It sounds a bit ironic, but I'll bite: you shouldn't. Rather carefully pick a few tools based on peer-review, license, and your goals and start slowly. Too many tools at once will cause analysis fatigue.

That said, in the future we hope to provide a paid video course about static analysis for e.g. Python and Go if there is market interest.
Maybe you should.

> (2) Expand our diversity recruitment programs specifically targeting women, people of color, and LGBT people with the goal of doubling recruitment of these groups in 2017 and steadily increasing the share of these groups as a proportion of new hiring in subsequent years.

Initiatives like this worry me that we'll end up like my previous employer where we were off-the-record instructed not to hire a white male for our open position.
That's a very nice tool! I think it should really make it easy for programmers to make presentations with inline code blocks. `reveal.js` is really a blessing in that regards!
I have read that the KDBX4 password database is "very secure" but am curious if any hacking challenges have been conducted to see if anyone can break it? The challenge I have in mind put some kind of contact info in an entry and then post the KDBX file on a public site for anyone to download and try to hack. If you get it open, use the info to contact the contest organizers and once you explain how you overcame the security and it's replicated you get however much has been donated as a hack bounty.

I'll put $100 in right now if the maintainers of KeePassXC are down with this.
I remember years ago seeing an ad for a mobile phone with one guy watching the sun go down saying "Is it there yet?" and then the other person seeing it come up and saying "It's here".

Just tried to find it, but my google-fu skills aren't working, or I just imagined it. Either or both are distinctly possible.
It isn't about the compute. This is about the databases. I don't see it as stretch that google is using a sharding strategy for their datastores.

And at the same time you win by not falling victim of "oops, there is a bug in our browser add-on that accidentally leaks arbitrary login data to websites", as it has happened in the past. Leaking all my credentials certainly sounds more concerning to me than leaking the credentials to a single page.

I rode one 20 years ago to islands off the coast of Greece. One of the trips was rough though due to choppy seas. I recall seatbelts were required and barf bags were utilized by a few passengers.
For anyone who doubts that Huxley was satirising the 1930's in Brave New World, consider his list of newspapers:

"In the basement and on the low floors were the presses and offices of the three great London newspapers–The Hourly Radio, an upper-caste sheet, the pale green Gamma Gazette, and, on khaki paper and in words exclusively of one syllable, The Delta Mirror."

Programmers can give you good error bounds. Ask what the best and worst case is for solving a problem, and 80% of the time they will be within those bounds.

The problem is that management doesn't want to hear about the worst case, because it looks bad for them politically.

I'd suggest that it depends on the work. Like most things it tends to come down to negotiation, skill, value and how difficult or easy a specific person is to replace. Although that last bit isn't always well understood by MBA types in various cases.

That said, making everyone the same isn't a better solution, just a different one and in many ways much worse.
That's cool, thanks for sharing. I vibed with your point about being stimulated and [not checking out]. I'm relatively new to programming (5 years, self-taught) but I find the endless amount of information to learn quite appetizing and inspiring. I think I'll stick around with this stuff for a while.

Maybe I'll take a look at D now :)

Do you have any resources you'd suggest to someone (who, btw, doesn't have a systems programming background -- but is curious to learn!)
This is what I see most shops doing, including ours. I think the cost of getting off a mainframe is too high, so this will likely continue to be be the trend for the foreseeable future.

Also, mainframes can run both batch jobs and "online" (CICS) jobs. Our shop is about half and half with batch and online programs. The main thing that batches can be annoying with is that they run on schedules and may have to wait for other jobs to complete before they can kick off, causing delays. We just upgraded from a z13 to z15, so our mainframe is no longer a concern but we are also much smaller than a bank.

So when Experian negligently exposes their customer's data which gets stolen, it's not their fault? Punishing a company for ineptitude should be expected.
That's the issue though. There is an obligation inherent to all actors in the system. A "Rule Zero", and "Rule 1/2" if you will.

Zero: Thou shalt do good business to service they debts within the period negotiated, under the terms set forth prior. Thou shalt eschew business that knowingly unduly harms thy counterparty, or results in large chunks of value getting converted into lawyer's fees.

Rule 1/2: Thou shalt be burned by bad business, because no one seems to grok and internalize the second tenet of Rule Zero.
after abandoning apple, i tried a few different distros, and i think i,ll probably try a few more. none have brought me the cohesiveness of osx of years past, but keyboard accessibility is generally better. i,ve mostly stuck to the more lightweighr distros, and have been pretty happy with fedora lxde and mint xfce.

> Outrageous is the entitlement of the current generations for not paying for their tools.

Sure, but in the case of an open-source developer working on macOS, he has already paid for his operating system; if he is using GCC, he has already paid everything the GCC developers require; why then must he pay extra money to Apple in order for other people to run his software in a straightforward manner on their machines (or, in the future, at all)? How is Apple even a party when two people wish to transact, when one writes and compiles free software on his hardware (paid for) and software (paid for) and the other runs it on his hardware (paid for) and software (paid for)?
Still wouldn't board one :)
I find it kind of odd that there appears to be a huge overlap between the following two groups of people:

People that say government can or should impose/strongly-suggest/mandate mask wearing to protect overall population. Essentially the pro-mask wearing individuals.

Individuals that believe that we need end-to-end encryption, and that we can't have government watching our emails, tracking our movements, doing facial recognition, profiling, etc to stop violence.

In both cases, one could argue, the solutions being pushed-back against can effectively stop their respective problems. E.g. large scale big-brother surveillance of all individuals could effectively reduce crime to near zero. Just as 100% large scale government lockdowns/SIP and mask-orders can stop the spread of an epidemic.

Obviously I'm generalizing to try draw a comparison and point out the hypocrisy. Both of the problems require a suspension of some set of rights for "the greater good", yet we somehow balk at one (surveillance, facial recognition, centralized DBs, etc) whilst applauding and being offended when people question the other (mask wearing, SIP laws, social distancing, etc).

It's probably time that we decide as a society what we want instead of incessantly debating back and forth with contradictory requirements and expectations we impose on our governments.

The Ancient Stratagems of Frontinus
Yes of course:

- Sharing styling libraries (currently done via css files) across multiple web development teams, giving the ability to a central team of designers/developers to modify the look and feel of dozens of websites of the company

- Media queries, sass mixins and functions

- Components can be used in different contexts. The styling can be dramatically different in these contexts. Overriding the "style" attribute is harder than overriding a css class definition.

- Worse developer experience while trying to reason about the styling of a particular page. Image you have a page composed of multiple components. I think (and thus argue) it is easier to glance at a css file (or multiple css files) to understand how the whole thing fits together, instead of looking at all the individual components
files, mentaly filter out the markup to keep the css and try to compose a wholistic picture.
Just to add to this - once you find music you do enjoy listening to, use discogs.com to find the producer of it and see what else they have produced, find what instrumentalists were on it that you really like and find what else they were on. Discogs is extremely valuable

as someone from another country where homeschooling is not allowed and private education is shunned upon, let me give you the other side of the argument.

private education created a large divide between people of different social classes and it absolutely removes social cohesion. (which results in a ton of other problems).

Some kids do indeed not function in normal classrooms, but this is the reason why special needs education (i don' t know if that is the correct english term) exists.
In my opinion, homeschooling does not adequately provide child with the experience it needs to grow up, especially in regards to social skills.

Steam (almost[1]) nails the malware-free part, but people's drive to make it open to all and not fully curated (to remove AAA biases) also led to it becoming full of shovelware and "baby's first game" products. Conversely, Epic Games Store is doing the complete opposite with a heavily-curated store and a tightly-controlled catalog.

Yes, “don’t hire white men” is a much different policy than “please increase your funnel and hire more non white cis hereto men”. I would argue your previous employer more or less just misses the point of these things.
I'm doing similar thing with KeePass. While there are browser extensions to work with KeePass, I decided to not use those. I'm using Ctrl+B, Ctrl+V for user name and I'm using Ctrl+V which sends keystrokes into browser to fill password. Actually most of websites remember my login information for a long time, so this is not a problem at all. And I like to keep some sense of control over my private data.
> 12200 Wh/kg

Most ICE engines have efficiencies from 20 to 35%. Taking an average of 25% effciency, batteries have to essentially aim at about 3000 Wh / kg

Most battery motor systems have a round trip efficiencies of about 80%, so to compete with ICE engines, EV systems have a target of about 4000 Wh/kg.

edit : I also forgot to add about regenerative braking. For on road EV vehicles, regenerative braking can capture about 70% of the energy lost in braking. So, while a battery can store just 450 Wh/kg, averaged total energy, expended from the battery terminals, averaged over time, would have to be higher.

It also makes sense to calculate the average total energy stored in the vehicle, rather than the energy densities of the fuels. For a 300 mile range, assuming an average 30 mpg fuel efficiency, you would need about 10 gallons, about 38 kg. So total stored energy in the vehicle in form of fuel, is 12200 * 38 = ~ 465 kWh. But, of this energy, only 25 % is converted to usable movement, i.e, about 118 kWh.

However on a Model 3 LR, which has a range of 300 miles per charge, the battery capacity is 80 kWh (Tesla claims 75 kWh). So there is no basis to compare energy densities of various fuels directly.
That is what I'm using too
What a beautifully designed hardware controller, so much attention to details.
> I wouldn't be surprised if wages do trend towards the average productivity of labours, but again, that would be far higher than barely surviving

The cost of reproduction of labor is more than base subsistence, it's things like base subsistence, cleaning your house, child rearing, and so on.

> at least today in countries with access to productivity boosting technology.

Wages, in the US, largely don't track to productivity gains. For other countries, I wouldn't be too surprised to see similar statistics, but modified according to labor rights, culture around unions, etc etc.

> So as long as that's true, people on average won't accept being paid the equivalent of a bag of rice a day if you could always go out and produce several on your own.

You have to have land to grow rice. This, like yours, is a simplification, but it largely abstracts to the present situation. You can always drive for Uber, but you need a car to drive.
In other places, mask mandates were correlated with a 46% drop in daily new cases. https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2020/08/12/coro...

And even if mask laws are lifted and infection rates continue going down, it does not show that masks are ineffective nor that the OP was correct. After a mask mandate, some people will continue wearing masks and social distancing. As with immunity, the efficacy is in the numbers, with a critical mass necessary to protect the "herd".
A cursory google about honey's antimicrobial properties suggest it's really not as trivial as the hygroscopic properties of sugar although I am comfortable agreeing that will be a contributing factor. So unless you're an expert in the field, I'd be curious to know where your certainty comes from.

I never asserted it was a magical potion but after studying biochemistry, pharmacology and medicinal chemistry, I was pretty humbled by how little we humans think we know, and how primitive our methods are when compared against nature at problem solving.

Our physiology is exquisitely sensitive, the fact that nature has found ways to exploit even things like kinetic isotope effects to good use undermines all kinds of naive assumptions we like to model over like "the chemistry elements express is the same across its isotopes". Modern medicine is still a woefully blunt tool in the face of the future of possibilities.

So when the bees "engineered" honey to be a certain way, I like it as a product because it's been through an iterative design process and "clinical trials" for the course of millennia, if you will...
The cost to replace a single person in a company doesn't always allow for that replacement to be anywhere. There are often other fixed costs associated as well as legal restrictions. Otherwise there would be nobody working in the US at all right now.

There was very much a prediction of the Big Bang, before it was strongly supported by experimental evidence. This is what Penzias and Wilson got the Nobel prize for. Their accidental detection of the Cosmic Microwave Background matched a prediction by Gamow, and others previously, and it was also used as evidence to rule out solid state theory. Does that mean it's the whole story? Of course not necessarily, and the Big Bounce isn't necessarily incompatible with these observations. However, I don't think the idea that the universe rapidly expanded at some point in the past is under any doubt.

So this wasn't a model fitting the data. In fact it was an accidental observation which agreed with a model that had been suggested much earlier. The fact Penzias and Wilson weren't even looking for it makes it even more unbiased. Wilson, I believe, was also a solid state person (as were many prominent physicists in the 20s and 30s).
I have some experience with foiling sailboats, and I would never expect the problems that foiling sailboats have to impact motorboats at all. Control problems are all well solved for motorboats, but the moment of a sail that is perpendicular to the direction of travel puts a huge kink in the picture that has been hard to tame. Even then, there have been huge strides lately...like the iFly 15, which uses a mechanical active controller which basically relies on two small rods with a float on the ends to measure foiling height and heeling, and mechanically adjust the coils to maintain stability. It works marvellously.

Since you used a check, chances are pretty high your could issue a stop-payment order to your bank and the check would be refused. (Assuming you realized in time.)

It would be similar if you paid with ACH, IIRC. Participation in the ACH network requires acceptance of a strict timing schedule whereby txns are reversible under certain circumstances for a limited period of time.
VAR isn't the sum total of risk management strategy. It's just a faulty one that's still heavily relied upon today despite this knowledge.

Fusion is very questionable -- it has inherently poor features from an engineering/cost point of view, and space is a terrible place to mine uranium or thorium. Earth is actually the best place in the solar system to mine uranium, as the element is concentrated by something like three orders of magnitude in the continental crust over average chondritic abundance.
KeePass(XC) encrypts the database on its own.
There have been audits of the official KeePass.info software which some argue still has open vulnerabilities.

Not sure if there have been audits of this popular fork or the format itself.

IIRC the format is relatively simple: an encrypted XML stream. So it may be OK.

I'd recommend checking out Elementary OS [0]. It's based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic), so you have the support of one of the (arguably) larger Linux communities, and you have the freedom to do what you like. It has a custom desktop environment meant to feel more like macOS, and decent keyboard shortcuts.

> This is exactly why the COVID-19 stimulus checks were only sent to people making less than $100k.

I agree that this was why, but the end result was that many people fell through the cracks, largely due to situations changing for many since the 2018 tax return it was based on. People who earned 90k in 2018 and 120k in 2020 were eligible, where people earning 100k in 2018 and unemployed due to covid in 2020 were ineligible.

> ... X billionaire getting a UBI or stimulus check and outrage ensues.

If accidentally giving money to people who are "too wealthy" is really that big of a deal, it can always be taxed back at the end of the year. Anyone who earns over $X that received UBI has to pay it back in taxes or opt out themselves? It doesn't seem like an unsolvable problem, and it avoids the many pitfalls of means testing. I'd lean towards accidentally giving one of the ~600 billionaires in the U.S. a few thousand dollars over accidentally leaving tens or hundreds of thousands of Americans excluded.
> Infinity, is still unfathomable but at least it is easier to fit Maths and Physics around.

Arguably Maths requires this same discontinuity due to Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem. Consistent axiomatic systems require a Gödel sentence that is unprovable in the system; it requires a logical tautology or else your system will contain an infinite regress.

I think of a logical tautology as a kind of "something from nothing", but I suppose that is debatable. The implication of this property of axiomatic systems on reality is also debatable, but wouldn't any system we come up with to describe reality need to abide by these same rules?
Please spare us from reports of studies with few subjects (n < 50), based on subjective self-report, and with results reported that were unintended by the study's design.

It's just p-hacking or random chance and a news outlet's way of generating clicks for itself. These findings are made public, and then almost always quietly disappear into the churn of other scientific ideas of dubious validity.

If only the follow-up, larger (n >> 50) study that later is conducted that reports negative results was as widely reported and disseminated.
