You have no privacy on the Internet. Your machine has its own IP address whenever you are using it, otherwise how would that website know where to send that webpage to? All the routers along the way know both the website's source IP and your destination IP of every packet that goes through them from website to you.

Surveillance is simple, they just look at those IP addresses and the contents of the packet.

You are being recorded with every packet of information you use. That just the way the Internet works. If you don't like it, don't use the Internet at all. :)
1. Satoshi has proven they had tight skills at keeping their identify secret.

2. If Satoshi were from the US, the easiest misdirection would be to pretend to be British. Learning the spelling and grammatical differences is not hard (or maybe test against a British spelling/grammar checker). Making sure you appear to be in a different timezone is basic operational security.

3. I would expect references to be intentional misdirections.

Personally, I don’t think Flickr is best used as an image dump or photo backup service, so it’s not apples to apples. Curating your best photos and sharing those with others as well as engaging on their best photos is where Flickr shines (i.e. the community aspect)
What advantage in your job search would be offered by getting a master's?

I know some management consulting firms like applicants with advanced degrees, but typically in cs/business not pure CS.

Even then, I might recommend getting your foot in the door and hopefully getting your employer to pay to continue your education.

The only other motivation that comes to mind would be a burning question you needed to research and answer for yourself. Perhaps though that would be motivation to explore a PhD rather than a master's.
Go is a fantastic first language imo. It is simple and yet still exposes the concept of pointers without having to worry about being safe with them. Ive taught a course with it which was well received

> To me this article reads like "I want to get a job paid by the big players".

You're not wrong. This is an interesting time in my life. I have next to no formal education and and no work experience worth documenting. In order to pay rent, I've been working retail, through a pandemic, and just before Christmas I finally got Covid. I say "finally" because we all knew it was going to happen. It was never "if", but "when".

I'm questioning the amount of value I put into our world, and the amount I get out.

Some would argue the amount of value I add to the supermarket is almost nothing, and so I deserve to be paid almost nothing. I'm not going to argue against this, but the supermarket is making record profits and clearly generating lots of "value" for the owners, all while I get a real terms wage cut due to inflation.

OSM is the interesting part. I clearly add value to OSM, and in turn everyone who uses it. And it's something I enjoy, and am good at. I would like to be compensated in some way for that. I would love to never have to play Russian Roulette again, simply by being a wage slave in a supermarket in a pandemic.

Ironically one of the quantifiable ways I add value to the OSM consumers is by adding address data that gets used by delivery companies. This improves there turn around time for each delivery point, but ultimately leads to a harsher targets for the employees. (Please everyone, watch "Sorry We Missed You"!).

> The fact is, it's not a one way street, they're contributing back with data. We all benefit from this.

They absolutely do, and I'm grateful for it, but I'm also selfish and want to be compensated.

> While I dislike what these companies stand for (I use a Linux desktop and a degoogled phone) in this case I don't think they're in the wrong.

They aren't wrong, in terms of the licence. (They are wrong in terms of what they stand for) :P

I'm on LineageOS at the moment, because my phone is so old. It's great, but I'd really love to be on GrapheneOS. I just can't afford to spend that much money on a Pixel that will be EOL so soon.
Seriously? Read the very next sentence after that one:

> I’m not here to present you with an authoritative definition of Autism — I’m here to complicate your narratives in a way that makes room for me and people like me to finally be included in the conversation.

Pulling sentences out of context is not making your case. If you're going to call out people for being patronizing, then you need to understand that people are also going to call you out for misrepresenting the tone and substance of the article.

Here's what the author actually says:

> I really appreciate you taking the time to read this — but I am only one Autistic voice. What I hope you’ll walk away with is an understanding that every Autistic person you interview will give you a unique perspective into what Autism is, how it manifests and what kinds of challenges it’s associated with. Each of these perspectives is as valid as any other.

You are picking apart something to represent it in a way that is not backed up by the entirety of the text. The author spends a huge amount of time specifically calling out the thought process that says autistic people are a monolith. Using the word "ambassador" in one sentence does not change that fact, especially when the author immediately afterwards very clearly specifies what they mean by that phrasing.
ruby 3.1 added the feature OP is quoting. If you have local variables x and y and the method definition

def doit(:x, :y)

you can just call it with, IIRC:

doit(x:, y:)

instead of

doit(x: x, y: y)

as was needed before.
They literally did say that!

> I really appreciate you taking the time to read this — but I am only one Autistic voice. What I hope you’ll walk away with is an understanding that every Autistic person you interview will give you a unique perspective into what Autism is, how it manifests and what kinds of challenges it’s associated with. Each of these perspectives is as valid as any other.

There's a strange circularity to the title.

It's almost like saying "90% of Americans have below median literacy skills." In that one it is obviously false, since we define median as being at 50-percentile.

But this is not a lot different. To me "6th grade reading level" should mean "the reading skills of a 50-percentile 6th grader." But then the statement can't be true, unless you accept that the typical 6th grader is just as good at reading as a typical adult.

So.... how do you define "6th-grade reading level"? It seems that you are left with defining it as what you might wish it were. Which is going to vary widely.

> Python forces you to write readable code.

No, it doesn't. It's quite possible to write hard-to-read Python.
> The `%` operator does remainder like C, which was a tough call, but we figured being compatible with C was worthwhile for people porting code. It’s also less useful in Julia due to default 1-based indexing of arrays; for that there is a `mod1` function that returns a value between 1 and n.

After thinking about this, what I really want is a way to access an array with an unadjusted number and tell the array to do whatever modulizing is necessary. e.g. instead of

a[small]
a[mod1(big)]

I'd like to have something more like

a{small}
a[big]

> If a person that puts up a LBTBQ flag is doing so just to show that they support equality but isn't actually LBTGQ themselves...is that different than putting up an NRA flag showing that they support the NRA organization

Depends: Does the person putting up the NRA flag belong to the NRA or not? Your alternatives aren't equivalent.

What? What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Yeah, that's what I was wondering, too. So why did you put "isn't actually LBTGQ themselves" in there?

Is a 90% probability of global societal collapse within 20-40 years good enough for you?

> Adopting a combined deterministic and stochastic model we conclude from a statistical point of view that the probability that our civilisation survives itself is less than 10% in the most optimistic scenario. Calculations show that, maintaining the actual rate of population growth and resource consumption, in particular forest consumption, we have a few decades left before an irreversible collapse of our civilisation (see Fig. 5).... [T]he resulting mean-times for a catastrophic outcome to occur ... are of the order of 2–4 decades (see Fig. 5)....

Well?

Are you looking up yet?

No? Care to put your money where your mouth is and make a bet?

What, exactly is more critical than preventing the end of human civilization? Risk is probability of occurrence times magnitude of impact. Magnitude of impact for anyone under 40 here is so high as to be inestimable. How high does the probability need to be in order to be worth paying attention to?
Property rights are anti-freedom.

They've got two parts: individual freedom to do what you want with the property, and control over what other people can do with the property

More freedom would mean anyone can do what they want with the property, eg if somebody wants to read or copy the book, they can, regardless of what the author says

> I pointed out to the customer liaison that what the customer is trying to do is very suspicious and looks like a virus. The customer liaison explained that it’s quite the opposite: The customer is a major anti-virus software vendor! The customer has important functionality in their product that that they have built based on this technique of remote code injection, and they cannot afford to give it up at this point.

As an aside, whenever I set up a Windows PC for me or a family member, the first thing I do is uninstall any third-party antivirus that may have come with the computer. I have found that anti-virus software likely makes my computer more insecure by having a big attack surface, not to mention slowing it down.
Same here.

Now if I need to ask someone about something over email I only include a single question per email

Because you can be sure that only one will get answered and the rest are just ignored.
I'm a private pilot and I regularly fly aircraft similar to the one in the video. Engines can fail for any number of reasons, but catastrophic engine failure is exceedingly rare, and most of the time an engine stoppage is going to be something that can be corrected easily, such as fuel starvation (maybe failure to switch fuel tanks?), or a misconfigured fuel mixture, or a fried magneto.

As student pilots, we train extensively for engine-out scenarios by running through checklists to increase glide distance, diagnose the problem, and hopefully restart the engine. At the very least, we evaluate all options.

The first thing you are trained to do in an engine-out is to pitch the aircraft for best glide speed, and you don't even see him do that in the video. The prop stops spinning and he immediately opens the door.

Bailing from the aircraft was the first thing he thought of doing, and that is the complete opposite of what every pilot is trained to do. I can't emphasize enough how much the engine-out checklist is drilled into you during training. Any qualified pilot is going to exercise some of those options unless their intention is in fact to bail from the aircraft.
> IIRC dealing with engine out/glide contingencies is part of pilot training and licensing in the US

Recently got my Private Pilot License, emergency descents and planning for emergency landings is definitely part of the check ride.

> And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? So it'd be interesting to check that.

'The president said to swallow bleach' is an uncharitable and inaccurate summary of that line, but so is 'he never said that or anything like that'. At an absolute minimum he spit-balled an idea about internal application of 'disinfectant' live on national television. His manner of self-presentation was more than bleak enough without any additional interpretative efforts.
> It also has a single preview, no hold piece and no hard drop.

This is also true for TGM 1, TGM 2 adds sonic drop but still only has 1 preview.

But yeah it was just a suggestion since the TGM series is not as popular as NES or Guideline but offers a very different experience!
I remember doing exactly this to get code injection working on GNU/Linux systems! I made a library injection library in college for some coursework, which involved copying a C function into a code cave on a remote process and getting the remote process to execute it and return. It only works because its so bare-bones, it doesn't use try/catch and calls to other functions are possible because the function pointers are passed in through the registers and the compiled code is small enough to fit in a single page.

An example function I memcpy and run:

That argument is nonsense because:

1. It is post factual - it couldn't have been predicted beforehand.

2. Craig Wright would only be attacked by those that believe Craig is Satoshi. That could be a very small subset of those who would want to attack Satoshi.

Having worked on b2b software for a while, targeting users rather than buyers really resonated with me. A lot of b2b software is quite simply garbage. None of the amazing UX patterns that we have come to accept as baseline for b2c are present in b2b software (for the most part). User feedback is rarely solicited; if it is, it’s not prioritized by product teams. And the reason is very simple: users don’t matter. Unlike b2c users who can just leave, b2b users are being paid to use the software as a tool to get something done. They often have very little say over what product needs to be purchased. Even if there might be outliers, the industry as a whole doesn’t prioritize users so the market is also pretty small. The decision makers are executives who are weighing a list of (supposed) features, integrations etc. and price.

It’s good to see freshworks use a different approach and succeed with it, I wish them the best.

P.S: I’ve used Zendesk a lot and it ranks among the worst tools I’ve used (a few rungs above JIRA). I hope I get to use Freshworks equivalent at some point.

> So.... how do you define "6th-grade reading level"?

The standard required to pass the 6th grade, I guess? Possibly people are reading at that level but then forget how to do it later in life? That's definitely the case with for example knowledge of maths.

Machine Learning Vids on Tree-Based Methods, Model Eval, and Feature Selection
Deaf culture, for example, was deliberately undermined and suppressed for centuries to prevent its emergence as a distinct identity. Alexander Graham Bell, a central figure in the establishment of deaf education, opposed teaching sign language to children and insisted upon oral education, to push pupils to assimilate into the hearing world. He also argued against intermarriage between deaf people, to avert the "great calamity" of "the production of a defective race of human beings".
That seems like a simple substitution.

The body in your example is AST sub tree. What I want to do, is check it for occurence of some (multi-node) patterns and alter it so that those patterns transform into some other target patterns.

I would like to be able to specify those patterns in declarative manner.

Same way I describe transformations in xslt to transform one xml file into different similar xml file.

I could, in lisp macro, convert ast of `body` to xml tree, write xslt, apply it to that xml, convert back resulting xml into lisp ast and return if from macro.

But that seems like a bit of overkill. I'm searching for something that does descrptive tree transformations similar to xslt but more lightweight. More suitable for use in writing macros.
After reading this, I'm even more confused about what autism is than before.

Sure, my current knowledge may be wrong, but tearing down any generalizations "if you met one person with autism, you met one person with autism" just makes it impossible to define as a thing separate from non-autism.

Yet the author tries to create generalizations later? Autistic people experience the world in a different way than non-autistic people.

Okay, let's let this inconsistency slide. So to what extent? Are they trying to say that all non-autistic people perceive the world exactly the same way? Nonsense, so where's the line?

From the article, there's no line: some are like this, some are the opposite.

I feel the points about the form of communication are valid, but the ones describing the actual subject of communication are not helping.

> Your doing a PR review, assuming this dev is sloppy, would you rather it be in C++ or Python ?

I'd rather it be in Python because I haven't touched C++ with any seriousness since the 1990s.

But not because of formatting (in either case, I’d prefer a standardized code formatter be in use, which gets you a lot farther than Python’s whitespace sensitivities alone.)
While I agree that there is some potentially useful insight buried in here, I disagree stongly on "amazingly well written" - the signal-to-noise ratio was dreadful.
"Open the door" is not on the engine out checklist, its on the forced landing checklist, which comes after all engine restart options are exhausted. He didn't run any items on the engine-out checklist. He went straight to skydiving.

I don't think any pilot that managed to pass their checkride would neglect running a single diagnostic or attempted restart checklist item. This had to be intentional.
It was planned a long time ago. Broadly speaking it was to avoid the kind of shock $1 trillion nuclear cleanup bill Japan was suddenly hit with.
I love that the article I presume you got that from [1] states:

> Acceptable answers include statement such as:

> To enable people to better serve and sell to the Hispanic community; to improve marketing strategies to the Hispanic community; and to enable people to establish contacts to serve the Hispanic community.

Which is not only grammatically incorrect, but grammatically incorrect to the point of message-shattering ambiguity. Is the triplet of statements required for an acceptable answer, or would any individual statement from that list suffice? If all three would be required I doubt I'd have been marked correct - I would have just listed the most important one then moved on to the next question.

> I disagree that it being done by the copyright holders makes it a non-issue.

Not the GP, but I assume they meant that it being done by the copyright holders makes it a non-issue in terms of censorship: Censorship is something that's done to copyright holders. What they themselves do is something else.

[EDIT:] So, yes, I would say at least your Knausgaard -- oops, no, the other guy with a similarly-named book -- example is not censorship. Something similar, but not quite the same thing. [/EDIT]
I had to google around a bit to figure this out, too - I think it's more that in the same way autistic people often have trouble empathizing with others, neurotypical folks have trouble empathizing with them. That's the "double" part - recognizing it's a two-way street rather than just a deficiency/obligation of the autistic individual.
