Not the author of the comment. There was a time when I was reading and trying to read many non-fiction books. After some time I started noticing that many of them are padded with mantras and useless fluff. Most of them would make great 20-page essays and nothing more.
I think you're giving engineers too much credit. I know a people who work at Palantir despite fully knowing what they do, and I know a lot of other engineers who, in 2020, would love to work there.
It was very surprising to see such a low number of Java users in different countries.
Better for what missions? Maybe had the air force had a single fighter plane, a lighter version of the F-15 would be ideal. But given that the lighter fighter role was to be filled by the YF-16 and YF-17 (today the F-16 and F-18), the F-15 was very well equipped and powered for the missions it would fill.

The F-4 was an impressive engineering achievement only in the sense that it was far overpowered to make up for it being under-winged. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the F-4 and "Happy Phantom" is my daughter's Stack Exchange handle. It is an amazing airplane. But it was as much dumb luck as it was engineering. And none of that is relevant to the role of the F-15 in the United States Air Force, and other air forces around the world.

The F-15 is not the F-35, which is meant to take the light-fighter and air superiority and ground attack and even recon roles. I do not think that a single plane can effectively take on all those roles. Even if the F-4 did!

Really? Are CI tools parsing the code and will detect that this.something is not defined here? I am presently surprised so let me know what tool does this.
Thanks for that feedback. I'm having to do a lot more writing for my job now so being able to improve my writing with honest feedback is super important.

I agree, I even cringed a little bit when I wrote it. But I didn't want to fully give everything away so it was just a bad edit :) Your suggestion would work a lot better.
It depends on what and how much one is learning from it. I once interviewed a guy for an ETL developer role. He was supporting an ETL application. In four years, all he had done was restart the application in case of any issues and it somehow worked for him. I've seen my fair share of such cases.
I'm well aware that VSCode as a tech product is also full of bloat internally, the difference is that this bloat is mostly hidden to the user. What they have going for them is that it's a well designed text editor with sensible defaults in the first place, it "just works" and it's simple, that's also why it's so popular. You can add as much (or as little) as you want on top of it.
To me they're more technical than not. I've worked at VK for 5 years, so I think I know a thing or two about building a competitive, easy to use, and user-respecting social media service. It's also somewhat of a curse because I keep seeing all the flaws other fediverse projects have but refuse to address.
IMO that's more an issue with (customer) WiFi, than the device itself. WiFi is the very last place where people living together have to share one common secret for their security, and that's pretty ridiculous. At least with WPA3 we get perfect forward secrecy even with shared password...

What is the use case for this? Usually it's to keep people from using their own devices the way they want. That's not good.
This is absolutely crazy.
We also pay taxes in Europe.

An engineer's pre-tax salary in Europe would be like 20-60k euros in the South/East and 30-80k in the North.

The USA just has a lot more capital in tech so the demand for labor is a lot more robust. Europe has decent engineers but it's hard to command a high wage when there are a lot less companies competing for you and they have less capital to be able to pay you with.
I love the original X-com and take it for a spin every few years.

By far the greatest thing original X-com had was the sense of mystery and dread of the unknown on your first playthrough. You didn't know what lies ahead, you didn't know what technologies to research, and how to do what. New aliens were catching you by surprise all the time, and Chrysalids, god, they were so so scary. When I got to flying armor my guys never walked again, just because of these guys.

I actually even liked the immediate sequel, because it added difficulty and stuff. If only it wasn't this last alien syndrome...

The reboot was a letdown for me. Underground base-hive was gorgeous, but I lacked the freedom of roaming the globe and sending patrol aircraft in different directions, locating bases that I knew were somewhere out there... It felt like I'm railroaded on a fixed path, instead of slowly finding out the clues on my own.

The second X-Com 2 was a step better for me, and I liked the feeling of being a scrappy resistance fighter, and all resource and time constraints made a lot more sense in that context. I actually managed to beat X-Com 2 in Ironman mode on Commander difficulty without losing any soldier, and THAT was a major feat, I tell you. Ironman adds a lot to the game, you can't savescum from a risky missed shot, and actually start to be really afraid for your guys.
I know what Reader is, but my point still stands.
As long as the standard meat comes from factories with horrific conditions, it is laughable to start with trained monkeys.
Our on-call system gives everyone an allowance per service plus additional time off if you're on-call on weekends and public holidays. You get both regardless of whether you get paged. Getting paid to do nothing is a great incentive for pushing quality, especially when you're on-call for more than one service in a given week.

Completely agree. For me the upbeat music really made the atmosphere of the original Colonization, and the later remake (based on Civ 4?) with its more downbeat soundtrack was much less enjoyable.

> I generally tend to think that an attacker with hardware access will compromise that hardware sooner or later, and you should design your security measures around that assumption.

There are two types of hardware attackers. Those who have home tools and those who have access to lab equipment. Unless you're designing a smartcard, you're only going to have the budget to protect against the former.
I share the sentiment with IntelliJ and I'll never understand the crackheads who use VSCode/Sublime/Atom for strongly-typed languages instead of a proper IDE like Netbeans/IntelliJ/VS.

It's absolute pain to write Rust/Java/C++ in any of those. No safe refactorings (moving classes? good luck), completely random code completion, 0 awares of available libs/SDKs, and so on.

It would seem that most of the developers have no clue what's the difference between a lightweight editor and a full-featured IDE. I think it's just Dunning–Kruger effect on a scale.

I understand that I'll be voted down into oblivion but it really rubs me the wrong way when people confuse some kind of server/application server (???) integrations with an IDE that can offer sophisticated refactorings, a proper type inference, and can infer which functions from which lib/SDK I am using.
As much as I like smaller and faster editors like VS-Code, in case of Java and C#, I wouldn't survive a day without IntelliJ/Rider.

* Better refactoring

* Better linting and code cleanup; Most of the time I learn new language features from the IDE linting

* Awesome diff/merge tool; Not just for git but for local history (undo/redo)

* Debugging/running multiple projects at once is also nice

* Better dynamic language support; Easier to use on a large wild Javascript codebase

I'm not sure you're aware, but this video has massively sped up the original recordings. It seems irregularly, too, like humans walking are only sped up about 2x, while the machines themselves more like 4x. Of course they had to cut the sound. I saw some (presumed) original recordings a while ago, and found the machines impressive, there was no need to speed it up.
Product Marketing Manager, SaaS – Job Opportunity
I know you can't infer it from my post, but I'm totally on the side that pretty much no device should have secrets to protect, and the vast majority of secure boot features are anti-consumer.

NASA outlines plan for first woman on Moon by 2024
For anybody who will again try to argue that he helped hacking and therefore all mistreatment of him is excusable, considering the actual US charges, apparently:

"just one of the 18 charges relate to computer intrusion and it carries just 5 years' jail, compared to the 175 years Assange faces if the maximum sentence was awarded."

The case is then clearly about 170 years worth of charges, not about hacking (the rest 5 years). And these charges are all the "Espionage Act" charges for a non-US person doing obviously a journalistic work outside of the US.

Independently of that, in the article is, among other topics, a described testimony about the chronology of how the unredacted documents became public and a reference to the article:

https://shadowproof.com/2020/09/21/trump-schwartz-grenell-wi...

Which (a bit chaotically) describes the testimony of Cassandra Fairbanks about what she knows happened in or around White House related to Assange. Interestingly:

"The prosecution did not object to the truth of the matter asserted — that Trump officials were directly involved in plans against Assange."
Not to mention this is something for which AWS already has all the data. They should just be providing this diagram as a free part of the AWS experience.

It's fair to say that, going further back in computer game history, something being possible didn't mean it was possible for you.

Programming expertise and information was a lot less accessible and evenly distributed.

You couldn't just "hire a graphics person", because no one knew what the hell that was. You hired a smart computer person / artist, and hoped they could learn everything. One reason the history of early games companies has so much "and then we hired this person named X, who had no training, but turned into one of the world's best Y's."

Best Tips for Designing Successful Automated Emails
You have a compiled contact database, but you are not using it? This may be due to the lack of automation of any workflows. The incorrectly chosen marketing campaign can rob you of opportunities to connect with customers and increase sales.

If you properly set up and automate your marketing, you will be able to increase sales by 14.5%. The right email marketing software will help with this.

Campaigns aimed at engaging new audience are not the only way to automate your marketing processes. You can interact with the base of contacts who are already your customers. By automating email newsletters, you will be able to turn potential customers into real ones. You can also encourage your target audience to make additional purchases, explore new products and receive up-to-date product information.

Build Out Your Visual Brand

With email marketing software, you will be able to customize your message designs to make your emails stand out from others. Use your logo and other images that are relevant to your company and place them in a way that makes them stand out. For this, use headlines of emails, so that brand awareness will be much higher.

Choose a unique colour palette and font. It is best if the letter design matches the design of your website. Notifications generated by email blaster should inform about new product arrivals with bright images.
Managing infrastructure using Ansible Tower

It is an old project, setting up a strict automated CI would just block us until we fix all warnings or disable them. With a good IDE you can spot the issue int the location you work, you say change most of the "var" to "let" and "const" but you can ignore the ones that are not related with the thing you are working on. With an automated thing you either fix all at once or you have to set ignore rules or write ignore statements int he code.

I would be interested to read more on how to add such a strict CI to an existing project.

> Fossnode aims to be a curated network of the best open source communities that love Matrix in one place.

Curated is a dangerous word.

I believe you meant self-curating, IE people and groups who are self-selecting and choose to be on your server.

But curated can also mean that their is some gatekeeper(s) than chooses which projects are "worthy." IE: wikipedia is curated, I cannot create (and not have deleted) a wiki article about my dog because it isn't worthy, despite him being the best thing in the world to me.

If it is the latter, that needs to be made super clear up front, especially the criteria.
> Giving your HW for somebody else to operate, while hoping that this person won't recover secrets from the inside. [...] is a trust issue, and I would avoid those situations anyway.

I hate DRM with a passion, but the same problem is always my concern. If I lost my smartcard (or USB dongle) that stores an OpenPGP private key in a hotel - yes, everything is possible with physical attack, and I should use an extra PIN to symmetrically encrypt the key material on the card anyway - But still, if the attacker decides to extract anything from the card, I'd like to find a way that forces the attacker to pay the maximum price.

An inexpensive security chip can bill the attacker an extra $1000. If the attacker must decap the chip and use some semiconductor test equipment, it's even better.

However, there's a small problem - while forcing the attacker to pay, say $1000, to develop the attack is easy, but it's difficult to guarantee the cost per attack will remain the same - if a noninvasive attack has ever been found (e.g. fault injection), the marginal cost of new attacks becomes essentially zero. And unlike software, the smartcard is useless at this point, and it cannot be patched. If it's a FOSS hardware design, everyone is now vulnerable. Worse, it doesn't help that these attacks are rarely published - before you start using it, you have no idea how secure it really is, and after you start using it, you have no idea how vulnerable it has become. Solution? Use the latest security chip and upgrade your smartcard to a new design frequently. Unfortunately, the secure chip industry is basically owned by the DRM/financial companies, and the best chips are behind layers and layers of NDA, and even then, they're often only sold to a restricted list of consumers. It protects them, not us...
The limited number of turns in Frozen Synapse make more sense than in XCom 2. Mostly because Frozen Synapse is actually a multiplayer game.

Also compare the 'turn limits' in Into the Breach that are very well done: you have to hold out for four turns in all missions.
You have to call bullshit in those numbers.

Take a country with good surveillance and reliable death statistics. NZ and/or Australia will fit the bill.

The case fatality rate there is a touch above 3%, mostly in aged care deaths, but with enough in the lower age groups to give anyone who has a comorbidity and is above 40 a quickening of the pulse (854 deaths, 26,942 cases, positive test % has never breached 1% and generally been under half a % so incidence is likely to be close to reported cases).

US CFR at reported numbers isn’t far off 3% and if you take the Excess deaths figures that suggest there has already been more like 250,000 deaths, along with the missed cases, you’re probably closer to the mark.
Even if spread is confined tightly to younger age groups with lower death rates, there can be no serious person who believes close to 60m Americans have either previously or Are currently Infected.

Spring MVC and Boot are not the same thing.

Spring Boot is a "convention over configuration" framework for modern 12-factor apps. It integrates the other Spring libraries (like MVC) by providing "starters" that come with a basic configuration. For instance, adding the Spring Security starter package automatically configures Basic Authentication for all endpoints.

Spring MVC is the Servlet-based web library, it includes functionality for serving HTTP endpoints as well as an HTTP client.

This is in contrast to Spring Webflux which is the new reactive web library. It also includes server and client functionality.

Neither are required in a Spring Boot app though.
When I see "VICE" it triggers a kind of synesthesia and I smell garbage.

I think the issue is more how snappy/bloated they are. I don't mind all the integrated features, but IntelliJ has gotten slower and slower over the years, and its starting to get annoying, especially on anemic laptops.
> Wonder how much we think of Roman Emperors comes from the writing and propaganda of their contemporary elites.

Almost all of it. Most of the time, all we have to go off are the Roman historians, which are notoriously extremely biased. You learn pretty quickly in any Classical Studies program to unlearn a lot of the preconceptions about Rome and its history that are embedded in modern culture.

It's India - if it exists, it's holy. Holy cow, holy monkey, holy (cow) shit, holy elephants, holy snakes, holy rats, holy rock formations, holy wells, whatever.

Incidentally my aunt's home is located right next to a snake shrine of old (yes, they give offerings to snakes, mostly cobras, there), even though the area is predominantly resided by Muslims. On the other hand, there is a Hindu temple in another district dedicated to the worship of a Robinhood-esque thief who was a Muslim - and the offerings are mostly alcohol (and previously weed).

> No safe refactorings (moving classes? good luck), completely random code completion, 0 awares of available libs/SDKs, and so on.

Seems like you haven't used VSCode in a long time. It is my primary everyday editor for Typescript, and it has all of those things you listed: I can move a class to a separate file in one click, code completion always follows type system, it is aware of all packages that I have in package.json and offers to import them, and so on.

The IDE/editor distinction really doesn't have as much meaning as it once did.

The differences WRT kernel between various Linux distributions are likely not significant enough to matter for the overwhelming majority of users.

Unless you have "non-typical requirements", pretty much any of them will almost certainly be "good enough".

(Personally, my preferences are OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and OPNsense, in that order, but I'm weird. If I had to choose something built on Linux, OpenWRT would probably be the one that I'd reach for "by default".)
