He's the lead developer of io_uring a new kernel mechanism for doing I/O that is much more effecient for these large IOPS workloads and it itself has been getting lots of optimisation in every recent kernel so it could be both.

Scrum is a tool, it all depends how it's used.

They've been buying full-page ads to this effect in the print edition of the Economist for years now. Given that they clearly believe that they'll be able to steer any such regulation into being a competitive advantage, I'd really rather explore other avenues.

e: my personal nightmare is Facebook-as-regulated-utility: all of the evil the existing corporation exerts, plus no chance that it'll ever naturally go the way of myspace. I'm not ideologically opposed to all regulation ever anywhere, just deeply concerned that any regulation we see in this space will move us closer to that particular cyberpunk dystopia.

And then what? Just stockpile a year of everything? At every company along the supply chain? It is the first time in my life, professional in SCM and otherwise, that something like Covid and a global trade disruption happened together with a global shortage of one class of products. No way you for see or prepare for something like that.

Hindsight in 20/20, just imagine the automotive OEMs would have gotten rid of the JIT for chips and Covid (and all the other things causing the shortages) wouldn't have affected chips but, say, certain raw materials like Aluminium.

Have you ever lived off of the land? If you haven't, you should question how well your visions of the lifestyle match with what actually happens in reality. Just like you might see a beautiful picture of a beach and dream constantly of going there, but once you get there you are swarmed by mosquitos, cut your feet on sharp rocks, and get poisoned from the industrial runoff that was cleverly cropped out of the picture.

I frequently see this as an idle dream but assume most people who dream of it would not last a year before quitting or getting themselves seriously injured or killed in some manner.

But yeah, if I were recommending options to a web group, I'd 100% tell them to use R2 and populate it object by object from S3. Although I suppose all the "it's ok to put this data into S3 with these controls" agreements will need to be redone for the new use case.

I don't find that to much of an issue - in fact its alot easier. having a conversation with someone about whether this is the best project in the company for them to be working on rather than whether they should be there at all.

maybe the first conversation leads to the second, but its not me :)
Governments can do this without the inefficiency of the scalpers profits in cases where the need is great.
Ask HN: Ticket driven development: are you sick of it and how'd you change it?
Software development in most startup teams today has essentially become ticket-driven development. Tickets are created, assigned, and are magically expected to be delivered on in 1 or 2-wk cycles. Then, more new tickets are created, assigned, and the cycle repeats.

The PM/EM writes a bunch of poorly detailed tickets (often with no detail) and expects devs to deliver on them. Is this the situation in your team too? If there is detail, it's usually a few hastily written lines in the JIRA ticket description with the rest left to the developer to figure out, fill in the blanks on, or ask questions around.

1. have you experienced this? and if so, have you seen that this leads to poorer quality deliverables or does it not have any impact?

2. what would you fix about this process (systems, people, tools) to make it better?
To be frank, I do not want to get that book nor do I want my name to be in their system as somebody who is interested in that book. A search of their online catalogues through Tor was enough to confirm my suspicion that they would not have the book generally available. My understanding of how librarians think about and consider "banned books" comes from my interactions with a few librarians in my social circle; the search for the book was simply to illustrate my point with an example.
Tesla's business model (and stock valuation) is based on launching a robotaxi service. I'd say that this news introduces more competition for the robotaxi aspect, not the selling you a car aspect.

What's interesting about that is that John Gruber uses footnotes extensively in his own blog posts (and has since approximately 2005), but chooses to implement them with HTML snippets rather than having created a dedicated Markdown syntax for them.

It’s important to understand that Akamai has always been an enterprise company. They are not developer friendly, and target the 1000 largest websites on earth. They were never going to compete with a ground-up cloud offering.
This is a good post.

I know the point is broader than monads specifically, but I have to admit I think “explaining monads” have probably done more harm to understanding monads than anything to do with monads themselves. [Proceeds to commit the same error discussed in the post.]

In my experience, the best way to explain monads to someone who isn’t approaching them from a theoretical perspective is to relate them to abstractions they already understand—whether they’re actually monads or close enough if you squint.

I got there by relating the concept to jQuery. A lot of JS devs get there by relating it to Promises. (Aside: I had a minor revelatory moment when I realized the old Node-style `(error, result) => {…}` callbacks were essentially a Maybe/Option type in different syntax.)

It’s not a far reach, for learners with that familiarity, to go along for the next step where you can apply the same semantics to anything in a similarly wrapped structure.

That’s not “think of it as a burrito”, unless that example particularly resonates with the audience. It’s: once you have the aha moment, your teaching effectiveness depends on being able to recognize the pattern in your audience’s domain.

Which I guess is restating the post’s point, but I think it’s good to demystify monads in particular.

Your arguments regarding NAT only make sense when considering carrier grade NAT.

With IPv6 you can set up your machine to use "temporary" addresses which will use random addresses from your router's subnet instead of a fixed one (based off of the NIC's mac address) and for a limited duration. The duration is normally some number of hours, but you could make it 10 seconds if you preferred.

I feel like at this point, comparaison between software engineers and civil engineers should fall under the "does not gratify intellectual curiosity" category. I haven't seen anything interesting said about this topic since the article series "are we really engineers?" https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/are-we-really-engineers/.

> At the end of the day, you wind up in a lot of fairly pointless arguments about tech stack and coding conventions that 99.9% of the time don’t make a bit of difference to the final product.

That's a great conclusion.
Not to mention the overuse of the exclamation point, which is rather tiring to read.
I think it's OK for highly compensated employees and employers to have these agreements, as long as the power balance is relatively equitable in the beginning. It allows a certain level of employer investment with assurances that those investments wont immediately be used to boost their competitors and presumably the employee is able to extract some concessions from the employer for signing it. In cases where it's literally just a soulless corporate chain bullying employees into being serfs it's completely immoral.
Thanks, but I don't need the explanation about the difference and nature of objectivity and subjectivity and don't need to be told that it's not a value or worthiness dichotomy. Admittedly, the HN crowd clearly heavily favor what they think is objectivity, so it's easy to assume everyone thinks like that on here!

I do think we sort-of agree that BOTH subjective and objective measures need assessment and they're both difficult to measure.
Maybe your wife is onto something? I mean, I live on some land in the middle of nowhere, where there's nothing to do, but we both want to live here. Some people really don't. It can sound nice, but if you're the kind of person who wants to be near restaurants other than McDonald's, or to have playmates for your kids nearby, or doesn't want to get in the car for a minimum half-hour round trip every time you need a gallon of milk, it might not be for you.

Being out in the country where you can do whatever you want also means that your neighbors can do whatever they want. So some idiot setting off cherry bombs, or another one shooting skeet/target practice in his backyard, or heating a house with wood and smoking out the entire neighborhood when there's a temperature inversion is just as valid a use of property as your gardening. And when the various hunting seasons start, well, gunshots carry a pretty long distance at 6AM.

On a good day, I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. On a bad day, I just want to shoot everyone else, but that's me.
You should rephrase the title, it makes no sense
This is absolutely a thing. I suspect your experience with fast food work might not be very extensive.
It’s a feature of Pixel phones, not Android.

I’m not sure how this will change in the future, but currently at least it’s probably not possible to transcribe and communicate speech this way (the power and bandwidth requirements would be too high).

But we’re damn close.

Edit: It seems like throughput isn’t even an issue in the case of Amazon’s Sidewalk. Now it’s just transcription in low power modes. Heck, you might even be able to send raw audio.

This is feasible.
One of the worst things we did in the past century is paint the idea of an apartment high rise full of decent sized family apartments overlooking a green shady courtyard as some communist evil, to be actively outlawed. We haven't gotten past that sentiment towards apartment living to this day. Even what we do build in terms of apartments is only really studios or 1 or 2 bedroom units. If you want to have a family, there's nothing like that on the market like there is in other countries with dense family housing.
I think "just" is supposed to imply that the proposed solution might be simpler or easier in some way, not that it's obviously superior overall.

[Of course in the case of containers vs. tarballs ... it might actually make the system more complex and more difficult to implement, use, and maintain - something which might be nice to state explicitly along with the reasons why. >;-)]
My observation is that you mostly get (1). And this is also why wealth inequality (both on a personal and a corporate level) is so bad.

I've had the luxury of building out an entire platform with ChatOps that built groups of people who had access to do deployments and mutate infrastructure.

It definitely was a neat project using chat flows, but I ultimately said "this is great until slack is down". Slack promptly went down the following week and we just threw our hands up and used the AWS console.
Isn’t it easier to just stick to the term and not fight with it? Everyone involved knows that “software engineering” is not like “civil engineering”, and those who don’t, usually don’t know either. It has no legal nor practical sense, so why bother?
The USSR was a communists country.

There is a world of difference between Social Democratic (i.e. socialism) countries like Finland, Sweden, Norway for example and the USSR.

The hint is right there in the title, democratic.

The USSR never had a functioning democracy.
> Also known as a command economy, a staple stalinist recipe

No. That’s an extreme, just like your idea of what you call a “social service” performed by scalpers.

There’s a middle ground, and it’s certainly possible to regulate a market to mitigate the most pathological consequences of capitalism without Stalinism. In fact, that happens all the time.
Has there ever been a product that isn't designed to manipulate your emotional state?
And how often does that happen with modern day cars compared to old ones? I would argue that older cars, pre electronic wizardry, are easier to repair (assuming spare parts are available) but break down more often. Older cars are also in need of more maintenance.

Modern cars need an inspection every 30k km and hardly ever break down. When they do, they are usually toast so (at least financially). Older cars are financially toast as well, if you cannot do the work yourself so.

It's weird how the author starts with "examples and concreteness are essential to the process of building up an understanding of abstract pure ideas", and then rejects the burrito example as an unhelpful leap when it comes to teaching.

To me that's contradictory. A concrete and familiar metaphor is just as good as a concrete example when it comes to building up the foundation upon which abstract ideas eventually form.

Scalpers only do (2) for those who can afford it. If scalpers were willing to hand out goods on the merit of the application rather than profit then I’d have much more sympathy. But then they wouldn’t really be scalpers anymore.

I’m willing to bet that scalpers starve critical applications of goods far more than they provide them. Providers of critical services are usually poorly funded.
I'm curious to see a more up to date analysis of the chip shortage. My understanding is that when it started last year, the problem was caused by unprecedented demand for silicon fueled by people being stuck at home. Factories were pumping out chips at maximum capacity and it still wasn't enough to meet demand.

As people return to vacationing and social activities as the vaccine became available, I expected demand to slowly come back down to meet supply, but the problem seems to only be getting worse.
>and the consensus of the entire field, held for decades, is even more likely.

Yes, but at one point, the widely held belief was that the earth was the center of the universe, the earth itself was flat, and the sun was a god being pulled through the heavens in a chariot of fire.

So, sometimes consensus isn't right either. Just a bunch of people agreeeing because it is the path of least resistance.
heh. Truer words were never spoken.
Right, because it will just turn off itself randomly and run full speed into vehicle ahead.

Even Tesla's basic autopilot is far ahead of competitors and it's already included in base price.

Many companies will rip you off for far more basic cruise control
Yes which supports all kinds of functionality that people like. Just because you have a processor on or mic listening for wake words doesn’t mean everything is always being transmitted or evil is being done.

State actors could do this selectively regardless even before these features. There have been attacks on Motorola razrs, etc for spying. Long before the smartphone, they just implanted microphones, shine lasers on windows, etc.
>> Of every developer I have seen leave, their primary motivation was a higher pay

My motivations for leaving so far:

- Working with more relevant technology. Maybe higher pay in the long run

- Getting experience in different roles. Again, long run thinking

- Getting out of anything related to real estate in 2006

- Moving across the country to chase a girl

- Knowing that my manager was going to quit and that he was the only one allowing me to work remote.

- Douglas

- Entire department off-shored. Was working remote so I could have stuck around I guess. Wasn't worth it.
I like the font and spacing a lot, I'm always writing user styles to make sites (especially HN and Reddit) comfortable to read for more than a minute or two.

OTOH there's between 235px and 325px of height before the first comment under the parent story/comment, which is somewhere between 1/4 and a 1/3 of the entire available height. The Back and Open keyboard hints could be moved elsewhere or the empty space up top could just be shrunk. And why isn't Toggle Full Post with Back and Open, either all at the top or all in the parent?

Similarly having the "By pabue" on its own line (instead of inline with the controls below it) takes up a lot of room, and the least clear part of the UI is the comment author.

It's also not obvious where you are in a list of comments, having a minimap might be nice and quite fun to develop! And being able to go forward (and back) a page would also be nice. It's a nifty project though, good work :)
Each of these things prevents isolated testing of dependent components. For that reason alone they are nonstarters.
Tableplus is fantastic software. I have it open all day every day.

Coding is the process of fully understanding what needs to be built. We've all seen architecture astronauts churn out reams of UML that still result in a broken system. Exploring the space via iterative MVP is far more productive.

Personally I use Terraform because it's multi-provider not so I can switch, but so that I can use whatever I want concurrently.

I have no interest in using CloudFormation for the AWS parts, and then.. what, Terraform anyway for any other provider?

(Even if CF were on par, which IMO it isn't.)
Not that I don't support warning disclaimers on facebook, but "designed to manipulate your emotional state" certainly applies to all movies, music, most books, etc. A big difference between these things and facebook is that facebook is reactive. It constantly measures your emotional state and modifies what it presents you with. Movies, music and books don't do that (yet?)

Facebook reacts to you reacting to facebook; putting you inside a control loop. Facebook is more akin to a car salesman than a movie director; a car salesman who knows virtually everything about you because he's MITMed your social interactions for years, and can modify his individualized approach to manipulating you minute by minute.
We have a privacy policy which describes what we collect in a bit more details, see https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/privacy/

https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Co... is the actual code which collects most of the information. We do multiple things to avoid being able to track user activity too much -- for example, while every instance of Dolphin has a unique ID so we can do things like unique counts, events that happen within a play session are associated to truncated_hash(unique ID + game ID) and not directly with the unique ID. This means that we can only correlate events from the same user playing the same game, but not* two events from one user playing different games.

* Our implementation is a bit weak given that the set of all gameids is small and enumerable. We could probably do better there.
I got bit by this today and I've not been able to find out what I need to do to fix it.
Increased demand doesn’t increase prices on its own. The seller also has to Choose to sell at the higher price.
Because he posted a bunch of admittedly pretty annoying Tweets based on angsty presumptions about stuff that someone who put in the effort to do their research and submit a real teardown and writeup rips apart. Being some crypto associate professor doesn't absolve you of the responsibility of doing your research before spewing off on Twitter. At least he's seemed to handle things with some amount of humility since then so I'll chalk this one up to having a bad day or something. I've actually read some of his stuff before I just didn't know him by name which is why I asked.
