> “From a design point of view, it’s pretty lazy,” says Hurley.

I love designers criticizing design used for business. It rarely incorporates any perspective on business objectives. As long as the design is achieving its goal then who cares?
What kind of topics do you write about? Is it programming/reference material like "Mastering framework X in lang Y"?
Interesting hypothesis.
Where do you think they go?

I’d say it might seem this way because of the hyper growth. Most people at FAANG haven’t been there long, because they haven’t been big that long.
Asking “who fact checks the fact checkers” is not post-truth bullshit.
Ssl stripping usually means replacing https links with http (when on http) and blocking TLS so users retry with http.

Moral of the story, if you a
are a site operator use HSTS. And if you're on tor, you should maybe consider configuring things so you only use tls.
Pay isn’t even the main reason I’d avoid gaming, it’s the tendency of game companies to grossly abuse their workers via crunch time and sudden studio closures that worries me. The same dynamics that suppress game dev salaries also lead companies to treating their workers as replaceable, which is a pretty bad situation to end up in.
OLPC’s $100 laptop was going to change the world – then it all went wrong (2018)
I was about to call you out, but turns out the thought that WD green drives were variable RPM was just people misinterpreting crappy documentation from WD on how fast they operate. They didn't publish speeds because they reserved the right to sell any speed of drive under that label without telling you...

> AFAIU, the root servers still receive FQDN and IP, which is not GDPR-friendly and technically unnecessary.

This is only a problem for a tiny fraction of queries. The records served by the root servers can be cached (e.g. .com has a TTL of 2 days), so most queries don't even hit the root servers. It's a much bigger problem for the registry nameservers.
Citation? Even in the Bay Area the median is considered somewhere around $150k.
I actually don't think it's a bad idea as long as parents can be involved and has limited sharing.
Like I said to another commenter, avid readers know these publishers. Outsiders who would potentially read from them dont know they exist. Non readers think books like The Da Vinci Code and Harry Potter are once in a lifetime books. They're actually fairly normal genre pieces. Difference was, these were marketed better.
The ones that don't work may have just been experiments that were set up wrong, such as using the wrong plant, harvesting the wrong part of the plant, or otherwise ignoring parts of the herbalist lore that the experimenter thought weren't important. These are all things that happen.

And some herbalism is just bunk, sure. But a failure to reject the null hypothesis isn't "final". It just means that experiment didn't work.

Not everything is easy to test. Not all herbalism, home remedies, etc. are described well; not all practitioners actually understand how it works even if it does work. (And sometimes experimenters test the purported mechanism, rather than the claimed effect, which is just silly.) All of these things can interfere with the transition from folklore to formal methods.
Jack Ma makes rare visit to Alibaba headquarters in Hangzhou
I mean, by now several people have pretty much told you that things were and are different in other (and larger) parts of Europe than they seem to be in Denmark, likely having a big effect on the initial proliferation of WhatsApp and potentially other messengers.
They literally snuck up behind him and swiped it out of his hands. He was seated with his back to the door, one of his many opsec failures.
This is an old post of mine:

Croatia is part of the European Union, and allows US citizens and other third-country nationals (non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens) in, very easily. This includes during the coronavirus pandemic.

They also have a digital nomad visa, and they allow you to have the national health insurance, like Croatian citizens and EU/EEA/Swiss citizens, are allowed to have.
It is quite a good deal.

Croatia basically costs about the same as the US, worst case scenario, and is often much cheaper. It is very nice in Croatia. Also, the people are extremely friendly and accommodating.

Also, coffee and cafes are a huge part of our culture. It is a place to gather and meet with people. We spend a lot of time in cafes. We are also a country where sports is a huge deal.

We all speak English, too.
Anyways, I am a dual US|EU (Croatian) citizen living in Croatia (Zagreb, at the moment). I am culturally American, and have lived in the US almost all of my life.
Split is also an amazing big city in Croatia.

If you want to experience what the "old Mediterranean" was like, you should absolutely spend time on the island of Vis. It is one of the most preserved islands in the Mediterranean. From post-World War II to around 1994, you could only visit the island if you had family there, as it had a Yugoslav military base on it.

Besides having an very rich history, it is just unbelievably pretty. There is a mountain on the island called Hum. There is also a famous blue cave nearby.
Because it is so pretty, people call it the "Hrvatski Capri" (The Croatian island of Capri). You know, as in reference to the island of Capri in Italy.

Pictures and videos do not do justice to how pretty it is. If you want to see how pretty it is, the island of Vis is from 2:27 onward in this video:

I hope this helps.
It's radically different, but the language where I've had the most pleasant repl-driven experience is Elixir. Because of how it's error handling works it's even sane to debug with a repl into live production in some cases.
I've had plenty of coworkers who've been at Google or Apple for longer than 15 years, but what I've seen is people will usually jump after 4 years for even more comp or go the startup route. So those FAANG salaries are like the lower bound for most. Of course, some people will just save/invest and retire after 6-10 years, that's fine too.
Nord VPN is incredibly bad for a multitude of reasons. Look for a reputable VPN, and ignore the shills.
It's so inoffensive that it has become offensive to me, with an "evil megacorp" association.
I don't think software is terrible anywhere in the world, compared to local pay level. In many parts it's not at top, but it always decent. USA is just outlier. In other places it is comparable or slightly above other engineering disciplines...

I don't spend enough time with FPGAs to even pretend to have an educated opinion on HDLs.
Oh, non-user facing programs is the land of well written specs, tests before implementation, design before implementation, and all the old school academic markers of good software engineering.

Yeah, you really do not want to program those before deciding their architecture. But the experience is far from universal.
Node.js has a REPL, and there's nothing stopping you from putting your entire project into a single file.
Linux kernel is only an implementation detail on Android.

Userspace is a mix of Java, Kotlin, ISO C and ISO C++ standard libraries, and Android specific native APIs.

Nothing from Linux side is considered public API other than for OEMs providing their own device customisations, not app developers consumption.

G Suite still has too much to learn from Office capabilities.
I say the same about art and music to my nieces and nephews: when you make art, people will really appreciate it, but you won't earn much financial currency - you will earn a different kind of currency...a social currency, which you can exchange for other things, but not rent.

So make art as a hobby or as a way to meet people, but not for money. The same applies to game development, which is art.
Taking down websites has nothing at all to do with the root servers. The root servers only distribute information about which nameserver is responsible for which TLD, and doesn't concern individual websites at all.
> For fiction, however, the dream combination is probably publishing in-progress with subscriptions. Currently it seems that Substack is the best for that.

Depending on audience and how you advertise to them, I've seen people be really successful on Patreon. I outlined some of that in a different comment here earlier, but $15k+ a month (from Patreon alone, not including other publishing that you can also do) is achievable and I've seen it more than once on somewhat esoteric genre fiction at Patreon.
This is because of recent IPO inflating TC
Because B2C is a pain, while B2B is easy money. Business 2 Business means you work with professionels, people of your own kind, and with a small number. In B2C you work with huge number of unreliable customers, catering more to their individual whims. And you must invest more money for money transactions, legal procedures, chargebacks and whatever you are selling to those customers. That's just a bigger risk and pain as a company.
I got the word "target" from the referenced section (65):

> In order to determine whether such an entity is offering services within the Union, it should be ascertained whether it is apparent that the entity is planning to offer services to persons in one or more Member States. The mere accessibility in the Union of the entity’s or an intermediary's website or of an emailaddress and of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the entity is established, is as such insufficient to ascertain such an intention. However, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the entity is planning to offer services within the Union.
I've worked at one of the FAANG for 6+ years, have coworkers/friends at each one of them and people openly talk/compare their compensations.

edit: I'm not surprised about the median, big tech has roughly around ~200-300k engineers, probably slightly less of it in Bay Area which has a population of ~7.7M, so it probably doesn't affect statistics all that much.
I had a physics for engineers ( irony! ) course lecturer at De Anza College who worked at Bell Labs at the time on the transistor project.

Oh yeah, that was the time when I used my HP 48G as a universal remote to turn on all 6 TVs in the lecture hall and people freaked out. }:)
Eh yeah, you're right. I was really thinking about white collar vs blue collar unions.
Could you point to some examples? Most of the claims of bias I've seen have seemed to come from a person whose position isn't supported by reality, so it becomes easier to deny it and claim bias. But I haven't made a study of it and would love some counter examples.
I've had a similar experience just connecting to my school's Wifi network. Someone left a threatening message on the now dead 'anonymous' chat app(YikYak) using the campus Wifi. Campus PD checked the IP address, saw one of my devices now had that IP, and gave me a call. I spent 5 mins trying to understand what this app was that they were even talking about, and another 10 mins explaining how IP addresses work to them.
We support multiple data warehouses on our platform. We recently had to do a bit of work to get Postgres running, so we wrote a high-level post about things to consider when running analytical workloads on PG instead of normal production workloads.
Since there's no such thing as news anymore, it's all op-ed, and the debunking sites all have a POV, I mostly just ignore peoples' politically oriented links except for primary sources.

It's hard to argue with a video or a transcription.
being a game dev. seems like the worst tech job: few perks, minimal promotion opportunity, no ipo riches, no buyout riches, no lucrative stock options, high failure rate, low pay relative to revenues and exec pay, long hours, no credit, low salary cap, etc.

I find the "childlike" quality of it oddly appropriate for modern corps, but not in a good way, more like "we know we're infantilising you. Drink up!"
Friends at blizzard are paid well too, but a lot of them didn't start out in games - they started in devops. Lots of need for that skillset for big MMOs.
This is pretty insightful. My (non-dev) career path followed a similar path (due to skipping college).

Are you still in the gaming industry?
This is a completely separate problem and not related to the root DNS servers. As an individual user, you do not contact the roots.
This is true for people in the middle to the bottom of the pay spectrum in the US. From experience where insurance paid ~1 million for a significant healthcare expense and my out of pocket was $4k -- when you are in a field with such a low unemployment rate and generally good benefits, it's a non issue. The month premium we pay is a non-issue. The maximum out of pocket is a non-issue.

That being said, the way healthcare is paid for in the US is complete garbage for basically everyone that doesn't have that same (more or less) guarantee of employment (with benefits) and is a huge problem. It just isn't for upper middle income (and above) workers.

Same with college. In my experience most SW engineers in the US make enough money to drop money in some kind of investment account for their children monthly so that college isn't so burdensome unless their children go to the absolutely most expensive places or they have a ton of kids.

Again, it's the people in the middle and bottom that are getting screwed. The top 20% of earners in the US come out ahead i think.

EDIT: I'm not advocating this as a positive thing or anything, just noting that I think SW engineers in the US have a pretty good gig compared to many other people both globally and at home.
To contrast - I only got into the gaming field briefly in Canada and after working at a med device company that paid me more as a junior dev than I ever got as a database and server specialist in gaming -

24yo:50k CA

26yo: 53k CA

And at 28 I shifted to an insurance related software company and immediately got bumped to 80k which still wasn't that amazing. There was also a whole bunch of unpaid overtime while working in gaming.
I'm a long time exit node operator, I operate X currently and all are in Asia where they're most needed imho.

I would not be opposed to having some sort of operator validation of exit nodes. Where you can actually validate who runs an operator node, get a person behind them. And perhaps rate those higher than others.
Stop and break that down... "Why don't you just send your browsing history to NordVPN instead of risking using a compromised exit node....."
Shooting wide open is fashionable because it’s a sign of expensive gear. Once artificial bokeh is perfected I expect people will stop obsessing over blurry backgrounds.

As a followup, The 13 Clocks by James Thurber is a very short book, but it has some of the best writing I've ever seen. The story is not confusing, but it's nothing particularly special either.
Is it the overhead from Jest itself, or your tests?

At the end of the day, a JS test runner has to run a bunch of tests written in JS. That can't be optimized away, and I'd assume it's always going to dominate performance.
You're probably missing the fact that there are clear scenarios this could be used for where for one thing murder isn't the priority, and for another it may not be malevolent either.

i.e.

* Somali (or similar) pirates hijack a freight vessel and are potentially holding crew hostage. So there needs to be a quick way to render aid/help with extraction.

* As someone else up-thread mentioned, this can also be used to aid in SAR missions, such as in mountainous terrain.
That makes sense. I know the MITMproxy they mentioned re-signs the traffic, but it will not work unless you install its self-generated cert so I thought it was weird that the malicious exit nodes were using it.

Also, if someone is running a bitcoin exchange that has port 80 open for anything more than a redirect I would not do business with them.
If that's their goal (I don't think it is), they are hilariously incompetent at it, as the root servers do not have anything to do with invidiual domain names at all. They only map TLDs to nameservers.
I feel that, at the point where the fbi is trying to distract you by making out so they could steal your laptop, its already too late and you are very screwed.

Maybe a bluetooth autolocking thing could have delayed the inevitable, but it would just be a delay.
The quoted salaries are 99% of the time excluding the employer paid portion of health insurance, which for an individual is typically at least 50% of the cost (~$2k to $6k depending on your age), but at a white collar tech firm, I would expect even more. For family coverage, the employers that pay well cover the other family members too so that can be added on as well, you might be looking at $20k+ in additional pre tax pay that isn’t mentioned when people state their nominal wages.

Plus HSA contributions, 401k matching, dependent care FSA contributions, etc. The US has tons of tax advantage pay options for the well heeled employers. If someone says they’re earning $250k, and doesn’t specify if it’s total comp or not, I assume the employer is kicking in an extra $50k for various benefits.
Quarantine aside, online relationships are no substitute for those in-person.
Smoothing is orthogonal to high frame rate. You shouldn't upscale lower frame rates by making up frames (essentially tweening). It adds latency (boo) artifacts (boo) and reduces fidelity overall (boo).

If the source happens to have more frames, then show them of course. But otherwise I'd prefer to see the same frame again for the extra 1/60th of a second.
We are, since Earth has the only life known in the universe to date. The other possible conclusions are any probability < 1, which means not inevitable.
OK: let's look at this thread from the beginning. Not the post you responded to, but the one they were responding to. In particular, consider how the word "average" was intended in the post you responded to, and what aspect(s) of the root post that was addressing.

Then consider, given the context of the whole thread, how "expected" was intended here:

> Junior soldiers are not expected to read documents like this.

Webster's for "expect": 1 c. to consider bound in duty or obligated

(1a and 1b also more-or-less apply)

That's what I take as the use of expect here, fitting with the thread before. Most soldiers are not obligated to read this work. No-one will be surprised or disappointed or pissed-off if most soldiers never crack it open.

And then consider how I (and others) may have read your use of "expected" in your response to that:

> If it is true that junior soldiers are not expected to read a document such as this, then the document should not state that the intended audience is soldiers.

By this you mean that the authors anticipate (sense 2 of "expect" in Webster's) that some of those reading it will be soldiers, that they expect (some!) soldiers to be among their readers—at least I assume so, given your agreement with the notion that most soldiers are not obligated to read the text.

You've been writing past everyone in this thread because your original response was a non sequitur to the thread-in-progress, which was about who is obligated or intended, in practice, to read this document.

chrisseaton was addressing something different from what you're trying to argue over. You aren't even contradicting him because you're talking about different things.

Besides, your reading is every bit as "connotative" as chrisseaton's, except that you're ignoring a big chunk of the (not long!) sentence you quoted in order to preserve yours as the exclusively correct reading. In particular, there are two senses of "audience" at play, between this thread and the text in question. Your reading that the piece is intended to be understandable by a "Soldier"—so that is the "audience"—does have support in the text, clearly, but the contention that the "audience", in the sense of who is actually expected to read it, and so for whose needs we may expect the text to have been crafted, is more precisely specified in the second part of the sentence, is also supported by the text, and is what comes out when the entire sentence is considered. That second sense is what was under discussion, originally.

Sometimes those old books are fun in a quaint way. Talk about "negros" where you are expected to understand why the person isn't bad per se, but automatically unable to be anything other than a basic servant. We can laugh at it now, yet it was so common and wasn't even mentioned.

And then of course look at ourselves and wonder what the next generation will laugh at.
For the person doing it, sharing of such news can be more like the person expressing their own emotions than like sharing information. If that expression gets invalidated, the motivation to express those emotions remains.
My server administration journey actually began with a pirated copy of Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

You'd have to be pretty biased to call a literal quote unchanged by context a "mixture" of truth.
Sky News Australia - Aussie version of Fox News.
People bring up actor and athlete unions - but programmer unions wouldn't work that way to allow high-performers to shine, be heavily recruited, and highly compensated.

Actors and athletes have extremely high visibility. They are singled out by fans who will show up to movies and games on that star power alone. A similar dynamic will not develop in the game programming world where even phenomenal developers labor in obscurity.
There are also single-pixel compressive sensing cameras, which don't need focusing optics at all, so they can be made lensless (and potentially flat). They also have plenty of downsides though, such as poor performance in scenes with movement, or very high computational requirements for image reconstruction.
