Ah so your employer admits it descriminates against those from atypical backgrounds that's disability, race and quite likely sex discrimination.

I legitimately cannot figure out your stance from this comment.
That would be a separate engineering problem. If it needs to be a different rubber or polymer compound then there's the bonding issue. They would need to have an air outlet to avoid pressure differential, but that then means one needs to figure out how to have a cheap waterproof valve because it probably is not desirable to have stagnant water inside.
Thank you for your answer. I was asking the question in good faith.

Coming from an engineering and entrepreneurial background, I can't help but recognize myself in your comment. I do feel like we should have done a "war effort" to improve our healthcare system and even our public buildings. I can agree it's not an easy task, but it seems 1000 times more productive than locking people at home. Plus, it would ready us for the next epidemic or pandemic. Now, if we get hit again, we're doing lockdowns again.

As for protecting myself versus protecting others, I do understand the logic. I haven't been living under a rock for the past 18 months. However, what I hear is that vaccinated people don't get very sick from Covid. If that is true, why do I need to be vaccinated as well? Aren't they already protected? Let's put this simply, my grand-mother is 84 years old and vaccinated. If I end up giving her Covid she will most-likely be fine. And even if I were vaccinated I could still catch and transmit Covid.

Once all at-risk people are vaccinated, haven't we "won" the war on Covid?
I have worked with people like the author. They suck. They destroy entire teams and often times the feedback is 99% pedantic personal preferences because why would they do something useful like setup the linter and propose the silly things they always nit pick.

These people don’t last long and I have gotten pretty good at screening out this personality in interviews after having it cause huge issues at two different places I worked.
Sorry, that makes too much sense to ever be implemented correctly.

Isn't a lot of this wisdom encapsulated in the (old, uncool) configuration management stuff like chef and puppet? The main difference being that you still need to rebuild your systems regularly to keep yourself honest (no lazy one-off changes, everything goes into the CM codebase).

I mean, I get that NixOS can pin versions of everything, and we've all been bitten by a new server build on identical CM code failing because of an upstream version change. But it's an eternal problem: pinning all the versions means that you a now micromanaging a zillion different versions of shit that you don't want to care about.

I'd like to point out that every one of the "correct" examples is longer, sometimes much longer, that the "wrong" example preceding it.

I've found that I usually start with the "correct" way and end up regressing to the "wrong" way as more and more work piles up, stress builds and deadlines approach. I guess the "correct" way only works if the organization actually prioritizes it and gives reviewers the time to do it the "correct" way no matter what stage the project is in.
Does it make any difference worth caring about going from 2G to 3G to 4G? I know extremely little about telecom, and only remember reading once that something oldish with a name like s7 (but that's apparently not it) was so bad.

Stupid article. All patients cost the healthcare system, but the system is rigged in favor of healthcare providers and insurance companies...much like auto dealers, mechanics and body repair.
Dictating fixed salaries and wage transparency are vastly different things, and only one of those things is being discussed here.

Wage transparency does not lead to fixed salaries, it just removes the information asymmetry between employer and worker, making it easier for workers to negotiate a better wage. Employers can still refuse to introduce pay parity, and many employees probably won’t care that much.
That draft is approaching 10 years old now. Has there been any indication of progress on this front in the recent JDK versions?

The kotlin workaround hacks are clever but also nasty and having real VM support for this would be great. But it also is starting to seem like the type of issue that just won't ever be fixed, despite how hugely important it is for performance.
Who said anything about developing countries? The developed countries have the largest impact on a per capita basis, and thus the larger difference for an individual choice.

"If you want to go ahead and not perform your one biological imperative"

It seems you are implying that we should follow our biological imperatives without question, and that there is only one. There are several biological imperatives. If we follow them without question then we risk things like war (territorialism), rape (reproduction), etc. Its only because we question these imperatives that we are able to place restraints on them.

Also, I don't think I'll save the planet by not having a bunch of kids. But at least by not having them I wont be bringing them into a life of pain and suffering.

Code reviews can also have the opposite effect, I sometimes ask mentees of mine to review PRs of mine. Not necessarily to get their feedback, but to get their questions and to help transfer knowledge.

I used to do that when I started working on open-source as well, doing code-reviews to learn the code base (often I would not submit the review to not create noise)

This is objectively, mathematically, incorrect. There are optimal solutions, and for some/many problems, there is one optimal solution.
I always move sshd to a non-standard port, and blacklistd would not address the reason why I do it.

One IP abusing it and trying to gain access isn't what I address by moving the port. I move the port to cut out the noise of the thousands of IPs that will connect to it once to probe it and never again. The volume of those one-off probes is so dramatic that it makes the logs entirely useless. By moving the port, I cut out that noise so that if I glance at the logs I actually have a chance of noticing anything that is worth noticing.

Incorrect: profit from a company is hiring + working cooperatively. No matter you would want more money as an employee: you accepted it. You could go somewhere else to pick something else. You do not because you do not have something better.

Taxes is basically a gun in your head saying: 50% for me. Why? Because I say so. And you have no alternative. That is coaction no cooperation.

Seriously recheck it. We could talk what taxes are used for or ig u get enough from your wage. But the fact is thst the first case is cooperative and the second is coactive.
There were also the Flying Tigers, in 1941. I think they may have been enlisted soldiers, though, as opposed to private citizens.

> what can NATO + Japan do?

There is a solution to North Korea as it stands today. Chaos will take care of the regime eventually. Chaos is undefeated when it comes to wiping out totalitarian systems (quick, name a couple dozen 100-300 year old totalitarian regimes that are thriving today). That system won't stand forever. Plan as best as possible for what to do whenever the Kim dynasty finally implodes, whenever it inevitably gets toppled from within.

The primary concern is a Myanmar style military junta, backed by China, taking over. Then you're more or less just back to square one. Unfortunately that's by far the most likely scenario. China has zero interest in seeing a unified Korea, in the model of South Korea, on its border - they will not allow it, and they have the capability to easily prevent it.
I've got personal experience with how COVID-related ICU capacity delays can result in death, in ways that aren't being counted now and might not ever be counted. Delaying diagnostic surgery to grade an invasive cancer by 3 months is more than enough time to allow for metastasis, and to turn a potentially treatable outcome into a rapidly terminal one.

What hurts me so much is that the delay I experienced was in February of last year, before we understood much of anything about COVID, vaccines weren't optimistically expected to happen for years, and hospitals were restricting capacity out of precaution as much as demand — national reported cases per day were under 100 in late February, compared to today, where they're over 160,000.

So much of this was mitigable, if not preventable. So many people have already suffered, been permanently injured, or died when the outcomes could've been better. In the United States we — collectively, societally, and systematically — failed to avoid any of it out of selfishness more than anything else.

> They did not exploit this—Turing used his (quite inefficient) model only to rephrase the results of Gödel and Church on the limits of computability.

That's an infuriating sentence, as the author clearly has no clue how insanely inefficient Church numerals are. For those who don't know, Church numerals are literally a unary encoding of integers as repeatedly applied functions.

I read a lot of this article and at no point was I nodding along, but at this point I just had to pause and vent. This person has something against Turing to the point that it's just weird.

Woops, you're absolutely right. I had the division flipped. Then that's a considerable amount lower than the US median income, which makes the difference in median wealth even more suspicious.
Thanks for the clarification. Being able to disable cipher suites in TLS <= 1.2 takes care of a lot of my concerns. It does still remain a concern for 1.3.

I still do worry about the lack of ability to disable cipher suites. Does that extend to not being able to say "I will only accept certificates signed with RSA?" Because if you are forced to allow EC certificates then there are a couple points in the past where this could have been an issue ( https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-6486/ and https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2021-3114/ ). Furthermore if we imagine a future where an issue is found with how one of the ciphersuites is implemented (say ChaCha20 is done incorrectly and we only want to allow AES-GCM) then being able to disable the known bad ciphersuite is a great band-aid.

Let's say that you are providing a Go application to a customer. The customer can configure the application with a config file that controls TLS params. If you can configure the TLS ciphersuites and an issue is found the customer turns off the ciphersuite until they can upgrade. The alternative is that you go through a chain of: vendor gets new Golang -> rebuilds application -> does in-house testing to make sure nothing else came in the new Golang that broke stuff -> customer gets new application -> customer does their own in-house testing -> finally it gets deployed. It's a way longer cycle if you rely on upstream to push changes in code.

I'd use a sandbox for Chrome then. You can use docker to spin up a temporary Chromium instance and then delete it after. It would have no visibility into your host filesystem. You can also just use a VM.
Jobs deserves credit for a lot of the way things went in the computing world but I don't think "killing flash" is one of them. Apple and Flash only (publicly) crossed paths when the iPhone was released in 2007. Even then, Flash was widely disliked by users for a bunch of very good reasons:

* It was yet another thing to install. (Most non-tech-savvy users didn't know how to install a web browser, let alone a browser-specific plugin.) I was an "expert" computer user and I still had trouble getting it to work quite often.

* Flash apps were very resource-hungry on the slow machines at the time. Not quite as bad as Java, but still pretty bad. You had to wait for them to load, and when they consumed an outsize amount of CPU and memory compared to the value delivered.

* A lot of enterprise software started getting written in Flash (vSphere 6, anyone?). I feel bad for every IT department that had to put up with this. Of course, before and alongside that it was Java.

* The Flash runtime was a huge source of computer-pwning exploits. "Click to play" flash was a good idea but about a decade too late to make any difference.

No, Flash was never particularly well-liked by ANYONE except animators, web video game companies, and web ad companies. It was going to die eventually. Even if we were to accept "Jobs killed Flash" as true, that would make it one of his _least_ successful endeavors since Flash only went EOL this year, 14 years later!

I had fascination for Apple products until I tried to use Xcode for some development. That was back in 2010. I never tried again or bought an Apple product since. The idea of tying users down into a walled garden and control their behaviors through not only software but also hardware that they pay for doesn't sit well with me and this is not how technology should progress.
Looks great! Have you considered linking this up to something like arxiv or other preprint sites?

This did not convince me that Turing's accomplishments are exaggerated. Anyone who knows computing history knows that there are many people involved. But Turing's contributions are not overstated, they are just accurate. That doesn't mean that he was the only computer scientist in the world.

The unagi scooter has them[1]. In all honesty, they're garbage for NYC. They are somewhat of a hard plastic, and do not provide the kind of give that your want for roads which have imperfections. It saddens me that peoples first impression of micro mobility is this piece of junk that makes riding scarier and more dangerous than it would be with air tires.

It's likely possible to make a good airless tire, but I bet the materials would be expensive and I'm not sure what it's lifetime would be. Air tube tires remain the best option for micro mobility options.

Not sure what's so hard to figure out about the iPhone. Bigger number means newer. SE means budget. If you visited the homepage even for just 1 second, you'd already know as it says so in the very beginning of the page (https://www.apple.com/iphone-se/).

But, if Apple is so bad at naming things, show me one android phone maker that does it better (and has as many products, it's easy to name things if you only have 1 product).
I got annoyed by people leaving "philosophical" or "style" type comments in code reviews - i.e. nothing related to functionality or performance but just different ideas about how things could be written without obvious advantages. Then I realized I could just write something like "Thanks for the feedback. I've addressed the points that I feel are critical, the remaining comments can be addressed in future if necessary". Then I'd just ignore the worthless comments.

My mental model is that some people feel like they must comment on a code review to show that they've done something. They don't actually care, but just want to write a comment or two and you can shrug those off.

If following this approach you do need to be careful to only ignore genuinely useless comments though. Often a good way to tell is just to chat with the reviewer. That has the added benefit of the reviewer learning that useless comments will create more for them because you'll be by to chat about their useless comments.

I think the process of realizing he needs to do that and doing it is what he's describing in his article. Generally people don't open up about how their behavior is toxic unless they recognize it as a problem. And, though my experience with Russian culture is limited, I understand that competitiveness and criticism is the rule, at least in the STEM fields there. So this guy has been behaving the same way (most) everyone else does, but now he's realizing it's bad and trying to fix himself. I don't think he deserves the criticism he's getting in the comments here. We all start somewhere, and trying to improve should always be encouraged.
