> ("Because," the backend dev thinks, "why would clients want a response after 100s? They've probably given up and gone home already at that point.")

Or worse: they might have given up on this request and issued another one. When you have a problem that might be caused by (or exacerbated by) overload and might cause heavy retrying (by the user and/or automatically at one or more layers), you want to give up on the requests that are least likely to matter. Deadlines are a standard way to do that. Other ways include propagating cancellation through the stack, sheddable request categories, and queue disciplines like adaptive LIFO.

Anyway, I agree with everything you wrote, and I want to point out that whatever deadlines they have in the system are probably helping more than they're hurting. Of course I can't be sure of that without knowing the nature of the outage.
Honestly the best way is to just start interacting with different projects, transferring money around, looking at transactions in etherscan, etc. Most of my understanding comes from writing trading bots for cryptokitties, so playing around with web3 to read data from different contracts, etc is very helpful.

Great article, thanks for sharing, Mai.
I think one of the reasons for TikTok’s success is that the content exists outside a timeline. Every tried to figure out when a particular TikTok was posted? It’s very hidden. That means two things:

* More content for the algorithm to present. It’s quite happy to reach way back into the past to show you something you’ll like.

* No time-sensitive content. This suppresses a lot of the political and outrage-driven content that plagues Twitter and Facebook (and to a lesser extent, YouTube, which does seem to favor recent content)

As a result, like others I find TikTok a breath of fresh air on the internet.

Lackluster comparison (a modern consumer router should be more like a self steering car), but modern cars indeed have safety features to prevent you from crashing.

Of course, both with the car and the router there are good arguments that you should be able to do the dumb thing if you know you need it. If it has to be explicitly enabled after intense warnings, the protective duty (as someone knowing better) can possibly be considered fulfilled - or you can still argue that it should be especially hard to do to block out people who don’t listen to warnings.
Do you want to require that router users pass a government proficiency test and carry insurance to cover their liability for unsafe network use? Otherwise the analogy with driving a car is not quite complete.
We don’t filter on branches, so any merged work counts.

By default all pull requests are considered equally weighted, but there’s a set of labels that allow you to optionally influence that weighting (using basic XS to XL t-shirt sizing), so you could already tag it XS and have it count for very little. We actually had that question from a user yesterday, and we might add a way to ignore a pull request entirely (i.e., give it a weight of 0).

Germany still occupied part of France and most of Belgium at the time of the armistice. Much of the allied offensives in mid- to late-1918 were recovering ground taken by the German spring offensives of 1918. Whether or not Germany could have militarily defended its borders is kind of irrelevant because the government collapsed (https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/government..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Revolution_of_1918%E2%8...).
In my experience, writing "raw" SQL only sucks if your schema sucks and/or you don't have much patience for abstract thinking and building views to make common use cases easier.

I much prefer being able to write a simple SQL query to deliver a piece of business functionality, especially if this is part of some configuration-time setup and not a code-time thing.

It's also 1000x easier to discuss the implications of a particular SQL query with other non-wizards. Emailing my project managers C# method snippets is just going to return more questions to my inbox.
And I'd bet a nice amount that most of them have the default passwords.

Some years ago I wrote a little tool to iterate all of an ISP's ip addresses and around 90% were using default passwords. Mostly homes, but some businesses.
The US has far more influence over most western countries than China ever will.

I'm much more worried about about what the US can do with all the data it collects on its allies than what China does.

Of course, I'd rather my government were to ensure the personal data of its citizens never leaves its boarders (similar to Germany). But that's far too much to ask of the UK.
> There are legit reasons to have a router be publicly accessible.

No, there are not.

> How else would one remotely manage a router

Over a WireGuard connection to a secure management network.

> The only real issue would be using a default password

Uh, no. Try any number of CVEs or 0-days or unknown-until-it's too-late vulnerabilities, depending on what web daemon/frameworks are used by the router's management software.
I decided to take a look at Daybreak on google maps, but I'm having a hard time understanding how the layout is different than other developments. I do notice that the lane system looks nice as opposed to just having alleys. Is there other stuff you like?
> Everything is a chemical.

In this context, chemical UV absorber commonly refers to soluble chemicals such as benzophenones, as opposed to mineral barriers with low solubility such as zinc and titanium oxides.

> Zinc oxide is just nicely inert.

No, ZnO is not "inert" in any sense of the word. It's amphoteric, and reacts readily with a wide variety of salts and acids, including carboxylates. It's highly reactive with sulphur, which makes it uniquely suited as a crosslinking activator for example.

The properties that most endear ZnO to sunscreens are its wide optical absorption spectrum and low rate of absorption into the skin.

For sake of comparison, Wikipedia says Daybreak is over 4000 acres while Culdesac is 16. These projects aren't close in scale and I think the "neighborhood" in the marketing for Culdesac is misleading regarding what life would actually be like living there. There are several individual buildings in my neighborhood that house more people and I still need a car on a regular basis.

Completely agree. At this point I'm relatively convinced you always have to go "back to the market" to get a meaningful pay raise. Even if you switch to the product side or make 2-3 compensation incentives, you're likely not going to see that much of a cumulative pay bump - especially if you're not in the top 1% of engineers (which I certainly am not). Once you're in the 6-8yrs of experience range it gets a bit more drab unless you want to start your own gig - that is of course if making more money is in the cards.
Yep. Babies can add and subtract when they’re days old.

Can they write Shakespeare?

If human language is fundamental, how is it missing from the start? Are we learning language or muscle mechanics? Why can a word or phrase mean one thing in this country and nonsense in another? If language processing has a universal basis, why all the confusing variety and ignorant ideas? 1+1=2 everywhere because we can observe the physical process everywhere, because light, eyes, etc

Who cares?

Like I said back in the day we didn’t know that. We had to theorize these abstract schemes to establish something.

But like religion, doesn’t mean linguistics is building on something that means what we want it to.

Given how hard it is to learn language while arithmetic seems innate, how do we know emphasizing it’s value is leading us where we want?

It’s easier for me to see that long dead scientifically illiterate humans we inherited those ideas from were just stupid.
They had a range extension trailer for the original Tesla roadster. I don't know how popular it was...

The main issue with that is the total efficiency isn't that great.

If you're not taking frequent long trips, than it seems a pure EV makes the most sense. You can just rent a car for the longer trips.

If you are more frequently taking long trips, but your daily trips are often short enough, a PHEV can make the most sense.
Seems contrived. 'None' is an equally valid answer, and easy to conceptualize as a number, eg 'start with three, take away two, take away one, now you have none.'
Back around 1990 I had the thought 'every new communications medium turns to sh*t eventually'. I think because it eventually gets dominated by grifters swindling marks of the lowest common denominator.

The shared makerspace seems like a neighborhood level thing. There's all sorts of services / hobbies that make more sense to be neighborhood based instead of nationally based.

Tools and workshops are like that. The biggest issue with tools/workshops is liability. Someone's going to lose a finger, or a rotary tool will pull out their hair / a piece of their scalp... (even with all the safety precautions, its going to happen. There are some real idiots out there), and then everything goes to crap.

In a neighborhood solution, there's more local trust in each other, and a social contract where people care for each other.

In a city-solution, you need to bootstrap the community out of nothingness. When newbies come in, you've got forms and disclosure agreements and training videos to minimize the issue. It works but... I'm inclined to see how their neighborhood scale makerspace scales.

I was handed maintenance of a database with horrid schemas, like table_1 joined table_2 on "substr(table_1.foo, 4, 3) = upper(table_2.bar) and table_1.type = table_2.first_name", and crazy stuff like that. One table had an index on "upper(substr(purchase_id,1,1))". Another was indexed on "substring(table_3.xmlvars,'<KEY>(.*)</KEY>')". (I just looked up the old codebase and copied and pasted. These aren't exaggerations.) I had zero chance of fixing the schema because a giant legacy internal application was built with it, and I had to make my (new) application adapt to its schema instead.

I spent a couple of months exhaustively documenting these relationships in the form of SQLAlchemy models, so that I could eventually write table_1.join(table_2) and have it do the right thing without having to remember (and implement!) that complexity everywhere those two tables touched. It was sanity saving, and for that I’m hugely grateful. Thank you.

If you’re starting with a brand new DB schema, shiny and pure, perhaps you can get away with hardcoding a bunch of SQL. I’ve rarely had that luxury, so query builders are one of my favorite things.
It should be pointed out that this "neighborhood" is just a mixed use apartment complex of 760 rental units that does not currently exist yet though construction has sort of started.

Ask HN: PostgreSQL is such a pain to setup
I do not understand why most people on HN seem to prefer PostgreSQL. It's such a pain to setup, wasting so much time getting everything to work. Also all the pain with the upgrading procedure.

With MariaDB you get a solid DB up and running in a matter of minutes and upgrading is simple and easy. We have never, not a single time in 20 years experienced any problems.

I absolute hate the administration part of working with PostgreSQL, so much so that I have decided to remove it and never use it again on our servers.
Not having any data on a single false positives ever leave your device is MUCH more private than having that data exist on Google's servers.

Also, I have huge doubts that Google is reviewing the data to be sure it isn't a false positive before handing it over to the authorities.

Folks - these routers are secure. There is nothing to see here, move along.

Here's the user manual for the TP-Link AC2300 "Archer C7", as found in the google results:

https://static.tp-link.com/2019/201912/20191231/7106508598_A...

Step 2 of first time setup forces a default password change. There is no way around this step.

The defaults for the router also do not allow router access from the WAN port.

This means:

1) These routers all have secured passwords that are non-default.

2) These routers were deliberately placed on the internet by people that knew enough about them to do so.

Just because it's not how you would configure your router doesn't make it wrong. There are legit reasons to place a router on the internet, so long as it's secured properly... how else would you remotely manage a router at a different physical location, for instance.

__Lastly__ click "Next Page" on the OP search results. The estimated 7,000+ results becomes 21. Many of which are HN aggregators reporting on this thread here.

So... out of the possible millions of routers TP-Link has sold in this model line, less than 21 are on the public internet - many of which no longer load via IP address (indicating they are no longer publicly accessible), and the rest have professional CNAME's attached, indicating professional management.

Nothing here...

I also hit a very frustrating issue in minio where CORS headers weren't being set properly and there were many similar cases in their issues history. Their response was basically "works for me, sorry".

I'm pretty sure there was something weird going on with how minio was reading the config state, as I definitely was not the only one hitting it. Luckily I only had to use it for local testing in the project, but the whole thing didn't leave me feeling good.

Database Lab Engine – instant Postgres clones for development and testing
We tried to use it a year ago or so, because of the performance promise. We were getting random glitches every few thousand files during operations. There was no obvious pattern, so difficult to reproduce, and as far as I remember there was mentions of it in github. Hopefully they acknowledge and get over this hump, as it seems like a promising project all together.
Something I've found that really helps is putting a soft-ban on named types with generic type parameters. You almost never truly need them if you aren't writing a library, and they add a whole lot to inscrutability.

Having both an “Open” command and an “Open, but faster and does less” command feels like humans succumbing to the needs of computers, not computers providing an additional convenience for humans. But that is a much more complicated problem that I don’t think has ever been solved in a GUI context.)

> If an Uber costs the same as a taxi, it makes no difference.

It does for people like me, who prefer taking an Uber to dealing with taxi drivers pretending they can't take credit cards, the stress of figuring out how much to tip, and so on. I know that not everyone feels this way, but many do, and that certainly has some value. The question is whether it has enough value for Uber to be able to eventually make a profit.
Uber cannot take advantage of the economies taxi companies have in fleet purchase, in-house maintenance, commercial prices for parts, and fuel contracts. None of these scale well nationally, which is why there has never been anything more than small, regional taxi companies, even though they were possible 100 years ago.

Uber's overhead in misbelieving they are a software company rather than a taxi service has only added to the expense, not saved anything.

Because taxis rely on cheap fleets, centralized and cheaper maintenance, and volume fuel agreements, they simply don't scale.
Let the children be free to download this app and let them play in it. They are going to realise soon how much of an addictive nightmare this app is and it just takes a slip up or a scandal from ByteDance to anger the majority users on the platform.

The news about it being the most downloaded app is great news if you are an investor in ByteDance; I don't know what you get out of it if you're a mere user. As always you're basically the product (again), providing them with shareholder value by being addicted and posting continuously to other addicted users. Making your data and their algorithm more valuable.

Since we're comparing these platforms to being like drugs, and given you are saying that TikTok is proven to be even more potent, the description of such a drug sounds more like heroine, than crack. Addictive and dangerous. That isn't going to end well.
