I don't people understand the potential consequences of using mixers and anonymized bitcoins.

If you have large sums in bitcoins you have anonymized and want to start withdrawing it as USD or some other currency, it can be confiscated unless you can proof it's origin (yes, there is reverse burden of proof).

Anonymize only bitcoins you use on the internet as anonymous user. Don't anonymize bitcoins you want to withdraw or convert into legal tender someday.
The emotional impact you are feeling, then, is a result of the image manipulation?
I had a roommate just after college that was a civil engineer and had a decent job. Upon getting to know him and his other friends I found out he'd done time for robbery and trafficking.

He had come from a really poor back lground. His first year in college he saw all these kids with BMWs with rich parents. He decided he wanted one too so he made it happen.

Being given a second chance worked for him.
He that depends

That doesn't sound right to me; APL's notation is not particularly difficult to learn, especially if you're familiar with existing basic math and programming language symbols. What's hard is grasping the underlying concept of array-based programming and using it to do useful work and solve problems. NumPy is popular because it piggy-backs on a popular, widely used, and free language which also does a lot more than array manipulation, if NumPy existed on its own then its notation would not be simpler to learn it would be bizarre.
You can temporarily prevent non-collaborators from opening PRs via settings>moderation>interaction limits.

However I agree, it is strange that you can disable features like issues but not PRs.

Even with tides, how do you explain >=2 planes if you didn't start with 2 to begin with? To get new tracks you're either amplifying small differences or averaging larger ones, aren't you?
For me, I find woodworking and more specifically cabinet-making to be a very full-brain activity much like programming. It requires both left and right brain - technical and creative sides working simultaneously. It's become a joy and passion. I don't do it to save money (though the pieces I do turn out cheaper than if I'd hired someone) but just because I have a vision, and I want that vision to be precisely my vision, not what the contractor wants to do to get their job done cheaper and faster.

If anyone's interested: https://leonardteo.com/woodworking/

I picked up woodworking only a few years ago after buying this place. Watched YouTube videos, attended a workshop where they taught some of the tools and safety. Then did the rest on trial and error.
> As a programmer we have access to more than most accountants

Do we? What does the average programmer working on internal business applications, b2b services or CMSs have access to that is of any risk?
I met my first girlfriend in Dekaron (AKA 2moons, an mmorpg) when I was a kid, in 2007ish. I met her in a map for mid-leveled players. We played together in a party, talked a bit, she let me know she was a girl, and she accepted my proposition to be my girlfriend. Then I let her go AFK and leech experience off of me while I was grinding. 3 hours later, it hit me she might not have been a girl, and she was still AFK.

I unfriended that username and never saw them again. Definitely fun while it lasted.
All mutations are accidental. Whether a macro feature on a biological lifeform is accidental feature or a feature driven through generations of natural selection can be judged through the complexity of the outcome. Complexity arises from random mutations being selected and building on each other.

A complex module in our brain that formulates moral judgements on certain behaviors is by probability more likely to be an outcome of generations of natural selection. Such a module arising by accident is roughly equivalent to the probability of a tornado self assembling a 747 airliner from random junk by accident.

>Towards anybody, there is no possibility of the police being called on you while strolling through any random neighborhood and no possibility of that escalating into danger if they were

I attribute this to gun ownership. Police in most of Europe don't worry about anyone caring a gun, so their physical reactions are much less severe.

>“but look at the violent crime stats, LE has to assume everyone that looks like that has a dangerous weapon”
After Hitler used very detailed census data to single out certain groups, Europe is very sensitive about collecting them. I remember a debate in Slovakia a decade or so ago, where they were talking about guessing a race and people were strongly against it (never passed).

>More likely you’ll wind up in a society where everyone ignores each other by default anyway and that’s great, leaving only the endearing things to experience.
Interestingly enough, I never felt this way while living in Europe. People are still engaged and quite caring but also keep their distance.

Europe is far from perfect, but there are parts I miss greatly.
That's interesting because I've filed many things in Texas related to background checks in Texas and have never received a response. I'll edit this comment with more research about this, as this is personally a very interesting topic.

She thinks that this is an unusual opinion among most historians but perhaps more common among art historians. She doesn't see much problem with this sort of work, but it is possible for this sort of thing to be done badly. She doesn't doubt that the cited historians have formed a detailed opinion here (rather than just being emotionally upset at somebody touching their things) but doesn't agree with them.

She rolled her eyes hard at the name "deOldify" and mentioned that there are a lot of dumb attempts at doing this that don't have any empathy for people (ex. redoing Shakespeare as rap to connect with young people without actually trying to understand young people, ironically this sort of thing was actually mentioned by Shiryaev).

There is a cost to careless distribution of primary sources (a good example I never considered was the loss of marginalia when digitizing books badly) but it is the job of historians to do this well and it can be done well.

If you need a few things in your makeshift lab - perfboard/veroboard is perfect. You can go to your local electronics components store get a few bits and start programming AVR chips within a day.

Using KiCAD, then waiting for the equipment and then soldering - that is already a barrier.

Imagine you need a small voltage regulator on your DC supply line, because your cheap power supply spikes randomly... Are you going to wait for your PCB to be printed and a month for delivery(sometimes 2 months) and pay $6+ for a single board for delivery(components excluded, obv)... or you're getting a 10 pack of perfboards for $5, cut our the right size and have your voltage regulator within 10 minutes at a fraction of the cost...
> What right does the U.S. Federal Government have to prosecute people who aren't even operating within their jurisdiction?

The jurisdiction of any sovereign state is whatever that state says it's jurisdiction is; extraterritorial jurisdiction is not at all uncommon.

In order for an entity to have externally-imposed limits on its jurisdiction, it would have to be answerable to a superior soveriegnty (which would itself either be or be answerable to, perhaps through more layers, an entity without such limitation.)
With a just a few years of experience I consider myself a bit of a noob developer in a small shop.

I'm given the opportunity to say "I'm trying something new, but dorked up and this will take longer". It's not limitless and sometimes I end up playing catch up... but IMO it has paid off a lot in my confidence and skills.

It has been a great experience. Being able to make a real change that actually impacts the product lets me see the results, good and bad.

The real power is rewriting something, finding out why things are the way they are, failing to make it better ... and then that combo really informs the final result that is almost always way better.

I'm a college football fan and a head coach PJ Fleck talks a lot about failure and how he wants his guys to go out on the field, try, and fail. Making choices and failure to him is 100% a part of the process to getting better, not just as a part of "that's what happens" but it is both expected and embraced.

It also reminds me of when I used to have interns sit next to me. The vast majority we'd give simple tasks to and the outcomes I didn't really care about as much as the effort. Most folks really floundered without being told what exactly to do, it was disappointing.

One day a high achiever intern comes in along with a guy who was "a problem" according to the professor.

Both did great, and IMO difference between everyone else and those two wasn't any technical skills or etc... they were fearless. They tried things others wouldn't, they'd dork it up, but they also (to some extent) didn't worry about the results and thus learned super fast. In the end they were the only two we ever actually offered jobs to.
Every once in a very great while, I see a reason for hope.

This is similar to Peace & Love, Inc.[0] from Information Society. You may remember their song, "What's on Your Mind" that sampled Spock saying "Pure Energy." On Peace & Love, Inc. they include a track named "300bps N, 8, 1 (Terminal Mode Or Ascii Download)" that is modem tones. When captured by a modem at the right settings it displays some text from the band.

It’s just a machine. People have ulterior motives. Machines just do what you tell them to. People need to worry about their jobs, their ethnicities, their status. Machines don’t even care about replication. There is no silicon gene that drives them.

And as for what’s happened, it doesn’t matter that it’s less precise. Every piece of information only moves my belief tensor in some direction. It only has to move me in the direction of what’s happened and it’s already superior to an exact description of what’s happened that doesn’t move me in that direction at all.

You overvalue inaccessible truth. And you overestimate historians’ propensity to tell the truth. They have every incentive to lie. And they do. And it works because I suspect you value precision over accuracy. The net result is you have lies told to you by people with a vested interest in you believing a thing.

And I, I have a machine that I can make that makes mistakes. But you know what, you take your approach. I’ll take mine, we’ll see who wins in the marketplace of ideas.
> This is what we get with corporate-sponsored “social coding”, brought to you by Digital Ocean and GitHub and McDonalds, home of the Big Mac™. When you build the Facebook of coding, you get the Facebook of coding.

The author has this spot on. Everyone who has ever emphasized things like "your commit graph" and metrics like "number of PRs opened", or who uses GitHub star count to judge a project's popularity is collectively responsible for this kind of problem.

GitHub is a good tool, but its social aspect does not optimize for meaningful coding contributions, it optimizes for visibility. I agree with the author that sr.ht would likely avoid this problem since it's optimized for actual problems that programmers need to solve.

That being said, I think there are two other factors at play here:

1. I had a lot of internal debate about whether or not to say this, but calling it out for what it is – there is a bit of latent racism inherent in this outcry. A lot of the people making the requests seem to be male and South Asian, and I think this triggers people's inbuilt resistance to South Asian names. They will fall over themselves to advise `alina_stravinsky599` on the best way to make a typofix, but will yell "shitoberfest!" when `navinshah53` makes the same PR. [1]

2. Digital Ocean seems to want to juice metrics and use Hacktoberfest as a PR marketing move, so they have no incentive to actually offer personal mentorship that can enable anyone to make meaningful contributions to Open Source. Their "Beginners" page (https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/details#beginners) recycles generic information about making PRs.

---------------------

[1] A personal, optional perspective regarding this: If you are a fellow South Asian man like me who actually wants to contribute to Open Source, remember that OSS maintainers will consider your PR as guilty until proven innocent. This is not fair, just like life. Your PRs need to be non-trivial, typo-free, and have perfectly passing tests. If you feel like submitting a simple PR to fix a typo or something, avoid the temptation and just leave it for others to participate in this feel-good fest. Consider spending that time writing closed-source code for money instead.
> C++ is becoming a real mess of features

> I am now looking forward to learning Rust

Prepare yourself. I personally think one of the major downsides to learning Rust is how quickly the language is moving.

I first started looking into Rust in ~2015, but it seems most hobby projects from that time won't even compile today.

It feels like there are non-breaking changes to the language almost weekly. I still cannot figure out if I should be using nightly rust, stable rust, or switching back and forth depending on the project.

Overall I think Rust is doing a lot of great things, but I'm not sure it is handling the "mess of features" aspect of programming languages particularly well.

A tech employee is being paid for their work. The company assesses the employee's ability and dictates the level, which determines how much work they believe the employee can handle in a typical 40 work week. The balance a company hedges against is the company paying overtime for overestimation of the employee's ability, or under utilizing the resource i.e. the employee.

Generally, if you want to work less it's an option to take an easier job. However, in this instance it seems a severe underutilization to pay a tech salary (40hrs) for potentially (55/2)hrs of work. The company isn't getting it's due, and likely the employee isn't either.
