There are many programs for troubled people (troubled teens, convicts, etc.) that revolve around working with horses and other animals. There's also something to say for just getting somebody physically away from bad influences.

My wife teaches people to ride horses and a very thin slice of her business is serving sick children, developmentally disabled people, veterans with PTSD -- most people find a meaningful connections with animals but for some people with challenges it is one of few things they can connect to.
Cash has pretty decent censorship resistance. It's when going digital that it gets difficult because you either need a centralized clearinghouse to prevent double spends (Visa, PayPal, etc) or a BFT consensus algorithm ("cryptocurrency").

I'm fact when discussing both privacy and censorship resistance I often cite cash as a target goal.

A hypothesis test allows us to say we rejected the null hypothesis.

It doesn't prove anything else besides that.
This highlights how scary it is to interface your savings with these “smart contracts”. Most people have no way to know what they’re actually going to do; the tiny slice of people capable of investigating can hardly remain vigilant at all times. Like, if you ask me to log into something with my bank account, all alarm bells would go off; if you ask me to stake this, approve that with my eth wallet, well, just another weird smart contract thing, right?

I'll probably be a minority here, but I'd say: java + Vaadin [1] + raw jdbc (no ORM nonsense). On Vaadin site, you can use starter [2] to create an app template. There is no need to write javascript; most Vaadin code looks like good old desktop programming. Due Java stability, that thing will run forever and will be performant.

If you want to be "cloud native" (or whatever cool name now is) in the future, you can later recompile it with graalvm [3] and produce a single, static binary, like cool kids these days does with golang and rust.

I'm not even addressing that, I'm addressing the intellectual fetish with contrarianism, and the assumption that contrarian takes are correct and more intelligent and people seek them out and aren't actually capable of doing due diligence on them.

And then there's the flip point that unpopular opinions usually garner lots of popularity in the right groups and it isn't typically courageous to hold them.

One point is about correctness, the other point is about social popularity.

And to reinforce that, your assertion that reading the most downvoted comments are worth your time and implicitly where the correct views are is poor.

That's not exactly accurate either - if I understand the situation correctly, it's a bug that allows counterfeiting of the contract's outputs. This could be a higher magnitude event if the counterfeiters could generate more purported liabilities than the contract can cover.

Well, I don't believe what you believe. I think you have an overly general moral rule that you think is necessary for consistency, but it's not really, and it's just your personal belief.

Your belief implies it is improper to use statistics to describe morally salient human behavior in any way, unless the conclusion is that there is no variation. I think that's silly and intellectually impoverishing. Groups have different average behavior and I don't see the point in blinding myself to that.

We all know that averages don't determine an individual, and we all know that some generalizations should be avoided, but that doesn't imply some broad fatwa, completely irrespective of context, against noting broad variations in group behavior.

The prosecutor attitude is very entertaining though. Feel free to keep doing that.
You're making a huge assumption here: that all happy people are ignorant to their hardships. That is empathetically false. Personally, the more I've explore the depths of my past, accepting the things that make me who I am: the traumas, the privileges, etc. The more happier I become.
I haven’t noticed any problems for the use case I’m using it for.

I’m giving it 8GB of ram and 6 cores/12 threads. VM is running on pcie ssd. Speed is good.

No gpu is in my server so it’s using a basic VNC connection. If you add a gpu and pass it through the desktop experience would be much better. However I only needed to do this to do initial setup.

The cool thing about my setup is that it uses a docker container called macinabox which handles the initial Vm configuration and macOS installation, estuary automating the “hackintosh” process.
This is very interesting!

Why isn't this a popular method to "rehome" the homeless?

I see this not so much as, “let me quit my swe job to become a plumber” but more so a fundamental alienation from labor (on behalf of OP). I think we can all agree that using intelligence to create abstract flows in code is engaging and rewarding. It’s the everything else that makes us feel alienated: the politics/pressure of the company, the “mba types”, the mission of the company itself to solve a problem that isn’t even all that real or impactful ie optimizing video advertising — and the perverse ways management tries to sell it as world changing work — m that makes us look to the other side and wonder if say using our hands to make physical structures might being a closer relationship to our work. A rejection of cognitive dissonance or something.

Marx touches on this concept of alienation of labor [0]. Not pushing Marxism at all here, just using one of his lesser known theories to tease out this topic.

> Yeah, I genuinely do not understand what it is that drives people like the reddit OP to think that tradespeople somehow have it better than software folks. It's like they have never actually paid attention to how absolutely grueling plumbing/roofing/fencing/etc. is.

I have done a decent bit of network and systems administration in the past. I don't like it. It's hard on me sitting at a computer all day. Sometimes I got to go somewhere else and play with some equipment for a bit, but it was mostly a sit at a desk and stare at a screen kind of job. I really need the physical activity. Nowadays I repair rental houses for a number of property owners around here and I'll never go back, even if does pay a little less. I don't really find the work any more or less enjoyable overall, but I work less hours which means I have more time of my own, I sleep so much better at night, and my mental health has improved significantly. Also I get to work by myself which is real nice.

Edit: Many trade jobs are not like mine. I work my own hours, at my own pace, doing mostly light work. Every now and then I might get a helper. I was a roofer when I was much younger, and that's not something my body could handle anymore.
not at all.

I respect trade work, but I also don't idealize it.

It sucks in a lot of ways that are very similar to how software engineering sucks.

As a SWE I get respect from my peers and family for having a "smart job", make 4x what most plumbers make, work from my home office, and do not have a boss breathing down my neck. I do not destroy my body by constantly kneeling over and getting into awkward positions.

Committing fraud doesn't suddenly become legal just because your company is classed as a crypto exchange.

Yes, it does. Crypto isn't a regulated market. As long as the scam stays inside crypto land, it is totally legal. As far as the SEC and CFTC are concerned, you're playing a game with Monopoly money.

Elon Musk can and has openly run crypto "pump and dump" scams that would be blatantly illegal in any regulated market. The only response from the CFTC was a warning to consumers.

There is no bad faith in my comment, just trying to understand your argument better. Thanks for the explanation.
Let's go. Give me your downvotes.

1. The best approximation for writing maintainable and fast code is to be a craftsman trying to write beautiful code. To find joy in the art of coding, not race towards making something that works.

2. Machine Learning and AI is significantly overhyped and overfunded, even more so than crypto.

3. The current iteration of the internet, speficially social services, was a great technological advancement for humanity, but it was a step backwards towards making our lives happy and fulfilling. We did not evolve to deal with this technology and we're becoming more and more miserable. This thing may be our downfall.

4. Related to 3. I think the internet and its power of communication had a negative effect on science. Science is now mostly social and status game. This has always been true to some extent, but the ability for instant global communication and comparison has made it worse. It's regression to the mean when everyone wants to work on the current global hot topic, which has only been possible in recent decades.

5. The whole gender equality movement and cancel culture from the US is a bunch of BS and just people trying to make careers out of it, or people frustrated with themselves and their own lives. And a great way to exact revenge for emotionally unstable female persons.

6. Cars suck and should be abandoned worldwide outside of car racing for fun.

7. In a few hundred years we will look at today's science the way we're looking at religions today

8. Crypto is good, even it's just a big global casino. I believe we need a big global casino and gambling should be legal and fun. But people should be educated about gambling and probability theory.

9. Probability Theory and Bayesian statistics should be the most important subject in middle/high school

10. Governments and countries make no sense. Nobody would come up with this stuff if we were to design to system from scratch today with the internet in mind.

I could go on, but let's stop here.

Well get in line, the backlog for receiving hotspots across all distributors is 6-9 months long.
I was quite obsessed with the five novels featuring Tom Ripley when I was in my twenties; before the Matt Damon movie happened. They are really good thriller novels and they kind of suck you in with the way she plays with notions of good and evil by making you root for what is basically a sociopath murderer. Characterizing her as some kind of gay icon detracts from the fact that these books weren't really about that. There's hardly any kind of sex or intimacy in them at all.

If anything, they might leave you wondering whether she was more trans than lesbian. Most of her protagonists are male and heterosexual (except for one of her last novels portraying a gay protagonist with aids). Women are portrayed like accessories rather than developed characters. I don't think she actually did any female protagonists at all. Tom Ripley's relationship with his spouse is definitely very cold (he has one from the second novel onwards) and weirdly a-sexual (e.g. they have separate bed rooms even).

There have been several movies based on the Tom Ripley novels that definitely portray him either as practically gay or at least very confused on that front. The Matt Damon one by Anthony Minghella is probably the most famous but arguably also the worst interpretation since it is all about guilt. There was one featuring John Malkovic loosely based on Ripley's Game that captured the cold psychopath a bit better and another one by Wim Wenders featuring Dennis Hoppers based on the same novel that had a very different spin on that. And there are a couple more obscure ones. Mostly those movies miss the main point of the character: he's egocentric, manipulative and ultimately sleeps like a baby without any guilt whatsoever once he's done murdering whoever stops him from that. All the tension in the books is about avoiding getting caught, which usually leads to additional victims. Not very compatible with the average Hollywood movie of course but it makes for an interesting anti hero.
Indeed. :-(

> Where can I learn/read about this topic?

It's not this specific topic, it's any topic and a general mindset.

Thinking about possible attack vectors on your own application is a mindset, and to be able to do that properly you need to deeply understand the technology you are using.

There's no exhaustive list of security issues to avoid, just as there is no exhaustive list of every function you'll ever need to write. Security means preventing the wrong kind of people to do the wrong kind of things. What that means is entirely dependent on your application.

In the current webpack world where your code is mangled through 18 different tools before turning into an opaque JavaScript blob somewhere in your angular app that was automatically set up for you, many people lack an understanding of what's actually happening.

You cannot make a boat sink-proof if you don't understand why a boat floats. Sure someone could make a list of things to watch out for and rules to abide by, but that's probably not gonna cut it in the long run.

I am unsure whether the (im)mutability of a qualifier plays a role. For example, religion is a choice, but making generalized derogatory statements about certain religious groups is not okay either.

Good question. Mostly yes, but it would take some coordination.

I have to admit I'm not a fan of "discovery fiction" as presented in this post, but reading Michael Nielson's linked post and some of his examples (e.g https://michaelnielsen.org/ddi/why-bloom-filters-work-the-wa...) I think the idea is great if executed well.

The goal isn't to embed information in meaningless dialogue, but to walk the learner through an entire thought process rather than just presenting the finished result. Or to use one of tech's favorite expressions, to construct an idea from first principles.
When reading pieces like that, and watching a lot of documentaries on the First and Second World War I always am reminded of a quote my SO presented me once:

"In war, people who do not know each other kill each other on the orders of people who know each other but do not kill each other."

But on topic:
I just don't know what happened to the world and to political doctrine in the last 20 to 30 years. I just don't understand this world anymore.

I grew up near the iron curtain on the western side. Filled with propaganda about how the West (and especially the US) were the better system. How democracy made people free and how socialism put people behind walls and made them unfree.

I grew up in a system of socially responsible capitalism with the government and other institutions somewhat ensuring that the everybody participated in economic uplift.

After the Wall fell it seems to me the west did not habe to pretend anymore and more and more restraints fell. Everything became capitalized as well as we are allowed to do everything because we are the good guys seems to have become a thing (or more of that at least).

I can't understand killing civilians with drone strikes at weddings (or anywhere), waiting for the ambulance and others to help and then striking again. I don't understand pushing Russia even closer towards China. I don't understand the EU pulling refugee boats back into the Mediterranean to sink there.

Somehow I am only in my forties and the world doesn't make any sense to me anymore.
