I said this in another comment less succinctly but I think I'm sensitive to these types of classes because my degree program was chock-full of electives that were basically outdated bootcamps for web dev, mobile dev, cyber security, etc.

So I'm generally hesitant to classes that can easily become "Here's how to use Android Studio".

This is inspired.
For experienced seniors and principal/staff engineers, this is pretty close if not below market rate. But presumably most of these engineers are globally distributed and 500k for eastern Europe is an immense sum.
Which is fine when it's just the police making that information available on a short-term, need-to-know basis. When you have third parties (like "mugshot sites") republishing that information in a more lasting and public form, it becomes a problem.
None of this means anything. "Nature of the transaction" is not a thing. Like-kind exchanges no longer exist. Transacting in crypto, to buy something or to sell it, is a taxable transaction of a capital asset and results in a capital gain or capital loss.

As for the "licensed professional" dig, they're the only people who are going to represent you in front of the IRS when bad advice gets you in trouble. Do with that information what you will.

So FWIW, look out for ^ these guys too. Talk to your state or the federal bar taxation section.
Exactly! I keep seeing this shit about how you have to fuck around with all these config files in Linux... Then when you have to do the same trash for basic things in OSX, nobody blinks an eye.

Except one of the first things I do on any Windows setup is to move the page file somewhere else or resize it.
Please note that I didn't say that the barrier could just be removed.

Indeed among both the Israelis and Palestinians, there's a small percentage violent men (mostly men), for example, a small fraction of the people in IDF shot a thousand people in Gaza some years ago (about 100 died, don't remember exactly).

And a small fraction of the Palestinian men in Gaza fire rockets against civilians (although they pretend they target military but they don't) and I think eventually some people like them would blow bombs if they could get past the barrier. And that would restart a circle of violence, bad for everyone.

> How else do you propose they quell the proliferation of arms

That might take about a generation.

Examples: Stop doing bad things to one's neighbor: Don't send soldiers with weapons to the West Bank, building settlements and taking other people's land, forcing them to leave. You can websearch for "Breaking the silence IDF" maybe combined with "male soldier Gaza" or "female border police" to find out other things individuals in IDF or the border police sometimes do, that can create and keep alive such hatred you mention. (And maybe is that kind of hatred, just this time from some Israelis against Palestinians.)

And do kind things to one's neighbor: Share the Covid-19 vaccine with the Palestinians: Reverse time and give it to high risk group in Palestine, instead of first to low risk groups in Israel. Support women in Palestine who start their own businesses -- women are generally more peaceful and the more influence they have, the better.

And about the barriers: More buses, more checkpoints, and more staff in each checkpoint, so takes less time to pass the checkpoints. To respect other people's time.

There're probably 100s of things to stop doing, and 1 000s of things one could start doing, to create peace and friendship. Then, continue like that, for one (maybe two) generations, and it'll be fine.

(Plus doing kind things to the people in nearby Arab countries, so it'll be harder for dictators or corrupted politicians there, to say bad things about Israel -- which they apparently do a bit much, maybe to divert attention from problems in their own countries. For example, share the covid vaccine with the people in Lebanon.)

However I think Netanyahu and Hamas or Jihad group leaders, need conflict, to get more votes and stay in power. Isn't Netanyahu popular partly because many voters think he's saving them from danger. Too many of the voters don't realize that he is part of creating the danger. And the same goes for Hamas and jihad groups. And they'll want to continue taking land, and firing rockets, doing the opposite to what I mentioned above.
It absolutely varies by workload and individual but I can be productive under macOS in a fraction of the time it takes with any Linux distro. Its defaults are much better aligned with what I expect of a desktop OS, and customizing Linux to behave similarly is both a fight and not possible to the fullest extent without breaking out the source code for existing projects and making modifications.

It's great that source-level customization is possible under Linux, but really, who has time for that? I could see myself delving into writing a macOS-clone DE (which as a sidenote, GNOME and Pantheon doesn't go far enough with) if I'm fortunate enough to be able to take a multi-month break from work but otherwise it's a lot easier to just keep using macOS.
This is the epitome of "big if true"
Do you have any examples of blockchain based account management?
Stablecoins have value outside of just trading pairs on exchanges. The main value I find in them is that they allow you to reason about fiat(or really any other currency) on chain in a far simpler manner.

For example, suppose there's a smart contract based lending marketplace on the network. In most cases, real world users(lendees) will want said loan to be in the context of their local currency. As a lender you will want to provide said loan but you only have non-local currency assets.

Stablecoins allow you to represent the value of said loan on the network in a way that smart contracts can easily understand. Additionally, the lending marketplace could automatically handle the conversion between whatever X asset the lender has and the fiat stablecoin the lendee wants and vice-versa.

The main value add outside of convenience is that the current value of the loan is the same in the context of the local currency both at the day of signing and on the repayment date. Without working in the local currency, people could find themselves with a 50% more or less valuable loan the day after they sign it or the day before they repay it given current market volatility. Stablecoins and wrapped currencies bypass that issue.

This basic concept applies to any service marketplace where one side wants to use one currency and the other wants to use another. For fiat the solution is called a stablecoin but for incompatible cryptocurrencies the solution is called a "wrapped" currency.

Like others have mentioned there are regulatory advantages however they also greatly simplify a lot of things on the network for both sides of a transaction in various service marketplaces.
These tools are definitely awful. Last week I spent hours reading a programming book because I was unsure about certain part of my code and needed a refresher.

Also, a lot times I just need to think without typing anything. There are days where I only type few lines of code but getting the knowledge to write it takes hours of looking at the business and making sure there is no ill effects somewhere.

I still deliver and my boss doesn't need to hold my hand.
This page is loaded with repeated headline statements but no substance.

Mugshots are a form of punishment without being convicted of a crime. The government and police keep plenty of info private before court days, so it can make sense to keep this private too.

I think the main reason why they are public is so the police cant just disappear someone when they were arrested for potentially political reasons, and their political supporters can start responding when it happens, same with why court cases are publicly accessible.
Small countries routinely help out for cases like this. I expect the US has reached out to whatever ones were involved long ago - it is just that until now things were still in the evidence gathering stage. While the police are sometimes willing to make an example of the wrong guy - that is the exception - most of the time they try to be right which means long investigations over many attacks.

The problem is that certain of our laws are written in a way that makes them hard to enforce, especially when the people breaking those laws are part of the government. Often the problem is that the only people with the authority to charge someone with a crime are specific people in a specific government organization. If those are the people breaking laws, there may literally be no outside party with the legal authority to charge them with the crime they've done. That can be changed, it just takes a lot of work and understanding. People generally don't have a very good understanding of the law, and part of the reason is that law is pretty much intentionally complex and obfuscated.
Yeah, that was just the most recent project. When I had to drill through tile back in November, it was definitely several minutes per hole (on the slow speed dictated by the special tile bit).

You're probably right about the stat including people who never use the drill at all, or only ever use it to tighten screws.
The abstraction layer with lowest common denominator is the tricky problem that The Next Big Thing will likely need to solve.

Terraform tries to do it but as you mentioned it’s often a frustrating experience because of lagging providers and Terraform itself is a moving target (at least it was 1-2 years ago). This quickly leads to code rot and dependency hell.

I think containers are the right abstraction for packaging, but orchestration wise we’re still trying to figure out the optimal workflow. K8S, TF and Ansible have shown idempotency is an interesting concept to have. Pulumi improves on that by having procedural logic to describe the desired state. And in my eyes The Next Big should build on those ideas while avoiding or fixing the current rot/lag/dependencyhell problems.
I've found I come across better when giving other people credit and asking for more work from said people. Sure I got more to do, but 9/10 it's never come back to bite me. These people often noticed I "got it" in how the game is played and they almost always reciprocated it as well. The 1/10 is the person who cares about their work being done right over the perception of it being done.

Is it always true? When I worked for a grocery chain, I was part time but because I averaged over a certain threshold of hours per week that was less then 40, I received full time benefits. This might have been a union requirement rather then a legal one but it worked out the same for me regardless of whose requirement it was.
> As a developer, why do you want to fight your operating system to get basic things done?

I've been using Macs for development since 2013. I've done Android, Ruby on Rails, React, data science with Python and R. Apart from Docker, I don't remember "fighting" the system.
And wouldn’t that be actually a feature!
Well.. you’ll have to install an fs driver for that. Exactly like in Linux.

Can you elabrate on why a growable tape has more limited computational power than an infinite tape (is the growth you have in mind constrained in some way?)

Not that we could have the latter, or an unconstrained version of the former, in our temporal world, of course!
Dont' forget:

- Multi- and highres monitor support out of the box with proper scaling and readable fonts

- A package manager with up to date packages (granted there are Linuxbrew and things like Snap now for Linux.)

- Applications that have a consistent UI/UX and all use the same keyboard shortcuts

> All the customization doesn't offset the trouble that desktop Linux can bring.

It's nice you can customize almost everything on Linux, but most of the time I feel I must customize everything to get to a basic standard.

Good idea.

I'd also like to see a law making it criminal for a site to post such information without also obviously posting that charges are dropped. You have one week to either take it down entirely or clearly mark it as dropped. If neither is done the post will be considered extortion.

A very minor burden on news sites that have to update old articles. A big burden on the extortionist websites. And by making it a criminal matter it doesn't matter if the site is hosted offshore.
People will pay $50+ for a single keycap, just to put the keyboard market into perspective. You may think this is too expensive, but for many people that's totally within an acceptable price range for a carefully-designed keyboard that matches what they're looking for.
I'm interested in what the behavior of an airtag is if it is power cycled.

It has a user-replaceable battery, which means that it would be fairly trivial to wire it to a brake light or some other intermittent power source, and then potentially bypass some of the timers and other aspects.

If you disable the sounder on it, and hide it in a car, I don't think you could ever find it, even if you know it's there.
This was _precisely_ my reaction. "Life Is Short"[0] remains a great piece that I return to time-and-again, but most of his other stuff that I've read recently seems to miss the mark - unlike this one.

So if you were a programmer on a project and you were given a spec that says "up to 100", you would just make it unbounded, and for all intents and purposes completely ignore the spec?
>If our culture treats the accused poorly, that's not the fault of nor is it caused by public mugshots.

Not sure how that works. Another person taking action between a cause and effect does not remove the cause from being responsible for the effect. For example, if I file a false police report and someone is arrested, I can't claim it isn't my fault because the police should've done a better job checking the report before arresting. The police were part of the cause, but so was my false report.

I still miss Opera's MDI (Multiple Document Interface). Using that vs using tabs felt like using a tiled window manager vs graphical window manager. You could get so much more efficient with the MDI once you dialed in shortcuts, window switching and rearranging, etc.

Then why would you have a million established connections? That's my whole point here: don't worry about the connection count until you have a concrete need to worry about it.
So then what's your take on Neuralink? Are they going to hit a plateau within the current paradigm? And what do you think that plateau will look like technologically? Maybe we could still get pretty far within the current paradigm.

> The ball is in Apple's court then. If they want to brag about being a real Unix system, the least they can do is ship modern Unix tools with their OS. Ironically, MacOS is the least compatible Unix system around.

macOS ships with BSD coreutils. It sounds like you prefer the GNU coreutils package, but that doesn't mean that the BSD tools aren't "real Unix", or that they're "less compatible".
Yeah, coming from a traditional non-ergonomic keyboard, it took me a couple of weeks before I could type as fast on my Moonlander as I could on my previous keyboard.

In particular, the keyboard being ortholinear took a lot of getting used to, but I am glad I invested time in making the switch.

> increasingly the better hire.

That's a stretch.

What I've seen with Bootcamps is that they know one stack and how to do one thing only. They are really productive in that one stack but lack the more fundamental understanding that CS grads have.

When it comes to learning a new stack, technique or solving harder problems, the CS students run in circle around bootcamp grads. But to the non-technical manager, they see the bootcamp kids writing code on day one so they naively assume they are better.
You could use this line of reasoning to justify a lot of terrible and/or illegal ways to make money.
I like Jade and Navy .. so nice! I'd love to build a keyboard using either of those sometime. But I already have too many keyboards... (not that that's ever stopped me yet haha)
> What is the externalized cost of this crisis on the entire country?

One natural solution would be to subsidize cyberdefense. The political difficulty is that a rational subsidy would be proportional to the harm of an attack, which would mean giving the most money to the biggest corporations.

The best solution would be for the firm to raise their prices the very small amount necessary to cover the expense, and for consumers to tolerate the expense because they know it's worth it. But a pipeline is a natural monopoly, presumably charging a monopoly-optimal price that (correctly) assumes a populace ignorant of such concerns until it's too late.
It's good for GitLab to pay their teams, but that stops being a justification to pay them more once the profit margin for a service gets high enough.

> it doesn't seem terribly far off of S3's pricing

GitHub's offering is close to S3 but only because AWS charges so much for bandwidth. The storage portion is less than a quarter of the equivalent bill.

And then GitLab is charging 5x as much as GitHub.
It's a dirty little, not so secret, shameful pastime of America. For the same reason that we love Dr. Phil, live pd, or judge Judy we love feeling better than stupid, ignorant, uneducated, abused, neglected, diseased, impoverished, drug addicted, poor people the narratives crafted to fit the mugshots and clips we see in the news or online.

I highly recommend listening to the latest two parter from Behind the Bastards, about Dr. Phil.

You can ban treating them illegally though. There's a difference between embarrassment and discrimination.

> - I've never booted to a black screen when upgrading macOS.

My wife got bit by the Big Sur bug, 2 weeks ago, were the installer doesn’t check if there’s enough disk space available before starting the upgrade.

Reached out Apple whom, had I not been next to her, wanted her to create a new volume on her disk and reinstall

Stopped her. Jumped in. Asked what the plan was and it was to format.

The initial question was if there was a way to recover the data.

I stopped the conversation and started searching.

Was working until midnight because everything I found basically said that you’re f’ed and lost all your data.

I was able to recover it.

.

- Yes, she didn’t have a backup. But the installer also should do the minimum of checking if it can run.

- I have no idea how old the installer is, but if Apple can remove Zoom due to a security issue with a web server, they can do it with a bad installer of theirs (or at least blacklist it).

- Before giving steps that are destructive, they should have prefaced with it or at least warn that they’re SOL and need to reinstall and restore from a backup.

.

It works the majority of the time, but honestly, this left a REALLY bad taste for me. If it wasn’t because we are basically in the ecosystem and that it usually works, I’d be looking around to others.
That’s not an Apple problem, that’s an Android problem. The ball is in Google’s court there.
On second pass, you're right. They're the same.
I was on a team that used CORBA to distribute across five machines: input, output, logic, UI, and whatever the CORBA object discovery thing was. (I don’t know what they were thinking.)

They didn’t try to run it all together until it was time to ship.

Networking overhead definitely killed us. That, and incompetence.
Nice! Man, I even search first - I wonder why I didn't see it.

Thats fine until "that guy" grabs the raw pointer out of a smart pointer and deletes it, or c style casts an interface to his version of the interface because he wanted it to return an int instead of a double. Then either pushes straight to dev or rounds up similarly evil individuals to approve the merge. I have debugged those errors. You can talk about accountability but even if you manage to get rid of one such dev there always seem to be more. And modern C++ doesn't really have great tools for thread safety. Its easier to get right than in 98, but still not hard to get wrong.
