I've seen somewhere that "everyone learns differently" might not actually be true.

I found this video from Veritasium that explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhgwIhB58PA
I’m not saying I know it’s broken. I’m saying it’s a hard problem and given the stakes I would treat it like a new cryptographic construct where it takes the community many years attacking the entire system before people start making confident statements about it.

One of the big concerns here is retroactivity: if you make decisions because you _think_ you’re anonymous but that changes for any reason in the future (compromised exchanges, insecure clients, sophisticated new analysis techniques, etc.) you can’t pull that history. That necessitates more caution than something where the stakes are lower if an attacker finds something clever to try.
It doesn't fit the rest of the definition:

"Not terribly interesting" often seems to me to mean that an argument is so direct and clear that there's really no reason to argue about it, i.e. one has already accepted as a principle that the argument must be dismissed in order to continue doing things that we deem necessary.

I don't think cigarette advertising is worse than either cigarette selling or cigarette smoking. Under the rubric of "this is currently a bad thing, lets address it now" there's actually no escaping a slippery slope.

And "We cannot ban anything because someone people might eventually ban the wrong thing" is a strawman. The people doing the banning will think it's the right thing.
The 10 steps are automatic translation from the book. You can get a digital copy and use Google Translate. Better than nothing.

The book is so easy to follow, would be great to get an official translation to English by the way.

I've noticed people in this industry who took the typical high school -> college -> professional job route with no time in their life spent struggling at all or doing manual labor have some kind of weird romantic notion about it. Working manual labor sucks. It destroys your body, forces you to work terrible hours and often in brutal conditions, and pays awful. I spent years of my life being homeless and working menial labor jobs for years before getting into software development. You guys have absolutely no clue how insanely privileged we are. I think about it every single day.
Is it possible for spokes to gain tension while riding? My intuition says no, which would mean erring on the side of more tension would keep you in the correct range over time.

I have heard of top level downhillers using minimal spoke tension for better compliance and traction. They also have professional mechanics and piles of wheels to use for a race weekend. Meaning their wheels have to be just reliable enough to hold together for a 4 minute race run.
"and an IP version" is more of a matter of interpretation though. I'm pretty sure you can model that behavior in terms of binding to an IPv4 address and binding to its associated IPv6 address. Rather than binding to the same IP with different IP versions.

And it's worth mentioning that IP doesn't have ports. You don't take a port and then divide it into TCP and UDP use. TCP and UDP each independently build their own version of ports.

I wasn't in Iraq so I can't speak to that.

> In Afghanistan, through 3-4 different administrations, drone rules of engagement have been a joke.

I can speak to this though, I was in Afghanistan in 2011-2012. It was my job to aid troops in getting drone and air support. Can you be specific about who operated the drones you're mentioning? In the DOD we required three levels of verification to occur; every request started with "troops in contact" which requires that not only are troops engaged, but they have to be able to demonstrate that they cannot move (eg: "we are dead in the water if we sit here.") In the midst of this they had to be able to concisely define the target, usually with a building grid, but also describing the target with orientation (trees, other objects, etc), and third someone like me had to verify all of those facts by feeds, radio, binoculars, or sight on seen to pass order to an Air Officer who would design a proposal, which usually got passed all the way up to regimental office. As far as I know, for CentCom under Mattis this was not unusual - if provably difficult.

With respect to ROE, the ROE in Iraq and Afghanistan were different. The one in Afghanistan required you be shot at in order to engage. This resulted in an abundance of injured or mamed troops, because the way the military does operations require them to blanket and leaflet towns they're going to invade. So yes, the Taliban usually knows you're coming weeks in advance, and the townspeople who aren't Taliban affiliated have left.

That's not to justify, "This area is a free for all", and doesn't sound much like the military I know.

Edit:
I do highly support the idea of boots on the ground over drones. We never had any missed targets that I was aware of and BDAs (battle damage assessments) were always accurate to our desired outcome in my experience. That said, the reliance on drones in areas where we couldn't bring artillery created a real race for resources, which is where you get stories like Dakota Meyers.

Edit:

Last one, I promise.

> Our military has no grounds to complain about people "not respecting" rules of war.

This is junk. War is messy, it's the byproduct of deplomacy breaking down. It's on everyone who has experienced the theater of war to talk about how the rules were or were not applied. Sometimes you may not like the answer that results in an exception, but it's useful for warrior to understand the baseline reality that they will face and expect - I say this on either side, whether you're a US troop or a warrior in the Taliban. These laws come into conflict in complicated ways many times. One classical example:

When I first learned to shoot the M2 (which is a 50 caliber machine gun) I learned you cannot shoot them at people. You can, howver, use them to assault vehicle born targets, targets with necessary distance, targets behind cover, targets using armor, etc... When you have a vehicle loaded down with explosives racing through a winding ingress point, knowing in all likelihood of they succeed that another attack is imminent, do you debate the law of land and warfare or do you zero in on the engine block and let fate take it's course?
> In a recent episode about the emphasis on protein in the diet, Hobbes and Gordon uncover the story of kwashiorkor, a form of malnutrition that can kill children being raised in areas with food scarcity. It was initially misunderstood as being a problem of not enough protein, which was used to market baby formula and other expensive supplements. And the focus on protein covered up the real issues, which was access to food in an area of extreme income inequality and colonial control.

Wait, what? https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/kwashiorkor/ says "The main cause of kwashiorkor is not eating enough protein or other essential vitamins and minerals.", and https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001604.htm says "Kwashiorkor is a form of malnutrition that occurs when there is not enough protein in the diet."
Comparing construction or plumbing work to sitting is absolutely ludicrous.

I also use a standing desk anyways, but I am not sacrificing my health like my grandfather or father did who had/have back/knee and other health issues in their 50s from physical labor.

Being able to earn a nice living while sitting at a desk is an enormous privilege, and I also get money and healthcare to routinely visit doctors anyway.

I agree, but I know some people who like this style.

Personally I want the gory technical details. This reads like those recipe sites that give you an unnecessary life backstory.

The gore may be less approachable, but I'd say the overall effort to understanding the material is less.
That makes a lot of sense. Vertical integration at its finest I guess.
> I know the official line is that CORS “protects” the relying party (the website that initiates requests)

You're getting that wrong. It doesn't protect the website that initiates the requests. It protects the user from the website initiating the requests.

SOP is to stop website A from doing shady things to the user using their session from website B.

It does protect you in the sense that protecting your users is also protecting you, but it requires voluntary cooperation from the user, so it doesn't do anything to protect you from malicious users.

In the "hotlinking" example you're giving, CORS is only protection from the absolute laziest of attackers, since you can get around that with about 5 minutes of setting up nginx to proxy from your domain to the resources you want to re-use. You can also get the same protection without CORS by blocking requests based on the Referer header
That actually happens in countries that rely more on socialized medicine. For example, encouraging physical fitness and healthy food in schools is no longer a “nice to have in rich school districts” but a way to save money in the government’s budget in the long run. They don’t “ban” obesity but simply work to encourage people not to be obese. Europes lower healthcare costs and obesity rates are not uncorrelated.

(It already kind of happens in the more liberal states of the USA, where Californians are much better fit than Texans).
World War II didn't have gas because it was tactically and strategically useless, not because of international conventions. Mass bombing and firebombing of civilian targets contravenes international conventions too, but that didn't perceptibly slow anyone down, especially after the Axis powers very helpfully did it first.

Ultimately there are no laws in war save vae victis, and while I believe the attribution of the idea to Bismarck is only apocryphal, I agree that the best and only way to curtail the brutality of warfare is to make war with maximum intensity in the cause of making war maximally short - if you can possibly manage it, by not having a war at all.

I think Americans are unable to really understand this, and I think that's because our history offers only two examples, none remotely within living memory, of what it's like to have a war here. It's easy for us to think about making war because, with the exception of those who actually participate and are no longer conscripted in any case - and thus whatever happens to them can be trivially written off by those inclined as "what they signed up for" - we never have to fear that anyone will bring war home. Hitler couldn't even get an invasion across the English Channel; who's going to get one across an ocean?

The sole exception is nuclear warfare via intercontinental missile, and indeed we find this a uniquely horrifying concept in the American psyche, even now. In theory that's because of radiation, but I don't think that's so; I think it is because that's the only plausible mechanism by which we need fear anyone bombing our cities, and that is something we never needed fear before. And it is worthy of note that, whatever the diplomatic exertions required to ensure this does not occur, we have always been willing to pursue them as tirelessly as the occasion has required.
What does "formally safe" mean for you here? Are you talking about something like SEL4 that is formally verified? If yes, I wonder how many SW's are out that that are actually formally verified. Also, the problem of formal verification lies not in the language but in the code itself, right? So what would the problem be with Rust or Go?
This is more a reflection on that period of your life than the work itself.

Part time at a pizza shop in your teens/20s? Time of your life! Doing that exact same work in your 30s when you're trying provide for a partner and potentially kids? When you have bills stacking up, rent is shooting through the roof, and your hopes of one day owning a home are slowly circling the drain?

What do you do now, when that is your sole skillset to fall back on? Being on your feet doesn't feel nearly as nice as it did when you were in your early 20s. Those slow times become stressful because you know it means you could be out of a job like that. Sure, people might always want to eat pizza ("there's always work") but that doesn't mean your quality of life is going to increase _at all_ because of that. Your only hope out - opening your own pizza shop - is an incredibly fragile & stressful undertaking. You're much more likely to lose all the money you borrow/invest into it than ending up with a successful restaurant that provides for you financially.
Lessons you need to know from a $300M Hack
Just want to add to what I said earlier, on the DB side which could be an external dependency, it doesn’t need to be. Django works super well with SQLite, again no external libs (it’s in the Python standard lib), and you should be able to handle a lot of traffic from a single sever with it.

I have in the past used Djangos built in “in memory” cache with a global invalidation on all db writes for simple apps like this that have a low write rate.
It is JWT introspection. Apache modules have to be written in C, and therefore so does my parser. It's another piece of infrastructure.

Whether or not it makes sense to do it like that is another story, but I don't have control over the design of enterprise architecture.
I used to use Django for this kind of thing, but I have found that Flask connected to your fully managed database of choice like AWS with dynamodb (nosql db gets rid of even worrying about schemas) is the simplest way to quickly get up and running and do almost everything in Python with very little learning of various settings and details of specific frameworks since it is so minimal. This is how I tend to prototype then if there's anything promising I'll move to a better stack of tech based on the needs of the user (ex: is the end result going to be better as an iphone app, are there particular scaling needs that I need to worry about, etc.).
agreed. it's not useful for me as a more "tech experienced" person and having taught many people just breaking into the industry i don't think it would help them much, either.

people are often helped by metaphor (e.g. "a port is like a mail slot in a huge mailroom...") but i feel like this "discovery fiction" thing is like an inverse version of that... it allows your brain to be creative when thinking through the topic but just focused on the wrong part of the explanation.
Asimov was a chemist so he had an awareness, possibly expertise, in statistical mechanics and the kinetic theory of gases. Not hard for an sf writer to extrapolate psychohistory from that.
Religion is a choice in the same way citizenship is a choice. Sometimes it is a choice, often you’re born into it, and you often have to meet qualifications to change it, and some of those may be impossible to meet. And your social environment may impose some significant expectations on you.
No, but they usually don’t have great money management skills due to not having said money to manage. It’s not any different than warning first time farmers about all of the ways running a farm can go bad.
> A neighbor owns a painting company. He goes around the various job sites in the morning, sees that everyone has their marching orders for the day, returns in the afternoon to check in on the progress. In between the morning and afternoon though? He does what he pleases.

It's no different in Tech. What is hard about being a developer is that you are building. The analogy between your friend who owns and manages a painting company, isn't really that far off. As long as your are primarily responsible for getting the work done... well, the expectation will be closed tickets, shipped features.
This makes sense in the abstract - in practice, what compiler-specific features or biases do you think might not be suited for any given general-purpose language?
Except it is fake money, they can print as much of it as they want and the exchanges can let them buy other crypto with that fake money. It is possible that on some exchanges Tether will never crash, it will just become impossible to redeem Tether for USD. People stuck holding tether and people stuck holding tether propped up crypto will have no way to redeem for real money.
My recommendation:

Find out from the Recruiter what the values of the org are - the broader company and the engineering org. Prepare yourself by trying to remember examples from your past where you exhibited these values. Also, prepare questions where you can ask the leaders to describe situations where the policies and practices of the org exemplify these values.

I for one do not wish to have any such worm in my body, but eradication of whole species(in other words - genocide) raises some moral questions and also some other issues that have to be dealth in near future.

Apparently, in this case humans already are giving advantages to baboons and if they multiply too many - humans again will need to intervene to kill them to maintain their "normal" numbers.

The solution to the worm and other parasites is very simple - boil your water before using it. Swim only in pools that have been threated against parasites.
Instead the offered solution is to sterilize all water in nature - in jungle environment, that is infested with life, that by nature is hostile to humans and others.
I suppose, that the thinking of eradication of these worms comes from how they are dealing with malaria.
Glue work can be very creative. In fact, having a bunch of prebuilt components lets you focus on what is really original about a project. I've got a side project that involves projecting a video game character like so

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper%27s_ghost

and this would not be practical for me to do at all if I couldn't get frameworks for character animations and even whole characters "out of the box".

Physical world work is often called "embedded systems". If you want to learn to do that kind of thing for fun get an Arduino board and some parts to go with it and start coding.

Software development is often divided into "applications programming" and "systems programming", the later is going to involve radical speedups, compilers, and most advanced techniques.

I can afford a BMW, I've chosen not to buy one. In 08, I technically bought one in a Mini. But it was better MPG (very good for the time), fun, and cute. My buddy has a fast BMW, 2x the price. He got real mad when he drove the mini when he realized that the grand tour guys are right, hot hatches are pretty fun. He was blowing through $1500 in tires every year or so as well. I told him he got the bmw cause he's a dbag and a defense lawyer. He agreed that he is a dbag and he needed to show off as a lawyer. Every one of my friends who has a BMW would agree they care about appearences and are a bit of a dbag, I have about 10 from college/highschool/the neighborhood. So I'd be making fun of myself or my friends.

Personally I want multiple fun to drive vehicles. But I'd also rather have a CNC mill sharing space a motorcycle in the garage instead of a car I'm wiping with a diaper for the same price.

It's also quite common and a source of fun in many communities to make fun of the other brand. Many of these jokes are great at summarizing why people buy a thing. Ford vs Chevy. It can also get bit annoying and detract from what would otherwise be a useful conversation. "Fix Or Repair Daily" isn't very helpful. However "yamaha bike owners ask which valve head shims to buy, bmw owners ask which dealer is the most reputable" is a good description of the mindset for those respective brands, and the what the owners are looking for. Case in point, many BMWs only have an oil low sensor. How low? drain it and measure the volume, no dip stick. This carried over to my mini (bmw made), when the low oil light came on it was at .75 of 4 quarts, basically empty and damaging itself, and the dipstick is almost unreadable except in bright sunlight, but it's sure stylish.
well, sure, after sharkweek!
If you really want to be this facetious and go into sentence structures, bear with me:

The "if" clause does not apply to the request to get a lawyer.

>If y’all, this is how I feel, if y’all think I did it, I know that I didn’t do it

He knows he didn't do it if they all think they he'd done it.

This is followed by a request do get a lawyer.

Are we done now?

No, but I left the field once to be a humanitarian aid logistician, and another two times to be a dad at home. Both were more useful and fulfilling, but paid less.
I'm getting more into home repair since my Dad died I help my mom with the house I don't own a house. Really I think it's interesting and could do it as a job. My Dad was a blue collar worker who did almost everything.

I combined the two and I am making a 3D CAD of the family house. I'm learning a lot about foundations, sill plates, rim boards, insulation, sheathing, plumbing. electrical etc.

FYI Matt Risinger has a great channel on YouTube for general home building science. And I watch fellow Canadian Got2Learn on YouTube for plumbing.

I would refer the writer to the US Constitution, Article IV, section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
Almost 10 years is probably enough for the first two in this crazy frontend world, but I wouldn’t bet on the third
I have to say also that the "4 day workweek" idea tends to be embraced by such same people who have little idea what true laborious labor really is and can pontificate about it from their air conditioned offices.
