Age happens to be the only way to obtain life experience, unfortunately, although the reverse is not true - a lot of people never actually learn of the deeper issues in their lives in that meta-cognitive way. Some just keep doing things more or less the same way they had done them when they were 20. That is a recipe for much regret on one's deathbed. One thing that helps profoundly to understand one's life in a deeper context is raising kids. You see exactly what you were at any given age, and you see the shortcomings (and sometimes advantages) of behaving that way. So you learn much more effectively. It's not the same if it's someone else that you can't observe 100% of the time, without a "facade".
Personal opinion: I would just get to work. In my opinion this “you need a cofounder” is complete horse%^*+ perpetuated by folk who are investing money with you and need a failover plan in case you find the journey is too hard for you.

Sure if you have a cofounder you can do it that way too but not having one should not be stopping you from doing this.

Also looking for a cofounder on a forum may not be how you want to have a cofounder. A more effective way to get a cofounder is to have somebody in your network that you have known and is equally excited about the idea you wish to bring to life. pressure testing the person with questions is highly ineffective. Best way to do thst is to see them in action and usually you have at least some intuition about a person when you have known them for a little bit.

There is more than one way to get to this destination. Good luck!
> I felt like I didn't actually know what happened in the past, so I didn't know who I was in the present, and the future I was working towards was gone. It was existentially disorienting.
Right, I can relate to this, especially because I never got closure on exactly why I wasn't worth fighting for or being given a heads up that I was doing something very wrong.

> I know this is unsolicited advice, but for what it's worth take some time to figure out how and why you found yourself in the situation.

I'm going to try and do that, I think reflecting back over the last decade, I definitely changed a lot and there were signs of some things not working but I always had this "you have to give it everything you've got" attitude and didn't want to give up.

Thank you, I hope you do as well!
The vicinity of Prince George looks like it has enough habitable land to fit the whole population of California into a small corner, but I agree that most of the province is very hostile to human life and transportation networks. I'm from Oregon. We have Mount Hood. It's weird to see a mountain that looks like Mount Hood next to another mountain that looks like Mount Hood, in front of a dozen more mountains that look like Mount Hood, in front of hundreds or thousands more, and so on. It's intimidating even just to look at.

Re APL I totally know what you mean. I've never done anything with that category of language that wasn't just golfing / goofing around, but conceptually it's made an impression. Once the big picture concept clicks you look at the way we write most code and see so much bookkeeping that's just managing names and values of iterators and indexes. Lifting that up to bulk transformation of multidimensional objects is powerful, and much closer to the intuitive picture of what's going on I have in my imagination.

"As far as I could see, the marketing materials that IBM released yesterday take a lot of words to say absolutely nothing about what, to experts, is the single most important piece of information: namely,"

As a clever bloke (Aaronson) said: "Get a grip and give us the science (in paper form)".

His blog is quite animated.
Thanks! I've done my own testing more recently with the same RIPE Atlas infrastructure and the results were more encouraging. A good test for this is the AWS EC2 reachability test

http://ec2-reachability.amazonaws.com/

which puts many of the test hosts on .0 addresses.

There was also a NANOG thread talking about this phenomenon.

Decades-old standards do call for interoperability with a distant host whose address ends with a zero octet, so in theory there should be some interest toward cleaning this up on that basis alone.

If you have some more data or examples or suggestions for where to find them, I'd be happy to hear about it.
I'm reading this right now and I have to say it's... not great. The writing style of Stephenson seems to have been both crippled by capitulation to the "woke mob" and to those detractors who harangue him for his signature tangents. The premise is fine, and the fictional tech and scenarios are typical Stephenson likely-to-come-true-in-some-form prophecy. There are many details which make it extremely and explicitly dated, which works well for historical fiction but this one is future prediction so it has huge potential for being absurdly wrong for readers in 30 to 50 years. I kinda feel like Stephenson got caught up in media hype and paranoia over the last few years instead of really digging deep. His portrayal of women, so far, is showing his age; it reads like Stephen King's attempts at portraying black people through the years, from absurd caricature to overly sensitive apologeticism as a male writer, except compressed into a single book.

I'll revisit my opinion when I'm done, but I'm not impressed so far.
Look into “diminished reality” - the ability to block things out that would be a distraction, for instance.
That still doesn't change the definition of inflation. In a very oversimplified example, if Netflix costs $5 instead of $10/month those actors would be forced to accept $10m instead of $20m per movie.

Honestly, RTK made migrating our existing Redux code to TS so much easier. I really can't thank you enough. We often had teams adopt RTK (in favor of some internal Redux-based helper methods) before helping them migrate other files. In particular, the createAction `.match` pattern made adding types to our actin really simple. I think the only thing that felt awkward was using the ThunkAPI generic when we needed to access state in, say, `createAsyncThunk`, but even that wasn't all that bad after we got used to the pattern. I'm happy to provide more specific feedback if you'd like (hi@salem.io).

Bad sanitization, or fear thereof. You should not be inserting raw passwords into databases, nor should you be interpolating raw queries, but people used to, all the time, so these restrictions may have stuck.

> What’s the alternative?

Don't use the popular hype garbage. Yes, I realize that may not be an option for a lot of people professionally. But I believe if you actually spend some time on due diligence for any dependency you consider adding, you can significantly reduce the number of untrusted deps you pull in.

One of the problems of course is that javascript exacerbates this problem somewhat by not having a comprehensive standard library. But whenever I look for go libraries, go.sum is usually one of the first files I click to check how much garbage it pulls in.

Telemetry vs. SNMP
I quite literally came to the comments to quote this:

> No, it’s about embracing the constraints. They proved to be his true allies

And say pretty much the same thing you did.

Constraints helped them ship by Monday (a seriously admirable feat) but the direct relationships with both the customer (restaurants) and infrastructure (couriers) was what made it a profitable endeavor.
Really? I don't mind how GNOME apps look on KDE. I agree it doesn't look or feel "native" but I find them to be just as usable as they would be if they were used in GNOME. But in any case Qt is intended as a cross-platform toolkit. GTK is not really intended to be that, it is its own thing.

Edit: Actually part of the problem might be your theme. In XFCE/KDE/etc you probably want to disable the theming for GNOME apps and just use Adwaita, in my experience GTK themes have never really worked well with GNOME apps for various technical reasons. However I think in the coming years libadwaita will improve the situation.
as someone not involved in HPC at all but hears things about it occasionally, is there really anything that defines a supercomputer these days? Or is a supercomputer basically just a whole bunch of servers with low latency networking and running MPI?
OneDrive is pretty good but it's very picky about filenames. This is because of its SharePoint backend.

I found a workaround though: using an encryption tool like Cryptomator the filenames are also encrypted and any funky characters end up in nice acceptable-everywhere base64. Additionally Microsoft doesn't get to look over my shoulder. Win-win (I'm on Mac tough otherwise it would be Win-win-win :-) )
They aren't counting clicks, they are counting hours watched, and a subscriber only gets so many simultaneous views. The bot would have to hold the data connection open for a million hours.

Now, I don't know the details of how long the viewer has to watch a show before it counts as a view. But people stopping early is treated as a downvote, if I understand correctly.
I'm currently evaluating this for use at our healthcare company, and I can tell you that 100% of the reason why I'm even willing to consider a low code platform like this is because of the excellent job you've done with open source, and the fact that it fits in seamlessly to our existing nodejs and javascript environment and skill set.

Had you guys made the decision to create your own grammar/DSL, it's very unlikely that I would be seriously considering using it.

I'm not that guy, but I took a semester of astrophysics so I'm practically an expert.

If you drop the "has cleared its orbit of most obstacles" criterion, you have to admit something like 105 new planets. Pluto will always have a special place in our hearts, but it had to be done.
Well the 240/4 block does represent around 6.7% of the total IPv4 address space (268 million addresses) and is already supported by almost every OS except Windows. That's a significant chunk of addresses that can buy some breathing room for cases where IPv4 addresses are truly necessary while greatly reducing or possibly eliminating a market for selling such addresses for a time - a positive in my view.

If I had to pick one proposal I'd say that one is the most "bang for the buck" and probably the only one worth implementing. The others don't represent enough addresses to be worth doing - for the same reason trying to take addresses away from early adopters who got Class A blocks doesn't make sense: any individual block is "only" 16 million addresses so even if you could take them all back (you can't) put together they are smaller than this single /4 being proposed. The other proposals similarly represent fairly small allocations (eg /8) or are scattered among all networks (the .0 multicast address) so they won't make much of a difference.

But making 268 million new addresses available? That seems worth doing!
I do currently hardcode my time zone (although it could be done as a setting) so I suppose it's not 100% automatic...maybe with a geoip lookup!

NTP gets you the date, so you just need a library or algo that maps your time zone into rules for what dates to change on and by how much. Luckily, one ships in the ESP32 sdk. I used something similar to the below, although adapting to my location. Works great for me.

https://werner.rothschopf.net/microcontroller/202103_arduino...

You would theoretically need to update your tz descriptor if your country rules changed. My countries rules never do so I've never worried about it.

This could probably be worked around by periodically checking an endpoint for updates to the tzdb descriptor (like a Linux distro does via the package manager).

Alternatively, you could just knock up a very basic web service which returns date/UTC time of next change and new UTC offset for a given timezone. Then poll once a day or whatever. For bonus points, don't use JSON because it's a pest to parse on the ESP. Or use
http://worldtimeapi.org/ and accept the third party dep.

You sure about that? Even if you’re writing just for a vetted distribution of an OS, and you write code with zero explicit dependencies, you still have much more than zero dependencies. It’s turtles all the way down. The key is to have an entire ecosystem that you can, to some degree more or less, trust.
For me, it’s not a technical reason, but the constant churn of new features, while nice and useful, is frustrating. What is “idiomatic” keeps changing. I learned React 3 years ago when class components were the way to have local state. I’ve tried keeping up with all the new features, but if I wasn’t trying, I’d be far out of the loop. Granted, this is more a JavaScript ecosystem complaint, but it applies here.
> But users don't give a shit if some forum they signed up for 3 years ago gets hacked.

It depends on the forum and the hacker. Most hacks won't have a practical implication, but a targeted attack by somebody unhappy with your comments might abuse your identity or information the account reveals.

Or a forum can reveal information you don't want to have revealed (medical help forums, sexual stuff, ...)

And sometimes you are really to leave "child times" behind you, which might reach surface again later. (Say when you get into a political career ten years later and somebody finds your mail address and searches through dumps of leaked data etc.)

Their theory is that if a customer isn't watching, they will soon stop paying, and they should be able to determine this by looking at the data.
Fair. But "cheap" is relative. Most people who don't work in tech that would from <insert big city here> to <insert small city here> are going to get wages relative to their living cost. So "very cheap" isn't really a thing anymore.
I heard that cell phone services near NYC were down during 9/11. If a similar event that disrupted regional cell phone towers were to happen again, a garmin inreach would allow me to stay connected right? Since it's not dependent on the infrastructure near the user (and this is assuming a regional event where cell phone services are not overloaded / down in a different country, so that you can reach the 2nd party)

Viewing is non linear over time. Just guessing but maybe half occurs in the first week nominally.
depends who you talk to, I would say "a supercomputer is a machine designed for high performance computing that has capabilities several standard deviations above the mean".

There really are only about 10 supercomputers in the world at any time (the most that multiple nations can afford to run) and the capabilities keep being pushed up.

So no, I don't think it's just a bunch of servers with low latency network. Typically much more integration has to be done to achieve peak performance.
mRNA-based therapies?
Netflix knows how to waste money. Having one at that price tag would be typical with smaller salaries for the other roles.
Rust/Go/Node mostly just ignore distro packagers entirely.

Java sometimes has these issues, but mostly distros aren't going around splitting up fatjars for desktop applications or wars for Web applications.

C# just gets shoved into opt as it was considered a problem child to be left alone for a long time.

Perl has avoided this problem by stagnating at the cost of its long term userbase.

C/C++ mostly get along fine since the distro package model was built for them, but occasionally someone gets upset about meson or ninja or something.
Used to watch re-runs of it all the time but I tried re-watching it on Netflix and found it really sticks out how almost every major character on the show is white, and any time a non-white character appears they really ramp up their ethnic characteristics to an uncomfortable degree.

Particularly an episode where Jerry inadvertently makes several racist remarks in front of a Native American character while the laugh track is going nuts just left me speechless.

You have to measure it with the standards of that time, but this kind of obliviousness to any kind of ethnic character is just off-putting now.
Most Nixie tube drivers can't hurt you, unless they are directly rectifying the mains. DC-DC designs that start with typical low voltage can give you a quick jolt but cannot sustain their rated voltage or current if you short them.

I designed my own Nixie tube driver last year, and documented it on Hackaday: https://hackaday.io/project/170962-nixie-tube-170-v-flyback-.... I think I had more fun building the power converter than with playing with Nixie tubes.

Unlike the NCH6300HV, it's an open source hardware design with complete design notes and files for understanding how a HV power converter works.
Without auto updates, a whole load of good that'll do. 99.9% of people are (justifiably) scared to even log in to their router, let alone update it or flash open source FW.

There's frankly a lot to be said about Comcast's current proprietary router model that's basically a completely managed box. You don't even log into the router directly, you manage it on xfinity.com.
Half of these are on their way into "valley of disillusionment" before they become generally useful, though perhaps not as grandiose as originally promised.

And longevity research is not even a real need - we already live too long as it is, from the evolutionary and economic standpoint. I'd much rather someone came up with a way to cheaply and painlessly end one's life once quality of life begins to deteriorate due to chronic disease and such. Some kind of company (and legislative framework) where you pay, say $1K and they put you into a nitrogen chamber and then cremate and flush the ashes down the toilet afterwards. Or perhaps use them as fertilizer. I'd use the service myself at some point in distant future.

I've been following this pretty closely, both because I live in SF and an acquaintance owns a unit there.

The situation is very bad.

Around 2 weeks ago a city engineer for the first time mentioned "possibly dismantling the building", because logically you just can't have a skyscraper that's unsafe in the middle of downtown SF. It threatens numerous other tall buildings.

Based on videos I've seen of the Kobe earthquake, liquefaction would destroy the building even if tilting didn't decommission both the elevators and plumbing first. I wouldn't occupy anything in its shadow.
If Bitcoin went away, the economy would not repeat the great financial crisis of 2007-8. It's still largely speculation at this point.

This is the wrong way to look at it. It went from $0 in 2009 to more than $1 trillion in about 12 years and has been the best performing asset of any kind in history.

It's still relatively early; the vast majority of the world has never heard of bitcoin but it's just a matter of time before they do.

In terms of circulation, Bitcoin has the 3rd largest market cap after the dollar and the Euro according to Deutsche Bank: https://decrypt.co/39425/bitcoin-is-3rd-largest-world-curren...
I think the scale of compute speed really muddies the water with what we traditionally consider a super computer. A DGX pod is probably a super computer imo.

But with some problems we're seeing that we can solve them with petabyte scale lookup tables. Is that a super computer?
