This is why teams should run people game days to test their resiliency to organizational outages. Unavailability: force team members to completely disconnect for a day. Consistency: if a team member ask a question about a process that should be documented in a runbook/TSG, instruct them to sometimes answer it incorrectly. Latency: delay responses to email/IM questions about live-site processes by 24 hours.

Are you sure on that first statement? I always thought it was akin to 'X' in that it simplified the connection based on an understanding of the windowing system. I guess I could have just made that up though.
It's hardly just my opinion, there's a lot of opinion out there on the web that agrees with me. It's very hard to see how this definition on the OSI site -

"Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge"

Fits licenses like BSD/MIT license which do not require source access to be provided.

And the FSF say this -

"To decide whether a specific software license qualifies as a free software license, we judge it based on these criteria to determine whether it fits their spirit as well as the precise words"

So they give themselves pretty loose rules for inclusion there. I would say that the BSD license, with its very few restrictions, is definitely open source and its spirit is all about freedom. But I really don't see that it supports the four freedoms, specifically freedom 2 (from the FSF site here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) -

"The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this."
Okay auto-moderation seems to be working surprisingly well! Related commit: https://github.com/quackduck/devzat/commit/866c33a7d24b43f26...
The thing about channels is, while they might be slow for tight inner loop type compute code, it lets you scale across all the cores very linearly. And, given a channel to flow the work thru, you can manage the number of workers at each stage however you like - growing with more load, dropping work with more load, back pressure with more load. All concisely and explicitly. And a lot of network server things are classic producer/consumer things, so it’s great to have a solution for that where you get concurrency without any thread worries.
Just as a programming language must be turing-complete to be worthwhile, a new hardware must be doom-complete to be useful.

Hopefully, I will get to use this as a source for validating more opinionated system dynamics and agent based models. Community driven projects are going to have a more linear growth curve, but I'm excited to see where it goes and contribute. There's a big discoverability issue in science that causes our decisions to be less informed, but this is obviously a massive issue to tackle. Best of luck!

I'm a non profit guy and love it. I don't get so worked up about the mission, I've been doing this sort of thing in various roles for years and am pretty jaded, but the work is magnificent.

I'm a pretty junior, inexperienced dev, having retrained a few years back, but I get to play with all the things. Stuff I wouldn't be let near at a large Corp. I find my work very diverse, engaging, and as the go to guy for most things technology, I get a tonne of respect.

I guess it depends where you live and what your commitments are, but a six figure salary is still huge for most people.

If you can cope with the pay cut, why not take the plunge? Worst case scenario, it doesn't pan out: you've still got a FAANG on your CV, and it's a completely acceptable narrative when looking somewhere big again to say you wanted to do something meaningful for a while.
Jeesh. Why can't they be normal and perform algorithmic whiteboard interviews which are an obvious proxy for general IQ capacity with a thin facade of CS on top.
IQ tests aren't illegal by themselves, but it's up to the employer to show that IQ is an important part of the job. E.g, leetcode tests in FAANG interviews are defacto IQ tests since interviewers are told to evaluate the candidate for "general cognitive ability" when asking leetcode questions, but they are still used for FAANG interviews because the companies realized that they correlate to job performance. I don't know of any formal MBTI studies related to engineers, but my anecdotal data suggests that xNTx MBTIs are disproportionately present in SV. So there might be a useful reason to ask about MBTI in an interview, but it would be bad to decline a candidate based on their MBTI unless there was hard data suggesting it affected job performance.

Yes, they did in fact deliver the star links. I was talking about the anti-jamming/anti-detecting firmware. Given that various militaries have thrown billions upon billions on radar/comms jamming and detecting, it seems like it's probably a hard problem.
Telefission
In the spirit of the old saying, "the two happiest days of a boat owner's life are the day they buy a boat, and the day they sell it."

The best advice I got starting out was, "be indispensable."

The best advice I got four years later was, "don't be indispensable."

In a growing company, the indispensable people may find themselves being left holding the bag while new initiatives are undertaken. I very quickly learned the meaning of 'working your way out of a job' after the first time this happened to me.

I'm sure there's some min-max game I'm not playing with regards to how easy I am to lay off, but once I learned there are worse fates that being laid off, I stopped looking for them. Being "stuck" with responsibilities is unpleasant when things are going well, but it's miserable when things are going badly. If you aren't the one who got laid off, then someone you used to trade off with doing onerous tasks certainly was, and now you're stuck doing it every single time.

If given the choice between "my company would be just fine without me" and "everything would fall apart if I didn't show up to work," the latter feels very good for a brief period when you're young, until the weight of that responsibility sinks in. "My company would be just fine without me," can mean "my work here is done," and you can ride off into the sunset with a clear conscience.
Of course, those 12 people could also expect to receive the same kind of 'sanction' that they just witnessed. And since their employer has access to all their personal communications while in the car, the company has access to a wealth of the most sensitive personal info that's almost trivial to abuse, if in fact retaliatory murder WAS considered to be overkill.

That might be enough to dissuade them from whistleblowing. (That and the fact that whistleblowing is nearly always a great way to commit professional suicide in this country.)
Several big hedge funds require candidates to take the Wonderlic test ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderlic_test ) which is essentially an IQ type test (it strongly correlates with “G”). Didn’t seem to be an issue though since pretty much any candidate that got to that stage was fairly book smart and could easily get a good enough score.

Humans are adaptable. A -permanent- hour change would surely be less harmful than changing said hours twice a year.
Taking a large pay reduction also means that you will drop tax bracket(s), which slightly improves your take home pay. You really need to take stock of your spending. If you don't have much by way of savings, then it would indicate that you are spending most of what you earn. So how are you going to live on less than half the income? You should draw up a realistic budget ahead of time. Once you make the jump, it might be difficult to get back to your earlier higher income.

So you want average person to pay for every interaction they have with any given site. While leaving all the "bad stuff" of web2 on some random enthusiast to fix by "making their own site".

And that won't even fix things like Youtube hiding dislikes or Facebook reading your messages. Even if your TotalyFreeYoutubeWithNoAds.com delivers on what it advertises you still need to interact with Youtube's APIs and if those don't deliver out dislikes then there is nothing you can do about it apart from creating your own parallel database with dislikes, but then you can only show the ones that come from your instance of Youtube and not ones that come from actual Youtube or from FreeYoutubeNoAds.com.

I haven't yet seen a single reason why normal consumer would use web3 over web2. Why would I pay for the privilege of responding to you or for downvoting bad ideas? Only response is "magically overnight all web2 websites transfer over to web3", but you have to be really out of touch with reality if you think that will happen in the first place and if it happens actual enthusiast won't create replacements for free on web2.

Web3 is literally just another cryptobro scam like NFTs and it is sad that anyone falls for them.

Uh, that’s a pretty weird thing to say matter of fact without any further discussion.

So, if I'm understanding you correctly, everyone should be wary of advice such as "don't use service accounts with root permissions", "segment your network", and "regularly scan your assets for vulnerabilities" because of a clandestine program dating back to 2006 which was designed to weaken an encryption standard?

Should all my service accounts run as root because NSA thinks that's a bad idea?
For me this was an interesting article, as I suffer from migraine, perhaps once a month. But for me it's not as bad as the migraine of the author. For example I don't experience vomiting.

My migraine might have a genetic cause as well, I know my mother suffered from migraine attacks as well. I hope our daughter won't inherit the migraine for me, I wonder if by some age we can know. When I was young I often experienced headaches, I don't believe at the time it was migraine, but perhaps it was.

I do know most of the time my migraines are triggered by stress. Which in my case is often work-related stress. As such, I do hope at some point to become fully self-reliant (maybe live from investments and just work on my hobby projects), which would pretty much eliminate all stress in my life.

With that said though, my girlfriend told me here in Thailand, in the city of Pattaya, is a masseur who apparently removed migraines for several people, so it's something I should try. Also, in Chiang Mai there's a doctor practicing Chinese medicine for which some people have claimed he cured migraines as well. But he uses some kind of acupuncture in the head from what I understand and it does cause I little bit of bleeding. To me this sounds kinda risky, so I haven't bothered yet.

Then there's some fora on internet in which people have claimed psychedelic mushrooms (low doses) can reduce or even cure migraines, but might not work for everyone. Again, might be a nice option to try if you can legally buy psychedelic mushrooms in your country.
Heh. My son is now in college so it'll probably be at least a good 10 to 20 years or so before I need to teach programming to a pre-teen again, and by then I truly hope we've worked some more things out.
So, what's the argument here exactly? Many of those countries were created by colonial powers without regard for culture or any other variation among the people. Perhaps I wasn't lucky enough to benefit from the enlightenment that the British Empire has bestowed upon you.

On the other hand, is your idea of "different" just another way to dismiss or categorize people? I don't know. What I do know is that, while certain variations in physical characteristics exist (and the predominance of those may vary geographically), I am able to tell the difference between a person from Sub-Saharan Africa, for example, and North Africa. China and Europe and India.

I do get the underlying idea, though. I just think it's naive.
Ford disabled the MyFordMobile app in Fusion Energi and C-Max Energi vehicles because they were using old 3G modems as late as 2021 and AT&T decommed 3G in February. They had customers go into dealers to replace the modem at their own cost. MyFordMobile was a subscription-based app, though some owners had very long trial periods.

"...a 1971 Supreme Court ruling that decreed IQ tests and other tests unrelated to the job to violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964..."

Plenty of programming screens and interviews involve all sorts of brain puzzlers that are never used in actual programming. Does that mean they are racist too??

An IQ test would be inappropriate for an occupation that does not involve heavy analytical skills, but if that VC firm posting was for some VC analyst and not a janitor, then I don't see any problems with trying to hire workers with high IQs as long as they feel that would be the best for their organization.

Seems to me that preventing IQ tests from being used as a criteria for positions requiring heavy analytical work is discrimination against individuals who can do well on IQ tests.

It disgusts me to see anybody "apologize" for this. It's like as soon as they get accused of being "un-inclusive" they start "apologizing" before some imaginary mob bursts in and hurts their social media rankings. This is so spineless.

Oh, fire all the heroes, I have worked at one of those places. The people in the know were let go, as some kind of pre-emptive strike of just that nature. Heaven forfend that anyone but the organization have leverage. This was managed before I had a chance to get a Chesterson's Fence view of the processes.

The result was not good: deciphering the how of things was bad enough, but the why, the contexts of the decisions was utterly gone. Nobody could say why things were done, and so it was either the old joke about the five monkeys or the Second System Effect. Glorious chaos, the confidence of our clients eroded, terror at making changes that might affect the way things had been, dread of not making changes to cope with extant problems.

Thanks, but I'll take the M.A.D. that results from the threat of the nuclear option over someone getting to yank out my heartplug ala Lynch's Dune.
Lots of tiny projects get posted here and get lots of positive attention. It seems mostly to depend on the audience who looks and the time of day when it becomes widely visible. HN itself welcomes posting projects, “show” being a first class part of the site (which if I’m not mistaken this was originally a “show” post). Maybe just show your lack of interest by looking at the next thing?

> And you're right, of course, that if you're paying $0.05/GB for outbound bandwidth and using 2-3 TB/month, you're using $1200-$1800 of bandwidth per year. So $3500 isn't entirely beyond belief.

This is extremely expensive compared to cloudflare stream. They price it by viewing time instead of by counting bandwidth and quotes ~$500 to serve 72,000 minutes of viewing time.

Or if you're on budget you can convert your video to HLS with ffmpeg and host it on your own server from providers with cheap bandwidth like hetzner or ovh to save on cdn cost.

Oh yes, I'm familiar with the US Census Bureau's definition of "races". They themselves admit that it is a US-specific cultural construct: "The racial categories included in the census questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country and not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically. In addition, it is recognized that the categories of the race item include racial and national origin or sociocultural groups." [0]

And yet many Americans seem to treat it, not as a cultural construct specific to their own country, but rather as some sort of objective universal fact. The idea of "race" in itself is not specific to the US, of course – but the US seems to be one of the few countries in which it has been elevated into a government-mandated formal categorisation scheme, as opposed to a vague and ambiguous informal concept.

> All of Eurasia is White, including the Middle East and India

Not India. People from "the Indian subcontinent" are classified as "Asian" not "White", with India and Pakistan explicitly called out as "Asian". I believe, that as far as the US government is concerned, the boundary between "White" and "Asian" runs along the Iran-Pakistan and Afghanistan-Pakistan border. So, a Pashtun is "White" if they come from Afghanistan, but "Asian" if they come from Pakistan? It seems utterly ludicrous – and yet, so many Americans seem unable to see just how ludicrous it is.

> I imagine this is policy driven but haven’t speculated much. It’s an oddity that seems to percolate culturally as well.

I don't think it can be explained simply as "policy-driven" or "culture-driven", I think there is a circular feedback loop "culture -> politics -> policy -> culture".
