In a simple 100 mbps network where I needed good synchronization, I used the RXC pin of the MII bus as input to a PLL+VCXO and explicitly configured the PHYs in the link to be master-->slave in the desired clock distribution direction. PTP provided phase. Across a small network (a couple switch layers) I was seeing about ~20 ns of time uncertainty. Clocks were locked within about 2 ppb. Worked well enough for my needs.

In hardware that's actually designed to do this, I think it's called "synchronous ethernet" but you can totally duct tape it into pedestrian hardware the way I did.
> Does SpaceX collaborate at all with the European Space Agency? Still, I do not understand this thirst at seeing a private company monopolising space travel. It's that old "this is good for Bitcoin" meme all over again.

You misunderstand. The "thirst" is for a private company making space travel cheaper than ever before. Also before SpaceX came along the US launch industry was basically in the position of the current European space industry. A single old decrepit launch company with overpriced rockets.
No. On the train ride home I sleep, because without it I am a literal zombie and one could make the argument that I am a worse parent.

As is typical, another drive-by HN commenter will now say I should plan my day better, but without knowing my day, how can one judge?
How long would it take for the sync operation with communication latency? How reliable is the method (how robust)?
I question the assumption that Tyler made these systems intentionally difficult to use. I may or may not have been previously employed by Tyler (not working on Odyssey or anything adjacent to it) and can tell you that a majority of the software that they run is pretty much a stitched together amalgam of ancient, barely maintained systems that they got through acquisitions of other companies. Seriously, go look at how many acquisitions Tyler goes through in a year.

Most of these systems were probably made when you were still using dial-up. I'd guess that a majority of them aren't even supposed to be used through the web but through proprietary desktop software. Any website that you can access the data through was slapped on top of what was already there. It's kind of a miracle that you can get at this data at all without having to write a FOIA request and wait weeks for it to be mailed to you.

Another thing to keep in mind is that while Tyler deals with a lot of data that's "public" (in that it's paid for by tax dollars) the main customer for most of their software is not the public itself, but the government employees that use it. They know that this is a problem and I'd like to say that they're working on making it easier to access, but I don't know for sure since the company is absolutely MASSIVE. Way bigger than you'd ever imagine.

Not trying to defend the fact that this data was hard to get at, just hoping to maybe give some context. Data should be free and easily accessible to all.
> Americans seem to want and even feel they're owed that kind of false sincerity/kindness from "low skill" workers they interact with

This is true to a sometimes weird degree, but...

> there's no indication that the same business that owns the bar is the same business that owns the building

A business is going to get judged on its physical space regardless of ownership or fairness.

There's a bar in Amsterdam with a rather unique tap collection and a remarkably annoying location, but every time I mentioned it to one of my friends there neither of those things would come up - it was always some variation of "oh isn't that the one where you have to walk up a sketchy spiral staircase to use the toilet?"
This is a strawman. SpaceX is not worried about going bankrupt nor is Elon Musk.
I don't doubt a lot of people think the Western forces would be invulnerable to Russian fire and suggest even setting up a no-fly zone (i.e. engaging Russian military vessels). I don't see any rational basis for this belief though. Even Ukraine itself has not declared a war with Russia, what Western country would, in your opinion?
I'd pitch my book/blog: https://letterstoanewdeveloper.com/ to you. It's about all the soft skills I wish I'd known when I was younger. :)

> I'm wondering if there isn't any good book to cover instead basic patterns from functional programming, stuff you see regularly in languages like javascript and python.

I liked Eloquent Javascript. It's JS specific of course, but has a chapter on higher order functions: https://eloquentjavascript.net/05_higher_order.html plus more.
> If you are napping during the day, it's probable that you didn't sleep well or enough the night before.

This is a very parochial look at things. There are plenty of cultures that value an afternoon nap, and it is unrelated to lack of sleep the night before.
Out of interest - do you see a way for a competitor to come and eat their lunch in any areas?
> hard to remember for the user

If the user has to remember any password aside from a single unique password used in only one place, they’re doing passwords horrendously wrong.

We have had at least twenty years of password managers by now (KeePass), a good ten of them with browser integrations of various degrees of effectiveness, and almost as long with some form of mobile phone support.

At this point, not using a password manager to save totally-random passwords that don’t need remembering is no different than not using a seatbelt. It’s stupidity and ignorance in action.
Agreed it's not exclusive to New Age beliefs, though my point wasn't exactly about the specific delusions ("I can cure anything with this diluted tincture of petals") but about the completely irrational standards of proof.

They cannot find a way to trust the opinion of professionals ("they are lying", "they pay them to say so", "the evidence is faked", "they want to control us", "this has toxic stuff they won't tell you about") but if the nice woman at the grocery store tells them her niece went to a healer who has a "holistic" method of curing migrane/the flu/covid/cancer then suddenly it's "it must work, don't be narrow minded!".

I would understand if they were always mistrustful of everything: the government, big pharma, the woman at the grocery store, anecdotes from coworkers. But no, their mistrust is weirdly selective.
Putting "Not yet, but coming soon:" under the "What works" heading instead of the "What doesn’t" is dishonest.
This is indeed a good point. Malicious actors can show you one script in a browser, then serve a more malicious script with curl. I do not understand why Asahi decided they needed a tiny domain just to serve a download script. It means users have to trust more domains with weird characters (was that A L X . S H or A I X . S H ? Oops).
It's a big ball of wax with more details than I'll ever memorize, but I know for a fact that for the last 20 years or more X11 GLX has had "indirect contexts" where the application feeds the OpenGL requests over the display socket and the server renders them (possibly) hardware-accelerated. "direct rendering" is where the X11 client negotiates with the X server to make a direct connection from the application to /dev/whatever to talk directly to the kernel driver of the graphics card to do rendering that bypasses the X server.

The whole thing with Wayland is just a new generation of coders saying "hey all this pile of new apis on top of old apis on top of older apis spanning back 40 years designed for hardware that no longer exists is insane. We need to start over." They aren't wrong, but they also haven't reached feature parity with the old stuff yet, because doing hardware accelerated 3D graphics over a pipe to a remote host was a pretty amazing feat of technology.

Edit: to be a little more specific, Silicon Graphics company's whole business was accelerated graphics, and they were in business since 1982, and invented most of X11, or at least its extensions.
My Tesla definitely lost range in the cold, too. I don't think it's just that Chevy (LG, you mean) doesn't know how to make a good battery pack.
20 years of expected propellant, but other critical parts that could fail before that time.

> I wonder how "converted" HN-ers got where they are. If you're here and changed your mind regarding remote work since the pandemic started, I'd like to hear why; what, other than the obvious pathogen, has caused your change of heart?

The pandemic forced me to build a home office, of sorts. I don't actually have an "office", per se, as real estate prices are bananas. I have a corner in the living room. But my corner has: 1. a window 2. a desk that's about 2× bigger than what my employer would provide 3. more space than what my employer would provide 4. is often, but not always, quiet

Also got a nice chair, which improved the WFH situation greatly. Need a second monitor, at some point.

But also my company keeps thinking not of a full return-to-office, but "oh, maybe like 1 day a week with hotdesking" and … no? I don't particularly want to haul things like my keyboard back and forth, & the company laptop is a MBP, so a. it's keyboard induces RSI and b. it's got those butterfly switches that fail easily, and mine have failed.

I do miss my commute, when my commute was a bike ride.

Unlike the article's survey, I think people absolutely can be convinced to go into the office in exchange for a salary increase. If the survey is getting "no", well, you're just not offering enough money. But, they never do.
I have found measuring in typical American neighborhoods that PM2.5 is raised the most when people burn wood for recreation or heat in the evening. It is much higher in the evening with a few neighborhood fire pits than during rush hour with a few diesel vehicles around.

This is also when residents have asthma symptoms too. To be fair they are more likely to be home.

So it is not cut and dry but if possible I would love to get rid of vehicle emissions as some particulate is too fine to measure.

Please don't spread this kind of propaganda. This is not "Russia's perspective". The only perspective that matters is Putin's and whatever Putin says is gospel. His concern about Ukraine in his own words is it having been taking over by a "nazi-led junta" and other such nonsense. Nazis is the rallying call for the public, not NATO.

Also, there are no NATO planes in Ukraine, nor are there NATO drones. There are Turkish Drones, but the only one using those are Turkey's allies, not NATO.

Also Russia forced the west's hand here. Russia was slowly invading and taking territory from Ukraine. First in Crimea, then in the Donbass so US and others started providing them with small amounts of aid. Then Russia suddenly invaded again forcing the west's hand against a Hitler-like drumbeat that Putin has caused in Russia.
> So your alternative of the fraud insurance we currently have is to just end fraud?

I left that little blurb about reducing fraud at the end of that post because I was trying to anticipate the (shallow) counter-argument: "what's the alternative"? "End"ing fraud, by the way, would be a great alternative to the implicit insurance premium we pay if it was at all viable.

To give you some examples of what "more effort in to the prevention of theft/fraud" looks like cf: https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R43925.pdf

Order matters, and will create bias or cognitive prioritization, regardless of whether something is a bullet point.

Take the famous Napoleanic map - top left Carrie’s similar weight as the first bullet item. It may not be linear (1d) since it’s 2D, but the same problems exist: the first items we are exposed to will create a stronger reaction due to an artifact of arrangement rather than importance.

It does seem they severely underestimate the interest in self-hosting. Lack of interest at Mozilla due to perceived lack of interest in the community. If more people engage and raise these issues on GH and Matrix, I think things can start to change.

#fxa is almost a ghost town as of now. The few GH issues relating to this are not getting any interactions.

We can't expect them to prioritize something nobody's asking for or using. I think there're more of us than they realize.
> Credit cards companies charge businesses that allow consumers to use them a fee. Business often pass this fee on to the consumer, sometimes even explicitly. For example gas stations usually publish separate prices for gas w/ or w/o credit card. That fee is the main revenue source for the credit card company, and fraud reimbursement is one of their expenses. Expenses go up? Fees go up. In this way businesses (and less directly you) are paying an insurance premium on top of the credit card company's operating costs and profit margin.

With bitcoin you have both: high fees and no fraud protection.

> Credit card companies most likely write fraud reimbursement off when filing taxes. So taxes that they would otherwise pay vanish. If the taxing entity wants a minimum tax revenue, that means increased rates elsewhere (and quite possibly for individuals).

So what you saying this is better, because when fraud happens you (an individual) can't deduct it from your taxes?

I think the arguments are very weak, much stronger would be that government can't supposedly stop you from paying or receiving payments, but they still can do it in other ways (like prevent converting the money or physically get you).

I think though that (at least for me) ability to reverse charge to stop fraud is more valuable than the above.
and by that logic all poor countries with rampant corruption should have legal protection if they attack Switzerland or any tax havens which do not share data. Off course, not possible in reality due to difference in the countries' powers. Ukraine has galvanized the Western world unlike any other event prior to it, however it is mostly because it is immediate, has visual impact and the impacted are similar in appearances.
Not convinced. I think we are still in a rather early phase of the hype cycle where people explore possible uses of the technology. What makes it difficult to think about "crypto" is a certain disillusionment around Bitcoin and similar efforts and the fact that people think the ideology behind Bitcoin etc. should also apply to all other possible uses. But they are confusing crypto in general with a certain application.
The thesis seems to be we're back in a bipolar world, since China will still have to transact in dollars until oil producing countries want to be paid in yuan. (And as the article mentions, for all this crisis has shaken faith in the dollar, it still is far more stable and rule-of-law bound than the yuan.)

We're definitely out of the post Cold War unipolar world, for sure, but I think a multi-polar world is still probable. Especially as the USA pulls back, as we've been doing for decades.
No, I'm not insane, all things being equal of course I would take the closer job :)

A co-working space was considered (and is still being considered), though we find our current strategy of 4 days wfh and one in-office day to be a good mix. Additional considerations involve the geographic make-up of our staff. This context, of course, wasn't in my original reply up above.

My main point in my previous reply was to provide a counterpoint to the argument that a commute is completely wasted time, in specific situations, it can be very useful, and not wasted at all.

> It's honestly quite scary how I'm in the top 2% of income earners in my generation and yet I could barely afford to buy a small place in a semi-desirable area.

Top 5% puts you at over $300K/year. Top 2% is much higher.

Even a top 5% person can easily afford a house in any semi-desirable city. LA, Bay Area are not semi-desirable. They are highly desirable.
The US had just barely enough checks and balances, yes. I don't like our odds at surviving the next similar test
IF you enter. There is the choice that is lacking is this case. Without the choice there is no contract, just the force.

And if it were consensus you wouldnt have to force it.

Both "contract" and "consensus" are nice frames for forcing people to do what you think is right. At least be honest about it.
"Price, as determined by a third party, is going to be BS. There is a reason we use markets for price determination. They’re not perfect but markets are the most efficient mechanism we have."

Yeah, but it's relatively even-handed BS if you're being given the option to sell, not being forced. If you're getting the same deal the investors and/or founders are getting, then you're not being cheated.

As for "the early employees might sell earlier", well... said early employees have a lot of info about what's going on. The risk is what it is. If you can "only sell your shares at IPO when there has been more than 1000x return since seed stage" the modal outcome ends up being "you can never sell your shares". This allows the employee to trade the lottery ticket in the future for some decent money now, and that's broadly sensible. But even more than that, it allows employees to diversify by having a bit of both. I've had cases where I'd appreciate that.

There's an entire class of problems where you need to synchronize application state between data centers. For that, if two conflicting requests show up in different data centers at the ~same time, different servers need to agree on which one came first, and for that they need to be on as close to the same time as possible. Even being off by milliseconds doesn't cut it when request volume is high.
Is there any public papers about this topic? For high precision clock sync for the datacenter.

In regards to acceleration pretty much all major Linux desktop environments have hardware accelerated compositing these days regardless if X11 or Wayland is being used.

In regards to Wayland landing or not it has become the default for Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, RHEL, and many others but a lot of apps still rely on the XWayland compatibility layer to run. The Asahi Desktop install option currently defaults to an X11 Plasma session, I assume for simplicity at this stage, but Wayland works fine as well. Even if you try a desktop environment that requires accelerated rendering and has no native software fallback it'll work via a software rasterizer like LLVMpipe until real GPU acceleration arrives.
There was a case where a guy committed a multi million $ fraud in some Indian state and safely ran after to BC. The BC police did not cooperate in investigation or so I heard.
