For good reason, though. Bad actors using tor not for privacy but to evade IP bans on websites/games/etc or to shit post or disrupt legitimate communities-- this is the issue IMO. It's easier to simply block all to IP addresses, especially if you just need it to stop and don't have the resources of a larger company. And for larger companies that block in an automated fashion as has been mentioned elsewhere, there is so much stuff coming in via those IP addresses that is shady that they all tend to get blocked or at least added to watchlists by companies like cloudflare.
It's all relative I suppose. It's a hell of a lot harder than it was! When I travel with adults I don't have to worry ahead of time about handling poop or bringing multiple changes of clothing or buying twice as many tickets or booking a room where it's OK if my kid is screaming for half the night because how do you get a wildly jetlagged 2 year old to sleep? They can't get vaccinated yet either so that's another source of stress too.

The main thing I'd want to know is whether companies pay to appear in the Top Startups list. I learned Breakoutlist does this a few years back and it destroyed their credibility for me.
Isn't this a circular argument? The question was what "useful" things do these crypto solutions/companies provide, and your example is a product which allows regulated entities to invest in crypto.

"Why is X valuable? Because X allows you to invest in... X."

Also, in this specific example (Arc), is the solution even considered DeFi? There's a centralized list of whitelister entities and you can only participate if you're a customer of these entities. So they're like banks.
Have you heard about Phantom Power?

Good thing! Yields superior audio quality (because it means there is a powered pre-amp right next to the microphone's recording point) and allows to physically turn off microphones.

The key mechanical features always "work" but little stuff like "gun fails to cycle 500% more often with the particular spec of ammo a particular force uses". A rifle spec'd out for sale to Cambodia probably is going to have a lot of teething issues if you try and sell it to the Swedes unchanged. Are these things "safe"? IDK. But no force is going to put in an order for tens of thousands of guns unless correctable issues like those are proven fixed. Infantry arms are a battle of margins. Everything "works" but a marginally more finicky gun to use is going to mean the people using it are marginally less effective which extrapolates pretty directly to "safety".

At the end of the day the analogy isn't great and we're building a castle in a swamp here.
I’m not sure where you’re located, but I will guess the United States. I believe that ADHD is in fact real, but I also believe that Americans in particular are way over-eager with its diagnosis, which is the case with most medical diagnosis in the states.(As an aside, this is one of many reasons why American healthcare is so exorbitantly expensive compared to the rest of the world.)

That’s a common problem of diagnosis, but you have the same problem with those you receive the diagnosis. Americans are often much more interested in finding labels to describe problems in life, and I’d be very careful not to consider any label ascribed to you as being a limiting factor for your own personal growth.
Oh the kids themselves are different! But every day follows pretty much the exact same format, and if we try to mix it up they punish us harshly. (I kid but you get the idea).

Primer on how to exploit it https://medium.com/swlh/binary-exploitation-format-string-vu...
I mean, you're kind of choosing to care about those things.

In general, these are just different goals in life. If you want a house and kids more than you want the freedom to travel, that's cool and pretty normal. There's no stone tablet handed down from the skies that says that has to be the way it is, though.

When I was 23 I saved a few grand up and went hitchhiking around Europe on a budget of something like < 500 eur a month.

I didn't care about my base income and still don't. I think most people accidentally structure their life so that the 9-5 becomes necessary (e.g. if you rent a room in an expensive city, or a flat or house, now you need to pay for that).

The income is a means to achieve the things that you want. If you can't X because Y, and you want to X, then give up Y, not X, find a different way to do X.

I have a mortgage now, but I didn't bother with it for the longest time for precisely the reason you'd described. It locks you down. I waited until I was sure that it _wouldn't_ lock me down because I could really afford it (i.e. it's not 50% of my income from a full time job).

If I'm being charitable, I had the advantage that I could move my belongings etc in to my parents' house if I wanted to. They're pretty poor, probably in the bottom 20% in the UK, so that's not some fantastic privilege.

If you have fuckup parents (not just poor but failed in some way), then yeah, this becomes a lot harder, and I'm sorry about that.

I have prepared by networking and making sure that I can work remotely. Spending a lot of time on refining my skills, and making sure I get noticed. I'll also be moving to SEA very soon, where if its absolutely necessary could live spending 1/8th of my current salary. However, more reasonably, 1/4th of my salary spend on base necessities and food is probably what my budget boils down to. In case I do lose my job, I'd have about 5-10 years in savings. If I'd stay where I am now, I am not comfortable in saying that the same amount would even carry me to 2 or 3 years. Not counting emergencies.

Seeing prices rising everywhere is a pretty scary sight. I earn a decent amount of money, but I can't buy a house, and renting an apartment is so expensive that I would need to look for another job, with a higher salary first. Then I am not even addressing the energy costs or the food prices. It feels like such a hopeless situation. Moving somewhere "poor" (excuse me for using that word), is what feels the easiest way to offset any possible inflation in the short/medium term. In 5-10 years from now, I will move back with savings; unless of course I have grown too fond of SEA
> it's the level at which they operate

I don't think this is true. From what I've seen the terms are completely interchangeable.
In theory there might be a difference. In reality, they're synonyms, and it's random which is used.
They screwed up that for me. I registered, worked with it for a few months (via Expedia, iirc), then they just said "sorry, we're disabling this for you" - probably because of Brexit, but who knows. Can I recover my account somehow? Who knows, I couldn't be arsed and just let my accountant do things for me.
Our industry developed due to the labour put in by so many and central planning and funding by several governments, not due to free markets.

It's a literal idealist position to insist that free markets cause development, when the vast majority of material evidence across the world points to the contrary.
New experiences are good because they feed our neural networks with new input. A change of scenery can sometimes give us a needed fresh perspective to help us progress with life problems and to counter stagnation.
Federal law also requires manufacturers to use too little water in all your home appliances. That’s clearly not “critical.”

Edit: I really don’t understand why I’m getting downvotes on this. Is it because people are so glad the federal government is in their bathroom making these “critical” decisions for you?

My point is that the federal government makes all kinds of decisions that are obviously not “critical,” and that includes in the auto industry.

this is great. Imagine i declare global variable which is used in function which is defined AFTER this global variable is declared (filled by value) and then function is executed later. Why does ssort put my declaration/filling of global variable before that function declaration?

def myfunc():
global globalvar
str(globalvar)

globalvar='abc'

myfunc()

will be transfered to

globalvar='abc'

def myfunc():
global globalvar
str(globalvar)

myfunc()

I understand why is it done but i dont want to have function definition block filled with this declaration of variables (which i do later) since it has no impact to my code and it makes is just a bit "cleaner". Dont tell me to not use global variables :D
There's no difference. Some people think that engineer is a special word because of industry regulations in some countries - if you don't live in one of those countries, this doesn't concern you at all. Developer and engineer mean the same thing when they have the "software" prefix. The whole "a software developer does x but a software engineer does y" smells of snotty gatekeeping.
I know this might be unpopular, but, I don't know, you could just QUIT the app? Obviously, there's a bigger issue here if Zoom is listening in when we don't want them to. But, the number of comments providing workarounds just leaves me thinking: why don't you just quit the app? Immediate problem solved. Long-term problem not solved.

Game Builder Garage on the Nintendo Switch is great.

It's a really flexible sandbox that can be used to make decent-looking little minigames (both 2D and 3D). Really nice tutorials and puzzles. It's a great introduction to modern game programming concepts like entity-component systems and 3D geometry.

Downsides:

- It's purely visual programming with no useful abstraction or reuse mechanisms, so you rapidly hit the limits when trying to build complex logic (although there's a community of players who enjoy working around the limitations in creative ways).

- The tutorials are really verbose, with lots of banter among the different characters (very much like a console RPG), so children who aren't strong readers will find it difficult to follow.
> Expedience kills software

Unfortunately, this is how the majority of software is written nowadays. This is one of the reasons I prefer to build things slowly, think about stuff, implement them nicely, find clever solutions and optimize where it's possible. I know I could build more stuff and earn more money if I rushed things more, but I prefer building nicer stuff instead of more stuff. For most outsourcing companies, this doesn't really make economic sense though, but for product-driven companies it is still possible if the leadership decides to do it.

> the implementation was pretty clearly pure Laravel, and the migrations ran without issue

Being able to refactor/change one part of the code without being afraid that something else might break is an excellent reason to use a framework. Once you understand how that framework works, even if a codebase is bad, you can know what and how can break if not implemented properly. It increases the visibility of "code smells".
If anything, it's the drivers who are the real victims here.
If you ignore the installer download and keep (not even) trying and failing to run it that way, eventually the Zoom website will relent and offer to take you to the JS-based system.

I'm referring to tablet/laptop hybrids with soldered storage like Surface Pro where storage options are only available at time of purchase and cost hundreds extra for an additional 128-512GB. By the time a high storage model pays off over cloud storage, your battery would probably be dead and you'd need a new device anyways.

If you have a device with upgradable storage slots, then you're probably a power user and presumably you wouldn't even store your data in the cloud (other than an extra backup)
If there is sufficient competition, anyone holding out for extreme prices will make less money than anyone that kicks in at moderate prices, and will usually make no money at all. Same for refusing to invest in more plants when they would easily be profitable.

Compare the gasoline market in the US. It's sufficiently competitive, so there is no way for gas stations to start refusing offers under $50 a gallon and wait for people to get desperate.

But that doesn't mean there will be enough plants, even if there is sufficient competition, it would just push out manipulators.
I know it pays for the antenna but the fact remains the cost of Starlink isn’t just $99/month like you’ve claimed.
Thank you. I appreciate your response. I am not sure why some other comments are being hostile towards a genuine question.

I had internalised my lack of structure and focus as a moral failure. It’s hard to uproot it. I still feel like a fraud (as in trying to escape my moral failure with an ADHD diagnosis)
Cyberattack Misinformation Could Be Plan for Ukraine Invasion
I wonder the exact same thing. My parents bought me a book on turbo c++ in the early-90s because I was interested in programming. I had no idea what to make of it. No context. It wasn't engaging for me. What I really wanted to learn was turbo pascal, so that I could make some cool "BBS stuff.". In the absence of any significant resources or mentoring, my curiosity died on the vine.

It's far more frequent, now, to come across people in their early 20s who have been programming since early childhood. The resources are in far greater abundance and the opportunities continue to increase.
Unfortunately they are interchangeable in the industry.

Ideally engineer would require an engineering degree and encapsulate more engineering skills such as fault analysis, risk analysis / mitigation, requirement capture and traceability, design capture and verification, etc. Things that are done in traditional engineering capacity that is required in a regulated environment.
I'm sure folks who get this treatment will be willing to stick to activities less strenuous than an intense CrossFit workout.
Pro tip: They really are making up their own job titles.

Nobody really cares, so long as you can do the job you claim to. If you say "software engineer" but can't do more than add jQuery plugins to a web form, they're going to politely tell you that the interview is over.

If your resume says "senior software engineer" and you apply for a job that just needs someone to add jQuery to a form, they aren't even going to call you.

So far as I'm concerned, the title only matters on your resume, and is just for getting the right kind of attention.

On a resume, "developer" is going to speak to lower and mid-level developer jobs, and "engineer" is going to be for jobs where you have to spend significant amounts of time designing systems that need to be maintained for a long time. If you think you're up for it, go ahead and use it. If you misrepresent yourself on your resume, you'll either not get the job, or you'll fail at the job when you get it, so it's up to you to get it right.
Probably subjectivity.
Dunno - quote from Musk

Doesn't really sound like he's trying to say all the Musks were wonderful.
Cards are moving towards no card at all i.e. virtual cards. USA is very slow in adopting new payment technology compared to the rest of the world. I live in South Africa and tap to pay is so much of a thing that you do not have to worry if you leave your card at home as you can tap at like 80% of the merchants, and if you can't they will have a fall back like QR code etc, NFC enabled cards have been around for years and all the merchants are really quick in adopting them.

The drug laws are the root cause of this. Fentanyl would not be in the drug supply if people could easily buy regulated, tested, known drugs from a safe source. Instead they need to buy from people who don't answer to regulations and will try to increase their profit through the use of more potent substances combined with inactive cuts to increase product mass.

Legalize and regulate drugs and this shit will stop.

Actually, it looks to me like the HTML response is the only thing that's gzip'd. It doesn't make sense to waste time gzip'ing the PNGs, but the CSS and JS files should definitely be compressed. (And maybe the fonts? Not sure.) The default `gzip_types` setting in the nginx config shipped by Debian/Ubuntu does include `text/css` and `application/javascript`, but not `text/html`. Could be that OP is using a non-distro config that only enables gzip for `text/html`, or that OP accidentally disabled gzip'ing for the other MIME types while enabling it for HTML.
Sometimes I wonder what kind of scaling startups are scared of. I keep reading about popular websites running on a single server, and how cheap bare metal is compared to an equivalent AWS setup.

Thank you for your response. Just to let you know, Dr. Russell Barkeley, who is a famous ADHD expert seems to disagree with “Hunter in a farmer’s world” analogy. In a recent podcast appearance he mentioned that it is quite false and misleading. I cannot seem to find which podcast it was. Will link it here if I find it.
As mostly a Windows user, I like the macOS approach. Applications go to /Applications/, application data go to ~/Library/Application Support, settings go to ~/Library/Preferences.

One of the most important things for a modern cell phone is the GPS receiver. Most couldn't function without it. GPS was and continues to be a system funded by the US government. In fact, the opening of GPS civilian use in 1999 directly corresponds with the global rollout of cell phones in general.
