Enterprises with a significant number of IT services are well-adviced to think about consolidation of authentication and authentication mechanisms. There is a huge zoo of architectures to choose from (LDAP/AD, Kerberos, OAuth, Radius, OpenID) and most off-the-shelf software has integrations for these. Every password that your users have to remember increases the chance that they use unsafe ones or even write them down on sticky notes on their desktop. Yes, middlewares have bugs too, but most of the trivial ones likely have been found long ago.
I haven’t read the book you mentioned, but from my opinion derived after studying Maslow and Rogers, is that actualization refers to the result of factors leading to a fully functioning human, and by proxy, a happy/content/at peace one.

If you ever get a chance, look into some of Maslow’s explanations on the characteristics of an individual who has self-actualizated. There are other interesting humanistic psychologists such as Dabrowski that are fascinating as well.

Powershell, for example, tries to address these points by naming commands more verbosely, having verbose flags and even having programs input and output object-y data instead of just plain text.

These are all nice ideas that don't work very well in practice because the verbosity is only beneficial when writing scripts and is just cumbersome for interactive use. Also, Linux (and other Unix-likes in general) are better designed to be used w/ scripted and cli tools, and the object nature of IO often just gets in the way. But the biggest issue is that the built-in tools just arent as powerful as POSIX core utilities and especially GNU-extended ones.

Singaporean here. If anything, one reason I'd say that Singapore isn't like Disneyland now is because its "management" has lost touch with the ground, and things aren't as well-maintained as Disneyland.

Back during the dot-com era, we hired someone (and paid for their relocation across the country!) who didn't know how to code. We were a VB6/COM shop at the time and they spent easily 3 days on a simple if..else statement before someone noticed. To their credit, the company was generous with the severance.

There were a couple of reasons why this happened. Firstly because at the time, companies were hiring anyone who could spell "programming". There was this huge shortage of talent. And secondly, everyone was too busy and tired from 14+ hour days to have done a proper interview.

One random note I heard on a podcast about child development is that children do not improve their language skills by watching tv or educational material and that they need feedback to learn.

I'm struggling to come up with something more substantive to say in response, but this is a bad take and it needs to be said.

That’s what I felt like when ai joined a company that issued me a macbook for the first time. There’s nothing quite like demonstrating your code to somebody and having the conversation turn into a tutorial on cmd vs ctrl keys. It was probably only a week or two before I had it mostly worked out, but the imposter syndrome was pretty bad for a while. I can imagine falling into the same trap as the fellow in your story if I had trouble with the code too. At some point you start thinking that anything you say will out you so you just shut up and hope to delay the inevitable.
Police have institutional memory. For example a demo in Trafalgar Square. For more than a century the authorities have known how to control that space.

I suggest the author look to the history of protest rather than Africa's Rift Valley.

Same. It's very easy to mix them, sometimes on lines entered minutes apart. I'm used to double quotes in C#, C++, Rust, etc. so it's just my natural fallback when coding in Python. I find myself doing it with SQL occasionally too, but there it's quite obvious right after entering the double quote since the string syntax highlighting doesn't kick in.
A project is doomed to fail unless you setup a specific target success goal before you start.

Perhaps one can get lucky, and stumble into success - monetary or fame or something. But more often than not, a project that didn't initially define what success looks like would be doomed to fail (and meandering is also a type of failure under this model).
More importantly, that's the timezone Mission Control is in.

IMHO, this is going a bit too far. Some parts of unsafe Rust have had a model produced that can check some of the invariants required for safe Rust. For example, in my understanding, traits were not modeled at all. Still very promising work, but don't want to overstate it either!

Clearly not. NASA was already not keen about the superdraco system.
The explosion that destroyed the Dragon 2 capsule that was slated for the In-flight Abort test killed any chance of it being used for human-rated flights.

> Does that mean that it is officially not there

This is life-critical hardware/software. You don't go putting functionality in there that isn't approved by NASA, and most importantly the crew who're going to fly it.

Finding out that there's undocumented features and easter-eggs, even if they might in some very remote scenario help save life is certain to be outweighed by the risk that having it in there might somehow contribute to someone's death.

Could it be used for propulsive landing? Perhaps, but they'll first have to prove to NASA that it's safe - just like they proved to NASA that reused launch vehicles were safe, and reused Dragon 1 capsules were safe.

SpaceX seems to have given up on the idea of it anyway. They deleted landing legs from the capsule, and propulsive landing at sea as an emergency backup for the failure of all four parachutes (and you'd need to include a way to detect the failure, cut the chutes and then use the superdraco thrusters) seems a shitload of work which is probably going to only increase risk.

For propulsive landing of humans/cargo, it seems Spaceship their focus.
But they are quite cheap and they fold away. The next tier up 'wheel-off' trainers are much quieter.

To flesh out the sibling comment with formality: the periodic table of categories [0] gives the zero-dimensional objects as "trivial". This isn't to say that they're empty, or just points, even though those are both reasonable interpretations. It means that there's not really anything predictable or deducible. The number of deductions is zero, but also, the dimension of the largest possible proof is zero, the dimension of the largest possible diagram is zero, etc. There's not just nothing there, but nothing constructible.

Nonetheless the trivial objects exist, which is enough to allow us to draw arrows to/from them, and those arrows are not zero-dimensional. So these trivial objects show up as trivial endpoints in situations where there's only one of something.

The old backups are clean, yes. But newer backups (created after infiltration) will be contaminated. Immutable and append-only doesn't help because the files were already contaminated when backed up.

The attacker could: get the victim infested with malware; ensure that the malware infects all new files; wait one year; then trigger the encrypt function.

If the victim pulls a file that is newer than one year old from backup, the victim will pull the malware from backup.

(Only if the file is of a type that could be infected in the first place, of course. README.txt will not be infected.)

"Why would I want the government to manage this when we know how to do this well without a government involved? What's the benefit of using FedCoin over using something decentralized with good monetary properties?"

Fed coin would be in fact very useful for the government itself... not sure if you have some understanding of the latest 2008 crisis and how the fed address the issue but there are many shortcomings in the solution proposed that would be easily addressed with a government backed digital currency.
The main one would be , in my opinion, to be able to manage more efficiently money lent to banks.
At that time the banks received a lot of money from the fed with the hope that the this money would be use to increase the loans ( and so the economy).
However, banks were not very keen to follow that inventive and did not lend as expected.
The point in having a digital currency would have let the fed to reward (with a lowest rates) banks playing the game.
This just one example I have on the top of my mind right now, but I'm sure we can find others advantages.

I graduated in 2009 and in my engineering courses calculators were disallowed for similar reasons. I have found that courses that disallow calculators generally have the problems set up in a more elegant manner. E.g done properly the results end up in whole numbers or radicalize well rather than just an incoherent string of decimals. Courses that were focused on physical phenomenon like device electronics allowed calculator use because multiplying with Planck's constant by hand gets old quickly.
A lot of slide rules have a bunch of scales but there are only a few you routinely use. Using a slide rule is very easy to pick up. That said, you do need to handle the order of magnitudes mentally and precision is necessarily limited.

And slide rules don't do addition or subtraction.

So they were useful in the absence of calculators as a way to avoid using log and trig tables but you wouldn't realistically use them in place of calculators today. (But then I think vinyl records are pretty silly too; and I say that as someone who grew up with them and actually owns a turntable.)

Many far smarter people have said this before, far more eloquently than I can, but in short:

Cloud Computing (and SASS even more so) is little more than just another attempt to recreate access/info monopolies, essentially the same profit proposition as existed with closed source software, while pretending to be one of the cool kids and use politically more acceptable (but in this context rather meaningless) terms like Open Source and Open Standards. It may be a different generation of companies, with slightly different cultures, but they are all equally predatory in nature as the old ones.
