This is true but understates the truth.

Alpha was the first non-x86 CPU of any kind that Linux supported.
> I'm white I'm male I have 0 advantages because of that. Always the same lies everywhere. I'm tired of it.

Even if it were true how would you know?
One of humanity's greatest achievements, built by unpaid volunteers - so yes, some might find it shocking that none of the money from the donations that Wikipedia asks for year after year goes to these volunteers, while quite a lot of it is spent on large salaries and even larger severance packages.
I think that they have to delete the data per your request to be GDPR compliant since no law requires keeping such date.
Re WGS there are a lot of well established tool chains that are FLOSS (eg https://github.com/bcbio/bcbio-nextgen). You could run alignment and variant calling on a beefy workstation. A laptop would potentially work. Easy to test this with publicly available raw data. Another option: The sequencing provider often will run alignment and some default variant calling for you. Annotating and analysing these variants can be done on pretty much any computer, all with open source software. A SNP chip is even easier to deal with as the computational requirements are less.

Interpreting the results is a more manual process. Really depends on what you are interested in.
I'm not white.

I don't believe that my "way of thinking" is meaningfully different from the way of thinking of a white person, language and cultural differences accounted for.

Actually, I firmly believe that implying that is profoundly racist. It's small wonder that I see most dangerously racist bullshit being parroted in progressive circles.
I am all for it, but china would consider this an attack on them an retaliate somehow (taxing european cars more for example). Just like the US government would intervene, if the fines would be actual existential for FB. Behind the scenes it is all politics.
That just tells me that the EU is requiring all storage and processing to be in the EU, for every profile that is friends with somebody in the EU. Otherwise they can’t store the fact that we are friends.
I'm aware. My primary email is 32 years old now, but I was online 6 years before that.
Just take a look at this graph. The salaries have been bloating whilst hosting expenses are flat and plummeting as a proportion of all expenses.

Net assets are sitting at ~$240M about 10x what they were a decade ago. Yet they roll out a sob-story banner on every page insinuating that they might cease to exist if you don't cough up.

It gives me an uneasy feeling that the ex-CEO went to work for a think tank. I hope they're politically neutral.

Obviously it's become a gravy train. At a certain point they should have stopped the begging because clearly they have the resources to run the site several times over.
Unit tests wouldn't help with that, because it doesn't cover the interaction of all the classes when they pass data on to each other; and they would probably take me months;

I would need integration tests, for which I first need to understand how the code works together
What made these decisions seems so poor? Is it a lack of thought about secondary, tertiary, n-ary effects?

I guess the easier access places are that and so BLM can give those out more quickly? That harder areas would require more work to prepare for construction?
That's why you should look into industrial stuff. Like 'Kerafol' and 'Keratherm'. Or the equivalent things from 3M. Do you really think industrial hardware suppliers would use the hyped scams catering to the same scene which enjoys blinky LEDs on their RAM with no function at all?

It isn't even more expensive. Just harder to get.

I sometimes think the enthusiast overclocker things are mostly the same stuff anyways, just split into smaller lots, with different labeling and packaging. And at least 10 to 20 times more expensive :-)
I built a game about being a manager at FAANG - https://devmanager.carrd.co/

I'm working as a manager and transitioned to this role for the same reason you mentioned. However, I had been talking to my LM for some time, and he found an opportunity for me.

Simplest way for you to get one more mentee and form a team of 3. The next step is to add one more person to the team. Once your current team lead receives a promotion, you will be next in line for their role. That's the path I'd follow.
The problem is everyone wants power but no one wants to live next to power generation.

Look at people complaining about offshore wind ruining their views (but attributing other "environmental concerns" as the real reason they are unhappy).

Arguably living next to solar/wind has to be better than living next to oil/coal/gas plants..
As a bare minimum security measure, when using plugins (all 9 of them), my Vim runs in a bubblewrap sandbox with only my project folder mounted as writable. Network and IPC access is completely disabled. It is secure enough to stop practically all non-targeted attacks.

Generally I try to install plugins whose authors I know. And whenever I update them (once a year) I re-read the entire source code. Some small plugins I just integrate in vimrc directly.

I hate to say this but Vim isn't the most secure editor, considering features like modelines which some environments enable by default and
an aggressive plugin installing culture.
My family raised sheep for like 10 years...
I agree that would be a tough business model. Even for a relatively small package set like VS Code plugins there must be many thousands of releases to check every year and the potential market of paying customers for the tool is limited. Maybe it could work if some of the tech giants sponsored it?

For the wider problem of depending on external packages and managers like pip or npm I don't see how anyone could realistically keep up with the scale of releases that would need to be checked. You would need far fewer packages from far fewer sources with far less frequent releases for this to be a viable strategy. That might be nicer for developers for other reasons as well but it's not the world we live in today.
That's wrong. A data center in the US can be forced to hand the data over to the government. And that's not the only protection you lose.

Perhaps I articulated incorrectly.

The bridge should have obviously existed (and should still exist for a very long foreseeable future if not forever). I was refering to having a benchmark with and without bridge and telling Swift is faster is a bit off, as that performance decrease was what Swift had to bring in the first place.
Fickle.

The man has been flirting with antisemitism and that was just last week (I'm not Jewish btw, so this isn't personal). I cite that as an example and not one of many reasons I have to despise the current incarnation of the man.

Just because NASA is his cash cow, doesn't mean they should trust him as far as they could throw him. Alternatives are required.

The man has done incredible things, supported by an incredible team, but looking on from the outside ... he's just one blood sugar spike from screwing the whole thing up.
The details vary but if you don’t earn much you usually qualify for additional cost-sharing reductions which cuts the costs of insurance plans under the ACA substantially.
If a product forces you to opt-out from telemetry, it makes sense that extensions would approach the problem the same way and force you to opt-out from each extension's telemetry.

I'm not saying that's good, just that it makes sense that whatever ecosystem/community spawns from your product, they adopt the same methodology as the main product uses.
Habitat destruction not withstanding, companies in the solar industry will gravitate towards highest margins. If we want to take on the hard task of building on many private properties, then we need an incentive to make up for the difference in profit. Perhaps aggressive tax credits such that consumers drive demand? Even with that, it seems hard to imagine rooftop solar competing with ground solar farms of scale.
After 20 opensource years of iText 1, iText 8 has just landed
Unless you work in a very complex technical domain with high profit margins. A bug in production can literally cost us billions (apart from potential reputation damage), the system is highly complex, so having 2 reviewers isn't a luxury for us but a necessity.
Yes! Sadly, today nobody seem to care about the principle of least privileges. Take Linux as an example: every program you install gets full access to the system, and gets thousands of privileges it doesn't need. If your PDF reader is vulnerable, it will have both access to your SSH keys and to the Internet to upload them (and if you block Internet access for a PDF reader, it still can send the data by connecting to systemd DNS resolver via DBUS and exporting your keys as DNS requests).

Security is a joke in Linux in default configuration.

> . It should be an obvious red flag if a [theming addon] were to ask for those dependencies

No. Theming addons should not even be able to ask for those privileges.
Has the AI revolution yet happened for anyone?
Seems like a common trend, pushing down true costs while pushing the difference up the management chain. (The trending growing chasm between wage growth and productivity seems apropos here.)
So Mastodon with Meta censorship.

They really hate boobs over at Meta.

Women show off their cameltoes and boobs, there's even hardcore porn that's not being removed despite being reported on Instagram.
But if you dare to post "Nice boobs" when the poster starts off to show her nice boobs, it's "harassment".
The Garmin watches have been replaced by newer versions with upgraded sensors. Garmin's tracking isn't perfect, but each version has made small improvements.
Myths about nuclear fusion 2023
Pairing is exhausting because it's intense.

Even a couple of hours of pairing per day is a huge team productivity boost though. Don't do it "all day every day".

It's OK to say "I'll go away for the afternoon to flesh out these tests as we have discussed".

I'll say that it's less about if the PR exists or not, but by the time it's raised it should be fine to merge it pretty much as soon as it's green, because people are on the same page before the code was even written.
Self-hosted + self-trained LLMs are probably the future for enterprise.

While consumers are happy to get their data mined to avoid paying, businesses are the opposite: willing to pay a lot to avoid feeding data to MSFT/GOOG/META.

They may give assurances on data protection (even here GitHub copilot TOS has sketchy language around saving down derived data), but can’t get around fundamental problem that their products need user interactions to work well.

So it seems with BigTechLLM there’s inherent tension between product competitiveness and data privacy, which makes them incompatible with enterprise.

Biz ideas along these lines:
- Help enterprises set up, train, maintain own customized LLMs
- Security, compliance, monitoring tools
- Help AI startups get compliant with enterprise security
- Fine tuning service
Another way to seek it is: $2 per EU citizen.
> [M]eta are relying on SCCs [...] which was recommended by the CJEU from the Schrems II case[.]

An unofficial summary[1] of Schrems II doesn’t put it quite like that: Schrems II invalidated Privacy Shield, did not invalidate SCCs in general, but said that the latter are only valid insofar as they can provide EU-mandated privacy protections given the legal regime of the destination country.

Arguably, because of the last point, a US company is incapable of entering a contract that provides such protections: they include judicial review of privacy violations, while US law says that noncitizens don’t have standing to sue over those for surveillance under the FISA mandate (expires this December but will probably be renewed).

Does something like this exist for local code repos? (Excuse my ignorance since the space is moving faster than light.)
Your perspective is the suffering though, unless I am missing something? The whole thing with trauma response and all the various things that come from that is that different things have different effects on different people, because their perspectives are different. The treatments that work (CBT, EMDR, etc) also rely on changing your perspective of the event or your response to it.
So if you tried to follow this as a chemist you would fail. This is an incredibly vague and useless summary. But to a lay person woooo chatgpt!!! Woooo chatgpt knows everything wooooo!!!

Here's the kicker... There's decades old software that solves this problem, and more, with 100% accuracy. People in industry use it a hundred times a day too. I'd vote on that before people start trying to make start ups that'd hurt people.
I have the complete opposite read of the situation to you. I have no beef with people getting treated well by any kind of organisation.
To be fair, salaries going up isn't necessarily a sign of them "bloating". I've worked for startups before at a reduced salary, with the expectation that as they become more stable they'll bump up the salary to a correct number.

In theory, people could have joined Wikimedia at a low salary while they were still struggling, and as they've become way more stable the salaries have gone up as a bit of a correction.

That said....1.5x your annual salary as severance sort of spits in the face of that bit of apologia.
This. I can't see any downside to digital hoarding. A couple of hard drives is not going to turn your house into a dump. They are very easy to search. It imposes very little on your relatives after you die. And as you say, things frequently disappear online. If you want to always have access to something it's worthwhile keeping your own unencrypted copy.
I'll take that any day over Jest's "we won't tell you how we do parallelism because no" and errors which don't reproduce with --runInBand that plagued just about every project I've been to using this framework.

Perhaps it's an Angular thing - I don't understand why people keep pushing this combination.
Better than free - it keeps the sun off the rooves and thus the homes and cars require less cooling. I installed solar last year, and have not turned on the air conditioning since. Amazing difference, and I imagine for parked cars the shade savings may be even more profound.
Let's hope you don't get the diagnosis in the afternoon then - the goodbyes might be a bit rushed otherwise
> Poverty, which the study defines as less than half the median U.S. income

This seems odd as poverty is a function of households, not individual income. Half the median for a single person is very different from half the media. For a single person with 9 kids. Or two people living together.

And why half the median? Why not first quartile or quintile?

This is pretty complicated to measure, so it seems unusual to not use Census’ Official Poverty Measure [0] that has many factors and is based on family size.

I would expect discussion around why they created their own measure and didn’t use Census.

We build an LMS, so the first thing we do is get them onboard using it. You only get one first impression, so it's normally really good to see and for them to feel the product as a new customer would. Take lots of notes, find the rough edges, things that hurt, and then typically pick one of them as the first week task.

Then it's getting the environment setup. Using lots of boring software means this is typically two docker-compose up's and done.

After that is the point you start to see what the candidate's really like we've found. Oftentimes they'll scan through previous commits, see how things are done. We'll set them running, lots of pair programming, for those first few days. An extensive testsuite/CD pipeline help here. The ideal is push to prod by the Friday. In an ideal world it's earlier, if not first day, but the reality is there's normally other business bits such as...

Because we're remote, we try and schedule a couple hour calls with different folks in different roles. We're a small company so it's much more about people then processes without falling into folksy management talk.

Biggest thing is just letting them get a feel for the codebase, people, practices, trade-offs between speed and correctness etc. Everyone's unique.
Cable internet is the worst one I've had; DSL, FTTx, Ethernet, all have worked better for me than cable. One big problem is that the DOCSIS spec is region specific (EuroDOCSIS vs US) and the vendor interoperability is poor, so buying your own modem is impractical in many cases. And then you have stuff like some chipsets (hello Intel Puma) being just broken and still remain in the market.

Yeah, I've never understood how people can find dynamic typing "simple and easy to use", types are wonderful for catching errors and documenting the code and makes refactoring much easier - I even avoid auto/var/type interference as much as possible because I like seeing what types things are.
Telegram seems like the logical choice. It has everything WhatsApp does and more.
> Where data is processed should not affect the care with which it is processed.

But I think you're pretty clear on the fact that it does. We live in a non-abstracted world of atoms.
Not only are the products confusing (which one does what parent mentioned?) but that pricing is out of reach for so many I'm wondering if the company is actually real or not?

How exactly does Wikipedia make its money? Is it exclusively through donors? If so, who are the top donors?
It probably was the phone OS shipping with malware, but there is a different route that effects all phones, including iOS.

It's happens the authors loose interest in maintaining their apps. Malware authors then purchase their developer keys, issue an update (but change nothing else), and you find yourself being woken up at 2AM in the morning by some screeching Casino ad. Or at least that's what my wifes phone did to her, and of course it was immediately my problem.

I don't know if Android has an Update History for apps now, but back then it didn't. You don't know what app it is, because all the normal functional is untouched so it works as before. In my case there were two of them - which was worse because my technique was to uninstall one by one, then re-install if the problem continued. After a week or two of experimenting I found the right combination of apps to uninstall and my nights became peaceful again.

The Play store cleaned them out after a while of course, but it was painful at the time.
I do not understand if or how the physical location of the servers matters.

As I remember, the EU-US data sharing agreement was killed (Schrems II) because of the US CLOUD Act, which infamously doesn't care where the data is stored - as long as the company is under US jurisdiction, it has to let the government snoop at will.

So, it seems to me that Facebook putting data on EU servers wouldn't matter? A three-letter agency could still go to their SV office and legally demand "give me an API key to query through your Irish datacentre and don't tell anyone". To protect EU citizens from that, the Facebook servers in the EU should treat non-EU FB servers exactly like third parties, using OAuth or similar restricted access protocols.
Sure, but let's also add a reminder that the point of the fine isn't to torture or kill the company - it's to incentivize it to comply with the law.

Whatever ills people may ascribe to Meta, EU DPAs aren't in the business of social activism, or taking their annoyance out on multinational corporations. The job is to get Meta to comply with GDPR. If that fine will do the trick, mission accomplished. If it won't, the next one will be bigger, and then fining will continue until compliance improves.

(There's a sub-story here about Irish DPC, but that's orthogonal to the size of GDPR fines issued.)
Do you currently have a manager? Trying discussing this with your manager; perhaps you can work out a plan which can get you the experience needed to transition into a new management role. Your company may have a definition and data that they use when hiring a new manager; which would mean you have resources to understand what is expected of a manager and then determine what areas you have covered and what areas you need to develop.

Do/have you lead a tech team already (officially or not) at least as technical leader? Do/have you lead large architectural projects with many devs?
Strangely you become more risk averse and stuck in your little loops as you get older and the routines you have become fine, good even.
I have no knowledge about Nigeria, so I'll defer to your superior knowledge of their corruption.

I suggest you look up the IMF's track record. India had to use the IMF in the early 90s due to decades of "socialism."

We are long past that point, forex reserves were close to USD 600 billion last time I checked.

So there's no question of "cope."
>politically neutral

What does politically neutral mean?
The core of the issue is the CLOUD Act, which was passed very recently -specifically to force US tech companies to comply with subpoenas on data stored in the EU. This is basically the Hague Invasion Act[0] for data privacy. It commandeers nominally private US tech companies into arms of US law enforcement for crimes committed in EU territory.

The non-US citizens thing is a related issue[1], but it's not what started this current row of GDPR export lawsuits. However, I don't see the EU courts letting this go until and unless the US and friends drop the whole "noncitizens don't have rights" shenaniganery.

[1] Five Eyes - effectively the Anglosphere's spymasters - realized that if you say "only citizens are protected by privacy law", then nobody is protected by privacy law, because you can hire your allies to infringe upon your own citizens' privacy.
It would be good if VSCode asked you which permissions a plugin should have. E.g. a lot of plugins shouldn't be talking to the internet, writing to disk or similar in the first place. And if they do you should be able to whitelist what they're allowed to access.
Plenty of popular developer-friendly tools have installation instructions that involve sudo, curl and piping to sh. That says everything we need to know. But if it didn't then the way many developers will casually install packages from untrusted third parties when the installation scripts themselves could do almost anything says the rest.

In addition developer PCs often have more privileges than a typical office worker. That's legitimately useful for our work but also means compromising a developer machine is a bigger risk. We're a nightmare for any organisation that wants proper IT security.
I am SO glad I was not taking a sip of my very hot coffee when I read this.
At least there is practiced, hardened and battle-tested tools that are relatively straight-forward to use in Linux-land, like AppArmor.

MacOS also recently started investing more into securing the desktops of developers.

Windows seems shit out of luck in that regards.
