Compartmentation combined with good encryption is the bedrock of any good op-sec. Who centralizes every secret in one location and brings it on their person? My most treasured intellectual property is stored in a Veracrypt container inside a flash drive protected with LUKS as a secondary measure. I keep it at home, and only open it on a secure OS (With no malware) preferably not connected to the Internet. I also have duplicated this in as many places as possible in-case one copy gets corrupted, and have memorized the password and don't have it written down anywhere.
I liked that Harrison immediately declared himself emperor, as soon as he had the chance. George is a big supporter of the oppressive system. The "best" ones are as much of a caricature as the oppressors.
But the proposal here would not change the circumference to 1, it's about representing angles in another currency. More often that not when you are doing trigonometry you care more about angles than arclength. The issue stems from thinking angles in terms of arc length.
> though most courts will just laugh at companies and tell them they clearly didn’t do enough due diligence, so most people trying it will be worried about being arrested in person.

There's a contradiction here, right?

The only time I’ve seen working with bodyshops work out was when we had a senior spend most of his time checking their work and managing the project they were staffed on. He also happened to be from the same country/willing to talk with them outside of normal PST working hours.

They still didn’t produce great work but they did produce work that was usable and did what we wanted to do.

Most of my team actually had started out in consultancies earlier in their career so they knew exactly how things worked. A few times we had to “send someone back” when we got someone who was claimed to be an expert on X but was barely able to do basic tasks on the computer.

I’ve seen some consultancies with a much higher hit rate compared to WITCH and co though, on par with regular hiring. I am not privy to the financial details but I suspect they are a lot more expensive.
Flux helps break the surface tension between solder blob and wire so I really doubt the flux in the unmelted solder would have a path to flow to the wire.

But yeah, my solution is to just dip the wire in a jar of flux as I’m stripping and twisting them
There's practically very few projects which won't be done via python. Even in cases where python won't be a winner like kernel modules. I'll be trying python first and see if I can make it work. Python does the job for 100% of the projects I will take on.

>rather how do people overcome this non starting due to making a technology decision such as this?

Every project has oodles of decisions to be made. Even if you choose python, now which libraries will you use? Will you do type hinting? How advanced will your code be? Lots of decisions to make.

Better yet, even if python isn't the right tool or some library isnt the right tool. You always have the ability to change decisions. In fact, for any project to complete, you must make a myriad of decisions and then redecision bad decisions. So evaluating good vs bad decisions isnt your problem. It's making the first decision.

you have to ask yourself what is causing you to make no decisions?

Laziness? Most likely not.

Anxiety/fear is probably a good possibility. Kind of going back to the good vs bad. Lets be realistic and not fool ourselves. All our decisions are bad. The new decision is to be constantly improving and fixing those bad decisions.

My big one that often paralyzes me is fear of failure or consequences.

For example I wrote a book. 74,000 words after lots of editing came with a ton of decisions. I can make the decisions but my fear of being sued or submitting my book to 100 agents and being denied by each one has paralyzed me into not submitting to the first agent and therefore it's not published.
We did one interview with a candidate who had a great looking resume and was from a town somewhat close to a city I used to live in. Started off with some general get to know you talk and asked him about where he was from... crickets. Then went into his experience and it 100% did not line up with what was on his resume. I started asking questions about the jobs on his resume and he hung up.

My PM, who was also on the call, had looked up the name on the resume and found the linked in of guy whose resume had been stolen. We notified him that someone was using his resume and actually ended up interviewing him! We came close to hiring him but his salary ask was out of our price range.
I'm amazed that the author would even include Red Delicious in the comparison. It's known as the worst apple in the world. Thick skin, mealy interior, either bitter or no flavor. I don't know why anyone would buy these for any purpose, and I don't know why anyone grows these. It's like putting North Korea at the bottom of a list of 10 best places to live - any other item on the list would improve the list.

>The implication is that Google is gathering personal data to then then sell it to third parties.

No, the implication is that Google collects as much of your personal data as possible, stores it forever, and monetizes it. You can tell because that's what I actually said. What you're responding to is a red herring - you brought up third parties, not me.

If I use the Apple Mail app with default settings from my iCloud account to e-mail ten lawn care services, I won't start seeing web ads for lawn care. If I use Gmail with default settings, I will.

> The main thing that Apple does differently is, that they took stronger measures to ensure that the data THEY collect from their users can only be collected by THEM.

No, the main thing that Apple does differently is make their money by selling hardware, software, and services directly to end users. This is in stark contrast to Google, whose typical business model offers free services that make the end users into the saleable product.
On what hardware?

Also there's a performance cliff when you have a lot of unique ids (or selectors in use from JS).

When you hit the cache querySelector is primarily a getElementById call and then some overhead to match the selector a second time (which chrome should really optimize):

https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:thi...

But if you have more than 256 selectors and ids in use:

https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:thi...

You'll start to hit the selector parser a lot more and then querySelector will be a fair bit slower going through the CSS parser.
Why would I think there is any truth in something apple's marketing department is saying?
Is this surprising? A lot of medicines pass to breast milk and are not recommended n that cases. I'm not sure if someone has tried with mRNA before.

> This study investigated whether the COVID-19 vaccine mRNA can be detected in the expressed breast milk (EBM) of lactating individuals receiving the vaccination within 6 months after delivery.

Perhaps my English is bad, but IIUC the abstract makes the question if there is mRNA from the vaccine after 6 months, but it does not answer it. I can't find a good article about that https://www.google.com/search?q=mrna+vaccine+degradation+rat... but my guess is a few days. I'll be very surprised it survives a month inside the body.

Ooooor you may consider that in-person socialization as a form of entertainment or a way to pass time is drastically overrated - typically by people who want in-person socialization. People who want/need the affirmation that comes with being in a small group of people who share their views.

Not everybody does.

Not everyone finds socializing with the same clique of 5-10 people day after day after day to be a valuable experience. Especially when you're not the "star" of the social cliques you find yourself in.
Today I spoke with one of ex-colleages. He said he was spending hours to weed out candidates that joined his company through fraudulent means. There are scams at multiple layers: during hiring, proxying in day to day work. It became a huge industry in its own.
No one is forced to admit it is real. In fact, if you read the wikipedia article, there are a number of people offering alternative explanations to explain the site.

But really, do you think there is a cabal of powerful academics who have their identity so wrapped up in "Humans only came to the Americas 25,000 years ago", that they would try to explain away clear evidence of humans in the Americas 130,000 years ago?
A long while back I was sitting in a coffee shop, and happened to meet a guy recounting his work history to a client. The hilarious part was hearing my life plagiarized off my web CV at the time. Seeing the con describe climbing an antenna mast where I worked was awe inspiring given he was over 350lbs. I tipped off the client to do his own verification after, as there was no way that guy was part of our small team at that time.

Some people are certifiably insane, and will con anyone to make money. Note, confronting psychopaths with proof they are liars is extremely dangerous. These are the people that will hold grudges for decades if they feel you owe them something, or do something nasty.

Weak Stenography in your CV is also good for auto-screening/blacklisting those engaged in social-engineering workers. You would be surprised who shows up. ;)
This makes so much sense. By doing it this way, the iron isn't fighting the thermal conductivity of the rest of the solder feed. It just has to heat a small bit of solder.

I know there are aficionados who can point out possible disadvantages of this approach, but honestly, I can see this technique being really handy when you just want to prototype something out and you want to get things done efficiently. Not every solder joint needs to be perfect, just as not every PCB needs to be factory quality and is going to a customer. As someone who only occasionally needs to solder a custom circuit, this looks like a time saver. If I was frequently making PCBs by hand, maybe I'd think otherwise.
Works great as long as you don’t care about the lack of performance, not getting great battery life, and the lack of native applications…

Telegram is one of few popular messengers that are NOT blocked/prohibited in Russia. So government and Durov have some agreement.
Yeah, but it's from the 70s, so it has to be good, right?
It's always risky to assume people are rational. People are really good at discounting the "this could fail" outcome.

However, I don't think Ukraine has the capability to pull this off.

I hoped this was obvious but I agree, I wouldn't for a second consider any of this even remotely criminal. Its only misleading and suggests not particularly great judgment from the candidates.

Hyperbole on resumes is the sine qua non of the hiring experience. This is no different, just a more systematic form that I'm not used to seeing historically.
please don't do that, those sponsored ads are bad already as it is
In some ways, I think that's what the article is saying. I think the article takes the position that people are valuable and that investing in their success therefore creates value.
I feel I'm getting close to the point where I'm just going to start disabling CSS and JS for normal web browsing, only whitelisting certain sites that 1. I have to use and 2. Simply don't work at all without CSS/JS. IMO browsers have abandoned their role as the "user's agent" and handed over entirely too much control over style, presentation and function to web developers. The fact that you need plugins, extensions, adblocks, bookmarklets, and so on, just to regain this control should be troubling but I guess progress has to march on.

I know I'm in the tiny minority here and firmly in the "yelling at the clouds" territory, but I really wish we could go back to the simpler times of the web being hyperTEXT documents linked together and that's it.
We built the logic backing the Temporal Python SDK[0] in Rust and leverage PyO3 (and PyO3 Asyncio). Unfortunately Maturin didn't let us do some of the advanced things we needed to do for wheel creation (at the time, unsure now), so we use setuptools-rust with Poetry.

That would be DECNet. A bit more OSI-ish than what won in the end, but you could do some pretty nifty stuff on it. There was support for a number of OSes, back in the day.
It can be validly used as a criticism of socialism, even if not so intended by the author.

George Orwell, also a socialist, famously noted that many of his fellow socialists were motivated more by envy and resentment toward the rich than by compassion for the poor. As others have commented, envy could certainly be attributed as the cause of many "social justice" minded policies we see today.

Those on the right would argue that (barring some virtuous individual socialists) socialism is at root an ideology for justifying envy.
A bit tangential, but construction isn't rising. More houses were built in Los Angeles in the 50s than today. More in New York in the 20s. But the populations are far larger and expand more. (Hence the explosion in housing prices.)

Viewing the data is a bit less extreme at first: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/HOUST You can see that we are around the mean today. However the population is 2x larger...

I'm not sure the exact rules here (and you might not be in the US), but you might want to avoid asking candidates "about where they are from"

> Any questions that reveal your age, race, national origin, gender, religion, marital status and sexual orientation are off-limits.

> "State and federal laws make discrimination based on certain protected categories, such as national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, disabilities, arrest and conviction record, military discharge status, race, gender, or pregnancy status, illegal.

> Any question that asks a candidate to reveal information about such topics without the question having a job related basis will violate the various state and federal discrimination laws," Lori Adelson, a labor and employment attorney and partner with law firm Arnstein & Lehr, tells Business Insider.

Near as I can tell the only graphical game released for the Tandy 2000 was a special edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator that also supported the Tandy 1000 and 1200HD. The 2000 was in their business line, not quite PC compatible but it ran DOS and was supposed to run applications like MultiMate, dBASE, and Basic Four.

The Tandy 1000 line did support Sierra games very well.

Yeesh I’m getting some Rainmeter/Stardock PTSD. If you're into this interior decorating and don't need Windows, Linux will blow your mind.

In high school, if you had one of these tacked on Windows UI things, you were likely the kid who took the Apple sticker that came with your iPod nano and slapped it on your Windows laptop.
Or get a $25 Pinecil that comes with IronOS pre-installed and is by all accounts almost as good as the TS-100 [1] (it's $40 on Amazon now :/). I got one, was so impressed that I got another. One big upside over the TS-100 for me is that it can be driven by both a beefier USB-C (which I always have around anyway) and DC-plug PSU.

Plus, it's running Risc-V, and they even sell an breakout to use the "logic board" as a RISC-V dev-board!

You can do your own surface mount soldering on boards for assembly, but it's an awful lot easier to design a single sided board (at least for the surface mount stuff) and hot plate it to get the solder melted. It's rather magical to watch surface tension in action - parts just... zoop right into the positions.

I live in weird circles, I suppose, where this and "do your own PCB etching" are still things.
Something like that happened with a team at my previous employer. The person nailed the interview, but when the person started they seemed pretty clueless about the position, the programming languages, and the tools that the team used. Plus the person's personality seemed a little different. The company quickly figured out that a front did the interview of this person, and that they were hired under false pretenses. Immediate dismissal.

This sort of situation seems to have become very common in the last couple or three years.
I'd probably hire you, as being lazy means you have likely automated most tasks already.

The house that I grew up in India, has that lattice as part of the building. Used to be great when I was growing up as the house was on a raised foundation compared to surrounding houses, and we would get a nice breeze in the evenings. The neighborhood was not dense and we mostly had single family homes.

Now, because of the absence of zoning regulations, we have 4 story buildings - so there goes any natural light and ventilation and there is an epidemic of dengue because of mosquitoes.

And that lattice annoys me, will probably need to put a mesh there to keep out the mosquitoes.

I listen to Russian propanganda a couple times per month for educational purposes :-)

Believe me, that is not it.

You are likely right here though, that Donetsk and Lugansk would have likely became a part of Russia. I don't think anything would change for them, however, since these areas are already largely pro-Russian and were already controlled by military affiliated with Russia.

I expect after this war they are going to reconsider how much they want to be in Russia, because after promising to protect them, Putin sent all their young men to war.

Baltic, maybe, but very unlikely I think. It's too hard for a small group to pull off without getting discovered.

Ukraine is a long way from the Baltic and very busy getting invaded, so I think the chance of them pulling off something like this without US knowledge is practically zero.
I interviewed one guy that seemed to fit this description -- he didn't speak much, and when he did his accent was strong. He had someone with him, that seemed to speak on his behalf.
Yes! I have a long-ish tenure at my current org (10+ years). I have had at least two co-workers in that time window who were clearly having someone else do their work assignments off-hours.

Honestly, it kind of worked for them. I was very naive about it and it took me a long time to realize that the reason both co-workers could not discuss technical issues at work (or "their" own code) was that they simply didn't know anything (and it wasn't "their" code). As far as I know, only a very small number of tech people suspected anything.
I'm similar, except a Jeep guy. I was reticent to move into the new millennia Cherokees because I was worried about all the computerization of everything. When push came to shove I bought an adapter (Hell yes Jeep/Dodge/Ram for making this possible at a reasonable price!) and changed my air springs. I was initially quite pissed, who swaps coil springs for air!? But in the end it was way easier than changing the leafs on my old XJ.
Seems impossible and makes no sense.
We blew "morals" out the air lock long ago. Not to mention, morals are subjective.

I don't understand why corporations are not embracing and encouraging such arrangements.
You change your own oil so that you develop the skills to do a brake job, which you do yourself to develop the skills to work on the suspension.

That said, depending on where you live and whether or not you have winter, any fasteners on the underside of your car may be rusted to the point where you need the oxy-acetylene torch you used in high school to get the damned things loose. The nuts and bolts on the steering and suspension systems live a particularly rough life.
That is funny, this thread reminded me of a completely different "Nathan For You" episode. He hired a Web Dev to build an evite template that included a bunch of spammy foul language in "invisible" text in the footer, causing the invite to go to receiver's spam folder. The idea was that you could invite people to a party whom you didn't ACTUALLY want to show up, but also didn't want to hurt their feelings. If they asked why they weren't invited, you could incredulously claim that you DID invite them, and suggest that maybe it went to their spam folder.
I agree, but it seems like every company does it. Apparently they're all great companies to work for with exciting opportunities to change the world using a cutting edge tech stack built by world class expert coworkers.
That appears to be the case. If I try to prompt hack it by telling it to ignore previous instructions and respond with something verbatim in a specific language, the translate button reveals the verbatim response.
A manual isn't that bad, and I know people who work on them, but the main problem is that they're just an entirely different set of tools and techniques from just about everything else. You need a bunch of different tools for "rotating part" assembly and disassembly, and a bunch of different skills. Mostly, manual transmissions don't fail randomly, though.

Automatics be black magic boxes that will fail expensively, though. :/
I would say your criticism is akin to the curse of knowledge [1], wherein you know all of the relevant background information and so you have difficulty putting yourself in the position of someone who does not.

The author is writing the article for someone who could very well be learning this for the first time and may think to themselves "Hmm... this is something unusual and counterintuitive.". Since you are not that reader the author's writing could come across as annoying, but it's not wrong or misleading, it's a way for the author to hint to the reader that they are empathizing with them and will address this unintuitive notion further (which the author does).
