There's also that aspect of building, or creating in general, where if you have more tools, which are easily accumulated on a computer but also in a workshop or creative studio, you'll tend to find a use for them.

I've often found myself in the midsts of a caffeine binging thinking: I've definitely over complicated things for myself here.

In a similar way that the job isn't finished in the workshop until you've cleaned up, overly complicating software has a long tail too.
My guess is that your passion is still there, but you're currently just about maxed out mentally working at the FAANG. (even if you don't think you are)

In my experience, side projects require much more mental effort than initially thought. At different stages of life, we have different levels of available bandwidth.
Fun with flags, my first thought was for Sheldon Cooper. Simple, fast and effective, well done :)
Your comparison is factually incorrect.

The documented death rate of the inquisitions is on the order of 4500 people over 400 years [1]. That’s a rate of 11 people per year.

Aztec sacrifice estimates are on the scale of 20,000 to 250,000 per year. [2]

In actual fact, the Aztecs are in a far worse light than the Dominicans and Franciscans. The Nazi comparison is valid. There’s no society on earth that would end innocent life on that scale for another 500 years.

The best tip I can give, try to answer specific questions in 2-3 sentences. 1-2 sentences to actually answer the question, then 1-2 sentences on your experience with that topic.

If it's an open ended question, answer as concisely as possible, then ask if you've answered their question.

Also, when they ask you to tell them about yourself, don't go on for 5 minutes about your hobby. Tell them a couple of person details if you wish, and then tell them about your career and only touch on the things that are relevant to the job you're applying for.
That’s a pretty big dependency because it won’t work when you’re traveling/at work without your personal pc.
I have one map from the time when I worked in AWS, it has all the undersea cables displayed (the state as of 2018.) and is about 2x1.5 meters in size.
Cool stuff to have hanging on the wall in the home office.
Here’s my anecdote: I have been interviewing before the pandemic for what seemed like 5 years. Rejection after rejection, I really didn’t know how I could improve- my nerves would always take over and sabotage my ability to answer even the most basic of questions.

During my latest bout of interviews, I noticed I was getting a huge % converted to final rounds, and landed 3 offers. I ultimately attributed my better than normal performance in interviews to 2 things:

1. I had to gain the biggest advantage possible among other candidates, so I set up studio lights + dslr as a webcam.

2. I’ve always treated it as a rule to look the interviewer in the eye. So, I didn’t look at my screen during the interviews, but rather directly at my camera lens. I absolutely HATE looking people in the eye when speaking and I think removing this pressure to do so helped immensely.
"The Woke" as you call them, the extremely active, extremely online and extremist faction are an absolutely miniscule number of people, who are neither violent, nor particularly intolerant. The fearmongering about them is completely overblown, this is simply another case of the American penchant for the extreme, rearing its head again. Stirring up a storm by shouting loudly and getting attention in the media is nothing new, and is necessary for bringing attention to problems that the comfortable majority have been able to ignore.

"Police are infallible!" is now "police are infallible?", thanks to activists and media attention on the very real problems faced by minorities in the US. The people who were previously sitting very comfortably and safe on top of the pile are feeling their position threatened, so of course they're afraid of the world becoming more equitable. That's just too bad for them.

The extremists will move to another cause or mellow out, but that spark of activism is needed to effect real social change.

Yes. They mostly wanted me to take a lot of drugs, and there was talk of experimental brain surgery, and I just don’t want any of that - whole damn process just made me more stressed and anxious - so now, I just smoke weed from when I wake to when I pass out.

I’m damaged, but functional - managed to build a house with my own hands this spring, while writing an ISO27k1 ISMS, while living off grid - I don’t just sit around on the couch - hell, don’t have a couch.

So yeah. Coping rather than being cured is the best many can hope for - and I’m just about coping.
I'd like to see the democratisation of chip fabrication.

One thing I keep wondering when I see maps like this: Are they a physically accurate representation (e.g. of how separated the North Atlantic cables get), or are they symbolic representations (e.g. like the London Underground map)?
> In the months after uploading it, an average new Wikipedia article in Chemistry is read tens of thousands of times and causes changes to hundreds of related scientific journal articles. ...

I once thought the result of a programming problem was wrong and questioned the candidate, and he eloquently explained why it was correct.

Now I don't worry about questioning a line of code or result since it is an interesting insight into how the candidate thinks and communicates.

Good article

This is why, while I do use Password Managers, I hate the tiny widgets and prefer to copy/paste or use a typeable password.

Having your password as "@#$!@#-<_" will just annoy you every time you need to type it and/or use it in an automated fashion (because every system gets confused by $, \, /, -, etc, in different ways)

I think you have to be completely deluded to believe that.

Wasn't one of the big promises of crypto anonymity so that it would be the salvation of the prosecuted? And now it's supposed to completely eliminate anonymity and that is supposed to be a good thing?

We have ample hard evidence that the opposite is the case.
It should be obvious to a developer that he/she should test outside of this closed enviroment but, I agree that it's possible many do not.

Wouldn't this be considered Collusion? I heard some other president was accused of the same thing...
It seems no different to me than subpoenaing say, a private clubs membership records.

The danger comes when law enforcement uses the evidence they gather from one case, to target someone who hasn’t committed a crime. Which clearly hasn’t been shown to be done here.
It’s in the FAQ:

“Are the submarine cable paths shown the actual route taken by the cables?

No. The cable routes on our map are stylized and do not reflect the actual path taken by systems.

This design approach makes it easier to follow different cables and discern their landing points. In real life, cables that cross similar areas of an ocean take similar paths. These paths are chosen after comprehensive marine surveys that select routes to avoid hazardous conditions, which could potentially damage a cable.”
Having read the article, I don't understand why this would be described as a major change. It sounds like a visual refresh and some bug fixes — a nice incremental update, sure.

The suggested change to the Store's policies also sounds like a reasonable upgrade, but of the “A whole new Windows Store!” variety, rather than the “A whole new Windows!” variety.

Is there something revolutionary in there that I've missed?
"Ambient musicians aren’t meant to become famous, and particularly Kirby, in his experimental deconstructions of old sampled ballroom music, is perhaps the last musician you would expect to gain any significant recognition."

What's funny is... he isn't famous.

Someone posted a video below that includes some of the videos i saw a year ago. Some busybody must have flagged it, as the comment is marked as dead.
I’d imagine it’s part of the process of attribution for something. If you know they accessed the news site during a time frame it may help with attribution or possibly placing them in a certain location at a certain time - both of which might be important and both of which you may know via some out of band method.

It could also be used to de-anonymise someone if they made an OpSec mistake e.g. accessing the news site outside of Tor or a VPN and you happen to know (via some out of band method) that they did this and so could use it to get their actual-IP.

It wouldn’t be a straight forward “if you accessed a news page you are guilty of something”.

I really like the advice in this.

At the same time, I often find it dispiriting to hear "it takes x amount of time", be that 10 years, 10,000 hours or a lifetime.

While I understand that it is important to have these metrics precisely to dispel the idea that anyone can learn c++ in any meaningful way in 24h, at the same time I find it harder to start something when I am constantly reminded of the fact that nothing I produce will be worth anything compared to those with a giant head start (yes, yes, never compare yourself to others, just to yourself from x time ago).

The 10 year thing means I can meaningfully learn, what, 70 thing in life if I am not spending the vast majority of my time at a full time job? So, that makes it 3-4 things?

How depressing.

Admittedly, I feel I have almost never studied deliberately. I happen to have learned about 3 things to reasonable expertise in my 30 ish years. All three just happened. It was effortless to learn, as it was interesting to learn.

I simply cannot imagine what it would mean to have to dedicate 10 years or 10,000 hours of practice to something I am not interested in. In my own experience I would go so far as to say that I either love something enough to want to do it 8h a day, or not at all.

I wonder if I'll ever find a 4th thing, later in life. I really want to learn more things, but the rule of x hours is discouraging to think about when I have 30 something years less left on this planet than when I started.
Data Sourcing strategy adopted by screeners like TickerTape
Do you know how screeners like TickerTape, Screener.in, etc. source their data? Do they purchase this data or if they have a team that manually sources this data from public sources?
Thanks! I honestly can’t even find their FAQ even now I know they have one…
I think it's worth pointing out that practicing this is hard, at least tome me. Being humorous/funny is one of the points in the book (IIRC), but being funny is often tough when you're angry, frustrated or just tired.

So I agreed that piece-by-piece reading and re-reading help. These tips aren't easy to stick.

As a companion, some parenting books like Positive Discipline [1] might be worth a quick glance. These parenting books have certain similarities with "How to Talk" and some other books in this thread, like "Crucial Conversation". It's eye-opening.

(And I realized that this reply matches a typical anti-pattern called "too much speak". It's hard to put it in practice!)

All it would take is for lithography equipment/chmicals/etc to start being sold to anyone at an affordable price... so, maybe in 50 years.

On that note, you could technically just buy the chips and spend an inordinate amount of time and money building the PCB and firmware.
It would work very well with Bitcoin, which uses a public ledger, but that wouldn't work with fully anonymous cryptocurrencies using zero-knowledge proofs to transmit messages and/or money.

Maths are funny like that.
What about privacy and security?
Did I say that making a stand or bringing out the big guns is bad? No. I said that this specific instance (writing a letter to Tim Cook), him saying "No", and remote advocates having to find work elsewhere means that everything does not in fact work out for everyone. Especially for those of us who are not interested in leaving the company.

I will have to read this. My hope is when i do read there is some stuff in about exploitation. I tend to see exploitative systems kind of like cancer. Many exploitative systems can exist in cities. I wonder if they have made space in the study for studying exploitative practices and reconcentration over time of the products of public effort and how much the networks produced and reproduced end up actually benefiting society, or how much more society could benefit (with different amounts of exploitation) if the system was reorganized in different ways.
I agree, however not always possible

I do not think it's scientific to claim the "brain is physically damaged from not-very-physiological-thing". We do have evidence for brain development that must occur before it is too late (e.g. critical window for language).

Sustained and elevated stress causes damage to the whole body, not just the brain. If understanding what you experienced as brain damage helps you accept how things happened and how things are, then all the more power to you.

But if there is something in your thought patterns that you want to change, but feel hopeless that your brain is damaged, I recommend trying to find another framing aside from "damage".
No, openly agreeing with other government to prevent tax evasion and thereby benefiting all countries involved is not the same thing as clandestinely using resources of a foreign government to influence an election for your personal benefit.
Would it be possible to set up a network like folding@home designed to destroy bitcoin? It would be an interesting state sponsored exercise.
Interviews should consist almost entirely of this dynamic: a conversation, a dialogue, an exploration, of a number of topics, processes and attitudes. Oh, and both ways of course! If you're interviewing for senior position and you don't have anything to ask the interviewer, you're putting a huge red flag on your head (if you've already asked everything in previous interviews, just bring up something in the answers that you found interesting.

The other theory are mass strikes, as seen very recently. A regime won't survive ongoing mass strikes.
I don't code for fun anymore. I haven't for a couple years. Honestly, it all just takes too much time. I enjoy writing code for work; but, at home, I work out, I play video games, I spend time with friends and go on hikes.

I think it's okay for you to not be interested in doing side projects anymore, there's a lot more to life and the world than programming; and, if your heart wants to venture outside of it, then let it! You might find another, wonderful passion :)
Care to provide any sources to that "ample hard evidence"?
I think I invented a faster keyboard than the keyboard
It is not a plane, but a 3D cube. It is divided in 3x3x3 sub-cubes, from bottom to top, and front to back. That is 27 characters. You can multiply that number easily if you use another cube to shift/control into another 3D layer. Since you have to move only 1 centimeter to push a key down, it is more efficient than the traditional plane keyboard.

It doesn’t need to be a lie. You could be seeing that the proposed solution is way better than everything else out there including the existing solution. If only you could fix “<showstopper>” somehow.

We very often have discussions around which solution we take. Often we take the one that we don’t like as much but we know how to make it work. The other solution designs are kept so we can revisit them sometime (or as reference for when somebody says “why don’t you…?”) with fresh minds and then see a new way around the problems we saw before.

In my experience the “<showstopper>“ is almost never a law of physics but a shortcoming of a dependency, either it’s implementation or architecture, or just some assumptions that are or have become invalid later on.
It was, but then they realized that replacing the square corners with round corners wasn't enough of an improvement and out of desperation hired Spın̈al Tap as creative consultants.
Yeah - I was recommended this shortly after I crashed out - good read, interesting insights, and I did find therapy helpful with the more conscious aspects of my collapse.

The bits that won’t go away are the dread, the insomnia, the constant anxious waiting for the sky to fall. I think I’ve pared off the behavioural bits over the years and have largely addressed them - but my mind continues to wrestle with intangible beasts.

My cousin has just qualified as a psychedelic therapist, so later this summer he’s visiting and we’re going to try breaking the cycle.
I have a couple of decent microphones, a mixer and mic stands, which were bought second-hand primarily for karaoke at parties. I've got all the input gear, another friend has a big PA setup, good fun.

Most of the time, those mics and the mixer just live in a bag in my closet, so I thought "why not use them?"

The sound quality from an AKG D5 (a decent, but not fancy mic) through a small mixer with a bit of compression applied is just miles ahead of anything you could get from a headset or a webcam mic.

It is a little hard to avoid getting the mic in the picture, but with a bit of creativity, it works well enough when placed just above the top of the frame.

Overall I agree, but couldn't Edward steal the users' Facebook cookies regardless of WebAuthn? I think those last until the user clicks logout, so many of them will last forever.

Additionally, Edward can steal the cookies of every user using Facebook for that hour. But he can only steal the passwords of a small fraction of those users, because only a small fraction will start a new session; most users will use existing sessions (because the cookies last forever).

Something appears to be wonky with the ICC profile embedded in this image. And while I have no idea whether the file itself complies with applicable standards, I can say that ImageMagick is not a reliable test in this case. To wit:

1. Per Photoshop, "The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile is invalid."

2. After using the OS X Preview.app "Assign Profile" command to replace the embedded ICC profile with the system-supplied sRGB profile, the image displays correctly in Safari.

3. The ImageMagick display command is apparently ignoring the embedded profile and assuming sRGB, as it continues to display the image correctly even when I replace the embedded profile with an obviously incorrect (but valid and correctly interpreted by Photoshop and Safari) profile.
