Well, the CEO of the company I used to work at is still in touch with me and giving me advice. I just tell him my view of the situation and he tells me what to do. I guess at some point I’ll switch from engineer mode to CEO mode (I already “feel” it a little)

Happened to me once in Thailand, I was very surprised.

Truly USA is an overpriced country with the only good thing being that jobs are high paying… and that’s it.

I think the best thing in life is to have a remote job somehow + travel 50% of the time + stay w friends and family 50% of the time

What do you mean, one of your « submarines »? I don’t understand the meaning.

They deter newbies but this is not a problem for experienced developers.

Yes. I am so worried as well. This is why I installed an AI to double-check if the password I entered is correct when logging in. Fight fire with fire

If they don’t, I will.

lmao well said

Why does everybody hate systemd so much ?

Sentry isn’t really a full on observability platform. It’s for error reporting only (that is annotated with traces and logs). It turns out that for most projects, this is sufficient. Can’t comment on the vendor lock-in part.

Sorry, but what was the change? Adding corticoid inhalers when treating an asthma episode? Curious since I have asthma and didn’t hear about this change yet.

How and when ?

Why do you want to find employment first? I don’t mean to tell you to change course but curious if going to a school first wouldn’t be a better option.

I can’t prove it but I think that it’ll be hard getting a job here without speaking the language unless you’re extra qualified. At least, that’s my perspective in France but I might be 100% wrong since I actually never held an office job here.

Not sure about Germany, but I would say that they speak better English than us French on average so that’s where I would try my luck first if I was you.

… except that German will be useless if you ever want to transition to Spain / Italy. Learning French would allow you to learn Spanish or Italian fast, but German wont.

(This message is definitely a nothing burger concerning finding employment, but I hope it gave you some ideas to consider)

Sorry, English isn’t my native language, but do you want to start studying again in EU? In that case, you can apply for an education VISA. I don’t know what is a blue card, but I’d suggest looking at the country you want specifically rather than looking at Europe as a whole. The procedures will be similar between EU countries but in the end, you’re going to be talking to one specific embassy in America. Each countries have different levels of strictness.

For Fun & Profit

Asahi is not that bad, did you try it out? I’ve been building a Sway configuration from scratch on it since two weeks and it’s working pretty well. Did a ton of administrative stuff with it yesterday without much trouble other than the key bindings being a bit weird coming from macOS.

Wish more AI bros would read this.

Migrated from TimescaleDB to ClickHouse and it was like night and day. Naive reimplementation of the service performed wayyyy better than timescaledb. Self-hosted.

Why embed Redis ? What feature do you need from Redis so bad that you need to embed it? Maybe you could just use Rust and have something performant without adding complexity?

This is just executives fear-mongering each other. It has nothing to do with any technical problem that needs solving. “I’m better than you because I’ve got a team of nerds dedicated on Quantum technology” “we’re going to leave you in the dust”.

Quantum, AI, blockchain… billions invested but I’m not sure if it’ll ever be worth it. We could just be happy with what we had, use the money to uplift everybody, but instead, we’re on a wild goose chase for magic technology that will solve all of our problems.

That’s short-sighted… I need a reminder to call my mom, doesn’t mean I don’t care about her.

I have tinnitus, and the only way of not hearing it is to not think about it. I am hearing it again after reading this article.

Obsidian has been really positive for me. It has paid dividends for years — I look up notes I made years ago pretty regularly. I highly recommend it. I used Anki on and of with benefits but without enough discipline. Good thing with Obsidian is that you can write and forget about it - your obscure notes about http2 multiplexing will still be there.

One thing to remember: most stuff can be forgotten safely. There are very few things you’ll actually want to look up a few months from now on…

This lol. At least she’s keeping you healthy by preventing you from wrecking your sleep schedule :-)

This will happen in Cambodia. They are building a massive amount of factories near Sihanoukville where the Chinese goods will be stamped with « made in Cambodia » and shipped right away to the USA.

There might be other ways to know about the data in advance? Some kind of flaw somewhere that lets us sniff the “dark rooms”?

Good points

Thanks for sharing

… and I used to work for a company that built software to cop some shoes. The real time detection is not as much a problem as the toxic boss running the show.

It’s an interesting idea for sure. Some drawbacks I can think off:

- bigger resource usage. You will need to maintain a dump of the TLS session AND an easily extractable version

- difficulty of verification. OpenSSL / BoringSSL / etc. will all evolve and say, completely remove support for TLS versions, ciphers, TLS extensions… This might make many dumps unreadable in the future, or requiring the exact same version of a given software to read it. Perhaps adding the decoding binary to the dump would help, but then, you’d get Linux retro-compatibility issues.

- compression issues: new compression algorithms will be discovered and could reduce data usage. You’ll have a hard time doing that since TLS streams will look random to the compression software.

I don’t know. I feel like it’s a bit overkill — what are the incentives for tampering with this kind of data?

Maybe a simpler way of going about it would be to build a separate system that does the « certification » after the data is dumped; combined with multiple orgs actually dumping the data (reproducibility), this should be enough the prove that a dataset is really what it claims to be.
