> Nearly everyone either bought a new home or refinanced within the last 12-18 months due to historically low rates. This also means that almost all mortgages are pretty much capped out in terms of loan to value.

How do you figure? Refinancing does not, in most cases, mean taking additional equity out, thus LTV should not change for the majority of refis.
I don’t know anyone who owns a car in Paris. The TCO is just stupid. People just rent one when they need it.
Do you have a fan forced oven?

Fluid bed roasters dissipate the smoke much faster compared to drum roasters. I used to use a small fluid bed with some concertina tubing and a lot of filters to pipe the smoke outdoors. That tubing got very dirty. I never saw any smoke from it. But you can smell it and it’ll trip your smoke detector.

I’ve never heard of any one recommending the oven as a first attempt. Usually it’s a pop corn maker.

I’ve used several home roasters. Getting one with an afterburner is the way to go unless you have extremely good ventilation or powerful range hood that vents outdoors.
Economists talk a lot about externalities. After all, they invented the term.

They also have many ways for dealing with them.
The deflation from massive destruction of the 2008 crash is still with us and the current apparent inflation is just a transient result of supply-chain disruptions and now Russia's aggression on Ukraine. Corporations are also taking advantage of the news cycle to exercise some of their newfound pricing power, which they are already finding is transient - see the largest retailers, Target and WalMart crashing because they'll need to be using deep discount sales for months to clear inventory.

So, that inflation is already crashing back into deflation, as seen in a range of asset price declines and the corp behavior just mentioned. The central banks have been trying to reflate since almost a decade and a half ago, and it still isn't working. Anti inflation-measures now will make it worse.
I wish they would wipe accounts. Instead it will be kept probably forever and your backup email will be spammed forevermore. I started creating an account more than a decade ago. Maybe entered my birthdate and university and stopped. I get so many facebook emails and cannot stop it and I never used it. I don't have the password to recover and im sure it would be flagged if i tried.
I'm not even arguing that growth will continue. I'm arguing that a correction is happening, it's probably a good thing some capital is being wiped out, but we aren't in a scenario where we'll likely see cascading failures across the entire financial system.

If by the end of the year things are 'reset' to ~2019... that sucks for some investors, it sucks for people who got options grants in the last couple years, it might negatively affect the job market some, but it's not doom and gloom. Four years ago was a perfectly workable amount of capital, reasonable valuations, decent salaries, etc.

This is optimistic. They'll lampoon you and call you hypocrites for claiming to be helpful but not doing the zillions of things they have in mind, while giving the unfriendly incumbent a pass.
I spent the time to learn to use Linux effectively, and I still want to use something else.
I’ve actually found my cursive to be much more reliable to OCR. I think it’s because I explicitly learned cursive when I picked up fountain pens as an adult, as a result my letter forms are consistent. Maybe not “correct”, but consistent.

I even went through a period where I used the “long s” in my script, and I was able to get that to OCR just fine after some training.
Query Limit +1 and then check the presence of the last item (Limit +1 item). Never use `count`. They are usually slow, and you might need to add more filters in the future. I will add this to the article.

Feels a lot like my short stint as a Libertarian. Nothing was ever good enough so you get nowhere. There’s some comfort in that I think, because your ideas never really get tested and you have no burden of compromise.

It’s possible, even likely that a company that fully embraces the purist perspective on right to repair isn’t viable due to a variety of constraints.
FB employee here.

Instead of assuming they don't care about you, assume scale and sometimes incompetence. Things happen, people are striving to be better, but scale comes with pain sometimes, sadly.

At sufficiently large scale, there'll be people who have bad experience with the platform. The teams are always working on improving it, and security of accounts are obviously important, but sometimes things go wrong for some unforeseen circumstances like in this case.
Visualization of a code base (using anything) is absolutely a must for System comprehension. You need to look at both the Static structures/call graphs (use Doxygen, any UML tool, CFlow/Codeviz etc.) and Dynamic (i.e. Runtime) call graphs (Use profiler call graph, Debug Tracing within the App. etc.) for a code base. Printout relevant diagrams/graphs and liberally add notes as reqd.
Hey thanks for the feedback. I will update the article.
It's just an expenditure that won't produce any profit. The technical term for this is "waste."

The only way this would not be waste is if fixing it would do something to reduce the amount of ill will towards facebook which is quite intangible and unlikely to add up to covering the costs. But who knows what calculations are being made, or how they may change in the future.
I re-read the parent comment and I see why you're confused. It was awkwardly worded. "Older" and "younger" are confusing ways to put it.

The fact is, simultaneous observations don't necessarily mean simultaneous events. If you hear 2 people shouting at the same time, but one person is very far away and one person is near, you can assume the person farther away actually shouted first. The reason this happens is the different delay across different distances.

The distances have to be much greater to notice the difference with light compared to sound. But compared to the expanse of the universe, light actually travels quite slowly. If the sun disappeared, we wouldn't see it disappear on Earth for 8 minutes (that's how long it takes light to reach Earth). Essentially, we are seeing the Sun as it was 8 minutes in the past.

The effect is even greater outside our solar system and even greater beyond our galaxy. We see stars and galaxies as they were, not just minutes but years and years in the past. Some stars that we see now have certainly already reached the end of their life, exploded into a supernova and collapsed. We just haven't seen it yet. The light from those events haven't reached us yet.

Everything we see is of something as it was in the past. Even though we are seeing all the stars and galaxies simultaneously, the farther away it is, the farther into the past we are observing.
Is there a video of that? The tracks sound really good, the claim that it's solo and realtime is almost unbelievable.

I used Palm Pilots in college and got very proficient with Graffiti, to the extent that it became a pseudo-shorthand for me when taking pen-and-paper notes in class.

Of course, I also had a Newton MP2000 (later upgraded to 2100) that I used in labs to input data to the native spreadsheet program, imported the resulting graphs into the native word processor for the writeup, and stopped by on the way back to the dorm to print it out wirelessly, all before anyone else sat down at their computers. That felt like magic.

But even a non-recourse foreclosure tanks your credit rating and makes it difficult to rent or buy another home, right?
If they have the money to hire you and they have pent-up growth that refactoring will unlock, that really sounds like close to an ideal path for a startup to take. They're literally paying down their tech debt by paying to hire you. Maybe ideal would be a little earlier so it doesn't block growth, but yeah. In my experience way more startups have died from premature optimization
metamask with login with wallet, i assume, is what they mean.
I strongly suggest not doing this since the application will be implementing `offset` in that scenario. This is the same as having Page-based pagination but with a cursor that acts a filter/sorting blob.
A lot of it depends on the complexity and the technology stack.

Microservices based architecture with massive amounts of microservices and other service dependencies, its a pain to do more than local unit testing and mocks.

Are you using FaaS or a lot of other cloud features? Also difficult to fully test locally. Extract as much logic out of the cloud dependant code.

Often there will be sub-sections of large apps that can be run locally.

And if the only way to test is in production hopefully they practice some form of limited rollout so you can control who adopts the changes or similarly some form of optional feature flags that are used to enable the new behavior until it can become a new default. If their release model is "We are so good it goes live for everyone all at once" then that tends to make for a stressful release days.
> scale and sometimes incompetence.

This would mean that automation is built for trust, not for "don't call us anytime".

Everything facebook so far has automated when it comes to customers is actively helping scammers taking over accounts more easily, rather than helping actual real people that are who they say they are.

But, facebook's incentive is ad business, that's why things like this will never get prioritized.
Because wages don’t usually go up in lockstep with inflation so you have reduced spending power in the short term which a long term debt doesn’t help out with.

When the choice is pay for gas to get to work or feed the kids nobody cares they are benefiting on their 30 year mortgage because of inflation.
> Not sure why this is often labeled a blockchain-specific problem ... This means that online security itself would be threatened

In fact, all forms of security would be compromised. However, quantum cryptography is a thing. For example, China recently launched an actual, working, "ultra-secure" satellite communication system based on quantum crypto (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/china-reaches-new...).

A fully realized quantum computer would be able to factor prime numbers in linear team using Shor's algorithm, and therefore would break the assumptions public-key cryptography at currently used key sizes. My rough understanding is that quantum cryptography is magic that provides an answer to this problem, so that if/when quantum computing is advanced enough to break all classical cryptography, there will also be a secure quantum based cryptographic capability to counter that threat.

I don't know if there is work on applications of quantum cryptography to blockchain specifically. Seems like a very interesting question.
After IPO, large index funds are picking up these de-SPAC companies. So, I think its not just "greedy gamblers" who are exposed to losses - conservatively invested retirees are taking losses too.
How, Where are they are going to find the employees? Remember that half of the baby boomer retired. I think that the US is facing 20 years of tight label market. Especially if globalization is on its way out.
Regarding this:

what it also doesn't have is a way to say when the file has ended

Is this not the stated purpose of TLS close-notify as described in the gemini specification? [1] Given that it follows a one-request per connection, this is a good signal for end-of-file, no?

As per RFCs 5246 and 8446, Gemini servers MUST send a TLS `close_notify` prior to closing the connection after sending a complete response. This is essential to disambiguate completed responses from responses closed prematurely due to network error or attack.

> Instead of assuming they don't care about you, assume scale and sometimes incompetence.

I think we do assume scale when we pass harsh judgments on large corporations.

At sufficiently large scale there will be employees that just don't care about their users. It doesn't mean every individual at Facebook is like this, but Facebook as a corporation, and a certain percentage of employees, do not care about the users. That's not to cast judgment on you or your team, I believe there are people who genuinely try to help at all corps :)

Unfortunately, like you said, the reality is that as the scale of a product increases the quality will decrease on both sides of the transaction for some people.
> eyes should be taking in hand and limb movement information

Is this true? Even as an amateur musician I find I'm able to play effectively without looking at my instrument. I know professional musicians who often close their eyes while playing.

Or did you mean looking at other musicians' hands and limbs?
I am not sure ics invites will still function universally in a decade and our our attitude toward today's phones might resemble then how we regard a PalmPilot today, but I am sure this plain text file system will continue to work.

Thanks for making something useful that will still be functional in a decade.

I think they are saying that is /why/ the capability exists, but in this case the capability is being used beyond its intended scope.
The last point is important. In my experience it's mostly about status. RSEs are always seen as inferior to researchers (research scientists) who supposedly come up with the "big ideas" while RSEs merely implement the stuff they're told to do.

In reality the line is much blurrier. There can be no innovation and iteration without implementation of ideas and the RSE work is just as important.

But unless this view changes, nobody wants to be an RSE.
Not like an idea means your company is strong. You can literally do a blank check IPO where you have no company and no product
No, you should definitely assume they don't care. As soon as they can no longer extract profit from you, the economic incentive for them to care simply vanishes. To believe otherwise would be completely foolish.

If you want to put a positive spin on things, you can assume that their intention is to not let spammers overrun the platform, or kick off legitimate users, as a matter of protecting their brand integrity. The costs of being 100% effective at this are prohibitive due to diminishing returns in any such enterprise. Within the organisation there are probably a great many people who would love to help an embattled user, trapped in the Kafkaesque nightmare of having to deal with the corporation. It's just a matter of jumping up and down and screaming loudly enough. You can chose to see that as a positive example of the kindness of humans, even humans who work in gigantic corporations, or you can chose to see it as an example of offloading costs on to the consumer to protect profits. Tomato/tomato.
No disrespect intended at the users, but in my experience this is full of a bunch of just-out-of-uni wanna-be founders, and not actual founders with experience. I closed my account after spending a few months looking for a co-founder.
The whois check for a domain literally contains when it will expire. You can do this one time (combined with an MX lookup) while the email is added.

And knowing the ASN of a domain is also quite helpful. If anything changes (e.g. geolocation of ASN or different domain registrar) you can easily force the user to confirm this while they are already logged in.

There's a ton of research to support my point, easy to find if you're interested.

But you need look no further than the effects of solitary confinement for evidence.

Humans require interaction and constant feedback for mental health.
I think they mean not in a VM, and instead using some job manager like slurm or condor. Typically users wouldn't have superuser privligles precluding the use of thigns like docker, which is why Singularity exists.
WXMODEM is actually "windowed XMODEM", named because it uses a "window" for packet transmission, letting the sender send multiple packets without an acknowledgement. IIRC, this is a technique similar to ZMODEM's, but it's simpler to implement. The very few times I used it back in my BBS days -- yes, I am that old -- it was (by dialup modem standards) very, very fast.
What do you mean by "most countries"? The only country that matters is the US.
Tried to help out a charity that got their ad account hacked. Thousands of dollars spent. No way to get the money back from FB so they ended up doing a charge back. Can't get any response from Meta at all. Every single support option dead ends into a form that never gets a response, an unhelpful robot, or an unhelpful support page.
Thank you for all the helpful information!
It’s unclear to me what you mean here. Are “people” and “they” the same group?
> solved by Web3.

To the extent that web3 is even well defined, no it absolutely doesn't. The blockchain space right now is rife with scams and people getting stuff stolen from their wallets. At best it makes it harder for the average user to understand how to be secure and at worst it changes this scenario from "I lost my facebook account" to "I lost control of every asset I own and my entire identity".
FB doesn't care.
> I don't think we're in for a "correction"

What, then, is a correction?
Pretty cool. Congrats on getting launched!

While I thought a favorites, browse, and top smoothies section would be cool... I read your comment about not knowing backend development yet, so your current implementation makes a lot of sense. I'm actually a huge fan of simple client-side sites that aren't over-engineered. Those are the kinds of things I do when I'm bored... try to make a simple, but useful, little site that is basic enough to run off GitHub pages. If I can do it in less than 100 lines, that's also a win.

The cool thing about the project you chose is that it has a lot of room to grow if you decide to take it in that direction, and if not, your MVP is still a useful site.

That’s just like… your opinion man.

Some of us who do care are also working in domains where we need really high concurrency, where Elixir frequently is the best tool, ecosystem, etc. for the job. Elixir has a great ecosystem and tooling; I’ve found it to be a joy to work in.

Dialyzer is a must for me; I wrote above that it’s a love/hate relationship, but it’s something. I’d enjoy a more strongly typed language to work with for sure.
Me too! The entire heap of the Wasm env is up for inspection and mutation. If your data structures are stable, then they can be moved across envs, or use accessors from both sides. Fun stuff.
> invest in a personal blog hosted on your own domain.

It appears that's how the problem arose in the first place.
It's not just about the reason, but other details too. Does "we'd love to release them" mean "we just mean more time", "there's a 50/50 chance we'll be able to release them", or "we'd love to but it's a long shot". If they are going to come out, will it be in weeks, months, or years?
The "Pascal-like" elements are the contribution of Robert Griesemer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Griesemer), who studied in Zurich and is also a co-creator of Go. The syntax has the curly braces and other C-family elements to appear more familiar (plus nobody really wants to write "begin ... end" all the time), but the declaration syntax is also Pascal-style ("x int" instead of "int x"). What reminded me most of Pascal when I first saw it was the ":=", but it has a different meaning in Go than in Pascal.

...and "really famous veteran language designers" wouldn't become famous veterans if they wouldn't learn something along the way.
Both. It allowed me to get the business off the ground through capital asset purchases and it provides an operating loan, so to speak, to afford inputs. The figures I speak of are net income, so the "operating loan" is paid back before reaching those figures. As farming is, by definition, an investment, not a job, it is implied that the income is the ROI on the capital investment.
Sometimes the data is so big, and performance is critical that you don't have any other option than not to use offset.
Just to clarify, by pager I meant like "less", not like the physical object that makes noises when called.
The micro service I was testing locally connected to remote services either via an https end point or via service discovery. It didn’t have to run in a container at all or be run remotely. If it communicated via messages, it simply read from or wrote to the queue using local IAM credentials.

If you’re developing locally to none public endpoints, use a VPN or develop within an IDE hosted on AWS behind a VPC.

Why does the app you’re testing run differently in a container than outside a container?

Standard disclaimer to expose my biases not to do the whole “appeal to authority thing”: I work in ProServe at AWS (cloud app development consultant). But I did the same thing when I was working in the real world. My specific job looks just like a senior enterprise dev + a shit ton of yaml, HCL, draw io diagrams and PowerPoint slides.

The other bias I have is that I work for the only company where I never have to worry about an AWS bill and I can spin up ridiculous remote EC2 based development environments when needed.

But I also didn’t have many constraints when I was the de facto “cloud architect” at a 60 person startup.
Reversing the schematics for those appliances would have been a laughably simple exercise for any competitor.
Not as much. I still don't understand why the fed pumped the market when companies literally couldn't expand because workers were locked up.
Lazer huh? Not surprising. The CEO lied on his application to the thiel fellowship and sketch Russian investment money can only go so far. Parents were Florida real estate investors, so all the fawning press about self made child genius billionaire were eye-rollingly asinine. Iirc there was a major force reduction about a year before the SPAC.
