I don't think the concern is whether an operation is called "and" or "&". They are both symbols with unambiguous semantics in the language. Dijkstra is ranting against the idea of programming using natural languages, with all the redundancies and ambiguities this entails.

Perl was actually designed to be closer to the nature of natural languages (despite its reputation as "executable line noise"), and Python was in many ways a reaction against this, by a having less ambiguities and implicit context. "Explicit is better than implicit".

I think Perl and AppleScript were valuable experiments in having programming languages closer to natural language. And what we learnt from the experiment was that we absolutely does not want that.
> And the fallacy you are making is describing adding more shit sauce on top as "a layered defense". A layered defense is when you take multiple, individually sane steps, with well defined boundaries to reduce risks that remain despite following good engineering practice. Some aspects of WAF may fit this bill, but SQL Injection defence assuredly does not.

I haven't commented about how effective WAF is or if you should use it or not, so you're on a soapbox attacking a strawman here.

> It's real easy not to have SQL injection exploits, you inform people that using anything apart from prepared statements to talk to the DB is a firing offence.

I think relying on nobody to make mistakes (because you tried to scare them not to or otherwise) is awful advice in general. Even frameworks you rely on to create safe SQL queries can have exploits as well so you need to consider human error at several layers.

Expect human error and plan your processes around it.

> find a job where you care about the company and product

I'm an average person. I'm not qualified for those roles. I make websites in WordPress and I now hate the process of writing code of any flavour with such passion I'll take anything else that pays more. I don't have the capacity to learn some new thing on the off chance I go work somewhere that isn't just the same old.

Also I now work for a small indie company for the very reason of having more responsibility and purpose. You know what that led to recently? I moved all our kit to managed hosting in case I went through with offing myself.

It's burnout, not a bad day. I'd love to just take some time off all willy nillily as you say but that would result in a performance improvement plan and an eventual firing, which I can't afford right now.

I'd fucking love to go back to Sysadmin work but I've been out so long everything's gone cloudy - again, not qualified.

All these excuses and more in your nearest person with burnout :)
I'm 34 and I just dodged a bullet. I was very close to burnout at the start of this year so I just quit. I've been doing small freelance projects and trainings since than and my stress levels dropped off a cliff. I work half as much for 80% pay.

If you feel that burnout is encroaching on you just quit and find something else to do.
I will just share my experience with a usb stick.

I have used a usb stick (SanDisk Ultra Fit) for the Freenas O.S.. That drive died in 6 months (24/7). In general Freenas suggests to use 2 mirrored, quality, name-brand USB drives as they can `wear out or fail unexpectedly`[1]. They not suggest USB drives for data storage and I never tried.

Yeah and in essence, just because the thing can communicate with you, doesn't mean it understands you.

Especially when you consider all you have to do is follow a "translation layer" to repeat steps to produce an output, then it doesn't mean anything is understood. Just a "thing" that can follow steps consistently to produce a result.

It is quite an interesting concept when considering at what extent is there anything actually translated in any system that is understood or just an interface to reproducing an algorithm based on some consistent logic?

Fun stuff to me.

Google uses a config language called Borg Config Language (BCL). It is an extension of GCL (https://research.tue.nl/en/studentTheses/gcl-viewer ). GCL was built with ideas from natural language programming. It is extremely difficult to learn and use. Errors are very easy to make and hard to detect. Maintainability is poor.

Some lessons are still unlearned after 40 years.

EU seeks new powers to penalise tech giants
Yes, and it happens when there are no apparent viable alternatives, when there are alternatives such as The Grayzone, TJDS, Chris Hedges, Ralph Nader but they are buried, undiscoverable, inaccessible, and/or banished from the mainstream for going against nationalist fervor.

So, it's much easier for people to make up an imaginary bogeyman or "they" that they don't have to and can't do anything about because it psychologically excuses them from internal locus-of-control and taking the initiative against powerful forces who would likely crush them, i.e., Assange, Manning, or activists and reporters in Mexico or Russia. Conspiracy theories also give people a chance to tribally bond over some "secret, forbidden knowledge" when their lives are otherwise so entirely horrible and devoid of a sense of community.
Your argument would apply equally well to a book. A book is nothing but a sequence of symbols chosen from a small finite set. Therefore a book is actually a recipe for recreating itself because the book tells you exactly how to arrange it's symbols in order to recreate it. Hence applying your reasoning it follows that a book is not copyrightable. But we all know that books are copyrightable, so your argument must be flawed.

Samsung Evo+ cards with the same speed rating (say U1) and model number can vary in performance quite a bit. I have tried three of them on my rpi4, and found one which was considerably faster than the others. To be sure I verified it with crystaldiskmark and indeed, it was up to 2x faster in writes and reads.

Samsung cards tend to outperform other brands in that price range.
Totally get this from a business perspective but speaking for myself, I was actually far more interested in seeing the new chip in the iPad. I have no doubt that the iPhone 12 will be another confident black rectangle. Having usb c and the stronger processor work its way down the price points was far more exciting of an announcement for me. I don’t really ever find myself yearning for a stronger CPU on my iPhone XR but if Apple is serious about replacing PCs with iPads, it seems like having strong chips in their cheaper models is a great position to fight from.
You joined as an engineer, not a manager. Why are you asking people how you can help with their challenges when it’s very unlikely you have the power to do so? I’d find this entire email process very bizarre, demanding and power-seeking (you want me to tell you who the bigshots are so you can meet them and what you should do to get promoted, and you’re pretending it’s for my benefit? Who are you trying to kid?). I’d certainly end up with a very negative view of you. Just so you know.
I do that too but it’s a noticeable overhead, I guess it wouldn’t be great for mass-testing scenarios.
IIRC the thinking is that you need less intestine if your food is cooked. So less internal upkeep costs, less internal risk of stuff getting stuck, infected, etc.

You're also less likely to catch a parasite if you cook stuff, that would be a caloric catastrophe.

Also cooking stuff allows you to share costs with other people. One big fire for everyone, nobody needs their own extra capacity.
Move to a different team/company. Assuming you can get a job at Amazon, you can get a job at any other FAANG. FB and Google tend to be less mental with respect to work-life balance, which should allow you to spend more time with your family.

I am now convinced that Microsoft is purposefully degrading the quality of the cryptography at the behest of the NSA.

It would take a lot to convince me that my position is false.

Think about what that would take: You'd have to explain to me, at length, that no-no-no, Microsoft cares deeply about the security of their customers, they hire professional cryptographers, and that they keep up with the best practices in ciphers, protocols, and configuration defaults.

So let us see what kind of uphill battle that would be:

In 2020, Microsoft products have all of the following current cryptographic problems.

- There is no support for TLS 1.3, either on the server or client.

- HSTS is very hit & miss, with only Windows Server 2019 adding partial support here and there.

- Until very recently, you'd have to jump through hoops to enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2. The operating system had the capability for years, but... Microsoft chose not to enable it. Explain that one without resorting to: "This helps the NSA hack everyone that doesn't know what they are doing."

- Across a forest trust, RC4 is the default cipher.

- If you try to enforce AES ciphers for Active Directory, you'll break some forms of single-sign-on from Azure AD!

- If you use ECC certificates, you're stuck with the handful of now very thoroughly legacy curves. Don't even dream of support for elegant, modern, secure ciphers like Curve25519!

- Keep in mind that Microsoft first implemented ECC ciphers and the associated "modern" Key Storage Provider (KSP) in 2006 for Vista. So you would think that only 2003-era software would still require the legacy CryptoAPI system, right... right? You'd be wrong: Notably, you can't have elliptic curve certificates with: NDES, AD FS, SQL Server, SCCM until very recently, and in fact just about every Microsoft product except for IIS. Which I remind you still can't do TLS 1.3. In Windows Server v2004.

- Azure Key Vault can't issue anything but RSA certificates from third-party CAs.

- Azure's disk encryption similarly refuses to use ECC, and has to use RSA for disk encryption.

- You can't get free certificates in Azure from Let's Encrypt or Microsoft themselves. Because a 1KB file in 2020 should still cost $50 a year, am I right? Otherwise how would VeriSign make their billions!?

- Certificate Services has had nearly zero new features in like a decade. Microsoft could have revamped the web interface, added certificate transparency support, SQL Server database support, PowerShell commands that... do... things, or anything really. Anything at all.

- There's no replacement for AD CS for that matter. It's clearly legacy, but Azure AD or Intune have no replacement. Enjoy your 2000-era interfaces and methodologies. You seriously have to write an INI file and put it into C:\Windows before installation to configure it!
Apple states that:

> two high performance A13 cores are 20% faster with 30% lower power consumption than the Apple A12's, and the four high efficiency cores are 20% faster with 40% lower power consumption than the A12's. A13's eight-core Neural Engine dedicated neural network hardware is 20% faster and consumes 15% lower power than the A12's

> A14 up to 40% faster than A12, with 30% faster graphics performance than A12, and machine-learning performance is up to 10 times faster.
> The older I get the less it matters to me what other people think of me, which is liberating. When I was younger, people's impression of me was my problem. Now that I'm older, people's impression of me is their problem.

Same here. But to be fair, when I was younger, my future was uncertain. I wasn't sure what will happen 10 years later. Will I get a good job? Will I have a good relationship? Which skills will I gain, and which weaknesses will remain forever? With this much uncertainly, of course I was sensitive about other people's feedback -- even if in hindsight a lot of it was stupid.

Now... of course, anything can happen, and life can always change dramatically overnight... but I expect the following years to be mostly more of the same. And when people tell me what they think about me, I have more data about myself to judge whether their opinion makes sense. I also learned to recognize friends and avoid the rest of the world.

So it's not just me becoming wiser in this aspect; it's that my situation has actually changed to make this one aspect much easier.

> why you would chose Tomato over dd-wrt or openwrt

As far as I know the choice is constrained by the SoC in the device you have (or are planning to get): generally, Tomato has better support for Broadcom devices, and OpenWRT works better on Atheros. DD-WRT should be more balanced in this aspect. (And predictably, open-source support for MediaTek devices is the most patchy.)

I haven't really used Tomato. Between DD-WRT and OpenWRT, the former is arguably easier to set up (through the GUI), while the latter can offer more functionality (with no hardcoded settings and a huge repository of installable packages). OpenWRT has higher memory and storage requirements though.
Sometimes we get posts that just tickle the curiousity. I like that.

I think trying to find the meaning of Alu through etymology alone is strenuous. I’ve studied rituals from India, especially the timeline from Vedic to medieval times. The ritual is usually passed down through priests or in some lineages through gurus. If they die, a lot of the culture and knowledge dies with it.
If you read the Vedas and then you see a vedic ritual, you just know how much difference there is between the dry words and the actions that infuse and inspire.

That said, Alu might be something along the lines of Soma, which in Vedic ritual is an intoxicating beverage to meet the gods.
Sometimes having a tool prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot is kinder.

But it's more than that, a good build system does not need to be Turing complete, and having Turing completeness imposes certain requirements on it that may make it inherently slower.

Airbags are not very low-cost in the context of cars but sure why not? Another low cost item is a mask and social distancing and there is a serious backslash to those too because "It's just a flu, [theGroupYouHate] is fear-mongering". I don't think that the issue is about balancing the costs and benefits here but as I said, it is possible to misuse the resources and have expensive solutions that don't solve anything.

Therefore, worrying is the force making you look for the solution but it's not a solution by itself.

I also think the same should apply to social gatherings and meetings because the point of being with others hinges on attention. (Otherwise, it could've been done over email.)

Same here, and I run the same set of migrations that run in production. To he clear, this is only done once per test session, not for individual tests, and the tests are written in such a way that they don't interfere with each other.

The overhead is actually pretty small, less than 10s. I'd saw too much for unit tests, but we'll within the tolerable range for integration/functional tests. Compared with the time I'd spend hacking together some brittle and unrealistic in-memory alternative, I much prefer to use a real database.

We tend to be biased towards those we identify with and against those we disagree with, and this will color how we receive and interpret facts themselves, nevermimd simple opinion

Ongoimg anti-racist riots for example: are they a long overdue correction to a deeply flawed and misguided nation that oppresses a large fraction of its own citizens? Or are they a symptom of post-modernist moral relativism run amok, whereby political leaders have abandoned their responsibility to maintain public safety and order? Or perhaps they are a minor local dust up, blown out of proportion by a greedy, cynical media? Perhaps some combination of those?

If one skews left, one will be inclined to dismiss the concerns of the right as unreasonable, perhaps even hypocritical. Do that habitually enough, and conservatives will come off as entirely out of touch; and so will you, to them.

I recommend really striving to understand the point of view of your political opponents, not by reading leftist think-pieces about what the right thinks for example, but reading reasonable presentations of conservative arguments. So, more National Review and less Breitbart, for example. Less focus on "qanon pedo-pizza" who are the black block anarchists of the right, and more on people who makes sense even if you ultimately disagree.

ECS is definitly OOP, just not for those that don't bother reading SIGPLAN papers from the 80 and 90's and the multitude of approaches to OOP and the object, prototype or component based variants thereof, and are stuck with the concept that OOP == Smalltalk-80 as they learned C++ OOP from some C with Classes book.

I guess I need to find some time to prove my point, port ECS examples to Objective-C, Eiffel and CLOS, and provide links to some of those papers as well.
