This is a pretty good explanation but it's missing one detail: the laws.

A monad is an applicative functor which is a functor. Each of these concepts in the hierarchy comes with a set of laws which must be obeyed. For example, all functors (which define an operation, fmap) must obey 2 laws:

Identity

fmap id == id

Composition

fmap (f . g) == fmap f . fmap g

All instances of Functor must obey these laws. Furthermore, since every Monad is also a Functor, all instances of Monad also obey these laws (in addition to extra laws).
The ASML machines Intel uses use EUV tech wich ASML acquired through their acquisition of Cymer, California and use licensed tech from Sandia Labs, also a US lab, meaning the US has full veto rights over to whom ASML gets to sell their EUV machines (spoiler alert, not to China).
Your "worst case" depends greatly on who the select group is. Is it movie studios making 9 figure budgets, or is it any obsessed person who can figure out how to find and install software.

Obviously, it's hard to imagine many situations like that, but you can imagine a process that required a 8-figure quantum supercomputer.
Although this post is largely focused on our integration with Slack, we have a standalone Web platform that does the exact same. We have quite a few companies (especially MS Teams shops) run incidents solely from there.

This also serves as a backup when Slack goes down, users can continue using Rootly (top 5 most common questions we get).

How exactly is "intel" a monopoly when Advanced Micro Devices Inc. is also American?

Does fab mean factory here?
They're all a part of the NEMA standard. The different plugs denote different capacities of the circuit and the requirements of the load. That way you can't accidentally plug a 30A device in a 15A circuit or you can't plug a 120V device into a 240V plug. If the wiring to your stove top is only 30A but you bought a 50A stove, you shouldn't be able to plug it in and just hope the circuit breaker trips before the wires melt to let you know you did it wrong.

Its not like there's a plug for Samsung TVs, a different plug for Sonos sound bars, a different plug for a Sony alarm clock, a different plug for a Singer sewing machine, etc. They're all going to be a NEMA 5-15 plug since all of these things are ~120V and use less than 15A.
Yup, small conservations efforts can make a real difference.

Leaving sections of our yard a little more wild, and bird and insect population went up, this includes lightning bugs, which we continue to get in abundance (we're in a reasonably urban area).

Jonathan Franzen wrote a great article on this that went viral (considering the topic) a few years ago https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/04/06/carbon-capture . He basically argues that the cataclysmic worries about climate change should not paralyze us to make changes that promote local conservation, which have real tangible benefits for biodiversity on a small scale.

They'll be fine with some batteries, and the poles are already prime spots due to permanently shadowed craters holding ice.

Nobody is going to bother with reverse engineering your algorithm, or even bother targeting you individually, when it is orders of magnitudes more likely your passwords will be revealed via a garden variety database breach/leak. That low stakes online account you have? That's also the one likely to have their user account/password database stolen, which was stored plaintext.

Basically the threat model I am worried about is: random website gets hacked and loses its password database. So if criminals hack two such sites and correlate email addresses, they will see two essentially fully random passwords for me. If that happens to you, they might notice a pattern in website url and prefix/postfix characters.
The alternative is that they take $5.5B from France and you lose the jobs.

> The insect apocalypse is already here, and we are fucked.

Wasn't there a post a year or so back on HN that basically said it's a measurement problem, not an actual insect apocalypse? I'll have to try to find that. Seems like I can never know what to believe any more.

I'd also want to know ... what does it matter? Are we seeing measurable knock-on effects from fewer insects? We should be, if they're critical to our ecosystems. If we're not, then... do we care? Seems like a legitimate question. Not that we want them to go extinct necessarily, but it could be worth tempering the panic.
> interacts with Twitch's IRC

So yet again another API without any of the features except chat. Sigh. Seriously, these IRC "APIs" barely bring anything to the table. Call it "YATICA" for "Yet Another Twitch IRC Client API" or something like that. Twitch.js suggests an API for Twitch, which this isn't. I am getting super tired of it.

> Yaaay. More regulation. I'm so sick of governments regulating what's not theirs to begin with.

> The older I get, the more libertarian I get. Or anarchist. I don't know yet.

Probably Anarchist if you really feel that way.

And while I tend to agree, the truth is that regulation itself isn't bad at this phase, you can still use Bitcoin (and I presume other alts) as it was intended to be used: decentralized and p2p.

It requires a bit of legwork on your end: use things like BISQ or buy locally at a meetup or ideally earn it for goods/services. In which case you are free to use it on the network as you please. Selling it for fiat is the issue, but that is why growing this ecosystem to be a closed loop system matters more than ideological zealotry. And for that some concessions are necessary, regardless of how I may personally feel.

I obviously have mixed feelings about this of course, I'm an AnCap with environmental leanings, and the truth is we need it be regulated if it is to continue to offset the energy sector in a meaningful way and reduced the impact that fiat has on the Environment.

We already reached the tech savvy demographic and trailblazers, around 2015-2017 in my opinion, all that are left is the uninitiated who will not get involved until there are clear paths for them to have it on their balance sheets like Tesla/SpaceX/Microstrategy do which is probably the next wave of adoption.

Once that occurs, we can begin to see platforms offer seamless platforms to utilize fiat and BTC/crypto options, obviously they will all be monitored and taxed, but that is the tradeoff about critical mass.

I drank the purist Kool-aid about Hyperbitcoinization ushering the great reset and disruption for most of my time in this space, but to be honest given how the International financial system is fraying at the seams and inflation keeps increasing and we have continued shortages making supply chains strain beyond their capacity. I'd rather compromise on some aspects in order to avoid what could be a total cataclysmic event and all the needless Human suffering and death after COVID and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The transition is what matters, I'd argue Central Bank Digital Currency are an inferior system and will be a at best a secondary or even tertiary aspect of the Global Digital Economy if only based on merit.

My fear isn't with what this tech can endure anymore, it is what Human behaviour can tolerate under worsening conditions and no viable path to pursue.

Want proof? Look at China who banned Bitcoin but mining still continues and their are still 90 something full nodes securing the Network.
I'd imagine it won't replace the entire supply chain in one go (although I think quite a bit of semiconductor tooling is already manufactured in the EU), but I think it's a step on the path towards that. Which is probably a good thing considering how fragile it appears some of our hyper-efficient globalised supply chains can be

Posts on HN about some payment provider robbing somebody blind and destroying their life's work are a common occurrence here.

We're not too far gone from wrong-think protesters in Canada having their bank accounts seized by the government.

But crypto has no use case. Gotcha.
Some of these accounts may be services you sank real money into. Say, Steam or iTunes or whatnot. Or maybe you've built a reputation out of these accounts. Maybe you lost access to a blog or some other thing where you wrote or stored important stuff that matters to you.

If your stance is "hey, it doesn't matter if I lose all access to my online life" then yes, I can see why this wouldn't be a problem for you.

This article wasn't meant for you then, but for the rest of us.

I catch myself asking questions like this, but then I remember how much tech from before my lifetime I can identify. Carriages, crank-started automobiles, biplanes, muskets, fire-starting bows, spinning wheels, washboards, etc.

I know there are people who carefully avoid any media that isn't obviously by and about the present moment, and they'll continue to be clueless about the past like they always have been, but there will also be plenty of people who can identify a CRT into the 22nd century.
German investment again going to foreign companies, the very opposite of strategic sovereignty. The Trump era should be enough evidence that there are no friends in geo-politics, just temporary alliances of convenience.
I can confirm this. Context: part of the engineering team that worked on the chat infrastructure around this time period.

The history is basically:

- v1: IRC API to process scoped servers (Python backend, haxe front end)

- kept API as we migrated backed to go (via a terrible course through nodejs); this version allowed all participants to be in a room together (ie cross process servers).

- once most of background was on go we migrated the front end (can’t remember to what)

- backend then got revved a lot (a specialized team was convened to work on chat infrastructure full time)

I left in 2017, no idea what has happened since.
True, but sadly, if you defund Big Physics, it doesn't mean the money will go to 1000 experiments. It's more likely that nothing will be funded.

Same reason why nobody was able to effectively compete with YC: it's a lot less work for VCs to fund a few "big bets" than find 100 good early-stage startups. The VC strategy is a lot less effective, but they still earn their fees no matter what
If you use something like 1Password maybe setup an email address only you know about that you send yourself (from the new email) an encrypted zip with your 1Password Emergency Vault? Then you have 3 bits of data (4 if you don't save your master password which we can assume you know) protecting your backup: account name, account password, zip password, and vault master password.
Most places allow you to "bootstrap" back up from nearly nothing, but it can involve getting a copy of your original birth certificate from the county/hospital, etc.

This is also a reason why you should keep all expired IDs around in a safe location separate from your normal life; even an expired passport/driver license can help get the bureaucracy to get you setup again.

When you're in a situation like this, you're working to convince the person at the DMV counter that you're who you say you are, and expired IDs, along with utility bills, etc, can go very far.

Convincing a computer is much more difficult, which is the point of this article.

> But lets look at the syllabus for a 10 week quarter for the first UW CS course, Foundations of Computing [1] which also expects the students to layout their homework (proofs) in LaTex.

Your argument might make more sense if 311 were the first CS course, but it's not. You can easily verify that by looking at the course listings which reveals it has a prereq, CSE143, which has a prereq of CSE142. So short of skipping those, it's the third course at the earliest.

I have my 1Password emergency kit, with the password filled in, stored on a water-sealed USB drive[1] which I store in a fire box in my house. The combo should mean, modulo a much hotter fire than most typical house fires, that when the fire department puts out the house I can just cut open the melted fire box and extract the very wet but still functional drive. I haven't tested this, of course, and I might take the above advice and put a second copy somewhere else.

That is spot on. We're investing in our Web platform which has the exact same experience and quite a few companies running incidents from there.

But the Slack ecosystem has been great for us so far. Easy to develop on and fairly flexible in terms of what we can do. I think the most challenging part is going through the review cycle, can take longer than expected when you're constantly shipping new features!

> I would have measured the time directly inside of the Doom allocator

Exactly! The author already has all the infra necessary (rdtsc for each call). Measuring time inside the game would be more accurate and simpler. Why did the author do things this way? I must be missing something.

(By the way, the author even seems to know about this issue since they added code that simulates using the allocated blocks (touching one byte for every allocated 4k), but that does not feel like it's nearly enough.)

> grab the call stack as well

Maybe this part could be done with no code with VTune / Linux perf? Sure, those only gather stochastic measurements (so not ideal for the original latency measurement). But to get a rough idea of where the costly allocations come from, it could be an easy way.
Most ships in The Expanse travel under much lower (1/6-1/2 G) accelerations because they didn't magic away all fuel consumption just made the fusion drives fantastically efficient. As you get to poorer ships more time is spent "on the float" between target and destination. Even our main character's ship doesn't accelerate all the time while travelling.
I don't understand how "I love cars" has become the "conservative" position in the US, and "walkable cities" has become the "liberal" one.

Like, consider StrongTowns. It's lowkey conservative, but it's all about walkability. And, y'know, fiscal responsibility.

Or just think about all the examples of nice walkable cities. They're old. They were built before WW2. Where is the ideal? Europe. Or, colonial towns in the Americas. Colonial. You think this is far-left? It'd fit comfortably into my "imaginary" if I were a monarchist! Suppose I wanted to pepper the countryside with quaint English villages, each with a pub and a railway station. I could do that as a neo-Victorian.

What is so "conservative" about cars? They're wasteful. They do nothing to cultivate personal virtue. They're big fat degenerate things, which have led to a degeneration of the built environment. They cultivate disability, like Rascal goddamn scooters.

The most reactionary thing we could do would be to rip up all the highways that had been built in the name of "progress".

The whole point of conservatism is to take inspiration from the past, and the past didn't have a bunch of debauched and fattening living-rooms-on-wheels. That's just Boomer-tier Republican nonsense, which is degenerate, not conservative. Conservatives don't need Big Gulp cupholders.

The Sprawl fits into no traditional way of life, anywhere. Build a Shinto shrine to your ancestors. Don't insult them with parking lots and Walmarts. It's unworthy of you, and it's no inheritance for your descendants. It's just a heap of garbage.
TSMC, Samsung are US companies?

And what is wrong with Europe propping up a US company? You shifted the goal post from your original comment ("When will we ever learn to build up our domestic tech industry?"). I showed you that the US is doing exactly that, and now you jump to some other argument.
It happened to me on a micro-usb phone, which is probably what makes me a bit warey of them.
I store them in Keepass files and then bury them/give to a friend/save in the cloud/whatever. It's just a single password that you remember, with no reliance on an external authenticator or like. And if someone finds your files, they're useless without the password.

If you store them on cloud, you should obviously do so on a service with no 2FA and a password you remember. The first priority is that you can access it anywhere and the main protection comes from the encrypted Keepass file.
Intel was going to buy them anyway, regardless of where the fab is built.
I was worried this would happen to me. I made an entry in my notes app. "Doctor Harry Bottomsmith 801-421-8623 9 am Friday" where 4218 was my PIN.

That's saved me a few times when I blanked out. This note, in theory, will look completely innocuous in case anyone gets access to my notes.
For non-technical purchasers, it makes sense to price by the value the organisation will get out of the tool. However for tools that technical users are involved in you have to fight against the "I could build this myself" factor.

There are lots of tools that are basically CRUD apps, or maybe CRUD with a chat interface in this case, which are fundamentally straightforward to build a first-pass version of. I'm sure the product here is far better than a first-pass version, but it's an uphill battle to justify that when the pricing is on the value to the user, rather than based on the cost to build.

Another complicating factor for this market in particular is that there are often two types of users: regular and infrequent. In my experience tools like this would be used heavily by the engineering team, but there was value in having everyone in the org have access to the tool. There may be 10x the number of non-engineers, but they're often worth 1/10th or less to have on the platform. Each person isn't worth having by themselves but having everyone there is worth something. Nickel-and-diming customers on the basis of lots of users who rarely use the platform isn't great.

Edit: also, don't have a pricing page with no pricing on it.
