The purpose of sarcasm is to mock someone, I am not mocking anyone. What is odd now: why do you think I care to lie to you about this? I am telling you what the joke is, why do you need to be offended?

As said, assume you are correct: that is a very odd way to interpret the huge corpus of jokes about misinterpretation...as the point of those jokes is, often, that interpretation is personal.

And your understanding of irony is not correct. Effect is a particularly odd word to use: irony is a rhetorical device, no device dictates effect. Perhaps you meant meaning, and the point of irony is that the ironic statement has multiple meanings.

Your example is terrible. I refer to you my original comment, which was ironic. I also refer you to your own comment: lecturing someone about the meaning of their statement whilst failing to understand that meaning, is also an example of irony...but I don't get offended about misinterpretations.
The problem with coming “to the realization that they have re-implemented TCP” is that it was ad-hoc. In this situation, the re-implementation was done by people very familiar with TCP, both its strengths, weaknesses, and assumptions, who very deliberately set out to “re-implement” TCP to work better with how are networks actually are configured.
Well, you could be the one to do it.

Taking down an incumbent is hard, though. Might need deep pockets for a while.
Snap Inc Q4 Earnings: User-base stabilised at 186M and shrinks losses in Q4
#visits isn't what matters when judging competency, amount of revenue/spending for the quality is. How much revenue do they have? They have only less than 1% of the valuation of Google
This approach to web performance smacks of someone who has never had to build an app under real world conditions. "It will be smaller if you rewrite your app to be AMP-first. No, scrap that, the PRPL pattern is in, we'll hold the PWA rewrite for next week" are not viable solutions for engineers at companies that aren't Google.

Try telling your marketing department that they can't integrate third party scripts through Google Tag Manager, or a VP that the SDK for that third party service they championed is too large and the project will have to be shelved. Or put a pause on a critical project because the application is approaching the hardcoded JS limit and another department shipped before you did.

Hardcoded limits are the first tool most people reach for, but they fall apart completely when you have multiple teams working on a product, and when real world deadlines kick in. It's like the corporate IT approach to solving problems — people can't break things if you lock everything down. But you will make them miserable and stop them doing their job.
The companies are not going to do that sort of thing out of kindness. It's up to society to set up the appropriate tax regime.
I think Vivaldi is one of the most configurable browsers out there but that doesn't really answer your question. Or maybe I'm not quite understanding the question. Opera used to have everything added-in by default (mail, vpn, etc) but not sure if that's still the case with their move to a Chromium base.

I think there are a number of companies building modular homes. IKEA has a join venture with a construction company for example [0]. Just that construction isn't generally the problem. We know how to build relatively cheaply.

In another book titled "Never split the difference" the author distincts empathy and sympathy. You can be empathic aka. understand how and why the other person feel. This helps you understand the other person and ask the right questions. You don't necessarily have to agree with it (sympathy).

Both have an important role in your connections with other people but its useful if you learn to separate them.

And that's fine. I absolutely can't stand the new layout, so if that happens I'll stop using it. Probably not good for their metrics for a 13 year user of the service to stop using it I'd guess. I don't even block ads on it. And I sometimes click them if they're relevant (which, lets face it, they are these days).
In an increasingly consolidated social media space, I'm so glad Reddit still exists as an independent entity. At this point I consider their independence patriotic.
I tried to highlight examples that are available on Mac, Linux, and Windows through the package managers, (homebrew, apt, chocolatey) and at least provided system-specific installation lines for each based on those. It is highly command-line and pure-text centric.

5x reduction? Heck, you'd struggle to find common libraries that fit under those existing limits! jQuery is 88kb (Yes everyone can hate on jquery all you want, but it's still commonly used), which is already over the 50kb limit! At 10kb...

Modern camera's take pictures measured in megabytes, and you're suggesting the per image max be 200kb, and total images to be 400kb?! Two crappy quality images would blow that out of the water (Heck a single crappy image could).

I get that this is a prototype, and seems to be intended for mobile devices, etc. But those limits are already something you'd have to work for, I'd argue it's near impossible at 5x less resources.

tl;dr by todays standards a 5x reduction in those limits is just code golf.

Non-fiction: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman is a book I think about time and time again.

Fiction: Cat’s Cradle by Vonnegut and Ender’s Game by Card have been transformative.
Darkness at Noon, by Arthur Koestler, is another allegorical book about the Russian Revolution, more specifically the Moscow trials that followed. The book had a strong impact on me.
I know next to nothing about this space, but I'm curious whether the cheekiness of the name is worth the confusion it inevitably brings (as a fan of generally cheeky things).
I'm about halfway through "War and Peace" right now, and am amazed at how much life Tolstoy packs into the book. So many amazing scenes, and pithy characters. What's striking me now is both the characters' greatness mixed with their weakness. There's something to me inexplicable about my admiration of Pierre, Natasha, Count Rostov etc., but interesting how as the book continues their faults are revealed. Also, the timeless conflicts/themes/impetus of money, politics/social hierarchies or groups, marriage, etc.

It's a loan with no interest (meaning you actually keep the interest). It's a better deal than buying one cash since you can invest the money you are not using.

It also alleviates the company from ever having to pay out unused vacation time. That is a disadvantage for the employee, but with a tremendous upside.

I also have unlimited PTO and I definitely prefer it. No more worrying about hours, rollover limits, accumulation rate, how far I can go negative, etc. No more wading through vacation schedules wondering if the office is open on New Years Eve.

Same thing with free lunches - yeah, of course it keeps people in the office and possibly causes them to subconsciously work longer. But also...I get a free freaking lunch and I don't have to worry about it.
I care not. The copyright cartel consistently views profit over human freedom of expression. They, and their bought out politicians, must be called out for their avarice.
One can dream... Linux would've replaced Windows by now if that happened.
Which doctors, exactly, are you referring to when you say "these doctors you are talking about"?

What makes you think both my doctors don't have clinical experience? (I never stated, you never asked. As it turns out, they both do.) You've turned this conversation into a pissing match about whose doctor is best, which is too petty for me, so this will be my last post in response to you.

> Many of the practitioners aren't even psychiatrists

> ketamine docs want you to see a psychiatrist because they don't want to deal with you

So a ketamine doc that isn't a psychiatrist is bad, in your opinion. And also any ketamine doc who realizes that the situation he's treating requires psychiatry for optimum outcome, recognizes they lack said experience, and makes you go to someone with that experience, is also bad? I'm sorry, but your posts reek more of an anecdotal agenda rather than... science. So, I'm done.
Surprisingly good reporting for Buzzfeed, I much prefer this sort of long-form article to their usual "junk food" stories.
Undergraduate here, and I tend to agree.
I used to learn a lot of material online using all the sites, blog posts, videos, visualizations, etc I could find... But as time has gone on Ive realized that most flashy materials, are less helpful that just spending some time with a single good book on a topic.
It is unbelievable what, to this day, is still directly connected to the Internet. Everything from pharmacy prescription systems, to large cargo ships in the middle of the pacific, to dam control systems.

Shodan is an awesome tool.
Seconding some other users: the battery life on the XR is phenomenal. I upgraded from an iPhone 6, which even with the $29 battery replacement couldn't last till the afternoon with heavy use. Now, with the XR, I've stopped feeling the need to carry a backup battery with me, and I rarely even use my charger at work.

It's quite possibly the only product Apple makes today that Steve Jobs might approve of. Maybe that, and the AirPods.
Strangely relevant, I found Alexander Payne's 2017 movie "Downsizing" (starring Matt Damon) [1] interesting. Too bad, critics' reviews are mixed.

That is a fair observation. To clarify, you think that makes it harder to find political solutions because people don't feel they are "in it together"?
There's a simple solution - legalize everything and see how it pans out.
Due to its simplicity and truthfulness for me: Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi.

Not only did it help me see that no matter how accomplished/famous/old someone is, there is the demystifying shared thing that we all do, but also humbled me when I get too full of my skills or experience with anything in life. It’s a pretty silly thing but always pops in my mind and changes my behavior almost instantly.

Obviously it didn’t change the way I think about everything but changed the way I think about everything with people and social situations.
It seems highly unlikely that he's going to be allowed entry at this point. Something or someone has put a red flag on his account and they're just slow rolling him now. Could be an error, could be a totally stupid reason, but the system isn't setup to allow oversight so we won't know. It's not likely he's going to see any relief from the current administration.
Very true. Except blaming others when their own elected officials made this happen over and over and over over decades is the issue I have with this.
And the most creative distribution IMO: NixOS isn't even mentioned.
In similar veins, his 'A Conflict of Visions' and 'The Vision of the Anointed' are two stunning incisive books that show pretty directly why we are where we are now, as divided as we are now. Likely corresponds strongly with Haidt's 'The Righteous Mind', referred to elsewhere in this topic.
The Fellowship of the Ring. JRR Tolkein

"Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

Resonates with me in real life a lot.
It's also common on a lot of mobile devices as well -- iOS can actually vary the refresh rate on a device from 30Hz (energy-efficient) to 60hz ('standard') upto 120Mhz ("ProMotion") and I'm sure Android probably does this also.

They dont need to throw huge amounts of money at it. Reddit was much much better a few years ago. Its next to useless now.
There are currently no publicly trusted CAs participating in such a scheme. If there were, it'd be trivially detectable due to the millions of fraudulent certificates showing up in Certificate Transparency logs.
Yeah the bigger subreddits tend to be bad for meaningful discussion and have a lot of deplatforming and trolling. That said the smaller niche subreddits dedicated to a parituclar specialization tend to be better. I really got a lot our of r/ppc for internet marketing. I found that r/candlemaking was a great subreddit for the niche hobby. I think it's a bit like real life, things that are popular tend to attract trolls and megalomaniacs while small, niche and technical things tend to attract a better group of people. y.

The only downside is that maybe these niche communities would have done better as individual forums existing on the open web rather than as a part of reddit's walled garden.
With articles like this, I often to take out the horrible thing that the company is doing and post the quote to Hacker News, to give a sense of the scale of the issue; in this case me trying to do so would require including the majority of the article. It’s that bad. And yes, apparently the company thought it was ok for the COO to physically assault security researchers at a conference.
Casinos have such a large attack surface that they should be thanking anyone and everyone who exposes any vuln.
Your argument from authority doesn't really add any weight here.

We have already mostly solved the problem by playing whackamole for a few years. Ublock mostly have things solved now. Sure some lists are over the top but for the most part it just works.

Maybe you're just jaded and thing it's too "user land" or something but from my perspective the browser should be urging developers toward non shitty user experiences.

Because I know the ad pushers are basically never content with n-1 ads.

Native server side ads would be brilliant by the way. The ad quality drastically shoots up when the buyers have to trust the people pushing their ads.

OMG, the amount of hate in here, it's so disturbing! I know we're all entitled to our opinions, but this is quite depressing. Reddit has been such an incredible space for me to discover myself and adds tremendous value to my life. I for one celebrate that they are growing and look forward to a long future together.

Possibly... I'm just concerned about yet another layer to have to be far more concerned about than I already am. I really enjoy building applications. I'm pretty good at systems and orchestration to an extent, but would rather not have to focus too much.

Going from using an application framework that's more abstracted, such as ASP.Net (not mvc/api/core) to those where you are closer to the metal (node, python, .net core/mvc/api) was a jump.

Thinking in terms of leveraging push with HTTP/2 alone has me concerned. The tooling around building web applications hasn't even caught up to the current state of being, let alone moving farther. Another issue is dealing with certificates against local/internal development in smaller organizations. It may get interesting, and it may get more interesting than it's actually worth in some regards.
A very top-down utilitarian way of thinking about it. So what if there is wasted effort, people want to do that, so they do.
Thank you for asking this! I honestly never considered it before as we offer a free trial up front to combat refunds and make it harder to refund; but it makes perfect sense after reading all the other answers and has changed my mind completely.
>You could argue our current president had a pretty cushy childhood.

I think this kind of proves my point, people with cushy childhoods seem to turn out not great. I'd imagine he'd be a more effective leader if he spent more time overcoming adversity.

The ease of the calculation tree in Excel versus having to keep track of what cells in a notebook you have updated was a large part of why we built and open-sourced Loman [1]. It's a computation graph that keeps track of state as you update data or computation functions for nodes. It also ends up being useful for real-time interfaces, where you can just drop what you need at the top of a computation graph and recalculate what needs updating, and also for batch processes where you can serialize the entire graph for easy debugging of failures (there are always eventually failures). We also put together some examples relevant to finance [2]

I always had that feeling, that while she was a few steps ahead, on the outset of the journey through one of her worlds- neither me nor her knew where this would end.

Without evidence, it's hard to see these takes and articles as much more than "old man yells at sky about how messed up kids are" or, at best, the neutral interpretation that "kids are adapted to the world they're raised in".

I remember reading a NYTimes article that used the fact that we don't know our friend's phone numbers anymore as evidence that younger generations have deficient memories. How stupid. I live in a world where I don't need to have them memorized. It is not because I am deficient.
It was a funny book in that he introduced very few facts about the world that I didn't already know, but that he tied all of it together so well. I find that I'm a much more empathetic and rational person whenever I try to frame my opinion of something/someone the way Harari would.
Fwiw, cryptocurrencies need that kind of engineering approach. They are resource-constrained in a different way than embedded systems.

In embedded systems the resource constraints are known more or less exactly, and you work within those constraints to fit in as much capability as possible.

With cryptocurrencies operating in a heterogenous open network, it's never clear exactly what resources are available, only that there's a tradeoff between resource consumption and security (eg, tamper resistance of the shared ledger/datastore).

The more resources consumed by the protocol/client, the fewer are the users with the hardware capable of running it, the more clients and miners migrate to data centers and larger professional operations. Centralization increases the odds that a single entity/cartel/attacker can disrupt the network.

Cryptocurrencies that are extremely efficient can run on a wider variety of hardware, resulting in greater inclusiveness, participation and tamper resistance via decentralization. A major area of research is how to reduce resource consumption in these systems and keep them decentralized and tamper resistant.

The effectiveness of ketamine for depression is all about the state it puts your mind in. This is obvious because the drug itself has totally left your body shortly after administration, but the effects can last much longer. In this respect you can think of it as your mind actually healing itself, by being induced to by the ketamine, rather than the ketamine itself impacting your brain's structure. This is different from most conventional psychiatric medicine where the drugs need to build up and remain in your system over very long periods of time to be effective.

Optimizing the dose & duration to get your mind into that state, and for the right amount of time, makes a huge difference in how long the effects last. This is why I prefer using an actual doctor with ketamine depression treatment experience, because they have experience figuring out the right dose & duration for you.

Gibson's "The Peripheral." Not just a prescient story, but a veiled commentary on how easily we're using technology as a proxy for being there, and all the psychological changes that come along for the ride. "Neuromancer" was meh for me, but this one really reads well on all levels.
I just finished reading this and loved it! As someone without much preexisting knowledge about the course of the revolution or anyone involved other than the Tsar and the main Bolsheviks, I found it to be very accessible and engaging. You really get a sense of the personalities of the main actors, especially Lenin.
The problem is that the expectation of being able to transfer this stuff over is more hype driven than anything else. People hear "AI beat the best person in the world at something intellectually hard" and think that it should be smarter than people in other ways too.

That doesn't diminish work on playing games. If they had released a chess or go challenge where the board is just bigger or more pieces, that would be dumb. But this challenge is a game that is a tiny bit closer to real "problems that people care about." Solving this won't get us to problems that people care about either, but it'll get us closer. It's only an incremental step, but that's okay.
