There isn't enough dough for that.

I get paid for it.

Edit: For a slightly less sardonic answer, I prep an innumerable number of different items every day, and they all have to look near perfect. I decided that while programming was a passion of mine, I wanted to do it on my own terms. I wanted to create projects that I found interesting.

Baking though? If I want to make something at work that I find interesting, I can experiment and do that, and my boss encourages me.

So I still code, but I stopped doing it for money and started doing it to contribute to society. Baking I do for fun and money. It was a later in life career change, but I'm much happier for it.

Yes, it's worked out terribly for some people, but everyone I know who have done upwork jobs on the side have had next to zero problems.

I don't use them anymore, as I've gotten out of the tech industry and became a professional baker instead, but I get the feeling that we on HN tend to hear a few horror stories, and ignore the thousands of success stories.

I'm not saying that there shouldn't be changes made, but anecdotal evidence does not instantly justify a witchhunt and boycott.

Because it's a way to make money while you're between jobs while still using the skills you're good at. Not everyone is great at networking, nor are they necessarily in a place where they could pull good clients even if they were.

It's a shit sandwich, but in tough times, that's all you can find to eat.

I made a fortune on Ripple this year. I wasn't doing amazingly financially, but I invested about 50k of my savings into it over 3 months because it sounded like an amazing idea. I did that in May, and just recently sold. It's been a hell of a ride, and I plan to continue to invest in other cryptos that sound interesting to me.

RaiBlocks is next on my list, but I'm still trying to find a good point to get in.

Edit: To make it clear, I had never invested in crypto before last year.

From my understanding, the VM can exploit it too via executing a crazy amount of syscalls. I may be misunderstanding, but if that were not the case I doubt that AWS would be forcing quick reboots of a ton of its VMs.

Edit: Wait, sorry, I misread. Read is all you really need, write would just be a cherry. If you can read the memory of the host kernel, then you can gain access to any other VMs on the system. This one is bottom-up, you need access to one system and in theory you can gain access to thousands.

Also the unpatched devices. Millions of phones don't receive patches anymore, whereas most servers do get patches. They're not really comparable in scale.

The difference is scale. OpenSSL was on a lot of servers, but this affects literally every device manufactured in the last 9 years or so. A well-crafted virus could infect nearly any computer and exploit it reliably. We're talking billions and billions of devices, as opposed to millions by Heartbleed.

I only had a chance for a brief read over the papers, and to be frank, a lot of it goes over my head.

However, from what I'm understanding, this makes Heartbleed look like a papercut.

I did google it, there was nothing of import, and that's why I asked the question.

I'm glad you like it! I've taken a leave of absence because my IRL situation has become intense, but I'll definitely be going back. If you like the particle effects, that's my doing. If you don't, well, blame LuckySpammer.

I haven't heard anything about continued leaking. Any sources on that? Googling turns up nothing besides the sheep incident.

I think you're spot on. I manage an online game, and we don't have rules. We have somewhat vague guidelines, and moderators we trust to enforce them.

Rules are open to arguments, and with dozens of bans/appeals a day, it'd be ridiculous to do that. We tried strict rules, and they are both too restrictive and ineffective.

Humans need to make judgements, and guidelines give you the latitude to do that.

90 percent? Probably close to 99. While a significant portion of crypto is probably owned by rich people, the vast majority of actual owners of crypto is owned by people who make far less than that.

For every millionaire out there who is investing in crypto, there are a few hundred people who just want to buy things off the dark web.

No, definitely not. It would reach the temperature of the other side of the heatsink, and since that's 30 billion years, the Earth will be long, long, LONG gone by then.

Even if the sun doesn't engulf the earth, the lowest it could get would be the temperature of the CMB, which is about 3K. Granted, over a couple trillion years, that number would lower.

Reaching absolute zero is pretty much one of the only few things that physicists consider impossible, along with exceeding light speed.

If (s)he isn't a Continuum player, I would be astounded. The default ship is pretty much the Warbird without a bullet. It handles like... identically.

To the developer, if you want another, I develop another popular online game (TagPro) and I desperately want to help you make this a bigger game. This has incredible potential, and it mirrors a game I've been developing for like a year. I haven't had this much fun with a webgame in a long time.

Feel free to email me, my email is in my profile

I'm with you. I read the complaint twice, and the RFC twice, and I don't quite think it's a bug. It's a weird thing to reason out, but I don't think Amazon's behavior here is wrong, though it might be unexpected...

For various values of unexpected.

This might seem prophetic or cocky, but I've used a random b64 TLD for years that I expand with a macro. After we expanded past countries on the TLDs, I just figured that any short (or even sensible) TLD would eventually be taken, and I didn't want that to break any of my tests that had hardcoded domains (as rare as those are.)

"Honey, why are your hundred grams of oatmeal taking up 5 bowls?"

"I'm not sure! It must be exceptionally light."

> Protesting in your city has little impact on the federal level.

Sure, if you're trying to effect change on a federal level. Do you think that marching in a small town in France or Egypt would have a different effect?

Marching in your town is worth it for changing laws in your town, or possibly your county. Protesting at the state capital would be effective for changing laws in your state. Protesting in DC would be effective for changing the laws in the country.

Is any of that surprising?

Edit: I suppose it is a little surprising as the US and Canada are the only two 'free' countries as big as we are that allow protesting in any real capacity. China and Russia are out of that category (China pretty much always, Russia for most of recent history.) It does make protesting more difficult than in smaller countries, but what's the alternative? Every single protest in every city should be recognized by the federal government?

I would have to assume that it's not still in use by the US, lest this be incredibly classified, correct?

I'm curious as to what they mean by 'outdated.' Is the actual language outdated or simply the architecture? I would assume the latter, but it's tough to tell. I just can't figure out how assembly could become outdated.

You're 100% correct, that's why I didn't get the context. The title had already changed.

One would imagine that 'root' would be a ubiquitous search term, regardless of the language in question.

Pretty sure they are. What other post could they be commenting on?

Why don't you think they have one? Let's take a second and think about how awful Facebook would be right now if they didn't have the protections they have in place already.

Taking an isolated incident of community reporting taking down some posts and accounts doesn't show in any way that they don't have protections against bot rings. What if it's legitimate users who have a vendetta against the protesters? Obviously, that doesn't make the end result OK, but that wouldn't be some weird evidence of technical neglect by Facebook.

Fair enough. I couldn't stop myself from putting it out there, but I also believe that as long as it's intelligible that it really doesn't matter how you put it.

Apologies for being a grammar nazi but I thought I'd let you know that it isn't 'all be it', it's "albeit."

I code Python professionally (and passionately), and would consider myself quite experienced. His code in ' When Cheryl Met Eve: A Birthday Story' is the most beautifully constructed stuff in the world. That sort of stuff isn't about coding ability, it's about a reasoning process that some people have developed to such an extent that it's innately beautiful no matter how it's expressed. I'm sure his javascript solution would be nearly as beautiful.
