I'm calling a big old [citation needed] on a compound that's only existed for a decade. It might not be acutely toxic, but recently we seem to be finding all sorts of subtle effects from compounds that've been in common use for decades.

How does one establish non-toxicity?
I am not in this space, but my guess would be this sort of company was started by people with an intimate knowledge of the specific space & what they can & can't do, so as a strategy, you're probably best off working in said industry and finding that niche that needs a solution.

Once you bust through that 15-20mins you are home free as a reader. Take your book, leave your phone, and read outside. That way if you want to abandon your book to find some little dopamine hit to stay your ADD, you'd have to go all the way back inside.

Even just another room or nook works, or the public library, so long as all you do there is read. You'll begin to associate that spot with reading and have an easier time getting into the reading mindset.

Consider spending more time deciding what not to do. Say "no". Delegate, both up, and down. Try the "rocking chair test", which is asking yourself, "When I am sitting on the porch of the old-folks home in my rocking chair, looking back on my life, what are the chances I will say: 'I wish I had spent one more day of my life doing X.'" -- Where X is that thing that seems soooo important to your boss/coworkers today. Tremendously clarifying.

For me, learning to delegate was a battle against my perfectionist tendencies. "But that's not they way I would have done it." Yup. When you delegate, people do it their way. To me the key was learning to parse out what is it that I care deeply about, and what not so much. Be sure the things you care deeply about are in the spec, and let go of the things that are not so important.

Make time for yourself. I am a ham radio operator, so for me spending a few days in the sun butchering a pile of aluminum tube to make antennas cures many ills. That is unlikely to be a universal prescription -- find yours.

My first thought when they said they switched from direct threading to indirect threading was that it may have been the worst possible time to do that given Spectre.

The negligible performance difference on modern Intel chips between direct and indirect threading is largely a result of their deep, heavily buffered branch predictors. Spectre mitigations are going to increase the performance differences. Most userspace applications will forgo mitigations in favor of keeping performance, but the browser was the big exception as it has to be concerned about in-process side-channels.

Only about 150 years ago the idea of rocks coming out of the sky was ridiculous, fringe, crazy-person talk.

We laugh at the flat-earthers, but I think you can estimate how sane an Earthling is by its attitude towards meteor defense.

My point is most of us are "flat-earthers" after a fashion. Most people don't really internalize physics and the structure of the Universe[1], but when you do, you have these moments where your mind resolves the inconsistencies in your worldview and it expands and these mind-blowing vistas spread out before you.

One thing you realize is that the sky is fucking terrifying.

The world includes gigantic explosions that happen literally out of the blue for no real reason other than there are falling rocks in the sky and gravity.

Why should you deprive an inventor of the rights to his invention merely because he's funded by the government? Do note that, in these situations, you have to notify the government of your intent to file a patent (and you lose the patent if you fail to do so!), and the government gets an automatic license to the patent.

> Is a citation really needed about the NSA collecting basically all the data on the Internet?

Yes because this claim is preposterous. You don't even need a napkin to show this is impossible.

> This is "common knowledge" in information security circles.

The "common knowledge" in Internet industry circles is that Snowden misinterpreted several documents and made wild claims about what they said.

> Go look up the battles the EFF has fought with the NSA about their data collection practices.

Snowden's documents showed that the EFF arguments against about what was happening at AT&T were unfounded. The documents showed that instead of copying everything, they filtered to traffic to or from certain foreign targets outside the US.

An immutable event log is not without its complexities. For example, versioning of events (I recommend reading Versioning in an Event Sourced System [1]).

I would also add that you can take this approach without using Kafka, especially if your system is small. Even a RDBMS table can be used as your single-source-of-truth immutable event log.

Immersion. Work in the industry at a position where you're likely to encounter inefficiencies. In healthcare, for example, you can't spit without hitting an optimization opportunity. Working midlevel can mean you get to see low-level workers hacking around bureaucracy and management wringing their hands about money and budgets and such.

Taking a job in an industry to get access to its seedy underbelly isn't super appealing to most founders, but for some ossified industries there's really no other way to find those golden opportunities.

Oh, and be patient. Practice being a mouthless set of ears.

You're right on this, I usually go to the 'adult only' theater near me where I can order a beer and a really good hamburger to eat while I enjoy a movie in a cushy lounging chair. These things have been popping up all over the country and I bet it's helped bring adults back to movie theaters.

I do enjoy Pixar movies though. It seems those are always packed for the 21-over crowd too.

> We rarely appreciate just how much inconsistency there is in the judgments we and others make, argues Prof Kahneman. It can hardly be a surprise, then, if past performance is no guarantee of future success.

Past performance can often predict future success that's why geniuses often are serial geniuses, sometimes in more fields than one. But we often forget that before they became known as geniuses they passed through a string of failures as is necessary. Im not sure if it's a problem with the geniuses themselves, or a problem of perception from our side, as we become intolerant to their failures.

As mentioned in the article:

> More likely it is “regression to the mean”, or in simple terms, a return to business as usual.
Eh, that all assumes the object has a relatively short orbital period around the Sun. None of that would work for an object with a very long orbital period, which would have a very high velocity in the inner solar system and likely would not be observed until it was already on its way here. Then there are objects which are not in orbit around the Sun, with even higher velocities.
No mention of the amount of CO2 _saved_ because of less trips to the store!

What is the explanation when burnout follows success? I've personally seen that as well.
Stay in school kids.
This is related to the general "is it luck or is it skill" question: At the broadest scales, luck increasingly explains every factor of experience. But in the everyday situation you can always point to factors of skill, until you get down to the most raw performance indicators of speed, strength, reflexes, etc.: then it becomes luck, unless you have a way of training those things, improving them with nutrition, pharmaceuticals etc. And then it becomes skill again, until you are limited by stuff inherent to a human body, and then it could be luck that you have long swimmer arms or bodybuilder genetics. You can then switch to considering mechanical assistance and developing original inventions, and now you are considering mental performance. It goes on and on like that.

The most practical thing I've found to do, in light of this problem, is to focus on developing better feedback: success and failure signals for each problem that you can use to summarize how you are doing. Then the skill/luck question becomes less reliant on external comparison and more on inner growth - hence more in control, more skill-driven.

But as a society our measures are mostly external. If someone succeeds, that's all we see.

You are talking about the tragedy of the commons:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

Unfortunately, capitalism is one of the primary drivers of this. But it's also correlated to any authoritarian system, as well as deregulated systems that use Social Darwinism.

The heart of the problem is an inability for people to organize and address societal problems in a non-reactionary way by means of central planning. Which means that the solution is inherently leftist politically. We can pretend that there are rightist solutions (the invisible hand of the free market, unfettered capitalism, etc) but there is ample evidence that those don't work in practice and are even accelerating global climate change and the collapse of ecosystems.

War is always about money. If we flatten wealth inequality via UBI, that suggests that the impetus for war may be diminished. So expect backlash from those in power or whose wealth is derived from armed conflict.

There used to be an option to either have items ship when they are ready, or in one shipment. I can understand that if items are in different warehouses, they might need separate shipping. But these days, I order three items in one order, and get all three the same day, from different trucks.

This is silly when I don't care about speed. If I cared that much about getting items ASAP, I'd find it locally. The fact that I am ordering online means that I can wait. I'd prefer efficient delivery to ASAP delivery.

Something that differentiates Slack from other apps, is that there should never be any need to manage data across corporate clusters.

Instead of a massive, complicated back-end, imagine if each Slack 'installation' (i.e. customer) had their own set of services, distinct from one another.

Even with 10K users each for the larger customer accounts, I'd imagine that 'customer backend' might not have be super complicated.

i.e. I wonder if there's an opportunity for systems such as these to 'scale horizontally' instead of vertically, whereby each customer has their own little set of services.

In this manner 'managing billions of messages' wouldn't seem so daunting, rather, no more daunting that some 3rd party running several thousand MS Outlook instances, one for each customer.

Many people would argue that the financial industry is not regulated enough.

People were able to hack together exchanges for crypto-coins. The only thing that stands in the way of doing this for private stock/tiny companies is excessive regulation.

Crypto exchanges are examples of how to create a financial system that lacks security (both the technical and financial kinds) and trust. It's an example of how NOT to do things. Crypto exchanges act as broker, exchange, clearinghouse, depository and trustee. And do none of these very well.

In the regulated world, exchanges do not hold your assets. There is nothing "on deposit". Your broker (who holds your cash assets instead) is insured. Brokers don't even typically hold your securities, they just track your positions. The security assets themselves are held at depository institutions. Etc, etc. This system is not by accident. It was developed through a long history of trial and error to minimize the impact of fraud, abuse, bankruptcies, etc.

I'll be the first to recognize that most financial regulators have been very slow to adopt to the crypto world. That's because so many crypto tokens are either not securities or quasi securities and thus defy easy classification. Thus some old rules don't really apply well. They're also paranoid about money laundering, which doesn't help.

The software aspects of setting up exchanges are challenging but ultimately not the hard part. I guess my point is that just because something is easy to do doesn't mean it should be done.

How fast is getline in C++?
JSC makes breaking changes to the bytecode format on a regular basis. It’s an internal implementation detail and isn’t going to be exposed to standards.

Also the bytecode format has no memory safety guarantees so standardizing it wouldn’t be a great idea. It’s only trusted to obey basic VM invariants if we know that we generated it ourselves.
...But they don't know it's the same youtube video. It's just an encrypted bytes from a connection to youtube.com. Now you might be able to infer from metadata what the video is sometimes, but given that youtube does things like dynamically change the resolution it sends over the wire based on network congestion during a single watch session, it's not clear that size and length metadata would be enough to dedupe.

Ironically feeds made me spend way less time on the internet. Instead of jumping around half a dozen different sites and dealing with their ass engagement-focused ux, I just skim their RSS feeds once at the end of the day. ~150-200 new articles a day and I scroll and skim through them in about 20 mins.

Maybe I'll read 2-5 particularly interesting articles in depth, but even from what I'd call great websites a lot of the content is just noise and not worth the time spent to read. That really becomes apparent when you have a pretty barebones, super focused and condensed list.
