> Notably, I think some people who's job involves manipulating abstract ideas don't think it's their job to put spend time putting concepts into a form appropriate for a given person - the concepts being expressed in an abstractly correct fashion is sufficient.

If your job involves manipulating abstract ideas, then surely you should know that different people have different abstract representations of those abstract ideas! The more abstract the concept, the more “and this is this” “yes, I follow” handshakes you have to do before you get into the details.
I'm going off track here but Pulumi have a totally mind-bending feature where you can write the code of a lambda function not only inline, but such that it captures the value of variables from the surrounding infra code at the time the function is serialized.

See: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/function-serializ...

Seeing the specific examples they use it for (AWS infra glue) makes me think that there is room for infrastructure related lambdas to be defined right in cfn or infra code, with very low ceremony, even if you wouldn't want to deploy "applications" like that.
This was my first thought as well.

Other ethics include the press now reaching out to the surviving family of this man? "So and so, who call themselves investigators, say your father is the Zodiac Killer! Thoughts?"

I guess my phrasing wasnt clear, I wasnt talking so much about "weirdo genius" level of function but more people who just cant function well. Theres a level where some people are very good at certain things but not so sociable, more like Aspergers disease, thats fine and caused by more stuff than just autism. Its when it starts preventing people from doing basic function, caring for themselves, holding basic conversation that it becomes a problem.

I think the right to be forgotten is spelled out in plain terms. If you have my data, and I don't want you to have it, that's the line in the sand. With a few exceptions (such as data decentralization), data is trivial to delete. The problem is that businesses and governments don't want to delete data, because data is knowledge, and knowledge is power.

Example: You are a typical business. A fire completely destroys all of your data, including financial data. If the IRS comes knocking for financial records, you have an excellent reason for why you cannot provide it - force majeure. A law protecting the right of a human to be forgotten should be treated the same as a fire. You do not question it, and should forcefully comply.
> But by the sounds of it, SHA1 is more than enough (given that nobody here is willing to brute force the hash I shared above?)

Absolutely not and that is a ridicoulous conclusion to draw. State-level resources are absolutely not required to break sha1.

> but if your password _isn't_ cracked it's moot whether it's hashed with SHA1 or something more secure, as per above?

Again, absolutely not. The algorithm and cost setting have a huge impact on the practical likihood that an attacker will crack your password.
Not sure what you're talking about. I've been extremely happy with the dutch national payment system ideal for over a decade. I will refuse to use anything else, it is what everything and everyone in my country uses, and it works great. Apple pay just redirects to it, anyway. No sense letting them take their cut for not doing anything of value.

I don't want a wallet. I just want to send money from my bank account, and this is already a solved problem which apple has no business getting their nose in.

> The day to day tasks change... day to day. There aren't a "number of tasks remaining in the queue," since whatever I'm doing is what I'm doing.

What you are describing is not ambiguity, it's total variability. If your future is 100% random, it is, by definition, impossible to predict. Such a state would also mean a total absence of direction/vision. Predicting dates is not only impossible but not a question you can ask, since you don't know what's next.

What I'm going to challenge is that you're effectively in such a case, because I don't think it's true.

> One could say this is poor planning. [...] in other words, it's not possible to discover or plan what you need to do next, until you've finished currently. [...] because we didn't discover that we could do that until yesterday during our biweekly sync call.

The example you're giving *is* poor planning. You're going into execution without validating base assumptions. That you discover the specifics of a dependency that late into the game is that you're going into it without a plan. I'm not judging, in your case maybe no-one is asking for any sort of accountability, and just executing is the best recourse with the lower overhead. But the fact that you can't estimate isn't due to the environment, it's due to the fact that you don't have a plan. Some of the companies I worked with are fine with that, most are not.

It's not just Facebook, it's social media in general. More precisely, it's infinite scroll, which has become a ubiquitous design decision across social media. I recently finally succeeded in developing a healthy relationship to social media, and it involved disabling infinite scroll where I could (using Hackernews, moving to old Reddit) and quitting the social media sites where I couldn't (mostly Youtube). I'm scared to touch Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter because the infinite scroll mechanism is so addictive.

Notion may have a much higher proportion of write volume than stackoverflow, given that most of stackoverflow's traffic must be from people who come in from Google, read the answers, and leave. Notion is productivity app, so I would guess most people are actively writing.

I think it depends on the person. My mom's experience isn't that uniform. Every MDS sees her high pulse width (for PD I guess), is like "Hold my beer.", and tries something that works out worse than the settings she's had since she first got DBS in 2005.

It is night and day for tremor, but it also has significant trade-offs. Granted, it could be that the targeting wasn't ideal to begin, after 15+ years she needs her leads redone, or something else, but from what I've seen it really is a set of trade-offs.

I remember watching a video by a guy who just got DBS talking about something similar with a researcher and I'll edit this post if I can find it.

That's not to take away from this series at all, it's just the parent comment was asking about how it was so easy to get into a kernel image written in C on an SD card without any apparent SD card or FS logic.

He might not be, but the way he is giving a talk, wearing a suit, has the video up on YouTube, and speaks as if he is very knowledgeable on the matter, if he were to be incorrect or ignorant, it would still have a disingenuous effect on the viewer, even if he doesn't know that he's wrong or ignorant and totally believes his own body odor smells of roses.

And notice I said "if he were to be incorrect or ignorant", I have not tried to fact check or anything what he's saying in the talk, and so I'm making no claim to the accuracy and veracity of it.
I don't judge, and I recur to this solution as well, more often than I'd like to. But it doesn't only sounds bad.. it is bad indeed, for a number of reasons.

For instance, work usually expands to spend all the time available. Then, if you estimate a one-month task as four months, you will likely not win three months to spend on other tasks. You'll probably spend the whole four months on a one-month task instead.

Another issue: if you are competing for a project, over-estimates will translate in higher than necessary costs, and you may end up overpricing a project and missing the opportunity.

However, as I said, I don't judge and I also recur to that more often than not. On many Organizations, there aren't many other ways to deal with the matter. And that's why I say that the entire Organization looses: managers will have a good night of sleep after putting all the burden over your shoulders, but the losses are affecting every single stakeholder.

> Then people say: If it was that simple someone else would have thought of it.

That's when you go into the prior art. Give a summary (long list of things other people have done – five or six will do), then start drilling down into them, touching on what they address, genuine pros and cons wrt your approach (when relevant), and then go back to how yours is different. (“But none of these XYZ, which is useful for foo and bar.”)

Or, you know, whatever else feels right to say at the time. If you're well-calibrated, your gut instinct will be a result of “reading the room”. That comes with practice.

Well, Matthew 5:18 would tend to suggest that the Old Testament very much applies. But even if it doesn't, plenty of Christians continue to believe parts of the Old Testament, particularly when it comes to bashing gay people. So it's not my interpretation here that matters, I'm simply calling out what I see from Christians. But sure, I'll entertain a no true scotsman fallacy. Here's some verses from the New Testament only.

> Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. Ephesians 6:5

> Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse. 1 Peter 2:18

> The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak. 1st Corinthians 14:34

> You should not use outward aids to make yourselves beautiful, such as the way you fix your hair, or the jewelry you put on, or the dresses you wear. 1st Peter 3:3

> So if your eye—even your good eye—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. Matthew 5:29

> Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Matthew 6:19

> Whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Matthew 5:32

> So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions. Luke 14:33

> A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. 1st Timothy 2:11-15

> Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God. 1 Corinthians 11:14-16

These are every single one from the New Testament, and I don't know a single Christian who actually really follows any of these verses. And good thing, too. I don't want them to. If they did, then, again, the world would be worse off.
That's fun! Took me a second to realize it walks on top of the text.

Not saying youre wrong per se, but the problem with these sorts of loose definitions is that one can bend the definition to make whichever point one wishes to.
If you honestly believe that companies operate as meritocracies I have a bridge to sell you. Nepotism still runs rampant, attractive people get more job offers, promotions, and pay, networking still trounces experience and credentials when it comes to finding work, and credentials themselves are largely about wealth signaling.

Seniority is at least an objective measure, even if it is a terrible one. Besides which, no one says that's how a union has to work.
When a system is unable to serve any more requests it should signal back to the client (“backpressure”) instead of accepting requests unconditionally. Example: DDoS your own system by using unbounded queues. Something like blocking queue + timeout can help avoid it.

Burrill.
The proof of various facts or circumstances which usual-

tablish such as are conjectured to exist.

Yes, We have a few tools that fill in based on scan data, with typical points of data, but a lot of what we're doing requires it's presented in a few different perspectives. Generally we provide a couple reports, the Highly Technical (with notes, logs of actions, etc. This can be hundreds of pages, but it's meant to be a reference for the engineering teams fixing what we found. We also sometimes provide full screen captures of the "ops". Second we provide a paired down version of that report with issues and recommendations, usually for the person that's hired us. It includes what we recommend for them to be successful. Finally we provide an Executive report that is designed to be presented by the second report recipient. Usually we've addressed the high level issues, helped with internal requests if possible (IE IT/Security wanted a budget for new firewall, we help boost that with our report as part of future planning etc.) and ultimately this report is designed to give whomever hired us the ability to be the rockstar (we're just the tool).

So all in, there are different tools needed for each report. Fortunately the way we capture the data and notes through out the "op" makes it much easier for the team to put together each part.

There's ways we could automate more, we've even messed with AI writing some of the suggestions and actions based on input. So far though, we still need the humans in the loop.

Honestly the first few reports are hardest, after that you find a process and it becomes much easier.
