Gonna have to disagree with you. Most projects I interact act with are either on IRC or Matrix, or solely communicate through some type of git web instance.

Discord is actively hostile to users by randomly banning and/or phone-walling users, especially any browser or connection that cannot be fingerprinted well enough, and giving them no recourse at all, just saying "yep our automated system is working, bye". There's so many more awful things they do, just search this site to find lots more.
Again, trying to normalize on what things look like when shot with a 35mm sensor is irrelevant. If you have two camera phones with similar sized sensors and focal lengths, an f1.5 lens is almost a full stop faster than an f2 lens. Yes, the resultant SNR is worse on a small sensor but fstops are a ratio of focal length to aperture size not a measure of DOF or SNR. The f1.5 lens will have narrower DOF and let in more light. F1.5 is an accurate way of marketing the lens.

Like I said before, trying to normalize different aspects of images and the resultant quality by trying to make f-stops something they aren't only confuses and obscures what is actually happening and prevents sensible discussions of camera systems.

The 35mm equivalent focal length is used just to give an idea about FOV. I wish they would just give us the angle of view in degrees instead. Then maybe people would stop trying to mangle what fstops means in regards to DOF, the amount of light the sensor sees, SNR etc. Compare similar sensor systems, stop trying to cram one into the other.
Yes, exactly right re: tinkering I think. Exploring adjacent areas to work or entirely new areas slowly with a beginner’s mind aimed at carefully understanding and appreciating building blocks.

Carmack's ideas did a lot for my code. He has good insights around what to take from different problem domains in order to get a result that gets right to the point and solves a specific category of error. You should never settle for "squishy" code that looks pretty just because: the code must do this, it cannot do that. Write it at the top of the function, and the best code will just go right to the goal without grabbing on to any boilerplate.

That's something I was really missing in my earlier programming years, when all I saw were Java, Python and Ruby bloggers regurgitating OOP and Agile terms and I would try out their idea, marvel at the visible complexity of the abstraction, but then see it fail in a practical scenario. WTF.

Yes. My biggest frustration with c++ as a language is that there are often two ways to do things: the right way, and the way you will find in tutorials and codebases because the right way didn't exist yet when they were written. This means the cognitive load to use the language in any context that isn't "greenfield project with experts" is significant relative to other languages.

From the talk page of George Galloway: " Currently the article stands as a detailed report of every accusation upon the person.

It was more than money. Back then the crazy Faang pay bump was less of a thing. But the chance to be trusted with broad autonomy and work with brilliant people on projects that could help billions of people is something very special.

> It is true that states are banning this kind of care for minors, but consent around minors is pretty tricky, and some people like to ignore the nuances for simple soundbites.

There's not any nuance to it, they're straight up taking consent away from kids. The kid knows and consents to it, there's doctors and therapists and medical staff willing to help, and parents (though they shouldn't matter either way) are often glad to sign off on it too. The only entity not "consenting" is the state, and it's none of its business in the first place. Taking away someone's right to say "yes" is just as bad as taking away their "no." I have friends who would have made it to 18 if they couldn't transition.

Copyright trolls not being able to upload chunks seems like a myth along the lines of "if you ask a cop if they're a cop, they have to say yes". It's easy enough to create a separate legal entity that doesn't have any rights to distribute a work, and then sign an indemnification agreement for any copyright violation that happens in the course of investigation. And if you wanted to be real paranoid, mod the client to never transmit say 20% of chunks, so even if some court finds that participating in a swarm at the behest of a copyright holder is constructive distribution, that last 20% is still actionable.
They have money, expertise, and nothing better to spend it on, so I say let them try to make it happen.
It seems like some folks are missing the motivation for DNSSec and suggesting TLS instead. If your threat model includes global adversaries, you have can't rely on TLS because governments can trivially compromise TLS providers and TLS exposes users to the lowest common denominator TLS. The lowest common denominator TLS (ACME DNS-1) and the mitigation to the TLS provider problem (CAA records) are both based on DNS.

So you either accept that TLS is the global maxima for security and world governments can basically permanently compromise the internet, or you build private PKI systems, or you want something like DNSSec. And DNSSec is something like DNSSec.

problems i faced working with consulting company in india

1. high turnover , you never know who exactly is working on feature at any given point. They even had just one git userid that they all shared ( consultincompany@mycompany.com), which was bit ridiculous.

2. I saw some of their employees be on-call in meetings with multiple clients .

3. Super slow responses via email. You finally just give up and resign to your fate.

4. Developers just dont care about quality, not because they not competent but because of apathy. They just don't give shit.

5. language and cultural barriers. I got pretty good at indian accents but once in a while someone would totally throw me off. I would feel embarrassed to ask them to repeat themselves repeatedly.

By passing it faked hardware. Yes, you have to write your APIs so they are testable. Yes, it is virtually impossible to retrofit unit tests into an old, large code base that was written without regard to testability.

Not necessarily; teaching some things earlier could make other things easier to understand.

I'm not familiar with how it used to be, but Drupal does have a security advisory process[1] for contributed modules. I don't know, but I'd imagine having moved the contrib ecosystem to Gitlab, and composer-based dependency management, has made some dimensions of security auditing easier to do at scale. I'd say it's still true that you can't easily stay 100% within that security advisory umbrella.

> Making minimum wage at 55

30+ years seems like enough time to pick up some skills to earn above minimum wage

> Not saving anything your entire life

This one is debatable, but at some point you have to learn enough life lessons to understand that retirement is going to _suck_ if you don't save anything. Most people manage to learn this before ~40 y.o

> I’m only 69, mobile and otherwise healthy. But what will happen as I get older and need care?

Same thing that happens to all of us. We get sicker and more frail and eventually die. Billions will die in less privileged conditions than receiving $2900/month and living in a country that has free healthcare.

I don't say this lightly, but my dad worked just as hard, probably several times harder and his living conditions aren't anywhere as good as these. It's just that the country he retired in is much more poor. But luckily I can help him, because I have no plans to make minimum wage at 55.

The best way to create an environment that is actually unwelcoming is to openly invite people who don't care about others.
I honestly feel for this person, but the pragmatist in me kind of thinks of this as the expected outcome. You have a person that sounds like they never pursued a career/ was working minimum wage jobs their whole life, never planned for their retirement, decided to live in a relatively high cost area, has health conditions, and their partner seems to make below minimum wage - isn't a subsistence situation sort of to be expected?

Not from a modern developer. You need to jump down the rabbit hole of the history of solid and proven solutions.

Indeed. I've noticed an increasing number of people who call themselves "developers" and appear to create software, but all they can do is follow step-by-step tutorials to glue together some massively bloated thing that they have absolutely no understanding of, much less the skills to debug it when something doesn't work perfectly as expected.

Yea, I've always found even the more progressive legal systems to be such that they're often, reasonably, less loose than most progressive cultures. I was discussing this with folks recently about Canada's proposed asylum class for trans/nonbinary folks.

There's obviously folks who neatly fall into either category, just like how three people who live together and have a communal sexual relationship could be neatly considered to be "married" to each other in a legal sense. It all gets more complicated on the edges though. How not-commited to your assigned-at-birth gender do you have to be to count as nonbinary in a legal sense? If I live with one person in a committed relationship, but also have a relationship with 4 other people I don't live with, how often do I have to see them before they have a claim on me? It only gets more complex when you consider asexual people, who may have many close emotional relationships with no real strong "ranking" or "best friend" or "partner".

It's much easier to just "do the reasonable thing" when it's your friends and there's only a few and much harder when it's the government having to intermediate a divorce, or child custody, or the option to have your partner immigrate.

Edit: part of the article hints at the answer, "when Tenzing Norkay, or Tenzing Norkay Sherpa, came to Darjeeling in 1933, he was treading a well-worn path. This is the way he has decided to spell his name—he now has business cards—but a European anthropologist who knows Tibetan says that “Tenzin Norgya” would be a better phonetic rendering, and that an accurate transliteration would be “bsTan-aDzin Nor-rGyas,” the capital letters representing the stresses."

Sensor speed is a completely irrelevant spec when it comes to maximum f-stop of a lens. The f-stop is a physical ratio. People that try to make "equivalent" f-stops do so by throwing out what it actually means in order to gauge some arbitrary level of performance of a format that fewer and fewer people know anything about.

All of this nonsense started with digital photography. There was close to a century of shooting with different formats and lenses without ever trying to twist what an f-stop meant. Open up an ASC handbook and you'll find DOF charts for different formats and lenses but no talk of equivalent anything.

I want to know the actual specs of a lens, that is how you can compare with similar systems. I wish Apple would drop the now irrelevant references to 35mm. I also wish people would stop confusing a physical measurement with a quality target. To reiterate, I find the concept of equivalent f-stops to be nonsensical and think they only confuse the issue.
The problem with abstractions (in code) is in their purpose - "Hide the details". You can create an abstraction that hide the details really well but this also means that it makes it really hard/convoluted to find the details when required. Also, usually you don't have just one abstraction, instead you have layers of abstractions and that makes things more complicated.
