I think probably yes. In Erlang world though you get so much for free with beam that it changes your worldview a bit. Say you're writing, I dunno, a spring boot api to expose some db records as a service and suddenly this api is getting hot on the network... Now you need more than one of them, so suddenly state comes into play, maybe sessions, and so on.. With Erlang, you can take your single node app and reasonably trivially make it run on 30 nodes.. There are gotchas, of course, but the quote is quite good: "Any sufficiently complicated server backend contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Erlang."
I have a college and graduate degree. At a previous job, on my team of 6, I had 50% of the higher education degrees :)
This reminds me of the ancient Egypt where different factions of priests and governors fought for power by promoting their favorite gods to the "true and supreme" god of all. These days in America one faction is pushing a awkward "woke cult" and another faction has just realized that they gotta push back. Edit: one difference is that today information spreads instantaneously and cults don't live long for this reason.
Like the fact only view, hard numbers.

Would be good to include intensity, durations, wind speeds, categories distributions, etc.etc. to get full and more accurate picture.
Daddy Warbucks Versus Tony Stark and who has the Biggest Rocket contest! I'll go with Stark's track record there on Internet Satellite numbers launched and actual Humans placed in orbit all while landing so many first stages for reuse there and saving billions in launch costs over the longer term there.

Stark has the Economy of scale in the Space Transportation and related industries(internet Satellites/Humans to the ISS/Other payloads) market and is so very far ahead and at such an affordable cost to orbit that the Utility of that can not be disregarded.

Let's measure success in costs per pound/kilogram to orbit there and see who's making the most progress in that all important metric!

Daddy Warbucks appears to be in with the Milking to nowhere crowd and really what's that track record again there Daddy-O!
I am 100% in agreement with you on that point. The most common and risky thing about building an intranet type environment is that it can lead to a false sense of complacency. What is needed is both a belt and suspenders type approach to hardening the daemons and security on individual servers and things that are within the intranet, and also security measures designed to only allow authorized endpoint clients to get into the intranet. Essentially one needs to treat the individual servers and things that are in the private IP space as if they were still facing the public internet, even if they are not.

What you absolutely never want to do is create an environment that is metaphorically like a uncooked egg, after getting through the outer shell layer, things are soft and squishy inside.
I put off interviewing at Google for 2 job changes ... went back for the third just to see. Ended up getting hired. My prior experience in terms of terrible people conducting interviews was so bad that I almost just wrote them off.

Compared to super-early and mid-stage startups, the ability to work a sane amount is done amazingly well at Google, and they pay too much. The downside is that the work is really simple, and the complexity (e.g. of service development) is through the roof and not supported very well. So just get ready to move at less than half the speed you're used to.

TOTALLY worth it to bank money for 3-5 years, IMO.
I believe Latin has the same property as well, however I’d assume when spoken within communities, both had preferred offerings. As in, folks weren’t arbitrarily ordering their words. But it does create really expressive options for prose and poetry.

FWIW you can add HTTP Basic Auth information in URL links and all major browsers and other HTTP clients (for the most part) should interpret it correctly.

If you only have an API key and not a token (username) and secret (password) I recommend passing the API key as a password as some logging solutions do log the basic auth username in the data recorded.
Robinhood IPO Access Is Here. Just on Time for Robinhood
Just weeks before its IPO debut, Robinhood is empowering its 13 million members by opening the door to investing in IPOs in general. We need to pay close attention.
Not everyone, but if you think it's a good idea to get on stage and say that white supremacy doesn't exist as a significant part of American culture, I think I have a pretty solid idea who you voted for in 2020. Especially if you have a reputation for reposting Breitbart articles.

As an outsider, what it looks like happened at Basecamp was:

1. Some people did something insensitive. Not great, but not the end of the world.

2. Some people - possibly overlapping the previous group - call out that said activity is insensitive, and ask for it to stop. Possibly not in the politest way possible, but also not starting fights.

3. A right-wing extremist in a position of power gets bent out of shape and uses his position of power to say that racism doesn't real, and that microaggressions are pretty cool, actually.

4. Chaos ensues. CEO doesn't immediately tell right-wing extremist to fuck off, and instead thanks him for his contributions - which, while understandable in the heat of the moment, isn't a good look for him... especially since he has no deniability about already knowing extremist's true colors.

5. Rather than taking sides between slightly over-enthusiastic concerned employees and right-wing extremism, CEO says that all politics are now off limits, which makes it sound like both sides were equally at fault. Right-wing extremist's position is thus legitimized, which is likely all he wanted in the first place.
Many years ago, I lived in a trailer for a few months. My health went to hell and the experience was nightmarish.

While living there, I swore to myself I would never live in a trailer again and stated "I would rather live in a tent." Which I did, in actual fact, do for some years at a later date.

I got healthier while sleeping in a tent and desperately poor.

Doctors used to take their little black bag and do house calls. This allowed them to know a lot of things about your life without asking and to factor that into their diagnosis and treatment.

I think medicine is worse off for no longer doing that and I think Sick Building Syndrome is much more prevalent than people realize.

I grew up in Arizona which has a mixture of conservatives and liberals but tends towards conservative on most issues. Before I moved to SF, homelessness and petty crime were previously unknown concepts to me, and I grew up in a pretty poor part of Phoenix that had a large immigrant population.

These problems absolutely affect liberal cities more than conservative ones. I consider myself left-of-center but there is no point lying about this fact.

I use them constantly in my work on Orchid, and, FWIW, one of your coworkers--Lewis Baker--was seemingly hired to help champion the standards and work on Folly Coro. I use the feature much the same way I would in, say, JavaScript (doing stuff like "await Fetch(...)" or "await Query(...)"); I honestly am sufficiently confused by your question that I am having a hard time saying much more... the C++ version of this primitive is great because it doesn't have any baggage about "executors" or anything and lets me have complete control over how the task switching happens. You can build generators with the feature, but I almost never do; there are a couple things I wish the C++ people had done with their implementation (which involves a weirdly thick-feeling interface to implement, and which makes it difficult to truly avoid memory allocation)--in particular, including some of Lewis Baker's interests in asynchronous deconstruction, without which I am finding myself often boxed into a corner (though what I really want, honestly, are true "linear" types)--but by and large I love the C++ implementation of this for its complete flexibility.
Unsurprising it took people almost a decade to discover "depend()" from Meteor.
Yes, they're all really just macro keys. Hyper-7 runs on QMK, so you can make any one of those keys do more or less whatever you want.
>but note that then there’s no way of accessing updates values (in callbacks)

This is by design. When you start making a component worry about what it needs to do on an update, rather than just rendering its data, you are introducing a whole new level of complexity. That's why class based React components could turn into these unwieldy confusing things where you never knew for certain what was going to render every time, because the shouldComponentUpdate method gets stuffed full of business logic.
It’s not about me reading race into the Simpsons, I am saying that the “simpsons yellow” was not intended as a pan-racial skin tone and does not read that way for many people. The fact that minority characters are given a different skin tone than yellow, and the statements of the cartoonists suggest to me that the creators themselves do not view it that way, so it does not seem unreasonable for other people to not accept “simpsons yellow” as a pan-racial skin tone.

Can we at least agree on that or is that too a sign of some “pathology” on my part?

Then, if that’s true, and we think it’s a problem, adding more skin tones seems to me like a trivial fix; but this particular fix being of little cost does not cheapen the wider problems of diversity and inclusion.
Ask HN: Twitter Data on the GameStop Event
Greetings,
I am currently working on a sentiment analysis project based on twitter.
I am using some dummy and old data for it however I would like to know if anyone has or knows about data and tweets from the gamestop event. Particularly curated versions of it that allow me to have a good grasp on the whole things specially from a data science point of view.
The authorized absence rate seems to be just above 3 %: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-sta... which amount to ~ 3 days of absence per term/ ~ 6 days per year. 6 * 12 = 72, which is quite a bit more than three months in aggregate (it is more like 3,5 months). This is in the UK but it is probably reasonably similar elsewhere.

Maybe it will "be a problem child" forever. Maybe it will actually learn to be more assertive thanks to that and either end up in jail or as a high performing employee or founder. Nobody knows and it really depends. The happy-path of social and bureaucratic progression as a kid could be to develop some thick skin early. The school in the general case is a very harsh introduction to the real world. More often than not, kids are mean to each other. Either you develop some elbows or you are generally loved or you like most kids somehow make it through.

Either way, it could be, the parents of that kid would or will move to a different city altogether and socially start from scratch.
I wish the authors started a crowfunding campaign to port it to ARM.
It would be a huge effort for sure (it's asm, ie rewrite just about everything from scratch) but it would pay a lot in the long run. I mean, it can be already spectacular on a mini PC, now imagine it running at these speeds on a 5x5cm $15 256MB RAM Allwinner H3, or any other similar specced, board where a Linux desktop would struggle to be useable after eating all resources. It would become an instant hit for providing ultra small systems with a fast and tight environment in which write network tools, dash boards for electronics projects with scriptable GUI primitives, etc.

Is the carrier willing to work with any website who is abused by their customer? Is their barrier to accountability the demand for a civil or criminal lawsuit? Can sites with mouth legal presence in the same country as the provider seek accountability? Must sites have vast monetary resources sufficient to survive the provider’s attempt to protect their customer from being held accountable under the banner of privacy? How can the provider defend themselves against abusive and falsified requests for identification? Is there an agreement that can be reached to protect identities while still stopping ongoing willful abuse by anonymous customers?

I appreciate the theory that you’re sketching, and I think it certainly has potential. But we already have the theoretical capability you describe today, and have had it for decades, and yet online abuse continues unchecked — so you’ll have to talk more about how and why your recommendation improves on what we have today.
I agree, timers are generally a sound approach. I would personally go with 36 hours to wait out the typical human attention span.
If you can make it all the way to the end of the article and are confused by the phrase "it will all end in pizza," it's a common Brazillian phrase which means "and nothing will happen", as in, the leaders all got together, talked about the issue, couldn't decide anything, got hungry and ordered a pizza.
Doing this for dogs is a good way to productize research if it’s too regulated to cheaply do for humans.
This type of event reminds me why it's unbelievably dangerous to have the decision making of someone's life at the hands of people who don't understand tech is prone to errors.

When the Squid Sank a Schooner
House prices are largely as insane as they are due to the domination of monetary policy. Inflation is eventually going to bite and the slow and painful walk back will begin.

As interest rates begin to climb, house prices shall fall. If inflation forces banks to rapidly increase interest rates, house prices will crash.
The decision to ban partial-paywall sites is fine, but doing it just for a month after the moderator personally runs into a problem seems very subjective.
I disagree with you, as an employer it's very relevant. Why would I bother with someone that makes others uncomfortable, I can find other people to replace them in their role, it'll help my team work better and my business be more competitive.

Similarly, someone who's hypersensitive might also be difficult to work with and be an issue and I might want to find someone with a bit more resilience.

So clearly, both end of the spectrum can be an issue. It's very reasonable for me to want to staff my business with people who make others comfortable and don't have overt hateful public engagements, which can also tolerate the relevant heat that comes with the job.

> I feel uncomfortable" is just one blip of information. It is not an ultimate trump card that automatically commands everything else in the world to conform around it

If you've read all I wrote and understood this, then I miserably failed to express myself it seems. Since my take is that you have to evaluate things on a case by case basis, specifically because it is not a trump card, but it's also not an irrelevant data point. The employee that keeps getting: "they make me uncomfortable" as feedback from others is probably a nuisance to have on my staff. And now I need to evaluate why that is, is it truly that they are being demoralizing and unpleasant, or is it others who are hypersensitive. That's the case by case. And now, personally, if you've a public Twitter that constantly bash on women and suggests their rightful place is at home raising children and cooking for their husbands. And I have a bunch of women on my staff that are doing a great job, and they tell me that this other guy at work makes them uncomfortable and affects the quality of their work in turn from creating a bad environment, well ya, seems rational that it'll be to that guy that I'll tell to suck it up, and not to all my other women employees.
I think you are grossly underestimating the psychological impact of for whatever reason being labeled such and such and being at school. There are schools that are mostly a happy place, I know a few. The general case however is you spend ~12 years somewhere you would rather avoid if you could.
Then perhaps count yourself lucky to not have had some of these used against you.

Thank you very much for your post about TTFB. I was reading your post and was clear for me, however you didn't say nothing about where we have to put the instructions that you posted to create the Cache chain process then reduce the TTFB. Could you give me some clues about it please?

I don't think they're a trap if you admit ahead of time that the relevant knowledge and its associations are limited. You always have to qualify the result in context. I agree that they won't scale perfectly, but they're still a useful tool in many cases.
> But that's not money one can use to pay bills or buy food.

I know several people who have refinanced (a good idea in my opinion) and taken cash out (a bad idea in my opinion) to do things like remodel kitchens or and pay other bills.
My favorite part is that in response to a failed AUTH system they decide to make the stream open to anyone, so I can just see this one poor network engineer guy sitting on the emergency response call like, "guys, you know this might break over here now instead" and the manager dealing with the Glastonbury people yelling down the phone is like, "Ship the Fix !!!" LoL I hope it works out for them ;}
> The article doesn't say they have no choices it says they have less/limited choices.

When you are poor, sometimes all of the choices available to you are bad ones.

And when you are constrained to making an endless series of 'least bad' choices, is it any wonder that at some point you inevitably go for some instant gratification to ameliorate your intolerable circumstance, at least for a while?
Ask HN: Am I using ClubHouse wrong?
I just downloaded Clubhouse since it is now available for Android. I've been waiting for the Android release with anticipation since I have a lot of friends that talked about the app a lot several months ago.

As I went through the registration process, and was asked to select some interests. I thought those would be used to recommend rooms or something.

Once I was registered and in the app the first recommendation was a room for Israeli and Palestinian discussion, the second was for Black Business Owners and the third was some sort of Pizza Crypto Coin party that honestly looked like a scam or something.

The first 2 room topics are cool, but I identify with none of the groups that those rooms were created for (I'm not Israeli, Palestinian or Black). I also did not select anything related to crypto in my interests when signing up.

Given the recommendations, I thought they must not have those figured out yet. No problem, I can search for rooms of interest right? When searching though, it seems I can only find people and "clubs" not active rooms. None of my 200+ friends are active on the app as far as I can tell.

Is this it? Am I using it wrong or was this really what everyone was so stoked about? Perhaps I am late to this party and it's already ended?
I read his analysis, I found it roughly to be back of the envelope math and I did not think it was authoritative especially when he uses phrases like "my crude estimate" and "my stupid calculation".

The "per-linear-meter power density" what some would call "wave energy flux" represents an order of 5x greater energy density than wind, which is roughly 10x more dense than solar. When T Murphy describes "third string solar" he highlights that a quantity of energy is lost in each conversion, yes but also the density is increased. Similar to following energy starting with biomass, fermenting to dilute alcohol, and distilling to pure ethanol. In this case there is no effort or external energy required for incident solar energy to generate a lesser amount of denser wind energy, and for wind energy to create a smaller still amount of high density wave energy. However, this quantity is still large enough that even a fraction of it converted to electricity represents an quantity of power that I strongly reject to being called "nil" or "puny".

Following a thorough analysis and R&D phase, the important metric, levelized cost of energy, relates to the quantity of material required to construct a device that interacts with a given quantity of power. Operating in a more power dense medium favors lower LCOE. There are challenges with the salt-water environment, that fact doesn't preclude the existence of industries such as trans-oceanic shipping, offshore oil and gas, navigational and observational buoys, and other such endeavors.

Personally I consider it a good thing for an energy technology to be distributed throughout the world, I think it is preferential than having the entire energy resource concentrated in one part of the world. Another benefit it offers is that its availability is decoupled from wind and solar, the waves don't stop at night, and once established continue traveling without wind.

There is no silver bullet and wave energy is no exception, there will always be a finite quantity recoverable, and a certain cost to recover it. However, to determine those specific numbers would require a herculean effort to thoroughly analyze all of the possible wave energy converter designs - which consist of a number of major of typologies, and within each topology an even greater number of specific designs and sizes, each with their own cost and performance, which also varies depending on seastate - you would need to analyze every possible device not just for power converting performance, but for an estimate of suitable materials and construction techniques, and their costs. Only then could you answer the important question, can any quantity of wave energy be economically recovered at a cost competitive with other leading renewable energy sources.
Good Lord.
CRC32 is used for its error detection properties which exceed those of a cryptographic hash of the same length (and, to boot, it's cheaper, too).

There's no reason to choose MD5 over SHA-1. It's less secure and slower and there's plenty of free implementations of SHA-1.

Ideally you'd use SHA-256, because of (smaller) security concerns with SHA-1, but it is a small touch slower than MD5.
Very cool! Glad this exists :D

I notice that there aren't that many listings though, and many of the listings are from the same companies. Is this because there simply aren't many listings for 4 day weeks? Or is it just difficult to get companies list on your marketplace?
