As a small ISP you definitely can peer and many do, you just aren’t going to get settlement-free peering with any of the big eyeball networks like Comcast.

Something like Seattle IX is a good example of where lots of peering sessions could be established (although I haven’t looked at Jared’s ASN in any detail to see where it’s present).

https://www.seattleix.net/home

Any traffic you’re able to offload via peering you wouldn’t be paying an IP transit to haul, so it’s worth seeing if networks like Netflix are on the Route Servers (https://www.ams-ix.net/ams/documentation/ams-ix-route-server...) at any IX nearby your network, seeing if you can negotiate a session over the IX even if they don’t participate in the RS, or seeing if you can do PNI (sling a cable between your networks in a facility you’re both located in).

Edit: Jared’s on Detroit IX. https://www.peeringdb.com/net/20268
The book I learned from suggested five types of knots for different problems and suggested learning one of type, which I found to be a great starting point.

The five were: a stopper knot, to keep a line from pulling through something, a fixed loop, a running loop, a hitch (attach a line to a thing), and a bend (attach a rope to a rope).

My go-to knots were a figure 8, bowline, running bowline, clove hitch, and sheet bend respectively.

C++ is overly complex because of its backwards compatibility with C, and then its backwards compatibility with C++. And a few design decisions whose consequences are visible in hindsight.

Zig and Rust are not overly complex.

> A systems language essentially just adds access to pointers.

They remove the garbage collector, and are designed to facilitate manually managing memory. That's why they're more complex than you expect. If you just want to add pointers, you get something like Go.

>it will take around 50 years

That would be twice as long as it took the US to electrify 90% of farm houses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Electrification_Act

>Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn was a major proponent of the REA, which he helped pass in 1936 as Chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. Rayburn stated in 1959 that ninety percent of farm homes in the U.S. were electrified, compared to three percent in the early 1930s.

Furthermore, electrifying gas stations along major highways will obviously be much easier than electrifying farms scattered around everywhere.
Yes, Texas is the #1 producer of solar (by far) and #2 for wind.

I had solar installed on our house last year - just before supply chain issues got really bad - and so far this summer, it's generated enough to power our house every day. Of course, not every circuit is connected to it though, so I get to deal with the bs of "net billing" but the capacity is there.
Or here's a crazy idea, maybe Python is not a holy gospel and you shouldn't use it for things that it's obviously badly suited for. You have a GIL in there, what other subtle hints do you need that your scenario is not well-supported?

Erlang/Elixir and Rust will serve you perfectly for concurrent and parallel programming. OCaml 5.0, once stabilized, will do so as well.

This Python worshipping and trying to use it for everything just betrays amateur programmers underneath.

Whatever happened to "use the right tool for the job"?
Not sure. I've done original contributions to math, physics and did some significant work as a software engineer. It was fun, but then the void hit where you look back and realize the end result wasn't really interesting. And then you go look for that feeling again, but it gets harder to find every time, just like everything else. Not sure how art would make a difference here, it isn't like art is more interesting than those things, will likely just meet a void again.

The point of taxes is to provide collective goods, such as infrastructure, defense, education.

One of the first thing the US's founders did was create the postal service, which was to provide mail service to everyone, regardless of location; it literally costs the same to mail a letter across the street as to send it to some house in Whoknowswhere, Alaska. This provides a minimum communications infrastructure.

One of the best things that were done in the New Deal was the Rural Electrification Act, which ensured that electrical service was provided to everyone, providing a minimum availability of a critical energy source.

Also essential was the initial telecommunications acts, which required providing telephone service at the same rates to all addresses. Again, providing this service universally ensures that the entire country has a baseline communications infrastructure.

This is why the telecomm companies have been aggressively stripping copper telephone wires from their system and replacing everything with fiber or coax — because the laws requiring universal service are tied to phone service and copper wires. This is why we wind up with companies like Comcast saying "F*$k-You - $50,000 for 500m of wire" to to everyone that isn't instantly profitable.

These universal service mandates are not to benefit each individual living on some remote farm or homestead, or just more remote suburbs/exurbs.

They are to benefit THE ENTIRE NATION. Everyone benefits from infrastructure, and benefits most when the infrastructure is more universal, when everyone can has power, can communicate and can transport goods.

You live in an advanced society with advanced infrastructure. When that infrastructure gets built out, perhaps notice that it is a good thing, instead of thinking of only your own petty concerns.

Or, go find someplace where there are no taxes and you get to do everything yourself (hey, if you want it done right, do it yourself, right?) - see what you can find and how well you can live with no roads, comms, power, security, etc. Report back.
Lol I’m not “placing blame”

I’m stating what I see as facts. Russia will not surrender. The longer the Ukraine is in the war, the higher likelihood the people of Ukraine starve.

We can make an argument that they shouldn’t surrender. That’s a moral position.

I’m pointing out if we don’t figure it out within the next few months you’re not going to get the food from the region, as people are fighting over it. I don’t care who’s fault it is. We should recognize the situation so we can try to mitigate the issue.
I feel like this could be made into an ISP Tycoon game.
Russian foreign reserve assets are liquid, nationalized means of production for goods outside their respective chain of production isn’t and of dubious value (eg car manufacturing).
European food companies break their plastics promises
You kinda don't want to be making press releases like that because all they do is reinforce the impression people got the first time.
> They have been the poster child for corporate greed for decades.

I would give that title to Walmart and EA Games.
Of course, but there are lots of years where the inflation number was almost zero and even one year where it was negative. My allegation is that the basket is nonsense. For example, public college tuition (one of the major expenses for families) went up 250% net from 2000 to 2020 where as the CPI was up 50% net over the same time period. I think healthcare, housing, college, transportation, etc. aren't weighted into the CPI appropriately.
Thank you for commenting. I love working at the intersection of business/product/technology, and as much as I love new frameworks and shiny ideas, the best technology is usually the one that is already there. If you ask me about exactly that intersection, I do need to understand the bigger context.
Otherwise my answer would just be “yes we can rewrite the checkout in React” which doesn’t really help anybody.

As for motivation, it is of course very hard to understand one’s own motivations, and even more so other people’s motivations. It took me (please don’t laugh) 30 years to realize that I could get paid being an engineer (because I just assumed I would never be worth anything seeing how much I didn’t know about software). And only at age 40 did it dawn on me that most people are not motivated by building the best product they can, but instead do care about money, career, social prestige.

It’s ironic that this is then framed as a one-sided “can’t understand other people”, when really many people don’t understand my motivations either. And seeing how carelessly dismissive some of the comments here are, don’t even care to.
Why would you pick the situation that is clearly impossible when we're talking about inflation? Of course costs have increased.

If prices go up by 50%, and then you subtract the increase in cost, then any measure over 0 is potentially a greed-driven number.

It seems unlikely that zero companies are riding the wave of inflation acceptance in the population. At least some companies must be increasing their costs because most people aren't willing to check the math.

That isn't always greed related, sure, and some companies may be hedging against further cost increases on their end, and some may be using the increased profits to recover from COVID losses. But still, saying greed isn't a variable, as you did, seems a bit naive. Or am I missing some greater economic concept?
> The idea is to buy low and sell high, not buy high and sell low. I have 40+ years of work ahead of me. We had recessions before.

You could simplify that idea to simply just "buy". Not enough people even contribute to their retirement accounts to begin with.

Yes the number overall is tiny - but it still means that whatever I used to spend on heating/hot water, is now 6x higher.
RFC 5575 is a widely adopted specification implemented by router vendors that lets ISPs (think Comcast, Verizon, Deutsche Telekom, Akamai) block certain kinds of traffic at their routers using rules called "Flow Specifications". A rule looks _something_ like "Drop traffic if it's on Port 80 and its packet size is 252 bits". That level of logic is good enough to block many simple DDoS attacks, and since it's done on a router, it's hardware that the ISP has to buy anyway. The more expensive / but also more powerful solution usually involves a dedicated piece of hardware that does packet inspection.

A lot of the shock was due to how terrible the outcome was, rather than due to how unlikely it seemed.
The "TEVR" token encoding idea is interesting. Any chance you compared it with other subword tokenization techniques like BPE?
It also doesn't say very much. For an official statement I found it confusing.

Does this question imply sharding would be more difficult with this sort of table design, compared with other table designs?

Obviously sharding is difficult, but what would make it any more difficult with this table design?

Picking the sharding keys, avoiding hotspots, rebalancing, failover, joining disparate tables on different shards, etc... these are all complicated issues with far reaching implications, but I just don't understand how this table design would complicate sharding any more than another.

I'm not trying to sound condescending and suggest it's a dumb question... genuinely interested.
To pull back the camera a bit:

Hey, HN type people: How can we build a network of people and sites like this to replace the inferior process of adding "reddit" to the Google searches to actually find useful information?
Correct URL -> https://www.wiz.io/blog/100m-arr-in-18-months-wiz-becomes-th....

Context: This is a unique Vercel deployed URL for a specific commit, versus the main .io "alias" which acts like a pointer to the newest commit to your main git branch. If an updated was pushed to main for example, the current URL would be a fixed point in time snapshot of the site, versus the main .io "alias" which would reflect the new changes (and those changes would have their _own_ unique URL).
You should stop reading right wing conspiracy twitter.
I've definitely gotten better at consciously adding things the list of shit I try not to to think about. Which is pretty long at this point.

I finally tried weed well into my 30s and discovered it's great at making sure I don't think about those things when I'm trying to go to sleep, which is really nice.

In general I'm pretty sure I've got a fair amount of derealization going on all the time now, which... helps?

I suppose that all adds up to some kind of mellowing out.
The article doesn't state that they are less happy. It just states that they are not happier as in, they are probably pretty much equally as happy as other people.
Of course it goes down. Take a look at this chart, expand to 10y or max; inflation was about -0.75% in early 2020. In fact, it went into negative territory many times in the last decade. Prices go down during recessions, particularly.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-rate-mo...

OTOH, the Fed has goal of maintaining a 2% inflation target; so in the long run you can expect it to go up. For many many years before the pandemic, it failed to achieve that goal. Inflation was too low; which means job growth, wage growth, and gdp was below potential.
Most commenters are saying this based on the conclusion the author ends with. The lines that stood out to me is "I don't care much for saying false things to appease someone's ego. In cases like this, I'm not the one who can't acknowledge being wrong." They decided that everyone around them needs to change.
We need electoral reform because that would enable realignment. How many times do we hear people say "I really feel this way, but I support the Democrats because they aren't evil" or "yeah trump is an idiot and policies x,y,z sick, but I support the GOP because they believe in staying out of my business" or a million variations on that?

We need an electoral system that enables the existence and viability of a host of political parties, so that people can go to the ballot box and vote FOR something instead of against the "other" party.

A huge way both parties are able to capture support is through fear mongering. Dems shrewdly see some hope for political tailwinds when the GOP blocks abortion. Fox News rallies moderates and right wingers to the GOP by showing examples of the silliest examples of far left behavior (and by lying constantly).

If

* political parties had to campaign on what THEY would do rather than what their opponent does,

* Political parties could be quickly abandoned for failure to achieve those goals, and

* People could vote positively for what they support rather than against what they don't,

This country would be in a better place.

And friends, electoral reform will likely start local. If you like the idea, write your councilman. Get into municipal code and figure out what it would take to put such a system on city elections.

Nah, we'll just adopt something like the Logan's Run solution: replace the pension with carrousel and otherwise stay the course.
Benjamin Franklin describes a good one in his autobiography, excerpted below from Project Gutenberg:

> About this time I met with an odd volume of the Spectator. It was the third. I had never before seen any of them. I bought it, read it over and over, and was much delighted with it. I thought the writing excellent, and wished, if possible, to imitate it. With this view I took some of the papers, and, making short hints of the sentiment in each sentence, laid them by a few days, and then, without looking at the book, try'd to compleat the papers again, by expressing each hinted sentiment at length, and as fully as it had been expressed before, in any suitable words that should come to hand. Then I compared my Spectator with the original, discovered some of my faults, and corrected them. But I found I wanted a stock of words, or a readiness in recollecting and using them, which I thought I should have 17acquired before that time if I had gone on making verses; since the continual occasion for words of the same import, but of different length, to suit the measure, or of different sound for the rhyme, would have laid me under a constant necessity of searching for variety, and also have tended to fix that variety in my mind, and make me master of it. Therefore I took some of the tales and turned them into verse; and, after a time, when I had pretty well forgotten the prose, turned them back again. I also sometimes jumbled my collections of hints into confusion, and after some weeks endeavored to reduce them into the best order, before I began to form the full sentences and compleat the paper. This was to teach me method in the arrangement of thoughts. By comparing my work afterwards with the original, I discovered many faults and amended them; but I sometimes had the pleasure of fancying that, in certain particulars of small import, I had been lucky enough to improve the method or the language, and this encouraged me to think I might possibly in time come to be a tolerable English writer, of which I was extremely ambitious. My time for these exercises and for reading was at night, after work or before it began in the morning, or on Sundays, when I contrived to be in the printing-house alone, evading as much as I could the common attendance on public worship which my father used to exact on me when I was under his care, and which indeed I still thought a duty, though I could not, as it seemed to me, afford time to practise it.

This is literally how societies function - you contribute a small amount to the general pool, you use small amounts from the general pool. In some cases bigger chunks go for bigger works like ISPs or bridges. I certainly hope you don't want a world where every road, bridge and traffic light is independently owned.
Is it nihilism? A plage could evolve and wipe out the human race at any time, a asteroid could end all life here in a instant. Most people are engaging in "nihilism" on those topics, and many others, but if they instead made the choice to dwell on them it wouldn't make them any less likely. I suggest simply you engage in "nihilism" on a few more things you have no control over.
Yep, depending on the lay of the land doing the grunt work can save thousands or tens of thousands - if you have the company do it they'll almost certainly bring in a crew of 4 or 5 with a underground "hog" machine that's supposed to work perfectly but doesn't actually so the backhoe appears and then they cut into a buried utility line that was marked but backhoes can't read and then you wait for the power company to come out and then they fight over whose fault it was while the freezer slowly drips onto your floor.

Or you can rent a ditch witch and do it yourself and dig by hand near anything remotely marked by the marking crew.
No, the states and the federal government can too, by destroying money (IE increasing taxes).

Inflation, especially dollar inflation, is more complicated than 'printing more = inflation'.
Kind of weird that the simpler, cheaper, healthier option is easy mode for a rich country.

Some big influences on the syntax are Modula and Fortran. The first allows you to start an array with any index you like, the second starts it with one. As the article says, it started as a data language for engineers who may have been familiar with Fortran. The C-like languages were not as overwhelmingly common back when Lua started, as well.
That’s amazing. I was attending an out-of-state university with no friends or family in the area so that wouldn’t have been an option.

This is a fragile premise at best because they’re based on your subjective opinions of style and then comparing them to a completely unrelated area of hardware characteristics.

Your argument would be better if you stayed within the same sort of dimensionality. Hardware vs hardware.

Has Apple hardware declined in your opinion outside of the chips? Their screens, their speakers, their manufacturing , their fit and finish?
The neighborhood developer paid for that. The roads connecting, donated many many years ago by the landowners at that time
It started many decades ago, when low-rent importers and manufacturers bought the rights to out-of-business brand names, then started slapping them on all kinds of cheap junk and advertising them on TV. Even though it had its own store at the Mall of America, "As Seen On TV" is a red flag, not a badge of honor.

Think Crosley record players, or different anti-itch powders, and such.

Some managed to be just-good-enough to crawl back into becoming a real brand with real manufacturing. But some remained just junk, only to disappear again.

Or, in other cases, the manufacturer of cheap Chinese junk will contract with a well-known American brand to put their brand on the junk and offer it as a discount to the American company's existing customers. Readers' Digest clock radios is a good example.

Looking through Goodwill will reveal dozens of these brands, and their junk just before it hits the landfill.
