Absolutely, and the tokens don't need to have multi-trillion dollar market caps for this to happen either.

The tokenization of everything is a mixed bag. On one hand it leads to perverse incentives that result in an incredibly low signal-to-noise ration. On the other hand it enables types of consensus that don't exist when there's not a penalty for misbehaviour (specifically for proof-of-stake and staking, the token makes it possible to reward network participants, while making the cost of attacking the network higher than the market cap of the network).

Service discovery is already a function of DNS be it bare bones for decades like a SRV record saying which port the HTTP server is on to DNS-SD which is more catalog style infrastructure. Things like LDAP clients actually obey service discovery already. Things like HTTPS servers/browsers have resisted it because of the current security infrastructure (name only based) issues it would open not the network infrastructure. It's not like the security infrastructure side even needs to be redone from the ground up it's just the juice from changing the existing infrastructure hasn't been deemed worth the squeeze by anyone yet.

TLS being deeply embedded has led to more problems than it avoids. Things like QUIC or HTTP/3 are the result of even just TCP sockets being OS managed. Getting anything new to happen when the old is 12 OS implementations updated independently of the program is never going to be popular with programs. That said Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows all support kTLS APIs already, in the case of the latter for about 2 decades. It can be useful in some situations but it's not a silver bullet.

Those layers already exist, actually an option at each layer: IPsec, DTLS, TLS, HTTPS. The lack of bottom up integration and universal adoption isn't from lack of having another option, fighting that it's easy to control the auth the way you want in the HTTPS layer is probably the main restriction.

Tracing tags are considered too problematic for privacy in modern protocols. E.g. QUIC offers an optional spin bit. Putting tracing tags about the full path of every packet certainly wouldn't fly, as convenient as it would make things. For debug packets only that's what ICMP already is.

.

There are a lot of cool things that could be done with a redesigned stack, mostly around preventing ossification of the lower layers, but it's not like it's ever been golden from day 1 or will ever be golden "if we just get it right next time"™. If the journey thus far has taught us anything it's that the internet protocol stack should design itself to avoid being everything included and instead try to be as transparent a transport it can so end applications can choose their own way of doing things without the assumptions of the transport getting in the way.

I worried somebody would interpret my tweet like this. This is not a fair description of what happened, and it seems like I'm throwing my coworker under the bus by allowing this implication.

When we're deprecating things, we normally keep them for years. In this case, this was not about a deprecation. It's about a case where internal properties were used with a clear agreement with our team that they are not supported, we will remove them without warning, and that the consuming code should always be ready for them to be removed.

When my coworker removed them, he didn’t “just” delete them but he shimmed it so that the consuming code would not crash (but also would not get the functionality). That’s the agreement we had with the teams when these dependencies were added.

The “sending a message” part was that despite our initial agreement, the features were nevertheless being depended on more seriously, and it wasn’t until after this incident that the severity was understood.

Much worse than that. There may be a few non-hybrid models that can get that high, but they're very uncommon. You have to remember the best selling "car" in the US is a Ford F-150. They're also exempt from CAFE as I understand it, as they're classified as light trucks rather than cars.

This almost certainly has more to do with how low our gas tax is compared to almost every other developed country though, than any direct regulation.
I'm triple-vaccinated, but I did it grudgingly, after reviewing as much data as I could.

My prior is "public health is top priority for the powers that be and my individual health is not". Throughout this pandemic this has been demonstrated repeatedly.

Therefore when authorities insist that I do something, I have to try to look up stats for my age group and category and do my best to interpret that correctly as a layman, because authorities might be asking me to do something that is safer for the general public at my expense as an individual.

Since you worked at WhatsApp, you'd have seen it first hand how Rick Reed et al pushed the boundaries of FreeBSD network stack and Erlang BEAM... 2M+ (TCP) long-lived connections per server, though presumably to different (CGNAT?) destinations back in 2012: https://blog.whatsapp.com/1-million-is-so-2011/

Acknowledging that WhatsApp may have never hit the limits Cloudflare has, did FreeBSD make it easier than it would have been on Linux [0]?

Is it common for network load balancers to instead bypass the kernel (xdp, netmap, snabbswitch etc) and take over connection management entirely (perhaps, along with a hand-rolled TCP/IP flow manager)?

It was assembly language programmers who wrote the first compilers. Higher-level compiled languages were not a threat, because writing code and knowing languages are not the key important skills of software development, and programmers knew that back in the olden days of assembly.
Because of the sheer numbers the amount of vaccinated still are the majority in the hospital. You rate of going to the hospitalization is lower, but the raw numbers show more people in the hospital that are vaccinated.

The people are are unvaccinated in some cases have medical reason not to be and therefore be more likely to be hospitalized for anything. You'd need to stratify the numbers by age, vaccine status, and comorbidity status to get the full picture.

Early on when the 99% are unvaccinated line was going around all the data used was usually from before the vaccines were available.

Facebook is probably planning on doing this too, and they will probably use much more lax privacy standards along with other things to bait developers over.

They have enough of their own powerhouse apps to make their store happen too, which is scary. All they have to do is say that the only way to get Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp is through the Meta Store and they have a huge audience overnight.
Ok, use rent, it’s still more expensive.

United states is cheaper compared to other countries no matter how you slice it.

Why don’t you just accept facts lol. People in other countries have to spend more of their income for housing.

I once hooked up a parallel port to a garage door opener to emulate dip switches. Back then garage doors use an 8 pin dip to set your code differently from your neighbors.

None of the phase 3 trials measured protection against infection, and none of the press releases mention infection, see Pfizer’s original results: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20201118005595/en/

I think confusion comes from the use of “COVID-19” which is not a virus or infection specifically but a disease caused by sars-ncov2 infection. If you have an asymptomaic infection, you don’t have COVID-19.
It won't keep up like this. It is inevitable that sooner or later everybody will have been infected at least once. Covid-19 will have become just another seasonal respiratory infection that everyone catches for the first time when they're young and the few bad cases will almost all be successfully handled with medicine. Some people may keep getting yearly vaccinations, like so many do with influenza. Most probably won't. Life will largely return to what it was, except for what our experiences during this time has done to our outlook in life.
Good question. A bit of experience, some guesswork, and a lot of testing and benchmarking along the way. I separated out global and local opcodes originally because I wanted individual variable accesses to be fast (why do at runtime what you can do at compile time). As I mention in the article, originally I had all the builtin functions as separate opcodes, but that was slower due to the sheer number of opcodes and Go's current binary tree approach to "switch". I also used Go's profiling tools a bunch to see where the hotspots where. I'm sure there's significant room for improvement, but it's hard, because sometimes when you improve one benchmark, something else suffers.
I recently reformatted my personal machine from Slack 14.2 to Ubuntu, and did not have a fun time. The second time that Ubuntu randomly bricked my machine with an update, I changed tack. I'm now running Alpine Linux as my desktop, and I have to say it's absolutely a spiritual successor to Slack. Very similar installation process, very simple design, and I've had to re-learn how to set up a desktop, hardware, etc. It's been fun! It's extremely fast too. (and as a bonus: no systemd!)
Yes, I also don't expect any thanks from my kids for providing them the things that they need, as well as a happy and fulfilling time

What I have started trying to do more is getting all of us to acknowledge what we are grateful for — food on the table, the times we have fun, our brothers and sisters, our tidy home. This stops it from becoming about thanking me (which I find odd and unnecessary) and about appreciating what we are lucky enough to have
You have a point about the infrastructure. But the devices themselves aren't Apple's devices, they are owned by Apple customers. I'd bet most of these Apple customers would be fine with you "using" their devices for free to locate your stuff, as long as you don't charge them either when they use your devices to locate their stuff.
This is an unreasonable demand of any funding model. Lacking literal infinite money, funders must prioritize based on attributes they can observe. Since the future is not perfectly predictable, they will necessarily have a non-zero false-negative rate. There will always be people who could be said to deserve funding who slip through the cracks.

Meanwhile, these new institutes don't have to solve every possible problem with funding research to be worthwhile. They should be judged on whether they're an improvement to the state of the art, not on whether they solve this one problem the author cares about.
I used Slackware for years in the 90's before moving to FreeBSD. I honestly thought the project was dead and moved to Arch. Sadly, I'm not coming back, but I keep fond memories.

I listened to a podcast a while back that discussed why the US shifting towards this approach (after a period of less constrained funding post WW2) has lead to worse returns on research investment.

The basic premise boiled down to: Scientists already want to work on valuable things, they just have different priorities. Understanding unknowns is motivation enough for them. But this makes the impact of their work also unknown, and scary to people who see that motivation as wasteful.

Making them justify ahead of time why their work will be useful, to satisfy the risk tolerance of financiers, means that they need to reduce that unknown before they even start, and potential impact with it.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I personally believe big ambitions lead to a more interesting journey, as well as having the ability to have more impact at scale. Impressive MRR!

The F-16XL is mostly white and is housed at Edwards (last I knew) and there are detachment people there for testing. Can't think of a good reason that F-16XL would be at Groom.

But people are over-thinking it here. There's not enough information in the photo to determine (other than the aircraft isn't white).
No. If there are Nazis in your group, and you don't kick them out, you're a fucking Nazi.

There is no reason to ever allow Nazis to have any sort of freedom. We literally had a world war about this.
>Or you have multiple camera angles and you switch between them to hide the cuts. Like they've done in movies forever.

Not exactly. Most movies use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-camera_setup, so even though there might be cuts to different camera angles, each angle actually comes from different takes. The goal of different angles isn't really to cut out pauses/fillers, it's for stylistic/cinematography reasons.

>People started doing jump cuts in youtube videos and for some reason we're stuck with it.

Probably because setting up multiple cameras and lighting them is cost prohibitive for low budget videos on youtube?
The lack of audio input's is driving me bonkers. I have a record player and Sonos Beam. To use it, I have to plug in a mic adapter into my MacBook and connected that to the record player, then use Loopback Audio to redirect the input audio as Airplay audio to my Sonos Beam. Truly how "analog" audio was supposed to be listened to.

I've tried getting a Raspberry Pi and following some guides to turn it into an internet radio broadcaster that I can then pipe into Sonos, but the audio quality was always atrocious and the case that came with my Pi kit has a fan that is super loud.

I could get a Sonos Port for 700 AUD and do it the official way... but my record player is only like 300 AUD so it doesn't seem worth it. Here's hoping I can find a cheap used one.

Sonos needs to add an analog audio in port on more of their devices.

Before Elon Musk predicted full self-driving, robo-taxis, and colonies on Mars "next year" for a decade, pundits predicted that automation (either AI or no-code) would eliminate programmers. The only actual threat to employment as a programmer came from outsourcing overseas. Even though that's vastly easier today (thank, Internet) than it was back in the '80s and '90s when management was keen on it, it never happened at large enough scale to put a dent in the demand for skilled programmers. Apparently no one at the HBR or WSJ figured that China and India might develop domestic demand for programmers.

If there are five trucks there, most of this is moot. If there are a couple thousand, this gets interesting.

- How many bulldozers do you have nearby?

- How many bulldozers do you have nearby that are on the government's side here?

- Where's your nearest hole or parking lot big enough to put a couple thousand trucks in, indefinitely?

- Who's going to pay for that? Your truckers are in jail, so you threaten to...jail them if they don't pay?

It's Canada, not Xinjiang. The worst they can do is jail you in a cushy prison for longer, with people who already counted the cost.
>America's economy was founded on the enslavement of Black people and racist behavior is encoded in some of our systems of government and behavior to this very day.

Oops. You just described the foundation of critical race theory, any mention of which is explicitly forbidden in the bills being discussed. So you can teach the history of America's founding, but you just can't teach that slavery was in any way racist, and you definitely can't teach that "racist behavior is encoded in some of our systems of government and behavior to this very day." Because that would make white people, and in particular modern day white supremacists, feel uncomfortable.

The article mentions numerous ways in which these bills are crafted explicitly to prohibit the teaching of certain uncomfortable truths, while expressly requiring teachers to apply political biases defined by the state (such as the Indiana bill forbidding the teaching of "anti-American ideologies.") Their purpose is not to allow the teaching of fact, but to enshrine into law the teaching of right-wing Christian conservative orthodoxy as fact.
A most excellent curse, I must say.
The point is that most people overestimate the one danger and underestimate the others. So you have people having nightmares about a disposal consuming their arm - which literally never happens except in made-up stories - but not hesitating to reach into one to get a broken piece of a glass or jar, in no small part because they think "when the power is off it's perfectly safe to put your hand in the disposal". Not that you could drop it on your foot or something. Besides, the more typical injury is dropping it on your head while you're installing or removing it. See what I mean?

You can figure out the analogy here for yourself.

The analogy that someone who supplies toilet paper is guilty for what their customer does is not fitting here. Let's say I am paid and entrusted to watch and protect a herd of sheep. A guy pays me $150 each time to come over and have some pleasure with those sheep many many times. I did not do the thing myself, but I certainly know what is going on and profit from it. I am not a good person, and you should not entrust me with your sheep.

Really bad. Feeling sad since my grandmother passed away this weekend. Also, a mix of stress and feeling of being lost due to multiple reasons related to taking care of my old mother and worrying about my mentally ill brother. I always have to pretend like I’m ok and be there for family so I don’t have anyone to tell about how I really feel. I’m also not able to find motivation to work and advance in my carrier. Adding to all of that is financial issues. I also feel like I’m dependent on adderall and started to abuse it since it helps me focus on work and avoid thinking about the other issues.however, I feel like it’s just making it worse. So yeah..thanks for asking!

> E.g. I am heating my garage with an electric heater because it costs me zero.

There's very few situations in which pushing electrons through a resistor is the best use of the electrons. Why not build a BOINC farm for the winter or something? You put 1000W through a heater, you get 1000W thermal. You push 1000W through a collection of computers that are old and more or less free, you get... still 1000W thermal, plus compute.

If you ask in the right places, you can get some older computers that don't work for people anymore nearly free - think about 1st-5th gen Intel Core stuff, random spinning hard drives, inefficient old 80+ Bronze PSUs, etc. For heat, they all work just fine, and do something productive in the process.

If I have surplus electricity, I heat my (solar, off-grid) office in the winter exactly this way - on some random old 4th/5th/6th gen Intel stuff I got cheap to use in this way. I used to run climateprediction.net stuff, but they're out of work, so I mostly throw cycles at World Community Grid during daylight hours.

Interesting. If there are a lot of new vessels built, then they could be facing poor margins again in a few years after supply comes online.

>You're saying that the European equivalent of Dallas is ... Bucharest? Really?

Strictly in terms of how their cost of housing compares to their larger geographic areas (US and Europe), yes. Both are less than the median. In all other aspects, no. I personally haven't visited any European city that's as equivalently awful as Dallas.

My point was you can't just look at Dallas and assume that all real estate in the US is affordable and that everyone in the US looking for affordable housing has it easy. The problem is ChuckNorris89 took Dallas then applied it to the US in general in their comments.

It would have been equally incorrect if someone had said, "as an American I envy how affordable real estate is in Europe compared to California for example. I have a bunch of colleagues that live in Bucharest and they can live in very cheap houses while I'm stuck in a small, extremely expensive apartment in Los Angeles. Living next to the beach is nice in Los Angeles, but the real estate market there is crazy compared to how good Europe has it."
