I see three paths here:

1. Get a degree. Sign up for something like Western Governor's University or anything you can complete at quickly as possible. Burn the the curriculum by working your ass off to get that degree. This path makes sense if getting a degree is, as you state, the only thing from preventing you from working locally.

2. Get a USA job. Update your CV to make it look like you've been doing something over the past two years (which could be going to school). Set your LinkedIn location to an East Coast USA city (e.g. NYC or DC). Interview for remote only positions. Get hired. Don't tell them you're working from Europe. Have them ship work laptop to some place in the USA where you can fly to pick it up. Fly home. Set your laptop timezone to be timezone of local office so you don't have to explain why you're 7 hours ahead all the time. Say you like to work early & simply avoid companies that have a lot of later afternoon meetings. Budget for flying back to get a replacement laptop if you have to. Make sure you pay your taxes in Europe. You don't want to get busted. Hire a tax professional to help you navigate the European tax system.

3. Fight to establish yourself on sites like Upwork & TopTal. Kind of a race to the bottom, but obviously people do it.

I didn't suggest becoming a self employed consultant because if you were wired to do that, you'd have already done it. You can of course develop this skill, but it takes time & isn't for everyone.
Most of the problems with message queues are from the fact that you will eventually get messages that you can't process now but might be able to later.

Depending on your requirements you either stop the state of the whole system or use something like dead-lettering and/or delay-queues + retry count headers to make sure that you can reprocess failed messages without letting them accumulate until you're wasting CPU processing messages that will never work.

The other problems with message queues is that you need to make sure you have alerting on all your queues otherwise you're just waiting for trouble.
China orders factories to shut down amid fiercest heat wave in six decades
Possibly. The type of data they collect and what entities have access to it is what is crucial.

Least amount of user data or not, reports like these are alarming:
https://www.scss.tcd.ie/doug.leith/apple_google.pdf

It seems that even with maximum security settings, Apple will always know where I am, who is nearby, what mobile networks I use, and what computer networks I use.

Espionage and sabotage aside, that's the kind of information the US government has used to decide whether someone, or an entire location full of random people, should be the target of a drone strike.

I don't worry about being killed by a drone strike, but the fact that this data is collected from everyone everywhere is worrying, and in my opinion it means Apple and Google are complicit in killings like these.

Functional Connectivity of N Accumbens and Changes in Appetite in Depression
I live next to a few people who keep their $80,000 truck immaculate, and will never touch an unpaved field with it. The best trucks for driving in snow and mud are the trucks that actual farm hands drive, and are usually far less decked out, have mismatched paint schemes, and are covered in scratches and dirt. Completely their choice to make that purchase, obviously, but I’ve seen worse vehicle choices.

However when my wife walks past one and the hood is over her head, knowing that this is possible because it’s exempt from regulation as a ”farm vehicle” seems like a corruption of government regulation.

I don’t think we need to make people prove how they will be using a vehicle, so maybe we should just require different license classes based on vehicle’s current weight and/or height? Driving a 7,000 lb truck that is 6.5’ tall is not the same as driving a passenger car.
The Peiter Zatko Case: How We Broke Whistleblowing
I'd get something like that if I needed a car tbh, but luckily I can do everything with my bicycle. The new sandero starts at 10k, which is still quite a budget for a lot of people
At one point I had two manual and two automatic Citroën XMs, with identical 2.0 litre fuel-injected engines. On average driving, all four got 32mpg.

Bear in mind this was a relatively primitive late-80s Zf 4HP18 gearbox, with a lockup clutch in 3rd and 4th, giving similar ratios to 4th and 5th with the manual box. If anything the manual box let the engine rev a couple of hundred RPM higher in 5th, but the auto box would drop briefly out of lockup on moderate acceleration in top allowing the engine to reach a bit higher speed.
Many comments here that I agree with, but I'd add that thinking purely in terms of commercial vs non-commercial is very reductive.

Mozilla is a not-for-profit company, and that matters, but they do engage in advertising deals and things of the sort. Non-profits do have less incentives for unethical behavior, but they don't have zero incentives.

I don't think we can only recommend non-commercial companies, although giving points for being so is good.

(Biases disclaimer: I like Brave, I prefer Firefox by a tiny margin)
This is a really US-focused take, right?

Manuals are MUCH MUCH more common in other countries. I was just in the UK, and (because I'm curious) I peaked in cars in every lot we parked in. Manuals were the dominant mode there, in my unscientific sampling.
I agree; rescue breaths into a mouth of bloody vomit is something I avoided in emergency medicine too—with a laryngoscope and a BVM, but that’s because i brought an ambulance with me when i did CPR!

What is purient is the observed disparity between rate of CPR at all as a function of patient sex because tits are involved: ”A small survey found that people may worry that chest compressions by bystanders will seem improper or may hurt women.”

It was my understanding that rescue breaths lower overall compliance, and my comments expounding on it are largely separate from sex-linked concerns.
If a particular lady doesn't like you because you enjoy a Ghibli movie, there's a good chance you're not long term compatible.

> Any sucess will never be because of it but despite of it.

Success is what - pulling? ... Or finding a partner who likes you for who you are?

Anyway, liking the things you like, regardless of others opinion, is an attractive trait (as long as you're not harming people).

Similarly, being deceptive is very unattractive; and more importantly, deeply bad for you.
I take your point, as I thought it was a bit brusque myself. I attributed this to the author going for the alliteration, and perhaps also thinking of the final response to someone who is being unjustifiably and abusively demanding.
We sell fine food (bowtieduck.com ). Saw you are from Cebu we just opened deliveries there ;) and yes web hosting is weird and super expensive here.

Because you release open source software to help others, in the same way others have helped you with theirs. Where has all the empathy gone?
Concerning work hours.
I don’t think that’s quite accurate. I live in an area where even people with tiny houses have a boat, and they don’t bring it out just once or twice in a summer. And once you need that pickup truck instead of a Prius, the King cab and leather is just a luxury upgrade like anything else. I see plenty of contractors, etc., around here with big shiny pickup trucks.
As far as message queues go, I'd be hard pressed to choose anything but rabbitmq.

Easy to install, sane config out of the box, developer friendly definition, relatively flat learning curve with highly googleable answers, and widespread support for AMQP.

There may be something faster/leaner or with some bells and whistles, but if you just need message queuing it's hard to beat.
A car manufacturer which claimed you needed to replace the whole front end of the car to replace the battery would be ridiculed by everyone and soon be out of business. The fact that those batteries are glued down is not a valid reason to replace the whole top as is shown by the multitude of mobile devices with glued-down batteries which can be replaced without problems. They either have some strip you can pull to loosen the battery or a set of instructions on where to push a thin piece of plastic underneath the battery to lift it. Apple can do this as well but they don't want to
Might have to do with notarization. Notarized apps are checked against an Apple API every time they're launched if I'm correct.
"But you can go very far without them by using the DB or redis as your message queue."

So, you can go very far without a message queue... by using a simpler message queue?
I don’t get brave. Works great but Feels scammy.
What’s wrong with Safari privacy-wise?
Here in the Netherlands iDEAL is usually used. It was originally invented for e-commerce, but these days you can also send them as a private person ('Tikkie').

Btw, don't you have IBANs that you frequently send money to saved in your 'address book'? The banks here have offered such functionality since forever (even before IBAN existed)
Its clear Apple take privacy seriously, you only have to look at for example iOS privacy settings, all centralised in one place and granular.

Meanwhile, if they could, Facebook would embed a chip in you to collect every piece of biometric data about you, as well as recording and videoing the environment around you 24x7x365.

Google, well, we all know, Google will do whatever it takes to enable them to sell more ads on their platform. Nobody who takes their privacy seriously should have a Google account.

Apple's competitors have set the bar in the gutter, frankly.

Tails 5.4 – (Portable Debian O/S and Tor Browser) Released → (August 25, 2022)
According to the article, Tether is in direct and daily contact with US government institutions. So I guess, for whatever reason, the US gov is perfectly fine with Tether, probably because it's a great tool to spy on international transfers. This probably means Tether is here to stay.
I am interested in the semantic web and automated reasoning and inferences.

I think natural language processing is fascinating and GPT is impressive.

I want an innovation that can give everybody an income. If you could earn money by using your phone or using a computer directly by solving puzzles that map to complicated problems
Don’t forget that the Census Bureau counts every town of 2,500 in the middle of farm country as an “urban area.” I’m in an “urban area” and I can drive to horse farms in 5 minutes.
(I agree with almost all of your comment.)

I don’t agree that fossil fuel should be “taxed at a high enough level to make sure both nuclear and renewable investments have a chance of being profitable”, but do agree that it should be taxed significantly higher. (If the outcome of that is that renewables have a chance to compete, great. But if there was a renewable that needed a $50/gallon tax to be competitive, it doesn’t get my agreement to tax to that level.)
I'm probably missing your point, but I don't mean in the sense of them being a common type of footwear, I mean they were on runways, worn by celebrities, etc. https://www.whowhatwear.co.uk/crocs-shoes/slide4
A murderer who only murders one person instead of many is still a murderer. Given the recent reporting that Apple is aiming to build its own ad network[0] really puts it's privacy-first branding in perspective. This gave them plausible deniability to knock down Google a peg or two while planning to capture that territory for themselves.

Do they not have their story too?
I remember the forum threads when lead developers were invited to give talks to the CIA about Bitcoin in the early years. I don't think the CIA created Bitcoin. Judging by the Satoshi's GMX email address and software coding style of the early software, I believe it was a German who grew up in Germany. Absolutely NO-ONE outside of Germany uses GMX.
That's part of the malware and privacy protection system, checking the developer certificates and fingerprints of the application binaries. For most applications it only does this once on first launch then 'staples' the notarization to the binary so it doesn't have to do it again, and so that the system still works when offline. You can disable it.

I think it's more like owning a computer without being able to use a text editor or a spreadsheet program. You can open files you get from other people but you can't make changes or generate anything original. Programming in this analogy would be modifying your printer itself.

Obviously there have been some successful computers where users don't modify their files, like mp3 players, but those are much cheaper and more user friendly than general purpose computers.
I find rabbitmq easy-ish to use but I've been a bit surprised by the seeming lack of tools to support its use. For example, I have not been able to find an off the shelf solution for getting an overview visualization of the message flow. There are a few projects on github but they look like weekend experiments. Nothing that looks maintained.
It's from May 2000 (https://shibaura.pure.elsevier.com/en/publications/lisp-can-...)
Right, this could easily be cynically spun as "Apple has improved its user tracking and ad systems such that they require much less user data to achieve the same level of behavioral tracking".

Most people don't like the outcome, not how it occurs.
IE it's not just that FB is invasively tracking you, it's that they are using their knowledge of you in creepy ways.

If they didn't track you at all themselves, but still somehow got the same exact same kind of data, and still used their knowledge of you in creepy ways, i don't' think most people would feel too much better about that.
It was common post-immigration all the way until the civil rights movement.
Funny observation:

I have an Indian name but I am born and raised in Midwest America. Whenever a random call center would call me - I could easily detect whether this was originating from South Asia or not merely by their opening salutation and choice of invoking the "correct/traditional" pronunciation of my name. This data leakage alone, betrayed all of their further attempts at sounding like a "white American" with a fake flattened accent. The illusion was broken.
No idea, I didn't participate in writing the code. The idea sounds reasonable though.

Mining Train Powers Itself: The “Infinity Train” (and How It Works)
Thanks. Actually, if anything, the original source mentioned in that article strengthens my opinion. The term has nothing to do with 'fuzziness' as understood today. It was a fun, arbitrary term that was chosen for a student project on a whim rather than careful consideration. The 'fuzz' was referring to the 'fuzz generator', where 'fuzz' here seems to have been used as a synonym for 'crud', 'dirt', 'fluff', 'noise' etc, i.e as opposed to clean/useful/careful inputs. Nothing to do with the term 'fuzzy' as understood today (i.e. in terms of fuzzy logic or fuzzy set/measure theory).

Good to know though. I kept hearing this term and didn't know what it referred to. Thanks for the link!
The Perl Cookbook has most and is found online
Same here in Sweden. Automatics are almost a curiosity, some silly crutch used in strange countries where people don't know how to drive or something.

But in a sense manual transmission is still dying. EV's don't have a transmission in the same sense, and from a user's perspective they're similar to automatic transmission. Well, "dying" might be a bit premature, but declining anyways!
Are you talking about Lee Holloway, the third co-founder of Cloudflare?
>The mainboard reverts to fTPM if the hardware TPM is removed. It doesn’t have a way to disable the TPM.

Can anyone verify this? Sounds fucked up.
It starts with open-source mobile devices.
"Even for people in the car, some older car designs put the drivers legs under the engine block. In a head on collision at speed, the legs were the crumple zone (meanwhile the steering column was being pushed through your torso)."

Anytime anyone waxes nostalgic about how "they dont make cars like they used" I think about this video. They sure as hell don't make cars like they used too, you can get out and walk away from a crash in your ugly newer car that would brutally end your life in one of those beautiful classic cars.

For anyone that is curious the key thing to pay attention to in survivability here (besides yah know... the airbag) is.. does the interior cab of the car change shape? The cab of the old car violently changes shape in a way that would destroy parts of your body whereas the newer car's cab doesnt seem to be affected at all. Even if getting crushed between the seats and dashboard didnt kill you immediately in the bel air, I struggle to imagine how emergency first responders would even get you out of that.

Given the dialog here I'm not gonna go read the article, but I will say this:

I'm a relatively enthusiastic hobby photographer. Our vacation in 2018 was the first time I realized that my phone's camera (at the time, an iPhone 8) was "good enough" to participate meaningfully in vacation photography. By the time of our next vacation the following summer, I'd worked out a workflow to include phone pics into Lightroom with the images out of my "real" camera. There was still an appreciable gap in quality in some contexts, but in iPhone-friendly situations the shots were definitely competitive with the Olympus.

Since then I've upgraded both camera (to a full-frame Sony) and phone (to an 11 Pro). The gap still exists, but it's not NEARLY what it was, and in many contexts I'll CHOOSE to use the phone instead of the camera.

Given the potato-quality images out of the early camphones, and even the early iPhones, that's a very very amazing and cool progression.
"Fortescue Metal Group's Infinity train will never need to be fuelled, never need to be charged... it uses regenerative braking to charge onboard batteries when it goes downhill and uses that charge to get back up the hill. Does that sound like a perpetual motion machine to you?

The project doesn't actually rely on a secret source of "free energy" to work. Sorry if that disappoints you! It's all based on sound physics, which I explain in this video and then I run the calculations to see whether the numbers add up!"
We could give all 11 million kids in poverty $27,000 this year for the amount we just spent on a student loan bailout. Wouldn’t fix poverty, but this doesn’t fix student loans either.

The right way to bribe them is through campaign contributions or donating to their "charity" foundation. People without election campaigns or foundations are much harder to bribe.
If the customer is doing something illegal, it should be the job of law enforcement to judge on that and stop them, not a CDN company.
A couple are quasi-picaresque, nearly plotless. I'm thinking of Kiki's Delivery Service. It feels cozy and injects little in the way of tension, compared to most animated family movies (that I've seen). Seems like an underrated approach but probably hard to pull off. In contrast, Princess Mononoke (admittedly, not for kids) has more going on and doesn't lack drama.
Manual transmission will die, but not because of automatic transmissions. In a few short decades we will all be driving electric vehicles.
I’m know there are other more complex applications of a message queue, but I really appreciate the fact that Rails has simplified this very common functionality so much that it’s not a “message queue” but simply background job processing. From a conceptual standpoint it makes it much more approachable for new devs. They have thought through and provide sane retry and dead letter defaults and can use many different backend solutions. It makes having this functionality out of the box dead simple and a no brainer
Do you plan to extend the support to other frameworks too, like Angular? A UI fuzzer would be handy to have in the toolbelt. Really enjoyed the write up, it answered some of the questions I had when thinking about fuzzers, for example the branch count blow up and optimizations, would read more if you decide to follow up with more development notes.
Yes. This was the era when Japan's mobile market was several years ahead of Europe and USA. Camera phones were first available there.

Another example is Docomo i-Mode which was a popular mobile Internet service already in 1999:

As a curiosity, the emoji character set now found in Unicode was created by Docomo for i-Mode.
(a) Nobody is forcing you to turn on the "Find My" or "Share My" features
(b) If you use a mobile phone network, then frankly its game over. You can't bash Apple for that. If you use a mobile network, then your mobile network can track you, the government can track you, and any man and his dog with an IMSI tracker in a box can track you. Doesn't matter if you use an iPhone or $insert_name_of_whatever_phone_you_think_is_more_secure.
I'm glad to see this attitude expressed in the current sea of "reluctant maintainers". I don't really get why so many people get stuck maintaining a project when they don't want to maintain it. Just step away? If someone else wants to take it, they'll take it. If no one wants to take it, it'll just peacefully die, and that's fine.

Or if you want to run a project with no issue tracker, that's also fine. That's how most of the closed source Windows freeware programs were ran in the late 90s/early 2000s. Once it stops working for most people's use cases, people will just switch to something else. Granted, this model lends itself more to full products and not libraries or frameworks.

But if you want to become the "Hot New Framework", one of the ones that all the devs talk about, one that will be picked by teams across the world, with all of the clout, prestige, speaker invitations to conferences and whatnot that will get you, I'm sorry, you need to hold your end of the bargain. The mindshare doesn't come for free, if you get upset and take your ball home every time someone points out a bug in your code or requests a feature, the other kids will just stop playing with your (formerly) fancy ball. And as you found out, if people don't come with the right feedback and said feedback isn't taken seriously, your project's popularity will dwindle and perhaps even die altogether if the flaws or missing features are serious enough.

You'd think this much would be obvious, but the "Don't Talk to an OSS Maintainer Ever" doctrine keeps getting more and more popular and it's really bewildering. Being an OSS maintainer for a project out in the open means that your (volunteer) job is literally talking to people. Firemen may be volunteers in many regions, but if a random fireman randomly stopped putting out fires because "I don't owe you anything!", they'd be rightfully kicked out. Just because you're not getting paid, it doesn't mean you have no moral duty to anything in life.

RMS would famously shout "YOU are the GNU Hurd maintainer!" at people who asked him what GNU's plan for Hurd was. That obviously turned out great. It's a good attitude to have if you don't want anything to happen and just want to claim the moral high ground, it's not great if you want your project to be successful and it pains me that we're teaching people that it's ok to be unprofessional at volunteer jobs because you're volunteering.
