It's a bit easier to follow in the video since he talks from the slides more than presents them but as built up earlier in the deck (11-15) the router7 system us is written in pure Go, i.e. there is no other userspace, which comes with several neat advantages over a traditional system but he wanted to merge his routing box and server box as part of the upgrade needed to support 25G. Later (20-21) he talks about how all of the other software already had popular Go alternatives that could be easily dropped in except rsync and how there was a kludge way to get rsync on the box but it broke the advantages of doing the router7 Go only approach to do so and as a result he set out to implement enough of rsync to meet his needs.

The journey and results are much more interesting than the why though. Router7 has some interesting diagnostic capabilities and workarounds specific to issues he's had from the ISP. Also the implementation of rsync itself is interesting in that it outperformed canonical rsync of the time doing the same task without "better performance" being a goal while writing it. There are limitations with this implementation though, it was only made to meet the particular use case not be a general rsync replacement and it doesn't have the latest protocol/hashing changes rsync has which allowed rsync to retake the performance lead since.

The short sum up would be "because he had an open router userspace written in pure Go and rsync didn't have a suitable pure Go implementation at the time". No taking over the world or anything like that just good ol' hacking for personal use.
For #4, this is actually frustratingly difficult, but if your constraints are not adding to the complexity, your best bet is to not, and just set your cookies to the domain. But if you like, one approach that would work:
- Cert with SAN
- CNAME's on the CF distribution
- S3 Bucket
And the sneaky bit: Use a cloudfront lambda to redirect "wrong" Hosts - comes with a cost, but it's super marginal.

Otherwise, your best approach is sadly a second cloudfront distribution with a different bucket (or bucket path) that just hosts a redirecting index key because you end up fighting stupid AWS design decisions.

Not that I've ever wasted stupid amounts of time on this particular problem...
I love the premise! It really pokes fun at how Wordle (and other popular games) are actually pretty hard to lose if you play anywhere above some very low threshold of effort/ability.

> it would also be cool to have a “Valid Solutions Remaining” feature

That would be awesome. I suppose the biggest challenge would be to enumerate possible solutions in tree form to allow DFS or BFS searching.

Thanks for sharing!
Don't come to Amsterdam. The number of utterly silent and still quite heavy vehicles on the streets there is very large, you probably won't get across from central station to dam square without being hit. A 5 minute walk.

I tell you "These two envelopes contain money. One of the envelopes contains twice as much money as the other one. Pick one.". You pick one. I tell you the one you picked contains $60. You've now determined the amount in your selected envelope -- should you switch?
I think so. My work is uncorrelated to the financial health of the company that hires me, so I just don't care about it. I focus on my work.

When my work is done, I focus on my hobby (learning to code). I can now launch my own projects, albeit much slower than if I went full-time. I just don't want the stress of knowing where my next paycheck is coming from, no matter how big it is :)
The fact that similar legislation is widespread is not a defense. These laws create monopolies, with the "justification" that not doing so would cause too much competition and thus high prices...
It's hard to answer a question without your definition of success.

The USA has a much different idea of what "success" means given the consumerism and materialism.

While you are explaining principles of "successful people", many people follow these principles in their daily lives and aren't "successful" by definition, but are "successful" by their own definition.
There has been a lack of transparency with their server code. Very late pushes (>1 year) when they were adding their cryptocurrency, and now some black box code to "eliminate spam" [2]. By contrast, Matrix has always had master public and allows users to run their own servers either privately or connected to the federation, something not really possible with the Signal app family.

One roadblock for GNOME on mobile is a proper maps/navigation app. On android there exist a couple using openstreetmaps (like organic maps) but no offline maps & navigation programme for Linux.

Anyway I hope things will improve in the next year and even more hopefully I'll be able to help out.

How does one leverage to buy more real estate? Refinance one house to pay down the next one? I just went through a home loan process and this would never work because they look at total LTV and credit reports...

I like this one better, the undo button is a nice touch.
I worked at a startup a number of years back where we had some pretty cool timeline software. I always tried to push using git and github integrations as our goto market product. I got shutdown though. :) We also were integrating Slack and pivotal tracker as well; it really was a novel way to look at all the data.

They never did find a product-market fit though. It really was more a case of analysis paralysis versus not finding a fit. We never really even attempted to launch a product the two years I was there. I think they could have found a fit if they took more of the lean approach to try something, get feedback, and iterate.
Ah - you didn't need robustness, you needed flow control?
What do you mean to say here?

But that's expected behavior for a language model (especially VAEs), where's the novelty? In a VAE, the vectors are probabilistic in the latent space so this is basically the NLP version of the classic VAE facial image generation where you can tweak the parameters to emphasize or de-emphasize a feature.
With all the hype about bionic-reading, I also wanted to experiment with it.
I built a POC for a combination of bionic-reading and spritz.

What do you think?
> As a meat eater, I understand I'm the driving force of this issue.

How did you come to that understanding? Did you dedicate your free time to studying the impact of meat eating, or was it part of your legally mandated education? A lot of people scrape by, barely able to make ends meet. They have children that require attention, or problems that require immediate action. They may have debts to pay, and no social safety net to help. At a fundamental level, they may have poor critical thinking skills. It's not realistic to expect every consumer to take the time to understand the consequences of every purchasing decision.

> A case can be made that not all industrial farms contribute to deforestation per se, but they are all part of a system that has a high cost for our environment.

But the package says it was humanely raised by family farms? Your trips to the grocery store are going to take a very long time if you need to do a supply chain analysis of every purchase.

If a person cuts down a tree for profit, and the removal of that tree is problematic, then that person is to blame. It doesn't make sense to blame someone many steps removed from the crime just because they, in a very indirect way, provided a very small incentive to commit the crime. The impact of the individual's consumption on the entirety of the industrial farming system is so small that, even if the individual consumer were to blame, they would be guilty of nothing more than the tiniest infraction. The issue with industrial farming arrises from the collective sum of demand, and thus requires a collective solution, i.e. centralized regulation.

The mobile desks are somewhat similar to "order pickers," a type of forklift-like vehicle where the operator rides on the lifting part instead of the chassis. Often used in warehouses with high-bay storage to allow staff to grab single items from up high without having to bring a palette down and put it back up.

There's a lot of interesting technology out there for high-density document storage. An example I'm fond of is the Kardex-Remstar Lektriever (what a name), which contains a continuous chain loop supporting a set of shelves. An operator enters a shelf number and the machine rotates the stacked loop of shelves to bring the requested one to the front of the machine. They're not so common for document storage these days (they were well suited to frequently-accessed documents like current contracts, which are always digitized these days) but remain common as small parts stores in manufacturing, e.g. for electronic components. They're available with built-in foam deluge fire suppression for this purpose.
Still a labor shortage and low unemployment rate. I am amazed that 20% isn't higher.
Every Western government is looking into it.
UK has already done it, many more to come.
grocery stores aren't a marketplace, they're a store. they purchase product from suppliers, and re-sell it. they're making the purchase and taking on the risk of stocking the competitor's product. if they can't sell that product, they're the ones taking a loss, not the supplier (generally speaking, some vendors get better terms than others).

the problem with a marketplace is that the marketplace isn't taking on any of the risk. google is just getting a cut of sales, so their incentive is to sell the product where they get the biggest cut and there's no self-interest in them treating anybody else fairly.
This is why Bitcoin makes so much sense as the base monetary layer. The Fed/Central Banks/Govts printing away to glory will then be like all of us - can't print your problems away and will need to streamline operations to cut graft and inefficiency.
Why the Y Combinator instead of the Omega-combinator?
Maybe I'm missing the point, but based on their example, what would be the difference between the Slack channel #annual-summit-tuesday-night-catering and the Zulip topic #annual-summit - tuesday night catering?

I get the point of having topics (less people involved. Kinda like subreddits)... but in Slack I create channels targeted for very specific topics (like the #annual-summit-tuesday-night-catering one) and they work just fine.
Because the point of this legislation is to try to do some harm reduction around waves of opiate deaths. It's not about liberalization for the sake of principles, but for a specific public health purpose.

In any case magic mushrooms use and trafficking is already mostly ignored by police is my understanding. I've heard there are shops operating in the open in B.C. The mushrooms themselves grow all over the place there, too.

More often than not it's not a mistake.

Very simply put, fighting abuse is very asymmetrical and a lot of the approaches just even the playfield. They will make you put in more effort for them to put in effort.

Both of our older iPads(and a very slow Kindle Fire) have become devices solely used for streaming video: Netflix/YouTube TV.
Great idea! And a good opportunity to do end-to-end onboarding+offboarding integration tests to make sure everything is cleaned up too.
> Your account violated our terms of service specifically fraud.

Honestly, this phrase is raising phishing alarm bells in my head, though xxdesmus said it's `likely legitimate`. The punctuation and capitalization is lacking, and really makes it sound... off.

Edit: I originally thought this was an email, but upon reading the post again it sounds like a response to OP's support ticket. There's a lot less effort involved in responding to a support ticket or chat message than the effort involved in writing up email templates, so my point doesn't quite apply here.
If its like with whey, its in such abundance that they pay people to buy it. Either way, the revenue stream would be very little higher because of the huge abundance. You're much better off simply eating less pig meat.
Tangentially, I am amazed at the data in your source about how fast population growth is leveling off in the US. In 2020, the census projected US population to continue growing and cross 400 million by 2058 [1]. This projection accounts for the observed trends in falling fertility rate and assumes relatively constant rate of immigration:

>By 2030, immigration is projected to become the primary driver of population
>growth: more people are projected to be added to the population through net
>international migration than from natural increase. The projected shift to net
>international immigration as the primary driver of population growth is the
>result of falling fertility rates and the rising number of deaths in an aging
>population, not because of a projected increase in international migration.

I guess the pandemic broke a lot of those assumptions. We will see if they hold in the long run though.

Thanks for reminding me about Lockhart's Lament, I had almost forgotten, but I agree with everything in it.

Maybe a solution to Lockhart's problem would be to actually do that, take the current state of the art of mathematics, what the doctors and professors are working on, do a topsort on all the prerequisites and make that the whole mathematics syllabus from beginning to end. As Salviati explains to Simplicio, the traditional educational milestones are irrelevant because most people forget them anyway and just use calculators. Someone coming out of school only knowing set theory will be no worse off than someone coming out of school knowing long division, because neither of them will actually do any long division, they will both use a calculator.
I am not particularly talking about the most recent iteration of the pension scheme which I can imagine being a lot more cut down and closer to traditional private pension schemes.

Largely talking about my experience seeing my parents'(30 year professors) pension who are in the Teacher's pension scheme along with other pension schemes.

From my perspective, I was blown away by the figures they were being given. With my points in regards to a potential drop in grants, and funding from students. I fail to see how the figures I saw will be sustainable going forward.
Public transit is single digit percentage of mode share, so the fact that it has that big of an impact actually implies that the energy savings are substantial.
"I had heard good things about them on here"

No, you did not hear good things about the biggest man-in-the-middle of the internet on here, and you're about to learn the tough lesson others have: don't trust Cloudflare with sensitive accounts or data.
My first thought upon reading this: what if DALL-E (or a similar AI) uncovers some kind of hidden universal language that is somehow more "optimal" than any existing language?

i.e. anything can be completely described in a more succinct manner than any current spoken language.

Or maybe some kind of universal language that naturally occurs and any semi-intelligence life can understand it.

Fun stuff!
Ah this is a different version of the problem. There are quite a few listed on the wikipedia page.

I believe the version you are talking about is just a simple equivocation.
In 2001 the US was at about 45 cell phones per 100 adults according to the ITU and statista.com (which may be the same dataset). Some other sites put it at 38% but unclear if total population or just US adults.

Regardless, hardly ubiquitous.
That hasn't been my experience in the last decade or so, and new people or people with different specialisations are indeed unlikely to be good at everything on the first day.

Before the overlap between development and operations there were multiple teams involved in every step, everything was slow and expensive and you'd be lucky to deploy once a week. After making sure that where overlap exists the people that have the skills to work in that area can do what they need to do (i.e. build, verify, release and instrument the systems they are responsible for) we get every team releasing every system multiple times per day in small increments. This is both faster, easier for everyone, and worth the ROI on people and tech far more than trying to invent borders and fiefdoms between hyper-specialised teams.
It's almost the same for me! I didn't touch original Wordle because I don't know enough of vocabulary. Gave Don't Wordle a try. I guessed the word with 3rd try T_T
This would be pretty interesting.

What in the actual fsck? Check out this list of companies ranked by the number of employees they have - https://companiesmarketcap.com/largest-companies-by-number-o.... Okay, Amazon is #2 - but notice the top 100 doesn't include Apple. There's a lot more to business than FAANG.
A small, mildly entertaining, anecdote about soda:

When Oracle acquired the company I was working for, they made the soda free. That is, Oracle made the soda dispensing machines simply dispense soda when you pressed a button.

The same company that had a self-service "I Quit" page.

Free soda is an indicator about how a company treats its employees, but perhaps not the best.
Mostly same here. UI makes life really easy for me.
I had a similar experience transferring a domain I registered with Namecheap to Cloudflare. They did not let me add the domain at all citing similar reason. Perhaps the previous owner of the domain was abusing it.
"making money by having stuff" is the basic move of capitalism. The stuff you have is called capital, and our economic system is at its core the "ism" of "having stuff".

I'm not disagreeing with you re. what I'd rather see us move towards, but there's a whole lot of existing money and power entrenched in the idea that having money is a great way to continue having money.
HA! I recorded one of those show ids in Hebrew at the time. Completely forgot about that. I am pretty sure all those recordings do exist somewhere.
Mason Rothert was doing all things radio there and it was beautiful to watch (and listen).
Cool. I guess I was wondering if it's so good, slack could build it in a single 2 week sprint (or a third party could just build a slack app/plugin). Creating a near-clone of a well-funded product to tweak one thing is existentially risky, but it sounds like Zulip has actually been around quite a while.
Oh yes, absolutely. This particular scheme is very heavily pre-funded (currently to ~30% of salary, which is why many employers want it dead) and is sustainable as long as your investment strategy isn't 'putting the money under the mattress'. Yes, residual investment risk falls on the universities collectively (by deliberate scheme design) but it's certainly not one of the over-promised schemes of the kind you note. In fact, it's status as a nominally private-sector scheme subjects it to heavy regulation specifically to ensure that the government doesn't get left holding the bag.

If you want far more detail than is sane, there was a 'Joint Expert Panel' set up by the employers organisation and the union to provide a way forward after the industrial action caused by the last attempt to abolish the scheme. Their report analyses USS in detail (rather than pension schemes in general) and is at https://web.archive.org/web/20220506092908/https://ussjep.or...
Show HN: ICal.Ninja - Embed Customized ICal Calendars on Your Website
Background: I'm an older, self-taught developer who was a team parent for my kid's sports team. I wanted to embed our Teamsnap ICal calendar in our team's Squarespace website only to find out that its kind of a pain in the ass. Yes, you can use Google Calendar to do it but the design looks about 15 years old.

So, a couple Fridays ago with a bottle of wine and some open source help from ICal.Net & FullCalendar.io, I got something working. Spent the last few weeks cleaning it up and adding in a subscription component. Hoping to break even on hosting.

I know this is a niche thing that I pretty much built to scratch my own itch. I anticipate tens (if not DOZENS!) of other potential users are out there...but, what the heck...you are supposed to "Just Ship It", right?? (https://kitze.io/posts/saddest-just-ship-it-story-ever)
