I wrote a Python script (it's so shoddy and easy to recreate I won't even share) that will (1) look for definitions as words/expressions between asterisks (2) look for dependencies (words that should be defined beforehand) and (3) produce paragraph-paragraph graph -> minimum spanning tree -> toposort.

The plan is to take five-ish years of blog material that's nearly unreadable to people who haven't followed it from the beginning and produce ordered text.

This is not true, of course. In the US, millions of students still learn and write cursive. Yes, even in public schools. Is it uniformly taught/practiced? No, but it’s far from ‘dying out’. My wife is a 20+ year public school teacher, and daughter attends a Waldorf school.

And all criticisms I read of cursive seem to utterly ignore the proven cognitive and other benefits of handwriting, instead focusing on ‘efficiency’ and ‘speed’ or—even sillier—comparing it to ‘keyboarding’ as if handwriting’s only value is its utility.

I do webdev as a hobby. Making random cool projects and sharing them on Github for everyone to enjoy. I don't expect to get financially compensated for my efforts though. The reason I keep it as a hobby is that the thoughts of doing stuff for fun, and then /working/ on the same material at a job is excessive and means your whole life is swamped in coding, which is unhealthy.

There are many people who have 'went pro' and turned their hobby into a job, but I wouldn't be able to handle that. The thing about jobs is that you have to adhere to someone else's rules and schematics and work on things that don't excite you as a hobby would do. If possible, switch to doing code as a hobby and stop chasing jobs (which churn out code at breakneck speed and your code becomes vaporware within a month).

Ah sure, since I've invested more than half a million euros in the "green tech" studying it and draw my conclusions and they are far different from the current propaganda I have to shut my mouth.

I can help actually, those who want that help, for instance suggesting to ARREST for crime against humanity top neoliberals in chiefs from G8/T20 to "World Government" [1] to top companies CEOs from pharma to energy stating clear to their subjects that they can do their best to cooperate building a new Democratic society or face a fierce revenge by an angry crowd who will not likely recognize humans rights on those that never recognize them.

In the meantime start debating/planning a MASSIVE de-urbanization since that's the sole way I see to evolve cities to something sustainable, targeting a vast riviera without much hubs except few districts who need to be dense for specific needs, from schools to automotive. Targeting the same evolution of IT from big mainframes to clusters of small machines.

Clearly state that ALL critical sectors like health, weapons, energy, TLCs, roads and water of a country can't NEVER ever anymore be private nor a mix of private and public bodies and trying that from the public is high treason, from the private is an attempted coup.

Creating PUBLIC ONLY research centers with funds and religious separation from the private sector to craft the evolution of the humanity not just the one of a very small cohort of oppressors.

Proposing a military service following the classic Swiss model: both sex from 18 to 28 one PAID month per year of guerrilla like training with weapon and ammo at home only AFTER being trained and check, so in case of attempted gov. coup protests would know what to do and since both parties are armed and trained both party remain peaceful fully knowing that being violent means ending in a bloodbath with no winners.

Because yes, the green new deal is not about ecology nor pollution but a new society designed like adolf hitler dreams who are now Klaus Schwab & friends dreams.

Of course veeeeery few seems to agree with that so the society keep going in it's suicidal way. My equipment's in 10 years will be probably irreplaceable due to a deep social collapse that demand at least 30 years to recover and in any case will cost more and more because their target is not a "green" revolution but pushing people to poverty to steer them better.

Time-based OTP (TOTP), which is what Google Authenticator implements, is not the same as FIDO U2F. They use different underlying mechanisms and have different security properties.

TOTP relies on a shared secret key to generate a matching code on client & server. FIDO U2F uses a challenge-response protocol and incorporates the domain of the requesting website (the domain as verified by TLS certificate) into the challenge to ensure that the response is _only_ valid when it was requested directly from the correct website. This prevents phishing attacks, which TOTP does not.
I don't think that's true -- a "full" rewrite is used in contrast to a "partial" rewrite, where only part of the system is replaced. It's called a "full" rewrite because the goal from the start is to fully replace the system with new code.

Consider that if this were not true, then there would be no way to describe an incremental full rewrite, nor any way to describe a from-scratch replacement of a subsystem.

I've written on this topic before, for example https://increment.com/software-architecture/exit-the-haunted...
There are employers of record that will hire employees on a company’s behalf through a local entity when the company doesn’t have their own. I’m currently employed through Deel, for example.
I was born in the same year and had the same experience on the SAT. When we got to that part, everyone was audibly confused.

In my elementary school we were taught non-slanted cursive, which was billed as more readable but also slower to write. Learning it involved copying text and having it judged, there was hardly any practice in reading cursive writing, maybe 5 birthday cards worth.

Occasionally there would be an old-fashioned teacher who would write on the board in cursive, and I'd just listen to them and mostly go by what they said out loud.
I would wrap this in some kind of thin candy shell so that you can inspect/record every single thing the application is doing, from a behavioral standpoint. For instance, put API gateways in front of it so that all requests are logged, the routes, parameters, etc. eBPF comes to mind as a tool that might help here. Same would go for instrumenting the database. The goal is to reverse engineer 80% of how it works by just looking at external IO. This is one area where containers can be very powerful, since they naturally encapsulate the system and allow for these sorts of bulk measurements 'for free'

My thinking is that you can essentially plug a thousand probes into this frankenstein monster and start to learn the true shape and surface area of it without needing to step through the mess of the code. Then the code might make more sense, or at least a clearer path forward as to what a new architecture needs to look could appear.

Static analyzers might also be helpful, since the full featured ones tend to provide gui tools or outputs of things like call graphs or dependency chains. That can be useful in learning the 'true' surface area of the app, too.

20 mil a year is no joke, so use that to your advantage. It sounds like this has been stretched so thin that at this point it is a huge disaster/liability waiting to happen, so I would try and leverage some of that cash to use whatever paid/advanced tooling might be necessary to help here. Old PHP apps are a security nightmare waiting to happen, particularly as the world has moved on to higher and higher TLS levels.
>Giving money to people who think the goal is to raise money - this is how it ends.

This is exactly the message I pulled from this article. The mission needs to be the product or service you are offering, the pitch to raise capital is to help you get there. This seemed to be the exact opposite…raising capital was the mission, the product and service was the means used to get there.

In high school (gawd, 30 years ago now), we had to memorize the opening of Canterbury Tales in Old English. I can still recite the first few lines. Why? What was the point of forcing students to do that? It's taking up precious space in the very limited memory banks. Instead, I can't remember if the arguments for the explode function has the string then the separator or the separator and then the string.

Just a word of caution: I've tried replacing the mitigation patch (which I had been using for 18 months) with the author's minimal fix (the first out of the 6 patches, which is supposed to fix the issue) and I've immediately ran into a deadlock while building Poly/ML 5.9 (3 times, in fact), whereas previously I hadn't encountered this bug before, despite having built Poly/ML many times.

This was on a 32-core machine with lots of background compilation going on at the same time (i.e. with a high load).

It could be a coincidence or an unrelated bug, but it's also possible that the author's patch might not fix the issue completely.
I think we’ve learned an enormous amount since the start of the conflict. We’ve learned a lot about the tenacity, imagination and commitment of the Ukrainian people. We’ve learned about some severe limitations and weaknesses in Russian military organisation and doctrine. I don’t mean to beat on Russia in a partisan way, although I support Ukraine, but these are facts even many supporters of the Russian military acknowledge especially after the Kharkiv counter offensive. In that action we discovered that the Ukrainians are also capable of taking territory, not just the Russians.

We don’t know precisely how the conflict will end, but we have excluded many possible endings that seemed plausible in the first days but now seem extremely improbably or practically impossible. In that way the possible space of outcomes had shrunk considerably. Russia isn’t going to capture Kyiv or depose the Ukrainian government by military force, for example. It seems increasingly unlikely that they are even going to take the entire Donbas region. It seems very unlikely that the conflict will be resolved this year. As winter bites, the situation may change though. As the months go on we will learn even more.

I think you've received lots of helpful feedback here. I've read quite some of it and can follow some thoughts. What I wonder is:

- Is anything broken after all? Yes, there are annoyances and risks, but in the greater schenem, everything seems to work. Is fixing really necessary or would you just feel better after that?

- What does the "aggressive roadmap" look like? Build another product? Double or triple the revenue from this product? I think this helps/defines how to handle the situation.

- Your job as middle level management (at least that's how I understand it, being in that position myself) is to shield your teams from direct hits with piles of shit, while getting them running to evade the stuff by themselves at some point. Seems like your team already did great things in building the product, now help them get better, one small step at a time. I think they can see the benefits in things like using Git but probably you need to help them make some room to learn it without fearing that upper level management thinks they are lazy and not doing anything...

- Leaving the company: Maybe that's a viable option, too. You can't save them all. And if you feel overwhelmed by the task and see no way forward, you should leave. That's not about being weak, it's about protecting yourself from an unmanagable task.
I have a few static sites hosted with Github Pages, with a custom domain that I have renewed for the next 10 years. I have 'set and forget' the projects yet I am always promoting the projects on social media. Total cost: $0.00 for hosting, $50.00 for a 10-year domain.
I am kind of skeptical - the original author of the GTA 6 leak left a Telegram username to contact him, but that Telegram account was only registered today/yesterday (ID 5731422660), so it might as well be someone else who's trying to impersonate that Uber hacker.

Or it could simply be that his older account got lost/blocked/something else so he made a new one :)
4000 Weeks was a game-changer for me. I found the takeaways liberating, and more in-line with my perspectives in general.

My ‘system’ now is just focusing on one major goal outside of the regular work/family stuff.

“and We Also”
I completely agree that Graeber's barter myth "debunking" is bullshit. However, even as a thought experiment, the barter story was never very enlightening - actually more confusing than anything. It suggests that money is a commodity (salt, gold, cigarettes or whatever), while we know that's not the case. The gold standard is long gone and bank lending creates money. These facts are very hard to explain starting from barter.

I still recommend Graeber's book. If you already have a decent grasp of macroeconomics it can provide perspective and depth.
A market does not require an open ecosystem, it just requires competition. These walled gardens compete heavily with each other.

> I wouldn't tell your boss about your side-project either. He will likely just see it as a sign of lack of dedication…

This.

Some people are either too naive or too trustworthy of their boss. You should never disclose your side gigs yo anyone remotely connected to your work unless they are also part of your side gig.
> I get that you have made that up. In fact, despite aggressive propaganda efforts, the borrow checker is not the only way to get static correctness

I find it interesting that people often like to project their own thoughts onto others. When that happens it causes a sharp contrast between my own and their own reflected opinion:

- First off. I never said that borrow checker is only way to ensure static correctness (assuming you don't consider GC static correctness), it's just the most well known, both to me and to people on HN at large. Other approach like Cyclone are mostly research languages.

- Second you never proved your code had no user-after-free. Just claimed it was.

- Third, propaganda? I just use it and consider more safety better than nothing. It's just a hobby for me. So I have no idea where that came up?
Tbf, that's been the case for a hundred years since headphones were invented. I doubt it's changed much.
Rust doesn't help with implementing low level primitives like this, you'd have to use unsafe code.
My take on the endless cycle of change is that I love the enthusiasm and passion still being poured into the field but I must be diligent in evaluating what is being presented before believing it. Whenever a new framework or tool comes to my attention I try to ask myself what problem is this solving and do I actually have that problem? Most solutions usually come with trade offs and the times where I have made the best decisions are always when I understand what I am gaining at the expense of what it costs me. I try to remember that every new thing tries, rightfully so, to put its best foot forward and if I fail to do my due diligence in evaluating its offerings compared to my needs that I am doing myself a disservice.

I fully admit that I too sometimes find the noise of all the enthusiasm to be a bit taxing but I try to remind myself that I hear all the noise because I am excited about web dev. In the times where I am not tired of the noise I am seeking more and more of the latest and greatest. So I try to remind myself it’s ok to not pay attention to every single thing; not knowing about one particular thing will not prohibit me from making great things with what I do know.

It sounds like you are enjoying webdev so my advice is to do just that and remember that all the hype is just someone else’s passion for webdev too.

There are people willing to entertain strange ideas. A minority. The "strangers".

And there is everybody else. The vast majority. The "normies"

Everybody talks to everybody on the internet. Therefore every stranger is surrounded by normies.

At best the stranger is ignored. At worst he is shouted down.

This creates a ubiquitous field of strange idea suppression.

One must find a private club. That's hard.

There is a weird absence of private clubs on the internet. Or at least they are hard to find.

I guess any private club that advertises its existence immediately gets stuffed with normies.

Last week, during a meeting, I found myself scribbling some notes in cursive some 20 years later since having last used it, the only way we have been thought to write in school in an Eastern European country. I didn't know it was possible for anyone to not understand cursive or to forget it, even if one wanted it. This is definitely a thing just in the US.

I have been writing in block letters because my writing is tidier this way and have self-taught myself to do it.

Maybe this way less entitled peoples will have a better chance at making it, a sort of culling of the weak and unwilling.

We both try to work on stuff while watching so subtitles isn't something we can just turn on.

It used to be that banks would compare signatures to approve/decline checks. What are checks you ask? Exactly!

It used to be that tellers would compare signatures from the back of your card to the signature you just scribbled on the receipt to ensure it was really your card.

My US-based, tween kids were taught to read and write cursive in school.

I keep hearing this myth but haven’t ran into anyone that I know of that actually didn’t learn cursive.
Zaner-Bloser is disproportionate and ugly and should have never been taught to anyone.

Had recent generations been taught something practical like D'Nealian or something beautiful like Spencerian then maybe cursive wouldn't have gotten such a bad wrap.
