Squatting on DoD / MoD ranges is rampant. Rogers and T-Mobile have done it.

My employer squats on... another popular range... for a secondary non-routed network. They can't be bothered to egress filter it on the primary routed network so we sometimes have misconfigured systems trying to ship data off to random servers on another continent.
This is missing so much information that there’s no point in trying to answer. You need to provide data around the sales person performance, comp, etc.

Even though our dev environment at work is Ubuntu, I greatly prefer running Windows on my ThinkPad X1 Extreme, because of the superior hardware support for the devices I use. Specifically:

• I spend a fair amount of time on Zoom calls (who doesn't?), and I like to use my Apple AirPods so I can move around while we talk. I was never was able to get these or any other Bluetooth headset to work on Ubuntu. They pair only as headphones with no microphone. On Windows they work "out of the box".

• I use a triple-monitor configuration with three 4K displays: the ThinkPad's internal 15" display and two 24" externals. In Ubuntu I can only get two displays to work. (BTW one external display is in landscape mode above the ThinkPad, and the other is to the left in portrait mode. I highly recommend this configuration - the portrait mode display is great for reading docs and especially PDF files.)

• I run the external displays at 200% scaling and the internal at 300% to match the differing pixel density. I didn't see any way to support this configuration in Ubuntu, much less be able to move an app window between displays and have it automatically update its scaling factor to match the display. This works "out of the box" in Windows.

So I run Windows on the hardware and Ubuntu with my dev tools like PyCharm and SmartGit in a VMware VM. (VMware works a lot better for this than VirtualBox - the display response is much snappier.)

Of course these are my own needs, and I have no quarrel with anyone who has different preferences. But I welcome anything Microsoft can do to make this an even smoother experience than it already is.
For one thing, there's absolutely no standard on the titles and they mean entirely different things at different companies.

Company A: A developer just installs and configures off-the-shelf software along with plugins or modules to develop a solution, but they can't really program. A programmer does all the hard work of planning and designing, understanding the system, creating custom code to solve problems, and instructing the developer what off-the-shelf parts to use and how to configure them.

Company B: A programmer just follows instructions from a developer to churn out code, they don't have to solve problems or understand the system. A developer develops the solution, from planning based on requirements, to figuring out the whole system and coding structure and giving instructions to programmers.

Same titles, opposite roles.

Then you get to Comp Sci vs Engineering discussion. That's a whole other can of worms.

Sure, someone might not be doing Big O analysis of a system or whatever. But how often do you really need to outside academia? In a lot of jobs, most performance problems are caused by a few things like cartesian products and/or bad indexes in a database query, or some code that loops doing a query for each thing to fetch data then processing the data, then looping to do additional queries to update the database (when the whole thing could be done with one query, at least with a minor change to the schema), or loops that call a network request for each item. You don't need a detailed theoretical mathematical analysis on a graphing calculator to recognize and solve things like that.

Another is an open endpoint - sure it might not do anything problematic from a security standpoint, and if you set up another system to call it once a day or once an hour it'll be fine. But what if some outsider sets up a system to call it once per second, or a botnet that calls it several times per second? Again, you don't need any complicated formulas to see that that will be a problem.

So sure, there might be some difference in attitude/approach of a comp sci person vs an engineer vs a developer vs a programmer vs an architect. But companies don't know the difference and just give you whatever title they think sounds good. As a pragmatic software person, I don't care what they call me; I just concern myself with whether I can recognize and solve (or better design to prevent) the problems.

Not even going to mention the credentialism regarding degrees.

For a long time, like you, I called myself "programmer", which to me encompasses all of it. But it turns out some business people take a very different view of the terms, so now I just go along with whatever title they want to give me. As long as I can handle the job well, that's what I am.
As interesting as that is, it is not a measurement of productivity.

I did suspect that’s the only piece of data that “2-3x” person keeps posting about all over this thread though.
They don't make money at search, they make money on advertising.
I have almost the same setup (using an 800 G4 mini), and a thunderbolt display.

This mostly works, but it's pretty terrible. If the display goes to sleep (say after a period of inactivity) it's impossible to wake up. Also, if I plug it in while the computer is running, the image won't come on.

Do you have any of these issues, and if no, did you do anything specific to address them?
True it is 13" but it's a 3:2 aspect ratio so lots of vertical real estate. I will take a 13" 3:2 over a 15" 16:9 any day.
Counterpoint: one of the products I’m most fiercely loyal to (Pacifist.app) is an app I very seldom use. I use it to inspect macOS installers before running them. There aren’t many to run, definitely not very often. By usage metrics I’m basically a retention failure, except I keep coming back when I need it.

Don’t measure just for usage metrics. Measure for usage success and satisfaction.

Expat living in the UK here.

One of the first things I had trouble finding here was good pizza. I tried everything in the town I live in and couldn’t find something to satisfy the craving (I even resorted to Pizza Hut and Papa John’s just hoping for a little bit of America). I ended up finding a refrigerated (not frozen) pizza in waitrose (grocery store) and I fell in love. Seriously, it’s relatively healthy and absolutely delicious. Whenever I have a pizza urge I walk up to my local waitrose to get one. Well, in the last 2-3 months I haven’t been able to get my hands on one. Every time I go in the pizza section has less in it and never has the one I want. I’ve tried going different days and times. At first I thought I was unlucky, but I’m noticing it more (especially with minced Turkey). Can’t help but think this is related.

Also…I also live out in the Dale’s… I’ve noticed farmers have a lot more cows than lambs. Which is strange. I haven’t seen a cow out here in the last 5 years, now they are EVERYWHERE. Slowly starting to put it all together and realize that these are probably effects of Brexit and covid. Hopefully it doesn’t get any worse than preventing a grumpy American from finding some good pizza and enjoying lambs frolicking in some pastures :)
Toxic or not is questionable and lots of places employ toxic people (not saying she is, just a general statement), leaking internal stuff which marked "confidential" is the stuff that'll cause concerns.
That's not what the referenced links says. It says the polio vaccine has 99 to 100% efficacy. The published numbers for Covid vaccines show the virus vector and mRNA vaccines are around 95% efficacy. That's a large difference.
>tl;dr: Ruby (and Rails) would benefit from having a structured, democratic process to introduce changes.

Well except Ruby Core has talked about this and doesn't like the idea of PEP or JSR. Those are too much lego alike, and Ruby, even the process of creating it and not just the language itself is very clay modelling like.

While I do wish there are more collaboration and process, I think that is focusing too much on the process alone. At the end of the day we want ruby improvement to be happening at a faster pace. And right now I still think it is a matter of resources, compared to Python and Java.

I'm 35 with an interest in mathematics but found my learning hampered by the school system I grew up in (encouraging rote learning etc). Now that I have the luxury of not prepping for exams, here's what I am doing. I am reading math oriented non-fiction books like "Fermat's last theorem" and grokking concepts like elliptic curves , Pythagoras theorem proof (yes, this is not just a formula :) ) and in general a lot of things I wish my teachers had taught me. I intend to do this and also expose my son to the concepts without having to stick to a curriculum. Next up are probably "Prime Obsession" which talks about Riemann.

An oh , take notes and preferably link them up in mind maps. That's how anything stays with me anyway

apple pay is not the same as Apple's In App Purchases on iOS.

Apple pay is like a credit card, usable like one. IAP is the method by which apple forces app developers who sell through their app to pay the apple tax.
you should look into population genetics. pretty weird that the same y chromosomal lineages showed up all over eurasia at the same time :o)
Source? My understanding is that vaccine side effects are almost always discovered in the first few months.
> The developer can direct the user to a purchasing mechanism. This would by definition be something external

Huh?

There's nothing about the definition of "direct" that has any notion of externality.

If a judge rules that I have the permission to direct visitors in my house to a bathroom, that surely does not mean the bathroom must to be in another building.
But what is the overall risk, what is the risk to their families, what is the risk from lack of herd immunity? Vaccines are a shared risk.
Sounds like an article pitched by industry lobbyists who could instead just pay more to workers.

Hear hear!

I am really loving Postgres after a foray with Oracle. But I get concerned about using it for large production loads. I welcome recommendations as well.
I believe the money owed to Apple is a seperate concern, raised from their apparent breach of contract.

At the time Fortnite was available on the App Store, the Apple In-App Purchase mechanism was the only contractually allowed method of purchase, and for the short time Fortnite enabled purchases via other methods, their contract with Apple was breached. As a result, the judge ruled that Apple is owed 30% of that revenue - money they would have gotten had those purchases been made via Apple IAP.

In addition, the judge ruled that Apple was well within their power to terminate Epic's developer relationship and App Store access, because of this breach of contract.

This new injunction only takes place in 90 days time, and doesn't nullify any power Apple has to determine who they wish to allow on their App Store. As a result, they are seemingly choosing to not permit Epic back on the App Store, again, due to their initial breach of contract.

My interpretation of this this new ruling is that Apple isn't entitled to money raised through other payment methods going forward, as likely the App Store developer terms of service will be revised to reflect the new state of the law. However I'm sure this will become clear in due course when we see the new terms.

Also existence of Denmark with high vax rates does not imply that the problem is uniquely American. To wit, Russia is even farther ahead in that regard. So no, it’s not uniquely American.

What a load of horseshit. Blame everything on a technical error. They know what they were doing.
Ask HN: How can I bring in some money soon (very) as a programmer?
For context, I've been out of work for over a year at this point, having previously burnt out last year and lost my job (Canada). Since then I've been interviewing, generally looking, and applying for pretty much anything including just manual labour and otherwise, but to no real avail aside from one-off low-paying jobs here and there. I'm currently in the interview process and attempting to lock in a contract on a freelance basis, but I can't bet on those working out, and certainly not for some time.

My main concern at the moment, is paying my accountant for previous years of unpaid corporate taxes due to not having the funds or revenue, paying the government those taxes, keeping a roof over my head, eating, and dental work that's going to get tremendously painful in the next few weeks. All of those are getting to the point where I'm going to have to make some hard decisions on very soon.

Are there any ways that I'm missing in which I can start very quickly bringing in some cash with reasonably solid javascript, people skills, and to a lesser extent python and many others? It's not that I'm not willing to work, it just seems like I've been massively unsuccessful in getting into a place where I can do it. With interview processes becoming ever-more length and volatile, things aren't really looking up.

This all sounds so niggery.
This is the most plausible explanation. Since most of the newer dev frameworks use very unix like CLI, windows as a dev operating system was feeling very left out.

VSCode made this painfully obvious.

Most corporates would just offer you a mac instead. WSLg is pretty cool, but if you have a choice, running ubuntu or debian is better, with emulation for whatever windows legacy stuff you need to support.
What service/s specifically impressed you?
That's only a couple percent, and credit card companies get all fussy if the prices are different.

If it was 30% you would absolutely see gas stations advertising a hot deal 20% lower cash-only price to draw in customers.
Mac is a small slice of the software engineer market, and mostly in the web-app/mobile space.
Er. Doesn't that quote support their argument, rather than counter it?

At this point, language isn't a barrier. I read and write Russian without knowing how to read or write Russian. I regularly talk to my Russian friends in Russian thanks to Google Translate.

It may have taken a bit longer than the 1954 prediction said, but it did happen.
Sounds retarted.
which means the apple IAP is going to have a competitive advantage compared to third party IAP.

This means that competition is working, because you would choose apple's IAP, over the third party, even if it was more expensive.

The virus isn't going away. It's obviously not realistic to spend the rest of your life wearing a mask.
Theranos, uBiome, and Practice Fusion all have well known scandals. I'm aware of other issues at some other health tech startups surrounding misrepresenting their impact on quality of care, building biased algorithms that have a discriminatory impact on care delivery, companies looking at questionable payment models that seem like they'd violate stark laws, straight up medicare fraud, etc. I'll just say that I'm skeptical of health tech companies that claim/suggest any impact on a medical condition, that claim to have a predictive algorithm related to a medical condition that's their core product, or that somehow give free things to providers.

Accounts at the Fed will not be a crypto like bitcoin, etc. It will be a one party ledger fully controlled by the Fed. One mistake or court order and you are cancelled and done.
This seems like it shouldn’t have made the front page
So it could be just a coincidence that the damages she awarded Apple were specifically 30% of Epic's in-app VBuck sales, the exact same amount Apple would have been entitled to via IAP. I guess that's plausible and I read too much into her selecting 30% of their sales.

But I'm still thinking about how Apple suggested without restricting IAP to Apple's system, they'd have to collect that 30% in a more complicated way. I think you're perhaps right that today's ruling is orthogonal to that, but Apple may well still have that in mind, and be within their rights to impose that?

Dismiss anything that sounds unusual outright? No. Apply extra scrutiny to things that sound unusual? Absolutely. If they had even googled /r/txbountyhunters, they would have found a rDrama thread early in the results talking about it. If they had looked through the accounts at all, they would have found indications that they weren't conservative pro-life Christians from Texas. Same with the trans one. A number of the pictures were re-used from random sources. Commenters in both often had absurdist/troll-ish usernames, they would make extreme and erratic comments - the signs were all over the place.

More to the point, the satire is obvious because the posts are absurd, over-the-top, and deeply implausible. Spray-painting your baby's mouth and crushing hormone pills to put in your teenager's food, then bragging about it on reddit, are not things people do. Writing a meandering post in southern vernacular about bounty hunting your sex partner is not a thing people do. Do people do insane things sometimes? Yes. But when you want to use a genuinely insane thing as evidence for any sort of political message, you should put more work into it than just assuming whatever outlandish story someone's spinning online that happens to be perfect culture war fuel is truth.

A minimal level of fact-checking and scrutiny would have been enough in this case.

This is funny because a lot of the classics fit in that category, especially the ones that was dug after the author's death and was published despite the author's will. If what you say is true, then some lovers of classic literature are nothing but voyeuristic consumers.

As someone who voted brexit partly because I was hoping it would tighten the labour market and help people like my dad who have been competing against foreign labour for years could someone explain why this is actually bad? Long-term labour shortages are mostly myths as far as I can tell. If there is a shortage of labour we have two options, pay more to attract workers or import people willing to accept the uncompetitive wage. In recent years we’ve picked the latter, but it seems now businesses are being forced to pay more. I get this might not be great for business growth, but why wouldn’t this be good for “low-skill” workers?
Random observation: nowhere is 60 degrees F.

I'm looking at San Francisco, as well as Portland and Seattle, all of which the temperature is right around 60. No matter how much I zoom in or out, there are dozens of 59s and 61s, but no 60. Curious why. It can't be coincidence based on how many I looked at.
