As the other commenter pointed out, no charges. This was in the early days of remote pilotry. After a long night of police questioning, culminating in LAPD speaking to his parents on the phone, LAPD presumed he wasn't a terrorist, and instead just an impulsive and inquisitive youth, so he was free to go. His quadcopter was confiscated and not returned, he apologized to the oil company, and that was pretty much the end of it, although I'm sure he ended up in some sorts of undesirable databases. Somewhat funnily once the FAA regs caught up he became a legitimate remote pilot and has performed many oil and gas related inspections, although not in LA.
I'd probably switch my workout time to early in the morning instead of getting a cup of coffee and browsing the internet before starting my work
day. I find drinking a cup of coffee and browsing the internet for 15 minutes in the morning has taken the place of my morning commute since the pandemic started, I'm sure I could find an alternative routine to get ready for the day. Once I had to start paying for my own coffee while working from home I went from 60 ounces a day down to 30. Maybe this helped me get better sleep or maybe I'm just less stressed two years into the pandemic, I'll probably never know unless I double my coffee consumption to find out which is not worth it.

Why does it matter (in fully-general theory, which is what we're discussing here) if the lock holder fails? The lock is either released, at which point someone else can acquire it; or never released, at which point the system doesn't try to do whatever that lock is about any more. Assuming that every distributed system has to successfully make progress in all cases is just that—an assumption. A design could require that operations "fail stalled." Like a physical padlock that is "tamper proof" in the sense that it permanently seizes up when you put in the wrong key.

A place with high turnover allows you to coast for years... so I'd probably just look a little lower energy than normal.

I usually break from coffee when going on vacation, so coming back to work afterwards and not having coffee isn't so much of a problem.

The thing though is... I _like_ coffee. The caffeine is maybe 20% of the experience for me. I enjoy the routine I have with coffee: Weigh the beans, run them through the grinder, prep my drip filter, carefully pour the hot water in, listen to the drips while taking in the wonderful aroma... and then finally, when I take that first sip of the morning, feeling the warmth of the drink in my chest.

Everything in that process is soothing for me, and serves as mental preparation for the day to come. It's the marker for the start of my workday, separating work from home. It's the mental replacement for the commute I no longer have.

I don't _need_ those things, and I could totally do my job without any of them, but I'd be losing the happiness I get from the experience.
> Comments like these are hurtful. I ask myself the question the commenter asked me every single day. I just try to approach them with care and the assumption they are coming from a good place. I know that isn't always the case, but it's the best I can do.

I try to as well, I had to rewrite that comment several times to be bit more generous but had to leave it where it was. It's hard - Ironically it comes from a place of wishing the world would be more generous to you. Beyond regular therapy I don't talk openly about this, both for this reason, and as I had been struggling with, and treated, for depression for over 20 years (which it now turns out is exacerbated or even caused by the untreated ADHD).

I've spent an incredible amount of effort and energy actively hiding this fact and any consequences from employers, teachers and loved ones out of fear of what it would mean for my already difficult to maintain status quo. I've seen what the stigma of mental health can do to ones career and future opportunities (unless of course you are an active and visual advocate, campaigner as well as your normal role).

I think that the decision on whether to use a framework is very hard.

When using a framework, you get most of the benefits right away, and most of the costs happen much later, when abandoning the framework is costly.

Besides pure technical quality, you have to consider more murky issues: who wrote the framework? how long will they be around for? Does their problem match your problem? Will your interests remain aligned in the future? Is there a succession plan? Will new hires be familiar with it? What's the learning curve? Does it integrate with the other N tools you are using?

Ideally, the decision to use the framework or not should be made by someone who has used it before. This is often not the case.

My personal preference is to always use simplest tools that get the job done.

I wish that hiring technical writers to write docs was more common. Most of the new libraries I have to use have documentation that is so poor, I have to use stack overflow + write test cases.

Currently, I am in the middle of taking over a go code hairball from someone who left, and who loved external dependencies. Out of 31 direct dependencies, 11 are not at release 1.0 yet. Many have poor documentation. I believe that when I am done with it, our code will have fewer dependencies, and be half the size.
All of my friends were made outside of school and college and work. These are places where you can meet the same people over and over again, but you can just as well get that in clubs or organizations or venues or meetups.
I was an underachieving ADHD having bad-at-math kid with no prospects for the future. I dropped out of high school and taught myself programming and system administration, by reading two programming books and going through HOWTOs (remember those? Sorry kids they don't exist anymore, you'll have to make do with 1000 random blog posts) to set up server software and networks etc.

Because of my unstructured learning and random hobby type direction it took me a couple years to get proficient, but eventually I knew more about systems admin than people who'd been doing it professionally for years. I got hired for peanuts by a startup, and networked through User Groups to a better job that paid more.

My career's been nearly 20 years with no higher education or any other skillset whatsoever, bad at concentration and memorization, no bootcamps or teachers or mentors. I'm not a genius. If I can do it, you can do it.

An unlimited amount of free information and learning is out there on the internet. Go and get it, learn it, practice it. Network and find someone who wants to pay you chump change and build that resume.

Also remember there are a lot of roles today in tech. Many don't require a ton of technical chops. Figure out what they are and what they entail, and target your learning towards one. Even lower end roles pay better than most other jobs, and you can always pivot to another role later once you have some work on your resume.

> causes significant disturbance in behavior, emotion, and cognition

According to other people.

What if I think my behavior or emotions are appropriate or justified? The people that are not like me get to tell me how I should be? Seems kind of sick to me. What about the opposite? Are the people that lack disturbances in behavior, emotion, and cognition really that much better off? Regardless, they are definitely accepted easier (assuming they have no other divergent issues causing them to not fit the mold).

To me, it seems like ADHD is basically a diagnosis in which one lacks the proper neurological components of being a good little worker-drone in a capitalistic machine.

Can't focus? Can't sit still for 8 hours straight? Take longer to complete tasks? That's no good. Take these pills, shut up, sit still, and produce! Who cares about the longterm effects of taking amphetamines everyday. It's not /their/ problem, it's /my problem/. I mean, that is all us dairy cows are good for right? And what good is a dairy cow that produces no milk?

Where would you like to see it be more relaxed? While the documentation has some pretty strong recommendations, other than the top 5 accounts, you can pretty much do as you wish.
I cutted caffeine in April 2020 for almost 1.5 years. It took me a while to get over the habit and the headaches but overall it was not an issue to me. I didn’t have peaks and crashes during the day, it was more uniform days form me.
[Levels are confusing, I was using the non amazon leveling where l3 is entry, l4 intermediate, l5 is senior, for this post I'll use amazon leveling, l4 = entry, l5 = intermediate].

> First of all, I think it’s disingenuous to compare a boot camp hire with any L5 engineer, regardless of what country they’re from. A boot camp hire should be compared to a new hire/L4. Doing an L5 comparison is moving the goal post, which I assume wasn’t intended on your part.

Lets look at this from the perspective of the Director/VP, you're looking at filling headcount in your org, 25 seats. Its May, and you're behind the targets that were given to you in January. You have easy to source from talent pools (intermediate level or fresh masters degree graduate L5 H1Bs from India) and bootcamp graduates (3 months of coding experience). Your budget can pay up to 200k/person, which is much higher than the going rate for either of these profiles, so comp isn't a problem. Your boss (VP/SVP) is largely evaluating you on your ability to staff your org and complete projects. Do you fill these 25 seats using L5 Indian immigrants, or fresh bootcamp grads?

This always blows my mind (when I think about it). Driving through that region of CA is really jarring because you can see all the ag work being done in the middle of the desert.. I’ve made the drive between LA and Seattle a number of times and I’m always shocked to see fruits and nuts being grown in such a counterintuitive location. I don’t know much of anything about optimal/suboptimal locations for growing these things, but it sure doesn’t seem like a great use of water. I wonder how much water is wasted just due to the climate in the area.

QED is something you write after proofs not incomprehensible sentences. there is a compelling argument to be made that what neuroscience is missing is theory, not data. there is quite a lot of data.

i am dissappointed, although not surprised that someone who relies on appeals to authority when arguing a point is of the mindset that in an organism so finely optimized that it uses biomechanical feedback in gait generation where larger organisms use central pattern generations involving larger number of neurons that some neurons are more important than others. neurons are expensive.

guess you had better read some more papers.

George Kennan, a Quick Review
“Can be” and “are” are separate concepts. I know several of the teachers at my secondary school were grateful to live well outside the catchment area for students of the school. Being able to go out for drinks or dinner and rarely if ever see students is bliss. The school I teach at certainly is not meaningfully part of any neighborhood community.

Even the idea that teachers, administration and students are part of the same community is pushing the concept, unless prison guards and wardens are part of the same community as the prisoners.
I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of this now and again. Glad to hear that it’s possible for people to take this kind of feedback and put it to use.

Founder and core maintainer here, I was surprised to see this post.

I like to address some of the questions.

1. I'm using twilio to forward text messages. At first glance I thought this could replace it but it doesn't look like it does sms - @xrd

You are correct.

Fonoster does not yet support SMS. However, SMS is within the project's scope and will be implemented later this year. Please see the roadmap here:

https://github.com/orgs/fonoster/projects/9

2. So I still can’t wrap my head around what happens when you go from a Twilio api call to the cell tower and ultimately the handset - @atonse

Some use-cases will require a VoIP Service Provider. Specifically, every time you send or receive a call from the telephone network (PSTN). Alternatively, you could use a SIP-to-GSM Gateway such as GoIP 8.

Fonoster will be particularly helpful when there is regional regulatory compliance or when a company wants to reduce reliance on traditional CPaaS Providers.

Note: A VoIP provider is not needed for internal calling (like an office setup) or browser calling.

3. Would Verizon give me an IP to connect to? Which protocol?

Most telephony providers have SIP interconnection of some sort but are usually for big customers or to communicate with lower-tier providers.

But as @bzxcvbn pointed out, you can find a local VoIP Provider relatively easily. I use a few for testing, like DIDLogic, CallCentric, and VoIP MS.

Hmmm, are some FAANG roles just way less onerous than I've always imagined? My experience with OMSCS is that it's pretty straightforward if you can already build stuff, and even more so if you can write too. Without a CS background I can understand it being a challenge, but I'm surprised to hear your friend thought it was a lot to take on.

Just one data point here, but my personal experience doesn't really agree with that hypothesis. I met my SO in college but aside from their family I do not have regular contact with anyone else I met during that time of my life. I was a commuter student but I went out of my way to meet and hang out with other students.

I was lucky enough to have met my two current best friends in elementary/middle school and reconnect with them during high school. My closest friends right now are my high school friend group and my coworkers.

A question to everyone:

Can anyone explain the networking part of this a bit? I see the `gopacket` package has been used. Is it only capable of "readonly" operations like this?

To play devil’s advocate, wearing hearing aids would suck because you are at the whim of whatever algorithm on the aid. Furthermore, they are adjusted to your hearing range. This is how they know your hearing is gone. Phones tend to be problematic especially in ambient environments. It isn’t like wearing earbuds more like noise canceling with fairly low pass through frequency. You’d be hard pressed to find people who would prefer this over normal hearing. I assume most people would also prefer to walk. Adderall is the exact opposite. Each pill is worth $20 at any university during cram time. That tells you it is desirable by all.
