Mine is www.gautamnarula.com (or, if it's easier to remember, www.gautam.city, since my name is pronounced "Gotham"!).

My elevator pitch: I'm curious about many different topics and have had some unconventional experiences, and I share them through writing. A reader would hopefully learn many interesting things along the way.

For example, my most recent post was a photo-essay showing what lockdown life is like in NYC, America's coronavirus epicenter: https://www.gautamnarula.com/new-york-in-the-time-of-coronav...

My most popular post (hundreds of thousands, perhaps even a million views) is a step-by-step guide to rapidly improving at chess: www.gautamnarula.com/how-to-get-good-at-chess-fast

Here's a preview from a book I wrote about my friendship with a well-known death row inmate: https://www.gautamnarula.com/remain-free-preview-ii-death-ro...

A surprisingly popular one was the post I wrote as a sophomore in college on creating a multiplayer Elo-based rating system. This post actually got me a great job several years later! www.gautamnarula.com/rating/

Another post about meeting a surfer who helped me rethink what was important to me: https://www.gautamnarula.com/what-javier-taught-me/
It is product of docker, if you would deploy applications by using namespaces and cgroups directly it is very likely you would see things the same way the author does.
Since I am storing the entire DP matrix as diagonal vectors that are flattened, I don't think there will be many cache misses. Each diagonal only depends on its previous two diagonals, and each diagonal is stored contiguously in memory.

The problem with handling diagonals is that indexing cells and comparing characters on the diagonal becomes complex. Dealing with this without many branches (less branch mispredictions) is the hard part.
I don't have the original anywhere; I used it exclusively on my work laptop two jobs back, which was the only one that moved internationally somewhat frequently (for the rest of my machines, I clicked around Google settings until I got English-language results and that usually stuck). But I think it was https://google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s.
PayPal is legitmately the biggest piece of crap flying around the internet. I'm amazed they are still a thing, given the sheer number of stories we all hear about "PayPal stole my 10k and wouldn't give it back for months" and then, this.

It's been such a relief to stay in SE asia for sometime where PayPal isn't associated with all kinds of online shopping. I can actually order online AND be given the choice to either pay online OR in person in cash.

PayPal and it's crappy culture needs to die.
You can request a copy of your info from those databases from Transunion, LexisNexis, etc. and they'll send it to you. however since they are not used in credit decisions they are not governed by the FCRA and you can not dispute or amend anything. Every phone number I've ever had is in those databases, as well as every address I've ever lived at - plus a few dozen variations that are typos or incomplete which I guess says something about my handwriting, every paycheck I've received over the past twenty-some years is in there, both regular payments and bonus, with taxes broken out and everything (a lot of businesses outsource employment verification to a Transunion subsidiary called The Work Number and in return they get all that information). There is my list of "known associates" which is pretty much all of my family living and dead since the 80s, all of my wife's family, a couple former roommates and their families. Apparently I own a sporting goods store in Austin, Tx (thats false, but can't dispute or amend). Every legal action I've been a party to is there. Every car I've ever driven is in there. I think most people would be shocked if they knew how much data these companies keep. I became aware when a police officer called me about some tenants at a rental property on a phone number I'd never given to anyone. I think the Transunion TXLop database is where I finally found the number. Since then its been my hobby to see how long I can keep my phone numbers out of that database.

Hello!

I am a developer who wants to understand networks. Can you point me to some reading resources? For now, I've just been looking at the wikipedia pages for the different protocols.

But I think it would help me to work with concrete scenarios in which you use knowledge of networks to better understand things.

I would appreciate it if you pointed me to anything you think worthwhile.

$AU 18b of revenue. The goal was significantly smaller when things started. What this has done to tertiary education in Australia is a very mixed bag. I love that we teach people. I hate what it has done to the system overall. Also, NZ and other regional players are exasperated with how Australia marketed. We didn't make things easy for any other players and now its all crashing down, there are mutters of "good"
Then we have to blame Google, not the authors.
Sounds like something which we can surely do and include in our filters. Would make sense considering the number of regional users we have as well.

Why many ‘essential’ workers get paid so little, according to experts
I hadn't known Lime had effectively shut down in most markets, although upon reflection it's fairly obvious that would happen.

(Incidentally, while I couldn't get the archive.md link that neonate published to work, either, I could read the full article simply by disabling JavaScript and reloading the page. It's remarkable how many paywalled magazines this works with now. It's almost as if rewriting an essentially all-text web site to be a snazzy web app that pushes all the smarts to the client side has some drawbacks! Who could have predicted.)
Thanks for pointing this out. We're getting it fixed.
Another product with a much longer time horizon is those electronic dial pads on apartment buildings and entry gates: https://www.google.com/search?q=apartment+door+dial+pad&tbm=...

These things are running on technology from the late 90's virtually unchanged. Even the most advanced ones are low end silicon with terrible thermal designs and horrible user interfaces (scrolling through pages of residents on a bad monochrome display one line at a time). Nothing competes with them. They have no high-failure parts and can last for decades. (And some have.)
Is there a method/framework to measure/manage architectural complexity?

Please share any pointers you might have!
https://miscdotgeek.com

Why should you read it? Several reasons. The first is that this is where I write things that I'm passionate about! If you have ever been interested in ham radio, electronics or just in general geekiest saying there's a good chance that I've written about it. I document my projects well and don't assume knowledge when I explain things. I also own my failures and explain them in full. Lastly, I make a point to smash through the myths, mysteries and flat out misinformation regarding whatever I'm writing about. I show how normal people can do whatever they set their minds to!

No matter what resource I refer to, there's a lot of conflicting info.

Is there an equivalent of "cyclomatic complexity"(McCabe count of code) for cloud/distributed systems/μServices architecture? Cant find any such objective measure, apart from a few dated research papers.

IMO, it could be useful for many of us. Sometime back, I had tweeted tagging @copyconstruct and @kelseyhightower asking this question, but haven't got a response - may be it went unnoticed.

Would love to get to know if there's any such method/framework to measure and manage architectural complexity, for the world in cloud.
Ah yes, such hateful comments as “AngelList’s recruiting/job hunting service is in poor shape“.
"Working out of one of their offices side by side is a great way to hear how they talk, what they care about, etc."

I've heard this suggested occasionally, how does this ask usually work? Besides the fact that our clients aren't near where we're based, it feels socially strange asking to impose on someone's office for a day - I must be missing something.

Completely disagree. The Fox news and related contingent and their response was drastically different than the other side. For example, SF declared an emergency in February and everyone was working from home since early March. While Florida had no such order till last week
The smaller strip malls in my area might be 25% "essential" services like restaurants. The rest are shutdown by order of the government as "non-essential" - places like barbers, hair and nail salons, yoga, gyms, cell and electronics, shoes, spas, luggage, on and on, and replicated over and over again. These small businesses aren't paying any rent, they have no meaningful reserves.

30.2 million small businesses in the U.S. And the Payroll Protection Program is $350 billion, is $11,666 on average. For two months. For rent and payroll. It's not enough by a long shot.

Thumbs up for mentioning this, and thanks for your effort. I've always found it odd (to say the least) that F/OSS projects are happily giving away their dev's and user's eyeballs and clicks to commercial entities when many F/OSS projects advertise altruistic or other ethical motives and licenses. Using github.com (or any other project hosting service) for your project's home page also ruins the web and puts all the power in the hand of very few when regular DNS and web hosting has regulated rules where providers and registrars can be negotiated with, switched, appealed, etc. Not to mention that github.com blocks indie search crawlers, adding to the search monopoly we have.

Rock-Jock with React Hooks Part – 1: Getting Started
This reminds me of the ICO scams in recent times. They would publish a half baked white paper and raise millions in a few days. Instead of being a viable alternative to the venture capital model, ICOs became a tool to separate the unwitting from their money. Maybe that’s what Weinstein and his ilk are really after.

Tape drives are still heavily used in the data center as well, as you can backup TBs of data on a single tape.
That's correct.

Most people have a narrow concept of Rust and confuse it with iron oxide, when reality is so much more vibrant. Copper oxides are my personal favourite.
Windows (cmd/powershell).

It wouldn’t surprise me if windows cmd is the most common environment for git on command line, since windows is the most common OS among developers (and git-bash is terrible).
You base your judgement on the legal and public communication between Google and SEOs.

Everyone else is basing their judgement on the effect google has on the Web.
For a mutual insurance company, what difference does the regulation make? Whether the customers get the money as a refund check or the mutual insurance dividend or lower premiums next period, they still get it.

Even for a for-profit insurer, insurance is a fairly competitive market. They might have to give the customers the money anyway to keep them from defecting to the mutual insurance companies. Even if they didn't, that would make being in the insurance market more profitable, which would attract new competitors, which would drive down premiums/margins until the risk-adjusted return of becoming an insurance carrier was back where it was. In other words, in a competitive market the customer gets the money one way or another.

This is a common occurrence with regulation. The regulation requires some good thing that would have happened regardless, the good thing happens and the proponents credit the regulation even though it was inevitable. Meanwhile you have a compliance cost, because it takes resources to keep track of the regulation and make sure you're complying with it even if it was the exact thing you were going to do anyway. That makes everyone poorer -- the compliance cost is the opposite of the windfall, so it makes it less attractive to compete in the insurance market and allows companies to pass on the compliance costs as higher premiums.

Good point. Unless it's a super generic entry-level guitar. I bet you can find a new Squier Strat in its original box.
IANAL either but I do know a little about contract law because I was involved in a legal dispute involving contract law [1]. One of the fundamental principles of contract law is that for a contract to be legally binding there has to have been a "meeting of the minds" [2], i.e. the two parties have to actually have agreed to the terms of the contract. Merely publishing terms of service does not constitute a legally binding contract. Think about it: I could put ToS on my site that say, "By using this site you agree to pay me $1M." If I were to try to enforce that I guarantee you I would not prevail.

Binding arbitration clauses in ToS are there primarily to make people think that they can't sue.

Hijacking the control flow of a WebAssembly program (2018)
Long time ago having your site in a high quality curated directory like DMOZ boosted your search ranks a lot.

I was an editor for a few categories at DMOZ. Not only I allowed only good content in our categories, but I checked older approvals from time to time to see if they behave. I had to delist some websites who thought they can trick us.
This is an important thing to remember. Just last night, I was ordering an item on Amazon, and pointed out to my wife that it is gonna take a week to delivery on prime.

That's fine, there's more important things going on in the world. But she said; "Why does it have to be from Amazon? If you're not getting it Prime speed, why not buy it elsewhere?"

So I went to the manufacturers website and bought it directly, and it was 15% cheaper than Amazon, and will supposedly arrive a little faster.

I think I may try do this more. I already do this, where possible to support small businesses.

You know that during this strike, all that was hit was an empty airfield, right? It was deliberately a pointless attack that minimized harm. He only "had to do it" in the sense that he has to kowtow to powerful neoconservative influences.
