%% How has COVID-19 effected Pachyderm? %%

We're in the fortunate position that our business has been minimally effected by covid. We have 3+ years of runway and were already a remote-friendly team, so this transition to full-remote has only been a minor change. We sell to fortune 2000 enterprise companies so while our sales cycles have gotten more complicated and slowed slightly during this chaos, our overall sales funnel and business is still very healthy.

> significant under-investment in fiber deployment

Interesting, we are about to move into our new place and was originally going to go with Spectrum for internet. They don't offer fiber in our area so I just switched to Frontier and a technician will be coming out in a couple days to setup a fiber line. The only issue is that Frontier has been charging their fiber customers a $10/month rental fee even when the customer is using their own router:

I think this particular one is fairly straightforward:

1. It's a non-obvious solution (Lisp had (and in some cases, still has) other methods of doing what other languages do with exceptions before the current system

2. It was hard to implement in popular languages; any language without closures is unlikely to have this.

3. More dynamic languages that could implement these fairly easily inherited their exception system from less dynamic languages, with some other features tacked-on, or got the dynamic features after the exception system was already created.

4. Situations in which you aren't going to restart are already (mostly?) solved by the "shove the call-stack into the exception object" which significantly reduces pain compared to e.g. C++ exceptions.

This reads like the manifesto for someone hawking colloidal silver, or whatever the fake-remedy-of-the-day is.

There's a reason those regulations exist.
I'm not going to anywhere near the same extreme as this guy but regulation is indeed awful and suffocating in every industry. This is why tech is the last bastion of innovation, although with the latest push for regulation the only innovators will be giant corporations with armies of lawyers who can fight through all the red tape and avoid the tidal wave of lawsuits related to data, encryption, anonymous users who post obscene material, and so on.

On the medical side, my prescriber made me visit every 3 months for a 30 minute checkup to get the same drugs for several years. The checkup lasted all of 5 minutes and billed insurance. She literally just made me visit so she could insert the same order on the computer. Such a scam. Finally found a doctor who would prescribe me whatever I wanted during a yearly checkup with few questions. Such a dumb and wasteful system.
Well as a serious C++ developer you'll probably want up-to-date and code in C++17 nowadays and that's similar to re-learning JS framweworks every few years. I guess the JavaScript world has it own "mechanisms" for job security.

I appreciate your comment exposing the nuances, and complexity of something like this rather than the run of the mill <government/business> should just do <x,y,z> to solve this problem. I think the first step in solving any problem is establishing the complexity of the issue and agreeing that all parties want mostly the same things.

But we do know how effective they aren't. And we do know that they have placed themselves above the law. If that doesn't concern you it really should.

To add extra information about our interview process:

The process typically includes a phone screen, 2 technical interviews, and then a final "onsite" (but not onsite due to COVID) where we focus mostly on architecture design and discussions.

~2003, assuming its related to the paper[0] of the same name (and sharing an author/diagrams). The paper was very influential and helped change minds on the subject.

"Most any drug can be made by a company in Asia. Just make a post on Alibaba and you will get a quote in less than a week. If you want premade, prepackaged drugs there are many websites that sell from the same manufacturers that are used by US pharmaceutical companies, same packaging and all. You can find these sites pretty easily after searching Reddit for a few minutes. I hate telling people that the biggest thing between them and a self-administered treatment option is just their own lack of knowledge. That the government makes it so that those like me with knowledge can’t help them order and amdinister drugs they want to try."

I agree with the spirit of the article but this paragraph and their conclusions has me concerned....
"waiting in line", "Choose a carrier" and "store forgets to return passport"?

You might as well add "having to breathe" and "tapping your debit card" to this list of hardhsips. This list is really quite laughable.

In many parts of the world you can get a SIM at a 24 hour convenience store and without a passport. And once you have the SIM you can almost always top them up on line. I think most people would consider the 5 minute time investment to be a fair tradeoff for working internet on their phone.
> We have a unionist running for president but the electorate doesn’t seem to want that at the moment.

I’d argue that Sanders’ lack of success in the polls is due more to voters’ perceived safety in choosing a moderate to beat Trump rather than disapproval of Sanders’ policies. Everyone has become a pundit and believes that the electorate will only tolerate a moderate while many of those same voters voice approval of progressive agenda items like Medicare For All.

Americans are seeing now more than ever just how much they’re valued when our system fails. Unfortunately, it’s going to result in hundreds of thousands and deaths and ruined futures for so many more.

> I don't think kids today are as "hacky" as before, or rather, systems of today are just more polished and there's less reason to understand underlying details vs. abstractions.

I think you're partially right but kids don't need to understand the underlying reasoning, they just need to be told what to do. When I was in school, everyone used PHP-based proxy sites to access restricted material on the school network. Nobody had a clue what a "proxy" was or how it worked, they just knew that's what they had to Google to get at whatever they wanted to get at.

Kids these days are the same. They don't need to know what "DNS" is or how a VPN works, they just need to know that a friend told them to look for a VPN app on the app store.

> Are sites about condom usage, abortion, STD's, premarital sex, and homosexuality an adult topic? Are race relations an adult topic?

The question isn't so much "are these adult topics" as "are these topics parents will want small children to encounter on the internet" and I'd say that's a definite "no".

That isn't to say small children shouldn't learn about them, they'll definitely need to be taught, however I don't think that many parents would be comfortable with their children being taught by whatever resources their child happens to stumble upon.

And to be clear, I'm not saying that homosexuality or interracial relations are morally any different to regular relationships, I'm saying that internet material isn't likely to be suitable for educating small children. It'll be very easy for them to stumble across material that's overly sexual in nature, racist or homophobic.

FWIW I come from a country where sex education is covered fairly well by both primary and secondary school curricula, which may colour my response here.

> Are shootings an adult topic?

That one's difficult and depends on the specific cultural norms you live under I think.

> Is this going to be the kind of filter you lift at precisely the age of 12?

That's a decision for the parents.

As others have said here. This history has been retconned quite a bit. TBH people talk about the lawsuit back in 2001, my memory is hazy but outside of the internet it was barely spoken of.

IE was a much better browser than Netscape and until Firefox, Mozilla wasn't really used outside of Linux distros.

> For a long time, all projects were IE-first, then you would worry about niche upstarts like Firefox.

This isn't quite true. Many of the early adopters of Firefox was web devs and enthusiasts and typically I developed on there first (mainly because of firebug) and as I went along I checked that IE worked. However I started my career just after IE7 was released.

> It wasn't until the launch of Chrome and Safari and the resurgence of Apple and OSX that there was any plausible alternative.

No not really (at least not in the UK). I noticed things shifting after the prevalence of smart phones. Chrome came out much later than Firefox and things were already starting to shift in Firefox's favour (non-IE browsers were getting upto 30% of traffic).

> IE wasn't "extra work", it was the primary objective.

That really wasn't my experience at all. But as I said I started my career near the end of IE's dominance.

>how it's easier or better for the user

It really depends who "the user" is.

It's faster, and accidentally hitting a hotkey for grub or whatever on boot is just one more problem. These are both material advantages, for a certain cohort.

"the user" varies from highly technical people like you or i to low income people with laptops wiped to install ubuntu by foundations that can't afford windows licenses.

And, if I'm dual booting, I'm probably confident enough to configure UEFI to support dual booting.
If you have more than one private key in your agent, then SSH will try each one sequentially. That can lead to mistakenly getting banned by monitoring software for what can appear indistinguishable to be an authentication attack. Not to mention the wrongness of presenting "any and all keys" to any host you connect to.

If you have multiple keys in your agent, you _really_ should manually configure what key to present using `-i` or `IdentityFile`. But you should also use `IdentitiesOnly` too.
