Good for you! At 14 I was hooked, and knew that this - programming, IT, technology - was for me. I can see myself in your shoes some day. The "outside world" just doesn't get the allure sometimes ;).

As a twenty-something, I'd love to work along side an "old timer". Many of the abstractions and technologies change in our field, but just as many foundational concepts stay constant. I'm sure I would learn so much.

Best of luck to you.
It was done near a scandal, but not necessarily in reaction to one. Correlation is not causation.
I admire the confidence and romance, I don’t know how you do it.
In a large scale protest, surveillance and military drones are the end game IMO.
The boilerplate uses ENet for the game server, I tried using Unity's networking solutions earlier but found out the hard way that those were really only mean't for P2P and LAN (imo).

ENet provides a middle line between reliable and unreliable packets making it perfect for MMORPGs. You want to send a packet that a player shot a bullet? Use reliable. You want to send position updates? Use unreliable.
Side note, I'm reading through your salary negotiation post again and I'm going to reach back to you with the results in a couple of weeks hopefully.
> We now have the capability to put up another ISS today, resupply it, and staff it, at a fraction of the cost, all with launch equipment made by a single company that started a decade ago.

This is the part that's exciting for me. Whether it comes in the form of more space stations like the ISS or a much bigger and reinvigorated ISS, either way is a vital step in the right direction toward making humanity less beholden to a single planet.

Lots of challenges still to come, but this is a reminder that those challenges can someday be overcome.
SLiRP was written by Danny Gasparovski from Canberra.

Actual SLIP needed privs on the host to configure everything. slirp did it in usermode, allowing lowly undergrads to get real IP connections at home from the terminal services universities provided. Then you could run NSCA Mosaic at home :-) And ftp things directly, instead of downloading to your shell account tmp dir and using zmodem to transfer it the last hop.

It went away as real ISPs began to appear, offering PPP connections, and universities dropped their dial-in services. Strange and glorious to see it back again.
I’d love to see a citation for one of those papers.
Mars is key ! We must get to Mars!!!
Seems like that’s exactly the attitude you need.
This is such an important feature that has a direct impact on code quality and time savings that I'm not sure why it isn't a priority feature. As a reviewer, having to choose between "review everything again" or "trust the submitter didn't introduce extra changes in the revised pr" is such a terrible choice to have to make.
What's with the gradient shadow? The space station shadow crossed the module, and it was blurry. I thought shadows in space were knife-sharp. The nose-cone shadow was.

Its not the stream resolution, is it? Other knife-sharp features were visible.

Maybe the space station is fuzzy? Maybe the module material blurs shadows? What am I missing?
Ah, this brings back memories. Beige PC clones. The POST beep. The TURBO button. The hard drive head seek. Machinery-sounding fans. Cheap-ass 'voice' modems that used the CPU instead of giving you an entire modem in hard/firm-ware. The loooong boot times. Modem connect negotiation sounds.

What's that font on the pr.oxy/fileserver listing?
Also in two minds, having worked in the civil service before. There was a slight panic when it became understood that unpaid Slack didn’t actually delete messages beyond the latest 10k; as soon as you started paying they’d all be available. Not that there was anything definitively problematic, but it just would take one newspaper to request “all Slack messages from the day before the brexit vote” and suddenly there’d be problems with the public’s perception of civil service political neutrality.

Because to be honest, everyone is political in some form or another, especially the people that effectively take a pay cut to work in the civil service because they want to help citizens, and it’s a daily challenge to keep that political nature from spilling out into your work.

Everyone needs a place to unburden, and if you’re legally forbidden from doing that with friends and family you rely on the workplace. In the end the best I could do was make a FOIA reaction emoji to remind people to tone it down if something could be perceived in the wrong way by the press.

>In the US we moved to the current system where many of the police may not even live in the communities they serve. Heck, they may not even live in the municipality at all.

Some will take out-of-state applicants as well. This is when they need bodies over liasons. And the hiring standards adjust accordingly, too.
It's the fact that racism is ultimately stereotyping, which you could think of as rapidly gathering information under uncertainty. It's not very different than training an ML model. There's no way to capture all of the complexity of the world, but capturing some of it has immense survival value, and would have been the norm throughout the evolutionary history of animals (at least).

We can be sad about the necessity of this, just as we are sad that most animals (and most of us) will die horribly. But it's an immutable fact of reality.

If it were somehow possible to raise or breed a person that lacked any capability for racism or other forms of bigotry, they would go into the world like a sheep among a society of wolves. They'd die quite quickly.

Better for us to simply acknowledge the truth, and try to rationally limit the fallout. Pretending it's not so simply makes things worse.
I’ve heard another definition of strong, which is that the compiler will make more guarantees, and in those cases the terminology was:

* safe/unsafe
* strong/weak
* static/dynamic

Note that while safe/unsafe is basically all-or-nothing, strong/weak and static/dynamic are more of a spectrum, so JavaScript would be safe, weaker, and more dynamic than other languages. Typescript makes JS stronger when authoring code.
>Why not 4 astronauts?

You've been in the teamwork game a long time, right? You know that each new team member added to a team does something like double or quadruple communication overhead. They're trying to work out the kinks - they're going to with a small team of experienced people to stay focused.

There's probably also a limit to how many people they want to keep track of on ISS, like you said. It's also less risky like you said - you need two people in case one gets incapacitated, and also for psychological support, but you don't want to risk any more people on the maiden voyage than you have to.

>Compared to Soyuz [4], which cost NASA $80m/astronaut, that's a saving but not as much as I would've thought.

There's more to it than costs. We now have the agency to launch as many astronauts as we want, when we want, rather than filling in a vacant seat the Russians have. Something not considered in just costs is we can also charge other nations for rides on our rockets, and as long as it's less than $80m, we'll make profits and it'll be a win for those nations who'd normally ride on Soyuz.

We once rented a flat, in a nice building housing mainly retired people. One day we gave the place a good cleaning and hung out a mat to dry on the balcony. Within half an hour the residents association which we didn't know existed were knocking on our door and demanding we take in the offending item.
My biggest problem with gitlab is that the review system is pretty terrible.

> How resilient is blurring against deconvolution?

This depends a lot on the implementation details. If you blur an image using arbitrary-precision real numbers, then blurring is invertible. If you add a bit of random noise, or quantize your pixels into a finite-precision data type, then it becomes essentially one-way, and you cannot recover the original image.
Does anything, anything happen in politics that isn't in reaction to a causation?
Given that this is a protest about cops getting away with brutality even when there's clear evidence I think "gather evidence against both sides equally" is unlikely to be convincing argument to protesters.
From what I've seen Unity (the client) can be ported to any device.

The launcher uses (Avalonia) which is cross-platform (Windows-Linux-MacOS), not sure about mobile though. Now that I think about it, I suppose there could be different ways to go about mobile and just avoid the launcher entirely.
Was the full crew necessarily just to put things in orbit? My impression was that most of the crew was doing other sorts of science and such because they might as well do so while the Shuttle's out in space (and later to get as many people into the ISS as possible per trip, which the Crew Falcon should now be able to do - maybe not to the same degree as the Shuttle, but certainly to a better degree than Soyuz).
VRL-Studio IDE - Combine visual and text-based programming
When I was looking into it back in the day the salary spreads for programmers and lawyers didn't overlap very much. A good programmer could get ~$250k max while a good lawyer starts at around ~$300k. This was also before remote work was so much a thing, eh?

> I mean, programmers can live and work anywhere.

Yes and no. YMMV
Lamy 2000 is so amazingly smooth. I really like having the piston fill, instead of cartridges and adapters. There's more ink, and it's more reliable with less fuss and mess.
Very little in terms of what you would consider AI or ML. It's a lot of trig and control theory. You do a lot of the math beforehand to figure out the script the craft will follow to reach the ISS. Once it gets close, you either use manual controls or let autopilot do the docking. The autopilot is basically looking some dots on a camera and firing the thrusters to make the dots line up right. It's more like a dumb PID controller than an AI. The autopilot isn't learning anything or somehow making connections that weren't already programmed. This is all stuff NASA figured out how to do in the 60s so it's nothing novel except for the mission and the hardware the math is done on.
Cause or effect? I would argue that the warrior cop mentality escalates violence. That style of police training was banned by the mayor in Minneapolis, yet it continues to be taught and implemented.

You have a very sick society and until you realize it is not all the fault of one group it will persist.
I disagree with the parent poster, but a Federal Protective Service member was killed last night in Oakland: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/federal-officer-killed-in-shoot...

I did read that they're unsure whether it was related to the protests though.

The other thing to think about is, if they activated the entire MN guard, many of these folks are not military police or have received any kind of light MP training. Typically the guard is there to just provide assistance. If they end up doing heavy-duty police work or real riot control, this is how we end up with a kent state type situation--most guardsmen have civilian jobs, so imagine one day your working your IT job, the next day your expected to be a police officer.

I have had the privilege of working with a lot of great people over the years. Starting my career at Idealab was like drinking from a fire hose. One of my favorite business comments from an early CEO of mine:

I like GitLab and GitHub quite a bit, but I lean toward GitLab for the simplicity of a unified tool chain.

However, I think GitLab can only really shine when you host it yourself. In 2020, on-premise/self-managed anything is kind of a hard sell, but the reliability and performance of gitlab.com leaves a lot to be desired. (So much so, I often think about trying to work for GitLab so I could help from a reliability perspective.) I stuck my neck out for GitLab in a previous organization and we ended up migrating from github.com to gitlab.com. This set me up for some embarrassment for every outage they experienced last year which felt surprisingly frequent. But if you have the resources, self-managed GitLab is great!

tl;dr: gitlab.your.org > github.com > gitlab.com

You're at least old enough to have made the computer that I'm using to do my codding stuff.
I think their biggest oversight was not having all of the core programming functions that we take for granted (loops in particular). They have core nodes for if/else and breaks, but you have to go find a third party implementation for while/for loops.

There's a third party set of nodes called "action flows" that does a pretty good job of implementing for/while loops, but it's not trivial to just install and use, you have to learn its conventions to use it properly.

I gotta think most developers would install it, poke around for awhile, see that there's no obvious way to implement a loop, and throw it away when they don't find one.
Wikipedia is either wrong or out of date but the ratios are slightly worse at 40% cheaper than Soyuz:

> NASA will likely pay about $90 million for each astronaut who flies aboard Boeing's CST-100 Starliner capsule on International Space Station (ISS) missions, the report estimated. The per-seat cost for SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, meanwhile, will be around $55 million, according to the OIG's calculations.

> To put those costs into perspective: NASA currently pays about $86 million for each seat aboard Russia's three-person Soyuz spacecraft, which has been astronauts' only ride to and from the ISS since NASA's space shuttle fleet was grounded in July 2011.
> Of course, AFAIK these people aren't paying Google, so to Google they're not customers

We’ve been told over and over and over and over again we are somehow paying with our data even after they refuse any other form of payment, so this seems like a meaningless distinction.
They're trivial to deploy - a child could do it if you showed them once. If you can afford to lose one being knocked out of the sky, you still draw attention by returning to ground every 20-30 minutes to swap batteries. Batteries are $100-200 each, at least for the drones I have, so not really something that a casual protester would be carrying around. Battery packs that can recharge drone batteries are heavy, expensive and uncommon. If police/NG are firing projectiles at journalists, grocery shoppers and people in their front yard, I can imagine they'd be delighted to play target practice with a drone.

You could be high enough that no one would notice, but then you're not going to get especially useful video. Low light situations wouldn't help.

A racing drone would be more difficult to control (AFAIK, no hover or GPS-based positioning) in trying to film specific things for 20 minutes at a time.

If you wanted to film with a touch of elevation over a crowd, you'd carry a GoPro on a stick. Cheaper, cheaper batteries, can charge via USB with any battery pack.
You can't buy company culture either, but that could have been built 40 years ago
Thanks for asking!

The nature of the illness varies somewhat over time. The panic attacks only seemed to happen when I was in a room with a large group of people. So quitting school largely removed me from those situations.

I was diagnosed as Bipolar 2 in 1997 by a psychiatrist in Manhattan, where I was living with my girlfriend. I started having true bipolar symptoms in USAF Basic Training but made it through (talk about rough), then years later working as a developer, I got to a point where I could just not deal with people. One of the signature characteristics of bipolar (and other similar disorders) is some form of paranoia. People at work would make some mild critical comment and my head would be spinning for days full of anger and fear and pondering what I should have said. The NY psychiatrist asked me just a few questions: 'When was your first clinical depressive episode' (19), and 'are you second-guessing yourself a lot' (Yes. A manifestation of paranoia as noted above).

How did I ultimately deal with the disorder? Wonder drugs! Zyprexa since 1997, Wellbutrin for many years, and lamotrigine, a mood stabilizer. Being bipolar is not something that I notice much anymore.

One thing I would mention for anyone who is listening and suspects they are bipolar: Bipolar people are vulnerable to trauma and PTSD. What helped me was another miracle (IMO), EMDR. A single one hour EMDR session with a trained therapist can rid you of trauma that would take a year or more of talk therapy to accomplish.

Hope that was not too long-winded.

A video filmed by a third party is not self-incrimination. It would be incrimination of the defendant by the third party's video evidence.

Trials are preceded by a long process of discovery and, in general both sides will have access to all evidence that is going to be used in the trial.

It depends on how the video is edited and presented. Certainly the initial video of the "Covington kids" scandal was highly unethical.

Wait, you really don't see the contradiction between your first and second sentences?

When I started out, business casual was the norm, just as it is today. A big difference was that many of us had "pocket protectors" where we carried our pens, pencils and slide rule. You may have seen those in some movies as a distinguishing feature for nerds.
I love space exploration like the next guy, but I have a massive fear that a proliferation of space-stations will lead to unpleasant situations. With all its tensions, the ISS has been an amazing tool for soft diplomacy; if we start having country-specific stations we’ll soon end up with nasty arguments. Already we have competing satellites rumoured to have classified capabilities, I hate to think what they could do with manned stations.

I guess it’s inevitable.
Newton's third law confirms that yes, everything in politics occurs in reaction to some other causation.

However correlating two items together based on timestamp alone is not enough to validate causation.
Yeah, the live stream mentioned the ability to switch between coarse and fine controls, and that ability would be invaluable for a speed run.
I don't know much about Cryptography but this article made me want to ask this:

In his example with facebook and trump, the original handshake to get facebook's public key isn't encrypted, isn't that a problem ?

I may be totally not understanding this at all, but lets say when somebody connect to Tor if the original connection isn't encrypted and everybody know that I just connected to Tor isn't that bad even though they can't tell what I'm doing afterward ?
All the points you mentioned in the articles really makes sense. Especially where you mentioned the blog part. I have gotten handful of replies from people after reading my blog but i never got a work opportunity or they wanted to work with me. Looks like i gotta change my strategy
These are just different extremes in the expression of racism, which is the unjust treatment of other human beings due to race.

Those who are vehemently racist are likely only a minority of the expressions of racial injustice which minorities face as a lifestyle in America. The answer to both should point to structural solutions rather than making this an individual moral matter, asking people to monitor whether they're consciously racist.

This is really interesting. I use vs code on Windows on a 144 hz gaming monitor with an nvidia gpu and gsync, and it “feels” like it has the lowest input latency of any editor I use (out of notepad, notepad++, and Visual Studio).

I’m curious what impact hardware acceleration and gsync would have on this. I would guess Electron is using a hardware accelerated surface in my scenario, but I don’t imagine gsync is doing much on the desktop since it is synchronized to the entire OS and not a specific application.
Thanks for the tip. It seems to have improved since I last tried it.

From NASA's Mission Updates:

It's hard for me to wrap my brain around this. They seem so far away but 262 miles above earth is about the distance from NYC to DC which doesn't seem far at all.
