What I Learned During My Programming Job Hunt in the Middle of a Pandemic
Fermi tangent: I wonder if the Fermi paradox is a bit of a fallacy of reverse casualty in a similar vain to asking - how come we end up in the Goldilocks zone around a star? Because sentient life is not likely to appear in other conditions.

Why are there no aliens making contact? Because if there were such aliens it would be a high probability that they wouldn't want to leave earth alone and then humanity wouldn't have a chance to evolve here.

In other words, any surrounding aliens or non-aliens that have left earth alone for enough time for humans to have evolved are unlikely to suddenly want to make contact at any certain point of our development.
I think it makes sense to target C++11. Just that you shouldn't then call the library "modern".
Great name! Seriously, it's the perfect union of GOV and COM. Perfect!

I'm wondering what the situation is for US corporations owned by non-US residents. I think in order to contract for US government, via these public tender processes you need at least one US-resident owner/executive.

Anyway, this whole area complex. Great work on what you're out to achieve! :p ;) xx
I have no intuition for this, as it is not modeled in KSP :)

I’m trying to imagine a collision cascade that would generate debris with a significantly higher apoapsis than the original satellites… perhaps a head-on collision between prograde and retrograde orbits that ends up “squirting” some debris at extreme velocity in the normal/antinormal direction? Alternately, an object on a highly elliptical orbit (probably already space junk) near its periapsis with max kinetic energy hitting a satellite prograde?

The compiler is blind to them, so they can't be reasoned about / carried forward anywhere / allowed for in one way or another.

Moreover, because of `#define`s, the effect of including a file can be entirely different, so a compiler can never say "Oh, I know what's in this include file already, I don't need to include it again in other translation units".

Of course #define's have many uses, and at present cannot be avoided entirely, but C++ has been making an effort to have other mechanisms put in place so as to obviate the use of #define's

In particular, look for CppCon talks about Modules.
Actually, I think that the grammar for a C string with escapes characters is regular. The only bit I am worried about are the back-slash octal and back-slash hexadecimal notations. But they are not relevant if you want to detect escaped quotes in strings.
That's not true. There are multiple bases for data processing in the GDPR that are not dependent on consent: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...

What I couldn't immediately see from skimming the repo is:

How hard would it be to use a docker-based automatic https proxy such as this [1] with all projects?

I've had a handfull of docker-based services running for many years and love the convenience. What I'm doing now is simply wrap the images in a bash script that stops the containers, snapshots the ZFS volume, pulls newer versions and re-launches everything. That's then run via cron once a day. Zero issues across at least five years.

The quest to recreate a lost and ‘terrifying’ medieval mead
You've decided to get personal. Will top candidates be filtered out based on some issues related to breaking resume norms? Probably not. Bill Gates could write a resume on a napkin in ketchup and get an interview.

It mainly makes a difference for candidates in more competitive situations - give a recruiter two resumes with somewhat parallel experience, and the better resume (based on writing style, obeying stylistic norms, etc.) is probably more likely to get the interview.

As for a "scam", my results are hard to argue with, and most clients seem to think the investment was a good one. Many of my clients come to me after having failed to get interviews for their dream jobs, and after working with me their fortunes often change. Many of my clients approach me trying to get jobs at places like FAANG companies, while many others just are looking to work at places most people have never heard of.

Would you like to be done now? We both have better things to do.
It is kind of funny how humans cannot exist without putting garbage all around the places they visit.
Well since Apple gets away scot-free and legions of Apple fans defend Apple's policy to the death, one can fully understand why Microsoft is going this route. They can always point to Apple being the deeply-admired trend-setter for removal of choice.

You can use any browser of your choice if its a Microsoft Edge theme.

You can always switch operating systems if you don't like this after all.

I think it's not really a problem of what is being looked for, but the mere fact that it will be done without a warrant on a personal device.
Cantilever design will be fine for small machines. One of the bigger problems of the design would be keeping one's work piece attached to the table.

The Available Evidence That Tether and Bitfinex Committed Bank Frau
Yikes. When I was making video games I either released them all myself or licensed completed games, so I didn't see contracts like this, but I can believe this is the norm. I guess it's a good thing I mostly have small designs I can build myself, for the most part (gotten a lot harder for me to do now, I haven't released anything in a while).

I have seen several board game publishing contracts and none of those that I've seen put the burden on the designer to pay the cost of developing a game further after signing (and there's pretty much always extra development done by the publisher after signing). That being said you're not likely to make much (any?) money as a designer in board games anyway unless you are really prolific. It really has to be a thing you do for the love of it rather than as a viable career. Thankfully it's (mostly) a fun process.
Apple explicitly states that it is reviewed manually.

I didn't get that feeling. If he truly did that the tweets would end in the middle of a sentence.

I also don't think the summary covered all of the interesting things in this story. No, I think the tweets told it in a good way, split up in bite-sized chunks.
well yes, its somewhere way out in BIGGANs space, its expected to be.
> They are trying to prevent CSAM images from being stored and distributed using Apple products.

If what Apple is aiming for is a more complete version of E2EE on their servers, maybe that's just an unintended consequence of the implementation, and the very reason why they're surprised that this received so much pushback. If Apple wanted to offer encryption for all user files in iCloud and leave no capability to decrypt the files themselves, they'd still need to be able to detect CSAM to protect themselves from liability. In that case, scanning on the device would be the only way to make it work.

If that were the case, I still wouldn't believe that moving the scan to the device fundamentally changes anything. Apple has to conduct a scan regardless, or they'll become a viable option for criminals to store CSAM. But in Apple's view, their implementation would mean they'd likely be the first cloud company that could claim to have zero knowledge of the data on on their servers while still satisfying the demands of the law.

Supposing that's the case, maybe what it would demonstrate is that no matter how you slice it, trying to offer a fully encrypted, no-knowledge solution for storing user data is fundamentally incompatible with societal demands.

But since Apple didn't provide such an explanation, we can only guess what their strategy is. They could have done a lot better job at describing their motivations, instead of hoping that the forces of public sentiment would allow it to pass like all the other scanning mechanisms actually had in the past.

This is how Google operates. "We've updated our privacy policy to give you more control over how your data is used". And then it sounds like they are introducing privacy, when in fact they are taking it away, and you're lucky if the option they've given you restores the prior behavior. These privacy policies are written by lawyers and are a masterclass in simultaneously being vague as hell while being completely defensible in court and also as broad as possible. They go right up to the edge of the law on what they can do with your data and then fall back on "we don't sell your data to other companies". That's technically true. They just buy the other companies or start competing with them and hide it all behind "huminah huminah make our products better". The updates even sound completely innocent and unless you can intuit the technical architecture behind the product, you have no chance of really understanding what this clause really means for your privacy. By design.

Having read the actual privacy design docs behind some of these products....well, I'll just stop there.

Why can you rely on a cryptographic key staying secret, but not on a trained model staying secret? Both are pieces of binary data that you keep on your own machines and do not give to others.

> e.g. the ongoing Uyghur genocide or the takeover of HK

Both of which are major issues relating to the policies of the sitting UK governement. Like many outlets, the BBC only recently discovered the plight of of the Uyghur people when it became politically interesting.

When the UK government policy was the transition of power in Hong Kong to the Chinese was a good thing, the BBC faithfully reported that this was a good thing, without challenge.

When the case for weapons of mass distruction was being made, the BBC faithfully reported those without any skepticism, in accordence with UK governemnt policy at the time.

Obviously this is not proof or even a suggestion that they are not to be trusted, but it is pretty clear that editorially at least, the position of the UK governement, who effectively appoints the BBC Board, Chairman and Director General is of great importance to the stories that are reported.

Apple can literally execute any code they want on any of the devices users are licensing from them.

Those that exchange money for Apple devices are under the very mistaken impression that they own them or have any reasonable expectation of privacy on them.
> I'd rather be poor in a better world than rich in a dystopia.

The problem is that we all end up being poor in a dystopia. The regulatory capture of industries is an ongoing thing. When 20 years ago you could start your own business in your garage, without substantial capital, today you are dependent on "Angel investors" and bank loans, which is an equivalent of having to be referred into a "club". If you can't find an investor, it will take you a lifetime to save money to start a business, if you are lucky. Take notice that all taxation is being shifted to workers to limit their chances of raising capital and creating competition.
I've been using this app for the past few days and it's wildly good. I've compared it to MindDoc and Woebot and the exercises you offer are so much better than those two apps.

My only request is to please refrain from gating too many of the features behind expensive subscription services. There is a sustainable commercial model out there, but it's not $10 p/m to access past moodlogs (MindDoc)

I guess I'm one of those people mentioned on the rationle who keeps little servers ($5-10 Droplets) and runs a few apps on them. (Like a couple of Node/Go apps, a CouchDB, a Verdaccio server). I also haven't had issues with things breaking as I do OS updates. Seems like it would be nice though just to have a collection of dockerfiles that could be used to deploy a new server automatically. My current "old fashioned" way has been very doable to me but my big question before jumping to some Docker-based setup is, does running everything on Docker take a huge hit on the performance/memory/capabilities of the machine? Like could I still comfortably run 4-5 apps on a $5 Droplet? Assuming I would have seperate containers for each app? I'm having trouble finding info about this.
I won't use edge for this reason alone. Perhaps it's not a bad browser but I don't want to reward Microsoft's behaviour.

I use it at work on my Mac as it's our official browser at work (after significant pressure from Microsoft) but for personal use I greatly prefer Firefox. It's a much better browser anyway.
The RR format can be made more efficient. TXT records can contain multiple character strings of up to 255 bytes, and despite their name can contain arbitrary octets. A step further from there would be to use a private use type (65280-65534) so your payload doesn't need to be cut into length byte prefixed chunks.

Humans are exceptional in this regard as that can expand beyond the limits, and at the expense of, all other known species. Humans are also exceptional in that they could extinguish themselves, either by choice on their own folly.

A Startup Boom Born in the Pandemic Is Growing Stronger
It always baffled me how Apple is allowed to limit its users to only browsers based on its proprietary engine and nobody bats an eye but everyone throws a fit when Microsoft pushes Edge.

Not trying to defend either, it's just the double standards feel puzzling to me.
What’s the double speak? It’s quite clear they are trying to maintain e2e encryption while also achieving CSAM scanning. Google/Facebook/Microsoft do this by scanning everything unencrypted. Apple do it while maintaining encryption and are being punished for it. It’s insane.
One is matching a face--yes, concerning, and I don't like it but IMO Google has had a much worse privacy reputation for quite some time--and the other is reporting private data to law enforcement and potentially abusive parents. It's quite a bit different.

The difference can also be seen from a customer service perspective. One is a feature that lets you sort according to which friends you were with. The other is a feature that puts you in jail. No thanks. Not gonna pay money for that.
Something like that is unlikely to happen because the US is not — for now — an authoritarian state.

Replace “FBI” and “Biden” with their equivalents in various other countries and yes, it’s absolutely plausible.

So far I've found that "restart: always" in the compose.yml is enough for my home server apps. In the rare case that one of the services is down, I can SSH in and have a quick look - after all it's one of my home servers, not a production pod on GKE :p

> I don't see humans completely overcome their biological nature any time soon, if ever.

Not intentionally, but we've managed to create societies where reproduction is extremely costly in every conceivable way and are even working to convince people that reproduction is outright tyrannical, sexist, and environmentally genocidal.

The instinct will certainly remain, but population decline seems inevitable the way things are going. Even a few decades from now, the human breadbaskets of the developing world adopt the anti-natalist systems we have in the developed world.
I haven't noticed any performance degradation (though granted, these are small apps), and my home server is 10 years old (and was slow even then).
Apple doesn't have a de facto monopoly on the mobile OS market. They have a small majority in the US but everywhere else they're much lower. There's no one big player that dominates the market.

Microsoft does on the desktop market. Like 95% . This is why antitrust rules were applied to them before and hopefully will be again.

I strongly disagree, they're little more than pointless nagware designed as a fig leaf over the gaping privacy issues on the modern web.
