That would be the only situation in which I'd even consider them part of compensation. If I can't use it to pay my rent now, it might as well not exist, given the likelihood I'd never be able to realize them anyway.
I stopped reading when it got all shouty, and a quick scan doesn't show whether it's got actual sample code.

It's also been a long while since I wrote any C# for real, and even longer since I had to deal with .NET's XmlSerializer.

It used to be a pain in the backside to deal with XML in .NET if you wanted to just deserialise a file to an object. You'd need to mark up the class with attributes and stuff.

I remember being very happy when JSON.NET came out and we could just point at just about any standard object and JSON.NET would figure it out without any extra attributes.

I'm not sure if XmlSerializer ever caught up in that regard.

Also, without seeing the code and where else it might be deployed it's not easy to know whether this is a case of over-engineering.

This same code might be deployed to a phone, webserver, lambda, whatever - so having an IConfigFileLoader might make 100% sense if you need to have another implementation that'll load from some other source.
Something like this https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/040_backup.html#incl... is missing. Or let's say something like Borg's PATH arg.

That's all far-future stuff that will let us continue to grow towards our larger ambitions further down the roadmap with a revenue stream that isn't purely dependent upon donations, which isn't sustainable on its own. It will always be a purely separate value-add that's not shoved down the throat of users— a subset of users will find that helpful and pay for the storage and most users won't care and won't be bothered about it. But we don't have any of that yet, and won't for a while.
My strategy is to use a few alias for sources with spam risk like forum, sign up on “free” offers etc., some for newsletters. When I’m suspicious but not sure, I quickly add the +. Only for very few official transactions, I would use my real addresses.
In general, Gmail deals very well with spammers. For the rest, when an alias is spoiled, I simply discard it and create a new one.
Some idiomatic C code to copy a string (I'm not saying this is good C code, but it's just an example):

while(*d++ = *s++)
;

On the Motorola 68000 (based somewhat on the PDP-11) the code would look like:

loop: move.b (a0)+,d0
move.b d0,(a1)+
bne loop

while on the x86 line, it would be:

loop: mov al,[rsi]
mov [rdi],al
inc rsi ; extra instruction!
inc rdi ; extra instruction!
cmp al,0
jne loop

Yes, there are better ways to write that code for both the 68K and x86, but I hope this gets the point across.

Of course, every seat on an airplane back in the 'glamour days' cost probably more (adjusted for inflation/wages) than a business class ticket costs today. The experience on many airlines (internationally at least) is just as glamorous or even more so if you pay a similar amount!

What actually happened is that a much cheaper, bare-bones product made flying available to much more of the population.

Folks, Google just saved Mozilla. For nearly two decades, Google dumped limitless resources into Chrome and gave it all away to gain maximal adoption. That would be considered anti-competitive behavior in any other context. By acting more competitively, Google is giving the competition an opportunity to finally compete. Firefox was so close to hitting that red line in terms of market share. Now Firefox is going to not only survive, but thrive, and so will other newer browsers like Brave and Ladybird too.

I'm a an operator myself. To be honest: Ham radio - in my opinion - is slowly dying.

At some point there was a split between the ham radio and opensource scene. There are still some connections, but the majority is gone. It's IMHO pretty much a question of mentality ("No license? Underling").

A lot of software/hardware there isn't opensource but badly written shareware and the entire thing seems to be stuck in the past. Have a look at this VARA stuff.. that list endlessy can be continued.

What alternatives are there to owning a home or renting one from someone who owns it?

All you can do is economize on how much home you use, and where it is (where fewer people want to be), which we have seen happen over the past 2-3 decades. So I think we are feeling the pressure of this wealth tax, along with inflation, global competition, and other factors in the real estate market.

Continuing to use a memory-unsafe language that has no recourse for safety and is full of footguns and is frankly irresponsible for the software profession. God help us all.

By the way, the US government did the profession no favors by including C++ as a memory-unsafe language. It is possible to write memory-safe C++, safe array dereferencing C++. But it’s not obvious how to do it. Herb Sutter is working on it with CppFront. The point stands that C++ can be memory-safe code. If you make a mistake, you might write some unsafe code in C++. But you can fix that mistake and learn to avoid it.

When you write C, you are in the bad luck shitter. You have no choice. You will write memory—unsafe code and hope you don’t fuck it up. You will hope that a refactor of your code doesn’t fuck it up.

Ah, C, so simple! You, only you, are responsible for handling memory safely. Don’t fuck it up, cadet. (Don’t leave it all to computers like a C++ developer would.)

Put C in the bin, where it belongs.

“it’s the Google ball on the taskbar and when you click it, the internet comes up” — is the argument to use Chrome that many people will go with.

Maybe a giant internet tech company won’t abuse you like it abuses people who don’t know much about computers, but big chemical industry may abuse you and kill you early through environmental pollution.

We must recognise that there are many people vulnerable to different kinds of abuse through destructive business practices in pursuit of growth (“rot capitalism”). And if we don’t have a culture of protecting the most vulnerable, someone won’t protect you in areas of your vulnerability.

Active C# dev here, but I haven’t read the article.

For configuration these days XML is generally not used, they have a configuration system which can use a variety of underlying sources (like environment variables and JSON files) and you can either access these settings by key from a dictionary or trivially hydrate a plain old C# classes, including with collections.

People may still manually read their own configuration independent of this system or perhaps they’re just generally deserialising XML.

There are (I think) at least a few ways to work with XML in .NET.

For well known schemas I definitely generally recommend the C# class approach where you somewhat simply deserialize a file into well typed C# classes.

From your question it sounds like the XML API which allows you to arbitrarily query or manipulate XML directly was used here. I have on occasion used this when I don’t have the full schema for the XML available and need to tweak a single element or search for something with XQuery. It’s a useful tool for some scenarios, but a poor choice for others.

An alternate setup is LTE smartwatch, tws and foldable phones. You can do almost all dumbphone tasks and some more from the watch. It can be relatively distraction free, and you can leave phone at home for swimming/jogging/workouts. Foldable will give you decent camera and tablet when you need it and can be kept in bag or far enough.
demographic differences of all kinds:

- greater usage of surgeries and prescriptions, leading to greater exposure to medical malpractice (the 3rd leading cause of death in the US.)

- higher birthrate. more pregnancies.

- less cultural tolerance of abortion. Greater willingness to take on risky pregnancies

- single parent homes (people with less family support)

- ethnicities which are more susceptible to certain disease and lifestyle risks

- greater exposure to crime in impoverished areas

- more life time spent traveling in cars

- more restricted access to health insurance (as you said only accessing healthcare in dire emergency)

The US is a different world than most countries which tend to be geographically tight and culturally homogenous. It's very difficult to make comparisons, not to mention differences in data collection and reporting ethics.

> Landing a rocket propulsively was also known to be an "impossible" engineering challenge that was first demonstrated in the 1990's (with too low reliability).

You know, it's possible to write an article and filter out the useless complaints instead of throwing anything that supports your point at it. It's a system prompt for heaven's sake.

It's not terrible, but over half of the article being employees complaining about it is certainly a choice.
How does ham compare to meshtastic in a real emergency? Meshtastic has the advantage that it's license free and you don't have to try to convince people to spend days studying for it.

I have a license and a baofeng, but I don't know much of anything practical about emergency communications.
I do, but there's nothing too obscure in it. Efficient prime number sieve, prime factorization using trial division, generating list of divisors from the prime factorization, modular inverse via Euclidean algorithm, Chinese Remainder Theorem.

I also have some stand-alone modules, one to solve generalized Pell equations, another to find a polynomial given a sequence via the differences (e.g. 2, 5, 10, 17, first differences 3, 5, 7, second 2, 2 is enough to find n^2+1). There's another to find the closed form for a sequence as a linear recurrence.

Some solvers have much more extensive libraries, but I tend to grab bits of code from old solutions to reuse on the fly.

> In order to count as knowledge, it has to be justified in the right way, which, alas, nobody has been able to specify exactly what that way should be.

First of all you have to be able to test your knowledge, you would test that the clock is correct for every minute of the day. If you missed any minutes then your knowledge is incomplete, you instead have probable knowledge, (using the same methods that physics uses to decide if an experimental result is real, you can assign a probability that the clock is correct).

Also, since when is knowledge absolute? You can never be completely certain about any knowledge, you can only assign (or try to assign) a probability that you know something, and testing your belief greatly increases the probability.

I dunno about the state actor hypothesis, but if there is, it all sounds like Charles Stross's description of future cold war in Halting State:

Footnotes inserted in government reports feeding into World Trade Organization negotiating positions. Nothing we'd notice at first, nothing that would be obvious for a couple of years. You don't want to halt the state in its tracks, you simply want to divert it into a sliding of your choice."

Yeah but the Russians didn't declare war because of their demographics. In fact, if you ask them why this happened Putin gave a whole speech [0] on this when he sent the troops in, which can be neatly summarised:

> We are talking about what causes us particular concern and anxiety, about those fundamental threats that year after year, step by step, are rudely and unceremoniously created by irresponsible politicians in the West in relation to our country. I mean the expansion of the Nato bloc to the east, bringing its military infrastructure closer to Russian borders.

It isn't obvious that China is dealing with the same sort of pressures in East Asia.
