As someone rounding off 20 years in this industry, I'll advise you that it is a _lot_ smaller than you think. Some of the people I've met or worked with early in my career are big names now due to blogging, writing, starting companies, etc.

When I interviewed for my current job, it turned out that I had separate, personal, previous-work-experience connections to all four of my interviewers and it only surfaced during each of the interviews.

And this is after changing my role/specialty.

----

And along these lines, be careful who you shit on in this industry and be default-nice to everyone. I'll never forget one role I had that was fully remote where I was mentoring a guy who was a bit on the weaker side technically for the job that we were doing. Everyone else was constantly telling him that he sucked and was pushing him to quit.

It turns out that he was learning the ropes to transition to a huge leadership role in the company and no one knew it. He had previously led an entire division of a massive computer manufacturer, but 2008 wiped out most of his retirement and he had to come back to work. The very first thing that he did with his new responsibility once his role was announced was to give me a huge promotion to work directly under him with no interview.

It's a laborious process that has a significant impact on tone. You usually have to restring the guitar when you change them out.

The biggest change would be between dual coils ("humbuckers") and true single coils. Most modern humbuckers have four leads (you only need two to make a sound, you get two leads per coil) which allow you to wire a switch on the guitar called a "coil tap" which allows you to disengage the secondary coil. This allows you to have a dual coil that functions sonically as either, and it is very desirable for musicians that need a diverse range of tones for their set list (good example is if you ever play a wedding and take requests).

You're also never happy with it. I've changed all the pups on my three guitars multiple times.

MythBusters notwithstanding I have an RF burn on one of my fingers that was barely visible at the surface when it happened but which totally cooked the tissue up to about 6 millimeters inwards. It's a pretty weird spot, 2.5 mm across and even 35 years later it hasn't healed, the zone is simply dead to the touch even though the flesh has recovered. You can also still see exactly the shape of the original burn.

Note to self: pay attention when trimming HF transmitters about where you keep stray digits and where the locations of the tops of trimmers are relative to those digits.

Exactly. Everyone that matters is putting their energy towards creating incentives and software that allows for similar security and confidence of crypto networks, while using less energy.
Oh man yeah avocados from that particular area so good. I grew up in Ojai and ones grown in the area were miles ahead of anything the stores sell.

I also cringe when I see people pressing their thumbs into them at the store.
They still have a number of issues.

* They're expensive (~4-8 dollars per follicle) with a single transplant being 1000-5000 follicles. Severely bald men may need multiple

* There is a finite number of follicles that can be transplanted.

* Permanent scarring in the donor zone.

The ultimate treatment would be either hair cloning (still a ways out, very expensive) or a way to reactivate the dormant follicles. Presumably if you could solve the latter you would become very rich very quickly.

If you make your quotes small enough you can make them mean anything, but I invite you to go take a look at the dissertation. "large-grained resources" does not mean "compound documents", the REST dissertation has no comment on compound documents or anything that resembles the concept, which came along later. It doesn't forbid them or allow them, but many of the concepts of REST suggest otherwise.

Beyond whether its RESTful API or not (grey area) it adds headaches, and is rather unnecessary with good API design anyway, which is what this article was about.

More importantly, compound documents mess with the "cacheability" of resources. A resource cannot declare its own cacheability (which REST suggests) through the uniform interface when its munged into a mismatch of other data. A foo and a bar and a baz are now all cached in together under the same headers with the same /foo?include=bar,baz identifer, meaning that if a bar is likely to change often you have to request the whole thing again. This is one of many reasons compound documents are a pain in the ass, but there are plenty more.

Fastly wrote about all this: https://www.fastly.com/blog/optimise-api-cache-improved-perf...

> The current praise of HTTP/2 as a major win for REST APIs shows how differently "REST" is understood by its proponents today compared to its original meaning. If doing REST today is about doing the opposite of what it was intended to do, it also raises the question why do we believe we get the same benefits REST did for its original definition? A quick read shows we don't, but the cultural ingraining in favor of "believing" is huge.

This whole paragraph makes no sense. I have been making APIs since ~2008 so let's not act like I'm brand new at this.

The point I was making here is that in the past people have moaned about REST because "making lots of requests is slow", which is a common comment from people who generally build their APIs poorly not taking into consideration what the consumers would be doing and just flopped out a very normalized database and forced clients to construct their own data models from that. It's also a concern from people who havent got the first clue what HATEOAS means or how it can help abstract state from multiple clients up into the backend. They just see it as "having to make more requests".

Now that the fear of multiple requests is subsiding, the exact same concepts that made REST beneficial for many APIs in the HTTP/1.x past exist now, they're just quicker in HTTP/2. And they're quicker in HTTP/3. REST and HTTP just get quicker and more useful over time.

That's not quite true - HIV of course mutates but in-patient mutations are generally considered to have a negligible effect on outcomes/have a negligible effect as a driver of morbidity .

What is the big driver of HIV is in the name, it's a Immunodeficiency virus - it kills CD4+ T cells and other cells of the immune system. At a certain point you don't have enough CD4+ T cells left and you lose your adaptive/cell-mediated immune system and then you're in big trouble. Essentially it's a war of attrition and unless you're part of some tiny proportion of people who have either a form of immunity against it or an immune system that for whatever reason is able to continue waging war on it then you will succumb
I guess they don't realize that "being able to afford" implies land which should be used for to produce staple foods for the poor in the producing countries is used to produce foods which Westerners can do without.

Why should Nigeria import rice and wheat and export avocados her citizens don't need, because the avocado farmers can retain export proceeds abroad, while the food importers profit from subsidized basic foods produced in the West?
In a similar vein, I've mentioned this before, but if you're doing Python stuff, you can use the apsw package (not the one in PyPi, though) to write a VFS layer that SQLite will use to read the database.

I've used this for the same basic idea as this article, only letting me store SQLite databases in AWS's S3 that I can access with AWS APIs so they don't need to be public. It works well, though it's absolutely not for every use case, the overhead is considerable.

I even used it once to read SQLite database files in a zip file stored in S3 without having any local storage to use. Not one of my prouder moments, but hey, I coded my way out of the corner someone else designed for me.

Yeah, that diagram is problematic. It’s like the anti drug ads that said if you smoke pot, you find gangsters who pay out to Colombian drug lords, who also finance other parties who handle the money for terrorists so at the end of a long chain of events college stoners fund terrorism.

Your problem wasn't an issue with copyright but with YouTube's approach to handling copyright.
The CO2 that oil / coal / gas emit is "new" CO2 that the atmosphere never had, while most 'natural' CO2 & methane emissions gets recycled in a 10 year cycle, so it doesn't add to the net CO2 to the atmospheric systems.

On the other hand, agriculture emissions coming from animals and plant decomposition is small amount of agriculture's emissions in general anyway, so sequestering carbon is a bad reason to not compost, because of all the fertilizer benefits it creates, which means less need for artificialy created fertilizer. About %50 of fertilizer is the natural poop & compost kind.

I'm an electric bassist, and springy pickups unnerve me. For one thing, I sometimes rest my thumb on the pickup. So I've replaced the springs with hard spacers, cut to the desired length. As a result, my pickups are solid, and not adjustable.

For another thing, the foam turns into goo after 40 years, which is how long it's been since I set up the instrument.
The whole "REST is good and everything else is dumb" is something I've tried to help people get away from for about a decade. These days it's GraphQL is good and everything else is dumb. See some of the comments in here.

> It's a clear method to milk consumers and they can hardly justify the benefit in most cases.

For a second there, before I'd fully parsed your sentence, I read "milk consumers" as "consumers of milk", and all kind of wild ideas started running through my head: "What, they're going to implement the cartridge scam with MILK?!? How's that going to work -- the carton is connected to the Internet, sends a notification somewhere every time I open it, and I get billed according to the number of times, or...?" Then I realized "milk" was a verb here. Whew!

OK, so call me paranoid... But still: I think the fact that the idea even occurred to me says something not only about me, but about the current state of the world.
At least it's better than nothing.
Allowing companies like Facebook, Google and Epic to skip App Store will end up with users having less choice, not more really.

Right now you can choose an open platform, where Google, Facebook and Epic do what they want, or a closed platform that forces them to play by certain rules regarding privacy and whatnot.

The moment you allow direct installs of the apps, all the big players will remove themselves from the store and prepare a versions with looser privacy standards (FB & Google), or ones that show you popups for other stuff and use processing power in the background (Epic).

The Kumbh Mela is definitely a super-spreader. The increased case numbers in Karnataka can be attributed to the local body elections held there. Moreover, with around 8 months to go for election, UP is actually under-reporting and fudging the figures of its COVID cases.

It makes a big difference if you have a good amp that doesn't have a dull preamp stage. Some of the newer tube designs are extremely responsive to a change in how they're loaded (same goes for all the shitty unbuffered drive pedals that inexplicably sound good).

In my rig I have an SSH guitar with a higher output neck and bridge with a coil tap and run it straight into a blackstar HT40. The pickup selection and volume knob give me all my clean/dirty/overdriven tones without pedals, so there's less noise and less that can fail. It would be really hard to achieve that without the time I spent to find a set of pickups that works.
I assume the "" are relevant in "polite" "respectful" (i.e. a culture thats only very superficially so/only when it is convenient), and that's very much in conflict with open debate.

My understanding is that the way they intend to operate it, the coin will start out rather highly valued, won't have too much capacity to grow in value, and the number of coins that can be "farmed" is already known, and will reduce in the future. At the rate it's growing, it'll probably be at the point where it isn't worth it to buy new SSDs for this sometime this week or next. And it will likely rapidly get to a point where it isn't worth it to buy HDD soon thereafter.

19.7.1 Compatibility with HTTP/1.0 Persistent Connections

Some clients and servers may wish to be compatible with some previous
implementations of persistent connections in HTTP/1.0 clients and
servers. Persistent connections in HTTP/1.0 must be explicitly
negotiated as they are not the default behavior. HTTP/1.0
experimental implementations of persistent connections are faulty,
and the new facilities in HTTP/1.1 are designed to rectify these
problems. The problem was that some existing 1.0 clients may be
sending Keep-Alive to a proxy server that doesn't understand
Connection, which would then erroneously forward it to the next
inbound server, which would establish the Keep-Alive connection and
result in a hung HTTP/1.0 proxy waiting for the close on the
response. The result is that HTTP/1.0 clients must be prevented from
using Keep-Alive when talking to proxies.

One real issue here is Slack being used for a RFC rather than something like a github issue.

Slack is a great medium for realtime chatting but someone jumping into a conversation without context is exactly where it falls down. "Ubuntu is doomed" is exactly the sort of comment someone skimming to catch up will fixate on and jump to a conclusion - even with a code of conduct...

You need a place for conversations to exist that promotes asynchronous communication. A github issue is a nice starting point since someone can create a summary at the top. The summary can be continuously updated. And an intentionally slower/more thought out discussion can follow.

"RFC: Company$ moving away from ubuntu" is exactly the sort of productive GH issue I've seen at past companies.

Of course GH issues regularly devolve - lots of examples dropped into HN over the years where people get angry/inappropriate at some poor open source maintainer, but it is still an improvement over slack.
