Right, but that's the thing: possession (even in the actual sense, let alone constructive possession) doesn't mean use. A card declaring (in effect) "I have been prescribed cannabis to use it as medicine" does mean use.

If anything, Grandma being the card-carrying pot user and not you would likely be evidence in your favor - to be presented and argued by a competent defense attorney in court, of course, not by you to some power-tripping cops interrogating you (the only correct response to a cop asking you anything for any reason at any time under any circumstance is for you to invoke your rights to silence and an attorney - and such a "shut the fuck up" strategy has indeed gotten people out of pot-related convictions, at least if these lawyers are to be believed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgWHrkDX35o).

I’m sorry but if the people who repairing your off the shelf equipment are in China they already know how it works, otherwise how would they repair it? The claim makes almost no sense. Is there an export ban to China from Switzerland? How do we know the Chinese aren’t already using it. This is a common device used in construction world wide. Did they think they are the only users?

I know a few full-time infosec professors who spend a ton of time on twitter. You would expect these people to lead path-breaking research in their fields, but all they do is share memes about infosec, and ofcourse a few papers a year written mainly by their grad students.

But maybe they too are salesmen types. Marketing their services to midwit management people on twitter. I include politicians in this too. Hurr durr china is going to defeat us in "cyber space" opens up a lot of business opportunities for government contractors. No one care about compilers, or operating systems the same way.
And then you look again at the GP, and see that the only reasonable interpretation of "strong" that phrase can have has no relation at all with competence.

Or worse, because bad times create broken people. And while broken people can stand adversity, they are much less able to create something non-broken.

OK, so then we should repeal labor laws and allow employers to abuse their employees? The problem is that your tired analogy has no nuance: all criticism is considered "bullying". We should simply allow everyone to do anything they want? Clearly that's absurd, so the sandcastle analogy doesn't work.

Why not just argue the criticism on its merits, rather than complaining that criticism shouldn't be allowed at all?
> Do better, Apple - if you say you're leading the way in helping the environment, especially when it comes to the disposal of old devices, an excessive drop in value when trading these in is not going to be a success.

they likely have specific margin per sale. after doing trade and factoring in costs.. not worth offering more when newer apple chips available that customer want.

> 10 times programmers don't exist.

Maybe not, but I _can_ say that for me the problems I unstuck for customers _were_ about programming, not requirements gathering or process.

It usually was some small kernel of a larger codebase that was ill thought out (usually under-engineered, or solved with a naive approach that wouldn't scale/perform) and hadn't been thought out right.

The solution usually involved recasting the entire approach and solving it some other way.

You are right that I didn't have to deal with town halls, or scrums or any of that, and that was definitely part of the upside.

But what I _did_ have to deal with as a 'fixer' was that I never know what specific skills would be required at this particular customer site. It required thinking on your feet and was frankly exhilarating to pull of.
I would like others' salaries to go up. I'd rather not have mine come down. I mean, the median is $115k or so in the US. I make under that.

Now this is a really unpopular opinion on here... I think the real issue is centralization of high capital tech work, and really the density of people in general. The cost of living in places like NYC, northern VA, and Silicon Valley are all hugely above the median. It's like a vicious cycle of groupthink instead of evenly distributing those jobs (companies) throughout cheaper, less populous areas. I'd love to see someone from a depressed area start a big name company in that area to help being jobs and prosperity to their neighbors. Perhaps that's just my deluded fantasy.
I'm sorry for your situation - but I also feel obliged to say that the opposite is true.

The famous song/saying - "Don't know what you got 'til it's gone."

It's important to take inventory on your life and your feelings regularly - so you don't end up in a situation you shouldn't have been in for a long time, and also so you don't leave or end something that's really good.
My son had a cartoonishly mean 4th grade teacher this year. Saccharine sweet to the parents, but berated my son daily. We pulled him out of the school over winter break, and he is so much happier already. He wakes up with a smile on his face again.
I was a BA in Japanese graduate during the 2008-2009 recession and ended up doing IT for a little bit, took time off to teach English, and ended up going back to school for a BSc in Software Development. I landed my first software job over 4 years ago in my 30's and have been fairly happy with my trajectory. Starting at the "bottom" as a junior with people about 10 years younger than me was a bit humbling, but ultimately I realized that having life experience was a big help in moving up faster than younger folks.

Based on your description, it sounds like you have no idea what you want to be doing. This will make it hard to find meaningful work because you'll just float around to different jobs doing whatever is available. I would suggest taking some time and be introspective about what motivates you to get better, otherwise I would just reconsider your career path and try something new to see if it sticks.
What escapes my understanding with the whole "interaction is observation" thing is that I don't get how anything could ever not be interacting with a whole lot of other stuff. Gravity and EM fields are everywhere. Even if photons are somehow immune to that (which, they're not, because gravity can re-direct photons) it's my understanding that we can see the same interference patterns with particle streams of ordinary matter, and I can't for the life of me figure out how those could ever not be interacting with basically everything remotely nearby, including the entire test apparatus.

Architecting Safer Autonomous Aviation Systems
There has been a huge push for annual flu vaccination in the last ~10 years in the USA. It was a favorite target of anti-vax conspiracy theorists long before Covid.
Both our replies are wholly unnecessary.
So you are saying this functional vaccine exists, and has been approved by the FDA for another use, so that it can be used off-label, but that people do not use it because people don't know about it...

...and you don't name the vaccine or provide any specific information about it.

I'm sure you see the irony!

What is this vaccine called, and for what other purpose has it been approved? Do you have a link to a study indicating that it is somewhat affective against Neisseria gonorrhoeae?
`curl | sh` is perfectly fine and not any more dangerous than using apt or whatever else.
> it seems more like a moneymaking machine than something that actually has some worthwhile results

The flu vaccine is absolutely not a moneymaking enterprise (unless you define "money-making" as "spending less money on treating serious flu cases and sequelae", at which point you might as well leverage that same logic to argue against all preventive care).

> 40% is terrible for something like gonorrhea, so unless it becomes much better you're better off being more diligent in your sexual escapades.

This is a common attitude amongst the public, but it is completely at odds with how public health officials operate, because it's incredibly harmful and counterproductive.

Shaming people for sexual activity might feel good and "moral", but not only does it not actually reduce incidence, but it increases the rate of STI transmission.

40% is not perfect, and it's insufficient to merit mass public vaccination, but it's more than adequate for protecting high-risk groups.
Consider also the possibility of professional licensing.
The hash can be uploaded somewhere. Alternatively a seed to randomize the executable can be derived from an immutable token like serial number.

Yet another solution is to re-sort the executable into a stable order and compare the hash of that.
Corporations should be accountable to their employees. The system we have today is harmful.
> Major cities are dictating policy for everyone else.

Cities contain large quantities of people -- that's why they are called population centers. Large numbers of people generate lots of votes. As compared to locations with fewer amounts of people, cities will have an outsided influence on the outcome of elections.

How else do you want it to work? Normalize vote weight by acreage?
Then you can mix-and-match:

const activePlayers =
players
|> filter(x => x.isAlive)

const highestScore =
activePlayers
|> map(x => x.score)
|> tryMax

In any case, I don't see how being restricted to always using an intermediary variable for every step is an advantage.
Abstract:

The aviation literature gives relatively little guidance to practitioners about the specifics of architecting systems for safety, particularly the impact of architecture on allocating safety requirements, or the relative ease of system assurance resulting from system or subsystem level architectural choices.

As an exemplar, this paper considers common architectural patterns used within traditional aviation systems and explores their safety and safety assurance implications when applied in the context of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) based functionality.

Considering safety as an architectural property, we discuss both the allocation of safety requirements and the architectural trade-offs involved early in the design lifecycle. This approach could be extended to other assured properties, similar to safety, such as security.

We conclude with a discussion of the safety considerations that emerge in the context of candidate architectural patterns that have been proposed in the recent literature for enabling autonomy capabilities by integrating AI and ML. A recommendation is made for the generation of a property-driven architectural pattern catalogue.
I think it's a combo of two things:

1) To get the best training data, you sometimes need to let things you've classified as spam into the inbox to verify that the user marks it as spam. It's pretty standard for training a classification system to occasionally pass negative samples to verify their negativity.

2) The spam filter itself almost certainly has a latency budget, and if it can't respond in time, the message is passed unfiltered. In other words I think the spam filter fails open. It's probably just been down more lately.
Sounds like you have a phenomenal opportunity that you're wasting. A friend, proven founder AND investor has hired you personally to implement at least one of many ideas he has. I'm going to assume given the track record, these ideas are actually good with market demand. This is a rare find. Most idea people are 'wantrepreneurs', but here you have the real deal.

And yet you put him on mute, characterize your job as stroking his ego, and ask him for a job (I thought working with him was your job?)

If you can manage and redirect his manic energy, prioritize the many ideas, and commit to building out a single one in the next 6 months, you're in the rare position of potentially becoming a co-founder of a company that won't have any problems fundraising.
Rust is nice and I enjoy using it every time. Still it feels not matured as long as async is still in an MVP state.
The US has a kind of older code of guns organically and manufactured in organizations that need people to handle guns. If you are not careful I think you are going to talk past people from places where that code seems universal.

I.e. I can understand the perspective that not checking a gun you are handed is always gross negligence even though I have friends that I don't think would know that.
This reminds me; if I look at a red LED in the dark, my eyes seem to add a purple shape around it, kinda like an infinity symbol. Does this happen to anyone else?
If you're saying "I take full responsibility", I'd expect a meaningful consequence on your part, such as resigning, forgoing your bonus for the year or a significant pay cut. That's what's happening to the staff being laid off.

But because exec comp is mostly stock based, he's actually getting a massive pay increase.

I can agree with this, though I’m presumably (based on the language) earlier into my career. The deeply technical parts & the counter culture found in reversing forums & places like DEFCON are still thriving & always awesome.

However, it’s also full of bullshit & marketing that want to convince you that every little technical detail is a vector for a potential cyberattack! You don’t want to be the next business suffering from ransomware gangs, do you? Better purchase our advanced endpoint detection powered by AI/“Neural Networks”, and don’t forget your automated security scanning designed with ChatGPT and quantum encrypted database backups to stop the Chinese/Russian state actors/hackers in their tracks!
Those are the lucky ones. Others are just put on an ice floe.
I’ve run into this several times in my current role. The people who came before me fucked up command history really badly (they were trying to have per-user, per-connection logging, and didn’t know how to do that properly), so a good deal of commands used to spawn containers have been lost over here.

I agree you should never be in this situation (this place is an absolute nightmare), but here I am!
That's how I feel about a very similar situation.

A corollary I think for me was that for many of the same reasons I didn't recognize the problems -- or maybe because I didn't recognize the problems -- others really couldn't grasp the depths of them either. Sometimes I think other people are better at recognizing problems than you are if there's a bad situation, but sometimes (maybe more often than society realizes) I think people just tend to assume that their functional situation applies everywhere, and so interpret things through that lens. So if you complain about X, they tend to (subconsciously maybe even) think "oh they must have not really meant X, they must have meant less serious version of X".

About time... I don't know a single person that still uses it. I can't tell you how many times I got burned doing merges in Subversion where the entire repo became corrupt. Git was a life saver when it came out and I switched immediately over to it.
Right. `chalk.dim()` is probably not the best thing to use as an example for this.

But you can still think about this as merging in two additional pipes into the one you are processing. So 'node' and argsOutput are just very short pipes that you are merging into the flow of current one.

Btw... chalk API feels super weird.

Thanks for sharing.

In my 20s I had a boss who strung me along for 4 years.

It was a shitty little services agency building custom software.

He would say things like, "Oh, I know I need to get your pay up... just give me until next quarter, budgets are already set." And every time he had a little somewhat plausible excuse. "Oh, we didn't get all the new clients we had hoped..." (even though we got every client where I had been on the pitch) or, "Oh our revenues aren't up because projects you aren't on have taken a loss, can you cover more projects? I can't afford to have anyone else do them... if you save the day, I'll make sure we get your pay and bonus up to compensate."

And after 4 long years, where the last year was just him avoiding me, and where my Christmas bonus was literally a $25 iTunes gift card, when I was running projects worth like like 90% of the company revenue, I was like, "Y'know... I love my co-workers, I got to hire a lot of them, and that team meant a lot to me... but fuck my boss, he's a real twat." And I got an job that paid nearly 2x what I was making. And I helped the people I cared about find new jobs too.

And never looked back.

Lesson learned... Any time you have a boss who gives you a "slow no" you need to run. Don't walk, run away. That person is just using you.
Maybe OP is saying nobody important uses android
Isn’t risk avoidance social in nature when it’s dealing with people?

That's the thing: as written, the law puts everything short of "I was literally high at the time I took possession of the firearm" in the "this is legal" category.

This of course only pertains to federal law; states have their own laws, and said laws usually prohibit being armed while intoxicated - regardless of the legality of the intoxicating substance.

Officially you're supposed to download the book and then edit the exercise solutions into it with Emacs (or VSCode, I think), as you can then run the exercises to see if they type-check (i.e., if they're correct!). However, there's also a not-necessarily-up-to-date interactive in-browser version:
