I've implemented CHAMP [0] for Peergos in the IPLD/IPFS setting, largely based on the Steindorfer paper. There is one improvement that whyrusleeping from ipfs came up with which is to allow a small number of hash collisions in a level, before pushing things down a level.

If I had to write a letter to myself 20 years ago, it would be:

- People are evil and getting more evil. Don't trust anyone. The governments of the world are corrupt and will become more corrupt. Forget about principles and ethics.

- Invest in the hype. Those who control the money supply are twisted fucks. Don't save money, don't look for value investments, don't look for logic or reason. Do the opposite of everything you were taught. Be reckless. Follow the trends. Don't think; just do what everyone else is doing as soon as it starts to look trendy. Don't look at the underlying tech or fundamentals; the worse the fundamentals, the less efficient, the better the investment!

- Corporations are going to get bigger because the government will help them to establish and expand their monopolies and this will make it impossible to start a small business since it will compete with the interests of corporations. The playing field is not even so don't play that fucking game; they get free money from the government, you don't; they play a different game. The majority of people with power will support corporate monopolies no matter how harmful they are, so nobody will even speak up, you'll be fucked.

- Don't start working on open source. Even if your open source project becomes popular, corporations will use your open source work to make the world a worse place and everyone will make money from your work except you. What kind of fucking world do you think this is?

- Playing by the rules and doing the right thing is for idiots! So far you've been a fucking idiot!

- Be an asshole! Everyone else around you will be an even worse piece of shit so you won't even feel bad about it! It will feel normal. Your successful asshole friends will even think you're a nice guy and they will praise you for your comparatively superior ethics (trust me, the worst stuff that you're capable of doing is not that bad).

- If you think that this sounds 'not worth it', you don't want to know what happens if you continue down the righteous path that you're currently on. Trust me, as your future self who always tried to do the right thing, choose the asshole path.

Global need for copper is pitting clean energy against the wilderness
I'm disagreeing with this statement while liking the general direction and content of it!

"There was only so much I could do to improve my coding skills. Most blogs epousing techniques to write cleaner code, repeating yourself, not repeating yourself, etc. are micro-optimisations. Almost none of them would make me instantly impactful."

I do expect a Senior Software Engineer to be good in programming. Because mastering programming is, what you do due working with it every day. The basics should just be.

Doesn't matter how impactful those are. Your role is to sure look left and right, but the road you are on is becoming an expert in what you are doing.

And generally speaking about the Senior title: I think from reading it, he does look in the right directions and it could be that he is already there but for me, Seniority become a thing not after understanding all of that stuff but actually incorporating it in a way that it became second nature and honestly, it took me years and a handful of core experiences along the way. But who am i to determine his seniority through a blog? :)
Interesting / weird concept. I'm cynical that it'll take off (ha) as a concept for passengers, given that they'll either be sitting at an angle (in relation to the flying direction), or they'll have to tilt all the seats making the internal seating arrangement weird and ineffective. But counter-intuitively, it looks like a simpler design for planes compared to those with wings.

Great recommendations! For another perspective, I'd add O'Reilly's "Continuous API Management" with some chapters around designing APIs as products and suggestions around how to implement a lifecycle.
Also, strictly for design I'd also do what was suggested here and check API design guidelines from several sources. I like the Adidas one.
I am still pro legalization, even though I fully agree with you on the dangers of wrong presentation.

But I believe this is part of the criminalisation and demonisation. From the official channels, like media and school drug prevention(in germany), it was mostly a simple "don't do it" "it is all bad".
While the cool, a few years older nutheads presented it as magic.

If it would be legal, people could talk about it more openly and share their experience freely to the younger generation and we could help the addicts more easily, if it would not be so stigmatized, like it is now.

In my area there is a great usage of amphetamines (with the root source of bad economy, though), but if those people look for official help, they have to fear of their children being taken away, etc.
Neither article addresses the flaw that always comes up when this design is proposed: By placing the passengers in the wings instead of the the middle, the would be exposed to much stronger turbulence (probably at a level unbearable for the general public).
Funny enough, "nomenclatura" in Spanish means the act/state/art of naming things. Such as Biology on new species. or Chemistry rules on new compounds.

I spent the last 8 months learning Elixir, Ecto & Phoenix etc... I am about to leave it and spend more time in C# as I really miss static typing, I also miss the way the documentation is written, the amount of material to read on .net and C#. The library, community and packages are richer for a start. Will be interesting to see if I miss Elixir at all.
The problem with that is that you still bring yourself with you. ...all the guilt, the addiction, the wasted years, the mental illness, the anger issues. Most people would end up back where they started.

Tesla Model 3 – Explaining the Cult [video]
“The team takes care of their health insurance.”

They better do. Professional cycling is a dangerous sport. This year, stage 1 saw a crash of 30-ish riders that broke a rider’s kneecap (he finished the stage, but didn’t start for stage 2), the thigh bone of another (happened so close to the finish line that he would be allowed to start stage 2, but he didn’t), broke a few ribs of and gave a pulmonary contusion to a third rider (he is still in the race, and hopes to contribute to his team’s success in the later stages), gave a fourth one an elbow injury (he hit a spectator taking a photograph. He tried staying in the race for about a week, but eventually retired)

There also already were a few broken collarbones in week 1. Add in a zillion abrasions.

We're basically in the middle of an long epidemic of mental illness in the West. Suicide is the leading cause of death in some age\sex groups.

Existing drugs are low efficacy even in ideal cases, and even lower when you look at how they're used in the real world. Then you have to try and factor in side effects.

These are the factors I think drive this decision.

It's worth noting as well that whether and how severe the various drugs under consideration actually cause the poor outcomes you list remains a matter of debate. Maybe they don't, maybe they do and it's worse than the current worst case prediction. We won't know until exactly these studies are completed...

Full disclosure, I have had severe depression long term though I've been doing a lot better for the last 5 years or so.

You are generalizing the argument giving conditions where life is worth it or not. That's not the point. And stop downvoting.
You nailed it, but, “illegal orders” actually called “unlawful orders”.
Soldiers and Sailors are only required to follow “lawful orders” not “moral orders”. The Patriot Act is The Law. Any person who is a conscientious objector to The Patriot Act would/should loose their job and clearance.
The Edward Snowden case is simple: he betrayed the trust of all Americans when he broke his oath, and he deserves justice.
There are proper checks and balances, and laws, that govern how constitutional violations should be reported and handled. Edward Snowden ignored all of these chose vigilanteism over the rule of law.
He is no patriot.
I see this is by David Graeber who recently died. My respects to him, his family and his work.

However I disagree with the article. I am also someone who has been on the receiving end of bullying and (rarely) on the dispensing end, but I feel that the premise of this article is wrong. The reason why people did not care about the highway of death is because 1) it happened a long way away 2) people like us, from our side, did it 3) very few popular faces said it was wrong and 4) it happened to people we don't care about very much. These views can be summed up as parochialism, and they are usually the reason that we allow evil to be perpetrated against the innocent.

It's also the reason we allow the poor of the world to starve (c.f. Living High and Letting Die, Peter Unger) which I don't feel can be construed as bullying. A similar example is the behavior of the allies immediately after the second world war, who apparently did little to acknowledge the Holocaust.

My view differs from David's in that I don't think we seek to justify bullies because we think they are better than their victims - I think we seek to justify bullies because we don't care very much about other people, due to lack of time and energy. I find it difficult to parse his whole argument but David appears to be suggesting that it is much more complicated and to do with our participation in bullying and our institutions. Fair dos, but I feel my explanation is simpler and better.

FWIW, the soft limit for 70 units is about using the global module, which provides consistent state in the cluster (i.e. when you do a change, it tries to change all nodes at once).

The default Erlang Distribution was shown to scale up to ~300 nodes. After that, using sub-clusters is the way to go and relatively easy to setup: it is a matter of setting the "-connect_all false" flag and calling Node.connect/2 based on the data being fed by a service discovery tool (etcd, k8s, aws config, etc).

PS: this data came from a paper. I am struggling to find it right now but I will edit this once/if I do.
Nowhere is it claimed to be a new invention. On that page itself there's only two or three that were aimed at passengers, none of which ended up commercially viable.

But it also has (or links to) reasons why it's not been developed further for passengers; to quote:

"Passengers are unwilling to sit in windowless environments." - not an issue with this particular design

"Passengers furthest from centerline will be subject to potential discomfort during wing roll. Extreme discomfort results in motion sickness." - Definitely an issue I think.

(on the X-48): "[...] passengers did not like the theater-like configuration of the mock-up; the design was dropped for passenger airliners" - Also not really an issue due to the dual-fuselage design of this one.
I'm curious of the result. Jornet will do extremely well for sure, but probably far from the best in the discipline. Kind of what happened in the Mayweather/McGregor boxing match.
You might not understand it, but the term is well understood in the gaming community. Just like Metroidvania, the genre description has evolved from previous games.

Another common genre is Souls-like, stemming from the mechanics of Dark Souls. It's a term for a game that has bonfire like mechanics, high difficulty, punishments on death, etc. There are many games that are souls likes that share none of the visual themes or moment to moment combat mechanics of Dark Souls.

And as several other people have commented, the games are similar to rogue, just at a higher level of abstraction than you are looking at them.

I guess the first question you want to answer, is to define which kind of company you want to build ?

As a founder, as you say, you want to optimize the impact of your company.
I am not sure what you mean by traditional companies, but startups are not about maximizing profit. At least not in the short term.

VCs are looking at maximizing their returns on investement when the company exits, not based on dividends.

If you don't want create a startup, but what I would call a traditional company, ie not looking for hypergrowth, but that your company is profitable, then lots of people are probably willing to invest in it.
> Apart from being contrarian, they are often mean spirited or adversarial. For instance, in the first one he calls those he’s criticizing fools, the second he’s trying to access how uninteresting a person and the third and fourth ones he makes a rather rude comparison of wage employment to slavery. The fifth one is classic [X] is [A], [Y] is [!A], another popular Taleb pattern.

I've noticed this as well. His other rhetorical pattern is to purposefully misrepresent a group of people as having a particular set of stupid ideas and then shit on them for believing it. It's an effective trick, because the ideas are dumb, so the reader instantly feels like they're smarter than the targeted group too, and thus feel like they're in the cool kids camp with Taleb.

So turns out I discovered Paul Graham in 2005 via his "Great Hackers" talk, started following his essays, then discovered Reddit from that, and then Hacker News from that.

My HN profile says I created the account in Aug 10, 2007. But I remember lurking for a while, so I must have started using it a few months prior to that.

Seems like a lifetime ago.

> No, racists that are upset that it's not socially acceptable to demonstrate their racism this way conplain about this a lot, you aren't the only one.

Just because racists use certain rights, doesn't mean that the rest needs to give up on those rights.

The laws of free speech, incitement etc. are pretty clear. Offending people is not against the law, discrimination is. And using certain words is definitely not against the law.

But now there seems to be a new law, where you get punished by using something that sounds like "a vile racial slur". It is just very stupid. Which word did they actually use? Sorry, nobody is allowed to answer that, except for "a vile racial slur".

There is definitely racism in US, maybe even more so than in EU. But these kind of actions bring zero to the cause of getting rid of it.

Maybe something needs to be done about discrimination and racism, and not so much about offending people.
> Being able to download a brd file straight from the manufacturer, along with a list of probe points and Mouser links for ICs would surely make it much easier.

Don’t you think you’re asking for a bit much here? You’re asking for board layout in an easily digestible and copyable format. This is most definitely IP for the company and they should just give it away? This would be detrimental to the industry. Apple makes laptop, releases schematic, cheap chinese clones would be available within a few hours. I get that people want to repair their stuff, there’s nothing wrong with that, but when the path forward requires dismantling the entire IP protection system do we really want to push forward so Johnny Brokenwatch doesn’t have to buy a new Apple Watch?

Pasco's sheriff uses data to guess who will commit crime
Yes, you can, but even then, you can’t be 100.000% certain that that code will get executed. Google, your phone manufacturer, big brother, etc. _could_ detect that you’re running Foo and do Bar instead. Most people shouldn’t worry about that, though. I would be more worried about ‘them’ listening to what you do than about ‘them’ changing what you do (and if they want to, ‘they’ likely can do that easier outside your app or even outside your phone than on it)

As to iOS, if you can get the source, you can build and install apps yourself on iOS, too, with the disadvantage that you will have to reinstall the app every x days (executables signed for debugging have an expiry date), with ‘x’ relatively short (a few weeks, IIRC)
Maybe you could expand on your point, because it's not so clear to be that calling the US militaristic is incorrect.
> In hindsight, the right call here would be to write the documentation at the end, when the API had stabilized.

This is unrealistic and will set you up for failure in multiple ways. For starters, no project beyond weekend lullabies will see a point where the spec is final. You may bump your API version from v1 to v2 and v3, but at the end of the day, there isn't going to be one big "now we're done" moment.

Even if there was, how do you expect 1) someone to consume endpoints until then and 2) document the endpoints once that moment of reckoning arrives? No API lives in isolation. Even if you're building a simple CRUD application, you will have other parts of your application that will need to interface with your endpoints. Without documentation, that's not going to happen without incredible friction and waste of resources.

Even if you somehow dig through the integration issue, documenting things after the fact is not realistic. When you write code, you know what it does and how to use it. Not so much if you come back to it a month, a year, or possibly many years from now. Documentation is there to cover both the basic use as well as any nuances your API may involve. You're going to lose all of the latter and most of the former if you separate writing the endpoint from documenting it.
As an armchair engineer, I wonder about engine behavior at high angle of attack. It looks like it could be difficult to feed the engines enough air to maintain thrust.

I hope they work out all the details, because improved efficiency is a big deal. Although I also prefer the older Boeing blended wing body since it seemed to offer great efficiencies and immense interior space.

As I recall, one of the factors in abandoning the idea for passenger planes was the assumed reluctance of people to sit in a flying room (where they can't see out and could be more disoriented or uncomfortable).
