I don't think that's the correct analogy. I would phrase it more like, "The constraints of being at a bar encourage you to drink alcohol." Of course, you can go to a bar and order a Coca Cola or whatever. But that's not what the bar is set up for. Similarly, you certainly can go on Twitter and post anodyne thoughts about anodyne topics. But that's not what Twitter is set up for.

Qodana: Code Quality Monitoring Platform
Let me give you an example - see if you can figure out who will pay and how much. The answer may surprise you.

Husband / driver falls asleep at the wheel while trying to speed home (going 70-80MPH). Weaves and then veers sharply off the freeway, hitting a parked vehicle parked well clear of the roadway and killing themselves, damaging the parked vehicle and causing pain and suffering to driver of parked vehicle.

Wife and family brings suit against driver and company owning parked vehicle for damages including funeral and burial costs, unreimbursed medical expenses, other out-of-pocket expenses, loss of income and financial support, loss of insurance coverage, loss of love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society, and moral support.

Questions you may wish to consider.

Family bringing case has no money - there is no chance of collection. Guy falling asleep and running off the road was only source of income.

Company owning parked vehicle has money - there is a high chance of collection on any judgement.

Who will pay out in CA. The guy causing the situation by running off the road and smashing into a parked vehicle at 80 MPH? Or the company owning the vehicle he smashed into.

In CA - the answer may surprise you. And the size of awards may surprise you.
Needed a flashback to the 90s tonight, thank you. Our 3k+ Windows VMs sitting in a datacenter would tend to disagree.

There are a lot of good answers about segregation, diligence and security in this thread. Knee jerk "windows!!!!" replies aren't good at all.
And Open64 was the basis for nvcc (not sure if it still is anymore).
Neat! Modern thin-client life is actually pretty good. Connectivity of some kind is ubiquitous enough these days that my computer for the last couple of years has been an Arch VM in a local Linode datacenter.

I don't need to fuss with file syncing solutions because I only ever access them from the one machine, I just happen to access that machine remotely. Backups are seamlessly handled by Linode snapshotting my disk every so often. I can happily run little webservers, etc, with pretty decent availability.

The thing that sits on my desk is a second hand, small form factor ThinkCentre I picked up dirt cheap when some corp was done with it. All it needs to do is run a terminal ssh'ed into a Tmux session and a local instance of Firefox. I get basically the same experience whether I'm at my desk, on my iPad or using Blink on my phone.

It's actually made me _less_ concerned about my unreliable broadband connection. If my main link goes down, I just hotspot to the 4G on my phone. The latency is a little worse but the bandwidth isn't actually relevant. All my chonky uploads like build artifacts, docker images, etc, all go direct from my Linode to wherever they need to go. Very civilised.
That's the default, not just in Google but it pretty much any US company (and probably elsewhere). If you think that's draconian, here's a very good explanation: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2016/12/09/developers-side-pr...

A caveat is that, in California, you own your project provided that (1) you didn't use any company resource, (2) you didn't do it on work hours, and (3) your project is not related to anything that the company does. Of course, in case of Google, it does pretty much everything, which means Google can easily claim anything you do as its own. (IANAL, don't quote me on this.)

We each have a preferred ambient temperature for maximum comfort. Let's use data (specifically, National Climatic Data Center) to find the ideal location in the world that provides that environment.

Well, it's more complicated than that. We have to consider daily maximums and minimums, as well as deviation of daily temperature from your ideal. But you get the idea. Read the code for the gory details!

CoAP is binary HTTP (solid request / response), with extras:

- async reception (consider like a socket, really just a long lived multiple response to a GET) using the Observe feature

- Optional responses

- block transfers, handy way to reliably send large files over UDP

- built-in proxy options

- ability to one to many with a multicast

- because it extends HTTP first; it’s pretty easy to translate it to HTTP

- CoAP extends easily, like OSCORE or LwM2M for end to end encryption or other features

- Happy to transfer over datagram/UDP, TCP, MQTT, Dixie cups and string, etc

As where… MQTT 3.1.1 has almost none of these features, with MQTT v5 finally adding some in. But MQTT v5 is also not really supported well.

EMTs do indeed make more than the minimum wage. They averaged $17.62/hour last year. Teachers do a lot better than that, at the same source K-12 teachers are around $60k average. Of course, they don't start there, starting somewhere closer to that EMT pay straight out of school in many states.

I realize replying to yourself demonstrates poor taste... But I'd like to add that at the time of the interview I had software I had personally designed at companies like DirecTV, Samsung, LG, Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Google and Applied Materials.

I'd like to see something like this combined with daylight hours. When daylight savings ends in November and twilight starts being as early as 5pm the lack of sunlight makes me feel pretty gloomy. I find myself much happier when it's still a bit bright outside at 7pm. Good weather is nice but I think daylight affects my wellbeing a lot more!

I dream of someday being able to spend those couple months of "it's pitch black outside at 6pm" somewhere else in the world with more sun.
It wasn't fake info. I used a shortened version of my last name. This is the name I go by because my last name is difficult to pronounce. They had my full last name via my email address and the credit card I used with them. I did not attempt to hide anything, and gave them the same information I use everywhere else on the internet.

Also you are correct, they may have thought they didn't owe me anything, including an apology. They valued my three weeks worth of effort at nothing and before apologizing at least one person attempted to tell me this was my fault.

3 weeks may not seem like a lot of time, but I was spending 16 hour days sometimes getting things up and running because I was excited about what I was building.

When it all got deleted in the middle of the setup, I didn't have the heart or the energy to rebuild everything. I tried, but I didn't have an extra month that I could spare, and was so disheartened from all of the work that I lost that I was not able to regain the momentum that I had and had to move on to other things to be able to support myself.

I know it doesn't seem like much, and I know to them I was nothing, which will forever cement this in my mind as the worst experience I have had with a company to date.

I was so upset about this I spent several days digging up personal contact information for their executives to voice my displeasure, but in the end decided against it because nobody I had talked to at the company seemed to care, and as both you and I are suggesting, it's just a hard lesson in "you get what you pay for"

I should not have expected quality service when trying to cheap out and go with a low-cost vendor. It was a very difficult lesson to learn, and hopefully someone learns from my mistake.

I'm not suggesting not to use them, only reminding people not to make my mistake and host their backups with a third party from day one.

Stuff like this is useless for families. See his schedule. 7-830AM, time for "journaling"? Laughable. Try:

0600-0800 handling a bunch of small, very active and loud kids while doing laundry, kitchen, making breakfast, preparing lunch, dealing with constant messes, clothes.

0900-1200: deep (?) work, while constantly knowing you need to do like 12 baskets of laundry.

1200-1215: "lunch"

1215-1300: dealing with issue at school and sick family members.

3PM: "jimmy" comes over and poops his pants, sticks hands in poop and draws on walls.

1700: everybody is home again and the madness only now begins in earnest.

2000: "me"-time.

2100: winding down and preparing next day.

2200-0600: catch like 6 hours of sleep becayse of screaming baby, pissed pants, nightmares, whatever. All at once sometimes.

> For example, is there no way that the call options could be purchased on the other side by a friendly party that is a participant in the game?

This is very hard to do (read effectively impossible) as an individual person and not an institution. Trades, especially options, go through a brokerage/market maker.

As an individual, there's no way to tell your brokerage to sell "these contracts" to "this person". Which means you would have create "the sale of call option contract" as physical paper? I'm doubtful that's even possible. After you have to manually sell it. It still needs to be declared as a security transfer/sale[0]. THEN you would need to back that contract with the stocks that likely still sit inside a brokerage. The "other participant" would have to then exercise that contract which would "pull" the stock from your account to the "participant's" account.... Would this be done in a brokerage? all outside? Seems impossible as a regular person.

For institutions there is such thing as block trades that happen outside of market, but they're specifically licensed/authorized to do this.

> Chrome hates http with such a passion that there must be some evil motive behind it that I'm not seeing.

I think it is just that Google wants exclusive access to your data. With http, your ISP can also understand your browsing habits. Then they devalue Google's ad profile that they have painstakingly created. So Google is pushing for https, which would exclude ISPs and other intermediaries from profiling you. Note that Google's ability to spy on you is un-curtailed since you are using Chrome and even signing in with your google account.

A disingenuous article where the author tries to push his agenda of not banning critical race theory by tying it with an article that he said a publisher didn’t want published.

The issue is that critical race theory shouldn’t be banned but it itself pushes the silencing of other voices. Why not stand for the more general notion of not banning voices, of independent thought, and of trying to discover truth?

> A nightmare for privacy and security given that they have the data (and likely the means to unlock it).

365 customers' data is fully encrypted and MS cannot just decrypt it with a click of a button, it is also sharded across multiple storage silos, so that it cannot even be copied out of your tenant unless you are the customer. They also have a 'high encryption' option where the encryption key can be held on-premises and not in any MS data-centre.

> A nightmare for openness given that data interchange will be discouraged in favor of the walled garden.

I have no idea where you got this idea from, or what you even mean. 365 is a platform. If you want to run Linux VMs in it, you can. If you want to reach out and exchange data with non MS services like other cloud apps outside of 365 (or even on-premises apps) you can.

Picture your own personal datacentre full of kit but run by someone else. That is the 365 experience. I'm not someone who drinks the MS Kool-aid, but I do know the facts as I work in a MS partner company. If you'd said something similarly wrong about AWS, I would defend that too.
This is a more apt description of your own comments, not least because you misattributed a completely fictitious "argument" to the GP. Perhaps your anger is clouding your ability to understand the GP's comments, which have been very respectful.
obviously you should read the contract before signing with $MEGACORP_THAT_PAYS_YOUR_BILLS, and I agree with (1) and (2) and (3) kinda sorta not really since it basically just implies you are a work machine, but it just seems so rife with the potential for abuse.

Thankfully I haven't heard of many other cases of this getting people in too much trouble other than Serge Aleynikov and his case with GS (and honestly, it was stupid of him to upload even open source code from work computer to a remote server).

I worked at GS and it was the most locked down development environment ever, so it wouldn't even be feasible/productive for you to "accidentally" work on side projects on these machines. Most security/audit trainings were around "Really - if you do this, you will instantly be teleported into the center of the nearest neutron star"
> children are expensive and you probably shouldn't have them if you can't afford them

Until the US has universal, free contraception (and education about contraception), as well as easy access to their constitutional right to an abortion, this is not a fair argument.

Lots of people are actively misinformed about contraception in conservative public schools, and their access to abortion may be hindered by their state government.

The end result is that some people accidentally have children, and society shares the consequences of that one way or another.

I think the olden days of photography with the limits on the rolls etc, created some great photographers. You didn't have an infinite supply of film at your disposal so every shot had to be thought through.

Action and sports photography is an exception to this since you just click as many photos as you can to capture the right moment.

So I wonder if the explosion of digital cameras and smartphones have helped in creating better photographers. One argument could be that now there are lot more people who are taking up photography and some of them eventually will figure out the intricacies of the craft and become better photographers. Kind of like the 80-20 rule. On the flip side there is also a lot of noise (people just clicking photos), which is fine I think.
