Java servlets were likely inspired by FastCGI, and WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface, Python) is known to be inspired by both, so I doubt that's true. There were just more convenient solutions than having to write the IPC part yourself.
There are some utilities around creating and validating HLS streams that would be useful to run on non-MacOS cloud machines.

I haven't checked, though I'm fairly sure the license says you're lot allowed to, though.
Bullshit is of obvious benefit to the bullshitter.
Thanks for the medium article. It was an incredibly insightful read that summarized a lot of researching on teaching and student outcomes.
I'm not sure what's more nauseating: the fact that we're willing to destroy the best schools in the country to improve poorly defined diversity metrics or the author's sheer horror that white people may benefit from the school's proposed diversity initiative.

That being said, the proposed change is one of the better ones I've seen as far as diversity initiatives go. The students are sampled at random with equal probability from a subpopulation that meets a minimum threshold required to succeed in the school (3.5 GPA but this can be tuned to whatever number/metric is more appropriate, even maybe a test score). The group selected here is likely to be far more diverse (across measured and latent categories) than it would be by simply discriminating based on basis of race as the author recommends.
> F-1 has always baffled me as a sport. Not that it's inherently bad or boring, just that there are so many motor sports that make it look that way. Same with NASCAR. I don't understand how an audience for those exists when, for example, rally races exist.

I expect the answer to that involves how well (or how poorly) rallying is televised.
> The "Mario Kart" style boosts serve a functional strategic purpose that is similar to the strategic elements involved in pitting in F1.

Except for Fan Boost, every FE fan agrees that shit needs to go.
Your post is a literal summary of why the attitude and performance of software engineers in other countries is so utterly subpar. Having spent a lot of time in Australia, I found the work ethic and culture of the office-bound workers there to be completely unacceptable by American standards.

You wouldn’t understand American standards because you don’t understand the difference in work intensity and performance. There’s a reason all of the good workers still head to California.
What I don’t like about WSL is that I spend most of my time in the shell doing stuff and interacting with the OS.

But WSL isn’t the OS. It’s still a Linux virtual machine running on top of Windows.

Now, there’s ways to interact with Windows from WSL and vice versa but they’re not fast nor efficient.

I just wanted to warn others thinks about making this jump. If you spend a lot of time in shell interacting with the OS, it’s probably not going to work like you think it will.

Don’t make any big financial bets until you’ve played around with it awhile.
> selective enforcement

Living in America, this is all too often a problem. One segment of society says “there should be a law” often enough that we have more laws on the books in the federal space alone than the GAO can count. Now we add on state and municipal laws and we’re probably all guilty of something each day. Not having enough resources to enforce all of the laws we get the situation you describe exactly - selective enforcement and too often an unjust distribution of enforcement.

Add to that the fact that all laws are ultimately enforced with physical force and we get situations like Eric Garner - a situation instigated by the enforcement of a stupid municipal law - selling untaxed cigarettes. A state interest hardly worth exposing someone to a beatdown or in Eric’s inexcusable case, death.
It took me one year to write a prototype of Proxyman [0] as well as validate the idea in my spare time. Basically, it's a native Web Proxy Debugging for macOS that facilitate developers to capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic from their iOS or Android devices.

I would say that it's really difficult. For the first year, it made less than 1k/month, which was not sustainable, so I had to stick with my remote fulltime job at Toggl.com. Spend 4 hours per day at night and entire weekend days to implement the app. And now, after 2 years, I quit my job and dedicate myself to Proxyman. Aiming to ship iOS build and move to Window. It's still a long journey I guess.

Your comment got me interested in FCPS income distribution, which is indeed skewed high (although I couldn't find $140k median [1]). If you're in the 20th percentile at $54k, or even the 40th at $94k, you have significantly less available after the many living expenses that don't scale with income.

With that said, I recognize that household expenditure on education is going to play a role in preparedness for an advanced curriculum. But I think expecting folks to shoulder an early test prep burden (with uncertain result) is directionally un-meritocratic. For me it raises the evidence necessary that the test is playing an otherwise useful role. What's the best argument you've seen there?

Quite. Most innovation over the history of F1 has come from the lower-funded teams (Brabham, Lotus, Williams), and is quickly banned if Ferrari or Maclaren can't make it work. Ferrari and the other well-funded teams have the money to eke out ever-diminishing returns; Lotus and Williams have to rely on "making turbos work", "ground effects", or "introducing aero", or "dynamic suspension", not to mention strangled-in-the-crib tech such as CVT or fan-assisted aero.
Who said anything about global? Each “cell” (elementary particle? string?) in the automata could be responsible for its own update function, based on its own clock ticking along at its own plank time.
I deployed it a few hours ago so sorry no haha but yea it is almost entirely peer to peer so it should. I don't really have any kind of analytics in place anyways.
I noticed the same thing. I believe HN has some way to demote posts - not sure if it's based on reports, manual moderation, or something else - which often happens to politics / non-tech / controversial posts.
Yeah, this is fancy.
But is it really possible to establish such a system that ensure correctness, innovation and public trust, and so on? It seems like to me that science is already an impossible endeavor from the beginning. This kind of thinking reminds me of scientific anarchism championed by Paul Feyerabend, like "Anything Goes". He strongly criticized the corporate thinking in the scientific community, but what else we can do? Maximizing the (ultimately) monetary benefit and its efficiency is the only way we can run any business, and everything else looks fishy to most people (including myself).
The article doesn't say anything about usage shooting up after the change. To me it sounds equally plausible that this was a publicity move to get people curious about this "better than a beauty camera" feature and just use that as an opportunity to get the face-pay feature into the news.

Anti-poaching agreements are bad, but they aren't nearly as bad as non-competes. Anti-poaching agreements mean one company won't cold contact employees at another. But employees who want to switch of their own initiative are still able to do so. Non-competes blocks even employees who want to switch of their own initiative.
I'm playing with it on my Librem 5 sometimes out of curiosity. I didn't expect much, but some apps actually work really well (Element, Conversations, Android builds of my Allegro games etc.). Even tried Among Us which is a Unity game and it's... kinda playable (there is a problem with some shaders making it hard to play, but it all works otherwise - haven't debugged it yet though).
Couldnt one just use ice in a pond as a basis for a beginning perfectly flat surface? Then perhaps use clay or something similar poured onto it to create an initial flat surface and build up harder materials from there?
There is nothing preventing bad content atm, and I may look into this, but with it being largely client side (peer to peer) I have a feeling that will be tricky and obviously anyone knowing what they are doing could get around the safeguards.

There is no chat functionality but yea that is very high on my list of todos.

Not sure, I have never come across anything like that but I feel like its something people would like, especially considering most people have been locked in doors more often than usual lately.
At least in economics

1) simply solving an equation is not enough, you have to understand the dynamics, how changes in parameters change the solution

2) some models simply don’t have solutions that are straightforward to calculate
Anyone have any idea how much the the video ads that play on the web version pay per view?
It's generally something like:

1. Configure webserver (apache, lighttpd, etc) to forward certain routes to a particular unix socket (i.e. `/tmp/fcgi.sock`)

2. Create and launch a C/C++ process that links in libfcgi.so (or similar) and has an event loop reading from the same socket (i.e. `/tmp/fcgi.sock`)

After that the webserver will forward incoming requests that match to the C/C++ process over socket.
FastAPI – high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
In my experience, the "Software is Eating the World" thesis is looking largely correct. The number of software developers at modern non-tech companies can be surprising.

Even in my limited experience, I have seen big, well-funded software teams in companies doing retail, manufacturing, transportation, shipping, food service, etc. Those developers do not typically make SV wages (and generally have better work-life balance), but they do frequently earn comparably to lawyers in their cities.

An example in the insurance industry from Dallas, a city not known for being a tech hub: https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/417604/mid-senior-level-net-d...

Or telecom in Atlanta: https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/392595/senior-software-engine...

It might be fair to say these industries have more leverage in the US because they can serve a bigger market. But it's not all about the types of products they make, there are definitely bigger issues that drive the comp differential. I would love to learn more.
FastCGI doesn't set environment variables. Only CGI does that since the CGI binary is executed for each request. FastCGI binaries run as a server listening on a unix/tcp socket for connections from the frontend web server. It works the like a webapp listening for http requests on a local socket with reverse http proxy rules setup on the frontend web server.
That would be nice if you could also elect to give your fed monies to the local gov’t. That way the different governments could compete for the provision of good government.
Depends on the level of accuracy you want. There will be imperfections in the surface from the castings derived from the ice based flat surface.

This method can take you to much more flat surfaces from first principles. Also there will be imperfections in the ice based surface itself too.

Because you could also just pour molten metal into a mold and let it cool to get an initial "flat surface" but there are limits to that.
I haven't owned an android phone that didn't have a manual white balance function in the stock app.
The limit was on TFLOPs, so you don't get to compute more just by using better hardware.
Sure thing:

Orient, Jane M. Sapira's Art & Science of Bedside Diagnosis 5th Ed. Chapter 1: The Art of Clinical Examination. P5.

"My original reflex hammer from medical school was simply a round rubber ball about the diameter of a nickel, mounted on a handle. This illustrates the point that any hammer is satisfactory if the examiner knows where to strike the tendon. I have even used the diaphragm of a Sprague stethoscope, and a former resident, a Vanderbuilt graduate, used her knuckle. Some physicians use the tips of their fingers, a tool that is always available."

I don't think a citation is really necessary in this case. You're tapping a tendon. That's all. You don't need special equipment. I wouldn't make the same argument for a stethoscope.

But if you want, Sapira is a really fun textbook. It's even a fun read for a layperson.
The Union of States made that mistake too in 1781.
> The IAU definition is absurd given the current search for exoplanets, because we will be able to detect planemos orbiting other stars long before we have any hope of being able to tell whether they've cleared their orbits.

The IAU definition of “planet” explicitly applies only to the solar system, and the only definition even attempted for exoplanets IIRC is to try to define a dividing line between them and brown dwarfs, effectively “exoplanets” are extrasolar planemos.

> It would be much more practical - that is, useful for actually communicating empirical information - to define a planet as a planemo, Luna, Ceres and Eris included.

I don't see how that follows, since having cleared an orbit is addition empirical information, and information that we are able to develop on solar system objects, if not extrasolar ones, in reasonable time. As is, e.g., whether or not an object is a natural satellite of something orbitting the sun or does so itself.
So once? Or twice (counting the USian revolution)? There have to be more examples than that!

I'd love to know the answer to your question too. I initially learned of this method while reading through Wayne Moore's "Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy" which was written in 1970 afaik.
You briefly grasp the answer in your post: skill

>In Australia, a skilled electrician can earn the same salary as a software developer

What about the unskilled electrician? Are they paid the same as the skilled one?
The Holo project is a bridge between the centralized Web world, and the decentralized Holochain App world.

Therefore, it will always have some aspects of centralization: real Fiat money exchange, DNS, CDNs, etc.

If you want fully decentralized, you can build and deploy a straight Holochain app, which requires no centralized services at all, and is hosted totally on the hardware and networking of the users of the App.
> The golden days of auto racing involved real innovation like creating super chargers, turbos, certain efficiencies, and improvements in potting, etc.

More importantly there's a huge disconnect in many formulae and the general industry on innovation outside the powertrain: driver assists are mostly banned, for example. So I can buy a mid-range, decade-old car with dynamic suspension and stability control, but you'll not see that in pretty much any track car.

Evil is ironically done with the best of intentions.

For the record - the federal bailout helped many business owners I know personally keep people on the payroll, and many unemployed friends (from food service and travel industry) able to keep paying their rent. With COVID’s 99% survivability rate for most of the working population, I think those benefits took priority over a healthcare stipend. Not trashing the idea of fixing healthcare at all, but given a limited bag of cash and choices to make, keeping people housed and fed en masse is arguably higher on the priority list than a healthcare half measure (if that).
more importantly, you can't buy better healthcare, education, or legal support with more money

That's Harrison Bergeron territory. Sorry, you can't go on a vacation to France because your kids might learn something.
You can have high labor mobility and high job stability by reducing supply of labor and/or increasing the demand for it.
That's pretty good sign!

These kinds of open source emulators or similar stuff usually driven by individuals and often have risk of being unmaintained. But this project is used by larger companies like Canonical so we can expect better support.
Of course, 20 years ago there were no smartphone platforms at all, no social networks, Internet Explorer was the dominant browser, Google was an upstart competing with search "portals" like Yahoo, a 3dfx Voodoo card was the hot thing to have, Apple was nearly dead, and Amazon was a place to buy books and CDs.

At the time people thought Microsoft was so dominant that most of the innovations of the past 20 years could not have happened, because Microsoft was a behemoth that would simply take over any competitors. But they lost on search, phones, browsers, etc.

I don't really see how it's different this time around. There is currently no company as dominant over the entire industry as Microsoft was in 2000, or as dominant as IBM was in 1980.

Two standard deviations above the mean is too low a bar, not really TJ material.
I have a theory that F1 is motorsport for people with no interest in motorsport. You can't possibly watch it for the racing, in a series where 90 minute races routinely end with over 25 seconds between each podium car. Where the fanbase fanatically opposes things like simplified powertrains, simplified aero and control parts, which would all result in far better, closer racing but would (in their minds) erode the prestige of the prototype series. Personally I think prestige comes from winning hard-fought races, not driving a Mercedes to yet another cruising victory.

It boggles my mind that people bother, when there are such incredibly close series like MotoGP, GT World Challenge [Europe|Asia|America], V8 Supercars, etc... The only explanation is that the fans simply don't care about the racing itself.
> The founders would have all been stuck at Fairchild.

The founders of Fairchild would all have been stuck at Shockley.
I agree with your overall point but you did not pick particularly confusing examples. Representatives form a Congress only in their specific legal capacity, and if a Sheriff meets with people from a crime scene they would likely be referred to as victims and witnesses, rather than a Posse.

The startup should have taken the aquihire, because if their key engineers were interested in working for Apple their position was very weak: either take the money or Apple hires the engineers anyway. They aren't indentured servants.

Demystifying Docker- a tutorial on why we use it
I’m not making a normative point about what we should do. I’m describing what’s happening. Econ 101 also tells us that failing to internalize an externality will result in more than an efficient amount of that thing being used, because it’s artificially cheap. So if I were to comment on it, I would support internalizing that cost up front.

Rhetoric about “but profits!” is good for creating narratives and selling newspapers. But it’s not good at actually helping fix the problem. The oil & gas industry has a 5.6% profit margin. Profit is not a relevant discussion when it comes to the oil and gas industry.

Also, insofar as there aren’t good alternatives to oil, oil companies might make even more money if you force them to pay the cost of capping wells ip front. That increases their up-front investment which means they’ll demand a higher return on the backend. The problem is that presidential approval ratings closely track gas prices at the pump, and politicians won’t do anything that will cause gas prices to go up.

This is entirely a decision for consumers to make. Do we want to pay more at the pump know, or pay more in the cost of capping wells 20 years from now?

Companies in Europe are much more reluctant to hire precisely because it is so much harder to fire. When I lived in the US, and got offers, the company’s first question would be: what’s the earliest you can start? In Europe my experience has been long processes that are dragged out unnecessarily.

Hiring is riskier, and therefore slower. There are 2 sides to it of course, on one hand employees are much more protected from losing their jobs, but on the other one innovation and fast access to jobs is also slower.

Also, it is not only about firing. Hiring is also slower because of all the paperwork that needs to happen. For example, in Spain you cannot just hire someone. You need to draft out a contract, cover every possible detail related to the work that the person will be doing, etc. it is just slower in general.

This brings me back to my min point though: employment at will.

Facebook, Google and Twitter CEOs to Testify Before Congress Oct. 28
The wage paid to programmers is a function of supply and demand just like everything else in the market.

Investment bankers and programmers earn more than your typical American because the supply of bankers and top-level programmers is much tighter. Goldman Sachs and KKR hire from Wharton or HBS, and Google hires grads from CMU or Stanford. Whether they should or shouldn’t restrict their hiring practices is another matter, but their insistence on hiring only the “elite” causes salaries in those fields to skyrocket.

Welders and electricians make more money than say a landscaper because you need more training, certifications, exams, and experience to do the job, greatly reducing the pool of available labor.

If you want programmers to get paid less, make it easier to become a programmer and get Google to hire more broadly.

That’s perhaps why bootcamps and code camps are looked down upon by existing programmers — not just the belief in the superiority of a traditional 4 year computer science education (whether founded or not), but also a realization that if these things catch on they might be paying us all less in the future.
