I wish! QoS could have been a good term to keep using if the existing deployments of it on the Internet it wasn't hopelessly mapped generally to mere packet prioritization (diffserv) which doesn't actually work on today's internet.

QoE is a better, less overloaded, in the "qualitative, perceived" sort of description.

So (after endless debates) - we defined SQM as as a superset of classic as-defined-for-internet QoS and hoped for the best. (https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Smart_Queu... )

There's been plethora of other trade names for what we do with htb+fq_codel - streamboost, adaptive qos, etc.

I like that eero, edgerouter, and openwrt and derivatives also call what we do sqm. It simplifies the discussion, and the core scripts for linux generically are available as the sqm-scripts on github.

I also hope we see more RFPs specifying RFC8290.
I think the Western myth that Buddhists are somehow all peaceful people who wouldn't hurt anything is debunked by events in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Yes, you can say "well, the Buddhists who attack minorities aren't True Buddhists", but that's the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

I'm aware that you can jump through a bunch of hoops to make something like that work on Linux, for ever single application individually, but I don't want to jump through a bunch of hoops so I'll just keep using Windows because it works and has much better hardware and software support. Linux desktops have had decades to convince the world that their way of doing things is better and part of the reason they haven't managed it, I think, is because they never listen to criticism and insist that their backwards and ancient unix ways of doing things are better like it's some kind of religion.

> I like Android for lots of things, but a model of safe and responsible software distribution it is NOT.

Bull. Every application you download from the appstore is sandboxed by default and there is effort put in to verifying that software isn't malicious. It doesn't always work for two reasons: Unlike Linux desktops, Android isn't actively hostile to proprietary non-opensource software, and people actually use it.

Linux repositories can, and have, had malware. Check google, it happened to Gentoo in 2010 (interestingly someone also recently put some into Gentoo's GitHub mirror) for instance. That's because it isn't essentially different from any other appstore, except that a whole lot more people use a much broader range of software from Android and iOS appstores, which also have a whole lot more desktop software.

Well, many isp-born devices are provided with that info by the ISP at connect time, so the hope has always been that during configuration they'd just pass (for example) "bandwidth 10mbit docsis" to the network setup routine. DSL modems also typically get this info at startup.

Every screen I guess is a touch screen in some regards, say pointer-n-clik screen. Many such screens are so overcrowded these days, that you are playing a game of "Kill this pop up" to consume original content.

Browser notifications, Newsletter, Follow on Social, Special offers, etc etc

Regarding touch screen mentioned in this piece, the problem is those who created the product never use it and never it in original usage conditions. Many ATMS machines are filled with alighment problems to over confusing options.

To my knowledge, every inflix operation in R has a corresponding function. Together with the pipe operator, this is really, really nice, and is kinda similar to what you propose, but perhaps the other way around, so to speak.

"I’m thinking of friends who get upset at learning the government is spying on everyone, who simultaneously post countless intimate details of their lives on Facebook (or Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, etc.)"

This is not a contradiction. When you post, you can choose, what informations get out. You have control. (in theory)

When you get spied on, you can't choose.
In other words, yes the whole world may see pictures of me and my friends (even though I don't post on those services), but I still don't share my bedroom insights nor pillow talk.
Requiring proposals and updates written down is a good idea. If you allow people to bring up an issue or proposal that they have not already written up in the meeting, someone always comes up with idea on the spot, and tries argue it as something well thought. If they are clever people they can throw the whole meeting off.

For the loudest voice in the room problem, speaking order that starts from the most junior and ends with the most senior member is the best (I think it's sometimes used in military). When junior members speak first it's easier for them when the boss has not given his opinion.

The problem is that ISP provided kit is built to a price, so will tend to have a more aenemic processor. Shaping high bandwidth needs CPU cycles, or better yet, hardware offloading.

Funnily enough, I've just got a firmware applied to my cable connection with Virgin Media in the UK that mitigates the Puma 6 issue on their provided DOCSIS 3 modem - it's eliminated buffer bloat as well, which is a nice side effect.

People are listening, Docsis 3.1 includes active queue management for instance, which goes a long way to preventing the issue.

It is not just about the interviews.

Google and others in the big five also evaluate "career trajectory".

That means you need to show continuous progression in your career as a non-entry-level hire. Someone who has reached a plateau in salary usually doesn't have that, a "grizzled" tech veteran won't be able to show continuous career progression after surviving ups and downs in the industry (layoffs, failed companies, career changes).

There are exceptions, of course, but those of us who are "olds" have to be more than just "good" to compete with younger talent in many (but not all) workplaces.

> If we take a worker today who earns the same wage, in inflation adjusted dollars, as a worker in, say, 1985, today's worker has a hugely increased standard of living, better healthcare, longer life expectancy, etc.

Is this actually true? In the US, healthcare costs in particular have outpaced inflation meaning that a worker earning the same in inflation-adjusted dollars is getting worse care. This is backed up by the fact that life expectancy has started to decline[1].

Finally, saying that "you're better off than 1985" does not address the fact that the economy has not just kept pace with inflation. That growth is going somewhere and it's not into the wages of the middle class. Inequality is not just bad for the people at the bottom. It has a tendency to destabilize politics as people realize that the game is rigged and swing towards the political extremes.

How Blockchain Fits into a 125 Year Old Conglomerate
I love street photography, but I just can't do it myself.

Taking photos of strangers just seems... wrong. Also I think as a an unatrractive guy with a camera I'm going to be automatically labelled as a creep taking photos of people on the street you don't know. There's also the problem of someone might accidentally think a kid was in the frame when they aren't... That's a can of worms I do NOT want to touch.

I think you can get some great photos but the potential grief isn't worth it for me.
Not on my connection. I would rather my UDP packet arrive 30ms late than not arrive - especially on high latency links where I want to process the packet before a 300ms round trip nack/retransmit has a chance to work.

I don't see any buffer bloat or excessive jitter on my home internet (at least on wired connection) on BT ftth.
My suspicion is that it isn't so much pumping capacity that's the issue but complexity.
Would you rather have a 1% chance of $100M/year or a 99% chance of $200k/year?

If all one thinks about is the math, they'd take the chance at 100M, because it is a higher number when multipled by the probability. But you can't pay a mortgage with a probability, and some folks want a mortgage (or other lifestyle features).

As a user I want API access to my data. As do a lot of people. I am going to be pissed if people like you cause everyone to stop offering APIs because they think people are two irresponsible to be trusted with access to their own data.

APIs provide us data freedom. They are a good thing.

The villain here is pretty clear to me is the company that is abusing your trust by withdrawing your money not the company providing the API.

It is educating people that is broken not that APIs. I don't know when we got to be so trusting that we "absentmindedly" give 10 companies access to our data by clicking straight through a permission dialog that clearly says what I am doing. But absentmindedness is not a good reason to put padding on everything and force everyone to wear kneepads.
Not sure why you think the problem lies with immigrants. Particularly in Denmark where, more often than not, you find the children of recent immigrants to be very strongly integrated.

Consider the possibility that the anti-immigrant hysteria has nothing to do with immigrants. Just like the Jews in 1940s Germany what you have are countries scapegoating a well-defined minority.

What's really going on? Likely it's a potent combination of wage stagnation, rising inequality, declining social welfare, and falling birth rates [1]. Anti-immigrant bias is just a plank here. Certainly if the Danish economy was growing like it was in the 60s you would not see so much "reasonable concern" about immigrants. (No, instead, then the government was importing immigrants as fast as possible.)

According to "view document size" from my firefox "web developer extension":

www.reddit.com: 4285 kb
old.reddit.com: 1888 kb
i.reddit.com: 802 kb

Im not 100% confident those stats are really getting everything on the page but it seems about right. Anyway, perhaps you are sensing that the junk/cruft to content ratio is rising.

Assuming 5 kWh per GB of data[1], and 14 billion reddit pageviews per month [2]

# i.reddit.com
5 kWh/GB x 1e-6 GB/KB x x 1e-9 TWh/kWh x 802 KB/view x 14e9 views/month x 12 months/year
= 0.67 TWh/year

# old.reddit.com
= 1.6 TWh/year

# www.reddit.com
= 3.6 TWh/year

So about 3 TWh extra electricity is being used each year. This is about the total used each year by Papua New Guinea, which is ranked 133/219 in electricity consumption by country.[3]

And for what? What did we gain from this?

That's what startup originally means. The term is watered down, but startup = growth and big failure rate.

Startup is not same as new company or new tech company.

http://www.paulgraham.com/growth.html

> A startup is a company designed to grow fast. Being newly founded does not in itself make a company a startup. Nor is it necessary for a startup to work on technology, or take venture funding, or have some sort of "exit." The only essential thing is growth. Everything else we associate with startups follows from growth.
That does not make sense.

The distances are so short that you would not have much attenuation from air at normal pressure / humidity.

I think we have to stop looking at productivity as a universal metric. Each person defines his own way of being productive. Some people subscribing to deep work only consider deep work as productive work. If I can just write code in my comfort zone for 2 hours should I consider that productivity ? I'm not sure.

From my experience, a lot of a founder's time is spent in non deep work. Taking calls, traveling, talking to users, understanding user feedback, writing product features and coding up some or most of the features. So the actual deep work is perhaps very limited - in desiging features and coding them up. How do you measure founder producivity when the tasks are so varied. IMHO such a measurement exercise is futile.
I've been looking into alphanumeric shorthand, it has the advantage of not learning new scripts or characters and easy with a keyboard. But then my keyboard layout (dvorak-iu) is not optimized for this and I have to redesign it as otherwise it might slow me down.

Yet another nice technique is using a specialized steno keyboard like Velotype keyboard (invented in my country)

"a first trickle of employees left. I asked, “Are these your VPs and senior managers?” He nodded looking surprised and kept watching. Then after another 10-minute pause, a stream of employees poured out of the building like ants emptying the nest. Rahul’s jaw dropped and then tightened. Within a half-hour the parking lot was empty."

Given the most-penalized people in this situation are Asian first or second-generation immigrants, I don't follow your point. Also, although I agree that part of the variation between recent immigrants and historically-forced immigrants is explained by societal disenfranchisement, another part of the explanation is that more recent immigrants (i.e. from Nigeria) are culturally more aligned with education, since that's how they got to be immigrants in the first place.

>The idea is that, if you can describe the problem (here, sorting) with a few lines, you don't have to prove that the Idris code is correct, because the machine do it for you

The machine can't show that your specification is correct, only that it's self consistent. What you're doing is writing a proof that the compiler will use to verify your code. However, if you make a mistake in your proof, then the compiler will happily verify the wrong thing.

The argument is that it's much harder to spot a mistake in a 300 line Idris proof than it is in a 5 line Python implementation.
