Crazy to hear that.

Those conversations are my favorite when interviewing candidates because it gives you a view into how their brains work.

I would’ve nerded out about how so many macOS apps use SQLite under the hood because it’s so solid.

SQLite is even used in the Airbus A350 and they signed (approx something like) a 35 year support contact with Airbus for it, I remember hearing in a podcast a long time ago. (Please correct if I’m way wrong here)
I'm pretty happy with i3/sway and can't believe how much Microsoft spent on case studies when tiling window managers do appear more productive
I came here to point out the exact same thing!
True, the natsec Republican your polity elected did have to overcome a natsec Democrat or visa-versa.

I encourage you to attend some meetings of your local party Republican or Democrat (whichever is dominant) and see how the people you get to elect are chosen. What you'll find is the folks controlling that process are deeply under the influence of a status quo and that most unorthodoxy there is very quickly marginalized.
im not sure thats true, but putting that aside, why do you feel it cant scale across national borders?
> All of social media is broken right now.

Not all, at least for me.

VKontakte is the least broken of them all. There's still chronological feed and 95% of it is posts from people and pages you follow. But I imagine it's not very popular, or even known, outside of Russian-speaking countries. Don't get me wrong, there are product managers now and they do keep on relentlessly pushing their agenda (the TikTok clone aka "clips" no one asked for), but compared to what Facebook/Instagram routinely pulls off, VK feels extremely conservative.

Twitter has an algorithmic feed at all? I tend to forget that. There's a small button at the top right that I never click. One thing that DOES annoy the crap out of me though, is their insistence on exposing me to people I don't follow. Those "%user% liked" and "%user% follows" things. If only there was a dedicated button for showing someone else's tweet to your followers!
A fun bonus detail: the libc used by many Docker containers doesn't implement TCP DNS at all, and just returns the truncated result from the UDP response as if it was the whole answer.
It's getting hard because the water goes away. It means the wood shrinks, warps and cracks as fibers get closer to one another.

In the case of Oak, the wood is pretty dense already. The shrinkage stills happens, but less than green pine for example.

Also, green Oak has some pliability to it and is much easier to work on than seasoned Oak. Carpenters will use green Oak as much as possible and let it finish to dry on site, so joins are perfectly held in place and the overall fit is tighter. Of course, proper craftsmanship would have built the right tolerances for wood drying up directly in the work piece. So, you know, I think the carpenters there have some experience.

Using seasoned Oak - like what you would find in dead trees that are still standing - can be super unproductive. It is so hard that it will break your chainsaw / chisel if you're not careful and be otherwise full of pest / mushrooms.

That's why I think the Canard Enchainé is trying to spread some shit, just because they like the smell.

I would be extremely cautious about using any consumer grade TLC or quad-level-cell SSD in a "NAS" for serious purposes because of well known write lifespan issues.

There's a reason that a big difference in price exists between a quad-level-cell 2TB SSD and an expensive enterprise grade one with a much higher TB-write-before-dead rating.

This might look cool but check back in a few years and see how much of the drives' cumulative write lifespan is worn out.

I also cannot even imagine spending $4000+ on a home file server/NAS with copper only 10GbE NIC and it not having at least one 10G SFP+ interface network card.

Okay, so he wants it to be tiny? But in a home environment the major problem is more power consumption and noise, so you can often go with a well ventilated 4U height rackmount case for full size ATX motherboard, which is roughly the size of a midtower PC case turned on its side.

This lets you use motherboards that will have enough PCI-E 3.0 x8 slots for at least one dual-port Intel SFP+ 10G NIC which are very, very cheap on ebay these days.
Tbh I find this comment hilarious given the story we are commenting on. In this case, it is Meta/Instagram that is trying to copy TikTok, and yet still can't pull off as good a recommendation algorithm.
That's a good question. Seems like a good place to start though.
Dependencies would be wonderful. We use ADO and it’s a constant annoyance when I have to open a PR in one repo that will break unless another PR in another repo merges.
Has anyone tried to replace NAS with a cloud service? If you have gig internet it should but I'm not sure if dropbox etc can keep up.

> The Fed doesn't offer anyone yield on holding dollars. You get yield from holding treasuries and interbank commercial paper. The Fed influences the yield on these instruments by buying and selling them using a theoretically infinite supply of its own dollars.

i think my understanding of bond pricing is adequate. what i don't understand is how much of this yield (from treasuries, commercial paper) is achieved by simply increasing the money supply in the future -- regardless of which entity actually does that -- v.s. coming from an external source.

a few hypotheticals -- based on my understanding -- for the case where none of this yield comes from commercial paper:
1. after 24 years of 3% rates, the money supply's doubled.
2. after 24 years of 3% rates, the money supply's been kept constant by levying a tax equivalent to the original money supply.

in the former, nobody should care what the rate is: it's a nominal metric completely detached from anything "real". in the latter, the rate is meaningful because it's attached to something that's redistributive.

introducing commercial paper: i guess this is where rates (coupled with reserve requirements) could contract the supply. if banks generally borrow more from the fed than they lend to it, then higher rates would decrease the supply over time. if the opposite, then raising rates temporarily decreases the money in circulation but inflates the supply over time. if the goal is to tighten supply, then i don't understand why the fed would ever borrow from banks, since that liability forces an increased supply in the long run. it would make more sense to me to decrease supply simply by increasing reserve requirements. but anyway, this is a complicated enough interaction for me brain that i just wish there were guides out there that set out to show the far-reaching effects of fed rates.
The authors also give the paper some motivation at the outset by referring to a dispute between Supreme Court justices about what should be obvious to a viewer of a video of a protest. One justice said that the video depicted protected speech activity, while another said that it didn't.
Clearly, even the EU doesn’t care enough to enforce the law or they would have already. They’ve literally had years.

What does it say about the credibility of the EU that it passes laws it doesn’t even enforce?
Wait, people use something else to see the videos from their subscribed channels? I'm genuinely curious.
> Thailand

I disagree. Granted Thailand is big, and Bangkok itself is huge, so I've only seen small parts of a few cities in the country. But while I definitely saw poverty and ramshackle structures, litter was relatively minor. In fact, I've seen worse litter in places in some regions of western Europe. I've definitely seen some bad litter in places in large US cities.

I've never seen anything like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7O0jbTRD7Y

edit - I challenged myself to try to find some really dirty parts of bangkok in street view. I didn't find a good example yet, but I had to laugh when while searching for an example of litter, I instead found a woman cleaning trash - https://www.google.com/maps/@13.7627877,100.4965608,3a,64.2y...
If that happens I’ll form a corporation, rent forever and have my employer pay my corporation and move to a state without income tax.
This is one of the biggest problems to Linux on the desktop that hasn't been addressed with all the work. If it gets large enough, Patents.

Design patents by Microsoft, Design patents by Apple, Design patents by Google, Design patents by third parties, software patents on algorithms, and countless codec patents that Linux users violate every time they download an H.264, H.265, or AAC, or AptX encoder or decoder, and DMCA laws they violate every time they play a DVD. To this day, Fluendo sells $20-$30 Gstreamer Codec Packs that are legally licensed in the US for businesses who notice and care. However, so few care at this point Fluendo discontinued the legal DVD player, leaving basically no legal equivalent on Linux.

It's easy to ignore when the companies that own most of them don't feel threatened. But if GNU/Linux was on 40% of PC Desktops, Microsoft would be absolutely eyeing those patents, and MPEG LA + Access Advance would be figuring out how to launch codec lawsuits, and the DVD CCA with the MPA would be running after anyone with a copy of VLC, Adobe might be hunting for patents in the printing stack that could be construed as PostScript-related, and on and on.
What if they spent $20m to create the innovation? Who judges when an innovation is appropriate to convert in the manner? What happens to the innovations that aren't deemed worthy of conversion?

Good point.

To be fair, most gas connections are done by hand and can be done reasonably safe when done right. The fact it was hand done probably wasn't the problem, the problem was it was done by someone unexperienced and potentially without the right tools and parts.

Unless you're saying all the plumbing was only finger tight and they never used a wrench, which is just so wrong it didn't even originally cross my mind as what you're saying as done by hand. You're gonna need a good pipe wrench to get your gas connections tight.

I'm guessing they publish their tax rate on the first page to counter criticisms of "big corps that pay no taxes".

It's hard to deny that a company cannot grow forever with the same product. There's literally only so many people on Earth. It's not a bad thing for growth to stop. It's a bad thing for your product to offer a sub par user experience though. I think this is where Facebook has suffered as they prioritized metrics and numbers over making a product that people love.
I don’t think it has been tested in court. It’s akin to a U.S. Court issuing a search warrant on a house in Paris.

Guidance is atrocious.

While the misses might not look bad in isolation, the overall picture isn’t looking good. The COO just quit after an extremely successful run, guidance is bad, and worst of all, the planned rebranding to Metaverse has been hijacked by crypto bros shilling ponzis on steroids.
These tools seem like such a lazy solution to something as important as accessibility.

I may not have picked the most charitable example, although I don't know why Meta would sponsor something that shows the platform in a bad light. But I've never seen anything that looks good from Meta.

I am very bullish on FB:

1) Founder still has majority voting shares, gives a lot more freedom.

2) I think the Metaverse stuff will pay off in the long run

3) They are making the changes necessary to compete with TikTok.

"Of the Scottish Government’s renewable electricity target for 2015-2020, onshore wind accounted for 60.3% of the total, offshore wind 10.7%, and renewable hydro 18.1%, with other sources making up 8.3%."

If that's the case, then the war is already lost.

But happily, in the EU - the market I operate in - server-side analytics is seen as an avenue towards compliance.

Obviously server-side GTM will be abused in the absence of regulation, but that was also true of the existing technologies. Strong and consistent enforcement can and is bringing companies into compliance.

I just went through getting the parts for my own NAS. All SSD was way overkill for my needs, I ended up going with spinning disks and a SLOG cache. I kept waffling about the motherboard to use but I ended up with a x470d4u motherboard with a Ryzen 7 4700GE which brings the TDP down to 35W. I wanted this to be kind of quiet. I will put a 10Gb network card on it eventually.

Maybe not THE BEST (tm) choices. But I was getting bad decision paralysis choosing parts.

I was at the house of the owner of a company I worked for. I mentioned my amusement at seeing a school bus in this very rural area on the way to his house. He complained that he didn’t have kids so he didn’t see why he should have to pay for that. I replied that, as my employer, he was benefiting from my public school education. That ended that conversation.
Yep. ITT:

How does laundering the info through The New Yorker make it authoritative? Any putative fact checking for the article itself would necessarily entail asking him "Hey Phil, that article you just wrote for us about the inspiration for your best-selling, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning novel - was that true or were you just having a giggle?"
I hate Facebook. I'm excited for more VR/Metaverse.
I work on Alexa and for whatever it’s worth, I can confirm that Amazon is telling the truth about how Alexa listens and about what is done with your data.

This is all publicly available info, and perhaps there’s no reason why you should trust me any more than you trust Amazon as a company, but as one privacy-conscious engineer to another, I promise that your ambient conversations are not being stored or sent to Amazon and that any data you delete in the app (either by specifying an auto-delete period or manually deleting it) is actually, really, truly deleted.

A process running locally on your Alexa device listens for the “wake word”.[0] This audio is only processed locally within a constantly-overwritten memory buffer, it is neither stored nor transmitted. Only once the wake word is detected does Alexa begin to transmit an utterance to the cloud for processing. I’ve worked with the device stack and it really isn’t transmitting your ambient conversations.

Within the Alexa app[1], you can see and hear all of your stored data and can delete any of it. You can also control the duration after which it is auto-deleted. From working with ASR datasets, I can confirm that deleted audio (and the associated text transcript) is really deleted, not just hidden from your view.

I never owned an Alexa or other smart home device before I worked on it, and I’m not sure I’d buy another company’s device where I lack the same ability to “trust but verify”, so I’m not sure how much weight my word should carry. But I can give my word that Alexa is not transmitting your ambient conversations or just setting “deleted=true” in a database when you tell it to delete your data.

Still missing the point. You concerns mean absolutely nothing when the essentials in your society break down.
I get you. I'm sorry that I got a bit defensive, and I didn't mean to detract from your point.
This answer is accurate but no one seems to realise it. Under standard contracts users waive their rights including privacy rights under GDPR. Their are no user agreements anymore, only contracts.
4-day to start
personally if I had to do this I would go with rotating disk for bulk storage in a NAS, and something like two 2TB to 4TB size NVME SSDs in a proper video editing workstation motherboard directly attached to pci-e 4.0 bus.

This will be considerably faster for working with "immediate" needs of video files rather than over a 10GbE network.

like, a difference of 900MBps over network vs 2500MBps with local sequential read/writes on NVME SSD on same motherboard.
I'm not them, but it's an invitation for a different answer than the one that seems obviously true. I don't think that it's constructive or less "argumentative" to work to come up with a framing for a question that makes it seem less one sided; making the answer less obvious is the job of people who have a different opinion.
OMG . Not personal, but you're delusional and/or straight up lying.
Denser cities are more enjoyable to live ? Wrong.
Denser cities safer for children to play outside ? Wrong.
Cities are loud because of cars ? With all that increased density you will have your surroundings much noisier when it hurts most - at the end of the day, when everyone is back from the job, and having a good time at home. Loud music, celebrations, brawls, arguments, etc.

Some time ago I had asked one of my Indian friends (who manages a software team in India and the US and has travelled the world, so he has a varied perspective) what he thinks is the biggest barrier to India's advancement? He said "Corruption. The bureaucracy and the government have so much corruption at so many levels". This sounds like a different way to state your mention of "management failures". Hopefully the additional worldwide scrutiny is a motivator for change.
Well I can make an article and submit it if you want saying the same thing. This is an issue that badly needs to be addressed. The software industry is crap and HN are not angels or not complicit.
Cloudflare TV – Listen to Cloudflare Engineers
Not all suburbs are set up like that. Mine has a nice “downtown” area in walking distance with plenty to do. There’s mid-rise buildings, shops, restaurants, bars, and a train station to the city if you get bored.
I was a SWE at google for a few years around 2013. I totally recommend the experience to anyone.

I left to join a small startup founded by friends, another experience I'd recommend to anyone.

In particular, I learned a ton. My prior job was a startup with a totally green team. At google, I found my team incredibly bright and motivated which was contagious -- You want to work hard an succeed because everyone else does. I can't speak to how this works for other teams.

I learned a ton about proper engineering, I got to see a larger, more well-written, more well-tested than I'll see in a long time. While I don't work with large-scale distributed systems written by thousands of people today, some of the lessons transfer.

For me, just access to the tribal knowledge was the most useful -- I was not an SRE but learned a lot about incident response by going to talks and reading threads. Seeing what is possible and what others have done is very inspiring.

I can't speak to FAAN or how G is today, but I'd recommend working there in 2013.

You certainly have less of an impact at such a huge company compared to a startup, but I've also found medium-sized companies to have that same blunting of impact, without any of the benefits.
