ru552··on Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High
Why does it have to be all or nothing? 10% to 15% of your portfolio is more reasonable. Adjust the percentage based on your bull/bear feeling towards the market.
ru552··on Google Photos will end its free unlimited storage in June 2021
I have all of this with amazon. Included with Amazon prime.
ru552··on Vue.js 3
It doesn't need memory anymore. Writes raw to spinning disk. 2% faster -50% of the time
ru552··on The Clean Network – United States Department of State
I'm not really sure what's going on here either. Reading the article, it looks like there will be a list of approved providers of telco equipment and all services to US govt facilities will be required to use the approved list of gear. Same for 5g networks. I don't see how that splits up the internet. The app store thing could be fishy or maybe is just leads to a disclaimer in the app store that an app is "clean" or not.
ru552··on Experts recommend Machine Learning books
I still read NLP as Neuro-linguistic programming. Every. Time.
ru552··on Otto: Friendly Machine Learning Assistant
Interesting project. Seems like a boilerplate to jump start various experiments.
ru552··on Nubank acquires Cognitect
Was this a conference? Possible link to the talk mentioned?
ru552··on Harvard CS professor David Malan built a distance-learning empire
Malan is an excellent teacher and I absolutely enjoyed the time I spent with the CS50 material.
ru552··on Things I wish I had known when I started programming, Part 4 (2019)
I don't think it ever goes away until you make peace with who you are. Accept that some days you will be less productive than others. Accept that somebody else will always appear to get more done than you.

Give a look at Scott Adams's goals vs systems. Personally, when I stick to my system I am less likely to look to something else to judge if I'm "doing enough" and as a result, imposter syndrome doesn't have a chance to creep in.

ru552··on Reddit started banning accounts that voted for content “against their policies”
I don't. I'm not sure what the reason is. I generally only post nerd stuff in r/sysadmin or r/networking. Oh well.
ru552··on Reddit started banning accounts that voted for content “against their policies”
I'm a daily redditor. On Saturday I logged into reddit and found "Your account has been permanently suspended from Reddit." across the top banner. The mod message says I was permanently suspended for repeated violations of the content policy.

The last time I posted ANYTHING on reddit was 21 days ago when I commented on a Schwarzenegger post and said I'd love for him to be president. I appealed it and haven't heard anything.

ru552··on Microsoft now credits maker of AppGet but offers no apology
Taking the dude's work that he licensed them to take (via Apache 2.0) is one thing. Giving him false hope about a future job prospect is another.
ru552··on OBS Studio: Open-source software for video recording and live streaming
I use OBS to record live streams of conferences so I can go back and watch them later. It's pretty great.
ru552··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
Ok, authoritarian regimes not included
ru552··on Vendors who charge extra for single sign-on
I work at a place that has banned the use of SSO because it allows an attacker to compromise one set of credentials and have access to everything. Good times
ru552··on CBS gets YouTube review of 'Picard' taken down for using 26 seconds
This specifically has nothing to do with automation. The article clearly states that it was a manual take down initiated by a person.
ru552··on How SSH Port Became 22
Why not just restrict access to specific IP blocks? Even if you left it open to Verizon's entire IP space so you can hit it with your cell, you would still dramatically lower your incident rate.
ru552··on Bugs That Became Features
Former comp tribes player reporting in.

Skiing didn’t work by holding the jump button though. You had to continuously jump while going down a hill to “ski”. This lead to players writing a script that continuously jumped and binding that to a button that was held to “ski”.
