"pilot error" isn't good enough. Good design and engineering can mitigate human failings, bad can exacerbate them.

The only accident investigation I've ever read (I read a lot of these) that actually had no broader recommendations for safety, was one where two fishermen used enough heroin to render themselves incapable of operating their boat safely and they drowned. The investors concluded that yup, taking so much heroin that you can't operate the boat is a bad idea, don't do that. Heroin is, of course, already a class A drug and you're not supposed to use it at all while operating a boat. No new recommendations.

Back in software, it's theoretically possible to do PKCS #1 v1.5 decryption safely but you're going to keep seeing Bleichenbacher Oracles until we stop using it in online protocols, because doing it correctly is hard. So we should just stop doing it altogether.
From touching the ground to brain death may be a short time, but from realizing the plane is going to crash to brain death, not so much.
I think sexism is also involved. Media professions attract more women (my journalism and marketing classes were filled with women). And the media loves to cover the gender gap in STEM. So now it's a bunch of guys tweeting to women telling them to "Learn to Code" after said women complain about getting laid off or career difficulties.
I don't understand why I should care about the risk to HFT traders because I don't see why they should exist in the first place. So I don't understand your argument.

For HFT traders to make a profit, somebody else must lose. In my understanding, the ones to lose are the other traders. If I want to buy shares, part of the price of buying them will go to HFT traders. And my revenue of selling them will be lower due to HFT traders on the exchange.

I'm reminded of Lofoten, a peninsula and group of islands way further north in Norway that's a very popular summer tourist destination. It's absolutely beautiful. I wonder why Lofoten has thrived while Solund has not? Relative size of landmass has to be part of it.
I recall listening to a sleep specialist on a radio show one morning (how's that for citing my sources).

Apparently there are two different methodologies for administering Melatonin. One is to use a higher dose(1mg - 3mg) before sleep (~an hour) as a hypnotic. The other is to take a much lower dose, closer to the 0.3mg you suggested, roughly 4 - 6 hours before the desired bed time.

The latter is used for modifying the circadian rhythm , and fixing problems with sleep wake cycles.

I think the primary takeaway from that show was that people should discuss their sleep problems and treatment with a doctor that specializes in sleep. The treatments and science can be somewhat counter intuitive.

I don't know why you are being downvoted (I upvoted you), because you are raising a point that absolutely needs to be discussed.

Perhaps I phrased things incorrectly, but the idea behind using psychedelics is not to suppress the symptoms, as is with classic anti-depressants. They cannot do that. Rather to change the way one thinks in such a profound way that they will voluntarily solve the root cause of the problems without being intimidated by them.

Taking Prozac will make one completely numb to feelings, and the hope is that since they no longer feel crippling depression, they can overcome whatever difficulties are the root cause. I would describe it as depersonalizing the individual completely so they become a robot. Psychedelics absolutely do not do that. You remain a feeling, emotive being - more so if anything, but they allow you to see your own thought process objectively.

I haven't studied the clinical usage of psychedelics, but my impression from cursory research is that the approach is different from traditional anti-depressants, and arguably more constructive path. Rather than numbing all emotions using very biologically-addictive substances, use non-addictive substances with very low abuse potential to make the conscious mind want to fix the problem. Not because it is being forced to, but because they want to heal. Often, part of this healing is a sort of resignation, or letting go, where the emotional baggage is fully acknowledged and the pent up pressure can be released. This is part of the therapeutic process, by removing the internal filters, one cannot help but acknowledge and face these things and interestingly enough, in a positive way.

E.g. a person who has problems with their weight will finally come to terms with their body, which allows them to acknowledge the root cause and start working on fixing it, now liberated from the suffocating feeling of "having problems".

I don't know how to describe it better, and I realize I'm being incredibly un-scientific, but perhaps you see what I mean?
Oof.

To expand on this, SipHash is designed to mitigate a certain kind of DOS attack. It’s not a cryptographic hash. SipHash will still be a top choice for general purpose hashing with inputs that can be chosen by an adversary.

When I've built custom kernels, I'm pretty sure that the new kernel wasn't active until I rebooted. But rebooting after even dist-upgrade has just become automatic.

For unattended upgrades, you can disable automatic reboot. But then, I think there's risk that some upgrades won't take effect.
Not OP, but I know the Spot products are pretty popular (https://www.findmespot.com/en/). Though, the Gen3 is quite a bit thicker than a credit card and they do run $20/month for service.

Tilera was acquired by EZChip in 2014 and then in turn EZChip were acquired by Mellanox - the Tile arch kind of died from lack of attention during that process.

I had a TileGX dev board and ported our product at the time (nearly 10 years ago). It was an ok arch but that’s a tough niche to fight for.

Whether it was journalists pushing it, or "politicians, economists, and tech CEOs" pushing it, and journalists merely repeating it, I don't know.

But I definitely remember hearing that message in the media for the last 20 years, and I don't recall anyone calling it "trolling" until it was directed at journalists.
I'm not sure if that part is correct. If I use something like SHA1 or MD5 (yes, I know they're no longer considered secure), know with essentially 100% certainty that I will not get a collision. This means I don't have to implement chaining, quadratic probing, or another method of collision avoidance. Though it might cost some speed on the end use of the app, it's often easier for initial development because I simply have to write less code.

Maybe a more experienced dev can comment on this? Still learning here, and haven't spent time in a lot of large codebases.
Exactly. If you only use the safety measures that improve your social status, maybe it's not safety you care about.

River could be salt water.

You seem to be breaking up my arguments into segments so that you can ignore the big picture.

A. Amazon controls almost 50% of market-share.

B. Amazon uses their platform data to determine which products vendors sell are high-margin, then replicates those products and sells them at a lower cost.

C. Amazon-branded products appear higher in search results, which eventually drive the original vendors out of business. Whether this is explicit, or happens by virtue of intimate understanding of Amazon's algorithms is irrelevant.

Individually, A, B, and C are not anti-competitive, but Amazon is doing A and B and C at the same time, which crosses into anti-competitive behavior. Technically, B & C together are enough to warrant anti-trust investigations.

As I understand it, Melatonin can be administered as a hypotic (taken in larger doses (1mg - 3mg) before bed), or it can be taken in smaller doses hours before bed to trigger the natural release of Melatonin and start the sleep cycle. (I mentioned this in another comment).

Believe it or not petroleum will run low and become very expensive some time in the future. Clever technology has just pushed that date out to mid century. Petroleum is the main source of plastics and many chemicals. You might alternatives when crude oil reaches a thousand dollars a barrel.
With the US having the largest oil reserves in the world and half of that being shale [1], I doubt we are going to see an implosion. Besides, Big Oil Companies are getting into the game with their massive war chests [2], so while the little companies are going under, the big ones will take over and keep the crude flowing.

Aussie crocs are notoriously aggressive. The salt water croc, which infests these waters, can grow upwards of 20+ feet. It doesn't really matter how far from land these guys were nor how deep the water, it's pretty unlikely they'd survive a swim.

I think the friend making signs is a bad example - he is actually doing something, having fun and making money. The reason he is not modifying his business plan is likely more complex than "building a tower of research"

However, the overall point of the article is still meaningful, it's something I find myself doing a lot - plan and think about a project but not actually getting started in any meaningful way. Obviously some amount of research and planning is necessary for everything, but doing that endlessly is the problem being described.

I agree with a lot of posts below. However, my absolutely biggest worry is that it will allow these companies to get even more personally identifying information about the user than they probably have today since they will have to compensate them monetarily.

For example, they will/may start asking for address, phone number, real DoB and SSN for tax reporting purposes since this would be an income.
If I have multiple gmail/FB/... accounts I may have to drop some or provide the same information for those, basically removing any doubt that I'm the owner of those and so and so forth.

Moreover, since this won't be limited to Google & FB, almost any service which collects data, which would be everyone, would potentially have to ask you for this information before they let you create an account. It may lead to the complete loss of anonymity on the Internet.
A lot of IB technology is based on precursors like Myrinet, Quadrics, etc. Those companies were driven from the HPC market and the top500 by Mellanox in the last 15 years. It is arguable that IB won simply because it had better marketing, and a lot more venture capitol behind it.

At one point, 6 of the top 10 supercomputers in the top 500 were interconnected with Quadrics, and over 1/3 with Myrinet. However, both Quadrics and Myricom are both long gone. And neither of them sold for anything close to $6.9B

How to distinguish a psychopath from a 'shy-chopath'
than a lack of reader charity

I'm sorry if that came across as accusing. I meant to imply that the author would benefit from more charitable language, not that the reader had failed to supply it. I now see that it could also be read the other way.
"Reportedly" had 2000 ships. The whole article is full of "reportedly" whenever it comes to hard numbers. She appears to be cherry picking outlandish accounts that are not corroborated with other sources.

For comparison, the Spanish armada, in 1588, posing a major challenge to British rule of the seas, had 130 ships. From what I can tell, the distance from Dakkar, the Atlantic port that appears in the map from the article to Lisbon [Atlantic port in Iberic peninsula] is ~1700 miles, while the distance from Lisbon to London is ~1000 miles. A force more than 10 times larger than the Spanish Armada only twice as far should have been a sight to behold, and reckon by European nations. Heck, if Abu-Bakr had cross-Atlantic ambitions, his navy should have long reached Europe. Yet, the mighty Mali navy is mysteriously a footnote in [or absent from] contemporary European maritime accounts.

This belongs to click-bait sites [copiously cited in the article] like money.com, celebritynetworth.com or smartasset.com, and not on the BBC. How the mighty have fallen...

The american health system is worse than other countries for intense regulatory capture and regulation, thats my assessment and one shared by many economists in the healthcare space. Socialized programs dont resolve that. Having medicare for all does not abolish patent law, or creates doctors out of thin air, or reduces the cost of medical school, those are recognized problems. The socialized medicine plan is mostly hiding away the cost and paying it all through taxes: not making it cheaper. That way, the only way you can do it cheaper is by reducing the state offering.

You will not get the canadian health insurance by signing a law that says you will. You will get the american version of it.
Please bear in mind medicare itself is also more expensive than canadian health services as it is, thats what the american state gives out.

Some of my favorites that I compiled over time.
The book Flash Boys by Michael Lewis covers HFT in general and a similar fiber optic line built by Spread Networks in 2010. It's definitely a fascinating world.

Apparently HFT's have moved on to microwave (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-03-08/the-gazil...) to gain a further edge over fiber optic.
You may be right. It's a a sexist double standard, but in certain circles, it's essentially forbidden for a man to criticize a woman in any way, while it's permissible for a woman to say anything she likes about men, however hateful.

And those circles do seem to have a lot of overlap with the circles that consider the "Learn to Code" meme "toxic".
> Your goal, when launching a product, is to build a product that solves a problem for your users. Not build the fanciest deployment pipelines, or multi-zone, multi-region, multi-cloud Nuclear Winter proof high availability setup.

I agree, but context is key: if you're bootstrapping a start up, you don't need these things. You need to prove your product, then you scale.

But automation != scale. Having a process that streamlines your delivery process, regardless of scale, can be helpful. I've screwed up enough single-box deployments to learn that less.

Stepping back: our industry is pretty horrible about creating tools that can start small and scale up. I like where CockroachDB is going for that reason (just as an example). It would be great to start with a single database, and have a clear path to scale it horizontally across multiple nodes and data centers.

Kubes might get there... I'm not sure how focused they are on making small things work well, though... any examples of that?
