This is garbage gatekeeping, and it misses the fact that entrepreneurship is usually a journey of learning as much as a financial journey. Look closely at bios of home-run entrepreneurs and you will frequently see a smaller win or loss before the exit for which they become known. What is the point of denigrating people for not having sold a SaaS as successfully as you have?

I wish them hearty congratulations on the sale and good luck with the next adventure.

Pro-opiate and anti-vax? Niiiice!
Article is from 2018.

> the willingness to kick people off platforms for violating rules about abuse. At one website I used to write for, everyone constantly remarked that we had the most amazing, thoughtful commenters. How did we achieve this? Easy: a one-strike policy. Complete zero tolerance.

I'm very curious about what were the exact "rules about abuse" that could result in making such unequivocal decisions. The article talks about abuse quite a bit without ever really defining objectively how you know it when you see it. How does one distinguish between true abuse and simply annoying behavior?
> Why are you comparing your name brand derailleur from a reputable company (from a time when there was basically only x3) that you say is still better than contemporaries, with the absolute worst of those contemporaries, as a way to somehow imply this particularly bad contemporary is worthwhile?

Because the GGP -- you? -- didn't specify "the absolute worst of those contemporaries" but just complained about how "front triples" -- which implies all front triples -- "suck". So the GP quite reasonably showed that they don't.

It's not him moving the goalposts; it's you.
Abduco or dtach are probably easier for beginners. I, for one, am not that bothered by the drops, because if the connection is really choppy I tend to just use mosh. Also I have a few connections made via ZeroTier and I found that the connection is remarkably stable. That's all with a huge asterisk, that I am not enough bothered to improve my setup.
I think a more apt comparison would be to tell a classically trained English speaking chef to write out obscure recipes in French

>It isn't really needed in much of engineering. Plenty of high school level students can do trig and algebra. You can get by just fine in much of the engineering world,

A certain amount of People can get by, but the project itself cannot get by without a minimum people on that project knowing this stuff.

For your typical software project, the entire project can get by without anyone knowing anything from algebra and beyond.

>Linear algebra, trig, even basic diff eq and calculus is relatively easy to pick up independently IMO.

Less likely for people learn this stuff outside of a school. It can be done without school but the likelihood of learning these things without school is low because learning these things is about 10x harder than programming. Developing the intuition and familiarity with this is very rarely done independently.

Additionally, these are the bare minimum required for engineering. Complex analysis, control system theory, kinimatics, physics, circuit analysis and much much more are required for systems engineering. And almost nobody starts learning this stuff as a "hobby." Basically people pick up learning django or rails as a hobby or something along those lines.

>Do you work in ME? It sounds like you have a glamorized idea of what a lot of other engineers do.

I'm EE, switched to CS after graduation and I work in embedded systems with mechanical engineers and other EEs.

Yes the day to day doesn't require solving an ODE. But the basic knowledge is required in some aspect of the project. The same is NOT true for software.

>There are many areas of software and computing that DO require specialists.

Very few. ML or Data is mostly what I see but you're average web development shop has sw guys who are roughly homogeneous in terms of skills. Any specialization is domain knowledge as in he's the guy that coded that maze so he's the guy that knows it best.

There are "specialists" but the crossover is so close that all these specialties can combine and you encounter tons and tons of people who are "full stack" engineers.
Yeah, definitely not the end user's security.
Because that’s true. You think it’s free to get even a frivolous case dismissed under discrimination or wage/hour laws? Lol. Google “title VII burden shifting framework.” For companies in SV, i.e. under CA law, it’s easily tens of thousands to dismiss even a frivolous case.

Better documentation means only increasingly bottom feeding plaintiffs lawyers will take the case.
It turns out Bill Gate isn't immune to hype or PR pressure either.

It is interesting to think back in those days, internet wasn't a thing for a lot of people. Marketing / PR / Hype mostly use good old fashion magazine to generate interest. And they were ( at least in my view ) no where near as zealotry as today's technology evangelism. Plenty of heated discussion about how apps like Gaming will never work on Java. And how GC pause is not a fixable problem.

you don't seem to get it, especially after so much coverage of the topic, the initial immuno-design was for the original COVID-19 strain, as the virus mutates and new variants emerge the efficacy of the original vaccine decreases; you have two options: a) get more immune protection from additional doses or b) get a new vaccine that is specifically designed for the new variant. ultimately, new and more variants will become weaker, and COVID will approximate the flu. this will require annual shots.
Search. But even without search does having GCD in the name matter? No. It literally does not harm the program or understanding of the program in any way.

Even so, the majority of programmers will have a tendency to react to this as emotionally wrong. Then they attempt to rationalize this explanation with some form of reasoning. Try to catch this in yourself as it could be happening Right now as you read this.

You feel it's wrong but not from the composition of logical explanations. The feeling of wrongness forms first than you try to search for facts to rationalize your feeling.

Let me be clear. There is nothing logically harmful with that name but most programmers feel there is. This type of OCD tendency accounts for about 50% requests in code reviews. Ultimately useless changes to satisfy some OCD tendency.
> However, from a technical perspective, any zone operator above yours has the capability to take over your domain(s).

That doesn't mean it's not decentralized. If the .kz operator has a heavy hand, it affects people in their legal jurisdiction but not anyone else, and that's true of everything else as well. A system which doesn't allow enforcement of legal requirements will be blocked, and this isn't a technical problem with a technical solution no matter what the blockchain salespeople say.

Everyone is in a protected class. It’s a common misconception that white men etc aren’t. Under employment laws, if you suffer adverse employment actions on the basis of a protected class, even if you are a white cishet thin Protestant male with money and an Ivy League degree you are in protected classes.

Lawyers tell management this and get blamed for the law and courts being the way hey are. “Buy them out with a severance and a release” gets “why should I pay for something I’m allowed to do.” A few months later in house counsel gets screamed at “why is outside counsel charging us $50,000 for this summary judgment case?!”

“Well, I told you that——-“

“This is your fault! Why doesn’t EPLI cover it”

“You said it was too expensive, so we got the one with the high deductible.”

Since the defense bar also lines their pockets with these cases, and scare pieces on their blogs “review your employee handbook now or else!” No one fixes anything.

On most machines I tried, linux had every conceivable driver ready out of the box without any configuration.

This is absolutely not something one can say about windows (though at least nowadays it will try to fetch drivers from God knows where and often succeed). And Mac supports like 2 hardware devices all together, both of them manufactured by them — comparing an OS that exclusively run on specific hardware is just stupid and not made in good faith.
I definitely don't rely on it, I agree with you. I think what happens is I have moments of thinking I should be able to merge, then checking the indicator and realizing I was wrong. In those cases it's very likely I'd do a thorough check, but it's a great reminder otherwise that my gut sense of my surrounding is incorrect, and I do need to check thoroughly and, for lack of a better explanation, assume I'm always wrong until I've fully checked my surroundings.
Sometimes you can even buy a full set of kitchen knives in the duty free shop on your way to the airplane!
No reason to assume it isn't. I think the hope is that you'll replace this before it becomes apparent.
I continue to still use RSS daily.

Feedly and Innoreader are both good and use various apps and or extensions that hook into those two. It’s one of the best ways to quickly scan content from multiple upsteam sources and a decent reader makes for a pleasant reading experience too.
Not a scientist. But if this is true, would it imply that A) the universe is younger than we thought, or B) there was a much longer time between the Big Bang and the formation of the first stars? Seems to have very major cosmological implications.
Still a core staple of my consumption (e.g. Newsblur), but it really does feel like Google Reader's sunsetting inadvertently killed RSS feeds.

You are welcome to look for evidence, but OP is also wrong about the spike protein being "fully functional" in the vaccine. The spike protein sequence was modified in many ways in creating the vaccine, including to prevent it from undergoing the conformal change upon encountering ACE2 which would normally then cause the virus to then enter a cell.

From a certain perspective, is this even morally wrong? The way these meters are always justified is that they help to shape behavior in urban areas and allocate limited space efficiently. It doesn't really matter who gets the money as long as people are paying. Moreover, if the city is in any way hurt by the loss of revenue there's already an inherent conflict of interest in city planning.

Sure, scammers are bad, meter maids could incorrectly cite vehicles, and it's highly likely the scammers are doing more than just collecting the fees, but I don't find the basic premise that terrible.

Superficially this sounds good but if you don't trust the security of SSH you need to ask why you trust TLS any more.
Agreed, you definitely missed my point, but in your defense the point was implied rather than explicitly stated so I'll take the fault for not being clear.

I don't mind building my own drivers (in fact I maintain one[1]), but I would never expect the average person to have to do that. It would be entirely unreasonable.

But, the vast majority of linux users don't have to compile any drivers. Unless you have some obscure piece of hardware or one that is so new that the driver isn't mainlined yet, you don't have to worry about it.

You say you've been using linux for 20 years. which driver(s) in the last 5 or so years have you had to compile yourself?

At that age I can only recommend to you to read fiction as well. Classic literature and philosophy will enrich your mind.

Instead of tech/science books, let me throw something else at you:

Jacque Fresco "The Best That Money Can't Buy" [1].

Robert Steele "Open-Source Everything Manifesto" [2]. Do not be mislead by the title. Open-source here is all-encompassing, software is only a tiny fraction of the spectrum.

I just started an application with them also for a Solutions Architect role, I even have a scheduled technical interview in a couple of weeks. Wondering if I should go through. Really don't like what I am finding here, but not sure if it's just a biased thread where people which love their jobs are not here defending AWS or if it's truly a dysfunctional org in that area, or too team dependent (which is a lottery then).

Is it anything good of working at AWS?
I've run relatively loaded unbound in the past - I would suggest to use minimum num-threads with which a single thread uses less than 50% CPU at peaks. And set number of slab to the same value (if it is power of 2) or lower. High number of slabs increases memory usage (may be it can grow over long time because of fragmentation, but I've not noticed this). Unbound Howto Optimize [1] suggests to set num-threads equal to number of cores but IMHO it makes sense only if: server runs no other software except Unbound (even in this case some cores will be utilized by the kernel so better give to Unbound less than total core count) and it has more than enough RAM so possible memory fragmentation is not a concern.

It's reasonable to be surprised when a computer science term uses a metaphor, but I don't think it's fair to call it a poor name unless you also object to almost every other name in programming.

Strings have nothing to do with textiles. And, very confusingly, they aren't even related to fibers or threads. Zippers aren't related to textiles either.

Trees and bloom filters are not related to botany. Heaps and garbage collection are not about municipal waste management. Graph coloring, despite the term, has nothing to do with either pictures or pigments. Red-black trees aren't colored or botanical.

Bubble sort does not involve fluid dynamics. Neither does bucket or cocktail shaker sort for that matter.

Circular buffers are not round. You can't eat a spaghetti stack or poke your finger on a cactus stack.
Yeah, and you can follow the money all the way to the crypto wallet where it was converted to something harder to track or harder to revert transactions on...
I have a private Discord server that acts as an RSS reader via MonitoRSS[1]. It works great because Discord has really good notification configuration. Some feeds I want to know about immediately, others I only want to see when I check the news, and because I can mute channels I can let my friends use it as well. They set up their own feeds and I don't have to be alerted to it but I can go look if I'm interested in what they're reading lately.

All that is to say that RSS still works. What's missing is the original content creators of the early RSS world. Nowadays, most people create small, easy-to-write, easy-to-consume content in one of the walled gardens since the notifications, interactions, and network are all included for them.

I took homeopathic Byronia Alba for three weeks as a loading dose before the vaccines were available. I also formulated my own constitutional homeopathic remedy 12 years ago from a specific snake venom after trying various other snake remedies.

I have used it on my animals too. Not just pets like cats and dogs but also horses. I have saved dozens of animals while the vets insisted that euthanasia was the only option. In India, without resources while volunteering at an animal shelter, I learnt it to help street animals and feral cats. I mix and match homeopathic and allopathic modalities all the time.

I am not willing to cut off my nose to spite my face in the name of ‘scientific thinking’. So I don’t reject any healing modality that works.

There is literally no science that proves homeopathy doesn’t work. A lot of anti alt medicine rants is just as unscientific as medicinal quackery(this also exists). YMMV.

I was also willing to participate in the mass experimentation of covid vaccines even though I didn’t know much about it..none of us did..we all acted on the basis of faith. I was under no illusion about the alleged effectiveness of the vaccines. It was a crapshoot. It is the same attitude that I had when I first adopted homeopathy. In balance, I have had more success with homeopathy than with allopathic (or even herbal/Ayurvedic) modalities and I tend to favour homeopathy over all else.

Also: let’s not forget that it’s cheap and somewhat open source. Anyone with time and effort can learn it. So it’s not a profit gusher. If anything, it diverts profits from Big Pharma. I adore Big Pharma, but I am not going to shell out thousands of dollars and hours of my life in waiting rooms for a headache or flu or a broken arm or asthma or migraines if I can figure it out myself. I can. Many can’t. I am glad that they have other options. Just don’t want others to diss mine. Especially by those who don’t want to educate themselves about other healing modalities and would simply parrot others in the name of ‘science’.

I have literally never met a scientist who disagrees at once with someone who carries a different point of view. Scientific temperament is one that is ever searching. I have known intelligent, thoughtful and highly educated scholars who would at the most crinkle their foreheads with not so much as a smirk ..and they’d very politely ask for reasons why..this is how I filter scientists from non scientists. Not by the degree they earn from books and parroting lecturing professors. The trademark of science is curiosity and a questioning attitude. When that dies, science dies. IMO..even within my relatively short lifetime..scientific temperament has dimmed considerably and I expect it to die soon..with only the gatekeepers managing the flow and direction of new discoveries and science.

Edited to add: that is an idiotic article. Equating homeopathy to ‘nazi medicine’ and an anti Semitic motive is just bad journalism. I find it repulsive that this author is published.
I just checked on Chrome on my Android device, and my options are:

I've taken the self hosting journey to learn tons about docker, and kubernetes. (Disclaimer: Kubernetes is overkill for self hosting). Not because it was the easiest, but because it was a great way to learn about a technology that has benefited me in my job.

Nowadays, for me at least, it IS really easy to self-host anything. Get the docker image, add a deployment to my k8s cluster. Ship it. Getting to this point was less simple.

Since I don't log in from there, yes sure? And if I'm hosting on AWS I can proxy through an AWS resident host. Same with any other cloud provider.

Domains are purchased on the home page through Stripe. Once payment is received, we then purchase the domain using the Name.com API and give you control over it. This is similar to how Namecheap did things when they started (resold through enom), and how Amazon still does it (uses gandi.net). Unfortunately registering to become an actual registrar is quite expensive, so reselling is the only real way to get started.

We haven't drafted a formal AUP for the beta (purely from lack of time), but you can expect something similar to what you'd get from other domain sellers.
