I have strategically jumped to gain skills and a higher salary. My current job is, to me, a unicorn and I plan on staying put for a while (even if there wasn’t an equity component). I think I have mostly hit the ceiling for my years of experience and skill set, but I like what I’m doing so I don’t mind.
Okay, maybe the pesky dogs and cats, but surely we can agree on toddlers being past whatever line.
> The Amiga 1200 was arguably the last and best of the golden era "console computers", (meaning all-in-ones with the CPU inside the keyboard and could display on a standard analog TV).

Surely if "last and best" is your criterion, one can hardly discount the Atari Falcon. (And the earliest models in the Acorn Archimedes line were definitely "all-in-ones" integrating a keyboard although they might have lacked in-built TV out.)
I like it. Not everyone might agree, but if you haven't already, find and watch the classic talk about juicing your game. Just a few subtle things would lift it further.

Building something in-house comes with its own sets of pros and cons, which can be compared against the pros and cons of taking a new dependency. The balance and the "correct" decision will vary by team/project/org.
There's a few bits in Neal Stephenson's "Fall; or, Dodge in Hell" that explore this.

The reason it's so complex is because of backwards compatibility. Non-DPI aware applications from before DPI settings were a thing can't advertise that they're not DPI aware, so if an application doesn't announce which it is, Windows has to assume that it's not aware. A couple years ago, Microsoft was able to make changes to the GDI libraries to automatically adjust the size of elements its rendering which makes a lot of things sharper. But things like images or anything on screen not rendered by GDI will not magically become sharp.
I think there is two aspects of the word "trojan", but it does not imply "remote command and control", it's often that, but more broadly it means something that is disguised as one thing, but is not.

For example, one of the first trojans was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EGABTR
Isn’t calling this “malicious” a bit of a stretch?

It’s not like he is mining crypto on your machine. It’s a (however misguided) act of protest and demand for attention.

Fine GitHub put the breaks on in case it was an account takeover but they should allow him to do whatever he wants with his repos once it confirms it’s really him.

Also npm just removes his access…? If I was the author of a popular npm package and decided I wanted to remove it I’d hope npm and the “community” wouldn’t appropriate it and decide I don’t have an opinion about it.

Wanna clone it and upload your own? Fine. As the original author I should have the final say?

What he did was no where near acceptable. Instead of adding an infinite loop to purposely sabotage other projects, he should have either walked away or changed the license for future versions of faker into a much more restricted one. SugarCRM transitioned their software from open source to closed source, and they’re still here with paying customers. There are also many restrictive licenses that change depending on the type of user eg free for personal use but paid for medium to large corporations
I don't know what "120# when soaking wet" means, but he sounds like the weird one!
Does this mean that the switch points were blocked by the trash/dumped packages? There was a video showing that one of the rails had fallen over on its side. I have never seen that in a derailment. I did see a WWII-era film where the US Army had a tough time derailing trains they were trying to sabotage, so this is all amazing to me.
Another thing that made this era special is that these were meant to be mass market devices in which it was kind of assumed that most owners would want to learn basic programming (usually in BASIC, no pun intended) to get the most out of their devices. The machines came with manuals including programming tutorials.
If I'm not mistaken the Green Hills "Integrity" OS is used in HP's iLO which has some [1] interesting [2] flaws [3]. Maybe these are all HP's fault, maybe they are partly due to the way "Integrity" works but it would be highly surprising if "Integrity" is indeed blameless.

So, "Integrity, unfit for national security" and "Integrity is insecure" are probably just as "true" as the statements made by the above gentleman.

Sometimes a modicum of friction is helpful.

The thing is it's far more than a "modicum" in practice. There was a recent Harvard Business School study out there revealing that these systems are poorly calibrated (and/or these companies don't know how to use them), and as a result millions of candidates are getting rejected for reasons that are either specious (6-month resume "gaps" that may be due to normal life circumstances) or utterly meaningless reasons (like failing to match certain word combinations).

But I agree though that many HR departments would still love to use any tool that narrows the pool (however lossy the filter may be). Whether that is a good thing or bad thing or not is a matter of perspective.

In my view, it puts HR's own value and utility into question.

Roads don’t have to be the biggest infrastructure cost in order for the argument to hold. You can say “this proposed development is financially unsustainable, it can’t even pay for its own roads, let alone all the other services it uses!” It’s helpful to have a simple heuristic like that to explain to non-experts why a project doesn’t make sense.
I'm not all that knowledgeable about Washington inside baseball, but it seems weird and suspicious to me that these establishment guys would care so much about Snowden's fate that they'd risk the Trump base's wrath over the issue, when they were conspicuously unwilling to do so on many seemingly more consequential matters.

Jungle is what we have left of the Amazon flora that has not been cleared for pasture or oilseed.

An orchard is a collection of trees cultivated for their product. Their orchards, unlike those we keep, had a mix of different, complementary species. Tribes in the Pacific Northwest, approximately British Columbia today, also farmed trees this way. Those orchards are distinctive in maintaining their characteristic species mix, untended, into the present.

It is hard to say how much of the "modern" avoidance of multi-cropping traces back to biblical injunction. Nowadays people are likely to blame mechanization and difficulty of making machines compatible with such a practice, but that might be a sort of "just-so" story.

Granted it was 3 decades ago, but when I was in grad school, choosing to use LaTeX seemed to add a few months of effort to the "writing" stage of a thesis. However, it was hard to assign root cause because LaTeX and Word were producing different things. The best technology allowed you to create more, but at a price. Typeset dissertations were beautiful, mine was not.

What LaTeX allowed you to do, in principle, was to "build" your document, i.e., type a single command and have camera ready output roll out of the laser printer. Using Word (or even more primitive tools -- I was on a MS-DOS machine), always required some manual intervention. My workflow involved scissors, glue, scotch tape, and a copy machine. But I got done very quickly once I was ready to start writing.

AFAICT the bars add a kind of "laser" that immediately inflicts damage on all bricks in your initial selected trajectory (penetrating all bricks that intersect the dotted line representing your initial trajectory). The more bars you collect the more damage this laser does.

This provides a counterbalance to only blindly selecting the trajectory that has your dots hitting the most bricks. Sometimes you're willing to have a poor trajectory that results in your dots immediately hitting the "ground" after only one or a few bounces if the "laser" can do enough damage, or sometimes the laser can "carve" a better path.

> As others have pointed out the ISA has nothing to do with this. Intel could start building RISC-V CPUs with ME type technology tomorrow.

From a purely technical standpoint, I agree (and wouldn't put it past Intel either). My argument is that having an open ISA makes it easier for manufacturers to compete with each other, which in turn makes it harder for interested parties to pin down every CPU manufacturer and punch holes in their individual designs.

> Sure you're open to buy RISC-V CPUs from China but how are you going to be certain that they have no backdoors?

Pragmatically, you can't. My point though was more that open ISAs give us options to buy hardware that doesn't get designed domestically, which is the main enabler for companies like AMD, Intel and Apple, and moreover, the government. If one chip is confirmed to be vulnerable in some way, you'll have legitimate competitors to choose from.

I am completely baffled by folks defending Marak, or putting any sort of blame on GitHub. What Marak did was not "political speech". If he wanted to, he could have easily done any of the following:

1. Pulled down his repo, or replace his repo by whatever message he wanted to send.

2. Output his political message during the build.

3. Heck, all faker.js does is output fake data for things like names and addresses. I think he would have been well within his rights to make this data something like "123 Fascist Way, Fascistville, NY".

But he didn't. He replaced his code with an infinite loop that was a DoS attack. He deliberately released it as a patch version because he knew it would be pulled in by others that follow semver rules. The fact that his attack wasn't more severe (like, say, encrypting someone's hard drive) doesn't mean it wasn't an actual attack.

And for those quoting the "no express or implied warranty" section of the license, I guarantee no legal system is going to let an actual malicious act be defended by a license.

Land is def not cheap but it can be. Living and Vancouver BC, I would look to the N east of Canada because is was beautiful and much more within my what i could almost afford. Family, friends, laughed at my interest in NS. and would say why this and that; most living in housing and several families to a single home to save money. One guy I worked with said he had said the same thing many years ago and not doing it was the biggest mistake he made. I remembered this. Acreages with livable homes on them were was literally for sale 10k-100+; this was in 2009-2010. fast forward to 2018...prices were still about the same. purchased a farmhouse on over 100 acres for about 100K. Covid hit and the area land prices have went through the roof; in some places 30-60%.

That said a convention loan or various money strategies such as owner finance, leasing, work for living is real. It has been my experience that i watch my friends and family purchase various things, via cash/ borrowing etc... but they turn their nose at purchasing land because its a lot of work; as been mention throughout this thread. Crazy enough the land on a farm is no different from purchasing 2Bth 4Brd home when things start to need servicing or replacement, many just pay some else to do the work. Def belive in paying for knowledge or how to do but this is often not case.

"things like equipment, seasonal labor and seed/seedling trees/breeding stock, which can be as in the thousands to tens of thousands (or much more!), depending on what your plans are. All of these costs tend to be big - maybe bigger than you have to spend from your work income that year. But they may have to be spent to participate in the season that year." is a often not true...but what one thinks they have to do when land is sought or secured; you do way to much work BC your a "farmer" now. This is one reason, why many land owner in US are in debt prompting a high suicide rate while the soils lack nutrients and are tree/weed less in the west. Scale is often measured commercially for sure. life you said, creativity is important and being able to to say... i don't know what I'm doing let me ask a senior/elder or study a method/approach that works for my situation.
I've had games do this and found it annoying since I like my PC to run in balanced mode. Not so much to save power but to let the machine idle when I'm not using it. Found I could work around it by deleting the power plans other than balanced.

I've never played OP's game, so evidently a few games are out there doing this.
I founded the /r/cryptocurrency subreddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/n2vrer/my_sad_att...

I detail here what happened to my subreddit after spending months and years if work in promoting it and increasing user audience and engagement by using my other subreddits to divert discussion.

I was just pawned off, demoted and was forced to forget about it.

Well now its a default subreddit and one of the most profitable for reddit.

I remember joining reddit when Digg.com was the best website in the world but started to act this way, there was a community takeover and everyone just moved to reddit after spamming digg. Reminds me off how myspace got ditched for facebook.

I know facebook realised this could happen so they moved the herd over to instagram while rebranding. But these companies thing the platform is what keeps the community together but there are the initial rules and like minded thinking that creates a foundation for the community and not the platform.

Okay, what about if I decide that your post leans too socialist, and contains dangerous anti-freedom misinformation? Would you be open to being silenced then? If the boot is on the other foot, do you have an issue? To make it more plain: if the other team gets into power, and starts using these laws against you, would you then start to see the benefit in having a basic standard of human right to speak freely?

This seems confused and and misguided.

All it means is that it survived the selective pressures to which it was historically exposed. It doesn't mean they were the best of all possible species, just the best (given the environment) compared to the others at the time, solely at the task of making more copies of themselves.
I've never worked at a FAANG, but still this resonated with me. I'm 20 years into my software engineering career, and if I'm being honest, I've accomplished nothing. Literally, not one project I've ever worked on has seen any significant deployment or had any notable impact on the world, not even my small part of it. Just project after project that's ultimately abandoned or shuttered. Sometimes the company goes under. Sometimes the lab closes. Sometimes not, but I burn out and leave just as you described. In the end, the result is the same: no impact of my work on the world, but also no impact of the failure on my "career".

I'd love to work at a competant and impactful organization on something meaningful. The problem is, I genuinely believe that the probability of such an organization existing, and of them hiring, and of my having the right skill set, and of my learning about, applying to, and passing the interview, is essentially 0. Now, I struggle daily to avoid the cynicism you described so well.

The A1000/A500 reigned from 1985 to 1990 or so, more or less the same platform for 5 years, a platform I could write all programs I wanted to in pure assembler, and eventually knowing every register and bits of HW in the entire system. Essentially just the right amount of complexity for individuals (kids, even) to learn without the knowledge getting obsolete before you mastered it. It was "lightning in a bottle" so to speak.

I'm glad the Arduino, RPi and other small devices exist today, that don't evolve as fast as desktop OSes or mobile SDKs do, that give the chance for curious minds to learn before their knowledge gets obsoleted.
