I searched for coaches in my area, did a handful of interviews, then went with the one I related best with. The only unique insight I can offer here is to take any recommendations with a heavy grain of salt. Counseling/coaching is highly individualized, and what works for one person could do absolutely nothing for you. For the reason, there's no harm in ending a relationship that isn't working for you.
Why just now? Why not a decade ago when all the issues with random lockouts or suspension of funds? Something is better than nothing but it's crazy that people think it's an issue just now.
> the right clothing will be cheap and easy to find

Tell me you’ve never lived in a place with actual winter without telling me. The clothes aimed at locals are designed to be a 5 to 10 year investment. Not a jacket you buy to throw away in spring.

That said, you are right that unless you’re in a place like that, the correct gear isn’t even available for you to buy.
The key part about surviving corporate life is learning to cover your ass smartly by documenting stuff.

If you have any suggestions or advice on good resources to learn this system, please let me know anytime."

I'm hoping that you're right as I'd like to eventually improve what I did during my PhD. The good news is that back then I asked someone to run my scripts on their computer as a check, and the main script apparently worked. So that indicates that my dependencies were fairly standard.

How is it sexism if it's true? Or should people not bring this up because she's a woman?

I think the problem is Equifax's record of handling (non-consenting) user's data, and that causes resentment - not that the CISO was a woman.
Probably because less harm is done if you have lower speed for browsing than when a plane crashes or the air traffic is decimated. But I am just guessing.

Also with flatpak; you are using the old version until you close it. Then it will be garbage collected. On the next launch, you will be running a new version from different root.

Vi is just an editor, but vim is "Vi improved", and the improvements include the sorts of programmability that Emacs is known for, which allow modes to include syntax highlighting, code completion, and so on. It's not quite the same (the beauty of Emacs is that the executable is mostly a Lisp interpreter and the editor is written in the same Lisp you can write your extensions in), but close.

The Phoenix browser was the best I've ever used. From v0.1 to v0.5 it continually shrank in size, as improvements were just on speed, size, and the user experience. At v0.5 it was six-and-a-half megabytes. But by 0.6 it was getting bigger again. It already had enough of an HTML engine to render 95% of the web... but people just wanted more and more and more features, and refused to put them anywhere other than in the browser, defeating the point of the whole project.

Google Cloud Run pricing is:

- 2 million requests/mo free

- First 180,000 vCPU seconds free

- First 360,000 GiB seconds free

Then:

- $0.000024 /vCPU seconds

- $0.0000025 /GiB seconds

- $0.40 per million requests

This will get you pretty far for $2/mo. Within the free tier itself, assuming you can process each request in 250ms on a 1 vCPU container, you get 720,000 requests before you start paying for compute usage. Each $1.00 is another ~38,000 vCPU seconds (@1 GiB second) or ~152,000 requests @ 250ms per request.

Roughly speaking, $2/mo. is 1 million requests @ 250ms each request consuming 1 GiB seconds on a 1 vCPU container.

(There's some nominal cost for egress and storage of container images).

Oh, please.

People in technical leadership roles should have formal training and should have spent some time in the trenches, full stop. We hold most other specialized leadership roles to this standard: Chief Financial Officers, Chief Legal Officers, Chief Medical Officers, etc. Why not CTOs and CISOs?

> nasty sexism... male CISO at other company...

The article is about Equifax. I am commenting about Equifax. This is not about gender.

I'm well aware that this problem is pervasive in American business culture. The article is about Equifax. So I am commenting about Equifax.

> Turns out Susan Maudin at Equifax had decades of relevant experience:

Those are all also management roles. She went from non-cybersecurity into cybersecurity management and then worked her way up the management chain.

She had no formal training in IT/CS, no experience as an IC in IT/CS, and her organization royally screwed up.

Expecting relevant formal education and relevant IC experience is not sexist.
Most people already have chargers. They generally have a long lifespan. Why couple them with products that have a shorter lifespan?
The expectation was that because they knew the vaccines reduce the chances of getting symptoms such as coughs associated with transmission, reduced the time people were sick for, and also reduce the viral load in people who got sick, that this would result in a reduced chance that people who caught the virus but were vaccinated would transmit the virus. It was an expectation, yes, not a proven fact but they thought it was worth working on that assumption due to the hoped for benefits. It turns out now, after extensive research on transmission by vaccinated people, that they were correct and vaccination does significantly slow transmission through populations even for the more recent highly infectious variants.

>I’m increasingly understanding why some folks are “paranoid.”

I really don't, all of this information has been available all the way through. That Pfizer executive was simply being honest, what the vaccines do and how they work and the benefits they offer has been accurately communicated right back from the trials phases. I know this because all through those times I kept myself well informed and followed the literature. It helps that my wife is a Nurse, and also that I'm in the UK where the whole issue was far, far less politicised and the accuracy and consistency of information from the media was actually pretty good.

The problem is there was an awful lot of disinformation going around in the US from people either getting partial information and making wild unfounded assumptions, or deliberately fomenting opposition to various policies on political grounds. Nevertheless as I said in my previous post, we're all adults. It's our responsibility to inform ourselves, we can't blame disinformation, some of which is genuinely simply mistaken.
It is important to note that 5G and aircraft radar altimeters do NOT operate or coexist on the same frequencies. The problem is that 5G frequencies are close to radar altimeter c-band frequencies and the issue lies with certain aircraft that do not have sufficient band pass filters in place on their radar altimeter receivers, so when a strong 5G signal is present the aircraft's radar altimeter can be overloaded with adjacent channel interference.

Retrofitting band pass filters on existing aircraft radar altimeters isn't a trivial task - avionics changes to aircraft are a multi-year project since extensive testing is done on anything electrical installed on an aicraft.

Additionally, some 5G infrastructure equipment may need additional band pass filters installed to prevent spurious transmissions outside of their assigned frequency ranges in areas near airports.

If you aren't familiar with a bandpass filter, it basically filters all RF outside of a certain frequency range. Sensitive receivers can naturally be overwhelmed by RF outside of the receiver's frequency range, and preventing that RF getting to the receiver in the first place is the role of a band pass filter.
Sorry, did you expect everyone to be blown away by the litany of common (and widely debunked) talking points from fossil fuel apologists?
>How is it sexism if it's true? Or should people not bring this up because she's a woman?

Nobody would ever bring this up about a man, most CISOs have similar degrees. You haven't even been able to get a formal education on this topic for very long.

Semi-related, but Equifax runs The Work Number, which is basically your "employment credit report / record"; they hoover up the data by agreements with employers that they will share employment info with them.

You can freeze your employment record with them here: https://employees.theworknumber.com/employee-data-freeze/

I highly recommend you do this, as any employer could just decide to look you up using this info and you wouldn't be notified at all (unlike, say, a hard pull on your credit in a regular credit report).

> This is not a "bad" thing, but it's not what the Average Joe wants, it's more what the Average Joe is incited to do. More clicking (on ads directly, or on "engaging content" that shows more ads) is what the business owners want from an Average Joe.

This is a bit of a philosophical question.

Are there things we want that weren't somehow influenced by society (e.g. family, peers, advertisements, culture, etc.)? I'd argue very few things, aside from the basic biological needs. By corollary, almost everything we want is the result of external influence.

> But "people do it == people directly desire it" is a manifestly wrong metric. When something is in short supply in a store, people will line up to secure the chance to buy it. But Apple would be insane to think that people lining up to buy a newest Macbook on the day or release want lining up, and that more lining up is what they'd enjoy. People tolerate lining up to get what they desire. Equally, people tolerate more clicking in order to get what they desire, and what they'd likely prefer to obtain with one click.

If you measured line up times at Apple stores, you would almost certainly find out that its effect (of longer line ups) is a decrease in revenue (and therefore not something people want). If your point was that metrics can be misinterpreted and misused, I absolutely agree with you.

My question was specifically about the revenue/engagement metrics commonly used for software. To me they seem like reasonable proxies that you are building software people want.
This really depends on what you are building of course. Working in enterprise SaaS with only a few users per account? You'll be doing really well at 100k users.
Nope. By happy coincidence, I ran into my brother-in-law at the airport as he was discovering this, and I have a credit card that I love collecting points on and just set to autopay.

One sentence in and the article is already waving its cringe flag proudly.

> I don’t travel like most people do

The author follows that up by saying they’d rather travel to a place like Indianapolis than NYC. In your words author, enjoy spending 4 weeks in Indianapolis living out of your book bag, not doing trips to other cities, sampling the local restaurants of Applebees and chilis, all while using the glorious public transit they have to offer.
> At a point later in the series, one of the characters on the other side of the war demonstrates this by taking three rifles and disassembles them, and then reassembles a working rifle with parts randomly selected from the different three disassembled rifles

Based on the real history of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchangeable_parts :-

By around 1778, Honoré Blanc began producing some of the first firearms with interchangeable flint locks, although they were carefully made by craftsmen. Blanc demonstrated in front of a committee of scientists that his muskets could be fitted with flint locks picked at random from a pile of parts.

This is long overdue, and brilliant and well thought out work. But I can't help but feel like this is shoehorning a useful concept into a primitive type system that only knows inheritance as an abstraction. This sort of thing would be dead simple with Impl in Rust or Trait in Scala.
The article specifically talks about the availability of precision engineering in the concluding section, and attempts to rule it out.

Not that the rebuttal is conclusive; I tend to think that you are closer to being correct than the author's conclusion (which is that the inventors themselves are rare). But I think you would need to specifically address the argument in the article rather than claiming that the article failed to consider this point.
Arguably. Selling an unusable device, that is turned into a fire hazard when you type "Iphone charger" into google, amazon, or alibaba in an attempt to get a fully working device has blame to go around but I would not say Apple is blameless. The most damning is really that Apple is the only individual here with an easy and cheap alternative, just sell fully usable devices.

So this is ludicrous and hazardous for the obvious reasons. And mirrors recent trends in media, social and otherwise, here in USA.

Control of information by a crew of rich guys is bad. Control by the vast mob of malleable munchkins is worse.

I actually think that, on the whole-society scale, less control is the desirable course here. Let individuals do their own filtering. Or not.

So does Facebook and Google - once you get large enough you can create departments that are much less production/profit focussed and more long term.
For anyone who was actually around at that time you need to remember Windows was Windows 95 and that meant a badly behaved application generally required a reboot.

From what I remember of that time, Windows Explorer seemed a little faster, but most importantly it also seemed to require fewer reboots.
You're going around the threads trying to make this a gender issue. It's a valid criticism of anyone.

In this case they happen to be female.

That doesn't mean the criticism is motivated by gender.

Your gender also doesn't excuse you from criticism.
800 pixels was common screen width in 99. Even then it was not considered good practice design-wise to allow text to run the full width like it did in the mid 90s! No max-width, it had to be constrained with tables.

Yep agree it's a stable stack. I have a few archived sites I made in the 90s that work fine in today's browser, rollover JS buttons and all. My disdain for IE is visible in code. I was a Netscape guy for sure!

if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE 3")== -1) {
imageObjectSupported = true; // this line only executes in browsers that
support Javascript 1.1 except of course for IE3, which thinks it supports
Javascript 1.1, but doesn't.
}
Government messaging around this was poor all around. In many places masks were pushed to "protect yourself" (so half the people would automatically not do it out of machismo) rather than "protect others" (which is how regular masks mostly work in reality).

Vaccines fully preventing transmission is also technically not true, personally I never watched the news and only skimmed the actual studies so I knew it but a lot of the population would probably feel duped. However they do reduce transmission and in fact "protect grandma"---if you don't fall sick you don't cough as much so they reduce the number of infected droplets you fire, though of course this implies you also take other precautions like following the isolation guidelines and not being near your grandma in an enclosed space without a mask while talking a lot. Further if you fall sick and occupy medical facilities during a wave of COVID this may directly affect the ability of your grandma to get any treatment (not just for COVID).

I wish we could expect public messaging to convey all this nuance!
But then your spending your time at the mall instead of exploring
False. Go read the reams of comments about Boeing's (male) leadership during the 787-MAX disaster.

I'm sick of MBAs with no domain expertise or formal training ruining lives. Making that about gender is insane.
I don’t dispute that either - it make sense. However, does it not scare you… that it is a fact now, but was not a fact back then, despite being widely preached as a fact back then, and nobody was permitted to counter this “fact” back then and admit it was not so? That’s the uncomfortable part.
I saw a body cam footage the other day of a guy who got pulled over with a fuckton of weed. It was legal in the state he was in, but not the amount he had on his. He also made the mistakes of revealing his destination (non legal state). He seems like a reasonable, chill guy, but ended up somehow as a mule. The comments on the video however, implied that the tactic was to get a dumb American to move something like a ton of weed so that the cops are kept busy while the cartels start moving hard shit like meth, fent, etc.
Let’s hope so. Not enough of this in the world:

“We choose to do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard”

I agree with that.

I've spent a few weeks in Tokyo and Kyoto mid summer (though less extreme I guess than this summer) because of business trips and you can "manage"--in the sense that you can limit activities during the hottest parts of the day or just in general--but I don't really recommend picking visits at those times unless you have some specific reason to.

Montreal in winter on the other hand is fine. But, as you say, you need the right clothing which can be reasonably compact but isn't going to fit in tiny luggage. (And activities will be at least somewhat different from in summer.)

I'm a fairly compact traveler in general (just carry-on usually) and you can get off with a lot in temperate to warm climates in urban locations where you don't need to dress up. But I also don't like to pack only those things that I'm sure I need. For example, I have a little kit bag of miscellaneous stuff I mostly don't need but am sometimes glad I have.

Hmm. It seems like the big differences between the two are:

1) Astro is either all-SSG or all-SSR, while VPS is mix-and-match

2) Astro uses `.astro` templates by default, while VPS uses `.js` by default

3) Astro comes out-of-the-box with Typescript, Sass, etc., while VPS requires more configuration (by design)

Other than that, they seem to have fairly similar project structures and use-cases... Or am I misunderstanding?

That's a generic and well documented stack that utilizes GCP defaults and works out of the box. An "expert" should not take a month to fail to set it up.

I've deployed similar, additionally including GKE, via terraform in a day - Checking TF code for an example 3-env GCP/GKE/CloudSQL stack it's less than 300 LoC

That said, it's not all good - my ongoing complaint with terraforming GCP is that the provider lags behind the features & config available in GCP console - worse than the AWS provider - especially w/r/t GKE and CloudSQL
