Exactly. I feel that monitoring solutions have to be the opposite of backup ones.

For backups, you ideally want the backup server to do a pull from the backed-up servers, to avoid that a security incident in one of them could damage your backups.

But for monitoring, I feel that push is the way to go. I want only the minimal, indispensable connections into my production servers.
Came to say exactly this.

As much as I don't like VMWare as a company, I have to agree, this stinks.
Zuck owns a majority of the shares and there may not be anyone to please besides him. Also, cutting 50% of the expensive tech jobs sounds profitable to me.

The issue is that Zuck is no Craig Newmark. Craig is a nice guy, a philanthropist, and generally a good figure to look up to become one day.

> The thing I don't understand well enough is the ads: Can you charge more, because your users are older and buy different things, or do teens and younger people have more disposable income?

The ads run at auction, FB doesn't explicitly charge a set price for the inventory. Facebook for years has been running with an inflationary inventory (first fb, then fb newsfeed+fb, then fb+nf+insta, then fb+nf+insta+ insta stories, etc). Meaning that they have more ad slots, and more impressions, and can create a lower (at least in short term) the price per ad, while increasing overall revenue. Remember, Facebook is really good at getting an ad to the right person, so Facebook ad inventory has been valuable. If Facebook stops adding new features, then the inventory becomes static, and the price per ad will rise (again, valuable), and price out their ad customers.

(I think the idea is terrible but more feasible than people give credit for).
tl;dr

Franco offers four tips, based on her research.

1. Shower them with (platonic) affection

Remind them you are grateful to know them. These simple acts provide a layer of security in the relationship. It shows your friends that you genuinely care for them and lets them know it's safe to invest in your friendship.

2. Lavish them with your skills and talents

Being generous with your friends — sharing your time, attention or resources with them — is an easy way to nurture your friendships

3. Spill your struggles, joys ... and guilty pleasures

Think about how good it feels to tell a friend you secretly like a trashy TV show and hear them respond "me too!" We feel a deeper connection to our friends when our vulnerability is met with validation and support.

4. Don't sweep your disagreements under the rug

It's hard to deal with conflict in friendships, says Franco. But being able to deal with conflict with friends in a healthy, constructive way can strengthen your friendships
Yeah, I'm giving a simplified version, and also avoiding disclosing some details that might blow back on my friend. It was considerably more nasty than that article portrays via the quotes.

Fair enough. I don't know how to delete it so I'll edit it. I genuinely didn't understand what they were trying to say.

However at some point we WILL need a way to differentiate between real humans and AI generated content for farming.
They asked very politely for you to clarify some details after they tried themselves but were unable to verify it by looking it up. Your hostility is unwarranted and rude. People are not psychic, it was quite reasonable for them to ask.
That's a good intuition for first order PA, where the completeness theorem holds, but not the full story either. PA in second order logic only has a single model, but is still incomplete: there are statements that are true in the only model, but not provable.

"Marketing doesn't work" -- something marketers tell people to make them more susceptible to marketing
the main challenges facing web games are:

1. hard to monetize

2. lack of mature tooling (Unreal dropped Web support, Unity pretty much has just 1 FTE maintaining WebGL support, and Godot is still catching up)

3. mobile UX sucks (try playing a game in Safari on iOS)

not to say it isn't possible to make really cool games on the web. and some have been quite successful recently, like FNF. but it's a verrrrry tiny slice of the overall games market, and has been shrinking over time since the death of flash and the rise of mobile

Many people buy Bitcoin to "hodl", not to use, giving it some gold-like characteristic.

If there was some crypto without any incentives of hodling long term, I'm sure the adoption would be higher. People don't spend Bitcoin the same way they don't spend gold in daily life: to own it as a long-term value reserve.
From the HN guidelines: “Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work.”

First, there’s some backstory behind that infamous Verge PC guide video- it’s not really Stefan Etienne (the guy in the video)’s fault, and The Verge eventually also acknowledged that it wasn’t a great video. Stefan is a great sport and wound up doing a followup with Linus Tech Tips [1]. At this point dragging up the PC build video is a tired meme and isn’t really useful commentary anywhere; it feels like a bit of a low blow.

Second, “this guy also built their new site” is categorically untrue; Stefan hasn’t worked for The Verge for some time, and I’m fairly certain that in actuality it was some larger team that built the new site and worked hard to do so.

Third, critiques on HN should be constructive instead of dismissive. I for one miss the information density that the old site provided, but there are elements of the new site that I think are great. I love the idea behind their “story stream” feed; I think having a specifically curated, opinionated topical news feed with an actual editorial voice is a huge breath of fresh air compared with having algorithmically generated news feeds shoved in front of my eyes on Twitter or Facebook or wherever. The cleaner design of article pages and overall fast load time are nice improvements too; the previous version of The Verge was notoriously slow to load. On a whole I think there’s more to like than dislike, and I’m sure they’ll keep iterating and tweaking the site over time. Broadly I’m willing to give the new design a chance and see where it goes (as opposed to just posting a cheap dismissal on HN for the sake of getting a zinger in).

Uptime and performance seems to be monitored pretty closely since 2020:

https://www.openbanking.org.uk/api-performance/

These figures only include the “top 9” UK banks that are required to implement open banking, not smaller banks like Monzo.

I’d argue that open banking is already being used for lots of serious stuff. Credit checking, for example. And of course pretty much any accounting/financial software supports open banking now days.
I grew up there in the early 2000s and it was a great city. Lots of kids to play with from your own block, access to local shops within walking distance, safe enough that kids walk around and play by themselves. One of the things I loved the most was going to friends houses and learning what their block was like.

There's parts that suck, over reliance on cars, no public transit, lots of things are just a little bit too far to walk to. But overall, Brasília had more easily accessible green space dedicated to people than most cities in the world imo.
I like the basic principle of peer review, but not how it's done. I understand why it was done that way for so long, but we have the technology to do better now.

I read an interview with a TV show runner who said you can come up with any crazy plot twist thing, and within 10 minutes of the first episode airing some guy on the internet has already figured the whole thing out. I think this phenomenon could be put to good use.

You end up with either the whole company, or you piss off the people that you wanted when you fire their co-workers. It also pulls in an almost complete graph of employees who are isolated from the new parent company.

Its much better to pull off the people that you want, and get them to join willingly, as they tend to adopt the culture/learn better when in isolation.

> then he realized it was overpaying when the market crashed.

His initial security filing announcing stake seems to be related to Twitter's value increasing 27%. If knowledge of Musk owning a stake in Twitter increases the value of all shares, we can forgive Musk for believing that the value would continue to increase if he made an offer to buy Twitter above that amount, which he did. If he had just kept his mouth shut, but his statements had the opposite effect than intended, and Twitter's share started dropping following his stated intentions to change specific things at Twitter, and never rose again to his estimation based on his extrapolating from the positive effect of his initial security filing. He screwed the pooch, his mouth was causing shares to fall, and then he wanted out.

There are three things that have changed since the number of deaths went up in 2020.
Covid, lockdowns and the associated harms and the vaccine. Now apparently covid deaths are down, yet excess deaths remain elevated. So the two obvious changes are a rushed "vaccine" with what appears to be fraudulent trials and lockdowns causing delayed diagnosis, treatment or suicide.

It should be easy to compare vaccinated to unvaccinated groups to find out if the vaccine is causing problems. But rather then do that, the authorities have done their best to destroy the control group and coerce everyone to take the failed "vaccine".
> Yes, poverty is still high but sanctions are still oppressive.

Which sanctions exactly? Surely a communist country doesn't need free trade, that's a capitalist concept and Marx was against it.

> They have higher literacy rates than Canada

This shows you the value of literacy as a metric. North Korea also has high literacy, it's not a reason to prefer living there to Canada.

The amount of people trying to immigrate to the US vs any other country contradicts this.

Java itself isn't necessarily slow, it's the application design.

> then rebuilding it stronger

That's a very rare occurrence in software. Honestly it's probably about as common as in housing. You can rebuild parts of a piece of software but the build system is generally really foundational and almost never changes in my experience. Especially if the software isn't a library so nobody except the main developers has to interact with the build system.
Some people are underdelivering because they lack the training and mentorship they need but can't get when working remotely.
2.5 Gbit/s is slow when we're talking about storage. Even for a laptop. Some folks work with large files, like large VMs, raw video, etc.
The alternative (or an engineering trade off!) can be doing the opposite: Only care for on-axis sound, and while at it put most of the energy on the axis to reduce energy of reflections. Drawback: Works best with one or at most two listeners, plus speakers and listener are constrained in their relative positions.

The bundling is a matter of membrane diameter and frequency. Bigger diameter result in stronger beam forming, however lower frequencies have less beam forming.

There's a big difference. If you write to a file using the stdlib in java, you will block an OS thread. In Go you won't.

That does not mean all Go calls are cancelable, they're not.

If, in a Scala/Python/Rust async function you use a synchronous stdlib function, that call will block the whole OS thread with it.

The following experiment will show you the difference:

In Java, run 10 futures on a threadpool of 4 workers, with each future doing a thread.Sleep(1s). That will finish after 3 seconds.

In Go, run 10 goroutines with GOMAXPROCS=4, with each doing time.Sleep(1s). That will finish after 1 second.

> 2. The purpose of a listed business is to pay the owners, not to produce goods or services - producing goods or services is just a means through which to pay the owners.

This is true only in the simplest of world views. Let's take this idea to the real world. Let's say all food producer would say today to stop and instead start producing toilet wipes(or insert anything here) or whatever because the can make more money that way. Now suddenly we won't have any food producers tomorrow and billions will starve. Clearly food productions companies only purpose wasn't to make money for owners, it was also shockingly to keep people from starving.
This is why it's generally best to avoid dependencies as much as possible; "a little copying is better than a little dependency".

That said, updating dependencies / many code changes because of it isn't necessarily a bad thing. It may need to be restricted to once a month though, unless there's a security incident. But honestly, in Go, dependencies don't change that often so you don't need to update so frequently.

Though many of the communists followed Moscow's order and only started resisting after 1941 and Germany's attack on the URSS; before that Moscow's message to French communists was more of collaboration with its nazi ally.
Mullvad VPN: Authoritative DNS Server Audit Completed by Assured AB
I wish there was a modern laptop with something like the Thinkpad Ultradock, where the laptop connects to a stand-dock via a connection on the bottom. If you do your typing on the laptop keyboard itself, they provide a nice bit of elevation, charging and loads of ports, and can be disconnected by just pressing a button.

I doubt we'll see it again, even Thinkpad ditched it iirc. But it feels like it'd be perfect for Framework, as the ports on the dock itself could be modular like the laptop. I'd largely solve the problem of this ethernet port not looking flush, as it'd set out of view.

Probably just wishful thinking

> Step one of the metaverse is everyone invests in a VR headset. This is a complete non-starter.

Subsidizing it seemed to get a lot more people to buy it over the last few years. I 100% see a world where you don't buy a monitor, you buy a headset to use your computer. Monitors are big, ugly and fragile, and not portable. In 2-5 years when the screen tech is better and I can use a virtual monitor instead of a real one, I will 100% do that, and I think many will. Lots of younger people never buy traditional desktop or laptops.

Also, a lot of "meta verse" dialog came from not-meta, eg web3 NFT shit, so I wouldn't place too much into that being their vision. Part of a strategy for attention is certainly to get people excited, and attaching "meta verse" to random trend du jour seems like a solid way to get attention. There are crypto pumps related to the queens recent death, but that doesn't mean the queen would have wanted anything to do with crypto.

That building doesn't look appealing, I agree, but I was in Brasília a year ago, and it is a wonderfully designed city, far better than many.

You can walk to many places, apartment buildings don't block your path, there are plenty of parks, and you don't need cars for everything like in American cities.

If that's your criticism, then I wish more cities were designed, and as similar to Brasília as possible.

> Why do we still have the RJ45 connectors at all?

> We've transitioned other technologies.

I wouldnt say we have transitioned to other tech. And we still have it because inertia. Same reason why serial is still widely used. Also, ethernet != RJ45. You can have hardwired point to point connections with ethernet as well, and those can be quite compact.

> Is the industry so focused on WiFi that they are just hoping it will go away for end user devices?

> Surely even if the data-centre a compact alternative would be a cost saving due to taking up less space?

> What am I missing here?

Ethernet is simply more reliable and scalable. Reliable in that there is basically no risk of it disconnecting, and scalable in that you can have hundreds of ethernet cables besides each other without much interference. With WIFI it'd become unusable.
> Why not just use the right tool for the job ? (i.e. hosted DB or compute).

Because sometimes you want a database for 10000 rows, or you have 5 logins a month and you don't want a $30/month database running in the cloud.

There's a market out there for real "server-less" database that charges you per rows stored, is priced per read/write operations, and is reasonably priced for a 10000 rows per month, without having to calculate how many 4KB blocks you are going to read or write.
I feel like software developers have either the biggest or the smallest egos; the majority is in the last category and will keep their head down. But in companies, all the managerial staff - including these days scrum masters, which is now a dedicated role by a non-developer - will strut around like they own the place and everything would fall apart if it wasn't for them.
How does the Rust compiler handle, check bounds and ensures nothing bad can happen with a dynamic array that is passed to a Rust module from the Kernel, another C module or a C userspace program?

If an array and a length can be passed to a Rust module, I can just lie about it's size and, unless there is a runtime bound check (which can be slow), I guess bad things can happen too.
