> If I am enjoying the project and/or the team at my current job, I would not accept a 5-15% salary increase offer, as after 3-6 months I may get even more increase at my current job

This is one of the biggest points I try to communicate when I mentor junior engineers.

It's a common trap for junior engineers to be lured away from companies they enjoy when a recruiter spontaneously offers them a 10-20% raise. Meanwhile, a common tactic among toxic companies is to lure people in with an easy 10-20% raise and then overwork them until they burn out and quit. Turnover is high, but these companies overlook that because they have a deep pool of junior candidates to lure in with those 10-20% raise offers.

The biggest companies get around this by overpaying their junior engineers so they have no incentive to leave, and then aggressively weeding out the underperformers. This only works if you have deep pockets, though.
> The burden of proof is on you, since you're the one clearly advocating for Linux here.

Ehh... if you want proof for a specific claim then ask for it. I am asking you for proof of the specific positive claim you made, which is:

> Solaris regularly beats Linux in performance on the same hardware, and the subsystems which are "slower" aren't really: they just don't lie and trade safety for performance, like Linux does. Linux is fake performance at the cost of correctness of operation.

The claims I did make is that in my experience Solaris had to be tuned to be reasonably performant. One example where tuning was needed by default was malloc. The default malloc from Solaris had horrible multi threaded performance . IIRC ZFS also had quite horrible performance by default if not tuned and I recall there were multiple tuning we had to do on new installations specifically relating to mmap to somewhat mitigate the poor integration of ZFS ARC cache and page cache which are documented here: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/225 and https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2016-Jul... there was also a whole wiki on ZFS tuning for various applications including MySQL.
I don't remember the last time I got such a chuckle out of a domain name, but this one is great.
As I understand that unique visitor would be higher (awstats, IIRC, considers that after an hour, a same IP is a new visitor), I don't get how you can have that number for page views. I guess it depends on people gowing back to pages and JS is not executed, but logs are updated ?

Strange.
It sounds great, but the permissions it needs is too much for me:

Would it be possible to use deploy keys for specific repositories instead?
Your concern is a reasonable one: Ross Ulbricht was literally the founder of Silk Road and so should have been able to make darknet transactions as well as anyone - and yet he (allegedly) engaged in six different murder-for-hire attempts spending $730,000 - and none were successful [1].

For more mundane services, though, most 'darknet markets' like Silk Road have a seller account reputation system, like ebay; and a payment escrow system. So you can choose a seller who has 100 previous transactions and a 99.5% positive reputation. And if they don't deliver, they don't get paid.

You can also ramp your purchases up gradually, buying the $10 1-hour DDOS and the $60 1-day DDOS, thus confirming the supplier can deliver before spending more than you can afford to lose.

And of course it's traditional for every bitcoin/darknet service to eventually fold with some insider making off with everyone's money. For that, I don't know what the common mitigations are, apart from not carrying an account balance larger than you can afford to lose.

I am dyslexic as well, and have the exact experiences you describe. I wonder of a better "simulation" is the random subtle replacement of words in a text with other words, as well as the subtle change of spelling of new or unfamiliar words (e.g., names). Not the best but maybe slightly better.
A while back I built out a proof-of-concept distributed web based on webtorrents - https://github.com/tom-james-watson/wtp-ext. Once this change makes its way into popular clients, it makes the idea a whole lot more viable.

While I know why you say this, I find it matters little.

I've started emails off with (very close to):

"NOTE: this is a technical issue. You may not understand it. Please forward to a technical person", with a lot of variety on that line.

These too garner little response.

I've started out with problem first, then tech info. It seems to matter little, and my humour via that first line, was an attempt to amuse non-technical types into reading further.

I must have concocted > 100 over the years. Perhaps 10% responded, regardless of the layout or form of the email. Even 10% is generous.

The reality? Anything technical, no matter how presented, is too confusing for many.
Really nice Article
My high school experience (in the UK three decades ago) doesn't really fit with this blog. We were taught quite a lot about scientific methods to the point where we often wanted the science teacher to just stop with meta-teaching and throw some science facts at us! Maybe it means they didn't really succeed in getting the point across :-/

Both of these things suggest they had many other reasons to chose FreeBSD, and neither suggests FreeBSD was faster than Linux:

- https://people.freebsd.org/~scottl/Netflix-BSDCan-20130515.p...

- https://youtu.be/KP_bKvXkoC4?t=732

Seems GPL was a problem for them.

EDIT: another source suggesting GPL avoidance was the primary reason for choosing FreeBSD over Linux: https://youtu.be/vcyQBup-Gto?t=2731 - and the presenter also says that the performance comparisons they have done between Linux and FreeBSD is not exactly fair because they did not do all the engineering work on Linux that they did on FreeBSD.
Because when I visit a theatre website to book tickets, whether or not Facebook can stalk me is an orthogonal concern to the primary one of "let me give you my money for your tickets"

The number of pages that silently fail or time out after 5-10 mines due to these assumptions is really disappointing.

I think the idea is: I trust the content of the website (ex. the actual weather forecast) but I don't trust/like the way it is served on their website (intrusive ads, cookie acceptance, heavy pages, etc). The fact that the core of the content is displayed directly through Google bypasses the problems above.
It is a project under the GNU umbrella. That said, that's a loose association (i.e. it's not like GNU projects necessarily share developers, project leadership or even much in the way of infrastructure), so it does seem needlessly click-baity. (Next up: "GitHub: A Heuristic for Bad Cryptography"? - although GNU projects probably have a bit more cultural overlap)
> Also, if you dive into the Windows 10 sound settings, you can set the default device and the volume for every application and it'll never deviate from that unless you explicitly change it again.

Yes, I've dug deep in the Windows 10 sound settings many times. I promise you, it regularly deviates from it, in ways that don't seem at all deterministic. Your solid belief in Windows 10's sound system not containing any bugs doesn't jibe with my experience of it :)

As mentioned in my previous comment, I suspect there's something other than PulseAudio causing your issues, like some external tool (possibly bundled as part of a desktop environment) trying to manage the sources/sinks/volume. Because of that hunch I'd probably suggest your distribution's bug tracker as the appropriate place to report the issue, as it's likely an issue of integration.
USS Bonhomme Richard on Fire
The only thing that burned my team on Consul was DNS routing. At high request load, it would not load balance fairly leading to hotspots that could lead to a node falling over and lead to a thundering herd of node failures. This was several years ago, so maybe they fixed it. I believe it was something to do with a time component to the routing, likely some ill-though-out optimization that failed at scale (one node would be hot for some number of seconds, then some other node would take its place). We got around it by making a routing library that used the (non-exposed) Watcher API to build the membership info for the cluster in memory for each node (instead of relying on DNS), and then did round-robin on the cluster for routing each subsequent request.

> Six years without a power cut doesn't seem too surprising.

It depends where you live and / or you might not notice them if they happen at night.

Even in France which is supposed to be a first world country I experience a couple power cuts every month (twice at night this week-end, it killed my tile generation and corrupted my filesystem on my OSM server).

I probably should invest in a UPS instead of complaining on HN !

I like the premise of sort of simplifying things a bit..but nowadays I'm not signing up for any centralized system/network if i can avoid it. For me, an important criteria would be if it can federate (that is, not be centralized), and additionally, ideally if i can self-host my own instance. Gone are the days where i blindly sign up for systems that are centralized. I should clarify that i'm by no means bashing the people behind this effort - kudos to them for trying new stuff! With no offense to them, I'm merely noting that if this effort were combined with the fediverse efforts, then it would interest me.

RE: random bash commands. Part of the reason I linked shopify's SPF page to them -- an attempt to provide external validation.

But I get it. Which is why, as I mention in that other response, it doesn't matter what I send. Even pleas to forward to a technical person = ignored.

(I bet lots of tech people get forwarded all sorts of crap that IS a scam, so yell "DON'T FORWARD THIS STUFF TO ME".)

In fact, I have even called some places. One started screaming at me. I'm guessing some phone scam "got them", and therefore equated me to the same.

What can you do?

I mean, seriously?

Early on, the CDC and WHO were both saying NOT to wear masks. The hidden agenda at that time was to prevent a run on masks that might prevent health care workers from having enough. That was the lie.

This is actually not so weird if you speak a Germanic language (which you do, but I mean the ones on the other side of the sea). Of course Latin has long crept into German and Scandi languages, but there's significant pieces left. Things like sourstuff and "choking-stuff" (nitrogen) are still there in chemistry textbooks.

Likewise with other technical jargon like average (cut: schnitt, snit, etc) and density (mass-fill). In the end though it's much easier to switch to English, because everyone speaks it nowadays.

Anything AMP related. Travel search (in the event they aren't hurting enough). Agree weather is an improvement.
> Why would you sell that information for $25?

Because there's almost no risk associated with it. You don't have to get a team together to hit up ATMs and extract money from those cards, which requires trust and increases complexity, you just mount a few skimmers, collect the data, remove the skimmers, and then sell it online and let someone else take the risk.
It's part of a comprehensive strategy that includes creating domestic companies.
Science is engaging with the data, engaging with the experts, understanding and addressing what that all really says, while keeping in mind that the experts are ignorant and I am ignorant.

Just sitting in my basement grumping about how the experts are ignorant is not science. People did that long before science became influential, and they will continue to do it long after science dies out (god forbid).
>perceived authority as a "real" publisher,

With certain professional books publishing with a known publisher definitely gives the book a certain "gravitas" (deserved or not) that it may not have if you independently publish. And if you're mostly writing a book to burnish your professional reputation (as is often the case) rather than to make money, that may be a pretty good tradeoff even if you could have made more in direct sales if you published yourself.

To be honest, I'm not sure publishers do an awful lot for you directly though you will probably have to pay out of your pocket for things like editing services if you go it yourself, but the name does still often matter.
This statement doesn't even make sense, where are you acquiring this knowledge if not from experts? Are you out there doing field research and conducting your own scientific experiments on every subject you're interested in?

I'd love to hear a couple examples of which "expert opinions" you've disproven for yourself and where you acquired the supporting evidence.

And here we have the root of the problem.

I can look up how to change my car's alternator on youtube, yet I am not an expert at cars.

I can look up how to take cuttings and pot geraniums on youtube, yet I am not an expert in horticulture.

I can look up how vaccines are harmful and masks interfere with my breathing on youtube, yet I am not an expert in infectious diseases.

People believe the three things I have listed are equal, and that their research on youtube/facebook/twitter/the web in general is just as valid as an expert opinion. We have been taught that we CAN learn anything online, and that we CAN be an expert on everything, or at least we can feel like an expert on everything.

Anti-intellectualism no doubt has been given a bad name by its adherents. By its very nature it attracts the ignorant and opportunistic. But anti-intellectualism, in and of itself, is a positive good for our society. Ironically, we just need more intellectuals to embrace it and to give it more rigorous foundations.

Science is a process not a body of knowledge. A scientist, outside of the scientific process, is just a hobbyist. An interested layman. I can't tell you how many "science-denial" stories start and end with "such and such said so and so in an interview -- this is wrong according to this research paper". And of course, the "science-denier" is correct. But the problem in this situation isn't science. Its the belief that doing science gives you credibility outside the narrow scope of the science you actually do. Even if the topics are related.

I know enough scientists to know they are human. They make mistakes. Science as a process helps correct that. Science as a belief system turns them into false prophets.

The belief in the "expert" needs to die. "Experts say [...]" is such a common refrain in American media its become a cliche. Experts can write a peer-reviewed paper under all the rigors of the scientific method and then they may summarize it for broader consumption. But to extend that ethos any further than the recitation of knowledge already produced is to do a disservice to science and the progress of humanity.
This seems like an interesting comment, but I don't really understand it, probably from lack of context. Are you saying darknet sellers discriminate based on race for reasons that don't make a lot of sense? Or am I misunderstanding?

Not sure about how viable it is in Go, but our Python tests automatically `initdb` and start Postgres as part of the test suite setup, and burns it all down during teardown. Each test inside the suite gets an isolated database inside the cluster.

Nothing to manage for the regular application/test developer, no persistent background services, nothing exposed outside of the local machine, no dependency on Docker. You just need to have Postgres on your $PATH, and even that is handled for you by Nix.

We use the same approach to transparently also run the same tests against MSSQL, and it is mostly transparent (except for all the ugly hacks involved to run an isolated MSSQL instance outside of Docker container).

Yes, there is some scaffolding involved, but it contains zero model logic, and ~never has to be touched again once it works.
Seems to be genuine. In fact for 1 year whilst $100k is quite a lot but as he said, he may be able to get that in consultancy. But I guess the satisfaction (if successful) would be very different.
