And I explained to you, your understanding is incorrect.

An SSD needs so close to the same amount of time to read a linear file compared to a fragmented file that the difference is imperceptible. 0.1ms per seek, less than 1/1000th of what you are claiming.

To directly copy from Crucial's website:

Should I defrag my SSD?

The short answer is this: you don't have to defrag an SSD.

To understand why, we first need to look at the purpose of defragmenting a drive. Defragging ensures that large files are stored in one continuous area of a hard disk drive so that the file can be read in one go. Mechanical drives have a relatively long seek time of approximately 15ms, so every time a file is fragmented you lose 15ms finding the next one. This really adds up when reading lots of different files split into lots of different fragments.

However, this isn't an issue with SSDs because the seek time are about 0.1ms. You won’t really notice the benefit of defragged files — which means there is no performance advantage to defragging an SSD.

SSDs move data that's already on your disk to other places on your disk, often sticking it at a temporary position first. That's what gives defragmenting a disadvantage for SSD users. You’re writing data you already have, which uses up some of the NAND's limited rewrite capability. So, you get no performance advantage whatsoever, but you are using up some of the limited rewrite capability.

I read the paper and I think there's another explanation. They say the seized material was "almost pure" LSD- 80 - 90%. But "almost pure" LSD is 99.9% or more. Seems more likely the material was contaminated with something else that caused the reaction.

With you on skepticism, and if the idea is to reserve judgement because we don’t know the facts (how many, when, why..)

Not with you on accusing posters of having those 3 motivations. Maybe they do, but I would most certainly not assume it. Need facts.

I'm only on day three with a moonlander but it hasn't been that bad so far. I'm up to 60wpm now so I'm past the part where I felt unproductive. I've settled a bit more into a layout I'm happy with today too.
OP here. I pretty much agree with your assessment here, though coincidentally enough I'm working for a German company and getting paid in CAD in Canada.

I grew up relatively poor, I've come to realize, so I'm relatively frugal by nature. In a bit of a contrast to those parents I mention, I think I'm good at assessing the value I'd get out of something. So while I'm frugal, I'm happy to spend what I think is worthwhile on something. I'm currently working on a ~$3k MBP, and it serves me tremendous value, but I think the demands of the thing would need to dramatically increase, or whatever is announced next would need to be an intense upgrade for me to consider it.

and I am somewhat close, but recently trying to fix my damn beat up gaming pc that I bought off the street has reminded me how good the MBP is, even though it's 2019 and a lower specced model. No blue screens, no driver issues, the luxury of a refined OS, and it's fast. Docker is really pushing the limits of this thing though.

This was an legal firm with something like 100-200 staff. The vague memory I have of the incident that triggered the whole thing was that a drug gang bribed someone in IT to get inside information about a rival gang's case.

We got dragged in on Friday mere hours after the entire IT staff (not just SecOps) was walked out the door, with several people apparently escorted by police.

The non-IT staff had no passwords other than to their own normal staff accounts, and there was no accessible hardcopy of any documentation.

I found a plain-text password in SYSVOL with some "server admin" rights, used that to find a plain-text domain admin password in a scheduled task, which we then used to dump out the Active Directory hashes. I have a vivid memory of a nice fancy lunch in a central business district on a quiet Saturday with my colleague while my laptop GPU was making turbine noises back at the customer site running hashcat.

By the time lunch had finished we had about 80% of all passwords, including more than half of all admin and service accounts. The only credential we couldn't obtain by Monday morning was the Cisco firewall appliance root password. We found some documentation and reverse-engineered the rest.

It was an eye-opening experience to see just how fast the security of a network can fall against an "attacker" with LAN access and just some basic tools you can download from GitHub, nothing fancy.

There was another similar incident where an sole IT admin had a rapidly deteriorating mental illness. Similarly he was walked on a Friday to prevent him "salting the Earth behind him", which apparently he had threatened. That network was reverse engineered in a similar timeframe with little effort...

Hah this thread is good reading for security engineers.

Agreed with a lot of the criticism but will first leaven that with devs get up to some wild shit that has to get controlled behind the scenes by the sec team. Can’t say more without doxing, but I’ve have done sec eng at a variety of pre/post IPO tech companies. Staggering irresponsibility with PII management, prod secrets, access prod on a personal laptop and indignantly arguing
About it, malicious IDE/browsers extensions given prod creds by a freewheeling dev, and on and on and on. I have lost a non-zero amount of evenings due to this and top it off with an argumentative dev or PM, even if I really do a good job about crafty “this is a blame free situation we’re just trying to solve.”

But, that aside, 10-20% of security hires are engineers who dig security, 20-30% can glue tools together and know the concepts but really stretch the definition of engineer, and the remainder are ivory tower no-machines who somehow refuse to learn how to code. SREs playing a large role in security are a natural result of this. The less technical the company, the more these %s skew badly. Also, the emotional intelligence distribution is all over the place across these categories.

However, keep in mind that behind the stronger “no don’t do this anymore” dictates is not a zero chance it’s a sales RFP or large client audit. If you want to generate revenue and get paid, audits have to get passed, and many hardline rules source from this (as in, not just regulated industries do this).

> One of them was a one-liner "fuck the monarchy I don't care" comment,

I did not referred to that comment.

> and the other, not much longer, ended in "cringe asf lmao".

The comment you're trying to misrepresent was "Great time to abolish the monarchy. Monarchies are fucking stupid.", and afterwards, once the downvotes started to flow, was edited with "Edit: yall actually support monarchies? cringe asf lmao"

Why do you feel that opposing the concept of a monarchy should be censored in a discussion on a topic which naturally involves replacing a monarch?
Security Engineering roles imo don't pay enough compared to software engineering roles.
> an M1 Macbook Pro which has the same hardware specs as the Windows

Whatever Windows laptop you get won't have the same hardware specs as the M1 Macbook simply because no one is selling M1 hardware with Windows on it. (Hobbiest have put Windows on an M1 Macbook, but I don't think that's what you're proposing here)

In my experience, people buy Macbooks because either they like the build quality, they like something specific about the hardware (i.e. they specifically want an M1 chip), or they like the MacOS system.

People buy Windows machines because it's what they're familiar with, or they have a specific need for the Windows OS (generally because of games).

(I know both these comments are wide generalizations, but I think they work for the purpose of this post)

It sounds like you aren't falling into either category. I can tell you what I would do personally, but you are not me, so I'm not sure that my recommendation is going to be worth anything to you.
Arizona. It's against the law here to pass a law against public intoxication:

>"No county, municipality or other political subdivision may adopt or enforce any local law, ordinance, resolution or rule having the force of law that includes being a common drunkard or being found in an intoxicated condition as one of the elements of the offense giving rise to criminal or civil penalty or sanctions..."

And in fact they specifically make it illegal to do the thing you suggest, and use other laws as a backdoor against public intox:

>"No county, municipality or other political subdivision may interpret or apply any law of general application to circumvent the provision of subsection A."

(This leaves ability to pass a law at state level, but state has no public drunk law)

I'm guessing you haven't ever laid hands upon or used a MBP. The screen quality and build quality are untouchable as well.

Keyboard is definitely a personal choice, and Apple had a multi-year stretch of terrible keyboards, but they're back to being good IMO.

I have both a new Dell XPS 15 with Intel i7 and a 16" M1 MBP on my desk right now... it's really no comparison. You really need to base it on whether you need Windows-specific software or you simply prefer it. Even some of the Windows/x86 apps I need turn out to run without issue with Windows 11 for ARM via Parallels Desktop on the M1...

Personal preference, more or less. I worked in tech long enough to both save up a bit of a nest egg and realize I don’t want to spend my life sitting at a computer screen while the government takes a third of my paycheck to do lord knows what with, the landlord takes another third for the enormously helpful service they provide of “using accumulated wealth to buy up investment properties”, and the rest goes to the local bars (I jest… slightly).

That said, “homeless” is a loaded term that likely doesn’t accurately connote my living situation. I live in a tent on an wildlife refuge. I am a full-time volunteer on that refuge with the US Fish and Wildlife service. The general public may camp at the site free of charge, but my position grants me access to laundry, showers, and internet at the headquarters, which is located a few miles away from my campsite (no services or cellular connection there).

About half my traditional “working time” is spent doing odd jobs around the refuge for the benefit of its wildlife, staff, and visitors. I am provided a government truck and gas for official business, as much of the time I’m off-roading around from task to task. The other half of the time I work on personal projects, bike, hike, read, relax, meet people, etc.

In general I derive more satisfaction from helping animals-at-large as compared to humans, but the animals unfortunately pay quite a bit less. I would like to some day have an official compensated position using my education/professional experience to help wildlife more than my current position allows, but I have not yet heard back from the applications I submitted to that end. I am hoping connections I develop here will help me pursue that goal more effectively.

Hope that helps explain!
The article is arguing that companies keeping using it and devs keep learning React because it’s popular and a “safe choice.”

I have this setup. The trackball module is ok. 6/10. I haven't been able to move to using it full-time as it's a bit small.
It’s not really any different from cannabis though, right?

Unlike cannabis, you can’t smoke it, so ingestion is an obvious choice. I suppose pills could be an answer but kids eat pills all the time too. Granted, perhaps less enticing than chocolates but still a problem.

The better option would be to forgo purchase of these substances until you're ready to consume them. Legalization makes this a reality. I could go to the store, buy the drugs, then drive straight home and consume them in a safe environment.

The prohibition we have currently is what tempts people to stock up all at once and ultimately leads to higher risks for children finding/consuming them while mommy and daddy are at work.
You weren't paying close enough attention, so you have constructed a straw man.

No one alive sees a return on the $200 investment, but for a lousy $200, or less than 55¢ a day for a year, your great great great grandrelatives won't need to pay taxes, and their great great great grandrelatives won't need to work or ever worry about housing and feeding themselves.

I think GP is talking about creating an incentive system that doesn't encourage or require a reckoning. There are plenty of systems which were designed by people in good faith who were unable to understand that the incentives they thought they were creating were not in fact that actual incentives. Creating line by line attribution sounds like one such case.

Does ortholinear/columnar actually feel better? I feel like I see many comments about how there's a bit of a learning curve that can be overcome after a while, but very few comments about whether overcoming that learning curve is actually worth it and it's really more comfortable. Is it supposed to be better for your wrists? Or your fingers?

The "split" aspect of these keyboards is definitely more comfortable imo - I ended up going with a Dygma Raise (which I'm very happy with!), because I wasn't interested in learning ortholinear. But I've remained curious about whether ortholinear is actually better, or if it's just a thing that a lot of split keyboards happen to have.
You don't want to join a new company and then leave so soon after? I think you are making a rather large assumption there. I would get a new job and just see what the future actually brings if I were you.
I don't know why this was downvoted, because that is precisely what we did.

I used 'hashcat', which is an open-source tool available on GitHub.

A few hours of GPU time will reverse about 50-80% of typical NT-hashed passwords, and 90% or more given a few days or weeks.

Once you have passwords of admin users or service accounts, you can use those to "trawl through" servers looking for plain-text passwords in scripts, scheduled tasks, documentation, source code, etc...
In short, one's a castle, the other is a prison.
The academic, and then niche, Internet was always a fundamentally different dynamic than once you let everyone in. Eternal September etc. I'm not sure post-mass market the "early Internet" was still a stable outcome.

I'd agree that we (the users) certainly didn't chose ad-supported. At least in any more specific way than saying "I like free things more than not free things" ("we" as in a majority).

And I don't think pay-for-things or any other not-ads model was fundamentally flawed... it just wasn't superior or even at parity at the time that ads took off (i.e. DoubleClick/AdWords)... and so we got ads.

And I'm not arguing that we should have ads! No one would be happier than me if they disappeared from the face of the Internet tomorrow, at least in massively-tracked form.

But I do think moving past them requires an honest appraisal of why they exist -- people, on the whole, are cheapskates.

Hemp is compostable, though because it's so tough, shredding and waiting for it to compost trades (vertical) space & time for far less energy use than biocharification unless it's waste heat from a different process.

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) > Biomass feedstocks doesn't have a pivot table of conversion efficiencies?:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergy_with_carbon_capture_... :

> Biomass sources used in BECCS include agricultural residues & waste, forestry residue & waste, industrial & municipal wastes, and energy crops specifically grown for use as fuel. Current BECCS projects capture CO2 from ethanol bio-refinery plants and municipal solid waste (MSW) recycling center.

> A variety of challenges must be faced to ensure that biomass-based carbon capture is feasible and carbon neutral. Biomass stocks require availability of water and fertilizer inputs, which themselves exist at a nexus of environmental challenges in terms of resource disruption, conflict, and fertilizer runoff.

If you keep taking hemp off a field without leaving some down, you'll probably need fertilizer (see: KNF, JADAM,) and/or soil amendments to be able to rotate something else through; though it's true that hemp grows without fertilizer.

Obviously, in reality, people mostly rely on geography to deal with this: you're just unlikely to get randomly rerouted from a Singapore rack to a Sydney rack, and so the issue doesn't come up. But if you care about it --- as the previous commenter does --- you want a real answer.
