Understanding VLAN Configuration on FreeBSD
Can you go into detail what you mean by "slower than I'd like"? Are you talking about TTFB (Time-To-First-Byte) or sustained read or concurrent read performance? Are you using the API or the HTTP endpoints from a public bucket?
This is really weird. The nodejs template (https://github.com/actions/starter-workflows/blob/master/ci/...) is set up to test on "pull_request" and "push". There's no mention of "commit" anywhere in the documentation, and when I try to add it there in the GitHub editor, it tells me it's incorrect. Are we talking about the same thing?
Is that a thing? Like a site/portal/dashboard you log into, shows a bunch of your apps/random servers and their statuses... I was thinking about this myself. Ideally would be real time or at least some kind of pub-sub/poll.

Can Amazon actually patent their API (per the google vs oracle case) - basically like prevent other vendors to provide S3 APIs so that Amazon can lock in users.

Similar to the google engineers who quit after working for 10 to 15 years.
So there are a couple of glaring problems:

1. The keyboard. Ugh. The keyboard was ostensibly changed to shave half a millimeter off the thickness of an MBP. 0.5mm. The old chiclet keyboard was fine. The new one is basically worse in every way. It's louder, feels crappier to type on, has a high failure rate (as witnessed by Apple's free repair program) and is otherwise expensive to replace. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about the keyboard; and

2. The touch bar. This was is more mixed. The big problem is you don't have an option for not having it and Apple's reason for adding it is simply to raise the ASP (average selling price) of Mac SKUs. That's it. The old Macbook Air was too successful. Many people object to it because you lost a row of function keys with tactile feedback (ie physical key). Some really objected to the loss of a physical Escape button. Probably vim users.

I agree with you that Touch ID is great. I sure wish the latest iPhones had it (you could put a sensor on the back if you didn't want to lose the screen real estate). Face ID is absolutely atrocious.

Anyway, the problem here is that basically Johnny Ive went insane, chasing thinness to the extreme. Design is the art of compromise (as they say) and no compromising on thinness led to shitty products (eg the 12" Macbook).

There are many people here (myself included) that for years simply wanted a 13" Macbook Air with an upgraded screen (as close to edgeless as possible and higher res) and more memory. That's it. We waited for years. We got the shitty 12" Macbook instead.

It's incredibly frustrating to be so close to perfection but to take a giant step backwards instead.

> here is my proposed solution: every time you improve AD funding you improve legislation

My point is that locking "improved funding" to "improved legislation" is impossibly without a way to usefully measure improvements in legislation. Improving funding has a few ways to measure it, but in the discussion we've been having I took improved to mean "more". As for legislation, I don't think we want more legislation, but any measurement is rife with problems. As a simple example, legislation if perpetual until changed (or created with an expiration), and laws created today with a beneficial effect may have a deleterious effect years or decades from now. Examples of this are abundant, such as patent and copyright laws not dealing with the nuance of the digital age, to privacy laws not taking into effect the ability to store everything that happens in a way that can be indexed and accessed because of computers.

A moderately good law today may become a real problem tomorrow. Given that, how do we measure legislation when the effect time is essentially unbounded?
I'd push back on your use of "current equilibrium", based on how I interpret this phrase. If my interpretation is off, then I apologize.

It reads to me as if you're presenting the world as having a single equilibrium toward which the market moves. There is no meaningful static idea of equilibrium. However you want to define and measure some optimal state that we can call equilibrium, this target moves discontinuously at least with each birth and death that occurs. Each of these events either introduces or removes a set of preferences (a terrible reduction of humanity). Accounting for these will shift our "equilibrium" in any meaningful calculation of the same. There are 1.8 deaths per second and 4.3 births per second.[0][1]

Again, these birth and death rates represent the minimum rate of change of equilibrium. As a follow-on effect, a birth is very likely to alter the parents' preferences in a way that will shift the equilibrium. Deaths likely shift families' and friends' preferences in a way that will shift the equilibrium. Both these second-order effects are not instantaneous (information does not spread instantly). Invention and innovation represent changes. Discovery of new natural resources represent changes. And people are not static sets of preferences. People change.

Perhaps we may be able to define some equilibrium for an instant. And we can expect with near-certain probability that one instant's equilibrium is very close to neighboring instants' equilibria. But the shifts are discontinuous, and likely impossible to model with a function.

You do get paid but quite little. I still took on debt during my physics PhD for lifestyle reasons (my significant other was 2k miles away, so flights were prioritized over savings).

I went to graduate school early 2000s. 6 years, average stipend < $15k and still had to pay student fees. Then a couple post docs for 5 more years at $40k.

There was significant opportunity cost, but now I've had 3 jobs that were all reasonably well paid that I only got because of the fanciness of my degree. I'm _not_ saying that's the right sorting for hiring managers to do, but it is what happened to me.

Net-net, I don't know if I'm even, behind, or ahead financially. I do know that graduate school was one of the best experiences of my life, my deepest friendships were formed in those years, and I miss pursuing my passion at that level constantly. So, I guess I'm in the position of not really caring if it lost me money.
The unhappiness was that the existing status quo made people afraid to actually use features of systemd, lest they invite flames from people about not supporting alternatives (which don't have those features). The GR changes the status quo to allow hard dependencies on systemd to actually use its features. The "but we support exploring alternatives" ensures that the GR does not preclude the possibility that people might create something better than systemd in the future.
Frankly, I don't know what people are hoping to achieve by the whole 'privileged' thing. From what I've read, it's supposed to be an invitation to introspect your life and realize you have had various advantages. But:

1) The whole term "check your privilege" is a very accusatory phrase, and when somebody gets accused, they get defensive / offensive. Nobody is going to be very introspective at that point.

2) As you say, what is privilege? There's nearly 8 billion people in the world, and logically speaking, somebody out there is the absolute least privileged out there. And it's sure as fuck not some angry lady standing in line at Starbucks. Being a guy, am I more privileged than her? Sure, in certain (perhaps even most), metrics. But compared to the lowest people, we're about equal relatively speaking. Any change desired should be flowing to the lowest tier.

Personally, these things make the whole movement feel hypocritical to me. But when I bring this up usually the response is something along the lines of that I wouldn't understand because I'm privileged.

Compilers are "just" a series of transformations / translations from higher-level code to lower-level code. The top is code like C, python, elisp, whatever, and the bottom is machine code for amd64, arm7, whatever. All the in-between code is in some intermediate representation (IR).

Each successive step takes care of different optimizations, modifying the code as it goes down. At the last step, he converts LIMPLE to an IR (intermediate representation) that libgccjit understands, and hands it off to gcc for native compilation.

Could you just start with elisp and emit amd64 machine code in one step? Absolutely, but it would be hell to maintain, and then you lose out on all the pluggability of modern compilers. If you (consume and/or) emit standard(-ish) IRs, you get to participate in a pretty amazing ecosystem.

>And that US federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, $15,080 for a years worth of work. That is not a livable wage in almost any area of the country, especially the population centers the Amazon warehouses are located in.

And that's why it's great to hear that Amazon pays more than double that minimum wage, as I noted.

>In that sense $15 an hour is nothing to be proud of

I don't see how it's not. $17/hr is an incredibly high wage for the target audience of these jobs. $17/hr may be pennies for SWEs on HNs who think that anything under $100k/yr is oppression, but $17/hr for someone who was previously homeless, or a 16 year old getting their first job, or someone just looking for some extra cash part time during the holidays, is an amazing wage.

Amazon warehouse work is an amazing stepping stone for people that have no previous work experience or skills, for them to get a wage and benefits way above average. Indeed, Amazon even offers to pay for 95% of tuition costs for warehouse workers that want to get an associates degree, so that the warehouse work truly can be a stepping stone.

The fact that people far beyond their "entry level" stage of their career are stuck working in an Amazon warehouse seems like a problem with society, not Amazon, and there's only so much that Amazon can do there.

>I also would be shocked if your average construction worker or Starbucks is getting federal minimum wage, I have a feeling they are closer to $15 than you would think.

I didn't say they are getting federal minimum wage. And yet a quick Google will show you that Amazon warehouse workers get paid more than these workers.

>One question, do you work for Amazon? Your history consists solely of comments defending Amazon and their labor relations. If you do, it would be nice of you to disclose that before posting about your company.

No. My comment history is such because I use a special account specifically for posting about Amazon, because unfortunately this website has become very vitriolic as of late and I doubt some of the posters here would hesitate to try and ruin my life if I attached my main account and real name to statements defending "the evilest company in the world".
It reminds me the “wrist snap” practice in tennis. I don’t remember the exact details, but it started because a successful tennis player said that’s what he does. Shortly after, thousands of trainers were teaching the method breaking wrist of naive students. It took high speed camera to confirm that no players use it [0].

The point is that people micro-tweak their behavior based on simple reward mechanism. Most can’t explain how they got there.

Top VCs are no different. They remind me chicken sexers (is that even a word?), who have differentiate gender by looking at their bottoms and quickly able to tell without ever being able to explain how they know [1].

With this long dribble I want to encourage founders to develop their own intuition. Create a pitch that makes sense to you and then tweak based on feedback.

It is true yes - though it's also true that recently both sides of the aisle have been anti-labor. The trade deal renegotiations didn't focus on or accomplish good changes to keep labour local and, while I'm not wholly against tariffs tax changes have wiped out any local investment motivations tariffs were supporting.

Lastly, the repatriation of cash was a loss for everyone - companies that skirted tax laws got a gift in being able to reclaim a lot of cash they had been unable to access due to dodging taxes while also paying a much reduced rate... And I think that action happening again so soon is just a clear signal to companies to avoid actually bringing any money into the country until they can get a tax holiday to get it in for free - it's like your kid eating the cookie jar and you saying "Well, I'm going to dock your allowance thirty percent this week... And I will refill the cookie jar but don't do that again!" - we rewarded these companies for skirting tax laws by letting them skirt some more tax laws while wagging a finger and saying "Naughty naughty!"

In my opinion, compile times are irrelevant. Developers can always get faster or larger machines if they need them. What matters is how the final product performs on customer machines. Performance and memory usage of the final product, plus your ability as an engineering team to avoid costly and difficult mistakes are basically the only thing that matters.
Then why have a minimum wage at all?

But doesn't the point still stand that the reason why Tao refuses random papers is due to bandwidth/capacity issues?
