Hi John!

I've actually had a Cloudflare account since 2018, but have never seriously used it for one reason or another. I also own NET shares that have treated me quite well (thanks). Anyways, I digress, but since you've taken the time to respond to me I decided to go digging on the Cloudflare website and see if I could find any policy or promises that could give some higher level of assurance (than what, I'm not entirely sure. Something more than GoDaddy, I suppose? Not that that's what I currently use).

During a somewhat thorough (though admittedly hasty) search of my account dashboard and the help center, the only related thing I could seem to find was this [0] support article which is only tangentially related. It also only seems secure from social engineering attacks because it does not actually reference any human contact. I did also click through 90% of the support contact form (which I'm glad exists!), for whatever that's worth.

Looking at any of the offerings available (Namecheap, GCP, etc), I'm honestly not even sure how to differentiate offerings (no one says they're insecure), except to maybe do basic reputation comparisons. Given the level at which I depend on my various services, it would be reassuring to hear something as extreme as needing a notarized letter for account recovery!

Maybe you can speak to this?

As a complete tangent (not targeted at you): it seems that getting details like this fleshed out is kind of impossible unless you're doing large B2B deals. Somewhat related, I've noticed a large trend towards companies that are difficult to get a hold of (you can see the litany of posts here on HN about it), and companies that pine over the little guys are few. Thinking on it, of the companies that did respond well to requests to support, I can't think of one I don't still use to this day.

Sorry for the wall of text! Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks!

The stuff that ASTs let you do really flexibly is almost always lost to people because they're not aware of it. A lot of other developers would try to do this with string or regex matching, and that often leads to painful experiences.
Ever consider fun, sex, action?

They get to evaluate and inherit the infrastructure density too.

Density of humans means density of networks of humans. This decreases the cost of having many things available. You want to be around other people that have justified those things and didn’t find it hard to, because you inherit their superior networks too.
I literally just asked Siri: "set a timer for 5 minutes". She responded with: "I set your alarm for 5AM".

So .. frustrating.

Surely there are Apple employees reading HN? This is an embarrassment.
Evolution is really very clever not just in the how our neurons control our bodies but also in how our physical forms make the motions we need to perform natural. As an extreme case, there's the famous video of a fish able to swim upstream despite being dead[1]. Working with robotic grasping professionally has made me acutely aware of how awesome my hands are and how much easier they make daily life compared to simpler alternatives. All of which is to say that we shouldn't think about the tardigrades locomotion just in terms of the neurons its using.

Bravo! Amazing work.
Both HTTP and SMTP are client/server because you cannot read SMTP without a "client"... The crucial part of these protocols are simple text that use DNS for distributing the connecting.

HTTP can be used for server to server too... and I recommend it.

So to repeat you need to implement HTTP, SMTP and DNS in you server software so that you can self host all 3 on your own hardware.

This means asking your fiber ISP to open all ports (25, 53, 80) and give you a static IP!

DNS is centralized for now... but eventually it wont be.
I went through the Insights Discovery course [0], which sounds a lot like what tfa is discrediting. At work we still talk about the colors of people years after the course.

After reading tfa I still feel that there is value in this system, but mostly wrt awareness. The course recognizes a spectrum and everyone has aspects of all colors. Many people at my employer are primarily green or blue. During the courses it came out that they (the "introverts") do indeed want to say stuff during meetings but feel like they can't get in on the conversation. This was an eye opener to me, I just thought they didn't want to speak. I now try to pay more attention to these people. That's a win in my book. I also realized that there are people that like to think long before they talk, after a meeting you can revisit them later and they have nice insights which don't come up during a discussion (in contrast, I only have insights during discussions although I may often say things that aren't well thought through, I sometimes call it "thinking against others", typical yellow ;) ).

Like with every framework/mantra/insight/label if you aren't dogmatic about it (looking at you, Agile!), it may provide some value as a model (and models are often incorrect in details and have exceptions, just be very aware of that). I don't really see a better way for someone like me (totally unaware of psychology as a scientific field) to use their insights other than through these simplified, wrong-perhaps-but-useful, frameworks.

Edit: Honestly, to me as a molecular biologist, the whole field of psychology is a model for some neurological truth which is a model again for particle physicists which is a model again for mathematicians... Right (or am I using the wrong model ;) )? We all try to fit some labels on some complex continuum constantly. Sometimes it's pretty useful for our limited minds, and sometimes indeed it may lead us horribly astray. Is tfa an example of the latter? I'm not really convinced.

Probably the humidity. In the western part of North Dakota, it's generally a bit dry so it doesn't _feel_ quite so cold. That's a big difference from even say, Grand Forks or Fargo which are right next to the Red River.
I just wanted to say that's really great advice!
Maybe try somewhere like Scotland, especially the Highlands? You'll get similar-ish weather and nature, but you'll speak the language and it'll be easier to work remote for London companies.

Some hiring freezes have actually continued even to today. I applied to one postdoctoral fellowship in the Bay Area in March 2020, and the organization still sends me a monthly update that they have suspended all hiring due to the pandemic and will resume hiring once the pandemic is over (as ill-defined as that may be). That's almost two years at this point. That is a lifetime for young scientists. I agree that decisions like these do effectively end the scientific careers of many young scientists, or at least push them out of science as a career choice. It's sad but true.

Do note that this is an issue for future events.

For past events, you can store timestamps, it doesn't matter, the mapping is known and fixed.
If that machine still exists it should be relocated to the front court of a science museum as a lesson to others.
A country can either have a democracy or a dictatorship. Unless you know a 3rd option, I would love to hear it.

And as history has proven many times, dictatorships never end well.
A better option would be to set government policies that encourage growth of high paying jobs in other areas instead of cramming everyone into one geographically constrained area.
Can't you just fire an employee for whatever reason? Any change in contract is then equivalent to fire and hire.
That's just how proprietary licenses prefer to work. Licenses can do anything contracts can do. Copyleft licenses can grant rights to your users, and if the court believes the rights were granted, it can enforce them.
You missed the word “jobless” in the comment. The jobless, especially when the person is in essence unemployable due to mental illness is not going to be successful at self maintaining housing at $2.5k, $1k, or even $100/mo.
You can't efficiency to net-zero. It helps, but it can't be the primary mechanism.
Because they wanted to live there, basically.

If you view a city as nothing more than rent and groceries and you get most of your entertainment at home, then big cities probably don’t feel like a good value proposition.

But if you enjoy going to events, eating out, socializing with a wide variety of motivated people, and otherwise experiencing everything a city has to offer, a big city is the place to be.

Neither answer is “right” for everyone. It’s an individual preference.
Looks like I lost the context. In terms of the context:

The issue is, besides having to rewrite code, it’s not just one function. It’s time_64(), but now we need gmtime_64(), strftime_64(), stat_64(), and so on for any and all functions which use timestamps.

The thinking in Linux land is that we won’t have 32-bit applications come 2038 where this matters, because everything will be 64-bit by then.
I thought that too initially, but if you think about the physics it makes sense.. the larger the mass the more stable the object, the lower the frequency of acceleration needed to adjust it's trajectory. Also even though it's dynamic, it's not articulated or anything like dynamic robots.

Take the opposite, a little quad copter, very low mass, will need very high frequencies. I used to manually fly miniature remote control helicopters before all of the automatic control stuff came in, they were extremely, inherently unstable, very tricky to control.
> Hot take: if it's something that's universally a good thing that should be required of every driver, it should be provided by the state and paid for with taxes / annual registration fees.

Which it is in some jurisdictions, e.g., BC, Quebec. In the jurisdictions where it is done by the private sector, it is generally heavily regulated.

> Oh, and fun fact: the liability insurance isn't required to pay up anything unless the covered driver loses in court.

This depends on the jurisdiction: in the province of Ontario, with is a "no fault" area, there are few(er) court cases:

> Ontario has a "no-fault" car insurance system, but this does not mean that no one is at fault in an accident. The term "no-fault" insurance simply means if you are injured or your car is damaged in an accident, then you deal with your own insurance company, regardless of who is at fault. You don't have to go after the at-fault driver for compensation.

* https://mitchellandabbott.com/no-fault-insurance.php

> Essentially, no-fault insurance in Ontario is that in the event of an accident (without or without collision coverage), all drivers involved will process individual claims through their own insurance companies to get coverage for damages and injuries. It’s a system that has prioritized the claims process for drivers who need reimbursement so that the drivers aren’t kept waiting.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-fault_insurance

There's even a specific regulation called "Fault Determination Rules" that covers the most common cases:

* https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900668

There are pros and cons for both public/government versus private insurance, and 'fault' versus no-fault insurance, regimes.
Sorry for maybe asking a stupid question, but if i understand correctly, the nounce is just a secret as the private key. But the nounce is not needed for the signature check? So, it can be choosen random and then simply forgotten after signature generation?
After first quick google search, it looks like there is also the term nounce use here but it is deterministic and just counted up which does not seem to fit with the article: https://developpaper.com/the-nonce-of-ethereum/
Am I missing something?
I never realized there was an article scoped 'past' link.
The book maybe is garbage, but it makes people think about others feelings and goals in meetings.

This is already much more than an average person does walking into a social situation.
I didn't move, I was already living in a nice house in a remote village (altitude 1000m) in the French Alps. I wouldn't go anywhere else for now, but my wife has plans for us to move somewhere near a beach (think one of the many sunny French islands) in 10 years from now, when the kids have grown.

I love this way of life. I wouldn't apply for a non-remote job nowadays.

I don’t think email is as decentralized and federated as it used to be.

In theory, email is a service that is simple enough for anyone to run themselves. Most Linux distros come with sendmail, so theoretically it should be as easy as reading the manual and exposing some ports. Spam is performed server side both at the origin and at the destination to mitigate bad actors, and because email is simple, there should be no shortage of clients to choose from.

In reality, 1/4 of all email users globally are on Gmail. Apple Mail is the most popular mail client followed by Outlook, then Gmail. SMTP and IMAP are theoretically simple, but the bellwether providers use APIs on top of these protocols that have added some functionality at the expense of restricting the proliferation of email clients. Many large companies that used to run their own email (through Exchange, Zimbra, etc) are moving to hosted Office 365 or Google Workspace. One major AWS-scale outage in Gmail or Azure will incite (and has caused) serious panic and disruption (which is great for SREs like me since we’ll continue to get paid serious money to keep all this stuff running while maintaining a healthy work-life balance, but I digress).

Furthermore, one doesn’t simply “stand up” their own email server unless they don’t care about landing in people’s spam folders.

Additionally, many companies outside of the US _do_ use WhatsApp (Facebook) for official communication. I’d posit that this trend is only accelerating.

I agree that email is fundamental technology, but I can see a future where it disappears in favor of something like federated Slack (or, worse, instant messaging centralized and controlled by the FAANG cabal with insurmountable cost-of-entry). Given the suppression of “free speech” on Twitter et al during peak COVID/peak insurrection (for valid reasons), this is slightly worrying.
My rule of thumb is basically: would I have a good time taking an aimless walk here, among the buildings? Are they pleasing to look at? Will I come across friends and neighbors on the sidewalk? Will I discover nice places to eat, get a cup of coffee, browse for books?
Was remote before COVID, but pandemic madness and home prices in Toronto had me itching to get out. After 25 years in Toronto I moved 3.5hr drive North to a beautiful city with gigabit internet, lakes and wilderness. I got a house more than twice as big for 1/3 the price of what I sold for.

Because of the reduction in personal burn rate, I was able to leave my soul sucking job and join a tiny startup to get back to my roots.

It's hard to make friends as an adult during COVID, so there's times when it's lonely for sure.
I dont buy that. I've been in positions high enough at previous companies so that I had access to the detailed P&L sheets.

When doing a monthly/quarterly or yearly plan, there is a budget set for human resources. Theres an allocated budget for each open position, and a plan of when those positions will be opened .

Even at the most chaotic there was something like that.

All companies could easily use that budget as a proxy to provide at least a range for each position.

Most dont do it because they dont want to leave money on the table.
This is a cool post thank you. I knew about ASTs but did not know how to build them easily for Python so the second half was very useful for me.
At work we used https://distcc.github.io/ to offload large C compile jobs to our "jet" which is a 4U/8N Supermicro decommissioned machine with 2 x E5-2680v4 CPUs, 128 GB RAM, and 6x 960GB Crucial SSDs per node (224 cores total). It's linked with a Mikrotik CRS-309 10GBe switch to our main gigabit switch. The server is VERY VERY loud and idling at 500 W / compiling at almost 3 kW. The price was about US$10k for all of it. We also use it as NAS / backup for some things since it runs on ZFS raidz2. Very much worth it (using it as a team) but YMMV.
Without hot air is pretty badly dated. I kind of wish people would stop referring to it.

The author died before the economics of wind (and more recently, batteries) started making sense. In the book he persisted in sarcastically calling them "windmills".

> I need my code to build/run today and also in 10 years

I think you should stick with C if this is a hard goal. Let Rust settle for some years before going all in.
Yeah, that's a thing with us swedes in general, and perhaps also with tech people in general. Combine the two and...
Of course I do. I should have added "/s" ...
I'm actually surprised that American remote tech folks aren't pouring into Europe where the quality of life is an order of magnitude better (especially on a US salary). And it's especially more viable now with all the digital nomad visas.

Wheezy Waiter has a video on trying biphasic sleep, and his conclusion was: If you wake up at 3, get up and do something. When you get tired, go back to sleep. Second sleep is the best sleep.

I tried that for a while and want to try it again, because it worked great for the week I tried it before falling out of the habit.

This is a reality of being a software developer anywhere. If you need a job or money, and someone is offering, you will probably take the job.

Viral is a nice person, I've met them once before. I sincerely doubt their involvement in any project like this was malicious or greed driven at the expense of others well being. Anyone who has worked for a govt or a large advertising company is doing things like this, or worse. If anything Viral is just another person who took a job they may or may not have understood or agreed with. Not agreeing with or normalizing the realities of this project, I don't know anything about them.

I will say this. It is deeply unfair given what we do know about the project to shame or blame any single person for this sort of thing.
Anything that boils an entire branch of science down to something this simple is by definition a scam.

The funniest part of the article was how Forbes lists this as a top ten must-read. And why wouldn't it, removing all nuance and operating on big words invented by an "expert" is peak C-level thinking.

Finally, I feel obliged to point out that the four types described are essentially the Houses of Hogwarts with the colors switched around.
Why wouldn’t they just stick it on a short nail with a wide flat base? It would be a lot more economical. Also, there’s no mention of wax on them, which can take a long time to break down.

Edit: oop.
The cheapest, most well understood way of handling “when the wind isn’t blowing” - which is almost a red herring given how different weather patterns are across a grid - remains building more wind farms and variably pricing electricity.
Wait, how does it work? What is signed is hashed, including the nonce.

People use some kind of "replace by fee" transactions all the time, as far as I know these broadcasted transactions, typically with higher fees, have the exact same nonce as the previous one.

If simply reusing the same nonce allowed someone to crack the private key, it'd be a much bigger issue than a few wallet emptied. It'd be a tremendous amount of wallets emptied, daily.

Can someone explain in more details?
And yet we still see fools in the US who actually believe that Myers-Briggs personality types like "INTJ" are somehow meaningful. It's hilarious.
As a swede. This is the first time I've seen this 4 colour system. I'm 30, so maybe it's more popular around younger people?

I have seen things like "INTP-J" on friends profile. I think it's called 16 personalities.

Me and my colleagues did that test, and the suggested one for me did not fit in with me at all, and most of us thought the results were bullshit. Why anyone would follow this to make work groups, or to exclude people in their life is mind boggling.

I'm not a psychologist but this sentence:

"""Modern evidence-based methods in behavioural science adopt the ground principle that people’s behavior mainly depend on context."""

doesn't have any source to back it up and is opposed to what I have read about the introvert/extrovert divide which seems to be more genetic than context dependent for example. And those are character traits that directly shape behavior (I'd rather read a book when low on energy vs. go to a party). Maybe someone can clarify this for me. The fact that the author uses "shy" and "outgoing" also doesn't instill much faith in me. The next section even mentions the big five but I don't think these traits are "mainly dependent on context". I'm a bit confused.

Nevertheless, an interesting story/find. The color system seems so obviously ridiculous that it amazes me how popular it got. Lesson learned. People like categories and simple explanations. Coincidentally, that's also one of the main sources of (unintentional) bias.
This could be interesting. Value is assigned by people, so the fact the credentials for a given work reside somewhere else with 'less legitimacy' would mean yes - you could copy it. However this other chain would be entirely illiquid.

But...the interesting part. What happens when cross-chain asset movement is much simplified? I don't see there being any issue with legitimacy (original owners could still verify ownership, you couldn't). But if you flooded original chain with fakes, uh...

Talked myself out of it. nevermind
I believe the idea is that it solves two problems simultaneously, using excess wind when it’s available and making our domestic gas supplies “greener”.

The vast majority of uk homes have gas powered central heating (hot water radiators), there is no good route forward to upgrade/replace all of this infrastructure to make it “green”. You can’t economically run a hot water central heating system using an electric heat pump, the required temperatures are too high, so you either need to rip it out and replace the whole system with a modern one or at least either replace all the radiators with underfloor heating or masive wall mounted radiators (very expensive for the 10s millions of homes, this isn’t just a new boiler).

A hybrid hydrogen/natural gas or synthetic gas is a way to go green but keep the existing infrastructure either with a new boiler or hopefully minor component changes.

So while it may not technically be “best usage” in the academic sense, it could be argued that it is a sensible use economically for the UK.
IIRC a single turn of one of these turbines generates enough power for an average family house for one day.
Incredibly depressing. I hope you got out.
> Companies will want to stay far enough from the line so that they don't get sued.

idk what legal precedent is, but if i was hiring i could make a large good faith salary range.

job candidates are different. post a large but meaningful skills list youre looking for and be willing to hire the right person that doesnt meet all your bullet points. a college grad with 0 experience or a no-college with 4 years of experience or a college grad+4 years exp all might be the right person, but deserve significantly different salaries.
Electrification saves money over the long term. So any solution which costs money is less feasible than electrification.
