Not sure what they mean by "build my own router", it's easy enough to flash open firmware on a lot of tp-link models. https://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2021/1...
If two movies disagree on the ordering, it is not necessarily the case that one of them is doing it "wrong".

(Author here.) Indeed! This is about trying to discover emergent conventions, so we can give first-time filmmakers a good starting point.

Or you could do it quadratically by making a matrix of A-follows-B frequencies and then summing up all pairs of entries in your list (normalizing by the length of the list). The latter takes more of the graph structure into account.

This is what PageRank (Experiment 3) does!

The last thing is that the article seems to take NP-hardness too seriously. Sure, if you really had to consider every possible permutation, it would take too long. But there's way more than enough structure in the problem to take advantage of.

I ask this question in a footnote [0] -- is this permutation space amenable to gradient descent? Don't know the answer! If someone knows this area well I'm all ears.

I was in this same boat, but did you know that data breach was completely fabricated by a disgruntled employee? They didn’t actually leak any data or had any real breach. It’s still not great that this was doable, but at some level, someone has to have the keys to the kingdom.

I think Ubiquiti makes really nice gear for prosumers, and it is completely unfair that their good reputation has suffered so much over this incident.
It's probably a final PR from multiple smaller, reviewed ones, I would guess.

This type of whackery is (the primary reason) why I try to buy computing devices on which I can flash a clean OS (OpenWrt/DD-WRT for routers)[1]. It sucks because it limits my choices down to a few, but at the same time I feel like I don't throw out money at abandonware.

[1] don't even get me started on TP-Link releasing routers with the same name but v2/v3/2020/2021 update where it's hard to even know if I'm buying the one that supports the custom OS flash.

I'd love it if the Wayback Machiine were less touchy/more reliable.

The failure mode I see very often is that the frontend apparently doesn't know what the backend's doing: The part which ingests URLs and tells you what URLs have been archived does not know what archives the backend has, so it will tell you a page has been archived and give you a link to the archive, but when you click the link, it tells you it does not have the page archived, oh, look, it exists online, would you like to archive it now? Archive it again, and it will tell you that you can only archive a page once every 45 minutes. If you're a weird little obsessive like myself, you go through this process a half-dozen times for one page before it acknowledges that, yes, it does have the page archived (once, mind you) and you can actually see it.

While I'm filing bitch reports...

The Wayback Machine apparently loves setting cookies. It will set cookies until it has exceeded its own ability to accept cookies, at which point it will give you a blank page and you have to look in the developer console to figure out that it sent you a "too many cookies" error in the response header. I've had to force my browsers to not accept any cookies from the Internet Archive to fix this.

Too bad fon/fonera didn’t span out. The idea was to share your access point (in a secure way) and earn credits for doing so.
I certainly hope they would use a Firefox basis rather than another Chromium based crap-ware.
I like products from GL-inet. I have one of their small routers for my house, native support for OpenWRT, without doing anything difficult to install it (no need to flash via serial port, there is also a nice uboot recovery web interface in case you brick the device by flashing the wrong image as I did!), everything works nicely out of the box.

They are small AP so not that big range, but rather inexpensive and you can have a lot of them in your house (of course if you already have a wired network).

And by the way if you don't want to bother flashing OpenWRT... the stock firmware is already a custom build of OpenWRT, and fully unlocked, you can connect in SSH, install Luci, and install packages without limitations. Of course you can also use the simplified web ui that they provide that is nice. I installed a custom version just because I wanted to have more updated packages, but the stock one works fine if you only need an AP.

Stop eating carbs: bread, crackers, pasta, cereal, fruit, juice, potatoes, sugar, starchy vegetables like beans, peas, corn, no sodas, no alcohol. Once you are at your target weight, you can go back to eating the things that are nutritious, but no junk.

If combined with a confined window of eating, like 11am to 5pm, you'll lose weight faster.
I disagree. I used Emacs for a couple of decades until I hopped onto VS Code. The Python setup was particularly nice, as it did everything I hoped for with no special configuration.

That said, Microsoft’s gotta Microsoft, and between their GitHub shenanigans and their proprietary language server, I’ve switched back to Emacs. BTW, turns out elpy has been coming along nicely and offers nearly as nice of an out-of-the-box experience as VS Code, and is better in some ways.
Yeah. All the explanations are a waste of words if OP isn't happy with the process. The process isn't going to improve. If it's not to your taste, bail as soon as your deal is complete (might be already).

Personally, I think we all win if the people who want to move fast are in situations where they can move fast.

There have also been presentations, videos, academic papers, etc., which should all be documented in the monthly reports.

I'm in a similar boat. I feel your pain.

I was an engineer and very early employee at a startup. I helped grow it from four clients to many millions in revenue and a successful exit. I nurtured a team of amazing engineers. I felt like I needed to stick around to see the product off to a good start and my team thriving at their new home. I was also excited because I hadn't worked at a large company since I was just out of college and I was interested in the unknown challenges that awaited.

Our parent company isn't quite as bureaucratic as yours sounds, but it's more bureaucratic than our original company, for sure. But they said all of the right things. More resources. More opportunities for personal and team growth. But things wouldn't change and we'd be left alone to continue our success but with more fuel and maybe a slight shift to integrating more smoothly with the rest of the company's products.

I also found myself in a leadership position, so I thought I could change what few small things I noticed as a bit inefficient in the the culture to be a bit more responsive.

Long story short: I'm looking for another growth stage startup to join. I probably should have done so right away.

First warning -- the new company was obsessed with what title I should have. The startup didn't put much weight in titles. We did what needed to be done. My official title was Director of Engineering -- mostly to make clients happy when I talked to them, but they definitely could not have that...that tier was full. I ended up a Solutions Architect and Technical Manager. Ok, cool. Similar responsibilities and team.

Second warning -- lots of leadership changes at the home office. We've had three CEOs since we've been acquired. We're just the right size to be a stepping stone for ambitious leaders. It's kind of amazing that we have CEOs step into a very complex organization selling very complex solutions and they expect to learn enough to make an impact in a month. Then they start to pursue their agenda with verve! So...they inherit the broad brushstrokes of the previous administration, add a few of their own, and the organization is off on a new adventure. Unfortunately, it's a recipe for a lot of stuff to be ignored. The previous agendas that might have been the first step in a fine program of ideas that would lead to wonderful things becomes The Agenda. Predictably, the first step isn't enough to see a whole lot of fruit so...yeah.

Third warning -- we weren't allowed to even talk about creating new products. We're an acquisition company, now. We buy winners. We don't risk creating losers. Not so fun for someone who Really Loves Creating New Things.

So...here I am envying your early clarity. Large companies are just different. I am starting to believe innovation at scale is rare, if it exists at all. If I were you, or me two years ago, I'd start looking for a better fit.

Let the MBAs run these companies through the motions of the terminal stages of the business lifecycle. I'm ready to get back to bringing new things to life. It sounds like you are, too.
If you have a home router, do yourself a favor and install OpenWrt. You won't have to worry about the UI lying to you.
Many TP-Link products are absolutely terrible. Their Mesh products at Costco, you have to use an app on your phone to manage them and they are tied to an online account so presumably they are shipping your network info back to China. They won't even let you change your login email address once you've registered.
This is really interesting to me. I've basically just silenced all those calls and my life is much better for it. Interesting that they're in theory passing STIR/SHAKEN.
I understand modern JavaScript development is a giant leap forwards compared to JavaScript development 10 years ago. Nobody is arguing with that.

Your last statement is completely wrong, though.

ReactJS/hooks are not zero-cost abstractions. They impose a cost both in terms of real performance as well as cognitive complexity.

And when you run into performance issues you're almost certainly confronted with this pattern of escalation (assuming you've done nothing wrong):

1. Litter your Code with calls to useMemo/useCallback.

2. Re-evaluate your business needs because you've exhausted the hooks "primitive".

3. Iteratively and painstakingly force more and more logic out of ReactJS' scope until you've met your benchmark targets.

Following along quickly requires intricate knowledge of poorly documented but overwhelmingly complex ReactJS internals alongside(!) whatever knowledge of JavaScript internals is required.

You have to have and process 2 complex, unique and outright byzantine models in your mind simultaneously.

Compare this to Angular(!) which lets you use standard web APIs, additionally exposes useful standard(!) primitives, and(!) provides you with straight-forward(!) opt-out mechanisms.

Even HEVC works depending on the client support; for example, I stream h.265/HEVC to my 4K TV and it decodes it just fine. (Which makes me wonder what formats the OP has things stored in that plex has to transcode, or what client device they're using)
I'd like to see some serious work on the other proposal for "living off the land" in interstellar space.

We know comets and other interstellar bodies contain a lot of hydrogen which has a higher deuterium content than hydrogen on Earth.

Designs such as ITER and stellerators should scale up with increasing size and it's plausible that D+D fusion could be developed on the existing path. In fact a very large "inertial confinement" fusion device was fired based on D+D

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Mike

and got a massive positive energy return.

D+D fusion produces He3 and T, both which are better-burning fuels than D+D. These can be burnt all the way up to He4 in one big reactor, but one can imagine a system that separates out some He3 and T to be burned in smaller secondary reactors. D + T fusion produces terrible neutron radiation but you can let the T sit and it decays with a 12-year half life to He3 and use the much cleaner D + He3 reaction in secondary reactors with favorable scaling, less shielding, no breeding system, etc.

Those travelers only need to get to the next comet so they don't need to be terribly fast, but the great advantage they have is a sustainable lifestyle even if they never arrive at another star -- those kinds of travelers might not find planetary systems interesting at all.
You raise a fair point here - good managers protect their employees’ time, however in this case, the the task was not a “personal task” but rather an initiative handed down from the parent company, without giving OP the proper resources and guidance to complete the task.

If that’s the case (and having found myself in that position many times, it likely is), this a failing of the parent company. I’d expect those managing the integration to assign point people, both technical and managerial, to assist with OP’s task, schedule introduction meetings and communicate expectations to both teams. That’s not too much to ask. It sounds like OP was left to navigate the situation on their own.

I have an unsubstantiated hunch that the longer traffic lights are on average, the more people text while driving. Why? In cities I've lived in where the traffic lights are shorter, no one gets out their phone because as soon as you do, you'll have to put it away because the light turned green. So you never get into Twitter/Facebook/etc. But if the stop lights are very long, people get engrossed in social media, then when the light turns green, their mental inertia keeps them wanting to read more. So they read while they're driving.

Would be interested to know if anyone has actual research on this.
Horrifying. My nervousness about highway driving in the dark just got worse.
It's just different priorities.

Startups are busy trying to build a functional house of cards.

Established businesses are trying to keep employees from knocking over that functional house of cards.
I don't think the entities/system are really that relational. Data is not denormalized in the same way and joins don't really exist. Indices are an after thought. Full sequential scans are the main access pattern.

But, it's easy to think of data for a component system as a table where each row is associated with an entity so I can see why you draw the similarity.
What’s your issue with SNI/threat model? If you use a non-SNI site, anyone can tell which site you are visiting since there’s only one domain on that IP.

It depends. Special Forces team typically cut through a lot of that bullshit. Perhaps there in lies the answer. If you want the resources of a large organization and the freedom of a startup you need to look for the smaller elite teams within the org.
Thanks for the detail, yes now I really look forward to that :)

The author touched on right of repair. I’d love to see a law requiring all devices to either be supported, or if being sunset, being required by law to provide tools/source/schematics to take over the device and extend its utility beyond the manufacturer’s willingness. Particularly a last firmware that disables anything requiring phoning home to continue to function. We saw that with OnHub recently, when after only 6 years Google decided to render a lot of devices e-waste. The least they could do is recycle them for you at their own cost.

British Columbia laid down some laws about handheld devices in cars, along with fines and points. It seems to have made a difference. If we were to sensibly switch to a proportion-of-wealth system for fines, as in Norway, I think we’d see even better results. A few people racking up $20k fines would grab people’s attention.
There's a massive bubble with people throwing money into anything and everything.
I guess that makes sense. Recently i got an email from a VMware recruiter for a conference aimed at Bulgarians living outside of Bulgaria, to talk about opportunities at VMware Bulgaria. They must be pretty desperate for talent to make such reaches, even if it makes sense from their end, they can offer something rather unique.
> The amount of people on HN nowadays that are okay with getting nothing useful done is striking.

You're mistaking the role of a mature company. Unlike a startup, in a mature company there are a ton of customers relying on your product and making sure you don't f*k up their business with a mistake or careless change is much more important than building cool new stuff quickly. You don't want your bank "moving fast and breaking things". There are a whole lot of industries where stability and consistency are an order of magnitude more important than fast innovation. This may not be as sexy or fun as rapidly prototyping some MVP, but it's how a lot of important stuff that runs the world works. To this end, a large org may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Yes, there will be some waste and bureaucracy at any large org, but that's not the same as a place full of people "that are okay getting nothing useful done". If anything, it's the established boring companies that are doing something useful (even if that something is not sexy or exciting), while a lot of startups are just burning through someone else's money designing things that no one really wants or needs.
> This doesn't explain why they wouldn't accept the offer of work from /u/lopkeny12ko.

I know of at least two teams who would kindly ask me to refrain from doing this; me doing the work doesn't mean they don't have to do any. They still have to take the time to review my code, provide feedback, possibly explain to me their standards and conventions. Afterward, they have to maintain and own my changes - what if I introduce a bug? What if the feature is popular enough that they now have to add additional functionality onto it?
> It feels more like renting a computer than owning one.

These corporations don't really want us to own anything. There's always a "license", "terms" or whatever. They're just generously allowing us to use the computers we paid for.
