I really like the idea of this. I look forward to reading what's finished now, as well as what will be released in the future!

I have a huge gap in knowledge for so many things that I interact with on a regular basis, but that I don't actually need to understand well in order to meet minimum job expectations.

This seems like a good book to address network basics. Sadly, I'm a huge procrastinator, but this seems especially important for me to address.

Books that have been in my backlog for years: Database Design for Mere Mortals, Designing Data-Intensive Applications, Building Secure and Reliable Systems, Writing a Compiler in Go, Crafting Interpreters.

All books that I know I need to read, but I just can't get around to it because there's no immediate reward for me, as someone who doesn't have to worry about any of these days in my day-to-day duties.
Rather than attacking him, you are free to discuss on how it would be hard to attribute or reach to a source.

Just because you might not know what techniques the researchers here used to reach to that conclusion, doesn't mean they would have used dubious methods.

It is better to ask than attack a person.
On Being Disappeared
Potentially, once I cover the more basic topics. Part 1 will cover essentially a simplified Ethernet network (plus a few additions). Part 2 will cover the internet as it existed about 20 years ago. And part 3 will cover modern additions.

I’ve done some IOT work so it is something that interests me.
I don't think that necessarily changes anything. The weird cultural effects of Slack are probably even worse with remote workers.
I wish MS would actually kill InfoPath... not they keep in this is quasi life support mode that is broken 50% of the time but still listed as "supported" with a 2013 client that breaks all the flippen time..

The official death date is Jul 14, 2026, however that has been extended 2 times now...
>But even beyond that, many people who're into watches really don't care what other people think about them.

that's been precisely opposite of every interaction I've had with watch enthusiasts.

in fact, that's been opposite of every interaction I've had with any luxury-goods enthusiast, cars/watches/planes/art , you name it; if it was expensive and rare you're likely going to hear about the purchase at lunch.

people don't tend to want to bring up their new 9 dollar Casio or their 1997 Corolla, go figure.
The wildcards are fantastic. I got some spam the other week, emailed the company that passed on my address (they didn't even think to remove their website name from the address) and ask for them to remove all my personal information and they couldn't even a muster a reply. Guess they weren't expecting that.
How would the brand lose "dignity" by doing a coop with their mother brand? Do you perceive the value of a OMEGA watch by the marketing instead of the watch making?
Interestingly, I went the other way. Once I found myself ‘addicted’ to screens I got a nice automatic to check time with, and found that it really helped wean me off screens (I can set down my phone now and not look at it all day, and my quality of life and sleep have improved)
A real Omega moonwatch is so different from the moonswatch that it's not a substitutable good at all. No one who was previously interested in buying a real $6k+ moonwatch is going to instead buy the 1/25th price Swatch and call it a day. The Swatch is an homage to the real thing. Homages are common in the watch industry (look at, e.g., the Invicta Pro Diver vs the Rolex Submariner), and here we see a conglomerate leveraging its lower-priced brand to profit off an homage to its own brand rather than leaving that exclusively to others (see e.g. the Pagani Design Speedmaster).
Yes, their proprietary scalable video codec is what makes the difference.

It's miles ahead any competition and pretty much the only tool which will give you decent calling experience on spotty connections.

Before zoom I was mostly doing audio calls on a computer, with zoom video is easily manageable (actually, not sure if that's a plus for society, it certainly increased the meetings / productiveTime ratio).
The odds of those things being worked into php-src are very, very small. Most of the time there has been discussion on these topics on the internals mailing list, it was clear that the majority favored keeping those things in userland.

The problem with templating systems, routers, DI containers, testing frameworks, etc.. is that they are all very opinionated. There is no one way to do it, and each implementation has upsides and downsides.

On top of that, the PHP ecosystem is so mature that for each of the possible implementations of these features, there is a stable, production-ready and actively maintained library/framework. Why reinvent the wheel?

An important detail is that most of these frameworks have also built a business around their product, which means that people are being paid to work on them. How would the financial situation work if you moved all that into the core?

For me, the current situation is close to the ideal one. For example, the recent addition of fibers into the core in PHP 8.1 was a logical step to allow cooperative multi-threading. It will be used by great userland frameworks like Revolt, Amp, ReactPHP and more. The full event loop feature would be too heavy for the core.

+ Composer is so great that installing any of these packages is a breeze anyway.
A town close to me has tons of land, excellent fiber Internet, hardly any zoning restrictions and all the property is increasing drastically in price. No new factories or businesses either.
F-Droid is a second-class citizen on billions of existing Android phones, tablets and streaming devices. Google also shows numerous scary warnings meant to trick users into believing that F-Droid is going to hack them or give them malware should they try to use it.
> Are fighter jets so important in the age of drones? Shouldn’t we invest in drones which are much cheaper?

AFAIK: Militaries have done a lot of research, as you can imagine, and the overwhelming conclusion is that UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles or drones) can do some things very well, some things not well at all - the truth of all technologies, once they shift from dream to practical reality. In almost all cases in the military (and probably in life), AI does better when teamed with a human. Particularly, AI does poorly in unexpected situations. Driving on streets with rules and lanes and signs is difficult enough for AI; war is chaos - the main tactic in war is overwhelming your enemy's decision-making with chaos. AI is too brittle; it can only handle what happened last time.

The widespread solution - I'm not sure about China and Russia - is teaming AI-controlled systems (UAVs in this case) with human commanders, so for fighter plane scenarios you get a human in a fighter plane controlling several UAVs. The US is just reaching the next development stage in this technology; look up 'loyal wingman'.
> I'm a bit suspicious of these complaints where the party curiously omits the details of why they were banned

I read it as the dev had no warning or explanation.
That seems to support christopherslee's point. NPR already had what it needed institutionally to do podcasts people wanted to listen to and the reach to make sure they have a chance to reach an audience. I could start one and probably do okay because I already know a bit about audio engineering and marketing and can make my own music, but most people start from 0.

That's a difficult thing to accomplish when Google has not provided them the details of why they were banned.
Thanks for the suggestions. Will definitely ask my son to check it out and then add it.
Spectrum is weird. Technically WiFi is also spectrum and it supports every household in SF with way more than 30 MB/s each.

So it’s really just a matter of how many antennas and how “far” (including walls) can the frequency travel.
I guess we hang in different crowds then. It sounds like you're hanging out with people who are big on showing off and projecting wealth, rather than real watch nerds who are in it for the "love of horology".
Interesting.

Because once you go 3D, you might as well just go modern 3D.

It's why, amusingly, the PS1 game that is probably the most highly regarded today is a 2D game (Symphony of the Night).

3D games just age like milk and people have no interest in old ones.
Past and test projects are good as well.

I'm not against open ended questions, but making them should be a privilege the boss grants to well-intentioned employees.
Setting "is it illegal?" as the bar would allow nigh any content whatsoever as creators could just go host-shopping until we found a country where our objectionable material was legal.
And the addition of the part with not being able to feed a family, smells very strongly of cheap manipulation and attempt to brigade.
Oh I’m with you on that one. It’s like the lazy less effective formats are cannibalizing all the others.
> I think the proper term here would be feudalism.

But that's not the proper term?

>Feudalism, also known as the feudal system, was the combination of the legal, economic, military, and cultural customs that flourished in Medieval Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries.

Unless you think removing affordable housing would bring back "the combination of the legal, economic, military, and cultural customs that flourished in Medieval Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries", the "proper term" isn't really "feudalism".
"Capital in the 21st Century" by Thomas Piketty.

No matter your opinion on his politics or the reference to Marx it's interesting and the data collected is vast.
The basics are this, the lower the frequency because lower frequencies propagate better (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss)

but...

you will get less capacity, because at the lower frequencies there is less spectrum (it is simple arithmetic there is 1000Mhz of spectrum below 1Ghz, but there is 100Ghz of spectrum below 100Ghz (setting aside the details about how it gets allocated etc.)

The amount of capacity you can achieve is based on Shannon limit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon%E2%80%93Hartley_theore...

it's the classic engineering trade off, better propagation vs. more capacity.

that is why the carriers want low, medium and high band in their inventory,

low is considered < 1Ghz, medium is considered 1Ghz - 10Ghz, high is > 10Ghz, roughly speaking
But in this case the residents already "own nothing"? The only difference here is that they're renting from a new owner, which decided to raise the rent.
Few and well armed win the initial combat, but what were the outcomes in Iraq and Afghanistan and why?
Let's not be naive, if the market gave a shit about substance over marketing, we'd all be wearing Seikos and driving Toyotas.
Nothing 2010 about it, 3-2-1 backup, you shouldn't be relying on any cloud provider holding your only copy.
Only the self-contained Paddington to Abbey Wood core section will be part of the initial opening.

Trains from Stratford will still be terminating at the same high-level platforms at Liverpool Street. Through running into the core tunnels (and thus a signalling system change) will come later.
> structured logging should really be tracing given the heavy async + services nowadays

I’m a huge huge proponent of tracing but god I wish it wasn’t necessary. The inability for most programming languages to serialize and produce a sensible async stack trace is a source of constant pain that tracing bandaids over. The state is right there dammit! There’s one thread, the event order is centrally controlled and serializable, you have all the stack frames, just put them together, don’t make me keep a log just to know what actually happened in a program that isn’t at all random.
Hiya. You should check out FusionAuth (disclosure: I'm an employee). We have a comparable offering to Auth0.

From talking to other users, Cognito is okay as long as you don't need any real customization. It's also great if you need to get AWS credentials on login. But there are plenty of folks who start with Cognito, run into its limitations, and move elsewhere (even if they stay with AWS for other service). Here's a story about someone who moved from Cognito to FusionAuth: https://fusionauth.io/blog/2020/11/18/reconinfosec-fusionaut...
Fossil is more self-host friendly if you're on a shared hosting plan, since it works via CGI and can be served via nginx/Apache with minimal configuration. Every git hosting solution I'm aware of requires a dedicated daemon.
In an all-out nuclear war, the people who get killed instantly are going to be the lucky ones.

Watch Threads[1] and then tell me you wouldn't have rather died in the blast.... and as absolutely terrifying as it is, that's probably an over-optimistic version of what would really happen.

The companies which manufacture these bunkers say they're built to withstand nuclear attack, but I'm pretty skeptical. It definitely depends on where you are in relation to the blast.

The US used to have a lot of huge bunkers deep underground and inside mountains, for government continuity purposes in the event of nuclear war, but they were quietly decommissioned once more powerful nuclear weapons were developed, because they realized that even these hardened bunkers wouldn't survive.

In the US you're going to be either near a populated area, which will probably turn to a glass crater in a nuclear war, or you'll be in an unpopulated area, which is probably near a missile base, so you're screwed there too. Nuclear winter and fallout will kill anyone unlucky enough to survive.

Wunderlist was acquired and killed because it would have been better than Microsoft Todo. They promised to implement a few features and pocketed some customers.
60% of mobile users in the US use iOS, and Apple has hobbled mobile Safari's browser and JavaScript engines in order to prevent web apps from implementing basic of features that native apps have had for a decade.

You can't even work around that problem because Apple bans any other browser or scripting engine from being distributed on iOS, so users are stuck with an intentionally limited browser for web apps, which makes web apps second-class citizens on the platform.
There is the Microsoft social network that was supposed to kill Facebook:

So when you reply in gmail, that reply is sent using the smtp server for your custom email domain? Where do you host that?
Have your lawyer write a letter.

As in, a real legal demand with a complaint attached that is addressed to their counsel and includes estimates of monetary damages and alludes (not threatens) to the specific jurisdiction and court it would be submitted to for adjudication.

Send copies of this letter, by registered/certified mail, to several contacts.

They will have to respond to this and these responses will be expensive.

If you are in the right - even marginally so - your account will get fixed because it will be much too expensive to continue to ignore you.

Filling in web forms and emailing form addresses costs google nothing. It makes perfect sense that these actions (appear) to have identical results as doing nothing.
Seems reasonable to make Google liable for your damages. They've incentivizing people to use their store, and then pulling the rug out from under them.

Similar logic has already been applied in the US for e.g. rapes that occur on a business' property. If they're incentivizing you to come their, they are liable for bad thing that happen to you.
> It would have been hard, before the Ukraine invasion, to understand what goals of a unified foreign policy would be

Many in France and Germany could understand it very well. The UK generally resisted EU integration, including currency and foriegn policy, and of course the UK eventually left.

That’s not true in my experience. The cost of running on public cloud is extremely prohibitive.

There are some things that can run on cloud, but the heavy hitting game servers should really be bare metal for the baseline.

I gave a talk about this in Stockholm once, unfortunately it wasn’t recorded but I can share the slides if you want.
For those too lazy to click through, this comment is the CTO of cloudflare asking what features people would like in response to a comment: "Matthew Prince has a lot of tweets today about how he might have to begrudgingly enter the IAM space given how disappointed he is, how serious are you guys about this? "
I understand that costs some milliseconds and distraction and might be inferior GUI in many situations, but calling it a "struggle" seems like a large exaggeration, especially for the HN crowd which probably just presses CTRL+P.
I don’t want to be the one to pay for figuring out how to neutralize spammers on a global, free service with billions of users.
We don't know the background, and the content of the previous mails Google has sent this developer prior to the alleged account disabling.

OP conveniently left that information out.

Without that, it's hard to draw any conclusions.

Some infractions are also difficult to convey back to the developer. For instance, I believe a business might not be allowed to communicate details, if account is under police investigation and there is suspicion that the developer might destroy evidence, that sort of thing. I'm not saying this developer has done something wrong, but we just don't know.

It's definitely infuriating if you are trapped like that.
Imagine my confusion when I started a new job and was told we use clubhouse for issue tracking - I had only heard about the social media app

Silly that you're getting downvoted - especially when no one is posting any reasons for their downvote
I still don't understand what you mean with the loss of dignity what is the loss of dignity? Do you mean that the arbitrary value you put on OMEGA watches should not be compromised by offering a cheaper version?
Don't allow free-form communication and ban toxic users. That's what nintendo does.
Huh? What serious subject has only video tutorials and no text/diagrams? I also don't understand your argument about traffic to text at all, we're on a high-traffic mostly-text site right now with plenty of how-to style content.
Thank you! Your backlog sounds like a fantastic list as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend Designing Data-Intensive Applications. I’m reading it a 2nd time for a book club at work, and I think it’s one of the best overviews of distributed systems out there.
Not taking it as criticism. I totally agree with you.
I think as a parent of these advanced kids it puts more onus on the parent and kid to work together to identify appropriate books based on these reference points.
There are other options. You can use something like rclone to make multiple copies across cloud storage providers. You could also rent some cheap cloud storage like Backblaze B2 and use a backup software like restic.
I don't think the NES is that interesting. Who said it is? It was just another machine that came out, had some games, got outdated, and then was replaced by something else just like all the rest.

The SNES was the most "special" of the Nintendo machines in that it hit the sweet spot where the games were sophisticated enough to be really interesting yet still simple enough to be made by small teams and thus not end up as run by committee corporate turds.
It’s not about me, it’s more about overinterpreting statements. News flash: Elon can be wrong, has been wrong, will be wrong. This is not news, even to his fans.

Taxi timeline was a prediction, not a promise. Elon. Can. Be. Wrong.

Hardware is not software. The hardware working depends on software that is not done yet.

Some hardware has been upgraded to be sure. The jury is still out on whether that old claim will pan out, pending future software updates. I doubt it will, but I think it was made in earnestness, not as “BS”.
I must be missing something. The paper describes the algorithm of the CRDT and mentions that "timestamps ’t need to be globally unique and totally ordered".

Then it mentions multiple times that Lamport clocks/timestamp can be used as the timestamp in their system but as far as I know these only give a partial order of events. How is this reconciled in their system?
This is the correct answer to the situation.
Thanks please do share any feedback as you work thru this - both on the content and also on the site as well.

Even if recovered, 3 weeks of a suspended account can do a lot of damage.

Never going to happen for the same reason companies don't tell you why your job application was rejected because it opens them up to unnecessary liability.
Two essential use cases:

1) For local development, I’m seeking a command I can use after pulling, to safely and quickly install any needed dependencies that have been added by others. Currently I use npm ci but it’s absurdly overkill (and therefore very slow).

2) For CI itself. I cache node_modules/ across builds, which significantly speeds up my builds. Currently I npm i, and check if lockfile changed, and if it did, checkout lockfile and npm ci.

I shouldn’t need to npm ci ever unless my node_modules/ became corrupt for some reason. Because npm ci ALWAYS blows away node_modules/, it’s not a reasonable piece of everyday functionality, it’s just a semantically ambiguous way to rm -rf node_modules/ && npm i -—respect-lockfile (made up flag I wish existed). The obvious explanation is that the npm developers couldn’t figure out how to reliably reconcile node_modules/ with the lockfile, so just gave up and shipped npm ci.

Or if the rm -rf node_modules/ isn’t strictly necessary for npm ci, then give me npm ci —-skip-drop-node-modules, that would be equivalent and fine for my purposes.
A marketer friend recommended this guy, and I decided to give his book a read. The guy is Gary Vaynerchuk and the book is "Crushing It!: How Great Entrepreneurs Build Their Business and Influence-and How You Can, Too".

It's been some time, but I can vividly remember his advice on exploring new social networks in order to generate ROI on new marketing channels. Basically what you are saying but with a lot of inferred 'bro' in the process.
1. you realize that in many parts of the US, they're not actually public utilities? PG&E is privately owned, for instance is a publicly traded for profit company.

2. Water and electricity are public utilities because they're a natural monopoly. It doesn't make sense for 3 different water/electricity companies to lay 3 sets of pipes/wires to serve one city, so we let one company do it. Needless to say, the same does not apply to shelter.
