> Chances are most of the people you talk to are hiring or know people who are hiring.

Definitely this. And if they like you, and their company isn't hiring, they might even be able to get them to hire you. Good and enthusiastic security people are hard to come by, so you take the ones you can get, if times are good and you think you might need more soon!

And even if they aren't hiring, chances are they will be able to make a personal introduction to someone who is hiring - at least in the local networks I've been involved in, there's more demand than there is supply, so people are generally pretty willing to help you make connections with the right people. And at the back of their mind, they will also be thinking how they can always go to you in future to get out of their current place(!)
> > Use it as a window manager

Because I need a window manager.

> > Use it as a file manager

> Why?

Because I need a file manager? I can give you an example of a time where I needed to examine some files, and depending on what I saw, with a keystroke make notes in a text file with links to those files, but that's secondary to the topic. The simpler answer is that I need things like file managers and window managers, and Emacs is both. Viewing Emacs as a text editor is a misconception you seem to have.

My question was whether there are plugins for VSCode to do any of these. You did not address that at all. Your comment is noise in this thread.

With respect, have you gone and looked? To me it feels like the folks who present that objection haven't actually gone and checked, they're making an unfounded assumption.

About once or twice a year I lose a day to a youtube hole wherein I go through all the recent videos of {Bigfoot,UFOs,Cryptids,Ghosts} for fun. There's a lot of crap out there, fake videos and hoaxes, but there are more and more very good candidates for "real" videos.

>But when we looked at performance on the 16-core benchmark, none of the winning machines ran Intel processors. In fact, the AWS custom-built Graviton2 Processor, which uses a 64-bit ARM architecture, edged out GCP and Azure’s winning machines, both of which ran AMD processors.

Google/GCP plays catch-up, and while GCP has been coming to the level of AWS on services, the AWS already gets new CPU platform, and Google doesn't have ARM thus leaving GCP several years behind - this will become pretty clear in the coming years. With ARM beating x86 on performance and power AWS can undercut - typical AMZN/Bezos - the GCP on price or use the extra margin to expand and finance even more R&D of AWS. I also think that Apple with M1 will become a huge cloud player, at least for various mobile apps, etc. ie. encroaching into GCP market, while not necessarily into enterprise market of AWS nor Azure. That way the GCP will be squeezed from all sides.

>Its revenue is growing fast, currently over $12 billion/year.

The tough question here for GCP is whether that revenue is supporting the R&D to match the R&D of AWS and Azure (and probably Apple in the coming years), especially the investment required to get their own ARM. If i remember correctly Google gave GCP till 2023 to become a leader comparable to AWS or something like this. I think they wouldn't reach the goal, and as result Google will start counting money when it comes to GCP and will just drop GCP from the top priorities, and the GCP will just linger lagging behind more and more.
> According to the regulator, cameras recorded employees in workplaces, salesrooms, warehouses, and common areas. NBB claimed the aim was to prevent and investigate criminal offenses and to track the flow of goods in the warehouses.

> However, in order to prevent theft, a company must first use “milder” methods, such as random bag checks when employees leave the premises. Moreover, the LfD said video surveillance is only lawful if there is “justified suspicion” against specific persons, and even then, video monitoring may only be used for a “limited” time.

> The data authority found NBB’s video surveillance was neither limited to a specific period of time nor to specific employees. The recordings were saved for 60 days in many cases. Customers were also filmed in seating areas without their knowledge or consent.

> The regulator said “the allegedly deterrent effect of video surveillance, which is repeatedly put forward, does not justify a permanent and unprovoked interference with the personal rights of employees” in a translated press release.

> “We are dealing with a serious case of video surveillance in the company,” said Barbara Thiel, head of LfD Lower Saxony, in a translated statement. “Companies must understand that with such intensive video surveillance they are massively violating the rights of their employees.”

> Thiel added video surveillance is “a particularly intensive encroachment on personal rights” because it can pressurize employees “to behave as inconspicuously as possible in order not to be criticized or sanctioned for deviating behavior.”

Finally! It always amazes me how computer monitoring and video surveillance at the workplace have become so widespread.

Also, the idea of focussing on widespread breaches of the right to privacy is a great one. It helps spread a better understanding of the meaning of the right to privacy.

It's really tricky, because the move to open access publishing (which typically requires that authors pay) is a good thing on one hand, but facilitates these junk journals (and inflates publication count) on the other hand.

"Sometimes we don't get to choose the role we play, but we always get to choose how well we play the role."
Old news. The far more interesting question is what to do about it. The OP has some suggestions, but I have some more radical ones:

- put carbon taxes on BTC/fiat exchanges

- outlaw mining

- outlaw BTC transactions

- put economic pressure on other countries to do the same

Basically, there is no benefit to the world that cannot be done with far more energy-efficient means, e.g centralized currency or proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies. Proof of work needs to go, sooner rather than later.

I have always been curious how some of these ECUs worked behind the scenes. I know many times when they were reverse engineered by tuners the major tables such as ignition advance, fueling, mass air flow, etc. would be identified and that would be enough to allow some tuning of the car. But there were always many tables with a mysterious purpose, such as tau adjustments, which were never fully understood. I also wondered how values were interpolated by the ECU considering most things are table based. The tables might have 500 rpm, 1000rpm, etc cells with timing values, but when you log the ECU you do not see big jumps in timing at those cutoff points.
The e-commerce felt like a side project of the web, it was nascent, potentially cool, but, at least to me, never the reason I was connecting. I wanted to read, chat, play.

You seem to be confusing a program that exists because of the government funding the development, and a commercial program that exists in part because the government is one of the buyers of its product.

Falcon 9 certainly benefited from the government buying launches, but the project was done with private investment. This is very different from how Atlas, Delta, the Shuttle, etc. were developed.

NASA (and DOD) continues to buy launches from SpaceX, but that's no more a subsidy than them buying pizza from Dominoes.
It's worth noting that this approach, of training a neural net on human games of a certain level and not doing tree search, has been around for a few years in the Go program Crazy Stone (https://www.remi-coulom.fr/CrazyStone/).

Are there really that many local newspapers using SPAs though? I feel like advertisers delivering boatloads of JS with their ads sometimes gets conflated in this discussion.

Another point, it's true Reddit doesn't need a SPA. However, while I hate their new design, at the scale of Reddit an SPA can have real effects on server costs as well as user engagement. And, if you look at their growth numbers it seems to be working out for them, despite their design churning me as a user.

Third, the ecosystem of well-built components means that even if you don't really need a SPA, using React could save you money in launching your MVP, which is a big consideration for startups.

In the end, widgets with lower-latency interactivity, even when not absolutely necessary, is a better experience (for example, a form field that tells you what's wrong with your password as you're typing). Also, because the SPA crowd are building richer applications, you're going to have access to richer open-source widgets when building with that technology. So it's a hard thing to ask people to avoid React when it could be the difference between a great user experience and a mediocre one down the line.

Let's just continue to build better SSR tools so we can have the best of both worlds. We can build tools to help developers cut JS from their app, because it's true, eventually the latency bottle-neck isn't the speed of a round-trip request with PHP but the speed of downloading and executing all that JS with your SPA.

I believe this is a loosing battle, not because of hype, but because of the business reasons for using frameworks that are capable of delivering richer widgets. We can have our cake and eat it too, instead of fighting the shift in technology.

I think alternatives like Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash are more likely to be adopted as a transactional tool in that case.

Bitcoin - speculation on digital store of value and solutions to hedge against fiat currency risks. The valuation model is to try to determine what X% of the global demand for store of value assets might shift towards Bitcoin in the long run. Probably nowhere close to the level of a fiat currency market or the gold market, but perhaps much higher % than it is today.

Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash - attempting to make crypto transactions common. Higher capacity, faster transaction processing. The valuation model is X% of casual transactions. X is probably never going to be an appreciable percentage compared to big transaction platforms like Visa or Mastercard, but it may grow steadily and find niche areas where the ability to quickly transact in a cryptocurrency is highly valued. This is likely to remain correlated to cryptocurrencies that act as a store of value because one main area for demand of casual cryptocurrency transactions will be hedging risk of fiat currencies. Eg if I live in a region with government currency instability, I’ll want to decouple my cash asset values from that government risk, and look to a platform where I can still buy toilet paper or bread without hyperinflation.

Ethereum, Polkadot, Cosmos - network effects and ecosystems of smart contracts. The valuation model is like an app store mixed with a cloud vendor. Much harder to state a clear valuation model, likely very volatile due to perceptions of “killer apps” and how much staying power they would really have, as well as the interplay with regulators.
Impressive project. Writing all the VHDL including the FFT and Viterbi decoder... I'm genuinely curious where the ROI on a project like comes from? Selling hardware and training materials?

Don't forget booting Linux in single user mode with a simple GRUB edit to bypass the login.
Having used all 3 major platforms, for me the developer experience in Linux really is the best. And I say this as someone currently trapped on MacOS. For personal hacking I use an older Dell XPS15 w/Ubuntu and it’s like a breath of fresh air every time I dig into a project. Containers just seem to work so much faster, there’s fewer weird things, no hiccups, and things like git and Emacs scream compared to Windows.

I totally get why people prefer Mac and Windows outside of software development. But as a working developer it’s really worth the effort, if given the option, to invest in learning Linux and developing on it.

Interns doing the whole WSL thing makes me cringe. Not great for your career IMO unless you plan on making a quick exit from the dev side of things.

This might be a controversial take, but I feel like A “worse” developer with a solid workflow in Linux will appear more productive than a somewhat more skilled developer getting dragged down by WSLisms.

That case was a huge convoluted mess. If I understand it correctly the UI patent claims were rejected and the case came down to 3 hardware design patents, D618,677, D593,087, and D504,889. But the case is so involved you damn near need a law degree just to follow it.
The thing that makes me uncomfortable when reading all the details is the fact that Boeing is using trim to move an aerodynamic surface that is not intended to be used for direct and immediate control of the aircraft, to induce an aerodynamic force on the actual control surface (the elevator) which then manifests itself as a force on the control column.

It's basically all backwards. It's like implementing lane assist in cars by rotating the whole transaxle so the driver gets phantom forces in the wheel that keep the car centered, instead of sending some signals to the power steering unit that's already there and already messes with the control forces. (Or going all fuck-it like Airbus and doing drive-by-wire with an Xbox-sourced steering wheel.)
