Mine is too. Around the same time I noticed my about section wasn't being displayed publicly, Keybase sent out a message about the Stellar cryptocurrency thing they're doing that included this paragraph:

> In case you missed it, we were forced to shut down registrations due to a swarm of bad actors. GitHub and HackerNews were both under attack and reached out to us.

Both my account and yours are relatively young, registration-date-wise, so I assume they've disabled the about section in recently registered profiles (or accounts with fewer than N points, or some other cutoff like that) as a way to combat these ``bad actors'' by making it impossible to connect those accounts to Keybase. I've looked around briefly but didn't see any confirmation of that one way or the other, so I could be wrong.

I work with Rust only these days, it’s really an awesome language and I wish everyone working with system languages would switch to Rust. Yet, I find Golang to be a much clearer language to read (and I read a shit ton of code). I hope they don’t add generics, but I wish they would options, results, sum types in general, redeclaring variables, the ? Operator, etc.
There is an ancient and effective standard interface for artisans. It's called technical drawing. If you spend the time defining your part in those terms you can scale manufacturing and have redundant suppliers. Further, these days to many fabricators you can send 3D models instead of the drawings. For product design exceeding tiny quantities, such an approach offers benefits over non-scalable self-fabrication with unprofessional tooling that will ultimately limit your access to a broader range of fabrication processes and materials. I've banned 3D printers in our office for that reason. We occasionally 3D print outside, but more often these days just get metal CNC'd.

In my opinion, electricity needs to now become a government function. The more people install solar panels and batteries, the less profitable electricity is going to be.

It's a death spiral eventually completely dominated by the fixed costs of keeping the network connected and enough electricity production in reserve rather than the variable costs of baseline consumption.

Former director of engineering here...

When I interview a candidate what I'm looking for is creative thinking, ability to solve problems. I like to hear about programming challenges you have faced, and how you solved them, or creative ways you've found to make processes more efficient. I'll ask you to describe some complex system you built in simple terms. I'll ask about ways you've found to save the company money, or use fewer resources.

Even if your interviewers don't ask you these, you can work them into your answers and really set yourself apart from other candidates who only know algo and nothing else. An easy way to word these if you're no Shakespeare is to use the SAR (situation, action, result) format. For example:

Interviewer: Tell me about a major project you led [that saved the company money|made operations more efficient]

You: At my last company, we had a series of 100 web crawlers running on EC2 at a cost of $5000 per month. I realized that they sat idle 80% of the time since requests were unpredictable. I changed the architecture to make use of AWS Lambda instead, and reduced overall compute costs by 40%, while reducing a potential security risk.

Syncthing as a Dropbox alternative

> We outsource to China because they're damned good at manufacturing.

I suspect it's the other way around. The supply chains, manufacturing expertise, automation, and skilled labour that are now China's main advantages were created through decades of investment that began with a search for cheap labour, and gradually crept up the value chain.

30 years ago in 1989, you would have said that you outsource manufacturing to Japan because they're "damned good at it". Only the very cheapest products would have been outsourced to China at that time. The skilled labour and supply chains weren't there.

30 years before that, in 1959, you would have looked to the US for a force that was "damned good at manufacturing". Only the cheapest products would have been outsourced to Japan.

Basically you start setting up factories making cheap stuff. Then as you gain skill and expertise, your quality gets better faster than your prices go up. The expensive countries see how much they can save by outsourcing more and more of their supply chain to you, and in the process their domestic supply chain dwindles and their skilled labour retires or gets laid off.

Eventually, you're the only choice for anything, until someone cheaper shows up to undercut you on the cheaper stuff...
Supermarkets rarely "create their own brand version of a product." They usually contact a a vendor to have them make the product with the house brand's labels.

Trader Joe's does this, and some googling will tell you who really makes some of their products. Costco is known for rebranding some impressively good single malt scotches and selling them cheap.

The courts have taken care of it, back in 1964 with Times v. Sullivan. Limitations on freedom of political speech have to pass strict constitutional scrutiny, and a general standard of “truthfulness” would never fly.

Even libel and slander laws are particular lax when it comes to public figures. When it comes to political speech in a campaign it only gets tighter. The standard is Actual Malice, and it’s harder to prove then you might think.

If there’s one form of speech which is absolutely protected by the first amendment, it is controversial, venomous political rhetoric.
Oh right, I forgot about the interaction with generics in this case. Semantically, I suppose it's creating and dropping a reference 4 times.
The Civic doesn't have an alarm and does not beep when you lock it. German cars and appliances do. Like our coffee filter. We make "achtung! alarm!" jokes about it all the time.
I had use of a Nissan Leaf for three months summer before last. Due to the lack of engine noise, it beeped loudly when in reverse as a safety feature for anyone who might be standing nearby. At 5am when I'd leave for work, I knew it had to be annoying the neighbors. I was able to replace it with a non electric car by the end of the summer but still feel guilty about the beeping the neighbors had been treated to for those three months.
Who are the 2nd and 3rd worst power companies in the western hemisphere? Whenever someone says something is "the worst" or "the best" I wonder how much due diligence they've actually performed to compare it to the alternatives. If you're going to claim something is the worst, surely you should know several others and be able to say why PG&E is worse than them.

I mean, just off the top of my head, I'd put Venezuela's power company as worse than PG&E. More people have died from their power problems than from PG&E's. Just in March of 2019, the entire country was without power for 10 days.

That assumes that I even have the money to afford that. Not all of us live in silicon valley.

I guess this is a recent i5? In case you want a low consumption alternative, an older Celeron-based NUC is also a very capable machine (much better than a Raspberry Pi 4 for about the same price used nowadays) and remains idle at a few dozens of watts.
Many teams just start with what they know and then that sets the tone. It no way means that the language is better. Amazon uses Java. Does that mean it's better than Go ? Popularity paints an incomplete picture at best.
Diversity e.g., in higher education admissions isn't just about what's fair for the students, it's also about what's best for the university and the students.

Universities are naturally xenophillic--both in their desire to understand more about the world and in their desire to influence it. Exploration and openness to new experiences and ideas are also important intellectual values important to develop in students. All of these are enhanced with a diverse student body.

As a more concrete example... $IVY_LEAGUE doesn't gain that much by having its average standard test score go from the 99th to the 99.5th percentile. From the university's perspective, it gains more by admitting students who spread the influence of the university's ideas, enrich and enlarge context in classroom discussions, etc...

I haven’t used the desktop app, just the iPad app, but InShort is more of a project management app than it is a charting app. It’s pretty comprehensive and can have somewhat of a learning curve if you’re not familiar with project management software. Their website describes it best, but I should also add that I have never found an app that solves what inShort solves. It’s almost like a combination of business process design and nested mind maps.

“inShort allows breaking a complex task into simpler ones and displaying their relationship on a diagram. From the resulting map of tasks, you can compose a detailed plan and start its execution, marking the progress in the application. Thus, the application provides everything you need for working with projects.”

Edit: I guess they came out with a diagramming tool to accompany the app earlier this year. https://apps.apple.com/us/app-bundle/inset-handy-diagramming...

AdNauseum wasn't targeted because it was small it was targeted because it abused ad networks instead of blocking them. I'm not saying blocking the extension was right or wrong I'm just pointing out you're conveniently dropping details that don't fit your narrative.

> Also, they then doubled down and blocked manual installation of AdNauseam, which is an overstep even if they were somehow justified in the ban.

No they didn't. Again I'm not saying I agree or disagree with your stance on AdNauseam being blocked from the store but your wording conveniently drops details that don't fit your narrative. Chrome won't load any packaged extension that isn't in the store but it loads unpacked extensions regardless when you click the developer mode toggle. When installed manually with the steps on https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/Install-AdNauseam-on... the extension loads fine.

The "both sides" diversionary tactic doesn't help anyone in these debates. It's the favourite excuse of every dictator and bad guy.

The radical Kurds aren't going to win anything by engaging in it nor will the more moderate Kurdish groups gain anything by quietly supporting them.

Turkey has much to lose in the years to come by exposing their soldiers in Kurdish majority areas and they are only further alienating themselves from Europe and the world, especially if they get too zealous in the process. They haven't even faced any real resistance yet since they focused on Arab areas first. Their decision making won't be without cost.

There's no way this will be easy ride for them. Nothing in the middle east is ever like that. This is just downtime between the next major conflict. There's only so much to gain for anyone involved.

Ingress is all via CloudFlare Argo tunnels or nginx + wireguard via bastion host, and it's all managed via SSH, bash, docker-compose, and supervisord right now.

It's all built on a few well-designed "LEGO block" components that I've grown to trust deeply over time: ZFS for local storage, GlusterFS for distributed storage, WireGuard for networking, Nginx & CloudFlare for ingress, Supervisord for process management, and Docker-Compose for container orchestration. It's allowed me to be able to quickly set up, test, reconfigure, backup, and teardown complex services in hours instead of days, and has allowed me to try out hundreds of different pieces of self-hosted software over the last ~8 years. It's not perfect, and who knows, maybe I'll throw it all away in favor of Kubernetes some day, but for now it works really well for me and has been surprisingly reliable given how much I poke around with stuff.

I'm looking forward to this. We live near a tourist area and by far and away the largest noise contributors are the 400-600hp diesel engines of the tour busses. They seem to have two modes, slow/low idle of about 650rpm, and then fast idle of about 1200 rpm. Both are banned with big red signs up and down the street but the drivers either don't notice or don't care that they are by far and away the largest noise contributors to the neighborhood.
I live across the street from a firehouse in Manhattan. They are noisy and politically untouchable so calling 311 doesn't help.

They test these devices to get through doors that are basically chainsaws every day at random times.

I once asked a fireman why they test them daily. He said, "It would be a shame to find out it didn't work when we got there."

I asked innocently, "When you test it, you know it works, but as soon as you stop it, you don't know if it works any more. That test might have been its last working. How do you know daily is the right amount?"

He said, "It would be a shame to find out it didn't work when we got there."

I took away that there was no reason for daily. They just did it that way.

If anyone out there knows a proper testing frequency for chainsaws, I'd love to find out, especially if it's well documented and less often than daily.
