Sounds silly? It won me over on first sight.
Congratulations!

I was in the same situations not long ago. Here's what worked for me:

1. Understand your tax situation. You probably have to start pre-paying federal and state taxes, maybe even in the year the IPO happens. You don't need to prepay exactly the right amount so you can just guestimate to start out, but it's good to get within 10% of the right amount so you don't pay too many penalties. Finding an accountant now can be helpful. Don't stress too much about getting it exactly right! Yes, it's a lot of money, but you're still in an area where a standard accountant and normal advice still helps.

2. Choose the schedule you're going to sell your stock at, and where it's going. I sold my stock on a regular cadence as soon as I could, which was a great idea because having 99% of your net worth in a single stock isn't great. I kept a 5-10% cash cushion, which I'm holding onto until the current economic situation seems more reasonable. For the rest, I put 80% into an S&P 500 index fund and 20% into total bond market index funds.

3. Don't add any expensive hobbies for at least 12 months.

I'm extremely happy with the results. It resulted in good financial gains, low risk, and an extremely low level of effort. I do not think a financial advisor is useful at mid 7 figures (though to be honest I didn't even try one). I was glad that I had an accountant, because taxes are where you can really screw things up (if you're better at paperwork than I am, it's not 100% necessary).

If you wanted, you could try to perfectly optimize everything and get a financial advisor, or try to squeeze money out of a variety of things like real estate, specific stock, bitcoin, whatever. But you don't have to. It's a lot of money, and for most people it's enough, so index funds are good enough to get some additional value, and then stop worrying about it and go back to thinking about the things you'd prefer to spend time on.
Yes true. You also want the data which is passed between the different layers to be as simple as possible to avoid leakiness. I try to avoid accepting complex instances as function arguments and try to avoid returning complex instances that will allow the user to manipulate shared state.

It takes a lot of effort and thinking to figure out an abstraction which fulfils all of its requirements while at the same time exposes a simple communication interface.

> The problem is that in purely a private, zero-knowledge cryptocurrency, it’s difficult or impossible to inspect the actual currency issuance rate

Satoshi could have made mining reward increase at 2% per year, but very deliberately decided on hard cap on how many will exist. This decision made early adopters literally and metaphorically invested in bitcoin's success.

Are you saying that some detail of zk-Snark makes that not possible for cryptocurrencies based on this technology?
For a cryptocurrency to be truly decentralized, its emission cannot depend on factors external to the blockchain.

You can have any any predetermined mild inflation you want.

This did help to stave off (if not prevent) the total systemic collapse of the world economy though. So let's not lose the sight of that.
I think this is quite telling that the economic aspects almost immediately pops up. I believe that over the decades we have shifted more and more from "people first" to "economy first", to the point that sometimes it feels like people exist only to serve economy.
An honest question: how do you cope with the feeling where you have much more coding to do and you haven't finished what you were working on, and now it's a non-coding day but you are constantly thinking about the code that you'd better off finish before doing anything else?

Exactly my first hypothesis too. But then keepthescore claims,

How would this hypothesis explain that?

Metadialogue:

John Watson: "I deduce that someone changed the dev config source so that it uses the production config values."

Sherlock Holmes: "My dear Watson, while that is sensible, it seems to me that the balance of probability leans towards their production instance also having the development access credentials."

---

Just my way of saying, I think this case isn't as shut and closed as most comments (including parent) imply. I personally find the /etc/host mapping a likelier hypothesis but even that can't explain how different credentials failed to prevent this. Without more details coming from a proper investigation, we are just piling assumptions on top of assumptions. We are making bricks, without enough clay, as Holmes would say.

And while we haven't conquered the desktop, Linux is huge on mobile - where Microsoft has given up.

Even (parts of) Microsoft realizes where this is likely to go as shown by the fact that they are busily positioning themselves for it.

Japanese tools are insanely good. I bought a specialized plastic cutter from a Japanese company a couple years ago. It was expensive, but I couldn't find another that took less than 4 weeks to ship.

It's built more like a smartphone than a cheap hand tool. Fully machined, no parting lines, very tight tolerances. The plastic is quite strong, maybe nylon. The steel cutter is definitely hardened and non magnetic so possibly stainless.

And in Japanese fashion, as far as I can tell this company only makes plastic cutters

Interesting essay Jay. The top comment in this thread is by throwaway13337. You see this when people have a hot take they want to post but aren't ready to own it in front of their peers. I'd bet on average comments from accounts with identifiable personal info are much more tame and civil. But if everyone is too scared to talk about something for fear of getting cancelled then anonymity is the natural answer.

Maybe in the future if something is written by a bot it will need to be disclosed that a real human did not %100 write it. I mean I just looked at your blog and your twitter and I feel like a devious enough actor could use AI to help them create just as genuine of an online presence as you have, even down to the profile pic.

I actually wanted to raise this discussion on HN and created a thread [1] but it didn't get any traction. Maybe it could be a future topic for you.

If things continue the way they are we'll all be paranoid about everything being fake, like an internet Truman show. The sad part is you know it's fake and there's nothing you can do about it. So basically we have to go back to meatspace for genuine human interaction which is not the absolute worst I guess as long as there's not a deadly pandemic going on.

Or you could simply use a fast and physically small USB keychain, and start from that(maybe even loading it into RAM and operating from that(RAM DISK). For the system and programs it doesn't really matter today. They are almost all fast enough. Use the internal storage for your own data only. Use another USB-stick/keychain for another system if you need it, and so on. Sounds hacky and amateurish, but can work well, depending on your use case(s).
About pricing in .ro: I have a business link with 1000 down / 200 up and static public IP for $25. A similar speed home link is $9. Adjusted for big mac index (2.5x) they would be around $60 / $22.

> I believe EU demands people to be allowed to freely pick their own router. Whatever brand it is and whoever owns it you can put it near your demarcation point

Do you have a reference for that? I have FTTH in France from SFR and I suspect there's some funny business going on where you have to jump through hoops in order to replace the provided router. Not only won't they provide a DHCP lease if you don't ask with the right options, but lately the dhcp server seems to actually stop providing anything at all once it saw an un recognized request. Support has to intervene to make it work again and the issue doesn't seem common because it usually takes them a week to find out what's up. They would even try replacing the router at your house...

Edit: found the EU regulation : https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELE...

I'm afraid I don't get this at all. Use of data should define the data...

> The reason why ext4 and xfs both use nanosecond resolution is because in the kernel the high precision time keeping structure is the timespec structure

...so resolution here is defined by what's provided, not what's (decided to be) useful. Is ns resolution useful is the important question.

> Why not use a finer granularity? Because space in the on-disk inode structure is precious

That's not a good reason AFAICS. What would it gain your users if you did? 1 ns = ~4 machine cycles. Timestamping to that res, well, what's the value to any application? I'm missing something.
I'm appalled at the way some people here receive an honest postmortem of a human fuck-up. The top 3 comments, as I write this, can be summarized as "no, it's your fault and you're stupid for making the fault".

Thanks for this. A long-ago summer job was running those machines to make things like mirror rims and taillights. I still have a couple of the fantastic blobs produced when changing over from one job to another.

One of the things that struck me then is how much the line workers were treated like furniture, when many of them were quite sharp. They took such pride in getting things done well and at speed, in continually improving. I really wish I could put that kind of data in the hands of a couple of the people who trained me. Just an app on their phones. Spending 40+ hours/week on a machine means you really get to know it. I'd love to see how many of them would get great first-pass analysis and remediation.
Just as with Bitcoin, you have to know the genesis block.

Which is generally hardcoded in the client you run. So in that sense you trust the binaries you download, or the source code that you compile. The advantage of PoW consensus is that it's much easier to tell the real chain from a fake one, as the latter will not have much more work performed on it.

Even with the genesis block fixed, control of the initial keys embedded in it allows you to generate arbitrary alternative blockchain histories that without PoW are difficult to distinguish from the "real" one.

Oh, hey - that's my post. I have a blazingly fast re-implementation of these algorithms in Rust, which will soon make an appearance as a set of command-line tools. This will be a companion to the interactive in-browser implementation at https://binvis.io.

It would be beneficial for `rm` to have a way for making `trash` mode the default mode of operation. Unix shell is prone to errors like this beyond all reason. And nobody would die typing:

fs.delete(shell.expand('*'), recursive:yes)
fs.undo()

or something like that with completion helpers. Our instruments usually lack any safety in general, and making them safe is hard, especially when you're just a worker and not a safety expert. All the world today benefits from mistake-friendly software, except for developers who constantly walk on ui minefields.
