Interesting. I bought a "real" netgear switch a few years back (geared to the small business market) and did some tests with jumbo frames enabled, and saw only a slightly under 10% difference in performance pushing 10GB files from my laptop to my NAS.

Everything else was consumer level though. I did ensure that everything was flipped to jumbo frames. I/O shouldn't have been the factor since it was SSD on both sides.

To be clear, I'm not talking about a subscription where you're locked in for a minimum of 12 months or whatever. I could cancel any of the gym memberships I've ever had with only one month's notice. I just never did. (Because if it occurred to me to think about canceling, I'd say, "No, I really should start going. I'm going to start going. Yep, I definitely am." And then not go.)

Well, you're not exactly a "sample size one".

When you say "a lot of people" you also presumably witnessed, interacted with, talked to, and watched, other people that do the same.

I can e.g. say "a lot of people have iPhones in NY" just from walking around in Manhattan, even though I never read any particular study.

Seeing people and seeing that many of which you see everyday do X is still sampling.

The state of technology reporting in the mainstream press really makes me despair sometimes.

The BBC have always been awesome, especially with their R&D. I used to work at a manufacturer of teletext inserters years ago so we met with lots of BBC people - they had 4K before anybody had heard of it, as well as the work on the Dirac codec.

There's something about broadcast stuff i'd love to work with again. Even just a broadcast mixing desk jogwheel was a league above anything i've ever DJd with, the engineering to make it feel correct was amazing. I'd imagine these days moving to IP it's more of a challenge I can step up to. Are the BBC hiring devops people...?
Sounds like you don't value twitter that much, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if it did. Unless you reuse that password for anything, but I'm sure that's not the case. You could always delete the account if you're no longer using it, although your use of the word "actively" makes me think you might be using it for oauth or keeping it for other purposes.
Changed mine, just logged back in to this warning:

When you set a password for your Twitter account, we use technology that masks it so no one at the company can see it. We recently identified a bug that stored passwords unmasked in an internal log. We have fixed the bug, and our investigation shows no indication of breach or misuse by anyone.

> You can substitute "Bay Area" with many of the major centers in the US at this point - Seattle, LA, Denver, Austin all have the same issues, they're just a few years behind the Bay.

Not the same issues. Seattle doesn't have anything like Prop 13, or nearly as bad height restrictions. City residents and council are much more supportive of upzoning than SFBA — as in, it actually happens.[0]

Plenty of actual issues, and development still lags demand. But the situation is not nearly as dire as SFBA, and it's not getting worse quite as fast.

No. The "dangerous idea" is that design might not require a designer.

As for the first replicator, we simply do not yet know how (or even when) that came about, though random chance does seem likely. So I guess if you add enough layers of "built the machine that..." then you do end up with pure randomness (probably). But I would conjecture that there's a lot less "informational distance" between the cosmos and the first replicator than there is between the first replicator and Adam Yedidia.
More relevant, it has made it economically unattractive for municipalities to zone for or approve housing construction (housing is a net loser generally because of school district costs, and Prop 13 just torpedoes future school funding) and only allow commercial or office development. That's why cities with market power in the Valley (Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale) have 3+ jobs per resident.
This is a great explanation.

Is this problem useful for anything? I've seen multiple variations of these prisoner problems now, and I can never remember any being useful in other contexts.

They are radically different. Corn is the textbook example of a commodity while land is the textbook example of a positional good.

You could sell any realistic amount of gourmet popcorn without affecting the supply of corn nor the price of other popcorn products, while selling housing affects the supply of land and the desirability of that housing stock.
If your company believes you can telecommute, it's not a small step for them to eventually believe that you can be outsourced more inexpensively.
The fix for imposter syndrome is to stop comparing one's self to others.

The definition of an imposter is: "a person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others, especially for fraudulent gain."

So, if you feel you're an imposter, it's only because you're comparing yourself to others who you feel are either doing it better than you in their respective roles, or perhaps worse still you fear they could do your job better than you.

In my experience, as a man with a semi successful software business and no formal education in the industry - the only thing that has kept me from falling under the imposter syndrome bus is just working harder and ignoring others around me.

I love this snippet I saved from a Reddit post some years ago, I come back to it from time to time when I've demotivated myself - typically by comparing myself to others more "successful" than me:

--

You do not make progress in climbing a "mountain" (neither real or ethereal) by standing around gawking and whining about how much further or faster others are climbing it.

You make progress climbing by putting one foot in front of the other, minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day.

You gauge your progress ONLY and SOLELY on how much further up that mountain you are NOW than you were a minute, hour or day ago.

As you continue to climb, you use the distance you have recently come to motivate yourself to climb further and faster than YOU have done in the past.

You only need worry about others when they are directly in your way and preventing you from making forward progress -- and even then it is best to simply sidestep them and continue on your journey up.

When you reach some higher plateau, if you then want to take a breather and greet the fellow climbers that have reached a similar plateau, that is fine, but it does not matter if they have reached it faster or slower, before or even after you -- the journey further upward for everyone is in the future, not the past.

Should food grown with natural fertilizer say "Created with feces!" On the package?

Similarly, someone might not know what canola is - they may know it by the name rape. And some people avoid it - maybe the package should say "Warning! Rape oil."

Certainly that's additional truthful information, but it's also more misleading, not less.

Sinilarly, because the average person (maybe including yourself, judging by your complaint) does not know how nuclear physics works, a clearer statement on packaging would actually cause more people to believe incorrect things.
Turns out you don't have to be self-interested or rich to be a NIMBY. Plenty of poor people don't really have a good grasp on supply and demand.

> First, as the positive programme in x-phi shades into psychology and vice versa, some have asked: is experimental philosophy really philosophy?

Science is essentially a branch of philosophy ('Natural Philosophy), so in the broadest possible sense, yes. But I don't think what they are doing sounds like philosophy in the sense that most people would use it. It sounds like psychology. Which is fine! Psychology, after all, grew out of philosophy to begin with. I don't know why there should be a wall built up between the two fields.

Think about the dawn of computer science as another example. A lot of the foundational work was done by people who would have considered themselves philosophers, and most of the work firmly remained in philosophical and mathematical journals until people started physically realizing their work in the new machines, and then it became 'engineering' and 'science'. There's not a fine line where one guy was doing philosophy and another guy started doing 'computer science'. It was a gradual shift.
> There is massive opposition within the poorer, non-white bay area community to the political group that Stripe is funding here. CA YIMBY literally shouted down minority activists who were opposed to a housing bill at a recent protest.

While no group is homogeneous in beliefs, polling very clearly shows that minority groups strongly support increased housing construction. (As does an overall majority of Californians.) On the micro level, groups like The 200 (community leaders of color) and experts like Richard Rothstein (author of Color of Law) have endorsed CA YIMBY's pro-housing policy work. See more at https://cayimby.org/endorsement/fair-housing-advocates/.

CA YIMBY was not involved in the protest you mention. I think you're confusing them with other groups.
I've seen this scenario unfold before:

1. User provides username/password.
2. An exception occurs somewhere.
3. The stack trace from the exception is logged.
4. The stack trace includes the credentials.
5. The exception ends up in a ticketing system (Trac, JIRA, etc.)
6. Nobody notices for years.
They do; you just don't hear about them if you mainly get your news from pro-YIMBY sources, which love to misrepresent their opposition as exclusively old, white NIMBYs. In fact it is CA YIMBY that is mostly white.

The DSA has a detailed stance on this which lays out what they want in a pro-housing bill.[1] Well worth a read.

> Some well-meaning progressive people who don't understand supply and demand are fooled by such arguments, [...]

For the laws of supply and demand to be accurate they require that only quantity and price changes. The housing market in popular areas, other than being inelastic, tends to suffer from demand shifts. There is nothing in economics saying that building more housing can't result in neighborhoods being less affordable.
That's not CA YIMBY's ED. CA YIMBY was not involved in that protest.

Brian Bagnall’s “Commodore: A Company On the Edge” covers the history of the PET, VIC-20, and C64. There was no master plan that anyone could stick to for more than six months (the management stories are horrifying) and the C64 was a last minute whiptogether. They didn’t have enough time to add the better BASIC that they’d already developed on another project, so it shipped with the same lousy BASIC as the VIC-20 had. If you fondly remember Commodore from those days, the book is worth reading. It made me appreciate how much was achieved despite an inadequate CEO and board.
Many of twitter's services use this: https://github.com/twitter/finatra
many reasonable architectures funnel the request body through multiple middlewares before it reaches the code that actually needs the password. there are so many places that request data can be logged in any reasonable system. this is completely ordinary. it's not like there's a special HTTP mechanism for transmitting passwords that keeps it out of the normal code flow. it's in the request. if you log requests, you're probably going to end up accidentally logging something you're not supposed to at some point.

I find it hard to believe that "poor non-white people" have the political clout necessary to block SB 827 and housing in general, nor would it serve their interests. I think this is a false flag being proposed and the people against housing are mostly long term residents that don't want to see change because it will get rid of their current under-market pricing housing.

Hmmm, I found /lots/ of documentation, but lots of gaps. For example, I still have no idea how many rings, how many queues and how many cores I should use for my packet forwarding app. Presumably there's a mental model I need to learn here. It's among the first thing any DPDK user needs to know. It's not the first thing in the docs. In the examples, its magic numbers all the way with no explanation. eg http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/sample_app_ug/skeleton.html

Also, I can't find a hello world like "send a packet" application, and it's complement of "receive a packet", only forwarding apps. That's not great when I'm trying to test if my config works.

I still don't know how many huge pages I need to reserve. The quick start guide says 64:

> Yet his philosophy changed it largely for the worst: the 40% of humanity who lived under Marxist regimes for much of the 20th century endured famines, gulags and party dictatorships.

"Marxist" is not the same as "Communist." A subtle distinction, perhaps, but one would think it would be an important one in an article like this.
If you want to blame state law for not setting aside enough low-income housing, it seems to me that the original sin was the zoning powers that the state conferred to local governments a hundred years ago. SB 827 itself would have taken back minimal powers from local governments—namely, the right to set arbitrarily restrictive height limits, single-family density restrictions, and parking minimums near transit. Of course, SB 827 could have included any number of additional changes (e.g. eviction reform, low-income funding, tax reform, price controls), but these are each worthwhile policies in and of themselves and are complementary to SB 827, not opposed to it.
I highly recommend using a password manager. I finally bit the bullet and started using 1Password a few weeks ago, and I haven't looked back since. It's just so much better than having to remember a thousand different passwords.

Besides securely managing passwords, you can also use a password manager to secure your digital legacy. 1Password has a feature where you can print out "emergency kit" sheets that has the information required to access your password vault. I printed out two of these sheets and gave them to trusted family members in sealed envelopes. In the event that I become incapacitated, they will be able to access my accounts.

I'm not really inspired by scifi - but I'm sure some authors have had similar and probably much wilder ideas.

Been thinking for years about the human body as a cybernetic attack surface with no engineered cyberdefense. Most people seem not able to make that mental leap; no, the human body can't behave like a vulnerable Windows 95 machine giving kernel privileges to any ActiveX control it can download, because reasons.

But once you see the biological world like a hacker and DNA like a programming medium, as opposed to a representation of what evolution produced, an endless array of nefarious possibilities become obvious. The rational power of our minds far exceeds what evolution could ever concoct - or defend against.
I hear what you're saying, but I think — in this case — the article's just giving too much irrelevant information. I think most mainstream users I know would understand it if it were written something like:

They shouted them down because their concern is stupid. Opening up more housing will allow more people of all kinds to move in. All it does is shift the price curve down. How much it shifts down depends on how much more housing you allow.
Good point. The commenter is (fairly) looking down on the specific category of get-rich-quick clowns, but there is an equally large number of "big idea" startup-bozos in the tech world. It's a similar delusion but articulated in a different way.
