There's nothing wrong with a little Debrox once a month or so. The point is just to keep the wax from building up enough to get impacted, or close enough to affect balance and hearing.

I had impacted earwax once, years and years ago. They fix that with Debrox followed by irrigation, which was while not painful still perhaps the most weirdly unpleasant sensation I've ever experienced, and also made my head spin a little. Since then I've taken some care to avoid a repeat, and I suppose a nice side effect is that earbuds hold up a lot better.
Slighly off topic, but it would be interesting to see what other activities have increased or decreased as well. For example, what's happened with legal and illegal pharmaceuticals? What about foods (e.g., sugar)?

But publicly traded companies don't dilute their shareholders away. Those shares either have to be sold (meaning the company takes in proportional amounts of cash, driving the value up) or issued as compensation (which you can't just unilaterally in a publicly-traded company).

Your gold example is also very contrived because the futures market doesn't literally dilute away physical gold.

As for Bitcoin: You're missing the fact that while Bitcoin can't be manipulated away from 21 million, the Bitcoin markets can definitely be heavily manipulated by sufficiently large players and insiders. And there does seem to be ample evidence that this is happening.
I am a lawyer and also the CEO of Cloudflare. I have no idea why that clause is in our ToS. It was a surprise to me when it was pointed out recently. Not sure when or why it got included. Best guess is it was when some “stress tester” services decided to “benchmark” us by performing DDoS attacks and we thought we needed another justification to shut them off. Has been a loooong time since we worried about such things. Regardless, we decided weeks ago we’re removing the clause during the next ToS refresh. That’s scheduled for the coming weeks. And, in the meantime, have no issue with anyone benchmarking our performance. And seems we should do a more thorough and unimpeachable set of comparisons ourselves. Stay tuned.

Sounds like there's a lack of communication if Cloudflare published a benchmark blog post without the tech lead even knowing (better yet, finding out about the competitor's post first!).

I imagine it's pretty normal for the front-facing blog/PR department to be a bit disconnected from development, but we can't entirely blame Fastly for "complaining" seeing as Cloudflare already uploaded a bit of a diss post.

Anyways I think I once read a phenomenon where corporate environments eventually reach a point where the outside world knows more about the company than the employees. Not sure if this is actually an example of that or not.

Also I agree these blog posts are all kind of meaningless and people should do their own investigation if they're considering alternatives.

from https://www.blogto.com/tech/2021/12/delivery-robots-toronto-... :

For those who are vision or mobility impaired in particular, the bots can provide a tripping hazard or physical obstacle, groups like the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance argue, calling tools like Geoffrey a "a substantial and worrisome new disability barrier impeding people with disabilities in their safe use of public sidewalks and other paths of travel."

I'd expect that the oblivious-to-surroundings-until-last-moment-smartphone user would also be likely to trip over these tiny pink delivery robots. Their occasional glance up from their precious smartphone to check for incoming items works for human-sized objects approaching the smartphone user but would most likely miss these one-foot-high delivery bots.

> I'm surprised clang doesn't simply have a mode to do this already. Its weird we need this strange wasm dance

Compiling to WebAssembly doesn't make the code safe; it simply compiles it to a virtual machine with a memory model that isolates any bugs from the rest of the parent process (presuming a bug-free parent process).

Basically, all pointers in WebAssembly are indexes to a global array (or global arrays--one for data and another for functions). It's basically the same trick people use in Rust to get around restrictions on reference cycles. And like in Rust, the compiled code can still have the same dangling pointer and buffer overflow problems, but the memory thus referenced is restricted to the unstructured array, rather than to potentially any address in the parent process' address space.

The difference between Rust and WASM is that when you compile WASM to native code, at least when JIT'ing the code, you can completely elide the extra degree of memory reference indirection. (I don't think the extra indirection can be elided for AOT compilation of WASM code without a special runtime linking step.) The cost, however, is that you're left with this single global data array, so any bug in the WASM program can break any other part of the WASM program, whereas in Rust you effectively end up with many segments of unstructured memory (basically, one per component that uses the trick) that can't be cross-referenced if the program is buggy.
I suspect you're mixing up microseconds with milliseconds.

5 microseconds is a round trip distance of ~500 m in optical fibre, and is hence totally irrelevant for 100% of CloudFlare's end-users... unless they happen to live in a 2-block radius of a Cloudflare PoP and have their ISP providing them with Internet connectivity with direct fibre from the same data centre...

Why doesn't Fastly just gasp ask Cloudflare about performing a benchmark? If they say no, publish that.

I kind of agree here, but the problem is that big tech is not even matching the "demographics of the people obtaining the necessary skills to work in that department".

According to your own data, Hispanics got 8.16% of CS degrees; African Americans got 3.81%. Facebook tech workers are 4.6% Hispanics and 2.1% Black. Google tech workers are 5.3% Hispanic and 2.9% Black. Both companies are far away from even matching the percentages of the candidate field.

> The thing I think driving Bitcoin is that all the other assets that can absorb billions of dollars in liquidity are throughly manipulated.

Bitcoin can be just as much manipulated, if not more, because there's barely any regulatory oversight. Remember the two bots that traded Bitcoins with each other on Mt Gox to drive the price up (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/may/29/bitcoin-b...)? What makes you think something like this doesn't exist anymore? Especially with the Tether guys at the helm, who have been proven to lie in the past (https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2021/attorney-general-james-...), Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency investors should be worried.
I disagree we arent special. Not that we've been selected by the divine, but dont we sit down for long periods of time trying to model reality, speak multiple languages (sounds silly to a native english speaker but most of us non native had to first learn english just to make sense of programming languages constructs), do less drug, complain less, are more flexible to change, are willing to take ownership of creative work.

I mean this exists in factories and I ve seen it... but in the floor manager, not the dudes mindlessly putting small boxes into big boxes. I d love to put them in front of a computer and let them try but they dont seem to want to, or have the discipline to spend years learning english in the first place :s

And whatever the original reason, it's probably fair to say it's parental supervision, societal discrimination or whatever, but saying it's just experience is wrong imo. To even want to acquire this experience, is something I cant even explain, I just always wanted to and shaped my life around computers, and believe maybe naively that even with a difficult starting condition, I d have ended up coding eventually all things equal.

And it's okay to suspect capital owners will try to comoditize it but it's going to transform them into people able to talk to machines or transform us into capital owners - I dont think you can design algorithms to do what you want without willing to dig into them and for that you may always need special people ? We never comoditized electricians, and this is not a trade you can simply replace anyone with anyone, so...
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

> For such a small program ... the performance difference can be reduced significantly.

I think you're wrong. Small programs don't necessarily minimize the difference between languages. Small programs often exacerbate them. Often for weird, idiosyncratic reasons. Especially if you're measuring time-to-first-byte, and not letting the VM warm up.

For example, in this case I wouldn't be surprised if most of the CPU time was going into node + v8's startup, rather than executing the user's javascript at all.

Look at the plaintext techempower benchmarks[1]. These benchmarks test tiny amounts of code - the programs only have to respond with "hello world" HTTP responses. The best performers are hitting hardware limits. If your theory that small program = small relative cost of using javascript was true, nodejs's performance should be similar to rust / C++. It is not - node is only 13% of the performance of the top performers. Weirdly "justjs" (another v8 based runtime) is ~5x faster than nodejs on this test. The reason probably has nothing to do with javascript at all, and is because justjs has less overhead and talks to the OS in a more efficient way. (It probably uses io_ring.)

But maybe this is evidence you're technically correct. The performance differences can be reduced. But we have every reason to assume nodejs will have way more overhead than rust at executing the same code.

In all, I agree with other posters. A benchmark showing rust on fastly is faster than javascript on cloudflare tells us nothing about the underlying hosting providers.

>The big difference here is that CI/CD should ideally be taking away annoying

True. OTOH, I feel like some version of this is always sold as the worker-facing rationale for automation and increased productivity. For some jobs, it's "hey, we're going to automate your job away so you can go do something meaningful with your life". For devs, it's "we're going to automate this for you so you can focus on meaningful work here".

>The problem is that there's an expectation that this increase team velocity more than it increases quality of living.

That's it in a nutshell. The "gains" don't accrue to devs, but to the never-ending hunt for still more productivity.

And, I think that's a feature; not a bug. That is, from an organizational perspective, agile and all that it's ushered in (including devops and CI/CD) were never intended to improve dev quality of life. Instead, they're all about the highest LOC in the minimum time, a.k.a "productivity".
Team to Productize Video Library
I’m a senior spiritual teacher, well-schooled and realized in several authentic Eastern traditions. Over the last 20 years I’ve created >1000 instructional videos, totalling >500 hours of material, and related books. I want to make this material more accessible by creating an online presence, business and community around it. I’m the content creator, happy in that role, so I want to delegate the entire project.
Here’s my thinking so far:
• Assemble new—or recruit existing—team of Bangalore hackers with experience in the space. (Sorry, but few westerners would have the necessary broad cultural background)
• Incorporate something, somewhere (nonprofit? LLC?)
• Attract funding from existing fan base.
• Transcribe, edit & internationalize videos for impact and brevity (Descript.com, frame.io, milkvideo.com)
• Package and promote online video seminars.
• Something something web3, DAO, community, NFTs, tokens something something (this is the sketchy part)
• Design & launch Web3 teaching presence.
• Create ‘guest ashram’ where people arrange their own accommodations in India or Sri Lanka (don’t want to be hotel manager/housemother)
• Laugh all the way to the bank (no seriously, it’s a business)

If the threat is credible and imminent, yes. That's because killing people is obviously illegal, and those you threaten can reasonably take you at your word when you make a credible threat against them and respond accordingly to protect themselves. The speech is merely evidence of intent, not the crime itself. (Morally speaking, of course. Consult a local lawyer for legal advice applicable to your jurisdiction, as the law is not always moral or just.)

> I prefer to have two small blind spots that can't fit a cyclist in either of them than one larger that can fit a small car.

And I'd rather have only one small blind spot, while being better able to judge where things in my side mirror are relative to my car. And this wouldn't require a big change to the mirror, only a quite small one, if that diagram is accurate. Also, the field of view shouldn't be so narrow that a 4 degree tilt makes a blind spot too big (my head moves more than that all the time!).

Don't think this is the correct usage of externality... It's more that it's an acceptable risk, until it happens. Externality would imply the vast majority of drivers who are never involved in fatal accidents contributed to causing the accidents but did not suffer its consequences.
No, Tor and a VPN are not compareable services. The Apple VPN is a closed network run on servers run by Apple, so you have to put 100% of your trust in Apple, as opposed to the open network of Tor, where trust is (ideally) distributed among many different actors.
I made a very small edit to one sentence to change "don't believe either side's benchmarks" (or something like that) to "don't just go on other people's numbers", since the latter better reflects what I meant -- not that the numbers are false or intentionally misleading, but that they probably aren't reflective of your particular use case.

My brother was the first driver employed in a brand new amazon warehouse. He shook hands with the manager and came home to tell us the good news. He was hired! His start date of the following week was rescheduled many times. In fact, it went from August to November.

The rest was a like landing in an island all by yourself. Nothing works, no one can help you, and you are on your own. Sometimes, he would just sit in the truck for a moment, holding his head together not knowing what to do. That was until the cameras were installed in the truck for them slackers.

The only way he managed to survive there was out the generosity of random old time drivers that he met on the street. They gave him the ropes, shared private WhatsApp group where they coordinate and help each other with tips and tricks.
They had those before too. They could have just sent them away with a refurb like they used to, in and out quickly instead of corralling them waiting for screen repairs.
