I've had this over time with work, school, etc; I get along great with people, but the moment I move on to another school or another job or whatever, I lose contact.

I'm not the type to reach out to people or offer to hang out, and given I don't get similar invitations, I guess others aren't like that OR there's an air about me that indicates I wouldn't appreciate it. Which is probably not wrong, I mean my infrequent meetups with my childhood friend are awkward at best, we watch a movie and have a chat or something but that's it.
Not any more. A man was arrested not too long ago for carrying a potato peeler.
Exactly. In the old days of the web, the ads were banners on sites that had related content. Just like newspapers. Clickable is actually good.

Google had the idea to monetize search based on the hypothesis that if people are searching then they're looking to buy something. That didn't really work out: conversion rates are super low, even for free stuff- apparently less than direct mail. So things got more and more intrusive. And spammy. It's time to stop. It's really really time to stop.
Don't really know what's going on with this. Now when I just disable uMatrix and ublock origin, I still get that redirect loop and I'm just not able to use Jira/Confluence. Luckily I don't need to use these products that often, so when I read something I just use our Slack bot to see the ticket.
But it is. It tries to argue that other concurrency models are bad, because they do not look like shared memory multithreading. Even though other concurrency models actually aim for something different than shared memory multithreading to at least get away from its flaws.
Just because you may need to supplement your supply doesn’t mean “storage doesn’t matter.”

With storage you need less supply and you can supplement your supply when rates are lowest.

It's a hallmark of slow moving platforms: the investment in time is such that by the time you need something like Core Erlang you will know exactly where to place it. Erlang is not exactly beginner friendly (in spite of some effort in that direction) and it is a strange beast in many ways compared to what counts for 'modern'. Even so it has stood the test of time well and embodies a lot of the things that people are - reluctantly - rediscovering in its foundation rather than as belated add-ons.

Unequivocally yes.
That’s so sadly cynical & pessimistic. I’m glad there are politicians who don’t feel this way, and have optimism and energy to try to build a better future. If everyone gave up, things would be awful compared to what we have now.

Politics is very difficult because people are different and myopic and concerned for themselves, that is true. But that doesn’t mean people are assholes or full of hate, we just have different points of view. We’re physically incapable of not being self-centered, we don’t have a shared consciousness, so that will never change. Politics is the art of navigating many many legitimate and different and opposing points of view. If that turns into meting out hatred, then please please get out of politics.

BTW, here’s one actual study suggesting that people in general prefer optimism in politics. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/08/0...
Time was always with us and we have organs that regulate with circadian rhythms for example and brain is one of them. There are also processes regulated by daylight, so its fair to say it always mattered even if we didn’t have a reason to measure it
I have the same doubts about Bitcoin. If it's treated as an asset and not as a currency for exchange of value, how is this going to change the world? Is this expected behaviour as we humans are greedy? Or is this a failure of the system?
Did either job know you were doing this?
I disagree. United States department of defense, advanced research project agency and the software engineering institute at Carnegie-Mellon university disagree as well.

I'm very much inclined to defend their methodology and position on this since that is their core area of expertise, and I've experienced it working on a very large scale (tens of thousands of servers) rather than a bunch of hacking efforts at some company on the InterNet.

I haven't read all the frames, but I do know about what the author is talking about in the first few frames. Usually, such attackers are very much extroverted and thrive on attention. The way I deal with them is to simply ignore them in every way. I make sure they realize I am avoiding them. Often wear facial expression of contempt around them. Etc. This behavior really gets to the core of such attackers, especially if they are female. After a while, they do change their attitude and demeanor, but you can't go back to being nice again just yet because these people will gladly relapse. They are roundly defeated when they start avoiding you. Just my experience.

> I have a much easier time making friends who are in the 40s or 50s, or younger people in their 20s

There's also another reason for that: they don't have to take care of kids. Young singles and old empty-nesters are the best people to hang out with. Most people my age either have kids or are newlyweds, neither of which is conducive to hanging out with people.

Though I'd probably go with "50s or 60s" over "40s or 50s", just because older people are more likely to be empty-nesters. Or if their kids are still living with them, they're adults who don't need any kind of supervision.

That really ties in with another post I read a while ago - the running gags at weddings and such where the wife is referred to as "the ol' ball and chain", where the man's life is basically over and he's emasculated for life by the wife.

I mean all of those 'jokes' make it sound like a really unhealthy and abusive relationship. No wonder people don't get married as much anymore.

> Bill Gates, […] widely regarded as the crown prince of the World Wide Web

I've never heard him referred to as this; what a strange title. So the internet is a monarchy and Gates will one day inherit the crown?
I spent decades perfecting my code, never got anything worth mentioning done. To me it was important to realize that it's a way to escape reality, to protect the fuzzy bubble of intellectual masturbation. Truth is; if it doesn't work, no one cares; and rightly so. These days I try hard to stick with solving actual problems and continuously improving solutions; writing code like marathons rather than 100m sprints, growing it like a garden rather than constructing cathedrals.
I get that it's a race to the bottom, but lets redefine the bottom I guess. I'm afraid that as publishers react to the public being anti ads, we'll all forget the reasons ads became such an issue. We'll get more paywalls where self regulated respectable advertising may suffice.

Maybe that model won't work for some reason, I'd like to see some publishers talking about it though! It's either full on the google/fb tracking train or expensive monthly paywall.
One problem I've had with students who learn this way is when they hit C and C++, which (unfortunately) must not be learnt this way, as the behaviour of programs in the presence of undefined behaviour is very hard to learn and understand.

Nice write-up. Strikes me as a little strange to donate to charity as negative reinforcement though.

"Ad reinsertion". You're trying to bypass the user's self-determination on the web. Good luck, bozo.

Computer savvy users are never going to accept the web flashing, blinking, popping, interrupting, lagging.... And there will only be more of us in the future when the new generation grows up.

Where does it talk about other concurrency models at all? I just reread it to make sure I wasn't crazy.
This is the guide I used to set up my VPS: https://docs.traefik.io/user-guide/docker-and-lets-encrypt/

Basically you have all of your containers join the Docker network that your Traefik container is running on. Each container needs to expose a port (but not bind to the parent). The Traefik container will bind to port 80 on the parent. That guide should explain everything.

This is one of the problems with making decisions based on "data".

Obviously, the benefit of having users is not only in the profit from ads, but rather from having your site be popular, recommended to friends, posted in links in discussions, training Google's algorithms by people clicking on their search results, having people willing to subscribe to future paid services or buy future products, etc.

But since those things aren't measurable in the short term, they get completely discounted by naive businesspeople, with bad results like this.
"I swear we're going backwards in time to IE6 days when everyone built for just one browser and forgot that others existed."

It's even worse than that. The Internet grew in the hands of engineers who cared about functionality and compatibility first, then about profitability. About two decades ago the industry started turning tables (and later the smartphone boom helped to achieve that goal even more). Now every big player is looking to build its own proprietary environment to get the most users on so that they're forced to use that player resources; this is precisely the mindset the world wide web openness fought against.
Sadly they're now fighting back: if yesterday a browser could help to surf 10 sites, today you need 10 apps, each one closed source and doing who knows what under the hood. And this monstrosity is slowly sneaking into the non mobile world hidden behind catchy buzzwords and fancy graphics. Using "the cloud" to store documents and important data seems so cool, but is not that different from going back to the 60s world of dumb terminals and big mainframes where the mainframe owner decided if, how and when the user could access to his/her own data.
Both engineers and users are losing control and quite frankly I have no idea of what to do.

I don't think we have any proof that time is steady. It may just appear as steady. Much like clock based games way back when. You could speed up or slow down the clock rate and the game would be run the same. Only a external observer out side of the system would be able to detect the change.

It works for some, there is no doubt. I would believe that industry publications (transportation, forestry, etc.), and popular blogs, still make decent coin on selling print ads or sponsorships on the web.

It's different to the original post's comments. They are looking at a public audience with ad blockers.

Podcasts are a different affair altogether. I would love to see the numbers for those as I'm never in front of my computer when I listen to a podcast and I don't remember the ads long enough to followup even when I'm interested in the product.

Also, thanks for sharing that Gruber has a podcast!

Maybe what made Asian horses somewhat wary of Homo Sapiens when they showed up was their experience with previous migrations of hominids (Homo Erectus, Denisovans, Neanderthals). This would assume that these predecessors were less dangerous to horses than were the early humans in America, possibly because they were less widely or more thinly spread, or dispersed more slowly.

> You don't need a "diversity initiative", you just need leadership willing to enforce some very simple rules of civility. If a project doesn't have that leadership, then find one that does.

I find projects that seem to care enough to kick uncivil members out by the presence of a code of conduct (very basic document that says "we welcome people, harassment is bad folks" and points at a resolution process most of the time) and leadership that's willing to talk about the issues that members of the community face. There's no other way to tell whether a community will have my back, and yet that gets classed as a "diversity initiative".

> I'm not sure how your hacklab worked (is it privately owned, a non-profit, etc.? I don't know), but surely there was some upper management to complain to?

It's a small group, 30-odd members, completely bootstrapped. Eventually I managed to gain enough political capital to convince a couple of people to talk to him, and it was eventually resolved - not before a lot of harm was done.

> This sounds like a money problem to me. I've only seen a couple of hacklabs (and never got too involved) but basically they seemed to take over old buildings in a downtown area where the rent was really cheap (because the building was old), meaning these hacklabs didn't exactly have a lot of cash to spend on renovations.

Sure - but the point is that at the very least, we acknowledged this as an issue (and continue to do so every AGM) and kept an eye out for more accessible locations, rather than - as a union that a friend is part of and that has plenty of money is doing - ignoring the needs of their members despite having the capital. I believe the hacklab is moving to a more accessible location in the near future primarily due to the increased accessibility, despite it costing them a little more money and potentially needing to raise membership costs or spend effort on recruiting new members, which is great.

> It might be possible to identify them and raise their behavior with whatever organization they're representing (if any) at this conference.

That's a wonderful way to receive more harassment from a wider group, unfortunately. The only reason people get away with this crap is that when anybody tries to do something about it, they have enough political capital that they can have it waved away as someone wanting to hurt them. It's more painful to try and do something about it and then see the same person at the next conference anyway with no apparent resolution than to just try and heal privately.
