I think the critique is simply the homogeneity of the people; mostly in terms of temperament. People with stable jobs, working hard, doing white collar things. Having white collar interests. 401Ks, keeping up with the Joneses, what rate did you get for your mortgage as dinner conversation and all that.

It's really not as colourful as the melange of labourers and aspiring artists in multi-ethnic neighbourhoods with historical communities.

These are gross caricatures, but my impression is that's why people don't like gentrification.
Those problems you describe are about implementing business rules - that’s not particularly interesting work provided the system has been well-designed. I imagine the glamorous work at Netflix for building out their scalable infrastructure for delivering terabytes of content every second largely ended years ago - of course that work is ongoing as new delivery systems and transports emerge and content consumption habits evolve (remember when people used to think you could only watch Netflix Streaming on a computer?) - but that needs far fewer people to accomplish, and it would be evolutionary work, not revolutionary.

> I think perhaps it's just human nature to downplay the work or job of others.

Of course it is! But as far as Netflix, and all other employers are concerned, they need to offer jobs that are either “interesting” or glamarous - otherwise there’s nothing to attract the best talent when they’re already paying top-tier Bay Area comps just to compete with Google and Facebook. (Why they don’t try to compete with PTO is beyond me - I told one recruiter I’d work for 20% less comp if they doubled their miserly 15 days PTO and they never got back to me - but that’s another story).

Now in my case, the work I do for my day-job isn’t glamorous at all: it’s just a straightforward line-of-business SaaS application. I’m not looking to change my employer at all (for reasons I won’t go into - but I do get 45 days PTO), but if I was looking I wouldn’t accept a job at a big name if it’s just to do /routine/ work. I want to be able to blog about my work and have people at least say “oh hey, that’s cool”.

I'm curious, can anyone recommend any techniques (or companies providing solutions) for attempting something similar with javascript in a browser calling an API? Obviously it's much more difficult to obfuscate an algorithm for generating a client token in JS than it would be in assembly, but I'm just curious if anyone has tried any form of "lock down my API so it's only callable from the web front end I provide" obfuscation.

> Windows and MacOS enforce signature checking on all binaries.

This is not a meaningful security feature. If the signature has to be from the manufacturer then you can't so much as write your own shell script, which is useless. That is a cage, not a security measure. But if the user can sign their own binaries then the signature is the equivalent of the execute bit -- you have to tell the system something is executable before it will execute it. Linux has had that forever.

I pay $2,000 less per month for a two bedroom and a parking spot, in Manhattan. So I would say that $4,995 example is on the extreme end of expensive. Not rent controlled, not rent stabilized. Upper west side.
We've seen quite a few police shot, some of them killed, in just the last couple weeks. Mostly premeditated murder and attempted premeditated murder.
Nope. You need to have it open in a browser tab and to keep it from disconnecting you run this script:

function ConnectButton(){document.querySelector("#top-toolbar > colab-connect-button").shadowRoot.querySelector("#connect").click(); console.log("Connect pushed"); } setInterval(ConnectButton,60000);

:) You still get booted every 6 hour or so.
Specious comment because if SpaceX funds itself from HFT their goal is to make life interplanetary which is arguably the best thing to do for society.
Ah ha, thanks for explaining CR INC, that makes sense now. I have only been looking at the diagrams in the patent.

The patent does enumerate (col 25 line 15) the TYP values: 0, 1, 4, 5, and 6. (The microcode listings also sometimes use a value of 7 for TYP.) So this would suggest that types 0 [conditional jump] and 1 [ALU operation] use a full 5-bit A field (to set the ALU opcode) while types 4-7 use a different format for the A and B fields. The MSB of TYP would select between the two formats, and this would explain the absence of a type 2 or type 3 instruction.
I suppose the Dewey Decimal System is a suitable reason to classify it as "non-fiction", but then presumably the Dewey Decimal numbers should be present (even if that is not the classification scheme of LibriVox, which is OK, I suppose).

(Anyways, the Bible is a collection of texts of various kinds. It isn't really a work of fiction in the way that most stories are, and even the texts they have are not entirely fictitious anyways; some parts might be historically accurate, some parts might be exaggerated, some parts might be lost, and some parts might be works of fiction, for example.)
As with most things Apple, it is a joy as long as you restrict yourself to only plugging the device into official Apple peripherals, preferably ones that are available to buy right now. It’s when you start hooking your Mac up to old hardware or random commodity hardware that the problems surface.

Is there a readability metric for source code?
I’m imagining something like the Flesch-Kincaid test for source code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flesch%E2%80%93Kincaid_readability_tests

I’m assuming it would have to be language-specific.

This is particularly interesting for contextualizing terse code, like Gocker shared here recently, which may have readability benefits in its brevity that is undone by use of obscure features and structure (like code golf).

Can anyone share existing discussion of this idea?

I agree to put anything I write myself as public domain, so if it isn't a secret, then you can copy it if you want to. I don't like copyright. I don't know if you want to make audio recordings of the stuff I have written, but at least now you know, you are free to do so if you want to do.

(If so, I would request that you make the recordings public domain and Opus format, although this is not required.)
For sure, these were the old days before jQuery was even considered a standard library. It was still duking it out with YUI and Prototype.
That sounds sort of like the reverse-halo effect fallacy. Believe it or not terrible people don't necessarily do terrible things every time they do somethings. For example, Fidel Castro caused Cuba to have one of the highest literacy rates in the world. That is true no matter how many people he imprisoned, tortured or killed. Similarly people can peacefully protest even if they are white supremacy, fascism, or _neo_ nazis (pet peeve of mine, but I wouldn't call someone a literal nazi unless they were literally a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party between 1920 and 1945).

I think all of those folks know very well that the “antifa” they hear about on Fox News is nothing but a boogeyman. They’re not stupid, but they are a lynch mob in search of a victim. Lynch mobs have never been about fear, they’ve always been about asserting power through violence.
I'm really baffled by your comment. I never said that about scaling or my OS not supporting resolution independence. I think you're confusing me with someone else, which might explain the disconnect between your posts and mine. (It's understandable because my initial post seems to have gathered a ton of responses, so it's easy to get confused about who said what. Probably my most successful (?) comment in all my years here.)

> I’m not sure what you are arguing against

Indeed.
Ha no way, 10%? Ridic. How old is he?

I'm thinking about just living at home, or going to work remote somewhere like the canary islands.
Well. The principle of Linux was and still is to give tools and have users use them.
It gets out of the users way to use them.
One can always use firejail or other sandboxing solutions to do that.
Chrome itself is a security nightmare, always with the mic on and listening.
Microsoft and Apple also have CVEs unattended.
Binary checks before starting a program? Why I have a package-manager that does the checks.
Untrusted binaries are ususally installed with local user rights in a seperate path or best, not run at all(never needed to turn to some website offering tools since moving to linux aeons ago).
Not all distros use Flatpack or Snap, and I hope it remains that way regardless of how fiercely Canonical is pushing for it.
Granted, the out of the box security provided by Linux as a Desktop OS is behind the Windows/MacOS one;Only think of the non-existing firewall rules on a fresh Ubuntu installation.
But I think that is ok, because installing Linux is a conscious decision, unlike using a preinstalled Windows or MacOS.
So, if you do that move from one OS over to another, the user should read up and not expect the community to hold their hands without asking questions.

Not everything is perfect, yes moving the toolchain would be nice, but then again, most a community run projects, so the user needs to know about locking their basement as well. Hence the audience is/should be more technical minded anyways.

IMHO another post about comparing apples and oranges leaving out second-level effects.
Just an example:
Looking for CVE-entries https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=MacOS , https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=Linux , https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=Windows .
We see that MacOS has the fewest and Windows the most CVEs.
(So it doesn't matter that Microsoft closes the CVEs quickly and Debian might take some time (haven't really run metrics on that one), there is a huge attack-surface on Windows, compared to Linux and new once have to pop up all the time :D)
That isn't looking into severity, because a chaining of medium CVEs might also lead to a compromise as well ,and not everything requires system or root. User might be fine as well.
I see a reflection of favoured OS. Only few people use MacOS (some artists, companies streamlining their assets for maintenance and rent,etc.). Windows, on the other hand, was always the big dog on the desktop market. Naturally, maleware authors focus on the biggest market.

I agree that companies tend to over hire. My company certainly does, which leads to things taking much more time they would with less folks (and often more buggy). It's the age old problem of throwing engineers at things thinking it'll speed things up I guess.

I disagree that there isn't exciting work to be done at these places. I think you're just as likely to be bored at any other job, you just get paid boatloads more. Most end up running off to do their own thing since they have the financial freedom to do so after a few years.

For what it's worth, I think you'd be able to blog about your work at Netflix, Google, Facebook, etc. Plenty of their employees do so.

EDIT (you added in some PTO details): Heck I wouldn't leave if I got 45 days PTO either! Yeah, I hope companies start competing more on hrs of work. I'd gladly take a hefty pay cut to work 20 hrs a week.
How the Coronavirus Will Reshape Architecture
TouchID on macs are another reasonable option.

My employer uses Duo, which supports phone push, yubikeys, or webauthn/touchID in chrome.

I almost always use touch ID. I do have a yubikey and phone push as a backup, but I really want to minimize using my personal device for work (and don't want to carry two phones).

A yubikey is much less obnoxious to carry around than an extra phone.

You're mixing up section 230 with the situation prior to section 230. There were two important cases prior to its passage:

- Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co., in which Prodigy was found to be liable due to their content moderation, and

- Cubby, Inc. v. CompuServe Inc., in which CompuServe was held not liable for content, as they were unaware of it

Section 230 was in fact created to change this - to allow companies to moderate without making them liable for all of the actions of their users.

What type of non-profits would you advise? And at what stage?
That personally bothers me a lot, as does the lack of home and end keys. Yes I know there are key chords to accomplish the same function, but having a dedicated key as part of your workflow makes a big difference. Maybe if I worked on my Mac 100% of the time I wouldn’t mind, but I only use a Mac about 20% of the time and it is incredibly infuriating.

The value of commercial (ie 4 or more units) rental property is calculated directly from the rent it can command and you can find yourself upside down on a loan I’d your rent dips too far. This is also why you’ll find places would rather have vacant apartments than lower rent too far.
Nuclear energy is far safer than gas, and about the same as wind/solar:

https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy#modern-r...
> Yet you will see people straight-up praising Germany for its anti-nuclear stance.

I don't, and I wore the 'Atomkraft, nein danke' patch too while I lived there and installed solar on several sites for the Farm owners I worked for; the State may have subsidized solar a lot, but as you said they have gaps and they just import the energy from France's Nuclear behemoth despite this policy. I lived and worked in Southern Germany 30 Km away from the border of France near Alsace and this was common knowledge when I lived there. The mother of my friend who I worked for was a politician of the Green Party, and this was one of the point of contentions she and I would argue over; the facade of doing something while only externalizing the issue.

This was the same in my hometown with the nuclear plant in Orange County, we ended up paying Mitusbishi Heavy Industries for a f'd re-design, paid Edison more for electricity, and had our lives impacted with the radiation leak and our surf spots closed off so that we could subsidize and help offset the energy needs of the greater San Diego region; specifically Camp Pendelton Military base, which was/is the biggest domestic concentration of Marines on US soil for a mobilization point into the Pacific region where Obama had placed his military focus on early into this administration.

Turns out the grid could handle it without the need of SONGS as its been shutdown, and they restarted natural gas plants in OC as result.

> People who advocate against nuclear, yet stay silent on coal, are contributing to our coal-burning world, whether they realize it or not. Actions speak louder than words.

Agreed but this is portraying things in a false dichotomy, I'm for advocating the use of all renewable in conjunction of having fossil fuels be the (limited) back up for when its needed to fill the gaps. I really do not think we will 100% remove ourselves on fossil fuel, airplanes will likely never be EV, nor cargo crafts for Sea Freight, neither will propellants for rockets go away either. In fact I see it going up in fact as SpaceX makes progress with Starship and increases its manifest, and at the tail end of the consumer market motorsports people like myself will always have a need for it.

There are far too many variables to realistically think Fossil fuel will go away 100% in any of our Lifetimes, my friend is finishing his BSc in renewable energy/EE and just got accepted to a Masters program in Iceland focused on geothermal and even he says the same thing. Albeit incredibly reluctantly.
To all the voices in the thread who are commenting on how only $3m is no Apollo project: my fusion startup in the 1990s was financed with less than that (even including the inflation adjustment). Sure, we didn't make self-sustaining fusion, but it wasn't lack of money that stopped us. This level of funding may not give you an Apollo program, but it could easily give you a Robert Goddard.

The section on "Why don't more people start them" was interesting to me. One hugely important thing I don't see mentioned as a possible cause is the failure path (i.e. what happens when you fail, which is the most likely outcome). This is drastically different in 'moonshot' fields than in software startups. In many fields, a failed startup causes permanent career damage, so that's a big reason why people don't start them.

Because of this, I think the founder equity exchange program is a great idea. I would have happily diversified 10% of my stock with other founders, and it would not have de-incentivized us at all.
APIs Can Save AI Research Labs: Lessons from Openai
If your entire site's React/Vue implementation is solely serving up DOM elements to other libraries perhaps.

Frequently it's the case though where like 99.99%(hyperbole) of the site is handled by React/Vue and you just need a few specific components to be controlled by an external lib. Heck, anything wrapping a canvas based lib is pretty much doing this.. Tons of component libs do this. It's very "web component" like to let something control a slice of the DOM anyway.

Also some of the soviet bomb development efforts caused wide scale contamination, sometime even in inhabitted areas.

It's not just playing video. Actually playing the video is easy. Delivering it to the end user is enormously challenging.

Even with a top-shelf CDN, you will have a non-negligible amount of customers having playback issues because of routing issues, peering disputes, congestion etc.

As someone that used to travel the world and play chess competitively as a kid (fun fact: against Botez), it's been great to see chess embraced as an esport and the definition of a "sport" be rethought entirely.

I remember growing up in the chess community being asked whether chess was a "sport". Most people within the community would say yes, while most people outside the community would unequivocally say no, since it wasn't physical.
