Hence my questions, I love to compare notes.
> better humans

Ah, sounds like you’re into eugenics. Do you believe humans are wise enough to determine what traits are favorable?

Increased longevity, for instance, seems short-sighted. We already have extreme population growth. While natural survival instincts strive to fight death, what’s the net benefit to society of helping more people make it through their 90s?

Phases like childhood and parenthood would become smaller fractions of life, does extending old age make your overall life experience better? Would society progress as quickly with more old people around?

Need feedback on project dealing with monitoring the event loop
Hey everyone I’m part of a small team of developers who will be spending the next few weeks creating a tool to benefit the Node ecosystem.

We're interested in doing something with monitoring the event loop.

Using async hooks and performance hooks we are thinking about creating a tool that shows you how long each async call and subsequent calls take in the event loop. Given any user's experience with Node, do you think this is a reasonable idea? If so what other metrics or information do you think would be valuable for developers?

If not, what developer tool do you wish the Node ecosystem had?

Thank you for your time; my team and I really appreciate your feedback!
I'm saying that I think you misread it. The example I gave flat out doesn't support your conclusion.
I'd be a happy camper if there was a sane add-on for FF that let me quickly navigate links on a page. With sites being as interactive as they are, "tab" just doesn't cut it (not more efficiently than the mouse, anyway).
To find the least congested route to home from office and vice versa.

Though I know all the roads around here (Bay Area) I still need google maps to find out which one is least congested.
As stated in the post, it's a simple solution to help with anonymity.

"The password has been hashed client side and just the first 5 characters passed to the API As mentioned earlier, there are 475 hashes beginning with "21BD1", but only 1 which matches the remainder of the hash for "P@ssw0rd" and that record indicates that the password has previously been seen 47,205 times."
1. Compound semiconductors often suffer from p-type and n-type conduction problems. Plus they're ridiculously expensive and power hungry. They also often lack a native oxide.

2. The problem today in CPUs is not really clock speed but much more the memory access latency, optane is much slower* than DRAM and has much lower endurance.

*Even though silicon HKMG transistors use high k gate dielectrics now, they still use a silicon dioxide interfacial layer.
What about a waterpik?

Anecdotally, having used one, I think it’s way more effective than traditional flossing, since it actually can clean the gaps between your teeth (is that what you meant by the grooves?)
20 perfectly random characters from a base64 stream have 20*6 = 120 bits of entropy. If you pick 20 characters from out of 1000 choices you can see on the screen, that would seem to remove at most 10 bits of entropy, no? (2^10 ~~ 1000)

This is 100% false. EVERYTHING that goes over the wire is encrypted, always, just like when you're on a TLS website such as your bank.

Group chats aren't end-to-end encrypted, and 1 on 1 chats are only end-to-end encrypted if you make it a Secret Chat.
Boring is great from the UX perspective. Things doing what's expected is exactly what you want!
The mechanisms that affect newly minted, publicly exposed figures (celebrities, athletes, and lottery winners) is largely predatory investors and money managers. Predators are a lot more successful at taking advantage of poorly educated athletes, etc. Frivolous consumption, which certainly can affect persons of any financial upbringing, is unlikely to have any material impact on those who simply inherit money and do nothing else of value to society. I believe consumerism could be impactful to truly idiotic persons of inherited wealth (with an equally classless, idiotic family surrounding them). A trust fund baby of average intelligence, brought up in a family practicing at least upper-middle class social norms, would likely be perfectly fine.

> That's why I take the view that class and culture > wealth until you start to get into the nine figures

Class, culture, and wealth form symbiosis much before fortunes of 9 figures.

Personally I believe proper taxation structures are much more effective a method to normalize against inherited wealth.
Been using this a few years, it's really good from user standpoint.
I recently finished Bertil Lintners China's India War which is a counterpoint to Neville Maxwell's India's China's war. It seems the Chinese way is not expansionist by definition but instead declaring countries, land, sea as part of their historical empire and justify a war as a means for re-aquiring them. It doesn't really matter whether it was justified or not because they do everything to integrate the region after the forceful takeover.

A Bloom filter with >500M items, even when allowing for a comparatively high rate of false positives such as 1 in 100, is still in the hundreds of MBs, which would not be that much more accessible than the actual dump files.
Having lived in the valley a couple times for months-long stints I never quite understood how the Valley doesn't get how cities should be built.

I live in Ljubljana (https://www.google.si/maps/place/Ljubljana/, ~300k), a capital of a tiny nation of Slovenia. I live in the city center and have in 5 minutes on foot radius (50m): multiple grocery stores, schools, kindergartens, parks, market, cafes, restaurants...

In the valley, it's impossible to live without a car. Just getting a freaking coffee usually includes a ride. ATM = ride, burger = ride, ... You guys spend hours in your car just to get the basics done. I actually didn't know what to do in Palo Alto until I got a rental.

And SF ain't any better. Sure there are parts of the city that are actually similar to what you would expect in a normal, livable European city, but most of it is not really. And you still need a car to move across town.

I find east coast much better - Boston is quite walkable and New York even more so.

Can anyone explain to me why do you have this shitty setup in the valley? Feels so random that it must be some kind-of wierd policy enforcement that caused this.

Can you explain what "damage" it might cause? Giving labor a seat on the board seems like a logical, small step in this direction. Maybe a lower tax rate for Employee Owned Companies (ESOP's) would incentivize owners to spread some of these record profits.

I don't think he is talking about 'regrowing teeth', he's talking about repairing a cavity.

I know very little about the science of this, so I could be way off, but I suspect what is happening is.

1) stop further decay
2) allow calcium/mineral/other to build up in the location of the whole.

As long as the nerve isn't exposed and deterioration has been stopped, isn't that the same as 'repaired teeth'?
I envy you. A little at least. I had to make a conscious effort, and eventually I just switched my default search engine from Wikipedia to DDG and forcefully acquired the habit of just typing my search in the adress bar instead of calling up my search engine of choice. And still I find myself typing goog^H^H^H^Hddg.gg on a regular basis. The habit is just so deeply ingrained. ;-)
I'm a heavy KeePass user in private and I like it. Recently, I was pleasently surprised that my new corporate IT overlords allow me to use it at work too.

Password generation is fine. Whenever you create a new entry it prepopulates it with a generated password. Just type in domain and username and hit ok.

On the negative side, KeePass UI is old school. Lots of buttons and options. Not streamlined for the common use cases.

(No comment on download and setup, since I'm not a Windows user)

Hi! To expand on #20 there is a lot of stuff going on but like you said most of it is SEO spam.

It is further hampered by planned obsolescence and the increasingly fast pace that new products are released at. It is very difficult and expensive to maintain actual experience with everything in a product space.

It can't be crowd sourced either because most people are overly attached to their purchases and can't give objective comparisons between something they don't own.
Laws affecting websites, such as accessibility laws and GDPR-like privacy laws need to be made very carefully, and I feel like they haven't been. They cover every website, from the largest Fortune 500 website to the smallest Little Johnny's HTML Homework Assignment page. I worry that future selective enforcement of these laws could stifle smaller websites that someone disagrees with. "That's a nice website you have criticizing <government> or <corporation>, would be a shame if we brought up all the laws you aren't 100% in compliance with..."
I do something similar. I wash my mouth twice a day with listerine ultra-clean, which contains 20% alcohol. I leave it in my mouth for about 2 minutes and push my teeth together to get the mouthwash into the gums. This has a funny side effect of killing bacteria that is in the plaque on the teeth. Their remains stain the outer layer, but it comes off easily and makes removing the plaque really easy.

I also don't eat anything with added sugar and I take supplements, amino acids, enzymes, extra vitamin d, calcium, chelated magnesium to keep calcium from building up in arteries.

A filling became brittle and fell out about 18 years ago. I completely ignored it. I've had zero problems with my teeth since and have not returned to a dentist since then.
I'd rather not give the institution for privacy reasons. I'm majoring in computer programming as part of a Bachelor's in Computer Science.

I have been interested in eugenics for a long time. At any moment I could really only be a seed round away from putting together a founding team and building out a dating service.

Agreed. I was definitely rifting on the mini-block molded shape and its appeal, rather than on the existing business. While there might be a small market for a food-safe block mold, it would lack the competitive barrier of the concrete mix, and of the community context. Though... if it turned out to be easy to make the existing mold product food-safe, I imagine that community might find it fun? Though perhaps a distraction from a "focused excellence" vibe.

There is pretty much overwhelming research that people are more productive and healthy at work when they have some privacy and don't have distractions. One example - a study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology of more than 40,000 workers in 300 US office buildings:

"...Enclosed private offices clearly outperformed open-plan layouts in most aspects of IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality), particularly in acoustics, privacy and the proxemics issues. Benefits of enhanced 'ease of interaction' were smaller than the penalties of increased noise level and decreased privacy resulting from open-plan office configuration."

This article talks about some of the other research on the health effects and other effects on productivity:

https://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/the-open-office-...

>...and the answer is to find a workspace that suits you, not try to apply the work environment that works for you to the entire industry.

Unfortunately, the trend seems to be to apply the open office design to all environments which is hurting people. The best environments I have seen are when there are individual offices with plenty of open areas and conference rooms for people to meet.
Thank you! Sounds like a great fit, ping me if you have any questions down the road (my email is just matt at our domain).

Azure Media Services (and other, similar products such as Amazon's media offerings, etc) is a suite of products that ultimately take you from ingesting a video to playing it back, but you're going to do a lot of gluing together parts to get there. While gluing those parts together you're making a lot of decisions around formats, encoding, etc, and let's be honest...those probably won't get revisited soon enough. Our system makes those decisions on the fly based on actual performance data for your viewers.

When you ingest an asset into Mux, we give you a playback ID that's playable in seconds (which, at least imo, is very cool on its own), and you can just use that in your players and go back to making amazing video portals. You can also use that same ID to do things like request smart thumbnails immediately (had to plug that because I spent _way_ too much time on that part of the marketing website).

We do some really cool things behind the scenes around how we encode the assets just-in-time, CDN switching, etc, but ultimately the goal is that you can just wire our API into your CMS and think less about encoding minutia.

Hope that helps!
I'm not too surprised to hear that. In fact, I'd say a top score on Kaggle is probably a pretty positive indicator. Yeah, refining the model probably isn't as big a deal in a real project as it is on Kaggle, but it still takes some decent chops to get a good score like that.

My best was somewhere in the top third, so I'm not an especially strong Kaggle competitor. But even that took a lot of data parsing, piping, cleaning, moving some things to a database, populating a model, and parallelizing the processing so I could things on a cloud in an hour rather than 100 hours on my laptop. I learned a lot from it.

If you can score high on Kaggle, you definitely have some skill. And it's hardly like people who can do this never have the other skills necessary to manage the other stages of a data science project.

I probably wouldn't hire someone purely on Kaggle scores, but sure, it's a positive indicator of programming and data management ability.
In the first link, the Qataris were arming the rebels with their own money, the US just wasn't stopping them. Though I take your point that the US, to a certain extent, favored the rebels.

I would give "ethical pass" when when law is forcing you to do something unethical. When you have choice between ethics and law (and it is important big ethical thing).

I don't give "ethical pass" for not following law where you merely disagree with law or find it pointless or an obstacle to more money.

There is also difference between "breaking law" and "not joining effort to enforce the law". Again, if I find the law bad it might be unethical to join effort to enforce it, but it might still be fully ethical to follow the law and unethical to break it. For example, unnecessary hygiene food regulation.

Easy to see extreme example of law to break would be anti-jew law or fugitive slave law or something like that. The point is that breaking law is ok not merely when you disagree with law, but when it forces you to break ethics. Not just when you benefit from breaking it.

I love 1Password and have used it for years.

But be aware that they are moving to cloud storage for password data. At this point, you're not forced in to it (and they've made no concrete announcement yet), but that's pretty clearly where they want to go.

Perhaps that's acceptable to you; I'll be moving off at that point. But in any case, it is something to be aware of when choosing something like this - moving between password managers is a hassle.

As I said, it depends on the area you are working in. Haskell does have some good libraries.

Please don't take it personally, I was attempting to explain those features that you mentioned to others who might read our posts (perhaps wishful thinking).

I try to promote Haskell whenever I can because it has been enormously successful in everything I have applied it to and needs all the help it can get. It doesn't have a billion dollar company behind it, just a small community of mostly volunteers.
I use KeePass 2.x (can't be arsed switching to KeepassXC), but I absolutely second Keepass2Android. It supports a whole host of backends, which includes SFTP - great it you want to securely keep your password DB online without using a 3rd party service (e.g. Dropbox).
It could be interesting though: Phelbas was neat because it introduced the Culture from the POV of an outsider who hated them, and even sometimes admitted that his hate could sometimes be irrational.
