JSON is a subset of YAML, so if you want to write YAML like JSON you can, and you can even automatically convert from JSON style to more idiomatic YAML, or vice-versa, with appropriate tooling.
Having to sync passwords manually sounds like a hassle.

With 1Password all my credentials are on all my devices, always up to date. It integrates with the password management APIs on iOS so I can create an account on a computer and log in using this same service's app on my phone seconds later and the password will already be there, I just have to stare at the device for a second and I'm logged in.

It's all incredibly seamless and I can't imagine having to go back to managing passwords manually.

Nobody has suggested otherwise, so why do you keep hammering on this point?

> I don't understand why people complain about free services like this.

Free services are not immune to criticism.

If someone is suggesting an unrealistic business model, that's one thing. If they just say a feature is bad, there's no need to argue with them. They are not obligated to "quit complaining"!
That does not necessarily follow, as I imagine you well know.

My favorite story about him from https://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/09/magazine/the-unbelievable...:

> When he was still a young man appearing in Toronto nightclubs and pretending to predict the future, Randall Zwinge created what he hoped would be his greatest trick. Each night before he went to bed, he wrote the date on the back of a business card along with the words “I, Randall Zwinge, will die today.” Then he signed it and placed it in his wallet. That way, if he were knocked down in the street or killed by a freak accident, whoever went through his effects would discover the most shocking prophecy he ever made. Zwinge kept at it for years. Each night, he tore up one card and wrote out a new one for the next day. But nothing fatal befell him; in the end, having wasted hundreds of business cards, he gave up in frustration. “I never got lucky,” he told me.
They should not take it personally. The UX/dev people at Firefox should take that as a constructive criticism.
One is R&D, and one is operations. Obviously there are situations where it makes sense to combine them, but most successful companies with any real technology to sell will not treat R&D this way.
This news is a surprising change from Bergoglio (Pope Francis).

"There are too many rapid mutations to neatly trace a COVID-19 family tree. We used a mathematical network algorithm to visualise all the plausible trees simultaneously," said geneticist Dr Peter Forster, lead author from the University of Cambridge.

Also here: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/05/200505190550.h...

"They identified 198 mutations that appear to have independently occurred more than once, which may hold clues to how the virus is adapting..."

It may "mutate quite slowly" compared to, say, influenza, but compared to anything else it is mutating quite a lot, in only a matter of months. Virus generations are pretty fast.

Because the laws of physics trump the laws of the sovereign? I agree with the position that law enforcement should be able to attempt to access communications with a judicial warrant. I do not agree with a government mandate to use flawed encryption that would allow anyone to read my communications. It's questionable whether that would even accomplish their stated goals, and personally I doubt it.
That's already changing. That we have only relatively recently moved beyond always starting from scratch might indicate that we are still in the Cambrian of AI, however...
good points, did you notice that you can also get investors and pay yourself a modest salary for 10 years?
I'm surprised to see that that's actually a thing people write about. I'm afraid I can't answer your question right now, as I have no idea why anyone would do that (as opposed to, say, vector-valued rewards---i.e., why is the ability to complex-multiply two complex rewards relevant, as opposed to merely comparing separate components of rewards from R^2). I'll have to read up on the subject :)

I've only played with it after finally giving up on using org files for source that others will read and ending up with markdown/pandoc/laTeX workflows, so I may be commenting from ignorance of its use cases. However, AsciiDoc felt a bit like methadone for WYSIWYG addicts---a useful tool to wean someone away from obsessive control of the minutiae of layout while writing toward unentangling the task and allowing the machine (possibly assisted by an editor/layout specialist) to deal with that stuff while the writer...well, writes.

That said, there's probably a huge niche for that, and if it improves adoption of markdown-like text formats, I'm in. I'm tired of having to explain to colleagues that no, that is my original, and yeah, the syntax is really obvious and no, no you don't have to learn LaTeX, here's my style files, no, honest you just have to run a script, hell, just throw your files in the share on my server, it'll email you the results, but, oh, for the, yeah, yeah, I'll get you a bloody Word version.

Make “virtual coffee breaks” part of your remote work routine
Most startups have a financial model before they start doing business, because most startups aren't in tech.

Tech is the only market where you have the luxury to not know what your revenue model is, or even what your product is, for months or years after you have "launched."

Given the high rate of failure with tech startups, more financial modeling in the early stages would probably have resulted in more meaningful attempts at creating value, rather than the constant copycatting you currently see.

Unless it runs through a different junction box, which it might, it wouldn't matter. The tech said as much, that they could upgrade my plan for free, but it wouldn't make a difference. The node is literally on top of the pole outside my house and there doesn't seem to be a way around it.

The AT&T internet plan seems sufficient for my usage. It's capped at 100Mbps, which I understand to be a limit, at least in part, of running over copper phone lines. I get about 20Mbps up pretty consistently, which is enough. Apparently fiber in my neighborhood is right around the corner (literally, my neighbors have it), but we probably won't live here when it arrives.

On a side note, AT&T threw in free install, $150 in gift cards, and a free 24" Samsung LCD. All for $45/mo no contract service. Made it real easy to switch, though I would've anyway.
You seem to be presenting this as a false dichotomy. The road network can't go away even if we have excellent rail travel. If you look at the incremental costs of additional traffic capacity, road transport is pretty competitive.
So, someone here can correct me about this if I'm wrong, but my impression is that DPDK's architecture sort of assumes single-purpose packet-processing servers --- it's commonly deployed with polling-mode drivers, right? So apart from the fact that DPDK would have required us to run another proxy daemon in userland, which was the thing we were trying to avoid doing, it also might have been tricky to get it to behave nicely on the same machines as our Rust edge proxies.

The nice thing about XDP is, you use llvm to make a .o, you load it with iproute2, and you forget about it; your code isn't a process running on the system, but rather a part of the Linux networking stack. It's as if the kernel just shipped with a "route Fly's UDP" feature.
Well I don't know what they spent that $2B on but I hope it wasn't marketing because I've never even heard of Quibi until today.

Just a data point from an third-party observer with no reason to lie to you: your survivor guilt [0] is normal, but you've done nothing wrong and your experience with cancer is valid and I appreciate you talking about it. It's easy to fall for the trap of minimizing your problems after comparing yourself to other people, and it takes courage to be vulnerable and honest about the things that get you down sometimes.

TL;DR: Thanks for your comment.

We do point, but we cannot prove. We have no real control group to speak of.

It's looking to me like it's not so much specific policies as large cultural changes, or at least whole categories of policies. "Let's get rid of a century of safety regulations now to have some more innovation in a few decades" is possibly a good utilitarian decision but also a very, very tough sell.

Edit: I think you are on the right track. We need to understand better what caused it. There are quite plausibly more than one reason for the great stagnation and hopefully some are easier to change than others.

Simple Software Creates Complex Wooden Joints That Interlock with No Nails, Glue
Regarding outages, services such as 1Password allow you to locally save your keys. An outage might interrupt synchronization, but you won't lose access.

As far as the other concerns, I'd say these concerns are all present in the 'single password re-use' strategy as well, except instead of choosing one single company to trust over your stuff, you now have to trust every single website you log into to safeguard your passwords, lest a malicious actor gets access to everything.

I agree there are downsides to services, but I disagree very strongly that the situation with services are no better than just re-using a password.

I think the subsidies helped in the beginning for the non-Tesla buying segment. The Leaf and the Volt/Bolt are overpriced for their size, and the subsidies made them reasonable.

I totally agree with utilities incentivizing EVs for grid stability. I think the missing piece is also installing 2-way charging stations at office parks. Employees plug in and charge during the peak solar-producing times, and with some basic contract agreement, let the office park draw from their batteries in case of a brown-out.

If we ever go back to working in the office that is.

That’s EXACTLY the animal I had in mind
Here's a zany idea: what if research proposals were funded by some kind of ranked-choice voting, and then as a separate step, research teams were assigned to the research proposals, based on their track record of whether they were able to carry out past research according to the agreed-up on plan (but not whether the results were the expected ones)? Suppose that there is also a sizeable reward for winning proposals -- enough to make it worth-while to write good ones.

There are a number of benefits: (1) prevents scientists from being too attached to their own hypotheses (2) demands that the research plan be described well enough up front that any reasonably capable team should be able to understand it (3) rewards scientists for executing well on the proposals, even if the hypothesis turned out to be wrong.
Alright -- how do you improve the ergonomics of thinking?
Roads could easily break even with gas taxes or other fees that users would complain about but still pay. Federal gas taxes cover the majority of highway operational and capital expenses, even with ~1/6 diverted to mass transit. Double the gas tax and interstate highways are entirely user-funded at fuel prices lower than prevailed a few years ago.

Passenger rail outside of the Northeast corridor can’t even fund its current operating cost through ticket sales, let alone the massive capital needed to build more.

I understand that Acalea still suffered an unusual problem. Because the tracks are connected to freight tracks, regulation required it to do well in a collision with a heavier freight train. This means that it has to be much heavier than true HSTs are in other countries. That's why it goes much slower than HSTs elsewhere and is still pricey.

How did you validate this research? It is not like companies that do profiling do that in the open, in verifiable manner.

Also, weird you mention dvorak. I know this is just a hyperbole for the joke of being an easy to identify linux hacker... but keymap is the one thing you can't use for fingerprinting... well, you are able to use the language (by detecting typed in keycodes and matching against a mimum denominator of keymaps) but not the keymap itself (e.g. no way to see qwerty-US vs dvorak-US, but easy to detect -US vs -DE for example)

I think the traditional guidance has been to go for your first colonoscopy around age 50. My doc mentioned that they're recommending that move down to 45, because they're seeing more and more young people with issues. You should bring this up with you doc if you have any similar symptoms or if there's any family history of colon cancer.

There's plenty of low level details engineers in other disciplines aren't expected to understand.

A lot of Engineering is built around models of the world that describe physical behavior. Usually the equations we use are simplified and contain a lot of subtleties when you dig into them.

In fluid dynamics for example the Navier–Stokes equations are infamous because we don't understand all the theory behind why they work. They are used all the time despite not being fully understood.

Semiconductor behavior is another area, the Band Gap models used to describe them incorporates a lot of quantum physics nuances involving Fermi–Dirac Statistics and wave functions and the like.

At some point when you do work in Engineering you are "high enough" up in the stack you can use simplified abstractions and trust that what is underneath is acceptable.

From what I've seen software engineer has these abstractions as well, process switching sounds like one of these cases.
I think you’re being sarcastic but I’m actually not sure.
She was for Ops. They had Jef Katzenberg for content. That said, maybe neither of them had their finger on the pulse, and they are too old and rich to be 'hands on' founders - so without some really competent lieutenants this was going to fail.

$1B is goddam lot of money to spend on something with $0 capex.

The mobile app is a tiny cost.

So you have paying for the content then distribution. The later should have been royalty based and also drive most of the distribution.

It almost smells fishy.
The Physics of Space War: How Orbital Dynamics Constrain Engagements [pdf]
I'm a little taken aback by the title. Marie Antoinette is the very image of dislikable aristocracy. Have folks these days really forgotten why she was so hated? She clearly was unable to perform in the role of arguing for the french people. She was utterly divorced from their problems due to wealth disparity. If people have forgotten why she was hated, we are due for some truly violent times. This is not good: the US ruling class is the very image of pre-revolution wealth disparity, complete with Pelosi eating ice cream out of her two massive fridges during a pandemic. I'm no particular critic of Pelosi in particular, but my jaw hit the floor when I saw her make that video. How can you be this oblivious about how you come off to people?

The book itself is excellent, btw, this is purely a question for the editor of "nybooks". Editor: stop pretending that people forgot why the rich are hated when the poor are starving. We aren't at the place where impoverished women take the streets demanding better prices for bread but we aren't far from it either.
I'm not saying that everything she touched turned to gold, but I am saying that she's one of the most high-profile executives in America.

> the lowest hanging fruit seems to be noting that you’ve seemingly forgotten about freedom of the press with all your examples.

That's a deep, deep non sequitur.

Citzens United was about whether the government can stop corporations such as the NYT from talking about politics. The majority held that they cannot; freedom of the press (in the form of the fist amendment) protects them.

The minority held that the freedom of the press does not protect them. The person you are replying to noted, correctly, that under this view the NYT could be stopped from discussing politics, and your reply is, essentially, "that can't be right, the first amendment would protect them!" I agree, of course, as did, thankfully, Justice Kennedy and four of the other justices. The dissenting justices, however, seem to have forgotten about freedom of the press...
