There are some uses of Rust in some companies but nothing really significant or ground breaking yet, and not to an extent as important as golang and Swift. Rust can not compare with C/C++ as most of the important crates in Rust still depend on underlying C/C++ library and will continue in foreseeable future, meaning those libraries still needs to be maintained in C/C++.

I do not have access to open source code of fargate or AWS Lambda written in Rust to see the extent of it’s use.

Having seen kubernetes (k8s) in golang and many of the CNCF softwares using golang, Rust is still a fringe language and will need another 10-15 years to reach parity.

Rust has yet to prove anything critical for internet or general computing infrastructure. Still waiting when Mozilla browsers C++ code will be replaced by Rust, given it’s the reason it was created.

The cruel exception is in military museums where all the military funded museums are paid somewhat decent wages but of course these wages pale in comparison to the military intelligence trainers getting paid $650k+ / year mostly tax-free due to being overseas.

The NBLS statistics for museum workers is highly skewed for federally funded museums and those with long career tenures which makes it look like they're paid nearly as much as most other white collar workers but this doesn't mean there's actually jobs in the field. And this was all pre-COVID.

OPM has been desperately trying to get people to retire earlier by offering huge lump sums but with healthcare the way it is, people are not retiring which puts a drag on a strapped public sector in headcount and requisitions, but the implication to me is that when museum persons are retiring nowadays in public sector they're being replaced with cheaper contractors or simply not being filled in at all. I'm familiar with entire libraries being shut down after a single librarian retired.

Do a search, there was a thread on this yesterday and another a couple days before that. The summary is read a book or two but be ready to adapt to your babies individual needs. Prepare to lose any semblance of hobbies or personal time, and say goodbye to a good nights sleep. Oh also your significant other and yourself will almost definitely experience a significant mental health decline within the first 6 months, so I hope you guys already have figured out how to support each other because thinking rationally and building new relationship habits with only 5 hours of sleep a night is a struggle.

TL;DR: Anybody know if Lenovo is locking-down NVME by PCI id, the same way they do wifi cards on their new Ryzen 4000 laptops?

I've been looking at Ryzen 4000 based laptops. I need a pointer stick / eraser stick (I hate touchpads), and Lenovo is the only choice I've seen with Ryzen 4000 and a pointer stick.

The Lenovo T14 is pretty compelling. However, I just can't stomach paying roughly 4x the market rate for NVME storage. They want $719 for a 1TB NVME drive (where I don't even know the vendor), when I can buy a 2TB drive from a vendor I trust for 1/2 of that. If I knew I could just open the thing up and replace the NVME drive, then I'd get it. But I"m afraid they've BIOS locked it to whatever OEM drive they ship.
And the same goes for GPT-3 and the resources it needs.

The fist part is kind of garbage but real estate is true.

For whatever reason real estate gets preferential risk treatment in the US. If you pick a hot area you can double your leverage in 7-10 years that’s typically a 500% return. You don’t pay taxes on that gain and your downside is limited to 20% in most non recourse states.

That being said it would be hard to guess what a hot area is right now. Maybe Boise Idaho, and Bend Oregon

I think the answer to both of your questions is yes. I think the related concepts of immutability and pure functions without mutable state allow for cleaner analytical modeling (and in some cases in strong functional languages, mathematical proof) of what that the code is actually going to do in production. That kind of predictability is essential for dealing with financial computations.

I'm not saying big companies deeply care about you as a person, but their interests are at least partially aligned with yours on this. Happier employees are more engaged, work harder, work longer hours. In many cases the things that make employees "happier" are a lot cheaper for employers than increasing someone's salary by x%.

I tried and had some success about 5 years ago on a Fenix 2. Protocol got encrypted afterwards but looks to be still similar (I got the Fenix 3 to "work" at some point). In any case, not an easy task by any means.

The sync protocol mostly just sends all the files to the Garmin server so there is not a lot of logic locally. I no longer have any interest in the topic but if I were to restart, I'd focus on the "Explore" protocol which seems to allow upload/download of waypoints/tracks which is all that I wanted from the device in the first place.

This has always bothered me, why is DSL so bad in the USA?

A part of that is due to thin twisted-pair phone wiring, which is 26AWG instead of 20AWG (0.8mm)[1] in parts of Europe, and presumably because the country is huge[2], but still, I get better service over DSL than cable (in Eastern Europe) because DSL is a dedicated connection from the CPE (modem) to the DSLAM (the central office equipment).

Most of the congestion is on the last-mile network from the CO to the customer premises, so having a dedicated link provides a much more stable connection.

DOCSIS works over CATV cable, which is a shared medium and it is not electrically isolated, so i.e. neighbors can create noise for you if they have badly designed or malfunctioning devices.

VDSL2 35b supports up to 300/100 Mbps for local loops of 300m or less (984 feet), and 35b degrades gracefully to VDSL2 17a for up to 25/4 Mbps at 1300m (0.8 miles). So, in densely populated areas, xDSL would work much better than cable, for people who want a stable connection.

Cable is oversold and can provide a small percent of the speed sold at any time, but usually 90% of the rated speed is available in off-peak intervals.

Additionally, cable has higher ping times than xDSL and more complex CPE that must be controlled by the ISP (even if you buy your own, the CMTS will reprogram it with a configuration file on boot, and the ISP can open any backdoor they want).

Compared to this, DSL CPE can be bought from anywhere and used on any network without ISP interference because DSL is a dedicated medium so there is no trusted part of CPE needed to limit the speed to the user, compared to cable where the CM must have a "trusted" part that the user can't control which will do access control, encryption and also QoS and speed limiting.

Respectfully, I disagree. One scenario results in a plan, one doesn't, and that's a core distinction between the two scenarios. Whether it's a good plan or not is a subject of opinion, but its presence or absence is not.

I think it depends a lot on the content makeup of the food.

In India, in a typical meal with rice or chapathis (baked wheat flour), the base items form bulk of the food, weight wise. Curries and gravys are mostly garnishing. And there is a lot of spice and chili in most foods. So even among those who eat meat, the portions are relatively small. And milk, curd and milk derivative products are a huge part of the Indian meal.

In fact, in India, food is a carefully curated science, especially the traditional dishes. There are a lot of thumb rules for what to eat when, time of the day wise, day wise, day of the week wise, season wise and what not. The cuisine keeps changing.

For example, in the south, most evening dinners have a dish called 'rasam', which is just tamrind juice with tomatoes and a few spices. A very watery dish, where a litre of water is boiled with about 20 grams of tamrind. The reason it is usually taken in the night and during a heavy afternoon meal, is because it very much improves indigestion and constipation.

Indian scriptures give a lot of research on Food, Health, sex and spirituality.

Edit: Fasting is catching on in recent times in the west, but has been a staple part of Indian life since always. But it was never recommended for those whose life depends on manual labour, like farmers. They were always encouraged to take food, in good quantities every day. Lots of meat and sweets were recommended for the warrior class. Meat was forbidden for thise who are in knowledge work, like scholars, poets etc. This class had the most stringent food restrictions, because they essentially sit and think, and eating meat or drinking wine dulls a sharp mind.

I only worked on front-end stuff for a year, but I can say walking the DOM and learning more about it was probably one of the most useful things.
The OP's fundamental frustration (I think, oversimplifying) is that they feel no incentive or no motivation to "do better" or take on the kind of things you suggest. They do not believe it will be rewarding to them, and so what's the point? So, I don't think it's a problem of, they never considered these options before... it's more just, why bother?

Few observations for the OP:

- These are potentially signs of depression in general, that nothing seems worthwhile and you don't want to engage with any activities. Are things outside of work still engaging? Do you put your energy into other hobbies? Or does everything feel tinged with this same flavor of generalized discontent and oh-whats-the-point?

- Setting aside depression as a factor (which OP should seek diagnosis + treatment for, if relevant), in general this is also a self-fulfilling prophecy. By believing that your work has no meaning, that just being barely-better than the rest of the slow/lazy team is good enough, OP will make this into their reality. So in a sense, it's not an objective observation about FANG work-life, and more of a subjective decision to shape OP's reality into this mode.

- OP could be doing better work as you suggest (notice I said better, not more), improving their tech skills, adding impactful examples to their portfolio/resume, empowering their future career, but they're choosing not to. It's not as if the manager has actually blocked OP from learning or working on interesting things. And even if the team is a strategically unimportant team with no long-term career prospects, OP would still be hurting their career by not actually using this time more effectively, to add to their own portfolio of work or body of knowledge... So what if they won't get recognized or promoted for it on their current team, OP will still need to have something to talk about in future interviews or future promotion cycles on other teams. If someone asks OP, "what did you work on from 2019-2020, what significant value did you deliver, what did you learn, what skills did you gain?", what's OP's answer going to be?

- Speaking of promotions... it may feel to the OP that "coasting" along is going okay for now (i.e. no complaints from the manager), but I doubt they are at a career stage that they can really "coast" infinitely/indefinitely. In 2-3 years (or maybe sooner), someone will ask, "hey what has this person really done, that's meaningful or impactful? how critical are they to the team? feels like they're just coasting, right?". Even if OP isn't PIP'ed, they would still be extremely unlikely to earn any promotions, simply because, what is there to justify it? What next-level work have they done, if all they are doing is coasting? So, this is a fleeting/temporary situation, that OP is fooling themselves into thinking coasting like this is sustainable (because short-term, it is).

> I’m assuming that the stolen information doesn’t have this limitation

Stolen information has provenance problems that make it difficult to use as evidence of any crime other than theft itself in any system with even rudimentary due process protections and presumption of innocence.

I mean, it's hardly as if you are going to be able to get the people who handled the data between the people who had it lawfully and the time it got to the police on the stand to attest to it's integrity.

(That doesn't prevent its use in investigations, but it means that it would only lead to convictions in a contested case where the police used it to locate proof that was legally sufficient without the use of the DNA as evidence.)
