Tbh, some anti-tech ideas (essentially eloquently presenting steelmanned ideas I'd only had at the periphery of my mind). All their ideas which goes against the grain, that I find valuable. (Warning tho: there's a lot of dopey-ness, amateurishness, and ideas in the podcast that I don't agree with. It's not for everyone. But I've found a lot of value in it the last month of listening to it.)
For all the people who somehow think HN is a better class than Reddit, I present to you the above comment (and my own).
Please stop attacking me with your exclamatory violence.
That's part of why NaCl, Libsodium, and Libhydrogen have the APIs they do: they cover secure ways to use the primitives, make those ways easy, and make it harder to misuse things. It's also why so many security professionals like the "noise" protocol: it doesn't leave any of the difficult choices open to be misused.

> People do unpaid work all the time. Ask your mom. Humans have compassion. They want to cooperate and collaborate.

Free work is for people close to me or for special cases like FOSS projects I want to win. It's not for strangers. When the Soviets collectivized farms, output crashed. Let's not so quickly forget the lessons of the 20th century.

> have a system that takes from the productive (workers) and gives it to the unproductive (shareholders)

Profit is not a sin. Tech treats its workers better than practically any other industry, and there's never been an industry with fewer barriers to industry. If you want to renew 20th century worker class consciousness rhetoric, also renew its disastrous consequences.
He’s being downvoted because it’s a highly sociopathic argument.

Humans also value empathy and compassion as well as mercenary self-fulfillment. Have you never been to, say, a soup kitchen or an animal shelter? I sort of suspect that the poster above hasn’t.

Even with interleaved insertions and lookups, there are common scenarios that make a sorted vector still significantly more performant. I wrote about it when we published our open source SortedList<T> implementation for .NET and .NET Core [0], specifically comparing it to AVL and Red-Black trees.

Thanks to ever more stringent rollover requirements modern vehicles can carry some pretty big things on the roof. You just have to ignore the part where people judge you for it (so I understand why people don't do it).
In practice it is my understanding that this is how copyright works in the US. There doesn't need to be any intentional infringement - just the fact that it infringes is enough. If someone came up with "Harry Potter" as a main character name on their own they still wouldn't be able to publish a novel with that title.
I would say Naval Ravikant in Joe Rogan Experience [0]. A bit preachy (similar to Osho whom he quotes) but there is some things that are actionable and is an interesting point of view.

I'm catching up on Knowledge Project (which is quite a listen) so these are not from 2019, I just happened to listen to them last year. The ones that had the most impact are:

- Is Sugar Slowly Killing Us? My Conversation with Gary Taubes [1]. I got interested in this subject following the NYT expose on how sugar lobby shifted blame onto fat [2]. This builds up on that for me.

- Survival of the Kindest: Dacher Keltner Reveals the New Rules of Power [3] This may be a selection bias as I had a feeling "survival of the fittest" is perhaps productive in short run but would end with species of one. Imho, the way to succeed is to collaborate and share knowledge else we may never have survived hunter gathering phase. So this episode resonated with me.

A16Z's Incenting Innovation Inside Loonshots to Moonshots [4]. Having been through a significant cultural shift at my organization, the analogy of water freezing at 32F and hysteresis to explain how company culture could change dynamically or how in the same organization there are pockets that could be at two extremes on a spectrum, was quite spot on.

Tulsi Gabbard on Joe Rogan. I don't agree with her on everything but listening to her ideas on US policy was a like getting into a plunge pool.
> In fast food, for example, self-order touch screens are vastly inferior to a trained order taker.

In my experience, once you get used to the interface, it's actually faster to just use the touchscreen to place the order.

Any job that involves taking a handwritten form which then is processed or oral instructions could be eliminated by providing an interface for the person to input the data directly without having to go through the middle person.
We use Mellanox ConnectX-4 NICs (cx5 and cx6 would be fine too), as well as Chelsio T6 in mostly Supermicro boards, making sure to have a full Gen3 x16 (or Gen4 x8).

The Mellanox (and Chelsio) NICs are helpful for us because they support RSS assisted TCP LRO. If you're doing just plain packet forwarding, that would not matter.
If it's a DeLorean, just head back to 1978 when Proposition 13 passed in California.
Like my recent job as a software tester at state govt. honestly, I swear I got more positive reviews when I didn’t do shit. There was a dearth of meaning since I knew we could all be more trained, systematic and use more auto, less manual. Our testing was not even usually that good. Even mine, though I was among the better; we just checked off the “passed testing” box but didn’t add much value.
I’ve noticed certain sites, like government websites (my local healthcare.gov site), banking sites, insurance sites, only work if you disable tracking protection entirely in safari/firefox, and one of them (I think the healthcare site) only worked in chrome with no ad blocker.

At this point in time (i.e. 21st century), any *nix script or program that doesn’t handle spaces in files names is woefully buggy. Maybe 20 years ago this was excusable, but not now. Spaces can reasonably be expected to be in filenames in all systems.

Support for other “special” characters in filenames (e.g. newlines), however, could still be debatable.
The legal obligations of a bank towards its clients generally extend way beyond your example, depending on the country, but yes, returning the client belongings upon termination of the relationship should be a basic right mandated by law. I think it is profoundly absurd that we are renouncing hard-fought consumer rights just because business is now being conducted electronically. If the letter of the law no longer matches the spirit, we should update the letter, not lose the spirit.
I believe there's no requirement if you just want to use Anthos on GKE (I could be wrong though, Anthos is relatively new).

Alternatively, if what you really want is the ease to manage and deploy containers and automatically scale according to traffic, my understanding is you can always use the open source Knative project with your Kubenetes cluster. This provide you the exact same API supported by Cloud Run and makes it very easy to migrate from managed Cloud Run to on-prem K8s cluster (or K8s clusters from other Cloud vendors).

Wow. The author shows an astounding lack of perspective if he doesn't see the problem with either of these. He presents some data in the second link, but throws away any credibility he has by justifying the countless examples of violence and intimidation against women in the industry as being backed up by whatever hand-picked statistics he wants. Reactionary politics at its finest.

You're welcome! Since you seemed to like the suggestions, here are two more:

1. Try raising prices by 50% for a month, see if your actual unit sales decrease.

2. Record a video for each chapter and then offer that at a (much) higher price point. $250+ - combine all this together and I bet you could crack $1k/mo.

I believe the issues you (and I) have had with ports are not fundamental issues with ports, which is to say that they are actually illegal changes in release repositories and would have been reverted if called out during development and testing.
That's pretty old news though: 2008 for ZFS, and 2012 for NFSv4.

I stopped using FreeBSD in 2013/2014a as pkgng was a completely broken mess of bugs and developers seemed uninterested in fixing things, but if I look to what's changed since then[1], then it all seem rather ... lacklustre. Sure, things have improved, but there's no "ohh, that's cool!" like ZFS, jails, etc. Certainly nothing that makes it markedly different from Linux.

Compare this to OpenBSD pr Linux, both of which have had a number of innovative concepts since then.

I wonder how many people are killed per alert?

These alerts (usually AMBER alerts) are sent to millions of people, accompanied by a loud and startling siren.

You can imagine all sorts of "one-in-a-million" events. The surgeon woken in the middle of the night, who can't get back to sleep and makes a mistake the next day. The startled roofer falling off a ladder. Etc.
https://kb.sandisk.com/app/warranty

I tried a couple of FAT32 formatted 16GB SanDisk microSD that have a "Lifetime" warranty in an OpenWRT-based router that has a microSD card slot. I managed put them both into unrecoverable "read-only" mode by letting some daemon write to them unconditionally.

They were purchased from a large electronics retailer not Amazon.

I normally do not use SD cards or USB sticks for non-interactive, frequent writes. I usually write to them manually (i.e., interactively), either storing files or dd'ing bootable images. For example, I am not one of those people who tries to use an SD card as a substitute for a HDD in an RPi. I only use tmpfs for non-interactive writes.

Is there any reason I should not conclude that these cards are not suitable for high frequency and high volume of writes.
2. I understood the `RowSet` as representing a batch, not the whole data set.

A. I agree that the column should only be requested once, similar to what you propose. Though I'd move the lifetime into the `Row` type instead of returning a reference. Unfortunately you don't totally escape the runtime check, since you still need to check if the column and row come from the same RowSet.
Cellulose acetate aka cigarette butts, turns into dirt 4 months in the soil or a few years out in the open sunlight[1]. It's vastly more biodegradable than your hoodie, your socks, your Starbucks cup or even something like dried up egg yolk. I don't think people should throw it on the ground, because trash barrels and ash trays are there for a reason, but it's basically not an environmental problem at all. It's just unsightly litter.

> Others producing more doesn't reduce their pollution.

If you actually want to solve environmental problems, how about solving actual problems instead of picking on lower class cigarette smokers who aren't causing any issues? It sure seems like an awful lot of "environmentalism" is nothing more than a disgusting social class pose.

Why, because you don’t understand what they do? Imagine explaining to those people that Google has “engineers” who just maintain the source repository. I bet they’d think it was a “bullshit job.”
There's at least one way to get people to eat less meat/fish:

Make plant based alternatives cheaper than the real thing. I would definitely buy impossible meat if it were cheaper than real beef. As it stands it is several times more expensive than real beef. Same for impossible fish (if such a thing were to exist).

If impossible fish sticks taste nearly identical to real fish sticks, but it's cheaper and plant-based, why wouldn't your average consumer buy impossible fish sticks for their kids?
"Therapy won't actually solve the problem, in any case. Therapy doesn't magically procure a wife."

Not having a wife is not the problem. There are plenty of people who live their entire lives single but don't turn in to hateful, bitter, violent trolls and assholes.

It's doubtful that getting married will turn these bitter, violent trolls around.

There's an entire culture that these people are part of which encourages these sorts of attitudes and behaviors, and simply getting married is unlikely to change their culture.

If you think the technology is there, what explains its lack of adoption? I don’t think McDonalds et al. are in the business of leaving easy optimization on the table.

(My own guess is that touch screens are still more expensive and buggy than humans, and machine-made food still trades off novelty to be profitable. But I don’t know.)
> We'd like to think this, and maybe some would do "interesting" things, but the fact is that most people turn into couch potatoes. People who retire early tend to die early; stop working and so will your body.

50/50, dude. I will never stop working -- but I'd like to work not for money. I want to work on what I find interesting, and some of it can actually be very productive for society. The mere coercion to work or you die of hunger or freeze under a bridge is ruining people's desire to do stuff outside of work -- that, and the fact that work is too time- and energy-consuming.

I don't dispute that a lot of people turn into couch potatoes when they don't have to work. But must this doom everybody else who would do interesting and society-benefitting work if given the chance? Is it fair that this chance is taken away because a huge chunk of humanity would just be useless in front of a TV?

I don't think it's fair.

Plus, if we actually have an economy supported mostly by robots, who cares if those people are couch potatoes, really? If that won't cause an economic crisis then why would this phenomena be important?
10+Reasons to Attend the Product-Led Growth Conference
No one thinks that non-existence can't be represented, and all but the most extreme proof languages have the possibility of runtime error.

Null is a mistake because it is (1) ubiquitously permitted in types and (2) non-composable.

(Point #2: This caused JavaScript to have "undefined" which is a second level of nonexistence)

The Maybe/Option pattern solves both these problems.

Nullable at least solves the first one.

When people criticize "null, the billion dollar mistake", they criticize the ubiquitous, non-composable form of null.

Why not have an IAirSpace interface or an abstract AirSpace class with two specializations? If there were processes that could handle either it should take an AirSpace class, one that could only handle one or the other took the specialization.

If the steps were the same for handling both, have step1...step(n) defined in the concrete class and have a coordinating “service” that just calls the steps and takes in an IAirSpace.
> It just works, you don't have to deal with systemd, things are kept simple, it's rock solid, works quite well under load, the networking layer is performant, PF is a well designed firewall

I don't mean to offend, but TBH there isn't anything terribly compelling there. I don't care either way for SysV/systemD, but distros still using SysV exist if it matters to you. CentOS et al are rock solid and work well under load, and have performant networking layers. FirewallD and UFW are also good firewall systems.
> have zero exposure to the culture of that country.

Even when that’s true—-and it often isn’t--they usually mean that they’re part of a specific American subculture.

Italian-Americans, for example, traditionally celebrate Christmas Eve with a “Feast of the Seven Fishes.” This dinner isn’t traditional in Italy, but it’s also not common in other American cultures either. An Irish-American family might have a turkey instead but they’re more likely to “observe” St. Patrick’s Day by eating soda bread and corned beef.

As an illustrative of pricing:

If your deployment can run in 256MB of RAM w/ 1 vCPU, handles an average request in under 250ms, transfers 200kb or less per request on average, and you get 2 requests/minute on average to your site:

The cost is around $2/month USD, which I feel is a more likely scenario for a side project vs the “pennies a month” the OP claims.

> Does he also avoid jargon and technical terms?

That's not really an appropriate comparison.

Jargon and technical terms are defined for specific topics. Within those topic they actually have distinct meanings and using them concisely conveys ideas that would be difficult or time consuming to convey otherwise.

That doesn't seem to be the case for alternative gender neutral pronouns. "Per", "ve", "xe", "yo", "ze", "zhe", etc. all as far as I can tell mean the same as gender neutral "they".
