I had this same experience by proxy and myself was very skeptical. I had asked people around me what they thought about scrum and almost universally people were unclear on what it was supposed to do for them and for each person there was a different complaint.

I read some books on it and overall surveyed it and found that in each of these cases they weren't really doing scrum and were never told why they'd be doing each part because no one bothered. I implemented scrum with my team after explaining exactly what benefits we wanted out of it (for the team mainly, but it also helps stakeholders) and it's a lot better than the pseudo-agile unstructured work we had before at the very least.

We're a part of the planning process, we know the basic motivations behind the things we're doing (user stories' "... so that..." section) and a much clearer picture of when a feature is done (acceptance criteria), our time evaluations are the only ones that matter and have nothing to do with some manager's idea of when something ought to be done.

I'm sure we'll adjust things as time passes and we recognize deficiencies, but I'm pretty happy with even the basic things we get out of it and some of our team members who were previously not happy with scrum are saying it's much better when you know why you're doing these things and when you actually do key parts of the process and don't rip out important bits.
When you’re at the point that sharding is an important consideration, "just use X" doesn’t apply for any X anymore (except "the expertise in your own team" etc).

The advise is clearly targeted at those with a scale orders of magnitude smaller than Notion.

I don’t think anyone is claiming "you should just use Postgres" without knowing about your constraints. And if they do, I guess that’s a useful heuristic to know when someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

It’s still good advise for the 95%, even if you yourself fall outside of that. Part of the reason you get paid well is to know when advise applies and whet it does not, and to not waste energy arguing in either case.
That's a common configuration for larger arrays where you probably don't want to make individual RAIDZ arrays too wide on their own. It's functionally similar to RAID 50 or 60. However when the budget is tight you might be incentivized to compromise on performance or reliability, so this new expansion feature really does help in hobbyist or shoestring budget situations where you just want one huge array to maximize usable space while still being able to tolerate some failures. Typically you would buy disks as you go along to try to stretch the budget further as utilization increases.
It is almost rediculous how everything is a subtle bullshit with nice wording.

Yes, neither ivermectin nor hydroxychloroquine had an agent which is relevant at the level of a RNA viruses, a hurricane can be seen long before they are here (unlike earthquakes let's say) and every single social construction, be it a religion or anything of a lesser scale, has distinct patterns and social techniques, such as secrecy, etc.

The world has no miracles, except in Nature, and even those are bounded by the environment.

But, of course, one can get the HN front page these days with such a subtle bullshit.
That’s my approach, anyway. I trust iOS’ sandboxing a bit more than a desktop OS. At least they can’t do things like installing a web server or reading files I’d like to keep private.
The "law" itself may be unconstitutional.
"wide chars" == wchar_t, sizeof(char) == 1, sizeof(wchar_t) > sizeof(char).
> having credit cards on file is conveniently closer to making more money

It will be a drastic change to pivot the company from one where the customer is the product to the customer.

Credit card input also introduces friction and bounce rate of user signup. This would hurt Facebook's user growth and MAU KPIs
Maddeningly, that episode never arrives at the actual bug. Via a thread the Mazda owner posted on Reddit, I found this great writeup: https://github.com/Hamled/mazda-format-string-bug#readme

TLDR: The problem is the `% In`, and specifically the `%n` - when printf sees that, it tries to store data in memory. Failing to do so, it crashes.
Not to mention that when we talk about other galaxies, then distances are on a whole different scale again. While travelling to other stars takes "only" a few thousand years, to go to another galaxy you might need several hundred million years with any technology we can currently even imagine.

Even if intelligent life is rare enough that it only appears once on a single galaxy every several billion years, we're still talking probably millions of possible civilizations, though each almost completely out-of-reach of each other.

For Facebook or TikTok it's a sensible move because they are social networks trying to connect natural persons. Not just child protection as mentioned in the article but ecommerce scams, misinformation, catfishing or botting would be cut down if you could verify that the online identity represents who it claims it does.

It would be good though if there is some identity standard across platforms rather than the existing patchwork solutions that exclude people without say, credit cards. Digital ID systems like in South Korea or Taiwan seem good because they're uniform across the country and comparable to national ids.
Storage is cheap, but egress/ingress in and out of gcp is not. I suspect the real reason Google are doing this is a mixture of the two, to reduce network costs and because they've got enough users now.
This kind of thing is why I use Whereby. No plugin is suggested to the user, it always runs in the browser, you can still share your screen and all.

I’m afraid Zoom will upload my whole document folder to the internet “just in case you need to share them during the call, so we don’t consume bandwidth”…
Probably the standard Go compiler doesn't provide many optimization?
I just checked that the one used by The Computer Language Benchmark Game, and not gccgo.

Perhaps..
I wander if Starlink launches are more susceptible to this than a normal launch with a single satellite?

With there being a higher ratio of launched objects surface area to kinetic energy, I would assume they experience a higher effect of drag. It’s a bit like the difference between a shot gun and a rifle, both release a similar amount of energy but the shotgun shot has a much higher surface area and experiences more drag.

(Not a physicist, probably missing something)
So are they not allowed to write about the "far right" or doesn't it exist according to you?
So what you're saying is that the problem people are trying to solve with NFTs has nothing to do with NFTs, and relies heavily on the good will of the corporation in control to work?

Yeah, nah, I'll stay on the fence until there is at least a strong proof of concept for this.
No, that would only allow them to see your name, but you still wouldn't see their names unless they add you.
People already make accounts with phone numbers, I suspect credit cards won't be different.
Is your on-call cut relative to on-call payments or reimbursement?

If a company told me they didn't pay a reasonable amount for on call I'd probably stop the interview.
This situation is technically possible, but I'd be surprised to already have 4/5 letters, and not have already tested R, S, L, or N (N from NIGHT). There are all one point scrabble letters after all. I could see myself needing to roll the dice on MIGHT, TIGHT, WIGHT.
Hey bitspook!
One of Atlas’s creators here.
Thanks for sharing this!

You describe the existing state well. Atlas can currently be used to perform what we call declarative database migrations.

This is great for many use cases. But it will not do for others, for a few reasons .

First, there are many ways to get from point A to point B. The classic example is a table rename. To get from the existing to the desired state, we can either ALTER TABLE or DROP and CREATE it. What did the user mean? Second, migrations are a very sensitive operation that can easily result in an outage if done wrong. Therefore, many companies check each migration into source control and have it reviewed in CR, and perform different quality and safety assessments on it.

Therefore, while “terraform for DBs” sounds great, it’s not enough. In the next versions of Atlas, we’re rolling out a different workflow that we call migration authoring or “versioned migrations” that address these issues in a very cool way that I hope many will view as useful.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hmmmm, in a home-use setting I currently have a scenario where

a) random seek/many-small-files performance has been really had since day 1, I initially suspected old/low-end hardware (i3, 1600MHz RAM) but given that I can do just south of 200MB/s (two-way mirror) I'm kinda staring at ZFS expectantly here

b) I've admittedly managed to net myself a fair few pathological way-too-many-files situations from projects and whatnot that I really do need to get to cleaning up

Fairly early on I noticed apt performance degraded pretty badly, and long before (b) became a substantial concern it got to the point where installing just about anything would take about 60 seconds to do the "Reading database ..." step.

I've been idly curious about tweaking different settings to try and improve performance, but it's mostly been an idle curiosity because I don't have a straightforward way to back out of "oh great now what" edge cases.

This has probably been going on for just around a year or two, and with absolutely no context I'd be confident saying write volume isn't a shadow of what you're doing :) so perhaps that particular tunable is... maybe not relevant? Or maybe it is. I'm curious.
This is what Cisco's conferencing software does, too.

When it works, it means someone can walk into an appropriately equipped meeting room, and the software on their machine detects that.
The audio, video, and screen sharing all route through the meeting room, rather than the laptop. Virtually zero involvement for the user.
At least in my car (2013 Chevy Volt), the backup camera is on an internal KVM-type switch.

The moment I switch into reverse the camera forcibly takes over the infotainment screen. You can occasionally see the signal flicker when the switch happens.

But also… a backup camera is hardly critical equipment. It’s there for situational awareness (and a good idea), but doesn’t replace the mirror. And since nobody drives in reverse at high speed, stopping is always an option if it malfunctions.
I think many people use zen to mean “at peace”. A zen moment is one where everything feels ok.

All his bills are paid. His wife is healthy. In this moment, he’s at peace.
I'm not so sure. I think Facebook might oppose it on the grounds that there are large numbers of people on the cusp who may just abandon Facebook if they have to give their credit card details. Facebook is already haemorrhaging users, I don't think they will want any friction that may lose them more.
My Citroen does that. If you connect to it with BT and play anything with Cyrillic characters in the title from Apple Music it trashes the display trying to render it.
Marlinspike is a self-described anarchist:

Durov seems to be more of a right libertarian type. Whether this qualifies as "anarchist" or not depends on who you ask.
I haven't been hugged by HN yet, but I've survived being featured on a couple other front pages long ago.

It's easy if it's a lightweight page and you have something faster than a 486. If it's heavy (lots of images, videos, downloads, etc) you can run out of bandwidth pretty quickly. However, that doesn't necessarily sink the ship!

Traffic shaping makes a big difference. Without it, the modem buffer quickly fills causing multi-second ping times. This easily leads to congestion collapse. TCP grows the receive window to large values, and the congestion avoidance algorithm doesn't do well when the feedback is delayed due to the latency. TCP starts sawtoothing, and you end up with occasional moments where a few pages get served, interspersed with so much loss that connections get dropped.

We used htb [1] which tightly controls the outbound traffic rate, preferring to drop packets instead of delay them. That prevents the modem's buffer from filling up, which keeps the latency down. This creates a smoother flow. Pages load slowly, but at least they keep loading, instead of wasting bandwidth on retries. It also prioritizes traffic: other services are guaranteed their minimum rates. We were using ssh through the line and didn't even realize we were getting hit until someone asked why the site was running slowly.

Newer algorithms are even better, especially for keeping jitter down, but htb is simple and vastly better than letting your router blast packets at full speed. OpenWRT and all the other open source router firmwares can do it these days. It improves things for even normal end-user uses, but if you're running a server at home, you really want to set up some QOS before someone hugs you to death.

i deeply agree with this
I attended a talk at Nat Geo by the engineers who built the drop probes enclosed by glass spheres. A few interesting bits as I recall them:

The glass is made in two hemispheres and the contact surface is ground flat. There’s no glue or mechanical attachment; the hemispheres are carefully lined up by hand and then they pull vacuum. Atmospheric pressure alone keeps them mated prior to submersion. Then of course they are pushed together harder and harder as they descend.

The engineers talked a university into letting them use their hyperbaric chamber for testing. One of the prototypes failed at high pressure, which sounded like a bomb going off. The glass was reduced to tiny slivers, which the university was still finding in nooks and crannies years later. (The Nat Geo team was not allowed back after that.)

The probes were timed on the bottom by using thin steel wire to attach the weight. Basically the wire would rust until it broke, then the globe would float to the surface and start broadcasting a radio beacon for pickup. They adjusted the time by varying the thickness of wire.

They also stuffed the globes with LED lights and used them as “sun-like” sources of illumination for underwater cave photography.
I'm using the exact same setup as yourself. I have a script that runs every 10 minutes that checks if my external IP has changed and then updates my DNS records via the GoDaddy API.

I also decided to use Hugo to generate my blog (https://tsak.dev)

And I use `goaccess` to check my logs as well.

I think we are in a relatively safe corner of the galaxy though... IIRC there's no cosmical existential threat we know of within the next billion years or so, and the kind of cataclism you're talking about would be the kind of thing we should already be able to predict millions of years in advance.
The expected value will be 6³ = 216 days or about 7 months. Where do you get the factor of two from?

Also, “not really in a lot of danger”? Those odds are worse than that of a 100 year old in the USA (they have a life expectancy of over two years)

Certainly, as an additional risk, it’s high.

>They might rely on generators for electricity, and access might involve a boat, or a quad bike trail that would need enlarging before you could bring construction equipment in and run a cable along it.

Who are this people? ARe they poor farmers or rich dudes on islands?

>I mean ultimately the proof is in the pudding; if it were practical to run internet some other way they would already get it that way.

It might be practical but not obscenely profitable.
I double that Elon sells his stuff only to the above people, the people living in isolated environments with no roads and electricity are too few. In many places it is legal to put cables on the electricity polls and connect a village 25Km away in 1 single day, from what I read this is not allowed in US so you have no internet or a monopoly.
Just fyi, that paragraph is clear and unambiguous. Ironic that billforsternz chose to post his concerns in response to a comment which had addressed them.
The reason Telegram is able to easily outclass WA and Signal in the UX department is due to the lack of E2EE.

If you don't need/want that it is clearly superior, but if you do...

I get your dislike of Brexit (and such sentiments get votes on HN) but this isn’t ‘friction because of Brexit’ - a post Brexit government could choose to not do this at all, or choose to implement something better.

It’s just an implementation of a crappy idea by a crappy government.
They have already burned up. The storm caused increased drag on the satellites before they could boost their orbit. This is by design, specifically to avoid space debris.

It does explain all this in the article.

The problem with the frankenstack, where you levy a couple of hand-picked libraries, is that there’s no guarantee or roadmap that will make newer versions of your libraries (and their dependencies) play together nicely a year or two on. If the number of libraries can be kept to a minimum, then maybe it’ll be a viable strategy.

Oh nice - do you get many problems that slip through even though tests pass? I had a minor update to the Stripe SDK recently that broke something.
> Addendum: all of these same complaints (save: weak crypto) can be used against Signal.

Better and E2E crypto is the main argument for Signal though.

This is a significant difference between those two. You can't just ignore it if you build up such a case.
Maybe that person is comparing it to more traditional chat clients like Pidgin or Hexchat. Right now on my Manjaro desktop, Telegram is using 230mb of RAM, while Pidgin is taking 46mb. That being said, its a hell of a lot better than Slack, which could use up several gigabytes if you were in multiple groups.

I think the sentiment always was that Intel would be doomed, if it were not for the fact that it’s too important an asset to the US gov. Same for Boeing.

What I’d say matters the most is whether Intel can keep up / take back the lead in terms of innovation with TSMC / AMD / all ARM things. The next 5 years will be super interesting to see how things develop.

EU energy markets are also very liberal, similar to Texas. The deregulation happened long time ago.

But states have interconnections that make it more resilient.
This is what it's like when a new investment sector starts up. The dotcom's start was very much the same. People were paid top dollar for simple web pages. And companies where promising that web pages were the solution to the world's problems. There were a lot of scams, a lot of speculation and eventually everything crashed and eventually there were a few profitable companies that delivered on their promises.

Yes, most crypto is speculative smoke and mirrors. Most companies will crash and burn but at some point something useful will survive.

My guess is that by 2028 most of the speculation will be over and the useful companies will be up and running. But who knows what those will be.
WebEx (even in the browser) stars and stops the mic every time you mute and unmute and it works fine. There is no technical blocker.
Also, I think there are plenty of mutations that do negatively affect all four areas. For example: Down syndrome, Williams syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. (The "beauty" is subjective, of course, but I expect people's sense of "beauty" to be optimized towards "avoiding potential mates with genetic defects".) I knew about the first two; I learned about the third by clicking on a few entries in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Syndromes_with_cranio... .

I expect there are plenty more mutations that have a mild negative effect in all areas, but are sufficiently mild that they haven't been identified as "disorders".

The problem with articles like this is that they take one good clear simple point, "the existence of experts using heuristics causes predictable over-updates towards those heuristics", and pad it out with so many examples and allegories that, understandably, what the reader wants to talk about is the validity and accuracy of the examples. These, of course, aren't the point of the piece, but the point of the piece is so slight that it hardly bears discussing. Of course everyone looks to the actual content.
Run by Nathan Hale I remember it well. My buddies and I at Lakeside were inspired by this to try to get our school to run its own station, when that got denied we looked at options for building a pirate radio station but ultimately decided against it. We ended up building a recording studio at Lakeside instead.

Dice (typically) do not have a memory, so whatever happened yesterday will not influence what happens today. If you roll it daily, your chance of surviving at least N days is (215/216)^N, for the specific case of "rolling three 6 on three 6-sided dice" that puts you at ~50% at 149 days and at ~10% at 496 days.

At sufficient scale, even incredibly unlikely things become quite probable.
