So far with game programming the most difficult problem I've had is input states. There doesn't seem to be a clean way to manage it that doesn't get very messy, very fast. Even though it should be easy to manage since it's just a state machine!
TLB shootdowns are a product of multithreading, and of unmapping memory. Avoid one, the other, or both, and TLB shootdowns fade out of the picture.

You still have cores to isolate, busybody kernel threads to suppress, and hardware interrupts to direct elsewhere, but TLB shootdown paranoia is largely a product of the current fashion favoring multi-threading over running separate processes with carefully chosen sharing.
I agree with some of what you say, but not all of it.

Back when I first switched to a scrum master role, way back in 2013, I was pretty full on with prescribing the purpose of certain ceremonies. The standup was for X, and the sprint planning was for Y, etc. We had built a successful business model around that back then so it wasn't necessarily being dogmatic about agile and scrum, but knowing our recipe for success and sticking to it, so we ran a tight ship that also allowed us to put our feet up and work more sustainably.

I find myself in a similar leadership role now and, perhaps moreso due to us all working from home since the end of February, I've taken a completely different tack. I really appreciate what agile and scrum embody but after several years of doing it and getting comfortable with my own role in that dynamic, I've pretty much tossed the 'rules' out of the window and gone straight back to basics with the original manifesto.

My team now does 'asynchronous standups' but we don't call them standups. If my team wants to jump on a call to chat, I'll be there, but otherwise, a quick check in when they come online and start their workday is more than enough. That could be at 7.30am or 12pm for all I care. It still performs the function of a standup, and it fits the purpose we've given it.

I'm not really interested in selling proper scrum to my team the way I used to, now I'm far more keen to let them self-organise and let their work, their happiness, and their behaviour speak for itself. They always have the option to introduce more process if they want to.
Now how can we reclaim `onpaste` events? If I'm in an input box and paste text, are there any legit use cases of _blocking_ paste of text in text entry fields?

Blogs are still there, just not easily findable through Google as most of the ones you find are low-value SEO blogs aiming at search engine traffic.

Discovery is a problem but I just subscribe to blogs when I find them via RSS (Blogs still have RSS, it's hard to find one without which is surprising but I'm glad that's the case), over time I build up my list of blogs I like and they usually link to other blogs and the list slowly grows.

List of the best Network Effect resources for Startups
Hey Everyone,

The last couple of days I have been searching for resources on studying Network Effects. I came across some pretty helpful links, so I started curating a list about the best Network Effect resources I could find for startups.

I was focused on mostly on case studies about companies like Uber, but ended up finding a lot of analysis from VCs like Andreessen and insightful interviews. All in all, I wanted to share the list on here in case anyone else would find it helpful.

Before sharing the list little disclaimer, this list is curated for Jooseph (bit.ly/3dJBAVQ) which is basically a directory that you can find and curate great resources and collections for learning.

Now you're talking about price discrimination, which customers DO prefer.

If I wanted premium service and a premium seat, I can pay the premium price for business or first class, or fly on a better airline. Even though people complain about the terribly small seats and lack of service on budget airlines and economy tickets, they still choose the lowest seat price above anything else. And the cost of plane tickets has fallen drastically over the past few decades so it's not like the same product is more expensive, people just want cheap flights.

Would just like to point out that Vaclov Smil says the time period between about 1870-1910 is unmatched by any other time period before or since, excepting a sliver of the Han dynasty, as measured by the rapid surge in invention, innovation, and the rapidity with which those new ideas were employed in the broader society (rate of adoption). He goes on to say that even in today’s seemingly endless cycle of new products and legitimate advancement, we’re making only point solutions in comparison. For instance, the whole-house AC power system would be easily recognizable by Edison today. Improved, yes, but compared to going from nothing to the direct-to-home and whole-home solution set, it’s illustrative of relative stagnation. To be clear though, he said that it’s unrealistic to expect society to perpetuate those periods, as they are flukes - again, only twice in recorded history. I’m not doing the depth of his reasoning justice by any means, but I think his would bring another interesting angle to the idea that you relate from Russell.

I'm put off by increasing centralization (I won't name companies, you know them) and would like to know who still does it "old school", hosting their own blog. I'm especially interested in the technology behind it.

E.g. mine is grisha.org and it's hosted on github pages and behind cloudflare which is how I get SSL. Cost: $0. The blog itself is Octopress and it's kind of aging, I might look at Hugo next if/when I have time.
What would be valuable in the case of a monopoly that is achieved through market competition is to require the monopolist to help other compete as opposed to breaking up the monopolist. The former promotes competition to the benefit of the consumer and the latter promotes competition at the expense of the consumer.

The complexity of solving such problems generally is actually what drives me to start from scratch: rather than solve an intractable general problem, instead limit the scope of where the project must run and what it must do.

My perception is that I am not capable of reliably tuning a general purpose OS for a total system latency of under 10 msec. I can't give the total system a hard number and believe that it will obey; instead, I need to perform a lot of esoteric tweakery of subsystems I probably don't understand. The system won't alert me reliably when it fails, but will instead either drop out or just give me more latency than I asked for — and there are innumerable factors outside my control that could cause it to fail.

However, the composition tool I want to create has a pretty small set of requirements, if I accept that it only need serve my particular use case. So how about I ensure that my app is the only thing running on the hardware, via unikernel, or RTOS, or even bare metal?

Implementing all of my compositional requirements is probably easier and certainly more rewarding than tweaking latency parameters without having confidence that my results will be enduring or predictable.

If it turns out that the knowledge I gain during that exercise allows me to control latency well enough and I can return to mainline operating systems and contribute to existing projects, all the better. I don't really want to go down this path, but I'm not willing to accept a tool that maybe-kinda-sorta-sometimes meets my absolute requirements.

No offense, but some of the worst people I’ve ever worked with were “senior” engineers who were convinced that everyone needed to learn to think like them, and that there was nothing left for them to learn themselves. An orthodontist job doesn’t require the same people skills as an engineer working in a team, so it’s not really comparable.

No, a proper application would be:

If we could spark an earnest discussion about how to move towards abolition of slavery peacefully, we could avoid having to fight a war that kills a million people and does not improve the actual material condition of the slaves at all, not to mention leading to another century of Jim Crow laws.

But it was already too late in 1860 to have that kind of discussion. It should have happened in the 1820s or 1830s, when many Southern states were indeed considering abolishing slavery--until the fiery no-compromise rhetoric of abolitionists swung the South the other way. The Virginia state legislature had a bill abolishing slavery in 1831 that was close to passing--until copies of William Lloyd Garrison's pamphlet containing copies of his "no moderation" speech arrived and were read by the members.

Since about 2008 stock prices have officially decoupled from the fundamentals, in the post-divident, Sarbanes-Oxley and QE era. The stock market no longer serves as a collective economic planning mechanism. This won't end up well.

The Federal government already has agreements with health insurance companies providing a wide range of options across the country. Why not just extend those agreements to cover everyone, not just Federal employees?
The problems with the Go 2 that I've seen in reviews are:

* The base model has a woefully underpowered Pentium CPU

* The upgrade model has a more reasonable but still not great m3 that seems like it'd be a tad too underpowered for dev work, unfortunately - maybe this is my fault for being an IntelliJ user, though.

* The keyboard/trackpad cover is a separate purchase, and while it's not the eye-watering $350 that the newest iPad Pro keyboard/trackpad is, it's still an extra $100 or so.

* The keyboard/trackpad cover is a bit wobbly and too small to be comfortable for extended use.

The biggest issue is that the Go 2's upgrade version + keyboard cover is a total of around $720, which is the same cost as a lot of solid entry-level Windows laptops that have much more powerful processors.

Pricing is a constant problem with Surface hardware across the board, so this isn't that surprising, but was disappointing to me - the Pentium version sounds underpowered to the point of uselessness, but the upgrade variant is too expensive to justify as anything but my primary computer and far too underpowered for that.

Here's The Verge with more: https://www.theverge.com/21259805/microsoft-surface-go-2-rev...

That said I know there have already been some small sales during the Go 2 launch (e.g. Best Buy took $25 off the cover), so I'm kind of hopeful that within the next six months it'll somehow dip below $600 or so.
Trying to learn frontend so I can make myself a better to-do list/calendar app. I'm a robotics engineer so I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's fun. Due to executive dysfunction, I tend not to have a very good idea of how long it'll take me to finish anything longer than about a day's work (so I assume it "won't take that long", which fuels dangerous amounts of procrastination), so my concept was that each task gets broken down into subtasks that are small enough that I can estimate time for them. These time estimates then get propagated to the root task, and leaf-level tasks can be dragged and dropped into today's calendar (with other events pulled in from Google Calendar so I don't accidentally double-book myself). On the task itself I'll be able to record how much time (in pomodoros) it actually took to complete; in addition to tracking how I actually spent my time, hopefully this will help calibrate my future time estimates.

I also finished knitting a sweater -- my second overall, and first time not working from a pattern.
