Yep, I think we're talking about the same Speakeasy ("I loved my time on Speakeasy, for example."). I remember they used to assign IPs almost at random; you wouldn't get a larger subnet, you'd just get more IPs sent down your connection and it was up to you to have the routing equipment to handle them.

This was also the rise of the OpenWRT software on the WRT54G (and GS!) because no consumer-level hardware coult do it. So many Linksys devices bricked from failing tftp sessions, but it worked so well if you could incant it onto the device.
The comment very explicitly said "passively" which is the opposite of "actively":

They’re all good to try IMO, another is https://kemalcr.com which is akin to Sinatra if you just want to get an HTTP server with routes setup quickly.
At least he cares about preserving the national identity and puts domestic issues first.

> saved by the writers

Not really. Plot of the next season has as background action the hard work of rebuilding, planet-by-planet, the old alliances that had fallen apart when the Federation collapsed.

(But then a galaxy-wide threat shows up so there's something else to worry about)
Is fiber overall less power hungry than twisted pair or copper? Asking for solar rural aspirations deep into my mind. I like the idea of it not being conductive thus not vulnerable to electrical discharges.
At least in North America (and I’d guess elsewhere, but I’ve been surprised before) there’s not a transformer per dwelling in anything besides low density rural areas.

It wasn’t having to go back out to or through a transformer, just back out along the common wire serving that phase to his and his neighbour’s houses.

It’s functionally equivalent to connecting two outlets on the same phase within your house, just a bit longer distance.
Yes, the change was to login.defs, so new users will be affected. There's no migration for existing users, because it would be breaking.
> it's that she would be tried for her crimes.

It's that she was going to be given a show trial for crimes she was obviously guilty of and that would obviously deserve the worst penalty that the system could deliver. So it was to be pointless humiliation before pointless execution.

> he fought in World War II so I'd imagine he'd understand the position that one does not accept the peace terms of, well, rulers who place themselves in a position where they are the only authority.

Is this about that one time when Hitler offered the world unconditional peace and the world turned it down in exchange for the hope of maybe one day bringing him to trial?

> a tenuous peace that would last until the dictator across the table decided it had ended

I was hoping this is what the story was about, but the mechanical lie detector machine gimmick that couldn't be fooled said that this was not the case. Any secret treachery is something that you're adding that the writers made explicitly impossible to add.

> history suggests those decisions have consequences

Exactly what historical parallel are you pointing to that involved a magic truth machine?
This the same kind of gaslit thinking people used to used to delude themselves into thinking Trump won 2020.
The dynamic range is the reason Tesla know counts photons rather than use traditional camera processing. They basically remove the concept of exposure entirely and simply pass the sensor photon counts to the neural net.

This approach not only simpler as it removes photo processing/encoding but the result is that the NN can operate with a very high dynamic range similar to the human eye and in many cases can be sensitive on the single-photon level.
What a weird setup. Talk about adverse selection. Not to mention just the positioning of it all: "So you got rejected in your 2nd round and now you're here..." Esp. since the interviewer most probably has a Big Tech background.
DoesTheThing is fine for a function. E.g. if TheThing is cosine(x) then that works. But most computer systems are not functions. They have some internal state. So it becomes DoesAThing. AThing may different every time depending on the internal state. This is neither an object nor a process in the articles terms. It's more like an object in OOP terms.
I haven't said burden, but a challenge. Because the lense won't create fancy effects on its own. It is purely the task of the photographer to make something out of it. That was in answer to the post which preferred wider and longer lenses because of their effects. Yes, a 50 should be intuitive to use.
Tesla engineers are currently doing post-commit review of Twitter source code. Focus is the last thing I would credit them with.
I can relate. I'm massive Dune fan, but I see why people would have difficulty with Frank's prose. It's dry and not particularly sensual. However it is incredibly functional and lucid once you acclimate to the world he's building. He has a strong way of making you very aware of how everything relates to one another, both in space and conceptually.

Stanislaw Lem, on the other hand. The substance is usually fantastic, but the reality of the characters tends to get obscured by long, intricate sentences that lack the precise objective descriptions of Frank's writing and lose a sense of where everything is in relation to one another. Lem tends to be extremely light on description in many instances. Perhaps that can be partly attributed to translation difficulties, as I've never read the Polish source.

On the other hand I'd disagree about Neal Stephenson, I'm reading Snow Crash for the first time (halfway through it right now) and I loved the opening chapters. There's a real kineticism with Hiro and YT speeding through traffic that I find very evocative and leaves me pining for my days of doing irresponsible shit in traffic. He really has a way of writing action that feels exciting and focused.

Neal has some hilarious descriptions that really paint a picture. There's a great description of the "rat thing" robotic sentry disarming a lawn full of aggressors with blinding speed and he describes one of the aggressors as having "had his trousers torn from the waistband all the way down to the ankle, and a strip of fabric is trailing out across the lot, as though he had his pocket picked by something that was in too much of a hurry to let go of the actual pocket before it left."

That said, if do have one gripe so far it's the five uninterrupted chapters with Hiro expositing hard with the Librarian daemon about Sumerian mythology. The concepts being discussed are really interesting but it becomes tiring after a while, even when broken up by a few interstitial chapters following YT.
Pretty suspicious; certainly dubious, potentially just a scam. Collecting sensitive information, no actual information on the site about who is behind it (bonus: it's a one page site whose backend is a third party), submitted to HN by a new account, hosted on a domain created yesterday, (ab) use of the Y Combinator name without any actual evidence of affiliation, and with logos of companies that aren't even links.
> a large portion of accidents are single vehicle accidents where the driver was at fault for the crash. Usually due to speeding, alcohol, youth, or a combination of them.

Also plenty of suicides in that group, which confuses the stats.

We really need SDCs to have fewer accidents than human drivers, excluding the suicides.
I read The Man in the High Castle about one month ago, and contra OP think it's one of the better written sci-fi books.

Its problem is that it is hard to extract meaning from, and the plot kind of goes nowhere. I found it unsatisfying, but not uninteresting.
I think that has more to do with under-investment in infrastructure. Britain does have recurring droughts but they're pretty shallow.
Bummer, I liked jxl better than heic or avif. Guess avif will be the eventual winner then. At least I hope heic dies someday.

I'm super hesitant to take any position at all on this given who the author is and the issues surrounding him, so I will comment more generally.

The internet is becoming smaller (I don't mean in physical size), more centralized, controlled by fewer parties, and I really fear at this point how far that is going to continue in the future. Truthfully at one point I never thought we'd end up where we now find ourselves.

I see the dream of what the internet was supposed to be dying and it makes feel hopeless if I'm honest. It's one of the most important things we've ever collectively built and yet I'm increasingly cynical about its impact and future.
What technology stack do you use, and why did you choose this stack?

We use Javascript everywhere, since we solve the “issues” caused by Javascript rendering we want to build as much expertise as possible in this field. But for the other parts, we are taking advantage of CloudFlare’s distributed system for fast response and global scalability. While our uptime guarantees are supported by Digital Ocean’s cloud platform. We also use a myriad of other SaaS providers to maximize our effectiveness.

Quoting in case you were looking for this part like me.
> for crimes she was obviously guilty of

If she was obviously guilty, then wouldn't rule of law indicate she should be held accountable?

If she isn't held accountable, what is the nature of the government formed by the Emerald Chain / Federation alliance?

ETA: lies aren't necessary. Osyraa could 100% believe what she was saying in the moment. But that's the thing about those who are above the law... The next day, she could decide something else was more expedient, change her mind, and break the peace. There would be nothing to hold her to account if she did, and she had clearly been indicated to be an opportunist and a power-broker.
> but if you agree the Roberts and Rehnquist courts were conservative, then this court simply must be more so.

This is the Roberts court.

> Perhaps not as partisan as some liberal courts. You can't dismiss that this court is partisan simply because you agree with its decisions.

What does “partisan” mean in this context? What makes this court “partisan”? If “partisan” means displaying ideological favouritism, then the court has been partisan for a very long time, and this court is not fundamentally more “partisan” than its predecessors, even as the favoured ideology has shifted over time - completely independently of whether I or anyone agrees with any of those decisions. Whereas, if that’s not what you mean by “partisan”, what do you mean by it?
Great idea! Will you make the model or source code available? I would love to play with this locally.
Munro’s cost breakdown is much more informative in just how much it’ll save in terms of parts/labor. https://youtu.be/LS3Vk0NPFDE

In general the ‘harm to consumers’ is really just making it more likely they damage the car in a parking lot or their garage, which tells you where their priorities are (sales, Automotive gross profit). Assuming occupancy network works, the only real blind spot left is if something in front of the car changes in between it turning off and on (assuming occupancy will 'remember' the map around it when it goes to sleep).

Also, Tesla’s strategy for safety is seemingly “excel in industry standard tests, ie. IIHS and EuroNCAP”, so this might be a case of the measure becoming a target.

Is Brazil's national identity at risk? (genuine question, I'm uninformed about Brazil).
I had the same experience as you -- my first Unix account was in the late 80s on a Solbourne running OS/MP. I recall the load average hovering around 150 and simple C programs taking minutes to compile as hundreds of undergrads on vt-220 terminals all worked late into the night before project deadlines. I never physically saw the machine (it was owned by the campus-wide IT folks), and I was thankful when I got an account on the much less crowded CS systems the next semester.

FWIW, this was SUNY Buffalo. Where were you?
Gmail isn't a protocol, nor is it open.

People don't self host email because 1) the protocol doesn't make it easy to deal with incoming spam on a small scale, and 2) giants like gmail tend to automatically flag unique email domains as suspicious. Which is a valid criticism of the federated model, or rather the people using it.

If more people found value in decentralization, in theory they would also be more critical of their node management, opting to reject anti-competitive behavior in a democratic way. Unfortunately, for democracy to work, citizens have to be educated and fight for it. If they don't, it's easy to have centralized, ostensibly totalitarian walled gardens.

We just need to make sure fediverse accounts are easily transferable between nodes in a standardized way, something I don't think mastodon does well, and email doesn't do at all.

Are those rejected from Big Tech better candidates than those who never applied (and thus never got rejected) from Big Tech?

Or is it specifically using Big Tech's first round interview approval for startups to skip doing doing first round due diligence in the first place?

What if there's something "off" in the way Big Tech accepts first round interviews but then rejects second round interviews?

My 2nd interview w/ Facebook (years ago) was so full of red flags I decided to never even consider big tech after that
I think parent comment is trying to make a joke by referencing the common refrain of American republicans regarding election denialism.
I don't have the professional experience that most of the commenters here have, but I hear a lot of negativity. Like, a lot.

Sure, the compilers might be a little bit behind, but who cares, I believe it's just a matter of time before they implement the missing features. They are pretty solid, the libs are battle tested, the ecosystem is huge (which can be an issue too).

For me the bigges issues are:

- lots of pre-11 docs and blogs showing up in the first 1-2 search pages

- not clear answers or FAQs about how to develop cross platform code (and backward compatible), the devil is always in the details here.

- not always clear which tool to use: what do I use for unit tests? And coverage? I would like to have like 2-3 top used libs, the rest I don't care

- some things which should be basic in 2022 can be daunting for people coming from simpler languages like Python or Javs, stupid example: dates. I see that with c++20 they did a lot of good work (with chrono, not sure if there is anything else), but that's not enough. The API is really good, but it's quite minimalistic for a 2020 standard. You can clearly live with that, but if you want to keep the language competitive you need to provide also higher level constructs. (Just to say some BS: Take Python's date module and copy it as is.)

Finally, if you exclude all the features you won't probably ever use, focus on simplicity and use the tools at your disposal (clang-tidy, clang-format, etc.) I think things are quite OK. But hey, I am not paid to work on old c++ codebases so of course I might be biased :)

In a typical ORM I agree about the query builder. Most ORMs encourage the typical use of a relational database where SQL fits the domain well.

But Ent is modeling data as a graph, and the DB behind the scenes is more of an implementation detail. The production version of Ent used at Meta stores data in TAO (https://engineering.fb.com/2013/06/25/core-data/tao-the-powe... my impression is that product engineers do not write any SQL when working with Ent at Meta.

They literally had a truth machine. If they cared, they could just ask.

> The next day, she could decide something else was more expedient, change her mind, and break the peace.

So could the Federation. So could anyone, so that really precludes anyone dealing with anyone else because even though they could be honestly dealing today, maybe at some later date everything could change.

All of these excuses require facts that are not in evidence, or that were explicitly contradicted by the plot. I wouldn't trade one innocent life for the chance to execute a dictator who has completely stood down. The Federation was willing to exchange uncountable ones.

It depends on the thing at hand. Some things have value because others use them. Chat apps tend towards monopolies because of this.

Email's just so damned old everyone uses the standard and it kind of dodges the issue.

Email's also structurally a bit different - it's a set of one-way sends to select recipients, with chats you moreso go to a place and read the place's signboard.

You could in principle just use mailing lists under the hood instead if the UI wasn't garbage.
I see your point but I am not sure about this. I suspect a lot of people use just as much water but spread it out longer. In California there are a lot of devices mandated to reduce consumer use (flow restrictors and so on), but interior water use often demands fixed quantities. For example if you want to have a bath rather than a shower then people will use the capacity of the tub, likewise if you boil water for cooking a flow restrictor just means it takes longer to fill the pot to the required level. So people use just as much but just suffer lower pressure.

Toilet cisterns arguably do reduce usage but then many people complain about less effective flushing which requires additional water; I don't have data to know if these objections are just a cliche or reflect an actual problem. My understanding is that lawn-watering is the biggest waste of water by consumers, to the point that some local authorities will subsidize people reorganizing their gardens to be more suitable for a dry climate.
They said “change management” as in the management of changes not the replacement of the management team.
The "real" (i.e. without central authority) internet isn't over HTTP. It hasn't been for some time now, and all of the web3 stuff lately is the result of that latent sentiment bubbling up for the last 30 years.

The core issue is that alternate options for maintaining a generally accessible presence rely on squatting traditional infrastructure -- TOR, freenet, i2p, urbit, etc. all rely on some sort of cloaked communication over the standard global network hierarchy, and can at any time be blocked on a packet level if the established entities wish it. These blocks can be circumvented, and so far they have been, but freedom is generally on the defensive here.

What is the solution? Meshnets are the only thing that come to mind, but they're not a feasible thing to construct, especially with a niche userbase.
Yeah, one-way door decisions VS two-way door decisions is how it's called in Amazon and while it's not a leadership principle in itself it is also ingrained in the culture.
