> My biggest concern is that the request will go to a google-owned server, where google can fully track me.

I'm not exactly sure what the fear here is. You're only getting to the page by clicking a link in Google Search and then your browser fetches a bundle from Google's servers.

In your ideal world you would click a link in Google Search, telling Google what you're looking at, and then connect to the site via Cloudflare, and the source site's servers telling them too?

The flip side to these is that your browser can actually act as your agent with this. If you find yourself a nice privacy-respecting CDN then your browser can try to pull from there when you click any link and you now have way less exposure.
sorry about that, but pretty soon you'll be able to play it (as I told, I'll release a package of levels for free, no gotcha)

This would have been awesome in Alaska, where we had only one option for ISP... we weren't in the boonies either. We just barely got DSL.
I doubt it would make much of a difference. Medical billing is from the service provider not wanting/able to wait for the bill and wanting payment "now" so they take a sharp haircut. The ammount they can sell it for depends upon what they can recoup on average. Sometimes it if they waited one more week the seller would have gotten 100% instead of say 35%. Other times the delinquient debt is already worth nothing as the patient turns out to be a dead homeless person - lump it into the averages and move on.

Looking at it in an abstracted way the incompetence of the end user doesn't devalue the base product beyond the loss of them as a customer in the market. That a batch became 0% recoverable because of a screw up says nothing of the collection rate of the provider any more than the fact refrigerated food rots if left unrefrigerated for 24 hours.
If he's keeping up with the fast group already, he may not care (i.e. it's not worthwhile, to him)

I'm not saying you have to spend a lot of money. I'm saying people mostly don't do the obvious performance changes anyway, and for most riders it doesn't really matter (as they aren't doing anything competitive enough to need it).
It's a lot easier to visually scan for _ than for 'this.', quicker to read code that uses _, and it's about 5 times quicker to type.
Plus, if these satellites are mass produced, then I'd expect the price to drop because they figure out ways to make them cheaper.

The best part about Mindustry is that at some point you can stop fiddling with the map and just launch with the resources you have. A playthrough for a map is a few hours tops, maybe 3-4 if you're grinding some mineral or want to try something fancy.

Factory on the other hand... I uninstalled after my first quick playtest ended with my SO waking up and wondering why I'm already awake at 8 in the morning (trick is: don't go to sleep and optimize the factory just a little bit longer).

How do governments airdrop supplies into war-torn countries today? I’ll admit I’m no expert but I see headlines all the time of neutral nations sending supplies to other countries who are fighting a war and that neutral nation isn’t getting dragged into the fight.
Disclosure: I am the author of ugrep.

Here are my 2 cents.

So what is going on with the new ugrep tool? https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep

As a small organization specializing in open source software we needed a search tool like grep but updated to handle many compression formats including tarballs, with filters to search PDF, DOCX, and other formats. And narrowing down the file type of the archive contents to source code when necessary. Why? For example to look for differences that explain bugs, for finding potential vulnerabilities in older software that is archived, and to check for open source licenses/violations.

OK. But what about performance?

At the same time, I worked on designing a new fast pattern matching method that in simple wording uses logic/hashing to detect possible matches fast, before performing a regex match that is more CPU expensive. This method is extensively tested with many configurations of parameters to find the optimal parameterization as tested on several machines. This was then compared to the best-known algorithms I could find and implemented in C (tested in memory, not on files and not reported in the ugrep project). I will gladly share this method publicly eventually in a technical paper. For a while I contemplated filing a utility patent, but did not move forward on that because I want this technology to be freely available to everyone and not proprietary. Of course, it would be nice to receive some recognition and not get ripped off. Most of the grep tools just use what is already available publicly and aren't doing something new that is clever, with the possible exception of hyperscan.

Secondly, I am glad to see that ugrep is useful to many others. In my conversations with ugrep users, performance is not their top concern but having these new features that ugrep offers that other grep lack. As long as ugrep is very fast, they are more than happy. They also suggested that ugrep should be compatible with GNU grep's options and not try to be "too clever" to skip files and directories, at least not out-of-the-box. None of the ugrep perf tests skip files or directories and includes all hidden files/directories, binary files, and compressed files.

Combining all these requirements and suggestions by users into ugrep wasn't trivial. But I believe we accomplished that goal reasonably well. Having said that, ugrep is relatively new and still evolving.

There are a lot of opinionated folks when it comes to performance. Many in my domain of expertise realized already over a decade ago that it is a folly to pursue "the best performance" when the variety of architectures is vast and hardware and software are still evolving, even when slowly. There is no set of perfect benchmarks. There are always assumptions and requirements that affect the results wildly (I am a professor in CS and spent my entire career as a researcher, including in the area of high-performance computing.)

I enjoy working now and then on deep and challenging coding projects, such as ugrep. It's a crazy fun project to work on when I have time.

Cheers!
This is government, you can't just "move it somewhere". You have to have a budget, get permitting, put out an rfq for the moving and storing of explosive materials, deal with lawsuits around the contact and the nimbys who don't want explosives stored near them. Years doesn't surprise me at all, and that's if someone was actually motivated.
Yes, surely any time the owner of a company hands their ownership to their heirs,we are all living in an oppressive monarchy.
Touring cyclist != randonneur. In any event, for tourers those handmade frames tend to be steel, and the majority of LBSs (i.e. specialist shops in a handful of countries aside) are reluctant to stock steel touring frames because they will seem too heavy and overkill to the majority of local consumers. As for leather saddles, maybe the margin on a Brooks isn't actually that high.
> The old engine compares quite favorably with Chrome

The provided links only compare API coverage, while other domains (performance, security...) are important. Even so, Firefox is clearly trailing Chrome, its main desktop competitor. It's not surprising since I've heard that the latter has much more man-power. And the gap will increase.

I've looked at CanIUse, ignoring the features which are implemented but disabled by default. Chromes lacks 5 features the Firefox has. The biggest two are MathML and VirtualReality, which were both available as experimental features in past Chrome versions but were removed for lack of interest in publishing or maintaining them.

On the other side, Firefox lacks 25-30 features that Chrome has. A few of them are minor, but most of them seem complex.

I remember a comment from you a few months ago regarding factorio and you pointed out that it was "just" an implementation of a specific variation of a cellular automata ruleset.

I enjoyed the comment but when I went back to find it in your history I discovered that you are a prolific commenter and that I was unable to find it.

Do you remember it and if so can you link to it or expand more on which cellular automata rule set it is?

I think we should encourage junior developers to be dogmatic about styling because they will want to make positive changes.

Once you get to a certain level of experience though, it should be a foregone conclusion that all code looks the same automagically.
> Most STEM work does not require that you be present on campus

I was under the impression that the reason more STEM degrees weren't online because you can't effectively replicate science or engineering labs at home very well. Most engineers (not software engineers) I've talked too said they wouldn't take an online degree very seriously.

One of the main reasons corruption is highly undesirable is because it allows the sequelae of incompetence to fester until they blow. In this case, quite literally.

Mark Z should be in a federal prison for treason.

He gave low-level access to users social media data to TCL/Alcatel that has ties to the Chinese State and was recently discovered to be behind a massive spyware operation producing malicious Android apps that further exploited American citizens to send their data back to China.

Facebook has also recently partnered with the phone manufacturers that were given out to the poor and disabled through the government funded Lifeline program that has also been found to contain unremovable rootkits that install malicious apps remotely and send user data back to China.

Mark Z is a traitor and a threat to democracy worldwide.
> there’s as much light coming off planes in the sky

If you live right outside of an international airport, maybe, but there are areas where this is not true at all. Observatories are strategically built to be far away from such light pollution. StarLink encircles the globe, and there is no way to build around it.

I started working remote 2 years ago. Last year I moved to the Greater Sacramento area. I grew up in the bay area and worked in SF tech cos for 10+ years before this, so I still have lots of friends and family in the bay. Sacramento is a great balance between moving away to somewhere with more space, less crowd, less expensive, and still being close enough to drive to see friends and family. COVID happened soon after I moved and sheltering in place here is much easier than the bay given that outdoors/parks etc. have so much less crowd.
Both of the titles you mention were the type of books that I had to put them down and started reading them again later. For different reasons though. Once the world building clicked, they really shine.
A lot of what you're saying isn't actually true here.

Light moves significantly (47%) slower through optical fiber than through space. This drastically reduces the latency of long distance connections. We're talking NY round trip to Japan in the same time it takes NY roundtrip to the UK now.

The cost of backhaul and ongoing maintenance of cables is a lot more than SpaceX launching their own satellites by an entire order of magnitude.
Unfortunately this doesn't scale to a billion idiots
Not sure why government isn't a possible solution too.
Exactly the opposite.

This is how human language works. Our brains are specifically designed to work out these ambiguities. That's why NLP is hard. It's what the "L" means.

This is why you did not have any trouble understanding the author.

Humans are also good at creative problem solving. In your case, the problem is that the article is well reasoned and hard to argue against. Semantics are always easy to argue though. So, you argue that we must use the term "sustainability" in in the way it was used back when no one used it.

I wonder why this even works. The author's usage is obviously and demonstrably correct. It is a far more common usage than yours. Homonyms exist. Somehow this nonsense makes top comment on half the threads on HN, and everywhere else... derailing actual conversations about actual stuff.

I reckon it's the same brain bug that makes reality TV popular. The conversation about nothing adjacent to the conversation about something.

I am one of the persons who initiated the process to form a works council at my company recently. It was really scary and stressful but totally worth it in the end. I encourage you to talk to unions and other people who have experience with this, as well as to other people within the company who may be interested. Management will most likely be reluctant to hostile in the beginning but if they are not complete morons there are ways to do it without burning bridges and sacrificing your job or career. It takes time so the earlier you get that ball rolling the better.

If you add annual maintenance costs, then your calculator would be something I would recommend to people who are considering purchasing a house. I've seen suggestions that the annual cost would be 1% of the total house value, but I've also seen a value for that as high as FOUR percent!

The mortgage market is very lucrative when it comes to adsense and other monetization strategies. If you could find a way to market what you've created, you could manage to generate significant passive income (a.k.a., the gift that keeps on giving).

One instance was randomly powered down about 22 hours ago.

We saw a synthetic monitor failure at midnight. Investigation of the transaction trace shows that a specific code path that should take maybe ~100ms took almost 40000ms.

It could have been unresponsive EBS. Or failure to look up the Redis server's IP address. Or some other infrastructure-level failure. The synthetic browser saw it as a 502.
Astonishing that Republicans are facilitating dismantling democracy to keep Trump in power. History will not be kind.
It's pretty hard to punch those numbers into a model and not show SpaceX making money hand over fist, but there are bears out there that have come up with some really contrived models.

At $2000 just to buy in to the system, they've cut off a huge chunk of their purported market.

Unless they plan on using unicorn accounting again, it's pretty hard to punch those numbers into a model and show SpaceX even making its money back on the first wave of satellite launches unless they dominate the rural ISP market. In order to just break even on fixed and operational costs they'd need to charge at least as much as existing rural ISPs, and if they charge significantly more they won't acquire significant market share because their are faster options available at higher pricepoints that aren't susceptible to the weather. And most of those alternatives have roughly the same buy-in costs if SpaceX actually plans on making customers pay $2000 for a base station.

And then they'd need to do it all over again in 5 years when they have to replace their satellites.

There’s no way to know how much per-user throttling is currently in place. E.g. a single connection might be limited to 0.1% of a given bird’s total throughout. There could also be artificial limits for the ground station‘s uplink.

Current belief is that each satellite can forward 20Gbps max. But I’m doubtful that a single client could ever access a significant fraction of that total.
anti-suffragists tried to make those kinds of arbitrary distinctions too. a democracy doesn't need to be narrowly defined by its workers. as a company grows, its stakeholders grow to encompass more and more of the public. so especially for large companies, that distinction is immaterial. a democracy should be composed of the affected, not just some aribirarily-defined in-group.
This is a new disease which is still early in the research cycle but I find it somewhat puzzling that in such a climate you're expecting a higher burden of proof for people urging caution than the reverse, especially given that the medical community and researchers are generally urging caution.

For example, I linked to this: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/long-term-symp...

> "I think it's an argument for why we take this disease so seriously," says Dr. Poland. "People who are thinking, especially young people: '(It's a) mild disease, you know. I might not even have any symptoms, and I'm over it.' Whoa. The data is suggesting otherwise. There's evidence of myocardial damage, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, decreased ejection fractions, pulmonary scarring and strokes.

I'd tend to think that a doctor at the Mayo Clinic who has relevant education, experience, and is actively working in the response has better instincts for whether we should be taking this seriously.
> And her job definitely is needed, regardless of how well it's being done.

If I can take a literal potato, stick it in a pot, put that pot in an expensive chair in an expensive well-lit CEO office, have the potato's PA water it every day, and at the end of the year can claim more growth and sustainability, then "how well it's being done" kind of starts to matter.

> At least, these tend to be real subjects that students are actually interested in.

I don't think that whether real students are interested in a topic is related to how well that choice of study does for them in the real world.

International relations, anthropology, women's studies, psychology, etc., are all real subjects that students are actually interested in. Some small fraction of the people who study them actually go on to do something near-related to those topics. Many (most?) others go on to work recruiters, office managers, in call centers (etc), immediately throwing away their studies and never revisiting them.

"online marketing" degrees are just part of this category, not anything special in themselves.

The trend hopefully is not just in how study happens but what people choose to study, because a lot of time and money is being wasted in things that never get used, because a lot of students have no real interests, and we teach them if they choose and go to college for anything - anything at all - then they'll magically do well. This is a lie and a disservice. We should be pushing people towards STEM and trade schools. Hopefully this situation helps do that.
