One thing I've had a lot of success with as I help early to mid stage (usually YC) startups try to tune things is empowering engineering by giving bizdev and stakeholders the understanding and expectation that ~25% of eng's time should be spent on things like writing tests, refactoring, and otherwise reducing tech debt. Putting a focus on reducing tech debt up front via CI, automated testing (including both unit and integration tests), coding style guidelines, CI checks for all of the above, etc., and giving engineering the time to attend to these issues and practices has turned around many flailing or failing startups that I've consulted with and/or provided advice to. The ones that do fail are usually the ones that resist addressing tech debt in favor of shipping more features. In truth, it is usually quite possible to do both at the same time, and it is in the very least possible to tackle new features in a way that doesn't increase tech debt at the previous bad rate through updated automated testing and CI requirements that ensure new features are fully tested before they are merged.

The hardest thing, especially with non-technical founders, is getting them to understand that yes, their precious features need to be pushed back a bit, but that this will prevent major issues, downtime, and slowdowns next quarter or next year, and that issues they are experiencing now are often due to neglecting tech debt in the past. Once they get this, the company usually has a much better outlook.

This is also an investing criteria (what is your ongoing plan to reduce technical debt) for some of the better tech investors, I've heard.
This site doesn't seem to take bundles into account. I just had a look at The PiHut and they have some Pi 4 devices available if you're happy getting them as part of a bundle (e.g. case, power supply, etc). The rpilocator website is currently showing The Pihut as being out of stock of all Pi 4 devices.
You could say the same about lockdowns' effects on children, development, mental issues, and overall social stability: We don't know.
"Ad blocking is the exact same thing as piracy“ – Linus Tech Tips
While I was a team manager I really liked the one-on-ones.

It was a great way to handle issues while they were still small and manageable.

Someone unhappy on a project? I'd do my best to talk to the project mangers and voice the criticism in an impactful way, or possibly reassign the person.

Problems at home? I would have never picked that up during our normal interactions.

Those meetings gave me the opportunity to help my coworkers with lots of stuff they would otherwise not have mentioned.

It was a true pleasure when I was able to help them out, and even when I wasn't, I think it helped a lot that they just had that chance to vent and then get on with stuff.

While some one-on-ones might have been a waste of time, I believe that overall they had a very positive impact.

Reading the rest of the comments here, I think I might have been in a very favorable position. I started as a developer, and then got promoted at a time where I was the obvious choice. So I always felt like "one of us" during those conversations, and I could very much relate to every work-related challenge.
I also posted this into the /r/Mastodon subreddit (it's for the social network software, not the band!)

There's a lot of juicy details in this report. Eugen, et al., are really maturing as a development team and it's nice to see so much support behind the project.
I know it is, because I made my own HTTP server from scratch.
> You realized that most of the vitamins we get from a meat-based diet are in the food because we feed the multivitamins to the animals? It is just an unnecessary layer of indirection added.

How does that work, I wonder? Did ancient humans first start feeding their domestic animals multivitamins because they realised there weren't enough in meat? Do modern sub-saharan pastoral nomads feed their domestic animals multivitamins to avoid deficits?

Or is yours a statement that only applies to a restricted geographical locality and practice of meat production? What do you think?

Well they got a bargain. She's immensely talented. She hates my politics but damn can she write. Her first memoir is one of the funniest things I've ever read
I've never tried other ACC so it might just be me.

The specific situation is this: I live in Los Angeles and set ACC for max following distance on the freeway. Inevitably this means that someone will use that space to cut across 3 lanes and, as soon as do, ACC will rapidly slow me down to put distance between me and the new lead car. I'll find myself suddenly under 50 on the freeway as a result. maybe that's just how ACC is but imo the PID controller or whatever could be toned down a bit.

The Times crossword is a lot of fun for a lot of people. So is Wordle.

The Times bundles these with other games in their game subscription.

Let's say a 200,000 English speakers around the world pay 5 bucks a month for it. Let's say Wordle pushes that to 250,000 due to the extra exposure. Within a year they've recouped their expenses. Everyone wins.
The video they linked contains a cherry picked selection of quotes from Faucci and presumably pharma execs about accelerating vaccine approvals and arguing that a pandemic would help with that.

Considering the rest of the comment and the throwaway account, yeah, for sure the comment was in conspiracy-land.

My comment was useless, yes. Flagging it was probably much more impactful.
Wordle is the IP.

I remember when almost everyone here was against his choice to not monetize from the first day. Instead he released a user friendly app, no ads, no trackers. Great success, massive user base, huge money.

Well played.
This is very close to what I wish ObservableHQ/Pluto.jl had. Their reactive model already allows you to branch off, connect arbitrary nodes and re-run only what's needed, but the visual ordering of the cells is still very inflexible.
I initially balked at the price until I realised that I probably watch 2-3x as much YouTube per month as I do Netflix, which I was already happily paying for.

It’s nice to know I’m directly supporting the channels I watch too, as I can’t feasibly sign up to dozens of Patreons.
Why is that strange? That seems pretty normal for a company IT department to be able to do. My employer can read all my email and chat history, and can remotely install arbitrary software on my work laptop without my knowledge.

Also consider that the person writing to this blog might be non-technical, so even though "putting a trace" on something sounds like bad movie dialogue, it's more or less reasonable to say.
They definitely bought it for the current userbase not the actual content, the NY Times article opens straight into how they are hoping to switch it to a subscription after the "initial" period.

Even if they only convert 2% of current players to 1 years worth of subscription that's 2 million of whatever "low millions" they put into it without having to grow their own userbase from scratch while competing with the original free one everyone is already using today.
With HTTPS, that doesn't matter.
Wordle's a copy of an 80s game show
Regardless of other projects like this, I've been looking for a fun project for my CM4. I think you just made my weekend!
Think about it this way:

Google: "Come enjoy this limited version of our service, it's absolutely free!"

Consumer: "Excellent. I was going to go with this other service, but since this one is free I will take advantage of it!"

Years later...

Google: "Ok, now that you have many years of data in our system, it's time for you to start paying!"

Consumer: "Wait... what?"

Yes, it's been free. But Google offered it for free and now people have years of data in it. Data which could have been in another service had Google not offered this one for free to begin with. It's kind of like a bait and switch. Get people in, get them to sink most of their life into it, and then start charging.

Also, it's not like a lot of people were out looking for this kind of solution. The fact that it was free brought in a LOT of people who otherwise wouldn't have done it, and are now tied down to it.

That's why a lot of people are mad, and to me it is justifiable.
> YouTube requires you watch ads to use their website, so not doing that is piracy.

Piracy is another word for copyright infringement. Blocking ads on YouTube is not piracy because you are not violating copyright law (in any country that I'm aware of) by viewing only a portion of the content that is delivered to you. DVRs do the same thing as ad blockers for TVs, but in the U.S., the courts have ruled that DVR services do not infringe the copyrights of media companies.[1]

YouTube and other Google services don't forbid ad blocking in their terms of service.[2] If they did, there would be an uproar because Google itself includes an ad blocker in Chrome, which of course does not block any YouTube or Google ads.[3]

You can set the clock back to the time when the license was valid and it all works. There is also a key generator floating around.
The tests are made to fit a distribution. But test prep is so demotivating and inhumane, much less people are able to cope with it.
I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon. I'm sure I will eventually but for now it's a fun quick puzzle that I'm not allowed to get sucked into for more than 10 minutes a day.

Seriously trying to internalize some design lessons from it and might pivot a couple puzzle game ideas (that are still pretty early) to incorporate some of the ideas of Wordle. Unforunately those puzzle ideas aren't quite as inherently viral, in that they pretty much just have one solution and not multiple paths to a solution you can show off...but at least the one set challenge per day I can incorporate.
I think this is a very insightful comment. If the documents showed:

1) a simple instance of use of the language feature

2) a few typical instances of use

and

3) did NOT use towers-of-hanoi, prime-sieve, mathematical smartness, pointless tricks unrelated to the core functionality, dubious features under dispute..

The best UNIX man pages for systems commands do exactly this. They show all the commandline options in the sort-of BNF, they list the meaning/intent of the options (hopefully alphabetically) and under EXAMPLES they show you the 3 cruicial commands you really came looking for, exactly as the worked when the manual page was written.

I know I used man -s 1 or -s 8 to exemplify how to do man -s 2 and man -s 3 pages, but the point is they obey some simple (BNF) norms, some simple (nroff -man) format and EXAMPLES exemplify real-world use. Not "I am smart, watch me put a fruitloop in my nose" but real world, applicable instances.
Sorry, are we playing the same universe? Youtube comments used to famously be the "worst of the worst", and the example you'd give to people if you wanted them to lose their faith in the internet.
I seem to have missed that, thank you. The distro I was using didn't come with any of that stuff, and me being on an Nvidia card I didn't stick around long enough to read the wiki.
I agree with pretty much everything you said, but feel compelled to point out that I think the virus origin is only a minor footnote in the communication failures. The topics of lockdowns and vaccination weigh much more heavily in my mind and I think have much greater relevancy for most people. Here the goal of informed consent was largely discarded in favor of manufactured consent. I would love to see the CDC or some authority have a transparent and reputable weighing of the tradeoffs involved.
Yeah, I want a vendor-agnostic standard for IOT / Smart Home devices.

Needing more than 1 app or a dedicated computer to control your various smart systems isn't a sustainable model, and hanging all of your hopes on Google / Alexa / Apple to be a fallback if your company shuts down their servers isn't a reliable system either.
There is also alternative youtube front ends that don't have ads, notably Invidious[0], and work in cases where the browser doesn't have or can't support extensions such as ad blockers.

Like the other reply to you mentioned, it is the one most commonly used in other countries to my knowledge. I first noticed it in an article from FT talking with Japanese investors. It was my first notice of it because I had always seen the many others that were replied to my first comment. And upon my cursory search after that article it seems like the agreed upon big tech shorthand in the rest of the world that isn’t the US.
Oh there will be, though.
A good chunk of rangeland is quite arable, but in traditional cattle country most of it is marginal.

If you're willing to destroy the marginal land and willing to accept a high risk of crop failure, then most if it can grow wheat. In other words, sort of but not really.
> Again, it really would behoove any would-be saviors of the legal profession to engage with actual practitioners and listen to what their actual problems are

That may be a good idea, but not because they’ll tell you what their problems are. Asking people what their problem is leads to responses like ‘faster horses’ instead of ‘cars’, and this whole Word situation reeks strongly of that.
If your site is pure static files, sure, it's added overhead. But if you're doing anything dynamic on the server, connecting to a database etc, then HTTPS is a tiny, tiny percentage of the work being done by the hardware. CPUs are very well optimized for these tasks these days https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set.
NYT crossword is the best word puzzle game app I've found. They're adding another notch to that. Expect revenue model to be similar to what they're already doing. 1 free a day, sub to get more words(along with more of all the other games they have).
not really. there are plenty of middleboxes deployed by IT departments that happily mess with HTTPS traffic, too.
The way I think about this is you have to have the appropriate prerequisites, whether it's a technical book or not.

Here's a loose analogy: you shouldn't take college calculus if you don't already know arithmetic and algebra. And maybe you shouldn't read SICP if you haven't taken its prerequisites either.
There are intercepting https proxies.
You have obviously convinced yourself it is OK to steal because you think it is OK to steal, because you think it is OK to steal. Good for you.

What you never see are the jobs you might affect through your actions. You have actually convinced yourself that you are entitled to use someone else's work product without paying for it in any way. All I can say is that I hope one day someone does the same to you. Maybe then you'll understand that theft has consequences.

If you don't like advertising, stop stealing the products, services and content it supports.

Depends on how stringent of evidence you want.

Supply and demand in housing doesn't work on the purchase price. It works on the monthly payment (and the down payment), because that's the limiting factor for most buyers. If interest rates rise, the monthly payments rise for the same total house price. So fewer buyers can pay those prices. The demand curve shifts, so the price point shifts.

I saw this with our first house. We paid $61K, at 9% interest. Two years later, interest dropped to 7%, and our house was worth $90K. If we had bought the same house two years later, our monthly payment would have been the same.

Yeah, I know, that's anecdote, not data...
> Use GET for everything that can be cached and repeated without side-effects

As long as HTTP is concerned (which must not be specifically REST), HEAD needs to be supported next to GET, too.
Why would anyone play the clone? The real game is free and has the network effect.
You can't. It's some closed source blob that may very well become malware, assuming it isn't already. Use NewPipe instead

That they are a timesink used to justify a positions existence, rather than boost productivity? That's correct.
> That said, these vehicles are clearly not made for a long haul cold weather existence. Can they be made to work for occasional use with some planning and prayer? Sure. But these stories and the counter-claims leave no doubt that people who park cars in -30F and do 300 mile one-way trips through mountain passes and deserted highways should stick to ICE vehicles.

I'm guessing this is hyperbole, but really, this is a scenario that does not exist pretty much anywhere outside of Alaska and Russia. And even still, you'd probably be shocked (heh) at how many fast EV chargers present in these locations.

Every year, the situation with EV chargers has gotten better, by a lot. Consider the fact that John Day OR has a fast charger [1].

There aren't many places in the continental US more than 100 miles from a fast charger. Very little prayer is needed, though a bit of planning is nice. It's hard to find a location that you can't comfortably reach with an EV that has 300+ miles of range.

Union Pacific does this, at least as recently as a few years ago. Software developers are hired straight out of college and go through months of training before they get shown any actual work.

I don't think it's as much about expertise as "CS college graduates don't know how to make software"
>POST requests trigger a bunch of browser safety features that aren't triggered by GETs.

Where do I read about these features getting triggered?
actually... we DID do fragmentation in one of the messages. but i think that one didn't do windowing or something. this is the problem of using UDP, everyone thinks they're Van Jacobson and re-invents TCP poorly. In the case of the viewer, we had at least three implementations of "random transport over UDP," each talking with a different part of the back-end. Each used the same algorithm to deal with packet loss, however: dump core and wait five minutes. (I jest. I think we mostly fixed that, but it did happen occasionally.)
> A true state of freedom and safety from repression, censorship and dictatorships can perhaps be only achieved with more ad-hoc mesh networks.

I've recently started playing with mesh networks. Yggdrasil is excellent. They haven't solved naming, they're focused on mesh routing with e2e encryption. There's a public network. It's very experimental. But it works and its just so cool!

Also worth mentioning is Nebula (made by the Slack devs). Nebula is great for building private mesh networks.

Its a very exciting space right now! I'm hopeful; an open internet is possible.
"Faster" is ambiguous, and there are a lot of factors involved. HTTPS isn't just "add encryption", it's also "do more at once and don't block as much" because HTTP/2 (a faster version of HTTP) only uses HTTPS in practice.

You can discuss "HTTPS performance" in a purist way that makes it look slower than plain HTTP, but in practice (the only way that matters) HTTPS is faster than HTTP.

Or Dell thin clients. Despite some oddities with the Cherry Trail (?) boards used on the Wyse 3040 series, they are x86 and have similar processing power to the Rpi4. They come with a quad core processor, 2GB of RAM and (usually) 8GB of storage, which I assume is EMMC. Multiple USB ports, gigabit Ethernet, dual DisplayPort out.

You can usually find them for around $35-40.
Viral load. Number of viral copies per volume of fluid.

Merely exposing someone to a virus does not necessarily result in widespread infection. A low enough number of copies could be neutralized by the host's immune response before it has a chance to spread significantly. How low this number is depends on the virus. For example, COVID-19 load is higher in symptomatic patients.

Chronic viral infections are managed by reducing as much as possible the number of viral copies in circulation. Risk of transmission is mitigated when number of copies is low enough. There are studies showing risk of HIV transmission approaches zero when HIV load < 200 copies/ml. Ideal would be HIV load < 50 copies/ml or undetectable.

The QUERY method is definitely the way to go. GET with a body is iffy. If you owned the entire stack it might be doable. But once you don't have control of the many http proxies and firewalls that a GET with a body has to travel then it becomes a problem. I think the RFC does not explicitly define the behavior of GET with a body. So, proxies or firewalls can just drop the message and be completely HTTP compliant.

Not passing judgement - you may have very well qualified your statement. But having dealt with the above issue some years back (as in being the person on the debugging run) I do sympathize with the unhappiness. :)

I know a few people in the military and it's hit or miss. If you're a CO then the army will move your stuff or provide a stipend if you prefer external movers or if your move date isn't available.

I can't remember if the same holds true for E-rank and NCO's though.
The proxies in question strip HTTPS, and re-encrypt with a certificate your IT department installed on your device.
I mean, it's up to "John" to actually send it back to them. And if he doesn't, the cost to get it back via the courts is probably more than it's worth.
It does? I haven't tried the free version in a long time but now that you say it, that does ring a bell...

Well that certainly doesn't help for virality.
