Am curious to see what everyone interviewed for the book thought about things compared to 2008, 2016, and Covid 19.
fixed amount of work is required for some task in society and some work don't need to work for increasing demand (like make a drama).
That is for random (v4) UUIDs. v1 UUIDs are mostly sequential in time on a single machine so don't have this problem, altough they do have problems that others indicated already.
UUIDs can have severe performance implications. Even without massive randomness, a change in the MAC address used or non sequential numbers can slow down writes massively. As others have written, a simple 64bit integer should be enough for pretty much any case. Even Google won't exhaust those for their user database.
“Jews” was trending for hours yesterday with top results displaying anti-Semitic tweets. Just saying.

Please don't. Duplicating lowers the signal/noise ratio. If you want to refer to what was posted elsewhere, a link is a perfectly good tool.
You have all my upvotes. I really would like to like Lua but the lack of the mentioned basic infrastructure elements like powerful Unicode support and platform-independent parallelism abstractions make every larger Lua project a DSL of it's own.
All FPGAs are "proprietary garbage". Some have been reverse-engineered (like the Lattice) with great effort, but that's the only difference.
Well, consider our own society. A perfectly natural way to outcompete your neighbor is by getting strong enough to murder them and take over their resources. But we have mechanisms that prevent this from being the norm.

When it comes to interactions between cultures, such mechanisms are still nascent. But since we're one of the cultures that have historically been defecting in this sense, the onus is on us to develop those mechanisms. We are in a unique position where we can take all those gains from unrestricted competition we engaged it, and utilize them to prevent the same in the future. And, conversely, if we treat other cultures as inferior on the basis that they couldn't (or refused to) remain competitive against us, that's straight-up victim blaming.

As for the counter-argument that if it weren't for us, they'd just be outcompeted by someone else, well... would you consider it acceptable to murder a person for material gain, if you knew with absolute certainty that they'd be murdered later by somebody else, anyway? Our society in general certainly does not consider this a valid justification - whatever the hypotheticals, the person who actually committed the murder bears full responsibility for it. If somebody were to say that the victim had it coming because they weren't able to muster an adequate defense, or because they refused to defend themselves for moral reasons (e.g. pacifism), that would be considered a morally repugnant position, right? So then isn't it hypocritical to not use the same logic for moral judgments on how our culture interacts with others?
Maybe this https://github.com/mingodad/ljs and this https://github.com/mingodad/ljsjit does to some degree what you have in mind ?

> If you could look for something like multiple accounts tweeting the same thing within 1 minute, in the past couple weeks, you could turn up some candidates for test accounts

I think this would turn up alot more results than you bargained for.
I believe they still use the MAC address? If the master node changes, the number could suddenly start at a different block, causing massive performance impacts. If they're purely sequential you can as well use a 64 bit int.
The submitter edited it. YC wasn't involved.
> I am filled with rage just thinking about how we took a fundamental part of the Internet, simple enough that anyone can implement an HTTP server,

Ahahahahahah, yes, anyone can implement a HTTP server, just badly. HTTP/1.1 is quite complex, the spec alone spans over eight RFCs: if you can implement all of that I doubt the HTTP/2 serialization is much of a concern. :P
In the movie he mentions Oxford Nanopore tech and using reads of 100.000 to 1.000.000 base pairs
No, I'm stillnusing my OnePlus 3 as a daily driver. I'm in the process of finding similar programs to the ones I regularly use on the PinePhone so I can eventually try using it for a day.
tree-sitter is excellent stuff! It's heavily inspired by Tim Wagner's PhD thesis (original site seems to be down, but https://web.archive.org/web/20150919164029/https://www.cs.be... works). IMHO more people should know about that work, and the sequence of work from Susan Graham's lab that led up to it. We have also been heavily inspired by Tim's work and Lukas's thesis extends and updates a number of aspects of that seminal work including, in Chapter 3, error recovery (https://diekmann.co.uk/diekmann_phd.pdf).

All that said, it's surprisingly difficult to compare error recovery in an online parser (i.e. one that's parsing as you type) to a batch parser. In the worst case (e.g. load a file with a syntax error in), online parsers have exactly the same problems as a batch parser; however, once they've built up sufficient context they have different, sometimes more powerful, options available to them (but they also need to be cautious about rewriting the tree too much as that baffles users).
Even more important, Github lives off fees paid by companies. They might switch to Gitlab or other competitors if availability remains an issue. Facebook lives off ads, as long as people visit FB, companies won't really take their ads somewhere else.
It feels like that the company is lacking a programmer who is decent at communication.

It can be easily solved by asking what is a parts of code do, or how it works and why.
This is a significant condemnation of the "systems design" approach that has been central to space engineering so far. It might have been appropriate in the past, when access to space was actually expensive, but it has also significantly stifled the progress within established players, and only a new player, free from orthodox thinking patterns, was able to innovate.
I've been thinking about this for a bit. Perhaps these were crypto scammers that discovered a God mode and used it. To actually monetize this hack in another way would mean getting in touch with some truly powerful/evil people and possibly putting yourself in danger.

Creating a couple of wallets and a website can be done mostly anonymously. Sure, the money is a lot less, but so is the risk.
To send more data per second, you either need a carrier wave of higher frequency (which 5G is doing), or an increased number of simultaneous data streams at the present frequency (which 5G is also doing).

Beamforming can't overstep the physical limitations of a carrier wave, it just adapts the radiation pattern of the antenna array to improve range and reduce interference. This is useful to extend the range of high-band signals, because they operate in object-dense space with a high density of clients. It is also useful at the lower frequencies, because it allows an improvement in spectrum efficiency in an otherwise crowded part of the spectrum.

You are basically saying that beamforming allows more single-user MIMO to improve the data speed of an individual user's connection at the lower frequencies. I agree with that. However, you still need more base stations because (A) you won't see the massive advertised 5G speeds without sub-6GHz and mm-wave, and (B) you need more antennas as you improve MIMO to serve more simultaneous data streams to each individual user at sub-GHz.

I am not familiar with the authors of this paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.07678.pdf), but it offers a good explanation with some images:

The spectral efficiency of Massive MIMO grows monotonically
with the number of antennas [28]. Thus, we can expect a
future where hundreds or thousands of antennas are used to
serve a set of users. There are, however, practical limits to
how many antennas can be deployed at conventional towers
and rooftop locations, for example, determined by the array
dimensions allowed by the site owner, the weight, and the
wind load. [...] Nevertheless, the spatial multiplexing
capability of these two dimensional planar arrays in our
three-dimensional world is far from what has been demonstrated
in the academic literature, where large one-dimensional arrays
are often considered in a two-dimensional world. In many
practical deployment scenarios, the user channels are mainly
separable in the horizontal domain [35] since the variations
in elevation angle between different users and scattering
objects are relatively small. [...] However, to deploy more
than a few hundred antennas per site and to obtain a truly
massive spatial resolution in the horizontal domain, we need
new antenna deployment strategies.
Instead of gathering all the antennas in a single box,
which will be visible and heavy, the antennas can be
distributed over a substantially larger area and made
invisible by integrating them into existing construction
elements.

Also, you're going to see mid-band (sub-6GHz) rolled out in a lot of places where mm-wave wouldn't be appropriate.
Ok - I am badly lost. Are we saying we have a map of the known universe, and it has a South Pole? I think this would be a cool
map to share - start putting copies up on school

Is Musks account really publicly managed? He probably has an agency helping him but I doubt he'd use another account for DMs.
You can do something similar in the Netherlands, but it results in a very sour relationship with your landlord. They probably won't ever fix anything and it has led to intimidation and worse occassionally.
Personally I think it is more like "old player that did not understand software development gets trounced by new player that has software at its core"

This is not waterfall vs agile really. But software eats the world
Or they were but it was kept secret. Twitter hasn't published a list, we only know of the BTC tweets. Maybe they actually were after other accounts' DMs and the tweets are just diversion to make it seem like an undirected attack.

Unless we hear from account holders that their credentials weren't stolen, there's no reason to believe that only those were hacked that sent tweets.
Tradeoffs, transcoding, and delivery.

1) If you want very low latency, any network jitter or delays will cause pauses on the viewer side and "skips" when the feed catches up after a brief dropout. This is fine for video chat, where a little blip doesn't interrupt the experience. For live streams with 30k+ viewers, it's pretty annoying and very noticeable if the audio cuts out or skips. A 2-3 second window is typically large enough to paper over any jitter or retransmits due to packet loss between the broadcaster and Twitch servers.

2) Transcoding can be done with very low latency, but it's harder to scale horizontally and uses more bandwidth than if you give yourself a few hundred ms of buffer. Larger buffers enable better compression. Transcoding is needed if you want to stream to mobile, web, etc. in multiple formats, bitrates, or resolutions.

3) Chunked HTTP content is much easier to serve than RTMP or WebRTC-style content. You can use nginx or drop your content on a low-cost CDN. The caveat is that chunking generally introduces latency unless you do something fancy such as streaming chunks as they're being written to disk.

I'm a Brazilian and I gesture a lot. People here in the US find it funny.
They needed to reset credentials so this could've never been a stealth attack. By making it public, any later leak of DMs is much more likely to be accepted as authentic. Without that, most people would've doubted the authenticity of leaked material.
I had a knee jerk reaction against it as well. But when you think about it, it kind of makes sense.

A) these are properties of the variable, not the value. <close> triggers when the variable goes out of scope, and <const> supposedly was a feature that came out of implementing <close>. Both only work with local variables.

B) the angle brackets leave room for extension with more properties in the future without creating an additional new syntax.

C) you can multi-declare several variables with different properties i.e.: `local a <const>, b, c <const> = "apple", "banana", "carrot"` with only a and c being const.

D) no new keyword(s) added to the language

Compared to the simple syntax of the rest of the language it may be a little jarring, but it was well thought out and imo it's still better than weird stuff like "spaceship operators", "hashrockets" or other weird syntax oddities in more popular languages. Would you really prefer chains of keywords? `static const char *strprbrk` We have angle brackets now. If it turns out to be a mistake, I'm sure Roberto and his team will just take it back out of the language.
Sounds like "committing suicide" in a US super max with extra steps.

Golden rule is you don't steal money from rich people, only poors.
Assuming you lack the capacity to leave for good, you probably want to be in the system, but in a well-stocked tin can rather than a planet. You won’t be able to maneuver a planet but your tin can might be able to stick around. Afterwards you’ll need a star and whatever planets didn’t get eaten or flung out of the system.

You definitely don’t want to be on a planet that gets flung out of both systems. Even if you somehow had millions of years of fuel, your civilization would probably never be close to any other body in space again.
This doesn't work though. Either stuff is taken out of context or you have to read the whole tweet thread for the context...
Google's interest on Swift isn't that much reflected outside when Tensorflow 2020 conference did not spend 1 second on Swift, not even to write a tiny status update blog post.

Yet they had enough C++, Android, Python and JavaScript to talk about.

C++, Python, Julia, R own Machine Learning.

I don't miss Swift on Windows, the JVM and .NET stacks offer plenty of choice, including better GPGPU support across multiple OSes.

One thing that I'd like to mention is that the author of this post attended Mississippi State University. I mention this because there is a widespread stereotype of the Deep South as a place teeming with racists, rubes, the willfully uneducated, etc... and I want to draw attention to the fact that there are also technology geniuses that come from there too.
Weird that they didn't require any MFA from a second support // Admin account when dealing with account security settings for prominent accounts. That's not that hard to set up and makes these sort of things harder to pull off. Not to mention severe rate limitation on internal accounts. How many prominent accounts does one support person need to reset password or email per day? Not that many, I'd wager.
I might agree that there are some interesting dynamics here and that they relate to this set of values, it's just that "X is being treated as white" is not necessarily a good way of describing them. Using that kind of wording is just assuming the conclusion - and while "white" and "non-white" may have been used in that way by some, it's only a small part of how these terms were used and it's hardly what most people think about as "white" today.

"What fuels structural, systemic racism" is another can of worms entirely and I see little reason to get into it here, other than to note that our aforementioned attitudes to class, wealth, gratification etc. might just as well be "fueling" other systemic social problems that people don't generally describe as "systemic racism", such as the opioid overuse epidemic among lower-class whites. So again, bringing race into the description of these problems risks adding confusion for little gain.

Voyage by Sterling Hayden

It's a book about a South Easter ship doing a coal delivery from East to West coast of the USA via Cape Horn. The book doesn't seem to be very popular, but IMO the most vivid depiction of merchant navy under sail, written by someone who lived it.
Why not drastically different approach - ie. instead of active technical interview process on company's side, just put up few dozens of open source projects/libraries that are being used inside company and leave it as technical interview sandbox.

Keep brownie points on pull requests to unlock "you gained <<passed technical interview>> badge" a'la stack overflow or do one off evaluation based on contribution when candidate applies. Stack overflow contributions can be equally taken under account to gain points and arguably they have badge system that does the job for you already.

Github could introduce something similar and wipe out "anxiety interview" completely, if they wanted to.

There is really no reason to do technical interview when you can inspect open source work. For people who don't have contributions yet, open source libraries/projects by the company should be made available.

Seems like win-win for everybody.
What surprises me is that there aren't more users of this constant...
Their is bodyweight for the posterior and lower body other than air squat.
- Pistol squat, shrimp squat, sissy squat, nordic curl, bridge, sprint and many more.

And the progressive overload can be done by exercice variation, you do an harder one.

Exemple: incline push up -> push up -> diamond push up -> pseudo planche push up -> push up on gymnastic ring -> bulagarian push up on ring -> one hand push up.

The current bodyweight fitness is way way past just increasing rep on easy exercice.

I was just participating in a conference over Zoom. For most people it was enough to just listen to the audio and look at the slides on their shared screen. For the one Italian speaker, you really needed to watch her hand gestures as well to get the full effect of the talk.
You would be surprised. Of course it would be a disruptive tweet, but it would not be a credible threat of war, in reality.
For threat Intel Twitter: tweets can no longer contain file hashes
Twitter shut off the ability for many people to tweet after hack
Perhaps this will teach them their username is not an appropriate password. But probably not.
This is exactly what I was thinking. This has made me lose a lot of faith in crypto, not that I had a ton of faith to begin with. But I keep hearing people talk about blacklisting addresses and blocking transactions. That's scary stuff. How can people ever feel comfortable storing large amounts of money in crypto if the big players can simply block their address and make it near impossible to liquidize their money? I feel like this incident is showing Bitcoin's (at least what Bitcoin has grown to become) true colors.

In any case this is the perfect example why 2FA via ss7 is the worst idea any developer ever had.

I hope that twitter learned that 2FA via SMS should be treated as what it is: totally unnecessary.
The big difference is for the first case you can influence it very strongly, the second one is indiscriminate. So the personal risk for you (and for me) might be much higher for the random mugging case.

They accessed maybe 30 accounts?
that's less than 4 per 8hr working shift

I imagine a support person does more than in an average day.

And while we might have seen all the tweets at the same time, they might have been changing emails and passwords over few hours.

Remember twitter has so many users they probably get tens of thousands support requests per day.

Even if you have monitoring, I don't think volume was enough to pick it up.

> I mean, tax rates can change over time. It seems like the goalposts have now been moved from "did they pay US tax?" to "did they pay enough US tax?".

No, that is decidedly not what we are talking about. The claim was that holding all your money away from the US does not matter because the tax will be paid eventually. As we see, no it wasn't and the tax rate was not lowered because "taxes change over time" but because otherwise companies will just not ever repatriate their money.

It is factually correct to say that apple did not pay the full US tax rate on the money they earned overseas. You are free to argue that this is fine and they at least still paid some, lower tax rate, but this is the whole topic we are talking about. Apple pays very low tax rates and the EU, Ireland and the US are arguing whether this is unfair (state aid) and should change.

Thank you for proving my point, indeed HN (and the internet) is filled with the reality-distorted glasses :)
I'm working on a project which attemps to address this issue.

It uses a portable storage format to allow you to move user profiles, threads, and entire communities wholesale, between servers, as well as keeping them synchronized.
