I guess it depends on what kind of developer you are. You might do easy stuff in trendy frameworks, in which case you're closer to the physicist - but only in the sense that your knowledge is rendered obsolete every couple of years.

How to Design Programs (https://htdp.org/) is fantastic, I believe it's based off SICP but I found it a little more accessible. It leads into recursion pretty well and intuitively, probably the favorite programming book I've read.

> That acme.sh is a fuckin' gigantic hacky shell script (this is a compliment Neil, I promise) and is, in many ways, superior to Certbot, is quite disappointing.

See also dehydrated. It's what we use in many places, and I find it much easier to understand what's going on that certbot.

There's quite a list of dependencies that get pulled in when one does an apt-get install certbot, and I'm not quite comfortable with that. I can generally follow a shell script though.

On a more fun note, what is considered "Chinese" varies greatly by language (it's Greek in English): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_to_me#In_other_languages

In German, wikipedia claims "Polish in reverse" (though there's no other reference to that phrase on the Net, other than Reverse Polish Notation).

Well, you don’t change a base law just like that and to do that would require a lot of other laws to be changed. And I’m not sure they would have gathered enough political will to do those changes. And that’s also what the government concluded. It’s kind of what the 2nd amendment to a US citizen is, and an individual right to do whatever they please without having the government to interfere.

A great way to let someone understand recursion is to let them learn how the principle of mathematical induction works. It gets rid of all the noise related to the programming language.

The surreal aspect of this is the UK prosecution's assertions that the US prosecution is not politically motivated. All you have to do is look at the speech that CIA Director (now Secretary of State) Mike Pompeo made about Wikileaks and Assange in April 2017.[1] These passages give a taste of his remarks:

> It is time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is – a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia.

> No, I am quite confident that had Assange been around in the 1930s and 40s and 50s, he would have found himself on the wrong side of history.

> We know this because Assange and his ilk make common cause with dictators today.

> That Assange is the darling of terrorists is nothing short of reprehensible.

> No, Julian Assange and his kind are not the slightest bit interested in improving civil liberties or enhancing personal freedom. They have pretended that America’s First Amendment freedoms shield them from justice. They may have believed that, but they are wrong.

> Assange is a narcissist who has created nothing of value. He relies on the dirty work of others to make himself famous. He is a fraud—a coward hiding behind a screen.

> First, it is high time we called out those who grant a platform to these leakers and so-called transparency activists. We know the danger that Assange and his not-so-merry band of brothers pose to democracies around the world. Ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons.

> Third, we have to recognize that we can no longer allow Assange and his colleagues the latitude to use free speech values against us. To give them the space to crush us with misappropriated secrets is a perversion of what our great Constitution stands for. It ends now.

But if you listen to the UK prosecutor, Assange is just being prosecuted because some low-level prosecutor in the US decided, on their own initiative, to build a case against him. The fact that high-level officials in the US government have been openly calling for an example to be made of Assange is supposed to be irrelevant.

The UK should have dismissed this extradition request out-of-hand when it was first made, given the obvious political motivations behind it. The US-UK extradition treaty makes it very clear that extradition is not allowed in such cases.

Even in the 10s of thousands, these price differences should probably be a secondary issue for many commercial contexts... at least at the startup end of the game.

If you are producing a $40 microwave, smart bulb or somesuch... shaving dollars off component costs is operative. I think this supports your original point rather than detracts from it. This is the mass production game, a mostly big company game.

Microcontrollers have reached a cost point where the dynamic has inverted. The people who need to care about a new, cheaper-than-ever mc are large companies, not startups, hobbyists and niche product designers. There will be lots of exceptions, especially hobbyist use case... but generally.

There is such a thing as cheap enough.
What I personally see in academic setting is that when recursion is taught, it's taught using examples where you would not want to use recursion.

It's easy to understand why recursion is useful when you are tasked with traversing a file system. It's not when the first example you are given is calculating Fibonacci sequence.

And Herbert skips over all the details of that massive war. You go from one chapter describing the start of the war to the next chapter of Alia standing before Baron when most of the action has taken place. Anyway, that is at the end of the novel, which will not be included in this movie. So, I guess the clips shown are from the arrival on Arrakis and the battle that took place during the night to overthrow the Artreidies, which in the book is described as a relatively short battle and also not in much detail.
There is this joke in the series 'Person of Interest' where it's stated that Social Media was specifically invented for the purpose of data harvesting by the 'NSA'. I think it's the same for cloud computing.

The point of having separate imports for separate versions is to allow for use of (for example) both v1 and v2 of a module within the same codebase, if required. Your idea would force a single version, which means that would no longer be possible.

Off-topicness
>Google, Apple, Amazon, ... are not startups, they are behemoths backed up by the USA government. Europe has many very good startups that are just purchased with USA dollars once they are successful.

What I meant was that they were startups at one point.

I could have given other examples but there are so many that it's hard to decide. Dropbox, Reddit, imgur just to name a few. This site should know plenty of VC fueled startups.

The point was not which startups to name as examples, the point was that lack of regulations make this whole VC system go around.

I could never see that system working here because bureaucracy slows everything down and forces corporations to do things like care for employees and pay taxes.

But with that said, recent news shows that Sweden has given tax exemptions to Facebook and Amazon just like everyone else. To curry their favor. It's frankly disgusting.
No, it's just working hard to legally justify what is basically doing a political favor to the current US administration. Or at least working hard at being seen going through the motions of doing so. Appearances can be deceiving. Both Trump and Johnson basically inherited this mess from several predecessors before them. They might be getting ready to move on and they are both opportunists.

The only risk for British politicians is getting caught with their pants down messing this up (either way). A judge basically needs to sign off on the obvious political desire to please the Trump administration with this. For that to happen, there's a bunch of legal boxes to be ticked and the whole thing plays out in public, which is ever so embarrassing when there are some obvious moral and legal challenges to be made. Hence the glee in this article and the drama with lawyers and prosecutors having their day in court. This thing is obviously toxic at this point. But regardless, the legal precedent is such that they can probably make this happen provided the political will is there.

So, the only question is whether that political will is still real.

As of November, the political landscape in the US may change and I fully expect the legal proceedings to drag out at least that long thus providing both parties a way to get out of what will no doubt be a PR mess on both sides if it actually ever comes to an extradition. That basically largely just hangs on whether Trump is still there or not.

If Trump wins, the PR mess is just business as usual on the US side and it will barely register against the near constant state of media outrage. On the British side, they get some kudos for being nice which will no doubt help with their post-brexit trade negotiations.

If on the other hand Biden wins, I expect he'll be interested in repairing the damage of the past few years in terms of foreign relations and not getting associated with this stinking mess he just inherited and appeasing relations with the more liberal factions in his party.

Likewise, Trump might actually be wanting to pick his fights carefully if he should win. He already casually hinted at dropping the whole thing once or twice and it wouldn't surprise me if he opts for dropping this right after the election regardless of whether he wins them because after that it no longer serves him any political purpose whereas dropping this in some grand way would make him seem like a wise stateman. Win or lose, he'd have more to gain from shooting for that than some dragged out drama for the next years.

The easiest way to do that would basically be the US giving up on extradition after which the UK can grudgingly release Assange without further loss of face and put him on a plane to wherever. End of story. Assange on trial in the US is not a good outcome for anyone at this point.
Specialisation Is the Root of All Evil
At my 2nd full-time job, starting as a junior in a team, I got a higher starting salary than what I was comfortable asking at the interview, plus got a yearly 10% salary increase for the next 5+ years. When I left the company I still got invited to the Christmas party, even though I was no longer working for them. Also, the local managing director grew out from being a developer 15+ years prior (in the same company), and new all his 300+ employees by name. There are always exceptions to a rule.

> Those results were a game-changer. They’re miles better than I got running the same load on the HP Envy x360 (around eight hours), the Dell XPS 13 (seven and a half hours), the Asus Zephyrus G14 (almost nine hours), and even low-power stuff like Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet (11 and a half hours) for which battery life is a major selling point. I’ll be blunt — this is the longest battery life I’ve ever seen from a laptop. It’s astonishing.
It's hard to follow what OP is trying to describe. They used LastPass to generate a password for their router but then accuse them of sniffing passwords?

> It's much easier to write such things in emacs than curating various different scripts in various languages (python, etc.) which all require their specific support which is either available or not.

I disagree. I’ve been using Unix/Linux for 25 years, I’ve met maybe 1 or two people who know or use Emacs, whereas almost everyone knows enough to do some scripting.

I’m also guessing that installing and configuring Emacs is way more work than installing Python. And any gained Python knowledge will pay you back tenfold more than learning Emacs.

The pole owner controls what is attached.. There may be pole attachment agreements you can review, but depending on the distance and complexity of the route and how many poles may need upgrades the costs still sound a bit high, but maybe they're all much taller poles. A pole itself costs $800 to start for a 32' delivered, but you need someone with a truck crane, which also requires a crane license to set it. Figure a few people at $25-35/hr as well to prep and repair the ground and you can see why it's a big cost.

I'm a fan of one touch make ready rules, but when you get to rural areas many of the poles are old, and to get the 18' clearance on a road span requires moving everyone else up, which may mean a new pole.
This is not universally true. In parts of California there was a jump in death rate reasonably close to a partial reopening. And has very slowly been trending downwards since they re-closed everything.

I think your intuition is about right: the IDE is going to squish all before it at the environments/runtimes it supports well, the vi(m) obsession with modal keyboard golf is a waste of time and org mode is a curious subcult of the the already weird (but, like, totally different from those vim heretics!) emacs cult.

Even default uBlock Origin breaks the site on desktop.
A few questions:

- Is your company mainly a software company?

- How much time do you spend on a week on maintaining your servers?

- How do you make sure that your servers are secure? Maybe you are being hacked every night, does your company have the means to check if there has been a security breach?

- Do you follow/apply the security patches for the OS you are using on the server and all the software you are using on the server?

- Do you have regular offline backups? What would happen if there is a fire in your offices?

These are some of the reasons to go for a cloud solution, especially when you are not a software company (hence you don't have many people who have the knowledge for setting up/maintaining such stuff) or when you don't have the resources to hire dedicated sysadmins.
For the record, I strongly think that Letsencrypt is another CIA/NSA gateway or more like a shell organisation. I would like to ask one simple question. Why would you do this service for free ?
Given that OP is a self-proclaimed "update hater", I guess the reason they don't get a 5 year commercial cert is cost? In that case whining online about it seems uncalled for.

Also from an architecture standpoint, the post seems to suggest that OP has certbot running on a variety of machines throughout his infrastructure. If you have many servers relying on letsencrypt, you probably want to centralize generating certificates somewhere, and have other machines pull from there.
Multiplication in Vedic Mathematics (2013)
I find that really ridiculous. Not you, but the fact that an OS needs to be upgraded because of some application level stuff that has to do with a protocol that is being run on some other server.

That's the kind of dependency snowball that we should work hard to avoid, not accept as some kind of new normality.

Servers should be able to live for years without re-imaging.
At least in my country, water and power are utilites and provided by the government or companies acting on behalf of the government. As long as I pay the bills, water and power can‘t be taken away from myself. I also myself make the rules for retrieving (which is callew law) power and water through election and vote.

An Apple login is handled by Apple. If they don‘t want to do business with you anymore, you‘re lost. They make the rules themself, there is basically not much you can do to appeal those rules directly. I can‘t do anything (well, court, but until then I‘m bankrupt) about it.

Many regulations have different rules for different types of entities (e.g. for profit vs non profit or by number of employees).
That's totally ridiculous, and if you're going to make such claims you really should provide at least a mechanism through which it could be exploited and some proof that it actually has been exploited.

> back to times when we used spacers or built table layouts with sliced images

Haha! Someone of roughly my own vintage I see...

I get what you're saying, but perhaps if you think about it in terms of sensory modalities it might help. There are images which convey a feeling purely through its aesthetic that are ruined to the point of uselessness by plain description in written language, a bit like having to explain a joke: "You see, the expectation is that the chicken crossing the road is going to be for a funny reason, like a pun, or something, but having set up that expectation the fact that you've subverted the expectation makes it funny."

Can't say I agree at all. The self-improvement crowd emphasize interest and small daily gains, not maximization of everything. Some people don't read to know everything, some read to know something. Which can be a lot.

I ran short distances (like my private road, or driveway crossings/private property runs under trees) with it. It has a reach of around 150-200' and is not suitable for a large project like mine that was 12-14k feet.

It's a great little drill, but I've also spent a fair amount on parts and pieces to keep it running. Nothing too expensive (except the rubber tracks, those are around $500 to replace, did one in 2019 and the other in 2020). I purchased a new locate wand as well, which was over 5k which works better with the beacon than the older one.

If you need to go a short distance it's a good tool, small enough i can move it with a F250.
