>> If many understand the same thing, then she is a good writer. If we all think we understood different things, then you are a good reader.

If I may be a bit dogmatic, I think literary writing is the polar opposite of technical writing. Technical writing must be as precise and unambiguous as possible so that every reader unerstands the same thing on reading; even if it takes careful, even painstaking reading, even if it takes a large amount of background knowledge to actually be able to understand what is written (think of difficult and convoluted mathematical proofs of theories in obscure sub-fields of which there are very few experts).

Literary writing on the other hand, fails if it invokes the same feelings and images in more than one person. Good literary writing should be different for every reader, so that the relation between the reader and the written piece becomes something unique and personal for every separate reader.

This last point is lost in the way that literature is taught at schools. At school, the teacher reads a passage from some literary work, asks the students for their interpretation, then proceeds to (more or less subtly) teach the "right" interpretation. This is horribly confusing to anyone who really likes reading exactly for the freedom to interpret everything as they like, and to form their own, their very own, emotions and images.

I remember this from high school. We were given reading assignments of books such as "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" or "The Little Prince" and then spent a couple of lectures disucssing them in the format above. For me, Jonathan Livingston Seagull was all about the society of sea birds and other animals. I remember wondering, "how do the seagulls know how an owl's mind works. How about eagles"? But the book was clearly written by an author who had an entirely different idea in mind. And it was taught by a teacher who also had a completely different one, also. But somehow everybody missed the point: we're all sweeping our eyes over the same text, but each one of us is reading a different story. This attempt to shoehorn everyone's mind into boring conformity irked me back then and I rebelled against it, of course.

Anyway, what I'm saying is the OP may be under the spell of the literary teachers who try to tell you, you should always read something specific in literary writing. You shouldn't. If you don't find anything in a piece of writing, then there wasn't anything there for you. Try somewhere else. Somewhere, someone has left something just for you. Probably. If not, oh well. Life goes on.

Confronting Richard Heart of HEX - SPAM KING and Crypto Scammer

https://www.cointelligence.com/content/confronting-richard-h...

So will you again confirm what the article claims you already confirmed?

>Richard Heart was sued for spamming in 2002 under WA state law. Source: https://www.zdnet.com/article/peacefire-org-beats-spammers-i...

>During the interview at ANON, Richard confirmed that he was one of the first people in the world to be sued for online spam, back in 2002. This shows us Richard has experience abusing unregulated markets, as he is doing with crypto these days.

Is this an accurate quote of your own words?

>When I pressed the matter and asked for a simple “yes” or “no” as to whether he, as the FOUNDER of HEX, knows who benefits from the funds sent to the “Origin Address” he flat-out said “I’m dodging your question.” Dodging the question! He proceeds to repeat “Dodge, dodge.”
That's exactly the case but on average the total mined coins must be distributed proportionally to the miners workload since the possibility to strike a block is correlated with the hash-rate which is correlated with energy consumption. They also do pooling to ease the distribution.

Thanks! Just curious why logging hours is a red flag for you?

Well, I myself hate logging hours. But I think it's a personal issue of mine.

In short, it's maybe my ego thing. I somehow hate when people measure my minutes. I know what I do and I can manage any task they give me, quickly. But I hate when someone asks: "how many hours did you exactly work yesterday".

I finished all necessary tasks and a bit more :D like what's your problem with my hours?

But I know. I can be a complicated person in that sense...

Yes, but in practice precedence has some informal weight even in civil law systems.

(And in the same spirit, precedence can be overridden relatively easily in a common law system, too, the judge just has to find an obscure aspect of the new case that allows her to argue that the old cases don't apply.)
Alright, that's a decent point. KN94 is cloth, after all, and it's what I use. I was using "cloth mask" colloquially to refer to the masks made of ordinary cloth which have become pretty much standard uniform in the parts of the US with mask mandates. You can do a little better with multiple layers and tighter weaves, but, not much. If it's not specifically designed to filter particles as small as aerosols, it won't, and if it doesn't have a number after its name, it isn't so designed.

I don't think it's accurate to say that those are better than nothing. The false sense of security could easily lead to people staying longer indoors, or entering indoor spaces which they would consider dangerous if they didn't have the misconception that cloth masks protect them. It's a very small amount of protection, so it doesn't take much moral hazard to overwhelm it.

Could you maybe get a little less sick, if say 10% less viral aerosols passed through the mask? Ok, if I'm going to be very generous, sure. At the margins, someone is going to inhale a sub-infectious dose of aerosol who would have gotten a just-barely-infectious aerosol dose.

But this is like talking about condoms with holes in them. Most of the semen would stay in! It's not as pregnancy inducing as going bare! But I wouldn't call it birth control either.

I love that it's just markdown. It makes it super simple to render it as documentation. However, that comes with the cost of being less structurally defined. Most editors will flag out of place yaml. They will not complain about out of place markdown.

Some people are (unfortunately) desperate enough for work that they won't refuse a job despite the lack of a dosimeter. Which is why you should legislate that power plants must give dosimeters to their employees -- to ensure that those who cannot refuse cannot be placed in that position in the first place.

And this is entirely common-sense -- if a company doesn't provide protections for its workers, "just don't work there" won't solve the problem of the company not protecting the workers it does have. The workers who can refuse to work will (probably) do so, the company will then hire more desperate people, and the steady-state of this system is that such companies will be full of people who were unable to refuse -- thus the company can just continue not protecting its employees. This is basically the fundamental argument behind all employment protections -- substitute "dosimeters" for "lunch breaks", "minimum wage", "paid leave", or "overtime pay" and the same argument applies.
Jurisprudence doesn’t necessarily imply a legal system where a legal precedent carries outsize weight, so I don’t quite get what you mean by it being a natural law.

Assuming EV purchases on average replace existing cars not add new ones. (They do in a long run)

Energy usage:

Before buying an EV: X with Y convertible to green. After buying an EV: X with Y+d convertible to green.

Before a new miner starting: X with Y convertible to green. After: X+d with Y+d convertible to green.

It doesn't matter if the new miner is running 100% green, because they still use energy which could instead replace some amount of fossil fuels. We're not really isolated in this context - all of us suffer from not removing the reliance on burning coal.

IMHO, The market dominance of features provided by big tech companies like google and many other companies which provides something as a service must be consciously evaluated whenever product (and its new releases with new features) hits the market.

Big tech companies like google have too much monopoly. Each country deserve their own local vendors who are responsible for creation and operation of platform. Restricting the scope of some technology platform as service especially to a particular nation or even states can help build local jobs, also keeping the sentiments for that region.

On international level if someone wants to succeed they must be allowed but should be given limited access in each country/state by the government from very start, so that they don't overpower the local market.

I didn't just read it online- this is based on my experience as a UK citizen who used to live and work in Manhattan a lot up to 2 years ago (think: not permanently but enough in any given year to have to pay Federal and NY state income tax). More than once I saw people do this to buy sandwiches in the financial district and near to Madison square park, and I've even see people pay for groceries by cheque and get cash back the way that that people used to before ATMs existed. I can dimly remember my parents doing this maybe 40 years ago but have certainly never done myself. I was also for some time the unhappy owner of an extremely small number of shares and the company insisted on sending me my dividend (less than $5) every quarter by cheque.

When I opened my US bank account they asked me how many cheques I wanted "to get started". I said none. Like why would I ever use one for anything? I don't use a quill pen either.
> When I've been micro-optimizing performance-critical code, integer division shows up as a hot spot regularly.

Now I'm really curious. In my experience, integer division practically never happens (except by powers of 2 that are easily optimized down to a shift), to the point where I was frowning in puzzlement about why Apple spent resources optimizing it.

How is the code you are looking at, bottlenecking on integer division? What on earth is it doing, to make that a frequent operation?

I haven't really seen that example in the doc or elsewhere, and I don't understand the steps required to make such example work offline or without a webserver.

I think it's a good analogy.

Ideally something like this should make it into a law or something similar, because trusting FB to do the right thing is probably not the way to go.

I think it makes sense since it is completely driven by its config and adheres to the Unix philosophy of doing one thing well and not clutter the binary with additional stuff for fringe use cases. It would make the now surprisingly simple cli arguments more complex.

This patch brings XDP RX to 4.2Mpps which is nice.

In 2015 high-speed networking was targeting 10G line rate, i.e. 14.8Mpps. Today the NICs are 100G (42Mpps), next year it will be 400G.

I'm not sure how the kernel is expected to follow with the pace. Those NICs will offer offloads, so static network functions should be accelerated without involving the CPU. Still, it seems software-based networking will never be able to catch up.

DPDK and userland solutions in general are able to scale better. At least for DPDK, depending on the workload an L2 forwarding function can do 14.8 Mpps on a single core, and supposed to scale linearly (so 4 cores for a 100G L2 fwd?).

However I've yet to see a TCP implementation able to scale linearly. DPDK in used generally for middleboxes, not endpoints, where scaling TCP has different challenges (handling a socket state with a single RSS dispatch vs. two RSS dispatch I guess).

So what does it say about the future of SDN? Will it be able to keep pace with hardware network functions? A pure kernel-based approach would be nice but it seems impossible. On userland side the industry is not there yet in open-source, as far as I know. There are probably proprietary stacks able to do this, but I don't know them.

It's not a fundamental thing it's just that looking at the per-transaction energy cost really puts things in perspective. And 500kWh is hard to comprehend so I like to put it in perspective by comparing it to locomotives. An F40PH, which is a very common American passenger locomotive as seen on Caltrain, Amtrak, Metra and the MBTA puts out about 2.4MW at full blast. So, just under 5 transactions per hour, per locomotive. It's staggering.
