That's what I grew up on too. However a bit of thought shows that to be not quite but close to bollocks. People even swim the Channel!

Fast shallow draught boats, well navigated can whizz over by oar and or sail in a few hours or a day or two at worst. Top Gear sent some pretty dodgy aquavans over in one program. Even I've sailed a 28 footer over to France.

Compare that to trying to walk say from Yeovil to Exeter in the SW of England. It's about 40-50 miles. Nowadays you drive via the A303/A30 or A303/A358/M5 and it takes an hour or so. Back then you have the Blackdown hills to get over and a lot of muddy tracks. I think you'd hope to get to Crewkerne or Ilminster on day one. Then Honiton on day two and then Exeter on day three. That's on foot. On horseback you could probably do it in one day and with a mule or cart probably two days. All of those towns existed back then and earlier.

The Armada was something else - huge galleons outmaneuvered by our smaller boats - once the formation was broken it was a bit horrid for them. The Spaniards had a professional admiral who knew his stuff but a wanker of a noble put in charge who made some daft decisions. Also they were supposed to meet up with a land force in Flanders to transport over to England and that did not go well. The weather did favour the English as well. Once the formation was broken they tried to go around the British Isles anti-clockwise to try and get back to Spain, which as you say means seeing some of the nastiest weather and conditions we have to offer. Quite a few spaniards who managed to make it ashore in one piece settled here and there and improved the local genetic diversity 8) QE1 refused to pay our navy, despite they had saved the nation. Back then the navy was quite heavily privatised - Sir F Drake was known as a pirate in the Caribbean or a good English patriot depending on your point of view.
This is a total failure to follow any sort of standard.

A ULA prefix is, properly, 48 bits long -- `fd` plus 40 bytes of random data. Using the full 32 bits of IPv4 means that you'll be using only 24 bytes of randomness there.

Does this matter? Probably not. But when I have the option, I like to conform to the RFCs.

Is there a way of saving vi-style "marks" with a file so that each time I open the file, I have the marks I set the last time.

This just saves the less search history for the file, so each time I open the file I have the searches I have made previously.

x=${0##*/};
y=${0%/*};

I don't know about most people but devs should have their own personal knowledge management system ( do it on any tool, notion, evernote..) but it's an absolute must. These facts you talk about are fleeting and in the moment the revelations of the learnings seem so clear, but 4 weeks and all the little details go out the window. Save all your little Linux command pipe chains. Config values that worked and few sentences of caution to your future self of what to do and not to do. Otherwise you're just going to make the same mistakes in an years time...
This starts off as a bit of a rant, but skipping ahead to “Stop the Magic”, the author lays out the concept of market externalities, and government’s necessary duty to manage them, rather well.
Not sure if it was a typo, but I think you’re looking for the word “anecdotal” not “antidotal” (coming from someone who messes these kinda things up all the time)
There's a theme in this discussion that ML operators will just train new models on adversarially perturbed data. I don't think this is necessarily true at all!

The proliferation of tools like this and the "LowKey" paper/tool linked below (an awesome paper!) will fundamentally change the distribution of image data that exists. I think that widespread usage of this kind of tool should trend towards increasing the irreducible error of various computer vision tasks (in the same way that long term adoption of mask wearing might change the maximum accuracy of facial recognition).

Critically, while right now the people who do something like manipulate their images will probably be very privacy conscious or tech-interested people, tools like this seriously lower the barrier to entry. It's not hard to imagine a browser extension that helps you perturb all images you upload to a particular domain, or something similar.
There's a difference between being romantic about solving puzzles and creating new and useful tools, and being romantic about the drudgery and bugs. I wouldn't call the people who pretend there aren't boring parts of programming 'romantics', it's more of a delusion. But those people do exist, and I don't trust them.

Evolution is alive and well. Drunk driving for example kills young people. Disease similarly kills plenty of people to kick evolution into action. Suicide is tragic enough people don’t think of it as evolutionary pressure, but dead is dead.

Etc. Etc. It’s not as obvious as dealing with actual lions, but the developed world is well below the replacement rate. That’s some serious evolutionary pressure.
Anyone has experience working at Facebook?

I'm asking because I'm having a hard time thinking of a person that would do things that Facebook does...
You insinuated it, though, by claiming that it wasn't a security problem as it required root. If you think failure to encrypt (leaking the passphrase) is not a problem because the exploit requires root, then you understand absolutely nothing about security.

By the way, the reason why I mentioned this particular example is that it almost certainly proves malicious intent. It is not credible that a team of security engineers at Apple developed file vault without thinking at all about locking memory for the passphrase and then continued not to think about it for years. They basically only fixed it (and first even in the wrong way) after it became folklore on every second Mac fan site. (Lost your file vault password? Don't despair: Just copy & paste this in the terminal.)

There is 0 reason to trust Apple on security.
I find the choice of business model very strange. The free software philosophy allows game art to be proprietary. They could sell DRM-free copies on their site that license the game art but keep the code free. I'm not sure why they don't do this.
I've never tried bombas wool, but I have a pair of bombas socks which were gifted to me, and other than being quite tight, they are serviceable. Make sure you get a large enough size.

Bombas are one of the few brands I would recommend to anyone because they donate one pair of socks for each that you buy.
You're very welcome :-)

This suggestion may be much more practical to implement: I highly recommend RescueTime. This implementation is likely one of the best ways to go:

It's a complicated relationship, but yes stocks generally perform well in inflationary environments, certainly better than bonds which unequivocally get crushed. However, often what happens along with rate increases is tighter lending standards, increased borrowing costs, less ability to refinance at attractive rates, etc. It's also more difficult to raise equity when investors have reasonable alternatives in other asset classes. Suddenly investors start caring about tired and old things like "valuation" again, and "price to eyeballs" or "tweets per minute" matter less.

For companies that have been riding the wave of free money in perpetuity, that's a bitter pill to swallow - when it's time to refinance they aren't prepared to pay the new bill. More dangerously, they simply may not be able to refinance at all if credit markets dry up (2008), and that is when it gets really ugly.

Stock prices are as high as they are right now because there are no reasonable alternatives. It's the "least bad" option.
Hey, thanks for sharing this. Mind expanding? I'm curious to hear what you had planned going into retirement and what you seek going back to work. Are you right back to the same as you were right before "retiring"? Knowing how your first round of retirement went, what would you have done differently in the years/decades leading up to it?

This makes no sense. Their competition from week 2 at least, Moderna and Oxford, were already capable of transport and storage at regular freezer temps.

Johnson and Johnson doesn’t add easier temps to the mix. It adds the fact that it’s a single dose vaccine to the environment.

If you did think it was competitive pressure that was driving it then you should be suspicious about the Israeli studies that show that a single dose of thrnPfizer vaccine is 85% effective upto 4 months later.
I agree with your points with a couple of caveats. I've written a lot of terrible code. For the good stuff it's usually not the existing lines of code or structure that are butchered rather the additions which do not follow the spirit of the original code. That ranges from trivialities such as code style of another developer or more serious issues of making a mess to fit a completely orthogonal new requirement, not utilizing existing functionality rather just doing similar things in different ways etc. In such cases a small refactor would suffice but that almost never happens due to time constraints.

On the topic of overly complex stuff not being touched, I find that's usually because no one understands it and hence others refrain from touching it lest it break.

If you want to guard against inflation gold certainly seems better than BTC.

The system and forces that make this table scrap arrangement possible are the same forces that generally drive the salaries and perks of tech workers much higher than the average for other professions. It's healthy to be cynical but it's also important to look at the overall balance of power of the social classes. The 9% versus 90% makes more sense than the 99%

What's your point? He can be short without betting on a 90% drop, my reply was strictly pointing out that his claim wasn't necessarily that a drop of that magnitude would happen, but if it did that the economic fallout on the rest of the system would be nil.
LOL @ the downvotes. Not sure why, what orev said is true - taxing externalities is generally considered (at least by economists) the best way to manage the externality. Set the tax at a level that makes it cost prohibitive to use plastics and the market will find an alternative.

disposing of plastics isn't so simple. burning plastic for energy is ok for some plastics, but plastics that contain chlorides produce dangerous gases. we don't have cost effective ways to capture those gases. even if we addressed that issue, the economics of w2e are poorer than those of landfills.
It is very strange that nobody is talking about the dramatic effects of the collapse of the Soviet Union. I believe that the collapse is comparable to the post-colonisation effects.

Nobody is talking about the millions of people who got their lives destroyed. Science ended in nothing. Careers disappeared. The GDP took 20 years to recover as it plummeted to the 1960s levels after the collapse. This all was celebrated as "great victory" of freedom and the free markets, ignoring the grandparents of the 1990s who hanged themselves because there was no money to pay anything.

This "Fialka" mentioned in the article is just another artifact of the big mistake we are continuing to do and are still not realizing that we were wrong in the way we treated the countries and people after the collapse. Funny enough that exactly this arrogant behavior has lead to leaders like Xi, who is so consumed by the effects of the collapse of the Soviet Union that directly impacts relationships we believe that matter, e.g. Hong Kong, Taiwan and Xinjiang with their Uighurs.

the mutants spreading fast, they are hard to spot since they are not yet dominating and we didn't do much PCR-sequencing in the past (so we have to extrapolate from the few areas that have reliable data). We appear to already have an R-value over one and the probable cause are the mutants. A simple model predicts a significant rise in cases around march the 7th.
Yes, assuming you're actually linked to the actual spot price. Too much supply means we need to increase demand, so go create demand!
Ah yes, the appeal to authority argument. I can’t have anything valuable to say because I am not an authority.

I am sure running a power grid with thousands of producers and millions of consumers is incredibly complex. Did you know every wind turbine and generator is spinning exactly in sync across the whole grid. I am amazed that it works.

What obviously does not work is the libertarian fantasy of live market pricing for turning generators on and off. What are the chances of rolling blackouts on Monday as oil cracking plants come online to take advantage of free power?
Hum, how so? If a number is represented by an aleph-0 digits (in decimal system), it is clearly countable, since aleph-0 is a countable infinity (equivalent to the infinity of natural numbers).
Instagram launched iPhone only and was iPhone only for 2 years

We’re not talking about long term - this is just about when you’re doing the bare minimum to get going, as all startups must.

You can launch a successful app iPhone only. You can’t launch a successful app android only (happy to be enlightened if you can prove me wrong with an example).

Startups only have limited development resources. So what do you do? Many decide to do iPhone only - in the beginning

You’re missing the point about iPhone being easier to develop for. Yeah anyone is free to develop android, but the android ecosystem is a mess. So many versions of android with varying features and so many phones to test on. Some stuck on decade older software. Whereas on iOS 90% of people are on the latest OS and 99% are only 1 or 2 steps behind with VERY similar features. There’s only 2 shapes of phone with another 2 sizes. My iPhone test setup is my iPhone 12 max and an old iPhone 6S. If it works on both of those I know I’m good. Developing for android is just much more time consuming.

I really don’t know why this is controversial. As you say, Clubhouse are a business and they do want to compete with FB Insta twitter etc. For them going iPhone first must therefore be a rational choice. I’m just trying to explain that choice rationally.

If you think this is wrong, what’s your reasoning for them then? Do you think they’re just snooty and letting that get in the way of sound logic?
That was me as well, though I wrote it in perl4 and C. My version was called NSElite. The Solaris kernel was developed under NSElite, some stuff is here:

http://mcvoy.com/lm/nselite

2000.txt documents the first 2000 resyncs (think bk pull) of the kernel.

Avocet was what you got when you took all my perl code and handed it to the tools group and they rewrote it in C++ (which they later admitted was a horrible idea). The only thing of mine that they kept was smoosh.c and that was because not a single one of them had the chops to write that code (yeah, there was no love lost between me and the tools group).

BitKeeper is what Avocet could have been if Sun had not stopped me from doing any more work on NSElite (I was 1 guy who was coding circles around 8 tools people and they didn't like it). Shrug. C++ was just wrong, perl4 was just way faster to code in, and when I needed performance I coded in C. It's not my fault they picked the wrong way to go about things. (That, BTW, was the first time I ever personally saw that you really can have one guy who can do the work of 8, almost, but not quite a 10x programmer :-)

Why post this link? I only have first-hand experience reading Twitter threads on PC and phone (official app and web view), but in all cases it's just as easy to follow as the page you linked. (Except for the Georgia font - the typography is consistently better on the official sources.)

The site you linked served me a huge ad. Will the author of the tweets ever see a single cent of the revenue my hypothetical ad click would have earned them? Of course not.

Let's say I am an investigative reporter, looking for the original source of information that I saw in a tweet. Forget it, I'm not. Let's say instead that I sometimes like to check if I can poke holes in a news story I see during my morning scan of HN headlines. I'm sorry, I can't set the bar any lower. I think you need to be a corporation to be able to set bars lower than this. To my surprise, the site you linked did have a direct link to the first tweet of the thread it was displaying. It was embedded in the timestamp, styled to be shown in a small font, faint gray, no underline. The embodiment of "fine print". I was looking specifically for it, and it still took a spelunking session in the HTML code to figure out where the link was.

The site you linked is bad. Unless you have good reasons to, please stop posting links to it. Thanks.

Great job! If you are not a developer, what is your motivation for doing the tech side of the project? Are you looking to become one? You appear to have invested time to learn the tech.

The reason I ask is HN is a great community that may provide valid advice as towards the direction you would like to pursue in dev ( if you so desire ).

I found a book that I've added to my list, so thanks again.
I think it would be useful in the classroom when learning about maps. Everyone will learn and become familiar with the other projections, but this projection shows how distorted the others are. It would be good to know the (more) true size of landmasses early on.

Having it flat on paper can be more useful for classrooms that do not have a globe. And even if they have a globe, it's something that can be photocopied for every student to have. Also, I feel like it's easier for people to internalize the sizes when it's flat on paper vs looking at a globe.
I've read a bit about the scientology cult and their hypnosis technique seems similar. This article mentions that the sleeping person hears the command or question as a megaphone type of sound definitely coming from outside the dream. Perhaps an average person perceives such a "megaphone narrator" as trustworthy and remembers the heard commands as important.

"it’s just a game of fixing things"

25+ years in, I get little joy/fun from constantly 'fixing things' that shouldn't have needed fixing (or nearly as much fixing) had people planned ahead, or communicated, or tested, or just listened to the people they'd hired that do these things (plan/communicate/test/etc).
The slow vaccination is not really the fault of our german politicians and the situation is improving (since the negotiation was EU-wide). Also, some of the setbacks were hard to forecast, it's always easy in hindsight. The actual vaccination infrastructure is running quite smoothly, we just lack the vaccines so far.
I think “flexibility” is a more apt word choice.
Why do you hate ERCOT?

I ask because I broadly understand ERCOT to have delivered the lowest prices and the highest reliability over the last decade. A far better outcome than PJM or CALISO.

Or... we could not use so much plastic, and make actual bricks to build ‘millions of houses’.

Since you sound so excited, are you going to live in the first plastic house with your family?

I think suggestions like this are super demeaning. I often see them coming from privileged knowledge workers, who are eager to share ‘free ideas‘/psuedo-solutions as a sort of ‘charity’ for poor people (and people in the global south). They are also often strategies which somehow don’t seem to fit for their own life - and instead are for ‘others’ who are less well off.

In other words: tech solutionism.

As knowledge workers, let’s try to cut through our false consciousness and come up with some awesome systemic changes that kick butt.
