Personally I have run into rollback in FPS games. Not many fighting games use rollback.
Honestly, I don't think your anecdote helps the point you are making. Yes well all do stupid things from time to time. I have done stupid things. I'm arguing that there are times when we should should show kindness and compassion and there are times when, fuck it, you were an idiot, you should know better, and I am going to judge you for it.

There is an idea floating around that all judging is bad. I reject that. It might not be helpful to the person being judged an idiot, but the expectation that I should change my view of others to help them with their learning is... I'm struggling to find the right words here... an imposition?

I think it is the difference between being kind to everyone and not being unkind to anyone.

Everyone judges people all the time, to claim otherwise is a lie. I will continue to judge people by their actions, whether or not they improve by some metric is not my aim, nor my problem.

I really like how in depth you are going on foundational Layer 1 material so far. Example, I was so happy to see you discussing transceivers. I feel like mosts texts just give a cursory treatment to layer 1 and its hardware. I hope the next few chapters continue on with this layer 1 and hardware before moving up to Layer 2. I think it makes your book quite unique so far. Thanks for sharing.
> Graeber is a poor economist

Is exactly my point which is why said that Debt is a terrible book to understand money in the real world.

> deserves props for debunking the myth of barter coming before credit

Do you think Graber came up with this? Or that this wasn't the mainstream view amongst economists? Allyn Young wrote matter-of-factly about it for a popular science book in 1924[0]. And I don't mean to say he was the first one to realise this, I'm saying this was a common view. And Young wasn't some avant-garde heterodox radical. He was the president of American Economic Association. It doesn't get more mainstream than that!

And this what I mean by misrepresentation of the history and ideas of mainstream economics. And Graber doesn't stop there. He pretends like somehow all of economics is hinged upon this Myth of Barter.

Adam Smith is not the supreme arbiter and law-giver of economics. FWIW, Graber's critism of Adam Smith in this instance is justified. But as is typical of Graber, he doesn't stop there. He goes on to say thet Adam Smith's famous "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest" thesis is wrong because shopkeepers of the time mostly sold goods on credit and thus the customers were in fact depending on their benevolence.

If credit was benevolence, that would make banks the most benevolent entities on the planet.

Agreed. Expected rental return is a perfectly valid way to assess the value of a building but I feel that having vacancies should detract from the value in a way you'd rather keep it occupied all the time.
A better question would be to ask the rate of growth for the US adult population.
Let me correct you: Freemium exists because a bunch of nihilistic dipshits decided that it was OK to charge users not to endure a completely fabricated delay just because they knew they would pay to progress in the game. Also that people realized that things nonessential to game progression such as emotes and outfits were valuable to users in multiplayer games.

Piracy has existed as long as games have and continues to this day, and yet FOR SOME REASON, gaming (not the casino kind) is the most profitable entertainment industry in the world at this time.

Want to know the truth? Only poor people pirate (just like any criminal, you usually have to be poor to be motivated to be a bad actor), so the vast majority are not actually lost sales. As soon as game lovers get some cash, they throw down to get the games they want.

I think it is actually a valid criticism of mainstream macroeconomics that they mostly ignore thermodynamics and energy. But the 'cryptocurrency is energy storage' just clearly errs far, far more in the wrong direction, given that (assuming PoW), the energy is permanently consumed in using it, and even more energy is consumed in transacting, with no energy actually ever being able to be returned.

You can't say that something that uses a huge amount of energy, and then lets you pay for even more energy to be used has "transferred" that energy, it's just unnecessarily consumed much more energy than was required...
Not necessarily in my experience! Most games don't hit the CPU particularly hard.

Mostly reliant on (hardware offloaded) network latency, memory, and storage. Consistency being the thing of most importance. A spike is felt - interpolation can only go so far

CPU virtualization extensions make the latency cost of VMs hardly noticeable, containers are technically better but it's a split hair.

On an unloaded host and a single VM you can achieve essentially identical performance as bare metal - the CPU extensions, pinning cores, and huge pages are key

Some performance metrics even improve! Disk operations tend to do better from an added layer of memory involvement

Edit: there are options for multi-tenant fairness whichever way you go -- Bare metal, VMs, or containers

Performance isn't much of a worry, more so the 'handles'
People read books because grabbing bits and pieces from blogs and tutorials often means that you end up with holes in your understanding that you don't know are there. Books are also a nice place to start when you don't even know what blog posts to read.

Tutorials are great if you want to learn how to use library X. I prefer books if I want to understand the problem that library X solves. Of course that's a sweeping generalization.

Yeah, I'm finishing a basement and the select 2x4 studs were over $9 last week. So I went with economy studs for $4.35 but you have to really pick through them to get good ones.

No, but they still run on what their constituents want, and act on those wants via how they execute their office. Key donors are probably a lot more for growth than key constituents.
Can’t speak for OP, but there are a lot of things people do out there, not just web apps.

People building games, robots, trading systems, distributed databases, CDNs, etc could be really limited in their capability if they didn’t grok networking concepts on a deeper level. It also tends to tie in heavily to other systems concepts (things like zero-copy, or even basic elements like ring buffers).

I think you might also underestimate just how little knowledge a lot of people have. You went to a legit uni and took a legit course.

The interview question OP asks is an old favourite I used to ask too. A lot of people answered something like “clicky-linky-page-rendery!” So a bit of education on the many layers below that doesn’t hurt.
Back in the '80s in Bulgaria, I was only able to find the Bresenham's algorithm for circles, but needed to draw an ellipse (in 6052 assembly, well, machine code), and was so proud that I manage to do it.
I mean, I don't hate them, but when I was reading this code, I came across a section that had what I presume was "===" (three equals signs) but it was three vertical lines the length of em-dashes stacked on top of one another, and this looks like absolutely nothing I can type.

And, I think that's really my objection to coding-specific ligatures. When you're used to them, you can "instantly realize what they represent," but they're rarely as clear as simply displaying the characters that you type. Historically, ligatures come from slightly tweaking the aesthetics of letter pairs or triplets to be (subjectively) more readable, never in ways that obscure the actual characters. Coding ligatures are arguably designed to obscure the actual characters being typed. That might be relatively inoffensive, like joining the characters in "=>" to make it look like an arrow, but it's not materially helpful -- and sometimes, like the Three Mystery Lines, it's actively puzzling.

This is pretty meaningless argument though. Ok, maybe it does not contradict the second law of thermodynamics. It still contradicts the conservation of energy though, and that's what matters!

(It also does not contradict law of conservation of momentum, Boltzmann law, and San Francisco parking rules. Who cares?)

Stories about these institutions get conflated into a mess that scarcely resembles the reality. In a way, this is inevitable with a wide variety of schools and treatment centers, and a yet wider variety of perspectives.

This particular story tells us little about these schools – it describes the perspective of a student, a client. This is valuable and I'm grateful to read it. However, I caution other readers against making assumptions about these institutions based on any given story.

I would know – I attended four of these schools. Some incredibly strict (even dehumanizing) and others a joy (one had season passes to the local ski resort). Most of them blended these two polarities. Students exhibited huge variation in responses, to the point that a listener hearing them describe their shared experiences would be certain they were discussing different places.

For example, some students thought it was abusive to require skiing and mountain biking two days per week (I disagree). Other students thought it was totally fine to be required to wear hospital scrubs as a means of stigmatization (I also disagree). Almost no one questioned social isolation as punishment – perhaps the most incredible abuse I routinely witnessed and was subjected to, considering the developmental phase of adolescents. My point: it will take a mosaic of perspectives to really understand what's going on.

I also caution readers against abhorrence towards parents. Consider those not-rare parents who have tried everything to help a kid who is on the cusp of life in prison, undergoing their 8th overdose, or being repeatedly raped and subjected to prostitution/exploitation. Consider that many of these schools offer a greater education than what's locally available. Consider that some of these schools are effective and relatively safe.

A final note that I believe clouds this topic -> We live in a puritanical, punitive society. Even for non-religious people, we have been inculcated with ideals of purity and expectations of punishment. These delusions and biases cloud this topic.

My final guidance is to read these stories with an open mind. This author was truthful, and we should listen. The next story you hear will probably contradict it but also be truthful, and we should listen.
No, it's not. You might see UV-A or UV-B in normal sunlight, but not UV-C. It is blocked by the atmosphere. That's why it's so dangerous to terrestrial life as diverse as viruses, bacteria, and human beings, as well as others.

UV-C is not something we have had frequent exposure to over the millennia, and so this is something we are not adapted to handle.

That's a standard thing you can add to air handlers. We have UV-C bulbs in our own air handler units upstairs in the attic. They're expensive, though.

> Arguable all housing investment should go into new housing, not competing

why can't it go into new housing via a chain of financial transactions, rather than directly? In other words, it doesn't matter what the "new" money is invested in - as long as new construction rate is keeping up.

So if it's not, then where's the problem? Why isn't that root cause being addressed, instead of trying to mandate how investors want to invest?
Your throwaway account alleged something absolutely false without any proof (sexual harassment). Now the argument has shifted onto an accusation of inappropriate behavior (which actually doesn't even mean that there has been one). This are two very different things. Period.

> I'll do it from my end: yes, they were accused of it

Accused of sexual harassment by a member of the BA alliance? Never. This is absolutely false.

If you have proof of that please share the information.
I think any future readers will like reading about it

But for the sake of discussion, let's play devils advocate. Even if such an accusation would exist (which in this case, it doesn't), it would not imply it's truthfulness. That's why it's super important to always put this matters into the hand of authorities so any bad behaviors (either sexual harassment or false accusations) are addressed with the full weight of the law.
I'm against VSCode because it's a Microsoft product. I've been working on kernels for several decades and I remember when they tried to kill Linux and ran an entire ad campaign around it. Their entire embrace, extend, extinguish is still alive, and they're only embracing OSS because they lost their end user device battle (because their OS is trash) and had to pivot to cloud where people were already embracing OSS. WSL, running my editor in the cloud and paying for a subscription, having Microsoft control your editor, it's all clearly a dystopia for developers that leads to lock in, paying for things that should be free, and an invasion of privacy that should be avoided at all cost.

There are so many editors to choose from. I get that not everyone wants invest in Vim/Emacs, even though you should and it will pay off, and the vast majority of the programmers that are doing great things are using Vim/Emacs (seriously, I have a list of big names and except for some rare exceptions like James Gosling who apparently uses Netbeans, EVERYONE noteworthy uses Vim/Emacs), and it's OSS, and in Vim's case it's also helping a charity. But if you are the person who just can't get there with Vim/Emacs, at least don't give yourself over to Microsoft. Use Sublime, Nova, BB, etc. They're all great editors by small companies making cool stuff and they'll get way more out of your support than Microsoft.

The issue in SF and Seattle is absolutely not building major infrastructure, lol. Many areas of SF are 3-4 floors tops. New buildings are height limited by zoning except in the financial district. If anything, Texas has way crappier infrastructure than SF/Seattle.

Zoning and empowering NIMBYs with the ability to block construction is the big differentiator.
True. What actually happens, is the opposite, known as Thier's law[0]: "Good money drives out bad". When given free choice (free competition between currencies), people prefer to accept the good money, which eventually drives out the bad money from circulation. Or more clearly, the bad money loses demand and therefore its value.

Professor Sapolsky on Chaos (class on Human Biology/Biology of Behaviour):

Chaos year after year after year in this class provokes the strongest opinions.

A quarter of the people decide it is the most irritating, irrelevant thing that could possibly have been assigned in the class and hate it.

About half the people never quite figure out what's up with it.

And a quarter of the people, their life is transformed. They no longer have to meditate, they no longer have to have a—just they are at peace. At peace, I tell you.

Because what this book does is introduce this whole radically different way of thinking about biology, taking apart a world of reductionism. For five hundred years we have all been using a very simple model for thinking about living systems, which is, if you want to understand something that's complicated, you break it apart into its little pieces.

And once you understand the little pieces and put it back together, you will understand the complex thing. And what Chaos as an entire field is about—and this was pretty much the first book that was meant for the lay public about it—what Chaos shows is, that's how you fix clocks. That's not how you fix behaviors. That's not how you understand behaviors. Behavior is not like a clock, behavior is like a cloud. And you don't understand rainfall by breaking a cloud down into its component pieces and gluing them back together.

So read through that book. A lot of it is from physical sciences rather than biological, so we'll just be suggesting the chapters you should read.

I will tell you it is the first book since, like, Baby Beluga where I've gotten to the last page and immediately started reading it over again from the front. Because, along with Baby Beluga, it's had the greatest influence on my life. I found this to be the most influential book in my thinking about science since college. So that is a sign.
