Replace “politicians” with “billionaires” and it’d be more accurate. Legislation has long stopped correlating highly with average citizen sentiment and has started correlating highly with wealthy and corporate interests.

> Maybe it sounds a little harsh, but a programmer who's been working professionally for five years has likely already revealed their potential.
I do bristle at that. You typically get what you are served in your work environment. If you haven't been given interesting marketable work then I guess you are written off in this world.
I really do like the vibe of their "37 signals" though. It does sound "just so".
I agree with you somewhat, but still applaud them for looking for promising future developers and paying them an amount that will attract them.
However, there are many promising junior developers that aren’t interested in the money as much as they’re interested in the challenge/fun. Sometimes high pay implies high expectations/stress and very little time to experiment/learn.
ex. I don’t want to work for a bank on fraud detection. I’d love working on AVL and in-vehicle remote monitoring systems though.
what’s scary is how ready i was to buy one
It is possible to run internet connectivity over copper wires, so to say "no telecommunications" is catastrophizing.
This is the correct answer for now, but when currently available options are functionally equivalent to what dial-up is now I think this opinion will not have aged well.
The rural United States suffers another cut from the deregulatory knife. No grocer. No rail service. No bus service. No retail. No health care. And now no telecommunications. What’s next, electric?
The rural electorate has voted overwhelmingly for candidates who oppose these regulations. This is apparently what they want.
Interesting point about MDM. Could the government compel my employer to use their MDM control of my device to gain access?
The MDM does not give your employer a way to retroactively unlock the phone. Depending on the MDM solution and capabilities they allowed they may be able to install an application though. But most people that have accepted MDM on their personal device from their employer, the only thing the employer can do is remotely wipe the device.

Cuba could be the most prosperous island in the Caribbean, they have a railroad, miles and miles of beautiful beaches, farm land, etc and yet can't make communism work. I friend returned from a short trip and said even the finest resorts have no bread amongst other things. The population is malnourished and live in squalor. Castro's Dream....
My grandfather use to say "80 years of communism and we are still lining up for bread to eat and soap to wash with". Can you believe there are those who still embrace it, think they can do it better and it will be a utopia.
Is the problem the tenets of communism? or is the problem the dictators and strongmen who inevitably rise to the top?
or the corruption that grows from unchecked power?

These type of solutions don’t scale to large ISPs, and gets costly to deploy at the edge. It’s also not just about throughput in Gbps, but Mpps.
Also, this doesn’t take into account that the congestion/queueing issue might be at an upstream. I could have 100g from the customers local co to my core routers, but if the route is going over a 20g link to a local IX that’s saturated it probably won’t help to have fq/codel at the edge to the customer.
voidwtf commented on Microsoft didn't sandbox Windows Defender, so I did (2017) blog.trailofbits.com/2017... · Posted by u/LorenDB
I see about a 100x slowdown on some applications[0] and IO heavy operations with defender in win11. It's unbelieveable how slow it is. I was a huge proponent of it in Win10, but I'm finding it hard to do so now.
[0] The software I'm using does a scan over a few hundred thousand files to read file headers. Without windows defender it takes about 30 seconds, but with defender it takes about 300.
The answer in this scenario is to exempt that application and/or folder. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
In my environment we have to add exceptions for Developers git folders for the realtime scanning for a similar reason. Apps with large numbers of small files or high frequency writes of smalls files, like temp files during the build process, need to be exempted unless you’re willing to pay the performance penalty for the security.
