The majority of deployments are 8 cores or less [0], so even if they were Enterprise - which they're not - they're 5 figures. Not saying it's cheap, but it's an order of magnitude less expensive than what you're suggesting.

Doesn't matter if you're strictly an employee or not. I find myself doing this sometimes myself, as an external contractor. It's more about the dynamics of who you're working with and how you communicate. And... I'm now more aware than ever about how I can talk over others and possibly be suppressing input/ideas from others. Remote meetings are a mixed bag, because sometimes there's legitimate "talking over/past" others due to audio delays (vs POTS).
Ah, that's the one I was trying to remember.

You can implement one of those kludges. Or you can make the effort to restore the end-to-end principal originally envisioned for the Internet.

I'd prefer if people try to work towards the latter over the long term.
>If office workers were barred from all but one toilet in miles I'd guess the seats and walls would be just as caked in shit and piss.

Not in my experience where the office workers had only a single bathroom. The feedback mechanism that keeps the single bathroom clean is the embarrassment of leaving a mess for the next coworker. Everybody knows each other. You can't leave an explosion in the bathroom and just walk away.

The difference is that drivers are transient so they don't have the same social pressure. They drive away so they don't face any backlash. Same reason why truckers complain about dirty bathrooms at truck rest stops. Nobody is accountable to the next person and no embarrassment for not cleaning up after one's self. Hence, public bathrooms become disgusting.

1. SLAAC

2. DHCPv6 (optional)

Which is the same as IPv4: 169.254.0.0/16 and DHCPv4. Except 169.254.0.0/16 can't get you universal connectivity, only link-local.
I wonder how much ICMP is going to those IPs. I ping 1.0.0.1 ("ping 1.1") as a quick check to ensure my internet is working a lot, far quicker and less stretching than typing ping 8.8.8.8. When I'm tracing a fault I'll ping 1.1.1.x as I can then tcpdump on a spanport against that IP and be fairly confident any traffic is from my test point and not from another device.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

This is pretty standard as noted in the book Manufacturing Consent.
There are inpatient mental hospitals in the US, but they are intended for short-term recovery, not long-term institutionalization. Couple that with health care usually being tied to employment (and not being that great to begin with), it is not a good situation. There are social workers (who are massively underpaid and overworked) that attempt to work with patients to ensure housing and outpatient care, but if the patient doesn't have a support system, they are essentially screwed.

Politicians don't care because the mentally ill are a small and unreliable voting bloc. Shame on the rest of us for allowing this to go on...
Efficient file multicast using Perpetual erasure codes
There are three possible reactions to each one: accepting, denying, ignoring, which gives nine possible combinations of "handling".

> It may allow pings (ICMP) in, but that's usually it.

I sure hope it does. Blocking ICMP can cause TCP connections to hang due to inability to do MTU size detection.

With IPv4 this is usually not as visible, but with IPv6 if you block ICMP your connections will block as soon as you try to transfer a large block of data.
GAMMAN
Understanding Fluid Simulation: Microscopic Perspective
I've jsut discovered this approach with python. I usually used google and cookbooks. But I often found myself in position where I tought 'surely there must be a better way to do it'. Reading the standard library really helped me understand how to do some stuff. Best way I found to enforce what I learnt was to rewrite some code with minimal imports.
In 2D airfoil diagrams, first the parcels approach horizontally. Then they are mysteriously accelerated upwards. Then the airfoil accelerates them downwards. Then behind the airfoil, they're mysteriously accelerated upwards again, so they depart horizontally, for zero net acceleration applied to each parcel.

As a whole, air around the wing ISN'T accelerating downwards.

As long as we ignore the "mysterious" part, or try to sweep it under the rug, our explanations won't satisfy.

A complete explanation must include the ground surface ...and then we discover that we're actually explaining a kind of "venturi effect," where the ground is a part of the system, and those mysterious accelerations before and behind the airfoil are caused by interaction with the ground.

This is a "big AHA!" situation: a 2D airfoil can only explain ground-effect flight, where the Newtonian force-pair is located between ground and the airfoil, so no net downward acceleration of air exists. (In other words, if we erase the ground from our diagram, we've just violated Newton's 3rd law.)

A 2D airfoil diagram without the ground surface ...that's a sort of "inertial drive," where the upward force on the airfoil has no corresponding down-force (it does not give a net downward acceleration to the air as a whole.) Easy to fix. Just add the ground surface back in. And then confront the fact that this is a venturi, and not an explanation of flight.
Plus they think the fact it works with a facebook account is a feature, not a bug.
That's largely because alternatives like Postgres exist. If they didn't then I'm pretty sure the the conversation would be more along the lines of "take it or leave it."

People shouldn't underestimate the commoditization of databases that has occurred since MySQL and Postgres became acceptable alternatives.
Sorry, I have spend enough time in multiple roles, Design, PM, Management, etc.

I have done very scientific and statistically correct experiments to measure time spend in proper way of designing and proper way of front-end development.

I trust my numbers. When you do front-end development your problems are strictly technical, frustration point is little to none compared with designing something. You have multiple tools to debug and measure and your focus is clear.

Design has no quick debugging tools, you work with your knowledge and experience which you try to communicate most objectively with little to no success, because the engineers are always right and you are always categorized as nobody automatically.

This perception was present even in my case, as a designer who codes and pays engineers a competitive salary.

Just yesterday I saw here a job search with description of: Engineers who are Designers.:)

I fit perfectly the description in reverse: Designer who is Engineer. I can bring my ideas to life in full stack dev way. But never will sell my skills so stupidly.

P.S.
Please, down-vote more. This is HN, designers here have little to no voice present. They fear a retribution and stay silent.
HN threads are more likely to have multiple sentence paragraphs in a single comment and replies are nested N levels deep. The UI between each reply is minimal (aka not tuned for “engagement” KPIs) and is almost too subtle.

Also, replies to tweets within one of these multiple-tweet posts are hard to even get to, and I genuinely cannot figure out why Twitter used that design. It can’t help engagement.

You were asked for sources. Instead, you pointed to the article someone else linked, and asserted that it’s biased reporting so the data that they didn’t show backs up what you say.

Bit of a side-track, but if you ever get to go to Korea, spend a few hours learning how Hangul works. I am crap at learning how to speak languages (17 years in Germany, and I still have most people shifting to English as soon as they hear a few sentences from me), but I managed to learn how to use Hangul pretty much on the flight to Korea.

Yeah, I considered learning dvorak in the early 2000s, when it was spreading like wildfire through my social group. I decided not too after having several friends gripe about the annoyance of typing on a qwerty keyboard after going dvorak.

But, it's 2021 now. I can't remember the last time I typed on a computer I didn't control! So maybe now it's time to switch to a custom key layout, entirely data driven by sampling my key presses over a few months. :)
Dogs tilt their head to better determine the vertical location of a sound.

That's always been my hypothesis.

Dogs have two ears, spaced horizontally apart such that triangulation can be used to determine the origin of the sound by exploiting the small time difference in time for the sound to reach both ears.

But vertically speaking the ears are in the same position. So to be able to better judge the vertical position of the origin of the sound, they title their heads in order to place the ears apart on the vertical axis.
Neuroscientist? He's just a psychiatrist. The video also mentions his "revolutionary theory" and that's just ... wrong. He writes a huge book based mostly on pioneering work by Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga and fills it with nice-sounding nonsense that makes the backs of neuroscientists shudder, and that qualifies as a "revolutionary theory"?

Comparisons to Freud and Darwin? When the only original contribution of his was to oversimplify scientific work done by others and wax poetic about how it explains everything? Spoiler: it doesn't.

> You could tell them that disease is caused by tiny animals, and that the earth is a sphere that orbits the sun, but getting them to believe you is a another thing.

I can find a cholera outbreak, and tell whoever will listen to stop drinking water from the local wells and eating from the local markets. Go to another part of the city for water and food. Those who listen, even if only one, will be my proof. I can also do a cool science experiment with seaweed agar, silver and bacterial growth but that's not as dramatic.

The earth being a sphere that orbits the sun can't be proved without a telescope, but I can propose a vastly simpler and just as accurate approach using kepler's laws. If I was paying attention in high school physics, I can even do cool stuff with Newton's laws of gravitation to show that "As above, so below" (the planets obey the same law of gravity that we earthlings do).

Yes people might still not believe you, as we can be a stubborn and prideful species, but you know the 'why' of many things and so can keep making correct predictions based on that.

> You won't introduce quarantine just because of germ theory: book of Leviticus already has a version of quarantine, "the law of the plague" well before germ theory.

The bible simply lists procedures, it doesn't explain why you do these things or allow you to extrapolate to other situations and scenarios. By contrast, simply by knowing the "why" of infectious diseases, a smart person or government could isolate the cause of - for example - the black death fairly rapidly (rats w/ fleas) and begin taking steps to solve the issue.

A modern person has a head full of correct answers for questions people 2,3,4000 years ago have yet to even ask. That's powerful stuff, and once they've proved their credentials in some way the books they write will advance humanity by millenia.

"The Duolingo owl is stalking me!"

"Gamification" was more buzzword than real and where it was covering the lack of anything actually interesting then no, it's not going to work long term and probably not short term.

Where is was useful was in getting people to pay attention to barriers to entry their product imposed and reduce them. Beyond that it was a fad for anti-social, unproductive manipulation of users emotions in place of delivering value.
The broad Doric Scots I spoke as a child is, like a lot of regional linguistic variations in the UK, notoriously impenetrable to outsiders but I've never heard it described as anything other than a dialect.

I have often wondered whether the eigenvector of political orientation being low-dimensional (e.g. left-right, conventional-independent) is somehow related to bicameralism (i.e. which side has executive function). It seems like the struggle between left and right we see in the world around us mirrors a struggle within ourselves. The fact that right and left modes of thought are reflected in political arenas, social dynamics and intellectual occupations across human cultures is too universal to be coincidence. There is something qualitatively familiar between left- and right-mindedness that transcends social programming and I suspect may be rooted in neurophysiology.

You are right, a decoding function is needed. The decoding for my given encoding function is not computable because you need to look at all elements of the sequence to see if the rest are the padded zeros or part of the number (because there is a '1' somewhere). But here is a computable, surjective decoding function:
1. The first bit tells you whether the integer should be positive or negative.
2. Then we parse blocks of ten bits. The first bit tells you whether this block is part of the number ('1') or if we reached the end ('0'). If it is part of the number, then the next nine bits are part of the binary encoding of the integer.

This will not terminate for some sequences (for example the all '1' sequence), but it terminates for all sequences that denote integers. Wouldn't this encoding be valid?
(I don't know too much about the halting problem so I might well be wrong here).

> This is not at all what the `equal` function does.

Could you explain what it does do? The way I see it the `find` function constructs a counter-example lazily. The `p` predicate is then applied to this counter-example in `forsome`: `forsome p = p(find(\a -> p a))`. Only if the `p` predicate can determine if the counter-example is valid by looking at a finite amount of digits will the function terminate.
Being able to take notes with a pen is huge. iPads are a bit cheaper than Macbooks, and they're easy to use if you're familiar with a smartphone.
