Popular culture is always both smaller and larger than you expect. Especially in music, where particular events loom huge in the canonical history but then you realise that there can only have been a tiny number of people actually there (e.g. the famous Manchester Free Trade Hall Sex Pistols gig). But conversely it's possible to stumble across a vibrant, long-lasting, close scene of people that you've never heard of, with its own memes and legends.

But the big era of a single, national popular culture was very much a product of the TV age. The easy identification of a decade with a single music genre and clothing style is over. We're fragmented now; Game of Thrones feels big but has a narrower reach than the big pop culture movements of the mid-20th century.

Find your niche. It's OK. But don't mock the niches of others.
And even then mmap does not guarantee performance. So for example just don't use mmap for small files, and for larger ones benchmark to see if you really get some perf.

As for the code, if you just can let it crash, prefer that to attempting to handle it, because this kind of handling is even worse to test and debug than normal error code paths.
People who are at the top of whatever they do also have many other forms of income-- consultancies, speaking engagement, board positions, but also often get paid better.

Brave does feel good, but it would be better if the spyglass at the bottom was "find in page" and not Search, since we have an omnibar.
A “how to use” section in your readme would be helpful.
The ephemeral siloed web contradicts everything people who grew up with the internet thought it stands for, and for people who still do phone calls, there is no real need for sharing pseudo-fleeting messages, that what whatsapp is for.

And from what I understand, the period where you need to be in constant contact or broadcast to more than 10 people is pretty limited to school and early higher ed for most people in my experience.

So unless stories become a way to keep in touch with your offsprings, I don't see a need or near normalness of these communication methods among people born before '85.
Ok that was a small beer-bottle-over-the-head moment.

Does this sort of disaster have a specific name? I realize it's a type of XSRF but I don't know of any contractions for "I was erroneously supplied working credentials and this needs fixing".

This reminds me of the practice of digging through GitHub for leaked credentials.
This is basically the same sequence I use (cold showers for over a year).
Prefer a per diem rule. This can be a problem if you're my friend who services CT scanners around the globe because cost of living varies so much (the same price of overnight stay in two cities is the difference between a nightmare hostel and 5 star luxury) but if you mostly do the same trips especially in country a rule that says here's say $20 per day for food is easier than collecting and uploading receipts for every burger and coke.

It's easier for you, and instead of fighting expenses abuse and having a bunch of workers to check the expenses paperwork the business just has an understandable cost when it sends people to do their jobs.

You're not alone. The book "Type and Layout" by Colin Wheildon describes a "readability" experiment measuring the impact of various typographical techniques on whether subjects comprehend a magazine article. Light text on black background performed abysmally.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1875750223

(Naturally I believe people who say white-on-black works for them, but I don't believe that preference is universal or should be a default if readability is an important criteria.)
Actually one of the reason why I wrote this program is to test the terminal performances. When I'm searching the benchmark data of Alacritty, I found this issue https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/289#issue-2001... where the existing Matrix rain program "cmatrix" is mentioned. I tried "cmatrix" in my terminal (I'm using a terminal which I wrote from scratch for myself) and found that the Matrix rain of "cmatrix" is cheaper than I expected. That is the reason why I wrote "cxxmatrix", a version with additional optical effects written in C++.

It's absolutely crucial that masks actually filter out very fine particulates. N95 masks are rated to filter out >=95% of 0.3 micron particles. You probably have the stock to make something close enough to a typical surgical mask, but that's not going to protect the wearer from Coronavirus, at best it would prevent a contagious patient from spreading it. You also need to form the mask such that the edges will seal against the face. I doubt you have suitable filter media on hand, and tight woven fabric will not cut it here. It's significantly harder to trap virus laden particles in the air after they've dried out, so coarse filter media is only going to be effective if it's right in front of the source where the breath is still hot and humid.
"Delight is seeing your customer’s pupils dilate because they’re so ecstatic about your 10x change."

IMO this kind of small-scale and shortsighted focus is holding SV-style innovation back. Twitter has no route to profit (last I heard) but it is a key factor in modern global events, for good or bad.

We need more Elon Musk-style megaprojects and fewer Facebook killers.

Agreed. I think most people don't realize how massive of a technical challenge it is to shard something as large and complex as the Ethereum blokchain without introducing critical security vulnerabilities.

When you combine the complexity of the system, the constant need to try to maintain backwards compatibility and the sheer number of people involved in the project, you have every reason to be skeptical.
Have a look at liquibase and flyway. Personally I love using flyway together with jOOQs' code generation (concretely, running the migrations against a docker db container during build, and code-generating the entities/records then based on it).

> how much freedom 24 seed words give in times of crisis. You could move a billion dollars stashed in pages of a harlequin novel through every border & customs check and nobody would ever know. Try that with physical materials.

But there's a problem: you never moved the money at all. You need to bookend it with two transactions to move the real money in and out of the bitcoin system, which nearly always involves intersecting the controls of the real system. It's more like hawala banking. And can suffer 50% exchange rate swings in a very short time.

It's not admirable or useful, no. But, I find it's kind of relaxing to have a near total lack of FOMO. I've become the guy I never thought I'd become, but I'm totally comfortable with that.

No really interestimg results, they just measured overall activity without giving any reference for "neutral" forum behaviour in this summary.

Apparently no effort was made to track what they actually talked about, so its hard to see any utility of this result for understandig extremism.
> I Have Seen Things

It can be a funny experience coming late to pivotal work of popular culture, I somehow managed to miss out on Blade Runner until quite recently, and watching it felt like a putting a missing jigsaw piece into place.

Another one I came late to was Anchorman. Suddenly a lifetime's worth of people's odd remarks and affected mannerisms fell into their proper place.
> Hand donations are rare, because few families are willing to donate limbs fearing disfiguration of the body even though a prosthetic limb is fitted to the donor’s body.

In my opinion, this state of things is a strong argument for utilitarianism for organ transplantation[1].

For me, it is hard to find a measure in which an additional discomfort during a funeral[2] outweighs the discomfort of living with a life-altering disability (e.g. no hands) or well, dying (which affects their family members, friends, etc).

[1] I support an option that people may personally opt-out of the system, meaning that they don't agree for their own body to be donated (and agree they won't be a recipient).

[2] In many places closed-coffin funerals are a standard, regardless of the state of the deceased.
I don't like the article - too many words, too many digressions. Also the chosen catch-phrase is poor.

As long as GitHub does it wrong, you won't be able to "train people" not to hit the big juicy green button, that should be really a big red "Emergency Merge - Can Break The Receiving Branch" button.

How play is a vital part of work
I've also been following the progpow debate rather closely for the last 1.5 years. ProgPoW is supposed to be a simple PoW change to keep ETH1 asic resistant now that asics have been developed.

This is a 2 year old codebase that has had a paid audit and tons of eyes on it. Just this week, someone discovered and announced an issue. While the fix is relatively trivial, the amazing thing is that it went unnoticed for so long.

I can only imagine ETH2, which is a brand new codebase, whole new consensus model, using cutting edge research (zkSNARKS) and shaped like a rube goldberg machine, will be full of issues nobody has even dared to imagine. I couldn't imagine trusting billions of dollars of value to that literally over night.
> To me, it’s a sort of humblebrag - because I’m older than you, my opinions are more valuable.

I am getting older too, but I’m constantly learning things from people younger than me - increasingly more so than those older than me. And that’s okay.

Sure I’ve done more and seen more but how much of it is actually relevant? Some for sure, but this world changes so fast. Are my opinions valuable? Yes. More so simply because of my age? No.

Ask HN: What non-technical books helped you career the most?
Make sure that you've set the correct cache control headers on the S3 objects. So "Max age" should be something far future for static assets and something near future for HTML files.

If you forget that then Cloudfront will retrieve the objects from S3 every time there is any activity on your site and your bill will go up really fast.
Pair Programming is a complete crock of shit. If you hire someone to do a job, either they can do their job, or they cannot. If you cannot trust someone to perform and deliver work up to a certain standard, do not hire them. Is there any other industry where you hire two people to do one job?!

Now there are certainly times when it is very valuable to do collaborate, such as rubber duck debugging https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging or mentoring or simply doing a 'desk check'. But these are the exceptions, not the rule. Having someone breathing down your neck or be a back seat driver all day is at best a waste of productivity, forcing the driver to think at the pace of the observer, and at worst, a complete waste of time and effort.

The article does feel a bit like propaganda. Environmental groups are notorious in the region for being used as political instruments to halt all manner of construction. When a new road is to be built, you’ll have environmental agitators coming out of the woodwork claiming that the road would cross a newly discovered frog habitat and that it would lead to the deaths of many frogs trying to cross the road. Never mind that there are ways to manage even those situations.

The important thing is to weigh the human benefits against the overall negative impacts of a project. Environmental extremism generally smacks of foreign interests trying to keep the status quo and the region from flourishing economically and thus competing with them, or at least making things economically inconvenient.

There is quite a history of such self-serving foreign meddling that involves patronizing appeals to all manner of fashionable sentiment, hence my skepticism.
there is good reason for this though.

Mixing different generations of cpu's makes it very hard to allow live migrations/failover of certain workloads if they depend on instructions or features that are present in some CPU generations and not in others.
this gets even more confusing if you look at the product segmentation intel does on it's cpu's. Newer CPU's might not support all features older cpu's do for instance.

That's false, I asked you to do an estimation, not to start the coding yet. All our coding tests are publicly accessible in gitcoin as bounties, so if what you say is true you could raise this issue with them (but you will not be able because there was no bounty involved in your case, right? I wonder why.)
So I did a quick look and it seems like the total usage of siacoin is not that large.

https://siastats.info/hosts_network Only 710 TB is in use. Or about $20k worth of hardware TOTAL for the entire network, according to the above URL.

Also, why is this a cryptocurrency at all? Wouldnt this business be drastically simplified by simply paying people out//letting people rent space with either USD or bitcoin?

Opting out of the system would require to spend some time with the people these incredibly selfish people deny from a hope of a better life.

That would need to be a strict oup out system, no questions asked to anyone if no opt out.

Finally, the opt out system should be designed by the people who designed some gov sites (crazy captchas, scrollbar behaving erraticaly, confusing questions, pale on pale colors, internet explorer 6 required)

Why Grocery Shopping Is on Its Way Out
Anyone using these terms (Gen X,Y,Z, boomer, millenial, etc) in a serious conversation/post without defining it is part of the problem. And maybe even just trying to somehow lump together hundreds of millions of people just because they are around the same age makes less and less sense. (Especially the anthropomorphization, that all X are lazy/dumb/entitled/etc.)
Not just extremes in what he swallowed: he’s notorious for “La Comédie Humaine” [0] his dozens of novels are actually set in the same fictional world, with consistent characters across decades. You can take excerpts from several books to tell a completely original story. It’s the most detailed world ever described —from individual thoughts to gruesome details about poverty, up to overarching consequences of the industrial revolution on the remaining aristocracy.

Is it over? Hipsters, for example, were a large, identifiable group that I would say is only just fading now. In a decade or so the 2010s will be thought of as the hipster fashion generation with full body tats, beards, etc., even though the vast majority of people didn't dress like that.

I was watching some teeny, zombie show on Netflix a few months ago that still clearly delineated teens into identifiable groups, though nerds are cool, and the group that would have been the actual nerds in times past identified themselves as just 'awkward'.

AFAIK, tribality is built into our DNA, I can't see it ever disappearing, people want to belong.

You can even point to some TV series like 'Russian Doll' that capture the fashion style and the 'essence' of this era.
