I get the point, but I rarely find myself in the case I even need an _ordered_ hash map. Despite the fact my language provide one by default.

I can't remember one time in the last decade where I was in need of a _sorted_ hash map.

And if it ever happen I can easily depend install one.

I'm unsure of having something even more general like a b+tree would help.

It's possible that, because I'm not use to have them handy, I don't think about them when I encounter a problem for which they would be perfect.

But I never felt like I missed them.

Can you give me a few examples of problems you them for in the past year?

What are the usual cgo issues? I've used it a fair bit and haven't had any general problems.

There are specific problems like you can't use syscalls which must be single threaded (a royal pain for container managers, since setns() is), but binding to a library like simdjson wouldn't have this problem.
There were stone-paved streets in Harappa and Ur, circa 4000BCE. There's also evidence of log roads in England appearing between 4000 BCE and 3800BCE.

Brick paving appeared in India around 3000BCE.

By 2000 BCE, the "leading edge" roads had become quite advanced: Minos had tens of kilometers worth of roads which were not just paved but mortared, on thick subgrade, with side-drains and distinct shoulders, and anatolian roads had sidewalks.

I'd look at fat-people-hate and beat-women subreddits more like bank robberers planning their next attack on a bank, discussing weapons, and having a good time looking at viedos of robberies from the past.

Then you can visit them and tell them "But it's wrong to rob banks, it's not your money and think of the poor people working in the bank, they'll get PTSD".

Or you say "Let's discuss the big underlying systematic problem that is larger than all of us, and makes you rob banks, and how to solve it"

Then you get banned from that subreddit, and the bank robberers continue enjoying robbing banks.

I made a course on a small topic which is keyword research/SEO related and hosted on Udemy. It took me a week to create the whole thing since then I haven't done anything except answering a few questions of the students.

It's 99% passive. I am making around $150 per month.

This is the simple method I followed (CPSO)

Customer => Problem => Solution => Offer

1.) find a topic with enough interest (customer finding activity)

2.) identify a single problem in that topic (Problem finding activity)

3.) provide a clear cut solution to the problem
Make sure they get a result by the end of it. Record your screen showing the solution without any fluff. (Solution providing activity)

4) Create a compelling offer and present to the customer (Make a compelling offer activity)

For the last part (offer), I created a video which is almost 45 minutes long and taught nearly 90% of the course. There's no need to buy if you watch the intro video which is free to preview on the course.

It's doing well.

Watch the preview video, and you are good to go—no need to buy it. But if you want to support an honest creator, then please consider purchasing the course using the following link. Many thanks.

It’s a culture problem throughout fedgov, not so much a funding problem. The DoD is also a huge mess, despite having plenty (most people would argue too much) funding. Take a look at something like the Afghanistan papers. Decision-making at every level and internal politics impacting competency are massive problems. Changing Presidents can’t fix this, because it’s a slow-motion problem going on for decades, and Presidents actually have very little power over what actually goes on in these agencies internally - that’s what the contemporary complaints about the so-called “deep state” are about: most agencies are in practice virtually independent from the White House, and will simply sandbag or defy any direction from the White House or appointees they aren’t interested in following. These people are experts in exploiting bureaucracy to achieve their aims, which are dominated by personal politics and career advancement.

I used to say exactly what you’re saying, but now having seen how it all works firsthand, I am afraid the problem is intractable without major Congressional overhaul of the entire executive branch, including mass layoffs to get out the problems, before we increase funding to any agency. And I don’t think Congress is ever going to do this.

Additionally, at least according to Forbes, the CDC employs more people now than ever, having increased headcount by 25% since 2007, when it was already at an all-time high. (The article also complains about comp, but I personally don’t think it’s too high.)

Roam is just getting started with a dedicated team and a sustainable business model. At this point, I'm guessing they have built a lot of runway for development even if they lose a lot of users from their pricing.

Development with a dedicated team will move quicker than open source efforts. In this context, we're talking about a "Roam alternative" because the alternative is implementing ideas from Roam. Unless the team is all out of ideas, the future of alternatives will be to continue copying Roam.

The graph seems to be one of the least useful features. It doesn't take long before it becomes useless.

Nice. Very intriguing.

Question: Do you have an option where your backend could be used to supply content to a frontend public website? Mind you, given your data structure, I'm not sure how that would work.

Let me give you an example. I like to read, mostly long form non-fiction (i.e., books). Naturally, I highlight things of importance. I want to take those ideas and get them into something where I can organize, add categories and tags, etc.

Yes. A basic WordPress site would be sufficient. But given a tool like yours, why not try to take up a level? On the backend, my "thoughts" well organized. The frontend some view of that I'd want to share with the public.

Thoughts?
> It's the inability to accept new viewpoints

No, it's not just that. I don't understand why you're being intentionally obtuse here, other than that the framing helps your viewpoint if you can trick others into accepting it.

Words can have more than one definition. Yours isn't the one I was using, no matter you wish it was otherwise.

Unfortunately it doesn’t pay well to be a hacker, you’re better off being a software engineer. So yea, I guess the internet can rot until there’s a way to do white hat hacking at scale.

I’ve looked into this, in order to transition from software engineering into a cybersecurity niche it requires a drastic pay cut. Sure if you’re the self-employment type you could try doing bug bounties, but the top 1% make like 35k a year on average, and everyone else makes peanuts or zero. That is still better than starting a startup, but you're also better off being a day trader where 10% of people make a better living with only 2 hours of trading a weekday and two hours of analysis and strategizing in the morning, maybe then you could find time to hack systems just for fun.

The other thing you could do is become some kind of consultant and make better money consulting companies and running pen tests for them, but if you can do that you could just as easily make more money building out and consulting on custom software solutions...

And if you don’t care about the money fine, but eventually someone that does care about money will come along and do it better than you anyway and eat your lunch.

Now, to leave this post on a positive note and not become a target for downvote gangs, I’ll propose this: the way to have more hackers at scale is to grow every software engineer to be a security conscious engineer by default, such that they are constantly looking for vulnerabilities throughout development and deployments to production. It works well because I’d say engineers spend maybe 4 hours a day actually working and the rest is thinking about problems, which can happen in parallel with hacking quite nicely.
Backlinks aren’t enough. They don’t actually tell you anything.

We need to be able to define relationships between data. There needs to be a piece of metadata that describes the type of link like “influenced_by” or “influenced” or “evolved_from” etc.

It seems, according to Michael Kaplan, that he was fired from Microsoft for taking a photo with a personal camera of a framed plaque of a patent certificate with his name on it where the patent number was too visible. That is some horrid garbage.

The 8086 and 8088 CPUs differ essentially
from one another by their respective data bus
widths (the 8086 uses a 16-bit data bus, and the
8088 uses an 8-bit data bus). The Execution Unit for each processor is
identical. The Bus Interface Unit for the 8086 incorporates a 16-bit data bus and a 6-byte instruction queue
whereas the 8088 incorporates an 8-bit data bus
and a 4-byte instruction queue.

>So instead of an exchange rate conversion, you should be doing a purchasing-power conversion. For these three countries, that means multiplying by 3x or 4x.

It's impressive that "OKRs" (inspired by Google in the modern business culture) are so worshipped despite being a management truncheon that helped Google go from being universally loved to being largely despised (killing products that don't meet short term growth KRs, Google+ optimizing for Engagement KRs, generally running the business to hit vanity metrics instead instead of building a quality product and having faith in users to adopt it and customers to pay for it.)

Not based on actual research, but my guess is that with Edge, you'll now have Google phone-homing combined with Microsoft phone-homing. Unless Microsoft actively went out of their way to remove calls to Google, there may still be many present, as found in many reports about Chromium.
If you are concerned about privacy of chromium-based browsers, I don't think anything would beat just straight chromium.

However, on my machines I just main firefox with edge as a backup. Mainly because edge is already pre-installed on my Windows machines so there isn't really much point downloading and installing an alternative which does the exact same thing. Especially if it's only for use on chromium specific websites.

It's not like you can remove edge from Windows 10. Why would I install Vivaldi, Google Chrome or Brave?
It's significantly better. Basically, Microsoft added the tracking protection features[1] Firefox and legacy Edge have to Chrome. Yeah, in terms of sending data to Google vs. Microsoft, that footprint is similar, but third party tracking differences are huge. Edge sends a fraction of the requests to third party services while web browsing as Chrome does.

Google has decided to implement third party cookie blocking in Chrome recently... solely in incognito mode[2]. Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc. all do it all the time in normal mode too. This renders Chrome the least privacy-minded browser, primarily because Google heavily values ad tracking as a business practice.

On its face, hacking, even the white hat kind, is no different than saying we should allow trying to steal from stores to check if their loss prevention functions are working. As far as the government is concerned, people shouldn’t be trying to steal or hack to begin with.

Obviously, if a company hires somebody to try and steal to check their LP, or if a company hires somebody to break into their network, it’s different (and I know there have been issues with one part of a company trying to prosecute somebody that another part tried to hire, but that’s just stupid corporate governance).

But all narratives would be consistent. This is the scenario we're talking about:

1. Person A says X on Facebook.

2. Facebook removes Person A's post.

3. Journalist reports that Person A said X and that Facebook removed it.

Why would Person A suddenly disclaim X? They want X to be heard, which is why they said it on Facebook in the first place.

And again, there are ways to archive digital content even if its original source has been taken down.
