My story is pretty much identical, although some of the numbers are a bit different.

At 22 I was a massive 95 kg (210 lbs). I drank about 2 L of cola every day and decided commit myself to a "don't drink calories rule," and switched from regular Coke/Pepsi to Coke Zero/Pepsi Max. I made no other changes to my lifestyle and after 6-7 months was down to a non-overweight 70 kg (155 lbs).

16 years later (yikes!), I still drink too much soda: about 1-1.5 L of diet soda and about 1 L of water. I currently weigh 75 kg, but I think the extra mass comes from much more regular exercise.

I don't have any particular health issues, whatsoever, but after a few decades of daily soda abuse, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Workers going on a mass strike across the Easter Block countries in the "Solidarity" movement in the late 80s is how its generally viewed as being the beginning of the end of the soviet system.

The communist governments were put in a position where there were going to have to massacre their own people openly revolting in massive strikes.

I don't think Chinese government would survive another Tiananmen square incident.
It is true that that is of course faster. However, clang and GCC, both do release memory since with modern C++ software projects, it can take huge amounts of ram to compile them.

'Big Short' investor Michael Burry warns inflation will soar even higher
The evidence I cited:

1) Poor affordability/availability of 10GBE despite its big head start over 2.5GBE. (The 10GBase-T standard was released in 2006, while the 2.5GBase-T standard was released in 2016.)

2) The flurry of 2.5GBE products we are now seeing. The number of 2.5GBE products available now far exceeds the number of 10GBE products available.

3) Zero availability of PoE on the few 10GBE products that do exist despite the generic PoE standard being in place for nearly two decades.

4) The abundance of 2.5GBE PoE products.

Your explanation is "market forces", or in other words, it's cheaper to deploy 2.5GBE than 10GBE because you (may) need to upgrade your cabling when you switch to 10GBE. But is it really cheaper? 10GBE is the end game and we could be there now, but the "market forces" that would normally bring down costs aren't happening because of the artificial scarcity of available products. Cable is the least expensive element of networking hardware, and it may not even need to be upgraded in many cases. (Note that this situation is nearly identical to the transition from 100Base-T to 1000Base-T about 20 years ago.)

Paying for 2.5GBE infrastructure that will be obsolete (or is already obsolete) and then paying again just a few years later for 10GBE infrastructure does not save anybody money. Both SOHO and enterprise consumers will end up paying more. The winners are the network hardware producers.

For sure, Vercel was working on nested routes before Remix was a thing, as far as I know. A lot of people suggested it was lifted from Remix. It’s not a new idea at all and people have been asking for it for years.

Arguably there is nothing all that novel in either framework. We are constantly reiterating and rebuilding wheels, doing it a little better each time.

I’m glad to see the Remix take in things gaining steam though. It’s quite a bit less cognitive overhead than Next without any magical trade offs. Nothing ground breaking, but definitely better at things I care about.

Like most things, a blend of solutions would be ideal

In not especially offended, but it does rub me the wrong way when people make negative assumptions about others, then offer their advice.

To me it comes off as condescension, not actually help. If they wanted to help or cared, they would seek to understand first. Unsolicited and more importantly uninformed advice shows a disregard for the recipient.

It reminds me of legal advice threads where people give terrible advice because they are too busy speaking to even read the original post.

Re-read Lumost post, and then em-bee's unsolicited diagnosis and advice. They are absolutely making assumptions and suggesting a narrative about an uncollaborative and deficient marriage.

At the end of the day, people are free to post what they want, but having some community standards is what prevents things from devolving into rabble and insults.

For my part, I want to use that freedom to tell people that it is unproductive and generally considered rude to make unsolicited, uncharitable, and uninformed assumptions about the marriages of others. Moreso, because I think are giving out factually bad advice.
I'm not sure. I've moved most of my reading and reference material to e-ink (Kobo, I avoid Amazon in every way possible and de-DRM anything I can only find on them), and I think it's better than a LCD from a distraction perspective, but it lacks some of the "concrete physical location cues" of a real book.

The Shallows talked about how hyperlinks and such were a major distraction point in reading web articles, so I'd imagine e-ink is better for book form, but... no, I don't know for sure. Sorry.

I will say that people look at me funny when I tell them, after sending me an hour YouTube video on some topic, that I'd rather they send me the titles of three comprehensive books on it. If it's interesting to me, I'll read the books, and have a far better grasp on the topic than someone's biased, attention-focused video, though.

How the looming recession will hit house prices and buy-to-let landlords
I've heard this time and time again but I just don't buy it. The only similarity between Ruby and Elixir is syntax and even there I'd say it's a superficial likeness. Beyond that Elixir and Ruby are almost diametrically opposite. Elixir is functional/immutable whereas Ruby is mutable/OOP. Languages such as Elixir and Clojure were designed to counter the OOP trend and its mindless disregard for mutation. So, anyone who is really into The Ruby Way is going to have to disrobe before entering the temple of Elixir.
Knowing a lot of police officers and having worked with them for years to address gangs/gang violence among other things, I have to say that painting all law enforcement with one brush is not helpful or useful.

> Pretty interesting history behind the current status quo. Looks like GCC deliberately resisted an interoperable design in an attempt to exclude proprietary code integration. It's only natural that interoperable alternatives would emerge and threaten its dominance.

This hasn't been true for at least 10, maybe 15 years.

Mailing list development is very traditional; it's what git was initially designed around, with `format-patch` and `am` commands. People moving to Github and PRs is a generational shift thing, like using TikTok.

Are you so sure that work is really important? Most of that big tech stuff is some variation of a low quality attention sink, or similarly some kind of ad-tech that mines the personal information that gets used in said attention sink. [There is real stuff being worked on, but it's not the core focus]

I've worked a couple jobs that have had tangible real-world impact, and that has counted for a ton: keeping search and rescue helicopters in the air, and improving material science. Besides that, I think back to what I've contributed to, and it doesn't amount to much.

At this stage, I'm fairly selfish about work stuff: I need to learn and to get paid. If my work can have meaningful impact that's awesome, but very elusive.
Ha check out EVGR. Not winning anybody a Pritzker.
Wait. So gcc uses a linked list? OK, but why? If the whole point of #pragma once is to replace include guards, why would they use something as inefficient as a linked list (O(n^2) for this situation[a]) for that, but something quicker for include guards? That’s nonsense!

And then for each .c/.cpp file, the compiler has to do the whole rigamarole all over again because modules are too new for everyone to use.

I think this DHH and Jason Fried (37Signals of Basecamp fame) always felt really applicable to crypto:

37SIGNALS VALUATION TOPS $100 BILLION AFTER BOLD VC INVESTMENT

September 24, 2009—37signals is now a $100 billion dollar company, according to a group of investors who have agreed to purchase 0.000000001% of the company in exchange for $1.

When 97% of the coin holders bought in at 0.000001 cents, its really the 3% of retail investors buying on margin that push the price of the coin market cap which can lead to absurd market caps.

Market cap should be determined by 97% x $0.000001 + 3% x $30,0000. It should not be determined using 100% x $30,000.

The initial board is the starting axiom, and you want to prove (derive) a completely filled board. It's easier to think model-theoretically about games like this, but I've found that as I learn a logic puzzle over time, I build up a repertoire of rules I can apply. (In fact, for puzzles-masyu.com, I have a sound and mostly complete set of rules in my mind for the Medium difficulty and periodicals.)

The application of these rules typically produces a linear proof, because we augment the board state sequentially. But that's a human limitation, not a formal one. Since any rule that could be applied always can be applied (so long as there's a unique solution!), if you notice you can do two things from the same proof state, you can imagine a "rule of concurrency" that joins the results from multiple prior rules.

This kind of structure is even clearer in Picross 3D: Round Two, which has two different colors that interact very loosely. You can often work purely in one color, then switch to working on the other color, and go back and forth -- it's like you're interleaving two concurrent actors both collaborating on the same object. A purely semantic perspective doesn't really lend itself to this observation -- but when you've built up a corpus of rules, it's very obvious which rules are color-local and which require a more global view to progress.
I can't tell if this is cutting sarcasm or not; brilliant.
Interesting tech, but based on the title, I was hoping for some kind of AI that could test hypotheses automatically. I think it is the future of a lot of research (especially medical): data automatically collected, hypothesis (in the form of statistical predictions) are tested, and any intetesting results are reported to relevant researchers at regular intervals.

Finally did some synthetic measurements of (hopefully) parse times (not render nor CSSOM or anything like that). Differences seems microscopic but overall aligned with my initial expectations (omitting the closing tag actually shaves a bit of yak's hair), so I suspect that the real overhead you observed is caused by something happening after parse, where absence of trailing white-space in DOM nodes (ensued by closing tags) helps in some way. I guess something around that white-space or text layout. (Speaking of insignificant white-space, you could probably gain some more microseconds if you'd stuck paragraphs together (`..</p>\n\n<p>..` -> `..</p><p>..`), however such minification seems like a nuisance.)

(Before realizing I can use synthetic domparser I made something what measures document load time in iframe (http://myfonj.github.io/tst/html-parsing-times.html) but it gives quite unconvincing results, although probably closer to the real world. Understandably, synthetic domparser can crunch much more code than visible iframe.)
Agree, but people have made worse mistakes at that age. Some of them learn and grow. (but, granted, not everyone!)
So the rest work harder, which means less dollars for more work, which makes prices go down (or rather: not rise quite as quickly). Banks can't fix things, they can just cause more pain on poor people, so they fix things.

That inflation is mostly caused by oil prices, and no amount of extra work by people will make oil prices drop ... This is why we've had recessions before, this is why it's happening now ... is something the central banks or government cannot influence, and therefore this "cannot" be the cause (granted, this is true but doesn't provide a solution, so from a utilitarian perspective one might agree with this).

The FED is making things worse, but hasn't yet been sufficiently scared into turning things around. The stock market is only ~20% down, and they usually turn things around at about a 35% drop. So we're already past the halfway point, and FANGs (except FB/META) are holding out quite well, so they seem to be safe harbors.

I think it would depend on the reason for the suspension and the ease of appeal/reactivation process.

If they believe there was fraud or the account had been compromised a short time frame from request to suspension makes sense as it limits the potential damage. Now, it should also be equally easy to reactivate the account in and automated way by confirming the required information.
Celsius Is Collapsing Here's Why
It is a sad, soulless world in which we live today. I went to an otherwise anonymous state college on the east coast in the latter 1970s. One of the fun things I remember was picking up lunch from McDonalds using my former roommate's Ford Pinto. If you're not familiar with the Pinto, look it up. It was a "great" car. Yeah.

Driving to McDonalds was fun and exciting! This Pinto was a 4 speed manual, where the shifter could easily be lifted out of the drive shaft tunnel. But that was trivial in comparison to the fact the brakes were limited to the parking brake. The drive to MickyD's was five to ten miles, including travel on a highway. You plan your stops. A real emergency would be bad, but regular driving was merely interesting. When I got back to my former roommate's house, we enjoyed a great lunch! The drive was fun.

I'm saddened by what Stanford has become. I look at the list of companies founded by Stanford Alumni, and am duly impressed. I look at what the "edges" of the Stanford population is today, and see the end of Stanford dominance.

Here are your choices about life. It's wobbling on two wheels until you get it right or depending on training wheels and helmets to keep you safe. It's taking risks or saying, "Mommy, may I?" Mommy's gonna say, "No, honey, I don't want you to get hurt or for you to hurt anyone else."

Fuck that.
> Your explanation is "market forces", or in other words, it's cheaper to deploy 2.5GBE than 10GBE because you (may) need to upgrade your cabling when you switch to 10GBE.

I never talked about the price of Ethernet cable, or whether people would need to upgrade it. It’s honestly irrelevant, and a strawman.

10gig is expensive because 10gig is expensive… the switching hardware, the chipsets, the PHYs, everything but the cable. Device manufacturers and customers don’t care about the cost of the cables, especially when 10gig hardware is backwards compatible with lower speeds. They can keep using 1gig if they don’t want to upgrade, just like people continued using 100Mbps networks for quite awhile after gigabit Ethernet became a thing.

My argument is that everyone got tired of waiting for 10gig to be affordable. They waited decades, hoping the price drop was just around the corner so they could jump straight from 1gig to 10gig, and it never happened. After literally 20 years since 10gig was standardized, I’m extremely glad that we’re seeing an abundance of Ethernet hardware that is faster than 1gig. That stagnation had to come to an end.

You can start your own company providing affordable 10gig hardware and prove that the industry players are wrong. For the same price, everyone would snap up 10gig hardware in a heartbeat.

Your argument would have made sense 20 years ago when it seemed like Ethernet standards were rapidly evolving and 10gig adoption was just around the corner. 10gig will be affordable eventually… but 20 years was too long to wait for it, and it still didn’t happen.

If you want 10gig, it has been attainable for years… for the right price. But there’s no need to come in and bother other people who are benefiting from the low cost rollout of better-than-1gig technology.

I would love to have a 10gig or 25gig network, if someone wants to pay for it. Datacenter-class networking hardware (like ConnectX-7) operates at 400+ Gbps today. The sky is the limit, so why bother stopping at 10gig?

> Zero availability of PoE on the few 10GBE products that do exist despite the PoE standard being in place for nearly two decades.

This is incorrect. 10GBASE-T only gained support for PoE in 2018 with the IEEE 802.3bt-2018 standard.
Very cool! I could see myself really using this. I just wish it wasn't so dependent on SaaS - it tends to make things unreliable, and can disappear at any time.

Not really. Maildir does away with a host of problems ranging from file locking (the entire mbox file must be locked during writes, where maildir only requires the message being operated on the be locked), to network compatibility (no transporting a 4gb file back and forth), to corruption issues (mostly due to file size).
I couldn't disagree more. A lot of working class people smoke, and when they go camping they typically drink beer. Let's say its a divorced dad, taking his son camping and fishing on the one weekend he has custody. A fairly common scenario.
He might not drink the full case, but he would probably bring one. Especially if his friends are campsite near by and they might drop by.

There might be places where you can openly camp in Canada and United States. I lived in BC and those where possible to find. In Ontario not anywhere near cities were people live.
Having spent eight years inside, I really don't think it's as good for networking as you imagine.

For a start, everyone inside is a criminal that failed, that got caught.

There are almost no tech guys locked up, it's 99% drugs, sex crimes, theft, murder, guns; so whatever crime you're planning, it'll have to be something regular.

I managed to use the contacts I made to become a drug dealer for a few months when I got out to make some quick cash, but that quickly died out. And anyone from inside that you would really want to hang out with (and there will not be many) will probably be someone who is really trying to go straight and not go deeper down the rabbit hole.
