I am a huge fan of Mikrotik. In the past, I have been worked for an ISP, and we made fantastic stuff with them. A CCR box that costs less than 1000€ can handle the same number of users, with advanced QoS queueing than an equivalent Cisco that costs 20x.
Having (almost) the same features to ever model, from the big boxes to the core routers, it's a big plus, they are very flexible, and they have almost all the features that a carrier-class router needs (the big lack at that time were OSPF-v3 and multi-core BGP).
Once you learn the CLI and some quirky configuration, it's worth the money.

The only problem is the availability: they are not stable as a Cisco/Juniper, but you can add several layers of redundancy with a fraction of the costs.
Also the support is very basic.
I have a few as well:

- You will face rejection (likely a lot). Don't take this personally and don't let it affect your confidence.

- Unless you are an outstanding interviewee, this is like a skill/muscle which you need to develop and practice. Hence ensure that you don't schedule your "dream job/company" early in the process. Keep practicing.

- Always have a beginner / practice mindset. Otherwise, you will accept the first (suboptimal) offer that you get as you will hate the interview rigmarole. Interviewing is annoying / painful. Accept it and work through it.

- Keep applying and talking to companies even after you have started negotiations. There have been companies which have told me that another candidate accepted before me( and hence the position is no longer available) even when they have "granted me time" to make my decision. Similarly companies rescind offers.

- Blowing hot(too many interviews in a short while) and cold (no interviews / interviews for a while) can be debilitating to your confidence. Hence ensure that you have a pipeline of interviews so you are talking to at least 1 company a week.

- Take notes and reflect on your performance in each interview and how you can do better.
This is really cool, thank you. I'm excited to see development in this space.
I've been with Hetzner for about 400 days straight now with no unplanned downtime.
Thanks for your comment! Re: your points:

1) That's sort of a tangential point. Maybe I wasn't clear in my original statement. But meetings that start immediately without any sort of ease-in, even if they are started on time (to your point), often feel really transactional. We're all working with other humans, not other robots! Remote work creates much less opportunity to connect with each other. Virtual meetings are one of the few times we do see our team face-to-face. And we should realize that socializing a bit can be just as productive as talking about actual "business". Icebreakers (even if the term sounds "cringe") are really helpful in that regard.

2) Agreed, your coworkers don't necessarily need to be your friends. At the same time, they also shouldn't be reduced to robots or black boxes that you interact with only when you need something from them. They're humans! As social creatures, we tend to work better with people when we trust them. Often, that trust is built on liking and/or respecting the other person. That's where icebreakers can be really important too.

I have used Slack at a few companies and it has worked fine for us. No reason it should work for you as well, of course; everybody's different.

FWIW, the thread-chasing thing is not a problem for me because toward the top there's a sidebar element that says "Threads" that lights up when there are new comments in threads.

I've used it only on Linux and haven't experienced input lag. Not sure what the story is there.
For popular works, tracking the life of the creator is doable. For less popular works, figuring out who the creator is can be rather difficult. And then figuring out if they're alive isn't always easy either.

The screen actors guild has somewhat of a highlander policy, but if I release something Copyright My Name, there's hundreds or thousands of people it could be, including a Pulitzer Prize winning author who will likely predecease me.
This is excellent! I have also found Sim Daltonism very helpful for testing out designs. They have a mac app that can add a colourblindness-simulating filter over an area of the screen, and an iOS app that can do the same with a live feed from the camera: https://michelf.ca/projects/sim-daltonism/
> Aren't there efficient techniques to prevent web scraping?

Not especially, since internet browsers make GET requests the same as scrapers. There are techniques around blocking user agents, rate limiting, etc. but that's an arms race against the scrapers.

The tricky part about blocking Google is that if you do, your site won't show up in Google search results. :)

I find this kind of reasoning bizzare.

Yes, the economic value and desirability are exactly the same. You just seem to discount the location of the condo as not being part of the value the condo is providing. But it is in fact the most important part of the value.

I am active in my community and I engage with NIMBY groups to try and better understand their motivation. The top reasons they give are more traffic, less parking, more noise, less park and trail space.

To add, my experience is limited to living on the edge of a mid sized city that is currently seeing lots of growth in sections that were rural (think 2 lane roads and wide open meadows and creeks). I have no idea why people oppose HD housing in big cities or rural areas.
Do you have an example of being able to rent a single bare metal node, with the cost of the rack already priced in? I've never seen it, especially not like Hetzner where it can cost as little as $50/mo all inclusive for a full server.

Yes, exactly. Culture of trust is the root. Many beneficial patterns emerge when you can have that: more critical PRs, blameless post-mortems, etc.
The problem is that some of people's preferences include externalities. I prefer that my neighbor upstream not dam or pollute the creek that runs to my yard. I prefer that my neighbor behind me not put up a 100 foot concrete wall that blocks my view of nature. But it's their property, as you say. So people band together and decide that they want to live in a community that abides by certain rules and pass zoning laws, getting us where we are today. Externalities are a thing, and surely at least some zoning makes sense.
Abuse implies a right. What kind of right does anyone have to see IP become public domain? The only reason that it should sunset at all is to release society from the burden of enforcing old IP at some point.
Ask HN: Is Airbnb Scamming Users?
I watched on the news that Airbnb renting Home Alone house, and the booking was supposed to launch December 7, 2021, at 2 pm EST. I waited the moment, but was disappointed when I saw no availability. Here’s a link to the property https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/53274539?source_impression_id=p3_1638880986_vk%2BM6B6U%2F%2BINZzvK&guests=1&adults=1#availability-calendar
Yeah I see some of that. People that live in cities tend to think the whole world is like that, people that live in rural areas tend to do the same, hence city people tend to think the world is a Malthusian disaster and rural people don't believe in climate change, as examples. It's a cultural divide because people are largely the product of their environments.
For sure. It's very much "where elephants dance" territory. Heck, I heard Slack's founder, Stewart Butterfield, on a podcast where he talks about the rich-get-richer dynamic that made doing Slack pretty easy once things got rolling. I can't imagine trying to compete against two competent companies with ~infinite money and a desire to own the space.
> - It is driven entirely by formal requirements and specifications
Can you explain why this is a bad thing? I've found that formal requirements and specifications are almost always good unless they're just vague (in which case: they're not really formal)

I have been in various projects for government and enterprises (non military, mostly medical and banking fields) with formal requirements and some without. I can say that those without always had better GUI and people using them liked it better.
I think that one major reason is that most people can't really imagine application without actually using it. Only once they are using it they can give you useful feedback (as in this is important, this isn't, make that action default etc.)

Another reason is that people that are not using it are writing requirements. For instance in a lot of medical applications, people who will write specs and requirements are Business managers or doctors (or both), but not radiology technicians and nurses that will actually use the software. So they have no idea of day to day workflow - just desired outcome.
So software will suck 100% if based only on their requirements (in my personal experience).
Sounds like they have a ways to go before they're truly competitive with Cloudinary.

The issue wasn't Rogan taking dewormer. The issue was that he was telling tens of millions of people that he "researched" COVID and decided that taking a toxic animal dewormer was a safer option than taking a vaccine and suggested that millions of people do the same.

It's understandable that people have issues with Moderna and Pfizer, since they are a new type of vaccine (mRNA-based) and we're not sure what the long-term affects of mRNA vaccines may be, but the J&J vaccine is made the same way that most other vaccines are made and those risks have been known for decades.
Your year on Netlify
As soon as your router hands off packets to your ISP, packet handling is either closed source software, or closed source hardware, anyway. Even if your gateway is open source, the chips it uses are not.
> Does anyone know why this form is not used?

Likely because early versions of C# (Pre-generics) wouldn't have had a good way to specifically offer a .Join method on string arrays specifically.

Now that we have generics, .Join() on an array normally refers to a type of Linq operation where you join two sequences together. You actually probably could make an extension method for your own usage in-app that would give you this functionality; if I had to guess why they didn't, I would assume it would consume Linq users.

OTOH that's kinda the nice thing about C# though. It's easy to go:

public static class StringArrayExtensions
{
public static string Join(this string[] arr, string joinToken)
{
return string.Join(joinToken, arr);
}
}

and package such utility functions into a shared lib for your team to use.

You refer to Citizens United and the right to spend money on things like advertisements and PACs and movies about current political candidates? Yes. But that was very speech-oriented spending.

How to Hire, Onboard and Manage a High-Impact Design Org
If you go through the order process, you'll see this item:

Yes, but CWIS isn't the only anti-air defense on a US Navy ship -- there's also the RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile, as well as vertically-launched anti-air missiles (RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile). CWIS is the weapon of last resort, after all of the other anti-air options have failed.

Additionally, ships are usually not alone. The other vessels in the battlegroup will also provide their anti-air capabilities. If they are with an aircraft carrier, then there are also planes to provide air defense.

Our corporate ForgeRock 2FA service is apparently broken. My services are behind distributed x509 certs so no problems there.

I agree, the dismissive racism of the American military command was paid for heavily.
Only if:

1. You're only considering works published by huge multinational publishers with the gigantic marketing budgets required to get immediate traction

2. You assume that works are published on a large scale for their initial publishing

Small time artists can spend years trying to get a work picked up by large publisher. Those who don't choose to use large publishers may be finding new audiences over longer periods.

Assuming that copyright should be designed around the use-cases of Comcast or Disney is the reason we're in the position we're in now.
Sadly i have quite opposite experience.
Back in the day hetzner was my first dedicated server provider (after i grew up from shared hosting).
I had some issues with HDDs and they replaced faulty one with another that failed shortly after, then another heavily used hdd.
I migrated to OVH then.
After some years i bought another server from them and it was okay, apart from couple of downtimes.
Some time ago i got interested in k8s and decided to setup personal cluster. So i tried to register account with them again, because when you don't have any services they delete your account completely (really?)

I failed. They silently suspended my account after i made payment for verification. I tried to register again, they asked for scan of my passport, i sent it, and they suspended my account again. No replies from support regarding that issue too.
Funny, because i went through validation process 2 times already (when i rented dedicated servers from them) and now i can't create account to use their cloud offering (and dedicated servers too)
I'd strongly question having confidence in the wide applicability of the results in respect to class or wealth, much less loneliness which one would guess skews higher than a random sample due to their data source being Mechanical Turk.

Both this paper and another paper it links to make it a point to state possible concern with getting their data this way. Aside from that, there are several important factors you would want to account for and the more you want to split out the data to isolate influences the larger the sample size you need. Their total sample size was only ~950, making each nested subset sample size progressively smaller than that.
> A city only "encompasses" suburbs because suburbanites drive to the city to work.

I didn’t say that a city encompasses (it's associated) suburbs, I said that the term “city” encompasses, within its meaning, suburbs, to the extent that these are often literally their own cities. The term does not only refer to metropolitan cores. When the source article refers to “virtually every city in the USA bans single family homes...”, you have to understand that virtually every city in the USA is not a metropolitan core city. The vast majority of cities in the USA are suburbs or isolated small cities in rural areas that are exurbs of or even not associated tightly with a metropolitan core.

Weighted by population things are different, but that's not what is referenced.

Society didn't used to be rich enough to afford to waste resources entertaining arbitrary meddling into what people did on their private property. If you didn't like that the carriage shop next door made hammering noises all day tough luck, society was not going to impede that business owner's ability to feed his family for no reason other than the abutters' luxury.

The problem is wealth. We've solved our other problems so now we have nothing better to do than complain about what nearby landowners do on their own damn private property.
Don't envy the engineers working on this right now. Good luck!
Things are always changing. In the early days it wasn’t possible to record music so it made sense to monetize indirectly. When it became possible to actually record music it was hard to distribute it until radio. Later the digital revolution made recording and distributing music so easy it collapsed the market value of recordings. Today, decentralized networks are the next technology poised to shape society and it seems that those who can create digital assets are leveraged to succeed
I'd love a subscription service that gives me access to all my local news sources
>"This then led to deterioration of journalism and its inevitable transformation into sensationalism and entertainment, again driven by the incentives of the ad-monetized business model, because clickbait makes more ad money."

People have this notion that the media used to be way more honest and impartial before the digital age but I doubt that was ever the case. Papers were playing fast and loose with the truth long before the ad revenue model in order to get subscriptions (edit: and quite frankly, to be partisan and shape public opinion). The internet no doubt accelerated things, but I assert it only exacerbated what was endemic to journalism itself.

Even George Washington had to deal with sensationalism and slander: "He regarded the press as a disuniting, "diabolical" force of falsehoods, sentiments that he expressed in his Farewell Address."

> why is this stuff almost always Python-based?

Because schools teach Python...

> but it is dynamically type checked,

There is a difference between type safety and dynamic vs static type checking. Static checking is actually more difficult to generate safe code.

> compiled languages produce better, more performant code,

It depends on the compiler/VM. For example taking a VM snapshot and saving it as a binary actually makes the program slower as it can not take advantage of runtime optimizations.

> and allow for application stability and longevity much more easily.

You could statically link an app and it would live through breaking changes in libs. But if there is an architecture or kernel breaking change your binary wont work at all - meanwhile a VM based language would work if it has support for the new architecture.

> Python may be your favorite language, and that's fine, and that alone doesn't immediately qualify it as a good choice for anything,

The best language is the language you know best. You will have to be a specialist programmer to know many languages so well that you could choose the best language for the job. And most languages are general purpose languages.

Arguments aside. My interpretation of the article is that the author thinks it should be as easy as python, not that Python itself should be printed into hardware.
> I am personally anti-populism, and think that civil cases with large financial stakes should be decided by an (appointed not elected) judge- not a random group of folks who can afford to skip work for two to four weeks.

US Federal judges are all appointed, not elected, so not much to worry about there.

The judge and jury serve different purposes in the US system. The judge's job is to decide questions of law, the jury's is to decide questions of fact. Appeals courts can generally only consider failures by the initial judge on questions of law, meaning it only gets overturned if the first judge really screwed up their job.

Given that, it's not clear to me how removing the jury improves the system.
