Yes! The books if I remember correctly are designed around solving a lot of problems first and foremost.

Taken from the description of one of their books:

"The text is structured to inspire the reader to explore and develop new ideas. Each section starts with problems, giving the student a chance to solve them without help before proceeding. The text then includes solutions to these problems, through which algebraic techniques are taught. Important facts and powerful problem solving approaches are highlighted throughout the text. In addition to the instructional material, the book contains well over 1000 problems."

Yeah, but that is the thing, an IDE works with more than one file.
Before I left I sold my car for $9k and all my stuff for maybe $6k. And I think I had $9k in savings before, so I started with about $24k which lasted me almost 2 years. But I did work odd job Craigslist stuff along the way occasionally. And near the end I got in debt a bit. But it was worth it I think. Now with the way remote work is I could travel indefinitely, but at that time I had less skills in programming and I really didn't wanna work in general.
> We all shower and change clothes on a regular basis(I assume), there's nothing wrong with it.

Au contraire. Step outside to let the world see you doing those things and see how well you fare. You are going to realize quickly just how wrong those things are. Humans aren't rational. Just because we all do it doesn't mean it isn't deemed wrong.

Of course, as with any wrongful act, you can get away with it as long as you aren't caught.
pg wrote about this a couple years back. big-boxy architecture of american suburbia vs all the diverse architectural styles in europe/asia etc.
in many parts of costarica, panama & especially in upscale indian houses, the house looks more like an art project. i’ve been to houses with what would be called gaudy colors - blood red, bright yellow, parrot green walls. non-square rooms, oval spaces with arches and round pillars inside the house. in those places, people use their art skills not just on canvas but also in living spaces. it might not look conventionally pretty, but everybody gets a say - like in the kitchen, my mom had holes of different shapes in the wall, so bottles of different sizes fit into specific holes. no actual shelves! i wanted a table so i got a table built of concrete and cement! just put a tablecloth on top. no need to buy a table, table was an actual part of the house itself. i’ve been to bathrooms with a raised mound of cement to hold pots of water. you carry water from well and you can place the pot with water on the raised mound without bending down all the way to the floor. very thoughtful ideas.

This idea that nyc isn't real America and some fly over country city bugs me a lot. Its marketing that says NYC isn't authentic.

if you say something like

> They’ve got such a strong self-image, a strong desire to be seen as special, that many residents have become actors playing NYC, or LA.

Then claim your traveling like a real local, i cant help but feel your kind of full of it. If this is your take away, you didn't travel like a local, you didn't meet enough new yorkers. Probably met an extroverted transplant and judged from there. A small part of what makes up a place like NYC. Its like someone is looking to feed their bias about what a place should be like.

>Cities where the residents are more focused on living their life, for themselves, not for a global audience.

This is what NYC is. 10 million people, and you think they're putting on a show for a global audience?

Be a local always bugged me. Its seem to always be followed up by, hang out in dive bars and crappy restaurants and do poverty things. I'm local, my friends are local. We don't hang out in dive bars, or eat at crappy restaurants. Why would i think that is the thing to do in another country? After traveling a bit, if you cant speak the local language you'll never understand what its like to be local or understand their life.

> 1. No telegram employee can read any messages. They use distributed key generation to encrypt data on servers which means no single server has access to decryption keys and all the servers are in different jurisdictions.

This is wrong. First, reported messages (via id) are read by employees. Second, regardless of your claims, Telegram can easily write a service which has access to plain text messages.

> 2. They do not sell message content data. If you can prove it, you can go ahead with a lawsuit and win a hefty sum.

How about you prove your claims? I hardly can bring them to justice when even the police doesn't have immediate access to them.

> 3. They do not compromise security. They do not use E2EE by default. Their threat model and vision for a messaging platform is different than yours.

Actually, they do by not using E2EE by default and providing bad encryption possiblities.

> 4. Telegram has never given message content for a court order. As mentioned in the privacy policy, they give out only the phone number and IP Address only in case of terrorism or child abuse and only when there's a court order from a country of a higher democratic index.

no idea about that

> 5. If you truly believe Telegram is bad for privacy even after all the evidence from FBI itself and PrivacySpy giving it a higher score than Signal, then please go ahead and sue them because surely they can't have a good privacy policy and bad privacy at the same time.

Since when is "bad for privacy" a reason for suing? The quality of a privacy policy doesn't have anything to do with privacy itself btw.

Why fix it?

That sort of knowledge is undervalued. The new hires make more not understanding that stuff.

Why not just take the knowledge with you when you retire, and make no attempt to pass it on?

Why is it always up to a lone determined engineer to pass the knowledge on, and not the VPs job to listen to the recommendations to do so, and provide support and training?

Because they think you love it so much, you won't be able to help yourself.

Break this chain. Give them the suggestion - you provide training, time to make content, introduce it to the new people. Explain if they don't get it, what will happen...

And when they say no, take the knowledge and burn it. It doesn't have to be your job to throw yourself on the fire to save their systems. The iron will endure or it won't.

Use the extra time to garden instead.

In the US we need to recognize what the police has become first. An unconstitutional Paramilitary organization that has grown far far far beyond the remit of a peace keeping professional organization charged with keeping an ordered society

This is primarily a result of the War on Drugs, and expanded with the War on Terror. War's are fought by a military, not a police force.
I'm going to be a little obnoxious here. Did he really implement a factoring program, or did he approximate the solution to a high precision numerically? Both would be impressive under the circumstances of course. But if he did it numerically, he still might want to pay attention to how to derive the quadratic equation using partial fractions. It's actually pretty clever.

It's the constraints that come from working in a large team/company - the bureaucracy, the politics, the kind of work (focusing more on scaling vs fun features). A lot more features can be tried out in a startup due to their smaller scale, but not if growth is the only thing they care about.

> regardless of what a misinformed customer service person on Twitter may have thought

I'd suggest that their published guidelines are probably more reliable than the interpretation of those being communicated for convenience by customer service reps. That's not to say this didn't have an impact, it clearly did, and customers should be able to trust this, but most of the reporting on this has treated it like an active decision to ban a particular device by a large company, rather than a misinterpretation by one individual in response to a question about a specific device.

It's just that gif of David Hasselhoff in a speedo where it keeps zooming in on his crotch and it's just more David Hasselhoffs in speedos forever. An image that I assume anyone who's even heard of the Internet has already seen a hundred times. I wouldn't call it NSFW, personally.

[EDIT] I mean, contextually, if you're being weird about it or posting that kind of thing all the time, yeah, it could become NSFW. But I don't think sharing this particular thing maybe with a "warning: low-quality gif of Hasselhoff in speedo" in case anyone cares, is over the line.

1600 Year Old Mosaic Depicting Trojan War Found in Syria
I'm not a game theorist or an economist, but I believe that dealing with climate change will involve, uh, "non-cooperative solutions." People saying, "If we can all just get together and ..." keep forgetting we can't even get humanity to stop stabbing each other in the face. If the "solution" depends on mass cooperation, and worse yet, cooperative mass sacrifice, I just don't think it will happen.

Therefore, we need to look at solutions that don't require eighty percent of humanity agreeing on something.

Then remove prosecutors. Make it so anyone can prosecute or trigger the sequence of events that follow within reason. At least remove the ability for prosecutors to take funding (wtf? who thought of this as a good idea?) and take away their ability to reduce sentences or negotiate which crimes are charged. The "crimes" should be part of the trial process and agreed by a judge or the jury or whatever mechanism you can think of.

Do a bunch of the above and I would argue that would satisfy both sides of the spectrum.

> Who's "they"?

Tautologically, and objectively: those who said such things (intentionally or otherwise, and (from a causality perspective, which is contrary to the far more popular "justified" perspective) it is also subject to imperfect perception on the other end of the wire, if one is able to be comfortable with being extremely "scientific"). This is kinda what I was getting at by "the memeplex is...complex".

> It was to our advantage because it saved a lot of lives, and it was to the advantage of the public health services promoting the policy because it reduced demand on health services (and saved lives).

I do not substantially disagree. However, it may also be to our advantage to consider (or at least, try to consider) whether the degree to which we do such things is highly optimal in an absolute sense. Unfortunately, Western culture seems to have somehow ended up in a situation where speculative, and relative, representations of reality are considered (and taught, constantly) to be synonymous with reality itself....and, there is no shortage of thought terminating memes out there to keep us permanently at this stage (perhaps some of them will even emerge in response to this comment).

Pardon if this is a bit excessively negative/pessimistic, but I am losing patience with the state of affairs on this planet. I gave you an upvote as a counterbalance, for what that's worth.

One needs it only long enough to tide us (humanity) over till we have viable alternative shoe-in solutions.

Without that, turning on a dime away from hydrocarbons toward renewables only will inflict lots of damage to progress and people in both rich and poor countries as well.

We need an intermediate solution to attenuate the impact of hydrocarbons while we transition to alternative energy sources gracefully.

Lots people who advocate for the "bandage tear-off" fix are those who envision being able to withstand the consequences of such a choice. (Oh, I'll telecommute, I'll take the train, I'll get geothermal, I'll move to a mild climate, etc.) Most people don't have the above choices.

Agree completely with your concerns with regards to lost/stolen keys.

Most of the places where I've been able to use my Yubikeys (FIDO2) also offer a very clear list of enrolled/registered keys, along with either a hash or serial number of the key. It makes revoking a key pretty easy in my experience.

I'm less keen on the idea of centralized repo for dead keys - each key is unique to the site in question, so there will be no need to share the existence of that revoked key's identifer with other providers - the data is meaningless to anyone else.
yeah ... I'm noting this analogy for future discussions.
dangerous hyperbole.

Of course you expect it from the Daily Beast but the fact that it is shared at all suggests there's folk out there that will swallow the line. Turns out Musk has been subsiding the Starlink expansion of services to Ukraine, at a cost of some 100 million USD, a substantial donation to the Ukrainian cause in financial terms, never mind the enormous value it has provided in military terms.

His letter sent to the Pentagon a month ago states that indefinite support is untenable and reasonably requests DoD support by sharing at least some of the financial burden.

This is then spun into the headline 'Musk ceases supporting Ukraine', at best an inaccuracy, at worst misinformation
The willingness of societies to sanitize the realities of war is easily understood in evolutionary terms: genes that build brains that are willing to suspend disbelief and engage in violence reproduce better than genes that build brains that are not willing to do so because the former can use a credible threat of violence to exploit the latter as resources. The sad fact of the matter is that the answer to Rodney King's famous rhetorical question is that no, we can't all just get along, because we live on a finite planet with finite resources, and at the end of the day it is Darwin who runs the show, not Jesus. (Which is, ironically, a big part of the reason that belief in Jesus is so persistent and pervasive.)
Taking a quick look at Target's winter coat selection for men... the coats that are appropriate for December - February in Chicago are still in the $150+ range price there. There are some in the $100 that wouldn't be awful for going a block... maybe two... but I wouldn't want to be wearing them if there was a substantial wind, snow, or if I found that I needed to turn around and go back to the bus stop and wait for the next bus.

Or it's just a job.

I served in the Marines (infantry) and got out about 10 years ago. A handful of guys I served with became cops or US Marshalls or prison guards. Because that was the best job they could get with their skill sets. Lots of police departments, at least back then, were actively recruiting people leaving the service.

And as a civilian I'm old enough now to have interacted with many police officers in many different contexts in many different places across the US. One or two of them were power tripping psycopaths for sure. But the VAST majority were just men and women doing a job like anyone else.

I agree that AI "could" help remove bias, not to beat a dead horse, but it is subject to its own training bias. Maybe I'm stuck in 2018 NN models, and newer model authors and trainers are far more aware of that. But this seems like an extremely risky place to put AI.

Not to be glib, but IMHO the biggest obstacle to diversity in the workplace is people who think "diversity in the workplace" is some kind of ideological conspiracy that is out to undermine them personally.

`Yes, AI can boost workplace diversity in a number of ways. For example, AI can help identify unconscious bias in hiring practices, help managers develop more diverse teams, and support employees in feeling comfortable and included at work.`
synchronous replication to replicas is not necessary for data durability and doesn’t have to be a huge drag on throughput. for example, you can achieve high throughput by pipelining uncommitted transactions and then tracking when they are durably committed to backing store (like s3) for when to ack back to clients. and when dealing with failover, you can use the central store for determining place in ledger rather than whatever is on the replica that happens to get leadership.

Scott Simpson over at Lynda.com and now LinkedIn Learning has done a fantastic job of covering much of the entry level stuff over the past decade with some courses on intermediary concepts. It is however behind a pay wall. So yes a non-profit wiki / maybe even online academy for "Greybeard IT" would be very valuable. It seems those coming into the work force today not only lack skills to triage and troubleshoot issues across systems but then have had no exposure to why things are the way they are. From personal experience it took years to collect enough stories and insights from those who came before to get where I am today.
