1. I was annoyed at killing reader too. However, in hindsight before we had Google reader and that was it. Now there is Feedly, Feedbin and multiple self hosted aggregators. And a plethora of RSS clients. RSS did not “die” because of lack of tech around it but because majority prefers twitter and Facebook. Had Reader stayed, would people be lamenting its dominant position?
Would be nice if there's an automatic way to have a link revert to the Wayback Machine once the original link stops working. I can't think of an easy way to do that, though.
It's not easy to get up at an embankment. Mud and a 10-20mph current of water (water's heavy) pushing you away. Unless a root of a tree to grab on to, or a really solid rock, very hard and getting into the situation best avoided at all costs.
Commercial art in general has been that way for centuries. Doesn't mean that it's intrinsically devoid of quality. Many of the classical masterpieces were made to order to cater to the fancy of some rich patron.

Well, yeah!

Of course, linking to WBM is not the main reason why a site might be in this situation but it piles up.
Considering the background surrounding Assange, I think its almost questionable to not think there is a conspiracy against him.
Gotta completely agree ... for anything you need to be stable and available.

I've been building lists of -reference- URLs for over a decade ... and the ones aimed at Archive.org (are slower to load, but) are much more reliable.

Saved Wayback URLs contain the original site URL. It's really easy to check it to see if the site has deteriorated (usually it has). If it's gotten better ... it's easy to update your saved WB link.
Measurement is not just the same as entanglement. If you try that you get paradoxes and you don't match actual observations.

If you treat a measurement as entanglement then by the Kochen-Specker theorem you can't condition on the measurement outcome. However we seem to be able to do this in actual experiments.

Thus measurement is not entanglement alone, but also the elimination of other bases.
Thanks. I saw that you posted about Gravit in the past, so I was curious. Good luck with your project.

Ok but this is clearly well past just a "wellness" device, if they are providing these features with these claims, are they going to certify it as a "Medical Device" ? Will they submit it through FDA/CE approval ?
Why Patch Management Is Important and How to Get It Right
It’s a bit more complicated than I made it look of course. My bit didn’t flip in a day and the reason why I changed my ways was also because I've worked with a few people that seemed to have figured this out already and just by observing them I could figure it out myself.

Nowadays it really depends, some people for sure get it more than others. Some just dismiss a lot of the safeguards I value as some kind of functional programming hype. Teams are hard :)

Mirroring a website isn't so hard that you need a service to do it for you. Your browser even has such a function; try ctrl-s.
Even ignoring peering, I’m still trying to picture the non blocking network. An Arista 7368X4 isn’t cheap, but will cope with 12,000 customers with appropriate switches downstream (128x100G ports with each port breaking out to 96 customers. Not sure how you’d scale beyond that without blocking.

Your peering will only scale to your (combined) interface speed regardless of your SLA. Our 2x 40G peer with level 3 serve far more than 40 1G devices (I personally have 600 in one building alone, and that sets aside the rest of the users), but it’s rare it’s more than 30% utilised.

Clearly that’s not going to be a domestic isp architecture, so a reasonable question is what does uncontended actually mean.

I very much doubt an isp with 10,000 customers has 10TB of peering physically available. Linx public peering is less than half that for the entire UK, and while private peering will likely increase that, the suggest is it’s welll under tenfold, so the 50 million plus internet users in the UK only use at peak times 1M each, and that ignores all the non-domestic use.

Even a 100:1 contention ratio seems enough at a core level, so any isp spending money on improving on 10:1 ratios seems that they are just burning cash.

Clearly as you go the the edge contention ratio needs to drop - but 40G, or maybe even 20G uplink for 48x1G users would be reasonable to me.
The Park Tool videos are phenomenal.

I particularly like the Tech Tuesday videos, partly because Calvin Jones is so fun to watch (although he's not just a pretty face [2]), but also because, for example, this is the first explanation i ever heard of how hydraulic brakes self-centre that actually makes sense:

Does Google care about Rust?
I watched an interview with him, his end goal is no code machine learning so when he is saying python isn’t the future it is because he prefers a type system that can’t be achieved with python.

I agree that users don’t care, I use Spark a lot and don’t care if I write scala, python or even c# now.

INTERNETARCHIVE.BAK:

The INTERNETARCHIVE.BAK project (also known as IA.BAK or IABAK) is a combined experiment and research project to back up the Internet Archive's data stores, utilizing zero infrastructure of the Archive itself (save for bandwidth used in download) and, along the way, gain real-world knowledge of what issues and considerations are involved with such a project. Started in April 2015, the project already has dozens of contributors and partners, and has resulted in a fairly robust environment backing up terabytes of the Archive in multiple locations around the world.

Hmm no I don't think it was him, also there was a few other dudes that did the same. The point you noted is valid though. It's tough to intervene, and in one case, a black guy pretending to operate a bike in a park, people did come to tell him to stop, although it was probably .. not morally motivated :)
But did you win the Putnam?
Yes, I agree. so imagine him here, in this ne "public Square". How do you think he would act?
I don’t think they are missing the point. These abstractions are far from perfect and trying to hunt down why something is not performing and tracing it back to how syntax is being interpreted as data is stored (GPU memory vs system memory vs sent over the pcie bus) or passed between other glue code is a source of frustration I’m sure many people have experienced.

It will take a lot for another language eco system to catch-up to something as broad and deep as python but these issues combined with the horrible experience that is dependency management with pure python vs compiled etc as well as the need for real-time/close to real-time systems, it seems very plausible that something like Julia or other llvm language will become the default over python for _these specific_ use cases, not in general though. Tooling on top of Julia can likely be far better and more easily made than living in python which is another aspect.
> what would you recommend as a universal way to store users's names?

It's unsolvable problem. Names are locale and context dependent and there is no way to translate any given name from it's canonical form (which is nonexistent) to any context you would need (except identity function obv).

So you store in-context representation(s) of name and don't transform ever. In practice that means you have one or two fields with no validation whatsoever and let user decide what to enter (while indicating what context it is!), or you apply whatever arbitrary limitation already present in system(s) you interface with. Which usually boils down do "bend over our western form standards".
Radio just works. Someone else is choosing the playlist and you kinda hear the music in between the ads and annoying hosts.

Actually most of these things are not bound to programmers. In fact, I think programmers in general are more aware of these lists.
Well, I think diluting is actually a pretty good word to describe what is happening. It's not really inflation. It's more about rising inequality. Money arrives on the stock market but it doesn't arrive in the job market. The result is an increasingly growing imbalance. Publicly traded companies and their owners greatly benefit meanwhile everyone else is being left behind.

That sounds doable and much easier than getting Americans to change their behavior.
Absolutely. Assange is facing up to 175 years in solitary confinement and could not possibly get a fair trial in the US. Moreover, He has been illegally recorded and spied upon for the past 7 years by the CIA, including conversations with his lawyer. A case can hardly get more politically motivated than this. He even received death threats from US politicians in the past. It would be ridiculous to extradite anyone under such conditions.

You can get paid more and have an easier time.

You can’t possibly know what a company you join will be like until you actually have been working there 12 months.

For large code bases you can’t really rearchitect anything. You are stuck with how it works. Maybe on small scales you can refactor.

Don’t blindly apply design patterns. SOLID is good as a thinking framework rather than a code review gate.

Marketing isn’t what you think it is until you study it somewhat. E.g. it’s not glossy ads!
That everything software and most hardware/electronics is just logic all the way down with different levels of abstraction.

This is why I love software so much and struggle with people. Software is all logic and mostly deterministic, while with people feelings are involved (which could be argued to be also deterministic but then we get into philosophic discussions about free will)

But on the software/hardware side, any bug can be resolved by digging through the layers of abstraction and figuring out where the logic error is.
Introduction to AI: It Is the Future
> If the answer is yes, where are all the local apps taking over the world with their low prices?

They're out there, but you've never heard of them because to market them to Western public you have to pay Western prices for ads, and it's out of reach for the most of 3rd world indy devs. And at the local markets it's hard to sell even at very low prices, as customers tend to be more careful with their expenses even at $1/mo prices. In poor(er) countries it's not just that people earn less proportionally while still keeping the same relative buying power. A lot of stuff that you need is not proportionally cheaper, and often it's even more expensive if it's from import or market is small, so people have less money to spend both in the total and relative terms... and because of that free/bootleg versions are the number one choice for any software. And all of that results in lowering the bar, poor overall quality of software products, as it just doesn't make much sense to invest time in polishing products too much, it will not pay out.

Perhaps the fact that 99% of users never write kernels is partial due to the fact that you need to switch languages to do so. Maybe a lot more users might want to write and modify GPU kernels if they had that as an easier option

Except, there are several languages as dynamic as Python that don't need "adapted tools", because they also offer AOT/JIT compilers in the same package.
Personally, i grew up cycling, learned a lot from my dad, and have learned a lot from trial and error (mostly the latter) over a couple of decades. Continuing education comes from the Park Tool Videos, bicycles.stackexchange.com, and reading threads on random forums started by people with the same problem as me.

I suspect an organised person could learn much more efficiently than this.

One pitfall to watch out for is that in cycling, everyone has their opinions, which they will proclaim as absolute truth. If you're just following one person, it can be hard to distinguish universally agreed common sense from opinion.
The Chinese government would of course deny this for as long as it could in the face of almost any future evidence, but the idea is at least possible.

I remember discovering QBasic as a kid and being totally absorbed in it. I couldn't understand what an array was, so that halted my progress.

I rediscovered it as a teenager in highschool and wound up making a basic platform game with a mess of shitty spaghetti code goto statements and drawing lines on the screen. It was great. My dad wanted to encourage me but didn't know how, so he got me a C++ book from the library but it just made no sense and I couldn't get anywhere.

Fast forward to being 23 and deciding what to major in at University. I rediscovered the idea of programming and instantly fell back in love with it. I remember blowing through the entire first semester textbook in 2 weeks and really getting it. It felt like a super power had finally been unlocked. Still does.

I was so glad to reconnect with programming. I always feel I would have been an absolute whizz kid by now if I had really picked it up when I was a teenager and part of me is a little sad about that.

If someone is given the freedom to think and apply it can be amazing. Most companies don’t support this though. This was my experience early on in my career - hardly anyone wants to let coders think, instead it’s about fitting in to the processes. Not saying I’m that clever just common sense stuff.

> Why is a displaying 32 bits, rather than 16, per rune actually a useful idea?

To be clear: base-32 systems (including Base32H) use 5 bits per rune, which means...

> A 32 or 64 bit truncation is just as valid, and using a range of 1, 16, 256, 4096, or 65536 buckets (zero to four letters) seems to be just as valid.

...base-32 systems would naturally produce 1, 32, 1024, 32768, or 33554432 buckets for that same range of letter counts. Base-64 systems would produce even better numbers of buckets within that range of letter counts, but (as outlined in the "Comparisons" page) it comes at the expense of case-sensitivity.
Realistically carbon removal will only happen after we removed most carbon emission sources. Carbon removal will likely be more expensive than reducing emissions for decades to come. This is a future technology for the time, for the "fuck, we already produced far too much emissions, what do we do now?"

My aha moment was that it is 100x better to focus on one project and make it the absolutely very best instead of trying 10 things.

With these new and easy frameworks it's incredibly easy and quick to create new projects but creating and launching something is just the tip of the iceberg.

The main work comes after that, i.e. traffic, leads, conversions, optimization, etc which unfortunately can only be done with good old tedious hardwork and laser focus.

There's no work QM is saving: it doesn't delay work or get to do less until when you physically look at something and then get to skip work for things you don't look at.
* Things that are in superposition would require more computation for all their many alternate versions (most of which aren't meaningfully interacted with), not less, and the extra work for managing superpositions continues forever if MWI is right. All particles are constantly entering new superpositions, not just individual particles in fancy lab experiments. Only the very simplest of particle interactions (like two individual hydrogen atoms interacting) are feasible to simulate with full quantum mechanics on classical computers.
* "Observation" happens through any physical interaction at all, including particle collisions. Outside of some individual particles inside carefully controlled experiments, most particles end up transitively interacting with most other particles near them.

If the universe was at all optimized for simulation costs for human experience, we probably wouldn't expect there to be be trillions of galaxies with hundreds of millions of stars each, for the smallest particles to be on the scale of billion-billionths compared to humans, or for QM to work anything like it does.

I wish there were a way to get a low-rez copy of their entire archive. So, only text, no images, binaries, PDFs (other than PDFs converted to text which they seem to do). As it stands the archive is so huge, the barrier to mirroring is high.
They use it on ChromeOS, Fuchsia, are thinking of introducing it on Android, and driving the conversations of using Linux kernel modules written in Rust.
