I agree sharing passwords is a really common thing, even among corporate / enterprise SaaS. Even with MFA people share dongles / code pads.

But the correct pattern is a formal system for delegation and/or disconnecting 'login' with 'account' (i.e. separate charging for a service from the login). This is something that AWS does very well for example.
I think people lose sight that a recession is normal and part of the cycle of boom and bust. Net net it’s always higher but you need a cool-off period.
> I hear you that it doesn't work the same way offline. But there is a good reason for the difference. If you had 1000 people in your house, bump order wouldn't work either. Even 30 active people in a chat room gets too hard to follow if everyone is talking.

If you've got 1000 people in your house you'll have a couple of conversations going on in the kitchen, a couple in the lounge room, a couple outside and people will be wandering between the different sections and conversations. This seems pretty familiar to traditional forums where you'll have specific sub forums, and topics in those sub-forums, if you wander from one forum to another you'll see the most recent topic/conversation taking place. Sort by new in reddit seems to be the opposite, you'll see the newest topic but you want see the active conversations, at the topic level you'll only see the latest top level post not any ongoing conversations.

There is a limit where this breaks down of course, but perhaps the solution is to accept the limit and have many smaller communities instead of one big one.
How to avoid 8 common solo game developer mistakes
Happy to give some context on SimilarWeb's data. In the last ten years we have developed a unique way to understand the digital world. SimilarWeb's estimation technology predicts how 80M websites and 3M apps behave based on diverse different digital data sets and sophisticated machine learning algorithms:

1) Global Panel: a global panel of opt-in panelist who agreed to share with us their digital footprint
2) Direct Measurement: Websites and Mobile Apps owners share data with SimilarWeb directly
3) Partnerships: partnerships with many different data providers like ISP (Internet Service Providers)
4) Public Data Sources: proprietary technology and indexing engines that scan hourly for every existing public data point

We combined all this data and we add our advanced machine learning capabilities to calibrate our estimations and provide data for the entire digital world.
I think the above methodology sets apart from other providers. It's also important to stress that the web traffic stats we provide are estimations and not intended to be compared to direct measurement services like GA.

Tinkering is something you can lose touch with time on.
Writing brings with it self doubt, worry about how it will be read.

I send very clear emails (or so my colleagues tell me), but each one takes forever to write.
I basically do not trust any claim or article that I read on Reddit, Hacker News, Facebook, or any other social media by default now, if it triggers the "this may be a controversial topic" flag in my brain. That means anything to do with recent events that would make the news, politics, even practically anything "science-y".

HN, Reddit, Twitter and any other semi-anonymous social media site are just too easily gamed and astroturfed by anyone with a VPN and some time. Facebook and Twitter's "organic" content tends towards clickbait preying on people's anger responses.

If you mean unpopular in the sense that it’s unlikely it would end up being used for your “average” project I think you’re right. However it’s seeing uptake in key systems programming projects. The most notable is probably Amazon’s Firecracker VMM that underlies AWS Lambda and Fargate. Google is also writing some components of their new Fuschia OS in it.
>If you had 1000 people in your house, bump order wouldn't work either

It definitely does, and it works better than "popular" sorting, here's how. You walk by rooms and overhear people talking. You hear a lot of small conversations, sorted by most recently heard. You find one you're interested in, and you're welcomed into the room of 2-20 people. You continue having a discussion, and it's less likely for it to turn "heated" because everyone in the group knows each other a bit.

You argue that it's "too hard to follow if everyone is talking". But the point is that you don't try to follow every thread/room. The alternative is worse: On Reddit, there are only a few ballrooms (posts on the front page of a subreddit), but they each have a couple keynote speakers (comments upvoted 2,000 times). But if you try to talk to anyone in the ballroom, they'll won't pay attention because the speaker they came to listen to is at the podium.

On Hacker News, it's not as bad because it's small. Instead of walking into ballrooms, you're walking into seminars at a university. There's a designated speaker, but anyone can interrupt the speaker at any time to offer helpful comments.
> Everyone should be spreading their savings around different banks.

Which savings? 60% of the US population has less than 1.000 $ in liquid savings per [1]. In Germany it's 33% per [2].

When the recession hits (not if but when) people are going to get fucked. The 2008 crisis wiped out what many people had and its aftermath left them unable to rebuild their savings, and social security institutions have been wrecked since neoliberalism took over - I certainly expect (food) riots once recession hits. The Yellow Vests in France are an example what a still relatively rich but angry population can do, and extrapolating from that reveals a not very nice future.

If output were stable then innovation would only be used to improve the efficiency of production. That would mean fewer jobs producing the same amount of stuff, which would lead to increased inequality (fewer people working and earning compared to people who aren't working). That doesn't sounds like a good thing to me.

The societal benefit of "infinite growth" is fully utilising the workforce. If an innovation reduces the number of people needed in a job we can try to grow a different part of the economy to use those people. Unless we can think of a different way to utilise people (eg universal basic income, negative income tax, free stuff for everyone, or something) growth is a useful mechanism to regulate society to an extent.
> Net net it’s always higher

So far this is true for the US, but Japan shows this might not always be the case.
Then why did you get a kid?
> There is no need for continuous growth.

In the current model of capitalism, yes there is a systemic need for continuous growth - one might say, for VC-style turbo capitalism, there is in fact an even worse need for exponential growth.
This looks very cool! Thanks for sharing it. I'm definitely going to mention this in the next technical meeting at the research group.
I don't know what Netflix is like in America but all my content is nothing but new stuff... The only thing that's "old" that shows on my "popular on Netflix" (or what ever its called) section is Friends.

If I had to guess, this is what happens when you make your company data driven at all costs. All the dog-piling leads to higher engagement, more comments made faster as people get the last word in, and more gold/platinum/silver buying as people foam at the mouth to super-bump comments they agree with.

Reddit has a strong incentive to make their website a platform where you shout into an abyss that echos back what you currently feel, where you can feel vindicated for downvoting and insulting the "other", and get that sweet dopamine kick for stealing (not sharing) content with no concept of attribution. All of that means higher engagement of the userbase.

If they wanted to encourage thoughtful discussion? That would mean requiring long-form posts, or throttling how fast users could comment. Wanting high quality discussion would mean encouraging posting sources and taking time to read them, which drives users off the site. It would mean dis-incentivizing the emotion-based vector for buying gold as a means to super-bump arguments you agree with, or to spite the opposition.
As a long term customer here is a small suggestion to make this fail-safe: by default do trust your customers, and just ask them first instead of shooting them down first.

Considering you have been marketing yourself as the platform for developer oriented cloud, you should be aware that surge provisioning can and will always be happening.

Derogatory and critical, humph! Who woulda thunk, ya know?
What's good on HBO? I used a VPN to subscribe to HBO and Hulu and ended up canceling it because I ended up watching more Netflix than those services...
Boredom is what drives people to accomplish things.
11 9s of durability, barely two 9s of availability

I'm sure that's okay if you do bulk processing / time-independent analysis, but don't host production assets on wasabi.

You are very lucky. I clearly recall intense boredom from pre-phone times. Every time I was forced to stay in some place and do nothing, like while waiting at the doctor's, using public transport, at school during some classes, at family dinner, at couples dinner, in church, even at the funeral, sometimes even in my own home.

There was a saying that intelligent people are never bored. Untrue. I have IQ over 150 and boredom brought me to tears more than once.

I'd read to kill it, i'd play solitaire with real cards, I'd play one player games with pen and paper.

Now when I'm older I can handle being bored much better. As I accumulated scars I can reminiscence on how effed my life is and daydream of pleasure. Buy I still prefer my phone wherever it's socially acceptable.

> When I travel to different countries and pull up Netflix, I see shows available in that country that aren't available in another. It's annoying.

This is, a lot of time, not Netflix fault (or only partially).
Distribution contract with exclusivity clauses can have been signed before Netflix ultimately implanted in the country. It means, they cannot get the right to stream even if they wanted before X years. They also have to start competing against local company who are already well integrated in the local market and can have more leverage power / money to invest.
At the end of the day, hen Netflix start in a country with X amount of user but a local TV station already have several time the viewer, there is less incentive for Netflix to spend big bucks to get a specific license until they reach a bigger amount of membership.

The missing part here is that on a student/work visa, you're entitled to remain in the country longer than your visa is valid for.

When I was living in the US, I was on an E-3 visa and my wife was on an F-1. My visa lasted for 2 years, however my I-94 (which permits me to remain in the US) lasted for 3. My wife's visa was for a single year but her I-94 was for the entire duration of her study.

What this means in practice is that if you travel internationally during the period in which you have a valid I-94 but no valid visa, you have to renew. However if you _don't_ travel and just stay in the US, you don't have to bother.

I can't imagine how this is anything but a bug. The US wants my wife to demonstrate intent to return home (e.g. by frequently visiting) but actively discourages her from doing so (by forcing a burdensome visa renewal each time).

>The Queen's Corgi

Interesting rabbit hole, that one. Seems to be a movie to cash in on "The Secret Life of Pets" which itself was probably a movie made to cash in on whatever Pixar had at the time. Release dates are wonky - it's been out in Belgium for months, which is probably how it appeared online.

I hadn't heard about the movie before - but because someone pirated it maybe I'll watch it now.
> They are literally making the same exact mistakes,

I haven't seen them make a formal system whereby publishers can pay to have their content autosubmitted and promoted to the front page. That was what killed Digg.
Except when they are in the spot where they can accomplish nothing. Then boredom is an itch you can't scratch. Becomes torture.

Your average individual mistakes vengeance for justice. Read almost any thread in r/AmItheAsshole. The top comments will be the most vindictive, knee-jerk-y reaction you'll ever see.
I think you misunderstand "growth" as wall-street profits. The world GDP today is $80T. If you divide that by world's working population (which is ~65% of total population), you will arrive at about $9/hr wage rate for average human. The growth is the improvement in value of time for an average human being. This is obviously very broad view because returns are extremely unevenly distributed but when GDP grows, many people benefit by having their standard of life elevated by that little bump. Continuous growth is what led to dramatic reduction in massive poverty in India and China compared to 1970s and now also starting to take place in Africa. There is most definitely need for continuous growth.
Setting up you own VPN with a cheap VPS has a higher chance of working but you have to be careful about your VPS provider.
For example, I know that a lot of OVH owned IPs are banned from Netflix.
Yes, it is high medical costs. Further, many people's insurance won't pay if it is "your fault", which gives more motivation to sue.

Even if those are short term projects you should look for a few things:

0- They should care about getting projects done, in reasonable time and without the need for subsequent reworking. Regardless of what the project actually is.

1- They should have internalized that nothing is ever finished. After the "building" phase comes the "maintenance" phase and they should be aware of this and behave like they know that maintenance for every line they write will be one of their long term task (see #5, #6).

2- Willingness to do the least pleasurable and more mundane parts of the project (possibly trying to reduce the time needed through automation if it makes sense), that are necessary to finish it.

3- They should be able to always keep a clear idea of the current status of the project, what they still need to do and what is still missing. They shouldn't have a tendency to throw away time to look into unnecessary and irrelevant details (i.e. technical rabbit holes).

4- They shouldn't lose interest or lose direction when something doesn't go according to plan. In these cases the plan should be re-evaluated and a new plan defined.

5- They shouldn't be too hasty with what they have to do just to get it over with quickly and jump to the next thing.

6- Understand that there is a difference between a project that needs to be completed and used in production and something you can experiment on and has no hard requirements related to when it will be ready and how reliable it will be.
Wow. Didn’t know it was that easy. The humanity...
Why do you think "some community intermingling" is good, when the platform is fundamentally poor at encouraging thoughtful discussion?

I have almost never seen a civil conversation between a Trump and non-Trump supporter on Reddit, but all the time I see nasty slapfights which simply divide the community further.
you're kidding, right? I gave up on using jump bikes for my own travel needs long time ago, better off just walking and getting some exercise instead of hunting down some random thing in some random direction. But I try to use the bikes (the actual ride is pretty good, if you manage to get one) to show my friends around SF when they visit. In my experience, it's almost impossible to get two (or more, god forbid) bikes without spending up to an hour dragging through the dirties parts of Tenderloin just to hunt down the thing. By the time we manage to line up two bikes, everyone is fed up and sick of shitty neighborhoods, too - easier to just uber and go where we actually need to go.
I know the name brings back memories but it’s not what it seems :)
I see, so there has been no new Japanese product or innovation during the 20 or 30 years of Japanese deflation? Every car is from 1990, every CD walkman still available, created with techniques of the 1990s? Are you sure about that?

I'm sorry, but nothing of what you say follows.
The issue with more frequent trading is that you are paying more in transaction fees, and that it gives you more chances to make irrational decisions that result in lower returns.
Most users with TOTP assume that TOTP is bound to their app (often Google Authenticator without a backup option / migration path AFAIK). Technically, you are of course fully correct.
American football and boxing cause very real brain damage, but the extent to which other sports do is not well understood, and could be underestimated. Crossing faces and headbuts do happen in wrestling. Soccer also allows strikes to the ball with the head, which are thought to be unsafe.
I'm dealing with an old code base in which methods tend to process exceptions by catching, logging and returning a null. The dev that wrote this code treated exceptions more like a rare-occurring annoyance rather than a signal for error, thus none of the calling methods had null check branching implemented. The amount of NPEs I had to fix in the past year is astounding.

Optional to me is a large leap forward. That being said, I also don't like its verbosity and wish for it to be improved somehow.
And Rust is used in various parts of Firefox now. Dropbox uses Rust in their Magic Pocket storage backend. npm uses Rust in its registry service.

Sure, Rust is not going to replace Java anytime soon (probably not at all). But for a language that has seen its first stable release only four years ago [1], Rust is a wildly successful systems programming language.

[1] Before Rust 1.0, Rust was not really usable in production due to very frequent changes to the language.
Research integrity is much more than misconduct
SGML came out of document authoring and publishing. SGML is more suited for this domain because (among other things) you don't have to quote every single string. It is not like the SGML community didn't know about s-expressions - DSSSL the style language for SGML was based on scheme, so they recognized s-expressions were appropriate for some domains.

I'm disappointed, but not surprised in your measurement of success. Many tout record box office takings as clear success but I rather think that really reflects on inflation (both real and artificial).

Look at admissions over time. I only have UK numbers to hand [1] but despite an increasing population, we're still at barely a tenth of our 1950 numbers. MPAA stats [2] seem to show the US in decline over the last few years but I cant find a nice table to do an 84y comparison.

So again, cinema might be taking absolutely more money than ever before, but that's probably through higher ticket sales. Numbers of bums on seats is not breaking any records.

I have no idea how tightly those things are sealed. Given some of the watch tests in this thread (the olive oil one), it surely can withstand the positive pressure but I'm not certain it could withstand negative pressure. If oil got in there, that oscillator would never keep the correct frequency again.

Hopefully someone does some tests.
The major parties jump to grasping any straw. Why are you surprised!
For a retirement portfolio I'd likely stop buying and save cash for a correction and start buying after a significant decline/crash.

In doing so you lower your average buying price and have cash on hand if you need it.
I've been following this pretty closely over the last year. Gaming is a hits driven business, and the last couple AAA titles to come out were DOA. Viewership is either being questioned or outright down everywhere. Esports numbers will be a little stickier overall because those are your most passionate players, but the audience isn't growing. To grow the audience interested in esports, you need more esports-ready games that aren't just cannibalizing the audience of other esports games.

I suspect this may be one of the reasons why Nate Nanzer is headed to Epic. If esports is in a bubble, then the best way to head it off is to boost Fortnite's ailing competitive scene to draw new audiences. All games should see a halo effect if Fortnite can start drawing the kinds of interest OWL has in the last year.

Used to be more lax about it, but now i limit where i have my digital goods at. I have steam and gog accounts.

I had/have whole bunch of games both on other sites, but after having my cc info stolen several times when buying stuff from random sites, I limit my exposure.

I do have uplay, and ea store on my computer, but i did not buy any games on them (and they don't have my cc info), they were requirements for playing games i bought on steam.

I might eventually also get epic store, if it lives for couple of years, and doesn't get any breaches, and has games I am interested in (don't really care about shooters)
So would a non-conformist in a land of tech non-conformists stand out by ironically wearing a suit? Is this like that saying that everything in fashion is cyclical?
What's interesting is that you don't follow your own reasoning to it's almost completely Marxist end: continuous growth is only necessary _because of_ the extremely uneven distribution of wealth, and it follows that the need for continuous growth is then _exacerbated_ by the continuous increase in income disparity.

"(...) Beginning in the 1970s, economic growth slowed and the income gap widened. Income growth for households in the middle and lower parts of the distribution slowed sharply, while incomes at the top continued to grow strongly. The concentration of income at the very top of the distribution rose to levels last seen 90 years ago".[1]

Setting up sonarr and radarr is not trivial, especially if you’re hooking it up to Usenet. I spend a couple of hours every year repairing the setup after the NAS has updated the mono version.

Finding the right Usenet server and the correct alternative block accounts, and then just the right search provider. Ugh. But it’s magical once everything is setup.
