I checked this from a phone who's provider NATs IPV4.

People be wild on their mobile connections. I don't torrent on mobile only because the bandwidth will get me throttled, but god damn someone on my NAT has some filthy habits.
it was a guess based on numbers I polled from someone I know, then I just multiplied it by 3, for a "family of 3" as indicated in the comments. If you are willing to provide a more accurate number, I'll include that.
It's not exactly lack of resources but a lot of effort duplication across the various distros and other unix-like operating systems.

If all unix-like OS devs or even just all Linux devs pooled their efforts in to one distro, they'd have beaten Windows long ago.
It says I "like porn", but the porn torrents it shows are not thing I've ever downloaded. I don't download porn at all. It shows things I've torrented, but the list is very inaccurate. I sure hope law enforcement doesn't one day decide to use the same information source and frame me for viewing something I didn't.

That is a Twitter Bootstrap class for "make it red".

The above poster is wrong though. It's quite obvious that porn=red and it's easy to test. Anything with "XXX" in the category column is red.
OK, I don't think that this delineation is actually as black and white as you're making it out to be, given most subjects are complex enough to require nuanced interpretations of data/facts, but I'll give you that in some instances there is a fine line, and there are certain areas where there is a lot of disagreement even amongst experts.

Still, an expert, by definition is just someone that has "comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of a subject." You could argue that as soon as you've acquired enough knowledge on a subject to form an accurate opinion, you have yourself become an expert.

Although I'm guessing when you're referring to "experts" you mean "establishment experts." For example, your average doctor whose spent decades studying medicine as opposed to your online research on how to best treat/prevent a certain ailment (you didn't provide an example so I am just referring a fairly common one). What's the difference between your expertise and theirs? On one hand, they have decades worth of rigorous academic study and personal experience over you, on the other hand, you may have a "fresher" perspective that may be devoid of certain institutional biases. I would just strive to stay humble.

> Getting people to contribute can be a problem
This is so spot on. and I don't think it even has to be a problem.

The way people actually work is they
1) write a ton of private notes
2) share a small amount of these notes ad-hoc
3) publish a tiny amount of this to a wiki

To make knowledge more available, the key is to streamline these steps.

Building an app that's grounded in this workflow. Would love to hear the community's feedback on it.

TiddlyWiki is ideal for a few scenarios I work on.

1. It's great as a notebook for organizing a creative endeavor like tabletop roleplaying.
2. Its tagging querying capabilities are robust. So robust that I've had success using it to tag media and run complex queries (e.g., select all items having tag1 and exclude items having tag2 and exclude items with value "value1" for key "key1") to where I can use it to manage media
Depending on the age of the persons involved, this could actually be healthy. When I first learned about logical fallacies I could not keep my mouth shut. Everyone was a moron and dag nabit I knew exactly why. After a few months of pissing everyone off, I settled down in to a "You can be wrong if you want," kind of mentality.

This reminds me of a short documentary called "DICKS: Do you need to be one to be a successful leader?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRRvjZ_XNog

tldr; You don't have to be a dick, but being a strong and passionate leader will result in making tough choices that will inevitably not make everyone happy.

tldr 2; People don't want a boss who is a friend, they want a leader with a vision.
Email fatigue comes from self-serving emails. When you get value from an email, it isn't a burden.

Context: We have 100k folks on our list, and our typical open rate is 25%. Almost all are web developers.

I think the key thing required to maintain this is to give value. I'll spend hours personally writing high-quality email tutorials. My friends and family are subscribers and so I treat each email as such.

I feel an obligation that if you open an email from me you're going to get value from it. I might send out 19 emails that teach before I ask for a sale on the 20th (but even then, I'm only going to ask you to buy something I think you might also find valuable).
They just get the order wrong. It's more like, being very successful means you can get away with being an a-hole a bit more. Steve Jobs really put himself in danger doing elevator interviews. That isn't someone I would mimic the behavior of.

Pretty much this. The code runs as an extension - it registers the protocol handler in the extension's background script. That means the code for webrtc has no need to run in a service worker.

Whether Rust is "friendlier" than C depends a lot on your definition of what that means.
Interesting theory. Is there a way to quantify how evenly investing, say $200B, across the S&P would affect the index's price?
Right - I guess I just don't think that just because sidecars can be polyglot doesn't make it a better approach than just writing a clean library.
We are in an age that assumes the narrowing trends of specialization to be logical, natural, and desirable. Consequently, society expects all earnestly responsible communication to be crisply brief. Advancing science has now discovered that all the known cases of biological extinction have been caused by overspecialization, whose concentration of only selected genes sacrifices general adaptability. Thus the specialist’s brief for pinpointing brevity is dubious. In the meantime, humanity has been deprived of comprehensive understanding. Specialization has bred feelings of isolation, futility, and confusion in individuals. It has also resulted in the individual’s leaving responsibility for thinking and social action to others. Specialization breeds biases that ultimately aggregate as international and ideological discord, which in turn leads to war.

Poisoning Vulnerabilities in Neural Code Completion

A classic example from a business perspective: Poorer users had no money to waste calling people up - but incoming calls were free.

So firms would advertize a missed call number on the radio.

People could give that number a missed call, and they would soon get a call back from the firm - thus never spending any money at all.

The more common interpersonal example was one person having more money than the other, or being on a company plan - so they would get missed calls from their family/friends, and they would then call back.

The cost was thus borne by the firm/richer person/person with more talk time.

Seems to be the physics way of looking at the world. Don't trust potentially accidental empirical observations, because they might fail you in a relativistic universe in which there isn't even such a thing as simultaneity (all swans are white until one isn't).

Only trust fundamental truths / laws of nature, as they govern what works / doesn't and prescribe fubdamental constraints on how the world works - most likely anytime, anywhere and independent of a particular context.

So the expert looks at the world and says: everyone is doing agile, so what you have to do is agile. Replies the scientist... It depends!

You have no idea how significant of a limit that is... I'm kidding.

Thanks for the response! And zombodb looks very cool. I might bring it up since we have a couple of heavy analytics endpoints right now.
That's a good question. My statement was opinion and speculation, but it would be interesting to see this backed up by data, maybe someone here can find data on percentage of a stock like TSLA for example is held by retail investors?
Is liftbridge open source?
I had a bug where was was deducting taxes from the total income, not the taxable income, which lead to numbers being off. This is now corrected, hopefully this is the issue you were seeing.
That's amazing. Shortly after the Powell interview, in a speech a wall street insider insisted the whole reason for 60 minutes interview is so that financial advisors can have a leg to stand on in case they get sued for buying stocks into a severe recession with earnings dropping. They just needed the CYA.
A contrarian rejects popular opinion, not to be antagonizing, but in an effort to show that group think may be off slightly. It is more an argument about what may be right (or what is dogmatic), than just being difficult to be difficult.

People who are difficult to be difficult are just assholes. Contrarians frequently get put in that bucket, but have different motives. Keep in mind the term is used a lot in investment.

For example, stating children should go back to school this fall works within "popular" demand or belief that masks are a solution to spread. A contrarian would indicate an abundance of caution about what is yet to be known about how this is spread, and that perhaps masks don't exactly work the way we think they do.

Holding a contrary view that masks don't work doesn't make someone an asshole, but it could be viewed that way if the ones who disagree are unable to come to a conclusion contrary to that view based on empirical evidence, and not overwhelming abundance of popular opinion based on irrational understanding.

I normally have a really difficult time focusing on things, especially work related, this is mainly due to the noise and movement in an office setting. I've been working from home for quite some time now and I used to get most done during the night just like you. It's quiet and it's dark. I think the dark helps as much as the noise as well. There's less things that catch my attention. But I realized that, my sleep schedule was the main culprit behind me being unproductive during the day. I've tried various techniques, but it didn't help too much (I've been meditating regularly for over a decade now). The best way is to tire yourself, brisk walking etc. and also finding what makes you disconnect from your daily life.
I've been saying this for a while. There is simply a surplus of "forced buyers" for investments, so the price and yield has gone down and down, and there's no real reason why it can't be negative. The only next point is warehousing physical cash, which itself isn't cheap or liquid.

Individuals presented with this crisis could realise the problem, the disastrous future it implies, and turn to philanthropy. Institutions largely can't, and foreign oligarchs won't.
I'm on LTE. The carrier grade NAT implementation of my ISP may use a different public IP address for each TCP connection I make.

The webserver of my bank sees it as a hack and will then log me out.

Fortunately my ISP also has an APN when I'm allocated my own IP.
what kind of backups do you make, just regular database dumps?
I don't care for it. But might not be target audience.
I can't speak to every LEO but the gist in US law at least is that IP != person, unless some other outside proof corroborates it is. You could in theory be framed but it probably wouldn't hold up court. It definitely could throw you into court, though, and that can be damaging enough.

This is a sort of broad question, but if I were to try and answer I would say that if there is anything you want to be handled by the database you would gravitate towards an extension.

PostGIS is a great example since one of the most well known it additions it makes is a datatype, but that's not the only thing it adds. A datatype on it's own wouldn't be that useful without Spatial Indexing (https://postgis.net/workshops/postgis-intro/indexing.html) or spatial utilities to make spatial joins more expressive (https://postgis.net/workshops/postgis-intro/joins_exercises....).

Rich data types aren't the only candidates for extensions, automated partition management (https://github.com/pgpartman/pg_partman), data sharding (https://www.citusdata.com/), or even database cron scheduling (https://github.com/citusdata/pg_cron) are also good examples of things that are well suited to be extensions.

To be honest, I have a hard time imagining alternative paths where some of this functionality _isn't_ an extension. You might imagine an external daemon for things like pg_cron and pg_partman, but if PostGIS wasn't an extension you would probably be using a different database/tool (or a fork) if you had geospatial requirements. It's worth noting that Citus was a fork of PostgreSQL before it was refactored to be an extension.

I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but hopefully you find it somewhat useful.

Edit: I totally forgot to add 1 more thing about extensions. When functionality is packaged as an extension there is a much higher likelihood you can mix and match them. For example, I currently run a PostgreSQL cluster using Citus, with pg_partman for automatic time-based partitioning, pg_cron regularly scheduling partition creation, and PostGIS for geospatial datatypes. You could extrapolate the various ways you might use this kind of setup...one that jumps to my mind is a scalable GPS history that could be queried by time period as well as by geographic region.

You're not wrong, but barring bugs in `pgx` (of which I'm sure there are plenty right now), at least Rust gives you compile-time guarantees around not crashing.

And when running inside your database process, that's a huge win.

Money printer could potentially prop up the market longer if we printed money for the people most hit by the crisis. IE, the small business owners and the poor/middle-class that will and are struggling to pay bills and rent.

Nathan Tankus goes over this one facet quite well [1] which is that essentially landlords are going to burn themselves down trying to extract rent from tenants that will fundamentally be unable to pay due to the coronavirus. Once those people are forced out of their homes then we'll see the crisis hit full speed.

I think one important thing to note is being "unusual" is ONLY celebrated for wildly successful people.

If you make it like Steve Jobs people will over-analyse everything you did and said and try to somehow link that to your success.

If you are not wildly successful people just consider it a boring personal flaw and they will not tolerate your attitude.
It shows the linux distros I have torrented but not any piracy lol
What do you do when you come across lines that you want to commit, but edit beforehand? I always run into syntax errors when I use `e` to edit a diff during `git add -p`, and it doesn't update the file in the working tree, which I also want. Skip it and then `commit --amend`?
And moderate people supporting the CoC 'promised' it wouldn't be a takeover and that slippery-slope style arguments were fear mongering. Months later Linus is muzzled and the teams are starting to have more and more restrictions based on this microaggression bullshit. Can't wait until they decide the team is 'too white' and they decide to enforce quotas on people based on protected classes.

>Cameras can’t tell you the name and address of the pixel blob that is committing the crime.

Given sufficient resolution, software, and access to data they can with some degree of accuracy.

>My building had countless footage of people entering the bike room or parking and stealing bicycles

With bicycle theft you have an individual with an incentive to recover the bike approximately equal to the retail value of the bike, and few resources at their disposal. Law enforcement is not going to pay much more than lip service to a stolen bike, because they don't have any tangible incentive to recover it, while it's probably a lot of work to even try. Depending on the building, it's possible the landlord is sufficiently incentivized to increase security to mitigate tenant complaints, but that won't extend to the search for a bike that has already been stolen.

By contrast, with bank fraud you have, for example, a $300 bn company like JPM with a strong incentive to protect their network's security and consumer trust, cameras everywhere, and good working relationships with law enforcement at many levels of government. It is much more likely to be taken seriously and acted upon, and is therefore riskier than bike theft.
Once you allow for the fall in interest rates over the past decades, the house price rise looks less surprising. However, there's a weird corollary: what happens when rates go negative?
This doesn't at all address the core point I'm making: that pension funds are not required to achieve a given rate of return in any meaningful sense.

But sure, I agree that there are other ways to handle the situation if the fund doesn't achieve its assumed rate of return. There are other options than increasing employer contributions.
What program did you use to actually write your book? Word/Pages?

What did you use for the blog?
As also mentioned by OP, blogging for your book while writing it, is a very important exercise and it's so underrated.

I've spent countless hours during Covid isolation looking for good to excellent books on Engineering and Computer Science. Excellent book authors for examples Lewis Van Winkle, Pieter Hintjens and Andrew "bunnie" Huang do have blogs.

p/s: To be honest the three authors examples are from an Amazon's book reviews but I hope you've got my point.
Yeah, but if you ever see someone paying attention to them you know they are talking about something great. If you see people talking to nice people you have to listen and evaluate the ideas yourself.
How slow is it ?
Not positive about TW, but IME Comcast does not.

I know people complain (fairly!) about comcast a lot, but some things they've consistently gotten right are stable IPs even if you don't pay for an explicit static address, and pushing v6 VERY hard.

> This quote from the article is incredibly sad: "each async library, comes its own ecosystem of libraries, which only work with that async library".

Having to write async versions of the sync APIs doesn't need to be the case: https://docs.rs/smol/0.1.18/smol/ lets you use blocking APIs in async contexts without blocking (by dispatching them to different threads). What the ecosystem is seeing is a few different projects trying things out in different ways to explore the design space. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

> Rust is ground breaking in some areas, but also completely lacks innovation in others.

Other than the borrow checker Rust is a very boring language for language designers. That is intentional :)

> But is it actually _necessary_ to resort to async I/O in Rust, given that the type system appears to make thread-based concurrency safe ?

async/await lets the compiler perform some extra inferences on how you're using your data, which makes writing an `async fn foo();` much easier than `fn foo() -> impl Future;` if you are dealing with borrowed data. Of course, the same underlying threading primitives are still available to use.
Yes - but in my case I'm happy to comply. My ISP is a locally-owned small-business that operates a WISP. They're genuinely nice people, pick up on the 1st ring when there's an issue and provide great support.

If they say that P2P transfers on their network cause congestion and degradation, I believe them, and I'm happy to find alternatives.

An intern once thought it was a good idea to torrent a couple of Game of Thrones episodes using my startup's Digital Ocean box.

We found out after Digital Ocean forwarded us an email from HBO (who presumably tracked Digital Ocean down via the IP) that we were engaging in piracy. We sent an email to everyone with access, saying whoever was doing it to stop. Then we got a second email (a final warning).

Everyone denied doing it, so I had to find the offender via checking the bash history of the box for all users.

Sure enough a couple of mkv files had been downloaded and deleted by an intern :( Making the mistake of downloading it was forgiveable once, since we lived in a culture where piracy was rampant / normal (this was before Netflix et al were available in my country). But repeating the offense, failing to come clean and making us waste our time to locate who did it was not. (This was a small 7 person startup so trust was super important).

As for why the intern needed to ssh into a digital ocean box to run a torrent? The college internet (where he was working from) blocked torrent connections and he wanted to be the first one to download and release the episodes on the college intranet. Smh.
