This is very good advice, if you want to work in Germany. The general requirement to call oneself an engineer ("Ingenieur") is that a person has successfully completed a technical or scientific course of study at a German university or university of applied science with the duration of at least three years (full-time). Each German state has its own Engineer Law ("Ingenieurgesetz", IngG) for the details, which also include the regulations regarding the recognition of foreign qualifications and fines for unauthorized use of the title (for example, up to 25,000 Euro in Baden-Württemberg).

You can’t do any “freeform” drawing on Freeform on Mac OS. You can only use the pen tool for vector lines and splines. There is no pencil/marker tool.

I understand that a mouse or trackpad are not the best tools for drawing but many of us have used them for that since the original MacPaint app in 1984. Why remove this feature from the Mac version? Let alone for someone with a pen-based tablet.

I'm a bit younger, working as a Software Engineer for a startup. I'm building my own projects to move towards them in the future as a real startup when it starts making money.

I don't have a mentor. I was thinking about it, but for me being active on websites connected with my lifestyle and following their valuable people in my topics: startups, technology, and building a successful business became a great way to improve every day.

For me these sites are Twitter, IndieHackers, HackerNews, ProductHunt, BetaList. I find there is so much precious content, better than reading some old blog posts or forums.

I can live day by day, following their ups and downs. I can actively comment on their work and ask questions. That's a hidden mentoring for me.
when your $2000 TV breaks in 1985, you get it repaired because the current models cost just as much and are basically indistinguishable.

Its a perfectly sensible view. unfortunately not one shared by your typical bean counter. MBAs routinely buy out companies and gut the value creation parts to increase valuation for short term gain before pawing off the hollowed out shell to the next owner. its sick but widespread.

I try to keep it simple: “Know thyself”. I try (and mostly fail) to practice Mindfulness all day every day. No miracles happen. It is a slow (sisyphusian ?), and mostly mundane (chemical ?) process.

O, to the contrary, my dear friend. Someone with a lot of wealth has gained by exploiting their wealth to gain more power -- which results in them gaining more wealth.

I would say that the correct equation is Riches!=Power. One can have a vast treasury that, incorrectly deployed, does not gain them power.

It's important to understand this in the context of the cultural and political fights of the American academy as well. Feyerabend's position is very reasonable, but the straw-man treatment went both ways. It also played to the biases of people who felt that they were/are being marginalized by the evolution of the academy into a more scientific/technical institution. (For most of History, Stanford's number one major was History. This is one no longer the case and the degree has lost a lot of its former prestige). These factions routinely took his work to then argue that all science is irrational or baseless or incorrect as if it were a logical either or proposition. This is also absurd and not really what Feyerabend was going for, but the debate is maybe not really about method as much as it is about the political concerns of academics.
David Jiménez Ex Director of the Spanish Newspaper El Mundo was there in Fukushima. In one of his commentaries (extracted mainly from his interview in the podcast of Jordi Wild) explains that he encountered rescuers who showed him Geiger instruments measuring unsafe levels of radiation.

And a really gossip comment comes from JDM car lovers that have gone to Fukushima and show abandoned cars with again unsafe radiation levels.

It is not easy to react to a possible nuclear disaster after a heavy earthquake anyways.
That's all nice theory on paper, but you sure have no clue about reality of most folks you write about...

Life is too short, and damn too short to make huge mistakes like this, for something so meaningless as just money. I am not saying cash is completely meaningless, we don't live in utopia, but the more you have them less meaning/significance they have.

Any white collar folk who ain't completely useless can earn enough to have a decent life and realize (as quickly as possible) that true meaning in life, and long term happiness are in completely different direction than piles of cash. At one point you start paying heavily with former to get latter.
The /proc/<pid>/* hierarchy has always been a bit of a mess to parse.

/proc/<pid>/maps is similarly frustrating: there's no clear distinction between "special" maps (like the stack) and a file that might just happen to be named `[stack]`. Similarly, the handling for a mapped region on a deleted file is simply to append " (deleted)"[1].

What does "tactical gear" mean specifically? How many firearms did they bring per person?

Right wing extremists are well armed right? I bet it was like 10 guns for each person, surely.
The reason I brought that specific thing up is that it's not an isolated thing. It happens over and over in complex situations when the system is top-heavy in its steering. In any complex situation, you need to have people on the ground with the trust and authority and safety to do what they think is best, precisely because of the reasons you mention with the chaos and delayed communications, and so on.

> it’s the tempo of perfection

I believed in this as well for many years, but I've taken some lessons with famous bluegrass guitarists and all three of them said that you can't really play fast (which in bluegrass is "blistering") unless your body has a feeling for what it's like to be moving quickly at speed without tensing up. All three recommended occasionally taking a swing a tempo that was too fast just to get the feel there.

I've ended up on the following practicing diet, all to metronome:

CYCLE THROUGH:

- 1 rep Slow, No Mistakes (you can think really deliberately about what comes next)

- 1 rep Medium, 1 Mistake Max (you're using mostly muscle memory)

- 1 rep Fast, 3-5 Mistakes Max (focusing on how your body feels moving this quickly without tensing)

Then at the end of the practice session I'll take one or two (or admittedly five or six) inappropriately fast just for fun. I've been informed that this is possibly undoing some of the work I did in the practice session, but I'm playing music to enjoy myself, not to get as good as possible as quickly as possible.
Their game is high-volume-low-cost/effort, which I think is the main reason that this approach does significantly cut fraud volume (admittedly at, typically, a tiny cost in lost sales).

A lot of them are just stuffing stolen credit card numbers to try to find which ones still work, anyway, so they don't care about breaking into your system in particular, they just want to find any system that will let them attempt a charge. If they're finding enough of those using cheap or free anonymous accounts from low-credibility email address providers, they have no reason to spend more time or effort on it.

Blocking these providers doesn't mean you won't still see better-targeted fraud attempts, but it cuts down on a ton of the low-effort but high-volume automated crap—and that stuff can kill a merchant payment processing account in a weekend, if you're not pretty good at blocking it.
True but it still might be better than the alternative of working just enough (~40 hours/week) to still make it hard to spend a lot of time on outside interests while not living very comfortably, financially speaking.
Until we have AGI, I expect automation to be similar to the past. Where productivity increases along with material wealth and standard of living. After AGI, "what jobs will people do?" is probably the most uninteresting part.

> it was absolutely preventable, and they had the means to do so.

This is not that interesting an observation by itself. For example, they could have shut down and decommissioned the reactor.

What I believe you're trying to imply is that they were aware of problems and they could have fixed them in advance of the tsunami, and fixing them would not have been prohibitively expensive. But more important is the implication that the reactor was known to be particularly vulnerable in comparison to all the other nuclear power stations in Japan, and the cost of fixing all issues of comparable a priori severity was within the capacity of the funding of the system.

The last bit is critical here; and it's why I disregard the narrative of Fukushima Daichi being "preventable". There are no current nuclear designs that are naturally fail-safe; all of them rely on active measures to ensure safety in the event of system failures. When the next disaster strikes, it will hopefully has as small an impact as Fukushima, but what I can guarantee is that afterwards we will have a laundry list of all the reasons why it was completely preventable based on the knowledge we had at the time.
<< (You laugh? I did this at a Java shop. The one-off Ruby project made the company $30,000. My boss was, predictably, quite happy and never even asked what produced the deliverable.)

Oh boy. Ask for forgiveness later may work at a smaller joint, but willfully and knowingly bypassing existing policies can land you in a heap of trouble at a bigger corporate. The boss may be happy, because he is an idiot with no concern other than getting a bonus all the while security of the product ( and possibly the company itself ) is undermined by one coder.

And I am saying all this as I am trying to convince my boss that Python may be better suited for some tasks than Excel ( long story, some stuff is kinda locked, but not completely ).

Bottom line is.. some rules exist for a reason. Break those only if you understand why they can be broken ( and you are comfortable with explaining stuff should it fail in your lap ).

Edit: Honestly, that one piece of advice makes me really start to appreciate why some things are the way they are.
My 2-cents seeing friends and a sibling go through the IB track.

You have 100+ hr/wk for a few years in your 20s, when you're young and can sort of handle it. But by the time you're having a family you work more normal hours and make absolute FU money (e.g my younger brother makes over 10x/yr what I do at only 31 years old). It's not about the salary and hours when you start at 22, its about the salary and hours when you're 32 and 42.

I compare this to my friends who became physicians or accountants, and I think the IB folks have a waaaay better work-to-pay ratio long-term. I'm on the fence about consulting because the pay ceiling seems lower and I don't personally know enough of them.
>Compare that to the daily deaths due to mining coal, extracting gas, shipping those to the fossil fuels to power stations, and the deaths due to fossil fuel pollution including those from climate change

Oh go join Greenpeace already.

I really get fatigued seeing people bash oil and gas as if it has zero value. The human population wouldn't have hit 8 billion but for natgas feedstock for nitrogen* fertilizer. People would still be heating their homes with dried animal feces and wood but for propane. We'd still be hunting whales but for kerosene. And damn sure, the ability to enjoy a high quality of life with a relatively modest cost would be all but impossible but for the myriad of uses for petroleum products in general.

But you didn't feel the need to point any of that out, and instead parroted the tired, cliched stance of a stereotypical progressive.

I think if you confronted your average user with what these companies collect in data behind the scenes they would be astounded. I've seen a lot of this stuff professionally and it is quite amazing that any of this is legal at all.

Note: as a practical matter, SBF's out-of-pocket is probably between 25-50 million (bondsmen normally charge 10%-20%, depending on risk factors and bail amount), and SBF's parents have this much in assets and savings to cover it (and can probably take loans to cover any shortfall), though this will definitely wipe out any of their legitimate holdings.

Not sure I agree. You, as with most critics actually, seem to be asserting there are clear "quality" lines to be drawn between great novels. IMO we're into the realm of subjectivity here and it's really up to the reader to decide what they like.

I didn't like Tender is the Night too much, and I love Hemingway's novels more than his stories (generally), chiefly The Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Do I know better than you or do famous critics know better than me? I don't think so.
It's even more sad for kids being raised on smartphones and iPads as their only computing paradigm. If desktop OSes aren't complicated enough, there's certainly no hope of you learning how one of those work with how locked down they are. There's a lot of people who got into programming from learning to make Minecraft mods or basic scripting for some game. It feels like the mobile application paradigm tightly cements the idea that all software that runs on a computer is from some big company and shan't be tampered with.

And I don't think Xcode Playgrounds or various Programming Environment For Babies applications draw as much attention and spark as much imagination as learning to mod infinite lives into a game you already play, or even something as simple as modifying an ini file for a mod you found online.
