I think it’s quite common to be upfront that you didn’t work for a period (date A to date B) but usually put a simple entry in for what you did do (if possible of course!)

E.g Feb 2019 - Nov 2019: travelling across Europe

Or Dec 2019 - Feb 2020: Taking a break with family

As the break is the last thing you did I’d try to show super enthusiasm to work again in any interaction with prospective hirers so it’s clear you do actually want to get back to work. Good luck
Good one. I would expect those to be gone pretty early on though, there is just too much tonnage there. Same for scrap yards, harbors and so on. By the time things get desperate you'll have to expend a lot of effort. On the plus side, mining garbage will probably turn up a lot of other useful elements.
What do you do about the levamisole?
Interesting, I definitely missed some of that, didn’t know about replacement of doubly linked list with arData array for maintaining insertion order. It does still use chaining though, just not with the classical pointers and instead with indexes into an array but indirection is still there for collision cases.
I think the idea of fully decentralising all the things as per web3 or the move to crypto is really interesting.

But if the last couple years has told us anything it’s that it’s being immediately met with a wave of recentralisation where some ungodly percentage of crypto wallets are all sitting with centralised providers and services, which still require email/password entry.

I fail to see how a non-tecnhical user is going to migrate from where we are now to keeping all their keys by themselves
(Sorry I recognise you’re agreeing with these points as well basically but started replying here so might as well finish)
Contract law isn't absolutist like that, and it can't bind both parties in a way that's unreasonable or contrary to certain basic rights-related laws.
That's why you can't contract yourself into slavery.

What'll happen in cases like that is that it'll be litigated, interpreted, and either amended through a settlement agreement or annulled.

As others have said, the law isn't a programming language. It's a human system that, while being rigorous, strict, structured, and binding for the most part, is nonetheless capable by design of nuance and interpretation within known and constrained bounds.

The first elegant, efficient, and cross-platform open source home cloud
Golang has extremely high running speed, efficient development efficiency, elegant code, and powerful cross-platform features. It has gradually become popular in recent years.

The reason why Golang is elegant is that the code written in Golang is easy to read, understand, test, maintain, extend and standardize the naming, and the code looks pleasing to the eye. As the world's first family cloud, CasaOS not only has elegant code, but also has The pleasing UI makes you more comfortable to manage the family cloud.

Golang supports concurrency at the language level, and uses lightweight coroutine Goroutines to implement concurrent program operation. Relying on the high-performance advantages of Golang, CasaOS is also excellent in performance.

The Golang program is inherently cross-platform, easier to deploy and less error-prone. CasaOS also has this feature, which can support more devices in your home, so that each device may become a carrier of home cloud.

CasaOS is an elegant open source application center, an elegant home cloud. Casa Spanish "home". It mainly covers the following core functions:
1. Quick Docker app installation plus automatic management
2. Sync media with 10x speed. Management and processing of family data (family photos, videos, entertainment video)
3. Smart home device management
CasaOS is still some distance away from the 1.0 official version, but we update it almost every week.

As a family cloud, we know that there is still a lot of work to be done. If you also like golang, if you are also interested in family cloud, and are willing to work with us to create and promote home cloud, you can send me an email link@icewhale.org, We hope you can join.
I remember when the massive early growth of Napster led to a similar hype cycle around P2P, with overblown articles in Wired proclaiming it to be the answer to everything. Around 2004 I was CTO of a company building a streaming music service and I got a call from the CEO of a P2P-based CDN. I asked him some basic questions trying to find any reason I might consider them. It became clear that it would make no sense for us - their pricing was above the quotes I had received from other CDNs and I had no confidence in their reliability. The only selling point was whatever residual buzz P2P had at that point. He quickly became agitated and began yelling at me about how I "didn't get it". The company was called Red Swoosh and the angry CEO was Travis Kalanick. A few years later he somehow managed to sell it to Akamai, and as I recall it was shut down within a year.
I think one big missing element for the reasoning behind all this is that people seem to intuitively assign the wrong prior to the chances of a zoonotic event, they miss that fully 2/3rds or so of our pathogens are zoonotic in origin, and that's only the ones that we can trace back, the remainder is either an open question or settled to have originated in our species or passed on as part of our heritage prior to humanity budding off from our ancestors.

Which brings the discussion about the Tesla vehicle full circle, as that company is closely associated with (and actually shares a material engineering lab with) an extraordinarily innovative rocket company.
Not sure that makes it any better.
Playing a devil's advocate here: a use case might already be hitting the maximum per server RAM.

A factor of 2.4 might mean 2.4 times more hardware. You might need 240 servers instead of 100.
In 1996 when it was a proposed idea the estimated cost was 500 million USD and the proposed launch was 2007. But the design kept getting more and more lofty and the project got more and more complex. The initial estimate was a bit off, it has cost about 9.6 billion USD so far.

Still though, if everything works and we learn more about the universe, I think it'll have been worth it.

I agree with you in pure idealistic principle... but it would be stupid for every single major country to disband their military, without an ironclad guarantee that the rest would do the same.

Modulo 9, a decimal integer is equal to the sum of its digits. More precisely, congruent, notated by ≡:

For instance 123 ≡ 1+2+3 ≡ 6 (mod 9).

We show congruences using ≡, and always have (mod N) on the far right to indicate the modulus for the congurence.

More generally, if ABC is a decimal string, then we know that ABC ≡ A + B + C (mod 9).

Moreover ABC + DEF + GHI must be congruent to A+B+C + D+E+F + G+H+I (mod 9).

And if ABC + DEF + GHI is equal to 123J, then A+B+C + D+E+F + G+H+I ≡ 123J ≡ 1+2+3+J (mod 9).

Thus:

A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I ≡ 1+2+3+J (mod 9)

Now suppose we add J to both sides:

A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I+J ≡ 1+2+3+J+J (mod 9)

OK so now we know that the left hand side A+...+J contains all elements from 0 to 9, because of the problem constraint that the letters represent unique digits. The numbers 0 to 9 add together to 45. Now 45 is congruent to 0 (mod 9).

Therefore:

A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I+J ≡ 45 ≡ 0 ≡ 6 + 2J (mod 9)

We no longer care about the A+..+J; it's vanished. We solve the remaining equation:

0 ≡ 6 + 2J (mod 9)

If 6 + X (mod 9) is congruent to 0, X must be one of {... -6, 3, 12, 21, 30, 39 ...}: the set of integers congruent to 3, (mod 9).

If X = 2J, where J is a one-digit decimal integer, X must be an even, non-negative integer. That rules out -6, 3 and 21. It can't be 30, because J can't be 15. X must be 12, which gives J = 6.
At this point you can consider all non-nitro instance types to be legacy: it's been years now since all new instance types have been nitro and pretty much every instance family has a nitro replacement that is both faster and cheaper than its predecessor (except in the odd case where the sizes don't line up nicely). So it's very possible they've just stopped letting legacy instance types get new features as an incentive.

However, nitro instances use their own network hardware which includes the ENA NICS and possibly the switches, where it seems like they may have pushed their virtual network stack into hardware, in which case it makes sense that they'd not bother implementing features separately for non-nitro.

Another random network feature nitro instances get is transparent end-to-end encryption for any traffic flowing between two nitro instances in a VPC. There used to also be Network Load Balancer features that only worked for nitro backends/clients.

But wouldn't it be prone to the same co-opting by anyone holding the bigger bag of money like the endorsing that already exists, just adding to the noise of the influencerdom?

"Friends" and average nobodies already turn scummy as soon as RandomCorp throws in some kind of stupid referral incentive. Celebrities and has-beens can't be trusted when addressing consumer goods. Leveraging social media to bridge the gap between them is what brought us influencers.
In all such cases when a derived system of writing was created, the creator was familiar with one or more older writing systems, but different choices were made about how much to take from the old system and how many new features to add.

The creator of the Greek alphabet knew the Phoenician alphabet and its adaptation to the Greek language preserved almost all Phoenician letters, with their names and their alphabetic order and their pronunciations, with just a few exceptions when some letters have been reassigned to other sounds (the most significant being the reassignment of ALEF, HE, AYIN to the sounds A, E, O) and a few letters were added at the end of the alphabet for sounds missing in Phoenician.

On the other hand, the creator of the first Semitic alphabet (many hundreds of years before the creation of the Phoenician variant) knew the Egyptian hieratic writing system (not the Demotic, which is much more recent than even the Phoenician alphabet).

However, the Semitic alphabet preserved much less from the hieratic script, mainly the principle of using a sign for each consonant, without marking the vowels, and the writing direction from right to left.

Because we know very little of the early evolution of the Semitic alphabet (the few so-called Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions are very obscure), we do not even know for sure if any signs were taken directly from hieratic or all the Semitic signs were completely new. Also, it is not known which are the origins of the 2 traditional orders of the letters in the Semitic alphabets (the one used in Phoenician/Ugaritic, which was inherited by the European alphabets, and the different order used in the South-Arabic alphabet).

So the ancestor of the Phoenician alphabet has taken much less from the hieratic script than the Greek alphabet has taken from the Phoenician, but it can be argued that a principle like using a sign per consonant is much more important than the graphic signs that are used (especially because this idea seems to have occurred only once in history, all the other not-derived-from-Egyptian writing systems have used signs for either syllables or words, not for simpler sounds).
Good, I hope this is just the start of a crackdown on the whole offensive cybersecurity industry of Israel, which is an extension arm of the intelligence departments of the IDF.
This is a very selective take from all those Russia-Ukraine relationships.

It's clear now that Russia just wants to destroy Ukrainian independence and its culture. And it's using any possible leverage to achieve this.
Or being amazed by Go's compile speed, when Turbo Pascal and Object Pascal compilers were already doing that in the 1980's, or finding WASM innovative when polyglot bytecodes with no GC also go back to the early 1980's, like Amsterdam Compiler Kit EM as one example among many.
Kubernetes namespaces isolation – what it is, what it isn't, life, universe
I used to think the same thing, but considering their name registration isn't even price compatible $13 annually without coupons and their shared hosting is over $10 a month, they are worth considering moving on from. I did because their hosting was just too expensive with them refusing to offer coupons to existing customers to renew hosting or domains. They used to be a lot better.
Ask HN: WordPress dev set up with database syncing?
Many WordPress setups involve changes being made to both the files and database. For example, you might upload a plugin like Elementor (files) and use some features from it that modify the design of pages/posts (css files + database changes). Maybe you want to test those changes first in your dev environment.

Syncing changes to files is relatively easy with git and/or CD tools, but how do you sync changes from your dev to production databases when ready to deploy?
They also formally published this on Reddit.
Moldable Development (2019) [video]
Interesting way to frame the idea as entropy. Starting every project with a backend and SPA client seems like adding unnecessary entropy.

I'm glad we have middle-way options where we can progressively add dynamic functionality to rich-server, lower entropy applications and make an intentional decision whether to add a rich-client if the need arises.
Sure. And? Everything that you need to do to manage 240 servers, you need to do to manage 100 servers. Like I said, if you're in the scaling stage then you'll be getting to 240 in a few months either way, so you need to be ready for it. 2.4x higher operating expenses matter eventually, when you're a mature organisation, but if the software is under active development you almost certainly have higher priorities.
None of that makes sense. The language is certainly sending off grifter alarm bells.

The talent pool shrunk... So I'm going to upend the entire thing and start again? How does that make sense? What talent do you need?

I would wager that the investment graft is drying up and thus is a play to secure funding for more US biased sources

Perhaps slapping AI all over your generic document product is dying a little as a strategy too.
It also runs on Intel and probably gets some supplies from Europe. It's pretty insane to boycott any company that indirectly works with the U.S military.
Ok, I see your premise now. I am not sure I agree: do you know of a system that has seen less investment on backwards compatibility yet successfully maintains it?

Of course, not "frozen" like TeX, but seeing active feature development too.

Edit: My apologies of putting parentheses in the title (that's my addition and not part of the title on the website). The reason I did it: it seems that the idea of "Moldable Development" has been posted more often to HN and it was never picked up. I think the biggest reason might be that "Moldable Development" as a title doesn't say much what it's going to be about and therefore it'd not receive proper attention. I know I am like that.

Original post:

I was watching this YouTube talk as I'm interested in exploring Smalltalk for a bit due to recent HN discussions. some people mentioned it was the greatest productive language ever. Others said it wasn't. But what I did get to understand is that it is unique. Also, Alan Kay is not an unknown name on these forums and he's a fun writer to read. So I figured, why not watch a Smalltalk lecture?

I'm just about 7 min. to this video and what I saw at 7:43 blew my mind. I timestamped the video so that you can get some of the relevant context. It reminds me a lot of Brett Victor's Learnable programming blog post [1] that has been frequently mentioned on here.

The Metcalf attack was most likely done by CWA union employees, who were in a labor dispute with AT&T at the time. Two fiber vaults had AT&T fibers cut, and the Metcalf station was the primary source of power for the SNJSCA02 central office.

Two years later DHS indicated during an energy conference they had not identified the exact attacker but believed it was an insider. https://money.cnn.com/2015/10/16/technology/sniper-power-gri...

2) “Junior-centered” app has to be simple as a “ToDo list example”, all the time. It's not possible for the real apps - they constantly evolve, and to keep their code readable and clean you need skilled developers, not the other way around.

A more accurate statement would be that volume means nothing.

Market cap absolutely does. It's meaningful that of the 18.8mil btc out there, no one is willing to part with one for less than $56k.

Even the Tether concern is somewhat outdated. It now makes up only 4.5% of btc & eth's combined market cap. The mkt cap of btc and eth fluctuates about that much every few days, is it enough to really matter?

There's definitely parallels to be drawn between the Israeli and the American conservative/right-wing/militant nationalist elements. Both countries operate as global bullies, using military force to subjugate externally and propaganda and fear of replacement to subjugate internally, heavily enhanced by the use of technology.

They both have this old-guard mentality of "might makes right" hegemony, which a lot of other countries (and some portion of their populations) don't like because it's broadly incompatible with a human-rights centered worldview that favors the pipe dream of peaceful multilateral democracies. Count myself as someone who dislikes this approach.

Whether it's planes or surveillance tech or reactor malware doesn't really matter, all just ammunition for their goals.

Israel at least has a survival need; it learned the (very) hard way that it has many enemies constantly seeking to destroy it. It's an us-or-them mentality hardened by centuries of oppression and decades of war.

America... now that's much harder to find an excuse for. And arguably we've spent all our resources on attacking Muslim scapegoats while China leapfrogs us. But hey, I don't make global policy, I just comment on it on the internet.

How Does Port Mirroring Work? What Is Mirroring Used For?
Yes, I am familiar with portals and what they do: I was exactly wondering if bubblewrap contains something similar — it's been ages since I was involved with Linux system architecture (let's say I am stuck in the SysV init world, and I still go for "service apache2 restart" :)), so it'd be great if there was a quick introduction for someone wanting to use flatpak/snap style sandboxing without the dependency management and distribution channels.
You are missing two parts:
1) _during_ the whole “transition” period nobody knew anything how this would pan out. That means nobody* would write grant proposals for ERC funding for the future. Which is the drop in received funding that the UK institutions start seeing now
2) highly trained people do have a choice in moving. And the UK very openly communicating: we don’t want those stupid foreigners made a number of people thinking twice of going there. They are still some of the most famous universities which reduces this effect, but still it was the default choice for anyone and isn’t anymore.

So you get an atrophied bureaucracy for distributing research money and combine it with a reduction in applicants and you get fewer graduate students about 2-5 years after you switch.

*significantly fewer people
I moved to the US only 2 years ago, so am still learning about the system. As far as I can tell, the reasons for not using standardized test scores (such as the SAT and ACT) are that:

1. Using only these scores would boost the proportion of elite university places awarded to Asians, who are already 'overrepresented' relative to their share of the population. Propel state various reasons why this is undesirable (equity/diversity, don't want everyone on campus to be 'the same') and unstated reasons (racism against Asians).

2. Blacks and Hispanics are 'underrepresented' at elite colleges relative to their respective shares of the population. The argument here is that these outcomes are prima facie due to 'systemic racism', i.e. not necessarily overt racist acts, but things in the system that together result in worse outcomes for certain ethnic groups.

If you want to read more about these topics, a few starting points:

1. Recent news (and Twitter discussions) about the University of California dropping the SAT.

2. Recent news about Lowell High School switching from partially-merit-based admission, to lottery-based admission. (And the court order from a few days ago, declaring this switch null and void.)

3. Thomas Sowell's books 'Economic facts and fallacies' and 'Charter schools and their enemies'. One of the points in these books (which include data) is that, when you adjust for things like parental educational level, number of parents in home, differences in outcomes between ethnic groups' career success often lessen or disappear altogether.
For HTTP/1.1 pipelining, not HTTP/2 which not all websites support, the curl binary must be slower because the program tries to do more than just make HTTP from URLs and send the text over TCP. It tries to be "smart" and that slows it down. But dont't take my word for it, test it.

For example, compare the retrieval speed of the above to something like

sed -n '/^http/s/^/url=/p' URLs.txt|curl -K- --http1.1
