hey thanks! Since reading this post, I remembered that hands-down the best talk I ever gave had _quite a lot_ of humor in it, lots of it technical.

I'm quite proud of it, and as I've told other people about it, I specifically mention a "laughs per minute" rate of, for the first few minutes, an impressive rate! (It wasn't just my humor, definitely a group experience) I think it went great, in large part because it was a quite improvisational, reactive experience.

It feels _so_ strange to plug oneself's talk, but here we are:

"Move Slow and Improve Things: Performance Improvement in a Rails App"

To the degree that it was successful, it was ENTIRELY due to a highly supportive group of people eagerly invested in my success. What a powerful phenomena to have at your back.

update: It was sorta hastily prepared, and my gosh, rewatching some if now years later there's a lot I wish I'd done better in the organization and clarity of some how how I presented. It just totally had elements of a standup routine, as many entertaining talks do. This is independent of the value, correctness, necessary truthfulness of the content, of course.
Especially since it has been tried and that is exactly what happened.
The scrotum can rise or fall based on the need for cooling. Can we concoct the genes that would allow our heads+brains to do the same ?
Yet, web developers have been using some of those exotic patterns for ages and they don't complain. They even prefer that way to traditional GUIs by using Electron massively now. Rust GUI frameworks are typically based on strict separation between a model and a view and communication between them with messages which is something much closer to web programming than traditional GUI programming. An OOP soup with arbitrary handlers messing around with state directly in random places is IMHO a bad idea in any language anyway.
This isn't really how it works though. It READS epub3, but only data that are valid epub2 structures is rendered. To get a subset (not even all) of epub3 formatting it needs to be built as a Kepub. You may be able to trick it with the extension, but there is some syntax difference. It really is a conversion if you want anything approaching true epub3 and even then its as mentioned a subset.
Imagine you own a mattress store. There is another rival mattress store in your city, and you both compete for customers.

You don't make the mattresses yourselves, you purchase from a manufacturer and sell in your storefront. There are only a few different mattress manufacturers.

Your rival, instead of adjusting prices or organizing better marketing, simply plays the manufacturers not to sell to your store for six months.

Unless you can rapidly find a brand new source of mattresses or have a very healthy rainy day fund, you will likely go under fairly quickly after selling your remaining stock.

This leaves only one store in town, and they can set the price to whatever they want. Now that they are the only established incumbent they can easily recreate this scenario with any new mattress stores that want to open in your city.

Now the people of your city have only one store for mattresses, and have to pay whatever is asked for. This is not because the business did anything especially well to win more customers, or because you did anything wrong. They simply destroyed the competition through anti-competitive behavior and have negatively affected everyone else in your area.

This is why it is illegal.
If it's a retrofit (ie.: the ev charger/nor the meter have the right technology and setup) EV energy pattern consumption is rather unique, and is very easy to understand consumption through energy disaggregation algorithm.

It's a technology already used at utilities companies to understand for instance if a household has electric or gas hobs.

These are trained with pairs of image and caption text, so they work better with text inputs that resemble description for paintings than with simple descriptions or with William-Gibsonian hyperspecified description-text, though it's tempting to do the latter two.

Kind of true, except operator[]() does indeed do bounds checking across all major compilers when compiling in debug mode, and all of them have switches to keep the same behavior in release mode as well.

> The VI keyboard shortcuts only make logical sense on a specific Tektronix 4014 terminal that was popular at the time: 46 years ago.

vi is more than hjkl, and those four non-mnemonic keybindings make up for it by being extremely easy to press for QWERTY users. The vast majority of other commands are perfectly “reasonable” (easy to memorize and not dependent on any antiquated hardware) — append, backward word, change, delete, end of word, find letter, go to (OK, this one is just an arbitrary prefix), and so forth.
AH. I have "powr.io"'s spammy tracking widgets blocked.
> Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

It's abuse.
We agree on all this. But my point is, to make the whole world trek to just your store is not better for competition than to make just those in your city come to your store, logically.

As well, although this may not contradict what you intended to say: patents, for example, precisely grant "the right to exclude." Exclusive territories are a frequent way to do this. So in that case, it isn't necessarily illegal.

Open source intelligence exists. We know this story isn't true. Daily reports of casualties show a 10 to 1 ratio of dead/injured Ukrainians to Russians.

I always wonder about these types of studies too. I have diagnosed delayed sleep phase disorder, secondary to adhd. I sleep odd hours compared to the norm - approximately 3am to 10am. However, my schedule (while odd) is completely stable. I go to bed when I feel tired and I wake up feeling refreshed.

Does the fact that my natural sleep habits are so off-the-bell-curve put me in the "disrupted circadian rhythm" group or not? I never feel sleep deprived. And I've been told by specialists that trying to force myself to sleep a normal schedule could put me at a significantly increased risk of dementia, alzheimers, stroke, heart attack, and more.

So the thought that I might still be doing myself harm sucks.
Seen this on a couple of sites. In one instance I submitted a support ticket that went unanswered for a while and then, out of the blue, good news - the issue has been resolved and you should see your site appearing in search results very soon!

The sites involved have a history of being plagiarised and various negative-seo attacks. No other common pattern I can fathom.

I don’t agree. I’m better versed in politics than most and HN comes across as naive about it, but not crazy.

Nutrition seems a whole new ballgame. I’m going to speculate it’s because we know pretty much nothing about nutrition, and to hackers that’s unacceptable. We like to know the rules so we can hack them. But in nutrition no one even knows the rules, maybe the rules are different for different types of people, and that’s deeply unsatisfying.
I love reading all these new advancements no operating systems. I can't help but fear that we will be stuck for a long time with the same old "posix compliant unix like operating systems" though.
Story time - My dad asked the local school which had a goat if he can borrow it for a weekend. It was to tame his backyard. As the backyard was enclosed with no chance of the goat escaping, we left it by itself. The goat was be extremely hungry and ate everything insight including the roots, leaves and bark. By Monday, the backyard is barren and took months recover.

Moral of the story - keep an eye on the goat.
I must say I really liked social networking when it started out. Now I barely use it anymore because it has been poisoned. And I do not mean the discourses that happen there, I mean the entities who are running it.

If I meet an old friend in my city I would take them for a walk in a public park for a chat, or sit at a nice cafe. What I would not do is go to a place where I do not trust the people who listen to sell that information. And this is what social media has become.

It must not be like this, and maybe the solution is really aomething like the fediverse, but social media without the people you like is no use.
It is a prisoners dilemma, people want safety from all the dangerous cars, so they buy a bigger car to feel safe, this makes other people want even bigger cars than your car so they don't end up being crushed by you. The end result is less safety and more deaths and injuries.
Looks nice, but I'm puzzled that for a scientific table the temperatures are given in Fahrenheit and Celsius instead of Kelvin.
I understand, that it's easier for the non-scientific reader, but in this case it should be adjusted to the language as well. E.g. most non-english readers are probably not familiar with Fahrenheit.

I’ve noticed it’s better to install Windows without a connection to the internet. There will still be some packaged in software you might want to rid of, but at least not the advert apps like duolingo, candy crush and netflix. Then disable automatic installation of apps via Windows update and clean it up before allowing it to the internet.

Actually reminds me of how you absolutely should not install Windows XP with the ethernet cable plugged in back when more home computers were directly connected to the Internet. That thing would be chock full of worms within minutes, so you had to first install a software firewall while offline.
I'm pretty sure you shouldn't try to piggyback off of a for-profit company's name either.

In fact atleast over here in Finland naming one's company is specifically reviewed by the patent and registry bureau to make sure it doesen't resemble any existing companies. It costs around 100-450€ and is mandatory for any new company
"But wait… How do I know all that? That’s because Radxa did the right thing and publicly announced the issue on its forum, apologized to its users, and offered resolutions we’ll discuss below."

That's because they're selling to a market where knowledgeable people talk to each other. If they hadn't done that, they would have been faced with "Radxa products unreliable, not recommended". Since what they're selling is basically a me-too product, that could have killed them.

The more people mining in proof of work, the more random hashes needed to secure a block. This is what makes it demand so much energy.

This isn’t the case with ZK provers. Each computation yields a solution, like regular fixed arithmetic math. Using more powerful FPGAs and adding more parallel provers, you can prove the same circuits in less time and less energy.
I don’t know, I would much rather prefer a sane metaprogramming system instead of this unhygienic mess of a hack.

> Also: Whatsapp somehow works on dumbphones. I don't know how (yet) but there's apps for KaiOS, Samsung Bada and other old phones. I wonder if vendors reverse engineered the APIs and implemented their own clients.

How "dumb" are those dumbphones? I ask because since around 2002 (prior to smartphones), some phones allowed apps to be downloaded. From around 2005, most phones supported downloadable apps, written by third parties.

They were called "midlets", written in Java, and I wrote a few of them myself.

I saw a domain that looked mildly interesting but was very very specific, nothing like a common word or known name. It was parked at Epik.

I filled out the contact form with 3-figure offer for it. A few hours later I get an email from Rob Monster saying the domain can be sold for a 6-figure amount. Compete with his email signature and full contact details.

I was surprised the CEO is handling domain purchase offers from nobodies. Is that common at Epik?

My sister has a small farm and in addition to cows and horses she also has rabbits. Every spring, parents show up to buy a rabbit to have at home. When the deal is done my sister takes the parents aside and tell them that if they plan or feel by the end of the summer that they want to let the rabbit loose, they can return it for free.

What she does not tell is that our brother-in-law is a chef and happily makes rabbit stew of the returned rabbits. If there was ever a win-win situation, this is it.

Things that I post here, on my site at CircuitBored.Com, and even ideas from TikTok and other social media places have been increasingly paraphrased and reposted a lot lately. I've frequently observed bots crawling through my site pages in logs... We're in an age of content theft because there is desperation for profit and continually renewed posts and reposts.

I have no idea where it ends, there are even AI driven sites dedicated to reword text that is copied and pasted into them, so there's an endless supply of resources for plagiarism now. I think the only real thing I can do is keep my deepest ideas and inventions to myself and to not share them until Wikipedia feels like I'm relevant enough to vouch so I can be verified.

Many of the people and resources that steal text over years have already achieved verification off the back of content and idea paraphrasing. The Internet has turned into a steaming pile of misrepresentation lately... Be careful what you share on it. Some of my most dedicated followers might even be the ones waiting for me to post IP so they can claim it first... The common factor on most content scheme sites is how verbose they are, and how grammar is often suspect, in non-human looking ways. I also notice high engagement numbers with my most pirated posts, but often no likes, that's a sure sign that something is afoot.

I have noticed hijacked ideas on even resources that would normally be considered reputable. I'm pretty sure this is happening to everyone who posts input that makes sense. I have even observed questions posed on sites like HN bust for the purposes of crowd-sourcing research in a very lazy manner. Be careful what you share publicly if it's patent-worthy folks... As opportunity for growth and recognition shrinks online, content and idea theft will only increase.

Copywriting may eventually make a strong, shocking, and quite disruptive comeback once a content paraphrasing search solution is reverse engineered.

People smelt copper scrap into ingots. For a scrap yard this is completely pointless because they know how to inspect unprocessed copper waste and then have to cut the ingots up, you are spending money and time on your copper ingots and get less money in the end. Why do people insist on doing it? Because it is a hobby, because doing something yourself can be fun.

By your logic nobody should go on a vacation because the ROI is negative.

Startups are the definition of being bought up or busting. It's incredibly rare that they do anything of use other than create IP and devs for a big corp to swallow.

Modern tech doesn't solve problems that mean anything. After we made calculators, excel, 3d modeling, phones etc - the world wonder was complete. Now we're just trying to add all sorts of ways to get money from people for things they dont need, rent seeking a solution looking for a problem. It's all a about massive amounts of money, not actually solving a problem.

The most useful tech startup will be one that ends tech startups, and begins startups in the foundations of society. Agriculture, social culture, education, construction, governance, etc.

But, let's be honest, we like the money, and as much as we can complain about where it comes from and it's incentives, it's also why we're here.
