How big is the company? Is it all prestigious?

If you are at a small startup, your manager is just stringing you along... who knows if your 'friend' even got a raise, maybe they just got an inflated title at a no name company. I would look for an opportunity elsewhere

The Jumbotron
Same, understand it now was a DeFi bridge which is more of "the floor is floor". Love crypto, bad rep currently.
I remember some of this on Windows when I was implementing a prototype DNS that could saturate a 10G link.

There were two components, Receive-Side Scaling and some special user-mode thing. RSS would load-balance 5-tuples onto different cores somehow, triggering interrupts on the right core for that stream. If you were careful with the driver stack you could have zero-copy all the way to user mode, where there was some magic that let you dispatch into user mode and read packet data from a ring buffer.

Gave me an appreciation for how a single machine is made of lots of pieces, and how frustrating it is to chase perf.
They will get destroyed in the election with that approach. Instead, I think they're looking for a way to declare victory and stop the masks and quarantines. In fact, I think I see signs of them pivoting to that already.
I read it in about 1 minute. But that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong necessarily! I have ADHD—which for me has a weird side benefit of recognizing information patterns I won’t find helpful and treating them as fields of grass rather than blades—and my brain filtered a lot of it out as “reductionist bullshit I hear incessantly”, so I mostly skimmed after I got the bent of the article.
Luckily for me, I'm really good at contributing absolutely nothing relevant or helpful to threads on both Reddit and HN, opting instead to post comments that help nobody. Glad to know I've been doing the right thing all along!
They do make several points farther down the page about Perl specifically, including:

"Perl is remarkably good for slicing, dicing, twisting, wringing, smoothing, summarizing and otherwise mangling text. Although the biological sciences do involve a good deal of numeric analysis now, most of the primary data is still text."

Which seems fair. Perl is very good at that sort of thing.
This is the "go to" excuse for academics who are as lazy as all get out and refuse to make more than the bare minimum of effort in their thinking and preparation of teaching.

"The students are too stupid and or lazy and we're not allowed to just fail them even though we have taught them next to nothing."

Note that the replication crisis involves researchers, most of whom did very, very well academically having worked hard and been clever, before taking that success on to becoming academics. That's kind of how it works.

So no "We can't fail people" is a non-starter here. It's totally bogus and needs to be treated with withering contempt along with any academic pushing such errant nonsense.
Every code base is legacy, in one dimension or another.
The most unfailing herald, companion, and follower of the awakening of a great people to work a beneficial change in opinion or institution, is poetry... Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle, and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.

This is nonsense.
> I drink that much and I don't want to get poisoned with water.

It depends on what you consider poisoning means. Water boarding, for instance, is water poisoning, like literally veterans water boarded by Japanese interrogators in WWII spent about a week in the hospital so their kidneys could recover from the effects of the water intake. More than 2L, true. I don't know what water you're drinking, but you should, maybe you can find your water treatment's facility's chemical analysis of the water they provide? And test the water you're drinking from the faucet, the pipes might be lead, and the water company wouldn't report that. Or if you don't want to bother with that, use your sense of taste, which is designed specifically for chemical analysis. Ask yourself as you drink water, "is this good water?".

They dont have freedom because science stole it.

They have more things to keep them entertained, more tv channels, millions if not billions of websites to choose from, so much content on streaming platforms like Youtube, you would need millions of lifetimes to watch everything.

You see, if you know enough about humans or any other animal you can manipulate them, like throwing a dog a stick to fetch, this means they dont have freedom not even freedom of thought.

Newspaper headline writers are wordsmiths, but now science can predict what words and phrases will hook different types of people to get them to read their output. Just look at the Trump relection & Bidens election, using adverts to identify floating voters ie those who have not made up their mind and then targeting them to manipulate them to vote a certain way.

I can usually pick out the next US president from a year before the elections, done this Bush.

Its like right now, people give out data which when datamined can be used to track and identify people across multiple websites, work out your working patterns, holiday preferences and then from there you can be targeted remotely or in the flesh.

We get little nuggets of information released which give us clues as to the level of surveillance and scope.
One example.

When you look at the legislation that exists and does not exist, you can identify the area's where state criminality can occur, but the official secrets which released by countries annually will always hold back some stuff as national security. This can include things like techniques still valid for use today, ie stuff thats been used for hundreds of years and stuff that is fairly recent but still in use today.

When you look at the legislation that exists, like people haved said we are a product of google, we are also a product of the state.
How is "Google isn't allowed to scrap site to power their site for free" the worst option. Google can write a few checks to access the data. They have enough money.
I think you’re being overly dramatic.

There have been dozens of cVDPV outbreaks that have been successfully contained in countries around the world. We know how to do it even with our existing vaccines. These outbreaks don’t just come and go at random, they happen in places with inadequate vaccination and are eliminated using a proven playbook.

New vaccines will make the process smoother and faster, but we’re certainly not at a dead end without them.

Human transactions can 'easily' be undone in a court of law, and yet are still so painful to undo as to necessitate a trusted escrow agent in many of them.

This is making it so there is no "undo", and no escrow agent. There's value, for those looking to take advantage of others.
The two groups decided to adopt a common data exchange format known as CAF (an acronym whose exact meaning was forgotten during the course of the meeting).

That line tickled my funny bone.

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.

Insurance is just drowning in data and entry level claims processors have to interact with various databases all day long. Every time they update the software, they introduce new glitches.

I have a certificate in GIS, which involves some exposure to how databases work. So I was apparently more talented than average at parsing exactly what went wrong and how to get around weird new glitches.

Not really the best use for such spiffy training as I was not appreciated and would have been making vastly better money had I ever managed to get a job in GIS instead of insurance.
I think the key thing to me here is that these notes are designed to be clicked through without losing track of where you were, and keep the context of why you're reading this current note. The stack concept they have here is really great

There is such a thing as the court of public opinion, and legal progress is made by talking about debilitating legal crap.
I made a website for piracy when I was a kid and did the exact same thing; was definitely ironic for people to pay for something to avoid paying.

But I think it always has been and will continue to be more of a UX problem than a "wanting stuff for completely free" problem.

Case in point, a couple hours ago I tried to stream the Super Bowl from the official NFL website, but failed multiple times to finish their checkout process (which was only $0.99, well below what I would've been willing to pay), so instead I... went elsewhere.
My style is it just works — as in they discover what I need based on the Gemfile.
> I will recommend the book The truth about addiction and recovery if you want to better understand what happened. It suggests that giving people meaningful work and a means to succeed is a viable means of treatment for addiction.

I really appreciate you sharing this. As you can guess, I stumbled into this.

> I will note that I know a fair amount about homelessness and I think the angle that "homeless people are all junkies and crazies" is way over hyped.

Would you be able to share the geographic location for the homeless you studied?

What was the segment and proportion of actual junkies to crazies to on-bad-luck-but-can-be-helped you noticed?

What I have noticed in SF and NYC is a certain number of them are indeed mentally unstable. The reason why I am yet to expand beyond a second person is because I was stabbed by a schizophrenic who was convinced I was the Jonah who had been tormenting him in his sleep for years. The police have asked me to work thorough certain agencies and NGOs since then. Unfortunately it's impossible to make any progress through them as far as having them work on my farm is concerned. They only want donations and cannot work with my farm idea.
Unicorns built on top of Chrome, Gmail, Shopify
You’re thinking of Jim Kent and GigAssembler.
Google was a from-scratch rewrite of search engines. Facebook was a from-scratch rewrite of MySpace. Slack was a from-scratch rewrite of IRC. Chrome was a from-scratch rewrite of IE. The list goes on and on and on.

Any of the previous incarnations of those ideas could have iterated into success, but it turns out it was easier to spin up a new product (even a completely new team / company / culture) with a clearer focus / path to improvement / culture than it was to turn around a barnacle-laden ship. Sometimes a rewrite / rethink is the best way forward.
Nope. Because your IP address is not one of Google's. This trick worked years ago but not today.
Yes, short and simple is half of why I favor MIT.

The other half is that it is also a very widespread and thus well-understood license that I am not afraid to use.
> I'm very confused by this because I'm arguing the exact opposite: that people in tech romanticize these "simple" trades of the people.

I live in a climate where normal (I.e. not extreme) temp fluctuates between -25C and +30C. You can add 5-10C to either end for the above/below average days. There is absolutely nothing romantic or glamorous about working outside in those temps. This “romanticism” you speak of, while very real, often comes from a place of ignorance and inexperience. I’ve done enough physical labour in my time in reasonable weather than I see no reason for me ever want to make a career out of it. Similar goes for interior work, I’ve done the “good” and “mediocre” jobs as DIY enough to know I would not want to do it for a living.
No, it's not. We are machines, we can be fixed. Just a matter of when, not if.
It says right in the article it applies to HN.
I would second the decision to use ggplot2 / dplyr, and would also add data.table to the mix. That combination has been invaluable for me, allowing me to visualize all of my structured data.
That's fair, but on the other hand, those aren't going anywhere for decades yet at least, and it's been a long time since Perl was much of anything to the industry at large beyond a punchline. We can let it have a moment in the sun.
I'm not sure about nginx, but the traditional way to share a listen port is to listen on the port, and then fork. This shares the socket with the child, and if you fork several workers, they can all accept on that socket, and the OS will figure out which one wins (which may or may not be round robin). You can select/kqueue/epoll/whatever if you prefer, as well.
> Only later did things like Xen, KVM, QubesOS, etc. "rediscover" this architecture

IBM invented hypervisors in the 1960s, and IBM mainframes have seen continual production use of hypervisors ever since then. IBM's mainframe hypervisors had a massive impact on the computer science research community – basically all academic hypervisor research can be historically traced to that initial work inside IBM – and it was that research which the initial developers of systems such as Xen and KVM drew upon.

By contrast, Windows/386 and its successors (Win3.x 386 Enhanced Mode, and Win95/98/Me's VMM kernel) were essentially a historical dead-end. They weren't doing anything which hadn't already been done on other platforms a decade or more earlier. Systems on other platforms were doing far more advanced virtualisation at the same time. They didn't really contribute any significant ideas to future systems, or to academic research into hypervisor technology.

If Xen/KVM/QubesOS/etc started by "rediscovering" anything, it was by "rediscovering" IBM VM, not by "rediscovering" Windows/386.
It's not any different. It actually can access fewer sites, since some sites have disabled it, presumably by paying the owner? The only advantage of 12ft.io is that you have a shareable link for friends, and that it can be used on mobile.

>I feel that this is a rather poor question, and comes off as a little immature and naive.

Well forgiveness please that not everyone is a technology expert who knows exactly how to phrase questions professionally. Instead of belittling someone who lacks the domain knowledge you claim to, why not politely answer them in good faith if you have something to say. A sadly common thing on this site, privileged people with a bit of a superiority complex quick to snarky responses and criticisms on honest questions and show & tells.
It even says so:

"Retirement End Year - Time to get real grim here… this is when you’re expecting to not need your retirement fund anymore. Put in a different way, it is when you expect to die. There are a number of factors that play into this, but I would suggest looking at the Social Security Administrations chart here. As of the date that I wrote this post, I am a 39 year old female, and that chart tells me that on average I can expect to live 43.41 more years. So, I personally would set the Retirement End Year to 2072 (2021 + 43.41 = 2062.41 + 10 years of padding just to be sure)." -- https://www.cfiresim.com/tutorials/

If it's "regulated" what good is it? It seems imminent that both the US and China will have highly regulated digital currency soon so that they can retain control and track citizens' cashflow. I think at that point crypto with the possible exception of bitcoin as a sort of "digital gold" will go into a death spiral. Certainly blockchain might survive though.
> The Caduceus became a symbol of alchemy and pharmacy in medieval Europe. Its first appearance as a medical symbol can be traced back to 1st−4th century CE in Oculists’ stamps that were found mostly in Celtic areas, such as Gaul, Germany and Britain, which had an engraving of the name of the physician, the name of the special medicine or medical formula and the disease for which the medicine was to be used [1]

What would be a good search term to dive into "work directly at IP level and not use TCP or UDP at all"? Sounds interesting but not sure how to get there from just a basic familiarly with sockets.
It spread first as windows worm that exploited several 0-days. If the host didn't have the Siemens PLC device drivers with a configuration that matched the exact configuration of what they were expecting for the centrifuges, they payload was dormant and it just replicated. Only if it matched would it patch the PLC's programming upon re-connection to fake reporting that the speed was normal while it was actually spinning out of control.

Yes, If you are not a great programmer, become a great programmer.

you need to practice (a lot) both inside and outside of your job. Read books about programming (not about specific tech) and make sure that you understand what is written, and than try to apply the patterns in your regular work.

Forget about promotion. A promotion is some external reward that is given for reasons outside of your control.
If this refers to the custom horn sounds, seems like a poor choice to allow users to change the default horn sound to a fart. I don't disagree with recall ruling. BTW this recall should be able to addressed with an OTA update.
> when he went to stake his NFT, they asked for an approval for spending aETH from his wallet. Approvals such as this are normal when interacting with smart contracts, since the contract has to be "delegated" responsibility over the tokens in order to move them. However, what wasn't normal is that the approval was actually for Aave ETH.

I'm a reasonably technical dude (senior data engineer at GAMMA/FAANG/whatever we're deciding to use nowadays), yet I don't have a damn clue what this means. And that's not an indictment of your communication. How on earth could I expect my wife, my brother, my parents, my kids, any of my friends, etc., to understand this?

On the other hand, all these people understand the concepts of bank accounts, credit cards, fiat currency, etc.

I'm open to learning more and having my views changed, but I'm so far convinced that there's absolutely nothing about crypto that is a simple, reliable, demonstrably real solution to a problem that isn't already handled by our current financial instruments.

I would love to know how much potential energy that could manifest in negative physical behaviors in the future is currently sitting idle in the minds of people, waiting to be triggered by some event. I would say that the trucker convoys in Canada are one example of this, as was the election of Donald Trump.
"Percy Shelley, a famous poet from the Romantic Era, was the first to advocate for peaceful protests and he inspired Gandhi to adopt non-violent resistance. Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violent resistance influenced Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. They had all followed Shelley’s philosophy and it helped create a new world.

When Gandhi read Shelley’s poem, “The Masque of Anarchy” he was instantly captivated by its message for freedom through peace. It is known that Gandhi would often quote various passages from the poem to vast audiences during the campaign for India’s independence."

>He said this which shows he doesn't care for women having the right to vote.

I think you are adding a statement to the quote that isn't there. He didn't say that women shouldn't be able to vote. He said the chance of a libertarian government died when they got the vote.

>He funds anti-abortion, anti-birth control, anti-gay politicians regularly.

Seems like you think that anyone who has other political priorities is actively against these things. I don't think that Theil is anti-gay ect, he is just willing to compromise on those values.

Frequently movie trailers are very disingenuous. They include scenes not in movies. They emphasize minor scenes cut to present a different view of the movie to different audiences, often to the point of completely misleading at least one population as to what the movie is about.
