This roughly is how Medium works.

I subscribed to Medium mostly because I liked the idea of paying writers with money rather than with ads. Very shortly after, I stopped bothering with Medium because it's a pit of eternal clickbait. Pay-per-read sets up bad incentive structures.
How, if the client authentication key is implemented in Apple's hardware?

At least the device serial number is already used as part of iMessage authentication (it needs to be spoofed to work on Hackintoshes as far as I've read), and Apple has secure hardware that can easily support actual attestation in all of their recent devices.
I’ve met people with “all the markers but one” and thus never get a neat diagnosis of a known disease, and it’s very devastating to live with that kind of an unknown where doctors have so few answers or cures (not that they have all that much more with known AI diseases, but it’s more comforting to be bucketized than most people know). For lack of better solutions they can get put on daily prednisone for months (or years!) which causes a wholly different set of health challenges to manage the first. It can be very hard for folks walking homeless through a desert of autoimmune knowledge. Often my advice is, “what would you do if you had that last marker? Adopt a lifestyle as if you did: watch your food intake, do gentle but regular exercise, get plenty of sleep, reduce mental and physical stress, avoid excess (sun, drink, food, etc).” I’ve yet to meet anyone with a neat diagnosis that wants to be on immunosuppressive drugs, so even these folks must strive to manage their disease through disciplined lifestyle changes.

I also understand the need for doctors to be measured in their diagnosis, so I don’t begrudge them for following protocols established for disease qualification. I don’t think of it as invalidating experiences of patients (though it can feel that way to patients) but everyone is aware of those that want a diagnosed health problem, and to a more frequent extent, those that want a tidy answer to their experiences even if there isn’t one. Denying a diagnosis of a known disease is not denying a diagnosis at all.
I watched it. It was dumb. A textbook example of some major fallacies:

The first is mistaking your level of desire for something to happen with the actual probability of it happening. It's clear he doesn't just think web programming is going to collapse, he wants it to happen. And it's distorted his estimation of its likelihood. I'm sure in 2030 he'll be making videos confidently predicting the collapse of web programming by 2040.

The second is where an expert in one domain considers its complexity to be inherent and unavoidable, while assuming other domains, of which they are ignorant, are inherently simple. Then when they try to engage with those domains, they run into significant complexity and experience the uncomfortable and unfamiliar sensation of being an amateur again. Since the unfamiliar domain is, by their estimation, simple, they conclude that the complexity they've encountered is unnecessary — a result of people working in that domain being too stupid or inventing busywork.

The third is the mistaken belief that our means will improve, but that our desires will remain the same. So, right now we have certain requirements, and in order to meet them requires us to do a lot of complicated, cutting edge stuff. But soon all that complexity will get figured out, the cowpaths will get paved etc., and we'll happily just pushing a single button to do everything we need. The reality is, of course, that our requirements will just get more complicated as well. Human civilisation has been on this treadmill since time immemorial.
I've long held the opinion that chip making will eventually go the route of uranium refining and become national strategic capabilities that all great powers will pursue. I'm continually surprised that this doesn't seem to be taking place outside th defence sector.
Truly impressive work.

> Where do people get this knowledge?

Time, hands-on experimentation, and focus.

Anecdotally, reverse engineering and low-level hacking felt more popular back in the 90s and early 2000s. Back then, there were fewer distractions to soak up the free time of young tech enthusiasts. Old IRC chatrooms feel like a trickle of distraction relative to the firehose of Twitter, Reddit, 24/7 news cycles, and modern distractions.

A common complaint among the younger engineers I mentor is that they feel like they never have enough time. It's strange to watch a young, single person without kids and with a cushy 9-5 (or often 11am to 5pm at modern flex/remote companies) job complain about lack of free time. Digging deeper, it's usually because they're so tapped in to social media, news, video games, and other digital distractions that their free time evaporates before they even think about planning their days out.

It's amazing what one can accomplish by simply sitting down and focusing on a problem. You may not reach the levels of someone like Alyssa, but you'll get much farther than you might expect. And most importantly, you probably won't miss the media firehose.
Ah, ok that's some nuance I didn't know about!

We're storing a few GB of data in the sqlite DB. Rebuilding those when rqlite restarts is slow and intensive process compared to just using the file on disk over again.

Our particular use case means we'll end up restarting 100+ replica nodes all at once, so the way we're doing things makes it more painful than necessary.
This seems like a problem that could be solved with one email.

But the non CPU differences (compiler / linker / OS optimizations), number of drives etc - all seem to favor x86?
Many of the entities that process transactions do fraud monitoring. Oftentimes, the fraud monitoring has different levels of time spent depending on amount: under $10 and the system just ignores it, under $1000 and a computer uses some heuristics, and above that, it might be flagged for human review. These aren't exactly 5% of the cost of the transaction, but they do show that the cost to process the transaction does increase as the amount increases, and fraud prevention, detection, and responsibility is how companies justify charging a percentage on a transaction.
Isn't that basically how Flattr works?
It's a problem of overproduction of electrical engineers by academia. I have met graduates of top-30 EE schools who work at quickie marts in North America. I'm not joking about this I was a professor at that top-30 department when I met this graduate.
Exactly, maybe I was unclear: Apple has been adding more and more background execution modes to iOS over the years, while Google has been steadily removing them from Android (and nudging developers towards GCM instead).
1. Position of elevator (the little thumb you traditionally drag up or down) shows where I'm at relative to the beginning and end of the content.

2. Size of elevator in relation to the scrollbar tells me what percentage of the content is viewable (except when the size of the elevator becomes so small it makes it unusable).

3. Up and down buttons allow a simple way to bring the next or previous item into view.

A lot of the hate of scrollbars comes from the web, where browser scrollbars could not be styled and didn't necessarily use the operating system's style. You could have a beautiful page be ruined by the default windows 3.11 style scrollbars in the browser.
There have been several projects that did exactly that. They just haven't really taken off. Like Blendle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blendle

I see they're moving to a subscription model now too in an attempt to make it more attractive.
> Today’s state-of-the-art is five-nanometre chips (though “5nm” no longer refers to the actual size of transistors as earlier generations did).

It's refreshing to see this mentioned. I'm no semiconductor expert, but it seems weird to me that although node size is measured in a physical unit, nanometers, it does not correspond to any real measurement that exists [1]. Each transistor in a 5nm chip is actually between 28 and 36 nanometers in width. It's called 5nm because of a theoretical calculation based on transistor density [2].

If Tesla advertised a new "200kWh" battery, I would be very disappointed if it turned out that the battery only held 95kWh, but the marketing department had decided that improvements in the charging network have made it "like 200kWh" compared to earlier models.

A lot of that gets to the question of what are we optimizing our k-clusters for?

The idea of geography-based representation spurs from the ideal that a representative should be able to "shake hands" with everyone they represent, right? That a townhall with one's representative might be isomorphic with one's "neighborhood meeting"?

In those cases things like "compact" serve a purpose in going back towards that "neighborhood" ideal (which arguably has never existed in US practice).

But it's 2021 and is geography and the "neighborhood" ideal still useful for us in selecting representatives? When was the last time you shook hands with your representative? When was the last time you had a neighborhood meeting where the representative just swung by for an impromptu townhall?

Maybe we should find a better optimization for our k-means clustering that isn't geography because gerrymandering seems to imply that we'll never fix geographic clustering? With tools like TV and the internet, geography may not even matter like it did to 18th century Americans. A Zoom call isn't a handshake, of course, but we have more tools for virtual shared interest groups than ever before and don't necessarily need to remain tied to the vagaries of geography.

I don't necessarily have good answers for what those metrics/optimizations could be/should look like beyond geography. All I know is that it would be hard to impossible to find good ones under the current two party system and as with most things, the blame for a lot of our problems continues to be directly on the two party system.
> Scroolbars are useful for making large coarse leaps within a page in an instant, while scroll wheels are good for accurate positioning over short distances.

That's funny. I use them in the exact opposite way.

When I want exact positioning then I will use the scrollbar. When I want to scroll past pages and pages, I will just fling the scrollwheel.

I appreciated the feedback.

I agree that my wording probably set people off-- I definitely got a bit tilted after 4 or 5 different people decided to explain to me that the problem was I just didn't get the joke. My original comment though was pretty much just noting what had been said the article though. This was deemed an attempt to start a flamewar by dang.

I think fostering a community for thoughtful and civil discussion is a noble goal. The trouble is I don't think you achieve a thoughtful discussion by labeling as inflammatory any criticism of people this community venerates.

For my side projects waiting for them to do the burstable / cheaper versions in RDS. It's a bit funny that the cheaper chip is not available in the cheaper instance options - seems like that would be a good market (whoever is too cheap to do M instances etc).

Scotland has had 'freedom to roam' laws for something like 15 years. Aside from a few "common sense" exclusions like quarries and airfields, the only real restriction is that roamers act responsibly.

Any other exclusions would need to be passed into law, which is highly unlikely to ever happen.

In practice these rights work well for everyone.

I agree people should take ownership over their decisions, but it's more nuanced than "don't cry": if someone makes a mistake/bad decision, shouldn't they warn others so they don't do the same?

And frankly, let's stop pretending the JS ecosystem is not problematic. Can anyone in good faith argue for a JS project which offers the stability, refinement, and elegance of projects available for Ruby (Rails), Python (Django), Elixir (Phoenix), etc? Even micro-frameworks like Flask, which don't include tons of batteries, are still much more dev-friendly than Node/Express/React/etc.
So many things here indicating both a strategic problem in the org and some issues with the approach. Context: I've used both React and Angular extensively on a variety of applications, for startups and the most "enterprisey" of entities claiming to be enterprisey (the government) and came from a .NET background prior.

First - GRRR. What defined this as an "enterprise" app? Facebook is an enterprise app, dude, with millions of transactions a day. Just because an app is big doesn't make it an "enterprise" app.

architect was hired from outside to create a proposal for a team that had no one capable of operating in that role (and apparently the CTO as well)

"He already has a development partner in India, but they lack experience in building web applications." - this is a massive red flag

architect was sent away to do proposals without anyone talking to the development team to get any buy-in

architect got the background of the dev team from the CTO but neither architect or CTO talked to the development team (who would be implementing) prior to doing a proposal

"the technical lead ambushes me" - this is the first time the tech lead and the "architect" interacted. There's no "ambush" here; it's a failing on the CTO+architect's part to communicate to the team in advance, and perhaps at least involve the team lead

CTO is against angular but his outsourced team is familiar with .NET and Java; why is there even a need for an "outside architect" to make this choice when it's only between React and Angular?

"the CTO is backing his team, which is normal. He had known me for just two months, while he had been working with his team for many years." - Why is no one on the CTO's team, after many years, capable of investigating and making these decisions? Why did they need to go outside? If the plan was to continue using this outsourced team, why didn't anyone invest in their training to be self-sufficient vs a direction from on high? Why was there zero training plan?

"And that’s how we end up with three ways of doing things. There is no consistency anymore." Where is the CTO during all of this?

Collaborative projects/case studies to evaluate data science hires
Keen to get your take on the feasibility of assessing new potential DS hires by giving a group of candidates who pass an initial technical test to filter out obviously weaker candidates a group project/case study to work on to gauge how well they work collaboratively. This would be a take home case study with a relatively broader problem statement.

So for example split candidates into groups of 3 and have each group work on the same case study, collaborating via GitHub and tracking their comms on Slack (obviously interacting with them regularly to give them more context) and then having them present the final output of their work (each candidate presenting a portion of what they contributed, their insights and individual interpretations). Using this presentation to ask more probing questions.

The idea about this isn't so much about having people competing against each other but understanding who works better in a term, what role they naturally lean towards to get a better feel of not only technical skills but other soft skills you cannot test in a typical interview
> There is a difference in building a car that people can drive and one that is specifically to be used as a weapon.

This sounds like an equally slippery argument: one whose premise is that weapons should never be built, and that there is no justified use for them. The unfortunate reality of the world is that we do have and require militaries with intelligence agencies.

Based on the premise of your argument, the only non-slippery, internally consistent framework is that building weapons is universally and unambiguously bad.
I'm not convinced that it needs to be internet controlled. Hopefully it uses protocols like BLE or Zigbee requiring proximity. That way such an attack would require being physically near the device.
I believe the requirement to have single-member districts was introduced with 2 U.S.C. § 2c in 1967. The name for the previous practice was "at Large" election, and the text of the law[0] includes a reference to that practice as part of a transitional measure:

"a State which is entitled to more than one Representative and which has in all previous elections elected its Representatives at Large may elect its Representatives at Large to the Ninety-first Congress"

That's been true since 1984 (and whenever Windows caught up ;) ). The enthusiast/hobbyist sector has long been a small minority of the computer buying public.
that's how it has always been. There isn't a system out there that does theming where some apps won't be left out. It's practically impossible. Even dark mode on iOS doesn't work on every app. And then there is Android... which is just unspeakably bad at all things UX.
I ended up trying Solus.

It turns out I can't install it, because the installer bundles an old version of the nouveau driver, the nouveau driver crashes on my hardware, they've deleted the nvidia driver package for the version of Solus that's on the ISO (along with every other package), and there's no terminal-mode installer or any other workaround.

If you want to install Solus, and the year-old installer doesn't work in GUI mode, then you're SOL.

The First Amendment's Freedom of the Press protections align with this outcome. It is intentional that the President isn't able to force the President to cover him. The government isn't supposed to be able to force the press on what they must say any more than it may force them on what they cannot say; these two compulsions are two sides of the same coin.

It's an extraordinary circumstance when it's not in the press's best interest to report on press conferences (i.e. it's generally newsworthy information being freely handed out), and this was an extraordinary presidency.
To me this seems overly simplified. I'm sure there are other situations. I.e. I'm sure sometimes it's "pick three", "pick one", "you don't get to choose", or even "pick none".

And also, if you get a choice of "pick two", you could also: "pick one, balance the other two", "balance all three", etc.

Finally, high risk seems tied to high stress, as also mentioned in sibling comment [1].
