Completely agree here. If you think the acquisitions have been the problem, splitting up those parts makes sense, primarily for Facebook, and possibly certain Amazon/Google/Apple acquisitions too. I think a separate Instagram, Waze, even Youtube, and PA Semi would all be successful on their own currently.

The other common problematic trait I'd say is some form of bad, lack of or preferential moderation with search results, misinformation, products, and apps. I think regulation like "American Innovation and Choice Online Act[1]” handles this well. If you want to be specific about Apple/Google, the OAMA[2] is good too IMO.

It is a really humbling thought that every single one of our entire life's work as developers is one unfortunate astronomical event away from vanishing as though it never existed. Kind of puts it all into perspective really.
Signal works for normal people because it makes trade-off. For some people, some of there trade-offs are not acceptable. For most people, it is what makes it possible for them to use a communication technology that can reasonably be considered secure.
Yup. Especially with the ending. The site may get zero funding, but whoever owns the Patreon account is getting a couple grand a month.

With that said, I think there's a valid point there. Even if the chances of a large tsunami hitting the east coast of NA are low (chance of having an eruption, chance of that eruption being large, and chance of that eruption causing 500km^3 of displaced earth), the amount of destruction it could cause should at least prompt some analysis as to what could be done to mitigate that damage. Especially since there are likely useful public works projects that could be done to mitigate damage from climate change anyway.
Yes, that is the intended meaning. This static site generator is non-traditional; it should live as first-class content on one of the pages of the site it outputs. This is not the way traditional static site generators work, although they should.
Does anyone remember Cosmopolitan and other like magazines. Teenage body issues and associated anxiety are not new. What has happened is we gave everyone internet access so now they can look at pictures of unrealistic bodies all day everywhere they go. The result is body dysmorphia on steroids.

That is very interesting. It seems to me that the Norwegian society treats personal wealth information like what could happen with cryptos and blockchains.

Makes me want to dig deeper and understand the WHYs and HOWs it's been accomplished.

As someone born in a war-torn country, interpersonal trust is very hardly imaginable outside blood-linked relatives. Overall, in such a society there is a high degree of mistrust between individuals from different social classes or regions. Publicly displaying resources like yearly income is the last thing that would come to anyone's mind. As an adult, I have no concrete idea how much a sibling/parent makes per month. We've become so used to being vague while uncomfortably sharing our earnings.

A place like Norway seems like utopia to me. Does the government intervene by sharing citizen's reported income? Who gets to verify, record and archive such info? Is there a kind of punishment for liars/cheaters/abusers? Is the disclosure of personal income a strict legal obligation or a non-binding local tradition? I'm fairly puzzled.
Don’t you remember that time someone got caught insider trading stocks and it made everyone realize that the joint stock corporation was a bad idea.
where did you get the 60M households from and why are you counting households? Everyone in my family has an investment account, so you should be looking at per individual/capita which is closer to ~150 million. So the number of bitcoin holder is significantly higher even if you consider 20% of 150 million.
AFAIK you have to maintain the phone number you sign up with to be able to keep your "account". In many places, it's not feasible to keep a second phone number just for signal simply because it's too expensive.
Your team is fairly typical, for at least a large subsection of the industry.

> But the devs, man. They just don't care.

Well, maybe. Or they just don't know how to write better code.

Either way, the bigger problem is the team management that allows this.

> I do my best to avoid rewriting wherever possible

Why not? If the other devs truly don't care, you could take it upon yourself to clean up the code base little by little when you can.
As bhackett confirmed, you're right about recording at the system library call level. I wasn't sure if it was more of an analogy or only referred to a version of Replay targeting backend servers written in other languages like Go, especially since the author mentioned hooking into the JS runtime in https://medium.com/replay-io/effective-determinism-54cc91f56.... But it looks like I misunderstood, and their browser product is their generic record/replay library integrated into Firefox, rather than a reimplementation of the same concepts.
Exactly. Just because we have a debt-guided mechanism does not make the currency not fiat. Those self-constraints can be changed or removed at any time.
Great site, congrats!

One comment is that the slowest page to load was the Gallery [0] as it loads an ungodly amount of PNG files from what appears to be a single IP (a GCP Compute instance?)

I see 421 requests and 150 Mb loaded. As it seems to be mostly thumbnails, have you considered using jpegs instead of pngs, potentially use lazy loading (i.e. not load images outside of the viewport) and potentially use GCP's (or another provider) CDN offering?

Once I clicked a thumbnail, loading the article itself (for example [1]) was quite breezy.

The gallery is a great showcase of what your site does -- I think that it'd be worth making it snappier :-)

Cheers and congrats again

P.S. Also, the paper linked below [1] seems to have a few conversion problems -- I see "EQUATION (1): Not extracted; please refer to original document", and also some (formula? Greek?) characters that seem out of place after the words "and the next token is generated by sampling"

Of course there is, because it's on the menu of that nice asian place that's within walking distance of the offices of everyone working on the Unicode Standard. For all that talk about inclusion for the pregnant man/pregnant person, the exclusion on things as basic as food is baffling. It's very nice that you can express "pregnant man" with an emoji. It's very weird that you can't express "furnace".

Thats one way to call it...
Sometime after 9/11, the US realized that it was in their best interest to have American tech juggernauts, and if they hamstrung their own tech companies with antitrust and anti-competition laws, other countries (China) would not.

That was the end of antitrust enforcement on a larger scale for US companies.

Quite capable of understanding, thank you. I just think you're wrong.

Not against the law at all. If market manipulation and insider trading of art was illegal half the gallery owners, collectors and critics in New York and London would be in jail.

When the DI is screaming profanities at recruits, [s]he is preemptively saving their lives. The manner in which it is done, is actually a component of the training.

This is true but it's not simply because it breaks down individual identity and makes the team more important than personal ego. If you can't stand unflinchingly in the face of yelling and cussing, you can't stand unflinchingly in the face of live fire and people trying to kill you.
One thing that I find that helps is, instead of saying that this thing is wrong, I just put in what would be right, and I do so with little commentary; usually `code block` -> `code block`.

Another thing that I think helps, at the CR stage, is asking after their thoughts for putting the thing together the way that they did. This DOES run into the potential problem of showing that they didn't put thought into it (or that part of it), but....

...there's a certain extent to which it's not your fault if they get to the CR and get a tough review. It's your organization's, "a month of work saves an hour of planning"-style. The developer who wrote the code getting the tough review wasn't set up to succeed, and IMHO that's more a comment on your org than any of the developers involved.

To bring it back around to your personal process, my (unsolicited, haha) advice is that if you're finding yourself giving a tough review, switch to a 1:1 review / pair programming session. Async text communication is hard and prone to miscommunication.
Do you remove the pdf files we send to your servers?

The point is it became that _because_ it is open source.
I don't have the details, but when my company went to purchase RECs for 2021 we were told that hydro is no longer considered to be in the level of REC we were targeting (extra green something or other). So the cost for this year was much higher than 2020.
That’s gonna be a pipe dream unless an open source client appears. Consider releasing your tech as a self-hosted, turnkey solution and slap on some dual enterprise licensing.
I second this. If you have a project that you were involved in more meaningfully or regularly, then that can be worthwhile to point out.
Gibbon convinced me that there are many, many tasks in life where time is a non-substitutable ingredient of excellence.

He spent 17 years(?) covering 1,500 years of history.

Is it perfect? No. But it is thorough.

Which is comforting, if you don't happen to be the best in the world at something, but still want to leave a contribution to subsequent generations.

I'm building a small personal server device that lets you self-host services in containers and then access them via proxy over WebRTC (so you don't even need a dedicated IP).

I'm in the process of moving my website over from AWS to my own infrastructure (I was using S3 and their CDN for my blog, but unfortunately, the Parler debacle made me rethink my association with them), but the repositories (which are old and need to be updated... this is my hobby project) are on github.

This is my nixos extension to use musl and runit instead of glibc and systemd: https://github.com/intrustd/appliance

built off of my own fork of nixpkgs: https://github.com/intrustd/nixpkgs (forked from a the 19.* releases I think... some changes need to be merged upstream).

Currently, I have it running on an O-Droid HC2 and have used it to share my photos with family. Unfortunately, most home internet connections just don't have enough bandwidth even for modest photo and video sharing, so I'm exploring other means of data transfer rather than a strict client/server thing (maybe using BitTorrent over WebRTC to share larger files). In either case, all the data remains owned by my and physically with me. The system can generate URLs that can be used to access the device for limited amounts of time. So, for example, I can ask my photos app to generate URL I can send to my aunts to show them pictures of my daughter, and this URL will last for X many days until the token expires.

Does Signal protect you from every possible thread model there is? No. Is it better than WhatsApp at avoiding being spied on and being monetized by the service operator? Definitely.
As a compromise to this, I added a features where you can add a search string to the URL and the player will only play songs that that search string in the URL. For example, this only plays Jazz: https://locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=jazz-

I was staying in a hotel in Nepal around 10 years ago. I was sharing a room with someone I met. I paid the hotel, and my roommate paid me in bitcoin. It was pretty convenient considering my home currency is USD, his was EUR, and the local currency was rupees.

Anyway, as far as I'm aware there wasn't any cybercrime taking place that day :)

I believe this sarcasm is truly important in understanding this. There is very much an "appeal to authority" conundrum going on. Solid studies that deviate at all from what the US media and the Biden Administration are discredited.

This extends to policies and prescriptions that have been in place for months or a year in other countries and working to positive effect, i.e. Ivermectin use in numerous countries to assist in fighting COVID (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8248252/) or for instance most of Europe not locking down schools and requiring masks.

This information leads some to believe that a bias or, at worst, an agenda is applied to the science, discarding studies that don't fit the narrative of "the science."
I wonder if this is actually unique to crypto, or if it's common in any industry where participants have a massive financial incentive to "cheat"? There's plenty of instances of hedge funds and stock traders acting like this. I bet there would be more if they were under as little regulation as the crypto exchanges..
I prefer tinyssh to dropbear and even to openssh. https://github.com/janmojzis/tinyssh
Its not for the tinfoil, the reason is the size. OpenSSH is too large for some small systems. In June, dropbear finally got support for chacha20-poly1305 and ed25519 keys, but it only offers the TweetNaCl version. tinyssh has had this since 2014 and can use the original NaCl library, not just the Twitter version.

tinyssh does what the top comment comment in this thread suggests, and in fact goes further. It does not include bad algorithms. This is arguably better than only "deprecating" them.

Yes, but for my purposes as a layperson using a currency, I'm choosing to trust a system that is opaque to me anyways (be it a bank/exchange/other financial institution vs a validator pool). One could argue, for example, that anti-fraud mechanisms in off-chain systems don't have a on-chain counterpart, despite being a desirable feature, so IMHO, if the argument goes that crypto can't do things on-chain that regular currencies can, it seems most feasible to just treat them as digital assets to be tradeable over existing centralized systems, no?
I tried that a few days ago with one of my papers (a PDF generated using pdflatex) and it didn't work that well: the text was fine but some section titles were off, and all of the math and code parts were broken.

Not so fast, like many drugs, it has multiple uses, not just what it was invented for.

Ivermectin, like HCQ, has antiviral properties and prevents binding of some viruses, like the dengue virus and covid-19.

You use it as a prophylactic to prevent replication of the virus.

Details how Ivermectin prevents Covid19 from binding: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41429-021-00430-5/figures/1

There have been many studies showing it's effective at preventing serious infections of Covid-19.

> I wonder how sigma notation fits into this. Clearly the notion of expressing arbitrarily repeated operations using a fixed amount of information (which is what a loop is, essentially) was known at least to Euler.

You can even go further back. Algorithms with loops were known already to Babylonian mathematicians. So you don't need to resort to preternatural prescience.

The Z3 was not intended as a general computing device but as a practical help for engineers. Because of that you can't say it was missing something it didn't need to do its job. Whereas when Zuse designed Plankalkül loops and conditional branches where naturally included in the design.
This is why automatic code formatters such as Prettier -- are absolutely genius for teams. (It doesn't work for your particular example of ternary vs. if/else but the point still holds.)

The information was interesting (and terrifying). I could have done without the conspiracy theory drivel mixed in, though...

But I've heard about this threat before. It could cause massive damage. For historical reasons, an awful lot of the major US cities are on the eastern seaboard. (Of course, it could damage a lot more than just the US...)

Oh man. This level of shame for someone not used to it (e.g. not a public figure) will certainly lead to some trauma.
That's reasonable criticism of my criticism.

I would defend myself by saying that it feels like the opposite is also true. I built up a strawman and struck it down, but the recommendations in the original blog post, and here, are defined in extremely abstract terms, then defended with "you can do it however you want, there's no rules" such that every team who implements it will do it differently, and inevitably most will spend years landing on ten bad ways of doing it, never reaching the nirvana of what was promised in the abstraction.

I do like the idea; but in a limited capacity, and I'd caution teams from planning an entire application around it. I'd stick to fragments of pages which are highly data-driven, and be more cautious around layout and structure.

That's the point that is never spoken about in complaints about NK's "belligerence". And that's how every country that did away with an WMD program that wasn't in the pocket of the West eventually became the target of Western aggression. Libya, Syria, Iraq all had some sort of nuclear weapons programs. And all were eventually attacked by the West because nuclear backed sovereignty is the only sovereignty respected by the West.
I'm guessing it's a very simple application, given the timescale, so you can probably use Spring Boot to get started and follow a simple tutorial of your choice.

Fun fact: Irish [Gaelic] poetry only switched from syllabic to stressed metre about the eighteenth century. One product of the transition was poems in the form of trí rainn agus amhrán, having three stanzas of syllabic metre then a final stanza of stressed metre, for example "Tithe Chorr an Chait": http://www.clanntuirc.co.uk/TRAA/TRAA40.html .
Apple didn't treat anyone bad. They had the rules set up day 1, and there is always the option to switch to Android (both from a user or dev perspective). It's a private company, their store, their rules, which has roughly been always the same. And I'm saying this as an iOS developer. When I develop something I'm fully aware of what can be copied, what is allowed, what payment methods can be used etc upfront, and I accept the rules and don't try to change a private company's own platform's rules.
I've always had conventional tires, but when my Kia Rondo was due for new ones a few years ago, my tire guy suggested the Bridgestone DriveGuard. I was skeptical because of everything I'd heard about run flats, but he said these were a big improvement. And he was right! They feel just like conventional tires.

Maybe a bit harder ride, but I had been in the habit of inflating my old tires 2-3 pounds more than the manufacturer recommendation. So I brought these back down to the recommended 32psi and they are just fine. And they proved their worth when I got to a job interview on time even after getting a flat - and when I went to the tire shop it was a free repair instead of a new tire.
By the way it seems funny writing laws for 2035 today. We might as well pass a law which would ban farting on Mars by 2095 and also ban import of counterfeit Romulan ale from Proxima Centauri B after 2345. Most probably neither of the laws is going to make sense in the years as they come because the reality is going to be different from what we imagine.
