sized company should still easily fit in a GB or two.

> hey "ECMA script is portable and accessible"! So lets "browserify" all the things

It's not because JavaScript is portable or accessible (it's definitely not portable, and if you wanted accessibility you could do much better), it's simply because it's the most popular language.
As the term you cited says, the AGPL only requires distribution if you are providing it to some one else, including as service over a network- if you use it yourself, and don't distribute it (including over a network service) to anyone else, you still don't have to share your source.

Making money is the reason why a for-profit business exists. Keep charging customers because they neglect to cancel is unpleasant, but can hardly be qualify as unethical.

Also, I clicked that "visibility hidden" and got this email:

"Hey Jeff,

You’re no longer letting companies know that you’re open to discussing new opportunities. Your profile will be hidden from employers for the next 24 months. You can change your job search status and make your profile visible again, whenever you feel ready explore new opportunities." (https://imgur.com/a/OBWexgo)

So even that only will get rid of it for 24 months. Let's see if they'll just delete my account.

>there is no mention of getting someone to proofread or even copy edit the book. This would also seem really important for a programming book - e.g. to check that the examples work away from the author's dev environment.

You're actually talking two different things.

Someone needs to proofread/copyedit the book. Full stop. And, unless you have a partner or particularly close friend who will/can do a careful edit for you for a case of beer and a pizza, you're going to have to pay someone.

For a programming book (or other types of technical books), you probably need a technical reviewer. If it's just a sanity check for technical accuracy, colleagues etc. can probably do that. But to work through all the code in a book, again, someone will probably have to get paid.
Hi,

I've been working on this project for the past few months and, while it is far from being completed, I think it's at a point where it can be used/tested.

My goal for this project is to bring a complete, performant spatial stats library to the Ruby/Rails ecosystem. Right now it includes functionality for computing spatial weights and autocorrelations/hotspot stats. I have plans to extend the package to support point pattern analysis and regressions soon.

Right now it is tightly coupled to Rails/ActiveRecord, but eventually, I plan on splitting this into separate Gems to reduce dependencies on different modules and allow this to be used in plain Ruby.

Let me know what you think and if you have any issues/features you want to see, feel free to open it up in the Github repo!
Thanks so much for SQLite. Amazing and stable database. Yazz Pilot (https://github.com/zubairq/pilot) is built on it

I rebuild once a year on average, but not every year (planning to skip this year, for example).

In general, yes, I find it worthwhile to invest money and effort into a faster experience, but I’m very sensitive to latency, so YMMV :)
> Interestingly, this restriction does not apply to goto labels, which you can use first and define later: The compiler can just emit the label as written into the assembly code and let the assembler worry about patching up the jump target.

A one-pass compiler can manage this by maintaining a mapping of undefined labels to a list of goto statements that refer to them. Once the definition is located, unwind the list and fill in the jump values. Types are trickier because the size is unknown.
$50 either way doesn’t change much especially since it’s often lost in motherboards, or if you need to buy a cooler (When B550 motherboards launch the balance will tilt further towards AMD).

What really does make a difference is thermals/noise. The higher end 9X00 and 10X00 series feel like they have been squeezed very tightly into their thermal envelopes.

A CPU should come with a cooler and with that cooler the CPU should be quiet with some headroom. Reviews of 10900 seem to indicate you should opt for one of the most expensive air coolers or even water cooling, which of course throws the price comparison off completely.
Interesting. Just as a test I decided to see it it included concepts as well as SF devices, and it did indeed include 'flashcrowd' (Larry Niven in 1972) and 'worm' (John Brunner, 1975).
Ransomware deploys virtual machine to dodge security
Sure, let's pretend images in email are a new development and should be stopped.

Meanwhile in the real world some of us have actual users. Pretending we should stop using widely used and useful technology while flailing your arms and shooting "but security!" is not going to help anyone.
I also have a "thing" about putting things on my face, I don't even like touching it. I absolutely hate the idea of having to wear a mask, and having hot breath steaming up my face... makes me cringe just thinking about it.

Thankfully I'm one of the lucky ones that was working from home even before COVID.
> Problem solved.

Not even close.

There is no requirement for the company doing the dirty work to be a subsidiary. It can be "owned" by any random person drawing a lower middle class salary, because the entire premise is that that entity doesn't actually make any money. It does what you want because otherwise you don't do business with it, not because it's a subsidiary.
You're describing something called direct debit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_debit). In the US, you may know it as ACH, but the american version of direct debit is a far cry from EU direct debits.

When setting up a DD, you can give a european company your IBAN. They will be able to make withdrawal requests, directly to your bank account. Your bank will usually give you full control on what you can do with those. For example, my bank Bunq (https://bunq.me/) allows me to accept once, or automatically accept any debit request up to whatever amount I choose per period from that same merchant.

Direct Debits are free. You bypass credit card fees (which in Europe are much lower than in the US in the first place but still percentage-based). They are also usually real-time (though slower than the credit card network, and depending on banks and fraud checks there can be latency of up to a couple of days).
I also came to Rust from JS! I plan to write an article in the future comparing Rust to Typescript.
This discussion focuses on the least relevant aspects. There are a range of options for mitigating the pandemic. These include distancing, washing of hands and surfaces, masks, antiviral drugs, and vaccines. All of these have some costs and risks associated as well as varying levels of effectiveness.

Lockdowns, quarantines, and shelter in place orders have been tried at various levels of strictness at various time and places so we have a lot of data about their impact on the progress of the pandemic. It is clear that lockdowns are extremely expensive, but also shift risk around. Traffic is greatly reduced, but increased speeding balances out the risks. Avoiding prompt treatment for minor medical problems has as yet unknown risks. Domestic abuse is way up. Where I live shootings and murders are way up. Viewing murder as primarily an economic issue seems a strange way of skewing things.

In any case, while there are a range of beliefs and political relationships these are less relevant and interesting than the actual costs and risks of different forms of mitigation. Early on we feared exponential spreading but at this point we have verified that the pattern of spread was the same everywhere regardless of lockdown or not, and the rate of spread was not only never exponential but in fact fell everywhere it has been measured. This is well established epidemiology: lockdowns are only useful if they can contain the spread of a pathogen. This virus was spread widely by asymptomatic infected people before the first cases were recognized and diagnosed.

What so it just styles your site to look like a dry academic paper? What use case does this have? I imagine someone out there really needs this and the target audience is small.

Seems pretty typical for results of phishing campaigns - although they targeted 50 people, which is not very representative to get overall numbers and stats on different disciplines in a larger organization.

Results are largely driven by the kind of phish that is sent and if its click-worthy.

Some companies do these exercises every month.
My friends in photography seem to consider this a solved problem. Granted I have no idea what the details are, but you may be able to find suitable answers by searching for what is considered a good portfolio as a photographer.
Seems doubtful. Unless the drone is stationary, it would fly right out of it's own smoke cloud.

Even with smoke, it's a pretty good bet that the total thickness of smoke particles in the path of the beam is less than that of a coat of paint. No problem for a 150 kW laser to cut through.
I wonder if this is natures way of culling the heard of the less intelligent? Pretty horrific if true. Nature is cruel.

To what extent they "have it made" is an open question, but I am curious what you have to say about their signup process.
Studying Programming in the Neuroage
Not a lawyer, not legal advice either, but the GDPR approach to extraterritoriality is somewhat interesting. The presence of offices or employees isn't a strict requirement by law. The law, as written, would seem to apply to a US entity serving EU customers. But international law probably wouldn't facilitate doing anything about that.

Of course there is a question about how you could enforce such a ruling. And if it can't be enforced, is it really a sanction? I guess if countries wanted to take this really seriously, they could get a list of company officers and put immigration flags on those individuals, and hold them temporarily upon trying to enter that country, until the matter was resolved. But that would be rather extreme, and you do raise some good points around which countries can fine the companies of other countries.

CCPA from California seems to have some cross-border implications as well - perhaps we will finally see a framework for privacy laws that works better than today's hotch-potch?

No, that's not what he's telling you. You're getting ahead of yourself with your question. He's telling us that macOS will consult with Apple regarding the "fingerprint" of an executable when you run it.
The cost become a politically sensitive, and ultimately secretive, topic after it became clear that the costs were growing.

I was less involved with that team over time. I got the impression that serverless was quick and easy for the simple server-side operations that could be mapped easily to AWS' serverless building blocks. Of course, this is where they started and showed initial promise.

It broke down as they started taking more complicated server-side functions and forcing them into serverless style. It felt like a square peg / round hole situation that ballooned in complexity just to make it serverless.

If I did it again, I'd have the teams start with the most complicated server-side functions instead of picking the low hanging fruit first.

And, of course, be open to using regular old servers where it made sense to do so. AWS Serverless provided a lot of internal political ammunition because the cloud team could show up in a meeting with complicated diagrams exactly like what you see in this article, whereas previously we just showed single blocks for servers and another block for databases. The complexity did a great job of convincing execs that the AWS experts knew what they were doing, but then of course they were committed to going with the serverless options.
hmm i wish i weren't so shit at webdev or i would take this and turn plug it into jekyll's markdown compiler. i guess it shouldn't be that hard.
The author states:

Could someone say what is meant by constant-folding here?
`dtask`-related `dtime` (timewarrior) may be a good idea to bind tasks with time-tracking; perfect for project-tracking. Another huge plus would be its extensibility. Taskwarrior has tons of tools used to integrate/extend beyond its core functionality. Great job. I'll start using it right away.
That book lost me when he started in on the "acid diet". (Not that I don't understand it, but rather I believe it's been soundly refuted.)
What pains me about programming books is that due to the market pressure the balance is skewed extremely in the direction of beginner material and there is precious little material for advanced users.

If you look at other branches of knowledge, say electronics, there is couple of books for beginners and then massive selection of highly specialized books for experts.

I get that part of this is due to multitude of languages, paradigms, frameworks, etc. but I suspect that a huge part is due to the fact that programming book writers have huge incentive to make the book palatable to absolute beginners and anything else seems to be a sure way for the project to tank.

there are plenty of people that appreciate "dry academic papers" - they're called academics.
there are also plenty of blogs written by academic types that aim for minimalism.
I can corroborate this. A full size tablet is not always ideal. Display tablets like Cintiqs benefit from larger size because you are drawing 1:1 on a screen. The size allows for comfortable viewing as well as full arm movements on a surface that resembles a drafting table. However, traditional graphics tablets require you to draw on a separate surface while looking up at a monitor. The screen is mapped to the tablet surface, so to move the 10 inches on a 27" monitor to reach a button, you might instead only move your pen tip 1 or 2 inches. In this case, it's often easier to draw using small movements, and zoom in and out as required to work on structure or detail.

Using a large tablet is like using a mouse with the sensitivity turned down. It quickly becomes frustrating having to move your arm around so much to manage the interface, especially when you don't have a direct connection between what you're looking at and touching.

The difference is why someone might use a steno pad or moleskin journal rather than a full-size legal pad.
Yep, Bank of America and Citi offer the same service. Not sure about others.
I mean you can just get employees from LinkedIn and already know their e-mail addresses with high certainty and know when they work by the timezones. If this information was abusable, why is it so easy to guess in the first place and why is it not actionable then?

It would be arbitrary to have the image links switched out by the server so they always go through a proxy/urldefense and it would never be the user ip address or user agent the attacker sees.

I would assume a company like Gitlab would have such measures if this info was indeed abusable.
Man, that's a bummer! I loved scratchpad.io... I tried to access it today to find this message (minus the .io) and the link to the announcement on Twitter. Does anybody know about similar sites? Who is General Assembly? Why are they claiming to make this decision "to protect our community from security risks"? Given that it is a publicly accessible website, you wouldn't put top secret code there anyway, right? Sigh.
Reading habits that changed my life
When needing to do something similar (with our pseudo-microservice project's increasingly incomprehensible JSON logs) I also wanted the diagram to be interactive so it's possible to "dig" when showing larger amounts of data, so I learned d3.js and was very pleasantly surprised by the power of the abstraction it introduces, despite the unavoidable javascript.

Seriously they don't even have a WYSIWYG, I've build a WYSIWYG, and it was fun and profitable. This is what u don't get, OpenOffice did not beat MsOffice, no close sourced google cloud did, in the mean time they changed their name to LibreOffice because of some tiresome disagreement.
