Given this all happened on the "block chain", wouldn't it be possible to confirm this theory?

Btw, I find this explanation compelling - I'm not challenging it necessarily.
Note: That analysis (ELA) only really looks at gradient/diff of compression artefacts in pratice, so if you losslessly edited the original from the RAW source at full float32 (say in Nuke or something which supports full precision workflows) and then exported to another file, that wouldn't show anything.

In other words, it's mostly only good for detecting if a JPEG (with compression artefacts) was edited and saved to another JPEG, although even then you can work around it to some degree by saving at similar chroma and compression qualities if you know what you're doing.

I don't think that's what the other commenter suggested. The point is that TypeScript should disallow (or at least make harder) to write code which is hard to optimize by the VM - e.g. allowing function parameters to be of multiple types.

But TS has a design constraint to be essentially a superset of JavaScript so it would be difficult to realize this goal.

The point for me was that a snow leopard never walks on such exposes snowy terrain, actually no animal does (humans with ropes are a exeption), it's simply too dangerous:

It was maybe just to have a cool photo...but that is unacceptable behavior from the "social" community.

I guess I can be considered a "lifer". Co-founded a startup nearly 10 years ago. Nowadays my job description can be considered "senior developer" with no managerial responsibility (my choice).

The job has a social impact, pays more than enough for my modest standard of life (lower than market rate, but that's expected for a job in a social impact startup, and I'm at peace with that), colleagues are nice, boss is bearable, and short of the company failing, I can't really be fired. The job is also interesting, with new challenges all the time.

Long story short: it's the right situation for me, and I know for a fact the grass is not greener elsewhere.

You don't like watching George? His coding streams always get me hyped enough to work on my own projects.
I believe the digital randomness can be "tuned" to be very musical (even though it often is not). Sort of like how some modern video games with random elements have a "fun random" rather than mathematically accurate random generation. For example, League of Legends "crit smoothing".

The digital modules by 'Make Noise' are a favorite of mine for this, especially the collaborations with 'soundhack'. They can't listen to the other instrumentation in a piece, but I'm positive they have some built in idea of holding back and then letting loose. They take a lot of inspiration from Don Buchla's analog random generators which were meant to be a semi-controlled random source rather than having a white-noise based random core.

'Mutable Instruments' actually has some modules that can take a rhythmic trigger sequence to generate appropriately matching random fluctuations.

I do agree most plugins and digital hardware with random are rather soulless PRNG's. But it's possible to make something that feels like it has a personality.
I've bought both of his courses and can confirm they are excellent and absolutely worth the money (although I got his newest one at a deep discount, it's fairly pricey). He also makes himself available for questions over Discord and very friendly.
It seems like its not a bad move to replace your hard drive with an empty one before you turn it over for repair. Too bad these new "privacy focused" macs don't let you do that anymore. Maybe you can use an external ssd as your main boot disk and storage volume and not keep anything on the internal ssd.
Anyone using a Mac is probably not using readline but its replacement 'editline'.

So the configuration file is ~/.editrc.

Note also that to have a full mapping of keys available to you, you have to be aware of the tty settings (see stty), the terminal emulator and the GUI environment in which it is running. I would appreciate a tool that would dump all this in a comprehensive list.
I'm confused by this, you can totally find single family homes in SF for 1.5-2M, which while pricey should be affordable after a few years on a FAANG salary if you aren't already spending a lot on kids. They're just in Sunset or Diamond Heights or Portola or Glen Park, not Noe or Mission.

And even in those areas, you can find two-unit condos in that range.
> SBF and his girlfriend Caroline Ellison were also both traders at Jane Street after graduating. Being hired as a trader at Jane Street is no easy feat and more impressive than attending MIT/Stanford I would say.

I guess I have to quote myself here, and re-emphasize that they are all part of the same group of insiders:

>>Can we finally admit the biggest scammers in this space are those from Ivy League, and connections with SV insiders traditional VC/Banking/Finance without out a clue of what they are doing or how this tech actually works

I worked at a megacorp pushing 'blockchian not bitcoin' BS and it was only because they realized they couldn't co-op it and instead ran with alts that ended up getting investigated by the SEC.

Let me makes this very clear: I've been on both sides of this equation and I can assure you even though we didn't have much if any money on the BTC side until very recently (most traditional and VC money went to these insiders) those of us that built companies had to knew how this tech worked and often had to built the infrastructure from the ground up.

I personally couldn't even code until I got into BTC despite having several opportunities to do so, because this space demands that you do since it moves so fast and the pace of innovation requires you to know how it all works otherwise you get left behind. And because of this it becomes very clear who knows what they're talking about and who doesn't when you start to hear the merits of a 'private blockchain' and realize what they're describing is essentially just a SQL database with different branding but totally not that bitcoin thing or why the Byzantine General's problem was thought to be unsolvable by Computer Science prior to Bitcoin, let alone how the mempool works or what a UTXO is.
As you point out, it says on the website that the photos are composites and are edited. She is not claiming otherwise.

So this controversy is silly. There is no lie to expose.
Excerpt from the authors’ website for visibility:

> News and media from around the world stole my images and published them with their own meaning. They did not ask me if they were edited. They interpreted them in their own way and spread them around the world. They told their followers that they were not edited. This is untrue, I always edit my images.

> In September-October, I traveled to Nepal, took photos, edited them, and posted them on my Facebook Page to my 2000 friends and 1100 followers. The story behind this series is true, all of the images are taken by me. I did in fact walk 103 miles to take those images. I gave permission to a select few places to share them. My intent for the entire series was to raise awareness of snow leopard conservation. I sold a little over 50 prints and donated $787.50 to the Snow Leopard Trust.
I am not and I don't actively plan on becoming one (if it "happens", then so be it).

1. I'm full time remote employee now and I am not fully onboard with it. I don't plan to retire as a remote worker. I want to work in office again - in some form.

2. WLB is a valid factor. It is a sad reality that we need to talk about this in 2022.

3. I guess here you meant to say that the company won't go under before you retire, which makes sense.

4. Avoiding interviews is one of the weaker excuses to stick to one company. It puts you at risk if stuff hits the fan. Always be looking. This is not a critique of the interivew process, but you need to play the game.

5. Job market is another weak example. If you plan to be a lifer, you _want_ a strong job market, otherwise your job will be at risk.

6. Ageism. Surely ageism is going to be a big topic very soon if not already?
The tech-boom went mainstream in mid to late 2000s. Those who benefited from that wave are already in their mid-30s now and by mid 2020s they will fit the criteria for ageism. I am hoping this gets talked about more by then at least.

7. I heard somewhere that "the top company in X years time hasn't been established yet." I believe there will be new opportunities.

Other reasons that might influence becoming a Lifer:
1. Arcane knowledge of internal systems.

2. Specialization: Too old/reluctant/afraid to specialize in ML/AI/web3/...

3. You're a superstar coder/10X Engineer/Charismatic Leader/...

I have around 25 years of career left (with retirement age in mid 60s). It feels too risky to say I would stick to one company for life, even if it is _insert-your-dream-company_.
You sound a lot like me, only I've already been in my current company for a smidge over ten years. I don't see the experience in another company being any better than I have here (sure I can get more money but at the loss of work/life balance and personal stress levels).

Also, being around longer I've built up a nice backlog of benefits including equity and a metric ton of vacation days. I would have to give up a lot if I moved, and most companies I've spoken to won't match my deal for a new hire.
> Where does the line lie?

Putting aside the discussion about these particular photographs... There are clear lines, especially for certain types of photography. For things like reportage, documentary and true nature photography, the simplest rule is to represent reality, without addition, removal or significant alteration. In these circles even significantly cropping a photo can be seen as manipulative. Dodging and burning is mostly seen as processing, not material change to the photograph.

But importantly the rule is to not lie about the reality the photo depicts. Nature photography is as much about the effort or the hunt as it is the photo, so honest is key. Other photos have been removed from competitions and stripped of prizes due to misrepresentation, from editing to using tame animals. You can edit the photo's appearance through post processing of exposure, sharpness, etc... it is the subject that is important. Lying about the subject invalidates the photo.

A cautionary tale for you:

I was in a similar situation a few years ago, working at FAANG and living in SCV. Wanted a house more than anything.

Eventually, got relocated to a lower COL area and finally accomplished my dream of owning a home.

Inspector didn’t catch a few things, also bought at the peak of housing mania and now we are both underwater and have sunk a large chunk of our savings into making the house safe and livable for our kids.

If we would have stayed in SCV and rented we’d be in a better financial position. However, overall we are happy with our choices given we don’t have to stress about things like keeping a 3yo quiet for the neighbors who live below us.

Not saying a house won’t make you happy, just saying houses are not a complete measure of financial success.

This is depressingly common. I've worked with a few developers like this in the past. It's like that phrase "repeating their first year over and over for the last ten years" meaning they haven't expanded their skills ands knowledge since then. They often don't even start being curious about anything, it's full blinker mode. Reminds me a lot of this recent comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33787857

Some of the ones I've worked with have managed to be promoted to senior or even lead type positions not from knowledge or abilities, but just by repeating their first year over and over at a small business that doesn't have any other developers to help them level up. Management is usually non-technical at these small organisations so they don't even see the problem, even if a solution took 100x times longer than it would have in any other situation. Those developers wouldn't be considered even mid-level at literally any other job. Scary some of the code and systems they've come up with in my experience.
And of course, it absolutely happened during WW2.

Yeah, I didn't go into it as optimistic as you, but I remember thinking about Ligeti's "microtonal fugue" music: that just sounds like a swarm of depressed bees. At best it works as a one-off joke.

But then it felt like they were unaware and indifferent to each other's gimmicks as well. Feels like I've heard "striking a tamtam then quickly dipping it in water" (boinng!) from an awful lot of "original" modernist composers .

I agree that American minimalism is the main part of conservatory-guarded prestige music where there's actually something interesting - although it, too, started in some dubious and awfully arrogant theorizing.

No, GitHub pages are tied to "an" account. It can be a secondary "anonymous" account. You can create an anonymous bear blog or one of the other million free writing and zero maintenance tools. It's certainly more anonymous than having to disclose your real identity via a credit card on a random person's page.

Thank you for this perspective. Reading your comment and revisiting my own perspective through an "outsider's" lens has given me something to think about. The facts are true, and the objective view feels very valid to me. I am realizing I have some work to do in reconciling the two.

> I think this typically happens during childhood/yound adulthood and progresses over time to a point where what you want is completely overshadowed by your conceptions of what the society/environment/culture thinks of what somebody your age/type should want.
