Sure, yes, I won't name names here but I've worked with some wonderful programmers who I learned a ton from, and who pretty much set my life direction. It occurs to me though, that those were in organizations with almost no management interference in the tech stuff. Maybe today's corporate environments can't stand that.

I think I understand some of the dysfunction, but not quite well enough to write it down. It's the same mentality that leads to putting programmers in noisy open-plan offices though.
SEEKING WORK | Europe | Remote Only | Server security

I offer practical and affordable cybersecurity services, namely - intrusion detection and prevention system, which will protect your Linux based server from security threats, by inspecting and blocking malicious traffic coming from the internet.

This is how it works:

Install, configure and remotely maintain open source Suricata or Snort IDS software and apply needed traffic inspection rules, which suites your server environment the best.
Then all the outgoing/incoming traffic on your server is decrypted and inspected with so called IDS signatures/rules of common attacks and other malicious activity patterns, and if it matches any - request gets blocked, before it ever reached your webserver process.

With this solution it doesn't even matter what kind of backend solution is running on the server, traffic
is inspected and blocked if needed, before it reaches the end process – apache, nginx, tomcat or whatever it might be. This also means traffic doesn't have to be redirected via 3rd party like cloudflare.
This way we can thwart common internet malicious activity - vulnerability exploits, scanners, botnets, login bruteforcing, SQL injections. So you can basically host a 10 years old WordPress installation and all exploit attempts will be blocked.

I can also write custom IDS rules for your specific application, to block malicious activity/attacks against it. Tell my what kind of issues your server/product is dealing with and we can discuss if this IDS solution can possibly help the cause. We also use shared threat intel, so if a new botnet is out there and already attacking servers - your server will know to block those IP addresses.

All the work is already automated, onboarding new server for full protection takes about 5 minutes. Then actual work is applying needed rules for particular environment and weeding out any false positive signature matches.

>>Do we need the „innovation“ of untraceable money?

Yes. We need untraceable money. Controlling how people use money is tantamount to controlling all of their economic interactions. Surveilling how people use their money means becoming privy to their most intimate interactions. This is mass-surveillance, of everything (because money touches everything), being snuck through the backdoor.

With the transition from physical to digital currencies, we've created surveillance systems the likes of which the world has never seen. The information collection being done on the population is being done by a tiny proportion of the population, and disproportionately benefiting the political elite. Hyper-centralization exacerbates income and power disparities, and I would bet any money it leads to a more fragile social order.

>>In the last 20 years of available data, real median household income of Washington, D.C.’s residents has increased by 66.11%. For the entire country, the 20-yr increase is only 5.23%. This trend of widening disparity has accelerated dramatically since the Great Recession’s onset.

We need the more distributed configuration of power that historically existed, and that can only happen if the privacy that is characteristic of physical currencies is imparted upon digital currencies.

> Having to solve a problem that you're not _initially_ equipped to solve is often how you _become_ equipped...

That's been true in my experience. Almost every step forward in my career development has involved a very uncomfortable and uncertain adjustment period. It helps immensely to have people around who are curious, receptive to questions and who can empathize and provide some guidance.

It seems that the more heavily project-management-oriented a workplace is, the less slack there is for this kind of career development. It's not uncommon to have workplace cultures where one has to prove themselves in some kind of "sink-or-swim" or "show-how-you've-suffered" scenario before they are deemed "worthy" of consideration. It's sort of visible in the culture of stackoverflow which I think of as a kind of microcosm of the attitude in many workplaces.
Text inside script tags is parsed as JavaScript by default. It can be other languages too, like typescript inside a .Vue file.

Again, it’s all just text in different syntax. Programming languages are just a very large and well defined syntax compared to a template language, but that’s all it is.

Vue’s directives offer just enough control to handle 99% of scenarios while remaining within HTML.

Ha! I hadn't seen this particular paranoia-mixed-with-delusions-of-grandiosity for a while. In the first year or so of Bitcoin, the community was absolutely obsessed with the idea that "the Fed's" will come for them, to protect the mighty dollar. They were also certain they could withstand such efforts, since their fancy tech operated outside the reaches of the law.

They were wrong on both counts: "the establishment" didn't react with aggressive attempts to shut them down, but really just some mild interest mixed with a bit of amusement.

Only when, after a decade+, it had been proven beyond any doubt that the technology isn't useful for anything anyone cares about, and when it became more salient that the energy usage and the scale of fraud were growing out of control did they start pushing back. And with every single startup in the sector operating within the confines of law and the existing financial markets, there is absolutely no doubt that the law can regulate and/or shut down the industry within any reasonable meaning of the term.

You mean that the IRS frequently doesn't have the funds to prosecute them.
> Unfortunately, in the final draft, [class.pre] grammar makes the name mandatory even though the language you quote remains in the first textual paragraph following the grammar specification!

That's pretty strange, considering e.g. this paper for quite some time ago:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p022... which is written as if anonymous structs always were a thing.

I wonder if there isn't a deep confusion somewhere where "anonymous" and "unnamed" mean different things to different persons.

The actionable claims question is the hot question; the rest sort of is answered by that indirectly. It's mainly interesting from the point of view that a positive answer could cause commercial entities to ban the usage of co-pilot (and similar tools) in their organizations to avoid such claims. So, it could potentially be very damaging. Stackoverflow would be a nice example where people learn from each other where no doubt bits of IP from companies and OSS repositories gets mingled as well.

My impression is that these claims would not be actionable for a few simple reasons:

- The generated code is pretty small.

- The generated code is adapted to the context (i.e. not a vebatim copy).

- The generated code would be common to many repositories and not just one.

Because of all of the above, tracing any code fragment to a specific repository and then defending a claim would probably be very hard/impossible. Copyright is about the form of things and if it's not a verbatim copy of something really unique, it's hard to make the case for an infringement.
Is there a library nearby? They probably do printing.

Besides, mixing different topics is the only way anything can every be done: If you have a single issue you're fighting over with someone, zero-sum style, the best possible advice is to included something unrelated in the discussion, hoping that your interests differ in such a way that you can make trades beneficial to both parties.

It's not uncommon for corporations to hire PI and target certain clients/customers/competitors ,for petty reasons or even to dig dirt on them, and it might count as stalking yes. One day when I'm retired I might tell my story.

But this case is just one step above all that. Who knows what these employees and executives did to others before, I hardly believe this was an isolated case at eBay.
I find that very unlikely. I think the result will be similar to what has happened to the electronics industry.

For those who aren’t aware, PCB design used to be an automated task, done by software with minor tweaks. The thing is, complexity had a positive payoff, so soon we had trained technicians doing layout. Right now most PCB layout require so much technical knowledge most people working in layout are engineers with masters degree.

Of course there’s also a lot of cheap electronics where complexity doesn’t payoff and cutting development cost it’s what matters, but it’s not most of the market.

As long as you keep learning and improving, you are likely to see an increase of demand, not a decrease, although the job will be quite different.

After police stopped his vehicle, Charles fled the vehicle and was pursued by police into a shop, where he placed an object into his mouth and resisted arrest. The officer, who wore a body camera, threw Charles to the ground, held him down by the neck, and tried to reach inside his mouth. A member of the public helped him restrain Charles. Charles "became ill", was given emergency treatment at the scene, and was taken by ambulance to Royal London Hospital, where he died later that morning. The object Charles tried to swallow was reportedly recovered at the scene.

From the list of examples, only the Portland grafitti suggesting cops be killed seems valid to me. Defunding police is something I'd assume cops could be very much for, assuming they understand the intention behind. It's isn't a "let's get rid of police" as much as it is "let's reduce the scope of police responsibility". This way, people who might have a mental or drug problem are met by health care professionals, rather than people with guns. If I were a cop, I'd be all for it.

> The certificate issues were more specifically related to Apple devices not liking that an accepted certificate had expired, and a new one had taken its place, and wouldn't even allow for the updated certificate to be "trusted" in place of the expired one. On Android I'd have to accept a new certificate to trust, and it allowed me to do so - although possibly this resulted in the requirement to re-login

Huh, that doesn't sound right. You shouldn't be having to accept anything -- a renewed certificate should just work, transparently, without any interruption. You shouldn't even notice it changed.

Given that a large part of the web now uses LetsEncrypt, if this wasn't so, you would've already had problems on other websites as well.

This may have been the case if you managed to lose your keys. This is quite unlikely now since (encrypted) server-side backup of keys is supported. Additionally, if you have more than one device, one of them will likely continue to have keys and can share them with the new device once it is verified.

This is exactly the point of vue. On the surface, it looks a lot like a cleaner angularjs, but it's very different. There's no need for a digest cycle to re-evaluate watch expressions on each iteration, because it uses getters and setters to detect changes (though it still supports watchers too). Vue is also very different from React, which (when I last used it) required components to implement shouldComponentUpdate. Vue does this at the cost of breaking compatibility with older browsers (which were not old at all when React and Angular 1.0 came out); I think the tradeoff is worth it.

One of the interesting corner cases of leap second is in traffic enforcement. It you are building section control traffic enforcement system, you measure the t1 at point on entry and t2 at exist. Because of you know the length of a section , distance over time difference becomes your speed. But when you have leap second, you might just get a fine for driving at jet-fuelled speed on your grandpa's car.
