If cryptocurrencies can even be called "technology".

I have enough skills to implement a crypto currency from scratch. Some building blocks there are impressive and very useful: public key signatures, hashes. _Maybe_ ciphers and polynomial hashes as well. Those things I cannot design though I did implemented from specs (it was a ton of work). But as we all know, those blocks existed long before cryptocurrencies, and have lots of other uses.

Then you have the chained hash, which is basically a degenerated form of Merkle trees (patented in 1979) that look like a Git commit history. Git was first published in 2005, Bitcoin first appeared in 2008. Then you have proof of work (some computation that is hard to do, but easy to verify), which was an established technique before Y2K.

In the end, the one idea Bitcoin introduced that may not be obvious is this idea of a "longest chain", based on proof of work. We have proof of stake as well, but for now I’m waiting for Ethereum to implement it at scale to believe in it (right now most transactions happen in proof of work).

It’s a stretch to call that "technology".
Except that quite a few people with bipolar disorder and addiction issues would say they are mentally ill.
Are you trying to dispel concerns about remote attestation with "set up the environment properly"? Because that is exactly what has people worried - what is "proper" and who decides it.

Or have I misunderstood you, and you're claiming that Pluton either does not support remote attestation, or allows the owner to fake it? Because as far as I can tell from available information on Pluton and TPM modules, both those claims are false.
It isn't. Issues sucks for tracking tasks.
is Alcoholism a mental illness - https://www.portstluciehospitalinc.com/ufaqs/is-alcoholism-a...

Yes. According to the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a diagnosable mental illness.
When I understand it right, is not the whole point of this change that also topics which are not "woke"/left can also show up?

Not sure if I get it completely :)
Dae Kwon lives in Singapore, I imagine he'll find a friendly jurisdiction outside of US regulators.
He picked him, like he picked Ballmer. Not because of the cash but because he wanted that particular person on board and they were particularly adamant about joining in that particular fashion.
What is woke propaganda?
> It’s funny how rare it is for people to realise the obvious - that the chargers should be in the road, not taking the little amount of public space not given to cars

Work has already started on the tech to allow this. They plan on using wireless charging. Mostly it's planned for supermarkets and what not just now, but I suspect it'll get added to standard roads over time. The main issue is getting car manufacturers to support it but they seem to be looking to add it over the next few years.
Who said it failed?

Heroku might be a bit long in the tooth, but has a solid company behind it and it a lot easier than fooling around with Capistrano, Ansible or heaven-help-us Kubernetes.

Trust me, I've tried them all, and for a fairly standard Rails app Heroku just works.

The lack of HTTP2 is a bit embarrassing though.

Certainly. Southpark made a name for itself by being a show kids really wanted to watch although/because their parents really didn't want them to watch it. It's been controversial since it first aired.
Mostly a skill, it is not really taught in CS because implementation is cheap but physicists, traditional engineering (electrical etc.) and some business schools all use aspects of estimation.
I don't think that supports your argument, I think you actually would be justified to ask the world to accommodate you.

Some examples? And could you please define “woke propaganda”?

Asking because the term is used to mischaracterize a broad range of views by, ironically, large scale propaganda / fear mongering outlets.
I've lost a lot of friends. I've had people tell me they can't stand me because their Dad was an abusive alcoholic. I lost a job because of a manic episode. I know it's hard for normies to understand so I have compassion for their lack of understanding.

It's because the political class in Pakistan is already a puppet in the hands of its Military. It's one of the few countries where the nuclear codes and strike decisions are in the hands of the military and not the civilian government. They control a puppet party which almost always gets a fixed number of seats from backward provinces. This party then becomes the king maker and hence controls who is at the helm of civilian government. The previous one (Imran Khan) also came into power with their support and so does the new one.
I might be late to the show, but here goes:

It's tough to follow other's advice on how to design programs. Each program is different, and applying a paint-by-numbers approach like making everything an object just adds unnecessary bloat to the code. The code should always be crystal-clear, so following design frameworks is not going to be helpful. You are pretty much on your own in terms of design.

A good rule of thumb for designing programs is to prioritize code simplicity. It's fine if it's too simple -- once a piece of code no longer works, iterate and redesign it. Generally, simple code is most flexible. Puting off design decisions until later => more knowledgeable decisions => less technical debt => more flexibility later on.

Be very wary of making abstractions early on. Spaghetti codebases usually result because of bad abstractions. Don't be ashamed of duplicating code many times, as long as it's simpler to read than interfaces and implementations.
It's currently volatile because there's lots of hype about it. But when it all dies down the value would more or less stablize to the value it provides for its only true use-case.

>> Rust's popularity

Is Rust actually popular? I know that question is inviting downvote oblivion on here but on the off chance of attracting a thoughtful comment (and because I secretly want to really fall for rust, i love the idea and think we badly need the next step on from C-based foundations, but the pragmatic side of me just rolls around laughing at rust) here’s where i’m coming from:

- There’s not much in the way of job postings
- There’s no halo product yet, servo appears to have gone nowhere? If it makes it into Linux *that* will launch the lang for sure
- There’s no halo company championing it, mozilla has never moved away from churning out c++ and js primarily, microsoft made some noise but then crickets
- it’s been around about as long as Go yet its google trends search traffic is around 1/16th that of Go’s
- The only large rust code bases on github are servo and the rust compiler/stdlib itself

The only metric i can find where rust scores well is the stack dev survey and the number of tutorials posted online. If there was actual traction alongside these two metrics, rust would be a rocketship. But without any obvious successes in the world so far, it’s beginning to look like a handy way to identify devs susceptible to stockholm syndrome.

There’s all sorts of weird signs in the community that makes me think the median rust “user” has a rust career something like:

1. Downloaded rust
2. Installed the wrong plugin in VSCode (why is the correct plugin - rust analyzer - so low on downloads and votes, yet the dead plugin is still getting tons of traffic? Is noone actually reading the documentation?)
3. Followed a hello world tutorial, marveled at the genuinely awesome compiler errors
4. Full of enthusiasm, started a side project and… gave up after a few nights but who knew, they wanted to solve a problem not add lifetimes onto the existing stack of problems to wrestle with.

AFAICT the future’s not looking bright for rust right now. It’s coasting on a wave of enthusiasm from relatively junior developers who aren’t making impressive things with the language yet.

This is a strongly typed language with lifetimes understood by the compiler - that’s a rocket suit compared to a language like the tire fire that is javascript. Enums? Pah excuse me while i pass a string literal…

With this rust exo-skeleton surrounding a developer, it should be unlocking the ability to manage 10million+ LOC code bases like it’s hello world.
What labor shortage? In software engineering or other organizations? It's certainly not the former, at least not for companies of any notability (e.g. Netflix). I work for a well-known company, not as big as FAANG but well on its way and at least as big as any other major tech company in the news. Our engineering shortage is due to the artificial bar we set for hiring. Our recruiters each have dozens of resumes and applications to sift through on a given day. Far less than 1% of these ever make it to a tech screen, and I think the rate of our panel interviews is in the low double-digit percent of that figure. There isn't an engineering shortage. There's a shortage of engineers that don't meet some incredibly stupid, ego-driven arbitrary gate-keeping policies.
Even with location-based pay adjustments, big tech has had a growing presence in Canada, and it's becoming more and more realistic to land roles in the upper range of the trimodal comp distribution curve.

Location based adjustments for a USD 300k/yr IC role do make up for a huge pay ceiling increase compared to a decade ago where senior dev @ CAD 120k was a ceiling for IC roles before needing to pivot into management.
From the introduction to the article:

> In this post I argue that we should move away from the GPL and related licenses (LGPL, AGPL), for reasons that have nothing to do with Stallman
Finding an instance where RMS has gaffed up really isn’t hard. That he is to create controversies is pretty much expected of him nowadays.

Kinda like “Oh it’s nothing. It’s just RMS being RMS”.

That said, that petition was an unsubstantiated SJW attack on a person of principle, over some FSF-internal personnel-matters where the “offended” party really didn’t have much offence to show for.

In fact the petition was so unsubstantiated that it resulted in a counter-petition which quickly outranked the original petition by a factor of 6.

This site attempts to provide a more correct picture of these matters: https://stallmansupport.org/

That's hilarious. No wonder /g/ ridicules the Tildeverse whenever it's brought up.
You can if it undermines and alienates the other 90-70%.

I'm not suggesting Nf should. But one persons offended is another's appealing. The volume of a voice is independent of its depth & breadth.
> What Netflix just did wasn't pushing back against this fictious overly powerful activism

As far as I can gather, the walkout happened. The activism in their company isn't fictitious and this memo is a response to it. Of course "overly powerful" is subjective, but evidently netflix management felt the problem was serious enough to address bluntly.
Tried both and like Dokku more. Might make a nice web interface for it for myself.
> But deserialization runs into a roadblock, because you cannot implement interfaces like json.Unmarshaler on an interface type.

In addition to introducing the wrapper type, this could also be fixed by using a JSON decoder implementation that supports type/location hooks. In other words, this is more of a limitation of the custom unmarshaling mechanism chosen by the builtin encoding/json package.
Flickr. Losing to nothing except terrible leadership and ham-fisted attempts to monetize.
Stablecoins without collateral backing them have repeatedly failed (and they failed when they were tried before crypto too), but dai/rai/usdc are working fine.

At this point I’d like to sees US regulation around $ stablecoins so we can use something else and reduce the power of the US dollar in the world. Go ahead America, regulate yourselves.
Back in 2007-2008 I, an economics graduate, was snubbed by developers, even though I showed a working prototype and examples of works since 1998!

DB developers also snubbed, even though I asked to show a working database app made at analyst position.

I showed a hand-made website with Javascript and PHP backend, and they snubbed that I didn't use frameworks.

Finally, in 2009 I got a web dev position with humiliating remarks. Only at the next company, a small web studio, the chief dev said "great, because if you did it by hand, it means you know the internal gears better than the framework guys", hired me and taught me some frameworks, which I learned quickly.

I understand that people are afraid they'd have to babysit the new developer, but I showed them lots of things, and it still didn't matter. Maybe they were afraid I'd leave their shitty job, IDK.

So, some standard framework used in the industry is a must. Plus, if a company is bigger than 20 people, snobs start running the hiring process.

Nowadays, well, if you want to slightly change the field of work, you're given a huge task to build a whole app, and then are nitpicked at insufficient comments, not clear code, not making useless classes, not using useless async, and so on. Nobody looks at your github project where you have those features. I guess, a single child-less guy could do this in 3 nights on RedBull, but I don't think I could. I'm quite discouraged.
Funny - I find Netflix content keeps getting better. Dark, Ozark, Unorthodox, Russian Doll, Sense8, Love Sex & Robots, The OA.

Not as good as HBO - but honestly it seems close. If anything - HBO's content seems to be on the decline more than Netflix. It's still top notch, but it used to be outstanding.

Netflix is really mastering the wide appeal & good enough content: 13 Reasons Why, Elite, Bridgerton, Bird Box, etc...

It seems like the shows everyone is talking about are always either HBO or Netflix.

Disney is obviously dominating in popularity at the box office with Marvel.
And now you're straight up lying. The whole purpose of the TPM is to hide cryptographic keys from anyone with physical access, including the owner. There is no override an owner can perform (via, say, a password set on first boot, that may be used to dump all the keys from the TPM into RAM).

It may not by itself force you to encrypt your disk, but it does enable all the abuses listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing#Criticism, that I won't waste summarizing, as it's becoming increasingly obvious you're arguing in bad faith.
Delicious, or del.icio.us, the bookmarking site [1], which popularized tagging as an information management technique. Very popular in the decade of the 2000s. Founded by Joshua Schachter in 2003, acquired by Yahoo in 2005. A leaked memo from Yahoo in 2010 said they were "sunsetting" the site, leading to an exodus of users. Sold by Yahoo in 2011 to another company that ruined it. Acquired by Pinboard in 2017, but not revived.

It’s natural to want to impose your will by force and make everything you don’t like illegal. But consider that tomorrow, the roles might be reversed and the boot might be on your neck.
I think the big problem is nobody knows what the heck they’ve encountered.

If you do it naturally people can figure it out: make the road very narrow but technically wide enough for two cars and people will hug the center naturally.
Something like devs @ E7+. Also E5+ MLE’s can still apply. Then I think there’s still enterprise engineering, production engineering, & business engineering. I think PM’s and the like are allowed to apply too.

Not a good time to be a recruiter in a lot of companies though.
I think it is really only governments that are interested in perpetuating the narrative that the US and Canada are very different. They concern themselves with Canadian identity and culture (even via direct investment) while every Canadian that I know could care less about these things. No one I know is particularly worried about Anne of Green Gables going out of style.
North American isn't typically used to refer to people at all. But in geopolitical contexts, it definitely refers to the entire continent (e.g. NAFTA)

Usually startups but I’m not talking like 9pm. I’m talking like starting at 6 or 7pm.

I mostly meant that in reference to prep but some startups will interview on weekends too. They’re a lot more flexible - obviously. It does mean your own WLB will likely suffer too though.

Alternatively - quit your job and interview for American jobs while visiting Europe if you perform better at night. ;) (I am planning to do some of this but not because I perform better at night but because I am burnt out and need change)

It's impossible to carry on a normal conversation next to a running two stroke regardless of muffling. I support a complete ban on those engines in city and most suburban limits, electric versions of the various tools which run on them are adequate and much, much quieter.

This is fully justifiable not on noise alone, which can be mitigated, but the unacceptable level of hazardous particles released by incomplete oil combustion, which cannot be. Better to write them off like leaded gasoline, the tradeoffs aren't worth it.
Another factor of the Indian national government's failure with COVID vaccines was simply not sending any significant amounts of money to the companies that were either manufacturing them under contract like the Serum Institute of India (SII, largest in the world by doses, 1.5 billion/year in 2020). After that second wave, as far as I know the first really big wave hit, the CEO of the SII had to flee the country because of threatening demands he was getting from various powerful figures in various part of the country.

Although the SII also suffered from supply chain issues like everyone else, such as a world wide shortage of 2,000 L sterile plastic bags in which to culture cells and probably bacteria like the E. Coli used in the first step of making the mRNA vaccines.
If Google's only revenue was from users they would have more incentive making features that encourage those users to keep paying them.
I really don't understand why people are down voting you for this. The end does not justify the means. There are much better ways to tell the story of how young girls are hypersexualized without sexualizing the young girls in the process.

You don't have to watch a documentary on the Zodiac Killer and get presented with unedited video of him actually killing his victims to understand that he was an evil individual. And you don't have to watch:

> Frequent scenes of 11-year-old girls dancing lewdly where the camera pans in and zooms in on the children's buttocks and midsections (both still in skin-tight clothes) Close up shots of the girls dancing with their leg spread above their head while camera focus on crotch area. These views are fairly frequent.

> Four preteen girls mimic the dance movements they see in hip-hop/rap music videos including: slapping each other's buttocks, kissing their hands and then touching their crotches, rubbing their buttocks together, and making seductive faces while sticking their fingers in their mouth.

> Two young girls in bed view the dance routine of a rival dance team. One (considerably older) girl from the rival team, Sweety Swag, lifts her shirt and bra and fully exposes her right breast.

To understand that the sexualization of young girls is bad. All those descriptions are from the IMDB parents guide https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9196192/parentalguide/nudity
Same thing.

Let them eat cake.
This post is getting downvoted, but it does bring up an interesting point. The idea of judging a book by it's cover seems to be universally criticized. But especially with movie trailers, it can be unambiguously clear how the movie is being sold and what the intent is. I haven't seen Cuties or its trailer, so I'm not speaking specifically about it. But I would say trailers say quite a bit more about a movie than covers say about books. OP said that the movie was actually a criticism of child sexualization. If that's the case (which it may or may not be) and the trailer would generally be considered as instead selling child sexualization (which it may or may not), then there's something missing unless the trailer is being ironic, which seems unlikely given that the topic doesn't seem like a very appropriate subject for irony.
