This is an excellent explanation. One last piece to clarify: there is no way to edit the known-safe list, is there? And/or there is no way to add a script after the update process that copies files like this, correct?
I agree, people give US companies way to much slack... But then what am I supposed to do if I'm European? The US and China pretty much covers the mobile market (and what's not covered is still not European).
I guessed as much :)

> People don't want poor people living in sub-optimal housing, so instead they force them to sleep outside or live with abusive people.

People don't want poor people to live near them. That is the root of most of the zoning issues, it's not because they are actually worried about the quality of the housing stock that the people would live in.
AAAnnnd, I just went to AmEx to search for an old transaction about 3 years ago, and it's gone.

Poof.

Just records back about 18 months. Just like all the rest.

AmEx counts it's longstanding "members" as it's strategic assets, and used to have this great ability to search online records instantly. It is a GREAT customer-retention feature, and hot data storage has never been cheaper.

The longer a customer stays, the more valuable to them is being able to search all the old transactions. It is a key Amazon feature to be able to search all my old purchases over 20 years back.

Yet now, it is just like the rest. If I'm going to just lose everything in 18 months anyway (no, requesting and mailing old statement copies is no substitute), why not leave?

Corporate decisions are baffling
Isn't that exactly what banks are for - so that you can get a loan? I would expect that you would qualify for a loan if you show evidence of your upcoming employment.

Many companies also pay for moves.

Of course if you do all that, and then your employment is suddenly canceled, you are stuck with some debt. I guess that happens to some people.

Sun was already drowning when Java, Zones, Dtrace, even ZFS came out. Not many knew it at the time. I can't say I did, but I remember thinking that they had a couple of billion dollars in cash left in the bank to build a future for themselves with. It seemed to me like it ought to be enough.
Ah, turns out security is actually bad! That seems reasonable.
Minimizing Integration Tests Through Dependency Injection
I've been told that the reasoning behind this is shady resellers loading unremovable system malware to the system partition (which runs as device admin++) before reselling this to you.

Apparently this is a huge problem in China, where there seems to be quite literally no trust at all on online shopping. This actually does seem to be the case if you try buying devices from any NON-xiaomi-official store Aliexpress shop. They're usually $0.01-$1.00 cheaper, and are guaranteed to be packed with massive amounts of malware. None of which can be pressed "disable" or "uninstall" (greyed out).

They use fake reviews and fake buyers much like Amazon in the west, to inflate their order count and ratings to be sorted above Xiaomi official store
I appreciate sarcasm but the use of ‘/s’ can clarify intentions to others not so inclined to enjoy it.
Vintage Technology Thriving
I believe the main issue at play here is a paradox in software engineering. The paradox is this: safe languages are more useful on complex projects that in simple projects, but complex projects suffer more from performance degradation and system integration issues when these languages are used. Put from the other side, C is perfectly fine to write short pieces of code, but despite its problems it may be the only reasonable language to write large pieces of system software (I'm including C++ here as a "kind of" of C, just like Objective-C).

I'm ex-AMZN ex-MSFT executive and have run many large teams and been on hundred of hiring loops at all levels. I have a YT channel under that name as well with examples. Happy to help out.
I know this experience. For me the fear was that if I put the thought onto paper that somehow it would be more real, but the result was that the thoughts ended up burning away at me and taking up more headspace than if I just put them on the page. The realization that I am an emotional being full of contradictions and not a logic machine helped me stop suppressing.

I've seen plenty of interesting bugs, best I found personally was a compiler that was outputting files 1 byte at a time.

Games are riff with these sorts of bugs, but the volume of released games vs other types of software makes any sort of comparison unfair.

Though I don't doubt that Teslas could be engineered to power a home, it doesn't make sense for them to officially support it as a feature. At most, it would power your home for a day before needing to be recharged, so you would need solar panels or a gasoline generator to recharge it. At that point, you would already have a home battery system in the first place, or you would just power your home with the generator directly. Plus, you would need to have transfer panels set up to power things that are hard-wired, like lights, HVAC, pumps, etc. At that point, it doesn't make sense to adapt a system designed to move a car to work with a house.
I'm not 100% sure from your comment whether you're making out that:

(a). China is bad (yes, known)

(b). The US is not quite as bad (debatable but for the sake of argument lets agree that this is true)

(c). The US is benign

My comment was only refuting the 3rd supposition. I'm not sure if you actually believe this is true. Though terms such as "country with a functioning democracy" make me think you might...
I don't have proof. I'm merely correcting the parent on what the theory claims. That said, the only thing that "underlying baseline from which your personality starts" really claims is that there is a "nature" (as opposed to nurture) component to people's personalities.

While I'm sure not everyone would agree with that, it's not exactly implausible. Indeed it must surely seem likely to anyone who has observed how wildly differently young children react to the same situation. And has been borne out in twin studies, etc.

Now that doesn't mean that the MBTI has the right theory about the nature of the "nature" component, but my point is that if you are taking the MBTI to be a description of someone's total personality rather than just the nature component of their personality, then you are completely misconstruing what it is claiming.
wouldn't that simply be comment_count > N ?

Being prepared for emergencies is prudent. And most contingencies require the same basic preparations and planning. A store of non perishables, water and a way to purify more, a good rifle and ammo, clothes for adverse conditions, perhaps a generator etc are all good to keep on hand.

But the number of times in human history the world has "ended" can be counted on one hand. That time 10k years ago when the human population had a big bottleneck, maybe a super volcano. The bronze age collapse is another. The fall of the western roman empire. That's about it.

But there are many more smaller events that still warrant emergency preparedness. Catastrophic weather, civil unrest and war count.

It’s your company and you’ll learn the same lessons every other companies have learned in the past.

People are usually passionate about fun, interesting things. People are not passionate about boring, tedious things. Customers pay big bucks to have people do the boring, tedious things correctly.

Who is going to sanitize inputs to prevent basic sql injection hacks? Who is going to write basic unit tests to get at least 50% code coverage? Who is going to code review for basic functionality and quality standards?

Most companies ignore all the tech debt, and hope they exit before the debt comes due. Most companies fail.

Good luck.
Maybe in the states this is true about transport. Here in ireland I would guesstimate the difference between entry level (personal car) ownership costs and upper-middle class car ownership at 1/1.5... maybe even less... maybe even negative.

Fuel costs, registration and insurance costs are, I'd wager, negatively correlated with wealth and much higher here than the states. Driving an older car can cost €100-€200 more per month than a new one.
You can't arbitrarily set rent prices. You can only ask what people are also willing to pay.

People are willing to pay because they have high paying jobs and want to live near to where they work. And that is ultimately also a good thing.

Think about a brain surgeon, who under socialism would have to commute for two hours to his jobs, and under evil capitalism can live 20 minutes from the hospital. Under capitalism he will get to the job well rested and therefore have a higher success rate for his operations.

>I can't help but admit that it seems to work.

Really? I see it as a abject failure.

- It is universally derided by many different groups.

- It is considered a plague on society.

- Being "cancelled" is a badge of honor to some.

I used to see my society as a place where hate speech was generally taboo. People would only espouse such attitudes in private or, if they did so in public, they'd at least use dog whistles or euphemisms for plausible deniability.

Today, Facebook is full of people shouting pretty fucked up shit for everyone to hear. The attitude seems to be that you can't cancel everyone, so everyone should do it as much as possible. I know a lot of people who can't speak to their parents or other close family anymore because the hateful shit they shout on facebook all day.

Granted, this is just my person experience. Others might live in a place where people are nicer to each other than they used to be.
I think the key is looking at the opportunities that you have, whatever they may be, and putting in the work to take advantage of them. I have hundreds of friends who are relatively poor and who have many opportunities they don’t take. For example, I’ve offered to give free guidance or instruction to many, but it turns out most people don’t want to take advantage of that. I told people I could hire them (into the very same role I first had), but they didn’t recognize the opportunity. People want easy, so they ignore opportunities like this in their lives.
Nobody "kept" half the world poor, they did that to themselves. Look at the vast amounts of aid that's been sent to nearly every poor country over the decades. Huge sums. In the end the big success is China, which didn't need such aid. They solved their own problems (well, sort of, economically at least). The poor parts of the world are still poor because they make a lot of bad decisions, it's terrible but when you drill in and study what goes on in those places it's plain to see.

The poorer parts of the world would stop having so many babies as they got richer anyway, it seems.

Chrome is the most used browser despite Firefox doing nearly everything Chrome does the same and everyone knowing that Firefox doesn't track you like Chrome does.

It's obvious why. It's a little faster, it has more money behind it, it comes pre-installed (and unremovable) on most phones, etc.

> And in this industry, nobody is comfortable talking about it.

Man, I remember some of the business courses I took, as well as the reports and presentations we did after our internships. So many people's thoughts and conclusions read basically as "I learned that the poor are people too". This was at one of the top universities in my home country. It's reasonable to expect these people would be industry leaders eventually. The lack of empathy they showed was appalling.

All that being said, I'm glad you got through the challenges in your early life. I wish we were more tolerant about poorness, because sharing experiences like yours could definitely teach and encourage other kids to fight for a better quality of life. Having more people with your experience in places of power could also help bring a little more empathy to society. We need it badly.
Conversely (I think), if you have dependent types you don’t require constexpr.
Hmm, I mean why Chinese capitalism is so powerful? Because the government sanctioned and allowed the capital's all-reaching power.

Do you believe CCP is so capable to utilize such tools?

If the answer is yes, then you should ask yourself is there any realistic chance of overpowering such a technologically advanced "government". And how much more powerful the private sectors would be. Think about how much gap is between silicon valley and US government in technological capabilities.

This framing of pin everything as government sponsored activities make it very difficult to correct such behavior effectively. Because they were easily brushed off as intentional attack on the nation.

Why not just put it as what is?

I mean 996 in Chinese high tech industry is killing the quality of the work. That's obviously the right reasoning right?
> I can't be the only person who thinks that this is an odd and inappropriate comparison to make, can I?

You're probably right. But I think there are also many who take a view opposite of yours. Maybe that's why these debates rage for multiple years, instead of being quickly resolved.
People with access to low or zero cost surge electricity capacity, in areas near to where the ASICs can be manufactured, to minimise the lead-time between production and use. If you can get access to hydro electric energy, you can adapt your usage as needed, and effectively provide a service of switchable demand to the local generators.

They might even pay you to use the energy (negative pricing) if you made your load remotely switchable for them to control in real-time.
In the simplest case, in C you can read file data into memory, cast it as a struct, then just use that struct without ever doing any parsing.

As things get more complex you're probably going to need to manually set some pointers after loading blobs of data and casting them.

It's just the standard way of dealing with binary files in C. I'm not sure what you'd need for search terms.
...or you can argue exactly the opposite along the same lines...
It's really not different, particularly the first example.

If you're going to claim it is different, then I claim that LISP can't do addition. When you have (+ 1 1) that is something completely different, because you have the syntax fucked up. It's not addition like I know it, so it doesn't count.
> caving immediately after someone demonstrated knowledge of their legal rights and lack of fear to contact the justice system.

Sounds like the solution. When I was younger, people would try to take advantage of me, but all it takes is a bit of standing up for yourself and they concede.

Not commenting on this guy in particular but sometimes when people use long-winded stories to explain themselves, it's usually to hide something. Like hiding the truth in between embellishments. I don't know anything about this guy though so he maybe innocent of whatever thing he did? I skimmed over the article but still don't know what happened.
I ran into the exact same thing. And because I don't have a SIM card (it's an at-home "tablet"), I have no way to enable USB debugging. Pretty frustrating.

If Lineage starts supporting this device, I'll definitely move over from MIUI.

Who doesn't call trackers spyware? Everyone with a slightly-above-average sense of privacy has been calling them spyware and blocking them for years.
Certainly showing 3 - 5 “summarization” bullets on mouseover would be more useful.

Rather more difficult to do in a CSS style sheet though, so perhaps this is the right ROI.
Fern Creek Software | Louisville KY | 100% Remote Fern Creek is a software consulting company. We build stuff for other people, usually in .NET on Azure but we do other stuff occasionally. The company has been around since I started consulting independently about 20 years ago. Recently I started taking on larger projects that need more people and as a result, started hiring people. Sometimes a 1099, sometimes W2.
This is not super sexy stuff where you will get options that might be worth millions, but likely worth nothing. What you will get is a load of experience on new tech (asp.net core, azure, blazor etc) and a great focus on the best feature of all...shipping.

The job is remote so you don't have to be in Louisville though if you are close that is cool. Set your own hours and all that, I want pros not people that need babysitting.

True, but those are less direct, so easier to sweep under the rug (cleaner… no pun intended), or dismiss with “but market forces” (farmer).
