As drugs are dangerous for those predisposed to substance addiction, betting games dangerous to those predisposed to gambling addiction, crypto is dangerous for people who are predisposed to non-regulation addiction. I've seen far too many people addicted to the fantasy of non-regulation and it's effects that it's hard to find sympathy, but I try to stay grounded in viewing it as the disease it is.
20 eggs in one sitting?

Surely this is exaggeration?

I make a three egg omelette a few times a week, and it's quite filling. I could probably do six eggs without making myself sick, but not a dozen and definitely not 20.
On the contrary, the most important use of downvotes is for when any response would only make things worse.
Marshall, a company that makes miniature video cameras used in broadcast has a great USB camera that is UVC1.5 compliant, you can change lenses, it's not that big, and has great image quality.

I was surprised by how terrible NBN is, and how expensive/rare fiber internet is in Sydney. People commonly complain how bad internet access is in the US, but at least the major cities have access to fiber...
Except, that wasn't at all what we call a compiler; she just used the name compiler for something that clearly was not. Admittedly, she was first to use the name, but word coinage is not a thing we recognize as a fundamental achievement. Hal didn't call his thing a "compiler", but it clearly was one, by the modern definition.

(Its output was subroutine calls, but that is a matter for optimization. When your compiler has to fit in 1K machine words, you make compromises.)
PlantUML is my favorite... but it is all texual. There is a great support for it on VSCode and Emacs for previews. I prefer VSCode to create my UML diagrams and Gantts (even though I am mainly Emacs)

> tools tend to be better because they are open source

This is not true in general. It isn't even true for programming tools. Paid/non-OSS IDEs (JetBrains suite, Visual Studio) are often better in many ways than their FOSS equivalents (Eclipse, Qt Creator, etc).

Other examples: office programs (MS Office vs LibreOffice), digital AV workstations (Adobe suite, Da Vinci Resolve vs Kdenlive, ShotCut, etc), 3D editors (Blender is the one exception here, but Maya is still damn good)...
Literally all of the above.
Maybe they have, a lot of people would rather not work in that kind of environment though.

No. "Science reporting is bad" is fine and the criticism is constructive.

I consider myself a "consultant", which is just a fancy way of saying "freelancer" in many ways (I do more consulting that actual producing of code, though). I usually rely on the company;s PMs - in my role, I'm helping them understand the technologies I know well and the strategies on how to implement and make money off of them, but they know product and project processes for their organization better than I generally want to.

If you're a PM looking for a role as a freelancer, I'd consider taking the consultant route. If you're a PM with a deep experience either in a particular industry (e.g. finance) or a particular technology (e.g. APIs), you can easily pivot to a consultant to those types of companies, helping their PMs and teams figure out how to compete.

But even when I was a full time freelance developer focused on producing code, though I would not question the value of having a PM, I specifically freelanced so I could manage myself.
I think as an Australian, it's a bit of each.

There is not a great tradition amongst most Australians of trying to "Make it Big.". The Australian dream has been the house on the 1/4 acre block, not making millions in a Silicon Valley style buyout. Add to that the poor regard for those who are seen to be exploiting others for their personal gain and a strong dose of "Tall Poppy Syndrome" where the populous tries to tear down people who seem to be getting too big for their boots and you have a place where American style entrepreneurism is not encouraged.

That said, we tend to celebrate those who step ahead in business, but do it in a way that supports their workers and community.
Another interesting trick we do in the tropics: Guppies in the water tank to prevent them from being a source of dengue/zika/chikungunya spreading mosquitoes.

And every thread says they can connect to open WiFi without providing any proof that they do. It would be trivial to test and prove but no-one ever does.

I'm not saying they wouldn't do it but I'd prefer some proof before judging them (without having to shell out to be the guinea pig).
Chrome Extension to Comment on Pages?
More specifically, I'm interested in a Chrome/Firefox extension for desktop and mobile that allows to highlight portions of text, attach comments to them and share comments with others. A typical page of text here is static and large: a book or an article.

Running your own DNS isn't as hard as you think
I do not understand the "oh well if it gets exploited" vibe. It's not the company that suffers in that case, but users of the software!

Now, you might want to somehow tell these users about this, so they can get off of the software. And there's this balancing act in that case...

In the abstract universe where I have a nasty exploit and the company wants to ignore it, I suppose I would just try to loudly publish a first step which is like "hey, I have this PoC which gives me RCE with this software, and the company is ignoring it", without revealing the methodology at first. Perhaps at least publishing some mitigation strategies.

I am not a security researcher, but I understand that this would be hard. But I think it's not honest to say that just dumping an exploit to the world is the best alternative to stonewalling.
Sure, but sooner or later it (or something comparable) is going to exist as a commercial tool.

If our government can catch money launderers because they’re running empty washing machines or selling unused tickets to shows, it’s hard to think of anything useful crypto can do that couldn’t be meaningfully regulated away.
That stuff is measurement and is great, but "benchmarking" = measuring performance of features that don't belong in TV's.
Love this. I think we are missing a UI paradigm for visualizing and editing graphs effectively, and I love seeing stabs at the problem. It is absolutely insane that dependency graphs aren't a first-class feature in all issue trackers. The fact that graph visualizers are so complex is probably a big part of it. I'm a fan of your approach because it's reusing familiar UX patterns that people already know, like making nested lists.

If you haven't already, you should check out Workflowy! You would be a fan of their design, since everything is centered around recursive lists and operations on them. They also noticed that lists are isomorphic to boards, so any list can be shown (and edited!) as a board without loss of information. I could imagine a similar isomorphism from those lists to graphs, which knotend visualizes.

I had trouble using the tool though, here's some things I noticed:

* <Tab> doesn't work when the graph is empty, and causes the "Sign in" link to get selected instead.

* It feels like nodes can be in different states depending on if I'm editing the text, or just have it selected. For example, typing a name and hitting <Tab> does not create the child. Looks like the app is trying to mimic spreadsheets, so this is surprising. Same with <Enter>, I'd expect it to make a sibling whether I'm in editing mode or not.

* The curved connecting lines between nodes don't scale well, and look a bit strange. This is a big problem, because knotend has to work just as well with small or huge graphs. Given a node, I have to know which nodes are up- and downstream of it immediately. As is, it gets confusing the moment I have two sibling nodes each with disjoint/shared children. ObservableHQ handles this by highlighting connectors to the parent and child nodes.

Definitely looking forward to seeing how this grows! I think it's close, but for it to be as easy as writing lists, there can't be a distinction between editing and not-editing.
Rejecting burnout / the conditions that cause burnout is perfectly reasonable.
> I would downvote you if I could because what you wrote is just ignorant and anyone who dealt with k8s before can tell that you never dealt with it.

I don't know why you're snarking so hard when there are dozens of managed Kubernetes offerings out there.

> It requires a lot of hardware just for the base, 9 servers minimum.

An HA deployment requires 3 nodes for the control plane, and as many or few workers as necessary. But yes, this is 3 more nodes than you would run without automated orchestration. Of course, the cost of these 3 nodes is amortized over all of the worker nodes, so if you're only running 3 worker nodes you're paying 100% for orchestration, but if you're running 30 worker nodes you're only paying 10% (this is assuming equally sized nodes, for simplicity).

> The more complex something gets the harder it is to get done right.

Right, but if someone else packages that complexity up for you in a piece of software (like Kubernetes or Linux) it's often much easier to get it done right than it would be to roll your own from primitives.
Oh man I'm gonna try this tomorrow at work. This looks promising. Thank you.
Typically a scoop in the us is two to three times that in Amsterdam.
while I like the user interaction, and while diagramming tools really do need this kind of quick way of creating diagrams, at the moment, this tools end result is not really that nice for doing flowcharts, and looking through the examples there really is nothing compelling, and some of the examples seem a bit odd ( like the onboard customer example). As this demo gets expanded, it will be interesting to see if it can stay simple as things like conditional paths / loop back mechanisms are created. If that's not the intention, then this is more of a tree builder than a flowchart editor. A simple example I'd like to see is a flow chart for traffic lights / pedestrian crossing control system.
I started in CPP and now mostly write Python. Honestly, it is just so much easier. Gone are the insane number of helper functions and custom types you have to wade through to make a tiny change.
The reality is that boundary-level checking is all done with validation libraries (like Pydantic) anyway, and invalid types traversing an interface between sections of the codebase, in an unexpected way, happens so infrequently as to be almost a non-issue.
Agreed. I set up a really nice webcam by using a Mirrorless Full Frame camera and my wife refuses to use it when she sits at my desk. She doesn't want her coworkers to see her with that much detail and clarity.

By the way, just using a Sony or Panasonic mirrorless is fine, you don't need to buy a custom high-end webcam, and you can use those for taking pictures and videos when you're out on the weekend.
Notes on WebAssembly
Though grants are smaller here than in the US, they're fairly numerous compared to the # of groups applying for them. We're using grants to get us farther before turning to VCs.
That's my opinion about AI as well. Human-like general intelligence means that the AI may decide to not do what a person asked of it or even become dangerous. What's useful is that the AI is "smart" at doing what it was asked to do. That it stays within the confines of the task(s) assigned to it.
E2EE plus arbitrarily invasive clent-side sniffing/reporting should not be considered "E2EE" by any means. Even if reports to the mothership are strongly encrypted (at which point it becomes harder to determine what's in the reports).
All three.

Culturally, tall poppy syndrome prevents successful people from showing their success, and it is seen as a massive problem to fail. These two things alone make up a pretty chilling force.

You have few good local VCs (though maybe I'm out of the loop), a tiny stock market that doesn't "get" tech and a high cost of living/wage expectation.

At a policy level our economy's geared to property so what money there is goes there, a panel system for government which results in big overseas cos getting a huge edge and general low grade corruption/nepotism which makes the playing field less even.
Hijacking top comment to mention that Apple is planning to let you use an iPhone as a webcam soon.

I have filed this into “I relate to your ‘failure’ deeply and hope I never have to retrieve this comment for myself” drawer.
I love the goals here, and this can definitely work.

The current key shortcuts seem a bit wrong to me though.

A few issues:

- Tab is never ever used as a "create something" button. It's always "move between things". So this is the wrong choice. And making shift-tab create something in a different direction is completely unintuitive. Shift-enter or ctrl-enter or something would be better.

- It shouldn't be possible to have multiple created-but-empty cells. UIs seem to work much better when there is only one cell in that state. If you create one then move away from it before editing it, it should go away.

- Needs bigger visual difference between editing state and selected state.

Also, I'd suggest that there can be a preview mode that uses pretty layout (non-grid based) then edit mode which uses the grid.
It might also be a gene’s way of reducing the likelihood of future propagation due to the harm?

It's also $400. I was excited until I saw the price.
Saw the 10K hour thing and just want to give a counter to it. I've been reading Steve Kotlers book, Art of the Impossible and it's been a great read so far.

One of the take aways is that mental flow state can really shortcut certain mental processes. This including picking up new skills in a much shorter time span.

Would recommend the book and just as a disclaimer, I'm still in the process of implementing some of the ideas in the book. Seems promising though.
Does it have an RDP client?
47% taxes above A$180k/yr (US$125k/yr). Very little loopholes like in the US that allow you to reduce your tax paid.

So considerably less monetary incentive to 'make it big'. For entrepreneurs who want to do that, why not move to the USA and come back to Australia when you want to settle down and have a family?
What's a few example problems that you'd be surprised people can solve?
Impossible is pretty strong. Who knows, maybe there's material that can be used for construction buried 100 feet under the surface. Or we figure out how to build stuff with Mars dirt. Humans are the most resourceful and adaptable beings in the universe (that we know of) and life, uh, always finds a way.
To be fair, the name came first. Then I found out it conflicted with people's pronouns and I sat on the idea for a while. Now I'm throwing science at the wall to see what sticks, and this is a fairly amusing experiment. So I'm gonna keep it going.
Mathematicians can skip a lot of steps because they have a good intuition of what's possible and what's not, so it's enough when they know that in principle something could be proven. But this can make it hard for a beginner to understand what reasoning is allowed and what isn't allowed. However, when going back to foundations, I've found that how proofs work is surprisingly simple.

For example, in Metamath[0] (which was mentioned in another comment), there are just two inference rules. First is modus ponens[1], which says "if A is true, and if A being true implies that B is true, then B is true". Second is the rule of generalization[2], which says "if A is unconditionally true, then for all x A is true". If you start with the axiomatic statements of classical logic + set theory, pretty much all of mathematics can be inferred just by repeatedly applying these two rules to derive more true statements.

The hard part is developing a good feel for what's possible within this system and what's not, so that you can start skipping large numbers of steps too. As someone who's self-learning this stuff I've personally found exploring Metamath very helpful for this, because I find it helpful to break things down to the foundations when I'm not sure about a bit of reasoning, and Metamath is good at breaking things down to the foundations. But to each their own. Regardless, if you haven't already done so, I'd recommend learning classical logic if you want to understand proofs.

My preferred language (Ruby) happens to be dynamic, but at this point in my career (Staff-level) I've come to believe that the whole static vs. dynamic argument is way overblown.

90% of the issues that come up on the teams I've been a part of are caused by developers who are lacking architecture (and related) skills, regardless of the language we're working in. They struggle to find the core metaphors for the problem space they're working in, they struggle to name things, they struggle to find clear and effective refactor points, they struggle to consider the medium and long term implications of their decisions, they struggle to organize code well, etc.

(The other 10% of issues are constantly changing business requirements.)

Static vs. Dynamic has nothing to do with those problems — they all exist in both worlds.

Personally, my most recent stint with a statically typed language (Swift) was hella frustrating. I felt like I was fighting the type system all the time. (Several of my biggest complaints have been address since I moved on from Swift, to be fair). But some people just love it — and good for them!

For me, Ruby is the closest language to how my brain works. It has the least friction between Idea and Running Code. I hope to write in Ruby (or similar) for the rest of my life.

If I really want a static analyzer for my Ruby, I can try Sorbet. If I desperately need to be running a compiled binary for speed or flexibility, I'll have to choose something else. These are just the tradeoffs.

The world is a big place. I'd want everyone to be able to find a niche where you can write the code you want in the language(s) you want.
We can speculate, but it is observed, albeit not universally.
It’s worth noting many of these metrics are measuring the quality 4-5 years ago, and I think its improving relatively quickly.

That said, the quality of internet is such a silly metric. Almost all places, including rural Australia, have better than 25/15 with metro areas having fiber due to the NBN rollout. That really is not our limiting factor - our culture and generally small funding amounts is.
they're splitting the hair between "muscle wasting" and "burning muscles". I don't know if its a question of internal logic or not. They are separate things, and when you fast your body does some stuff with HGH (which can skyrocket hundreds of percents) which I've read is supposed to reduce some of the expected muscle loss.

They're technically correct, the best kind of correct (?)
Disagree with tab for new item, as this is how you enter data horizontally in consecutive spreadsheet cells. Agree with other comments tho :)
Personally a big factor has been cost of living. Housing prices are out of control in Australia, especially eastern capital cities, and servicing mortgage/rent without a stable salary requires a lot of planning without a grant.

The result is that unless you are able to acquire funding, you result to trying to getting something built outside of your job, which is much more difficult to pull off successfully with the limited time available.
You might find my own effort in this area appropriate to you: https://prooftoys.org/. Whether it is _exceedingly gentle_ is a legitimate question, but the site works hard to present logic and an embedded deductive system for learners whose background may be just ordinary high school mathematics. You might think of the website in these parts:

1) An introduction to logic through pictures, basically Venn diagrams with explanation. This is a point of view on propositional calculus.

2) A brief presentation of the rules of the logic of "simple type theory" at a raw beginner's level.

3) A number of completely rigorous simple proofs, some in pure logic, and some about real numbers, starting from the classic "complete ordered field" axioms that define the behavior of real numbers. The proofs are all done by computer from the ground up using the logic and axioms (with a handful of gaps). The proofs are all available for reading online, down to any level of detail, interactively, and at the reader's discretion.

4) A web-based tool that lets you build and edit your own proofs.

User feedback on the site is very welcome, and I will answer questions also as far as I am able.
> Trying to rebuild that basic functionality using ad hoc solutions takes way more time and rapidly becomes more cumbersome as the wheel gets reinvented when k8s as a platform has well documented solutions/tools.

That is just not true.

If you use a well performing language you won't even need scaling for a very long while, unless you expect like "Eurovision Song Contest" type of concurrent users.
That looks great, but I do think I’ve just discovered my price ceiling for caring about how I look on Zoom calls.
During this time, 'secretarial services' were still a thing, and women (and it was predominantly women) did WPM tests (words per minute) to qualify for a role in the office. I remember the noise of the IBM Selectrics in serried ranks in banks, and in offices. Amazing to think we worked just fine on a turn-around time of an hour to get a document done.

Also, this was a window when the printers unions in the Uk were going on strike as the first journalist-direct-entry systems were coming into the news print business. Rupert Murdoch went full bore with a new clean build, shut down the old printing, and locked them out. Huge strikes, police on horseback, riots.

ICL was trying to sell the home office/desktop office concept, it was still very much about the styling of a giant desk/cab with a tiny monitor and built in printer, and the key issue was the quality of the keyboard (as ever)

It turns out that seeing more than one line of input in a buffer helps. Who knew?
