“I’m going out on a limb here but I seem to remember...“

Offers no sources. Just rambling on a limb.

Throw in behind the back claims of fear mongering by the author, I know the type. Do they know that’s the author’s motivation? Note how rhetorically circular emotional positioning gets.

Thanks for assuming all of us aren’t paying attention and couldn’t possibly possess a legit view if you don’t.

Having achieved grad degrees in math, joined into debates of reality and consciousness at length with experts, and generally just existed in human culture for 40 years, I have a pretty good emotional sense of when an argument is just ego fluffing nonsense.

I am a recursive axiomatic system too and can pick from numerous conscious positions to build on. None of them have to be the one you’d start from. Or vetted in reality, since we’ll take rambling on limbs as enough to get into a debate about.

Which is my point ultimately, social media is just low effort social normalization to inaction. Let’s upvote this anecdote and not bother further.

If the effort isn’t going to be there to take it seriously, why bother with social media discourse and all the mechanical effort to babysit it? What a waste of time and precious resources to prop up millions of digital tribal spaces for low effort thought work.

Tech nerds build the most useless spaces for themselves to wank in.

Otherwise I stated all links above and you won't reply to it.

M3 provides local storage but is not experimental, on top of that with cluster replication which VictoriaMetrics does not provide, and has a kubernetes operator to help scale out a cluster.

Disclosure: I work on the TSDB underlying M3 (M3DB) at Uber. Still worth checking out though!
I suggest checking out M3DB[1]. My team & I use it to serve metrics for all of Uber, we have ~1500 hosts across various clusters. It's serving us quite well.

This kind of response just further proves that our "economy" only serves to enrich wealthy VCs. We can provide enough food, and housing, and other necessities that people in the country need. Where will the money come from? Where did the money for this $2T bailout come from? It can come from the same place -- just instead of funneling it to rich corporations, we should give it the American people so they can eat.
Democratic People's Republic of China is what I believe he was referencing, though it's officially the People's Republic of China - maybe confusing the PRC with the DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo)?

> nothing is worse off if it is encrypted

Performance and power consumption of low-end devices.
The thing is, if you run Istio there’s a standard setting for getting it to do the TLS for you. Indeed, half the features of istio wouldn’t work if you did the TLS yourself. So you kind of need plaintext protocols even if you’re only running them internally within a single (logical) machine.
I like how tcp/ip operates below the encryption layer so encryption schemes can be easily changed.
Where are you getting the raw data? I'm extracting it from the New York Times dataset for my own graphing. They have the data for all counties in the US. I've been meaning to automate the graphing but for now doing it manually.

I wish you had the new cases per day graphed for all the bay area counties because that is what I monitor.
They all do have track record until they don't. The LTCM guy, the PIMCO guy etc.. There were so many of them.

You simply don't hear about guys who do not have track record until they do..
Not to mention that when the healthcare system gets overloaded with all the covid-cases, everything else that requires medical intervention also becomes dangerous.
>That's 40 million people who will have no income and likely no health care in the middle of a pandemic.

if the government were to help regular people that would be say $1T/40M = $25K - one can survive a month or two on that (and those money would have naturally trickled promptly up thus also supporting the top of the economy - corporations, banks, etc. - instead of being directly accumulated there like in the current trickle down approach). My understanding that is what they ultimately did in Great Depression - by way of public works and rudimentary safety net - though the things had to get really bad before they did it, and one can only wonder how much things have to get bad this time.
In my experience any team anywhere can turn any codebase into soup!

Well, think of all the man hours they spent creating “features” like installing a backdoor on MacOS that allowed them to reinstall Zoom after the user explicitly uninstalled it.
I use Insomnia as well. There's a few Postman features I miss, but I like that it's slightly less heavy, and I like the Insomnia UI a lot better. They've been responsive to my feedback over email, and I think they have the right idea.

VS Code proves that a developer tool with nice UI, lots of features, and workable performance is possible. What's yet to be seen is if it can be done to the same degree by a team without the resources of Microsoft or Slack.

I'd love to see Insomnia implemented as a PWA. I would bet there's some technical challenges involved there, but PWAs have the advantage of re-using the browser instance I already have running to do my work and read HN.
There is no accusation, you're just playing with words to deflect the situation and make it on me instead on the real issue here which is about a company that had more frontpage posts of free positive publicity than most FAANG companies in the last month with a staggering 100% hit rate.
Github's on the list to support, yeah. We can speak most "identity provider" protocols these days (OAuth, OIDC, SAML, etc.), but it's this weird little universe: the protocols are meant to let you implement once to support everyone, but in practice every IdP has its own little idiosyncrasies that mean you need a little bit of dedicated code for each new IdP. So, we end up with a backlog of "support IdP X, which is ostensibly OAuth but does something strange we've never seen yet" :)
Not having password protection enabled seems like an unfortunate default, but I guess it's not that surprising given the number of "barriers" that Zoom attempts to bypass when you join a call.

Which still doesn't give them the location of your GPS receiver.

It also applies even less to Tor, because they "turn off" GPS by encrypting it so that only their own receivers can use it. Doing the same thing with Tor both doesn't work because they don't run all of the relays, and doesn't work because it would compromise the anonymity of their own users if they were ever the only ones using it.
I work on the supply chain, capital expenditure team at an electric car company and I can tell you none of the books listed below will help you. Get an internship or offer to work for someone for free. Supply Chain Management is one of those things that is best learned on the job. You need to 'learn' your supply base/ vendors who do good work, you need to learn how to negotiate things like payment terms instead of just price, how to effectively track you 100+ things you need to buy that day. All the books listed below are great if you are a factory production manager, but will never help you in an entry level supply chain job.

You need masks based on the number of patients, not the number of patients per capita, it makes perfect sense. Not that I'm defending this.
> All systems can be represented as a pair of functions that map current state to next state and the observation of current state, in response to some perturbation.

If you are assuming the next state depends on the current state, doesn't this work for only Markov system i.e where you can make predictions for the future based solely on its present state?

There's a whole bunch of systems where this doesn't apply, no?
You can uphold your morals if your morals are different. Not like morals are encoded in law or need to adhere to progressive leftist political views.

For instance: algorithm copyrights and patents are BS. It is immoral to patent a mathematical recipe. Wikileaks turned out to be a dangerous threat. It is immoral to launder Russian intelligence and hide your non-redacted Tor exit node stolen data dumps as journalism. It is nonsense to require a company to be unable to hire for culture fit, and immoral to claim your genetic make-up made all the difference for you not getting a job. It is silly not to make allowed use of Facebook data to help your campaigning client, and it is immoral to attack this, just because it resulted in a President you do not like, while ignoring the fact that social media "engagement" was what won your favorite pick a presidency before that. It is immoral to oppose creating technology for the police to combat human trafficking, illegal immigration, gang violence, and drug problems, under the banner of woke anti-racism.

> Virtually nobody accepts Bitcoin as a currency. Some shops accept Bitcoin as the vehicle for transactions in USD or EUR, or whatever. They use services like Bitpay, who pay out in ordinary currencies. Prices are calculated based on the Bitcoin market price in ordinary currencies - plus a markup for volatility and transaction fees, which is generally more expensive than just using the ordinary currencies themselves.

I mean if you just want to ignore the fact that all over Europe, you can pay rent, buy groceries, and live your life solely by using bitcoin, then I guess there's no arguing with you. You live in your own little bubble.

Not a good idea to use 9 to 11 digit long IDs with no password requirement by default; they should have used at least 128-bit random ids, i.e. 21 character long base64-encoded strings.
It’s like if you paid for a new car and when you want to unlock it and drive it home someone else pays two times more and takes it from you.

That’s not not allowed even in the freest markets in the world.
"nothing is worse off if it is encrypted" is a pretty big oversimplification. Layer 7 proxies and firewalls frequently use packet data to make more intelligent decisions about where to route packets, whether to drop packets, whether to modify packets, etc.
They're specifically doing QUIC as a way to move TCP to up into the application space so they can iterate more quickly. Ideally, a lot of these concepts could be adopted into TCP stacks eventually.
The article implies that they weren't paying millions. Am I reading that right?
thank you for your kind words
I'm not sure I understand the logic here. Webfonts are a thing now, which makes all kinds of fonts, both free and expensive, available for websites. How is that anything but a good thing?

Of all the things that message board copyright activists get up-in-arms about, it's hard to imagine one where they have a weaker case than typefaces. Literally nobody needs an expensive typeface; we have more high-quality free typefaces now than anyone has had... basically in all of human history.
And particularly embedded devices. Just because we can make very fast cpu's nowadays doesn't mean that every cpu is that fast.
So you profiled the sites enough to understand that the actual bottleneck for these sites was the framework CPU/memory overhead?

I don't know what the requirements of these sites are, but throwing out all the things you get with a framework such as a battle-hardened authentication system for "plain old PHP" hardly seems like a pragmatic decision. Was a full rewrite in a base language only really an easier/superior decision then finding more simply caching solutions (which many frameworks support out of the box)?
Interesting app.

You should allow the creator of the chat room to adjust the self-destruct countdown, so that users can choose between 30 mins, 1 hr, 6 hrs, 12 hrs, 24 hrs - and also provide a dialog to confirm the change. Also automatically add entry to the chat that the countdown has changed to self-destruct at [X] time.

> I am absolutely shocked it took someone this long

Because it's really hard to monetize it. Speaking from the experience.

Edit - This particular bicycle gets reinvented on regular basis and in a nearly identical form. While technical details are difficult, the overall idea is rather simple. Rendezvous servers to coordinate the setup and NAT traversal + relays to handle the edge cases. The tricky part is the UX... but it's still nothing compared to monetization. Very few end users will pay for this, because if it "just works", it doesn't look like something worth paying for. Smaller companies will pay, but they don't realize they need it. Larger companies realize the need, but they won't touch 3rd party managed VPNs with a long pole. It's really quite a pickle. But the tech is beautiful :)
> It's odd you refer to endpoints as being the "more affordable place".

The endpoints afford monitoring. The middle of the network does not afford it, so you are fighting the system and it is certain that you will break stuff.
> pointless discussions about morality without any concrete solutions

The correct response to many moral issues is not to create concrete solutions, but simply to stop people from doing bad things.

Overlooked Ventilator Supply?
Ventilators are in short supply. CPAPs can be reprogrammed to be ventilators. Why isn't someone recycling CPAPs? The VA gives me a new one about every three years. I've got three. Grampa Google says millions of us use CPAPs. Doesn't that mean providing millions of ventilators is just an organizational challenge, not a fabrication challenge?
I doubt it. Most Chinese Americans hate the CCP and want nothing to do with China, since most are descended from the original chinese settlers of the west, not recent immigrants.

And plus, as an Asian american myself, I don't think that an American born person of Asian ethnicity is Asian, so please don't racesplain to me.
And it (and by "it" I mean the Python community) absolutely did! The main problem that it has come up with numerous different somethings that have been competing to become standards, across a wide range of related, but separate areas (packaging, versioning, environments...), and only a few of them (like pip) managed to become partial (but not at all universal) de facto standards.
If a site within a tail scale net is compromised, does that make all of the other sites instantly compromised on that net?
My point was not that you must use ES6 modules— my point was that webpack does NOT use ES6 modules so it must include a framework for importing, exporting, and otherwise consuming the bundles.

Serious questions, please don’t dance around them:

How is what I described above still Vanilla JS?

Would you consider using TypeScript to be Vanilla JS? Why or why not?

Would you consider using lo dash to be Vanilla JS? Why or why not?

Also, Vanilla JS is pedantic. The point is that you don’t need any of these tools to make a website or web app.

I personally like the tools I use, I don’t care about vanilla js. But you can’t just try to argue it’s not obviously meant to not include a bundling or transpiration step.

Furthermore, making a site/app with everything being vanilla js EXCEPT for also using Webpack is certainly as admirable— but it makes it not vanilla js.
Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup
Yeah my experience with interns is the same.

Outside of the exceptionally rare ultra high performers (I can think of maybe 2 I met like that). Interns really can't get a great deal done, even if just because they just arrived. There's a lot of onboarding for anyone joining, and productivity always takes a hit there.

So as a non-US citizen, I didn't know about "at-will employment" [1]. Apparently, in some states, companies can fire people "at will" (so without any reason, at any given moment).

$391 for a single font doesn't sound very expensive to me at all. Even for a small-business project, $400 is likely to be a rounding error for anything where the "designer had to pick a custom face" threshold has been exceeded. Certainly, it must be cheap for any serious print project! Printing costs will dwarf that font cost.

Devices in systems like this are full of monotonically increasing sequence numbers used for all manner of coordination and diagnostic functions. In this case it appears to be a way to ensure some recency constraint on critical data. This is an extremely common method of attempting to assess/identify staleness of critical data (i.e. "Is the sequence number I'm looking at before or after the last one I saw, and by how much?") in critical real-time systems.

Probably this is a counter that rolls over if it's not reset, the predictability of needing to reset it before time T is an indicator it's a sequence number that's driven by a hard real-time trigger with extremely predictable cadence.
Nice work. Thank you.
Other than captive portals, what would be harmed by adding encryption. It might not provide benefit but is there any downside?

What is using TCP that wouldn't work with QUIC?
Ideally a plane is spending as little time as possible not doing anything. It's on the ground for as short as possible and there's ideally always something happening that needs monitoring or communication. Restarting a bunch of low-level systems just because doesn't fit into that, so apparently a 51 day span without powering it off wouldn't be unheard of.
How would that support phone dial-ins? (Yes, lots of people still dial into meetings all the time.)
