I think you should get out. We are at a critical point now where the criticism for crypto has hit the mainstream, and over the last market cycle that criticism was proven to be true: that crypto is largely predatory in nature and has few if any real world applications has been proven out. Maybe your project is different, but the industry works in some pretty dark ways.

There are lots of informed crypto skeptics that understand finance, economics, and distributed systems enough to know that crypto is not going to work as it's sold to retail investors, and their voices grow louder everyday. Plenty of these critics, like myself, have experience working on crypto projects or have a background in SWE, distributed systems, and VC funded start ups. Working on crypto in 2016 is a much different ethical dilemma than working in the space in 2021, or even 2023. We simply know more, and right now we're watching the bodies rack up as the market experiences cascade failures.

Of course, if you 100% believe in a technology and think it has a future, then by all means keep working in that space. However, leaving is not impossible. There's such a need for senior devs that working on un-ethical projects isn't an unsurmountable goal.

I agree with essentially everything you say, although I would hope we could figure out a way to structure our research organizations to prevent that sort of bias but having a dedicated scientific reporting organization of some kind that does serious due diligence I think could definitely work
Could be, it carries the same meaning in modern Greek.
> It seems the same behaviors exist in the absence and presence of that religion

Right, just humans doing their thing and twisting literally anything to justify their pursuit of power. Christianity not necessary.

But there's something to be said for a set of values that emphasizes love, empathy, and reciprocity, regardless of the religion.
It's a sea of anecdotes here, but I confirm that "any middle class" '98 PC could play Half-Life with software rendering adequately at 640x480. But look at any video game, not just 3D - OP's question from performance standpoint is valid.
This is a great project, but I learned to use a system font stack[0] instead to address latency issues on my sites. I run an e-commerce site and every millisecond in rendering time is potentially a lost sale. It needs to be fast, especially for those on 3G (or 2G?) connections.

My home town (Leopoldsburg) had 2 streets with the same name (Boskantstraat), that crossed each other. So on the crossing, all streets had the same name. There uses to be no houses or other things to help with orientation. Great fun on a foggy autumn night.
You're being hyperbolic.

> "arm the teachers"

No one is forcing teachers to become armed.
That is a great looking site, I'll give it a try and be sure to remember it for telling others. I love how you can pick a point and look for nearby campsites.

Normally I plan my tour routes offline using downloaded OSM maps (something like velomap.org) in QMapshack. One thing I like doing on there is having POIs I can turn on/off with things like UNESCO World Heritage Sites, National Trust Sites, World Wonders from the Civilization games etc. so I can tweak my route to connect a few of those dots if it goes near them.
Sure, in another 10 years or so. They have increased headcount 10x and VC investment 10x but execution is forever stuck at "worse than Twitter" levels.
A few messengers like threema do that already. It's simple and boring, but so much easier to get right. If you don't have crazy large groups, this is fine.

The biggest issue I've heard (pre-covid) from talking to teachers and student teachers, is that the policies of the schools and/or behavior of the students is in conflict with what they believe to be best.

For example, my friend thought it was BS that if you put your name on the test you can't get under a 50%. Even with this policy, there were kids who would not put their names on the blank test, even if you tried to work with them. Another teacher I know had kids hit/kick/etc her.

This sort of stuff is demoralizing. What's the point of teaching if the kids don't care, you're assaulted, and the school policies are geared to passing kids off to the next grade without learning much? I think I would enjoy being a teacher as a retirement job, if it wasn't for all the horror storied I hear about behavior and misguided policies.
I am doing the same at my current company. We have a small team of 10 engineers, and DNS for discovery on AWS has been enough for us for the last 5 years. There hasn’t been a single issue for us in that time.
At the cost of comprehension yes
There is a saying: “those who can do, do, and those who can’t do, teach.” Maybe it would be fair to augment that with, “those who don’t understand a subject well enough to do or teach, report.”

The problem is particularly bad in science journalism, but exists across the board. Financial journalism is really the only area I’ve seen where the journalists tend to have real backgrounds in the subject. And unsurprisingly financial journalism stands head and shoulders above other journalistic fields.
If you're not able to remember, it seems like you're suffering from some form of amnesia. You know who wrote about amnesia in this context? Murray Gell-Mann, that's who!
On top of that, in her more recent videos I get a weird feeling of her leaving some things purposefully ambiguous for that audience.

For example in the video to this article she was using a lot of climate science examples, which will be interpreted in a certain way by the "science is a scam" crowd. I'm not sure she is doing this on purpose (I have the impression she strongly believes in climate change), accidentally or if I'm just oversensitive to some things.
Linkers can also do something called "Identical code folding", or ICF, whereby the linker notices that two pieces of code are exactly the same and can merge them. lld's sources include a little overview of how this is done, see https://github.com/llvm-mirror/lld/blob/master/ELF/ICF.cpp

> the main original author of this software was/is a hero in the fight against system oppression

...is this a reference to Assange? IIRC, his contributions were ~0.7% of the commits in 1996, focused on psql and libpq. Promoting him to "main original author" is quite a leap.
This comment is smug and offers nothing to the discussion.
I'm not so sure +1's or emojis are useful, except for maybe a few cases like you have a very large audience and they all send a thumbs-down emoji to protest a bad product or design decision -- recent c#/dotnet for example. Or the reminder ping from an affected user who is still interested in and using your project.

The problem I believe is that a +1 or another reaction to an issue is simply a sample from all developers that viewed the project that bothered to leave a note. Chances are people are not using an open source project if they see a reasonably filed issue a long time ago that either was not addressed in any fashion whether it be a principled statement on why it can't be addressed yet, or that the project isn't interested in working on it. That obviously only works for small projects without a product manager.

The issue persists on the large projects as well. The issue reactions set is just a sample of the all developers set that used or looked at the project. The only way to really know what is going on is telemetry and crash reports.

Larger companies with thousands of crash reports, bug reports, and features requests can cluster them and figure out what to work on, along with a touch of good taste. Good taste is unfortunately important too.

Unfortunately for telemetry a lot of people think it is a privacy issue... which it can be if the developer implements it poorly. And looks like GitHub only exposes traffic overall to your site [1] so you never know the population size is for people that are possibly affected by that issue -- so the relative +1 count is
not reflective of reality. You might have a fighting chance if you use self-hosted GitLab or something with which you can grab granular traffic stats.

This is ridiculous.
Why they assume that I'm picking because I saw them on screen? I'm picking them because of price and service quality. People from marketing voodoo...
Yep, that’s why I said this:

> It's only a matter of time before they "Twitter" up their API even more than they already do.

When that happens I imagine I’ll fall off of Reddit. “old.reddit.com” and Apollo are the only reasons it’s bearable to use other than a Google search destination.

There is and will be for years if not decades a ton of important/useful information on reddit. Things like cooking tips, home server building, relatively unbiased product reviews, video game help, and the list goes on. A good portion of that content is evergreen. But as for participating, I won’t go back to the official app after using Apollo, even if that means leaving Reddit after over a decade.
This is my preferred solution too. It’s really not necessary to use custom fonts to achieve a nice design in most cases.
> It's status quo and no changing

Not entirely true: checkout was split into switch and restore, which is something I guess.
A union would give them collective bargaining to negotiate for more than what they're getting now - like a bigger raise to keep up with inflation.

Not long ago a full-time job was enough to support a family.
Oh, that'd probably work really well with dyslexic style "easier reading" fonts too.

As someone relatively new to both Go and Rust, I definitely feel the same way. It seems like Rust fans are more passively-aggressively pushing Rust much more than Go devs. Also, it seems like a lot of them talk down on Go/Go devs for the usual reasons that most people point out.

For example, Go's popularity is only because of Google. I'm sure that has to do with it, but I don't think many companies are going to be putting their bottom line at risk by using a language just because it may have come from Google. It has to actually do its job and do it well. In that case, the proof is in the pudding. Again, as more of an outsider to these languages, Go seems to be doing pretty well for a relatively young language and it's already taking over the cloud space.
did you have a kid do virtual learning over the pandemic closures? it’s a total nightmare, many kids just didn’t show up the whole time
There's been some surface coverage of the US shortage of teachers for a while, yet we haven't seen much movement in terms of compensation. Maybe there has been a push to get people into the field but I haven't seen it.

IMHO, it's worth keeping in mind that this about more than the stress of the pandemic. The increasing costs of student loans (and the cost of servicing them after graduation) may also make teaching positions less attractive and, perhaps, unsustainable.

Here is a random article from before the pandemic.

Bold trip nonetheless! If you have some time to write up this experience and how you planned in more detail, I would definitely appreciate reading it and I am sure others would too. I am hoping to do some more travel like this in South and Central America and would be great to hear some first hand experience.
> The medium of YouTube is not conducive to lengthy expositions

I've actually found a couple channels on YT specialising in lengthy reviews/essays, which I find very good. Off the top of my head:

1. Whitelight[1] - game reviews/critiques/analyses. Particularly worthy of note are the Assassin's Creed Unity[2] (1.5h), Batman Arkham City[3] (3h 10min) and Watch Dogs[4] (1h 15min) reviews.

2. MauLer[5] - critiques of mostly Star Wars, but sometimes also other mainstream films. The ongoing series of TFA critiques has 4 parts so far (there is going to be at least 6 total), each part taking anywhere between 2 and 4 hours.

I also feel that I'm forgetting some, which I don't watch regularly, but periodically am reminded about their existence and then after a long break spend several days watching, to then forget about them again.

But the channels I listed aren't fringe. Quite the contrary, they're quite popular. I think it's also interesting that one of, if not the most popular Vsauce video is the one about the Banach-Tarski paradox[6], which is almost 30 minutes long. His other videos also show this trend, where the long-form ones seem to get more views in general.

And those are just essays/reviews/etc. There is a whole genre of podcasts on youtube dedicated to 3-4h in-depth interviews. Everybody knows a whole bunch of them, therefore I don't even need to list any examples here to support that.

So it seems that YouTube is a pretty good place for long-form in-depth exploration of whatever topic (as long as you don't say "fuck", "murder" or show a human body).

The pay issue is state specific. In my state, I know a secondary Ed biology teacher making about as much as I do as a software dev. Both about 10 years experience and a masters degree. My state is in the top 10 for teacher pay though.
I honestly don't get why you wouldn't want to form a union. Why voluntarily put yourself into a massively worse position when negotiating wages and working conditions with your employer?

This goes especially for frontline or storage workers or anyone else who is frequently seen by management as "easily replaceable".
Those campuses are seeped in that rivarly. You'll hear chants, speeches, etc. It's a tradition.
For the record in the novel The Dark Forest, most aliens don’t actually get in space ships and visit, they hurl relativistic projectiles at the sun and blow it up. The reasoning being something like the prisoner’s dilemma (in space!).

Also I do think it’s too early to call it as safe: just because something has not happened yet does not mean it won’t happen, or “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”
Love how this trolling is HN appropriate.
I’ve gotten really into touring in the last couple of years, and a Euro bike trip is in my plans for next spring/summer. Any suggestions for what season and where you’d recommend for a month-long tour? I’m currently thinking May, perhaps the corridor from Normandy thru Brussels onto Amsterdam. But I haven’t visited enough of Europe to know if temperatures/wind/weather will be amenable for that.

Of course I’m also considering dropping my job at some point and biking for 6+ months.
> I never understood Patreon taking a % of money earned from creators

Possibly because you are not processing and remitting EU VAT and other digital international taxes which you should. Actually, its doubtful that a lot of people who engage in such creator activities are even aware that they should need to file taxes for that kind of income in the first place, leave aside process digital tax.

Patreon handles all of that and reports and pays it to legitimate authorities, removing all the legal and financial responsibilities from the creators' hands. As international digital tax schemes proliferate (Japan already has one or planning one, other OECD countries also), this is going to become even more important. Not that its not important right now.

This is before the fact that all chargeback, fraud etc are handled by Patreon.

...

A lot of these people, including you, confuse Patreon and similar platforms with payment platforms like Paypal. They aren't the same. At Paypal, Stripe etc, not only they don't handle digital tax for you, but also you are on your own regarding chargebacks, fraud and refunds. And if you have more than 5% of them, they can just disable your account.

You don't have those issues with Patreon.
> Can anybody help explain when organizations should use Talos instead of cloud-vendor-managed Kubernetes offerings (EKS/AKS/GKE)?

1. Learning. I want to self host to learn the stack top to bottom.

2. Build your own service.

3. Why not? (probably the best, most hackerish option)

> Especially considering that the managed offerings now fit most regulatory requirements (e.g. EKS is FedRAMP-High Authorized)?

Standards that meet regulatory requirements may not be updated or secure enough to meet private sector needs.
It is the threat of pending regulations which pushed the industry to have shareable reusable blocks you mention. Before this "innovation" the industry did not care, and gave hardwired power blocks. In the past you had to throw the entire cable and attached power block into the trash.
Total emissions of 100% is made up contributions of 1%+1%+1%+...

By that logic there exists nothing that can help climate change...even if we are causing it.

A bit like saying "shooting this one plane down out of 1000 enemy planes does not win the war; may as well not shoot it and give up".

Yes, obviously if we had never touched fossil fuels, having even more lifestock than today would probably be fine too, but that is not very relevant.
White House exploration of gas rebate cards complicated by chip shortages
Something thing you might want to consider. as this article points out human brains evolved to push the individual to identify with a group and be hostile to other groups because it improved fitness. Through most of human existence this group survival pressure outweighed objective rational perception of reality . Political parties often tap into this in group out group emotional connection. While I agree that Republican Party logic is often weak and often emotional, I would argue that the Democratic Party is as well, just on different issues.

Another thing to think about is that by attacking an “out group” (I assume you’re not a republican) in this post you are potentially showing the behavior described in the article.

I don't think I understand.

Apparently it's unreasonable for one set of road users to say to another "When we're around, you have to go much more slowly on this road than you would like to".

But it's not unreasonable for one set of road users to say to another: "You must not use this road at all".

Actually, I'm not being entirely sincere. I think I understand very well: you think that car drivers are proper road users, entitled to use the roads conveniently and safely, and cyclists are impostors who have no such right unless it causes zero inconvenience to car drivers. I, on the other hand, think that that is bullshit. Unless some road is specifically designated as not-for-everyone, car drivers are allowed to use it even though that exposes cyclists to some danger, and cyclists are allowed to use it even though that exposes car drivers to some inconvenience.

"He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense", so let's do a little arithmetic. Suppose you are stuck for a full mile behind a cyclist who makes you drive at 15mph where you could otherwise have driven at 45mph. Then that mile will take you 4 minutes instead of 1 minute 20 seconds. It's cost you about two and a half minutes. That's probably less time than you spent, e.g., writing the comment above.

If the cyclist isn't allowed to use that road, or any other "narrow back-country roads", then most likely they have to take a much longer route. (If they can get where they're going at all. Not everywhere is on the main roads.) If they have to go an extra 3 miles, at that 15mph speed, that's an extra 12 minutes. Is your time 4.5x more important than theirs?
I wasn't aware of the Unified Push projects. That's a good development and I really hope they catch on. Thanks for the info!

Mixed use is, arguably, where k8s shines the most.

As in, you have a pool of hardware, and you want to optimize use of its capacity. Mix interactive jobs work batch jobs. Maybe even prod and non-prod. Fit as much as possible on smallest amount of nodes, etc.
Kids are legislatively forbidden from riding motorcycles. Just let them do AM or another form of certification for small bikes that get to 50ish kmh. It's not like they can't get to 50 with a bicycle. I'd even argue it's safer since it's easier to wear protective gear when you don't have to pedal.

Affording it isn't a real issue either.
(i)Second hand motorcycles can be had for really cheap since they're treated as toys in the western world. I just opened up the listings for where I live (smallish town in Germany) and there are 44 ads for working bikes under 1000$ in 25km radius of me. Some are even proper 600cc+ machines.
(ii)16 brand new bikes in that same area can be bought for under 2000$.
(iii)Public transport.

Storage:
Small bikes can be manhandled into an apartment if it's about long term storage. Short term, just park it on the street like a normal person. Put a tracker on it if you're worried.

I get that it improves over time but the short term effects are what determines whether whoever implements it remains in power long enough to see that. And I'd argue still that motorcycles are way faster and therefore better at decreasing congestion than bicycles. Regarding inclusivity they are also friendlier to less fit people, especially in uneven terrain since even at my ripe age in the mid twenties I can get out of breath climbing some streets on my bicycle.
> we're in a country with better privacy laws

Speaking as a European: I think this is a very important topic for us. I don't think Americans and American companies understand how little trust rest of us have for the American government. Working with a company that is not subject to the whims of the American government is a huge privacy win. If a company pitches me a product, they start 1 points ahead if they are based on Switzerland, Netherlands or somewhere similar.
