There are probably several dozen of us reading this thread who are still using ancient Model Ms. I have a Greenock-made UK model (built 1988-11-15) which feels indestructible. The Greenock IBM factory closed down years ago, sadly, so there won't be any more coming from there. The factory has been the site of some interesting urban exploration. [1][2]

Read the book Apprenticeship Patterns (which is available for free online here: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/apprenticeship-patterns...). It contains a set of patterns that you can apply to figure out what to do in different situations through your career. I was quite far into my career when I read it and I wish I'd done so earlier because it helped me turn my career around. The book has a strong emphasis on finding the learning opportunities in different situations and that was key for me: never stop learning.
For a huge percentage of the developing world the only internet connection people have is a smartphone, and dedicated residential internet at a fixed address is only for the upper middle class and the wealthy.
Apart from the risk factor of being cought on camera as pointed out by others, I'd like to add that probably there will be few chances to actually graffiti self driving cars.

Autonomous cars have the ability to go places by themselves. So the most efficient way to use them is to have on the streets just the right number of cars based on the demand. Because demand, once the service is fully deployed, is quite predictable (this is already so for services like Uber and Lyft), the most likely scenario is that autonomous cars will be on the streets only insofar as it's necessary to meet the demand at any given time and place. I wouldn't be surprised if in a short time, thanks to ML, they'll be able to predict where and when pick-ups will be requested by users.

Since it's quite likely that autonomous cars will be busy going to pick up users, or transporting users, it is very unlikely that they will give any chance to "artists" to make graffiti.

Moreover, when cars are not used, given the relatively very expensive equipment mounted on them, it's very likely that these cars will be parked in surveiled areas.

So, the way I see it, it is very unlikely that graffiti will be a problem. There might be few cases, but nothing systemic.
Nuclear is more expensive than wind or solar with way higher upfront investment and way higher lead time to start generating money. And in the US, thanks to NIMBY politics, there’s no solution for long term waste disposal either.

Seconded, that doesn't quite parse as meaning anything.
This is because the author didn't delete the entire volume group. You have to delete the whole volume group, i.e. erase the entire drive and it's partitions to reinstall OSX.

This isn't new with the M1 Macs. This has been a thing since they introduced APFS. When they went into disk utility after the cli - Then they could delete everything and kick off the OSX Install.

If the APFS Volume Group still exists the installer will try to unencrypt and work with it. So.. In short, just make sure you delete the volume group. There's a specific button for it. I just did this yesterday on a T2 Mac.
The year of linux on the desktop won't happen because linux becomes more user friendly, but because macOS and windows 10 become less user friendly.
What you're proposing would've worked if there were competing teams behind X and Wayland and they could've competed and coexisted.

But Wayland is created by people who maintained and developed X.

Since they have stopped developing X, that means it'll eventually become abandonware, in favor of Wayland.

On a different note, I don't understand what the fuss is all about. X is in a very good shape. If Wayland is not there for you yet, keep using X, until Wayland gets there.
Windows and macOS are both very reluctant to tell the user what's actually happening on their disk. They both insist on abstractions that hide the reality of how partitions and filesystems are arranged behind the scenes. Sometimes that's a useful simplification, but sooner or later hiding that information from the user always leads to the OS lying about whether a device or filesystem is truly empty.
The siege of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese war was precisely this kind of industrial carnage that later repeated itself in Flanders.
Not to mention that people don't rush to other assets in general, they rush to safe assets. No one is gonna rush to buy bitcoin in the event of turmoil affecting bitcoin exchanges, this is just nonsense.
The inflammatory wording of the source misinformation was designed to elicit exactly such a response.

Probably some hydrocarbons are presently used as lubricants or plastics somewhere in the design, but those needn't be the long term portions of it, and the energy supplied to forge and shape the materials and components could be provided by anything feeding the grid.
This works IF you write 100% vanilla javascript. In larger projects a vanilla javascript approach usually falls short. I cant see a large project being written without a types in 2021. So you still need a build step, no matter if you are using Typescript, flow or some other typed version.

I think the reasoning is that it's to prevent a stolen laptop from being stolen, wiped and resold without the owner allowing it through their credentials.

I remember a poster on HN saying that after some exploit for the T2 security chip came out, they were making money from being paid by thieves to use the exploit to wipe the devices.

Of course they said they don't ask any questions which as we all know is an iron clad defence lol

> Why does the Model M have essentially zero spill resistance? Because the cheap design doesn't permit spill resistance. When you spill water on an M, expect to either have it dry for weeks or months as the water evaporates from between the membranes, or to disassemble it. If it wasn't pure mountain spring water, you have to disassemble it, which--due to plastic rivets-- is a destructive proecss.

Hmm that would explain why my (Dell branded) buckling spring keyboard that i was using in the 2000s couldn't recover from a Pepsi spill.

If you implement district heating it could work, mostly because renewables don't produce waste heat. However, I'm skeptical on how much nuclear is really needed. Probably only 20% at most.
>Ahh, I feel that you don't believe bitcoin is money

It's a fact it isn't. Money isn't a matter of belief, money must be backed with something. What is bitcoin backed by? Nothing. It goes up when speculative frenzy heats up and collapses violently when speculators lose interest. If every corporation in the world bought it to 'store value' it would moon. Then a depression comes, corporations start selling to cover operating costs. Except it turns out everyone wants to sell and nobody wants to buy, resulting in a violent collapse.

Dollar is money because it's backed by all dollar denominated debts, including taxes. Any American is forced to sell a double-digit fraction of income for dollars. That's backing. It's true the value slowly falls, but no other asset with such a widespread demand source exists - it can be thought of as a utility fee.

The prevailing (false) meme in bitcoin circles is that it's going to be less volatile once it grows bigger - on the level of us dollar. Yet much smaller currencies are money and are significantly less volatile - because they are backed by their respective states enforcing debts.

>This assumes that it provides no utility outside speculation

Whether there's actual utility or not, it's captured by tx fees. Tx fees go to miners, btc holders don't gain anything.

Don't get too caught on in memes, btc only ever existed during a global bull market. People and companies are flush with cash they have no idea what to do and part of it goes to play on bitcoin. If you manage to dump on them then congrats - you took their money. The moment the global bull run ends and people are forced to try to get their 'stored' value back it's over. There was a temporary example during the covid crash.
The argument there starts from bitcoin futures being worth more than bitcoin today. What's wrong with the simple explanation that people expect the price of bitcoin to rise?
It's fine advice. The wear of writing 1GB of zeros can and should be ignored. It's insignificant. And the drive's spare area is only relevant if you're trying to thoroughly wipe sensitive information from a device before disposing of it. But right now we're just trying to make a device appear functionally empty so that we can re-install an OS without remnants of any previous installation getting in the way. This does not require the (sometimes dubious) security assurances of a secure erase command.
When I saw comic sans in terminal I knew what's up.

Focus on business value, avoid being seen as an expense. Many software engineers believe they're the most critical part of a company while higher-ups actually usually see us as expensive code-monkeys. Don't get me wrong: I'm not telling you not to work in IT security if your true passion is here, but keep in mind you'll most likely perceived as useless if everything goes well, and incompetent if something goes wrong. You'll most likely be among the first engineers to be let go in case of trouble because infosec is simply not that valued by businesses.

Consider avoiding working in cost centers, try to join profit centers.

Wow, had similar. I cancelled online, they said my account was in good standing, nothing owed, and killed my t-mobile.com account.

A few months later I got a collections notice for $500 from t-mobile, went to a t-mobile store, said that my account looked weird, and they had recorded me as not owning my phone, despite a clear account history that I paid full price for the phone and didn't owe anything.

Still get collection notices, but it's now over 7 years, and my credit card recovered by some 70 points or so when it aged out.

Yes, The Bit Short isn't completely right, but it's right enough that even if you go back and make the corrections to the data, the point remains equally valid.

Here's one follow-up piece worth reading that does some statistical analysis: [1].

Nic goes on for days about fake volume. Let's use Bitcoin Trade Volume, which I'm led to believe is a very generous pro-crypto take on the actual volume in the space. It shows 59% USD and 41% USDT. That's not the 75% USDT The Bit Short suggested, but who cares? It's huge.

If you sub in those numbers when you're reading The Bit Short, it's just as compelling. Something Nic doesn't care to talk about, slamming the WSJ instead of who he should be pointed at, Paolo Arduino.

We liked the articles when they were free and we could push ads alongside them and we don't want to share the profits we make from this ad-pushing, sorry.

That's a much more true summary of their position I think. Facebook, exactly like Google, is an ad-pushing company. I don't have any sympathy for ad-pushing companies in the first instance and then even less for those who want to push ads against work they haven't commissioned themselves.
For years, Intel Macs have been able to net boot to install the OS onto an empty drive. Did Apple ditch that functionality or move it from the firmware to a recovery partition with the M1 Macs?
The town is a good analogy because switching towns – like switching phones – is a significant expense relative in either case, while switching stores is free.
What were the things that surprised you the most coming from outside IT ? what were the hard part ?
I have no idea if this number is realistic but lets say the US military pays 10 billion dollar a year for this. The consumer price is about a thousand dollar a year so they would need about 10 million customers to get the same revenue. If the whole system has enough bandwidth to support that many consumers I don't think it's just for marketing.

> The reason no one is fighting too hard to keep nuclear around as an option is because it simply isn’t feasible without the government subsidies handed out in the 60s and 70s.

I still find this argument hard to believe. The physics involved is pretty simple, immerse the rods in water, bring them together, water boils, water turns turbine. It's the polar opposite of fusion.

What makes fission reactors cost money is the Government being involved from the first pen on paper, to the cutting of the ribbon and all the steps in between.

Allowing private companies to design and build them, the Government to regulate, only, should reduce the price dramatically. SMRs are a thing: https://www.energy.gov/ne/nuclear-reactor-technologies/small...
Did you consider the future impact of CO2 pricing in Germany?

Coal plants will shut down very soon and that will "surprisingly" make Germany look much better.

After all, the strategy that is currently being pursued is very erratic. The emission reductions are not going to follow a smooth curve like the CO2 emissions in 2020 showed. It's very difficult to make sense of what is going to happen. An us vs them comparison might not show the whole picture.

Don't burn yourself out. It's just a job, not your identity. Put in your 40 hours then do something else. You might not enjoy programming for money as much as programming for fun, so you should also develop other hobbies.

Don't make it your responsibility to fix management mistakes. Few things are really urgent. Don't work long hours because of an arbitrary decision to ship on the 15th. Deadlines are missed all the time, and it's rarely a huge deal.

Consider contracting. When you have enough money, you can stop taking contracts and spend time on things you love. That can include programming for fun.

Remember that a lot of what you do is mere convention. Don't assume that everything is a certain way because of a deliberate decision. You can cancel meetings, question rrequirements, change policies and take the initiative. This tends to yield better rewards than mere toil.
From the UK here:

Yes we all have a credit score - it's mainly used to measure your ability to borrow and repay debt and will influence whether a company loans to you and the interest rate on said loan.

It's not (yet) as aggressive as the social scoring system in China if that is what you were alluding to...

Do you not have a similar system where you are from? How would the above be decided for you?
The core issue has nothing to do with Bitcoin: The environmental impact of "X" has to be priced into the product cost. That is a legal question at its core. I know that is easier said than done, but it is the only long term solution. CO2 certificates are one way to do it, and it already helps.

*X= Air Travel, Bitcoin, Cement... whatever creates large amount of CO2

As I said in another comment, crop all the parameters from the URL, and the problem solves itself. Path is case sensitive, the domain must be lowercased anyways, so no problem either.
Work on a programming side project related to some hobby you already enjoy and know. Being familiar with a topic makes programming easier since you can focus on learning software development instead of the domain.

When you get a job this behavior will be inverted. You'll know how to write software but you'll have to spend more time learning the domain.

Did you close the account manually or via the Switch Guarantee service? https://www.currentaccountswitch.co.uk

If signed up to the scheme (most are, including Santander), your old bank is responsible for passing on any deposits directly to your new bank account and the new bank is responsible for processing any transactions made using your old details. This carries on for, I believe 12 months.

I found the Switch Guarantee service to be excellent and believe it's a significant driver of innovation and competition in UK banking (which is far ahead of many other European countries in my experience).

My payees from my old bank were even transferred over to my new one.

From the article.

"Bitcoin is deeply colonial, deeply extractive, and deeply damaging to the environment and marginalized people around the world. This privileged crypto-colonialism almost exclusively benefits white men"

While just a few paragraphs before that, the author states that most Bitcoin mining is now happening in China...

I hate this neo-racist narrative so much, it sucks out oxygen and reason from every space it occupies. Is nowadays ecology subsumed under critical race theory? Can't you make an environmental argument without dumping on someone's skin color?

At least the author does not try to argue that Bitcoin is intrinsically transphobic, I would frankly expect it to be added to the mix above.
> In reality, teather claims their reserves are cash and cash equivalents. They only need to hold a small fraction as actual cash for quick withdrawals. And there is a good chance that teather hold cash in multiple bank accounts in multiple countries. It's a huge risk to have it all in a single bank.

They haven't burned a single token in the last year.

Give or take zero banks in the world want to do business with Tether, they're totally and utterly toxic to USD banking. Tether got shut down by every major bank on the mainland US, one. By. One.

It got so bad they started getting rejected by third and fourth tier banks. They had to purchase Noble bank in Puerto Rico to get them onboard. Once Noble's mainland US correspondent bank found out, they got shut down immediately and pushed into insolvency.

So they found the sketchiest bank in the entire world, Deltec, chaired by the man who created the Inspector Gadget TV series, Jean Chalopin.

Look, I'm not saying they don't have the money, I'm saying I don't believe them, neither should you, and neither should anyone else until they pony up an audit.
The cookie can be easily cloned since it has to be readable to the browser so it can be sent to the service. Also the cookie is issued to the browser after presenting other credentials to login like password, 2fa and magic links so it does not fill the same role at all. Cookies make a very bad "something you have" factor since they are constantly sent over the network, so at any point there are many different load balancers, application servers and so on that could reasonably claim to be the "thing you have". Cookies are also (usually) issued by the service, not by the client so by definition they have been on some other device that is not the device you want to prove you have before landing on the device you want to prove ownership of.

What makes hardware tokens (like the yubikey) fill this role better is that the algorithm (which is really pretty standard crypto) runs on the device and the device is specifically designed to not reveal its keys, so it's easier to assume that anyone that can present proof of the keys also has the physical object.

Secure enclave (and that is why I mentioned TPMs in the previous post although it seems like it would require a TEE) could fill the same role as a yubikey, but is often not used that way except for the device vendors login (like apple id). Even if your password is encrypted in a way that only the secure enclave can unlock if you can get it out of there then it is not as secure as something that you can only prove possession of (and not extract).
