Unfortunate time for a typo there ;p
As an onlooker who does read /r/cryptocurrency on occasion, I've concluded that Reddit is default crypto-hostile because - even though it has subreddits and mods, and that makes things "categorized" - the discussion being gamified pushes it towards groupthink every time: A gives upvotes, B does not. Thus, always say A, never say B, and never introduce anything new either, that is disruptive to the game. The mods will tend to play into the game rather than fight it because it's the path of least resistance; subs like /r/AskHistorians are exceptions that prove the rule.

So actually discussing crypto topics means discussing them in a way that avoids moderation and gets upvotes...which leads directly towards mindless tribalism and backroom power plays to buy placements. Information about new developments other than price action just gets lost unless payola or botting is used to support it. It's hard to learn anything new from crypto Reddit, even on smaller subs. You will get much more out of a mix of Twitter(awareness) and Discord(discussion).
>I was suprised to learn, that many bytecode instructions changed in minor releases of the runtime!

That's also how dropbox used to obfuscate their client when it was python. They would ship only pyc files, which is just bytecode. But they would change around the opcodes, map multiple numbers to the same opcode, etc. Then also stream encrypt the pyc file and hide the key inside of it.

Giving them a spell check is about as useful as measuring the ratio of times the letter ‘a’ appears relative to ‘e’.

I'll leave the matter of whether one should be expect resumes to be at least reasonably correct (in terms of spelling and grammar) or not - or what the threshold for "reasonably" should be on this front - to the side for now. It's obviously a question of taste, to a certain degree.

But sorry - what you're saying about the ratio of 'a' to 'e' makes no sense at all.

And on this front:

Unless you’re writing user documentation

I don't know what planet you live on -- but on my planet, good engineers write "user documentation" (in the sense of READMEs, docstrings, etc) and participate in mailing lists, do conference presentations, etc, all the time. And yes, while nobody is 100 percent perfect, consistently making a large number of gaffes (or more to the point: conveying an attitude that these things just don't matter; or that you're so hot that they shouldn't matter for you) in these contexts -- particularly when there there is plenty of time available to edit and review -- is definitely seen as a red flag, both in and outside the company.

For any company you'd want to work for, that is.
Isn't that the same as natural language? "Bone Apple Tea" gets corrected both because it's wrong, and because many people know so. "Begging the Question" is used incorrectly _so frequently_ that even dictionaries have come to accept the incorrect usage as an alternative. It's now correct-ish just because it's popular.

So if Node.js has that many more hits than nodejs, it's not surprising that some people see it as canonical.

Hearing the context of this conversation, though, I can see that "nodejs" in your resume is a signal to senior peers within that community--others who are "in the know". That may be a useful filter.

Simple parking strategies according to science
The color you perceive is a weighted average of the intensities of different wavelengths of light that hit your eye. Ultra-violet and infra-red have a weight of zero (invisible). Most colors not at the edge of visible spectrum have weights that are roughly the same order of magnitude.

Hot bodies emit various wavelengths, but the distribution of intensities is roughly a bell curve. If you sum up all these intensities, but weight them by the aforementioned weights in the previous paragraph, you would calculate what color would be perceived when looking at that object.

Barely glowing hot objects emit a ton of infra-red (with perceptual weight zero) and a bit in the visual spectrum, on the red end of it (with a non-zero weight). So we perceive a red glow.

Extremely ludicrously hot objects emit a ton of ultra-violet, X-ray and gamma rays (all with zero weight for visual perception), but also a bit on the blue end of the visible spectrum (with a non-zero weight for perception). So they look blue. Well, they would have looked blue, if the invisible bombardment of gamma rays did not immediately evaporate you.

I disagree that RISC chips are especially hard to write for by hand - plenty of people did exactly that for the Acorn Archimedes. (And writing by hand can still be worthwhile even when you're lacking fancy CISC instructions, because you can design bespoke, custom-use "calling conventions" that make way better use of the register file. This is hard to do in C even when theoretically possible-- via fancy, non-standard asm intrinsics-- because you don't know beforehand how the compiler will choose to allocate registers.) The MC68k architecture proved a dead end, and this is ultimately what would have doomed the Amiga installed base, even if Commodore hadn't been mismanaged to the extent it was.

Self employment is just one additional page when you file your taxes, and possibly a license from your local government.

Do your own research, this is not financial or legal advice, but for "monetizing my blog on ghost" I wouldn't even go that far. You can have self-employment income without creating any legal entity or doing any specific registration, and it's very easy to pay taxes on it under additional income.

The article repeatedly contrasts Cohen as white (white supremacist even) vs. people he mocks as people of color.

This seems to be a standard point of view, but I don't understand how or why it came about, as both Jews and Muslims come in all colors, and traditionally people with middle eastern or central Asian ancestry are all grouped as Caucasian on US government forms that ask for self-identified race.

If Google Maps is accurate, it's less than 500 miles from the centroid of the Caucasus mountains to the Kazakhstan border, so how much more Caucasian can you be without being from Georgia or something?
I think it would have been fine if that code had stayed in a separate branch, or a separate repository. You can create a repo and put all the silly print statements and infinite loops you want, and Microsoft will leave you alone.

If you mount a supply-chain attack, deliberately overwriting a package you know people are relying on with code that will break their systems, that is something else.

Maybe GitHub should have frozen only this one repo, though I doubt that would have made a difference in the public response. But you can't really say that they banned someone's private little experiment here.

As to the power you cede to Microsoft, that is a weird way to phrase it. Microsoft gave you the right to use their platform, for free. All they did is take that away. That is not much power at all.

Isn’t the concept of the resume kind of outdated for most jobs?

The typical advice is to write your resume as a series of impact stories. “Saved my company X% of costs by automating a key process.” Or “increased revenue by Y% by always showing up for my shifts on time” or whatever.

But for many (most?) listed jobs [1], employers want competencies. They have a list of things that need to get done and they want people who can do those things quickly and cheaply.

So if there is going to be a universal data format, I think it’s probably going to try to document competencies (which is what employers actually care about) and not the vague brag sheets that many resumes are.

[1] By listed jobs I mean jobs you’ll find on a public job board like “front end developer” or “marketing manager.” As opposed to leadership positions or unlisted jobs which are more focused on impact and more likely to be filled by referral or recruiting.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's already a correlation.
This irritates me quite a bit. This is not the first time the U.S. government has gone "Well, fine. If I can't get away with violating my own Constitution, I'll just use a neighbor/Ally to do it for me, and get what I wanted anyway, except now it's just called Diplomacy!
It's simpler than that. When a cop pulls you over you have a mental script for how to talk to the police. When some dude in a bar bothers you then you have a different script. When you are at work discussing your code with people, Dad and the ten commandments are suggesting you rewrite your script so you can be more effective and behave in an acceptable manner.

They literally have Codes of Conduct now because some people don't know how to behave. They might be from a different culture, be differently mentally abled, etc... and need some guidance.

Looking into it a bit, they seem to know they don't own any copyrights. It seems like the plan is to leverage the interest indicated by the outrageous purchase price to convince those involved to let the make the works public.

This is it. Take abortion, one side thinks that it is extreme to kill what they perceive as children, and the other side thinks that it is extreme to limit women’s rights to what they perceive as a medical procedure.

When you get to the bottom of these things you find different axiomatic beliefs. Some of these axiomatic beliefs are not based in truth but that is not relevant to the people who hold them.

There’s also a kind of tidal motion insofar as some beliefs move from the fringes to the mainstream (e.g. lgbt rights) and other beliefs move from the mainstream to the fringes. There’s always going to be some people who disagree with that motion, indeed many elderly people hold “extreme” beliefs (overt racism, etc) they are just not politically active usually.

crev is so neat, I have really been expecting npm/pypa/... to pick it up any day, for years. It solves those problems without taking power away from the package repository, and with minimal changes needed to the repository itself. With a spec already complete, I would expect an organization with the resources of npm could implement it in a few days, and I am really confused (and disappointed) that it is still not taking off.

Signatures from the author doesn't solve much unfortunately. You would still need a mechanism to build trust (or review the script manually) and once you put that trust in the author, all that a cryptographic signature gets you is automatic trust in the next version... so the Faker attack slips through.
The candidate probably does not know that though, so they might be writing an exhaustive list in the belief that you want to see everything, or a very short list in the belief that you only want to get a quick overview and will ask detailed questions in interview. Obviously you get to choose what criteria you use for hiring, but I can't imagine you won't be putting quite some noise into the process if you think of the resume as a personality test rather than their attempt to present things in a way they believe companies want.
> like upstate New York the region is given short shrift by a metro-dominated state government.

My reading has usually indicated that if anything the more rural counties get more from the state government than they pay in. It's usually the major metros subsidizing the others.

Then when you look at how the feds treat highway spending, things become even more lopsided in favor of rural counties. There's just an inherent disadvantage against specialization in small metros by virtue of a smaller population, and the way they're laid out in the states makes this difference even larger (young educated professionals don't want to live in a super low density suburban environment that demands they drive everywhere).

> Urban planning may be a factor but smart planning could not have overcome the headwinds.

The German engineering firm that Tesla bought is in a town of just a few thousand (or it was just a few thousand at the time anyway). A cutting edge engineering firm being in such a small town is basically unthinkable to me in the states. Clearly there's some difference, and I do think better urban design plays some part, though yeah it's not the only factor.

And yet tons of them involve shipping packages of money to US addresses and having a mule pick it up. So many times these scams will involve trying to convince their victims that the IRS only accepts payment via iTunes gift cards. Apple doesn't settle purchases with third parties instantly and yet if you were to call up Apple minutes after giving a scammer the gift card code you'll be greeted with the following response. https://youtu.be/-DT7bX-B1Mg?t=20

They still have every cent, they know the intermediary vendor who is laundering the money, and they'll still tell you to pound sand. All they've done is move the money from their right hand to their left and take their hefty cut in fees yet they pretend that clearly the scammers wanted those 500 limited edition seeds in some shitty Farmville ripoff and play dumb about the App developer who's very clearly in on the scam. They lose 30% to Apple and trying to convince victims that they can only accept payment in iTunes gift cards has to absolutely tank their conversion rate yet they still favor iTunes and Google Play because at the end of the day even after the huge fees they're still more likely to get more money than trying to transfer money through more traditional means.

DOJ still lets them get away with it. If they started charging entities facilitating fraud triple the fees they gained from it I'd bet Apple would start caring about it real quick.
