As a longtime product designer in the process of refreshing my development skills, one of the things I appreciate about Rails is how transparent and evident it’s point of view is. Without too much trouble I’m able to understand both the jobs the tool is suited for and whether I’ll enjoy the experience of learning / working with it. Many other frameworks / languages I’ve experienced require a more significant investment of time before I’ve been able make a similar assessment. The feeling of investing a few months into a dead-end is unpleasant.

I’m sure an experienced engineer is much more able to make these assessments; however as a perpetual dilettante in this space clear signaling is such a time-saver.
i would for sure
Also building on web3. I agree about authorization (permissions) but not about identity/authentication.

We do not need people to have to disclose their identities in order to use a service. We already have an authentication mechanism on every blockchain - the notion of an address/account. What we need is a decentralized way to associate permissions with those accounts.

This is something that must happen more by social consensus - projects adopting a standard. The technology already exists.
All of the "serious" profilers support this. Intel have a bunch of tooling for diagnosing threading issues, AMD also have some less polished but still functional metrics you can use.
Fair enough lol
My company blocks so much inane crap it’s ridiculous. Any site not explicitly reviewed by the firewall company? Blocked. Want to Google restaurants for lunch? Half the restaurants websites are blocked under the firewall rule against “alcohol and bars”. So much more.

Trying to talk to IT about it is painful. I had to go through three levels of support over a week just to get a single site unblocked.

Before Work-from-Home started, Brave’s Tor support was a godsend just for getting actual work done.

Before my department got bought out, our old company had pretty draconian blocking as well, but if you explicitly plugged into the ethernet ports in the developer area they were wide open.

And no, we’re not in any sort of industry where it really matters. Privately held educational software company.
I'm pretty sure Telegram is outside of US jurisdiction and can trivially respond with a middle finger.

Google's only real option here is to either engage in cat & mouse trying to block this usage or threaten a Play Store removal which comes with its own drawbacks (Telegram has significant marketshare).

Ah, thanks, I wasn't sure there was any moderation on here.

That's a good thing in general, though I suppose the example cited is an example of moderation most of us would consider poor or undesirable.
Git uses a kind of blockchain and is often centralized rather than distributed.
What works for adults does not work for children.

For example we use different dosages per kg in adults and children. Please note dosage per kg and not total dosage.

Also the immune system works differently.

So please do not spread this information. It is false in many ways. Children body (especially young ones) works differently than adult body.
Just sharing my experience - you may be dealing with something slightly different.

I burned out in a job, and went straight into a new one that was less demanding.

I didn’t try to do much at all for a while. It was more than a 18 months later when I had the itch to do more again.

My takeaway from this has been - be thankful and enjoy the process - don’t try to force things.

I hear this a lot. “I hate regulation, except when it benefits me.” It reminds me of what I heard a lawyer say once: “People tell me to my face that they hate lawyers. Until they have a problem and need to hire me.”

“It's ridiculous that we even have to think about trying to get the Government to force Google to have basic customer service”

Maybe, but that’s life. Regulations are a form of law. Without law, those with power do whatever they want.
Seeing it and doing nothing is worse in my eyes. That is how you create societies that ignore terrible problems for fear of law enforcement retaliation.

The only way he should be charged is if he committed identity theft or sold the numbers.

Don't worry about rotating a red-black tree, I love algorithms, I worked at Google, and as an interviewer I would never ask (or even memorise) something so complex.

Now if it's reversing a binary tree (the famous interview question), if you don't love doing it, you won't love working with big data and complex systems.

As for me, I loved being there working for 1 feature for half year as much as I hated working at small companies where new features had to be implemented every day. I think the latter is just better match for you.
I do the following:

* Do an effort to be aware of being distracted, and wake myself up.

* Record meetings, easier now that I'm remote. Write down key words. Play back the conversation and make sense of notes.

* Ask questions early of what I didn't get, but take a while to think about them or research, so I won't throw a lot of stupid questions.

1. resentful or oversensitive about being perceived as inferior
De-addiction of Tech News sites. Feeling like I consume too much time reading news, and too little doing on my side projects. Time to reverse it. i.e. more focus on shipping something.
It's interesting that for almost two years now I've seen the same "common knowledge" repeated over and over. "Kids are germ factories" and variations on that theme. But watching the pandemic and how its effected children has actually made me reconsider that notion. With the caveat that Omicron data may change this, we have tons of data that clearly shows that small children spread COVID19 significantly less than teenagers and adults. It's hard to know if this is something specific to COVID or if other respiratory viruses are also spread less efficiently (but still spread) by kids than your co-workers, spouse, etc.

To speak specifically to your point, the data I've seen indicates that vaccinations are much more effective in preventing infection (and therefore spread) in younger people. That likely compounds with an adults vaccination, so a vaccinated kid is likely significantly less likely to bring an infection home and infect an adult.

> Very much of what Telegram has done security wise is very well thought out and has improved over time

Though I'm certainly not a cryptography expert, I used to work on Tails OS and some Tor-related projects, and I feel I know where/how to listen to the experts.

Having said that, I am a hard disagree on the quoted statement.

My understanding is that there has been very few improvements that they weren't dragged into. imho telegram is a reckless tool from a cryptographic point of view, and still highly suspect
The reporter did not access anything they did not have permission to access! It was on a publicly accessible website, posted publicly, for the purpose of public dissemination. The statue is even more restrictive than that- the part you didn't quote:

"A person commits the offense of tampering with computer data if he or she knowingly and without authorization or without reasonable grounds to believe that he has such authorization"

No one could possibly prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the reporter did not have "reasonable grounds to believe that he has such authorization". The reporter did not know that the website had private information on it when he accessed the page.

The law does allow for a civil action to be taken by the owner of the computer system (In this case the state) which would lower the standard of evidence to more likely than not- but given the facts of the case, I don't think it comes even close to meeting that bar.
Among the possible terms applied to this tech thing, the one that seems to make the most sense to me is Rent, which I suppose could be thought of as a private tax as well.

Do you really expect Telegram to get the GDPR hammer when Google and Facebook are still around and do orders of magnitude worse?
Paypal's might be the closest. If FB, Amazon, or Google woke up and saw that all their data was gone, it'd be extremely annoying but recoverable by just having users recreate accounts (or re-scraping). If they woke up and saw that all their ops & systems were gone, it'd be the end of the company. If PayPal lost either it'd be the end of the company.

This reveals a bit how the Buddha, like other religious leaders throughout history, sought to control the behavior of his followers and decide where they should derive their joy from.

It feels like this sort of prescriptive thinker is exactly the type of person we should not listen to. Why should we think their moral compass / philosophy is better guided than our own? If a certain form of game is fun and not harming others, why not continue it?

> Wouldn't docker-compose be the "already doing it" answer to the first question? It's pretty much your library of 'exact docker run commands', plus sugar to manage the running ones collectively.

I'm also confused why he's not using compose. Perhaps he is unaware that when you have multiple services in a compose file, re-running `docker compose up` only restarts containers whose parameters have changed in the compose file.

He mentions further down that he's using compose for one service, so obviously he is aware of it.

But I can't blame him. When getting up to speed on docker, I found that figuring out compose and how to use it effectively was frustratingly under-documented.

Yup. Cryptographically signed Usenet, so spamming requires the overhead of creating a new identity per... something. Unfortunately, creating a new identity is still effectively free, so spamming will exist.

Social problems need to be solved by social arrangements and supported by technical tooling.

Humanity's Final Arms Race: UN Fails to Agree on 'Killer Robot' Ban
Birding is one of those rare use-cases though where gear is pretty essential. Astrophotography is another area where better gear often does lead to better pictures. That being said, it still doesn't make up for the skill of knowing your subjects, being patient, and spending all that time setting up the perfect shot; the gear just gets you in the front door. A bird shot in bad light at a bad angle with a phone is still a bird with bad lighting and a bad angle with a 200-600mm, just in higher resolution.

My point originally was that amateurs generally spend far too much time focusing on the best gear, when they should be focusing on their subject and skillset.
YJCE identified a lack of usable concepts as the root problem. Human-memorable 'handles' actually make things worse in that they add in another concept that the user has to learn about and understand. The idea that the ridiculously large number represents a human identity is very easy to comprehend and the user can not avoid contact with that number in a system like this. The number is the identity.

Usability and convenience are two different things. A system that is difficult to use might be easily understood by the user and vice versa.
Combine it with a decentralized/uncensorable web3 version of Twitter/Facebook and it also has the potential to become a killer app.
Electron is large because it is a pack that combines full fledged web browser (WebKit) and server (NodeJS).

Web browser engine is designed with these priorities:

1. to provide safe browsing experience;

2. to present web pages in standard manner;

Note the order. Safe browsing means the following:

1. You must run user facing UI (tab) in separate process. This involves RPC with the rest of application.

2. You cannot allow any executable code other than managed JS. And so you MUST provide JIT or something like that as JS is the only option to run anything.

The order requires and leads to a lot of code to support those priorities.

* Write more regularly

* Have a personal indexed knowledge base. Saw some great examples of this on HN

* Give up reading uninteresting books. I have the tendency to keep reading anyway I'm finished, which is a waste of time

* Learn to deal with cold weather :)
For one, I'd be surprised if Azul's C4 (Zing) didn't have these issues already solved (assuming anyone has solved that, they probably did).
Telegram is also popular within the crypto circles and those are a lucrative target for advertisers which Google's business relies on. Banning it from Android may shrink that market.
Yes many people privately own things. They alone control them, or as a private group. The point is that calling Bitcoin private in the sense of property or in the sense of business is simply ignorant. Any participant can get involved in Bitcoin's protocol with less barrier to entry than any stock exchange, and (I can't believe I have to type this) Bitcoin is not controlled by any single person or private group of people.

So please explain how Bitcoin is private or close to it, or cede the point.

What data would those be? Besides price increasing?

We're more than 10 years into the "blockchain revolution" and I still don't see a single meaningful problem solved by this technology (it makes ransomware and selling drugs online easier, I guess).

Compare other recent technologies: the web, mobile phones, electric cars... where were they after 12 years of development?

Racism is expressed by systems that benefit some to the exclusion or detriment of others, based on race.

Remind me, what are the "mainstream" demographics of big tech companies?

Tech companies are famous for externalizing their problems into their local communities. How is that expressed in terms of race?

Capitalism simply doesn't work without an underclass. Capitalism exploits labor the most efficiently with a divided underclass, because class awareness and solidarity undermines capitalism. As such capitalism is invariably paired with racism. Every capitalist economy is built on some form of bigotry.

for permission to move on.

Easier said than done, but I think part of it is giving yourself permission?

When my mom died, I had some lingering... negative feelings. I was angry about some medical choices she made, and of course I blamed myself for not helping more.

Eventually I gave myself permission to...

1. Feel multiple things at once. I am allowed to have some negative feelings AND simultaneously enjoy all of the wonderful and positive memories of her.

2. Continue to feel the negative things. I did not try to stomp out the negative things. They are valid! I have valid reasons to feel some amount of anger!

Over time the positive voices in my head greatly outnumbered the negative ones. I didn't have to chase down the negative ones and eliminate them.
I'd like to see a list of games the Buddha would play, as I don't think it would contain anything unless the game somehow pertained to discernment of the nature of suffering or the extinction of the cycle of rebirth.
In my career I have tried hard to avoid technical debt, I've learnt the project architecture before writing much code, I've refactored a lot of stuff, kept dependencies up to date, written loads of tests. As such I've stayed in jobs 4-8 years and become invaluable to each one.

However its been terrible for my career. In job interviews people wonder what I've achieved because it really is difficult to prove how you can design and write code. The guys who spend a year or two sh**ing all over the code base as they knock out new features really are doing the right thing. Managers dont care about tech debt, they just want new features.

OK, here's another refutation of the labor theory of value. A woodworking crafter with twenty years of experience takes five hours to make a bookshelf. A person who just started woodworking today takes twenty hours to make the same bookshelf, but it is out of square, out of plumb, is wobbly and has several nail holes in it. According to the labor theory of value, the noob bookshelf is worth more because the laborer took twenty hours to make said shelf, instead of the five hours of the efficient crafter.
All good reasons not to get involved. But I don't think that's as cogent an argument to convince others despite it being used as such on this board quite often.

I don't think the world Self-Important means what you think it means. While I'm not religious, these are thinkers whose works are probably the longest surviving works of thought. This is just being facetious.
Like anything you weigh up the upside against the downside.

The downside is more complex code, code that's harder to reason about, the possibility of concurrency bugs, slower development times, the possibility of security flaws and you may just be shifting your performance bottleneck (eg creating a hot mutex).

The upside is lower latency, more throughput and higher QPS.

My argument is quite simply YAGNI. A lot of these benefits are for many people purely imaginary. They're the very definition of premature optimization. Code that is less complex, faster to develop in and likely "good enough" is probably going to help you way more than that.

If you get to the scale where heavy multithreading actually matters, that's a good problem to have. My argument is that many people aren't there and I would hazard a guess that a contributing factor to not getting there is worrying about this level of performance before they need to.
> As a software engineer I love reading our NPS reports, because they always have great tidbits of info

My only experience of NPS is when I worked retail/sales in my first job, and it absolutely sucked in that context.
