> or you don't have the skills to improve the code.

Don't have the skills or don't have the time? Predicting, down to the hour, how long every programming task will take before you undertake it has been a staple of programming professionally as long as I've been doing it. I have the skills to simplify a codebase to any level you can define, but I can't do it in an hour.

Science generally saves us from trusting anecdotes, though. I know two people who were reinfected within five months, but I wouldn't conclude it's likely.
Cool, how do you get there? And you realize some work is simply non-trivial?
>really, you can’t argue with 40% of the web.

This is because WordPress is the equivalent of PHP. Sure it can do the job but there's a very big BUT in there, always.
no need to be arrogant: I graduated among the 1% of my class in CS and did not pass FAANG leetcode BS recently. These interviews do not test if you know your basic CS stuff but rather if you can produce code in under a minute. For most of the leetcode questions you need to know the optimal solution by heart so you can reach their ridiculous unwritten interview deadline.
Sometimes you cannot write an easy code -- e.g. low-level heavily optimized code.
These two commands ultimately do different things. `stg publish` was in the business of not force pushing and only committing the 'delta' between what lived on a branch and the currently applied patches, so that you can `git push [no -f]` to a branch.

Definitely cumbersome to use, but it had fair reasons to be cumbersome.
> In Australia I have fortunately not encountered a company that uses these puzzles in interviews.

The big ones are definitely doing it. FAANG of course, but also Atlassian, Optiver, Xero, Akuna etc. I am not sure, but maybe it's more common in the less experience levels? I am not experienced enough to know hiring after 5YOE etc.

John Oliver recently showed how easy it was to get stories on local news. I wouldn’t trust a story simply because it’s on the local news. That said, I completely agree that what they saw on radar scope was UFOs. I’m not convinced they were from another planet considering the proximity to CA from the Channel Islands (National Park).
My wife and I did this for 7 years as well. I had a strict "one item in, one item out" rule where for each new item we acquired, one had to be let go. She was not fond of this rule, and I can't say we followed it fully, especially as her photography career (and the amount of equipment it required) took off.

Eventually, we bought a house. It felt like a huge shift from the vagabond lifestyle, but I don't regret it. We still travel a lot, and rent our house out on AirBnb while we are gone.

I think in the end, traveling full time was too much for me. Having a home to go back to and recharge before planning the next trip seems more balanced.
Money laundering is linked to criminal activity by definition. It literally means introducing the proceeds of criminal activity into the legitimate financial system.

Just so people downvoting this have an example, India has strong restrictions on capital movement. So much so that once when I was leaving India the outgoing customs inspector had me open my wallet, noticed excess rupees, and helpfully relieved me of some of them before I got on the plane. And less colorfully, I know somebody whose parents would like to move to the US to spend more time with their kids, but they can't legally transfer enough money to buy a house near those kids.

I honestly get why some countries have capital controls; rapid shifts in capital can be truly devastating to a small economy. And criminals are some of the people most eager to move large sums of money to other legal jurisdictions. But there are definitely cases where money laundering isn't linked to what most people would consider crime.

The difference is that writers and mathematicians aren't typically expected to stand up every morning and explain to their colleagues and a manager who never did their job what they did yesterday, what they will do today, and what their roadblocks are. They're given a task and allowed to work for days, weeks, even months, with little or no interruption and largely self-guided.

They're also not typically creating things directly that provide as much business value as developers are.
I think you might be confused; giant squid were known to be a real species as far back as the 1800s based on specimens that washed ashore. But it was only within the last couple decades that they were imaged alive in their natural environment.
Part of the answer is looking for patterns and bots. When it's a few voices being amplified by a whole bunch of bots it's propaganda.
If you could hop in a time machine at age 80 and go another 80 years into the future, would you? I absolutely would. Even if you do nothing with those 80 years, you're traveling forward in time, seeing technological advances, and watching the future unfold. And this is not even considering the chance that we discover a cure for senescence.
> If you need extreme focus to work with your code, that code is garbage.

Maybe _i_ am garbage? Sometimes i need focus to solve the problem in a way that's easy to reason about. So no code exists, nothing you could critique, so perhaps your critique would be just about me?
I got upsold on progressive lenses at my last eye exam. It was an expensive mistake. They literally make me dizzy and sick when I turn my head, which happens constantly with my multiple monitor set up. I ordered a new pair of fixed plane computer vision glasses, but I think the manufacturer gave me reading glasses. From what I can tell, the focal plane seems to be nearer than my last pair, so I find myself leaning into the screens to find the optimal focus. Turns out that computer vision lenses are not exactly the same as reading glasses, so I have now paid for two pairs of glasses this year that are not suitable replacements for my last prescription. As a result, I now get to suffer until I can afford to try again next year, and my trust in the eye care industry has reached a new low.
your assuming that these 'brains' will find a use in their home country, and that's where your wrong.

1) no one is forcing people to move out of their country. it's a personal choice of each of these individuals.

2) as a real life example, in my home country I know of plenty smart people with or without diplomas that ended up in jobs that have nowhere near close of a place to use their 'brains' even if they really want to and not from a lack of trying just a lack of opportunities.

what good is having having a sharp brain and a PhD if the only local job opportunities are: door to door salesman, fruits and vegetables vendor, cashier, farmer, goat herder, working in a call center.
Interesting to me how the mainstream media is running with this now. Why? There are tons of UFO reports from military eye witnesses going back to WWII. Why are we now getting this wave of, ok it’s reasonable to elevate this topic to nightly news and congressional inquiry?
I think that's a good general definition. But sometimes people want to move capital unlinked to crime across borders. They then use exactly the same mechanisms money launderers use. If you have a term for that you like better, I'd be interested to hear it.
It's also an unusually expensive airport to fly in and out of (https://www.fayettevilleflyer.com/2011/04/07/nytimes-blog-na...). I was flying for business, like most of the traffic, so everyone is price insensitive.
> my job is actually to attend meetings.

It's probably not, though - or, at least one of those meetings is the one where you have to showcase/demonstrate what you "accomplished" in spite of all the interruptions. You do have to produce something in spite of all the time wasted in meetings. I've unironically been told that that's what the weekends are for.
Capacity charge is how they reduce the shitstorms that happen when the cost of electricity skyrockets and real time pricing becomes national news. They're basically forcing you to hedge your future electricity usage.

It seems pretty crazy that the Pentagon would be completely befuddled and would have absolutely no clue that these are just foreign drones, though, no? That's what the article seems to be arguing.

To me it would seem much more likely that the top brass know or strongly suspect they're indeed drones invading our airspace but are acting like they're unexplained phenomena as part of some sort of psyop/deception/intelligence/adversary-signaling stratagem. I'm not sure what the motive would be, there, but that sounds more plausible than random speculators online having more inference ability than the entire US military. Even if you assume the height of institutional incompetence, surely someone among the most powerful military in history would propose such a theory.

This position is selfish.

Covid is very often asymptomatic but still spreads. There is no way you can know that you haven't had it again, haven't spread it to others, and won't continue to do so without a vaccine.

And while it may be asymptomatic for you, you can still spread it to others who it will be very symptomatic for - including others who have been diligent and have taken the vaccine. You can kill people without knowing it.

The longer people go unvaccinated, the more likely mutations are to catch on, which may defeat the vaccine.

You are placing your general dislike of "putting things into my body" above all of our safety and welfare, and you are interfering with our collective efforts to end this pandemic and move on for the sake of our health and economy.

Please don't be so selfish.

I'm not so sure....

And those are bugs from from people writing core stuff, like you know, the people who should know Rust better than you and me. People writing foundational code that your program will run on top of.

Of special danger is the last CVE, that was rushed and backported into the last release. But nobody talks about it. I can imagine why.

I can bet that the "but the bug happened within unsafe code" excuse will be the next Rust meme.

My question was towards:

> It's already demonstrated that the big cloud providers will cut you off with little warning if you run afoul of their political sensibilities. So the only way to use those services is in the most generic way you can, so that migrations don't cost more because of it.

You are stating that you moved from one cloud to another. The question is how you manage to build a company of any size that can just flip a switch and move to a new service provider without needing to transition teams to using new services and that costing money. If we're talking about moving a simple server from AWS to GCP, sure that's no problem. But if you or anyone at your company is actually using a cloud providers services for more than hosting a server, there is no possible way you can just flip a switch and migrate over.

The motivation is that this is a viral story, so it's guaranteed to get views.

Bear in mind, every new story doesn't indicate a new sighting - these stories are mostly retreads of the same few incidents and a vague pins-and-twine narrative connecting other stories like the Pais patents to get some extra mileage out of it.
Part of the reason the demand is so high is that no one wants to get into a career that looks like it may get automated in the next 25 years. I know a lot of youngish drivers who got out after 5 years because they saw the writing on the wall.
If you reverse that and think about all the wonders and scientific progress that’s been made up till now, it’s easy to say that’s it never been a better time to be alive.
Repeat infections of covid have been confirmed and now that the CDC is tracking variants, we know that the dominant strains shift very rapidly. Meaning that you could be exposed to a mutated version for which your immunity is blunted or completely absent.

The vaccines are only 85-99% effective. So your family is still at risk for getting and spreading the infection. And if you're the spreader, it's possible that it would be a resistant strain.

My attitude mirrors that of your family. And it has more to do with doing ones part to combat this pandemic and return to normal. I got a vaccine less for my own person safety, but more for the good of society. I want people to be safe, feel safe, and I want front line workers -- who've given so much -- to finally get a break.

You're not willing to make this same, minor sacrifice for society that everyone else did. It makes sense that you'd be shunned by people who want this to be over with.
Of course it is possible. If you get your hands on the binary itself there's nothing that a good reverse-engineer will not be able to do.

Point however is, if you have a SaaS which uses Rust, the chances for triggering a buffer underflow / overflow exploit are zero.

As for other aspects of security, Rust makes no special effort there. The main win for using Rust is to eliminate the most widespread bugs (the memory safety ones) from the get go. Everything else is still fair game and has to be paid proper attention to.
>> anecdotes aren't anthema to logic. THey're all that is required to disprove universally stated truths. So if some vax-denier says "healthly people can't get covid twice" your anecdote is good enough.

The real problem is that despite all their talk of science and facts they're not going to be convinced. That's just window dressing for their wrong beliefs.

The value of vaccines is for society as a whole but the majority of us who get vaccinated do so for very selfish reasons: we don't want to get sick, we perceive the risk worth it, etc. The vast majority of anti-vaxers are still driven by the same base needs, we just haven't found the motivator that triggers action. Something as simple as vacinne passports would probably do it.
Despite being the most trigger happy nation in the world, no one thought to shoot one of the UFOs down?
The distinction is that almost all of that work is purely cognitive, and it is very asocial / individual.

This is fairly unique. If you're painting a big oil painting, yes you need similar kinds of isolation to get it done. BUT you aren't really maintaining a deep conceptualisation of the whole thing in order to paint. Rather you can "let the canvas remember most of your thinking": ie., the painting is its own schematic, by the means of layering & outlining it.

Also, in social-creative work "flow states" arise more naturally. I think people working with people, on the whole, enter flow states. It's why managers struggle to see the issue with asocial-creative work.

The issue here is code by itself is nothing like a dress or a canvas: it doesn't encode much of our thinking. We have to rebuild an interior world when we encounter it.

It is for this reason "literate programming" is almost certainly an excellent way to program -- absent almost any tools or popular sentiment in support of it.

Code can be written more like paintings are painted, ie., "self-documenting" -- but this is very hard to do well.

Programming with jupyter notebooks, I'd guess, is more resilient to interruption -- it is more like making a dress or painting a painting. Yes, you need isolation and quiet -- but an interruption neednt be so fatal. You write in your thought process as part of the activity of making the code.
Yes, having the freedom to sell your body on prostitution websites is more freedom. I do not know what the rest of your comment means, but mine is pretty clear that not having to rely on a man to earn money and then give it to them is more independence and freedom than depending on a man to give them money.

PS Isn't it funny that a women "selling her body" on prostitution websites is bad, but a man (or woman) selling their body doing back breaking work for menial wages is OK?
It’s pretty obvious isn’t it? Plug mining rigs into someone else’s power outlet.
Banks are required by law to do this type of tracking on their normal bank accounts and file reports of any suspicious activity they see. The fact that the transactions aren't public means there isn't a third party that can do it and one bank can't follow the chain once a transaction goes to another bank. That work has to be done in the context of a legal investigation.
What's sadder than companies spewing this marketing gobbledygook are the customers and the consulting firms that buy into them. Enterprise (and government) buying decision-making is highly flawed and these smart enterprise software firms as well as government contractors know just the right words and just the right method to sell things that would otherwise not even pass a real sniff test.
Which vaccine did they use? The CDC says the strongest evidence for preventing spread is for the mRNA vaccines.
My suggestion is to get into an unrelated hobby, and you’ll find small opportunities to print things useful to that hobby. Dice shakers or holders for Dungeon and dragons, pick holders for guitar, a case for my belay glasses for climbing, etc
I work remotely 4 days a week these days. I only spend about 45 minutes a week in meetings, and interruptions are extremely rare. I'm happy and very productive.

I have previously worked at places where I was interrupted several times a day, and I think it has a lot to do with a company's culture. Unfortunately, many companies in my country are dominated by sales people, and these people couldn't care less about software developers. Make sure you will be considered a first class citizen before accepting a job offer.
If I could live to 150 and have a reasonably good quality of life (i.e. I still have my mental faculties, move around, see & hear well enough) - that would be ideal. But not if I can't see, hear, think or move around without assistance.

I don't just want to exist longer - I want to live longer.
Along those lines: given how quickly things change these days, I can imagine that living to 120 would be quite bewildering, even if you you could be healthy and mentally coherent at 100.

I don't think it would be uniquely bad for old people to vote though, plenty of brand new ideas are terrible too.
> Time & attention are limited resources. By eliminating the dominant class of bugs you have more time and attention for more subtle bugs.

Beautifully articulated.
> Others said they had so many meetings they couldn't possibly find enough time to have that many meetings in a day (doesn't make sense to me but that's a direct quote).

How doesn't that make sense? If you want to compress all your meetings into one day for every two-week sprint (ten working days), you only need to average 48 minutes a day of meetings to fill that day. That's not an obscene amount.
That seems like a good length. I don't know what my worldviews will be in 10 years, let alone 100. I do know that the things I am most invested in now will take 100-200 years to bear out. I want to see where climate change is going. I want to see what solutions will be implemented and how extreme they will. What will the unintended consequences be? Similarly, how will social and political issues evolve? Will we continue on this trend of humanism? Will violence continue to decline? How will we mitigate our existential threats?

A lot of these questions might not be resolved in another 100 years, but certainly the state of the world will be flipped from my developmental years in that time. I have a feeling that will result in a satisfied conclusion to the story of the world as I see it.
I don’t want to deny people anything, I want to distribute the talent and opportunity for success to bring up the standard of living globally instead of focusing all the success, opportunity and wealth in developed countries.

Is it fair to the less talented people of a developing nation that America takes the best doctors and teachers? Doesn’t that harm the development of that nation?
But also think about how jealous future generations are going to be of us, born in space, never being able to walk on a beach, always having to worry about their space station’s life support systems failing.
Ok, I agree your family might be overreacting, and that it isn't a "big deal" you're not getting the vaccine.

But you really should get the vaccine, at least if you're in a place with abundant supply. There's just no good argument against it. The odds of "putting things in your body" having any effect on you are far less than the odds of getting Covid again, even if those odds are low. And mine as well make your family happy.
You may have missed the point being made

I feel quite certain that I haven't, I just think the point is poorly made and I've spoken specifically to why I think that to be the case. You can get all the recommendations and referrals you want for an infosec professional; nothing stops that person from holding themselves out to be such a professional, quality of work or competency performing it notwithstanding.

You can absolutely suck as a pentester, but still legally hold yourself out to be one and advertise yourself as one to anyone who will hire you.

You can NOT do the same, holding yourself as an attorney or a doctor without very real risk of legal action if you are in fact-not licensed to do either. There are bar associations and medical boards governing various aspects of their work, and how their work is conducted, performs ethics and competency investigations on license holders, and can take away their license to continue working in such capacity if said investigations deem fit. No such governing board or ethical board exists for infosec professionals.

That is a pretty important difference that shouldn't be ignored just to make a petty point about how easy is is to ask for a referral.

Just because there are consequences doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Which is only supplemental to all of this. My entire point is that it happens, and the prudent do the diligence to make sure it doesn't.
