Android had their own best practices. Designers would often be in the Apple ecosystem and design Android things around iPhone best practices.

So you'd get Android design as some kind of hybrid.

There used to be something called an up button on Android. It was the arrow on the top left. It would jump up a category, so if you were browsing deep into a bunch of games, it would jump you up into the games category, instead of you having to press back 40 times.

But designers saw top left back arrow as a back button because who design it don't use it. Why would you have two back buttons? Why even make a back button so far from your thumb?

The Google apps actually follow Android best practices.

This isn't always good. There's a new trend towards accessibility, which ends up being a flex of designers putting gray on gray and still pass accessibility guidelines.
> The police are average people too.

Let's assume you are right, and just presume that a police officer is as useless in an emergency response scenario as your average Joe.

Police officers are a part of a regional- and state-wide organization dedicated to respond to emergencies, collect and process information from multiple sources including direct presence in critical areas, and coordinate the efforts of all members. All members, including your hypothetical police officer.

Do you really think that your personal ignorance and lack of insight and context and situational awareness is no better than that of the police officer who is integrated in that state-wide organization dedicated to act during these events?

Industrial levels of arrogance and presumption are required to think the average Joe knows best on how to act during an emergency than emergency responders on the ground.
there are things that happen in one's life that dramatically impact the rest of one's life from that point forward. when i was in school looking at college, i very nearly became a submariner. as it happens, i was third in the list, but they only took the top two. at the time, it was devastatingly disappointing. these oh so many years later with hindsight and all that, i'm no longer disappointed. i can't see how the divergence in lifestyles could not be any wider. i do still love to read some Tom Clancy and similar Navy scifi
Is Trail of Bits doing random checks on your running infrastucture to verify that you are not changing your software against your users?

No. That is not what security audits are. Security audits ensure that software does safely what you, as service orderer claim, in a single moment. Usually including checklist.

But they cannot guarantee that you don’t change software between audits.

That is why E2EE exists as then it does not matter and we don’t need to trust.

Open-source, security audited client for E2EE communication with reproducible builds is the magical, correct combination to ensure both security and privacy.
Customer support. I've never seen so many people get up to speed so fast on something. It's unlike anything ever.

Yep.

I believe so.

I don't believe Pat.

With the relevant audience, Nvidia is the brand which is the strongest. Google could just drop support for TPU, AMD isn't viewed as currently credible for people doing the work, nor Intel.

You may be right, only time will tell. I've been involved with GPU use for general purpose workloads since Cuda was launched. At every step of the way there was apparently credible competition at different layers of the stack just around the corner. That's over 15 years. OpenCL, ASICs, FPGA, Intel this that and the other, AMD this that and the other. TPU. Others I've forgotten.
The irony is that the rich men north of Richmond are all republicans.

> They didn't "just" send a PR or "just" write some code, they made a financial tool which earned them millions while ignoring regulations for these type of financial tools. No one who sent a PR was arrested or even investigated: just the people running Tornado. This has been pointed out time and time again.

Since TC is still running with both guys in jail, they clearly weren't "running it" - but the Ethereum node operators are. Should they be arrested? Are you answering this question as a laywer, or as citizen engaged in the democratic process telling me what you feel the law should be?
They probably do have access to that in some circumstances, but then you can start plying them about other benefits. Just because two jobs pay the same doesn’t mean I value them the same.

I totally see your point, but fast food is probably not the best choice. Every fast food CEO makes a point about how often they eat the food and how often their execs eat it.

Every fast food company has a "flagship" store near the HQ, often for the purpose of being seen eating there.

You can google around for the stories and photo ops. :)

But yes, not every CEO believes their product should be used all the time. But most of them at least believe in the core benefit they claim their product provides.
It was a 2015 model, so this is plausible, unlike all of the sibling comments telling me it must have overheated in transport without me noticing.

> You wouldn't distribute a C application without a Makefile

And yet, SQLite does just that. They distribute as a single .c file. I wrote a moderately successful lcov replacement in python that I distribute as a single .py file so people can directly run it without needing pip (if desired). There's a time and a place for needing build systems, but as a minimalist I default to vanilla + no build system and that serves me very well the vast majority of the time.

> and you shouldn't distribute or deploy a frontend application without the equivalent dependency management and build orchestration

Why not? That's the other thing. What are all these dependencies you are talking about that need "managing"? Most web apps I've written have needed 1 dependency (bootstrap CSS). Maybe PIXI or ThreeJS if making something graphical. Include it in the html, boom done, no npm needed.

Take a look at this guy's blog and tell me that he needs to abandon vanilla and start using a frontend build system: https://ciechanow.ski/gps/

Online coding tests (I refuse to do them now, though I'll happily provide samples of my source code):

- You never know how it's going to be judged (style, efficiency, error handling, abstraction, thread-safety, type-safety, commenting, etc).

- You're given a very short time-limit, but well-designed, maintainable software is almost never written like that.

- etc., etc.
No they have not. There is the odd book and author that are quality but it seems to be the exception. You can almost always guarantee:

The formatting is atrocious. You will regularly get blurry and illegible images for things like terminal screen shots or else just regular text on a white page that is supposed to be terminal output.

Books often to appear to have not been proof read.

There are regularly pages that have one or two sentences on them. Presumably this is done in order to pad the book length.

As a company they are pure garbage. There is probably no way any independent publisher can put out that volume of books and maintain any level of quality. I believe their business model is simply to flood search results with their titles. In a given year they will put many titles on the exact same subject or tech stack.

> You argument is essentially hanging on the assertion that the first number an employer would offer is also the maximum number it could offer.

Not at all. You should expect to negotiate once they have made an offer. But your negotiating position will be better if you don't give a number first.

> in reality the hiring manager had the range like 200-250 and you asked for 210. Why would he bother to try to push you down to 200?

Because you've now anchored the negotiation at 210 as the max, and he's going to try to get you for less because this is business. He's not going to just take your first number any more than you would just accept his first offer.

Whereas if you hadn't anchored the negotiation there wouldn't be a ceiling at 210.

> On the other hand, why would he offer anything other than 200 if you did not ask?

He might not. But if he offers 200 and you have not given any number at all, you can negotiate and possibly get more than 210. Whereas if you'd given 210 first you would never get more.

Most of 'em.

The main exceptions will be programming books which focus on versions of programming languages which have gone though extreme changes between released versions. Like (say) GTK+, Visual Studio, etc

But 40-year old books on C, COBOL, and Pascal will be very useful, likewise books on algorithms like (say) Binary Trees, etc.

The Monk Who Thinks the World Is Ending
Russian weapons taking down civilian aircraft all the time V.S. Western weapons not doing this despite its much widespread use(check out the number of US bases) can be an indication of weapon design issues or limitations.

It's not true that AUI752 or MH17 was done by choice, it's very unlikely that those who destroyed these planes wanted to kill bunch of civilians in a very high profile fashion to spice up their already precarious situations.

It's probably not the case with the Wagner situation because there's a motive and symbolism but I also wouldn't omit the possibility of it being a "happy accident" for Putin. An oopsie by overly alert operator expecting yet another drone attack.

>> why would a software dev have a portfolio?

> For the same reason artists do

They're asking more how it would happen, less for what purpose.

Artists automatically accumulate portfolios by doing work that gets displayed in public. Programmers who work on closed-source programs don't—unless they supplement their work-for-pay in ways that artists aren't expected to. The artist's history of work itself is how they get more work; the programmer's isn't.
As an urban beekeeper I find this argument a bit odd and not matching my experience. I'm not trying to optimize for growth rate or monocrop pollination and frankly find that the hives grow quite fast and can swarm multiple times per season (late spring early summer). However, they seem to swarm most WHEN they start being stressed by varroa! I haven't seen a clean hive go a year without developing varroa so it's endemic in my area.

I treat the hives once a year (after honey harvest) to protect other native pollinators. It's easy to know when mites boom just by looking at viral infection effects (deformed wings etc). That starts in mid-early summer (not when most people would be treating with insecticide) and builds into fall. Yes, I can count mites on sticky paper, but once you get to know the hive cycle for an area it's rarely necessary. My queens/drones mate with the local population, but I don't see significant queen/brood changes in them so they're as "natural" as a european honey bee is in the US.

I prefer to alternate Apiguard ("natural" thymol) and Apivar (miticide) to minimize tolerance effects and they both work quite well (100x reduction). However, going a year without mite treatment is often a death sentence for the winter hive, and I haven't had a hive fail since I started annually treating. Winters are mild and there's barely a month without pollen so there's really no reason for a healthy hive to fail. When untreated hives do survive they are very weak going into spring and have huge mite load in summer.
Is there any crowdsourced effort we can join to somehow help break Denuvo?
> Is having a program superglued to an outdated library with known (and fixed already) bugs really what you want?

It is not superglued. If you want to update dependencies, just remove the lockfile and reinstall everything. The main reason people do this is because just updating a library without the program knowing by not specifying the exact version leads to behaviour silently changing, which is terrible (especially on CI!)
That's a fair point. This happened to all be in an area of the law, estate law, which was heavily documented for the public in that jurisdiction.

The estate was tiny, and the actual legal advice was locked behind a paywall ($7k minimum in legal fees) which would have otherwise taken the majority of the estate.

Still a huge win for $20/month.
And arguable their bet on CPU tech worked! AMD is in a much better position today than they were 5+ years ago. They have some catching up to do but that doesn't mean their completely out of the game.
> You mention children being off limits. In other societies homosexuality is still criminal. Even where it is legal many consider it "off limits" or "disgusting". Laws, and emotions, in this space are not always logical.

In fact in a lot of those countries where fully consensual homosexuality is highly illegal, marrying (with all its implications) what we would consider a child is legal and "normal" and so is forced/arranged marriage (again with all that implies). I'm really lucky to have grown up here.

The other issue you run into is cost of getting to competing offers. In your example, you can just ask a dealer for a quote and they'll give it to you, with little to no work on your part. In tech, you have to go through multiple hours of interviews to get this information.

It's no wonder that people are resistant to go interview. Especially when you can get most of this information much more easily through levels.fyi.

Really? So are you saying that the judge in the Epic case about the App Store should have taken into account a completely unrelated case just because it involved Apple? To what end?
True, but I think the "continous deathmarch treadmill" is the real problem, well above any license changes.
They're not "of course completely free todo this" unless they have permission or copyright transfer from every single contributor. They don't solely own full copyright to the combined product, they have been licensed these contributions under GPL, if they want to distribute the combined product (their own code + contributions) they either have to follow the licence conditions or it's a copyright violation.

Years ago I did a bit of speleology so I'm not afraid of confined spaces but as a male I'd be scared to spend time on a submarine in cramped conditions and in mixed company. I reckon I'd be under constant stress in case I accidentally said something out of place unlike in all-male work environments I've worked in the past where banter and certain types of comment pass without thought.

The nature and politics of the times has to make this such a volatile work environment especially when one can't 'go home' during off hours.

I've also worked in mixed company. Decades ago, I worked in a somewhat crowded building of some hundreds of people. My office was small and in an isolated part of the building and I shared it with three young attractive women who were part of my staff. Whilst I also had male staff they worked in other sections of the building.

Working with these women in close quarters was very different to working in an all-male environment which I had been used to previously. I enjoyed their company and we got along well together, and I was always well behaved and there were no complaints about my behavior. In fact, as their superior, they'd gang up and bully me—they ruled the office, not me.

Times have changed, there's absolutely no way I would accept working in that situation today as it'd be just too risky. Similarly, I wouldn't expect my employer to allow me to work for eight hours per day under such risky conditions.

Sure, women have rights to equality and I'd never deny them that right, but it seems to me that mixed company on a submarine is an 'explosive' environment and it's inevitable there will be trouble. (A group of males locked up and isolated without sex for three months but still in the tempting presence of women isn't natural.)

One has to feel some sympathy for all of those submariners.
> What does "leaving a jurisdiction" mean? Can Tornado Cash "leave the US jurisdiction" as well and will then be left alone?

You can - by not being inside the US, doing proper KYC and rejecting US customers.
What progressives get wrong when it comes to crypto
I think some, maybe all, US validators are refusing to include Tornado transactions in their blocks. But unless all validators do it, that just increases the latency.

They could go after people for accepting and building on top of other people's blocks with such transactions in them. But I suspect they'd prefer not to have to do that, because the more rarefied the "interactions" they try to enforce against, the more chance they have of courts telling them they're beyond their statutory authority, or conceivably even of authority they actually do have getting repealed.

I haven't looked into it in any detail, but I suspect their authority for the Tornado sanctions is actually pretty shaky. They can sanction any entity, but it's not clear, to me at least, that a smart contract is an "entity" in the sense intended by the legislation they're presently relying on for all of this. That means that after all the lawsuits shake out, they may have to ask for new legislation to give them authority. I suspect they'd eventually get that authority, but it's harder to sell it to legislators if anybody can say you've been overreaching.

Clarification on edit: Their authority for the sanctions against interacting with the smart contracts looks weak. I don't know about the company or the people; those may be fully within their authority, depending on what they were actually doing. But the smart contracts are the heart of the whole thing. And OFAC seems to be trying its best to muddy the distinction.

1978 is not the publish date of the thesis. The examples (Firefox, JDK 5, OpenSSL 0.9.7) should give away that it's newer, and also the most recent citation is from 2006. I'm not sure why the title page has a 1978 as I can't read Dutch. Google Translate indicates it might be a date of birth of the author, but that's a weird thing for the title page.

> Leverage is what someone else believes you're interested in.

If you're good enough at dissimulation to make a recruiter (who has a lot more experience at this than you do) believe you're interested in another offer when you're actually not, you probably don't need any of the advice in either the article or this discussion thread.

But if you're not that good at dissimulation, attempting it is shooting yourself in the foot. You're much better off being honest and only talking about other offers you have if you actually are interested in them.

> In the US many jobs post a salary range, which can be not accurate or updated and apply to several levels of roles, "based on your experience" which puts you back at the negotiation table.

Yes, posted salary ranges should not be taken as absolute. But they give you an idea of whether a company is worth your time to look at.

> I've always found it odd american culture does not always embrace negotiating despite many of our core actions being based on it.

I don't think it's "American culture" in general that doesn't embrace negotiating. It's more a certain segment of American middle class culture. I agree that it's both odd and a disadvantage to those who grow up in that culture.
