There are two kinds of mindsets when it comes to learning: a consumer mindset and an autodidact mindset.

In an organization, it's easy to recognize consumers -- they typically say things like: "I don't understand this. Is there a training course for this that I can sign up for?" and expect to be assigned to an internal training session or to some external course.

An autodidact on the other hand goes: "I don't understand this. Let me do some research on my own and try to teach myself."

I've been both at various junctures in my life but I've learned that in order to progress to higher levels, it's better to be an autodidact instead of a consumer. When it comes to new knowledge, there's rarely someone who will feed it to me -- I have to take the initiative to learn it myself.

There's nothing wrong in asking for a clarifying blurb (good marketing aims to make things frictionless for potential customers). But RocksDB is its own universe and it's actually pretty well known. I don't work in this space, and even I know what RocksDB is because it has come up a lot in technical discussions about storage engines. When I first encountered it, I had no idea what it was, but I gathered from comments that people were excited about it, so I googled "wiki rocksdb". It took 2 seconds.

Truly curious people are autodidacts, not consumers.

p.s. the HN comment section is a great venue to "overhear" what the community is talking about and what they find exciting. It provides a good signal to dive into certain topics. Knowledge acquisition is very much a sociological exercise as much as it is an individual one.
Not being in perpetual fear of society breaking down seems like a good way to see society break down. What else motivated millenia of sacrifice?

Yeah they didn't mention the stated purpose of AdNauseam, which is explicitly hostile to ad networks and advertisers.

EDIT: From their paper:

"The second goal is to provide a means of proactive engagement, allowing users an avenue for expression of their dissatisfaction with current advertising mechanisms to those in control of such systems. In the case of AdNauseam, this expression has an interventional aspect, as the software actively attempts to disrupt the economic model that drives advertising surveillance"

You appear to be mistaken on nearly all the facts about the Gebru situation. Given this it seems clear we would draw very different conclusions. Anyone claiming Jeff Dean lied must be so disconnected from the actual facts and so prejudiced to blame Google and view Gebru’s actions as acceptable that their opinion amounts to nothing but partisan gainsaying.

To be clear, it’s ok to disagree with Jeff Dean or to dispute his charitability in accepting Gebru’s ultimatum-based resignation, but to claim he publicly lied is beyond the pale.

It's totally feasible; I could probably write the PR for that in a day, and I'm not a kernel dev. But it's an oddball feature, and one of the big reasons WireGuard works in the kernel is that it's deliberately tiny.

Think about how big the BPF program is that implements the switcheroo we do to get around this. It's not, like, a big ask.
The HTTP protocol level has got to be highly confused by being served from a high-performing AS. Won't any technique appear to be correlated with faster load times if it happens to be served from e.g. the same EC2 region where they ran these browsers?

On news websites, beyond the typical heavy JS ads, uBlock is super useful for removing 1P static ads (e.g. New Yorker "subscribe and get a free tote" linked to as a newyorker.com image from next to an article) as well as things like sticky title bars and "top articles" widgets to declutter the reading experience.
I'd be interested in some people expanding on what they think is so "wrong" with the DOM, especially from the point of view of performance, and (emphasis on this!) what would be so much better. It's not that different than any other widget toolkit anymore, which have all largely converged on the same sort of model for the same reasons.

I can't think of very many things that affect performance in big ways. An explicit "I'm going to do a lot of things to the DOM here, please hold the reflows until I'm done, I understand that some of the properties may go out of date in the meantime" might be nice. (Perhaps it's a death-of-a-thousand-cuts.)

The API itself is a bit klunky, but the rough edges are easy to paper over with any number of libraries, and is hardly the world's first klunky-but-functional API to be so papered over by libraries that add no significant slowdown. (Note I'm not talking about "react" here, but just things that make the DOM API a bit less klunky. Thin little wrappers that mostly get JIT'd out.) Native XPath-like integration into JS would be nice, but honestly, that's going to be a net slowdown because people will do lots of slow, easy things rather than write the more tedious, but faster, DOM manipulation.

But just being klunky doesn't actually make it slow.

Well as the famous game theorist Voltaire said, you shoot one to encourage the others. That brings down the cost pretty quickly.
There was another factor at play here. Standard Oil. This was still the age of the 'robber barons' and Standard Oil ruthlessly crushed any competition, both electric vehicles and alternative fuel sources such as alcohol based fuels. Ford at the time was actually a subsidiary of Standard Oil (Henry Ford and Rockefeller were also personal friends) which resulted in the gasoline powered Ford Model-T, the most successful mass produced car of the era. Smaller car manufactures, seeing the success of Ford and possibly to not be targeted by Standard Oil themselves, fell in line and abandoned electric vehicles and alcohol based fuels. Then Standard Oil formed an alliance with General Motors and Firestone. The group began buying out electric tram companies and dismantling them to push sales to GM's gasoline powered buses.

There are actually quite a lot of languages that do something in the realm of owning/borrowing, see my link above for a partial list (which includes Nim).

Nim's views (and also their ORC system) is closer to Rust/Swift/C++ than it is to Lobster, in the sense that it is all very explicitly programmer driven with explicit type annotations.

Lobster's system is fully automatic and almost entirely transparent to the user.

I'm trying hard to understand your point, but it still feels to me like you're off the mark here.

GDP is not a measure of productivity. It's a measure of output per capita. If you're saying that productivity when up due to software, then output (per capita per hours worked) must have gone up somewhere due to using that software. And as a result it would be captured in GDP.

Imaging for example I sold a manual tool to tend the field when growing crops. If I suddenly invent a new tool that makes you twice as productive, then yes I may sell the exact same number of tools (so it's not captured in GDP), but now every farmer buying it will be making twice a much crop which will be captured in GDP. Or they'll be making the same amount of crop in half the time which would show up as reduced hours worked (which is not what we see).

A median net worth for ~60 year old professionals of 500,000$ isn’t that far from the US average. That’s well outside the top 1%. It would be interesting to see how they compare to say accounts.

Yeah I can't think of anything I've missed by following Release Radar each Friday. It would be nice if it was clearer on Release Radar whether the new release was a single or an album. You can infer this from the single having a separate title than the listed album, but sometimes it's the title track.
You can still see remnants of it, e.g. the Port Authority--aka the world's seediest bus terminal. But, as someone who lived in Manhattan for a summer in the mid-80s, it's hard to see things like the "Disneyfication" of the Times Square area as having too much of a downside.
You definitely don't sound like an outlier.
Robinhood does not have the same weight as larger brokerages, like Schwab, ETrade or Fidelity, so I would definitely expect it to perform worse on time-critical trades. By the same token, those large consumer and pension-fund focused brokerages would fare worse than internal trading desks and shops focusing on the HFT traders.

I would not use Robinhood for HFT or in general where I would care about the speed of trade execution.

You're not wrong. The article is trying to do two things at once: convey to Fly users a new feature we launched and what to do with it, and also talk to the Internet about how we build stuff just as a part of, like, a broader tech industry conversation. The two goals ask for different tones, and they clash.

The right thing to do would be to write two blog posts, but there's no better way to get me not to write something than to tell me I have to write two somethings.

To emphasise, using ECC RAM is another step that can be used to increase the integrity of your data.

It’s like security - it’s done in layers.

Using a checksumming filesystem without ECC RAM is an improvement on not using a checksumming filesystem at all. Do not consider ECC RAM to be a requirement for ZFS / BTRFS.

It does add another layer of improvement though, so if you can, you should!

And even if you can’t, and even if you can’t provide the redundancy to enable bitflips to be resolved, still use a checksumming filesystem if you can!

My luck with this has been pretty mixed.

Several law schools operate “clinics”[1] for investor rights and investor advocacy.

How does one get disposable cards? Bank of America had this temporary credit card number feature, but they got rid of it (last year I think).

I recently took the radical step of buying a youtube family subscription. I was ad-blocking anyway, but if we only consume free things, then we should expect to be exploited in some way by the websites we consume. The family subscription is $18/month, and I am also spending about $30/month on patreon support.

I'm hoping as a paying customer the company/providers will take my needs more seriously than the people who they have to milk for attention. It very likely won't make a bit of difference unless enough people do the same, and I have little hope of that happening. Most people would rather complain about free stuff than pay for anything.

True, fair take - but would you really consider a 2DTE position "HFT"? I run ethereum bots, IMO that is not HFT and Robinhood should at minimum have account representatives to manage client relations to be allowed to operate.

But they don't, because of everything that you said. They are lightweight by design, they are not for large investors, they are made for the retail space.

You can see this echoed in their featureset - for example, no historical date on options prior to purchase date, and only visible once you've purchased the contract. With Etrade or other institutional brokerages, you have access to full historical data for any contract or stock you are looking into. You are able to educate yourself and make much smarter decisions, without leaving their app.

Granted, the Robinhood app is much smoother. They dont' have an iPad app though, which was another big con for me.
