I think they recently added a way to opt out of it entirely. That said, it does very little and because it's not a sandbox it's easy to 'escape':

• Copy an EXE to %TEMP% and run it from there.

• Use a Win32 API flag to start a process (of any path) outside the app container.

There are only a few cases where Helium is an issue and they're all easy to work around. One example is writing a log file to your app private UserData directory and then opening Notepad on it. If you do it the 'naive' way then Notepad won't be able to find it, because you'll pass a redirected path which it can't see. The fix is simply to resolve the redirect before passing the argument to Notepad using a Win32 API call.

I know we talked about Conveyor a few days ago so I'll note here that if you package a JVM app with it then the %LOCALAPPDATA% and %APPDATA% environment variables are rewritten to their target locations automatically, so as long as you use them to decide where to write app private files then their paths will be visible to other apps, avoiding the Notepad issue. This doesn't apply to native or Electron apps though, at least not at this time.
How many civilians know about the army's ranking system? I'd bet a lot less than 10% of them, maybe not even 1%. I'd wager you need at least some army experience in order to be familiar with army ranks.

Poor addresses happen all the time, and is more likely to be because of the PR/marketing/production team rather than her (lack of) military/army experience.
In 20 years, my Macs have proven to be as well-built, hardwarewise, as the best Windows machines I had in the 90s (so, IBM-era Thinkpads). I have one in the house in use as a server that's 12 years old. Runs fine. It's slower than the M1 I'm typing on now (& obviously battery life would be awful) but if I had to I could do work on it.
I don't have a lot of advice other than find something that you enjoy to fill your time. With 6-12 months of emergency fund, and cutting your bills even further, you could enjoy your time off.

Thankfully my wife is a Marriage and Family Therapist, and earns close to what we NEED, so all of our big bills (rent and mortgage, insurances, car notes, etc) are taken care of. So that means if I get laid off, there isn't a lot of pressure on needing to find another job. But as others have said, there are plenty of unsexy jobs available.

I have also always had the idea that this is the last gig I am going to do, so if it ends, I might end up going full time into my furniture building hobby. Take it from a few grand a year to a few grand a month by working full time at it instead of tired nights and weekends.
You can charge it pretty quick too. I really wish we had an update to it though to add wireless charging. There were wireless battery packs for the last version (The AA battery one) which worked great.

Scholz himself has set the goal to have gender parity. He simply could choose not to adhere to that. The worst that could happen is some internal criticism from his party.

On the other hand, the MoD has been the red-haired stepchild of ministries in Germany for a long time, especially when left-wing parties control the government. You could almost think that they are intentionally trying to sabotage it by putting people in charge who are completely unqualified. Lambrecht is just the latest example of that. Then again, Merkel didn't do much better.

Lambrecht's direct predecessor under the Merkel administration was not much different. Her predecessor became President of the European Commission after Merkel had to get her out of dodge due to a scandal that had resulted in a parliamentary inquiry.

Her predecessor made decisions that were directly responsible for a lack of spare parts as well as a failed programme for developing the "Euro Hawk" drone.

His predecessor's political career was ended by a plagiarism scandal involving his PhD thesis.

I've been on sales calls and in PoCs with a couple major Mexican conglomerates (think Cemex, Pemex, or Azteca level or the MX operations for BBVA or Santander) so I've had the chance to interact with a number of Mexican software engineers, plus I have a couple Mexican diaspora SWE friends and honestly the talent is there, but it won't really be the next "Poland" or "India" like how the article portraies it.

The issue I've seen is you're going to be paying Austin in the 2010s level salaries ($60-70k base plus stock) for competitive talent due to remote work or Central Europe salaries at the lower end ($30-40k base), plus the added salary pressure of MX nationals being able to move to the Bay Area, Austin, NYC, or Seattle via the TN visa (most undocumented immigration coming from MX are not MX nationals - they're primarily Honduran, El Salvadoran, Nicaraguan, or Guatemalan nationals).

With that level of salaries, you aren't getting a significant discount compared to other locations nor the ability to run 24 hour operations. American companies are fine paying MX level salaries if not higher when you factor in equity in India, Romania, and Poland or pay US level salaries in Israel because it gives them the ability to have continuous 24/7 operations and a level of redundancy from a risk planning standpoint.

None of this is to say MX ain't a bad spot to develop talent - anything but given the free trade agreements with the US, South America, and the EU and the very American-esque regulatory system making it a great hub for American companies to expand within the Hispanoblante world - but the scene is similar to Germany or France's in the sense that the dev industry seems heavily Finance, Manufacturing, Defense, or Conglomerate driven and treats it as a cost center.
> Rising incomes have solved this problem (perhaps too well) in every single advanced economy on Earth.

This is an unrealistic fantasy. 90% of all the available wealth is held by the top 1%. Cost of living increases have never matched inflation. The most advanced society Earth has ever seen is sliding slowly backwards. Few are getting richer, nearly everyone is getting poorer. Your solution is elusive.

> Is your assumption that certain developing societies aren't capable of this? Or won't do this? If that's the case, why?

I do find it funny that the article basically arrives at "it's hard to find people to do this stuff" when the headline would imply the opposite.

I could actually see the opposite being true. Lots of companies might not want to hire FTEs right now due to a maybe recession, but there's still a lot of work to be done, so they just use contractors instead.

If their OS wasn't a dumpster fire of mindbogglingly poor UX hidden inbetween good and shiny UI/UX (if anyone wants examples, not having the option to have different scroll directions between mouse and trackpad even if the UX implies you do, and useless undebuggable error messages such as "A USB device is consuming too much power and has been shut down, reinsert it to use it again" without any indication which device it's talking about, with all of them still working), and if their hardware wasn't utterly unmaintainable I would have shared your opinion, but hélas that isn't the case.
Personally, as a freelancer/consultant, I never think there is a right time for anything in my life. Of course, you might feel differently (and it probably is different). I'm offering advice from my perspective only, and I don't have a home to make, or children to worry about. I've been freelance/consulting/whatever for about 2 years, so make of this what you will, but I'm still early stages having just been where you're at.

First I want to say, the risk might not be as big as you might think it is. You've a pretty in-demand skill set right now, more so than most SWEs. If things don't pan out as you expect, you can always get another full-time position despite the 'looming recession'.

That said, here is some unsolicited advice. Rebuttal as necessary :)

Regarding leads/prospects, if you do decide to make the jump, chances are you'll be tapping your professional network for leads, or pitching strangers if you happen to get on a call with them via cold email. This can work for a while, maybe get your first recurring clients, but I don't recommend working with a matchmaker like Toptal, Fiverr, Upwork, or an agency.

The platforms tend to have poor pay and bad clients. Agencies will limit your ability to build a direct relationship with the clients. I know people have built successful businesses using both of them, but for me having a direct relationship with high-value clients seems to have paid off doubly as I can set my own terms (fixed rate / value based) rather than the typical hourly model. If you can/want to build such a relationship, you should *get on the phone with a decision maker* (a huge unlock for closing work). Regular dev/engineer interview channels will yield regular dev work, pay, and circumstances (maybe that's a feature for you).

After a few sales calls for clients, You may realize getting leads to come to you is best, or at minimum people should have a reason to answer your emails like having some kind of branding or marketing, so start writing, coding, tweeting, or whatever regularly to get attention. Keep at it. It's hard work.

On top of everything, you will fuck up, and that's okay, so give yourself some breathing room financially and mentally.

> Email addresses are infinite and free, but working phone numbers are limited and usually cost money.

In many parts of the world, getting a phone number requires recording your government ID with the carrier (and burners are illegal, though usually for the carrier not the consumer), so the calculus then becomes “to prove you’re not a spammer, give up everything about your identity that was or ever will be known”. Which, no.

(There’s a reason why Russian democracy activists are divided between a “use Signal, everybody else is dodgy as all get out” camp and a “fuck no, don’t use Signal, doxxing you will be slipping $20 to a random SIM card salesman” camp. But parts of Western Europe are the same, and some are even ahead on e.g. unavailability of anonymous stored-value cards for transport or mandating testimony against yourself wrt encrypted storage.)

They still have all the bureaucracies and all that alleged "institutional knowledge", the consultants just came on top to provide scapegoats when some decisions turns out to be wrong.

The bureaucracies are full of bureaucrats, and that's the problem. They don't want to make decisions (because they could be blamed), they've only ever learned how to maneuver in bureaucracies, so they're pretty much useless for anything but bureaucratic work. Turns out, even if you work in a bureaucracy, you still need to get some actual work done, e.g. on military policy. And they mostly can't. When they accidentally hire people that can, those people will smash their head against the wall of incompetence and political corruption until they leave, and who can blame them?

> the natural environment will select for

What do you mean by this?

Natural selection AKA "survival of the fittest" only works over the course of thousands or millions of years. Otherwise, Mars would be pretty much stuck with whatever people it (hypothetically) had. Especially if you're talking about a colony that decides to make itself independent of Earth.

On Earth, we can be selective of who we would (hypothetically) send to Mars. But wouldn't we select loyalists to ourselves? Unless... we make Mars a penal colony. ;-)

Also, "community spirit" can mean obedience to the strict existing hierarchy, for the preservation of the community.

There are no carbon neutral fuels 'with' agriculture.

Afaik, no bio-fuel scheme, including ethanol from sugar cane in Brazil, is carbon negative. I might be wrong or out of date, but my last dive into this resulted in an understanding that we'd be better off just using turning the carbons required to grow the things we would eventually turn back into energy and using it.

Agriculture as it currently stands globally is a carbon source from an LCA perspective, and that includes biofuels.
There were other solutions 10+ years ago, but they're all dead. I guess the comment you're replying to was nervous because when people do python things in another language they sometimes don't follow python standards.

> The audio out of my iPhone with good headphones is excellent.

Unless you're using a no-longer-supported older iPhone, you don't have an aux jack. Given the ongoing ubiquity of aux cables in cars, homes, planes, etc. and the ongoing unreliability and low quality of bluetooth headphones, I'm not sure you can call the audio out "excellent." I'm sure it works for many use cases. When you use an external DAC, I'm sure it's even great.

But considering the fact that Apple doesn't even support hifi codecs over Bluetooth, it might be that you just have a simple use case for audio. I know that between the car and my home speaker system, I couldn't live without an aux jack.
