I always understood Firewire to be a standard designed for complementary use-cases to USB. Firewire isn't an attempt at "USB but better" (though devices could theoretically be made to use it that way); it's an attempt at "powered SCSI, but smaller and more ruggedized." It's a professional-equipment port, designed—on the one hand—for devices like laptops that can't fit the older, full-scale professional-equipment port (like SAS or mini-XLR); and on the other hand, for manufacturers of high-BOM high-margin professional equipment, as an extra port they can slap onto their device to allow these portable devices to connect to them.

In that sense, Firewire is less analogous to a Lambo ("a better car"), and more akin to a truck. But a very tiny truck, designed for both off-roading and portability. Which is to say: an ATV.

An ATV isn't better at being a car than a car is, but it is better at being a truck than a car is (though worse at being a truck than a truck is.) But sometimes, especially in constrained environments (e.g. search-and-rescue in the Alaskan wilderness), a truck won't fit, and a car won't work. So you need an ATV. It's well-engineered for that particular set of constraints.

Which is also the deal with Thunderbolt: it's PCI-e, but smaller and ruggedized, for places PCI-e itself wouldn't work (like a laptop), but where you nevertheless still need PCI-e -alike performance and bus semantics.
I bought some thermal grizzly on eBay but I suspect they’re all very similar. In any case it seems thermal grizzly is the high profile brand. The tubes are small (1g) bit you really don’t need much. I put probably a pinhead and a half on the die and maybe a pinhead on the cooler. Watch videos on how to apply it, it’s hard to spread in the beginning because it won’t “stick” to the surface but eventually you’re able to “paint” the whole contact area.

Be very careful because it’s electrically conductive. Or use conformal coating/nail polish around the die of you don’t trust yourself.
jwz and Carmack are the canonical examples but I also can't think of anyone else who is as widely known as those two.
Hasn't it always been like that with console manufacturers?
Have you considered that the US workers are also hurting in this pandemic? At some point people need to start thinking about helping out the productive class in this country instead of just the business owners and CEOs who are pocketing the savings from labor arbitrage.
I would argue that figuring out the real cost of a bug is not trivial most of the time.

I know there's a lot of nuances in this, but I really with the US would head towards computer driven policies (with judiciary oversight). Think of it as Census v2.0. There's so many things that should not have human involvement like district lines (gerrymandering).
You can still compare yourself to others in your age group. There needs to be a realization that there are always people better and worse.
It's hard to eat enough cinnamon to affect most people, but some are extra-sensitive to it. Apparently there is a lot less in the stuff labeled cinnamon and sold to Americans, which is actually not cinnamon at all, but cassia, a whole other species. The difference was understood in Europe in ancient times, so there is no excuse. Sometimes you can find the real stuff in the US labeled "Ceylon cinnamon". It's a darker red than cassia, which is unapologetically brown.

Real cinnamon tastes more like red cinnamon candy than cassia does. Americans are always mystified as to why cinnamon candy doesn't taste anything like the cinnamon they put in their pies.
https doesn't flag that.

Your browser might flag a http server as dangerous (mine doesn't - it just has a padlock with a line through), but you're leaking information to your ISP that you are reading about a Physical Therapist.

If your site tries to do https and fails (self signed or invalid certificate) it will rightly flag up that it's a problem.

My grandma would not be able to manage a server on the internet, let alone responsibly manage it. If you can't set up a modern server with https then you shouldn't be running a server on the internet at all.
It's not free when you need to pay someone to update your website.

Grandma might be able to edit HTML, but "what's sudo? What's ssh? This one website says I need to pay for certs?"
>90%+ of the people who think that are liberals. Moderates and conservatives can mix cultures pretty freely.

That hasn't been my experience at all. And I'm center-left myself. You know, somewhat to the left of Bernie Sanders.

It seems you don't know many of your brother and sister Americans that you call "liberals."

Here in NYC we have about a 5:1 D/R ratio and you won't find many places on the planet, let alone in the US, that are more welcoming of different cultures, practices and individual choice.

I suggest you engage with your fellow Americans. I think you'll find that the vast majority of us have much more in common than we do differences.

There are those (like the ones telling you that ~200 million of your fellow Americans are evil, twisted communists who want to destroy our economy and Constitution) who want you to hate and fear your neighbors and fellow citizens.

Those people (regardless of political bent or affiliation) are the ones who threaten to destroy our democracy and Constitution.

As a general rule, folks like that are only interested in personal benefit and self-aggrandizement. And they're a very small group.

Would it surprise you to know that most of the folks you call "liberals" just want a decent job/career so they can live decently and raise their kids to be happy, healthy and fulfilled?

Would you be shocked to hear that those you deride believe in the ideals of our democratic republic, or that we believe in the rule of law, equal protection under the law and freedom of expression?

If you believe that a majority of Americans are communists and hateful people who want to destroy their own country, then you're not seeing the world as it is.

I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss the importance of tolerance, liberty and the ideals which fomented the founding and second founding[0] of our nation with you.

As I mentioned above, I think you'll find we agree about much, much more than we disagree.

If that sounds like a good idea to you, feel free to email me (no spaces or commas): En,,,cyclic al 17,76 at pro,,,ton mail dot co, , ,m

I don't normally do this sort of thing, but I'm so sick of the negativity and lies that make us suspicious and fearful of our fellow Americans.

I want my country to be a great place with liberty and opportunity for everyone. But we can't have that if we the people let those with the desire and motivation to create conflict divide us.

Even if you don't talk to me, please open yourself to the possibility that what you read on Twitter and Facebook doesn't reflect the values of most of your fellow Americans.

Learning to argue both sides can help. One of the reasons I'm (fairly) good at persuading people or at least expressing my rationale even if I fail to persuade is that I have long practiced the counterarguments in my head (and often with others). It helps that I was very introverted and introspective as a teen and college student. That is, I don't start from a position of "I'm right" but a position of "What if I'm wrong", and then work towards a set of arguments that either go against my initial position or sufficiently justify it. At that point, I feel comfortable presenting my ideas to others.

With enough practice, this becomes something you may be able to do on the fly. If you're a relatively slow thinker (I often am), it can help to set the pace. Make enough noise when you're thinking something through that others can't steamroll over you.

--------

Learn to express your assumptions. If I go into a design meeting and I say, "X is good and how we should do it." I should back that up with my assumptions. "We're targeting an embedded, resource constrained, real-time system so we should use an appropriate language that gives us tight control over the runtime and memory usage. Therefore, I recommend we use C, given that our team is very familiar with it."

--------

A reason for stating assumptions is also that many debates are based on a misunderstanding. You're arguing against each other's positions because you enter with different assumptions. Using a real experience: A colleague strongly objected to the use of recursion in programs. When we finally worked it out, it wasn't that he didn't like recursion full-stop, it was that his experience was almost exclusively with real-time, embedded systems where recursion was avoided for good reason (along with things like heap allocation). He'd internalized so that it was almost a reflex to be anti-recursion. Once we were able to realize why he argued against recursion, though, he was willing to relax his stance given different circumstances (writing desktop applications, or similar environments with relatively few constraints).

If you state your assumptions it gives people a better chance to realize where you're coming from. And then you can start asking for theirs. Though maybe not using the word "assumption". Ask "why": "Why do you object to inheritance ever being used?" or the counter position "Why do you want a 20-deep inheritance hierarchy?". What about either of those positions makes either the design or the maintenance easier or harder, what are the trade-offs. Maybe they selected a design based on ease and speed of implementation, or ease of testing, or ease of maintenance. But each of those can have tradeoffs with the other so get them (and answer this yourself, don't just expect others to answer these) to state their priorities. Then, even if you lose the final argument, you can at least understand why a decision was reached (difference in priorities, different in experiences, whatever).

These two examples are interesting. They're both cases where what was being created was a system where software was an important component, as opposed to the software written by the vast majority of us where the hardware components of the system are always the same (monitor, keyboard, etc.) This is the same distinction in Diamond v Diehr for when software might be included in a patent. I always thought the US Supreme Court made a good decision there. Unfortunately they were later overruled by lower courts. (For legal experts out there about to correct me and say that lower courts can't overrule higher courts, I wish you were right.)
These are just the details I gleaned from the article. But, I have a similar understanding... that the blockchain functionality is similar to self-signing.

The article bills Vapor as helping to decentralize the "data layer" of an api. This naturally has some immediate caveats... like... this sort of framework would not be suitable for real time or streaming Apis.

Also, the article doesn't really touch on the cost of maintaining all of this. It's true that vapor api hosts can charge a small transaction fee to maintain/run their processing nodes. I have to wonder what that looks like, and if people are willing to pay a per-request fee for an http transaction.

I don't believe this is intended to replace standard authentication, and calling out how it's impractical for common scenarios is fair game. However, I think it's more interesting to think about scenarios where this might be useful.
Indeed. It’s typically a pH of 1.

And your body is really good at buffering acids and bases. Once your stomach empties into your small intestine, bicarbonate is released which raises the pH to around 5.5 I believe which is necessary for digestive enzymes to work.
That belief is only held by those who are hard of accounting.

The government's red ink is our black ink. Treasuries are savings assets for the private sector.

It's the desire the save in aggregate and be in the black that drives the red ink on the other side of the balance sheet, not the other way around. So to balance the budget you have to prevent anybody saving in aggregate, which is impossible to do without completely collapsing the economy 2008 style via an unsustainable private debt bubble.

People like to save. That has to be accommodated by the currency issuer.

I guess some speed tests would be insightful since your effectively doing more hops, and also a comparison to why this beats SSL.

You list the pro's but what about the cons? Surely having an immutable ledger has some negatives, as well as a signing server.
Usually, because they help narrow down the sources of error. If you've tested your code so you're sure the various bits work as intended, any remaining somewhat crazy results are down to things you don't understand properly.

A somewhat validated code allows you to do by computational experiments what you can't by real life experiments. Very handy if one of the common end states in the experiments is "death".

Bing and ddg are somewhat closer, but far from identical. Include the second page of googles results, and all three have vetinfo.com etc, but bing and google have two links to www.quora.com where ddg doesn’t have any. I only bring that up because of you compare results under the assumption that bing and ddg are identical it’s easy to overstate the similarities.

I wanna stay away from Google as much as I can. Also, as I mentioned earlier I will probably add some kind of automation to access the page from Linux command line, and Google won't help here.

I am considering maybe learning Rails. I just worry if it would be too overkill or too complex for it.

I am also considering just using Ruby with CGI.

I had my first quarter life crisis at 18, when I came to grips with the fact that I had accomplished nothing in my life so far, as evidenced by my lack of good college admissions - I graduated only 2nd in my class with just a 1500 SAT, which isn't good enough for top schools.

Unlike OP, however, it was less of an aimless drift and more of an aggressive, angry depression. Had another one at 20, when I realized that not getting into a FB internship would probably set me back permanently from my goals.

Now I'm 24, work at Amazon and widely considered a disappointment to people in OP's social circles. The pain has waned a bit, but the crisis is just constant now, like the roar of an engine on a long airplane flight in coach. Eventually the discomfort of the resting your head on the window and the anger you feel at the people with lie-flat seats paid for by Google and Facebook overpowers the rest.

What are your thoughts about the list? Would love some feedback.
I have loved most of my jobs over my 27 year professional career.

I love my family even more...by a large margin.

Team members at every organization I've worked with have heard me say, when asked to join them for drinks after work, "Hey, I like you guys and that sounds fun, but I like my family even more. Have a great time!"

> You shouldn't love your job.

Why not? I consider myself exceedingly fortunate and lucky to be in the tiny minority of people who has had the high privilege of really enjoying/loving the work I get to do.

> A job is what you do for money.

Yup! It can be more than that, but that's the baseline. What's wrong with really enjoying/loving that which you do to make money?
I was thinking along the lines of funneling income payments through corporate shells in foreign countries in order to evade personal taxes.

There are tons of ways techniques. The tax code enables this abuse increasing complexity and establishing loop holes. These benefits become virtually meaningless to the greater population and only works to the advantage of a few.
Pigs are smart. Traps and poison don't work as well as you might imagine. I'm sure you've heard the saying "Build a better mousetrap and the world will provide you a better mouse." or something to that effect. Pigs are smarter than mice.
It’s not incredibly rare at all. Phones these days are engineered well and they’re much less susceptible to fall damage. I’ve dropped my case-less iPhone X on the ground half a dozen times and it’s only collected a few dings on the corners.
Shameless plug: I'm also interested in assigning cost and prioritization to things when it's difficult to do so mathematically or trivially. I'm building a system to do so using Relative comparison. It's in the VERY early stages but: https://www.makepriorities.com
I don't disagree, but I still really really have a hard time caring about < 1ms of latency on a 50ms call.

But, if I had to pay the electric bill on 2.5 million servers, I would definitely care about wasting resources sending extra packets.
Gratitude, baby. Our society seems very focused on "more", but it is very good for one's mental health to remember how great what we have now is.

There are studies that show daily practices of gratitude change the brain. If you can, write down three things you are grateful for every night before bed. No matter how bad your day was, it will put you in a better head space.

Now, of course, I don't routinely follow my own advice. But when I did, it had noticeable benefits that have persisted to this day.

Well, you know how much time costs right? And you know how much time each client waste when the bug occurs? If you don't then fix that. These are values that can be measured from real world, empirical.

Guessing how long to fix, or how many "points" a bug will take is complete BS next to real-world values.

Why make devs guess at the future when you could have business manages measure the present?
Reduced evolutionary pressure ( due to better medical care, diet, etc... ) must be a major factor.
That simplified framework literally isn't actionable given nitty gritty details of valuation and deductions like business expenses - without them no low margin business may exist without a very low baseline tax rate as earning $100 on $90 of input would mean no to negative profit on a shockingly low total tax rate of 10%. The decision if it counts or not is a matter of semantics if it is "grossly overtaxing/giving a massive subsisy to the unprofitable".

Let alone all of the other "not technically a tax" semantics like licensing fees that get utterly stupid like - "Is it an exemption that license plated bicycles don't pay for emission inspections or gas taxes? That an original Model T hardly driven doesn't need a registration fee?"

I dislike the favortism and complexity but not having it is incompatible with the current allocation of power to self-govern and imposition of any new status quo would be transient and/or near impossible to get passed in the first place.
Probably speaks to the different strategies at play. The Xbox is being treated almost as a piece of commodity hardware to run GamePass on, PS5 the device is much more the star of the show. No strong opinion on either approach but does explain a lot of the design decisions.
Sure it is (though it depends a little what you mean).

I expect HTTP/2 usage to disappear, leaving HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/3 as the main versions in use. For HTTP traffic (as distinct from other upgraded protocols like WebSocket) HTTP/2 is mostly better for users than HTTP/1.1, but TCP head-of-line blocking is its one particularly serious problem. For users, I would characterise HTTP/3 as generally just the best of both worlds, and once you have it there there’s no reason at all for HTTP/2.

HTTP/1.1 will remain popular indefinitely for compatibility with older servers and clients that aren’t being updated to the latest stuff, and for HTTP upgrading mechanisms.
If you’re pathetic like me I guess. I only work at IBM on a bunch of Salesforce bullshit, so I find working on AI at AWS to be pretty impressive. Trust me I know there’s tiers to this stuff as someone who hasn’t passed interviews at Google and Citadel.

From what I've read, ONE order of magnitude higher density is all we need for commercially viable eletric airplanes. We don't need an additional 10X, as you are suggesting.
What's amusing is that you can probably do it without any 'fairness' tax at all - if there is sufficient saving.

You just need to ensure everybody can sell their labour to the central bank for a fixed amount and that the central bank can credibly threaten to create alternative production at the low end.

I think it comes down to the degrading quality problem for brands and products.

One thing I have in mind was suggested by another user:

To combat brands changing over time as they often do, graphing the rating over time may let you see when/where the brand went from quality to cashing in on the recognition. I could see such a feature eventually evolving into more, like allowing people to highlight major points on the timeline (like an acquisition or change in manufacturing location) or letting you filter reviews to a certain period.

But that's quite a big feature, something for the future :)
