Computers are an incredibly powerful tool, and I am always looking for ways to help others take advantage of that power. To that end, I have worked on projects ranging from configuration management (with a focus on deep integration with Linux and commercial Unix platforms) to blockchain (focusing on real-world assets and actual applications for the technology).
My main technical skills are in systems/lower-level programming. I enjoy the challenge of making complex functionality work in a performance-constrained environment. But I also know that code doesn't live in a vacuum, and I care a lot about making sure what I'm building actually solves problems for the business and the customer. I am always looking for opportunities to work more closely with stakeholders to ensure me and my team are on the right track.
I have lots of experience supporting interns and junior engineers, and always love opportunities to be a teacher or mentor. Looking for someone to help your team level up on Rust? I could be who you're searching for!
2017 is quite a long time ago, especially in terms of how long smartphones have been around (and arguably even in terms of how long cell phones have been mainstream).
Google and Meta choose to give the government all sorts of data that they're not required by law to give, because they don't see it as worthwhile to go to bat for their users. You can choose to use a vendor who will protect your privacy and demand full due process on the part of government requestors.
In China there is no due process and no choice of vendors who would demand it, even if they could.
You greatly overestimate how long systematic weather data collection has occurred across even first-world countries, nevermind the rest of the globe. There are certainly many, many places _right now_ where daily weather info isn't logged
25 feet is actually pretty far. You could be on top of a two story building or across the street and still be "too close". Obviously neither of those cases would interfere with an officer's duties.
To me this law is clearly overreaching, and seems intended to scare people off from trying to see what their "officers of the law" are doing.
If it's truly accidental (as in a rogue employee or a script that f'd up), they probably have a legal basis to break the contract/license terms and retract it. Just as stores are not required to honor misprinted price tags. There will likely be a court case if someone believes they legitimately received a GPL-licensed version of the code and wants to use that code in another project (or pass it on to others). Like I said, I think Adobe has a good case to win that here.
If it's "accidental", and they're just trying to walk it back, there would definitely be a court case. Whether they'd win or lose would be very up in the air, and probably depend on the jurisdiction's friendliness to businesses.
The grocer's apostrophe (which I will argue should be called the grocers'(1) apostrophe, since there are many offending grocers) is the bane of my existence
(1) My phone absolutely tried to correct that back to "grocer's"
This exactly. I've got all six original Star Trek films on UHD blu-rays. I was recently visiting my mother and we watched The Voyage Home (the one with the whales) streaming on her TV. The compression artifacts were immediately apparent. I won't judge color accuracy or contrast, since we have very different TV technologies. But I shouldn't be able to see mpeg blocks on a 4k stream that the provider charges extra for!
If it's the one I'm thinking of: the title was about government, but all of the examples in the article were private firms with profit motives. The author implied that government must work the same way as industry, but that's a huge assumption.
The article had no examples of public agencies perpetuating the problems they set out to solve.
