Nautilus is actually an example that supports how in-depth science reporting can be difficult to monetize. I really like many of their articles in the publication, but there was a major incident a while back when they were severely (many months, even longer than a year) behind on paying their writers.

I actually happened to meet a writer who had this happen to them, but this incident was also publicized in an open letter (source: https://nwu.org/an-open-letter-from-freelancers-at-nautilus-..., with discussion about this on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/aznfusion/status/941051077922869248). This happened in 2017, and I'm not sure how long it took to get resolved.
There there are chefs, people who understand chemistry and use their foundational knowledge to cook interesting things and make up new things, and there are cooks who take a recipe and follow it to produce a dish.

Really good cooks have experience around cooking dishes and know that they can substitute somethings, they can cut down on the butter and it will taste just fine, or that it needs a bit more ginger than the recipe asks for.

Really good chefs can be handed a recipe and transpose it to use different ingredients or meet different needs (Vegan? no problem! Gluten free? Gotcha!, Etc.) They know their transposition will work because they understand the chemistry that is creating the texture and flavor of the dish they are preparing.

I tend to think if software engineers as the folks who understand the principles behind computation, data structures, and languages which informs their choice of algorithm, or their effort to transpose an algorithm to meet the current need.

I think of coders as the folks who understand how the code they are looking at works and can adapt it to their needs, as long as those needs are not too far different than the original purpose the code was written for. In that case they go out and search for a different chunk of code to start from.
I’ve been a happy mailbox.org user for 4-5 years now and they’re cheap. Take a look at they’re features, primarily being that they’re hosted in Germany.
Great way to eat if you live in a rich country, or, dunno, California, I guess.

Rather than saying "vegan", why not be honest and just say "Silicon Valley diet"?

"Spirulina", "seaweed", "edamame"... I guess I can enjoy my nutritional definiciencies then, eh? Because there's no spirulina, or edible seaweeds, or edamame within a boat trip of where I live.

Btw: you can't get enough B12 from any of the sources you list. But who's afraid of B12 deficiency, when it's for a good cause, amirite?
Seems to 404 or 500 for me. Someone’s not ironically DDOSing this, are they?
They don't have voting rights because they don't have SOL. They don't have SOL because they put it in there to get USDC+USDT.

If they don't believe in the depth of the SOL/USD(C|T) books this could just be a way to sell SOL or go short SOL.

This whale is probably just happy to default on the loan and get liquidated at this point.
>I just can't see why anyone would place this much trust in a PoS coin with a central governance and with major stake by VC in SV.

In a bullrun, no one cares about "decentralisation" or "fundamentals", they just want to make as much money as possible, even if it means interacting with CEXs/CeFi/centralised L1 scamchains etc.

Only when things go south do people understand why "decentralisation" is important.
Bernie Sanders wants a lot more than that and would be left by European views as well, and yeah the left has become radicalized just like the right has, this is all non-controversial

Solend. Not Solana. Nice try though.

Time to put the pitch forks down and is no different to the DAO hack for Ethereum.

Next time, just read beyond the headline, titles rather than quickly spreading outrage everywhere in the comments section. It really doesn't help.

Especially if the source is... ...Reddit.
I'm happy that Telegram is shaking up the Facebook-dominated messaging and social network space.

Also their client apps are open source and have very good Linux support.
I'll try to take a different approach here than I did in my other recent reply to you.

I hear that you're saying that there are possible configurations that are insecure, and that at least some care and attention needs to be invested to avoid problems. I agree. This isn't specific to Kubernetes, as you show in your second link. This can be a problem, and people have in fact suffered harm due to leaving their doors unlocked.

On the other hand, most important security doors in most professional environments are not left unlocked and unmonitored.

If you have already learned basic sysadmin fundamentals, then you have the skills needed to learn to deploy and use Kubernetes just as securely as any other network service. The way that you learn to apply your general sysadmin skills to Kubernetes is by practicing with it. You can supplement your practice with books and training if you really want to, but it's not necessary. If you happen to have other people who have already gone through this process as support, that can help quite a bit. If there are any other better ways that people learn things like this, I have yet to hear of them.

If you don't already have those skills, then the way to build and develop them is exactly the same process. You try stuff out, read some docs, poke at things to see if you can break them. You can supplement this with classes if you like, but they're not necessary. Peers and mentors are great if you have them, but they're not necessary.

What alternative do you have in mind? What about kubernetes specifically is so monstrously complex? People keep asserting this, but I learned it just fine like any other nontrivial software I've ever worked with professionally. My peers at work learned it just fine like any other software we've worked with. My friends and colleagues I keep in touch with from previous jobs have learned it fine.

I don't really understand what kind of complexity bar you're trying to imply is just objectively too high to be reasonable? Yeah, it's got more moving parts than like Redis, because it does way more than Redis does. Sed is simpler than python, but that doesn't mean that you need to be Usain Bolt to learn python.
This is entirely about a single a project trying to prevent cascading issues within itself. Claiming this is about Solana itself is a lie and this post should be deleted.
I'd love to compare lumina too, but you don't support Linux so I'll have to accept a crap webcam over a non functioning one.
I'm not surprised they're using scummy tactics. Their actual software runs like crap, so gotta do whatever they can to get users. I had a work MBP and personal MBP with exactly the same specs, main difference being the Sentinel One agent. The work one was constantly spinning up the fans, S1 was gobbling up memory, and support was completely useless in diagnosing. Their Linux agent isn't much better with constant memory leaks.
The difference between ChromeOS and any Linux distro is like night and day. The software updates are automatic, unobtrusive, and almost instantaneous. Multitouch input stack actually works. You can attach and detach displays as you like without anything weird happening. And all the binaries are highly optimized with profile guidance and link-time optimization.
Except that it literally takes more effort to exclude them than it does to not do so. Bolt is the prime example here: they already have a working web app, and they go out of their way to block people from using it instead of the smartphone app, seemingly only in locales where they believe most people have smartphones. Why? What does that accomplish?

It'd be understandable if the smartphone apps came first and the developers decided a web app wasn't worth it, but a lot of these smartphone-app-only developers use PhoneGap and other tools wherein one already has to write a web app.
OP here, thanks for the kind words!

I hear your point. I’m not saying don’t make a comment, just that folks should try and consider the human on the other side more.

I think you're missing the forest for the trees.

You can apply a variance of that philosophy onto EVERYTHING.

"Automatic transmission merely exists because the general public doesn't know how to use something like manual transmission"

"Calculators merely exist because the general public doesn't know how to use something like a slide ruler"

Note, these are analogies, I'm not saying Patreon is as innovative or world-significant as either. But it IS optimized for a very specific use case, and it does it incredibly well.
> What else would the purpose be?

I would suspect to protect Solend itself.

"Preventing Solana network downtime" feels more like an appeal to Solana people to vote on their proposal rather than ignoring it.

> Note that I think the true purpose of "preventing Solana network downtime" would be to protect the price.

It is possible, and even the norm among people building things, to not think of everything in terms of "protecting the price" of a token.

When Github goes down, the engineers at Github are not thinking "oh no, we must protect $MSFT". They are thinking "Github is down, let's make Github not down".

The .warc structure won't change, so the tables won't change. But you can have SQL views defined instead for common queries.
I think their comment was regarding battery life, not year of invention. A 90s key fob would be dead by now without a battery change even without use.

> Is Dubai a place with good protection against government pressure?

Depends on the government :)

The German government has been throwing a temper tantrum and threatening to bad Telegram because Telegram doesn't respond to data requests from German police and spies.
It's very popular with people who value not having their data stored in plaintext.
Yes their API is one of the best. A simple curl request is enough to send a message and it has been so useful (sentry, uptime, door bell notifications(1), etc).

I always find it funny when people call for regulation in crypto.

I just spent the past few years having crypto bros explain that decentralized finance is better in every way. Now they are decentralizing it and letting the government control it?
Because the problem isn't banking. There are lots of people who don't have access to clean water either. Doesn't mean we need new solutions to provide clean water, but rather we need to figure out why existing solutions don't always work.
HN is full of Idea Guys and Engineers - two clades of businesspeople who see art skill as an unnecessary moat & cost center.

I predict DALL-E art to be on the level of those freaky auto-generated kids' videos for a long time. People see those as successful too. Millions of Views with very little Cost.
That's actually awesome, does Telegram have an API of some sort?
The point of the article is that even a shitty old cell phone handily beats a "mid-range" C920 webcam. Yes, lighting conditions are important to photography, but, as the author demonstrates, cell phone cameras are better even in those scenarios. Furthermore, if you live in northern latitudes you get very little sunlight during the winter so a "window" is not a sufficient solution.
If Chrome OS Flex supported running android apps and google play like upstream it would be a game changer.
This seems to throw lots of issues out, but no solutions. People aren't using cloudflare for no reason.

One small example, everyone is aware cloudflare is down sometimes, but if you ever get even lightly DDOSed, your uptime on cloudflare is likely to be much higher than without.
> I don't think Americans and American companies understand how little trust rest of us have for the American government.

Have you... have you seen our politics? What makes you think that we think other people trust our government? We don't trust our government. Hell, it's trusted so little that one of our large political parties is basically entirely devoted to making sure that the government can't get anything done.
Does the journalist in question happen to be far-left?
Telegram is my main messenger to speak to friends and family. I also use it to connect to the chatrooms of the various open source projects I participate in.
They naturally are because there's just not much there, it's just an LCD.

Making them thicker means you're making them heavier and less rigid and full of nothing for 99% of their volume, making the entire laptop less wieldy (as it gets much thicker).

It also means the hinge can't go as far back as the lid is now in the way (forget laptops which sit open flush). Or you have to design a completely novel (and much more expensive, and faillible) hinge system which better supports a thicker lid e.g. the Surface Book's fulcrum hinge, except instead of that thicker lid being a computer it's just air, so you get nothing for that expense and inconvenience.
Oh, I'm sure that. I just meant as a root language I don't believe they share a common ancestor
I have my own personal projects and on them, yes, the programming is the hardest part.

Leading a team or joining a new one? It's translating what the company needs into the set of instructions. Ambiguity in that process leads to stalled juniors, even if they're excellent coders. I've been there, both as the frustrated demoralized junior and, later in my career, as the team lead trying to make that process work.

Yes, I'd be concerned if someone literally cannot write compilable code in the programming language you're working in. But usually if someone makes it far enough to be employed there's something else going on if they're producing serious garbage. Skill, attitude, motivation, team morale, or bad instructions and bad leadership. Honestly, my experience in seeing teams dysfunction is that it's best to start from the end of that list and move backwards.
Astounded by some of the negative comments there. (Probably partly Twitter pushing the rage bait to the top, but still). Does Telegram just have a stupid fanbase?

- people claiming MTProto (Telegram's custom protocol which is basically a worse TLS) makes it in any way more secure than pretty much any other system

- people saying moxie is just pushing MobileCoin. Maybe, I don't know, but what does that have to do with Signal? And even if Signal is a total scam, how does that make Telegram not terrible?

- people saying Signal is backdoored by <3letteragency>. We don't know if that's even possible. If it is, then probably so are almost all other e2e encrypted chat apps. And it's about 100x more plausible that Telegram is backdoored - it certainly could be.

The only slightly valid criticism I saw there is that you have to use your actual phone number with Signal. But that doesn't make Telegram any good.

I'd take Telegram over SMS, but I'd almost take SMS+rot13 over Telegram.
The telegram web page claims on the first page:

> Telegram messages are heavily encrypted and can self-destruct.

How is Joe Average supposed to understand that?

Adding to that, the secret chat encryption has always been Weird (capital W) and in one of the previous generations the server could actually MITM it. Trivially.
> They call names to anybody who dares to ask a genuine question they don't like.

Made up nonsense without any proofs.
So they don't give it to Germany, that's good. Do they give it to Dubai's government?
Or like, just straight up get people to practice being shape rotators lol. Do picture of something in art class, ask them to draw it from a different perspective.

Math is ultimately about bridging the gap between fuzzy warm intuition and and cold artificial rigor. Focusing on either in isolation defeats the purpose.

A smart contract can be upgraded to take over a whale’s account? How is that a thing? I remember the whole “code is law” on the chain, rather than trusting escrow/third party/judges

>Grant emergency power to Solend Labs to temporarily take over the whale’s account so the liquidation can be executed OTC and avoid pushing Solana to its limits. This would be done via a smart contract upgrade. Emergency powers will be revoked once the whale’s account reaches a safe level
It's a shame that they'll never have a reason to make a standalone webcam using some of their existing tech.

Maybe we just need a software solution that can turn a phone into a webcam (edit: oh, Apple did that already)
Hi, I am the author of Dragonfly. Following this post, I performed the loadtest on instance m5.4xlarge, recorded myself and posted the video here: http://assets.dragonflydb.io/videos/video2609676488.mp4

the command I used to load was: "memtier_benchmark --ratio 1:0 -t 28 -c 20 -n 100000 --hide-histogram --distinct-client-seed -d 256"

I did the recording to clear out any doubts whether my benchmark results are real.

As a kid I had a multitude of "from zero" projects. There was no Internet. No SO. There were reference books and manuals but none of those really let you just copy paste your project. Later on I worked in environments with many smaller projects that again I took on from zero and worked on for years.

Boy do I miss those days now that I work for larger companies and with larger teams where the opportunity to do that is pretty rare. Give me a blank slate all day for any project.

Unicode validation runs at gigabytes per second. Text rendering is a tiny, tiny subset of game rendering. Not sure about highlighting, sounds like a mix of parsing and game rendering, so that's likely again to be one process that can run at gigabytes per second and another process that is a tiny subset of a process that often runs at 240Hz these days. Autocomplete, no clue, probably this could also be fast? You're like doing a lookup into an inverted index or a hash table or a range tree or something? So it takes like less than 3 microseconds to decide what the contents of the box should be? Oh, it doesn't, because you decided the way this should work is that several different processes should communicate with each other using JSON-RPC just to figure out what goes in the autocomplete box? Yeah, okay, sounds like a problem with the design then. Notably World of Warcraft does not send json over sockets between multiple local processes to decide how wide the nonempty part of each mob's health bar should be every single frame, and maybe one day we could try to figure out whether there's a reason for that.

regarding graphic design and art skills on the PC, my recollection of Microsoft competing with Apple was that the frat guys and outsourcers at MSFT specifically outsourced any artwork to get it as cheaply as possible, and actively mocked expensive graphic designers, in much the same way they actively mocked business rivals -- loudly jeering.

A better title would be "Solend seized $170MM of user funds".

Claiming it was done by "Solana" is incorrect. Claiming it's to prevent a drop in Solana's price is clickbait & editorializing.
Also, it looks like the liquidation was pre approved by the contract that the whale deposited into. It was gonna happen regardless. They are doing this to change the way it is handled (off the chain instead).

I’m not sure about the implications but even Solend did not seize anything.

I still think this fucked up but it had nothing to do with solana.
> Find a nice warm (tungsten/more orange) lamp if your lighting is inadequate.

Just buy a high-CRI LED bulb from the hardware store.

It shouldn't necessarily be "warm". In an office only used during daylight, and lit with commercial lighting, a "warm" bulb is going to look extremely orange and out of place.

What matters most is matching color temperatures of your light sources.

Cloudflare provides an immense value for small sites. Doing DDoS protection with specialized firewall hardware was one of the most expensive things you could do, so it wasn't really affordable for lots of people. They win by solving a problem. I believe that the issue of Cloudflare as a man-in-the-middle is a smaller issue for people running websites than the damage done by potential attacks.
I'm a bit older so ymmv, but I rarely end up on SO. If I'm trying to figure something out most of my time is spent in the reference/documentation/source. If the docs lack examples and I'm having trouble visualizing a particular feature I might look to another project that consumes the same lib for examples.

I encourage my younger colleagues to do the same. SO can be a great starting point, but it's in your best interest to take what you've found and then consult the docs/source (depending on what you're working on). Many times you'll find a better fit for your particular solution than what was presented on SO, and at the very least you come away with a more complete understanding.

If you have a solid grasp on something trivial you've copied, I might jest a bit, but have no real problem that it was yanked. If you don't understand it and it 'just worked', that's gonna set off some alarms.
Is there a forum or somewhere web crawlers hang out online? I'd love the learn about more sophisticated projects like this.

What sucks most is that Logitech, which used to be a proud name (back when "Feels good / Feels better") has gone totally to shit. Even their mice are designed to fail in a year. (Spill on the desk, the mouse that only got damp on the bottom is dead, dead, dead. That can't be accidental.)

A full article on what went wrong at Logitech corporate could be enlightening, if not helpful.
