I am a extreme multiplexer, that means I switch between sound engineering, camera work, music composition, electronics, programming, writing, design etc.

First thing to realize is, that you won’t be able to do all things 100% at once. Usually that is okay, many activities benefit from some cool off period anyways (everything were perception matters — colors, sound, shape, etc).

Some activities require more uninterrupted time than others, for these it can make sense to dedicate fixed days or mornings to.

Some activities depend on inspiration, it usually doesn’t make much sense to forxe them into a schedule.

Treat off time also as an activity.
You make no mention of fastmail, which as I understand is a very competent and forthcoming third-party email provider.
The Balkanization of the WWW and the network effects that keep Google, Facebook and Microsoft entrenched are going to make the web a lot less fun in the coming years. I feel more and more like a lemon that will be squeezed either way, and it doesn't matter much to me whether I get bitten by the dog or by the cat. The other article on the HN home page hits quite hard at what the web has become vs what it could have become. Ever more closed protocols, ever more walled gardens, and more and more dirty plays to attempt to take over a portion of the remainder.

I am absolutely not sure what to do about any of this, it is almost as if there is a mutual exclusionary principle between a free and open communications network and the eventual success which will then doom that network to become non-free and non-open. Very frustrating all this.
It seems that secret blocking now only affects MTS and RT. There are alternative outbound channels in russia, for instance TTK, so protonmail may be available for somebody.
How a Bitcoin Evangelist Made Himself Vanish, in 15 Not So Easy Steps
I sat behind someone in business class on the Eurostar who was a C-level exec at another company. He was on the phone with a client and reassuring them that they took data security seriously, used VPNs and safes and FDE etc. He left his laptop unlocked when he went to the toilet, with (what looked like, I didn't snoop) a fairly confidential spreadsheet open.

We both worked in an infosec related industry. He was a c-level exec of a direct competitor. I fully believe this story.

>An actual M&M still tastes better than their copycat equivalent.

It can easily taste better "than their copycat equivalent" while being much worse nutritionally and ingredients quality wise, so there's that.

Sort of like to many people a McDonalds meal tastes better than a three course meal at a great (not talking "fancy haute cuisine", just honest cooking) restaurant.

Not saying Aldi's M&M copy is better. Just that something as personal as taste is not a solid criterion for whether it's worse, better or equally well made.
As a non pilot, AF447 crashed because the guy flying it kept pitching up during the entire duration of the stall, 30k feet. The captain finally realised what was going on just a few thousands feet off the ground and starts yelling the pilot flying to pitch down, and he has to repeat the command several times because the guy just isn't listening. Honestly it's just sad. 200 people killed because of an idiot. The same captain says "angle of attack 10 degrees" just a second before impact. The same pilot flying suggests to deploy airbreaks because he felt like the plane was going too slowly - during a stall. I mean it hurts to even think about this.

As the article itself states, problem is not with the frontend, but they block incoming e-mail to protonmail servers. Which is actually clever in a way, and smarter than just blocking the front-end.

You give too much credit to advertising and brand identity if you think "fake ariel" is something inferior to "real ariel", or that "real ariel" is something hard to achieve that means quality.

Insightful.

One could extrapolate this Internet struggle being closely related to how meaningful ordinary people are represented in government.

In many democracies, and in the US today, big money owns government to the point of anything at all aimed at defending the interests of ordinary people seems radical?

We may find there is a cost per person, few dollars per, or small percentage of time needed to participate in the system or be stripped down, devalued, tracked and every other thing possible to make money.

> Have you tried to send to Gmail addresses via your own SMTP server any time recently?

I do it all the time (from a VPS), it requires crossing all the Ts (SPF, DKM, etc), but never had any issues with Gmail, only with other self-hosted systems.

> The days of running the web server in your basement with no say-so from anyone else would come to an end.

That was never true, you had to have permission from your ISP, and many forbade it (and some outright blocked those ports).
If that were the only factor, yes. The mechanical linkage though can help each pilot understand and discuss the actual inputs the plane is receiving, as well as being consistent with all the aircraft that they flew in primary civilian training.
The real news would be Google keeping something alive that it's not one of its 5-6 money-makers...

Ideas alone don't matter.

That saying exists to deter procrastination, obsession with being first, being secret and other mistakes people make.

But ideas do matter. Google AdWords' bidding model was an idea (I think overture had the first quality implementation at scale). That idea was/is responsible for adding 0s to Google's as income.

If airlines would need to invest in a lot of training for existing 737-non-MAX pilots, that would probably have made the plane a lot less attractive. Being "a regular 737" is part of the appeal of the 737 MAX.

> There would be significant overhead to design a decoder such that it could switch between legacy and aarch64 only, but it could conceivably be done.

What you'd do then is to split the decoder into several blocks, so that there's a fan-out from a main decoder into the different sub-decoders, and then power down the sub-decoders. It's still entire blocks you power down.

Plus, I think the increased power consumption from this design (especially considering that the decoder now needs to stall on powered down sub-decoders) will outweigh the savings of powering down any sub-decoders.

> fyi clock gating isn't the same as power gating.

Of course not. Both clock gating and power gating are power saving designs. Clock gating and power gating both eliminate switching current entirely, while power gating also removes leakage current at the cost of larger architectural changes than those required by clock gating.

I'm out on a limb here, but I don't think power gating makes much sense outside extreme low-power devices.

There are so many things that can go wrong in machine learning project. For example:

- the core of any ML project is an input data pipeline (the input ETL). There can be some row missing in one table and the whole solution will break

- the ML models are computing predictions on new data - we can only assume that they will work as expected, but the true is that no-one knows how they will behave

- the ML models often tend to be very complex = hard to understand = hard to debug (there are some explainers for ML/AI, but it is one more complex module in the project :))

I agree 100% with article's author that you should start with something super-simple that works, and then try to iterate, one thing at a time
I am a consultant working on Hadoop installations across the globe. As an average I usually able to save 70% disk usage and 30% overall cost by changing the defaults to a reasonable value as well as migrating companies out of HDFS to something like S3. I have spent majority of my career (10 years) working on Hadoop and I can tell you that it is a terrible piece of software with insane ineffciency all over the place. If you would switch over all the Hadoop installations on Earth at once to something more reasonable it would be visible on the global CO2 production chart quite a bit. What is good for the bottom 90% of companies is a financial question not a technological question. It is a bit unfurtunate that Hadoop is so popular and nobody cares about efficiency, not even the Hadoop vendors (maybe with the exception of MapR, which is not opensource).
It's a great and important article but feedback should not be overpushed. I agree that "opting out" is a way to go but mandatory feedback one-on-ones "The expectation that I set is, either you come to me with a difficult conversation, or I’ll come to you with one." this can easily be taken too far at least if we're talking about IT communities. I found that encouraged open hours do work very well but you need to assure that each conversation will remain absolutely in strict confidence. Retrospectives work very well too to identify what problems cause team underperformance. And 360 reviews so far showed highest results done once every three months, each team member had time to rethink their behavior, - what's good and where to improve. So far one-on-ones were pretty stressful but that might be the specifics of the company I work in. Overall this is a great article and feedback culture is very important, thank you.

If the scope of the project is huge then don't go for fixed-bid quote, go for a T&M quote. Also, when freelancing you need to consider other costs (e.g. insurance, medical, pension, electricity, computers, internet connection, furniture, taxes etc) that the employer will not be paying but you will have to pay. So factor that in to your quote. The London contract rates is somewhere around £65 to £200 per hour depending on the project and your skill-sets.

Mismanagement : could you give some details ? I was under the impression that mozilla was doing quite amazing things on the contrary : keeping firefox the only really usable alternative to chrome (when even microsoft didn't manage to do it), and even innovating in PL space with Rust.

I also blame the Mozilla Corporation for that: including WebKit in your software is a piece of cake. So that's what the default browsers of GNOME/KDE/etc do. Gecko not so much (in fact, has there been any effort in this arena, after XULRunner was discontinued?)
Ideas don't matter (assuming the set of ideas you're choosing among are roughly equal in quality, and that the average quality of the set is well above outright stupidity).

No you didn't, but the person you replied to did, and you managed to overlook it then and now. Please go and design your algorithm where you "make up for it elsewhere". I don't know why you are posting about this if you don't know anything about the matter.
among other things, I miss Autopilot and generally the extensive machinery to help with massive capacity planning.

Think of Autopilot as an automation that tweaks a pod's request/limits according to what it actually needs in order to reduce waste and thus improve cluster utilization.

I recently saw the documentary Catfish, and was struck by the similarities to the Cyrano play. It's interesting how Cyrano gets the audience's sympathy even though he is a blatant manipulator. In Catfish, the woman with the corresponding role gets painted as borderline psychotic, which may be warranted. There are other differences as well, but it's interesting how big a difference the gender swap makes.
I think this could use a better title. From the current one, I was expecting a tutorial or a series of learning examples for using sed.

Moving back from a Scala application to Ruby feels like having an arm and a leg chopped off.

However if you like safe compiled languages i can only recommend to have a look at Rust.

Having a compiler that guarantees code to be free of deadlocks and such at compile time is just incredible.

And it is not even that hard to learn compared to Scala.

Scala is a really great language. But its open syntax, which ranges from c like imperative with curly braces to points free style can be hard to grasp. Not speaking of obscure compiler messages when a library using a weird dsl is missing some implicits.

Rust being more opinionated and having less stuff shoved into it while having all the stuff you need is really great.

The borrow checker has like half the rules of the "this" keyword in JavaScript ;)
They made the same mistake IE made: around Firefox 3, they allowed their browser to become terribly slow, and so Chrome ate their lunch. Because let's be honest, Chrome was and still is so much faster than Firefox, and that's why they won. You could argue that Chrome has infinite ad budget, and that obviously helps, but I'm a Google hater and I'd gladly use Firefox if it was better or at least on par with Chrome, but it's not.

I understand fixing something like that takes a lot of effort, but they lost a lot of time and money in projects that had no chance of working out, such as FirefoxOS (really? making an entire OS using the slowest browser engine that there is on the cheapest ARM hardware they could find?), Hello, Persona, etc. They also abandoned Thunderbird, which I will never forgive, the same way I will never forgive Google for abandoning Reader. Servo is a nice project but the chances it will be abandoned after years in development are over the roof.

So now they are focused on their privacy improvements, but they can't stop shooting themselves in the foot (sending your browsing history to the advertisement company Cliqz, remotely installing an addon to advertise the Mr. Robot show, installing Pocket by default...)

Then, if it is slower, and they don't seem to be able to take my privacy seriously despite their claims to the contrary, why in hell should I use Firefox?
I think social/communications software should be developed by universities or perhaps a new kind of institution. And there should be project based grants, paid from tax money.

The internet was better when the communications software was in fact developed this way by universities.

Companies can still provide the hardware, of course, but they have no business looking at our data.

> but apparently nothing matters except your phone number when it comes to recovering your account.

Kind of legit to be honest. Anything else would make it far too easy to recover accounts. Also Gmail is far too large to have a customer care that could also do things like passport verification or so.

Having said that, Protonmail has no phone number recovery. That's kind of bad. You can enter an old E-Mail address there though but it would be so much better to link this with a phone number. If you loose your sim card, you can always get a new one from the phone company with your passport.
the treatment is probably proportional to how many planes they order. Im sure if ANA or Singapore Airlines have some issue with their 787s, Boeing would respond immediately. Has nothing to do with western but everything to do with money.

See Lauda 004 for how Boeing treats a small Austrian airline. They only responded once the CEO (Niki Lauda) forced their hand by saying he would do a public stunt if they didn't respond.
