While I still stand behind what was written in that post re: the non-endpoints needing the ability to troubleshoot networks, it might not be totally up to date.

A caricature of the stakeholders in QUIC standardization would split them in three groups:

- The privacy cabal thinks that every single bit of unencrypted data is unacceptable, since with enough statistical evidence over enough data paths it could be used to deduce some bit of totally irrelevant information about a user.

- The operator cabal believes that any bit of encrypted metadata (but not payload data) is unacceptable, since there could be some valid operational reason to access it.

- The ossification cabal believes that any bit of unencrypted data is unacceptable, since somebody in the operator cabal would end up misusing it, and accidentally fix the protocol in place.

Now, obviously actual humans are more nuanced than that. Still, at the time that was written, it appeared that there was absolutely no chance of getting any manageability metadata at all. These are not positions conducive to compromise. (And the lack of that kind of data leads to horrible things like using the TCP traffic going to client X to infer measurements on the QUIC traffic going to the same client).

But at the moment it feels like it might be possible (but nowhere near guaranteed) for the standardization to export some minimal amount of transport layer data. See for example the spin-bit proposal [0], where just 1-2 bits of incredibly non-sensitive data would already go a long way. Give me a single spin-bit and say 3 low-order bits of the packet number, and I'd be happy.

It really is very context dependent, and can change rapidly. When I lived in one apartment, I would always prefer UPS as that driver would leave my packages at the leasing office across the parking lot, where FedEx would try once then make me drive to their location to pick it up, and USPS would try for several days in a row (so if I went to the post office to pick it up at lunch, it was always out on a truck) which meant my packages would come 3 days later than I expected.

Then I moved to another apartment in another town and I preferred USPS because they had keys to leave the package in basically a PO box in the entryway that was meant for packages. UPS left it at the leasing office which meant I had to walk a few blocks to get it and a few blocks back. FedEx would somehow get into the building and leave it sitting in front of my door, which is super not cool with an iPhone-sized package that says "T-Mobile" on the side.

Now that I have a house and I work from home, I prefer USPS because they come at 9am, whereas FedEx comes around noon and UPS isn't here until after 5pm. Even though USPS "tramples" my lawn, they're going to do that anyway to deliver mail, and I'd rather get my package earlier. Plus UPS and FedEx knock on the door which makes my dogs bark when I might be on a call with a client.

But even then, my postman would sometimes walk through my gate into my backyard and leave packages at the back door (I guess to keep them from being stolen?), which stopped pretty quick when he walked through the closed gate and came face to face with my very surprised and scared dogs. Don't ignore a "beware of dog" sign just because you didn't see the dog before you opened the gate. Luckily he just got cornered and not bitten.

Delivering packages with high customer satisfaction is not as easy as it sounds.

If anything about those deals was unethical it was what the Bank of England was doing. They did a disservice to every citizen of the country. That blowup was going to happen regardless of whether or no Soros was on the other side.
This sounds a lot like how most people go broke. Even when you are talking about people who have been fortunate enough to make a lot of money (like lotto winners), the story sounds the similar.

Plywood: How it's made;

c4.8xlarges are the smallest c4 instance that guarantees 10G networking performance.

Those costs can easily be cut in half with reservations. Its likely there's a lower-bound of the number of reserved instances they use as a baseline performance guarantee, then they use on-demand to scale above that.

No one at their scale actually pays the list price.

Basic math: There are ~100 players in each game. At a 30 tickrate, that's 3000 RPS per game minimum. Each of those requests likely involves a number of 3D math calculations, including hit detection, collision detection, real-time cheat detection, etc. Those updates then need to batch back to the players at 30 tick. All of this needs to happen with as little eventual consistency as possible; a difference of milliseconds degrades the player's confidence that the server is correctly calculating what is happening in-game.

Point being; multiplayer game programming is an entirely different beast than normal web programming. The same rules don't apply. Its an n^2 problem where every additional user in one "lobby" actually increases resource utilization exponentially because you need to update every other user's game-state with the actions of that new player. Additionally, Battle Royale style games are the most demanding multiplayer games ever created. Games like WoW have way more players per realm, but servers only need to worry about the interactions of a select few in your surrounding area, and it doesn't have as stringent real-time requirements. Games like CoD only load in 5-20 players.

You are correct: by the standard definition, the Roadster is not a celestial object.

It was just loose terminology in the tweet. When you look up the Roadster on the HORIZONS database it doesn't call it a celestial object.

To see the details, first click the link in the tweet:

I do love nvm, but I'm a little surprised that the source requires an older version of node. I wonder if it doesn't actually require it, but the package.json has the engines prop pinned to v6 anyways.
Not only no, but hell no.

This is one thing that drives me crazy about the Minecraft Modding community. Instead of properly documenting a mod on a Wiki someone will make an hour long YouTube video that takes forever to get to the point and misses a lot of the nuance. Not only does it take forever, but going back to find recipes or specific construction restrictions means scrubbing through the video looking for those 2 seconds worth of frames that had the relevant information. Even the old standards of the FTB wikis are now terribly out of date as everybody moved on to pure video.
The value of the taxi technology is predicated on surviving high losses for a few years to secure riders for the autonomous fleet that will emerge. The driver component in the current equation is 100% subsidized by investors.
That is a good point, but it's also true that you don't know what you don't know.

I've learned a lot about things I never thought I would be interested in by searching for terms and maths that I saw in papers and didn't understand.

It's not like I've become an expert in anything new, but it gets me thinking about all kinds of interesting things. It makes me want to go back to school, and reinforces the idea that I could create more if I did.

So I know that not everyone sees it this way, but I think that gating the means to easily access that sort of aspirational hope and inspiration is reprehensible.

Where clause pushdown through views, or worse CTEs. Views with window functions querying views with window functions. Queries with multiple windows. I didn't just randomly make the statement, modern query planners are an absolute arse to predict in the way that you can 100% of the time in external code. The moment you're doing anything really 'sequency' instead of just calculating some dumb running totals, window functions can become a nightmare, and I just made the statement so people don't automatically think there's a friction-free story for doing general sequence processing in SQL. Not sure why this has offended people so much.

What these "[insert communication medium] is dead!" proclamations don't take into account is that everyone learns differently. Even with developers. Some will wade through detailed documentation, others want a quick GIF showing how the API does something, some just want some screenshots, and so on.
This will sound like I'm vehemently defending Facebook, but I found some considerable gaps in your counter argument that I thought I'd make you aware of, for the sake of constructive debate.

> What about monetizing and marketing people's affection? The dowry would be the classic example, I'd be curious why you (presumably) are against dowries.

No, the dowry wouldn't be the classic example because that's more akin to prostitution or slave trade than monetizing and marketing affection. This especially considering a lot of marriages were done out of convenience and need rather than out of love.

Better examples: Valentines day, Christmas day, or the mere idea that you have to celebrate someone's birthday. I have seen movies about the tragedy of a kid not getting a christmas present like it's traumatizing. This is marketing. As a result you have hordes of parents playing into an objectively ridiculous legend that has transformed St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, 2nd century into a Coca-cola developed mascot of consumption.

Anyone who's gotten married can see how ridiculous the "love" and "affection" marketing gets. Facebook isn't as much in this business; it actually is on the business of attention, and there's stuff to be said about that.

> Are you also okay with advertising cigarettes to children?

I get that Facebook keeps being compared to cigarette companies under the whole addiction narrative, but lets not forget the big reason cigarettes aren't marketed to children; they kill a lot of people, and perhaps most distressing, they kill people who don't smoke them. They are also physically addictive; this is a big issue.

I think your comparison with gambling was more appropriate, or one to video games / TV like the in the comment you replied to.
> Maybe I'm one of the Philistines.

In OP's terminology, I think we are the literate lowbrows.
Sure, but there was contestation about adding it to the DSM. Actually in DSM-V it's recommended to pursue further study into internet addiction.

What I'm really asking though is what lines you draw between something like 'social media addiction' and 'gambling addiction'? Or is the only difference in your mind the inclusion in the DSM?
Samsung's flagship lines restored add-on memory cards with the S7 generation; it would be truly surprising if they reversed that two generations later.

I think a good habit to pick up would be realizing you're curious about something and reading the Wikipedia page. The one on George Soros is pretty extensive.
I believe the article addressed this with the Madison WI example. The high paying company in Madison was still Google, but if they are paying above average salaries to 100 engineers in a city that may only have 1000 that's still a significant spike in a "random city"

Just as a nitpick, it should be spelled "Soroj" instead of "Soroi" since George Soros's surname is in Esperanto, and that's the proper way to form a plural noun.

FedEx and UPS had an opportunity there, to start their own online marketplace, and compete Amazon out of existence. But the window is closing, and now they will have the same thing happening to them. And it will be another instance of winner takes all.
The point is that good quality Bluetooth headphones are still expensive. And as someone who has invested a lot of money in good quality wired headphones I don't want reinvest even more when we have a functioning technology that already does the job extremely well.

That's a pretty unique employee benefit.
I lose orders of magnitude of dev time every time Postgres can't work out how to push a where clause down into a view, tbh. In our case, doing processing on sequences at insert time is much more pleasant, performant and featureful than trying to do it after the fact with window functions.
Algebra is hard - it's an abstract problem-space. It takes learning problem-solving! I've seen brilliant middle-school kids struggle with it because it's a way of thinking that has to be learned. Don't cut yourself or others short by saying these things you think are easy are easy by their very nature.

Doing any of those things you describe with effectively in a mid/large-scale engineering organization with many competing tech priorities is not something an amateur or simpleton could do with any real success. I can put seeds in the ground, but that doesn't make me a farmer.

But also - maybe larger point - many of the things that are not coding/math/science are also quite hard. My father fixed auto-bodies for a living and he made some incredibly difficult, detail-oriented, craftsmanship tasks look dumb-simple. He asked me to tape off a car once so it could be painted - something he thought a 13 year old should be able to do because it was "so easy" was a complete disaster. He forgot how second-nature it had become to him.

So..just because you think it's easy doesn't mean it is. And just because it's hard doesn't mean it's fairly characterized in popular-opinion as being as hard as it actually is.
Meta-Analysis of the Antidepressant Effects of Acute Sleep Deprivation [pdf]
The Kochs are widely misunderstood. They are typically seen as effectively a free-money-pit for generic Republican views that promote Capitalist exploitation, laying waste to the environment, and destroying any real grassroots movement to bring democratic power to the people.

From my understanding, the reality is more like: The Kochs are typical dogmatic Libertarians who aren't anti-environment but have this simplistic economic model in their heads that insists that regulations are nearly always counterproductive. They don't support just any conservative view. They have good intentions and aren't about pursuing their own selfish power. They want to empower others. It's just that they are misled by their simplistic dogma (which certainly has a lot of actually fine ideas, but it's the holding them as a dogmatic set in the stereotypical Libertarian way that they go wrong). So, their opposition to mass incarceration and to regressive Nationalism… those things all fit their particular dogma that is simply not a plain polar opposite of progressive ideas but is more orthogonal in many ways.

Why not? If my neighbor gets planning permission to do something, doesn't that increase the chance that I might also get such permission in future? If so, doesn't that increase the value of my house?
I have skipped the update so far because after reading through the release notes, I found not a single useful feature for a business / programming focused MBP.

Of course, they are still trying to nag me into updating it by popping up a notice very few days that has no close option, only "Install" and "Details" which opens the App Store. >:(

I don't understand the question then. You want to run an actor disconnected from the learner, but you want it to learn?

Edit: Or... You mean running the whole distributed learning algorithm on one machine. I don't see why not, but I doubt it would outperform something intended to run on a single machine.

Have you seen the revenues? Have you seen the stock prices? Besides that they obviously can afford to keep raising salaries to compete with each other, they also have to keep raising salaries to compete with the devs. Market entry has such a low barrier, they have to essentially pay every developer to not simply take their knowledge, walk out the door, and set up their own shingle.
Part of that might be because you started so early, but part of it might just be some innate properties of how you think. Is your brain good at programming because you started so young, or did you start so young because your brain is good at programming?
I've started contacting customer service and requesting compensation when this happens. I tell them politely I pay for prime benefit and you are not granting me that benefit, therefore I receive a reduced prime fee.

It does affect human populations[1] and morality is irrelevant.

People don't think there's inherent value in biodiversity, but in reality there are certain ecological functions carried out by many species that we take for granted. These ecological functions are critical for the environments we live in. E.g. Water Filtration [2]

Okay still don't buy it? Well let's talk about efficiency.

There are a couple of startups who are working on carbon scrubbers. [3] They see it as a potential market as the amount of carbon increases. I think this is ridiculous... grasses are extremely efficient at sequestering carbon, specifically bamboo. The entire attitude of science being able to combat climate change smells of engineer's disease[4]. Bamboo has been evolving for millions of years to efficiently remove carbon from the atmosphere. A couple of engineers are not going to be able to compete with that in a realistic time frame.

Oh ok, so your code just doesn't deal with data in the database then? I dont understand what point you're trying to make here.

You can lay out your tables however you want, and you can then map them to objects using an ORM. That's what mapping means, to translate from domain to another. There's no limit on how things are actually designed and ORMs usually do a much better job of handling all that bulk code for you. Nothing is stop you from writing SQL yourself if you really need something complex but again, you should know when and where that is.
