I’m guilty of doing this at my current company.

I am a creative builder. There’s something inspiring about building things in a new format, the same way an artist might explore art in a new medium.

I get frustrated with the parts of the company that use “technology X” because it’s a “core competency.” I’d be more accepting of this argument if I didn’t notice a strong correlation between proponents of this strategy and people who often do bare minimum maintenance, purely market request driven, nothing inspiring or innovative or game changing. Then competitor does something cool next door and tue blame game starts as the pink slips issue.

Evolve or die.

There is of course the flip side of this coin, and the yen-yang of balance is what makes for the best strategy.
> Having worked in insurance, this piece makes me wonder what languages are typically used to write software in insurance or other business medical type settings.

I'm not sure if it's different for medical insurance, but I worked with a company that did other types of insurance (mostly life with a smattering of others), and it was Java as far as the eye could see. Most things that pre-dated Java were done in COBOL.

Bit of a stretch. It has a lot of bot content in some places, but for Q&A stuff you'll get more relevant results than most stuff google suggest these days.

Searching for some certain cooking methods gives me endless blog spam that's usually not even remotely related to what I'm looking for and full of stories about a fictional childhood in a country the author has never been to. Meanwhile a reddit search will have a to the point comment summing up the method in 2 lines, as well as a bunch of people arguing about it.

I honestly won't mind paying publishers to read the articles I want to read. However, I'm not interested in reading 90% of the articles from a publication/website. I hope, there will be an easy and seamless way to pay-as-you-read per article or a day/week/month pass.

It is not that I don't know how to "hack" and find ways to read paywalled articles -- almost every paywalled website is un-paywallable. It is that it is very irritating, and taxes the brain.

I pay for quite a few of them, hoping to support the writers, and do not worry about finding ways to find ways around. Eventually, I do NOT read more than 2-3 articles a week from them. Most of the time, months goes by without even stumbling on a single article from such publications.
The writing style is hard to follow. Did anyone who read the article find interesting points?

Overall, would not recommend wasting your time with this article. Dunno why it was posted or written. Kind of a stream of consciousness thing, doesn't work well.

Lookup ‘laffer curve’ for the explanation. Essentially, decreasing the tax rate incentivized more participants into the market and incentivized existing participants too
I can relate to this because it's one of the reasons I originally downloaded all 14 floppy disk images required to install Slackware. I've always been a big 'just read the god damn manual' type of guy and I immediately realized there would be an endless opportunity to read a lot of manuals.
Xen started out as a research project at the University of Cambridge.

Similarly, one of the cofounders of VMware, Mendel Rosenblum, is a CS professor at Stanford, and VMware’s first products were built on his academic research into hypervisors.

Academic research has had far more practical significance in this space than you give it credit for. Meanwhile, Virtual 8086 mode’s limitations meant it had limited value except as a backward compatibility environment for running legacy DOS software on newer operating systems (Windows, OS/2, Linux, etc), and as the years passed that use case became less and less relevant-V86 mode is essentially a technological dead-end. The academic research which went into VMware and Xen left a major mark on the whole industry.

And if you read academic papers on hypervisors, you’ll see IBM’s mainframe virtualisation technology cited as prior work, again and again and again.
I love it! Not sure about the crank but everything else is incredible! I tried to go memory LCD but I couldn't get sharp to talk to me and was also too expensive at the time. I'd love to join their team! I've pestered Cabel for a job but I think he has bigger plans. Maybe I should start an Arduboy on Playdate petition? :D

It's really awesome to see to see all these other consoles follow in Arduboy's footsteps. Arduboy as not the first console like this but, I'm biased, I think it has been the best.

Really, I'm excited to see the entire industry of things like this grow, and it's nice to know I'm a part of it in some way.
This was, literally, one of the arguments for building and releasing kubernetes. The rise of Hadoop made it much harder to justify MapReduce being different.

If we just talked about Borg, but didn't ship code, someone else might have set the agenda, rather than Kube.
Did anyone here play Graal Online? That was the big MMO of my childhood (besides Runescape). I definitely put over 10k hours into it in total over the years. The unique format where different servers were like whole separate games meant you could burn out on Unholy Nation and then go play Era or Zodiac for a few months. It was hard to get entirely bored of Graal because of that. There were also small player-made servers not on the public list, and development tools anyone could download. I was a staff member on many obscure servers over the years, making amateurish levels and reusing scripts other people made. Made lots of friends, although only kept up contact with a couple outside the game. I dream of a similar game, but that's fully free software. The game very much died and it was more from all the admins leaving it to rot than the players leaving, imo. Some things just couldn't be fixed by the community. This game had GNU/Linux support before it was cool, but at one point there was some bug that apparently made it possible to steal account passwords, so they updated the Windows and Mac OS clients and didn't let old versions connect. They never updated the GNU/Linux client. Worse yet, the link to the useless version remained on their downloads page still, last I checked. This is basically what killed the game for me finally. I did play it in Wine a little some years later, but the magic was gone for me. I never liked having or using Wine, and the game was pretty dead on top of that. The bad vibes piled up and I moved on.
Here's what ZERO of the doomer-preppers (including smart analysts and economists) don't get about inflation.

When a US citizen earns an EXTRA dollar, they pay MARGINAL Tax on it (not average tax, but MARGINAL).

The left (or right) of the GDP equation is literally income. So a 7% inflation means, US treasury gets MARGINAL tax revenue on the 7% income, which mathematically means that Tax Revenue increase has a higher-multiplier effect. (A 1% inflation may result in 3% more tax revenue)

So, all these scaremongering of US having to pay extra interest is actually false. Treasury will make far more Tax Revenue than the rate Federal Reserve can raise rates, which means they can easily absorb high rates.

All in all, Fed is still better of erring on the inflation side than crashing the economy.

Inflation eats away 7% of most people's income. A Recession will eat 100% of many people's income.

Note: This Tax collection phenomenon is completely different from inflation favoring debtors, which is also another advantage for USG.

I think thats actually a solid idea for a crypto wallet on-boarding: simulate each scam that's likely to be tried against you, let you fall for it so you can see how the scheme works, thereby teaching you how crypto works, one exploit at a time.
For sure, I'm familiar with the concept, but wouldn't expect that effect alone to close the gap. But maybe companies actually chose to realize more gains once the rate was lowered.

Need to find a good post hoc analysis of how revenue ended up higher.

Also weird side note, Arthur Laffer is in his 80s but sounds/looks in his 60s in his interviews. Kind of amazing!
Most people don’t recognise the value of almost everything you buy. The important thing is that somebody does.
SRV solves so many issues. It was codified as a standard 22 years ago. Maybe because it was invented at Microsoft, and the "year 2000 M$" was evil, the free software/open source people weren't interested in it and now it's mainly used by Microsoft products; as far as I can tell from my own experience with it.
It's really not, but perhaps more importantly it shows why retirement income streams should respond to inflation and not be fixed.

As someone who has lived in a country with mild inflation all my life it's not as scary to me as it seems to be to US folk. It's just another variable in the formula.

(Americans seem to conflate any inflation with hyper inflation, which seems weird.)

I've come to understand though that most US retirement plans are fixed-income based, so _any_ inflation results in lower real income. Because inflation didn't exist for so long retirees were sold fixed income plans.

So, rather than ignore inflation, or hope it remains negligible, its better to plan with it in mind - to structure your retirement investments so they are effectively immune to inflation (ie their value gets higher as inflation exists.)

Incidentally inflation has equal benefits on the other side, loans are eroded in value as inflation happens, which is (to the borowwer) a good thing (and that ultimately applies to foreign debt as well).
“Don’t roll your own crypto” is great sense for production software. It is not good advice for people who are interested in learning to write good crypto, which we will continue to need. For those people: roll as much as you can! Roll your own Feistel network. Roll your own AES implementation, and then roll your own side channel attack to break it. Roll your own timing attack. And then eventually, maybe you’ll be the one to roll the first draft of the built-in implementation of $WELL_KNOWN_PRIMITIVE in $NEW_MAJOR_LANGUAGE. :)
I experienced both sides of this in five years at a company in hypergrowth.

In year 1, I was determined to accomplish X and ignored the skeptical comments of some colleagues who'd been at the company longer than me. I failed and wasted some time. In years 4 and 5, new colleagues were determined to accomplish X and ignored my skeptical comments.

I learned so much at that job.
So let me get this straight - open source maintainer gets mad when large companies "abuse" open source, despite him making it MIT licensed and choosing himself to allow large companies to use it? And he believes the best response is to break the entire library?

Absolutely nobody forced this guy to use MIT - so why be mad when the license is used as written?

Depends on what cryptocurrency you want to experiment with. Bitcoin Cash looks to have $0.0007 transaction fees [1]. Seems like $5 would get you some basic experience. Another option is to get some free tokens from a testnet faucet, then everything you play with is free.

I love the rule of 72, but my calculus class affectionately called it the rule of 69.pi (69.314). More accurate (you can round to 72 in your head anyway) and so much more fun to remember.
There is a bit of a conundrum with this issue.

Just last week I went over user accounts for one of my apps and deleted those that had expired for longer than 6 months on the live server.

So, their data is off the live server but still on weekly backups that are rotated out and deleted after 4 weeks. But I also have snapshots of that server that go back years and it would be some work to delete a user's data on those. And other users might need to recover data, so I can't just delete the snapshots.

> Also, "everyone nervous" is an interesting choice of words - I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't really care one way or the other. What is it about AGPL that causes stress among the masses?

Things like Google's AGPL internal policy[1] existing as a public piece of corporate-friendly IP propaganda have snowballed into a lot of FUD about the license.

People like to parrot perceived and secondhand opinions about the AGPL, and "some companies don't like the AGPL" transformed into "the AGPL makes everyone nervous."

> This is just my personal opinion, but I think email lists the most accessible decentralized substitute. It's 2022, and we have much better techniques to apply to spam filtering.

I contend that this isn’t true.

First of all, if it was true, there would not be so many deliverability problems with email.

But, more importantly, there are solid, definitional reasons why spam filtering can never be particularly good. Is it spam if a bot copies questions from one mailing list to another one with a similar topic, in an attempt to build out a reputation? The copied “spam” emails have identical content to legitimate traffic, but there’s no human at the other end, and the seemingly-good user is eventually going to “cash in” on their reputation by posting actual spam. Similar tactics can attack Bayesian filters, and IP address-based systems are getting less useful over time as CG-NAT becomes more popular.

Personally, I think “spam filtering” as a heuristic that you tack onto an otherwise spam-vulnerable protocol has been about as good as it will ever get for the last decade [1].

Email and traditional web forums share most of the same problems, but web forums have two big advantages:

* Forums can reactively remove spam, as can USENET [2]. Mailing lists have to filter everything before fanning out. ML archives can be redacted, but anyone maintaining their own personal archive has to do any post-delivery filtering themselves.

* Forums have somewhat more operational flexibility. You won’t see Reddit/HN-style voting in mailing lists unless you customize your local tooling to support it. Normally, all a ML can do is decide whether to block it entirely or not.

I mean, you said the government not stepping in is the problem, and the source of that problem is money...

That's just what capitalism is. There is no ideal world where people max out their earnings and say "haha i'll be a friendly competitor and work for the benefit of the people :))))". People with vested interests will always push for less regulation, and the consequence of a successful push is never "everyone is better off and paying less!" Other developed countries have more regulation and lower prices. That's simply a fact.
That likely explains part of it, but if you look at total revenues per year looks like it basically just subtracted one year of annual growth from trend.

If it was primarily due to one time realizations, you would expect a spurt shortly afterwards, followed by decline.
I think most the original techbros are in management now.

I always assumed the label was derived from the huge influx of people into CS in the late 90's and very early 2000's because of the dot-com boom. I know there were a lot of people at my school at that time that seemed like they would have been in business or finance classes if not for the obscene money they saw thrown around by internet companies when in highschool or before choosing a major.

I mean, that's a valid choice and people are going to choose careers based on money, but if that ends up wildly changing the makeup of the people commonly in that career, you can expect the people that went into it for interest in the work to come up with some salty nicknames for those they see as interlopers.
In general, yes. But you can plausibly construct a scenario where a some members of a rich elite rob the country and run off with the proceeds.

See eg Jho Low.

(If you look at the rest of the comments, I am basically arguing your point. But let's not trivialise the other side in this debate.)
It's worth noting that those 4.5 billions had a value of 75 millions or so when they were stolen. It's also worth noting the "heist" happened in 2016, so before that talk.

I remember a comment linked in bestof where someone who works in advertising explained how he would build up a bunch of Reddit accounts, each with a different profile so when an opportunity to tell a fabricated story came up, he could place a product plug in an AskReddit thread or similar.

He wouldn't even directly name the product. As an example, if he were selling a particular brand of boots, he would mention how great his boots performed but not mention the brand. Naturally someone will ask for the brand as a recommendation and voilà he plugs the product in the most natural fashion. It doesn't seem like an ad because he was just directly answering another user's question. But the entire build-up to that moment was manufactured to sell the product.
I don't think it's a stretch, he put it much better words than I could have done.

P.S. For cooking I've been using exclusively wikipedia for the last 3-5 years. It's actually amazing the kind of content you can find. Next time try searching "cooking method wiki" :)

The mention of accessibility at the end reminds me of this very celebrated post from 2015: https://engineering.flipboard.com/2015/02/mobile-web.

There was just a throwaway line at the end on accesibility: "This area needs further exploration."
Hello,

I would like to ask for your feedback on a website I've been working on. I recently developed a Spotify playlist sharing forum ( https://sharelist.org).

The site functions as a social board where users can share and review playlists. The long-term goal is to create an active community for individuals to find new music they enjoy. The website is currently in beta, and I hope to launch soon. Please let me know your honest opinion and any thoughts on room for improvement!

Site to test: https://sharelist.org

Thank you so much.
