I like your message of avoiding MVP bloat. It’s an important one for sure.

In your blog examples you showcase both true positives and true negatives (services that succeeded and failed respectively). It would be especially interesting to also show cases of good mvps that failed and bad ones that ultimately succeeded.

Of course “execution is key”, but it would still give some valuable insights into your methodology.
USGlobal Airways: The 32-Year-Old Carrier That's Never Operated a Flight
"A generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the acid culture: The desperate assumption that somebody - or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel."

I'd rather take my chances with the acid culture than with the alcohol culture.

At least there's potential for profound positive healing, empathy for others, and deep contact with the natural world and a transcendent reality.

With alcohol (which Thompson himself seriously abused) the most you get is a bit of social lubrication and maybe a short-lived forgetting of your problems (which, unlike psychedelics, alcohol does not help to come to terms with), while the risks of alcohol are just as great.

I'd also argue that there's a risk to remaining psychedelically naive. The disconnection from nature -- seeing it just as a resource to be exploited -- is one of the major causes of runaway climate change. Psychedelics (though no guarantee) might help to change such attitudes for the better, as multiple studies have shown that they can foster connection and caring for nature. When used constructively, they can also help people have empathy for others -- something we desperately need.

I could go on and on about their potential benefits, but instead I'll just end by noting that it's myopic and one-sided to just look at the acid casualties without looking at all those who've been helped (not hurt) by psychedelics.
Life's too short to worry about everything and anything. What can you do about it anyway. Pretty much everyone will get COVID at some point and some people will develop heart conditions. You won't be able to prevent getting infected, so you might as well just accept it.
A lot of people want to have full control so rather than create a channel called "Project Phoenix" in a team called "Operations" they'll create a whole new team, and use the general channel.

Much like the OP here I'm in hundreds of teams, and almost all of them do all their talking in #general and they wonder why people never respond to notifications.

The Teams UX and general paradigm is awful. Right now I'm in 3 group chats and two channels (in two Teams) discussing the Okta incident. Huge overlap of them, but not 100% so some people aren't getting all the information.
Because the general HN commenter crowd is apparently pretty pro- cancel culture. They’re in either the “it’s not real” or “actually, it’s good” camps. And this article gives what they feel to be rhetorical cover for their opinions.
Whatever it is you are experiencing it is definitely not cortisone, which is an inactive metabolite of cortisol.
If OKTA gates email like at most organizations, reset email doesn't work. It has to be the ability to set a temp password.
There's no difference between the people doing the cancelling and the person being cancelled, from a "what are their fundamental rights?" perspective. Both must be kind, and both can face shame and shunning for failing to do so. "The Demand for Rigor" here is not Isolated.

More "cancellers" should be shamed and shunned for failing in this way. Isabel Fall should not have been ridiculed for her work, Ken White would agree with you on that.
You just moved problem from ingress controller to kube-proxy (or it's replacement) on the same node. Race condition is still present as before.
> Seems like that is an ideal activity for a thread

Agree, because spawning a new thread and killing a thread carries its own overhead so better to have the thread sleep or be paused by the OS and cpu scheduling.

Its all about getting the balance right, but I have noticed dont net apps run their gui on a single thread instead of a window(s) linked to a thread, like in a multi document interface (MDI) setup.
Great article, I agree that defining Cancel Culture is important, that it's definition relates to the proportionality of response, and that some on the right misuse the term.

I have a better definition, and I also believe that the left owns cancellation.

A definition I like is: action taken to remove privileges from a person based on some qualities of that person, where those qualities do not predict harmful use of those privileges. Yes, there is room for partisan disagreement in what "predicts harmful use", but it is still a step closer to a definition that can produce more frequent agreement both population wide and in sub-populations.

1. This definition naturally encapsulates the common free speech angle of Cancel Culture- most often, expressions of political theory have no predictive power over how a person behaves in some job, role, etc.

2. This definition allows for people's privileges to be removed without it being considered Cancel Culture- ex: Weinstein, Orange Man, CRT Teachers, etc.

3. This definition allows for collectives to boycott a business without it necessarily being Cancel Culture- reasonable for gays to boycott Chick-Fil-A since they fund whatever-it-was anti-gay thing, unreasonable for gays to boycott a business who's CEO ate Chick-Fil-A that one time.

4. This definition allows for extrajudicial and mob justice in general, without it necessarily being Cancel Culture.

On the left owning cancel culture- see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25977399
The concern is obviously not that copyright is inherently immoral, or whatever you're insinuating, even though there are valid objections against the current status quo of multi-century copyrights.

The concern is that they're double-dipping. They had a patent. Patents expire after 20 years, but give you exclusive right to use an invention in the meantime. After a patent expires, what's supposed to happen is that anyone can make use of it.

After the patent expired, they started abusing copyright to kill competition.

It's incredibly unethical to try and have it both ways. They had their patent. Their patents is gone. Competitors should be allowed to use the technology in that patent, without worrying about a random court for some forsaken reason allowing them to abuse copyright to stop competitors from being able to compete.
It mentioned the usage of "authorities" which I assume is a small set of nodes that sign blocks (underwrites atomic transactions for lack of better words, seems like they are not grouped together).

The limiting factor for tps will always be the speed between the consensus actors, in this case the authorities.

Can I as an outsider partake in consensus?

They especially don't like that now, the people they're talking about get to respond directly to them.

I think the dismay is about trying to use copyright to slither around the expiration of a patent, if that is what is going on.

I like the Brompton and tried one in a shop, but decided I couldn't see springing $1400+ for one unless I was sure I would use it a lot, so I would possibly start with a lower cost folding bike and see how I liked it. That was pre-pandemic so I put the whole thing aside.

I'm not concerned about travelling with the bike. The attraction of a folder to me is just an easier time getting it in and out of an apartment for commuting purposes.
"1B valuation" could be 1 server or 10,000.
Except it’s not. Their duty to the stockholders is to be responsible, not to maximize profits. If they feel their news division is important to the company and the community, that’s a perfectly valid reason to maintain it.
Because with bruxism you typically have your mouth closed (I see no other way to grind your teeth).
> In an ideal world, the number of threads in a system would be the same as the number of logical processors – any more and threads might fight over processors, any less and you’re not using the full power of the machine. Obviously, each “normal” process must have at least one thread running whatever main function is available in the executable, so on my system 521 threads would be the minimum number of threads. Still – we have over 7000

Seems to not account for the fact that threads will sleep while waiting for I/O.

This is helpful info, but I use voice on my mobile sparingly, and use my voip line most of the time. (I have a cordless + desktop voip phone at home and work).
Actually you can do a lot of computation with filters but you’re completely incorrect about what a FPAA is.

The FPAA is a matrix of switched capacitors. Such a matrix can be used to design an analog computer. There’s a pretty huge body of literature on this subject.

I’d bet that the OP could have implemented this using FPAA.

I debated replying to this, since the thread has long since moved on, but FWIW, I work for Google, and I’m in a position to know how many SWEs we have.

In general, looking at the companies you cite, I would estimate that roughly 40-50% of the employees are SWEs, with some variability based on industry. It’s a lot more people than you think.
This is the first Pi with 4 or 8 gigabytes of memory, and the ability to boot off a USB drive natively (like a SSD). It can easily replace a big desktop computer with a tiny ~$50 board. It is not a slow and semi-unreliable little computer like the previous models (Raspberry Pi 3 and below).

The Pi 3 only has 1GB of memory and is pretty much unusable for modern desktop use (especially browsing the web today). In addition with only a micro SD card as primary storage it's super slow and prone to brick itself if you aren't careful about powering it up and down cleanly.
I predict that five years from now, every phone will have multiple lenses like this

Inside the fight to save video game history
If portability is the ultimate goal then its probably better to go with learning how to ride unicycle instead of buying a intricate folding bike with a lot of compromises.

Sometimes the the problem can't be fixed with a technical solution and the user simply needs to learn to use a new tool ;)
I think it's pretty good.

It's easy to pipe text-speaking tools into Nu pipelines, and there's a built-in `lines` command that will split line-break-delimited text into a list of strings. From there you can use lots of tools to operate on each line.

Going from Nu data structures to raw lines of text is a little clumsier (`str collect (char newline)` IIRC) but I think that will get improved soon enough.

There's also a handy `detect columns` command that does a pretty good job of automatically converting text tables from old *nix/Windows tools into Nu tables.
What are some examples of jokes/bullying that you've encountered?
This is poorly written and uninformative.
You’ve pointed out two examples of “big personality” CEOs that are colloquially understood to “own” their company, but your argument seems to be that they must own them by virtue of it sounding preposterous to a layperson that they don’t?

Tesla would probably exist without Musk as CEO. Amazon would certainly exist without Bezos as CEO.
I suppose I'm struggling to see the dystopian nightmare in that?

Is Discord dystopian because people alone in their rooms have a headphone fitted to their head "just to be 'together with other people'"?

Is it that it's more immersive than just audio and therefore...somehow bad?
Everyone that uses kubernetes must run into this at some point but we all end up doing exactly what is in this article. But we do it quietly because we all think we must be idiots since there is virtually no one else writing anything about it.
In 2009 I had a pair of (what I thought at the time) very cleverly architected VM servers with complete redundancy between them. Either one could be pulled and there'd maybe be a few seconds of data loss at the worst. One day lightning struck the building and even managed to "jump" the grounded pair of UPS's and fried all hard disks in both nodes.

Thankfully I had both onsite and offsite backups; but it took a couple of weeks to order the new equipment, install it and set everything up again.

Now I "devops" all the things and always have the ability to spin up all the services and restore from backups within minutes. This is the new standard in my opinion.
Your son will have plenty of opportunities to learn outside of school.

School is an opportunity for him to learn the (arguably more important) social skills that he needs to succeed and be happy.

Pushing him to skip grades or go to a special school is going to harm his social skills, which I know from experience. Let him be a normal kid, let him meet a variety of other people across the spectrum of intelligence, and supplement his education with extracurriculars and books.
While we're at it, let's just make an entirely new IP infrastructure.
This.

I'm just starting to play with Unity, but I am playing with it at all because I can essentially learn along the way with them since they are still releasing things that I just don't quite need yet. This may not make sense to some people, but no offense to them... their opinions don't matter. We are the ones using this, not them.
Did not know that…
> More toxic investors who think the world needs more ads, less investigative journalism.

You're talking on Hacker News where people routinely bypass paid content by posting workaround links. The same people who get angry when people stealing their SAAS subscriptions. This is the pot calling the kettle black.
The comprehensive test ban treaty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Nuclear-Test-Ban...

The US also hasn't tested since 1992. Given the situation with B-2 heat exchangers, F-22 spare parts and FOGBANK, I would not be interested in betting large amounts of money that American nuclear weapons are fully functional either.

Interestingly enough, both the US and Russia routinely test fire ICBMs. So we know the rockets work, but not the warheads.

A very awkward exchange would be if Putin goes nuts and orders a first strike, we do a "use em or lose em" ICBM launch, and all the warheads fizzle over their intended targets. What then? Awkward coughing and shuffling of feet? Roll the tanks for a full-scale war in Europe? If the nuclear umbrella truly was the only thing preventing direct Great Power conflict, then do we shrug and institute 20th century-style mass conscription and blow the dust off all the century old war stockpiles?
More than the look, I'd be more worried about going over the bars at the first deep pothole.
>modality of mass mob boycotts of individuals over things potentially taken out of context is entirely new, and that's exactly what "cancel culture" refers to

Wonderfully written, noduerme, and I comment first to expand on this part. The mob includes friends and family. To be shunned, or ostracized by friends and family can and does happen because of these incidents. To become associated with an ideology, even against your will, can put your employment at risk, as your employer does not want to be seen as supporting you. These are very dire consequences, equivalent to significant jail time, IMHO.

Second, I want to note that the phenomena is a failure of the justice system. That in an ideal world there would only be one justice and it would be fast and easy to access, and handle even the smallest matter promptly and fairly. These antics are wrong, but they point to a demand for righting wrongs that isn't being met by the current justice system.
Picked up a refurb 16GB air just last week. I'm astounded at the battery life. It's my dream laptop. I wanted to buy a framework for the repairability, but I make some iOS apps and also really wanted the battery life. I've been floored by how long it lasts, even running npm installs and compiling Angular applications, things that used to burn my lap and drain the battery in 4-6 hours on my Intel air.

Have you seen someone use 5-meo before? The hamilton morris' pharmacopeia episode about 5-meo-dmt usage showed someone using it - and the state they were in made it seem extremely plausible someone could vomit and asphyxiate from that drug alone, especially if someone is using it without a trip sitter.

Great episode, but that scene is pretty disturbing.
And yet they're effective, so I wonder what the disconnect is.
You can't just copy data, it's said to be they're factor k (i.e. 10^3) hahaha
Even switching to "speed_mph" still makes the warning/comment relevant: that just means that "m" is for "miles" and not "meters"
I’m just a Joe Average W-2 working stiff, but if I ever needed an attorney, I’d expect that I could divulge all the facts of my situation to them without those specific disclosures being subject to subpoena (5th Amendment and all).

To me, it’s not about “should this specific thing be cloaked behind privilege?” but rather “to make the attorney-client relationship productive and to make representation effective, they should be privileged”.

“You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide” is not an argument for much of anything and certainly not for by default removing the privileged nature of communication between an attorney and their client.
Unreal seems to be making these things easier to achieve through tooling for games, where I feel Unity is just trying to point out that you could still reach this level of fidelity if you wanted to, like you said.

I think if I were to start a high fidelity project with a big team, I'd start seriously considering the art pipeline benefits you're getting from Unreal. It looks like they're trying pretty hard to take some of the tedious work out of lighting and setting up LODs, which could be a big time savings.
How does my VOIP number being in my friend's address book, enable Google to see that address book, and learn my mobile number?

My goal is not to ensure no one is capable of tracking me ; that's literally impossible. However, I do not want:

* Google to get my name, contact info, etc via my phone itself

* Google to link to me, by seeing my mobile phone in another person's contacts

This is why I give no one my mobile number.

If the Government, or if someone was suing me, or I was up to "no good", an exhaustive search would likely bear fruit. So? That's an entirely different animal.
Microsoft confirms Lapsus$ hackers stole source code via ‘limited’ access
Except for the 5K resolution, the Studio Display is garbage.

It's a 5 year old LCD screen, where given price it's reasonable to expect better dimming. It's outdated in color accuracy as it scores well on DCI-P3, yet poorly on AdobeRGB (86%). For normal monitors these are good values, but they fail to impress for studio work. Further, factory calibration is shit, the white point is far too warm.

Where Apple brags about "billions of colors", it's not a true 10 bit screen. You just can't trust a single thing they say.

It's only 60hz. It's not a gaming screen but I'm just looking for any feature, any at all, to justify the price.

It's intentionally consumer hostile. Not only will it not really work on Windows, it also doesn't have a single button, not even a power button. It's entirely software controlled, and that should make you anxious.

There's no HDR support at all. Come on!? This is no longer a niche thing, it's a core need for videographers.

The stands, both options, do less than the cheapest stand on any other monitor.

All of this fits nicely into their line-up of non-pro screens. Like the bigger Pro Display XDR, according to Apple comparable to Sony's 35K$ reference monitor. Except that it isn't. Apple's display is not uniform and blooms all over the place. It's not a bad pro monitor, it's not a pro monitor at all. It literally cannot be used for color-critical work.
Hmmm, me, I want batteries included. Why I don't I have continuous deployment? Because that would require work doing something I don't have time to do. Why don't I have a staging server? Because more work. Why don't I have backups. Again, more work. Why don't I have metrics so I can see where my bottlenecks are? More work. Why don't I have logging? More work. Why don't I have a way to do updates without taking the servers down? No time, more work, too complicated.

Sure I can write a server in 5 lines of code but adding all that stuff is many many many person years of work and plus I'd have to go through all the learning pains of doing it wrong, crashing things, losing data, before I'd add it correctly.

I want some existing solution that domain experts already created that do things right.

It has nothing to do with "sexy/unsexy". It's unsexy to use UnrealEngine. It's sexy to write your own. But unsexy ships while sexy is spending time recreating stuff that already exists, unsexy is moving on to the actual content and shipping.
In my opinion the main point that most discussions on "cancel culture" are missing, is that the real issue is actually deplatforming, not cancel culture.

In most of our recent history, the agora was the place for public speech, and the town square was not on private land, access to it was regulated by public laws, not by private corporations.

White in his article makes a distinction between free speech in the sense of being free from government censorship, and free speech in the sense of being free from other people's shunning.

But there is a third category now, free speech in the sense of being free from a handful of mega corporation's censorship.

They own the agora, and as such their censorship policies should be subject to similar strict regulations as government-enacted censorship.

When you see it from this angle, I think it's a fairly bipartisan problem, it's not just some bigot complaining that they can't say racist slurs on social media.
> Even left wing dominated cities have large numbers of right wing constituents.

To think this is the cause of police brutality is a stretch to put it mildly.

> Right wing cancel culture are lynch mobs and the literal bombing of an American city and the imprisonment of an unconscionable number of black males.

Again with the random grab of different grievances. None of these are relevant to this conversation, but explaining why would require a separate explanation for each one.

Instead of trying to throw whatever you can against the wall to see what sticks, why not pick one or two things you think are the best example of what you are arguing, and I can just refute that?
Can you quantify "huge" for me? Is it bigger than the neo-nazi problem in Russia, or the US?
I get the sentiment.

I think “rational” and “crazy” are not incompatible; to me, a lack of empathy is a type of crazy, and yet I also think people who lack empathy can make rational or irrational decisions about how to reach their goals.

I’m not sure I’d count Putin as rational even given a lack of empathy, given what seems to happen to successful Russian generals even before this war.
