Are there jobs that don't do surveillance?

Try front-line and front-line-adjacent healthcare. Due to federal privacy laws, a lot of ordinary office surveillance tech is not permitted.

It's not uncommon for regular offices to have "security" cameras. But when IT tried to put the cameras all over our building, the legal department told them to go stick their heads in a pig.

I wasn't part of the discussions that followed, but based on my company's privacy training, I can imagine a couple of problems:

- Legal didn't want even the remote possibility that a "security" camera might be able to view a patient's records on someone's screen.

- Legal didn't want any record that a particular patient went into a particular office, thus identifying them as having a particular ailment. (It's the same reason all of our promotional flyers sent in the mail have to be in a plain white envelope, and not postcards announcing to the world "You're overdue for your herpes follow-up!")

There are still security cameras, but they're only allowed in the employee parking lot. And I think I've seen them in the server rooms. But that's pretty much it.
Weirdly I just opened YouTube on my phone in a browser window (something I don't do very often). And the dislike button was there.

People in the discussions did mention the slow speed. Together with the small amount of RAM, using the disk drive as a co-processor only ever made sense for a very select number of applications.

Outside of demos, the most interesting suggestion was to offload data(base) querying logic to the drive.
The hardest thing with compliance is translation between engineering speak and compliance speak. Few engineers understand the whack-a-mole game of change control, but they understand how to design immutable infra.
I primarily work with marketing teams and my job is essentially making button animations looks snappy and optimizing websites for SEO. I wouldn't personally consider this to be "engineering."

I'd much rather work on a product engineering team, but almost every product engineering job I look at requires a BS and my resume gets auto-rejected.

My frustration with managing different Python versions is what motivated me to finally go out and learn Docker, after running into scenarios where I needed to manage different versions of Python with different versions of each library.

This whole article is written in an amusing way. It was really easy reading.
I worked at a place once where we got a memo that asked everyone to stop clipping nails and farting because the microphones installed in our desks were picking these noises up. The memo even added that if you need to fart please go to the bathroom. It wasn't a joke email, they were serious.

Oh, also not many people realize this but CCTV cameras all have the capability to convey audio captured via an internal microphone. It just depends on whether they have hooked the wires up to enable this feature. But, the innate ability is there. And, the CCTV software the guards use have the ability to store, retrieve and play this back alongside the video playback.
Yes, definitely.

Though CMD.COM and .bat files in DOS and Windows could theoretically also be used to program. But that was less obvious than on the C=64, and not even as obvious as Linux bash scripting being a possibility when you first login.

I think you collectively saved hundreds of pyenv users from some minor suffering! Thanks for the tip!

Perhaps my schooling overlooked some detail of this era, but I had been under the impression that there was at least one megalomaniac fascist dictator involved in the instigation of that process.
`python3 -m venv venv` will use whichever minor version of Python 3 that `python3` currently points to. If you are working on multiple projects that span different Python 3 minor versions, pyenv makes the process of switching between versions much easier. You would activate the specific version you need with pyenv then use `python -m venv venv` to create the virtual environment using that specific version. It's not one or the other, but they work nicely together.
This sounds dystopian and also really bad engineering.

First, I don't want a single login for everywhere. For obvious privacy reasons, using multiple disjoint accounts is preferable.

Second, using a device to identify someone creates a single point of failure. That device will get stolen or will break at the most inconvenient time. The battery will run out. Or something else will happen.

This is far from theoretical. My phone died on a business trip. It turned into a nightmare because almost everything needs two factor authentication. It's really bad not being able to spend money you have. That is when I learned the value of cash.

The obsession with passwordless logins and 2FA is anti-consumer. It needs to stop.
Maybe it's finding some connection like math<->rap-focused music theory (lots of triplets)<->rap. I like an eclectic timeline, and YouTube could be optimizing for that, but I can see how it would be annoying if you don't dig that.
pyenv will do this with the virtualenv integration, so you get the best of both worlds:

pyenv virtualenv <python-version> <env-name>
pyenv activate <env-name>
pip install ...
Wow, this is almost overwhelming and literally breathtaking.

The quote "My god, it's full of stars" is all that springs to mind.
We seem to be intentionally running away from what the author wants.

We already have Visual Basic and XCode’s Interface Builder, and the industry has rejected both in favor of reactive widget trees and hand written XML-like things.

But those were not low-code tools that helped non-developers string together basic preset actions - those were tools for developers, that helped produce full apps of virtually any complexity.

They required writing event handlers and model classes. Xcode allowed you to drag right from the button into the code editor to stub out a method and even helped you pick the right source widget to pass into it.

But we rejected all of that (in the case of Interface Builder) in favor of SwiftUI and a bunch of nested declarative widgets, or hand written XAML in the case of VB.

Were the tools of old perfect? No, they needed some updating.

They didn’t hit all of the author’s wants, but it doesn’t matter - the industry said it wanted hand written widget trees instead of a better visual editor, and so, for better or worse, that’s where we are.
I must confess I haven't noticed a huge difference... although that's mostly because I tend to watch from the channels I'm subbed to a not much else.

From what I can tell this is having a term rewrite system integrated into your language. Is this significantly different then Haskell manual rewrites. Which I admit are sometimes brittle.
Not exactly like them, but Tiny Combat Arena recaptures some of the joy of flying these polygon-based, simplified flight model flightsims. It's still in alpha (so only one playable aircraft -- a Harrier -- and only one demo campaign), but fast approaching 1.0, and I recommend it.

If you want to fly a "modern" jet without needing to read a manual or learn very complex radar systems, this is the game for you.

With the other parts of the codec, I doubt it's possible for files compressed with this, but one of the strengths of BWT-based compression is that there has been a lot of research on search operations directly on compressed data.

These are the types of videos that work well on YouTube unfortunately, the problem is deeper than hidden dislikes, I dislike videos liberally and block channels from being recommended to me constantly but, there is a never ending supply of crap to be recommended because crap performs well. I think the problem is with you - you have watched so many YouTube videos that you can instantly pattern match and see through the bs but YouTube incentivizes these types of videos because it takes a long time for people to realize how trash they are and so they do well, it takes wisdom to realize what a waste of time most content on the platform is.

When I watch YouTube now, I treat it differently, I consciously know that all the content is hot trash and I shouldn’t be watching any of it. I only watch YouTube when I’m exhausted and need to not think and relax.
No dislikes is only going to help scammers who bot likes in order to deceive people into either buying something or downloading malware. Idk how YouTube leadership thought no dislikes is going to bring any good.

Most don't require it especially for people with experience. This sounds more like you have a confidence problem rather than a lack-of-CS-degree problem.
Looks like it but I'd hazard a guess that it really isn't. In my native NL it costs €34,149 though, much less.

If it could do V2G or V2L it might have been interesting to lease it as a big home battery that happens to have wheels.

I hope that I am doing this correctly: I eat about 1 1/2 tablespoons of chia seeds a day. I soak them for an hour and then put them in whatever I am eating. I prefer to not eat much fish oil.

EDIT: after just reading the comments here, I just order some vegan algae oil for omega 3 to add to the soaked chia seeds. I try hard to avoid all foods with omega 6.
So bzip2 and bzip3 focus on compressed size, lz4 on compression speed and zstd on decompression speed?
Sometimes you will need a different version of Python for project A versus project B.

A common scenario: Python 3.10 comes out and you want to make sure your project (and all of the upstream dependencies, libraries) work with it. With pyenv you get virtualenv isolation as well as isolation of the language itself. You can have a unique Python for each project, not just a unique virtualenv sharing the same install. This also makes benchmarking kinda fun, you can jump back and forth between versions and run the test suite to gauge if any big changes have occurred time wise.

Personally, I love idempotent environments that I can create and destroy on a whim. Something go wrong? Package install failed half way through and left clutter? Destroy the directory, make new pyenv/virtenv and install again. Leaves little room for doubt.

I used to share global pythons but as I started to take on more and more consulting projects it became imperative to keep them completely isolated.
> Other than that, even thinking along the terms of "well they must have a reason" is a great way of introducing slippery slopes all the way to extremism.

It's possible I misunderstand what you're saying here, but I think I agree; I wasn't intending to justify managerial surveillance, only to understand and elaborate why it might be happening.

Without understanding the cause(s), the tendency of organizations will, I'd guess, instead be to patch over any problems that arise -- the process equivalent of adding warning signs instead of fixing a dangerous bridge.

The solution in an effective employment marketplace is to build organizations that avoid the root causes entirely and thus attract (effective, motivated) employees and build desire in others to work at similar workplaces -- while perhaps reducing organizational running costs at the same time as a side-effect.
His foundation, the Simons Foundation, funds among a few other things, arXiv. I have wondered why other tech related billionaires do not sponsor more items in the scientific sphere like Simons does, because unlike funding a building at some rich university your money could actually be used for something useful and if something good comes out of it, having your name attached to it could mean a lot more than the name of some silly building (on top of the actual scientific progress it leads to).
Also, probably wood would be chewed by animals, so one would need something that is both translucent and not edible/liked by deers, boars, etc.
Customer Identity and Access Management vs. Identity and Access Management
I've always found pyenv a bit complex to deal with. I've also encountered some bugs with a fresh debian install and pyenv. To put this in perspective, i'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer (not a programmer, not an adminsys).

I prefered alt install for a specific version (python3.3, python 3.X, etc. with associated pip) and virtualenv. Then doing `python3.X -m venv` i got what i need. VScode or pycharm can bind to it.

Recently i've tryed Fedora and they ship python versions compiled so you just need to use the package manager. It's easier and it deals with updates. I stick with that now (i'm migrating from deb to fedora for my servers).
Not really an option on a Mac. Docker is so incredibly slow not only because of the virtualisation layer, but because of file system performance (Python hits a lot of files on startup).

It’s also not that complex at the end of the day. You have two things involved in managing python versions: the executable you’re running, and the PYTHONPATH.

I actually don’t understand why people find that so complex. A virtual environment is: an alias to a python executable; a folder called ‘site-packages’ which is then added to the PYTHONPATH; and a script to set you PATH and PYTHONPATH.

The purpose of the QOZ is to encourage investment in those areas, and it does this by favorable tax conditions.

Some of these areas are surprising, at least around me I see areas designated that aren't much different from the surrounding areas. And there are rural ones, too.

Looking at some of the ones above in street view, I can see why they're classified as they are, and I could certainly see a start-up choosing to place an office in one of those locations. Some are transit-close, even.

Fixing security issues is nice, how about we go a step further and learn to write a one or two liner instead of inundating every project with 400,000 indirect dependencies?
> Hmm. Has YouTube been in the news for hiring broadcast execs?

Not really no. Probably less than the last decade in fact.
Eh, it happens. I pay over $200/year for my domain + GSuite. It’s a luxury I enjoy, but a luxury nonetheless.

If I couldn’t afford that anymore, I’d probably go back to Gmail. I’d probably think to switch over many of my email addresses (for services that I use), but some may slip the cracks when the domain expires.
This could be much more terse:

{patchset = [ ["+", "/hello", ["world"]], ["!", "/baz", "boo"], ["-", "/foo"] ]}

These are basically reified function calls with known arity, this solution is less XMLish and more lispy, and can be efficiently applied with a bit of destructuring and dispatch on [0].

They probably also didn't want video evidence when their doctors or nurses screw up, which would make malpractice cases against them stronger.

Video evidence could also exonerate them, of course. But they probably erred on the side of opacity and the status quo over more transparency, as ass-covering corporations often do.

1. Security

I live in a leased ground level floor through apartment with three entrances not including 6 accessible windows. In order to cover an entrance from inside some of the living space would need to be included. To fully cover I would need 5 cameras and have them in bedrooms too. Exterior cameras could help, but I have no authority to install. While I have no specific reason to worry, I wouldn't want my landlord to install them and be able to see what/who comes in and out of the apartment and/or raise the rent because of it.

Even just covering the 2 main entrances I find it uncomfortable to be able to know when my spouse is entering/exiting the home, I trust them.

2. Kids
When you need it you need it. Like when I was isolating with covid. However it is their privacy I am concerned also as I don't want them to think it's OK to be surveilled.

3. Safety
Did I leave the stove on? Not so important, but since one entrance is a galley kitchen I easily monitor this and the rear entrance.

Is the basement flooding? This is actually a big one for me. Installing one here however would mean potentially spying on the landlord which I would not do without explicit permission.

Their interests are not aligned with mine. Many industry standards end up being user-hostile.
I'm still convinced that YouTube removed the dislike button because political content related to pro-vaccine propaganda from corporate media sources (sponsored by Pfizer by the way), and specifically the White House's channel, were receiving a flood of dislikes because people genuinely are upset with this administration and the overtly irresponsible corporations they openly embrace (approval ratings at an all time low).

We can't have a user base who largely disapproves of YouTube's propagandist political affiliates interested in unchecked corporate wealth, at the expense of average citizens, as our unelected czars misguide society, now can we?

The removal of dislikes came shortly after Jen Psaki announced that the Biden Administration would be working closely with social media providers to silence what they deem as misinformation (aka control the narratives everyone is exposed to). I believe this includes YouTube, as it's one of the most powerful mediums we have for sharing insight, and for critiquing our elected officials.

That couldn't be the reason they removed the dislike button at all, no, not a bit. Big government good. Big corporation good. Billionaire philanthropy always good, never bad. (eye roll) Need I go on?
