Yes, this is the kind of a story which are being dramatised in movies - a highly functioning autism, habit of attention to details and principial insistence on doing thing "just right" and enough free time and lack of distractions (by degens) to carry it on.

I remember when I saw the nginx code for the first time - I was so impressed that I wanted to build libnginx.a (of core data structures) for my own projects. Never happened.

The only comparable story I know is Rob Pike - similar principles and obsessions of doing just right, which, in turn, is related to good mathematics of finding and using just right abstractions by generalising from actual pattern.

If you want to learn C programming (and programming in general) read nginx and unit(nxt). Look how systematic, minimal and just right is everything.

I like to than Igor for teaching me and being an example.
I think he makes a reasonable point. Even a source that acknowledges some connection makes it clear that saying that policing in the South "rose out" of slave patrols is a far overreach.
To be pedantic - two things happening at the same time are correlated but what is not necessarily proven definitively is that its causation.

And yes - its still early innings and the single data point is end user collected from a "bug report" by a major power end user (i.e Union Pacific).

But at the end of the day - UP is a power enterprise level user (of California as a Service) who happens to provide a useful add on service to a large chunk of the CAaS end user community.

I'd say as a proactive PM/dev responsible (i.e. Newsome, CA District Attorney, etc.) for championing the new feature (i.e. bail reform), I'd be attentively listening to all users of the community about their feedback/UX experiences and very actively thinking about tweaks to improve site uptime even before definitive data existed that pointed to my feature causing outages. Or concretely ensuring/proving its not.

If I wanted to get that promotion that is.
Greatly appreciated, thanks!

> E TOGNI: Since I've started using Flo, every time my period is late, even just by one day, I receive ads on Facebook, Google and YouTube about pregnancy tests all the time. And then if I'm late for more than one day, I receive other ads about family planning, how to have a healthy baby. And, you know, a lot of products are just advertised to me constantly. I'm bombarded with this. And this happens every month for the past six years (laughter).

AGGGH. That's not "funny, cute, lulz." That's "Remove from phone and never look back!"

I'm glad to see surveillance capitalism in the general discussion, but, man, it's depressing just how much it's taken over literally everything in the past decade.

I think a better example might be cement production. For a blast furnace you don't just need heat, you need to chemically react some reducing agent with the iron ore. Generally that's either coal coke or methane reacting with the iron oxide to produce iron and carbon dioxide. There's technologies on the horizon that could enable electrolytic refining of iron much like how aluminum is refined. With cement production there's no potential method to eliminate the carbon dioxide. You still have the extreme heat of the process so natural gas and coal are a pretty good fit but even if you sidestepped that and heated it through other means, you're ultimately taking calcium carbonate and calcining it to calcium oxide. Even if you eliminated all coal usage you'd at best cut the amount of CO2 released by half. With a good carbon capture system connected to cement kilns you could actually use concrete to capture CO2 from the air. Concrete naturally forms calcium carbonate over time as it ages so you could use it to have concrete production effectively be a net negative for atmospheric CO2. Concrete production currently accounts for 8% of CO2 emissions globally and direct atmospheric capture has been something that's historically difficult due to the low concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere so you could kill two birds with one stone.
Apple used Nvidia chips for years after the 8600M GT. I think their last use of Nvidia chips was the Kepler generation. Which meant that because a MBP came with a Nvidia 650 or something, you could put a Titan in a Mac Pro which was nice!
BJs is indeed referred to as IL7 and the restaurant even had an official-looking “IL7” placard on the rear entrance.

Hate to nit-pick the story at all though, it’s a great. Stories like this floated all around Apple, and I stopped being surprised by them after awhile. That level of focus, drive, and accomplishment by just a handful of engineers was in the company’s bones.
Yes, I worked with a Quest 2 and Virtual Desktop for 1 month while my monitor was being repaired. I personally had no issue with the resolution. 1080p looks good to me and I worked with that or worse for 35 years anyway. The major issue was not being able to see the keyboard. I can touch type the alphabet only. Vague feelings of discomfort arose after a few hours. All in all it was effective but I was very happy to have my (1440p) monitor back.
> PS Are you also saying they have objectively measured the existence of God, or the divinity of Christ...?

There's only one objective reality/truth, regardless of human ability to measure it. It's like arguing that the stars' existence is subjective because you can't count them.

Yep, you can generally get request splitting style vulnerabilities especially as a reverse proxy if you misparse reqs. (And sometimes even if you don't, one reason a rev proxy architecture is somewhat insecure).

Hopefully the actual code does a full parse after guessing what to try by the character test heuristic.
It seems like the database libraries they recommend for security, ksql and sqlbox, mitigate the risk with process separation and RBAC, so the CGI process doesn't have full access to the database.

It's definitely contrary to modern assumptions about web app security, but it's interesting to see web apps that are secure because they use OS security features as they were designed to be used, rather than web apps that do things that are insecure from an OS-perspective, like handling requests from multiple users in the same process, but are secure because they do it with safe programming languages.
You're statement is incorrect. In the last elections that were held in March 2021 the results were as follows:
Likud - Center right - 24%
Yesh Atid - Center Left 14%
Shas - Religious - 7%
Kahol Lavan - Center left - 6%
Yamina - Center right - 6% (They've made a coalition with the Arab parties and formed a government eventually, and the leader became the prime minister)
Avoda - Social left -6%
Yahadot Tora - Religious - 6%
Israel Beytenu - right - 5%
Zionot Datit - Far right - 5%
Meshutefet - Joined Arab party - Far left - 4%
Tikva Hadash - Center Left - 4%
Merez - Far left -4%
Mehuedet- Joined Arab party - Far Left - 3%

And all the other didn't make it.
100% agree. I'd argue they were the #2 landmark in NYC after The Statue of Liberty at the time.

1. Statue of Liberty, without question.

2. Twin Towers - showed up in just about shot of NYC put into mainstream media from the date of inception until destruction.

3. Empire State Building - Yes it is really recognizable but never got the media exposure of the WTC.

After that things get a little muddier. If I'm doing a top-5 I probably do something Times Square and Rockefeller Center to round out the big-5 pre-9/11.
According to google, murder:

> the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

According to wikipedia:

> Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought.

So if the missile was fired by people that are legally allowed to kill other people, "Do not murder" has been respected.

> Do not return evil for evil.

I feel like there is a difference between preventing someone to commit evil acts (defending yourself) and attacking them.

> Honor all people

You can honor fallen enemies.

> Love your neighbor as yourself. Love your enemies.

Might be a stretch, but I don't think love would prevent you from killing someone if that was necessary.

> Do not do to another what you would not have done to yourself.

Presumably you would rather be killed than be allowed to murder other people.

All of that may be a bit of a stretch, I don't know much about religious doctrine. But it's still coherant with "common sense" I think.
Nonsense. Aella grew up in an extremely fundamentalist Christian household. We're talking 'non-Christians lead to the devil, don't be friends with them"-type. It is absolutely seriously uncomfortable breaking up your entire programmed worldview from that.

"I grew up in an isolated, homeschooled environment. I’d moved up to northern Idaho in an attempt to go to college, but my parents were very “use your bootstraps” people and wouldn’t help me financially or cosign on any loans. They also made too much money for me to qualify for financial aid, so I was screwed; a few months into college I got an ominous letter and had to drop out shortly afterwards.

I’d been brought up with the expectation of being a submissive housewife – but here I was, 19 years old, no support system, education, or future, and with an unsettling cultural disconnect from everyone around me. Everyone used words I didn’t know, references to movies I hadn’t seen, attitudes drawn from music I hadn’t heard.

So I worked whatever I could. I occasionally went hungry, unable to afford food. I slept on a mattress on the floor in a large group house. I ended up working very long hours at a factory with no windows where I wore a uniform and stood on my feet all day and saw the sun only on weekends."

Native American adults are likelier to have served in the military than the overall population.

The American military has its good points. Being more fair/less unfair about racial issues seems to be one of them.

My career-Army ex-husband once said to me "We are all part of the Green Race." In other words, we are blood brothers because of the uniform and because of civilians excluding active duty military families.

When I was a military spouse, the general unemployment rate was around 5 or 6 percent and the unemployment rate for military spouses was around 30 percent. I think this is in part because locals don't want to hire someone knowing they will likely move again in two or three years and in part because the military has good benefits, so it is still possible -- or was when I was a military spouse -- to support a family on one income, which seems to generally not be true for most Americans these days.

The military tends to have a somewhat high percentage of people of color generally. I honestly think it's in part because promotions are less racially biased than they seem to be in the civilian world.
It's not about multiple equilibria but about (often unintended) collusion.
Examples of that affecting poker games are very well known. One frequently occurring example was discussed in online community 15-20 years ago (BTN raises in a limit Holdem game, SB calls too much which hurts both the SB and the button giving equity to BB).

I don't think you're correct saying it doesn't affect poker as people were able to notice and analyze this before solvers. It's true though that no-limit Holdem as played today (two blinds,no ante,deep stacks) is likely not strongly affected by the phenomena. I don't agree Pluribus experiment shows much when it comes up practical play. Not enough variety of skill levels, not enough hands and not enough time for metagame (people adjusting to how others play) to develop. I do agree pure equilibrium play is most likely not terrible in cash game nlhe but definitely not in poker in general.

I think Amex's sales pitch to merchants probably revolved around their cardholders being particularly affluent or spendy customers, likely to spend more.

In the past they owned a big chunk of the corporate credit card space, so a business catering to business travelers pretty much had to accept Amex.
When my mom died after a 1.5 year battle with cancer, I was calm enough to make sure her funeral went the way she had wanted and write an obituary that honored her within the community she had been such a vital part of. If possible, harness your calm to do stuff your more visibly-grieving family can’t.

My best childhood friend invited me over one afternoon in the middle of that and with her, I let loose.

Even ten years later, seemingly random things will cause me to cry hysterically about her for a few minutes, but once I’ve cleaned up my tears and snotty nose (ugly crying!), I’m calm again. I’ve seen the term “Sudden Temporary Upwelling of Grief,” or STUG, to describe this. It helps me to have a strategy for dealing with these - at first, consciously developed for my common situations (work), now kind of in the back of my mind along with things like knowledge of where my office fire exits are.

You never really stop grieving for someone close; you just get used to the grief and learn to live with it like you would a serious injury that has mostly healed.
"echo chamber" completely misses the point: exposure to outrageous posts is the goal.

If you want constructive dialog that builds towards an actionable plan a dedicated forum and a wiki would be the right tools.

Its just dumb to use a platform that exposes your imagination to people who think the exact opposite - and does so on purpose!

Band aid solutions where these fools get to have their precious walled garden internet empire and eat it too are just never going to work.

You post a picture of your dinner on facebook and some are going to think it looks disgusting.

I do use Lazarus/FreePascal for multiplatform GUI apps. It is also very easy to write servers in. Unfortunately performance is worse vs C/C++ and frankly "batteries" included in C++ are way more powerful and simpler to use so I choose C++ for backends. As for all that FUD around C++ - I am not C++ expert at all but I find modern C++ to be very productive, fast for backend development and pretty safe unless one's goal is to purposely shoot themselves in the foot.

Writing C might be challenging for some, but as others have mentioned, one can use some other language which gives a statically linked binary to place in the httpd chroot. It won’t be BCHS then.

It really is awful advice for relationships.

The advice has strategic advantage in limited situations.

Hiding your decision making from others robs you of the opportunity to learn from others. If your decision is on such weak footing it can’t hold up the the scrutiny of friends and family then perhaps it should be questioned.

If the person doing the questioning is not tending toward appreciative understanding, then avoiding discussion makes sense.
The point is they're being treated as if they weren't, even though they are.

Indeed. They were the most prominent feature of the lower Manhattan skyline, often the prominent focus of any photos/flyover/footage of the city, especially views from either New Jersey to the west or Brooklyn to the east.

A nice montage of some movie appearances is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsedxIoWFZo

In some, they were just a part of the distinctive background place-setting New York skyline, or a ground-level signifier of "downtown financial district'; in others, they were part of the action. Especially memorable was the 1976 'King Kong', which updated the 1933 version to have Kong climb the twin towers instead of the Empire State Building. Other films featured the observation deck, a popular tourist attraction.
Only in a legal sense - that doesn’t change whether you did or did not commit the act in question.
The California reform was initiated in March of 2021. This Union Pacific letter suggests UP has collected early data since those reforms have lead to more crime. At this point the reforms appear to be correlated with the issues they are seeing and that it really ramped up in October of 2021.

"In October 2021 alone, the increase was 356% over compared to October 2020. Not only do these dramatic increases represent retail product thefts – they include increased assaults and armed robberies of UP employees performing their duties move.

These individuals are generally caught and released back onto the streets in less than twenty-four hours... Even with all the arrests made, the no-cash bail policy and extended timeframe for suspects to appear in court is causing re-victimization to UP by these same criminals."

Agree - its early data collected and correlation does not equal causation but the bail reform proponents should be investigating if more if/else/case statements need to be added to the underlying bail-reform feature codebase to prevent site outages being reported by power end users.

I'm hopeful that they are.

I'm just a fool on the internet, but if your appserver is NodeJS, you might want to consider HAProxy over nginx (I say this as a fan of nginx).

The reason being that (unless my information is stale), NodeJS will happily accept all the connections thrown at it, eventually causing each connection to be starved of compute capacity and finally falling over. HAProxy is able to keep a connection queue and feed a maximum of (for example) 4 concurrent requests to the backend(s), thus providing back-pressure to incoming requests. Makes it a lot easier if you need to eventually scale your app horizontally, too.
If you look carefully, Aella's appearance never really shows up on the things that make her popular, her main Twitter and blog. In my opinion, it looks like you initially correctly thought she was smart, but found a superficial excuse to demean her. There is no doubt Aella is quite intelligent and unique in her insights, and the comments here yet again remind me of some of the shallow undeserved dismissals women get from time to time. Luckily she's smart enough to not put her mugshot very often on her media, like any normal dude who it wouldn't be related to his intellect, as a proactive defense against these type of remarks.
Google's fight against Firefox isn't so visible on YouTube. I'd say it's mobile, Google Drive and their video calls.
Google does a lot of A/B testing and I'm surprised someone on HN wouldn't blame that first. I'm not ruling out that Google may have done that against Firefox though.
It's worth noting that YouTube's Polymer site was always very slow on Chrome too and it was never just about shadow DOM v0.
