I think the parent author may be talking about life in a phenomenological model as in how we experience something vs knowing about it epistemologically. Often that gets mixed up. Knowing doesn't equal experiencing. This is something often the technocrats misses.
Exactly, but do you realize that's tax evasion in Argentina? By law[0], all foreign income must be converted into ARS (Argentinian Peso) using the Government rate/bank rate.

And yes, I meant "tax evasion", not "tax avoidance". "Tax evasion" the illegal version of the topic.

You keep saying Juul was "incompetent" and "stupid" when it's neither. Marketing to children is a very calculated and well-tested means of peddling drugs. A better way to describe it is malicious, diabolical or downright evil.
Just make sure to either set the thing to not go to sleep while connected to a power supply in the developer settings, get a wake lock for your specific application or use another app to keep the device awake. Android phones make for versatile sensor-rich platforms for monitoring/media/etc. applications. They come with their own wifi hotspots, 3/4G communications, several cameras, microphones, motion sensors, compass, gyroscope, light sensors, proximity sensors, magnetic sensors and more. They even have their own built-in UPS so... get hackin'.

Exactly. Apple was already taken by the fruit. I see taking "ownership" of common words a form of forced irrational compliance and to some degree a form of extortion at least by my definition of extortion.
Note 1:

It's not contradictory.

I'll give an example: Landmines are a good tool for slowing an enemy army. However, if your military consists of *just* landmines, it won't be very effective. That doesn't make landmines a bad tool. Indeed, even a super-weapon, like the first jet fighter, won't win a war if it's your *only* tool.

Learning -- even a language -- is a complex process, and you need many tools. Spaced repetition is awesome for factoids. If you want to learn a language, you need to memorize vocabulary. SR is great for that. If you add 5-15 minutes of spaced repetition to a good language program, it will help a lot. If that's where you spend a majority of your time, you'll learn very little. However, SR won't help you practice a broad range of skills around listening, speaking, understanding communication styles, or quite a few other things.

Ditto with physics and math. If you know equations, it accelerates everything else. However, the bulk of the knowledge isn't factual or procedural; it's conceptual. Simply memorizing formulas won't help you. On the other hand, in most cases, once you learn conceptual knowledge in physics, you never forget it.

"Coding vocabulary" isn't in my top-50 problem with junior developers. Naming variables, algorithms, systems design, etc. are. Most of those don't align to SR. I'd take a programmer who spends 8 hours coding over one who spends 8 hours memorizing library calls in an SR system.

Note 2:

The spacing effect is /somewhat/ broadly applicable (but far from universal), but spaced repetition specifically is only helpful for factoid-style knowledge. You can look over the different classifications of knowledge, skills, and abilities (factual, conceptual, procedural, declarative, etc.).

> Many of the devs I've had to work with were more interested in building pristine codebases with clever abstractions and ability to scale to unnecessary numbers of users or bytes.

I've worked with my share of them, but I've also worked with my share orders who'll hack together the quickest possible kludge that meets enough of the requirements to seem to work on the surface.

Interestingly, given the choice, I'd have some of both those types on my team. I really like having the "architecture astronauts" being involved in the very early stage of greenfield projects. Their desire to push the boundaries can help ensure you start off on a great foundation. I also really like having "that guy" who can hack minified javascript and manually deploy it on prod servers to fix a critical bug _right now_ while someone else goes through the "proper process" to get it into the repo and through the CICD...

But you really really need a majority of your dev team who'll take the proper pragmatic approach, or at least who can be cajoled into doing so.
Smoking, and thus e-cigarettes, seems to have become a culture war issue. The plausible post-hoc rationalized reason that people didn't like cigarettes is because they are extremey unhealthy - now that the topic of discussion is e-cigarettes, which have little evidence of being significantly unhealthy, and people still seem to despise them suggests that there is something much more interesting going on sub-perceptually.

Code vs. No-code
idky Apple doesn't just take over the office, interface their software and devices with Exchange and Office365 and Active-Directory more cleanly and more stably than Microsoft can. Apple should have an application on iDevices that provides office word processing, office mail, office spreadsheet, office telephony, all the office apps in one app that looks like a desktop, such that with BT keyboard and smallish 1080p monitor (actually I'd prefer 1024x768) would replace all the non-power users', non-developer desktops (secretaries, customer support, VPs, etc.), save offices a bundle of money on hardware, and beat Microsoft at it's own game without killing Microsoft's Office environment, yet. Then when Apple Office becomes ubiquitous because it's so much cheaper and so much better than Microsoft, replace Microsoft's backend Exchange servers with Apple appliance hardware that doesn't need any administration other than adding and deleting users/groups, etc., and a plugin replacement for Office365 (am I the only one that thinks this is a clunky monstrosity?) back at Apple data centers, and not quite cut out all Microsoft with Apple alternatives that just work better, but allow any Poindexters to continue to run Windows and MS Office Suite and still integrate seamlessly. Active Directory is probably the best thing Microsoft ever did, got it the most right of all endeavors. It could still be a lot better and a lot simpler. It's just LDAP.

But Apple still walks around Microsoft like they'e stepping on egg shells, and for the life of me I can't figure why.
They’re far from stupid. They want to be a part of success and changing the world. Sure, Elon turned into Dr. Evil and took advantage of people and we have to get better at helping people realize this but they’re not morons.

> The fact that you give something away at no charge (but actually make money or even if you don't make money) is not a reason you can then walk away and not have any responsibility at all for anything and everything. (Or shouldn't be).

I'm very sympathetic to OP's situation, I have also lost an account with years of irreplaceable emails to Google's finicky algorithms. But this right here is a slippery slope I would never wish for. Offering a free product should absolutely not entitle any random user to any kind of support. I should be able to release a product (whether open-source, free, or paid) and decide for myself and my business the level of support I want to provide, without an obligation to respond to everyone, or maintain it forever.

It really sucks that Google's business plan is totally cool with leaving some of us behind, but I'd rather take the risk that comes with the territory rather than not see these products get created in the first place due to onerous obligations.
It looks less compelling than premium chromebooks in the same price tier.

At the very least, even if it's not a chromebook, I feel like every snapdragon laptop should be a 2 in 1 with a wacom layer. Windows 11 has both hardware and platform support to do android emulation well. A non convertible doesn't make sense. I hope we see more in the future and it was delayed simply because of some delay on the supply chain.

The display is a huge disappointment but I have noticed that with ThinkPad it usually takes 2 or 3 generations of a new laptop line before it feels polished. The fact that this is a 300 nit screen while even some of the most budget Android phones and tablets have gorgeous high brightness displays seems more than an oversight though. With a laptop sized battery and the power efficiency of a snapdragon processor, I imagined they would have a huge energy budget for the screen. Charging speed isn't marketed which makes me wonder if it will be lackluster. It uses usb pd 3 and both the 45w and 65w chargers are listed as compatible in the manual in addition to specifying usb c pd 3 compatibility.

I look forward to seeing more from this line. Too bad there's really poor support for booting into Ubuntu. On the other hand WSL2 has matured to a point where I would feel comfortable working in it with non graphic intensive applications and can't see any other glaring expected pain points. Other than thr fact that there's no windows 11 vgpu driver available for snapdragon arm64. So no proper hardware gpu acceleration in wsl2 apps.

Seems like a great concept that is making weird compromises. I think it can be a serious contender for everyday use once these few things are taken care of and it's stuffed into a 2 in 1 form factor. And 3:2 aspect ratio would be a cherry on top.

Heartbleed isn't a TLS vulnerability any more than an overflow in GnuTLS is.

The threshold question is, "could this vulnerability be reasonably expected to recur in independent implementations of the protocol?"

As for stripping back TLS 1.1 --- it wouldn't take much more than simply picking a single ciphersuite and requiring TLS 1.1. You wouldn't need to know, for instance, about export ciphers.
Hi. Former engineer turned PM here.

Wow, you're spinning some wild stereotypes here, and while some are based in truth (as are all good stereotypes), I'm going to take issue with this:

> PMs won't be honest with the business that they sold an undercooked product. Need to suddenly scale up that "pragmatically" designed database? I know in my heart that many PMs will _never_ manage expectations with their superiors if they can harangue developers into overtime, out-of-hours alerts or death marches.

While I've certainly seen incompetent, bureaucratic and/or poorly incentivized PMs, I don't think I've ever met one who wants to throw their developers under the bus to get a job done. I'm not saying it doesn't exist anywhere, ever (big world out there), but you've made a couple faulty assumptions:

1) A PM is not "a middle manager". It's generally a non-management position, despite the title. The classical "PM" has to use soft force for everything, and only gains authority through a history of doing the job well. We're constantly managing expectations in every direction, and "up" is just one more.

2) Even if we were "middle managers", those amongst us who have been working for a while realize it's bad practice to leave a trail of burned-out colleagues behind us, due to a history of bad decision-making.

I'll add a third, specific to my own history:

3) one reason PMs might not "care" about scaling up that database, is that it almost never needs to be scaled. Seriously.

The engineer side of my brain wants to optimize everything. The PM side is always having to remind that side that most of my engineering life was spent in a cycle of useless premature optimization. The war continues.

Anyway, it might be good to talk to your PMs and not assume they're evil villains. And if I'm wrong and you're working in a truly Machiavellian hellhole...you should look around. I hear it's a pretty good job market.
Oh lawd, at our client people recently pushed that idea, too. Unfortunately, managers were all on board ("Every team will be able to release autonomously and much faster!!!11") and it became politically impossible to argue for alternatives that won't result in dependency and infrastructure hell. So here we are now, splitting off every single page of a god damn legacy web shop into a separate micro frontend, each of which will be running on a completely different stack (some SPA, some traditional SSR with jQuery), living in a separate repository and with a separate microservice in the backend. But how does one share common UI components, you ask? Well, obviously by enabling Server-Side Includes on the ingress server. Duh.
i got sick of the charting toolchains and wrote a .ps which, when concatenated with a two-column file of datapoints, treated the first row as axis labels, auto scaled the x and y axis and printed a chart.

I don't connect my real-life identity to my personal identity.

I am the primary author (but not current maintainer) of an open-source project which is reported to be used by over 100 million people, according to (flaky) statistics kept by the current maintainers. That's around 1% of the people in the world.

I don't trust the current maintainers to be honest with numbers (there are lots of ways to estimate numbers of users), but it's definitely in the millions, and it's a project you (and most random people you'll meet in tech, and many outside of tech) will have heard of.

I am currently working on earlier-stage projects, which have smaller communities, but 100% of them are open-source.
Dutch conversation at a distance sounds close enough to English that I have great difficulty telling them apart.
Lots of comments about lightning, but I believe you are referring to a "ground loop" where the ground/neutral at one site is offset from that of a different site tens or hundreds of meters away.

(Note that PoE Ethernet can still create similar problems if one is not careful.)

I don't really have printers at all any more, but cheapish Brother "laser" printers were my preference for low volumes on Linux and still being able to get networking/duplex/postscript etc. I too had no faith that spending more would get a better printer elsewhere.

> You could access the containers at 106.12.52.111 if you were in the same network (e.g. 106.12.52.0/24) and the packets did not have to traverse a router.

Ok thanks, that's sort of what I thought (you had to be on the same network) but I wasn't 100% on that because networking has a lot of rabbit holes.

Your gist is very well written and a great find but based on the scope of the vulnerability this wouldn't be classified as a catastrophic event right?

If it's only limited to the attacker and the Docker host being on the same network while packets never go through a router then it's not an issue for the common case of someone hosting their web app or service on a VPS somewhere on the internet and have used 127.0.0.1:XXXX:XXXX to publish a port (perhaps their web app is published to localhost so nginx running directly on the Docker host can reverse proxy it -- this is what I've done for years now).
microfront ends work well for self contained components that need to be used in multiple pages, they don't even need to have a "separate" backend, as long as there is an area or code file for the backend code that deals with whatever data the microfront end needs.
I think it could actually be a pretty good strategy to optimize your job search for the degree to which you might be able to go rogue and get away with it.
> From talk about regulating the size of big gulps to mandating paper straws to legalization of marijuana and the banning of smoking products, this country is going insane.

Smoking marijuana and big gulps are very different from paper straws. Rules around smoking and soda sizes are the government legislating freedoms. I personally don't mind regulations here, but I agree it's taking away your liberty to some extent. Paper straws are mandated for a completely different reason: because they impose an externality that the user doesn't adequately pay for. Philosophically these bans are for the same reason we don't allow you to leave garbage on a public bench or dump toxic waste in a river. Again, you can debate the merits of single-use plastic legislation, but I wouldn't lump it together with smoking and soda bans at all.
You're making a choice to prioritize whatever unsaid things Google is giving you without support over a company (or set of companies) who will give you something different but with support. That's totally fine, so long as realize that that's the choice that you're making.

One of them will always go to the food first and then check out the catnip after. The third is entirely indifferent to catnip and will walk right past it.

i think the crux of the matter is to use the right tool for the job once you fought hard not to use that tool. Too many devs see something shiny and want to incorporate it into their workflow somehow, this is what introduces bad complexity, instead you should try very hard not to use something shiny until you realize overwhelmingly that using it would be a net win.
