> Having bad programming gets you a lot of programming

This is true. I'll add that machine learning is arguably the computer doing a lot of bad programming.
If by “fun” you mean think-your-heart-is-about-to-literally-explode and lie down in fear for 8 hours.

At NASA, sure. You can't say that with any certainty for all the other systems in the world where software has a huge impact on daily life and human wellbeing. We can't know for sure because there is no regulation or independent monitoring.
Grandma also pays her registrar and ICANN for the domain every year too. Free was never the price of having a website, and it's not a reasonable standard of expectation today. As is with literally anything else that needs maintenance, if you can't maintain it yourself, you have to pay someone else to maintain it.
Sure, I can create a self-signed certificate and copy it to my docker container and update the app’s config to use it and add it to the system’s certificate store and then add it to every browser’s certificate store every time I need to run something over QUIC locally. And sure, maybe one day there will be a tool that can do a that automatically.

But like... why?
This looks really neat, but I've only felt the need for such a tool with tensorflow. With pytorch and numpy you can just use ipdb or any other debugger to be parachuted right at the exception and inspect shape and value of all the variables you need.
After my opinion around 4% performance improvement doesn't justify the introduction of this more complicated protocol (maybe google knows how this benefit their ad business, like forcing everyody to https so they can increase their control over the internet, since their scripts are already included by the majority of the websites, reporting them all the important metrics, regardless of HTTPS)
No, I don't because I'm not an expert in those fields. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that they can't understand the subject matter or that they need to be experts in it, I'm just curious about how much technical detail is communicated and how.
I'm much more experienced with Ruby and Python than PHP. I did something simple in PHP in the past simply because I didn't even know I could do something else.

But maybe PHP is indeed the right choice. Right now I am kinda considering Ruby with CGI.
True, but you have to do it one at a time to look at the variables. Also, the exception message doesn't tell you which operator among several is the issue. This just makes it easier. :)
That was the case with HTTP2 as well though. The client can negotiate with the server about supported protocols but if a client only spoke HTTP1.1 and the server only spoke HTTP2 they simply couldn't talk. It's just that basically no servers were HTTP2 only.
Why use Bitcoin? Metamask is far more used than any Bitcoin wallets, so if all you want to do is have users sign transactions, Metamask/Ethereum is the way to go.

Frankly it baffles me how people can go through life wasting away most of their prime waking hours on a job they don't love.

Maybe I'm privileged to have had this option, but I've always avoided better paying jobs that didn't feel good to go for the ones that I enjoy every single day.

Meanwhile I see mates slog through their weeks, burning themselves out on neverending meaningless work, which pays well but basically means they are living mostly for the weekend. How did accepting that as the norm sneak into our culture?
> In GNU Smalltalk you don't need to load an image (i.e. persisted Object Memory state) to do anything reasonable.

True but the first thing the VM does if it does not give an image is create empty classes and load files that define those classes. Only then does it do whatever it was asked to do, so the ObjectMemory was not loaded from a persisted state but is effectively indistinguishable from one.

Once the image exists, the main difference between the GST file-based approach and the traditional Smalltalk-80 image-based development is that saving the image back is not "saving your work" but "preparing a cache" in which to load source files ephemerally. But that's just an additional possible use of the image that could be implemented in Squeak/Pharo as well, just like GST had class browser for development if you really wanted.
I mean this with only compassion and a deep sense of empathy - you should consider therapy if you aren’t already going. What you’re describing sounds like Hell, and my first thought is that life doesn’t need to be that way for anyone. You are a source of immense value to the world, and if you don’t agree, it just means you can’t see what others can yet.

Migrating from Firebase to Django – Tips and Strategy
I thought my comment was pretty clear. Most of the tools for trying to extract information about people by how they write is helpful. An example from the list is "Gender Detection from Names" under the "Discrimination" heading.

And then I gave several examples and an explanation. But to reiterate, tools that help us increase our understand of society are helpful, and can be used for good.

The list assumes that a tool that can help discern someone's gender will and can only be used to treat someone unfairly. But a researcher could just as well use exactly the same tools to analyze the gender composition of a set of people, for the purposes of advocating for them.

FOR EXAMPLE, in this repo:

https://github.com/waterdatacollaborative/Get-the-Lead-Out

What if a researcher were to use data mining tools to find out more information about the children most impacted by lead in the water, for the purposes of helping them. (And some have)

Is that an "awful" use of AI?

I would assert that actually yes some of these tools are quite helpful.
In my opinion the fairness of the world is irrelevant as no matter what search space of possible and impossible combinations and get you will never find universal consensus on what qualifies as "fair" making the asking futile. Is a world where any form of violence is literally impossible unfair to others in worlds wracked by it or who desire it consensually?

Who said not to measure things at all?
Dude, thank you for writing this. I had the exact same thing when I got my first full time job and I thought it was a unique problem. You made me feel way less crazy. I’m pretty much over it now, and like you, I had to set some new goals / ambitions to find a new “path” now that all my college ambitions had been achieved.

Learning to meditate was also a game changer. I do it every day before work. Also, talking to a therapist helped me realize I had been being way too hard on myself for too long. Learning to take pride in my accomplishments was another critical factor.

I hope a lot of people see your blog post. Thanks again for putting that together!
I picked up coding at the age of 22 as a hobby and now am a tech lead at a green energy company.

I don't make as much money as my hyper competetive peers. But I feel like the work I do matters a lot more. And I never felt this stress about under performing.
We can infer some things about DDG based published data on crawler and bot activity. DDG's index is pretty comparable to both Google and Bing, but their bot is no where to be found in activity stats. So it's pretty reasonable to think that at minimum their index is primarily derived from 3rd parties.

https://deviceatlas.com/blog/most-active-bots-and-crawlers-w...
https://www.imperva.com/blog/most-active-good-bots/

In my opinion, I don't think it should matter too much that they might not be crawling for their own index as long as they're reordering the results. But I do think there is some stigma where metasearch engines aren't looked at with as much prestige.
> Bandwidth is 12x higher than usual droplets and unlike standard droplets there isn't an included bandwidth pool

I'm particularly disappointed to hear this. Digital Ocean likes to say they have simple and predicable pricing, they even say so in TFA - charging high prices for bandwidth is surely the most despised practice of the big 3 cloud providers. I don't expect this from DP. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed...

Did I correctly understand: You are converting everyone's internal scale to a common scale. The conversion is parameterizing by additive delta such that overall distribution remains normal with std 1.

Cool.
Amazon already operates EU-wide both on their Logistics (there's only one shared by all) and their frontends (all of them work for all countries and share the same code and login). They've already achieved a superset of what amazon.eu should be. A more likely explanation for why they have IT/FR/ES/UK/DE/etc is that they gave the job of entering each country to different teams.
Optimising at that granularity is also utterly at odds with everything that webdev has been doing for decades now.

It's a micro optimisation that won't even register for your users, especially if you're reducing latency on 2mb of JS bundles
You can immediately help yourself, right now by being aware of the true nature of "free" services. Awareness is a great first step.

Next comes actively managing your intake of information, by doing a bit of curation, instead of letting someone else's algorithm do it for their profit. For example, if you're using Facebook, you can use ...book.com/?sk=h_chr in a web browser to show your feed in fairly strict reverse chronological order. Youtube subscripts work the same way.
Sure, it's ok to just let them feed you cool stuff when you're tired... like junk food, a little is ok.

When you post, do it in more than one place. If you haven't already done so like a decade ago, start a blog, and post the insights you've found and don't mind making public there, don't worry at all about hits or traffic... it's a diary you can search or refer to later instead of saying the same thing over and over. Cross-posting is a low effort way to avoid disruption should a walled garden implode. You've already written the post, why not copy/paste it elsewhere and tweak it slightly?

Survivalists preppers anticipate the collapse of society... Internet Survivalists anticipate the collapse of walled gardens, and plan appropriately.

>How’s your experience with dual booting

I haven't dual booted in a while, but it was okay.

That said, using a VM instead tends to be much simpler to manage, and allows you to use any or all of your OS's at the same time.

Nope. https, hybrid crypto and pub->free CA's are the largest backdoor into internet traffic ever (accidentally) devised. The standardization on https for everything (including alt app protocols (dns,etc...)) is very apparently an info grab.

Sym crypto is the only answer (Schneier,DJB) people have been trumpeting this for years.
I'm not sure client's time wasted is the right way to measure. For example, I would prioritize a high-risk security related bug (regardless of its effect on my systems performance) over a memory leak.

I'm willing to pay twice as much for a single PC with similar gaming performance, but I'm not sure it can be done (no concrete suggestions, just downvotes...) I've been building PCs since before plug 'n play existed, and would love to be proven wrong.
> There is no evidence that folks on H1B visa compete with a US Citizen's job.

If an IT department puts out a req and fills it with an H1-B worker, a US worker is out of a job. It's really that simple. People like to respond to this and cite sources funded by H1-B consultancies about how H1-B create more economic opportunities which translates into more jobs for all but this doesn't make sense because companies will A) pocket the savings and B) continue to hire H1-Bs to keep on saving per headcount. The reality is that jobs are a zero-sum game. I welcome your response if you have a counter-point.
Just because the original site was simple, doesn't mean that the thing an MITM replaces it with needs to be. Sites aren't apps; sites that do little don't "install" into the browser with an intentionally-limited set of permissions, such that an attacker would then be limited in their attack by those permissions. An MITM can replace the site with basically whatever they like.

I can't find the example (it was linked on HN a few years back), but a clear demonstration of this is a case where the MITM can serve a phishing page that initially appears to be the original site you've hijacked (so the user trusts it, and leaves it alone); but later, while the page is not visible (for example, when the user switches away from that tab), the page will switch over to showing a Facebook login screen or something.

Since the website isn't a known "malicious site" (so no alert from the browser), the user probably won't bother to look at the URL bar. They'll just think they left Facebook open in a tab, and it logged them out for inactivity. So they'll "log back in."
Yeah so the user should reboot if they believe someone has tampered with the device, such as after a TSA check.
I didn't realize anyone (who cares about company 'status') considered Amazon to be lower-status than Facebook or Google. I mean, hell, it comes after F and before G in FAANG :)

Wildlife is generally not considered a concern in some parts of Europe.

As in, I'm not sure you could get yourself killed by the local wild fauna in Germany if you actively tried.

I found a listicle claiming to contain the 10 most toxic animals, and it's basically a "don't eat this one, that thing can kill you if you're both extremely allergic and unlucky, this snake is technically venomous but good luck getting it to actually bite you and if it does it's easily treated" etc.

First, you'd have to find something dangerous (like the one single bear), then you'd have to convince it to attack you instead of just running away. Your best bet is probably actively looking for a group of boar at night and trying to piss them off.

For wired internet, I suspect that a lot of people are paying for much faster connections than they actually need. As you note, e-mail, streaming video, playing online games, and browsing generally don't need a lot of speed. Latency and packet loss are far more important.

25 Mbit/s is fine for streaming one 4K UHD video with surround sound.

It is mainly just large downloads where speed matters. Downloading a new game, or a big update to a game you have, or a major OS upgrade, will usually take longer on a slower connection. (Not always, because the server might not be fast enough. Not everyone pays the bandwidth costs to allow their download servers to support a bazillion simultaneous gigabit/s downloads).

When I dropped cable TV/phone and went internet only, I decided to cut my speed from 600 Mbit/s ($90/month plan) to 100 Mbit/s ($55/month) to see if it was good enough. (If not, it could be raised easily just by placing an order on Comcast's website. No need to even interact with a human--they only make you interact with a human if you are trying to do something that will lower your bill).

That was 6 months ago, and it is still sitting at 100 Mbit/s. I almost never notice that it is slower than it once was. Most large downloads I do are things I download in the background while doing other things, and then get to sometime later. For most of them, all the change from 600 to 100 did was mean that the gap between the download finishing and my getting around to wanting the data is smaller.

One other important consideration is uploading. My old 600 plan had something like 25 Mbit/s upload. My 100 plan only has 7 Mbit/s upload. That sometimes is noticeable, such as when I need to upload a file to a server for work, then ssh to the server to do something there with the file.

It adds to a number of other great reasons to break up Google and some other big tech companies. The fact that Google is so dominant (controlling both the discovery, browser and casual video content aspects) that they can unilaterally decide on fundamental internetworking protocols is obviviously a very important issue.

You graph the closest station location against the circumference around the coast not distance over land.
In regards to the gains, these results are without 0-RTT, so I expect the gains with 0-RTT to be substantially larger.

The numbers include total application latency, not just the latency introduced by the network, so the improvement to the network latency is larger. As such, applications that are more sensitive to network latency would show larger improvements.

Thanks, Ian
