If this is a typical offer you should negotiate for both title and salary.

Titles are fungible and don’t cost the company. You may run up against some ego problems if you skip over the title of your supervisor but that’s about it. Taking what they offer isn’t your only choice.

The same is true of salary. They’re likely hoping you will take just a little more to join. If they won’t raise salary, seek a signing bonus, equity, or other incentives. Leverage the weak title to your advantage but emphasizing that the role is a step back and you’ll need some assurance/security/benefit beyond the small increase in salary.

I once worked with a guy who did all his coding in Squeak the way some do in Emacs.

He shipped enterprise code this way. Implementation language was Perl.
I’m assuming it was an exploit in Adobe reader. The target cloud have even been persuaded to install Adobe reader to “e-sign” the document. PDFs don’t have the best track record when it comes to security
Speed is just the measure of how fast it does something not a measure of what it's capable of doing. I wouldn't expect to divine more information like "what new things can it do" from that number alone outside "things we didn't have enough compute time for before we do now".

Lego style supercomputers are still very interesting in my eye though. As the technical complexity involved in scaling the raw compute performance has simplified to a "how many do you want" problem the technical complexity in the interconnects has remained interesting and innovative both for connectivity intra and inter node. You won't really see that in the FLOPS number that makes the headlines but the interconnect can be the difference between a type of workload being feasible or not. The main push here is how large you can make certain levels of shared memory access happen at what latencies to run larger jobs instead of just more jobs.

I think people will get tripped up by you saying it "can't" be OCR'd or that it is difficult to do so, and will end up looking past a pretty elegant solution in the process.

This seems like a nicely clever way to trip up non-targeted scrapers which might attempt to OCR any images they encounter, but which will ignore what looks like random gibberish codepoints. It doesn't eliminate the ability to index this data but I can see how it might greatly reduce it.

Obviously you could still convert these PDFs to an image and OCR them, but that's not the thing being defended against here.
Yes. It is assumed that China is downplaying how capable theirs are.
I'm fairly sure you can just open up any image (not sure if there's a limit on size or complexity) on a Mac and use the select all shortcut to grab all the text to use for whatever you'd like.

Why is it legal to take back DLC people bought without refunding them in full?
Everyone has become a sellout. When I was growing up this was considered a bad thing. Today it’s a virtue.
Is it even DRM or more closely just child-like ROT13?
Yes, it was broken, but by someone else, not me. I am not at (moral) fault for someone else breaking the contract.

But if I pull the lever (or pushed a fat man onto the track that would halt the train), I am the one who is responsible for the resulting death, which makes me the one who broke the contract.

That's the major dilemma here, because pulling the lever is the utilitarian-correct choice that saved more lives, but whoever pulled the lever went from being innocent to being a murderer.
There's more perceived wiggle-room with rationalizations, not actual wiggle-room.

The only moment in the scenario that matters is when you've made your choice and as others have said: it's binary. You pull the lever or you don't. The moral act is in making the choice, not what comes after. In that moment of choice you've expressed a hierarchy of your values.

Now, you might value most highly your own mental well-being, and making the most of that by rationalizing to yourself that you didn't actually make the choice that you just made. You might value your social standing or legal disposition the highest and make the choice accordingly. etc.

Of course, the scenario itself is a bit silly and not the kind of everyday living guidance that one will most likely have thought deeply about in anything than abstract moralistic terms. It's pretty rare to face that sort of scenario with that kind of consequence.
it would be hilarious if IBM is the immortal one and eventually buy out a limping AWS and keep the software running for the next N decades.
Back when Python was started there was really C or C++ for optimized programs and scripting languages like Python and Perl. But since Python had the ability for C Extensions it allowed it to bypass those problems. Since Python was easy to learn both web developers and scientists to learn. Then financial organizations started to get interested and that’s really how Python cemented itself.

What exactly do you do with Python that slows you down ?
Careers, reputation at stake. And who wants to be wrong? But yeah, I think there should be no "sacreds" in research.

For example, in the good reads article: " if you get people to voluntarily donate their DNA, for the explicit purpose of using it in scientific research, taking care to get informed consent forms signed, and then their tribe announces that they do not give consent for anyone in their tribe to take part in such research, what do you do? Ignore the issue of tribal-level consent, or deny the individuals the same right to self-determination (on having their DNA sequenced)"

That should not be controversial. If you're being scientific and you get consent from the individual, then yeah, go ahead!

It's as if you gave the police consent to your DNA and then some relative gets identified through your DNA and they try to toss out the case because they did not give consent.

I'm sympathetic to some extent that they want to keep some things private, like the Vatican wants to keep some things private, but still the Vatican nor anyone else should be above science.
Sure, but unbroken patrilineal or matrilineal lines of descent are rather improbable over such long times - any family that had only sons or only daughters breaks the line, and that's not particularly uncommon. Add some infidelity into the mix and it becomes even harder to believe.
But if you have a huge tax document, you're likely not going to screenshot page by page. Yes, there are ways to automate this. But if you're 50 year old divorce attorney, you're going to click on the "OCR" button in your PDF reader and it will not work.
> I'll admit I did consider writing an automated job to file a complaint against every home in Portland

I don't think it needs to be automated, just file a few/dozen or more complaints. Maybe choose really nice homes or the homes of your local politicians. I'm sure the folks over at /r/maliciouscompliance would love this.

The best part of the BeagleBones, in my opinion, was the onboard eMMC. Soooo much more reliable than running from sd cards at "scale".

In a former life, we had around 1k BB Blacks and 2k BB Greens deployed in greenhouse automation devices before that startup went bankrupt.

The processors were rather under-powered compared, but generally up to the task. Great little devices.
On Windows, Acrobat Reader has Protected Mode (sandbox) and Protected View (most features disabled) features [0], but people tend to disable it, in particular the Protected View, or don’t enable it for all locations. Or maybe the vulnerability wasn’t on Windows, or was in something like font rendering, or they used a different reader without sandboxing.

I saw this when the Palisade Crest was the farthest point. Now there is a line almost straight down. It's been almost 15 minutes since an update, I hope that wasn't a tragic accident.

Can someone confirm if there is some type of speed descent down from the Palisade Crest?

Update: it rerendered, now it looks like a rendering artifact (I hope).

The sad part is people with enough social awareness still linking these publications (ones that push a certain political agenda, in this case- far-right) probably do not perceive this as the sole truth rather as a means to defend the injustice they too deem right being carried out.

In other words, any justification possible for their views.
"I'll admit I did consider writing an automated job to file a complaint against every home in Portland that has a fence to make a point, but I suspect that point would be lost."

Well, I wonder how many hours would go by for someone to investigate this actually - a fun DOS in a way.

But nice solution with the gate, going to remember that!
Ah, ok. We're looking at the same thing from different perspectives then.

What I'm describing, which is the sense I've always seen that expression used as in engineering, and what GP was describing, is: this is an easy low-risk project that have a good chance of producing results.

E.g. If you tell me that your CRUD application suffers from slow reads, the low-hanging fruit is stuff like making sure your queries are hitting appropriate indices instead of doing full table scans, or checking that you're pooling connections instead of creating/dropping connections for every individual query. Those are easy problems to check for and act on that don't require you to try to grab the fruit hard-to-reach fruit at the top of the tree like completely redesigning or DB schema or moving to a new DB engine altogether.
Significant discussion yesterday:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31990364
"Let's roll" is an allusion to a self-sacrifice made on the moring of 11 September 2001, in which a group of unorganised civilians aboard United Airlines flight 93 stormed the cockpit within which armed hijackers were piloting the aircraft toward Washington, DC, having already killed the flight crew and several passengers. The group stormed the cockpit and overwhelmed the hijackers, crashing the aircraft into the ground in rural Pennsylvania. All 44 on board were killed, either in the crash or earlier by the hijackers. "Let's roll" were the last words uttered by passenger Todd Beamer via phone before the passengers swerved the bus, in this case, an aircraft.[1]

The plane's likely target, the US Capitol or the White House, were saved.

What "let's roll" resolves to is principled sacrifice for the greater goood.

There is no Pareto-optimal solution. That is, there is no action which causes no harm, or benefits all.

There are less pessimal solutions. There are courses of action which minimise net harm, or perhaps more significantly and apporpriately, maximise long-term survival, resilience, and net quality of life for many future generations.

We're having this discussion in the immediate context of a global pandemic whose reported deaths exceed six million souls with estimates of actual deaths from 15--26 million[2], in which both individuals and political leaders at city, state, and national levels refused to take or implement basic measures such as social distancing, masking mandates, and vaccine requirements, on the basis of claimed rights to attend spring break parties, "personal freedoms", pecuniary concerns (most of which appear to have been far more severely impacted by measures taken in their name), and similar short-sighted, selfish, and straight-up counterfactual bases.

Cory, I, and numerous others aren't saying there's a fairytale ending to this. There are simply less horrific variants of hell.

I've been reading Kim Staley Robinson's fiction book Ministry for the Future. Among the criticisms I've seen of it is Francis Fukuyama's, who finds the book unrealistic in that KSR seems to assume that everything goes right. Mind that "going right" includes mass terrorist response that destroys tens of thousands of commercial jetliners in flight and heatwaves killing tens of millions across South Asia.

Fukuyama is right in one regard, though. KSR is showing us what a best case (or close to it) scenario might look like. It is an optimistic book.

And it's still got some pretty awful parts.

The line we'll likely track will be far south of Robinson's plot. But the line we follow doing nothing is far further south still.

Or to quote another climate realist: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

How should we respond if we interview for a non-crypto job, and when we can't get any background on the company, they explain that they're in "stealth mode" to protect the advantage of surprise?

From time to time there are real startups that decide to fly under the radar until they're ready to show the world what they've built. Of course, many such companies turn out to be massive duds... Like Cuil.

You maybe don't allow pages to choose their own font? From what I understand it works by making a font that maps Latin characters to random Unicode points. So, unless for a specific text its respective font is used, text will appear gibberish.

Economy is strong under competent management, and weak under incompetent management.

Under democracy, the incompetent officials call be changed to let others try.

Under authoritarianism, those who speak again incompetent officials get silenced, and the everyone is stuck.

Democracy is not about being strong all the time, we already know such thing is impossible due to external events: trade partners recessions, trade disruptions, trade partner currency swings, large natural disasters. It prevents anyone from monopolizing power and using that to have everyone suffer from their incompetence for lifetime. (Also known as “Bad Emperor Problem” in context of Chinese history).

good direction but impractical.. a tech lead at Starbucks quipped "we don't actually know how many people work at Starbucks right now" .. huh? because, though they do have modern cloudy tech, there is meat-space time involved in edge transition from state of employed to not-employed, etc. So it is true, even with "perfect" observation of events, the leaders have ranges, not hard numbers.

So it is with markets. There are indistinct conditions that may exist for some time, and decay, and financial privacy, etc. So even given "perfect" observation of events, it is not fully transparent.

Nor would you want it, I argue. Once you as an individual are involved with markets and partners and committed relationships, some faceless bureacracy is tracking your parking spending? or more to the point, your ownership stakes? So we must re-invent public markets. Too much to change at once, and imperfect cooperation, so.. set a direction. "messy"
Don't really like the thesis offered in the actual link. The idea is the divergence between the equity price and the price of oil. This is the spot price of oil today. The equity is discounting future cashflows throughout the future. One explanation for the divergence is simply the market believes the price of oil will be significantly lower in future years.

>Funnily enough, its also exactly the thing that IRC users complain about when the matrix bridge converts multi-line messages to links.

I assume you're trying to say this is hypocritical, but it isn't.

The problem with multi-line messages becoming links is that the message is the context of the question. You have to reach for a browser just to read what the other person wanted to say.

Things like images and pastebins are ancillary to the message. You read the text part, decide whether you want to engage with it further, and then if you do you reach for a browser to see the image or pastebin.

Compare:

<h> hey guys im trying to install blub on ubuntu but it keeps complaining that my splines aren't reticulated. full error here: https://paste.rs/id123

with:

<h[m]> hey guys... (full message at https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/id123)

That last one is an actual example from an OFTC channel that's bridged to Matrix. It truncated at just two words because the original message had a newline after "guys".

Your opinion is asinine. If using the lane at that time/place to pass was not suitable it wouldn't be signed/marked for such. Increasing the time it takes for people to execute a pass is a regression in safety from the status quo.

> Some of them might be under their low cost branding but that’s still SNCF and a one-way trip is 37€ provided you book it one month in advance.

This is exactly their problem: over-the-counter tickets are prohibitively expensive, making them effectively operate like airlines if not worse, and taking all its drawbacks from the customer point of view but none of the advantages.

Domestic railways has recently been open to competition, but prices still haven't gone down much enough to match with the low-cost carriers they're competing with.

Why don't companies invest in better managers? It seems like it could help make their stores operate more efficiently and at the same time it would reduce the chances that the employees form a union, which is costly to the business.
I'm not sure this is Linkedin's problem to solve. They are just a directory.

I suppose they could add a phishing warning for messages sent on LinkedIn, but really it's an education problem, teaching people to identify what phishing emails look like and how to avoid them. This is a problem I've been working on since at least 2003, when we realized that the best way to prevent eBay account takeovers was teaching people what phishing is. We also identified that education is the hardest solution to achieve.

It's ironic that the security professionals are the ones hiding their identity, given that they are the best prepared to identify and avoid phishing emails.
> Remember that Trump got ~75 million votes, are all of them "paranoid and hateful"?

That's 75 million out of about 258 million Americans of voting age. Who are you trying to impress? That's not a majority, and if abstentions counted as votes for "none of the above" then Trump would be seen as the fucking loser he's been since around 1988, and Biden would be in a boomer gulag^W^Wnursing home where he belongs.

> What will happen when those Republicans - the same people who you are calling "hateful and paranoid" - win the next two election rounds which they seem to be poised to do?

I expect them to become even more openly fascist than they've been thus far. It will happen here, and maybe we need to lose the republic before we can understand the value of keeping it.

The tree of liberty might be overdue for a good watering.

> Do you expect them to take your opinions into consideration

That would imply that they currently do so, or used to in the past. I won't say that Republicans want me dead because I'm a working-class, autistic, openly bisexual atheist and the child of an interracial marriage, but I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of them wouldn't so much as piss on me if I was on fire.

I agree, that's very interesting! I also omit articles when talking about software, except when talking about a particular instantiation of the software; for example "Windows supports Nvidia hardware", but "the Windows installation on this device is broken". (And, indeed, "Windows installation is broken in the presence of NVMe drives" would mean, to me, that _all_ new Windows installers are broken for NVMe drives.)
