Very different.
WireGuard is explicit basic, only cares how to make an encrypted link between two devices, and do it very well. Key exchange, IP assignation and routing are manual work. There are solution build on top of WireGuard (Tailscale is one of them) that puts some "automagic".

YG puts more "magic" on protocol (autorouting, mesh making, etc), but is not that clean on design (crypto not formally tested, latency prone TCP links, not good enough NAT punching, etc).

Wireguard and YG are different tools on the SDN network toolbox, and can be mixed for special porpoises.
Why do you say that about 5g? I cant say I'm very familair with the current situation, any links you could share?
It may require less administration but what administration you do have to do takes much longer in my experience - some Linux things are arcane, but much isn't, but when you get to things Microsoft don't really want you to play with you're on your own
Home ec for me was cooking, sewing, and baking. It felt like the most bullshit class ever.

An actual home economics course - one that covers compound interest, net present value, discounted cash flow, different asset classes, efficient market hypothesis, supply & demand, and reading financial statements - would be hugely valuable to kids.
> I cant imagine spending more than 10 euro on the set (shoes aside)

Indeed, for men, shoes are the hardest part to work around on a budget. Cheap looks cheap (and tends to fall apart really fast) and used is rarely actually cheap unless they're so beat up that, at best, you can manage smart-casual out of them. You can save money buying used, but "cheap" is practically unattainable.

The materials (leather, mostly) are just too expensive for actually-cheap men's shoes to be A Thing, at least for mainstream looks which basically all require leather shoes above a very-casual register. Even alternative fashions usually find a way for it to be hard to get away with cheap shoes, it seems (much "street" fashion, for example) usually subbing in expensive casual styles (pricey sneaker, or conspicuous-consumption work or military boot styles) for the oxford or loafer or whatever.
Over the past decade, software updates in general have mostly become another form of malware, as software makers care more about extracting money from their users or adding pointless shiny features than actually making their software fast, stable, or better able to serve the user.

As a result, my default policy now is "If it ain't broke, NEVER fix it." Install, then disable all updates, forcibly if necessary. On Windows and your browser at a bare minimum, and probably on any other software you use often or rely on. Yes, there are risks and downsides to doing this: security holes won't be patched, bugs won't be fixed, and new features won't be present. But everything in life is a balance. And on balance, the bad of updating is almost always worse than the good is good. This article highlights that in brilliant neon letters. How on EARTH do you justify boot and reboot times doubling or tripling, and just about every metric getting worse over time? Why would I let Microsoft fuck with my system if they're going to make it shittier?

And of course, the article leaves out the worst part. Never mind gradual performance drops, there's a good chance that update you just downloaded just broke something. Entirely. Something you NEED to work. When is a fix coming? Anyone's guess.

Install Windows 10 LTSB. It's the only one worth using. And unless you NEED a new feature or bugfix, never EVER update.
you kinda can in a lot of universities with big programs. There's a lot of "sports marketing" and "sports science" majors now that get a little loose with requirements and rigor. when done right, they can be good tools to prep athletes for life after playing (agents, marketing, phys ed instructors and coaches, etc.) but they also run the risk of being places for the football team to sleep through class and get an A for working out and attending video.

> I am not known in any popular online communities, I am not famous and no one really cares who I am - so I could not be cancelled

Be very careful with that outlook. When I think of cancel culture I always come back to Justine Sacco[0]. She was a nobody with 170 twitter followers before the mob destroyed her life.

As you get older, it is likely that you will increasingly recognize that most people are doing the best they can under difficult circumstances, most people behave as they do for survival reasons, and barriers to people's ability to reach their potential exist because it suits the interests of some powerful person for them to be there.

So, to combat misanthropy: try to be helpful and encouraging to the people you interact with personally. Choose to help those who have little to get a little more when you have the option. Fight entrenched, elite power when you have the opportunity.
Daniel is doing quite well I believe as he manages to get some money from corporations. I gave him as an example of ubiquitous code used by huge corporations, mostly without paying for it.

So don't fixate on single person, take look from a perspective.

What is the article about?
It is about contributor that does not want his code to be included somewhere and licensing does not work for him.

So earning money on OSS is also not *simply solved* by dual licensing GPL/commercial. There are multiple reasons why not.

Corporations or companies can't just simply pay some random dude from the internet and often they will just not even think about it. But they can simply use OSS code as easy as downloading it form github.

Running a company to chase those corporations down, well that is not something you want to spend time on.
Setting up legal entity for most projects will not even make financial sense.
That levy fixes that and fixes problem of setting a company by OSS contributors as they would be paid just like artists in "levy" scheme.
Try a touchscreen (preferably with marker-like stylus). :)

Of course, "come in for collab meetings once a week" is most certainly an option for teams who really need it.
I recently had a mentally ill family member try to work up a mob to get another family member fired from their job over some perceived slight. This person was able to get attention from media figures on Facebook who were interested in writing a story. They attempted to make noise on Twitter using the employer's account.

I don't think anyone had tools like this at their disposal in the 1990s. You could call up someone's employer and lie about an employee saying something bad about immigrants at a birthday party and they'd probably just hang up on you or threaten to call the police for harassment.
There's a serious lack of awareness in some of these comments of just how dang expensive kids & a family can be.

That's not to say that there isn't plenty of poor financial management going on, but if you have 3 kids you can't just start a 4th side hustle, live in a cardboard box, and put all your money in crypto and then retire in 4 years.
> But unlike me and my credit lines, the US Gov has no credit limit. It's akin to printing, since it takes out new loans to service its current debts and operational expenses.

I think that's partially true. For the most part debt isn't held at the Fed, and in steady state the Fed unwinds their balance sheet over time. They hold $4.5T - a lot by any measure - but not out of the $28T total outstanding. The majority of that is held domestically by US entities. The next major holder is Japan.

The Fed isn't mandated to purchase bonds, per se, they have the ability to should circumstances necessitate. Their mandate is to maximize employment in the United States and to maintain a low, predictable rate of inflation. They have this tool in their chest to achieve these goals.

The US government has "no credit limit" in the same way your Amex charge card has "no credit limit." It's limited in how much it can borrow by its ability to service debt and also its ability to find new holders of its debt. That's not limited per se, but it's certainly not unlimited either.

After all a loss in confidence would lead to buyers demanding higher interest rates which could be catastrophic.
You're getting bogged down in the details of my example. I know a good amount of people who played D1 sports. One went pro and is competing in the Olympics this year. The others used their degrees to get "normal" jobs when they weren't able to go pro (or had no intention to in the first place). All of them would not have had the opportunity to compete at a high level in their sports without forgoing their higher education.
I still use them for NAS use because you get a bit of "notice" before the data goes down, and costs at this level makes spinning disks make sense.
oh that's fantastic. I saw a plotly demo many years ago when you sponsored my local PUG, and while it looked cool, I never gave it a chance because I assumed it was just a web service.
Indeed, you are correct! *blushing face emoji*. Edit made. Thank you!
Did you miss anything in my comment perhaps?

Is internet discussion as implemented on HN the pinnacle of what can be achieved by humanity? This seems like a worthwhile topic of discussion.
This was my experience as well updating computers at a company I recently joined. Changing to an SSD had the most impact, although a lot of these machines already had 8GB of RAM. There are still a handful around that now have an SSD but still 4GB of RAM they came with; these are also better now, usable anyway.
Sometimes people say that kind of thing out of shame, for example if they feel humiliated and are trying to make the humiliation stop by agreeing with the person shaming them. Such statements should not be taken as factual confessions. I don't know anything about this situation, but that language sounds like that to me. Also, the first sentence of the current article makes me think that the author is given to overstatement.
So, as a serious question, what would Facebook do if it's owners woke up tomorrow and decided their only priority was providing thoughtful, substantial discussion and helping people avoid an unbalanced relationship with social media? Could they "manipulate" their user base to achieve this? Wouldn't they simply loose their users to other venues that would provide a vacuous engagement fix? Moreover, a lot of FB is based on user generated content? How do you prevent that from being trolly/provocative/etc?

Edit: my point would be the manipulation happens but it's much more a product of the generators of provocative content than the forums, which give a certain spin but can't help but provide a forum for what is viral. As an "exception that proves the rule", FB and mainstream social media successfully suppressed Guilliani's one, big hit-piece last election. They got tremendous heat for this and it was clearly something they couldn't keep doing for every bit of content. Just consider, the NY Post still gets a wide forum despite, imo, being the tissue of lies and a river of filth.

Edit2: And FB provides rebuttal like for some number of overtly fake stories. Is that enough? Is that itself manipulation?

This is incorrect, JPEG XL is smaller.

Thanks for giving a great example for me to add Amazon to my "never work there" list.
Stay in the high paying job, save, retire, do hobbies.

Alternative: Work really hard for almost no money. If it goes well, you can make close to your engineering salary again as a founder. If you "win the lottery" you get an exit and get to retire and do hobbies.
> Poor people can't think in long terms as they're struggling with their daily needs

Good thing we have people like you that understand poor people and can make decisions in their name and all. Where would they be without you.
depending on how you capture that energy there will be waste of some kind that is created either in the manufacturing/growing process for the capture system or as a byproduct of converting solar energy to another form that is more easily stored. one of the advantages of diverse biological systems is that you can have cycles of organisms that process waste back into energy sources using solar energy + reactants as input. a self-sustaining silicon-based life-system would probably end up following a similar pattern to process waste back into useful resources, because waste products probably cannot be avoided.

Folks should just move. Iowa has a 3.7% unemployment rate and is desperate for workers.

The people I went to law school with are now buying $1.5 million+ houses. Even on a $500k/year salary that's insane. My wife, who grew up in a modest household, simply couldn't pull the trigger on a mortgage like that. We moved an hour outside D.C. and bought a house for 1/3 that much.

I understand close-in houses are more expensive than they used to be, but there's also been serious lifestyle inflation among middle class millenials. I grew up in a solidly middle class household; my dad had a graduate degree and a white collar job. We ate at Sizzler, sat through the timeshare pitch to get tickets at Disney, etc. We travelled internationally just three times growing up: twice to go back home to Bangladesh, and once to Paris. Today, it seems like millenials think that just because you have a white collar job you should be able to afford an international vacation every year.
Honestly, I enjoy programming in Go and been using it on a daily basis for the last few years. Most importantly, when it comes to performance it's often not the language that matters but how you structure your code. It's very much possible to build a terrible C++ program which thrashes memory and will be very slow. And I feel like Go is actually lacking those nice data-oriented libraries.
So like a branch that automatically rebases on another branch? I think the issue with this is the inevitable conflicts and race-conditions. While nice in theory, often you need manual control to sort things out.
Based on this post title, I wonder if the original announcement [0] should be linked instead of this opinion about the announcement.

The lunduke.com blog post omits some of the broader context and supplemental Q&A. Two that stood out to me:

1. This is currently limited to events this fall. Given the timing relative to global vaccination status, this seems like a reasonable stance.

2. They are still offering a digital version of the event.

I wasn't there. I don't know you or any of the other players. I know nothing about this beyond basically the synopsis.

Yet what is cited as the origin of the torch mob -- a twitter thread -- has a lot of pretty clear accusations by long time Twitter users, some of whom are fairly well known figures.

NZ Twitter is nuts. If you think US Twitter leans left you haven't seen anything like NZPol Twitter.
the "woke" are just one side there... the right-wing was always the original cancel-mob.. Christian right-wingers were using cancel tactics decades ago--D&D, Heavy Metal, Comedians, Satanic Panic (people went to jail). Hell, my mom burned my D&D set. ... all the boycots and so on.. the 'woke' folks are just turning it around I think.
I know that people will harp on the January 6th thing, but political discourse in the West is safer (as in free of violence) in the current 2 decades than it probably has been ever before.
Scale is its own problem. Engineering anything at 10x the size or 10x the reliability, which Amazon does, is incredibly more challenging than the original problem.
The problem with stack ranking at places like microsoft was twofold. First small team managers were forced to rank their reports, and each manager had to get rid of the bottom 10% each year. If you had 20 employees you had to fire 2 employees each year. But statistics doesn't work like that, there were many microsoft teams with all productive employees. And there were probably teams where 30% of the group should have been moved/retrained/let go.

The second is that people respond to incentives. So a manager might make a bad hire because so they don't have to fire any of the people they like. The team might not help someone struggling because they need a sacrifice every year. And finally people might trade to barely avoid the bottom 10% (if you'll make this decision i want, i'll rank you higher). Then the people you are keeping are the low productivity, agile political operators. And a low productivity highly political worker is 10 times worse for productivity than the plain version of low productivity worker.

There doesn't seem to be any indication that Amazon is forcing this kind of decision on small teams. On a larger scale of 1,000 or 10,000 workers it makes sense to track if you are losing people that you don't care about losing or "un-regretted attrition". It's also good to have a process where a manager says "this person isn't doing well" and HR says "tell them what they need to improve and give them a few months" (or find them a different position). And the manager says "hey that worked" 2/3 of the time and then fires them when it doesn't. Otherwise you end up with sudden surprise firings or managers who never fire anyone.
It's modern slavery. You can't explain the fact that most workers can't even afford to save for a deposit for a small flat and at the same time company is boasting about making billions and avoiding taxes.

They tell workers this lie that the salary they get is adequate to the value they produce.

This is despicable.

These companies should be forced to pay fairly and pay all the taxes.
I don't know how much that will matter in the states, but when we tried it in Denmark (in some towns), it meant people took the bus more - but it was those who would otherwise take their bike or walk, not people who would otherwise use their car.

It makes sense too. I can get a 30 day pass to drive with public transportation as much as I want, but it is so much faster to take my car that I essentially only take it (prepandemic).
a problem with this is that you could eventually get to the truth that the best way to increase your wealth is to get a higher salary.

He neither owns DOGE nor does he have his own exchange. He and everyone else is abusing DOGE as a pump and dump, which it even wasn’t designed for, as it was just a joke.

It attracts pump and dumb schemes, but it’s not a Ponzi scheme, those are very different things.
The term Sexual Predator has been expanded to cover a lot more in that circle. It's similar to how anybody who has sex with a celebrity is technically raped because of the power difference. It's impossible to give consent when your partner is more important than you are.

You might think this sounds insane, but it's a real thing: https://www.nsvrc.org/i-ask-how-power-impacts-consent

The handouts on here handwave the issue at the end "consider how holding a position of power might influence the situation" but some people advocate that any power imbalance inherently makes consent impossible and they will attack people on Twitter over it.
Because store of value must be backed by something, and bitcoin is backed by nothing, so it can't ever become one. It's a meme designed to entice people to buy - the narrative thing. It's a negative sum game, so people who mistakenly think it has value continue to lose wealth in aggregate. This can last for years but not indefinitely.

For eth, it's possible, because it's going to generate income, but it's what I meant by the "premium for being the only big yield asset that doesn't rely on law to enforce property rights" bit. In the short run it can go much higher, but I doubt the ability to sustain >100x PE ratios over decades.

The likely reply to this is "gold", so let me preempt it. Gold is sustained mostly by jewelry demand (cultural reasons mostly in Asia) and industrial demand. Speculation pumps it on top of that, but without the non-speculative demand gold would collapse during market crashes, killing future speculative demand too. Even with that it appears to be going out of fashion among speculators - gold isn't money for several decades now and the 'gold is money' meme is finally losing power. That's after literally thousands of years when gold was used as money, showing how weak even the strongest meme 'backing' is.

... and you know I am always looking in the log and they are filled with stuff that seems irrelevant but never anything that explains why your computer crashed, why a service quit working, etc -- generally opening the event viewer seems to be a complete waste of time that I never get insights from.

Disabling the log completely doesn't seem like a loss at all.

As for the DNS I agree with that.

Years ago when I first got DSL (1Mbps) I noticed that the browsing the web on a DSL line was slower than the dialup because DNS lookups took forever.

Switching to a resolving DNS server was like taking a ton of bricks out of my car and installing a supercharger.

I wonder if ISPs are just indifferent to DNS speed or if they see it as a form of "traffic shaping" that lowers load on their network.
Yes they do.

There's as much or more tumblr activity for my dashboard & on my blog. I get way fewer porn spam bots following me now. And people generally seem to be happy with the website & are continuing to use it to talk about the stuff they like.
I’m not sure where you are misreading me, but the authors point still stands that your “battle with the establishment of real politik” is evidence of the complexity of the situation not being fully addressed.
