Using a rebase to update from master will cause conflicts for anyone else working on the PR branch. To understand why, imagine a developer branches from master at commit A, and then creates two commits on the branch B and C. In the meantime, master gets updated with commits D and E. Rebasing in this situation, results in a branch that looks like A, D, E, F, G, where F and G contain the same content as B and C, but are now tracked under different hashes. If a collaborator has this branch, git will report the local branch has two different commits (B and C) and that the remote branch has two different commits (F and G). Doing a typical “git pull” in this situation will lead to merge conflicts in everything touched by commits B and C. You can work around this specific problem by using git pull —rebase. However, git works best when the remote history is immutable. If you have a specific commit in your PR that you want someone to look at, you send them a link to it using the commit hash. Once you rebase, that commit hash will no longer point to anything. Rebasing is useful for completely changing the branch your PR branch is cut from. But once you rebase from one base branch to another, you should then continue to merge from the new base branch.
You don't "fix" loneliness with an external tool. The only solution to fix this is inside you (and it hurts if you do it right).

Thinking this way is utterly toxic. It puts 100% of the onus to resolve an issue on the individual with no room for people to help each other. You might as well be telling depressed people to "think happy thoughts more" or telling anxious people to "snap out of it and be more resourceful".

No amount of claiming "tech is bad" will change the fact that tech is a great way of connecting people. If an app is useful to bring people who need help together with people who want to help them then that is a very good thing.
Yes, I usually agree.

We do have something in writing and my lawyer is taking it seriously. What bothers me, if a bigger name than I is claiming my work as his own, what impact that will have on my career?
> When people don't feel their taxes are fair, they start to evade those. They might be also just greedy bastards, but I don't think that's necessarily commonly the case.

No, normal people do not. Tax evasion is a serious crime. People don't start doing criminal acts when they just feel something "isn't fair".
I hire from these sites semi regularly, so looking a bit from the other side plus peeps I talk with who work regularly on these platforms.

I suspect it is hard to start. I tend to go for proven performers and even then it's full of low quality.

Some peeps I use do very well, are full on work (full time) with ever increasing rates.

I think the best strategy is to bid low, like crazy low. Yeah it sux but it's like starting your career again. You need to build reputation and take whatever job you can to get in the door. Make sure you get 5 stars. If you get a bad rating first few jobs I'd kill the account and start again as these are damaging without quality references to offset.

Approach with the restart mindset. Experience people who think they can join and get their real life career rate off the bat are likely dreaming. It seems a multi year commitment to build a network, and in the same way I filter 5-10 freelancers to get a decent one I'll keep working with, you likely need to do the same with clients.

And if I was trying to hack it, I'd ask existing clients if they mind using me on said platform to help build reputation faster.

And if your truly looking to work for top dollar, it's the wrong environment.
There is more to athletics and sports than American sports.

Most European countries have a professional football players union, and their contracts are owned by the club, and not within a monopoly like with American sports. The same goes for referees, coaches, managers, etc.

Again, the amount of money these people are paid can be very high, and while many players don't use the union for things like negotiating pay, they rely on the union for other types of representation.
But how does the NIC know that, 11 hops away, there is a layer 2 device, which cannot communicate with the NIC(switches do not typically have the ability to communicate directly with the devices generating the packets), that only supports a 1500 byte frame?

Now you need Path MTU discovery, which as the article indicates, has its own set of issues. (Overhead from trial and error, ICMP being blocked due to security concerns, etc...)

Yes, since around 2000's when willing to pay for third party SDKs.

> Im doing l my share, are you ? HN does lean towards the light from what i can see.

I think, in general, HN leans a little towards the light but that is true of humanity in general.

But, there is a boat load of toxicity in this very discussion.
It would be nice to corroborate this reason with another source, because my understanding is that clock synchronization was not a factor in determining the MTU, which seems really more like a OSI layer 2/3 consideration.

I am surprised the PLLs could not maintain the correct clocking signal, since the signal encodings for early ethernet were "self-clocking" [1,2,3] (so even if you transmitted all 0s or all 1s, you'd still see plenty of transitions on the wire).

Note that this is different from, for example, the color burst at the beginning of each line in color analog TV transmission [4]. It is also used to "train" a PLL, which is used to demodulate the color signal transmission. After the color burst is over, the PLL has nothing to synchronize to. But the 10base2/5/etc have a carrier throughout the entire transmission.

Looks like a ripe low-hanging fruit for SpaceX Starlink to pick..
Same here and I completely agree.

Easy, low effort communication has allowed me to much better overcome my poor socialization/abusive childhood and make friends much easier than before. Even something as simple as having a GPS has opened up a lot of doors, as there's places I will go to now that I wouldn't attempt to go to ~10 years ago due to the fear of getting lost.
Because plenty of managed languages do support AOT compilation to native code, including Java.
I like this quote of his about the boers.. disclaimer I have some boer blood myself..
“Take a community of Dutchmen of the type of those who defended themselves for fifty years against all the power of Spain at a time when Spain was the greatest power in the world. Intermix with them a strain of those inflexible French Huguenots who gave up home and fortune and left their country for ever at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The product must obviously be one of the most rugged, virile, unconquerable races ever seen upon earth. Take this formidable people and train them for seven generations in constant warfare against savage men and ferocious beasts, in circumstances under which no weakling could survive, place them so that they acquire exceptional skill with weapons and in horsemanship, give them a country which is eminently suited to the tactics of the huntsman, the marksman, and the rider. Then, finally, put a finer temper upon their military qualities by a dour fatalistic Old Testament religion and an ardent and consuming patriotism. Combine all these qualities and all these impulses in one individual, and you have the modern Boer—the most formidable antagonist who ever crossed the path of Imperial Britain. Our military history has largely consisted in our conflicts with France, but Napoleon and all his veterans have never treated us so roughly as these hard-bitten farmers with their ancient theology and their inconveniently modern rifles.”
Here's my personal, not so useful take on this. At some point, there will be some confusion with so many TLDs and names (if it's not there already). This is why it's more important to worry about your brand name being unique or recognizable first and then worry about which TLDs to use. Marketing should take care of surfacing your domain.TLD in searches and social media.

If you don't have a business with profit in hundreds of millions of dollars a year (or revenues in billions of dollars a year with no profit), then you should just go with whatever domain and TLD you get, preferring the originals, like .com and .net, then preferring any ccTLDs, and then preferring other TLDs. I don't think many common people recognize and understand that something like .google or .amazon is really a website address. Don't worry about the TLDs that you cannot get because of the price or because it's being squatted.

If you do have a business with profit in hundreds of millions of dollars a year (or revenues in billions of dollars a year with no profit), spend a low fraction of a digit percent of it on brand management by engaging a company that can help you figure out the right mix of domain name, brand value, which squatted domain to buy, how to buy it for cheaper, etc.
Engineering Management Lessons
Sure, but you never know which way it will go but this is assuming the 737 MAX gets recertified by the FAA and operators are going to buy them because it is cost-effective or whatever. This means that the group that doesn't have a 737 MAX is going to be smaller and therefore harder/way more expensive to avoid.

I would say it is often even opposite of it - black/grey markets help to stay in power. When everybody is breaking some law, buying something [almost] illegally, everybody wants to stay quiet.

Everybody that is involved in the wind power scene that I know was super skeptical about Makani. Those are people that have been building wind power installations for decades. Criticisms ranged from complexity to zoning, land use, safety and efficiency compared to more traditional designs. Moonshots are great if you have an actual goal that is achievable and will give you an advantage if it succeeds. Keep in mind that the original 'moonshot' (going to the moon!) was a PR effort, not something that was meant to be sold, turn a profit or done on a large scale. It was simply a massive PR job to try to recover from the double hit of first satellite and first man in space victories the USSR scored over the USA. This whole project to me looked like a Google level version of Armadillo space, interesting but ultimately going nowhere. Shell may keep it alive as a PR item, they will need all the help they can get on that front but I really doubt it will ever be used in production anywhere in volumes that matter.

The easiest way to compare Makani to stationary wind installations out there generating power today is to look at the effective cross section of the rotors and to realize that a moving rotor consumes exactly the same amount of power in lift that it uses going forward. So that will cancel out across the loop leaving you with a bunch of small rotors vs a much larger rotor sweeping an enormous surface. And launching it is one thing, bringing it back in in a storm is a completely different proposition.

A 12MW Makani installation would use much more land and would be much more fragile than a comparable regular HAWT.
I don’t think the article says that anywhere.

It does however state that the issue was rectified after spending 30 minutes on the phone with the home office.

I would like to point out, that having structured information as "bytes" or "text" is general and universal, but pretty much no one uses it as such. Maybe for simple append, or maybe for tasks like "count number of bytes". But every time you want to do something with the actual structure, you end up using ad-hoc parsers.

Unix utilities sound like a great thing, because how universal they are. Want to find something in text? Just use grep, or maybe with regexp. But what this really say is "use a parser made from simple condition", or "create parser using single character pattern matching language". And ok, this would be fine, if it really worked, but it can't really handle the structure. It may be great for admin, who just wants to quickly find something, but it is horrible and broken by design for anyone who really want to make something more permanent. So you end up with writing better parser / using library. And you are not working with text anymore, but with typed graphs / trees. And this happens every single time you actually do something even slightly complicated with "just text".
I think we have, for better or worse. When I think of frontend JS these days, what comes to mind is Angular, React, Vue, Svelte, etc. jQuery feels (and is) simple in comparison.

All the more surprising - I've been building frontend UIs from the late 90s, starting with plain JS, to prototype, to jQuery and onwards. I'm kinda amazed over how my perception of 'what is normal/acceptable in JS' has slowly but steadily changed over time.

The Microsoft Docs change from MSDN was horrible (and still is). A lot of content got mysteriously mangled for no discernable reason. Their KB articles, which used to be excellent, have mostly been "disappeared" too. You can see a vast difference in quality between the newly-written pages and what was inherited from before. I find spelling and grammar errors often in the newer pages.
Let me ask you this: wouldn't make more sense to publish a rfc for a more strict JOSE (i.e only secure alg; no "none" option etc) and at the same time develop a secure by default JOSE library rather than to invent a new protocol, with a new format and new libraries? I can surely write some bad libraries for PASETO and someone could come up with the same arguments against PASETO like the OP.

is there anything authoritative, comprehensive, and deep?

I would recommend the official spec. It won't be an easy read, unless you're already used to reading standardese, but there's nothing more authoritative than that.
Well, you convinced me. It's an interesting project idea.

Concerning user interface, I think the ordinary user interface of such a system would have to be application based. Rather than increasingly impure desktop metaphor, you simply list the applications available to user. They open the application and select from the available documents. You would have some kind of list of filters, including automatically maintained filters (like "time last opened") and manually maintained tags.

You could probably have a power users interface that is "the file manager". But it's just the normal file picker, without a default filter of "files i know how to open".

But you still have a problem when you export a file. How do you export that compressed audio stream when you want to send it to your friend? You need to identify all the metadata and reconstruct an MP3 file. Presumably you could implement version 0 of this without changing the file storage, since file importer/exporter is kinda crucial. So you just cache the important data somewhere.

It would all be more important if files were still as relevant as they used to be. I used to have ogg vorbis files and photos and everything. Nowadays, it's really only code and occasionally a document. Otherwise I'm in my web browser or on an app on my phone.

> Most complaints, even very good ones, are uninteresting reading.

Many people have valid complaints about StackOverflow's community building, feedback system, moderation, how it prioritises questions and answers, behaviour of people on the site. These are fine interesting discussions about how useful it is, how effectively it works, how a better site might work, how it feels to participate, and can make for interesting reading. Many other people's complaint is that they went to stackoverflow, didn't follow the site rules, the people using stackoverflow approximately upheld the site rules, and now the poster acts in a way that shows they feel personally slighted by the fact that a site exists which rejected them. This not only makes for uninteresting reading, it's also an unfair attack on stackoverflow which ought to be allowed to exist with any legal rules it likes, without being slighted for simply having rules of some sort of other.

> That's obviously wrong.

If what you suggest I'm saying is "obviously wrong", then come on, you can do better than that, "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation".

> Did you honestly think I was saying it was mandatory? Come on, you can do better than that. "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation"

You made up some things you "have to do" and then complained that you don't want to have to do those things to hack the site to let you do what you want. Objecting to that whole premise is my point. "You think it's mandatory" is the strong interpretation, the weak one is that you're deliberately building a strawman of things you "have to do" which don't actually exist. 1) you don't need to hack or farm, you can genuinely participate. 2) you don't need to post niche questions or hunt popular questions, you can deal with normal questions. 3) If you do this, you won't be able to jump quickly to the thing you want. This is not a problem with the site, this is part of its design, if you dislike that design then we're back to "the site is not mandatory" and if you want to be so great you don't have to go through the normal processes then we're back to "how should the site know that you're not a total spambot if you won't go through the procedure they've setup which involves community feedback on the things you do (which paying money would not involve)?

I personally feel that commits should be as granular as sanely possible – obviously some refactors and complex changes must be monolithic (and therefore need a lot more testing!) but generally having more commit granularity means `git bisect` is more powerful.

Unit and Integration Testing
The author's point is that if our APIs worked with structured data instead of byte streams, then we wouldn't need to care about the in-memory format. The standard API would do the hard work for us, allowing us to call send(fd, my_struct);

Since there's no standard API (blessed by the OS) and the lowest common denominator is byte streams, we're seeing all these ad-hoc solutions and a hodgepodge of formats and libraries to deal with. That's lots and lots of time and money spent on rather basic stuff.
