Then I guess you have to factor in housing costs, say a hotel fee.

So, what have you done to improve the situation?

Am I missing something obvious here? The 40-something-guy in the blog moved to another state without a job to live with his 80-something mother? What happened to him in the first place? Why doesn't he have any savings or anything to show for past 40 years?
746F7475··on Never trust the client
Yeah, I'm not really willing to put up with monthly costs for this, but thanks for recommendation
746F7475··on Never trust the client
I would love to play around with "botting" in some games, but I just don't even know where to begin. I tried to create super naive autoplayer years ago in C# by trying to just send keyboard keys into games, but most games didn't even receive the inputs.
746F7475··on Note from Mark Zuckerberg
One could argue that this is just a byproduct of the actual goals. If everyone is more open, then "being open should be the norm", which means that you don't care that you get targeted ads, in fact you love that advertisers can show you all the cool stuff you "care" about.

I would love to get to experience something like that, but I don't have the educational merits to even be considered by industry heavy hitters like that.
746F7475··on Hiring Is Broken – My interview experience in the tech industry
Didn't care to read after first rant about hiring process. It just seems like you are not a fit for Google. People always try to find company which "culture" fits them, but it also works the other way around, even if you wish to work for Google, maybe just for the salary or other benefits, if you are poor fit for the company culture then you are a net loss.

If the traffic is encrypted then they wouldn't see into it, but it would go through their servers, so in worst case scenario you'd be surfing from behind the Great Chinese Firewall

Isn't this already possible with normal Minecraft? I mean obviously you have to write your mod with Java, but still.

So were they trying to promote the hosting platform or what? I doubt Ubuntu 12.04 needs marketing at this point.

I have no idea how hard or easy it is, but it still seems like they are doing way more advanced shit than I ever did
746F7475··on Backing up 18 years in 8 hours
This is strange to me, I've been using computers since I can remember, but I only very late started to do anything productive with them. I've never had anything I've wanted to keep, I mean sure I now have some scripts that are valuable, but nothing old like that.

It's also so strange when co-workers talk about how their kids are not just playing games but also creating mods for their games. When I was kid I just drew pictures, played with lego and played video games.

746F7475··on Judge Who Authorized Police Search of Privacy Activists Wasn't Told About Tor
To me "tOr" will always mean "The Onion Router" because that's what it is. No matter how the "toR" people want me to spell their programs name

> I have not seen evidence that this has changed.

Just the things like: "men can't be opressed" and all the "check your privilege" shit just brings my piss to boil. And more I see all these SJWs acting like spoiled kids with their "safe zones" and "trigger warnings" more I feel like maybe things were better back in 40s and 50s.

Maybe it's a cultural thing, I really don't care, but when I'm told that I'm the very essence of evil-sexists-racist-pig because I'm male, white and straight (or cis, whatever that means) I can't but help feel like I'm being bullied for nothing I've done nor my Finnish ancestors.

> Who here is a feminist? (Two, three hands go up, timidly.)

> Wait, let me ask another way around: who here thinks that all people, regardless of gender, have the same rights and should be treated equally? (All hands go up.)

> Congratulations, you are all feminists.

It's too bad that current feminism/SJW movement has so corrupted the feminism "brand" that I do not feel comfortable identifying as one and probably who more hands don't get raised. The definition given doesn't match what currently feminism is about.

That note seems so childish.

If your "professional relationship" is "destroyed" by something like this then it wasn't a real relationship anyway
746F7475··on How to Get Out of Bed
I've never minded mornings. I mean if I woke up I can be out the door in 5 minutes and be ready for the day. At times it can be odd if I just get few hours of sleep, I can deal with a work day, but after that 6-10 hours I crash pretty hard.

Either upgrade or not, no one cares.

If no one knows about your project it's name doesn't matter.

Bring to mind the old MikeRoweSoft vs. Microsoft thing.

746F7475··on Apple files final response in San Bernardino iPhone case
I'm not suggesting that they should break encryption, but I'd like to point out again that it's pretty hard to prove that breaking encryption is necessary in "the fight against terrorism" until they can break the encryption and show us the content.

If they get to the content in other ways we are just going to say: "aha, see you don't need to break encryption after all"

746F7475··on Apple files final response in San Bernardino iPhone case
>From my understanding to date there has not been any proven evidence that has been "hidden" away by encryption by terrorists.

To be fair it's hard to know if there has been since we can't take a peek into the encryption

746F7475··on Apple files final response in San Bernardino iPhone case
>For Apple to comply with the court's order would require some of its employees to act. If whoever at Apple is told to comply with the court's order declines to do so, then what? If every Apple employee asked to supply information to the FBI refuses, then what? If every coder Apple tries to hire to comply with the court order declines to come aboard...how will the FBI get what it wants?

This will never happen. People like to keep their jobs. At the end of the day it will be on Apple's CEO's shoulders to comply with the court ruling. If people under him refuse to do it he has no option but to fire them and find someone who will do it. Obviously Apple could refuse completely from complying with the law, but that means they have to be ready to face the penalties, which will first be fines and later jail time.

746F7475··on Wire – modern, private messaging from Skype co-founder
So then maybe this isn't for you, but for me it completely replaces WhatsApp and Signal on my phone and now I don't need Skype on any of my computers (Linux for work, OSX on the go, and Windows at home) and all my conversations sync between my phone and computers.
