> Do people just consume what they’re now fed through Platforms: Facebook, Twitter and Tiktok? Would I have to hawk myself on each platform?

I personally read mostly stories on Hacker News, and the author has successfully reached me here.

There’s an irony in Hacker News criticizing algorithm based feeds, when it itself is proof that Twitter and Facebook are not the only alternatives to RSS.
I strongly advise having a lawyer review the contract even though you already signed it - there will still be many opportunities for you to negotiate in the future. It's infinitely better to know now than to be blindsided later!

In my last startup, our biggest mistake by far was delegating legal solely to my business partner, who we all trusted at the time. It is incredibly easy for saavy parties to write the contract in a way that perniciously "sounds right" to an intelligent, trusting non-lawyer.

> Russia has already been humiliated.

According to whom and compared to what? Russia has employed maybe 20% of their military personnel and gear and are weeks, maybe days, from consolidating and absorbing the Donboss.

Keep in mind that Ukraine is the second largest military in Europe (after Russia) with their own military industrial complex, huge cache of Soviet weapons and the training and intelligence assets of NATO.

Can you name a single successful significant counter offensive (other than the Moskva) by Ukraine?
Github is NPM's parent company at this point, so I guess they have similar policies for dealing with this sort of stuff at this point.

My best guess is MSFT (which is the owner of both) is wary of taking a political stance here.
There's quite a lot to mention here.

There is not a "UK NHS". There are 4 NHSs in the UK, one each for Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England. They really are different, with different laws and staff and government departments.

When you're googling for NHS England policy you want to avoid nhs.uk, which is the patient facing stuff, and use inurl:england.nhs.uk When I do that and search for "Breast cancer screening" I get this page: https://www.england.nhs.uk/cancer/harnessing-innovation-in-c...

"Our series of annual Innovation Open Call competitions is an important way in which the NHS Cancer Programme identifies and supports the most promising innovations that will help us to deliver on our ambitions. The successful innovations will be tested and evaluated in real-world settings, so that those that will make the biggest difference can be rapidly implemented across the NHS. In this video, Professor Richard Gilbertson, Chair of the Innovation Expert Advisory Group, gives an overview of the competition and some of the exciting innovations."

I made a new LLC recently and signed up for PayPal to pay an invoice.

I gave them my info, my tax ID, my bank account, etc.

And within five minutes, they told me that my account was permanently blocked and that I wouldn't be able to use PayPal with my business. No reason was given other than I must have violated their TOU.

I had to go onto Twitter and talk publicly about it, then talked to three different Twitter representatives over a three weeks period, and they finally unlocked my account.

I commend them for unlocking it, but it's certainly given me pause over using them for even sending funds. :(

> [...] counting every clock. Rust strikes a good balance, and some of my favorite software is written in it, but C++ isn’t obsolete.

This isn't a good argument for C++. If you can't get where you need to go in Rust because you are "counting every clock" you need to go down, which means writing assembler -- not sideways to C++. Once you're counting every clock, none of the high level languages can help you, because you're at the mercy of their compiler's internal representation of your program and their optimisers. If you care whether we use CPU instruction A or CPU instruction B, you need the assembler, which likewise cares, and not a high level language.

Both C++ and Rust provide inline assembler if that's what you resort to.

There are things to like about C++ but "counting every clock" isn't one of them.

I use Uxn's self-modification powers quite a bit, I use them mostly for routines that runs thousands of times per frames, so I don't have to pull literals from the stack, I just can just write myself a literal in the future and have it available. I wonder, what about this makes a native code compiler difficult, is it because most programs protect against this sort of behaviors? or that programs are stored in read-only memory?

Some of the emulator sandbox the file device, it is likely to be the way that all the emulators will work eventually.

A professor in college had two terms: microprogramming and macroprogramming.

Microprogramming was the kind of thing where you're trying to, for example, cut down an assembly loop to run in 6 cycles rather than 8, design a numerical algorithm, an operating system scheduler, or similar. This is very mathematical in style of thinking.

Macroprogramming is what happens when you write a database-backed web application, for example. It's much more linguistic. It's about understanding other people's code, writing your code to be understood, and gluing a lot of stuff together.

Both have their place. Macroprogramming is taking over now, but I enjoy microprogramming more.

Is there any sort of lower-level logging and monitoring in MacOS that would help with diagnosing such issues? I'm spending some time on a wonky wifi network, and so far it seems that it's high time to finally read about networking internals starting with ip and wifi protos, before I can even theorize about where to look and what to fiddle.

To be clear, in a perfect world it's wrong that Russians were having their files deleted. It's also wrong that they're having their factories set on fire, getting conscripted to be blown up in trenches, having their children shipped back home in little boxes, or not shipped back at all. It'll be wrong if the tide turns and they are blown up in their homes. Welcome to war. This is what you were signed up for. Look to who signed you up.

One good thing I can think of is algorithms for interviews. Interviewing can be a grueling process and there's a lot of things to remember. In most jobs, algorithms are really only used during the interview process and not in the actual job. Most people switch jobs every 1-3 years. Speaking from experience, I tend to forget about most of the stuff I learned in about 6 months, so it's a real hassle to have to re-train on this stuff a 1+yr later for the next round of interviews. It would be nice to learn algos once and never have to re-learn them again.

I worked in NHS IT for a number of years. I've been in other industries for a while, but I doubt things have changed that much. It's not a funding or business priority issue per se. Tho having said that the NHS is focused on providing the best care to the most people. That does mean that some people fall through the cracks.

Anyway, the data is significantly more fragmented than you can ever imagine. GPs are technically (it's very odd) private companies. They can have a reasonable amount of leeway to do things as they see fit. Which means just at primary care level, there's a massive data quality issue. Then you get on to secondary care (hospitals etc) and there's just as much separation between the different trusts/health boards etc. Then each country, have their own NHS, Scotland, NI, Wales and England.

So it seems like an easy fix, but the reality is miles more complex than you might initially think.

It would not surprise me if nation states did control 10% of exit nodes. Onion routing however, means that exit nodes alone can not deduce sources. An attacker would need to control a whole chain to know both traffic source and destination, and the most important aspect of Tor architecture is to make that as difficult as possible.
When is a runner 10 times better, then? For comparison, the mythical 10x developer can literally do tasks in 1/10th of the time.

Just to say, this is pretty spot on. Lots of messy data, many different sources of messy data. It's significantly more complex than you'd hope.
Just because the NHS doesn’t fail in all scenarios, or even most scenarios, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have serious problems.

GP isn’t making any claims that the US system is better, they don’t even mention the US, they’re pointing out that the NHS has some pretty serious deep seated issues. Which quite frankly should be obvious to anyone who’s interacted with it.

Knee jerk responses like this are precisely why attempting to fix the NHS is political suicide. It impossible to even have a open discussion out the problems the NHS faces without people piling on to defend the NHS and drown out criticism.

Personally I worry about the future of the NHS. The inability to have an honest and open discussion about the future of the NHS means it’s just going to continue lumbering on until it collapses completely from extraordinary pressures it’s placed under.

The title of Linear Algebra Done Wrong is an unacknowledged nod to Sheldon Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right. I know Sheldon; he believes it's a crime to teach people determinants. I teach people determinants. Wrong features determinants in Chapter 3.

See my reply to comment about Estonia.
This article seems to be about the tests not detecting early enough. Which could be a test sensitivity issue or even could be a shift in how the new strains interact with our immune systems.

I recently had COVID and found that the test showed a faint bar right after my first sign of symptoms. Because I had plenty of tests, I continuously tested the 4 in my household as symptoms progressed and receded.

Although the visibility of the bar can't reliably be used to gauge level of infection, it did roughly track with my whole family's symptom severity and was confirmed with a PCR test.

After months of using these tests, we never got a positive either until this point.

These were the orange, made in China tests that the federal government is sending out for free.

So while they may not signal early enough to do much good, they certainly seemed to work in our small example.

By “thesis” I meant the thesis of the business, not of the article.

The article said just what you said; my point is that another way to explain those dynamics is that you can’t sell software to SMBs if they don’t urgently need it. That’s because that logic about top-down sales is true regardless of what you’re selling. And that’s why the foreknowledge that SMBs don’t urgently need to solve a contract management problem is a huge red flag, ideally before you’ve written a line of code.

Tom, what on earth is a nth generation MTA? SMTP has largely remained static as a standard (when did that EHLO thing arrive?) for decades. OK, there are a lot of add ons such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC.

I'm also not sure what UX means either in this context - its an MTA.

I'll take your comment on the quality of the code as stated - I respect your judgement on that but bear in mind that Exim is continuously developed. I lurk on their mailing lists and Jeremy and Co are continuously refining it.

It is a single binary and that single binary is written in C but whenever CVEs come up, they seem to be handled with professionalism and alacrity. So, perhaps you might like to give it another go.

It is rather powerful in what you can do with it. For example you can update exim.conf and then run exim -bhc w.x.y.z and run through a SMTP session to test it as though you are coming from the IP address w.x.y.z.

Anyway, I suspect I have way worse binaries from a purist's perspective doing stuff on my systems than Exim. However, I do know I've shifted many, many millions and perhaps billions of emails with it without any snags.
