Of course that's purely a matter of perspective. If you regard a bloom filter as an approximation of inclusion in a set, it's a false positive, which is how we usually look at it. But if you look at it as a an approximation of safe urls e.g. in a browser it's a false negative (and there are no false positives). The data structure doesn't care; it's just bits: if the overall set is finite, it's even quite hard to tell which makes most sense, but in the more usual practically unbounded case, sure, finite subset inclusion approximation seems a less braintwisting interpretation.
To be clear I meant is it in a fixed position relative to earth? I know if you’re photographing galaxies, they move so little relative to us that they might as well be stationary. But isn’t Hubble in an orbit?
Selwyn College, Cambridge issued a similar statement:

> We recently learned that Selwyn was one of a number of educational and voluntary sector organisations in Cambridge, the UK and across the world to have been affected by a data breach at the US company Blackbaud. [...] In order to protect customers’ data and mitigate potential identity theft, Blackbaud met the ransomware demand in relation to this file. Blackbaud has advised us that having paid the ransom it received assurances that this data had been destroyed and since then there has been no indication that this data remains in circulation.

They also linked to Blackbaud's statement, which confirms they paid the ransom:

> Because protecting our customers’ data is our top priority, we paid the cybercriminal’s demand with confirmation that the copy they removed had been destroyed.

Incidentally, the notification was sent via Blackbaud, and appears to track that I clicked through to the statement (URL includes bblinkid/bbemailid/bbejrid parameters).

Same with fuel prices. War in the middle East? Gas prices jump up overnight. Slump or excess? Consumer prices drop ridiculously slow. Middle men will always use any excuse to extract more from both sides.
Slightly more OT, the fact that this requires more work for less credit is exactly why I think "impact" based "meritocracies" are broken. As klyrs points out in another top-level comment, it's also often the result of discrimination. Many of the worst "never listens" folks I've worked with did listen to people of their own ethnicity (or from their own former employer) without requiring multiple rounds of softening up. I don't know how to fix that. My suggestion is only about how to work in the world-as-it-is to arrive at better technical decisions.
There's a lot of links here that works as advertising. Likely majority of.
Having tried AL and the original, I'm not sure I could spot any sort of difference.

It was years apart and it's all very subjective though.
Reminds me of gas stations, quick to jack up the prices, slow to reduce them.

If you hold inventory, it’s hard to resist unless market pressure forces different pricing.
When implementing Kalman filters a common issue is that the covariance matrix P retards to be not positive semi-definite due to numerical errors. When this happens the Kalman filter may result REALLY weird results.

There is an easy fix for this that is rarely mentioned, except one runs into this issue and googles it:
After updating (prediction and observation) P just ensure its positive semi-definiteness by averaging with its transpose:

P := (P+transpose(P))/2
And your typical mortgage contract will include clauses that stop you from moving your mortgage to some other provider without penalty. You can get badly locked in like that with rates from a decade ago.
In the UK this has got a lot better with banks being forced to offer an "account switching service", which makes it trivial to change your current (checking) account. Things like salaries, standing orders and direct debits (for utility bills etc.) are automatically transferred across. It doesn't work with savings accounts though as far as I know, so it doesn't help much with managing interest rates other than interest-paying current accounts.

As you say though, there are so many complicated conditions around getting paletry interest rates - only available on first £5k, or rates that reset to 0.1% after 12 months - that I'm not sure people would change much anyway.
I'm convinced; the author is clearly a racist because the people in this thread have a poor grasp of the English language. When is his execution?
Google was also the one that invented the technique to prevent sending the URLs serverside. So the random potshot feels unwarranted.
I heard this story / explanation before:

You own a gas station and you want to fill up your tanks so you call the distributor and pay $1 / gallon. You then sell that for $1.10 / gallon making a 10% profit.

Now prices of crude doubles and you have 1000 gallons left to sell. It’s going to cost you $2 / gal to refill so you immediately raise your price to prevent a loss and cover the next fill.

I don’t know how accurate that is to the real situation gas stations face but I’d never thought of it in terms of selling higher to afford the next bulk delivery.

It makes a lot of sense to devide front-end and back-end. Javascript is shared but it is just a part of the stack, while there are a lot of specific frameworks and libraries for one or the other that makes it really difficult to share code. Also in general you can expect back and front to be separate projects with their own best practices. At the same time, you end up doing quite different tasks that provokes that people naturally want to stick to their favorite one instead of trying to work on both of them
There's always the combinatorial number system. But it might be more effort than it's worth.

I guess that’s true in most cases, a lot of people seem to be saying it, but a few months ago we had gas cheaper than $1 per gallon quite suddenly.
Homelessness alone is only a small factor for that drop in life expectancy. Lack of social bonds is probably way bigger (of course, you probably don't end up homeless if you have strong bonds). There's ample research and evidence showing the lowered life expectancy of housed people with few social connections.
> losses of sales of drink/snacks etc in their stores

As a former gas station owner, let me correct you here. Drinks and snacks, no matter how low the volume have crazy margins, sometimes 100% or more and make up a large fraction of gas station profits. It isn't rare to run the fuel at a loss to sell more ice cream and drinks.
Making a career move is hard when you don’t have a guideline and support by your side.

Moving a career as a software engineer can be challenging. I struggled with a career path, moving from junior software developer to frontend developer, data engineer, senior full-stack developer, tech lead even when the tech difference isn’t that big, companies want that you have 100% experience in what they are hiring for.

I’ve been mentoring professionals working in different companies and various fields on how to make smart career moves.

During these mentoring sessions, a lot of common questions are coming up. That’s why I decided to create “Career Move For Software Developers”.

In this book, you will learn how to make a smart career move.

Please pre-order here - https://careermove.io/careermovefordev

Another thing that bothered me so much was career path as a software engineer.

We have:

- Junior

- Mid-level

- Senior

- Lead

- Principle Engineer - some good tech companies have this title

Unless you want to go into full-time management, that's where the road ends at most companies. You can hit this before you're 30.

Then what?

For me, I decided to become a founder (careermove.io) since I have held most of the roles.

If you are on the fence thinking to start something or finding it difficult to build a sustainable business, I would recommend you start with selling your knowledge - teach what you know.

You will make so much out of that especially if you're niche + you can help LOADS of people! You will build credibility and audience.

I can help you. When you pre-order the book + community package, I will personally be your accountability partner to help you build and monetise a product. We will have 1-on-1 weekly check-ins until you launch your own product.
> Being able to run metasploit and wireshark does not make one a hacker. By doing this, pentesters test for yesterday's hacks, not tomorrow's.

Be careful here. This is bordering on elitism.

Having someone come into a business and check for "yesterday's hacks" is better than no one doing any checks at all, therefore such skills are still valuable and worthwhile.

In learning how networking works; how operating systems are designed and implemented; why and how the OWASP Top Ten work; and knowing solutions to these problems is still a valuable skill set.

What you're suggesting is everyone has to be willing and able to write fresh exploitation on the spot when they're testing a client's network when in fact there's a lot that can be discovered (and resolved) with basic scans and simple questions based off of Security+ grade knowledge.

Is It True That There Are Dead Wasps Inside of Figs?
Hardly. We don't often use Chinese words in English regardless of the context, presumably because English speakers find the terms difficult to remember or hard to pronounce.

Chinese does exactly the same thing. I mean, is 盲文 [1] 'yellow' (euch--your terminology) washing? It meets the same standard.

And how about China claiming to have invented high-speed rail, mobile payments and ecommerce? [2] No cries of racism for that one? Strange.

There are many parallel examples.

Most people who have taken LSD have never seen any LSD either, because the dosage is so small. A strong dose is something like 300 micrograms--this amount of crystal is almost invisible to the naked eye.

This also presents problems for chemists, because measuring out such small amounts is prohibitively difficult. So typically they dissolve a measurable amount (say, 30mg) into a volume of liquid (water or alcohol) and distribute it across a sheet of blotter paper divided into 100 squares, so that when the liquid dries, each square contains the desired dose (in the example, 300mcg)[1]. This is why the image most people have of LSD is a half-centimeter by half-centimeter square of paper--they're not seeing LSD, they're seeing the paper the LSD crystals are trapped in.

Since I'm posting this under my real name, I should clarify that the reason I've researched this is that I did volunteer harm reduction at festivals. I don't even drink alcohol, let alone take drugs.

[1] To be clear, LSD at stable temperatures is a solid crystal. There's no such thing as "liquid LSD"--that's LSD dissolved in a solvent.
That's just Ubuntu Touch thing, but there are other distros out there. You shouldn't think about phones like Librem 5 or PinePhone the same way as you think about "Android phones" - there's nothing that ties them inherently to a single operating system. They're rather more like a PC where you can choose your distro by yourself.

However, if you're looking for "out-of-the-box GNU/Linux experience", Librem 5 comes with PureOS, which is essentially a FSF-approved Debian. See https://puri.sm/posts/what-is-mobile-pureos/
I was just talking to a friend about that - a lot of 3D printers are sold out. Good webcams are gone. Cheap intex vinyl pools are gone or selling for 5-10x their original price. It really is astounding how quickly things shifted.
I would actually argue that Ross' body of work constitutes a non-traditional branch of modern art and/or contemporary art. It's easy to dismiss it as kitschy landscape paintings cranked out at the rate of 1 per half-hour in order to sell painting supplies by the uninformed. But in achieving the goals of making art accessible to the masses and democratizing it -- much like your average Rothko or abstract dentist office waiting room art achieves the "I could do that" reaction from the public.

Ross actually created a massive, multi-decade, mixed media art form that not only invites the viewer to appreciate the performative parts of the show and the paintings but also to participate. The establishment art world would rather accept mediocre product that generates outrage (and is marketable at auction) and so it rejects Ross who instead focused his work on creating the emotion of calm zen.

I wholeheartedly agree with you that displaying his paintings as they are is not the best way to present them. Each painting was actually made in triplicate as part of the performance production. They should be displayed that way, in sequence, with a screen showing the episode in which the piece was painted perhaps between the first and second paintings, and the third painting and the book page it was presented in coming after. This provides 5 unique contexts in which to appreciate the scene -- performance included.

I might even argue that the entire body of his work is actually a single piece called "The Joy of Painting" that really has to be seen in its totality to be fully appreciated, but also allows the viewer to enjoy it in various fragments. His work is the product of a lifetime, it's informed by his experiences, it challenges establishment art, it tries to evoke a particular emotion, it's monumental, and it's almost exactly the kind of art society needs at the moment.

I know, but most of these "hacks" are identified by internal scans already. The pentest doesn't add much value then. The issue is more internal resistance to change in the management team.

Like I said I know most companies already fail at the basics. But these are normally well known already, just not fixed due to political pressure. Having the security team's management be better at influencing would pre-empt these issues. Pentests serve to bring these known issues under discussion again, but they often don't bring any unknown issues to light.

Also, they tend to be too artificial. In one example: In a recent pentest I know of, they sent some remote access malware to the admins, which they all ignored and reported. However as they couldn't continue they called one admin's manager and asked him to tell the admin to click on the link so that they could proceed. The outcome of the pentest was that if a malicious actor sent a malicious remote access malware and if it was clicked on, they would have remote access. Well duh.

Of course this could be mitigated by having separate workstations for email and admin activity, which was an issue that was already understood and a mitigation in progress. This is what I mean by pentesting not raising new issues. Another example: The company in question already test new web apps for known attacks, and is quite successful (in fact I've never seen a new app come through the certification process in the first round). What I'd expect from a pentest is to tell us something we don't know :) It's an interesting second-opinion but it's not the amazing X-ray it's promised to be.

The nice thing about this treatment is that testing should be a bit easier. Not really dangerous in a controlled setting, and if you find someone who is early stages of cancer then if it isn't effective you can switch to a known treatment.

If you can borrow from your central bank for nothing, why would pay depositors anything? They're not just competing with free, they're unreliable and expensive to manage.
They don't have to be, but in the absence of evidence, they are. That's just true by the definitions of the words.

Put another way: not all faith is blind, but faith without skepticism is blind faith; not all confidence is unjustified, but in the confidence without justification (evidence) is unjustified.
I spent a night in an altitude sickness clinic in Cusco on my way there! When we’d arrived (I was traveling with a large group for my friend’s wedding) we had some tours planned. They tell you not to hike, not to eat a big meal, and not to drink alcohol. So of course most of us did all three.

I’ve never had problems before even at similar altitudes, but my O2 sat got down to nearly 80 by the time I was put in the ambulance. It wasn’t pleasant.

But, a night hooked up to oxygen and I was fine. The hospital mostly catered to people with altitude sickness (even the locals get it, and it is seemingly random in who gets it and when) and was nicer than my hotel.

I got an ambulance ride there and a night in the hospital. They made me sign a waiver saying I agreed to pay it no matter the cost, and I was thinking about how many organs I’d have to sell to pay for it. Final price: $130. The place was cheaper and nicer than my hotel, and with decent meals and all the oxygen you can huff, so next time I’ll just book it.

Edit: one piece of advice. If you’re going to somewhere with that altitude, get a cheap pulse oxymeter on Amazon first! The hotels don’t have them.
The world doesn't stop spinning so you can learn both.

That is true, but the world seems to spin a lot slower from the right perspective. Most of the "progress" in web development really isn't. Game-changers come along every now and then, but much more rarely than hype. Someone who is already proficient with both front-end and back-end work can easily keep on top of the developments that actually matter.

Also, just keeping track of the tech either side is discarding is enough to fill one mind. Keeping a pulse on useful best practices from multiple domains while the world races forward is no small feat.

Yes, professional development takes work, and keeping up with technology requires some of your time. But once again, the more you already know, the less any given development is likely to make a profound difference to you, and the more quickly you can scan what's happening and focus in on anything of real interest.

For example, on the front-end side, I probably find one or two articles or videos per month that offer some genuinely new insight or understanding. I might find one or even two front-end tools per year that are sufficiently interesting to be worth investigating in more detail and potentially adopting for future work. It's not that I don't read or watch more than that, but I filter ruthlessly and rarely waste time on anything that doesn't have either an immediate benefit or obvious potential. This also means I usually haven't wasted much time on tech that didn't stick around for long.

Statistically speaking, I'm probably a more experienced developer than most here, but I make no claim to being unique or superhuman. I imagine there are others reading this discussion whose experience is not so very far from mine.

I really don't think that's a totally fair take on the situation. The theme of the BLM protests was people taking on huge personal risk to seize an opportunity for change that might not present itself again. I don't think anyone was trying to argue that joining a crowd in a pandemic and standing opposed to police in riot gear itching to use it was a safe thing to do.
