Exactly my thoughts. The first four paras are the only useful part of the article, everything else is advertising tons of books. On the other hand, the comments here are worth reading as always. :-)

Learning the language may not be a strict requirement if the country and its people are friendly [ ] to immigrants. In that case the country makes extra effort to be welcoming and offers translation in their Government affairs. For example,

A better metric here would be the number of people wanting to immigrate and are in queue. I believe US will come out uncontested winner here! :-D

Interesting statistic. Though all three seem so homogeneous, and hence a bit hostile ("integrate into our culture, else..."). Again, I am not saying they are, just that they seem so. Stark difference to the US, with its melting-po

In my experience, integration into a society is a gradual process with no well-defined boundaries. Maybe this is where US and many seemingly homogeneous EU countries differ?

Yet another way to say that: USA is very friendly to immigrants - it is not a homogeneous society, and there is mutual respect of all religions, faiths, and languages. On contrast, I find many populations in EU to be actively hostile toward

Per my understanding, FIPS certification only guarantees the crypto implementation does what it is supposed to do and nothing else. If implementation has language-specific vulnerabilities (like buffer overflow, memory management issues), th

I respectfully disagree with your opinion. Thanks.

Ah, gotcha. I agree there is a significant amount of harmful "broscience" doing rounds in a typical lifting area. :-)

I am curious what type of people are you categorizing in "gymgoers that can barely run a mile". Certainly no the ones who follow Starting Strength program, since with personal experience I can say my mile time is way better it is

Spot on, the article does begin with this sentence: "If you are a competitive distance runner or cyclist who is serious about your sport, this article has not been written for you."

The conventional wisdom of exercising alternate days, 20 minutes per day, etc. may lead to many people over-training themselves. In my experience, the "exercise-life" balance (similar to work-life balance) has to be had for benefi

US typically uses pretty strong adjectives. Like my kid keeps on "hating" everything, and there are no shades of gray. Maybe that's how you are using "stupid"? Haha.

Wow! I am surprised - I thought Xen hypervisor was a household name at least within the software industry. Looks like not! Haha.

No one knows for sure, though compromised compilers are not far fetched - there has been an implicit trust on compiler toolchains. Reproducible builds are a few years out from full general adoption.

Great stuff! I tried zooming in to some of the dense Indian railway networks and surprisingly it has a very good amount of detail.

Regarding #2 - while I am all for reforming the US prison system, a direct comparison of US (prison) failure with Scandinavian (prison) success is unfair. It also risks creating misguided reforms, without properly understanding and addressi

I don't need dragging as all my windows are full screen. :-) That said, this is a pretty neat trick.

That is one thing that I absolutely dislike -- sticking everything as a part of one big browser. I prefer individual apps that I can control separately, than use a monolithic application. :-(

Unfortunately, most of the alphabet soup compliance programs have perverse incentives - they encourage ticking check-boxes, while do nothing to improve the security as such. I believe the real problem is effective security is hard, and most

Yup, one reason why the bar is getting lower by the day across Universities and workplaces.

I think that is largely a difficult and expensive task, since there is no universally accepted definition of "feeling comfortable", and it is impossible to comfort a snowflake. I'd rather be happy letting people go than chasi

That can possibly be explained by non-native English speaking team. The whole idea of "radiation exposure" is actually nuts, and a pure marketing gimmick (as are meditation timer, and other ethical considerations).

I am not sure the size of your company and the budget for in-house prices, but we realized AWS is not just a lock-in, but also a permanent money drain.

It was buggy as hell, good riddance. For me the biggest annoyance was when volume buttons would freeze the touchbar, and the only way was to reset the audio system! Ugh!! (Make it inherently safe - physical keys, so less chances of programm
