You haven't seen the full depths of it then.

I originally wrote "a giant headache that never goes away", but changed it because it is possible to renumber the networks. But... that doesn't properly fix the problem. You'll hit the exact same issue the next time you go through a merger.

Worse, RFC1918 isn't actually that big. There are plenty of companies out there that have either exhausted it or have to be very very careful with their use of it to avoid running out. At some point you run out of space to renumber into. You're also going to have issues with e.g. VPNs to people's home networks, where renumbering isn't viable.

How are you measuring the memory usage? 15 GB sounds like a count of virtual memory that includes lots of mappings that aren't physical memory.

On my FreeBSD desktop box right now, the main Firefox process has 1890MB RSS, and the content processes have anywhere from 248MB to 675MB. (Swap is completely unused.)

> if your don't have swap configured then virtually none of the Linux sleep mechanisms work. When the device sleeps, it stores the RAM contents in swap. If you don't have swap, you can't sleep.

???

Suspend-to-disk / "hibernation" (S4 in ACPI terms) is a really unpopular way of "sleeping" these days. FreeBSD outright does not support S4 (except S4BIOS).

The usual sleep is suspend-to-RAM. These days there's also S0ix which means turning as much as possible off but not changing system power state. Mobile phones are probably doing something like that.

> on low-RAM systems that can't keep the entire git folder cached for faster lookups

If you rely on caching for the git directory, the first time you navigate to a repo would be very frustrating too. You can't always rely on caching. Sometimes you have huge repos. Sometimes they are mounted over NFS and git status takes >10s. :D

IMO git status shell plugins are unnecessary and not worth it.

Maybe stop using the ancient terrible windowing server ;) It's a non-issue with Wayland.
I’ve flip-flopped back and forth between liking and hating remote work. Right now, the biggest issue I have with being remote is work life and home/family life bleeding into each other, resulting in a deterioration of both. I’m sure there are people who are better at compartmentalizing their lives, but there are probably others who struggle with it more than I do.
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 = 16 CO2 + 18 H2O

Don't forget the weight of the oxygen that goes into the reaction.
I wonder if you can find a remote code execution vulnerability in client libraries for one of these databases, and set up a few honeypot databases... you might be able to catch who's doing it and retaliate. The legalities of doing that are certainly questionable, but then again, so is this.
If you need ads to attract applicants in the first place then you're the opposite of elite. Your lobby should be stocked 24/7 with hungry applicants without you even having a brand presence. That's elite.

They did. It's called libsodium. And people have been writing vanity versions of libsodium's functionality forever. You don't hear about them, because (thankfully) nobody uses them.
I'm in a temporary gig at some administration. It's basically a long game of 'always been like this'. It takes weeks to do anything there.. Coming from a different culture (planet even at this point). It took me 2 days to do it without harm. Imagine if everybody would strive to optimize globally (without breaking the system ofc)..
I don't think it's done intentionally, but I also don't think the big players go out of their way not to harm the small ones. All the big email players would love to take your money to "outsource" your email.
Good reminder to everyone including myself to use services that have budget alerts or spike protection. And to stay away from aws, even 23$ for static website hosting is a bit too much in 2020. At fairly priced hosting without fancy name, 30tb traffic can cost <10$
This is a really interesting angle but I'd go somewhat further - it's not just the systems that need to be new, its the whole business! Monzo has had the advantage that its been able to design everything to fit both what is possible with automated systems and the current regulatory environment.

If you've got lots of edge cases from a legacy business then its probably not going to work anywhere near as well even if you could rewrite everything.
It's perfectly fine to check 282 blacklists and treat only N hits as a positive?
The "70%" herd immunity number is something someone pulled out of their ass in the early days. Recent studies show widespread T-cell immunity, and together with how a virus infection selects people for immunity (it's not the same distribution as a vaccine campaign), it seems that when 10-20% of the population has had it, that's enough for very strong community resistance, causing the virus to die out.

> What we've seen this spring and summer may only be a tenth of what's about to come.

How?

We've gotten better at treating covid-19 as the months passed, we figured out that ventilators was a pretty crap treatment, and instead figured out that oxygen, steroids and blood-thinners worked much better.

A large part of the population has already had it and built up immunity to it, and because of how a virus spreads through a population, the best spreaders are usually hit first.

The population that died from it were mostly the old and frail and at-risk, and we've gotten better at protecting them with time as well.

When we were unprepared, this thing killed less people than a regular flu season does. Why would it suddenly kill ten times as many people, now that we are prepared, and now that a significant part of the population is immune? What possible chain of events could lead to that outcome? Magic?

Can you realistically compile an interpreted language into WASM without embedding an interpreter? If I remember right, PHP has “eval”, so how would WASM code deal with such a statement (that could evaluate any possible code) without embedding a PHP interpreter?

I don't know your background, so I don't know at what level I should pitch my reply.

At the time, as far as we know, no one in the world had done it with the possible exception (in hindsight) of Paul Klimek, Bengt Magnusson, Bruce Tiemann, Mike Day, Adam Chalcraft, and me.

At the time it just wasn't known. When I was at juggling conventions I could torture 7 ball jugglers by getting them to try 441, 5551, and 66661. If you've never done SiteSwaps they feel seriously weird.

If that doesn't answer your question, tell me more about your background, what you know, whether you can juggle, and I'll tailor my answer further.
When the volume is set quite high (near max setting of the phone, definitely unhealthy for long-term use), it doesn't hold a candle to the Topping DX3 Pro v1[0] I use on my desktop. Important: I don't recommend the v2[1] that's currently on sale, as the measurements aren't anywhere as good. They did destroy the product with the amp redesign they did to get around a high early failure rate hardware problem on the v1 that they were never able to debug. I would suggest the JDS Atom + Atom DAC set or the Topping DX7 Pro instead, cheap (yet powerful well measuring) and expensive (but balanced and ridiculously well measuring) respectively. Or a Schiit Hel for a very portable usb-powered solution for the laptop backpack that also has mic input.

But at lowish volumes (used most of the time, don't destroy your ears!) then yes, phones tend to have reasonable headphone amps in them. With decent power output and lowish output impedance. Unlike most computer motherboards, which have excessive output impedance and out power is so low I'd call anemic, when not flawed in other ways (noise due to poor isolation, or non-flat frequency reproduction due to shit implementations of aliasing filters).

I mostly connect the headphones to the phone to play rhythm games like Love Live sif, allstars or idolm@ster deresute, mirishita. My phone (chinese and a few years old) does very successfully drive the HD600 to a pleasant output while playing these games.

As an aside, I absolutely recommend Sennheiser HD600 to anyone who wants a durable (plus tool-free modular with good availability of parts, and compatibility with HD580/58x/650(aka 6xx),660S parts, thus effectively forever) all-rounder open back headphone with a focus on accuracy that's cost efficient and extremely comfortable. Plus they've been around for a good two decades, thus there's no shortage of reviews to base a purchase decision on.

That article doesn’t provide any meaningful information on deaths. It does saying they are “spiking” in certain states but any review of data in the US will show that deaths are not increasing nationwide and the “upticks” in COVID-19 deaths are very very small compared to the history, every person who actually views the data would call it flat. We are talking about a roughly 70% decrease in deaths from COVID-19 from the peak. As I mentioned you used to have 22.25% chance a death was caused by COVID-19 and now if you die there is only roughly 5% chance it was from COVID-19 and that number doesn’t even require laboratory testing to verify, if they thought COVID-19 was a likely cause of death without testing it is still counted in those numbers.

Maybe you don't have to open the borders.

We can have a functional economy without the average person getting in planes and moving around the world. It is enough for essential staff and cargo to move around the world. No reason why that shouldn't work and we can't all make money. We will just be making money doing different things in different ways with different norms.

A very promising project is https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy. It is an all in one server that can both receive and send email.
It's not deprecated - it was deprecated and now it's completely gone.

Like Python 2.7, you can now only get support for JWS if you pay or if you go through a third-party.

If you're still using it I recommend you get off fast.
"Every several years (or ten), it requires a flurry of activity to update to new preferred daemons, or new hardware."

I think you are correct and this is a decent description of how this has worked.

I don't begrudge the every 5-10 year burst of activity/implementation. What I begrudge is the increased complexity. We're both talking about Redis as a hard requirement for rspamd which is the typical recipe for implementing DKIM which is required for email. That's a lot of moving parts.
I remember reading several of these in school, as school assignments. I remember being surprised years later to find how recent they were, as well as how uncontroversial their inclusion in the curriculum was.

On that note, kinda sad that they chose "True Names" over "Fast Times at Fairmont High" for Vinge's entry. Though I haven't read the former, the latter reads like TN's description, except for phenomena that haven't fully unfurled their existence and possibility yet. AR glasses, anyone?

Excellent, thank you for sharing this! I'm curious: do you know of me such resources / how did you come across this (researcher?)?
"I'm thinking / hoping it's sufficient to simply avoid headphones that require an app."

Every effing time they convince users to install an app they magically have a tool to steal peoples personal data.

Not just headphones: the kids toy drone can be controlled using an app from the cellphone? The security camera just purchased doesn't use standard protocols over a web browser but needs its own app? The IoT system doesn't use standard protocols as well but forces the use of their app? Bad, bad and bad! And so on for every piece of hardware that needs a proprietary app that -betting all my horses on that- will ask for full permissions to access everything.

In this context, headphones are among the easily replaceable accessories with secure and better sounding ones. Just get wired ones and avoid architectures that force the use of wireless phones just to make a bigger business out of a misfeature.
Which proves my assertion: Third-class women were more likely to survive than first-class men. Thanks.
You say this like it's bog standard but adding HRTF and compensation for speaker distance are not part of a standard panning algorithm. This is more likely to exist in another module, such as for ambisonics or correction.
>Firstly, neither is ever zero. That would only ever be true in a dead person.

Pedantically speaking, a depressed person can easily have zero drive to do stuff and still be intelligent.

As I said in another comment, "fixed" intelligence implicitly means a fixed ceiling; assuming we all know of intoxication, dementia, etc. is something I think is required by HN standards of being reasonably charitable towards the people you are addressing, also known as the Cooperative Principle.[1]

That’s the very definition of cutting corners. If they aren’t confident of their ability to operate safely they need to either hire a professional or go without - just as not wanting to pay a plumber doesn’t exempt you from meeting the health code or saving on accountants will be a get out of jail free card when you get audited.

If it sounds like I’m unsympathetic, yes, that’s true. Playing around with building your own database is a good learning experience but that changes once you expose other people to your mistakes. I’ve also dealt with a few small businesses and the people trying to run a business like this are always trying to save a buck - they’re the same ones who stiff contractors, avoid paying overtime, do their own taxes creatively, etc. If you have a successful business, you’ll drop a few bucks on Shopify, Wix, etc. to focus on the business rather than a distraction.
I think the reason rspamd+DKIM is so popular is that you're going to run a spam daemon anyway so ...
I'd say ultimately it depends on the worker's manager, if they follow the Babbage style of management you're gonna have problems, wherever the worker is working from.

Thanks for the response. I'm not that interested in picking my own components and place much more value on convenience and support. Hard to place a precise value on my time here, but I figure if a custom build gets me 1.5x or 2x
more performance/dollar for general workloads (I'm guessing those numbers are achievable if I did benchmarking for very specific workloads), then it's worth my time to do some deeper research... any estimate of what the value add of going custom is?
It's worse than this suggests.

If they couldn't provide an estimate because unexpected things happen and they can't predict all services that will be required, that'd be one thing. But they can't even provide a list like, "if you need an aspirin, that costs $X. And if you need..."

> It can be configured to have no login. If it doesn't have a login and gives you a welcome prompt it's not called hacking. In order to hack something it needed to be secured to start with.

I very strongly disagree with this. Can you cite somewhere that unauthorized database access is not hacking if there is no password? To me and I think the law that is definitely illegal and hacking.

> If you knock on a door and the door opens and says welcome what do you want to do (delete data, read data) and you pick delete it doesn't mean it's illegal vandalism.

Yes it does! If you don’t have authorized access then that database isn’t yours and entering it is illegal.
Everything my doctor can do in the office, is part of the monthly fee. Everything on top of it - either cash or insurance. Labs are very cheap when ordering through my doctor (I am talking about $4-$8 for typical stuff). Prescription drugs - i fill through the insurance (fixed co-pay in my case) and if something major will happen, like accident or such, my regular insurance will kick in (after paying several thousands out of pocket)

The thing is - the most expenses I had throughout the years I lived in the USA were on primary doctor and labs. Only in one year out of 10 I had an accident where without a regular insurance I would be screwed.

So high-deductible plan + direct care is the most optimal setup for me right now.
I'm an old-timer on this site.

The current topics are very interesting even if I cannot always say something useful.

I disagree strongly with a good number of people here but still think I have grown as a human to better understand some of the things I used to feel were totally ridiculous.

At the same time I feel I get some of my own ideas better across (easier to understand, less likely to hurt) so that more people can learn something from me as well, even if they disagree strongly with me.
I really think so. They are forcing everybody into their services.

Yes, that was really strange. We though they might need quick money, as this was right at the beginning of the corona crisis. Still, not acceptable.

> What if they were intentionally feeding rocketreech miss-information?

That's possible but quite strange. This information is public in our country, so there is a known reliable source and they should've known better.

> Obviously there was no way I would pay them but it was extremely difficult to convince them to stop harassing me for this money even though they had no proof.

Yes, this is quite usual. We were seriously lucky we discovered the change; but, given that they backed up so quick after calling it a fraud, I'm seriously assuming it was.

Not sure if this was intentional, but it made me chuckle.
This topic seems to be of prime importance to the US tech industry. I'm very surprised no post on this has yet made it to the front page.
Please do explain how.
The tutorial you linked to doesn't explain how to implement any of that stuff. But it doesn't matter because the panner in the article is fine as it is. Simple panning is often the best option in music, since filtering your sounds will just make your mix sound bad on common sound systems. Left/right delay will be great on headphones but create phase effects on common speaker setups, often making things worse as well. I don't think a general-purpose tool should add potentially unwanted effects like that.

They still want to live and work in downtown cities. They still want to go to the office and mingle/network.

Because if it's not destructive they have no reason to pay attention. Change names back and it's business as usual.
Is that really true though? My school offered the equivalent of CS 101 to CS grad students, so presumably some came from other disciplines and lacked the fundamentals.

I'm actually not sure I have read that and I will have to. True Names was much earlier and I think probably more prescient as a result. (And I personally read it during that earlier period so my reaction is probably much different.)

I do not think so, I think the spammers are still out there, armed with cheap cloud email providers, but the "block by default" is putting a nice dent on them.

Not necessarily, depending on where you're based.
This is a pretty absurd take in my opinion. I've worked in "coastal corporations with a modern HR department" without issue. Of course I share jokes, personal stories, and perspectives. Well, with covid-induced lockdown now I go for drinks virtually instead of in-person.

If you can't be kind or professional enough to have an enjoyable working relationship to have drinks with your coworkers, I don't think it's the corporation or HR department that's to blame.

Coppicing doesn't kill the tree. It's a prehistoric method of managing tree growth. It encourages growth, just as lopping the top of a hedge encourages outwards growth.

Cut the shoots back (or, off, in this case), and the stump is encouraged to grow more new shoots.

It's been going on for centuries, and is one of the best forms of woodland self sufficiency around.
