Help I’ve Been Hacked
It’s been confirmed because not only did he hack my computer he also manage to hack my iOS device in which I went to the store and basically had to get a new phone new Sim card new everything because he managed to get into my iCloud and do a bunch of corrupt stuff.

Now I’ve been dealing with this person for almost a month now because I didn’t really take it too serious until he managed to mess up my administrative privileges on my only account I have on my laptop in which I have no idea how he was able to disable what I can and cannot do. He also managed to disable my Windows defender I have no idea how to even open it because it doesn’t open it when I click it I can’t even back up my computer and restart it because the disk or hard drive has been messed with. And now I can’t even go online because my Google Chrome doesn’t work my Internet explorer is nowhere to be found and my fire fox is gone please someone help me I can give you my contact info so you can walk me through.

By the way I cannot confirm I know who this is but my gut tells me it’s this guy that I had a fling with for three weeks that has a heroin and meth addiction and a sketchy as fuck I tried going to authorities after my phone incident but since he technically didn’t compromise any bank account or steal any money I can’t really do anything to move forward with that until he does he’s been mentally fucking me for the past month
How relevant is architecture for someone like me - a 5-10 years of experience dev who has worked in non-managerial developer positions in small teams.

When I look at architecture patterns I feel so much of it is aimed at enormous projects, in which case I think you need actual experience of working in an enormous project alongside others from whom you can learn rather than just reading it from a book.

And there's so much difference between them.. which is the "right" one? Is Robert C. Martin's "Clean Architecture" approach right in condition X, or some other approach in condition Y?

Somehow what you were saying reminded me of reading The Onion.

You know, where they have those opinion pieces always with the same 6 photos (but a different name & occupation) each spouting something humorous?

and curiously there is some truth at the hidden within each onion article.
From a linked resource:

> Eventually, I moved out and the FTP server went down for good—and more efficient replacements emerged anyway, like BitTorrent, and more legal ones, like Spotify and Tidal

Since the author set up his own FTP server I am surprised that he compared music streaming and not intrinsically illegal p2p with a file server.

For users that is a severe degradation in quality of service in my opinion. That actually says a lot about the current internet economy.
This resembles me "tactics" of many book selling sites. They keep in their catalog books which they don't have on stock just to get traffic. User arrives and see that a given book is not available. Really annoying.
they also build spacecraft and launch systems, so yeah.

The problem is it's a nonsense. We 100% do get taught grammatical terms in the UK, but GP has just forgotten them/wasn't paying attention in school.
Citing the article: "In the near term – a timescale that matters enormously to climate change – the only way to decarbonise aviation is to fly less. As an option, that seemed plumb absurd until this year, when we were forced to learn how to live without planes."

If we've learned one thing this year it is that we can totally do a lot of things if we take a crisis seriously.
Privacy is about control and power over your own existence and choices—just that its impact is usually long-term and most profound on a societal level but it starts at the most trivial aspects of life, like being able to sleep in safe, quiet place without any fear. So if data aggregation about you is automated, you still lose that control.

When an employer, for instance, is able to request data aggregation services for a break down about your entire life without or with forced consent from you, or able to monitor and analyze every step of yours during working hours, it's dehumanizing.

Similarly, it doesn't matter whether those with access to data regarding you have only good intentions. It may be pleasing to have a store know everything you like and need right in the moment, you still should be able to walk in and out (pseudo-)anonymously when you wish to.

Same with the state. We say not to talk to the police. In trials the determination what evidence can be submitted is always an important step. So why should the police, prosecution, intelligence agencies, or any other entity be able to access or collect data about you and evaluate it without due process?
import numpy as np

def f(x:numpy.array):
pass

Since numpy doesn’t exist in my namespace I get a runtime error (NameError) for a part of my code that supposedly isn’t used.

I just feel like this should throw errors when running mypy and not when running my script.
Maybe qualifying it helps: Nobody is going to reasonably suffer from not being able to take the plane to go on a vacation.
I would be OK with them only advertising one flight or less, I expect that in the current climate there will be reduced flights. I have issues with them deliberately selling tickets on flights that they know will never happen. I think that approach is pretty much a scam.

Then you are doing it wrong. Where does one catch pneumonia from driving in the cold?
Yes, that's very important but it is also important to remember that this was in a particular context and that the "pick a design and just build it" approach only works when you have a design (however imperfect) that is going to work.

First, the context. Rickover needed to get a reactor designed, series built, and operated right away. In that context, he was absolutely right.

Second, the PWR design works and it works very well for submarines. I don't know that there has been a better design concept for submarines (the USSR built a few liquid metal cooled reactors which caused them lots of problems). When you have a basic design that does work, then going ahead and building it is the right thing to do.

We can see the consequences of what that approach does to earlier stage research programmes as well because some of Rickover's people were put in charge of Argonne's reactor research programme which they did not understand and where they caused an immense amount of trouble by trying to duplicate this approach in a context where the basic approach had not been definitively decided. This lead, for instance, to spending an enormous amount of money and time pursuing an oxide fuel fast reactor concept despite being warned that there were fundamental problems with that design and that spending more time up front on metal fuel design work would be a better idea. They didn't want to hear it - oxide fuel works (which it does - in thermal PWR and BWR reactors) - so go with that and just build it.

Rickover was right of course about the principle of understanding technological predictions in the context of what we would now call Technological Readiness Levels and optimism bias but in understanding this we also have to keep in mind the other side of the coin which is not to entirely commit to premature optimisation.
How much of the aviation industry is cargo vs passengers anyway?
Not a bad way to see it IMHO.
So you made me curious and I did the following test:

- I configured the 7200 as main speaker and played a youtube video in which someone was contineously talking.

- I measured the distance to the 7200, which is next to my keyboard, and it was almost 2ft away from my mouth (standing desk).

- Then I opened Quicktime to make an audio recording using the 7200 as input device, talking while the youtube video was running.

The result: I could only hear myself on the recording. Even while I was talking, or making other sounds, I didn't hear the video at all.

So yes, I think it's full duplex. And no echos.
To be fair overfishing is not just about locals; there are mother ships also, floating factories that visit areas with the support of a satellite fleet, fill the ship hull and then return to their country. Every country does it. China does it, and Spain also. There are treatises between two countries that regulate number of captures and periods allowed, so if both countries benefit there and the fisheries are scientifically managed shouldn't be a big problem.

The problem is that sometimes people fish under fake flags and sometimes there are also pirate fishing, turning off radio beacons and entering in protected areas at night. The sum of all factors, (legal locals, legal foreign and illegals) results in a overfishing problem that is always complicated to correct and if possible it takes ages to recover because the ecosystems just shrug and move on.

For example NW Atlantic cod collapsed in 1990 in US and Canada. Thirty years passed and the ecosystem achieved to reach a new stable situation, one without cods. It probably will never recover.
Immersion requires you to speak, not just listen, and that was key with my second French teacher. Everyone spoke words, and soon sentences in French from day one, even if at first it was badly broken and little more than parroting things back. She kept track - nobody got away without participating. Every lesson. Towards the end of a year of that we went to Paris for a week and spent 5-6 hours every day going out and stopping strangers to have conversations with them about various subjects.

The structure meant both that we were forced to try and that the teacher knew at any point how we were doing.
One of the advantages with the MIT superconducting magnet design is that it allows the vacuum vessel and neutron shielding to be lifted out and replaced wholesale (n.b. this doesn't have to be every 5 years but it does have be done at some point during the reactor lifetime). The ITER design would require essentially disassembling the whole reactor to do that. In both cases, the neutron absorbing first wall will be replaced every 5 years or so which is indeed a substantial challenge requiring robotic operations.
Every authoritarian and totalitarian regime that ever existed agrees with you.

I heard that people used to use the Bible for this purpose. I pulled this trick with The Hobbit.

Be wary though, not all translations are created equal, there might be errors or divergences.

I remember the Russian version translated "I will go so far as to send you on this adventure" incorrectly as "I went all this way because of you" or some such. (And a number of other blunders of this sort.)

Also one of the Stephenson's Baroque Cycle books had "men-of-war" translated to Czech as literally "warriors".

It's a good approach overall though.
Plastic will often last longer than copper in water. Often water is mildly corrosive to copper and so copper will wear out in 100 year while plastic will still be fine.

What will wear out in your new toilet is the rubber seals. Same as the old one.
One of the cloth shopping bags I use was inherited from my grandpa, 24 years ago. I'm not joking, it's a sturdy cotton canvas bag that has lasted perhaps 30 years of shopping at this point. Another bag I've had since 2009, which I know because I got it from a nutrition experiment I participated in.

They get washed once in a while when they inevitably get dirty and I can repair them quite easily if a stitch finally fails or they get tears, which hasn't happened yet.

People need to keep and use what they already have instead of lazily buying more new stuff all the time.
> Cutting one's emissions by half is most likely not easy at all

It is very easy if you travel by plane several times per year, even on short distances, and you just stop to do that. In fact, it is probably the most effective thing you can do to reduce your own lifetime carbon footprint. A single two-hour flight produces around 400 kilograms of CO2 per person. This is equivalent to several months of heating in a cold country.

And don't start me harping about "offsetting" carbon emissions. Carbon has been captured in the course of hundreds of millions of years. There is nothing humans can do which can store it again for the same time. Almost all carbon from a tree is released when the tree dies.

In fact, it is even worse for coal. The coal deposits which we still exploit today, against all better knowledge, have mostly been formed during the carboniferous geological period. In this period, there were NO bacteria and fungi which could decompose lignin, the main structural component of wood. In other words, the wood from trees could not decay, which was the base for the coal deposits from the carboniferous period, which still form most of the coal today. The consequence of this is that burning coal is irreversible even in the course of tens of thousands of years, because the conditions under which this coal has been formed - an absence of fungi that can decompose lignin - simply do not exist any more. We are not only doing massive damage to the next generations of human children, but we are profoundly and irreversibly changing the conditions for life on Earth.
If you actually calculate your pay per amount of work and I mean just taking the official time - 37 hours /week and vacations, you'll actually get to similar numbers as your private sector colleagues. So the basic question is not whether you'd accept a lower pay, but whether you'd accept working less. Then you can add as bonuses the increased flexibility and less stress... Is there a difference in job stability between private and public jobs?
I already know some who did suffer (perhaps unreasonably but that's in the end irrelevant).

Are you denying there's a networking benefit to attending an Ivy League school? I don't have the article I was thinking of handy, but this source (0) seems to say the main advantages are networking and status.

I strongly recommend watching this[1] video about flat-earth belief. It starts with a very impressive direct observation of the curvature, but that's not really the point since flat earth is not a belief based on facts and logic. The video follows the actual history of modern flat earth belief and how it is currently acting as a "gateway drug" into QAnon! (I'm oversimplifying a LOT for brevity)

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44

(re: [1] - This is yet another example of algorithmic stupidity: YouTube decided to provide "context" (from wikipedia) about "flat earth" on a video that experimentally disproves the concept. -sigh-)

Airtable is basically more like an online version of MS Access/dBase/FoxPro, database + forms/presentation. So it's very customizable and you can essentially roll your own project management app, or CRM or whatever you can think of.
It looks great. I personally have nothing against HTML UIs other than electron's excessive resource usage. My primary complaint is that chrome's engine was never meant to be used once per application. Sciter fixes that.
I really really strongly disagree. I'll admit it's a personal thing - I know of some people who can only learn a language by memorizing all of its rules (typically people who have gone through their education based on rote memorisation as well), but I have yet to see a 5 year old who knows anything of the 'formal' rules of the grammar of their language, yet getting to the level of a 5 year old native is already a huge accomplishment for most people who only learn a second language when they are an adult.

I think most people would be best served learning a language by not learning about any grammar 'rules' at all (maybe some simplified rules of thumb here and there for illustration and anchoring of skills - I'm not saying everyone should have to build their own grammar mental models from scratch through osmosis, but they should be introduced after a basic level of competence with the construct, not up front). As is remarked above - I'm sure this is a convenient way of teaching, because you can just tick off boxes of discrete 'components' ('does my student know the rules to conjugate in this and this past tense? check!), but there is a weak correlation to actually being able to use the language.

I learned most of my language skills in both English and French by listening to rap music, transcribing it, translating into Dutch (my native language), repeating it and mimicking pronunciation etc. If anything, having to learn the grammar rules made the actual language acquisition harder. My best French teacher was one who, after asking in desperation 'how can I get you boys to be interested in learning French?' and me (mockingly) suggesting we analyse some MC Solaar CD's, then actually went out and got some of those, and contacted her Parisien neice to give us some of the backstory on the slang used in them, too.

Then again, I'm bitter about many of the traditional teaching methods and I have no proof my anecdote scales to the general population, so my opinion is worth about as much as... well, something that's pretty worthless I guess...
What's unintuitive about the Monty Hall problem is the difference between mathematical Monty and a psychological Monty. It is easy to imagine Monty almost only opening doors in case the guest choose the car, and not opening anything in case they choose a goat. So, when presented with the choice, a cautious guest will hesitate to change. If, however, the guest knows from previous shows that Monty will ALWAYS open a goat door, it is still mentally hard to change the cautious strategy.
Many airlines already require obese passengers to pay for two seats.
I'm torn on this; on the one hand, the prospect of being able to circumvent things like unauthorized repair prevention down the line is neat, and who knows what people may be able to tease out of this (apparently quite powerful chip). So that's neat.

But it also breaks Apple's security platform in a big way, since this should make Apple's biometry scheme in their Macbooks much weaker and FileVault a lot easier to crack. That's a shame, because it's a very neat and cohesive security platform that gets out of one's way and works really well even for highly non-technical people. Their security stance is one of the things that keep me in Apple's ecosystem and I know a number of people and companies who feel alike. So, coming from that point of view, I do hope they fix this in time for their first round of ARM Macs.
It's probably not feasible to upgrade it but apart from the magnets a lot of problems being solved for ITER (especially materials, tritium handling, and remote operations) will be useful for any Tokamak and indeed for any magnetic confinement fusion device.

I think the biggest mistake that novices make is to use "as much architecture as possible" instead of "as little architecture as possible". Architecture and design patterns should be used once you have a problem to solve where they fit well, not a priori / because they seem cool and interesting.

I applaud Coinbase’s CEO on his position of keeping politics out of work. Other tech companies have been overrun with employee activism, which just means one political side has weaponized those companies in favor of their ideology. It is disrespectful to all their customers that don’t align with those views, damaging societally when digital public squares (Facebook and Twitter) are corrupted by employee politics, and it is a distraction in a professional environment that could otherwise be operated apolitically. I hope other organizations follow Coinbase’s example.

Water saving toilets came out (or just were mandated) in the 90s and quickly earned a bad reputation. Over time manufacturers have learned to make good toilets that use less water. Note that water savings in the 90s was a major savings over the toilets of before then, but is more than twice as much water as toilets today, even though good toilets today work better than the best of the 90s.
I agreed with what Brian Armstrong said in his blog post and thought it was admirable to publicly take that position, but now I have even more respect for his dedication.

While I agree with all your points (I also think the book is a good one), I don't agree with the "level up" part. I don't see how, after reading carefully the book, any software engineer can "level up". If you don't have practical experience implementing (or dealing with, or maintaining) some of the scenarios the book talks about, then in no way one can "level up" just by reading the book.
