They almost got it right, a better implementation would overflow regularly to make use of the entire key space, and counter untuitively more resistant to overflows.

Clocks aren't reliable enough for timestamps anyways so garbage collection is the only thing you kinda wanna rely on them for.

A good sweet spot seems to be, 32bit milliseconds + 96bit of entropy. This overflows appeoximately every 50 days, allowing for 50 day rolling data retention.

for what it's worth, YouTube still uses 11 character base64 strings for their video ids, which are assumed to be 64-bit ints. They also allow unlisted videos, which people usually take to mean "semi-private".

It's an interesting tradeoff. The UX of the smaller YouTube video id links is probably of some benefit to them. Plus they have private videos for when you really don't want your video to be viewed, with unlisted being the middle ground of easy sharing but also keeping it exclusive.

You could cheat in many ways.

One way might be to use a Go engine to analyse the best moves for you as you play. Even for non online play this is already a problem with Chess games and hidden smartphones. Everyone has a 9d bot at their disposal these days. And of course one could make use of cloud TensorFlow if that’s not enough.

Ask HN: What’s something that has no right being as expensive as it is?
I’m not an expert, but from what I’ve read, tobacco (especially cigarettes) are up there with the most addictive substances. Like, competing with cocaine and heroin. Obviously since the mind-altering effects are much more subtle, and it’s legal, it’s less disruptive (at least until it gets you sick).
I should mention (because I posted a hopeless sounding post below and didn't consider how it could come across), I quit smoking by taking up running. It was not a switch, I started running as exercise while a still smoked, without even considering quitting. Obviously the habits are at odds, but less than you'd think (I was in my early 30s, smoked about 15 years).

At some point, I had an established new hobby i enjoyed (running), i knew that smoking was holding me back, and i had a partial coping mechanism for dealing with craving and depression that comes with stopping.

10 years later, I still run, and I'm still happy with the tradeoff on my level of fitness, which is something that helps remind me of why I stopped when I have a craving.

(I know a lot of people don't like running, but my takeaway I think is that it's better to focus on a new hobby / habit and establish new patterns while still smoking and then try and quit, vs just stopping and then trying to fill the void after). I hope this makes it sound less hopeless.
Does anyone know what (UI) tech is used for the editor?
It is a suprisingly powerful drug. I gave up cigarettes over 20 years ago and have zero craving for them, the smell is revolting. Looking back, the craving felt a lot like fasting. However today, I have a cigar a little more than once a month on average, and I can tell the nicotine content affects mood, sleep, and maybe some hormone levels for a day or two after, as much or moreso than most prescriptions I've ever taken. There is extra focus and centeredness under its influence and a kind of diminished neuroticism, which I suppose was what made it "cool." There are other factors on that as well, since who today has an hour of uninterrupted solitude (let alone in good company) to sit and do nothing but contemplate, with the space of your own to temporarily pollute, and afford to spend the kind of money on yourself that a good one costs. It would be hard to separate this mini-vacation from the percieved smart drug effects of nicotine. Cigarettes are evil and cruel in every concievable way, and anyone under their yoke who breaks it deserves support.

I wonder if the strength of the monolith isn't targeting durability on the order of eons?
Anecdata but that’s not how it worked for me. I was “20 a day” (which means 30 a day but that wasn’t socially acceptable to admit) for 4 years, 3.5 of which were spent trying to give up. The only 3 days i didn’t smoke in that time were when i had a horribly bad septic throat due to some infection and physically couldn’t smoke.

Patches, lozenges, gums, the little ball tablet things, herbal cigs, e-cig - not the current vape kind, the early 2000s fake cig kind, will power exercises, social support group, pay into my piggy bank to smoke each cig … you get the idea but nothing worked for me and i tried everything on the market.

The problem wasn’t just that i enjoyed smoking, i was actually born to be a smoker. I say that because other people, even most smokers, hate passive cig smoke to varying degrees but i always loved it from a young age, like really loved being near someone smoking, the smell of a cig being smoked just smelled great. Stale smoke didn’t, i hated that like everyone else.

And then i gave up, in one day, and my feeling has never changed since. You couldn’t pay me to smoke, it’d be like paying someone to drink petrol, there’s just no one would do that, it’s an absurd idea.

I don’t mind being near smokers, i don’t enjoy the smell anymore but I’m not repulsed either. I never consider them, it’s just not a part of my identity. I’m not a smoker.

The difference is subtle, is that i don’t have to smoke anymore. When i was a smoker i had to smoke but today I don’t.

> without a super expensive RTX-like raytracing card.

Without a card that supports hardware raytracing, Lumen falls back to a software raytracing mode that carries some limitations[1]

The min-rec non-RTX GPU is a GTX 1070, so there's (roughly) only one generation of supported GPUs that are supported but don't support hardware raytracing. My prediction is that the software fallback will eventually lose support and become deprecated as raytracing cards become more common.

I also mentored for Plato and quit for very similar reasons. When I started, I thought I'd be helping people who are underrepresented in tech, or even just people who had interesting goals that my experience or coaching might help them achieve. Instead, I found people whose companies were paying Plato to give them a service, weren't particularly self-motivated, and were highly traditional in their backgrounds. Worse still, they would schedule my calendar then cancel at the last minute, and Plato didn't seem to discourage this, even though they required me to block my calendar. Then they wanted me to spend my time writing a business case study that they could use to promote themselves. I actually think mentorship could be a great place for innovation, and I could even see "volunteering" or doing 'pro bono' work, but not when it has almost zero return even from a feel-good standpoint.
To alleviate the issue of having a sequential part, they make it wrap around so that you cannot tell the order between two UUIDs. It's already some protection, and the random part is still large.

This sounds interesting, do you have any sources about this?

My limited understanding of the eastern front is that: a, Hitler ordered the initial attack despite the warning of his generals b, forbid any (even tactical) retreat when the tides turned which eventually led to the destruction of multiple army groups.
Maybe? I'm not sure? It's a fairly throw away comment, I didn't send it to my editor to check for logical consistency or style advice.
Those dollars aren't necessarily used to purchase American goods but rather to acquire ownership stakes in American assets.
From the article: “Total foreign imports are only about 11% of American consumption, and Chinese imports are 3%. Most of any national economy, including ours, is domestic; you can't import a haircut, a house, or a hospital visit. So global trade is probably overblown as an issue generally. Which isn't good news; it's just to say that, as usual, most of our problems are our own.”

You seem to have forgotten the core expenditures of a household: Shelter, Food, Personal Care and Entertainment.

Very little in there is coming from China. Certainly not food and most likely basic goods like stationery, toys, electronics, furniture and clothes. Seems reasonable to think that chinese goods fit the 3% figure based on the expenditure in those categories.

Creeping up to their border? Yeah, let's look at how that actually happened.

As soon as Poland had a chance, they wanted into the EU or NATO, preferably both. They, Poland, desperately wanted in. Why? Because they wanted protection from Russia, and with good historical reason.

Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania? Same story. It wasn't that the US had a nefarious plot to ensnare the border countries in a US-dominated alliance. They desperately wanted in, because they have experience with being overrun by Russia.

If Russia doesn't like this, maybe they should work on making their neighbors not feel so afraid of Russia. Things like the Ukraine and Georgia? They are not helping.

Back in the old Star Wars RPG from Westend Games, hull integrity was amplified by ballistic shields that were always on. Reason being, that hull had to withstand debris hits at the rediculous speeds in space. Given the speed and energy, I would assume kinetic impact would matter much. Pressure is different so, as even the hardest space ship only has to hold 2 bar, give or take, of pressure in.

To add to this: One of the reasons they originally targeted Pearl Harbor was to take out our oil and fuel reserves there, but at the last minute they changed targets and went for our ships instead.

From what I've read, if they had taken out our reserves there, our entire foothold in the pacific would have been lost for a year plus while we rebuilt, and we would've had to move our carrier forces back to the pacific coast, which would've been devastating at the time. The entire pacific theatre effort from the U.S. would've been crippled before it could've started.

WebRTC is a cool capability to add to the web ecosystem, but the protocol itself is orders of magnitude more complex than it should be and the standard is far too big and clunky. It mandates too many things too. It should just be a P2P protocol and that's that, and it should be maybe 1/4 the size that it is.

Of course that's most of modern software engineering. WebRTC is actually not that terrible compared with many other things. Over-engineering is a plague.

But let's assume advertising doesn't work. Two companies start with the same product and same market at the same time. One advertises, the other doesn't. According to you, the former one should lose, because it wastes money on ads. I'm betting that (on average), the latter will lose, though.

Yeah for sure, many more optimizations to be made. Thanks for the great feedback!
> For example non-biased search engines, product catalogues, review sites, etc. etc.

This absolutely makes logical sense and I deeply wish this could work. The problem is that in reality, almost all of these sites are as (if not more) “manipulatable” as the ads you’d like to replace. Search engines have their own optimization games, most review sites these days are pay-to-play (or would rapidly become even more so), etc.

So the fundamental issue is that any non-advertising method of getting the word out rapidly becomes just obfuscated advertising. Given the choice I’d prefer at least the ads be honest about being ads.
