You may be right, but immigration conditions for professional developers in wealthy countries who are explicitly privileged by immigration law are a bit of a change of topic.
To me that sounds like your CEO is inspiring confidence just by walking in
Would you feel the same if it was the Chinese or Russian government who wanted to prosecute a foreigner for allegedly helping one of their whistleblowers, or for just criticizing their government? Unless you want Americans sent to Beijing for violating the Hong Kong national security law, which applies to everyone in the world according to the Chinese government, I don't see how you can invoke 'the law' against Assange.

Regardless, laws are completely irrelevant to what's right or wrong. Laws are basically just threats, and it's not wrong to do something just because someone threatens to harm you. It doesn't matter if that someone is the Chinese government, the US government, the Taliban government, or some local street gang.
Try to explain the current world to someone from 100 years ago. There are just too many alien concepts.

"We all have these small picture plates in our pockets and they are all connected to each other via wireless telegram. And they are connected to libraries too -- you can read any book or newspaper and see any movie on that plate. You need no money as the plate is connected to a bank. You need no house keys, because the door can take orders via telegram."

"We can send telegrams to a great big wall and others can browse and read those announcements from anywhere. They are organized so that you can have public discussions on variety of subjects".

"Our biggest problem now is that there are too many libraries. Anybody can write a newspaper or book and put it into library. We do not know anymore what is true or false. Official Libraries of Truth are known to have mostly lies."

"In the next 100 years we have even bigger problem. More and more people do not live in the real world. They have such devices that they can believe they are living in a made-up story or dream. It is like a drug, they cannot do any work. If you wake them, they can go insane. Soon we have to just let them sleep all the time in large dormitories and storage rooms."
> Just because there are gun abusers, you wouldn't want to take away the 2nd amendment which keeps the government in check

I don't think this is a good comparison. The second ammendment was appended in 1791 if I'm not mistaken, i. e. shortly after the war for independence on american soil against an empire, which was fought with militias (hence the third ammendement). That's a totally different scenario than the 21st century.

It should be monitored who acquires an assault rifle. Or you end up with the highest rate of school amok per capita globally[1], because gun owners are either mentally unstable themselves or not capable of preventing a mentally unstable person from getting hold of the rifle due to a lack or knowledge. Licenses make just as much sense as they do for cars.

Which brings me to the division of powers. The constitution balances executive, legislature and judiciary in its three articles. It is very difficult for either of these organs to abuse power without being met with a restriction. This has been the concept since the very beginning, as you surely know judging by the gh handle, and you bet the federalist paper authors favored an institutional solution over arming each citizen.

In other words, the second ammendement is just as little of an ultimate for checks and balances as the web 3 is for whistleblowing. We already have securedrop and globalleaks. Going a step further is possible, but not strictly necessary, and should not be treated as such in my opinion.

I would tentatively agree with you when it comes to accounting software. However, plenty of fintech apps have popped up over the years, mainly from cryptocurrency enthusiasts. I think even if these people had enough money, they would still go off inventing their own currencies or gambling in the stock market. Also, telecom middleware certainly has its fans in the SDR community and what remains of the world's phreakers.

… with all of them having been developed and run on 32-bit IBM mainframes and other big irons with «lots» of memory (e.g. 512 kB of RAM would have been considered huge in early 70-s).

C, on the other hand, was developed with limitations of early PDP-11's in mind that were often equipped with 56kB of RAM, so null-terminated strings in C was a rationalised design decision and/or a trade-off. Besides, both, UNIX and C started out as a research and a professional hobby project, not a fully fledged commercial product.

Since the internetworking had been inexistent slightly less than entirely, remote code execution that stemmed from buffer overruns was not an issue, either.
In my Texas childhood we called Osage oranges "horseapples" and fed them to horses. I'm not sure how effective this was at dispersing their seeds.
Don't film producers have to give their "advertisers" some inkling of how their (paid) product placement is going to show up in the film?

Right between China and Assyria there lies Central Asia which was mostly inhabited by extremely mobile nomads who crossed thousands of kilometres each season; had abundance of leather; used to wear leather closes head to toe; had nearly everything around them made of leather. Nearly all males (and many females) spent their entire lives on wars.

I find it unsurprising that military technology was transferred so easily in this medium.

I don't think it makes sense to say you "lose" something. Yes, the properties of different spaces _are_ different, but these differences are intentional so that they can be used to study something useful. For instance, complex analytic functions have a number of properties that don't hold for real analytic functions, so you actually "gain" something. An example is the residue theorem. One interesting thing about the residue theorem is that you can use it to calculate the integral of a real-valued function that wouldn't be calculable using conventional calculus techniques. So not only do complex functions have a number of interesting properties on their own, they can also be used to expand what's possible in real functions.
You could ask the same of any developer in their 30s or 40s, most of whom earn less per year than the subject of TFA, and who similarly will have trouble finding work in their field in 10-20 years (if the ageism doesn't go away).
I think the pendulum swing back is going to be designing code that is harder to make bad.

Typescript is a good example of trying to fix this. Rust is even better.

Deno, I think, takes things in a better direction as well.

Ultimately we're going to need systems that just don't let you do "unnatural" things but still maintain a great deal of forward mobility. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask of the future.
Also, as the internet (and technology) grew in influence and popularity, the amound of usecases for them grew exponentially.

In the "golden era" computers were more or less advanced calculators. Now we (as a population) expect to give entertainment and give advice about our lifestyle, like we do with smartwatches or fitness devices.

That's a lot more complicated than writing text or inputting numbers into a grid
It's fear, not confidence.
Thank you, and no criticism taken! I agree. The problem with projects that incorporate cryptocurrencies these days has been that the cryptocurrencies themselves have been the focus and sometimes these projects have been going out of their way to incorporate them, in addition to a lot of projected hopes of what a system could one day become, not the reality of the utility of the system itself, today.

I generally write some naïve code and if it doesn't work, get out the debugger and fix it from there. I can work a lot faster when everything is laid out and I don't have to guess about what the data structures are going to look like. If it's performance sensitive like some tests I've seen, I'd use a profiler. I often use the jetbrains find and replace tool, as well as the search tool, I also like that I can click into the source code for libraries that I use, so I don't have to guess about the interface or implementation. Stuff like coderpad takes away a good portion of my tools that I would use day to day, I taught myself to code in notepad, but I purchased the full suite of jetbrains tools years ago so I wouldn't have to fumble around with inferior tools.
The entire value proposition for AWS is "migrate your internal network to us so it's more stable with less management." I buy that 100%, and I think you're wrong to assume their main network is more likely to fail than their internal one. They have every incentive to continuously improve it because it's not made just for one client.
it depends on do you plan to use ceiling/wall speakers wired to central location or not ? if yes, you ideally need multi-zone amplifier to actually drive speakers with built-in or separate mixer (allows you to have multiple inputs and assign them to different outputs at will). Something like Dayton Audio DAX88 will be probably cheapest solution for such setup, while allowing individual control over each speaker (there are optional keypads for control, mobile apps and dlna support as input). If you to to higher end, you can get even systems with integrated intercoms in keypads and touchscreens for each speaker zone.

Or if you go with bookshelfs that are independently powered, well, there were a bunch of options described here
That’s pretty heavily oversimplifying the issue. There were some pretty serious accusations levied against Kellog’s.
I would love to understand why the fed hasn't increased interest rates to counter the rapid increase of inflation..?

The US can't afford it.

With a national debt of 30 trillion dollars, a 1% increase in the interest rate would cost the US an extra 0.3 trillion dollars per year. In other words, an extra 300 billion dollars per year. Looked at in other terms, that's nearly half of the Defense Budget in money 'down the drain'.

The interest rate will never go up to any usable extent until the either the US Dollar or the US Economy (or both) crashes.

For what it is worth, I want to try FSD beta, and have a safety score of 99, and can’t.

You have to jump through so many hoops to even have FSD beta right now, that this is the devil’s deal (i.e. potential manslaughter) you accept by even trying it.

Tesla should investigate, and continue to keep FSD in beta with these strong obstacles while it improves. And eventually (arguably), it needs to put up or pay up for level five FSD which it has been selling as vaporware for something like 5 years now. Maybe this is where public and private law needs to step in.

But in my opinion, casual outrage over FSD is unwarranted until Tesla rolls out software that is less safe than humans to a lot of its users that will operate it as if it is level 5 regardless of actual performance.
I'm sorry, I don't understand how any of this responds to my questions. I didn't ask about monopolies, I didn't ask why artificial scarcity exists, I didn't ask about intellectual property.
From my experience in the industry my guess is that the term originated in the US to resolve the ambiguity of the term "state" here. "State actor" is really what's meant, but to many US listeners would not necessarily imply a "top level" sovereign. Yes, that probably came out of a misunderstanding of the meaning of the term "nation-state," but I think the number of people who know the correct definition of the term is really pretty small.

I would argue that it is: it's explicitly a language designed "in the service of software engineering," which is something we're still figuring out how to do. It has implemented novel features that serve this end, and left out features that don't. PL design doesn't have to just be about dependent types and borrow checkers, after all.

Yeah the Attack on Titan soundtrack is something else.
Supergiant Games is a wonderful studio and they do not have the same kind of crunch that is endemic to other studios. Having said that, I don't know that you can compare the development of a 2D game with a very constrained and linear progression to a massive open 3D world like Cyberpunk 2077 or The Witcher 3. I love Transistor and Bastion, haven't tried Hades... they are great games and I look forward to whatever is next from them, but we're comparing a game that cost about 6 million dollars to make with a game that cost 400 million dollars.

While I appreciate your point and even agree to a large degree with your point, the stakes are very different between these two products.

I still recall an interview I did at a recently public company in New York, for a DevOps position. 4/5 of the interviews went sailingly, with heavy emphasis on networking, scripting, and AWS knowledge. Then the lead engineer sailed in, five minutes late. He gave me an algorithm question straight from the Google playbook (I don't remember the question, sadly), then after I asked for a few minutes to ponder, proceeded to smirk and interrupt me every 30 seconds to ask if I needed help. In between he was chatting on his phone with the audible keybord ticks enabled.

What is there to revisit? The character of Julia is fully explored in 1984. What else is there to say? She just accepts the world as it is and plays by the rules when she has to, to do what she wants when she can.

The irony of "redoing" 1984 is just too much for me to take this project seriously.
Thanks for the great reply! Fascinating
Nix package manager should not break if you change the location of the nix store. However, you will end up having to recompile everything from scratch.

As far as I understand, hardcoding paths and /nix are both deliberate decisions to prevent unexpected implicit dependencies. It does seem like the cheapest way to do it.

I don’t understand why distros would be so attached to FHS? I don’t think there’s ever been significant amounts of consistency between different distros and other Unix OSes when it comes to the details. I’m fairly sure they could build a FHS layer on top if they really wanted to, since the paths inside packages in Nix are fairly standard.
I work at a library. We rarely use our fax machine internally, but we send faxes for patrons at $1 per page. This may sound steep, but it's because we really don't like dealing with the fax machine either. If they have a lot of pages, we try to confirm with them, "are you sure you can't send an email? We can help you with that too!", but there are still some weird cases where people just need to send a fax, so it's still there.
Thanks, really good read. Makes sense.
TL;DR: Subtraction was used for comparison (an optimization trick that nearly always works). We all make mistakes, but here's a great example of why not to go branchless, especially outside of a hot path.
Did you read the letter that came with the Witcher 3? It was very touching, you could really see the care that was putted into the game. Hard to believe the same company released such a mess of a game right after. I bought it for 10 dollars in a sale and even so I felt robbed of my money. If I was looking at a npc and did a 360º with the camera, when looking that same npc the model would change.

Land lines were always expensive, especially before cellphones when that was all there was.

College students often couldn't afford one of their own and it wasn't really thought of as a dire necessity. Plus there were pay phones everywhere which were cheap and unlimited for local calls.

Then local college sweethearts could call each other free from home or dorm usually on shared phones, with other callers often waiting for you to finish so they could use the phone next.

You could make arrangements to meet later at a certain time & place and after you hung up, that was it.

Not too easy to cancel after that when almost nobody had ever been in constant contact before, and so good sweethearts really concentrated on being there for each other.

I would estimate that more of the time apart was spent thinking positively about your partner when you can't be in touch, and letting nothing stand in the way of your appointed meeting (same thing everybody was doing), compared to how there is so much noise in the way with your own phone on you at all times. People don't seem to think about their sweetheart as much when they can just call anywhere anytime. And it's quite common for each person to spend more time on the phone itself doing things other than talking to their partner with it.

The type of strong relationships favored by the archaic limits on mobile communication & networking might be a thing of the forgotten past.

The paper is specific to delivery of malware to airgapped networks. The NSA's RAGEMASTER which you are thinking of, and the whole VAGRANT family, is only a surveillance system - it does not allow for the insertion of any type of software.

There is also a useful differentiation in that NSA TAO-type techniques generally require that physical access be established (either to the environment or to equipment being taken into the environment), so in some sense they do not "jump" the air-gap... it's assumed that the method of insertion has already solved that problem. This paper discusses tools that are intended to make their way from a public network into an air-gapped one. In other words, there is a difference between tools for merely exfiltrating from an airgapped environment (having gained access some other way) and tools to actually gain access to the environment by software means. Physically infiltrating, tampering, etc to get an implant into an airgapped environment is old hat in the intelligence world, and so there are many defenses against it, but a "malware" approach to getting a software implant in is a pretty new thing with fewer defenses. Although as this paper shows, epoxy in the USB ports has proven surprisingly effective.
