So am I. My reference to PE firms was that my anecdote of the few boards I'm on is supplemented by their experience.

> This entire debate should be recast the simple "build vs buy" concept that it already is.

Because that's entirely the premise of my argument. Did you read the parent comment and what I was responding to?

PS - Say what you want about PE folk, but they are the most ruthless capitalists. So IMHO they are far more incentivized to drive cost efficiencies than anyone else because profit = EBITDA = valuations.
They have a bazillion alexa and kindle devices out there that they could monitor from, heh heh. At least let that phone-home behaviour do something useful, like notice AWS is down.

>here is mine, from a French who chose to emigrate in China instead of the US [...long paragraph of US bashing ...] The American nightmare, it seems to me :s

Mighty ironic of you to go on such a lengthy rant to bash the US off your Western European high-horse (white male too I presume?) living in China like a priviledged westerner, but where the stuff you bashed the US for is amateur level stuff.

Be careful with all those Winnie the Pooh memes or you might loose your social credit points, comrade.

Indonesia would be completely different. JFK was planning to meet with Sukarno shortly before he was assassinated. Then we got Suharto, New Order, the rest is history (over 1,000,000 communists, atheists, feminists, etc killed, and the third world is set back).
Redundancy is only relevant if it helps you in an outage. Otherwise it's just a pointless marketing term no matter how much effort you put into it.

There's a persistent notification that says "Truple - Screenshot Accountability" on it, and when it's clicked, it opens up the Truple app or menu depending on the platform. Competitors do a similar thing and aren't running into issues with Apple for it. If Apple had an issue with something like this, they should let me know and I'd adjust according to their feedback. I've asked--all I get back is silence.
I don't know if it really feels incomplete, instead the article seems to make a more compelling case for the opposite of the headline actually being true.

If we assume the following premise from the article is true...

> The only way balancing is going to be easy is if one or the other side isn’t worth much, and that would be a shame.

The article makes a much more compelling case that the life side is worth quite a lot, and the work side isn't worth much... Meaning work/life balance should be easy.
I think a real insurrection meets different criteria than 'interrupting government activities' by an unarmed, disorganized mob of protestors.

Its subjective and most people's interpretation of the events predictably falls along party lines.

We're arguing the semantics of 'insurrection'.

I think there would not be a shadow of a doubt if a real insurrection occured.

This event was closer to blocking a street sweeper than a real true insurrection.
Some combination of shock and instinct. Probably more shock since she later reported that she didn’t remember doing it at all.
> There we are, the rest of your argument was just pretext for some racism.

It isn't racist to criticize the actions of governments.
That's perfectly well-grounded. If a large chunk of your acquaintances were to be predisposed to something due to selection bias, you might be in similar groups and be predisposed to similar things.
Are you already hired, as in already started work?

If so, you definitely need to talk to a lawyer before signing. Putting pressure on you like that for a contract that is new, after you have started work, may have additional legal aspects - some jurisdictions do not allow that without additional compensation.

IANAL, but call one before acting.
It's really impossible to speculate until you've been in a situation like that and most of us probably have not. I would suspect it was a panic response and not some deeper nefarious action.
I'm surprised there are not many answers pushing you to learn embedded software. I have never had a primarily web development role (my early roles had some web dev for embedded front-ends, but not consumer web). It is a wonderful field where you can really make am impact. Currently I work on medical robotics. Embedded software is a wide field too - you can learn operating systems, drivers, low level embedded, communication stacks, distributed systems, etc.

You can try it out by getting something like an Arduino (or rpi if you want to learn embedded Linux) and trying to automate something where you live.
Why should this be the case? There’s a whole lot of oil in the ground, so we certainly aren’t limited there (no more so than we are for lithium, cobalt, etc anyway), and just like we can scale battery production capacity to meet demand, we could presumably also scale fossil fuel production capacity.
You can transmit it to those you have sex with. That's a pretty narrow means of transmission, and one that is already a vector for a variety of other diseases.

She reached for it within the fraction of a second that the bullet struck JFK's head. It was an instinctive action.

In fact, we humans usually can't rationally comprehend catastrophic injury to the body, while in that state of immediate shock. Think of the image of the soldier carrying his detached arm.

>Wealthy people in SF, particularly “old money” types, don’t really pay significant taxes:

Hold on a sec -- the parent was asserting that wealthy people still want to pay big bucks to live in SF, even despite the huge tax bill. They gave an example of an expensive recent property sale, which would force a huge property-value-up-assessment and thus a big tax bill.

You're then citing a story to refute this belief, which talks about a very unusual case where a tax-nonpayment-sale was reversed, treating like it never happened (because corruption), and thus avoiding the up-assessment. That's not responsive to what the parent was talking about.

Now, you're right that wealthy, very-long-time SF residents do avoid most of the property tax due to never having sold and the Prop 13 shield. But that isn't relevant to a case of a new buyer picking up a property like that commenter was referring to.
The problem with nation states is that they don't pay people. I don't think nation state can ever come up with something like this - it takes passion, genius and those qualities demand higher premiums than governments are ever willing to hand out.

I don't really understand your objection. How is

>at least a differently scoped variable of the same name referring to the same value, but that's not lexical scoping anymore

not lexical scoping? That's literally just how closures work under the hood.

And that's exactly why closures have to deal with references (or copies) - every implementation of them is a function pointer and a record for the lexical environment, the latter of which requires that at closure creation time the relevant bindings are captured, either by creating a reference or making a copy.

I also don't understand why C++'s (or Rust's) closures would be 'fake'. If you capture by reference, they work exactly like the closures of other languages. Not having a GC just means you have to be wary of lifetimes. If you use a reference counting pointer (/some other GC'd pointer) you literally have the same closures as other languages.

But say that we didn't have business or currency, and you had to go and get food for your family. Wouldn't you have to make sacrifices even then? There might be an emotional situation going on at home, but if the food supply was dwindling that is also an immediate problem.

If anything, businesses have allowed us to spend way more time with family than we would if we actually had to hunt / farm / gather for food. Our quality of life is so absurdly high exactly because of our economy. I think people forget what it would take to survive without society.
That's more of a 'if you have everything else in the data center, then you can have this too for consistency's sake' than something to move traditional data center workloads to.
Battery life isn't great (I occasionally take it out for about 2-2.5 hours which it does manage but a longer duration would probably kill it). Once froze and refused to resume when I tried to put it on standby and I had to do multiple hard resets to somehow make it going again (could be related to S3 config in BIOS) - scared me off to ever try to standby again. Also, I think you are 100% correct on Nvidia + Linux point; I did an upgrade to Nvidia driver version 460 (I think) and it basically made everything so slow that it was unusable. When I tried to downgrade, apt showed that uninstalling the driver would uninstall entire pop-desktop so had to do some hacks to downgrade back to version 450. Thankfully everything works well with that version including multiple external displays so I have locked the version via Synaptic. But yeah, not a great overall experience; someone less experienced with Linux might have (justifiably) given in to frustration and switched to Windows or Mac.

> We need work.

Not sure I follow. It's amazing how these little bits of social knowledge ferment the flavor of the story. It's a lot like learning to taste beer or wine. Once you take the time to sit down and learn to pay attention to your senses, you can identify things like acetaldehyde, diacetyl, and mercaptans. It's fun teaching people how to sense things they weren't aware of before.

The author seems to have done a little trick. By assuming this little fact, it serves as a rationalization for Dad's emotional neglect. It explains his behavior in retrospect, and I get why that makes sense. But that doesn't mean it's true, it doesn't have any predictive power because it reverses subject and object. "We need work" is a social fact, nothing more, and it's only true as much as it's believed to be true. To me it stands out like pickle in pancake, maybe it can for you too.
It's unclear what technical specifications exist for Open Cap Table but it looks to be a common file format?

At a technical level, in addition to a common file format, I actually think that blockchain technology is a really good means of validating edits to the cap table data itself.

The current mechanism for managing a cap table - particularly for pre-seed entrepreneurs - are probably something like Carta.com as a paid cloud managed offering or worse - some Word doc or Google Cloud doc which gets passed around by founders and legal. Think Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin and Dustin Moskovitz in a dorm stage type companies.

What I think would be useful is something more akin to Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet maintained with a non-forkable git repo that's shared among partners and requires consensus on PRs before merge.

For the record I'm skeptical of cryptocurrencies but bullish on blockchain technology (which I see as basically git with trust/consensus features built in). Particularly for maintaining consensus on documents among semi-trusted partners who need to track modifications to the document and who made them.

Also for the record I just finished binge watching Git as Blockchain by Michael Perry. So now every nail needs the blockchain hammer :) .

This is effective against legal threats. I remember at least one case in my country where one person was saved by truecrypt. They even asked the FBI for help on decrypting it.

Hopefully civilization is not so far gone that police will imprison, torture or kill for failing to incriminate themselves. If it gets to the point cold-blooded torture is on the table, you'll probably get killed anyway.
Among other things, mostly encryption. Most of our current methods depends on P != NP. So no need for 0 days if you can just read at encrypted data as if it wasn't.
Not as fringe as you might think.

I think the two biggest red flags on it are that he claimed to one of his biographers to not recall where he was when he found out JFK had been killed. An odd thing for anybody to say who was not just alive at the time, but especially someone involved with government. As it turns out, he checked out of the Dallas Sheraton that morning, down the street.

Second, and even more interesting is that the initial telegraph that went to DC to confirm the President had expired, was sent to J Edgar Hoover (understandable) and some unknown CIA person named George Bush.

10 years later, he then became the first CIA Director with "no previous CIA experience". Doesn't mean he was involved, but those are interesting facts.

edit: checked out that morning.
As I've said multiple times in this comment section - I'm all for creating an accepting and inclusive environment. Diversity initiatives aren't that. I think that explicit diversity initiatives are indicative of a bad work center that can't attract or keep their desired talent without explicitly targeting specific groups. I don't think that these diversity initiatives do anything to really affect change in an organizations culture and are PR stunts to make people feel good. At worst, they're harmful to everyone - including minorities. At best, they're a waste of time and resources. If your organization has actively promoted a toxic culture from it's inception and just now wishes to change things then it has a lot more work to do than a "diversity initiative".

Regardless, my original stance was more aimed at the societal push of "get x demographic into tech". I'm not going to retype my thoughts on that - go read the other comments of mine in this comments section to get a clearer picture.
Aside from language specific resource listed in other comments I recommend to read Secrets & Lies by Bruce Schneier as a small and easy to read introduction to digital security in general.
Is it? What makes you think that?

Please don’t retroactively edit your comment to make the comment that follows it look misplaced.

There is no reason you couldn’t have included that quote as a reply to my question instead of silently editing it in to make it look as if it has always been there.

Sounds like a normal day in the science journalism. The same case was with the ""earth-like planets"" headlines even though some were unconfirmed and the only data known about them was their orbit, mass to a certain degree and star, which in most cases was small and very active. In the media outlets there weren't any information about the host star and the fact that most of those planets were tidally locked. Besides all of that, they were still calling them earth-like planets.
Well for one, the safety of encryption rests on certain problems being intractable. (In a theoretical sense; there are always implementation bugs that destroy security).

If P=NP, then those previously thought to be intractable problems, are actually tractable. And the foundation of a lot of security-related engineering collapses.
What if the problem is not an AWS problem? My point is that you don’t know what the problem is, you’re assuming.
> You need some way to enforce that the orderings are the _same_

Just require that the Ord type is the same for all heaps ?

MaxHeap(MaxHeap(T, MyOrd), MyOrd) uses the same ordering, but MaxHeap(MaxHeap(T, Ord0), Ord1) does not.
This is spoken from a clear position of entitlement. Many lives do not have the benefit of being fulfilling or rewarding, and those same lives do not have a choice to "do something else."
It's still pretty expensive! NSO charged a flat $500,000 fee for installing Pegasus. It charged government agencies $650,000 to spy on 10 iPhones; $650,000 for 10 Android users; $500,000 for five BlackBerry users; or $300,000 for five Symbian users.
Ideas are so much more important than execution, but they exist on an entirely different axis in my mind.

The best idea imaginable could theoretically be put into production with negligible execution. The ability to easily execute an idea is one intrinsic component of that idea.

Adding some practicality constraints to blue-sky sessions might sound counterintuitive, but it can also help ensure our ideas remain in the realm of "remotely feasible".
But how many corporate IT purchase decisions are made by the 'nerds' in IT?

I know that in my former F500 company, I sat next to the person who made those decisions, Dell was sending him free stuff all the time.

If Framework can nail down a lot of the Enterprise-y stuff (a lot of work I assume), he would have been very interested in it.

Allowing tech agents to swap out everything, means ALL repairs can be done onsite. No sending laptops back to dell for warranty, shipping things back and forth.

Cracked screen? Fixed in the office in 1 hour. Dead laptop? swap motherboard, cannibalize the rest of the parts for the next fix.

I think there is a real market in the Corporate world for that. People hate giving up their laptop, even if your backup / restore / sync solution is good.

It makes its way around the conspiracy/anti-vax circles - so not so surprising that you might not have heard it. To be clear: the claim is that vaccinated but uninfected people can spread COVID. That's obvious bullshit. You should certainly rule it out.
Probably yeah. I’m like toes deep invested in this one.
I disagree about the “equally important” stuff, and here’s why: If I’m wrong and the overwhelming majority of women really don’t like programming, I’ll have wasted some of my time, but no one will have been materially harmed[0]. However, if I am right, then there are currently a large number of people who are being pushed away from a career or hobby that could increase their overall happiness and/or standard of living if they were not being pushed out of it, and I see that as a potential tragedy.

Given how slanted these stakes are and how many times society as a whole has underestimated women as a whole, I think the right answer here is to err on the side of trying to get women and other underrepresented minorities interested into tech.

[0] bear in mind what I said about the particular way I’m putting my belief into practice and that I do not believe in “reverse discrimination” to even the scales.
