I'm not sure if this is exactly what you were hoping for but I'm happy to answer questions!

On coaching:

Coaching is probably the best and worst job in esports, depending on the day. It's also a role that is completely misunderstood by the management of most organizations, to the extent that coaches have had their decision-making hamstrung by management. This is getting better as time goes on, and I expect that it will eventually get to a similar place as traditional sports. With all of that out there, coaching is just straight-up fun. It's awesome to be able to see people improve over time and to pull together all your resources to try new things and push to a higher level. Between playing, coaching, and managing, I feel coaching is the most rewarding.

On esports:

I'm honestly torn about the state of esports at the moment. On the one hand, I'm very bullish on its future and happy to see that it's come as far as it has (it wasn't anything like this back when I first fell in love with it in the early MLG days - about 2004?). On the other hand, I feel like a majority of the money coming in is straight up dumb. The Overwatch League is probably the best example. The moment it was announced, I pulled the plug on the game entirely because it was clear there was no way to make it work the way it was 'supposed to.'

However, if people continue to come into the space and invest in solid fundamentals (quality talent, management, and support) rather than fads (cough team Ember...), then the esports industry is going to thrive. In my opinion, it will become the 'new sports' but without the baggage of so much legacy. Esports has the potential to evolve and push the envelope in so many areas that the way we absorb 'sports' entertainment is going to change dramatically over the next decades.

(EDIT: To expand on the overwatch question)

The math behind the Overwatch Scene doesn't make much sense. If you compare the amount of capital drawn in vs the amount of money the average team can make, it's an extremely high-risk / low reward ecosystem to be involved in. That said, there aren't many organizations that actually turn a profit right now, and the valuation of everything is dubious at best. Almost every Overwatch player I know at this point is looking forward to Project A and praying, but only time will tell how that plays out.
> If your "security controls" depend upon other people volunteering to use some protocol then those weren't "security controls" they were more like "guidelines".

It isn't really a matter of security controls. Anything has always been able to create an encrypted tunnel on TCP/443 and send whatever over it.

The issue is administrative cost for cooperative applications. You have a local DNS that e.g. blocks known malicious domains and has the local names for other devices on your LAN. The user of each device doesn't want to prevent this, the application developer doesn't want to prevent it, but making that happen when applications default to using a third party DNS goes from setting the DNS via DHCP to changing a separate setting in every application on every device.

The suggested solution to this is to have the local DNS resolve a canary domain in a particular way which Firefox takes as a request not to use DoH by default. That basically works, but I still don't know what they intend to do when adversarial upstream DNS servers start resolving the canary domain that way. It would also work a lot better if there was a standard canary domain instead of every application making up their own.
We do it because those alt vendors don’t have the security or compliance options offered by AWS/GCP/Azure.

For example, I wanted to replicate GCS to another hosted block store so that we could have a backup of our systems outside of our GCP account (they have been known to lock accounts on small businesses and not be very helpful in fixing it, GCS itself has been as stable as S3 in my experience).

Anyhow, I really wanted to use Backblaze B2 service for this purpose. Unfortunately, they don’t have the kinds of security controls or third party audits our industry requires, and their sales team indicated it wasn’t on the roadmap. I appreciate that honesty, but it’s one more reason the major players have a leg up.

They amortize the cost of compliance to the point where you don’t see it. For a long time AWS charged a lot extra for it, but GCP did not and was cheaper anyway. Now AWS gives compliance away for “free” as well.

It often leaves me wondering about other startups... how secure are they, really? I know my industry is onerous, but a lot of it is just “common sense” security-wise. Why should my browsing history or e-commerce purchases be any different from my medical records, when there are ways to use former to reverse engineer the latter?
are you using or have you built and dashboards to track this sort of stuff? It seems like deprioritizing certain types of work to save money might warrant some sort of forecasting info. Should I rely on something happening today or not?
While the other commentors are correct that there's no Rust foundation, it is true that a member of the Fuchsia team is on the Rust language team, which does decide the direction of the language.

It was very much a pro for our users; like any open source project, we need contributors who are willing to help do the work. Fuchsia's experience with async/await was really important to validate that the design worked well; for example, many people think of it as a feature that's useful for web servers only, but Fuchsia demonstrated its validity in other contexts. Beyond semantics, it also helped with syntax; https://github.com/inejge/await-syntax was created during the debate about "prefix await," and was able to show us what a few variants of the syntax would look like in real-world code.

> If this is the case, I don't like it very much... That would be a Pro for C, or whatever language out of their reach (as in The Fuchsia project doesn't have the opportunity to influence the evolution of the language).

C has a standards process that anyone can get involved in, following ISO rules. Google is a major player in the C++ standards process too.
You're right but it's a tradeoff I guess. It seems like they want to optimise for developers building half decent looking apps with adaptive UIs across their platforms with less effort.
It's not quite that easy. It works for stateless services like transfers that can be just stop doing whatever they're doing. But presumably you don't want AWS to start deleting S3 buckets if a threshold is reached.

I actually tend to agree that, especially for hobbyist use, an automated hard cut off that cut out most further AWS service use would probably be desirable--even if some would (mis)use it in production environments and end up blowing up their site and complaining about it. I'm sympathetic to those who find the potentially open-ended nature of AWS billing to be bothersome. An alert is just an alert. There's no guarantee you'll be in a position to receive it and act on it in a timely manner.
> having “no plans” to enable this outside the USA seems a bit disingenuous.

I wonder if that’s why?
I'm not sure what the point would be of cameras inside my house, or of being able to watch any part of my property remotely. If I'm home, I'm home. If I'm not, I'm not, and there's little I can do about anything.

We had some packages stolen, so I did put up a porch cam. It consists of:

- An old laptop propped up vertically behind the front door
- A USB web cam clipped to the door, looking out and down
- sudo apt-get install mocam, and a little fiddling with config files

I get about 7 days of motion-triggered videos, which I can rsync over to my main laptop, but only if I'm on the home network. No clouds involved.
DOH can also be implemented on every server.
If you're going to write advice for a large audience, some of it is going to be old/obvious to experts. Part of that is because non-experts haven't heard the ideas, and part is because they have heard them but don't practice them. The ideas in "How to Win Friends and Influence People" have been widely publicized, yet they are still deep, timeless, and under-applied.

In other words: famous people who give bad advice (e.g., "I won the lottery, and so can you!") seems much more deserving of criticism than famous people who give unoriginal and yet still under-utilized advice. Indeed, if you are a famous person with legions of fans asking for your advice, and you've already written down your best non-trivial ideas for experts, it seems praiseworthy to help non-experts by telling them boring useful stuff.
> compilers are typically not exposed to security problems the way a, say, TCP/IP stack or image library is

Not typically, but I can think of at least one case where being able to control the output of a compiler would give you quite powerful abilities on a certain mobile OS.
Early risers have to "force" themselves to stay up late, since they got up so early in the morning. Really, changing one's "chronotype" is mostly just a matter of what you're used to, and what kinds of "stressors" you incur during the day. If you don't want to be a "night owl", don't do stressful stuff late in the afternoon or at night.

As it happens, I've read most of the TPR interviews (and extracted ~187 preferred writing times so far), as well as a parallel interview series run by GoodReads, and looked at/run various polls: https://www.gwern.net/Morning-writing

TPR interviews some rather strange and obscure writers, and overall they don't seem to be particularly anomalous. The overwhelming majority of writers, whether fiction or nonfiction, do seem to write in the morning, although it seems that younger and nonfiction types may be somewhat more likely to prefer later starts or writing in the evening.

(Samuel R. Delany, for example, whose interview I read the day before yesterday, reported in 2011 that he always gets up at 5AM to do his writing now, but as a young man he started later in the morning - similar to other reports by elderly writers contrasting their youthful later-timed writing to their present early-morning writing, describing themselves as no longer having the energy to write all day, which makes sense given the lifetime shifts in chronotypes from owl to lark and the difficulty of the elderly in sleep. And shades of OP, a decent number of afternoon/evening writers say something along the lines of 'I would write in the morning-afternoon while the kids were at school, but now that they're grown, I can write later in the day.')
They sure can! You can do an experiment with a paper towel hanging over the side of a bucket that has water in it. Check out how quickly it clogs up.
It's called "Newton's flaming laser sword" [0]. You should try harder to support the claims of others on this site; it's in the rules [1].

Here's some classic critique of PG's buffoonery [2]. It's simple: When anybody puts words to the page, they are trying to tell you something. All PG seems to be trying to communicate is how deep and thoughtful he is; I certainly don't feel like I'm drawing any other lessons from his writing, and it seems like I'm not alone.

I used to be a night owl but switched to being an early riser in the last 3 months. I didn't intend to switch and am not sure why it happened, but here's what happened that probably contributed to it:

- Started working out 1-2 hours per day (trail hiking/running)

- Stopped reading my iPhone in bed at night, now I just read my backlit Kindle

- Company switched to all-remote (used to commute to SF)

- Had a daughter (~9 months old now, so not coincident with the sleep switch)

- Almost all of my job responsibilities are management now (previously I was still doing more IC-like work)

- Cut down on sugar intake

If you asked me 3 months ago, I would have sworn I'd be a night owl for the rest of my life. So, this is quite a (pleasant) shock to me. Posting this in case it's helpful to anyone who's a night owl and thinks it's impossible for anyone to switch.

Actually this a very common practice for Apple and well known among seasoned devs. Apple’s shiny new things don’t really belong in production apps until a few major versions in. In my decade of iOS development experience prevailing wisdom has been that nothing has ever worked until at least a few major versions in and don’t belong in production apps unless you really love rewriting your entire codebase.

Good rule of thumb is an application usually needs to support at least one prior major iOS version and SwiftUI is only available on 13. Don’t know current adoption numbers but I believe there is still a significant % of users still on 12.

Just don’t be surprised when SwiftUI apps require major refactoring to work on iOS 14.

I haven’t even touched SwiftUI yet as I’m orders of magnitude more productive with RxSwift and every single realworld-ish example implementation I’ve seen makes my eyes bleed.

Can you expand a bit on why you pulled the plug because of there being “no way to make it work like it’s ‘supposed to’”? I’m actively working hard to improve at Overwatch to try and break into the tiered competitive scene, so any reservations about its future are of great interest to me and figuring out whether or not it’s a ship to move from at some point or not.

>The bodywork represents a swan gliding through water. The rear is decorated with a lotus flower design finished in gold leaf, an ancient symbol for divine wisdom. Apart from the normal lights, there are electric bulbs in the swan’s eyes that glow eerily in the dark. The car has an exhaust-driven, eight-tone Gabriel horn that can be operated by means of a keyboard at the back of the car. A ship’s telegraph was used to issue commands to the driver. Brushes were fitted to sweep off the elephant dung collected by the tyres. The swan’s beak is linked to the engine’s cooling system and opens wide to allow the driver to spray steam to clear a passage in the streets. Whitewash could be dumped onto the road through a valve at the back of the car to make the swan appear even more lifelike.

>The car caused panic and chaos in the streets on its first outing and the police had to intervene.

Probably has a DUI or 2. Also possible that they have a car worth a lot, but I think normally that goes through a specialty insurance company, or is just "self-insured" for collision coverage so the value of the car doesn't affect the premium.

Behringer are anti-Veblens, which annoys people who believe that technology should be an expensive and exclusive wealth signal.

In reality cloning - if not outright theft of designs and ideas - has been rife in the synthesizer industry since the earliest days.

Some Eurorack modules are more or less literal clones of "famous" designs. The only difference is the graphics. So cloning is not exclusively a Behringer issue.

Generally, most of the big name synthesizer companies are lagging far behind the Eurorack market for innovation. Behringer are taking advantage of this by filling that niche.

Given that they also produce original products - like the Wing and the X32 mixers - I expect they'll produce some original synth designs when they've exhausted the clone market.

But synth players are not particularly adventurous, and nostalgia sells, so the clone market is where most of the money is for now.

FYI 100 grams of walnuts has 654 kcal, roughly equivalent to 350 grams of French fries, or... 400 grams of chicken breast, which also happens to have 124 grams of protein, which no natural vegan source can match. Or 650 grams of cod w/ 148 grams of protein.

Show me the people that got fat from eating boiled chicken breast or cod. Show me the studies that show any kind of association between lean meat and disease for that matter.

Also 500 grams of watermelon, which we can easily eat at a single meal has 150 kcal and about 6 teaspoons of sugar (fructose and sucrose).

Show me the people that got fat or sick from eating too much watermelon.

In your first link, there was one memory corruption vulnerability in Chrome last year. If we're looking at RCEs, CVE-2019-5762 and CVE-2019-5756 appear to have the same root cause (a memory bug), and CVE-2018-6118, CVE-2018-6111, and CVE-2017-15401 (which is also the memory corruption vulnerability) are also memory bugs. So it looks like Chrome had ~4 serious memory vulnerabilities last year.

Don't have time to dig right now, but it appears similar observations hold for [1].

1) other applications or malware won't respect canary domain

2) to implement this canary, you have to break DNSSEC on entire .net root domain. Great.
