The language doesn't matter, nor even it's high vs low class.

You can write a short function in any language that looks O(1) if you only look at the surface or high level of it. Even assembly. Meanwhile in the middle of that routine is a single call to another function or macro which may be 0(1) or O(n!).

Python was just an example.

I just got started with the M1 Mini, 16GB RAM.

I develop almost exclusively in Rust. Compared to my $1800 work MacBook Pro (early 2020, two fans, 16GB RAM), all my Rust projects literally compile twice as fast on 1.49.

The desktop seems snappy, but I haven't left it on long enough to see if it slows over time. Very satisfied with it so far!
Google is data driven and AB tests the hell out of their features, so I would assume these changes make them money somehow. Your personal preferences or anyone else's is merely a very small data point in their design process.

it's also quite possible to design and implement this one the server side. I mean one can implement Circuit breaking, exponential backoff etc. at network level (e.g. istio) based on the "internal service" (could be VMs/nginx rever proxies) outage error.
Trouble is...you can't tell who is malicious in a DDoS scenario.
It's probably "scale thinking" that makes google seem like they don't care: Everything is huge when you're "at scale"; the impact of a small blunder can take down companies or black out nation states. It's part of the game of being "at scale". They probably believe that it's untenable to build the necessary infrastructure to where everything (website, startup, person, etc.) matters.

This will sound crass, but it reminds me of Soviets cutting off the food supply to millions of people over the winter, due to industrial restructuring, and they brushed it off as "collateral damage".
Re-education is a tainted word, sadly. If someone is indoctrinated and fed only lies and half truths then the only real solution is to be educated on truth. Learning from the work of others is easiest, but doing ones own experiments is certainly possible.

There isn't much of a mind of the language with such matters.

They are idioms and quite often native speakers do not actually realize what they are saying when they use them.

I remember that when I gained more proficiency at Finnish, that many Finns remarked that I was teaching them because I was manually analyzing what was actually literally being said and they never quite considered what they were saying.

Consider that many English speakers when they are saying “God damn it.” they are really not realizing that “God” is the subject, “damn” is the finite verb in the subjunctive mood, and “it” is the direct object, thus expressing a wish that God damn it, whatever “it” might be. — it is an indivisible idiom for them which is also why it is often spelt as one word.

Especially because the subjunctive mood is rarely used as such to express a wish in modern English.
“ Include an expert from every functional area (programming, art, and so on). Arguing over an issue that no one at the meeting actually understands is a sure way to waste everyone’s time.”

This always sounds good in theory but ends up with unnecessary individuals falling asleep during meetings. I prefer either a staggered approach to meetings where the likely unnecessary people are only invited to the end of the meeting OR are simply “on-hand” for the meeting in case they need to be pulled in.

I don’t care how critical the input is, if you pull someone into a three hour meeting and they only contribute five sentences, they’re not going to be happy with you.

I'm pretty tired of name calling like "fat hate". Obesity is a health risk; there's nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade.
The type and quantity of available food is a huge factor. In the 1970s more people were also involved in jobs that required more physical labor: farming, manufacturing, construction, etc.
Now you can point to that and say “We use the best DNS practices as recommended by the NSA.”
One solution, perhaps, could be to have some kind of turnaround requirement---a "habeas corpus" for customer service.

By itself, it won't solve the problem... The immediate reaction could be to address the requirement by resolving issues rapidly to "issue closed: no change." But it could be a piece of a bigger solution.

It's not supposed to have any information or allow compromising security testers - it's never supposed to be used as someone's personal machine, it is intended to be used as a read-only live image or a disposable VM; you spin it up, launch a tool, note the results and wipe the machine, going back to a known state.

As you say, supply chain attacks are very much possible especially because you're intentionally running various third party exploits and malware which you are not going to be able to vet - so you don't expect it to be secure, you don't even bother trying to secure it or trying to verify if it's been broken - you always treat it as something toxic that should be isolated and have limited, transient access to any data.

Not a bad intro and appreciate the intention on keeping it short and simple, but personally for me I think Grokking Algorithms has the best beginner explanations of Big O and basic algorithms / data structures.

The saying is for your own sanity. If you go around assuming every mistake is malicious, it’s going to fuck up your interactions with the world.

Everyone I know who approaches the world with a me vs. them mentality appears to be constantly fraught with the latest pile of actors “trying to fuck them”.

It’s an angry, depressing life when you think that the teller at the grocery store is literally trying to steal from you when they accidentally double scan something.
It sounds like a good idea. But people are a fractious bunch who can't completely agree on anything. Certainly not on what is and isn't "misinformation".

I don't think giving someone(s) the power to ban information they think is harmful is going to be the net win for democracy you want. The first amendment to the constitution seems to agree with me.
Read about federal bankruptcy protection, aka Chapter 11 [1]. Total liquidation would be Chapter 7.

Applying for this kind protection allows a company to continue doing business while halting creditor claims. However, they have to undergo a formal process where they have to construct a restructuring plan to be reviewed and approved by the courts.

The UK this process is apparently called administration [2], and there are several mechanisms for restructuring and dealing with creditors.

In some ways, it seems like we are watching a warp-speed demonstration of how evolutionary processes work. Environmental pressure, lots of contenders coming with slightly mutations and all of them passing through some fitness filter.

It's just too bad that those arguing for decentralized systems fail to spread the meme more effectively. We federalists are like cockroaches.

This is a part of the positive feedback loop. People have isolated bubbles of sensational information, lots of little positive reinforcements for consuming it (social proof, widgets, dings and badges, etc), and it all feeds back into their personal and political identity. In terms of the drug analogy, telling someone to “calm down” is like telling a junkie to “just quit”. It’s not going to break the feedback loop.
This is often expressed as: You can't outrun your fork.

I don’t think it’s as impossible as you might think. Plenty of people right now go in tech “diets” (i.e. going offline for some period of time). The difference is that usually isn’t sustainable over long periods of time.

I also think you’re underestimating how hard it is to avoid basic misinformation. By basic misinformation, I mean stuff that’s verifiably false with a couple of google searches. It’s really easy to recognize misinformation when you already disagree with it. It’s so much harder to do when you agree with the general sentiment. Even on HN, so much bs about Facebook gets upvoted and repeated without critical thought just because most people (and I agree with them) don’t like FB. Images and memes ratchet this up by like 10x.
Sherpas were on all the big western expeditions that I know of. Their names are just usually dropped when talking about it, which is a shame. I recently read Krakauer's Into Thin Air and appreciated that he treated the sherpas on the expedition as fellow humans. They figured as important as anyone else in the story. He was also careful when talking about past climbs to mention all the climbers, sherpa and otherwise.

Very interesting book for me. I knew (know?) very little about mountaineering.
I find it useful to acknowledge when the team is performing beyond expectations. That has been in response to early feedback I received in management roles from team members that when they were putting in extra effort they didn't feel it was "seen" and so it demotivated them to put in extra effort.

I second you. This being the Hacker news I'm really interested in how the phishing worked and the postmortem of the scam. This is a golden opportunity to learn about such high profile attempts, but no one's talking about it. It's sad to see that neither the author, nor her detractors are making any attempt to analyze the situation rationally.
If truth was generally more potent than lies, people wouldn’t have much incentive to lie.
Exactly. So such a company should focus their effort on discovering that 1-5% edge and not waste effort going beyond 80% on things like hr/tooling/billing/etc that are irrelevant to (finding?) their value proposition.
On one hand, I am truly inspired by the feat of achievement of this caliber, at the same time it leaves me with feeling of mournful contempt like a Gladiator fight where someone is going to die.
We all let it come to this. We are all lazy as f and only care about convenience and short term benefit.

I think you could apply the same in Poland. Maybe not "mental illness" but being a bit "off", maybe drunk or drugged. We also associate smiling too much with snake oil salespeople.
That sounds like a personal issue though. I generally know if I'm doing a good job or being a load, and I don't look to external support or denial of that. I prefer regular work reviews but I don't need to hear it all the time. People are people and quite varied, some will think you're doing a great job and never say a thing, others prefer to be "positive" and lay it on a bit thick. When I want an honest evaluation I just ask to please point out both the good and bad from my manager/peer.
'Extreme framing' represents the actual tipping point that resulted in the actual actions (and arguments) being criticised. (Same goes for other examples: Germany has actual laws rather than mere Facebook policies concerning holocaust denial because it views the slippery slope towards Naziism as more plausible and dangerous than the slippery slope towards a unified state version of history)

As for people with concerns about 'fishy stuff', they've been granted plenty of prime time TV hours to talk about it, had fifty lawsuits thrown out by judges often politically aligned with them and are happily posting all over the Internet without fear of any consequences whilst elected officials loudly advocate their cause. Suffice to say this is not the experience of the average 1950s communist or pornographer.

I'm not convinced that the existence of more nuanced arguments about elections means social media should be obliged to broadcast Donald Trump declaring that he won a landslide victory without challenge or Lin Wood making Trump look rational, which all too many 'free speech' arguments have been devoted to.
It's a misconception that The Sherman Act was the beginning of the restraint on monopolies. It's more the other way 'round. Common law concerning restraint of trade goes back hundreds of years before, and could really pinch, with no limits on remedies. John Sherman's act LIMITED how much a railroad (etc) could be fined for it's misbehavior, rather than introducing a legal risk. That risk already existed under common law under the rubrik "restraint of trade" [1] and could be extremely potent, in the years before the Sherman Act existed.
The advantage of a statute was that statutes overrule common law, sending the strong and expansive existing common law vs "restraint of trade" into the dustbin of history. To the great benefit of railroads, etc.
It's relevant that his brother (General) William T. Sherman was the President of a (urban) railroad when the Civil War started. The Republican party (of John Sherman) was a strong proponent and friend of industry and infrastructure, not an enemy of it.

> most people are not used to how science can change over time

We need more education on the scientific method and how it works.
I realize why they do it, but it can never work because the n.p.c.'s do not react to me in return. I can talk to them, say things to them, but they will never respond to anything I say.

Thus, the end result is that Gordon Freeman is a man whom many speak to, yet who never speaks back, and no one considers this to odd to say the least. — the conversations thus appear ridiculous.

It worked better with Chell, because others do not that Chell does not speak back, and Chell actually canonically refuses to speak out of stubbornness, so it's amusing to see Wheatley being obviously uncomfortable from the fact that Chell does not speak back and is simply blabbering to fill the awkward silence.
> GM was in the red for every Bolt sold, somewhere between selling each unit at a $4000 to $9000 loss[1].

Tesla consistently has a larger loss per vehicle, and unlike GM there is no actual profit center to compensate if the government subsidies happen to dry up.
Not so much doomed as we will just need to learn to live very differently.
> QAnon is just more fun.

As a counter-example, to me being right or approaching truth consistently and in a repeatable manner is much more fun than believing whatever I want to believe.

I know which beliefs I'd like to be true, but self-deception isn't as fun as being right; right as in claims made within an independently validated methodological framework that makes my claims reproducible.

That's isn't inherent, I assume, but learned.

The, arguably, oldest human system of hierarchical organization called Church would like to have a word with you: a system based purely on psychological and social incentives, nothing else, giving relevance to itself and propagating certain world-views, beliefs and thought-systems.

Thanks for your two posts, I agree with pretty much all of what you're saying.

When you look at the millions of man-hours that have gone into the "burn it all down and start from scratch" languages (Go, Rust, etc) and you consider what if those guys had written new compilers for JAVA syntax? How great that would be. They could still accomplish many Go and Rust objectives without having to completely invent their own non-Java-like syntax. Even something that was "Java-like" is better than burning it all down every time something new is needed.

This is the American way. Europeans have a different approach to it and they do ban certain speech outright.
They may be culturally and physically acclimatized to mountains in every way, but not likely to the notion of 'mountaineering/climbing' in the romantic sense.

After all it serves no purpose, requires development of new tech, money etc..

I don't think anyone doubts they couldn't have done it long ago were some local ruler to have made it a priority.

I wonder if they thought the original European 'explorers' to be completely mad.

So that leaves the question: the mountains were 'right there' and they had innate ability, so why didn't they 'just do it', and have the routes all mapped out for centuries already? Is I think the rhetorical question that unpacks a lot of things.
I'm not sure I understood what the curious part about the debug logs was.
Usually "average" or worst case" O(n^2) means it's really big O, while "best case" or "always" O(n log n) means big Theta.

I am with a broadband provider in the UK called Zen, at 23:15 every Sunday our PPPoE session is terminated, and it takes a couple of minutes before it successfully resumes. Occasionally it will happen mid-week, however still at 23:15. At one point I suspected the provided FRTIZBox router, however the problem persisted once we moved to an MT992 modem and a Unifi USG.
This is actually funny, because I was involved with the creation of this list, way back in 2004. The whole thing started as a way to stop phishing.

I was working at eBay/PayPal at the time, and we were finding a bunch of new phishing sites every day. We would keep a list and try to track down the owners of the (almost always hacked) sites and ask them to take it down. But sometimes it would take weeks or months for the site to get removed, so we looked for a better solution. We got together with the other big companies that were being phished (mostly banks) and formed a working group.

One of the things we did was approach the browser vendors and ask them if we could provide them a blacklist of phishing sites, which we already had, would they block those sites at the browser level.

For years, they said no, because they were worried about the liability of accidentally blocking something that wasn't a phishing site. So we all agreed to promise that no site would ever be put on the list without human verification and the lawyers did some lawyer magic to shift liability to the company that put a site on the list.

And thus, the built in blacklist was born. And it worked well for a while. We would find a site, put it on the list, and then all the browsers would block it.

But since then it seems that they have forgotten their fear of liability, as well as their promise that all sites on the list will be reviewed by a human. Now that the feature exists, they have found other uses for it.

And that is your slippery slope lesson for today! :)
I'd much rather the protagonist be silent in an FPS. It ruins the immersion for me, unless there are dialogue choices so I still have some agency. I quit playing Dishonored 2 after a couple of hours because the protagonist keeps talking as a way to narrate things for the player, but it's just silly being a stealth assassin constantly talking to yourself.

You don't have to have all cells with e.g. x=1 appear in a straight line. What if you imagine it to be the three visible faces of a cube, projected into 2D?
Then x=1 is a bent line going through the cell one right of the center. Meanwhile x=0 is the entire left face (a parallelogram of hexes). And there is no x < 0.
