The problem is we're not likely to stop stigmatising people with mental health any time soon. You can't make people believe something they desperately choose not to.

We think people are 100% responsible for their behavior, so if they do something wrong or inconvenience us, it's their fault, and they're bad people for it. They should just not complain or feel bad, because you're not entitled to sympathy for your mistakes or failings.

You have to have a convincing case for your misery, why you deserve sympathy, and how it's not your fault, and even then, don't you dare complain to much.

Obviously, I'm exaggerating a bit and don't feel that way myself. I really think most people believe some watered down version of this though.
Software is all about trade offs. I would actually recommend you the book Software Engineer at Google since you mentioned them so many times: https://www.amazon.ca/Software-Engineering-Google-Lessons-Pr...

The first chapter is all about that and how software engineer isn't programming. You seem to think as programming and I believe you're missing the bigger picture.

> the people who give up their individuality to pursue a career to buy things they might not need

Everyone I met who placed all their chips in pursuing a career were pretty much expressing their individuality. It just so happened that their individuality helped them thrive in a particular environment.

And you'd be surprised how material wealth, including as a status symbol, helps people express their individuality.
I've read it differently, the line below shows an example that begins with 'C:\msys64' prefix. So perhaps this was a way to say that the user doesn't have to install msys to that folder.
"Pre-Facebook" was also notably a time when internet penetration in the US was only 63% (15% globally) and smartphones were practically non existent.
If tigers were not somewhat dangerous it wouldn't be much harder than breeding housecats, except they are larger and eat more. Every so often they catch somebody breeding tigers in shockingly small cages.

Why would job interviews be “impossible” when employment is not easily terminated?
Yes, but there's a lot of room between ~$150k (that the defrauded bitcoins are worth) and what counts as "serious money" that will get you caught -- contradicting the clickbait thesis of "you couldn't have made more money" than the hacker. This is especially true in an environment of a stock that's heavily shorted already.

And if you really want to be pedantic, the hacker has made $0 from it so far, since the Bitcoins haven't been transferred anywhere to cash out. Which is pretty easy to beat :-p
>Almost 40% of homes in America are owned free and clear (no mortgage).

looking merely at owned homes is ignoring everybody that rents. Renters falling behind on their rent are equally likely to be evicted as soon as the moratoriums are listed.

(and that in fact goes to my point about "your rent/mortgage is someone else's asset", a renter who's not making mortgage payments is probably still putting someone else's mortgage in the red and causing havoc in the rest of the financial system. I don't personally shed too much of a tier for the personal finances of highly overleveraged landlords doing the BRRRR type bullshit, it's been screwing up pricing for renters for a decade now, but it's a problem for the rest of the financial system too.)

BRRRR: https://investfourmore.com/brrrr-method/

Also, as another poster mentioned, the demographics of home ownership tilt very differently. Lots of boomers own their homes, in many cases free and clear. The numbers for people in their 30s (let alone 20s) are pretty low these days, so your statistic basically ignores everyone under 50.

(And in fact even if we got younger people into homes, the same wealth transfer that boomers enjoyed probably cannot be replicated - it was artificially created by lowering interest rates from the highs of 19% in the 70s/80s down to basically 0% now, allowing people to finance much larger amounts of money and causing the underlying asset values to soar. Nor would it be desirable to do so.)

And in general I disagree with your comment further down in the thread about "you can say anything with statistics". The obvious thrust of that argument is: gee, I guess we better just not use statistics and argue about feelings instead. That's so much better.

It's pretty much an argument made by people whose positions can't be justified by actual data - they don't reconsider their positions, they just want to stop looking at the data.
Tesla is one of the most heavily shorted stocks, and earning 1 million honestly wouldn't even be such a big deal considering how many instititutional and retail investors are swing trading it. Unless you bought some ridiculously short dated options, in huge amounts and then immediately faked Elon's tweets and cashed out, you could've made 500k easily no one would even think twice about it.

1. Panicing is not in line with how `as` casts are supposed to act. (e.g. `u32value as u8` does not panic but just takes the "lower" one byte.)

2. This might (I haven't profiled it) introduce performance regressions in ways which should not happen.

3. Besides in some usages around `dyn` other usages of `as` get increasingly more alternatives. It's just a question of time until `as` (for int/float casts) is recommended to not be used at all, maybe even linted against.

4. Given precedence of many other programming languages people don't expect a "simple" float to int cast to be failable. (The new methods replacing `as` make the fallibility clear, as it's e.g. `u64::try_from(bigf64)`).

5. It's udef-ness is only detected/handled in llvm, _I don't know_ if llvm provides similar well integrated mechanisms for this as it does for integer overflows. If not that would be another problem.

My personal career epiphany was moving from a tech giant to a late-stage, pre-IPO startup. The amount of freedom and range of challenges I dealt with were exhilarating. Did it pay as much? Not in the beginning, but I was given the room to grow.
I agree. My point is that in general that when there is a high demand for very scarce resources, it is usually the rich or powerful who gets it. All I am saying is that don't forget about the poor people.
I think the Souther Europe part covers it. That's my experience as well.
Their whole point on the stock market is this:

> The big issue with all of these is that it’s very difficult to participate in the stock market anonymously. The SEC has all sorts of monitoring in place to catch more common forms of insider trading and fraud and you can guarantee that they would conduct a long, thorough investigation into a hypothetical hack-based market fraud. Unlike Bitcoin transactions, wire transfers and stock purchases can be reversed after the fact, and the exposure and risk go way up when you’re actually working with US dollars.

But this is divorced from reality. In reality you'd be one of thousands of people holding HTZ calls or TSLA puts in your Robinhood account. You could make a huge payday and be indistinguishable from the crowd. With the crypto scam, one person will eventually have to turn this BTC into fiat. With market manipulation, you've made thousands of retail investors indistinguishable from yourself rich. Which one sounds like a better idea?

this is why i think visible voting (likes, hearts, etc) ruined the internet. It creates teams, draws lines in the sand. Then teams with the most votes thinks that means it's in the right.

Otherwise, you have to actually read each comment and think about whether you agree with it instead of lazily appealing to votes.
The problem about assumptions is that we can't live with them, but we can't also live without them.

Many so-called "cross platform" projects have had big surprises when it actually came time them to be ported to other platforms.

It's extremely rare for a project which has never been compiled and launched on another platform to actually require 0 porting effort for that platform once actually required to run there.

Interesting paper in that it claims to have found a common theme of the "Smith and the Devil" story using statistical techniques keyed on particular features of folk tales.

It should also be pointed out that there are many transparently shared story-lines among the IE languages that have previously been discovered just by traditional comparative literature methods.

The most well known of these is the "hero vs the dragon/serpent", which is observed in works as geographically and time separated from each other as Beowulf vs Wyrm in Anglo Saxon legends and Indra vs Vrtra in the Vedas.

Finding vertically transmitted ancient storylines is interesting and even more compelling than the long known vertically transmitted language components like grammar and lexicon.

A buddy of mine got his too within days, I wait since early May.

The EDD (California) did process millions of applications (or so they claim), but more than a million are still outstanding.

The problem seems to me to be in their mission objective: they view every applicant first and foremost as a potential "wellfare queen" and attempt to prove that as a fact (17 years ago, in the aftermath of the Internet bubble burst, I lost my job as well, applied for unemployment insurance benefit and the phone interview I went though was as bizarre as unpleasant -- I didn't get to the phone interview this time 'round).

I wished they would rather operate like the IRS: after preliminary, automated checks using tax records (was the person employed by employer as claimed, is that person now employed?) hand out the money and perform selective, random in-depth audits asynchronously.
The blackmail option isn't mutually exclusive with the BTC scam. Maybe the attackers slurped up all the DMs and will use or sell them later.
> They managed to run off with a little over $100,000 before Twitter got the situation under control.

Not quite, I believe most major exchanges banning the address probably did a lot more to control the situation. Twitter took way way too long to react and their best course of action was just blocking all tweets from verified users...
That could literally produce no output program?
I'm fairly new to Vapor, and not sure what the ecosystem was like 3-4 years ago, but it's possible it has matured a lot if the last time you checked it out was that long ago. I know Vapor's Fluent ORM has improved quite a bit recently, especially as it can take advantage of property wrappers introduced in Swift 5.1. It's not hard to imagine Fluent approaching feature parity with Rails' ActiveRecord and Django's ORM, but with much better performance and type-safety.

It's impossible for everything to be perfectly objective - having more credible sources with different points of view allows for more objectivity.

Centralized news is too easy to manipulate.
Yes, but for that you first need a lot of money (especially if you're buying other positions as 'cover') and a lot of preparation time (as going deep into puts just before the hack is extremely suspicious).

And then you're still in hell, because instead of having a total damage amount of 120k$ plus some vague twitter downtime you now have cost investors millions of dollars and are in the highly illegal territory of stock market manipulation, instead of a rather simple scam with modest damage.

Also, saying "I've read that on WSB" is nice, but the FBI is still going to take your equipment for a nice inspection. No fun, I can tell you that.
Yeah the only way I can imagine that you might have been able to get profits out of the regulated markets without getting caught would be to put on a short position a few weeks in advance and then send out a bunch of fake scary geopolitical items from the verified news accounts like Bloomberg's. And even doing it this way, if that's the only activity in your account the SEC still might find you.
One point I don't see made often: in order to short or long any market, you need _initial_ capital too. This whole "ask 1 BTC to get 2 BTC" requires 0 initial upfront costs from the attacker.

It's a win/win situation, they can't lose. They've invested nothing in their scam to begin with.

> Swift is superior to Objective-C in just about every way a modern programmer could want.

Reflection and dynamism are fairly big areas where Swift falls short. A couple more: interoperatibility with C++, any form of macro support, ability to shed the runtime where convenient…
Except they we wasting development cycles prioritizing platforms that are generally built on proprietary platforms. When you've got a bunch of telemetry and other services recording your VPN address after you've logged in using personally identifiable information, or they have fingerprinted you, then you are no longer anonymous.
1) Market share for Mac is probably on a similar scale to that on Linux. In this case being low single digits. Of those users, a significant market share are likely not to be using Mozilla's products over Safari. Unlike Linux platforms where Mozilla products are the typical default.

2) Anyone on any of these platforms can likely afford 5 dollars a month. I don't even think platform plays a variable in this at all. It isn't like the unique iOS apps which bring value/features and are the only mechanism for attaining those given features.

In this case, there is plenty of competition already in play, and users can already pick a VPN provider if they want. Same can't be said for say a video editing app that is the only thing available on the iOS store.

3) Mac users care about privacy less than Linux users. A few weeks ago it was found that Catalina was sending a hash of every single program you run to Apple.

Yep, Apple likely knows everything you could potentially be doing on your Mac. Not very private I would say.

I don't really agree with any of your assumptions in this case.

Actually, earning money by cheating is bad.

Unfortunately I think intentionally or not the mental stimulus of "winning" - getting lots of likes and retweets, is baked into how these companies have very profitable business models. People feel like they are playing a game for social status, maybe one of the most primal human instincts and they tap into that to drive profit.
yes but you can survive without watching shows, which is my point
This is just rebranded consumer VPN service? So Mozilla is outsourcing their brand. Seems very risky for them. I don’t know why anyone would trust a consumer VPN service. CIA or another country’s spy agency could easily be behind any of them. Just like Crypto AG. Being based in Sweden is no guarantee at all. Encrypted email services are another obvious thing for spy agencies to run.

The only useful purpose of a consumer VPN is torrenting and bypass geographic blocking. Privacy can be either increased or decreased with a consumer VPN service.
Yup- an 8" gun uses ~90 lbs of powder. That is a big blast and not all of it goes forward.
The SEC frequently goes after proverbial insider trading dentists who make ill gotten gains in the $100K range. Given the intense focus there would be to catch the market manipulators, a sub-$1 million haul wouldn't be much protection.

Because I can at least understand an argument like "all taxation is theft".

When it's "sales tax is okay, but income tax violates innate rights", that's a pretty finicky argument. The difference barely matters.

Basically, the chaff transactions go to/from wallets actually owned by people. If you analyze enough of the chaff transactions, especially when the XMR that made them up is respent, you can deanonmyize users.

This is why people recommend you do not reuse wallets often but that still does not solve the problem.

They're going to heavily investigate everyone that made a half million on a super high volume, widely shorted stock in a time of extreme volatility?

How is obsessive focus on metrics making anything more fair? Even if you have metrics, choosing which ones are important still ends up being subjective, and the metrics are usually incomparable between projects. So the metrics alone don't tell anything useful and can still be easily gamed to make the manager's preferred employees look good and disliked employees look bad.
