aurelianito··on Gitlab servers are being exploited in DDoS attacks
Baywatch was a great TV show. Maybe you don't like it. Millions all over the world do.
aurelianito··on AWS is playing chess, Cloudflare is playing Go
AFAIK, triple ko games are usually played again, and they are extremely rare.
aurelianito··on Patrick Stewart on the teacher who spotted his talent
Adrenaline rushes are addictive, and free. Enjoy them! Being terrified on stage is what makes me want to do it. Once you lose this feeling, being on stage loses its appeal. Trust me, it happened to me. It sucks.
aurelianito··on A function decorator that rewrites the bytecode to enable goto in Python
You can have the same flow in python raising and catching an exception.
aurelianito··on “Great resignation” wave coming for companies
I could get a 60k USD a year remote thing but I would be out of the system (I mean, now I am an Argentinian employee with all the rights it entails). For 60k, it is not worth it. For 100k it would be worth to solve all the issues associated with getting money from abroad (maybe make a corporation somewhere?). Anyway, I am listening to 100k+ offers.
aurelianito··on “Great resignation” wave coming for companies
Not the original commenter, but this is the situation in Argentina. I would love to do a remote gig and get 100k a year. I am a programmer with over 20 years of experience and I can program professionally in over 10 different programming languages.
aurelianito··on A robot to replace the need for farmers to go inside the grain bin
In Argentina, silos have been mostly replaced by silo bags with grain inside. Like this one: https://agroverdad.com.ar/2019/04/como-lograr-en-8-pasos-un-...
aurelianito··on Did a weak WiFi password lead police to our door?
They legally ban them. If you are catched using one you go to jail.
aurelianito··on Are we ready to see satellites built on an assembly line approach?
That's easy. If spacex does not respect the ban, China will fire anti-satellite missiles to the spacex constellation.
aurelianito··on Why keyboard shortcuts don't work on non-US layouts and how devs could fix it
Don't know about parent, but latin-american keyboard is like that.
aurelianito··on Tesla's “full self driving” beta is potentially dangerous
I think full self driving will be achieved when infrastructure and laws are adapted to it. We already have the tech to pull it off. A clear example of this is metro line 14 in Paris (it has no driver).

We don't need trains, just proper painting of the roads and separate autonomous vehicles from the rest.

Trying to use the current infrastructure without any adaptation seems to me a dead road.

aurelianito··on “Location-Based Pay” – Who are we to complain?
I think it shows that employers are a cartelized oligopsony. That's why they can get away with paying different salaries based on anything but performance (in this case, location)
aurelianito··on No, Cellebrite Cannot “Break Signal Encryption”
You can make a copy before opening the app.
aurelianito··on "Equal pay for equal work" in remote jobs
I don't get why companies don't just hire in the cheap job markets paying a little more than market price there but far less than Silicon Valley, instead of hiring in Silicon Valley. Specially for remote work! Can someone who does that explain why?
aurelianito··on How to Write Unit Tests for Logging
I view the tested code as the test of the tests.
aurelianito··on Fortunately, I don't squash my commits
I know. It means that the only commits left are the ones that originally where merge requests, and you loose the rest of the history.
aurelianito··on Fortunately, I don't squash my commits
If you squash all the merge requests, you get ONLY merge commits.
aurelianito··on Fortunately, I don't squash my commits
Yes they do. And it is frustrating. Specially frustrating when you ar the new guy and the history of the code does not tell what happened.
aurelianito··on Fortunately, I don't squash my commits
I never understood the need to squash commits (or rebase). If you do merge requests and use merge commits (like GitHub or gitlab do). A "nice" history is a small script away. It should even be a part of the GitHub/gitlab gui. Do not loose information about the development history!
aurelianito··on Actively speaking two languages protects against cognitive impairment
If they tapped into this population they wouldn't be able to make any valid conclusion because they are intrinsically different.
aurelianito··on Actively speaking two languages protects against cognitive impairment
Almost everyone is bilingual in Barcelona. They teach Catalan and Spanish at school, and both are spoken by the general population. How did they get non-bilingual people there?
aurelianito··on “Zombie cicadas” infected with mind-controlling fungus return to West Virginia
Toxoplasmosis is known to promote risky behavior in infected people.
aurelianito··on Spotify CEO: musicians can no longer release music only “once every 3-4 years”
They just need to fill 10 stadiums and it's done. The Rolling Stones did this in Buenos Aires, for example.
aurelianito··on The New Siberians
This is the kind of narrative I expect when the powers that be want to separate a part of a country. This is clearly an attempt to separate Russia from its Siberian wealth. For a textbook example of getting a part of a country via generating an independence movement see the history of Panama (former Colombia province).
aurelianito··on Encouraging a culture of written communication
If that's the case, look for a new job. The current one is FUBAR.
aurelianito··on [dead]
I am getting a 504. Does it work for you?
aurelianito··on H5N1 (2013)
I don't think they are useless. We cannot stop breathing for 10 minutes, but we can not eat or drink for days, but no one would say that eating is useless.

The same is happening with our society. We are sick so we suspended the equivalent of eating, while we keep the equivalent of breathing going on.

aurelianito··on Gitlab's Guide to All-Remote
In Argentina, same pay for the same job is a constitutional right. If they hire someone here they would get a lawsuit asking for Silicon Valley payment.
aurelianito··on Google Open Source Code Search
You always can bridge to git from svn and mercurial. It is almost seamless, and after generating the git repository everything will work.
aurelianito··on Elliott Management buys stake in Twitter and seeks to oust Jack Dorsey
He even deposed a democratic government. He was a big Macri supporter, and several 'ongs' supported by him where presided by members of his government (for example, Laura Alonso). If this guy gets Twitter control it will make Twitter complete trash.
