> As you start thinking about what to major in, start pondering this very scary question: what professional area do you want to get in?

That's probably one of the least inspiring posts I've read on the topic, I doubt many people would choose to study challenging and rewarding degrees like philosophy based on that thinking. Fortunately that's not the only way to rationalize a degree choice. Not everyone gets an education in order to found a VC-backed startup, the only thing that seems to really count as a worthwhile life goal to this person. Maybe apart from becoming a NASA engineer (preferably before starting a VC-backed tech startup).
Even so, let's say that was a 10x day ... the question still has merit.
Nobody who is mastering records gives a damn about bluetooth boomboxes or phone speakers; and there is no way to optimize for a phone speaker and the "Maxell blown away" stereo setup.
I wouldn't say they ignore the law, but legislation like FOIA has a lot of discretion to balance competing interests and that's where a judge would make the most different despite all the great articulations of the most brilliant lawyers.
I combine both freely. I have a "wiki" part that's mostly starting pages for individual topics, a structure notes part that are a cross between a draft article and an index page. They're concepts I'm trying to work out. A Zettelkasten part with linked "claims" where I put original thoughts. And tons of free form logs and blog post drafts and topic driven writing. It's all linked together and it's a lot of fun. here's the public part: https://publish.obsidian.md/manuel/Public/INDEX
When you are actively hiding documents during discovery for no ethical reason, its easy to make a mistake. It's not like you can have a folder labled - Withheld discovery DO NOT SEND on your server.

Which is what he did, and why there are two default judgements against him.

It doesn't matter how right you are, or how stupid a lawsuit against you is - if you don't show up, you aren't likely to win.
> And if so, what level of fame does someone have to have before it's legal to say what you think about them in public?

Obviously subjective and would be determined in a court of law (public figure vs not a public figure). And besides, there are still limits to that regardless. If you publish a damaging lie about a public figure, they can sue you for very large amounts of money as they see fit. For example, if you're the NY Times and you print that a very famous actor is a pedo, and do so without enormous amounts of proof, prepare for an epic lawsuit that you will lose badly.
There is a zero perfect chance that Elon settles for anything near 12 billion as that is in the ballpark of what he was going to put into it. It'd just be cheaper to buy the company if he had to settle for that much.
Or adjusted for wealth.
I suppose it is a bit of a "mind your own damn business" thing of me to have said it that way, but for what it's worth (and as embarrassing as it may be, considering it's various low ratings compared to it's "middle power" brethren) the US is still barely hanging on to the torch for anti-authoriarian poster child duties, and is easily the biggest obstacle for some other large powers that appear to have an even less stellar track record.

That being said, there might also be some soft spots considering how practically duct taped together this country has been since, always. It's...a unique situation, all things considered.

To be honest though, it still doesn't feel too productive unless the audience still holds an overly optimistic assessment of the whatabout, and even then, it's a bit...Lacking. I'm not sure, it feels like I'm lowering the standards expected overall if I'm simply comparing levels of shitiness relative to other levels of shitiness.

At this point, I've come to believe that spamming and cold calling does not make money. It's sociopathy. Phone and email spammers do it solely to cause pain and suffering.

Back in the 2000-2005 time frame, email spammers would put real addresses to email back. If you complained, you'd usually get a threat reply: they'd snow you with spam emails. You were supposed to "just hit delete" or they'd punish you with what you complained about.

Same with cold callers. Before IVR/VRU became cheap, you'd get humans, mostly north Americans. They would let you waste their time over and over.

It's not money these psychos are after. It's pain, suffering and inflicting their will on the unwilling.

Are you saying stochastic terrorism should be legal?
Buts it's hard to claim privledge on documents you claimed did not exist. The Judge could review said documents and indicate they should have been proivided during discovery and sanction the laywers. The judge already went nuclear with issuing a default judgement against Jones.

Default judgement was entered in part for the games played by Jone's team during discovery. Hard to appeal that decision when your defense is "You can't punish us for lying just because we accidently sent you the truth."
This isn't merely crass and dishonest its a crime. The solution is honestly to start making examples of people.

If someone stole all the parts of a thousand dollar bike start by suing them for the thousand bucks and then add all the employee time burned dealing with the matter. If they don't want to settle burn them for the entire cost of the litigation to recover those funds. If they can't pay then go to court and take absolutely anything that the court will late you take and attach their wages for eternity. Publish their names on a fraud page along with evidence of the crime and how much they paid you this month until its paid off.

Threaten absolutely every person who commits an obvious crime against your company and pick 1 a year and ruin their lives. The obvious fact is even a small crime like a $50 fraud is a multi thousand dollar bill if a lawyer ends up being a required step to collect.

Change the expectation that you will trivially get away with crime to an expectation that you will likely be hit with bill for your misbehavior.

> The Southern Poverty Law Center is ideologically committed to certain positions.

Against hate groups, violence and malice directed at people for innate facts about themselves. Not that it makes them a reliable polling organization, but the “ideological” position deserves mention because unfamiliar readers might mistakenly think their ideological position is something more specific and contentious. Their “ideological” position is that nazis and the klan are bad, and that people (figuratively or faithfully) doing nazi/klan cosplay are doing harm. That’s not Mao’s Red Book ideology or even “I heart John Boener” bumper stickers ideology. It’s just “murdering and torturing millions of people for who they are is wrong” ideology, and that matters when you’re calling out bias.

> Breitbart […] Media Matters?

It seems you’re trying to be “inclusive” by dismissing biased hypothetical pollsters, so I’ll grant that. But I will also emphasize this:

> Stick to organizations that do polling for a living.

That’s the only part of your comment that actually matters for digesting polls. Organizations which do polling for a living either produce polling with some meaningful reliability or rapidly develop a reputation for their poor track record. As an example, Fox News. They’re generally understood to be ideologically motivated. I doubt I’ve ever agreed with them on anything ideological, and if I had it’s something I’d really deeply reconsider. But they’re a reliable polling organization, quite a bit more than the organizations you mention.
Even better is when they do show the 'cache' button but don't actually have anything cached, so if the site is down their 'cache' is broken. They think users are too stupid to notice.
For encryption, as opposed to hashing, you can’t have multiple inputs map to the same output, because then you wouldn’t be able to decrypt the output.

What special treatment?
Worse, QBasic was limited to one segment of 64k, or what Borland called the "small memory model." If the code and inline data was larger it couldn't run.

Many programs would inline machine code and jump to it to get around limitations like that.

Design with Materials, Not Features
There's an easier problem here, which is that our reliance on formal standards bodies for the selection of cryptography constructions is bad, and, not hardly just at NIST, has been over the last 20 years mostly a force for evil. One of the most important "standards" in cryptography, the Noise Protocol Framework, will probably never be a formal standard. But on the flip side, no formal standards body is going to crud it up with nonsense.

So, no, I'd say that bedlam will not follow from a lack of trustworthy cryptography standards. We've trusted standards too much as it is.
I recently bought a roti on store credit when a major internet outage hit my city. The owner said he was out 1500-worth-of-sales for the day, recognized my friend as a regular, and wrote our names down in a book. We went back the next day to pay up.

It was like visiting a retro store in the 90s.

> The other behaviours that they normalized and now all of us deal with are what they call ‘serial returns’ where you buy maybe one of everything and return what you don’t want.

My wife and I do this, although not with small retailers. Very few brick and mortar companies carry clothing in our sizes, so if we want something we have to order a few options to find the right one. It's worse for my wife because she, according to clothing manufacturers, shrinks a full size every couple of years, making it nearly impossible to predict what size to buy.

Seconded: Is insane that somebody "make safe program" but not USE a safe program for it.

You can justify it by difficult of bootstrapping or a lot of legacy code that is already vetted so you can reuse. But in 2022, your options are very good in this area.
I wish there were a similar story to read about at an even more "previous step" level, to learn about all the complications and issues that start arising as soon as you begin accepting credit cards for payment, and how to protect against those.

Is anyone aware of such a tutorial for people selling software, online services?

It would be nice to be able to accept payments without having to just take as a cost of doing business all the fraud, customer service headaches, etc. that come with it.
You could scale it by sharing it between businesses to help them identify the small minority of customers screwing everyone they deal with.

I'm sorry sir we can't take your order because our records show that you already ripped off 6 other merchants in the last 5 years and we aren't willing to deal with you.
After looking through these comments and thinking through my own career to date in Big 3 automotive followed by AV work, I think I have to agree -- the lift to get from your Meta/Robinhood experience to information useful to the people in the other 80+% of the software industry, much less hardware/embedded/non-software-software companies is going to be enormous. I wish that there was a good solution for people who want to be Chief Engineer somewhere else, but it's about networking in your industry/company and not about lurking in leetcode forums.
Might just be some part of prod conf that's slipped into a testing environment. Pretty easy to happen if your test environment can access the Internet.

Extropianism (talked about in the post I linked)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extropianism#Introduction
Go forth and advocate!

As someone who was a paid policy and budget advocate in DC on local DC issues for 20+ years, this is a sweet example of activism at its best. Citizens (in the sense of the citizenry, not in the sense of legal status) working together to make a change. Coupled, of course, with an outstanding and effective legislator who is masterful at working with the public and working her colleagues.

The several nonprofits with which I worked had some major wins over the years but it's community-driven efforts that make my heart sing. So please, take action for or against something!
Stackoverflow is the place where copy-pasteable answers are appreciated.
That's highly situational dependent. But from the studies I've seen the need for a second car and price of child care are the biggest factors. It's easy to forget how much cars can cost these days. Parking at home, Parking at work, car payments, registration, insurance, maintenance, time/travel for oil changes, etc.

The range I've seen is on the order of $30k-$60k.
Yep. This is what I was scrolling to see if someone had already posted.
it's very easy to prove that all encryption functions are 1 to 1. Otherwise, you couldn't decrypt the data.
I need another hint. The sources seem to depend on Allegro specifics, e.g. the :excl package (with the enlightening description "General extensions to Common Lisp").
I find it troubling that it essentially imitates human Facebook users.

The data we've given is being resurrected to talk back to us.

Doesn't feel right.
Hrm. I don’t think Python’s importlib.reload is used very broadly.

Are those being hot-reloaded, or merely re-executed from scratch with no compile time?

When I think hotreload I think “persist state but update code”. Persisting state safely when you change data layout is almost impossible. Even if the language is dynamic you’ll have stale objects that are missing the new members or didn’t go through the new initialization routine.

I use hot reloading in C++ every day in Unreal Engine. However that only supports changing functions. If you change data layout you have to close the editor, rebuild, and relaunch.
Proof! the entire field of cryptography can prove absolutely nothing other than that a single use of One time pad is secure. the rest is all hand waving, that boils down to no-one I know knows how to do this, and I cant do it myself, so I believe it's secure.

So the best we have in cryptography is trusting "human instincts/judgements" about various algorithms. Which then further reduces to trusting humans.
I believe the implication that NIST or NSA somehow bribed one of the PQC researchers to weaken a submission is risible.

I believe that NIST is obligated to be responsive to FOIA requests, even if the motivation behind those requests is risible.
How Did Elevators Lose Their Music?
Fair point, but, I don’t think there’s any established idea that AI algorithms have any natural rights. Nor do they come from nature.

Natural rights are partially rooted in some religious tangents that I don’t really wish to go down either, but I don’t know of any software other than TempleOS that is claimed to have come from god. For pretty much all AI algorithms, I think people agree they are man made.
I was asking why land and mining are so all-important that minimizing either (or both, is that even possible simultaneously) is the relevant objective function here.

Land use is a cost. Mining is a cost. We minimize overall cost, not one specific thing that has a cost.

I will add that society is clearly happy with using land for that very low payoff activity we call "farming". The $/acre from PV is much higher than that from farming, you know.

I don't get the impression you've thought very clearly about all this.
In JS for example, if you change the prototype of an object you have effectively changed it's data layout but of course everything is behind a pointer / an indirection.

When changing instance or class variables in Smalltalk, the system actually changing the object layout and goes and recompiles code using it. If you are interested in the details: Chapter 5 of [1] explains it a bit.

If you divide it by 20 before multiplying by 365, which is a charitable read to say the least, it would still be an insane amount of money.
While you’re right, that damages are an important factor, it’s worth noting that these don’t have to be strictly limited to direct monetary damages.

For example, Jones was defaulted on intentional infliction of emotional distress. The jury’s compensatory damages were heavily weighted to IIED. So the damages can be abstract in some sense.

But yes, generally defamation requires both material false statements of fact, and damages to a specific party.
"The judge in the case, Maya Guerra Gamble, said she would entertain a motion to impose additional punishment against Mr. Jones and his lawyer for their courtroom conduct throughout the trial. Mr. Jones had to be frequently reminded by the judge to tell the truth while under oath."

It seems silly to me how so many people immediately dismiss anyone even suggesting that something fishy was going on with those cases, when we already know about MKUltra, Tuskegee expirement, etc.
Clojure(script) has a pretty good story around this. But I hear tell that common lisp has even more powerful hot reloading magic.

But, in clojure if you idiomatically model your app state as plain-ol-data, and naked functions that modify it, then you are in dynamic editing heaven. You can make any change at runtime as long as your live data is still compatible with the functions that use it.. which ends up being most of the time unless you change the semantics of an attribute.

Might not be the best example, but this article goes over live-coding a flappy bird clone

> Musk was pretty well known prior to Tesla because he was one of the PayPal co-founders

Well known outside of tech? I don't think so.
There are very few public bodies that do a solid, to-the-letter job of complying with their open records requirements. Almost all FOIA failings are due to the fact that it isn't staffed adequately; FOIA officers, clerks, and records attorneys are all overworked. When you do a bunch of FOIA stuff, you get a feel for what's going on with the other side, and you build a lot of empathy (which is helpful in getting your data over the long run).

And then other times you run into bloody-mindedness, or worse.

I don't think NIST has many excuses here. It looks like they botched this straightforwardly.

It's a straightforward case. My bet is that they'll lose it. The documents will get delivered. That'll be the end of it.
Jones was afforded due process. Due process requires you to participate in the _process_, which he refused to do repeatedly, for years.

He can appeal, but the authority for a trial court to issue a default judgement is not new precedent but rather well established. It’s quite _rare_, but it’s happened before.
It could be the opposite, it is not as demanded because it is not as available. If it were, I thunk people might have preferred it more often.
> First, we don’t have the next language yet. It needs to be a minimal capability-based actor language

People tend to think programming languages that enforce design patterns and programming styles steer development towards clean design and safety. The problem is, in the industry no one actually uses them. Instead we get combative code that goes against these principles.

Java and C# are popular examples of this, they breed natively thought out procedural statements in static classes that are really just namespaces. Of course in the business logic world, when 50 different people touch an old class definition, it becomes a utility class / partial OOP hybrid. Usually this design choice is biased towards the initial one.
If he was 100% correct, it seems deeply unlikely that he would’ve dodged discovery the way he did.
First off congrats on the launch!

> We spent weeks talking to 100s of engineers and discovered that their career bottleneck was not coding ability, but all the other _stuff_ that is essential for software engineering.

At this point I've managed hundreds of software engineers and my assessment of the situation is in line with yours. So much so that I actually have a deck prepared for explaining this exact point to engineers.

What I've found is not that engineers need any one piece of advice. That would be different for different people (for the most part), it's that they need a framework to understand all the skills which are important to being an engineer and our industry has woefully underserved them when it comes to explaining things.
